DISPATCH TO 1UR DEMOCRAT. Sax Francisco, Sept. 4, 4.30 p. m. Returns from all counties in tele graphic connection hhow tlie complox ion of the vote in precincts where the vote has been counted. So far Perkins has 10,669, Glenn, 9,418 and White, 5,659. This does not include any of the larger cities and towns of the in terior, which will be likely to increase Perkiu'a lead, although outlying pre cincts may affect then. Facheco is running much ahead of his ticket and is prohahly elected. Doubtful between McKenna and Berty. Page's election assured, and all of the Republican fctate ticket outside of the Judiciary. Latest report from the city, is that Kalloch at noon led Flint thirty-four votee, and Flint' supporters were more hopeful. Vote for Congressman not given. KEGrS BErHESE.Vr.t1MU. The Coos Bay Argus says : During Oregon's entire 20 years of Statehood no Representative in either Mouse of Congress has ever been al lowed to succeed himself from this Slate. But two members from here have been twice memberc on the floors of Congress Nesmith, formerly Sena tor, was, years afterward, returned to the lower House, and G rover, first Rep resentative under the State organiza tion, now occupies a seat in the Senate. The Argus is a little off on this. J as. II. Slater, now U. S. Senator, was elected to Congress in 1370 at the time Grover was first elected Governor. But the fact remains that our people do not, as a role, return their Congres sional representatives. And yet there is ne State in the Union that needs able representation so much as Oregon; and without experience there can be no able representation. Men can't learn to be statesmen in a single term in Con gress. The great strength of the New ngland and the Southern States is in the experience of their representatives, not in their maiden ability. Thomas H. Benton was a myth a mere cipher when he first represented Missouri in the councils of our country ; but after he had served thirty years in the United States Senate his voice and his influ ence were powers that swayed the na tion. Henry Clay was only a Bowling Green horse jockey when he was sent to Washington, but he quickly learned the secret of statesmanship and diplo macy, and his constituency gave him the chance, by continuing his appren ticeship, until he learned the trade. Kentucky, wieh Clay, Crittenden and Breckenridge from year to year in their familiar seats, was a power only equalled by Massachusetts with her Sumner, Maine with her Fessenden and Penn sylvania with her See ven We are not making a specific argu ment in favor of the return of any one of our representatives in Congress as the Democrat has never been the or gan of any man's preferment but we do think that our young commonwealth needing legislation as she does would denve greater benefits if we should discover sufficient talent for representation and continue that talent in office until it could be brought into utility. ClUIDIMl ELECTION. From yesterday's dispatch it is dif ficult to determine the result ot Wednesday's election in California. A full vote was polled, and the count ing' was progressing slowly. The indications were that .Kalloch, the Kearney candidate for Mayor of San Francisco, was elected. In the Con gressional and State election the re- salt la in doubt, with the chances in favor 9i the Republican's We give the following as the last report yes terday : SAJff FBAKCtxciSCo, 2:15 A. M Scattering returns from the interior foot up in ronnd numbers, Perkins 1,900, Glenn 1,100, White 1,000. Our readers must remember that Perkins is the Republican candidate for Governor, that Glenn is the Dem ocratic and H. B. candidate, and that White is the Kearney candidate. Without a good return from the cjuntry counties it is roost likely that Perkins is elected. We have nathidg definite from the Congressional election. A COBBECT tOMPAKISOX. Bishop Gil.

