Ben Ilalladay is using all available means for the expeditious construction of this road. C STral miles of road are graded and ready for track-laying, which . will commence a soon as the iron arrives. The time said labor necessary to ' bridge the Santiam river may cause so great ' delay that the road will not reach this city by the first of January next, but all due diligence will be used to accomplish that rresultr The firaV estimates made with regarflo the bridge across the San tiam. hare, after a second and more thor ough examination, proved entirely inade quate, and thus Ben HoUaday was led to , underestimate the time necessary tor tne 'completion of the road to : this point. Under the eiroamstanees he may be com pelled o fesk farther time (say three or six months), in which to complete tae .'contract catered into, with those 'pf pur citizen L.a agreed to pay certain sums afmou. To HJTa"TLliSc?ieIoa ec the soad fo city: tiorided th said" road was eoa!ad oa the 1st of January, 1871 :'- and 'we believe all .who 'signed those uJ wjrirtion papers, when they fully understsad the maiter, will be willing to grant further time. Be Holladajf' will do his utmost 4e 11 the contract as at first entered into, we firmly believe ; but if its accomplishment prove impossible in the time given, our citizens will not be led into foolishly throwing away "the chances" by refusing to grant further . time.' ' ' ".' .i -" ' :.- - . r. :' , V . . : Tbe Santiam. Canal. . 1 The project of. bringing water from the Santiam liver into this city by means of a canal or diteh, has been brought up for the consideration of this community, m different shapes, by different parties, quite a number of times in the last few years. All agree that such an improve ment would greatly advance the interests of this city in every point of view, but the cost of putting it through successfully has hitherto deterred parties from engag ing in the undertaking. Just previous to the opening pf the late 'political can vass, articles of incorporation were filed by : gentlemen of this city, with the de clared purpose ot constructing a water ditch from the Santiam river to this city ; but the June election, following so soon after these preliminary steps had been taken, entirely and thoroughly "washed out" the ditch question, and no further steps have been taken, that we are aware of, by these gentlemen, in the matter. This canal project, in our opinion, is paramount' to all others, and of far greater and more general benefit than even the completion of the railroad, although that is a consummation devoutly to be wished by Albanians. If the success of this enterprise bad been assured one year ago, we would never have been compelled to pay a bonus to induce the railroad to make Albany a point on its line, because the assurance of a water ditch, affording cheap power for ten times the amount of machinery now used, would produce such immediate and enlarged prosperity in our midst as could not be overlooked ; and passed with indifference by such corpo ration. ' Other parties, however, outside of the Albany gentlemen referred to above, at onoe seeing the advantages to arise from the construction of such a work to the city and county, and the large and con stantly increasing income that would be pocketed by the successful undertakers, have interested themselves so far as to survey and locate the line of a diteh, and approximate its cost. Mr. Unthank, the engineer entrusted with the survey, etc., gives the length of the ditch, from the point on the Santiam river, where the water enters the ditch, to Mr. Smead's. short distance frdta the city, at about eleven miles. In this distance there is a fall of between ninety-five and one hund red feet more, than enough for all prac tical purposes. The estimated cost is less than half the price heretofore given by parties who have estimated upon sim ilar work. -J'-: .- . We are authorized to say that a party now in this city stands ready to insure the completion of a ditch conveying water from the. Santiam . to this city, whenever the sum of $20,000 is guarantied to him ; or, if necessary, so confident is he 1 that the enterprise will prove,' pecuniarily, of the greatest profit, he . will take $5,000 worth of stock in the enterprise, if onr. citizens will take the balance $15,000. It seems to us that a matter of so much interest to our citizens generally as. this is acknowledged to be, should not be long debated. The amount of money necessary to secure its construction is small indeed compared to the immediate and lasting benefits arising' from it, and our citizens should need no urging to at once put it to a successful issue. If the necessary preliminaries weie immediately arranged and the stock subscribed, the canal could be completed to this city be fore tbe railroad, as there is a possibility that the latter desirable event will not occur before the early part of 1871.' Let our capitalists, bur mill men, ourmer chants, and all who are interested in the future growth and prosperity of Albany, canvass this matter thoroughly, and we ' have not the slightest doubt that all will be convinced that this enterprise is of the first magnitude, of greater and more per manent interest to this community than any project yet offered for consideration. Now is the time to act, and if we would secure the benefits that would assuredly be brought about by the completion of the work', we must not procrastinate." An Ex-Delegate Killed. - The death of ex-Delegate, K. D. Holbrook, of Idaho Territory, at his residence in Idaho City, by Charles Douglass, on the evening of June 17th, is announced.! Politics caused the killing. "Both were members of the Democratic partv. ' Holbrook was a lawyer by profession, and was honored by the election ; as ! Idaho Territory's Delgate to Congress on two occasions. Douglass is a "sport."