Newspaper Page Textmm SATURDAY AUGUST 21, 1S69. XEW YOLtME. The DEroCn.vT rVginsits filth year to-dav. Recent additions have been made to the office, in job and newspa per material, and tho greater part of the reading matter in to-day's issue is printed vtpon new type. Tho Demo crat is ono of the institutions of this young city, and of this growing and prosperous county and State, and its publishers consider it a duty to keep pace in its improvement with tho peo ple by whom it is surrounded. AVe do not hesitate to invite a comparison with any other paper in-the State. "We enter upon tho new volume un der good auspices. "Within tho threo months past, our list has been increas ing at a rate that is a gratifying evi dence of public approval and of future prosperity. We are in such constant re ceipt of orders for back numbers that we have so far been unablo to fill many of them, but have adopted such measures as will enablo us to supply all orders dating from to-dar. It is our aim to devote the Democrat to the development of tho material in terests of Albany and Lann count v. And to this end wo shall discuss plans for public improvement, our resources and wants, together with statistics and other valuable data from time to time. "We shall thus render the paper useful to those desiring information of the country and make it aimlliary to its future development. , No paper is more generally sought after in political circles in tho State. TVe are bold to say that this is owing to the fact that no paper has discussed matters pertaining to our State admin istration or the abuses thereof, with the freedom the Democrat has. In il lustration of this, it is only necessary to mention that no other paper in the State except the Jacksonville Xewx, which re-printed from us has yet pub lished an account of the malfeasance in office of a high State functionary, although such malfeasance engaged the attention of a Marion county Grand Jury, which only failed to find a bill upon technical groundsv The Democrat can afford to be independent. It does not owe its support to Cliques, Corporations or Commercial interests, but to the sturdy Democracy, princi Xally of Linn county, who have no interests that are not identical with those of the earnest and patriotic men of all the State. To use that hackneyed but indispen sable phrase, "now is the time to sub scribe." And with the beginning of this new rear we ask the confidence laid patronage of those who are in sympathy with the objects we have itated. The Jacksonville Sentinel is agitated over our paragraph asking the Port land quotations for State warrants and whether the warrants are gobbled up tt the Capitol or not. .The Sentinel fays the item is a "vile insinuation against the State Treasurer" &c., that the warrants are not depreciated "at all" but are at par ; that there is a man in Jacksonville who wants $10,000 worth at 92 and 95 cents. These warrants have been selling as low as C5 cents in considerable quan tities. Many of those received by the State Printer were disposed of at that figure to enable him to pay his em ployes, and thus the man who worked for the State lost 35 cents upon the dollar of much of his pay, through the perfidy and rascality, or the cowardice of the Republican members of the Leg islature. And further, it can be shown that the money, or a portion of it, with which the State printer's warrants were bought those above referred to was obtained of Sir. Cooke, who is State Treasurer. McPhefson would have been glad to know before selling his warrants that they were at par and would have been equally glad to have formed tie ac quaintance of that Jacksonville man " ho wants $10,000 of warrants, worth 100 cents for 92 to theMlecri Tiy referring to theUjegraph it will be seen that General Canby proposes to convene the Virginia Legislature in about ten days, when he wUl apply the iron-clad oath to tha mpmliPrti''' V' of those who cannot take the oath wih be refused their seats, which will be , . , , , given to the candidates who were de- feated. Gen. Canby thus proposes to nullify the recent election and to proceed to the election or selection of a Legisla ture himself. The immediate result cf this base usurpation is the election cf two Radical Senators. But even ibis is an inconsiderable advantage, compared to what the Radical party Till lose by the operation. . The World eiys that the Republican papers with snse enough to come in out of the riin are sorely troubled about it, satis fied that Canby's course will make ev ery man wlio voted for Walker a Dem 03ratwill convert that overwhelming Conservative majority into ; a Demo cratic majority, and that Canby is play ing for tne present to lose the future. V ents- iuuowiifeiirisafjMaai SHALL U'E 1II.M OUXtSELVES? Tho early completion of the railroad through this valley suggests a few questions to tho consideration of our business men. A railroad is very? de sirable, and yet if all of tho Oregon towns depend wholly upon the railroad for business, many of them may Buffer no little disappointment. A road will bring our merchants into competition with Portland mer chants, and it will take largo quan tities of tho produce- that now comes to Albany and are exchanged for mer chandise, to market by a moro direct routo. Much of tho wheat that is now brought 10 and 20 miles to bo stored, and ground or shipped, will bo taken to depots that havo the advantage of being near to tho produccer; and what is true of. wheat is also true of other produce. Albany ought to becomo a manufac turer. Such a business can not fail. The cities whoso prosperity is based upon manufacturing interests are built upon a rock. It is estimated