It swms that General Grant has rec ommended," in lils message to Con ' gross, that the postal telegraph system slinll be establislicd In tlie ' United States as it lias been In England, where it lias been found to work admirably, though wlien it first went Into opera tion we were favored by tlie private telegraph companies who were jeal ous of its success, with wonderful ac counts of tlie demoralization which re sulted tp business all thronsrti the United Kingdom from the inefficiency of tlie telegraph system under Govern ment control. It is true tiiat confusion was tlie result for a day or so, but very soon tlie plan was in full and success' lul operation and It is not easy to say what immense benefits the people of England have realized from -the ad vantages that arise lrom having clieai communication for business purposes by telegraph. This idea of having the Government purchase all the telegrapl lines, and combine the same, with the postal system, does not agree with tlie interests of the mammoth corporations which have absorbed all minor inter ests and so monopolize tlie business of telegraphy in the United States. AVe shall hear of a hired lobby and it may be that a liberal distribution of tlie profits, which ore enormous, will se cure the companies in tlie possession of the precious franchises for awhile lou- jter, but we hope to see honesty and lidelity enough manifested by the pctf pies' representatives at Washington to secure a fair examination of the Prel dent's recommendation and its ulti mate adoption. We are ia favor of clieap telegraphy and if Mr. Orion, President of the "Western Union Company, and the magnates of that corporation, don want fo sell to the Government, why. then, let the Government build its own lines and show whether the hi priced monopoly, with its well watered stock, is able to run the Government from the field. - We consider this attempt to secure clieap communication by telegraph as the introduction of an era in legisla tion which shall not pass away without yielding grand results. It looks now as if the corporations were about to become the actual monarehs of all they surveyed, and that their control would in time sweep land ahd sea. Railroad are in the first place built to fill a pub lic necessity, but in the next few years thev arc combined in immense strength to form a power which the people can not resist, ami which they must liter ally maintain by forced subsidies. This is causing alarm in many of the older States, and there is being real ized a need for legislation to check this jower of combination, but the next .move will lie to place these great na tional carriers under direct Govern ment control, or else to liave the Gov ernment literally own them and run them for the bet good of the people. There is much to be said in favor of having the great telegraph and railroad lilies owned by the Nation. By the present postal system post routes are established in new countries and past offices opened long before they can be maintained by the business there trans acted. So with railroad and telegraph lines, Government can own tlicm, and by pursuing the same system as above, can aid the development of new re gions, at least it could own the great leading lines and run them in tlie in terest of the people, and have private capital to construct branch roads. This is an age of progress, and also an age of reform, proved by tlie in tense interest the people feel in connec tion with great public frauds. If we can preserve tljiurity--of-ttH--balkitt and establish a civil service tliat shall not be made a reward for partisan, and most frequently unscrupulous ef fort, then the Government can be the friend and protector of the people and can be trusted to conduct and manage all things necessary to the public good. letter from Warm Springs. Wakm Springs Indian Agenct, Okkgos, Dee- 4th, 1S71. J En. Statesman : We are enjoying a warm rain, to-day, and the snow, that for some days covered the hills, has gone from our gaze. Supt. Meaehamls liere on an official visit, and the Indians ltnve been all gathered in lor the "waw waw For some time past, through the exer tions of Agent Smith, these people have Ixen trying to do away with their former customs, of buying their wives and having more than one wife. Some of the leading spirits opposed the idea, however, and it dragged very slowly. They come now to the school house, when there is to be a unity of heart and hand." and are made one after the "Boston's fashion," as they call it. A record of all marriages is made and kept at tlie Agency. We had three weddings during the month of November. On Saturday a talk was had with the ludians, and to-dav the Superin tendent made a direct appeal to their hearts reviewed the condition of their race, and compared it with that of the white race urged them to take a step up, to sell no more of tlieir children. in marriage, ana to do away with a plurality of wives, to adopt the white man's customs to do away with their " pow-wows" ami live like white men. In reply all the Chiefs, and leadinz men, said their eyes were open, that they would do -away with their Indian laws ami customs, would nave but one wife, would sell no more chil dren and would adopt the laws of tlie pale faces."

