From a lecture in San Fran cisco by Col. John C. Carmany, the follow irjg account of their courting customs is taken: Every young girl is at liberty to refuse a suitor for her hand. The father, mother and brother are pro hibited from interfering in her choice. Her person is at her own disposal. After a brief courtship the lover makes a formal proposal by offering so many horses. Horses ai'e a stand ard of value among the Indians. As the squaw does all the work, horses are accepted as cquivolent for her labor. "When a young warrior becomes enamored, he fastens his horse to the wigwam of the squaw whose hand lie seeks, where it is left four days. If she fails to feed and water the horse during that time the master is reject ed, but if she accepts his ofier .she grooms ami cares for the horse, and tiesjiim to the wigwam of her lover, as much as to say, "I am willing to be yonr slave and do your work." At the marriage the sages and sachems meet toge ther, and the bride is not unfrequently loaded with forty to fifty pounds of silver and copper trinkets. Tolman as a Judjrc. The Republican press is publish ing with much gusto a statement that during eight years administration as County Judge, not a decision of his was reversed by the higher courts. Onr cotc mporaries are sadly mistaken in ti;is case. It is a notorious fact that not only a few, but many, were reversed. One of the most promi nent was a case in which (i. Karew &ki was plaintiff, and Gib. Chrisman, defendant. It seems that Karewski had bought a farm on Applegate of a Mr. Stephenson. Chrisman had a lease of the premises from Stephen son for a certain period, and was no tified that the rent must hereafter b ; paid to Karewski, to which lie agreed. When the lease hfttl expired, Karewski called on him to vacate, which Chris man refused to do. The former then brought suit before Tolman to eject Crisman. Plain as the "case may ap pear to the most unprejudiced per son, Tolman decided in favor of the defendant. Whether it was owing to Tolman's ignorance, bull-headed-ness, or other causes, that he render ed such a decision, is nnknown. Of course the case was appealed to the Circuit Court and reversed, the Re publicans to the contrary notwith s t a nd i n g. Jade son r 'die Times. England Ont Rest Ccrtomkts. England and her colonies take three fourths of our manufactured leather, and one-third of our tobacco, 9CJ per cent, of our wheat, 58 of flour, 5'G per cent, of our corn, and three fourths of our cotton crop, paving for the last item "alone .L30,(MiO',(KH). She takes, moreover, (3 per cent, of our hams and bacon, 50 per cent, of our butter, and 00 per cent, of our cheese, the total amount paid-by her for these products last year being some fG'5,000,000. While such are the present figures with our exports with England, the rapid increase of continental trade in all probability soon vary the propositions. The Continent is taking more and more of our meats, oils, etc., every year, and new distributing centers are be ing formed. At the same time, the above figures conclusively show that Great Britain is after all our best customer, and is likely to remain so for a long time to come. How js This? It is certain that a small number of favored speculators in New York were informed of Gen. Grants veto message the day before it was sent to Congress. The New York Sun says: One gentleman, whose name can be furnished, dealt in gold upon the strength of this private information. The same in telligence was also in the possession of Mr. Jay Gould, whose operations in consequence are said to have been extensive. We learn likewise that a lady who lias become noted in public affairs, had the benefit of the same knowledge. Tacts like these reflect upon the President. Wheat Sown by the Dkill. An investigation by the Agricultural Department into the advantages de rived from the use of the drill in seeding wheat, shows that the use of the drill saves one-sixth of the seed, and increases the aggregate product of winter wheat ten per cent. IV. Carey Johnson. This individual is the nominee of Ring for Judge of this Judicial Dis trict. Most of our readers are fa miliar with his history in the Joe Thomas, or "Wrestling Joe" case, and we need not here reeat it. On last Saturday evening a Peoples' Mass Meeting was held in Portland, where great enthusiasm was mani fested and a large crow d of . the best citizens of that place in attendance. In speaking of the candidate for the Judgeship, Mr. Crisfiehl drew this picture of W. Carey, which our read ers will readily recognize. He said : "He did not like to vote for a man who 'had a little ghost' which he carried constantly about with him. When he went into Court to plead a case he did not wish to address a man who kext his 'ghost' with