DEM0CRATICJMNVEMTION& Just as we were going to press we received a copy of the proceedings of the Democrats StateCentral Com mittee, and we have but room enough to give place to the following dates for holding the different conventions State Convention to be held at Sa lem on Thursday, the 29th day of July. Primary Convention are rectfm mended to be held on Saturday, the 17th day of duly, and the County Conventions on the following Wed nesday, July 21st. HKBVKU TUKH illVHT. At least we are almost constrained to say so, when we think of what an excellent opportunity our Democratic friends threw away by tailing on to the Dolly Vardens in last Monday's election. They ought to have nomi nated a ticket of their own, stood by their colors, raised aloft the old Democratic banner and "gone in red-eyed" for victory. And we fully believe they would have gained it. Last Monday's work ought to be a lesson to them. It ought to teach them that the' people are tired and disappointed with the ao-called Be form Independent Dolly Varden business neither believing in their . professions of honesty and economy or their loud pratings about "disin terested patriotism." The fact is, those Independents or their leaders at least are a lot of disappointed, , discontented spoil hunters Arabs in the political des ert, if you please who acknowl edged allegiance only to their own Bellisb ambitions and are only weary when they can lie down in the publio crib. Their disappointments have made them Iuhmselites to the recog nized parties of the country, and last Monday's election would indicate that even their Hsgars are deserting them. . We now moBt earnestly appeal to the 'Democrats of Portland and Multnomah county to "step down and out" from among that vandal crowd and pledge anew their faith and their devotion to the grand old party which alone can secure to them honesty, economy and genuine Re form iu municipal as well as in na tional affairs. They now see that there is no middle ground. Either the Radical party, with all its Hasti ness and corruption seeking as a stench upon the body politic, must win tnd rule in places of responsi bility and trust, or the Democratic party, with its grand history and urandcr principles, must cuard af fairs of Btute and municipalities. Tho Independents con soardtly win even u partial victory when Jae Dem ocrats unite to help them, and never can succeed when left to themselves. We earnestly ask our Portland Democrats to join the rest of the party throughout the State in the coming campaign, and let the Dollies hereafter shift for themselves. What Wk'be TnKf The Washing ton Vhrwuelt 'of a reoeut date says Yesterday afternoon a young lady in the Navy lard was terribly shocked by her own foolish mistake. Being Kent for some flour to Barry Comb s store iu a hurry, she took what she supposed to be a clean pillow-slip from the bureau drawer. When she bounded into the store, smiling like a basket of chips, she handed the thing to Harry to fill with flour. , He didn't notice what "they" were till a scoop of flour hod gone through, them When, he raised them up and di cloii.d two outlets at the bottom, nicely fringed, etc., the young lady ran down toward the tunnel, without n:i ring a word, and poor Harry, cov. ere 1 wit) flour, laid the garment in the money drawer to await her re turn. At a late hour last evening no body hadTwllod for the flour, and Hairy hn engaged a aeamtress to miw up the boStoms and make a sack out of 'em. " In Citironma.