Do Young, in San Francisco, aid tlio pnpevs both Eastand West have been full of the transaction ever since tho news of tho event was flashed across the wires. As much comment has been made on the action of De Young in shooting Kalloch, and as the aggressivo party is entitled to a hearing in tho way of defense of his action, we copy the following from the San Francisco Chronicle Vo Young's paper. It is headed " The Low f J-'e-nuile Protection"'. It is a law of society reaching, in deed, to the lower auimuls that the males of the family shall protect tho females. If a wan savs ot another's father or brother that he is a thit-f or an adulterer, the laws of society would not at all justify resentment to the ex tent of homicide. Rut when suh lan guage as Kntloch deliberately and with the rankest and most unchristian mal ice used is directed r-rainst a mother or a sister, the law of society not only justifies extreme action, but spurns aud scorns the son or tho brother as a cow ard and a wretch if he does not enforce that chastisement. Tho reason of this universal social law is close to the sur face. The woman is weak and cannot defend herself. She is disfranchised, cannot aspire to public office, and in, therefore, not a proper object of vitu peration or assault. In tins particular case the lady is aged, with one foot in the grave aud the other on the verge of it. fcrfie was utterly unknown to her assailant, had never harmed him, had not uttered a word against him, had pel haps never hoard of him, save as a preacher; and from her euiwt, amiable domestic life, a right to be as free from obloquy as a saint. Her slanderer is a minister of tho Gospel, a jsitkm of all others which demands charity, forgive ness, patience, forbearance, and forbids malice, revenge, cruelty." His language was a libel on his profession. ro stieet bully could have thought of anything more fiendish, aud the manner of its utterance was coarse, vulvar, brutal as the conception of it. The pietense that his clerical profession fchould have shielded him from that chastisement which the like epithet from a layman would have challenged and merited is utterly inadmissible. When a profes sor of religion and a teacher of Chris tianity deliberately and with malice aforethought descends to the level of the vilest of men, his punishment should be of the severest kind. And this, we assert, is another law of socie ty. Every mother, every sister who heard or read Kalloch's epithet against e azed and unoflenihnsr mother of Charles De Young, must naturally feel that De Younir, so far from being cen sured for the chastisement he save, merits the universal sympathy and es teem of the gentler sex ; must feel that if he had done less he had Wen a cow ard, a craven and a wretch, with less spirit and gallantry than a cur. A DOl BLE-UEIDCK. The Jacksonville Times is posted on a prodigy, and hero is what It says about It : Millie Christine, tho double-head ed colored woman, has myrie her ap pearance in California. Thi won derful curiosity has two heads, four arms, four legs and one body. Kucli head is independent of the other; one head sings while the other talks, or both can sing together, one voice being a contralto and the other a so prano. Her (or their) parent were slaves in North Carolina at her (or their) birth. Both heads are well ed ucated. Our townsman B. F. Dow- ell saw thorn during his sojourn at Washington several years ago and drew a vivid pen picture, in his cor respondence to the Senthii l. I le then gave it as his opinion that Millie was truly wonderful, and California jour nals substantiate the accuracy of his views, tnough we have not wen as concise a biographical sketch as Mr. Dowell favored us with. a coviiiein. A friend writes us : - Mabt. V. Browx : Do you think postmasters have any right to retain mail when called for by parties claim ing to represent the mail ? 8. DENNIS. Albany, Or., Aug. 29, 1879. That is a hard question to answer, If you had spelled the word "mail" with a "male" orthographical pronuncia tion, and had told us actually who was claiming to represent tho said "male," we might have been able to tell you whether or not the postmaster had the right to retain said "male ;" otherwise we don't know what to do in the prem ises. For further particulars we refer the whole Dennis family to postmaster Raymond. IT STILL DOfcSIT AtiUEE. The public debt was stated on Jan uary 1, 187C, to be 21,702,000,150. On May 31, 1876, it was stated to be $1, 967,414,700. On June 30 it was stated to be $2,027,207,250, and we observe that the Republican organs of recent date say it is $1,990,414,095.03. Ac cording to these figures the debt has ac tually been increased about $300,000, 000 since 1876. It is no wonder that General Spinner declared that when he was in the office of Treasurer the pub lie debt statements "never agreed with his books." HE A A1 CONTEMPTIBLE. The action of the proprietor of the Manhattan Beach Hotel (a fashionable Bummer resort) in refusing to receive Jews as guests, is almost universally denounced as bigoted, mean and dis graceful, and the petition cf the so callpd Christian guests of the house, asking the landlord so to act, is the most narrow-contracted and splenetic document of this modern and enlisht ened age. If Nellie Grant were going to play Juliet next week the free advertising she is now receiving wouldn't do her an? harm. From out Washington Correapamlonl. j THE OHIO AMPAH.X. Cincinn ati, Aug. 22, 1879. Editor Democrat : Politically, all eyes are turned to ward the Buckeye Stato this year, and for nn "off year," no State campaign has excited moro general interest throughout the nation. With the Pres idential election so near at hand the fu ture, if not of parties, at leust of indi viduals, ia understood to depend . very much upon the result of this contest, and their political associates, fur and near, who are not able to directly aid them, anxiously await tho outeenie. With tho Republicans the situation is desperate a regular ground hog case ; for (should they lose Ohio