IS TO DE CAKRIED.
Tho Bepublicans will carry our next
State Legislature if any meant can ac
complish it. That they will not suc
ceed is by no means certain. Five
rioro States are necessary to .secure
iio adoption of tho 15th amendment,
and the fate of that amendment may
y 3t bo decided by Oregon. A United
States Senator to succeed "Williams is
to bo elected. Tho efforts to forco up
on the Stato a radical Legislature vrill
ba commensurate with the importance
of the questions it is to determine.
Our opponents aro rich in money and
unscrupulous in means. The bond
holders aro in their interests ; they
o.vn the National Banks and have the
di3posalofthefederalpatrorage. Itwas
Senator Corbett who moved, in a Con-grcssional-Bepublican
caucus, pricr
to tho last presidential election, tho
levying of a large election fund. It
was Senator "Williams who quito re
cently demonstrated tho willingness
of the administration to interfere in
our Stato election by procuring a re
vocal of the order (though one of the
originators and urgent supporters of j
it in its origin) assigning military men
to the Indian service, so lar as it ap
plied to those officers who wero in
dcubtful counties and who wero sup
posed to be good instruments for elec
ticn purposes. This Senator, after
failing, with the help of his colleague, to
procure a revocal of the order by tele
graph, went, himself and .wife, to
"Washington and put the question of
success wholly upon the retention of
Simpson, Lafollette" and Meachem.
This is significant. Tho part that
these men have heretofore token in
elections serves as an index of what
they will do hereafter. In Benton
county, for example, where the Siletz
Agency is located, Agent Simpson, a
resident of Salem, has alwavs taken
the part of Chief Manager, assisted by
Bailey, and has succeeded beyond
question in keeping the county under
radical control. Last year, the Demo
cratic candidates having foolishly con
sented to forego a canvass, the most
sh.vneful and indecent practices and
stratagems were resorted to in the Ta
quina District, which was an isolated
one. Government emrjlovea were
voted, in violation of tho ConstitutiDn
of the State, one Indian half-breed,
Goiner by name, was brought from
the Alsea sub-agency to Oysterville, a
distance of forty miles and voted for
the Republican candidates. Six Dem
ocrats were employed, under authori
ty from the Indian Department, to go
down the coast for the pretended pur
pose of getting Indians, and although
suspecting the strategem, yet such was
their dependence upon the agency fcr
employment that they consented to go
and as a consequence were cheated out
of their votes. An affidavit of one of
that parry shows upon what a false
pretence the expedition was made. Of
course the expense of keeping these
six votes from being cast was duly
paid by the Government.
In the coming election operations
will be carried on upon a more gigan
tic scale. "We shall not be disappointed
if before that time that delightful
country surrounding Siletz -where hu
man life can not continue without gov
ernment rations, bears an extensive
crop of inhabitants and voters. There
i3 no practice too indecent, no act too
illegal, no fraud too shameful to be re
sorted to in Oysterville precinct. The
managers canvass carefully, find out
how many votes are wanted in the
county, and send the result to Oyster
ville, and ' Oysterville does the rest;
That place is a blotch upon Benton
county and a standing - fraud upon the
people, of Oregon. See what it will
do next year !
In the month of My, 1868. F. Dodjrs tired me
to go dosrn the eua,t after Indian. (Dodge id
be was acting for Ben. Simpson, Ind. Ag't at Si

Indians. ' Dodge and one man went to Coal hanks
after Ind Laos ; ?6th, ali bands returned to Empire
City. .We didn't get Indians. Dodge got two
old squaw ;.t bey were placed in an untenanted
house, without a guard ; 3 1ft, 5 qaaws missing ;
no effort made to retake them. . Came to Umpqua
to-day ; found three men and four squaws on tbe
way; breHght them to Umpqua; tbey were left
in an untenanted house without guard. 1st. Jane,'
1868, Indians missing ; no effort made to retake
them. Came to Cape Perpetua to-dayj 2d June,
1858, cauae to Alsea Sub Indian Agency ; 3rd
Jane, caioe to Taquina. All of our party, ex
cept Dodge,, are Democrats to my certain knowl
edge. It was generally believed and freely d'uu
eussed amongst our party, tbat the object of hir
ing us to go after, Indians was wncrely a trick to
gbt us aws y from home on Election day.

