OFFICIAL CITY PAPER.
ALBANY, FRIDAY, 5JAKCII 17, 1S76.
ATTEND THE PRIMARIES.
Elsewhere will be found the call for
the County Convention. The prima
ries are called tor Saturday, April 15th,
as it was thought that would accommo
date everybody. It is hardly necessary
lor us again to urge upon Republicans
the necessity of attending the primaries.
Every memlxir of the party should at
tend without tail, and do his part in se
lecting delegates for the County Con
vention.' It good, substantial, compe
tent, representative men are selected as
delegates, the County Convention can
hardly fail to nominate a ticket that
will meet the approval ot the rank and
file of the party ; and it this is effected ,
the entire ticket will bo elected. Be
sure the delegates elect are true men,
whose aim will bo to select the best and
most capable men in the county .fur th
several positions, and Linn county will
be redeemed from Democratic thrall
4om in June. Mark this down.
The Other Side.
Every financial ill and every devel
opment of dull times is ascribed by the
leaders of the Democratic party to the
Republican party ; but despite this at
tempted display of honesty in these re
iterated charges upon the Republican
party, there are scores of Democrats all
over tho land who scout at tho charges,
knowing their utter falsity. The truth
ip, as a rule. Republican States are the
most prosperous at f he present time.
All reading and obscrvent men know
this to be true. Take New York tor
an example of the untruthfulness of
these Democratic charges. That great
commonwealth was to be the very gar.
-den of Eden so soon as Democracy
came into power. On every Democratic
banner was inscribed " high wages and
plenty to do," in 1873-4. On these and
other glittering bat tain) promises, De
mocracy rode into power ; and what
has been the result? Instead of better
times high wages, light taxes, and
au honest administration ot State and
1 municipal affairs the reverse is the
fact ; wages lower than ever ; little or
no employment tor the working man ;
business of all kinds depressed ; taxa
tion exorbitant, and ruin and disaster
. everywhere, as shown iu the daily re
ports of failures aid bankruptcies.
Every promise made by the Democracy
has been broken, and extravagance and
-corruption in high places lias burdened
the people with taxes, and is driving
from its jtoiders population and killing
its industries. And comraerce,which has
built up bcr cities and made her the
-Empire State of the Union, is leaving
Iter and seeking other ports, possessing
less natural advantages, but governed
more honestly and economically.
Crime Must toe Punished.
. Rascality in high places is being nu
earthed on every hand, and the heart is
made sick with the geueral display of
corruption and dishonesty that is brought
to light.' High officials, both Republi
cans and Democrats, are charged with
the commission of crimes that should
and will forever damn them iu the eyes
. ot all loyal and honest men. We hope
the work may go on, until every man,
no matter bow high 'his position or
what his politics, who has robbed ti e
Government, or committed any other
crime against the laws ot his country,
shall Lave been brought to trial for his
misconduct, and a just and righteous
verdict rendered according to the mag
nitude of bis offense. We cannot af
ford to pass lightly over the offenses of
any because ot high position or wealth
' the highet the position the more swift
' and awful should be the punishment, so
that the rising generation might see and
feel that the Law is no respecter of per
sons;, that it is not lax in the case ot
tbe rich and great, and severe and un
bending in the case ot the poor and
friendless, but that to all, the poor and
rich, the small and great, it meets out
even and. equal justice. Let the Re
publican party continue for the future
as in the past, to xposo and punish
every shade ot crimand wrong doing,
and it will, reeeive tba hearty and full
endoreemeiife of the-American people.

