Chairman lilsoculivo Committee of Domooratio and Cousorvatlvo Holdlora' and Sonora' of Laminator county, Let us Kayo Peace General Grant concludes his letter of acceptance with the words, " let us have peace." After having assured the Radicals that ho fully endorsed every word of the Chicago platform, and de clared that he Would have no policy of his own, If elected, ho seemed to feel that he was committing himself too deeply to their various designs, and with a twinge of conscience he cries out "let us have peace." Ho seemed to feel that the platform on which he consented to stand was not calculated to bring peace to a distracted country, and lie had al- • ready expressed his opinion that the party whose tool ho afterwards consent ed to become was the one great obstacle to a restoration of good will between the North and Smith. Thai under such circumstances he should conclude his letter by the prayer " let us have peace," was not surprising. What has prevented the return of peace? Who is it that has stood in the way of a complete and perfect restora tion of the Union? Who has kept alive sectional animosities since the conclu sion of the war? It is well known that the Radicals have had complete control of the gov. ernmont ever since the war ended.— With their two-thirds majority In both houses of tongress they have overruled the President on every occasion when they Chose to do so. They have been alone responsible for all which has been Ilona It Is their fault that peace does not now prevail, and it was well for General Grant to address to them the Imploring words " let us have peace!" But does General Grant suppose for a moment that peace will be re stored by carrying nut the Radical progratnme ? is he so utterly silly as to Imagine that good will and kindly relations between the- North and the South, Can be established while Congress persists lu subjecting the white peo ple of ten States of the Union to the enforced rule of a horde of barbarian negroes and a set of miserable, needy and unprincipled Northern adventu rers: Is that the channel through which powe is to comet' If (funeral Grant 18 I rue to the party whose tool he 111114 consented to become, he must, use all the power of the Government, If elected, to sustain tho negro VI .Hpotisnis which have been established by bayo nets °Ver . the Southern people.

Then will industry and trade flourish multi ; commerce will revive ; taxes will be lightened ; the burthene will be lifted from the oppressed shout• dens of lilts•; prosperity will revlet the whole land, and under the mild sway of a genuine peace the nation, taking a now lean on life, will move proudly for• ward In Its glorious career. The people not only pray for peace, but they Intend to work for it and to vote for It. The New Clerk to the Senate. Uorhatii, whom the Radicals have elected to take Forney's place as Clerk of the United States Senate, Is the same man whom they accused of defeating their party in California by his corrup tion. We suppose an honest man would be utterly out of place as Clerk to the Senate. Under anyone not a rogue the pickings and stealings of the Senators, the paying out of many thousands of dollars annually for kid gloves, pen knives, gold pens, silver pencil oases, photograph albums, lemons, curry combs, canes, pocket mirrors, combs, hair brushes, Turkish bath towels, and an infinitude of other things which are classed under the singularly unappro prialo head of stationary, would not be allowed perhaps.

The above Infamous order was issued long after the war had ended. It shows a readiness on the part of General Grant to put the most absolute and despotic restraint upon the freedom of the press, "Hostility to the Government or any of its branches" was regarded by him as a crime, and he deliberately proposed to suppress all newspapers Indulging in criticism. We are sure there is no In. telligent American citizen who will not agree that amen capable of issuing such an order is entirely unfit to exercise the duties of President of the United States. He would allow nothing to be published which might not agree with the mandates of his "loyal highness," and the boasted freedom of the press would no longer exist. But there is another order of General Grant, which shows how he adminiii• tered justice when he was in command during the war: _ _ . °HEADQUARTERS, 230 ABUT CORPX, DEPARTMENT OF TILE TENNITixRE, OXFORD, .Miss., December 17, 1802.

