Tlso ladies of Boston hava some
1 trfcat modified the temperance cru:
narie tactics. 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."

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.

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.
