OFFICIAL PAPER FOR OREGON,
eAVIt CONglKTEXCY.
As sb illustration of how Uie Pres-
iJsut's practice tally with liU nti
Cutholio utterances we will here cite
a few instances which will be readilj
appreciated br Oregouiuns especi
ally. At the Des Moines soldiers'
reunion last fall he openly annulled
the Catholics, charging theui with
lieing enemies to our frie Govern
ment atid oar free schools, an in hit
lata Message he took special pains to
hnrl a vicious stump speech at them,
wherein he reiterated his Den Moines
Utterances in even broauor language.
But in what singular contrast with
all these anti-Catholio bawlings is
his oeurse in making appointments
in Oregon! Jlem. 1st. He has re
cently appointed Major Connoyer,
(Catholic.) Indian Agent at the Uma
tilla reservation, and turned over the
Indian school there to the Catholic
priests . and teachers. 2J. A few
months ago he appointed Dan. Ma
larkey, (Catholio.) V. S. Marshal for
Oregon, rice Toting, (anti-Catholic,)
removed. 3rd. He alto removeJ
Henry Warren, (Baptist,) and ap
pointed in his stead S. J. McCor
miek (Catholio) to be t'. S. Tension
Agent for Oregon. 4th. He has,
van since the issuance of his last
phillipic against the Cutholics ap
pointed P. B. Sinnott (Cstholic) as
Indian Agent at Grand' Conde Res
ervation, end a priest is Chaplain
and spiritual director of the Indians
there, while the Sisters have full con
trel of the Indian schools.
f mention these facts with no
intention to fight the Catholics, be
cause we entertain no ill will towards
them, but for the purpose of showing
the utter emptiness and hollow
raecksry of Grant's anti-Catholic
sentiments. Tl.e foregoing state
ments shew that one-half of the
Federal patronage which he controls
in Oregon is bestowed upon Catho
lics; while the remaining one-half is
doled out among such eminent Chris
tians (!) as Bn. Simpson, Ben. Un
dented, MeJoru:n Crawford, Harve
Scott aid One-Arm Browu !
What a sweet pink of consistency
the Great Ulysses is to be sure ! No
wonder Bishop Haven and other
Methodists want him in office again;
he is doing so much for the proroga
tion of the Protestant religion in the
United States and is so persistently
and effectively uprooting the Catho
lics! Out upon suck accursed hypoc
risy! TssrorMiEiTstaiiis ottoNciirse
We find the following in the
Washington correspondence of the
Baltimore Gatctte of Ike '2'hh ult.
"Lafayette Lane, of Orvgon, thi
youngest Msmber of the present
Hoase of Keprejentatives, is a hon
of General Jot Laue, who, in 1H(0,
was a candidate on the Breckenridge
ticket for Vivo President. The Gen
eral at present resides on his farm
near Bosebnrg, Oregon, and, al
though nearly eighty years of age,
is as vigorous, mentally sod physi
cally, as when be occupied a fceat
in the United States Senate. Lufav
ette Lane is a lawyer by profession,
and previous to his election to Con
gress served a term in the Oregon
Legislature. Two years ago he was
selected to revise the code of that
State a task for which he was emi
nently qualified. Mr. Lane is said
to be an eloquent speaker, and, pos
sessing industrious habits, will no
doubt prove a very -useful and effi
cient Member."
Ax Ensoul, TisnrRNEMi. Grant
has now again sent to the Senate the
appointment to be paymaster of one
Maynadier, who was dropped out of
the army in 1870, and whom the fe-n-ate
at its lost session would not con
firm, pigeon-holing his nomination.
Grant slubborniy persisted in his
pnrpese of getting Maynadier Lack
into the service, and appointing him
again as soon as the benaiou m
over. Last Winter he reduced to
suspension a sentence of dishonora
ble dismissal pronounced upon Com
mander Quaeleebuth of the navy, a
fallow who had been once before dis
missed for disgraceful conduct.
These sre two out of many instances
of like sort since Grant came into
power. Tua New York Sn si,e
that he seems to have an etpeciul
tenderness for dismissed officers und
a fondness for aain clothing theu,
with uniforms.

The question will be immediately
asLed, by an anxious public, will the
Democrats, if they are restored to
power, do anything towards reducing
these enormous ciponditures. For
answer we point them with pride to
the new Democratic House of Repre
sentatives which has already com
menced the good work, and gives
promiso of cutting down the cvponsos
of tho government to the tun of
ibout forty millions a year. Mr.
Handall, Chairman of the Commit
tee on Appropriations, sees his way
clear enough already to save the forty
millions, and it is probable that still
more may be made. That will be
good enough at any rate, Ferty
millions saved by one session of a
Deuiocratio Congress! when it has
iiicisssed almost ut the sumo rate by
every session of a litidical Congress!
At this rate of reduction a few years
of Democratic rule iu each Depart
ment weuld clear tho country of
debt, bring new life into tho Repub
lic, peace would reign and prosper
ity be general. And with this great
end in view tho people will restore
that grand eld party to power once
mora.
The number of men at present
maintained in the standing armies
of civilised nations is not less than
3,000,000. All those are snatched
av from useful industries and con
demned to idleness and vicious lifo,

