Substantial growth and develop
ment depend on habits formed in
the school of labor. In educational
development, the rii.ciple aim of
the intelligent instructor is first to
train the budding faculties of his
pupils into right habits ot thinking
and exertion. When this aim is
reached, wlun habits of patient
search and untiring activity are se
cured, the task of miarting facts
and principles in science and philos
ophy .is comparatively easy. The
acquirement of these habits renders
the pupil self-sustaining, and his
progress, in learning is raipd and
substantia 1.
As this principle of forming cor
rect habits is necessary .in education
al development, so isf it in the same
ratio necessary to be cultivated in
the successful development of the
resources ot a country. The habits
and customs of the lirt settlers are
the most potent in their influence.
They set up landmarks which guide
the footsteps of generations which
follow. A precedent or habit, once
established, is difficult to surmount,
or change. It becomes a standard
of consistency and propriety' to
which all else must conform. To
question its supremacy is a serious
misdemeanor, and to refuse to be
governed by its ancient custom, is
looked upon by its votaries as sac
rilege, ami the individual becomes
a criminal, almost, at or.ee.
This being the sacrcdness in which
ancient customs and habits are held,
tlie- importance of setting up good
landmarks in a community or fcitate
' for present and future genera
tions to be governed by, is apparent
to every sensible 'individual. Jn the
State of Oregon, for instance, among
those who arc engaged in agricultu
ral pursuits the raising of grain,
-stock and fruit how important it
is for the welfare of the State, them
selves, and their children who are
to succeed them, that, first, habits
of industry, patience and frugality
be adopted ; second, that a careful
study of the climate and soil be fol
lowed by the introduction of those
grains and fruits, and those species
of stock, which are best adapted to
them, and which will yield the
most handsome returns ; third, that
the lest and most improved labor
saving implements of huslandry be
introduced, as j increasing means
will iermit ; fourth, that the farm
itself Ik? made a pattern of neatness
and comfort and beauty. -
Unfortunately for the interests of
Oregon, there are many engaged in
farming pursuits, owning large
quantities of land in her richest
valleys, who are influenced" by no
higher motive or ambition, .than
that of simply making a living in
the easiest manlier possible, hoping,
in the process of time, to realize
wealth from the increased; value of
thpir lands. They plant and reap
in the most primitive fashion, aud
then congregate in the town, to pas-s
away their leisure days, their farms,
in the mean time, being left to take
care of themselves. Is o attempt is
made, as year after year passes by, to
render their fanns fiiore productive,
by becoming more .intelligent- and
scientific in their methods of cultiva
tion; nothing is attempted -in the
way of rendering the home 'life on
the farm more attractive and agree
able, by increasing the comforts
aud ornaments of the farm-dwelling
and its surroundings, a careless, uu
progressive, shiftless, lazy' air, per
vades the whole, whose influence is
detrimental to growth and civilisa
tion. -Large quantities of land are
often held by. such men, whOveitJier
refuse entirely to dispose of them,
.or hold them at such: exhorbitatit
figures, I that intelligent ' ':- and
more progressive fanners of-' small
means are ujiable t'.purohftsd them,
and go elsewhere where ; foods are.
cheaper, and make ; their invest,
mentsi -' Theichildrep "of these shift
less farmers arc influenced by these
habits, and grow up, and in many
instances, become even worse. The
result of this, policy, or rather prac
tice, is to retard the growth of the
country in every way lieueiieial, just
in proportion as the influence -.prevails.'
The same principles prevail
in the development . of mercantile
and mechanical pursuits equally as
strong as to limning, Habits of in
dustry, -enterprise and frugality,
guided by a spirit of progressiveness
born of intelligent inquiry, will al
wavs conduce to the broadest suc
cess either individual, or collective.
The same spirit of lightning activi
ty ; of shrewd, far-seeing, determin
ed enterprise ; of ierseverai.ce un
dismayed by sweeping disaster; of
buoyaney of spirit that clears a way
the rubbish of misibf fcuie, and plans
and works for givajer .nqu'ests, as
exemplified in C.'hicg,, may 'charac
terize the individual and collective
li'eaud growth of Oregon as well.

