Postal Telegraph.
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.

En. Statesman : We are enjoying

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

Grand DuVo Aleris.
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.

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.

PTLLEI Ol T OF HIS BlHiTS. '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.

Death ot' JeEi-ii Waliki. Infor
mation was received by Mr. Dai-.
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.

One of Iii s most admired sketches, 1

into the baiTi when ho went there to
extract from the c tw- a little of the

morning's cup of enlfee. Forthw ith it
was trumpeted to all (pearlers of the
earth, wherever ncwiapers are print

the greatest lire cf modern times. That
cow. which had destroyed Chicago,
had a good pro-pect of l-eing a famoii

forfiinately. however, for her fame,
some prying ni.itter-of-fict reporter
for the daily press, couldn't lc sati-

need know all aliout it jut how it
hupiiened. Ac l'y being too iii'piisi
tive, anil insi-ting on too intimate an
aoiiai;taiice with the whole matter,
it liapiH-ne-d to him as it has happened
to many a seeker of know ledge before.
The bautiful story was knocked into a
"eiK-kid hat." and the cow. w hich for
some days had enjoyed the distinction
of lieing the author of the greatest tire
i:i history, was let abruptly .down to
the level of In r si-ter cow s, w ho are

"A reporter of lite VV'e.;, - c:d!eil
upon Mrs. Leary. of Xo. F!7 IleKoven
street, in whose barn originated the
lire which destroyed the city ot Chi
cago, on last Sunday night and Mon
day morning. It was the intention to
"interview" her regarding the cauc
(if the tire, and to ascertain all about
the win' which kicked oyer the
lamp." She stated that this story was
false; she did n; go into the barn with
a kerosene lamp; she did not know
how the lire started. She was asleep
when the alarm wa given, and was
awakened by a ncighlmr. who rapied
on the door and told her that her stable
was on fire. When asked how her
house, which is not even scorched, was
saved, she replied that there was a
hydrant on each side of it. and a hun
