Future American Vol i tics.
The cry kept up by Democrats over
since tbeir drubbing in the civil conflict
"the vm.t 13 over," is at last listened to
with some (?gro of crotTrtlity. Tho
political aspect of tho country nov; ap
pears more favorable than at any time
sinco the war. For tho Drst time since
Fort Sampler vras fired nport there are
signs of a fraternal foiling 'between the
North and the South which cannot ba
smothered by the machinations of ruck
loss politicians. This feeling sliowa it
self in the advances made by the .Ad
ministration toward a roal political fel
lowship with the Sonthfand the manner
in which that advance has been met.
The nomination of ex-Senator Key to a
place in President Haye3' Cabinet ia a
crossing of sectional and political lino3
irhieh cannot be mistaken. Mr. Hayes
wonld not have invited Mr. Key to his
family council if he did not intend to
pnrsne aconrae toward the South which-
a man of Mr. Key's antecedents conld
approve. We do not moan bv this that
Mr. Key will dictate Mr. Hayes South
ern policy, bnt between the two a policy
"will be shaped that a Northern Repub
lican and a Southern Democrat can
work together in carrying ont. Tho
Southern Democrats who look with dis
favor upon Jlr. Key's acceptance of a
place in President Hayes' Cabinet, are
looking rather to the partisan than to
the national resnlt of the act. The South
claims equality with the North in the
councils of tho nation; and tho nomina
tion of Mr. Key is a atop in this direc
tion, which will donbtleps bo followed
by others if this is received in a proper
spirit. The South claims to bo loyal
to the Union if tho Union will bo just
to her; and the nomination of Mr. Key
is a guarantee that no injustice is in
tended. The South claims to want sec
tional lines obliterated, and the Presi
dent in seeking Mr. Key has disregard
ed them.
It is not probable, therefore, that the
Sonth will maintain an attitude of re
sentment because its salvation does not
fiome through the channels it was ex
pected to take. It docs not follow that
the Democratic party will go to pieces
in tho South; bnt if the policy of Presi
dent Hayes is cairied out, parties will
assume in that section tho relation tho
old Whig and Democratic parties main
tained toward each other. There will
be parties and political contests; but
Totb. will be socially respectable and
politically patriotic. The whites will
-attach themselves to either party, as
formerly in the South and as at present
in the North, and neither association
will be regarded as a porsonal reproach.
When the whites deride, the blacks will,
and tho color lino will disappear. In a
word, tho Administration has aftr-rapted
the herculean task of naturalizing a
party born and matured on sectional
issues.
It is not for a moment to be supposed
that this work will go on unopposed.
There are men now in public life, who
have risen to eminence as sectional dic
tators. They have fought, in a political
sense, so long at the South, that they
re impregnated with the idea that tho
South is a public enemy. When these
men see a Republican Administration
.moving over in that direction, not with
.a purpose to figlft, they assume that it
18 with a purposo to surrender. They
cannot quite comprehend the grand idea
of our American Republic, in which lit
erally there shall be no North nor South. .
fThese men were useful in their day, and
-are honored for their services, but if
they wish to retain their present influ
ence, they must move with the times.
The representatives of the South have
ehown, thia past winter, that the dis
trust with which many of their political
opponents have regarded them, was not
Reserved. Thoy have now one Presi
dent Instead of two, and a certainty of
peace in place of a prospect of war, is
due to a very great extent to the loyal
attitude of these Southern representa
tives. What mora fittiDg time could
be chosen, then, for a policy of concili
ation than the present? Mr. Hayes,
though not the choice of the South, be
came President through its forbearance,
and may thus become, in an especial
i sense, the President of the whole coun
try. As for parties, they will take care
of themselves. Names are nothing. If
the Democrats accomplish through Mr.
Hayes that thorough pacification and
.rehabilitation of tho South, which was
the base of their last platform, why
need they turn away from a good offer
because it comes from an unexpected
hand ?
Our own Senators, Kelly and Mitch
ell, have been ornaments to our State.
The Charges against Senator Kelly were
empty, and Mitchell magnanimously
expressed himself as bo believing. O.
J. Enterprise.
If the charges referred to were known
to be empty, why was it magnanimous in
Mitchell to sc oxpresa himself?-Mercury.
Because, as politicians run now-a-
.days, false charges against opponents
are maintained by the slanderers, and
their injustice never admitted. Would
Grover have acted in this way had
equally groundless charges been made
against Senator Mitchell. ?
A dispatch from Columbus, Ohio, of

vicinity. Over a thousand have signed

Keep Up Your Totui.
