APOLOGETIC.
An apology is duo to our readers for
the lack of editoral matter in this and the
last week's issue of the Enterprise. An
apology is also due in jnstico to ourself.
During tbe last two weeks tbS) Circuit
Court of Clackamas county has been in
session, and our time has been more or
less occupied in attending to legal busi
ness ; and this made it impossible to at
tend to our editorial duties. Forescein
this state of our affairs, we applied to
friend to aid us, and he promised that he
wouid do so, but Tor some cause he, too,
has utterly failed to come to time as the
columns of the Enterprise bear witness.
The Court adjourns to-day, and we in
tend to make ample amends in tbe future,
ELECTIONS.
New York, Nov. 2. K-etiirns from the
interior to 8 o'clock, p. m., show uniform
Democratic gains ; compared with tbe last
I'resideil vote the city gives an im
mense Democratic (fliajonty. The, to!al
vote is 125.000.O There seems to be no
doubt of the election of the en tiro Demo

ticket. Disjointed returns show almost
universal Democratic gains over last year.

ticket from 7,000 to 8.000. The Demo
cratic loss in New York and Brooklyn is
over 15,000, but they gain so largely in
the interior that there seems no doubt of
the election oPthe whole Democratic State
ticket, by 10 000 to 20,000 majority. The
State Senate is doubtful, and probably
Republican by two or three majority.
The Democrats gain one Senator in the
Monroe District, and are likely to in one
or two others. The Assembly is undoubt
edly Republican.
Cater returns make the election of Mor
gan as Senator, in Duchess county dis
trict probable. The returns indicate the
election cf all the Tammany candidates
for the Assembly in the city. The Trib
une estimates th.it the State has goa Dem
ocratic by at least 12,000, on the whole
ticket.
Boston, Nov. 2. The vote is compara-
Attains, 1,051:; Lnamberlain, working
men. 510. George M. Brooks is elected

estimated that Austin (Ken.) will have a
majority in the State of 3;000 or 4,000.
Bai.timoue, Nov. 2. The vote of the
city is unusually low, but 19,000 being
polled out of a registry of 45,000. Every
precinct in every ward gives a Democratic
majority. "Wolford's, Comptroller, ma
jority is S,000.Q The Democrats on the
Legislative ticket received a majority of
C.OOO.
Nasiiviixe, Nov. 2. The House of Rep
resentatives, by a vote of 38 to 30, tabled

