When tbii laat reolntion had beon made,

solleagaei for blood waa at onoe accepted
Payne and Atieroth.
The former I have tketched ; he U believed
to have visited Waehington onoe before, at
Booth's citation fur the murder wae at tirt

THB NIOIIT BEFOMB THB MURDRR.
On the night before the murder Booth fonml
on whom he could rely. John Snrrntt wai
eot northward hy hi mother on Thursday.
Sam Arnold end McLaughlin, eacli of whom
wai to kill a Cabinet officer, grew pigeon lie
ered and ran away. Harrold, Iroe to hie par
tiality, lingered aronnd Booth to iheend. At
- geroth went ao far aa to lake hia knife and pis
tol to Kirkwood', where President Johnson
wai (topping, and hid them under hia bed.
Dot either bit courage failed or a trifling acci
dent deranged hie plan. But Payne, a pro
feetiooal .murderer, ttood "game," and fought
bit war over proatrate figuret to bit aiok vio
tim't bed. There waa great confuainn and
terror among the taoit and raah ooua piratort on
Tkoraday night, Tbey had looked epon the
plot aa a melodrama and found, to their horror,
that John Wilkee Booth meant to do murder.
PMPABATIOM FOB THB HURDRB AND THB
FLIOHT.
Six weeki before the murder young Snrrntt
had taken two pplendid repeating oarbinca to
Borrattvills and told John Lloyd to accrete
them. The latter made a bole in the wains
eoating and toapeoded them from ilringe, ao
that they fell within the plaitered wall of the
room below. On the very afternoon of the
murder Mn. Snrratt waa driven to 8urrattvllle,
and the told John Lloyd to hare the oarbinei
ready, became they would he called lor that
night. Harrold wae made Quartermaater, and
hired the horaee. He and Atieroth were
mounted between eight o'olook and the time of
the murder, and riding about the itreota to
gather. The whole party waa prepared for a long
ride, aa their tpors and gauntleta ahow. It may
have beea their deaign to ride in company to
the Lower Potomac, and by their number ex
net inbeiitenoe and transportation i but all ed
ifice of murder look a oorner alone. We on
ly know that Booth ate and talked well daring

I have not adverted to the hole bored with a

to have been foolish,' wai. In reality, very
shrewd. The nllicers believed that one of

order to nut tliein out ol the real llontirt traox
So they made elTurts elsewhere, and Booth got
the Hurt. At midnight, precisely, the too
horsemen stopped at Hnrrattville, Hootn re

and knocked lustily at the door. Lloyd, the
landlord, came down at once,' wnen unrroid
inshed past him- into the bar, and obtained a
nittle of whisky, some of whioli he gave to
Booth Immediately. While Booth waa drink

one of the carbine. Lloyd started to get the
other, but Harrold aaid :
"We don't want it s Booth hat broken III
leg and can't oarry it."
So the leonnd carbine remained in tho hall,
where the ofiioen afterward fonnd It.
At the two horsemen started to go off, Booth
cried ont ts Lloyd i
"Do you want to hear some news ?"
"I don't care muoh about it," cried Lloyd,
by ni own account.
" We have murdered," tnid Booth, " the
Pretldent and Secretary of State !"
And with this horrible confession, Booth and

wardi those unfortunate white men of the dem

whining for protection against "negro equali
ty." Having been disgraocfully beaten in ev
ery contest lines I860, and, hy their own ac
knowledgement, received their political death
blow In the defeat of the traitors' rebellion.
they now voluntarialy add to their disgrace the
pitahle confession that they oannot hold their
own, and maintain their rank and manhood
against the free negroei of the United States,
without a law for such cases made and prnvl
ded. Like a slobbering idiot, the editor of the
Review foreshadow! the total eclipse of the
white race In America, hy those he would
wear to he nothing but black barbarians, fit
only for slaves and, like a maniac, declare! it
il the intention of the Union party to degrade
III own memben, and nil white men. to a poii
tion lower than that of negroes. At long as
the negroes were In chains, and lorded over by
those democrats "hum In command," the North
ern democracy enjoyed their whisky and news,
papen nnder tho solacing reflection that they
were really better than negroes (although in
dulging in such magnanimity at giving, the lie
groea the right of suffrage in New York) ; hut
so toon as President Lincoln and General
Grant knocked off the chains of slavery, the
demooracy broke into one dolorout bowl, "nig
ger equality, equality, equality wo aro all
ruined."
The Review ll not satisfied with the provi
sion in the State Constitution which excludes
negroes from the right of suffrage, and the
right to make oonlraots and bnld real estate,
but it want! a penal law passed to protect the
democracy from the equalling influence! of
the negro. Inasmuch as the democracy them
selves would not pass inch a law when in pow
er, wa fail to lee the reason or Justice in their
claim Io have such a law passed now hy the
Union party. But if it would do the poor
democrats any xood. nnd Hon their everlastint-
whine about "negro equality," to have their
- -
superiority over tho negro distinctly recognized
we sincerely hope that the next Legislature
will pan a law enacting in general terms:
That, whereas the democratic party ii now
dead and even itiuLeth. and that in the latter
end of its existence it wai generally acknowl
edged to be an aid to Southern traifori and
Iha slaveholders' rebellion ; and.'whereai se
rious doubt have been suggested by the edi
tors of its papers, aa to tbe social atalus of Its
members and Iree negroei j Therefore, Be it
enacted. That any man who will register bit
name as a democrat, shall be held, reoogniied,
and considered superior to any negro ai long
as he behsvvs himself with common decenoy.
That woold doubtless suit ths editor of the
Review.
But to be serious, ws really think Ihii Ii the
reply that justice aud common leuse would
dictate to theie democratic editori. Tbii "ne
gro equality" ii an old humbug that wai oris.
inated by the Northern democracy soon after
tbe Southern ilaveholden compelled the dem
ocratic party to lake lidei with them againat

