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"

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

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

the loading spirits of the
Republican party as that couched in
the following paragraph, selected from
a column editorial in last week's issue
under the caption of "Good and bad
political character:"
"But men fail of success in publio
waiKB giHcu men at inai occause
they sacrifice their integrity. 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

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

TUB COMING CO) 'CATIONS.
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. Baldwin, to become a

action of Vho Stato Domocratio Con
vention, Jutlgo Baldwin is a Domo
erat of tho strajghtcst soot and is fully
oonipotent to servo tho pooplo in any
onpaoity. However, it is hardly prob
ablo that ho will consent to beooma a

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.

A few days since, while a company
of soldiers were having their arms
inspected at the garrison at Walla
Walla, one of the soldiers accidental
ly discharged his revolver, shooting
another soldier through both legs.
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. ,

A large fire took plaoe in Portland
(Me.), last Soturdoy,' beginning at
the wharf. Three steamers were
burned in the stream. The sheds of
the New York steamers were all
burned. The Gait and Atlantio
wharves were burned. J. he stewar
dess of the steamer Dirango was
drowned and others are reported so.
The total loss is stated at . $600,000;
the insurance at $500,000.
The steamer Wannassett, running
on tne Jotomao r.iver, between
Washington and Curryman, took fire
on the Slh, at Chattalon Landing,
and was destroyed. She had about
150 passengers, and some twenty
lives were lost. Six bodies were
found up to 2 o'clock three white
ladies, one child, and two colored
children. There is no wharf at
Chattalon Point, where the steamer
burned, and the landing is made by
the use of small boats. One of those
was being unshipped for this purpose
when the cry of fire was heard, and
the flames came with such force that
a panic ensued at onco. Passengers
made a rush for tne uoat mat was
being lowered, crowding it full, when
the tackling broke or become un

the river.. The terror-stricken
passengers were forced by the flames
to jump overboard, and the crew
threw them life-preservrs. The people
on shore did all they could to assist
in saving life, but their means of
rescue were unequal to tne terriDie
