What is tho, use of this show of ro spectj ty State, .rjghU? ; The rule is tliat jof niUBket, awOrd and central authority. Everybody knows it. Proclamations by tlio: President and appeals' for assistauco by 06v, Kel logg are formalities which i do not cloak the real nature of tlie business. There is no- pretence in litis case of I riot or lusiiriection; it is a seiauro of tho State House by U, S. troops in a timo of peacoj a dissolution' of th Assembly and a forcible expulsion of its members. ' The ncayu.ua says: "For the first time in the history of tho United Stuteg armed soldiers havo invaded a Legislative hall and bayonets used to oxpel the ruproKunlutivoH of Uiu peoplo f.'oin their eoatB. No one over dreamed tho President had the right to employ nu army for the pur pose of shaping' the organization of a Stale "Lcgiblaturo. Iu this case there wus no uiergoney . uch as the low coutuniplalesj thtro wus no eidl made upon him through the channel which tho law points out; there was no insurrection, no invasion.

There is no escape from this statement of facU." AVUile all tho great journals of the East have united in contemning and deploring tho military interference of our military PrOHidcut, it has re mained for a paper in our owu State --the I'ortlnnd lSalletin - to step to. the front and proclaim its own shame by endorsing the act. Every docent Kepublican in Oregon will hang his head in chagrin . and humiliation at tho Bulletin's conduct while the peo ple of other portions Of the Unitod States, who may chance to! hear of it, will have their preconceived ideas of Pacific coast barbarity only the moro strongly impressed upon' their minds. We expected better than this even from the Bulletin, and can only account for its sbamoless and recklpsij course by remembering the fact that its very life hangs upon its abject fcally'.and cringing submis sion to its Washington mastors. The reproach and ignominy of such shameless utterances as appeared in its columns of last Wednesday can never be expiated or atoned. , A DEFIANT CA1ID FIIOH TIITON. " Brooklyn, Deo. 26. Tilton has ad drossod a card to the public concern ing the two trials one civil and the other oriminal involving bis contro versy with Peecher. Tilton says he has made charges against Beecher, and.has already provon them to tho beliof of threo-qnartors of the peo plo of the nation, including the legal profession, Ho now waits to repeat and solomnize this proof in a Court of law. Ho then goes on to say: "The civil suit is continually thwart ed by a straugo, unexampled de mand for a catalogue of particular dates, places, etc. It is au affront to ethics and equity to limit Beocher's fourteen months of adultery to two Uays. .Accordingly, I givo the pub lic due notice that bo fur as the civil case is concorned, I shall go luu Court on the first day when I am permitted to carry all my evidence with me, but never while I am to leave nine-tenths of this evidence outside the door. In other words, to try Beochcr for adultery, with that sin carefully forbidden to bo provon, is a farce which I am hardly qualified to play in these sad days. Meanwhile, sinco Beecher is seeking to balllo my caso against him, I chal lenge him to end this by-play of ntrifo ovor a bill of particulars by calling up his case against mo. This he has power to do at any momout. I am advised, and believo, that the cunning managers of Beocher's safo ty oro seeking to contravene tho ends of justice by strutogem, and that as soon as his counsel shall have restricted me so as to make my proofs inadmissible, their plan is to with draw tho indictment against mo, which is to bo explained to tho pub lic us an act of unexampled magna nimity by Boochor toward mo. By theso devicos Mr. Beecher is to es cape ulu''otu.cr. Inton tuen asks the public to unite on dotorminin, that Mr. Beochcr shall not have the tho moral mippurt of tho community, and that ho bo stopped by public opinion from imposing restrictions upon hia (Tillon's) caso, or else that lie shall bring a criminal prosocution against Beecher forthwith. Tilton's card is dated December 25. WHAT 1MK.V FOUND OUT. The Congressional Committoe which is now in'scsHion in Now Or leans, investigating tho troubles down there, ure getting bouio livoly (leaB put into their cars and will go back to Congress with lively burs to put under that digniliod body croopor. Tho dispatches toll us that conclusive ovidonce was given before tho Committoe that "colored clubs existed which voted with tho Con servatives boouuHO tirod of existing ovils. Othors toutified to tho de pression of businoss in Now Orloaus attributing it to tho exorbitant taxes and general want of contidonco. Tho general iiupressiou is that misrule and fraud is the occasion of tho troubles. "Colonel Miller, testified to the condition of affairs gonnally iu Mi,i::i:isippi, and nttrib uted tho trouble to the utter inabili ty of thu whitos to conteol tho negro vote and keep it from the inHtionco of carput-baggors and political ras- lU. Ho stated that sinco tho war lauds had depreciated fifty to seventy- live per cent, m value, and that tuxua wore bo high tho peoplo were uunblu to pay them, aud in many casus allowed their land to bo for feited to tho State. Wo woudur if that Congressional Investigating Committoo will have tho Baud iu its gizzard and the lionet!)- of its hoart to go bauk to Wash ington and tell (iraut to remove his soldiers fiom the South and allow the people of those bayonet-cursed and carpet-bag riddou States to "reg ulate Ui'Ui' owu domestic concerns according to tfcoir own judgment?" It is to bo hoped that they will have iullicieut manhood to obey tho de tails of common honesty and justice and mako such a recommendation as will relievo tho Southern people from their priseut oppressions. i 1 ..' i Ot a "National Blbshino." The statement of the Secretary of the Treasury, for December, shows the national debt to be $3,210,011,200 and no cuutu; at least thoro wasn't any sense iu ullowing such a ponder ous incubus to grow upon our body politic. .

