TO THE DEMOCRATS OF LINN
, COUNTY. I
In view of the fast approaching
State and National elections, and of
the necessity of a successful organiza
tion of the Democracy for thol mo
mentous contests, we, the undersigned
Committee, respectfully and earnest
ly recommend that the Democrats of
Linn county meet at their Toting
places in each Precinct, on
Monday, the 8th day of January, 1872,
at 1 o'clock p. m., for the purpose of
forming Precinct Clubs and effecting
a more thorough organization of the
Democratic party of Linn county.
By united action in this matter good
results must surely follow.
This call is made at the nrgent re
quest of many Democrats.
M. V. BR0W5,
A. PARKER,
A. W. STANARD,
Democratic Central Committee of Linn County.
DEMOCRATS, OBGASIZE !
We publish to-day a call of the
County Central Committee for the
organization of Democratic Clubs
throughout this county. The necessi-
ty of an early and successful organiza
tion must be apparent to every Dem
ocrat. The State campaign of J 872
u hard upon us, and the battle will be
a fierce and unrelenting one on the
rrnrt rvf thu pnprav. and we must be
I - r
prepared to combat them to the bit
ter end. Radicalism affects to be
lieve,. that the Democratic party is
dead. Let us show them that the
Democratic party is vigorous and un
dismayed, and with the best pros
pects and brightest hopes of success, is
ready to renew the battles for their
country with unabated zeal, and that
it 'will fight on until victory crowns
its efforts.
. One of the most powerful engines
in securing a victory is a complete,
compact and thorough organization of
Our forces an enrollment and enlist
ment of all those who expect to vote
the Democratic ticket and who desire
the success of its pure and time-honored
principles.
Linn county has for years borne the
proud distinction of being the "banner
county of Oregon Democracy. In
years past her gallant Democratic
hosts have rallied around the old stan
dard and borne it high above all other
ensigns. Shall we not now be true
to our glorious record in this renpect
and again be the foremost in the fight
And the first in victory ? Or shall
we trail our banner in the dust or
yield it to some other county which
has heretofore been inferior to. us in
prestige ? We trust the invincible
Democracy of Old Linn will, do their
whole' duty in this respect in our
county.
. The 8th day of January has been
selected because that is a day sacred
to every Democratic heart in our land.
It is the anniversary of that bloody
battle which immortalized our great
Democratic chieftain, Andrew Jack
son, and which witnessed the last hu
miliation of proud Britains' warriors
on American soul. , It is a day which
American patriots are proud to honor
and one which all lovers of our once
glorious Republic 'can most appropri
ately observe by initiating measures
for. our country's restoration to that
purity and greatness for which Jack
son fought and for which the heroes
of New' Orleans bled. Let ns then
meet on that day, and, by the memo
ry of the chieftain of New Orleans and
bis gallant compatriots, renew our
fealty to our country's cause and our
pledges to assist in its redemption
from the oppressions and corruptions
oS Radicalism.. ,
Sitscz the : forced resignation of
Governor Bollock of Georgia, who it
is generally considered feathered his
nest - w 11 with greenbacks, and his
exit from the State, Georgians are
sending forth tie following plaintive
appeal: -, -
O, pive us back our Bullock, '' :
From hoofs to horns complete
He fattened et our public crib,
-Aoj now he is our meat.
, SAM. E. MAY A DEFAULTER
Embezzlement of (14,000 ! And lore to
be Discovered !
Five Indictments Bay Been round by
the Grand Jury or Marion County I
We learn from the Herald of last
Tuesday that on the convening of
the Grand Jury of Marion county at
the late session of the Circuit Court,
at Salem, Gov. Grover presented the
facts showing the defaults and em
bezzlements of Samuel E. May, late
Secretary of State "under Radical
rule." ' '"'
Four classes of : these thefts were
shown to sum up to about $14,000, as
far as discovered, and yet, owing to
the confused condition of the State
accounts and the modes adopted ot
doing, or rather undoing, the public
business, the ascertaining of all losses
is not now possible.