Ono of the very best signs of the
timos is tlis growing disposition of
ths people to look to their public in
terests, and especially to the mannor
of the disbursement of the public
moneys. I'.isngood omen of im
provement !n all branches of govern
ment, and the bnuishment of wasto
and cori iiplioti. It is right that they
should look carefully to those mt
tcrs, end hold their public servants
to a strict accountability. Under a
system like ours, whert every man'
has pjivomil interest iti ! lie conduct
of governmental affairs, i; is fatal to
the general weal, fur citii. us to be
come careless and iujifloreut to roat
tois Tihicli so nearly concern them.
The general demand for retrench
ment, economy and reform should
ta strictly enforced, and the people
should we to it that their treasure is
guarded Wastefulness and extrav
agance produce corruption, debt,
and general demoralization, sud each
of theso has its natural following of
sorrow, depreion and i-alamily.
The press of the country has, for
some time past, been doing giant
work in behalf of tho people in this
connection. Its fearless exposure of
fraud and peculation and discussions
of all proposed moasures, have had
a most saltilory effect. Let the press
keep the facia before tho public, and
let tho poolo think aud act upon
them, sud the country is safe.

This llille itoin in of more impor
tance than a Cm glance would war
rant.. It Is of that delestiblo class
of hurrah nonsensn which hoisted
old Tippoosnoe and be Linooln in
to tho Presidential chair. As a
class, tho Americau oeoplo are fools,
liable to be led off ly some dema
gogue confidence mm into any and
all kinds of extravagance. Grant is
now aiming to make himself the do
feudcr of tho methodist faith and
tho protector of public schools while
if his private history wore known it
would discloso that ths brazsn-faoed
ipnnr.'imus scurcoly knows as much
about tho sciences or arts as a major
ity or fie boi s over sixteen years of
nge now unending our public lichuola.
And s to his religious instincts or
predilections, it is well known now,
that his moral character would not
stand for three days beforo an inves
tigating cornmitUio of Plymouth

deal.
But depend upon it, Grant and his
henchmea are preparing for a cam
paign in which the "Old Log School
House" will play a prominent rart.
Oraut is to be the central figure, the
defender of the ancient aforesaid
with a mob of catholic nuns and
monks on the aggressive. And all
this too in the faee of the fact that
tho Democratic party his been
tho aethor of more putilic school
systems in the several states than any
other party which have existed iu
this country. The Democratic parly
is a parly of education from necessi

and its death will be preceded by
barbarism.

TVS CKNTaMftlAl. IN COXURIttti,
In the Houae, yesterday, in Com
mittee of the Whole on ths State of
the Union, Hopkins of Pennsylvania,
Chairman of the Select Committee on
Centennial Celebration Appropria
tion, spoke in liohslf of the bill, llu
said;
The National honor was involved
in the suocess of the exhibition, and
that thew ccsib.1 ho no extremity ol
financial distress that ought to cause
an American Cflngroaa to falter in
voting an appropriation topresorve
tho good namo of the Oovernmont,
an National unity was valueless with
out National honor, lteferrinp; to
the National advantages of the cele
bration, ho said that, one of these
would be to show that Southern
peoplo wore neither Dukes of Alva
nor Spanish inquisitors, but were
men and brethren. Tho spirit of '76
would breathe its influence on the
people, and under that inllaynce all
animosities ami nil angry weinorioa
would fade away. Ilia pas:iago ol
tho penning bill, by ths aid of those
the sincerity of whose patriotism had
besu unjustly questioned, would con
duce to that consummation devoutly
to be wished,
Waddcll of North Carolina followed
in a speech, reported as follows:
If it was supposed that ths irritat
ing discussion of Inst week would
have driven Southern men awny from
the support of this measure, ho sin
oorcly trusted that the result of ths
vote wcuhl only add another illustra
tion to the many already givon of
how utterly imposFihle it is for some
people to understand and appreciate
the spirit that animates other people.
He and his associates aoqaitted their
Northern broth ren of all responsi
bility for that discussion. They had
understood fully, for it was trans
parent, the motive which underlaid
the introduction of that subject, aud,
attaching to that motive its exact
vsluo, they limply looked down upos
and passed by the whole subject.
ThcT wished tbe disturbers of the
public peace to understand that, not
withstanding tho spirit exhibited,
they were too good patriots and too
sincero men to allow that spirit
either to control them or to serve
as an example for them. They
wished to maintain the honor and
character of the American Union,
and they would do so if they were
allowed.' One element in the House
had not len heurd from in that dis
cussion, the element of Southern sol
diers in tho late war, of whom he was
one. They had sal in silence and
taken the 'fire which the gentleman
from Maine Dlainej had opened on
them, with no other feelirig than that
of gratitude of having escaped from
bo terrible an encruv as he I Blaine I
must have been during the battles of
the late war. If, now, when mat
gentleman's hair wae silvering, and
his natural force perceptibly abating.
be could develop such intensity of
spirit, bow must uis plume have waved
ia the forefront of that conflict which
had occurred at a time when hel Blaine
wu young and strong and healthy.
That element had not yet spoken. It
could not be goaded into discussion;
on the contrary, it hud exhibited a
spirit which he believed the American
people would not eeos forcel. It met
a storm of hnte and persecution as
the awan meets the billows with a
breast of down. He knew souis gen
tlemen who had leeu engaged iu tbe
same cause with him, who hid not
it tended to vote for this measure be
foro thatdiseussion.but now intended
to support it us to let an example
of patriotism. If there were any of
tliein who still opposed this, he ap
pealed to them to unite with him in
doing an act which could enly pro
mote the honor and idvance the in
terests of thl country, sad tbe peace
anil happinou of the people.
