The celebrated trotier, 'Flora -tuple"
Is said to he thirty-two ycnrs old. The

the result of the full election. Every
Statu voting In the month of October gave
A Republican majority.
Wore held In twelve State on the 2d lnt.
Returns arc of course Incomplete, but
enough Is known to establish the fact that
the Republican party has swept every
thing. Immense Republican gains in ev
ery quarter, and Democrats mourn. See
'telegraphic ittclio," for latest figures.
IT If charged that (Jov. Watklnd went

result In Marlon ! line to the aetnal voting

majority tT which we boast. It I proha
bly true that some honest lVmocrats, who
desire to aUl In building up tho Slate,
voteil for Mr. Warren. That class of
Democrats will vote the Republican tieket
In the future.
tlov, WatkikpsI a shrewd politician
n.l watchelhc "corners." lie foresaw
the result of the Ohio election ami closely
estimated the result in New York and

manager.
Tin? figure come in slowly. The Ore
gonian, the principal Democratic paper
of the Stale. continue to tigure a ma
jority for 1-j.tte but comes down from fif
teen hundred to the following, which ap
peared, in the last Issue ol that sheet.
And still the estimates or l.anes ma
jority niut undergo funber reduction
lie has beaten Warren seaicvly a hundred
votes in the State, and there is no very
ure thing that Warren is not elected. If.
as Is rumored, the eastern counties havt
given I.aue no more than -too majority,
the chances are that his majority, ir he
has a majority, will fall below 73.
It is safe to conclude that the elect on
will tuns on a very small number of votes
and it is very uncertain which candidate
will carry on li e prize. One thing I
Ck'Sily demonstrated, that is tlie Repub
Hems have a large majority in the Stab
and have only to torn out to sweep every
thing. The next election will show at
least two thomand lt publican majority

As we Stated in our last issue, it is evi
dent that the Oregonian Is contesting tin
claim for leadership in the IVmocratu
party ot Oiegon, with the Albany Demo
era t. 1" Its zeal tor the cause of the ac
tors in the -'-late effort" to destroy the
Union, that paper makes the following
defense:
While it is true that all who took part
In the effort to overthrow the government
were technically guilty of treason, it is
equally true that Very many probably a
vast majority of them took tip arms un
der the strongest convictions ot right:
took up arms as the revolutionary father-
of this nation did, to redress what they
honestly thought to be wrongs, or to vin
dicate what thev sincerely believed to bt
their rights, at "the peril of bringing on
themselves the penalty of treason in eai
o failure. Thev were not successful as
the heroic rebel's whom Washington led
to victory and glory.
Tlds is radical Democratic doctrine and
the Oregonian may yet take the place ot
tire Albany IVmoorat, but It Is quite cer
tain that it w ill tarry few genuine Re
publicans with it into tliat party. The
"honesty of purpose" attributed to the
rebels bv the Oregonian is rl!'inl' slwwii
by the fact that ihey proceeded to elect
their unrcpcnt.ii t leaders to Congress and
other important positions, as soon a
their disabilities were removed. Tlie Re
publican party magnanimously forgave
the rebels and restored them to citizen
ship, but they proved, to a great extent,
unworthy the confllei.ee reposed. Ti e
House ot Kepresentatie 1 1 Congress is
crowded with ti t el ex-otliccrs who show
no signs of repentance, but talk
just as the Oregonian does claim
ing great merit. for past conduct
and all comparing themselves to Washing
ton. The Oregonian, by natural infer
ence, compares tlie Cnioil army to British
oppressors and rebels in the late civil war
with the old patriots who foil ruled this Re
public That slicet may beat the Albany
Democrat in the race tor leadership, but
it cannot cram such stuff down the throats
of the millions who really suffered in sus
taining the Government when the men
that paper is now trying to lead were
fighting for its overthrow. The idea that
something is "ailing the Republican par
ty," Is a good one. It is true tliat tlie
party has dealt liberally with such men as
now control the Oregonian, and like the
serpent warmed into life, they turn to
sting their benefactors. Hut such disease
are easily cured and we expect to see the
youiids until not one
is lett on the party or ihe body politic
THAT TlllKIt I'ARTV.
An '-Independent Tarty" was organized
about three years ago for the purpose ot
correcting abuses which had crept Into tin
old parties of the country. All honest
men said let these wrongs be corrected,
but let us use the most effective means ii,
our power. Some said, we, the people,
are in majority and we can easily control
tlie old parties by commencing at the pri
mary meetings; but, otliers said, parties
are a fraud and the people should run tht
machinery of government without such
useless ceremony as party conventions.
Large numbers of individuals who had
been disappointed in obtaining nomina
tions iu both ot the old parties rushed into
the "no parry" movement, and hooted
themselves hoarse in aiding to build up
the cause. It now became apparent, how
ever, that hackneyed politicians were at
the helm and" managing the "no party"'
party, Willi earnest endeavors to organize
in the interest of a ring still worse than
the evil from which the people desired to
flee, and at the last elections in the sever
al States the "no party"' dodge has been
literally consigned to oblivion. Returns
from ever- State voting this year, show
that the two great parties of the Xation
are made up of the people, and for tlie
mutual benefit of t lie people; and that the
masses ot each party are determined to
commence right and take the regular or
ganizations out ot the hands ot profession
al politicians. This insures the needed re
forms. Wlieti the old parties are careiully
watched and each voter takes a reasonable
interest in guarJaiit bis own interest, then
the public business will be properly at
tended to and the people's interests closely
uiirded. There can be no need of a new
party, but there U need of constant efforts
to keep tie old one pure.