An individual claiming to be a Working-man,
publishes in a Salem newspapei.
a response to my recent suggestions to
that class of persons. ,,-
He says : '-When you or I turn our coats
the effect is trifling ; but when solid men
of character turn, then there is danger ol
others doing likewise." The comparison
of this psuedo-working man is quite true
in so far as it is applicable to himself; for
he is one of that chameleon-colored pack
of petty place-hunters that infest all par
ties in proportion to the encouragement
which they obtain. One chief argument
of the advocates of Chinese emigration
isj that we need a servile people like them
to do our dirty work. While t je Repub
lican party, with its present practice and
plan of organization, continues to pro
duce so plentiful a spawn of small-fry
politicians, like this redoubtable working-man
of Silverton, we shall not suffer
any lack of help for that kind of work.
Just now we cculd spare some for any of
our neighboring nations that might expe
rience such a need. As our friend has
been good enough to inform us that it is
only the changes of ''solid men of char
acter" that exert any influence, it is a
pity that he had not favored us with an
exact definition descriptive of "solid men
of character," so that inferior mortals
might henceforth know', with certainty,
what manner of men to accept as models
for their conduct, or follow as guides in
the intricate labyrinth of life. If our
friend were to set about citing individual
examplesof '-solid men of character," he
would, doubtless, include ths names of
Grant and Sheridan in the list. But Grant
and Sheridan are not now the same sort
of men they once were ; that is to say,
quite recently each of them occupied sta
tions in life much less conspicuous than
those which they now hold. They are
both known to local fame in Oregon.
Sheridan once vegetated for a season in
Yamhi41 that same region wherefrora an
other illustrious individual boasts of hav
ing "got his start." While there the only
thing in the least degree remarkable about
the man was, admiration of finely-bred
horse-flesh. Grant, while at Vancouver,
was a notorious drunkard. The only oth
er notcwortny incident connected with
his residence there was, an unsuccessful
attempt to elevate his financial condition
by raising potatoes on the military Reser
vation. Subsequently although qualified
with the most thorough practical educa
tion, obtained through the munificence of
the Government.be was incapable of com
manding sufficient influence to procure
the appointment of County Surveyor.
He then tried to make a living by haul
ing cord-wood about town ; and finally
settled down to the steady occupation of
weighing in stinking raw-hides and weigh
ing out rolls of tanned leath-sr wholly
dependent on ins father for the support of
himself and family.
Now the perplexing question which our
more favored friend has cruelty left us to
decide by our own unaided intelligence
is, whether or not Grant and Sheridan
were '"solid men of character" in their
more humble condition whether the ster
ling qualities of a man, or his accidental
station in life should measure the respect
which his fellow-men may mete out to
him.
Our friend, in terms not over-courteous,
denies the imputation lhat the Republi
can party is committed to a demand for
cheap labor. If there were nothing more
the position of that party on the Chinese
question would subject them to this charge.
Every person in our country, on this coast,
of an intellectual capacity in any degree
above idiotcy, knows that Chinese immi
gration and cheap labor are synonymous
terms. This labor question drove a suffi
cient number of intelligent toilers out of
the Republican party in California, three
years since, to give the State elections to
the Democrats. It did the same, in less
measure, two years since, iu this State
but it is only during the summer just end
ed that the party, as a national one, he.s
become fully committed w'uh their for
ward brethren in the Pacific States ; and
the most noted individuals who have vis
ited here recently, on pleasure excursions
under Radical pay, or in the possession of
ill-gotten wealth accumulated in the cor
ruptions of Radical rule, have while here
wielded the cudgel 'in behalf of the Chi
nese ; and have gone back to the Eastern
ppeople with the lying assertion in their
mouths that Chinese immigration is an in
dispensable necessity, only opposed even
on this coast by a few unprincipled dem
agogues. Our Silverton friend alludes to a cer
tain letter of Abraham Lincoln's as proof
positive, that the Republican party is wed
dfd to tbe welfare of the laboring classes.
I propose to continue this chain of argu
ment a little further for him. There is a
noiher individual member of that party
who nourished its infancy in arms era
died it into locomotion, and has continu
ued to give it controlling counsel since it
cast off its swaddling clothes and cut loose
from the apron-strings of its doting nurse.
He so much surpassed Lincoln in person
al influence as to procure his nomination
and secure his election to the Presidential
office. This incomprehensible compound
of folly and fanaticism, amongst the other
impracticable isms which have in success
ion won his advocacy, did at one time de
vote himself to vegetarianism. He pub-
usutu u ueai oi une writing in favor of
that dietetical system. He religiously ab
stained from meat, and subsisted on (Jra
ham bread until his body became- the
counterpart to that of ancient Job from
the infliction of eruptive sores. If a few
kindly words addressed to the laboring
classes, by Abraham Lincoln, several
years since, can be construed as binding
the Republican party now to the cause of
the laborer-ia the same line of nason
mg Horace Greeley's previous teachings
bind that party much more stringently to
the present practice of vegetarianism. I
would, from the bottom of my heart, that
ihc parallel to our Silverton's friend's ar
gument might be made to stick ; as it
might help us town-toilers, by lowering
the price of beef, and at the same time
help the farmers by affording an increas
ed demand for their wheat.
Now I wish to speak directly to my Sil
verton friend on my own account. Yon
say that when you or I turn our coats the
effect is trifling. I walk in an humble
station ; but I entreat yon never again to
couple my name and station with yours.
am conscious of great personal faults
and failings. I have aforetimes suffered
suffered uncomplainingly much humilia
tion ; but this last indignity is more than
can patiently bear. Whenever I so far
sacrifice my manhood, and forfeit my self
respect to such a degree as to become a
pliant instrument in the bands of cor
rupt partisan leaders, in the furtherance
of unworthy measures, then I wiil shame
fully and sorrowfully confess my equality
with yourself; but not until then.

