What has been previously said as to the interest of prosecutors and officials in pro moting prosecutions and convictions in the case or private citizens applies with equal force to the officers of election.

It appears that a feud exist ed between J. A. Abbott, more familiarly known as Asa Abbott, who lives oa a ranch on Upper Payette Valley, and a young man named David 11. Ilannor, who orsoioe time past has been engaged in mini, g on Granite Creek or in il.at vicin ity. ihe parties had not met for aboi.t two months before, and, as we are inlot til ed, the bitter feeling between ttieni be came more intensified in consequence of s. ine rough language made use of by J. A. Abbott in the Democratic County Con vention, which met at Centerville on the 2:Jd of last April, when II unnor's name was placed before the Convention for the nomination for School Superintendent. Asa Abbott and his brother. W'tu. M. Ab bott, and one Cuilen, who has been in the employ of the Abbots at, their ranch, came to Piacerville. which is about twelve miles distant trom the ranch, and they met young ilannor in the plaza, near IE ir Jl .111. 11 111. il uuu. , , 11., . , ,1 words were exchanged between Asa Ab- bolt and Ilannor. the former standing by his mule, while Win.

Ilannor was shot in the back of the head, the bail pen etrating his brain, and .'mother shot lited by Asa Abbott struck him in the center of the lorehead. Ilannor managed to fire twice at Asa Abbott and the third time his pistol went off into the ground its he fell. Asa Abbott fired some three or four shots altogether, and one bail which was intended for Ilannor. took effect in the body of Wm. Abbot, who was standing in the rear of Ilannor. striking him about the center ot the abdomen. Ilannor died almost instantly and William ..-Jibuti lin gered until about. 11 o'clock, p. m . when he also expired- Cuilen. tnough he had his pistol out, we are informed did not tit'e.-bonie one interfering to prevent him.

Some of lite judges of election in Wasco county, who were Democrat?, were brought before the late U. S. Grand Jury for the violation of this bill ; but no sooner was the rumor circulated that there was a probability of an indictment being found against them than information was furnished to that body that two worthy Radicals had also violated the law. and that if the Democrats were in-dicied, the Radicals must go along In the " same boat."7 This probably had a tendency to prevent the finding of an indictment against the Democrats. Ve are also informed that Judge Wilson, late Radical candidate for Congress, has com meneed civil action against three Demo cratic election judges in Wasc o to recover the tine imposed by the fiiteenth amend- ment act. to sav is., t If (hi.; is the case, all we have at w have two Radical elec 'ion judges who will have to be served in a like manner. The complete outrageous ness of this infamous bill has been plainly illustrated in our State already, ami the impossibility for the Radical U. S. courts to enforce it, is also very plaiif. The law has become a dead letter already, as far as Oregon is concerned, ami has had oniy the effect to exhibit, the weak .less of the tyrants who passed it to intimidate the people. It is ail act width should never be allowed enforced by the community of a fre-e State, and wherever it is attempted we believe that resistance will be ' obedi ence to God."? We believe that no clli-J z -n should bo allowed to .-infer for refus i ig to obey such an outrageous act. as it was conceived in irfut iv, passed by t. runts, and the amendment which it seeks to en'V,"ce was never legally made a part o' our (,'op.st itu'.iuti. and whetievcrlhe free wipte pe qip of our oil' e independent itiiiy to ("yret.s c.ui; t :e: os on this subject. it win oc wipe...

Judge Upton was then Judge of this Dis trict, as he is now. The Court was in .-ession at that time in Multnomah county, (lie fame as it is now. but the Court could find it within its power to aeljourn and come up here and sit at Chambers long before this ; but now (he contestant is a Democrat, and so far it has been found utterly impossible to even obtain an idea when this most noble Judge will conde scend to hear this case. Our readers can infer from the above facts whether politics have any effect on (his dispenser of the law. If it was in Judge Upton's power to adjourn Court in Multnomah county two years ago and come up here to try a con tested case when the contestant was a Radical and the acting officer a Democrat, and further, when the majority against the Radical candidate was one-third larger ihan it is this time against the Democratic candidate, why has he found it so utterly impossible to even designate a day to commence hearing the case? From what we can see and learn, it is (he intention of the Radical managers in this case, with Upton at their head, to put off a hearing until the time for an appeal to the Su preme Court this year expires. This course has been made the subject of boast by the Radicals, and the action of the Judge indicates most positively that such is the purpose. Mr. Myers holds (he keys of the jail, and now they propose to force him to give (hem up by a writ of man d'ltans. which application is to be heard d 7 '('( oe.Z to-day. It appears to be the object of these Radical managers to put the contestant, who is undoubtedly en titled to the office by the legal vote's of the county, to as much expense and trouble as possible, and we presume that the County Court will pay the expenses of Mr. Warner out of the people's money. The voters of this county, irrespective of party, want this case to be decided. and the feeling of indignatfon at the Judge is becoming very general. If Mr. Warner is entitled to the office, they are willing to abide an honest investigation, but can see no reason why that investigation should be delayed. The actions in the matter by Judge Upton and the Radical managers have given the people just cause of dis trust, and they are beginning to fear that a just and legitimate decision in the case cannot be obtained. If there is no evil intent in the matter, why desire t5 post pone the investigation until after the lime expires for an appeal to the Supreme Court? We can inform these gentlemen that this dodge will not win. It is true '';At Supreme Court of the State does not meet but once a year, but provision will be made by which it will meet soon alter our regular term of Court if this case is not heard in time to bring it before that Court this session. All we ask in (his matter is justice, and that we will have, in spite of the intrigues and manoeuvres of the counsels and Judge of the illegally installed Sheriff, or any other officer whose elec If' 'H is contested. There is no ques tion j;l minds of (he people of this couutv but ti. t every Radical for county office was defeated. H d those who have been bold enough Jo content for t..'ir rights shall have tlienu We ask noiL'ii-g of Judge Upton but what is right and just in this matter, and to this the people are entitled. It should have been decided before this time, and had the contestants been Radicals we have the precedent of two years ago the Court would have ad journed and the case decided long ago. This dodge to stave off the investigation will avail nothing only to give the Radi cal occupants of the office's a little longer time to hold on to their illegal places, as the Legislature will be called upon to pro vide for a special session to decide on these cases. The people of (his county have lost all hopes of obtaining justice through the Circuit Judge, and therefore must look to a higher tribunal for their rights. Sri 1.1. They Comk. The rat-eaters and pests of our State still continue to arrive in Portland. Some time since we pub lished an article from one of our California exchanges entitled "1200 more' We can now say in Oregon " UOi) more' and con sidering our limited population our pro portion at that figure is greater than the 1200 for California.

