V. Milwaukie A Franlc Admission. 0 It will bo remembered that a short time since, E. R. Hoar, present Atiorncy Gen eral of the United States, was appointed an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States by President Grant, and assigned to a Southern Circnitbut the Seriate refused to confirm the appoint ment ; and it is said that all the Senators fromClhe Southern States opposed the ap pointment on the grounds that it was a man to a SouthernCircuit. This is de cidedly rich, when we take into consider ation the fact that all of the present Sena tors from the Southern States are northern men. interlopers, carpet-baggers, who have not one sentiment, or one impulse in common with the natives of the Southern States. In speaking of the refusal of the Senate to confirm the appointment of Attorney Gen eral Hoar to a judgship, the Xation, pub lished in New York City, and the most re liable Republican paper published in the United Stes, says : The southern Senators, then, who op posed the President's selection must bo held either to have defiled the appoint ment of an unfit man, or else they must have had some further reason which they did not choose to avow. The former al ternative is of course the most probable. The truth must be told, however, that, beneficial as reconstruction has been in other respects, the class of Southern poli ticians whom it has brought to tho surface, and into whose hands it has given the reins of government, are as poor a race of men as ever . manipulated caucuses or called conventions.' They form, in fact, one of the most gigantic rings'7 at pres ent existent in the country, organized in the most careful manner throughout the South, solely for the purpose ot perpetu ating their own rule." This ring it is which in the main elects every Southern Senator, and it is, of course, in the interest of the uig that the Southern Senaiorsovote. What they wanted at this tinro was. not a wise judge, nor a learned judge, nor an upright'jiidge, but a judge of their own kind ;Qnd we have no hesitation in saying that they would have cheerfully supported -the nowiinatioti of a native of Alaska, if they could have had assurances that ha would have decided casesj-n the -i carpet bag" interest. The "shriek of locality"7 coming from these men is indeed onu of the most amusing (hat was ever shrieked in the political world, because tln-y owe Qheir own seats to a party which has at tained power by disregarding every claim of the sort. And again, it turther says in the same article-: To sum up all these various objections in one he was objected to as having a judicial mind. This was hts fault ; he was 1 not a rabid partisan. If he had been, he would have been confirmed. That is so. Radicals do not want wise, learned, or upright judges 5 but seek for judges of their own kind judges who will, in defiance of law, jns'icr, and their official oaths, decide in favor of their party friends, and against Democrats. We have too many partisan judges in this country for the good of the country.' and still the leaders of the partvQn power are still fur ther trying to obtain a more corrupt and partisan judiciary in order that Radical frauds, perpetrated for the purpose of se curing the success of that party, may go unpunished. This is a horrible slate of affairs for freeZAmerica, but it is so, and we fully agree with the Xaiion in itseas sertion that the Senate would have, cheer fully supported for this judgship a native of Alaska, if they could have had assur ances that he would decide cases in favor of the carpet bag interest.

The Orejonlm says that a piece of pork has been sent to that office from Yamhill county, which is filled with small sacs, orcfollicles, inclosing ani malcule, and which the party sending it thinks may be dangerous to persons eat ing it ; in fact, that it is the trichina. The pork was placed in the hands of Dr. Wat kins for analysis. Tho Doctor has made the examination, and writes to that paper that he has found no trichina in the pork, but that tho animalcula; contained in the little sacs are simply the germs cf the tape worm. But this isliot very consoling, in-oj asmuch as the tape worm is almost as surely fatal as the trichina. d) .

