Iouitic Item. .....We aro liifurinoi (nml'tlio testimony Is un impeachable) that Superintendent If ale of Wash ington Territory, refused to let the contract for furnishing boef to the Lapwai reserve Indians, during; the pendency of the late council, to a gen tltman who offered to furnish it at the Lowiston market price 12 cent por pound and after ward) ajAve the contract to one of his frlunJj at twenty-three cents por pound. In order to effort this arrangement, he advertise J in the Olympla Standard for proposals, neglecting to advertise either in the Walla Walla or Lewiston paper. The advertisement in the Standard, of course, was not intended to reach Lewiston in time for parties there to got their bid) in, and accordingly it did not. The earliest intimation had of the proposals was only five days prior to the opening of bids at Olympla and at a season of the year when it was impossible to get to Olympla by even express riding within five days. The Indians were furnished beef at 23centspcrpound,shanks and necks included, while the whites bought it in Lewiston, shanks and necks excluded, for 12 cents. The same game was played with flour. While it could be bought at Lewiston for 8 cents per pound, Hale's friends were allowed to furnish it at 23 cents, and most probably with an article purchased no farther away than Lewiston at 8 cents. These prices giveu were all greenback rates, so that it can not be said in excuse that Hale was obliged to pay more than the market price in consequenco of paying in government currency. The secret of these transactions Is tist Windsor who has the beef contract is a' rela tlve of Hale's (so we are informed) and Ilays who has the Hour contract, is onoof Hule's bonds. men. The impression prevails quite generally that Hale was directly or indirectly interested in tlio profits of these contracts, and it is not hesi tated to say in Lewiston thut the government was swindled unmercifully. The treaty with the , Indians heretofore existing, provided that the government should build for their use a saw-mill, which was accordingly done. By the laws, the lumber manufactured at this mill could only be used for the reservation and for the benefit of the Indians. But contrary to this, lumber has been onstantlv taken to Lewiston and sold on private speculation, and that kind of trade is said to be still going on. If Halo is not interested in this speculation why does lie not discharge the offend ing employes instantly as he should do t If Hale himself is not soon discharged, it will not be for want of good reasons. The Indians understood the violation of the law and frequently protested against it but to no avail. There can be no doubt that the dishonesty and bad faith displayed in those transactions, made the Indians suspicious and added materially to the difficulty and expense of the late treaty. ....Superintendent A. C. Daniels has just con cluded a series if visits to the schools of this county. He reports thirty-six districts and five other schools total, forty-one. These schools employ forty-seven teachers, twenty-eight males and nineteen females. Whole number of pupils attending district schools, 1209 ; In other schools, 263; total 1472. This inn much larger attend' ance than ever reported before, being about forty five per cent, of all persons between the ages of four and twenty years. Mr. Daniels tliluks the schools are mostly supplied with competent teachers, and are in a prosperous condition ....A letter in the Ortgonian fromOlympia has the following: "On the last trip up of the Eliza Anderson, at Port Angclos, Capt. Finch received orders .from Victor Smith that no more stock could be transported north of the lino. So, by the next breeze that sweeps from the north you may expect to hear fierce bowlings from the people in this section. Where this decree comes from, is not known. Some ssy that it is a late dispatch from headquarters ; others, that Victor is putting an old law into force. Whatever the cause, it is DtittiDor a damper on the Sound trade. There are several hundred head of beef cattle in Thurston and Pierce counties contracted for and awaiting shipment to Victoria. The English navy and military posts, as well as the people, hare all to be supplied with American beef. I hope, fur the credit of the government, that this miserable ap pointee is not doing this out of revenge. There is little love lost between him and the people of this whole country, either American or English. On his last trip to San Francisco, he was arrest ed at Esquimault for debt, and had no easy time in getting away.' That may not have eased his mind or Increased his love for the human family in general. Very likely not." The Ortgonian slys t " Tile order referred to above, very likely comes under a general one re cently issued from the War Department forbid ding the transportation of horses and cattle, un der the impression, that all stock of this kind would be needed in our own country for the army and navy. If such is the fact, it will probably be revoked, as for as this coast is concerned, as it certainly ought to be." ....It will be recollected that John McBride wrote to Billy-goat, his mean brother in-law, that he had got a salary of $1500 per annum allowed for depnif colltttor at Astoria; the same letter announced his aud Billy-goat's intention of get ting the Umpqna collcctorship abolished, as Dr. Drew (E. P.) was not abolitionist. In a recent number of Billy-goat's paper he publishes the following interesting table : Monlklf Rretiptt at Ik Cuttom Wo (it Attoria, jrom jnne 10, aoui, iw ab w, i. 1801.

