1 a r TIE OREGON SENTINEL. SATOttDXT-MoESEfO, Jan. 27, 1872. H. KELI.Y,-- - - Editor. AWAY. "WXIK PREJUDICE. , It is high time that tins voters should begin to look after their owrr fnnter ests, and let parties take care of them selves. ;We" iflUst-ever commend a pa triotic devotion to-principles; principfes upon which virtue, We and happiness depend jand every right-minded man must look with .ieelings of contempt, mingled with.tboso of pity and shame, upon hliiHvKo is o weak as to barter truth for falsehood, or sacrifice just and humane principles for some earthly cain or emolument. It is with a holy revcreneethat )vc remember the lieroio fortitucio of Socrates, as ho drank the hemlock, in preference to humiliating lis noble soul by the acknowledge ment of what he conceived to be false bood for truth. No one can afford to bear the withering, f tinging panjjs of a guilty conscience for the sake oi acquiring any earth'.y gain. It will not do to swerve from any principle that bears the impress of Divinity. It will not do to wink at and cover up sin in any shape; it costs too great a sacrifice of human happiness. But people mast not imagine that they are living up to true principles by follow ing the name of a party, or that the 'principles of a party are the same to day that they were ten years ago. Party names generally start from a good code of principles; from the fact that' new parties are first initiated by a reformatory class of minds that have become disgusted with the old party, because of its corruption. Those first to break from a party are those that are least superstitious, and who are most sensitive to wrong, and who are cajable of detecting crime. As a rule, ttis those who are the most enlight ened, and those who aro the most earnest in advocating the real interests of the people, who lead off in reform. It is those ho have felt the pressure of usurpation and tyranny, who ak for- something better (and higfi cr. v Hence, the code of principles that are first established by such individ uals,ril not in every way the best, are most sure to be a great improvement upon those followed by the abandoned party. There are seeming exceptions to this rule that we must not mistake for real ones, such as the strike at the Union by the rebels, and the strike at Prussia by the French; these, how. ever, are not reformatory movements, but a wild, vain attempt at retrogres sion which most always signally fail, as 'did the two above mentioned, bringing disgrace and infamy upon the projectors. Reform never takes a backward course. Trees never grow as deep' in the ground as they shoot heavenward in tho air. As it is, and has been, with religious reforms from the earliest history of idol worship, each new sect being something purer and better down to the present prot estant religion. Wlule truth remains the same from the beginning, yet our conceptions of what is truth arc con tinually growing brighter, and no thoughtful mind will deny but that tho church of to-day is far in advance of tho church of two thousand years ago. So it is with political reforms. It is not tho vicious that break rank and declare for something higher and better,, they arc continually crying to bo let alone'. English tyranny was good cnoush for the lorie, and Great Britain's name their ideal of perfec tion. It is for tho interest of the unscrupu lous office seeker to keep up parties; and he will talk long and loud about ihejjlorious old party, arid call on the people to stand by their party as they have done iu times pan. This is all very -fine for tho office holder, but it's death to the people. How much con solation tt must be to the hard work ing Democrat wbo Jiirew himself back oa his dignity at the last election, and vociferously proclaimed that he had always voted the Democratic ticket, and would never desert h. when he beholds the land grabber filing on his little farm that he is improving for a home for his family, throwing him and his children out in the cold. This has been the effect of yonr own idol name worship You have been petting the cnako while be 1ms been stinging you to ttve heart with hit deadly poison. now soothing it mwt bo for (he name worshiper to bo compelled to pay (rouble what he would have to pay, aider fair competition, for the publica tion of his legal business. Does the namo of Democracy compensate you for what yon have to endure under this nefarious litigant law? How proud the Democrat must be of the "glorious did name" when he is com pelled to stand by and see those that he helped to elect under its lair title Healing the school fund from his child ren, and giving it to speculators. And when this his all been done in spite of your teeth, to come home and add in sult to injury by qnarreling over the salt money. Nero hadn't more brazen faced impudence when he laughed over the burning of Rome. "We call upon the people in" the name of humanity and the respect they have for their own childrento stand by tho right. Protect yourselves, your homes and your children and be a party in principle and not in name. LITERARY. The Ovehland Monthly foe Jan oaky. Tho initial number of the eighth volume of this magazine fully sustains the reputation heretofore achieved, and presents a judiciously varied table of sparkling contents. We admire the pluck exhibited by this pe riodical in withholding the names of its contributors until the close of each volume, on the plan of the prominent publications of Europe. It obligt-s the reader to be more carelul and critical in foreseeing conclusions; does not place young authors at a disadvantage with those whose contributions have i already been generally received with favor; doen not expose writers to the attacks ol personal jealousy or malice, and gives to all an equal opportunity to achieve literary reputation by af fording them the protection of se cresy. The steady improvement man ifested by this Western literary pen udical, 'the wide range of domestic subjects treated, and the ability evinc ed in their treatment, should commend it to every reader in the land. It is published by John II. Carmany & Co., 409 Washington Street, San Francisco, at 14 per year. American AonicuLTomsT. Bright, beautiful, and cheery, with the vigor ol youth and tho wisdom of age, comes the first number of the XXXIst Annu al Volume of the American Agricxd turist, . bearing upon its pages fifty interesting and instructive engravings, and a fund of information in its well filled columns, which arc freighted with a great variety of practical, trust worthy hints, that must be of great utility to every reader, whether living in city, village, or country. It is down on all shams and humbugs, and its showing up of these is alone worth all it costs. Every one having not al ready done so will do well to provide himself and family with this journal for the prcent year. Terms $1 50. Orange Judd & Co , Publishers, 245 Broadway, New York. The Masufactdbke and Builder. This excellent scientific monthly begins the new year with an unusually good number.. As a presage of its fu ture excellence, it appears in a new and beautiful dress, which can not fail to bo admired by every one. We re commend our readers to subscribe for this valuable magazine, as its pages always contain practical information regarding the newest and most useful discoveries and inventions in science and art. Among tho articles in the present issue we notice those on "Ready-Made Houses," "International Societies," ''Floral Fountains," "New Sources of Supply lor Paper," and many others, all admirably illustrated.