him. He did not like to look at a man, es pecially one occupying the bench, back 'and beyond w hom stood that little grinning apparation, which, when closely scrutinized assumed the doubtful visage of " Wres tling Joe." He did not wish to look at, or speak to a man, called upon to administer strict and impar tial justice, who could assume any other appearances but that of an hon est man, or could remind him of any thing but a fearless, upright and in corruptible J udge. He did not w isii to take any stock in ghosts. When he looked at Judge Shattuck on the bench, he should see nothing but an honest man. Scrutinize him as he would, he should find no ghost about him, neither any dark or mysterious surroundings." The remarks of the speaker in re gard to Mr. Johnson and his " little ghost," brought down a storm of pro longed, uroarious applause, w hich continued some time. It clearly in dicated that the pertinent allusion to certain doubtful transactions in mat ters of real estate, were duly appre ciated by the audience. Cast in the liackgiouiMl. The Democratic victory in the Connecticut State election has jutted out so prominently into public no tice, remarks the New York World, that a number of minor Democratic victories in other parts of the conn try have been partly cast into the background of a picture is often the most effective part of it. And it is certain that the numerous local successes won by the Democrats of New York and of the West and South, recently, are no less significant proofs of the rising fortunes of the Democratic party than was the con solidated rout of Radicalism in Con necticut. In every part of the. coun try the State and municipal elections show a steady advance of Democratic sentiment and an immense accession to Democratic members. In Cincin nati and other less important cities of Ohio the Democrats carried the elections by overwhelmingmajorities. They have gained ground in New Jersey and in New York; and in St. Joseph, Mo., the Democrats were successful for the first time since the negroes began to vote. Rut the Spring elections are merely a fore cast of what the State and Congres sional elections of the Fall will be. If Democrats adhere to Democratic principles and do their duty in the canvass ard at the polls, as they are sure to do, Radicalism will be routed at every point. Nothinjr S!ran;re. The JHemiry regards it as rather cheeky for the Radicals to oppose and denounce the purchase of the locks by the State. There is noth ing strange now-a-days among Radi cals. Even Scott now denounces the scheme, and he was one of its fore most champions two years ago. " The Journal is run by Ben Simp son, and is edited by his son, Sam. Simpson introduced the bill to sell the Locks to the State, and he and Mai lory were its champions in the House. And now to see these wor thies denouncing it as a steal, is a degree of impudence not often dis played, even by Hippie Republicans. But we presume if the bill had be come a law, and they had received their $5,000 contingent fees, prom ised by the Lock Company, it would have made a great, deal of difference. By the, way in this connection, -we would like to know if Dick Williams pay for lobbying the measure, was like that of Simpson and Mallory's, contingent, or did he get cash down." Judgment for John. John Var num is a practical joker. A few Sundays ago, in returning from church, he was conversing with his wife on the subject of the sermon, and remarked that he couldn't believe saint and sinner ever dwelt so near together as the sermon represented. His wife intimated that they could, and instanced the following case: "Haven't you and I dwelt in the same house for several years?" This was a hard hit on John, but he wormed out of it, and 'closed the case with the following argument: "Yes, to be sure; but did I ever call you a sinner?" Judgment for John with no appeal. - COURTESY OF BANCROFT LIBRARY, T7'TU,VRTITV n? PAT TT?HT3M T A The Matter Settled. The Radical press have haI much to say in regard to Dr. Dawne's di ploma, and have not hesitated in charging him with being an impos tor. We hope our Radical fritnls will now be satisfied. The Mercury of the 23d says: Dr. Dawne has handed us a letter, and a receipt from the Express Com pany showing that the Dixloma, about which so much has been said of late, was started, on the 7th inst. from his-home in Virginia. Thus another one of the falsehoods manu factured ag-iust the Democratic ticket in the present campaign has fallen to the ground. The attempt to injure the private character of Dr. Dawne is as base as is possible to conceive, and that too, that his polit ical enemies might make a little cap ital, and enable a newspaper corres pondent, writing under an alias, to gratify a private, not to