V. s. Official Paper for Oregon.
FRIDAV, APRIL 4. 1873,
Co In, Democrats.
Since the Herald publislted its
Holladay article, several Demo
cratic journals have charged it with
having been bought. The Herald
retaliates on some of them, those
who have recently, like the Enter
prise at Oregon City, come out
with something new, and chai-ges
that while it has maintained its in
tegrity to Democratic principles,
has refused to be manipulated by
" the sorehead Republican clique,
manipulated by Corbett & Co.,"
that these others have been influenc
d by substantial inducements, and
hence their ability to come out in
new dresses, purchase new presses,
and so on. . We are in favor of
maintaining peace in our own Re
publican family, but when Demo
ratic journals oegin to fall out and
lash each other, we believe in
cheering them on, striving to get
them so hot that they will let all
the cats out of the bag. We have
been wondering how so many Dem
ocratic organs could purchase new
outfits, right in the midst of such
unprecedented hard times, and it
this fight can only be continued
long enough, and intensified, we
doubt not the whole thing will
ctone out.
The members of the dental pro
fession throughout the State met at
Portland last Saturday and organ
ized a State Dental Society, elect
iog the following officers : Presi
dent, Dr. J. II. Hatch, Portland;
Vice Pres , Dr. L. S. Skipp, Salem ;
Cor. and Recording Secretary, Dr.
Vim. F. Thompson, Portland;
Treasurer, Dr. J. Welch, Portland.
After organization Dr. Chance
read a paper upon gold-pointed in
struments to be used as plnggers,
explaining their superiority over
steel. The next meeting of the So
ciety will be held at Salem on the
last Wednesday iu June. The
subject for discussion then will be
"Exposed Dental Pulps and their
Treatment." Dr. Gray, of our
city, was also appointed to prepare
and read an essay before the Socie
ty at that time.
It is now thought the country has
beard the last of the Ku Klux. It
is nearly t-vo years since a case of
violence in the South has been
traced to that organized conspiracy
against peace and good order.
Southern men believe the e-a of
good feeling may be hastened in
certain portions of the South, by
Executive clemency being shown
towards Ku Klux conspirators now
confined in Northern prisons. We
doubt not the I'resident will show
uch clemency, when he is satisfied
such results will follow. "Let us
have peace," is the chief aim of the
Administration.
Boston formerly thought well of
the great scientist, Agassis, but since
he said that Harvard " is no longer
a university it is only a tolerably
organized high school," she has lost
her conceit for him : to tier lie is
not much of a man any more ; in
fact she thinks he is a very ordina
ry man,
Iowa mail-carriers are said to be
closed by wolves. Wouldn't it be
veil to import a few to Oregou ?
We have been reading an article
lately on "Christian Statesmen,"
which treats of the prevailing dis
position to scoff and sneer at Chris
tianity, because of the shortcomings
of certain public men, who are
luded to as "Christian Statesmen."
This writer says, in substance, that
if gentlemen who have hitherto
borne the reputation of being up
right public servants have failed
from the high standard fixed tor
them by the public, the failure
should not be attributed to their
Christaiu principles, but to a lack
of them. If the charges against
them are true, then' they were riot
"Christain Statesmen," and the fling
at Christianity is out of place. If
the charges are false, then neither
the man nor his principles deserve
censure. This writer more directly
and forcibly continues : '"No Christ
ian statesman has fallen. None
will tall. Men may wear the cloak
of heaven to serve the devil in, and
the keen eye of the public may d
tect the disguise and strip it from
the hypocrite, and turn him out to
receive the deserved scorn of the
world. But these men were not
Christians ; and to attach their vil
lainy to the church is as mean as it
is unjust."
Look out, tobacco " chawers."
The U. S. Internal Revenue law al
lows no person or persons to sell or
dispose of tobacco iu any form, no
ntaU.tr how little or great the quan
tity, without'lpayiug first a license
of $5. An Eastern journal says
this renders it unlawful " for tobac
co chewers to beg a chew." Just
think of that being so. Wouldn't
there be (.-weeping and a-wailiug
and a-gnashing of teeth among that
numerous class ot tobacco-hungry
mortals, who never buy any ? Oh
dear!

Another fearful marine disaster
is reported. The steamer Atlantic,
from Liverpool to New York, on
the 1st inst., ran ashore about 20
miles from Halifax on Meagher's
Head. She had 850 steerage and
30 saloon passengers, and her crew
numbered 142, and 140 stowaways
were discovered. Of all these only
about 300 were saved. The cap.
tain and third officer were saved.
Only throe or four cabin passengers
were saved.
An exchange, after publishing
the statement that the Japanese are
about to adopt an American patent
scaffold and gallows, says : " But
if the American system of punish
ment for murder is adopted, one
scaffold will do for all Japan, and
never wear out."
