OREGON CITY, OREGON, FRIDAY,

' I1MIIH,
Moral conra-e is a big tiling. All
the good vapors a.lvise everyloav to
have moral courage All the Almanacs-wind
up will! a word about
mora courage. The Rev. Murray,
ami the ltev. Collier, ami the Re'v
Spurgeon, and lnfs of ot-er rever
ends tell their congregations to ex
hibit moral courage in daily life.
Moral courage doesn't cost a' cent;
everybody can till up with it until
he can't eat half a dinner after going
withent brealifa-t.
" Jlave the moral couratre to dis
charge a debt while you have the
money in your pocket," is one of the i
" moral courage' paragraphs. j
Mr. Mower read this once, and he j
determined to act upon it. One day i
his wife handed him five dollars, j
Avbicli she had been two years sav- j
ing, and asked him to bring her up j
a parasol and a pair of gaiters. On j
the way down he met a creditor, and j
had the moral courage to pay him. j
Keturning home, his wife called him '
150,000 names, such as "fool,"!
"idiot," etc., and then struck him !
four times in the pit of the stomach j
with a llat-iron. After that lie didn't !
have as ranch moral courage as j
would make a ieamng-post for a sick
grasshopper, and Ids w ife didn't for
give him for thirteen years.
' Have the courage to tell a man
why you refuse to credit him," is an
other paragraph. That means if you
keep a store, and old Mr. Putty
comes in and wants a pound of tea
charged, you must promptly re
spond :
" Mr. I'utlty, your credit at this
store isn't worth the powder to blow
a mosquito over a tow string. You
are a fraud of the iir.-t water, Mr.
Putty, and I wouldn't trust you for
a herring's head if herrings were
selling at a cent a box."
Mr. Putty will never ?.sk you for
credit again, and von will have the
consciousiH ss of having performed t
your honest duty.
' In providing an entertainment
for your friends, have the courage
not to go beyond your mean.'.," is an
other paragraph, if your daughter
wants a party, and you are short,
don't be lavish. Uurrow some chairs
make a bench of a board and two
pails, and set out some molasses and
watermelons and tell the crowd to
gather around the festive board and
partake. They will appreciate your
moral courage, if not the banquet.
Have Hi,' cot. rase to hhow your
respect for honesty, " is another.
That is, if you hear of anybody who
1 licked up a So bill and restored it to
its owner, take him by the hand and
say: " Mr. llambo, lot m ; compli
i:ent yon an being an honest man.
I didn't think it of von, and I
am
agreeal !y d isap pointed,
believed yon were a liar, a
a thief, and I am glad to
I always
rascal and
lind that
yon are neither shake."
"Have the courage to speak the
truth," is another paragraph always
in use. 1 once knew a boy named
Peter. One da1
wl.en he was loaf
ing around he heard some men talk
ing about old Mr. Ifangmoney.
Their talk made a deep impression
on Peter, and lie went to the old
man and spoke the truth. lie said:
"Mr. Hangmoney. when I was tip
town to-day I heard liakc-r say you
were an old hedge-hog with a tin
ear."'
" What!" roared the old gent,
"And Clevis said that you were
meaner than a dog rolled in tan
bark," continued the truthful hvl.
"You imp you villain!" roared
the old man.
"And Kingston said that you were
a bald-headed, cross-eyed, cheating,
lying, stealing old skunk under the
hen-coop!" added the boy.
Then old Mr. Hangmoney fell
upon the truthful Peter, and lie
mopped the lloor with him, knocked
his heels against the wall, tore his
collar oil" and put his shoulder out
of joint, all because that boy had the
moral courage to tell the truth.
And thorp was voting Towboy it
was the same with him. lie had the
moral courage to go over to an old
maid and say:
" Miss Fallsair, father said he
never saw sue h a withered up old
Hubbard squash as you are around
trying to trap a man!"
" He did, eh!'' mused the old maid
raising up from her chair.
" Yes. and mother says it's a burn
ing shame that you call yourself
twenty-four when you are forty-seven,
and she says your hair-dye costs
more that our wood!"
" She saitl that, did she?" murmur
ed the female.
Yes, and sister Jane says that if
she had such a big month, such
freckles, such big feet and such silly
wavs, she'd want the lightning to
strike her!"
And then the old maid picked up
the rolling pin and sought the house
in which Towboy reside.!, and she
knocked down and dragged out until
it was a hospital. men ioiuivs
father mauled him, his mother I
pounded him, and his sister denuded j
him of hair ill because he had mor- !
al courage in his daily life. j

