SOXtEBODV ALWAYS IlfclKPOXSIBLH.
Contemplating the liorror9 of. the
Atlantic" steamship ami other disas
ter which are almost daily occurring,
el b which human life is being sac
ri6ced in appalling numbers, the
thought of personal responsibility for
these Accidents naturally recurs to
tbo thinking' public. That each and
every person is responsible for some
thing, of greater or less extent, there
in probably no question. This fact
should be tirmly impressed upon the
mind of every person who has to do
with the lives or welfare of the travel
ling public Upon every railroad en
gineer, conductor, or train man; every
steamship or steamboat captain, sub
ordinate officer, or deck hand ; even
the Jehu who swings his coach-and-four
around the village corner, there
rests a.-responsiMity, measured in ex
tent by the positions they occupy.
Yet. how. very few of either ot the
above named, generally speaking, ro
stlize tho extent of the trust resting
upon them. By long usage and fre
quent contact with scenes of danger
they are liable to become hardened to
them, and thus much of the finer sense
is blunted. Of course there are ex
ceptions to this, but in . the1 general
sense, there is loo much of the "devil
a care"' spirit among men.
THE CIVIL. SERVICE FIZZLE.
The man Grant who is running the
President's office for the benefit of
himself ami his relations, has created
huge, though tardy, disgust in the
minds of the more decent Radicals by
his recent Federal appointments.
The Christian Ci(,Beecher's paper,
is moved to discourse thus :
The friends of civil service reform
are not a little discouraged in view of
some of the President's recent nomina
tions. It looks as if the rules, so care
lully and elaborately framed by the
civil service commission, were like
ly to be swept away as so many chips
by the swelling tide of political and
party influence. The renomination of
Casey, the President's brother-in-law,
as collector of the port of New Or
leans, alter "the exposures made by a
congressional committee of his very
objectionable conduct in Louisiana
affairs, was a nauseous pill for the
Senate to swallow.
lVkn iKn n, . nA T
press throughout the country declared I
Grant's professions of civil service re
form to be mere clap-trap and hum
bug, designed to gull the unwary, the
administration organs steadily denied
the soft impeachment and classed it
among ''the slanders of the campaign."
y ow, the swindle has become so pal
pable that Beecher has to acknowledge
it, and Curtis tenders, his resignation
I
in disgust and despair.
THE dispatches tell us thnt last I
Sunday nightin Plymonth Chorch. j
Brookl-n, "Ilenry Ward Beecher in
voked the Father of all mankind to
remember in mercy the ' children of
the torcst,' whose pent-up wrongs had
driven them to bloodshed and diabol
ical murder." It is just such canting
hypocrites as this Beecher, with bis
sanctimonious bawls about the "pent-!
wrongs" of the "children of the
forest," that has fostered and encour
aged the vaciiiiating and cowardly
Peace policy which has murdered our
settlers, and is depopulating our fron
tier. The Government ought to muz
zle these Beecher sentimentalists at
least until Generals Crook and Gillem !
cet through with their little Indian!
christianizing business.
Sisce tho assassination of the
Peace Commission. President Grant
makes a show of virtuous indignation
and says the " Modocs must be exter
minated !n And yet while the stark
bodies of those fifteen murdered set
tlers were weltering in their clotted
gore, and their mourning wives and
crying babes were Seeing from their
burning homes, the President and his
officials were abjectly suing for peace
at the hands of these red-handed mur
derers. We doubt if Grant's very
tardy assumption of indignation will
satisfy the friends of those murdered
settlers whose lives were not thought
of sufficient importance to ven stir
the Government to the simplest act
of justice upon their mnrderers. . .
The dispatches tell us that a lot of
canting sentimentalists in the East are
besieging President Grant with peti
tions, praying ' him to adhere to bis
criminal Peace. . Policy and treat the
jioor Lo"s with the broadest ' philan
tlirophy. In the light of recent un
fortunate -.-events it might, be , welj.to
fiend a few of those sanctimonious
lea'jc howlers as Peace Commission
ers to the Modocs. If any of them
hou!d succeed in' getting away with
a full head ot hair they might revolu
tionize public sentiment in the East
on the Indian question.

High freights and low prices for
produce, have brought farmers to tho
necessity of considering their situa
tion, and this consideration has result
ed in many cases in revealing to fur
mers some truths which they ought to
have known and profilted by long ago.
In Illinois especially, where the far
mers seem to be more thoroughly
aroused, they have found out that
high tariffs are not couducive to far
mers' interests, and realizing' this fact
they pass at their farmers' meeting
snch resolutions as the following,
which was adopted, rtmong others
equally sensible and significant, at a
farmers' . moeting ; held at Ponliac,
Livingston county, Illinois, ou the
27th ultimo:
Jlcsolved, That wlulo tho sufferings
among the farmers of Illinois and the
west, from the want of cheap transpor
tation, are palpable and alarming, and
the freight upon corn to the sea coast
is greater than its price at market,
and while wo are anxiously looking to
any and all of the proposed methods
of relief, we believe that our interests
and , those of tho whole country re
quire absolute free trade in all the
materials which are used in the con
struction of radroads, engines, cars
and steamships, and that all laws pro
hibiting ns from buying in the cheap
est, and selliug in the dearest markets,
should be at once repealed. 1
In this resolution the farmers go to
the bottom of the evil which produces
the existing state cf things. Kail road
companies have a good excuse to
charge high freights when they can
point out to farmers and others the
fact that they are not allowed to pur
chase a piece of rail, nor a spike to
keep rails in place, without paying a
heavy duty besides the original or
first cost of these railroad necessaries;
and when they can point to their lo
comotives and cars, and show that
every atom of material of which they
are made is subject to a heavy impost
duty. It is true enough that this
ought not to, and does not account
for all the extortion put upon the pub
lic by railroad companies, but it is
used as a pretext, and a good one it
is, for most if not all of it. This pre
text ought to be done away with, and
railroad material and supplies of everv
kind allowed to come into the couu- j
trv, if not absolutely duty free, at
!, . , , , i
j least at such a low duty as to be no j
serious impediiueut to the purchase of ;

