I INANCLN OP LIMN COUNTY.
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. "

2t2asoule Font I ml at Lebanon
Several months since, a "dispensation "
was granted to certain Free and Accepted
Masons residing at Lebanon to "opt'ti
and do the business of a Lodge;" and at
tho lato Annual Communication of tho
Grand Lodge, upon application and due
exhibit of their records, u charter of per
potuity was granted, under the name and
stylo of ' Lcbaoou Lodgo, No. 44."
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,

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

upon geoerous good will cannot hence

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

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.
If congress refuses, the people should

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

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.

made a pointed speech, at'thc conclu

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

a potent influence for good.

The Vnrty" and IIm Itceord.
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. Four-fifths
of them might be dismissed from ol
fiee to-morrow, Grant included,; with
out detriment to tho public service.

Difference Bktwek. the Sexes.
An exchange says: When a rakish
youih goes astray all the women gath
er to briii htm back to the paths of vir
tue. Gentleness and kindness arc lavished
upon him to innocence sod peace. No
one would susrecf ho had sinned. But
wlien a p-ir confiding girl is betrayed,
she receives the brand of society and is
thenceforth driven from the ways of virtue.
The betrayer is honored, respected and es
teemed t Ik re i no (eace for her this side
! the grave. Society has no voice of for-gtveue-s.
These are earthly mortalities
unknown to heaven. There is a deep
wronu in them, and fearful are the conse
quences. Radical Kf.prese5tativ Men."
Thurlow Weed sneaking of the Republi
can party, says the course of things mul-
ting from the tebellion has been making
it more and u-ere radical, until Emily its
recognized lenders are, Mr. Sumner, io
ihe Senate, Ben. Butler, in the Honse,
Mr. tireely. in the Tribune, and Wendell
i'hiliip uti the stamp. Two of the c
tm ii." he say further, Grcely and But
ler, were secessionists, and the other two
oppisMJ the Union." And asks "hotr
bmg can the Republican party survive
such leadership ?"
A Dashing yonng widow in Detroit
prepared a pleasant surprise for her suitor
a few evenings since. Expect.ng a call
from hi ui, she hid herself in a convenient
corner, and as he touched the knob of the
!r bell, sprung out in the darkness of
the evening and nearly smothered him
will k.se. Hi cool reception of her ca
resses startled her with a recognition cf
ihe fact that intead of her lover, she had
been lavishing her sweetness upon the -conductor
f a sticet-car, who had cotoo
with a noe explaining an nnforseen ab
sence. The widow, thereupon, with great
propriety, fainted ou the spot.
A pplacable. Tho Leavenworth
(Kan -a) Commercial says. When Burn
sides led out our troops.in obedience to the
commands of the t4powers tbat be," " in
Wa.-hingtm, across the bridges at Fred
ncksburg, tho soul harrowing murmur
ran along the lines, "going to the slaugh

out a peer.
