ALBANY REGISTER. J IT. S. Official I'sfper tor Oregon. SATURDAY, NOV. 22. 1873. EDITORIAL MITES. Upon application of the prosecution, the great TWUboine case of England takes rest for one year. The manufacture of pig and wrought Iron is to be carried on at Ogden ou a large scale. Right Worthy Grand Master A. J. Marshall lias been asked for a dispen sation to institute an Odd Fellows lodge at Forest Grove. Extreme cold weather is prevailing la the Easteru States, while the average Webfoot still seeks the sliady side of tbe dwelling, about noon. MeMahou, of France, desires the Assembly to prolong his office as President, to seven years. It remains to be seen whether the Assembly can see it in that light. It is now stated that the rebellion in Cuba is kept alive by wealthy young Cubans, the slaveocracy, who aid in keeping up the rebellion to prevent the emancipation decree of the Madrid Government from going into effect. On the 17th, in New York city, Robert Parten, one of the jurars in the Stokes case, was arrested, charged with taking a bribe. If the charge is substantiated, ninety-nine years in Sing-Sing at bard labor would be none too good tor him. Further legislation for the Territory of Utah will be recommended by Pres ident Grant In his forthcoming mess age. Legislation is badly needed in Mormondom, to relieve judicial mat ter from present embarrassments. Matters in Mexico are still mixed. General Zepeda, deposed Governor of the State of Coahtiila, is organizing State troops at Saltillo, and another conflict between him and the friends of the State is anticipated. Railrcad schemes still engross the attention of Costa Rica. Congress has Approved the new contract with the great railroad builder, Ilarry Meiggs, to extend the railroad to the Pacific, the old contract not providing for such extension. Another big thing for Meiggs. There are 17,000 miles of railway in the United Kingdom, which cost 2,- 800,000, gold-165,000 per mile. Nearly all the lines are furnished with double tracks, and on the majority jsteft rails are laid. Tracks of different railways never cross each other on the same level, but always use viaducts in passing oue over the other. Great Casar! On the 19th, says the dispatch, In New York city, the jury iu the Tweed case brought in a verdict of guilty, on all the counts ! The de iense made nociception to the verdict, and the jury was discharged. Tweed's counsel Is attempting to obtain an ar rest of judgment on the ground of want of jurisdiction of the Court. A before remarked, "No other country everaaw such times!" Boss Tweed Ls certainly not in his usual luck. Why, Stokes discounts Tweed. Tbe Spanish war vessel, Tornado, which captured the Virgimux, was built on the Clyde for the Confederate service. After the rebellion she was sold to the Chilean Government, then at war with Spain, but was captured by the Spaniards when on her way to Chile, and has since been in the Span ish service. The Virginitu was cap tured by Uncle Sam's forces at Mo bile, and at tbe close of the war was old by the Government to a citizen of tbe United States. Madame Loyson, the beloved spouse of Pere Hyacinthe, is a wonderful woman. We aw dumb with admira tion at the energy with which she sup ports the radial doctrines of her heretical husband. Two months since tbe cable informed m that she had presented the Fere with a son. The Kngllsb Weekly mil, cf October 4th, announces that she "last week pres ented Pere Hyacinthe with a son, for whom the ladies of Geneva are making up a purse." And now a cable dis patch of yesterday an nounce that on fitturckysbe presented Pere Hyacinthe with a son. It is rood so far as it wans, but what will bis reverence do if keeps up." Latest News.