The " Jews, as a class," will have to look out if General Grant should be elected or he might order them out of the country with the same sweeping harshness that) marks the above de• spode order. But, Mr. Schuyler Colfax has a plat form of his own quite as distinctive and charming as that of General Grant. In 18i4 he took tLc following oaths at South Bend, Indiana. "vinsT nimann" AM A ntsiow-NoTittivo. " IA the presence of Almighty God and these witnesses I do'solemnly promise and swear that I will not vote, nor give my in fluence, for any man for any office in the gift of the people, unless be be an American born eilfzen, in favor of Americans ruling America, nor if tt Roman Cat/toll," " SECOND M.:OB.11r." . . "In the presence or Almighty clod and these witnesses I do solemnly and sin cerely swear, If it may be legally door, will, when elected or appointed to any offi cial station conferring on me the power to do so, remove all foreigners, aliens or Ro man Catholics from office or place, and that I will in 710 rase appoint magi to any ogler or place in-my gift." Mr. Colfax has undertaken to flutter the foreign element since his nomina tion for Vice President, hut the oaths he took In the Know •Nothing lodge are the beet evidence of his real position. Such aro some of the antecedent s -- and only some—of the Radical eandb dittee, ((rout. Ilnd Colfax. The Negro Itlotti In WWllngton. Elsewhere will be found an account ol• the terrible and bloody negro riot Id Washington city. On the day of elec tion white men were prevented from depositing their votes byorganized bands of armed and brutal blacks, and when ever one of their own race was suspected of voting tho Conservative ticket, he was set upon, abused, beaten and driven front the polls. When it was declared that by a recount, believed to have been fraudulent, that the I tadleal candi date for Mayor had n majority, armed bends of negrous appeared Ina proees• mion, and being infuriated by Incendiary harangues from John W. Forney and the Radical Mayor, they proceeded to murder white men, and to commit the grossest outrages upon the persons and property of unoffendiug and peaceable citizens. No white man dared to:express his political views in the hearing of these black miscreants, and a cheer for the Conservative candidate cost Its ut terer• his life. With razors and other unusual and horrible weapons, white men were deliberately murdered by negroes In the streets of the National Capital. This is the direct and legitimate re sults of that radical reconstruction of the South, which constitutes She plat form upon which Want and Colfax expect to be elected. Let the people read the account of the all'air which ap pears elsewhere, and then let them re• member that this exhibition of what may he expected from negro rule took place In a city where white men are largely In the majority, and where the presence of a strong military force oughtlto have been aufficient to deter them from such outrages. If negro suffrage producca such that fruits in Washington city, what will be its full harvest In the far south? Let Conservative Republicans think of these things when they are solicited to vote for Want. Repudiation In the matter of living issues, the Jacobin party carefully excluded all of ideas front their platform, and, in their• stead, protested against " repudiation." The fact will not appear surprising when one considers that the chairman a the convention WWI repudi ated by the people of Connecticut, as unworthy of public trust; that the tem porary chairman was repudiated by army officers and soldiers, us en lucom• petent ; that the southern delegates are repudiated by all decent white men in the south; and that every other delegate with brains enough to perform the functions of award constable was a per son who has been repudiated by the democracy, - 11 is not surprising that a convention made up of repudiated scala wags should object to repudiation, especially as they well know that It Is that convention and Its candidates which the people intend to repudiate. One Month's Expenditures The warrants Issued by the Treasurer for the expenses of the (lovernment during the month of May, amounted to FORTY•SIX AND A HALF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. At that rate the annual expendlturei4 or the ClovernMent, under the wasteful rule of the Radicals, amounts ht 'Vivi , : HUNDRED AND TIIIRTY-EIOIIT MILLIONS a year; and that. in aim of peace. If the people Want economy and reform let them put this party Gut Of power. Until they do that they cannot hope for any improve meat. tiraet's Letter or Acceptance, Radical newspapers are circulating a story to the offset that (tonere! Grant wrote his letter of acceptance lu less than ten minutes, dashing it oil' in the presence of some 'gentlemen who had called upon him. The thing is possible. We know hundreds. of men who could write a better letter in' less time.' . Any ordinary nominee for the Legislature or a County office ought to , be, able to get up'a:better letter of acceptance in, say six minutes, thus beating Grant all hol low. 'What'will be the peat proof' giN'en tt,of,grant's liaielfeetual ' „ Conservative Soldier's Convention.