The contest in Portland last Mon day, over municipal oom, was tun from being spirited as there were 600 less votes polled than in the last general election. Doubtless this is mainly caused by the . disgust of many Democrats in not having a ticket of their own to support, as well as br the discontent of many Republicans in having to support for Mayor a man who only a few months ago was a prominent democrat ana only went into the Radical ranks for the spoils and bribes of Holladay. The result of the election foots up as follows: . Republicans elected J. A. Chap man, Mayor; E. J. W. Stemme, Councilman in Third Ward. Independents elected Jos. Bach- man, Treasurer; Andrew Hut, As sessor; M. S. Burrell, Police Com missioner; J. R. Wiley, Councilman in First Ward; S. G. Skidinore, Councilman in Second Ward. Tax or twelve years ago it would have created a great stir had Cassius M. Clay announced himself as affili ating with the Democratic party; and even now it is remsrked as some thing extraordinary that this distin guished gentleman participated in the recent State Democratic Conven tion of Kentucky, from the fact that for many years he was the recognized leader of the Abolition movement in the South. But there is little to marvel at this. The ideas that Mr. Clay so courageously and eloquently championed in the days that drew a line of fire between the North and South, were realized in the Emanci pation Proclamation. Thencefor ward, 'as an honest man, he could only affiliate with the party which seemed to him the best adapted to serve, protect and perpetuate the unity of the Nation. Where else then, as a patriot of truly national views, could he so consistently cast bis lot, as with the Vemocratic party? Om Voti. One vote elected the late Jesse D. Bright to the United States Senate from Indiana, a posi tion which he filled with so much distinction for eighteen years. There was a protracted contest in the Dem ocratic Legislative caucus in 1815, between Mr. Bright and General James H. Lane, afterward of Kansas Radical notoriety. The vote which gave Mr. Bright the nomination was oast by Dr. E. D. Cruikshank, of Hamilton county, Ohio, then a mem ber of the Indiana House from the county of Franklin. He had previ ously voted for Lane, but changed to Bright when several of the latter's friends were preparing to desert him for Lane. For the Democratic par ty, remarks the Cincinnati Enquirer, it was a lucky change, upon which Dr. Cruikshank congratulates him self. A TEBHinc storm swept over Kan sas, Missouri and Illinois, last Sun day, destroying property and crops. A Kansas City dispatch of the 21st says: Xne most territlo storm since 1814 visited this section on Sunday night and lasted four or five hours, The raiu poured down in torrents, Several houses in this city were struck by lightning and several un roofed. Immense damage was done to the streets and many cellars were flooded. Tho storm extended over the country for an area of fifty or more miles to the south-woBt. The damage done to farmers is very great, Fences and bottom lands are sub. merged and damaged. Railroads suffered severely. Ths Memphis Apjyeal, a Demo cratic organ says: If the result of the ncit Presidential election de pends upon the prudence of the South, the victory is already won; for our people are a unit in proclaim ing that secession is dead; slavery is dead; that the Confederacy has ex pired; that no one proposes to ex hume its remains; that we dismiss all our reseutuient and propose to chorish no recollection of the war, save the memory, of the brave men who reflected honor upon American valor., Tain is Kentucky s centennial year. One hundred years ago Richard Heu- derson purchased from the Indians all Kentucky south of Kentucky river,; Daniel boons surveyed the purchase for him. Boone completed the fort at Boouesborough, in Madi son county; his wife and daughters came as the first women to Kentucky, and the first sermon was preached at the Big Spring, in Harrodsburg, Mercer oounty. We regret to be compelled to announce that Daniel Boone is deceased. ' i Detroit boys seem to advance in education whether they attend school or not!. A news boy who couldn't change a ten cent piece a year ago, was recently heard remarking: "Wil liam Scott, if you ever corrugate your brow at me in that way agurnJ i snail temporarily aeposii my pa pers on the pavement, and cause the blood to coagulate under your loll optic. Hear me, William?" FbkBidknt Uua.nt receutly pur chased forty thousand dollars worth of real estate iu Prin e (Jorge's county, Maryland, a few miles from ashiugton, to use as a stock farm.

