. Other journals of that State claim even larger ma

people of California as a candidate for Governor,
receiving the universal acclaim of her people, and
creating the most unbounded enthusiasm where
cver he appears before there, as the present Repub
lican candidate for that office, the lion. Newton
Booth. -
- .The New York World says it is understood that
previous to the fall of the French Empire at
Sedan, Napoleon was in negotiation with Richard
Sebell of this city for the Jurael estate, which he
proposed to use for a residence in ease of his being
. dethroned. The lots of much ot his wealth by the
war forced him to look for a retreat of more mod
erate dimensions. He is, therefore, treating with
Saml L. M. Barlow for the Burton Kinneard es
tate at Gleoeove, for which it is expected he will
have to pay $500,000 coin. Meantime ex-Queen
Christina of Spain is negotiating with Schell for
the Jumel estate for $1,000,000. r
Religious Cositxdbchs A correspondent of
the Chcidnt, says the San Francisco Figaro, pro
pounds the following conundrum :
. If Christiana can indulge in dancing with pro
priety, is there any impropriety in nsing the
church to dance in ? If there ia none,; why are
they not used ?
, Hera i another for tbis smart correspondent :
If Christiana may make lore to pretty girls, is
there an impropriety in using the church for that
-purpose J If it ia improper, why do people do so ?
Another still : If Christiana can rule velocipedes,
why don't they velocipede in the church T Go to,

. A lata number of the Pacific, a leading reli
f inns saner of San Francisco, has the following
JeforJV f., commendation for tha Hon, Newton
Booth, the Republican candidate for Governor of
- California : "A
Tha new man is evidently the favorite, so far,
for the office of Governor. There is nothing
tiaekneyed about him or bis speeches. lie ia so
young, so freah. so original, so free from pretense,
o modest, so generous toward his opponents, and
till so manly and so manifestly capable ot doing
honor to himself, bis friends, and the high office
ice aspires to, that be awakens interest and kindles
enthusiasm- everywhere. He carries with him
tha prestige of success. It Is felt that ho cannot
be defeated. AH the nameless indications of pop
alar favor which followed the present Governor,
four years ago, now gather about the person of;
Newton Booth.. He baa been in no- position tu
make enemies. ; Ha baa no-faulty record to be
brought against htm. The auspices are happy.
, The omens are f ivorablo. There ia no gloom is
iha sky. There ia no muttering of a storm on
th sea. The sober tinting of the landscape is
brighter by several touches than usual. And all j
she indications are, that we are to have s fair
field, wc.U-fftusht, and handsomely won, by the i
Republican- leaders. We take pleasure in saying ;
' thU, because w believe this will be best for the
material, social, and moral well-being of the
State. We believe Mr. Booth will do much to

ers, School Teachers, Repentant and
Nonrcpentant members of Ku-Klux
Klaos, and dozens of their maimed aod
suffering victims, white and black.
And what has this patient and thor
ough investigation established and es
tablished , beyond all future cavil and
question ? ' These atrocious Facts :
1. That in all the lute Insurrection
ary States, and generally diffused, though
not found "in every County, is an oath
bound Secret organization, working only
at night, and its members always iu dis
guise, with Officers, Signs, Signals, Pass
words, Grips, and all necessary paraphrc
nalia, with the Pledged and Sworn pur
pose of putting Juicn the llepahlican and
putting vp the Democratic I'artg ; kuowu
iu different localities among the initiated
by different names, but everywhere roc
ognized by the general cognomen "Ku
Klux." 2. That the organization came into
being a few months previous to the last
Election, during which canvass it was in
its most vigorous condition, but is now
through all the South, with more efficient
discipline and effective direction than
ever, reviving, inpreparation for the next
Presidential campaign, when, as they
told one ot their victims in Tennessee . a
few weeks since, "do d d Radical vot
ing is to be allowed iu any Southern
State, by black or white."
3. That this Ku-Klux organization
is the premeditated and determined schme
for carrying the South at the Dext elec
tion of President, and so, by securing
the entire electoral vote of that section,
make sure the election of the Democratic
nominee. .
4. That the officers and establishes
of these ''Deus," (as they appropriately
call their separate bands) are the lead
ing aud active Democratic politicians of
the South.
5. That the scheme has the hearty
good-will of a-4arge section of the Demo
cratic Party in all those States, and the
acquiescence of nearly ihe entire party.
G. That the direct aud chief purpose
of the organization, as swora toby all the
victims, as the assertion uniformly made
to them by these midnight assassins, and
corroborated by the universal testimony
of tho repentant aod divulging members
of the Order, is this : The puttiug down
of the Republican and the putting up of
the Democratic Party. -'
7. ' That while the Democratic and
Ku-Klux Witnesses on their direct ex
amination usually deny the political pur
pose of the Order, asserting that the Ku
Klux are a social necessity y growing out
of the abolition of the old Patrol ; that
they have to ride the country to "keep
the Niggers in their place that under
the influence of "Radical Legislation and
Methodist Preaching the Niggers are
liable to become saucy," and without an
occasional Ku-Klux visit would "begin
to think themselves as good as white
folks;" and that these frequent flog
gings, and an occasional murder, are nee
essary to maintain such a state of morals
among the blacks as will permit the vice
bating White? ' to live in their neighbor
hood; yet on the cross examination, these
Witnesses also very generally, as well as
very reluctantly, confess that the intimi
dation of Republican voters is a - promi
nent and not to be regretted result. -
8. That to secure this . purpose, the
putting down of the Republican and the
putting up of the Democratic Party,
Intimidation if the grand measure the
intimidation of Republican - voters, black
and white, but especially the humble and
defenceless, by midnight raids ; by burn
ing Houses and Store, and the Destruc
tion of Crops; by Whippings of such
extreme cruelty as often to end in Death;
by most iodeccot and painful Maiming;
by Assassination and M urder in such
cowardly manner and with each - hellish
device as may , strike terror into whole
counties, and briug down the Republican
vote from two or tbree thousand to . less
than a single dozen. ; - '
.a 9. That , "School teachers, '':'nd
'Preachers of the Methodist Church
North,' sceui to be the especial abhor
renca ...of; these Democratic Assassins ;
and hundreds of School-house and Meth
odist Churches have been eiven to the

