M. II. Abbott at present tho edi
tor of the Uukcr City Democrat but
for several years previous to his as
Bumption of that position, nn asuociato
ofoursintho publication of this ia-
pei has recently matuieHteu a chur
lish deposition to attack, malign and
traduce us uecauso ne ueerns us to
have taken tho wrong position mpon
the Vallandigham Platform, aud be
cause his innato ignorance and jack
assical stupidity leads him to believe
that any one differing with him upon
any proposition must be essentially
wrong: in everything else. In his
barren expedient for argument ho was
driven to the necessity of fulminating
a lie with regard to our political
record, pretending to base his asser
tion upon the authority of Capt. X.
IJ. llomphrey, of this city. Captain
II. saw Abbott's published falsehood,
and immediately spiked tho old tumble-bug's
blunderbuss with the fallow
ing letter which brands Abbott as a
liar through the columns of his own
paper:
Amianv, Oregon, July 17th, IS71.
Editor JUtlrock ticmocrtil;
J)kak 811:: In your Wifof July 1
you refer to wine )cnon whom youus

the rations aud wearing the uniform of
a Lulled t-lales soldier, lk'llevinjr that
you rtferreil to M. V. lirown, of the
jjemoi rat, in said article, I deem it my
duty to make the following stati-incut:
That M. V. iirowtt was a sohller in
the Union army, at one time, during
tiw war, I Ltlieve. That he wan a
ltadical tit any lime, during tho war, I
tl tit believe; neither have I cverMat
ed that ueh was tlie ca-. Not wih
itir to misrepresent any peron. and
bflievin thai you woul.i not intciitlou
ally do w, aiul for the puspoHe of eor
r -'cling any misspprelu-n.Hlon that may
have arisen from any remark 1 mny
have made on the subject, aud In Justice
to Mr. Urown, you aud mj-self, I bt-g
you to give this statement a place iu
your column.
Very reepectfully, yourn,
. 1. IltilPIIREr.
After having been forced to eat
dirt and acknowledge himself a ca
tuminator by the publication of this
letter, Abbott a deep humiliation and
chagrin leads him to the pcqtctration
of other crimes against decency and
fairness and induces him to steep him
self still deeper in the dregs of dis
honor. In alluding to us he says:
"Since we quit the Albany Democrat
a pajH-r which we resuscitated and
placed on a tyms basis at no little
sacrifice he lias l-t no opportunity u
to blab us privately and publicly, be
cause he kiitfW our hand weru tid.
jandwccoulJ not protect and defend
ourseu."
In regard to his placing this paper
on a paying basis wo have this to
say: When he assumed editorial
control of the State Kights Demo
crat, in August, in 1 806, immediately
subsequent to tbe retirement of James
O'Meara, the paper had a circulation
of one tltotutind. In June, 18G9, after
Abbott's name had appeared at the
gable-end of the paper as editor for
nearly three-years, its circulation was
jost 57( a decrease in its subscrip
tion list of almost one-half! And a
large number of subscribers compris
ing this meagre list had been many
times heard to assert that they simply
continued taking tho paper to keep
tne local press irom suikmg into de
cay and not because of any feature
that the paper possessed either for in
terest or ability. The fact that the
Demorat has been enlarged in form
and has also constantly increased in
circulation since Abbott's enforced
departure from it, is a sufficient com
mentary upon the relative fitness and
capacity of himself and those who
have had control of it since he left.
It is true that we were a business
partner with Abbott during his con
nection with this paper, but his ego
tistical jealousy led him to exclude us
entirely from the editorial columns
and assign us -to the mechanical de-
partment of the office, where even his
dictatorial spirit also inspired him to
often intrude ' himself and to perpe
trate many outrages upon tbe mechan
ical rules of a priht'ng office. . And at
last, when his despicable egotism, in
tufTerable ; ignorance and gross inca
pacity rendered him wholly unbeara
ble to the Democracy of the county,
and the Board of Directors of the
State Rights Democrat Publish
ing Association removed him and
still retained ns as co-publisher with
Hon. C. B. Bellinger, his jealous rage
incited, ' bim to . wrong us in every
manner possible, even to the refusal
to pay us a debt of over $500 which
he had contracted by drawing an ex
cess of funds from the partnership re
ceipts of the establishment; while his
dishonesty led him to appropriate
the partnership funds to the purchase
of an elegant sporting rifle and to fail
to charge himself with the money so
used. As a farther illustration of his
baseness, when we asked him to turn
over to us his undivided interest in
the accounts and material of the office
to partially reimburse us for ' his in
debtedness, and which the books of
the office, in his own hand-writing
gave ample testimony that he owed,
be not only refused to do so, but per
mitted, them to be seized by the

ALBANY. OREGON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 18, 1871.
