driflecj and full f Jeaforjsiy,. came
to" their troTk, it was in a mnn
tfef to J mil Cite that, fh& yery ground
pver wfneh thej walked was quicksand.
b& first fcixsTBressv of importance, was
a Dxrtiow toade the late resolutions
of the State of Iowa passed by a State
Keprablicao Convention, after much
8 paring and plain talk the resolutions
vcre akpted,whicbanj a solecism per se,
aod hich in effect, first set up a mnn
of straw who the fraraers- call the
ad iaioist ration, aud in whicn they
eclate unbounded confidence, and then
fl though highly digested with what
hey had done, and discovering that
their creature . had fallen from his
prinxeral state through the allurments
of ths serp-cnt, they kick him orer,
ani whilo stanipiug upon his bloated
carcus, they declare him the most
corrupt cuss ia existence and ought to
bo annihihted.
During the discussion of the resoles
tions, Case, of Buenavista, in an able
speech denounced the back pr;y steal,
salary-grab, Grant od all, this de
sunciation was backed up by arguments
unswerable, by Lafolletfe and others,
but before it proceeded tar, the hot
blood of the opposition jraa aroused,
and the ticeserver, aod emporizing
portion of the convention came to their
feet, Smith, of Uuenavista, leading the
van, declared that (Jrant was not in
fault for signing the big steal bill, for
the reason that he as President of the
jJnited States, had no power to veto
any act oi Congress, no matter
now eorrapt it might be, unless
ho could put it on grounds purely
unconstitutional, and this measure
being within the constitutional copo of
Congressional power, could not le
vetoed. Tljis argument was attempted
i bo braced up by the bflance of the
re id and butter brigade, by logic
which would nauseate the mind of a
man of integrity and sense, and finally
in order to demonstrate to the i-orld in
general, and Oregon in .particular that,
the convention was in a "perturbed'
state, some honest member ' offered a
resolution condemning the unlawful and
disgraceful acts of our late Senator M ilch
elljCommitted by reason of 'youthtul
indiscretion," anl it was tabled instant'
er. A resolution was offered declaring
that, the man who would wilfully
practice bigamy in Oregon, was fit only
be a mormon, arid was also tabled
with a vim. The convention
finally
and adjourned still 'perturbed." We
mppohe the whole proceedings of thin
convention is what miht bo called,
V It-
political neutralizing.

Thero has been a great deal said
about the costs to tho county of the
, " Whitley cases" and wo doubt not but
what certain bucholio individuals hnvo
derived great satisfaction from ventur
ing their vjrteous (!) specn in regard
to the tnatter, bu does anyone raise the
cry of economy when a few ouo horse
speculators and polititions gctto gather
and"wool gather" our County Court and
work through an appropiation of 3800,
that will only benefit at the very best
about fifty men in tho county? The
men that were chiefly instrumental in
getting the appropriation out of the tax
payers pockety, do not pay 10 cts. in
taxes in ten years. '
' Farmers look into this young "Tarn
many Tiny," and seo to it, that such
men hereafter addorn their Home
firesides, as we havo enough lejtka to
lool after without being directly robbfl.
i is a bad precedent to establish, this
thing ot appropriating the public men.

T1IC TIGER- WAGS HIS TA4i
The Bulletin, since- the County Con

courages,, and exhibits some oi the old,
and still patent powers' of the lit faday
tfttehell Dolpb ring This- Tiger wbo
ha bq fonjj, governed with un iron
hnnd and rod, the Republican party in
Oregon;, becomes very indignant over a
resolwtiott passed by a handful of free
nmencai citizen of Washington Coun
ty ra a regular Tlepnblicarv County
(TooveTtiony condemning. Senator
flftftefretf Hippie. The- resolution is
very rld m its- tone- and contains no
more- th3n any delegation of honest,
high- minded, mdependcofc men ought
to have said, m every Connty Conven
tio in- the State, and it should have
bsen said at the earliest possible
moment for the honor of the State, and
yet because one county in the State by
its representatives ia convention
assembled dared to proclaim the simple
truth, the tigey gets mad, ho gnashah
his teeth, he laabeth bis tail, and then,
as though unsatisfied, he growls out the
following threatening
warciug to
his
former worshipers :
Mr. Mitchell's faults and follies (to
call them by no harsher name) are
things of tho past. Malice and fatae
hood have exhausted themselves in
magnifying and misrepresenting them,
and adding fabricated particulars to' the
known facts. In spite ol all defutners,
he can nnd will sustain himself ia the
Senate. And mark the prediction : ll
a fight is made against him he will b
sustained by the Republican party of
Oregon through its State Convention,
the highest authority of the pnrty in
the State.
This must grind hard upon the
good sense of many honest Republicans,
but you must take it gentleman, or
with ns repudiate these corrupt
scoundrels who have fully ptvsesed
themselves of your organization.
What a princely stvle these ringiU's
exhibi t in governing their dupes, the
method is this: when the majority of
its members begin to show signs of
dissatisfaction, and talk of new orani
zations, they are at once directed by
their masters, to remain and correct
the evils of which they complain inside
tho party, not out of it, and when a
would be, obedient people undertake to'
.1 4 .
carry out tnc suggestions oi tries':
devils, and begin to denounce their
lecpption and corruption, they are
immcJintely threatened, if tkey preset
in that thiug, the open high handed
lawlessness of which they complain
shall be publicly sustaiucd ami main
tained in the next State Convention.
If Republicans will yield to this clamor
of tho ring in the above extract, in the
name of god, humanity, and ct mmou
dooency, lay no further claim to
political honesty and independcuc, but
remain at yot;r wonted wallowing in
the mire, and be content with licking,
as ever, your masters focf.

' If any one man shall bo stamped

any one person responsible above all
others for that measure, let those
preachers of . J righteousness shout
aloud and paro not, Thou art tho

must be thrown to the pack, let Presi
dent Grant be chosrn as the victim. It
is his right. He has earned the honor
of matrydom, He got the chief bone
fit of the bill, and he a'oue could have
defeated it, and he therefore is its beat
representative. It was a Republican
measure, pissed by Republican votes,
and approven by a Republican Presi

responsible for it as for any act they
may claim the credit ot parsing since
Lincoln was elected. Face the music,

They are in the same boat and so is