We cannot understand tho lethargy
of our people concerning their own
best interests. With an immense water
power running uselessly by, they seem
a3 indifferent as if it were of no more
importance than a passing cloud. Ia
tho East such a natural advantage
would be eagerly lought after, and busy
mills would line the river bank from
the Imperial Mills to the "Dry House."
We warn our capitalists in time that
their unconcern is suicidal, and even
now citizens of this place are preparing
to leave for more enterprising towns.
The bridge so much needed, and the
Court House of such necessity, are not
even considered worthy of thought by
our taxpayers, and the result is that
our town, once holding to its heart the
brightest prospects in Oregon, is on the
down grade, amd it is for our Rip Van
Winkle capitalists to "put on the
brakes." It is bettor to leave the town
than oppose every scheme of improve
ment. Men who are all the time wait
ing for a chance to get ont of business
or out of town will never build up
either. One of two things should be
done; Push things; find a way or make
a way to put some "go" into business,
run the town for all there is in it, get
up steam and keep it up, or else leave
the whole thing untouched, naif-way
measures will not do. Do you want
trade ? Bid for it. Do you want busi
ness to come to this town ? Eucourage
those who do come. Do you want to
have a prosperous town, where people
can come disposed to make it their
home? Then bury from sight all local
differences, and do not run up the
price of yonr real estate the moment a
buyer i3 seen in the horizon; work no
more for a few individuals, but all work
together for a common prosperity and
for a mutual benefit. Wake up, wipe
your eyes, roll up your sleeves and go to
work. Dont go to work with fear and
trembling, but take it for granted that
work will toll. Leave results to them
selves, borrow no trouble, but all
united make tho biggest kind of a try.
Poor Paris News.
In view of tho present ticklish con
dition of European politics, and the
fact that every nation on the continent
ia in daily expectation of being called
on to bear a lively part at the "wake" of
the "Sick Man," it may be readily be
lieved that the news from so important
a capital as Paris would be of very
great political interest. The truth is,
however, that politics seem to play an
unimportant part in tho affairs of the
gay capital, and the correspondents of
the various Eastern papers hardly al
lude to tho share of France in the great
6uarl, hourly growing more difficult to
unravel. Instead of news of political
movements we have accounts of the
petty wrangles between the Right and
Left, the Right Center and Left Cen
ter, ith insignificant particulars of
local squabbles among politicians of
whom nobody outside of France, much
less in Oregon, ever heard. Paris news
is eminently characteristic. Rapes,
duels, intrigues, seductions, arsons,
the rogueries of actors aud the scandal
of primme donne are tho standard mat
ter in which tho correspondent deals.
He knows little more; ho looks no
higher. Yet he keeps pace with the
people of the liveliest city of Christen
dom. Monsieur and madame in their
gayety, look no further than the present
moment, and though all Europe, is
trembling with anxiety, they dance as
cheerfully as if the wased floor did cot
cover a magaaine ready to explode with
the dropping of the faintest Fpark.
Their life is a prolonged "Ball at
Brussels" notwithstanding the threat
ening Waterloo.
The Chinese Report.
The report of the joint committee on
the Chinese question may be called "a
double header." While admitting that
Chinese immigration has .contributed
largely to the development of this
Coast it dwells with much force on the
arguments of cheap labor, disease, im
morality aud political indifference, and
sensibly winds up with advocating the
abrogation of our treaty with China
and the making of another which shall
reduce tho quantity and improve the
quality of the immigrants. Senator
Morton and Representative, Meade,
we think dissent from the report, and
the former has promised to give his
views on the subject at an early day.
Meanwhile, we have to patiently wait
until the next session of Congress for
some definite action. We trust that
when this matter comes before the Na
tional Legislature for final decision it
will be discussed and settled on the
basis of reason and in favor of the own
ers of the land. It involves an exceed
ingly important question, and should
that-question be answered in the spirit
of the report it will be at least one step
in the direction of liberating the white
laboring men of this State from the
thralldom of an oppressive immigra
tion. The Oregonian fails to see how Jones
managed to spend $30,000 in getting
re-elected to Congress from the first
district of New Hampshire, and justly
claims that the legitimate and proper ex
penses should not be over a few hun
dred dollars at the most. Correct, Mr.
Oregonian, but probably in that State as
well as m Oregon, there were Hills
Cromns, etc., who had a piece out of
Jones bar 1.

