"Wo might goon and show how such a philosophy au they are demanding 1 should be applied to our new Senator, iwrhipitparried out, entirely destroy the remedial dispensation of law; but we forbear at this time." Allany Uegkler. Yes, neighbor, you might, without Iobs of credit to yourself, have fore torne writing that whole article, the closing paragraph of which we quote above. We would feel prouder than ver of our contemporary, tho Salem - fercury, if yon could only fasteu up on' that paper the guilt (or credit), of "nosing out our new Senator's youth fill indiscretions," but until you do j fasten it upon the Mercury, we ehull ; feel jealous, for wo think wo had : about as much to do with bringing to light those "youthful indosorotions of our new Senator" as the Mercury had, and that was just nothing at all, The &ot is, neighbor, it is folly to accuse any one of "nosing" those things out they will naturally come out par ticularly when tliooffendor is a man of vaulting aniWjton and wholly Jnn" icrnpuloas." t 'tno SnUinrnr and iouy thoughts oonched in the articlo to which we have referred are found in the parallel he seeks to draw in tho cliarootcrs of Jefferson, Jackson and "our new Senator," (Hippie.) Hear him: "A Thomas Jefferson, tfhom ilicy claim as their political father; a Genoral Jackson, whom they frequent- 7 alluded to as a model leader. If ilher '6F theso worthies had been idged by the law, which theso de generate and presumptions sons hnve et up, neither would have ever readi ed power." Now, reader, what think mi of this comparison of ohnrabtor f is it not sublime? The moral ohar totcr and standing of Jefferson and Jackson brought into oomparison with thocharaoterol Ilipple-Mitcbell! And if tho two former had been judged by tho rulo, or, as our neigh bor calls it, "tho philosophy" by which the latter is songht to ho judged, 'neither would over hnye reached power." This, of course, implies that Jcfl'orsonand Jackson each abandonod Ms wile and children, tied with a par- nmonr jnuor an assumod name, maf-i t "Ticing divorced had abandoned, and becamo a bigamist; covered, seeks re ,he fraud he has per- publio by an 'hoiactcr and .natrons dead ,or at this late ..jig miglitior than the AVs liliputiun of the Jieg'utcr will f0AA nocesaary lo bring the memory'' fthsa men down to tho level of "our A.

They become mere sycophants and time servers, mere demagogues for selfish purposes. A Oood name is no ac count to them unless it pans out prof its or honors to them. Like IJuke Charters is reported to have boasted. No one could have less real regard for character than himself;, yot ho would gladly give 20,0110 for a good one because ho could immediately make double that sum by means of it. This principle as well, as the first is also applied to political parlies.!' , This is A stunning blow, under the influence of which every leading Rad ical will writhe and squirm who reads it the more forcible because it comes from one of their own house hold. M'i i Every intelligent man in tho land we care not whether he be Republi can or Democrat who reads the above extract will oall op name after name of leading Radical officials for the past twelve years who have mado the office "pan out priGts to them." In faot the mind becomes bewildered at their numbers and ho finally asks himself the question who is the Rad ical. member of Congress or Cabinet, or Collector of Customs, who has not grotim rich While in office ? Our neighbor, of tho Jlcgisfer af fects to aim his blows, in tho articlo roforrod to, at tho Democratic party, but "it is too thiiu" If any are thus doooived it will bo tho weak and Un weary.' All thinking and intelligent readers will readily understand to whom tho remarks ' apply : that the Register is only administering a oas tigation to bis own party oyer tho shoulders of tho Demooratio party. This is at onoe apparent from the fact that no Domocratio merabor of Con gress or the Cabinet ever left the po sition in any hotter circumstances, finanoially, than he entered it, for. in our Democratic administrations these places barely paid the incumbont's le gitimate expenses, and tho govern ment seldom lost a dollar by any col lector of customs or any oilier public revenues; and for a member of Con gress in those days to tnko money for his vote or lulluenco to carry a pet moasure, or favor, or enter a ring of the Credit Mobilicr stylo would have secured him a summary exit from the halls of Congress. Not so, howoyer, under Republican rulo, Scarcely a Radical representative or Senator in Congress, or Cabinet offioer who has not vacatod his plaoo greatly better off financially, and many that enterod publio lifo poor aro now rich, and Ihtlf name is legion. We fcol happy to congratulate our solvos that for a few wooks past all our labors have not been in vain. We have been particular to call tho atten tion of our neighbor from wook to week to tho venality of leading Re publicans; their utter want of moral honesty in political manors; that a number of the States hayo bcon bank rupted by Republican oarpot-bng rulu; that our l'eduiiil Government has lost. its millions by dishonest appointees, and that too many havo shown thorn selves tho very "Duko Charters" he refers to, without character, but wil ling to buy one for 20,000, for what it would rcalizo thorn. Wo rejoico that light from the Dkmochat has broken in upon the Jteyiatei- sanotiim, and that the "political" editor of that journal has the moral instinct to ap preciate it, mid the moral oourago to thrush his party, if it is over Demo cratic shoulders. niRRTtvn of thk iJKjioiH.vrir rtatk t li.VTIt 11, OIIMl'l TJ .is.