) The Tribune, whoso philanthropy is
exclusively devoted to the man from
Africa, is alarmed at; the new labor
movement on foot in the South. It
realizes the gravity that that movement
has for the negro population ; ' that it
will crowd it into the cotton and sugar
fields or make it more into new locali
ties. Wherefore the Iribune says of
tho' Southern labor movement : v
No part of these treatise Modi ui to allow as
Immigration of penoae bound to eerrice and la
bor under conditions which virtually establish a
sjsttm of Slavery. Tbe whole policy of oar gov
eminent ie against it ; and notbing eonld be more
ielmtcal to the permanent welt-being of tbe coun
try, We feel satisfied that Congreis aod tbe Ki-
ecutire will unite U prevent this great wrong from
leing commuted.
That looks quite . positive. ' Never
theless it is a boot for only one leg.
In this Pacific country ther is no ne
gro people, hence that perpetual stream
of philanthropy which finds one of its
sources in the Tribune does not How
hithcrward. A convenient escape from
tho act of 1SG2, so far as it relates to
the Western slope, is found. That
which is called "the Coolie trade"; in
the South is only "Chinese Immigra
tion" out here. That which Congress
is called upon to prevent, as a great
wrong, in tho South, is declared to pos
sess "great and manifold advantages'
in California and Oregon. And where
foro the difference?
Is tho status of the 30,000 or 40,
000 Chinese lately employed upon the
C. P. Railroad different from that of
the 30,000 or 40,000 proposed for em
ployment in Georgia? Certainly not
xne easi-siae railroad has no more
business relations with each of the
three or four hundred Chinamen that
it employs than it has with the horses
hitched to its dump carts. It contracts
with agents. So does the Burnt River
Ditch Company, as tho recent transac
tions between that Company and
Messrs. Tong Duck Chung & Co. suf
ficiently show. As to manner, meth
od, terms, results, etc., there is not i
perceptible difference between the ar
rangement by which the cotton g.ower
gets his Asiatic employes and, that by
which Mr. Holladay gets his railroad
graders. The emminent services of
such individuals as tho renowned
Koopmanscbap and Messrs. Tong
Duck Chung & Co. are called into req
uisition in both cases.
Tho distinction which the Tribune
seeks to enforce is, that the Chineso
emigrant comes from Hong Kong
while the Coolie laborer comes from
Macao. The distinction is simply ab
surd, and the more so since it comes
from a source where we have a right
to expect candid, at least intelligent
argument.
This mania for mongrelizing the
American nation is one of the marvels
of the age. Tkgre is enough to chal
lenge wonder when men trample on
the ties of nationality, religion and
race ; but why they should become
imbued with a sentiment of entire de
votion for the lowest grades of human
ity and for them alone ; why they
should devote solely to them, their
press, their pulpits, their ballots ; why
they should pile high upon these hea
then altars all of the blessings of dear
ly bought and long cherished institu
tions is a most difficult and perplexing
question. The philosophers who come
to live in a cooler period may regard
this unreasoning conduct as one of the
most remarkable phenomenon of all
times. . Madness sometimes ' has a
method, but if this has a method,
where is it, and if this Radicalism be
not madness, what is it?
NoTwrrnsTAXDnfcj the . capital made
out of Grant's refusal to support his
brother-in-law for Governor of Mis
sissippi, he seems to still "hanker" af
ter his "folks" and is only restrained
from espousing Dent's cause by. the
wholesome influence of his managers.
He is simply halting between his do
sires and his fears. In a long private
letter to Dent, recently written and the
following extract from, which was pub
lished in the Oregonian of 4recent date,
he said: , f
"I have said, and I now repeat it. , that if tho
Conservatives are to win, I would prefer your
election to that of any other person , likely to be
elected, but as matters now look it seems tbat tbe
weight of my influence ihould be given to the
other party. I earnestly hope, however, that. be.
fore the election, concessions will be made on both
ejdci , so at to unite all friendi of the reconstruc
tion movement." .
Orator Purr. The Oregonian like
Orator Puff, has two tones to its voice.
Its issue of the 22nd inst., contains on
its second page an article with quota
tions from English papers to prove
that Chinese immigration is just the
thing, and asking ? 'intelligent people
of all classes": to, so decide. : On the
third page of the same issue, it quotes
from' the Yreka Journal , that a law' of
Congress passed in . 1862, peremptory
ally prohibits Chinese importation, and
that Secretary Boutwell has issued an
order to. enforce that law - to tho Col
lector at New Orleans, and that "the
Republicans don't like a Chinaxlan
any more than the Democrats.?,-;

