Some cnmmcntai.ors upon the lab-Franco-Prussia war. n-ctnated "by motive Easily understood, have asserted, that the triumph of Prussia over Franc, was si victory of intelligence over ignorance the Earl of Granville, in England, is iv ported to have made use of a similar 're mark. . , The sophistry ot such asfnions ought to be too plain to deserve n ifie yet we find such gronndless opinion prevalent among thoHc people who ac 'cept the ideas or assertions ot scribblers for facts, mid pass -sentence without a qneethtti Upon any and all topics upon whkrh they chance to think, by simply adopting the fallacies of tho prulessiuiutl "BttlfTers, who presume to shape public sen timent without a reason, except fW cre dulity of the followers! To show how erroneous are the assertions of those .who Hay Vhat -Prussia 'succeeded by intel ligence and France lost by ignorance, let . us.comoare notes and refer to facts of history, known to all the reading part of mankind. When Napoleon the I. over ran all Europe with French armies, was t French intelligence that made them and liim victorious in a hundred battles ' Prussia and Austria have similar systems of schools and education and of course. are about equal in intelligence ; then was it Prussian intelligence that mule Pru-si.t victorious over Austria in lSbl. ? The Goths. Iluns and the savage hordes of the Nortli overthrew the classic empire of Rome, with all its elegance and refine meni ; was it. barbarian inlelhgenre that made the savage heathens victorious over the refined and educated Romans? Was !t American intelligence that gave Vis our independence in 177G and 'SI nnd victory in 1812 and rlt? Was our system of education and means of intelligence f up"erior to those of England in those days? The answers to these questions and a moment's reflect io a will prove at once that all such theories 'are groundless; skill in the use of weapons, a determina tion to conquer, and numbers, brute foreot succeeded as a general rule, though' " The race is riot ahviffs to the swift, nor the battle to the strong.' What motive the Earl qf Granville had in making siich a remark, we, o! course, cannot positively fptiak, but there are others, whose mo tives we can readily understand. Radical hevspapers promulgated this idea to flatter the German voters in the Unied States, as the fox praised the musical powers Of the crow, when he saw a prospect df spoilt. The crazy advocates of free S-hools" will, no doubt mint to educated Pr issta to trove th ti education makes men scientific and successful butc'ters. b t they will forget Alar.e. the Visgoth and Ghengis Kh in ! The colored troops fought nobly." so said our loyal" papers, during our late - unpleasantness ;" toas it their intelligence that caused theiu to light nobly"' ? Is if superior in'elli gence that -induces Grant and Cultures-: to supervise the eleC'ion in cities and to aid and protect by unwarrantable legislation the same intelligent ? (nigger) at 'he ex jtense of the U. S. . Treasury ? It seems strange that the tame papers, the same men and theorists, who one d iy proclaim that 44 knowledge is tower," will the nex day advocate the encoin agement ci heathen immigration and universal social nnd political equality without, regard to intelligence or education ' Jt is singular that the wildest fanatics on the sublet o " free schools" are in favor ot subjecting Americ-ur intelligence to the domination o; half civilized Chinese, unlettered nogroe fcnd mongrel barbarians generally J These theories are all humbugs, they have no foundation in facts ; then- authors ar. hypocrites and are only attempt imj to sei fheir sails to catch every breeze of po .n Par favor J A moment s reflection, as we Said before, will convince any rational being that there is no sincerity in the authors ol such' theories! The ideas ol '" cheap labor." free schools. social equality of races, projection, superior German intelligence, solicitude cboii school funds and the interest taken in re gard to universal education by many are promulgated by person., who. either do not consider the inconsistency of theii professions; by dupts. who see only . what they are shown and taught, or else by reckless adventures, who wish to line Otipon the ignot'ahce and credtdity of thost v'hose intelligence they so much prtttud to admire. President Giant has so gracefu'Iv thrown the whole an l)omin;o annexa tion matter upon the Senate, and left it for the people to decide and the Senate to act upon, that prejudice is disarmed and' the bitterness of Sunnier and the great hopes of James .K.. Kelly have together fallen to the ground. tyut'esuaut Yes, he has vorj' gracefully thrown ihe xliole matter on the Senate. Alter he found that his little speculation could not !3e carried though he imitated a swine, and now leaves the Radical Senate in a dileroma out of w Inch it cannot extricate itself vritb-oiri. either breaking up die Radi cal party or branding lire Pie-ident as a speculator in San Domingo-lots.

