It will be noticed by our local col umns that a meeting of the citizens of Albany was held last Friday sight to devise wavs and means for securinc the proposed narrow gaiigo railroad from Springfield to. this place. The matter was quite fully discussed and a com- mittee appointed to report progress at an adjourned meeting to-night New, the question is, what shall we do?

It is a yery Prett" fi8ht M ifc stands aild 1 tnink the Democratic Senators will be wise it the. decline to take any part la it. They helped the Senator out once and cot "nothins; but abuse for I it afterwards. But it is really amusing to hear the Senator hurl his keen sar-1 casm at the occupant of the Prcsidcn-1 tial Mansion. "Mr. Hayes" said he the other day in ' executive session, "has shown this committee no consideration and is entitled to none." Whereupon Mr. Wheeler, the legislative half of the fraud,' promptly called the New York I Senator to order for ommitting to use the title of "President." "I am not out of order," responded the New York I Senator, "because when I speak of Mr. Hayes I am not speaking of the Presi-1 dent." This coming from Iho Demo- cratic side would be right and proper, but trom Senator UanUling, who helped I to place Mr. Hayes in a position that didn't belong to him, when it was in his power to have prevented it, the point of the utterance, like a two edged sword, cuds both ways. A joint committee of both ' houses f Congress is tinkering away at some provisions for taking thd next census.

As tbe work is to be dono during the year of the Presidential campaign, it woul seem entirely proper to have it as fur removed from federal patronage as pos sible, and Mr Cox'a plan is ocrtainly near nonpattian as can be. Tl special agents and experts being under the control of tho Superintendent, who is to be a federal appointee, that enough. The federal patronage is al ready enormous, and politics enter too much into every department of public business. Notable society events have not been numerous so fur. Re .options at the White House are far mora slimly attended than ever before. Phono. IMPORTANT TO miMTKRM.

J out now, in order to affect the fate of the Bill before Congress to restrict the immigration of Chinese, the adv cates of the Mongolians are endeavor inS to Sct !' scar at Washington, as to the loss of the trade between China nJ tb United bUtes. Lut what oes this trade amount to! Jhe toUl exIrt8 0 produce and merchandise lrom t'e V lilted fetatCS tO China IM ICSS u,n thrC8 nIlln he sjcie "P01"1 is noat,J twcIv '"'ons. Tbu enermou export of specie will describe the differente of trado agninst this country and in favor of China. In other words, in order to sell that coun try three millions' worth of breadstuff every year, the United btates bay twelve millions of dollars' worth of teas and silks and other wares from the Chinese. If China should declare nen- intercourse to-morrow with this Gov- emment, it would be millions to the I'"' "ur lwr'' " culw, injr loss to the Chinese. So between v tho trade with a.ina and the unlimited lln""gTat'on allowed to her population, or the prohibition of that immigration and absolute stoppage of trade by all means let us have the latter. To give a coolie a dollar to get two bits in ex change will not pay in a singlo trans action, and the eftener it is repeated the worse it is for tho white man and the more profitable for the heathen Chinee. The loss of the China trade scare is a feeble device. S. F. Examin er, FKATKICIDAU In Caryell county, Texas, the other day two brothers, William and Eak Hills, got into a dispute at the break' fast table, when William dashed a cup of coffee into Eak's face. The latter became enraged, and get a wagon single tree and dealt his brother a fearful blow. The father separated them but the enrazed brother seized a stick and re- turned to the work, when William toek a gun and shot him dead. The mur- derer was frantic with grief but mount- ed a horse and escaped. The San Francisco Examiner, which, in treating of weekly papers and their vocation, aptly remarks : "How great becomes tbe toil, how vexatious the disappointment, to the editor of the weekly paper, who gathers up the fund of local news which flows in upon him from every corner of his section of the country, and the intelligence from every quarter of the globe which each day's mails bring him, and seeks to give his readers not only the best ot it all. but the pith and substanee of it all. As we look over our weekly ex- changes, and see with what success the painstaking editor has met these de- mands upon him, we are amazed at the industry which is exhibited. There is more-labor frequently, upon one col umn of news in a first class weekly journal, than upon a whole page in an ordinary city journal."

