3 it I 31)c (Bnterpn0c. Oregon city, Thursday, apkil 5, Promises to aud from tho South. "We are glad to learn from Southern feourcea that Southern opinion approves of the temperate sentiments of tho Pres ident's address, and endorses bis con ciliatory policy. Yet there is a certain dissatisfaction that lie does not promise that the General Government will not attempt, henceforth, the supervision of States below Mason aud Dixon's line any more than in Oregon or Connecticut. Now vre are not disposed to quarrel 'with this claim which speaks signifi cantly for the Southern side; Indeed we do not Say that President Hayes should not make some such guarantee, and we leel thiit it would meet with as hearty an approval in Oregon as in South Car olina; but Mr. Hayes would have much less prudenca than he has hitherto shown if he skould fail to couple such pledge with the condition that no rvther state of affairs should exist in. the Bonthern States than exist in Oregon rr Connecticut. Until some snch rnu ttnal contract is agreed upon, he cannot shirk his national duty, nor join in the ery "peace," when there is no peace. Against the opposition of the Sonth 'ern States, at a great cost and sacrifice, and ut the peril of our national life, we Lave lifted the curse of slavery from the country, but we have not paid the penalty. The civil-rights question still "survives to remind us of our past iniq uity, and to put to ns the Sphynx's rid die, which we must answer correctly or suffer death. Four million of freedmen Temain among us (not in Connecticut or Oregon, but in South Carolina and -Louisiana), the legacy of our national "sin, and the riddle they put to wljite men is: "What will you do with us?" Thero are only two courses; either we rmnst confirm and, maintain them in 'their citizenship, pnrsuing the policy of the Republican party since the proc lamation of emancipation, or we must irelegate them to slavery. If we choose 'the former course, it is well: if tho lat 'ter, then the Republic has been saved -only to die a more disgraceful death -a few years later. Rut we hav now waited twelve years since the war for one promise from a Southern month announcing that the -citizenship of the negro would be re--spected, and we have not heard it. 'There is not one single act in the whole .Hue of "(he Southern Democratic policy which does not belie any snch profes sion if it should be made, and Southern political history is bnt the record of one constant succession of struggles on the part of Southern Democrats against the decent privilege of citizenship, which we strove to confer upon the colored men. It is not Republican supremacy, it is not carpet-bag rule, it is not dis honest taxation, nor even the presence of troops, which is the chief grievance of those who demand local self govern . ment; it is negro equality before the law which galls and maddens them and against which their faces are set as a flint. It is this which has been the mainspring of their warfare and their bitterness, and we have not seen any indication of relating in that hostility. This is not tho state of affahs which exists in Oregon and Connecticut. In these States no man dreads proscription -or persecution for opinion's sake; in these every citizen, no matter what his color, is absolutely secure in tho enjoy ment of every civil cr political right Tinder the law; and in these society is ' not divided into two classes one of un relenting oppressors and the other of helpless victims. It is almost impossi- ble to conceive such a state of affairs existing in the North, but if it should nnhappily exist we should demand a promise that the rights of citizens to that citizenship which, was guaranteed by the nation should be protected when ever the American flag floated; and if local government was a menace to these rights instead of a protection, then the etrong arm of the Federal power should be extended to Connecticut or Oregon, just as it would be to South Carolina. or XiOuisiana.

