This we consider an eminently just decision, and one whicli must inuro to the best interests of tho the Stato. It has" so long been tho custom to have , our State warranty traflicked and hawked about over the country at an enormous disoomit; that no one sells articles to the Stato without making calculations for loss on its scinp by charging hqavy advances from what the same arliclos would bring at cash sales j honcp the Stuto has been compelled to pay excessive prises for-its supplies and much of its indebtedness has accrued in that wfty..1'.

On rjubbutu uionv ' ing before New Year, Just before ' he was to have occupied his pulpit, ho went to his room and cut his r throat with a razor, and was shortly found dead, weltering in a lwrtil of blood. Besides his wife having been for years a manino, he was tho dy previous to his death doteotcd in tho act of stealing s book from (lore in the city, and he preferred failing death rather than the disgrace of! meeting his congregation. " " AADICAL, UATR . PATRIOTIC I)l VOTIOW, -, ;The telegraph brings along the not surprising intelligence that many' of the Eadical members of CongresB are going around to the President's view of the Louisiana difficulty and are proposing to support nnd recog nize the Kellogg Government at all hazardH.Tl)is is in accordance with the 'nature of the avcrago Radical politician. No matter how much his bettor gonius might nt hrst thought iihpcl him to shrink from the perpe tration of gross outrages for party advantages, and even, incito him to make a faint land spasmodie display 6f political decency and sincere pat riotism, if only Wr shumo's sake, yet his habitually blind . subserviency to the crack of tho party lash and the frown of the party londor, will always bring him down from the loftiest plane of dignity and1 decency to the abject attitude of a cringing syco phant and fawning cur at the foet of the Presidential masters Since this always hiis boon, and is always to be the'.fcnso ' with the', satellites of that party, we rather admire that stolid iudifferonoe to shame and disregard of patriotio honor which stimulated the Portland Bulletin to shoulder Grant's Louisiana infamy from the first and proclaim a full and unre served endorsement and support of that unparalloled iniquity. If con sistency bo a jewol always, then tho IStillclin is a gem of tho first water in an iniquitous sort of way. : Yet though a Hadical Congress and custom house organ may shume lossly support this bold usurpation and gross outrage upon a sovereign commonwealth, it is comforting to know that the great masses of the nation are joining in one common chorus of dissent and disapproval. The Legislatures of Now York, Now Jersey, Deloware, Virginia, Ohio, Indiana and othor States have al ready passed resolutions of 'condem nation. Tildoh, the popular now Govoruor of the Empire Stato; Hen dricks, tho iron-hearted Executive of Indiana, and Allon, the votoran Nes tor pf Btickoye Domooraey, have joined in mossagos of severest cen sure; and indignation mootings have boon hold in all the great cities of tho Union, at which eloquent tongueB expressed gravest alarm at this un warranted . encroachment upon the fuhdamontal bulwarks of civil liber ty',' and denounced th? Aministration in blistering adjectives for its coun tenance and participauoy in the out- This is as it Bhould bo. while a fow of tho Radical vampiros liko Morton, ' Chandler, Williams and, l'hilips, aro rovoling in their revolt ing crimes against Republican insti tutions, and attempting to force the country into another scene of blood shed and carnago, the great voice of oonsorvativo patriotism iB heard above the hideous vampiros' croak, and tho angol of peace and reconcil iation is settling to a permauont rost upon our national bulwarks. It is a Boureo of profoundest pleasure to know that the hoart of tho pooplo, both North and South, is so largoly on tiie side of reconcilement, union and good govorninout that the love of liberty is not dead in the land, and that this latest and grossost of Radical oulrugos oanuot pasB by un robukod. u It would seem that the Bulletin and its masters would loam somo lessons of prudciico, if not of wisdom, by those thunders of disapproval which are rsverheruting across the conti nent from every quarter. Will they not bo warned of tho fate which must speedily overtako their infa mous career and destroy their power for further evil? AV'ill they not be waro, rollout and Btopf As sure as there is justico on tho earth and a ruling power for good in Hoavon, so suro must their vouumons hatred of tho South bo crushed and their at tempt, to dontroy civil liberty in our land brought to au early termination. Tho mass of tho people aro neither wicked at heart or fools by nature. They have a clear knowlodgo of right from wrong and by their rocont con duct at the ballot-box have evinced a determination to exercise that knowl edge for their country's good. Wo say ngaiu to tho crushed, bruised and bleeding people of the Soulh, keep np bravo hearts.

