Our neighbor, of the Register, de voted over a column of that paper last week to the special benefit of the edi tor of the Mercury, at whose devoted head he hurls such missels as too names of "Floyd, Jeff Davis and Ste phens," and to the weight and force of those he adds all their treason, then, to cap the climax, be lays sacral igious hand upon the skeletons of the "starved union soldiers," iu Southern prisons and ' hurls them." We beg pardon of the JUercxtry for what ever notice we may bestow this week upon the article in question, but it U too dainty a repast for us to past by witn out appropriating to our own use a morsel or two. 'The Register says: 'For instance, the monstrous thieveries of Floyd ; the perjury of Jeff Davis and other sworn members of Congress and United Statea officers." Well, neigh bor, was Mr. Floyd shown to have ap propriated publio funds to his own use-and if so, how much f Does it equal Hodge's defalcation f Mur phy's or his predecessor, whose name we cannot now recall? Bullock, Scott, and scores of others whose names can be hunted up? Tell ns the amount, neighbor. Why, Mr. Aegtster, in the past twelve years Republican office hold ers federal, State' and municipal- have stolen more publio funds by thousand fold than the Democrats stole in seventy years. This is so notorious that, if you persist in such declarations about Democratic thievery, the people will begin to iTimiIjI wiUllijjiTii IT" if net your sanity. We think it would be difficult to convict a man of perjury for any act done after he had ceased to act in the official capacity. But, air, in this as in the matter of stealing, your party should move cut ot glasa houses be fore they commence throwing stones. The Fifth Article ot the Amend ment to the Constitution ot the United States says: No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, oolcss "on a present ment or indictment of jl grand jury except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, the militia, ete Nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law." And in the 6th article we find, that In all criminal prosecutions, the ac cused shall enjoy the right to a fpeeJy and public trial by an impartial Jury, oi tne state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed." It is well known that during the late war there were ten thousand men not connected with either the land or naval forces, or the militia who were deprived of their liberty without due proeess of law; many of whom were held to answer for crime without in dictment by a grand jury, and none ot them that were tried were allowed a publio trial or a trial by jury, and all these m en were citizens, of what yon are pleased to call the "loyal States," and we think not one ot those failed to furnish a representative to some one of those military baatiles. Now, Mr. Register, every man who was acting nnder an oath to support the Consti tution of the United State, and gave an order tor th irrut nf civilian committed perjury; even' man making such an arrest, so acting, perjnrcd himself, and so with the keepers of oca prisoners; and with the officer ordering a military commission to try such citizens, and every one partici pating in the trial all, if acting under an oath to support the Constitution committed perjury. And, sir, in the the caseshjrbere the accused were by such tribunals condemned to death and executed, the crime of murder was added to the crime of perjury. But this is not all, Mr. JUnuter. it is perhaps not to yon, bnt to the coontry that to the perjury in seperably connected with these mili lary commissions there was added the crime of subornation of perjury in or der to secure a conviction, and one such suborned witness was since in dicted for the crime of perjury, and if we are not mistaken, convicted. The Jteguter further says: r The barbarous system sanctioned by the authorities of the so-called confedera cy, of slowly starving Union prison ers to death." One of the Ten Com mandmenta reads "Thod shall not bear false witness against thv noVh. bor." o J -'o Where is the evidence that the confederate authorities "sanctioned" the starving of Union prisoners ? and where is the evidence, except by sub orned witnesses, that Union prisoners were starved at all ? There was abandonee of evidence that the Con federates bad not a supply of -wholesome food for well men, and next to none suitable for their own sick, or the sick prisoners on their hands. L We would further say to our neizh- jbor, that it is a part of the history of the times of which we write that the ederal authorities are responsible for nine-tenths of the mortality at tending Union prisoners in confeder ate hands. The confederate authori ties were anxious to exchange prison ers and urged as a reason their ina Vility to properly care for and treat iliesick and wounded, but the Feder al authorities refused to excltange. In connection with' this brauch of the subject, we would ask our neighbor to explain this why.it was that the ratio of federal prisoners who died in confederate hands was 15 to 22 con federate prisoners who died in feder el bands Such are the facts shown at the war ofSce in Washington. But why this disparity against ua ia the mortality of prisoners of war? . i PATRON OS" nt'MBANORT. We published in last week's Demo en AT the preamble, oonstitutlon and by-laws of lbs' National Orange of the above order, which -we earnestly commend to the careiul attention of our readers. The policy oKthe Fed eral administration for the last twelve years has been to encourage, promote and protect the interest ot capital at the expense of the agricultural inter est of the country. The protective tariff policy is a grinding system of taxation upon the farmer, tneohanlo and planter, for the beuefit of the moneyed interests of the country en gaged in manufacturing. The money ed interest is again encouraged and protected in our National Bank system beyond anything ever before known in any country as the result of leglsla tloc Again, the moneyed interest is protected by the exemption ot U. S. bonds from taxation when owned by the citizen as other property is owned and