People are likely to wonder if, after all, the Oregon State House Officials hare had a precedent for their action upon the buggy question. Mungen, Member of Congress from Ohio, re cently introduced a resolution in the Houje directing all the Cabinet offi cers to report the number of carriages, horses and harness paid for by the government and used for the pleasure or conTenienco of tho Heads of the Do-. partrient3 and their lainilies, and by what authority such government prop erty has been appropriated. Tho House refused to second the preTious question, and so the resolution .-went oyer. Of course it will always contin ue to "go over." A3 a matter of taste, the resolution was no doubt imperti nent and most offensive to tho dignity of the dignitaries, -whose elevation to office was not prompted by economical considerations whose loyalty covers every, deficiency in qualification for office. But a3 a little matter of busi ness, with which the people have a pecuniary interest, ilungnr's resolution is important. " - -",' The shrewd Congressman assumes the fast that buggies, carriages and horses are paid for by the public for Heads of the Departments, and" in quires into the details. The main fact is imp orient. It shows to what new uses' an office may be put; what unsuspected practices are,, and what others may be, in unthought of places; it sho-.vs how easily a hole may be made in the public money-bags, and in what ignorance the public may re main concerning the same. After all, we are not so sure that it was "Wash ington City that 'made the precedent. Biding, driving and putting on airs at public expense is aa Oregon invention, we think. It is our own Salem fash ion th&t Washington copies. Let us respect the prophet of our own coun try. Ijet us do ourselves the honor to consider that our Wood's, May, Cooka d al., tro not shallow imitations but great originals men rich in resources and feitile in inventions. At the pres ent rata of progress, w may reason ably hop that the day is not far dis tant when an official commission will be the patent of countless privileges; when the word "perquisites" will have a signification so general as to compre hend all things useful and desirable in the eye 3 of covetous man, and when stealing will no longer be regarded by the vul jar multitude as a reprehensi ble practice, but rather as a fine art. Iowa follows Wyoming in the matter ci "Woman's Eights." It appears that a Miss Julia C. Addington has been duly elected by the male sufira gans of that State to Ihe useful if not distinguished office of Superintendent of Common Schools. But Mis3 Ad dington, with a timidity quite unnatu ral in pioneers in great reform move ments, hesitated and deliberated upon her leg.d right to tako and hold the office. . Whereupon she a3ks the ad vice of . tho Attorney General, Mr1. O'Conner, a gentleman eurmosed to be, and who has a 'right to be. hizh authority in all mattsrs of tins charac ter. Itat individual replies that a "recent decision in the Court of Ex chequer, England, holding that the generic term man includes woman also, in.iicates our progress from crude barbarism to a better civiliza- tion." ; ; The Attorney concludes by saying : : need scarcely add that, in my o pinion, Miss Addin ston is en titled tc the office to which she has been elocted." - FRIDAY QXXALXj YSTE tfOSII?iVTE A BEN- ATORT Wo ask the attention of tho Dem6c racy of ,Orogon to tho propriety pf nominating a candidate at tho State Convention for tho United States Sen ate Tho practice of thus designating a candidate hr.s prevailed heretofore in other States and was adopted in thia State in eelecting tho jirst candid ates for that office. The practice of eelecting in ft Legis lative caucus is open to many objec tions. It decides the matter without any direct expression of tho people and almost wholly independent of them. It has tho effoct to consume much of the timo of the Legislature and to originato many of the disgrace ful practices that are sometimes inci dent to a Senatorial election. The successful party cltould lmo its choice, independent of pressure end lobby manipulation"?. Thoro . h no way of ascertaining that choico o f e&siblo as that adopted with ref eic nco to candidates upon tho Stato ticket. Our next contest involves ths election of a Senatorthe importance of the election culminates in that office. . Up on one side Judge Williams is tho con ceded standard-bearer. Into tho scale of issues that gentleman thrown his personal strength if ho baa any aa any candidate for such an office should be presumed to havoj his ability, his attainments, his character aro all brought to bear in securing votes for the Legislative ticket. In the important contest to ensue we shall certainly make a better fight if we know who our leaders are. A matter of such consequenco should be taken now, at