ELECTIONS IAST TUESDAY.
The telegraphic reports of the State
elections, held last Tuesday, are so feir
fully muddled, and mixed up. and con
flicting, that we are 3iinot at a los to
" CTind out" anvthing likeau intelligible
statement of facts with regard to the
matter. The repcrts through the tele
graph, so far, are all from Ualical au
thorities, and of coarse ccitclIixLcd with
vivid imaginations of what they think
the result ouglj to be. Ohio has proba.
bly gene Republican by a small majority,
though the Democracy have gained three
Congressmen, and perhaps more. Penn
sylvania shows decided Democratic gains,
EO far as heard from. Philadelphia goes
Democratic by abcut G,0C0 majority, the
Democracy gaining fuur Congressmen in
that city. So far a3 heard from the
State ib doubtful, both parties claiming it
by a small majority. The game nny be
said of Indiana, though Radical sources
claim the State by 7,000. There arc
large Democratic gains in iho southern
portion of the State, and when the full
returns are in the State in as hkety to be
Democratic as Republican.
In any event Democracy is gaining
ground, even though all these States go
Republican by small majorities, for they
have for several years been Radical by
greater or less degrees. It will require &
very little more exertion on the part of
the friends. of the White Man's Party,
and Democracy will sweep every one of
them by handsome majorities in Novem
ber. Then let Democrats not be dis
couragedj for it may be that at leat the
old Key-Stcne and Iioosicr States are in
the hands of Wnite, Right and Democ
racy, and that the Buckeye State will
vfheel into line in November; and, alonir
with the other States that are certain to
go Democratic, will cast their electoral
votes for Seymour and Blair, triumphant
ly electing them to p'resiJe over the des
tinies of the nation for the next four
years. Hurrah, for Seymour and Biairl
Latee. Hon. George II. Pendleton
telegraphed to .Judge Stout, at Salem, on
Thursday, that Ohio had probably gone
Republican, but that Indiana and Penn
sylvania were doubtful and still claimed
by both parties. This is authentic.
The Spanish Revolution.- There
can be no doubt of the success of the
revolution in Spam, and that Queen Isa
bella's reign is over. But whether the

There arc several measures which
awaken an unusual logreo of interest
whenever they are brought up fur tho
consideration of tho legislative ;
among them are the Homestead Kx

create the " Department of Statistics,

the bill to tax Chir.amen, the bill to
provide for a steam tug on the Colum

Schools, introduced by Mr. Stitei of

all railroad matters is intense. Va

Dispatches from New York, of the
Oth inst., state that Hon. Howell Cobb,
of Georgia, fell dead on the corridor of
the Fifth Avenue Hotel of that city,
o!i last Friday mornincr. The cause
of his sudden departure for that un
seen shore, v. ith scarcely a note of
warning, is not stated, though it was
probably paralysis of the heart. Mr.
Cobb had a, bright intellect and a
giant mind, and his distinguished
ability as an orator and a statesman
has won for him some of the most ex
alted positions in the nation. He was
born at Cherry Hill, in Jefferson
County, Georgia, September 7, 1815,
and consequently was 53 years of age
at the time of his death. When a
child, his father moved to Athens,
Georgia, where he has since resided.
He graduated m Franklin College in
1833 ; studied law, and was admitted
to the bar in 1830, and was a Presi.
dential elector during that year. In
the year 1837 he received tho appoint
ment of Solicitor General of the Wes
tern Circuit, which he held for four
years. He was elected a Representa
tive in Congress from his native State
in 1812, and re-elected in 1844, 1846
and 1848 ; and during his latter term
he was elected speaker. On his re
tircment from Congress he was chosen
Governor of Georgia,; and in 1855 he
was again elected to Congress ; and
on the accession of Mr. Buchanan to
the Presidency, Gov. Cobb went into
his Cabinet as Secretary of the Treas
ury. He took a prominent part in the
Confederacy during tho war, and was
a member of the Confederate Con
gress and .a Brigadier General in the
Confederate army. In his death the
people" of the South have lost a true
friend and an able defender, and the
country a man of rare intellectual
abllties and noble impulses. .--...

