Sonic light is beginning, says the Ex aminer, to dawn upon us touching the mo tives which operated to induce the pro clamation of war against South Carolina. When they come to be gifted, ten to one that there is some thieving scheme wrap ped up in all Grant's more important move?. Such was the ease, on the bigg est Radical authority, in regard to the San Domingo job. That nefarious busi ness was clearly shown by Senator Snm er to have been conceived in fraud and prosecuted in total disregard of the Con--sfitulion. A little squad or speculators. -cTiief among whom were some of Grants official household, had combined to make n, ood thing lor themselves, and they were aided in their operations Vy the President. Up to this date the navy ct the United States keeps watch and ward over Bacz, Grant's coconspirator in the dirty job. and by this aid alone the San Domingan President holds his place. We have little doubt, as we have before nlforrnted to show, but that Grant has A also connected himself with a thieving "ring" to get possession o the Morman property. These vile persecutions are prompted by no higher motives. The ob ject is to drive the Mormons from their hnmos find lh on . seize their farms and mines. Erigham Young, it is said, has al ready left, and we may next hear of a call for the faithful to strike their tents and emigrate to a new land of promise. And now comes a cine to this South Carolina business. The proclamation for martial law was dated in Washington on the day when Grant was in Maine. He delegated the issuing of it to some one of his understrappers. A dispatch to the Associated Press tells us of extraordinary rumors touching the over issue of South Carolina bonds by the thieving officials placed in power by Federal bayonets and illiterate negroes. There are suspicions that there has been such an over-issue as absolutely to endanger the solvency of the State. The Bank note Company of New York have printed bonds to the amount of twenty millions of dollars which have passed into the possession of the Financial Agent. The probabilities are that had this stupendous swindle come to liMit in the absence of Government soldiery an indignant and oppressed peo-rU- who for Years have been robbed to the point of desperation, would have risen np and hung their thieving oppressors. And so it became necessary to invoke the aid of Kaiser Giant. The State is thrown into disorder bv the nefarious proceedings nmlpr the Kti Klux bill, and Gov. Scott ri,i A Osi.-vin'T '-rials" enabled to bid defiance to a plundered and outraged peo nl Thus it is that while all the Radical press of the country have for months been .pnin-r on the trail of the New York Tammany thieves, the whole power of the Vncriil 'Government is loaned to cover un ilie villainy of and protect the South Carolina Kadieal official robbers. It re-m-iiTi t.i he peon whether this bond swin dle will be consnmated. If. as surmised a huge portion of them have passed to the possession of Grant's pets, the people rf tli-.it nnnressed and plundered State will have no redress, honesty. Such is Radical Wk Concvii. Says the N. Y. Globe, "While the citizens of this city are male ing earnest endeavors to bring to justice: those who have robbed the people, is it not a good opportunity for the Federal government to take immediate and vigor ous steps against all officials who have oVfr.-iuded the United States? There 0 should be a movement, by the Republican Administration at Washington along the whole line of fraud, embezzlement, de- falcarion. and stealing. Secretary Bout r.it in in foi-theominsr lecture in this uviit oi - - - C3 ci :ity; can give the people no greater satis action concerning the questions of to 1 dav than the assurance that so far as Ins branch of the government is concerned there hall be mi lmmeuaa'e prosccuuoi of all dishonest officials. In another col nnin we publish a paragraph in relation to the whereabouts of ex-Collector iaitey lie has rented a house with the American Minister at Montevideo. If this is a fact a requisition for his return to this country Pbou'.d be issued befr re twenty-tour lion and he should be brought to justice. O what use is it for the citizens of New York to make war upon a "ring.' arresting such n-.cn as Mayor Hall and V llltam M Tweed, so long "as the Federal Govern ment takes no notice of these men who rob the whole people r.f millions of do! lais ? All honest men. in Washington urn elsewheie. should prepare at once to move upon thieves and rogues." Skx.vtoh Pumkkov. Tho Chicog Times publishes some gir.vo charges against Senator Pomeroy of Kansas. It alleges that Mr. Pomeroy Laving fallen under the power of a counterfeiter from Ohio named Carman, by being detected in a criminal Unison with his wife, has not only paid Carman $G,t)'.)0 hush m;mey. but procured his appointment to office in the Pension uro4i at Washington, and also obtained places in the Interior Department for his two sons; while Mrs. Carman and another woman of similar character, named Ghant, were appointed on the solicitation of Sen ator Pomeroy to positions in the Bureau of Printing and Engraving. These charges were laid before the public about a month ago. and we have ever since ex pected some contradiction of them from Senator Pomeroy, but none has come, Governor Palmer of Illinois writes a "letter against tho persons who virtually subjected Chicago'to the operation of mil itary law after the great fire m that city He asks for a legal investigation and the punishment of those who did the wrong against the civil law of the State. He says Illinois is capable of protecting its own citizens and enforcing its ow n laws with proper dignity and through its own officers. F001-S. Some of the Radical papers appear to be happy over the thought that the Democracy will not nominate a candi date for the Presidency in 1S72 None but fools would make such an assertion and none but idiots would believe it. The 'Democracy will nominate, and that is not all. they will successfully elect their can didate against the present-taker, and blockhead who r now sits in the White House and disgraces the nation. A Bep-dl3Iic3.il Opinion, of Gen.