Tho Utic.i Herald, Congressman,
Roberts' paper, gets off the following:
"Behind and beneath tho principles
which are- typified m the republican
party there has been another con
' trolling reason for its success : tho
purity of its leaders." This is the
ghastliest joko of the season.
Tho St. Louis Democrat sug
gestively remarks that one of romo
foy's predecessors as Senator from
Kansas, the notorious Jim Lane, com
mitted suicide in anticipation of an
exposure which would not have been
. One-tenth as damaging as that upon
tho heels of which "Old Pom." re
turned to Washington to "cheek out"
his remaining month.
The republican party lost, char
ncter by working out no betterrfstates
mamdiip, to effect its own continuance
in power, than to array tho entire black
race of the south against' tho whites
and to perpetuate thus a social and
industrial disorder there which pre
vents the south from sensibly lifting
at the burden ot oar public debt of
over $2,0Q0.OUO,O0O.
"I am glad to say to you, dear
"brother, that Senator Harlan is regular-
in his attendance at church, and
his influence is in the right direction,"
wrote Chaplain Xewinan of tho
United State Senate to his clerical
brethren in Iowa during, the identi
cal canvass in which Mr. Durant gave
Harlan two checks of $5,000 each,
with which to bribe legislators and
secure his re-election.
The president is severely criti
cised by newspapers of all parties
for pardoning the notorions Phila
delphia repeater, Brown, who went
round to the ballot boxes last Novem
ber and voted under different names.
Brown was justly convicted by clear
evidence, and bis pardon is regarded
as a clear license to himself and oth- j
ers to repeat the offense as often as j
party needs may require it. I
In a candid review ot the report j
of Judge Poland's committee, the j
Jlohatcli J'alley Remitter tin Js notb- j
ing "'creditable to the intelligence or I
candor' of those gentlemen, and J
thinks the supposition that "even the j
most innocent of those implicated did j
not know that the object of placing j
the Credit Mobiiier shares was to
influence votes is an insult to the
average member's intelligence."
Nast, the caricaturist for 7Iar
pers WetKy, lamented that Lis oc
cupation was gone when Horace
Greeley died. But now, surely, a
better field is open for pen and pencil
in the disclosures of the Credit. Mo
biiier. What could be a better sub
ject than Colfax pocketing his check;
followed by the Colfar preaching to
the Young ilen's Christian Associa
tion at Phiadelphia, and the temper
ance society at Baltimore. ' It were
far tetter to caricature a hypocrite
than to libel honest old Horace Gree
ley. The post master at Xew Orleans
was seeenllv arrested for embezzling
18,338. Ills assistant has' been ar
rested as an accomplice. Tho post
master has been one ot the men so
deeply engaged in trying to fce,;p the
State of Louisiana under the control
of the national government, and no
donbt his political services will le
counted in bis favor in the condoning
of his crime. There has been too
much of this in years past, and it is
high time that a change was made
and political influence not be used to
clear criminals.
Will the people consent to the
stigma of that last national scandal?
Will they tamely acquiesce in such a
disgrace? Arc they willing to go on
record as having reached already snch
a depth of degradation, such a col
lousness to honor and integrity jn
public servants? Heaven forbid ! If
Credit 2Iobijier- arc to be unpunished,
where is any safely for the public in
" terests? A bolder, more gigantic
fraud was never perpetrated. If the
eonspjrators go nnwhipt of justice,
then every great rogue will hope for
a similar escape.
A difference of opinion has ap
peared between the Cincinnati Com
mercial 2nd the Louisville Courier
Journal. The latter Journal is con
fident that Speaker Blaine is a candi
date for the presidency, and that the
Credit Mobiiier investigation has
cleared the way for him. The Com
mercial says however, in the most
positive terms, that Eliha B.
Washburne will be the next republi
can candidate for the presidency.
The editors of both papers have been
in Washington recently, and may be
understood as (speaking by the card.
Think of the cant and hypocrisy
that was in those abominable lies told
of Greeley during the campaign,
about his paying the Confederate
debt if elected, 'in view ot the fact
that now the very men -who yelled
the very loudest over these vile false
hood) are proposing to pay 123,000,'
000 that carpet bag and negro vaga
bonds have stolen from the- south.
This nation would scorn the thought
of paying the Confederate debt, but
that was created by war in which
men risked their lives and shed their
blood, while the present debt has not
one scar to show for it, for every dol
lar was 6tolen by a'set of men every
one of whom 'should Jjg hung. 33 a

The Bulletin h attempting to throw
the blamo upon Democrats of tho
passago of the bill increasing tho Con
gressmen's salaries. It intimates that
the Democratic members of tho House
and Senate could khave defeated it if
none had voted for it. Aro not the
Radicals in 'tho same plight, and a
much worse one ? I lava they not had
a majority in Congress tor years, and
could they not have defeated any
measure they lelt disposed to? It is
evident tho majority party had no
disposition to defeat this infamous
act, and the stupid, sordid and selfish
President has aided it in becoming a
law. That is, a President has given
his sanction to a law that puts $100,
000 into his pocket. This is the kind
of a President we havo now. Does
any one suppose that thcro evor bo
foro sat in the presidential chair a man
who. would countenance an act that
was to put directly in his pocket this
amount? of money ? it would bo a
scandal upon tho ofhee to snpposo IL
i o i iionesi jjemocrai wouiu voit
tor a law so infamous as this lias been
made, by the clau so making it tako of
fset on March -rth, 1871, so far as tho
members of Congress aro concerned.
Any man who would thus vote, is
only tit to become a ring thief, and
tho aider and abettor of tho Credit
Mobi!ier swindle. The people could
expect no better things of this Con
gress than the white-washing of tho
terrible corruptions of the last ten
years. Tho people will have to make
examples of these men as fast as they
rrnt fit f1ifm "

