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

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

" You will please send to these head
quarters as soon as practicable, and from
time to time thereafter,such copies of news
papers published ih yourdepartment as
contain sentiments of disloyalty and hos
tility to the Government pr any of its
branches
and'state whether each paper is
habitual in its utterance of such sentiment.
Theyersistant publication of articles calcu
lated to keep up a hostility of feeling be
tween the people of different sections of the
country, cannot ho tolerated. The infer
million %called for with a view to their
suppression, which will be done from those
headquarters.
"By ardor of Lieut. Gen, Grant.
"T. S. BONVICItS,
"Assistant Adjutant General."
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.
General Order, No. 11.
Tho Jews, as a class, violating every
regulation of trade established by the Trea
sury Department, also department orders,
era hereby expelled from the department
within twenty-four hours from the receipt
of this order by post commanders.
They will see that all this class of people
are furnished with passes, and required to
leave; and any one returning alter such
notification will be arrested and held in
confinement until an opportunity occurs of
sending them out as prisoners, unless fur
nished with permits from these hoadquar•
term. -
No passes will be given this people to
visit headquarters for the purpose of mak•
ing personal application for trade permits.
By order of Major General Grant.
Toni A. RAwmNo, A. A. 0.
Official: J. Lovell, Captain and A. A. G.
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

Of Atli. 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

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. That
WOUid 6u Iu accordance with our Ideas
ofJustlce, hut as Justice Is a thing no
longer recognized In the Radical vocal)
ulttey, the people will have to foot th
iltmonE surrendering the War Office
Stanton destroyed many, very many,
papers on file thcre relating to secret
Interior party matters, particularly of
detective matters and confidential re•
ports, main which Ills high-handed
action woe In many Instances based. It
will never be I; I) 11W11 how much the in
dependence of his subordinates has been
oppressed. In all the branches cif his
office-411c Freedmen's Bureau, the
Detective and the Army—he has had
host or satellites in secret correspond
ence with him, the matter of which has
no doubt been destroyed. In the army
the purest and best have had to be ex
tremely cautious of speech among even
intimate associates.. The army has been
degraded by his minions. A better time
dawns.

MESSRS. 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

The next, issue of live-wattles, those of

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.

gars of radicalism to the country,-.the
edirviption that made itself 'felt at the...polla
Connecticut; Pennsylvania;
Ohio, New Jersey and New York, and gave
those States to the democrats by good ma
jorities—is a deep conviction stiff; that it
has not worn away with time, and that
nothing whatever of promise for the better
is felt in anything done by the radicals in
the period that has elapsed since a State
last recordetr the judgement-of its people,
against that party. 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

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

State, of which he too was ono of its grent•

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

Justice Harper, of Washington, hold an

murdered Faulkner. The principal wit

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

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.

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

memorable event. Such an occasion was
that of last Thursday, when the remains
of James Buchanan wore followed to the
grave by the largest cortege that ever at
tended the funeral obsequies of any Presi
dent who died out of office. 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. Ho litnrclfreleted that the coffin, the
