The Legit-Iatare. thus far this week, hai
shown more desire to work in earnest than
at any uir. since the commencement of the
session. M.st of the members are busy, not
only w!ile the Legislature i in session, but
till late at r.iht, en Committees, Jto. ; and
the work Rome have to perf jrm, in this line.
is truly gigantic and laborious. Dr. Alex
ander, fr c-s ample is on the Finance Coin
mittcj, s.n'i is constantly employe! in over
hauling public accounts, or in discharging
bis dut:' as a member of othfr committees,
when the Legislature is not in session. The
same tru, in a greater or less degree, of
all tie other members frcm Lir.n county.
Linn evunty has just reason t be proud of
thoe whom she has selected to represent her
in both branches of the Legislature. While
it is true that none of them make any great
pretensions t being very powerful aspublic
debaters ; yet they are excelled by none in
sterling integrity, industry, honesty and
good, bard practical sonse. It is quite com
mon f..r ta-2 Radical press to charge that
Democratic members of the Legislature fre
quent hurdy-gurdy establishments and pat
ronize ' Basvoni'? quite liberally. I know
this to be a. ful libel, so far at least as the
Senators aal Representatives from Linn
ounty are concerned. Not one of thera
drinks a drop of intoxicating liquor ; and in
all other respects they dc-mean themselves as
gentlemen and good citizens should do; and
in all re.-pev.-ts they are an honor to the
county ihey represent.
One cf thj attractions cf the State Fair
was the Cath-dic Fair, which, I understand
was very successful. Among other devices
for attracting visitors and hauling in the
dimes was that of a nice cane, which was,
to be presented to Grant r Seymour, Fifty
cents paid into the treasury entitled tke
giver to a vote furor; or the ether of these
candidates for the Presidency. On clewing
the Fair it was found that Seymour bad a
majority of seventy-five votes over Grant!
and this, too, in Salem, Marion county the J
strong-hold the Gitralter of Radicalism in
Oregon.
In my letter of last week it seems I slight
ly misrepresented Mr. Minto on the ques
tion of the reduction of the fees of sundry
county officers. He desires ne to say that
he did not state positively that the county
clerk and sheriff of Marion county each re
ceivd -37,030 per annum, but that, frota the
best information ho and others could obtain,
their inceaie, each, per annum i3-abot that
amount.
Yesterday (the Gth inst.) the Senate pass
ed S. J. R. No. 4, withdrawing the consent,
ofOregon to the passage of the 14th Amend
ment to the Constitution of the United States.
Tho debate which it elicited was very inter
esting and somewhat exciting, and consum
ed a portion c f the forenoon and all of the
afternoon session ; and was participated in
by Messrs. Stout, Herman, Cochran, Corne
lius, Ford, Bailey, IlustotV and perhaps
others. The vote being taken resulted :
Ayes Messrs. Cochran, Crawford, Cyrus,
Dribblesbies, Ford, Hendershott, Ilolczclaw,
Huston Ison, Miller of Jackson, Stout,
Trevitt and .Mr. President--13. Nays
Messrs. Adams, Bailey, Brown, Cornelius,
Herman, 31 i Her of Marion, Pershbaker,
Powell, Thompson 9. It will thus be seen
that, so far as is possible, Oregon has purg
ed herself of the infamy into which she was
pluoged by n Radical Legislature fwo years
ago. The. Democratic speakers contended
that,, but for the grossest frauds on the part
of those who adopted the 14th amendment,
it could not hivepassed ; and they declared
that they took great pleasure ia having an
opportunity to record their votes against it;
and the people will say well done thou
, good and faithful servants."
A bill has been introduced into the Senate
by Mr. Thompson, of Clackamas county, for
the construction of a steamboat canal at the
Willamette Falls. If a canal and locks, not
less than one hundred and fifty-feet in length,
and forty feet ia width, as provided. in this
bill, can' be constructed on the west of the
Willamette, it will have the effect to very
materially cheapen freights destined for
points above the Falls, and break vp the
ruinous monopoly heretofore enjoyed by the
P. T. Compary. '
Quite an exsiting debate occurred in the
M. IX. ABBOTT,
Houso yesterday, (Cth inst.) on a bill in
troduccd by Mr. Chapman, of Multnomah,
to tax and regulate Chinamen, and pre
vent their employment upon Public Works."
