Statesman : We are of the opinion that you slightly err in yonr continual no- tic of the standard ; it is uiongnt by some to be cowardly to continae to beat a man (7) after be is whipped. Leland is dead, as politically dead aft Jndas Iscariot Is physi cally dead. Give ns a dissertation on fleas, bed bags cajoles, si washes, or any- other nataral production . of Oregon, but do not waste any more ink, paper, and time on Le lairtl. -These are bar opinions and we be lieve we reflect the sentiments of a majority of the denorvacy of Lane on this subject. We have Tery few ' Democrats'' in this county who think differently ; but their " Bumbers are being whittled down to a point witn great rapidity. Some feeling is beginning to exist in tela tion to onr next delegate, and the softs are at their old tricks, claiming every probable candidate as one of pur (their) kind of dem ocrats. The effect intended to be accom pushed is clear, bnt it will effect nothing. ,' ' - Although the people of this county (a majority endorse the action of the House on the location question believe me they are Bach more tired of the Leland question than that of seat of krovernment. i The one is ir- ..K1 1,. tfc- , K- ... w y "'- '""j , ar ws maw vet est in this mnntv. - j J j n " J ' 4- - . - Hespectfally yours, W.J. lmtt at MkII iUMm.

Further search was then niade. and the old wrapper was found around an other letter directed to Peterboro: The necessary papers were immediately, taken out, and on Saturday night - tne proper om cials were in Florence to arrest the offender. - - Dae watch was kept, and when Mr. 8. came out of the postoffice locking the door for tne evening, one of the official? stepped Bp ruid asked Mf.S. for letter to to . .cer- taia person ; oa feotng;- iatr the post office ine arrest was . mane, . aoa upon nis person was fottnd 923 of the money in the decoy letter. - Mr. Stanford bas confessed tlie crime, and bas also confessed that a coople weeks ago he took t-25 from a letter directed to a lady in Osceola, la Lewis county, sent her by her hnsband ; and also f 20 taken two months ago from a letter to Patrick 3IcLanghlin, a resident of Florence.

Smith, of Virginia, wished to know if it was in order to nominate a woman for chaplain of the House ? The Speaker was of the opinion that it was s question for the House to decide. , Mr. Elliott, of Kentucky, nominated the Rev. John Morris. He is (said Mr. E.) a regular member of the Hardshell ' Baptist Chnrch, a Tery pious man, not of very emi nent ability, bnt just the man to pray for aoch a crowd as this. L daughter.
