The Oregon .City Enterprise does not
seems to fully endorse the Democratic
"new passivo-actlve departure,'' for in
speaking of the probabilities that nocan-
idate will be nominated for the Presi
dency in 1872, it says :
" Xone but fools would make such an
assertion, and none but idiots would re
lieve it. The Ix-mocracy will nominate,
and that is not all: tliev will successfully
elect their candidate against the present-
taker-unu blockhead who now sits in the
White House and disgraces the nation."
Such exhibitions of faith are simply
ublime.

A late spiritualistic investigation in
'leveland was not exactly a success,
when considered as a test of the truth of
communications from the other world.
The friends of a lady recently deceased
iad fears that she had been buried while
vet alive, and. in order to decide the
matter, applied to a so-called medium in
New York for a spirit message in regard
to flie matter. In due course of mail an
answer was returned, purnorting to
come from the lady herself, and fully
corroborating their worst apprehensions.
The letter even gave particulars, aud
stated that, in proof of its assertions, the
body would be found turned around in
the coffin. Acting upon the strength of
the message, the cemetery was visited,
the body disinterred, and, horrible to re
late, was found exactly .as when placed
the grave. Probably the conditions
were unfavorable, or the letter was an-
swered by a lying spirit. At all events,
those engaged in the investigation are
not as enthusiastic defenders of the
cause as they were.
Lately In the town of Witepsk, Itus-
sia, several couples were married In
cemetery, for the purpose of stopping
the ?pread of the cholera. So implicit
was the confidence in the superstition
that the physicians were stopped from
giving any more medicine, and, strange
to say, the disease did actually die out
with the last inhabitant of the town.
One of the latest evidences that com
mercial sharpness is not a peculiarity be
longing exclusively to any one nationali
ty is the report that introductions to the
Grand Duke Alexis have been sold by
some one of his suite whose position ena
bles him to barter that honor. It is even
said that in one instance so high as Five
Thousand Dollars was paid for the privi
lege of seeing a Russian Duke. The only
point involved in obscurity is whether
the late Minister Catacazy can tell who
it is that is thus making the royal visitor
a living curiosity, to be exhibited at re
munerative prices rather than an honest
guest whom no expense will be snared
to entertain.
Mit. Wilkks prophesies the defeat of
Grant In the coming campaign.' The
oracle is a little like those of the olden
lime, in being rather vague, but, after
all, is explicit in predicting the utter
rout of the present incumbent of the
Presidential chair .. - A reporter who at
tempted to interview Mr, Wilkes was not
entirely successful, as that gentleman
declined the honor. Subsequently, how
ever, he did 'say: " We only desire to
predict that Grant may be beaten before
he becomes a candidate ; but should he
run in the next canvass, we will further
predict that he will be sloughed off along
with the Spoils Republicans, like a dead
branch, froiu the wholesome body of the
country, with, an adverse majority such
us never disgraced a Presidential candi
date before Rescoe Conkling and Ileury
Wilson to the contrary notwithstanding.