this fall there would not be m shadow of hopo for them in the contest for the Presidency next year; while to tho Democrats success hero would lo all clear cain. Ohio is not put down as necessary to the Demo cratic column in any of the Presidential calculations on that side, while no Re publican estimate figures out enough electoral votes without Ohio's twenty two. Yet it is admitted that if Ewing is elected thin fall tho Democrats will pretty certainly entry tho State next year. Sinco the war Ohio 1ms been a reliable Republican State, with ono or two off year exceptions, and the admis sion that is doubtful in a contest so im portant as tho present is significant of the real situation the degeneracy of tho Republican party. I have seen both the candidates for Governor, and find them both making an active canvass, and both professedly confident of success. It has been claimed, with the best show of truth, that almost no other two men could have been matched against each other who would fight harder and stir up the State more than the two who were se lected. Poth are men of great power of physical endurance ; both are piae- ticiug the old tactics of going out into the by country places, remote from rail roads, and stirring up tho brethren of their faith who have never before, since the days of Tom Cor win, heaid other than local talent discuss the varying issues of the recurring campaigns. Tlie result of such herculean work as this is going to be, that an immense vote will be poile J. The one great danger to the Democrats is that tho vote will be too large by the importation of colored voters, and they are keeping a close watch upon their opponents, who have been credited with a putose to AVlopt the late Senator Morton's old tactics. With good organization in every county and precinct, it ought to b easy enough to detect and thwart all attempts of that kind. In respect to organization, how- ever, ! am compelled to say that, so far, I do not think the Democratic organi zation is as perfect as it should be at this stage of the campaign, thougl rapid work is now being done. In one resect the camjwign assumes a very different aspect f'om what was antici pated by the Republicans before the nominations. It wus their intention to have a red hot bloody shirt contest, as I very well know from being pretty we'd acquainted with sources of inspira tion at Washington. The sniveling reference to "sacred n mories" in the Republican convention was intended to raise the soldier issue, and to charge the Democratic Congress with discrim ination against the cx-soldter of the Union army. But when this same con vention nominated for Governor "Cal ico Fostei," a man who sent a substi tute to le shot at while he remained at home to gather in the shekels, and the Democrats put up against him uh a soldier ticket as Ewing and Rice, the bottom fell out of the bloody shirt ai rangement in a hurry. The hypocrisy o'f this soldier snivel is the meanest feature of it. Every Republican leader knows what tho Democratic Congress has done for the soldiers by the passage of various tension acts, and they know, too, that the Democrats, sinco they came into control of Congress, have era ployed as many, or more, Union sol diers, and us deserving ones, as were on the rolls under Republican rule, though, sad to relate, they don't all vote the Radical ticket. If the Repub licans were sincerely anxious to take care of the soldiers, they could do it through the eighty thousand offices at their disposal, nearly all of which are filled with such valiant fellows as "Cal ico" Foster. Tho Democratic Congress has barely three hundred places, all told. A n illustiation of the sort of in trigue Radical politicians resort to is found in the case of the one-legged sol dier Wilson, late an employe of the Senate. Though a Republican, tho Sergeant;at-Arms and every Democratic Senator desired to keepjiim, but under the direction of Roscoe Conkling and other Republican Senators, he refused to perform any duty, and followed a line of conduct which made his reten tion impossible. He was relieved and his place given to another, recommend ed by Senator Don Cameron, where upon tho Radicals undertake to cart him around the country as a martyr and a campaign argument. Pretty des perate tactics. But all this is rather a digression. It is generally thought that Ewing's hopes of success must depend largely on Southern Ohio a portion of which is as sacredly deveted to the principles of Jefferson and the resolutions of '98 as is the Western Reserve to cheese muking and Radicalism and to some extent these calculations seem to be well founded, though a considerable change in some of the former Radical strongholds is not improbable. I have been studying local Klitical geography a little, and find that the distribution of political sentiment is one of the pecu- liarities of this ' pivotal " State. It is as if a cup of water were spilled within a circumscribed spaco on a dusty floor, It scatters hither and thither in tretnu- i. 't . i-- i - lous lillio giouuies, nnu sometimes a I number of tho coming together form withstood tne strain or moro numt a respectable sort of a pool. Ho it is rably demonstrated their disposition hero. There are a great many pools to the preservation of good order and of Democratic water, but the Rppubli- can dust is sandwiched in with it occa- sionally in a most perplexing manner, Take, for instance, the five counties long the Scioto valley railroad.

The extent ot disfranchisement in Ilbode Island is plainly seen, the Bos ton Globe declares, by a comparison of Ltn0 statistic of population and votes polled. According to Dr. Snow's fig ures the population of the State is about 270,000. In States where dis franchisement does not prevail the ratio of voters to opulation is one to four and one-half, which in this case would give 60,000 voters in IUiodo Island. But the highest vote ever polled was is elsewhere and what it would be in Rhode Island if the suffrage were free. condition of thinss is doubtless the Sute.