They don't take into consideration that this reduction V is made throrrgh- the forbearance of an ever-taxed people. The Government col lects two dollars, where it reduces the b r. debt one. The people deserve the credit for the reduction of the debt and by n0 means the Administration. o- Resignations.

The Uadical pajters of late have much to say about --accepting the siruaiion." If the Democracy were to meekly accept the situation brought about by the Radi cals. 1 at necessity would there be for lie organ iza ioti ? No. the Democrats do not rccept the situation, nor does the majority ef fife American people. Th; .rand change's which look place last fall. nd which are con-tinualiy faking place in he conn ry. are positive evidence that the eople do not accept thesituati brought .bout by the Radical usurpers. The ')einocrcy. however, propose lo let the eop!e change the situation by "the ballot, vviiieh was forced upon ibra at the poiti1 if the bayonet. The amendments fo vhich the Radicals desire ihe pledge o tie Democracy, were made by fraud and iorce. Not more that one-lourth of th .States ever accepted the situation as pm vided by the Constitution. The Southern Sta-'es were fotcd at the point of the bay onet. and many ot the Northern States ac cepted this situation through Legis'a titles which had been elected before the questiitn was submitted to the people. We will take the great State of Ohio. The Legislature which ratified the amendment was elected before the question caine be fore the public, and the following Legis lature, alter the 1 1th and 13th amendments were adopted by deception in that S:ate. was Democrat re. But We have a case in our own midst and need not. go away from home to show the frauds perpetrated by Radical officials to obtain the accept ance of the situation. The Legislature which was elected in IStit. long before these amendments were before the people, and further, when the Democracy charged in the campaign th'at it was the pro gramme of the Radicals to incratt into the Federal Coastitiuum the very laws which they have, they were told that it was false, that the Republican party had no desire to force negro suffrage on any State. 'The Oreijn-itimt at that time denied that this was the object and desire of its party. Rut Congress passed the amend ment after the Radicals succeded in car rying the State by their denial of their true intent, and no sooner had Congress pns-ed this infamy, than we find our truly loyal Governor calling the Legislature in Special session to adopt it. and the people never had a chanceeither to accept or re ject the infamous act. as it was most, posi itwiy denied in the campaign as a 113 part of the Radical programme. No more posi tive proof is needed that they did not en dorse the amendment than the fact that the very next. Legislature was Democratic, and more, the entire State went Demo cratie, but the peijury and rascality ot the Ri.dicul managers counted out the Democrats fiom thfir justly entitled places. I he j;opZ" have never accepted ihe situation, and the hope of the country is in the fact that they never ui;l. The 1 tws which our Radical Iriends wish us to accept, will Stand in all future history as disgraeelul monuments ot Radical rule, and become a terror to the people against ever trusting that patty again in power wnich could so far forget the duties they owed to the.r con ti 1 ry . No. the Demo cracy wili never "accept the situation.'' and the more' the people become acquaint ed with the infth of this matter, the more readdy I hey lull :nto -l,e ranks ol the i"nric racy . These uinehduioiits. protec tive tariil's usurpation, cot ru ption. annex ation and all ihe other damnable acts of I tie Rad.cil pa.ty will never be accepted as reai i'ies bv ihe people, and we need 00 belter .'Vld.-liCe than ihe expressed voice of the masses at the ballot box last f id.

Now he devotes about his entire time in his heavy" effort to prove (hat the Demo cracy wi.l take away the suffrage from the niggers should they get, into power.

