Of .Mr. Stout I am made to say tltat he is from" a count y tltat tras previously largely Democratic? vlicrcaa it should be " largely Radical" Governor Woods gave a soiree last Friday evening, which was t. tended by the elite and polite, not only of Salem, but of the State. Whatever may be said of the Executive of the .State, as to politic?, all concede that, in asocial aspect, he is a nt?il nr. :bane gentleman. On the eveniu re ferred to he and his lady presided with a tact and grace that made all -present feel at ease, and as if they -were more than welcome. Such re ception.? are beneficial in this"; that they serve to soften down political animosities and asperities, and make those of opposite political views think better of each other than they have done heretofore. The wife cf Dr. M'Afee died yester day verv suddenlv? nn'l cinri . jife that foul pl.iv has had something to do with her sudden exit. According to the " loir telegraph i.he Xew York World advices "the Democracy to withdraw Sevmottrand - Blair and to put Chase and Adam., or somebody else, on the ticket in--stead. I do not know how much truth there is in these reports ; but I Taise my voice against anv such move- ment. Its moral effects would be dis .astroos and suicidal, and would en sure certain defeat to the Democratic party. Let us stand by our principles .and our standard-bearers ; and if we must tjo down let us go down togeth er. A bill introduced by Mr. Stitcs, of JLinn county, relating to Common Schools, passed the House to-day, af ter a warm debate. It repeals the iron-clad oath of the school law now in the statute book ; it fixes the lenirth of a school quarter; and it provides for the levying of a four mill tar. What will 'be its fate in the Seuate I cannot tell, b it think it will pa?g. It was "quite ably defended, in the House, by several members not least among whom were Stitesand Johnson of Linn county. 1. have before me a Prospectus of -.an agricultural weekly paper entitled the " Willamette Farmer? a new -candidate for public favor. I deem the field in which it proposes to la bor so important that I shall quote largely from the Prospectus. It says: At a meeting of the Oregon State Agricultural -Society, held at thuir Annual Fair, 18C3, the fol lowing resolutions were unanimously adopted : Betoltcd, That taii Society do publish an Ag tleultaral Weekly paper, under ita own eoDtrol anrl tiinorrjtlnn milinn St. Ae,.B. .V - " . Tnesday of next March, at $2 50, ja U. S. coin, per annuia, payable in advance. " Retohed. That a Committee of three be ap pointed, whose duty it shall be t' secure tha edit ing and publishing of gaid paper ; and with power to obtain funds for that purpose, from the funda of the Society, or loan on the faith cf the same, if found necessary , In conformity w.th the foregoing the un ler'ign ei were appointed a Committee on Publication. This prospectus is issued in accordance with the foregoing resolutions. It i conceded that sundry attempts have been made to publish an Agricultural journal in Oregon; and that, from causes not necessary here to enumerate, tbey prov ed abortive. In consequence of thest. faihirra m impression i3 abroad that an Agricultural journal Acannot yet be Busts ined in Oregon. But the pub io will readily see, by the foregoing Regulations, that the Agricultural Society of this State have made such arrangeiirsuts a3 to prevent a failure in the., future. Its regular publication and perma nency are secured )eyond all contingencies. Such being the case,. Tfo call on every farmer, every Mechanic, every Laborer, every Professional man, in short, all who have the good of the Northern Pacific Coast at heart; of every yocation anu call ing, to subscribe for the " Willamette Faiimek." It will be issued weekly, of about 24 by 3J inches size, on good white paper; and will be de TOted to Agriculture, Education, Commerce, Min eralogy, and the M..chanle Arts ; and to the high est and best matr al interests of the people gen erally. Its great a tci will beta elevate, and en noble, and aid the hone?t laboring classes of the ntire PaciSc Coast, but particularly those of Ore on and Washington Territory. Our nobis State is unsurpassed in all the ele ments of material flatness and prosperity. We have a mild, healthful, and equable -climate ; we have a fertile soil, yielding large rMurns to the husbandman, aud s ich an event as a total failure 0f erops here is atsohtely unknown. Nitore baa cmocvaf dealt bountifully with hi ; and the duty Is devolv ed upon us to develop the unsurpassed resources of)ur land. Let every one wh can, conic for