Some of our Oregon papers are con tinually sneering at the interest mani fested by the Government and the peo ple at the East in the visit of Alexis, Grand Duke of Russia, son of - the Czar of all the Kussias. In a Kenublican country it may seem an anomaly to bestow honors so freely upon royalty, and tlien again the carping sneere of hyporcritics mayjbe in especial ill taste. As for oursell as an individual we slmuld probably take as little j-nins to see tlie Prince as any of thoje gent, if opportunity was offered ; and to meet some man of genuine literary fame, or some statesman whose name had be come historic by force and power of mind would lie a greater favor than to shake any monarch by the hand. But Alesis is the representative of a great and distant nation and one that stands lieforc the world our friend. By all account? he is a modest, un assuming Prince, who wins general re spect by his hearty appreciation of the kindness our friends East show him. lie has paid us tlie compliment to come a long ways to see us and it is likely that his visit wtll cement the good will that has so long existed lietwcen the two nations. We feel like giving a hearty welcome to ary representative of royalty who may cboos to cross the wide ocean to take a homo look at our republican .in stitutions, and the progress Russia has made towards emancipation of her millions of serfs ei titles her to the re spect of Republican America. Perhaps there is not any country, in the world, which is making more sub stantial and rapid progress tlian Japan. It is rather surprising with what eager ness and energy progress is urged in that hitherto considered benighted and heathen land. The following from the Sacramento Union gives in britf shape the prominent facts in this con nection : The latest reports represent the court uages of the Mikado, of Japan, to be reduced to republican simplicity. The exehisiveuess of the sovereign and affectation- of divine attributes have disappeared. The. divine head of the nation h:is vanished altogether and the temporal ruler himself emer ges from his seclusion and becomes one of the people. He holds levees like a European prince or American executive ; he rides out in a carriage almost unattended, walks about tlie streets of his capital almost alone, and, if report be true, he kis published an order forbidding those who meet him from practicing those abject obeisan ces and formal ceremonies formerly required by law to be paid to authori ty. It is said he desires to walk out like other people. The effect upon the high dignitaries is electrical. Tliey follow tlie example set by the sovereign, and at once the people are put somewhat upon an equality. Castes are broken up. The Japanese mind is at once thoroughly progress ive. It is state 1 tliat there are already five colleges in Japan, containing from 1.500 to 3,000 pupils, studying the foreign languages and science, and more schools are lieing opened. The Government had long ago organized a navy department, and now a training school on board ship is to be commenc ed. A postal system is being carried out, telegraphs are erecting, competent Americans are organizing "agricultural and treasury departments and modern idea and customs are taking root with astonishing rapidity. We shall ex)cet soon to hear of Mark Twain lecturing in the Empire, Backus and troupe of negro minstrels delighting crowded houses of Japs whisky superseding sackee, and instead of the national harikari, the gallows conveniently planted in all parts of the country. Then will'the triumph of civilization be complete. Eastern Okegok. W, K. Dunlmr of the Warm Springs Indian Agency, furnishes us with the following weather record for the month of November: There were thiiteenclearvandseTen-' teen cloudy days. -'Very light showers -tf rain fell on tlie 3rd, 13th, 10th, 17th, and 20th, and a heavy shower during the evening of the 21th. Snow fell at intervals on the 25th and 27th. Mean temperature for the month 41 deg. the highest at noon on the 22(1. 70 deg., and the lowest on -the morning of the 27th, 10 deg. The highest mean was on the 22d, G4 deg., and the lowest mean on the 27th, 1(5 . deg. There was no fog during the month. Seven teen days the wind prevailed from the west, ten from the south, two from the east and one from the N. E. Heavy winds on the 10th, I2th, 13th and 23d, from the west the heaviest being on the 23d. The greatest depth of show was attained on the 27th, being about three inches in the Chitike valley. The Ailvttcttte in the last Issue says : "from ihc Statesman we learn that Rev. Mr. Knight, of Salem, lias opened some kind of a show, but wliat or why is not stated." The Statesman never said anything of the kind. Moreover, we gave several times particulars of Mr. Knight's collection of birds and an mals. We can regard the above as no more nor less than a contemptible sneer. Tlie Funded Loan in Europe. A dispatch from Washington this morning says: In consequence of re ports' which have been published in many papers throughout the country, the public have gathered very erroneous Impressions relative to the manner of conducting tlie business pertaining to the syndicate in Europe. It lias been said tliat the bonds iorwarded to Eurojic from the United States treasury have been consigned to Messrs. Jay Cooke, McCullocli & Co., and forward ed hi installments of flO.000,000 each ; wliereas not a single bond has been transmitted to Jay Cooke McCullocli & Co. direct. Every bond forwarded to Europe has Iteeu consigned and delivered to William A. Richardson, assistant secretary of the United States treasury, who has an office in London and a corps of experienced clerks un der his immediate supervision, w hose duty it Ls to deliver the new bonds as they are required, taking in payment therefor called bonds of 13G2 ; cancell ing, scheduling, and packing the same in iron safes for shipment and final redemption at the United States (treasury. No bonds are delivered by the government officers until lull pay ment is received therefor. We learn this morning tliat the treasury depart ment has received a dispatch from Mr. Rierhardson, announcing tliat seven millons of 5-20 had thus far been re deemed at the London financial agency from the proceeds of the sale ot now 5 ' per cents and that by the first of January the amount of '62 bonds cancelled would reach twenty millions of dollars. Tlie liegira of the Mormon Grand Sulta n from Salt Lake to St. George, Southern Utah. Is an event worth chronicling. He is acomanied by a regal polygamist outfit, which would do honor to a high-toued Turkish na bob, a Hindoo prince or celestial auto crat. The celebrated Mormon Legion furnishes him a squadron of dragoons mounted on fiery steeds, and the reve lation on polygamy tenderly arHirts him with a lialt dozen or more dutiful spouses w hose bright eyes flash elec tric consolation to lilssu-'eeptible heart The ciders in Israel meet him on tlie way with sanctimonious benedictions nnd.the "sisters" with onert arms.

