..OCTOBER 27, 18?l. " JUDGE BOSHAJl .Third Judicial, District, donned tbe ermine and took his scat upon the Beach for the first time ou Monday of this week, in this city. Upon as suming the responsible duties, of his vosilion. he delivered a neat little ad- . dross to the members of the Bar who t-'were present, asking their assistance and co-operation iu successfully and speedily conducting affairs ooniing ;. before bis Court and urging.upoa them the practice of those- ameuities and courtesies toward him and - toward oach other -u hich add so much to the profession and conduce to the profit and, pleasure of all concerned. lie auuueu iu mouesi terras 10 nis iacK oi judicial experience and asked from gentlemen that forbearance and charity which all of them would desire under use circumstances. His remarks "were received in the spirit in . which they were intended, and he proceeded with the business of the Court with dignity and a self-possession which argues well for his luture success and popularity. Seldom has the judicial ermine fallen upontruer shoulders or covered an honester heart than B. F. iBonham's. GOOD TOR ILLINOIS. The Democratic State Convention of Illionis was held the first of the present month, and true to their Democratic instincts they declared that w the Democratic party has no J . 1 V 1 : uejianure 10 i,iKe, oerag always sup porters of the Constitution, and be lieving bow, as they always have, that it should be obeyed.'' This-declaration has the ring of the trne-nietaFand is a sentiment to which all true American citizens can cheer fully subscribe. It is no-new depart ure for the party who made the Con stitution to assert their fealty to it and to pledge a hearty support to its fundamental measures. Democrats will never lose their identity as true patriots and strict partizans so long as they continue to stand by the Consti tution and uphold the legally adopted measures of that sacred instrument. Illinois ha the champioa Democratic platform of 1871. TEXAS HEARD FROM. l ne i eras election occurred some weeks ago and the reason why the tele graph never mentioned that event is now explained. It goes Democratic on the State vote by 30,000 majority and the Democrats elect all four of the- Congressmen. "When we reflect that in 18C9 Texas went Radical by 11.000 ma ioritv tlip. r rpapnt. eLitnt nf political affairs in that State are de cidedly 1 cheering. A gain of over forty ttousand votes in two years shows a tolerably healthy condition of affairs ior the Democracy of the "Lone Star State." Texas had no voice in the last Presidential election. but will add her electoral vote to the Democratic column next year. TuiT ftfHfial rffnrni sTinnr lii . , T. b.MV $260,000,000 in gold was collected at the United States Custom Houses for the year ending the 30th of June, 1871. This is equal to about $235, 000,000 in legal tenders. The whole amount of our foreign imports upon which this enormous sum was levied in nniv uno nno noo Tn nth -arnr.u for every four dollars of goods that the people buy of the world the Government collects two dollars. Is not this monstrous and outrageous ? Let the farmer and the mechanic re member when they go to a store and purchase four dollars' worth x of goods, that they are required to hand over two dollars for the use of the National Treasury. In this way they can judge of the amount of their taxa tion. ; -' - i ! The Atlanta Sun says: Perhaps never before, in the historv of Ameri can politics, did two such disorderly conventions assemble upon one day, as the Republican State Conventions ' of New York and Massachusetts. In New York the "police had to be called to the platform to preserve or der, ' while in Massachusetts the ; body seems to have resolved into a mob, ..These are two admirable in stances of tbe excellent harmony (?) that exists in tbe Radical party.

General Butler: "They saw him grow with the prodigious necessities and opportunities of the war, until the shadow of his stature filled all the world." The Courier-Journal says it wasn't the shadow of his - stature that filled all the world. It was simply the intolerable smell of his villainous misdeeds.

