friends of the prisoner, alleging his
innocence, went before a judge at
chambers, and procured his libera

the I4days, the sittings at the Central

fUnder the old system no general election
was held.
It will be seen that the affirmative
vote of Louisiana is one third larger
than the total vote of 1SG0, while in
the other States the affirmative is
ab"ut as large as the total vote in
I860, except in Aikansas; but when
the negative vote is added, the total
cast on the Convention question is
far larger than the whole vote of
18G0. In Virginia it is 5G,00() lar
ger; in North Carolina, 3(1,000 larger;
in Louisiana, 30,000. South Caro
lina did not vote in 1SG0; but if she
had, the number of while elector.
cou'd not have exceeded 45,000,
while 71,000 have now voted, and
that, too, in spite, of the most despe

Fine Points of a Democrat.

Under this caption the New York
Herald of February 12 has a leader
That journal has long been noted for
its ability to see and proclaim the
winning side. It cares but little
which whip-, but it has a great de
fire to run with the successful party.
Its opinion ot the coming Presiden
tial campaign is therefore not with'
out significance. Here is the leader
referred to:
" Time flies. The contest for the
Presidential succession comes on
apace: but who is the coming man?
Prom the drift of recent events, and
the inevitable gravitation of the
dominant Union war sentiment of the
country, we believe that the child is
christened and that his name is U.
S. Grant. On the great issue in the
Republican camp (the reconstruction
policy of Congress) he has crossed
the Rubicon; he is with the Radicals,
and that settles the question. Mr.
Chase as an aspirant for the Chicago
nomination ccasea to be a dangerous
competitor, and will doubtless cease
to push his claims. General Grant, I
we dare say, wil.' be proclaimed the
Republican candidate by acclama
tion, and from all the facts bear
ing upon the contest there is no
probability of his defeat. In the
powerful element embracing the sur
viving ten or eleven hundred thous
and Union soldiers of the war, Grant,
as the great chieftain who directed
their movements from the Potomac
to the Rio Grande, and who finally
compressed them from an area of
eight hundred thousand square miles
into the rebel surrender at Appo
mattox Court House Grant, we say,
will have an array of voters at his
back that will be simply irresistable.
What, then, are his qualifications
for the White Home? we may very
properly inquire. lie is not a states
man of the comprehensive views of
Ilnnry Clay; he is not the man, hit
or niis-, who will 'take the rcspousi-
bili'y,' like General Jackson; he is
not a philosopher, nor an expounder
of the constitution, cf the cMUmr o!
Webster; he is not a politician of tin
cunning school of the Albany R-gen-cv;
ho is not in finance up to the
mark of FeSSndetl or even ' Oid
Tliad. Stevens;' he is but a schoolboy
in tlie arts of political engineering
compared wi'.h Ctiasr; he could, in
tlie strategy and tactics, the quirks
and quibbles of tlie law, Le bottled
no by Ben Butler, and he cannot be
tiin to make an off-hand political
peeeh or complimentary address
with 'Andy Johnson.' Indeed, we
iave the positive assurance of a Cop-
lerhead contetnf orary to the (-fleet
that General Grant has no turn of
mind and has had no schooling ii; the
charms of literature; that he is iuca
pable of appreciating the beauties of
Lore Derby' translation of Homer,
r LongfeiloW'i rendering of Dante's
Inferno.'
But with all these deficiencies, and
notwithstanding the facts that he was
i wood seller iu St. Louis, nnd slill
ater a tanner in Galena, there is
some excellent stuff in this quiet lit-
le man Grant for the W lute Hons?,
lis fund of practical common sense
mil cool s.igacity supply the place
if gi'iiius a "d lie has a pr.ieti-al theo
ry of the Union, the Con-tit ulion
nd the laws equal to the lushest or-
ler of statesmanship. Wifiout the
rashness of ' Old Hickory,' he has all
his firmness in adhering to his settled
onvictions. A practical advocate of
retrei chment and reform, he is no
political vissionary Miming nt impos
sibilities, and no believer in Quixotic
xperiments. lie is, witha1, an amia
ble man, disposed to try the healing
appliances of pattenceatid ouicdiation
over sectional troubles, rather than
the sharp Puritanical remedies of hot
iron, caustic and amputation. Never
having been broiled upon the gridiron
f either political party, he has no
personal revenges, like J ickson, to
ettle, and no claims, I ke Buchanan,
of a gang of twenty years' followers
to meet. Finally, in his brief ad
ministration of the War Department
General Grant has shown that the
mind equal to the most effective com
lunations of a million of men in the
field is competent to shape the policy
of half adozen men in the Cabinet
We believe that no opposition can
didate can be brought forth compe
tent to defeat General Grant. It is
useless to suggest, even to the sach
ems of Tammany Hall, the claims
and saving virtues of Andrew John
son. They like his office", but this
man is not their man. He is. per
haps, as little thought of as the E n
peror of China by the Democratic
managers as their man for the succes
sion. General Sherman will hardly
consent to run against Grant ; -md.
moreover, the Western Copperheads
ire dead against Sherman, smd thev
do not like Hancock, and they will
have Pendleton. General Grant as
Mir next 'resident, 't en, may :.o con
sidered a foregone conclusion."

