A TEMPEST IN A TEAPOT. Now tbat Henry Wilson, Vice Pres ident of the United States, has writ ten a letter to Mayor Stokoly, of this city, in which he earnestly requests the Mayor, to forego his hostility to Col. A. Jv. M dure as a Itepuwican candidate for tho State Senate, this, little local matter is invested with a national importance that warrants me in giving a brief resume of tho situa tion. The fourth senatorial district of Philadelphia has for the past three years been represented in tho State Legislature by Col. A. K. M'Clure. In October, 1871, Hon. Geo. Connell was elected for his fifth term, by a Republican majority of 7,341, and two weeks thereafter he died. When the- Legislature met in January fol lowing, Speaker Broadhead issued his writ for a special election, to take place on the 30th of January. At that election Alexander K. M'Clure, running as an .independent Uepubli can, on a platform that embraced "local, political and municipal re generation, but which would not en danger Republican success in the Senate, or in the State or Jmion" 'was elected over the regularly nomi nated candidate of the party by a majority of 210. The term of Senator M'Clure hav ing expired at the last session, a va cancy was created for which the Re publicans and Democrats made party nominations. The nominee of the Republican parly withdrew a few weeks ngo from the canvass and the convention is to be re-convened on next 'Wednesday to make another nomination. In tho meantime quite a respectable number of gentlemen, regardless of party affiliations have united in a request to Col. M'Clure to again become a candidate, while leading politicians, from Vico Presi dent Wilson, down to James M. Sel lers private citizens are laboring assiduously to bring about his nomi nation by tue Hepubiican caucus next week. The Governor's Secretary 31. S. Quay, State Treasurer Robert W. Mackey, Sheriff . Ellott, District At torney Mann, City" Treasurer Wicl enor. and plain William H. Kemble if I except his title as Bank Presi dent are the gentlemen most active in the effort to make M'Clure the party candidate. Against them are Mayor Stokley, Alderman MeMullin and tho Hon. Sam. Josephs, who are working like bees in a tar barrel amiinst M'Clure. Precisely what tho result will be cannot be predetermined. In the event of the Convention nominating a candidate who is in accord with the Legislative record of -Col. M'Clure, this gentleman will not be a candi nate. If in tool of the ring is put forward Col. M'Clure will yield to the request of those who invito him to become a candidate and will enter into tho contest with a determination to win. If Mackey, Kemble, and Quay cannot get away with the May or and his two Lieutenants they are confessedly bad managers. BUTTER, ONE DOLLAR. President Grant and his Premior purchase all the butter they use from the Darlington brothers, farmers in Delewaro county, in this fctate, It is no rish-y tnle I tell in announcing that the President and his first Sec retary pay one dollar per pound for this Pennsylvania butter, and all ex press charges. Jared and Jesse Darlington who furnish the head of the nation with butter, mako no con cealment of their preference for Grant as a third-term President;. and here let me observe is an element likely to enter into the national can vass and what a strong element butter frequently is that may mako Grant the candidate of the Grangers, as well as of the brcad-and-(tfcr brigade. If in order to maintain a dollar a pound for butter, it becomes necessary to again elect Grant, what butter producing farmer is there in this county who will not stand by Jared and Jesse, of JJeleware county, in their Presidential proferment. Pennsylvania's president. The sober second thought leads the more considerate of Gen. Hart ranft's friends in this city to regard the action of the Harnsburg Conven tion, in formally preseriting Gover nor Hartranft as tho elect of Penn sylvania for President in 187G, as premature and of doubtful propriety. That act, they believe, niukes Gov. Hartranft n public man whoso every past, present and future official act will be closely scrutinized. Ono of his most circumspect friends re marked to me that: To blindly servo the politicians who surround him is to discount himself before the nation he seeks to serve; while to refuse pardon to the Russell's of political society is to vex beyond the limit of forbearance, the party managers up on whose favor ho is dependent. ' ST. UAI1IE. The reward of $25,000 off. r-d by the United States for tho capture of John H. Surratt was sufficiently htrge to tempt Henry Benjamin St. Marie to disclose the whereabouts of his friend Surra'.t. St. Marie died in this city a few days ago, as poor as a toothless hor.30 fed on chaff, and