Grover and His Instrument
Before sytlqgoot to cannvsstha State, I
Graver made, what he mist fcave-coosid-
red fall end taCcieotf reparation for the
defense of bit interests at borne. The p
per since know at Grover's Organ Wei
chartered fot be campaign by ao asso
ciation wfcro became responsible for the
expense Bush and Watkinds were seen
la tbe preliminary arrangement!, as we
were assured by a leading Democrat
John Fvklller declared to several, loci
Mentally tr positively, that be shoaldeoo
-Xroljitscolurans.and probably many others
WXre Interested to the extent of aiding to
subsidise and maintain tbe paper.
So much for tbe parentage of the sheet
that baa become infain-oua for Us vileness
aod obscenity. Its course is so utterly
re&less emd d-eptaved that its only in-
ftuenee is to -dlsgast the honest portion of
tbe Democratic party and strengthen Br
publican arguments, and it only e&IU for
.notice at our bands as representing tbe
interests of L. F. Grover, and" we shall
ever hold bim to a strict accountability
Tor the falsehoods, slanders and infamies
committed by bis "instruments and paid
for with bis money.
In oroceedintr. to unearth the vermin
who barrow in dark places, and from
nameless obscurity indite tb libels that
make Grover's Organ iofaaaona, we with
it to be distinctly QBderetood that they
only receive notice, as bis representatives,
and because we hold bitn accountable
and responsible for Ifaeir acts. They
might remain nameless, and rot in the
foal atmosphere they have created, only
that GroTer own? them and shall answer
for them.
It seems eowettohrg more (ban a farce
to waste wtrds in description and denun
ciation of W. H. Watkinds. Some men
are born with unscrupulous ability to
carry ot any V'n which can be made to
pay, and texme the natural instruments
of deatcniixr men who nossess as little
virtue bat more prudence, than them
selves. Eadowed with ho natural love of
' principle, and with abilities unhampered
by education and un marred by good as
Soclatroas, he became the most avail
able candidate for business manager"
of the association. Be iajof course, not
working without 4is price, and con
fidently expects and ncMoubt bas the
positive promise that ia case Grover is
elected he shall be Superintendent of
the Stat Penitentiary, For number of
years put Watkinds bas been occupyiqg
bis proper field of lab&i in tbe Demo
cratic party. Polk coanty bas for many
years been subject to bis agency as importer
of votes, and - be has sworn to carry it in,.
1870. x Her then we have the most unscru
pulous 'man in all this region, a&svcKng
forth as the only recognised agent of L.
F. Grover in bis absence. We claim that
a man is known by bis instruments, and
that Grover chose Watkinds to do acd
act for bim. j '
Hidden-away in the recesses of some datk
den who would be nameless but shall
not be so is the poor tool who para
graphs the lying infamies that disgrace
the civilisation of our city while they
aim to defame Grover's political enemies.
Ia this desperate stage of tbe fortunes of
Democracy, when even honor seems lost
by tbe avowal of repudiation, there was
need that some fitting instrument, aome
lost fool, some spirit'datnoed before ite
time, should lift no its voice from the

the shadow of its own perdition, claim
ing tbe while to be a teacher of Democ
racy. Ia cboesing the one'to 'make his
columns appropriately interesting, Gro
. ver did well, and in view of the.eteraal
' fitness of things be could not Lave cho
sen better. 0. O. Curl was ed oca ted un
der his own eye and gradnated from bis
own law office,- a favorite pnpil at that,
to win a name" that soon .became
both famous and infamous. As one of
the attorneys of Beal and Baker ,who were
". tried in the' spring of 1865, for the mur
'der of old man Delaney-, Curl stands b
fore the world, his" bands stained with
blood-money, and his soul perjured 'by
alertious before the Court that he be
lieved that bis clients' were innocent
-when be knew them guilty and had ia
large share of the murdered man's money
ia bis pocket. Beale k Baker were
banged, for the crime of murder, which
they confessed apon tbe gallows, and
they charged" that while tbey stole tbe
money fronr Delaney, Caton and Curl
toU it from them. At the trial we beard
this man Curl assert his positive belief in
the innocence of bis clients, and he de
nounced ana "of oar best citizens, a wit
ness for tbe prosecution, as having per
jured himself to swear Beale and Baker's
lives away. This ha did with tbe knowl-
edge of the murder, and after he had un
earthed and appropriated the money of
whlch tbeyhad robbed Delaney 'a premises.
Tbey imparted to him the secret of its
hiding, and he, ghoul-fike, unearthed it
after night. A certain wealthy man who
entrusted tha management of property to
them id bis. absence, complains that tbe
lame enterprising law firm embexzled
from $6,000 to $8,000 of bis money. As
tbegentiemaneferredtoiseow in this city
and is an active Democrat, we will refer
bim to tbe parties to whom he gave tbis
information, in cast he shall give it a de
nial. His career since that time bas been
such as could be expected of one utterly
lost and wrecked.-' Characterless, aim-
. less, a very Johsnite, he serves no other
purpose than to adorn and delineate the
principles of Democracy. - :
This Is tha Instrument chosen by Grover
to be hia friend and defender ia his ab
sence. Does be want this man, with
bloodstained record and perjured soul,
whoso handsjiave clutched a dead man's
, money, and robbed the murderer of bis
prey,-to stand before the world, as U
fruit of bis teachings 7, It s'aems so. It
is part of his publio record, that the
man who was foully ibeled by him before
a court of justice, fmpta tha mouth $hat
uttered tba Wsehopiri ; ; :.Jt : X
Wa have pictured these men as they
Stand before tha world, public and pro
fessed. We leave to them, untouched,
save by their foul words, the field of pri
vate slanders, and . for tha present, at
least, wa decline to pollute oar columns
with the recital of incidents of private
life that involve tha happineess of a
apbera we do not care to invade. It is

