A DANGEROUS TSIAX.
If Grant does not hold himself
bound to surrender back to the Presi
dent powers which he derived solely
from the President, he may not be
ready at tha proper time, to surrender
to the people powers which they may
Sntrust to him. If he will deceive the
President and lie to him, why may be
not deceive . the people and lie to
them ? Instead of being a safe man,
Jie is the most dangerous man in the
country to whom the people could
confide their interests. Again: If,
when he is only a subaltern, he gets
0 tight that he dances, and sings
Jim. Crow, and fights it out on the line
f a r oup tureen,, what will he do
when Le becomes monarch of all he
surveys ? It is plain that whisky will
go n and soup tureens will become
eul. .inccd. ii. value. - : .
VICES OF PUBLIC MEN,
It is now beyond a perad venture
that Gen, Grant, on a roccnt Sunday
morning, was so jubilantly drunk in
tho streets of Washington, as to fancy
that ho was in Rome bagnio at Galena,
dancing Jim Crow and chanting a nc.
gro ditty. On another occasion ho
was so befuddled that, being some
what hard-pressed, he used a soup-tureen
mistaking it for another neces
sary piece of furniture and fighting
it out on that line of qucensware.
Dick Yates, of Illinois is so much of
a sot that his own friends are begging
him to resign his place in tho Senate.
Senator Morton has been hors du com
bat by an unmentionable disease con
tracted in sinful practices. Nye, of
Nevada, is a blatcnt, blathering deb
auchee and drunkard. Chandler is a
slobbering, slovenly sot, disgusting to
his friends and a reproach to his con
stituents. Sumucr ought to be in
Loryea's Asylum in order to be cured
of a certain nameless but destrucjive
habit. No wonder his wife left him.
Cameron once obtained a seat in the
Senate by shameless bribery. Jim
Lane, of Kansas, was no infernally
mean, and had committed so many
high-handed crimes, that he finally
blew his own brains out thus add
ing tho crime of self-murder to the
manv others ho had committed. Ben
Wade is a drunken, bullying, profane
hraggart and debauchee. The wife
of Kasson, of Iowa, left him because
of his notorious infidelity to his mar
riage vows.
These are representative men of a
great party claiming to be in the ''in
terests of God and humanity." The
Washington correspondent of the De
troit Tribune, a Radical paper, says:
"A month ago, on Sunday afternnoon, the gen
eral called upon Gen. Sheridan. The last named
general, as is everywhere known, U a bard drink
er On this occasion Sheridan persuaded
him to drink with him, and the immediate result
was that he (General Grant) became a little disiy,
and took a carrnige borne. I hear that he
has taken the pledge within two or three days. I
do not attempt to excuse his weakness on the oc
casion referred to, but it is just that the exact
facts shall be stated, and I suppose that it is true
that to-day there are sot twenty men in congress,
and as many more in high positions under the
government, who have the reputation of being
sober men, yet who are visibly affected by liquor
ten times where Grant is onee."
This correspondent, in telling how
Grant got drunk, charges that nearly
every congressman gets drunk, and
also nearly every office-holder of any
note. As the offices are all filled, or
nearly so, by radicals, and as congress
is nearly given over to radicalism, it
is easy to see that they are all topers
they are "visibly affected by liquor
ten times where Grant is once;" and
as he drinks every day it is quite
plain that the radicals in Congress
are "well-set up" every day. This
correspondent states another fact that
should be noted ; and that is that the
great General Phil. Sheridan "is a
hard drinker." Of course he is, and
he used to be troubled with another
vice when in Oregon. lie "loved not
wisely but" an Indian woman on this
coast so well as to leave more than
one black-eyed pledge of affection
here in Oregon. But Grant "has taken
the pledge ;" yes, and he will break
it again, like Dick Yates did; and he
will fight it out on the soup tureen
again, it a more appropriate vessel
isn't at hand. We hope Grant will
will be nominated. Soup tureens
will be in active demand.