- Grant Hon. Geo. . Julian, long a leading Republican member of Congress from Indiana, gives the following reasons why Grant should not be renominated by the Republican party : "Multitudes of Republicans are outrag ed by Grant's shameful official favorit ism for his own kindred, which has been publicly defended, and even lauded, by Senator Morton, who paraded his disgust ing sycophancy in his Louisville speech. ' Not less offensive to all honorable in stincts has been bis open acceptance of rich presents from men of wealth who have been paid back in lucrative and hon orable positions. Nothing could go furth er to debauch our politics utterly than such an example from the chief of the 1 nation. 'His lawless and unconstitutional acts in the San Domingo affair, and his organiz ed conspiracy to degrade Charles Sumner and to put Simon Camerom in his official place, 13 very far from the least of the reasons for not renominating him, if suc cess is desired ; to which might be added his exploits in the late "Gatling gun Con vention'" in the State of Louisiana. . "And, fr.ially, if a man is to be known by the company he keeps. Grant would have to be condemned under this rule, if no other objection could be urged. His intimate friends, companions and advisers are such men as Pomeroy, whose con science has long since ceased to perform its office, and whose public life has been a calamity to Kansas ; Simon Cameron whose political career has illustrated every phrase of audacity, knavery and corruption, and whose national reputation in these particulars is perfectly established and unchallenged ; and O. P. Morton, whose private character has been a con tinued defiance of decency, while in pub lic life he has been on nearly all sides of every question from the beginning of his career to the present time: mounting the greenback theory a few years since, and dismounting it the moment he thought it would not pay ; swinging around the cir cle with Andy Johnson in 18''...and swing- iig eack again when he found the swing went the wrong way ; denouncing Charles Sumner, and the Radicals in his famous I lichmond speech, and the next year eat- ig his own words and impudently taking the highest seat in the highest synagogue, while evincing in his whole public career a total lack of any honest intuition, or any heartfelt sympathy for the truth as a thing to be prized and maintained tor its own sake. These men are enough to damn a better man than Grant : and a thoroughly true man, fit to be President of the United States, would not select them as his most intimate confidential fi lends and advisers, and surrender to them the chief control ot public affair?, committed to him under the solemnities of an oath. A Harsh Picture- Col. Don Piatt, who seived during the war with so much credit that he was made P.rigadier General, and who now conducts the Washington CqnlcO, gives the following picture of the Secretary of the Treasury, and Reribrandt never exe cuted a strongi r one. Lei. it be remem bered that it is drawn by a Radical : Mr. Boutwell is a man of one ide. In this he differs from the President, who is a man of no ideas. And it is difficult to tell who is the more dangerous in power, the monomaniac or the obstinate block head. Mr. Poutwell is what New Eng land produces when the produce is with out brain. Cold, selfish, ignorant, and avaricious, his heart is as free of feeling as his head of thought. The meanest of all things heaven permits to exist is a mean Yankee. George S. Iloulwell is a living specimen. Beginning life in a country store, where a. sharp proprietor has to make his living out of sharper cus tomers, his finuicial mind received its training in the swindle sale of damaged allspice, pepper, salt, and soap : and now, as Secretary of the Treasury, he is only an enlarged dealer in small wares. lie cannot get our of the narrow ways of his early Fife, and probably would die were he to succeed. As a politician he is the merest casualiiy. to which no country in the world is subject but New England. He was a bore in the House, and when by accident he appeared before the Sen ate as one of the immortal impeachers, he treated the world to a roar of laughter that echoes yet whem memory brings to mind his oratorical ilight through" that hole in the sky. It was our crowning mis- fortune, after the blind election to the Presidency of a coarse, ignorant sold'er, to have this man made Secretary of the Treasury. Too cold to feel the sufferings of the people, too ignorant to apply a remedy, even if he appreciated the evil. he drives on with the contempt of his sub ordinates, the hate of his associates, and the general execration of the people. Radical Stealings. Says the World of the 31st ultimo : ''Sam Cox in his speech last night at Abingdon square, at the Nor ton ratification meeting, said that a Repub lican friend