The cars were impeded by a snow storm is Illinois last Sunday. The President has signed the Civil Eights Bill, and now ft nigger is bet ter than a white man. A paper box manufactory burned at Philadelphia last Monday, and 800 girls are thrown out of employ ment. A special session of the Indiana Legislature is in session. Cause, the regular session's failure to pass nec essary laws. Andy Johnson took his seat in the extra session of the Senate last Fri day, and was received with cheers and bouquets. A New York church fell down last Sunday week while filled with peo ple at worship, and 6 persons were lulled and 25 injured. The public debt statement for Feb ruary shows a decrease of 6,680,1b3. But then the New Hampshire elec tion had to be provided fori The heaviest snow storm for years fell throughout the Eastern, middle and Western States last Sunday. Bailways blockaded in many places. The freshest rumor is that Attorney-General Willams is to be nomi nated Minister to Bussia, and ex Senator Carpenter to be appointed Attorney General. Beecher is fast receiving new mem bers into Plymouth Church. Four teen 'joined last Sabbath. Well, some folks prefer that way of going to Heaven anyway. , Thi Boston Post has found out what made the last winter so cold. Elder Lutz, of New Haven, las been delivering a series of lectures on "Hell closed for Bepairs." The sick juryman in the Beecher trial is well again and the trial goes on. Nothing new is doveloped save -some mora maudlin love-sick poetry and a hired girl's disgust at being snubbed by Tilton. Victoria Woodhull threatens Gen, Tracy, Beecher's lawyer, with a libel suit because he said in his address that she was the most notorious pros titute the world had ever known. Some people are so sensitive. The Democratic Sonators want to adjourn the extra session of the Sen ate as soon as the Hawaiian treaty is disposed of, but Bepublicans insist on remaining in session until 1 inch beck is given his seat and the Louisi ana Kellogg Government recognized, The President has nominated God- love S. Orth, minister to Austria, and Horace Maynard, minister to Turkey ex-member of Congress, C. C. Sheets, of Alabama, sixth auditor of the Secretary, vice J. J. Martin, appoint ed post master at Montgomery, and D. S. Wade for Chief Justice of Mon- taua. On the 18th inst. the Legislature m alanfait S .T McMillan to the "U. 8. Senate. He is at pres- ent Chief Justice of State Supreme Court; is a man of moderate ability and unimpeachable integrity, and has always been a Republican, but having been on the bench for many years, has not been en active partici pant in politics. Among the measures of general interest before the late Congress, which failed, are the following: The ' general amnesty bill, passed the House December, 1873, never consid ered in the Senate; a bill for tho protection of elections, known as the "force bill," passed the House after ten days' debate, but only reached second reading in the Senate from an indisposition to permit a suspen sion of the habeas corput; all the postal telegraph bills also failed; bills to protect navigable waters of the United States from injury and ob structions; the Frenoh spoilation bill; one to establish a bureau of in ternal commerce; the pension bill for soldiers of the Mexican war; tho Omaha bridge bill; MoCreery's bill, regulating commerce by railroads ainonir the several States; the bill to repeal the pre-emption aud home stead laws, and the bill for the ad mission of New Mexico as a Slate. The Northern Paeifio and all other railroad aid bills failed, execpt a few grauting simply right of way..., i i CUTTINU IAMWK. On the first page we publish an ae eouufc of a rich scene in the North Carolina Legislature in whioh, the speeches of two prominent Republi can members are given in full, re nouncing oil allegiance to the Re publican party and pledging future devotion to the crest Democratic- Conservative party of the country Thus: 'One by one thi row. wll hnf, UM by ou tb Iv.vm 4uoay," until a year or two more will see the last waning ftaxlios of Radicalism as it passi'S forever out of sight. Th Independent party talks of or ganizing in California. They held a convention at Stockton recently and while in session some fellow bawled out at tho door: "Candidates are re- qnesteil to stup down stairs for a few .i,.,iiin" Then everybody went ilown stairs excel. t a dmt old follow who wanted to run for jailor. Oh ,,! (hey don't want offiBl Guess not! rcf TILL SW1NGIN6. If we may believe the telegraphic dispatches Andy Johnson is still swinging 'round the circle outside of the two great political parties and expresses himself as being entirely on his own hook. And in the face of this sort of political oscilation we observe that some Democratic papers in the Bast want him for our candi date for President! For our port we don't intend to stand any more of such foolishness. Andy Johnson may change about "with every wind of doctrine" as much as be pleases, but we want the Democratic party to