Circumstances un foreseen by man havo transpired ro- cently, which are forcing away a large amount of settlers from the Western, North-western and North ern parts of our Union. The excess ive cold winters in those sections, the untold millions of "hoppers," eating up the people's substance, the drouth and chinch-bugs are turning the eager attention of many thou sands to this coast. Not only is this so with persons shattered in their means there, but with business men who foresefgfbat if the masses are depressed, their own business must decline greatly. More than thirty thousand immigrants have left those districts within five months past bound for this cosst. With all the lecturing, printing and whitewashing of California, the immigrants find her in cinders and trouble. She now succumbs to the inexorable logio of courts, and turns back all the strangers she can not accommodate, rather than they shall come to our State. Hence as many now are go ing back as are arriving off the cars and ships. But there are enough intelligent persons arriving here to see for themselves, who, having seen, are reporting favorably to their friends in the frozen grasshopper countries. Oregon thisyear presents the most charming and fruitful ap pearances. It is the store house of provisions and tho land of health, and untold resources of wealth, and a climate unsurpassed by any other country. Tho reports are now actively circulated that Western Ore gon is full, and that there is no fur ther need or room here for immi grants. There are provisions here meat, bread ad vegetables for three,timcs our present population. There js but a mere tithe of the good lands in all Western Oregon, yet in cultivation. And of our iron, coal, lime, timber, gold, copper, silver and fish mines, less is developed. And is there not room and grass in East ern Oregon for beef and mutton, stock enough to feed two millions of peoplo yet to come here? And is the one-twentieth of our Bplendid water power yet in use? And do wo put up the one-hundredth part of salmon and other good fish which could be taken in our rivers nnd seaB? There are thousands of our broad sections and half sections which ought to be, and soon will be, divided up for settlers in Western Oregon. Our splendid lands are offered for sale, with clear titles, at astonishing ly low prices, There is just one per son now in our State to 290 acres of land. And yet not one-third of us cultivate the soil, Tho Willamette Valley alone, with its slopes, can sustain, in all its varied resources, three millions of people, and yet we have in it not over Bixty thousand persons at present. From lottcrs re ceived here from the friends of immigrants there, and from what I learn from those arriving now amongst us, tho destruction of crops in Missouri, Iowa, Kansas and Ne braska, by the grasshoppers, drouth and chinch-bugs is fearful and dis tressing to the people. They must not be kaft to perish there for food and raiment. Whether had they bettor come here, even on charity, or have supplies sent thein by charity? And when will the curse of the hop pers and other scourges cease there? These plagues are ton fold worse this year than evor before in thtso dis tricts. About all the immigrants sent to me by tho State Board of Im migration aie thorough going work ing men, temperate and intelligent. They ask no alms, they only want a fair show here, But they .have confe to stay. Many of them are men of means, who are buying farms, teams and wagons, and taking right hold of business. It is too true, that many of our people are disposed to keep shy and mean, in order to skin the immigrants, as many did here in times from 1810 to 1855. But there are many whole-souled people here now who step forward and cordially welcome the strnugcrs as they arrive, and give them useful and true infor mation. Their kindness and friend ly efforts will not be thrown away. Every prominent man and woman arriving amongst us, who becomes contented and well pleased here will draw to our country, of their friends left behind, five, ton or fifty of them. It is to our interest then as well as our best policy to extend to these strsugers V hearty welcome. . The golden opportunity ts now with lis to populate Oregon, aud develop her exhaustless resources. Shall we be wise or foolish in the cane? David Newsum. Howr.i.L Phaiuik, June 22, 1873, WtNor.LL PuiLUrs having said that Chicago men have bruins while St. Louis men do not, Stanley Waterloo, of the St. Louis liftuUxaii, hops up aud flings this brick at him: "The man whom Phillips examined as a sample happened to be standing on bis bend at the time, hence tho ora tor's natural error." "HARK WHOM TBS) TOUBW." This is from the Jacksonville &n fmdof list week: "If we want to win a brilliant victory over Democra cy in 1876 we must organize for the great battle. The opposition is san guine, watchful una thoroughly in earnest." In view of the fact that all during the War, and- along up to 1870, these samo Radical papers were chanting gleeful strains over the death of the Democratic party, doesn't the above sound rather strange? Tho "dead' party of the War days is, forsooth, a living, watchful, earnest organization in these piping limes of peace, and already making the erstwhile insolent and triumphant foe tremble in his boots 1 It is indeed refreshing to note these cries of alarm and distress from the Radical enemy, and they ought to stimulate our ranks to re newed exertion aud grander achieve ments in the future. Dukiso a trial in the Memphis (Tenn.) Circuit Court last Monday one attorney called nnother a liar, whereupon the one so addressed seized the court bible and knocked the other down and proceeded to ad minister corporeal punishment. The judge called for a deputy sheriff and the combatants werefinnlly separated by bystanders. The . judge fined them $50 dollars each, anfl also fined the deputy sheriff $25 for being ab sent.. ' The Galveston News, speaking for Texas says: i'Let us hope that though 1876 may not mean peace in an un qualified and conclusive sense, it means a sincere and concerted effort in both sections to put an end to re crimination upon