The Geor gia Legislature stands as follows: Senate, 22 Democrats, 19 Radicals; ITonse, So Democrats, 50 Radicals. The Democrats having a majority gives them, in f,ct, control of the Slategovermncnt. The London Times is trying a new printing machine, which promises to be superior to any of its predecessors. It J to print 43,000 sheets, or 23,000 perfect copies per hour. The paper is delivered from the roller, and the ma chine also cuts it into sheets, folds the printed pnpc-r and records the num ber printed. Recoxstki-ction-. The manner in which the elections were carried on in a greater portion of the Southern States was disgraceful. In Pulaski county, Arkansas, nearly three thou sand more votes were polled for the Radicals than there were inhabitants. The vote early and often principle must have Wen ricridlv enforced. Senator Trumbull, in a letter to the Lieutenant Governor of Illinois, vin dicating his vote on the impeachment trial, says: "The stories about cor ruption or improper motives influen cing any Republican to vote against conviction are, of course, false. All the pressure, and it was very great more than you know of was on the other side, as an investigation, if one is ever had, will show. But for out side pressure I think no su"h vote as 3" could have been obtained for con viction on the 11th article." The IVevr Steanr AIbanj.

Scarcely a week has passed within the last ten or twelve months where in the Salem Unionist has not had something to say relative- to us of an opprobrious character. But with some two or three exceptions wo have let what it said pass in silence; because we hold the person who now ed'ts it and particularly his predecessor in unspeakable contempt. We de part, however, from our usual course to-day by inserting tho 'following from that sheet, because it contains a vile attack upon Linn county, and the Democratic party: Fr the first tiro In tho bUtory of Linn coun ty, Ikt orders arc soll.nj; at twenty-five per cent. di.ount Will ("onie 1K.I110 -rut of Linn mention time under Republican rula when th credit of t'ieir county, wast at tuoh ft tow ebb? When wi Old Linn bankrupt bel-ru? Wben tho Democrats t k poineyiion, two years ag- did Mich ft slate of fljir vxUt ? About tw year more w opinv will fcire tu convince the t it tens of Linn tbat every x-ftU.iwnjr who can bawl Democracy U not fit tu attend to puMin finances." We have a few words to say in re ply to the above from tho Unionist. That virtuous mid "trooly loil" sheet attempts to stab the Democratic par ts of this county by base innuendoes and assertions totally groundless. When the '"Democrats took posses sion, two years ago" Linn county owed over $19,000. This debt was contracted bv the Radicals. It was contracted, too, not only by them, but in direct violation of Art. eleven of the Constitution of Oregon; which expressly provides that "no county shall create anv debts or liabilities which shall ingly, or in tho aggre gate, exceed the sum of five thousand dollars, except to suppress insurrec tion or repel invasion." Since the Democrats "took posession," they have reduced this debt several thou sands of dollars; and the reason, and only reason why the orders of Linn county are below par is not that Linn is "bankrupt," as is asserted by the Unionist not that no provision has been made by the County Commis sioners for the payment of her indebt edness as it fills due not that the property-holders refuse to pay taxes but simply because the late ShcritF whom the Democracy choked off, and whom the Radical took up, and endorsed, and voted for at the last election failed to discharge hi duty as Collect"?. About $10,000 of de linquent taxes are now due Linn trou tity ; and at least one-half of this sum might have been collected long ago had the late Sheriffdom bis du tv: and if it were now in the treas- w ury, Linn county orders would be a rood as irold again. The Unionist affects to believe that about two years hence the citizens of Linn will be convinced that Demo crats are not fit to fill the public offi ces in the gift of the county. It may be that a change will take place that a revolution in political affairs will occur. Hut we don't believe it. The Radicals of this county left a debt of over 19.000 behind them. The De mocracy have reduced this debt some thousands, as will be proven by the next County Exhibit. Why should the people desire a set of radical offi cers aarain? The old radical officials notonJv run the county in debt to a large amount, hot violated a positive ami plain provision f te Constitu tion by so doing.- W'iit assurance have we that thev will not do again if idaced in power? Democrats arc law-abiding. Many of them have lost property some were deprived of their liberty and some have lost their lives because they denounced those in power who bad violated the fundamental laws of the land ; and it is not probable that they will very soon restore those to power again who, by almost every official, act have proved themselves a lawless set of public plunderers, and unworthy of the trusts committed to their bands. Blair's Antecedents. Some of the Radicals nre quite jubi lant because of the fact that Blair, though now a firm Demociat, voted for Lincoln. These rad'cal would do well to look to the antecedents of some of their own shining lights. John 31. Palmer, their can Jidate for Governor of Illinois, was a D mocrat. So was Oglesby, their pres ent Governor. John Dougherty, Radi cal candidate for Lieut. Governor of Illi nois, was the lireckcneridge candidate in 18G0. John A. Logao, candidate for Congress, was a Democrat, and W. Bush ncll. Radical candidate for Attorney Gen eral. is also a renegade democrat. And last, but not least, Gen. Grant. radical candidate for President, was until lately, a Democrat. Indeed, the Radical party is full of renegade office-holding Democrats, and what is worse, most of them turned over, not because th y nought Radicalism right, but because they wanted. the loaves- and fishes. Ben. Butler voted fer Jeff. Davis fifty odd times, in the Charleston Convention, but he turned over and received a Major General's star, and this enabled him to tcal silver spoons, plate and other jew elry without stint, and to so manipulate .he finances of the South, through his brother, as to become, in a few, months i millionaire.