The happiest people in the world must
be those who are able to bear up tinder
all adversities',' and even extract comfort
from ' the most overwhelming misfor
tunes.;' To this class evidently belongs
the writer in the New York World, who
says that the Democrats lost the State in
the recent election not by a change of
sentiment in- the people, as between the
two parties, but because the Republicans
got to the polls ' a larger percentage of
their vote than the Democrats," and
then adds that, from a careful study and
comparison of' the figures, " it will be
plainly seen that New York is still a
Democratic State," and that all that is
wanted is for " the Democracv to pun
ish the men who have betrayed the party
and used their 'official positions to rob
tliC people, reorganize in New York city
by casting off the thieves, and victory
will again reward its efforts.", -.-
On the day after to-morrow Monday
December 4th Congress will assemble.
Despite the fact that there are now se vm
hundred and ninety-nine bills on the cal
endars of the two Houses, it is by no
means-probable that the session will be
either a long one or one in which much
important business will lie- transacted
It is the last session before a Presidential
campaign, and, if there were no other
reason, tlie amount of party legislation
that thns becomes necessary would pre
clude the consideration of any consider
able amount of less important business,
To be sure the vast number ot acts m
embryo" would seem to indicate a dif
ferent prospect. But of the entire list
nearly four-fifths are bills which failed
In the Forty-first and other Congresses,
and are now simply reintroduced, while
a large proportion of the remainder are
only duplicates, each of the other. It is
strange and even mortifying that such
thoughts will come to one in considering
the chief counsels of the nation, but ex
perience shows their probability, and
human nature is no less frail in Repub
licans than Democrats.
The unkindest cut of all. Miss Helen
Worth of Arkansas recently commenced
Miit for breach of promise on the strength
f a two mouths' engagement. In the
course of his remarks her counsel inge
niously worked upon the feelings of the
jury by pleading that her advanced
years would preclude her from ever
again enjoying the jdeasure of courtship
and that, therefore, they must take into
account her agony of mind at relin
quishing forever the prospective delights
of wedded bliss. Aud right nobly did
the twelve peers respond to this appeal
by rendering a verdict for two thousand
live hundred dollars damage. But the
feelings of the fair maid can only be im
agined, when, npon hearing of the deci
sion, the hoped-for partner of her joys
and sorrows unfeelingly clapped his
bands and said "it was dogged cheap, by
hokey, au' he'd gone her ten better afore
he'd a had the ole hen."
The justice which has been lately
meted out to the Mormons has rendered
the Oneida Community extremely un
easy as to their own future. Their or
gan, published at Wallingford, is out in
long and labored articles, to show that.
instead of being at all alike, the two
sects are exactly opposite in principle
and action. It claims that while Mor-
monism is troublous because of too many
marriages, the Community of Oneida
freed from this objection because it has
no marriages at all. But this difference
is only substituting unlimited for limit
ed license. Simply to call an institution
religious, does not aft'ect its character
and why. the Oneidans should be left to
eniov their peculiar ideas and customs
while the inhabitants of Utah are forced
to submit to the law is more than ordi
nary intelligence can understand. In
fact, of the two, the free-lovers who live
at Wallingford are the more deserving
of punishment, aud for this reason
Vice and sin, as distinguished from
crime, are characterized by the fact
that though they are as op
posed to morality, yet they do
not injure one's neighbor. Thev vio
late duty to God, but not to man. Con
sequently Oneidaism, or Mormonism, if
kept secret, is an offense, but one of
which the laW- can take no notice un
til intruded upon public notice. But
when communities arise, preferring and
following these peculiar tenets, they
come within the province of the law
They not only offer violence to Heaven
and the holy bonds of marriage, but
they outrage public morals and the du
ties which all owe to their neighbors
and the more open and shameless these
exhibitions, the more deserving of pun
ishment. For these reasons the Oneida
community ouaht to be the more severely
dealt with. Mormonism is far away
and, therefore, comparatively harmless,
but Oneidaism is in our very midst.
Nor have they any claims to mercy.
They have reclaimed no lands, suffered
no persecutions,and flown to no deserts;
but they are striving to undermine the
very foundations of christian society in
the very heart of the country.
and the last in Chicago, more than a
year after the murder was an excellent
illustration of a job" well done, aud
the arrest of Cooper is another, which
reflects the highest credit upon the po
lice administration of our neighboring

of the murder. He told Superintendent

Watehiug his opportunity he struck him
with the hammer, upon the head, from

ragging him into the back room ne
completed his fiendish work. He said
that lie had no recollection of so many
blows, nor of driving the soldering iron
down his throat. He then took the
watch aud all the money he could find
upon tho body, rifled the tin box in
which Mr. Swing kept his valuable pa