In Mr. Lair Hill's retirement from editorial control of the Oregoniah, jour nalism in this State has lost its most polished representative. In the lan guage of the farm, he had, undoubted ly, a "hard row to hoe" in the policy laid down for him by the controlling stockholder in the Oregoniaa corpora tion. He had to bow down beforo the golden calves of each party and then in turn become an iconoclast; he was forced to build beautiful little struc tures only to tumble them over; he was continually dodging missiles and gath ering compliments, alternately from Democrats and Republicans; he was, in a word, the Janus of Oregon journalism and the man who fell to the ground be tween two stools. Mr. Hill was a clear and forcible writer; simple without affectation, and when nettled was as trenchant as a ra pier. The sophomorical scribe, who delights in cheap finery, will look in vain through his editorials for any thing savoring of the "hifalutin;" and threadbare metaphors, such as "the strides of civilization" and "the ship without a rudder" are as carefully es chewed as blunder against the rulings of Lindley Murray. Although Mr. Hill had his course marked out by a certain Mr. Moneybags with instruc tions not to deviate from that path, crooked though it was, it was beyond the power of old Moneybags to stifle his talent or hamstring his strength. Difficult as was his role, Lair Hill may notwithstanding safely be said .to have wielded the most graceful pen in Ore gon journalism and to have shone far in advance of all others as its most brilliant light. Had a man of his ability proved true to his party, pursuing no false gods nor stopping in the race to pick up the seductive golden apples dropped by a political Atlanta his paper would have sprung to the lead editorially as it has telegraphically, and we little fellows would gladly have huddled in its wake as 11 was, tue uregoman assumed a leadership as empty as the army of La Grande Duchess, and those of ns who at all followed the self-appointed champion of Oregon Republicanism did it to bit at its heels. Many people have laughed at "Old Probs" and "Young Indications," and the jokes shot into this weather family; but the services of the Bureau, which gives us the grading of the tLermome ter, the ups and downs of the wind, and the pertubations of the clouds, are invaluable. It is a branch of the War Department which all classes can re gard with pleasant complacency. Ap preciating it at home, we can under stand how and why Great Britain should think the system good enough for its adoption. That is What the Treasury Committee of the British Parliament has suggested to the Government in its report upon the subject. The report referred to also admits that in accuracy of forcasts, the United States is ahead of tho world. And all this, while the service is comparatively in its infancy Those who have assisted in bringing it to perfection have good reason to bo proud of this testimonial as to results already accomplished. To Our Capitalists. Philosophers say that when bays have reached their lowest ebb, the tide be gins to flood, and that the darkest hour is that immediately preceding daylight. If we can apply these apothegms to the condition of Oregon City, there is still some "balm in Gilead," there is yet a little "flattering unction," a cloud with a silver lining, for, judging from the down-hill gait of our city in the pant year, we have now reached its base, and it is for the men of means to come for ward and demonstrate practically the truth of the philosophy above mention ed. So long as our capitalists speculate elsewhere with the money they make in this city, and so long as our people go elsewhere to make their purchases, Ore gon City will decline. Money made here should be expended here, and ev ery dollar ventured here would bring back its reward. There is an abundance of room for more flouring and woolen mills id this city.and a nail manufactory and a first class bag factory would pay dividends the first vear. Our men of money should awaken to the danger that threatens them, and if they would not see their city "crumble into base decay" they must untie their money ua3 ior "ouoruoie enterprises, enter Prises that wiU benefit the capitalist. lue na uie ate, otherwise our doom is sealed.