within these three year, have been

Out of the mouths of more than two

this established ; and more than ten
thousand of the shroudless . Dead, from
hidden places by the wayside, in swamp

Amen ! . .:. -c-- ..
A single' instance of these thousand
Outrages perpetrated upoo an Amuricti
citizen on foreign soil, would be thought
ample cause for War; and our entire
Navy would hasten to cnl'orca the Na
tion's indignation. And such abuse as is
daily mctcd out to these humble Metho
dist Preachers, if offered one of our Mis
sionaries on heathen ground, would arouse
the whole American church until every
mind was laden with demands for "Pro
tection." ".

Rev. Peter Cartwright, D. D., the
veteran pioneer Methodist preacher, is

The Eugene Guard, speaking of the
New Departure Democrats, declares that

and political Juiascs are. seeking to be

of its foes," and adds : "Beware of all
such. They will sell you for half the
sum that J udas got for his treason, and

But this is only a starter; next month

. Police Judge Henley, of Sacramento;

The San Francisco Democracy take
infinite delight in snubbing Uaight. Not
content with passing a resolution through
their County Committeo to obtain an ex
pression of public opinion on Haight's
Bread and Butter Brigade, and to "take
San Francisco out of Commission," their'
Judicial Convention has nominated Hon.
Charles T. Botts for Probate Judge. Mr.
Botts is the author of those letters which
so bitterly denounced, and unmercifully
ridiculed the Governor, designating liim
as the "jumping-jack of politics," etc.,
and his uomiuation is the worst snub
Haight has yet received at the hands of
the San Fraucisco Democracy. -
Moral Refohm. The Marysville
Appeal says : ."The nomination of Booth
has at least had a good moral effect upon
ths Democracy, for upon no hypothesis
can their sudden aversion to Letting be
based. They used to be loud iu their
proffers to wayer money on ' their candi-
-dates, but now "they 'decline to gamble in
this manner. This change ot scniimeut
is noticeable in Marysville, where several
thousands of dollars are deposited in
Rideout & Smith's bank, to wager that
Booth is the next Governor of California,
and not a dollar of it has yet been cover
ed by any believer in the success of
Haight."

Absurdities of Democracy.
Democracy, "bedrock Democracy pure
and undefiled," was ia favor of perpetrat
ing human slavery, calling it a divine in
stitution and tbey claimed the title "of
lovers of liberty I The great Republican
party of this nation abolished slavery
throughout the land, and for this act is
stigmatized by Democracy as fots to
freedom !
Democracy insists that the "Republi
can party is in favor of a central des
potism, because it emancipated the color
ed race, and conferred upon them the
elective franchise 1" Certainly a "new
departure" for establishing a central des
potism. . , .
Again, Democracy charges that "the
amendments to the Constitution of the
United States, imposed by the Republi
can party, are - unconstitutional," yet
(vide the "New Departure"), they are
willing, aye, anxious, to adopt and swear
fealty to them ' How honest, and so
very consistent withal ! ft V c.
Is it at all to b wondered at that un
der such teachings the mob in New
York city should deem themselves the
only persons entitled to have public pro
cessions, aud to murder any and all
others who claim and attempt to exercise
such right? What a party.
We know there are house bricks, gold
bricks, bricks one sometimes carries in
one's hat, Fenian bricks, for circulation
amongst Orangemen, and several other
kinds of bricks; but we never heard of
ice cream bricks 'till now. An Eastern
paper says : -;: -. -
'The latest fashionable noveltv at IjoDg
Branch is ico cream brick, which are
put op in boxes and carried in the pocket:
We see ladies daily on the road in their
carriages eating ice cream with a small
silver-plated spoon which is given to the
purchasers. Several hotel proprietors
have it served to the lady guests in the
parlors of the hotels during the warm
evenings." .
Imagine a tender gallant ordering "two
ice cream bricks, one trowel, and two
spoons" for himself and his dulcinca.

