I do not think that "Tho Statis tics" have arrived at nerfeetion wet hw any means, and I am eqaally certain that , good tempered and intelligent criticism will improve them. . Among other things you compare the estimates of land noder coltivation in Yamhill and Lion coun- lics and express the opinion; that such estimates do more than justice to the for mer an 1 less to the latter. A yon state, I prepared the article en Yamhill, but I may say here, that il was5ne i o great haste and withoot , any idea en i my part, f its being , put to any permanent use. Your rjtinioni may be correctbut I am inclined to think that "the Statistics" of Yamhill, to far as they go, are not far from the mark. . , - i : Inking the ;. Land Office map, dated July 20, ; 18CG, as : a guide Yamhill extends about four townships north and south, and about five town ships cast and west, or 24 by 30 miles. This gives i the county , an area of 720 square miles . or 400,800 acres. J' Of this area, the map shows that 14! townships tro Karrejea which is equal to )U4 square milea, or S22,iC0 acres, or a little more than five-sixths of the whole' conn- ty. 'From personal knowledge I can af firm that these 14 townships are in the main, if not altogether, first-rate tillable land i As to whetherene-third of it, or in round numbers 100,000 acres is under cultivation, that is at present so much a matter of 'opinion that I1 cannot assert Jt uoqualificdlv. 5 But I think so, and thts is';pnd of tho calculations upon which this' conclusion is based. The population being mostly ' rural and permanent, I think it reasonable to assume that of its 1200 voters in 18G8, at least 800 of thsa wero: faimers,- and that their farms would average r 300 acres each. This would give a total of 240,000 acres. The average land under cultivation on these farms is between 100 and 160 acres -one-third or one-half. The former ratio would give 80,000 acres and the latter 120,000 By -being under cultivation I mean land in tame grass - as well as grain and : tho like, buto not. iivcludo land merely fenced and in wild grass : fl ..-.-And. now..- a word m to Linn couaty. Proni ' the mip already mentioned Lisa appears, to, , be about eight townships ia extent north and south and about II townships, in extent east aid west, or 48 by 66 1 miles. ; This gives 'a total area o 3f,163 square milcsj or 2)2T,520 acres ,0f tnis arca,vas appears from such map 24-townships were surTcycd, which is equal ! to: 864 square miles or 552,960 acres! ! jThua the suereyed land bf Liar appears, to be equal to a littlo - more,, uuu'iuuriu u' jw wmviw- v-, . ,llie - mar of YamhUHaiequaLto five-sixths? of lu IV..tV kit ila nhn . .!!. - . , . iBut' the map"8howft: thatd.o' townships; equalj :0 jqtt.ttf;miris-OT;r8? acres,, was projpos ed for auryejjihia c. s townships,, is not first-elsert owoutd have been settled and surveyed kag prior to July, 1860.- 'Yeadd, tKeW to .24; township .surveyed , befCirW tat time, and the two will incinde all t Ul- Isbfe ' land1 :bf Linrj,' and probably more.

Linn runs to the i summit of the CJas-, " cade' mountains, and therefore "includes tbe whole westefn slope of this range, J including one large spur. On his ac count the area if so much larger than the ' tillable land. Yamhill also runs to the summit' of a range .of moua tains -but it is corcparatiTely a inaall one and io the southern part of the county, where the 1, range, is only by the South yamhiH riycr. The surveyed land extends to the western ' r boundary. In making these estimates,' if should be remembered, . that while the East side of the Wallamet being the water-shed of the greater range of moun tains is larger than the western that the latter has less waste land in nronor- tion to its area and is generally of a bet ter quality; and to to part of tbe West Side is this remark more justly applicable than to Yamhill.

After a long discussion the resolution refusing to re ceive Miss Anthony's credentials was agreed to, 63 to 28. Much indignation was felt by Miss Anthony s mends at her expulsion. Belcgatcs from western New lork offered a resolution favoring amend ments to the Federal and all other consti tutions preventing any act by any legis lative body becoming a law until it is sab-. milted to the dcodJc for ratification, and - openly approved by the majority voting. A committee was appointed to investigate tbe charges in Pennsylvania tathis Ceo- vention. A delegate from the New York Typographical Union read a dispatch di- . rectmg him to withdraw Iron the Con vention if Miss Anthony is adnitted. Fending ia discussion whether delegate " shall be returned, the Convention took a recess.'.-; ; .- :, : ' Arrest mS Cen. Diz. -;, . New York, Aug. 18. Gea.
