With this issue tho T imes launches out on its sixth volume and sixth year of its existence. Many Democratic papers have been started in Jackson- ville in time past, and nil succumbed nfter a brief career, until the T imes was ushered into life, which now, after a lapse of five years, still greets its renders, though not without having been insensible to tin* trials and tribu lations usually attendant on the e«- tabli-Junent of a local paper on a firm basis. It has always been the aim of the publisher to make as good a paper of the 'F îmes as possible, and what success and merit attended his efforts we leave for the patrons to say. We have no promises to make for the future, except that we shall ever endeavor to furnish a readable paper, devoted mainly to the interests of Jackson, Josephine and Lake counties. In polities, we will advocate and labor uncompromisingly for the principles and welfare of the great Democratic party, ami in the year about to com. inenco will battle for its cause with all the zeal and ability at our command. Outside of the political arena, however, we will meet upon the level with all, be they Democrat, Republican, or what not. In conclusion, we thank our patrons for their past patronage, trusting to merit a continuance of the same, and close by wishing a Happy New Year to all. Pul Them un the Deleiisi ve. <J E NEKAL. NOTEN ANI» NEUN. The real issue to be determined at the ballot-lxix next year should bethat with Grantism and corruption. The Incoming Congress can force the fight on this ground if it keeps its skirts clear of corruption and follows a steady line of duty. Radical hopes are huilded upon suppositions of Democratic blun ders. If the Radicals can successfully change front and divert publicattention from their party record to the financial or school questions they will stand a fair chance of success. It remains for the Democratic House to say whether they shall be permitted to do it. If the leaders in Congress are not wise enough or pure enough to press the Reform issue and put the Radicals back on the defensive, Democratic prospects will be, indeed, poor. But they must also remember, remarks the Baltimore Gazette, that those who urge reform must themselves be men who do not need reformation. Tricksters, protec tionists, time-servers, wire-pullers, inflationists, subsid ists, and moral cowards should go to the rear. Only honest men and honest Democratic principles can win. The road to sue. cess is by way of reform, ha rd money free trade and home rule, All others lead to death. Tilton continues to draw immense crowds to his lectures all over the country this season. Grunt in Trouble. A resolution was recently introduced in tho House of Representatives, and which is opposed by the Republican members, calling on the President for copies of all correspondence relating to the removal of Henderson, special U. 8. Attorney, in the prosecution cf the St. Louis whisky fraud eases. When (¡rant sent the telegram to Hen derson, “let no guilty one escape,” he intended it merely for effect and not for the courts, and, when Henderson found Babcock was implicated, he very properly indicted him, as he would any other common criminal. I The consequence was his official head has fallen, and Grant has name! his successor.

Henry Klippel, Chairman of the Democratic State Central Commit tee, as will be seen by the notice at the head of our columns, has issued a call for that body to meet in Portland on February 10, 1876. The date fixed I will no doubt meet the approval of the Democracy. Our organization is the first to step into the political arena, and will give the enemy battle in such approved style as will place the status of Oregon as a Democratic State be yond peradventurv. Henry Warren, the late Know Noth ing candidate for Congress, is a bigger fool than anybody ever thought he W’as. He is now writing letters over the country, say« the Democrat, which are bitterly abusive of all the Repub. licans who didn’t support him, and containing polnt.blank falsehoods about his successful rival, Hon. L. F. Lane.

The Chicago Inter-Ocean says: “That marvelous joke about M. (’. Kerr, in which he is referred to as Mr. Speak-Kerr, has got as far as Oregon, where the natives are holding mass-meetings about it.” A reign of terror exists on the Southern California frontier. The Mexican bandits threaten another raid with increased num bers. The American residents think it hard they can not be protected by the Govern ment. The life of the late Otis Parsons was insured for .816,666; that of the Purser, Mr. Hite, for 810,606, and that of Mr. McDon ough, Chief Ofiicer, for 85,6oo, in the Mutual Lift*.

It is said that Spain will propose to the United States a new and mutual advantageous treaty of commerce. In his recent message, Grant did not refer to the whisky frauds at all. He very ! urgently called attention, however, to the Chinese women evil and the frauds in naturalization papers, either of which com pares to the whisky business as a pot of ginger pop to a ton of nitro-glvcerine. In addition to the appropriations already made for the benefit of the Pacific ('oast, a proposition is now before Congress for th«* refunding of amounts paid by the States of California, Oregon, and Nevada forexpenses incurred by reason of the late rebellion, other than bounties paid to volunteers.
