eke SATUilDAY SEPTEMBER .18, 18C0. IS THIS THE MAX WE WANT? ' Senator "Williams is using nil of his energies, personal and pecuniary, to secure a re-election. Judged by the sample of Legislative conduct ho ha3 given us in rcferenco to Indian affairs, ho is not fit to represent Oregon. Even the mass of the-radical party represented, by, such papers as tho Orcgonian and 'Unionist set verely de nounce tho policy that "Williams has been an assistant in adopting and to "which ho is entirely committed. But more than this Mr, "Williams' conduct since, tho inauguration cf Mr.' Grant's Indian policy is not explainable upon any hypothesis consistent with tho dig nity of r- Senator or tho honor of a private citkeii. Mr. Nesniith and Mr. "Williams were tho principals in the debate that took place in tho Senate upon the question of transferring tho Indians to the charge of the Military Department, tho former opposing and tho latter supporting tho measure. Now if Mr. "Williams' constituents and thoso who are asked to vote for his friends in tho election of members of the Assembly will turn to tho Globe for 1S01MJ7, they will find some things that aro worth knowing to those who have an idea of helping him to a re-election. "We submit portions of what he said as showing that judgment is not tho only requisite wanting in this gentleman who wears a senatorial toga. Our extracts begin on page 1G7G of the Globe for the years 1SGG and G7. But I do not wbh that M thi. timo a judgment of tho Senate should be1 rtxiounccil again?! the proposition t transfer the Indian Iiarv.au tu the War Lqiartinent, fr I am mi tu tied that it will Ihj of gnat cJranta-o la the ciiuotrv. nl that that fact can be uimlo to ajjrar.' 'I bare lived from taj lnjLi.ol to this time in Western States and Territories, where I have bad an opportunity to see the working of the reicnt jteui, and Iain couvincrd that the ililitarv lJepartment ouht to hare the charge of Indian ASsirs." e "It seems to me that the advantage of turning over tie Indian Lnrcau t the War Department are msnifet. In the frit place Lnote it i' the -rut i Oregon whererer thero u a rcrratiou.

" Mb. Neitii. l'encit me to correct my col league. There are fire reservation in Oregon and eit;fct in Washington Territory, and there are no soluien about any of theso rvserrations excvM cne. The whole administration b in the hands of fx: mer? and practical men ; thcro are no troops about them. Ma. Pomerot.

It is a fact '-reUknocn, and I hope my Cvllcans will .not eontmrert this assertion, that the In !ian Agents ia Ore -on, with hardly an exception, noon a salary of ; a year, manage in three or focr years to become im?jenc!y rich.

In. Ins reply Senator Xesniith took "Williara3 squarely to task for his mis statements in regard to Tndi.iT reser vations on this coast, accused him of never Jiaving visited them and of kno'ving nothing about them and said that "his-twenty-two military posts at each of the reservations had fizzled down to a telegraphic dispatch;" that so far as peculating upon government funds went, it was in the nature of thicg3 for military officers to do that same thing. - A 1. Il ' at Aiier xne au option oi tins sys tem it seems impossible that Judge Williams should hurry to Wash ington to procure its re vocal so far as it applied to a number of reservations in OrSgon. Yet he did so. , It was bad enough that he should assume aknowl edge about reservations that he did not possess; that he should suffer his venxity to be impeached, but it is worse that the Senator should stultify mm sen uy procuring a partial re vo cal of the order. If Judge Williams wa3 satisfied that "tha Military Department oucrht to i n.. i T-?