The Radical Disorganizes.
When President Giant was elected, his
motto was "Let as have peace." A reat
majority of the American people thought
that he vas sincere in this profession, and
. that peace, unity and good will would
soon reign throughout our land But since
that time, there can be no doubt in the
. mind of any citizen that the lead ts of the
Radical party have determined to have
no peace unless it he on a basis of a per
petual power in their favor, Peace is
, 'what the Radical leaders do not want, for
l hey fee that everywhere in the South,
where ihe bayonet is taken from the
throats of the people, Ibey turn ins ippor.
of t')e Democracy, and are tletermined to
-"-discard the Radical carpet-baggers. For
two years peace reigned in the Southern
.Spates, and no -sooner than the people had
oppoituniy of discarding (lie men
Jorced upon them as rulers, they com
menced the tabrieation of the most out
rageoiia slanders upon Ihe people of the
South. The truth of the matter is this :
the Radical leaders have found that un-Oies-
the strong current which ha. set in
against them be tht-ck-d. utter a' d com
plete defeat will overtake them in 1S72.
Theytnow know that wiih all their nanip
niation of the South, that they can no
lunger control, and that they must again
reconstruct -or see the power pass from
their hands for all future time. Hence this
late legislation by Congress and the ap
pointment of the "Outrage Committee.'"
The Radicals are showing that their pro
fessions :or peace were falso and hypocrit
ical, and they seek to create another dis
turbance iu order that, they may longer
letain their power. The leaders, Duller
and others declared before the meeting
of Congress, that, unless the Republican
party would inaugurate a war with E ag
1 .ud. its leave of power was at an end.
this was probably thought to be of
too much expense an 1 besides it might
not have proved very pleasant, and .1 e
nejet step was to create the disturbances
in the South, which were to be carried out
by the sea.! la wags who were recently cast
roin power. Congress has made system
atic war upon the Southern States ; it has
violated without scruple the rights of per
sonal liberty; it has abandoned the land
marks of constitutional authority when
ever necessary to the success of its plans ;
it has incited civil strife by its oppressions;
ftl has (pest ticted the free exeicise of the
franchise and proscribed American citizens
for opinion's sake. In all this mischief
and much more, with which the country
is but loo familiar, it has been efficiently
a'ded by the President as leader of the
Klan. They have no other motive in this
but to retain power, and if they can suc
ceed in Iheir d irk and d irmnble designs,
O will be successful in 1S72. But we appre
hend that the people w ill not be so easily
deceived They promised them peace ;
yet we find they are creating a new reign
of terror, and instead of fuifrling their
promise, Ihey are further di- rganVng

noble sentiment more outrageously abused

Read It.--We publish this week, on
our outside, a very interesting minority
report from the -'Congressional Outrage
Committee." Though the document is
lensrihy, U will amply repay a careful
vt. vjadtng.- :
The advent into the State of one hun
dred to two hundred voters by each week
ly steamer, three quarters of whom are
Republicans, may serve as a gentle no
lice to Price's rebels, to swamp and school
land rings and to Democratic grabbers of
all degrees who have been revelling in
spoils lor some time, that thty may as
wdl be getting irady to wind up their
bu.-iness. Oregon henceforth will be a
Republican State. Oregunian.
A similar notice, with very little devia
tion, may be lound in the Oregonhin about
three years ago. The fact of the matter
is. a large majority of the people who are
seeking homes in t his Siate are Democrats.
We know of no greater swindlers than the
Radicals were while they were in. power
in this Slate. They took possession of the
State Government in 18H2 with $4 f 0 )t)
gold coin in the trea-ury. and no county
in the States, unless it were Mtiltnom.iii.
had . been taxed . more than eight mills.
During Radical rule, no county tax, -for
county, sch ol and S'ate purposes was
less than fifteen, and some as high as
twenty mills on the dollar. Yet the State
was turned over to th" Democracy last
September, in debt thousands of dollars.
The profligacy and thievery of the Radi"
cals is too fresh in the menv.iry of the
people for them to trust tin- State admin
istration in their hands soon again. As
to the charge that the Democracy have
been revelling in plunder, ill becomes the
Orajanhux to make it. It has been .scarce
ly eight mouths since the party came into
power, ami the lands which were diverted
were voted away by the aid of five Re
publican members, and were given to
Dave Thompson, and B. Goldsmith, both
leaders in ihe Rtdical ranks, and three
Democrats. There is as much disapprov
al in the Democratic party of this appro
priation as in the Republican, and it is
generally condemned by the party, and
when the next elect ien takes place, those
who voted with the Radicals in this mat
ter will receive their reward. The peo
ple will right this matter in proper time,
and that without the aid of the Orfonian.
The Democratic administration, since its
accession to power, has performed its duty
for the best, interest of the people, and le
lore the next general dec ion takes place,
it will be able lo present such a sUUe of
a.fairs that it will be a matter of surprise
how the people ever came to trust the
R id cals in power, and will be able to
I r.ive wholesale corruption and dishonesty
against the party which has retired for all
time to come in Oregon. The record is
being made up for the Radical party, and
the extent ol its dishonesty and profligacy
will be made known in due time, and the
Lock Swindle." will be insignificant in
comparison to thus-; perpetrated by the
Radicals during ihe past eight years.