Tho bill provides that tho sheriff of tho re
upectivo counties shall collect from each and
every Chinaman, coming to or being with
in bis county, a tax of $15 per month in
United States gold coin. Tho bill will pass
in some sbnpe. It is probablo that China
men will bo taxed $10 per month instead of
$15 j but tho effect, ia cither case, will be to
drive tho long-cued sciui-burbariatts out of
Oregon, and let wlite- men taV.0 their places
a consummation most devoutly to be wish
cd. Mr. Gazley, a prominent Republican,
made an excellent speech in favor of tho
policy of taxing them ; and I think It will
receivo tho unanimous support of tho Dem
ocratic members.
The railroad question is creating quite a
stir just now ; and it will unquestionably bo
the great question of tho session. Lobby
members are very active; and it reports ore
true, all kinds of influences have been
brought to bear upon members ; and it wil
bo nearly as difficult for them to do right as
it sometimes is for an honest man to tell the
truth when subjected to a severe cross exam
ination of an adroit lawyer.
THE STATE FA I It.
Jntlcrcil from the total amount of rc
ceipts, the State Fair which has just
ended is a success. Over $S,00 were
received at the pate. The total can
not ho less than $10,000. We have not
room to go much into detail; and
shall only notice-a few things which
fell immediately under our observation.
The following officers were elected for
the ensuing year:
President, Thomas Smith of Douglas county 5
Vice-President?, Thomas Davidson of Marion aud
Wm. Elliott of Clackamas; Cvrre.yonUn Secre
tary, John Minto of Marior ; Recording Secret
ry, Alfred Saellin? of -Washington ; Treasurer, J.
li. M.re of Marion J Hoard ,nf Manatr. J. H.
Lewi of Clarkania) ; J. 11. I) uthit cf I.itsn ;
Ik-nj. Stewart of YatnhUI : A. J. Iufur of Mult
nomah ; C. P. liacon of Multnomah ; J. G. Eai
kct of Polk ; and Wm. Wyatt of P.ctitan.
Among the articles which particu
larly attracted our attention was some
samples of grain from Ochoco, con
sisting of wheat, barley and oats.
They were sowed the first day of last
April, on sod land which was plowed
last March, by Capt. White and 1).
W. Claypool. The samples on exhi
bition were of the finest kind, and
nrove bevond a doubt that Ochoco
Valley is a good grain-growing coun
trv.
The racing the trial of ppced on
the race-track of hordes vi as a very
prominent characteristic of ti':e Fair;
and, whether right or not, engrossed
the attention of large crowds of pc
ple. We were present on Friday last
when the race between Jell Davis,
and Portland, and Gird's gray mare
took place; and a more exciting time
we never witnessed. The thousands
of soctators surged to and fro in the
dttst betting, swearing, smoking, ca
vorting and it was with the utmost
difficult v that the enenretio marshals
could finally clear the track and make
rcom for the horses. The horses, too,
caught the spirit of the crowd, and it
was exceedingly difficult for their
grooms, at times, to hold them. Jeff,
was particularly fiery and and wicked.
A good way to keep the track clear
was to lead him up and down it and
let him kick at them. This would ac
complish the object when nothing else
would. The conditions of the race
were: Two mile heats two best out
of three resting 35 minutes between
each heat. Premium, 150. The race
resulted thus: 1st heat ; Gird's mare
came out ahead. Time: 4: If. JeflC
2d, and Portland 3d. IdUat; Gird's
more -won the race. Time: 4:10. A
large amount of money changed hands
on tho occasion the Portlanders hav
ing declared that they would either
"clean out" IInn county or be "clean
cd out." We are told they were ac
commodated to their heart's content.
Indeed, not only did Liun county car
ry-off the palm in this thing, butaJ.go
in many other contests for premiums.
We were told by one who op.ght to
know, that he verily believed Linn
county had half the premiums award
ed to it at the State fair. This is
probably an over estimate; but there
is no doubt that Lina took an unusual
ly large number ; and every citizen of
our county ban just reason to bo proud
of the position she occupies in the
State.
Wm. Mason's patent, of Polk coun
ty, took the first premium for gang
plows. Lewis & Walgamot, of Ore
gon City, took the second on Pfiel's
Patent gang, and the first ou single
sulky plow..
