m I'. . O01tI.iI Pnprr for OiY(on. FRIDAY, MARCH 15. 1872. The i; rni ui-, Hiilo slii;; (lie Liberal '.; ;, nl. in mi tiovi turni. Our Deinirtaaticcotempornricsare quite elated over the thought that the Gefmani of the country aregiv ing in their adhesion to the Liberal Republican movement as engineer ed by Carl Schurz. The founda tion for sneh an idea is based upon the proceedings ofGermans in Now York, San Francisco and it tow oth er places. They seem to infer that the Germans comprising these meet ings were all Republicans a very hasty interei.ee to draw. The 1 'CI' mans are not all Repirbli&tns by a jug full. 'Ihe German Catholics are nearly all Democrats, and there are many others tosides. Some .o! the bitterest, cnpicrlieads during the late "iiiplea ittues" were Ger mans. While the Republican par ty has always bail a strong, eonsist eut and vigorous support li'om a largo elass of the German element, she has afro always been compelled to expect a very unreliable support IV. m another class of that clement. There tire treacherous and unprinci pled men among Geimaus as well as among others. The supping of this class is controlled by the keen est wire-pullers and party luauipu-lato-s. 'i'he party that holds out the 'ireater inducement wins thei1 supp.'i't. Hence this element can not lie consistently claimed as sub stantial supporters by either. In regard to this Liberal Republican movement, however, there is no th ing in the meager dispatches re ceived from San Frarciseo, Xew York, etc., that justifies the conclu sion that German Republicans, in the true sen!, are participating in them. It is vastly more probable that German Democrats are the ones who are engaged in this work. The probability is rendered almost certain from the fact that German Democrats in Xew York and else where have recently passed resolu tions endorising the position and incisures of Schurz, while in St. Louis a large and enthusiastic Ger man meeting did exactly the con trary. Our Democratic neighbors may safely conclude thaj it is the Democratic Germans who are go ing over to the Liberal Republican party, and begin to prepare to nose in the same trail, for that is their destiny likewise, also. .. - Another of Urovrr" "Jtlntnk Rir- The following telegraphic eorres poi.deice entirely contradicts the telegram recently sent by Mr. Gil fry from Washington. 7'hat func tionary has been entirely to "effu sive," and as a result has "slopped over" most wretchedly.

The Salem Mercury says it is becoming more apparent every day ' that the Republicans of the coun try look iiK)ii Grant's renomii.ation as an unpleasant though inevitable necessity." Also adds "that th.ise who are making such wry taws over the renomination of the Diss ident may just as well compose their countenances. This is one of the things that muxt be and trill to." 7'he alitor of the Mercury arrives at the aWive by the same process of reasoning or thinking, which is sup posed to influence a drunken man in leading him to think everylsidy drunk Imt.him-clf. The Martin and Democracy generally have been making the "wry faces," assisted by some disaffected Republicans. They have grown dyspeptic and jaundiced If i their excessive contor tions over the thought of being compelled to submit to Grant tor another teiin, and their bluod has become so mitch impregnated with the disease, their livers lave to oomo so torpid, as to elfeet their visual perceptions, and the whole world and the rest of mankind to their seeing are tinged with a.ti (irant coloring. The Republican party has a good apotite, healthy digestion and cheerful oomplai saucy which Oie Mnruri in its present liver-gorged, jaundiced con dition cannot perceive. A thorough purge li'om a good dose of Grant ippecacuanha Would open the. eyes of that journal to the living reality, and impart some life, health and cheerfulness to its body and mind so rapidly becoming uiumniylicd. Aftir (lie ftrli' KnsrulH. The Erie Ding of Xew York has been overthrown. Gould, Presi dent of the Krie Railroad, was re quested by nine Directors to con vene a meeting for the purpose of consulting the general interests, flnancinl and otherwise, of the com puny. kmld took no notice of this. The Vice President then by re quest called a meeting. After it was over (Jen. Dix, President of the Krie Company, wrote a notification to Gould of his place in , the Execu tive Committee, with a demand for the surrender .of the books, etc., and that he forthwith cease to interfere with the duties of President of the Krie Railroad Company. Marshal Crowley, accompanied by Gen. Sick les, proceeded to the President's room, where Gould was surrounded by a strong guard of policemen, lining refused admittance, Iroke in the door, and in spite of the po lice got in. ( lould tied into another room, but Crowley followed him and succeeded in reading him the letter. Gould seemed to accent the situation, though it is thought he will make a legal tight against the new men. 7'he Xew York press regards the result asa great triumph in the interest of reform. Gould and his employees attempted to ab stract from the safe tlie books oflhe Company, but the new Hoard suc ceeded in getting all the books. The new Directors were main taining office on the 12th, guard ed by some fifty police. The present amount of capital stock of the Erie Company ws reported by the Secretary to lie $78,000,000. Later news announce that Gould has resigned the Presidency of the Krie. 7'he latest sensation rumor m Portland in regard to the remains in the Ikix purchased at the "old horse sale," is that the corpse is that of a woman. 7'he Bulletin says positive information has been received from San Jose, Cah, that Johnny Clark's remains lie peace fully in a cemetery on the banks of the Los Gates, astreologists have discovered evidences that the re mains are those of a woman, Chicago is overrun by a vilo class of rowdies and dosiPradoes.

