From and alter January 1, 1875, we have
to pay the postage in advance for all of our
papers that we send through the mail to sub
scribers. We have a large number of sub
scribers who are one, two and some even
three years in arrears for their paper. To
such we will here say that we do not in the
future intend to furnish them the D e m o c r at
for nothing and pay tlieir postage for that
privilege. We claim the right to publish a
list of those who are more than one year in
arrears and the amount due, and when we
do this we shall place such accounts in the
hands of a proper person for collection. We
are tired ot, and ashamed to dun any more,
and intend to let others do so for us, with
cost adled. We will not pay postage for
those who never pay for their paper.

Under tliis beading, ‘ Harpers
Weekly” has no doubt successfully
convinced itself, in its leading edi
torial, that the Republican party has
at present, no policy upon which it
can hope to carry the elections in
1876. The concession is late, the
people found it-out last fall before
the elections. Coming as this an
nouncement does from the most mis
chievous of all the picture mongers,
a paper which has done more by its
lying carricatures to excite and
maintain hatred between sections
and races, the announcement may
be viewed, as a notable eviden ce of
the fact that the devil sometimes de-
sertshis followers in their need, or
at least that his imagination is not
equal to the occasion. Before the
elections “ Harpers Weekly” had a
policy. It gulped at San Domingo,
swallowed Butler, and digested Sim
mons. The Third Term, Credit Mo-
bilier, Salary Grabbers, Bull Pups
and TFhisky-Bloat were ‘ ignored,’
and considered as of small danger
to the country compared to the con
sequence of a Democratic victory,
or a Democratic, Congress. Its Car
toons blalzed with blatant falsehoods.
The inevitable nigger-baby with its
snotty nose and tear-stained ( ? )
face, about to be devoured by a
gaunt, long haired, thimfaced south
erner in a slouch hat and copperas
pants, with a dozen batteries belted
round Lis waist, was presented to the
northern people, in order to fire the
northern heart. But the northern
heart didn’t fire. It didn’t even
smoke. The nigger-baby had done
service too often. The niggerdoaby
awoke in the average northern bos
om no emotion more powerful than
an intense desire to vomit. The
gaunt southerner and his batteries
wei'e treated as myths—or frauds,
the average northern mind believ
ing from having seen him in the
same position so long ago that lie
had already eaten the niggembaby,
or atleast ought to have done so.
He was regarded as a being of the
same order as the traditional Yankee
with his short pants, long straps,
and swallow tail coat, a creation of
the imagination of either a foolor a
knave. The old 'policies’ of the R e
publican party rose in judgment
against it, they couldn’t be ignored,
like Banques Ghost “ they would
not down.” The Salary Grabbers
from the Presidential dog-fancier
who lobbied for the bill down to the
innocent old Puritan who attempted
to buy a whole Legislature in Kan
sas and was found out, were kept in
remembrance by the people. The
policy by which ignorant and cor
rupt negroes of the South, and intel-'
liggently corrupt white scalawags of
both colors and all shades betwoen,
from the north, plunged the white
tax-payers of four southern States
into an average of ten millions of
debt in as many years, stole the
money represented by the debt and
cut “ such fantastic tricks before
high heaven” in the shape of Legis
lation that even some Republican
Congressmen were ashamed of them,
was remembered by the people. The
policy by which a worthless pajaer
currency with no more intrinsic val
ue than a bunch of rye-grass, and
no more hope of redemption than its
father the d p - J i t s god-father
I
jrzi-D^ohcan Party, was sought
( to be duplicated, so thht the specu-
I lators who drew all the gold from
| the Treasury as interest on the
bonds, they bought for’ half their
I amount in gold,Jess syndicate steal -
j ings, in greenbacks, should use that
gold to raise and d§^tess this infla
ted money at pleasure, was- re
membered by the people. The pol
icy by which the rights of the States
were ignored, the rights of the peo
ple scouted at, the will of a Con
gressional majority substituted for a
written constitution, and the temple
of liberty turned into a den of
thieves whose appetites for larceny
were only bounded by their capaci
ty, was remembered by the people,
the result, a Democratic victory, and
•‘Wanted a Policy” by the Republi-
esn Party. How amusing ! If it
had been “ wanted anew prejudice,’
“ wanted a conscience” or ‘ wanted a
patriotic aspiration,” it would have
been much more in consonance with
the traditions of a party that was be
gotten in prejudice, lived without a
concience and has died without a
patriotic aspiration, and upon whose
grave ought to be inscribed “ died of
too much policy; and too bad a one.’