Mrs. Walker, of Salem, won the
blue ribbon for equestrianship ; Mrs.
Jliley, of Albany, tho ' second premi'
um.
Mr. Finlayson, of Linu, won the
first premium on a seed-sower ; Mr.
Fry the second.
A cougar and bear fight came off,
.outside the grounds,' which attracted
a large crowd. Price $1 each. It
was a great sell; for all the bcliger
ents did was to scratch each 6ther a
Uttle, and then lie down!
A New Name. The Olympia Republican
says Garficlde is the "quintessence of loyal
ty." Tbey may call it "loyalty" over on
the Sound, but plain Wobfeet call Garfield's
SQrtof essence" the "pole-cat' '"species,

is completed to Green River, and passenger
trains will commence running there next
week.
PUBLIC MEETINGS IS HAIXJI.
Last week Salem was not only bless
ed with tho State Fair and tho Supremo
Court, but with political demonstra
tions of both parties. On Thursday
evening (lRt inst.) Senator Williams
spokn in the "Wigwam," a largo
building in the southern part of the
city. It was about two-thirds full,
and we suppose thcro were six to
eight hundred persons present. It is
not our intention to notice the Sena
tor's effort at any great length, or to
refute his positions. Ho spoke on the
Radical tlcconstfuction policy, claim
ing that it is just the thing needed to
cure the ills of the South ahd of the
entire country ; ami hence that it is a
great success. Ho denied that the
question of Negro Suffrage is involv
ed in the pending canvass; although
he knows that that is the great cen
tral idea of the Reconstruction policy;
and as the Radicals endorse, and the
Democratic party condemn it most
plainly and unequivocally, any one
can see that the question of Negro
Suffrage is one of the great issues noon
to be passed upon by the American
people. Senator Williams next allu
ded to the financial questions; but
said he had not time to dwell upon
them. Is it not very strange that
nearly all the Radical leaders have no
time to devote to this important ques
tion? And when they do touch it
they generally exert all their ingenu
ity in misrepresenting it. Senator
Williams stated that the Radicals had
expended only $100,000,000 during
the present fiscal year, excluding the
interest of the public debt ; ami he
thus thereby led many to believe that
the Radical party had, all at once, be
come very economical. Rut the truth
is, the present fiscal year Commenced
the first of last July; and if the Rad
icals go on in the same ratio, for the
next nine months, that they havedur
ing the last three, they will have ex
pended, by the close of the fi-ical year,
$i 00,000,000 exclusive of interest on
the public debt making a grand to
tal of about g iC0.00O.000 : a um
about as large as was expended by
them last year. Let not the people
he deceived. The Radical party is the
same rascally, thieving party to day
it eve has been.
In treating of the financial question
Senator Williams alluded to the bond
holders. He claimed that United
States bonds could not be taxed
thfa Supreme Court had so decided
and the decisions of the Supreme
Court should be sacredly observe-.'
and sustained. We suppose that
there has not been so great an amount
of persistent misrepresentation and ly
in on anv one great ?ues?ion as upon
tl.Ia 'I I, i. trttfli i t5r.iT.iV this". TIC
Supreme Court have decider! th.?t L.
S. Ronds cannot be taxed, by .he
States, unlets ConyrcM jMt&t a lav' -
thorizing the Slates to tax than. Thi.
we say, is substantially the truth of
the matter, aud no amount of falsifi
cation will b able to alter it. The
Democratic party vrould not have
these bonds taxed until Cngres shall
have passed a law granting the States
thvs jxwcr. They have always been
a Jaw-abiding party; and they will so
continue in the future. It is the Rad
cal party that tramples upon Consti
tutions, and laws, and judicial decis
ions, and not the Democratic party.
On the next evening (Friday, 2d
inst,) the Democrats of Salem held a
large meeting in the streets opposite
Watkins brick block. A telegraphic
dispatch to the Oregonian said that
"the crowd of people in the streets is
tremendous." Ronfircs blazed, sky
rockets shot up into the sky, a brass
band discoursed fino music ; and a
large torchlight procession was form
ed, which, as it marched through some
of the principal streets, made a very
animated and imposing appearance.
The crowd was addressed by lion. J.
