.Reform.

The poor, tempest-tossed- , and gform-leate- n

Democrat is truly an object ofsympathy now, and we can scarcely findroom to gloat over tbo misfortunes ofIhe vererablo craft which swung looseIrom the Tildcn anchorage of reform,finds itself stranded on his cryptogram.The enigmatical language contained inhis secret cipher was unearth td by thepersidfcLt, long-eontinue- d and inde-

fatigable research of some idol -- breaker,who had not oue particle of venerationfor the old 'Nestor of reform. Tildenprotests uw innocence of any conniv-

ance at the rascality his secret cipherbetrays, and unless he lies, as he proba-

bly does, the only charitable excuse forkim that we can discover, is that he toldthe thieving crew which surroundedhim, Here is my secret cipher, beris my office, No. 15 Oramercy Park,llero is my barrel full of best UnitedStates documents; do with them as youwill; and I fully endorse the above."This language sounds familiar, butnow we recollect, it is part of thewords of the late Col., butnow Judge J. K. Kelly, who used asimilar expression with reference to theuse of eiht thousand best United Statesdocuments (Tilden's documents, be itunderstood) for the purchase of a He-public- an

elector in Oregon; and if wehave got part of the language of JudgoKelly blended with part of the reformtalk of Tilden, there is reason for it, tobe sure; hat looking at this p eciouspair of reform twins," who is therethat can help saying, " 'Tis true, 'tispity, and pity 'tis 'tis true."

The question as to the advisability ofBible reading in the public schools wassprung in the Baptist convention latelyin session here, and Hon! F. O. Mc-Cow- n

distinguished himself in an ablecontention against tberprevailing Chris-tian theory of its necessity and import-ance. We are glad to see one of thesect take the tolerant ground thatothers have rights and feelings thatought in charity to be respected. It isa narrow, contracted sectarian andzealot bias that moves any man. to im-

pertinently obtrude what he considersa feast of good things before the palledtastes of dissenters; and more especial-ly is this so in America, Vhere the dif-

ferent characteristics of our nationalitynatarally bring together, but ofcourse cannot blend the mostheterogenous admixture of races withevery possible variety .of religious be-

lief, and the whole mass leavened withan important element as to numberswho have no religion at all. Now it isconspicuous and elevated humanitarian-is- m

to lock beyond the rancor of con-

flicting religious beliefs and spread themantle of charity over all, tothe militant and proselyting creeds to acommon level, leaving each to work outits destiny 'untrammelled by such ad-

vantages, as Bible reading in the schoolswould give the Christian over the Jew,the Catholic, the Mohamedan, or theLiberal. It is the highest exemplifica-tion of tho best and worthiest maximfound within the lids of the GcodBook ' Do unto others as ye wouldLave others do unto you;" and we feelassured Mr. McCown was moved by thishighest and most considerate of rea-

sons for the position taken.In converse of this view, who but in-

stinctively knows that the zealot whoinsists on its school reading is blindedby the fierce dogmatic and intractableinstinct which overrides the equalrights of others, aud bends the sway oftolerance into the coils of the inqui-sition. Such an adherent, it seems tous, belongs to the medievaf ages, whenthe sword was the. sworn consort of thecreeds, and the rack and thumb-scre- w

the chief promotors of the true faith.Whoever that can say, "A free fieldand a fair contest " for the conquest ofhuman beliefs rises high above theskulker who would entrench himselfwhere plastic minds are easily mouldedto the touch of the master hand, andthus win the victory of first choice, andstands ' forth - in contrast as a MANranged alongside of a cringing coward.

Some cobwebbed bookworm in tlffe

Department of Agriculture writesto David Newsom that he under-stands there is a tradition amongthe Indians here of a plantknown to them, from which sugar wasmade long time ago, and old UncleDavy is ramping around among th6runcheros trying to find it. We thinkthe whole tradition grew out of theaet that from remote ages the noble

red man has been calling for " sugar inliis'n," when planted in the way wherewhisky abounded, and Uncle Davidwill get done up in spirits ifhe pursuesLis investigation too far. Beyond theabstruse question of how to pickle

cnesfau lof i'r.r'e. or toexierainatelice, so that while they replenished thecommissary department as little pain ormutilation as possible was inflicted, theponderous, and dextrous mind of the.noble red man neyer dwelt on the triv-

ial matter of unnecessary condimentsto sweeten his haphazard hash. -

The election returns from Washing-ton Territory are very meagre, and it isimpossible the result at pres-ent writing. So far as heard from,Brents, Republican nominee for Dele-gate, has the best of the contest.

The Greenback vote last Tuesday didt amount to much..

We Are Wiser Now Than Then.

Oregon City, that once was thestronghold of temperance and all theconcomitant virtues that range aroundit like cherubims around a saint; a citywhere a red nose was looked upon inscorn and derision unless its wearertook refuge in the excuse of a boil, hasfallen from it3 high estate and can nolonger be classed in the world's lexi-cons as a Saint's Rest. Be ours the lotto mnso over its fallen greatnesras Marius mourned over the rninsof Home, and as Maeauley's NewZealander is yet to plaiut overthe broken arches of London's bridgein the days of its downfall and decay.

