Wrent Victory.
The most brilliant victory that has
liver been awarded to a political party
in a Presidential campaign, has jnst
leen given to the Republican party.
The most crushing defeat that has ever
been visited by the suffrages of the
jeople npo,i any party In the nation,
was administered at. the polls last
Tuesday upon the so-called Liberal
party. The eamMiign of the latter
was made up of unfounded charges
Rnd abuse against the character of
General Grant, but the ieople by a
unanimity unannelled in the history of
Presidential eleitlons.1 ave pronounced
their disbelief In the charges which
were made. They have done it by
nuniliers so (treat that the opposition
h left entirely without room for retort.
Think of over thirty States in the Un
ion giving large majorities for Grant
and Wilson electors. See Pennsyl
vania heading the list with 125.000
majority over 25.000 more than the
population of Oregon. See Massa
chusetts with over 73.000; Illinois, so
hotly contested, rolling up 50,000, and
soon. Look at the grand aggregate
of nearly rO.OOOin twenty-nine States
now (Thursday) reported for Grant.
The result is absolutely gigantic in its
tremendousness. It is too greatly big
to celebrate over. The opposition Is
so entirely nowhere that one teels
ashamed to throw up his hat and yell,
a sort of pity for them coming over
one ; and yet it Is grand, glorious.
It teaches a lesson that the opposition
and the whole people will not soon
forget. That principles guide the
choice of the American people and
not men. Greeley. Rrown, Trumbull,
Sumner. Sehurz, and the rest, and
leading Democrats, will long remem
ber this, clearly taught lesson.
Three Month Free ebol.
The recent legislature enacted a
school law which is a step in the di
rection of progress. By It provisions
three month's free school are provided
in each year to the children of tlie
State. As first enacted by the Repub
lican House, it provided for i months
free school in each year ; but the Demo
crats, in the Senate, true to their party
record in this direction, amended the
bill so as to cut the time down to three
months, and possibly defeated the
practical operation of the hill entirely
by refining to go into a joint conven
tion to elect a Superintendent of Pub
lic Instruction. It is to be hoped this
latter is not the case, and the three
months free schooling in eaeii year
may le enjoyed by the children. But
why this opposition to the hill r It
has been a matter of conjecture to us
to determine the real reason of this
opposition to the free school system.
These same men voted for bills grant
ing large sums of money to build roads;
were anxious to pay nearly a million
of dolhrs in rent, etc.. for the Locks,
and to do much work ot this diameter,
but when it came to providing for the
intellectual culture of the children,
thevwere opposed to It. Are roads
and locks, etc., of more importance to
this State than intelligence, than vir
tue ? It would seem so by the votes
of these men. It la strange, bat never
theV true, that men who object most
to " "lug a free school tax to provide
eoi!;f -table and decent school houses
am' vi1 'ml teachers for the education of
the1' children, will lavishly expend
th' ir money in training a flue horse.
fattening' fine hogs, or something of
this kind. They thus estimate tnese
ttHff of greater moment than the
welfare of their children. This ought
not so to be. The Intellectual and
moral culture of humanity should be
first in importance, and everything
should be made to contribute in tltose
directions.
The Jews of New York are seriously
thinking of transferring tlielr religious
.services -from Saturday to Sunday.
Several of tlielr synagogues through
out the country are now open on both
days.
The Litigant Repeal, Vetoed.