A Significant Admission.
From the S. F. Examiner.
The Democrats in Congress bare been
doing good service in exposing the true
character of the perjured testimony by
which the Radical usurpers are seeking
to manulacture a public sentiment to
justify them in disorganizing the Southern
Slates and trampling upon the liberties ot
their people. Never was their laid bare
so damnable and atrocious a conspiracy
against tree government as that involved
in this so called Ku Klux legislation, h
is a deliberate insult to the people of this
country, whose demands for revenue re
form, a reduction of taxation, the a abo
iiiioti of thieving proiective tariffs and
.co-rection of abides generally, are thu
met by the semi-declaration o! waragains;
the South, predicated upon falsehoods as
black as the hearts of the thieving scalla
wags and carpet-baggers who originated
them.
One remarkable tact connected will
these alleged Outrages was brought ou
most conspicuously in the Senate upon thi
introduction ol Sherman's resolution. Tb.s
j resolution recited in so man- words tha.
in i be eleven -rebel States anarchy and
lawlessnes prevailed that armed bodies
ol men Iroin the Confederate armies bid
defiance to S:ae authoiity. and that there
w is no protection for "loyal" people in
person or property. It so happens that
the State ol Virginia has a Radical and a
Conservative. Senator upon the floor
Lewis and Johns'on. They boih prompt
Iv rose and pro'esed that so far as their
State was concerned ihe recita ion was
urerly false. -Virginia never enjoyed
moie tranquility ih in, at this time, and
never were the laws more rigidly enforced,
or was order better maintained. This
Sherman was compelled to admit, and
stated that Virginia was an exception.
Now see w hat an admission was here.
Virginia is ihe only Southern State which
was reconstructed under Democratic aus
pices, ami came into the Union under Ihe
control oi a Democratic home administra
tion. The carpet-baggers, and Radical
thieves generally, which pri r o that
time had kept, the people in hot water,
were completely "Cleaned out" at the elec
tion two ears ago. The people elected
an honest, s raigh' forward Democratic
Governor, and a Legislature in harmony
with him. and the consequence is that
Virginia fas been ever since a model
S ate. We hear ol no Ku-Klux Klaus
there, or outrages upon persons and prop
erty. What emphatic reiutatioii is this of
the" infamous assertion of the opposition,
that the iriumph of Democracy means
cAil strife and social disorder! Virginia
is the only recons' meted State where the
Democrats have had corurol since her ad
mission to the Union, and she is the only
one. according to Radical testimony,
which is well governed.
And ibis, at last, is the only hope for the
South. As fast as these S ates pass Iroin
the control of Radical thieves into the
hands of ihe Democrats order and thrift
follow as a natural consequence. Since
the last election we hear no more accounts
oi Ku Klux ravages in North Carolina.
All the tesiiuiony of the Outrage Commit
tee relates to miners antedating that
per o l, and under the reign of the infa
mous Hol-leti. Alabama has rece.itly
passed under Democratic control and the
eil'ect is at once apparent. Governor
Lindsay has recently been on a visit to
New York and explained how these "out
rages"' were manufactured. "The fact is."
said he. ihe adventurers who went there
and obtained power and position through
the instrumentality of the army have been
tarown overboaid by the people, ami now
return home ibscoinli ed. They have the
ear of tlie administration, and ihey return
io Wasl button w.th false reports and state
merits. T.i-y kn w ihtt their power in
tin- South is gone forever, and they at
t m nt to m .ike mart i s of themselves in
(inter lo secure positions under the Fed
et al Govcrnnii nt. Wi 1 ird Wanou- j,- one
of liiii class, and yet Warner is one of Sen
ator S ewat t's m ode! statesmen probably
because Stewart could u-e him.
i he Governor recited a case where a
carpet-bagger, run out, of Georgia for cotn
nii'oing an outrage upi n his own niece, took
up his quarters, among a number ol ne
groes employed by an old gentleman in
J-Jini -re cotiuiy. a id, after living oil' the
negroes for nioriihs, commenced trying to
put mischief into their heads. The old
eentleman waited upon the wretch at the
uegio quarters and ordered him to leave
his premise-, whereupon the assassin made
at tnm wi h a knife, and in return received
a severe caning from the vigorous old
farmer. A great excitement was created
by ih:s alleged frightful outrage, and the
mailer was reported to Congress as a ter
rible case. Governor Lindsay sent his
Private Secretary to in ves ig ite the mat
ter thoroughly, aad the fon-g dug is the
substance of his report." Toe Governor
further says:
lie old gentlem in quietly gave him -elf
up 'o the officers and gave bail lo appear
i nd answer to any charge that might be
brought against hitn. A proposi.ion was
made to settle the matter by paying the
costs, but this he re!u-ed to do. ami leaves
the Courts to dee'de. This is about the
amount of ihe Ku Klux outrage in E more
county. As I I ave said before, tin s re
ports are carried to Washington by men
who have last their power in the South,
and make marly rs ot themselves for the
purpose of getiing positions under the
Government, ft" a criminal is mobbed in
the S nith, it is- blazoned as a terrible Ku
Klux outrage, and the whole people of
the S a'e are heiied ami vilified. Such is
the ievi ugeof the men who have lost, their
power- I here. If a horse thief is caught
and hung by disguised citizens or Vtgi
lance Committees in Nevada or elsew here,
we hear nothing oi Kn Klux in connection
wish it.
The Administration is.su. d orders to the
clerks in departments at Washington to
vob a Ihe district election for delegate
to Congress. These men are ordered,
whenever it is necessary, lo go to their
homes in Ihe States and vote. The gov
ernment thus forces them to vote twice.
It makes no difference with Grant, though,
so I'nev always vote the Radical ticket as
they are bidden.

