ShallWe Seep Faith)
Democracy Is constantly asking the "hard
Hated" voter the question, ""ate yon willing
to pay the bondholder Ms Tall price !" at
tbe same limo represrtifthtt that the bonds
he holds only costs htm Totty cents in gold
on the dollar, which was only- the case with
a fmall part of fire bonds. Then again
the question U pat to the soldier, "if it was
right to pay yvn 6ST in greenbacks, why not
also pay ofrnWbonds in greenbacks!" These
are plausible questions and Democratic
opbiatry fxbausts Itself in ringing the
changes on them, and io urging a policy
that would be ruinous it followed, for it
cowld only end in repudiation, which wonld
make the United States of America the de-
rimon and scoff of the world. We have
national bonor to walnrain, tind the word
ce. thus used, does not include the Demo
crutic politician who rjrs practical repti
diation on Ihe people. The soldier who
enlisted generally receired a bounty, and
sometimes several, from Government. State
and county. There is no question as to his
pay, for the Government carried oat its
faith with kin honorably.
It is well evotiph that we ebottld consider
the facts as lo how, the bonds were issued
and who took them. At the present time
our bonds are appreciated abroad, and
there command the highest market price
In fact it U the value Upon them abroad
that increases their valne ; but it is well
. known that they commanded little confidence
abroad during the war, and it has been our
freqnent boast that the men and money to
carry on the war of the Union were raised at
home. When the day of trial came, the
American people purchaxed the bonds, no
9 much as a speculation as from a deter
mination to save the Government. The
banks ol tbe leading cities divided the
large loans among themselves, and r-cted
ns agent lor-the nation to secure the. aid of
the people. The bonds were transferred
from the banks to the hands of the farmer,
mechanic, merchant, and often the widow
invested her pare means in them because
she wished to do her part in the great
work.
As the war proceeded currency and
bonds depreciated and the bills of tbe best
banks 1n the nation, which before the war
had been redeemed with gold on presenta
tion, and were issued originally on a Fold
; basis, felt the same depreciation and were
j freely exchanged for greenbacks and are
yet, where bills are, not called in. This
; last fact shows (hat only those who bad
: gold and retained it for purposes of specu
; lation really realized the high premium on
It, and that number were few.
Of course this Ftate of things? worked a
hardship on many, and does yet, for capi.
tal stands ready to improve all such oppor
tunities to take advantage ol public or pri
vate necessities. The question as to how
mnch tbe national bonds cost tbe present
'holders la not easily answered, for these
bonds hava been almost as current and as
frequently exchanged as tbe legal tender
notes, and While the original bolder may
have realized bandsomuly by investment,
tbe present one may have laiely purchased
at the highest quotations. It is eaey for
demagogues to talk and for sophists to mis
construe . facts, and call it argument; but
tbe truth to that when greenbacks and
. bonds were lowest there was the greatest
danger in investment. Those who came to
the rescue of tbe Union cause in that emer
gency, did tp upon a specific promise, and
only a repudiation will consent to a breach
of it. Let us suppose, however, that the
Democoatic scheme is carried out that the
bonds are cancelled by an issue and pay
ment or currency how could the eountry
use four times as much currency as is now
' in circulation? And if such an over issue
was made what would currency be worth ?
We have tbe history of continental curren
cy and French ass'unats to show that when
currency is issued in excess of the wants
of business and made irredeemable it is
' valueless ; but that is exactly the way tbe
Democracy desire to effect their pel scheme
of repudiation. " -
The , Democratic papers of Oregon tre
bold and open in desiring repudiation in
any and every shape, and the more of it
the better. If any think we do them injus
tice by the assertion we pause for a reply.
In tbe meantime the late decision of the
Supreme Court comes in to fix the legal
tender note question, declaring that such
issue is wit bow justified by publio exigen
cy and Is not longer legal. We commit the
whole matter to the good sense of the
people. The question is, shall we pay or
repudiate the national debt ! and we pro
pose to make that issue prominent in tbe
present campaign as Democracy can desire
Trtasnry Jirport .We bare received from
Hon. F. E. Spinner," Treasurer of the United
State, a copy of his annual report. Most of
the figures of interest have been published at
different times, but we found the statement of
the Government finances to bo clear and comprehensive.'-
One noteworthy feature of the
pablie business is seen ia tbe fact that, out of
a total of $624,747,829 reoeired during the
year, $403,123,315. or over two-thirds of the
amount, have been paid on the National debt.
The staking fund is fast coming up to a con
siderable importance. The amount in that
fund has reached an aggregate of $891,000,
Including bond of $1.00 donated by W. P.