These are no idle threats, but white men w ill not s'and quietly by and see their very subsistence taken from them and their children without an attempt to resist the curse that is so fast destroying them. Let our State authorities put a stop to this, and the people will be with them.

This is what our laborers should do. and persist in -it until their object is aCl;omplished. A firm and determined or- o-anizeil resistance will re'sult in a com- - ... - , i 1 1 ! plete vtctory. A pon-rcsis.ing pouc win only result in fasiening'.tht burden strong er upon them. Remember that SC') more of these rat-eating displacers of the whit,C man arrived this week in our State. They are coming faster than the white people of all classes, ami it is time to act. Let the workingmea throughout the State or ganize and protect themselves before it is too late : At a meeting of the workingmen's union to night, the introductie n of Chinese labor into this country was -forcibly denounced as a continuance of slavery and the Mas sachusetts men were declared slavers de serving the punishment, of death. Nelson Young, the president, explained the evils resulting from cheap labor, and another speaker advocated an appeal to force, as serting that it the Government could no keep the Chinese out. the Government should be removed, and all were unani mous in demanding from Congress such measures as would put a stop to the im portation of Chinese. Resolutions to this elfect were adopted, and several rpeakers urged that if (Ins failed, resource should be to arms. A mass meeting of working men, to protest against the importation and employment of Chinese, will be held on Thursday evening next. That's S . Most of our Atlantic ex cha ges are jubilant over the success of the Democracy of this State. They regard the platform on which the victory was won a3 the best. that has been adopted by any State since the commencement of the war. The Copperhead says that Ihe plat form was as near ' repudiation as it could be without being so out and out," and that it would have been stronger if it had." Pomeroy's Democrat thinks tba( the verdict in Oregon t-bows what the per ple will do -when the proper time comes." Every Democratic paper of the West has heartily endorsed the platform of the Ore gon Democracy. This is cheering, and shows that the free air of the Pacific coast has a tendency to cause men to speak as they thiuk. Stolen. We have received the follow ing notiee from IT. S.

TnK Bishop Scott Grammar School The corner-stone of this new institution of learning was laid, with appropriate cere monies, on Tuesday evening. July 5th. The location is a very desirable one, iust west of Eighteenth and between D and C streets. The ground includes the equiva lent of four blocks, and was donated for that purpose by the children of the late Captain Jthn II. Couch. Ti e services were commenced by Pishop Mtrris. who with the congregation assembled, read al ternately the following verses of scrip u;;e : - Our Lt'lp is in lie name of the Lord ; Who hath m:vle hearen and earih : Ple.-sed be the nanut of the Lord ; From (his time loith for evermore. The stone which the builders rejected ; Is become the head of the corner. After further religions services, eon ducted by Rev.

The Radical City Coun cil appointed a lot of electior eerers in this city, and then had the presumption to present (he bill for payment to the County Commissioners. Judge Wait, as he should have done, promptly refused to pay the city's debts. Any appoin(ment made by the Ci(y Marshal extends to the city only, and might as well get the side- wa'ks repaired and present the bill to (he Commissioners as a bill for police service. Rather snmrt (rick, but it makes the City Council look rather ridiculous before the people, in presenting such a claim against the county. Extka Copies.

Lowry.a promP n -at and influential Radical politician in Ohio, has come out from that -foul party;' and joined the Democracy. In doing so he prefers the following charges against the Radicals : They mean to destroy the sovereignty of the States, and to central ize the power of the Government. They mean to force upon the white men polit ic aland social equality with the negro race. They are sustaining a swarm of useless Government loafers, called officers, w ho live, of course, on the' sweat and toil of the laboring producer. Tb'-y proiect monopolies at the expense and without the consent of (he public, and they levyO and uphold unequal taxation, which tends to establish a moneyed and landed aris tocracy, such as exists in all monarchical governments. All the charges in this in dictment of Mr. Lowry are good, and can be sustained bT ample proof, and it is no wonder hat sensible men like Mr. Lowry are abandoning 'the party which is thus ruining the nation and impoverishing (he masses.