: I ! '' ' !
long )cfore ho came to Albany; and
they R-cre sold under tho hammer to
fatisf an execution in favor of A. II.
Whitcy, of Polk county, from whom
Abbott had borrowed money and
failed to pay back for the upace ot
four cars. What wo have stated
herein in respect to the circulation of
the I) imocrat while it was under his
coiitr. aud in regard to his "absorp
tion" uf an excess of tho partnership
funds of tho office, can be proven to
tho satisfaction of any one who will
taketlie trouble to examine the books
and accounts of Abbott & Brown,
which re always open for inspection
in this office. For further informa
tion in regard to his "ways that are
dark and tricks that are vain" as a
manipulator iu money matters we re
fer the curious to Hon. W. F. Alex
ander taid Mr. Joel Ketch u 111, of this
city, who have recently been com
pelled to pay a debt of $000 of his
contraction lor which they were
sniped, wheedled and cajoled into be
coming security by this Mime eaintly '()
Presbyterian and ilasxacbusetta Puri
tan, Jlilton II. Abbott. After being
associated in business with him for
three years and learning thor
oughly the mans hypocritical nature
and corrupt disposition, wo were not
Ktirpried to hear the charge that he
was a defaulter in a Minnesota Land
Office or that he had decamped from
"tho States," leaving a bill unpaid
at a t, Louis type foundry, which
bill was forcibly collected from him
lung after he came to Albany, by
Lawyer Kusscll, now of Portland.
Kelativeto the charge that we have
stabbed him privately and publicly,
we liave only this to say : To vindi
cate ourself from his falsehood told
at l'ortlaad end elsewhere, we Mated
to one or two individuals substantially
what we have written in the foryoing
in regard to our business relations
with Abbott. That we have aswtiled
him publicly we leave those who have
been constant readers of the Demo
crat ever since our connection with
the paper to judge for themselves.
Ail his sally and senseless balderdah
about 'stabbing'' and "ingratitude" is
simply 3 shallow subterfuge upoa
which to excuse the lie which Capt.
Humphrey's letter forced him to swal
low. JtaBiyliguancy is partially ex
cusable in consequence of the ignor
ance and imbecility of its author.
We regret that weliave been called
upon to writ 4 this article. We do not
desire to devote our columns to indi
vidual feuds or personal quarrels, but
as the fossilised old mud-turtle of the
JJulrork iJanocrat Las literally forced
this matter i:pon our notice by bis per
sistent and Bi:provoked attacks, we
could not longer forbear to attempt a
refutation of his barren falsehoods.
We leave it to the people of Albany
and Linn county where both of the
subjects of this article are well known
to say whelier the statements con
tained herein are true or not.
We have no controversy with Ab
bott or any otlicr Democrat upon the
policy or expediency of any measures
which may have arisen within our own
political ranks. We are both con
ducting Democratic papers and should
only work for die general good and
harmony of the party, leaving per
sonal controverics and individual dif
ferences to be stittled by such arbitra
ment as is usually resorted to by indi
viduals in the walks of private life.
With these remarks we have done
with Mr. Abbott, so far as a persoual
newspaper controversy is concerned
Tns Hiver ix the Oceas. There

is the line and the want of affinity be

DID SHE DO RIGHT?
l'.Y MARY REED CitOWELL.
A fearfully cold, blustering day jt
was, late in December, just at the sea
son when mirth and pleasantry should
have reigned uprme over their sub
jects; but a time of unutterable deso
lation to at least one woman, as she
stood alone at tho door of her late
home, with the sweeping gale, as it
dashed by laden witii tine dust, and
stinging chill, freezing her in its ruth
less pitdessncsH.
She looked up and down the long,
deserted street, that never looked
drearier than then, as she bade it a
mournful, silent good-by.