The, Mercury, in alluding to the Swamp Land docision which we pub lish on our first page to-day, BayB: In November, 1871, in a communica tion to the Department of the Inte rior, Governor Grover announced that, "In relation to all the swamp and overflowed lands in Oregon, not reserved, sold or disposed of by the United States on March 12th, 1880, the position of the State is, that by virtue of the acts of Congress recited (acts of Sept. 28, 1850 and March 12, 18fi0), a complete grant and in defeasible title wore vested in the State." , The right to these lands had been wholly neglected for eleven years by the State authorities, and had bcon wholly ignored by the General Land Office, both in the pre emption and sales of the public lands in this State ' ' . The assertion of this title brought upon the Governor's head a storm of invective and abuse from the Radical press of the State, and particularly from those papers which were in the interest of railroad ' corporations holding land grants from the gener al government by acts of Congress subsequent to the swamp land acts; these corporations preferring to take the swamp lands under their grants rather than to go to the foot-hills and mountains to make out the com- pliment of lands not secured in the vnlloys. ' ' Attorney General "Wiliiams came from Washington, at the bidding of these corporations, with oopieg of the Governor's letters to the Commis sioner of the Gonornl Laud Office which he read to the people, as he stumped the State, denouncing this claim of title as groundless and as an infamous attempt to swindle somobody. He asserted everywhere that tho position was not law, and that the claim would never be allow ed. The Commissioner of the Gen- oral Land Office, (Drummond), fol lowing in the wake of a corrupt Attorney General, declared that the State had forfeitod its right to these lands and that the State had no right exoopt what his office Bhould choose to recognizo in the segrega tion. But the Executive held firmly to his ground. Cases went into the courts involving the whole subject. The courts sustained the right of the State; The Supreme Court in an elaborately considered case, at De cember term, 1873, decided that tho swamp land act of Oregon of 18G0, was a present grant a grant in pre Hmti that the State had a right to claim and to dispose of the swamp lands wherevor found, as the lawful owner ; and that no right theroto had been forfeited. In the decision of the Secretary of - the Interior which we publish to-day, every posi tion which has boon taken by the Governor, and every point rulod up on by our Supreme Court, as far as thoy are involved, have been dis tinctly affirmed, and the Commis sioner, of the General Land Office (Drummond) overruled. This grant is worth a million dol lars to the State of Oregon. Ettoon Abden ltroivius. And a California party by tho name of John- sou, thinking ho would play Enoch Ardon, last month went back to She boygan, Wis., where he had left his wifo 23 years ago, and went to nosing about trying to find her out. Of course he found his gentle Annie, who of course was married to some body else and was the mother of grown up children by her latest huB band. And this latest husband hap pened to be in when Johnson oaine to soe his Annie from whom he had boon separated for nearly a quarter of a oentury; and when the pathetio mooting and snuffling was at its height between Annie and Enoch, husband No. 2 quietly but majestic ally arose, mildly but firmly separat ed tho lachrymose twain, and ener getically booted the long lost but now found Johnson into the atroot and warned him to light out from thoso parts or copper-bottom him self as a protection against future troublo of tho same sort. The sad hearted Enoch departed from that house, had a good Christmas spree with hia old chums of former days and thon roturuod to his Calfomia homo, a wiser if not a poorer man. l..J HOW MIKHIMNIPPI IM UOVBIINKD, The beauty of Governor Ames' administration is illustratod by the fact that in Mississini it cost 300.- 000 to administer the government hetore the war; now it takes 1,500, 000. Bcforo tho war M.5S0 paid the expenses of the Executive Depart ment. 181.800 goes that way now, Afi'AKHim.r Ben. Butlor has no friends. There is not a newspaper in the country which isn't poking sticks at him; and all Massachusetts looks upon his prostrate body and ejaculates with wonderful courage "Who's afraid?" The last person to hoot at him is tho editor of the Port- hind JiulUiin, who evidently don't remember that Butler is less likely to stay dead than any other man. This Portland Bulk-tin has recently takou a groat fancy to a former's lifo. And that reminds us that we ought to tell agriculturist! in want of good farm lands to send in their ap plications to custom houses and post offices at least CO days before the 4th of March, 1877.