Because a large number of negroes have
been set free in the South, the defunct demoo

"very effective thunder" for ths next electiou
Aoling on thia, and not being oonfideot lhat

Rut thit "neero equality question' ll hut a

North would expeot to regain what their bretn
ren of the South have loat political power.-
lkt the Union party in Oregon will do no
inch thing. The social or political ttatut ol
the colored people In the Southern Statei will
not be bronght into any Union county or atate
convention in Oregon. It will undoubtedly he
brought np with iminenro parade iu every cop
perhead meeting in the Stale. Great wordy
reioluJioni, replete with cbivatrio dedications
about the race that "wat born to command,"
will bo passed with mnoh "sound and fury" s-
and the democrats will beat the air as usual
and at tho polls be badly defeated again.
It it undoubtedly better fur the white nnd
black raoet to live aeparately, and with that
view tbe Constitution of Oregon it formed.
Negro suffrage will not become a political
question in Oregon, because there are but thirty
or forty colored men in the State. If there
were two thousand colored men, whs might
vote at the next election, it would be the quel'
lion, and we would wager all our old clothes,
that ths democrat party would oertaioly become
the ohamnion of "the oolnred brother." If
iuoIi a state of facts should turn up, we would
aee these high toned democrats around here in
viting "Johnson" the painter, "Dau" tho bar
her, and "Joseph" tbe boot-black, to lumpto
out and extravagantdinner parties ; democrat
io children would go to none but "colored
school inarms," and the editori of tho Review
and Arena would be running loose, wild with
dtliglit.nnd kissing every "nigger baby" in the
country.

politic! of the Western, Southern, and Allan
tic Statei, where there are large numbers of
colored people, there can be no doubt ; and
the time may come when it will be a question
in Oregon. That the colored people will get
their junt political rights.tliere can be Do quel
lion. The infallible democratic party which
arrogates to itself a I the political wisdom In all
past ages, established the precedent for negro
suffrage in the United Statei, and as the prin
ciplei of that party (according toils editor)
never ohange, anJ we must expect them to
advocate negro suffrage in Oregon, whenever
it It popular to do io. Succest it their motto.
not principle!.
And, as that party claiint to be
the esneoial advocate of Statei rights, it will
find itself in an awkward fix, if nil the South
ern Mates adopt negro sollrngo Si loon as
praotloahlo, and lend np an occasional oolored
gentleman to represent the seats formerly filled
hy the democratic Pryon, Rhetts, Wigfalli,
Aco. States rights is a long plank, and if it
leads the democracy to the support of negro
suffrage in tho Southern Statei, it will ac
complish what tkey now affect to despise.

aud apologise to the Arena for not noticing it

"Eagle" and "kite" ! Well, lhat will do.
The eagle it a noble bird one emblem of
American Liberty. The kite hat always been
considered the meanest of the feathered tribe.
In addition to being a Ireaoburout, wolfish, ra
pacitu. thieving oormorunt, the kite is also a
filthy bird no better than a buxxard. Tbe
member of the Oregon Wool Grower' Asso
ciation are the "eagles," and the Salem Wool
en Factory it a "kite." Good ! We'll bet ou
the eaglea. The eagle support the Statesman
the kite supports the Arena. The eaglet
have already railed the price of wool from
twenty oenti in "truck." at the Factury store,
to twenty-one cents, half cath. st lbs other
stores, snd prevented the kite from buying any
wool from first bands. Keep it before the
people, then, lhat the Oregon Arena has taken
up the cauie of its owner, ths "kite," against
ths interests of the bard working, honest wool
growers of Oregon.
DfcxockAcr DisoiisrKD. There cau bo
no better evidence of the connection between
the Southern rebellion and Northern democra
cy, than the uianuer in which the Northern
democrats are affected by Jiff 's disgraceful
lailure in the Petticoat act. Aa loug aa there
waa a show of success for the Confederacy, the
democrats fuuud nolhiug lo bo disgusted or