? At last accounts Douglass was occupying the jail, but the general impression seemed to be that he would be acquitted, Following is the statement of the affair as given in the Boise Statesman of the 21st : : On Saturday about 8 1 o'clock, at Idaho City, a shooting affair took place between Charles Douglass and Mr. ' Holbrook, which resulted in the death of the latter. There are a great many rumors afloat, somewhat contradictory in their purport, but as far as we can learn, it appears that Mr. Holbrook was sitting in front of his law office, adjoining Dr. Belknap's drug store, when he was approached by Doug lass, who asked him if he' (Holbrook) had called him a coward." Holbrook replied in the affirmative, when Dourlass drew his. revolver and fired, the ball taking effect in the lower portion of the abdomen of Mr, Holbrook.: Mr. H. immediately jumped upon his feet, drew his revolver and fired at Douglass, who retreated around the corner followed by Holbrook. A number of shots passed through the bow window of the drug store, completely demolishing everything. In all, about ten shots were fired. Douglass escaped unhurt. Another account states that the first firing by the parties was simultane ous : Still another, that Holbrook fired the first shot. Holbrook survived the wound about twelve hours, retaining his consciousness to the' last moment, and expressed his satisfaction at failing to hit Douglass.' The funeral was to have taken place yesterday at 5 P. H., with Masonic honors, of which Order he was a mem ber. .- - ; "'. V , ' - Amnesty.

Of course insinuations of this character from such a source, are not calculated to advance the best inter ests of bur city to any immoderate extent. In fact quite the reverse of a spirit of buoyancy and confidence in the prosperity and advancement, to result "from the completion of this railroad enterprise to this community, is engendered. ' And what has caused this sudden and unlooked for attempt to dampen the energies of 'our people and stop improvements inaugurat ed or contemplated under the new order of things ? . S11nply because it is believed that Ben HoUaday was in favor and used his influence as a freeman tolect Re publicans to office. Because Ben HoUa day exercised the right to use his influ ence for whom he pleased in the late election," this harrow-minded and bigoted sheet would do everything in is power to injure and retard an improvement which is of the most vital importance to the whole State, no matter if, while doing this,' the growth and prosperity of our city and county is retarded beyond com putation. 'But wb are glad to know that there are Democrats in Linn county who are not so full ef the gall and wormwood of partisanship that. they are willing to see the interests of our city and State destroyed for the sake of gratifying a spirit of party malice, who condemn, in the strongest terms, the conduct of their sheet, and threaten a "reconstruction" if it is persisted in. ' " In a proclamation dated Juno 6th, Gov. Holden, of North Carolinaset8 forth an appalling list of outrages committed by the kuklux in that State during May, and the worst or it is tne perpetrators are still at large and are likely to remain so, though the Governor offers a reward for the discovery and arrest ot any one of them. The proclamation sets forth that, during the month, a State Senator was murdered in open dayligh in a county court house; a colored man was murdered at night ; twenty -one persons, both white and colored, were "cruelly whipped, and scourged ;" two colored women outraged; a colored man shot; .another drowned ; two white men murdered, besides many being wounded and otherwise injured by the destruction of their property, and a State Senator compelled to fly from the district to save hia life. How shall we harmonize this official statement with the claim so often made, that life and property are as saf at the South as at the North. Telegraphic: Saaamary. Washington, June 17.

Don Piatt, in one : of his Washington letters, relates the following . anecdote illustrating the politeness and humor of the late Tom Corwin, of Ohio: He arrived at Dayton, Ohio, late one night, very tired from a long stage ride' during the day. The great humorist and statesman retired to bed, observing as he. did so that some one occupied another bed in the opposite corner. The Honorable Tom was soon fast asleep and snoring tremendously. The other travel er bore the infliction as long as human endurance could go, and then sang, out; "Oh ! sir, sir, sir." ' "Hello, hello V' cried Tom, sitting up wildly in bed," "what is the matter?" "Oh ! sir," exclaimed the sufferer, "you snore, sir." ' "Did 1 snore," demanded Corwin. "Is it possible ? I really beg your pardon, sir."- - - : And so saying, he dropped asleep again and again tbe dreadful snoring went on. The poor man in the next bed again complained. "Sir, sir; oh ! sir." - "I say what is it?" responded Corwia. 'You are snoring again, sir." "Why, really I am ashamed of myself ; I beg a thousand pardons for my impo liteness. And again the Senator' sought repose, but the snoring was worse than ever, and the sufferer once more called attention to the offense. "Look here, sir," cried the Senator, you have wakened me up three times. and twice I have apologized ; what more can a gentleman ask? riow 1 am tired and sleepy, and if you disturb mc again, why d n it, I II brain you with a boot- jack."
