It is about time for the Republican party to quit howling alout war issues.

Attorneys, mem tiers of the Legislature and county officers, uud in the following Noveni'ier is tho Presi dential and Congressional election. All of these occurrences call for uc t ion on the part of our party. Do not forget t'mt tho Republicans will be wide awake on these matters. Keen now they arc "laving their pipes" for the conflict, and are stationing their pickets in tho different counties. In Linn we have heard of their tricks and maiieu vrg, and we doubt not that they have been equally alert in other counties. They will organize and arrange for the conflict, and our jwrty should not he behind 'them ia tho matter. The vari ous county committees should proceed with the work of organization, and the Stato Committee alionhl resort to early and prompt action. Oregon is politi cally Democratic, when' a full vote is cast, and by effective organization we can secure that vote, but not otherwiee.

Prof. Walter Harrows, son of Rev. Dr. William lianows, is on a visit to that country, uud an account of Lis visit, given by tho Reading Journal, contains the fo'Iowing paragraphs : The Argentino Republic must be a a paradise for Groonbackera. for Mr, Barrows was paying at the hotel a thousand dollars a mouth for board in paper money. That would be a dollar a day here, where paper money is so slighted uud field back I if a man there were aMe-liodioU anil hail a large valise ho might start of on a trip with money enough to last a week, if too much of it were not fractional currency, Ibe cur rency is gold and paper, no silver, though the Government is called tho Areentine u e., Silver Republic.

