IVesident Grant wmk hh sliw haw finally reached Mtmehcstcry'in New1 JHarcyshire Tire dato of tW evient is -August 26, and the ilescriptbri there of by the telegraph is as. folows : "PrwWcnt Grant and party reached this ctty tthlj afternoon, and were received at the station by tho M.iyor in a short speech, to wkicn ho briefly Ttpllod, and then proceeded to visit tie printworks whera k wu welcomed by the operatives. J The party afterwards rode through the principal streets of the city, which were tally deceratcd. y They left for Concord at 3 p. v. Long before thia he has probably xltiKted himself to the gaping multi tude in the streets of Concord.,: While the President is everywhere except at "NVasldngton, his friends are excu-sing his conduct by informing us that Mr. Buchanan resorted every year to Bed ford ; that President Pierce visited the Crystal Palace at New York and that President Jackson spent several weeks of hi j vacation at Fortress Monroe. But if these gentlemen , or any of them, resorted to bathing in the sea, they did not take the precaution to havo an artist on the spot and they did not os tentatiously ride through the principal streets of the cities they visited, re ceiving presents and edifying the boys. The good old Peter Stuyvesunt is tho only historical character, that offers -anything like a parallel to Mr. Grant For if the history be true the venera ble Governor did ride through the Connecticut towns "with a smiling as pect, waving his hand with inexpressi "ww ' -w -w aa Die majesty ana condescension ; veri ly believinsr "that 'the old clothes which these ingenious people had "thrust into their broken windows and the festoons of dried apples aud peaches which ornamented the fronts of their houses were so many decora tions in honor of his approach." There is a remarkable likeness between ihe reception given tho great Captain and his party and that of 'Peter and A is party consisting of himself and Antony Van Corlear mounted upon his calico mare, for sober history says that the little children ran after the Dutch man "in troops staring with wonder at his regimentals, his brimstone breeches and the silver garniture of his wooden leg." These two remarka ble and ostentatious exhibitions of hu man greatness have nearly the same location and are only about 300 years apart. It is due to one of these char acters to say that when it comes to sea-bathing at Long Branch or to the festivities of the ball-room, the com parison utterly fails. 1TIIAT OF IT? The Marysville Appeal quotes Brick Pomeroy at length as favoring Chinese Immigration in California. Mr. Pom eroy is only hoping for an influx of Chinese laborers in New York. If any other citizen of the aristocratic City of New York - and of the State wants Chinese immigration they ought to be allowed to have it. But if these gentlemen propose to settle the ques tion for California, and Oregon, that is quite another thing. This question should belong to the people of each State to be effected by it. There is no reason why New York shall force a Chi nese population upon California and viceverta. Neither does it matter wheth er Mr. Pomeroy 'or any other man or number of mm have this idea respect ing this scatter or that. The question is capable of an easier solution. Do the men who work want their wages les sened? Do the men who cxpecllo live in this country want its -population de graded? .That is all there is of it. If you will designate the man who is will ing to procure the reduction of his own daily earnings from $1,50 or $2,00 to 40 or 50 cents per day,- we will cheer fully concede that there are more won ders under the sun than we are yet aware of. Such a man is certainly a radical, and never can : be anything else. ' '' ' - ' " TIII2 LATEST SEXSATIOX. The latest sensation is created by Mrs. H. B. Stowe's forthcoming book the life of Lady Byron. The book charges Lord Byron with incest with his half7sister, Sirs. Leigh. Mrs. Stowe's authority is Lady Byron, and she claims to have no other. The pre vailing opinion seems to be that, the publication is simply monstrous. Mrs. Leigh died some years since, having passed tlirough life with a spotless rep utation. And it now .remains to be seen whether the simple statements of a woman wholly unsupported shall be successful in covering a name with dis grace that was borne in honor through life. Tho world will be slow to con demn the 30 persons who have passed beyond, the "opportunities of a defence, upon the accusation of Ihe most un happy La iy Byron, ' - TVho Nsrr? A short time since it was anncamced : that the - infamous Stanton was coming to this coast. - It is now authoritatively stated that Beast Butler wilileave Massachusetts oh the 18th of August for California.- Some of the eviis of the Pacific Railroad are now becoi ring apparent. f 7:777, " 7 "J. WHAT IS, AND WHAT OUGHT TO KI2 BONE. , The impression is prevalent that the State Secretary is issuing warrants upon the Ticasury without, stint. If he does so, and there is not a doubt ... - v. t but that he does, he ignores Section 15 of Chapter lfof tho general laws. Clause 7 of that section empowers him "to examine and determine tho claims of all persons against the ,Stato, in vases where provisions for the, payment thereof shall have been made by law, and to endorso upon tho siuno.tho amount duo and allowed thereon, and from what fund tho - same is to bo paid, itf drdwra xcarranl upon the Treasurer for themme."- The parts of tho abovo quotation which we havo italicised particularly indicate tho officer's duty in reference to warrants. Ho is only authorized to draw them in cases tcherc provision for ihe jxtymeht thereof shall liave been made by law. Tho accounts of tho State Printer may be excepted from the op erations of this clause by' virtuo of u special enactment, by which the Sec retary ma v issue a certificate of tho a-' amounts for the printing done and on his own certificate, "by virtue of his office as Secretary of State, shall issue his warrant on the Treasurer for tho amount thereof." He certainly can in no other case draw a warrant unless an appropriation has been made. But in Oregon at present tho law seems to have no restraining influence, and in fact,not much operating force upon State officers. A conspiracy, in stigated, or at least promoted, by the executive, defeated the appropriations and left the State at the mercy of auv one whose position gave opjHirtunitie s of pecidation. Tho odium into which the conspirators have fallen is no com pensation for the injury they did the public The thing to bring most ben efit to those who planned the disrup tion of the assembly was the issuing of Treasurv warrants. Had the Secreta ry steadily refused to - draw warrants where no appropriation had been made, a disgraceful system of specula tion by the occupants of tfie State de partment could not have followed. The unaudited claims of State cj edit ors would have hardly offered the in ducements or opportunities for those operations that liave grown out of the issue of warrants. If the Socrotarv had refused to issue these drafts tho probable object of the conspiracy would have failed. As it is, he supplied the inducemetit for refusing to issue writ of election to fill the existing vaean- cies. These warrants have been sell ing as low as Co cents, and as a conse quence the State, since its only means of purchase was this depreciated paper, has to buy its supplies at increased prices. The ordinary expenses of the State for two years are about $200,000 coin. Say that one-half of f his is paid where the compensation has been fixed and hence cannot be increased, it will require $154,000 dollars of warrants to realize the otherhalf. This makes $254, 000 upon which we pay interest at 1 0 per cent, for say one year upon the whole amount, and we have $279,400, $79, 400 of which is chargeable to mal-ad-ministration. . Take another view of this matter. If the Secretary may issue warrants at all without an appropriation, he may issue , them in unlimited numbers, if instead of issuing $254,000 of warrants he issues double that amount and they pass into the hands of innocent pur chasers, the State is as liable to pay the whole as a part. The ten thou sand dollar bond of the officer would be a very slight indemnity such gigantic operations. against "What security have the people of Oregon that this will not be done is not being done ? The people have very limited knowledge of the transac tions of that State department. They are entitled to have a statement of the business of the Treasury once in six months. They get it only once in two years. It is enveloped in mystery during this Jong interval. The record of its acts is a sealed book,' that is opened biennially. There is not a State , of the 37 so destitute of safe guards, so entirely at the mercy of un principled men. The fault is not in the law, but in the men who execute the law. In last December the writer pointed out, through the editorial col umns of the Herald, a, plain and ade quate remedy for the existing evil by indictment and conviction of the exec utive for delinquency in office, under Sec. 19 of Article 7 of the Constitu tion of the State. At the next session of the Circuit Court for Marion County the Grand Jury took the matter into consideration, but having invited the presence of the Judge in the jury room, and requested his opinion in the premises, they Were dissuaded by him from finding a bill. ; If the Courts will not enforce a con stitutional t remedy against the execu tive in office when he fails, and refuses to issue such writs of election as the Organic law says 'he shall issue" or against the Secretary of State for mal feasance in office ; in issuing warrants without authority of law, then .the peo ple must wait and suffer until the elec tion enables them to change bothtate and "judicial officers, ' . .. ; ; CALIFORNIA ELECTION HEWS i 7 Spceial Dispatehei .to the - "Democrat."