The cost of the new publio school building at Colorado Springs exoceded the funds in hand by $4000, and the deficit was voted in bonds at a special election. 1 A Mrs. Burton, of California, beats the world in the cultivation of castor beans, She has castor oil ou the troubled waters, and produced a calm $600,000. A Montana poet who expressed a desire to "die amid the grand solitude of the lofty mountain tops" got bis lamp of life snuffed by the kick oi a pack aule. All the apparatus pertaining to the Boulder, Sunshine, Salina and Gold Hill telegraph line has arrivod at the first named plaoe, and the wire will be in operation in a day or two. Lieutenant Winters, of the twenty- third infantry, with a detaohment from Fort Russell, is taking a meaBur ment of the" new wagon road from Cheyenne to Red Cloud agency. The Olympia Courier heads an srtiole with the conundrum, "Where's the Good?'' It seems to us tliat Mark Antony solved that when he said "the good is mostly interred," etc. A party of cloven prospectors, who have been scratching and digging about the hnse of Cbiann mountain lor somo sign of gold or silver, have ahandonsd the search as a hopeless job. : An infamous wretch reoently at tempted to outrage a girl only 11 years old, near Junction.

In Mi nt ina 1 st week the thermom eter froze up (being more than 40 below zero) and at Virginia City six Chinamen were turned into ioebergs. Other eases of loss of humain life are reportod. Miss Yokum is the most popular school manu Empire City has ever had. She is niusolcd like a hired man and stauds the big boys on their head in a corner wheu they show any foolishness. A swinish Solano farmer advertisos in the San Francisoo papers for a wife and says "one that is not afraid to teed pigs, prelorred." He must be gettiug old and infirm and wants to bo wailed on. The California State Board of Education has adopted the Paoifio Coast Readers for the use of school in that Stste. We venture the pre diction that it will turn out to bo a ttoupendoua job. Tom Merry has oast off all sub scribers to bit Arte who are a year in arrears. He says "if a man gets the best of us oue year's subscription, that's his fault; if he eatuhes us for two years, the fault is ours." An addition of $800,000 wasmado to the valuation of property in Puublo county last year.

