The following is a pointed satire
upon Radical policy :
A succinct hn tory of reconstruction
comes to us in a Southern paper :
Which is it that's the liest govern
ment tbe world ever seed? Oeorgy
ought to have found out by this time,
having run some fourteen or snore
since Dixie went up : First, territory;
second, provisional; third, no govern
ment (just slosh in round loose like a
stray dog;) fourth, military; fifth,
military and civil mixed ; sixth, in the
United States one-fourth ; seventh,
plum out, etc.t down to the fourteenth
which started out trying to run a
sorter double-barrel fixiti' that is,
civil when it suits, military wlifrn it
don't, and it suits and dow'ta about
every dow moon:
There was something unexpectedly
sarcastic in the recent reply of a crim
inal, when asked by the court if he was
guilty of larceny :
"Jio sir; are you?
"Prisoner," said the ruffled magis
trate, "don't you put on any airs with
me, or I Jl send you down for con
tempt of court. 1 asR you again are
vou guilty?"
"And i tell you no !"
"But this man says he detected you
in the very act of larceny."
"Yes, sir; but I was fooling him."
"Fooling him ! How do you make
that out? '
"Just making belisve as you do
sometimes."
"Sir, what do you mean?"
"Why, tbe other night, when you
were staggering on the streets, some
folks thought vou were tight, but I
know you were only making believe?"
Nok-payino subscribers are thus
talked of by a Wester editor: Wag
ons can't run without wheels, boats
can't ran without steam, bull frogs can't
jump without legs, or a nespaper car
ried on everlastingly without money,
no more than a dog without can wt
his tail when he has none. Our
subscribers are all good, but what good
does a man's goodness do when it
don't do any good? We have no doubt
every one thinks that all have paid ex
cept himself, and as we are a clever
fellow, and as his account is a little
mutter, it makes no difference.

WAY AXl 1YA KEE.
We are crojiblv iuformcd that the
Captain of the IlaHie C. 'jietme htatod,
in the presence of a number of yen tie
men iu thin city, that on the lute voy
age of his vchhcI to China, Sam 1'oy,
the a'cut of Yva Koe, told him that
Wo Kce had entered into a contract
with Don Holladay to furuiith' a lure
number of Chincmi laboreris to work
on the railroad, and that' the return
cargo of the Ilaltus 6 . Uetmc would be
the lirbt iiiKtallment of thotra laborer
This coufinnti what we utinerted when
thirf Vc'SHol first lauded in Portland thin
load of human vermin. Wo (stated
then that we bulieved theue to be
"Hollnday'a reserve' to be kept back
until he had made uuo of his while la
borers ut the polls in June, and then
to be Bubtittitt-d for theui. , Wo no
ticed then that Holladav'H orrau did
not deny this charge, and now we have
the exphtnatiou of its silence. "It
darrd not denj it. It is not ! particu
larly scrupulous about what it says,
but there are limits even to its hardi
hood in assertions. It had not the ef
frontery to controvert what it knew to
be a fact, when it knew also that tbe
priMf of that fact would certainly ap
pear utter the election.
It is uudotibtedly true, as bum I oy
stated, tliatWa Kce and Ik-n Holladay
have already made the contract for the
employment of Chinamen on the-railroad.
Wa Kee is carrying out his part
of the contract now, and Holladay will
complete his part after election. The

stallment of these laborers, those Com
U'o by the Jlcrman liixAor will be the
second, and two others will follow
shortly. These four cargoes will fur
nish a thousand Chiuamen to asint in
Hmrjpcriziii the already languishing
labor interests of the State. They will
prevent the employment of white men
on the cotiHtructiou of the railroad, and
after that work is linUhed, they will
concentrate alout the thrifty, decent
towns of the illamette alley to poi
son their economical and moral inter
ests. Thousuuds more will follow
them, too, unless the people rise in

