He is fascinated, enthralled, bound hand anil foot for evermore. "Why it is he cannot tell lie can not imagine. The mystery is un fathomable.

The Chicago Triliute is of the opinion that the most bitter opponents of Ciesarism will be found in the North and West. It says: For the present ( Vsarism is a laughing stock, but it is more than probable that in a very short time it would have the direct or indirect support of several large classes of the popula tion including the following: 1. The whites of the South. 2. The blacks of the South. .3. The Northern mo nopolists of all kinds, the land grab bers, subsidy-grabbers, salar'-grab-bers, tarili'-grabbers. -4. The Fed eral ouice-holders. But Casarism would iind sturdy odponents in the great mass of the Northern people who are not monopolists, are not office-holders or otlice seekers, and who are not interested in schemes against the public Treasury. All the tradi tions of these people, their religious and secular education, their indus trial habits, their political and social hopes and ambitions, are entirely hostile to it; ami these people will be likely to unite against any propo sition in that direction, whether it came in the form of a third election to the Presidency or any other shape.

COURTESY OF BANCROFT LIBRARY s UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, Kadical l'latform. The following platform was adopt ed by the Radical State Convention at Albany on the 11th inst: 1. That we look with pride and satisfaction upon the peaceful and prosperous condition of our country as the natural result of its applica tion of the principles controlling the Republican party, to the administra of national affairs, and that we reaf lirin the principles of the party here tofore enunciated in its conventions and declare their practical enforce ment is .essential, to the welfare of the country and the maintenance of the rights and liberties of the people. 1. That the Chief Executive of the Nation has our unabated ami un qualified confidence in his ability and enlightened patriotism in the admin istration of the duties of his high of rice. o. That we point to the discordant ami chaotic political elements which ojjpose the Republican party to-day, to the grand advances made by our Government in its political standing, financial credit, commercial impor tance and the material development of the resources of the whole coun try, as the direct, natural and inevit able result of the enlightened policy ami principles of tlie Republican party. 4. That we denounce the recent act of Congress known as the "Back Pay Bill," and the voting pay for or receiving increased pay for services already rendered. 5. That we denounce all "Credit Mobil ier" transactions, whatever their form, and we heartily approve of tht: action of the late Congress in exposing and punishing oliicial cor ruption. G. That we favor retrenchment and reform, and rigid economy in the ex penditure of the public money in the State and National Administra tion, and the reduction of taxation as rapidly as consistent with good gov ernment and the maintenance of the public credit. 7. Tli.it we cordially welcome to our shores the oppressed of all na tions, and remembering that our adopted fellow citizens have always proved loyal to the Hag of the Re public, we demand for them the ful lest protection of the laws, and we favor increased facilities of naturali zation; but we condemn the coolie trade and all forms of involuntary servitude, and alVirni that the safety and perpetuity of free institutions demand more stringent laws to pre vent such traffic. 8. That the interests of this State deni'.uids. in its commercial relations with the other Slates of the Union, both present and prospective, will warrant h liberal expenditure on the part of our National Government in toe improvemement of our harbor and river channels; and it is the true policy of our people that they should be so represented in Congress as shall mosfr effectively secure this re sult. Ih That true economy in the man agement of the public lands of the United States as well as the settle ment of our vast domain and the de velopment of its resources, demand liberal grant of thd public lands to aid in the construction of railroads and other public works, with such limitations and restrictions as will secure the ultimate sale to actual set tlers. 10. That we are in favor of Con- , i n. i.i:.. i i... gressiomu grama oi me puone lamiM to aid in the construction of a rail road from Portland "in Oregon, to some point of junction with the Cen tral or Union Pacific Railroad, in Salt Lake Valley; of a railroad from the Rogue River Valley to a junction with the Central Pacitic Railroad. 11. That the interests of commerce demand the construction of a break water at Port Orford in this State and an appropriation by Congress for that purpose. 12. That the protection of the com merce of the Columbia River de mands the placing of a steam reve nue cutter with all necessary appli ances at. the month of said river. Pi. That the producing Commer cial and industrial interests of the country, should have the best and cheapest modes of transportation have a reasonable remuneration, and these interests should be fully pro tected, the facilities for transporta tion should be adjusted as far as pos sible to the wants of every part of the State; with no unjust discrimin ation as to any section, person or class, and that as capital and labor are inseperably connected and mutu ally dependent,-' the resources of the State will be best developed and the best interests of all classes promoted by mutual concessions and accom modations between labor and capital and between the producer and car rier. 14. That we are opposed to the setting apart of the "Willowa Valley for an Indian Reservation, and the candidate