The members of the House had an in teresting discussion thi.s afternoon on the question of the reduction of the fees of sunlry county officers. . The discussion took a wide lange, an 1 many facts of in terest were elicited. The views of mem bers were mute diver.-c. A scale of prices. perfectly satisfactory to one, vrould be too low f.r another. Mr. Gray,- from Grant cotiu'y, said that his constituents desired that the foes cf their county of ficers should he augmented rather than reduced. lie said that their assessor, for example, was allowed four dollars per day, but that it cot him 64 per day for his horse, and 1 a meal for himself. Of course his fres should be increased. Mr. Waymire, of Polk, thought that the coun ty oScers cf his county were too well paid, and he favored reduction. Mr. Miato. of Marion, also favored reduction. He stat ed that he was reliably informed that the County Clerk and Sheriff of Marion coun ty each received about 87,000 per annum ; and he contended that two thousand dol lars were au:p!c compensation, and would secure the service- of men well qualified to discharge the duties of -those c-Sces. There'ic'uticn was finally adopted instruct ing the Judiciary Committee to report a bill, relative to the fees of county oSccrs, at as early a date as practicable. The u Biennial Ileport cf the Treasur er of Oregon, on the State of the Treasu ry, from September 3, 1SGG. to Scptem bes 5. 1SCS, inclusive." was printed and distributed to-day among the members. It is quite voluminous, and, to the gener al reader, uninteresting. The following is a recapitulation : The receipts of the Treasury during the fiscal years cf 1SG7 and includ ing former balances, amount to 5397. 500 45- Disbursements, $357,1 1G 59. There is a balance in the Treasury of ail fand3 amounting t 840,353 SG. This balance i3 made up of the several balances of the following Fund.'?, as follows: General Fund Soldiers' Relief Fan i..

An interesting debate sprang upto-x3ay on a motion to repeal sundry iron-clad oath3 passed by the Radical party in whichdebate Messrs Gazley, Cox, White, Smith, Minto, Davenport, Louden and Waymire participated Mr. Gazley and Minto, (Radicals) favored the motion to repeal; but Davenport, also radical, claimed that the iron-clad oaths were risrht: he thought so when they were passed and he believed so still ; and he opposed their repeal. The motion was adopted ; and the House Eubsequently'adjourned to meet next Tue.ay afternoon. Salem, Sept. 20, 186S. To-day the following Preamble and Resolutions were introduced by Mr. Gil fry, of Lane county ; which, after .being quite fully and warmly discussted, were adopted :. "Whereat, George II. "Williams and Henry W. Corbett, now holdhag seats in the Senate of the United States from th8 State of Oregon, have mis represented the pcoplo thereof, in this : That .amongst many other grievous wrongs, they have supported and voted ior measures in the Senate which were in plain and palpable violation of the Constitution of the United States among which taeasuTef! are those known as the Reconstruction Acts of Congress j which acts, in their enforce ment, have overthrown and subverted Civil Liber ty and free government .within eleven States of this Union, and consigned the citizens thereof to odious and despotic military dictatorship, un known to our Constitution, and in derogation of its most sacred guarantees ; depriving the citizens of those States, without trial or'conviction, of the sacred rights of trial by jury and the elective fran chise ; consigning the ir lives, their liberties and their property to the mercies of those who are without responsibility to the people over whom they exercise authority, and obadient only to those who hold the power to command' them for their oppressive s-ct3: said pretended Reconstruction Acts give the people of those States the alternative of a perpetual wearing of the galling yoke of mili tary power and oppression, or submission to the more dreaded fate of b sing governed by hordes of ljnoranf, dluded negroes : TTira, ti. said Wailaics td Cprfcett. bar betrayed and misrepresented the pcoplo of this State in tin support of tnvtititres calculated to de stroy tho Constitutional powers and prerogatives of tit o Supreme Court of the United Stales, and to usurp tho Constitutional functions, of the Hxceu tiTo : Wkcrca, they bavs been actuated by unworthy partizan motives in their efforts to impen h and remove tho Trf ident cf tho United States for pre tended bijh crimes and misdemeanors : Ami Whereat, in the easo of Senator Williams, comparing Iris speeches in tho Senate, upon the Tenure of eflico - ill, tv'.th bis subsequent vote for tho impeachment of th President for a pretended violation of that act', we sro onstrnined ti I olieve that he acted from improper mid