say cowardly, revenge. When Dr. Dawne came to the Pacific Coast he did not then, nor does he now, contemplate engag ing in the practice of the medical profession, and therefore left his di 2loma with other private papers at his homo in Virginia. But when designing parties sought to injure Lis reputation he sent for it to vin dicate himself and stop the mouths of his slanderers. And now that proof exists that the stories put in circulation by the anonymous cor respondent, "Timbuctoo," are false, will the papers which gave it cre dence have the manliness to give it a denial, or will they continue their attempts to injure? the private char acter of an estimable gentleman. A Plain Matter of Fact. The Salem Mercury of the 17th inst says: The Bulletin of yesterday makes a charge against the Board of School Land Commissioners, by alleging that T. H. Cann, for the considera tion of 830 810 from one person and 8-0 from another had been vio lating the law and the rights of ap plicants, and allowed parties who were friendly to the Board the pref erence over supposed legal appli cants. We have made inquiry about this matter, and are able to pro- .1 It 1 M . nounce tne wuoie cnarge ot the Bulletin us unqualifiedly false. We suppose the Bulletin refers to one Van DeLashmutt and a confederate who was with him, both land-sharks from Portland, who had been search ing all through lamhill county for School lands to gobble up. They made their applications and paid at the time the amounts above specified as part paymeuls, which were credited upon the "books of the School Laud Department the same day, which fact is plain to be seen by examining the books.' On investigation it was found that the lands applied for by these sharks were occupied by set tlers who under the law were first entitled to purchase. These lands were near the line between Yamhill and Polk counties, and whet, it was found that DeLashmutt it Co. were not entitled to the lands, their money was returned, and the day oi its return marked on the books of the office also. This act of DeLashmutt & Co., which the Bul letin seems to champion, was a delib erate attempt to deprive settlers of their homes, and we think the Board did a wise thing in spoiling their little nefarious scheme as soon as the facts were known. " HciiiiAii FOK Gkoveu." From Polk county come the rallying cry of the campaign. The opposition, among their many false assertions, have charged that La Dow's nomina tion was brought about by Mr. G ro ver, and that on account of this Mr. Nesniith was not friendly to his elec tion. On the morning of the day the gubernatorial candidates spoke at Dallas, and the road leading past General Nesmith's house was lined with people on their way to hear the speaking, his daughter concluded to vindicate her absent father against vituperative assertions of his ene mies that he was opposing Mr. Gro ver, and therefore hoisted over the house a banner inscribed with the motto, " Hurrah for G rover." The crowds passing caught the inspira tion. Hats were waved, and honest shouts answered back to that banner, " Hurrah for Grorcr!" . Thus anoth er evidence is given of the superior power of woman to arouse by word or deed the enthusiasm of the people for truth and right. Democrats, let the motto inscribed by that noble daughter be your rallying cry for this campaign. Now they have got an equalized spring bed so that if you only weigh a hundred pounds, and your wife weighs three hundred pounds, she don"t sink down any lower than you do. This has always been a great failing with spring beds. A small man couldn't tell whether he would be alive in the morning or not. A La Crosse man went to bed first the other night, and got asleep, and fin ally his wife came in mad because she stubbed her toe on a rocking chair. She weighs a good deal, and she jumped into bed suddenly. She went clear to the bottom on her side, and the springs on his side flew up, and w hen he woke up lt was coming down from the ceiling head first. If hadn't had a soft bed to fall on he would never have known what hurt him. Large women should be care ful about falling into bed, or they will kill somebody yet. TnE saddest thing in life is the spect cle afforded by a young person who has burnt all herliair off her forehead with a hot slate pencil and cannot afford to buy a row of curls. A Forward Movement for Congressman. From the Daily News. At no time has there been more than a possibility that Col La Dow, on account of the resentment which it was feared his unavoidable absence from the stump might provoke, would be beaten. Happily, however, whatever of such doubts may have been stiggested have been removed. Reports that are reaching us from all parts of the State show that the Democratic strength is rallying sol idly to the party nominee. The de termination to elect the whole ticket has become settled. Hon. Ben iiay- den has taken the sturnp and will speak at all important points in the Wjllamette and Umpqua allevs. His Salem speech is said to h tve pro duced great effect. The sudden for ward movement in favor of La Dow is due in great part to the evasive and dishonest conduct on the stump of M.r. llliams. 