ITIONCillEL LEOIMLA.TION.
Tho wires of lato have been quite
reticent ; but occasionally omo items
manage to reach the Pacific coast.
We direct attention to a ffcw of them.
Jleceritly a resolution was intro
duced into the House reciting the al
leged action of tho Montana legisla
ture denying tho elective u(Trago to
negroes, and instructing tho Judicia
ry Committee to inquire into the fact,
and report what measures are neces
sary to secure obedience to tho lawn
of Congress on the part of the Legis
lature and Governor of Montana.
Washburne suggested that tho Com
mittee bo instructed to report a bill
repealing the act of organization of
tho Territory. We commend these
facts t5 our conservative Radical
friends. You deny that your party
intends to enfranchise the negro; but
you see that whenever they have the
power they do so invariably. In all
the Territories he ia enfranchised ; and
because tho Legislature of Montana
dare to regulate suffrage to suit them
selves, Congress talks of repealing the
act of organization of the territory.
That is to say, Congress will attempt
to force the Territories to allow nig-
grs to vote. Can any fair-minded
Itniltcal, alter this, have the face to
tell us that his party .is not in favor of
negro suffrage ? It is as plain a the
noon-day sun that the Radicals will
force negro suffrage on every State
in the Union as soon as they shall
have the power necessary lor this pur
post. On the 31st ultimo, tho Committee
on the cotton tax reported to the
Senate. They recommend that for
eign cotton be admitted free on and
after next November. The effect of
this will be to enrich Eastern manu
faeturen at the expense of the con.
sumiT, They are not satisfied with
their present enormous profits; and
this is a scheme solely for their bene"
fit. How long will the people contin
ue to be fleeced.
On the 31t ultimo, a Committee ofj
he Legijdaturc of Massachusetts re
ported a bill licensing liquor dealers.
It gives power to the Mayor ami Se-
ecttnen of cities and villages to grant
licenses. This movement of the Had.
icals of that pious State is doubtless
produced by the election of a Demo.
cratic 3Iavor of Hoston. He is said
to be in favjrn of this policy. The
Mongrels will adopt any policy which
they think will win. For years they
have been denouncing the policy of
isuing liquor licenses as pre-eminently
immoral and irreligious; contend
ing that those who should Issue them
would be guilty of an unpardonable
sin. Hut just as soon as the popular.
tide turns they hasten to change.
They will do anything for ppwer.
They will sacrifice friends, principle,
country everything for place and
their own aggrandizemcni.
Half Sheet. We are aain necessitated
to issue a half sheet. We received a bundle
of paper from Salem, hut it was too lato for
thia week. Next week we shall iue a whole
sheet ; and wo have some hopes that the ice
in the Columbia river will soon disappear
thus permitting the freight that has accum
mulated at Astoria to reach Portland and
other places in the Valley. In which event
we shall receive a large supply of paper, and
will resume regular publication. If we can
do no better we shall issue half sheets till n
supply of paper arrives.
Club Meeting. We learn that the meet
ing of the Albany Democratic Club, last
Monday evening, was more largely attended
than usual ; and that the proceedings were.
characterized by increased interest, lie-
twceo four and fire hundred persons were
present, forty or fifty of whom were ladies.
The speeches were sound, sensible, patriotio
and eloquent. Some additional nam.es were
added to the club roll.

A Fizzle. Last Saturdny evening tho Ab
banr Grant Club" met in their Hall and
proceeded to business. Tho Ladies, about
whom tho Unionist editor took on so were
"non comatibut in twampuB;" that is, they
did not grace tho occasion with their pres
enco. A motion was made that tho Club or
der tho uNcu Nation " Lecture printed fn
pamphlet form. It was about to carry, when
a prodigious gentleman, smelling somewhat
trnnsrlv of Mie pill bags, suggested that it
would bo well to count up tho cost lfnr act
Ingon tho motion. After considerable spar
ring tho motion was lostj when a motion
was made that Mr. McDonald bo invited to
print his Lecture. This carried s and two
enthusiastic memWrs declared they were
willing to give all of four bits for it. Si tho
Lecturer has the unspeakable privilege of
printing his Lecturo at his own expense I
Glorious I isn't It? and magnanimous, also.