One of the chief clerks of the New York Custom House has lately pub lished a book, showing the list of arti cles on which a tariff duty is levied, and also showing when the tariff laws were passed from which tho following information is derived. The list of artiolos upon which du ties are paid cover CG pages of the boot;,, and number 3,400, without at tempting to ascertain the number of articles not enumerated coming under the same head, and paying tho same duty. The synopsis of tho revenuo laws will show how the crews, from time to time, have been turned upon tbe nerves and spines of the people Here ihey are: Act of March , 5, 1801 Morrill tariff; Resolution 2d of March, 18GI; Act August 3; Act December 4; Act July 14, 18G2; Act March S, 1803 Act March 8, 18G5; Act March 24, 1SCG; Act July 28, 18GG; Resolution to amend act of 80th of June, 18G4; Act March 7, 1SG7; Resolution 25th of March, 1867; Act February S, '68; Act February 24, 18G0; Act July 14,; 1870, and the last yet published. .-' All these acts and resolutions, from the first to the seventeenth inclusive, will be found to be acts for increasing duties, stopping holes in fonner acts, and reaching further and further so as to include everything brought to our shores from the remotest corners of the earth. The laws in relation to internal revenue, and all the financial acts of Conjrress which have been showered upon the people within the last two years, are as capricious anu uncertain as the revenue laws above enumerat ed. They have come so thick and fast, and are encumbered with so much uncertainty as to their meaning and duration, that no cne could be secure against incurring the penalties speci fied therein, without consulting a law yer before proceeding to buy or sell, or do any kind of busiuess. Look at the laws imposing taxes on incomes. At first, the tax was one and one-half of one per cent., as specified in the act of Cogss. Then it was five per cent on aft incomes; then five per cent, on incomes under $10,000, and ten per cent, on incomes over that sum. It was soou reduced to five per cent again upon all incomes, with further ' exceptions. Then re- jduced to two and one-half per cent. by late act of Congress; since which it has been stated that the tax is un constitutional, and that' the amount which will be collected under the re duced rate will little more than pay expenses of collection, and of the liti gation which will follow in many cases. That " Honest Admixistbatiox." Radical stealings which . have been unearthed within the last month, are as follows: Major Cbas. Thomas, V. S. Quar termaster, $20,000. Major nodge, paymaster of the V. S. army, $500,000. Norton, cashier of the New York ; post office, $115,000. F- M. Lamper, Receiver of the U. S. Land Office, Washington Territory, and second cousin of U. S. Grant, j $60,000. Scmmes, postmaster at Atlanta, Ga. $30,000. Here are $730,000 of stealings from the public treasury that has been brought to light witltin ' the last four weeks. Besides the persons above named, tbe books of the Radical postmaster at Hartford, Conn., show him to be a defaulter to a jarge amount, but ex actly how much, has hot yet been as certained. This is a pretty good showing for an " honest administration.'" That Champiox Thief, Pay master Hodge, who is a defaulter to the Government in $500,000, has been sentenced to be cashiered, to forfeit all pay and allowances due him, and to suner ten years' imprisonment at hard labor. Grant will doubtless pardon him, as be did the bigamist, Bo wen. Among the articles destroyed by the Chicago ! fire was the original I Emancipation Proclamation of Abra ham Lincoln, which was in the Chi cago Historical , Library; and the Oregonian wants the negroes to , "git up and git", from American soil for fear. they - will have to go back to slavery again. - ,ii Gejt. BeaCeeg a kd, late of the Con federate army, traveled with Grant through tbe Western States a couple of weeks ago. 1 It is understood that Beauregard has been reckless of his reputation of lata. .! . , The Sacramento ' llejtorter says Beauregard accept the ."New De parture." Since he. has got to travel ing with Grant he has probably learned to accept anything. ' Gravt attended a ball "away down in Maine," at Bangor, last Thursday, at which a collection was taken up and divided between him and the fiddler. After having had experience with both, the Lowell people are "free to maintain" that the small pox is pre ferable to Butler. The Minnesota Democracy resolve for Hancock and the constitution as it is and the Union as it was or words to ibat effect. - L2TTE2 P20MBI0 VALLEY, : Bm Vallky, Cai, Oct. 0th,, 1811. Editor' DeinocnU i f , In an Issue of your paptr, some time since, I noticed a partial ami Imperfect report oX this country, (Big Valley) given by two renpeetttUo citizens of Linn county, McHsra. K. 11. Purdoin and Martin Wcrtz. As I have many friends in Linn county who requeued mo to reiort on this country, 1 den! re to give them and the puUlo a true tmd correct report (so fur us developments have demount rutcil) of this Valley through tho columns of your paper. The grazing lands of the valley pro per comprise about 1,000 square milcx, while the hill Hurrouuding, which are low and generally barren of timber, comprise mnny times tills amount, all covered with a luxuriant growth of bunch graft. Tae haying land (cov ered with native gram) being confined to bottoms along the water cournen, comprise but a nmall Hrtlon of the tillable land of the country, yet a the yield per acre Is large (from 2 to 0 tow) hay is hi abundance fur all home de mands and a tmrplus which Is nulling to dtorers at from $4 to f 0 per ton In tho stack. Many thnuHaitd head of utock have , been brought to this valley to winter, os'tho facilities for keeping stock here aro good, nnd the poxt win ters mild, scarcely any or no feed being required tojkeep Mtock In good condi tion over winter, us they get very fat on the abundance of grans before winter sets In. 