RIS OTTJf, There is lots of talk about Grant for the next Presidency, but no better aigument could be made against him than the fact of his selfishness and nepotism. lie had the happy faculty of obeying tho Biblical injunction that "he who does not provide for his own househould is worse than an infidel," and in order to secure his eternal saltation he appointed even his forty seventh cousin to an olfico. While Grant was Prosident bo triod to induce Gen. Sherman to have his son Fred Grant promoted, he being 2d lieutenant; but Gen. Sherman would not agreo to it, because it would bo un just te a lurge nmnber of llicers above his grade. ' However, he found a wil ling tool in Gen. Sheridan, who aided in raising the young scion of nobility to the rank and pay of Lt. Colonel, Fred we believe never smelt gunpow der in a battle. Lt Col. Grant has re ceived permission from the Secretary of War to join his father in his cruise in tho cast Gen. Grant has been travel ing all ever Europe since his time ex pired as President at the exiense of tbe Government, lie has a large steamship belonging to the navy of the United States, which takes him to any place lie wishes to go. Ho is aooom panied by his family. And now Col. Fred Los leave to join the family, Lav ing his bills paid by Uncle Sam. Verily Gen. Grant has been feted and toasted as no other ex-President of the U. S. has from Washington down till you ceine to Grant A Saw Mil WILL BK BUSED. By Grant's nomination a new issue will be raised, remarks the Brooklyn EwjU, and it will turn on tie dispeai tion of the eopo, temporality or per manently,to suspend the ordinary nieth ods for the conduct of tho Republican government. On such sti issue the candidate opposed to Grant would bo an altogether secondary question. It will bo overshadowed by tbe greater issue; Are the American people de sirous of virtually abandoning their form of government fer the time being! The Ett'jU further says: We do not think they are, but if they are not it is clearly within the power of the party that elected Mr. Tilden in 1SC8 to elect him again in 1SS0, and we doubt if it be in its power to elect any body else. It is ossible that enough has been dene, through the division of the Democratic jwrty in the Empire State and through the depression which has followed it in other States, to de feat the Democrats in 1880, under any candidate. The nomination of Mr. Tilden would be an assurance that these dissensions were in a great meas ure settled; his defeat in a Democratic National Convention would be proof that they are irreconcilable, and that the Democratic leader prefer to secure the accomplishment of their personal ends and aims to the success of the man who bad led the Democracy in the only victory I hey have secured within this generation. THE WAV THEY BO IT IM IBABO. The Boise Statemian says : Thurs day morning in the Council the follow. ing resolution was offered by Mr. Man ning, and ruled out of order. Whereas, It is provided that the Legislative Assembly shall have i Chaplain to o)en their resjective Ses sions daily with prayer, and in conse quence of the hardness of hearts of the members of the Lower House, they have not yet perfected an organization and elected a Chaplain for that body ; and, WilKBEAg, Our present Chaplain, the Rev. Joslyn, was not elected until the 1 Cth day of the session and this body was deprived of sixtoen prayers. Therefore, be it liesofved, mat our Chaplain be re quested to deliver in bulk, the sixteen ravers due this body to the Lower House, hoping it may have a tendency to soften their hearts so that they may organize and get ready for business, and may the Lord have mercy on their souls.