The Contest in New York.
The successes achieved by the Dem
ocracy in Ohio and Ind'ana, at the
recent elections in those States, afford
i ground for belief that the State of
i New Yord will be carried against the
! Administration at the November elec
; li n. Tiie Congressional delegations
j of the two States first mentioned eon
i sist of thirty-throe members, while
the last-named Statf has an equal
j number. The aggregate Democratic
majority in Ohio and Indiana when
complete returns slsall have been re
: ceived, will probobly exceed thirtv
I five thousand. In ''the Presidential
j contest of 172, those States crave
f i rant a majority over Greeley of 00,
OiO. On national issues that great
majority has been overcome and the
popular vote shows a maiority
against the Administration of not
less than :'...000 in those States.
In the State of New York, at the
last Presidential election. Grant had a
majority over Greeley of 5:5,415 which
was partly owing to the refusal of
many Democrats to support the lat
ter. With a Democrat who can poll
the full Democratic strengtd, the
Grant majority of 1N72 can be easily
overcome, and the Empire State will
range herself in the column with
Ohio and Indiana. An inspection of
the election returns of the three great
States we have named will prove that
it will be an easier matter to carry
the last than the two former, as the
per-ec-htage of change to achieve a
Democratic victory in New York re
quires to be only'a slight one. In
the Seymour election Grant's majori
ty was not over ten thousand. It is
claimed that the papularity of Gen.
Dix is so great that his election by a
larg majority is almost a foregone
conclusion. We doubt it, and for
good reasons. He stands on a plat
form that excites grave suspicions in
the minds of all conservative Repub
licans. Pennsylvania and Kansas
declared their opposition in their
Radical Conventions to a third term;
but in New York the State Radical
Convention was silent on that issue.
That body desired to enlist the sup
port of the National Hanks and mon
eyed classes in favor of Radicalism,
and by their silence ignored a ques
tion which will prue of grave im
portance in this contest.
The l b mocrats in their Convention
at nvracuse oonuy ctociareu their op- j
.. .1 11! T 1 "..
position to me ttangerous innovations
that tiie partisans of President Grant
contemplate introducing, and which
would receive an important support
it Gov. Ibx can be elected in tha
Empire State on a platform silent in
that matter. Article XII of the
1 )emoci'at i-. platform reads as follows:
"The Presidency is a public trust,
not a private perquisite: no third
rterm." That issue must enter into
l he Gubernatorial and Congressional
leetioiis of that State to be held on
November .'),. and the position that
Samuel .1. Tilden occupies thereon
is that recommended tothe American
people by the mo--t powerful of all
arguments the example, of Wash
ington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe,
and .laekson. Gov. Dix s reticence I
on the proposition will lose him the
support of conservative Pepublioans,
because his course is unbecoming
his position as a candidate for popu
lar approval, when he should know,
from his long experience in public
life, that the people- expect candid
ates for their sulfrages to be frank
and bold in their utterances in public
ai fairs.
The Presidential contest will take
place two years from now, and near
ly sill the Radical Conventions were
silent on the third term problem,
save Kansas and Pennsylvania,
which declared against it, and South
Cirolina which declared for it. But
if the great State of Ne-.v York should
elect Gov. Dix on a platform ignor
ing that issue, then the next two
years will witness the most extraor
dinary efforts on the part of the Radi
cals to elect Grant a third time, and
a victory in that State would induce
Pennsylvania and Kansas to retrace
their steps. The press of New York
city is in opposition to the Adminis
tration now. At the commencement
of his second term he had able sup
porters in several of her leading jour
nals, but the shadow of the third
term, has projected its baleful gloom
upon the political future of thecoun
try, and now none of those old-established
newspapers yield him their
support. To arrest the tide of opin
ion against his acts and his aspira
tions, his friends have originated a
new organ called the Rfpitblv;. It
cannot save a sinking cause. The
Democracy have rallied the masses
to the support of their candidate,
ami even Gov. Dix cannot be elected
on a pi tit form that covertly favors
the third term system. Examiner.

