Oragon City, Oregon ,

The Standard Jjarer.
The CTncugo Democrat says that the Re
public in press ha been very much
troubleiof lat.e9cspi'c!ing the Dernoora! ic
stand iru bearer, in 1672. For their inhu
mation we wills:ate that the nominee ol
the delegates to the National Con volition
will be the man. and that he will hav.
certain distinctive qualifications, viz:
First, lie will be above suspicion o'
. 'ahehood. Second, he will Hl ;,bov.
staking biibes and appointing the donor
to high offices. Third, he will be aboy
reccommeiiding any and all urts cd' lobln
t-windli'S. He wiil respect the righ's o
-States, the rights of individuals, the rii:h'
ot the Supreme Court. und particularly tin
rights of I be U.S. S-nate. lie will n
have certain qualities possessed by tin
present iiic finbeKt. lie will hive no
lather, brother, or bro hei-in-law to re
ward. For their further information we will
venture the prediction, that d w John
A. Log, m will be the nominee; of the Re"
spnb'ican party, and that neither the Pres
ident nor his fellow conspir:ors can pre
vent it, (and the Chicago Tribune wiil be
-liii organ.)
'" Fkienik.y Discussion.'" The Oreyon
ian designates tie- rupture in the Radical
party as a ' Iriend'y di-cu -.-ion of princi
ple.!. M In the firs, place the R uiical parly

every issue now bet. ire the people, the
leadcs are at war v.ih ear!) other to such
fin extent that it. is impossible for them to
reconcile the diiferen-os. There is only
one principle which brings them together
G on an -important election.'7 and that is
the cohesive power of oiiije. The Ore
fjoaiua urght as well tn lintuiti that the
quarrel in the Democratic ranks ten years
ago was simply a - friendiy discussion oi
principles,"' yet it, resulted in the defeat
of the party. This is just what the
-friendly discussions ! iln- Radical party
wiil amount to in fbe end.'' Ttje ditler-t-nces
cannot be Inriii uii.ed as easily now
as ihey could in former years, and the
masses will not be driven into the support
of a lew office holders under the party

itself it must fail. -Whom the gods
would destroy Phey first make mad."
riiovtm:!) Fun. J. V. Forney who
is tt proprietor of two papers, - both
daily," was about kicking out of the
tr.aiit traces, so he had to be provided
j-OT by the Administration. lie was com
paring the removal of Sumner by Grant,
to the removal of Djnglas from (be Com
mi t tee on Territcr.es. by the influence of
Buchanan, and predicting to the Repub
lican Jpr.rty the same demoralization and
defeat which overtook the Democratic
party in 1800. This kind of thing was
dangerous, and so the President has n m
in ited Fortiov to be Collector of the Fori
of Philadelphia, which will doubtless in
duce that immaculate to hold his peace
until the meeting of the next National
Convention. That Forney was a defaulter
in his accounts as Secretary of the Senate
makes no difference Grant does not suf
fer such technicalities to stand in the way
ol his appointments.
O
Farewell to Grant-
The New York Jlrald. wl ich has a'
ways pupported Gen. Grant, bids him
farewell in the following m inner :
We have been disposed to sustain Gen

the President quarreled and attempted to
whip into his measures .Mr. Sn inner, the
ft remosi man in iie Senate and one of
the (ddest, and most efficient men that
b.iitt up the party which put him in the
QVilile House. We See the imtnedi iU' re-

of the road about three miles, and pass on

given up the project of bringing the

Francisco and will commenze the publi
cation at Portland a new paper, und r the

think there are t uongh strong mitid-.-d
women in Oregon to sustain such a paper,
but. as there are a large number ot weak
minded men. it may receive a living sup