the post, to sup plant mutual jealousy with mutual confidence, nnd to merge the ex ploits of both contestants in the great Bectional conflict in one grand communion of national glory and and national greatness." As Iufoktant Side-Issue. There is an important sido-issue in the coming election in Maine. The Leg islature is to elect a United States Senator, and Senator Morrill is anx ious to retain the position. Speaker Blain also wants the seat, and it is said to be no secret that he will do his bost to obtain it. He is said to have been successful so far in secur ing the nomination of General Selden Connor :or Governor. -The palindrome is a line that reads alike backward and forward. One of the best is Adam's first re mark to Eve: "Madam, I'm Adam!" Another is the story that Napoleon, when at St. Helena, being asked by an Englishman if he could have sacked London, replied: "Able was I ere I saw Elba." The latter is the best palindrome, probably in the language. A New San Fbancisco Daily. We have received the prospectus of the Sim Francisco Daily Democrat, soon to be issued as a morning paper in the Bay City. The editor is not an nounced in the prospectus; but we are ussuri d that the paper will be conducted in all it's departments with distinguished ability. We wish it abundant success. General Giiant has announced his intention to come out as a candidate for the third term.' In declaring his iutontion to become such he says he will not be a candidate unless cir cumstances compel him. Of course he will do all bo can to bring "cir cumstances" around in favor of his nomination; and when this is done he will consider himself compelled The lanterns were hung out in the tower of the old North Church, in Boston, on Sunday night, April 18th, by Robert Newman, son of the sex ton of the church who performed the same duty a hundred years ago, when the British took' up their line of march. The grandson and great grandsonof Paul Revere were also present. Tunas is a horrible picturesque- nous in the reported discovery of the body of John Blackford, the Amer ican actor, who lost his life three years ago in attempting the ascent of Mouut Blanc. It was found in a huge block of ice which lately fell from the mountain, perfectly pre served, like a fly in amber. , Dn. Cuapiiak, the nowly elected Radical Mayor of Portland, two years ago declared the Democratic party "adjourned;" but he won't have even the power to adjourn the Portland Council over whichjhe will preside, as he has only one other Radical in it and nobody else to sec ond the motion IIolmks remarks on the wonderful provisions of nature. He says there is not even left a narrow crevice un der a flat royk without a thin black bug prepared by providence to fill it. It is the same way when vacancies occur in official positions.

Cuplea orate and Mrs. Duuiway reads declaration at torvai Fourth of July celebratiion. A Colorado tom'jstone remarks: "He was young, he was fair but the Injins raised his hair." It is a significant tact that not a Republican paper has yet endorsed the Radical Slate ticket iu California. A Salem mother wouldn't let her ('slighter take part in a spelling school because sho heard that knotty words would be given out. Rev. E. Payson Hammond holds daily street meetings iu Portland, using his saddlo (as he always ap pears on horseback) as a pulpit. The Aldine and College Base Ball Clubs played a match game at Salem last Friday, in which the Aldines came off victorious to the tune of 27 to 14. The members of Willamette Grange, Benton county, will cele brate the ge-lorious Fourth (or 3d) of July with a grand bsrbeoue dinner, speeches, music, etc. Tennyson's "Elaine" says- "And the dead steered by the dumb went upward with the flood." But in Port land they render it: "And the dead drunk steered by the drunk, went upward to the jug." The U.

A pretty widow is candidate for School Superintendent at San Diego, Cal., and all three of the papers sup port her, much to the disgust ot the Independent Dolly Varden fellow who is running against her. . A California girl patiently listened to a long declaration of love, pathetic and proposing from a young mam and she knocked the poetry all out ol him by saying, "Now let us talk about your business affairs." Thirty thousand dollars were re ceived st Roseburg by express,. Wed nesday, from San Francisco, by A. T.

On the McKenzie Fork, Lane county, a married woman intending, to leave her husband, emptied a bot tle of chloroform on bis pillow at night, and then she and her daugh ter, a young woman, absconded with a couple ot Scalawags. A Hogem (Idaho) man was asked if he supported Fenn. "No," he an swered, "Then I suppose you sup port Bennett?" "No," "Well, then, who in thunder do you support!" support my wife and five children, and have a mighty hard time of it too.". . A Portland man last Saturday got too much "greens" in his lioker and when asked by the Police judge the reason he licked his wife, answerod, "O, jis' fur greens!" The judge didn't think the excuse was valid and sent the modern Nebuohadnezxer to the oily pasture for 20 days. A man enjoyed the great North American privilege of getting glori ously drunk at the Pioneer reunion last week, and his wile sloshed him into a wsgon, tied him and drove the team home, while he laid in the wag on very contentedly sit ging: "Don't you want to go to alory, Uncle Joe."