arrangement for the disposition of two

be taken, and appearances are that the
balance will be absorbed much more rap
idly than at the rate office million dol

these statements are founded, concern op

Christian to organize a crusade, against
Catholicism. Against ignorance, brutal

march, we arc ready to do battle; and in
this good fight we count not vainly on

About half-past 12 o'clock yesterday afternoon

leaving bim in Chambers street, pursued his way
to Wall street. He was looking lor tbe office of
Jay Cook 4 Co , and thought he bud niis.-ed it,
when he saw an intelligent young man, who look
ed like a clerk, standing in the doorway of No.
16 Wall street, and asked bim where Jay Cooke
A Co.'s office was. The obliging young man said
that It was upstairs; that he was one of the
clerks, and would show bim tbe way. Mr. lan

The War in Europe
Has at last come to an end and the friends ot good
order and stable government have achieved what
appears to be a complete success. Not so " the
war in Brownsville between the old aud new
systems of doing business, which has not yet
reached a termination ; and ready-pay customers
continue to find at Whoclr's store an opportuni
ty to get the benefit of their prudence and fore
thought. Large additions have just been made to
the stock . and people can probably supply a larger
portion cf their wants from Wheeler's store, than
from any other one establishment in tbe county.
Olaolera,
MOW TO CURE IT.
At tbe commencement of tbe diarihea, which
always precede. ao attack of tbe Cholera, take a
!eapoonful of tbe Pail Killer in sugar and wa
ter (hot, if convenient), and then bathe freely the

Should the diarrhea or cramps continue, repeat
the dose every ten or fifteen minutes until the pa
tient is relieved. In extreme casus two or more
trnspoonfuls may be givon at a dose.

To the People of Linn County
WE WOULD RESPECTFULLY SAY
tbat we have opened an office in Albany,
for the exclusive sale of
Sewing- Machines !
and would respectfully invite all those wartlng a
first-class machine to call at onr office and exam
ine the different kinds of machines now oo exhi
bition. If you want a Buckeye machine, if yoa
want a Florence machine. If you want a W heeler
it Wilt-on machine, if you want a Singer machine,
if you want an American machine, or ifyonwaot
to exchange machines, or if .you want your ma
chine put iu good running order, call and see us.
We are always ready and willing to show onr
machines. We will do our best to give satufae
tion. J3 Oil and Needles kept constantly oa
hand for sale. Old machines taken in exchange
for new me.fg&
We wish to employ good, reliable agents tosell
the Buckeye Sewing Machine, the best selling,
the simplest and most durable shuttle machine om
this coast. Liberal inducements offered. For
particulars address, . MINER A PEARSON.
Eig-ht Reasons why thm Backer Sew
ing Machine is Superior to ail Others I .
1. It is the simplest shuttle machine made.
2. It has less wearing part.
3. It has no small springs and compound
cranks.
4. It is better adapted to a large range of work
without change. ... v
5. It has less pieces of machinery.
A. It is less liable to break needles than any
other machine.
7. Tbe Shuttle will wear longer than the
shuttle in any other machine.
8. That it bas the best Feeding device, which
will never wear out, get out of order, break nee
dies, feed unevenly, slip oa starched goods, or
put-kor tbe seats, so that one part of the fabrie
will eome out shorter than the other, which all
other feeds are liable to do. It makes every
stitch of an equal length. It is stronger than
other feed. We can take a strong piece of sloth
and put one end in our machine and the other
end in any other machine, and guarantee tbat onr
machine will take tbe cloth from tbe other, 1st eon
sequence of the superior strength of the feed.
It is tbe only feed strong enough to feed thick
sole-leatber, sewing on shoe soles. No soaping
the cloth or any other aid is required.
It has no complicated machinery, and therefore
is not liable to get out of order. It bas m beauti
ful movement, making nearly twa thousand
stitches per minnte. . .
The BUCKEYE SEWING MACHINE makes
the lock stitch, tbe same as the Howe, Wilson,
Singer and Florence alike on both side. We
offer a premium of ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS
for any machine on this coast that will make a
stronger or more elastic stitch than the BUCK
EYE. For full particulars address, ,