ThbOall tki issued in n-r [ itnce':of a resolution of a Vie National. ' :Executive Convention which was beta at Cleveland in SePtemher of 1806. The object of the propel* National Con vention is explicitly stated in the call. It is "to advise and co-operate with the Democratic party in presenting to the nation a candidate for President who will command the support of all who desire to extinguish the ravages of war, abolish the military despotisms now ruling the . South, and give back to the Southern States the rights of self gov ernment and of an equal and fraternal Union, and restore to the nation an economical and , constitutional govern ment." The statement of the object of this convention is made in words as wise and generous as the object itself is noble and patriotic. In tile pending Presideirtiol campaign the conservative soldiers of the nation will be an element of great power.— They will comprise very many of the most prominent leaders of the Union armies, and in the ranks of the organi zation will he found those patriotic prl vates who voluntarily went forth to the defence of the flag, the Union and the Constitution from motives of pure and exalted patriotism. Those who suppose that the soldiers of the country will unite in support of General Grant are much mistaken. The Radical politicians made him their nominee simply because they enter tallied the hope that the great bulk o - the soldiers would rally to his support How completely their hopes are des tined to fail them the result of the re cent elections shoW. None know better than those who were privates in our armies what were the avowed objects of the war, and none see more clearly how the Radicals in Congress have persis tently refused to permit a proper resto ration of the Union. In the intelligence of those who carried muskets and knap sacks under him, General Grant, us a Radical candidate, will find a most for midable element of opposition. They may respect his abilities as a general, but a great proportion of them can never be induced to vote for him as the candi date and representative of that faction which is laboring to perpetuate its pow er at the expense of all the great inter ests of the nation. That the Conserva tive Soldier's and Sailor'sNationai Con• vention, on the 4th of July, will be an imposing gathering, we have no doubt. Pennsylvania willsend a full delegation. Republican Prophecies We have already quoted the admission of Thad. Stevens, J. W. Forney, and Hoiace Greeley, and other bright and shining lights of the Radical party, that the acquittal of President Johnson on the impeachment trial would be the death knell of Radicalism. We add below the prophecy of Mr. Dana, ex- Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, formerly n partner of Greeley in the Tribune establishment, but now editor of the New York Sun, a strong Radical sheet. Pending the trial he wrote as j follows: ."113e acquittal would almost certainly have the effect of rostrating, if not dis banding, the Republican party. That par ty is committed to the policy of Impeach ment. After much hesitation and long re flection the measure was resolved upon by the unanimous voice of the Republicans In the !louse of Representatives. The Repub lican press throughout the country, with here and there au exception, favors it. The Republican State I:onventloos which have Sluice 11,1011Ibled, with the minor organiza tions of the party, have approved of it. Its platform speakers and ltd MUSH I.llooLingH have advoc4tted it. The New Ilatnildhlro and Connecticut campaigns were fought upon this issue. In a word, the party Is committed to the in e e cu re In every possi ble form. Now, we are not Inquiring whether it wits wise for the party thus to commit Itself; we are only saying that it has done so, and ate but uttering the con viction of every mind capable of forming an opinion upon the question when we say that defeat upon this Issue Nth(' ruin of the party. 11 weak!, of course, gilt keep up a .ahem of organization, NMI enter upon the Prenalential campaign; but it would light the battle with spiked 0111111011 and under a tarnished flag, and nothing could save It trout aboverwhelmlugdelhat in November, after which It would substantially yo ohltged to tilmsolve and tilmoppoor, No wonder that tho I tvpublitianm In ovary part or the country arc oxceedlngly mutudtivo to °very. .ytuptont which oven faintly Indi c:atom It likelihood that the 1'11441(1ton !nay aseapa, ttegulital they feel with an Int oning ituitinet, would ho the certain do mtruction or their party, and the rentoration of tho pottutorata to power," Illongliarlen R. Buchitleiv. The Congreedional Globe of the first Instant contains the opinion of Senator Bucltiew, delivered in the Impeach ment. It is a very able paper, and though the decision of the ease deprives It of some of its present Interest, the argument of Mr. Bucicalew is as com plete an expo - linen as has been made of the futile charges which were the pretext for the Radical attempt to seize the Executive power of the government. Mr. Buckniew not only justifies the in tention of the President, but the stria legality of his tuition ; showing clearly that ad interim appointments am fully Justified by the act of 17&i, which has not been repealed by subsequent legls• A Voice Front tho Homo or Grant. Galena, the home of Grunt, has an swered the voice of Oregon by electing the whole Democratic fleket by a ma jority of three hundred. This occurred last Friday, and we presume no one can say the Radicals of Galena had not beard of Grant's nomination. Every election which takes place, points to one result—a crushing defeat of the Radical party and its expediency can didate. A Good Suggestion One of our country subscribers sends his subscription to WEERTAr INTELLT• EXCE R by mall, and suggests that as the Impeachment trial has been decided against the prosecutors, they ought to be compelled to pay the costs.