Fetert. Among the items of receipts are $113
991 81 eoncise money, in sums of from one
cent' apwsrdsj $1 09,743 84 profits on ex

for until the present administration ;'$22,7S7
from tha sale of specimen currency, that is
sheets ol psper damaged and printed on only

used as samples. The item of corrcsponilcnce

The Darien Canal,
The opening and euccessfsl operation of
the Suez 0nlhire infftsexl new light Into
the project for a -caat across the fetkiouslj
ol Dairen, and there is every reastM t be
lieve that a jwcdable route has been dis
covered fcy a French engineer, thekighest
point on which is only 56 meters, or about 60
feet above the sea level, requiring excava
tion for 66 miles, the whole distance from
ocean to ocean being Jess than 120 miles,
and the entrance at th side being favor-
uble. The expanse ts estimated at seventy
millions of dollara, and the Government
of Colombia proposes to apply for a loan
to leading apUHsts of the world and
construct tbe work, which, it is claimed,
can re Isaisbed within Eve years, the con-
strtrctmw of the Suez Canal having afforded
valuable experience to facilitate it. The
impcrtance of this enterprise cannot be
ovcivomuaieu. i ne people ot this coast
are especially interested in whatever tends
to increase the ease and lessen the cost of
transportation. If the Government of Co
lombia can construct and own the canal,
holding it ns neutral power for the benefit
of the world's commerce, the arrangement
might prove safsfactory to all and bene
ficial in the highest degree.
ItKifmATios. How much good it would
jdo the Hon. Wni. Mungen if he could tear
.himself away from the evil influences of
.' Washington life, when his able speech, fla
'Voring of repudiation, only called out one
single endorsement some two weeks after
be was unanimously voted down, and could
be wafted on tbe wing of tbe winds, per
haps of the very breeze be kicked up by
his able speech, over the expanse of val
ley, mountain and desert that separates
hint from the congenial Democracy of Ore
gon. However hardly be may feel because
our distinguishel Representative failed to
second his argument in favor of repudia
tion, by either word or vote, he would find
entire congeniality with the Oregon press so
far as it is Democratic. Tbe italicised ut
terances of the Herald would be a balm
for bis wounded spirit, and we have no
doubt he would gladly resign the seat he
tries to fill in Congress to come hither and
cultivate a sentiment so alter bis own heart.
Come on Mungen. for not only will the
Herald welcome, but the Press will ap
plaud ; the Democrat will congratulate ;
the Guard will stand by you, and the Xeics
will be good to you, while the Tolk county
Tunes, unless it changes hands or becomes
too tight lor utterance, wilt go its pile on
you. We do not really see bow Mungen
can stay away.
The Siccesok of Jekf. Davis w the Sex-ate.--The
Ohio Times and Conner vative of
January 22d has the following in regard to
this individual :
Revels, the new Senator from Missisippi.
came here in the fall of 18fi5, and took
charge ot tho church in this city. He was
considered a very able man. He is a man
ol fine presence, of excellent sense, of good
business qualifications, and an eloquent
speaker. Tbe Missouri Annual Conference
sent bim from this charge to Louisville,
where ho remained one year, when he was
transferred to the Louisiana Conference,
under Uishop Shorter. Ilis present resi
dence is Natchez. At the recent elation
he was elected State Senator from tbe Fourth
District, receiving a majority of 3,186,
while Alcorn, for Governor, received only
2,400. He is a man of genuine courage,
and will not consent to be maltreated or
ignored by persons of any variety of color
or caste. It will not be prudent to snub
him in the Senate, either on the ground of
color, of being a carpet-bagger, or for in
tellectual inferiority. We have letters of
bis before us. The handwriting is excel
lent, the style good, and the spelling inva
riably correct and they are very much
superior to the letters written by the two
white men who were re-elected to the Sen
ate from Kansas.
The question will arise in the Senate when
Hevels presents his credentials, if he has
been a citizen nine years, as tbe Constitu
tion prescribes as a qualification for a seat
in the Senate. If tbe Dred Scott decision
is valid, tbe negro was not a citizen. Validi
ty of that decision must be tested before
the Senate when Revels applies for bis seat.
The leading Democratic journal which
cannot understand the use of an election
fund, though it is only two years ego that
it was kept alive through the campaign by
the liberal and fair use of such a fund to
increase its circulation, is terribly severe
on Grant and calls bim "Sunday gambler,
liar and thief." Must we class the Herald
with that weak lot who use defamation for
proof, and tl.ii.k assert ion is argument? or
has it never outgrown that phase of bad
boyhood which climbs over the fence and
then gets even on some better and more
successful boy by calling bim mean names?