Commission appointed by the last Legislature, lately issued, may most j of it lie put. down as a diarrhea of j very thin gabble. It publishes but very little matter of real hn-1 porUnoe but what was already known. There is a vast amount of what isntended as campaign' diet, which will prove in the end to lie j very thin gruel to the party origi-1 dating it. The Commission moral izes, and, with its partisan tongue Mapping at both ends, gabbles most endlessly on the reprehensibility of certain late officers in their careless neglect in some instances to obey the strict letter of the law; and yet this same Commission is guilty of the rtime reprehensible act w hich it i so wordily condemns mothers. 7'he resolution of the Legislature appoint-' ing this Commission did not in- xtewi it to puUitli the repoi't.

A MiiKuMr k:iil;ia tit lo tiie I'olnr NfWi A young man of wealth, good looks ami social position, a Drench-' man, of New irloans, by the name of SI. Paw. has recently arrived in i San Francisco en route, for the open 1 Polar sea, or the connection of wn-1 tors between the Atlantic and Pa-; eilie oceans, lie is twenty-three years of age. For six years he studied medicine and surveying in Paris, but lining of an adventurous turn of mind, he has concluded to gratify his longings in that direc tion by going on a voyage ol dis covery among the ice-fields of the North. The trip is to bo made at his own expense though flatteringly indorsed by the Geographical So- j eicty of -Paris, of which he is a mem- j her, the society of Xew York, and ! others. I le is to take five men with him. He will charter a vessel in San Francisco, from whence he will leave on his voyage next May. The j novel feature, however, about the j enterprise is the raft which is to lie j taken along. This raft is "made ofl india-rubber, divided into four see j tions of twenty-five feet each in' length and thirty inches in diameter, These sections are cylindrical in shape, held together by strips of boarding, covered with canvass." In the water it has trie appearance of a cigar, tapering, like it,' at both ; ends. "Its internal arrangements ; will consist of two cabins, one at j each end, in one of which will be the party's quarters, and in the oth er the sleigh dogs will be kept by themselves." This raft will lie ca-1 pable of carrying 10,000 poinds! and can be compressed in the space of an ordinary fiour lmrrel. Mr. Pavy expects to subsist on raw meat and dessicated potatoes, which are claimed to lie powerful anti scorbutics. Also compressed dried beef, and coffee and tea. Instead of hugging the American coast on the eat of Hehrinj.s Str.iits, as other Arctic explorers hav e done, it is Mr. Pavy's intention to go di rectly through the Straits and then sail in a westerly direction toward Cape Takan and in the direction of VA'rangelFs Land. He thinks this is the only route where the ice will permit the passage of a vessel, and that this is owing to the influence of the Kiro-Siwa, or Pacific Gulf Stream. At the trial of Mayor Hall of Xew York, now under way, unusu al interest was created on the 7th by the appearance of Garvey, plas. terer, as witness for the prossceu-, tion.

We commend this brief article on Xational Banks to the attention of those who can appreciate what it is to have a safe and sound bank cur rency : 7'hree or four national banks fail ing in Xew York does not seem to have any ctl'oct on tho financial a flairs of the country. 1'uder the old bank ing system such an event would re sult in a panic. 7'he notes of these broken banks are not the least de preciated. 7'heir circulation is ful ly secured by deposits of Govern ment bonds in the national treasury. 7'his feature of the national banks prevents all disturbance in the val ue of money in circulation. Nobody need have any care in receiving money, alsmt the broken bank bills. 7'hey are just as good and can nev er become depreciated. When we recollect the large amount of broken bank bills always in circulation by constant failures of the old State banks, we are pleased to knoW that the loses in that di rection are stopped. 7'here is no such a thing as shoving on the pub lie for dollars of circulation for every dollar of security. 7'lte larg est is now limited, with the Xation al Hanks, to 60 per cent, of the par value of the Government bonds on deposit. Every dollar is safo against every contingency, anil the losses to the public is unknown. Millions every year was thus palmed off on the people by the old banks, never to be redeemed. Whatever limits the present hanking system has, this feature of it alone has made it pop ular with tho public.
