We Lave oftcu been admonished to "pity the sorrows of the blind," and the pitiable and forlorn condition of the Democracy now-a-tlays calls up this choice aphorism, and awakens a degree of commiseration in our breasts which it ould seem almost impossible to con jure up in the lamentable wreck which has happened to the argonautic voy agers who started oft to pillage lle pnblicanism of its Golden Fleece, and dangle it in the belt of the Democracy, bat which unfortunately only succeeded in capturing the immortal Captain of the horse marines and his wife the Jeokses, a capture, which, owing to the nnamiablo and termagantic nature of the female- Jenks, they were fain to drop like a hot potato, happier to return to port empty-handed and encounter the jeers of the spectators, rather than to parade such insignificant rubbish in lien of the high game they were after. Never has there such a high tragedy performance so terminated in comedy. It is like the rendition of Hamlet by George, the Count Joannes, or of an ex position of the secret of perennial youth, by George Francis Train. The Potter Committee thought sure ly that John Sherman, Noyes, Mat thews, and about all the visit ing statesmen wero wriggling by the gills in their fish-net, and pos sibly the "accidental incumbent;" how intense and appalling, therefore, must have been their disappointment, when at the drag of the net, there came forth instead Mrs. Jenks, principally, but the dwarfed and insignificant figure of Ler husband alongside, and, as if to tantalize those almost driven to the verge of desperation, Mrs. Jinks did not cower before the "frowning provi dence" of the Potter commission, but looked them boldly in the eyo, laughed them to scorn, and was as playful and entrancing as a mermaid or a water nymph, and whose Circean charms almost won the committee away from their love of Democracy. The investi gation, although a farce, has resulted in laying the ghost of fraud, which the Democracy have so sedulously charged to our account. It is true we had hard work to overcome the assaults made on "Weber,Andorson,L.evissee and others of that ilk, by the plentiful offers of money made to them by the Democrats to over come their virtue, and in which they would have succeeded, had it not been for the strategy of Mrs. Jenks (as she avers) . The trace of Democratic at tempt at fraud and corruption is ap parent all through the net-work of chi canery, and skullduggery wh'ch envel oped their conduct from Oregon to Loaisiana and Florida. Grover had plenty of counterparts of rascality in others of his ilk in the South, guided by the luminariesjof Gramarcy Place, and the spectacle of the double dyed villians of that party attempting to fas ten guilt on honest Repnblicsns is met with the presto change, which, instead, gibbets the names of promi nent Democrats, and turns the guns in tended for the enemy into the party camp, and knocks the equipage of the party machine into smithereens. The virtue of the Republic does not wholly belong to the Democracy, and about all the latent rascality does. A LctcI Vass Across the Cascades. Scott and Atkinson must have im pressed the idea on the X. P. IS. IS. Co. that it is necessary, in order to success fully blackmail Oregon, to start a sur Teyiug expedition across tho Cascades to discover a perfectly " practicable route across the mountains," and so give tho Columbia river the " go-by;" accordingly the great bias cockalorum Chief Engineer Milliner Roberts has been sent all the way from Boston to pilot tho discovery party, and they leave Tacoma shortly for that purpose. Of course they will make an important revelation that the Cascade mountains exist in imagination only; that it is comparatively level, and a railroad can be built across it almost by "wind," and then if the Oregon Legislature will not exempt them from taxation, and give them a subsidy of two or three millicn dollar, -we shall have t! e dire consequences hashed np to us: how the Oregonian will be removed to Tacoma, gras3 will grow in Port land's streets, and Bro. Atkinson's con gregation go to tho devil, but he will go to the terminus, where the snort of the overland locomotive around those fir stumps of his will raise their value at the rate of a dollar per hour. Fare well to Scott, whose oleagenous pres ence shall exist as a " fleshly incubus " to scare Judpe Deady into compliance with his demands no moro. He will gorge that cavernous paunch of his hereafter on the clams, crabs and mussels of Pnget sound, and the "Willamette valley will no longer be called upon to furnish him subsistence. It means famine prices for our farm products, stagna tion in business, and universal ruin; and all because of Mitchell's persistent demands in the interests of Oregon, and blindness in not acceding to their present demands for blackmail. Judge Choate of one of the New York Courts decided a few days ago that a Chinamen cannot be naturalized under the laws of the United States. The Judge stated, in giving his decision, .which was upon the application of a Mongolian who had lived in New York twenty-eight