Opposite, the doors were all closed,
and in the rapidly gathering twilight
she saw the warm glow of the lires,
tho ruddy, welcoming lights that had
been seemingly lighted to mock her
own cheerless louesomeuess ; and it
seemed to her, in her bitterness, that
she could see a mocking, derisive rmile
on t he face of all Valley Point, that she,
proud Isabel Kmt, the dauuhter, aud
one 9 the heiress, of proud lawyer
Kent, was to-night to leave her home
a poor girl, to battlo with the world,
which had once been her slave; and
was now her master.
With a shiver, less of cold than dis
tress, Isabel Kent turned art ay from
the darkening streets, and into tho
hall of the large, elegant, empty house.
A single gas-burner was lighted,
sending the shadows from one place
into another, and that was all the light
t here was to illume her departing foot
step. In the silent parlors, where the rich
gilded paper and heavily carved ceu
trepieces seemed to mock tho empty
denotation, Mood Isabel's trunk, packed
and strapped, and marked ; and how
the girl's lips quivered as the light re
vealed the words to her:
"I. K., Philadelphia."
So it was there she was jroin. A
hundred miles from home; friends if
friends they were who had turned the
cold shoulder when her father's will
liad declared her worse than ixmniless
had left her fond broken heart the
legacy of dishonor and debt
It was this knowledge which had
proven almost too mnch for her;
otherwise, how finely, if sorrowfully,
how earnestly, if louesomely, hc woufd
have borne poverty and faced the
world, who owed her a living.
But everything seemed so changed
now ; even Isabel Kent had changed
from a joyous, careless girl, to a stem,
embittered woman.
A carriage rolled np to the door,
end when the driver had attended to
her luggage, and the old colored ser
vant had kisspd her gloved band, hbe
was whirled away to what ?. , she
wondered, with a mirthless little laugh,
as she sat apright in the carriage, and
watched the houses that held people
he feared site fairly hated.
At the depot she had little time to
think the crowds, the noine, the glare,
the incoming and departing trams
for Valley Point was an important
terminus.
After she had purchased her tickets
and checked her trunks she sat down
on a scat jui-t opposite the door; aud
so when Champiiey Kobcrts came iu,
she saw him before he saw her.
He came straight over to her as
soon as he recognized the black-robed
figure.
"Isabel, I am tempted to take you
away from here by simple force. I
have been to the house, but you were
too quick for me. Isabel, you will
persist in this foolishness
He had taken an empty seat next
her, but near as he was he could not
see the paling anguish that lay in her
pure, classic lace, or the flush of mo
mentary wrath thai followed his eager,
impulsive words.
"It is not foolishness, Champney!
"What should I do if I did not go to
Mrs. Cravens "
Ho .interrupted her in his quick,
bot-hcaded, earnest way.
"Where should you go to, true
enough, my darling 'r Is not my home
lonely for the want of you ? Does
not my heart cry out for you, its queen '
Isabel, there is ten minutes ; won't you
think of it again, aud let me take you
from this place to be married to me,
and my home forever? lteracmber,
tny Isabel, how I love you."
. Under the thick crapeveil Isabel's
lips grew tightly compressed, and a
slow, red bloom came to her cheeks.
It was a great temptation; she, so
lonely, so fragile, to go out in the
world, nothing but a companion to a
rich, strange woman, whoso lace she
had never seen ; and here was Champ
ney Koberts, with his splendid house,
his matchless carriage and horses, his
handsome lace, and irreproachable
character, who sat beside her. begging
her to accept of it all. ,
But Isabel was a proud woman, and
she could not brook the idea of mar
rying for a home, for gratitude, even
if the ofl'er came from the man whom
she felt worshiped her.
But for all this she did not love
Champney Roberts , and there lay the
secret of her refusals they had been
many of him. And now again, with
the chilling look out on the world be
fore her, she decided that she would
work till the death hefore she would
be the wife of a man to whom she
could not give her affections.
"I had made up my mind long ago,
Champney, and indeed it grieves me
to have you cling to me bo. ,1 am
sorry; I wish for your sake I might
view these things in tho same light
you do ; but I can't, Champney. It is
impossible, that is all. There comes
the train." ' - " - ' . . '" '
She arose, as the long train went.
Weeping past, with a sad, pitying look
atrJier brother's face, - .
