A comparison of the first year of President Grant's ad ministration with tho last and most eco nomical of Andy Johnson's, shows the receipts from internal revenue, with di minished taxes, to have been $20,000, 000 more, and the government expenses $00,000,000 less,under Grant than under Johnson. These figures arc convincing, and prove that all the charges of waste ful expenditure of the public lunds, made by Democrats against the present administration, are as false as the hearts that made them. Washington Items. Up to the 13th, 150 bills and joint resolutions bad been introduced into Congress, and sent to tho' appropriate committees. It is probablo that they will not all be acted upon during the present session, which, it is now thought, will close its labors now they nave proposed another Democracy Opposed to Railroads. The following plain statement of facts we find in the Oregonian's "Washington Letter": For several years the Democracy has been stealthily and laboriously hunting around, partly after the style of a bur glar trying to break jail, and then again in imitation of the owl, hunting in the glare of a midday sun, for some hollow log id which to poke its muddled head, for a platform on which to go before the people. Opposition to the war against the rebels was tried until Democracy and rebellion became almost synonymous terms. Then, after the rebels were soundly thrashed, Democracy valiantly raised its arms against the right ot col ored men to hold and enjoy civil and po litical rights j and was again defeated. Then they went back on the old maxim, that "honesty is the best policy," and proposed to repudiate the national debt, ; and have been defeated on that : and ' The Com mo Immigration. Mr. A J. Dufur, who arrived at Portland on the AJax during the week, from a visit of several months' duration to the East, in forms the Oregon km that he has visited all the New England States, except Maine, all of the Middle States, all of the : Northwestern States, except Minnesota, I and spent several weeks in the Canadas, ; daring which time he has seen and con- Versed with a great number of people, all of whom were anxious to learn some thing with regard to Oregon. His main efforts were directed toward show ing the substantial men, of ample or moderate means, the advantages possess ed by Oregon. He made no effort what ever among what might be termed the floating class men who can pack their carpet-bags and start at a moment's no tice. He gives it as his impression that the immigration during the Summer of ' 1870 will be largely in excess ot any heretofore, and that the body of this im migration, will be made up of substan tial men, who come here to better their condition, and make -a future home. This is the kind of population Oregon wants; men of energy, bone and muscle, who will go to work at onee and help to develop and enrich the State. Let them come. Will Thit Come Round 1 Demo . crats who have used their influence and expended their money in f times past, are now loud In their denunciation of the way matters are being managed, and threaten to desert the party if certain persons are nominated in Convention. As it is pre tly certain that the candidates to whom they at present express so much aversion, have the strength and will be nominated, will they go back on what they have said, falsify their words, and vote the ticket without a " scratch ? "We are a little interested to know how much independence they possess, and . whether, after being the main pillars of the party for years, they will now quietly - and meekly consent to ke kicked aside as useless cumberers, by those, too, who have contributed less than nothing to the success of the party. Time will tell. Oct of Grub. A purveyor for one of the parties of Democrats colonized in Benton county, came into this city the other day, and announced that his crowd - were oat of meat, and he wanted to be supplied on eredit until after election When told that the shop was not selling meat on that "lay out," he said that was the understanding he was to be far Dished with "grab" on credit until after election, and they were out and he must Have a supply. If our Democratic friends wish to keep their bands of colonized voters from , roaming, thev must be a lit tle more liberal with their cash, and keep the boys supplied with eatables. Don't, . bj your niggardliness, starve these fellows out, else they may, "throw off" on you. ,, New Republican Organ. It is an . nounced that the ' Corv'allis . Gdzette has been purchased by Republicans of Ben ton county, and that hereafter it will es- : pouse true Republican principles. ' Mr. S. L. Simpson, a young Oregonian of marked ability, will have editorial con trol of the columns during the campaign We congratulate the citizens of Benton . on their possession of an able champion in the cause of right and; truth, and give the new paper a hearty welcome. ( J Heard From. General- Jasper W. Johnson, formerly of McMinnville, has wandered off into Douglas county, where He : attempted to address the bed-rockers ion the fourteenth and fifteenth amend meBts. The Roseburg Ensign, speaking of tlje effort, says : "As nearly all the - Democratic papers in the State have pro nounced this man a fool, we suppose the speech was intended as a burlesque on political oratory." ' ' . Virginia, Nevada, . was visited by a tremendous gale lately. The- Enterprise reports : , Speaking of the gale jester day, one- gentleman said to another, 'Why, it's a regular typhoid V .

