o o o O o o o Elje lUeckln (Enterprise. Oregon City, Or egon , Saturday j : August 20, 1870. The Difference. It has always been the case that when a strong partisan leaves his party and goes ta, the enemy, that he becomes the nv st vehement and zealous in the support of the new doctrine and cause he espouses. Such has been the universal rule; but we have never seen such a palpable turning back on all his former teachings as illus trated in the following extracts from the Bulletin, edited by Mr. James O'Meara. They will not become Iie publicanized in case they shall prefer for an United States Senator one who is not, in certain respects, of their belief, but who has accomplished for Oregon and tor (-Jhe great mass of her property owning, tax-paying, and permanent inhabitants, a greater amount of good in the promotion of the most precious interests of theState. and in the way of substantial advantages! to themselves than any other person. They will not cease to be Democrats by doing this. But. by doing it, they will best prove their duty to their State, and their fidelity to their weal. Interested politicians may endeavor to convince them otherwise, but. be it not forgotten, those very politicians seek only their own ag grandizement, and not that which is wisest and safest lor the people. Nor can we avoid expressing surprise at the refusal of these old parly men of the pure faith to vote for a man to repre sent them, on the score of mere politics, when the men for whom they do propose to cast their votes likewise differ from them in actual belief or sentiment, and thistoo, when they cannot but know that the man they refuse to support can ac complish for them everything they re-quire, whilst those whom they propose to sup port can accomplish nothing whatever in their behalf. Here thev editor counsels the members elected to the Legislature to violate their lienor ami betray their trust, and yet they would still retain their standing as Demo crats. The issue in the late election was made directly against the re-election of Ceo. II. Williams, and a majority of the legal voters decided against him. The case of whicn the Bulletin seeks to make a parallel, has no application to the ques tion at issue. In 1S(J2, the Radical papers and speakers all declared that the man who voted the Radical ticket that year would not be a Republican by so doing ; but this same individual then decTSred that they would not only be Republicans, but traitors to their country and future generations, lie was also very loud and promrt in his endeavors to place outside of theDemocratic party some who had sufficient cause to refuse to support him in 18G6. But, as we said before, that the two cases are not similar. In South Caro lina) there are two men running before the people for their suffrages on purely local issues, which do not partake of a party character ; after the election the party elected stands on the same footing as the members elected to the next Legis lature in the one case the person elected in South Carolina would be bound to car- . ryout the policy which the people en dorsed at the polls, and so are the mem bers elect to the Legislature bound to carry out their pledges made before the election, and only black-hearted traitors would dare to vote for a man whom the people had instructed them not to vote for. We are astonished to see such dis honorable and barefaced propositions put in public print. Arnold was not a great er traitor than would be the Democrat who would vote for Geo. II. Williams. All that would be needed to make him the peer of the arch traitor would be an opportunity. lie would not hesitate to become a Judas, and betray his (Jod and country fcr a less price than the thirty pieces of silver. We known that in these days of Radical corruption and bribery, the honor and integrity of men is fre quently put to its utmost test, but we still have unabiding faith in those men who so nobly fought against the corruption fund before the election and have no fears that tbey will dishonor the trust, placed in their hands, and that such dishonest proposi tions will be treated with the contempt they deserve. In view of the wonderful ) change which has taken place in the editor of the Bulletin is it not fair to suppose that something else beside an honest con viction of the errors of bis forruei politi cal opinions has caused this radical and unnatural change, and as he has probably obtained his price, he thinks the rest of mankind can be moved by the same power. We will close by quoting the following ap propriate and pointed extract from an article on this new convert to Radicalism in the Oregon Republican: "And now, Jemmy, are you cognizant of the fact that you belong to somebody ? Tha you have abandoned all jour time-honored princi ples of modern Democracy? That you are the tool of the meanest monopolists on the Pacific coast? That you are to day advocating universal suffrage, and all the radical principles of the Republican party? That you area dilapidated.su peranuated institution, used by Ben. Hol loday and despised by the people ? -"' Rumor. We see it reported that Mr. Benah Brown is to take the editorial charge of the "Washington iXandard. We wish Mr. B success iu his new field of labor. Death of Mrs. Lane. Mrs. Mary, wife of Gen. Joseph Lane, died at Rof eburg on the night of the 16th inst. She was about 70 years of ae. Suspended. The Evening Commercial, at Portland, has suspended. A Nice Sfecclatiox. Some time since, Mr. Myers was fiued $50 for contempt of Court. About three weeks ago, be paid the fine, partly in county orders and the balance in currency, to the County Clerk. The Clerk then takes the county order and converts it into cui rency and pays the same to the County Treasurer iu sat isfaction of said fire. The currency was, at the time of this transaction, worth less than county orders were selling for and consequently the difference between coun ty orders and greenbacks is realized on start, and the party having the order is now receiving interest on the same, when it should have been turned over to the Treasurer and thus the county would have realized the difference between greenbacks and the order paid, and not out drawing interest, and this order will have to be paid finally with gold, making a still further difference against the county of 10 per cent. The speculation of county offi cers on the funds of the county we believe is strictly prohibited, and if the Clerk had been looking to the interest of the people, he would have paid over the order and not converted it into currency for the benefit of a speculator on the county in debtedness. Mr. W. C. Johnson present ed the order for endorsement, and as he is the leader of the Court House clique, it is but fair to presume that they have formed a kind of " mutual admiration so ciety " for the purpose of speculating on the county's misfortunes. The Clerk may offer the pica that he had no right to re ceive the county order in payment of the fine, and that he could not pay the same to the Treasurer. He could and had no tight to pay anything but the identical money which he received, and if he had not the right to pay over the order, he had no right to take it in liquidation of the fine, as Mr. Myers was responsible for the amount in any kind of money that the law demanded. This is but a small be ginning of what the tax-payers of this county may expect from the "mutual ad miration society 7J before the end of their lease of office. Let the tax-payers of the county cut this item out and keep it for reference at the next election, and if they will then support men guilty of such con- , duct, the cost is upon themselves. Evil, Company. We have never seen the bad effects of evil company so plainly illustrated as in the case of the editor of the Eugene Journal. Some six years ago he was a very modest easy-going unas suming young man. and generally regard ed truthful. Since then he has been most of the time in Washington City, serving in the capacity of door keeper and on the nigger police, and not one of these virtues does he now possess and he can lie equal with the most accomplished Radical liars. Geo. II. Williams was his best friend while their, which probably accounts for the great fall that the young man has sustained, lie should be kept close at home in the future. It is not safe to allow such young and innocent children to venture too far from home. If proper care is taken with him some of his early virtues may be restored. It is very evident that evil company has done its diabolical work on him. We told him two weeks ago that he ststed a falsehood, and last week he reiterates it. showing that he has learned the Radical maxim that a lie well stuck to is as good as the truth. Is it a Wrong Guess? A friend at Portland asks us whether we could guess the author of a lengthy communication which appeared in the Herald, last Febru ary, signed Fair lMay.;' which pitched into the East Side Railroad, Ben. Ilolla day. Dr. Loryea, and the manner of pro curing the signatures ot the guests on the occasion of a trip with the Commissioners who had been appointed to accept the first twenty miles of said road. Of course we could hardly be expected to guess the author of that communication from his present position, but. notwithstanding the contradictory position which is now held by the gentleman, we guess the author of said communication to have been no other than the present editor of the Bulletin. Strange as it may seem, we are inclined to think that the guess " is correct aud that we made a hit the first time. Does said editor wish us to guess again? A Happy Event. The Radical organs contain nothing but labored efforts to aid the re-election of Geo. II. Williams. The railroad hobby is their only theme, and is made to appear as of greatest importance. If these Radicals can show any great good Williams has done in his term of six years, it is more than the people have seen. All the railroad franchises which Oregon has been the recipient of. with the exception of the Mc.Minnville and Astoria grant, were obtained without Williams. It is simply a dodge of the Radicals to obtain now what they lost at the polls