,.'. AW will try to be friends, thea, Is

'Good-by, Champney. Good-by."
She was really gone at last, en voy
age for her destiny. That was along,
lonely ride, and many tears fell back
of that heavy, masking veil before she
arrived at Philadelphia, on a clear,
bright morning, when the streets were
swarming with life and gayety. It re
vived her somewhat, and she felt til
most contented when a respectful
railway official tapped her on the
shoulder and pointed to a waiting car
riage. "The driver has been asking for a
young lady from Valley Point. I
think you took tho cars there, Miss
Kentf' C f
And so shte found herself in Mrs.
Craven's carriage, and later, in ..'the
lady's presence. .
Mrs. Craven was an invalid, pansa
bly good-looking, who received her
newly-hired companion with a polite
welcoming and kind interest that would
have gone straight to Isabel's heart,
had not her pride and reserve been
challenged by the young lady to whom
Mrs. Craven introduced her. '
This is my ncice, Miss Folsom;
Miss Kent."
Isabel acknowledged the presenta
tion; and if she was stung to the
quick by the frigid hauteur ot the
manner "of the fair girl, Miss Folsom
was as enraged by Isabel's indifferently
graceful bow.
"Aunt Clara," she said, when Isabel
had gone to her roorri that night, to
weep and suffer all. tho long hours,
"shall you allow her to entertain our
visitors? she is entirely loo elegant
and aristocratic to pass unnoticed
among company."
"As often as I can spare her, of
course. Why should she not see a
little enjoyment, poor child. You are
getting jealous again, Viviaa!"
"You remember how my music
teacher foiled me in that all air with
Warren Pa vmond ? I don't care that
this proud, fair girl and I should run
a race for Champney ICoberts."
"You have no reason to know that
Champney cares for you, you never
met him over a dozen timtfs."
"True. But I care for bim."
"We'll not worry about that. Sup
pose you turn down the j,"as now, aud
send Annie for her orders."
Pretty Vivian Folsom scowled as
she passed Isabel's door.
"ishe's too pretty, too haughty, for
a servant, and that is what Mr. Rob
erts admires. Let her dare interfere
with me."
She compressed her lips as she weut
back to Mrs. Craven, in a look that
boded no good to Lalc-L
Day after day went on, and of the
score of gentlemen who had called
on Mrs. Craven aud her neice, Isabel
had seen none, for ail her kind friend
insisted upon it. , ,
Isalicl bad grown perfectly to ccrm-
tireheud Vivian Folsom, and treated
icr accordingly. Sometimes when
Vivian wanted a favor done bhe would
go to Isabel, and Isabel would do it.
Of course there was a perfect apparent
cordiality between them, while clearly
they were at swords' points.
It was one day, when Isabel had
been a month there, that in passing
the parlor door she came face to face
with Vivian and Cltampney Roberts.
I low she hated herself lor that sud
den, blush which she felt burning on
her cheeks ; but as she glanced up and
caught Vivian's scornful, angered eyes,
she suddenly grew perfectly composed
and calm.
"Isabel! is this really you ? Why,
I had not the slightest idea you had
come to Mrs. Craven's! Are you
well and happy ?"
He bent to whisper quickly the last
word. . .....' . - ' '
Isabel gave him her hand with her
old time quiet and grave hauteur.
"Quite, thank you., The friends in
Valley Point are all well ? '
"O yes, and yon can't' guess how
many of t'ucm miss you."
"That is pleasant to know. X am
in somewhat of a hurry, Champ., Mr.
Roberts, good-by," aad she hastened
on without a word. V
Once in her room, she sat compos
edly down to her sewing, while Mrs.
Craven was out for her noon ride.
She wondered if Champney had
forgotten her that is, ceased to care
for her. She asked hurself the ques
tion in a careless sort of way, and
then went on to think how handsome
ly he and Vivjan looked together,
and of a sudden a frightful revelation
came to her-flo sudden it fairly took
her breath so blissful her senses
ached with the joy, and yet eo dread
ful she thought she should not survive
it. All this in a magical second, and
the revelation was this she loved
Champney Roberts, and had loved
him all the time; and he loved not
her any longerrbut Vivian Folsom !
At that very moment .Vivian came
in, in all the blooming beauty and
stylish elegance that characterized her.
