ALBANY, OREGON, K OV. 17, 1S7G MANjFES TA TIOXS OF 13(31. Every day's dispatches strengthen the evidence that the c'aims of the Democ racy to success in the States f Louisi ana, South' Carolina .and Florida, are founded ". on most stupendous frauds, amounting to the disfranchisement of whole ectioi4i of camtrr ; and 89 this fact beebrries apparent the-- animus of the -Democracy ot 1861 manifests, itself throughont the land. Onr neighbor, dons his .regimentals and ray ''Democrats will never sub rait," to what the legally constituted authoritics,.say is right. He even for gets his boasted Slates rights, and says, speakiu$ ot the -Returning. Hoard of . South Carolina ? , "We do not admit that they have the final decision as to who were chosen as Presidential Electors from-that State. That question coes to a higher tribunal the Congress ot the. United states." Those sentiments' arc put forth to ae the way to a justification of con templated usurpations by the House of Representatives, which it is presumed will not balk at anything which may stand in the way of Democratic: success. The Portland Standard is equally anxious to diplay its bristles. It say : "YheRadieal managers may as well understand the matters now as here after, that it Samuel J. Tildn has re ceived an honest .maj 'lily of the elec toral votes of the United States, he will le" inaugurated the nest President. The Democracy of this country will submit quietly to an honest defeat, but to fj-aud they will not." If Mr. Tilden has a fair and honest majority of the electoral vote, every Republican in the land will lejoice at fcis inauguration on the 4th ot March next, in that the laws may be maintain ed. But if fraiii-j and , intimidation have prevailed in the States mentioned; it shot-guns and bnl-dog have kept legal voters from the polls ; if armed bands of desperadoes have taken pos- sessiorj of the ballot-box, and substilut- ed Democratic f-r Republican majorities; ; it the blood of American citizens have i been sacrificed that' Democratic majori ties may prevail ; if these things are I found to be true, then our Copperhead neighbors may as well understand that the people' will ri-e in their might, and, as in 161,' compel the bloml-hounds of treason to equal and jut laws, which shall be nieeted out even-handed to all men. These threats of onr opponents will frighten nobody, neither will they enhance the success of f beir party. Bravado is uncalled for. The laws will be enforced. The right will pre vail. . FLAXOREGON ANOTHER rEG IN ADVANCE. On Wednesday evening Mr. Jesse Parrish eal'ed at our office, and exhib ited a letter he had jnst received from Hon. A. J. Dufur, Oregon' Commis sioner at the Philadelphia Centennial, which conveyed the information that the flax sent for exhibition by Messrs. Parrish & Miller had been awarded a medal and diploma, for "superior length, white, soft, and best adapted tor Jg nQW the Democratic managers linen manufacturing." : ' have arranged to obtain an injunction Thus it is that Oregon stands ahead from t,ie gupreme Court to prevent the in-another and important article in mo tKR,;u; frm acting except in a purely world's commerce.

We g'.can the following from the Eastern press as giving the bwst idea now attainable of the situation in South Carolina, Louisiana and Florida : The Times in its daily bulletin says, in the general situation there is nothing but what is cheering to Republicans. They may rest in perfect confidence that Hayes is elected. : The Times' Columbia special says it all colored men who intimated a wish to vote the Republican ticket.

Ths will certainly at tract the attention of linen manufactur ers to onr State, when Oregon will be come one of the great manufacturing countries of the world. The culture of iinen-prodncing flax will pay much larger than wheat, and is a surer crop. The limited experierco so far with flax proves that Oregon is specially adapted to its culture ; that it jvqiyres no creater amount of skill in the- pro- ,.r tlmii it does to raise wheat, and that it will pay much larger dividend than wheat. -1 FORLORN HOPE. The Democracy seem persistent and untiring in their endeavors to get their candidate ahead. The extremities to which they are forced is deplorable in the Democrats the legislature .and choice of a U. S. Senator in the place ot Rolertson. It the board is nut re- strained; from hearing the contests of overwhelming evidence ot fraud and irregularities, it will be sufficient to justify ' the co'fcction of the returns, from at least five counties which would give theState "lo "theReimbficarnr-by- not lesa thftn.SjQOa .rojijorit w-th both branches of the legislature. The census t 1875 shows that, in Edgefield county there are 7,122 males, white and colored, over 21 years of age. Hampton is re- turned as havinjr had 6,267 votes , and i Chamln-rlain 3,103.