To this charge of "meanness," "cringing
tervilitu, and natural innate baienett," pro
ferred by Malone against tbe Arena and Re
view, tho two latter papert have put in very
"humble pie" dofonict. The Review gott
down in the dirt to Malone, and attempti to
make amends by abusing tbe Stateiman, while
tbe Arena, with more thow of deooncy, and
lome independence, reiterate! iti former itate
menu in preference to thoie of the "burnin'
andihinin' " light in Jackson county j but in
the end begi very bard for peace in the family
It would be a pity to break np to large and in.
flnenlial a concern ai the demooratio party.
The explosion would be terrible. Do yon
think the pieces would bo discoverable with
magnifying glasi, neighbor I
But to retain to the row. Malone was
brought up in a certain part of the old country
where mourning for the dead iscehbrated by
whisky, dancing, fighting and "lich," and when
President Linooln wat murdered, he could not
tee nor feel anything to be torry for bimtelf,
and not possessing the remotest feeling of re
ppect for the grief of others, "catt about" for
tome plan to celebrate the ocoaiinn according
to hit own feelings. He concluded that the
"Irish wake" was tho style lhat all good dem
ncrata would adopt, and thereupon expressed
himself accordingly.
To bit utter astonishment he finds lhat the
Review aud Arena are opposed In his jollifica
tion, and in furious Irish ho insists thrtt the
"dance shall go on." If Malone hai no ro
tpect for the murdered President, he it at least
consistent in saying ro. He abused Lincoln in
' bis life time and be don't intend to take it hack
now. Tbe Arena and Review having been
broueht up "in tbe white settlements," are
alarmed, lest Pat's hearty contempt for eulo
gici on Lincoln may drive the better portion of
the democracy into a party that honora and
veneratel the name of Iho great "Defender.
Good Prospbcts fob. the Wool Grow'
kiss. A New York commercial journal, in an
article on the future of wool and woolent, re
mark! as followi :
It will he found that just in proportion as cotton falls
in price the machinery of this nnd Eunuieao ennutries
will start ; employment win oe given tome operatives ;
the demand for woolens will increase t the iuureaned
fiemaiiil for foreign wools in Kuffland will increuse
their price here, which will enhance the value ol our
own wool ; and the increased coat of the production of
woolens in these countries will no increase their values
that they can no tbe imported at so low a gold price as
during the pa.it four yearn. This will Increase the gold
value of our owu production. We have shown the
value of the deluiue wool iu Englaod, and we have
inru-e quaiititien 01 mis ciaao 01 wool prouueeu Here
which is eiual if not superior to theEnglich wools, aud
there is no earthly reason why thin clasa of wool should
be sold one cent less here than io England, say 60c f
lb gold.
There is no don lit that in tbe future wool ii
destined to bear a higher prioo, compared with
cotton, than it ever did before in time of peace.
We have been shown a letter from Knapp,
Burrell ic Co. which ttatea that late advioet
from the East are more favorable than they
have been ; and this would seem to indicate
an advance on prices there. By the same let
ter we learn that K. B. & Co. will grade the
wool in Portland, which they may ship East.
That Brandino Iron. "Our branding
iron" leemt to have hit tomebody. We have
received quite a large nnmber of letten from
our friends urging at to keep it "hot" snd ap
ply it rigoronsly. Several of our opponents,
not to be outdone, have written to nt that it
wni "d d mean to bring np matteri in that
way." By the Arena we observe that tome
rid rebel np at Soio is terribly exercised about
it. He doubtless got an application nf it.
where McPherson nf tho Journal insists we
should apply it. We promise both sides that
they shall be indulged in its frequent nse, ss
long as the demooratio papers shall refuse to
explain or apnlngite for their infamous abuse
of President Lincoln.
Oa, Via ! On, Yin 1 Ha. PExxranrai,. Cons into
Coust. Discovered : The man who writes the Portland
correspondence for the Arena and who imagine thai
his hand ia ioiiuical to tyrants. Mr. Sylvrsler Penny

by education, formerly an abolitionist, at one time a
school teacher, and at present a clerk in a bark-mill al
Portland. He is now suffering front dyspepsia,
and imagines it ts politics. He ouchtlo tike "pepsin.''
Last week he Inflicted two snd s lialf mortal columns
of slulT upon the readers of the Arena, about the Purl

copy of bis "piece," and when Uov. Andrew's Yankee
girls reach Portland, we shall mark il acd send it to
them, so lhat they may give him a good ducking in the
