Tlie St. Louis roct-DijxUch asserts that the Republican party must govern the country, regardless whether it has majority or not. From fraud to usurpation our coun try is rapidly drifting, and if the peo ple do not look to it, and that 6eedily, they wiJl have no liberties to defend. Graml Rapids Enquirer. The Democrats of the North are as much opposed to any invasion of human rigtata as are the Republicans. They have no respect for any political power .but that established by the will of the majority.

If the North accuses the South of b&rbarisni because of the shooting of Mr. Dixon, the South can replyV'You're another !" because of the shooting of Mr. Kallech a foul and utterlv un justifiable deed.

X. J Time. Whatever, remarks the New Yoik Herald, may be said of the Glover re port, its exposures will probably con vince many voters that it is well to have a change of parties and let a new broom into the departments at Wash' ingten. According to the Republican view, every man who declares that the Fed eral Government must stay where the Constitution puts it, and perform the functions prescribed by the Constitu tion, is "plotting against the integrity of the Government," and is a "traitor. Courier-Journal. There is no secession spirit in the South. The Senthern States would not go out of the Union to-morrow, even if the opportunity to do bo were offered them. There is nothing the people of the United States have so little to ap prehend trouble from as Southern seces sion. St. Louis Republican. Na amount of invective could inten sify the shame and disgust which every honorable mind feels when contempla ting the de facto President of the Uni ted States in the act of paying $1,000 of hush-money to close the mouth of one of the thieves who stole for him the vote af Louisiana. Washington Font. The New York Times is very bitter against Mr. Sherman becanse he did not abuse the "Confederate Brigadiers" and slander the Southern people gen erally, in his Maine speeches, as bitter ly as Blaine does. The Times warns the Secretary that unless he hoists the bloody-shirt on a higher pole he will make a dead failure of his campaign. What the Republican leaders want now is hate toward the South, expressed in the language of the slums. We have seen no paper yet of either party that has pretended to justify the assassination of Col. Dixon at Yazoo City. It was the ending of a cruel, bitter, relentless warfare that had sprang up and existed among men w ho held the same political views, but who had been made enemies by their ambition to become leaders. It didn't arise from the proscription of Republicans or blacks, because the? were not pro scribed. Dixon was a Democrat, as is Earksdale, the man who shot bim. Cincinnati Enquirer. The colored brethren, the Sjiringfield Republican asserts, claim to hold the balance of power in Ohio, commanding, as they say, 20,000 votes. But, al though they have always voted with the Republican party, and pay taxes on 115,000,000 of property, complaint is made that they get none of the offices. Some of the colored leaders have im proved the pending campaign to call the attention of the negro voters to this neglect, and they suggest that now is a good time to make the power of their ballots secure them their share of standing-room at the public crib. Our people long for the time -when we can have two respectable parties of nearly equal strength here, as in good days of old, when Whig and Democrat met and each found a foeman worthy of his steel ; but until the sectional party is disbanded this cannot come about. Therefore if you would under take to break our line in the South, Tvlich is now impregnable, you must begin by dissolving the party of the war of the North, which only exists by keeping alive and fresh the passions, resentments, hates and wrongs of the war.