President Grant as' 1 he Head of a
Ku-K.ux ILlan-
In the course of hi? great speech on the
San Doming, question. Senator Sumner
arraigned President Grant as the head
and leader of a K.i-K!ux Kian which de
manded suppression, and also as bein"
engaged in an effort to trample upon the
rights of the African race. On these
points Mr. Sumner said :
How can we expect to put down Ihe
Ku-k!u: at The Sou'h when we set in
motion another Ku klux kindred in con
stant jnsubo disunion to law and the Con
stitution ? Differing in dj. -cs. the two
are kindred in this in.-ubordiriation
One strikes at national life si ml the other
at individual life. One molests a people
the other a community. Lawlessness is
the common element. But it is difficult To
see how we can condemn with propet
reprobation our own domestic- Ku klux
in its fearful outrages while the Preside!)
pn's himself at the In-nd of a poweifu
and costly Ku klux. operating abroad, ii

stowed upon his a"empt to obtain half an

Ku klux would have existed in nime only
while tranquility reigned everywhere
wi; Stin our borders. , ,
Ileie there was prolonged burst of ap-p'au-n
from She g tileries, which the Vice
President suppressed.
Mr. Sum uer proceeded:
Now. sir. -as I desire the suppression o!
the Ku klux. and as seek the elevation
d ihe African race I insist t hut the Presi
dential scheme which installs a new form
of the Ku-klux on toe coasts ot San Do

blick Republic, shall be arrested. 1

Senators declined to be bound by any

Sawyer was of the opinion that after the

a marriage ceremony next week tit the

that the parlies intend to have the mar-

cording to the rites of the Greek Church,
t he young lady being a Roman Catholic
and Ranbaye a member of the Grek

Whit the Democracy Propose to do.
Our Radical friends are much alarmed
at what the Democracy propose doing
should they get into power. They set up
all kinds of imaginary theories and pro
claim them as the true intent of the
party. For their information, we publish
the following purposes of the Democracy,
taken from one of our e changes, and
which we most heartily endorse.
Democrats propose to undo Radical
legislation in regard to revenue. They
propose to do away with the robbery
called protection. In doing this, how
ever, they cannot restore to the people
the hundreds of millions of dollars taken
from them and transferred to the pockets
of the manfacieriug monopolists by
means thereof. The Democrats propose
putting a stop to Ihe reckiss squander
ing of the public lands to partisan rings ;
but it does not follow that, they can
restore lo ibe public domain thai
which has already been given away.
We would restore ihe Union as it was.
with the addition only of the Thirteenth
Amen .Intent stop all naiiou.il in teference
with the affairs of Ihe States, and leave
the people thereof perfectly free, as they
were in lonner d.ys. lo regulate their do
mestic institution in their way, own sub
ject only to the Constitution of the United
States. If i he pe jple are not lit for this.
Ihey are not fit, for freedom. This doc
trine we are ready to proclaim front the
house tops.
ToNN'AOK ON" TIIK RlVKK. At tllO office
of ihe P. T. Co. we have seen an interest
ing comparative table, showing that the
river freights of the present season are nop
behind formi r years, not wit hs'anding llie
fact that a huge amount of Oregon pro
due's have lately been transported on the
railroad. During the eight months ceding
April 1st, lSilSI, the dowj Ireighls wore
2 1.207 t ns ; f.r same to 1S70. they were
'-l!S.."7 1 tons : for same to ls71 21 722 tons.
The up freights lor the present year are
not quite so large but the difference is
more than made up by ihe inert use of
transportation down si ream. There is a
percepiible increase. Mr. Patton informs
us. in transportation of wares of home
manufacture, which is a favorable sign
tor the country. Judging that the rail
road has aiso carried thousands ol tons of
freights down, these figures show lhal
Oregon has increased her surplus products
in ls71 over lb70 at least one-thhd.
Salt. Salt is one of the great staples.
It, is of uniold value to any nation. It is o!
especial value lo the people of the United
States. We. in this countrv. can. says ihe
Crisis, were it not for taxation, sell salt as
cheap as any nation on eanh. We can
produce it as cheaply as any spot on the
globe, yet. bi cause of this curse of taxa
tion, a gold dollar will buy twice as much
salt in Fngiand or Spain as here, where
naturally it. cost less! So much for the
beauties of a government which deprives
a nation of ihe fruits o! its own resources,
through killing taxation.
The Sacra men lo Union, a strong sup
porter of Gi ant, says :
Whatever ma be the tone of the Sen
ate, this Republic is not yet so blunted in
i;s moral senses as to view with uncon
cern its greaiest and purest men dragged
down and torn by pigmies, place-hunters
and political adver Mirers. The removal
of Sumner from he Committee on Foreign
Relations and of Trumbuil from the Ju

issued, announcing that the Pacifit;
Churchman would be commenced again

Sit.t.v. A telegraph dispatch from
Washington states ihe silly story that the
President favors the appointment of Sum

that would have another removed from a
Senate Committee will not likely appoint
him as one of bi-j chief officers. The dis
patch is simply a blind to deceive Sum
ner's friends. Nobody but a fool will
place atiy reliance in this siily report

