At 8i o'clock prayer was offered by the Rev. H. P. Dunning. After music by the 2d Brigade Band, came the oration of Mari on Reed Elliott, B. S., on "Economy of Public Morals." That economy which re sults from public morality. To undervalue the importance of a high standard of public morality, is to enshroud our country in a night of deepest darkness through which in dnstrial advancement will shine as a small taper. None but the good can make good laws, none but the just can administer jus tice. Philosophy is essential to morality It holds in check the fanaticism that put Socrates to death, and that opposes the in vestigation of nature at the present day. Oration, by B. T. Soden, B. S., on "Com munism." Progress is the watchword of to day. The progress of a nation is a striking example of evolution. From the primitive state of man to the present, is a long stride upward and we may readily conclude that the human race will continue to advance. Communism bars the onward march of pro gress it means the abolition of property. The good government must give protection not aid, to the individual. Democracy leaves the man free. Doctrines advocating free education by the state are a species of Communism. Must the parent be relieved of the first duty he owes his child ? A child is as much entitled to an education as to food and raiment now if the state as sumes the function of parent in one elemen tary branch, why not in all ? Mr. Smith is responsible, as father, for the care of the minds as well as the bodies of his chil dren ; but, in the capacity of citizen, he must look after the mental training of Mr. Jones' children. Parents thus pay only about one sixth to educate their own chil dren, five sixths to educate the children of other peoble. So they think. Hence the attention to children at large is five times as great as that to their own. The private be ing so small is liable to disappear altogether. The condition of a nation depends upon the nature of the units. Early settlements are found near natural outlets ; the system of protection virtually removs these settlements inland. In spite of the numerous attempts to ruin our country, she moves majestically forward to her motto, Excelsior. Oration of Ernest White, A M., on "The World is still deceived by Ornament." The W boy soon learns that his effort to catch the echo is vain, and desists from further at tempts. But man is not so wise. He lo cates his castle of happiness, but fails to find it it is always a little ahead. The mind can make a hell of heaven, a heaven of hell. Our chief happiness is in auticipa tion. Napoleon deceived the world. We see things ft a false light. " O, wad some power the giftie gie us, To see ourselves as ithers see us. ,' Oration by Dayton Elliott, JJ. ., on "Philosophy, its conditions and value." Philosophy seeks after truth. It tries to re move difficulties from the paths of others. A preliminary doubt is one of the conditions of investigation. Truth must be pursued, regardless of the direction in which it may lead Young Solomons discuss the profound principles of philosophy, without knowing ' anything about them. They thus bring the matter into disrepute. Philosophy is the most powerful weapon of Theology it con vinces. It enables the theologian to ex pound the Bible : " The book where each his dogma seeks ; The book where each his dogma finds.' The speeches were well delivered. After the conferring of degrees. President Arnold made some forcible remarks, full of good ad vice. The graduates were cautioned against being arrogant not to profess to know too much in fact, not to profess to know any thing. Then came the big gun, Hon. Associate Chief Justice R P. Boise, of Salem. He kindly surrendered his whole speech for publication. Your reporter found it impos sible to decide which part to leave out ; hence you have it complete. The ever-faithful 2d Brigade, Band was on band during the entire exercises, and r rot. Mslner keeps them tooted up in fine condi tion, Reporter.

The available land, and some of it of excellent quality, along the river and Bay, is being taKen up rapiaiy. The Oneatta mills are now turning out about sixteen M. feet, per day, of excellent lumber. The prospects for this portion of the county were never more flattering. Hurry up the railroad. First Fruits. Last Monday Mr. C. W. Royal, of this city, placed some very nice young potatoes upon our table, raised in his own garden. Thanks.

Mr. Wall is Nash is pushing forward the improvements on " Hill Farm," and expects soon to have his house ready for occupancy. The rains have ceased, the clouds dis persed, and the weather is delightful. Just such as soon makes us forget the "stormy past." The Marionettes did not have a full house on,' Wednesday evening, owing partly to the failure in coming as advertised, and more to the " dollar" embargo. The annual conference of the Evangelical Association for Oregon, is in session, in this city, and will continue over Sabbath. Preaching every evening. Wild strawberries are coming in quite freely, and sell at 50 cents per gallon. They are not quite as early or fine, as usual, in consequence of the long-continued rains. Last Tuesday Messrs. Bentley & Motley put on their "Concord coach and four" be tween this place and Albany. The road is rather rough for it, however.