Once smiling Good Tempi ars madewinsome the uncanny hours of night,and the festive regalia exalted ordinaryclay in as many hues as nature bestowsin painting the lily and refining therose. "The heart that swelled beneaththe horse-colla- r device that bound themin "purity, friendship and love," rosein vindictive emotion as the fiery woesof King Alcohol were expatiated upon,and the regalia had to be loosened togive them room to breathe. So, too,Sons and Daughters of Temperaucemet together in weekly conclave to plotagainst the evil machinations of BedEye, and draw brands from the burn-ing out of the fiery furnace of thedram-sho- p. How well do we remem-ber how The Hermit of Orsgon Cityhad the coat of somebody's stomachwho had in an evil day become a "Fright-ful Example " stretched upon rollers,and cured to do extremo credit to someexcellent tannery. How the hermitwas able to get patches of that stom-ach in different stages of alcoholic de-

composition always non-plusse- d us.The "Frightful Eximpld" was certainlyan accommodating and good-nature- d

wretch, and to him are we indebted forthe coat of many colors, which, barringJoseph's was the first known to history.Under such guidarce, the mild and be-

nignant influence of the Sons andDaughters of Temperance, and therather scary and forcible persuasive ofthe hermit, we were a reluctant com-munity to . drink at any rate, unlessvery slyly; but in an evil hour an in-

sidious and malevolent enemy of ourpreconceived notions burst upon thescene, and like the "rem tidi vici " ofthe Roman conqueror, he came, sawand conquered- - Ho has taught us thatwhisky, instead of being a deadlypoison, is bread, meat and substancefor six weeks continued debauch;that the coat, jacket and under-clothe- s

of the human stomach is as imperviousto the action of rot-ey- e as a cast-iro- n

dog is indifferent to cold weather; that,instead of refraining to look upon thewine when it is red, that it is better thansoldiers'rations to sustain the human sys-tem for an indefinite, protracted period.Is it then to be wondered at that faithin abstinence became badly "shookup?" For this reason, andonly, is itthat we have relapsed into a qui-escent state, in which invita-tions to drink are encouragingly winkedat and promptly accepted; that theGood Templars' ball no longer echoesto tho cheery refrain of the devotees ofcold water, but that now and then itsempty, silent and deserted corridorsre-ech- o to the noise of drunken bachan-al- s

from the haunt beneath. Longsince has the pertinent question of" Who do the things belong to " in thatcommunal lodge been decided underthe auctioneer's hammer, and a drowseas drear as the baptismal of death hathset its seal on the champions of the" sparkling and bright." Let not anymoralist in our midst or elsewhere ab-jurga- te

the failing zeal of the formerlyfaithful. We have been knocked outof time by a standing or staggeringexample of a man continuously and forsix weeks drunk, and after a week ofrelapse into sobriety to go six weeksdrunk again. He is fat and healthy,and bids fair to outlive many who lostground while striving to live a temper-ate life in the days when "The Hermitof Oregon City, pooling all his issuespulled that tanned stomach on us, andbluffed us out of a good hand of aces;but we are now even with him again,and wiser than wo were before.

Editors and Their Privileges.

The Courts are beginning to take no-

tice ol the relations of an editor towardpersons with whom he is brought intoconfidential "Telalions. A RochesternewsDaper man, who as called uponto testify as to the manner in which heobtained certain information publishedin his paper bearing on a case at issuein Court, declined to answer; allegingthat a disclosure by him of the name ofhis informant would seriously injurehim in his business as the publisher ofa newspaper, and that as the informa-tion had been imparted to him underpledge of secrecy as to the informanthe was as privileged as a lawyer whohad received, disclosures from his cli-ent. The Court took his view of thecase.

;St. Patcick and Col. Kelly tried tobuy an Oregon elector, and telegraphedto Tilden's that eight thousanddollars uere needed to consummate thepurchase. It is said that all men havetheir . price, but with a knowledgo ofthe reform candidate's barrel of money,the miserable cuss who could only affixeight thousand dollars as the price ofan eternal infamy more conspicuousthan Arnold's or Judas Iscariot's, hasa soul so small that in comparison hewould sell h"w wife's honor for a peckof peanuts; and ho public-ar- e gettinganxious to know y hie h one it was.Will Judge Kelly fUlv endorse thisand explain?

