OCTOBER 11, 1ST0.
DEATH OF GENERAL LEE.
The telegraph informs us that Gen. .
Robert E. Lee died' at Lexington,
Virginia, on the 12th of October, of
congestion of the brain, aged C3 years,
8 months and 23 dajs. "
Thus another great and good man
Las been summoned to the Land
whither all mortality is drifting. Gen
eral Lee's life is identified with the
history of our country for nearly half
a century past, and especially for the
past ten years have his publio acts
been matters of observation and com
ment by the whole American people.
Now that he has gone to his rest,
along with thousands of other great
iheroes which almost every decade of
Ihe world's history has produced, it is
Jbut meet that those who respect honesty
of purpose and purity of heart and
.greatness of intellect, wherever
.found, should mourn his loss and
-honor his memory.
JBorn and bred a soldier, and in
jured by experience to all the hard
shipa of the camp and field, he was
jet a christian gentleman of the pur
st stamp, and no act of his life is
wanting in that moral uprightness
which ever characterizes the "pure in
heart." Ready always to unsheathe
his sword in defence of his country,
in 18C1, at the bidding of the State of
Virginia, and in obedience to the de
mands of what he believed his duty,
sorrowfully, but without reluctance,
with a full appreciation of all the
probable and possible consequences
of the step, but without hesitation, he
turned his back upon such offers and
opportunities as men refuse but once
in a lifetime, and for the constitution
al government which his lineal ances
tors had helped so effectually to es
tablish, stated everything he had.
save his fair name and christian vir
tues, and lost all he staked. In giv
ing his adhesion tohis native State and
weilding his sword in defence of his
home and family, he did what was
only natural in one who loves the
land that gave him birth, and we be
lieve future generations will honor
his name and place it high among
ihose of the patriot dead.
All honor to General Lee, as
model gentleman, an earnest chris
tian, a learned scholar and a brave
soldier, and peace to his ashes as
dead hero! ' '
He sleeps m the grave side by
side with his "right arm," the great
Stonewall Jackson, and Virginia's
soil will rest lightly and lovingly upon
their stilled hearts because of their
sacrifices in her behalf.
THE IATE ELECTIONS.
The telegraph, with its usual reti
cence in times of election, has failed
.to give us any definite intelligence as yet
.in regard to elections held last week
in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and
Iowa. The only dispatches that we
.have received indicate that all of those
States have gone Republican by re-
duced majorities, excepting Indiana,
which is claimed to be Democratic by
-about two thousand, and the Legis
lature of that State has a Democratic
majority on joint ballot of about three
votes. This is the first time that
"Old Hoozier" has gono Democratic
Jor twelve years, and is the most
.cheering sign of the overthrow of
-Radicalism in 1872 that we have yet
observed. " The Congressional delega
.tion in Indiana will stand probably
.six Democrats to five Radicals a
.Democratic gain of two Congressmen.
In the other three States the Congres
sional delegation is probably un
changed, as regards their political
.status.
Iowa is probably Radical on the
.State ticket by 25,000 or 30,000 a
.Radical loss of about 15,000. The
.Radical majority in Ohio is said to be
About 1,500 a Democratic gain of
1,500 over last year. Pennsylvania, at
last accounts, was still in doubt, and
it requires the official count to deter
mine the result. We shall not proba
bly learn anything further from these
elections until ttne Eastern papers
bring us the tidings through the mails.
This, however, is cheering news to the
Democracy, and presages sure death
and destruction to Radicalism in the
next national campaign, for the grea
States of Pennsylvania, Ohio and In
diana will be gathered; to. the Demo
cratic fold in that contest.
Lock Bill Passed Bj telegrams from
v. Representatives Alexander and Helm, we
1 learn that the Senate Bill for the Locks and
Canal at Oregon City, to 'be Luilt on the
-west side oftne river at that place, passed
- the House yesterday, and it now only awaits
-the Governor's signature to become a law.
'This is the most important measure for the
-people of the Willamette Valley that has
been enaeted. by the present General Assem
bly. v - -
The Gale who blows for the Boseburg
.Ensign calls us names and makes ugly faces
At as from his safe "posish" away op in the