The five indictments found ars as
follows: ' ,
1. Larceny, of $3,549 79; taken
from the 5-per cent.' fund arising from
the sales ot United States public
lands.
Larceny, of $1,857 40; taken
from the 5-per cent. fund.
S. Embezzling the proceeds of the
sales of seven hundred and forty-two
copies of the Code, authorized to bo
sold at $G per volume, $4,452.
Larceny of $1,152 00, School and
University funds, arising from the sale
of lands.
; 5. Larceny of $2,635 29, paid to
May as Secretary on account of sup
port of persons in the Insane Asy
lum, and not paid to the Treasurer as
the law requires.
All the money paid to May as one
of the Board of School Land Com
missioners cannot be now ascertained,
as that Board "under Radical rule"
kept no record of the deeds executed
by them.
From the Salem Mercury of the
same date we glean the following:
The aggregate total of the thefts
perpetrated by the last Republican
administration was ascertained to the
satisfaction of the Republican Grand
Jury to be $13,663 4o! And this is
not all. Other developments are be
in made involving additional sums
stolen. What now becomes of the
plea set up by the Statesman and Ore-
gonian that May's bond amply cover
ed bis thelts t 1 be actual total of
losses to the State through Republi
can thieving will not fall short of $30,-
000. May's bond only calls lor ten
thousand. And what now becomes
of the assertion of the same papers
that these things-were being held
back till just before the election. The
fact is that the matters against the
last administration were being hur
ried up with all possible dispatch. In
tact the stale .Department came into
possession of May's letters ordering
the appropriation of the 5-per cent.
money, m ban Jrranciseo, on Thurs
day preceding the con vention of the
Circuit Court on Monday. The fix
ing, so lar, of the crimes upon their
perpetrators with defiaiteness and cer
tainty was the result of a tedious pro
cess of development, lhat Woods
did not participate in the 5-per cent.
robbery it is nardly reasonable to
suppose. i be .Department at W asu
ington, addressing Gov. Woods, gave
notice that there was to the credit of
this State the sums soon after stolen
by May. What right had May with
this correspondence while Wood was
at home in this city ? It is not prob- j
able that May robbed Wood's box at
the postoffice, nor is it probable that
w oods never knew ot the receipt of
the 5-per cent, fund from Washington.
There is no explanation that we can
see, consistent with Wood's inno
cence.
We are informed that Mr. Foudray
of Jacksonville, was over a week ago
sent to Utah with a requisition from
Gov. Grover lor May's arrest, and he
has doubtless ere this secured his
prize. It is probable that before
many moons shall have passed the el
egant, dignified, and high-toned Sam.
will be seen marching up "May Ave
nue," (which leads to the Penitentia
ry,) between two guards, and that he
will be afforded an opportunity to
learn a trade which will enable him to
earn an honest living, and thus relieve
the Radical party from the necessity
of placing him in a position where he
can steal one.
- TEE MONOPOLY QUESTION.
The Willamette Farmer of last
week has the following sensible words
in regard to the monopoly question,
the discussion of which will doubtless
soon be forced upon us by the opera
tions of a certain character who is at
tempting to grasp the entire carrying
and transportation interests of Ore
gon :, " We cannot lose sight of the
too trasparcnt desire on the part of
some to establish a monopoly in this
valley, both on land and water, that
will soon do more toward ' depopulat
ing the State than it is now doing to
ward , bringing population here. A
reasonable greed for grain we might
easily look over, but one cannot easily
lose sight of the 'ways that are dark
and tricks that are vain' for which
some men are peculiar, just now be
ing played on the people of this val
ley for the purpose of establishing, as
we believe, a grinding monopoly over
them. If the people, in their next
Legislature, find it necessary to pass
laws protecting themselves from mo
nopolists, we hope to hear no cant on
'unfriendly legislation.' On the Pa
cific coast we have what is termed the
bed-rock, and if somebody, some , of
these fine days, finds himself on that
startum, in a sitting posture, he will
be only following in the footsteps of
too many that have made a desperate
grasp at wealth, and fallen their
own carelessness."