We had almost forgotten the exist
ence of the Cigar Island find its re
bellion, when we were reminded of
affairs there by a dispatch that General
Martinez Campos, commander of the
Spanish troops in Cuba, with much
bluster reports to the Crown at Madrid
that he has completely snrronrided
the poor rebels and it is bnt for him to
nod his head to see them-all hewn to
pieces. There are two sides to every
question, and this one of the Antilles is
no exception. This wonderful Captain
General on his arrival at Havana
promised to pnt down the rebellion by
February. Within a year regular troops
have arrived at Cuba by thousands to
aid in the suppression, but like a brook
that babbles on its course till it reaches
the sea, where it is absorbed and looses
its identity, so these recruiting armies
melt away and disappear. Still the re
bellion goes on, gaining confidenco and
victory as it proceeds. Another Feb
ruary will come and pass before the
Captain-General can redeem his prom
ise, if he continues to make it contin
gent upon his boast while first entering
upon the duties of his offlco.
Of course Spain can not bear to face
tho idea of losing her best, and almost
last colony, and has consequently held
on through year after year of almost
continual defeat and disaster, sending
army after army to be swept away by
the yellow fever and be buried in the
trenches around Havana, and expend
ing with a lavish hand millions borrow
ed from European capitalists, extorted
from the already depleted coffers of the
LTavana merchants, or wrung from the
toil-hardened hands of Cuban laborers.
Every effort has been in vain, sound
your trumpet as you may, Goneral Mar
tinez Campos! Little by little the
island has been wrested from the Span
ish grasp, until now the ground they
stand upon and the graves they fill are
the only parts of Cuba that the Span
iards can justly claim as their own.
An Impartial President.
The southern Democrats who aro
eternally howling for justice and eqnal
rights have no cause to coraplaiu of
President Hayes. In his management
of Southern affairs he is most scrupu
lously impartial, and we defy Demo
crat or Republican to find a flaw in his
policy. For tho settlement of tho
Louisiana dispute he appointed a com
mitteo to look into the affairs minutely
and give a moral common-sense de
cision, nis method of pfop2ing the
absurdity of a d;;al government in
South Carolina is by inviting the rival
Governors to a conference with" him at
Washington, that he m:iy himself, after
hearing both sides in detail, urrive at
an honest decision. C;in any Demo
cratic wiseacres or Radical "bmarties
improve cn these plans for an impartial
hearing of the rival claims of the
Louisiana and South Carolina Gov
ernors? If they can, we have no doubt
that Mr. Hayes will adopt them, for, to
all honest men, he has made it appar
ent that his highest ambition is to deal
out justice to all, and will mete it out
always on the most feasible plans.
The Portland Democratic paper which
calls its adulation to the Orcgonian
"journalistic courtesy," would do well
to practice some of the genuine article
on soma of it less pretentious neigh
bors. "Courteous" papers do not
oJsarge others with admitting the folly
of wading through labyrinths of words
on "Republican Principles," when such
was not admitted; nor do they, on being
worsted in pleasant repartee, discern to
the childishness of calling their victors
ungentlemanly. Such is the conduct
of "toady" papers, of papers which
have to empty the Italic font into their
columns to make their points have any
strength; courteous papers never show
their teeth, nor fall to a fkhinonger's
level by calling names.
The New York Times, in a review of
the Oregon infamy tonches up our
friend Hill:
Patrick explains that it will take $3,
000 to buy up tlso Republican Elector,
and that S3, 000 must be paid as a re
taining fee to the editor of "tho only
Republican paper as a lawyer." Here
let us say that no bribe could move a
Republican elector. The "only Repub
lican paper" wa3 the (Jrcgoman, the
mercenary editor of which appeared in
the mock proceedings before the Gov
ernor, and in his paper, as a defender of
Cronin's right to a certificate. There
must be no "contingent fee" in this
case, says Patrick; terms cash.
And the "mercenary editor" fails to
see how Jones could expend $30,000.
How far would that amount go with a
few grabbers like the editor of the
"only pajier" terms cash?
Of Senator Sherman as Secrotary of
the Treasury the Springfield Republican
says:
"The enthusiasm over the selection
will not be very likely to disturb any
body's sleep, yet it is a very fair clfoice.
Mr. Sherman has a great deal of knowl
edge and experience in public affairs.