We are informed that tho citizens
of Astoria have organized au associa
tion called the "Astoria Citizens'
Club," for the purpose of co-operating
with the farmers' clubs throughout
tho Willamette Valley and to furnish
such information as may be called for
by the different clubs, and to correct
any mistatemencs that may from time
to time appear in any of the newspa
pers in regard to that Port. This is
a move in the right direction &nd one
which will be gratifying to the far
mers of the Valley. Wo suggest that
the Astoria Citizens' Club send a dep
utation ot its members to the Slate
Farmers' Convention, for the purpose
of giving such information to that
body as may bo necessacy in further
ing the warehouse enterprise. In or
der to succeed in securing the erec
tion of the proposed mammoth ware
house at Astoria, the fullest encour
agement must be given by the people
of that city. There is no better place
to show up the advantages of such an
enterprise than at the State Farmers'
Covention, and the Astorians should
not let tho opportunity pass. As that
will be exclusively a farmers' conven
tion it is scarcely to be expected that
the Astoria deputation would be ad
mitted as delegates ; but they should
be present and be fully prepared with
facts and information relative to the
shipping advantages of their Port.
We leave this matter for their consid
eration. GCIXrVEK A--l Mis ULUPCTiriS.
Last Monday night, after Ilolladay's
return to Portland, a crowd of his
hired flunkies and lickspittles assem
bled in front of his Portland residence
and tooted their brass band ; and
when the great Emperor Xorton ap
peared upon the verandah, one J. F.
Caples whom Ilolladay's money
elected to the late defuncled Legisla
ture, and who is the most servile and
cringing satellite of his master de
livered an address of welcome ; which
was responded to, on behalf of llol
laday, by J. 2s". Dolph, whom the j
railroad man's money also elected to
the Legislature last year, and who is to i
be the Holladay candidate for Gover-1
nor next year, and who is at present
chairman of the sham incorporation
company of the Bulletin establish
ment. After this crowd of Holladay
"free-lunch" eaters had beslobbered
him all over, licked his hair down
over his cranium, and kissed his feet
and one other prominent projection of
his body, to fullest satiety, he deigned
to give them all a 5hot round" of ben
zine and majestically waved them
away to their various kennels. The
Oregonian very appropriately char
acterizes this glaring exhibition of
flunkyistn as nauseating and disgust
ing. I iety; axd Politics. Senate Har
lan is another specimen of the
depths of ignominy to which a man
descends when he leaves the pulpit
to engage in politics. Revelations
are daily made in Washington show
ing how truculent and hypocritical
this man has been, not only in Credit
Mobiiier, but in all other affairs where
thrift would follow fawning. He and
Collar, occupy the same winding
sheet, and will be . consigned to the
same grave of scorn
Tub Bulletin intimates that if it
were not for the Democratic acquisi
tions to the Radical party, that party
wouldn't be a huckleberry in a bear's
ear. That may be true in respct to
brains, but that party -was always
"sum'at" on the Credit Mobiiier busi
ness even when there was nothing for
it to steal but plantation niggers.

; Tho President's inaugural on the
4th inst. was nn occasion et apart by
iho Washingtonians to -110000 every
body, and of course- Grant got his
share. It is said the outlay of tho citi
zens was nearly a hundred thousand
dollars. But to get this back again
they put tho prico upon tho tickets
for tho ball at $20 cach,admittinga gen
tleman and two ladies, which is whol
ly unprecedented. Tho Kooning Star
very properly warned thopeoploof tho
city not to take advantage of tho oc
casion, to overchargo tho strangers
that camo within their gates, but to
permit them to leave Washington
with a good opinion of tho city.
Considering that, for tho privilego of
looking out of tho window an hour or
two, one was charged 615 to $20; that
it was necessary to pay $20 for a ball
ticket before ono could bo happy, and
finally that tho livery stablo keepers
had combined and set tho prico for a
day's use of a hnck staggering, up to
$10 considering nil theso things,
a man was lucky if he got out of Wash
ington with any opinion iu his head
or any money in his pocket.
It Dox't Pan. It seems tlut, not
withstanding tho vigorous promises
ot tho Administration party last tall,
now that Grant lias secured a second
pull at the public udder, ho don't pay
much attention to the clamorous de
mands of the woinan'tf rights females
for "offis." For somo weeks past
ono Mrs. Savory, of Dun Moines,
Iowa, has been flouncing around
Washington, attempting to secure tho
appointment of Consul to Havre;
and, although she is said to bo a very
Savory piece of femininity, yet the
ungrateful Useless swears ho won't
Havre for his foreign Consul. Now
if Mrs. Dnniway doesn't apply her
journalistic shingle to tho President's
posterior we shall certainly throw oil'
on her.

timated wants before harvest,' noted
last week as about 5,33-4,0,00 qrs.,
seem now likely to bo provided for
to the extent of 1,100 qrs., from
California alone, their shipments
from the 31st of August lo Jan
uary having been about 1,500,000
qrs. to the United Kingdom, and they
tally expect to export further this
season "the supplies specified. If
France and Spain, therefore, supply
one million more, the neodful amonnt
from other countries will be materi
ally reduced; and it is no small mat
ter that, after a season wherein our
own produce shows so much inferiori
ority, there should bo tho fine wheat
of California in store for our help, es
pecially as Dantizio advices are. unfa
vorable on this very point. We hear
from Germany the frost has been very
severe, without the usual covering of
snow and there may be damage to
the young plants in the ground; and
as for our own prospects now are
anything but bright,, we' may yet have
a trying year.. '