Ingratitude to l'rovitlcncc.
A body of farmers in South Wilts,
England, have determined to reduce
the wages of their farm laborers from
l'Js. to lis per week, on the plea that
as there has been an abundanut har
vest, bread will lie cheaper, and the
farm hands can live upon lo ss wages.
This is an atricions manner of testi
fying gratitude to DivineProvidence
by making a bountiful harvest a pre
text for robbing the poor by lessen
ing their wages. The English agri
cultural laborer is almost at the
mercy of his employers. He is their
tt-iiaiit fit will, and if lie does not
work at the t.-rices the farmers are
willing to pay, he can be driven from
his cottage, and no one in Ids neigh
borhood will rent him another. The
rent of a cottage will average two
shillings per week, in the locality
where the farmers have combined to
reduce the wages to eleven shillings.
That leaves the family consisting of
man and wife and several children
only nine shillings or S'2 10 per w eek.
With that scanty pittance the labor
er is compelled to live on a very
meagre diet, one not .suflicient to
maintain his strength.
Tor many years past there lias
been a steady decline in the amount
of comforts a week's earnings would
procure a farm laborer. Money has
decreased in its purchasing power
compared with its exchangeable val
ue of twenty years ago. And the
demands made upou the country to
supply the wants of the large cities
have caused many articles that were
very cheap to command prices be
yond the laboi er's means, and they
were absolute necessities to his chil
dren who are seldom treated with a
meat-dinner. Milk, that in former
times was extremely cheap, is now a
costlv article, as the railways ranidl v
eonvev it to the great cities. Pota-
toes and milk is now
pensive for the farm
a dish too ex
laborers' eliil-
uren. jjiiuer is oouuie lis iormer
price. Pork and bacon have advanc
ed in the same ratio, and the lot of
the peasantry appears to be daily ap
proaching the starvation point. The
wages given by the farmers do not
meet the average expenses of the
best and most economical of the la
boring men's families. The poor
house has to give assistance, but that
system of relief is depreciating the
I i .-.1 l -r , i
character oi the people. It lessens
iheir spirit oi independence, and un-
Ldermines their phvsical strength.
j. ne peasantry oi ireiaml are now
in a better condition than the farm
lab -rors of Pngland. Their compen
sation procures them mora of the
necessities of life than the English
farm laborer can obtain on his scan
ty wages. That improvident condi
tion has been obtained by the whole
sale emigration of the Irish to the
American continent. The vonitger
members oi' the familv. male a ml fe-
mal.
have been able to
holt
their
relatives hv obtaining hu-her wages
i
for a week's service in the United
States tha-n they could earn in a
month in the land of their birth.
Millions
have left
of enterprising Irishmen
t!
le
sod,'' and have
bettered their own condition and
that of their f.'.milics by doing so.
Such a eoui'so ;s the only remedy for
the English farm laborer. A much
smaller exodus from England than
that which has taken place from Ire
land would be sullieient to raise wa
ges in the former, as the relative
population of the two countries, con

The Vagabond Sack An old man

His clothes looked as though they
might have been bought second-hand
in his youthful prime, for they had
suffered more from the isib of the
world than the proprietor himself.
" What business?"
"None; I'm a traveler."
" A vagabond, perhaps?"
" Y'ou are not far wrong. Travel
ers and vagabonds are about the same
thing. The difference is that the lat
ter travel without money, the former
without brains."
" Where have von traveled?"
"All over the Continent."
" For what porpose?"
" Observation."
" What have you observed?"
"A little to commend, much to
censure, and a great deal to laugh
at."
" Humph! what do you commend?"
"A handsome woman who will stay
at home; an eloquent preacher who
will preach short sermons; a writer
that will not write too much: and a
fool
lias got sense enough to
hold his tongue."
" What do you censure?"

" What do you laugh at?"
" I laugh at a man w ho expects his
position to command that respect
which his personal qualifications and

He was dismissed.