years, that he was guided by the action of Judge Sawyer of "San Francisco in the Ah Ynp case, in which rK bel" t,.,at a. Chinaman was in eligible to citizenship because he wa3 not a white person or a negro, the Con stitutional amendment the African race not admitting any other than such, and wiutoa who were already eligible. The Hoodlum. Oregon is not behind California! in tho growth of a hoodlum element iu our midst, which is continually becom ing more lawless and aggressive. One desperate deed is the incentive and stimulus for another "more daring and reckless, until the youthfnl offenders ! become educated np to the condition of a desxerado, and ready for any deeds of outlawry, regardless of consequences. Much, if not all his, is directly trace able to tho want of parental authority and control; and the father or mother have more to answer for at the bar of judgment than the child. Tho bitter chalice will bo visited to their own lips for the want of tho proper and natural instinct which ought to incite every pa rent to bring np thoir children in the way the' should go. They owo this not only to themselves, but the com munity. Tno turning loose of a cut throat on a community ought to be canse for tho indictment of tho princi pal malefactor the parent. Ho should bo made to sulfur for the burden and expense of a drone on society, rather than that tho State should have the bur den of the scape-grace on its hands for the final judication. As the commence ment for reform, we would advise every parent to go through the person of their hopefuls, and if they discover among the effects a plug of tobacco, a pipe, a pack of cards, a pistol, a dirk, or a slung-shot, they may be suro the foundation for the genus hoodlum has been laid, or carried to final perfection. The remedy in most cases, would bo an introduction into the back yard, and a half-hour's application of a clap-board persisted in until tho signs cease. Of course, not ono in forty to whom thoso presents are sent greeting, will take our advice, but even if so many will obey our injunction, there will bo rejoicing in Heaven at the hope of one hoodlum saved, or put on the road to reforma tion. The wild boy of twenty years ago was very different from his proto type of to-day. His highest.rflight of audacity never transcended the robbery of a hen-roost or ater-melon patch, or the changing of signs or olevating wagons to church steeple3. Ho was not a drunken, obscene braggart, flaunting his wickedness in the faco and eyes of the community, but pursued his evil intent ic a furtive and clandestine man ner, and never beyond tho reach of final repentance and reform. Civilizing influences finally made a mau of him, but the modern hoodlum is unscathed by such a happy reform; he goes from bad to worse; nothing short of the pen itentiary orHhe halter causes him to stop short in his reckless career, and to turn possibly in lime to save himself from the inevitable. We very sadly need a.reformatory school a State in stitution for juvenile offenders, and which would do 'more towards regene rating the hoodlum, and checking tho hoodlum tendency than anything we can mention, except energetic parental control. The coming Legislator who will devise puch a law, and clothe it with the proper function to gather in lawless Arabs of our land for reforma tory control, should be ranked along with Itobt. Ilaikes, the founder of the Sunday-school, as a philanthropist do- serving of high honor and reward. We call upon some ono in our Clackamas delegation to formulate such a law mod-" eled after tho style of the reformatory institution ot San Francisco. Have it located at Oregon City if possible, as our bluff will furnish abundance of building stone for the genus to work out, and there is no danger of tho stone giving out beforeho extinction or tho hoodlum. Tho Standard man, not wishing to give a fair statement of our article on Restrictive Legislation for fares and freights, attempts to throw mud at an imaginative editor of the Enterprise, who is rolling inwcalth acquired through excessive transportation charges, but who now being satiated, wants to"pre vent any one else from doing likewise. The rich man of the Standard article is a myth, and exists only in imagination; but the reasons why the avariciou3ness of the O. S. N. Co. should be curtailed and limited by law to fares and freights no higher than is charged by the O. & C. R. R. Co., whose investment for an equal distance of transportation line is ten times greater than the O. S. N. Co.s, is a live, patent and vital aotuality, and as such, ought to be treated by the Standard man with the importance it deserves. The influence of the Stand ard and Oregonian, however, is directed as allies of the O. S. N. Co., and not a ray of light through their in strumentality, shall be made to illumino tho benighted minds of their readers. When they want figures, the Oregonian get3 Bro. Atkinson to launch out two columns of statistics on matter as foreign to tho vital interest of the country as the Saint's Rest is to a Thug, and coming from such a source, operates as a seda