EDITORS:--Those who advocate the payment of the live twenties In green backs intend no violation of National faith' They do not propose to apply this method of payment to the U. S. sixes of 1841, created In 1868, for which the Government received gold or its equivalent, nor to the ten-forties which are expressly payable In coin. But they propose to re-pay the five-twenties in the same currency the government received for (hum, to wit, greenbacks, because neith er the bonds themselves nor the Acts of Congress creating them cult for the redemp• Lion of the principal in g,thl. Nor do the advocates of the Pendleton- Stevens system design to violate the terms of the live-twenty bonds in respect to the lilac of their redemption, It is nut proposed to pay them in greenbacks until five years after their dates, when they become redeem• able by their own language. There are therefore only about Five Hundred Mil lions of these bonds, issued in 1'862, which are now subjecl to redemption; akhough of course the sauna treatment should ho ap plied to the others as they mature. Under the plan I suggest, those first $500,000,000 could be disposed of with peculiar facility, They are to a great extent pledged for the security of the cireulation of the National thinks. By pitying them as proposed $300,000,000 of greenbacks could be at once substituted for the National Bank notes, upon which the government la already lia able tot utiderser. This would relieve the country front the payment of eighteen mit tionN per annum In gold for the privilege of circulating bank nolee, which now pawl ex clusively on the credit of the government, nobody CVUr looking at the name of the bank on the Onto, or curing whether It to solvent or bankrupt, IL would Have to the people part or the Nut.' per cunt, per an num free ol' taxes, which some of those bunks ire paying In dlvldendm to their uhareholderm.

The next, issue of live-wattles, those of 1884, bcome redeemable In 18th), and if my memory serves me, amount to less than $200,000,000. The payment of the green backs exchanged for these bends could be effected, at the rate of ten per cent, per an num, by the mere saving of Interest in this and the prior operation. Thus : Greenbacks exchanged for live-twenties $700,000,000; saving or Interest on the latter forty-two millions per annum; $300,000,000 of the greet:backs take the place of National Bank notes; leaving but $400,000,000 to be dis posed of, which could be redeemed in ten years at the rate of forty millions por an num. Thls would leave a nett surplus of two millions per annum to be carried for- ward and applied, with the procoods of a moderato tax on the other obligations of the government, to the liquidation of the five-twenty bonds becoming redeemable in 1880 and subsequently. A DEMOCRAT. Why Grant Dislikes the Sown The question is often asked, " What ham elan. ()rant against the Jews?" or, " Why did ho issue that notorious proclamation driving all Jews and other vagabonds -out side his encampment?" And, not having seen published any satisfactory answer, 'I will give you what I suppose to be the real cause of his dislike of the Jews. During the winter of 1459 and IRMO, while CI rant was living at Galena, ire tonic it into his head to commence business on his own hook ; and thinkittg there was a speculation In buying dressed hogs and shipping them to Olhaingo, he cams down to the town of Bellevue, lying sotne 12 miles southweston the wool bank of the Mississippi, for the purpose of buying or farmers as they came iti town with their, pork, and having it hauled to Galena, and there shipped on the railroad to Chicago, or In any other way disposed of so as to make n pro fit, which was a very honorable, and, if managed understandingly, could have been made it profitable business. There lived at dint time in Bellevue a met by the name of Rosenthal, who was a :few, and who was in the pork trade, and, of course, would be glad to keep the trade In - his own hands; so he determined, it possible, riot to give G rant much .1 . a chance, and the first two or three loads of pork were hid up far be yond its real video, and finally sold to Grant. By this LIMO Rosenthal alscovered that Grant knew no difference between the price of light end heavy hogs, whon, in re ality, there is a difference of et leant ono dollar per hundred,—heavy hogs being worth ono dollar the 1110/4,-0.10 hogs already purehased by Grant being light, and ho having paid the lull price for heavy hogs. So Rosenthal goes to his warehouse; selects out all his light hogs, enough to load two or three wagons ; gets some farmers who had wood rucks ou their wagons to load on the hogs, drive out of town by another street, and come in on tire main road to the corner where they were buying. Rosenthal meets them there by another street, and cotn monad bidding against Grant, and, after bidding the pork up to the full value of heavy pork, it was sold to Grant. But, the Joke, or "sell," being too geed to keep, it wait ' not half ad hour before everybody nearly was splitting with laughter to see how the Jew and sold tho Galena pork' buyer; which so disgusted Grant that he went home that night, and was never seen In Bellevue after. And that transaction so embittered him spired the old tribes of Israel that I doubt whether ho could now be reconciled, And this is undoubtedly the whole' cause of the expulsion of Jews from his camp,— Chicago Timm. /tow tiounraimblp.tenvestoldlees Lives.

