''FREE SPEECH AND FREE BA

L nee CE EGN1 AMI oAL-
LOT" is the conspicuous heading Of
q double-leaded editorial article in
the morning Ne,cs. In Delaware
the ballot has never been free. II
has always been surrounded with
constitutional checks, requiring Ger,
tain qualifications and duties which
could not be got rid of. Judging
from the present aspect of political
sentiment it will be long time be-
fore the Nescs sees its claim to a
Stree ballot" secured. We have
had some experience at trying to
alter and amend the Constitution of
Delaware, and we found it one of the
most tedious of all processes, and
finally failed in the end.
The Ne,os has other opposition to
encounter beside that of the amend
ment to the Constitution, which of
itself is quite enough. Before it
can have a Stree ballot" it will have
10 secure a constitutional majority
sufficient of its own party of its
own way of thinking. And just
there may arise the greatest obstacle
of all.
For it is an open secret that the
party which the Aers has espoused
has already made its brags through
its leaders, that if it once gets hold
of the Delaware Legislature it will
make such a registry law as will
forever shut out of power the Demo
cratic party. This is the determine
tion of the Radical negro party in
Delaware. And with this sentiment
the Neps will most likely be found
to agree as soon as it sees that it cs n
be carried out So that the talk of
''free BALLOT is a mere catch
penny. 1t means, in fact, free
ballot for negroes, and no ballot for
Democrats, unless they accomplish
certain difficult things which will
not be agreeable or easily to do.
Do Democrats believe that a party
which excluded them from the polls
unless they took a false oath and
committed perjury, has so changed
in a decade as to permit free
ballot ?" We think not As to
"free speech" why we have had
sufficient evidence of the fact that
speech is as free in Delaware as it is
desired it should be anywhere. But
the people are not indebted to the
party which the NeUs has espoused
for "fres speech" No indeed. II
is only too fresh in the minds of the
people Of Delaware that it was dan
gerops for man to attempt to utter
his political sentiments in Delaware
while the Radicals had control of
the State. Free speech" indeed
speech was free only to the Radical
prosecutors of Democrats, as the
walls and dungeons of Fort Delaware
and Fort Hamilton would attest
could stones speak. The ''free bal
lot" that the Neps' party offered was
only deposited by cultivating the
friendship of those who held bayonets
and were sent to the polls to make
the ballot" anything else than free
as the Democrats well know who
were compelled to pass under or
through them to vote. We warn the
Democrats that this cry for "free
ballot" means free ballot for Radi-
calls only. They will not be deceiv-
by the song of the Siren.

THE THIRD TERM PROGRESS
BLocKED.-It now appears that
Illinois and Indiana both hesitate to
call their State Conventions at the
early date suggested by Cameron
and Conkling. This renders both
these States doubtful as to Grant
and his third term. The politicians
of Illinois doubtless see that the
third term is not half so popular as
it was expected to prove. Should
Illinois, and Indiana both vote
against Grant it is not at all certain
that he can be forced upon the party
for third term. And if he should
be nominated with the present OBJ
jections against a third term, his
candidacy will be one of the most
doubtful that could be made. In
fact he would hardly stand any bet
ter chance for a majority of the
popular vote than Gen. Scott did
in 1852.

PORT TOWNSEND, Nov. 16.-The
schooner General Miller arrived last
night from Sitka, bringing the follow
ing report: On the morning of the
26th October Il violent storm sprung
up, increasing rapidly in intensity
from about ) to II o'clock, when the
barometer fell to twenty-eight twenty.
The Jdmest0iCn parted one of her bow
cables and drifted about two lengths
toward the beach i'm front of the Indian
ranch. The cable attached to the
wharf prevented her drifting ashore.
The schooner general MiUer, of San
Francisco, which had arrived the day
before and anchored Off the Castle
Rock, dragged her anchors rapidly and
was drifting towards the reefs opposite
when Il cable was sent out by Captain
Glass, of the JdmestOUn, and made
fast at the pier and saved her. The
wharf, which has raised from its un
derpinning, was wrecked, the pile 1ri-
yer parted moOrings and was smashed
on the .IapOusky rocks, and many
roofs and fences were demolished on
the shore. Lieut.. Symons, navigat-
ing officer of the JdmesfO1cn calls the
storm a cyclone, and says it took the
same course as the memorable one of
the same day of the month thirteen
wears ago, October 26, 1867. when the
United STATES shin OssiDce was blown