S. Smith, and Judges Hayden and
Strong. Mr. Smith confined himself
principally to the speech of Senator
Williams; Judge Hayden attacked
the Senator's political record in his
inimitable and forcible style ; while
Judge Strong spoke on questions of a
more general character. Each of the
speakers acquitted hiuuclf creditably
to themselves and to tho Democratic
party. , For cogency, clearness and el
oquence, Mr. Smith's effort exceeded
that of any wo had ever heard him
deliver. Senator Williams and lady
were present, standing up withtherest
of. the crowd, and being jostled to and
fro by tho sovereigns as unceremoni
ously as if they were not of royal
blood. The ball was thus set to roll
ing in Oregon, which, wc predict, will
not stop until next November, when
our State will give Seymour and Blair
fifteen hundred or two thousand ma
jority. ' -
Seymour and Blair.--The Revolu
tion, the women's paper, closes a review
of the situation as follows: " Wp appeal
to every patriot (including all the con
servative element, we especially mention
them, as their patriotism is doubtful, and
including the Radicals, as theirs is cer
taip,) to forget all past differances and
unite with us in tho great approaching
struggle to elect Horatio Seymour and
Prank Bi,air,"
A VEItY UNEEVL WAN.
Tho Constitution of tho State of
Oregon provides that tho Secretary of
State shall keep a fair record of tho of
ficial acts of the Legislative Assem
bly, and executive department of State ;
and shall, when required, lay the same,
and nil matters relative theretry be
fore either branch of tho Legislative As
sembly; and that he shall by virtue
of his office, he auditor of public ac
counts, and shall perform nueh other
duties as shall be assigned him by
law.
Under this latter clause, via: That
ho "shall perform such other duties as
shall be assigned him by law," the
present Secretary of State Is called
upon to do many things which, in oth
er States, are Assigned to other officers
and functionaries of Government. If
a member of the legislature wants a
en or two ho goes to Sam. May. If
tr wants a few quires of paper ho ap
dics to .Air. May. If ho wants any
locument'he sees Sam May. If ho
wants a key, or some fixture to his
leak, ho makes known his wants to
our friend Sam. If a stove don't draw
well, and is refractory if a lamp
needs fixing if a spittoon needs clean
ing why Sam. May must see that
they are duly doctored and fixed tip
lor the comfort and convenience of
tho members. Nor are his duties coir
fined solely to the members. Fvery
functionary of the State- the Govern.
or, the Treasurer, the Judges of the
Supreme Court are each and all de
pendent on him for many material
creature comforts. Indeed, we some
times think that some of them scaree-
ly blow their olfactory organs, or ap
ply a handkerchief to their nasal pro
t ubera nee, without first applying to
Sam May to know if it will be strict
ly in accord with the rules of Hoylc
and.Gunter.
In many of the States of America,
most or all of these duties, now de
volving upon tho Se cretary of State
of Oregon, are diaeharged by other
functionaries of Government; and we
think it would be well that the laws
he changed in thU regard. If the
Secretary shall keep a fair record of
the official acts of the Le gislative As
semoly and executive de partment of
Stale, and discharge properly his du
ties as auditor of public accounts, wc
think he will do all that should be re
quired of him as a State officer. Wc
find no fault with him at all. No one
could be more polite more affable
more accommodating than the pres
ent Secretary of State ; but we sub
mit that he who not only audits the
public account, and keeps a fair rec
ord of tin Legislative Asscmblv ami
executive department of State, but
sometimes acts as Governor of Ore
gon, should not be burdened with the
duty of supplying the legislature
with stationary, or superintending the
cleaning of rooms, and lamp-, and
spittoons for their benefit and comfort.
IirCCEI-TION OF ;e. CROOK.
0;i Friday (2d inst.) Mr. Uaglcy
offered the following Joint llc.wlu-
tion :
WficnKAi. Cfneral Oeor-re CrooV, to whom the
hoepitality of Ibe .State of Oresoa extended,
is now ia ,ah rn, lis Can; tal of lie B'ile there
furo he it rvsolved ;
1st. That Oem-rat Crook and bis staff are lo
fltcl to meet the Legislative Assembly lojoiu?
convention to-day at 11 A. m.
2d. We extend this courtesy to General Crook
as an efficient officer and a worthy wan. Wc re
cojjniic the services which he performed for our
-c"ilo in the early days of our history, and we
now deire to return thanks to him for the labor
performed and the diligence which be exhibited in
ridding Bouthern Oregon and Northern California
of tbu hostilo Indians who formerly infested that
part of the country.
