The Treaty or 1856. The follow
tog is a short history of the treaty which
is creating so much disturbance between
England and .Russia :
The treaty .of Paris, , which Russia is
so anxious to have abrogated, wassiened
en Starch 30. 1856, terminating the
Crimean wst. Persons not friendly to
. the 'ex-Emperor Napoloon assert that he
was too tender to Russia during these
diplomatic negotiations, and that he sold
out England in his- aoxiety to make a
friend of Russia. 'Allowing this ques
tion to remain undiscussed, it is at least
certain, that some of the clauses made
that treaty sufficiently obnoxious to Rus
sia.' With .the purpose of preventing
the growth of Russian maritime influ
ence in the Mediterranean it was pro
vided that the Black Sea should beneu-
. tralised- that it should remain forever
open- to- commerce, but forever closed
against vessels of war, an exception be
ing made in favor of some small ships
The Black Sea being thus neutralised, it
was declared purposeless and useless for
itber Russia or Turkey to maintain ar
senals such as Sebastopol on its coast.
These were therefore forbidden. These
prohibitions were the chief points of the
treaty. Cassia : was obliged to cede a

. Tom Fitch's motion in Congress to
restore to the Speaker's table his Cen-
tral Paeifio Branch Railroad Bill ot last
session Pengra's Bill, we believe was
' rejected," December lGth.
from Viva Vece to Ballot.
.Below we give a portion of an editorial
in Wednesday's Bulletin under the above
heading:, ..' i
Among the Congressional proceedings
we find this :
"Senator Morton, of. Indiana, intro
duced a Bill which provides that all
elections for President, Vice President
and members of -Congress, shall be by
ballot. In reply to an inquiry pro Houn
ded by Senator Trumbull, Senator Mor
ton explained that the Bill was inteuded
to apply to Kentucky, and perhaps one or
two other States, where the elections were
rim voce, and not by ballot.
The Bill, if passed, will affect Oregon,
of course, as the viva voce system ; is
practiced in this Statu. The Constitu
tion of the United States, Article I, Sec
tion 4, declares : J !
"The times, places and manner of hold
ing elections for Senators and Represen
tatives shall be prescribed in each State
by the Legislature thereof j but the Con
gress may at any time by law make or
alter such regulations, except as to the
place of choosing Senators." .
In Article II, Section 1, the Constitu
tion further says :
"The Congress ni-y determine the
time of choosing the Presidential Elec
tors, and the day on which they shall
give their votes ; which day sha II be tho
same throughout the United States."
These two clauses are all that the
'Federal Constitution contains in respect
to the subject. It will be observed that
while tfie authority of Congress to make
regulations, or to alter any such concern
ing the choosing of Representatives and
Senators ns any of the'States shall estab
lish by legislative enactment, as to the
time, jilace and manner of holding the
election,' except the place of choosing Sen
ators, is explicitly, declared, thc Consti
tution is by no means the clear warrant of
authority for giving to Congress similar
right to declare in what manner each
State shall vote for the Presidential Elec
tors. But we presume Senator ' Morton
has fully informed himself in the prem
ises, and he feels confident that if passed,
the Bill will be valid and of full force.
The change from the viva voce to the
ballot system will not, we think, find
much opposition in Oregon. It will cer
tainly not meet with absolute party an
tagonism, neither from the Democrats
nor the Republicans, as many of the prom
inent men of each party have already
placed themselves on the record in favor
of the ballot system. But while either
party may hope or wish to profit by the
change, it rests, we opine, with chance,
to be decided by the future, which of the
two great political organizations in Ore
gon will really be the gainer.

Wild" Turkeys jn a Western
Town. On Saturday last Sidney., was
the scene of a streak of "sport" that
would have tickled the ribs of the oldest
"Nimrods" in the landv It was caused
by . the appearance iu our mid'tt of a
large flock of wild turkeys- actually
wild no sham. The number was var
iously estimated at from forty to sixty.
The first made their appearance iu town
near the. Dayton and . Michigan railroad
depot. Becoming frightened, they flew
directly down town, lighting in the street
near the s Burnett House, one or two
lighting directly on top of it. Burnett,,
being unfortunately absent at St. Marys
on a hunting expedition at the time, was
not permitted to participate in the sport
which followed. - A large number of per
sons were on the street corners when the
game arrived, but it was quite a while
before they seemed to realize that an in
stallment of the pre-rcquisite for a mod
ern Thanksgiving dinner had descended
like the quails of old from the clouds
above,- two weeks in advance of the time,
right into their very midst. :'But when
they did talk about makiug preparations
to repel, the "Morgan raid!" It was
nothing 10 the bustle and coofusiou that
occurred iu Sidney on tho occasiou refer
red to guns of all kiuds double ,bor
rt Is, single barrels, smooth bores or auy
other kind of bores, were spccdilv
brought into requisition. Lawyers left
their offices, merchants and clerks their
counting rooms and their couuters gen
tlemen of leisure got up from their store
boxes. Old men, young men, fat mcn,and
men, boys, woman and ehildreu, all
moved to the front and the attack ' com
menced. The turkeys, becomins fright-.
4tned at this formidable array: scattered
iii all directions over tho town. Then for
half an hour or so we could imagine our
selves down in ''Dixie, " listening to a
lively skirniivh. And running ! there is
no doubt some of the tallest on record
was done if the person could have been
timed. One gentleman on Main street is
said to have beaten "Ethan Allen's"

turkey. . It is now proposed to harness
him with a flying mate and back liim
