' s Teii-imormea .eastern juumai, Bpeating of the slate boast of the Re publican leaders regarding the reduc tion of taxes shows conclusively that the "amount of tariff taxes paid by our people for the fiscal year ending June 30,1870, was $194,538,874; while the amount for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1871, was $200,270,- 400, being an increase of nearly twelve millions of dollars over last year.- But this is not all there is to consider In this connection. It has been dem onstrated by the most careful and thorough investigation, that by the workings of the present iniquitous aystem of Radical tariff taxation, for every dollar of revenue that it puts into the Federal treasury, it takes four more from the hands of the laboring masses and puts into the pockets of protected monopolists, so that the real increase in taxation nn der the tariff system this year over last, h sixty miliums of dollars, in n Timbers, a sum which will cover all the reduction made in in ternal revenue taxation, and leave a n rudanee of at least thirty millions for net increase in the burden upon .W nonnlel Let us hear no more - I r .about the reduction of taxation. A Lively Pass. Last night at the close of Mi6S Anthony's lecture lively little pass at arms .was had between that lady, Mrs. Duniway and Mrs. J. Blakeslee Frost, who will re ply to Miss Anthony to-night. Miss Anthony invited any who wished to do so, to propound to her any ques tions they might desire to ask in re- card to the sabiect ot her lecture. Mrs. Frost arose and began asking questions, when a lively scene ensued. The sympathies of the audience seem ed on the side ot Mrs.' Frost, though All three ladies manifested tact and ability in their intellectual sparring. The scene was decidedly, interesting. AVe thought Mrs. Duniway exhibited .a little too much temper, bnt man, the poor weak creature, often does the same thing, much to the injury of bis cause. Ciun.-Mr. M. V.

Those negroes who prac ticed t bigamy before they became Aoters are all zealous for Bowen as a matter -of coarse; the thick-and-thin Grant men for him because they be lieve that whatever Grant does is Tight, and that bigamy, sanctioned by the President's approval, is something that ought to be encouraged ; while Democrats are also zealous for Bow en's nomination', because be is the easiest man for them to beat.

