' THE EUGENE CITY GUARD. SATURDAY. DEO. 3. 1&70. EUGENE CITY. OREGON. A Glance at the Mea'age or llie Freal , deal. "It was my fortuno or misfortune to bo called to the offico of Chief Ex ecutive without any previous political training," says tbo President in his late message. Now, a this day, Gen tfal Grant pleads guilty to the charges that have been made for the past eight VAArn thnt In. lint. Via l.nil nrt nnlitical training before he was chosen PreslH ' dent ; and he might have truthfully dded that the result of such a choico should be a warning to the American people not to do the like again. But a oouluMsion is not necessary to prove his lack of statesmanship ; as every intelligent person knows, without ar gamont, that a President who at tempts to conduct a republican gov. eminent with an army, has not tho most remote idea of tho groundwork of our political system. Yet in law, icjnoranco of the law is no excuse for crime ; if it were, it would bo offering a premium for ignoranco. But further on ho says : "I have acted in every instance lrom a conscientious desire to do whatever was right, constitu tional, and within the law and for tho best interests of the wholo people." But be does not tell how ho obtained a standard by which to guago his con scientious desire; his former plea of Ignorance upsets his claim ot doing what was constitutional or within the law, and bis practico proves his igno ranoe; and just after airing his con scientiousness ho exposes his partizan malignity by referring to thoso who opposod Radical usurpations 89 an "enemy in the rear almost as danger ous as the more honorable enemy in the front." That is to say, ho consid ers ''rebels" moro honorable than tho Democracy ; and hore again ho ex poses his ignoranco. Whon ho says all of the South, and "a large peroeutago of tho North" woie opposed to tho government, he virtually admits that a majority of tho "whole peoplo," lor whoso bost interests ho says ho has labored, was opposed to tho Govern ment; and if that wore truo, then ac cording to the theory of ropubheau governments, that the will of tho ma jority shall rulo, tho Government should have been abandoned to that will. But that is more partisan hale; nobody rebolled agiust tho system of government; some opposed lawfully and othors unlawfully tho threatened and ovort acts of Radicalism tending as they have all along to .tho sub version of our system. Further on is anolhor partizan fling, where bo esti mates the negroes, "if free in tho full sense ol the word" would all bo Union-loving voters, just as if tho boast ed aots of emancipation wore abor tive, and tho negroes were not free because the robot elemont kept them in quasi-sorvitudo in spite of ton years of Radical legislation on that subject, and ten years of military rule in tho South. Hero again, it his statements are to bo credited, ho shows his utter meompotoncy to properly manage that question. If Radical rule and bayonet rulo for ten years have not accomplished tho desirod purposo, it is time such moans wero abandoned and othors tested. His idea of the Indian peaco policy is a sucooss as ho shows that- there are no hostile Indians and no Indian wars where there are no Iudiaus. "Tho army bos been actively employ ed during the yoar in subduing certain wild bands of tho Sioux Indian cation, anil jtrwrviig juact U the South during the election." This sen tence is a blot upon tho history of our time and his administration, for the army, though "aotively employed" in being butchered did not do much in the subduing business among tho In dians. As to "preserving peaco at the South," we fail to discover in his message, or elsowhcre, that thero ws auy neod of preserving peaco that was presorved. There was a negro riot in New York, and another caused by a negro firing his pistol into a Demo crat! 3 procession at Cinoinnati, but none in the South at or about the time of the election, that wero report ed ; so it seems that he was very par tial to the Sonth. Bit his shallow pretense of preserving peace, where the peaco was not disturbed, and his plea of ignorance and conscientious ness, can not obliterate or palliate the fact that the army was sent South to provoke a disturbance, rather than to prevent one; and that the act was ille gal, informal, and done contrary to the decisions of the Supreme Court Either President Grant is wofully ignorant himself, or he supposes the people and Congress must be, to send abroad such silly - assertions as these we have noticod. If be is not