Within that time have come two great party events—the impeach ,ment and the nomination of a Presidential candidate. Impeachment, it is sufficient ly notorious, has deepened everywhere the conviction that the domination of the radi cal party is not consistent with the safety of our institutions; but how it might be with the nomination of Grant no man could Positively say. Party men of one side or the other, and all who pretend to be weath• (Irwin In the political atmosphere, could predict to their own satisfaction just what would come to pass ; but the truth Is that no one: e anidivitio the secret currents of ft people's thoughts—no ono can accurately estimate the hidden (owes that yet seem to move the whole mass of the nation by °Wariest unanimity to the some result. Hut the ballot box tells all, The seam crops out at an election and the mind of the people is shown. Hence the significance of this, election In Oregon determined with unequivocal clearness for the democrats right on the heels of the nomination of Grant by the radicals. Grant, to put It at Its lightest, is not ee great a Man, not a name so thoroughly satisfactory to the peo ple that they will venture another four years of radicalism to have him. lie Is too evidently only the gilding of the pill, and the people thrust him aside- And this le settled, not on the arguments or declama tions of partisans not on the forecastings of those who believe that Grant will be beaten because they hope it, but it is set tled on that only positive source of informa tion under our system—a test at the polls, an experiment before the people, the hon estly delivered vote of a'great State. The growth and progress of such convic tions in the public mind as have produced the democratic triumphs of which this in Oregon is the most, noteworthy nothing can now arrest, and the inevitable consequence will be a complete change of power. Hith erto the same change has occurred in much the same way. Scott was once excepted to walk over the Presidential course some what as Grant's adherents expect him to walk overit now; but his promenade ended ,in a great disaster. Grant's seems vary 1 likely to end in the same way. This steady, constant but undemonstrative change in the minds of the people results from the general feeling of the necessity of saving the constitution from the assaults of the political desperadoes who find it an obstruc tion to their schemes. People hardly re alized the necessity for a constitution. They have hoard the discussion one way and an other over constitutional points, and have given little attention. They nave heard the declaration of the radicals that they would govern " outside the constitution,' and hardly realized what it meant. But when they see in the acts of these men just what it all means; when they see law and civil government trampled down id ten States, and a great section of the Union ruled by a military despot ; when they see the whole power of a great brunch of the gov ernment used to destroy the Executive, and to strike down the Supreme Court, they naturally consider what result the success of these efforts would produce; and the fear to continue the government In the hands of such a party changes the vote of every thinking man. It is a change that goes ou silently and appears only. in its conse quences, ne is the case with all great oper ations of the national purpose which fol lowed the firing on Sumpter appeared the thought of many months ; and it was so magnificently unanimous only because every man had determined what mnst be done and was ready—because the national thought was prepared like a mine of gun powder and walled only the match. In election after election following ono an other in different States we now see the growth and progress of a great change, and it Is clear that counting on this the party that avails itaelt of the great fact in the right spirit will beet utilize it for the na tional welfare. It is a change that points towards a positive assertion of the suprem acy of law in the government. N. Y. Her ald.

General Grant Is the candidate of tho radiant party, which for three years past hos prevented tile necomplisliment of nearly all the avowed objects of tile war, and turned to the destruction of the Constitution and the Union the powers confided to it for their preservation; but lie will be no stronger before the people than the policy he represents if the Detneornts and Conser vatives cordiallyunito and nominate ughinst Mtn a statesman or a soldier whose record of patriotic service bias unquestioned as his own. The momentous issues between the two parties will then be fairly considered, and the reason, not the prejudice, of the people will determine their choice. The purpose of this Convention is to ad vise and co-operate with the Democratic party in presenting to the nation a candi date for President who will command the support of all who desire to extinguish the revenges of the war, abolish the military despotism:anew ruling the South, give buck to the Southern States the rights of self government and of an equal and fraternal union, and restore to the nation an econ omical and constitutional government.