Thursday, the lGth inst., had bcn set for the consecration and installation of the officers of the new Lodge. Exten sive and liberal preparations had been made by the citizens gcnerully, more especially by tlmso of tho " Mystic Tie' to extend hospitality to strangers, b"ih at a public dinner and at their homes. The day was beautiful; and at an early hour, delegations frum Brownsville, Jct fcrtoo, Scio, Albany, Corvallis, and other moro rcmoto localities, wero wending thitherward, who with tho ingathering farmers of tho neighborhood, contributed to make tho erst quiet village of Lebanon a scene of hilarious bmulo and dtit. The Albany delegation wero preceded by the brass band from that place, who con tributed of their niu-ieal excellencies much to tho general enjoyment of tho djy. The murniug was occupied by many members of the Order iu tomo private matters of tho Lodge, whereby tho Mu-u tcr elect wax qualified to occupy the "Ori ental chair." At noon, the doors of au edifice adjoin, ing the Hull wero ;hrown opeu, and two luug tables, actually crtakinj if not " yrouniity " beneath the bountiful iupply of edibles aud d-iukubles vrh.ch the ladies had prepared, presented a temptation irreniotublu to Iiuhmu and hungry nature, uutil they hod been three lime hdeu and lhrc times cleared, and it was dem onstrated thai however hungry the large crowd might become, tho liberal provider were mure than cqunl to the emergency. Justice having been do c the ample provision to the full atifuctiuu cf .he appetites, the Mot Worshipful Grand Master, Hon. A. A. Smith, of Eogctie. convened a special Grand Lodge, appoint, ing the following gent emuu as ih officers : Ucv. Juhu F. Damon. I). G. M., Jes-e Par rich, G. S. W.; Alex. Gray, G.J. W.; Hon. Thos. S. Gray, G. Treasurer; Hon. Gco. R. Helm, G. Secy.; J. C. Dickey, G. S. D.; E. E. Wheeler, G. J. D; Hrv. J. B. Calloway. G. Chaplain; L. M. Ca rothers, G. B. B.; Hon. J as. Odcll, G. Marshal. A procession was then formed, pre ceded by tho Albany Bra Band, march ing to tho Santiam Academy, where, af ter music by the choir of talcuted vocal ists resident in this pk.ee, and an appro priate invocation by the Grand Chaplain, M. W. Grand Master Smith delivered a brief and eloquent address, fraught with gems of Masonic history and scintillant with drops of wisdom. Masonry in that exalted and intelligent esteem by the Grand Master's effo.-t. The solemn and imposing ceremony of execration fol lowed ; and as the corn, who ana oil were poured out upon the Lodge, one coufu almost look back and down the vista of Time into that ceremonial era wheu the brazen pillars, and shittim wood, and Parian marble pilasters caught the per fume of that incense meant to typify a prayer of faith. Tho leading of the Charter by tho Hon. Grand Scc'y pro tern reflected much credit upon his train ed powers of elocution. The ceremony of installation was then proceeded with, and the following officers wero severally inducted to the stations whose duties now devolve upon them : W. F. Millard, W. M.; Morris Howell, S. W.; S. 31. Pennington, J. W.; Jona than Wasone, Treas.; W. 8. E!kins,Sec'y: Dr. Geo. Odell, S. D.; Kiblinger, J. D.; Geo. F. Burkhart and , Stewards; Wm. Ralston. Tyler. The ceremonies were frequently inter spersed by well rendered vocal music. and after tho benediction the procession re-formed and returned to tho hall.. Thu. ended one of tho best and smooth est ceremonials of this character we ever witnessed, to tho success of which so muoh always depends upon the Masonic intelligence and promptness of the Grand Mandial. Tho Masonic attendance was very large. Other vis ting members and their families, and other guests were unanimous in their exprofcions of appro bation at the hearty reception and abund ant comforts they found on every hand. It was a day loug to be cherished among pleasant memories; and if ever the Leb anon folks have another such time "we hope to bo where we can participate Competition in those things which depend upon geoerous good will cannot hence forth bo their motive ; they can only now seek to surpass themselves- which is needless.