con trolled by partizan malignancy, ho is stupidly blind to the best interests of tho oountry, and to the unenviable position he must occupy in history hereafter. With him the army is ev erytliing to the government, and the will of tho people nothing,' while he refers to the South and the "enemy in tbo rear" as ready to overthrow the government, ho has nothing to say concerning tbo increase of crime, of poverty and suffering in all the broad Iand With the narrowness of a ward politician he refers to matters in one one section that deserve and receive no notico in another. All in one, Grant is just what rings of rascals and unscrupulous partizans have made. His political training has been in their bands, and he has proved himself fit to bo a military dictator, but in no senso of the word a competent civi officers. Who Elected the If aye IJccler In Louisiana? For the first ti mo, wo believe, the Presidential election ot this year de ponded 011 and was decided by a ne uro wench. That particular wcncli lived somewhere in Louisiana, an just at the critical moment, like Ha gar in uio wilderness, her cry was heard by tho Returning Board of Louisiana, mid her evidence or her wounds or her appeals or her mar tyr-liko appearance or her "intimi elation" or her falsehoods, or tome- thing, outweighed the popular voice of the wholo peoplo of that devil-rid den state, upset seven thousand r Deniocratio majority, caused Hayes' electors to bo counted in and Hayes to bo the next President, if such means can elect a President. What was Joan d'Aro or tho Maid of Sarasrossa compared to that wench ? If Hayes and tho Radical party succeed in their schemi'S, will they not erect a grand monument to commemorate her achievement? The idea of tho entire affairs of our government hinging bi a mutilated wench will bo a grand featuro in our history, though it may bo asked how or why sho was before that Returning Board. And that question may go unanswered, but still the fact that sho elected a Presi will remain as tho last great and crowning exploit of tho defunct Rad ical party. A DUIoyal Organ. Tho most prominent Kadicul organ in New England is the Springfield IitpuUican, tba-i which .Mr. Hayes hud no stronger supporter in the country. Hut, ardent as the Republi; cm has been, it is not willing to turn traitor, and go with a majority of its party press in sustaining Grant, Chandler t Co., in over throwing our Republican government, so that Ulysses may bo made Emperor. The following extracts from the journal moo trail ed we commend to the nlteution of the sup porters of Hayes generally, as it uiuy serve as a warning to all who may hope to euguge Iu s successful revolution : "Tweod presumed ton long on the forbear ance ol the people of New York and where is he now T liluine and bis sort bave played the game of Tweod upon a national arona, and their downfall when they attempt to cheat tho nation out of its choice for Presi dent, will bo all the more dramatic and euni bilutiug than Tweed'. They tliiuk the American people are fools and they have some excuse for it, just as Tweed bad but they will 0ml the fully on tho other side of the account." Now, here is the important testimony of the pumo pnper in tho Ixmixiana fraud : "It is a desperate game the care,thag ras cals of tho South aided ty the lilaines and Chandlers of the north, are plaiyng tho stakes uro bich, and they think it pardona ble to put a few aces up their sleeve, now that luck has gono against them. l!ut they will flud their own followers' deserting them when it concs to inaugurating a new civil war iu order to t burnt upin us a President we never elected. Certainly Uen. Sherman, and probably even Sheridan sod Grant them selves will shrink, at the last moment, from fastening fraud upon the nation with the bay onet. They saw no harm in bayoneting a city or Sluto into submission to the Imisi ana returning board but to plosttr forged certificates ot the IMiisiana election over the whole body politic is a v. ry different matter, easy enougi to conceive, but very hard to carry out." Hut, what would the American people say if Grant would attempt to force them into . coutlict for the preservation of th.ir Gov ernment? IasI the tfor said leading Repub lican paper auswer: "Why. the very corporals and privates and camp-followers of Ibe I' 01 led States army would refuse to follow the flag in any suoji disgraceful campaign, just as they refused to follow General TwijgaJ into rebellion down in Texas. The Aiuencan idea of fair play and honest government it to bred in the bona of all our plain people that they would bring to naught in twenty-four hoars any administration that attempted on a national scale what Kelloctf bat been doing in Lou iiati and aha. Tweed did in New York. The good sense of the country knows that the whole Republican administration in tboee Slate has two one complete web of fraud and force lrom beginning to end. We have the pit-tare ot the Soaih Carolina rascals, drawn by Republican newspapers and by Governor Chamberlin him If, before hi made common caue with them; and we have the portrait of Kellopj and bi confed erates drawn by the R.