THE CBOVEU INVESTIGATION.
The more you. polish s diamond
the more. brilliantly it shines; so it is
with the character of Senator Grovcr
iff this investigation. The' searching
investigation urged on by all .the
power and haired of the Custom
House ring, has resulted hi a com
plete vindication of Grover's cliarau
ter, and 'demonstrated that he is as
innocent of any corruption in his elec
tion to the Senate as a new born babe.
The rumor, the jnsinustions, the direct
charges made by tlu . Republican
party through its leaders have all
been dispelled, 'and proven to be false,
hike fine gold, tho character of Sena
tor Grovcr has stood ti.,e most thor
ough test and hag come out unscathed.
He stated before elected that if he
could not bo elected fairly and hon
estly, he woud..n.ol have the place,
and tbe testimony has established the
Jact that he wa.s elected honestly be
yond a question. But while tho tea-
uraony nas ciear'y esiaunsuea me
fact that Senator Grover 'was hod
efctlj elected, and free from tho leant
atain of corruption ; it has, also, dem
onstrated that the leaders of tho Re
publican party went to every length
to procure ialse testimony against Sen
ator Grover. It was proven that they
suborned witnesses to commit perju
ry in order to have any testimony
. at all. The Collector of .Custom
at Portland was engaged in the dirty
and corrupt work ol buying a wimcs
paying his fare and board, and bow
much more no one can tell bill' him
self. This mnn, Stiles, was the pet of
the Custom House ring, the bought
villain who. proven by a host of men
whose character are above suspicion,
to bo a perjured, scoundrel. Stiles
wa boirght, paid to swear falso
against Senator Grover, and that, too,
by some of the leaders of the Rcpiib
lican party.- They exhausted all their
power to bolster up the character of
the villain, but they could' hot' save
him; it was demonstrated he com
mitted perjury in his testimony
against Grover. He Is a lit subject
for tho Penitentiary, and his suborn
rs should liiud in the same place to
seep him company.
It was further found that ,the only
man who attempted to bribe any
member of the Legislature was a lie
publican One Armed lfr.ovvii-!iii
was trying to bribe Wilson not to
vote for Grover. Ho said he was in
fun, trying to see what bo could do
Republicans are always in fun .when
they are caught. That is immensely
thin.
Another blaok scheme of perjury
was unearthed by the .testimony 0011
ceding with it some of the leaders of
the Ui-puhliuahs. A certain W. II.
Higby, of Corvallis, a fellow the Re
publicans nominated and ran for Dis
trict Attorney in this distriot at the
last election, deliberately cult red into
I corrupt scheme of perjury with one
K. A. Lake, a black leg and villain, to
prevent Senator Grover from getting
bis seat as United States Senator.
Higby drew an affidavit that he knew
was f'also, and procured the man Lake
to swear to it by promising him mon
ey; sent the allidavit, it scorns, to
Washington so that it sheuld be use
against Grover to prevent hira get
ting his seat. Higby was a shining
light in tho Republican parly; mail
flaming slump speeches lor the party
during the last canvass. Ho ha
adscon led from the Stale no doubt
gone to make bloody shirt speeche
for tho Republicans, where tho mora
uiinima is noi no irupiesi. i uese are
ugly Tacts agaiost tho Republicans.
All tho corruptions Si-ems to be on
tneir side in this invesiiga:ion, and
taking all the testimony produced be
fore the Commission, it reflects more
upon the 'epublieans and their party
i... if. i i ii
than any one else. Wo feel liU onn
gratufaiing Seimtor Grover on the
unblemished character he has estab
lished under I he' most searching in
Yestigat ion of his enemies. '
Skssibli The X. Y. JArald, has
this bit of true and sensible talk about
the Grover Investigation : "Thus far
ODly bateh of rumors has been un
earthed by the Oregon Senatorial In