The grind depot of supplies for the North Atlantic fleet will be at Key West, Florida. A heavy gale prevailed at Halifax, N. S., on the 19th, sending two vessels ashore. The London Daily Nem advises the Ill U I -II IIV.CIIHIIVH V" w ...... ..w v. S. ill the Virginius affair. The motion for a new trial of Dr Glass' case will be heard in Portland to-day The canals of Canada are frozen solid, and the roads are blocked by i terrific snow-storm which still prevail ed on the 18th. Put, Smith, ol Portland, has bought a farm in Walla nana vailey, ami in tends investing in the sheep business up there. On Wednesday, at Portland, a man named Stone walked off the Stark street ferrv into the river and was drowned. Boss Tweed's thefts in New Yoik city of millions of dollars, costs him $4,000 and four years in the peniten tiary. The report that 57 more of the Vtr ginivs prisoners had been shot is not confirmed. There have oceu no more executions, but the trials, are proceed ing. Dick Richardson, several years ago in Congress from Illinois, has assumed editorial charge of the Quincy (111.) Herald, which he proposes to run as a Bourbon organ. Mary Jane, daughter of Jacob and Amanda Kiblinger, aged 18. with whom her father is charged with hav ing committed incest, has been ad- j'ldged insane, and ordered to the In sane Asylum at fcast rortianu On Wednesday George W. Coggan and John . she para, gentlemen con nected with opposition stage lines be tween Tenino and Olympia. W. T., had a personal rencontre. No serious damage nothing beyond a little hair pulling ami scratenmg, reported. Donald McKay, the famous Warm Spring scout, recently left Fort Klam ath for the Umatilla Reservation where his brother, Dr. McKay, is stationed as Medical Officer for the nuroose of arranging tor a tour through the cities of the East with a party of his braves, and giving public exhibi tions of war dances, etc." The effective Spanish force in Cuba is said to be 5,400 men. Fears of a famine are entertained in Bengal. The internal revenue receipts for the year foot up $114,000,000. It is said Spain will make every effort to settle the Virginius affair.

On the 20th. at Pittsburg, a defal cation of about $175,000 was discov ered in the accounts of tbe Secretary of the E. ft B. M. And F. I. Co. The renort that Boss Tweed had been sentenced is denied. The report that he had been tried at all will probably be denied. Nothing is impossible with the telegraph. Tbo little speck of war, that now looms up between this nation and Spain, on account of the atrocious acts of the cowardly Cuban officials In the Virginius affair, is beginning to effect all ranks and classes of our people. The account of the barbarities prac ticed by these Spanish officials upon Americans had hardly been conveyed across the continent, before the same electric wire conveys the news of mon ster meetings, called together as if by one impulse, to condemn the outrage and insist upon immediate and full reparation. "War! war!" is the cry of the American people ; and we are inclined to the belief that if Spain doesn't "rise to explain" immediately, Cuba, with the aid of Uncle Sun's children, will he helped to set up in the goerninental business on her own hook. Ccba TO be Frek. A Washington telegram ot the 20th, says the Admin istmtioii sees its way clearly in the Cuban matter, and while war will be avoided, the probability is that Cuba will be free. The Navy Department is ordering officers to the Franklin, Colorado, Brooklyn and Dictator, all of these vessels being under orders for Cuban waters. The stage between Baker City and La Grande was stopped recently, by three road agents, Wells, Fargo & Co.'s express box taken, and the stage ordered to drive on. The box con tained only about $150.

From Paris wc learn that the As sembly has adopted an amendment prolonging Mac.Mahon s term to seven years. Much excitement prevailed in Paris thereat. The Cabinet tendered their resignations, but Mac refused to receive them. A prairie lire, covering a scope of over sixty miles, lias been raging in Kansas since Sunday. Great damage has resulted to the Central branch road ; bridges, houses, barnes, grain, stock, etc., have been burned. The Atchison, Topcka and Santo Fe roads, have suffered, and the Central branch road could.run no trains until the 19th. A High-toned Bootblack. A New York paper tells this story: "They pop in and buy a box for twenty-five cents, never ask credit and away they go. Sometimes one returns in a few minutes to buy another, his cloth ing torn and his face scratched, having met an envious fellow-bootblack and butted boxes. One of these shavers meets another with whom he lias a bone to pick, and grasping the box by the step slashes away. Something must give way, and when one of the boxes caves in, the boy with the sound box is satisfied." A story is told of a bootblack who bought five boxes in one day. He had peen doing a flourishing business, and was said by his rivals to be "a little too high-toned ' for them. One night lie took hi3 sweetheart to the Bowery Theater and procured reserved seats. This action made the blood boll in some of the otlicr "shiners,' who peered at him frcm the gallery, and all agreed that he had gone too far. Early the next morning the aristocratic bootblack was up and at work. It was not long before five or six brother artists were around Din, ready to rtiin his box. They accused him of "putting on aire," and the fight began. The box was ruined, and the victim's cap thrown into a butcher's cart dashing by, and the boy went to Miners for another oox The box met the fate of the other, and four times that day the boy bought boxes. He promised never to be caught in a reserved seat again, and his friends say he kept his promise FINANCIAL AND COKHBl1AL. Gold in New York, 109. Legal tenders 909910.