ANOTHER AGONY OVEIt. . The telegraph can inflict us with the International Boat Race no longer. Tho event has transpired and the Ox fords have won. Presently tho news papers of tho AVorld will get through discussing the whercforo'a of our de feat, and then Ihe Cxford-Harvard contest will go quietly into oblivion. Tho fault may havo been in the Cox swain, it may havo, been in tho style, of rowing in ignorance of tho water or in tho stylo of the boat. Moro likely tho Harvards wero beaten because tho Ox fords were tho bigger men. Modern training seems to aim at emaciation as tho highest form of physical develop ment. Tho Harvards were starved on currants and milk until they attained an average weight far below their nor mal condition and far below tho weight of their opponents, and one that seem ed to bo utterly inconsistent with tho laws of good health. Tho conflict seems to havo been bo tween American currants and English roast beef. In such a contest tho re suit could not bo doubtful, aud that the Americans should find their "pow er crone" in the middle of tho race is not wonderful. . ' Tho currant diet as a piomotivo of strength and endurance may Iks science, but it don't look like common sense. THAT AH EX DM EXT.

Leo invaded Pennsylvania ; so did Sheridan the Shenandoah Valley.

Francis Train's cottage, which was built under her own direction last winter, is at the end of the avenue, and has the best view of the sea to be obtained." That, we suppose, settles it that Geo. Francis really has a cottage "by the sounding sea." The following choice morsel of liter ature is from the Vancouver llegisler, one of the organs of the "God-and morally and all-of-the-decency" party.

Editor JUrild: It is time the people of tuts state weio lading mw serious constuer- ing the following questions : 1. Vasit not a singular circumstance that out of the twenty-four jurors summon ed by the United States Marshal to try Dr. Smith only three were Democrats? 2. Was it not also very singular that those three men wero prevented from sitting as jurors on that cose by a peremptory cbal lenge from the United States Attorney? 3. As tbe Marshal and Attorney have their oSces together, is there not strong presumption that this singular state of af fairs was the effect of a collusion between them? 4. Is it not a strange fact that Democrats are always arraigned for perjury when there arc lladicals woo aro guilty or rendering ex actly similar returns of incomo? 5. Is tt reasonable to suppose that Dr. Smith was guilty of wilful and nrcmedita ted perjury when it took tho Honorable (?) District Court fifteen hours to decide wheth er, under the law, he had given in an erron eous return ? 6. Was the oft-repeated assertion rerilied again in this trial, that the strongest ar gument for tho prosecution was furnished in tho charge of tho Federal Judge to the jury? i . Has tho Federal Court in Oregon be come a court organized solely for tho pur pose of endeavoring to procure convictions? 8.