"I have come to you for . my first
congratulation. Champney says you
were once an old friend of his."
Isabel felt her eyes growing dim as
she anticipated the news, v
"I am an old friend." : Itwasallshe
said. ; But how fully, entirely, she ex
perienced the truth; of her lover's
words that nisjht tbey parted I
We've not decided on the wedding
day, but Champney is in such a hurry.
Most lovers are, I guess, But you
are going to wish tnU joy ?" ; '
"O, of course, all li the world 1" ' :-'
She wasn't very "ichthusiastio, but it
was only her, will tint caused her to
sneak : her heart wa.ltoo sore.
, "And there's anC;

ogy to Mrs. Craven. My trunks will

; She put on her hat and cloak, and
without vouchsafing a word to the de
lighted, triumphant girl, . went, out
from the house. v
have to thank my presiding stirs
for suggesting that story. I knew her
proud spirit would up in arms and
leave me a clear field to win him. I
only hope I have uttered a prophecy.
As if I didn't read aright their secret!"
She had made a slight mistake, how
ever. And r oor Isabel, her cheeks burn
ing, walked on to the depot that she
had arrived at so lately, wondering
where she would go, when a glad, joy
ous voice called her name :
"Isabel, were you going borne to
me, a you promised me to do if you
needed me tn ' ,
She instinctively recoiled 4 step.
Then, seeing there was no one in the
waiting room but themselves, she
threw back her vail and gave him the
full benefit of her indignation.
"How dare you ask me such a ques
tion when your lips have so lately
asked Vivian Folsom to be your wife?
Champney Roberts, I had thought
better of vou."
And tfien she cried. Champney
Roberts' heart gave a great bound of
delight. ...
"O, my Isabel ! Now I know that
you love me, else why this accusation,
these tears ? I have never spoken of
love to any woman saving yourself.
Isabel, you believe me? Ion love
me at last 'f
Like a solemn truth she could not
help believing, came the blessed
knowledge to her.
"I believe you. I love you."
And in the momentary desertion of
that busy, public place Isabel Kent
knew she was aloue no longer forever.
An hour later when the express
man drove up to Mrs. Craven's for the
trunks, Vivian met the two at the hall
door.
"Please send Mrs. Roberts' trunks
down, Miss Folsom."
It was true. They were married
and Vivian, was punishea."

OB
Last night Mrs. Stanton, in her
lecture, said the Democrats might, in
time, come to have a little sense and
do some good, considering that the
party had been so purified by sufferipg
for several years, at not holding of
fice, while the Republican party was
the great party of high morals, refined
ideas, and noble impulse.
"Toot-roo," Lizzy? The Democrat
ic party lias been purified ! It was
purified when C. Lyed Butler, the
spoouist, went cut of it to rob bu
betters and to insult ladies in the
South! When Grant rolled out of a
Galena gutter into the army, then out
01 the Democratic party into the Pres
ideney, as the army was purified when
be was turned out of it years ago.
And bo on down or up the line. But,
venera jle suffrage agitator, has not
the Republican party been purified,
just a little, a very little? Did not
that other Stanton, whose name was
Edward good cousin that be was
gently cut his throat one night, from
remorse of conscience? Did not Pres
ton King, in disgust with Republican
corruption, drown himself? Yea,
verily 1 Did not one Jim lane, Sena
tor, etc., cut his trroat in a drunken
fit? Yea, Elizabeth ; that's what's the
matter! Have not over four hundred
Republican office-holders,' within
thirty-seven months, run away with
over ninety millions of the people's
money, stolen from the taxpayers?
lhat is purification, most noble Queen
Mab! Did not poor, sniveling, drun
ken Dick Yates find his way from de
lirium tremens, from the senate cham
ber to the drunkard's home, to the
purification of the party of great mor
al ideas? And, good Elizabeth T.
Caddy Stanton, was not the Repub
lican party dipped, like a slim candle,
once again in tbe tallow of purifica
tion when it divorced black negroes
from white women, to give the former
suffrage and the latter a chance to beg
of the party in power as much for
such ladies as Mrs. Stanton, as for
the chicken-lifting niggers of the carpet-bagged
South? , v. :,
Purification is good give us some
more of it! Sacramento Democrat.