Although Hodge has 'been' tried
and sentenced to ten years imprison
ment in the "penitentiary, a,d, no
doubt, by this time, is at work in
the prison to which he was assigned,
many Democratic journals are dis
satisfied and pronounce- the whole
thing a sham. They now say that
the courtmarshal, by which he
was tried, had no right to send him
to the penitentiary, and that a
habeas rorjms will -Jurn him loose
one of these days. These journals
are trying to make it appear that
the Cvjtirt and 1 'resident- Grant
were guilty of trickery in that trans
action. As Major 1 lodge was a
Democrat, if President Grant were a
triekey, unprincipled rascal, as these
journals endeavor to make appear,
would he try to shield Hodge from
punishment? If .Hodge were a
Republican, and the President un
principled, there would lx? some
foundation for such a charge ; but
as it is, the charge is simply a way
and act ardii,glwhat grand re- j these. democratic journal have of
suits would follow in developing
the industrial resources of the .State,
increasing her numerical population,
and in moulding the habits of the
youth. The substantial growth
and development of a country or
tate, is in proportion to the cor
rectness of the 1 a bits formed and
practiced by its people.

Anytliiii to Defeat iJrunt.
The project of the Missouri lie
publican (Democratic.) for the
Democratic party to hold no Na
tional Convention for the purpose
of nominating candidates for Prcsi-
making capital out of their own
misfortunes. Some of them are
trying to palliate Tweed's iniquity
by asserting that Murphy of .New
York is just as bad. If Tweed is
punished as he ought to be, it need
not surprise anyone at all, if these
journals endeavor to make it ap
enr that the whole thing was in
stigated by, and the result of, lie
publican trickery.

to go anywere, or do anything to

the attention of the Departinent and
our Police iuithoritie. A few days
ago Gen. Win. B. Stokes member of
Congress who is sa'nl to Ije the chief
swindler, was arrested nt the U:ilti
iriore depot, on the charge of defraud
ing 1 1 h; Treasury out of U0.000, aud
for receiving fees while a member of
the IIoihc of Iiepresentatives. He
was placed under 15,000 IkmhU to
answer. Learning that Stokes was in
the city, your correspondent paid him
a vUit, to leurn hi version of the
.matter. After stating that the object
of my visit wa5" to ascertain the real
facts in the ease, and that I had learn
ed from tho Department that he, with
others, was guilty,' of defrauding the
Government! by collecting claims for
a numler of jnien who never existed,
by having their names placed on the
muster-roll of Captain IJeaty s com
pany of Tennessee Scout. The De
partment claims that the company
only numbered 50 men, Lut the rolls
claim that itj numbered. 302. In re
ply he said that he was anxious that
the eaj should b;; brought to trial as
soon as invisible ; that he could prove
that the 102 men borne on the rolls of
Captain IJeaty's eompai are all
living in Fentress county, Tennessee,
except those marked dead oa the
muster-roll, and .are not fictitious
names, as asserted by the prosecution;
and that the amount of pay due them
for services as soldiers was just, to the
best of liis knowledge. 1 '
Captain Beaty's company was an in
dependent prginization, acting as
scouts, and not being regularly mus
tered into the service of tlie. Govern
ment, of course drew no "pay. The
act past for their benefit had - for its
object" to place the men comprising
this company in such a position as
that they could be paid. The law
provides that the Captain and his
Lieutenants should make out the roll,
making affidavit to the same, and
upon this the men should be paid,
lion. Horace Maynard introduced the
bill, and Stokes aided Captain .Beatv
i -
in raising the required amount of men,
whether by fraud or otherwise, I am
unable to -y. . The Department,' I
learn have some of Stoke'A letters that
are very damaging to him on thl
point. 1
The rolls were made out as required,
and sworn to by Captain Beaty aud
his Lieutei units, and forwarded to the
War Departinent, and approved (after
some discrepancies were satisfactorily
explained).1 !lf any fraud was com
mitted, it wis by Beaty ami his Lieu
tenants. The only connection he had
in the transaction was perfectly legiti
mate, and nothing but that which
was due .from him as a member, of
Congress to! his '' constituents. ' Tlie
certificates td pay the men were not
issued to him, but to the authorized
attorneys forj the claimants. .

