HvTHlNO rUOM GRANT. !
'Grant is noted for silence. ' Mint of hit pinna

military maps, arrange hi campaigns, disposes
of hie forces, lights hie cigar and ieavet friendt
and enemies alike in Ignorance of hii intention.
He (ends very fair dispatches. When any thing
. of note happen a serious engagement, the blow
ing up of a fnrt, or the capture of an important
poeition he sends a brief telegram to Washing' ,
. ton and then I silent again perhaps for week.
He differs in this from all his predecessors. Dis
patcher from McCleltan, Pope, Hooker, cVo., were
long and frequent. Every movement and every
kirtnish was reported in blazing sentences, and
when there was nothing that could be tortured
into importance, the faithful wires repeated the
olfl story " all quiet on tho Potomac"
jTho same was true when Grunt was hummer.
Ing at the gates of Vlckebnrg. For weeks and
months the Mississippi campaign was progressing,
the key to the great river was being circled in by
slow degrees by a combination of works that
were to effect its fall, whilo the oft repeated
phrase came to us over wires, "nothing from
Grant." But hi actions Anally spoke to us. On
the anivorsary of our National birth thirty thou
sand rebel surrendered, Vicksburg with its sup
plies and fortifications whs oura, and it required
no blazing rhetoric to tell us that Grant was the
bero of a glorious victory,
This same persevering General, with the best,
and largest army ever commanded by an Ameri
can, is now prosecuting plaus for the capture of
the rebel capital. It is an undertaking in which
four generals have failed before him, and too vast
to be compared to the one which he accomplished
on the Mississippi. If he fails it will be no more
than others have done who commenced with
louder trumpets and fairer promises if he sue-, ;
coeds he will only strengthen and coulirin the
faith grateful nation has reposed in him. That
nation, as we have said, is kept somewhat in ig
norance of his plnns and operations. ' We have
regular dispatches from other quarters, from Tcu-1
n 'see, Georgia, Mobile and the Shenandoah, but
b W often do we read our Eastorn news and when
We have doue eiclaiiu in disappointment "noth
ing from Grant !"..'. ,
To many this silence it the canae of doubt and
larra. Fault-tinders are at work, croakers are
busy and the faint-hearted are dejected. But we
have no doubt the bero of many battles is calm
in tie midst of all this confusion He labors at
steadily, thinks at deeply, aud tinoket that fa
vorite cigar at coolly as ever, while the dogs of
war are howling around him and hit friendt, and
enemies at home are discussing the merit of hit
actions. If we did not know him, wo should be
more doubtful) hut at he has proved himself and
bis brave army on many occatiout at he is pro
verbial at all tiaiw fur the very aileiwoof which
he is now aeeustd-we can but teel that there it
hope hope even in the cloud that surrounds him,
hope In bis very Hence.' ' "
No E'him V have received from the Secre
tary of the Toaeh-:rs' Insilttite ' veral addresses
and t-ayt n-a 1 i i lme sossitin, wiih t request
for their publican, m. They aro all meritorious
productions, and would appear crndilnhlv in print,
but owing to a surplus of matter it is impossible
for us to publish I hem entire, and we have no
idea the authors desiro to seem them mutilated.
The Presidential canvass is just commencing,
the State Legislature Is toon to meet, and there
are many questions of national polities and local
interest that must be discussed. Ill consequence
there aro many articles crowded out that would
be admitted In ordinary times..
We would suggest to the managers of the
Teachers' Association that these difficulties might
be obviated by the publication every year ef a
mall pamphlet containing the proceedings of the
session and all productions worthy of publicatiou.
Tbit would be by far the most effective and ap
propriate meant of tutting forth the alms and la
bors of the Institute. Tha expense would be
trifling compared to the benefit tbit would be to
the cause of education. We submit these sug
gestions to the consideration of those concerned.
We are willing to do everything in our power to
aid the cause of education, but it mutt be remem
bered that we publish a political paper, and in
these timet that "try Mens souls" we hava to con
eider numerous questions of exciting interest.

THE IJir0KIATI0.N8 1.M0 i'OI.K.
