t w ALBANY REGISTER. WEDNESDAY. SEPT. M, 1873. Rennbllean Candidate. FOR CONGRESS, HIRAM SMITH, OF LtK2. REV. E. S. GEARY. The Yamhill lleporter hoists the BUM of E. R. Gearv at the head of of its columns, as its candidate for Congress in place of Hiram Smith, the nominee of the Republican State Con vention. A letter written by Mr. Geary to a friend, September 16th, 1873, extracts from which we find printed in the Bulletin, so fully ex presses his views of the situation, that we print H, so that all may see the position he occupies : My remarks before the Convention last Friday, pending the count of the ballot, sprang from the emergency, and as recollected, were correctly re ported In the Bulletin of the next day, with some verbal exceptions, not af fecting the sense. What I said to Hiram Smith after his nomination, I have nowhere unsaid. I intend to vote for him as a public duty : as demanded by party fealty and consistency ; and as impelled by personal regard and friendship. I continue to hold all questions af fecting the character and reputation of Mr. autcheli m reserve ot judgment. The validity of much of the testimony adduced is, to my mind, not apparent. No conclusion in the case should rest on conjecture, or partial and ex parte statements. Reputation, in the exalt ed or the bumble, should be derived from an acquaintance with the related facts. But the question of Mr. Mitch ell's culpability in fact or degree, is in no way germane to the issue now be fore the people of Oregon the election of a Congressman. The success of the Republican cause, a. embodying liberty, union and pro gress, is or paramount importance State and National; and it is unbe coming Republicans to jeopard its suc cess by unseemly and factious broil in the presence of their marshaled antag onists. The fate of the election must be de termined now. Other matters can be settled afteneards. The demon of dis tension has strewn human history with toe wrecks of the greatest and noblest enterprises. Let Oregon beware of adding an example. Yours truly, Edward R. Geary. The Honey Panic Saturday's dispatches from New York, Philadelphia, Washington Chi cago, St. Louis, and from across the Atlantic ocean, show that the money panic in the East, inaugurated by the suspension of the great banking firm of Jay, Cooke & Co., has widened and extended to an alarming extent, and a number of large banking linns and moneyed houses have been swept into the maelstrom before the storm-blast. It seems like a general crash, in which old and responsible houses, that have itood the financial storms of years, are being crowded to the wall. It is the greatest moneyed trouble the United States has seen since the panic of 1837 a panic which was productive of un told suffering for a time throughout the entire land. We of Oregon are so far from the great centres that we are almost wholly exempt from the ter rible excitements and distress attend ing these huge moneyed panics ; and we hope our State will never be called upon to go through one of tHem. How's this fob Higu? The Kew Northwest of the 19th inst., has this little paragraph in relation to the Dem ocratic nominee for Congress: Hiram Smith Ls known as a man of virtue, temperance and veracity. His competitor in this race, "J. N. Smith," (who deserted in the days of his youth from Uncle Sam's army, and changed his name to J. W. Nesmith, conse quently John H. Hitchell is not our first Senator with an alias), is the very opposite of all that is good for which the other Smith, without an alias, is noted. The R. W. Grand Lode of Odd Fel lows is iu session at Baltimore. .The growth of this Order is astonishing fid encouraging. The amount of good it accomplishes every year can hardly be .overestimated. In VUna, out of 2,755 cases of cbol- 1,110 .cases were&al. From District Attorney Humph rer. Albany, Sept. 20th, 1873. Ed. Registkk Dear Sir: Mr. Brown, editor Statu Rights Democrat, says in his Sssae of Friday last, that N. B. Humphrey is the only one who has had 6he manliness to come out and openly denounce the Mitchell resolu tion, and declare that he will not de base himself by voting for Hiram Smith. Mr. Brown is not authorized to speak for me in any matter pertain ing to politics. I wish to see the principles of the Republican party perpetuated, and the party organization maintained, and I will do nothing to impair cither. I was opposed to the resolution called the Mitchell resolution, but its adop tion by the Convention has not made a Democrat of me. I believe that Hiram Smith Is as good a man, in any sense of the word, as Mr. Nesmlth, and, in a political sense, infinitely his superior. Very Respectfully, N. B- HUMPHREY. EIGHTH IVVVA I. I A I It OP THE Linn Co. Agricaltnral Association. Tuesday, Sept. 23. Yesterday, the opening day, the Linn County Fair grounds presented an animated appearance. Parties with stock and articles for exhibition, were pouring into the grounds iu a constant stream, While families were erecting houses and tents here and there, ''fixing to stay" during the week. Early in the morniug we made our way out to the grounds to see what was to be seen in the stock line. We found, at LUTE LINDLEY'S STABLES, Young Pathfinder, a four year old, and a very promising animal, ownad by Put Smith, of Portland; Young Mystery, seven years old, owned by Mr. Coggins, of Olympia, W. T., and although he has had but little training, is showing good speed; Lilly, a seven year old, trotter, owned by Mr. Ba con, of Portland; feast Portland Belle, a three year old filly, owned by Dr Hawthorne, or Jiast Portland, and a very fine stepper; Valandingham, nine years old, nmner, owned by Mr Jos. Knott, of Portland; General, twenty-four years old, chief ot the turf, owned by Put Smith, ot Port land. MR. BASKET'S STABLES Contained three very fine running ani mais 83 toiiows : Brunette, rive years old, sired by Humboldt; Lodesse, three years old, by Lodi of California: Bu- troff, three years old, by Dr. Lindsley MR.