tive on the minds of its readers, and they go to sleep with the thought that as long as Bro. Atkinson is at the helm, he will care for thoir imper iled interests. We believe the influence of tho Standard, Oregonian, and O. S. N. Co. combined, cannot be cloud the minds of our Legislators, as to tho necessity of restrictive legislation and the benefits that will accrue to the upper country by it enforcement. Whoever votes against a proposition to restrain the present unbridled license of the O, S; N. Co. will be found to have the money of that corporation, present or prospective, in his pocket. General Butler has formally an nounced his allegiance to the national i party. This gives that young organi- j , zation a representative on the Potter The Turk Kedivhus. The European difficulty has been patched up at Berlin, where, uuder the direction of Prince Bismarck, Turkey was pretty well carved up for the bene fit of Prussia; Austria, Greece and the little principalities formerly sub- iec the Sultan; so that what is left of Turkey m Lurope, is a scope of country no langer than Washington Territory, with a pop ulation of six millions. We believe that the Turk cut loose from the dis cordant and jangling elements that hung on his frontier, while the faction ists and religious fanatics of all shades made the whole Empire a pandemo nium, will now enter on a brighter ca reer of prosperity and peace. The Mussulman is not the cut-throat adverse religionists would make him out to be, and his inclination went in the direc tion of bettering the condition of his subjects, but tho task is just as difficult for a Mahomedan to rule over Chris tians as it would be for one of a sect of Christians to attempt to domineer over tho rest of the sects in our laud. The Turk still holds the throttle valve of Western Europe in the possession of tho Dardanelles. It is the grandest strategic position in the world, and Rus sia would give half of her empire for its possession. She hr.s made a vast stride toward it, but will now, that there is so little remaining, receive prompt check mate from England in any future at tempt against the integrity of what is left. Indeed England acquires tho Island of Cyprus from Turkey, with tho definitely annonnced policy in view to resist any further encroachment of Russia; so the sick man, with Eng land for a wet-nurse, will take another long now lease of life, and the depart ure of the Mussulman from the soil of Europe is a matter that will agitate the statesmen of tho twentieth century, as it has the four or five preceding it. Tho Crescent yet flaunts its black shadow athwart the standard of the Cross, and tho call of the muezzin from the minareta of the mosque yet is heard in the land which gave birth to the author and diviner of tho Christian faith a religion which antagonizes the Moham edan in almost every essential particu lar, but both of which have love, charity and fellowship for the foundation stone. It would not bo strange if, in tho courts of the hereafter, there should be found, upholding the four corners of the can opy over the Great White Throne, a Christian, a Mahoniedau, a Budhist and a heathen, each as bethought him. best having gainod tho goal by Good Works. Between now and the 1st of January, says the N. Y. Times, some sixteen mil lions of "standard dollars" may be ad ded to the seven millions already lying in the Treasury vanlts. The iiso of the minted silver in payment of silver bul lion cannot check tho irresistible gravi tation of the Standard dollar toward the National money-chest. The seller of silver bullion, of course, takes his dol lar to the only profitable market ho can find -tho importer, who can use them in payment of dnlios. Tho greater tho number of them which como into the market in this way or what is pretty much the same thing, the greater the number of silver certificates secured by their deposit tho moro slender will become the stream offgold flowing into the Treasury. When the premium on legal tenders disappears, even that mar ket will be closed to tho "standard dol lar," and tho Treasury will bo compelled to use it for the payment of current ex penses, or for the redemption of bonds. It will then and then only be ready to play the part in damaging public credit, and driving gold out of the country, which its opponents marked out for it, and for which the fanatics and dema gogues who were responsible for its creation should be held to a very strict responsibility. In the form of an interview with the Washington correspondent of the N. Y. Times, Senator Windom gives a very able and convincing exposure of the hollowness of the Democratic pretense of retrenchment in National expendi- ptur69. The appropriations of this year aggregate twenty-eight millions and three-quarters more than those of the closing session of the last Congress, and the test of actual experience will show that the average expenditures for 1875 and 1S76, provided for by the late Republican Congress, were some ten millions less than the average already established by this Congress. The boasted saving of forty millions is shown