IEX-SXFrCIIK?4 OP JtlEIUHEKN.
Wro have thought that it might not
bo uninteresting to give'a brief pen
sketch of gome of the members of the
Legislature. We commence with
HON. LANSING STOUT,
Of Multnomah. This gentleman is a
native of New York; a lawyer by
profession, and was sent to tho Sen
ate, from a county that was previous
ly largely Democratic, by a majority
of ninety-nine over his opponent. He
once represented Oregon in tho lower
branch of Congress. Ho is a sound
adviser, an able debater and one of
the leaders of tho Democratic party
in the Son ate. He is a warm friend,
and generous to a fault ; and hi pri
vate intercourse is always that of a
gentleman.
HON. T. K. CORN RHUS,
Represents the countien of Washing
ton, Columbia, Clatsop and Tillamook
as Senator; and is a leader of the Re
publicans in that body. He is very
energetic and zealous in all measures
which he endorses; ami is among the
best speakers, on his side of the house,
in the Senate.
HON. VICTOR TRKVJTT,
Is a member of the Senate from Was
co; was born in Ohio; is a Democrat
of the straitest sect, anil by profes
sion is a printer. As a friend, he is
warm and constant ; and as a Senator
ito is untiring and indefatigable in his
endeavors to serve his constituents.
He is bold and fearless in his advocacy
of all measures which be believes to
be right and for the good of the peo
ple. Owing to the fact that he ran
against a bolter, who somewhat di
vided the Democratic party of Wasco,
Mr. T. wa elected to hit. seat by only
one majority an additional fact
which shows how very important one j
vote frequently proves to be to a par
ty or State. i
itov. j. r. fjAZt.KV,
Is a member of the Houo and rep
resents Doguhis county. He is a Re
publican ; was born in Xew York,
and is a lawyer by profession. He is
the leader of hi party in the Hout
Wing by far the roundest thinker,
clearest rea-oner, and best speaker on
the Radif.il side of the House. We
understand he used to be a Democrat,
but for some time past he has been
worshipping the clnny calf of the
Radical party. Naturally he is a
Democrat yet ; but he don't seem to
be aware of his mUerv. He is violent
Iv set against Chinamen. He holds
that they are an inferior, servile race,
and tlierefore they ought not to be
perrnitted'to come to Oregon j hence
he favors a bill to tar them ten dol
lars per month apiece. All this is
right; but if he would be consistent
he should go for the exclusion of all
inferior races negroes as well as
Chinamen.
HON. r. WAYWIUK,
A Representative from Polk county,
is a native of Ohio; his occupation is
that of n farmer'; and he is a worthy
representative of that class of com
munity. He is verv diligent in all
matters pertaining to legislation ;and
especially watchful Jover the public
Treasury. He almost invariably op
poses every scheme involving the ex
penditure of the puldic money. He
is a very fair speaker, aad is not at all
backward in giving his views on all
subjects coming before the House.
Though sixty-two years of age, he is
hale, hearty and active. Politically
he is a Democrat. Personally he is a
genial and urbane gentleman and in
consequence of his sterling integrity
and honesty he is called tho "old
apostle."
HON". .THOMAS I". GRAY,
A Democratic member from Grant
county, is a native of Xew York, and
a lawyer by profession. He has but
one eye; but that sparkles like a dia
mond of the first water, especially
when he is aroused by discussion-
He is a very fair public olTdiand deba
terusing alternately wit, sarcasm
and Bound argument. He looks well
to the interests of his constituents.
In his private intercourse he is a ge
nial gentleman. Like most all corpu
lent persons, he loves a good joke, and
can take as well as give one. .May his
shadow never grow less.
HON. "W. VV. CHAPMAN",
A representative from Multnomah, is
a native of Virginia, and also a lawyer
by profession. He is one of the most
active members of the House, though
sixty years of age. lie has introduced
several very important bills, and
leaves no stone unturned to accom
plish his purposes. He is a ready, off
hand debater; his speeches abound in
facts and figures, as well as invective
and denunciation ; and at times he in
jures the cause he would promote by
being too zealous in its behalf; for he
sometimes needlessly cuts his friends
as well as his foes if they differ from
him, or do not see fit to follow in the
road he travels.
HON-. HENRY E. GILFEEY,
Is a native of Illinois a Surveyer and
Accountant by profession, and repre
sents, in part, the county of Lane.
We have not heard him speak much,
but 'when wrc did hear him he spoke
very well and to the point. He has
acquired some prominence and noto-'
w mrmvn.m 'i im nth
riety by introducing Resolutions into
tho Hotjse requesting Senators Wil
