ALBANY REGISTER. Am V. N. MhW him for Oregon. WEDNESDAY. NOV. 26. 1873. .EDITORIAL NOTES. The French Ministry, having kindly eomented to remain In power tempo rtkrtb. the Frendi Government will go on for a few days longer. A majority of the members of the Diplomatic Corps have tendered President MauMahon their congratulations on tin prolonga tion of his term. The First Nationat Bank of Wash ington (Jay Cook & Co.), it is an nounced, will pay fifty cents on the dollar to depositors. If this be true. Andy Johnson's deposit of $70,000 in the tank will only cost him the little inn ol 135.000, However, if be gets fifty oents on the dollar, he will do well. No sooner Is there a chance for a bit of war with Spain, than up goes the price of breadstuff. If the mere chances of a little brush with another natlen has such an elevating effect upon wheat and sich, what may we expect if "stern visaged war," or words to that cflbet, does come ? The Spanish-Cuban news has set our people to talking fight at a good round rate. Everywhere, from every section of the country, comes the de mand, from all parties, that Spain must give, toe fullest reparation for her recent .conduct, or immediate and bloody satisfaction will be bad at the cannon's mouth. It is announced that Wells, Fargo A Co. have imported a number of blood-hounds, intending to organize them Into a detective corps for the purpose of going after the numerous "road agents" who have depredated O frequently of late upon their -express boxes. Great suffering 5 reported among the people t Osceola county, Iowa. Twisted iuty and seed grass is the only ifyl thai -nine-tenths of the people bare, while their goods and clotbiug Are Insufficient or the actual wants of iifo. Several women have died in childbirth Xrom want of proper food and exposure to the cold. Many fam ilies are leaving on foot, having sold their horses and cattle to keep them live. Jacksonville, Canyonville, Rose trarg, Ashland, Corvallis, Eugene City, Jiarrisburg, Portland and otiier places throughout thejstate, speak t the hock of an earttufaake thatshook them up kindly on the 23d. All these places should take warning, and their inhab itants commence laying In a supply of cooling draughts for the ''hot times" which are evidently approaching and shout to engulf them. Although the prospects for an hon orable and peaceable settlement of the Virgintu difficulty with Spain stiU continue fair, yet Government will continue preparations in anticipation of unfavorable results. Work in the different navy yards still continues to be rigorously prosecuted, and a month more will And us prepared to "go" for anything in sight. Wonders will never cease. New York telegrams state that Boss Tweed was sentenced on Saturday, Novem ber 33d, by Judge Davis, to twelve years imprisonment in the county Jail, and to pay a fine of $12,700. This is much better titan at first reported, and comes nearer being adequate to the crimes committed, while at the same time it takes every body by surprise, as uobody expected such a result. Vice-Presidents of the United States, it Is stated, have been in the habit, for years past, of absenting themselves from the last day's session ot the Sen ate, In order tliat that august body may lect s president "pro-tempore in She absence of the Vice-President." The object of this is that there ShaM never be a vacancy in the chief -executive office; for, should either the president or Vice-President of the United States die, the President of the Senate could keep op the momentum of govern- Bfew. A serious misunderstanding has oc cured between onr Minister, Gen. Sickles, and the Spanish Cabinet When Secretary Fish telegraphed the news of the execution of the Virginias prisoners, Mr. Sickles demanded a stay. The Spanish Foreign Secretary answered that he did not believe the report, and questioned Mr. Sickles au thority to act. Mr. Sickles then, in the name of the United States, protest ed against the inhuman butchery and the insult to the American flag, and demanded that Spain should enforce obedience to her orders in Cuba. The Secretary also declined to permit Mr. Sickles to discuss municipal affairs in Cuba, and the interview ended angrily. A mob, infuriated by the press of Spain, collected before the United States Le gation, and threatened Mr. Sickles with violence. The authorities succeeded in dispersing the mob. This incident would indicate the existence of the utmost hostility, on the part of the people, against the United States. The Spanish Government will print official statements showing that the further execution of the FViviih'k pris oners was suspended as soon as the order was received from Madrid. While this fact does not mitigate the first atrocities, it gives a more favor able showing for Spain. A telegram received en the 21st at New York from Madrid, says a second attempt was made to assassinate Minister Sick les by the Spanish mob, and that our Minister received a painful wound. Of course, the reception of such news created the wildest excitement every where. Onr Government intends act ing speedily and promptly in the mat ter, and it is believed that if Spain does oot make t ml and ample reparation for both the execution of the Virginivs prisoners and the insult to our flag, war will be declared by Congress at once. The greatest activity prevails in the Government navy yards, a large number of naval officers have been ordered to duty at once, and twenty of the most powerful vessels of our navy will be in Cuban waters in less than thirty days. "Pockets" Discovered. Late news from the Yakima mines state that several "pockets" have been dis covered in the diggings on Swank creek, which had revived the waning Interest in the Eldorado. Of course we wish those who have gone to the new placers the best of success, but we fear the majority will have only their "labor tor their pains" to compensate them. Jacksonville advices state that Au gust Walters, the man who slabbed and killed Parker, one of the Wilson circus troupe, at Ashland a short time since, was convicted of manslaughter at the present term of the Circuit Court, and on the 21st was sentenced to three years in the State prison. An immense meeting was held in Salt Lake City on the evening of the 21st, In which speeches were made by the principal citizens, both Mormon and Gentile, demanding the Immediate vindication of our flag in the Spanish affair. Wanted Hard Ones. A fellow wandered into a Sunday School, and took a seat among the "Primer" schol ars, when the teacher accosted him with : "Why, John, do you know what condition you are In?" Yes, ma'm in the gall ot bitterness, 'n the bonds of 'niqnity. Ax me a hard quesh'n." A Good Job.

The Spaniards claim that the Vir ginia was not an American vessel; that Ryan Was not an American citi zen, and that the vessel was engaged in an unlawful expedition at the time of her capture. The reports of violence offered Min ister Sickles by the Spanish mob, are denied. There is much talk of submit ting the affair of the Virginivs to arbi tration, the Emperor ot Germany to oe tne armtrator. A Parsons, Kansas telegram of the 21th. says that Walter S. Grayson, a wealthy farmer, living hi the Indian Territory, on Friday hist, was robbed of $30,000 in coin.