Chicago Times. There would have been more respect shown to the civil service order in this State and elsewhere had the President given unmistakable proof that he meant the order to be obeyed, both, in letter and in spirit. The influence of the ad ministration has, unfortunately, been exerted on the side of explaining away the order, rather than insisting on its enforcement. And loth the President and the Secretary of the Treasury have shown in their selection of npjoMitees to responsible offices that they Were governeit more iy jersonai jncierv noes than by the claims of long serv Iceland acknowledged fitness. .V. 1". Tiiuis. Ihe tutlerrnccs m the Democratic party in the United States are. trunsi tory and evanescent, and will disappear in tho presence of inevitable- events. The principles upon which the great mass of the Democratic party are agiced are fundamental and eternal. In the contest of 187C tho issue was tho re storation of the government, its practi cal working and administration, to the oricriual ideas of its founders. Tho de feat of the popular will as declared in that election has raised a vastly greater issue that is, the integrity of the sys tern of self government throti"li election by the people. Samuel J. J'ilden. Roscoo Conkling may parade his pure patriotism, which everybody knows is sham ; he may inveigh against those he is pleased to call the "barbarians of the South he may bellow about "hu man righta" and "justice," but he, him self, stands before the world as a robber of domestic happiness ; a sneaking bird of prey, who plpys off his fino face ami figure, a polished libertine ; and he ap pears finally, a fowl with feathers be- draggled in the mire, a fugitive with pale, cowardly face, stealing out of (own, trembling before the justifiable rage of an indignant husband. Gunk ling is a. cowardly brute ; cowardly in politics ; cowardly on the stump ; cow ardly on the floor of the Senate. Be hold your, god, stalwarts, with blanched face, trembling lips, quivering less, sneaking like a whipped dog by nigl out of Providence, with a shot-gun pointed at his sleek carcass! Walter- ton. The Republican party, what from various causes, has never yet been a national party. The mistaken course of the Republicans tiward the South is ft positive and K-rious injury w me country. ' ' Uat we blame- in the Republican leaders is that they reject the alliance of those who hold with them in the South on most of the real questions of the day, and whom they could easily influence and control on others if they would make them al lies. They prefer a factious sectional policy, dangerous to the jx-ace of the country, iiindering its proit-rity, and constantly reviving sectional animosities and jierpetuating disturbance. This course is so wnwie ana uncalled for that if it is iersisted in they need not wonder if it shall alienate fiom them the support of largo numbers of North ern voters next year, quite enough to secure their defeat. X J', llwill. THE lEKIMCT 0F TIIK I TIKE. At some time in the future, tho read er of the history of the country will find, the Bridgeport (Conn.) Farmer thinks, that in 1880 one of tho two great political parties found it not mere ly expedient but necessary to formally appeal to the people for a restoration of the principle of fiee elections and hon est counts of votes actually cast. Won dering at the necessity of such action in a Republic, he will turn back to the records of 187G, 1877, 1878 and 1879, and there finding that a defeated Presi dential candidate was counted into the White House, and that afterwards a great political party, through tie voices and votes of its Congressional repre sentatives and the vetoes of a fraudu- ent President, maintained the princi ple of military interference with elee- tiocs and advocated the establishment of "a strong government upon the ruins of local self-government," he will won der no longer. He will recognize the wisdom of the Democratic party in calling the popular attention to the sig nificance of these facts, and he ' will concede that the Democratic appeal to the liberty-loving eople to rally to the support of their time-honored institu tions was necessary to the continuance of this Republic. BIO CREDIT VIE HIM. While Secretary Sherman is laboring with might and main and with tho aid of most intricate problems of mathe matics to make the people believe that the Republican party has been econom:- cal, we desire to call attention again to few easily-understood facts. The House of Representatives is the judge of how much money is needed to run tho government, and makes the appro priations. The Democrats have held the House four years. For that time, in gpite of the strenuous opposition of the Republican department officials, they have run- the government for $004,619,000, exclusive of interest on the public debt. For the few preceding years the Republicans held the House, and they run the government for $099, 339,000, exclusive of interest on the public debt. In other words, the Dem ocratic House lias taved the country $81,720,000 in four years.' t.t.. r.vmu os top. Sterol nry Sherman lias been very ttsy lately Hooding Ohio with bis fig res showing that his financial system is saving millions to tho government. Ills magnificent array of figures hasn't muddled Gen. Ewing in tho leust, and tho old onodegged soldier Bails into him in a way which is refreshing. Tho fol lowing selection from one of his recent sicches is a ten iblo lick at Sherman ! "Mr. Sherman claims great credit for mving succeshfully funded 84 7,000,- 000 of the publio debt into five, four- aml-alialf and four icr cent, bonds since March 4, 1877, reducing tho in terest paid by the government about $10,000,000 a year. It npHars, how ever, by the financial reoit that tho interest paid on tho public debt in 1877 was $!7,12 l,000, and' hist year $102,. 500,000, and this -year ? 105,000,000. In other word, in 187S and 1871) over $13,000,0(10 more of in to rent on tho .lebt has been jmid than when Mr, Sherman took churgo of the funding ojieration. J hat large Bum is what the oiie.ration cost. It is made, up of bo nuses in the way of public interest, and of commissions paid to the syndicate. Meantime Mr. Sherman has increased tho principal of tho bonded dubt $SG,. 000,000. It will take tho savings interest by refundiug for eight or ten years to pay off this bonded debt am! tho bonuses and doublo interest and get even on tho entire ojKration. How is the country benefitted by a nominal re duction of ten iniltions of interest, JPhcn tho reduction has hmm accom plishod-only by adding fifty per cent, to the amount of lalor or projHTty whit- it takes to pay it 1" Yttllt'M lit BKATT The Union Advocate, a jmr that is doing a good work in Maine for the Greenback cause, puts the iestio in very clear and strong way, as follows "Tho paper money of tho country is about equally divided between green backs and national bank bills. The greenback currency is furnished by the government directly to the people an bears no interest. Tho national bank bills are issued by the government to the United States banks and by the banks to tho eople tho government paying, practically, the banks five per cent, interest (on the bonds dofcited by the banks) on the bills they furnish them for circulation, at ft cost to tho Kiople of $ 1 5,000,000. Now the Dem ocrats and Greenbaczers iiroioso to substitute greenbacks for national bank bills, making the whole Mjwr currency greenbacks and save this $1.",000,000 to the people. The Republicans pro pose, through, resumption, to redeem and destroy the greenbacks, making bank bills tho only pajH-r currency, at an annual exj-ensc to tho jx-oplo of $15,000,000. THE M tftt M HI SETTB fcrrCBHHOK. The Springfield Republican's com ments will have the concurrence of a great many Republican voters. J t re marks of the facts brought out by the Wallace committee in New England The plain, unvarnished truth stands out boldly in evidence that some of our professedly best men that are promi nent manufacturers practically forbid their employes from exercising the right of suffrage free from interference. It is a disgraceful state of affairs, but we are forced to the admission that the federal supervisors were employed not to keep peace at the polls, but to keep anti-Republican voters away; that these super visors, instead of preventing fraud, en couraged it by aiding to jwrsecuto all opjtosed to the Republican candidates. It is a fact develofied by Senator Wal lace's committee that no matter who offered a Itepublican ballot it was ac cepted and no questions asked ; whereas some of the best men, socially and mo rally, and all others who were at all active in opposition to the Republican party, were carefully watched, and their every move dogged by paid spotters." AHOSC Til El It COSSTrrrESTS, Senator Slater passed here last Tues day on his way to Southern Oregon, and would be joined at Eugene by lion. John Whiteaker, our able Congress man." Together they will visit Coos Bay and other joints in that locality, and on their way back will go over to Yaquina and Alsea Bays, and then on down to Astoria. By this tour they will get a great deal of information that will prove invaluable to them in the future. All of these points are in need of assistance, and after seeing them they can judge as to their com mercial importance, and can speak and vote understandingly when appropria tions are asked for either of these local ities. It is refreshing to see represent atives take such an interest in the af fairs of their constituents. A C'OBKECT t O.NSTKllTIOX. The Cleveland Leader, (Radical) places this construction upon General Grant's alleged withdrawal from the contest for the Republican Presidential nomination : "lie does riot say posi tively that he will not nnd3r any cir cumstances accept a nomination. He will not, if the party calls him unanimously and peremptorily, refuse to serve. Of course there will be a good many Democrats and anti-Grant Republicans who will pretend to see in all this ouly an adroit bid to have a third nomination for President forced upon him."