WILLIAMS IN TBS CABUfET.
. The longagony is over .and Old
Flaxbrake who has for the past eight
months been a political mendicant,
bogging fr an official appointment
has at last succeeded in rooting out
Attorney General Akerman and se
curing that appointment for himself.'
This is as it should bo. No man hns
been a more sorvilo tool of Grant than
has Williams, and no xnan has eaten
more dirt to secure an Executive
appointment. Williams, by his pre
scriptive partizan legislation and his
champion efforts in behalf of the re
construction infamies of Congress, has
earned a front seat in the Radical
councils, and it is emminently fitting
that he should receive the reward of
his labors. He is now placed in a
position where he can again manifest
his hatred of tho Southorn people by
deeds of persecution, and where he
can more successfully assist his equally
tyrannical but more Ignorant master
in his schemes for place and plunder.
Williams in Grant's Cabinet is a strik
ing illustration of tho degeneracy of
modern politics.
Gen. Joseph Lane. We learn
from tho Rosebnrg Plaindcaler that
on last Friday Gen. Joseph Lane, the
pioneer Statesman of Oregon, reached
the ripe age of three score years and
ten and is yet possessed of excellent
health and in the enjoyment of those
rare mental powers which have made
for him a name among the few great
and patriotio men of our once glori
ous republic. May ho yet live to see
his beloved country ,Jbr which he has
so ably battled both on the forum
and on the field of carnage, restored
to its former purity and greatness.

have nothing to say against Republi
cans ior any acts ot tyranny, usurpa
tion, villiany, corruption, fraud, ex
travagauco, robbery, murder, pillage,
arson, malleanence in office, over-rid
ing of the Constitution, ignoring of
the laws and trampling upon rights,
so characteristic of Republicans when
they are in power.
ItcHolccd, That it is the duty of the
poor, and those who live by labor, to
support the rich ; preserve tho nation,
and, without a murmur, continue pay
ing taxes for the benefit of bond
holders, bank owner and other pro
tected aristocrats, unknown in this
country till the Republican party
came in power.
JieMilned, That tho object of this
platform is to win Republican votes
by conMtructing our platforms to dis
please Democrats and pleane Repub
licans, and a few of whom will vote
tor ns, especially if a majority of
Democrats uo not.

weary of their uscleftsllvcft, laying hold
of every newly-Invented htimulant to

blaming their fate when they dare not

upon the thinned battalions of the
dying Confederacy, and has no more
apprehension of the great Republic
which he represents as Chief Magis
trate, than the worm has for the dead
hero upon whose body it grows fat.
J. M. Blakely, of the Dalles, in at
tempting to convey Government
freight from Eugene to Fort Klam
eth by the Central Military Road
over the Cascade mountains, was
hemmed in by a snow storm for 20
days near the Deschutes river, where
1C of bis mules died, leaving him
unable to go further )with his teams.
He manage to reach the Dalles in a
starving condition, after great hard
ship. The Jlountaineer tells us about
it. 1 - '
It is said that the heavy snow storms
on the plains have proved terribly
destructive to human life. A battal
ion of infantry was snowed up near
Helena, Montana, and most of the
men were severely frozen. A num
ber of cattle herders and buffalo hun
ters in Kansas were frozen to death,
and a serious loss of life by snow
slides in the Wabsatch canyon, in
Utah, are reported.
Just as the bill to give females the
right to vote was about on its final
passage in the Washington Territory
Legislature, some incorigible cuss
moved to strike the "fe" out of the
word "female," in the bill, which
carried by 6 majority; and thus the
women suffragists must suffer and be
silent over there, as usual.
John Dougherty, a saloon keeper
at Corvallis, fired jthree pistol Bhots
at a deck hand of the Fanny Patton
while shfl was lying at Corvallis, la3t
Friday. No damage was done, but
the shootist was arrested. Cause: a
woman whom both parties "loved not
wisely but too well."
The latest reports put the Demo
cratic majority in the Texas election
at 30.000. It is the most brilliant
victory which has been chronicled for
a long time. -
In the Senate of the United States
