Last Monday there was an election held in this aud the various , otlicr counties in Oregon. In Linn county the Democrats -scooped tlie Republicans cleaned them to the bedrock, bat with slightly decreased majorities. We have not the space to go tnto details this week. The returns re ceived so tar indicate majorities as follows: Bonh&m, District Judge. 239; Ramsey, Dist. Atty., 237; Haley. State Senator,220; Stanard, Porter. Weatherford, Crooks, TSumner and Grimes Representatives, by majorities ranging from 102 to 277; S. A. -Johns, Co. Judge, 117; Cliarlton and Holt, Co. Commissioner?, 279 and 238; Stites, Co. Clerk, 334 ; Herren, Sheriff. 110; Urigaby. Democratic candidate, and Dave Andrews, Republican candidate for Treas tiriT, 1311 votes each, but as the precinct not yet reported (Friday) gives a Demo cratic majority generally, Grigsby Is doubt less elected; Smith lor Assessor. 218 ; Bil- yeu. School Commissioner, 189; Bryant, Surveyor, 188; Jacobs, Coroner, 165. j Chan, K. Wolverton was elected Justice of the Peace for Albany Precinct, and O. W. Warren, Constable. ' . Tlie vote throughout the State is unusu ally close. The probabilities are that the Legislature will stand : Senate 11 Repub licans, 18 Democrats, 1 Independents 1 ; House Republicans 30, Democrats 27, In . dependents 3. Should these figures prove rrect, on joint ballot, neither party would have a majority unless Independents voted with the Democrats. However Inller re turns may give the majority to the Re publicans. Tlie returns show a great gain tor the Republicans in ny event. In this county the Democratic vote is cut down very con siderably, notwithstanding the almost su perhuman exertions . ot the leaders and whlpperMn of the party. Everything that could be thought of was doue to se cure votes, even to paying for votes in flour; and we give our Democratic friends credit for being workers, stopping at noth ing to secure success. We dcubt whether there is county anywhere, that has been run by the Democracy so long, that con tains within its organization so many workers - does the Democracy of Linn county. On tlie the 6th instant, Mr. Blaine took the House once more by storm. Sia-'Ie- 1 landed and alone lie "went tor"' the Demo cratic House, aud captured it, bag and bag gage. The effect of hi great speech was truly magical, said nevt-r to have been equalled in that body. Tliose who were before simply friends are now -filled with enthusiasm such as uo other candidate for Presidential honors ever, before aroused. We hardly see how it will be possible after this great success to' beat Blaine at the -coming Republican National Convention. The Portland committee on tlie Are tour nament liave generously (?) offered to let iir No. 4 compete with' their No. 2's, pro vided we jlll play through 200 feet of hoe to their 20, with 130 pounds ot steam.

Good, healthy rainfall yesterday. nnrniTrr We are not alarmed of discouraged by the exposure of rascality In high and low places, which meet our eyes in almost every morning paper. These exposures are the natural product ot liealthy reaction, the preliminary steps toward cure. So long as traud. speculation and defection exist, the faster these exposures come the better. Every.exposure lsj:i preacher of righteous ness, an evangel of reform. The more dangerous, all rascality and infidelity to trust can be made to appear, the better. Our latest advices lead us to believe that we have elected .Tudg Boise by a small majority, and G. n. Burnett, Republican candidate for District Attorney, is elected by over 400. It is said there are 586.173 silver dimes 1n a barrel. Bates would like to know where the barrel is. New Orleans Republican- The revolution in Mexico la pronounced a failure. Tlie bonds ot the city of New Orleans have in the past few years fallen from eighty-five to (tliirty-seveii, while the bonds of the State of Louisiana have, in the same period, risen from thirty five to nearly seventy. Democrats have ruled the city and Republicans Lave the State. - History of False Diamond. A curious object was sold a tew days ago at the auction mart ot the Hotel Drouot, Paris. It was a false diamond exactly like tbe famous Kegent. So far, there was nothing extraordinary in the fact, many pastes having been made be fore in the Fame model. But the coun terfeit jast sold for 20 francs was twen. ty-peven years ago palmed off to an un sophisticated dupe as the real Regent for the trifle of 200,000 francs. The story is worth relating. One day in 1849, a Frenchman, calling himself the Count de Boissat, waited on Prince Torveni, at Napla,. "I belong," mid he, "to one ot the richest families of France, so rich, in fact, that it recently bought some of the Crown jewels, and among them the celebrated iiegeut dia mond, which I hold in my hand. Be ing rather pressed for money I thought I wou!d apply to you to lend me 200, 000 francs ou it." The Prince believed tlie Frenchman, and lenthim the money. Needless to say, the "Counte de Bois sat" did not turn up again. Tlie Prince subsequently - made a present of his bad bargain to an actress, who died in Paris the other day, and the false diamond figured smonj her effects that came under the hammer. A Middle Age Rouuutce. During the recent visit of the Queen to Coburg, Germany, ber attention was called to av venerable tower,, covered with ivyya striking ; symbol ot Time'a changes and life's contradictions. Here, during forty years, Ulrich Von Licit teusteiu, the lover of the unhappy Ai at of Saxony, wife ot Duke Jchanii Casi mir, lingered iu prison. Let me briefly outline this sad history, which is not alone of local interest. This lady was a daughter of Elector ot Saxony, and was married to -the lke Casimir in 1590. Brought tip amid the gayeties of her father's court, she developed a peculiarly lively, temperament, and was ill-fitted Tor tlie quiet, lonely lite which tell to her lot after marriage. Tlie Duke, a passionate lover ot tlie chase, appears to have neglected lus young wife, and she prese'itiy fell into the snare laid for her by one Scotus, a brilliant and wily adventurer, who had wormed himself into the confidence of the Duke, aud secured also the reputation of being a magician and alchemist. His machina tions against the young Duchess were directed toward the result ot getting possession of her -i jewels, and bringing her into' a guilty relation with Von Lichteusteiu, a gallant officer of tlie Duke's household. .Scotus succeeded in his devilish intrigue all too well. Tbe beautiful Princess become totally under his influence, tailing a victim to his slight-of.hand arts, and following his injunctions even so tar as to make overtures ot love to Von Liehteosieiu. Scotus fled with Ida booty, and the relations between the- Duchess and tbe if ffwMwwlwafet m courtier did not long remain a secret Both confessed their guilt, and they were both imprisoned. Tlie matter was laid before the Consistory, and Duke Casimir obtained a divorce. After leading a life of penitence tr nineteen years, "during all which time the mis guided Duchess was kept in close cap tivity, she closed her nnf.-rtuuate life at the Coburg fortress in 1013. Even a sterner fate ' befell Von Lichteustein. He was condemned to perpetual and solitary confinement. His sentence was fully carried out in the old tower lietorc the city, and his dreadful punishment ot forty years ended with his life in 1633. The p'ace of his long incarceration is incorporated with an elegant lwelling iiouse, and the walls ot the round tower now resound with the joyful music and noiy pastimes of happy youth, instead of the groans aud sighs and comp'aints of a languishing captive.' " A .Milwaukee man made throe un successful attempts to blow his brains out, and then his wife told him : "Don't try it again, John : you haven't got any." lie goes about saying he owes his life to that woman. The other day a Black Hills stage driver under-took to horsewhip his passengers into getting out and push ing up hill, but the gold-seekers held a a coroner's inquest and found that he died ot pneumonia.