now nnseinsn, too. Artemus ward was
very "loll" none more so. He was will
ing that his wife's brothers, uncles, cousins.
and indeed nil her relatives should go to war,
and fight, and die for tho "Union and
just ft tho Grant Club are exceedingly gen
erous and I ileral. They are not willing to
expend a cent themselre in order to have
the "New Nation" printed, but they are per
fsetly willing that its author should spend
all h is worth, nr ever will be, for that pur
pose.
Tho ncx t'linx on the programme was ad
dresses. Whereat Mr. McEachran who
had served under Kit Carson arose and oc
cupied the floor for ten or fifteen minutes ;
but wo are told his effort wa a most morti
fying failure. He would say a few words
and then bo silent for several minutes, tbe
crowd meanwhile cheering him even when
he cleared his throat and spat on tho floor 1
He at last told his hearers tbt ho was no
speaker, and subsided. (Applause.)
Our friend Itucll then took the floor ;
and delivered a speech in behalf of bond
holders, &c. Several hivo told us that his
effort was "most lame and Impotent," for a
man of Lis cloth.
The crowd next called out tho editor of tbe
Journal. Had he not spoken, the meeting
would have been a decided and disgraceful
fizzle; but he managed to redeem it a little.
We hear on the streets that some of tho lead
ing Radicals swear that Pickett must " ra
mose the ranch. If they will listen to a po
litical f0 they will let him remain as long
as ho chooses to do ; for, deprived of him,
the party hero hare neither head, 'stoma:!!
nor aMominal viscera. We hope this in
clement weather will soon pass away, for we
would like ccasionally to attend the meet
ings of tho Grai.t Club and witness its high

pa$ uv: it is a giOU
thing to have
about tho house. We agTCC with the
writer who said he would sooner trust the
man whunc piety would Lend just a attic,
under pressure, and fly back, than him
who was entirely unelastic. for he would
be afraid that some time the unbending
article would snap short off. Wo do not
believe in the piety which ea, cold pota
toes on Sunday to avoid the wickedness
of cooking; nor that which never gWes
up a cent in charity for fear tho object is
not worthy. Thtre'a one of our sort of
pious chaps living up town, but we'll not
give the street for he' a healthy fellow.
He knew that home friends would dine
with him on Sunday, so he firt-d up and
had a big prayer meeting Friday evening
so as to have his Suuday duties through
with and credited up. ' That was all
right. Then, earty Sunday morning he
commenced chopping off the heads of his
chickens, for a huge dinner. That was
all right; but, just as we were going past
to attend morning service, a chicken in
band dodged from the block, and our pi
ous friend swore at it for dodging. There
he was wrong. It is as natural for a
chicken to dodge as for a man totry to
get out of jail; and our friend ought to
have dune up his swearing on Friday
night. v
Jtgy Speak ing of the violent measures
advocated by the extreme Jacobins, the
Xcw York Timet, a Black llepublican
journal, says:
"The colored race is likely to be injur
ed rather than aided, by this sycophantic
and extravagant crusade on its behalf.
They may be made for a tiffio the special
pets and favored recipients of political
power, of landed wealth, and of whatev
er else may bo the prico of their party
support ; but in the long run, their sup
port on these terms will. cost a good deal
more than it is worth. Neither tho polit
ical, the industrial, nor the social institu
tiong of States can be tuado to rest on
sucn abasia.- With every year their de
mands will become more .xorbitant; the
effect of giving them special advantages
over other classes of the community will
become more and "more injurious, and
more and more an element of social dis
cord and danger; and the reaction against
them will become stronger and stronger
throughout the Northern States. Ohio
has voted against jhem now, after two
years of congressional legislation 4a their
interest, by fifty thousand, and if the pro
gramme laid down by tho Anti-Slavery
Standard is followed up, the majority of
of Ohio next year upon the same side will
be twitje as lurge.V "
The meteoric shower on the morning
of the 14th of November, was resplendent