If any of my brother agents don't think that the Grangers in this part of the valley mean business, just let them come along and see. Two weeks ago I had the honor cf taking the fifth degree with the .Happy Home Grange, which consisted in part ot a good luscious din ner. Yhatever may be said against the Grange movement, one thing is certain: First, they are advancing socially faster than they ever could have done without these helps. Second, they have made wonderful advances morally and intel lectually, through these helps, to a de gree, indeed, which alone would justify the movement. At some other time I will give some idea3 of what I, as an "agent," or "middle man," know about Grangers. A short sketch of the life and charac ter of the Master of the State Grange, Hon. Wm. Cyrus, may be interesting to your many readers, so I will give it in brief. Wm. Cyrus was born in East Tennessee, Granger . county, in 1820, emigrated to Illinois in the spring of 183-4, thence to Missouri in 1837. In the spring of 1838 he set up for himself with a capital stock of one dollar and fifty cents and an ax. Thus equipped, he began to work by the Jay, continu ing until 1812, when he married, having accumulated 250 cash and a good team. He came to Oregon in 1847, and settled on his present home place, about 7 miles from Scio, Linn county. His wife died in tho fall of 18G3, leaving eleven chil dren, eight girls and three boys. He was married again in 1865 to Mrs. Jane Garland, a wi.low who had a family of six children, hinc-e that time they have been blessed with three more, two boys and one girl, making in all 20 children. In adJition to those, he has been guar dian for eleven orphan children, and for the performance of his duties he has been carrying bonds to the amount of fifty thousand dollars to Linn county. He has given to his children five good homes, aud as much more personal property, treating all of his children alike, and not one of them has proven proflagate as a rambier, all having set tled down and are prospering. And, considering the distance 1 had to travel to get across ins present beautiful home stead, I should think he could furnish his younger children j ist growing up with five more good homes, and have plenty left. He has been State Senator four years and County Commissioner two years. He joined the Grange move ment three rears ago, and has leen an active member ever since. He was elected Master of the State Grange in September, 180. lie is n Baptist in religion, a Democrat in politico, retir ing in his disposition, unassuming, pre fers his neighbors to himself, and is proverbially a gentleman on general principles. His neighbors are his best friends, and home is his heaven on earth. He says "ho has tried to so live that when he dies he will be missed." There is an atmosphere about his pleas ant home, presided over by his most excellent wife, which impresses one with the idea of harmony, rest, and peace, which very few enjoy in this world of ours. Respectfully, A. M. Cor.NEiiirs. The Washington correspondent of the Louisville Courier-Journal, who ie well informed as to matters connected with the Democratic policy, says that the Democratic Senators "are beginning to think that Hayes must have some good dtnff in him, thus to resist the bulldoz ing of the leaders who have kept the people of the country at loggerheads for ten years and more;" and that the Democrats "will make no factious war on the Administration, bnt support all good nominations and all acts of the Administration which shall be found to be right and judicious." If Mr. Tilden had been chosen Presi dent, his Southern policy, in the opin ion of the Louisville Courier-Journal, would have been checked by the cry which the Republicans would have raised that he was favoring the ex-Confederates; but the same policy on the part of Hayes will command the acqui escence and support of both parties. "In a word," says that whilom fiery but now philosophical newspaper, "the rec ognition of tho real governments of South Carolina and Louisiana by Mr. 11 Byes will do more to take the South ern question out of politics than the same results accomplished by any other means." The most ultra Democratic journals of the South are foremost in accepting President Hayes' position as a sign of better days. The Charleston News says: We accept the Cabinet appointments as a most gratifying application of the' iiiy principles proclaimed bv the Pres ident at the Capitol on Monday.

The Inter-Ocean's Washington special says: Fernando Wood is said to have in his possession an agreement signed by 35 Democrats who pledged themselves to vote for Hayes in case the election was thrown into the House. A Repnblican repre sentative also has a copy of this docu ment, and gave it to Ingersoll, who made it the basis of what was consider ed a hyberbolic statement in his New York speech. Wood originated and man ipulated the sfffair. He was always op posed to Tilden. Washington .March 30. Proceedings of interest to all settlers within the twenty mile limit of the California and Oregon Railroad have just occurred at the general land office. Some years ago, while in the House of Representa tives, Sargent procured the passage of a law dedicating exclusively to home stead and pre-emption purposes all land? in California within the railroad limits whenever they should be restored to the body of publio lands, they being when thus restored to the public do main prior to the enactment of this law, subject