Lowns dale, of Portland; Sconchin, twelve years old, pacer, owned by Frank Par ton, of this city; Crawford's Pathfinder colt, three years old, regarded by many admirers of fine stock as the best three year old colt in Oregon, or on the Pacific coast, and he gives every idication of justifying that opinion. GIRD'S STABLE We found Sultana, trotter, owned by Mr. Huffman, 5 year old; Antelope, trotter, owned by Montgomery; Buck skin, runner, owned by Gird; Bill Gird. 4 year old, owned by George Hughes; Buffalo Bill, 4 year old, owned by Hughes, Plowboy, running horse, owned by Gird.

The Albany and Santlam Canal Company would respectfully call the attention of the public, and especially the Capitalist, and those desiring to encaare in manufacturing, to their srisnintie water power and water priv noire. Sixteen thousand cubic feet constantly flowing every minute, equal to 800 horse power, with from 8 to 30 feet fall, sufficient for the most exten slve machinery, with ground on which to erect the necessary buildings, etc The Company deem it but projer that the public should Know more lully the locality of this great water power, its facilities and surroundings, in order that those unacquainted may form some estimate of its value. The city of Albany is the county-seat oi wnn county, located on the south east bank of the Willamette river about 100 miles south of Portland, by river, and SO miles by railroad ; south of Salem 45 miles by river and 30 miles by railroad, and north of Eugene City lo miles. Albany is located in a prairie of tho same name, which is the great agnctii- ... I , .'.i. .. . v.. II..,. ( II .11 lt !llt f OI LUC .T lliillllcLlc v auuy and it is believed that upward of 500. 000 bushels of surplus wheat will he eeived at that point, the presentseason The most of it will find its way to for eign markets, either by boats or rail road to Portland, and from thence up on the ocean. The Willamette river is navigated by beautiful steamers. carrying from so to dOO tons, running as lar as Albany some ten months in the year. Also, the O. &C. R. R with its beautiful locomotives, is pass nig through the city daily. The city ot Albany IS located upon a high, roll ing prairie, with the Calapooia, a beau tiful creek, flowing into the Willamette river on the west, the water of which is used in driving two large flouring mills, situated on the bank ot the Hi lameue river, liiecityis about one mile in length, running east and west, and from one-half to three-fourths of a mile in width, and is laid oft' with streets of good width. The Canal, which is the subject and object of this communication, receives its waters irom the eolith bantiam river, which heads in the great Cascade mountains, some 75 miles east of Albany; thence running westerly through a valley of the same name, to Lebanon, a village located near the west hank of said river, 13 miles east of Albany. The Canal receives the waters from the Santiam river at that point, thence running west to its ter minus at Albany. The main Santiam flows northward, and empties its mountain waters into the Willamette river 10 miles northeast of Albany The Canal is brought from Lebanon through A beautifiupralrie for a dis tance ot 12 miles, and empties into the Willamette river, forming on its way and in the city some of the finest water powers for manufacturing purposes but tew, if any, points in the State which surpasses Albany now, for man ufacturine facilities. Cheap water power and easy of access, and conven ient transportation, either by water or railroad, and the location beautiful and healthy. The Canal Company offers liberal inducements to persons desiring to en gage in the business of manufacturing, and will furnish water power upon the most reasonable terms. Manufactur ing of all kinds is needed in Oregon. and could be made profitable. The Canal Company will agree to furnish. within sixty days, any water power needed, from a button factory to that of a locomotive. Immigrants and others are earnestly invited and requested to visit Albany and examine for themselves. Real property can yet be procured on very reasonable terms both in and out of the city. Our people compare favor ably with the rest ot mankind, morally socially, politically and financially. Published by order of the Board of Directors, Sept. 8th, 1873. L. ELKINS, D.