'Ho fur um the tame groMMes have been tried here, the yield Is large, and It U expected the coining year a large breadth of timothy and clover will be put In in cctlon not favored with the natural hay of the 'country. The til able lands now under cultiva tion are very limited, being confined chiefly to garden products, which grow very rapidly and yield enormously, potatoes 'giving 400 bushels ier acre, and other vegetables In proportion. I have squashes (which I raised from seed planted the Cth of last June) meas uring 33 Inches In length, .18 1-2 Inches in. circumference, and weighing 45 lounds. The' are fully matured and of excellent quality. These were grown without irrigation and with but little cultivation. Grain this year was put in badly on sod land and grown under many disadvantage, the worst being tho drouth, yet the yield was very fair and the quality good. From 14 to 60 bushel of wheat ier acre have uc?n harvested from land without irri gation, ..till it U thought a much larger yield 'can be obtained when water I : used on the uplands. The farmers are j very sanguine that In ordinary season irrigation is ntt necessary except on I the hill Luuls and that a large yield j can be raised of all kinda of grain. It ' I .. . .... ...1 1 . .... . !..-... ' 19 VAH1VU 111V JVilt m M.iV surplus of grain will be produced, and in the future a ;ich ngrioultnr.il reglou will be developed In this valley. The tillable lands lying along each Mde of Pitt Itlver for a distance of 40 miles, being from 1 to 8 mile In width, can all 1m Irrigated with but little expense, if, in the funure U Is found iiccvHKitry; while Ash Creek and Its tributaries will irfra nu rtiilf1t mnro tntifl Itinf ti filVikttl bly situated for irrigation, making as a suCe estimate 220 square miles of good rich bottom latnbt, which are very pro ductive when water Is used upon them. Immigration is coming in rapidly, and the valley is beginning to assume the aspott of a prosperon civilized coun try. Several good district schools are in operation, while other district are organizing and building Kchoolhouses. The city of Aiden, situated at th X. K. side of the valley, is gradually im proving, having now two yowl stores of general merchandise, blacksmith shops, boarding houses, a small drug store, two saloons and a post-otllcc the Government having established a mail line to this valley. Mrs. Lou key Sc Gibson have erected a first-class lumber mill on the B. K. side of tho valley, which is rapidly converting the fine forests of timber into excellent lumber all finding a ready sale at $15 and $20 per 1,000 feet, in the growing wants of the enterprising settlers. Timber is plenty and of good quality. Tine, fir, and cedar are the prevailing varieties. Juniper, oak, ash and quaking asp are found in limited quantities. The dairy business is assuming considerable im portance; a large supply of butter and cheese will find its way into the San Francisco market from here at a good profit to the producer. The cattle bus iness commands more capital than any other branch of business at present. Thousands of head of beef cattle will be sold this fall, and are now being dis posed of to San Francisco buyers. The mines are giving an impetus to business just now, tddding fair to rival the richest mining districts in the State. It is chiefly confined to quartz, which has assaj-ed from $16 to $08.87 per ton at the Virginia City (Nev.) mills. A quartz mill owned by the Providence Mining Co. has just commenced opera tions, and will soou determine some thing respecting the quartz in their ledge. From the secretary of that com pany, J. It. Burton, I obtain the fol lowing report: "They have been run ning a gmall raster for several months, which crushed about 1 ton of decom posed quortz per day, from which they obtained from $4,000 to $5,000 per month, losing much of the gold, as It Is very fine and hard to save. They have sunk down 51 feet on their ledge, which has widened from 4 1-2 feet to 12 feet, and still widening." There are eight well defined ledges in Ilayden Hill, and several lower down in the valley. ;I Was informed by another company that they had struck a rich sliver lode. Parties at the Virginia City mills are testing quartz taken from here by different processes, and all report favorably as to its richness. It is understood that a 24-stamp mill will be brought in soon. The above statements I have careful ly collected from fcts, and for corrob oration of the same I would refer the public to a,ny enterprising, intelligent citizen of Big Valley. Respectfully,, L. M.

The Chicago Tribune gives tho fol lowing estimate of the loss sustained by tbe late fire: The total area of the city is stated to bo over . 23,000 acres, including the annexed territory west of Western avenue, and the to tal number of buildings before the fire was about 60,000. On tbe south side the fire destroyed nearly every thing in 1st and 2nd wards and a por tion of the N. W. corner of the 3rd. Its southern limit on Michigan Ave nue was Congress street, on Clark, Harrison and Wells streets, a point below Polk. Tho area of tho burnt district is 4.10 acres. There were de stroyed 3.G00 buildings, including 1C0 stores, 20 hotels and 00 manufactur ing establishments. 21,000 persons were turned out of homes, the great est number of whom lived in the 2nd ward, west of State street, where they were closely packed. Residents in the 1st ward generally lived in ho tels or furnished rooms, except where many poor families were congregated. On the north side, 1,3U0 acres were burned out of 2,f00 acres in that di vision, leaving intact a small portion on Kenzic street, near the river, and several houses north of Division and west of Orchard street, including some of the better settled districts up Claybourne Avenue. The total num ber of building destroyed was 10, 000, including 100 manufactories ; about 70,000 persons were deprived of homes and are sojourning on the west side, or have left the city. Out of a population of 77,000 only 7,000 have houses which they can claim as their own, and there are not over COO houses standing, for tho dis trict burned over embraced most of the settled area of the north division. While the amount of ground burned over in tho west division was not great not over 100 acres and while much of that was Occupied by lumber yards, the )coplo who did live there were closely packed together.- Be tween 1,000 and 2,000 people dwelt there.