once more close a solid wall around its time-honored principles and put forward as leaders only those who are now and have been in the past in full sympathy and accord with those principles upon which our government was founded and upon which alone it con be prosperous. The theory may be true as to the past, that nations from the earliest ages, have been changing their forms of government, but such a theory is hardly tenable for the future, lne advance of civilization throughout the world, the diffusion of knowl edge, the rapid advance of intelli gence, forbids the thought that many nations of earth can, or will, ever be crushed beneath the iron heel of des potism, as in ages of the past. Cir cumstances may arise to give tempo rary control to the vile and unprin cipled, as of late in our own country, but we have the pleasing hope and consolation that "Error never was fully established; wrong never thor oughly occomplishcd, for Truth and Justice wage eternal war against them." Democracy means the government of the people, and this political axi om is the corner stone, the very bed rock upon which the original struct ure of our Government was erected. Our fathers, with almost superhuman wisdom, gleaning from the past his tories of the world,' were taught to avoid the rocks upon which the dead Republic were wrecked embody ing in our great magna charta the hereditary instincts of the race from which we sprung, declaiming in tones never to be forgotten, there were rights which could not be ignored, or token away from individuals, or nations, the right to form such gov ernment as the people thereof Bhould require, to secure unto themselves and their posterity the greatest amount of liberty and happinesB. Our old constitution based upon this fundamental principle, that ma jorities should rule, with full pro tection to rights of minorities, in augurated a new era in human af fairs, setting up a government basod upon popular will, securing to each individual the right to life, liberty and prosperity. This, then, means Demoracy the people are masters the officials are their servants. It means exact jus tice and equality before the law, to all porsons. It means, unobstruct ed, to guide this, our Ship of State, down the great ocean of time, with soil unfurled, her Star Spangled ban- flaunting defiantly in the breeze, bearing within her the world's best hope of human happiness. But there is one thing Demooracy does not mean, notwithstanding the funer al dirges that toll the rexjuicucal in peace, in solemn mockery over the great expanse of our ntarly ruined country; Democracy does not mean to always be led to defeat by rene gades and time-servers from other parties. We don't charge that Andy Johnson is a renegade or a time- server, but we do say that he pro fessed allegiance and devotion to the Constitution and the Democratio party when he was elected United States Senator a few weeks ago, and if he has now declared his intention to serve with no party and has re fused to go into the Democratio cau-J cus with all tho other Democratic Sonators, then he is false to his promises and pledges to the Demoo racy of Tennessee, and should be no longer claimed as a champion of De mocracy or urged as a Presidential leader. To use a homely phrase, we want a "square-toed Democrat" or nobody as a Presidential candidate in 1870. With such a man as Thur- mau, or Heudrix, or a score of othor true and tried champions of Democ racy whom we could nsrao, and a vigorous fight for the great princi ples of which our party name is the exponent, we cannot fail. But if we do go down, thon it may be said of us, that like the groat SeottiKU chief tain, we died, "With our back to the field and our feet to. the foe, looking proudly to heaven for a death-bed of fame." L, ;.' I g The Chronicle thinks the defense in the Boecher case has not opened auspioiouely, so fur as the testimony is conerned. Ovingten, the first witness called on the part of the de fendant, when subjected to cross-ex amination, contradicted every state ment he had made in tho direct, and involved himself in a perfect laby rinth of confused equivocation. If the rest of the Tlymoth Church wit neusee are not more atouipliiihed swearers than this unhappy gentle man, the case of the pastor is des perate. SavKBWAUK want be scarce Maryland. Butler has just declined to deliver an Agricultural speech there next fall. TBBY OATH BR THEM IN. And now we see that Hon. Henry Warren has been removed from the office of Receiver at the Land Office in Oregon City, and L. B. Harrison, of, Yamhill, appointed in his place. We have heard rumors of a proba bility of this change for some time. and are not at all surprised to learn that it has been consummated. We also understand the office is to be re moved from Oregon City toPortland The Pension office was some months ago taken away from Mr. Warren and given to McCormick, of Port land, and it is significant that the Land Office of Oregon City and the Surveyor General's office, now lo cated at