to have been nearly wiped out by over thirty millions of deficiencies, and under Senator Windom's trenchant and careful analysis, the whole fabric of Democratic "economy" falls to pieces. He defends the Senate against the charge of aiding and abetting the extravagance of the House, and proves, at least, that the extravagant appropriations for which the Senate was responsible were for purposes decidedly moro important than those on which the House pro posed to waste millions of public money. Brother Carter, the State Printer re turns from Yaquina, but annonncos that for several weeks past he has not been at the editorial bellows, on ac count of ill-health, nor is he yet able to assume his place. Those wild intellec tual flights which we have had occasion to remark upon, therefore cannot be laid at his door, for which we are pleased. It would grieve us to see that acquiring the best office in the gift of the people in tho State should mark the date of his degeneracy as a writer, and his sagacity as a man. We hope his return to the tripod will put the Gazette onoe moro in line with the ex- Tilnr,1. .U wlV nnthin hnt removal from the atmospnere 01 uor- ! vallis can eradicate. r uuutti-rai of BAKjttorr library, UNIVERSITr OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY. CALIFORNIA Trouble Fomenting. The whole Upper Columbia Country is in a Stato of turmoil and agitation, caused by a want of systematic treat ment of the Indian uprising. There are thousands of peaceably inclined In dians in that section who aro looked ' : l . . r . . - nnl n TTnccum "fun im jxiian usb by the whites, and whose suspi cion, and want of confidence estranges them from each other, and will ulti mately result in driving them into contest with the whites. Unfortunate ly there is an element among the white population that is willing to foment trouble, and plunge the whole country in general war into order that they may depredate on the Indians possessions, both of lands and stock, and it would not be amiss to turn a part of General Howard's armanent against this class of whites as well as at tho hostile savages. Every friendly Indian in this emergency should be made to feel that his position is appreciated, and he should be court ed rather than scorned; for a general ujrising of the Indians of the;; Upper Columbia means tho wiping out of the dawn of civilization just emerging from the twilight there,2 .and a return to darkness, desolation, murder and strife for years to come. We say tho insult and abuse 'of well disposed Indians is leading to this result. The Sunday schpol warrior,Capt. Wilkinson, patrols the Columbia; and seeing Indians driv ing cattle and horses across the river, without inquiry as to whom theyare.and what their object is, fires into them and commences a wholesale slaughter of an imals. If the fool had used ordinary precaution and inquiry'he might easily have ascertained that they wero friend ly IndianC endeavoring to get their stock awayj from the expected hostile invasion. Major Kress was guilty of the same imbecility, and we presume some champions will be found ;to ask for their promotion, on the ground of their daring fight with Indian ponies the brave Captain with his whiskers, who successfully vanquished a band of In dian ponies. So, too, a volunteer cap tain in Idaho sneaks upon some Nez Perce scouts, who, with their white friends, aro sitting about a camp-fire in civilized dress, and kills two of them before the lunatic can be made to un derstand that thoy aro friends, and not foes. Tho Umatillas, whoso interest and inclinations are all with the whites, aro treated almost as enemies, although they have done the most efficient fight ing against the hostilos so far. Moses and his band are continually maligned, their motives disparaged, and their action misconstrued, and, while wish ing to be friendly, and protesting a good heart, all tho while is made tho victim of suspicion and mistrust by tho very whites whose essential interest it is to keep them friendly. So, too, the foolish scare of the Oak Grove settlers was, and is, calculated to create a mis trust of tho Warm Springs Indians, whose tum-tum has never wavered in affection for the whites; and nothing will drive them to opposition against the whites but continued insult aud contumely. Tho Indians of tho Upper Colutub'a know to a man that ultimate death and destruction is their inherit ance for aggressive waifarcagainst the whites; and consequently tho most powerful motive is at work day aud uight to make'tliem friendly, but if he sees that his protestations aro without avail, and that ho is to bo killod any way, desperation makes him do what any other person w ith a spark of man hood in his bosom would under similar circumstances turn against his in tended murderers. Now it must be re membered that thcro aro whites in tho Indian country who have been nursed in the idea that it is the duty of an Indian to die, and they can see no dif ference between a friend and a foe, if he is of a swarthy cast, and it will bo a miracle if their outlawry does not re sult in a general