' THE v-Thc special session of the Lojri!.latiTe "Assembly, convened by proclamation of "Gov. Gibbs ou the 5th hist., has passed among the tluugs that were. The two Houses adjourned tine iVe at noon of Tuesday last, alter a needless, protracted, Ptupid, but expensive sepsion of two weeks. The amount of business trautweted iluriu" .the seiou could have been easily per fWtaed by a body of ordinary intcllisjeuee. nd integrity, in from three to five days at the iuost. But the majority of the dominant party in both. Houses were not men of cither intelligence, experience or Integrity," and hence the term was drawl ed out toha utmost. , The nature of the legislation transact ed, most forcibly illustrates the character -of the majority. The BilU and measures Introduced demonstrate the fanaticism, 1otryt and absolute dishonesty of the Radicals in either House; pome of the 'Act which oassod bear witness to tl division in the Abolition party of the pUteTand to the huge scare which pos- 'jwssea lu politic aJhcreuts, whilo iu many of the measures defeated, full of atrocious indictitCBc$s and iufamcus proscription against Democrats, are .important cvt jdcnecB of the tkill, the ability, the uw- , jterly coaduet, and the sterling champion 'thip of the pemccratie cau.e, exhibited aunngine session py mo vem cr. t c ; ec tatort, Curl of linn, and Caldwell of Juse . phine, and of , the Democratic Rcpreson--tatlrcs, Fay and -Beall of Jtckson, Cox rcf Josephine,. and Lane of Umatilla. To these 'gallant defenders of the faith are t the .Democracy indebted for the de teat of the damnably devised Registry Bill intro- duMd bv lTi fanatical lnhiliv f'r.inctiM nf iLkne, and of all Bills' of similar import. Ahd Democrats throughout the State will be glad and 'proud to know that these Democratic Seuators and Representatives' won the well merited encomiums of every ' ttp?ltir nViKArvanl 1wVr.rin ir.r fl:. proceedings of the Legislature, uo lessbe tease of their . high intelligence and assi t dairy to .business, than for their frank, i fearless, bold avowal of tlieft political scu timenta,. M .,: . . ....... : Tbe work of the session, so far as rc i late to Acta or resolutions or memorials 1 passed or adopted, can be readily summed ttp, The Negro ameudment to the Con stitution was passed; the Sunday law was . tinkered into a slightly smaller nuisance than before: the State Printer was white 'washed by Black votes ; Collector Adams .was, endorsed in having seized steamers for smuggling, and the prayer of the offi cials who are to diridc the plunder, that n0 pardon or remission of sentence shall "Iks granted at Washington, was yielded. TLe. Bills to repeal the Specific Contract law and gold coin for taxes law, were de- feated by close votes. The Bill to repeal t us Atuiua lax oi iwo uouare per capita 'per annum passed. Gov. GiLbs Adju- tant General, who received only $SQ0 per - -annum for being an official pauper upon ihe State, .liad , his pay increased $500, t and tliis is a fair specimen of the u econo : xoyu generally observed on the part of the t majority party during the session. . z The defeat of the Registry Bill was the ; acres t disaster which happened to the Ab ; litionists. Early in the session they - were rampant for it; Gov.Gibbs rccom iTcieiided the passage of such an Act. Cranston and Lawson, the foremost of the .faBaticjS and zealots in either Honse, pre t seated Bills prepared for the purpose. ' The pair of worthies performed their al ' lotteJ parts bat their brethren shame fully failed in carrying out the agreed up- on programme.' The majority weakened '' before, the might and majesty of the Dem Vtic. Btorxa . which threatened to assail 1 -their base measure to defraud honest vo ters ef their : right of suffrage, and the ' ; Kcgiitry Bills all went harmlessly in the - pigeon holes of the Senate's Secretary and t House' Clerk, there to waste their harm- less venom. To save tHe appearance' of ft total defeat," however, ' what is known as Pyle's Bill "was passed by the Blacks. ."Ye give it - in another column, and will almpljr eay here that we greatly feared on ' Gaiaj morning last while at Saleia that , t-2 U1Z1 would not pass." It has passed, . ,1-til as f, Democrat we ; rejoice thereat. t--. If the Aboil tioa"i6t3 meant it as a club to hurt Democrats at the polls, we can as l ; ears them ihey very foolishly have put et the WdU-.'of " the club into Democratic s ..txnds.--"'.-;, , r , '- Of other measure passed or defeated we will.not now specially speak." TVc need T! fialy say the, session has lost to oar ene 4 .' x;y-'-hun-irela of votes " and made made thatiaany for the Democracy. On the opetiing day, ns an instance, Gov. Uibbs and the leatling' AbolitiouisU in office, about Salem, f it nd looked like men consvious of impregnable position nudtnrc of fresh triumphs. On the closing d.-iy fl rnin and mud bcdrnjiyled mister seeking shelte'r would have been nearer typical of the nppcarauee and nmnucr of tluesHiucj functionaries, Their "vante hi Oregon Ua lot one they know it; it was visible to many before the siociaI session convened: , , i i 1 , , ' now, they fee it painlully clear tlicm- eelves. They meant to crowd Democrats (Vi ui the poll in ,7 nno if next year by u Registry law- they ended by being scared into passing a law which will greatly ad vantage the Democratic vote. Their tpe eial session has becu the engine of destruc tion to themselves. The Democrats ad vised thaut uot to call it; they rcl used the good advice. Like the man, whose epi taph told his f Hilish fate, are they : they were well, they wanted to be better; they took strong niedleine, and that killed them. The verdict of the people ahcadv is- served them ri$ht. Tin: rvix i:m:ctiox ac t. Below we give a copy of the Bill in troduced at the late Special Session by Senator Pyle (Abolition ) ol'Uuion county, as a substitute for Cranston's infamous Registry BiU.

The Abolition organs wail and howl, and groan, and shriek, and gruut, and foam over the passage of the Bill introduced by Pyle concerning elec tions and the requirements to suffrage. It was introduced by one of their own black flock, passed by their own blacker votes, and yet, strange to say, it operates only against themselves and to the benefit of the Democracy. It ought to be styled the Abolition Boomerang. : It was their own barbarous instrument savagely hurled at Democrats, but tho curved weapon turned in its progress and launched itself with stuwoing, fatal force upon the Boeo tian heads of those who aimed it. It is the only Abolition triumph we ever knew of, over which we could rejoice ;-and, we don't know but that, on behalf 6f the De mocracy, we ought to tender 't'hanks to the Abolition legislators who passed the Bill for thus sparing our party the task of whipping their party in Oregon : they having killed it, the Democracy will have no formidable competitor next June, and need simply walk over the track to win Ail The Decency.