counted up and confessed to Republican stealings f-ince 18G0 of 100 millions. Samuel's friend evidently sup poses that they have no better or bolder robbers than Tweed on the Federal deck. Mr. Cox is nearer right in thinking that the clear downright stealings of the Radi cal party since 18C2 have been not a cent less than 1,000 millions, one half of which sum has been stolen under the due form of tariff law. Nor does this sum include the 24 millions lost by the syndicate and its operations within a few months, nor yet the S22C.91 1.747 robbed from the South by the carpet-bagging theives, aid ed and abetted by Grant and the Con- At Peace. Kaiser Grant, says the Ex aminer, in bis Thanksgiving Proclama tion, says, "We are at peace with all na tions.'' This may be so, but we are not. at peace with ourselves. He has just de clared war against South Carolina, and his minions are carying consternation and distress to the homes ot the defenceless people of that State. If the Almighty would smite into nothingness, the little tyrant of the White House, the people ot toe South would have something to give thanks for in good earnest. From present indications in Washing ton Territory, the Democracy will have an easy triumph at the next election. The Radical carpet-baggers and thieve3 are falling out among themselveF. "The West Yv'e have received the first' number of a paper with the above name, published in San Francisco, by John II. Carmany & Co. It is a large sixteen page monthly, full of interesting reading matter and furnished to subscribers for the low price of one dollar per year. It is so different from any other publication heretofore is sued from San Franciscoclaiming to rep reseat the interests of the PaciCo coast, but whose ideas only evtended to the city limits of San Francisco, or at fartherst. to the State lines of California, that we most heartily recommend The West to our peo ple The editor, in his salutator, says : Our new paper is sent out with a view of furnishing all needful information, re- or.rwl itinri nml nroSOCCtS Of lif if r,n ihe Pacific Coast. Is is pubusned viih a view of making it a complete mir ror in which, our friends living on the Atlantic Slope, and in Europe, may see reflected every interest of our people : in which they may look once a month, and see us in our busy rounds see all that our Pacific country offers to industry and enteiprise. To ibis end. its columns will contain information relating to climate, soil, products, commerce, society, educa tion, science, literature, art. church and State. It will be noted, from articles found on the first pages of the-present number, that we have secured the servi ces of some of the best talent on the coast. To the names of John S. Hittell and R. M. Widney. we hope to add, in the next number, other names : at least, one from Oregon, who will give especial atten tion to Oregon and Washington Territory. The articles alluded to are faithful ex hibits of Ihe industries of our people, and the capacities and capabilties of our foil and mines, and will doubtless be read with great interest, at home and abroad. We take the following notices of Ore gon from its columns : A prosperous year with the people of this coast is drawing to a close. OUEGON Has been blessed with an average crop of cereals and fruits. The large number of acres seeded, and the prevailing high prices, together with the incoming capi tal to aid in the construction of railroads have produced a cheerful condition of feeling throughout the .Mate, and Oregon is decidedly hopefub Western Oregon is never aftbeted with drought. Her crops never fail. The Willamette Yalley the great wheat-producing part of the State has not yielded so much to the acre ns in form or years, or in other parts ot toe ate but there has been a large addition to tin number of acres sown, and the crop in the aggregate has been very great. Port land and Salem, the chief cities, have had a year of prosperity. That part of soethern Oregon suited to the production of the cereals, is a great inland district, and though it is a rich country and the crops have this year been large, it is without the benefits of naviga tion or railroad. Put this disadvantage will soon be removed by the completion of the California and Oregon Railroad. Lumber interests along the coast have been dull, mainly owing to the depressed condition ot the San Francisco market. The mining, stock-raising and wool growing interests of eastern Oregon (its prominent branches of industry.) have been np to the standard in prospeiity. The people justly base great expectations upon the completion of the railroad. We also lake the following from its se lected items. Pno.sn:noi.s Times. The average yield of wheat in the Willamette Yalley this j-ear, is about thirty bushels to the acre, and the total yield will be about one-third more than it was last year. The spring sown wheat has not been as productive as during some former years. The present season will be one of un usual prosperity for the farmers of Ore gon, w ho have heretofore sold their w heat for from oO to (10 cents per bushel: while this year they will realize an average of SI or more per bushel; oats that former ly sold for 2.5 cents are now selling for 75; wool that in previous yars sold for 1.5 and 20 cents, is now selling at from t() to 40 cents. This advance in ihe products of the farm will give an immense impetus to farming in that State, and the breadth of land sown will be still largely increas ed in the coming season. Much advant age will also be derived from the establish ment of direct trade between the Colum bia River and the wheat markets abroad. Some idea of the extent to whuu wheat growing may be carried in Oregon, with the world lor a market, may be inferred from the fact that the Willamette Yalley alone, is capable of producing lOU.OuO.Ol)'.) bushels per annum. A splendid future is in store for Oregon. Ao ! icn.Tt'RA i. Pi:osn-:cr.