last June. Wouldn't it be a nice spectacle, after the fight that was made in the last election, to have the Democracy return to the Sen ate this chief of demagogues? Nothing but fools and knaves would expect the Democracy to be guilty of such a thing. Their cries are in vain, and when the TJ. S. Senator is elected their occupation will be gone forever. Four more weeks will relieve the poor fellows. The BuUiten editor has taken the trouble to classify the various Democratic papers sa to their choice for Senator. We have so far failed to notice in any paper that they favor particular individuals. We presume that the editors of the Democrat ic papers have all sent him the names of their private choice. If the Democratic editors now diifer in their choice, they were united in the last campaign in the defeat of the Bulletin's choice, and they made a success of it. Death. The dispatches this week an nounce the death of Admiral Farragut. lie dbd at the Portsmouth Navy Yard last Sunday, aged near 70 years. "A Wkoxg GcErfrf." tte alluded last week to a correspondence (so-called) that had appeared in the Portland Bulletin. in which we used the familiar phrase of "that's what's the matter with Hannah." to which the editor of that paper replies that the author of the letter was not Mr. lln iah.r? No one but the Bulletin editor would ever have conceived the brilliant idea that we had any intention of placing the authorship of that so-called communi cation on Mr. Hannah. We know the weakness of said editor for manufacturing correspondence too well to missplaee the authorship of that communication (so called). It we bad intended to guess the author, we should have pointed at the ed itor of that paper, and our guess would have been correct. But it matters very little who the author may be. We wish it understood, however, that Mr. Dolph Han nah is not the kind of a Democrat to furn ish such communications, especially when there is no truth in them. Threat. Senator Williams appears to have come to the conclusion that coaxing the people to re-elect him will not avail, and has taken to threatening. In bis speech at the reception, in Portland, he said : 41 I have three months yet to serve, and as the bill for the Salt Lake branch of the Union Pacific road will be up be fore Congress this winter. J shall have something to say as to its passage." Evi dently the Senator wants revenge on somebody. But the people cannot be bought by either threats or railroads. It is disgusting to see with what zeal the Radical editors hang to a political corpse, one that has been so positively con demned, and which should be buried out of sight for its obnoxious stench. Sym pathy for the sacred dead ought to dictite to these Radical editors to allow the corpse to rest in peace. Contest. The contest in Wasco county, before a Radical Judge, who himself was a candidate, leaves the result as canvassed by the board. If the decision of the Judge be correct, one of the Democratic members to the Legislature in that county is defeated. This investigation should put a stop to the Radical cry of frauds by the Democracy in that county. Judge Boise, in Yamhill, has thrown out enough Democratic votes to elect the Radical con testants. This was expected. as the J udge's own position depended on the decision. Telegraphic Clippings. EUROPEAN U'AU M3W5. Brussels. Aug. 13. Advices from Metz. through private channels, seem to eouiini the story of the removal of the Prince Imperial from France, lie has not been seen in court or church since Sunday.

A special to the Tel egraph says, reports from Carlsruhe this morning announce the capitulation of Strasbourg, after a short bombardment. Reinforcements for the French, both men and stores, are constantly und rapid ly arriving.

Pont a Mousson. and Steinme'.z is at Frouard. which isonly a few miles from Nancy, while the Crown Price is advan ting from Strasbourg on Meu." If this be true, he must have paed to the right. Our correspondent telegraphs from Lux embourg, on Sunday, that the Crown Prince entered Luneville. which place had been evacuated by the French. The emperor has left Metz for Chalon.s. A great battle is expected to morrow be tween Nancy and Chalons. New York. Aug. 15. There was a bat tle at Metz yesterday. Both sides claim the victory. The Chicago Tribune7 New York spe cial says it was np to midnight indicated that the Prussians were making an effort to reach Paris by getting between the French force9 stationed at Chalons nnd at Metz.

A despatch from Carlsruhe says the Prussians now occupy Mnlhausen and Saar. One hundred thousand Landwehr are crossing the frontiers. It is reported that the retreat of the French main army from Metz upon Chal ons was to avoid a battle, and published telegrams to that effect seem intended to mislead our special correspondent atChal ons. who is a French officer and cannot be deceived about the movements of Ihe army. He wrote on Friday that all were beirfg pushed forward to Metz. New York. Aug. 15. A correspondent from Lauterburg writes thai on Friday, Hagenan was captured by a small detach ment.