Democratic Candidates for Gov ernor.1 It is announced that the Yam hill Democratic Convention instructed for G rover as their choice for Governor. Multnomah county instructed for Chap man, but the Statesman is assured that the delegated are teally Grover men, with a Chapman clause thrown in as a satisfaction to the "meek mannered old statesman." Benton county instructed for Avery, which caused some of the Democracy in this county to boil over with indignation. G rover's chanches for the nomination seem to bo cheering at present. The Two Parties Compared. Here is a comparison of the intents and purposes of the two parties of to-day, taken from the Oregonian, that exactly fills the bill : While the Republican party addresses itself to the living present and proposes truly American policy which looks to development of the country and its great future possibilities, the Democratic party presents itself as a clog and obstruction the way of advancement ; and, in stead of laying hold of present opportu nities and helping to work out the desti ny ot the country, it expends its energy n a iatuous attempt to revive political questions forever settled, and to undo what it could not prevent being done. Can such a party long survive on euch a basis ? Can these dry bones live ? Woman Suffrage. An exchange, in referring to the fact that but few women voted at the recent election in Salt Lake, remarks : "This fact imme diately puts a brighter f:ce on the ques tion of woman suffrage. It seems all the woman want is the right to vote, and if they won't use it any more than the Mor mon women it would be as well to let them have it, if only to get rid of their persistent demands for it." Snow Storm. A snow storm of al most unprecedented violence occurred throughout the East on the 12th and 13th. In Chicago the street cars were obliged to stop running, owing to the great depth of snow, and locomotion of any kind was difficult. Trains on most of the railways were delayed, and in Wisconsin and Minnesota the trains were snowed in. Telegraphic communication was inter rupted by the storm. Spanish Duel. A duel recently transpired outside the walls of Madrid, Spain, between Prince Henri de Bour bon, brother of the consort of ex-Queen Isaillla, and the Duke de Montpensier, in which the Prince was killed, being shot through the head at the second fire. A harsh letter to the Duke caused the quarrel. The Duke, is said to have been much affected by the result, and, as the Prince was poor, offers to provide for the widow and children. opposition to railroads in the west. This new platform was announced in the Uuited States Senate by Senators Thurman and Casscrly, who were evi dently put forward as representatives of the Democracy, in the debate over a lit tle railroad bill to aid the west side road in your State. The specious reason as signed for the new platform, is, that tbc Democracy desires to preserve the public land for the actual settlers ; and they go on to argue the question as it a railroad land grant actually wiped off the face of the globe so much land. Their charge that such a grant takes from the settlers even any land, is not only positively false, but on the contrary, the railroad grants secure the land to the settlers, by taking it out of the hands of speculators and military warrants, agricultural scrip, and other means to cover vast areas of good lands. All railroad lands must now be sold to actual settlers, in quantities not more than one quarter section, at two dollars and a half per acre ; aud yet the Democracy would prohibit actual settlers the privilege of paying that price per acre with a railroad improvement, and then invite him to go on the same lands for homesteads, and starve without any road to get to market. Every man desir ing a home, or a farm, or land, will repu diate this ; pretetided friendship of the Democracy, which invites settlers into a wilderness, and to the comforts of a Snake Indian. The land grant system was fairly in augurated in 1850, and though often as sailed, the wisdom of the policy has been repeatedly vindicated by over whelming votes in both houses of Con gress by all parties. But whence comes this new, this dem agogic love for the settler ? From the Democracy ; from the same party which opposed the passage of the homestead law, to secure free homes to the landless. If honest men, Thurman and Casserly ought to hang their heads in shame at this