- nave uiu cnarge oi xnaian anairs, as he stated in the speech quoted, why did Jio, and Iiqw, induce the Depart ment to reinstate Meachem, Lafollet and Simpson ? If , in the mutations of timo, his mind has undergone a change in respect of this question, then why did he not seek the retention of Barn- hart, Smith, Wilbur and other civil ians? In the first place, Judge Wil liam3 knew that these agents ("I knew it is the . case in Oregon," was l&i language) manage to amass large fortunes' out of the use of the public funK Are the men returned excep tiona to ike rule? Are Capt. John Smith .aad Bro Wilbur particularly objectionable to the first and para mount reason ntatec ? Are these the penjons whom the Se.iator ha"s b6cn watenmg o:rom ma, Doynooa t xne ac tual reasons ior Williams' courso are neitner creaitaoie to me oenator nor -to the man.. He wag actuated by private and wjiojly selfish considera tloris. He took ?the Superintendency oi Indian affairs in Oregon, and two I Agencies, out of the charge oi the men whom he eaid fught to have . charge and gave them to a class af men whom his lifetime experience satisfies him use the public funds to amass.fortunes irom and he did it in order to. carry two or three doubtful .counties! in the Legislature and secmre a re-election. Tho man who votes fof Sir. Williams, with theso facts staring him in tho face, puts no value upon integrity in office. He becomes an accessory at'tor tho fact to a transaction. that would disgrace- a Florida carpet-bagger. Ho has ,nei thcr interest in tho welfare of his Stato nor a decent regard for tho opinions of his fellows. And Mr. Williams wo think will find that ho has very much mistaken tho character of tho citizens of Oregon, that 4 'corruption hero wins not moro than honesty," that his at tempt to pack a Legislatuf c ia abor tive. Wo commend to him the exam ple of other distinguished- politicians , of the school to which ho belongs, and advise him to sell out his newspaper, abandon his colonization scheme for Folk and Benton counties, give up bin idea of carrying votes with Indian ap propriations, put up his greenback, pack his things, and, so soon as his sen atorial term expires, cmigrato to South Carolina or Alabama where reconstruc tion has opened a field for a display of his peculiar talents and tho exerciso of his disreputable practices. MTIM. THEY CONE. We have had Train and tho North Pacific Railroad party and tho Con- rtrressioual Committeo and Seward. Even Boots has melted away like a morning fog and left us vjuxxhtrmi, But, as if it rcallv never rains but pours, we scarcely looked upon the fiiding forms of these until one of Corbett's coaches dashed into our city, lecorntetl witu lour mtlo iia''s, verv ike those uod in advertising Drake's Plantation Bitters, and Waring Col fax's party. Tlie vutrtv was as osten tatious as that of a circus wagon and produced nearly as great a sensation. The visit was as brief as the party was brilliant. Colfax, .Dross ami Bowles hurried to tho top of the Court House, looked upon tho'beautiful land- scape, kucu as can bo seen from no other citv or town in Oregon, came down, shook hands with tho crowd, and, with a profusion of thanks and smiles from the Vice President, rot into their coach and weiit with a genu ine cheer from the ladies of the jmrty the onlv feminine huzzah that ever burst upon the denizens of Alban5. Complacent, happy, garrullous Colfax, r radiant jwith smiles and run ning over with speech, how shall -we esteem it less than an honor to listen to the pretty things ho has said to us about us and how can we rcirard it less than a duty, after this visit, to rUefor him for President? Mr. Bross is ono of the party. The recommendation that this gentleman possesses to popu lar recognition is the fact that he is in some pecuniary way connected with the Chicago Tribune. We do not know if that paper is at any pains to give the fact the same prominence that Mr. Bross does or not. He seems to be speci ally devoted to Mr. Colfax as a presiden tial candidate, and omits no opportu- nity in his public speeches to couple that gentleman's name with the office in short to blow Mr. Colfax's horn ? Four years ago these same gentleman visited Oregon. Then it was the same smiling Colfax trying to carry off tho