The Republican State Central Com mittee has been called to meet in Port land, on Thursday, February 19th, 1S74, at 7.30 P. M., to arrange for the approaching State election, and tor uch other business as may be deemed proper. A full attendance of the mem lis of the Committee is desired. ' Mr. .lames Finlayson writes to the tregonian advising farmers not to look to Congress for an appropriation io improve the Willamette river, as it tikes all the time of these worthies to devise ways to rob the treasury for their own benefit, but to eo to work nnd raise the ecessary funds them--tlves. He says the farmers of Ben tHi and Polk could raise 60,000-a matter easy of accomplishment, as It would be but five per cent, on their million bushels of wheat -and by doing this they would probably get fifteen cents more on the bushel for their wheat by opening the river from Cor vallis to Astoria. Linn and Marion, he asserts, will raise another 150.000 a total of 1100,000, which will open the river to commerce. The W. R. T. V. proposes to donate fl.OOO toward the enterprise, provided the 9iim above named is put np by these four counties, aud to give bonds in $-200,000 that the river will be cleaned out and in good boating order, from Corvallis to Asto ria, by the coming harvest. This Company also proposes to carry wheat from Corvallis to Astoria for secett cents per bushel, In view of this state of affairs, Mr. F. asks the farmers of the four counties to assemble In nas meeting, sometime between now and the first of March, in this city, and take steps to secure the opening of the riwr. We second the motion. Agricultural Hoaopoly. According to an Eastern journal, America, In the time of Mr. Madison, held die agricultural monopoly of the world, but tlds same journal now con fesses that it is rapidly passing from us. as nearly all our great staples are rivaled by the production of other nations. Up to the time of our civil war, as is well known, the United States monopolized almost the entire cotton trade, and our Southern States amassed great wealth in the enjoy ment of its exclusive culture. The closing of Southern ports during the rebellion compelled manufacturing countries to look elsewhere for this great staple, and as a consequence we now have as rivals in the production of cotton, India. Egypt and the South Sea Islands. The vast revenue once enjoyed by South Carolina in the culti vation of rice, is now shared by Patua and Rangoon. Lotiis'ana sugar plan tations are now brought into sharp competition with the West Indies and Manila. Turkey and Austria now compete with Virgluia and Maryland for the tobacco trade. And in our great 9taple, Wheat we are undersold in the markets of the world by vast quantities shipped from the Danube, the Vistula, from Peru, Bolivia and Chili. The great corn fields of the "American Bottom" are rivaled by the productions of Trieste, Genoa and Barcelona. Canada undersells us in lumber ; and Pennsylvania finds com petition for her petroleum from the Caspian and Wallachia. And even the superiority of our cheese is dis- puted by England, and Orange cqunty is brought into sharp competition by j Cheshire. In fact it would seem that the great staples of our country were on a par with our shipping interests and the carrying trade. n purchcuhing a mnchiw tried the moM pop ular.' NEW THiTllPlIS!

ALBANY Sheriff Brennan, of New York, and his deputy. Shields, have received the severest punishment inflicted by the law for permitting "Prince" Harry Genet to escape $250 fine each, and thirty days iu the county jail. This H doubtless, a novel situation for the High Sheriff of the first metropolis of America to be In, and no doubt is as great a surprise to him and the coun try. It is a deserved degradation, however, and was probably needed to bring him to a full consciousness that the great and wicked political power t which he has so long been allied has hwn entirely and .completely broken up aud destroyed. He was an active member of that great political ring so long controling the destinies of New York, robbing its treasury of millions of dollars. Tammany had no more devoted friend than Mart. Brennan. and he stood "hand and glove" with Ross Tweed and t he rest of that delect able crowd in the days of their pros perity ; and when adversity overtook fVm. he seemed not to be able to re alize the fact and when called upon bv the duties of his office to do so, he mild not ignore the claims of old time friendship, but strained his au thority to the utmost to favor Tweed atfer he had been convicted and judg ment pronounced upon him. In the aie manner be favored Ingersoll, Hiring htm the chance, which he eagerly seized, to escape. He acted h wold defiance of the law. and is now reviving nothing but his Just deserts. W. R. Waite, of Toledo, Ohio, is the last nominee tor the office of Chief Justice. The nomination created a general surprise. Mr. Waite is a law yer of 33 years standing, aud is a son ot the late Chief Justice Waite of Con necticut. He has seen fifty-eight sum mers. He was one of the counsel for the United States in the Geneva arbi tration. He has been a resident of Toledo. Ohio, for the jwst thirty-six years, and is the present President of the Ohio Constitutional Convention. On motion of Caleb Cushing, about a year since, he was admitted to prac tice in the Supreme Court of the United States. As so little is known of the man. it is likely he will be confirmed.

Colonel Espanada, commanding Spanish forces, got Whipped In a fight with Cuban insurgents at Los Melones. The Colonel's nose was shot oft rath er a close shave. Espanada claims to have had but 650 troops while the in surgents numbered 1.800. .Private Cuban dispatches say he had 1.300, and only t scaped with 250. The prominent Democratic candi dates for State Printer are M. V. Brown. Thompson, of the Mercury, and Noltner. of the Enterprise.