The captain of the Hens.ey, who was at

From tho Missouri Republican, Nov. 17.
Trf chlii a In Hi Loulfl.
On Saturday evening a meeting of the
Medical Society was held in an apartment
in the Merchantile Library budding.
After some routine business had been
transacted, a very interesting and some
what startling subject was introduced. It
appears during the past week two deaths
occurred at the City Hospital, which hare
now been disc, vered to have resulted from
tho horrible discaso produced by the tri
china spiralis, which created so much ex
citement in Germany some time ago, and
subsequently in Iowa and other sections
of this country. The trichina;, as is well
known, ore taken into the system by eat
ins: raw or half cooked pork. The fol
lowing is tho Kubstauco of tho itatemeot
made by Dr. . Dean, a member of the
Medical Society : While present a few
minutes before the close of a post mortem
examination and demonstration made by
Dr. Leffiugwcll on a subject of the City
Hospital, though not for the purpose of
discovering the caufto of death, Dr. u.
. - . - - r t . a
remarked that the muscle were speckled.
This drew Dr. DYs attention to the sub
ject, when ho saw the muscles completely
studded with tarval trichina spiralis. He
at once endeavored to get a history of tbe
caso, and found the patient was one of
two friends who had come to the Hospital
together, both suffering from general de
bility, and who were ho registered. The
one whose body he saw had suffered from
diarrhoea, abdominal pain, precordial pain,
Ac, had been treated at last for typhoid
fever, which hd appeared to nave and
from which he was. supposed to die. So
near are some of the symptoms of trichi
asis to those of this disease. As the dis
ease and thovntozoa are well known he
would have said nothing of this case, ex
cept to state it and give iu bearing, name
ly, that the disease (trichtuasis) ts proba
bty much more common than, is generally
"UppoHcd. If, on examining tbe other
body, it should be shown that his mus
cles were also inhabited by trichina) it
would, by mere accident, be fhown that
two canes excusably up posed to have died
of typhoid (inthe internal subjects there
were lung complications) which in reali
ty had died of this disease. Dr. D. said
Dr. Steele had a!o baa his attention
drawn to the dotted appearance of the
muscles, and had, as he learned this even
ing, made out under the microscope the
presence of the trichinae Partly by the
request if others ven-ed in the history of
the disease, but who thought some of the
facultv were not, and partly because of
the slight importance attached to the sub
ject by some practitioners, he would give a
brief account oi tbe entozoaandoi the dis
ease. The larval trichina, an found io the
specimen, wero free, surrounded by gran
ular matter, or by calcareous matter.
which latter forms the spindle or shuttle
shaped cyst. This lies imbedded between
the fibre of the voluntary muscles. It
docs not develope further io the muscles.
It is found in the samo way in the mus
cle, of the swine. If this flesh bo injected
uncooked the calcarous cysts are dissolv
ed by the siomach juices and the free
larvro become sexually developed and
and produced young ; one producing one
hundred or more; half a pound of meat
might contain enough to produce 30,000,
000. These commence emigrating to the
volubtary muscles (so-called) all over the
body. As they penetrate the intestines
there is a copious diarrhoea, which carries
off many of them, in, tho dejections, but
enough remain. As the remaining ones
emigrate into the muscles, pain in, and
inability to use the muscles, were charac
teristic symptoms. (Edema of limbs and
face, a typhoid condition of the system,
hiccough, if the diaphragm be iuvaded,
hoarseness and loss of voice, if the laryn
geal muscles be affected. This statement
excited considerable attention, and a brief
suspension of business took place, while
many of the medical gentlemen prescut
examined the specimens of the muscles
of the deceased, produced by. Dr. Deau,
through glas?cs. By holding up a piece
of the muscular tissue before a light,, the
little specks were plainly visible, and
some of the more youthful practitioners
present, who had discussed pork steak
and ham for supper, grew serious and
felt considerabio inward disturbance.
Tho statement is really ono of importance,
and wo have no doubt will excite general
attention. It is unfortunate that nothing
definite is known as to the history of t the
cases mentioned,' but we understand some
further examination will be made into the
matter which will probably result in some
additional information,
- Titles to Mineral Lands. The
National Intelligencer, of a recent date,
has the following : Secretary McCulloch,
in his report of 1865, 'suggested that the
principle of preemption, so long , applied
to the salo of agricultural lands in the

the careful instructions of the Commis

Democratic (Jain a in Oregon.
In alluding to the Democratic roten in
Oregon, a few djiys since, we estimated the
number at twclvo thousand. This estimate
was, of course, disputed by tho Radicals,
who make a practice of disputing every state
ment coming from a Democrat, however well
authenticated it may be. Tho following ta
ble of election returns since 1863, will show
that our estimate was much more under than
over what might reasonably be calculated :
Republican. Democratic

Tho Democratic increase in three years
was 6,893. Tho llepublican increase for the
samo time was 3,420. Democratic gain over
tho Republicans, 3,473. Tho Democratic

2,740. Tho samo rate of increase for the
two years, from 18G0 to 1868, would give the
Democrats at the next election 14,094, and
the Republicans 13,309 Democratic major-
uy i,w. in view oi me Known changes
from tho Radicals to tho Democrats, we could
saieiy estimate trio present number of Dem
ocratic voters at nearer fifteen thousand than
twelvo thousand. Since the last State elec
tion, certainly two, and probably four of tie
Republican members of the Legislature, have
renounced Radicalism. In tho last call for
a meeting of tbe Republican State Central
Committee a provision was put in for filling
vacancies canned by defection, one such hav
ing occurred within oar knowledge the

