One dispatch says that Espcrtero still refuses to accept the throne of Spain. A second dispatch say3 he has reconsidered his resolution, and now accepts the crown. Meanwhile the excitement attending an unsettled government is unabated. Harding T. Grover. j Take the statements made by L. F. Grover, Democratic candidate for Gover nor, in his speech here last week, in re lation to ChinameD, and hla balderdash about paying off the bonded debt in greenbacks, and contrast them -with the position taken on these same questions by B. F. llarding, Democratic candidate for State Senator from Marion county. In a recent speech Ben. F. Harding said: Tbo questiou of Chinese citizenship was not and could cot bo made an issue in this campaign, and ho doubted very much whether it would ever seri ously divide the people of this coast. Both par tics wcro alike opposed to it. Besides, he said there wag no probability that the Chinaman would over ask to become a citizen, and if be did he could not under our naturalization laws. Speak inir ot the late treaty with the Chinese Empire, he said the object and end of that treaty, like the for mer treaties, was to extend and enlarge onr com merce with that nation ; that it secured to us com mercial advantages that we never enjoyed before, and that this nation, and the people 01 this coast in particular, could not afford to lose the trade and commerce of that great Empire. Ho showed that our principal commerce in the future must be with those Asiatic nations, and li-om whom wc would derive our commercial greatness. On tho question of the payment of the national d?bt, he said there ws now po other way of pay- : 3g that debt except in coin, since the recent fle ction of tho Supreme Coart made coin the only '3-a1. tender; that we had to pay it dollar for dollar iaco 1, and that all t-.'k about paying it any other way was twad i'e. ' The repeal of the 14th and 15,"h Amendments was sin; j't nu impossibility, he said. He differed with the lpublican party on questions of tariff and the administration of tho affairs of this State. Harding sa3's that all talk of paying the public debt in anything else than coin is twaddle J He shows that the prophecy of Grover, that Chinamen would overrun and prove the destruction of this country in a few years, ia about as fool ish a piece of election clap-trap as was ever uttered in anv canvass. How long has it been since this same U rover was contemplating the employment of China men, to the exclusion of white operatives, in the Salem factory presided over by him ? And bow comes it that it has on ly been made apparent since his nomina tion for Governor, that Chinamen, through the Burlingame treaty, were to be the destruction of this Government in a few years ? Judged from B. F. Harding's standpoint, Grover ia a mere political trickster, unworthy the suffrages of the "That's What's the Matter." It was left to the Jacksonville News, a bedrock Democratic journal, to make known the real cause of the S. R. Demo crat's disaffection towards the Democracy of Oregon. The attempt of the Democrat to give the platform adopted by the party a different signification or interpretation from that originally given it by all the leaders, journals, and the great majority of the delegates in the State Convention, I can be considered in no other light than ' as an attempt to distract and confuse the members of the party, and thus cause it to be easily defeated by the Republican party. The Hews still believes in, and openly and fearlessly advocates, the orig inal interpretation of the 8th resolution, and administers a stinging rebuke to those journals who first proclaimed them selves in favor of repudiation and "com pulsory disgorgement," and, later. lacking the necessary sand, "went back" on their previous declarations. A paragraph taken from the iVcic of week before last, not only defends Mr. Fay from the attacks of the Democrat, and proves what we have a'.l a't 3 asserted in relation to tho ms- jority of the i nvention being in favor of repudiation, but gives the "secret of Mr. Bellinger's patriotic indignation " toward the Democracy of Oregon : - The Albany Democrat appears to be wonderfully exercised over Mr. Fay's letter to the Portland ratification meeting ; and is quite severe in its de nunciations of the author. The secret of Mr. Bel linger's patriotic; indignation lies in the fact that Mr? Fay cast tbe ten votes he held in the Albany Contention against Mr. Bellinger's partner, Mr. "ilj V. Brown, thereby defeating him for tbe nom ination for State Printer, and nominating T. Pat terson. The "head and front of Mr. Fay's offending hath this extent no more." So far What they Think of Each Other. At Burlington, Iowa, on the 20th, Aguilla Lawrence, son of the proprietor of the Lawrence House, beat and kicked to death Auton Burback, a watchman employed in the house, and then made his escape. A reward of $1,500 is of fered for his