A DUO
TORVe
The Lawrence, Kafiasat'' Ti iboc
nasa''
rives the following-talc of a Jog;
Some time since a family started from
usii:ugton county, Iowa, with an
emigrai t wagon ami their household
effects, for a new home which they
were to make in Gentry county, Mis
souri. The journey was long and oc
cupied many days. With them was
an old dog that had for many years
been one of the household. lie had
always lived at the homestead, and,
with a strong attachment peculiar to
his race he seemed loth to leave it.
However, he followed tho train .of
movers until they had reached the log
house that was in future to be their
home. For an hour the dog wander
ed about restlessly, witnessing the un
packing of goods, but when morning
came he was missing. Days passed on
and he did not return, and he was sup
posed to have met with an accidental
death. Some wie'is afterward a friend
who had lived near the old homestead,
passing by, saw and recognized in a
wretched skeleton-liao object, the dog
of his former neighbors. He had re
turned to his old home, made dear to
him, probably by youthful memories.
The strange land, had no attractions
for bim. Ho had come home to die.
All attempts to ooax him away from
the spot were unavailing, and ho wast
ed away and finally yielded up the
ghost,' In reaching the old home he
travelled over four hundred miles, and
swam the Iowa and Skunk rivers.
We wero morally certain from the
first that something would come of it.
As a number one prophet we are an
unequivocal success. The matter of
which we write is just this: Some
time ago a pretty little girl waltzed in
to the Iowa House of Representatives
and, by virtuo of an appointment
somehow obtained, located her Gre
cian bend iu the chair of the Engross
ing: Clerk. And now it turns out that
she proved just about the most en
grossing clerk that ever wielded a
goose-quill in that or any other baili
wick. Iho honorable gentlemen in
general were badly smitten with the
charming " kitten." But they all got
the mitten, and thus they were bitten,
except one yonng member from the
country. And he circumvented her
by flattery. He squinted over her
writing, and told her she was a chiro
graphical success; that her hand was
a most desirable one, and her "is
the finest ho ever saw. She thought
of dotting the " i" of the honorable
member from Skedunk, but changed
her mind and name by marrying him.
JNow they arc but thavs their own
business. -

CEXTRAEIZATIOX AND COX
CSREMff. The most prominent difference dis
tiuguising despotic from free govern
ments, lies in tho fact that the former
centrolizes all power, whilo the latter
permits of local or provincial govern
ments in all matters purely provincial.
In our system tho frameraof the Consti
tution went beyond the English prac
tice of permitting to their colonies the
exercise of a limited local authority;
changed the name of Colony to that of
State; and instead of limiting the lo
cal government of I ho State, limited
tho powers of the central government.
Under a central, system, especially
when extending over a vast territory
like iiuru,' with reprewntation baed
upon lMjpulation, it is evident .that a
combination between one or more sec
tions having a comparative preponder
ance in influence, might, by obtaining
control of the central government,
rule despotically other sections of the
country,, and by unjust legislation
force tue latter to bear more tban their
just r roportion of the excuses of the
government. 1 his is exactly what has
been and is now being done by the
Radical Congressmen at 'Washington.
From the first there was a large
party iu the United States in favor of
abolish ng State lint s, aud centralizing
ail power in the Federal liovernment.
The Radical is the successor of tho
Federal party, and having at last ob
tained power, they hovo with all pos
sible speed proceeded to give effect to
their cherished creed of centralization.
They have stripped the States of the
most imttortaut of their formerly en
joyed rights; are still engaged in the
work of emasculating State authority,
and, at present rate of progress, will
soon make State Government a mere
farec. Thev have taken from the
States tho right to control tho sutT
rage, and even refuse them represen
tation iu Congress unless they will
send delegates vthoso olitical ideas
accord with those of Congress; and
they seem determined to stop their
warfare ujon local self-govermenl
only when thei is nothing of it left,
and then, as a finishing blow, declare
the State goverments aliolihhed.
But this even is not the worst fea
ture of this attempt to establish a cen
tral or despotic government in tho
bauds of Congress. Already tby have
taken from the President his legitimate
Iiiciogalivos, and made cf him, like
England's Queen, a useless but costly
appendage of the Government, and
they have plainly notified the Su
preme Court mat it is a nonemty.
ion! v allowed by sufferance, and
tbat
Ut ill, At itf allows itself out of any
ridiculous regard for oath of office, or
law, to decide any Act of Congress
unconstitutional, bo summarily abol
ihed. The work goes bravely ou.
Congress is now, in fact, the Govern
ment, aud exercises all of its powers.
o see the result of this theory of
centralization in the universal corrup
tion of Congressional legislation.
Being now absolute, it regaids only
the welfare of itself and will prolong
its existence, by legislation, to the
ver'0 of revolution. All of its acts
are done Itom greeu oi power ana
from avarice; and hence it enacts laws
exclusively in tbe interest of capital.
hen it fails in lU efforts to perpetu
ate itself and its members retire to
private life, they will go home, with
purses so heavy ana consciences so
seared by long practice oi every spe
cies oi venaity aud corruption, mat
the execration of their countrymen,
fated to follow them, will pass by as
the idle wind. S. F. Examiner.

