Now, that Abraham Lincoln li dead, and tho sol.
diers disbanded, we lienr the song of the dovo, The
above extract is nliont as infiiinoitsly false as the Eng
lish language can make It. There may bo four or livo
men in Company C, who will vote with their Copper
bond enemies, who slandered and vilified Ihera for vol
unteering, and who do so yet, and who endeavored to
prevent their receiving the State bonds for a recom
pense i but thosffnre all. Itut look at the course of
these honnds, tliese hell deserving hounds in the dem
ocratic party, who now profess such friendship for tlio
soldiers. What did they do for the soldior while in
the servioo? Did thoy not do all they could to prevent
his enlistment? and, after he had enlisted, tins not
tliese hounds in that party denounced the soldiers as
"Lincoln's hirelings," " Lincoln's dogs," " Lincoln's
butchers." "robbers," " thieves," " murderers," and
every other vile epithet that their Ratauic hearts could
conceivo, or their hellish tongues oxpressl Did not
their lenders in Congress volo against supplying tlio
soldiers with fuod and clothing? Did they not oppuan
their receiving any pay? Did not their spokesmen in
Oregon oppose the proposition to pay the soldiers
live dollurs per uioiith in State bonds, nfter the sol
diers had faithfully served the State for thruo years,
and periled their lives on the frontiers, at sixteen dol
lars pur month in greenbacks, to protect the livos and
property of these same detnocratio hounds from the
ravuges of the Indians? And did not these same dem
ocratic honnds oppoBO the giving of bounties to tho
soldiers. fur enlistment, to protect our enterprising mi
tiers and poor pioneers, at a time when there were but
a few hundred soldiers in all the vast Indian territory
embraced in Oregon, Idaho, and Washington, and no
soldiers to bo had from tho U. 8. Army? And have
not tliese democratic hounds, in every way they cuuld,
tried to heap reproach und odium on our brave sol-
diem, encouraged their enemies, rejoiced at Iheir de
feats, sorrowed at their victories, and attempted to
rob and starve their wives and children, by opposing
their proper payment, ami by ridiculing and depre
ciating their uiouey? It is true ; overy word of it.
And don't it make the blood of every Union man boil,
to sco these sumo liifaiuoiiM detnocratio hounds now
turn around, after they have murdered Abmhum Lin