Editor Democrat ; . : f Portland is very steadily lengthen ing her cords and strengthening her stakes. Every month witnesses a material, though not wonderful change. Her progress is like the steady beat of the pulse of health rather than the rapid flutter of a pulse in a fitful fever. To bo sure, for a short time last spring, about the time a . . so many were cxpucung an over whelming immigration from across the mountains, and about the time our particular friend Ben. ' Ilolladay, the Duke of Blow and Bluster, was going to catch 50,000 Germans by the nape of the neck and transport them, nolens votois, from Bremen to Port land to settle up the lands of tho O. A C. R. It. Co., there was a spree of feverish and unhealthy excitement, and some of our real ; estate specula tors, giving too much credence to the assertions of land agents and our Du cal Bombastes, and believing that we were soon to have ' among us about 50,000 Pikes, Wolverines, Hoosiers and Pukes, to be interfused with, the 50,000 Germans to be imported by Ilolladay, purchased lands ; at figures it would be difficult for them" to ob tain to-day. The local of the Oregon tan, about a month ago, stated that there was a stagnation in the real es tate market, which the leading editors of the Oregonian and JJulletin very pompously denied, and yet that local, as a truthful chronicler of events, told only the simple truth. There is a stagnation in that market, consequent, however, only upon the unusual and unnatural excitement brought about last spring by the promises of Ilolla day and the combined efforts of our real estate agents. Owing to tl circumstances, matters were over strained, and as a consequence are now somewhat relaxed. But the nat ural growth of the country will soon bring these land purchasers out all right, provided thy didn't purchase with too short means. Yon people, np in the cow counties, irrespective of party, are now, doubt lessly, most grateful to tho last Legis lature for passing the Lock and Canal bill, by which the produce of our rich valley can find passage to the sea board without being subjected to the exaction of a monopoly. . ' By the purchase of the P. T. Com pany's boats, Ilolladay has absolute control and mastery over the produc tions of the Willamette Valley until such time as the locks shall be com pleted. A great responsibility there fore rests upon the Canal and Lock Company, and one which the entire people of the v?hole valley have a right to demand shall be executed in ood faith. Knowing the men' who own the majority of the stock of that company, I believe they will prose cute the work as contemplated. They are men who could illy afford to prove unfaithful to their trust, and who will, therelore, proceed witli the work and disappoint Holladay, who, without doubt, contemplates getting control of a majority of the stock of that company and then allow the project to go by default. - In fact I am now told that that conceited man, in speak ing of the Willamette Valley, calls it my valley." Well, in one sense, it was his "valley of humiliation," one year ago last June, and it be pokes his nose in politics next year it will be again. . '.-.' I see our old friend Flaxbrake hanging around Portland lately with, nothing in the world to do. He has come back here to look out for a chance to go back to the Senate again, and the little clique of one horse politicians that revolve around Holladay, really imagine' that., the Radicals are going to carry Oregon next spring, and thus give Flaxbrake another term in the Senate. But I can assure our old friend that be has not the ghost of a chance of ever get ting back there, and that instead of loafing around the streets it would be much better for him, and far more' re spectable, if he would get a buck-saw and go to sawing cord word for an honest living. " " ...' r'' This little clique I have mentioned base their hopes of defeating the De mocracy of this State on the suppo-1 sition that we will be divided on what is called the "new departure,4 a ques tion concerning which there is really no difference among 'the Democracy of Oregon. For instance, let us sup pose that the next Democratic State Convention should lay down a plank in substance as follows: "Resolved, that the Democracy of Oregon r will never consent to any, departure from the time-honored faith and principles of their party, that they insist as heretofore that the two last' Amend ments to the Constitution were foisted therein by means fraudulent and rev olutionary, but that inasmuch as they have been decided to be amendments by the legally constituted authorities of the government, the people are in duty bound to recognize them as such de facto, until the same shall have been declared void by the "courts, or: shall have been modified or repealed in fa legal manner;"; is there a Democrat in Oregon who would seriously object to it? The difference among the De mocracy in regard to , the "new . de parture" so-called is more fancied than real, as the Radicals will find to their cost. ;; I see that some of 'our State journals attribute the defeat of the Democracy in California tp the adoption of a part of tho Ohio plat form, but tho Jixaminer expresses my belief, and I endeavored to 'Watch the canvass very closely, when it says that tW new departure Question was is- norecV almost entirely, and 'that the cause of the defeat was the fact that Ilaight thrust himself upon the party by the aid of his office-holders after having repeatodly declared that ho would not bo n Candida to for renomi nation. , - It was Ilaight, and not the new departure, that wrought our de feat in California. Tho "old liners" submitted to his ; nomination ' four years ngo quite patiently, but thought it waa their time this year wh.cn one of t'ue old wheel-horses would be re warded, ' and when, 4 through adroit manipulation, Ilaight received, the uomination, for the mean purpose on ly of getting an "endorsement,'1 they allowed him to get an endorsement which should serve as a lesson to all men who endeavor to force their nominations upon conventions by any system of packing. The West Side Road is progress ing quite favorably, and by the first of November the first twenty miles will have been completed, and then Ben Ilolladay will call upon . our citi zens for that $100,000 which he forced out of their pockets by the very shab by trick of getting hold of tho West Side Road franchise, under written promise to build the road in consider ation therefor, aud then demanding 5100,000 from Portland under the implied threat of not building it pro vided that sum was not raised. gave $50 towards the road and expect to pay it, but I must bo allowed to say that I would entertain just as hiih an ODinion of a fellow who o would steal a barrel of salt beef from my cellar after having been engaged to waub it, as I do of tho man who "ot hold of that franchise to use it as a means of unjust exaction. If Ben had brought out bis 50,000 Germans we wouldnt have eared so much about the $100,000.' But that is just the way with these "California nharpa They always make big promises in order to get a big swoop ot money and then let their promises co to tho deviL You Albany folks got bilked out of $50,000 and of course you are somewhat prepared to appreciate our feelings. As this $100,000 is to be taken from our city just at tbe setting in of win ter, and just about tho time our taxes fall due, wo may reasonably expect a temporary stringency in the money market, which may for a time affect us somewhat, but the high prices now ruling for farm products will have some tendency to alleviate the threat ened pinch. I will close this letter by referring to a fact which will go farther towards rebutting all - the foolish nonsense about "woman's rights' than whole volumes of arguments. A noted fe male advocate of tliat dogma in this city lias been perambulating this State with Susan B. Anthony) leaving her two young boys to run around tho streets without a mother's care, and as a consequence they have been figuring in our police court for steal ing pumpkins. ' What will tho Xew 2forthieest say about this ? X. j Resigned. Gov. Lisle was in augurated at Frankfort, Kentucky, on on the 5th.

The Xew.York Tribune charges Murphy, Grant's collector of customs at New York city with base dishonesty in the transaction of his official duties. Such a charge from such a source will prob- bly be received as worthy of consid eration by honest Republicans. Cer tainly no . partizan .motive impels Greeley to assail so high an official in the ranks of his own party. Hon. Charles P. Johnson, a promi nent Republican politician and lawyer of St. Louis, and late Radical candi date t for Congress, has . come out squarely and ? is about to take the stump against Grant and Radicalism. v The , Galveston JYews thinks that the Bepnblicans will nominate a col ored. man for Vice-President next year, - and it names Lieut.