uprising. Wo have re cited wrongs done to every friendly tribe already; continue them, and the Indian, in a last general uprising, will go down to death doing all the damage possible, and, obeying the divine in junction, will take "an eyo for eye, and a tooth for a tooth " until the final quietus; who but would do the same thing under the same circumstances ? Wo say, therefore, that it is the im mediate duty of the military to enroll all friendly Indians, clothe them in uniform and put them under liberal pay to resist the advance of allhostiles. Bestow confidence on them, confide in them, trust them to do their duty. They know that the fiat i3 sure that resistance to the pale faces means a hunting to death, and the motive to re tain their lands and flocks, to raise their families, and to avoid hunger, thirst, persecution, outlawry and death, makes his incentives incline to peace with the whites. It is easy to hold him as an ally, but all the steps so far havo been directed to make him an enemy. Court martial should await the pony-warriors whom we have mentioned, and death the Idaho Captain. We should teach the Indian that we hold the lives of our friends at the same value, be they white or red. Let the next unprincipled cus3 who foments a scare without reason, bo tarred and feathered, and sent out of the country. It will save thousands of dollars in money value to thus head off unnecessary alarm. For a neighbor hood or community to flee en masse, ard leave their homes, barns, crops and stock open to spoliation, invites pil lage, and we believe an unprincipled white could be found every time to match a villainous Indian in a raid for pillage through an exposed and aban doned district, so similar aro the in stincts of tho depraved. Let it be re-1 membered that there are other fiends j and cut-throat3 besides Indians. I r- Territorial News. The Olympia and Teniuo Railroad will bo completed this week. Boise City is to have a "sorghum" mill. The first in.the Territory. W. P. Chandler, Idaho's new Survey or General has arrived at Boise City. The constitutional convention at Wal la Walla closed its labors last Saturday. Tho average yield of wheat in Klicki tat valley this year is estimated nt 25 bushels per acre. Victoria pajers report u project on for the construction of a narrow gauge railroad from Sumas, B. C, to Belling ham Bay, W. T. The track of tho Olympia railroad is now laid two-thirds of the way to Teni no. It is expected to be finished before the end of this month. The contract for carrying the mail between Port Townsend and Victoria has been let by the Canadian postal au thorities to L. M. Starr. The service will bo performed at least twice a week. Tho new penitentiary at Seatco, W. T., has been completed and accepted by the commissioners, aud Sheriff Billings will put his prison ers in their new quarters in a few weeks. The Seattle Coal and Transportation Co. has purchased the ship Great Wes tern, uow loading at New York for San Francisco. The ship Templar, also loading at New York for the same port, has been sold to the samo parties. The Republican Committee of Wash' ington Territory havo called a Terri torial Convention, to be held at Van couver on the 9th of October, to nomi nate a delegate to Congress. This leaves less than four weeks between nomination and the election. Arrangements havo been fully mrfde at Victoria for the grand naval review and battle on the 3rd of August next. The course lie3 in full f-ight of Beacon hill, where a grand view will bo had. A rifle tournament is also on tho tapis for the occasion, and an invitation will also be sent to the Seattle teams. Wm. Turnbon of Palouse City was driving a team the other day up a steep hill. He stopped to let the horses get their wind, when the wagon ran back over a block placed behind tho wheel, and wagon and horses together went buck ward over a precipice fifty feet high. Tho driver jumped and escaped, but both horses were killed and the wagon reduced to splinters. A decision has at last been reached in the Wasliington Territory Supremo Court affirming that recent congression al legislation not only established the validity of the Seattle-city charter, but legalized all acts made under its pro visions prior to the passage by Con gress of the bill referred to. This settles a multitude of troublesome questions, the most important of which is the one concerning the collection of delinquent taxes. The Treasury Department has been informed of a curious working of the silver law. Farties in San Francisco have been in tho habit of exchanging gold dollars for silver doPars, and then obtaining silver certificates. These thoy send to New York, use them in payment of customs, and thus save the handling or transportation of gold, and in this way have beeu enabled to trans act a considerable and profitable busi ness. After tho 1st day of September next the present bankrupt law will cease to exist, except for the purpose of com pleting proceedings already commenced Up to that period, however, petitions may be riled and proceedings conducted to a conclusion uuder the present Act.