HOW SILVEII WAS DIMIOJETIZED.
The change of standard front gold
and silver to gold, say the Stdidaid,
was accompanied by two acts, oeither
of which explained the sinister pur
pose of tho schemers. Tbe first step
in the demonetization of silver was
the act of February 12, 1873, 17 U.
S. stat, at large, p. 424, "revising and
amending the laws relative to tho
mints, assay offices and coinage of the
United Slate." Section 13 oHIkb
act continues ' the standard fixed by
the net of January 18, 1837, and sec
lion 15 provides that the silver coin
of. the United Stales shall be a trade
dollar, a half do'lar, or fifty cent
piece; a quarter, or twenty-five cent
piece, and a dime, or ten ceut piece;
and the weight of tho trade dollar
shall be 420 grains troy, the weight
of the halt dollar 12 grains (gram
mes) and tho quarter dollar aud dime
shall be respectively one half and one
fifth of said half dollar; "and Buid
coins shall be a leg.il tender at their
nominal value for any amount not ex
ceeding five dollars in one payment."
A grain, gramme) js equal to 15.431
grains troy.: liy this act the old dol
lar, the unit, was dropped andthe
trado dollar introduced. The trade
dollar contains 378 grains of pure sil
ver or CJ grmns moro than the old
dollar', which contained 3711 grains
of pure silver. , Yet the now dollar
was not legal tender for any amount
exceeding five dollars, whereas the
old dollar was a legal tender without
limit. This act did not, however, af
fect the old dollar as a legal tender
for any and all amounts. It stopped
the coinage, but, so far as it was in
circulation, the old dollai remained a
legal tender for any amount. Next
in order is the "act to revise and con
solidate the statutes of tho United
Stales in forco on the 1st day ot De
cember, 1873," approved June 20,
1874. Section 3,511 makes the gold
dollar ' nt the standard, weight , of
twenty five and eight-tenths grains.
the unit of value; and section 3,513
re-euuols,- without change, the provis
ions of section 15 of the act of 1873.
relating to silver coin. Section 3,514
continues the standard established by
the act of January 18, 1837, and sec
tion 3,510 prohibits the issue of gol
or silver coins other than tho'eofthc
lenominaiions, standards and weights
sot forth in the title to which the sec
lions above referred to belong. Sec
lion 3,585 makes the gold coins of
the United Slates a legal tender in at
payments nt their nominal value;- am
section 3,580 provides that "Me silver
coins of the United Mate shall be a
legal tender lor any amount" not ex
ceediug five dollars in any one pay
ment.". That wna' tho provision of
law which destroyed the old dollar as
a legal tender. The provision ol seo
lion 3,511, which makes the gold dol
lar a unit, is a reproduction from Ra
tion 14 of the act ol February, 1878,
which first made tho gold dollar tb
unit.

resumption heavier by depriving us1

A. dirpatch to the Oregonian, from Gen.
Howard, dated the 14th init, 4vt:
By making a forced march I met the enemy
at 1. r. m., yesterday, abodt 300 strong, in a
deep canyon near the month of the Cotton
wood ou the sonth fork of Clearwater.
opened fire at once with a howitzer and suc
ceeded in starting the Indians from their po
sition. Passing around a traverse canyon
for a mile and a half, I began' the battle in
good earnest, and dismounting formed in ra
vines and behind rock barricades, well pre
pared. For seven hours every charge we
made ground on them. Still at night onr
position was not a very good one, at the en
emy lay contiguous to my communications
and I was short of rations.' This morning,
by a determined effort, we regained our
spnng of water from tome sharpshooters,
Thit afternoon I gave our lines to the care of
C pta'n Perry, commanding, the cavalry of
Captain Miles, the battalion of infantry, and
drew out Captain Miller t battalion of ar
nuery acting as luiontry. Just as we were
ready to recommence offensive work, Capt,
Jackson with a pack train appeared in sight
beyond the Iudiosn' position. Miller pushed
ont in skirmish order, met the train and es
corted it successfully; they had hardly
formed a junction with ut when the .artil
lery battalion, already lieyond the enemy's
flank, made a rapid movement taking Gat
ling gum and howitzer along. '
The Indians made one -desperate effort to
flank Miller, but failed and then gave way.
Everything was tbeu .poshed to the pursuit
We .shelled them rapidly from the high bluffs
as they escaped from the left bank of the
river, and followed them, escaping in every
direction, at far as the river, and are now
across and going into camp at 6:30 r. M,
The losses of the Indians appear to be thir
teen killed and quite a large number wounded,
We have Capt. Bancroft and Lieut. Williams
wounded; also eleven 'enlisted men killed
and 24 wounded. Their campt were, aban
doned in great haste, leaving much plunder.
The Indians fought as well at any troops I
ever taw, and so did ours, not one man fail
in in duty. I now believe that I am in fine.
condition, just at toon at Green appears from
Boise, to make thorough work with these Indi
ana. They are making for the Snake coun
try, and I for concentration at Mount Idaho.
Troopt have never done more rapid cam
paigning or better fighting than these. .
A" dispatch from Walla Walla the 15th
mat., says:
Yesterday about noon a man named An
derson was driven from a fiold, where he .was
making hay, into Lewiston, abijut three
miles away, by hostile Indians. The whole
of Lewiston turned out in hot pursuit, and
when the courier left for Una place that city
was entirely deserted by able lsxliud men.
Ml. Lelund, a prominent citizen of Lewis
ton, and a gentleman who has every advan
tage of knowing, estimates the loss to settlers
in the late unpleasantness with Joseph in the
following maimer: Henry Eifry's building on
John Day creek; Harry Masou's, Titman's
(Jersey), Sam Benedict's and H. C. Browij's
on Salmon River below Slate creek, besides
several small cabins, have been burned to the
ground- Capt Baker's and Jack Manuel's
buildings on White Bird. Cpjaj-flallo, 4 Bar
ing's, Chapman's, Cearley's,lIouser's, White's,
Davis', McDermott's, John Swans', and Hon,
S. S. Feun's (delegate to Congress), on Camas
prairie: and tome tjiy all north and east of
Swartz' farm have been burned also.- The
bridge and Jerome's, Wall's, Silverwood's and
Deinpster't buildings on the north side of
Clearwater, and one building at the Kamia
tub-agency have also 1-ieen .burned. This
gives twenty-three and three stores and trad.,
ing houses. It it estimated, by those who
claim to know, that at the time Elfrut was
killed he had about his prtmises nearly
$5,000 infold, dust and bars, which it sup
posed to have been taken. Altogether S-JOO.'-
0tV) would not cover the nronertv losses al.
ready suffered at the bauds of the Indiana.
A dispatch from Kamia, Idaho, dattd Ju-'
ly 14th, says:
Chief Joseph has moved over the moun
tains and has sent a messenger to !eu. How
ard, to the effect tli.it he desires to surrender.
White Bird, Looking Glass, Tahoolhoolshnte
and others, want to get to the buffido coun
try in Montana, and will not talk peace.
Tliey fired uB Gen. Howard to-day while
talking with Josephs messenger, KalkaJ-
tuiihiu. -
In response to Joseph's message, General
Howard tent the following reply: ., ( ,
"Joseph may make a complete surrender
to-morrow morning. My troops will meet
him at the ferry. He ami hit people will be
treated with justice; their conduct to bo
completely investigated by a court comiKiscd
of nine of my army, selected by myself. Col
M. P. Miller is designated to receive Joseph
and arms."
The following dispatch was received from
Walla Walla last evening:
Two hundred mounted volunteer brought
down the mail and escorted Mr. Randall
ml five children, tl.
e widow and the or-
pliant of the late Capt ' Randall, fmm'Mount
Idaho to Lewiston. Tliey 'report having