unwrtby mo tives, thtrrutr, !?e it resolved by tho Legislature Assembly of the Slate of Oregon, that George II. Williams and Henry Corbet, now holding tho of iccs t f United States Senator! from the Stalo of Oregon bo, and hereby are instructed to resign tho same ; to tho end that perrons may bo Fc'ected, ns their successor, who will fairly and honest! represent tho State of Oregon ia the Uni ted States Sennt". AVoiW. That copies of the foregoing Preamble and Resolutions, signed by the Prcsidcut of tho Senate and Speaker of thu House of Representa tives, bo forwarded h'y the Presideut of tho Senate to sai.l Gcric H. Wi'.Iiams and Henry Y. Coibctt : t the Pivsidcnt of the Senate and tho Speaker of tho Huso of Representatives of tho Congress of tt!C I nited Mates of America, at a 3 early a day as practicable" These Resolutions, as wo have already said, were adopted by a large majority. The radicals fetich t againut them oner gctienlly and persistently; but all without avail. They were compelled to swallow the bitter dose, notwithstanding their earnest protestations and wry faces j and Senators Corbctt and Williams are thus compelled to choose between two alterna tives, viz : Either to resign and thus va vacate the'r Feats; or else, by refusing to do so, trample upon aud ignore the old Democratic doctrine of the Right of In struction. No otto here believe that they will resign. One of the radical speakers boldly stated that they would not;" aud gave that as one reason why it was useless and wor.je than fully to adopt ; the Resolution. "The State Fair is progressing very well. The receipts, to-day and yesterday, were $4,038 an advance ou the first two days of the last State Fair. Linn county is well represented. James Morgan's Oregon bred colt won the prize to-day in l:5o"i ; and Wm. Girl's -trotter, "Slim Jim," won the second heat in 2:25 ; and lacked only a few seconds of winning the third heat. I deem it d e to Gov. Whiteaker, Speaker of the House, to say that he dis charges the duties of his office in a man ner creditable alike to himself aud the Democratic party of which he is an able and honored member. I have heard sev eral Radical members evcu award him praise for the just and equitable manner in which l e discharges the delicate duties cf his position. Salem, Sept. 30, 1SGS. Mr. Cox offered a Resolution this morning in substance instructing the Committee on Railroads to give all the in formation to the House relative to Rail roads which they may be able to obtain. A very animated debate e prang up be tween sundry members prominent among whom are Messrs. Coxand Chapman, and the discussion is noteworthy, not so much for the facts elicited, as for the feeling manifested in regard to Railroad ques tions. The town is full of strangers; all the hotels are full, and many members and others are boarding at private houses. STATE ELECTIOXN THIS FALL Oa next Tuesday, the Gth inst., a State election wiil occur in Nebraska; and cn the second Tuesday, the 13th day of Oc tober, elections will be held for Stitc offi cers in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Iowa. The contest in all of these, ex cepting Iowa, will probably be very close, though the Democracy arc making great exertions and arc confident of carrying them by creditable majorities. On tho 22nd inst. an election also comes off in West Virginia, and we confidently expect that day will finish Radical rule within her borders. On the 3d day of Novem ber the Presidential election will be held, and also the following States will vote for State officers : New York. New Jersey, Deleware, Maryland, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Missouri, Kansa3, Nevada and Massachusetts. In all of these States both parties are strongly and effectively organized, and exciting and stirring meetings arc being hejd through out their limits. Wouldn't Extiiuse. The Radicals of San Francisco have recently been mak ing desperate efforts to organize an Irish Club in the interests of Hiram Ulysses, and one day last week they called a meet ing for -that purpose, but, when tho time came for organizing, the Dramatic Re view.eafi there wasn't a " bloody Mick " in the house not one! The Irish Amer icans fled their own green Isle to avoid the yoke of tyranny and the crushing hand of oppression, and they don't pro pose to assist in saddling a worse despot ism upou them in their new home. The Blaek-and-Tan shoddy nobility of this country can't "snipe' the Irish vote into supporting their automaton candidate. TnE Public Debt. The report of the Secretary of the Treasury shows the alarming increase of 13,288,593 93 in the short space of one month ; and this does not include the purchase money of Alaska. $7,200,000. In fact, the increase of the debt in July was over Twenty Millions of Dollars !

