It is easy to see that this bill may be s

thy,t point has not been reached. My wish
and hope are that, il may be forever'avert
ed in this once peaceful and happy land :
and I therefore oppose this measure as
one fraught with danger and freighted
-with no good. o
Why, sir, this bill, which claim:; for its
object the security of the citizen ia hi
right to vote and "to preserve the puiify
of elections, tends to prevent the holding
of elections aPall, or to give the entire
-control of them to the party in power for
vthe time beingo I am not sure that is not

those who advocate its passage. Stirelv

counsel fees, to every person seeking to
register or vote who may be wrongfully
rejected ; an d also to a 'line of ;?oJJ and
imprisonment for a year for each wrong
ful rejection.
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.
Is there not danger that in view of the
risks attending th i performance of the ser
vices required of these ofiieers competent
persons cannot be found willing to exnose
themselves to Win in the discharge of the
thankless and dangerous duties of ihose
petty offices, oral least that only members
of the party in power will d ue to accent

Is there 9ot danger too that where such,
boards of regira'ion and election uie

Oa last Saturday evening Placeivilu
was tin
icoue of one of the most terrible
tragedies that we have ever been oil led
upon to chronicle, and which result
ed in the instant eleath of one young man
and the death of another a few hours
afterwards. 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

in the employ of the Abbots at, their
ranch, came to Piacerville. which is about
twelve miles distant trom the ranch, and

being off somewhat to one side during the
conversation. Ilannor stepped torward
and pistols were drawn. 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

.Mr. Smith savs iu his speech. Some of

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

Radical candidate for Congress, has com

If (hi.; is the case, all we have

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 DillereDce-
Two years ago the office of Sheriff of
this county was in contest. At that time
the contestant vs a Radical, and the
party holding the office a Democrat.
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.

What Should be lone.
The following action" was l ad by the
laboring people of Xew York City on the
21th ult. 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.

ing notiee from IT. S. Treasurer Spinner :

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. Mr. Stoy. the Bishop pro
ceeded to lay the CDrner-stone in the name
ot the Holy Trinity. Then followed the
Bishop s interesting address in which he
paid a just tribute to (he memory of his
predecessor. Bishop Scott. Remarks were
also made by Rev. Mr. Stoy, Judge Deady.
and Rev. Mr. Bonnell. Rev. James and
John W fjellwood also assisted in the ser
vices of the occasion. Advocate.
.
Ratiiku Cool. 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. Extra copies of the En
terprise containing the masterly speech
of Hon. J. S. Smith, can be obtained at
this office. Single copies 10 cts., or S1.00
per dozen. It should be placed in' the
hands of every citizen of this State.
New Paper. Mr. Bacon, postmaster in
(his city, handed ns a paper last week en
titled the Orenon Good Templar. It is a
small sheet, edited by C Real. Esq., and
filled wi'h interesting reading matter. It
is furnished to subscribers at $1.00 lor six
months.
A Victim. Jndgo Deady 'g slaughter
louse has found another victim. W. K.
Smith. Esq., a Democrat, of course, has
been found guilty of perjury. This case
is somewhat notorious through the Slate.
We shall Lave occasion to refer to it here
after. Locatkp. Judge D. 31. McKenney. for
merly of this city, and late editor of the
Entkrpiuse, has located himself in Baker
City, Dakcr county, to practice law. "We
can recommend him to persons having
legal business, and wish him abundance
of success in his new field.
Leaves it. George W. 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. TVt iladelphia A ge.

in working Lizzy twelve hours,