taxsd. The carrying trade of almost all the Sutes of the Union is in the hands of monopolies who have mercilessly oppressed the husbandman wherever the soil is tilled. The agriculturists thronghout the Union have awakened to the faot that forbearance wkh them is do longer a virtue. They are determined no longer to be the hewers of wood and drawers of water at the bid and call of him whose property ia exempt from taxation or to make an equal division of bis farm products with the subsi dined carrier. - If the energies ot this organisation are properly direoted it will prove itself a power in the land to bring In to harmony and con sen the adapta tion of capital to the wanu of labor. Our varied agricultural interests Is the basis upon which all other interests rests. Our mechanical and roanufao luring arts are an incident, and the hand-maid of agriculture, and upon these depend our commercial interests and prosperity. Therefore whstever of protection and fostering care gov ernment has to bestow let it be giv en to the primary interest, by ex empting those engsged in it, as far as possible, from the payment of extor tionate import duties upon everything they consume not the product of tbetr own land. CENTRAL. nUVKKJiXAD. The masses of the Republican party seem to have completely yielded the right to President Grant to dictate to the party in the several States who they shall select as candidates for Governors, members of Congress, etc. It seems yet undetermined who be will favor for Governor of Massachu setts, but we apprehend it will be well understood when the State Conven tion meets to make a nomination. A strong delegation of Texan politicians in the interest of the opnosins candi dates for the Republican nomination lor Governor of that State Throck morton and Davis were recently in Washington to ascertain which of the two would "prove most acceptable" to but highness. Grant ia a man of few words, and most likely be will send the whole batch home without iotimatinz on whom the lot will fall. They must wait until a Stale Conven tion ia called and then light as to who will "prove acceptable to the adminis tration at Washington" will , burst in upon their benighted visions. That same torturing suspense ia bow hold ing the different Republicans of Ore gon who have , Congressional aspira tions. The masses, in the meantime. do not worry generally they feel well assured they have but little to do in the choice of candidates from their own ranks most of them hive 1. ready yielded to the admonition from the power at Washington "to attend their own business and let pol itics alone:" the more loyal accept the situation and feel it their highest patriotic duty to go the polls . and vote tor the man thus pointed out ; but the more intelligent and substan tial Republicans in Oregon, we feel well assured, will uot consent longer to occupy this servile position. In the choice of a representative in Con. gress they will consult the interests of Oregon, caring but little whether their choice is or is not "acceptable to the administration at Washington." "An anti-ChinenA irlnh mmMu of colored men, is to be organized." The above we take from the Oreoo- nian of 3 let ult. ! As the Republican party captured the. "colored brother" some years ago, it seems be ixnowabout to become master of the situation, or, in other words, force the Republican party to adopt its policy to suit his views. The "colored brother" ia naturally averse to labor, but" when his necessities are such that be must work he seeks such as u least la- borious and least exposed to the incle Y mency of the season: and such is the in clination of the Chinamen; hence the colored man sees now what the Demo cratic party saw and proclaimed years' ago would be the result of this influx of the pagan Chinese, encouraged and promoted by the Republican party in its treaties with the flowery King dom. We now conclude that what ever there is of friendliness : on the part ot the Republican ': press - and and politicians manifested toward' the anti-Chinese movement is in defference to the prevailing, sentiment of ; the colored people on, this coast and . sot the white laboring class. -: : . ; C.

Saturday, August 2d, is a dsy long to be remembered in the annals of Portland, as the occasion of the most disastrous conflagration that has 'visi ted tlio Paoitto coast since the dread ful tiro of 1854 in Sacramento, Culi iornia. The awful holocaust of De cember last was reckoned a terrible calamity, but beside this last dire dis aster it siuka to utter nothingness. Then men stood aghast at the sudden ness of the blow, but recovering from that paralysis, began with quick ener gy to restore the waste places. The work of reoonstruolion bad but fairly commenced. There were the neces sary delays in rebuilding portions of the burnt district, and to this single circumstance is due the preservation of six milliona of property and the salvation of our entire city. We speak advisedly, had block 77 at the foot of Alder street in which the December fire first started been oc cupied by buildings of any descrip tion whatsoever, all Portland would be in ashes to-day. So it is that a great misfortune supplemented by the feebleness of humanity was made to subserve a most besetloient end. We have carefully revised and cor rected the losses sustained by the late fire and the amounts of insurance, and find that the losses and Insurance stand about as foltows: Total loss, $1,182,825; total insurance, 1258,000; totsl loss above the amount of insur ance, D27 ,025. So far as we have been able to ascer tain, the following Insurance Com panies have sustained losses as follows: London, Liverpool fc Globe, $41,250; Fireman 'a Fund, $30,000; Union, $30, 000; Imperial. $CO,0U0; Horn Mutu .al, 30,000; Pbceoix, $20,000; Total, $211550. The city ha not yet recovered from the effects of the destructive fire of last December, but that dwindles into comparative insignificance in presence of this one. Not only are the losses in this fire several times greater than those of December, but tbey are harder to bear in proportion to their amount. The district burnt over