Objection first, ''The church is not necessity -
We respectfully say that it is Il necessity; a real

country. The following facts have brought us Ia
tins conclusion.

and, or at best twelve hundred leaving about fifteen
hundred out of doors. Now, if the Gosncl is n
necessity TO this fifteen hundred then new church
IS a necessity. Not only this, but the membership
OF the NJ L" church is too large; they are in each

SO large that 1t is unruly. It, like the membership,
needs dividing and urging ON TO duty by an active
and vigorous rival.

any one wants to prove it, let them try. They will
win their success and prove the truth-hat it is the

In less than two weeks the voters of Trinity
county will express at the ballot box their choice
for the various county officers. We have no
doubt of the election of the entire Republican
ticket, and seriously believe that well-nformed
Democrats count upon nothing as certain, but
may possibly secure the election of one or two
OF their candidates. The truth is, and this fact
must and will have great weight with the peo-
pie, there is really good ground of oppo-
sition to the Republican nominees, except for
partisan reasons. fair share of those on the
ticket have already been tested in an official ca
pacity, AID we have yet to hear of any opposi-
tion being made to any of them because of in
competency or kindred disqualifications Tax
payers will remember, too that il has been
the control of the present dominant party that
the county finances have been steadily but
surely brought to their present satisfactory con-
diton and redeemed from almost total bank
ruptcy. Under these circumstances, there is
nothing to lead Republicans from the support
OF their nominees, and we rejoice to be able to
state as positive fact that the party was never
more unanimous and decided in behalf of their
ticket than they are in this canvass. Our ad-
vices from all parts of the county are of the
most encouraging character. Every attempt on
the part of the Democracy to foment discord in
the Republican ranks has utterly failed, while
on the other hand, numbers of the most sound
and reliable members of the Democratic party
upon purely political questions, are disposed to
rise above petty partisan prejudices, and as
good citizens having solely in view the interests
OF the county, intend voting for the best men,
no matter upon which ticket they may be found
Every thing considered Republicans may rest
assured that nothing is needed but earnest, WELL
directed effort to insure success.

PoLIrICAL.-The Yreka Journal of the 18th

bMATILLA COUNTY SEAT.-But few seem to
understand the controversy in regard to the
county seat question Of Umatilla county. Some
imagine that the question is one of political
nature. Nothing can be farther from the truth.
The Legislature Of Oregon, at the last session,
passed a law submitting the relocation of the
county seat to the qualified voters of Umatilla
county at the November election, democrats and
republicans voted for and against the removal,
which shows that the question of removal was
not political one. Besides, the majority in
favor of removal did not amount to more than
sixty, while tie democratic majority in the
county is nearly three times that number. The
law provided, in case majority were in favor of
removal, that the county court should appoint
three competent persons to locate the site for
the public buildings and to give a name to such
location. This was all done, in strict conform
ity with the law. The old buildings were to be
used until new buildings could be erected. The
new Court House, although unfinished, is
sufficiently so for use, and has, up to this time,
cost the county not one farthing, having been
tax payers of the county will only be the pitful
sum requisite to pay for the transportation OF
the county records to the new county seat. The
great expense to the county, therefore, on this
question exists only in imagination.

How wonderfully Tennessee has quieted

'Parson" Brownlow's feats of ofirepressible and
fantastic malignity. His transfer from the

self, incapable of committing public outrage,
and his absence is for Tennessee welcome
relief, and amounts to great positive bles-
sing '.Brownlow," says the New York
Times, '.had remarkable ability for keep
ing himself in hot water, and for keeping in
hot water everybody else with whom he had
anything to do and he managed to keep the
State of Tennessee in hot water during the
entire term of his governorship. These red
hot politicians are wretched hands at civil ad-
ministration." This is mild way of putting
the effect of tho diabolical devices
which distinguished the Brownlow reg
ime in Tennessee. 1t is not the
'.red hot politicians" alone who have





up for these four years to o condition Of
miserable disquiet. Cold-blooded villainy
has had more to do than red hot politics with
organizing the system which has stided the
spontaneous growth Of peace and excluded
the guarantees of tranquility and good order.
The whole South would have quieted down
long since had not the infiction upon it of
this devilish element been ingeniously pro-
vided for in all the legislation designed to
carry out the so-called reconstruction policy
of the dominant party. "Red hot poll
icians" of no denomination or persuasion
could have seriously retarded such consum-
nation had that pervading mischief been out
of the way. If all its personal embodiments
and instrumentalities should only be alb
sorbed into the Senate as Brownlow has been,
the event would be greatly tranquilizing and
salutary, though the malign legislation which
gave them their potency were to continue the
same. Bad men, by perversion, may make
even good laws bitter; and without such exc
cutioners, even bad laws may become in
measure tolerable.

Guilty in making firm, eWeet tasted
rich butter, an article which is pleas
ant to every palate but is so seldom
found In market. They are rules Civ
EN- by an old butter maker, through
the columns of the Cultivator. They
are worth studying:


For making good butter, the first
thing is to have good sweet pasture,
free from weeds or any growth that
will give bad taste TO the milk.
Good upland grass is better than
coarse grass growing on wet places
Some dairymen think that lined is
better than unlimed land, but this is
matter of minor Importance. 9th
ers regard the practice of sowing
plaster in spring, and repeating it
early in autumn, rs tending to swee-
ten grass.


Good, well selected cows are the
next requisite.


Perfect cleanliness, from begin
ming to end, is indispensable-th
most SO, perhaps, of any one thing.
No dirt or dust must drop into the
milk, for which reason the animals
should have clean place To lie on,
and never be allowed, to stand III mud
or manure; vessels all thoroughly
washed-scald whenever necessary
to preserve perfect weetness-includ-
ing pals, pans, pots, churns, work
ers, tups or tirkins. They must be
first washed clean with cold water
for if hot water is used first, it will
curdle the milk in the cracks or cor
ners, and prevent its washing out.


n perfect y pure air is of great inn
portance. Bad odors will taint but
ter. The dairy house should there
fore be far awsy from manure yards
and everything else OF the kind.
Keep tobacco smoke Off the premi-
ses.


Let the butter be we'll worked, so
as to press out all the buttermilk. 1t
Is impossible to have a good article
if this is not done. Perhaps this IS
the most common cause of failure.
much milk is left in, it soon for-
ments and makes rancid and worth
less butter.


In laying down for winter, use
a1etU firkins-never use them a second
time; and pots or jars must not be
used, if they have ever had butter in
them, or pickles or anything else
that will taint them the taint can
never be wholly removed.


The best dairy salt is important
Butter in hot weather must be COW