Few men have been in Congress so long
without more damage to their personal
character. He has wobbled a good
deal on the currency question, but has
come at last to sound views and con
sistent votes; and now that it is the
fashion to be for reform and economy,
we count on his proving an efficient in
strumentality in bringing his party and
its administration up to the new
standards." -
Rapid Increase. From 1850 to 1870
the value of church property in tho
United States has increased from $7,
328,500 to 354,482,580. Of the 72,458
churches, 69,332 are Protestant. The

The Moody and Sankey meetings in
Boston have resulted already in many
conversions, according to the corres
pondent of the Independent. This cor
respondent writes:
"The sermon in Zaccheus continues
to bring forth fruit. One of my dea
cons had a young man in his employ
whom he entirely trusted. The day
after that sermon he was astounded to
have that young man come to his desk
with five dollars, which he said he had
stolen. Two days later he called on the
good man again to say that he had
found his Savior, and was on his way
home to Maine to make a confession
and restitution there. Among several
cases of the kind reported none ia more
touching than that of an old lady of
seventy. She wrote a letter to Mr.
Moody, inclosing seventy -five cents,
which she had stolen when a child.
The woman from whom she took it and
all the family had died. She hoped
God had long ago forgiven her; but she
wanted to make restitution. Tho money
was for the Lord."
The rivival is also having its effect on
the liquor trade. "Drunkards and rum
sellers have been converted. A friend
of mine went into an eating house the
day before yesterday. The proprietor
wanted to talk with him. 'You notice
a change here.' he said. 'No liquor
about. There's been a change. We
don't sell any more liquor. I've been
to the Tabernacle. I've changed front.
I haven't a long time to live. Rumsell
ing is a poor business for a man who is
going to die by and by. This is the
business I'm in now.' As ho spoke be
drew from his pocketBook a list of
names. It was his prayer list. Ho had
at least a hundred names. It took an
hour for him to go over the list and
speak of each case. 'I don't care for
anything elsefc' he said, folding it and
returning it to his pocket. 'How is it
with you?' My friend is a Christian;
but that question searched him. Di
rectly and indirectly, it is going from
the Tabernacle to thousands of hearts."
The Rev. John Weiss and other clergy
men have expressed themselves recently
as strongly opposed to Mr. Moody and
his services. Mr. Weiss, in his sermon
at the Parker Memorial Church last
Sunday, said that he considered the
present age one of sensation and fraud,
and classed the present revival at the
Tabernacle in the latter category. Moody
and Sankey, he said, were welcomed by
the sentimental and ignorant, who wero
ever ready for sensations, and not by
the people of culture, whom they naver
would catch.
The Liquor (Question.
At a regular meeting of Butte Grange
No. 148, P. of H., held March 21.1S77,
the following preamble and resolutions
wero unanimously adopted:
Whereas, Tho evils that flow from
the use of alcoholic drinks are daily
increasing, as is plainly to bo seen ia
the increase of crime, especially among
the youth of our fair young State; and
Whereas, It lias beoora? an impera
tive necessity that some means be de
vised whereby this growing evil can be
checked and in time wholly destroyed.
Therefore, be it
liesolred, By Bntte Grange No. 148,
of the Patrons of Husbandry, that wo
are in favor of a license law requiring
each person who buys, sells or disposes
of in any manner whatever, any wines,
npiriiunus or malt liquors, to first pro
cure a license from the county clerk of
the county in which he or she resides,
said license to be cot less than five dol
lars per annum.
Jirsolrcd, That it bo mad; the duty of
the county clerk to publish semi-annually
irr the ofiicia.1 paper of the county a
list of the names of all persons who
have taken out such license.
llesoh'cd, That all moneys arising
from the sale of such license, as well as
all moneys collected as fines for the
violation of snch license law, be paid
into the common school fund of said
county.
Henolreil, That the above preamble
and resolutions be spread on the miu
utes of the Grange, and a copy signed
by the Master and Secretary be sent to
the different newspapers of tho State
with the request that they publish the

At a lecture a few days ago in Chicago
a letter was read from John G. Whittier
who, speaking of the advance of modern
science, said:
"Admitting the theory of evolution
to be true, I do not see that it need dis
turb the feelings or faith of the religious
world. No deductions of science can
change the facts of sin and holiness.
We know that something calls upon us
to be pure, true, merciful and just
that something holds us to the great
idea of duty. This to mo is God speak
ing directly to me. as He does to all;
and because He asks me to be good I
know that he is good. Here is a rock
with which geology Las nothing to do."
Texas has not been regarded as the
place where temperance work could be
gin very actively or auspiciously, but
the following paragraph from the New
Orleans Times conveys a different im
pression: "In Rockwell county, Texas, when
the local option was voted on, only
seventeen men went up and voted for
whisky, while the temperance men poll
ed a heavy vote and cleaned out the
whisky shops."