J. K. Beau.
Our readers will remember the arrest of
Mr. Bear, at this place, under the name f
J Curtis, some three months since, and
that he was taken back to Brownvilie,
Nebraska. IL trial came off last month,
and he confessed his guilt. He was sen
tenced to one years' imprisonment. It is
understood that he will be pardoned.
We find the following communication re
litin"- to him in the Omaha ILrall of the
I'Jth of Match, which wiil be read with
interest.
In writing lhi-3 communication I have
nothing to say in extenuation of the ?rim.
of J. K. Baer. except t'O far as a trutiUu
statement, ol the peculiar circumstances o!
his case may better iniurm the public mini,
of the cotiisi of events which made hin
almost an in voluntary criminal. Up to
the time of his sudden disappearance from
the est v ot Brownvilie. he had held a high
positioii in the pecuniary trust and social
respect of the community in which he
lived.
One morning he was missing, a distract
ed wilt was inquiring for his whereabouts,
and the town was thunderstruck over his
disappearance ; and it was not until
letter ol explanation was found, in his
handwriting, under the door of ihe Demo
crat office, that the public and his friends
accepted the truth thus forced upon ihein,
that he was a fugitive from justice und a
defaulter lo the amount of S12.0U0.
Some months prior to bis departure w'ph
the money of the express company, he had
contracted the habit of gambling. lie was
at that time earning one hundred and fifty
dollars a month, and had but a Wife and
child to support. His bahlts were no:
expensive, and he no doubt rnigftt have
laid up much more than half.
The terrible fascination of gaming took
entire posse-sim of him. Week after
week he saS', his earnings dwindling away,
and in a tit of despeiation he boirowed
some of the company's money in hopes of
retrieving h;s losses.
Returning from play one night be found
that he had gone beyond the power of his
restoration, and knowing that the differ
ence in the accounts would be discovered
within a week, his gambling known to his
friends and family, he absconded with
S 12.000, and was nit lor some months
heard of until his arrest in Oregon City,
Oregon.
IDs own words tell the story better than
anything else.
The next morning I realized what I
had done. I wanted to go back and re
store the money, and would have done so
could I have devisid any way of doing it
wi; bout discovery ; but it was too late,
and I could only doe the country. 1 de
termined to go to some iar off place, invest
what money 1 had. and make enough in
three years lo pay back wb it I hud taken.
God only knows what I have suffered
while thinking over the wrongs done my
wife and little child.
I never slept a night until I was taken,
without the use of morphine, and 1 lie night
of my arrest I felt more relieved than 1
had tor months Indole. I knew all along
for months that the officers we.e coming
to lake me back to Brownvilie. and when I
lirst knew it 1 packed up my things t go
to South America, but, whim I realized
that the same tortures of conscience would
follow me i here. I 'Concluded to wail ; and
then began to look anxiously for the ar
rival of the men to come and take me.'
Mr. Baer was employed by Ben IIol
lalay in Portland, Oregon, and during
his stay in that place bad wen the conli
deuce of the community. That he antici
pated his arrest, is proven by a sworn
aO.'davit. ! .ued by the Secietury of State
in Ore i n.

(who has since died) and litis made provis
ion for his cliiid. lb has made all the
restitution in his power to the company
which he has wronged, and renounced his
evil companions, the real authors of his
ruin. His speech tit his trial, at which he
persisted in pleading guilty, was deeply
affecting, and breathed a spirit ol full and
deep contrition. The hi nest judgment ot
Chief J usiiee Mason meo's the hearty en
dot semen t of his many friends in Brown
vilie. who are anxious to see him redeemed
Irom the padi iuio which he so suddenly
lei!, and m ule an honorable member of
society. That when his term of imprison
ment is over ihe pas; ot his iile may be
covered with the mantle of charitable
forgiveness.
Bear, in a m anient of the strongest pos
sible temptation, took money from a com
pany woiih millions, hut never has he
been known to wrong, in any way. an in
dividual. It ever a ease appealed strongl v
for a lenient exercise, of executive clem
ency, this case certainly does.