the conventional rules of journalistic decency

THE ritESBl'TEIUANS AND
THEfJIIIXESE.
, . .1 i -v,

The Old School Presbyterian Synod,
now in session at San Francisco, has
declared by resolution, "That in. the
immigration of Chinese to this coun
try, we recognize the providence of
)
God; we interpret this as one of the
means by which China is to be evan
gelized, etc."
Thus it will be seen that this pow
erful branch of the Evangelical de
nomination has espoused the cause of
the idolatrous Chinaman and is wel
coming him with outstretched arms to
our Pacific (shores. Not content with
having been one of the chief instru
ments to precipitato the late civil war
upon our country by preaching an ab
olition crusade upon the South not
content with assisting to deluge our
country in a terrible fratricidal war,
against all the teachings of that meek
and lowly One of whom they pretend
to be the followers not satisfied with
making a bonfire out of the property
of the Southern , people and stealing
their negroes by its light not content
with aiding to plunge our country in
to the blackest pall of mourning that
ever enveloped any people, and caus
ing a wail of agony to go up from the
bereft souls of tens of thousands of
widows and famishing little ones; but
now, when the smoke of battle is jiiHt
clearing away, and our passion swayed
nation is just again struggling to its
feet and steadying itself for an energet
ic leap out of the blackness of the ruin
and desolation which has swept over
it, these blood-stained fanatics, with
their clerical robes still dripping with
the flow of human gore, are encourag
ing the flooding of our land with a
horde of idolaters who will rob the
dead soldier's orphan children of their
bread and deprive the widow of her
only source of subsistence, the hard
labor of the laundry; who will com
pete with the poor of our own land in
all the avenues of labor and thus rob
them of a legitimate livelihood and
drive them into that course of crime
which those church-obund fanatics so
much deplore.
Why, in the name of justice and bu
inanity, cannot the religious denomi
nations of our country devote them
selves to their legitimate business
the upbuilding of Christ's Kingdom
and allow the political matters of the
nation to be managed by politicians?
Is it necessary to the life of Cnristian-
ity that its devotees should decend in'
to the secular arena and combat ques
tions of political economy and be
smear their sacred robes with the filth
of the political cesspool.' We were
taught that it was the duty of min
isters of the Gospel to keep themselves
free from the defilements of the world
and preserve their sacred characters
from the taint of worldliness; and we
certainly believe that God's righte
ous judgement will sooner or later
overtake those bigoted zealots who
so far forget their sacred calling as to
assist in encouraging by official action
a strife which will probably end in
another bloody war upon the plains
of the American Republic.
"OS THE WlSC"
Plaster's ITOTCt.,
St. Loci. Oct. 3, 1870. J
Editor Democrat:
I arrived at tbis place on yesterday morn
ing from Decatur, Illinois, where I attended
the State Fair. Tbe Fair was well attended
although it rained in torrents tbe four last
days so much so that the managers brought
tbe Exhibition to a close on Saturday morn
ing. The mud was almost boot top deep,
and a little tbe toughest I ever pulled my
boots out of. I felt sorry for tbe ladies for
I believe they were in a worse looking con
dition Saturday moraine than I ever wit
nessed them before.
Tbe display in the Ladies' Pavilion was
inferior to that of the Oregon State Fair of
1809; the same may be said of grain and
vegetables, with tbe exception of corn
which far excelled, for size and" quality, any
former exhibition of that article that I have
ever bad tbe pleasure of seeing.
The horse show was not equal to that of
the Oregon State Fair in any particular.
Tbe display of cattle was far ahead of my
expectations ; I do not believe that it can
be beaten. There were twelve head of cream
colored oxen, three years old last April, be
longing to Taylor k Kincaid, of Cass coun
ty, which weighed, on an average, 2,500
and were admired by every passer-by" for
their size and beautythis sight alone paid
me for my trip to Illinois.
The exhibition of hogs was splendid, there
being over two hundred entries. The Ches
ter Whites were there in their purity, and
also the Imported Berkshire, which were
very fine and greatly admired by tie far
mers of Illinois. - . ..
The display of agricultural machinery
was tremendous, covering about four acres,
. The Jorn and hay crops of Iowa and Illi
nois are very good, but there is very, little
wheat raised in either of - these States this
this year. The early rains tbis fall have
caused the timothy and clover fields to look
as green as if it were May.
Tbe weather is very warm here for thia
time of the year. I am afraid the Fair to
be held at tbis city will meet with tbe same
fate as that of the Illinois State Fair, as it
has already commenced raining.

for the. Fair, but went with all haste to