-5 ix Or. kg ox. A correspondent of the B-iUdin, of this city, writing from Clear Lake, Oregon, says that portion of the State is rapidly building up for itself a high reputation, for the products of wheat, and will soon be equally distinguished for its herds and dairies. From Portland on the north to Ashland on the south there is an uninter rupted stretch of 00 miles, suited to every class of agricultural productions South-eastern Oregon has a wonderful adaptation f r raising cattle and sheep. throughout an extent of 20!) moes m length by lot) broad. It abounds in a great vanity of natural grasses, upon which ail kinds of stock thrive. It is esti mated that there are head of horned stock. at least 1.000.000 and as many sheep, now grasing in that region. The country possesses peculiar advantages for the dairy business, which will, no doubt, be largely engaged in as soon as the facili ties for transportation are furnished. Failed to Dei end. Last week we asked the Oregonbin to inform its readers how much Woods received for accepting the Oregon Central Military Road. It has failed thus far to answer. Come cut with it neighbor. The figures are not so great but what you can comprehend them. They are not like Secretary lioutwell's. It was not cash. The Company wouldn't stand that. It was only twenty-five hun dred dollars worth of stock. Don't tell your readers that the money which was received at the Department of State dur ing Woods' administration on account of five per cent, land sales was all stolen. It would be the truth, and your readers don't relish truth. They are not used to anything of the kind. A Good Showing. In every Democratic county in the State we notice the tax levy this year is much less than in the counties under the management of Radicals, while all counties which have been under the control of the Democracy during the past four years, with, perhaps, one or two ex ceptions, are out of debt. This is a good showing for the Democracy and should encourage the people to trust a party which shows its abilities to administer the affairs on such small ta on the peoples' earnings. TnANKSGiviNG. Governor Grover has issned a proclamation, appointing Thurs day, the 30th inst. as a day of general thanksgiving and praise to Almighty God for Ilia manifold blessing. COURTESY OF BANCROFT LIBRARY, TiNTVF.RSTTY m? P.T.TT?nPMT& Well Done j From the Portland Herald. The election in New York contains a healthy and hopeful sign; one over which we rejoice, because it is full of hope. It became perfectly apparent that the Tam many ring, which had for so long a time controlled political destinies of the city and the State, had become corrupt, was replete with all kinds of rascality and stealing. Indeed, it was fully proven that it had stolen from the people by the million. No roo: icr was this fact cora- pletely established, than the indignation of the peonle rose ''to the highest pitch; and that indignation was all the more in tense and prevading. becaase the rasca.i- ty was perpretratcd by the men m wnom ine people bad placed cofidence. The people found that those whom they had favored, upon whom they had showered kindness, confidence and official rewards, bad useu ttat very couuenvu iu w plunder their benefactors: and people so abused, deceived and plundered were in dignant, as thev should be; and we are rejoiced to see that they were aroused to a right appreciation of the magnitude of the crimes and the heinous character of the criminals. Thus aroused, the peo ple resolved to break up this corrupt ring. The question was of such magnitude that it rose above party; and to accomplish the main design, the people for the time being, resolved to forego even party Ties and obligations rI he tirst consideration was, -Let us rid ourselves of these thieves." They have done it; and it proves that, when the people are rightly informed, they will rightly act. So much for New York. Well done aroused and faithful people. Now let the people of the United States take tliis acton of the people of New York as an example. Those who have robbed the people of that great city have been most signally rebuked and overthrown by an indignant people; let the people of the United States go and do likewise. If" the public thieves of New-York stole millions, the thieves who rob the whole people of the United States have stolen billions. If the people of New York are satisfied of the guilt ot their local official thieves, the peo ple of the United States kitoic that those in whom they have placed confidence; those to whom they hare confided the destinies of the country; those in whose hands they have placed, the multiplied billions of public treasure, they have proved recreant to the trust and have stolen that treasure for their own aggran- di.ement. to enrich themselves. Never was such public plunder and robbery be fore known in human history. The peo ple see it; thev know it; the evidence is before their eyes. Not a week passes that one or more of these oflicial thieves is not brought to light, and the news- papers of the day are full of such