-publicaa candidate for Vice President and other stances parti sans only two years a?o." "Meantime Grant will hold the oSct ef President ad interim, and will use the army and navy as he pleases to sustain himself. " It is probable that Conkling, Edmunds, Frelibghoysen, Dawes, and that class of Sen ators, will think twice before they commit themselves in advance against Tilden's in auguration, and it is by no means certain that the Senate- will ply into grant's bands, or will rank itself hastily on the side of Hayes in the coming vontost. Even lioutwell may hesitate and shudder at the thimght of that 'bole in the sky.' If wo may judgo by the tone of dispatches from tbo East) Governor Grover'a action in regard, to Watts' ineligibility has touched a' tender spot on the Radical dragon, j Tho Radi cal managers are confronted by ques tions of law they would gladly ig nore, but which they must pretend to respect. Kellogg, Stearns and Cham-' berlain nro legally checkmated, and in spito of their abominable returning boards they begin to see that all the law is 0110 side, and all tho rascals on the other. Keep tho ball rolling till law and tho right triumph. Odell will be one ot the witnesses in tho Oregon disputed yoto case. Tho Senate can, if it desires, find any number of responsible men in Oregon who will testify that they would not believe that distinguished bilk under oath any on matter which concerned tho securing of an oflico for himself. Say a woman cannot vote, will you? when one. negro wench iu Louisiana did more electing than ten thousand men. i ho i imei Bars anaise cormvmee in Florida is dolcruiibeiHo find a majority for Tilden.

Avnry, recently pardoned by the President, has returned from Jefferson City to Washington. Tho electoral votes of fourteen States have already been placed in the hsuds of acting Vice President Ferry. There was a grand jollification tt Jefferson, Indiana, on the 15th, in honor of the election of Tilden and Hendricks. Knott, chuirmnn of the judiciary commit tee, has introduced a bill regulating the counting the electoral vote. Ken Hill's rocky couise is bitterly de nounced by Democrats which will end io bis being defeated for the Senate. Democrats claim thut Hill's position as a Southerner is la'on in hoje of a reward from Hayes, should he be inaugurated. Grant says that whoever is declared Pres ident of the Uuited States by the President of tbo Seuato will receive his support. A curbstone broker named Com) it, has been errested in New York for sending out a bogus dispatch of Vanderbilt s death. Morton says the gathering of Democrats on January Slh is intended as a menace that no President but Tilden will be satislactory. Rumors of a compromise between Demo crats and Republicans ol South Carolina, fa vorable to the former, are being circulated. The U'oHd says General Sherman ordered troops into Virginia at the request of some gentlemen io llw Attorney General's office. The Democrat io Congressional committee in South Carolina will divide itself and go In parts through the Sluto looking for tvi dence. Forty-two women dressed in male attire, voted the Radical ticket at the precinct known as l'arucs' Store, in Alachua county, Florida. Tho Democratic committee in Lonisiana has appealed to Congress to compel Orton to surrender telegraphic dipa'ches io his pos session. Mr. Cavinse, of the Democratic counsel in Louisiana, attempted to visit the room io which the copying is being done, but was re (used. The Congressional committee selected1 to investigate frauds in New York, Philadel phia, lirooklyo and Jersey City, elected Co chairman. On the 17th it was rumored that Cham berlain intended to hive Hampton and Simp son arrested for treason. Any such attempt would be resist. -Wade Hampton's programme is to send a memorial to Congress, and te circulate a pe ll Hon for the signatures of tboee who really believe him