Our Radical friends have much to say
about the "theiving Litigant bill." We
this week mule out two bills for SI 1 each,
which would have been SDi 5J under
our former rates of charges, and one for
50 50, which would have been $11.
Re fore the passage of the litigant bill, we
set our advertisements in minion and
charged $2 50 for the first insertion, and
51 for each subsequent insertion. Now
we get the same price but are required to
set them in nonpareil, a siz-j smaller type,
and where an advertisement fo'tnally
m ide two squres it now generrally makes,
but one, and also where it in ide three, it
comes within two. Our Radical friends
are welcome to all the benefit the Litigant
Act is to us. We lest in many cases one
half, and as a general thing one-third
on all legal advertising. Our legal
advertising rates wen; the same as those
of our Republican predecessor, and were
less than any other country paper in the
Sia'.e all charging S3 per square for the
fi, st insertion as may be seen even now
by referring to iheir terms.

Chicago. Mja" 1. A 1'ribune Washing
ton correspondent telegraph as follows :
-Discredit having been tbro-vu on the
"Slatehr.'tit 1ft tbo.se dispatches to the effect
that Secretary Fish would resign about
tbe first of June, it may be as well to af
firm that information came from the Slate
Depart merit in such a way as to place the
tact beyond a doubt. The Secretary has
already twice tendered bis resignation, it
being withdrawn in the last instatfee at
the request of the President, with a dis
tinct understanding that after the labors
of tbe Joint High Commission shall be fin
ished there shall be no further objections
ur ged. As a personal favor the Secretary
has continued to occupy his present posi
tion up to this time, but will positively
ios.st. on going out by tbe first of June, no
matier what action the Senate takes with
regard to the treaty submked by tbe Joint
High Commission."
Washing rox. May 1. Justice Clifford
read the brief and papers in the legal
tender Cases of Knox vs. Lee. and Parker
vs. Davis Ballows. In these two cases
were two questions heretofore directed to
be argued, viz : First Is tbe act ol Con
gress Known as the Legal Vender Act.
constitutional as to contracts made beloii;
its passage '! Second Is it valid as appli
cable in transactions since its passage'
The questions have been considered by
the (Joint, and both decided in the affirm
ative, the decree of the Supreme Judicial
Court of Mi-sachusetts in the case oi
Parker vs. Davis is therefore affirmed, and
the Judgment of the Circuit Court of tbe
TTniied Slates of the Western District of
Texas is also affirmed. In the case of
Dunning against Sears and others, p-om
the Supreme Court of Michigan, contracts
were tor delivery of a specified weight, of
gtdd removeable as coined money, rne
Court below held that they were dis
charged by payment of treasury notes
equivalent in market value to the value
ot coined money of the stipulated weight
of pure gold. This Court reversed thai
judgment, holding that it should have
been entered In' coined dollars and parts
of dollars.
There was a large number of members
of the bar present at the Supreme Court
Chamber to-day, a it was known tba' tbe
Court would announce many opinions