Departed ez•Presidlent by the Atterney.thmersi of Nankai. smith Immediately upon tho announcement of the death of ex-President James Buchanan, In the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, on Monday last, the Honorable Benjamin Harris Brewster, Attorney-General of the State, moved the adjournmentof the Court, prefacing his motion with the following elo quent and touching tribute of respect to the memory of the departed statesman May It please the Court : Mr. Chief Jus tice, at the instance of the Bar, it Is now my duty to announce to this Honorable Court, the death of a follow-citizen of great public renown, tho Honorable James Buchanan, a former President of the United States, Tile Circuit Court having adjourned be cause of this sad event, it was thought proper by the whole Bar now in attendance on this Court that, as its official bead, I should make known this mobil:wholly fact to this Court without 'further delay. It is done so by mo with feelings of deep regret. Early in life my relations with Mr. Bu• chenan were close and confidential. To wards me he displayed feelings of generous regard, and to me gave worm encourage ment. During the admiobstration of Mr. Polk he was the Secretary of State, and to mo his house was a home. At his generous and hospitable table, and through his cour tesies at that time, my residence at Wash ington, in a short official term, was made by him the occasion of introducing me into an extended and accomplished circle of genial associates. Under his instructive influence, the hap py results of which I even now feel and acknowledge, was my first connection with the higher order of public men begun. By him was I presented to foreign diplomats and statesmen ; by him was I, like a younger brother, commended to the good opinion of that constellation of great public men whose history is a part of the history of our coun try. They have gone, and alas, now it falls to my lot, thus with trembling accents to announce that he too has left us. Think for an instant of those summits of social Oder that then lifted their lofty heads In the Sen ate of our beloved country. Was he the least of them? Was he not with the tlrstof them? Well did I know those illustrious men,Webster, Clay, Calhoun, Benton, Cass, Mangum, Crittendon, Clayton. Well did I know him of whom I now speak. Well, Mr. Chief Justice, did you too know them all. And was he, sir, of the least of them? Dif fering, as they did all, in their great quail. ties—glittering like stars each with its own glory-yet all glowing with the light and heat of genius, and -,visdom, and exalted dignity of character. He Was a man of pe culiar merit. Calm, wise, eloquent, and with unstained pufity of character, he walk ed through a long line of exalted positions— adorning all, admired by all serving all. Well was he known here, and oven in other lands, as the favorite son of this grand old Comtnonwealtb. He reached the first office of our nation. Lot me pause. The recent fierce agony through which we have gone—the deep wounds that even now bleed frornthis wild intestinal strife, admonish me to be guard ed. Let me say nothing but that which is good of the dead. Bound by ties of long service and high rewards to a party that had ruled this notion almost from the hour of its birth, he acted as some of us would, for his fame sake, have wished lie had never acted. But who can answer for his own conduct under like circumstances?— Who can speak unless, like hint they saw and all felt as ho did? That is past. lie, too, is of the past. Let us mourn him, let us reverence him fur the good lie did—let us, in this high atmosphere of judicial power and dignity, forget all as perities of party, and be gentlemen—let us In the name of the great profession of this State, of which he too was ono of its grent• est—us lie official bead, lot mo cell you till around his tomb, to honor and applaud the high renown he earned, and to lament the loss we have all suffered. Mr. Chief Justice, as a mark of respect to this great man—the son of our Common Mother—the brother of our Common Frit tornity—hgt mu move that this Court do now adjourn, Thereupon Chief Justice Thompson ad journed the Court, and ordered that the re marks of the Attorney-General be entered at largo upon the records.