Calling bad names was never considered
an evidence of strong character, good man
ners or common sense. -
The Herald learns "that Gjv. Woods has
gone to preaching'' and suggests how be
ought to preach. It strikes us that the edi
tor ought to come and hear one such sermon
ns Gov. Woods could preach to him, and it
might be the means of saving bim from
being "red hot" here and hereafter.
" Although red hot enough to burn,
Tbe vilest sinner may return." I
A gentleman in Albany, N. Y;, finding he
was "spotted" by a couple of thieves, depos
ited $2,500 with a friend, and stuffed his pock
et book withjscraps of newspaper. Soon after
one of the sharpies asked him to change a ten
dollar bill, he took the greenback, and then
drear out bis pocket book, which the rascals
snatched away and decamped, minus ten dol
lars in currency.
A teacher in Manchester, Conucetiout, com
pelled a little girl to stand in one position for
six hours, as a punishment .for failing in a
lesson. This was on Friday, and on Saturday
the child's legs began to swell, the pain caus
ing her to become delirious, in which state she
died, trying to repeat the lesson which was
the occasion of her punishment.
The Herald professes to be -Red Hot,'
but after careful observation we have de
cided that it has reached a "white heat,"
derived from tbe natural constituents of milk
and water found in its editorials
The French gentleman who 'attended the
Empress Eugenie at Sues, was most gorgeous

A Mexican Land Scheme.
J. M Kirkpatrick, who used to live here
a"belVi "and was. atterwad. resident nf
ft mining regions of.Kastern Oregon and
Uwyhee, has been heard from in Lower
Mexico. Kirkpatnck was always a man of
enterprise and action, a great prospector
and considerable of a rover. He writes to
open to some of his old friends here, a
scheme for making money by investing to
purchase some of tbe old grants ot the
Spanish monarchy, ever so long ago, which
are as good title as can be made in Mexico.
When we knew him last he was traversing
the mountains of Eastern Oregon and Idaho,
searching for bidden treasures. Then he was
all for silver, and fioally, we believe, realr
ized something by having a discovery inter
est in the famous Poorinan Lodo of Owy
bee. Now he writes wit!, unbounded en
thusiasm of tropical groves, and orchards
of cocoa nut, palms, whe: e tho trees are
counted by tho thousand. The tract he
wishes to purchase contains jhreo hundred
thousand- acres, and would make a good
sized county ; one hundred tbousaud acres
are represented as excellent to grow tobac
co, cotton, Fiigar-cane, coffee, indigo, spices
wnd everything tropical, while the remain
der grows mahogany, Spanish cedar and
snch like valuable timber. A navigable
liver courses through this tropical garden,
which can be navigated for three hundred
miles, and leads up into mountains, whose
gold placers are already discovered and
more waiting for discovery. Our friend
Kirkpatrick was always haunted by mag-
niScent plans, and this one seems so allur
ing that some worthy Oregon friends of bis
are raising a company to visit Mexico and
purchase tho territory in question, ot the
low price named. There is no certainty
that they may not purchase the whole Mex
ican Republic, with a revolution or two
thrown in, if it can be hud at the hamo rate
per square league. The description had
nothing; to say about mosquitoes, alligators.
monkeys, snakes, scorpions; or sharks, but
these are, no doubt, to be realized by a
smalt stretch of the imagination, and to a
certainty. Tho country to be purchased
has salt mines of great value, but salt does
not seem to save that property from going
at a very low figure. Tbe only objection
we see to the property is the size. It is too
big to fence in and not large enough to
erect into an independent government, and
then annex to ours.
Communication.
Ed. Statesman- : There is nothing wrong
in speaking out in meeting, or before meet
ing, and letting it be known what our opin
ion3 are. Hy comparing notes we may
somelines arrive at more nearly correct
conclusions. Th conclusion of Incog,"'' is
that our coming Convention must adopt a
"Free trade-' platform, if I can uuderstaiid
bim. To that I shall object openly and
above board. "Incog" says ' slavery" etc,
"having been taken out of politics by the
Constitutional Amendment," ete. we must
now consider commercial questions, which
have been to long in abeyance. I thought
it was tlie old Whig party of tbe North
mostly, with the Free Soil Democracy, iliat
have always claimed slavery to be a Nation
al curse. A large majority of the whole
people now admit them to have been right
in claiming slavery as a National curse.
The same persons, the same parlies, (if you
will read back a few years) always claimed
that the trade and commerce of our coun
try flourished much better, and that tbe in
industrial and farming persuits of the
country were more prosperous under a tar
iff which gave incidental protection while
it raised a revenue, than under a purely
revenue tariff. And Sir, if the last eight
years' experience of our Covert ment has
not as thoroughly demonstrated their claims
in this regard as it has in respect to slavery,
then I am sadly deceived in my comprehen
sion of results.