Tbe outrage consists of tbe fact that
Judge Wilson never said it. Be said that,
if trpated as the negroes have been, tbey
would in time " rise above their persecu

graphs from tba Statksmah in the same
way, and Je capable of doing and saying
whatever a perverted imagination and
corrupt heart can conceive. We have
not the inclination to enter the' depths of
degradation where it resides, to ex
excavate and shovel into day the false
hood and filth which it wallows in. No

Clerk of Linn coanty by the Democrats,
having concluded to quit work and nurse
his "political prospects, has, as we learn,
packed up his tools and leather and find
ings, and bad them all moved to the Court
Bouse. He says that a nomination being
equivalent to an election, he might as
. well en ve storage on his plunder by taking
possession of the office a few weeks
sooner. Be is a sensible man to stick to
bis tatt, for if bis duties get tbs r

he can do tbe pV thing he knows. If bs

.State of Oregon is most vitally interested.
Mr. Casierly, the Democratic Senator
from California, ' opposed tba bill in a
speech oMwo hours duration and it final
ly passed by a vote of 40 yeas to If noes.
The Democrats in the.8eoate either voted
no or were conveniently absent. Tbe Re
publican party is willing to endow, the
great enterprises upon which our prosper
ity is dependent, with tha means to ensure
success. The people of Oregon cannot
afford to place their trust in a party which
ia pledged to prevent their progress,
when aRepublican administration stands
ready to tavor us, and bas dona aad ia
doing so much ia our favor.

choppers besfdes. The large and well
built granary contains several thousand
bushels of wheat, stored to take advant
age of the rise in breadstuff's now pro
gressing. ,
Oa the creek below tbe flouring mill,
using the water of the creek as motive
power, are a planing mill with buzz saws,
a sash and door and furniture factory,
both owned by Davenpoit, Wolford k Co.,
two wagon shop, and a carding machine
Tbe town has three stores, two saddlers
shops, a drag store and a book store with
tbe post office. There are several, each,
of boot and shoe makers and blacksmiths,
a good hotel and several saloons. These
constitute a place of considerable import
ance. The social character of the place
is denoted by a good school bouse. It is
one of the best District Schools in the
county. Religious- services are held in
the old school house, almost every Sab
batb. Tbe meeting bouses ot tbeDistrict
are at Bethany and Abiqna, two and three
miles distant. There is a village of six
dwelling bonses, and new bouses and in
habitants are, of course, constantly ad
ded to the population. Silverton will
begone of the most attractive places in
the county, when Oregon gets the growth
of a few more years.
The McMiouville Blade, asks some per
tinent questions of W. T. Newby, Demo
cratic candidate for State Senator, and
we are waiting to tee his reply. The
people want to know just bow much he
collected on account of the O. C R. R.,
and of, jhat amount how much has been
spent in locating tbe road, and hownurb
Mr. N. has laved. Also information l?
wanted as to that gentleman's position
on railroads in general and tbe Astoria
and-McMinuville Road in particular. Tbe
people of that section will no doubt act
upon the subject, and tbey want to act
understandingly. One thing is certain,
tbe course of the Herald on tbe question
of railroads, will injure its party in Yam
hill and Washington counties as much as
one hundred voters.
Grqveb's Obgan.X The rest of tbe
Democratic party of tbe State, in dis
playing the ticket, place the name of tbe
Congressional candidate at the head of
the list, while the par excellence Grover
Organ hoists the ticket with tbe name of
Grover first. .We have before called at
tention to tbe-fact that the association
are running Graver alone; tbe rest may
take their cbayreaf the Salem clique sup