Tho Indian problem promises to be one of the most impoitant questions before Congrets at tho iippic iiehing session. Some timo ago Congress culled upon tho Treasury Department for informa tion as to fho amount of money that hnd been expended for the ludinn eer- vice since the beginning of tho Govern ment, but for the luck of nn appropria tion to print the statement has not yet been put iu tyiiO. It muy bo stated, however, that the footings ef this im mense muss of fables (.how that to the 1st of hist July fho GovcriiiiH-iiti has expended on account of tho Indians a total of ei!?l, 000,000. Tho estimated number of Indians now living is ,"00,- fOOO. Indians say that a white man is very uncertuin, and in this Mr. 1m appears to have, learned romething by expert- ... . . ... V ence. Abstractly viewed, a in dian may be ono of Nature's noblemen, but in tho ciiticiete, so to remark, the unadorned reulity, he is a dirty, thieve ing rascal, whoso liiotal seuribilitic, if he ever had any, have been cm rupted by long asssiu I ion with bail white men. Reservation for such elements, located in rich mining or agricultural legions, have l-een, nnd alw Aji s w ill tie, a delu sion and n snuiu (. Indian and whin, man. M.ij Carsmi, w ho has just returned from the Vent, avs that, whihi he is tint an ex-rt in Indian matters, the origin tf the present difli culty presents to dinicuby to him. lie u the excitement In all parts of Col orado uvcr the mineral developments is almost inconceivable. 1'vcryoun hss the mining ftivcr, and stotii-sof sudden ly acquired weulih arc on eveiy tongite. Hie daily arrivals at Denver nuniVR-r from .'itiO to 1,000 individuals. People scarcely stop to talk of profits amount ing to anything less than millions, and, mote significant than all else, is the fact that mysterious rumors are circulating of mines in the Vt countrv richer than have yet Wen found in the !c;id viilo region. Thu Indians know as well as others that all this means ex pattialion or f xlermiiiatiott for them utile the Federal Government holds its word as sacred when it pledge it to the red mail as it doc when it pledge it to the w hito man. Msj. Carson fears that an army ten times the strength of that of the Federal Government could not long protect the Indians under tie circumstances. After all that has been said about our Indian 4'!icy, aud all the evil that has come from tho doing of rascally agents, tho truubht is not so much the result of thut as of au inherently bad system. Tho reservation system has been productive .f ill results tinder whatever ulicy it has lecn adminis tered. Indian wilt nut stay on their reservations, and white men wilt not stay cfT of them Year after year the army has U-en i ngitgnd in putting In uians on and wtiitu men on ; and one has cursed the in my while tho other has fought it. If the hunting is better oil the reservation than on it, tho In dian will go oil to hunt, and trouble begins. If there is gold or silver on tho reservation, real or susiiccted, white men will go there to delve nnd dig, and again thero is war. And so, if tho In dian llureuu cannot take caro of the redskins without tho army, the army can tsko care of them without the aid of tho bureau, nnd by tho transfer all interests would bo as well served, while several millions would bo saved annu ally to tho Treasury. The fellows who hold "fat positions," with btcalings, in the bureau would bo tho only sufferers by the change. The Postoffice Department is making some lively times lately. In his war on the lottery compauies, and refusal to deliver mail to them, tho Postmaster General will be sustained by public sentiment ; but in ono of his late or ders about imperfect Jy-addrcsscd lctteis, Deacon Key has aiscd a very largo sized hornet's nest about his cars. Un der this order post mast crs are foibidden to forward letters not addressed to the exact designation of tho post-oflico and Stato for which they aro intendod. A letter addressed to a certain number and street, New York city, or to Bos ton or Chicago, will not be forwarded, but roust bo returned to tho doad-letter oflice, or to the writer, if ho is known Tho postal clerks know that Boston is in Massachusetts, and that Chicago is in Illinois ; but Mr. Key thinks it is hotter that they should presutno not to know anything about it, and that the writer should be punished for omitting to put the Stato on his direction. Here tofore letters so addressed that the des tination was well understood have been sont along, but hereafter postmasters and clerks are to bo just as ignorant as they can. Tho PostofUce Department ia maintained for the convenience of tho people, but Mr. Key thinks it is simply kept up fur himself and em ployes to draw their, salaries. It used to be the pride of tho Department that even badly or imperfectly addressed lot tew promptly found their' destination. Now the! P. If. G. flutters himself that it takes u i rclty smart man to so ai- (Ircxfl a letter that the authorities can not find Home excuse for sending it to the dead letter office. It is stated that this new system causes the seen til illa tion in such ollices as Boston aud New Yolk of from o00 to 1,000 letters per day, which formerly there was no trou ble in delivering. By the wuy, this re minds mo of tho history of n letter which, seven tears. hi;o, Mr. Albro L, I'drsnn", a resilient t.f Nashville, Tenn., wrote to Miss Julia Mays, i.f Iondon, Knglund, which, from marks on the en velope, cei tuinly reached Imdon. On the olh of last month it was found tery in) stei ioiihly iua street leln r U,x in Imist tile, Ky. From that ciiy, tho postm.ul; being Nashville, it was sent to the hitter place, and thence to I he dead letter oflice, where it vfM osni'd Kiel returned to Nushvillc for delivery, , with a nipiest for an explanation. The Nashville postmaster, ascertaining that Mr. Parsons was living in Denver, sent tho letter to him. lln therefore got his original luiitiusoript M-ven years after hn wrote it, and when Miss Mays, tho lady for whom the letter was in tended, hud lieen hb wife for six years. The mystery is how tho letter got back to this country, not being mailed un claimed, and how it found its wsy in'o the street letter box at louisville. The Oclolier term of the Supreme Court opened on Monday, all the Judges la-tng present except Justice Hunt, who is too ill to come, and who will in all probability never occupy his scat again. It is said that Congress will 1x3 asked to retire him this winter, aud that At torney General Devcus wants the place, I don't think it is tho duty of Congress in the picient emergency to do any thing of the sort. There is tiartiaan ship enough in the couit already, and it would be as well to pustKue the need hra creation of any fuithcr vacancies until lifter the HNplo have siKiken on tho subject of the next Presidency, It is ipiite likely that the party which has been putting its tools on the bench for twenty years past won't have the nam- iii! of another for a while. After the M-rformance of ' Bradley and his asso cia'.es in the 1 Sectoral Commission bua inesf, the tieople have lost some of their reverence f r the court at imwtit constituted. PHONO.

