D. S. Official Paper for Oreg-em.
SATURDAY, JUNE 18, 1870.
Judok Boise. By a kind of political
juggling, played very low down, Judge
Boise was very nearly defeated. And
although it is somewhat humiliating, af
ter having performed the duties of Judge
ia this district and on the supreme bench
for twelve years with bach universal sat
isfaction to all parties, that he should re
ceive such a meaner acknowledgement of
hia distinguished services in that position,
vet it is even a greater gratification to be
ured there is a large majority of those
who voted against him that are not only
pleased but greatly rejoiced to have him
returned as chief of the judiciary of this
State, upon which he has reflected so
sauch honor and for which he is so em
i&tfy qualified. K. P. Boise is 'a sound
practical lawyer, not remarkably brilliant
as a genius, but possessing a mature
judgment, equably poised, abounding in
good hard practical common sense, and as
a judge as froe from bias as one in ten
thousand. The people "of Oregon, aud
particularly those of the Third Judicial
District, will breathe more freely and sleep
more soundly, now that they are assured
that the scales of justice are to be held
fix years longer in the hands of one in
whom they have the most implicit confi
dence, and whom his bitterest enemies
ever accused of malfeasance in office or
' rendering unrighteous judgments.
State Ticket. From the latest dates
it seems likely that the large majorities
Wasco. The official returns from
Wasco, received Friday morning, are
as follows : Judge 'Wilson 2 majority ;
fttvor is counted 8 majority, Chadwick
20, Fleischner and Patterson each, 11.
The Republican of Wasco contend tbat
villainous frauds were perpetrated by tne
Democrats having charge of the polls,

Costly. The three miles of railroad,
connecting the Pennsylvania Central and
Camden & Amboy railways, at Philadel
phia, cost the two companies building it
three millions of dollars. - The-road runs
through valuable property, aud costly
buildings were torn down to make a path
for the remorseless "iron horse," which
accounts for the immense cost of the road.
bo Tauntingly claimed by the Democracy j 750. -
in tho recent State election, will dwindle j From Japan. Japan has lately been
down to a bare majority. Whether this J considerably shook up by an earthquake.
te the case or not, the Republicans have
evidence of a largely increased vote, and
the certainty of carrying the State two
years hence by an overwhelming vote.
The Herald figures up 379 majority for
Mr. Slater and 56-1 for Mr. Grovcr.
Full returns are yet to be received from
Coos, Curry, Baker, Grant, Josephine,
Tillamook, Umatilla, Union and Wasco.
We have no hopes, from the manner in,
vhich Democrats ruled out votes and
otherwise abridged the privileges of
voters in counties where they had com
plete control, that a true verdict of the
whole people will be rendered when the
partial returns of the June election are
sent in, but we believe that in "spite of
these wrongs committed by Democratic
judges and clerks, the boasted majorities
will not appear. The full returns will
probably be received in time for our next
issue.

f V Dalles, June 12, 1870.
Editor Oreuomar : Democrats pre
tend that the poll books trom two Re
publican precincts have not yet come in,
and Republicans suspect that Democrats
do not intend to have them come within
the ten days provided by law. ; If they
are not in it will be because Democrats
deem it necessary to keep them out in
order to "elect" their candidates, to all of
whom they will give certificates, which
they can do with as much propriety and
more honesty than many other things they
j have done.
According to returns, majorities in this
county stand thus: Wilson 8 : G rover 3:
Chad wick o : r leiscuocr 6 ; Patterson b:
McArthur 2 ; Lasswcll 3 r Waldron,
(Rep.) Representative, over Fulton 1 ;
Savage, (Dcm.) over Rowland, 20;
Wood, (Rep.) Commitssioner, 2 j Fitzger
ald, (Dem.) Commissioner, 12; Holland,
(Dem.) Clerk, 14 ; Bird, (Dem.) Sheriff,
30 ; Ruc'i, (Rep.) Treasurer, 2.
All of the men at work on the mint
not in the county 90 days before com
mencing work were ruled out on the
county ticket, and some on State ticket.
Five votes were rejected because tjiey
had not taken out their full citizen papers
six months before the election, though
they were honorably discharged soldiers,
and had been admitted to citizenship
within the last two months.
Democrats were permitted to vote with
out swearing, although challenged, when
ever there was a doubt about their being
able to swear.
Several Republicans were driven away
by the judges, and not allowed to vote,
although they were, well known residents
The Butte (Cal.) Jerwtf provlded by iaw. We are legally and
justly entitled to not less than ten votes
on the State and 40 on the county ticket
that were rejected. e can throw out
from ten to twenty that voted their tick
ets illegally. Not less than eight (per
haps more) of their men were allowed to
vote for Representatives, and five their
entire county ticket, in other ' precincts
than where they reside.
They have beaten us only by the most
villainous and outrageous frauds. And
if we submit now we can never hope
to have another election with the least
degree of honesty or fairness. We shall
go after them and crowd the rascally
judges to the bitter end. I am entirely
confident we can make it cost them dear
ly. Upon a contest we will socure every
county official. We are going to the bot
tom, of flte matter. B
Close. The vote for Secretary of
State, from latest dates, seems to be the
"closest yet." From the count as it
stood on Thursday, there will not be
eighty votes difference between Mr.
Elkins and Mr. Chadwick. ' Mr. Elkins'
popularity carried him away ahead of his
ticket.