G EKK1CAL G KANT'S PlJKSHNTS. "Mr.
Tilden allutles to President Grant as
one "nvho has been enriched by costly
presents while exercising the immense
power of the Presidency.-" This is an
unqualified assertion,; .made as if upon
absolute, knowledge, nnd yet, speak
ing npou all the information I have, I
believe it utterly -unfounded. The
allegation is tliat since his election , to
the Presidency General (Jrant has been
the recipient of costly gifts. Return
ing from the war a victorious General,
aud holding no civil oflice whatever,
he did receive gifts showered upon him
by grateful p ople, lut he 'received
theni'AS the hero of many battles, and
before he was even nominated for the
Presidency. His case was not solitary.
General Slwrman also received muni
ficent testimonials ; so did other Gen
erals. Gen. MeClellsm ran for the
Presidency four years before General
Grant -ran. He, too, was "enriched
by costly presents," given, doubtless,
in consideration of his military ser
vices, and his political opponents
never cat foul aspersions on hirti for
it. ; Wellington, after Waterloo, re
ceived presents amounting to more
than two million dollars. Whether
lieroes,-.i in former or in recent
times, liave done well or ill in
accepting tributes from their country
men, is not, however, the point liere.
Be that one way or the other, the right,
or "wrong is the same in all cases alike;
and since General Grant's accession to
the Presidency, as far as I can 'learn,
he has never accepted a "Costly pres
ent" from any one. Seiuitor (Jonkiing,
- Thk Lost Dkmocract. The Amei
ican Democracy always had a iwitriotic
purpose until its leaders supported and
shielded the rebellion. From s that
hour its course has been irresistibly
downward. The 'moment it lost its
patriotic impulse it lost its soul. In
stead of grappling with treason in
1SU0 and lStH, it leaders sympathized
with it. Ever since, their great diffi
culty has been to get rid of the poison
which from that day has incurably
corrupted their organization...- The
colossal frauds of Tammany, the 22nd
of July, New York riots, the bar
barities in the South, the. refusal to
obey -the new constitutional amend
ments, the continued re-assertion of
the heresy of' State rights what are
all these wit the cropping out of the
original sin ' of submission to -rebellion
? Jt is a homely axiom that ?A
house divided against itself cannot
stand." But here is a party,' not only
divided against, but nearly every mem
ber of; it is at war with himself or. at
war with his brother. Democratic
disintegration is the order of the day.
Turn wliere these men may, there
is no hope. For ten years 'past the
citadel of the Democracy was Tatn
mauy Hall, whose fraudulent" major
ities -swallowed up the Republican
forces of New York State, and were
even strong enough to absorb and
obliterate Republican Commonwealths
like Connecticut and New Jersey.
Now this citadel is tumbling to its
foundations by its own innate rotten
ness. It isniost bitterly assailed by
the Democrats themselves. If they
turn to tlie South, they find a people
sick of ' reposing confidence in the
Democratic leader of the North. If
they turn to the West, they realize that
every monument of Western progress
and prosperity has been erected and
consummated by Republicans iu tlie
face of Democratic opposition. So
true it is that when the -.Democracy
lost its patriotic puriiose, ten or eleven
years ago, and proffered-- itself as tlie
shield and support of rebellion against
the Government, it lost it own soul.
