The question of maintaining the pub lic school system is before the country, and it will not do for our Democratic 1 friends to deny or try to ignore it. Ef forts have been and are still being made, to build up a sentiment in favor of dividing the school funds fur sec tarian purposes. The people ot the At lantic States have already become alarmed on this subiect, and are no place to lanU her cargo. takinsz steps to protect themselves and Later accounts say that trouble com- their institutions.

They are alone, each having ' her knapsack on her back, and each also armed with a revolver. Among the amendments voted upon were four touching the school question, tie object of the amendments being to make it impossible by any Legislative chicanery or trickery to divert one dol- lar of the public school funds to secta rian purpose". inl these tour amend ments, and one other, were the only amendments to which there was any serious opposition offered ; and although they were adopted by au overwhelming majority, there was a largo vote against them," showing that there is a largo element, at least in some of the States, that are in favor of diverting the pub lic school funds to sectariau purposes. The mere fact that it was deemed neces sary to propose these amendments in that old commonwealth, shows conclu sively that the people believed they had reason to fear such legislation ; and it is not reasonable to believe that an old and intelligent community would let their tear get so firm a hold ot them as to cause them to demand an amend mcnt to their organic law, unless there was strong grounds upon which to found their alarm. The strenuous ef fort to defeat those amendments is con elusive evidence that tlieir tears were well founded. It is true that the Ore. gon Democratic platform is not hostilo to the public schools. The Democratic platform simply ignores the subject ; is as silent as the grave at a time when silence becomes suspicious. A parly that boasts its fearlessness in dealing. with the Irving issues of the day, en tirely ignores a question which is more prominent at present probably than any other a question upon which " the people are anxious, and upon which they demand an explicit and outspoken dec laration. The people of our country make up the issues, and when a party convention refuses to accept them, it lays itself open to the charge that it is opposed to the people, and it cannot ex pect to succeed. This is the condition of the Democratic party of Oregon to. day. By refusing to accept this mo mentous question as au issue in this can. vass, it lends force to the charge that it dare not. The Republican party has a clear record upon this question; it is now and always has been opposed to divert ing a single cent of the public school funds to sectarian purposes. . And this is tho position of our candidate, Hon, Henry Warren, and the position of tho people of Oregon to-day. And this is one ot the reasons why we believe Hon Henry Warren will be the choico of the people of Oregon for our next Congress man. railroads and telegraph lines were de stroyed for miles, and a largo number of ieople drowned estimated loss, over one hundred and fifty. Dead bodies were strewn along the shore lor twenty miles. Tho loss ot property is immense, as It is estimated that mue- tcnths of the buildings were destroyed, with all their contents. The town of Matagorda was also swept away, only two nouses being lett staudiuz. Tho town of Cedar Lake has suffered tho same fate, and every inhabitant lost. At Eas tBay, ot twenty- eight human beings only rive are known to be alive. Ihetownot baluna was entirely washed away. This is a most horrible tale of suffering and devasta tion, unequalled by anyiniug in me past history of our country. From reports received from nearly every county in the State, it is evident that Messrs. Whitney and Dimmick are not in tho field both together will ot get a good precinct vote iu the total aggregate. This fact being so plain tho query naturally arises, why do these men sutler themselves to lemain as candidates? Knowing there isn't the least possibility of an election for either, why do they remain in tho field ? and both being poor men, where is the in ducement to spend the time and money to make the canvass? It has been boldly asserted that both are paid to make the canvass, and circumstances in dicate that the charge is true, and that they are in the employ ot the Democ racy. lhc Urcgonian is informed that a larsre portion of the Democracy of Douglas county declare they will not bo hoodwinked into helping to over throw the school system of our State. They declare the question is before the peop'e, iu spite of the manipulators of the Democratic State Convention, who did not represent the sentiments of the party at large. Lane, therefore, will not receive the party vote in Douglas. i The San Francisco Alta is about to be sued for libel by the Bulletin and Call, for charging that the course pur sued by these journals during and since the panic, was with the object of affect ing the stock' market and creating a financial panic. It is expected that, owit.g to the "i.itimale connection be tween the newsjaper fight and tho financial complications, some very inter esting developments will be made. Those Democratic journals that are charging Hon.' Henry Warren with being an active know-nothing a quarter ot a century ago or such a matter, might probably find out alLabput it by addressing their inquiries to that Demo, cratic war-horse of Yamhill, Mr. W. T. Newby, who, it is currently reported, was the big Chief or grand Mogul of tho Know-nothins party in Yamhill county at the time they charge Hon. Henry Warren as having united with it. It is positively asserted that Mr. Newby and none of these fellows will gainsay Mr. Newby's Democracy, we opiue instituted every Know-nothing lodge iu Yamhill county, and would, therefore, be the very raau ot whom to see information. Call Mr. Newby, the Democratic war-horse of Yamhill,' and let him explain. Quite a serious- affray occurred in Union on tho 11th. Two half-breeds named Raymond and Izadoro went to the house of Mr. Duncan, a carpenter. who lives in tho outskirts of tho town, and began to quarrel. Duncan ordered them to leave his house. This they re fused to do, and words led to blows. During the fraeas Duncan was struck on the head with a rock.- At this he seized a knife and struck a blow at Izadore. The knife penetrated the back part of the neck to the bone and was drawn down over the shoulder to the chest, making a fearful wound and nearly half severing the fleshy part ot the neck from the trnnk. At last ac counts the wounded man was expected to recover. P&eifi --.S topers, Stanley Basin and toon creek camps, in the Boise country, have been deserted by the miners. Wheat sells at Walla Walla at 52 cents per bushel. Mr. Raymond, of Douglas county, re cently sold a white Percheron colt, two years oW, for $400. A letter from AVasco county says the weather is fine, harvest over, stock all fat and the general health is good. Largequantities ot wheat from Umatilla county are being hauled to the Walla Walla and WnlluU railroad. The election in Victoria district resulted in the choice ot Messrs. Beavin, Douglas, Elliott; and Trimble to the provincial as sembly. On the 11th Inst, a German named Charles Mnller placed a double-barreled shotgun to his siile at Stellv's farm, and blew his stomach out. A little son ot D. C.

Tho Democratic journals of Oregon seem to have made a great mistake with regard to the proprietor of the Salem Statesman, as they have been diamine Tiitn with being a Nebraska carpel-bagger, whereas he has been a resident of Oregon since 1852 twenty. threo years.

Tho London Times of the 21st, pub lishes a letter dated at Vienna, which contains some very interesting details of the insurrection iu northern Bosnia, and of the fugitives who have taken refuge in Austria. It says the cause ot the sudden failure of the movement is attributed to the tact that the insur gents were not prepared, were without arms and ammunition, and that many villages remained passive. Two Aus trian commissioners have been sent to as certain from the refugees the causes of the insurrection. The latter states that the Turks fearing that tho Herzegovinian insurrection would spread to Bosnia, ar A Ilnge British Monitor.

The other paits of the ship arc not armor plated, and are 6imply intended to float and move this invulnerable iron citadel. This peculiarity of construc tion is worthy-of note.
