Tho Semite did not meet till 2 o'clock on Monday, and did nothing inoro except to rrud the whole of the jour nal nnd adopt it, nud to confirm the elec tion of tbj ofiiccrs, which was done unani mously, the Bretks vntinjr for Daniels and Rini'orson a pretty Democratic record that makes for them!! Iu fact, they acted more like whipped curs than men, aud evi dently felt completely humiliated. To day the Senate met, and, after the transaction of some business, reception of the Governor's mcssajre, Ac, adjourned to 2o'clo k. The afternoon session was pro ceeding; I had heard a whispering amomr the knowing ones that a rocket was to be discharged upon the floor, and in company with a number had in anticipation repaired to my plnco iu tho lobby. Some Senator proposed to udjourn, but owing to tho re ception of a message from tho House it was withdrawn. After the message was disposed of, Mr. McBride of Yamhill ruse, aud, iiddressiug himself to the President, iinnotiiicid that be had a resolution lo off. r. 7 ith a few prefatory remarks, lie read it, uud passed it to the Clerk. He said that the Li'iaslnture had been iu session for over two weeks, and that it was well known nothing linil been accomplished; it was equally well known t lint the failure was clinrgculilu to the absence of certain Si'iiu- tors that much lime, had been wusted uud expense incurred in consequence, uud that hu desired to call iiion those Senators for nn explanation. The resolution wus then rend, nud, ns near as I remember, it culled upon the runaways to appear ut the bar of tlie benute to aiiswir fur a violation of their duties and neglect of the public business. Kellv, the usurper, raised a constitu tional question, but he wus soon s l need, uud the resolution adopted every ruiiMtvny voting in thu negative, except Mclteeny. JSy this time the Jlouso adjourned, unit the Senate lobby filled willi spectators, ami then came the scene of scenes in len itive history. 1 he runaways atosi ami presenti d tli ir reasons lor ubseutiim them- clvc8. One wetit away to prevent a fraud; utintlier said he represented a Demo cratic county, nnd felt that his constituents would Hiti!y linn in defeating thu elect on of u Culifoi'iiiit interloper bg ant means") another " was opposed to tlio tleetion of any ' Black Republican," nnd took this method of preventing it," 4c. f' llieir confessions having closed, M Urnle presented it resolution, which was substan tially us follows: Resolved, That the nbscnee of brnntors (naming them) was inexcusable and revo- utiniiarv, was in violation of their lining as Senators, uud meets the official condem nation urn! censure of the Senate. Thu mover of tho resolution proceeded to flay the runaways, showing the disor ganizing purposes of both them and their musters, thu deep injury the State hud suf fered both iu reputation and also in a firnu cinl point of view. The sergeant-nt-nrms having returned the warrant placed in his hands for tho iipitreheusion of the members, several of the runnwavs had denied its eor- rectness, and said his charges were toor . much. Thu speaker wont on to Bhow hiiw men could " strain at u gnut and swallow a camel." by referring to tho fuct that the absence of these very men hod cost the Suite thousands of dollars, and yet tney had the effrontery to complain of a petty sergeant-nt-arms' bill, while he was trying to bf ing them to their duty. The exposure was too scathing to lie withstood, and the old fellow who first made the objection im mediately responded amidst roars ot laugh ter that h " took it all buck 'l Mr. M'Bride then told them that their pretended excuses were but adding insult to injury that much as they appeared to despise Repuliltcuiis, they wonld yet have to acknowledge their power tint 4hey were equals iu all the privilege of citizens, aud soon would be the superiors of them in the Government. His speech wa free from bitterness, but ' went home' on the facts. The cowed nnd humiliated Bncks essayed no reply. Tichenor followed in a style characteristic, and proceeded to ek'n (he immortal six. without mercy. When he closed, the resolution was adopted by a vote or 8 to 7 the runaways all voting (which they had no right to do) against it. The Breeks were mad, but said little. 1 don't blame them-moh a resolution on the journals of the Semite is a disgrace which can never be iff iced.