Eng lish cm' and declared Jt-well and the rest of th- Uadrcil licket elected. This wa dvu by tAiiet yarty vwl. T The Lock Question. In the ITernhl ot the 5th inst.. we find a long ami labored article in justification of the Legislature for passing the west side lock bill. The principal grounds taken in the article are. that the P. T. Co. did not propose to construct similar locks to those ot tije,Villamette Lock Company; that their charges for passing boats were different, and that it provided for the pay ment of S125.U0U out of the interna, improvement fund during the course O; ihe work. To show that the Herald is misled in ihe whole matter, we here produce th. proceedings in the House oa the subjec oy which it will be seen that an injustic was committed, and. instead of the P. '1 Company's bill being different from ih. V illameite Lock Company's proposition die truth is, the P. T. Company propose.' 10 accept the west side bill for the sum ot oluS.O'JU. The bill was passed in connec ion with the Portland subsidy act. and wiih the aid of Radical votes. It is a well known fact that fJen Holladay tele graphed to Salem for two of the Multno mah county Representatives to vote tor this, bill, us it came from the Senate. ' Had they net done so, the subsidy bill would have been defeated. It was not our purpose- to have ever alluded to .this m ater again, but we cannot consent 10 allow certain parties to shoulder this iliiug on ihe Democratic tarty, and hav ing. heretofore opposed ihe west side kick bill, we feel it our duty to show that we were acting for the interest of the people. And as we believe a great pnllic wrong, has been committed, we protest against it being made a tarty matter. Following are the official proceedings pertinent to Uie subject, and we ask ihe reader to give tht m a careful considera tion. And we might as well here state that the P. T. Company had no bill befoie the Legislature after Thursday. Sept. tZ. as ii was iheii referred to a special Com mittee, which strangled it, and never allowed it to come back again 1 The hour of 'J o'clock having arrived, beiitg special order, Mr. McClain, chair iii.t.i of the committee 10 whuiii vv s re ferred S. R. No. 12, asked further lime to report. Mr. Olney moved that the committee" have until 2 o'clock P. M. The yeas and navs were demanded by Messrs. Ilaydeti and Helm. The motion was lost. eas 20: nays 23. So the committee were refused further time. Mr McUtain. chtiirm in of the committee, made a majority report: Your committee to whom was referred S. 15. No. 12. bog leave to report ihe same back w ith the following amendments : in Section 5. s rike out the words " net protits.' and insert gross proceeds." .Mr. Apperson. one of the committee on S. 1. No. 12. submitted ihe following minority report : I he undersigned, minority of the special committee, to whom was referred S. H. No 12. providing tor the consirueiion of locks ai the fails of ihe Willamette river, wotiid repoi t ',hat ail appointment was made for a rhecting of the committee, but up 10 a late hour the majority of the com mittee did not appear, and consequently no coulerence was held until This morning, when ll was agreed to ask for luiher t.me. The undersigned, as minority, would re port that a bt7i(i fide proposition has been submtuiiied by ihe Peop'e's Transporta tion Company, by bill (ll. 1J. No. 10;. pro posing to construct locks at ihe Willamette Fulls lor the sum of one hundred and twenty five thousand dollars, and give simple bonds for the pel I01 mace ot the woilc. 1 he minority ot your committee can see 110 jiisi reasons why litis proposi tion should be disregarded and a subsidy granted to another company for seventy live thousand dollars tijote than is asked or 1 oqnt ed. The minority of your committee would therefore recommend that the following amendments be adopted : 1st Amendment s Strike out the first part of the preamble to the second "whereas' and amend by inserting the following as' Slciion 1. 'J hat ihe Governor be and is hereby authoiized ami required to ad voriise lor sealed proposals lor the con struction ol locks at The falls ot the Wil lamette rhor. in accordance with the pro visions heremaf tor sei forth; and the com pany proposing to do Ihe Work for l tie least aim. nut ol money shall leceive the contract by entering into bonds lor its faithful completion, as hereinafter set Ion If. 2d' Amendment. Amend by striking out "the Willamette Falls. Canal and Lock Company'' wher ever it may ocourr in the bill, and insert such corporation as may receive the con tract.'' .Mr. Hare moved the adoption of the Amendment offered by the majority. The yeas and nays were 'hen dem inded by Me.-sts. Helm and Harden, and the motion was lost. ; jeas 20; nays. 24. (Messrs. En-hart. O Reagan and Whalley voting wiih Ihe majority.) Mr. Apperson called for the reading oi the report of the minority, and the peti titiii of ihe citizens ol Clackamas county, lemonsti attng against the passage ol the bill, both ol which were read Mir. Ap person moved ttie adoption of the amcud meni accompanying the minority report. Mr. Apperson having referred to Mr. Whalley " former speech, in which he pre ferred charges against Ihe members from Clackamas CottiiiV. as being Ittla ritonsl v lalse." Mr. Whalley demanded that the words ot Mr. Apperson be taken d jwn by Hie Cb-rk, and ihat he be i t quired to apologise. Tt'-e question being on the adoption ot the Minority report, t he roll was cal ed, and resulted hi ihe negative ; yeas. 11 ; nay s ;52. Mr. Ca I isle offered the following amend ment : Procidi'il. That a? ihe end of the ime designated when the State is audior i.i-d to take pos.