IVesident Grant wmk hh sliw haw
finally reached Mtmehcstcry'in New1
JHarcyshire Tire dato of tW evient is
-August 26, and the ilescriptbri there
of by the telegraph is as. folows :
"PrwWcnt Grant and party reached this ctty
tthlj afternoon, and were received at the station by
tho M.iyor in a short speech, to wkicn ho briefly
Ttpllod, and then proceeded to visit tie printworks
whera k wu welcomed by the operatives. J The
party afterwards rode through the principal streets
of the city, which were tally deceratcd. y They
left for Concord at 3 p. v.
Long before thia he has probably
xltiKted himself to the gaping multi
tude in the streets of Concord.,: While
the President is everywhere except at
"NVasldngton, his friends are excu-sing
his conduct by informing us that Mr.
Buchanan resorted every year to Bed
ford ; that President Pierce visited the
Crystal Palace at New York and that
President Jackson spent several weeks
of hi j vacation at Fortress Monroe.
But if these gentlemen , or any of them,
resorted to bathing in the sea, they
did not take the precaution to havo an
artist on the spot and they did not os
tentatiously ride through the principal
streets of the cities they visited, re
ceiving presents and edifying the boys.
The good old Peter Stuyvesunt is tho
only historical character, that offers
-anything like a parallel to Mr. Grant
For if the history be true the venera
ble Governor did ride through the
Connecticut towns "with a smiling as
pect, waving his hand with inexpressi
"ww ' -w -w aa
Die majesty ana condescension ; veri
ly believinsr "that 'the old clothes
which these ingenious people had
"thrust into their broken windows and
the festoons of dried apples aud
peaches which ornamented the fronts
of their houses were so many decora
tions in honor of his approach."
There is a remarkable likeness between
ihe reception given tho great Captain
and his party and that of 'Peter and
A is party consisting of himself and
Antony Van Corlear mounted upon his
calico mare, for sober history says that
the little children ran after the Dutch
man "in troops staring with wonder
at his regimentals, his brimstone
breeches and the silver garniture of
his wooden leg." These two remarka
ble and ostentatious exhibitions of hu
man greatness have nearly the same
location and are only about 300 years
apart. It is due to one of these char
acters to say that when it comes to
sea-bathing at Long Branch or to the
festivities of the ball-room, the com
parison utterly fails.
1TIIAT OF IT?
The Marysville Appeal quotes Brick
Pomeroy at length as favoring Chinese
Immigration in California. Mr. Pom
eroy is only hoping for an influx of
Chinese laborers in New York. If
any other citizen of the aristocratic
City of New York - and of the State
wants Chinese immigration they ought
to be allowed to have it. But if these
gentlemen propose to settle the ques
tion for California, and Oregon, that is
quite another thing. This question
should belong to the people of each
State to be effected by it. There is no
reason why New York shall force a Chi
nese population upon California and
viceverta. Neither does it matter wheth
er Mr. Pomeroy 'or any other man or
number of mm have this idea respect
ing this scatter or that. The question
is capable of an easier solution. Do
the men who work want their wages les
sened? Do the men who cxpecllo live
in this country want its -population de
graded? .That is all there is of it. If
you will designate the man who is will
ing to procure the reduction of his own
daily earnings from $1,50 or $2,00 to
40 or 50 cents per day,- we will cheer
fully concede that there are more won
ders under the sun than we are yet
aware of. Such a man is certainly a
radical, and never can : be anything
else. ' '' ' - ' "
TIII2 LATEST SEXSATIOX.
The latest sensation is created by
Mrs. H. B. Stowe's forthcoming book
the life of Lady Byron. The book
charges Lord Byron with incest with
his half7sister, Sirs. Leigh. Mrs.
Stowe's authority is Lady Byron, and
she claims to have no other. The pre
vailing opinion seems to be that, the
publication is simply monstrous. Mrs.
Leigh died some years since, having
passed tlirough life with a spotless rep
utation. And it now .remains to be
seen whether the simple statements of
a woman wholly unsupported shall be
successful in covering a name with dis
grace that was borne in honor through
life. Tho world will be slow to con
demn the 30 persons who have passed
beyond, the "opportunities of a defence,
upon the accusation of Ihe most un
happy La iy Byron, ' -

