Legislative hall and bayonets used

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

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,

gonnally iu Mi,i::i:isippi, and nttrib
uted tho trouble to the utter inabili

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

soldiers fiom the South and allow
the people of those bayonet-cursed
and carpet-bag riddou States to "reg

It is to bo hoped that they will have

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.

Wo notico iu the Ponn. Monthly,

Goo. L. 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

right it maintained, its fundamental
principles wero tho same as those
which sustain tho jurisprudence of
to-day."

asked that Vigors, former (Jlerk of
the Mouse, should read some letters
which he presouted. TreBevant, tfte
newly-elected Clerk, objected. The
General then asked, as he was unable
to judge who was Clerk of the House,
that his Adjutant should read the
tetters. The Adjutant then read the
letters, one of which stated to the
General that au illegal body was ait
ting as a House ot Kepreseutativea,
that Mr. Vigors.-.lhe Clerk, would
furnish a list of those members who