" "axy. Some three monfhj sigjee the American Shoe Tip Com pany of Boston, Qlassachusetts, sent us a special advertisement, together with fifty ceiits in postal currency, with a request to return tho jucrify, if that amount woiftd not pay for one insertion. According to our rates the advertisement could not be inserted for less than $2.50 in c6hi and we returned the ' money." Since that time we have received three letters from this firm, requesting us to send them either the paper containing their advertisement, or return to them their money, each letter containing a three cent postage stamp. As before stated, we have returned thefty cents, but if this enterprising company will appoint an agent here, or in Portland, who U authorized to receipt for the same, we will pay the money again, and return the nine cents postage stamps, in order to be rid of tho bother. Gentlemen of the "American Shoe Tin Company,7 pleare attend to this matter at once, as we do not with to be bored any more oa this subject. So far as the charge of using money in the last State election is concerned in thi. e.onntv. we desire to refresh the recoiie tion of our Republican friends. They all must remember that one reason they gave for their defeat was, that Stifzel, who had their money to use, had thrown them off. Put the Oregonian man says they propose to raise money to 'circulate reading matter.' This is all well enough, but what kind of reading matter will it be ? We say. some thing to deceive those whom they cannot buy. Two years ago, they did the same thing. Then they circulated " rcadlaq matter'1 to make the people believe that they were not in favor of negro suffrage, or the principles embodied in the 15th mendment. This was as reprehensible as buying votes, but they dare not deny that they did so. But it is " Democratic Cheek" to mention these things. Yes, it is " Democratic Cheek" for working men to organize for their own protection. It is " democratic cheek?' for any one to ask an explanation with reference to the con duct of the republican party. We trust that there will be si. flici'uit "democratic. check"' at the next election to satisfy the radical leaders of this State, that they are responsible to the people for their conduct. rr o - . Sliscegc-natioM. and its Constqacnccs. Phelps N. Y.. (D;'c. 21) Correspondence of Rochester Union. GOur usually quiet little town was startled on Sunday morning the 12th inst.. by the arrival of a huge negress on the 10:10 ex press, who claims that, she is the wife of a young man (white) by the name of Phil lip?)Gwbo resides here, and is quite re spectably connected. As soon ft s her presence in town became generally known, a delegation of prominent Republicans waited upon her for the purpose cf ascer taining the facts in her case. She said that she was married to Phillips at Lex ington; Va.. her present home, some time during the war. and that they lived to gether about two years, when he express ed a desire to go north and sec his friends; that he left her and went north some months ago, and that she was now in quest of him. She produced a large bundle of letters, which she said he had written her, and in which he addresses Lor as his "dar ling wife,' and closes with "your affec tionate husband." Her Republican breth ren who composed (he delegation told her that she had better return home, as her stay would disgrace Phillips' family. Her reply was, " Am I not one of the family ?" They felt the force of her reply, and their hearts were immediately filled with love as Phillips" undoubtedly had been for their dark-skinned sister. We understand they left her, promising every assistance in their power. In slal nfe the female " Fifteenth Amendment" compares favorably with the Onondaga humbnir. She dresses in the height of fashion, and wears Phillips' picture on her bosom. Phillips, although a white man, is a radical negro of the Butler school. His unfortunate family must feel deeply the disgrace he has "wrought upon them. II they sympathize with the political party to which he belongs, we can only say : "Open now thine eyes, and behold the legitimate fruit of the Republican princi ples you profess." We understand that she has had several interviews with Phil lips, but that .he is unable as yet to induce him to return to her bed and board. We are glad that the Republicans of Phelps vindicated their doctrine in this instance. and sincerely hope that if Thi'dips will not return to the bosom of his3 "darling wife," she will make a short visit to Indi ana, return, and, with the help of Becchcr & Co.. reward one of them, at least, for his faithfulnees. " Let us have peace." ' -00 -- -We have received steamer. Swan, was to make her first trip; from Gardner to Scotts-burg on the 12th instf.nt, at which time the beauty and chiv alry of Smiths River, Gardner, Scottsburg and the surrounding country, were to as- 1 semble at the latter named place and have a social party in honor of the event. We have no doubt that it ail came, off as plan ned, and that they had a merry time. Reports from Myrtle Creek state that some of the claims in that district are pay ing very good wages, while others upon which a great deal of labor has been ex pended, are yielding nothing but disap pointment to the owners. Some of the miners are leaving their claims, being wholly discouraged, while others are mak ing preparations for working their claims more extensively. Mr. E. G. Browning, owner of the nuarlz lead lately discovered near the line of Douglas and Jackson counties, called on us on Thursday. We saw the returns of an assay of some of (he quartz taken from his claim, made by M. A.King, of Portland, which report a yield of $'.' 01 silver, and d87 81 gold, total yield per ten, 120 75. The thickness of the lead is fi om eighteen inches to two feet. Mr. Browning has purchased a mill which will be put r.p on the lead as soon as (he condition of roads will admit of its being moved. Y'e wish hiin the best success in the enterprise. McMIXNYILLE. Facifio Blade, January 25th. On la;t Friday night a band of Indians obtained whisky from some one who had not the fear cf the law before him. and got on a general drunk. They went to the house of "French John." irear the residence of W. T. Newby, and made very hostile demonstrations, frightening John and an other Frenchman until they tied, and scunht refuge at Mr. Newby 's. Two of the Indians pursued, and it was with some difficulty that they were restrained from committing some act of violence. They were armed with guns, and fired one shot while in the Frenchman's house. Strict inquiry is being made (o ascertain where they obtained whisky, and if the gujlty party is found, he will be dealt with sum marily. Mr. Newby has written to agent Lafoilett in regard to the matter. DALLAS. ' From the Times, Jm. 22. Mr. L. II.