to private entry and liable to be bought in quantities without settlement. Sargent recently received letters stating that this law was being disregarded, and that homestead and pre-emptory settlers were having their lands taken away from them for the benefit of private en try purchasers. He at once called the attention of the general land office to this condition of things, and the result is that all such entries are suspended, with the exception of two which have been patented.and the register has been called for an explanation of his action allowing them. As soon as a.i official reply is received these entries will bo cancelled, and the parties to whom the oatents were issued be required to sur render them. The plain provisions of the law had obviously been overlooked in both the local and general land office. New Yoke, April 2. The Express says the secret of Hall s sudden depart ure is reported to us as growing out of a call for 100,000 as his part of the grand fund to be restored to the city. Hall, it is said, answered that he bad no such sum to pay if it was just to pay it. A report comes to us from Albany that a Senator who put through the Tweed charter to the tune of 200,000, will refund to keep his name out of print, and there is also a report that an other Senator received 40,000. There ar6 ominous foreshadowings in private circles here of otartlmg disclos ures to follow Tweed's release this week. It is understood his confession exposes no criminal act of the association except where the statute of limitation bars prosecution; nevertheless there is much sensation among the friends of parties whose reputations are likely to suffer Among these is a well known newspaper editor and publisher whose endorse ment will extiibited upon Tweed's check for many thousands to the journalizer'a order paid to silence opposition to ring legislation and buy votes. Tho story of Tweed's escape and wan derings is full of exciting and romantic interest. He disappeared December 5, a year ago, and was concealed bv pro fessional criminals, in actual sight of New York, and subsequently at the lonely burglars' rendezvous on Staten Island until toward tho middle of Feb ruary following. Thence he went to Florida, wbere he remained till mid summer, part of the time in the coast light house, whence he crossed to Cuba and thence proceeded to Spain in the vessel from which he was captured on her arrival. Weighing nearlv 300 pounds in his palmy days, he shrank to lG5,but is now rapidly improving. Your correspondent has authority for the statement that lweed has surren dered fc.ll his propt-rty and effects and made a complete assignment. Ho re fuses counsel, and has allowed his case to go by default. He has written to Chas. O'Coner that he does not intend to resist or oppose any suit that may be brought against him in the name of the people. Last Saturday was the last day of appeal in the great suit against him. There was an exhibition of the tele phone here this evening. A piano per formed upon at Philadelphia, 100 miles distant, was distinctly heard in Stein wav hall. New York, April 2. The World edi torially says the massacre of six China men at Chico is used to influence nub lie opinion on the Chinese question just as the massacres at the bonth were used to sway public opinion on the recon struction question, yet it is not easy to see now the Killing of these six men settles the wisdom or unwisdom of con- tinning the importation of coolies This murder should be regarded as the murder of white men, and punished in the same way. The political question as to whether any barriers should be offered to further immigration of China men has nothing to do with th Chico massacre, and should be decided with out reference to it. There is nothing to dread from Chinese immigration so long as it is voluntary. If there are men in Asia who acquire means to come to the New World and have courage and enterprise enough to prompt them to emigrate, they should be welcomed as emigrants from Lnrone are welcom ed as emigrants from Europe are wel comed; if, however, Chinese emigrants are gathered together by avaricious speculators and imported to this coun try under contract, and set to work by tneir owners in competition with Amer ican mechanics, then their coming must sooner or later bring strife and ruin. St. Louis, March 31. The sixth an nual directory of David R. Gould was isseud to-day. It shows a considerable increase of names, and, computed bv the usual rule, makes the population of the city 501,4S'J. It also gives the offi cial mortality statistics of all the large cities in the country, which shows St Louis to be the healthiest city, accord ing to the population, in the Union, the deaths here last year being only 7,890 We are informed that a meeting o: the directors of the city school was held last night at which the principal Mr. Worthington, was present, and that he declared in unmeasured terms that he would not teach another day with the present oorpa of teachers that the rest of the teachers must be dis missed or he would resign. We under stand further that he stated positively that he wonld not consent to an invest! gation of he circumstances of the case Certainly justice to all parties demand that a fair investigation be made by the directors. We think the public will be Katished with nothing less. State News. Coos Bay lias the Black Hills fever. The revival fever has struck McMinn ville. A billiard tournament is to take place at Salem.
