A Characteristic Sgene. A late
number of the "Workingman's Journal of
San Francisco has tbr following charac:
teristic description of the closing scenes,
on the last night of the session of the
Calitoi nia l)cmocratie Legislature :
Pandemonium . and bedlam, or; the
reast 01 nelsliazzar, was as nothing in
comparison to the scenes enacted on the
last night of the Legislature of u Thous
and Commissioners. - AVe understand
that during the last scenes of that no
torious conclave, duriug their druuken
orgies, one of the country members,
while drunk and outside of the bnilding,
wastied to a tree and robbed of sixty
dollars, stripped of his hat, coat and
boots, aud was not relieved until five
o'clock the nest morning. Wo will
i throw the mantle of charity over the
I man by not giving his name. One man
'was seen running off with a copy of
I Webster's dictionary. Oh! shade of
Henry, Hamilton, Clay, and Webster,
look down with compassion on your de
generate sons in tho California Legisla

The Union Republican party of Oregon in Con
vention, makes this declaration of , its principles
an.l polity :
lot. Unfaltering devotion to tho Union, first,
last, and forever ; and unwavering fidelity to the
Constitution and its amendments, and to tho laws
of our National Legislature.
2 1. Wo wholly approve the principals and pol
icy of tho administration of President Grant, as
carrying iotj practical application the principles
for which we have successfully striven. And we
particularly comincud those points In his Inaugu
ral Address, wherein bo declares " let it be un
dcrtuod that no rcpudiator of ono farthing of our
pul'lio debt will bo trusted in public places, and it
will g far towards strengthening a credit which
ought to be the bst in tho world," and " I would
protect the law abiding cili.on, whether of native
or foreign birth, wherever his rights are preju
diced or the flag of our country floats ;" and " I
will have no policy to enforce against tho will of
tho people. . '
3d. Wo have eonfidenco that tho Administra
tion will wisely and firmly protect tho interests
and sustain the dignity of tho Xation in respect to
other nations, and especially with regard to our
just claims against Great Britain.
4th. We denounce all lorins ot rcpu. nation as a
national crime, and tho national honor requires
the payment of tho public indebtedness in the
uttermost good laith to all creditors at borne or
abroad, not only according to the letter, but the
spirit of the laws under which it was contracted.
And for this purpose, wo favor a strict economy
in tho Administration of tho National Govern
ment, and the application to such payment of all
surplus revenue, from whatever source ncrivea
and that taxation should be equalized and reduced
as rapiuly as the national faith will permit.
6th. AVe make no distinction between citizens,
whether of foreign or native birth; and that we
sympathize now and ever with men of all nation
alities striving for self government.
6th. That we are opposed to any change in our
naturalization laws which shall admit to citizen
ship any foreigners not now entitled thereto un
der said laws.
7th. We favor a judicious system of railroad
and river improvements in Oregon, in order to de
velop our resources aud invite settlement of onr
unoccupied territory and for this purpose .insist
that Congress should make us liberal grants of
aid.
8th. Wo ara in favor of a tariff for revenue,
with such discriminations in favor of our domes
tic manufactures as will not diminish its efficiency
lor the purposes ox revenue.
9th. We favor universal amnesty Jo the people
01 tooso sstatcs lately in rcocinon, wnicn nave
been restored to full relations in the Lmon.
10th. We are in favor of fostering the cause of
c-.lucation, and are opposed to any diversion of
the common school fuuvla of this State to any
other purpose than tho support 01 common schools.
11th. We recognize in the Union Ilepublican
party the measures and men who saved tho Gov
ernment from destruction, and that its continu
ance iu power is the only sura safeguard to na
tional peace and prosperty. And with this plat
form we appeal to tho. voters of Oregon for their
suffrages aud support. 1

A reporter in Hartford undertook to
wflte a description of the dresses of the
ladies at a ccrtaiu balL AnioDs other
tacts lie mentioned th&l 'Mis Blood
good wore a double shirt, neatly trimmed
with narrow satin Tibbon." Nobody
knows exactly what lie means ; but it is
considered rathor obbioous that Miss
liloodgood's -brother has been around
among the newspaper ofllces trying to
interview" that reporter. Mr. Blood