ONE MORK HCRISW TCBNUD ON. mi - . . j.ne most trying nuisance ever perpetrated by an abolition Congress is just now gone into operation, much to the disgust as well as injury of every newspaper published in the land. We allude to tho lately en acted' law which compels the pay ment of postage on newspapers us on letters. It compels the publisher, who has only charged a living rate for his paper, to go down in his pocket and fork ovor additional sums j from his nott earnings in payment of post which has always been paid by the subscriber at tho post office where the paper is dolivered. This is a palpable system of extortion which was rosortcd to as a punishment up on thejiewspapers of the laud which denounced the corruptions and vil lainies of tho very Congress which concocted this scheme of revenge. They knew well it would not kill off Republican papers, as they arc, with rare exceptions supported by either rich corporations, government print ing swindles or from tho national Bepublican corruption fund a fund which is extracted from tho hard earnings of government clerks, cus tom-house employees and other pub lio servants, who are continually taxed and black-mailed for this ne farious purpose. . . Ana ine naru-taxea iarmor, me chanic and laborer foot the bills for all theso infamies while tho rich land holder gathers in his vast profits and pays nothing. , But thank God thore is a light in the offing! The people are rolling on the char iot wheols of Democracy, and anoth er year will bring forth the glorious fruits of our labors and prayers. With tho national Democratic vic tory which will come noxt year will also come peace and tranquility to our country, both North and South; it will bring an early abolition of the nigh protective tariff villaiuly, which is de stroying our commerce, impoverish ing the bone and sinew of the Great West and turning the tide of European immigration back from our shores to tho more prosperous and inviting industries of "the Father land." It will reduco tho national oxpenses and lower tho rate of taxa tion now enforced to support a mili tary family iu Washington and a standing army to intimidate tho Southern Statos into giving Iiadioal victories. Wo will pay our postago in ad vance, in conformity with tho infa mous law, as other poor peoplo are required to pay their extortionate taxes throughout tho land; and also, like them, we will watch and prav for that political millonium which will cast tho rotten hulk of Radical ism into everlasting fotlers and re store Democratic salvation to a long lost government. CALIFORNIA VRRSCS OREGON. The California papers are dancing on their noses ovor the discovery of a French girl in that State, eighteen years old, who has hauled cordwood, two trips a day, live miles, averaging a cord and thrco-quarters to a load, over a rocky and mountainous road, with four horses, nearly every day the past Summer. She is usually the first ono on the road in the morn ing and frequently the last, one at night. She sits high on her spring seat, with her whip and four lines in her hands and her foot on the brake, managing her team with as much grace and ease as any man. , : To oil of which the Portland Bul letin very justly odds: "That French girl is a good girl. That we would not be so ungallant as to dispute. But whore is our Lane county girl that put in eighty acres of wheat, then took the district school and "walloped" all tho big boys in the precinct into decency and subjection, eh? And when you are talking about girls with- pluck, just bear in mind that Oregon can produce about four thousand, now married, to be sure, and many of them grandmoth ers, each of whom whacked an ox teom from tho Missouri River to the Willamette Valley; stood guard against savage Indians on the Plains, s,calcd three ranges of mountains, roachod the promised land in triumph to raiBO a family of thirteen strap ping boys and girls, and never laid eyes upon a store-made bonnet for fifteen years. Don't mention your California girls, please. A Reminiscence. The Prince of Wales is 33 years old, has grown fat and bald, and has settled down into an exemplary husband. We remem ber you, Al., old boy, when you visited St. Louis, Mo., in 18C0, and bought a suit of clothes at the Oak Hall clothing store same place where we bought our paper collars; and you remember you said you were glad to see us in your little speech in front of Barnum's. hotel, and we wore goose enough to believo you, and tried to push through tho crowd and take you by tho hand, when some fellow noticed us and blurted out: "You durned young greeny, ho don't mean you any morre'n the whole caboodlo on us!"

Curry, ex-Governor of Ore gon. It is ontitlod, "The Pionoer Govornmont of Oregon," and is one of tho most ologantly composed ar ticles to be found in, tho periodical literature of the day. Among other good things which tho writer says, wo find tho following elegant tribute to tuo goou sense ot our early pio neers. "Oregon has experienced three dillerent characters of Gov ernment. First, tho Pionoer or Provisional; afterwards tho Territo rial, under the jurisdiction of tho United Statos, and now tho suporior authority of the State. Tho first was a government as good and sulli cieut for all practical purposes at tho time of its existence, and as much respocted, as either of the others. Where tho public intorests wero sed ulously observed, the highost regard was manifo.sl.ed for individual rights. Tho law has been supremo, its maj esty held inviolato always iu Oregon, sinco its first enactment by the pio neers. Wiso in its simplicity, po teut in tho measure of justice aud right it maintained, its fundamental principles wero tho same as those which sustain tho jurisprudence of to-day." Thearticlo throughout isof sonmcli merit, and will bo of so much in terest to our readers, that we expect to publish it iu full next week iu our columns. ' Finn Hoiiuous. On last Saturday night Richard Borum, of Leo county, Missisippi, his wife, two children and a little negro, wero murdered nud their bodies consumed in tho building iu which they resided.

How Tm;y Fixed it. We this week publish the law enacted by the late Independent Legislature in regard to Road Supervisors, which tho said law it leaves things in a bad fix. Having no emergency clause it can not go into effect until the 2Gts of this month too hito for the appoint ment of the new Supervisors provid ed for by it, and bofore they could bo appointed in February, under tho old law, that will bo a doad letter; hence, we don't see how our County Courts are going to provide, legally, for Road Supervisors for the year 1875. Ono more Independent Leg islature would fix us, as Jo. Teal says, so wo wouldn't 1'know, which ono of dose vellorB ve voe." Enteuphise.