The Democratic party, says an
exchange, was organized in 1800,
and came into power in 1801. With
brief intervals it continued in power
up to 1661. During all this time no
nation was more prosperous than this;
no people more happy; no govern
ment less burdensome. Taxes were
lighter than any other government in
the world ; labor was better requited,
and political liberty universally en
joyed. There was Uuion between
the States, and happiness and pros
perity among the people. When bad
men sought to destroy the Union,
their blow was at the Democratic par
ty. They only hoped to accomplish.
this by the defeat and destruction of
that party. By dividing its councils
they secured its defeat. That was
seven years ago, and what have we
to day ? A broken Union ; ten States
under a military despotism, political
and religious liberty a by-word ; the
burdens of government more crushing
than those of any other on earth ; la
bor is remunerated with depreciated
promises to pay, and the necessaries
of life are of famine prices ; crime is
increased ten-fold, and vice is clothed
in purple and fine linen, the food we
eat, and the clothes we wear, the cof
fins which encompass the last remains
of the dead, are all taxed to the last
part of endurance and what have
we gained ? Nothing infinitely worse
than nothing. Is it not time that the
memory of the past awakened the
people to an ambition for a glorious
future ? What the country was the
Democratic party made it ; what it is,
is the wcrk of the enemies , of that
party. Is it not time that the people
begin to reflect upon the necessity of
bringing that party to power, and
with it, restoring the country to both
national and individual prosperity?
Tho people are taxed on their cloth
ing, their meat and their bread; on
their carpets, their dishes, their ta
bles and bed; on their tea and their
coffee, their fuel nud lights; they are
taxed so severely they don't sleep
well of nights; they are taxed on their
offices, stores and their shops; on
their stoves, on their washtubs, their
brooms and their mops ; on their
shrouds, on their tombstones, and af
ter they die, they are taxed on the
coffins hi which they must lie ; they
aro stamped on their mortgages,
checks, trt)tes and bills; on their
deeds, on their contracts, and on their
last wills ; and tho star-spangled ban
ner in mourning doth wave, oo'r the
wealth of tho nation stamped into the
grave. They are taxed on all goods
by kind Providence given; they arc
taxed on the bible that points them
to heaven ; and when they ascend
to the heavenly goal, they would, if
thev could, stick stump on their mute.
But the bondholder, like tho Irish
man's flea, isn't taxed at all, and thus
goes scot free.
Tho only way the people's burdens
can be lightened is to kick the Uadi-
cals out of power, and install the
Democratic patty again.
Thk Railroad.- Under date of tho
8th instant, the Secretary of tho "Oregon
Ceutral Kailroad Company " has invited
us to be present at tho Breaking; of
Ground for the Oregon Central Railroad,
which will take placo at Kast Portland'
on Thursday, April 10th, 18GS, at 11
O'clock, A. M.
The Secretary informs us that tho "itn
portant work to be then comnif uced will
be vigorously prosecuted." This look
some like "bizz." llopo there will be no
flash in tho pan thin time, and that the
most banguinc expectations of tho friend
of the road will be roalizod. The river
monopoly will never be fairly checkmated,
and scotched, till a railroad up tho Wil
iauictte tball have been constructed. We
cannot be present, however; as we have
not got 9Zs or MV to expend to say
nothing of time for the mere pleasure
of seeing somo soft-handed official spado
up a little dirt. By giving an Irishman
a dollar we can see that foat performed
any day, far more dextrously than thonj
who will handle the spade on the lGth iu
behalf ot the Oregon Central l'ailroad.
THE MOXTCIOUEUY Tlll tX.
The Salem liecord, referring to this trial,
aavx :
"The Alhany Drmoerat, in glrlngan account of
the Monlgomery trial, which was occasion! ty
the death of Martha Topper in this city, nays "two
Radical papers in alctn" "cLargcd that a great
cntae had been committed by Montgomery. As
that eipreMiou evidently iacludes the Jiemrd, we
deny the truth of the statement. We nerer men
tioned the man's name in that connection, ave
that he was indicted ty the grand jury here.