Gen. Jubal Early, the ex-Coufederate,
when passing through Toledo, O., the
other day, speaking of the Presidential
count, said: "Our Southern people don't
care much about it ', all we want is peace.
We didn't care two jSrs whether Hayes
or Tilden went in, but we were deter
mined to carrv our own Suite tickets."

Colttmivus, O., March 22. The spe
cial legislative committee, appointed to
investigate the late Ashtabula disaster,
submitted their report to-day. accom
panied by a vast amount of testimony,
which was ordered priurfed. The com
mittee, after going into details showing
the imperfections in the bridge, report
the following.conclu?ions: First, there
were from 80 to 100 lives lost; second,
the bridge went down under an ordin
ary load by reason of defects in its orig
inal construction; third, the defects
could have been discovered at any time
after its erection by careful and anna
lytical inspection, such as the import
ance of the Ptructure demanded, and
thus the sacrifice of life and property
prevented. The truth is, the bridge
was liable to go down at any time dur
ing the last 10 or 11 years under load
that might at any time be brought upon
it in the ordinary course of the com
pany's business, and it is most remark
able that it did not sooner occur. It
would be needless saying the engineer
would be derelict in his duty who did
not provide, in the construction of a
bridge, against wind, snow, ice and the
vibration of a rolling load. They are
as much to be anticipated and provided
against as the law of gravity. This re
port is accompanied by a bill specifying
how bridges of different spans should
be constructed.
New York, March 23. The Tribune's
Washington special pays the board of
army engineers ordered to examine the
Washington monument foundation made
a careful examination yesterday and or
dered further work to cease. All agreed
that the monument could not be com
pleted according to the original design ,
because the foundation will not admit
of more weight. Tho foundation, orig
inally eight feet below the surface, has
settled inches. The settling begun
when the monument was in process of
building. In settling, the shaft turned
north, and the builders still built ac
cording to a plumb line, and the whole
pile is crooked. This confirms the re
port of Supervising Architect Mullet.
Concord, March 23. Tabulated re
turns from kll but twenty towns and

by a few hundred votes.

Stafiori, Conn, March 27. The
dam of the Staffordville reservoir gave
way this morning, causing in this vii
lage fearful damage. The railroad
freight house and ail the cars were
washed away, leaving only the passen
ger depot. The Stafford National B.nk,
Congregational church and about fif
teen othfr bnildi-igs have been washed
away. The flood came upon the village
suddenly, and its effects have been vc-rv
disastrous; three miles of railroad track
aro washed away, also two Howe triiss
bridge between Stafford snd Towland.
The flood lias caused trouble nil along
the line of the telegraph, which was
promptly brought into requisition, and
Dfigh boring towns warned of tho
mighty rush of waters that was cauging
great destruction of property and
threatening the loss 'of life.
Hartford, March 27. The flood dis
aster at StafTordville is not so destruc
tive as at first reported. A later estimate
puts the actual present los at less than
8350,000. A leak was discovered on
Monday. Mjn were busy nil day filling
in about the waste pipe, but their efforts
were useless. A' 5:30 o'clock this morn
ing the work was abandoned. The water
then- gained so rapidly that in a few
minutes the dam opened. Ed. Pennev,
of tho Glenvill Manufacturing Co.)
mounted a horse at the head of the
flood to warn the inhabitants in the val
ley. The water, which grew greater by
the absorption of successive ponds, as
each lower dam was carried off, moved
at the rate of five miles an hour, and
though from the. time of Penney's warn
ing up to the arrival of the water, peo
ple were busy moving their property,
bnt little was rescued. Amidond's ma
chine shop, several tenements and the
honso of Parley Howe and the dams of
the Thcenix Co., and Howe & Yalloy
Co., were destroyed.
The accident is a terrible blow upon
the valley. About 1,000 bands are
thrown out of work, Industries are
sadly crippled. The loss as far as Staf
ford Springs is estimated at from half a
million to a million dollars. Much of
this is in small sums. The damage be
low Stafford Springs is not easy to get.
It consists of injury to bridges and
roads, bnt no other mills are thought
to be destroyed. The superintendent
of the New London and Northern road
states that the track is all gone from
the Stafford passenger depot half a mile
South, and with the track went the
freight cars, freight house and two
Howe truss bridges. Two miles south
of Tolland the track is washed away.
Wellington bridge i3 probably under
mined. South of that another piece of
track is washed and another bridge is
endangered. Tho water is now up to
the floor and is reported still rising.
No damage is reported on other rail
roads in the State.