prepared during the week's recess, pre
vious to adjourning until the Kith ol
October next. All the Judges were on
the bench except Justice Nelson. The
Chief Justice retired at about 2 o'clock.
Notes of opinions were announced at 3
o'clock. The Chief Justice, with Associ
ate Justices Nelson. Clifford and Field,
dissented from tbe majority of the Court
iiiioti both propositions and the result,
bidding that the act of Congress, so far as
applicable to contracts made before the
passage, is fep:ignant, to the Constitution,
and void, and also that it is repugnant to
the Constituiion, and void, so far as ap
plicable to contracts made since its pass
age. New Yokk. May 2. A Washington spe
cial g iys ! Notwithstanding the secrecy
members of the Joint High Cimmssion
have professed ih regard to points of the
t'-eaty negotiations, there is no doubt it
provides for the leeogni'ioti of claims ot
Englishmen for damages during our civil
war ; that money compensation wiil be
given for u-e of the Canadian fishing
grounds ; that navigation ot tbe St Law
rence will be free to our vessels ; also,
navigation of Canadian canals being
bound only to pay toll. The San Juan
boundary question is not yet fully settled.
We shall prob ibly get aU we claim in that
direction. Tbe close reliceri'M displayed
by Earl De Gray and Iviglisli members, is
not so strictly itiaiuoiitied by oar own
shit, if ur correspondent says prominent
points of treaty aiv that cur demands tor
indemnity lor depredations by the Ala
bama, are coneeeded ; Englishmen in this
country w ho suffered by our civil war au
to be indemnified ; also. I;t:r fishermen to
have tbe privilege of resuming of fishing
on payment of a certain sum as compensa
tion therefor by the United Stales. It
should be remembered, however, that
damages to Englishmen are estimated at
sotiH oiii.'.o ) a.O.) ) more than o'.ir estimate
ol damages by ihe Alabami.

ation leads to the belief that it is the in
tension of tin Germans to restore the Re

iti the event of the Versailles authorities
not being able to enf rce their authority.

the fort, has been mined, and that, when the
Versailles troops enter it it is lo blown
up.

New York. May 3 A dispatch from
Versailles. Tuesday evening, says alter
hoisting the w hile ll ig oti Fort fssy the
insurgents hauled it down. They will
soon s mender. The same fate will soon
befall forts Montrouge and Vaiivtes. Ros

considered a much better officer.
At the Pont du Jour the insurgent
tried to erect a citadel, b it Fort Valei ien
tinew six forty pound shells a minute and
totally destroyed the work.
Spies report 3 ) (t!)t) Nationals ready to
support the Versaillists troops, but only
when Ihey enter P. iris. Tho- anger of the
troops against, the insurgents is inconceiv
able. Our troops refuse quarter, and it is
useless for officers to urge mercy.
The CoxxKCTiorr Elkciion. An East
ern exchange, iti speaking of the Connec

patronage, which necessarily exercises
large influence in so clt.s.dy a balanced
State, was openly and unscrupulously
exerted in behalf of the Radical ticket,
while immense supplies of the sinews iff
war'" were drawn from ihe Custom-house
and other rich o!li ;es in New York, and
used with effect upon the floating vote.

In spue of all this combination of fortui