this opportune time, into the primary conventions. The su premo importance of the question seems to demand it. With all defer ence to Legislative caucuse?, we think that the regularly chon convention i3 the higher and safer tribunal. We all remember the great contest beiwcea Douglas and Lincoln, in 1858, in Illi nois, wherein the candidacy in cither party was not left to a Legislative cau cus. The impolicy of that method of deciding the Senatorial question, wq think, was not there, nor has it been since ever so remotely hinted at. f"P " a a mm j. he uregoman says uuu "11 is a burning disgrace to tho American pirss that among its'numbers are to be found those who manifest such hyena-like instincts as have been exhibited in nu merous quarter? since the death of Ed win 31. Stanton." Please tell us your opinion of ihe Eepublican pres3,Jn pouring out the vials of its vituperation upon the dead Chief Justice Taney and in helping its malignant abuse upon Sam Medary. We deprecate the language quoted by the Orcjoniaa and attributed to a Ten nessee paper because it is not becom ing a public print under any circum stances. Stantou should Ire spoken of however just as ho is. Those who have witnessed his awful crimes ugair at liberty, or have suffered his tyranny can find enough to bay of him without extenuating or getting down aught in malice. We are glad that the Oreqonian has learned that indecent revilemeat of the dead is a burning disgrace to the American press. We aro" only sorry that the lesson has 1fcen deferred co long and only learned now by n Jittlo experience. And this remind us of a harsh adage, which wo don't say has any application to this ni&tter. The Marysville Jpjjeal, which de- eervpi3 to be considersd as ono of the ablest, as it is one of tho most zealous Eepublican papers upon the coast, is net pleased with Senator Williams' China bill. Tho Appeal evidently has the Senator's measure with tolerable exactness. It does not mistake clev erness for statesmanship. It neemn to understand what everybody ought to know that tho Senator is demacroeru ing on the Chinose question, and it does not sufficiently feel tho pressure of party -exigency to refrain from "talking cut." There is a great deal signified in tho way it puis the matter: "It will beeen that Senator Williams, . by bis bill, proposes to prohibit .Chinese immigration Ig contrast that is, Chinamen -or China woman may land at San Franoiseo singly, bat if tbsy eooe 1 pairs they can b stopped and tho shippers held for heavy Cnss. Should this bill pass, w might contract for cne thousand Chines laborers, bat thsy could not land bat oca tt a time. The quer tion arises, would this bo treating tbe Chinese gov ernment as other foreign governments are treated? Would it be keeping our treaty stipulations ? Can cot wo contract in Germany or Russia for 1,000 laborers, and ship them in one vessel? It will bo seen that Senator Colo does not agree with tho Oregon Senator. - lie reoognizss tho importance 0 labor in bis brief remarks whether white or black and sensible men on this coast sustain tbe same opinion with the Senator." RADICAL STATE COHYEKTIOIT. Special Dispatch to (he Democrat. Portland, Or.? Jan. 20. The next Eepublican State Convention will ba held in Portland, on Thursday tho 7th day of April. Tbe basis of rep resentation is fixed at ono delegate for each sixty votes cast for tho Eepublican candidate for Congress in 1868, and one additional delegate for each fraction 0 thirty-fivo or over and one delegate at large for each county. County Conven tions are to bo held on Saturday, March ?Sth. . THE SPIIYNX HVKAUH. President Grant has delivered an opinion upon tho tariff. Tho tolegraph reports him thus: "The Trepidant, In coefsroncain the Ways and Means Committee, on the subject of the tariff, r fommeoJs the increase, on the free list of all ar ticles geara!ly used b this oountry, which do not come in competition with American products. If this is capable of a construction, it means that tho tariff is to bo continued for pt'ct&tive purposes. It meana that thore should bo no relief given to the industrial intorests of the country, that the government will persist in fostor nig monopolies, and in keeping from the working-men of American tho pow, or to go into tho markeU of tho world and cell tlio product of their skilled la bor; that wo ought to continuo the foolish aud wicked policy that dsprtven ouv own peoplo of a share in tho vast trado of other .countries. America wantj xoora. Sho cannot r-f-ford to Lava her commerce wall 1 m from the rest of tho world; to hv;o h r skill and Ichor weightsd dorm with a tariff tht nnbancert thy cost of tho workman's material, cud increases tbe price of hia food and clothing. Tho utlorances of tho President prob ably havo & Kgnifieanso. They indi cate a determination on tho part of thoso who fashion nnd mould th:s Ad ministration to py no attention to the practical lessons of tho past, but to persist, regardless of results and in con tempt of public interests, in tho pres ent policy. Our ruinous tariff expe rience seems to produce no impression upon Congressman or President. Do feat at tho polls is tho only lesson that theso characters aro likely to heed. D EM O C'RAT I V CO 5131 ITTEEft, CONVENTIOXM, aire. The Democratic Central Conmitteo of Clackamas ccuntr meets oa tiic 23th cf Jam-cry next Tuesday. Iho Denocrctic Central Committeo of Lar.o county met in Euge.