Republican lea.lers in Massachusetts
are terribly scared over the piwject ol
Butler 1-eirig elected Coven.nr i f that
State. At the last election he iiolled
110,000 votes, and Lis ehitneea are a
great deal better now than tht-y were
then. Besides the Greriitiu.k vote he
lias secuied the sup)ort cf the Demo
crats, and obo the auti-ring Republi

States Aimory at Springf:t-ld, Maw.,
Kakine S. Allen, aged 70 ycais, died a
few days ago. He ha been with the
armory for fifty earx, and was pctf

the Springfield breech-loader and other
arms having been perfected ly him. In
Masonry he wait a Knight Tciiipl.tr.

''There is aloluteIy perfect agreement

if a man should loee his hih standing

A Democratic outrage has just been

General Dark not only held three of his
black servants in lwidag for twelve

left each of them $20,000. Keep your

At tho close of tho war tho people
of the South were bankrupt, and the
villainous reconstruction policy being

publican administration, prevented
them from amassing any wealth. In

Whether the South will go for hard

The following figure from the AI

answer charges which are often made
by the Radical press :
President Lincoln, whose magnanim
ity, patriotism and love of justice would
fit him for a Democratic leader were he
alive lo-day, repeatedly said that but
for -tho loyalty of the Democratic party
the rebellion would have been success
ful. A all the l'.ttle one-horse Radical
papers take special delight in deriding
tho war record uf tho Democratic par
ty, we have taken the pains to look up
a few facts, which show that of the
2,078,907 volunteers who fought on the
Union side, 1,001,027 came from Dem
ocratic States. Wo find that Kentucky
the very hot-bed of Democracy fur
nished more Union soldiers than Maine,
New Hampshire, Vermont, Connecti
cut, Minnesota, Iowa or Kansas. We
find that Missouri furnished more
Union soldiers than Iowa and Minne
sota combined, or twenty full regiments
more than Zach Chandler's domain

It so happens that the Oregonlan has
long been sending a daily to the Lafayette
"wipe," and the other day in pruning its
exchange list found it out and cut the
thing oil. It is in a terrible rage since, and
seeks its revenge by denouncing the Ore
gon ian and praising the subordinate press
of Portland. All this, however, is of no
consequence. Oregonian.
Of course it "is of no consequence,"
and still Scotty devote'd mere space to
the "Lafayette wipe" in that issue than
he did to the North Pacific Railroad.
To see Scott shake his ma no and snort

it would seem that once in a while he

ftting their debts, end in their blindness
tbey forget that Northern States some
times tio the same thing. The follow
ing little squib will give them some in
formation :
The St. Louis l'$t DUiaich publish
ea a full account of bonds repudiated in
the Bute of Kansas and Illinois. It
shows that Kansas has repudiated
$5,547,000, and that sixteen different
counties and sine cities refuse to pay
tne interest on their debts, which ag
gregate tho sum of $3,547,000. Sev
enteen counties and flvecitio and towns
of Illinois have refused and still refuse
to pay tbo interest on their debt, aggre
gating 93,517,000.
A CKAKD MISTAKE.
Our Republican frionds charge that
the Democrats and Greenbackers are
continually making war upon banks,
and that it will have the effect of driv
ing capital out of our country. There
is no sense at all in this charge. VYe
do make war ujion national banks, and
expect to keep it up continually, but
the abolition of the national banks and
tho repeal of the national banking laws
will in no way disturb the private bank'
ing houses. Private banks issue no
notes ; they do business on such money
as may be in circulation. The national
banks issue their own notes, and draw
interest on tl eir promise to pay. These
are the banks wo are after. They must
give way to the Government, and let it
issue its own money, and legislate for
its distribution and circulation.

Sho has hung her pettiooat "on th

candidate " for tho Presidency of tho
United States, for many years Col
Blood has fought under that banner,
and now that Mrs. W. has furnished all
American editors with her picture and
they thus ascertain that she is better
looking than the average woman suf
fragist, she will no doubt have quite
following when sho returns to tlie
United States. In fact wo think she
will be the Etanding candidate of the
editorial fraternity from year to year.