These on heir way to Kansas have to pass through St. Louis, where thoir destitute condition rendered it necessary that some relief should bo afforded them. he Relief Board it seem does not wish to send any mora negroes to Kan sas, knowing the sad fate that awaits them in that inhospitable section Nearly 400 wore then in St. Louis ten niless and in want of food, while largo mitotan were hourly expected to arrivo on tho Halliduy and Centennial steam era. Under these circumstance thore appeal to l n growing dioitiou to parcel these Republican voters out among tho close States of the North- went , just as tho Republicans used to colonize on the Democrats in Wilming ton and lUloigh, during the city elec tions. It is required under the Const i tution of these States that the person offering to voto shall have resided there a year before ho lwcoine entitled to cast his lallot. So to accomplish their fraud under tho forms of law it will hs necessary to placo these, dusky voters before next November, if they are to voto at the next Presidential election. After No vember it will lie too late. Voters can then no longer bo mado to order ; and the oxodua will cease. Tli important tol$ these strolling voters are to play next year is more discernible if wo consider that Hayes' majority in Illinois was less than 2,000, while Tilden, a! though carrying Indiana fell short of ft majority of votes there by more than 4,000. It will take but few hands from the Mississippi sugar plantations to torn the tide in either State, and perhaps tho succession in the government de- ends on the vote of either Illinois or Indiana. Let no one put aside ths idea here ad v a need as being too novel to be probable, or suppose that the plan of operations u too cumliersoiue to be practicable. This scheme to capture the vote of Suto by the importation of negroes is easir of sccoropliahment than the plan which Sherman and his co -conspirators successfully carried out in 1876 to ob tain by fraud the electoral colleges of three States which had already cast Democratic-majorities. Both, however, seem to be almost beyond the pale of possibility ; but one has been accom plished and the other is in progress and being worked to the spjstrent satisfac tion of the Republican lenders. AV leljh (X. () Olwrer, BUHTEB BLAISE. The returns from the Maine election are still incomplete, remarks the New York Star, hut they are quite snflictent to settle the only question in which people outside of the State took much interest. The question related to Mr. Blaine's ability or inability to carry his own Stale, and the settlement of it shows that ft majority of the Maine voters are hostile to the "plumed knight." Hie prodigious efforts he made to se cure the election of Mr. Davis, the Re- publiian candidate for Governor, by s direct vote of the fteople, show how thoroughly ho appreciated the import ance to himself of such ft result. It is one of the unwritten laws of American oliiic that the man who as pires to become a candidate of either party for the office of President of the United States must, as ft condition of his nomination, be able to satisfy the National Convention that he can secure the vote of the State of which he is a citizen in the Electoral College. Mr. Blaine acknowledged the obliga tion of this law, and brought a'.l his re sources to bear upon the canvass. His friends likewise admitted its binding force and devoted themselves with an energy suited to such ft crisis in the fortunes of their political hero. It was a desperate fight, and although the opposition does not score a victory, Mr. Blaine suffers a crushing defeat. A week ago lis star was lord of the Eastern ascendant. A week hence it will have dwindled to the proportions of an asteroid. Not even the electric eloquence of the gifted Ingersoll can restore the fallen Republican idol to the lofty pedestal upon which it once stood. "POLICE! POLICE r "Are you armed, sir 1" and Conkling replied, "No I'm not !" "Then," said ex-Govornor Sprague, "I will give you five minutes to get off these premise8,and if you are not away I will fire at you." And the daughter of Chief Justice Chase stood between her husband, the ex-millionaire and ex-Governor of Rhode Island, on the one one side, and her friend, the leader of the Republican party and the fierce hater of Southern responsibility, on the other, and then ordered her children and her trunks to be sent to her at the hotel. And now we say had this thing happened at the South and among Southern people, there would be no end of gratuitious insults heaped upon us by such cold-blooded fellows as Senator Conkling and his abettors, and we had been told by a million of Northern voices to mend our plantation manners.

