Rust is making sad havoc with wheat in the Siuslaw valley, in Lane county. A grain cleaner is in operation at Dajtoa. Farmers are learning that it pays to market clean grain. The harvesting of f.tll sown grain is progressing rapidly in Polk county, an J the yieM is reported to be very large, and in luany instances nearly, double the yield of last year. In Washington county the farmers are very busy harvesting their kill giain. The straw is much larger than last year, but the yield will compare favorably with that of the previous year. A man writing to the Orejonian from Monmouth says : Everything drying up ; harvest progressing ; and the rust awful. Much of spring wheat will not be out ; and many renters will '" lose every tiling. iHra't rely on & spring crop ; sow in the fall. Wheat received at Portland this sea son from Halsey and vicinity, in this county , is considered of a very inferior quality, and a dealer says it is scarcely fit for chop. The fall wheat is good, but the spring sown is miserably had. Wheat from the Walla Wall country, on the contrary, is in splendid condi tion, and the crop large. The Eugene Journal, speaking of the rust in Lane county, says : " Mr. Frank Powers had ninety acres of beau tiful club wheat that had been reck oned at forty bushels to tho acre, and he has decided not to cut it. The How ard boys are making preparations to burn quite a large field, and Hill, who is, probably the most extensive farmer in the county, will lose nearly half hL; crop. Mr. Sam. Daw, whose farm is ten miles south of Cor vail is, has twenty acres cf wheat which, in the opinion of all who have seen it, will yield sixty bushels per acre. This crop comes from one pint of seed that Mr. Daw pro cured at the Centennial in 1S7G, and planted two years ago. It grows on ground that has been cultivated twenty consecutive years. It is known as the Russian variety, and is entirely free from rust, while grain immediately ad joining on all sides is more or less af fected. IS DKt'CltlSC HIMSCLF. The Secretary of State, Mr. Evarts, says that the Republicans ought to "carry th ree or four Southern St ates m 1880, for the ieason that "the best class of the Southerners are sick of the Bourbon rule, and would like to ally themselves with the party of intelli gence, property and influence.'' The Louisville Courier-Journal assures "the honorable Secretary that he is deceiv ing himself as well as his friends. There never will be a break in the Southern line so long as the bloody shirt champions remain unrebuked in the North. The party of "intelligence, property and influence" in the South is the Democratic party, and, although there is some difference of opinion as to the men who should represent this party in CoDgress and in the State governments, there is none as to the in famy of the slanders heaped upon tbe Southern people by the recognized Re publican leaders of the North. Tbe South remembers to her sorrow and in dignation the carpet-bag and negro thieves that were kept over her for many long years, and having emanci pated herself from the rule of such un principled and ignorant rascals, she will see to it that they are never restored to power. On this you may implicitly rely, Mr. Secretary. THE OB ECO EXHIBIT. The San Francisco Commercial Her ald has an appreciative article on Ore gon's exhibit at the Mechanics' Fair in that city, which it pronounces "in the highest detjree instructive and interest ing." After presenting a general ac count of the exhibit, it says : "On the whole it is well calculated to impress a thonghtful observer with a sense of the great natural capabilities of Oregon and its certain future development. The States of the Pacific coast are one in their inteiests, and should be one in their sympathies. In some things our sister State can doubtless beat us ; in some other respects we can doubtless beat her." We are all engaged in the same work of developing the whole coast," ADEMALlOH WILLIAMS. In another column will he found a letter from L. L. Williams, in which he denies the charges made against him by Thos. Daniels, of this city. We have already given Daniels' story, and we hope our readers will now peruse this letter from Mr. W., and then they e in judge for themselves. Mr. Daniels evidently believes his charges are the truth, for he has sued for a divorce from his wife, and the summons now appears in this paper, and the grounds f jr asking such divorce is her elope ment with Mr. Williams. At the Oct ber term of eur Circuit Court the case will come up, and then this question will be settled. Ges. Walker thinks the next cen :n of the Un'ted States -will show a Ration of at least 48,000,000. Lt;V AttDKIiSS. The