The fallowing are medical signs of
dreams, as published iu the medical
work:
Lively dreams are, in general, a
sign of nervous action. Soft dreams
a sign of slight irritation of the brain;
often, in nervous fever, announcing
the approach of a favorable crisis.
Frightful dreams are a sign of deter
mination of blood to the head.
Dreams about blood and red objects
are signs of inflammatory conditions.
Dreams about rain and water are of
ten signs of deceased mucous mem
branes and dropsy. Dreams of dis
torted forms are frequently a sign of
abdominal obstructions and disorders
of the liver. Dreams in which the
patient sees any part of the body es
pecially suffering, indicate disease in
that part. Dreams about death of
ten precede apoplexy, which is con
nected with determination of blood
to the head. The nightmare, with
great sensitiveness, is a sign of de
termination of blood to the chest.
"To these," says Baron von
Fenchtersicben, " we may add that
dreams of dogs, after the bite of a
mad dog, often precede the appear
ance of hydrophobia, but may be only
the consequences of excited imagina
tion.7' Dr. Forbes W inslow quotes sev
eral cases in which dreams are said
to have been prognostics. " Arnaud
de Yilleneuve dreamt one night that
a black cat bit him on the wide. The
next day an athrax appeared on the
part bitten. A patient of Galen's
dreamed that one of his liml.9 was
changed into stone. Some days after
this, the limb was pnrah zed. Roger
d'Oxteyn, Knight cf the Company of
Douglas, went to sleep in good
health; towards the mid-lie of the
night, he saw in his dream a man
Infected with the plague, q ute naked,
who attacked him with fury, thre
him on tlie ground, after a desperate
struggle, and. holding him between
his open thighs, vomited the plague
into his mouth. Three days after,
he was seized with a plauge, nnd
died. Hippocrates remarks that
dreams in wtucn one sees black
s.iectres is a bad omen."

concluding in the following style:
We areonlv now beginning to un

Considering that there is hardly
anybody left in British Columbia but
the officials and those who are too
poor to get away, that the Treasury
is hopelessly bankrupt, and the w hole
country going to destruction as fast
as possible, this is brave talk. If
British Columbia remains under its
present Government for a few years

agent up there with a few bales of

Rev. Mr. Wail, r, of S.d.m. opened

Smith, Eq , of the firm of Smith &
Davis, pieseuted the President of
the road with a shovel, made from
Oregon mateiiai, hy O.vgon me
chanics, bearing a plate f Oregon
silver, with an appropriate inscription
Tlie address of Mr. Mitchell was an
able one, and we observed many
moist eyes amongst the audience
whin allusions were made to the
early day s in Oregon, and the ob
stacles that had been met and sur
mounted by the pioneers of those
days. Mr. Mitchell said:
The blade of this essentially home pro
duction, this substantial shovel, beaten out
a.s it is from the virgin ore taken from the
proSilic mines of Oswego the Pittsburg
of Oregon where lies imbedded this val
uable metal in inexhaustible quantities and
of most fabulous richness, is a true repre
sentative of this important class of our
mineral wealth. The h.mdle, made from
an Oiegon maple, represents that material
interest which includes all the vast re
sources of trade and commerce that can
and must eventually spring from the most
m tgniiieeiit forests with which our Stale
abounds. The beautiful silver plate that
adorns the handle, and which bears upon
its tace the inscription of the donor, was
carved out of the precious metal taken
from the mouniains of Sautiam within this
State, and it serves to remind i-.s that our
mineral resources are not confined to the
baser metals, but that here iu Oregon, us
well as elsewhere upon flic golden shores
of the Pacific, the honest miner finds a i
full recompense for his hours of patient
toil. J he hanule. a so. you will observe
has been seasoned with oil manufactured
from an Oregon mill, from the "raw mate
rial grown upon an Oregon farm, by an
Oregon farmer, while the workmanship
and' mechanism displayed in its construc
tion are but a just tribute to the mechani
cal skill, and the commendable iudiistry
of the people of our State.
And. Mr. President, in acting upon this
occasion as the medium through whom this
representative of the material rcsoiuces of
our Slate is conveyed to you, and Id the
corporation which you represent, as a
tribute of respect and confidence frcm one
of the citizens of Oregon, for the indomit
able energy and perseverance which have
enabled you to , enter this day upon the
prac.ical work of the great enterprise r
which you were incorporated, it may not
be 'inappropriate for me to refer "very
briefly to the cause of our assembling to
gether at this time. The occasion of our
presence here to day, is one of profound
interest to the people of Oregon. We are
here for the purpose of celebrating the
commencement of a new era hi the history
of her people. For the purpose of wit
nessing the laying of one of the great cor
ner stones of that weabh. prosperi'y. in
fluence, ti. iiizatioii and empire, that "shall
soon characterize our S ate as a bright
particular star in the great fimily of States,
for the purpose of inaugurating a work
which, under your losterucr care, and
management and the well known energy
and business and ruuncial abd'.ty of the
Contractors represented here to dav in part

