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

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.

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

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."

believed yet to be in actual command of
the army.
Metz. Aug. 17. 3 p. m. We had a se
rious engagement yesterday near Gravel

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

curiosity which he entertained. We wish
him success in whatever pursuits he may
hereafter engage, and hope that they may

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

to us with the name of Mr. Swain as pro

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
