This bill iu its pro visions will accept all who left the army and navy and tlie Congress of tlie United States into go to the re bellion. It will grant amnesty to all others. Such an amnesty as that will suit our notion to a dot Those men wlio received their military educations from the Gov ernment, and were sworn upon lier altars to maintain and defend her integrity, and then violated their oaths, are hard v u tattle aiJi. dates tor amnesty yet awhile. PervMn Xo State Republican Convention that has ever becu held in Oregon can show upon the record of its proceed ings a greater degree of harmony than the one of last week at Port land ; none can point to results, which, in the main, have given more wide-spread and universal satisfac tion to the Republican party of this State, than it; and yet, we arc told by some of the opposition journals that the Convention was"packed ;" that it was cut and dried before hand. Now it is hardly worth while noticing an allegation of this kind, only so far as it shows to our j readersone of the most conspicuous i peculiarities of the mind of the De- inocracy a disposition to be ungen erous, peevish and little-sonled. One of the greatest tests of President Grant's success is the monthly re duction of the national debt; and yet as the monthly announcement is made from Washington, and is caught up and carried by the journ als of the country to every portion of the land, wliat ungenerous com ments are made by the Democracy ! How contemptible and ieevish the spirit that prompts them to utter criticisms at once unfair and soul less ! ' "The public debt has been extinguished twelve millions for February," comes on the wings of the lightning from Washington. "Yes," sneers Democracy, "but Grant likes a fine horse," "Grant has paid off three hundred million dollars of the national delft during his three years in the Presidency," speaks tlie electric siwrk. "Cer- j t ai i tly ," ai iswers iee v ish Democracy, j "certainly, but he smokes and and ho wanted San Domingo." "Grant's j Administration has largely increas ed the revenue while the faxes have been corresioiidiugly diminished," says the telegraph. "That's true,'' whines Democracy, "but but he spends the hot season down on the coasts of New Jersey, and and he apX)inted his father postmaster." Such are the remarks and criticisms of journals and Democrats who claim to b genuine followers of Jefferson and Jackson. The re mark that the Convention at Port land was "packed," or set up, is simply a natural outgtishing of Democratic peevishness. The news from Mexico indicate that tlie revolution is about brought to an end. Juarez has striven faith fully and hard to accomplish this , , , . , . one ui vuie. im im mMiwww end, and supported by the most re- j U) fl,ork i( liable and itriotic, as well as afflu- j , je ffc(,8 it i(j i)r tie through ent citizens, has now arrived at a j their representatives iu the Nation point iu the struggle where his an- j al Convention assembled to say who ticioations and desires seem to be Wl who shall not be their consummated. It is to be liopetl, at least, that such is the case. Blood shed and revolution, ami carnage de vastation, occurring at intervals of brief duration, have so long charac terized tlie history of tlie Mexican nation, that the civilization ot the world can wish for nothing less than its entire cessation. If the national elements of Mexico are so complete ly disordered ; if the Mexican char acter has become so demoralized and liclligeront, through the influence of repeated revolutions, as to be inca pable of centralizing a moral force sufficiently influential and powerful to maintain a government of law and order, a government of peace, it is about time for foreign aids folic ap plied to secure that result, Juarez, however, has labored arduously to restore harmony to his distracted i country, and it is to be hoiied that I Mexico may soon enter upon the enjoyment of a long period of na tional peace. A IM Law. Tlie California Assembly has passed a law intended to equalize tlie salariesof teachers in the public sclmols. It provides that women snail receive the same pay received by the men, where they perform j the same duties. This is nothing j more nor less than just, and should be the law governing in tlie employ ment of public school teachers every where. The bill will probably be come a law.

Tle President has signed the act granting preemption rights to set tlers in California. The IVcsident has nominated John Li Mayhugh for Begister of the I and Office at Elko, Nevada ; also M. P.

Tlie Vice President laid before the Senate a memorial signed by over 400 women of Utah, strongly deprecating the admission of that Territory into the Union as a State. In a letter addressed to the Yicc President, accompanying the memo rial, a committee of ladies state that a large majority ot the signers have been residents of Utah and members ot tlie Mormon Church for many years. Numbers of them have had personal and even bitter experience of the practical workings of poly gamyjiKl have every reason to lie lieve their wrong Woti'd not be righted, but greatly intensified by the admission of Utah into the Union, in consequence of giving power to the Mormon Priesthood. 7'he iapers were oidered printed. A Washington dispatch says that the It' jmWiam of the 2!ld has the following editorial : IVsidcnt Grant's posit on on the subject of nomination for the Presi dency as well as for the N ice Prcsi- j deney is this : He never asked any Piail'tKI V UVHV' mm. o that he is the man who of all men ought to lead them in the earn paign whose shadow is already uiiunms, as they decided during tlie rebel lion and afterwards when the rebellion came to au end, very good, He will accept the resionsibilty and duty to which he is called. If not, he will stand by the party ami its organization all the same. If lie is renominated and had a cho'ce of candidate with him on the ticket, he would probably select ( 'olfax. Tlieir relations have always been, as our Indiana contemporary says, ot a most agreeable character. Col fax never interfered with the Exec utive in the difficult and thankless matter of appointments and patron age, and has not as other Vice Presidents have done, asked to lie allowed any voice iu selection ofav pointmonts even to reward his own friends, and if renominated and re elected would urobably maintain tlie same .course ui future, Henry Ward Beechcr is in favor of General Grant for reromiiiation.
