A UCRUItSLE TRAGEDY. 3Snrler ntl Stiioid nrnr Brown , . villc iu this County. Jnst rs we are preparing to go to press an item of rno't shocking character reaches an. it U tho murder of a wife and the suicide of the husband. Tha facts, as ws learn them, are as follows 1 - Yos tcrday morning Sidney Smith, whose form U sU mile west of Brownsville, pbot his wife. She ran into the orchard and he pursued, with his pistol. His brother witnessed thiraeo for life, ran to t!te tcscna of Mrs. Smith, and succeeded in getting her back to the house and extracting a promiso Vrym his ma ddened brother to do her n! farther injurv. Soon art-r. under the belief that Sidney would n" t violate his prouwe, the brother went to resumo his labor about the farm. Tho dcvil-posscsscd hus band, it seems, at once proceeded to his duuMe crime of murder and suioide. H j cut his wife's roat, and then shot , himself. The brother hur ried to the house and fuuud the bodies weltering in gore. Both wero dead. Sidney Smith was about 42 years of a?e, and has pasod most of his time iu Idaho for the last yoarortwo. He was an active, shrewd business man, but not faultlef in his habit in domestic re lations. Mrs. Smith was a Miss Presley of Ma-.ion county, and is represented to have bten a faithful wife and dovpted, excellent mother. They have left a family of four children, the eldest bein? a young lady of about 14 year. The news of "the horrible affair was brought to town this mornmat by Mr. Cunningham, who lives near tho Smith tartn. . . ..., Tne Ente Tragedy In Umatilla. Last week we copied a paragraph from the Ore gon ian which reported the hanging of a man named Slater in Umatilla county by a mob, on pretence of his having administered poison to his brother-in-law, George Fry. During the week no further newspaper report of O10 horrid affair has come to hand. But last evening we wero furnished with a letter from a person whe. lives near the scene of the tragedy, who first discovered the body of the murdered man hanging where his murder ers left it, and who knows of the facts of which he writes. His statement is clear, concise, and ap parently truthful. We regret that the late hour at which we received this letter precludes as from laying it in full before our readers. Only a brier synopsis can be given. hens. The vietim of this devilish mob-law was named Stoughton, a son-in law of Olney Fry, Sr., of this precinct, and whose agonised widow is a sister to George Fry, to whom the murderer pretended Stonghton had adminis. tered poison. Sheriff Maddock and the authorities of Umatilla county were very active in having the murderers of Stoughton ferreted out, and already Sbout a dozen who were undoubtedly concerned in the hacking were under arrest. . The chief mr derer appears to- be one Dr. Alderman, and wo preachers are implicated with him. Tha -parties are all " Loyal Leaguers," and it is supposed that political venom had much to do with the murder. The party, with Dr. Aldermau and the preachers as spokesmen, wero found by the Sheriff and his assistant In a guarded house, but he obliged them to surrender, and marched them to Jail. They were armed to the teeth, and were the only persons living in a circuit of eight m ilea about the scene murder who declined to come to the inquest over the body of Stoughton. This directed suspicion against them, and their conduct subsequently in creased and confirmed these suspicions. The names of six . persons from Linn county figure in the list of mob murderers. The letter was written Feb. 27th, smd the excitement was still very great in that section. We hope to leara more fu'ly of the real facts in th case during the ensuing week The Steamers. The rival steamer companies continue, a vigorous opposition, carrying freight and passengers fr next to nothing. ' The new company seem to be stiff enough, while ths old monopoly company, betray signs of approaching exhaustion, and it is- rumored they are about to sell out to the O. S. K. Co. Only a short time ago one of the old line Directors boasted that " no Copperhead owned a dollar of stock in the line." We miabt now add : ma Copperhead Is so Verdant as to pot money in the sinking concern. . . ie - HASDSOaELr Dose At the trial of best spell ing at the District School yesterday afternoonvthe fine prize of a eopy of Worcester's Unabridged Dictionary offered by teacher Flinn for the best speller was wen handsomely by G. A. Hill, son of Dr. R. C. IIUI of this city. But handsomely as he won it, still more handsomely did he appropri ate it. He donated it for the usa of the school. His excellent spelling was only excelled by his generous conduct. . 1 Col. Johs Laxe-t This gentleman, late of the Confederate Berviee, visited this place during the week, on his way to his father's in Douglas eonnty. Mr. Lane entered that service as a Lieutenant and by gallant deeds and meritorious conduct won his way to a conspicuous rank. Whatever men may think of the cause fur which he heroically battled, tney win not tail to admire the earnestness of pur pose of one who'thus perilled his life in its betialf. and whose bravery was attested cn a hundred sanguinary battle fields.