Mrs. Clara Stevens had a fine gold watch stolen from her room at the hotel in La Grande about three months ago, of which no trace could be dis covered, but last week it was slipped into the letter box at the post office in that place, not being accompanied. however, with any clue as to who bad been in posseseion ol it. Mr. Terrell, of Salem, received a letter from his wife, who is now at Smith's Ferry, stating that Messrs Hull and Randolph came out of the Santiatn mines Thursday night, bring ing nuggets of gold as large as wal nuts. Thry started back lo the mines again on Saturday morning, aud were acrorapanieJ by E. 8. MoCemaa and W. W. Baker, of LaOrande, and Mr. Topper, ol Salem. Everybody in the vicinity of Smith's Ferry seem to have s touch of the bullion fever, snd excitement runs high. SanAntotiia Herald'. Hereafter We shall publish a list of the names of those who go a-fishing on the Lord's day, and fail to send us a string of trout. Perch and suckers have too many bones in them to allow us to forget that the moral element of our population look to the press to eradi cate this growing desecration ol the Sabbath. The Owyhee Avatanclie says: "Among the new mines that have been created in the newly discovered gold regions a few miles from Silver City, three of them have been named the Comstock, Henrietta and Maggie, which are about 100 feet apart, and in the same ledge. The ore, which mainly develops silver, assays $9,500 to the ton." The Coos Ray News nays: Mr. H, H. Barrett, an old resident of this oity, has evidently joined the Bdplist church, ss we saw him immersed last week, off the end ot Luse's whart. He came out ol the water praying; the burden of the prayer was, lor the Lord to dam Coos Bay. We suppose the object Henry had in view was to deepen the water on the bar. The Reese River Reveille record's, under the head of improvements, that one Jack Williams, stter living in a tunnel for ten or eleven years. has concluded to have a house, and is now engaged in building a snug little cabin in front of the mouth of his tunnel. The tunnel is not timbered, and last Winter Jack's slumbers were occasionally disturbed by the falling of rock and earth on his bed, and he has concluded that the tunnel is get- ling unsafe.- - - A geutleman on one of the river boats was remarking that he couldn't open his mouth at Hio Vista without catching a mouthful of mosquitoes, One of his hearers said: "That's nothing. The little pests must be getting scarce. In '50, I -was going up ti e river, when the boat get into such a swarm of mosquitoes that it came to a stand still, and we had to send a line ashore, hitch on a team of stout horseSj and tow the outfit through the dense obstruction." Ono night recently a party of Omaha youngsters of aristocratic breed, met secretly to organize a par ty to go to the Black Hills, kill the Indians, and seize their fabulous gold mines. The Chairman suggested, in a practical way, that as at least oue of the party would undoubtedly be killed by the Indians on the way, it would be well to carry a nice coffin, covered with blue velvet, and with silver handles and screws, with the rest of the luggage. This threw a coldness over the meeting. It didn't seem to take very well, snd after talk ing the matter over very seriously one after snother finally decided that it wasn't expedient to go to the Block Hills. The boys then organzied a debating society, and it was resolved to discuss at the first meeting the question "that it is advisable to ex terminate the Indians in our country." The Olympia Echo says: "On Sat urday evening last, a sad case of drowning took plaoe at the logging camp of Foster l Rowo, at the head of Finch's Pond, in this county. Geo. Nieman, reoently arrived from Illinois, aged 21 years, was absent from the camp circle in the evening, When the 'boys' had nearly all 'turn ed in,' the young man was still miss ing. Some remarks were passed con cerning his absence, when one ebserv ed that be had heard some one hal looing out of doors during the even ing. A brother of the missing man went out and called for him, but as he received no answer, concluded that he would come in during the night. In the morning, search was made for tte young man, who had not returned. At 4 o'clock his hat was seen floating on the water, and a fish-pole was standing in the water between the logs. In attempting to haul the pole but of the water, it was discovered that something was at tached to the end of it, when the body of ths unfortunate J oung man wsj raised lo the surface, one cold, lifeless hand grasping the fishing-rod in the last grip- oK death. It is sup posed that he had been fishing from the boem of logs and lost his balance, and, being unable to swim, eried in vain for help, and then sank to rise only in the embrace ol 'death. His remains were buried Sunday after noon." IN MEHORIASL At a meeting of Albany Engine Co.