Fifteen Hnnflred Democrats In-Council! BRILLIANT SPEECHES BY SMITH AND HELM ! LUDICROUS & COMIC BURLESQUE ! CRAND T0RCH-UGMT rnOCESStON IN THE EVENING I At nn early hour on lant Stiturdny morn ing the pcoplo began nocking into Scio, for tho purpose of pivrticipnting in tho Demo cratic harhct-uc which was announced to oc cur on that dny 5 nnd by cloven o'clock, tho town presented tho itmst animated appear ance, so tlio "oldest inhubitnnt" informed us, that was ever -known in tlint place something near fifteen hundrtnl pcoplo be ing present. At 12 o'clock the procession formed, headed by Leo &, I'vland'a circus band, and marched through the Mreets of that beautiful and thriving town after which the people repaired to the grove, n phort distance- from town, where teats had been prepared and a speaker's stand erected. The orators present were Hon. J. F. Smith, Congressman ehvt,and Hon. Goo. R. Helm, of Linn. Ry arrangement between tlicso gentlemen, Mr. Holm "opened the ball" in an eloquent and stirring n Id res 4 of about ono hour, dealing sturdy and unrtlcnting Llows on the hea l of Jacobinism, nnd pent tering the sopluntry of the Radicals as chaff beforo the wind. Wo wercMicvcr prouder of the young champion of the Democracy of Linn than when kitting under tho sound of his voice on last Saturday ; and it is tho universal opinion of thoso who have heard him on tho rostrum ,lmany a time and oft," tlAt ho seldom, if ever, did better than on this occasion ; and if thosq persons wh;i last spring predicted that his notuirmlion fr County Clerk would "politically kill him," had heard tho welcoming tdiouts that rent the air upon his appearance on tho ctam, and the approving aud endorsing words from all quarters during his address, they would certainly acknowlcdgo that it was n ftrnsigo way to kill a man. Any man could stand such a "death," and thou.imdii are ;eeking it all the time. If Helm it dead now, hi fjhust in god fr any amount of Radical "meat" hereafter. At the cuticluMyti f Mr. Helm's nddrcs Mr. Smith wu- introduced hy the President, amid wild and voctferuu cheers of welcome. After thanking the Democracy of Linn county fr the overwhelming majority which they gave him in Juno lajst, ho proceeded to draw a striking comparison between tho nominee of the respective parties fur Presi dent, and it wa ii truthtul and patent to tTery on?, and at the same time h damag ing and detrimental to the Radical candidate, that human understanding cannot concetto how a patriot and lover of hi country can cat a vote for him. Nothing tut the most innate bigotry nod prejudice couid ever in duce any considerable number of people t-j d'j so. The greater portion of Mr. Smith's speech wai devoted 1-j that fetupend-'U curse and stain on the country, the reconstruction policy of the Rump ; and he showed it to his auditors in all it deformity, nnd vice, and iticotuUtcncy, dealing in language o plain and timple, yet at the samo timo so convincing, that it was iuiffjasible fjr any one to misunderstand or fail to appreciate the full force of his remarks. Jiu list ened to with the cloaet attention through out, and at the close of Win ad Ires the peo ple manifested their approbation in wild and enthusiastic acclamations of delight. At tho close of the uddressc the people repaired to tho table", a thrt distance away, and partook of a bountiful and well served repast which had been prepared by the hos pi table people of that Locality. There were the fatted ox, hog, and sheep, all roasted in the most savory and palatable manner ; aud chickens, and Lutter, and great stacks of beautiful white bread, pilled up until the earth seemed to groan with it burden of good things; and the people did ample jus tice to the preparations of tho committeo on "grub," for two very potent reasons they were hungry, and it was yo&l. j After dinner there was a burlesque dem onstration in front of the Scio Hotel, which naturally "knocked the oek" off of any thing in that line that wo ever beforo saw, bvth as regarded lud;crousnc.