XADOR MOVING.
Tho movements taking place among
working men all over tho country aro
significant. Nothing can say so plain
ly that "tho times are out of joint" as
the prevailing "strikes" and labor con
ventions and congresses. Movements
of this character are not apt to take
place except from the most grievous
necessity. , ' Laboring men aro not liko-
ly to devote themselves to tho serious
consideration of political questions.
independent of . party, and to create
conventions for the discussion of
finance and tariff. It must be some
unusual consideration that induces
them to takt these matters out of tho
hands of the politicians. When, through
misgovsrnment, such V state of
things arises that whole classes, as is
now the case in many largt cities", can
not make a decent living upon the
wages they earn, there will be such an
influence exerted in politics as is not
often felt. Prime necessity is
powerful reasoner. The man who
withstands the most incontestable ar
gument must succumb to the logic of
hunger and cold. The laborer in New
York City has his admiration for
high protective tariff considerably les
sened, when he finds that he must give
$10 per ton for the coal with which to
warm, his house instead of $5 50, and
that he does so for the purpose of giv
ing the coal monopolists a bonus of a
few millions. And what is true
of coal is true of nearly all of the in
dispensable articles of home use which
are enumerated among the 4,000 in the
revenue laws.
a . a
And we presume that many men
who now approve and enjoy the spe
cious logic of newspapeis like the Ore-
gonian will become impressed with quite
different ideas when they find that they
must work ten hours for 50 cents in
stead of $2,00. merely because Chi
nese labor is offering everywhere and
is everywhere being employed at that
figure. To find our wages thus les
sened and the purchasincr power of
money not increased and the demands
of the stomach and body not decreased
is apt ' to make quite easy what now
seem difficult propositions to some. To
hear an argumenLand to fed and tuffer
it are marvellously different.
We are glad , that the laboring men
are moving and that they seem deter
mined to arrive at definite results.
The Convention recently held in Phila
delphia closed a protracted session
on the 21st inst. in the adoption of m
platform that will be read with interest,
the telegraphic report of which is
hereto appended:
Philadelphia, Aug. 21. -The Labor
Congre hat adopted a' platform, of
which tho following ie a -joopeis: All
political power are inhercot in the peo
ple of a free Government, founded oo
their anihority and established for their
benefit ; that laborers in all departments
of useful industry sre suffering from the
systems of monetary laws, which werw en
acted during the late war, as raeaurcs
aMumed to be neeesarj to the life of the
nation, and which are now sought to be
perpetuated in the interest of the bond
holders and bankers, to subvert the Gov
eroroentour fathers established or raise
an empire in which all political power
will be centralized, to restrain and oppress
the rights of Labor and subordinate its
voters to the merciless demands of aggre
gated capita! acd supereillious authority;
that the National banking system has
been inimical to the spirit of liberty and
subversive ct the principles of justice,
without warrant in the Constitution of
the United States, and wrongfully in
creasing the burdens of the wealth pro
ducing classes millions of dollars annu
ally ; justice, the aspirations of honest in
dostry and the spirit of tmperrilled liber
tj, demand the immediate repeal of the
substitution of legal tender notes as ex
clusively the currency of the nation ; that
the National Labor Union is opposed to
the continuation of creating banks by
sets of incorporation, either by State or
National authority, with the privilege of
putting in circulation any bills or papers
of the bank to circulate as money, except
legal tender notes, that the revenue laws
should be altered, so that instead of the
subordination of labor to capital, they
may in some way afford just protection
to the labor and the industrial interests
of the whole country ; that legal tender
money should bo made a legal tender for
the payment of all debts, public or pri
vate, and convertible at the option of the
holder into Government bonds, bearing
interest at the rate of three per cent.,
with the privilege to reconvert tho bonds
into mooey or money into bonds at pleas
ure; that the claim of the bondholders,
that bonds , bought with . greenbacks, the
principal of .which by law is payable; in
currency, should nevertheless be paid in
gold, is unjust extortion; that , tbe ex
emption from tax on bonds as securities,
is in violation of the principles of the
revenue laws. ' The resolutions denounce
land monopolies, declare in favor of es
tablishing an extra - department, called
the 44 Department of Labor,", for tho pro
tection of the labor interests, an above
all others, recommend, the adoption of
incisures to, secure the eight hour ays
tem; call upon al State. Legislatures to
follow, the example of Congress, recognis
ing eight1 hours as a Jegal day's work;

