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.

$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

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

FRIDAY......
' " WHEELE THE TAXES GO.
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,

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.

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

all frame buildings.