in China the position that bis Honor,
Judge Denny, declined to accept.
At first we were disposed to regard
this announcement as little less than
a practical joke on Denny for having
refused to accept the same, but upon
enquiry we learned that the rumor is
too true to make a jest of. And
while we are charitably disposed to
wards all aspiring young men, we con-
fess lhat thl9 appointment pleases us
liule too much, for surely it is
about the cheekiest thing that
has come under our observation for a
long time. Henderson is said to have
fallen off a fence when young and sus
tained mental injuries from which be
has never fully recovered, hence we
are constrained to say that the mate
rial for Evoys Extraordinary and
Ministers Plenipotentiary must be
exceedingly scarce in tho Grant party,
for surely the newly fledged Consul
is a star of very dim magnitude. The
appointment of Judge Denny gave
the position some dignity, which how
ever vanishes into air like an April
cloud, by substituting the name of
Henderson.

Editor Democrat: '
, Although , our ' local papers have
published a detailed account of the
funeral ceremonies of tho lamented
Gen. Canby, I however, have con
cluded to furnish n few thoughts con
cerning the sad and and long-to-be-remembered
event, believing r that
your numerous readers will appreci
ate the same. The remains of the
martyred Veteran reached Portland
on the lSlh inst., at 4 o'clock A. M., in
a tolerable state of preservation. The
corps was at once placed in a inctalio
cofliu which was prepared for the oc
casion, and wan conveyed to his late
residence, where none but the imme
diate friends of the deceased and tho
clergy of tho city wero in attendance.
The Rev, Mr. Izer, Pastor of tho
Methodist Episcopal Church, of this
city, conducted the funeral services in
his usual abto manner. The extrcmo
debility, however, of tho bereaved and
stricken widow of Gen. Canby, whom
it is thought cannot long survive the
terrible shock, caused Mr. Izer to dis
patch the services as speedily as pos
sible. At about 12 o'clock the funer
al cortege moved slowly from tho
residence to Armory Hall, led on tho
right and up even with the hearse by
His Kxcellency. Gov. (trover, closely
followed by Judge Dcady, .ludge
Upton, Judge Denny, 15en. Ilolladay,
Henry Failing, and the ministry of
the city. Quite a number of the army
officers from Fort Vancouver, follow
eil immediately in the rear of tho
hearse.- A few minutes after 12
o'clock the procession arrived at Ar
mory Hall, where had collected a
very large number of anxious specta
tors, eager and intent ou ' getting a
farewell glimpse of the manly form of
the fallen hero. J. II. Lappuus, Chief
ol Police, assisted by LapUins Uran
non and Wiley, placed a goodly num
ber of the Police force near the hall
to disperse the crowd, which by this
time reached a thousand in number.
The side walk beinn cleared and or
der restored, the pall bearers, conM.st
ing of two Washington and two
Emmet Guards respectively, bore the
coffin to the center of the hall and
placed it on a suitable platform, where
the body lay in state until -1 o'clock
1. M. Armory Hull was draped in
mourning. Over the entrance of the
door hung the Stars and Stripes at
half mast. That proud old flflsr.lhat he

Bust lor final interment.
I hid an interview' with an intimate
friend ot Gen. Cailby, and who was
one of the first to arrive at the scene of
the terrible massacre. He informed
me that the General was couscous
that their fato was sealed for at least
ten minutes prior to the killing, for
Riddle's wife (the Indian interpreter,)
plead with Opt. Jack for some min
utes to desist from his murderous de-
signs, but all to no avail, for when the
the signal, Snd true to his treacherous
and savage instincts, deliberately fired
and instnntlv killed one whose whole
life had been spent iu the service of
his country, fue gentleman express
ed a wish that the correspondence be
tween Gen. Canby and the authorities
at Washington would be published to
the world, for in that event, the Gen
eral's skirts wonid be cleared from
having any faith or sympathy in the
miserable farce known as the Peace
Commission; but Gen. Canby was a
soldier, bred to tho profession of
arms, and like a true soldier ho
marched out to meet his death in obe
dience to the command of his superi
ors at Washington, who should be
held to answer before the law for be
ing accessory to the murder of the
Comissioncrs. The Peace Commis
sion was born of jealous', and we
have seen its fruits, Thcro would

of which I presume are familiar to
most of your readersr to havo gone
unpunished, as to have purchased

Ignorance cannot be attributed , to
President Grant for the suicidal pol
icy, for he had lived and cohabited
with the Indians on this coast long
enough and knew enough of their
sneaking, cowardly, treacherous pro
clivities to have warranted him in
recognizing even for one moment, any
peace policy. About the only excuse
that can bo offered for Grant in pur
suing this course is the fear that he
might havo entertained lhat .some of
his numerous half-breed children
might be sacrificed in the attempt to
conquer a peace. But the dread
tragedy is ended, and Capt'Jack has
doubtless sealed his own fate.
I am crediby informed that Judge
jjenny nas declined to accept the
consulship to China, and all with
whom I have conversed concerning
the Judge's intentions to remain in
Portland expresseil themselves highly
ueiigniea. mo Judges nne social
qualities, his gentlemanly bearing, and
strict integrity, have won hira a host

their "craps," that times will liven up.

An old Indian priest is roaming
among the Eastern Oregon Indians
predicting the resurrection of all their

whites. ' It is reported that there are
