ration for the man who does right

make less money by it. Some few men
say he was fool or lunatic MOTTO
make the most of his advantage, right
or wrong;'but the heart of many is laval
to rectitude. We look and admire, and
praise. We cannot help It. He who
in selfish, covetous age, when all men
are fighting and scrambling for mon
ey, stands up strong in his integrity,
and modestly does the thing-aot tn at
is expected, not that is customary. not
that is as Others do, or, as many preach
but does the thing which is right
such man is worthy of imitation

General Banks, formerly Speaker Of the House
of Representatives, and latterly the hero of the
Red River disaster and its attending cotton spec
ulatiOn8, has written long letter in which he
declares in favor of extending the right of suf-
frage to Americans of African descent Colfax.
the present Speaker, is understood to favor the
same thing, and the members of the lower House
who voted him the Speakership, knowing him
to be sound on negro suffrage, are also in favor
of it, and we might say the people, who sent
those men to Congress, are in favor of it; but we
don't say it, for the people were deceived on this
point. No candidate for Congress, ever yet
took his stand upon the stump, before the peo-
pie, proclaiming negro suffrage principles; and
for the simple reason that to advocate such doc
trines was to face positive and overwhelming
defeat. And yet both Houses of Congress are
teeming with members holding those views, and
even The Cabinet ITSELF is half black, with the
other half tinctured or half colored. There is
no way to account for the sooty-colored Congress
and Cabinet but by acknowledging the fact that
the people were deceived into voting for men of
positive negro suffrage notwithstanding no
idea that they were hosting men to power who
differed from them SO widely on vital que8-
ton.

people in this Territory. They do not re-

the manners and customs Of their native

BOUND 70 MAKE IT PAY.-The State Printer,
and the proprietor of the Oregoaian, has handed
in little bill of several thousand dollars for
printing which has never been delivered to the
State; and among other items, he charges in
the account the Internal Revenue tax which he
is compelled to pay the United States on the
work done for the State of Oregon-or, in other
words, he is endeavoring to make the State pay
his taxes for this year. It is good idea if it
would only work; but Secretary May "can't see
it in that light" The Printer evidently thinks
that if he can print the Laws, hecankeep them

The Salt Lake Telegraph announces the arri-

his way to Montana, as Secretary of the Terri
tory. The Telegraph SAYS of him:


''The general looks hale and hearty, and is in
the bloom of manhood. He is a thorough Irish
gentleman of manly instincts, a great traveller
and an eminent scholar. Before the war we
personally knew the general as an editor and
writer, and are pleased to meet him again in the
civil walks of life. We expect Montana to find
in the General a thorough politician of some

The Pine Tree Tar Cordial gives instanta-
neous relief in cases of Asthma and Whoopipg
Cough. It often cures whooping before it runs
half its course as it acts at once on the phlegm
and mucus and expels them from the throat
and the sufferer is relieved. In case of Asthma,
use Dr. Wishart's Dyspepsia Pills with the Cor
dial, as they have never been known to fail to
cure that disease.

Generals arm out of joint, BY seizing his hand
with vice-like grasp and twisting it around
In painful manner.


similar attempt to injure the General was
made at the Faneuil Hall reception, in this
city, on Monday. While the throng of ladies'
and gentlemen were paying their personal re.
spects to the distinguished hero, an individual
approached him and seized his hand in the
same manner that it was grasped in New
York, attempting to give i . sudden twist,
which the General succeeded In preventing
only by forcibly Withdrawing It


One of the Aldermen who witnessed the
operation seized the man by the neck, but the
rascal escaped from him, and was quickly lost
in the crowd which was hurrying past. There
Is no doubt but that it was . deliberate attempt
to infict personal injury upon the General,

ADVICE To YoUNo MEN,-Get mar,
ried, young man, if you have arrived at
the right point of life for it; let every
consideration give way to that of getting
married.


A good wife is tho most faithful and
constant companion you can possibly have
by your side while performing the jour
ney of life. She can sweeten your sour
moments as well as your tea and coffee ;
and, instead OF sowing weeds of sorrow in
your path, she will plant happiness in
your bosom. When woman loves, she
loves with double distilled devotedness
and when she hates, it is on the high pres
suro principle - Her love is as deep as the
ocean, and strong as a hsmpen halter
