The Oreyonitin Seems to be doing what it can to injure tlie prospects ot the Oregon Pacific, Kail way Company. Like Tort Jand'i "leading mpn," it don't oppose the interests of this valley in securing tlie open ins of Yaquina Bay and the building of a railroatf from tliat point to the ralley. Oh, not Perish tlie thought T Rut it does not have "any confidence in the enterprise or tiio men who have Uie undertaking of the railroad In hand," or words to that -lfct. "iVotild not throw a straw iu the way, but the'bay really is a imuh. and the railroad would not pay, and therefore the money to build the, road can not beseemed." Noth ing is meant, of course, by these playfully reiteraten slurs on the leading men of the comities to be benefitted by the success of the enterprise, and who have laboied for j-ears to secure it. We mot be told that all our representations in tie matter of Yaiiuina Bay and tlie railroad !j adiug Into the valley therefrom ;;re false, that our businessmen don't know what tliey are talking about, and ; et sc iiin.-t lielieve all tlie time that the !.';;' ii ;r paper' and Portland's "leading im are our best friends, and desire above a.; thing fitat we of the valley may "pi-ocmc tiir; omUjt for our trade and commerce have so? long and earnestly 'btJinivd for. j However, th road w in 1 built all tho ' same, nvhether Port laud In tors it or not:) nd don't j tut forget it; A nd .my )ittl I aid, gentlemen, y. n iuay contiiu.c to ex- tend to us in the imdertakiiig. will be care- i fully treasured up, to be fu.Jy repaid in like 1 coin In the future- 1 following from the Indiauoplis J:uinU j 1 ices Hancock h.-re he lielonirs.

"Is it a r.ew vebellion ?" asks the Chronicle : It certainly ItHiks lika it All the symptoms and prognostics bear a striking resemblance to-., those that cropped out in 1800. At, Fort Wayne, iu Indiana, there was a great Dctno oral ie demonstration on the iiStli of Sep'ember, on which occasion the dele gation from Wiiiiamspor;, in the fame county, marched into Fort Wayne, with the rebel Hag the- stars and bars fying at the head of the column. At EI wood, Indiana,' there' was another "grand Democratic rally" on the 2-th, and two rebel flag' were conspicuous in the procession. At Circlevil'e, Ohio, on tlie same 'lay, the "stars and bars" were carried in a Democratic procession in compliment to a gentleman from Vir ginia w ho was the party candidate for the office ot County Treasurer. On the 27th a Coiifa lur'ate flag was displayed ail day on Prospect street In George town, in the Disliiet oft I'olumbia, at the Democratic headrjiiai ters. This was a concession to the rebel element ot the party, and though objected to as impolitic hy the more prudent and sober-minded party managers, the of fe !.-ivc demonstration was 'insisted up on by the hot-heads. The Meriden, (.Mis.). Jf.-rui-i of Sepicmber 21st, in commenting upon Hancock's dealara. tion in regard to rebel claims, frankly sftys; : If it had so hapieiied that tho Con. fwlerates had occupied Washington and taken ossessioii of all the public build ings, and Pennsylvania had been a Confederate State. (in .which case, wc fancy, General Hancock, like General jLee, would have resigned and offered his sword to his native State ;) Ralti more had become a confederate seaport, New York a Confederate metropolis' slavery restored, the national debt re pudiated, and tlie Confederate Consti tution adopted, we apprehend the world would not havefcomo to an end. nor American liberty "or American Pninn. A greater calamity might have beta Ten thc Union-loving people of the North. and may yet.' - There things arc significant, ar-d they possess a ceitain importance as furnish, ing evidence of ike real spirit which still animates the Democratic partisans both North and South, notwithstanding their profession of acquiescence in , ."the results of ihe: war." It is a curious fact that such recent converts to Hancock ism. as . l.yiuan Trumbull of Illinois, Dooliltlc? of ..Wis consin, and Men. Uutler of Mast-achti- hells, are assisting in their siieeches, and c.Hitiitiig it as liigii nieritj for their party, that it did tlie most lighiinjjffe save the Union in other words, they claim that there vere mure Democratic soldiers iu the Id-ion armies thf.n Mepublicms.