As will be seen in another oolnmn, y the Democratic, State Convention to nominate A candidate for Congress to be j-otcd for ' at the Special Ejection, on the 13th day of October next, jyill be held in Portland, on the 0th day, of September It is proposed that the primaries bo held in the several pre cincts bf this county on the 23d day of this month, and that the County Convention, to elect twelve cTelegates to tho State Convention, be held in this city, on the SOth day of this month. The State Central Commit- tee, we think acted wisely in not pre soribing the qualification of yoters to participate in the election ot delegates to the several County Conventions; and in this connection wo venture a suggestion that we think the Democ racy of the several precincts should aot upon. We do this in view of the fact that there are in the Willamette Valley, and, we doubt not, in every oounty in the State, many men here tofore identified with the Republican party that are heartily sick and tired of rings, monopolies, high protective tariffs, Chineso emmigration, and all the evils and abuses that follow in their train, who well know all those are encouraged and fostered by the Republican party and cannot be sha ken off so long as that party holds power. Our suggestion is this: That all legal voters attending the prima ries who are opposed to rings, monop olies; high protective tariffs and Chinese ommigration, and who are in favor of reform generally, and who will pledge themselves to vote for the nominee of tho Democratic State Con vention, if nominated upon a platform embodying these principles, shall be allowed to vote in the primaries for delegates to the County Convention. One other suggestion, perhaps would not, in this connection bo out of place. It is, that the voters of the several preoinats send good and substantial citizens men who have iutorests to be represented as dolegates to the County Convention, Such men are not likely to be mistakon in the mon they voto for to represent thorn in tho Stato Convention Our neighbor of tho Itegister, in last weok's issuo, oloses a short article with these lines: "Wo have sound political lungs, becauso we boloug to, and advocate the prtnciplca of, a party which is in good health." The italics are ours. This will be nows to the rcadors of tho Register, for we are sure they will search the ditorial ool umnsofthat monotonous sheet in vain for a reason why he supports tho prin ciples of tho Republican party. Ho dare not Blato tho principles of the Republican party, and then discuss the priiioiplos and fortify himself with reasons for his support, The only at tempt wo romcmbor over to havo seen him make to offer a reason for in tho causo he happened to adopt was tho "HIpple-MitchoU" ease and that was, that "Ilipplo" should bo forgiven beoaHse ho spont "twelve years in a noble effort to reform." But, to make that reason soom Jilausiblo be suppressed the fuot that five years of that time this subject of a "noble ef fort to reform" was'a bigamist, and during tho wholo time ho was practic ing a cheat and a fraud upon the pub lio by appearing under an assumed name. Mr. "Hippie's" efforts to reform, if indcod any he has mado, dates no fur ther book than the filing of his peti tion in the County Court of Multno mah to nooree him the nmo of "Mitchell." Why was not this stop taken years ago? Hod h0 done this about tho time his Pennsylvania wife's name was changed by a docroo grant ing her a divoi'co, from that time for ward, thoro would havo boon no fraud as to his name, and wo might have 'dated a reformation from that timo. Honco wo think our neighbor's reasons ouurod in this single iustanoe havo totally failed him, But, mon must exoruiso thoir reasoning faculties if they would bcoomo prollciont. Try it oftuncr neighbor thoro is great room for improvement. We havo been shown a lottor from a leading Democrat of Grant oounty, urging our lospoctcd fullow-citizon, Hon. J. W.

