J.'ilitor DeiiutcrtU : The Kalionnl Fair is booming this wtnik ami 'Washington titutita a live lier nic-aiaiico than it has for uinny a Jay bcfoi-e. The national character of the exhibition ia not fully JovoIojkmI yd, nml the general outside interest ia not so great as it will bo in future yearn, but from a Washington atauil point the onUrjrino ia a grand auccrsa. The imniftiHe procession on the ojx'ning day was four miles long anil comprised a representation of all the bukineaa in toresta of the city. For a community not much engaged in manufactures it was a big thing, and the industrial hibition on the grounds ia surprisingly good. V( course, as 1 rxct to bo an angel wlien I die, I won't aay anything about the "lions races and aich." liut sjicaking of industrial matteta reminds me of the lit'tum delivered here on last Tuesdiiy evening by Mr. lfolyoake, the F.ugliah author and promoter of co-ojt-erative trade among the working class es of that country, lie described in detail tho plan upon which the co cur ative societies of Kngland were organ ized, and astonished his auditors by do tailing the remarkable dvgrco of success which has tesnlted from their clhjrta. lie said that the societies now have two slips running between this coun try and Kngland, transporting supplies purchased here for the co-operative stores. Tho societies have also estab lished permanent purchasing agencies in almost every producing country in lite world, in order to obtain absolutely pure articles of food at first prices. Tho new supers have had a good deal of fun over tho suggestive appear ance, on a platform in Brooklyn, of that domestic trio, Conk ling, licocher and Hicks, and Frank Italics illustra tion entitled "A fellow feeling makes us wondtoui kind," was a timely hit. Cunkliiig fresh from Canochet, Beecher with the odor of Klizabeth's confession clinging lo him, and Hicks fresh from Florida, where he U known aa "The Devil's Deputy." Hicka is probably the worst seducer of the lot, but he has the advantage of not proftauing to be much better than he ia. The three on a platform certainly made a striking picture. They tell a gissl story ajrro- of Conkling's vanity and love of ad miration fiout the fair sex. which is worth ic ating. There is a lively lit tle lsdy in Xew York, who keejsi on her center table, under a gloss case, a lock of auburn hair InWled "The 1U of the lock rare and curious. " It is nothing less than tho historical curl which people who have seen Conkling will have noticed hanging proudly over is forehead. Somebody wrote a verse on it thus: Then waa a U- Hunaiur and be baJ a lulls curl. That buu( rhl iluao lbs muldls ol his furebsad. AihJ hm bs waa stmm! be waa vary, vsry gw4. tlut a lieu M was b4 bs was horrid," This little lady heard Roscon Mak in JoMr institute, and was so struck with his inordinate vanity that she stmt him a letter setting forth that sho waa a young girl just out of school, and so enamored of tire handsome, eloquent man that she begged of him a cotres- pondence, and, if possible, an interview. Tho able man whoso vanity makes him an afiH, and sometimes a vicious ass, fell into the trap, nnd he first corresiwnded with, then sought out and courted the little witch in petticoats. Hhe bad bat one objective point in view, and that waa a captute of the leek of hair that the statesman had cultivated into a distinguishing feature. ' She made its possession a test of Lis love and wen, and then she disappeared from his gaze, leaving the "Bully Bottom" of the Ben ate transformed out of all recognition to bis immediate friends. . The result of the Ohio election seems to have emboldened John Sherman, and he now declares openly that "when a" member of Congress or an officer of the National Government ia to be elected, Congress has power to regulate such elections, and the Republican party in tend, if the present law id not strong enough, to make it i still . stronger. Thia indicates that the Republican par ty are looking forward to another dis puted election. . Their original : plan was to capture the present House of Representatives. In this they were foiled; hence the raising of. the bloody shirt banner in the fight which has just closed in the Buckeye State and is now on in New York, in the hone of 'seotir- ing the governments of those States for next year. If they ' succeed ' in ISew York as they have in Ohio the plan for 1880 is to give tho electoral votes of those States to the Republicans, wheth er they' are ' entitled to'' them or not. How they will do this in New York' is indicated by the plan for a sort ef eight by seven electoral 'commission1 -which they concocted last -winter .at Albany, and which they dared not tress while Governor Robinson, was in the execiv utive chair., With. two such, unscrupu lous partisans as Foster aad Cornell to exercise executive power in Ohio and New York, the project of a "Solid North" is