The annual reports of Gems. Pope
and Ord are now made public. Gen.
Pope gives detailed history of the
troubles with Indians in Colorado and
New Mexico, which ne states have
not yet been wholly settled OF the
situation in the country Gen. Pope
says with the present military ar
rangements and the provisions of the
agreement with the ties there will
certainly be no trouble this winter.
He attributes the outbreak of Victoria
to Il determined purpose of the Inte-
rior Department to effect the removal
of his band to san Carlos agency, Ari-
zona, and says: 81 do not know the
reasons for the Interior Department
insisting upon the removal, but GER
tainly they should be cogent to Justify
the great trouble and severe losses oc-
casioncd by the attempt to coerce
removal" One serious trouble with
the Indians has always been in rela-
ton to their food, and Gen. Pope rec
ommends to the Secretary of the In
terror that he forbid Indian agents to
punish or seek to control the actions
of Indians by holding provisions from
them.

present year of the British naval train
ing ship Ahdptd with all on board

believed that the recommendation

ever been found. though rumors to the
contrary have been widely circulated

Prof. Tiernan, geologist and min
eralogist of some pretentions, is in
town looking out, il is said, for invest
mcnts. In conversation with a gem
tlcman some days ago, the Professor
expressed his belief that there were no
deposits Of gold that would pay to
work, on the west side of the Cascade
mountains. This statement does not
quite tally with the letter written last
spring by Mr. r., and extensively cop
led throughout the country, giving Il
rosy account of the Skagit mines.
But we suppose that Notwithstanding
the publication Of the statement that
Il miner found Il ; II nugget of gold in
the bottom of his claim on Rnby creek,
the Professor has changed his views of
II country which he has never seen,
but heard good deal about from re-
turned prOSpectorS. II would be an
interesting leaf in the history of that
cold-blooded swindlc, to know what
recompcnsc the Professor received for
endorsing a country he had never set

a Salmon Nest.

Last summer whilea party of young
gentlemen residing in this city were
having Il good time fishing and hunt
ing along the banks of the Santiam
river, they came upon curiosity Il
short distance above the falls at Wa
terloO, which deserves II description.
At the point alluded to, the river
makes short, sudden bend, and roars
and seethes among the immense rocks
for perhaps an eighth of mile. Here
and there in the rapids are dead, still
pools in which fish innumcrable do
sport. At low-water mark season the
rocks are high and dry, but when the
snow melts, they are covered COM
pletely. While wandering in and out
among these rocks. one of the party
took it into his head to scale the larg-
est, and he did SO with some difficulty.
What was his surprise on reaching
the top to find Il hollow in it twenty
feet in circumference, and perhaps
three feet deep. The hollow had been
filled with water during the last rise,
and strong rs the rays of sun were, it
had not evaporated. Millions upon
millions, of small salmon about the
size of II mans little finger swan in
the pool and, in fact the water was
literally black with them. The old
salmon had probably leaped into the
pool in the springtime and spawned,
and then sprang out again and the re-
ceding water left the nest high and
dry. The boys intend to return next
summer TO see if the young salmon cs-
capped during the frcshct. oregon Cty

\ recent dispatch from Dallas city,
Texas, says that the city was thrown
into Il great excitement on the arrival
of "A squad of forty armed farmers
bringing the body of a dead man, re-
counting the boldest robbery ever en-
acted in this section. Marion john
son. "A planter, was met twelve miles
out by two masked men, knocked
down and robbed. Being overtaken
by party in pursuit, he Joined them.
Five other farmers who had been
robbed Joined in the pursuit. The out
laws were overtaken within three
miles of the city, when general fight
occurred. One robber recognized a
Odum Curley, OF Nashville, Tennessee,
was killed. The other escaped, carry
ing eighteen buckshot in his body.

The following instances of spontan-
eous combustion are reported. They
are worthy of consideration and care
in preventing repetition: In Il carri-
age factory iii Troy, New York, a
drop of linseed oil fell into n paper OF
lampblack and set it on fire. In Lon
don sprinllling of water on lamp
black set ii on fire. \ ease is given
where snow blown upon charcoal
caused it to ignite. \ strong wind
famed the fire and the dwelling was
destroyed. Wood ashes stored in
wooden vessels for years, if opened in
II damp atmosphere will ignite the
vessels. Newly made charcoal if re-
duced to powder will ignite itself. a
fire originated in n grocery store in
New York from IL bar of ordinary
brown soap left lying in IA gunny bag
covering the top of Il wood box.