The man who votes for Hancock votes that the "so-id South" may rule this Government; and the "solid South" proposes to get control of tlie Supremo Court, wliiich will enable it , . jTo, declare ; all. , the . Constitutional Amendments, n.ud all laws enacted to make tbem.: effective"; unconstitutional and void, y To pay all the rebel claims. - ! ; To reorganize the army, placing Confederate officers in command. To pension all the rebels wouiided in the late rebellion. ; To divide Texas., and other States forming enough new Southeru States to make the "solid South" outnumber the Northern States, thus giving them control of the Senate in spite of the lack of population. To repeal all law's taxing the pro ductions of the South, thus forcing the Northern States to pay all the taxes. , To compel the Northern or Union States to put up every dollar ' used - iu carrying on this Government, ami., to use the treasury of the United States in building uj the South constructing levies, improving harbors,' etc., and let ting the North take care of its internal interests by private subscriptions, or go without.' . Can any honest, reasonable man vote for Hancock knowing these things to be facts? Free trade and pauper labor has been the motto of the Democratic party for years patt. The Oemocrntlc Tluct. The New York .. Sun has abbreviated the titles of the nominees of the Demo cratic national ticket. Here is its con densation : For President Two hundred and fifty pounds. Toy Vice-President A skinflint. The fraud cry will not apply to In diana ; the Democrats were too late in springing it. On the morning of the election the Cortrzcr-Toumal of Louis ville, Ivy.', said : "Everyllting was en couraging last night. No, bad new of any: kind wa, received- at Democratic headquarters,.', And : jj,4T!ie great Indiana campaign- is brow'glit to a close wit h bi iilrant 'Democratic prospects." If the Slate had lieen tilled ' with men intending to vote frauduleutly for the Republican candidate, that would cer tainly have been bad news. There were no Republican frauds to det.onncc, or tlie Ctntrhv-.ToirrJi'il would certainly have been made aware of them. Of New Yiuk State the Tribune says : "The Republican 'parly also is stronger than ever before. It has no rea.sm lo fear a contest with the Demo cratic party, even wheii that party is united and at its strongest. Mr Tilden carried this State by the aid of votes which will now be cast for the Repub lican ticket. In addition, the Republi can part' is very much stronger than it was four years ago.". The Indiana Constitution still con tains a clause declaring that "No negro or mulatto shall haye the right of suf frage." Of course it is rendered inop erative by the Fifteenth Amendment, lint there it stands as. a relic of the prejudice and injustice of the past. An amendment to strike it out was adopted last spring, but was nullified by the famous decision of the Democratic Su preme Court. The New-York 1 Viintn ' says : Ti e personal compliments ot Grant for Han cock are not what hurt him and the Democrats, but the explanation given ot the Salter's reasons for surreudoiing to the solid South when he went to Louisiana. These show that he was eager to submit to the South in order to make capital for himself as a Presi dential candidate. It was this willing ness to become a Southern tool which will most seriously damage liini at present. Hancock is so thoroughly in sympa thy with the .South that he adopts its style in conversation. In a letter to fcol in r. Ilaskin, iu May, 1SG8, he speaks of "radicals" and "radicalism" instead of Republicans and Republi canism. The South always uses thore terms, except when it abreviates the former into "Rads" or substitutes "Dam Yanks." Bayard and Belmont have - retired simultaneously from the Herculean task, which they undertook simultaneouxly of proving that the Democratic party had a hard money record. Belmont was hissed and hooted into silence, and Bayard was greeted with a stentorian shout from the Western Democracy to "shut up." - e : The Republicans must not relax their vigiianco because they have gained - a great victory in Ohio and Indiana' Tlw? fight must be kept up with tin abated vigor until tho evening of the 2d of November. Six Republican Congressmen gained in Ohio and two in Indiana is a good start in the direction of rescuing the House of Representatives from tho con trol of the Confederate Brigadiers. That 329 seems to lie badly damaged as a Democratic joke. One effectual way of treating it is to put a dollar mark iu front of it and six ciyhers after ii, and mark over the whole "rebel claims." By tlie way don't let it le forgotten that the Democratic