presidential bone, and it was the same Mr. Bross speechifying to impromptu crowds about; "when my friend Mr. Colfax becomes President." Mr. Bowles, of tho Springfield Republican, is another gentleman who made one of the former party as he does one of the present. Mr. Bowles avoids speech making and writes interesting and val uable books of the country and peo ple whom he visits. How is This. The telegraph says that Mr. Sheridan Shook, a revenue official, has been arrested for some shortcoming in office. By this we know that 3Ir. Sheridan Shook is revenue official under Mr. Grant, and yet who was there bo active in securing the acquittal of Mr. Johnson by the Senate ? If we are not mistaken, Mr. Shook's name figured conspicuously in the report of thoso gentlemen who unearthed the secrets of the telegraph offices at Washington, and who made it appear to the entire satisfaction o. the impeachers that Shook, Woolery and others were the managers of a ring organized with a large capital and disbursing immense suma to sq-v cure acquittal. Now how is it that Grant selects Shook for an appointment ? And has he given Woolery anything, and, after Shook, why not?. AccoEDiNoto our Salem corresjDond ent; Governor Woods insisted that he and Sam. May should be permitted to entertain Mr. Seward and the Colfax party for tho city because they were the only two men in Salem who had houses fine enough for such purposes. Well, the public should not com plain that the reception by these gen tlemen in behalf of the city was , thus converted into a private affair. Per haps the houses they boast of and re ceive these guests in, come a little nearer being public property than any in the capital. v .. Bonner of the New York Ledger declares that he would not have pub lished Mrs. Stowe's article on Lord Byron for a million dollars. - WON'T NEK AI.IKU The Radicals in Oregon don't un derstand tho California election tho way Californians do. Tho Orrgonian thinks tho Republicans could have succeeded if they had madu an effort to do so ; that "there was nothing im pending which was deemed worth male iuy a strugglo for;" that it Is no trouble to tho Republican party to carry Cali fornia whenoTcr tho Inducement is forthcoming. A ' 'special effort" will always accomplish It &c. Tho Marysviilo JpjHml ono of tho ablest. Radical papcrtf in California don't tako wmh a hopeful view of tho matter's Hero Is what the ApiM'td says: Tho result of tic Median n the ftnte U itlmul ns wo feared It would be, "only n llltle more to." We have no disposition to ' nnologUv for tho IU.tilllonn lef;it In California. Tbe State Is unquestionably Democratic. In no erent, ns we now idalnl e, could tho Itemtblleani cnln tho Iillrttnre in 1B7I-2. Then-r.re, "U th lienrt-lnrulnit over nnhatched chid cn. were a waste of passion. Tha llepubll m r.iotli.n did not kni) their flnccrs out of the Am. unit tlir.fnrn flMt thcllt scorched. The result of tho election is a rerdict Ja 'nvor of a Prtinrt- ic Senator to sueeccd Cole, This picture of Radical prospects is entitled to all tho credibility of being taken hy an "artist on tho spot." Tho Jljx al looks tho question squarely in the face. And after all that is tjio better way. This continued humbtig gery calling things by every other name than tho right one ami declaring that what is, is not serves only a very temporary purpose. From the extract published below it will be seen that tho Apical is equally bold in advising a future course of con duct for its iir.rtv, namelv to foster feuds und urge a war of faction within the Democratic party. If this policy is adopted it requires only one thing o insure success tho cooperation of Democrats, which is not likely unlesis we presume tho Democratic party to lo an organization of fools and mal contents. o hope tho Jffl nml all else who tike this view will exer cise the fullest patience and tho most enduring philosophy, for they will wait a long time lx-foro seeing such criminal and coxisumatc follv as thev predict.