Democratic rantlltlale for (;vrrnoror t'Hllturala Statr III Ho till ml l'oltln. Hugh J. Glenn, the Democratic and New Constitution candidate (or tho of fice of Governor of California, spoke to an immuuso audience at Piatt's Hall, in S in Francisco, a week or two ago, und the speech contains such sound doc trine, and is so plain, outspoken and defiant that we have concluded to pub lish it. Here it is : .Vr. C7ii(V)K; and J'tllotn Vmo erutf ; Having come to California in 1840, aud acted ever since with tho Democratic party, it would wrw al most unnecessary for me to declare to a California audienco that I aim u Deni oerwt. As I understand Democracy, it means the rule of the people within constitu tional limitations, t-pml and jtttt taxa tion, and economy und honesty in the administration ol ntuirs. it means hostility to class legislation, opposition to monopolies, and full and complete protection to projxrty and all invested rights. If elected, I will endeavor, by every means in my power, to carry out these Democratic principles as I understand them. . 1 am not so vain as to believe that I was selected bv either of tho two great organizations which did me the honor to nominate me for the highest cilice in the State by reason of any personal merits my friends may have claimed that I osscssed, but I was nominated, as I think, because these parties be lieved that I would, if elected, fear lessly and honestly eudeavor to inaugu rate the retorais which the joplo, in adopting the new Constitution, de manded. I Although enjoying, from the peculiar advantages with which our State has been endowed by nature, ill most unexampled prosperity, our eoplji hove been for many years uiK&atiafieu with the administration of aUiiira, and. espe cially with the unequal and orerous taxation to which they havo beeiji sub jected, and the enormous and ttnjust exactions which have been enforced and made for railroad transjortation in this State. The New Constitution was the legiti mate result of this dissatisfaction and discontent. I advocated and worked for the ado tion of that instrument, and believe that if its provisions are faithfully and fairly enforced it will add greatly to the prosperity of the State, and prove of incalculable benefit to our citizens. There was no party teat in the Consti- tutional struggle, and those who voted for the New Constitution, believing that ta enforcement in tho first instance should bo put in the hands of its friend., and that its provisions should receive the just interpretation which they had placed upon it, orginiznd tho New Constitution nrty. This party, comprising those who voted for the New Constitution, em braces both Republicans and Demo crats. It is, as declared in its platform, non-partisan and non-jmlilieal, and will from its nature, after this election, ex ist no longer. I do not conceive that any Republi can, acting with the New Constitution party has, from that fact, severed his connection with the Republican party, or is any the less a Republican. And I am certain that I, in receiving and accepting the nomination of the New Constitution party, have not in any sense ceased to be a Democrat. The paramount Lsue of this cam paign is the' railroad question. This is a contest between a great and over shadowing monoMly on the one hand, and the people on the other. Our small population cannot, by their ut most exertions, make their industry yield a living for themselves and such princely incomes as are enjoyed by the railway magnates. For many years the managers f the Central Pacific Rail road, composed of a few men. have, by their own railroad and steamboat lines, and by combinations and pools with steamship companies, almost exclusive ly controlled the passenger and freight traffic upon the Pacific coast. A dis tinguished member of the Republican party Mr. George C. Gorham sub mitted, over two weeks ago, in his ad dress at Union Hall, in this city, an array of figures (and, so far as 1 have heard, they have been, in no wise, since contradicted,) which shows that, while the railroad coqwrations have enjoyed extraordinary gifts in the shape of sub sidies from the National Government, from the State, and from counties and cities, making, in fact, the railroads through these subsidies a free gift from the peeple, they have exacted the most onerous charges for fares and freights, and made the most unjust discrimina tions between places arid individuals. Growing arrogant with their power, they have assumed that they, and they alone, were to be the judges of the measure of their charges. The ques tion of transportation affects every spe cies of business in the State, and it is certainly unfair that the people who pay