negko equality.
Before the late elections took place
-elections which generally resulted
very disastrously 'to the Mongrel par
ty all the Mongrel papers of Oregon
favored, more or less positively, the
abhorrent doctrine of Negro Equali
ty. But since the election somo of
them have manifested a desire to cov
er up their tracks and give Negro
Equality the cold shoulder. The Sa
lem Hecord, though really an advo
cate of the doctrine, is of this num
ber. But the Journal, and Oregon i
on, and Unionist, arc all outspoken in
favor of the dogma.
Occasionally wo meet with a Radi
cal, of the rank and file, who does not
believe in Negro Equality. Talk
with him on this subject and ho will
tell you frankly that he thinks ne
groes should not bo allowed to vote ;
and that he does not believe that his
party desires to clothe them with this
power. We would ask all such to re
member that Congress has--already
given them that right in all the South
ern States and in all the 'Territories;
and that Radical leaders, like Thad.
Stevens, hold that the Constitution as
it is now amended, confers the right
of suffrage not only upon negroes,
but also upon Indians, Chinamen,
Kanakas and Greasers of every dis-
a
cription. Please read what wc pul
lish to-day in another column, on this
subject.
TTe need not, indeed, go from home
to obtain evidence that the chief Mon
grel leaders of Oregon are fully com
mitted to this revolting doctrine of
Negro Equality. Gov. Woods, who
5s advertised to address the faithful
.of Albany next Tuesday, boldly ad
vocated it, on the stump, last fail, in
California. Senator Williams did the
same thing in his last speech in Al
bany, and in sundry other places in
Oregon. His Portland speech is print
ed, and there is no chance for dodinj;
it, We ourself put him on the rec
ord on this point ; and our report, so
far from being denied, was admitted!
to be correct by the Oregon ian; and
that mendacious sheet ridiculed the
idea that Williams would ever deny
such to be Ms position. The Albany
Journal endorsed William's speech
entire, thereby making the Senator's
views its own; and not content with
this'it continues, from week to week,
to urge its views npon the considera
tion of its reader. Last Monday's
issue, for example, takes the ground
tthatyno matter how many or how
great victories may be achieved by
the democracy, "Reconstruction can
not be reversed." It says the suff
rage question is past all - recall, and
thatihe 40th Congress was elected to
'"settle the question forever?. ."It. says
that .what the South needed was a
jiew constituency, and that its wants
n this regard have been supplied on
ly bj tUe colored element. That is to
say, in plain English, t"ke Higgers are
better qualified to exercise the right
of suffrage than the Caucasian race.
It says that the Democratic party can
sas well repeal emancipation .or the
Declaration of Independence "as im
partial iuffraga? And the editor clo
ses his nigger article by declaring,
that he has " raasons to ; believe the
blacks alone . would : prove - quite as
good governors as tho r whites alone
have done." j
Let no conservative Republican lay
the flattering unction to his soul that
the Mongrels, with whom he is acting,
have abandoned the doctrine - of Ne
gro Equality, The late elections will
maUe the more cautious among them
thrust.it in, tire f back-ground for a