apprehension. . The Dallas Republican says that L. F. Grover lost votes by his attempt at speech making there last week. He did precisely that here. G rover's effort here was about as poor an excuse for a speech as we ever heard why, Judge Whitney could dis dount it just as easy. The Teacher's Excursion ever, the Pacific Railroad to the East, will be com posed of two hundred and sixty-five per sons. . The fare paid by the committee of arrangements to the Faeific Company at Sacramento amounts to upward of $37,000. Only six sleeping cars could be procured the doubling process will Bave to be adopted. The Christian Church at Amity, Yam hill county, says the Republican, intend building a church edifice this summer. The building will be 32x56 feet in size ; the walls will be twenty feet in bight, and extending still thirty feet higher wjll be a steeple. It is Intended' to complete the buildins before the first of November next. . . - ' Hon; S. Garfielde, candidate for re " election , as Delegate in Congress" from "Washington Territory, made a speech on the issues of ther day in Portland, on Monday last, which is characterized as . the most powerful and eloquent appeal to the people ever delivered in that city. -He spoke with thrilling eloquence for an ' hour and a half to more than one thou sand people, scarcely a dozen of whom moved from their places until he closed Tbe Democracy has California by the s throat at present, and the way taxes are . being piled up . and , the laboring man robbed of hia hard earnings by Damo- eratic legislation is slightly hinted at in tho following paragraph taken from the Yrekst Journal. Read it: f r Michael Reese of San Francisco is . taxed on an assessmentnf $2,500 personal property but has $300,000 Jtoaned on mortgages. Mike is a good Democrat, and of course sustains tbe law exempting - tax on money loaned, adopted by our late model Legislature, and approved by Gov. Ilaight. We notice the men who borrow r money don't get it any cheaper than be- fore, -thus benefiting the neb capitalist at - the expense of the poor. Democracy , is - the poor man's friend in a horn unless high fees, high taxes, and exemption of money leaders, f r poor men to pay for. The " Responsive Chord." One oi the California Democratic chiefs asserts that when John Cochrane said, in his . great speech before an audience of 20 000 vciuwiaiff, so itew XONC: etty. that ri would TOte for a little yellow , dog if it - m - w" - i o - airucK a ze- aponsive : chord in the breast of every .4 Democrat t" Voting for little yellow ; dogs may be all right ia New York, but . v the Democracy of these parts have eon- v..

The Albany Democrat as good as says the Fay letter, which-the Herald pub-' lished, was a forgery ; therefore, by indi rection, it says the editor of the Herald is guilty of that grave crime. The Salem Press says any man is a " villain " who charges that the 8th resolution of the Albany platform"" means Repudiation ; therefore, as Col. Kelly, Mr. Slater, Mr. Fav, Judge Thayer, Judge McArthur, the editor of the Herald, and other lead ing men of the Albany platform party, have emphatically declared that the res olution docs mean repudiation, they are, according to tho lress, just so many vil lians The Mercury and Press and Her ald stigmatize all who have left the Dem ocratic party as " traitors ;" therefore as Mr. Grover himself bolted, and, as leader of other bolters from Marion, Polk, and other counties, withdrew from the Dcmo- cratio State Convention which met in Eugene City, November 16th, 1859, to choose delegates to represent the Democ racy of Oregon in the National Conven tion which met in Charleston, April bth, IsoO, for the nomination of Presidential candidates, Mr. Grover is, accordiog to these papers, a traitor; so is S. 1'. Chad wick, the Albany candidate for Secretary of State, who went off from the Demo cratic party in 1860, and voted with tho Republican party during the war : so is Judge Thayer, their candidate forCircuit and bupretne Judge, who ran as bogus: candidate for Congress in I860, (to defeat Col. Shiel, the - regularlyclected Demo cratic candidate,) and whom the Repub lioans nominated and elected in 1862 for Prosecuting Attorney. And. we could co on and name anions' this same sort o " traitors," many more who now lead or represent the Albany platform for in stance : Mr. Bush, who went over to the Republicans and got the office of State Printer for his reward; Gen. Nesmith and IS. P. Harding, whom the Republi cans elected United States Senators : Mr. These will do at present, to establish the point wo wish to prove, but we could name dozens of others. And if all these men are, as their own organs assert them to be j by inferential declaration, "traitors," and " villains, and " Forgers, surely we are right in saying that the very last place an as tho s.'ntiments of the Convention which adopted the " eighth resolution " are concerned, the editor nf t.