premises, going to the depot by a cir-
uitous route. He onlv got about ni-

The meeting ot the Democratic cen
tral Committee took place at the Neil
House, Columbus, last week. Pendle
ton and McCook, although in the city,
did not attend the meeting, and several
Democratic Representatives and Sena
tors elect, and other Democrats from va
rious parts ot the State, who came there
full of vigor and a desire to do something
for Democracy, discovered when the
Committee met that a rule was adopted
to exclude all persons not members of
tlie Committee. This action roost enec-
tually dampened the ardor of the vislfc
inz brethren, and some of them took no
particular pains to conceal the fact that
they felt as if they had been shabbily
treated. After a Ions talk as to the time
for the next meeting, the committee ad
journed to meet in uolumous, on tne zza
of February. The meeting was neither
pleasant nor profitable.
It is a singular fact that in the United
States the criminal is regarded as worthy
of condemnation and impartial punish
ment in a ratio inverse to the magnitude
of his crime. In other words, the great
er the offense against the law, the greater
tlie consideration to which the criminal
is entitled to,' In proof of this one need
but look at the farce now being enacted
in New York over the prosecutions of
the arch thieves of the Tammany Ring.
If they were some poor -wretches,
charged with stealing a few dollars, how
different would be their treatment.
Then there would be no unbending of
theetern law and no furnishing of pahu
tial apartments while the "gentlemen"
could :proeure bail, but, on the contrary,
the poor victims, of these very men, per
haps, would be hurried to the prison,
while no one could be found to offer any
excuse for their fall. .But because these
"high officials" have pilfered millions
instead of hundreds, justice must be
made a mockery." lest, their fine feelings
be hurt by incarceration in a common
cell. OTeuipora! O Mores!
NEWS OF THE WEEK.
At Home.
OHIO.
Although the mere thought of a hu
man being consigned to the gallows
awakens a thrill of horror, yet the detec
tion and arrest ot the perpetrator of a
crime of such peculiar atrocity as the
murder of James H. Swing, in Cleve
land, on Tuesday last, brings to the
mind of every one a sense of relief and
satisfaction that cannot be concealed.
Such was the case on Saturday, when it
became generally known that the Intelli
gence had flashed over the wires from
Xenia that John Cooper, Swing's mur
derer, was in the hands of Detective
Rowe. The fact that the watch taken
from the body of the slain man was re
covered, and that articles of Cooper's
clothing were found in his possession,
spotted with blood, dispelled all doubts
as to whether he was the right man.
The dispatch announcing the arrest was
received about one o'clock Saturday af
ternoon and the news spread rapidly
through allpart3 of the city, creating no
small degree of excitement. Through
out the evening and during Sunday the
matter was the universal topic of conver
sation. Tlie shrewd, secret operations
of expert officers of the law in cases of
this kind, and their frequent success
when to an ordinary observer there
seems to be not the slightest clue to put
them upon the right track, are a source
of wonder to many. Often tlie most
minuto scraps of observation, obtained
here and there, and circumstances each
apparently insignificant in itself, are put
together and torm a chain ot evidence
which leads to the detection of the crim
inal. As may be readily imagined, to
gather up all these facts and incidents,
draw therefrom the correct conclusions.
and then, in ease of flight, to track the
crnninui through tlie labyrinth of rail
roads that would seem to render escape
so easy of accomplishment, call into re
quisition the utmost shrewdness and
skill. It is well known that rarely Iiir

discovering the spectrum or Jincke's
comet. It consisted of two bright bands
in the green, in each of which the light
was most intense in the middle ot tne
breadth by the band, and shaded off to
wards each edge. very satisfactory
measures were obtained of the broadest
and brightest of the bands, and tiiey gave
for tlie wave lengths of the light at its
two edges, respectively, five hundred
and four aud four ninety-eight mll
lionths of a millimetre. No signs of a
nucleus were discovered, and Professor
Darkness thinks it may safely be inter
red that the comet consists simply of a
cloud of glowing gas.

relieves the President of the unpleasant
duty which Catacazy's conduct had
otherwise made a necessity, of sending
passports to the ministers, and may be
regarded as a practical compliance with
the request of the Government for his
recall. It is understood that Catacazy
has been ordered by his Government to

the Apaches who murdered the Vv ickeiv

directly to Date Creek Reservation. The
fact that a large part of the Apaches re
siding there were absent at the time of
the massacre is proven by an officer on
the reservation. The dispatch says that
among the passengers was one registered

not wounded at the first fire of the In

at the first volley. The Indians then
rushed for the stage. Loring and Hamil
lost their presence of mind, and jumped
from the side where the Indians were.
Misses Shepherd and Kruger, both
wounded, jumped from the other side
and escaped, lu an instant Loring was