And it will be remembered also, that Billy and his brother John were engaged in getting the former's salary and stealings paid in coin ; and at the same time every number of the Billfgoat advocated the payment of the salaries of our Bute Judges and other vfBoere, sera their pay, in greenback). The Astoria custom house ought to be abo'isbeJ, and Billy set to teaching the government niggera to sing "Glory, Hallelujah !" Billy would prefer that if the pay were the same, and the the asso ciations of such an occupation would be more in accordance with his naturat proclivities. ....We learn from the Ortgonian that Mr. J.

K. Eeloy and the "noration" by Hon. D. Onkcy, Esq. Their procession was headed by "Great Mogul," Captain, followed by the "Tin Horn Band," then several Ugly Plugs; next came the Light Salem Butter Milk Battery, followed by some more Ugly Plugs. In the rear and on either flank, as per programme, were escorts of "citizens walking, citizens in vehicles, citizens in wagons, citizens on foot, and then the res t of the citizens." The Tin Horn Band was a motley crowd in a dilapidated wagon drawn by ono old horse. The instruments consisted of a long tin horn, a short tin horn, a sheet iron cymbal, a wheezy accordeon and gouty fiddle. The "Butter Milk Battery" was made up of a sheet iron chimney for a gun, mounted on a log wagon. drawn by a yoko of oxen. The gunner was an "intelligent contraband" and flourished an old broom for a rammer and sponge. The manner of firing was by thrusting a bunch of fire crackers into the chimney and then putting in his head and shoulders to ignite them. Being very " intel ligent" be managed to get his head out again be fore the explosion took place. One of the gun ner's squad, flourished a huge wooden aword on winch was Inscribod "Doth," signifying his bloody trade.

A case lias just been decided in the Mult- oomalt Cirouit Court by Judge Sliattuck, in volving important consequences to a consider able part of the laws enacted by the Inte Leg islature the city of Portland vs. M. Stock. The main point presented to the court was the question of tho constitutionality of an act of the Legislature entitled "An art to amend an act eutitled : an act to incorporate the city of Portland." This act amends the former law by reference to article and section without re citing tlio part amended aa required by Art IV. Seo. 22 of tlio Constitution, which is as follows: "No act shall over be revised or amended by mere reference to its title, but tho act revised or section amended shall be let forth and published at full length." We quote the portions of tho decision of public interest : It is alleged that this act is unconstitutional and void, because it Is an amendment or revi sion, and has been made or attempted in a manner forbidden by lection 23 of Article IV of the Constitution of this State. I think this objection to the act is valid and should bo sus tained. I come to this conclusion not without hesitation, and a full consciousness of the re sponsibility assumed in declaring a solemn act of the Legislative Assembly unconstitutional and Told. 1 be consequences of such a deci sion by the court of final resort might bo of se rious importance in respect to tne past or luture legislation of the State ; bat when the meaning of the couititution is clear, consequences should not hare any weight la lavor ol a ilitlerent construction. Here the 22J Seotiou of Art. 24, Const, is quoted as above. The clear and plain meaning of this section, it would seem, cannot be mistaken. If the words are allowed to have their usual and un disputed signification, it must hare been in tended that whenever an aot or a part of an act shall be amended or revised, the old law shall be exhibited on the same page with the proposed amendmeot,so that the legislator may see at a glance the contract and be the better nrenared to aot nnderetandintly. This, I think, is the only grammatical meaning u( the word set, and the only meaning the words should be allowed to bare. 1 he rule general, ly applied to written instruments applies) here, "that in the absence of ambiguity, no exposi tion shall be made which is opposed to the ex press words of the instrument in other words. It is not allowed to interpret what bos no need of interpretation." Smith's Com., seo. 505. It is suggested, however, that a fair and ac curate mistroctioo of section 22 only rrqoire that the aot revised or amended, should be set forth at revised or at amended ; in other words that the section amended is only to be re-published in full with the amendments incorporated in their proper place. Hut if this were admit ted to he the true rule of construction, it would not relieve this amendment of the objection! nrrea sewn m iunw uiawuivnu u w .1.7 1.