The pre- . k th. rem.inioi dirt of DtloJtoo's i OREGON CITY, OREGON, OCTOBER 1 3 1 natural life will be spent in meditating upon tho uncertainly of political prominence nnd the Ingratitude, of a people whom he bud served with undying fidelity for the space of seventeen days. There are a few men who deserve, tho grateful remembrance of ull the true-heart ed Union-luving citizens of this State. Th ro are also a few men who deserve the reprehension and no doubt will be held in utter cxerittion by all true Orrgonians, Of these men I aim 11 have something to say ut somo other time. The night of the 2nd inst. tho greatest enthusiasm prevailed at this place. The Capitol Suxo Horn B.ind serenaded the Senutors elect; quite a concourse of citizens accompanied the baud. Short speeches were loiulu by J. W. Xesinith, Col. Baker, Drew, Tichonor, Harding, Muyes, and others; shout after shout arose, demon- stating thu satisfaction the citizens felt at tho result of one day's work, Mr. Orover was culled out bv the citizens who followed the bund to thn residence of that honorable gentleman. He very modesty declined being a candidate for Senatorial honors: thanked them kindly for the compliment paid him nud withdrew his head from the window through winch he hud thrust it. Some resnluiious were offered In tho Seiiato by Col. Kelly declaring that the (senate had lost till confidence in its presi ding officer and requesting him to resign; the chair refused lo entertain them. At the Dennett House last night Mr. Colby gave the lie to dipt. T'Chrnor. Whereupon the Captain struck him. The cause was the election of U. S. Senutors. Todv. A Model Mrantar la Jamra K. Kelly, Cm. Ed. Akovs: While in Sulem last week, or.o evening I strolled into tho Semite chamber, where the committee appointed to examine the contested election case be tween Kelly uud Logan was in session. Kelly, iu his own behalf, moved to change the vote of a man from Logan to himself, upon the ground that tho person named had intended to vote for him (Kelly). He argued earnestly ami lengthily iu defense of thu sacred right of franchise nnd the duty of respecting the intentions of voters, and rend at least threo affidavits, besides a decision of the Supreme Court, to support his assertions und opinions. The commit tee, however, refused to grunt his very modest request, preferring to take tho poll books, the record made ut the time by dis interested men, rather thnn the dubious recollections of a person half scot rwr. After being informed by tho committee that the vote should stand as returned, he very gravely informed them that he had another motion to make in relation to the rote in question, viz: that it should be stricken from the prill-books altogether, for tho reason that the person alluded to wag a foreigner, and hud no legul right to vote. To prove this, ho brought both the law and nn affidavit. Hero the case stands; Colonel Kelly wished first to have a vote changed from Logan to himself; failing in thut, he under took to prove that the vote was uu illegal one, und had no right upon the poll-bonks! Strange times these, when a man in Col. Kelly's standing in society, and an aspirant to the honorable and responsible position of Senator of tho United States, should openly strive to procure for himself illegal votes. ' People of Clackamas nnd Wasco, ' stick a pin here I " There is something rotten in Denmurk." w. Left thr Gas , Burxiko. The New York correspondent of the ifobile Regis ter relates the following: Recently a gentleman returned from Eu rojie; he hud been absent with his family seven mouths. He paid his gas bill the day he left, and ihe houso had not been opened for seven mouths, and yet when it was, the gas man to-ik a r. lu n from the meter, and a bill was made out for $52. Mr. Orinnoll went mid complained to tie secretary, related the circumstances, aiid threatened exposure of such a b ire-faced robbery. He refused to pay the bill. ' Very well, sir,' said the secretary. Mr. 0. went homo und told hia wife. ' Pav it, said she. ' Why so!' said he. ' Because, ' said she, 'the day we Ipft New York, I bud to go buck to the house for some article I had forgot. The win dow shntters were fastened and I lit the gas. The other day when we returned I fnnnd it still burning.' The bill was paid, for a steady gas flame had been burning for seven months. What Slavery Does. The bleingsof the "d.vine" institution, ns it is sometimes siicrilegionsly termed, are seen in Texa, where house and crops are burned by the enraged negrm-a, and the work charged upon the whites. Tnen sns.iected parties are seized and hung, or bnrned at the stake by infuriate mobs, acting under me exeite- -v t . V'' And the worst feature of the whola affiir is, that no mnrd sense seems shocked or even aronsed by the announcement that scores of suspected persons have been seiz ed by the people and execuien. iou tain the relations of master and slave, law are inadequate and most be overturned, and the bloody reign of "Jadze Lynch" inaorfawted upon the crumbled fragment of the Beocb. 