feasible, and the declaration of John Hhennaa, quoted above, shows that the Republican leaden are ready to resort to any merits of jwrK'tttating their power, no matter how reprohonsi- bio it may be. John J. Ingnlls, United 8tuU Sena tor, from Kansas, by virtue of Jay Gould's money, baa been strutting around Washington since tho return of the subcommittee sent there to investi gate the manner of bis election. He feels confident that he will not be tin. seated, and from all I can learn I guess ha is right. Not that such a result will be in accordance with his desert or the. facts in the case; but instead of making the inquiry when the circumstance were fresh, it waa jiostimned until lute in fl.e summer, after the artful dodger had been given tint to fix witnesses and Jest roy all positive evidence against him. I saw a letter last winter from a Republican now in Kansas, formerly connected with the Radical organ bete, which be expresses bis conviction that Ingalls honght lilt election out right. Ho was a clerk iu tho !egilu- atute at the time and based bis opin ion upon personal knowledge and uU starvation. The cliarvee all came from n gal la' own Jstrty, and a Republican member of Congress from that State told me be bad no earthly doubt of bis guilt. Yet in the face of all thia he pear likely to eaoae exposure. It is said that Kenator Haulabury, the Democratic chairman of the Committee. does not desire to elicit any jjsitivcly amaging evidence. I don't know how that in, but am satisfied that Ingnlls' escape win im ami to tne ueuty ana sympathizing tactic of bis Kttttatorial colleagues quite as much as to bis own manipulation. lNloNo. as isrucaaiar tirt.aiiu.ic e. One knows not of a mom terrible situation for a man to be in than to be awoke by a venomous snal.e falling on him. An English oflker in India tells of bis experience in this sort of a ter ror: It waa the worst season of the vear for venomous creatures when Tom Nr- ria and myself were occupy'n ' a small bungalow at Jubbulpore. We slept in the same room, each of us having a lounge, and it was about wo cluck in the luornintr, and pitch dark, when I waa awakened by some thing striking nte on the lwck and fall ing, as the sound seemed to indicate, in coil upon the floor. "What'a thatr exclaimed my friend. whe awoke at the same instant, and 1 made no reply, for I had tho strongest uaaible dislike to bay what I believed it was. "What's thatr ho asked again; and then I answered, "1 think it's a snake, and he has bitten me; will vou get up and go for a lightl" Tom Norn lay still for a while, then be aaid: 'Now, look here, old fellow, if a cobra has bitten you, be won't do you the least additional harm' if he bites you again; but what is the use ol my being bitten toot Hadn t you bet ter get up and go for the light your self r Could any logic have been more tin- aonablel 1 at once got . up, and after some trouble procured a light, and we began our search for the snake. But first Tom ftorris examined the dace where I bad been bitten, and his face grew very grave, for there were the two punctures, and it teemed clear that a snake had injured me. We hunted about the house for ten minutes, and although I felt myself growing drowsy,'! began to hope that it was not a cobra, dut some less ven omous reptile that had bitten me. At last the mystery was solved. As we entered the bathroom, a wild cat, that for some incomprehensible reason bad taken refuge in the bungalow, went fiyiag, half road with fright, out of the window, carrying naif a dozen panes ot glass with her in her exit; In her contusion she had evidently nmped upon the bed, and her claws had penetiated my back, making two little ho!es precisely like the bite of a cobra. To sav that I was relieved would rive you a very ioor idea of my senti ments as the cat sprang through the window. All my drowsiness vanished, ana I slept no more that night. UOW THK EBKOKS C'BEEP IN. A lady who reoently published some verses on "Autumn in these columns, writes to ask,, "who is resKnsible for the typographical . errors in your pa- perl" Lean down here, while we whis per in your ear! ' sh; nobody is. The editor writes so plainly that even a blind man could spell out his words. the compositors are college men who have edited papers f their own, and they Bet up the matter exactly as it is written and correct what mistakes the editor makes'the proof reader is a pro fessor of rhetoric and philology in an Iowa college, and never made a mis take in his life, and he corrects what few ' mistakes the compositors - may make; the foreman is a Gottingnn grad uate,; who. has nothing to do but to Bee that, the matter is perfect when the forms go down. There isn't a mistake in, our paper when the type reaches th press; ' ut we ll ten you, aa a proiess- lonal secret, how the mistakes creep in The pressman told the manager,and the manager told us; it's the ink it's the ink..