$ oa the 12th insi., Mid failed tb' It County Convention for tho 12th thy ol March next. Tho apportionment is r.s follows : Each precinct shall havo fxml ono del egate; then ono dokgato for rt ch fif- QU votfts cast for the Dcraoerr.Uo can didal for Congress in 16C3, .aid one for each fraction of eight or over giv ing Lane county GO delegates in her County Convention. Tho Democratic Committee of Ma rion county met in Satem last Tv day, and appointed tho County Con vention for Saturday, tho 12th dfcy of 3Dxch. There will be 51 delegates in tho Convention. The telegraph ascaracs the ratifica tion of tho 15th AmcadinQnt by Ohio, without conveying information cf the act. We presume, howc7r. ths.t tho telegraphic asbnmptioa ia correct and that Ohio has reconsidered h?r action of Itatycar rnd ratified tho amend ment. New York haa alro reconsider ed her action but with a dUieret re- rult. New York this time reject!. -Now, smce, in all probability, 1xth of thcee States will bo needed to securo the requhsito three-fourths, hero is c nice litUe dilemma for Padieal tacti cians to get around. If a Htate cannot legally reconsider her action in tho premises, then Ohio must keep her placo among tho non-ratifying Stales ; if a Str.te can do so, then New York must bo so counted. We aro a little curious to see just how tho af fair will be adjusted. The Bill reported by the reconstruc tion committee for the admission of Virginia was exchanged for a Bubsti tuto, introduced by Bingham, by acloso vota of 98 to S5. Wo do not know wb-.t tho character cf the substitute is but presume it to be less revolting in its features than tho emanation of tho Committee, from tho fact that the Democratic members, on tho vote to substitute, pretty gsnerally voted in the normative. It seems then that the Reconstruction Committee that has hatched all that brood of infamous measures that has been launched upon the South to breed disorder in its gov ernment and inaugurate a hell in its society, has finally concocted some thing cf such unpaalleled atrocity that even a Radical Congress would not endorse it. New Railuoad Arrangements. New through passenger fares go into opera tion on the Pacific Railroad on and af ter January 1st. First class fare to Chicago and St. Louis has been re duced to $118; to New York $140; to New Orleans to $150; to Philadelphia to $138 25, and to Boston $143. The separate emigrant train has been done away with, and in future a second class car will accompany the through daily express train. Delays occasionally oc curred by the special emigrant train, passengers being frequently ten days in reaching New York. Now they will go through as quickly as the first class passengers. The fares by second class cars are as follows: To Chicago and St. Louis; $93; to Philadelphia, $110; to. Baltimore, $109, and to New York, $110. All fares are payable in green backs. ; ' ' - .: John Marshall committed suicido by cutting his throat with a razor at Utao lady, W.?T. last Monday. NEW YOIIK UNDElt THE KOD. Now York may got ready to bid adieu to all he greatnessto descend from her seat of cmpiro and sit down in ashes at tho fet of tho reconstruc tion committee. Tho doughty Drako has decreod her degradation, and res olutely assigns her a place by tho side cf Ooorgia and Virginia. In the published dispatches of last week thcro wai an account of tho in troduction of a resolution, or amend ment, declaring that when any "State reconsiders her ratification of the 15th Amendment, such Btato ehall 110 long er have representation in Congress." New York has done just that thing. The recolution is intended for that Stato. Truo, it may to open to tho objection that in order to bo efiectivo it will havo to bo cx jmt facto in its operation, but thou that is only a tri fle. Constitutional objections aro no longer obstacles in ths way of legisla tor liko tho majority in tho present Congress. Tho only limit to their legislation is that interposed by jftysi cal burriors. Who knows but that tho day may come when Oregon will bo dismissed from Court, bocauso, in tho days of her good old Domocracy sho put a discriminating tax upon China men? or because Senator Williams succeeded in getting a clause in the Stato Constitution prohibiting tho immigration of negroes?