WHAT IS, AND WHAT OUGHT
TO KI2 BONE.
, The impression is prevalent that the
State Secretary is issuing warrants
upon the Ticasury without, stint. If
he does so, and there is not a doubt
... - v. t
but that he does, he ignores Section
15 of Chapter lfof tho general laws.
Clause 7 of that section empowers him
"to examine and determine tho claims
of all persons against the ,Stato, in
vases where provisions for the, payment
thereof shall have been made by law, and
to endorso upon tho siuno.tho amount
duo and allowed thereon, and from
what fund tho - same is to bo paid, itf
drdwra xcarranl upon the Treasurer for
themme."-
The parts of tho abovo quotation
which we havo italicised particularly
indicate tho officer's duty in reference
to warrants. Ho is only authorized to
draw them in cases tcherc provision for
ihe jxtymeht thereof shall liave been made
by law. Tho accounts of tho State
Printer may be excepted from the op
erations of this clause by' virtuo of u
special enactment, by which the Sec
retary ma v issue a certificate of tho
a-'
amounts for the printing done and on
his own certificate, "by virtue of his
office as Secretary of State, shall issue
his warrant on the Treasurer for tho
amount thereof." He certainly can in
no other case draw a warrant unless
an appropriation has been made.
But in Oregon at present tho law
seems to have no restraining influence,
and in fact,not much operating force
upon State officers. A conspiracy, in
stigated, or at least promoted, by the
executive, defeated the appropriations
and left the State at the mercy of auv
one whose position gave opjHirtunitie s
of pecidation. Tho odium into which
the conspirators have fallen is no com
pensation for the injury they did the
public The thing to bring most ben
efit to those who planned the disrup
tion of the assembly was the issuing of
Treasurv warrants. Had the Secreta
ry steadily refused to - draw warrants
where no appropriation had been
made, a disgraceful system of specula
tion by the occupants of tfie State de
partment could not have followed.
The unaudited claims of State cj edit
ors would have hardly offered the in
ducements or opportunities for those
operations that liave grown out of the
issue of warrants. If the Socrotarv
had refused to issue these drafts tho
probable object of the conspiracy would
have failed. As it is, he supplied the
inducemetit for refusing to issue writ
of election to fill the existing vaean-
cies. These warrants have been sell
ing as low as Co cents, and as a conse
quence the State, since its only means
of purchase was this depreciated paper,
has to buy its supplies at increased
prices. The ordinary expenses of the
State for two years are about $200,000
coin. Say that one-half of f his is paid
where the compensation has been fixed
and hence cannot be increased, it will
require $154,000 dollars of warrants to
realize the otherhalf. This makes $254,
000 upon which we pay interest at 1 0 per
cent, for say one year upon the whole
amount, and we have $279,400, $79,
400 of which is chargeable to mal-ad-ministration.
.
Take another view of this matter.
If the Secretary may issue warrants at
all without an appropriation, he may
issue , them in unlimited numbers, if
instead of issuing $254,000 of warrants
he issues double that amount and they
pass into the hands of innocent pur
chasers, the State is as liable to pay
the whole as a part. The ten thou
sand dollar bond of the officer would
be a very slight indemnity
such gigantic operations.
against
"What security have the people of
Oregon that this will not be done is
not being done ? The people have
very limited knowledge of the transac
tions of that State department. They
are entitled to have a statement of the
business of the Treasury once in six
months. They get it only once in two
years. It is enveloped in mystery
during this Jong interval. The record
of its acts is a sealed book,' that is
opened biennially. There is not a
State , of the 37 so destitute of safe
guards, so entirely at the mercy of un
principled men. The fault is not in
the law, but in the men who execute
the law. In last December the writer
pointed out, through the editorial col
umns of the Herald, a, plain and ade
quate remedy for the existing evil by
indictment and conviction of the exec
utive for delinquency in office, under
Sec. 19 of Article 7 of the Constitu
tion of the State. At the next session
of the Circuit Court for Marion County
the Grand Jury took the matter into
consideration, but having invited the
presence of the Judge in the jury
room, and requested his opinion in the
premises, they Were dissuaded by him
from finding a bill.
; If the Courts will not enforce a con
stitutional t remedy against the execu
tive in office when he fails, and refuses
to issue such writs of election as the
Organic law says 'he shall issue" or
against the Secretary of State for mal
feasance in office ; in issuing warrants
without authority of law, then .the peo
ple must wait and suffer until the elec
tion enables them to change bothtate
and "judicial officers, ' . .. ; ;

ANOTHER AGONY OVEIt.
. The telegraph can inflict us with the
International Boat Race no longer.
Tho event has transpired and the Ox
fords have won. Presently tho news
papers of tho AVorld will get through
discussing the whercforo'a of our de
feat, and then Ihe Cxford-Harvard
contest will go quietly into oblivion.
Tho fault may havo been in the Cox
swain, it may havo, been in tho style, of
rowing in ignorance of tho water or in
tho stylo of the boat. Moro likely tho
Harvards wero beaten because tho Ox
fords were tho bigger men. Modern
training seems to aim at emaciation as
tho highest form of physical develop
ment. Tho Harvards were starved on
currants and milk until they attained
an average weight far below their nor
mal condition and far below tho weight
of their opponents, and one that seem
ed to bo utterly inconsistent with tho
laws of good health.
Tho conflict seems to havo been bo
tween American currants and English
roast beef. In such a contest tho re
suit could not bo doubtful, aud that
the Americans should find their "pow
er crone" in the middle of tho race is
not wonderful. . '

ing the following questions :
1. Vasit not a singular circumstance
that out of the twenty-four jurors summon
ed by the United States Marshal to try Dr.
Smith only three were Democrats?
2. Was it not also very singular that those
three men wero prevented from sitting as
jurors on that cose by a peremptory cbal
lenge from the United States Attorney?
3. As tbe Marshal and Attorney have
their oSces together, is there not strong
presumption that this singular state of af
fairs was the effect of a collusion between
them?
4. Is it not a strange fact that Democrats
are always arraigned for perjury when there
arc lladicals woo aro guilty or rendering ex
actly similar returns of incomo?
5. Is tt reasonable to suppose that Dr.
Smith was guilty of wilful and nrcmedita
ted perjury when it took tho Honorable (?)
District Court fifteen hours to decide wheth
er, under the law, he had given in an erron
eous return ?
6. Was the oft-repeated assertion rerilied
again in this trial, that the strongest ar
gument for tho prosecution was furnished
in tho charge of tho Federal Judge to the

i . Has tho Federal Court in Oregon be
come a court organized solely for tho pur