-,s and aptitude. It is useless for us to attempt to describe it, for wo could not do justice to the persons who managed it nor t'j tho effect upon these who witnessed it. It would require to be seen to be appreciated. There wcro tho Frcodrncn'a Bureau, and about a dyzca "wards of tho nation," and a couple of long tailed, rat-eating, almond-eyed Chinamen, all commanded by tho "spoonist," Hen- Bcast Crutc-Butlcr, on tho one hand, rep resenting "reconstruction" in all its hid- oousness and brutality ; and on tho other hand were a detachment of neat, good-look ing white men, dressed in uniform and mounted on splendid horses, and with the nececessary accoutrements of war, and their ensign bearing tho American flag at their head, and we supposed they represented the bloody and feorocious Kukluxes by the man ner in which tho niggers "skedaddled" at their approach. Wo understand that a Democratic meeting will bo held in Leban on in a short time of which due notic will be given and that tho " boys of Canada " intend reproducing their burlesque on that occasioq, when all who desire can have an opportunity of enjoying tho scene for them selves. We were forced to leave for home after tho performance of the above scene, and were not present at tho torch light pro cession in the evening ; but we are informed by those who witnessed it that tho , display was beautiful and grand, and that portion of tho exercises of the day as great a suc cess as any other of the preceding. This meeting, though not tho largest, was the best conducted and-most interesting po litical gathering that it has ever been our pleasure to attend on the coast ; and it is the verdict of old settlers that it was the largest political gathering ever assembled in Linn county. The enthusaism and good feeling during the day was extraordinary, and tho effec-of the meeting is sure to be felt in the coming contest. It is fitting that the campaign should bo opened thus and Wt hope that the Pemocracy of every pre cinct In tho county and Slate will follow in the wako of tho invincible and unterrificd hosts of tho Forks of the Satitiam. The Democracy of old Linn need only to keep the hall in motion which was started with such forco and celerity at Scio, on last Sat urday, and the long-roll will hardly bo able to summon a corporal's guard of Radicals to tho poll in our county on tho morning of tho 3rd of November neit. All honor to the gallant while men of Scio. Three cheers and a tiger for "Old Canndal" UILL YOT1-: tub; way NIIOT. TIII2Y Radical papers and stumpers tako spc ciul pains to culogito tho soldiers of the late war, metaphorically patting them on the back; nnd, by cajolery and flattery, aro attempting to induco them to voto for tho Radical candidate for President, tell ing them that if they do otherwise they aro aiding and encouraging treason; and that if they vote for ('rant and Radical ism they will "vote tho way they shot" during tho war. Can any soldier he led to believe that ho ehot for Radicalism? That he shot to engender hate and IW.er iiiifjuity? to blight the prosperity of one third and cripple tho industry of the re maining two third of the country? to reverse the true rule of Government in the South, huhjecting intelligence to ig norance, and mind to brute force ? to sow tho Btcds of everlasting discord between the two ructions of the Union? to squan der Ono Thousand Millions of mon ey during three years of peace, and to preparo tho grave for untold millions uf the people's treasure? Thousand- of Koldicrs have answered no, to this charge, and have declared that they, shot for a different object, and they will "vote tho way they shot;" for tho Fuion, and not to keep it divided ; to restore harmony aud prosperity tj every part of the coun try, to review the tie of patriotism and affection which bound together the union of our fathers; to husband the resources of our Government for the payment of its obligations; to curtail the expenses of tho nation, aud bring relief from taxation and debt ; for the supremacy of their own race, aud not to give the control of ten sovereign States to barbarian negroes; for equal taxatiou, and not to keep up a monopoly of bond-holders ; for one cur rency for the rich and the poor, for the pensioner and the bondholder, the capi talist and the working man, the maimed and crippled soKlicr and the rich bank, er; (or an economical administration of the Government, aud not to keep in pow er a set of public thieves and plunderer.; for a speedy return of substantial peace 1 and not to keep up a coily military des. pot ism in one-third of the country for these, and for other good reasons, the majority of the soldiers will vote for that spotless aud true sta!e?mau, Horatio Sey mour, aud not for the dumb, no policy tool of the Radical. A r i;w