the fares and freights should have no voice in the. matter, but should be compelled to submit to any terms or exactions which the railroad monopoly choose to impose. For years the peo ple have, in various ways, made honest but futile attempts to correct these abuses. Party conventions have met and adopted platforms promising re dress. Legislators, pledged to the sup port of such platforms, h? ve, time and again, been elected. But, by Borne means, the power of the railroad, im properly used, was suflicicnt to prevent any legislation affording relief to tho people. Tho adoption of tho New Constitu tion was the first grand step in tho right direction. Ry its provision a commission is to be formed which shnll stand between tho railroads and tho people, and which will not permit one party to tho transjiortalion contract to dictate all the terms or to iiaposo any unjust restriction upon the commerce and prosiwity of tho State. It is of the greatest importance that Kuilromi Commissioners of known and tried in tegrity, n, en who can neither bo bribed or swayed by tho influence of the rail road corjKiration upon ono hand, or by the prejudices of tho peoplo on the other, should bo chosen. If I am elected, and a vacancy nhould occur in this Commission during my administration, I will appoint no man unless I am fully satisfied of his worth, his intelligence, ni.d bis integrity, and that ho will impartially decide between the railroad and the people, giving n fair return for tho investment, and, at the samo time, protecting tho (tropic against discriminations and excessive charges, lietiovinjt that when a inuii becomes a candidate for so high an of Ceo as Governor, the jople have a right to know, and it is his duty to do clare, Lin views ujon tho grout issues in the canvass, and ns the matter of railroad abuses is tho overshadowing iaHiio in this campaign, I havo endeav ored to i.tate, in my homely way, my views, iu unmistakable and definite terms. When I announced that I liclieved, from the published rcjwts of tho rail road, that freights and fares could bo safely and justly reduced at lc;utt twen-ty-fivo ier cent, I was at once assailed, misrepresented and villilied by every railroad organ and hireling in the State. I have been told that this railroad was too powerful for any individual to dare to provoke its hostility; that it could lay its iron hand upon any citi zen and drstroy him in reputation and in fortune ; in other words, that I could not afford fo make thU fight in the interest of the people. Rut I havo no fear. I believe in the owcr and honefty of the jieople. I have enlisted in their cause, and there shall lo no turning, no retreat. I have Wen charged with Ix-ing a land monopolist. Every foot cf iand which I ioshc-3 in this S'.alo ban leen purchased from private owners, and mid for with honest money, anil every acre capable of cultivation is now pro ducing a crop. I give employment to hundreds of white laborers. The wheat produced on my ranch this year will load twenty large-sized cliper shis, and over a million of dollars will be distributed through my tenants, laborers and creditors, and added to the materia! wealth and resource ,f the State. And my land is nsessed for taxes at the same rate per acre as that of the adjoining smaller farmers. 1 do not believe that any candid man will con sider me a land monopolist, in tho ob jectionable sense of tho term. The kind of land tuoiiojioly of which the people of thin State, with good reason, complain, is that which seizes and holds lands for purely sjaeculativo purposes, but does not cultivate it. Hundreds of thousands of acres of swamp and tide lands have thus been gubbhxi up, and are now held in this way. They pro duce nothing ; add nothing to the gen eral wealth ; pay but littlo to the sup port of tho State and ' county govern ments. Millions of acres are held in railway and Mexican grants; not an acre in a thousand being cultivated, and the tuxes on them being next to nothing. The railway corporations, as Mr. Gorham has truly said, own 20,000,000 acres. They pay taxes on but a small per centage, refusing to take patents for the balance, and leaving the title to the land in the United States, so the State cannot tax it. This is the kind of land monopoly which has retarded the prosperity and settlement of California, and which is paralyzing her industry, and operating as a severe burden on the honest tax payers, who are over-taxed to make up for the non-payment of taxes by these land-sharks. Of all the rank evils and pests which the New Constitution seeks to root out of tho soil of California, there is none ranker, or more deadly, than the Chi nese. And of all the great and