Eugene are also to be re moved to the Metropolis. The con templative political mind will readily perceive why these things are thus. A great Senatorial fight is coming on in our State, and the machinery of these offices cannot be used for po litical corruptions as effectually in the cow counties as in Metropolitan politics. Multnomah, having the largest Legislative delegation (includ ing two hold-over Senators) to elect next year, must be secured to the Radicals at all hazards. That snug sum of $70,000 which Ben. Simpson and Hippie have succeeded in secur ing for U. S. Surveys in Oregon for the next two years added to the Custom House appropriations and other federal disbursements, is to be concentrated in Multnomah and used where it will do the most good" in carrying the Legislature for the Rad icals. It may succeed in Multno mah county but the scheme is so glaringly patent as well as so mani festly dishonest and shameful, that it will disgust the voters of other counties to the extent that the Mult nomah delegation will stand alone in their rotten Radicalism. JL CONTBAMT. The Pacific States are in the best financial condition of any in the Union. Oregon's debt does not ex ceed $500,000, and we don't know that it reaches that figure. Califor nia only owes $900,000, and has property enough, when disposed of, to moot this comparatively small claim; while Nevada boasts that she can pay every dollar of her in debtedness on demand. What contrast do these States furnish to poor carpet-bag ridden South Caroli na, Louisiana and Arkansas, who owe tens of millions each and have no hope of even paying up the inter est. Are not we of the Golden Pa cific a truly blessed people? ' Tui Baker City Democrat inti mates that the State Printer is hav ing the laws and journals, or some other State work, printed in San Francisco. . This is not true. The present State Printer has not had a single line of the publio printing done in San Francisco or anywhere outside of Salem or Albany. For six months past we have had from eight to twelve "praotical print ers constantly at work in Salem on the State Printing, and we expect to have the work completed and turned over to the Secretary of State within the next oight or ten days. We went San Francisco last fall for the purpose of buying a power press and other printing material and stock, and not to farm out work, as our Eastern Oregon cotemporary intimates. Bro. Shepherd, will you do us the justice to make a correction in as public a manner as you made the charge? You will surely hove the fairness to do so. In the Beeoher-Tilton trial lost week the testimony of Jos. Richards, brother of Mrs. Tilton, croated some sensation when he mentioned his en tering the parlor of Tilton'i house and saw Mrs. Tilton hastily and with a Hushed face leaving a position be side Beecher as he entered. Mrs. Moulton, a most respectable and leading lady member of Plymouth Church, also testifiod to Beecher having confessed to her his guilt, al leging that the fault was all his and no blame attached to Mrs. Tilton. Mrs. Moulton says he several times threatened to kill himself in conse quence of the great shame and scan dal which his crime had brought up on his church and family. It is universally admitted by the news paper world that Tilton has made a very strong case against the great preacher. 1 j .j Betting and pool-selling is joing on in New York, San Francisco and other cities on the virdint of the jury in the Beecher-Tilton case. The odds are in favor ot tne non-agreement of the jury. But as Beecher is now on the witness stand we don't expect the case ever to get much further. He will talk the jury to death and pray the Judge over to his side of the case, and the cause will be dismissed under the statute of limitations. I! ! 1 litmus mentions most prominently for Radical candidates for TJ. S. Sen ator from Oregon next year, Attorney General Williams and J. N. Dolph. It doesn't make much difforeuce, however, because they will only arise to the dignity of oindWofc and a Chinaman might do the Bame. The Demooracy ot Oregon are as certain to name the next United States Sen ator as five cents was certain to "fetch" a section of ginger-bread in 5f Umouri before the war. A SLANDERER ON BUI TBAVKL. Meachamisin St. Louis with his Indian show, where he is having crowded houses and lying on Oregon people. Among his Indians are Scar Face Charley, Shack Nasty Jim and Toby, the white interpreter's wife, all of whom are Modocs; Dave Hill and Tecumseh, Elamaths, and Har ney from the Grande Rondo reserva tion; and the St. Louis papers go on to state that Meacham in bis show there, "in impassioned and graphic language, gave an account of Cap tain Jack and defended his resort to arms, because, as he observed, jus tice had been denied when he was most cruelly wronged, although he had appealed again and again for redress to the proper agents. Colo nel Meacham claimed that Captain Jack was one of the greatest military geniuses of the age." The statement of Meacham