They have decided not taliold prayer meetings in saloons, but will modestly interview , the Buloou keepers personally; itui do their boat to persuade ths.n to give top tbeir nefarious traffic. - This is the only legal and rational manner 0 treating the subject, and in our opinion muc hbetter calculated I to produce radical and peruianen good results than tbe manner which the crg.sade has been carriei on 01 Juts by mobs ot women in vadincf the places of business of liquor Bellers and blocking up the streets and side walks with their praying and flinging crowds. For whatever inny be said or thought of the traffic in ii. toscioating liquorF,dei.Lr6liaveriglif under tbe law, to ba protected in their business, which cannot with safety be' invaded. We fully concur with what tbe New orli Timet sayj, iu speaking of the above subject, wlieu it remarks. that "intoxication, the use of tobacco, lawlessness, and the carrying of corv eoaiea woapons among boys, are frightfully npofl the increase, and it would, perhaps, be as well, and likely to be attondod with more satisfactory results, if the ladies would spare their prayers over the old topers who sue incorrigible, leaving thorn to their idols, and 'attempt to stop the stream at the fountain bead ore its waters become polluted and ils oourse incap nblo of chnnge." , IMPHO VKAIK.VT OK WILLAHrSTTK.

DAY IJAWNS AT LAST. Xet our Democratio friends takoj but,a giance back over the events of the past twelve months, nnd, then my whether or ntt they are hopeless of natipnal.suecess in the near future. One year ago. the supplemental Civil Bights bill would have passed both Houses of Congress by a strict party vote, and with a rush This year a number of Republicans in the 3enato bud- tho boldness to speak against it and vote against its pass1 age, and its success in a Republican Houso of Representatives is more than doubtful. One year ago tbe House of Ropre scntatives. would have refuted, by a strict party vote; A bill requiring that jurors sitting in United States courts should know how to read and write tho English language. It would have been said, with indigna tion, by such men as Hoar, Poland, Kcl'.ey and Shanks, that this was a "Copperhead" attempt to abridge fid rights of the glorious black rrron, and that the effect would be to ex- elude him from the jury box and cast tho trial of causes almost exclusively in to tho power of the white race. This year the opposition to a bill like this in tho Ilousa was fooble, and when it came to a vote, it passed by so large a majority that the negatives were not counted.. One year ago if tho Arkansas civil war had been raging, and an appeal had been made to the President by the rival Governors for protection, Mr. Grant would have instructed Mr. Attorney General Williams to ascer tain which side could afford the most assistance to tho Administration in the future, and to write an opinion to the effect that that sido was best entitled to recognition by the Execu tive. But with tho results of the Louisiana blundor staring him in the faco, Mr. Grant did not dare to make a partisan decision, nnd accordingly Gov Baxter, who moat represented tho Democratic clement in the State, was declared to bo the rightful Gov ernor. ' , , One year ago the newspaper organ of the Administration in New York would havo-clamored, for the passage of tiio bill-forcing mixed schools and negro equality"- upon the people; it ould havo opposod with vohemonco tho bill to exclude ignorant negroes from juries,' mid it would havo do- uiuiHlod the recognition of Brooks, in Aikansftf), by tho President. But to-tiny it publishes editorial loaders, not only sneering at negro equality and showing tho absurdity aud in justice of tho Civil Bights bill, but actually pats Senator Eaton on the buck, and says that his extreme State Rights utterances cannot bo answered by curses, but must (if they can), be answered by nrgument. Now what is the reason why, in a twolve-montli, a change of front so complcto an this has been possible? Is it not that tho Republican politi cians ami the Republican journalists see, what other men have scon for a long time, the handwriting on the wall "Thou art weiged in the bal aneo and ' found wantiug" -and the proclamation of' tho fact that tho pbwor tho Republican party had wielded so long had bemi givon to purer and ho'ltuf political organiza tion That is what is the mnttor.-'-Uudor tho pressure of dofoat and party demoralization these tomnorarv holders of power bogin to admit that whito men and Southoni men have Homo rights which tho Government ought to rospect We regard this dontli bed repentanoo as one of the most striking of tho signs of the times, The day dawiiB at last.