VII or Art. IV, then the re enactment of the entire article as amended, which bos not been done in this CSX". . Tbe opinion I entertain is tanetiooed npon principle, by legislative precedent, and by ju dicial authority. The section of the constitution referred to wns adopted for good reasons. It had been the practice of our territorial legislature to revise and amend existing laws by reference only to the title, and by inserting in the body of nu act so referred to a section, or iu somo section a line or more. This loose practice had caused serious confusion and created much dnulit and difficulty iu determining what was or whs not (lie law on many subjects. Our statutes were becoming mutilated and fragmentary more like tattered pntchwnrk than like a compact and clear body nf laws. Amendatory acts were passed without much consideration, aud often only vnguo ideas of what effect the pro posed amendment would hnvo upon the law sought to he amended. The convention wise ly determined to interpose a check to this prno tice by incorporating section 22 into the con stitution, The clause was inserted (to use Hie language of the supremo court of the State of Maryland upon a like subject) "for the pur pose, ot preventing incautious nml fradulent legislation, and to enable members to act knowingly upon ull subjects, and to guard them from the contingency of voting for the repeal or revival of laws through mistake or accident, under the deceptive lauguago often employed in the title of acts." Our State Legislature, though tint uniformly, yet to a considerable extent, at tho two first sessions after the ndoptiun of the constitution, placed the same construction npon section 22 that is insisted npon by the defendant's counsel in this oato. See laws of 1851), page 39, aud speoial aots of same session, pages 3 and S. l,hws oi jotiu, puces o, cv, and 1U1. Article IV of our constitution, relating to me legislative ueparinienc, is almost a literal transcript of that of tho Statu of Indiana, and section 22 Is taken. tii-4(i(im from tho constitu tion of that State. It is pertinent, then, to as certain bow this section has been construed by tlio courts of that Stato, nnd their construction of it ought to be with us high authority as to r-s meaning. I lie question was directly involved in the case of Langdon vs. Applcgntu, and was deci ded by the supreme court of that State in the year 1854. 5 Jud. K. 328. The act in ques tion in that case was ono attomntinir to amend a section oi a prior not in mis manner, viz : "The 22d seotion of said aot is hereby amend ed to read as follows, to wit:" Then follows the seotion at amended. The court, after re- lewmg the history of the constitutional nro vision in their Stute constitutional convention ; examine it upon principle ; and citing tho leg islative practice under, and tho iudioial con struction of a like provision in tho constitution of Louisiana, as exhibited by tho legislative en actment nna judical decisions ot that State, conclude by saying: "We are. therefore, of tho opinion that tho section of tho ninendatnry aot which attempts to amend said 22d section. without setting out tlio same at full length, is uiJuuiinkiLubiuijui iiim voiu. otuttri, justice, dissented, but delivered no opinion. Several other authorities are hero quoted, all to tho sumo effect, and theu follows the deoi sion t "I am, therefore, of the opinion that the act approved mil October, JWi, which attempts to amend the charter of tho City of Portland in me manner atiove explaiued, is uuoonstitu tiotial and void. This decision - if sustained and it would seem that it must be will also, if applied to numerous other acts of the Legislature, render them void for the same reason. The school law is an instnnoe. In that, several acts are amended by the repeal of chapters and sections by mere reference to them, while other chap ters and sections aro permitted to remain The present law, as to such chapters and seo tious, stands as a substitute nnd therefore op erates as an amendment of tho acts. We be lieve this is the legal effect of a substitute. Whether the simple repeal of a seotion with out substituting another would come within this rule is questionable; perhaps not. The act to amend an act for the protection ol fair grounds oomes within the