of this Convention is here by dedged to use his influence to secure to white settlers the lands in said valley; that the Modoc murder ers of citizens on Lost River and Title Lake in November last, should at once be delivered to the civil author ities of this State, so they may be dealt with according to law; that we are in favor of a humane peace policy tow ards peaceable Indians. But that full and complete protection should at all times lie given to settlers on our frontiers against the depredations of hostile ant I refractory Indians. -- m loo Smap.t for Him. A vonth of nineteen lately fled from Dodson, Ohio to escape the clutches of an en amored girl of twenty-one. At Rock rield, Indiana, he received this tele gram: "Get up and dust. Sal's on your track close." He "dusted" his best, forthwith, but she came up with him at an obscure town in an Illinois town and led him back home and to the altar. llcntiblicaii Trickery. From the Knsson (Minn.) Telegraph. Since the farmers' movement has become so formidable, the Republi cans are indulging in all sorts of chi canery to make political capital out of it; for themselves, in the coming election. At a Republican Con vention ieltjin Bureau County, 111., a friend of free trade offered a Res olution demanding the abolition of the duty on salt, iron and lumber, those articles so necessary to the farmer. This was defeated and the Convention stood pledged to Pro tection. The afterthought occurred that this action might not be viewed favorably by the farmers, and an other resolution was immediately offered and adopted, alarming the be lief of the Convention that a tariff for revenue was alone desirable, ami that the duty upon iron, salt and lumber, should be removed as soon as possible. Upon mature re flection, however, it was determined that even this would not do and accord ingly they adopted the resolution they had first rejected, and made free trade so far as salt, iron and lumber are concerned, the corner post of their platform. But the farmers of Illinoia are not such great fools as the Republicans take them them to be, for they declared at one of their meetings in this same coun ty "that the Republican party which for the past thirteen years lias had perfect and exclusive control of our State and national, affairs, with am ple time and power to remedy all evils and corrupt all abuses within the scope of governmental action, if it had so desired or intended, is fully and clearly resj-onsible for the grievances f which we they com plain." These farmers are also well aware that it was a Republican, not a Dem ocratic Presicent who packed the Supreme Bench; a Republican Pres ident who gave effect to the shame less salary-steal bill; a Republican Secretary of War w ho consummated the Fort Snelling swindle; a Repub lican Cabinet that counselled the outrages upon Carolina and Louis ana; a Republican Congress that organized robbery and called it tar iff. Nearer home, it was Republican Legislatures that swelled the tax levies of every State in the West and Northwest; Republican County treas urers who embezzled or misapplied local funds; Republican Governors who connived at or shielded such convicted theives as Seegel and Munch, of this State, and Edmunds, of Michigan. With all these facts before them, we do not bolieve the Grangers will fall an easy prey to the manipulations of the Republican party. The leople vs. the Politicians. The venerable Francis P. Blair, Sr. being interviewed by a Herald cor respondent, expresses the following political opinions: So long as the people sre immersed in business and are content, with the course of things they will get used to most any en croachment on our civil rights. It is so long since the Democracy had a voice in the administration of af fairs that I not wonder that its enemies say it is dead. What is there to give life to a party if it depends upon money and ofticeholders, or greed for gain and power? It takes expectation to make excitement, to rouse the masses to united effort. As I told you in the first part of our conversation, I have great confidence in the restoration of the old Demo cratic principles. I think I see evi dences of dissatisfaction cropping out of the Republican party that is fatal to a third term for Grant, if his party is rash enough to put him in nomination. There are thousands quite as anxious to hold oliice as those now provided lor, and that is an element of weakness in any party long in power. There will certainly be antagonism. Selfishness is supe rior to patriotism, and though the Greeley movement did not succeed within the next three years there will be such a falling off from the Republican ranks as will make de feat certain. Grant will have no in ducements to hold out for re-election. Those in olliee will expect to be re tained, and if there is not enough vitality in the fortunate officials to exact that promise, then, indeed, may it be said, our country is gov erned by one man. But I have con fidence in the people more than in the politicians. On: roruiiATiox. The Washing ton correspondent of the State Jour nal says the population of Oregon, in 1870, according to the first report made by officers engaged in taking the 0th census, was set down at 00, 'J2;. These figures have since been taken without question as the true population, but only that portion census officers un der the head of "constitutional" ami " representative " population, and is made up as follows: White, 80,810; colored, 05G; Chinese, JJ.ooO; Indians, 318. Total, 00,023. Ac cording to the report of the superin tendent of the 9th census, published as a preface to the first, or popula tion, volume of the statistics of the 0th census, the true population of Oregon, in 1870, was 101,883, (of whom 24.G08 were twenty-one years of age ami upwards,) made tip as follows: White, 8G,020; colored, 34G; Chinese, 3,330; Indians, 11,287. Total, 101,883. It will be seen by the above figures, taken from the official report of the superintendent of the census, that in " constitution al " and " representative " population of 90,023, all the negroes and all the Chinese in the State, and 318 In dians, are included, while 10,980 Indians are excluded. In the total, or true population, all the Indians are counted, as in other States, mak ing the population 101,883. " " "' 1 - "' " - Morion's Millenium. The admirers of the Radical Sen ator Morton, of Indiana, delight to call Jam a bold politician. The Lou isville ConrUi -Journal thinks it cer tainly required n deal of boldness for lam to say in his speech in Ohio the other day, that public moral have gradually improved since 1S(K), and that Congress is a purer body than it ever was before. We do not remember to have heard or read of a bolder assertion than this flight of Mortonian audacity or audacious Mortonism, made right in the teeth of the numerous instances of official dishonesty and corruption which have occurred under tlie existing Ad ministration. It is the general testi mony of history that wars are accom panied and followed by official cor ruption. The history "of our own Government during the late Avar and subsequent to the inauguration of Grant furnishes strong corroboration of this testimony. The records of official dishonesty from th Waslangtom down to the Credit Mo bilier do not show in their aggre gate sum an amount ofl-n.wprv ph.ii to the single fraud of the Credit Mo- bilier. It was a wholesale plot which involved the great lights of the Ad ministration j lai ty. And yet the men most deeply implicated in that affair still hold their places in the Admin istration councils, although in any former Administration public senti ment would have hissed them into obscurity. Ignoring this giant fraud it is not strange that Senator Morton ignored the Philadelphia frauds, the New York and New Orleans Custom House frauds, the Kellogg fraud con summated by Judge Durell's infamy, whose turpitude was .w ell expressed in Senator Morton's strong report to the Senate. Partisanism aside, it would perhaps be historically accu rate to say that no country has shown a greater amount of official profliga cy than does our own at the present time. It has contaminated even our high judiciary. "When was it ever heard of before Judge Sherman's time that a Federal Judge, for a fee of 810,000, went to Washington to argue a case before a Senate Commit tee in behalf of a client, the payment of the large fee being based upon the fact that the Judge's brother was the Chairman of the Senate Commit tee, ami might possibly use his in fluence in favor of his brother's cli ent. In Massachusetts the heart and brain of the Republican party, a des perate contest is going on at this time to prevent Gen. Butler from getting tlie Republican nomination for Governor. What shall be said of a party whose standard of morality is such that a man of Butler's repu tation can muster so strong a support in its ranks?. No, no, Senator Mor ton. You have been improved by your visit to the Hot Springs, but the milleninm is still far away, and the Republicans in Congress resem ble no angels except those which fought under Lucifer. Depredations on the Itio Grande. Washington, Sept. 11. Col. Robb one of the Commissioners to inquire into depredations committed on the persons and property of American citizens on the Rio Grande border, has recently received numerous let ters stating that such acts are con tinually occurring, and that since the Commission left that section last spring large droves of cattle hive been driven to the Mexican side from ranchoes between Browns ville and Brazos De Santiago and between Brownsville and Rio Grande City. These thieving operations were committed 'in daylight, and in several instances exultingly by the Mexicans, who had escaped with their booty from the U. S. cavalry who had pursued them, but had halted on the American side of the river. In addition to cattle stealing, murders have been committed not far from Forts Clark and Concho. It will be recollected that the eCom mission reported an actual loss of 815,000,000 by such incursions. This amount has been considerably in creased since the term of the Com mission expired. No doubt that the attention of Congress will again be called to this subject by the Presi dent with a view to the protection of citicns of the United States on the border. Demands on Mexico to put an end to these marauding expedi tions have not been successful, and gentlemelrin high positions say they see no remedy ftr the evil except in the acquisition f a portion of Northern Mexico, commanding both sides of the river, and that such ac quisition is not improbable, consid ering that Mexico will be unable to pay the aggregate damage which Texan s have sustained by the una bility of Mexico to restrain its citi zens from their wrong doings. 1 G No Wonder. The Syracuse Courier commends as follows ujon the removal of the statue of Jefferson from the front of the White House: No wonder Grant wanted the statue of Jefferson taken out of his sight. It stood a rebuke to the man who has been swinging the Government away from the Democratic principles on which it was founded. But what will the people say to such vandal ism practiced on the statue of th6 author of the Declation of Inde pensence? Fails to Say. An editor in Fort Scott, Ark., announces that he has seen snakes in the sun, but he fails to say how many whisky smashes he took to accomplish it. e Its Piuce. Tlie "motto" of a Missouri paper reads as follows: "Eternal vigilance is the price of lib erty: two dollars a year is the price 0 of the Press." 1 O GT O O O e o G O O O o o o O o o o o o O Q O o O o o o c o