The Arena lint weakened very sensibly upon
this subject. Having first nlleRod that "Union
nan" wore engaged in the disreputable!
business, and indicated by insinuatii ns which it
WRt too cautiont to put into definite lmigunge,
the individual! upon whom it desired to affix
the fnlte charge it now, with a tnrt of tub
lime itidifiereuce, utterly ignores the original is
tue, and endeavors to raise a new one, to wit:
That sundry individual; who had not the le
gal right to do 10, voted the Union ticket in
Polk county. We aro confident that a fair in
vestigation will show that this charge it as flan
derouely false at tho former one, but wo per
sist in disposing of the original one first.
It Lot utterly and shamefully failed to ad
vance one particle of evidence that any '-Union
man" ever took a voter to Polk county, or ever
tried to do to. If any testimony hud been
within reach, we cannot doubt that cnpperlx-nd
industry would have been nhltt to have devel
oped it In tlio several weeks that the limit r
has been ia controversy. It is convicted of a
mulioiuut slander, which originated in its own
fertile brain, aud now recoils upon itt head "to
plague the luventnrt." No member of the
Union party ever imported a voter into Polk,
and the Arena knows it.
But it names a few respectable person whom
it alleges voted in that county illegally. It is
duo to those men that we should repel the foul
imputation upon their good name. "Fred Mil-
"lcr. Thot. Jaokson, I. N. Huffer, and W
"Sherman, all employes of tho Indian Depnrt-
"tnent, voted the Union ticket in Polk county,
"while at the tame time they were not bona fide
"reeidentt thereof." Miller and Jackson were
employes of the Indian Department, and did
vote in Polk county, and they had an undoubt
td right to do 10. They were residents i f
that county when they were employed, had done
business there, had paid tuxes there, and hud
no resideuoe anywhere else. It ia true that
while they were in government employ they
lived upon the agency in Yamhill county, but
the Constitution (Art. 11, Sea. 4) provides that
"for the purpose of voting, no ieriinuhull be
deemed to have gained or Inst a residence
while employed in the service of the Uuited
States or of this State." While in government
employ they neither gained or lost a residence
This residence continued iu the place fiom
which they had been employed that is Poik
county, and there, and nowhere else bud th
a right to vote. Their right to vote was ques
tioned at the polls, and the facts fully slated
The judges of election decided (rightly too.)
that they were boueitly entitled to the priv
ilege.
Huffer' case we are not fully informed about,
but the presumption is thut as he did vote, he
did so rightfully. We have taken meusiir x to
ascertain the facts in hie case also, tin, I w ill
give them to the public In due time
W. Sherman, we are assured, is nut, nor
never wat, an "employe of the Indian Depart
ment." nor did any such person votei nt the
precinot near the Agency lu Polk county. We
don't know any man ,f that tiame, nr does
any one of the many citizens of Polk, of whom
we have enquired. The individual is a myth
a creation of the fertile Imagination of the
Arena to auswer itt present purpose.
"A- )., Wells," our coleinpnrary suv. ' the
Statetman admits, iu effect, was not a b gi'
voter." This is utterly untrue. The glutei
man asserted that he wa$ a (egnl voter, ami
proved it. Ho went into Polk, to engaje in an
honorable employment, without nnr reference
to the election. He been ma n bona fide resi
dent of the county, hud t rgln In vol,, lb re,
and had no rijjit t vn u any v. life , U(,. j,
is a young iiuiu of In eh .racier, no-p. cted lit
all who know him. These ininuiuihiu upon
liiin, wheu he ia alsent au'i unable to uy u
word in his own defense, are as contemptibly
base in spirit, at they are unfounded in fact.
Vngne allusion Is again made to the toldiers
from Fort Yamhill who voted, hut not even a
pretence it made of showing that they were
not entitled to (he privilege. Tin y had resided
in Polk prior to their enlistment u part of
them since 1854 and no more doubt existed
of their right to vote, than of tho right of a
farmer who had lived there tun years.
We repeat that the Arena has signally, tit
terry, failed to establish its th irge tlitit Uninu
men were iu any way engaged in the importing
business. It wat a foul slander, uud known to
bo tuch by those who originated it. The im
portation! were onnductcd solely by democrats
for the beuefit of tho democratic parly. We
presume it will not be necessary for ua to refer
to this part of the object again.