3d. That a eommiltee of three on the part of the
Senalc, nnd a like number on the part of the
House be appointed jointly, to wait upon General
Crook and notify Lim of tho action of this as
sembly. The resolution wal uiuninioutly adopted, and
Mcrt. Uayley, Cyrua and Isoa were appointed
ou tho committee from the Senate.
Tho .House unhesitatingly concur
red in the above Resolutions, 21 ap
pointed Messrs. Waymire, Gazleyand
Chapman a committee, ou their part,
to inform Gen. Crook of the action of
tho Legislature. At 10:45 Messrs.
Jackon, Tandy and Stites were ap
pointed a Committee to wait upon the
Senate and inform that body that the
IIouso was ready to receive it in Joint
Convention ; and at 1 1 o'clock, a. m.,
the two Houses received Maj. Gen.
Crook. The Speaker thus addressed
him:
General It is ray pleasant duty, as welt as
privilege, to wolcouio you to tho capital of our
State, and tender to you its hospitalities.
In doing this, General, we are going through no
empty form, but giving expression to our deep and
sincere feelings. The name of General Crook
must ever bo dear to the people of this State, but
tnorocspcoially to those of Eastern Oregon. By
his gallant services, that part of our State now re
poses in all the eccurity, from savage murders,
that this capital enjoys, and I am proud, General,
to bo tho organ of a generous people who, through
me, tender you their thanks.
On behalf of tho people of Oregon, and their
Legislative Assembly, I welcome you to Salem, and
tender you tho hospitalities of the State while here.
Gen. Crook then thanked the Joint
Convention for this unexpected com
pliment. He said ho had been on the
coast fourteen years ; all his interests
were hero; and it afforded - him pleas
ure to know that the people thought
well of his efforts. The President
then announced a recess, and the Sen
ators and Representatives were per
sonally introduced to the General.
He is about five feet eight or nine
inches high rather spare build, but
wiry and toirgh ; hair and goatee of a
darjc auburn color ; eyes keen gray ;
his dress Avas plain ; and his whole
demeanor impressed one with the con
viction that he is a very firm, collect
ed, but quiet and unassuming gentle
man.
HON. It. A. BKNSAIi
. Tho Oregonian. and other radical
papers In this State, have claimed that
tho radical party is in tho "interests
of God and morality' and that It Is

neighbor. It id a distinct and uncquivo
cal proposition that sho violate her mar
riage contract, made under tho most sol
emn circumstances ,by Icaviqg her own
lawful husband, obtaining a divorce, and
ultimately to wed said Bcnsal. This may
be all right ; it may be very pure morality
in the estimation of tho honorablo gentle
mau from Benton ; but in tho opinion of
all right-minded men, it involves the
grossest immorality. More than one
man has lost his life for making a similar
proposition and otherwise meddling with
his neighbor's domcstio affairs and marital
rights j and the commou law of tho
United States now throws its protective
03K18 over tho man who thus vindicates
his rights, his honor and his manhood.
We have published tho above letter
not only to show up a prominent member
of tho 4 God and morality" party in his
true light, so far as virtue and intelli
gence are concerned, but for tho benefit
particularly of Benton county. "Wo un
derstand that the friends of tho author
of the sweet-sconted epistle boast that he
is a very popular man in his own county j
and the probability is that he will be
placed before the people again for their
suffrages. If he should, and if he should
be successful, tho people of that county
will, in that event, endorse grossly immor
al acts'; they will endorse one some of
whose private acts strike at the very
foundations of all civilized soeiety.

ton special ' says it is understood that the
status of tho Spanish legation here has
been canvassed by the President and Secre
tary Seward. It has been decided that after
the date when our government received offi
cial information that the Spanish Monarchy
has ceased to exist, its representatives here
cannot be officially recognixed as represen
ting, a sqverign power. It is thought some
of them may be succeeded by the provisional
Junta. Seward has been very careful not to
commit himself against the issurrectionary
leaders. Ic seems that the Queen made
preparations for an occasion like tho present
by making safe investments in America.
It is said that some time ago her agents
bought up the whole of the Germantown wa
ter stock.