string that where tlie G rover ring was
most powerful In the State, Lane' vote

from tlie Influence of tlie Statesman by
supposing that sent Ilemocrat voted for

A TOt ntST left at our office a singular

Wiikn newspapers and politician talk
most about being "independent," tliey are
likely to be most dependent. Outside of
the two great parties of the United State
"Independent" simply means to wear
Booth or some other trickster's collar.
The game 1 as been played out and tlie
people select Ut ween regular candidate.
Wk'kek people frequently sy bd thing
and the Statesman expects to bt a mar
tyr to the cause of mcrality and the ob
ject of the Y. M. C. A. The abue we
receive on the streets Is accepted with
great meekness and we have no ill-w ill to
ward the wicked abuser.
Senator Booth is said to have turned
In his political grave when he heard of the
last election In California. It Is only a
question of time when the people will
right all wrongs be they great or small,
and Senator Booth has at last been practi
cally denounced by the popular voice as a
political humbug and a swindle.
The Chicago Times labors to convince
tlie public that the last election in Califor
nia was not a Republican victory. The
effort Is considered a first-class joke in the
Pacific States. The Booth Independent
business failed so signally that Republi
cans went back and voted the old reliable
ticket, which gave the majority In a
straight fight. j

BM'SDKRIXU OI.IXWl.ltM.
Ever since 1S60 the course of the Dem
ocratic party has been a succession of
blunders. Plunging the conntry in a war
was the commencement of the misfor
tunes which have ended so disastrously in
nearly every State election, since. The
party lias essayed to imitate the great
party of progress and when it has con
fined its efforts to simply following, it
has done well, but in every case where an
advance step has liecn attempted It result
ed in an incurable blunder. Of course
the Democracy has been five years behind.
and in many cases they adopted Republi
can ideas when it was so late as to render
their party ridiculous. They resolved the
war a "failure," and five years later, "a
success;" they resolved against Negro
suffrage, and five years later in favor of
it; they resolved in favor of repudiating
the national debt and then resolved that
it should be paid; they resolved tliat
greenbacks'' were a fraud and then
resolved that the country needs more of
them. Thus it U, this "party which
verxhanes!Iliasattempted to follow
the great statesmen who lm nun
the affairs of the Nation with such marked
success since 1SG0. Democracy should be
re-organized and better councils prevail
before it can reach any respectable point
before the masses of the people. The re
cord of the Republican party is such as to
endear it to tlie people of whieh It Is com
posed. SOKTIIERJI PACIFIC KAILBOAD

thought and feelings and perhaps the
nlan of action, and one seems to have

hue; the earth look greener or more

Identity, ao different are the uddeu chan
ge wroght. He relerred nt ome
length to the late grand entry ot
Brother Hammond lulu Oakland; the
great flourish of trumpet that was ln
dnlned In at the time; how that tlie peo
ple, both great and small, flocked to hear
the eccentric revivalist until the walls of
the largest church were too contracted and
a dixit tent had to be Wretched and then
taken down and peaoed and Rtrctelied
again until the circumference was great
eiiouuli to enclose the thousand of ex
cited people tliat thronged it nightly for
three weeks to liear Christianity preached
by the erratic Mr. Hammond. Mr. Ham
ilton omwtloned the wisdom of a critical
research into tho Idiosyncrasies of Brother
Hammond, though he admitted the man
low to be talked about and that he tM
made bimselfl the lillbitc tu-obeity ud
that it would be aluinet as liiiposslljln t
let lilm alone, when speaking of tlie ex
clteineiit attending his meetings a it
would be to decritie a thrashing machine
at work without referring to the cylinder.
He then proceeded to round oflVuilhlly,
but smoothly some of llie ptomliient and
well known rucued Evangelistic ways .of
the Revivalist, and disposed of tlw per

gentleman of Oakland: ' Is It possible

though the llgh iilng's flash and the earth
quake come suddenly at time and throw
us into a state of great excitement, and
otteu do great damage, yet. to a certain
extent they are purillers and so he was