I'roia the Fayetteville Press,
certain hotel not a thousand
A
miles from I'ayctteville recently had
for its guest a sanctimonious looking
Puritan from the butt end of Massa
chusetts, who took great pains to
ingratiate himself with the colored
people and instils into their minds
the odious doctrines of negro equali-
j ty. The civil rights bill was a favor
! ite. hobby, ami he took occasion
I wdienever a suitable opportunity oc
f cur rod to whisper into the cars of all '
j negroes that came in his reach that
j he considered them his equals in
; every way. The porter is a hurley
i negro named Joe, who is as greasy
j and odorous an African as ever im
; parted a high liavor to the summer

i Massachusetts had been using him
! tor some time as a whetstone to
s.iarpen Ins abolition theories on.
but Joe is u sensible darkev, albeit
he is not the best fellow in the world
to run one's nose against, and lie has
a pretty corr. ct idea of a negro's
place, which kept him from being
gulled by his would-be white broth
er. Resides, Joe is attached to tho
landlord of the hotel, and as he is
talkative withal, he unbosomed him
self to his employer one evening, and
related all that the insidious Yankee
had said on the subject of Sumner's
legacy and negro equality. The
landlord was thoughtful for a mo
ment, and then said:
" Joe, I'll give you i?2 to-morrow-morning
if you'll sleep with that fel
low to-night."
uoe's eyes twinkled like stars, and
he quickly responded: " Dat's a bar
gain, Mai'se Jim, 'fore goodness."
That night the meek and unsus
pecting white friend of the race of
Ham was just crawling into bed
when Joe slid into the room hum
ming, " John Rrown's body lie
smoulderiu' in do dust," and com
menced shedding his clothes without
further ceremony. Tho amazed Pu
ritan started up m his bed, his eyes
starting from his face like a coulple
of door knobs, and tremulously in
quired: " My colored friend, what are yon
going to do?"
Joe .tilled his shirt over his head,
gave a tronic-iidous yawn, set a few
thousand odors arloat, and made a
leap for the bed, screaming as he
went:
" Tse gwin. to soend do nicht wid
myokair
The horrified disciple of Sumner
gave a yell thai would make a Plate
Indian's hair curl, tore himself from
Joe's perspiring but fond embrace,
leaped from the bed, broke out of
the door with the caudal appendage
of his shirt il.ating like a summer
cloud behind him, and fell into the
arms of the landlord who, attended
by a few friends, was enjoying the
whole scene as only a decent white
man could. Next inoruing Joe re
ceived his money, but the saintly
sneak from Massachusetts was not to
be seen.

Things seem to have come to such
a pass that Gen. Butler cannot ope
his mouth but out there flies an ar
gument for the Democracy. What
does it mean? asks the New York
World. At Gloucester, as we. have
already noticed, he reminded his an-ti-infiation
audience that the Democ
racy is the anti-inflation party of the
country, and now at Essex he forci
bly shows to his Republican consti
tuents the utmost importance of a
Democratic triumph not only in Mas
sachusetts, but in the Union at large.
"One of the great difficulties in this
State," he says, "is that we have had
a party in power almost twenty years
and we have had no change in the
ollieers or the administration, we
have had no opposing partv to bal
ance the books aud look them over
and see if thev were all right. I
hope, trust aud believe thev are all
rigid, but I don't know. Nobodv
iias examined them. It is vour old
cashier that alwavs steals the money;
your old, trusted, confidential clerk
tnat turns defaulter. Coming lrom
Euth-r, is not this very remarkable?
It is as much as to say that the long
ascendency of the Republican party
in Massachusetts and the Union has
left the people of both in painful
doubt as to the honesty of their
agents and the slovency of their af
fairs, for which reason it is high
time that the party in power were
expelled, from it.; that there were a
change of officers and administration;
that, in short, we had the Democracy
to balance the books and look over
them and see if they are all right.
And this is true. It is indeed a pro
found and startling truth. Rut how
comes Euller to utter it? Is the ru
ral atmosphere so charged with it
that he tells it spontaniously ? Or
does he, in making what is probably
his political end, recur instinctively
tei the impression of his earlier and
purer public life, and unwittingly
plead for Democratic victories, as
the dying Falstaff "babbled of green
fields."