political rights of every American citizen,

LINN AND YAniHIiX. COUNTIES
J!
Upon the first page of to-day's issue
there is an excellent article upon tho
iiiAiyv s(isva a iussissi ca .swama
Counties." written by Judire Dcady.
Ilia article is occasioned bv our criti-l
$ r.,i qi t- ho.a-r
v.ovw-jw uvu w.v
Report. , ; ?
The writer agrees that the Report
places Linn county tinder the mark

but thinks that it did Yamhill no more
than justice. . We are quito willing to
admit all that is , claimed for Yamhill
county; though we still think that
one-third is to great a proportion to
claim generally of the whole occupied
area as land in actual cultivation. Of
course having opportunities for oDser-
vauon, j uafre xeaay is most uiteiy cor-
rect in reference to Yamhill. Our
rect in reiercnco w iwu. uur
conclusions were derived from compar-
xsons between the counties, as they ftp-
.

4-l!l - 1.11 1L.1 i
were right in conciuoing that no such
urn ere nee exuiea as ue ugures t
and 1-3 indicate.
These statistics show that' while I
Yamhill has 222,500 acres of surveyed
land. Linn has 552,900 acres. Inthis,
322,5C0 acres of the latter county ere
excluded from
computauon uccauso i
only recently proposed for survey and
are therefore not presumed to be first
class. Nevertheless it is but fair to
consider that ft largo part of this ex
tent the whole of which equals all
that is surveyed of Yamhill is tills-
k tsi.a . am mm sv mt m
ble. and that the Ddz.VGU acres are a
great deal below the mark.
If we presume one-third of this til-
lable area to be in cultivaUon. the
same as Yamhill, it will give us 181,-
320 acres instead of tho 100,000 given
by tho Report. Or taking our 2,300
voters !and presuming: two-thirds
of them (1,533) to bo farmers with
farms averaging uvu acres each, we
would have a total of 459,000 acres
and presuming one-third or one-half
of these farms to be uuder cultivation,
we get for the former ratio 153,300
and for the latter 229,950 acres ; and
wo know of no reason why the same
rule that is applied in this case to
Yamhill should not be applied to Linn
county. .
The letter referred to is one of more
than ordinary interest. The facts con
tained in it are valuable additions to
the history of the resources of the
State. .

Hvolakd taxes less than twenty arti- i
cles to obtain her $110,000,000, and
the most of it comes from the luxuries,
tea, coffee, sugar, cocoa, wine, spirits
and tobacco. Our government derives
almost half of its immense revenue
from about five or six of these articles,
so that for the sake of getting the other
half $75,000,000 ft tariff is levied
upon nearly four thousand articles.
"The Evening Post estimates the value
of these four thousand articles, in our
markets,' at $1,000,000,000 a year; our
tariff on them amounts, then, to ten
per cent, on their market value, and
yet it enhances their price anywhere
from ten to' a hundred.. per cent ; the
average increase being probably forty
per cent. That is to say, of this price
of $1,000,000,000, : some $700,000,000
is the actual cost of the four articles,
less than $100,000,000 goes to .the

to make a tour oft 1155,000,U0U, an
amount equal to Secretary Bout well's es

fiscal year. The plan is to confino the
income tax to the tax on iatercst paid on
the national debt, five per cent, to be de

will realise $6,255,000 without a dollar
of expense incurred in collecting.? The
balance it is proposed to raise by, taxing
incomes derived from surplus; property
embraced in stocks, banks, railways and
other incorporations," and interest paid on
the bonds of such corporations.