was one of the most densely crowded part of the city, and the prorrt wa to a very great extent owned by person of tnoder,i means, who had nothing but what waa invested in the property destroyed.. Also a great many families resided within the doomed blocks, who having only time to escape from the flames, lost every thing they had in the world besides the clothing they wore in their flight. Upon such persons the calamity tails with peculiar weight. Many large manufacturing establishments were consumed, to the creat d sin see. and. in some Instances, tne financial ruin of tne proprietor, t ortunes which bad been accumulated with years of toil and enterprise, melted away in a mo ment. The city can ill afford to lose such aa the large sah and door facto ry of John P. Walker, Eq., the lum bering and planing mills of Stimson ds Bosser, the foundry of Smith Bros., the flooring mill of Geo. W. Vaughn, the wood-turning works of W. F. Wilcox, and many that are now in ashes. By the destruction "of these establishments a very large number of persons are thrown out of employ ment, and extensive and productive industries are lost to the community. A great number of store, some of them filled with exteosive stocks ot goods, were consumed; and, in many cases, we are informed, the insurance was barely sufficient to meet liabili ties, leaving the proprietor with noth ing; and In not a tew instances there was no insurance at all on either build ingor stock. This ia certainly the roost terrible calamity that ever befell Portland, and it would be idle to say it will not have a damaging effect upon the pros perity of the city. This effect, bow ever, is liable to be overrated. The ground itself is sufficient security upon which to raiso the means already at command; aod we have been informed by quite a number of the lot bolder that they propose to rebuild immedi ately. A few, ot coarse, will suc cumb, but the msjority will have their buildings an again as soon as the ma terials oan be got on the gtouod and tho work done. The prompt action of the Mayor in making provision to relieve the im mediate suffering of those who were rendered homeless by the 'fire, and the alacrity with which the citizens to whom that duty was intrusted under took the task of looking after the sufferers, have tended greatly to de prive the conflagration of it most painful feature and to encourage the sufferers to exert themselves to repair their losses. ; - . . , . There is much speculation, and in onr opinion much extravagant asser tion, m regard to attempts by incen diaries to extend the fire during the time it raged with greatest fury. That the fire was set by some person intentionally appears from all the fact highly probable, but that there was a preoonoerted plan entered into by a number ot persons to destroy the city, we think is extremely onfikely. In the excited state of the publio mind such a story' wonld find many persons rejjdy to believe it aod to ac cept almost any statement tending to prora it true. ,. .", : . ' . it BTATBJ CENTRAL.

We are glad to note that the farmers of this coast are waking np. They oome to the rescue as though they meant business. Already Oregon has twenty-five granges instituted, with many more awaiting the organising officer. Judge "Gsrrestoo, of Iowa, Special Deputy of the ' National Grange, reached this place last Mon day evening. On his way to us he organized the State Grange of Cali fornia, and he I now among a to do a like work for Oregon; but for the present will gladly assist in organizing subordinate granges, when desired to do so by hi brother farmer.

ACIUrAlr"-wTltAl-" Since Mr. Slater's letter appeared in the publio print in reference to his pay as representative in the 42d Con gress from Oregon, the radical seem very mncb exercised to know what we now have to say about the "back pay steal." Well, we hav the same to aay about it now that we have always said, which is to this effect: the scheme waa conceived in sin and brought forth in iniquity. Mr. Slater's case ia very diSerent from President Grant's in more respects than one. I resident Grant labored to secure the passage of the bi!; Mr. Slater labored to defeat it. President Grant ap proved the bill, by whUb it became a law, and w'uboot which it could not have become a law; Mr Slater has never, to our knowledge, approved it. President Grant lost nothing .but gained $25,000 a year, by taking bis psy in aooordano with its provisions; Mr. Slater lost $223 by it. Some or our radical cotemporaries ssy the Committee did. right in computing Mr. Slater's mileage by way of Boise City and Kelton. Why did they not so compute Mr. Mallory'a, Mr. Smith's, Mr. Corbett's, Mr. Williams', and Mr. Kelly's mileage? That rout waa open as much to those Senators and Representatives as it was to Mr." Sla ter, and it waa an much "the usual trav eled route" for them as it was for him. The route Eaat, by way of Boise and Kelton, is not "the usual traveled route" for the peoplo of Eastern Ore gon and Washington Territory any moro than it is for those living in the Willamette valley. Notwithstanding Mr. Slater took bis pay under the pro visions of this late law, bis pay for tho term .was less than that of any Representative in Congress from Ore gon since 1856. Why be should serve for less we cannot see," for ' certainly he ha done as much as any other. . ' ia naa umn a wnrklnv mnmtatr ot tha Mat Mr. B. Roop, of Salem, ha in hi collection of curiosities a pair of small jaws. which be faila to recog nize, nor can any of the Salem natur alist who study auch thing classify them. . They aeera to be a perfect set of jaws, rather small, and not of ordinary shape. Mr. Roop wonld be glad if some naturalist would ex amine lis jaw and tell him of them where they belong, what class, etc. We would think, from the descrip tion given by the Salem paper, that it ia the tame jaw-bone of one of the Philistines which the as nsed whan he slew Sampson. . . !The GoVrGrover"wa laid np last week at Portland for repairs. This boat baa seen pretty rough service since she commenced running, and has done an immense amount of good work for the company.