Mr. Philip Ititz, of Walla Walla,
addressed n letter laxt year to the
Hon. Alexander II. Stevonn, dcscrlb-
ii ff tho pct'uUariticsof tho grent plain
of tho Columbia, through which this
Division U soon to bo eonntrncted.
This letter wn printed for general
circulation. Tho following Is un ex
tract from tho letter:
This groat billowing aca r.f rolling
hllU oovi-red with bunch irrann,
stretelit out on to tho south to tho
forty-seeoml pnrallcl, tho Muilhcrn
boutnlrtry tf Oregon, on the north fo
tho lSrltlsh Possession, nnd eastward
to tho Illuo und Ritter P. :t Moun
tains (ofXdioot of tho Rocky Moun
tain) embracing a scopo of country
450 mile north and s iuth, t y 2'0
miloi cast und west.
I have gone over th! rcat I o ly of
wlo it country in sovomt dir;ctionc,
and havo climated It carefully by
townships, by section and by acres,
and having left out a fair proportion
for rouh land suitable only for graz
ing purpose), and estimated the wheat
at h low average for that country,
find tho ultimate capacity of these
groat plain, for tho prodjeti m of
wheat.to bo lull y 100,0u0,000 bushel
por annum, i arming has but jut
commenced In thi country ; yot, last
year t'loro wa 1,000,000 bushel
of urplu, and to show tho capacity
of tho oll, it 1 only necemury to
stato thut It U not uncommon for
largo fluid to average forty, Cfty.anJ
even sixty buheU xt acre, In some
Instance one hundred buihcl per
acre have been grown. Tiil ylold
may seem lncredUabli; to many, but
novorthelc it U a fict, and wh it t
more remarkable, there ha not been
a failure of a crop for twenty years,
where the land hai been put la prop
er cultivation, nnn seeded in good
eaon. Another very remarkable
fact about llio soil i that tho same
field have projucod uniformly tho
same groat crop for twenty year In
succebu without any fetiilir-ation.
Thi led to an anallzition of the tod
which h w It i t i ba cjnipoied of
the very clement tbt will produce
the most perfect crop of wheat in
auundanco nnd In unlimited succes
sion.
The soil i very lately md up of
volcanic ashes und carbonate f lime,
the proportion bclngalmoHt the same
a the great wheat field of C.iili, and
the Island of Sicily, and the country
bordering on thebay of Xaple, which
ha been the granary f t the South
ern Europe fjr age, and has furnish
ed Rome with wheat for mora than
2,003 year. theo UcU , with u mild
and healthful cllmaU. render this
country of great co-iimi-rclal import
ance.
Tho Norther;t I'aciHa railroad la
running from the mouth of Snake
river to Poii d'Oreille Lake would
pass directly through thi great wheat
belt, and wou! I Supply the ono great
need, fuel ao I lum'ier, which could
be brought cheaply over tho great
coal and lumber country of the Pugot
Sound basin on returning1 trains.
This extensive country I well wa
tered and at prescntco'Vered with the
nutritious bunch press, making it a
very dcsirablo country for raising
horses, cuttle, and sheep; but it is al
most unknown to commerce, where
If it had railroad facilities, there
could bo found homes and employ
ment for morn than 500,000 persons
from the overcrowded countries of
the Btlnotlc States.
In this brief article I shall but
glance at the mineral wealth of the
northern part of this country, where
there are great deposits of lead ore go
pure that tho In.di.Yn9 at times ham
mer It out Into ballets, and In every
tjn of it thero I more or les silver.
There aro also extensive and rich
gold mlnes.thut will bo worked when
machinery can ho taken into the
country; also Inexhaustible forest of
valuable soft pine."

New Yobk, Sept 27. A "Washing-
ton BiHjcial Bays: Robert G. Blaine,
Senator Blaine's brother, who ha been
assistant keeper of the senate document
room for several years, was removed by
aergeant-at Arms 13nsht to-day. limine
had been given leave of absence until
Oct. 10th, and he was dismissed with
out previous notification of any kind.
Ifo complaint was made against the
manner in which he performed his du
ties, and his removal was undoubtedly
made to make a place for some Demo
cratic onice-eeeker. Telegraph.
That was a shameful trick, and the
Democrat ought not to have discharged
him. When Republicans are in power
they always give Democrats "fat po
sitions, and- Democrats should act in
the same way.
Am&RAL Ail men has received a letter
from Gunnral Grant, over hia signature,
declarin g his interest in the Nicaraugua
Canal enterprise and his willingness to
accept the presidency of the American
campany. General Grant writes that,
after a careful consideration of the mat
ter, ho has concluded that a company
properly formed and influential enough
to secura needful concessions from the
Kicaragtian Government should in his
opinion be tmccetasful, and ho is willing
to lend his name and devote his ener
gies to the ftdvancement of such an en
terprise. He approves entirely of the
route, and agrees with Admiral Ammen
that it ia the only sensible one.
