A Revelation Of Southern Democratic
POLITICAL NIethOda.

A correspondent Of leading South Caro-
lima Bourbon organ, whose letter is printed
conspicuously and inlargo type abuses round
ly the Democratic legislature for passing
registration law which says that the ballots
for congressman shall be cast in q separate
box Tho provision he denounces rs folly,
cowardico and treason to the Democratic par
ty." And why Because il stands in the
way Of an honest voter Oh, no. Because IL
stands in the way of fraud. He says the
"most ignorant voter would have no trouble"
in finding the congressional box and getting
his ticket into il, where il would have to be
counted, and tho dreadful result would be
that the Democrats would lose nearly every
congressional district in the state. He dwells
upon this appalling prospect with frankness
of expression simply astounding TN no
event" he declares ''should South Carolina
abandon more than one district to the ne
groes." But unless there is something done
about this "disgracofup law, they are likely
to get good many more than that, for he
notices that "every negro in South Carolina
is registering" =" animated undoubtedly by the
fiendsh purpose of getting his ticket into the
right box, and having 1t counted. This viz
tuous and indignant Bourbon has a pious
hope that this great danger may be averted.
He says the only remedy is to have the legis-
lature correct the bill by abolishing the sep
arate box. He recalls the fact that special
session is about to be held, and rolling up his
eyes oxcaims: "It would seem as if mer-
ciful Providence had imposed the extra ses-
sion to save the state from foul stigma"
The letter which contains this astonishing
compound of immortality and blasphemy is
called by the leading Democratic newspaper
of the state 'strong and straightforward, "
and attention is called to the importance
and urgency of the views" which the cores
pondent submits Comment would be super
fuous upon a revelation like this.

Visiting the Schools of West Dummer-
atOn.


The annual visit to the summer schools in
West Dnmmerston was made on June II, one
of those perfect days of the season, when ma
ture is in her loveliest mood and in the high
tide of the year. We invited friend TO en-
Joy the ride over those wonderful hills with
us, thinking he might be interested not only
in visiting the schools where were opening
gems of budding youth, but in viewing ma
ture's work Of development in vegetable life
as seen in the hills and valleys. AS we climb
ed Wickopee-a good half of steep hill
we greatly enjoyed the fine prospect in spite
of the difficult ascent. Some idea of Wicko-
PEGS steepness may be obtained from the fact
that few years since two ladies' of our ac-
quaintnnce, not daring TO ride down the hill,
both got out of the wagon, and one led the
horse by the head, while the other, a large
woman, went behind and held the wagon TO
keep it from tipping forward on the horse.
On reaching the top of the hill we came in
sight of q wcll-managed farm, which rewards
the tiller each year with abundant crops of
hay and grain. The neat white house and its
surrounding farm-buildings, kept in good re-
pair, the well-trimmed thrifty-looking or
chard, the good fences and promising fields
of growing crops, all indicated prosperity.
The owner, Mr.. Orrin l.. Bennett who is al
most 80 years of age, was at work in the corn
field. He informed us that he was in good
health, and that he was born and had always
lived on this farm, which his father, Lieut..
Stephen Bennett, cleared and settled nearly
100 years ago. He lives with his son, Geo.
Il, Bennett who has the care and manage
ment of tho place. Farther west ID the farm
OF John Chamberlain, once owned by Daniel
Goss. John Butterfeld has fine farm, from
which he gets good living, as we can affirm
| from the good dinners We have eaten at his
house. Near by is the school house, and here
on this occasion we found nine bright, inter
esting pupils under the management of a
young teacher making her first attempt at in
teach we'll The school.room was neat and
attractive, though not modern in style. The
school near Marlboro pond is also prosperous,
with seven pupils and an experienced and sue
cessful teacher. The school in the HeTrick
district was not in session as we expected, but
begins later in the season. d. L. NJ

A successfuI CORee-HOuse EXperi-
ment.