A majority of the interior journals of
California lately contain articles con
gratulating their readers on the adjourn
ment f the Legislature. There is a
general concurrence in. the opinion that
it was the most incapable and reckless
which ever assembled in the State. The
people are congratulated upon having
anything lett, and one paper, tho San
Mateo Gazette, considers it exeeedicglj
fortunate that the Capitol was not
swapped off for stock in the San Mateo
Tannery Company. The Legislature
finds no defenders, except in such par
tisan journals as have derived benefits
from special acts, like the Litigant and
State Organ Acts, while some of the most
ultra Democratic sheets condemn these
measures as being both impolitio on
party grounds and unjust to the country
press.
The Salem Statesman has found a
"champion boy," of whom it relates the
following : " Jesse Bowen, a boy of ten
years, lives with his widowed mother on
a piece of rented ground, across the
river, some four miles from this place,
lie is the oldest of his mother's children,
and has already proved his ability to act
as the head of the family. The little
fellow has been at .work .this epring,
plowing with a yoke of cattle and a
heavy plow, which, our informant re
marked, would kill a man. Nothing
daunted, however, the boy worked away,
and plowed some ten acres of land in
crood style. His last day's work wa3
about an acre, which, with ono yoke of
cattle, would not be bad for a child of
much larger gTOwth. His brave con
duct attracted the attention of the neigh
bors, and a few days since Mr. D. D.
Prettyman and some others volunteered
their help and went to work and put in
his grain in one day. The family have
about twelve acres in all sowed, and it is
safe to venture that there is not another
boy in the country who can show as
mucn tor his ace. We were about ta
ay that he is the making of a man, but
m one sense ot the word he is a man
aireaay."

GAY" PLOWS,
Manufactured and sold for the very low price of
$05 ixntl IYG.
O i
THE simplicity and practicability of this new
Plow commends it favorably to the special
notice of every farmer. It possesses a decided
superiority over all other plows now in use. The
wheels are four feet in diameter, and run on the
unplowcd land. Its entire construction is in no
way complicated. The plow is managed in every
manner with ease, and requires only two levers
toJe used in making any alteration. The supe
riority of tho "Gay" Plow will be clearly shown
by the following certificate :
Wc, the undersigned, citizens of Linn county,
Oregon, having purchased and used upon our
farms the "Gay" Plow, hereby certify that the
same has given us entire satisfaction. Its facility
for adjusting to suit the depth of furrow without
moving from the seat, is simple and easy. We
like the plow for its draught, because the same is
brought to bear directly upon the plow-beam in
stead ot the carnage ; also, because it is strong
and durable, all except tho wood-work being con
structed of wrought iron no c a-tings are used.
xne wnecis running upon the solid land is on ad
vantage over -other gang-plows, in striking off
land and in plowing, not having to make the noe-
essary changes in the machinery, and the scat is
always level, not thr wing tho driver forward or
sideways as in other plows. Hotter work and
more of it can be accomplished by the use of this
.flow than Dy hand.
We take pleasure in recommending the "Gat"
Plow to our brother farmers, as one having no
suporior in Oregon.

The lion. Jno. E. Sanford. Insurance Commis
sioner of Massachusetts, in his Report for 1868,
speaking of Dividends in Life Insurance Compa
nies, says , " The sooner such guarantees cease
to be made, and such expectations created, the
sooner Life Insurance will come to rest on its true
motive, and men insure their lives for security,
and not for dividends. The best and the most
popular companies will then be those that prom-
se only equity, and render all that tbey promise,
and furnish the best security, with the most up
right and judicious management."
" By the Stock plan the full cash effect of the
premium is immediately secured to the insured,
the Company taking ALL the risk. 15y the Mu
tual plan, the full value in insurance of the pre
mium paid, is not secured to the policy-holder.
who takes a portion of the risk himselt.