ANEW SCHOOL LAW.
Mr. EiilTdt: In the Statesman of October
HOtb, I rjotioian artiulo under the above dip
lion. As I lve bad some fourteen years' ex
perience io polling in Oregon, and am still
engngod in tie business, and expect tn be for
a while, at Inst, I naturally feel a personal
interest in tin; movement in tlmt direction. I
therefore readthc article in question very care
fully, to aicerkin what good tiling was in em
bryo. I
I was a littp surprised, however, to loarn
that " a new solonl law " was " imperatively
ik'timiiilcil,.' and tlmt " there can bo but little
question " list on! " is expected from the Leg
islature at the coping extra sessiou ;" not hav
ing yet been infirnied that the extra session
was called for tin purpose of enacting " a new
school law," and in my simplicity, siippnsinir
that a few atueillments to the old law would
nmko it answer ps yet lor a year or two, But
when I read tlwt "our old law is worth but
littlu more than 10 111 noli blank paper in flnr
statute books," Iliegan tn think that, of course,
we are now to have Something grand; and
when I saw tin distinguished names of the
members of tin Conimittue, "nil practical
teachers of miitft oxperiuuoc," who wuro to
prepare this imtruinont. my expectations at
onoe sontetl so- f&r away into the ideul exoullen
oy of our future ichnol system tlmt they came
very near not gelling buck again, I bad sunn!
lit tic fear, also, that the system would lie so
snpior to the pliiu old law under. which I had
labored so oonfmtedly, tlmt n common country
school teacher like myself might nut be able to
meet its requTemcnts, and so poor mu would
be crowded iff the truck entirely.
I do not blitue the writer of the urtiolii in
ijiii'Htinn, hmvvvcr, for condemning our present
law ; for I stipnse he considered his own would
nnt be much letter, and, nfonursn, the old law
must I 0 tabooed liufnru tho now oue ouuld at
tract nttent'on enough for sonsideratbin.
A second rmsnn why I do not Illume the
writer for oomlf inning tho present law is, that 1
myself, some time since, Itfiiring our law pretty
freely douounced by OJrtuin parties, concluded
that it was surely a poor tfl'air. and probably
so expressed myself. Ol" course, therefore, I
cannot hhinio another fur tlio same iiHense.
But I nfterwnrdi found, alien I seriously con
sidered what sections I would niter, ami what
I would substitute in their place, or add lo the
law, that it was no ensy matter to prepare 11
system that would stiind the test of even my
own feeble criticism. Hence I ooticludt'd, like
the Committee, that ft is not "necessary to
make any essential ehungo iu the present law,"
but that, so far as it goes, with a few amend
ments, it will do very well.
And n third reason w hy I cannot lilatne the
writer of the article is question is. that 1 11111 ol
tho impression that it is the innlienable prerog-
nlivo of tho American people to find ull the
fnult possible with every law enacted. As n
" sovereign," therefore, the writer has a right
to grumble as much ns lie pleases.
But to return to the ' new school law." I
find that, np to the prcunt time, the Committee
have only agreed upon four items, to utt: A
ritiite supervision; a county snperintenueiicy i
examination nf touchers, ntul the district clerk
I design to cntisidor the proposed ohutiges :
A Stnto inperintcndeiiuy is not conteiuplutcd
hy the old law. 1 lie necessary inlcrcnue. then,
Is. that the old law is defective iu this resneot,
r that it was not necessary at tho time nf the
ennclnient uf the old law, but that tbu increus
iug wants of lint country demand it now, or
that there (Iocs not now exist sufficient cause
for said siiperiutenili'iicy. Tho first of these
hypotheses may well be disputed, tho si-coud
may no rensnuahly probable, anil the third I
worthy of serious consideration. I suppose the
duties which the Committee nresrrilio lor the
State Siiperiiiteuil""' 'iodY ihe principal
rensons why thev consider this olliuo uecessury
and I will therefore notice tho sniuc.
Clinngitig tho order of the duties of the Slate
Superintendent somewhat, I find their enumer
ation, ns set forth by tho committee, to be to
visit each county uucu a year to intend teach
era institutes; to issue diplomas tn teachers
qualified to receive them; to issno forms,
hliinks, ctc.;'to decidn questions of appeal; to
have a general supervision of the system; to
make certain reports of his labors, etif.; to give
bonds for the faithful performance of his duties,
and tbu disbursement of moneys coining into
bis hands; to he furnished with un oflice, well
supplied with nil the necessary accompani
ments; nnd "fo he paid yearly a salary nf
?..)iHi: ' the Inst item no iloulit being con
sidered by Ihe Coiutiutlee the most important,
ns they hare placed it first 011 tlio list, nfter the
Superintend! ut is elected and his office fur
mailed him. After oarefully elan iniug nil the
above. I am forced to the conclusion that, if
these constitute all. nr even a principal or lend
ing portion of tho most important italics of a
Stntti Superintendent, we huve but very little
use for that ollicer.
My reasons for thus concluding are these:
Blanks and forms con be defined by statute,
and the State Printer can furnish tliem to
County Superintendents, for ili-tiiliutimi. at a
Inr less price than the cost of a Slate Superin
tendency ; Ihe questions of appeal are net likely
to be numerous enough tn justify the creating
of a new office at $2.5110 a Vein, especially 111
wo hnve competent tribunals eiioiioli already
for the deciiiion of any question that may nriso ;
the Coveruor, being Slate Superintendent un
til another is elected, could, if uecessarv. issue
diplomas to tenchers. nitd I question his having
applications enough in this lino to seriously in
ter ere with bis gubernatorial dutiis: County
Superintendents and teachers interested can
organize nnd keep up teachers' institutes nt
much less expense than 92.500 a year ami per
iinisites; in short, if tho duties set forth em
body the more important deftnuds for a Stale
Snperinleudeiiey. I consider them entirely 111
adequate tn the expense, and as really hardly
furnishing soluctent basis lor a serious consid
eration of the question.
It mnv he said that the article in the states
man gives only a synopsis 01 too proposea
change. He it so. It mnv be reasonably be
inferred that a less would take precedence o! a
grejtter, and henco we may fairly presume that
the Committee, so far as they have considered,
have soirgosted their most important changes,
and in the labors and duties prescribed, hare
set forth the main reasons for said changes.
Therefore, this position cnimot nffect mv argil
meiil. and as there is hut littlu necessity for any
Additional court or ollicer to decide questions
of appeal ; as forms and blanks can be furnished
under our laws just ns well, and nt comnara
tively but a trilling expense; a the giving of
itiplnmaa to tenchers is ton insignificant to call