Hayden and Mr. Humason placed oh the resolution by Mr. Fay was the scnti ment held and crpreed by the majority in the varioue test rotes had before the final passage of the resolution. Had the Democrat received the nomi nation for State Printer, who doubts that it would have swallowed the whole plat form, "repudiation, compulsory disgorec- honest man or good citizen ought to be ment " and all ? That the Democrat will found is in the same company or party We have stated that fourteen of the seventeen delegates to the State Con vention from Linn county were in fa vor of the platform as at first reported to the Convention, and it has not nor can it be truthfully denied. Dr. Alexander, Democratic candidate for State Represen tative, was strongly in favor of the repu diation clause, and remarked during its discussion or immediately after its adop tion, " that's what you have all got to come to at last." And wo don't believe the Doctor will deny that be favors repu diation to-day. A large number of the Democrats of Linn county arc dissatisfied with the course taken by their paper, and many of them have ordered its discontin uance. Leading members of tho Demo cratic party have asserted in our presence that if the original interpretation of the 8th resolution had been adhered to and proclaimed throughout the State, the party'would have been all tho stronger to-day. The .many definitions given to equitable adjustment," to meet the re quirements of the different sections of the country, has disgusted men of sense. who openly avow their contempt for a party with as many different policies as there are precincts. Curses loud apd deep are rained upon the heads of those who! have been instrumental in bringing about this state of affairs, by those who still, adhere to the waning fortunes of this party of a "thousand policies." have to answer for the disaffection it has created in the ranks of the party in this county, immediately after the June elec tion, is very certain. with them. Commercial. When Gov. Woods, in his speech in this city last week, charged Grover with having deceived and betrayed the late Ion. Delazon Smith, and thus secured his defeat in the Legislature for the "U. S. Senate, Grover acknowledged tbe fact of Fenians. -A rumor was prevalent in Brooklyn that twenty-three thousand Fe nians left that city for Canada on tho night of the 23, Tho Fenians ore in active motion all along the line, and large numbers of men are awaiting transporta tion. It looks like hostilities were to commence soon. Skinning. From our exchanges south, his disaffection, but said he had always wherever they have spokcn,comes the same been his friend except in one instance story : "Wilson literally skinned Slater." that had they (Smith and Grover) un- The poor follow has been skinned and re- derstood each other better, there would skinned until he has become callous, and have been no trouble. This one instance will be in a tranie ot ntina to go up nait when, pretending to be the firm friend of river without a growl in J uue Mr. Smith, he, coward like, traduced his News from Exchanges. Measles is prevalent at the Dalles. Agents of the Government are buying cavalry horses in Lane couty. Mr. Litchfield has discovered a coal bank near the Grand Ronde Indian Agen- j cy. Jesse Applegate is surveying a rail road route between Umpqua and Rogue River Valley. An Umpqua paper says card playing has been introduced into one of the pub ic schools ot Douglas county. The Dallas Republican says : The hay crop thi3 summer will be unusally heavy ; probably better than for several years past. One John, Welch for an assault upon a woman at Canyenvillc, was sentenced last week to thirty dollars' worth of county jail. The Herald hays "Ben. Ilolladay wants friendly legislation." If so, where could he get it so easily as from a Democratic Legislature? itness his success with the one that sat at balem m 1868. A headless body, found near some water iu Arkansas, was deemed a proper subject of inquest. The jury returned a verdict ot "accidental drowning. The Western towns and cities are lib eral in votimr larce sums to aid in the construction ot railroads. The Presbyterians and Episcopalians of Los AngeJes are fighting ia the Courts for the possession of a church edifice. It is estimated that there will be half a million of Texan cattle driven to Kan sas this vear. One hundred Chippewa Indians have offered their services to the Canadian Government in the Red River expedition. The Wisconsin Legislature has char tered an aggregate of 3,500 miles ot new railway, to be built as soon as the "stuff" is got together. Cliief -1 ustice Cole, of Iowa, favors wo man's suffrage, looking upon it as the grand preventive for crime, lawlessness and intemperance. A duel in Indiana was averted by one of the principals fainting when brought to the scratch, 'the other magnanimously refusing to "shoot a sick man. ' Miss Lillie Frisbie is an honorary mem ber of the Frisbie Guard, and appeared in uniform at their recent parade in Val- lejo. The London Times deplores the Wo man's Rights movement in the House of Commons Wednesday evening, and does not believe the women of England at all sympathize-with it. The Marysville (Cal.) Appeal, says : Governor Ilaight has commenced writing his own political obituary. Up to this time he has completed two chapters, lil lina: about seven columns iu the State Sale of Timbered Lands On the 28th April Senator Corbett introduced a bill for the sale of certain lands ia Cal ifornia, Oregon and Washington Territo ry. It provides that lauds not included. within Military, Indian or other reserva tions of the United States, valuable for timber, but unfit tor cultivation, whether embraced within the public surveys or unsurveyed, may be- sold to citizens of the United States in quantities not ex ceeding six hundred and forty acres to any one person or association of persons, at the minimum price ot $1 Zo per acre, except the alternate sections within rail road grants which may be sold as double minimum lands, lhe bill provides the manner in which application shall be made by persons desiring to purchaso, to the several land offices. The object of this bill seems to be to allow persons who want to take timber from lands not yet in market to purchase the lands bo that they can take it without liability therefor. The bill was referred to tho Committee on Public Lands. SAQUB WOOLEN MILLS. Although It ia not known for a certainty that this Factory is going to ran this Summer, our friend Wheeler, who has established such an enviable reputation for low price and fair deal ing, as well as tor tne exoeuent quaiuy oi me goods kept, has on band a largely increased stock, which be intends to sell at the same reason able rates as heretofore.