Justin Chcnoweth, of Clacka mas county, a long-time Republican and brother of Judge 'Chcnoweth of Benton count v. writes a Iciter to the SX Eidtrpriie in which lie declares his separation from tho Republican party and his determination to act with tho Democracy. Mr. Chcuoweth's letter is a sensible and diKpaisioiiate statement of objec tions to and against the Republican organization, and shows in its spiritJ and sulwtance that tho writer is not moved by reason of personal diai pointrncnt orresentment, but by such as become a candid and thinking man and citizen. His reasons for herald ing through the medium of a news paper a chango of party allegiance, is the hope of exerting somo influence on the minds of others and of induc ing them to do likewise. Tho writer says: "The worVin men of the nation, Iy coalition and ciMiKT;itin, can insure sucevs to either fic. and control its action while in power. Uovcrncd by this ide let us inquire which of theso parties as cow organized is actio tnoro favorable to us as a class. We will find tbo Kepiitdicau party is no -ouirocally committed to a dctn-iud fr cheap lattor, and nizh protection f r certain kinds of manufacture. It holds within its ranks the chief tnouopoli'ts of the country, and aids by it action tho centralization of wealth in their hands. On the other side we find the Democratic party in favor of tree-trade, or a tnriT for revenue pur poses only, nud advocating other ima.mrcs which tend to counteract tao domination of the capital. 1 let orcr the laboring clashes." There is the case, stated forcibly aud concisely, hy a man who cannot be ac cused of speaking as apa'tizan, for his sympathy and affiliation for years has been with the party denounced one who has b,ejch forced reluctlantly to seek new party associates as a pat riotic, duty. There aro hundreds of Working men in tho Republican rarty to whom these reasons appeal just as earnestly as they do to Mr. ,Cheno weth, and their highest patriotic duty requires them to do just as he has done. "The Republican party is une quivocally committed to a demand for cheap labor and high protection for certain kinds' of manufactures." No man can deny that platform. What working man will stand upon What man wants to cheapen his own wages? What man wants to increase the price of the ' articles of his own home use? . . U .. - - ;:';' , , " If you can find . such, Jie is and ought to be a Republican. The man' who doe3 not want to do this has no business in that party, and if ho is , there he should copy the example of Mr. Chenoweth and make haste quick ly to change his party relations. .

Johnson tolls mo that ho ha Hold tho Courier to Maj. Deny, Superb intendent of the Penitentiary. He docs not know whether Berry is going to run tho paper in tho interest of Williams or Boise for the Senate or for Maj. Berry for tho supcrintendoncy of tho Penitentiary. Tho Major has begun his campaign early. He can bo Mctn on the streets all hours of tho day, talking politics. Ho and tho Governor visit tho Penitentiary as often as oiieo a week, in a carriage got ten on account of the State. MOliB AWJVf THE 1U00Y Ub'SlMERfl, His .'Excellency rides a great deal lately, iu an elegant turnout, and in accused of having no privato account at any of tho livery stable. Ho thus spent two days last week delivering cards for his privato reception of Sew ard. Now kco if tho next Socrctary 'm report docs not show a warrant drawn alxmt this dato for f 12 for "Gover nor's visit to Penitentiary." The $00 item for one of theso visit, for which a warrant was drawn Dec. 7, 1807, is not too high when you con sider that tho visit was made via. Port land and tho Dalles. His Excellency ami family left tho carriage at Port land, visited the Dalles, returning to Portland, resumed the State equipage and reached Saltm after an absence of just ten days. Multiply the 10 davs by G the number of .dollars charged per day, and wo get the $r0 easily enough. And accordingly in the Secretary's rcjiort for 1HG8, page 42, we have a warrant in favor of Oli ver Wiswcli for fGO, for "Horse and carriage hire for Gov. Woods' visit to Pcn'ry." Since the Statute does not provide what route shall lie taken in these State visits to tho Penitentiary, of course there can Iks no hyal objection to the one via. Portland and the Dalles. THE SKWAKn KKCKITIOX. Tho citv invited Beward to visit the Caj)ital. The Governor insisted upon ujKJii lxring one of the managers of the reception of tho distinguished guest, which 1eing acceded to, he pro cured and distributed, among hi frinuh, cards which read: "Mrs. and Mr. Geo. L. Woods, at home Monday evening, Sept. 7th, 1M)." A portion of the city fathers who were upon the committee with the Governor did not receive these cards; neither did the llecordcr, who managed tho corres pondence and telegraphing for the citv. A