On the same day a grand re connoisance led by King William in per son, maintained itself some hours within two miles of the French defences, without any effort on the part of the French to dislodge them.

A correspondent of the Daily News from Luxembourg, says the result of Monday's battle was io force th Germans back. According to ihe last reliable advices, the evacuation of Metz was stayed by the advance guard of the Crown Prince. Reports from Yerdun stale that a great battle is going on. but the si lence of the French authorities confirm the rumors received here of Prussian vic tory. Great consternation was produced in Paris by the declaration of the state ot siege in Algeria. Niw York, Aug. 16. London special to the Tribune. Our correspondent writes that the appearance of the field after the battle near Longueville stands thus: French loss 10.000 killed and wounded, and 7.000 prisoners ; German loss 7,500 A Tribune correspondent from Weissen burg says the French regiments are con stantly passing through. The Germans boait that the have a million men on French soil. A World's London special says we have no account of a French victory at the crossing of the Moselle but the Emperor's official dispatch. There are rumors, though, to-night, that the Prussians have suffered a most serious defeat, with enor mous loss of men, and have been driven back to the river. This does not come from the French Government, which man ifests singular indifference to public opin ion, probably in consequence of the mili tary character imposed upon it by its head. Count Palikas. New York, Aug. 17.- Gallardiet tele graphs to the Courrier des Ftats that the battles of Sunday and Monday were both fought between Metz and Yerdun ; that these attacks, however, had not checked the French retreat. On the contrary the Prussians sustained so severe a reverse that they were compelled to halt in their victorious march from the Moselle. He adds : The check will enable General Trochu to organize a new army at Cha lons, already numbering 200.000 men." Paris. Aug. 17. The Prussian loan was unsuccessful at Hamburg. London, Aug. 17. Last evening the Strasbourg garrison made a sortie towards Onyward. but were driven back with a heavy loss of men" and three guns. It is fully confirmed that Empress Eugenie hi:s applied to Belgium for permission to traverse that country in going to England. Ihe limes says the trench army re ceived a finishing blow at Metz. A de cisive battle vill be fought at Chalons aner wnicu Jtaigtisti intervention is ex pected. London, Aug. 17.

We gained the advantage, but lost heavily. Gravelotte is a small village six miles southwest, of Metz. and two miles west of Moselle. A New Dodue. The Oregonian having run out of names for Democratic aspirants to the U. S. Senate, has taken a new dodge, and now says that the Democracy propose to create a separate Supreme Court, and place upon it as Chief Justice one of the prominent candidates for the Senate. Don't the Oregonian man know that a Supreme Court cannot be organized until the State has 200.000 population? That dodge won't deceive anyone. Try some thing else. Copy what the San Francisco Call says, which you designate as a Demo cratic paper. The Bulletin and Oregonian are equally as good Democratic papers as the Call. Retired. In the issue of the Herald of the 14;h inst., appears the valedictory of S. C. Simpson. Esq. Mr. S. has been con uected with that paper for the past four months and has shown marked abilities as a writer, ite retires on account or in health, and. as he says, having satisfied a curiosity which he entertained. We wish him success in whatever pursuits he may hereafter engage, and hope that they may not prove as trying and laborious as edit ing a newspaper. Withdrawn. Mr. A. A. Ames gave no tice in the Bulletin of the 14th inst. that his connection with that paper as associ ate editor ceased with that issue. In a subsequent issue, Mr. O'Meara gives notice that Mr. Ames had published his card without hi3 knowledge and that Mr. A. had not been associate editor, but local. If we remember correctly, it was announc ed editorially that Mr. Ames was associate editor. Changed Hands. The Roseburg Ensign is on the change. Two weeks ago it came to us with the name of Mr. Swain as pro prietor. Last wfek it comes to us with the news that Mr. II. II. Gale, the original founder of the institution, and who sold out because he could not swallow negro suffrage as a party doctrine, has again assumed the proprietorship. If we understand Mr. Gale's views on political matters, we should judge that the Oregon I Republican will hereafter find it laboring Wltu lb IVcw To-Day. KOW'S THISF0R HIGH?