ORIGINAL DEFECTIVEThe Egotist

Of all the abominations in the land,the egotist ought to go first, as his pre-

tensions are the most boreful, and hispersistency the roost pertinacious. How

the great I swells into colloesal propor-

tions as he descants on his lofty accom- -

p'ishraents, and the common herd of

ordinary minds blend in an indistin-guishable ma53 beneath his empyreanheight. We have him in our midst as

all other communities have him,and are bored. Ho swells to insuffera-ble proportions as he descants on fur-nishing grease for the world's axles,aud keeps the machinery ol trad mov-ing by his ponderous combinations ofpossibilities. How uupieasant it is forhim, if in company, by loud ta'k ufswagger, he is unable to catch the earof the gaping crowd, and shrivel theiuinto the focus they occupy in his en-

throned There is but onerefuge for a wretch who will not atonce surrender to genius so overpower-ing. He is the mark of scoro and con-

tumely for the egotist, and is at once castinto the outer darkness of his ineffablecontempt. The justice of the peacewho, after marrying tho couple, said,"And now what God Almighty hasjoined let no man put asunder," wasnowhere to the average bore who thinksthe east tips up when he goes to tbewest, and that through him ordinaryevents have extraordinary guidance.If such could be taught (but that is animpossible task,) that if deoth should besuch a disrespectar of persons as tosummon him, tho world wouldlittle miss, nor long remember histranscendant exaltation, very muchwould be gained towards his final re-

demption from the fatal disease thatmakes him a nuisance and a bore; butthe infinite mercy of the ell-wis- e hasnever yet so condescended, and it isquite likely that the egotist departs withthis dying injunction to the imaginaryhost of attending serophims thnt sur-round him, " Tell Gabriel to announcemy coming."

rhysicians give tbe mental diseasewe have noted, the name of strabismus,or disease of the " I." There is an ed-

itor in Portland who has it badly, butone in Salem is so much worse'disaasedthat unless he is soon purgated, thecoroner will set in autopsy over a caseof swell-hea- d that'will go beyond theexperience of all tho clinics.

The motive that actuates a man toeay " I am unquestionably the bestwriter and editor in the Slate " is a caseof jdiabclical strabismus which mustexcite the commiseration of the sympathetic the world over; and if theprayers of the faithful coull do aughtto benefit a mind diseased, : we askthat a day of intercession be set apartfor his relief, to the end that the foolkiller- - neel have no causa to visit theeditorial fraternity in this State, andthus bring reproach ou tho professionwhere lesser examples in the 'commu-nity at large will do just as well tokeep the masses- - of men in mediocrebcuuds, and free from tho fatal blightof egctisaa.

We iaadvei tantly copied an item fromtheLiland Empire last week reflectingon the character of tho contract Slessrs,Ball & Piatt have at the Cascades Locksand insinuating that they have eugagedto do it too cheaply. The editor of theInland Empire is presumed to know asmuch about what he is writing on sucha subject as a hog knows ol graceand election," and-th- e whole matter isas the subject is looked upon throughO. S. N. Co. spectacles, who havechosen the "merry rooper" of the1. E. to do their talking for them.When it is known that Messors. Fall &

Piatt were only about 13,000 below intheir bid, the proposal of such safecontractors as Hon. D. P. Thompsonand J. B. Montgomery, there need notbe much concern as to which, side thebread of Messrs. B&U & Piatt is butter-ed. Those who " eat, drink and bemerry," are prone to put off the read-ing of the handwriting on the wall,which-reveal- s their final overthrow.

In an article on the "drifts of immi-gration," the San Francisco Bulletin.says, that nearly every day larger com-

panies of immigrants are landed by theoverland trains at that city; and it saysthat the drift of the present immi-gration is strongly towards Oregon.Oregon is a moist country, and thecrops, rarely or never Tail. Land iareasonably cheap, and titles are gener-ally good. The purchaser at secondhand usually gets a warranty deed, aform rarely nsed in California, evenwhere titles are well settled. The pur-chaser who has always been accustomedto have his title warranted, cannot quiteunderstand why the warranty is with-held in California, and he naturallylooks "upon a title with some suspicionfrom which the warranty is withheld."

The New Judiciary Law.

Y Salem, Nov. 4, 1878.Er. Enterprise: A Southern Ore-go- n

ipaper commenting on the new ju-

diciary law, indulges in some stric-ture- a

upon newspaper correspondents,why iinch a bill was never mentionednor norrced by them. A newspapercorrespondtnt, then, is an entity in oursystem of pWitcal " economy. It ismost true thaithis judiciary law wasnurtured andycradled in secret, andthat jjf-tf- &a not five days (includingSn.iaday) from the time it saw the lighta$ day till it was in the Governor's"hands for approval. But the SouthernOregon interrogator should bear inirind that newspaper correspondents, 4

above all other classes of men, requirethe public moral support of the peo-

ple. The press of the country has beentrue to itself, as the reforms in the pastfew years in both National and Stateaffairs most abundantly show. But hasthe public done its duty? What saysthe public of this? James K. Kellywas a party in the attempt to steal anelectoral vote from tho people of Ore-gon, and what punishment has he re-

vived' for it? been elevated to theh exalted position in this State. If

in high places are to be rewardedfor their infamy, does it not look as ifthe time for newspaper correspondentsto exercise their polity had about pass-ed by ? Oregon.

It is stated on authority of a telegramfrom Washington that tho Potter com-mittee will enter into an exhaustive in-

vestigation of everj thing concerningcipher dispatches, and will subpoenaMarble, Pelton, Coyle, Woolley, SmithWosd and all persons who can throwayy light upon the subject.