Mors Grekns. There is gome curiosi
ty ia tbe Democratic circles to know
what Bill Watkinds went bo hurriedly to
Portland tor Tuesday. Some say that
having exhausted the supply of green at
Salem in honor of Slater, and he having
trod them under foot afterwards, Bill
went down to negotiate for a lot to be
sent from California for use when Gro
ver speaks.. Others say that bis imports
, in Polk county are saearing they mut
have money or blood aad be has expedi
ted himself in search of catb. Our
opinion is that he is searching for both
greens and cash as well as for a campaign
speller.
Wist Sidb Railroad The success cf
tbe West-Side Railroad enterprise seems
to be guaranteed by the receipt of a telt-
gram by its friends in Portland, stating
hat the persons representing it East have
succeeded in makieg'a purchase of iron
and rolling stock for twenty miles of the
road. We are ia hopes to bears at no
distant day that work is energetically
commenced and material on the way.
It is an enterprise in which our State ie
much interested. We hope tbe road will
be speedily pushed up the valley, and
that Astoria will be brought into railroad
connection with the Willamette Valley.
This will be accomplished ia time, and
tbe sooner the better.
Jcdgs BoiSB. Tbe only time we bad the
honor to receive that "consumptive vul
tare, Curl," in this office, Judge Boise's
name was mentioned, and he astooUhed
us by pronounciegbima model Judge, who
commanded universal respect. Yet he
tries to slander Judge Boise in Grover's
Organ. Such as he can injure nobody.
., Toeir slander constitutes a good man's
s praise. Their praise is doubtfal, their
slander never is.
'Absence, at Utlverton, to attend the
public speaking and watch Mr. Slater's
improvement in grammar, is the reason
we do not give tbe public enemy more
particular attention to day. We should
not consider it fair or gentlemanly to at
tack a slight misuse of words in an oppo
nent, if wa had a decent example set by
Grover's Organ. Mr. Slater will please
consider that we follow its example 'bis
once. Be, like Dog Tray, suffers by be
ing in bad company.

Ahothib Ovissioi. In the biography
' of Mr. Slater in tbe Salem Pre copied
by tbe Portland Hearid, we discover no
mention of the circumstance that Mr.
Slater had vofd, in tbe Legislative As
sembly of Oregon, for David Logan, Eq.,
for C. 3- Senater. Mr. Logan has always
been a consistent Republican, and, as
Mr. Slater is the Albany Repudiation
platform candidate for Congress, it is but
right his old Republican friends should
be reminded that he is the Slater who
voted for Mr. Logan. Commtrtial.

Tbe crown prince of Prussia is getting
to have as bad a reputation as Wales.
He is said to have recently seduced two
young girls, who laid the facts before the
crown princess Victoria, and thereby
gave rise to a very unpleasant and stormy
srene. Victoria is even said to ha7e
threatened to leave tbe Prn&iao court en
tirely aod return to England. Tbe crown
prince took the reproaches with which
bis good consort overwhelmed bim very
philosophically, and is reported to go on
in bis licentious career as reckless as
ever.

The Sen. Tbe giver ot life and light
and beat is not going aa some has con
jectured it4 to fail us or those who come
after us without due warning. Amedec
Guillemin, tbe French astronomer, in a
work lately trsnilated says, in relation to
the cooling of tbe earth and sun.
We need bave no anxiety then, on this
point, nor the generations wbicb follow
ours for maoy centuries to come. Our
provision of light and heat is-assured for
a future, tbe long duration of wbicb we
are quite unable to estimate. Humanity,
as compared with the age of the earth, is
yet in its most tender infancy. "The pe
riod of time during which tbe earth nour
ished organized beings," says Professor
Helmboltx, is sull very short when
compared to tbe period during which it
was a molten rock. Bisbof's experiment
on basalt appear to prove that, to cool
down from 1,000 to 200 degrees centi
grade, our earth must have 350,000 years.
As to the length of time that has been re
quired by the original nebula to condense
itseii no tne tortn or our planetary syc
tern, it entirely defies our imagination
and all conjectures." Whatever tben may
be the extent of tbe fraction of time tbat
oar world wtllnjoy, ooe thing is certain,
namely, tbat it must be counted bv mil
lions of years. Tbe end or the world by
cooling and extension of tbe sun is far
enough from ns."
To Clean Paist. There is a very sim
ple method to clean paint which would
save our housewives a great deal of
trouble. Put some of the very best whiting
on a plate or dish ; dip a piece of flannel
into some clean water and squeeze it
nearly dry; dip the flannel into the whit
ing and apply it to the painted surface,
and a little rubbing will instantly re
move any dirt or. grease; atter which,
wash tbe paint with dean water,rubbiog it
dry with a solt rag. Paint thus cleaned
looks as well as wben first laid on, with
out injury to the most delicate colors. It
is far better tban using soap, aod requires
not mare tban half tbe time and I -bor.
Some Congressmen make a mean busi
ness of Interrupting tbeir collesgues dur
ing debate, so as to spoil the entire con
tinuity and force of what the speaker
may be saying. The other day, Knox,
Kentucky, was speaking,' and was inter
rupted with the nsual 41 Will tbe gen
tleman yield?'' He replied that be bad
not troubled the House with a speech for
three years, and thought he should bave
his say now uninterrupted. 44 Tbere are
some members here," said be, 44 who'
would bars stopped the sermou on tbe
mount by asking tbe Saviour to yield
to them." :
The hack from Fairfield, in Wayne
county, to Floridaa was passing a but by
the wlside, wben tbe passengers beard
acieama wftbin, as if some one was being

savagely at him, said : 44 We're having a