The Boulder Xeiet tays that an assay of ore from the Glendale lode, Sunshine, owned by Messrs. Harsh. Howard and Mallon, made at the mint in Denver, an the 2'Jth ultimo., yielded $14,544 41, ooin value. The Ulondalo is no doubt as rich as any mine in that wonderfully rioh.district. It lies in good shaps for working and cannot fail to be ' fortune to its owners. The married ladies of Nevada City gave a paper cambric fancy dress party on January 1st. No other kind of material for dresses and mask but paper cambric was used. Some of the boys say it was a rather thin affair. . .. 1 Rev. Jno. F. Damon preaches on allternate Eabbatl s at f e ittle and Port Madison, and on Christmas day he was presented with a neat resi dence in each one of these plaoes. Bro. Damon has surely found his Pyth ias on the Sound. And now a Junotion city preacher is accused of frequenting saloons and gambling dens. Like Beecher, he will soon lie perched "on the ragged edge of despair," and will be forgiven by his congregation snd retained as the shepherd of his flock. i A man by the name of John Patterson, formerly ot Red Wing, Minn., was murdered in the woods near Bismark on the 6th inst., and the citizens of that town offer a re ward of $500 for the apprebensioi and conviction of the murderer. The Dalles Mountaineer editor must have been .mad when be got his patent outside for the seoond week in January and found it filled with nothing but Thanksgiving poe try and stories matter that was printed throe months before in all the papers of the Union. 1 A Laramie man, with a Bible in his pocket, rushed into a saloon to help quell a row, and just as he got insido, a pistol ball flattened itself against the thick covering of the holy book. The Independent thinks this furnishes a reason why every man should carry a Bible in his pocket. The Biiowfall at Georgetown, Col., duruig the winters of 71, '72, 73, and '74 is thus reported by W. II. Cook: From October 1, 1871, to June 1, 1872, 55 feet; from November 1, 1872, to Juno 1, 1873 only 55 inches, of which 40 inches fell subseqent to March 1; during October, November and Decembor, 1873, 36 inches; during January, February, March, April and May, 1874. 126 inches. A. J. Wilson, of Nevada, courted one'girl a long while and then switched off suddenly and married another. This first love daily praotices on him with a pistol, as he passes her door, and she thinks bIio will "fetch" him after while. Ho is thinking of em- igratingby the time she gets sufficient ly expert to be able to shoot within an angle of 45 degrees of his cran ium. Hecenlly a little daughter of a Mr. Hessian of Stanislaus county was re turning home from school on horse back; when she got lost in the fog. She wandered around all night nd about daylight the next morning oame to a neighbor's house. Though she had boon in the saddle about eleven hours, through one of the darkest nights ever witnessed, she did not seem in the least alarmed, . Uushinq. We remember that a New York paper in 1860 called the new Republican party the "party of gush." The name was eminently applicable. It gUBhed into power during the war, has gushed through nearly all of the States of the Union since, and last fall completely gushed out, leaving only here and there a blubber where it disappeared under the groat political tidal wave of 1874 Paouno Saiu'ients, A snake with seventy-one young ones was killed, recently, on Alcova river, Ga., by a Newton county negro. That nigger probably expressed himself some thing like Ben. Simpson is said to have done just after the last fall eleotions : He thought "the faster you killed off the d d copperheads the more, of 'em you had to fight 1" A Gat Dkceivkb.- The editor of the Lexingson (Mo.,) Register is willing to admit that "Benjamin Franklin occasionally stumbled upon the truth." . It is the toleration shown by country editors toward suck desperate villains as Franklin that makes ns willing to bequeath our momory to posterity. Now that the Third Term business is gone up, the New York Herald and jrioune are preparing a veracious narrative that President Grant is en gaged in s plot to abdicate the throne iu favor of Susan B. Anthony, who will reign as a military dictator, sup ported by an army dressed in chemi loons. Thirsty Kansas. It must indeed be dry in Kansas, if it be true, as a local paper says, that the suffering catfish lies stranded on the blistering bottom of his late happy home, waving his tail in the crisp breeze as a signal of distress." Not i Good Dat fob tbem eitueb. A Mississippian last week found twenty young alligators on the banks of a Coahoma county lake, and cap tured half a dozen of the reptiles. Heb Sex Disoovehed.

Aic Explobeb. rA Vermonter, went South recently to pick up odds and ends, and wrote home an ao- count of a marvelous cave he had explored ; it now seems, he had walked into the mouth of a colored member of tho Mississippi Legisla ture, while the eminent law-maker was enjoying a drunken snooze. Oi Intebest to Sdban. The New York Graphic having declared that walk in the bracing atmosphere of Central Park at this season of the year makes a person feel ten years younger, has understood that Miss Susan B.

The St. Louis Journal indignantly denies that Williams, of the Norris town Herald, is laundalet Williams. That paper is bound that every man shall , stand before the community upon his own merits, so far as it is in its power to compass the end.