Merry, of The Dalles - land Empire, is " after ''am " in the right stylo. Hear him : The Publishers' Convention held at the Union County Fair agreed to pub lish the names of all advertisers who ran away without paying their bills, also the amount they owe ; they like wise njrreed to shut off all wl o were in arrears over ono year for subscription, and to publish their names aa soon as thirty days had elapsed f'ora and after their discontinuance. This is correct and proper, and although we were not a member of that convention, we pro pose to adopt their rules and five up to them. In another part of this paper wo give the "black list of tneir adver tisers, together with the amounts they owe. Th s has become an absolute ne cessity, especially in Oregon, where men who would never think of jump ing a board bill will walk away from a newspaper bill with the utmost noncha leuce. No ono thinks of condemning them, but the poor printer who ia made to sutler from their dishonesty is put down as one " who will never pay no body." We are glad to see such steps taken by our brethren to the East of U8, and hope they will live up to the rulea they have laid down for the gov ernment of one and all in this business. It will do a power of good hereafter. CIIAKUE IVXOKEU.

Ex-Sheriff Dale la still in jail at Lafayette, and will remain there un til alter Supreme Court, as his case was appealed and a stay of proceed-i!;r-3 granted, THE ELEfTIO IS YIBtlSM. A most remarkably spirited contest is now in progress in Virginia, the re sult of which will be descrilsMl by tho election in that Hlato on the 4 th prox imo next Tuesday. Tho contest is be tween two antagonistic parties on tho subject of tho proper adjustment of tho State debt. One parly, termed the Re adjusters, favor a foicible settlement with the State's creditors, staling their willingness to pay threo per writ', inter est on the debt lifter West Virginia's f.haro has been subtracted. They pre charged by their opponents with aim ing at ultimate repudiation, and their projKised manner of deuling with the creditors of the State is certainly very arbitrary. Tho other Jiarty, tho Fend ers, composed of the liest men in Vir ginia, is rallying around what is known as tho McCuHocli bill. Under tho pro visions of this bill one-third of the debt would lie scaled off to West Virginia, and then tho State would pay on the balance three sr cent, for ten years, four jer cent, for ten yearn, and five per cent. -for twenty-five years, with con Kins. under llos plan the accrued and unpaid interest would bo capital ized, thus bringing l to Hckriowlcdgcd debt of the Stule up to aumt 32,000,- 000. Provision is also made for a sink ing fund of two tier cent, to go into ef fect in ISM. We see that the distin guished oflicrr Gcncial Mshone. is lead ing the foices of the "Forcible Read justees," while we also note that Gen eral Fitzhugh la-e is on the side of the "Funders. " The canvass that is going on is vety spirited, some two or three hundred speakers Isdng on the slump. Things will therefore la red hot in the Old Do minion until tho 4th of November, tho day of election. It is thought that the up(Krtcrs of the McCulloch plan will be successful. They include, as m rule, most of the bit incut men and also of the conservative leaders. We trust that the (strty will be Kuccessfnl w hich favors the best, fairest and most honor able adjustment cf tho indebtedness, and espx-Ully that the Old Dominion will cast no vote that would bo an ex ample of repudiation for h' r younger sistt-r States of the South. rAiiric AsTi:Ba.

THK ATI-4MIEK BO!!. The people of the E.st seem to think that the Chinebe are terribly persecuted on this Coast by the Kearnoyitcs aud others of that class. To prove to them that they are mistaken, and that the feeling against tho Chircso extends through and embraces all classes of so ciety oh this Coast we have otdj to quote the result of the late election in California. At that election the people voted a separate ballot for or against Chinese immigration, and the result was 8S3 in favor aud 154,038 against It ia almost needless to say that the people of the other Pacific States and Territories are fully as unanimous in their feeling against the Chinese as are those of California.