5. F. Tmf$. Siukom Francis, Esq. Some time since, Delusion Smith stated in Ida Oregon Dun ocrut, that S. Francis Esq., at present the editor of the Oregouian, had h-ft Illinois a defaulter to the Agricultural Society of that State. Thu charge has found its way buck to Illinois, and Is thus disposed of by the State Journal, Tho Journal of Aug. 20, after copying a refutation of the slander, proceeds to say: " It is in reply to some most villainous strictures upon our old friend Simeon Francis, Esq., published in the Oregon Democrat, a pam-r In the tiny and under the thumb-nail uf that well known political j sharper, Delusion Smith. We are glad to; hava this opportunity of pronouncing the remarks he makes in regard to Mr. Francis a most unwarrantable and foul-mouthed slander. As the Oregoniun states, Sir. Francis wus for several years tho Corres ponding Secretary of the initio's Agricul tural Society, but thut he left hero a de faulter, or in debt to the Society one cent, is wholly untrue. This story was started here, after Mr. Fruncis' departure for Oregon, by an ephemeral sheet, called the Independent, which after leading a sickly existence by mentis of bluck-mailing practi ces, winked out in debt to everybody. The malicious fulseliooil wns promptly corrected by the Stute Journal, and other newspapers through thu West to be refieated it seems now with additions ni) in Oregon. Wu are pleased to add that Mr. Fruncis retains the warm personal esteem and friendship of his old acquaintances, not only here, but all through tho atute, ana while they wish him well where he is, would welcome him buck to his old home with the most cordial greeting." CuiTtCAt. Posmox of United Italy. The Paris Constitutinnm-I publishes a letter from Turin, bearing the signature of M. Qrniidgnillot, commencing us follows: " Italy is now entering the most critical period of her regeneration; henceforth she .stakes on n single curd either her ruin or her salvation. Engaged as she is iu the path npou which she lias been thrown by the expedition of Garibaldi, Italy will, within two months, be either free and completely independent, or Austria will iisruin reign, ami this time from Messina to Turin." Tho letter then details the course of pnst events, and states that the nego- I ... - . . I . i m I - I unions uetwecn inpies attu i leiininiii were unsuccessful, by reason of Garibaldi's refusal to nrrest his course, nnd on account of the enthusiasm prevailing throughout Italy having paralyzed the measures which Piedmont might otherwise h ive tukeu to prevent further complication. Thr " Fancy'' o tmr Presidency. ThoTrny Times if the 25th of August, but we shall respect the Constitution nnd snys: Yesterday morning, John Morrissty every Constitutional obligation, received information that a Southern gen- Aud when this intent sliull becomo appn tlemiin, stopping ut one of the Ito'elt at rent: when the bug l e ir of Federal inter- Saratoga, was desTons of bett'ng $2,000 i Hint Abraham Lincoln would not be the next President. Morrissey, it is well known, is a Democrat ; but he is also a man of business nnd makes politics subservient to his business interests. Entertaining the opinion that $2,000 could not be made in nny easier wny, Morrissey sent word to the gentleman that he desred an interview; nnd accordingly yi-stirday at 10 p. m., ti e two met and after drawing n,i the term of. the bet, the money was staked and placid , in the Imnds of Mr. Marvin, the proprietor of the Marvin House, who deposited it in the bank for safe keeping. Morrissey wishes it understood that while he shall vote for Douglas, ho considers Lincoln certain of an election. The Crops of Enoi.and. The wheat crop of Great Britain is shorter than it has been for years, and the old wheat on hand will scarcely last nnttl the new ts ready lor use. They miy exppct some supplies from the Baltic nnd Black seas, but nt high rates, as 100 square miles of that fine wheat region have been devastated by locusts. The crop in France is nlso short, and prices have risen iu consequence. The prospect for a corn crop, too, is very poor; and in consequence of a small grass crop and other causes, beef arisen to star vation prices, and public meetings have beon held in several towns, to enter into agreement to abstnin from its use for the present. The result of all this will be great demand for breadstuff from the United States, and conttq it-nt h gh prices.