Port land seems to be unfortunate as respects school houses, A few months since the Bishop Scott Grammar School building in Portland, was destroyed by fire, supposed to be the work of incendiaries. Last week the Harrison Street school building, one of the finest in the city, was burned to the ground. It cost about $25,000 and. was in sured for $10,000. There seems to be little doubt that the late fire was, also, caused by incendiarism. LIST OF LETTERS Remaining in the post office at Corvallis, Benton County, Oregon, June 1, 1879.

THE HARBOR OF REFUGE, At the regular meeting of the Linn County Council, P. of H., held on the 24th day of May, the following resolutions relative to the location of the proposed Harbor of Refuge were passed unanimously : Whereas. Congress having appropriated money for the construction of a Harbor of Kefuge on the Pacific coast, somewhere be tween San Francisco Harbor and Puget Sound, and Whereas, by direction of Congress the matter of the selection of the site of said Harbor is left to the discretion of the Pa- ific Coast Board of United States Engineers, therefore be it Resolved, That the Linn Countv Council, P. of H. deeming Cape Foulweather, on the Western coast of Benton County, Oregon, the most available, practical, accessible and economical point on the entire Northwest coast for such a Harbor, that the ground up on the point named contains sufficient mater ial for the construction of said Harlw, that said ground belongs to the Government, and thus the material can be had free of cost; that the severe ocean storms of the coast oc cur as a rule along the Central Oregon sea coast ; that Cape Foulweather Harbor can be made to accommodate the commercial and shipping interests of our State in the shortest possible tirre, and at the least rxf sible cost, and that therefore we ask said Board of U, S. Engineers to cosider the availability, and if, after a thorough examin ation of it as well as rival points they find the tacts claimed tor it to be uncontro verted, they give it the preference which we are couvinced it merits. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the Board of Pacific Coast Engin eers, and also that Oregon papers be request ed to publish the same. CJ. Farrish, President. Passed by the Council on the 24th of May. CHEAP TRANSPORTATION. The following startling: announce. ment was made in an Omaha paper, of recent date, and indicates an entire revolution in railroad charges. Nev er was the competition between water and rail carriage so sharp as at pres ent, and where it will end no human power can loretell : The extremely low railroad freight rates now ruling are illustrated by the recent shipments of 1000 cars of grain, equal to 450,000 bushels, from St. Louis to New i ork, at 12 cents per hundred pounds. It was intended that the lot should go down the river to New Orleans, but the railroad agents made the lowest through rate to .Liverpool. THE "SOLID SOUTH." The action and debates of the Democratic Congress for the past sixty days have shown the animus of the Southern members to be the same as before the war ; and the tone of the Democratic press, throughout this land, from Maine to Oregon, and from the lakes to the gulf, show that the heresy of states rights is again rampant. In speak ing of the " solid South," in a debate, in the U. S. Senate, May 10th, Senator Zacha riah Chandler, said : " It was just as solid in 1857 as it is to-day. It has been so. id ever since, and it was no quarrel with the North that made it solid. It was solid because it was determined to either " rule or ruin" this nation. It tried the "ruin" scheme with arms ; and now having failed to ruin this Government with arms, it comes back to ruin it by withholding supplies to carry on the government. Sir, the men have changed since 1857. There is now but one member on this floor who stood here with me on the 4th of March, 1857. The men have changed, the measures not at all. .You then fought for the overthro w of this Governm jut. and now you vote and talk for the same purpose. You are to-day, as you were then, determined to either rule or ruin this Government, aud you cannot do either." CHINESE INQUISITION. It has been asserted, frequently, that the Chinese in San Francisco and Portland hold secret courts, and have jurisdiction over their countrymen to the extent of taking life. Recent disclosures, in Portland, leave little room for doubt on this subject. The Portland Standard, of recent date, claims to have knowledge of the existence of a Chi nese prison in that city, of which the fol lowing description is given : Inside the new brick building on the cor ner of Alder and Second streets, by the partner of Quong Ye Loung, is a prison. One of the mechanics who put in the iron work defies any man to tind it in one week's time, so skillfully is it hidden away. He thinks he can find it, but is not certain and upon his return to this city will conduct Chief Besser to its entrance if possible. The route to it is through a Chinese maze of dark passages m the center of the building. winding about here and there until arriving in a small room in the center. From this you pass through a spring door of exquisite design and completely hidden from view, ascending by another maze of passages and stairways until reaching a heavy trap door in the floor of the prison. Once inside, the victim is closed from the outer world and stands in the presence of a slow torturing death. His efforts to escape or give an alarm are as useless as attempting to stay