A nervous, timorous man is almost sure to have a skittish horse, shying at anything, unsteady, and a run away if he can get a chance. Many a cow is spoiled for want of patience and quickness in the milker, and the amount of milk depends more upon the milker than the pasturage. If a man is afraid of ahorse the animal knows it before he goes in the stable. We have seen the most inoffensive cow in the herd . so wrought upon by the' nervousness of a greenhorn son of Erin, as. to dexterously plant her foot in his breast and send him heels over head. A noisy, boisterous fel low about fattening stables will cause a serious loss in gain of flesh to animals. bo important is quiet to them when they re digesting their food. The Oneida Disaster. An Ameri can naval court at Yokohama has ren dered a decision on the Oneida case, clearing the officers of the ill-fated ship from all charges ot neglect or irresolution at the moment of the collision, and charg ing the whole enormous guilt of the dis aster on Captain Eyre. A pound of the Texas condensed - beef will make a ration lor 1UU men. A whole ox is condensed into twelve pounds. We suppose if a man should make a mis take and eat a pound or so of it, he would feel real bully. Despeh-ate. Knowing there Is not the ghost of a chance to elect their State ticket, the managers of the Democratic party aro onering lvepunncans ot lam hill county $30 checks on Salem if they will refrain from voting on the 6th of June. In Polk and Marion counties they are offering five to one that is, they propose to furnish Democrats who will vote for any fivecandidates.exeept Palmer, on the Republican ticket, for every Repub lican who will vote for. Grover. Grover is in favor of Grover only, and will not spend any of his twenty dollar pieces in the effort to elect any one else on the ticket. This is in perfect keeping with the past record of the man. Wrapped up in self, he can see no good in using his influence or , means in advancing the interest or preferment of anybody but Grover. t All that money and downright knavery can accomplish will be attempted by Grover and his satellites to secure the Governorship, but all will fail. Grover will have ample time after J une to com plete his arrangements for the employ ment of Chinese in the Salem factory, the sooner to reimburse him tor expenses during the present canvass. We understand that strenuous efforts were used last week to induce friend A C.j Jones, Democratic candidate for Coun ty. Clerk, to withdraw, but they proved unsuccessful. Ho acknowledges that h voted the whole Republican ticket, Gibbs and all, m 1862, but he excuses himself by saying he wasn't a candidate then and naa a right to vote as he pleased. "Just so. But then hasn't he an "immensity of cheek, to ask-Democrats whom lie characterized as of less consideration than Union dogs, no longer ago than 1862, to TOtftror him in 1870 for tho best office the county ? Will Democrats, by their Totea in 1S7U, endorse this" opinion ex- pressed of ihem in 1862 ? Too Late. It is said that Mrs. Wood hull never would have announced her self as a candidate for the Presidency, had she known it was a virtual acknowl edgement that she had reached the serene age of forty-five. - However, it is too late now the game is made, best" two in three, to corsets !

A French enuiueer has made an able repo:t on the economy of using lime ground to a fine powder, instead of slack ing it in lumps. He estimates the los in using lumps at 25 per cent. Besides this saving of material, it is found that lime in powder is spread with greater facility, and the mortar thus made sets quicker and is more solid.