A French letter says : Wheat looks very bad; it Is yellow, sickly, stunted, and the fields present very numeteus bald patches. The vines do not look hopeful. There will be a serious diminution of fruit. Farmers are clearly making up their minds that they wilt have to part with every bead of stock, the consequence of a certain deficiency to be expected in provender. A dispatch from last Tuesday re ports new wheat threshed ao far un satisfactory In yield and quality, and deficient even in districts where It was expected to be favorable. In several departments new wheat fetch ed from three to four francs per quin tal less than old, some of it requiring several months drying before it can be milled. The United States consul at Man chester, Eng., says that the failure of crops Is much more serious than gen erally supposed abroad. The demand In England for meats and grain will bo enormous.

There are indications of bad blood between the royal princes of Europe, There io coolness between Russia and Germany, on tho other hand Germa - ny and Austria aro growing close to gether. Germany wants Holland and perhaps Belgium. France wants Alsace and Loraine back again. Ger many also wants to govern all Ger man speaking people ; Austria wants to extend south. Thus complications are arising that may at length cul minate In war. We advise them all to hold off until they have secured one good crop, but if they are bound lo have a row we will do our best out here on this coast to keep them in breadstuff. . " Walla Walla Statesman: It is a grand Bight to see the enormous amount of wheat continually being unloaded at the depot.

They ship 441 tons to Waltula every day. Last Saturday there was 2,000 tons ready for them.