About four months ago a coffee-house was
established at Providence by the Womans
Christian Temperance Union Of that city. A
room was secured and a start was made with
q capital Of S115. The profits were calculat-
ed upon basis to make the institution self
sustaining, one cent of profit only being made
on breakfasts and suppers and nothing at all
on dinners. Ton cents each is the price for
meals, and though there is no display Of fine
table linen and cutlery, the utmost cleanliness
and neatness is observed and hearty satisfy
ing meals are furnished. large number of
meals are given free to poor persons, but the
tables are generally well filed with paying
guests. So much for the meals provided. In
the matter of drinks this coffee-house has
been even more successful. The working
men, instead of sending their pals and pitch
ers and bottles to the rum shops and beer sa-
looms, are profting by the opportunity to get
better drink at less cost. This coffee-house,
in a single day. has supplied eighty-nine
quarts Of coffee and sixty quarts of tea, which
shows that good deal of bad liquor is being
displaced by better beverages. Many men
acknowledge that the ooffee-house has led
them, without solicitation, to give up intoxi-
eating drinks and TO save their money for bet
ter uses, and their families feel the benefit in
tables better provided Among the results
are twelve drunkards reclaimed, their homes
made bright and cheerful and the demon of
strong drink barred out, as they hope, for
ever The work has been so prosperous and
satisfactory that funds are TO be raised for an
other coffee-house, and it is designed eventu-
ally to have one in each ward of the city.
Such an enterprise tells its own story and is
its own argument. 1t requires work and at
tention, but it is labor well laid out bringing
immediate practical results which advertise
| themselves.

The Finding and Burial OF the Bodies
Of De Long and INIs Grew.

The particulars Of the finding of the dead
bodies Of Lieut.. DeLong and his party, of the
jeanette, have reached the New York Herald
through despatch from its correspondent,
dated Lena Delta April -, 1882. The de-
spatch says that Melville found the bodies on
March 23. They were in two places, 800 and
1000 yards from the wreck Of the scow. Af-
ter finding the wreck, Melvilles party follow
ed along the river bank until they came upon
a rifle barrel hung on four sticks. They set
the natives digging on each side OF the sticks,
and soon found two bodies under eight feet
Of snow. While these men were digging to-
ward the east, Melville went on along the
bank, 20 feet above the river, to find place
TO take bearings. He then saw a camp kettle
and the remains Of fire about 1000 yards
from the tent, and, approaching, nearly STUN
bled upon De Longs hand sticking up through
the snow about 80 feet from the edge of the
bank. Here, under about q foot of snow,
they found the bodies of De Long and Amber
about three feet apart, and All Sam lying at
their feet, all partially covered by pieces of
tent and blanket All the others, except AL
exia they found in the place, where the tent
was pitched. None Of the dead wore boots ;
their feet were covered with rags, tied on.
In the pockets of oil were pieces of burnt
skin and of the clothing they had been eat
ing. The hands of all were more or less burn
ed, and it looked as If when dying they had
crawled into the fire, Boyd lying over tho
fire and his clothing being burned through to
the skin, which was not burned. Collins 3
face was covered with a cloth. The bodies
were carried to the top of a hill 800 feet high,
and there inferred in mausoleum built Of
wood from the scow. The mausoleum was
covered with stones and is to be sodded in the
spring

Missouri banishes oleomargarine from her
borders. The legislature passed bill forbid
ding the sale or manufacture in the state OF
any imitation of butter, no matter whether
represented to be genuine or not. The oleo-
margarine interest made desperate hight in
a test case, carrying 1t TO the court Of appeals
on the question of the laws validity. The
decision is that the law is constitutional, and
several factories at st. Louis will have TO cease
the manufacture of the detestable compound.