Facts roi: Democrats. At the presidential election of HG4tln i the rule and not the exception Mr. Lincoln, by suppressing the sol diers' vote cast fur Gen. McClellan, and by throwing into the Western States several thousand New Kngland soldiers who voted for him (most of them voting five or six times,) man aged to obtain a majority on tho pop ular vote of -1 1 1,28. At the last general elections in the samu States the Republican majority was only 4G,910, including Illinois and Indiana, which have not held a gener al election since the fall of lfcCO, and crediting Ohio with a Republican ma jority of 2,083, which was obtained by the Republican candidate for Gov ernor, tnough at the same election the Democrats defeated negro suffrage by over oo.uuu majority ana eiectea a majority of the legislature. In 1801, the change of 205,6 1 1 votes would have elected Gen. McClellan over Mr. Lincoln; in 1808 it requires the change of but 23,450 votes to give Horatio Soymour tho electoral votes of the States which were carried hy Mr. Lincoln. In the face of these figures is not the election of Seymour and Blair as certain as is to-morrow's sun to rise! Democrats will please bear these fig ures in mind. The Black Test. This is tho oath which must be taken by those who desire to vote in a number of tho Southern States: "I do solemnlj swear that I accept the civil and political equality of all men, and agree- not to at tempt to deprive any person or persons, on account of race, color or previous condition, of any politi cal or civil right, privilege, or immunity enjoyed by any other class of men. So bolp me God." White men of Oregon, remember that neither you nor any of your descendants can ever become citizens of those fair Southern States without subscribing to that disgusting oath. If you have no re gard for men of your .own race in tho South, will you not protect your own right to emigrato there, and the rights of your descendants? A lady who was looking at tho proces sion of soldiers and sailors at Now York, was heard to say that she saw tho sol dier's and sailor's procession at Chicago, and she thought the republican made alto gether a better show, for although the Chi cago procession was smaller, it present ed a great deal better appearance, because tho New York procession "had so 'many one-legged and one-armed fellows in . it, that it waa perfectlv disgusting' Poor woman J ItADICATi CANDIDATES. There aro more disreputable, tin scrupulous And bad men vhonrcnom inecH for ofilco in the Itiultcal party in the Knstcrti and Northern States, and even in our aiatcr State of California, than was ever before known in any party. This party being in tho ascen dancy during; the last seven years, all the pcallawags and thieve of all par ties have joined it, and things have been run on tho thieving; line by that elass of politicians to such an extent that in the majority of instances, re liable and honest men in the radical ranks cannot necurc the nomination for place. The tdiarpers are too sharp for them, and the people are called upon to stipport men of no character for ofiiee, dimply hecaiiMt they arc dis honcht enough to secure nominations by trickery and fraud. Let every oire examine their own experience in this matter and see if what we say is not true. Take their carpet-bag State of ficers, members of Congress and Uni ted Stales Senators of the Southern States. They are men of 110 charac ter or gbtlity nt all. Many of them are thieves, and bad to leave pome Northern State a few months since to keep out of some penitentiary ; while all have so little ability, and are eo absolutely worthless, that they can not hold the ofliec of town 'constable hy the votes of those who know them best. And yet such cattle for they are nothing more or less are placed in the highest and most responsible positions in the gift of the American people in consequence of Itadical con gressional legislation. Think of a man who had to have Missouri or Ill inois to keep out of the state's prison, turning up at Washington as a mem ber of tho "grave and dignified senate of the United States," representing a Southern State, to make laws for six years to come to govern honest peo ple ! Is it not monstrous ? How long can any nation live when its destinies are committed to the keeping of its penitentiary bird? The remedy for this great evil is in the bands of the people; time will determine whether they