C. 8olvvan. r ' - " 1 m , Vith this issue the epoblican un qrgoea a cbatige of editors', tat not, fiowever,ia apy essential is it the inteu. . ion for it to depart from the-, coarse, polctpcany speaking, whtoh is has pnr iced for the last year and a half. It is our purpose to conduct the Kepoblican on a tree independent Dasis in tne post strict sense of the word, we are not now, nor do we desigu to be under aaj obligation or favors to any party orclque whaterov tod we will ever endevor to tteer if.ar of that pj it', al areoa wherein we might subject our se'ves to party fesh; or what is still more to be avoided, the domination of political demagogues, The Republican will not advocate the election to any office or trust of any man, because he may oeiong to ims or mat party, uuless Jiq be capable, honest, and can show a good record for tempea&ce and morality. This we believe to be bur bounden duty in the present juncture of political affairs when corruption in every imag inable shape and form pervades and disgraces every department of onrgov rment, from the lowest to the highest office within the gift of the people. It is our fixed opinion that if wc wish to sec pur nation prosperous and happy; if we desire to have the glorious privileges and immunites which our forefathesr purchased and maintained by the ex penditure of so much blood and treasure j preserved and perpeuated; if we would live in the enjoyment of that liberty to carefully guarded by our republican institutions and hand dtwn these principles of freedom and independence intact 0 our posterity, tjhen we must frowa down corruption and political prostitution in whaler form and shade it may male its appearance; and we consider it the dnty of every person . . . - ... woo is a true lover or our tree inutu- tious to advocate the election ot not r, and support no person by his Tote who is not upright in character, spotless in reputation, and whose ability entirely unfits him for positions of office or trust. If the American people would make this rule their guideit', would uot be long ere the political field, which now constiutes on?, vast cesspool of in- iniquity would be purged of itsfi lthi- cess, and the now dark and muddy ' waters of politics would be made as clean and spotless as the beautiul mountain sir earn. We opine tlj.t untill the pe. pie do, consign to everlasting oblivion the crowd of political knaves and dem agogues whoso only aspirations are self aggrandizement, which now throng the tnni tsn ttrrafa nf nnr rwilltlrftl vnrld like so many half starved vultures over the carcass of their pntrified prey; notill they shall drive from our halls or legislation the throng ot whiskey teepped and tobacco-perfumed topers that now infests those sacred sanctums, and place in their stead men oi; worth, integrity, ility and temperance, we may look in vain with the hope of see ing our time honored principles of liber iy and freedom on a firm and lasting basis. It is our design to do -what is in our power to bring abouythis much needed political renovation and we de sire tba hearty cooperation of all those wfsV to gee ' truth honesty morality, and temperance, triumph over fraud, corruption and political dishonesty. Ye $tkU do our utmost to make the "Rannbli&a'n aibbrooeh and interesting to'taake f weh a paper la oo family can well afford without Veiog independent in politics,' iti' coluniDs wbieh would otherwise be davotcd' to tne discussion of political broils and cavils, will be filled witVthat which pertains mostly to the welfare and rb jjpesi of oar county. - TO CLARK'S ASH ON LAR IMPORTANT DECISION. We givo below the decision of, the Supreme Court of the United States in, the case of Lamb ta' Davenport construiugr a por of bur. Donation Law It Affirms f the decision of JCudgQ lawyer in that Qase, and holds firmly that contracts made by persons concerning their claim prior to the passsgo o the Dona tion Law are valid and binding not 1 ooly upon himself but upon his hairs, and that his patent afterwards acquired; whether issuing to-him or his heirs af ter his.dath eourcs to his grantee or to the person for whose benefit his Contracts were made. The Supreme Court of Oregon in, the Lafayette Town Site J jcase, decided fiat all contract made prior to tie passage of the Donation Law were ab solutely void, and; virtually gave that site tolthe heirs of Perkins after Perkins had- sold; it to the county of YamtUt and had encouraged others to invest their money in itas town proprty, and after he had recognized it as such foryeras This decision of the Supreme Court of the United States smacks strongly of justiee. and of course will reverse the Lafayejte Town Site case and prevent that large amonnt o! property now held by innocent parties in good faith and ror a valuable consideration, pa.aing rato the hands of the Perkins heirs. Justice Thank Heaven I Washington. Nov. 4In the Supreme Court to-day, in the case of Lamb vs Davenport, appealed from the United States Circuit Court for Oregon, it was held that contracts made by actual set tlers on public landa concerniug their possessory title and concerning titlo to be acquired in the future from the uni ted States are valid as between the par ties to the contracts, though ther,e Le at the tisae 1 no act ot ' Congress by hich title kaj be acquired, and though the "' Government ' is under no oblgations to rehear the claims of parties ia regard to title unless they are forbidden by some positive law The proTwioo of tho Oego'n Donutiop Act of 185Q. which forbids the future , . . ' sale of settlers interest until patent shall i?ue; so. far from invalidating such contracts made before its p irsae, raises a strong implication in favor ot their validity. Whether the husband or wife, who takes as survivor the share of the deceased under the donation act take it as purchaser or by inheritance, it 13 hetd that the coutracU of. the hus band concerning the title interest in ; part allotted to him made before th donation act was passed, are binding on the title which comes to his children by reason of parent issued if'er the death of husband and wue. I uo de cree is affirmed, .., , Boss Tweed i has fiually been convict ed of theft.and acateneed toscrve twelve vears in the county jail and pay a fine $12'000. This looks like business. It is an evidence of the fact that the people of Jew York have a law against steal ing, and also that nieD, no matter how high positions they may hold, cannot commit wholesale robbery without incurring the penalties of that law. N. York is certainly waking up to the facts that murderers and robbers should cot be allowed to perpetrate their damnable deeds and then stalk her streets with impunity. This conviction of Tweed will certainly go far toward putting an end to the high hauded robberies with which the city. of New York has been cursed within the past few years STATE JCTJSMS. Mr. L.