-ession of said hicks, the State shall only pay said cotupany the value thereof in excess o' the whole amount paid by the Slate under the pro visions of llt't aet. and the whole atno'itr paid by the State under the provisions oi j this act shall be paid into the common . ... I fTL. L., 1 . scnooi num. Jtns veaa mm oi were demanded, and ihe amendment was lost ; yeas, 21 ; nays. 22. Mr. Dorris moved to amend section 4 by striking out two hundred thousand," ami inserting "one hundred and iweniy tie thousand." The yeas and nays were demanded, and the motion lost. Yeas. 17; nays. 2(t Mr. U'hitaker moved that the bill be onleted to a third reading now. which tnniou prevailed, and the bill was read a third time. I h question then being. shall the bill pass." The yeas and nay s were called and the bill passed! Yeas. 28; nays. 15. Three Republicans voting for the bill, and three Democrats agaiirsi it. Mr. McClain (who bad-voled for the bill) gave noiice that within three Kays he would make a iootin to reconsider the vote by which ihe bill passed. It will be seen from the above, that the Legislature refused to allow the Governor to let the contract to the lowest bidder; .and they refused to specify that the Statu would cuiy j) ay fur taw lucks the euia COURTESY OF BANCROFT LIBRARY, UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, over and above the f 200.000 of their value when tbe-State shill be authorized to take them; and they further relused to insert gross receipts in place of " net profits." It will also be seen the talk that the P. T. Company did not propose to con3tructsimilar locks to fhose of the Willamette Company, is simply bosh, us ihe a"bove proceedings show the minority report proposed to insert in this very bill he name of the P. T. Company in place f Willamette Lock Company. We differ i'rom both the Democratic papers, who aave championed this matter, and the Radicals. The Radical papers charg. fiat it was passed far the "bom fit jf parii ans. while the truth is. that without Dave t'hompson in the Senate, the west sid til. would never have" been passed, am te is Ihe leading Radical in this county ud has become rich on j11 s,ich I,,ck lags lrum Ihe Federal ami 1;lte ffovern ineuts, and we propose to hold him and his party equally responsible for this " public wrong."

The time ami attention of the Kadi cal leaders have been almost wholly dl tectetl to devising such legislation as will, in their' view, best pieseive their ascen dency, and no regard tor the wise re straints imposed by the Constitution checked .heir tvckiess and desperate reer. -.tie President oi t lie United States h s ca bas been form il'y announced as a candidate for re-election. T he declarations ot his sei tish supporters have boon echoed by a subsid.ed press, and ihe. distipline ol parly has aleidy made adhesion to his persona! fortunes the supreme test of po litical tealiy.

When the sad ex pcnciiee ol the last iwo years, so dtsaj.t pointing lo the hopes and generous couii deuce of the country, is considered, in connection with the violent utterances and harsh purposes of those who control the 1 resident's policy, it is n t surprising that the gravest apprehensions lor the future peace of the notion should be en tort ai net I. Ai the time when labor is depressed, and every material i iterest is palsied by oppressive laxaiion, the, pub.ic ofbs have boon multiplied beyond, all prece dent to serve as instruments in the per petuation of power. Partisanship is the o dy test applied to the distribution oi this vast patronage. Honesty, fitness and moral worth are openly discarded in fa Tor of truckling submission and dishonor able compliance ; hence enormous delal cations and wid . spread corruption have lot low i'd as the natural consequences of this pernicious system. Uy the official re tort of Ihe Secretary of the Treasury it appears that after the deduction of ail the proper credits many millions of dollars re main due from ox Clleetors of the inter nal revenue, and that no proper diligence has ever been used to collect ihetn. Retoi friers, in the revenue and fiscal sys.etns. which all experiences demons! rate to lie nece.-sary to a frugal attm nistrution of ihe Govetiiment. as a measure of relict to an overburdened people, have been persistently postponed or wiifuiiy fog lecied. Congress now adj turns without oven having attempted to reduce taxation or lo repeal the g. tiling impositions by which industry is crushed ami .impover ished. The Treasury is ovet llov. it'g. and an excess of eighty m l! ion dollars ot reve line is admitted; and yet, instead of some measure of present relief, a barren and debt-aye resolution is passed by the Sen ate to consider the tariff and excise sys tems hereafter, as if the history of broken pledges and pretended remedies furnished any better assurance for future legislation than experience has done in the past. Shipbuilding ami the carrying trade, once sources d' national pride ami pros perity, now languish under a crushimr load of taxation, ami nearly every other business interest is s ruggling without profit to maintain itself. Our agi tculiuralis s. while paying heavy taxes on all ihey consume, either to the Government or monopolists, find the trices for their own products so reduced that honest labor is denied its just rt'W'ciid and industry is prostrated by invidious disci iminaiior..