Most of our Moure! friends deny that
Dgroes are voters. Below wo givo an
extract from a httcr recently written and
published by Thad. Stevens, of Pennsyl
vania a man who has done moro to shape
the courso of the Mongrel party than any
other. Ho says :
Having thus shown that tho elective franchise
is ono of tho Inalienable rights of man without
which hit liberty cannot bo doft-nded, and that it
wa tnspended by the arbitrary constitution of
17Stf, lot us sco if that rusnvnxioii ha been remov
ed, so as to lave our hands unn-gtraiuud in rvtir-
ing its full viury while still acting undr tho (.Vu
stitution. That right appertains to evuny ritijo-n.
Eut while tho saspenion existed the natural love
of ilf.M'ctiftn indueod coniiuiiniiies to hold that
each State might flx the ijualifications, rights, and
deprivations of its own citizens.
The fourteenth amendment, now so happily
adapted, settles the whola question, nnd places ev
ery American citizou on a perfect equality f rights,
ao far as merely national rihts'and question nro
concerned. It declare thai "all persons born, or
naturalised iu the United States, and subject to
the jurisdiction thereof, are oititvns of the Lasted
States, and of the Siato wherein they reside. No
State shall make or cuftree any law which shall
abridge the privileges and immunities of citizens
of the United States ; nor hall any person bo de
prived of life, liberty, or.property without the
process of law; nor deny any person within itsju-
rt.ohettun tne equal protection of the laws.
Jf by tbo ametidid Constitution, every Ameri
can citixon is entitled to equal privilege with ev
ery other American citizen, and if every Ameri
can citizen in any of the States should bo found
entitled to impartial sufirago with every other
American citizen m any Mate, then it follows as
an inevitable conclusion that suffrage throughout
this nation is impartial and universal, 'so far as
every human being, without regard to race or col
or, shall bo found concerned, and so far as it af
fct the whole nation.
Can be who swears to support the Constitution
in all its parts refuse to aid iu carrying this into
effect without clear, direct perjury a worse erju
ry than would bavo been committed by thuse who.
under the old Constitution, could not agree to that
construction, and thus refused their ai l to their
fcllowmcn?
Again he says:
If every citizen of every Stato Is entitled to all
the inalienable rights, privilege, and immunities
tf this Government, and if ono of tho.o inaliena
ble rights is the right to ea.t bis ballot for every
man who is to take part in the fioverunicat, show
me tbe man who is so imrndent as to deny that
suffrage by the ballot is due to every being with
in this realm to whom tiod has giveu immortality.
He mast be an impudent citizen, and ought never
to profs to believe iu the existence of a Icity ;
f.r that a world could bo created and governed
wtth'ifct an overrulinr eau.a. is more feasible than
such a proposition. What would bo the effect of
conferring this just right upon every citut-n In this
republic, according to the original intentions of
our fathers ?
It will be seen that Mr. Stevens holds
that the fourteenth amendment to the
lcderal Constitution settles the question
as to whether negroes can vote. It de
cides that they are citizens of tho Uuitcd
States and of the State whercid they re
side; and that they have tho same priv
ileges and immunities of the white citt-
ns. Hence Steven concludes that
" suffrage throughout the nation is im
partial ami vnicersul, so far as every hu
man being, without regard to race or col
or, shall be found concerned, and so far
as it affects the whole nation." Stevens
thinks the Constitution now gives not on-
negroes the right to vote, but China
men, Indians, Kanakas and Greasers, al
so.
We ask conservative men of every sect.
name and party, if they endorse this doc
trine ? If you do net you must vote
with the Democratic party, for it i the
only party opposing this most atrocious
and revolting theory.
AI,1TIIE-DECEXC'Y."
The editor of the Unionist fays
that wc are an " incorrigible black-
characteristic of the leaders of the
Mongrel party. During the war they
were loud-mouthed in favor of "God-
and-monility," and yet many of them
were and are obscene, profaneintem
perate, theiving blackguards; while
others reveled iu bestiality and licen
tiousness, and under the cover of
"loilty," were guilty of nearly all the
crimes in the criminal catalogue.
The rhapsodical, grandiloquent "Thun
derer " himself, in addition to being a
bombastic nnd prurient ass, is as full
of obscenity, vulgarity and rank blas
phemy as a fat dog-tick is of blood.
He revels in all these as naturally as
a maggot wiggles in putrescence or a
tumble-bug rolls his ball. Xothing
better, however, could be expected
from a graduate of the purlieus, and
cess-pools of San Francisco,
Illegal Votes. Speakingof th late
city election the Journal says that the
Democrats imported and swore in illegal
votes. So far as wb are concerned we do
not know of a solitary illegal voter who
voted tho Democratic ticket; but we do
know of one at least who voted the llad
ical ticket. We deny the charge of the
Journal and we call for the proof. Why
have not its friends contested the election 1