party increased the public expenditures at the rate of over SS,000,C00 a year, -or 41,000,000 in five years, You want lo vote to change that. : The. people of Indiana and Ohio, as requested by Wade Hampton, have considered what Lee at:d Jackson would have done were they alive, and have acted accordingly. The Democratio party is a parly of cheap labor. It -always has ; been -op. posed, to 'the ' policy of protection a policy that, has saved American mcchans j -s from tl-.e pauper1 tvagps ot Europe.' mope, Tlie English pension case is a good deal like his'Cbicago fire subscription. He did a mean thing, and when it cre ated a public stench he tried to crawl out of it by paying tip. Jere Black is a rampant Hancock man, and if Buchanan - were alive he would be one too. "Jeff. Davis and Ja dab P. Benjamin are rampant ;! in the same cause also , 'Rah for a change I Ohio answered the slanders directed against James A. Garfield, by the solid South, in a fashion that the Briga diers will not be slow to appreciate The heavy Republican gains in : In diana and Ohio are a rebuke to the tissue ballot, ride" clnband ' Kuklux practices of the Southern Democracy, Let the Republicans by untiring vig ilance roll up such a majority in the electoral college that the solid South idea will be abandoned forever. The most prominent Drrr.oeaatic pa. pers in the, United States say English, the Democratic candidate for YiccPresi dent, is a skin-flint. , The iSioi ot New York frankly ad mits that Hancock's only qualification for the Presidency is " that he weighs '2i)Q pounds. " Protection sfrid living wages Tor ar- tisaus and laboring men is the demand of the Republican party. The Republican party has always been a peisistent opponent of free trade and pauper labor. The gains of Congressmen by the Re publicans indicate that tho next House of Representatives will be Republican. Had not the Confederate Brigadiers better abandon their policy of solidifica tion ? 6 Hancock vvillnot send any congratu latory letters to the Democrats of In diana. Indiana repudiates English ; is proud of Garfield. Ohio Ohio will give its favorite son 50,000 majority next month. No man can name a single risk electing Garfield President. in The !jiixtrj--Jerwoy Waist. "The sensational result" of the Mrs, Langtry reign in fashion is the waist evolved by her, and now known as the "I.angtry-Jerse'." A fashion writer gives the foilowing emotional descrip tion of the garment : "The Langtry-.Iersey waist has ap pealed here, and is pronounced by all the ladies to be "too sweet for anything perfectly divine." The: garment is simply a ready-made dress-waist, with out seam, buttons, or lappels. it is knitted like a silk glove. In fact, the whole waist is a sort of gigantic glove drawn over the bust instead ot over the hands. Its beauty and simplicity consists in its destroying all the old seams and wrinkles. It fits around tbe arm as a silk glove fits around the thumb. It preserves the outlines of tbe plump fe male form, and gives a voluptuous look that ruffles, wrinkles, and seams destroy A woman with a Jersey waist looks like a walking statue. Whitewash a beautiful woman in a Jersey waist, and you would have the Venus de Medici The garment is pulled on over the head like a gentleman's merino shirt the bole in the top for the head . being very small. There is nothing like presence : of mind after all. Tbe other day, daring a tremendous shower, a gentleman en tered a fashionable club iu this city, beaiing a splendid ivory-handled silk umbrella, which be placed in tlie rack. Instantly another gentleman who was mourning tbe untimely abstraction of just such an article, jumped to his feet. "Will you allow me to look at that V he said, sternly. "Certainly," remarked the umbrella carrier. "I was just tak 'ng it to a servant I employ. , It was left in my house by a gentleman who is in the habit of visiting my hired ,girlr whom we frighteced off by going down into the kitchen. I hope it will prove a first-class clue. And though the ex aperal'2 owner could see plainly where his name had been scratched eff tho handle, he.sftt down aod changed the subject, much to the amusement of toe other members there assembled. Shall the party which was solid against resumption -for five vears bs tiustcd to make resumption sure and permanent ?' The will ot England Is still sufficient'' potent on the Continent to keep the great powers in apparent accord. It wsuld seem' irom wieir vacillating course that tbe fear the consequences of separate actiea. Their sympathies are, however, becom-' ing daily more apparent. It Is graduall becoming evident that if there is a serfou' difference, It will be Germany and