On Tiinrsnay nignt it set in to rain and cotiniied to rain all day Friday, and was still raining wlien re went to nress. Tlie cattle in this particular vicinity' arc commencing to succumb, ana a lew nave uieu. nay it becondiiB scarce, ami wc lave heard that some of our farmers were asking forty and fifty dollars per ton In the Hack, ami eurnty uouars delivered in town. The Walla Walla papers ray that there is very little snow lyine on the ground in that county, but tliat the weather has been cold and a large number of sheep and cattle have died, principally ror want ot shelter. From Grant county we-have, receiv ed the best kind of news, and to prove that the winter has been mild and tliat cattle have done exceedingly well Mr. George Edgar, of Edgar A Co's stage line, brought down on Ms last trip a bunch of green grass, vlj :are inclined to the opinion that Ursujtfc the "Banner1' county cast of the moun tains ror stock rawing. All the1 news that we have received from turner Yakima, over in Washine ton Territory, ta of a disoounuriiW nature. Kraal the lower portion of the talley. however, we believe ;he cattle ate doine better. At present it is almost impossible to form anything like a correct idea of the loss the cattle men are going to sustain. It denenda noon how the spring opetis and upon several other contingencies. However, taken alto gether, the winter nas not been so se vere and in no way as disastrous as that of '61 and 'Ci and we are inclined to believe that when we come to turn up the entire loss tvf the winter, it will not fall tar short of the amount now supposed by many. The band of young cattle brought up late last fall, by Mr. Wro. Cornell, of Rockland, from the Wallamet val ley, we learn are dying off rapidly for the want of feed and shelter. The probability now is that he will lose the entire band some two hundred be fore the winter terminates. This Is the same band upon which last (all we made such a glowing estimate of. the money that Mr. CemeO was goto to realise from his Investment, prWah'sp, lie got them safely through the win ter. Oar young enthusiasts on "cat tle raising'' will see from the above that this business is about as precari ous and uncertain as any other, and that it cannot be profitably carried on without a proper place to protect the cattle from tie inclement weather and a sufficient amount of feed to keep them from starving. A letter from Grand Homle valler, Union county, dated January Mn, says: The winter so far is pronounced by .the "Oldest Inhabitants" to be the pleasantest ever known here. About Christmas we had a "cold snap" tax tnt about four or rnw dnva. rtnee that time the weather has been very pleas ant in day time clear and mild al most as Snrimr time, and the evcnlnn pleasant, generally Being ja about cold enough to freewj a little daring. tnenignr. ne naveoniy naa a very few days sleighing this winter. Stock lias wintered on the commons without any prepared feed and is In very fine condition. Messrs. E. S.and f. T. McComanhave a large band of sheep in wis vaney. as nas aiso .nr. jonn Ladfl, and so far, we heUew they have not lost a sheep. The Messrs. Mc Comas have also a large band of sheep In Powder River valley that are win tering finely. Stock dealers and ranch men are highly delighted with their prospects, and mere win oe nnnoreas of tons of lay stand over for next win ters use. Business ofall kinds has been much bettei this winter than ever before. Our merchants have not probably done so much business, but what they have done has been on a ranch better and surer bash. The Caruthxes Estate. We learn from Green C. Davidson, Esq.. That a Joint Stock Company has form ed ofall the claimants to this proper ty, the same being estimated at three hundred thousand dollars in value, one half being allotted to tin Oregon City party, one third to the Hannah Gibbs party, and one sixth to Ladd & Knott, lilts arrangement quiets all t&feaod winds up all contests before the Courts and Is a final settlement Of all conflict as to title.