Tho following ill from A. T. IIuw ley's eotTrspoudence to the S'. '. UiU Ivlln . The city of Allmii lii-s nestled in tho heart of tho Willamette Vulley, and it hits a rich country north, southeHst and west ef it, a river on one htuxl slid a railroad on tho other. 1 ts entire usjx-et is one of thrift, permanence, protspntity and steady growth. It is the county seat ot Linn county, which embmces area, say, forty miles long by seventy miles wide. Not being a paiallelognim, the acreage is estimated at atmnt on and one-quarter million acres. A very large proportion is valley land, generally characterized as sandy loam. Succes sive cropping for many years 1ms un questionably imK)verihhed the soil. In a conversation 1 held this morning with a gentleman who evidently knew what he waa talking i!iit. be sui-J thnt the need of phtwphatn of limn is beginning to muko itself apparent. If such is tbo case, it only remains fur Muuclsjdy to go to work and find a marl lied. This valley was an arm of the wh mice, ami the marl is hern somewhere. Ti e val ley projxT is from fifteen to twenty miles wide, extending easterly from the liver to the fisithilld, when the We of the country changes, stel in diversified by small valleys wiih II i-f rich lonm ami rolling bills abundantly productive of rich liutursl pasture ntuwH. The county extend t the summit ;f the Cascade mountain rntijie, the slojieH of which are finely woodiHl. liut little, if any, vacant land is found until those M)rtioii of the foothills thirty miles buck of the river are renehed.

Farms within three miles of the town of Albany are held at $100 jkt acre, from thence the price declines to $"'0, and thetico on down to A fair av erse may l-e set down at from -2(l to Kl hT IS wtil-AT. But the aje-aranco of rust in wheat fields kits ha"! tin) effect of making some eopIe believe that the end of all things, sgriculturally K-akinr;, in Linn county, is at hand. I am inclined to think that audi views nro fallacious... Tho rains for the present season weio exception ally heavy and late, and movt of the grain was spring sown, nnd from the best information 1 can obtain, the full and winter-sown (jrain was unscathed. Tho farmers of Linn county aro learn ing the same lesson thnt CUtifornians have had to pay for so d-arly, and they are taking advantage of the present fine weather to tret in their crops. If it is only spring-sown wheat that is liable to rusf, the fanners of Linn will require more slornjro room next season. TAXAiu.n rrsorttuTV.

The wages paid to farm hilsirers range from sr month with IxhiiiI, the year round, to 1 50 ja-r day in harvest time. TIMDEll LAND AND SAW AXI Kl.ol lWXtl MILLS. One third of the area of Linn county is timber land, the principal varieties being fir, (or Oregon pine,) white pine, maple, ash and oak. Homo manulact- arers convert tho ash, oak and maple into very attractive furniture. There are in the county fifteen sawmills, with cutting capacities ranging frem 5,000 to 15,000 each er day. Uhe price ol lumber ranges from $S to $14 ler thousand.

Ho had ob- seived the devotion of a man of sixty to a widow much vounger, and behev- ; that an intrigue was going on, ac costed tho old man very rudely inti mating that such proceedings wer. not allowed there. Tho man of sixty flew into a i Mission: threatened to chastise tho impudent fellow, and made a grand scene, iho sequel proved tnat no was the womans husband, and 1 ad been for ten years. The clerk humbly- apolo gized; expressed his profound regret, but added that las nmtake was natural enough. Asked afterwards to explain he said he had noticed that the patron of the house had, while sitting on the piazza iu the evenings, repeatedly put his arm around his feminine companion and bent down and kissed her warmly and in his clerical judgment that was not the way husbands were in the hab it of treating their own wives. To study the world ia better than to shun it. One must be poor to know the lux ury of giving. To understand the world is better than to condemn it. Employment for the mind is what thousands are in need of. . By being contemptible we set peo ple's minds to the tune of contempt. To make tho world better, lovelier and happier is tho noblest work of man or woman. When alone, watch your thoughts in your family, your temper; in compa ny, your tongue. Let amusement fill up the chinks of vour existence, but not the great space thereof. The David Davis boom, wo learn has been sold to a circus for a bass drum. A St STATE The Republicans of 'bis State are making a great howl alxuit the doc trine of State lights and the position of the Democratic party on this ques tion. The Cincinnati Knquirer has the following to say as to the sSiition of the Republican rty on the question of State rights before it bad occasion to chntigo its views in order to hold on to the sfidir .f the government : In lrtCO tho Republican arty was . in thn buoyancy of youth, in the hope and pride of a sanguine ambition, and in th meekness -f a good behavior, like that of a stranger seeking to make friend. like most l-ojs it was full of gHsl