II a v in become convinced that i snry for Tilden's election that he carry tlee their shot-gmi policy in the South is a failure, and "is likely to redound to their great shame, they are catching at straws in the North. It appears that some of the Republican electoral candidates in the North held country pot-oflices at the time the election was held. The Democracy are nbw claiming that as these parties are government ofHcia's, they are ir.elHgib'e to become Pres idential Electors. It appears that Dr. Watts, here in Oregon, has a Post office up in Yamhill county. On the strength of these discoveries the De mocracy are now claiming the election. Sorry is their case when a great party will resort to such a claim. While it may be true that a" Postmaster cannot be an elector, it is no more true than that a Governor ol a State cannot be a United States "Senator. Gov. Grover, though U. S. Senator e'ect, continues to hold the office and receive t"re emol uments of Governor of Oregon; yet our Democratic friends see nothing wrong in that. All tl is amounts to nothing. It only shows the sorry extremities to which the Democracy are put for a lingering claim claim to snccess for their Presidential candidate. Pity Use sor rows of a defunct party.

A Remedy for Smallpox. The following paragraph is taken from an English paper, written by a noted physi cian : "I am willing to risk my repu tation as a public man if the worst case ot smallpox cannot be effectually cured in three days, simply by cream ot tar tar. This is a sure and never-failing remedy : One ounce of cream of tartar dL- solved in a pint of boiling water, to be drank when cold at short intervals. It can be taken at any time, and is a the State. Democrats trom Aiaiiima voted and raided at will, and when they supposed they had done enough, they made up such returns as suited their purpose, ai d then destroyed the ba"lots,"poll lists and everything else. A Times New Orleans dispatch says the result in Louisiana depends upon the vote of fivn parishes, and gives the following significant tianres: The vote ju 1874 East Baton Rouge: Dem--crats 1,556. Republicans 2.546; East Feliciana: Democrats 847, Republicans 1,6S3; West Feliciana: Democrats 501, Republicans 1,558; Moorclsouse: Dem ocrats 654, Rc-publicans 1,017; Oua chita 7GG, 1.694. Totals: D mocrats 4,324, Republicans ' 8,303; Reoublican maioritv. 3.974. The registration of voles in the same parit-hes for 1875 is as follows:" East Raton Rouge, 1.801 whites, 3,552 colored; Fast Feliciana, 1.004 whites, 2,127 colored; West Fel- as i . - rti n i 1 leiana. 4UO wintes, c- toreu; Moorehouse, 948 whites, 1,830 colored; Ouachita, 925 whites, 2.167 colored Total, 5,074 whites, 11,894 colored. The Times' Tallahassee dispatch says : One feature ot the co'mest here which excites a great deal of interest is the difference lietween the vote cast for Tildeu and that for the Democratic can didate for governor. The Democrats claimed that the difference would not b very great. Official returns received show that it is --o great that it the Dem ocrats have carried the State by a small majority, as is claimed by the Demo. crats. It den will be defeated by at least 400. This, it will be rememlered is a calculation from Democratic fii'ures, The Times Columbia special says : Official returns from 27 counties are in supplying the wants and alleviating the sufferings tit -the poor and needy in our midst, every citizen ot the city' will attend and aid' iti. .putting up a large purse. IN BUSINESS AGAIN. Mr. L. E. B!ain has purch-ed the stock of cloathing, etc., lately owned by Ren. Kohn, and started yesterday to purchase a new and complete stock of fall and winter styles.

WEAR GOOD CLOTHES ANYHOW. If yon yoted with the majority, and therefore consider yourself an available candidate tor-n cabinet office or a pist office, you should manifest your satis- faction with the result by buying an elegant suit at Wheeler's. If, on the raniLrarv. von cast vour ballot on the losb'g sice, and feel "uncommon poor," yon will be much relieved hy.fol owing the same course. This prescription, like Vinegar- Hitters, is good for all. rr.T - r .u- 3 1 ' T I.

It is pretty certain that on tlie face ot the returns every candidate on the Republican State ticket will have a small majority, except Gov. Charolier lain. Should the board bo prevented fnm investigating the frauds and vio lence 7eretr3ted, the Democrats will have a majority in the house of Repre sentatives', and this would close all hope of any contest by . the Republicans, a-d the ritle clubs wiil have gained nearly all they fought for. A dispatch sent north' from Charleston thi; afternoon staling that the Republicans had iifferje d to return Hampton -if the Demt crats would 4-oneede the election of Hayes, is a falsehood to defame memlers ot the board of canvassers, as there is nothing for the Democrats to concede in regard to tho election of Hades' electors.- That is settled beyond question. . ; - A Washington letter received from prominent Republican politicians in South Carolina represents the condition of affairs there as very serious - Many prominent Republican he says have been threatened with death, and. they have arrived at Columbia from the back country only by stealing away.