That which strikes the reader of
the editoriol iu ‘Harpers’ with the
most astonishment however, is the
fact, that, after exerting all its
stage horrors to frighten the north
ern people at the affect of a Demo
cratic victory, it now gravely advi
ses its party at this session to adopt
Democratic doctrines, to provide for
redeeming greenbacks, to return to
specie payments; and while it pro
tects the negro in Lis civil rights
not to enact a law to make the white
man smell the African stink whether
he wants to or not. “ Sweet are the
uses of adversity,” to the Puritan
carricaturist, who does not evident
ly want a “ policy,” so much as he
wauts a “ principle.”
O U R W A S H IN G T O N L E T T E R .
Dec. 21, 1874.
As a general thing, the democrat
ic and liberal membeas of the House
have been upon their good behavior
this session. They seem to be fully
aware of the fact that ; the attention
of the people and the press of the
country ts centered on them, and
that upon their conduct between
now and the 4tli of next ’-March will
largely depend ¡he result of the next
presidential campaign. Thus far,
they have been, for the most part,
the active advocates of retrenchment
and general economy, challenging
and often obtaining, by their speech
es and their votes, the respect of
even the Republican press of TFush-
ington, and the gratitude of The en
tire country—notably so Messrs La
mar, Fernando Wood, Niblack,
Swann, Mitchell of Wisconsin, Crea
mer of Hew York, Hamilton of New
Jersey, Holman of Indiana, S. S.
Cox of New York, and Randall of
Pensylvania. These gentlemen and
others seemed to understand the sit
uation thoroughly until Tuesday,
when, unfortunately, some of them
thoughtlessly voted for a concurrent
resolution, introduced by Dawes,
to adjourn the two Houses from De
cember 23 to January 4, to enable
senators and representatives to draw
advance pay and go home and de
vote themselves to egg nog, Tom
and Jerry, and have a good time
generally. It is mertifying to be be
obliged to record the fact that the
consideration of this resolution was
postponed to Monday next at the in
stance of a Republican, Garfield, of
Ohio, who promptly seized the op
portunity afforded him to count a
point. Let Dawes, if he will, get-
leave from the House to start on the
untimely expedition he proposes.
He can be spared without detriment
to the public interests. Let- him,
in God’s name, go. home and face
the Ninety Thousand men in Massa
chussetts who, according to the
Boston papers, are on the verge of
starvation. Let him be accompan
ied by all the other lately defeated
congressmen of that State, that they
may feast upon the misery which
their class legislation has caused;
but let us hope that when this heart
less, outrageous and inopportune
resolution again comes up. not a
single opposition member will vote
for it. A three weeks adjournment
of Congress for recreative purposes,
while a half a millan of working
men, women and children am starv
ing, and employers all over the coun
try are becoming bankrupts, would
be as appropriate as the singing of
Little Brown Jug, or the dancing of
the Can Can, at a funeral.
W a s h in g t o n ,
position of Supervising Architect of
the Treasury Department vice Mnl-
lett, resigned, would seem to be an
honest man. His present income is
considerrbly largely than the nomi
nal salary attached to office tendered
him; and, counting the honor of
holding the latter as nothing, he de
clines, to-accept it. It is true he
might make liis government office
pay him handsomely—much more
in fact than his present business
does; but this could only be done
by a dishonest use of the large sums
which Congress annually sets apart
for the construction of Public build
ings. Disdaining to do this, Mr.
McArthur respectfully declines;
and it is to be hoped that the next
mando whom the office is' tendered
will be equally conscientious. I was
talking with one of the stone cut
ters employed at the Post Office De*
partment a short time since, and the
conversation turned on Mullett. ‘ I
don’t like him’ said the stone cutter,
‘because he is opposed to the eight
hour law, to trades-unions, and to
everything
that benefits
the
poor man; but he is a jolly good fel
low in some ways. A few weeks ago
I was directed by him to take four
workmen and go to his new house
in the 1st Ward, where some mantel
pieces required setting, and other
work was to be done. Well, tke
job'occupied about two weeks, and
during that time he treated ns splen
didly. Why, he always had a bottle
of wine and plenty of good cigars in
the room where we were working,
and he fed us like princes.’ But
who paid you for this private job ?
