To-day the Republicans of Linn County will be oiled upon to meet at the usual places of voting in each precinct to elect delegates to attend the Republi can County convention, which meets in this city on next Saturdav, the 28th. Vfe urge npoit Republicans generally to attend the primaries and see that representative men are placed in nom ination as delegates to the Couuty Convention. The coming election is to solve the problem of the capacity of the people of Oregon for self-government whether the people of Oregon will iwntiime to be led by the nose by ring politicians, who meet i Convention and adopt "platforms" of "glit tering generalities," which mean any thing or nothing: or whether they will "cut" these rings, cliques and1 old party liangers-on entirely, adopt a platform that is plain aiid strong, and susceptible of no double construction, placing upon it candidates who are honest, capable, and in full and entire sympathy with the people, and who will boldly and fearlessly oppose any and all schemes of corruption, fraud and wrong-doing, no matter trom whence they emanate. Don't send delegates who will go to the Conven tion with a "candidate" whom' they are determined to foist upon that Con vention, own should be prove distaste ful to the majority men who are ready to sacrifice every interest of the party to secure the end they have in view. We have before us tlie disastrous effects of such a policy. Send honest, capable men, men of sound Judgment, t the County Convention, and the State delegation which will be selected therefrom will be of the very best material, and. cannot fail to be harmo niouscannot Ml to select for the ticket to be voted for iu une. the kind and character of men the People de mand shall haw conhroi of the admin titration of affairs during the coming four yean.

'The fifty-fifth anni versary of Odd Fellowship will be cel ebrated by the Odd Fellows of this city in grand style. As the aeth comes on Sunday, Monday, April 27th, lias been chosen as the day to celebrate. Odd Felloivs generally throughout the State are invited to join with us in the cele bration. Tlie ball and supper, to gether with the sociable on tlie even ing ot that day, all under charge of the Daughters of Rebekah, will be the big feature, eclipsing anything of the kind, for eujoyroetit, ever witnessed in the State. Immediately after the arrival ot tlie trains on the O. & C. Railroad on Monday, south and north, the members of the order will form iu procession at the hall on First street, and march eitlier to tlie grove In the eastern edge of the city or to the Court House (the point depending npon the weather), where an oration will be delivered by Rev. D. K. Nes bit, of Corvallis, one of Oregon's most eloquent sons. Application has been made to the Railroad Company for a reduction of tare on the occasion, which will doubtles be granted, and we shall probably be able to give a schedule ot rates from all points on the road next week. A full pro gramme of she celebration, together with the different committees, will be published! soon. Tickets to the ball and sapper will be, probably, l. The March number, of Woods House- hold Mayaxine is a capttal.one. It opens with an Interesting' story entitled; "The Guiding Hand," by Mrs. II. (J. Bowe ; following this Joseph Snider gives his "Experiences in the City" an article which for its simple truth the youth of the land should read to their profit;: "My Prayer" ia, not a. religious sketch, as one would suppose from the title, but is a most touching story told ih the sincere manner and rough speech of a railroad hand. "The Weekly Diabolical," by Karic Kase, aims a sharp and timely blow at sen sational literature. "The Kaiser Fred erick"' is one of Mary Hart well's en tertaining stories. In tlie installment of',MlserVJTfrpemi,"H. V. Osborne raps the knuckles of the fashionable clergymen, and buries Penny Pott from sight. There are several other articles of merit and some choice poe try. The magazine contains six illus trations, Including a fine design for a country school house.

Wilbur Cornell, of the Mercury, our old "chum," arrived in the city on Tuesday. A. Carothers & Co. have received an excellent brand of cigars, fragrant and delicious. We have been enjoying splendid weather during the week. Roads dry ing up rapidly. A large number of private dwellings were thrown open to the delegates and politicians iu attendance on the Demo cratic Convention. A petition was circulated and ex tensively signed on Tuesday, request ing the City Council to grant no license to verniers ot intoxicating driuks. How will it be received? P. C. Harper, of Harper & Co., ot this city, started for San Francisco ou Thursday. New goods is his errand. The latest establishment in the city has recently hung outa new sign which reads: "C ranger Saloon." It is neat ly fitted up, and Is catching tlie bulk of trade. Mr. T. Ford, an old citizen of this city, son-in-law ot Benj. Freelanu, died ot erysipelas on tlie morning of the 18th. Ben. Walling and wire left this city for Lincoln, where they propose to re side in the future, one day last week. The funeral services of the late Thos. Ford transpired on Thursday at the Methodist Church, a consis tent member of which lie had been for many years. The Democratic State Convention adjourned about noon on Thursday, and a large number of delegates went home on the noon trains and by steam boats on that day. Our report ot the Democratic Con vention is necessarily short. Want of space Is the matter. J. J.