will apply it or not. I.lvc ImM for IHCH. The Democrats present the live issues of to day. The Jacobin party appeal to the pafisious of the people, issues which are irrevocably decided. There is not a charge made in the Democratic platform but can be substantiated by prominent j Jacobin newsy aper. They admit that Congress is accessible to bribery, and that the Government is plundered in every direction bv office-holders ef the ruliug party, and that the reconstruction infamy is unconstitutional ; that the ordinary ex penses of tho Government arc double what they ouht to be; and that, in Slat as well as in National legislation, corrup- The Democratic party charges that Ja cobin corruption has endangered the ."afe. ty of the government, and the newspa pers of the ruling party admit this charge to be true. Not long ago, Gov. Seymour made a speech in the Cooper Distitute, in which he made a terrible arraignment of the party in power. The Springfield (Mass.) Republican said the Governor told the truth ; and that the abuses and corruptions of which he complained must go down. The Democratic parly is resolved to carry out retrenchment in the expendi tures of the government, and reform it the collection of its revenue. With a proper reduction of the army and navy, the abolition of the freed man's bureau, the dismissal of a legion of superfluous military and civil office-holders, and other economical measures that tho good of the couBtry demands, the expenses of admin istcring the laws can bo easily reduced to 3100,000,000 a year at the start. To this odd $130,000,000 a saving of 6170, 000,000 a year from tho proceeds of tax ation, direct and indirect. Must it be Forever? Aro we to keep huge standing armies in tho South forever to prop up tho negro governments, and to enable carpet-bag adventurers -to hold on to offices which they aro unfit to fill? The Radicals admit that tho gov ernments they have expended, so much money to create, cannot stand a day long er than they aro propped up by federal bayonets. Aro wo to bo taxed eternally to keep men of our own raco in subordi nation to negro barbarians? These arc questions tho people aro asking, questions they intend to answer at tho polls. The "National Blessing." -According to an .official slatemeut of the Secretary of the Treasury, made on the first day of August, 18G8, tho national debt amounts to the stupendous sum of Two Billions Six Hundred and Thirty threo Millions Five Hundred and EiglUy eight Thousand Seven Hundred and Fifty-six Dollars and Eighty-one Cents 1 1 ($2,633,588,750 81.) ; ..... . , ; .

At Ellsworth, out on the Pacific Railroad, buffalo are killed within two miles of a printing press, a telegraph office and alopomotiye engine houeo. 1 A MOD Eli CAItPET-BAOOKR. The Columbus CrUU says that tho number and character of tho carpet baggers contributed hy Ohio to the Southland from thence injected into Congressional and other offices, must be a source of pride to every loyal citizen, and of shame to everybody else. Every loyal loafer and bank rupt politician repudiated by his neighbors finds his promised land and other property among the' negroes of our Poland. The honorable Willard Warner, of Newark,' Ohio, who was only for a time credited with brains enough to run a small machine company, which he succeeded in bursting, and who was defeated for a re-nomination by his own party for an insignificant office, because of his unfitness, in pursuance of this loyal custom, packed his carpet-bag- last fall, dwelt with the niggers of Ala bama for six months, turns up United States Senator, and was sworn into that august body between drinks on Sunday, the last day of the session, in order that he might draw his salary and stealings during recess! He is now about to revisit Ohio, we under stand, to exhibit himself as a full blown, rotten-ripe carbuncle on the body politic, for the admiration of the rising generation of loyal politi cal dead beats. By what right he perpetrates this humbug, cheats the Treasury and defrauds the people of Alabama of their proper representa tion, it would be useless to inquire,, as the right is based upon the same foundation as is that of the swindler to retain the property he has secured bv fraud.

As to policy, the Radical party has none, and as the "constituency is superior to the represent ative," Grant would insult riis master if he had a policy. ' ' . John H. Surratt.