' Editor Dkmocrat : Perhaps a few jottiugs political from this quarter would be of interest to your numerous readers. It seems that the war is ahout to begin in this county. The Abolition (styling themselves the Union) party, " stealing," as is their wont, " the livery of heaven to serve the devil in," have begun to marahal their elan from out all the deep and dark defiles of their fastnesses, and ast night witnessed their incantations over the seething caldron of Republican polities, into which each officiating cast his poisoucus ingredieuts. In oilier words, this party held a meeting last night at the Music Hall, presided over by B. W. "Wilson, our Circuit Clerk the object of which nieetiug was, in the classic diction of the Chairman, to repre sent the Constitution-loving and law- abiding sentiment of this community. Col. Kelsay was the first speaker intro duced to the audience. He stated by way of peroration and thereby unmasking his inviucjble penchant for public uotice, that he hoped he should have many op portunities of advfressing the people iu the coming contest. This gentleman atoned for lack of argument by energy of gesticulation; substituted assertion for proof, and justified the course of his party on the ground of necessity rather thau of Constitutional precedent. Disclaiming all connection with the Samner and Gar rison school, he advocated the same doc nne of necessity; professing to follow "the books," he garbled passages from Kent and Story, "tYhcaton and Vattel. with all the ready facility of a life-long pettifogger and the practiced dexterity of the most consummate empiric. He sternly advocated the theory of liberal construc tion, and thought that Congress might judge what was necessary to be done, and then do it. Well, I believe this is really the faith of his party, and the Colonel is doubtless an apt disciple of its teachings. He coolly aspersed the memories of Jef ferson, Madison and Monroe, by declaring that they taught the doctrines now pro mulgated by his party. No doubt that if this conclave of political necromancers could have called up those great men, the sight of them would have seared the gen tleman's eyeballs, for they would have nrononnced asrainst him and his brethren s 0 a political doom more fearful than that of the degenerate Saul. The next speaker was Dr. Bayley, fresh Iti froid Washington Cityt the Abolition PJ' Cromwell of Benton county. The Doc-j tor is certainly entitled to credit for his to discretion In this rift of hi3 partv he is rne remarkably reticent as to his endorse ment of Con":res3 or the President, and plays the "good liord, good devil pro - gramme to perfection, not knowing just I'ft. Jnrn irhnco liimla ho iriiitr Tall T W ould suggest that he turn from the errrjotn of his, way ; for if one thing will damn anlea. honest man sooner than another, it is theaon. genuine Abolition Puritanico political? creed he has espoused. 1 he .Doctor told us he was opposed to negro suffrage (for which he ouht to bcjeral ousted from fellowship.) because "the ne-1 zro is toot Eufiicichtlv intcllisrent. ncr1' said there were some negroes, however j" 33 competent to vot aa himself, or anyjgyg. other man. In this case it is hard to sayfet to whipli ia iA frt hn Knmtnsnitjiil ' VitJ the candor or his philanthropic progressive ness ; which more to be despised, the natural" result of such teaching,1 or the man himself. Judge Chenoweth was next up. Did not pretend to enter into the discussion of tjie issues of the day but, as is somewhat his custom, dpalt in generalities. The J udge seemed inclined to disown the negro-loving part of his brethren, but did not entirely convince Deuioerata of his sincerity, as his. associations heretofore have been of each a character as although Tray may not have been cruelly treated, nevertlieless'he retains a very bad odor. He very emphatically stated tat; tb.ere wasTio rupture ia his party, although his entire speech was nothing more than a political trass to" keep its bowels from gushing out In Oregon at least. Jn conclusion, Democracy is wide awake in Benton. We have determined to put down the " : blood - letting Jacobins next June. Let its leaders be-np aqd doing. The eld ship of .Democracy still rides the storm-waves, and its guide, the Constitu tion of our forefathers, is still heard by them mid 'the roar, as was the voice of that pilot of old, calling to hold her level point ,her, straight, and let her go slow' More anon. r Benton. . .

Late " dispatches indicate that President Johnson aud the Radicals will compromise their late differences of opiuion. Congress will admit the Ten nessee Senators and Representatives, agree not to impeach Johnson, and mod ify the Freedmen's bill. In return for this, the President will stand hy the agreed Radical policy. It will never do for Democrats to trust Johnson, lie is neither honest nor firat. Terrible.
