D. S. Official Paper for Oreg-em. SATURDAY, JUNE 18, 1870. Judok Boise. By a kind of political juggling, played very low down, Judge Boise was very nearly defeated. And although it is somewhat humiliating, af ter having performed the duties of Judge ia this district and on the supreme bench for twelve years with bach universal sat isfaction to all parties, that he should re ceive such a meaner acknowledgement of hia distinguished services in that position, vet it is even a greater gratification to be ured there is a large majority of those who voted against him that are not only pleased but greatly rejoiced to have him returned as chief of the judiciary of this State, upon which he has reflected so sauch honor and for which he is so em i&tfy qualified. K. P. Boise is 'a sound practical lawyer, not remarkably brilliant as a genius, but possessing a mature judgment, equably poised, abounding in good hard practical common sense, and as a judge as froe from bias as one in ten thousand. The people "of Oregon, aud particularly those of the Third Judicial District, will breathe more freely and sleep more soundly, now that they are assured that the scales of justice are to be held fix years longer in the hands of one in whom they have the most implicit confi dence, and whom his bitterest enemies ever accused of malfeasance in office or ' rendering unrighteous judgments. State Ticket. From the latest dates it seems likely that the large majorities Wasco. The official returns from Wasco, received Friday morning, are as follows : Judge 'Wilson 2 majority ; fttvor is counted 8 majority, Chadwick 20, Fleischner and Patterson each, 11. The Republican of Wasco contend tbat villainous frauds were perpetrated by tne Democrats having charge of the polls, ana tiiey wm couvcoi. mc uttnuu vi uc entire county ticket, and expect to win. Costly. The three miles of railroad, connecting the Pennsylvania Central and Camden & Amboy railways, at Philadel phia, cost the two companies building it three millions of dollars. - The-road runs through valuable property, aud costly buildings were torn down to make a path for the remorseless "iron horse," which accounts for the immense cost of the road. bo Tauntingly claimed by the Democracy j 750. - in tho recent State election, will dwindle j From Japan. Japan has lately been down to a bare majority. Whether this J considerably shook up by an earthquake. te the case or not, the Republicans have evidence of a largely increased vote, and the certainty of carrying the State two years hence by an overwhelming vote. The Herald figures up 379 majority for Mr. Slater and 56-1 for Mr. Grovcr. Full returns are yet to be received from Coos, Curry, Baker, Grant, Josephine, Tillamook, Umatilla, Union and Wasco. We have no hopes, from the manner in, vhich Democrats ruled out votes and otherwise abridged the privileges of voters in counties where they had com plete control, that a true verdict of the whole people will be rendered when the partial returns of the June election are sent in, but we believe that in "spite of these wrongs committed by Democratic judges and clerks, the boasted majorities will not appear. The full returns will probably be received in time for our next issue. Tne Way It waa Dvne in Wasco. f V Dalles, June 12, 1870. Editor Oreuomar : Democrats pre tend that the poll books trom two Re publican precincts have not yet come in, and Republicans suspect that Democrats do not intend to have them come within the ten days provided by law. ; If they are not in it will be because Democrats deem it necessary to keep them out in order to "elect" their candidates, to all of whom they will give certificates, which they can do with as much propriety and more honesty than many other things they j have done. According to returns, majorities in this county stand thus: Wilson 8 : G rover 3: Chad wick o : r leiscuocr 6 ; Patterson b: McArthur 2 ; Lasswcll 3 r Waldron, (Rep.) Representative, over Fulton 1 ; Savage, (Dcm.) over Rowland, 20; Wood, (Rep.) Commitssioner, 2 j Fitzger ald, (Dem.) Commissioner, 12; Holland, (Dem.) Clerk, 14 ; Bird, (Dem.) Sheriff, 30 ; Ruc'i, (Rep.) Treasurer, 2. All of the men at work on the mint not in the county 90 days before com mencing work were ruled out on the county ticket, and some on State ticket. Five votes were rejected because tjiey had not taken out their full citizen papers six months before the election, though they were honorably discharged soldiers, and had been admitted to citizenship within the last two months. Democrats were permitted to vote with out swearing, although challenged, when ever there was a doubt about their being able to swear. Several Republicans were driven away by the judges, and not allowed to vote, although they were, well known residents The Butte (Cal.) Jerwtf provlded by iaw. We are legally and justly entitled to not less than ten votes on the State and 40 on the county ticket that were rejected. e can throw out from ten to twenty that voted their tick ets illegally. Not less than eight (per haps more) of their men were allowed to vote for Representatives, and five their entire county ticket, in other ' precincts than where they reside. They have beaten us only by the most villainous and outrageous frauds. And if we submit now we can never hope to have another election with the least degree of honesty or fairness. We shall go after them and crowd the rascally judges to the bitter end. I am entirely confident we can make it cost them dear ly. Upon a contest we will socure every county official. We are going to the bot tom, of flte matter. B Close. The vote for Secretary of State, from latest dates, seems to be the "closest yet." From the count as it stood on Thursday, there will not be eighty votes difference between Mr. Elkins and Mr. Chadwick. ' Mr. Elkins' popularity carried him away ahead of his ticket. Rich Quartz. Yreka dates to the the 14th state that W. Mallory has dis covered a very rich gold bearing quartz lode, about one mile north of that place. The rock when crushed in a niortcr yielded an average of 17 to the pound. Visitors are excluded from the mine.