adopted the following resolution ap
pealing to the dignity and self-respect
of the white race to preset vo itself
fiom the degrodation of political nmal
gamation with the blacks:
" That as the enemies of the Con
stitution. haviusr failed to restore the
Union, re-establish the Government,
and uivo the peeple peace,' now de
clare that they are unequal to the task
and s. ek to bring to thoir support an
aid wh ch the Democratic party do not
court, a race, which is only to te, in
tact, the instrument by which the en
emies of the Constitution can main
tain power at the sacrifice of the Con
stitutional government established by
the fathers, the Democratic party asks
the governing or white race in the
United States to save itself from the
debasement of being ruled by the ne
gro and thus forced to live under a
svstem which Poland, Ireland and
Cuba would reject."
The Suicide Mania. The rapid in
crease of the crime of suicide in this
country has grown alarming, and
leaves us but little cause to wonder at
the hari-kari custom prevalent among
the Japanese. The old idea, that its
occurrance is always to bo attributed
to insanity, is no longer tenable, in
view-of the abundance of testimony
we have of the contrary. One pecu
liarity about its victims in this coun
try is. that they are far more numer
ous among the intelligent and middle
class than .among , the ' ignorant, and
nnncmallv among those known as
" free-thinkers." It would really
seem that, " that, fear of something
after death," which staggered Hamlet
from hi3 purpose, is the very sheet-
anchor of humanity, and once de
6t: oyed, we are tet adrut without any
Self-sustaining influence, hopeless, aud
at the mercy oi all the petty trouble1

TARIFF
A marked illustration of the une
qual and iniquitous operation of our
tariff system is furnished in thn orf iVU
of salt. The fishermen of Masnacbu-
setts are allowed to use salt free of all
duties. During tbe third quarter of
18CU the fishermen of Gloucester dis
trict, in Massachusetts, withdrew from
bond, without the payment of duties,
B,0",' pound of salt, the import
vaiue 01 wnicn was ?y,3U7. Tho reg
ular duty ou that would have , been
$14,4-10 18; gold. Tor the salt which
cost Massachusetts fishermen only
$9,307, would have cost the tork pack
ers and farmers of the West $28,080,-

We, of California, have to pay 200

aland salt. Tbe practical working of
the system is strikingly illustrated by:
a statement of ComnuBsioxier Well-
"that if the Government were io ex
act its duties like tithes in kind, it
would require that each vessel arriving
in the United States with a cargo of
foreign salt should be accompanied by
two other vessels, each of equal capac
ity with the first, to convey the duty."
This is protection with a vengeance.

Franklin Muzzy, the old iocuinhent, who
has dared tu do his duty. It must he
CoufcKftCd that he had oSeudcd during the
year a large nuoiher of Democratic voter.t,
and his election was considered very
doubtful especially as Dr. K J. Bonnie,
decidedly the uiust popular Republican
in the city, was to run sgaiott hiru. 'J he
booming caooon on Friday aunouueiag
the ratification of the Fifteenth Amend
ment and the gathering of the colored
troop", was but the announcement of the
dctth knell of the Republican party here.
It uu'led the Democracy, whilo it ducr
guuized the Republicans.
But two ycari eioce I he people of this
Stale pronouoccd against negro suffrage
by a majority of near OO.OuO; yet the
Legii-laturc, composed mostly of foarth

Ou iho morning of election every one of

in two or three exceptions, voted the

the Republicans elected oue Alderman

The Democratic candidate for Supervisor

declaring he would uot qualify if elected.
otwithutaudiog fitly negroes voted the
straight Republican ticket, tho Democra

commenced. A large nortion of the Re

abolition of slavery, and that having been
accomplished, they never did, and never
will consent to be governed by them, and
hereafter will be found in the Democratic
ranks.
The Shadows of Empire thicken,
every week adding to their gloomy por
tents. We have already a ceutralizcd
government, limited only by the discre
tion of Congress. This discretion must
also lea ma concentrated. The Iran
iiion to an empire at once would be
too abrupt, and, perhaps, attended with
violence. It ufust be gradual, or hasten
ed slowly, and uothing could have been
conceived better calculated to facilitate
the result than the bill before Cougrcss
to establish a system of national educa
tion. M illiooa of dollars are to be expen
ded anuually ; thou.sauds "to teach tho
young idea how to hoot" in accordance
with the wishes of tho governuieut. The
lust section tells the whole tale and points
die moral. It makes it optional with the
Preside , whether the system will not be
introduced into all the States, and he is
u-oihed with absolute power to decide
whether any State system meets his views
and wishes, and, if not, the national
ych cine will he niado, to supercede it.