The Khedive ha eahrvto live -qm. a nothing but his mere t ittance of UOuO.COO. Phenomena of The Chicago Fire. Mr. Alfred Terry, inspector of the Royal Insurance Company, communi cates to the -Montreal Daily Witness some observations ou the phenomena of tlie Chicago lire which, after all that has been written ou the subject, may be read witli interest. What most struck hi professional eye. was that "all tlie buildings left standing present on the upper stories sound ma terials whilst each succeeding down ward story shows a proportionately increasing destruction." On the wall of the court-house, some sixty feet aliove tlie level of the street, he saw erect a wooden Hag staff not even scorched: Passing on to the water works, he noticed that the glass lan tern of tlie tower, eighty leet liigli, had not a pane of glass cracked by the heat, while below, at the base of the tower, blocks ot sandstone, ten feet long by five feet wide and two leet thick, are so calcined and splintered into fragments as to be unite useless. It should be remarked, however, that thesj buildinirs had been tired by fly ing brands and consumed before build ings between them and the main con flagration had even been touched "The fact of the lire not ascending, to use Mr. Perry's words, was also ex- eiiiplilled in the remains of the ctiuivti of the llolv Name. This church --had its tower running up about 100 feet, and the spire had not been erected It had been intended to finish it thi- year, and the contractor had placed ins scallo'ditig on the toil ot the tower. and two of tiie four main corner Um bers had been place 1. These; two cor ner pieces and a iiortieii of i lie scat- fold 'remain apparent iv un-eosched, whilst the body of the church, its tow er, and the surrounding district are ruined, the verv cast iron lamia's st the edge of the sidewalk bvii:g melt ed." Another more nuestionat'ile phe nomenon which. he report is that, "in those streets where telegraph wires nui, the intensity of the heat destioyed stone and iron work much more com pletely than in those streets wh-re there were no wires."' Finally, the intensitv ai.il completeness of theco.n busfion were shown in (lie total :ilt- seuee ot smoke a fact w hich did not occur to the imaginative draughtsin of the illustrated iwipcrs.

Aw ap)eal is made to the lawyers to benefit the luckless Chicago members of the fraternity by contributing books. Mr Robert T. Lincoln, son of the martyr-president, lias written thus to a friend in New York city : "We law yers are entirely without booksl In addition to many fine private libraries, we liad a large one owned in common, called the "Law Institute of Chicago," on which the younger and poorer mem bers of the bar depeniled. If the law yers in each state would give to the institute a set of the reporters, etc., of their respective states, more good could be done the bar here than in any other way." Books, or money to buy books will doubtless be supplied to meet this serious need. American cheese is rapidly supplant ing English cheese in tlie English market itself. During the four weeks ending September 1st, 1.273.000 boxes of it were imported into Englaud, amounting in weight to something over 5,000 tons. It sells there at about 5 'd. per pound for tlie fine qualities!. which is 1 jd. less than the English cheese can be sold for, while it is said to be quite equal to tlie English cheese in quality, flavor and condition. Even the famous Dutch cheese suffer by the American competition.

'1 he other day Kiblinger made a pair of boots for an Irish gentleman wl-o called when they were finished, tried them on, found them a lit and undertook to walk off in them. Said the ljootmaker, "I want my coin.' Said the Irish gentleman, "you will get it someday," but the first insisted oti being paid in stantly, wlien the customer asked. "What are you going to do about U-j wlien I've got the boots on?" What the valiant Kiblinger did was to grap pie with said customer, throw him on the floor and strip his hoofs of those unpaid for boots. In this ere age it behooves a boeitmakcr to lie able to snake a man out of all such boots. Pktuees. Mr. A. T.

Waldo, on Sunday, of the death of his brother, Joseph Waldo, who left here last Spring for a visit to the East, in (endingto return and bring a sister with him. He was visiting a niece at Clarksburg. West Virginia, where, as the letter states, he was taken sick and di. d in a few day. Mr. Waldo was one of our old citizens, a man of kind-e-t heart and of true christian character, lie had never mairied but fir many years past had made his home on a farm six uiil'-s South of town 011 the stage road, with Litcien Fullertin to whose family !:: was much attached. Before leaving here he made a deed of that farm to Mr. Fullerton and left it with William Waldo to be given to Fullertin in ewe of hi; death. We learn that finding himself at. the point of death he made a will ilesignatinjr that bis property should lie divided as the law directs among his natural heirs. MatiV of those for whom the old man had kind words and to whom he extended a helping hand will re gret to hear that death has occurred to prevent his return. t'liM.KKT To-h:iit.

Here is a subject for reformers to consider. The ethics of loafing needs to be ex pounded, and the sin of inordinate industry to Ik denounced. Xo man has a better right, to kill himself by over-working. If suicide lie a crime, he who dies by putt ing too great a ti.-k upon his strength is as truly a criminal a lie who dies by putting a bullet through bis head, if a certain amount of rest and recreation is neeceary to a man's health and life, the omission to take it is a great an offence against God's law in nature as would lie the omission to take food, and death by willful starvation is 110 more an aet of self-destruction tlian is dtath by willful fatigue.