Several new threshing m.tutiincs have arrived hero within tho hint few days which wo consider ominous of good. Tub Cost. The cost of tho im peachment trial of tho President is estimated at four hundred thousand dollars, rind the probability is it will exceed five hundred thousand dollars. The pay of General Rousseau, sum moned from Oregon, netted $9,000. Other witnesses cost five thousand dollars each. It is reported that the bill for printing tickets amounts to six thousand dollars. All of this tho people pay to gratify tho malice of Stevens & Co. Ileniove f he Tux cm. The solution of the financial prob lem is simple. It is expressed in the single word retrenchment. Disband the army. Cut down the civil expenses of the government. Adjust the tariff to a revenue stan dard, so tbat the product may be in creased while its burthens aro dimin ished. Revenue rate will afford am ple incidental protection to domestic industry, without enriching favored classes at the expense of the whole people. Then repeal the taxes. Abolish the income tax, which grind five per cent, off the interest of every city, corporation or railroad bond, whether the bondholder be poor or rich. Abol ish the licenses to merchants, hotel and restaurant keepers and profes sional men. Abolinh all taxes except excises on liquors and tobacco, and if necessary, stamps. The manufacturers clamored for the repeal of their taxes, and congress re moved them. Now let the pwpU clamor for the repeal of their taxes, and require congress to remove them.