The Governor of the State ot Oregon
has shown a zeal to prevent the cor
rection of past acts of injustice, truly
energetic. Two years ago a Demo
cratic legislature, disregarding the
claims of justice, and gnlded by a
burning desire to footer the Interests of
the Democratic newspaper?, passed an
"Act to protect litigants." It was
copied from an Act of a like charac
ter which had been enacted by ft Dem
ocratic Legislature In California, and
has-been commonly designated as the
'Litigant Law." By the operations
of this law, a few Democratic journals
have beetl granted the exclusive privi
lege of publishing all legal advertise
ments required by the laws of the
State, We say i-selvitirertiiht. tor u
printed in any other journal, tlie pub
lication would not amount to a legal
one. For this, tnese "seiecr journals
have often charged the advertiser from
two to three times more for his legal
advertisement than other papers would
have done. In the first place it took
away from the legal advertiser tlie
right of choosing his own medium, or
niiier, in which to advertise, and in
tlie second place it auuilM him to
pay more than efrtuMs as much as the
work was worth. So obnoxious and
unjust was this law regarded in Cali
fornia, that, In a large degree, It in
fluenced the election of a Republican
Governor and Legislature there at the
last election for State officers. Among
tlie first acts of the latter, on assem
bling, was the repeal of this law. and
the repeal was swiftly signed by the
newly elected Governor. This act met
with the approbation of every honest,
fair-dealing man In California, and
was heartily applauded by such in
Oregon, who were familiar with its
injustice as seen by them in tlie practi
cal workings of tlielr own law. Influ
enced by this general feeling, onr late
legislature repealed tlie obnoxious
measure of this State, some Democrats
voting with the Republicans for the
repeal. But. unfortunately for us, we
have a Democratic Governor. He; in
fluenced bv one of his marvelous swells
of Democratic wisdom, vetoed It. In
this be has affected to discover tliat
the holding of the office ot a litigant
printer amounts to a franchise vested
for the time named. He does not say
this Is his positive lielief. for lie cau
tiously nes an "if" In Introducing the
proposition ; but Hie Intention of His
Excellency is evidently designed to
convey sucli impression. To show
that this proposition is not good Dem
ocratic logic, we simply refer our
readers toan Act passed no farther back
than two years ago by our then Demo
cratic Legislature, by which certain
officers in Portland. Police Judge, etc..
were turned out of their offices long
before tlie time tor which the people
had elected them, had expired. If it
was not a violation of the State Con
stitution to do that thing then, why
Is it so now ? Tlie difference is here :
Then, a Democratic Legislature did
the business. Now, the repeal comes
from a Republican legislature. This
is the difference, and to Governor
Grover, and small demagogues ot his
complexion, tlie difference amounts to
a Justification, howniuclisoever the
contrary may appear to upright and
fair-dealing men.
Our TruuetHloiiN Uovemor-
A jwrteiitions rumor is floating in
the air to tlie effect that should Grant
and Wilson lie elected. Governor Gro
ver has a veto prepared to squelch it.
Of course tlie veto Is predicated upon
constitutional grounds. It is thought,
too, that the terms of agreement late
ly arrived at by tlie Geneva Tribunal,
are not altogether satisfactory to His
Excellency, the Governor of Oregon,
and a veto to that may not lie consid
ered improbable. The constitution
will be the guide in this, also. Wheth
er His Extraordinary Highness will
countenance tlie proposition of the
French Assembly, in Paris, to make
Thiers President for life, can hardly
foil to become a matter of tremendous
anxiety to them, and the rest of man
kind. He may not consider tlie mat
ter of sufficient moment to prepare a
veto, but the Constitution will furnish
him ample argument it lie chooses to
do so. It Is unlimited hi its applica
tion apparently with some.
The Woodhnll and CImHIb.
It will be noticed in our Eastern
news that those notorious and shame
less characters, Mrs. IVoodhnll and
Claflln. have been arrested by the
United States Commissioner, Osborne,
on affidavits made by Albert Ander
son, P. O. Cleric, Mr. Word, of Brook
lyn, and F. W. Reese, clerk in the
h4epmhnt office, who swore to the
sending off of offensive publications
by the accused. The proceedings were
first taken against them by L. C.
Chailis, a broker,, whom they had
made the subject of a vile and scanda
lous article. They have not confined
their vile charges to brokers, but have
circulated the most Indecent and wick
ed calumnies against distinguished and
honorable clergymen in New York city
These are the elm rges preferred against
them, by New York journals, and a
wholesome application ot law in all
such cases, female as well as male, is
demanded by the moral sense of the
country. The statutory penalty for
sending obscene literature through the
mails is imprisonment for one year
and a fine of one hundred dollars.
