Apache Courtship. .
Even those coiiper-coloretl cut
throats the Apache Indians, have a
touch of delicacy and reverence in
them. 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

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,

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

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.
