I If w ords pi iluly and explicit used have tne'iulng. whit other meaning can bo at tributed to tint pTMngo ot the constitution I of Oregon which, alter design itlng the snl- 'nrlesot State ollleers of this State and of I tho .fudges of the .Supremo Court, rends as i follows: I "Viey flmll reenter nnftei ortvrquMte vhntet'r, fur the pi-rfiirmtnct nanj duties euniiecmt with ihrir i,;iHMreiji." If that piohlbltlou Is not plain, para mount and indisputable, as limiting our State ollleers to tho films named In tho Constitution, and In limiting our Judges to two thousand dollars a jear. what use have woids, -11111 wh it guarantee can tho pcoplo have tint I tws cm he undo eflcctlvo ? The Trainers of the Constitution knew that the Judges would hive to 1111161 their circuit-', and they undeniably Intended that their lull compensation should bo 2, (XX) per annum. It Is not probable that any Judges on one Supremo lleiich at the present time over in ide over two thousand dollars a year at his practice In this Statu. Each one of them hccriiuu nn eager candidate for the olllce, and then becomoas eager a lob byist lot it ralsoof saluy, and their con duit makes us remember that they labored with a know ledge tint they were, them selves, the iuterplelersof theCoiistHlillon, and th it from their opinion there was no 'nppc.il It Is not too much to suppose that the general iiiImi of ..dalles which incidentally was cll'cctcd at the lato -osloii was based on Iho fut that In their anxiety to secure to themselves the one thoiKind dollars per milium lnuo.t-o, the Judges could bu do peiided on to cnm-tiuo thu Constitution llbei-illy lornthers. o do not mean In say lint all salaries were high enough befou', or to oppose Ihe employment of private Sccictarlcs tor the inul huclthtr Immediately checked or it tuny bo expected to go on and know no Ic'.IMiuihlo bounds.

Ilo made soma such balls to satisfy his friends and when arrested wa found to Invo one lu his pocket ell wsoikcd with lullamablcs, all ready lor service the devil's service. So St. Clair was arraigned for trial and the prosecution proved his ott repeated confes sions and tho relating circumstances, and then rested. It looked a little ns it one other confession ol St. Clair's was all that was wanted to end the case, but tho ac cused had his lawyers and as the event proved he had his witnesses. The defence was complete, perfect and Incontestable, ns good and siilllclent wit nesses proved that the defendant was over In Washington Territory that day and days beforotli.it and d tys afterwards. Inflict the word or good citlens established that he could not hive been In Portland lor a week, or thereabout.-', in which week tint 'Jddtyor August was centrally situated. So wo read tint Mr. St. Clair was "honor ably nauiitted" tun! Hie point we would like to arrive at is, briefly, why wo have not "oino punishment to iullli-t for lying. Hero was a court put to great expense, Jurors anil witnesses taken away from their business, men summoned from Wash ington Territory to provo the alibi, nnd all this the conciueneo ot unmitigated anil reckless lying. Thfs man causes the better cl tss of citizens this Increase ot taxes, and does It with Impunity. Xay, more; ho is honorably dlschtrged" forsooth, nnd probthly Is considered rather a hero be cause he h is gained any amoilut of notori ety and so taken a pieiniiun as n liur. lal!IHIAA. It is tho duty ot the general government to gu ir-tutco to every State lu the Union n republican form of gov eminent. The State of Louisiana Ins becomo embroiled, and Ins siill'ereil nil tint n community well could from iccklcss coiriiptlou and politi cal usiirpiitioii, and has several times sent to the national capital to be doctored. It ins a form of government which Includes anarchy nnd threatens chaos. To call it truly republican hi form would bo tenlbly sarcastic, and one cannot allot d to say tint It Is not republican. It is simply rascally, but th it seems now-a-days to bo n highly repi.bllcan attribute tli it Is It ours Is a lepuhllcan government.

MKJIM OF KXI'KMIHIUHK. A wrltnr for tbn OrefiDiiian furnishes .mno v.,rv linnnrLtnt fiets relative to our State expenditures, which seem to have been compiled with great ctre and accu racy. Ho shows how the State Printing Ins been increased from an expenditure ol $4,307 M lu 18J0 to 13)2 to 23,000 00 for tho two years, 1S7J to 1S74. Tho business of ourStntolns very much increased since 1SU0, nnd wo can readily understand the oxpeu-H) for printing should greatly In crease, but wo did not imagine It had reached this figure Tho tariff of prices al lowed the SUtto Printer lu 1SU0-2 were much higher than at present, nnd tho In cre.io must lie duo to greater amount or work performed. Tho cost or keeping the Insitio for the two years, 1S72 and 187.1. Is given as $5'J,- 3!M 0.1 for the first, and f7,0Jl ID for the last. Over one fourth ol the State expeii - dlturo is for that purpose.

IIOHJI-AttOUM YNIIM. IN Till LEAD. The call Issued by tho Independent I County Convention which met at Kosc burg hist Saturday, shows that Douglas county maintains Its position as the leader of the Independent People's movement In Oivgou, nnd that Its Independent voters nro not nlrald to shoulder the great re pouslblllty or consigning tho old political ptrtlcs toobllyion. Tho action or tho pcoplo or Umpaua Valley is patriotic In tho highest degree. It must bo unsclllsli because It requires genulno nobility of character for men to renounce the prejudices or years to become free nnd Independent. The whole State has anxiously looked to tho Koscburg Convention for a solution ortho problem as to how the organization or tho people against the polltwlnus could bo ell'ected, and tho whole State will lion- ior Douglas county tor having cut tho Gor- dl.in knot. Wo unhesitatingly expect tho call from ! Douglas county to be responded to by eveiv precinct In Oregon. It will bo wel comed ns' men wolcomo good news. It will bo answered ns men answer n call to ! ngogucs may try to run it, but they will not succeed. Politicians may step to tho fiont, but they will soon fall to t no rear.