liams and Corbutt to resign. For
this tho Orcgonum denounces him;
but if ho never does anything worse
than that ho can boldly face his con
stituents, and have no fears as to
what will be their verdict.
HON'. R. J. GRANT, ,
Is ft Democratic member from Polk
county, and his native State is Mis
souri. His occupation is that of a far
mer. In good, hard practical sense
and sterling integrity and honesty he
is net excelled by any of his brother
members ; ami, when spurred up, he
makes a very good off-hand little
speech. His firm, unyielding adher
ence to Democratic principles has
gained for him, in Polk county, the
sobriquet of the " gor'tUn"
HON. ISA AG COX,
Hftils from Josephine county. His
occupation is that of historian ; his
native State is Maryland. He is a
warm-hearted, genial sort of maR;bii,
owing to his impulsiveness be is
sometimes erratic and slightly incon
sistent. He is a fair Hpeaker; he
sometimes indulges in genuine, im
pasntoncd eloquence, stud if it were not
for his idiosyneraeics, bin influence,
among members, would be potent.
We hail intended to notice several
other members of the Legislature; but
we find that we have already spun
this article out to a greater length
than we had intended. So we must
desist for the present.
Tln'.Hi: IS YYOKK SUM..
Although oid v a little more than two
weeks elapse between the present time
and the Presidential election, there is
still work to do. The people should
not rest content in the thought that
Ortgou is certain to east hereleetor.il
vote tcr Seymour and Blair, but they
should see that the majority of June
last is largely incrcasel. We believe
that with a reasonable amount of
watchful vigilance and diligent labor
the Democracy can earrv Oregon by
200 major' ty for the Demotrntic
ticket in November, and wbv not go
to work and do it? Kvery voter who
has the goid of his country at heart,
and w ho desires to h i; the land re
deemed from the ireklos away of
Radical fanatic and public robbers
should W up and doing. This is no
time to falter or hang back in the
race. But a few d.tv remain before
one of the most important eleVtioiH
ever held in America will be de
cided. Questions are to be determin
ed at the polU involving the perpetu
ity or hopeless destruction o! the
Government, the preservation of the
Constitution and the L'nion, or dis
union and anarchy, liberty or despot
ism, the establishment of the rights ot
the pcople.or the enslavement of the
masses, the peace and happiness of
American citizens, or confusion, mis
rule and disorder for another period of
four year. Kvery voter who favors
the election of Seymour, the states
man and patriot, and who wUhcs to
defeat the time-serving leaders of the
Radical party, haa a duty to perform.
Not a vote must be lost. The De
mocracy, buoyant with hope ftud con
fident of victory, must swell their ma
jorities everywhere in order that the
enemy may not only be defeated, but
properly rebuked for the reckless ex
travagance and unfaithful stewardship
exhibited in the affairs of the Govern
ment. Unscrupulous men, in secret
meetings, are endeavoring to check
mate the wishes of the people by pro"
longing the term of Radical power.
These secret proceedings of corrupt
men for unworthy purposes must be
met by the united, determined action
of every true patriot. In every pre
cinct in tho county Democrats should
hold meetings, appoint committees
and do good work in the cause from
now till the polls are closed on elec
tion day.
.a.
At the close of the last century iu
England, great fears were entertained of
an immediate dissolution of all law and or
der in affairs of government, upon ac
count of tho overshadowing public debt.
Every thing that could by possibility bear
upon tho great question was written for
tho public. -.Mr; Allison says, in his his.
tory of Europe, that "Dr. Price demon
strated, with mathematical certainty, that
any sum, however small, increasing at
the ratio of compound interest, would, in
a given time, extinguish any debt, how
ever great. Ho further said that, '-it be
ing laid out at compound interest, at the
birth of our Savior, would, in tho year
1775, have amounted to a solid ratio of
gold eighteen hundred times tho whole
weight of the globe I" But tho British
Government wisely determined, for their
own good, never to attempt to pay the
debt of 84,000,000,000.
' ....... i . ,
"Our remedy," says Gov. Seymour, "is
to use tho public money to pay tho pub
lic debt." That don't suit tho Abolition
ists, however, for they prefer using the
public money themselves, and handing
the debt down to posterity to pay 1 They
are like the rheumatic Teuton, who, when
told by his, physician to apply whiskey to
his aching limb, replied: "I dosh pet'ter
dan dat, Doctor I drinks der whiskey
un rubs mine leg mitder-pottle." ;