as friendless as a mangy cur, covered with f'cas. Tiie Government paid St. Marie only $10,000 of the pledged reward, ihus leaving a nice nest egg in tho Treasury for the human sharks, labelled claim agents, that swarm aroHiid Washington as thick as green flies around a dead monkey to scramblo for. Thomas Paul is tho most beastly man in this city; he plead guilty a few days ago to a nameless outrage upon his daughter aged 14 years, and then offered to prove drunkenness as the cause, and good character in mi tigation of the crime. District At torney Maun, however regarded it as ALBANY, OREGON, FRIDAY, OCTOCER 9, a crime that deadened evefy impulse of human sympathy and Paul was sentenced to 15 years hard labor in tho Penitentiary and a fine of $1,000. Tho purity of that child's mind cannot be restored, by any physical suffering imposed upon the brute; certainly the tormonts of boll are the punishment for all such; still I would not forget to express my gratitude to the Court that sent this man to the ponal solitude and suffer ing of his gloomy cell. INSURANCE FRAUDS. In a recent letter I told how the People's Firo Insurance Company of this city cheated Commissioner Fos ter by their borrowing stocks and bonds amounting to $100,000, which were returned to their owners imme diately after Mr. Foster left the of fice of the company upon the occa sion of his making an examination of its financial condition. I have now to record how another similar fraud was perpetrated upon the Insurance Commissioner, This time it is the Central Firo Insurance Company of Philadelphia, nnd not being able to come the borrowing dodge, tho com pany purchased five certificates in one sharo each of Peimsylvani R. R. stock, Lehigh Valley R. R., and Philadelphia &".Heading R. R.; three certificates of New Jersey Contral, and two certificates of Deloware, Lackawanna & Western R. R., mak ine; in all 20 certificates of one share each, with a par value of each share fixed at 50. Tnese certmcates, rep resenting a total par value of ?1,000, wero altered by, "raising" to repre sent a value of $128,000, and had the company retained them in their pos session the forgery might have re mained a secret; but the Union bank ing company having lost $10,000 by negotiating one of these certificates for the Insurance Company tho fraud has been made publio, and the f res ident arrested and put under $10,000 bail for procuring J. TJiceolson El bert and Chas. Ripley to do tho 'raisinij. In the meantime (jotfi- missioner Foster suspended the Cen tral and demanded the closing up. of the concern but Judge Pearson, of the Dauphin County (Jourt, overruled the action of the Commissionor and gave tho company Bix weeks' time to make good the impairment of its cap ital. If somebody connec ted . with tho concern ain't making shoes in the Penitentiary before the close of Judge Pearson's six weeks. I will con fess to my being a poor: prophet,- As tins company purpos ed branching out in flashy style all over the coun try I advise the readers, of the "Asso ciated Press Letter" to be upon their guard when tne agont of the Central of Philadelphia comos along. murder A'.JD suicide. James Toizer, a junk doalor aged 37 years, marri ad, " about ono year ago, a young woman u years nis junior, from whom ho has twice sep arated during that time. During the early part of the week, Toizer went to his wife's Toom whero she was liv ing with her sister and handed her a noto on which was written: Sallie: I want to see you to got a bill of de sertion, for I want you to go your road and I will go mine. The wifo replied: this could have been told me upon the street without your coming to my room. Then in order that sho should not go her way he immediate ly drew a pistol and fired ono shot down her thfoat, carrying with it four of hor teeth, and another direct ly through her eyo into hor brain, killing her instantly. That Toizer might go his way which was to tho devil ho fixed the third ball through his right temple, lodging it in what was presumed to be his left brain. In falling ho fell directly across his wifo's body and in that position they wero found by the police. NEW ORLEANS. I stood upon the cornor of Sixth and Chestnut streets just as the news was placed upon the IJublic Ledger bulletin board; a great crowd imme diately assembled, and I would bo derelict in ray duty as a correspond ent were I to fail in stating how tbat news was regarded by those present. One gentleman a prominent business man remarked: a few more such cases of bloodshed down South and tho imporatjvo necessity for a third term for Grant will become so ap parent that he will be without an op posing candidate. Another gentleman equally as prominent and influential and even more earnest in his manner, observ ed: the interference by tho President in the Gubernatorial content in Lou isiana which displaced McEnery to make room for Kellogg has brought about, a wide spread tragedy; this thing will go on as it is evidently intended it shall until military gov ernment becomes the only protection for life and property nnd the military rule that will maintain order in the South will make Grant again Presi dent and to w hich there must bo sub mission or revolution throughout tho nation. ' Tho Evening Tilrgrnph (Rep.) holds Attorney General Williams and Congress responsible, while it re gards Kellogg as an usurper who j brings disgrace upon his party and l disaster upon the community upon j which he has fastened himself; it ! deprecates the action of tho citizens which, it fears, will be regarded by tho North only as re bels against tho j re-orgauized-State Government and j against the United States, and af- I fording a proper pretext for leileral interfere aco. Tho Public Ltd'itf', published by Geo. W. Child who is a warm per sonal friend of the President regards it as deplorable because the execu tive power of the United States may have to be used in support of a State Government which there is ample reason to bclievo was never fleeted. But resorts to violence for the redress of political grievances must be met, when the constitutional call is mads upon the National Executive, by then military force of the Government. The Ledger puts the blame wholly upon Congress which did nothing but appoint a committee to investi gate the subject of the conflicting gaberna'orial claims and then per mitted the controversy to drift its own way. Each person seemed to bo influenced in hj remarks by the po litical prejudice' prevailing in nis mind, while all regarded it as the inevitable duty of tho President to stop the further shedding of blood. - J. W.F. "Latteb Day Saints." Tho elabo rate system of proselyting maintained by the Mormons Beems to bn emi nently successful. It was only the other day that four hundred converts, ns they aro called, nrrivod in this city, bound for the kingdom of the Latter Pay Saints, in the Vienrt of the continent. Theso came from the va rious parts of Europe. The agricul tural counties of England and Wales furnished some, but a majority were from Scandinavian tjounlries. Swe den, Denmark and Norway have long been productive fields for the seed sown by the Morjaon missionaries. These people hi.vo heard of America as a land of promiso. To it their eyes have long .been turned, but it has seemed A far-off and unattainable country. 7'o them the Mormon preacher or,mes with promisos of help to reach t'ne now Canaan, which is pictured in glowingcolors. The doc. trines of. Mormonisin are made palat able; plurality of wives is kept out of sight; the peoplo, rnostly poor and fgnoraut, receive gladly and gospel not violently opposed to thoir own i mperfectly understood creeds. More especially is 'it welcome if it promises relef from the helpless in digence in which they n,re shut up at ho me. It is not surprising that con versions are numerous. Tho only 'wonder is that men do not come by thousands instead ot nundrods. TnE tube Indian Poliov. The true way for the Government to deal with these savages of the plains is by the army. The army, in fact, is depend ed upon to manage them in every emergency, and it alone stands bo twQen tho frontier and the Bottlers and devastation and death. ' But whenever the Indians have enough of war they surrender and make their own terms. They demand tho pro tection of peace commissioners and agents, and live on tho rations and tho bounty of the Government. As the army is, in fact, responsible for the Indians in time of war, wo think it should have the full control of them in peace. It could then main tain by its moral influence the peace it has annually to enforce by arms, instead of seeing nil the good it has accomplished undone by divided rulo. The army is the only power the Indians know and rospect, and it ought to have full control of them, and be held responsible, for the re sult. This is General Sherman's idea of the true Indian policy, nnd the sooner tho country ndopts it tho hot ter will it be for both the Indians and the whites. A Swell at the Gallows. Th first Earl Holland was agreat dandy, who played a prominent and not altogether reputable part in the his tory of his time. Ho was a favorite at the courts of James I. and Charles I.; but when the civil war broke out, he at first sided with tho Parliament against tho King. In nn unlucky hour he wont over to the Royalist side, took up arms against the Com monwealth, was defeated, taken pris oner, put to trial, and duly sentenced to lose his head. He appeared upon the scaffold in whito satin vest nnd cap, trimmed with silver