C'ESTEXKIAL ADUU1SN.
Some time ago in these columns we
mentioned the fact that Congress had
passed a joint resolution, recommend
ing the people of the several States to
assemble in theii respective counties or
towns on the approaching Centennial,
and cause to be delivered a historical
sketch of the county or town from its
formation to the present time, copies of
which to be filed in the County Clerk's
office and in the Library of Congress,
so that a full and complete record may
be had ot the progress ot the United
States during the first hundred years of
her existence. Of course, as this is
only a suggestion on the part of Con
gress, it is not obligatory upon the peo
ple, but as it is a feasible and practica
ble suggestion, which would be follow
ed with good results ami great advan
tage to every county, it should and is
meeting with a hearty response from
the people iu the older States. We
hope that Linn county will not be be
hind in patriotism and public spirit in
this matter, especially as it is not a po
litical fcheme,tb" redound to the advan
tage of either great party, but will be
to the interest and advantage ot the
whole people. What we would sug
gest in tho matter is, that the County
Commissioners select some one who is
competent and well posted in the histo
ry and progress of Linn county, to
write as full and complete a historical
sketch of the county as may be, appro
priating a respectable 6um from the
county treasury to fairly compensate
liim for the t'mo and necessary research
in 60 important a matter. And this
should be done at once, as there is no
time to lose. It the suggestion of Con
gress is to receive any attention at all,
now is the time. If our county author
ities will not move in the matter, then
let the city authorities employ some one
to write a historical sketch of Albany,
and let each town in the county follow
suit, and in this way we can get a very
complete historical sketch such a one
as all would be glad to hear, and one
worthy of preservation for tho benefit
of those who come aficr ns.
WHAT BIIttllT HAVE BEKX.
Representative Randolph Tucker ,the
member from Virginia, in his recent
speech on tho Centennial Hill, made the
statement that in 1860 the annual taxes
paid by the people of this country
amounted to 154,000,000, while in
1870 they amounted to 8730,000,000,
but lie forgot to mention that the chief
part ot the increase was caused by the
oierations headed by one Robert E.
Lee, who lived in a "little town'' ot the
district represented at present by him,
and upon whose grave "no implication
can be cast that I will not rise and repel
it." Had this Tucker and Mr. Lee
been as economically and constitution
ally inclined in 18G1 as Tucker is now,
Mrv Lee would in all likelihood have
lived to dispense generous hospitality at
Arlington to this day, and the lamen
tation of his representative over the
great burden ot taxation would not
have been necessary.
' .
Will Probably Escape.
It seems altogether probabl from re
cent dispatches, that the late Secretary
of War, Relknap, will escape the just
punishment of his crimes. There seems
to be no doubt that the Secretary is
guilty of the crimes laid at his door by
Marsh. The sub-committee of the
Committee on Expenditures in the War
Department, before whom Marsh ap
peared and made such damaging state
ments against Relkr.ap, instead of lidd
ing the witness, discharged him, and he
immediately took his departure to Mon
treal, where he is likely to remain nntil
Congress adjourns, notwithstanding the
House passed an immunity ' act, which
prevents his arrest or punishment for
.anything about' which he might testify,
should he return and give in his evi
dence before the grand jury and the U.
S. Senate. The grand jury to whom
the case of Secretary Relknap was re
ferred, could find no indictment against
him, because of insufficient evidence,
and the Committee of the House are hi
exactly the same predicament. We arc
sorry for this mistake or oversight on
the part cf the sub-committee, tor, if
Belknap is guilty,; he should be pmiish-
ished to the fullest extent of the law.
Raining; 1'lesb.
Wonders will never cease. The latest
wonder is reported from Bath county,
Kentucky a shower of flesh. Prof.
Smith, the scientist, in his analysis of
the specimens examined, says : In my
mind this matter gives every indication
of being the dried spawn of the Ratra
ehian reptiles doubtless that . cf tho

the ponds and swampy grounds by cur.