number of prominent citizens were thus deprived of an opportunity to participate in a reception that was intended to be public. Among these were Mr. Gcer, County Clerk, and County Judge Peebles, who irately de a s m manucu explanations, ana were in- formed tluit their cards had been lost. Of course tho presumption U tltat tho eatables at the reception and all tho expenditures thereof, were borne as a public expense. Your correspondent hasn't any objections to Governor Woods holding receptions, but I don't care about being taxed to pay for them. THE COLFAX BECEITIOX. The indignant city fathers got even on His Excellency by omittinsr his name from the Committee appointed to receive Colfax. Having asked the City Itccorder why it was done, he was answered: "Because you converted the Seward reception, which was in tended to bo rmblic. into a nrivate 4 , thing." tho Governor insisted that ho and Sam. May were tho only ones w'no had privato houses fit to entertain tho distinguished guests. So Colfax was received at tho Wigwcm and the party was quartered on Woods, May and HolmaD-M and Mrs. Bowls falling to tho latter. THE CHINA QUESTION i Was discussed by and lctwecn Mrs. Bowles and her host. Mr. Holman - , having taken an anti-Chinese view of the case, Mrs. B. replied, that "wo of the Atlantic coast" prefer tho celestials fto tho low Irish." Holman, being anTrishman, had nothing to add. THE SPEECHES. That of Colfax wa.i an extract from Bomo old 4th of July oration. Bross Baid that ho and Colfax got capitalists to build tho Pacific Railroad; that Colfax was tho greatest man in tho world and was a better Vice President than could be found in the Demo cratic party (very severe.) He conclud ed with a few very unbecoming re marks about Gov. Whiteaker. ! ' IN GENERAL. - i A great many politicians have con gregated in Salem in attendance upon the Supreme Court. I am informed that most of them want to be Gover nor. And no wonder, since the no toriously impecunious "Woods of 18GC is able to report an income in 18G8 of $5,000 and reside in one of the only two houses in Salem fine enough to entertain Schuyler Colfax, and all on a salary of $1500 per annum. This prosperity is only equalled by that of Cook-e and McPatton, who have con jointly inherited from Jay Cook of Philadelphia enough financial ability, and that too from a great distance, to make $125,000 worth of brick houses, fine dwellings, farms, etc., etc., in C years, with only $800 per annuztL If tho national debt is to bo paid, it is easy to sco whero the next Secretary of the Treasury ought to como from. FULTON. n uss mi 1 1 ii i W1XKE8 AlIIti: lATI'D. sasaaBSBsssssl The telegraph says that tlia Cabinet piotests against tho appointment of Mr. Geo. Wilkes as- Minister to China, and that Wilkes, and Bigelow of the Now York Time nro tho principal can didates for the Chinese mission. Since the Cabinet is protesting, we know that Mr. President is desiring to appoint Wilkes, who is no other than tho ed itor of the Spirit of (lie Time, a sport- rtn t ing newspaper, iuw individual is a sport, drives fast horses, blackmails respectablo nicn, decides disputed point in tho laws of tho xrize rm$ and is indisputably high authority in s at - an questions oi gaming, now can Mr. President spare Mr. Wilkes so far from his presence ? And how can Mr. Wilkes tako his horses and his dogs, his wiito and his women on such a long and tedious voyage as tho Chinese mis sion involves? Had Mr. Grant only been Henry V, old Jack FalstafT would have been Lord Chief Justice. Fkkls it Ykt. Gov. Proas, of the Colfax party, in bin speech at Salem the other day, mentioned the fact that a Democratic paper abused him upon tho occasion of his former visit. Mr. lirosH certainly has not forgot ten that ho was guilty at that time of making a very bitter partisan speech to the men and women who came out to welcome him as a visitor and guest. If he ban forgotten it, the people of Salem have not, by any manner of means. After reading hia recent speeches, we think that that newspo- ... a a . m ner criticism worked something oi a reformation. E. Z. Jcnsox. Tho notorious Ned Buntline who has figured m tho va rious characters of novelist, drunkard, gambler, seducer and murderer is now enactjing the role of a temperance lec turer, and latciv aiwared in tho Ia- tioual Temperance Convention, where he stated that seven-tenths of the peo ple of California went to their graves from the effects of liquor drinking. The versatile Ned concluded lua say by pledging California and Oregon to the supiort of an Independent Tem perance ticket. A Paiuop Them. A Polk county radical politician who was clerk in the Oregon Legislature some yearn since used to declare in his speeches that he sprung from the common people." Gov. Woods in bin wigwam speech saya that lie got his start in Yamhill county.