Mrs. Martin, vifo of a tailor or shoema ker, ca I am told, treatl the town to free trance lecture, under the head of "the glory and shame of Portland," the other evening. She was arrayed in the usua C&rb of her sex, was plainly dressed and used a full fine voice and bell-clapper tongue prclty freely against Portland. She ha a sharp nose, t'.in lips and a rather pleasant expression. She talks with her eyes abut. makes gestures like astumpist, and crucifies grammar with a rockle&sness that is refresh' ing. Sho is of conrso a Greeley-Bcccher- Ilicbardson-Republican and spoke out strongly for Chinamen. I take her to be very ignorant. She asserted that Confucius wrote just as good philosophy as ever Christ wrote. This is a pretty snfo assertion con stdering that Christ never wrote a line In all his thirty-three years. By the way, has it occurred to you how singularly fitting it is that Henry Ward Decchcr should bo tbe chiefest Sguro in tbe latest of sensational castincss? It seems to run in the Beccher family. Ilia sister Harriet bad cot begun to get the Byron fabehold washed from her filthy fingers till ho step) in and champions and defends the grossest and coarsest violation of on of the Ten Commandments. And these art the men and women who stand at tbe head of religion and literature in America I raasoxau 1 met on tho street this morning, followed by a crowd of boys, my childhood ideal of Jonah preaching tho destruction of Ninovab. On Inquiry I found my great fisherman to bo ono Dr. (?) McBride, of "King of Pain" fame. Whether he is ft continuation of the run of professional, religious and theatrical humbugs that go regularly through tbe cour try and pick up the people's chango, de ponent saith not, though I am strongly in clined to tho affirmative of the proposition. His hair is dark and waving and a good deal longer than any Cayase Indian's that ever scalped a missionary. He wears a hat with a brim like an umbrella, and dress coat that almost sweeps the pavement. The expression of his faco is that of a second. class-abolition-Missionary-Methodist or first-class Mississippi fiat-boat blackleg I hardly know which. He reminds me forci bly of Brick Pomeroy's picture of Jehial Prayerful who went South. RalLROADICAL. TheWest-Sido Railroad Company has hit on a plan for "raising tho wind" which seems practical and it is devoutly hoped will prevail. The proposition is to issue $300, 000 bonds, seven per cent., cashed at a very liberal discount. If I am correctly inform ed, the discount is to be about forty per cent, and the first interest is to bo paid a the end of two years, and in default of it, tho bond holders may foreclose and have possession and full title. .Two-thirds of. the stock is already taken. When all is taken tho gold paid will bo about $175,000 which will more than complete the first twenty miles. The work already done amounfg to about $G00, 000, so that stock-holders trader the new plan with first mortgage on all this will be amply secured in their $300,000, which is to really cost them only sixty cents on the dol lar. Yours hurriedly, Smitix. 108 IlEFUIIEICAXft, IN COUNCIL. From a special dispatch published in this paper, it will bo eeen that the Republican Convention is to meet at Portland, April 7th, and that tho ap portionment is ono delegate to each CO rotes for Logan, ono for each frac tion of 35, and one for each county at argc. This will make tho Convention consisljof 198 delegates. Marion coun ty alono has 24. Only think of 198 loyal men in council I It will strain the ranks to sparo so many. This mighty marshalling of forces at Portland is for the purpose of hoodooing a little spirit into Multnomah county and for refresh ing the courage of tho Convcntioners in view of tho appalling gloom of tho situation. We invito attention to the fact that 1 i" m 1 ' 1 . tho Bill to vacate the Umatilla Reser vation and provido for its Halo was not introduced by Mr. Williams, as is cur renlly reported. The Bill was intro duced in tho House instead of the Senato, and from this circumstanco wo suppose that Mr. Smith was its intro ducer. Tho Bill providing for the Columbia River Branch Railroad is al so attributed to Mr. 'Smith, although Williams has the credit of it. STATE NEWH. From tie IleraM.

On Sunday morning last tho Chapel of tho Sisters' -Convent, on Fourth street, was crowded with an attentive congrega tion, to witness tho profe-mon of Mbs Mary Jane Kelly. Pontifical fltgh Mass was celebrated by tbe Very Rev. Father rtcrens, Adrattujstrator of the Diocese, as sisted by Rev. Father Pictte and Deacon, and the Rev, Father De Cracna, as Sub Deacon. 31 fas Kelly sat immediately in front cf tho High Altar, drtfscd for tho la&t time in tho garb of tbe world, and at the proper time advanced to tho foot of the Altar, and to response to tho usual questions propounded by Father Fiereris, signified her wish to quit the world, and to be received into thn Urucr ol tho bis tcrs of the Most Holy names of Jesus and Mary. Father Ficrens preached an elo quent sermon setting forth the nature ol too sacrifice made, and pointing out the benefits to be gained in lieu, after which bo blessed the habit, and Miss Kelly was conducted to the Sacristry where she as sumed tho habit of the Order, and return ed to tho foot of tho Altar, was invested with tbe whito veil of tho Xovice, and be came in religion Sister Mary Roso of Lima. Mass way then finished and the solemn ceremony brought to a close by reciting tbe litany of tho Blessed Virgin.
