the $ni)tpribent SATURDAY. ."... CT. 26. 1878 BE CONSISTENT. The (hegonian and Portland Standard were the principal? in the organization of the State Pre9j .Association. The purpose of such organization, as an stated in .-. . i. 1 ... J 1...! . . ... "pigijify aud purity Oregon Journalism," and us "poor conn try cu-iii8" paid oar money to help a good cauce. Now the Oregonian man is cnlhug the Standard man a perjurer, a.id tiie Standard man ia speaking of the Oreqonian man as a thier. We do nt like such talk attcr the promises made by the pub lisher of t-ach journal represent ed: it fchowg that the leading spirits are b..d ones, since good Bpms would not show fruch bad results; ami imw we ask in good faith if. the Urvs Association mut not prove a humb'ig when it-a prune ministers set Mich bad example? W had hoped for something better; wv thought the association woul'J tause men to arguw a dif. ference of opinion without de sceiidiog to the low depth of a Jirsy blackguard m the hereafter; we paid our initiation fees in '.. good faith, and we thought all whom we met in the parlor of the Chemeketa hotel were honorable men; but it seems a word given with some of them was bat as an idle bVeath spent, and the Asso cia'ion must bo degraded for such reasoa instead of becoming dig- mfied. . For oar part tre had faithfully promised, and intended to keep the promise we made. Wo shall do this much yet if the Standard and Oregmian do not compel us to believe that we were hasty in our resolye, and foolish ia pledging -good faith to those who did and do not noj know1 the value of an honest man's word. City of Glasgow Bank. The City of Glasgow Bank, which closed its doors recently, w:ia apparently a solvent concern. It held 050,000,000 on deposit, and circulated about 3,250,000 in bank notes. Its stock was at a premium, and its general credit was unimpaired almost dp to Tuesday evening, when, from lack of aid Irora other banks, it felt bound to suspend. In view of these circumstances, the failure must give a rnde shock to mer cantile credit in Scotland, where the banks pay interest on depos it, and nearly every man dends them his spare money. The cause ot the crush was the same old sto rylending money ou bad secu rity. There may have been an utter lack ot judgment and an ar dent hii3t for speculation on the part ot the manager)-, but it is more probable that they tried to htlp along merchants and niann iacturera in the hope ot better times, and thus became every day more deeply involved. The Superintendent. T" tlie surprise ot all Governor Tayor baa appointed A Bush, banker, Salem, to the office ot Superintendent .ot the Penitenti ary, and W. P. Miller warden. Thoso who thought they knew, and expected wueL from the Gov ernor on accouut of locality, are disappointed somewhat, and with out reasons tor the choice we are at a 1ois' to understand the Gov ernor's motive. It seem?, alter all, Douglas coun'y amounts to noth ing in the sight of those who j should give her wishes a respect ful coiim Jeration. V It 48, we think now definitely settled that the appointment of Bush U but tem porary, and that Miller in the end will become Superintendent. Notwitnstdndmg tho desola- tions of the tropical scourge at .New Orleans, she has received and marketed l,b89,483 bales of cotton or the year ending - Aug. 31st. This is nearly 300,000 mnrA , bales hen arm marketed in 1877. ' SUM"- """'Sl SUPREME COURT. The Supreme Court law, as passed by the Tat6 Legiclatare, provides tor the election ot three Justices ot the Court named, on the first Monday in June, 1880, whose terms ot office shall com mence on the first Monday of Ju ly following. One of the Justices shall be elected tor a term of six years, oue for four years, and one for two years, the allotment of terms to be made by the Justices themselves, who shall "pull straws" for the longest and next longest term ; and thereafter a Justice is to be elected at every general electiou held. The law also provide for the election ot fie Circuit Judges on the first Monday in Jane, 1880, and they shall hold offise for six years. I The salaries ot the Judges ot both courts, are fixed at $2,000 per annum for each, payable quar terly, and nothing more. Until the election occurs in 1880 Judges ot both Supreme and Circuit Courts are to hold office by virtue of appointment from Governor Thayer. The Governor has appointed Supreme Judges, Hons. James K. Kelly, P. P. Prim and R. P. Boise, and these gentlemen will hold office f r two years or ly. In a circular issued by the Post Office Department it is pro vided that where through inad vertance unmailahle matter -hall reach the office of destination, ,t sIih'.I be delivered to the party to whom addressed without any ad ditional charge for postage .be vond what would be due if the same were mailable matter of the third class; but postmasters ure requested to ascertain tr tn the addresses of such pickugeR the names and addresses ot the Benders and report the same to Third Assistant Postmaster Gen eral. The responsibility is thus fastened upon the postmaster who receives and forwards the unmailable matter. .The total receipts tor the three months ending September 30, which terminated the fiscal,quar ter, were 74.845,856, which is an increase of about $1,500,000, compared with the corresponding quarter of last yar. The custos mary receipts show an ncrease ot about $2,000,000 over the first qaarter of last year, and the re ceipts from internal revenue about $1,000,000. The miscellaneous receipts tell oft about $500,000. Les Mondes, of Pans, says there is a terre.stial globe in the Jesuite library of the Lvons Lvceum which is 170 year old. containing in great detail, the cn riona 6ystem of African lakes and rivers which the English and American travelers have lately rediscovered. : The globe h six teet in divmeter, and an inscips tion near the north pole states that it was made in 3801, by F. F. Bonoventure and Gregoire, Bros, ot the Third order ot St. F rancis. lev. Dr. Fowler is the man who is down on newspapers, ard nays they can never he relied on to aid in any moral leform. The doctor Bomehow seems to fail to rematuber the amount ot clerical Lwroiignesa which the newspapers have phowri up in the last tour year. Let the Itev. Fowler brush op. ' With nearly $100,000,000 in legal terde'8 in actual control -f of the Treasury, and with u coin reserve of over ;$17G,000,000, it must be plain to every candid rait'd that, without any .further preparation wiiatever, the Govern