the flowing tide. The workman says it is the most secure prison he ever saw. and in sists that there is not a man in the city of roraana wno can gam access to it in one week's time, if he were turned loose inside the building with a good lamp. What crimes are perpetrated here, what terrible sufferiug and torture endured until death re lieves the victim is not known, and in all probability never will be. Marriages. During the month of May marriage licenses were issued to the follow ing persons by the county clerk : Wm. L Raglin and Sarah McClure ; M S. Wood cock and Emma J. Simpson ; Jesse Henkle and Nancy Maston ; Foreman Baxter and Louisa A Mefford ; Wm. Brady and Mary Todd ; Franklin Peterson and Frankie Savage. Comparative Figures. The following figures will show the number of persons brought before the city recorder of Corval' lis for violation of city ordinances during the last three years : 1876-7, 62 ; 1877-8, 91 ; 1878-9, 55. Crimes of the last year are classified as follows : Drunk and disorderly, 34 ; assault and battery, 15 other offenses, "Welcome Stranger," is the name of a very neat little sheet devoted to real estate intersts, and published by Wrenn & Holgate, Real Estate Agents, Corvallis. The print ing reflects credit upon Carter & Keady. Salem Town Talk. The authorities are looking up a man by the name of Don By land, who has been teach ing school in the vicinity of Scio. It is al leged he has been intimate with some of his female scholars. He disappeared very sud denly one day last week, and at last ac counts had not been caught. MODERN 8OCIAI8M. It is not generaly known that the late John Stuart Mill, perhaps the ablest of mod ern writers on political and social science, commenced in the year 1869 a book on Soci alism which, if it had been completed, would probably have been recognized as the great est of his works. , Manuscript chapters of the incomplete work have recently been brought to light, and are found so nearly complete in themselves, and so ably to dis cuss questions now most prominent in the public thought, that a London Review, and also The Library Magazine of New York are publishing them. They are announced to appear in book form on April 25th, publish ed by the A:erican Book Exchange, New York. The price, post-paid, in cloth, will be 50 cents, or in paper 25 cents- It is a work which all students of political and social topics, and all enlightened citizens, will be glad to read. They All Take It. When the system is run down to that extent that you pass sleepless nights, are nervous and irritable, have gloomy forebod ings, sour stomach, sick headache and coat ed tongue, do not enroll yourself as high pri vate, in the rear rank, under General Debil ity, but cheer up and try White's Prairie Flower, The Great Liver Panacea, now for sale in every city and town on the Continent. No medicine ever compounded is half its equal for the cure of DYSPEPSIA and LIV ER COMPLAINT. It has a specific power over the liver, and by curing the liver Dys pepsia and all other diseases arising from it, vanish as if by magic, Sample bottles are sold at the small price of 25 cents that wil convince you of its merits. Large bottles 75 cents for sale everywhere. Astonishing Success. It is ,the duty of every person who has used Bosohee's German Syrup to let its wonderful qualities be known to their friends in curing Consumption, severe Coughs, Croup, Asthma, Pneumonia, and in fact all throat and lung diseases. No person can use it without immediate relief. Three dos es will relieve any case, and we consider it the duty ot all Urugtrists to recommena it to the poor dying consumptive, at least to try one bottle, as 40,000 dozen bottles were sold last year, and no one case where it fail ed was reported. Such a medicine as the German Syrup cannot be too widely known. Ask your Druggist about it. Sample bottles to trv sold at 10 cents. Regular sizsrTo cts. For sale by Graham & Hamilton and Allen & Woodward. Consumption Cured. An old physician retired from active prac tice, having had placed in his hands by an East Indian missionary the formula of a sim ple vegetable remedy for the speedy and per manent cure of Consumption, Bronchitis, Catarrh, Asthma, and all Throat and Lung affections, also a positive and radical cure for General Debility and all nervous com plaints, after having thoroughly tested its wonderful curative powers in thousands of cases, feels it his duty to make it known to his suffering fellows. The receipe will be sent free of charge, to all who desire it, with full directions for preparing and successfully using. Address with stamp, naming this paper Dr. J. C.

Ed. G a- ZBTTE.J TESTIMONIALS: Albaky, April 20, 1879. The undersigned physicians of Albany, having seen the apparatus used in Ames' process for preserv ing meats, etc. , and heard the manner of its use ex plained, together with the chemicals used, will say, that as used, we do not consider there is any danger to the health to be feared, either in operating the ap paratus, or in using the articles preserved. Not hav ing seen a protracted test of the process of preserva tion by the chemicals, as used in the manner indicat ed, we will only say that the theory sounds reasona ble, and we can assign no cause why the process should not prove a success. 3 A.

The undersigned physicians of Corvallis, Oregon, having had explained to us Ames' process for preserv ing meats, etc. , can say that there is nothing un healthy about it, as used, and that nor fears need be apprehended on that account.