pletion. And a work, which, w hen corn'
pleted. will be the great life artery of our
young and noble Suite, and along which,
impelled by ihe irresistabie and energising
power of steam, will bound and rebound
the great vitalizing currents of popula
tion, wealth, trade, internal commerce, and
all that tends to m ike up and work nut a
g o; ions d.-stiriy for the worthy pioneers of
our adopted S ate.
We are here to celebrate the inaugura
tion iu Oregon of that system ot internal
public improvements, which in the East
ern Western and Middle Stales, has
brought the vast multitude of these ex
tensive regions into a close communion of
trade interest and sympathy, and which
ha bound them together as with bands of
fire and ligaments of steel, end to which,
more than to any other system of internal
improvements, are the United Slates to
day indebted for their unparallelled growth
in material wealth, prosperity and powW.
And therefore it 13 not strange tLat an
event such as this should call from their
homes, their firesides, their farms, their
work shops, their offices, their parlors and
their sitting rooms, this vast concourse of
people who have come hither to approve
by their presence and to witness the com
mencement of a.work that must Ml so
deeply and so materially upon the future,
welfare not only ' of Oregon as a State. -but
also npoa the individual interests of
her people. And it- is an occasion upon
which the hardy pioneers, especially those
who first braved the dangers but a lew
years ago, of these Western wilds, . 'who
first reared the standard of civilization",
along the picturesque banks of our beau- '
tiful and far-aimed . Willamette, and plant
ed the first seeds of our present greatness
and future glory, as a people, can rejoicw .
with exceed. i great joy as they look back
over the Conuiets and trials of the past,
una now n:iu uu culminating m a new era
of prosperity and greatness that must in
evitably, and at m distant dav. make
Oregon as a State ' what her agricultural..,
mineral and manufacturing resources, a
welt as the characteristic iMierjry and rjo-a-'
livinaiicvr.c.-ts of her people justly jttiile
her to second to none West of the Rockr
This, to some, may seenCjn extravagant"
prediction ; but it is one. the truthfulness
of which, will be demonstrated during the '
lives of many of those I now add rem.
The sound of iheshov.vl'' of to-day, wh ch
is caused by the first breaking of groi n t

is but the legitimate echo of ten thousand
similar sounds that are to-day reverberat

of the Sierras, and which shall continue
to wake up the 6 ti lines cf those solitudes,
until from Portland. Maine, to i'ortiand, :
Oregon, shall be one unbroken line of rail

e.gizing power of the American people
are so really fabulous in their appearance
that were ibey not stamped hi indelible
and enduring eharac ers upon the pages of
American history, and in still more com
prehensive language of imperishable truth
upon the very face, the 'wide savannahs,
the rugged mountains and the verdant
hiils of oilr favored land, their history
would be treated as a (b'e emenating
from the brain r.j" a visionary. In 17.54
when Dr. Franklin projected a p! n for
the union of the colonies, he proposed t(Td
city of Philadelphia as tfve metropolis,
giving as a reason that it was simated
about half way between the two extremes,
and. as he said, could be conveniently
reached even from Po tsmouth. New
Hampshire in eighteen days. uQl r. chdd
of the future risen up from the gray mis's
of coming time and said to Dr. Franklin
yea. and iwe generations shall not pas

shall be within a tew hours ride, the reve
lation would hu e been regarded even by
that great philosopher and statesman, as
one never to be fu'tilled. Even he who
never told a falsehood, would have been
di.-believed. Jf on the 3;Uh day of Novem
ber. A. D. 17s. 2, when England conceded
American Independence, the Father of our
Country, the immortal Washington, had
been enabled to lift the veil of the future
that then flung its darksome folds acrosa

with the speech of prophecy, had turned