ward, and aid the Agricultural Society of Oregon in this laudable "uudcrtakiug ; and while thus lending belplng hand to a worthy object they will also bencGt thciasclves. If the Committee meet with iuRieientonc.'wrat;e inent by tho 1st day of January, next, the first msoiKr of tho Farmer will be istucd at that time. J AS. If. DorTBtT,) Pul!ii'nff Cvmmtttt of JcHS Ml!IT, th (rr?o StttH Salem, Orvgoit, Octobor 17, 1SC3. This enterprise is one in which every farmer, and mechanic, and labor er in ftet all who have the best in terests of Oregon at heart should feel a lively intercut. It is one that should bo liberally encouraged ; and we hope that the just expectations of the publishing Committee, in this re gard, will be handsomely realized. Salem, October 20, The House to-day passed the bill familiarly known as the "Chinese Hill;" a bill to tax tho Chinese pop ulation $10 per month. I think it will pass, the Senate without difaculty. To-day, also, the House parsed Cl. Chapman's bill, by a vote of 42 to 2, providing fr a powerful steam tug upon the Columbia bar, and to regu late the fees fr pilotage and towage. This is one of the most important measures which has engaged the at tention of the legislature, and when fully in operation, will result -in in calculable good to all the industrial classes of Oregon. Salkm, Oct. 21, 1SC3. An evening session was held on yesterday evening, and tho S. J. II. Xo. 10, recognizing the east-side Oregon Central llailroad as the one entitled to the land grant of Congress, came up for consideration. Mr. (I ray moved that the House concur with the Senate in the adoption of the reso lution. On this motion, an 1 on sun dry motions to amend, a warm debate ensued, in which 3Iesr. Chapman, Gray, CJazley, Cox, Waymire, Smith of Jackson, Minto, Flook, Iulliiigcr, Stites and llumet, all participated.

As I am about mailing this ietter I learn that the Governor has vetoed the bill providing that the Legislature shall elect a Superintendent of the penitentiary. I know not what rea son he has given for refusing to ign the bill ; but I am satisfied that the true reason is that he does not want to be deprived of the appointing pow er himself True to the party he rep resents, he is in f ivor of centralization of Kwer. We shall have more to pay on this subject hereafter. TlIG SlTI'LY OY (iOU) AND THE NA TIONAL Debt. The N. Y. Journal of Commerce, in reply to several corre spondents inquiring the supply of coined gold and bullion in the coun try, states it as follows: Sloclc of pci3 in 1SCU. $2OO,Ofi0.0C0 Home product; six years 239r(tfttt,Gt'0 Imported, six year fe,9 ;3,273 Supply.. ..$6ll,g.rj,t'7S Ki ported, tax years Leaves etock, June 30, 1SC7 $lSi),lS2,S7! This simple statement of the sup ply of coined gold and bullion in the United States shows how absurd it is to talk of paying our immense debt in coin. All we have in our posses, sion amounts to only one hundred and ninety million?, while the debt is over twenty-ftve hundred millions! It is nonsense, therefore, to talk of paying the debt in gold it is impossible to do so ; and the talk of gold payment is nothing but a cover for making the debt perpetual and rendering Labor the (slave of IJondholding Capital. A Statesman and Patriot. It h acknowledged on all sides that no man iu the country is more woHhy of i(s con fidence, or more capable of administering its government, thau Iloration Scy m our. As a statesman of experience and inferg rity of sagacity and prudence of tried patriotism and energy ; as a citizen of pure lile, faithful to christian dufy his record is without blot. The elevation of such a man to tho office of Chief Msgis trate of the Republic, would be a pledge cf a return to tho Constitutional observ ance which would revive the nation from ,he complications that now embarrass it, that depress its interests and jeopardize the principles upon which its liberties rest. The South Carolina, Legislature consists of twenty white and twelve negro Senators, and forty-four whites and eighty negroes in the lower House. What do you think, reader, after this experience, of the justice of arresting American citizens for having said that " this is a war for the nigger, and not for the Union?" DEMOCRATIC fillllII.0. On last Wednesday night Hons, Jas. IF. Slater, L. F. O rover and S. P. Chadvvick, according to announce ment, addressed tho people at the Court House in this city each one occupying about an hour in the deliv ery of his speech. Mr. SI iter, of Un ion county, one of the Democratic candidates for Presidential Klcctor, "opened the ball," devoting his re marks exclusively to the subject of National Finances; and we believe we echo the sentiment of every Dem ocrat present when we say that ho made tho best argument upon that momentous issue that has been deliv ered iu Albany during the campaign. His ideas of the Democratic policy, as expressed in their platform, were plainly expressed, easily understood and convincing iu their feasibility, while his exposition of tho ruinous financial policy of the lladicaU was equally forcible and patent to every one. Tho views of Mr, S. upon the financial question a question that goes home to the hearts, fireside and jHcit of all classes of Americans will certainly do good wherever heard. 