The Paris Universe publishes this prayer, which the Pope is said to offer up daily for France : "0 ilaiy, conceived without sin, look down t'pon France; O, save France! The greater its guilt, the greater its ntcd for thy intei cession. A single word to Jesus, reclining in thine arms, and France if saved. O Jesus, obey Mary and save France." We suggest that if the Pope's prayers arc not answered that he call upon the Germans to save France; they seem to have had the most influ ence over the French lor the last lew years. The French don't seem to un derstand the Heavenly language as well as they do the Germ-in. Rev. Henry Wan! Beeeher's church in Brooklyn, which .numbers 2,116 members, has an income of 50,774 from pew rent, and $29,004 from col lections, making in nil $85,778. Hand some little cum, that Conttaptible- Under the head of "Telegraphic," the Timts of last Saturday accuses the" telegraph agent in this place of having withheld a sum of forty dollarssent by telegraphic transfer on Dec 28th, by Mr. J. J. Lane to his son at Salem, and says that the money was not paid, up to the issuance of -that paper, nine teen days afterwards. When the pub lic understand the facts in this cae they will perceive the depth of mean ness to which a journalist may descend, when he is lacking in manly honesty and has no sense of justice. The facts are these : forty dollars was paid into tho telegraph office here to be sent to Salem, and a receipt given for it. Tel egraphic transfers are made, not direct from on,e office to another, but through tho' cashier at San Francisco to theJ office where tlio payment is to be made. Telegraphic communication between here and San Francisco, as the public are aware, was, broken lor over twenty consecutive days, and hence the delay in the payment of the money. Another item; five days be fore the publication of the limes, W. R. Lane received the money paid in advance of the official order from the casliier at San Francisco, at the person al request of the agent here. Again. The Times asserts that "the boy says he his telegraphed twice and has re ceived no answer. The father says he has aasvvered the only telegram he has received." The father states no such thing, but says, truthfully, that he never telegraphed directly to his son, and exonerates Mr. Turner from any blame in the matter. Mr. Lane, who is a stranger here, and with whom we have no acquaintance, but who, we be lieve, would not wrong or lie about any person, can be asked as to the truthlulness of the foregoing. We learn that the editor's right bower was the "mouser" who discovered this shocking outrage on the public, and as some peculiar obligations exist be tween him and Mr. Turner, he must feel much gratified to learn that he has discovered a male's nest. It 13 not by Mr. Turner's personal desire that this statement is made, but for the benefit of'his friends who desire to know the truth. The agent's pets aro open to the most searching scrutiny by those entitled to do so, but the public have a right to learn how low a man can de scend when like the editor of the Times he is insensible to every obligation to his fellow man. Contemptuous silence would perhaps be the best answer to these silly charges; silly, because it is well known that no employee wonld retain his place long if they were true, and the public will hesitate long in luture bclorc believing anything from so disreputable a source as the limes.

The tax payers of this county are aware that the accommodations in the county buildings are extremely limit ed, in fact so much so that there is no room for the deliberations of a petit jury when the grand jury is in session. We will inform them that the choice room in the Court House is occupied by an attorney, Fay, as a law office, rentyfee, and has been so occupied for the last two years. We-woul.l like to know what warrant tho County Court have to allow this man the use of the people's property without compensa tion ; and vv hy, if any rent has been paid, the item does not appear on the annual exhibit. This man, Fay, paid no taxes in 1870, other than poll tax, and we doubt it he has p4id that; at the last term of the Cir cuit Court he cost the people of this county the sum of 1,360 63 for a criminal prosecution, and that ho is still allowed privileges that would not be asked by any other attorney, is somewhat singular. The time was when Fay thoi'ght he owned this county, but as he has been spewed out, vre see no necessity for him being a burden to the people any longer. We will also inform the t.ix payers of this dimly, that when this man took this office in tho Court House there was a .splendid carpet on the floor owned by the county, and it is fair to presume that it has gained nothing in value by two years use. Will the taxpayers also notice that after the expenditure of much money to beautify the Court House yard, l"3 'rce tenant has erect ed a wood shed in it in plain view of the street that adds little beauty to the grounds. As a tar payer wo pro test against this free tine of the public buildings, especially by an attorney, as the room adjoins tho grand jury room, and it is quite possible for him to le.im everything that passes in it. If the people aieto pay this man's rent, all right ; I'ut we protest against tho lurnishing of gorgeous carpels, and for aught we know, fuel, lights and stationery to any one at the expense of the people. It is due to the tax payers that this matter be examined into by the County Court, and that body must be able to show into what fund the rent lias gone, if any has been paid, and they will be held to strict accountability for the value of the rent since it has been thus occupied. It is moreover their duty to turn this free tenant out and let the room be put to its proper use that of a jury room we want no privileged paupers. DIED.