lace, His costly garments were tho lawful per quisites of the executioner, to whom the Earl said as he approached the block, "Hero, my friend, let my body and my clothes alone; thero is ton pounds for thecj that is better than my clothes, I am sure. And when you take off my head, do not take off my cap." Then laying his head upon tho block, ho added: "Stay, while I give the sign." After a brief prayer bo stretched out his band, saying, "Nowl now!" The word had hardly left his lips when the axe fell, and the head was sev ered from the body at a single stroko, How 118 Knk.w. On tho overland train, the other day, a passongor whis pered to iho conductor, "Ihave got a bottle of i)lendid whiskoy here, which I should like you to sample; but I can't draw tie cork out." ''Do you want a corkscrew?" "Yes." ''AH right! I don't drink, but I oan got yon a corkscrew." Turning to tho other paswngers he then asked: "It there any gentleman from Cal ifornia on the train?" "Yes, lir; I am from California." "Thank you, sir. Let me have your corkicrow a minuto." And, sure enough, the implement was banded over, showing thai the conductor had not reckoned without his host. A gentleman at Lake George, after waving his handkerchief lor half an hour or more at an unknown lady, whom he disoovered at a distant point on the shore, was encouraged by a warm response to his signals to ap proach his charmer. Irnagino hit feel ings when, on drawing nearer, he taw that it was bis own dear wifo whom he had lefr at the hotel but a short time before. ''Why, how remarkable we should have recognized each other at such a distance," exclaimed both in t'no tamo breath, and then they chang ed the tubject.

AUUICULTURAL COIXEGa Couvallis, Sept. 25. 1874. ' Ed. Gazette; At a special meet ing of the Board of Regents ot the Slate Agricultural College, held in this city on the 14th iust., the accom panying preamble and resolutions, re ported by a committee to whom the matter was referred, were unanimous ly adopted, and they are handed you, by direction ot the Hoard lor mioiica- tion. Yours, truly, J. A. Cauthokn, Sec'y pro: tern. Whebeas, It has come to the knowledge of the Board of Regents ot the State Agricultural College, that some ono, to us unknown, calling him self "Observor," in a communication to the Daily Miillelin, published on tho 10th of September, charges, in substance, that the Statu Agricultural College is otlensivoly partisan and sectarian. That ono of its proiessors is not acoeptablo to this Board of llo- gente, nor to the patrons or students; and that holraudulently claims to be Master of Arts without having re ceived that degree from any College authorized to confer the satne; and Whereas, It is known to the mem bers this Board that tho degree of Master of Arts has been, conferred upon him by the Pacifio Methodist Uollege ot Santa ltosa, uaiiiornia, ana ho is thoroughly prepared to toach in the department that has been assigned to him, and has labored with entire acceptability and eflioieucy for tho last seven years, and been elected to that position eight tunes without a dissent ing voice, and having demeaned him self ns a gentleman, and a man of hon or and avoided all political and secta rian strife: therefore bo it ' Resolved, 1st. That whilosaid com munication carries upon its face stifli cient evidence of malice and ignorance to reuder it unimportant for injury in any part of tho country where this Institution is in the loast known, yet for fear those unacquainted with its management may bo misled, we doom it our duty to state that the commu nication of "Obsorver" isi an unmiti gated misstatement of faots, nnd.yould liavo ooon prompted oniy oy maiioe. Jlceolved, 2d, That tho wanton at tack upon Prof. Joseph Emory is with out a shadow of foundation, and that he and the entire I acuity are entirely acceptable to the Board of Uogonts, patrons, and pupils, and that tho Jol iego, under their management and la bors, is eminently successful.

Tho French enginoors hnvo satisfied themselves that the sehoino is quite practicable, and have mado nn estimate of tho cost of tho pro posed tunnel, which they think can be completed by tho expenditure of four million pounds.

Some months ago, twenty or thirty plow manufacturers in tho North nnd West took up the erronoous idea that the Patrons were leagued together for the express pur pose of injuring their business, and as a retaliatory measure, they refused to sell or to have any direct dealings with the Granges. The result was as might be expected; the Grangors were driven to tho necessity of estab lishing thoir own plow factories, and now plows that formerly cost $13 can bo had for $7.50. The principle extended to other agricultural and household implements, effecting a like reduotion, viz: .