On the 16th, IWd Heart, a Nes Perce chief,
with sixteen warriors from Joteph't and
Looking Glass' bands, with 23 women and
children, surrendered themselves to General
Howard. ' They were made prieonert and
told that they would be tried; that the mnr-
derers of white men and outragers of women
must be punished; Joseph did not surren
der, at he proposed to do, but instead, start
ed for the buffalo country wkh other host.le
emits.
The prisoners had but two guns end no
ammunition or supplies. It it thought by
some that this party who surrendered got
separated from Joseph and wer left without
horses, arms and supplies, and were corn
pulled to aurreuder. Monday, 16th, all the
mep that Gen. Howard could mount wore
se'njt iu pursuit of the fleeing hostiles. They
have about 24 hours the start of the troops.
Prisoners says that Joseph's men are get

and White Bird had quarreled, and that they
would likely separate their forces.
, , TIIE SOL lllKHN BLACKM.
We commend the ltllowing extraet
from a letter -written by Smalley, tho
Southern correspondent of the Kadi'
ca N. Y. Tribune to that pap. t, to
tbe attention of .the sniveling fanat
ics who are si outing over the. ''re
sults of the war." This- state of soci
ety is iho chief "result of the war,"
and Northern ignorance, fanatic-ism,
viudieliveness and cupidity are solely
responsible tor it. Head it, it is good,
reliable Hadical authority :
Northern people who judge ot the negro race
by the few siecimens of iutelligeat colored bar
bers and waiters they see at home, always have
their theories as to the condition and capabili
ties of the race, suddenly unsettled when they
study the pure African type of the plantations
iguorant, ragged, dirty uUtcks, with counten
ances so brutal as to be repulsive, nnd persons
and clothing so disgustingly and odoruusfy un
clean that their presence is untmpportuble.
However enthusiauticallv one niav lavor the
principle of equal civil rights, he does not want
vi nue in a railway car wun sucn. creatures as
these. Fortunately, he is not obliged to, for
tliey go into the car provided for them of then
own accord, and seem to have no desire for the
company of the whites. Occasionally a respect
ably dressed colored man or'womun rides in the
same car with the white passengers, no one ob
jecting. Color prejudice appears to be slowly
giving way, but the prejudice against close as
sociation with' such dirty, bad-smelling people
as are the majority of the plantation negroes
may be exacted to continue oi all time.

Will steal, but thit. is an extravagant generaliza
tion, ior every wnite man or wom.-.n who re
floats this common saying will, if cpWioned,
a lmit to having known colored people who
were scrupulously honest. Nevertheless, it
cannot be denied that Uie'' blacks as a class are
much more given to stealing than the poor ig

oners. I have found convincing evidence that
the heavy preponderance of blacks over whites
in louuty juils una btate rruous is not the re
sult of any unfairness on the n.irtof Jud-resnm!
juries in the trial of the former. In addition
to proofs of this given in former letters, I may
cite the Mississippi State Prison, which, under
Republican administration, had on mil
about one thousand convicts, o61y one-tenth of
whom were whites, and now has about two
thousand (effect of improved adniinintration of
Justice), but shows no okange in the proportion
of blacks to whites, ten to one beiug still the
ratio. In most of the old slave States a large
number, not all, of the convicts are hired out to
contractors for work on the railroads, leveea
and plantations. The system is not a good one
for correction and discipline, but the States are
too poor to build prisons have enough in hi.l.l
all the negroes guilty of grand larceny.
It may well lie doubted, as I said before, if,
on the whole, the rnvmes are making any sub
stantial progress. They are in the best enndi-

the most horribly grotesque experiment ever

hie of their getting forward in the path ot eiv

pniapact that the tide of emigratii will be de
