CAPT. MULLAN'S CLAIM.

EDITOR CAPITAL JOURNAL: It
seems that the greed of "Capt." John
Mullan can never be satisfied, for to
my certain knowledge he has been
before the Oregon Legislature many
times with bills for services rendered
that are not by any means small,
and no one knows who employed
him as our claim agent. He pre-
sents a claim for services to the pres
ent Legislature of several thousand
dollars. The Pacific Rural Press
has the following about this leech of
the public crib: Resisting Robbery
We hope every one Of our patrons
will read if they have not yet read,
that part of Gov. Waterman mes
sage, in which he speaks of Capt.
John Mullan's appointments. The
impudent effrontery of such persist
ent efforts to capture, and convert
to his own use, three-quarters Of Il
million Of the states money is
ualled only by the sturdy fidelity
of California's chief magistrate in
standing off the raider"

WHAT Is TIME AND WHAT MAY BE

What are n thousand years To
the man Of fifty they are but twen-
ty times more than his own brief
span, and only eight or nine-tenths
more than the littlelife of our Repub-
lie. Yet mans history on earth
goes back no longer than three or
four thousand years. Three thous-
and years takes us back to eleven
hundred b. G. when Egypt was in
her glory and Greece a land of saw
qgery. Five hundred years later
find her listening to Herodotus read
ing his history. A few years later
and Alexander the Great had blaz-
ed meteor-like through the dark
ness Of history. Pass on but a few
years more and Rome began to be
heard of. But all her grandeur is
comprised within the few years from
the end Of Carthage to the reign of
Constantine the Great-only a few
hundred years. Soon after came the
invasion of the savages and Rome's
downfall, when night and darkness
settled over all the world, save II
few towns of Italy and Asia Minor.
A thousand years of darkness and
sleep, brief and eventless as night
of our own sleep Then Europe be-
gan to awake. A new civilization
based on ideas of Mongol nomads
who had migrated toward western
Europe-ideas of domestic and polit-
ical life-the ideas of Buddha and of
Christ as to the brotherhood and
equally of mankind.
Yet, during all these times, the
earth has drunk the blood of mil
lions by war. War has ragged lnces-
sanity. Through what awful scenes
has society emerged! 'Tis only
within century that the new en-
lightenment has got foothold.
Till of late the civilized man was
hardly match against the savage
and he was obliged to occupy
islands or peniusulas and walled
towns. And now civilization begins
To get possession of the earth. That
little seed that developed amid
Asian deserts and German wilds is
spreading. Its nature differs en-
tirely from the old civilization. 1t
abhors slavery, respects woman and
proclaims the equality of all. In
one respect it differs from the past
namely, in its use of labor saving
means. And now by means of the
general diffusion of knowledge moth
ing is ever lost, everything is im-
proved upon and all things seem
possible, But may it not be that
the way is not quite 50 clear and
peaceful rs IL seems? Invention is
giving to individuals mighty powers
of destruction aud we have merely
entered upon that field of discovery
in destructive methods. AS form
erly the savages of the wilds COM
bined TO destroy the elete and
corrupt societies Of civilization, will
the outcasts and dlsinherited, whom
society is nourishing in her own
bosom, combine again TO destroy eX-
listing states? A few desperate and
able men could destroy vast popu-
lations in the twinklng of an eye.
Nothing but sufficient motive is
lacking, Despotic methods can but
increase the rage and hatred of
those against whom they are used.
Severity begets tierccness. Nothing
but strict justice administered in "a
spirit Of love and equality can pre-
vent awful conVulsions in the future.

Prof Langston's Visit to the President

Prof Langstons Visit to the President
The President hae not yet heard The last
of the Virginia compromise. Yesterday he
received a call from Prof. John NJ. LaDgs-
ton, the colored republican leader, who took
occasion to explain the status OF the case
from his standpoint. This ia the first oppor-
tunity Prof Langston has had to talk with the
President since the compromise was effected
and he desired that hid position should be
thoroughly understood. He informed the
President that be ia wiling to go into the
coming fight 10 Virginia and do ell in hls
power to uphold tho republican standard.
He SAWS he cannot forget that Gen. Malone
and his henchmen did all they could to de-
feat him for Congress in the Petersburg dis
trict, and he does rot propose to do any
thing that will operate against the probable
success OF the party. He does not think 1t
advisable to place Malone at the head of
the State ticket, because it le believed that
the latter has 30 many personal enc.
mics throughout the State that he could
hardly be expected 10 succeed. Profess
sor Langston says he proposes to accept
the terms of the compromise in good faith,
but he sincerely hopes the Norfolk conVen-
ton will select State ticket that Will call
forth the united and harmonious support OF
the party. He would suggest man who
can take liberal view of the colored ques-
ton, who believes in republican principles
30 far as the tariff question Is concerned,
and one who will Loyalty support the Blair
or similar educational measure. he does
not think 1t would be we'll to put too much
ex Confederate material on the ticket, be.
cause he says it is generally conceded that
personal advancement has more TO do With
the conversion of ex Confederates to the re-
publican cause than true party principles.
Ia his opinion the democrats will nominate
a gentleman who can command the unanl-
NOUS snpport and respect of his party, and
under the circumstances it will heavily
handicap the republicans should they place
in nomination any one but man who
would also command popular confidence
and respect. The candidates of both parties
should be above reproach, and only their
political differences should be open to criti-
cism. He saws there are many gentlemen
among the Virginia republicans who eau
acceptably fill the bill, and be hopes the
nominating convention will give such men
the preference when the slate is made up.
Prof. Langston does not hesta to cay that
Lamb of Norfolk. would
make an admirable gubernatorial candidate
and John 8. Wise would make strong race
for the attorney .generslship. These views
he presented to the President with all the
vigor and emphasis of which he is capable.