Qt'AiiTZ is Oregon'. Mr. John New-
brandt, who for the past season has been
engaged in prospecting central Oregon
for gold mines, called upon us last even-
ing. from him wc learn tnai as rtcn
quartz as man could wish to work has
been discovered in Lane and Douglas
counties, at the head waters of the mid
dle fork of the Willamette Jlivcr, about
45 miles from Kugcnc City and 40 miles
(or about that) from Koseburg. About
twenty ledges have been discovered,
ainon me ricnesi oi wiucu is me
"Excelsior," which according to .hc assay
of Mark A. King, Ksq., yields the aston
ishing sum of 82,5'JG 95 to the ton of
rock. Quartz from other ledges have
also been assayed, which arc also aston.
ishingly rich. I his rich section ot
mineral land is embraced in a scope of
country about six miles in width; io fact
mineral appearances vanish after once
passing the golden lino., lhe location of
tho Excelsior is exceedingly fortunate, - as
by running a tunnel into the hill 150
feet, tho ledge can bo struck 200 feet
from the surface or top of the hill; wood
and water can also be obtained at tho
very mouth of tho proposed, tunnel, with
which to run the mine, and power to run
a quartz mill. These mines have attract
ed the attention of Judge Chadwick and
Jesse Barker, of Koseburg. The absence
of the former from home (wo saw in tho
papers that he suddenly disappeared) is
now accounted for, as Mr.. Ncwbrandt in
forms us that hi3timo has been spent in
this mining region, digging quartz and
and locating claims. Mr. N. is certain
that good placer diggings will be discov
ered in this vicinity the coming summer,
which we hope will be the case. The
Company formed for tho working of tho
ledge, consisting of the gentlemen named
and others, are determined to procure a
mill here in Portland, and as oon as a
road can be made to the mines, to imrrc
diately commence the process of grinding
the quartz ' and getting rich. Wc will
leave to our Oregon readers, and those of
the Willamette Valley particularly, to con
template the great advantages to result
from this important discovery in our very
midst. Mr. N. informs us that tho loca
tion of a town is in contemplation on tho
hill whoso bosom sparkles with tho riches
of a Poorman "as it was.'' ; Tho namo of
the hill ' is a peculiar one indeed; it has
been dubbed "Grouse Hill." Perhaps in.
a few hundred years from tho present,
some future "Bancroft will hunt among
dusty papers to ascertain the origin of
the name Wo : give it: the vicinity
swarms with grouse, live, flying grouse ;

FR Land. Linn county is almost en

of Yamhill county, is a prizo essay, deliver

inches deep. Let the ground lie in that condition
until eprintr, bo that tho fern roots will bo exposed

the ground must bo thoroughly harrowed. If you
wish t completely subdue tho farn, tho following
plan tnust be adopted s thoroughly harrow about
tbo time the fern comes up, or say ton days after
you first see it has made its appearance Then, iv
ton or Iftocn dayg after tho harrowing, plow it as
deep, if possible, as you did before. Then, .when
the young shoots of fern begin to come again, har
row aa before. ' Now let your land lie until about
the 1st of August.' Then plow again as deep as

more trouble Ono deep plowing, as first stated,
will only insure one good crop, but a continuation,
as described, fairly subdues tho worst fern."
Gold for the Government bond holders
I Rags for the people ! is.tho Radical-policy
Since the -first of -September tho Secre
tary of tho Treasury, it is reported, has
sold about eight millions of gold, from
which ho has realized cloven and a half
millions of greenbacks. What has been
done with this money? Four millions of
!il l..-t t . f .i
it, iias ueen uurucu up mat uctng tno
maximum amount of plain legal tender
ho is authorized to rctiro and destroy per
month, Tho remaining seven and a half
millions has been expended in tho pur
chase of compound legal tenders. The
accumulated interest on theso is 20 per
cent. Gonscouently tho seven and a half
millions purchased $0,250,000 of them
with tho interest thereon. The Halo of
eight millions of gold red ueed tho plain and
compound legal tenders 310,250,000, and
there is that much less currency in poscs-
sion of the banks and business men how
than thcro was one month ago. The com-
lounds having become duo the interest on
hem hud already stopped. Tho salo of
gold has therefore enabled the Secretary to
carry out his favorite policy of contraction
n a single mouth, to an amount equal to
the entire circulation ol all tho banks in
Illinois. The e fleet of this contraction is
begi n n i tig to bo felt in fina nci a! circles quite
alpably. The rates of interest in Now
Vork have advuueed ono or two percent,
and tho difficulty of obtaining money to
purchase tho proJuco ot tho West is ma
terially increased. Tho advance in the
rates of interest is taken out of tho price
realized on flour and grain, and tho far
mers of tho West aro paid that much less
or their products of all kinds than other
wise they would have received.
hat good has tho Secretary of the
Treasury accomplished by this financial
operation 1 11c has not htrengthcued the
public credit a particle. I he premium on
gold is greater than it was ou tho 1st ot
September. Tho bonded indebted ness is
not diminished, nor tho interest on tho
bonds reduced a cent by this largo sale of
;old. lie is authorized by act of Congress
o issue three !er cent certificates with
which to redeem the ix per cent com