NEW YORK.
A new order of arrest for Ingersoll
Garvey, and Woodward was issued Mon-
lay by Judge learned at Albany, fixing
the bail at five hundred thousand dollars
each, returnable December 5th to the
JtSuscan ot Municipal corruption, of
which O'Connor is at the head. Tlie or
der entending the time for the justifica
tion of Tweed's bail was based on the
affidavit by one of Tweed's lawyers, de
claring that Tweed "has been advised
by hid counsel to move, and in good
faith intended to move for a reduction of
bail or to vacate the order of arrest." It
is stated that Tweed has applied to the
company in which his life is insured for
permission to travel beyond the seas.
The property of Garvey which was ofl'er-
ed for sale at a great reduction finds no
buyers owing to the supposed insecurity
of the title.
On the same day an order of arrest was
served upon Connelly. His arrest crea
ted quite a flutter at the City Hall. Short
ly after it became public it was generally
talked about throughout the city. The
arrest was made by Sheriff Brennan in
person. Connolly was taken wholly by
surprise. The arrest was based on tne
same summons as that used in the cases
of Tweed, Ingersoll, Garvey and Wood
ward, Connolly's name being added to
the others afterward.
On Tuesday, the libel suit of Miss
Mansfield against James Fisk, Jr., came
up again in tho Yorkville Police Court.
The court room was lined with specta
tors. At the opening, Miss Mansfield's
entry with a female relation created
quite a sensation. Shortly after Fisk
put in an appearance. Miss Mansfield
was placed upon the witness stand, and
testified that a waiter named King had
lett her employ antl gone into the ser
vice oi isk. The affidavit made by
King had been served upon her. It was
false. The portions of the affidavit
which had been already published were
read in Court at the cross-examination
of Miss Mansfield. On the application
of Mr. Beach, Mr. Fisk was permitted to
leave the court on account ot a business
engagement. Miss Mansfield: testified
further as to her past history. She was
born in Boston; is twenty-four years of
age; has resided in New York since
1807; before that at Philadelphia; was
married m r?an Francisco in 1864, to
Frank Lawler, who is still living. A
good deal of argument followed be
tween the counsel, the prosecution ob
jecting to the course ot the examination
and protested against the preparation ot
a dish ot scandat tor the pu blic. Kesum
ing, "Miss" Mansfield said she first met
Fisk at the house of a friend ; he had got
her apartments at the American Club
House ;- she had received letters from
Fisk, and continued : "I have yet some
of the letters; I never gave any way

the money thus received amounted to
two or three hundred dollars a week ;
after leaving the Club House went to

After further testimony the case was ad
journed to the 2d of December. Peter

case, was present at the court. ;
A Derald dispatch from Washington
savs the leading features of the Presi
dent's message will be Internal taxation,
tarin, nnance, the v ashington Treaty,
the Indians, and the Ku Klux disturb
ances in tlie South. It is understood
that the message will recommend the
abolition of all internal taxes, except on
spirits, malt liquors, tobacco in every
form, and stamps. A general recom
mendation is made' of a revision of the
tariff, although no articles are specified
for reduction of abolition of duty. It is,
however, suggested that those only
should be touched which can be includ
ed in the revision with the least injury
to the country. No material change in
Indian policy will be recommended.
The message will allude but briefly to the
Ka Klux. It will be left to the Attor
ney General to report at length on the
question. The result of the labors of the
High Joint Commission will be the sub
ject of congratulation. What further
measures will be taken respecting the
recent campaign in Corea have not yet
been definitely determined. A strong
policy, however is indicated. The pun
ishment of the Coreans for the murder
of wrecked American seamen is consid
ered complete. The San Domingo ques
tion is yet under advisement.
Investigation into the Harlem court
house expenses show a quarter of a mil
lion dollars have been expended for
what could be done for forty-six thous

It is stated that a deficit ot between two
and three hundred thousand dollars are
discovered in the accounts of the Bowl

made good by the ring officials.