ieoiiition. Without patronage, conscience, to the sense of justice, to tl ju lw-t feml r-oo. au'l t was. ,M forced to base this apeal upon the ron- Hill ill ii Hi, I lie iiinuameniai law ! me land. It dared not then openly and flagtantly defy Jhe constitution, for it washiiml.l v knoekii.gat the gates of jsiwer. The constitution, even so short a time ago, held in some resjiect and revi-rer.ee. There wa something fine in the t-jiectacle. of a young and lusty party, in a melancholy minority,' without money to disburse or offices to dispense, plea-ling with millions of men to vote for it because it claimed to rep resent an i-b-a within the constitution that hovered atiout freedom. The Re publican party never before and never after occupied a sii.ion so eminent. It was not yet corrupted by power, and was in seme reuse made lofty with ho e. It seemed to try 1 o stand upon the constitution, and plea-1 for bWrty for all men. In that convention f 18C0 weie some .f the men who bavo lent luster to tho Republican jmrty, and have Ioiti i.lentilie.l with it only glo ries. John A. Andrew was there Irom MasKtchuM-tt-, braxe, eloquent, lofty, tender, w ith com ietiona made lieautiful by courage and flavored with sentiment. George S. lioiitwell, from the same State, was there, tame but tenacious, somewhat dull but firm, not showy but tireless. Kben F. Stone, who was tem porary chairman of th n-cent Massa chusetts Republican Convention, was a delegate, and Win. C!a2in and Samuel Hooer, lsth since then prominent in the polities of MaKachusetts, were delegates fo thi ojnvention. Gideon Wells, of Connecticut, wa a delegate at large, as were William M. Evarts and Preston King, of New York. George William Curtis was the first delegate fioin the fiist district of New York ; and it as he, of the melodious voice and scholarly face, tho g"Htl", cul tured dreamer, then so much of the hope of our literature, who asked the convention if it was prejiared lo jfo ujwn the record as voUng down tho declaration of independence. William Curtis Neves and James W. Ny were legates from ew xork. Dtvid Tilmot was a delegate at large from Pennsylvania. Tbad. Steven, the in domitable, the heroic, waa also a dele-. ate at large. Wm. 1). Keller was there. Francis I. Blair and Mont gomery Bl air were delegates. Tom "orwin, the wit, the man ot snuabiue. was a delegate from Ohio ; Joshua, 11. Gidding, fearless, devoted, conspicuous. was a delegate from Ohio. . rrauk Has saurek wa there, an eloquent speaker. Daxid Davib and O. H. Browning were elegates fwrn Illinois. Carl Schurz, of course, was there, a delegate at large from Wisconsin. From what convention has this mercenary destruc- tionist and place seeker been absent s:nco Jr.urope apewci nun iuu mis country t Kasson and Allison, of Iowa, were delegates. Frank Blair, Jr., and Iratz Brown were delegates at large from Missouri. And Horace Greeley, that strange combination of guileless ness and intrigue, of ambition and mod esty, of loving kindness and bitterness, of breadth and narrowness, of philoso phy and fickleucss, of humaneness broad as the sea and spites aa Iittie as the pebbles it washes on the whitened shore, a monument of tireless toil until he filled a grave of despair Horace Greeley, the hater of Seward the er ratic man of unsurpassed sincerity, the weak man of power, waa there as a delegate from Oregon. Such was the com;Ksition of the convention. Geo. Boutwell, b. X . Ulair, Joseph ti. Barrett, of Ohio, Carl Schurz, J. A. Kasson and Horace Greeley were among the members of the committee on resolutions. The Republican party let us believe, was then honest and ear nest. What did thia convention, in -that heur, say against the rights of the StttesI - The second resolution in the platf irm of this convention declares : "That the maintenance of the princi ples promulgated in the Declaration of Independence and embodied in the Fed eral Constitution is essen tial to the preservation of our repub lican institutions ; and that the federal constitution, the rights of the States, and the union of the States, must aiyl shall be preserved." - The Republican party in 18G0 was not content with the enunciation of the rights ot the States. . The fourth reso lution of this platform was as follows : "That the maintenance inviolate of the rights of the States, and especially the right of each State, to order and control its own domestic institutions according to its own judgment exclu sively, is essential to that balance of power on which the perfection and en durance of our political fabric depend ; and we denounce the lawless invasion by armed force of any State or Terri tory, no matter under what pretext, as among the gravest of crimes." Wo appeal "Irom Philip drunk to Philip sober." It has become the Re publican theory that inasmuch as the late civil war destroyed allvesti jeof the alleged right of secessien.no rights of a State remain ; that all the rights of the States perished when the union of the States was restored. We appeal from the Republican party in 1879 to the Republican party in 1880. . Ti:r. eutbim-a faktv
