EioHT.The North Carolina Gran gers don't allow any political foolish ness among their members. E. C.

Tilton, and an exchange has the brazen impudence to assert that upon this subject "Mr. Beecher isn't good authority!" And we auk why iot? Hasn't tbia im maculate man always been good au thority for everything else, from the color of a baby's ys to tho gender of a mute colt? As a man whose opinions and authority has been quo ted he is without a peer in the pres ent century. He has always been ready to discuss any question in mor als, dude, finance, politics, sanitary tregulations, ' art, science, educa tion, ecclesiastical affairs, prison dis- ciriline. or household management in tho pulpit or on the platform ifce is a standing authority in wnttcifj cer tificates on organs, pianos .tewing machines, wringers, waBhousj filters, horses, swine, cows, farrj and garden utensils, medicine, uiti, flowers, vegetable and mar,i(res. Only the other day we saw pam quoted as an authority on thi 'best disposition to be made of tr-ffae for fertilizing pur poses, ifever fails to know which is the heuj breed of snails for veal and Vvafi, as well as the most superi or stock, of mules for milk and mut ton. And there is a. class of men who believe so implicitly in him that they expect to go to His capacious bosom after death. The United States abounds with people who think they can do nothing without the endorse ment of Mr. Beecher, and hoi seems to have arrived at the sublime con viction that nothing can succeed with out his approbation, and that with holding or expressing his oppo- sition is sufficient to defeat or at least embarrass almost any. enterprise, secular,' religious or domestic. And, after all this, to rofusoj to admit his authority upon a question, of which he doubtless knows more than any body else save, perhaps, one is an outrage which Mr. Beecher ought to spurn with contempt and frown down with the deepest, blackest cloud of his disapproval ' kEHEMAOUU. Last .Tuosdav evening Col. Nes- mith was serenaded at the Cosmopol itun Hotel in Portland, when he made quite a lengthy speech, in his usual eloquent, pithy and attractive manner. The speech was recoived with great favor and was accorded the warmest manifestations of appro bation. , He recounted his various services and efforts in behalf of our State while in Congress, and couelu dod in the follow neat sentence: I was sent to Congress by your magnanimity. I come back with clean hands. I have been mixed up in no Back Fny Grab, no Credit Mo- belier, no cuuborn ana Juyne eon- tracts, and no 'taint of corruption dings tamy garments. I return to you with my commission pure and unsullied as toe day in wuicn you placed it in my bands, The day ap proaches in which I shall resign it to you, and return to mat obscurity from which I was summoned at your call. And now, mends and follow- citizens, I bid you avory kind Good Mglltl We regret much that our space this week will not permit us to pub lish the speech in full, as it is report ed in the Portland dailies; we may, however, be able to produce it noxt week. A Biuye Act. A few weeks ago a little child lay down on the Soowsboe Railroad track, in Ponnsylyania, and went to sloop. The train' was thundering along at a furious rate when conductor J2d. Nolan discovered the littlo one . sleeping peacefully with its tiny arms thrown over the rail a short distance ahead, To atop the train in tiuio to save the ohild was impossible, bo ever the top of the oars now the conductor. In a mo ment he was on the cow ' catcher, in another twinkling of an eye there was a spring, the heavy train dashed by like the wind, and down the bank with somebody's household pet in lis arms, rolled bravs Ned Nolan. There were none but the train hands present to note this heroio action, but neither the trees, nor the rooks, nor the mountains eould hide it from the eye that nover sleeps, and upon the pagos of heaven's book there was no brighter mark that day, than that which went to the credit of that gal ant couetor. Ot CouitsK.-rThe Misaiisippi Had icals fear the result of the election to oomo off in that State ou the 4th of August, and have telegraphed to Grant, at Long Branoh, to forward a lot of troops there for use on eloo lion day. Of course they predicato their request on the ground (that it is feared a riot may ocoor, but every sensible person knows it is only the old dodge of the infamous curpet- baggers to overawe the down trodden citizens of that' Stale and restrain them from votinir: ' . i Axoruxa. linker City is prolific of newspapers.

TUB PltUK OAO-1AW. ' The Washington correspondence of the Springfield Heptiblicbnf June 25 tb, says : ' ' It has been "discovered that under the lead of Poland o! Vermont in the House, and Edmunds of Vermont and Frelinghuyer.a of New Jersey in the Senate,, a harmless-looking bill was qvtiely passed, which really gives the QWts of this District more power jh regard to libel in any part .of the TTaited States than the notorious serjon of another bill proposed by Carpenter and Conklin. Under the bjdl passed, on complaint for libel hefo, an editor can be or- rested anywhere and brought here in arr&'it. " ' Tjs is a direct blow at the liberty I of 'the press and is one more act of Kyranny one more stop towards the centralization of power at Washing ton, ft means adopted to intimidate the resident correspondents of news papers there who have engaged in exposing the villainy and Corruption of Congressional rings and other thioves who have pillaged the Gov ernment. We are pleased to observe that it is condemned and denounced by Bepublican as well as Democratic papers of the country. What next? . TBK "TBIPPLK THUNDKRER." Last Sunday's Salem Statesman contained the valedictory of Capt. C. P. Crandall, and the announcement that Calvin B. McDonald would suc ceed him on th editorial tripod of that paper. Our relations with Cap tain Crandall have always been of the most pleasant nature; and while we regret his retiracy from the journal istic profession we cannot refrain from wishing him the fullest prosper ity in whatever field of usefulness he may may hereafter embark. Mr.' McDonald, his successor, is not unknown to Orogon journalism, he having been at one time the edi tor of the Salem Unionist, during which timoheestablished amputation as a writer second to no one in the State. We extent to him a cordial welcome back to Oregon newspaperdom, and trust his porsonal and professional relations with tho craft here may be all that a gentleman of his culture might dosire. . A Just Tiubute. In tho States man of last Tnosday Mr. ' McDonald either intentionally or accidentally paid the following just tribute to the grand bid Democratic party: "Old parties based upon great principles, hardened by the winds and suns of stormy years, comolitod by the halo of recent conquest, do not so readily expire; and ours will be still existing and animatod by the progressive ideas and instincts of the nation, when the grave-stones of its dead heroes' shall have growu gray and bearded with tho mosses of lime," QuEEjf Victohia has had another addition to tho number of her grand children by the birth of a daughter to the Princess Alice, now of Ilosse, Dramstadt. That makes the tally, np to the latost advicos, ' nine children and twenty-two grandohildrcn living and two grandchildren dead a sum total , of r thirty-four. The Divine oommand to iuorease and multiply has not been negleoted by the bouse of Guclph.

Tho closing days of winter and the early days of spring are very trying to the feeble and sen sitive and are apt to affect unpleasantly even the more robust and vigorous. Nothing can be more uncoutjeiilal to the nerves or more de pressing to the spirits than damp, chilling winds, fogs and cold ruins, and of such, unwel come visitors wo have a superabundance at this season. Common prudence suggests, therefore, tho propriety of fortifying the system against these insidious enemies of health and comfort and the .experience or more than' a quarter of a century points to Hostetter's Stom ach Hitters as the all-sufficient sanitary safe guard under such untoward circumstances. An accession of vital strength and energy is what Is required to mcot and overcome the un healthy elements now present In the atmos phere.