What a grent and momentous triumph it will lie I Except the election of Lincoln and Hamlin, there will be nothing achieved of so much iiutioniil importance during this campaign. A U. b. benutor is a greut power to the party to which he belongs, and especially would it be so to tho Re publican party should they secmo a muu of the rich eloquence, the long experience, large capacity aud zealous Republicanism , ., h. V. Baker. And Ins colleague, though not a Republican, may be relied upon as unalterably opposed to the slavery, extending policy of tho slave-code De mocracy. When the news of tho election of these two men shall be fl.ished across the wires of tho Eastern States, there is not a Republi can, nny, not an Anti-Lecomptou Dem ocrat, whose heart will not leap up with n thrill of pleasure, nud tho cannon shall boom forth the merry news from hill-top to hill-top till the whole North Is aglow with joy. The news will give new hope and courage to the party cvrrywhere, nnd will add thousands of rotes to Lincoln's majori ty. Indeed it will bo a glorious event; nnd may confusion overtake those who would defeat so grand a consummation. Tho election of Ctd. Baker after so long nnd faithful service in the causa is but u .just reward. Against odds, nnd n I most against hope, he has laiiorea lor lite prin ciples of Republicanism, nud there it a nat ural justice in placing him among the first minds of thn country, where ho can labor effectually for this section of tho country which hu has donu so much to politically renovate nnd reform." Wiiex wb Succeed, What Then? Gov. Chaso of Ohio was serenaded lately at Toledo, and in response to a welcome speech, said, among other things: " And when we succeed what then? Shall we return evil for thu injustice nud calumny to which Republicans have been so continually subjected? No, gentlemen no! wo will try to prove that the success of a party may be the success of a whole people; that the triumph of our cause is compatible with tl 0 best interests of the whole country; our triumph will pro to ns just to every portion of it, and generous to every person who bears the nnmo or an American citizen. Shall we invade, in the spirit of sectionalism, the rights of any State? No Republican dreams of it. Wo shnll Istnythe extenson of Slaviry, certainly; ference with the internal concerns of the States, sliull be expelled from tho public mind by an honest, patriotic.

Among the principal speakers at a Bell-Everett rutitlcntioti meeting nt Brunswick, New Jersey, on the 15th August, says tho Tribune, was tho Hon, J. Morrison Harris, M, C, of Mary- land. This gentleman spoke of the Repub lican party und its Presidential cundidalo with u common sense thut Is rare iu a Southern politician. We quote: " When Abraham Lincoln is elected, what practical thing is he to do iu connec tion with sluviry? 1 believe the first act of his Administration wilt be to mitionulizo the party, Ho will endeavor to strengthen it South, and mnko it acceptable there. 1 Great applause from tho Republicans. s there a Republican that would voto for him if he didn't believe he wonld iiiuke his Administration a National one? Why, then, don't yoa nmku it tho party of thu country before the election? 1 have mingled in Congress for years with Republicans, and I haven't heard tho Grst man of them say thut they wero going to iutvifcro with the institution of slavery. Nobody who Isn't a fool can suppose that President Lincoln will do anything in connection with slavery in the Stutes where it exists. There the Institution Is placed beyond tho jurisdiction of the Federal Gov ernment. But ho will use the power and influence of tho Executive nrm to prevent its extension Into the frea Territories of the Union; and in this ho will only bo faithful to tho spirit of tho Jefleiion orJinuuco of 1787. Mr. Harris is then right, both when ho suys that the result uf Mr. Lin coln's election will bo to fully nntional'za the Republicnu party by giving it n stand ing iu States whero it Is not now tolerated, and also when lie declares that ho has no fenrsofevil consequences from its success iu tho present canvass. Indocd, this suc cess is what patriotic men everywhere ought to desiro uud to labor for. It will tend, ns nothing else can, to settle the ques tion of slavery extension, nud to rcmovo that agitating element from our politics. tSJT The Secessionists, muddeucd to desperation by the utter hopelessness of their cause, aro resorting to insult and threats to intimidate the friends of Judge Douglas.

Emer son Etheridge mudo a speech at Dresden, Tennes ce, during which lie read tho Black Republican platform, nud asked if there was any man there who could find fault with it. He further said that the election of Lincoln on that platform would givo penco to tho country, whilst Breckinridgo would dissolve the Union."