Anson fc In Bhnaath,
The trial of Lloyd at Leesbnrg, Va.,
upon the charge of poisoning her.chil
dren, has resulted.' much to the disap
pointment of her prosecutors, in her
acquittal. The evidence in this case
showed that a physician had prescrib
ed bismuth for one of the children,
and an analysis of tlie dose which was
given to the child produced arsenic in
as large quantities as was charged to
have been given by the mother. The
evidence turned on this chemical fact,
and the mother was acquitted. Though
arsenic is found associated with bis
muth, to find it in bismuth is a new
discovery, it would appear. The dis
patch says druggists, doctors and peo
ple generally are considerably attract
ed by the discover', and it is conjec
tured that this metal will no longer be
used in medical practice.
The IMflerenee.
According to a letter printed in the
Salem Statenmm, there are fifty-six
persons in the State Penitentiary who
were under the influence of liquor at
tlie time the crime was committed for
which thev were sent there ; twenty-
six persons were reduced in eireum
stances by the use of strong drink, and
thrown into evil practices resulting in
crime ; eleven are Indians and China
men, and six sober men. The writer
of this letter claims that he made a
careful Inquiry, and these figures may
lie regarded as correct. By this is
shown how small is tlie proportion of
temperance men who go to the Peni
tentiary, as compared with the intem
perate, or those who drink liquor.
ProiuptneiM.
The money awarded by the Geneva
Tribunal is to lie paid by England to
the United States in one year lrom the
date of the award. The men who lost
their ships and cargoes by tlie Alukana
and otlier cruisers covered by the
award, will thus soon receive from our
Government their proportion of the
$5,000,000. The Government is now
making preparations to distribute this
sum to the rightful claimants, so soon
as it shall be received. A government
less careful of the interests of its eitU
z, ns, might easily put off Hie distribu
tion, and in fact ii"ver pay it over to
them.
Tlie keepers of the Ward's Island
Asylum, N. Y., must lie taken from
the lowest order of brutal humanity.
Not long since we read of two of the
inmates dying from the effects of
brutal treatment from one of the keep
ers, and now another case is given to
the public. A keeper named McDon
ald is alleged to have put Louis C.
Samuels in a cold batlij l and then bru
tally kicked him in the stomach, from
tlie effects of jvhleh the victim died.
Such deeds Ire revolting in their
heartless cruelty and inhumanity, and
ought to subject the pen trator to a
permanent contraction of breath at the
end of a halter.
Tlio most astonishing tiling in the
whole business is the election of W m.
F. Havemeyer. Mayor ot Newlork.
This was accomplished by the Com
mittee of Seventy uniting with the
Republicans. New York now has a
Republican Mayor,
the msmx IS OBBBOK.
From the best advices up to Thurs
day evening, we give the majorities
for Grant in the different counties
heard from in Oregon :
Benton. 148.
Clackamas. 241.
Douglas, 200.
Lane. 230.
Linn. 87.
Marion. 808.
Multnomah, 870.
Polk. 100.
Washington. 315.
Yamhill, 197.
This makes a total of 3.193. The
counties yet to hear from that will
give Republican majorities, will prob
ably swell tie majority to 3,500. If
tlie leretofore Democratic counties
shall go back on the Sage asdoes Linn.
Grant 's majority in Oregon will fall
little short "of 4.000. This being' the
case we suggest the propriety ot a

Greeley will get no electoral votes

and Arkansas, and a nortion of these
are as likely to go for Grant as tor
Greeley. IfGreeley should carry all
the States mentioned, he will have 8S
votes out ot the 386 in the Electoral
Cellege. But we are till of the opin
ion (Thursday) that Missouri and Ar
Kansas will go tor Grant, reducing
Greeley's vote to 67.
A new schism has taken place in the