manful blows which this new Magna Charta has struck at giant evils, none have been greater or more manful than its uncompromising assault on Oriental coolieism. Tbe Democrats were the first to for mulate a nti-Mongolian doctrines, and they continue to struggle for them, un til no party in the State of California dared to ignore them. The sweeping provisions of the New Constitution, on the Chinese, close with the declaration that such provisions shall be " enforced by appropriate legislation." Depend upon it, that, if I am Governor, mich legislation hImU never he vetoed. Tbore are national Boards of Health, and vast national efforts to stay the diseasa that kills the body, but no national helping hand is extended to California to stay this pestilence which is killing the souls of her children, which is driving her sons and her daughters not only to beg gary but to shame. Rely upon it that, if your votes shall give me the power, I will know no limits to my efforts against tLis withering curse, save the barriers of Constitutional law. I will not stop until tho Constitution of tho United States shall say unto me, "Thus far sh.ilt thou go, and no farther." With tho railroad controlled, and Chinese immigration stopped, ond with radical reductions in State and county taxes, new courngo will bo infused in all the industries of the State, and e ir responding prospei ily promoted niitoug the people. I thank you for tho kind reception and attention you havo given ine, the nominee of 'your party. lUOll I,. L, Wil li I'M. Viui.inia City. M. T., August 1, 1S71 J Ai'i'o) l-nnrr it : 1 hate just received (from your pa per) an editorial article headed "A easo of ei iin. con." and as I am tiuuiu the subject of gossip thereby I deem it my duty to reply to tho same. I Wim a candidate before the last l!n publican State Convention for Secre tary of State, but did not come any where near beating Earhat t. I nir been Clerk of Douglas coun ty, several time, but was never an in fluential leade", nor any kind of a lead er of the Republican party. I have Wen about Umatilla, Walla Walla, Waitsburg and Dayton consid erable of the limn during the last year. The article in question gnes on U state, on the authority of one Mr, Dan iels, that I have "eloped" with his wife and child. What an absurdity 1 Noth ing in tho world could W further from the tiuth than that. I have not "cIojkvi" with any one, and never saw a man's wife I wished to "elope" with, nor one who wished to "chqaj" with me. I have no desire for another man's wife that he can't get along w ith him self. Mrs. Daniels was Uitn and raised in Douglas county, and afterwards re moved to Linn, and I have Wen on goed terms of friendship with her and her father's family ever since her earli est babyhood. During the past year she has Wen living with her husband, at her father's, near Waitsburg. left there on the 29th of June last for the buffalo country, on tho Yellowstone river, leaving Mrs. Daniels and her husband and parents all thero together, as issuat, and have made my way thus for a distance of or 700 miles on horseback, and was never quite so much astonished as I was ujon reading the article reforred to. I infer that Mr. Daniels and his wife have scpntnU-J, but have no idea what his o'-ject can W iu so strangely mis representing this mutter to you ns a public journalist. If Mm. Daniels has run away with anybody it is ;iiielody else Wahles me. Mrs. Daniels is called "an erring woman," which will csusu her and her larg'j circle of friends to fee! sod indeed, for as to her reputation I never heard a word against her Wforv. For her sake, as well us that of her friends, and for my Kike, as well as that of my friends, I respectfully ask that this communication bo published in the Dem'K'B.vt, and that tho people where enchof us are known, and par ticularly in Linn and Douglas counties, W not too hasty in forming or express ing opinions injurious to. others, upon the mere statement of Mr. Daniels, whom it appears is laboring under a very great mistake, or is actuated by sinister motives.

He is tbe only candidate thus squarely in the field tip to the present time. Dismal complaint is made by the stalwarts, the Grand Rapids Democrat alleges, that tbe jieople of the South send so many Brigadieis to Congress.

The doctrine of State Rights which the Democratic party adheres to, and. which has been affirmed time and again by the clearest intellects of the Ameri can Bench and Bar, is, the Potts ville Chronicle alleges, that Congress can pas no laws but those which the Con titution authorizes, either expressly or by clear implication ; while the State Legislatures have jurisdiction of all subjects not prohibited.