ment can fulfill its obligations and redeem its outstanding de mand note'on and after January 1 next. A man may be a riotous old patri 't on election 'day and swear that the country is goiug to the dogs unless his party wins; bu if he loses, he is more than apt to come up in the morning and say that the result was a matter of no importance, as no principle was involved. Barney Morau, who recently died in an Irish workhouse at the age ot nearly one hundred years, inst before his death confessed that he was the man who exe cuted Robert Emraett. Ilad this been known, , his lite for sixty vears would have been safe nos 0 where in Ireland. Gratitude never kills people. LET THERE BE RESPONSIBILITY. The New York Tribune has commenced the systematic expos ure of frauds on the Democratic side, "occurring in the last Presi dential election.' The efforts of that paper should redound to its credit, as it is engaged in a work ot national benefit and natioual interest. A thorough ventilation of the corrupt schemes, which were devised by the leaders of both parties in order to secure success, is demanded by the American people. Au exposure thorough and systematic, puch as the Tribune has commenced, ."-will have a wholesome effect upon the politics ol the nation. The want ot on r government to day is greater morality. When party leaders have no moral responsibil ity to Gd or man, they have then reached the lowest depth or moral depravity. When politicians are taught that there is a responsibil ity attached, to oir acts, which no' device cau avoid, however ingeniously covered up may ' be their crimes and dark deeds, there will bo ' less corrup tion the frauds that the Tribune is exposing were buried &o deep- by the perpetrators that they never dreamed of the possibility ot exposure, Out the ingenuity and the, untiring energy of the American pies have penetrated through thn surrounding d trkness aud thro'cri a flood ot light up-ri concealed transactions of 1876 It is no pleustint sight for the American people to look upon; th only satisfaction attached to this fearful expo-itiou is in the hnowieoije umt it may nave u good efteet in future Tresiaeiitial elections. This is what we want. When men l -am that their dark deeds are eure to be exposed and themselves punished to the .'ull extent ot their crimes, they Will hesitate about engaging in any nefarious business. -Now that the exposure of crime aud fraud has been commenced, we hope it will be thorough and penetrating. The brand ot guilt should be placed upon everyman in the nation who shail be found to nave engaged m matters in volving political enmee and dis honor. Such investigation should touch in its out-reach, every party- Republican and Democrat icand drag every guilty man from the position to which his crimes may have elevated him. The Potrer committee in its search for fraud aud crime in the Res publican party has fallen far short fits duty, when it refused to re view both sides ot the 'question, and now private enterprise has opened the investigatiot where the committee refused to act. There is vast corruption on both sides and anj attempt t conceal is bound to react upon that par y which does the whitewashing. The pec.plc will sustain every ef fort the press makes in the sys tematic. exposure ot crime. They will also be as swift in their con demnation of investigations not to .promote public purity, bat to manufacture political capital. Let the Tribune continue its noble work, and that paper will find support in all classes of citizens. Gram Possibilities. The possibilities ot the yield ot wheat have not yet been ascer tained. The reported production of 40 to 50 iusheh per acre looks like a pretty lare tstory to most of our farmers. W hat, then, will they say to a yie'd ot 84 bushels, as reported in England? The whent v. as cultivated like corn, with a hoe. The seed was plant ed in drills , one foot apart and tour inches apart in the rows. The ppaces between the drill rows were carefully cultivated until the plants had attained sufficient growth tojnteiteru with the work. The result was eighty four bush els per acre. Another experi ment with rows six inches apart and four inches apart in rows, resulted in a yield of sixty-nine bushels per acre. Those who think fanning is a kind of hum drum occupation with no chance for intellectual effort will do vell to try their intellects iu deviainsj means .to secure these results in wheat glowing. The wheelbarrow man is now rapidly neanng San Francisco, and is certain to win his wager of $2,000. Farmers' and Mechanics' Fair fc fetill in session at Portland and from the published account is an interesting exposition and will greatly benefit Oregon. V Be true to your friends though the heavens fall. ANOTHER MURDER. A correspondent writing trom PortTownsend under date of 20th gives the following account of the Scow Bay tragedy to the Tribune : This afternoon news reached here to the effect that a man and wife residing on a farm at Scow Bay, opposite this city, had been mur dered. The fact was made known to the coroner, who impanneled a jury and started for the scene of the horrible crime. The party re turned this evening at 9:15 o'clock with two small boats con taining the dead bodies. The man was found iu the stable near thi cow, which, it is supposed ho was preparing to milk, ; with a bul 'et hole in his head. The wo man was fouud lyit'jr on the ground just outsids the house ana as blood wa ton nd on the fir oi, it is conjectured that she was shot in the house and started to run to her hueband at the barn, when she was overtakeu by the assassin, who cut her throat from ear to ear. Two 6mall children were found in the house the eldest about two ar;d a half yeart of age and the other six months. They had bt-tn about-36 bouts jyithout food. Nothing seemed to be disturbed in or j.bout the the premises, and it cannot he imagined what promoted the mur der. Some venture the assemon that -a he v. as saving and always carrit-d a considerable a.nouut ot money about his person the man was murdered and robbed, and afterward, to prevent a clew, the a.-saesm murdered the woman. TIk- victim was an luofl'eu-iivf man, and it is hardly probable that the crime was perpetrated torough any malice or iltfeelmg. lie w&s aged about 40 and his wife to bout 25. The affectionate husbana al ways takes oft ins boots in the hall when be comes home late at night that the slumber of inno cence may cot be disturbed. Sankey has sailed tor England Moody is moody.