The Rejoicing; and ItatlttrM Ion at Nslriu. On Saturday last, we visited Salem to be present at the ratification. At an early hour in the day a vast con course of people bad assembled in the city from all parts of the country. A little after 10 A. M., a considerable numWr were formed in procession by Messr. Murphy, Scott, Curl and oth ers, Marshals of the day, and led by the band and a bras piece drawn by four gray horses, which marched to the avenue where salutes wero fired. Ueturnitig, the procession marched gathering proportions the while, to Marion r- I arion Sqn ire, where seats and speak - V stand were provided, when tho T . , . t . o i. L. I. Grover, tu a b tef and p. - crs Ho Jriotic address, stated the object of the ocCni'i when the Hon. J. W. Ncsmith wa intrriduccd, who pro ceeded to address tho multitude, re viewing the acts and doings of the radical party in a somewhat cans tic strain occasionally relict o I by flights of wit and satire. His speech was received by rounds of applause throughout. The Hon. Ben. Hayden was next presented. Mr. II. pro ceeded directly to-business in hand the consideration of the importance of our lato victory in this State. It is needless for us to say that tho speak er handled the radical office holders of Oregon without gloves. He also en dorsed our Presidential ticket most unequivocally, and besought the peo ple to come manfully Hp to its sup port. His speech was also heartily applauded. Next came Geo. R. Helm, Esq., of Albany. Mr. Helm made a pointed speech, at'thc conclu sion of which, the thousands in at tendance were invited to adjourn to the tables many iu, number exten sive in length where a bountiful re past was spread and to which ample justice was done. The various tabb committee men, conspicuous among wdiom was J. C. Bell, Esq., were prompt, active, ami attentive doing honor to themselves and the occasion by managing a crowd so unwieldy becouse so large so acceptably,; The ladies were out in very large force, and by their presence and the interest they manifested in the great cause of Democracy, Liberty, the Constitution and the Union, wielded a potent influence for good. Reassembling about the stand, th .audience was addressed by the Hon. 'WIM.II.jiiiiIH AW,.' J. S. Smith, who was followed - by the Hon. John Burnett, candidate for! elector. We much regret that press ing duties at home made our early re turn necessary, so that we could not remain to witness the evening pro ceedings, which wi' nre Assured were grand and imposing. Sakmi is just the place for a grand success in the way of a Democratic demonstration. Ninety per cent, of the lending molded meu-of that city nre Democrats as well sis high minded, public spirited and influen tial citi.ens. They have cause to be proud of their Saturday's success.

A new conference Committee wa appointed on the bill to supply tem porary vacancies in the Executive Department. The credentials of Kellogg and Harris, Senators from I.oui-iatia, were presented, and both woru in. The Senate then proceeded to con sider the Deficiency Appropriation bill, to which a number of amend ments had been attached bv the Com mittee, which were variously disposed of.

The first amendment prescribing for only one da of bond wa agreed to. During the diciiion Steven took strong ground in favor of paying the .1-20 in greenback. He said: I hold to the Chicago platform, and a 1 understand it on that point, ti. the New York platform, that these bond shall le p.ud according to the origi nal contract.

The men who have met iu Chicago to nominate (Iraut fir President arc not stranger to the American people. They nre known by thei crimes. Here i a synopsis of their record : They incited a bloody civil war to gratify partisan bate: They speculated on the best blood of the American people: They so loved the pn!i'a of war tha they refused to make peace when the enemy surrendered : For three year they h ive resisted the restoration of the Union: They abolished ten State govern ment and established military rule Mi slead : Thev opposed the supremacy of the h der.tl const jtutiou in war as a mili tary necessity, and iu peace a a par ty tiecessiiy : They imprisoned men for exercising the freedom of speech: They have suppressed presses for di-nouiu ing treason to the groveru incut: They have disfranchised a large portion of tip people for opposing revolution: They have attempted to abolish the independence of the executive depart ment and to nnihilatt the constitution al power of the President : They have alt em pied to destroy the jurisdiction of the Supreme court and demoralize the judiciary : They have impeached the President for defending the constitution, and at tempted to secure his disposal by "in timidating and corrupting the Sen ate : They have supported a greedy throng of partizau I 'z.ironi from the imblic treasury under thu pretence of reconstructing states : Thev have pensioned an army of part izans on tiie treasury under the pretence of protecting southern ne groes and pauper : They have taxed the country over five hundred millions in a single year of peace ami squandered the bulk of it on schemes designed for personal and pariizan profit : They have taxed the west hundreds of million for the benefit of eastern capitalists under the pretence of rais ing money to pay the national debt: Thev have excused the bondhold ers ami manufacturers from taxation, and imposed additional taxation upon commerce, labor and trade: They have assumed the power in a pariizan causus at. Washington to dic tate ioc:i! ';IVV! ,or sovereign and in dependent States: They have con vert cm Congress into a ileii of political speculators and par iizan gamblers. These are but some deeds of the party whose representativesassembh d iu Cliicago on the 20th inst. ? It is safe to say that the delegates who composed the -convention and their immediate partizau friends have rob bed the people of not less ihau a hun dred millions for their benefit within the last twelve months.