A village near its base was destroyed, but no lives lost. The Oregonian says there can be no doubt that iu several, of ' the counties where Democrats have had full control of the machinery of election, many fradu leni votes have been polled. Republi cans should make a note of every case of the kind, so that the record may be made use of in case it is wanted. Let the names of persons voting fradulently be preserved, and let a record also be kept of the names of persons entitled to vote, whom the Democratic judges ruled out. We have heard already of many cases of both descriptions. . . , . the Death in the Beer Pot. From the N. Y. Sun we learh that. a fortnight ago, Dr. Firmon, of Stagg street, near Leon ard, arid Mr. Fredrick Fries, a wealthy brewer on Bush wick avenue, Williams- burgh, laid a wager concerning the nuni- i ber of glasses of lager beer that each could drink. It was stipulated that the man who drank the least should pay the score. .. They adjourned to the nearest lager beer saloon and began the contest. Each glass was sandwiched, it is said, with a draught of KLschwasser, with a view probably of nullifying the intoxicat ing effects of the beer. They drank, it is said, amid the applause of the spectators assembled to witness the exploit, and at each libation responded to the approving plaudits ot their Iriends by waving their glasses above their heads. At the thirty- fifth round it was evident that Firmond's stomach Was painfully inflated, and that Fries was also a sufferer. Still the champions imbibed. Glass after glass disappeared. When the Doctor vanquish ed his fiftieth glass, a friend, it is said, called or rather carried him out . to visit a patient. Tho brewer, having com pleted his fifty-fifth potation, reluctantly rolled himself homeward, to renew the campaign another dav. The neighbors say that Dr. Firmond i never left the house from that day until he was borne to his grave. Whether the brewer died of spontaneous combustion or of joy at the victory he had won, is not known, but it is certain that the funeral of Fred. Fries, the wealthy brewer of Williamsburg, took (.place on Sunday afternoon, from hia late residence, on Hush wick avenue. It is rumored in the neighborhood that much indignation is expressed by the families at the. conduct of the saloon-keeper in presenting a bill for one hundred and live glasses of lager beer, and an .equal num ber of Kirschwasser. He is beginuiug to fear, however, that de monish is ver toren, and threatens to sue the estate of Fries for the amount claimed. The exe- I cutioner, however, contends that Fries did not lose the wager ; and the family ot Firmond say that he would have returned, and ultimately proved the victor, had he not been taken ill, and thus incapacitated from renewing the contest. And so the case Btands. Williamsburgh is minus two estimable citizens, and the landlord his little bill. New from Exchanges. NEW TO-DAY.. The city of San Francisco, a Demo cratic city, has voted to aid a'monopoly" known as the SouthernJPaciric. Railroad Company. There is a little bit of inter esting history connected with this matter. On the 26th of April last, at a meeting President Grant has decided the ques tion of the ownership of the Island of Boltmo, on the coast of Africa, with a portion of the main land in which he had been chosen an arbitor between England and Portugal, in favor of the latter power, thus settling an internation al dispute of forty years standing. of the county Democratic Committee of i Simon-pure Democracy is to be found . ... , T". ..ll .

Our Democratic friends don't like the hill for enforcing the provisions of the Fifteenth Amend ment, which they style the ''crowning Infamy' In the first instance they de clared that such a measure was necessary, that without it the negroes were not en titled and would not be allowed the priv ilege of the franchise, and now that the required action has been taken just what they asserted was requisite they forthwith boil over with indignation ! The great objection urged to the bill is that it provides measures for its own en forcement, and prescribes pains and pen alties for its violation. Here's where the trouble comes in. IF men are to be held accountable for outrages committed at the ballot-box, Democrats will suffer, and at once the specious cry is raised : "the liberties of the people are being wept away !" Without such provisions ' as contained in the bill, the law was in operative and of no practical use, said j these Democratic demagogues, and this, probably, was the kind of legislation they particularly desired. If Democrats pro pose to do right, and aro really opposed to any obstructions to the rightful use of the franchise, then their objections to the -till because of the- pains and Densities provided for its enforcement are the sil- air OT.P f bay and some wheat will f. . , . -r- f . ., .. be made, u t have inquired particularly Lest claptiap.

When Joe Meek, Oregon trapper, went to Washington as Territorial messenger, his good looks and relationship to President Polk made him a great favorite . with the ladies-. While promenading one evening, a lady inquired whether he had ever been mar ried ? "Yes," said Joe, "he had a wife and six children." "O, la !" continued his friend, "and isn't Mrs. Meek afraid. of the Indians ?" "Afraid of the Indi ans!" replied the frontiersman, "I reckon not; why, she's an Indian herself I" New Discoveries Both of gold and silver, are reported in south-eastern Ari zonia, and of course the rush - for that country has set in.

Democrat of May 27th, says : The rains of the past week , benefited the late crops so say the farmers. Hay, already cut, was not hurt by the the wet materially, lhe prospects now are of a reciting that whereas opposition to mo nopolies and to the voting away ot the peoples' money was one of the cardinal principles of the party, therefore the anti mouopoly Democracy would oppose pro positions to give the said railroad company a subsidy. But this resolution was squelched by the cautious members of the Committee -and the party deserted the "principle and usage of opposition to granting away the people's money to mo nopolies ;" and now wc have it that the measure has been ratified by a vote of the people of that Democratic city. A clearer case of going back on an "ancient land mark has rarely been seen. Oregoni an. Wool Crop. Tho Mendocino (Cal.)" Democrat says : Our sheep raisers are' now hauling off their spring clipping, which has been a good yield, and the returns for the same make money begin to appear again on the streets. Wool is among the best exports of the country outside of the lumber trade, and sheep raising is admitted to be one of the most profitable businesses that a man can engage in. An acquaintance of ours has sold wool and wethers enough to pay the cost of , his original stock, twelve months ago, and all expenses since that time, and now has one-third more sheep than he had to start with. This, we think, is the best profit on money we we have heard of. convention of the faithful, it was resol ved that "the bonded debt Of the country should be disowned." and "that we are unalterably opposed to negro citizenship and negro suffrage."