The action of th'e'Chaniber of Repre
sentatives in voting to support the gov
ernment's appointment of M. de Decker
to be governor of the province of Lim-
burg gave rise to another exciting debate.
During the discussion a member of the
Left demanded that the ministry tender
their resignations. The Chamber fi nail y
adjourned until Tuesday next. Subse
quently a mob assembled before the res
idence of M. Fothomb, a member of the
right,5,who made himself particularly ob
noxious in supporting the appointment
of 31. de Decker, and became very disor
derly, their actions culminating in tne
smashing of the windows of the house.
So violent were the manifestations of the
mob that an alarm was sounded and the
Civic Guard mustered in stong force.
There are fears of serious disturbances.
Italy.
For the first time since the occupation
of Rome the Italian Parliament met in
that city to-day. The opening speech
was delivered in person by His Majesty
King Victor Emanuel. In commencing
he alluded to the events connected with
the occupation of the city, and said Ita
ly, restored to herself, had reconquered
her place in the world. . He was con
vinced that Rome would remain the seat
of the Pontificate. The relations be
tween Italy and all nations, His Maiestv
said, were friendly, and he believed that
ueace would continue, but he warned
Parliament that they would be held to
strict account in the future if they ne
glected to perfect a thorough reorganiza
tion of the military and naval forces of
the kingdom. As intimation that there
was necessity to conciliate, the Vatican
Was coldly received. At the conclusion
of the ceremonies of opening Parliament

'lhe announcement ot these names is
well received. Prince Adolph d'Auers-
perg was born on the 21st ot July, 1821,
and has served as a cavalry officer in the
Austrian army. Towards the end of
1808 it was reported that he had been
called to replace his brother, Prince
Charles, who was about to tender his
resignation of the presidency of t he Cis

selected lor tlie respective portfolios ot
commerce, I'ublic Worship, and Justice

were standing Mrs. Admiral Smith and
Madame Catacazy. Alsxis, Admiral
Possiet and Minister Catacazy went
through the ordeal of having the ladies

cently over the expected fate of the Com

the pardon of Kussel, but they were una
vailing, as advices lrom Versailles an
nounce that Rossel and two of his com
panions have been shot. The Communist
prisoners Rossel, Ferre and Bourgeoise
were taken to the camp of Satarry, the
place ot execution, under a strong escort,
A hollow square was formed by tho
troops, at one end of which the prisoners
were placed. Tho behavior of the three
men was most courageous. Tho soldiers
approached to blindfold them, but Ferra
ret used to allow the bandage to be plated
over his eyes, declaring that he should
look his executioners iu the face. A com
pany detailed for the duty advanced and
hred. Kossel leu at the urst discharge
and was instantly killed. The bullets
did not take immediate effect upon the
others, and as they were writhing in
agony, some of the shooting party in
obedience to instructions came up with
pistols and give them a coup de grace
and put thein out of their distress. The
bodies were then placed in plain cotnus
and immediately removed. The execu
tion took place in the presence of three
thousand troops. A profound sensation
was produced throughout the city by the
details. The death of young Rossel was
much lamented.

in view of the diplomatic attitude as
sumed by Germany toward France. Bis

cent action of the Reichstag, in prolong
ing the military midget on tne war esti
mate, contemplates a speedy reoccupation

Spain.
A Spanish paper is authority for the
statement that iuigianu, in a nt oi peni
tent generosity, is prepared to arrange
for the transfer ot uioraitar to tne uov-
erument of Amadeus. If there are grave
reasons for receiving these statement
with a smile, there are also some reasons
for considering it not wholly improba
ble. To say nothing of the gratefulness
or the justice oi trie act, ior wntcu many
English writers, notably those ot tne
positive school, hare lone contended
there are reasons wny England snouia
not refuse a good offer from Spain for
this patch of rock, whose strategical im
portance has long since waned. Her
abdication of her position as a European
power renders it improbable that she
will engage in such quarrels as would
make the control of the gates of the
Mediterranean necessary to her. .. Should
she do so with any other power than
Spain, it is clear that the fortress of
Gibraltar would be no obstacle in her way
and even with Spain inimical she might
force her way tnrougn. The tnmv is
past when rivers or straits may be de
fended by fortresses. The experience of
Farragut at JNew urieans proved that
steamers can sail thirteen knots an hour,
and it takes at least nlteeu minutes to
train one of the heaviest guns. How
effective then they can be it is easy to
sec, for between one shot and the next
the vessel has gone three miles away,
On the other hand there must be re
membered the derision -(with which a
similar proposition was received some
tune ago m England. It is a question
whether Spain has anything sufficiently
valuable to offer that would be accepted
unless Cuba, and there are forty million
objections to England's acquisition of