that this county purchased last year 1100,000 worth of machinery for farming pur poses, and this will be exceeded by ex penditures in this and each succeeding year. Now why could not Albany inako this machinery ? Suppose some enterprising man or association of men shall expend $30,000 an insignificant sum compared with the magnitudo of the enterprise in erecting machine shops this will keep within Linn countv and the State a very large and constantly increasing sum of money. The immense revenue derived to east ern manufacturers may a well as not be saved to our own citizens. The cost of transportation and the commis sion of the Portland Importers is an othei considerable item. Our fanners muat havo machinery. Thev would much prefer to buy it near home, to patronize- home industry and assist in building up their own State. Albany is situated in the heart of Oregon. From the dome of its Court House a half million acres of the most productive land in the world can Ik? seen lying in a Ixxly, with majestic mountains upon one side and a beau tiful river upon the other. In perhaps a few months a railroad will be completed through the center of this magnificent landscape, on a line as straight as an arrow for forty miles. This will be followed by a greatly increased popula tion and a greatly increased demand for such manufactured articles as we are now importing. Salem, Oregon City and Portland are all turning at tention to thee interests; why hhall not we do the same thing ? To con tinue our illustration, the manufacture of farminir machinery will, in addi" tion to its other advantages, bring a large number of artisans in our mid.it, and thus make valuable additions to our population. Let us bring a con siderable part of the South Satitiam river to Albany. Let us invite enter prise hero and assist in an earnest way to lay the foundation for a substantial prosperity. We are already manu facturing soaps and lard oil ; patron ize and encourage that enterprise. "We should make our wooden buckets, brooms, and above all our Reapers, Headers and Threshers. RADICAL STUPIDITY.' Instead of insisting that the coolies are the most desirable and necessary addition that can be made to the pop ulation of the Pacific coast, the Rad ical papers here had better take a les son or two from such papers as Harper Weekly, which, in its issue of Aug. 14, says: "America lias an endless wel come for the industrious laborer who comes hither to secure larger opportu nities for himself and his children, but no country welcomes an inundation of foreign barbarism. It is not the number of a rpulation but its quality that makes a great na tion; nor do abundant labor and cheap wages announce an imminent millen nium." The Corvallis Gazette construes what was said in the Democrat about . the coming story, writer (and which con cluded wTith a recommendation to Kane's Imperial Soap) into "a sneer ing and supercillious attack upon the author of the story, upon the editor of the Gazette and upon temperance." He not charge an attempt to under- v K lfvernment or barbarously mirtreat Chinamen, -A..... , . , ,A ' , xauuiiuug ma ion,y siyie, we say mat "we do not hold ourselves responsible for the verbiage" of advertisers. But if Bro. Carter will address his griev ance to "A. J. Kane, Imperial Soap Company; Portland," we guarantee the fullest redress, together with perhaps some remuneration for the gratuitous advertisement he has given them in re-printing our offending paragraph in his paper. : - ' The San Francisco : Chronicle says (t on the forthcoming new issue of greenbacks, engravings ' of no living heads will be allowed." They will probably be all dead-head ' engravings of the members of excursion 'parties over the Pacific- Railroad and "sich Jikc"Jppeal . : . . . - r iMitucniATiox committee; The peoplo of Portland havo organ ized an Immigration Committeo for tho purposo of : promoting: tho immi gration of settlers to tho State, , Sa lem has organized a Committee to co operate with Portland. Should not Albany do tho samo thing ? ' Although these committees aro not intended to bo local in their influencoi yot we can hardly.expect thorn to represent equal ly all parts of tho Stato if all parta of tho Stato do not co-opcrato with them in their efforts. Such would bo.: nei ther just nor possible. There is no ono so capable of collecting and fur nishing tho hecossary information con cerning the character and resources of tho count' as some of thd livo citizens of tho county. , 4, Let us have a meeting and a commit tee. Linn county needs immigrants needs advertising to procuro them. And now let m go about it. An: old adage pays that 'lie; who, causes two blades of grass to grow whero only one grew before is a public .benefactor. Let every man constitute himself a benefactor and go to work to induco immigration and increase and multiply bur product. Tho Immigration Com mittee offers tho only feasiblo method to do these things. Therefore let us meet organize and, go actively, ear nestly and immediately to work. BmisMNa to Sm.vut. Tho Repub lican papers in Oregon insisted that there was no Republican defeat in Vir ginia and Tennessee only a little family difference about men, that amounted to just nothing at all. And then they very logically naid : "why, only imagine Pearno and Brownlow working for a Democratic victory." However, they aro just beginning to realize the situation and to hop about in the most lively manner. Notice this from the Qrtyjvmah ; "Tlic HtpuUkan paper in t!, Kat wLUh le r!r'i Uf'f the election Jo Tctinerfee (but it di.lu'l tnako a particle of difference whether loke or Center was elected, arc now al! to w their mUtake.