I asked. The Government of course
replied.the stone cutter; we got our
pay, as usual, out of the appropria
tion for the improvement of the
Post Office Department.
T lie A lle g e !? Sai'a B n irg ln rs.
The legal status of these fellows
is as yet undetermined even among
the lawyers; but it is generally ad
mitted that the government can, if
it chooses,- have the alleged bur
glars indicted by the new grand jury
Should they be indicted and come
up for trial, they will be tried by
Judge McArthur, who is known as
a “ ring judge;” in which case their
acquittal is assured. Judge Hum
phreys who presided over the last
trial, is an honest man and impartial
in his rulings. He has some peculi
arities, however, which occasion
amusement among those who fre
quent the court house. The judge
is fond of this tod, and, whenever a
recess is taken, he calls one of the
court attendants, a colored man
named William: “ I say, William,
this way, if you please.” William
approaches' “ William, please go
across the way to the young man on
the corner, and tell him to send me
the same as he sent.me yesterday—if
anything, a leetla stronger than yes
terday. And, William,” as William
is moving away, ‘ ,this wav one mo*
nient, if
please;” and, sotto
voce, “ tell the young man to put it
in a cigar box, the same as yesterday;
don’t forget the cigar box .William.”
It will be seen that the judge is
slightly eccentric; but his integrity
is undoubted.

There was a sensation in the Treas
ury Department the other day. At
about half past twelve, wild screams
were heard issuing from the Bureau
of Engraving and Printing, which is
situated in the upper story of the
building. la a moment, ¡he passages
were thronged with male and female
clerks, all anxious to learn the cause.
It ajipears that the ladies were enjoy
ing their lunch, and sipping then-
tea which is made for them in the
builuinb, when one, a very pretty
girl from Jersey fell backwards, with
a piercing shriek, from her seat to
the floor. The other ladies gathered
around her, and she was soon re
stored to consciousness. After she
explained that, while drinking her
tea, a soft substance entered her
mouth; and thinking it was a piece
of half dissolved sugar, she divided
it with her molars. Not until then
discovering her mistake, she spat the
fragments on the table, and was
horrified to find that she had divided
with her teeth a young mouse prob
ably about four or five days old. It
was then that she fainted. She was
subsequently taken quite ill, her ill
ness being brought on by prolonged
vomiting, and was taken to her
house in a carriage. On examining
her tea cup, two other young mice,
the size of the one half eaten by the
lady, were found in it. It is "sup
posed that some enemy of the girl
had dropped the three young mice
into her cup while she was looking
another way. A committee will be
appointed to endeavor to discover
the guilty persons. It will be known
as the mouse commitee, and Hon.

At a meeting of the citizens of
Union Co., called to consider the
subject of aid by the Government to
the Portland, Dalles & Salt Lake
Railroad, Hon. James H. Slater was
elected Chairman, and S. Ellsworth;
Secretary, and the object of the
meeting stated briefly by E. S. Me
Comas, and discussed by several
gentlemen
presedt. Whereupon,
the following committee, viz. E. Sv
McComas. S. Ellsworth, Dan’l Chap
lain, John A. Childers and Benj.
Brown were appointed to suitably
arrange the business of the meeting,
and soon afterwards reported the
following memorial:
To THE CONGEESS OF THE- UNITED
S tates :
The people of Union County in
mass convention assembled in La
Grande, Dec. 31, 1874, do hereby re
spectfully memorialize and ask your
honorable body to pass the bill now
pending to aid in the construction of
the Portland, Dalles and Salt - Lake
Railroad, Said proposed road will
furnish an outlet commercially for
a large scope of country domain of
the United States favorable for set
tlement and inviting immigration
whenever a thoroughfare is opened,
and we, the people of said county,
directly and vitally interested in
this great and important . measnrp,,
have reason to expect that the Gov
ernment will be as liberal to us as
has been her history heretofore, in
measures'of great national and pub
lic importance.
After due consideration the same
was unanimously adopted, and - the
Chairman and Secretary directed to
authenticate copies and -forward to
the delegation from Oregon in Coni
gress.
On motion, the proceedings of this
meeting were directed to be furnish
ed to the ^newspapers' of Eastern
Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and
Portland dailies for publication.