31 r. G rover wife the second sixakcr, and he announced his line of march to be directly upon the rotten bul warks of Kadical Reconstruction and its sure requeue', negro suffrage und negro domination in the Southern St.ites. He acquitted himself with that ability for which he is so justly celebrated, making telling strokes up on Jacobinism as promulgated in the infamous and monstrous I coni ruc tion acts of Congress. Ho showed conclusively that President Johnu was attempting to carry out that just and rational policy commenced and imperfectly pursued by Mr. Lincoln, and that the lladicaU only sought to change it when they found that by its workings they could not make their supremacy in the Government perpet ual, and their nign of tyranny over the South complete ami lasting. Mr. Chadwick closed the meeting in an able and eloquent summing up and manipulation of the National lit publican Platform, showing up to the gaz? of the audience its glaring in connivencies an 1 gross misrepresent ations of t!u; condition of tl.o affair of our nation at the time of its adop tion, lie pound hot-hot and shell into the camp of the cucrny iu fu-h rapid torrents, that it was impossible fr us to take notes of hi effort, but it was a great satisfaction to us to see how our Uadical friends writhed and squirmed under his fastty falling luh and withering hail of facts and argu ments. "Chad" as he is familiarly called thinks fast, talks fast, gestic ulates fast, and knocks the pin from under the Hadica! platform as fast as anv one we ever knew. If he don't wake the snakes" and bring them to judgment yet in this campaign we have "muchly missed our gnes. He is a whole team in himself, and ev ery one whomissc an opportunity to hear him speak wilt lose a rich orato rical treat. AH three of the speakers were greeted with rousing cheers at the be ginning and close of their speeches, and the Democracy showed that the late telegraphic abortions from the East, called dispatches, had not damp. cried their ardor to any great extent. FEDCRAX lUXTXiAVAUAIItX, The total amount of the federal debt on the first of January, IiH, af ter deducting cash on hand, as ap peared from Secretary McCuIloek's reports was $2,509,125,610. On the First day of August, 16CH, after de ducting cash on hand, was $2,523,534, 480. Increase iu seven months $15, 408,930 or more .than $2,200,000 per month. During the Kame time that portion of the debt bearing coin inter est has increased to the amount of $103,209,700, and the amount of coin in the Treasury has decreased $25,020,- 335. We are not able to state accu rately the amount of average monthly taxation during this period, but it is about $33,000,000, or in other words theexpendituresarein around numbers $35,000,000 per month. Now the aver age monthly expenditure for interest on debt and pensions is about $12,500, 000, which leaves for ordinary expen ses of running the government $22, 500,000. We ask simply that these amounts may be considered, in order that tiro economy of the party which no v makes such expenditures may be fully appreciated. Take this increase of debt bearing coin interest almost $200,000,000, interest in coin $12,000, 000, or in currency about $17,000,000. Take this decrease of coin on hand, more than $20,000,000, or valued in currency more than $35,000,000, or in other words reckoned in currency, about $2,500,000 per month increase of interest on debt, and $0,000,000 per month loss in cash on hand, and this on the average for the last seven months. ' Grant draws $22,000 a year, and pays no tax. He is a useful citizen.- He is opposed to the greenback dodge; wants to bo paid in gold.

At that time the people were induced to hope for peace and a re turn to practical government. But since then the public debt ha increasedthe Government has borrowed eight hundred million dollars, and raised by taxation up on the country the further sum of fifteen hundred million!