A friend at Salem writes us that in 1S62 he
endeavored to keep up the Democratic organ

in that town willing to enroll themselves as
members of the party. No their Demo

power, if ther have the will, to roll up tbe

" 3IESCEOE.NATION." A gentleman,
(whose name we withold on account of
his well-known respectability,) says a late
Detroit, Mich., paper, living on River
street, has a wife, who is educated, poss
essed of rare personal charms, and was,
until quite recently, a favorite in tbe cir
cle in which she moved. For several
months past the wife made frequent visits
down town, with no apparent object in
view, aod, when questioned concerning it,
she would give vague and unsatisfactory
answers. Finally, it transpired that the
lady's object in making these down-town
excursions was to hold clandestine meet
ings with a burly negro, who is employed
as a porter io a otore on Jefferson avenue.
This discovery at first overwhelmed the
unhappy man, and he could not raise his
courage np to the point of making an ex-
po$e of tfie disgraceful a mor, by which
the wretched wife bad brought dishonor
and shame upon both' herself and her
husband, n bile yet in doubt as to the
best course to be pursued, the conduct of
his wile became more aod more alarming,
until human nature could bear it no long-
er. it nas been tne wile s custom to go
to church regularly on Sunday evenings,
the husband remaining at home to care
for the children. When it was nearly
time for the services "to close, the negro
lover would cost himself within conven
ient distance of the church, and, when the
lady came out, would join her, sometimes
accompanying her directly home, and at
other times take long walks, if the nights
were sufficiently dark to prevent discovery.
The latter was the case on Sunday night,
but they wero watched by the husband,
aod when the darkey joined her, as usual,
the husband was close on the trail, and.
rushing up, administered a blow on tbe
thick skull of the African which instant
ly foiled him to the earth. He yelled
loudly for mercy, but the outraged hus
band paid no heed to his cries. Again
and again the heavy cudgel fell merciless
ly upon the darkey s head, shoulders, and
body,; until he ' was nnable : to offer the
least protest. In. this condition he was
left, tLs husbmd taking his wife home.
What transpired, wo do not know, and
have loo desire to peep behind the scenes.
The bruised and battered negro crawled
home, and for lught we know to the con
trary; is there yet. The gentleman made
known the-facts in the case at the police
court yesterday, in anticipation of an ar
rest at tne instance ot ma wile a para
mour;; but no complaint was made.

la December, 1865, the Rev. D. H.
Murphy was orresled in Cape Girardeau
county in this State, oh charge of preach
ing without taking the so-called oath of
loyaltv. On his appearance before the
Circuit Court his counsel demurred to
the indictment, but the demurrer being
overruled the defendant pleaded not guil-.
ty,'and went to trial, lie was declared
guilty, and fined five hundred dollars.,
Tbe defendant then moved for a new trial,
but his motion wag overruled, to all of
which thj defendent properly filed hisbillj
of exceptions and tojk the case to the
Supreme Court. It seems that the case,
has been hanging in that court for some;
time past ; and that notwithstanding the
decif ioo of the Supreme Court of the
United States in the Cummins case, di
rectly imoiviog the questions In this '
the Murphy cafe yet the prosecutor
keeps the Murphy case-in the Court
year after year at great expense to the.
State, and great annoyance to the defend
ant, and disgrace of judicial proceedings.
Well, on the 4th inst., the case came
up ia tbe Supreme Court of this State.
It was a Black Republican Supreme.
Court. We do notinean that the Judges
feel bound to decide as the Jacobin par
ty or Jacobin leaders wish them to de
cide. In the present Mnrphy ease the.
the name Jacobin judges decided that
thit MUtovri tett oath it unconttilulional
and void. ,
In rendering this decision the Court
but followed the decision of the Supreme
Court of the United States in the Cum
mins and Garisth cases. But what sur
prises us is that after the decisions of
the Supreme Court of the United States
any indictment could be found in.thrs
State against anybody for preaching the
Gospel without taking the oath, or if
found before these decisions of the Su
preme Court of the United States were
made or promulgated, why should they
be kept on the docket of any inferior
tribunal? The only answer that truth
will permit any man to make to these
questions is simply this the interest of
the Jacobin party was supposed to re-.
3uire that they should be kept on tao,
ockets of the several courts as king as
possible. This was tbe reason and per
haps the only reason, and some Jacobin
Circuit Attorneys were weak and cor
rupt enoogh to serve their party in
that way. Xitsouri Conservative.