THE GULF-STREAM AND POL.E.
The Gulf Stream enters the space a
round the Pole at a temperature above the
freezing point (28 dog.), when we find
warmer water (3G di'g.) almost at the
Pole, and outside the heat-beari;ig cur
rent. The Arctic current that offsetts toe
Gulf Stream and flows south, reaching it;
at 35 deg. temperature, could not have
left the Pole colder than 28 deg.; for then
it would have frozen up. In its transit to
the south it only loses C deg. or 7 deg. of
its temperature. Is it then a thing incred
ible, that the Gulf Stream, this mighty
' river in the o:ean," whose caloric, "if
utilized, could keep in blast a cyclopean
furnace, capable of sending forth a stream
of molten iron as large as the volume dis
chirged by the Mississippi river," is it in
credible that this current may reach the
Polar region at 3G deg.? Remember it
begins its race off Florida at 8G deg.
There certainly issues from the space
round the Pole a ceaseless and mighty
flow of waters to the tropics. In its
course icebergs of huge proportions are
carried off from the mainland. So vast
are these icy masses, and often so numer
ous in floating clusters .as to defy compu
tation. Capt. Beechy saw a small one fall
from a glazier in Spitzbergen, over four
hundred thousand tons in weight. The
Great Western, in 1811, in her transatlan
tic trip, met three hundred icebergs. Sir
John Pass saw several aground, in Baf
fin's Bay, iii water two hundred and sicty
fathoms deep ; one he computed to weigh
1,259.397.073 tons. A Danish voyager
saw one of 900,000,000 cubic feet. Sir J.
C. Ross met with some of these floating
mountains twice as large as this. And in
Davis' Straits, where there is deep water,
"icebergs have been met having an area
of six :quare miles and six hundred feet
high."
The hyperborean current, which bears
these monsters on its bosom has formed
by their deposit from their dissolution, the
Grand Banks of Newfoundland, which, if
the waters of the Atlantic dried up, would
probably be seen to rise from the sea-bottom
in the majestic proportions of the Mt.
Brown and Mont Blanc.
The single drift of ice, which bore on
its Atlean shoulders the English ship
"Resolute," abandoned by Captain Kel
lett. and cast it twelve hundred miles to
the south, was computed to be at least
three hundred square miles in area and
seven feet in thickness. Such a field of
ice would weigh over 18,000.000,000 tons.
We say this was a single drift through
Davis Straits, only one of the avenues of
this current from the Pole, and only a
fractional part of the drift in the year.
What a mighty flow of water from the
south, must that be which, wedging itself
into the space around the Pole, ejects
such masses out of this space as quietly
and easily as the steam driven piston of
the fire-engine throws out its jet d'eau!
We dwell upon the might and magni
tude of this ice-bearing river from the
Pole, because in guaging these we guage
the energy of the reciprocal, heat-bearing
"river," from tbe tropics, i. e., the Gulf
Stream.
The theory of Columbus for finding a
way to the East, had far less to support it,
it seems to us, than this theory of a way
to the Pole. From Putnam's Magazine