The Portland Standard is sorely af-
Hicted over the result of the Senatorial
contest. From the wall that paper
sends up one would infer that its edit
or was the chief mourner at the flu

behalf of the five Democrats who voted
steadily for the aforesaid nominee, or
in behalf of Parker and Veatch, who
voted with the five on the last ballot,
does not appear; be that as it may, the

"BY THEIR WORKS SHALL YE KNOW
THEM"

The imbecility of the last Legisla-
ture of Oregon as body polite, is
made manifest by their acts of omis-
sion and commission. OF the very few
popular and necessary laws which were
not smothered and lost sight of through
the action of the designing demagogues
| who infested that body, the hand of
the knave or fool is plainly visible in
the numerous amendments with which
each bill that has become a law has
been burdened before receiving the
Legislative sanction. We have not
had an opportunity of reading all the
bills which have become laws, as they
finally passed, but those which, we
have examined show an undiscuised
streak of imbecility. As sample of
the craftsmanship which pervaded that
body, is law entitled an ssAct for the
more efectual prevention Of cruelty to
animals, for which the author of the
bill should have been awarded a leath-
er medal. It is very lengthy, being
divided into nine sections, with streak
of insanity, in which the crank is
plainly visible, running through all it's
provisions. AS sample of its cranki-
ness and for information to our readers
we append the first section of the bill,
and was it not for it's extreme length,
would publish it ALL It would then
be seen from its provisions that it
should more properly be entitled "An
act to keep up disturbances in neigh
borhood:"
SECTION l. Whoever overdrives, or over
loads, drives when overloaded, overworks.
tortures, torments, deprives of necessary
sustenance, cruelty beats, mutilates or cru
ely kills, or causes or procures to be so over
driven or overloaded, driven when over

deprived of necessary sustenance cruelty
beaten, mutilated or cruelty killed any ami
NAL; and whoever having the charge of or
custody of any animal, either as owner or

ished by imprisonment in the county Jail not
exceeding sixty days, or by fine not exceed

UNITED STATES SENATOR.

J. N. Dolph, recently elected United
States Senator by the Oregon Legisla-
ture at the final moment of adjourn
ment, is forty-sevsn years of age, of tall
and commanding presence, lawyer by
profession, and in politics of tie Stal-
wart wing of the Republican party.
He is the leading attorney for most of
the monopolies which have their place
of business in Portland, and large
shareholder IN many of the credit mo-
bilier affairs which have been organized
and incorporated for the purposes of
speculating in stockjobbing enter
prises.
He Is lawyer of no mean acquire
ments, of great industry and extraordi-
nary financial ability. He came to
Portland during the late civil war, and
since that time, by shrewd investments
has accumulated a large amount of
wealth, most of which he has invested
in city property in Portland and rail
road and navigation stocks, which CEN
ter in that city.
Whilst he is equally as near to
Willard as Mitchell, being also an at
tOrney for the companies of which Vi
lard is the head, and former law
partner of Mitchell, he is more directly
interested, being an officer of and
shareholder in these corporations. As
such he is not suitable or fit person
to represent the great agricultural in
terests of Oregon. Whether he will
put aside selfish interests and rise to
the broad and dignifed position of a
statesman and devote his time and en-
ergy to the interest of the State. Willie
holding the position of Senator, rather
than She mere advocate Of the various
corporate monOpolies iii which he is in
terested; whether he will lay aside his
preference for the city of Portland and
act equally just towards other por-
tions of the State, would be hazardous
to predict. He is preeminently the SUI
pericr of Mitche II lin ability, dignity
and integrity.
The Republican party were fortun-
ate as a party in making the selection
that they did, rather than adjourning
without an election, for the people of
the State are tired of the farce which
the Republican majority have made of
legislation during this session, and it
will be a long time before they will
again have it in their power to obstruct
needed legislation or elect United
States Senator.
The final vote for United States SEN
ator stood: Dolph, 81; Bonham, 26;
MITCHELL Long, Curtis, Gates, Gault,
siglin, Veatch, 6; Boise, 8; Shattuck,
l. This must indeed have been try
ing moment for the deserters who had
left the Democratic ranks to vote for
Mitchell, standing there alone, with the
brand of shame upon their fOreheads