Why, Sir, in the commencement of the
war, soon after tbe Morrill tariff of 18G1 was
passed, our eminent Secretary of the Treas
ury at that time, now Chief Justice Chase,
(himself leader of the Free Soil Democrats
of the nation from 1854 to 1860.) said, in
answer lo Democratic bowlings against the
'high tariff." that if Europe did not sell ns
a dollar's worth of goods during the war,
we could well afford to pay the $100,000,
000 or $125,000,000 duties we might expect
to collect from $350,000,000 importations
(ordinarily), provided we save the purchase
money for the goods. He was right. We
pursued our course kept up the Morrill
tariff, and have since increased it very con
siderably generally as much as the Inter
nal Revenue tax which was, after 1861,
laid on.
Thetrreat increase of manufacturers, tbe
great prosperity of the thousands of com
munities in the vicinities of manufacturing
towns, and others brought near by rail
roads and other facilities, I think fully es
tablish the success of the present Revenue
Protective Tariff in the main. Tbe present
Congress, in fact every Congress past, bas
amended it more or les., and every future
will amend it as the exigences and experi
ence may dictate.
If "Iucog" doubts tbe prosperity of all
people rich and poor, but the poor espec
ially, in manufacturing communities of New
England, and it is the same in Illinois,
let him read the sensible letter of aS.,J' the
absent editor I judge, from Washington, in
the same number of the Orcgonian, partic
ularly where he says :
Throughout all the older States, includ
ing New England, New York, Pennsylva
nia and many others, tbe saving banks, the
depositories of the working people, never
contained so much money as now. There
is less poverty, fewer indieent and needy
people, than years ago. That well-rounded
assertion, so often made by mere talkers,
simply because it fills the mouth with vol
uble utterances, viz : "The rich are grow
ing licber, and the poor poorer," is only
half true in faet and totally talse in insinu
ation. Tbe rich, many of them are unques
tionably growing richer; but It by no
means follows that the poor are growing
poorer. Even in tbe older portions of the
Union labor was never so well rewarded as
now, and the workingman can bave from
his earnings now twice as many dollars in
tbe course ol the year as he could twenty
years ago.
Dut, Mr. Editor, I have made this artiele
too long already. I will only sa that I
object to any "Free Trade'.' planks in our
platform. Let ns ' hold our course'' anoth
er year or so, as President Grant advises,
then and by so doing, we may tntely say
we have peace." " ' . Pkoplb. - .

Those Premium Cups.
Mb. Emtok : Different ones are tryisg to
economize for the' State Agricultural Society,
and I don't see why I can not have a little
say as well as some others. At the last Fair
there was a silver cap offered as a prize. I
will quote from tho list of premiums for 1809:
A silver Cup valued at $10 will bo given to
every lady who is awarded six or more first
premium in classes 9 and 10." Now I would
like to know what that means? "Absurd
question, " you may say ; but hold on, we can
disagree on the most simple questions. Even
some of the wise ones at tbe bead of the Soci-
. icly have decided that one mnst hnrofix pre
miums in lino of the classes mentioned, to bo
entitled to a cup. Now, if they can put that
construction on that clause, they will deprive
several of their just dues ; onJ if that is what
they arc aiming at, allow me to suggest sonic
thing that will eave more money to the Soci
ety. Withhold theeup from all that have not
six premiums in each of the classes named;
fur instance, "if a lady gets six or more first
premiums, in clu.-'s nine, and not in ten, de
clare her not entitled to a cup. I would think
almost any one would put this construction on
that clause, before tbe one that tbe officers
have. But cither is absurd, and in my opin
ion, cannot be sustained by law or grammar.
Let the Society give the cup, or its equivalent,
to each one that took six first premiums in
classes nine nd ten, nnd they will tave their
credit, and will not disgust those who have
articles to exhibit, and in the end will make
more money. This is tho opinion of an entire
ly disinterested Si-ectator.

of tho yield, but rough estimating puts it
at S 10 000 to the ton at tne very lowest,
The claim is now not more than forty feet
ileeo. and the deeper they go the more
there is taken out and the richer the ore
appears. Most of our old miners will not
believe the report without first examining
the ore, and then hardly realize the fact
that such riches can exist in quarl. Two
weeks aco Cowan, tlie original lessee, had
barely funds enough to purchase powder
to do the necessary blasting and not enough
to pay a man to help work the claim, but took
Battis in to help work it out and take bis
chances on half the yield. Battis is quite
satisfied now.
A Romantic Mketixc- There was n ro