On motion meeting adjourned sine

The nuisance of sending the East
ern paper mails by steamer from San
Francisco to Portland remains una
bated. The winter is open and the-
weather fine. The daily mail, with
letters and California papers, comes
oveyland with few irregularities. —
There is no reason in the world why
our Eastern paper mails should be
held in-San Francisco ten days to
await the sailing of the steamer.—
The overland stage- company have
contracted to . carry a d d the mail
matters, as well papers as letters,
and they made the contract well
knowing all the- circumstances, and
at rates that would amply repay the
■trouble-and expense of overcoming
the small obstacles to be met.-—
There is no reduction of pay on ac
count of thus sending the -mails by
other means. It is simply an impo
sition on the government and the
people, and should be ended at once.
—Oregonian.
We. commend the above article
from the Oregonian to tiie attention
of those persons having the manage
ment of the mail routes on this coast.
And that paper is not alone in its
outspoken censure of this imposition
upon the people. Almost every pa
per in the State has spoken of the
matter, and in anything but com
mendatory terms. ThePosta-1 Agent
for-Oregon would do well to look to
the matter, if he expects' to sustain
his reputation for efficiency.
Mail contractors have heretofore
enjoyed a prestige with the officials
at Washington and elsewhere, that
has enabled them to do about as
they pleased, in all matters connect
ed with the trail routes, notwitln
standing the wishes of the people,or
the earnest protests of the press. It
is abou* time the nuisance was aba
ted, and if the newspaper press of
the State will unitedly enforce the
right, they can accomplish it. There
is another, and a greater nuisance, as
weil as imposition upon the newspa
per fraternity which is entitled to a
thorough ventilation. We allude to
the law, which is soon to go into
force, compelling the the publisher
to prepay postage on ail papers at the
office of delivery, before they will be
allowed to pass through "the mails.
This law is one of the series of acts,
intended to embarrass newspaper
publishers, for their temerity in ex
posing some of the plundering jobs,

The prepayment of the postage,
will entail an extra expense upon
each and every publisher throughout
the United States, of from three hun
dred to two thousand dollars, per an
num. While to the subscriber it is
a matter of but a few cents, which
is never felt, nor is it considered
burthensome by them. But to the
publisher it becomes a heavy tax, and
in most cases will seriously embar
rass him. The amount of postage
collectable on each years subscrip
tion being so small, it is not easily
adjusted with the subscriber, nor is
it judicious to attempt to raise the
price of the subscription on any pai
per even in so small a degree, bis
price may be already as low as he is
justified, financially, in furnishing it
yet he dare not increase it, but is
compelled under this law, to suffer a
clear loss of several hundred dollars
each year, The newspaper propri
etor is but poorly paid at best aud,
there are but few of them, in this.
State at least, who are making any
money out of their business. And
this tax upon his, but poorly filled
purse, will be a burthen, more fully
realized as time progresses. We be
lieve the law should be repealed,
and that its repeal can be accom
plished, we also believe, provided
the press will unitedly demand its
repeal; which justice to themselves,
and their business profession, dic
tates that they should do. Let us
see who will second our endeavors to
effect the repeal of this imposition
upon the newspaper press?— .Salem
Mercury.
We fully agree with the Salem
Mercury in its remarks above quoted
and hope every paper throughout
the land will take an interest in this
matter and give expression to their
views upon the subject.
C h i c a g o , Dec. 26.—Lieut. Gen.
Sheridan, with Gen. Rucker, Cal.
M. Sheridan and Major G. A. For
sythe, of his staff, left here last night
for New Orleans. A Washington
special says instructions to Gen.
Sheridan, it is understood, direct
him to acquaint himself with the
actual condition of affairs in Arkam
sas. Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama
and Texas; but make Louisiana bis
present point. On arriving at New
Orleans-he is to confer with Major
Merrill upon the actual condition of
affairs in Louisiana outside the city
of New Orleans. Major Menu} is the
officer who arrested perpetrators of
the Conshatta massacre. He has a
high reputation for energy courage
and fidelity among military men
here. An officer of the government
and a military man of high standing
says Morrill, thus far, has been the
only military man in the South able
to appreciate the situation. The na
ture of Gen. Sheridan’s mission is
similar to that of Gen. Grant in 1866
with the exception that Grant was
designated to discover why there
was not prosperity in tlie South,
while Sheridan is to learn why there
is not Deace.