Editor Democrat : ! In the days not long ago it was conceded by everybody, that .the law of demand and supply should regulate tho prices of farm produots, and the farmer accepted the situation. The ordor of things has undergone a great change, as now seen, the value of a bushel of wheat in any of our great markets, and the cost of taking it there, docs not furnish ns the means of knowing what the producer may realize for the article here, and why ? ISimply because capital has monopo- lined the lines of transit, from the produeer to the consumer, holding at defiance all former laws of trade and of justice, inaugurating a scheme of gamming as unscrupulous as it is wicked. Rings are formed on grain, saoks and our tonage, and honest labor is mado a prey to tho rapacity of a horde of mercilessspeculators. The agriculturists of our country, realizing that as every other pursuit, be it in dustrial, commercial business or pro fessional, is organized, thoy, too, if they would not soon become the im poverished subjects of combination, must organize and fraternize. Hence the general and unprecedented uprising of farmers all over our country, , . . ,. . . The grange is formed upon tho axioms that the products of the soil comprise the basiB of all wealth, and that industrial happiness among all classes depends largely upon the prosperity of this maternal and para mount interest. The main incentive to tho establishment of the ordor and the multiplication of granges is found ed upon the acknowledged principle that unity of action is necessary to sccuro success, and that to make suc cess progressive this unity must bo complete and enduring. T'ue . order will labor to benefit tle entire DOdy politio, but to do '.'',s most effectively V. .a address itself first to the defense and promotion of the great industrial intorests ot tho country, which are agricultural. It has no politics of partisan character; does not seek office; is indiscriminate in sects and sexos, and knows no ring except it may be the "wedding ring." It pro poses to give its members exact and trustworthy information about crops, markets and all humbugs. It will labor to Bhow them how they may raise fifty bushels of wheat where they have heretofore raised but thirty: and also how they ean best get that wheat to market. And should rings and corporations throw themselves in the way of this work, it may bo bad tor the rings and corporations ; for the order moans business. Somo of its general objects may bo stated in brief as follows : 1st. Tho paramount object is the ennobling of labor and the fraternizing of the producing classes. 2d. Mutual instruction and the lightoning of labor by diffusing a hot ter knowledgo of the aims of labor. 3d. Social culture. 4th. Mutual relief in sickness. 6th. Prevention of cruolty to ani mals, .-.' 0th . Prevention ot litigation. 7th. Bringing more nearly togothor the producer and consumer. 8th. The ovorthrow ot tho credit system. i 9th. Building tip and fostering our homo industries. 10th. Mutual proteotion to husband nian against sharps and middlemen. The way in which tho ordor pro 'poses to accomplish the objeots. might bo of intorcst to your readers, but I am admonished that it does much of its work with closed doors and its astonishing success thus far is attribu table maiuly to the privacy of its counsels. I am porsnadod that no important business project can be oarrlod forward to success, amid con flicting intoresta, when the plans of its projectors aro mado a matter ot pub lic gossip. 1' armors in sympathy with this movement, and desiring to form gran ges in their neighborhood, can obtain all necessary information and assist ance by addressing Deputy W. J. Campbell, East Portland, or Spooial Deputy M. W, Gairotson, Albany, Oregon. , , ... ,.. Gakiu!XSO' Albany, Angust, 13, 1873.

The ball, which was a large one, passed through the calf of the left leg, and into the inside of the right leg, splintering the shin bone, but not exactly breaking it. The wound is a very severe one. ( Mr. Wells, of Walla Walla, writes Bishop Morris, of Portland, nnder date of July 31st: "Our dwelling house burned down yesterday after- 1 noon. In less than ten minutes from Ithe first alarm the fire drove us from 'he house. Little else besides the viiano was saved. Loss to the school 1,500, at the less estimate; to the teachers, $2,000 worth of books and (lothing. One of them saved noth iag but her Bible, Prayer-book and pjrse. A fire broke out in the city of Willa Walla at 8 p. m. last Saturday and burned one block, occupied principally by livery stables, owned by the following: . Hunt & Graham, George Ruckle and J. C. Colley. The fire started in a small stable in the rear of Grizzly's blacksmith shop. Fortunately the wind turned at the commencement of the fire and blew down the street &r the whole upper f't of the town, would have gone. It was the work of an incendiary. A man was seen by a lady lighting a match and starting the fire. Two horses were burned to death. At a moderate estimate, Walla Walla valley has half a million bushels of grain for shipment abroad, and estimating its surplus products of all descriptions, one million bush els is within hounds. This immense surplus tends to depress the market, and coupled with a lack of facilities for moving the crop, wheat is dull at forty cents a bushel. . To team Jhis surplus grain to the river is out of the question, and so for the present, or at least until the railroad is com pleted, the prospect for the farmers is rather gloomy. A telegram was received on Satur day by a gentleman in Olympia, from Governor Salmon, in San Francisco, informing him that the organization of the Washington Mining and Transportation Company had been fully completed, and that 765 acres of coal lands, .hear Tenino, have been bought and paid for by them. Also, that one or more members of the company would leave for Olympia on August 16th, authorized to ne gotiate with the people of Olympia in relation to their contemplated railroad from the mine to this place, and if the people of Olympia do as well by this company as promised the N. P. R. R. Co., the road will be in running order in twelve months. ' The Courier says: Rather a serious affray took place on the line of the railroad, about three miles back of Steilacoom, on Friday. It appears that the time-keeper of the different gangs had some trouble with one of the Chinamen engaged on the roadj and talked to tho Mongolian, in a style which John did no appreciate, whereupon the Chinaman knocked his "boss" down and beat him severe ly. ' This happened on ThursSif t Friday morning the tirae-keeper, ac companied by several white employes of the road, made a raid upon the Chinese camp with pistols and clubs, causing several of the Mooneyes to bite the dust. The first report re ceived was that five of the Chinamen were killed, but since we have learn d that the only damage done was in sixteen of them receiving severe in juries. , TKtKOUAI'UlC GLEANINGS.