that Capt. Jack and the Modocs "were cruelly wronged" is a notorious lie and a base libel upon the murdered settlers of Lost Biver. The Modoc War is now a matter of history in which those Indians ncrure as a treacherous, thieving, murderous band of vagabonds, and not as the deified heroes of the chivalric tale which Meacham so glibly spins to susceptible Eastern audiences who know nothing of the Indian charac ter save what they have drawn from Longfellow's "Hiawatha," and Coop er's "Leather-Stocking Tales." If Meacham and his Indians are only to be used as a traveling slander upon Oregon citizens our people ought to ask Grant to disband the show and remand the whole gang to their res ervation and their cricket pies. Returning to tot Fold. We see that the Placer Herald and Santa Clara Argut the only two Democrat io papers of California that followed the "Dolly Varden" party off in the last campaign, have already re nounced their affiliation with the In dependents and returned to the Dem cratio fold. The Argut, is the last to become disgusted with Independ entism, and blurts out its sentiments as follows: "The 'wonderful and noble work' done for California by the Independents is not visible to the naked eye, and we should like to haye the Reporter point out, or at least specify, the quarter in which it may be seen. The party does not monop olize all the political honesty of the State; in fact, does not possess more than a reasonable share of it, and the people are not ready to accept the idea that it alone is immaculate, and the Democratic and Republican wholly corrupt." - Now-Little- Rhode Island the blackest fly-speck in the Union is about to have a war with Grant's government. The U. S. Marshal and other federal officers in that State seized a supply of liquors at Provi dence and the Governor got up on his ear last Saturday and made a Bpesch to the Legislature threaten ing to put a head on Uncle Sam's satraps if they didn't let that lioker alone. If Rhode Island was big enough for a. swarm of blue-bottle flies to rest uncrowded upon, we might expect Grant to send a few troops over there; but there wouldn't be room enough for the soldiers to break ranks" after they had got possession of that whiskey. There fore we suppose the Governor of Lil- lipnt yHl have to dance about and the Washington Gullliver won't pay any attention to him. Hon. J. W. Nesmitu informs the Oregonian that Congress has appro priated $80,000 for improvements of Oregon rivers to be divided as fol lows: For the Lower Willamette and Lower Columbia, $20,000; for the Upper Willamette, $25,000; for the Upper Columbia, $35,000. This was engineered through the House by Mr. Nesmith and was allowed to pass the Senate without opposition. Thb Beecher-Tilton trial drags its slow length nastily along and its proceedings daily burden the tele graph with disgusting details which only nauseate without enlightening the public. It will be a relief to the whole civilized world when the entire Plymouth crew have passed from publio notice and this scandal is one of the things of the dim past. Hon. J. W. NcsMrra has placed us under obligations for an eminently ludicrous cartoon illustrating the sit uation of "things" in the Lower House of Congrens during the 4 dead look" which the Democrats had fixed up to keep the Radical majority from pepetrating the Civil Rights infamy and other festering, reeking meas ures of Radicalism upon the country. A iuxino took place in Sequoyah District, C. N., one day last week.- A man named Sanders shot and killed Rogers in the house of a Mr. Mitohel, while talking to two young ladies. It is eminently dangerous to talk to young ladies, yet some folks do it. I- i Ought to Hay Ostt.

Steamer Ajax wouldn't take any psssengers from Portlsnd last trip because she was not deemed ssfe. The spiritual seances at Wallula have been abandoned and many here tofore ardent believers up there now pronounce the whole thing a eomplete humbug. Truly it is nice to run with the Mormons. Governor Ax tell, the new Governor of Utah, has been in Salt Lake only a month, and has seen 30 publications calling him the hardest names in the vosabulary. Two Helena miners named Patrick Rock and Patrick Kelley, got into quarrel about who should cook breakfast, when Hock stabbed Eslley with a butcher knife, from the effect ot which he died in fifteen minutes. A destitute man who was kept by Walla Walla county all through the severe winter, last week got mad at the County Court and bought a first class ticket for Chicago and went off on the stage.

A Stockton man fell through a de fective sidwalk and broke his leg and now sues the city lor $500 damagss.

The Salt Lake Trib ute tells bow a game of cards saved ten miners from destruction by a recent avalanche in Cottonwood canon. They were going op to the mines, and left the trail and entered an unoccupied cabin to play a game of cards, and had barely got seated when the avalanche slid down the trail which they had left, carrying everything before it.