Lola at night thisstirliiMinen wore going up PennsYlvania avenue, happening to pass a negro, madoseme remark, which the latter replied to by calling the white limn rebels. One of the white men called after the negro, who retreated a abort distance and then suddenly turned, drew out a razor and cut his pursuer across tho wrist, sever ing an artery and producing death almost immediately. The negro then retreated. In another section of the city a soldier of the Twelfth infantry was set upon and cut with a razor across the ribs, the wound being of such a fearful character that death shortly followed. The house of a conservative Judge of elec tion was entered and gutted by a negro mob, and, but for the strategy of a policeman, the office of the National Intaligencer would have been demolished. Night was made hideous by negro crowds yelling and.play ln • barbarous music. orney made a very incendiary speech to a negro mob. telling them there were two disbanded regiments of Lee's rebel troops in the olty with hostile intent towards the the colored people. The impression Is gen eral that every negro is armed with a razor, and that other Adel collisions aro inevitable. Justice Harper, of Washington, hold an inquest this morning on the body of the murdered Faulkner. The principal wit ness was W. D. Dunn, a private watchmen on duty in the square ' between Sixth and Seventh streets, who makes the following statement:—The deceased and Albert john son wore walking down the avenue just east of the Metropolitan Hotel, when it col ored man passed them and Johnson made a remark to him, which ho (Mr. P.) did not understand, and the colored man stopped anti approached them, but again turned, proceeded across Sixth street and down the avenue. Johnson and deceased crossed the street, when the former stopped, and Faulk ner followed the man. Faulkner was ob served to take something out of his pocket, , supposed to have been a billy." When he reached the mouth of the alley the man suddenly turned and made a pass or a blow at the deceased and ran. Mr. Dunn imme diately ran down and found that blood was running profusely out of the sleeve of the coat of the deceased, and he immediately storied after the colored man following him into Marble alley, but losing sight of him in the cross alley running to Ninth street. As he (the watchman) crossed the avenue ho blow his whistle for aid from the pollee. When he returned Ito found Faulk ner at the door of Clark's drug store lylug on the steps and officers Hll, Lawler and Fox with him. The deceased had also made an attempt to pursue the colored man, and his track was marked by the blood across the avenue to the mouth of Marble alley and thence diagonally across the ave nue to the corner of Four and a Half street. Dr. Dexter was immediately called, and the officers started with the wounded man for Dr. Dowo's office, a few doors above, In front of whose door Dexter met them, and found that the man had just died, about ton or fifteen minutes after the wound was inflicted. His body was immediately , taken to the Fourth ward station house and word was sent to notify the father of deceased. The following particulars of the disturb ance last night have been learned : At the attack made on the drug store on the corner of Seventh and II streets quite a number of short muskets, clubs and pistols were shown and several shots tired, but none with effect as fur as known. A young man nineteen years of age, named George Hen(llev, In the employ of Mr. George It. coachmaker, was quite badly Injured in this affair. lie was standing on the pavement near tho drug store when some one cried out "Hurrah for Given," with some other remark, and a colored man run up and struck attho young man named, but •missed hint and Headley resolved the blow on the cheek, and being struck a second time he was knocked senseless Into the gutter. When he returned to conscious ness some man was standing over hint cutting at him with a razor, anti his hat bears the marks of this assault, being cut Into strips. When he reached his home on 11 street, near Sixth, It was found that he had received two cuts, makingpalnful flesh wounds, ono on each hip. Dr. Palmer dressed these wounds, and he is also at tended by Dr. P. Cragliun. lie is Injured also in the breast, and so acute were his pains until he was examined by the physi cian that he was very apprehensive that he had been shot. By some moans the name of Mr. Joseph E. Hodgson, the brother-in-law of Hardly, was connected with this affair, and it was rumored that Mr. Hodgson had been killed, but there was no foundation for the report. As the procession was marching towards the First ward last night, down 1? street, forty or fifty colored men stopped at the corner of Eleventh street, and running into Smith's restaurant ono of them knocked the proprietor down with n bottle, while others, it is alleged, robbed the money drawer of fln and curried off a number of bottles of liquor. There is a conflict of statements in regard to this affair some de nying that the parties concerned in the ont rage belonged to the procession, while others assert positively that they left the proces sion to make the depredation and after wards joined the line again. Some persons in ono of the ward delegations, in passing the house of Captain Daniels, corner of Thirteenth street and Now York avenue, threw several stones at it, breaking some of the windows. It is not known that there was any provocation. Ono or two shots were fired nt the corner of Hoventh and M streets, and ono of the windows of (Jassin'n drug store was broken. Thu restaurant of Charles Bradenboyer, on Virginia avenue, near Delaware avenue, was stoned by colored men at about nine o'clock last night, and a number of windows broken, and some of the windows of the residence of Officor Bolfofti, adjoining, were also burst in, and Mr. B.'s wife was struck on the shoulder by one of the missiles. Officer Hopkins wee near at the time, and by a good deal of persuasion succeeded in inducing the crowd tontop the attack.which it is supposed was made because a fightoc curred between some soldiers and colored mon near there yesterday morning. The city is comparatively quiet this eve ning, notwithstanding the public mind is keenly apprehensive of coming violence from the unruly colored element, which is now in an inllummable condition. Rumors have boon heard on every handthat the no- green are planning attacks on a number of persons who took nn active part against the radical party on Monday last. Included among those devoted to.deatruction, rumor states, is the office of the Iniciligcncer. The editors of that paper addressed a communi cation to the Superintendent of the Police to-day informing him that Intelligence had been received by them that an tomtit up on their office was threatened for this eve ning. Although they did not fool appro. hennive, they deemed it only proper that the statement should bo laid lidera the Board. Tho Board of Police, after holding a consultation on the matter, replied that no fears of violence need be entertained; that the arrangements of the police force were amply sufficient for any etnergeney. An exeltement was raised early tins eve ning by an altercation that occurred be tween two negroes about the election, which terminated in a fight. One was knocked down With a bottle, but succeeded in escap ing, pursued by the crowd, both white and black., numbers of whom charged that he attempted to use the negro's favorite weapon, a razor. Tho police arrested him and took him to the station house. Several other disturbances oceured in different parts of the city, but the negroes have not, up to the present time, made any kind of dem onstration. Conwresslonal WASIIINCITON Juno 1. In the S.