Austria,' against all the rest. There Is no especial bond of sympathy between them, exespt that of kinship, which Is net as strong m it might be, since tbe populatioa of Aus tria is more than hkit Slav and Magyar -Austria, with Slavs in ber midst and all about ber cannot but fear tbe aggrandise' mcnt of Russia, and Germany must cling' to her, because both are in tbe heart of Europe, and are similar In race. - Sifft.Q tf on ln.1&.Pn..l -III - .. not wanting. England and Kuatl are the two- nations most directly interested" -in the fate of Turkey. It the power divide; France must go with them. She' cannot keep out of tbe struggle, and sbe - cannot ally herself with Gemany. Italy was perfectly satisfied with tbe treaty ef Berlin, because it did not restore tefrttoryr which site deems bers by right of inheri- - tancc. Cyprus, which once belonged ta Venice, was given to England, when sh thought it should iiave been given back to her. Nice, now the property ot France, once belonged to Sardinia, and Aewtria, has territory on the side of Triste,: which was once Italian. England and 47Mtee can be forgiven, but Austria never. The Austrian, from ; his- long possession of Venice, is regarded as a tyrant and Invader. It is hatred of tlie Austrian that is the chief motive of the radical society known' as tbe "Irradenta," whose motto Is "Italy' Unredeemed." In case of a general Ku." rope.ni war, Italy must go with BusU,v France and England, making four nations.'.. powerful on sea and land, against too pow erful on the land alone. Do Germany and Austria desire each contest? Germany, with Russia on one side and France on tbe other, would bare , to divide Iter armies. There could be no more Gravelottes and Sedans. As for Austria, she would have a long boundary to defend against Italy on the southwest,' Russia on the east. Servia, Roumania and Bulgaria which would probably side witb Russia on the soutli, and, perhaps, from' the Slavs within tier borders. "Would the' - game be worth the powder T Germany has no direct interest in the fate of Turkey.' I'lte two countries are not -neighbors, -and' slie can have no use for any of Its territory Stic has an unquiet, socialist element,' which again begins to show signs of agUa-" " tion, ecenting the dregs ot war. It is not - probable that any ot the nations want war,' ' unless it be Russia. If it comes It will be' . the fault of Austria and Germany, and tn. der the circumstances tbey will probably exhaust the resources ot diplomacy; 'and'' yield consldei ably further than tbey bare" yet yielded before they allow themselves" to be drawn into it. rifMtmut Corners a AlfcNtiiiaisaaS From the huge rectangular Shlrpur, half barrack, half warehouse, we have often looked out with longing on tbe lofty' PuhV man range. . Around its cool peaks the" . gray mists gather, and the snow glistCHa . iu the Iiollows, and the light and shade' shift from the rosy morning to the' violet' tinted evening, all through the" seasohsv And green valleys, tliat penetrate Its' bassT like narrow creeks, seemed to Invite ex-' plorers. Stranger still, our Ilesperia when reached, still seems a desirable land! There is a summer of delightful holidays to be" spent lie re in tbe saddle or on foot. Ia' . the morning the fields lie open before youv The air U filled witb the crushed-Oat sweetness of peppermint and wild Uvea.' . der ; nmd tbe country folks are reapifeg a golden harvest thus early. Hers and there fruit trees spring? up rlghf amongst the corn, or a patch ol brilliant' green betrays the presence of a walled-' vineyard. . As the sun grows hotter, there are tlie narrowest and most tempting country lanes winding through the shade witli sudden openings upon terraced gradens or perhaps a village green.- Through the" turf a clear streamlet steals along, and be neath the trees the pleasant women are moving up and down at a primitive loonv with their lords and ;inaster stretched? lazily beside themi Then there ar orch ards, like sylvan temples; with the sturdy trunks of trees for; pillars,- and' tha che quered light and shadow lor pavement; and' the tremulous green, leaves with their background of azure for canopy, overhead. For music, ttie wandering airs among the tree-tops bear down the ceaseless' cooing of the doves, till yon faney you have chance ed upon a grove ot immortal quiet.' Apart from all this, there is a" profusion of fruit within your reach J Mullberry trees are as common as cheshutt at home ; their" branches, laden with white wax-like 'erries each containing a drop' of some sweet, unsatisfying essence like the honey you suck from clover, or with' their Im. pcria! cousins - streaming with tell-tale' purpel juice.