The world renowned John Chat. Fremont,
having received tho nomination of the discon
tents at Cleveland, tins given up the "military"
line and retired to hit summer residence at Na
liaiit, Massachusetts. Though not intimate
with the liny State localities, we have mi tin
pressiou thut Naliuut it a quiet beach village,
sometimes culled a "watering place" tut ac
oount of its proximity to the tea, There, John
Charles, sufiicicutly removed from the hum of
tho active world, appears to be ruminating
upon punt failures to attain greatness, and pol
ishing aud shaping hit opinions to suit the com
ing contest.
Not long sinco he wat visited in his retire
ment by Mr. Iluinziuuiid Wendell Plnll ps.two
start uniting his abolition Teutonic supporters.
They cimvor ed with their prophet freely, and
after having reeeived the answers of the oracle.
Mr. Heinzcn is commissioned to make the mar
vel known to tho gaping world. The virtuous
Fremont, us appears from the communication
of his tne ium, is principally exercised about
'the unpunished and unlicensed violation of
'law on the part of Mr. Lincoln and hiscabi
net;" and the ilunger that the Ki public will be
"morally undermined by an unparalleled car
rnpti'in." He proposes to modify the cnniit
cation plank of the Cleveland Convention, huv
ing discovered that it was too sweeping in its
character, mid likely tube received by the reb
els "us a measure of revenge " He considers
it necessary "to toften the impression produced
"by this paragraph." The first object In he
considered is tho removal of Lincoln from
Washington; unci us tho conservative detune
racy have the same pur osc 'n hand, be pn po
ses to open a recruiting office and fill up the
skeleton regiments of the radical democmey
with their political cousins.
And is not (hit a pretty picture ! Fremont
mourning over the corruption and violation of
law by Mr, Lincoln uud his cabinet ; and pro
posing to amalgamate the radical ami rump
democracy for the purpose of bringing about a
reform, by removing Mr. Lincoln from Wash
ingtoii and putting Mr. Fremont in his place
Just think of it! When, in bis checkered oa
reer, did Fremont ever touch public money
that w as tint gobbled up, either by himself or the
thieving jackals that always surrounded him?
When was he ever entrusted with power,
unytliing. that he did not attempt to play the
Dictator, uud coiitemptuvusly ignore and defy
all law and restraint I His Missouri career alone
it enough to slio what- reliance can he placi d
upon these liypix ritioal professions of virtue
and respect for law. Fremont, in nddiliou to
lavishing millions of public money upon cor
nipt favorites ut St Louis, and that too in deQ
unce of law, viu the first General iu the Fed
erat army to confiscate properly, to imprison eil
itors and suppress newspupers w ithout law or
authority. Yes, "uffeut a virtue, if you have it
"not." The role of the high-handed major-
general, aud would he Dictator, bos been
played out with Fremont. His ability was not
iquul to his mad and wicked ambition. Aud
now, forsooth, bo steals away to the quiet

That corruption and cormi't nu n are in the
country, we do not dmilii, It has been so ever
itnv we luxe known it, nud is probably worse
now ihan at oilier time when tin re were luck
ing the many nppur; unities which the Immense

Our publication nf the letter written by Wat-
kinds to OofV, Hiiydeii tn d Whitley, lias caused
quite a flutter in tho ylrena'i camp, and has
brought out two of the proprietors (,f that paper
curds of furious denial. The editor also
rushes to the rescue, and intimates that the let
ter which wo asserted was in Walkinds' hand
writing, and Riley etutes under nath was hand
ed to him by Watkinds, is a forgery. Hiryden,
Watkimls aud the editor, all labor to impugn
Hiley't testimony, freely accuse him of perjury
and other orlmet, and quoin from the S'atei-
man to show what our opinion of him line been.
To all this it it perhaps a sufficient reply, to
sny. that up to about the time of the publication
of the Walkinds let til', this nunc Hilev, and ihu
very men who are now so noxious to discredit
him. were intimate associates and friends, , If
he wat a villain, they associated with a villain.