rlected. W. II. Peter. U. S. snperv aor in New Orleans, testified to the Coagres.oional can- mittee that IVmocrals were intimidated in the second ward, and that te wa offered ' $1,000 to allow tbe Republicans to tamper ' With the ballot box. About 400 printers and engravers were dischaif ed on Saturday from Goverrment work in Washington. About two-thirds of whom were women. Should the Chamberlain ring succeed in South Carolin. a bill he been introduced that will give ChsmberWt the power to exile every white man in tho rate. The Democrots are not united In the de mand to make Orton, of the Western Union Telegraph Company, surrender all political dispatches. Hewitt opposes it. Ben Hill says that while he admitted Hayes would be a great improvement on Grunt, ho never said be would prefer him lo Tilden.- lie earnestly hopes for the election of the latter. Morton bos been sent to Indianapolis to get evidence or the existence or the Knights of the Golden Circle, Sons of Liberty etc. John Davenport has bad a spy lo the North west for some time. Eighteen negroes were before the House investigating committee, in Florida, whose numes were down as voting in Richardson precinct, Leou county, who swore they were not near the precinct all duy. A Tribune's speciul says that Randall is not supported in bis idea thut tbe 'i'li joint rule is still m lorce. The World says thut the readoption of the 22d joint rule will be assumed us the basis of Democratic uegociu tions. t John Petty, a colored Democrat, testified he hud been beaten and shot for voting for Tilden and colored Democrats had been threatened with the vengeunce of' Phil Sher idan and thus frightened iuto voticg for Hayes. The Times publishes a sensational dispatch that a society, similar to the lvoielits of the Golden Circle, is being organized among the- uemocrms to inaugurate iilueu by force or arms. They are preparing to surround Washington in ten day' uotice with 500,000. Walling, Democrat, says be could not have believed what he has seen at Mouticello, Florida, on any but occulur testimony ; that a half dozen Republican officials, most ol them carpet buggers bave entire and absolute con trol of the election machinery, and have per- Hampton is proceeding to establish his gov ernment. He is determined that It shall not be a Gzzle as did McKnery in Louisiana. Ho has ample assnrance from the property holders in the State, and from the banks thut all tbe funds he requires to carry on the gov ernment will be forthcoming, to bn hereafter paid when the lc?al Legislature passes a tax bill. The significant luct 'of tho stability of Hampton's government is found in the re ceiptor loiters herefrom Northern bondhold ers ol the State, who are anxious that Hamp ton should be recognized, when they would be suro of interest on their bonds, while they are satisfied of tbe inability of the Cliniiiburliiin government to collect tax es, and consequently their bonds would be come worthless. The anticipated first clash in the conflict between the two governments will probably originate with the county offi cials appointed by the respective Governors. Chamberlain has ulrady attempted to re move certain trial justices and appointed others in their places, but the incubents per sistently refused to acknowledge their pre tended successors. In this way clash is pos sible at any moment. New York, Dec. 1!). The World's Wash ington speciul, of the 19th, says there are no dirisions among the Democrats, while the same cannot be sftid of the Republicans. m mnr, when asked by a (riend why he had not given prompt denial to tho stute:n ni thut he was seeking a cabinet position under Hayes, or hud been offered such a position as the price of his influence, s-iid he had been subjected to attacks of this kind fever since he bad been in public life, and did rot think It worih his while to run about contradict ing them, and thut he whn only surprised such rumors should have found any credit among his friends. With regard to the proffer of a scat in the cabinet on the part of Hayes, he said no such tender had been made ; that if it should be he w uld decline to receive it If any proposition should be made to him from that quarter with regard to thn settlement of the Presidential question he would at once submit it to a caucus of his partv. It is evident now the Radicals have been deluding themselves with the belief that they could alienate the Southern Democrats from their Northern allies, and thus make Hayes' usurpitinn programme more certain of success.