Editoii Rkgisteu: The glorious
news comes from all over the Stale of
Oregon that Republicans are strength
ening their stakes and lengthening their
cords, it is an absolute fact, let lie
publicans come together and be united,
read nothing but the loyal and truthful
journals ot Oregon, and come out and
vote, and Oregon will be releemed ' at
the coming election. The watchword
of the President and the Republican
party all over the Union is, be vigilant,
and hunt lip all rascals that would
plunder the Government, and try them,
and it found guilty, punish them to the
extent of tho law. Look at the case of
Secretary Belknap, who has been ar
raigned before the bar of the Senate to
be tried, and it found guilty he will bo
punished as other criminals. Did you
ever know Democrats to do this ? Oh,
yes, certainly we have. Did they not
take Boss Tweed and put him iu pris
on ? and if he had not gotten away
accidentally, no doubt he would have
been punished ! -
Did not a Democratic administration
allow the robbery of mints and govern
ment depositories, munitions ot war,
etc.? Were they punished ? No. In
stead of receiving deserved punishment,
they were applauded by the Democratic
party. Democrats generally are honest
thieves! They don't steal the whole
pile they leave a little in the bottom
of the bag to show they are honest men !
Republican voters of Oregon, stand
no longer idly by and be fooled by these
lying newspapers, which would make
yon believe there is not an honest man
in the Republican party, while they are
itching with greediness to get the reins
of the government to ruin it as tlicy
have done before.
Mr. Editor, my neighbor across the
creek came over in his skill last even
ing, with the Democrat in his hand
and a truer Democrat doesn't live in
Oregon. ' Well," he exclaimed, " this
is terrible if true ! " "What is the mat
ter, brother, what has gone wrong?" I
asked. " Jiu-t listen," he answered.
" Boss Tweed has arrived safe in Ore
gon, and he is here in the Forks amongst
us at the present time. So says the
Democrat, and it never lies. Well,
brother," he continued, " if the Demo
crats are importing wholesale thieves
h.to Oregon, I shall vote the Republi
can ticket at the next election. We
have thieves enough in Oregon at the
present time. To be sure, our Oregon
thieves are honest thieves they don't
lake the whole pile but this Boss
Tweed would steal every dollar in Ore
gon, and I would rather break up the
good old-time Democratic party than
ruin bur beloved Oregon at this pres
ent time." I remain yours truly,
STIMULATE.

The Cincinnati Gazette prints a tour
column biography ot Gov. Hendricks.
It gives him "a war record of which
any rebel may be proud," and says he
is" the prince ot good fellows socially,
but a political coward."
Ex-Senakr Brownlow is becoming
facetious. His most recent is this : "A
Democratic exchange thinks that Tom
Hendricks and Jerry Black would
make a popular Presidential ticket, the
combination " Tom and Jerry," suiting
Democrats exceedingly well. Our in.
formation, however, is that they like
it better " straight."
A tornado passed over Northwestern
Missouri last Friday, destroying and
devastating as it went. The town of
Shriukey, Monroe county, was entirely
destroyed, two persons being killed and
twenty wounded. At Kansselear sta
tion on the M. K. & T. Railroad, two
children ' were carried away by the
storm, and have not yet been found.
The damage to property is immense.
The snow blockade on the overland
railway still continues. It appears that,
although everything possible has been
done to meet and overcome these im
mense snow falls in the mountains, so
far ail these precautions have proven
unavailing. The only way probably to
prevent these blockades, is to change
the line of the road, and this will likely
be done before another winter.

The ConfcderVcs in the present Con
gress seem determined to kill off and
make Democracy odious. They let no
opportunity pass to stab that organiza

When tjie physical energies are over
tasked or nag through weakness or disease,
they need prompt .reinforcement. Kcncw
ed vigor is most speedily supplied through
the medicinal resources of that clas., IIos
tetter's Stomach Bitters assuredly deserve
a preeminent place. Weakness, whether
constitutional or 'arising from disease or
over fatigue, cannot be better compensated
for than by a resort to this prime strength
ening cordial. The enfeebled invalid, the
convaleseeut,Ma'nd the aged, infirm, find
that it is an unfailing source of vigor and
comfort. Its combined tonic and alterative
properties also constitne it an invaluable
remedy for indigestion, weakness of the
organs of urination, constipation, torpidity
of the liver, and many other irregularities
and disabilities, and render it an invaluable
protection against malaria, as well as dis