Stewart of Marlon conntj'. Mr. Carter, of Lebanon, called on ns Wednesday. He reports the brethrlng a'l 0. K. in his dfoceare. Owing to the demand on our time during the week, we have been unable to give local matters due attention. During the coniing campaign we may be compelled to issue tlie Reg ister double its present size to fully acquaint our readers with passing events. However, the price will con tinue tlie same. The painful intelligence reached this city on Tuesday ot the death of Frank Beach, at tlie Nez Perce agency, in Idaho Territory, a tew days before. Frank had many friends in this city who will mourn his early decease. J. S. M.. Van Cleave (a foreigner from New Jersey) was delegate to the DemocraticConvention. Jake Flelacn ner said that the editor ol this paper and J. S. M. favored a marked re semblancebut no one could accuse us of being twins. As Mr. Van Cleave stands six feet six in his stockings and weighs nearly 300. the "point" may be apparent to some, bet we fail to see it. Says tlie Walla Walla Union of the 7tb : Parties who have just crossed the Blue Mountains say that it is a very rough road to travel. For some days the stages were unable to cross at all, and the mails consequently delayed. Wbat mail matter was got across had to be tied up iu a raw-hide, and then hauled and dragged through the snow, somet the time by a horse, and when the snow was so deep that the horse could not do it three men pulled it along. On one occa sion they had to leave the sleigh and attempted to break the road by leading the stage horses, but in the first two miles three of the horses gave out, aud had to be left. The other three horses and the driver and passengers managed to wallow through from four to eight feet of snow and finally arrived at Cayuse. Mr. Foster, at Meacham's says that he has never in all that time seen so mueh snow in these mountains. It will probably be some time before the road is again in good condition for travel, as the snow falls and tills up there faster than it can be cleaned out. For a number of days they have had more or less snow every day This is the first interruption of mails over that route this Winter, and is the most serious and ia likely to be the most protracted one that has oc curred for years. The Roseburg Pfaindealer learns from Coos Bay, that the schooner Jennie Tlielin was wrecked on the bar, on Thursday, the 5th inst. The particulars are as follows : On the day mentioned, the tng Escort went out over the bar, but the sea was so rough that she was com pelled to return and when she re turned whistled, as a signal to the vessels on the outside!. As the wind was fair, the captain of the chooner undertook to sat!' in and had got about halt way across when the wind died out and she began to drift, soon striking bottom and wae beached on the North Spit, where she now lies, supposed to be a total wreck. No lives were lost. She- is the property of D. Beaddle & Co., San Franeiseo, and) valued at about $&,000'. Jefrsoy io Marion county, baa seven resident miniitexa. uive all their !. Under this heading acorrespond ent of the Omjonirm writes : Several of your correspondents in discussing the extravagance of the State Government, seem to place all the responsibility upon the Leg islature, ami never meiuion the State Executive in that connection. They, from design, or otherwise, fail to call public attention to the (act that the Governor constitutes an important part of the law-making Kwcr of the State, ami tliat no Legislative act can become a law without the Governor's signature or approval, unless passed over his yeto by a two-third's vote in both branches ot the Legislature. They also neglect to call attention to the fact, that Governor Grover, not only approved all the extravagant and' corrupt jobbing acts of the last Legislature that have been fastened upon the people to cat up their sub. stance, but that in his message he recommended some of the obnoxious measures, ami was seconded in his recommendations by Secretary Chadwick in his biennial report. The Governor recommended the building of a State Capitol, and, as I understand, assisted in cunningly drawing the bill so as to deceive the Legislature into the belief that it would cost only $100,000 ; but he took good care to appoint build ing commissioners that would com mence a building that he himselt now admits will cost $500,000, and that competent architects declare will cost over a milium of dollars,. It will also be remembered that the Governor (backed by Secretary Chadwick in his renort I in his mes sage strongly urged a law creating a Board of Equalization, and hia argument clearly showed his object to be, not to equalize, but to increase the taxes ; he and Chadwiek drew the bill, he appointed the Board, and "Holy Saint Patrick" what a law and what a Board ! Many other acts of the State Ex ecutive Department are equally wrong, but I will not lengthen this article to mention them at this time. The last Legislature was certainly bad euough. but at the same time. justice requires that the sins of the Governor and secretary should not be thrown upon it. And the pres ent uprising of the people will not accomplish their desired economy and reduction ot taxes unless the State Executive Department is thor ongly changed and reformed as well as the Legislature. OBSERVER. Mr. Buford, who has just re turned from Eastern Oregon to Salem, contradicts many of the re ports concerning the loss of stock in that portion of the State during the viuter, and particularly in reference to Wasco county. He says that stock, as a general thing, both cat tle and sheep, has wintered uncom monly well, and are in excellent condition now. Generally, he says, losses have occurred through neg lect of owners ; though some tew have met with losses which could not be averted, from exposure and disease. In the Palouse country, Mr. Buford says targe numbers have died, but it was owing to the fact that immigrants had come in there with stock at so late day that they had no time to prepare food for the winter. He eites one case, in Klicki'at valley, of a band of 8,000 sheep, out ot which only one was lost during the winter, and says this was the general good luck of stock-raisers in that valley. He thinks that stock On all ranges in these sections, with few exceptions, has come out of the past winter in better condition than waa the case last Spring. Santa Anna returns to Mexico,, but this is not the last of him. A hundred years from now we can't tell, to be sure, where the birds will be that are singing at the present moment- but nothing is more certain than that this old man will be hob bling, back to the United States amis. havJsx btddto farewell tor the fifth, time to & migrated