NICE ARUWGEMEST.
Ex-Senator Hendricks, of Indiana, in a
lale pPee-Q at Zanesville, Ohio, gave vent
to the follownS truthful remarks, which
sound in the ears of all Radicals, who
olaim the debt is rapidly diminishing un
der BontwelPs administration, in a man
ner that is not pleasing to them.
But they claim they are paying off tbe
national debt. Do you know how that "is
done? They make a tariff so high, in or
der to protect peculiar interests, in crder
to raise prices of -roods upon the country,
that tbe manufacturers of these goods
must make great profits they raised the
tariff so high that it brought , into the
Treasury more gold and silver than was
required to pay the interest on the bond.
Our tariff has been bringing into the na
tional Treasury gold and silver from
$170,000,000 to $190,000,000 a year, and
it only requires $110,000,000 to py the
interest on the public debt. So that the
gold has been accumulating in the nation
al Treasury, and when Boutwell came into
office, I suppose there tad thus accumu
lated over 3100,000,000 of gold in the na
tional treasury from the tariff. Now.
w hat is done ? He sold ibis gold be found
on band in the market, and then with the
greenbacks he got for the gold be buys
in 5-20 bonds at their market price
about $120 for every $100 of bonds. And
that is what ht's been going on ; and that
is the way they are paying off the na
tional debt paying $20 in addition to
what Gov. Morton says is the contract.
In this same speech from which I have
read, Gov. Morton compliments the ad
ministration for paying Off the debt. Oae
hundred dollars, according to Gov. Mor
ton' s construction of the contract, and
that, too. out of gold that had accumula
ted when they came into oflice. And if
you can see any great credit in that it is
more than I can comprehend. Every
thousand dollar bond that is paid off costs
the government in greenbacks about one
thousand two hundred dollars. Governor
Morton says the contract was one thou
sand dollars in five-twenty bonds. Now
what do you think of it? Are you going
to offer up praise to the administration for
that? To pay off tbe national debt in
that way will' cost tbe people of this
country nearly efour hundred millions
more than Governor Morton said in the
Senate was the contract between the bond
holders and the government.
GREECE AXD ITS GOVEIIXJIEXT.
When the War of Independence had
established the country as a separate cora
monweilth, the basis of self-government
was still in existence. It need only to
have been proclaimed the pnuciple of the
State at large. But from the very mo
ment the Greeks had obtained their inde
pendence, an insidious influence exerted
itself to mould them to the level uniform
ity of monarchic il mle.
Kapodistrias. the head of their Provis
ional Government, attempted to introduce
a despotic, bureaucratic regime. He had
been some years before in the diplomatic
service of Russia, and it is not unreasona
ble to suppose that the connections thus
formed were at the bottom of his at
tempt. The subsequent royal govern
ment of Otho.had necessarily similar ten
dencies to crush out the spirit of self-gov-ment.
There were, in 1855, not less than
12 519 royal officials in Greece, at the
side of thirty bishops and archbishops,
and 5.111 priests among a people of but
one million inhabitants! Of monks and
nuns th;re were two thousand. But of
teachers only G71!
The great mass of the Greek nation is
devoted to agriculture. Those occupied
in industry are reckoned at about twenty-six
thousand ; those in navigation, a
boutthe same number ; those who culti
vate the soil at 230.000. It is true, of the
7 700,000 of hectares of. soil, 2.500.000 are
barren mountains and rocks, and S03.090
hectares are forest. Yet, of the remain
der even, scarcely one-sixth is stated to be
really cultivated ; so that the people, with
the exception of the islanders, are mainly
agricultural; grain must be imported. A
great evil is, that the Church holds vast
tracts of the soil in mortmain. There is
little freehold property. Whatever there
is, Is burdened by tithes and heavy im
posts. The mass of the people live most
poorly ; milk and herbs forming, in many
regions, the exclusive nourishment!
And with such a state of things it was
found necessary to introduce another purple-born
ruler as soon as one had been
bundled out! When a people allows it
self to be thus fleeced at home, it becomes
somewhat difficult to feel a thorough in
terest in its Argonautic expeditions n
broad. In many respects the foundations of a
republican commonwealth, similar to that
flourishing in Switzerland, are in exist
ence in Greece. Were Republicanism es
tablished as a state institution, with the
simple and safe forms prevailing in the
Helvetic League, the danger of foreign
influence would be entirely barred out.
aud the country, by its example, might
serve as a political guide to neighboring
populations. As it is, Greece is impov
erished by an expensive royal govern
ment ; its aspirations are misdirected by
an intriguing foreign state-craft ; and the
sympathies of the lovers of freedom are
placed in a painful dilemma from which
there is no escape, except by a sacrifice,
however temporary, of cherished princi
ples, or by a disregard of the first pre
cepts of political self-preservation. Put

CIVIL GOVJEItAMfciXT FUIt ALASKA.
The Alaska Times stongly urges
the Administration to establish a
civil Government in Alaska. It
claimshat the Art of Con gross con
cerning Indian countries, which is
being enforced in that Territory is
detrimental to the interests of Alas
ka and pernicious in its workings.
The population of Alaska consists
of about two thousand Americans
and six thousand Aleutians and Cre
oles, most of the latter being civil
ized and able to read and write.
It is claimed that a civil govern
ment would be less expensive than
the present military system, and
would give greater satisfaction to
the people. It does not appear
tiiac tnere is anv need ot Alaska,!
being longer under military rule.
The recent discovery of vafuable
gold mines in the interior will serve
to bring there a considerable immi