A p.. '-:.( r :i 1 Shr i he I; Juno 30th, 1874! Editor Democrat: Since tho recent elections in Port- hind, both of which proved so dis astrous to the Custom House Ring, nothing politically has trans. ired. worthy of mention, except the re moval of Tom. Young, as United States Marshal, and the appoinment ment, in his stead, of Dan Mallarkcy. No cause is assigned for tho rash act, other than the report that Young had . lost his grip,- and was not as sitcccss'-l ful in manipulating votes as in the days of "yore." , In the appoint ment of Mallarkoy, Mitchell ."Hip- plo,'' has been peculiarly successful in securing the services of a cringieng mercenary sycophant, one who will do his master's will as readily and unscrupulously as tho much named Senator could possibly dosire1, but tis all "vanity and vexation of the spirit," for tho days of bribers aud the ring tricksters aro numbered in Portland. The shocking cold blooded mur dor of Police officer Charles F. Schoppe, while attempting to anost an assassin and out-law; the trial and conviction of tho murderer; by a jury of twelve men, for the highest crime, known to the law, and the sub sequent; action of Judge Upton, . in granting a new trial, has attracted publio attention in Portland to a con siderable extent. Yesterday, how ever, the .miserable farce ended by tho Prisonor being allowed to with draw the plea of not guilty as charged in tho iudictmontr-niurdor in the fir.it dogreo unit ploading guilty . to murder in tho second dogroo, which is equivalent to about 5 yours in the Penitentiary, for the longest that any man has over been confinod in tho Penitentiary of this Stato for tho crime of murder in tho second degrco is eight years. A brief account of this heart-rend ing aihur .may not be uniiiterestim.' to your readers, lience I will give it: On tho evening of the 13th of Juno, two men named Gibbens nnd Pagan wont into tho Cozy Saloon, kopt by somo disreputable woman, and culled for tho cigars. Thabar-touder, a boor jorltor, waitod on them. About the time they had lit thoir cigars, another woman entered the saloon and asked Gibbons to treat hor. To this Gib bons mado an insulting reply, which incensed the ficklo fair one, who in return callod him a d d dirty rod uiouthed Miuk, at the same timo sho wont out the hull way of the Saloon und up a flight of stairs, followed by Pagan and Gibbens, Tngan wont up tho stairs and into a room with the courtesan, and Gibbens opened a dobr noar tho foot of the stairs and stepped outside and sat down on a box, and thore ho no doubt brooded over the remark made to him by the girl until ho worked himsolf into a stato of draporntion. He had been out about sevon or eight minutes, when the hur-tondor, namod Aonio Miles, who, it Boems, saw him open the back door, went out to soe whnt had become of him. No snooner, however, had she oponed he door than Gibbens drow a largo Bizo navy rovolvcr and fired at hoi This sud den shock so frightened hor that sho ran hack through tho saloon and out on the sido walk, shouting "I am shot I I am shotl" Gibbens, who doubtless thought he had killed hor, thru-attempted to make his escape by rumimg through tho saloon and out 1'Aor the darkness, but on enter ing the saloon ho found himself con fronted by Officer Hehoppo. Pagan testified that Ire heard Gibbens say to the ollicer, "gri dut of mv wav you d-d s of a b, or I'll blow your brains out." Hut ho had run across Oman who knew no such a word as fnltcr, and who would soonor ilio at his post of duty than be callod coward. Gibbons finding thatewaiHi was impossible, dolilwrutoly shot the otlieor through the heart, and before he had time to fire tho second hot Sohoppo Btruok the assassin a blow- on tho head with his billy, which knocked him senseless to tho floor; the officer then fell himself on toil of tho murderer and expired in two ortlmio minute. Oibbenswns picked up liy another ofllocr and escorted to tho jail. The Grand Jury hap- i" " 111 in session ana liiulieus was indicted for inurdor in the first degrco. A jury of substantial, roli- nbln men wero selected to try the I'lluc, tho llcocssurv (nieslinna n-om defence was patiently listened to by the Jury. The law was read and aigued by the respective lawvers to a considerable length; the instructions 01 me court were neara, and the J ury retired to deliberate on their verdict. and after being out 23 hours they re turned a verdict of guilty as charged iu me lnuicunem. a motion was then made by, counsel for defense for a new trial, which motion was thor oughly argued pro and con by the Attorneys. The Judge, after tuking the matter under advisement for two or three days, granted a new trial on the grounds that the evidence did not warrant the iindinor of the .Tnrv from the fact thut the evidence did not snow that tho dofendant had any former acquaintance with' Schoppe, and hence could not have entertained any nialace toward deceased. Or in other words, according to this ruling, a peace officer must bo acquainted with a man before ho is justified in arresting him for attempting to take the life of 'another. A has' no- protection in Portland, no mutter what tire circumstances are; they, however, must do their duty, and if they are compelled to use vio lence in order to arrest an out-law, they are always severely nunislTfld. Great indignation is folt at the Judge's ruling, The coming Fourth of July will be celebrated in East Portland and I predict that it will be a success', bow- over, I will be bettor able to judge of that after it is over, and I will fur- uisn you an account of the eamo. "OBSERVER." I.1IPBOVE J1KN r OK TUK WU.LAMETTE. , Ouly SU.5,000 Needed. " Capt. Smith, to whom we referred the other day as bavin!? explored the course of the Willamette river from llarrisburg down in the service of tho Linn county Central Grange, has completed that lour of .obser vation and seems to have come to tho conclusion that tho improve ment of navigation to seouro a depth of three and a halt' feet of water luring the Summer aud Autumn. nceu not uo a titsK accompanied with extraordinary difficulty or expense. Capt. Smith was selected for this sur- survoy on account of his experience in such work. He supervised the construction of the Canal and Locks at Oregon City, which must be regarded as a work of magnitudo that was oouiploted in the best man ner.
