POSTAL TELEGRAPH.

The national anti.monopoly league
is endeavoring to bring TO public
notice the importance of establishing
a postal telegraph. This is evident
ly move in the right direction.
The government should not b..
lacking in point Of time or any other
important particular in the speedy
ira nsmission of news. With this
means of conveying the news under
the direct supervision and CONTROL
of the government, the cost can be
placed at such reasonable figures
,ha, every person could afford to
avail themselves of its priv ileges.s
With this state..of affairs every
newspaper in the land could no
doubt afford to take the kilograms
from first hands and give it to their
readers. 1t would have a tendency
to prevent a monopoly of this class
of news by any newspaper OF the
country. Under existing circum'
stances any newspaper which gets
the ascendency in obtaining this
class of news can by this means force
their paper upon great portion ol
the people when they utterly de-
spise its general tenor and editorial
sentiment. Under proper state oi
circumstances this might work nc
public harm. But when this in
por'ant privil' ge and advantage is
placed in the hands of an organ
which has no regard for any steady
or fixed principles, and when its aim
is SIMPLY o desire for dollars and
cents without any regard for the
public good, and when its editorial
department is devoted to promulgat'
ing doctrines no matter how per
mic ious 10 the public good for the
sole purpose Of gaining favor, its
tendency is untold harm. Tha,
such a state of affairs are likely to
exist under such circumstances the
people of Oreso can readily testify.
1t the people ever expect to be
freed from the e1ils which this sys.
tenn is like to produce and which is
doing in Oregon to-day and for other
reasons, they should peremptorily
demand that a postal telegraph be
established. When this change is
brought about the people can pat
ronize such papers as they may deem
possessed OF editorial merit and o
steady advocacy of fixed and deter
Eined principle. They will then no
longer find it essential to conclude
that 1t is absolutely necessary for
them to pa,ronize paper which they
edi,orially despise, in order to obtain
the telegraphic news.

PGLICTICS IN THE S0UTE..

Among the indications of the teLd-
ency OF class of Democrats in the
South to favor some movement in
:heiY States similar to the Malone
movement in Virginia are the recent
ly published views of the Hon. E.. j.
Ellis, member of the. House from
Louisiana. MIR. Ellis has been, it is
said, Bourbon OF the Boutbons, and
he represents a district in which are
many of the wealthiest and most in.
fiuential members of the party in his
State. The district includes nine
wards of New Orleans and tour ad-
joining parishes. Mr.. Ellis served in
the Confederate army through the
war. In the course OF long inter-
view and published in New Orleans,
which has awakened some interest in
this city, he is reported as having
said: "The Democratic party is dy-
ing naturally Of timidity and inaction.
1t is without men or measures. II is
not agreed on any policy. In the
States o! the South it Is losing ground.
Virginia is gone. There are grave
fears for other States. It is disrupted
and broken into divisions and frac-
tions in nearly every Southern State.
You know it's condition here. 1t is
past praying for, and If the South
breaks up the Democratic party is
thing of the past. In this State and
city for six or eight years past any
body without morals, bra ms, or priL-
ciples could be elected, providing he
could trick himself into Democratic
nomination, and all because of ty-
rannical public opinion that almost
ostracized man who avowed himself
a Republican" Mr.. Ellis seems to
expect that upon the ruins of the two
existing parties in the South two
other parties will arise hich will be
on their good behavior and which
will haye respect for each other.

GIANT IS. BLAINE.

1t is very evident that the Grant.
Conkling faction are as busy as bees
eadeavoring to work up public feel
ing against the Hon. Jas. G. Blaine.
In intellectual capacity and :rue
craftsmanship Mr.. Blaine may very
appropriately be compared to them
III the same proportion as "moun-
tain to mole hill," yet they can
pursue him and bark and snarl al
him assuming as much self import
ance and appearing more ridiculous
10 the country than a small sized
poodle would after an over grown
Newfoundland. Baine's efforts has
always been put forth with desire
so do the best service TO his country
and 20 his fellow man, whilo Mr..
Grant ever since the war has had a
great opinion of himself, and a great
desire that he should be served first
and foremost. His followers also ap-
pear to be class Of men who want
everything and let the de-iI take
the country. If Mr.. Grart could
succeed in making the country believe
that he Is OF sufficient Importance SO
that he could get some of his friends
to m 'nipulate bill through Congress
glving him pension equal or greater
than the Presidents salary, he and
the Star route manipulators, together
with Satan, would be about ready to
take in the q. s., and by combining
with the whisky manipulators Of a
few years ago, Grant might be able
to build his Mexican railroad clear
down to where the climate gets suf1-
ciently warm to feel natural to any OF
his comrades.
This element pursued the late Pres
dent james a. Garfield to his grave,
and no doubt hir. Grant and his fol-
lowers have hole already dug Which
they would ike to christen he "last
resting place OF the late James G..
Blaine"

NEW JUDGE TO BE APPOINTED.

Judge Watson having lately been
appointed as United States District
Attorney for the district of Oregon.
in order to accept that position makes
it necessary for him to resign hif
Office of Judge of the Second Judicial
District of this State. 1t then de-
wolves upon the Governor to appoint
a iudge to fill the vancy until the
next regular election. Owing to the
fact that the people of this district
elected a Republican for that posi-
tion in the person OF Judge Watson,
it would seem that If the will of the
good people are 10 be observed in
this matter, that Governor Thayer
shonld appoint a Republican to fill
the vacancy. But the old time hon.
ored Democratic principle that ito
the victors belong the spoils," will
most assuredIy require that Demo
erat he appointed.
1t will hardly be justifable to sup
pose that the Governor will deviate
from this long established rule in thi,
instance in order 10 follow the result
indicated last election by the votes OF
the people.
The Democratic aspirants for this
posl,io,., as we learn. are John Bur-
uett OF This place, NJ. Walton of
Lane County, and Mr. Hazard OF
Coos County.
We confess tIat of Mr.. Walton's
abilities as jurist We have but little
knowledge, but We surely think that
the place could be supplied with more
suitable material. As TO Our Demo
cratic friend from Coos, he is a kindly
and avery sociably turned gentlemen,
yet we would rob he inclined to haz-
ard too muca the honors Of the bench.
We naturally have a preference for
home talent, and Judge Burnett be.
ing our neigh Dor We most assuredly
think him the most fitting for the po-
silion, if a Democrat is to be AZ
pointed.
1t is very doubtful whether politi-
cal considerations should in any way
interfere in appointing to judicial
position. Where the peoples life and
liberty are at stake the person to
,presiie raTer the tribunal which are TO
decide these rights, should be Sc
Jected tor their special qualifications
for the. position rather than on &C
count of their devotions TO politics.
1t will 10 douht. however, be some
what deubtfn, whether the position
will CT CAR be filed at present with
any one whois likely to give such gen.
eral satisfaction as did Judge Wat

Amongthe most peculiar and least known
fish of Nevada is the couewee, native of
and found only in Pyramid and Winnie
mucca lakes. One of the most striking
peculiarities is name extending along
the back from head to tail which renders
the creature so unsghtly that it is always
sheared by the fisherman before being
sent to market. They swim at the
surface of the water, and in the early days
assembled the river in immense schools that
filled the river from bank to bank. They
make n great noise when thus going up the
river and can be heard at u considerable
distance from the stream. In the spring of
1869, at the time OF the Indian war, they
stampeded the horses of company of sol
diers camped on the bank of the stream
and came near causing a panic, it being