onslaught on the rights and claims of the hardy pioneers who push out along the railroads, and plant schools, churches, ciyilization and national glory and pros perity in the departing footsteps of sav ages and barbarism. Thus ' we again see this Democratic party arraying itself against the progress of the age, the development of the West, and rights of the pioneers. Oregon Democratic Press. The Democratic press of Oregon is but the echo of demagogic partisanship. ' It re ports the same old tale from day to day and from week to week, and continually mourns over embalmed mummies, or strews flowers over the gravepf ancient Democracy. It seems to be incapable of learning that the Confederate cause was crushed out with the rebellion, and that the ountry is entering upon a new po litical era. The late amendments to the Constitution, says an exchange, are the mile posts of political progress. How much time must pass before the conduct ors of the Oregon Democratic press will freely admit, what they know to be true, that Democracy means equal and exact justice to all men ? Instead of crying over the bones of the dead past, why do they not move onward and prepare their read ers to assimilate themselves with the rad ical changes forced upon the country by their treason ? Instead of heaping abuse upon the party of progress the party that saved to them and theirs the liber tics they now enjoy let them emulate the example of the New York World, and wage a war upon corruption in their own party. Yamhill. The Democratic Conven tion of Yamhill instructed for Grover in this way : On putting the motion to in struct for Grover, but few vote'd " aye," but the chairman decided it carried with out putting the negative vote!. It was a case of strategy, and some of the Democ racy are reported as swearing' most ter ribly. What ahappy and harmonious family.

In spite of Democratic importations the Republicans of Benton feel confident of victory in June by a good majority. -' ... Look at the Figures. Those who are accustomed to descant on "Radical extravagance," says the Oregonian, would find something worth their attention if they would only look at Democratic do ings in the city of New York. The civil list of tho United- States embraces all the pay and public expenses of Senators and Congressmen, with contingencies of both Houses, printing, advertising, library of Congress, botanic garden, Court ot Claims, salaries of the President, Vice President, Cabinet officers and Clerks, publishing laws, diplomatic salaries and expenses of foreign intercourse, the vast machin ery of the Treasury and Internal Reve nue, the Mint and its branches, the ex pense of Territorial Government, of Na tional loans, every expense pertaining to the care ofpublic lands, Indian Affairs and Pensions, the Patent Office, the Washington Police, Smithsonian Institu tion, various hospitals, all war expenses except the pay of the army and navy, Post Office, and Agriculture, and all the expenses of United States Courts, save fees to District Attorneys and Marshals. The entire appropriation for all this work for the year ending next June is 823,- 972,352 80. " The New York Tribune shows that the expenses of that city un der the Tammany ring for I860 were 823,920,295 82 within 852,057 48 of the entire civil list expenses ot the Uni ted States Government at home and abroad.

Says the Portland Call: The "Act to enforce the 15th Amendment" places it beyond the control of Democratic County Com missioners to select Inspectors and Judges of elections who may disregard the rights of voters, and furnish returns to give certificates of election to Lost Cause candidates for Congress and Presidential Electors. Three; Commissioners are to be. appointed by the Secretary of the In terior in each Congressional District, who shall decide on the qualification of voters for Federal elective offices ; and the U. S. Marshals in their respective districts shall detail a sufficient force of deputies to secure order at each election ; and if Democratic ruffianism becomes too ram pant, "the Marshal shall have the right to call on the nearest commanding officer of troops to aid such Marshal to preserve order." The organ of the "irresponsible vagabonds" denounces this as "outrageous and revolutionary," because rebel black guards must Denave at tne pons, it is binding on them, but they will get used to it by the time they get triced up at headquarters.
