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

Hill, "Adios!"
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

proud of this testimonial as to results

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

"March 25th, 1877.
EnfroB Enteepf.isk: It is now over
two months since I left the bright faces
of wife and children, and other dear
friendsto try to make money and lift
myself out of debt, and returning, meet
mv friends with a smile, and receive
those congratulations which always
greet the successful, but never those
who fail. I have had a hard trip. I
. i . ; I, frtrhra rf iVifk
am now mooriua iu " -
Santiam, and am at the present moment
stopping with the non. "ft m. Cyru,
Master of the State Grange.
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
irs.1 s,iep uas been taken, aud the coun
try will say, Well done!

CHiCAGO.March 28. 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

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.