in? an- cs. Some of them have been practicing their roguery for years, before detected; and those who are detected only prove that others are yet behind who. still un detected, are fortunate and prosperous in their rascality. Now let the people of the United States take courage from the example of New Yotk. They of New York havu done well; let the people of the country show that they are not interior, in this regard, to their New York bretb ern. Lei us. in lb72, turn out of office the Federal theives. a.; New York has un seated the city thieves. The Hand of Go A. We noticed some days since the fact that Mayor Mason. of Chicago, in his proc lamation, says the Examiner, fixing a day for public humiliation and prayer, attrib uted the late fire there to a spec'al provi dence. He declared it to be the act of God, inflicted upon the people for their sins and iniquities, and it became them to humiliate themselves before Him to pro pitiate the Divine wrath. This view is concurred in by many sanctimonious preachers. Now we wish it distinctly un derstood that we do not believe God Al mighty had anything to do with this fire. We believe it wholly the result of natural causes. The same combination of cir cumstances would have caused the same result in any other city of equal size, al though its population were made of" saints. Neve it 13-or Mason s view is con- enrred in by at least one journnal pub" lushed in an adjoining State to Illinois. We refer to the Rushville (Indiana) Amor" ican. That paper regards it as an adjust ment of balances between Chicago and the South by the Almighty, and we infer, from the fact that the Sacramento Union copies without comment the followiug from the Indiana paper, it ogrees with it. We don't : Nearly one-half the city has been laid in ashes and a hundred and fifty thousand people rendered homeless. The announcement, at first, seemed in credible. When the telegraph confirmed the facts a thrill of horror and sympathy prevaded the universal heart. This fact presents a palliative for many of the out rages and cruelties ot the past ten years, and shows that human nature has, after all. some redeeming traits. It ' was far different when Sherman's army desolate:'! and destroyed the fairest region of the South, robbing and plundering, and burn ing as they went, leaving the people to starve; or, when Sheridan, a monster of cruelty, overran and destroyed the valley of Yhglnia, afterward boasting that a crow would have io carry its provisions under its winsrs if it should attempt to fly over it ; and " thus he brought starvation on the old men women and children of that region ; so that thousands perished of faminer More property and more lives were destroyed in these raids than in all Chicago put together, and what was the sentiment of the North? One of exulta tion and rejoicing. These acts of vandal bin were paraded as victories, and the heroes were met on their return with ova tions of men and oblations of kisses from nianv of the gentle damsels of the North, carried away by military glory that set tled around" the heads of these vandal chiefs, that was degrading, sickening, disgusting ! What cared these women for the"homeless. houseless, starving mothers and children of the South? Nothing. Thev exalted in their sufferings ; laughed ot the story of the ravishment of the daughters of the South, the burning and robberies of their dwellings, the slaughter of their strong men ; shouted hosannahs, and threw from the tips of their fingers kisses to the perpetrators of these acts of vandalism. That was then ! Now, that which Is not half so horrible, thrills their bosom with sympathy, and their band is quick and liberal to the relief of the sufferers. These things prove that man is a good deal lower than the angels, and sometimes little higher than the devi's. Chicago lost, perhaps, five hundred million dollars by the tire. The property destroyed in the South is estimated at over one thousand millions. The fire in Chicago was the re- j suit of accident. The. destruction of i property in the South was done purposely by Northern soldiers, and compares ex actly with the acts of the Goths and Yan dals. savages that oveiran and subjugated the Roman Empire. But we are living under a higher civilization. Chicago did her full share in the destruction of the South. God adjusts ballanees.

Answer We are opposed to the intro duction ofChine.se labor in the city until it shall be shown that there is not enough American labor to supply the demand. 15y American labor we mean labor of per sons making homes in the United States, owing allegiance to the Government. We are opposed to the introduction of Chinese labor em the mere ground of cheapness. The fact that a Chinaman is content with poorer fare than an American, fms no fam ily to support and no children to educate, does not furnish sufficient reason for im porting Chinese laborers. If they come voluntarily, there is no way to prevent them. They have the same tights under laws, and under tho laws of Heaven, that all others have. They mu.-t be protected in these at all hazard. Put we should look upon any concerted movement to bring them here in advance of any real need of them as unwise, and hope it will not be attempted. Mr. Brown is a promi nent and wealthy citizen. There is hot a scarcity of laborers here, many men and teams having come from various parts of the country. lL would probably be a los ing speculation to bring Chinese or any oilier kind of laborers here at present, in any number.