The New York WurWn New Or
leans correspondent gives a graphic
picture of the condition of affairs
which led to the violent overthrow
of the Kellogg government last week.
It is well for the press to give ex
tended publication to these causes,
as it is plain that the liadical press
have iletermined to make the most of
the revolt in influencing the North
ern Congressional elections. Thin
correspondent says:
"Ground down beyond endurance,
deprived of the most sacred right of
a citizen, the right to vote, itbecamo
apparent that every man who oppos
ed the usurpation should be disfran
chised. Their infractions of law,
their violations of vested rights, their
disregard of the rights of property
in the last few days, and espeeially
after Grant's order placing the treops
under Paeard's control, became so
gross and tyrannh'al that the people
could no longer liear with atience.
The day succeeding Grant's letter
the following mode of questioning
applicants for registration was adopt
ed: Registrar "Do vou belong to tho
White League?"
" Y'es."
"Y'ou must then bring two wit
nesses to prove your majority."
This to men with gray beards.
Again:
"Y'ou wish to register?"
" Y'es."
"Will you vote for Lowell (the de
faulting postmaster, now candidate
for re-election to the Low er House) V
"No."
"Then ypu must bring your certi
ficate of baptism to prove that you
are twenty-one."
In several instances men vho have
exercised the elective franchise for
years were thus t rented. They ap
plied to the courts. They were turn
ed away w ith the statement that a
court of law could not meddle with
politics. In connection with this,
private dwellings aud stores were en
tered by the police, and all arms
therein of w hatever character forci
bly taken away. Men preparing for
a hunt were arrested for carrying
guns on the unheard-of charge of
"intending to incite a riot." It was
forbidden to carry pistols for protec
tion against robbery. Men with
canes when assembled in larger num
bers than three were dispersed by
the police. In a w ord, actions were
daily committed that the Czar of
Russia would not dare to perform.

The man who gave the New Or
leans emute its first color of right bv
placing himself at its head is Davidf
son Ihadfute Penn, -who was elected
Lieutenant-Governor in 1S72 on the
McEnery ticket. He shared the fate
of his colleagues in being counted
out by the illegal Election Board.
which, backed bv Federal bavonet
and a drunken Federal Juelge, put
"it -it-

Gov. Penn was born m 1830. He
comes from an old Lnuisiana familv.
After graduating from college ho

Miuhtiea law. anil then neoarno a
merchant in New Orleans. He en
tered the Confedei-ate service as Ma
jor of the Seventh Louisiana. He
was promoted for gallantrv to the
Colonelcy. He was taken prisoner
at Rappahanock Station and sent to
Johnson's Island. Just before the
eedlapse ef the Confederacy he was
exchanged, appointed Bragadier-
General, and assigned to the com-1-mand
of Eastern Louisiana. When
the political campaign of 1872 open
ed, Mr. Penn was nominated for
Governor on the Liberal ticket. The
anti-Republicau elements were after
wards fused, and he ran as McEnery's
Lieutenant-Governor. As every ono
knows, he was really elected. We
clip from the Louisiana press of that
year some testimonials to his char
acter. He is a gentleman in the full sense
of the word, who by his dignified
deportment, his tact and modesty,
his gentleness, his free liberal ideas,
has made the most favorable impres
sion. He possesses tho esteem of
the merchantile community on ac
count of his strict and correct man
agement, his reliance and honesty.
Ho has freely and openly, with a
strong resolution, declared himself
in favor of the rennovation brought
about by the Republican party. Mr.
Penn never was a politician; he ia
no wire-puller who cares for a nom
ination, and he knows nothing of tho
low tricks of Louisiana politics.
His public career is as stainless as
bis private character. All who know
him are of the opinion that in regard
to intelligence, keenness, energy,
and righteousness, he has few eeiuals
in thestate. To his talent for organ
ization the Liberal party of Louisi
ana is greatly indebted, and thou
sands have allied themselves with it
because a man of honor liko Penn is
at the head of it.
Prepabino for Fkacds. The Now
Orleans Bulletin says that the Kellogg
party are making preparations for
tho most extensive frauds at the ap
proaching election, as is shown by
the registration of voters. The books
have only been open about fifteen
days, and yet there are already a
large number of negro voters regis-:)
tered in excess of the negro voting
population in the city, and they are
everv day permitted to register when
their pockets are already filled with
registration papers. It further charg
es that there is a scheme on foot to
import voters from Mobile, and that
over one thousand negroes in that
citv hold registration papers fs vot
ers in N1" OrlE23.