The imagination of such anti republicanism and despotic doctrines could give " pleasure " to nono but Itadical. Senator Williams is reported to have said that if necessary he could briug & hutzdrcd fresh llcpoMicaa ote into Clackamas. Tbtre is no doubt but that the tnatr's integrity ia about equal to such conduct. Nobody doubts his will, but his. ability to Uo it is quito another I I 'Jain. Wo give place for a telegraphic sum mary of 31 r. Pendleton's speech on the llth inst. Wc havo had much complaint to make of tho telegraph lately, and were hardly prepared to expect such a favor as it it has given us in this speech, tho trans mission of which covers a multitude of telegraph sins. Not Much of a Start. Gov. "Woods in his speech at the Wigwam in Salem on tho occasion of Colfax's reception, in an unusual burst of oratory said: "I got me start in Yamhill, under the shadow of the Sierras." Wo don't thirik it was much of a start, after all. Senator Williams and Superintend ent of Indian affairs Meachem passed through -our city last week on their way to Siletz rtVr. Corvallis. These gentle men aro going to "fix tilings" for Ben ton county.- Not in the .Woods. Those who have believed that our Governor grew up in the wood3 ought to give him the benefit of his own declaration that he grew up in the shadow of the Sierras. It is now certain that he grew in the shade. ' i-fj. i v STATE NEWS. ', ; Tho 0. C. It'. It., expect to have'the 20 miles of grade done by the middle of next week.

I cannot say the Union is restored when Virginia, Mississippi ani Texas arc under military government ;-W wneii justice is administered by urawt aword cf Court martial, or that the Con stitution is maintained, when we knoff the Superior Court is only waiting thj opportunity to declare tbo reconstruction acts unconstitutional. I opposo th adoDtion of the Fifteenth Amendment bnrauso it is a material Radical change uf our Government, and destroys tho reh tions between the Stato and Federal Ua ion which the Constitution established ip tho government of them, and takes away from tho States, without their consent, that essential attributo of self-govcrninea,t and right to determine who shall exer cise tho right of suffrage, aud because it was intended to, and will, introduce nc- rm suffraoo in Ohio, airainst tho will of the people. Two years ago tho people of Ohio, without distinction of party, by a largo majority, refused to amend the Stato Constitution, after full argument and. full consideration of negro suffrage. I see no reason to bolievo they hive changed their opinion on the subject! of its adoption, and, because, by lQ strong est implication tho Union confers, pot unon Conirress. but ourselves, on the States, the right to, exclude troni the pal lot persons not of our own (the white) race, and not because cf their nativity, creed, wont pf educatjoq or pqyerty, and nrohibits the exclusion of another race 4f , only. If the interpretation of Senator Morton and Senator Howard be correct, under this amendment other States may exclude all Catholics atod Protestants, or poor men, from enjoying tho suffrage fin Ohio, but not the negro or mongolian. I object to its adoption because it is part and parcel of a scheme to flood the coun try with a forced importation of an im mense number of Chinese coolies and re peat in; a more difficult form the evils of the Government and Questions, whicl have unhappily divided our people. Pendleton .theu proceeded to attack the Secretary ot the Treasury for keeping so much money in tho Treasury vaults, and for hoarding an immense amount i each month.