On last Tuesday, according to pre
vious announcement, the' above men
tioned gentleman addressed th citizens
ot this community upon the political
issues of the day. The attendance
was quite meagre, there not being
more than fifty Democrats and a dozen
Radicals iu the Court room at any
one time during tho disem'sion. How
ever, we are glad to ntntu that those
who were present listened with tho
most profound attention to the re
marks of both gentlemen. Mr. Hor
net opened the discussion in a speech
of one hour iu length, and acquitted
himself with that ability and fairness
for which he is so eminently celebrat
ed wherever he has been heard in the
political erena. His views upon the
stupendous question of Reconstruc
tion, and his summing up and enume
ration of the great and unavoidable
evils which the workings of that in
stitution will entail upon the people
of the South and their posterity, if
persisted in and carried out by the
Radicals, were truly able and convinc
ing; ami were calculated to strike the
uiihiuHcti listener with a feeling of
loathing and repugnance for the party
that wotdd seek to perpetuate ami
foster such an infamy upon n class of
their peers. He showed beyond a
peradventure that it was a strict parly
measure, gotten up without respect to
the Constution or the wishes of the
people whom it was calculated to
govern and control, and only for the
purpose of perpetuating the Radicals
in power at the cxpese e of the tax
ridden masses. He al.o made a tell
ing argument against that other ex
travagant and u-elcHS Radical swindle,
the Freed men's Ibtrcuti, showing that
it wan calculated to wring money
from the pockets of the tax-payers to
protect negroes in idleness and oppress
the white people of the South. He
also devoted a portion of his lime to
the bond question and national finan
ces, making an able defense of the
Democratic doctrine of equal taxa
tion and a uniform currency for all.
But w e have not Kpace to particularize
or mention in detail his many master
ly point of argument upon the great
and uwmentous im s now before the
people of the country, and will only
add that he acquitted hlr.mlf iu a
manner alike credifable t" himself and
the party which he so ably represents
iu this canvas.
Dr. R.nvlbv i'.dlou idjvlr. Rurnet in
, " , , . . ,
a Speech of an hour s length, Cwnsisv.-
ing of a few of the minor ingredients
that compose a Radical harangue. We
coulee we were disappointed in the j
Doctor, for w e expected to hear atol
erably "big thing"' from a man who
wa-s thought lit to lake up the gaunt
let against such an orator us the stur
dy ami invincible Rumet. The Doc
tor began lo speak his piece in very
bad grammar, and kept it up in
very bed taste, by making war upon
a fallen foe and eulogizing their op
pressors. He either couldn't collect
his ideas or he never had any; lor we
never heard a man, occupying Mich a
responsible position, make so poor an
argument out of a bad cause as he did
on last Tuuday. He told us that there
hal been a great war, but that if
Seymour and IJlair were elected there
a
would be a greater one. He said that
if those gentlemen wen; elected, an
attempt would be made to set aide
the Reconstruction measures of Con
gress and nullify the Constitutional
amendments adopted by the Republi
can party, and that this the people
would not stand, but they would
deluge the country in blood! And
for these reasons, every man who
wanted peace should vote for Grant
and Colfax. Thus, the Radical stump
ers, sent out to represent the views of
their constituents and supporters,
threaten tear if we don't elect their
candidates. They have no legitmate
ground of argument on. which to base
their claims upon the suffrages of the
people, and so they resort to intimida
tion and threats of violence and blood
shed to gain their ends.
The Doctor's efforts to sustain the
tumbling wreck of Radicalism were
so weak, puerile and abortive, that
we do not desire to follow up an at
tack upon them ; beliving, as wo do,
that the people of the country will ad
minister a withering and crushing
chastisement upon him. and' his kind
in November next, and take tho filter
native of the war, and blood-shod, and
carnage, and desolation which they
threaten, rather than bo longer ruled
by thieves and robbers, ;

at Yreka last Saturday. It proved a com

of overy description was greater than last

purse, best 2 in 3, for 100, was won by
Glenco Chief, in two straight heats