LETTERPI THOM TUC WEST. NUMlleat HU. Bomaearroti, Iday 20, 184$, Homeward, Ho I Is how tho ery, As the distant West fades from tit° oyo. Yes, liko a pleasant dream, the scones through which 1 hero passed now begin to vanish, and I sin once again on my way homeward, Louving the Vitllo of the 111111- uesota by the same route I came, ati fur as Ountonna, the Junction of Um Winona and St. Paul, and .the Wluerlit and St. Peter roads, from whence we pass down towards McGroggor on the Mississippi. The country through which the road pass- OS is more of a variety as wo proceed. Not so much level prairie, but more rolling find Interspersed with fine meadows, ridges and come good timber. Among the rest too, a few small patches of limestone land—a thing rarely met within this State. MoGreggor, south, (there Is also a north McGreggor,) is situated In a very narrow valley opening upon the river, and con tains but ono street, which runs up between two ridges to the distance of nearly a mile, lined on both sides with business houses, some of them quite handsome, and all op perm-fly driving a good trade. Tho houses on (ho north side el this street are built close up against the hill, and have bridges from the second and third stories to the garden above. It Is a most novel appear ance, and makes ono wonder what could ever possess any ono to build here. Yet It has its advantages, too, for the town Is mom effectually protected from the strong north western winds, which prevail hero during the winter, and thus rendered more com fortable than most of the towns on this river, which are generally exposed to every piercing blast that sweeps down the valley. Prom tills point (North McGreggor,) Is the only " ALL-11.km," as It Is called, con nection with the East, and is made by means of two dal-boats provided with a railroad track, capable of carrying four cars each, over the river at one time. These list boats are towed by a steamer, and con nect with the Milwaukie Railroad on the eastern side, by moans of a sliding plat form truck run out Into the stromn, on an inclined plane, until sufficiently deep to enable the cars to be drawn from the boats and backed on as the caso may be, by a lo comotive. So perfect is the arrangement, and so skillful are the mechanical appli ances, that 16 ears can be shiftod off and on In the course of half-an-hour, making as near as Is possible without a bridge, a con tinuous line of road from side Lo side. Prattle du Chien, opposite Mai roggor, Is shunted on a tlat with it beautiful ridge In the background, and Into n very fine ap pearance from the river, Lut appears to be suffering from the effects of the Improve ments Just described, to an alarming extent. Before that existed, It was the principal trans-shipping station On the line, between the Bast and Northwest; now it Is entirely cut off from every benefit generally derived from such it !ammo, and may Le said to he finished, ready to" fence lu and whitewash." At MeGreggor I vtuiloa one of those re- markablu vaults, or caves, (as thoy are cal led), so common in this region. It Is au arch cut from a soft sand atone, and requires noithoc sido walls, props, nor roof arching, but stands firm nod durable as soon 118 it is out from the body of the mountain. Memo vaults are cool and dry, and most °soon ontly adaptod for storing boor, ale, having thu additional advanlago of groat ohuapnoas. Nu blunting Is necessary In building them, every part of the work is done with Um pick, the spade, and the shovel.

The day wax a beautiful one. A light B/MX3y veil of float ing clouds abut out - the glare of sun-shin', and a delicious breeze gave a bracing Char acter to the atmosphere of early summer. There had been no extensive preparations for a pompous funeral. The dying request of the unostentatious men, who was the 15th President of the United Stales, express ly forbade that any such.attempt should be made.