The volcano, Asayama, in the province of
Sinshiu, is again in eruption, for the first

The Oregonian says there can be no
doubt that iu several, of ' the counties
where Democrats have had full control of
the machinery of election, many fradu
leni votes have been polled. Republi
cans should make a note of every case of
the kind, so that the record may be made
use of in case it is wanted. Let the
names of persons voting fradulently be
preserved, and let a record also be kept
of the names of persons entitled to vote,
whom the Democratic judges ruled out.
We have heard already of many cases of
both descriptions.

the
Death in the Beer Pot. From the
N. Y. Sun we learh that. a fortnight ago,
Dr. Firmon, of Stagg street, near Leon
ard, arid Mr. Fredrick Fries, a wealthy
brewer on Bush wick avenue, Williams-
burgh, laid a wager concerning the nuni- i
ber of glasses of lager beer that each
could drink. It was stipulated that the
man who drank the least should pay the
score. .. They adjourned to the nearest
lager beer saloon and began the contest.
Each glass was sandwiched, it is said,
with a draught of KLschwasser, with a
view probably of nullifying the intoxicat
ing effects of the beer. They drank, it is
said, amid the applause of the spectators
assembled to witness the exploit, and at
each libation responded to the approving
plaudits ot their Iriends by waving their
glasses above their heads. At the thirty-
fifth round it was evident that Firmond's
stomach Was painfully inflated, and that
Fries was also a sufferer. Still the
champions imbibed. Glass after glass
disappeared. When the Doctor vanquish
ed his fiftieth glass, a friend, it is said,
called or rather carried him out . to
visit a patient. Tho brewer, having com
pleted his fifty-fifth potation, reluctantly
rolled himself homeward, to renew the
campaign another dav. The neighbors
say that Dr. Firmond i never left the
house from that day until he was borne
to his grave. Whether the brewer died
of spontaneous combustion or of joy at the
victory he had won, is not known, but it
is certain that the funeral of Fred. Fries,
the wealthy brewer of Williamsburg, took
(.place on Sunday afternoon, from hia late
residence, on Hush wick avenue. It is
rumored in the neighborhood that much
indignation is expressed by the families
at the. conduct of the saloon-keeper in
presenting a bill for one hundred and live
glasses of lager beer, and an .equal num
ber of Kirschwasser. He is beginuiug
to fear, however, that de monish is ver
toren, and threatens to sue the estate of
Fries for the amount claimed. The exe-
I cutioner, however, contends that Fries did
not lose the wager ; and the family ot
Firmond say that he would have returned,
and ultimately proved the victor, had he
not been taken ill, and thus incapacitated
from renewing the contest. And so the
case Btands. Williamsburgh is minus
two estimable citizens, and the landlord
his little bill.

The city of San Francisco, a Demo

known as the SouthernJPaciric. Railroad
Company. There is a little bit of inter

Don't Like It. Our Democratic
friends don't like the hill for enforcing
the provisions of the Fifteenth Amend

Infamy' In the first instance they de
clared that such a measure was necessary,
that without it the negroes were not en
titled and would not be allowed the priv
ilege of the franchise, and now that the
required action has been taken just
what they asserted was requisite they
forthwith boil over with indignation !
The great objection urged to the bill is
that it provides measures for its own en
forcement, and prescribes pains and pen
alties for its violation. Here's where
the trouble comes in. IF men are to be
held accountable for outrages committed
at the ballot-box, Democrats will suffer,
and at once the specious cry is raised :
"the liberties of the people are being
wept away !" Without such provisions
' as contained in the bill, the law was in
operative and of no practical use, said
j these Democratic demagogues, and this,
probably, was the kind of legislation they
particularly desired. If Democrats pro
pose to do right, and aro really opposed
to any obstructions to the rightful use of
the franchise, then their objections to the

reciting that whereas opposition to mo
nopolies and to the voting away ot the
peoples' money was one of the cardinal
principles of the party, therefore the anti
mouopoly Democracy would oppose pro
positions to give the said railroad company
a subsidy. But this resolution was
squelched by the cautious members of the
Committee -and the party deserted the
"principle and usage of opposition to
granting away the people's money to mo
nopolies ;" and now wc have it that the
measure has been ratified by a vote of the
people of that Democratic city. A clearer
case of going back on an "ancient land

Our sheep raisers are' now hauling off

of the country outside of the lumber
trade, and sheep raising is admitted to be
one of the most profitable businesses that
a man can engage in. An acquaintance
of ours has sold wool and wethers enough
to pay the cost of , his original stock,
twelve months ago, and all expenses since
that time, and now has one-third more
sheep than he had to start with. This,
we think, is the best profit on money we