lor such expense; ami as visiting teachers III
stitutes. whilst furnishing a nice opportunity
for soine pompous official to parade hi frvortte
hobbies at f i.'iW) a year, still should occupy,
at most, no more than a secondary position of
a State Superintendent, II even that, tor
these reasons, to enumerate no more, I con
elude that, if fliere can ho no morn wcirlny
reasons advanced for the creation of this oilice
than those inferred Irom the article in the
Statesman, tht office in question would be too
expensive a luxury tn be demanded nt present.
Oregon is as yet hardly able or willing lo pur
chase so extravagant a sinecure ; mid until
sounder reasons can be advanced for the crea
tion of this office than have been advanced, it
it to be honed that Ihe same " misunderstand
ing and nndue maneuvering nf some pretended
friends of common schools outside ol Ilia Leg
islature" will be brought to bear at tho next
session, and the Stale be saved from so grievous
an infliction. The Injury arising from the d.
f at of this measure wouid be scarcely percep
tible, except to a few aspiring politicians.
I wonld n it have it interred however, that I
am opnorrd In our having a State Superinten
deticy nf Instruction, nor that I think it on-n.-ressarv
si the present lime tn create such an
oibee. I do consider that there are abundant
and impoMBiit services requiring the full atten
tion of such an aflicer, ami good rensnns exist
ing for the establ shment of the ohioe nt the
present time. And whilst it is true that I
should probably embody the principle items set
forth in tiie Statesman article among the duties
and requirements of the State Superintendent,
yet Utey would occupy merely a secondary or
incidental position in comparison with other
and more important duties, and. 01 licmtcivcs.
would hy no means justify the establishment ol
tho olliue. I havo not room in this number tn
shn.' my reasons for considering the oflice de
manded, nut will present them in a tuture arti
cle. Alpha.
NEiiUO SUFFRAGE.
En. Statesman : The articles published in
the Statesman nf October 2d and 2Ud. upon
this subject, appear lo me so unjust, that I
would prove false to my principles were I tn
pass them by iu silence. We honor and respcot
the black man who has battled for the defeiiso
of tlio Union and a free Government, and the
niau that does not is a traitor nt heart. This
is a good text, bnt we propose to preach from it
a different doctrine from that advanced by the
Statesman,
We believe tlmt any truly democratic or re
publican form of government can successfully
govern two distinot raoes, whose objects and
aims are identical (life, liberty and the pursuit
nt happiness, for instance), with equal political
ri:hts to both, and wo propose showing how it
can be done, Our method is a stinplo one,
though perhaps somcwhnt novel. It would he
nothing more than strict jiialioc.snys the States
man. to give the elective franchise to some two
hundred thousand negroes 111 tho United States,
who nre fully qualified to exeroise it, and many
ol' whom pnv larL'O taxes to support the Gov
eminent. That is mv solution of tho whole
question be strictly just to all men, and if
democratic or republicm tnrms ol government
ennnnt exist under such circumstances, let them
give place tn some other form, that will not
only preach justice tint practioe It. Wu nro
makiiiir history, said President Lincoln. Let
ns see tn it that it is well made. 1 am no man
worshipper, yet I conscientiously believe that
President Lincoln wus as pure a man as over
filled the Preridential chair, nnd one of the lust
men to say or do anything that in his judgment
would injure his country or his race, Where
is the man so verdant ns to suppose that he had
not given to this stiH'nige question his most se
rious thoughts, nnd yet among tho last, if not
llto very last, public speech he ever made, nnd
just three days before his death, in speaking of
the reconstruction policy in Louisiana. expressed
himself in favor of tho intelligent Negro, and
all others who had manfully fought the battles
of their ontiiitry, having the right of suffrage
extended to them. I hope I may be pardoned
for preferring his testimony upon this point In
til at of either Sherman or Cox. Tho former's
round with Johnssn has not given me a very
exalted opinion of his statesmanship, and the
latter mnv have had an ax to grind, for aught
I know, about the time he wrote that letter. If
the idea advanced, that while men on this side
of tho water nre equal to white men on the
other, be correct, let us alter the Declaration
of Independence, and hare it rend as it should,
that nil while men. etc It is my humble opin
ion, that had that word while been inserted in
the immortal document bv its trainers, it never
would have risen to the dignity of a stump
speech. But we nro told that, to confer sul
frage upon the negro would be a departure from
the settled policy of the Government ever since
its organization. Well, what of that ? Shall
science in every oilier form advance with giant
strides, nnd that of government remain station
ary ? When in the history of our nation hit)
tlio Executive appointed Military Governors
over sovereign Slates? II it call rightfully
chinii the power to cooler citizenship upon a
man who has forfeited nil such right, can it not
confer the same l ight upon a mini who bus never
enjoyed it 7 Cerlainly not, says the Statesman
And why 7 neciiiise die Inrmer is a white
man the latter 11 black one. That may he
good reasoning, but I cannot see it. "The
man that gives his heart honestly," etc., etc.
Well, here goes, Sir. hditor : 1'or try part, I
nut willing to go tn the polls with any man of
any color, country or race miner Heaven, who
is ready to stand forth and fight, if need be, fur
the inalienuhlu rights of man, In wit: " llto.
liberty and the pursuit of happiness;" and I
uoiild do it, too, with a much better grace than
I could by the side of A. II. Stephens, nr any
uf that class of men either North or South. I

elect annually one nf their number as Secretary,
to keep a record of their local aots relative to
the school teaohets, etc., etc. 1 he oldest mem
ber is to be chairman, aa now. The Directors
can call special district meetings in the same
manner ns tho annual meeting, whenever in
their judgment the interests uf the district re

The other points in the proposed new law
nro similar to the present law. Women who

by proxy or in person. The District Directors
can regulate the school hours, and prescribe
such rules and regulations for the school as the

Thus have wu presented a summary nf the
points agreed upon by the Committco; and our
readers will see that there is no material change
iu Ihe old law. except the creation of the oflice
of Stale Superintendent. This feature has been
recommended by onr Governor, and we doubt
not will meet with universal commendation.

word, it would drop, each needle sharply prick