On the 21st inst a British col umn consisting of a portion of the 24th regiment, a battery of artillery, and GOO native auxiliaries, were utterly an nihilated near Tuquela river by 20,000 Zulus, who captured a valuable convoy of 10- wagons, 1,000 oxen, two can non, 400 shot and sholl, 1,000 rifles, 25,000 rounds of ammunition, 00,000 pounds weight of provisions, and tho oolprs of the 24th regiment It is es timated that 6,000 Zulus were killed and wounded in the battle. Among tho killed on the British side aro two majors, four captains, twelve lieutenants and a quartermaster of the 24th regiment; two captains of the royal artillery ; a colonel, captain, four lieutenants, sergeant and major of en gineers, besides twenty other British officers commanding native levies. Seven attacks, subsequently made by the Zulus, have been repulsed, and the colony is now somewhat recovering from the utter consternation which at first prevailed. Natal, however, is in irreat danger, and disturbances are feared in Pongland. Lord Chelms ford, eomuander of the exiwdition, has keen forced to retire in oonsequence of the defeat It is estimated that 000 soldiers were killed, besides the officers enumerated above.

Shields is not only tbe "hero of two wars," but he is a "Senator from three Stales." His career lias been re markable. He was born ia the county of Tyrone, Ireland, in 1810, and aettled in Kaskaskia, 111, in 1832. He has been a msmWer of tho Illinois and Mis souri Lstrislatures, Auditor of the State of Illinois, a Judge of her Su preme Court with Douglas, her Senator in Congress, a Senator also from the State of Minnesota, a Major-General in the war with Mexico and the war of tbe Rebellion, Governor of Oregon Territory, and Commissioner of tho Genet al Land Office. His recent elec tion by the Missouri Legislature, to 11 the unexpired term of the late Senator Bogy makes him a triplicate United States Senator. Few men attain to the distinction of United States Sena tor, and we believe Gen. Shields is the only one who has had the honor of rop- reseating three sovereign States in that capacity. Our information is that he is still hale and hearty at the advanced age of three score and ten, and, a his term as Senator from Missouri expires on the 4 th of March next, he may come to Oregon and elect himself Senator from this State in 1882. HOT TBI VEAB BIT MBIT. According to the report of the Sso- retary of the Treasury we are in debt three hundred millions more this year than last But yon must remember that this is the off year in politics and tbe Radical administration don t care to make much capital this year. Next year being Presidential election you will find that tho national debt is al most paid off and that the country never was so prosperous! TBOtBLSJ SOW. The army officers were in a terrible bubble about the late defeated army bill, as it seemed to jump somebody over somebody else. But since tho bill has gotten its quietus it is quite proba ble that Chief Joseph can be cotnman-der-in-ohief, and Sherman, Sheridan & Co., will continue to draw their sala ries with equal regularity and precis ion.

It is thought the anti-Chinese bill now before Congress will soon beooase a law. If those heathen provoke every body as they have they Albany people during the past week, Congress won't need to work much on the question as to whether or not they "shall go." They will be most likely disposed of without Congressional buncombe. Few things could seem more incon gruous at first thought than a railroad in the Holy Land, but that is what we shall presently see. Thomas D.

The trial took place on the farm of II. C. Powell, Esq., Jan. 80th, 1879, and I never saw a more energetic or hard-working and Impartial Committee than the one having charge of the trial. They dujj down to the bedrock for facts, and hewed to .the line re gardless of the falling of the chips. You will find there were seventeen plows entered for the contest,sfx of which were of the Morrison Ertfa. manu facture, and the Committee having made the number (10) the standard of excellence, you will readily observe that the aforesaid "six" were awarded as many perfect marks as all the others combined. Also the draft of the same was from fifty to one hundred and fifty pounds lighter than tbe others, the slxteen-lnch Morrison drawing but three hundred and fifty pounds, while the "Garden City" of the same size drew five hundred, tho "Champion Mo lino Scotch Clipper," same size, five hwrvlred, the "Black Hawk." same iJ.e. of four hundred and fifty a difference tone, inow, in view or the above facts, allow me to say If you want tbe lightest-running, mot substantially made, and best-working plow ever stuck Into Oregon soil, buy a "MORBIKON" and be happy.- Very respectfully yours, EUGENE BUCHANAN, Agent for Newbury, Chapman A Co., Albany, Oregon.