If lie was a perjurer, they counseled with a per
jurer. So ftir'as they and Riley are concerned,
it is quite immaterial which way the point ia
decided. We think those who are acquainted
with tho parlies w ill as readily believe Riley at
Biiy nf them. ' , -
But this is uf small consequence. ' Tho elate-
menu nf Riley are not the only evidence of the
authenticity of the now famous letter. We did
not "mistake" w hen we said that the letter was
In the hand writing of Walkinds. It it in hit
hand writing, wnt written by him nt a table
where other parlies besides Itiley were seated,
and wat given to Riley in the prctcntc of other
individuals:. Not only is the letter in the hand
writing of Walkinds, but so is the direction on
the back of the envelope. If Riley bad never
made any statements about tho matter at all,
this letter itaelf is sufficient to identify the au
thor. There are nut ten men iu Marion or l'olk
counties, who have read the letter and all that
bus been suid about it, by all parties, who do
not believe that Watkimls wrote it. Moreover,
wlii'e Walkinds may elate that he never wrote
said letter, he will not say so under oath. If
ho dnru, let him do so.
Ilayden soys iu his "card," (but the first in
tonation be had of the existence of the letter
was its pnblicatiuu. Riley says in bis affidavit
that 1 lay den took the letter from bit hand and
rend it. The pulilio have both statements, and
they can judge between them. Admit (for the
pni pose of argument) that it was not delivered
to Hiu den. The latter must still explain why
Watkimls, his confidential friend ami associate,
shoo Id w rite him tuch a letter. Ho cannot do
thus in any other way than by admitting bit
participation iu the importations. ' 1 '
The Arena says Riley ' lmu qnnrreled with
Wutkinds about the payment for n saddle, and
the letter was his revenge." That they "hud
quarreled" is no doubt true, but our informa
tion is that the difference was about the "price"
paid to tome of the imported voters, and that
other individuals than these two, were mixed in
it, ' The Arena, however, bus far better oppor
tunities than we for knowing the facts, and we
give due weight to itt version of this not esseu
tinl matter, , ,
Its faith in the immaculate purity of the dem
ocratic party is so great that it thinks "the
complicity of Hayden, Guff", Whitley, and the
whole Polk county ticket" leaves the reputa
tion of the "party" untarnished ! We confess,
we envy our cotempornry itt large faith and
expansive charity. If the "party" ia not Justly
accountable for the nets of these men, and their
assnvi tes in oilier conofle.v what would iliutte
it responsible I We lire content to leave tho
verdict ou this point to ail intelligent public,
without liinher argument.
The i-iiisiug paragraph of the Arena' t article
is tlu following:
We have ruiieatedly said lhat it was nuf imnrnha '
lilo thut democrats wero etiolated in tins inipnriuiiun
of volet We are satistied tnat ulKilUioiusIs weiuiileo
il.us eiiuaxed. If tlie,.Va(MMj nitiiiintea tliut lliis
paper liail any cotnpiicity in the business i iuiportiug,
it iiitimalfs what is slanderously unlriiu."
The first sentence is merely an admission of
what everybody t:ow knows to be true. The
second it a reiteration of the false charge which
that puperhat repeatedly made, but never hut
been able to adduce one particle nf evidence to
support. Common decency requires that it
should cense to repeat the calumny. The thitd
sentence it merely another dodge to avoid the
real matter in issue. The Arena did not exist
at the time tin importing wnt going on. To
sny, til en, that that " paper had any complicity
iu the busiuest of importing," would have been
absurd. The Statetman made no such state
ment. But it did sny, that sundry in ividuuls
wero engaged ill the business, and Hint a part
of these individuals ure now owners and con
trollers nf that paper. It has also brought for
ward proof which ia conclusive of the truth of
its statements. The Atna could not have
been nil accessory before lite fact, for It was not
then born, but by its zealous efforts to conceal
the guilt of the principals, it has become an
accessory after the foot, and as sucb must share
the odium which an outraged community at
taches, to the author of the fraud.
P. S. Since the above wbs iu type, the let
ter of Riley, which it found in another column,
wat handed to at.