We made no mention
of Montgomery's politics, but from the nature of
the cane and the comments of the Itemocrat, we
tee plainly he is not a I'cion man."
It will be seen that the JUcord editor de
nies that, when upeaking of the death of
Martha Tupper, he charged that great
crime had been committed by Montgomery.
The exact language of the editor is as fol
low : "A great crime has been committed
against nocietj a life has been aacrificcd a
the penalty." It i true the editor did not ue
Muntgomerj's name in the article in which
this occurs ; but he described the "aeducer"
as a "married man of Albany," and refer
red to the "death-bed testimony" of Martha
Tupper as a means of identifying the roan
who had made her a "victim of Ifis lust."
Will the Record editor deny that he did not
mean Montgomery? Unless ho does, he is
in a dilemma from which no amount of pet
tifogging will extricate him.
The Record savs he made no mention of
Montgomery's politics, but from the nature
of the case and our comments he learns that
Mr. M. is a Democrat. We dare tho editor
to deny that he did not know Montgomery to
be a Democrat when he penned tho article
against him. it he bod been a Radical, in
stead of saying anything against him, the
editor would have held up his hands in holy
horror at the very idea. Did ho not, lat
summer or fall, condemn another editor of
Salem for saying something about another
"married man of Albany," charged with so
duction? Of course he did. But that "mar
ried roan of Albany" was a Radical, and
therefore it was sacrilege to touch him. But,
in the matter of Montgomery, he being a
Democrat, the case was chanced. The
boot was on 'tother leg. "Your bull had
gored my ox," and hence no effort was spar
ed to prejudice and prejudge the case before
the trial.
Another Radical paper of Salem notices
Montgomery's trial very pathetically and
quite lengthily; but as it is notour intention
to occupy much more space on this subject,
we shall not further notice it at present, than
to say that the article is a tissue of misrep
resentation and falsehood, Montgomery,when
charged with a great crime, by a Grand Jury
of an adjoining county, obtained a change
of venue to Linn county where he lives
and where the crime with which he was
charged was alledged to have been pcrpetra
ted. ' lie stood his trial like a man ; and al
though ably prosecuted, the jury were not
long in rendering a verdict of acquittal after
they had retired. It is possible that he may
be guilty, as charged by the Unionist bu
a jury of twelve good citizens baye paid that
he is not ; and with this decision every good
citizen should be content. v

in a speech of fifteen minutes.
Mr. Logan did not speak as well as
wo had expected; ami wo disclaim all
partisan feeling when we say that his
speech wan the poorest and the most
sophistical of any we have ever heard
him make. We think his friends gen
erally were much disappointed. As
for Mr. Smith well: we are not at
all afraid to have him continue to dis

Washington, .Ian. 7, 1B0S.
To the thrift fit inn ;
The fortunes of Oen. Onnt have late
ly received a sudden and severe check in
tho estimation of largo numbers who
were inclined to sustain him for the
Presidency. Tho fueling is not altogeth
er confined to the temjcrauee organiza
tion here (which is very large and influ-
qntial among citizens not politicians), but
extends to others, both drinkers and ab
stinent persons.
Humors have been floating about tor a
considerable time past, much to the re
gret of mot men, that Oen. (Irant has
resumed the habits which, wiiirn imlulgeu
in, have told against him, and severely
all his life, and finally resulted in his din
connection with the military service.
Subsequently, iu the walks of business
he wa.- far from succeed. Undoubted
ly he has sought to cutrol his passion
for strong drink by hal itual smoking,
which is a stimulant, and also by driving
fast horses at two race courses near here,
and unfortunately, at tin upon tho
highways. On one of thcee occasions he
drove over a little boy, who, however,
was not injured so much but that he re
covered. To this end General (J rant
contributed by donations.
The rumors that have prevailed for
some time past, concerning Oen. Grant's
hurtful indulgence in wines and liquors,
have been literally sustained by fixed
facts. He has been repeatedly tecn and
noticed in a half intoxicated condition in
the street cars and on the avenue. Hut
on Sunday last the thing reached its cul
mination. At. about ten o'clock in the
morning he was staggering along in the
lower part of the city, and at about 5 in
the evening was seen by hundreds as they
were coming out of St. Matthew's church,
at tho West end. He was accompanied,
as is supposed by the lookers on, by Gen.