Douthit, of the Agricultural College Commis on, informs us that the Commissioner have located CO.000 acres of the Col lege land 30,000 acres yet remain to bo located. Mr. Douthit start1 next week to Ochoco to examine that coun try, and if thought advisable, to locate the remainder there. Mr. D. is favorably iraproed with the country visited and thinks that fcome of it is very superior for stock growing purposes. Thi includes por tions of Goose Lake and Cliawachien vallies, tho latter of which k forty miles North of Goose Lake, has a mild er climate and will contain a hundred settlers. It is however not yet safe from Indian depredations. Tuk Tribune is becoming anxious about the 15th Amendment Five more States are needed. It claims that if tho Radicals had not attempted disfranchisement in the South the rati fication of Virginia, Georgia, Missis sipi and Texas would have been given ; that those States "stand ready to give their assent unless repulsed by those who ought to welcome and facilitate their co-operation in tho needful work," and concludes 1 y saying : "And now if that amendment nhould fail, when its ratification was so clearly within reach of its friends, there' ahall rest somewhere & fearful responsibility."

'-.. the cnitf a nuiVsTiori THE EAST. Tho Radicals in Oregon aro persist ently quoting .from tho eastern press in favor of Chineso Immigration and 'labor on the Pacific. 'Laswoek we gave a quotation from tho Enquirer, showing how that paper had been mis represented. To-day we quoto Homo scathing utrictures upon California Jtadicals irom tho New York Herald, from wh'icli it will bo ween that tho Herald, too, has been egregiously mis represented, . and that, like a sensible and well-informed journal, it clearly foresees the disastrous results that aro to come from tho introduction of a Ce lestial population i , , " The homely old adage that "Cblcfcctif coma home to rooit," wben applied to thine who meet with punUbinenl or einbarroidinent a. tlw witw quence of their own act, if verified in the cae of the nlgger-worihlpplng radical of Califwrnla.

The Siamese Trios arc fairly eclipsed by a new novelty that has been introduced to the public. Thil immense curiosity at tended the great Jubilee at Boston, or rather was a side aUractton to that great event, and is thus described by the Boston Pott: . This most remarkable human being, as above quoted from the handbill, is Miss Christine Millie, a voun lady ol African color and lineament, who hods levees at the Mclodcon. We say she, for brevity: fur there are two of her in most respects two heads, necks, busts, two pair of arms, shoulders and legs, and but one waist. As the exhibitor aavs in the brief address which he delivers thrice hourly, you may call her .c or they, but he has always called her the wonderful two-beaded girl, and thinks he shall ever do n. Miss Christine Millie is evidently ofpure negTO blood, her skin dark, her hps thick and protruding, her noses broad and foreheads low. Yet there is ao intelligent cast to her counteuanco which would have led to classification as a smart negro on the auc tion block f her North Carolina home ten years ago. Indeed, it is said that in the "balmy davs of .her childhood and slavery. 680,000 was the price: but this was her valuation as a rare specimen of deformity, rather than heriotrinsic worth. She is of short stature, one of her being somewhat shorter than the other, though the difference is hardly noticeable. Her arms are long, as arc also her hands, her fingers possessing that slender formation and those little movements which seem to indicate an aptitude far manipulating cur rency. Iicr hair is gloasy, suggestively so, and though comparatively straight where it escapes from the gorgeous coronets of black velvet aod jewels which encircle her heads, falls about her shoulders in close rinirlcts. Whica head answers to Christine and which t) Millie, is not as certainable, although there is a difference in the faces. One is blight, laughing, and always wearing a pleastat expression j the other settles, when at rest, into a look of morose and sullen discontent. The hap py face m 1U her photographs, tho other dispenses biographies. - Both sets of nim ble fingers take the money,. and the long arms make change for each other, across the common waist. Millie's' side giving Christine's five half-dimes for a scrip quartcr,and Christine's half returning the fivo without grumbling the ucxt minute. Christine Millie's two selves are joined to gether at the lower partof the spine, back to back; (mo set of organs supplying tho lower part of the body, upon which two perfect chest organizations rest. They chat lively enough with two different per sons at the same time; they-evidently think of different matters, and only in stooping, sitting down or walking, when one proceeds backwards or sideways, does their uncomfortable unity appear.