1 he latter gentleman has utterly failed to meet a single re quirement of one in his position. His speeches have lacked dignity and sincerity. Thev have shown neither capacity nor honesty in deal ing with public questions. We re gret to say these things about a man w ho has none of those qualities which invite opposition. His evatious, to use a milder term than the facts will warrant, have done him an irrepara ble injury. He began the canvass with a denunciation as strong as he was capable of making it of those whom he chose to call swamp-land grabbers, and has been proven by the most ineontrovertable evidence to have filed upon 100,000 acres of swmp land himself. The predica ment was bad enough; but he mado it infinitely worse by repeated pub lic denial that he had applied for such lands. The ineontrovertable record evidence of the fact, when it came, placed him in a posture that is positively pitiable for one in his position. But there was an accumu lation of disasters in store for Mr. Williams. He took occasion to de nounce that which-he called the Locks job of the last Legislature. He was answered with an accusation that he lobbied for the measure. Here, again, he most unaccountably came out with a, denial of the accusa tion, which he repeated from time to time. His antagonist allowed this to go on for some time, and then read a letter from the President of the Locks Company, disclosing Mr Williams' relation to the measure as that of a lobbyist to secure its pass age. Here were two crushing expo sures exposures which make it mi possible for Mr. Williams to retain the confidence of any considerable number of the people, much less ad- aie . lm e f th rein. His vacilla tion upon the question of freight- regulation by Congress; his shame ful evasion upon that vital subject, and his want of opinions on the cur rency question, were enough in themselves to deprive him of a stand ing among thinking men. These things have had their effect upon men of all parties. Considerations affecting general politics have aw akened Democrats to the necessity of making Mr. Will iams' defeat overwhelming, not least among which is the possibility that the election of President may go to the House of Representatives in 1870 where Mr. Williams' vot each State counting one vote might de cide the election. With a number of candidates in the field, a failure to throw a majority of the whole vote in the Electorial College for a particular one, is not improbable. The more the Democrats rellect upon this the more resolute do they become in their hostility to the Ring candidate. They might become rec onciled to a man standing upon the unrescinded Hippie resolution, to a man of mediocre abilities and of un certain convictions, but they can never consent to incur the risk of having the vote of Oregon cast for the Grant candidate for President in 187G. xVn Infamous Proceeding. Jt is now well understood that the mission of II. W. Scott to this city, last week was to post Republicans in the swapping business. Every Demo crat on the Independent county tick et is to be swapped off for votes for the Republican nominees. Dick Williams is also to be traded for votes for Tolman. Everything is to be subordinated to accomplish the one object of electing Tolman. With Tolman Governor, the crea- tures bread years of the ring have a show for and butter for at least four more. Cavuse-eved Mallow will then have charge of" the Peniten tiary instead of Uie Penitentiary having charge of him. The Custom House at Portland, and the State House at Salem will work together to fleece the people and enrich the rung. v in th-e people of Oregon assist in this villainous object? If Al t .. . tney no we shall lose confidence in tne capability of the people to gov ern themselves. Albany Democrat kjvjuu. xoiman met witn a very i . . . . J cool reception in eastern Oregon. At Umatilla when the boat landed with. Governor Grover, Mart. Brown and Tolman, the Governor and Mart were met by a host of enthusiastic friends and escorted to the hotel TVO . ... xuiiuuu was not, recognized uv any one until Mart introduced him to two or three Republicans who chanc ed to be present, and he went mourn fully to his hash-house. Rev. Dr. Dawne, and his immediate neighbors and friends, have cleared up the cloud thrown over his fair name by some villainous compound of a mean political