Dent, his brother-in-law, and the General
was in so bad a way that be could hardly
keep his leg in trying to make headway.
What we hive stated about Oen. Grant
is literally true. Vkritan.
Later From Congr).
The following t is tho latest and most
important intelligence from Congress :
"The latest sensation from Washington
was the appcaranco of Sonator Sprague
in the United States Senate, iu broad
daylight, so drunk that he essayed to
make a speech, and had to be taken into the
cloak room, by another senator, who, as
luck would have it, happcued to be sober
enough to comprehend tho situation.
The federal Congress is radical in poli
tics." ,
.When this fellow Sprague was a Demo
crat, he was a sober man. Ho got drunk
one day, and has been a radical ever
since not only a radical in politics, but
radically drunk. He thinks Grant isn't
fit to be President, because Grant gets
drunk. There are probably other rea
sons why he isn't for Grant but this
one seems to bo conclusive with him.
With the exception of Sprague and he
is not entirely an exception it is said
the radicals in congress and Grant are to
gether that is, we suppose, all drunk to
gether. Quincy (III.) Ilcrald.

"But. Mr, ihl people liave wisely pro
vided, to the constitution iteii, a proper
suitable mode and tribunal for fettling
iuetion of constitutional law. There
are in the Constitution jrranU of p.w r
to coimresa. and restnettou on thte
poweis. There are, aUo, prohibition on
the States. honi authority wut there
fore necefcfcariiV exist, having the ultimate
jtiridictiou to fix and ascertain the inter-
pretation ui thee gr:mt.. restrictions and
prohibition. The Constitution has it-
Kelf, pointed out, ordained and established
that authority. How baa it accomplished
thut great and essential end? IJy declar
ing, ftir, that 'the Constitution, and the
lavrg of the United States made ia pursu
ance thereof ohalllc tbe supreme taw of
the land, anything in the constitution or
laws of any State to tho contrary notwith
standing."
"This, sir, was the first great tep. IJy
this the supremacy of the Constitution
and laws of the United States is declared.
The people so will it. No State law is to
be valid which conies in conflict with th.e
Constitution, or any law of the United
States paed in pursuance cf it. IJut
who shall decide this question of inter
ference ? To whom lies the last appeal ?
This, sir, the Constitution itseif decides,
also, by declaring'that the judicial power
shall extend to all cases arising under
the Constitution and laws of the United
States.' These two provisions sir, cover
the whole ground. They are, in truth,
the keystone of the arch. With these it
is a Constitution; without them, it is a
confederacy. In pursuance of these clear
and express provisions Congress estab
lished, at it very first session, in the ju
dicial act, a mode for carrying them in
full effect, and for bringiug all questions
of Constitutional jtotrer to the final de
cision of the Supreme Court. It then,
sir, becomes a Government. Yebsters

Mistake Corrected. In an article
in the Herald yesterday we stated that
the national debt has been increased
812,000,000 during the month of Janua
ry. This was a mistake. The amount
was not stated correctly. Instead of $12,
000,000, the debt was increased $19,187,
722,78. We often make mistakes, hut
never fail to correct them. The Chicago
Evening Post, a radical paper, says :
'The increase of tbe public debt during the
icoDth of January was $19, 1S7.722.7S, and for
tbe past three muntbs over $33,000,000."
The mistake we made in trying to
give the amount of the increase of the
public debt for tho month of January, is
a matter of sincere regret to us. We
said they had increased the national debt,
during that month about $12,000,000.
We were mistaken. They increased it
only S19,187,722.78. We rejoice that
an opportunity is nfforded us to correct
the mistake. It shall never be truthfully
charged against us that we have done the
radicals intentional injustice. We trust
our apology may prove, in this ease, en
tirely satisfactory to them. Quincy Her