Daniel W Yoorhees of Indiana, a leader of the Swtk mmm Democracy, goes for an aggressive, organized, hand-to-hand ggk wtth a TJemocratic candidate against Grant,. As Mr. Lincoln would my, this reminds us of a little anec dote. A wicked fellow was desperate ly sick, and lying at death's door, when he was called upon by a minis ter, who urged Mm, to view or m probable early departure from the shores ot time, to "wrestle with the Lord," The sick man called attention io Ms emaciated limbs and unstrung -smacks, and said : "Do I look Hke wrestling with the Lord? Why, he would trip me Into hell the first pass." A ttend lady uTthU city bad her nl disturbed, one night recently by dreams ot burglar, and ewsn tailed up a member of the family to look for them. In the morning tlie disturbance was (bond to have been earned by a , wfekh jumped on the edge of a lay tutor, and overturned It, pnt sthjr fcaelf underIt had spent the H -rrty mdo wliatthe ()MstilonnSL.iurf .,-Lf .L.- . f Mvr.nMbpk '.V,; fer efch'nteuwrrv lnJbfrl -. -l .

W vaotM at the present writing give tlie exact words but tliat is tlie effect of tlie pro vision. A bill was introduced by Mr Hare of Washington for that purpose, but the first glance showed the Demo cratic majority that the party would lose bv it. and the bill was defeated We 'haw not the bill referral to at hand but it i easy to take tlw eensns returns of 1870 and comply an estimate of what tlie relative strength of the parties would belli the Leristatnre of lWi if the proper apportionment had been made In !u The United States census of 1870 allowed 91.059 total number of inhab itants. Wears to have 2s Senators and 19 .ReDreseniatives in the next Legislature, that would be In the ratio of 1,133 to each Senator and one Rep resentative to each 1,86S persons. The counties of Benton, Clackamas. Stet son, Coos, Curry. Uouglas, Marten, Multnomah, Tillamook. Washington and Yamhill, eleven in number, which are all reliably Republican, ha yea pop ulation of 51,260 against 89,809 cou- tmiied in trie remaining eleven Under the present apportionment these 51,250 inhahi rants hiva ten Sena tors allowed them, 'while S9,80 Inhab itants have twelve. Under the same rule the 51,250 will lave only twenty- four Representatives, while the 39,809 willhavetwenty-flve. Had there been a rc-apportionment according to the census of 1870 these figures would have been exactly reversed in the Senate, for 4, 188 in 51,230 goes twelve times and a large fraction over, and It re quires little aritlteinetic to show tliat 4,138 wont go ten times Into 39,809. Umler this new ratio the eleven coun ties with51,350luhHliUntB would have been entitled to almost twenty-eight Representatives, and the other eleven counties would have had only twenty one. The effect of tfiw Legislative dis honesty has been to disfranchise a' great ixirtion of the State whh la re Rably Republican In hopes to thus il legally perpetuate the rate of Democ- racy. Thi bis case esDecial the election of a United tor of course, and to fortify much as possible, the late Democratic ousted three Republicans from ill, Beutou and Douglas counties, s to commence the next ses- the tame stocked so that hoM-oter Senators can rule and no Re- puuican soatortty can avail. Had the apportiouinent bill passed, it would have htsardrd this dominion hi the Senate, battels party that prates so orach of corruption, stopped at no le gal or Const itottonal obstruction, bat overrode all tew and practiced the most barefaced rascality. ngtiUoroMereflt coantiee ana snow that the portion of the State which in creased so greatly before the last cen sus has so increased since that the evil has augmented beyond the estimates we have given above. We recite these facts for two reasons: Pint that the dishonesty ot the Demo cratic party may be duly understood and appreciated. Second, that the Republicans nf our State may realize the necessity for united and rigorous action, and every man may feel ani mated by a determination to carry enough of the dose counties to still give os the Legislature, enable us to elect a true Republican to the United States Senate, and repeal much of the Infamous legislation of the but session. The purification of our Oregon Tam many is as necessary as was the reform ation in Mew- York, we nave on ten upon evil times, but we can go before the people with the record ot kite Democratic State legislation and make a showing that will satisfy many hon est men that they can no longer airorrl to uphold such manifest Corruption as has lately crept into the 8tete.-Vtof- Wnx Informed Lawks.
