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.

worthy hints, that must be of great
utility to every reader, whether living
in city, village, or country. It is down

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.

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.

For the Consideration of the Tax
Payers.
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.