sneak in the Ore- gouian, showing the utter falsity of "Timbnctoo," the spurious name of this spurious writer in that sheet. Rut the Doctor has made votes by it. Astoria n . The Hriual Tur. l'oung Spriggles and his amaran tha Jane had jhst been married, and were going upon their bridal tour. They didn't know whether upon their return they wonld board with the old folks or take rooms in a private hotel. Being only a clerk, -Spriggles' means were limited and ho could not expect much at first in the way of living. "Of course," he said to old Dodge, a wealthy mem ber of the firm who had granted him a three weeks' leave of absence, "We must be in style, you know sir. I s'pose you took a rusher .when you were married. I mean you took an extensive one and showed your wife & the sights." "Yes," said Dodge with a nod. "I'll tell you about it. I made long pre- parations for my bridal tour. anI the girl that was to be my wife help ed me. We had it all fixed, and ev erything laid out beforehand. I worked hard for it, and sue worked too. It was to be the grand event of our lives, and we wanted that it should be a success. We feltthat aa the new life opened-, so should it continue. I w as earning S500 a year. That was good pay for a salesman hve-and-tuirty years ago; better than three times that amount now, as things go. "We were married in the morning at the hous5 of my wife's. father, lhen we rode two miles to the substantial cottage I had procur ed as a homt. My money had made the first payment on it, and Mary's money had furnished three rooms in it. And we ate our first meal there after in our own house. And I thence went to my work, and my O wite set about her work. It was a life, and we were determined to sue- ceed if possible. And in that effort was our joy. And in the success that followed was actually happiness. In less than three years my house was. paid for, and my home was my own. Come storm or come sunshine we had a roof to cover us a roof from which the hand of man could not turn us. I doubt, young man, if ev er a bridal tour was happier or more profitable than mine; and I know the exercise of housekeeping upon her own accord was invigorating and healthful. But then we married for real earnest living and loving. We believed we should find life's purest joys in the discharge of life's sacred duty "I declare" said the old man, with a glistening moisture in his eye "I should like those first blessed days of my homelife to live over again. Bat it may not be. "And" he added with a regretful shake o his head, "I fear the young men of the presenf generation will not live - . A W A iAJT Xj J l'ij Spriggles walked away scratching his head. He wasn't sure that he had really caught the drift of the old man's remarks. Boston Courier Will Make a Clean Breast. A smart negro from Louisiana eupho niously named Pinchback, sought to secure a seat in the United States Senate but the- blande Radicals in that body rather "shook him off," whereat he is very much disgusted. and in a public speech, has given due notice to the white trash at Washing ton that if he isn't allowed to take his seat which one not specified he will make a clean breast of his knowledge, which is " sufficient to make the Republican party quake." So mote it be ! When rogues fall out. etc. Is any one so foolish as to believe ior a moment, mat it the liippleites n nail possessed a living show of car rying the State, that Tolman would have been nominated for Governor? Most certainly not! Dolpl would have been nominated beyond adoubt. But as they couldn't elect Dolpli, they did the next best thing they O nominated a man whom Dolph anil Mallory could use. Everv vote cast for lolman for Governor, is a vote r for the management of State affairs o to pass into the hands of Dolph and Mallory. O We announce for the benefit of those desiring to attend the approach ing Grand Lodge, A. F. & A. M., of Oregon, to be held at Portland, be ginning June Sth, that arrangements have been effected wherebj- half-fare ticket will be issued to delegates and members upon presentation of cer tificates rf membership.

Brazen. Dick Williams has been denying all through the campaign that he lobbied for the lock bill intro duced by Ben. Simpson, during tho session of the last Legislature. At the Dalles, Tim Davenportread a letter from B. Goldsmith, President of the Lock Company, certifying that Dick did lobby for the passage of the bill, Yet Dick's law partner, Thayer, says Dick won't lie. How about thisMr. Thayer?. An exchange wishes the farmers of Oregon to remember that E M. Wait'e has for a number of years held the position of Secretary of the State Agricultural Society, while at the same time he did the prmting for the same ? How much cash thd he fobble on that 'lay-out?.