rule in the Indiana case precisely. Applying Judge Shattuck's ruling to the act to fix tlio time and plaoe for holding the Supremo Court t be substituting of the first Monday of September forthe times thercti fore fixed, operates as an amendment by mere reference to parts of tho then law, and being void for tho reasou given in his decision, the result is au additional term, for the Sep tember term is provided fer absolutely. The act to amend au act creating the county of Multnomah aud several others aro uncon stitutional in view of this decision. It is al most certain that portions of the codo are open to the samo objection : See supplemental aot, approved Oct. 17. 18G2, pago 124, General Laws. Snivelling Aoain Tho present raid of the rebels Into Mary land and Pennsylvania has set the croakers going again in the usual "weeping Jeremiah" style. Matters are ex ceedingly bad, aud they can't see any prospect of their getting any better; Murvhind is in vaded and Pennsylvania Is yielding np her fat ness to rebel hordes ; Washington is in dan ger, and the d I to pay generally according to the croakers. The fuct that the rebel army baa crossed or designs to cross the Potomac, does not prove any disability to crush the rebellion. On tho contrary it merely shows that tbe rebellious country had become so sick and starved that it could no longer support its armies and was compelled to send them over to board awhile at tho expense of Undo Sam. We are ablo to subsist their armies as well as our own, and the Confederacy is not. Th raid brings that fact out, and that is some comfort, at the worst. Beeidn this, the rebel army cannot maintain a position north of the Potomao for any great length of time; so that, if they do carry off booty, tbe consequences of the invasion are? not permanent. There is some chance that they may get thoroughly flailed before their ben roost robbiut expedition closes. That is comforting, slim as the chance may be. The greatest and most encouraging effect to come from this invasion is the impetus it will give to Northern patriotism. Already we see the favorable Influences at work t New York turns out her militia and volunteers, though the mid Is hundreds of miles distant; Penn sylvania flics to arms for the defense of her border ; New Jersey tenders her assistance. Before many- days shall elapse, tho array of troops who have heretofore never smcllcd pow- der, will be sufficient to start Lee to the south side of the Potomac, while the veteran army of the Potomao may take him as he flies and smite biro bip and thigh. Tbe dangers of Washington and the loyal States will re-awaken the military ardor that has been so long on the wane. It will rooso the prido of the North, sting it with shame, and bring out the sleeping vengeance of an outraged people who have scarcely yet become conscious of the great wrong done them by the rebellion. The endan , , , , , I f" r WOODing down upon . i i .,... . .. . tne enemy, iuiij arnosva ai tasi io we lactajiai temporizing and dallying and hall and half ef forts will nerer pot an end to the war. Wo can not see that the invasion is likely to Jo, Bnallr, any barm. If It resulted in setting the administration, the generals and the peo ple at work seriously in a tigoroos prcercotion of the war the raid will hare accomplished great good to tbe Union cause. The army of Let Is what needs to be whipped and not the flare where it happens to bo. To onptnre Fredericksburg would n't amount to much if Lee should got awsy with his army. Whip tho army soundly nnd Fredericksburg will no longer bo of any importance, So of any other plaoe. Maryland or Pennsylvania will either of thoiti be quite as convenient a plaoe fur that enterprise as Southern Virginia. Thero is no oause for snivelling, and the drivelling snivel lers may as well dry up. DIED. . Iii Portland, 28th ult., Wolfenden, son of Rev. P. E. anil Mary A. llyluuil, aired 1 y jar.

This " Cvkm expels the ponton from tho blood, and cfinaequently cures them all alike. It is an invaluable protection to immigrants and pmnns travelling or temporarily re siding in the malarious districts. If taken occasionally or daily while exposed to the Infer lion, that will be exert ted from th svtetn, and cannot accumulate In sufficient nunntitr to :yen Into dincrwe.