fourths of a mile from her home, but af
ter that she was not seen alive, nor di
she reach the academy. She was not
missed until evening tor her younger
brother had supposed that she haa re
mained at home. Her lather at once
atoused tlie neighbors and a systematic
search was begun on both sides of the
road.
Shortly after 8 o'clock Mr. Copp, one
the party, came upon hr beadle body
In a dense undergrowth of birch, about
eight rods from tlie road, and a mile
from home. The father was tlie third or
fourth man to see it, and a bis eye fell
upon tlie sickeiilnf sight, be exclaimed
"Oh. my God.'" and threw himself beside
the bloody corpse, alternately kneel in
beside it and embracing it. The groin
and leaves tor quite a space were com
pletely saturated with blood, as was (he
butt ot the tree. The clothing ot the
girl was torn into shreds. Three bone of
tlie riht hand were broken, as If the
hand bad been struck wlien vainly at
temptiiic to ward off a blow. The head
was cut off clearly, as If it bad been cut
with a Lirte sharp knlle. Tint spinal col
n mu was severed between the first and
ccoud vertebra. It was tlie miaui&eti
opinion of physicians that decapitation
had been erloruied or begun before the
icirl was dead, because of the pmtuae evi
dence ot her having bled freelv. The
body was utlierwiw brutally inuulaied
Two rings one of plain gold au-1-one. Ol

and car-rinS were 4iot to be lotawJ ,ii

The body was taken home by tlie neteh
bors and placed in tlie same position as
when found, tlie right leg doubled under
the lett, the right arm laid across the
breast, the left one under the body. At
dawn, search was begun by a large party
tor the missing head, books and -water-oroof
cloak. About 8 o'clock, Horace
Ayer found the head, partly rolled up iu
tins waterproof, about 75 yards northwest
of wliere the body was found, in the same
piece of woods. It was partially uncov
ered, resting on the waterproof, which
was carefully thrown over it, fait not quite
concealing it. There was a wound on
each side, several Inches king, and a cut
on tlie top; on tlie right clieek lliere was a
well-defined impriut ol a boot-heel of me
dium size. There was also a cut on her
cheek, just hi front ot her lett ear that was
probably made tiTww sisarp instrument,
A tew minutes later the books were found,
and near by a heavy oak stick, considera
bly stained with blood.
At about 10 o'clock. Deputy Sheriff Hd
dreth took one William Drew, of Pem
broke, into custody on suspicion. Drew is
a young man 22 years of age, of dissolute
habits, and lives about half a mile back ol
tlie woods where the minder was commit
ted. He is married to a woman equally
dissolute. It was thought advisable to
lock him up, though there Is yet no direct
proof pointing to him as the assassin. Of
ficer Hildreth was obliged to draw his pis
tol en the crowd when lie locked Dtew up
at Suncook. The Coroner's inquest was
begun and adjourned to Thursday.
"I feel very q'-icer," was the remark of
a "corpse" in Chicago, with whom a party
of friends were sitting up. This Kttle de
viation from tlie general conduct of corpses
made the sitters-up teel queer, too, and
they capered out ot there, leaving the
body" to sit up with himself, it Oeact
bodies are going to act iu this manner,
they will have some trouble in getting
people to sit up with them.
Two deeds from John Charles Fremont

the effect that steps must be taken by for
eign cabinets to strengthen confidence so
as to enable the Porte to fulfill her prom
ises. The Times gays: We presume Rus
sia thinks that a conference of tho great
powers should review the treaty of Paris
and examine inte the state ot the Turkish
Empire. If a merely verbal pressure Is
all she has in view, it can be more wifely
applied by dispatches than by a confer
ence. If she aims at a more serious Inter

effectual that it would raise tlie Eastern
Question in a peculiarly formidable shape.
England is not prepared to take so im

We shall locate tlie scene of onr brief
narrative in Eastern Oregon, in Wallowa
Valley. The valley here mentioned sur
passes the finest conception of the imag
ination In native beauty and elemental
grandeur. It would seem as though some
powerful subterranean force had tossed up
huge mountain', Inclosing a most beauti
ful valley within solid walls ot rock ot
massive formation. Cold stream leaping
from cleft to cleft, rush into tlie valley,
funning a magnificent lake tiear the center;
and from this lake a stream winds its de
vious way through tlie valley, like a sheet
of silver, glistening In tlie gorgeous sun
light. Far up the mountain side, beneath
the protecting shadows of giant pines, and
by the side of a crystal spring, dwelt an
Indian family, one member ot which
was a dusky maiden. An Indian chief
paid his addresses to her, which were re
ceived with favor. One day while her
lover was on the chsse the maiden
chanced to stray from her father's home,
when site was attacked by a fierce mon
ster, she fled to the borders of the lake,
still pursued by tlie monster, and, being
an excellent swimmer, swam to tlie cen
ter of the lake, the monster following,
where they both were drowned. Tlie In
dian chief returned and ascertaining the
end of bi betrothed went to the lake
wliere. it t said. Ids own body assumed
the form of a spirit, and wa seen no
more. To-day the Indians of the Valley
refuse to enter the water of the lake, a
thev claim it i sacred to the two Indian
spirits w Ito hover around its surface. Col