00U, in currency, lhe bonded indebted-
tiesj would be reduced nearly ch-mi mil
lion and the interest thereon at G-J0 per
cent forever saved to the tax payers,
Honds to that amount would be taken off
the market, rendering the credit of the
government that much htronger. If th
public debt were reduced one-half the re
maining half would be worth par in gold,
and greenbacks would necessarily advance
with them to par, carrying up the value of
bank notes in the hands ot the pcordo in
the muic proportion. It ts impossible for
greenbacks to n.o higher in gold value
than bonds, and it is equally impof4bk to
ilecrci-e the discount on them any fMcr
than the discount on bonds disappears-
I rtn the first of September, IH.GO, to the
1st of September, 1807, tho Secretary f
the Treasury has retired one hundred mil
lions, of greenbacks and compound legal
tender currency from circulation, and
aiuee the first of September he has retired
fomc twenty millions more of compounds
and b'gal tenders, br lie is using hi fur
plus revenue as well as surplus gold to
tliH cud ; yet the premium on gold is
higher now than it wai thirteen months
ago, notwithstanding a currency contrac
tion of one hundred and twenty millions.
Who believes that such would bo the case
if the Secretary had let the greenbacks
alone and redeemed tbo compound with
three per cent ccrtutcatcs, and had pur
chaed one hundred and twelve millions
of seven-thirty bonds with hisppnro cash?
The transaction would have wined out
six per cent, of tho whole bonded indebt
cdnefs of the United States, and reduced
the interest thereon by raoro than eight
. if i . i
mutton rcr annum, ii uus poucy uaci
been pursued, the money market would bo
far easier than it is now, interest would
bo at Icsst two per cent, lower; and gold
would certainly not exceed Ua, because
tho bonds would be worth seven or eight
per cent more than they arc. Kightpcr
cent added to the purchasing power of
tho greenbacks and bank' notes wvul
render the holders fifty millions of dollars
richer than they are, and the holders of
tho currency comprise the whole people.
Wo conclude, then, that tho policy pur
sued by tho Secretary of the Treasury has
cost the American tax-pavers the loss of
the interest on $112,000,000 of seven-
thirties bonds; tho holders of tho currency
fifty million in tho purchasing power of
their money: the rocrcantilo and the pro
ducing classes one to two per cent on tho
interest of money, and the uso of SI20,-
000,000 of currency withdrawn from cir
culation.. This is tho debit sido of the
ledger. What credits can the Honorablo
Secretary exhibit to balance theso losses?
If there bo any wc havo failed to discover
them, and will thank him or any of his
backers to point them out. -CJiicago Tri

Oregon Central Railroad. The
San Francisco Bulletin, in an article on
tho projected railroad routes in which tho

powerful influences aro working in favor
of tho road' from Portland via Eugcno

with tho Central Pacifio road at the junc
tion of the Humboldt and little Humboldt
rivers, in Nevada. It says the Central
Pacifio R. It. Co., favors the scheme and
has "published a map showing tho diverg

of the Oregcn branch. What tho "pow
