A Democratic cones;-ondent informs
us that Republicans about him insist
that the Rnrlingame treaty with China
wa-s made before the war and under
Democratic administration. Nothing
could lie further from the truth. An
son Rurlingamo was apioitiled (J. H.
Minister to China by President Lincoln
in lSul, and continued in that otdtion
until 1SG7, when he wua displaced. On
his retirement from tho Ministership
he was appointed by the then Regent of
China, Prince Kuwg, to visit the United
States and other foreign governments
for treaty purpose. He first came to
the United States, and on July 1, ISCS,
what is now known as the Rurlingamo
treaty was duly peifected and ratified
at Washington Andrew Johnson, who
was elected Vice President on the tick
et with Lincoln, Wing then President.
This is the truth of Litory, hence
any attempt to saddle that odious meas
ure upon tho Democracy is utterly false
and futile. It is stricllyia- Republican
affair, emanating from Republicans and
ratified by Republicans, and litis been
sustained by a Republican President's
veto of a law to cbanrro it.

This is the last week of service of
our present county officers. Next
Tuesday the newly-elected gentlemen
take their places. The retiring officers
go to pi i vat e life followed by the kind
ly feelings and good will of the people
of Linn, irregpeclira of party. Care
ful, judicious, and strictly honest in
their management of our county affairs,
uniformly gentlemanly, courteous and
obliging in their official stations, they
deservedly carry with them into retire
ment the plaudit cf "well done, gocd
and faithful servants."
The new incumbents will enter upon
their duties text Monday with every
thing "ship-shape" and convenient ' to
their hands, and we can wish them no
better fortune than at the close of their
official terms they may merit the same
anplause that follows their predecessors
into the walks of private life.

Against Garfield n pei -feet flood of
vharigc:i arc made all of them tf a

the worst of thesu is what is known as
tho "Do Golyer contract fee," a trans
action which stumps tho Radical Presi

and a dangerously corrupt man it man
notwithstanding hi.-t hyjHicritical cler

with any position where honesty aud
fidelity aro reipiired as a safeguard
against corruption ami plundering.
The Orfjonlan is about the only pa-
K-r which has had tho temerity to ersay
a denial or a defense of this lie Golyer

signally fails in its puerile t-Ilbrts. The

any student of recent public history
that one of the iuott notoiiousof the
many corrupt contracts made by IJoaa

a wood jiavement. This contract ent
ered (10,000 yard, ot $:$.."0 a yard
which the MiH'rintcndcut of the con

there was a' rlean profit of $ 100,01 to

which we have from tho Portland jour

Comment is unnecessary. Tho letter
tells its own story no plainly that a fool
cannot err. Hayes, in his civil service

Mr. EHedge is a minister in the

signed "Oneatta," giving tlm results of
the election from a Republican stand
point. He ajijieais to Im very much
exercised over the idea of the employes
at the Siletz Indian Agency working
and voting for " a man who drinks and
plays jiedro." Those men exercised
their lights by voting aguinst a man
who Lad used all hit influence against
them by writing and circulating falso
rejiorts in regard to tho management of
the Agency. Tho Yaquinailca gave
Mr. Oneatta a lnefit two yeats ago.
He traveled over the county setting up
the- primaries so as to secure the nomi
nation for Sheriff ; but the Republicans
in this section thought it U-st for him
to remain on the Ray and keep his
family near the Reservation, where
they belong.
Our friend Reuscll fccU very much
hurt over his defeat, and cornea out in
the (ln:etle, giving Judge McFaddcn a
benefit. If lie would call on Doctor
Leo I think ho could learn tho cause of
Iris defeat. The Doctor had more to do
with it than the Judge. The former
could influence Republicans not t roto
for Bcnsell, but tho latter could not
keep seventy-five lemocrats from vot
ing for him. So he ran blame tho Ro-

In the Congressional investigation of

mittee in spite of Mr. Garfield's sworn
statement to the contrary, reported as
follows : -
"The facts in regard to Mr. Garfield,
as found by the committee, aro that he
agreed with Mr. Ames to tako ten
shares of Credit Mobilier stock, but
did not pay for the same. Mr. Ames
received the eighty per cent, dividend
in bonds and Bold them for ninety-seven
per cent., and also received tho sixty
Ier cent, cash dividend, which, together
with the price of the stock and inter
est, left a balance of $329. This sum
was paid over to Mr. Garfield by a
check on the Sergeant-at-Arms,and Mr.
Garfield then understood this sum was
the balance of dividends after paying
for the stock."

eu,i this morning, after paying Gon.
Hancock a very high compliment as a
man and n soldier speaks of tho
ticket as follows: Tho ticket la built
to run nnd win. It will unite all ele
ments of popularity, all elements of
success. It lias not a flaw In Its
armor, and tho nhafts of partisan ma
lice wilt find no weak spot to touch.
It will require Jnelthcr apology nor
defense. The democrats at Cincin
nati have done their work wisely and
well. Tho peoplo will do the rest.-
Tho Timet says: Tho Convention
at Cincinnati yesterday, did Hi work
promptly and welL Hit had delib
erated a week it could not have
made a stronger ticket, or an abler
ono or a moro nceeptablo ono to the
party nnd to the mass of tho people.
Its action had tho rush of a cyclone
and tho wisdom of an Inspiration.
Gen. Hancock's iomlnatlon was In
the highest spontaneous. He had no
following obsequious personal parti
sans, ho was surrounded by no coterie
of trained politicians, who have a
right to claim a rovcrsionary interest
In him and hWnmpaign.ho had not a
literary bureau disseminating exag
gerated compliments and eulogies of
him. His campaign was entirely
without agencies that aro ordinarily
considered essential to success, and
as a consequenco ho - Is without polit
ical complication and engagements,
and stands for tho best clement in his
party and country.

General Hancock is a choice of tho
very liest men suggested for tho po
sition. In so fur ns It was possible
for tho democratic national conven
tion to sottlo the issues of tho war and
lav away the bloody shirt It has been
done. By tho acceptance of a Union
general and a soldier who did gallant
service for tho nation during tho re
bellion, the south has indeed' mode
good tho words of General Hubbard,
when yesterday he nsestod that all
that Dixie wanted was pcaco and
their only weapon an olive branch.
It also Justifies General Grant's frr-
quom assertions mat tho south was
quiet, and determined to accept tho
results of the war. It way bo regard
ed as reasonably certain that tho de
feat of THdon having !ccn accom

the ticket, and that the democracy

Nashville, Juno 21. The Ameri
can will say of tho ticket to-morrow
It is said that Louisiana and Texas
cherished tho name of Hancock and
followed his political fortunes in de
feat until their grateful and gallant
persistence have made him the pres
ident of tho United States. His
Louisiana and Texas letter was not
bis sole titlo to respect and honor.
His acts wero in accord with his
principles. Almost alone of tho s.c-
cosful generals, ho stood firm against
tho Insane popular clamor of tho Re
publicans, and the political plotters
against civil liberty and civil govern
ment, wno invoivcu mo whole coun
try In the evils consequent upon recon
structlon and iKtrpct-baggers. When
urani, tno honorable soldier with a
name untarnished, consented to bo
anything for political preferment,
Hancock stood squarely on principle.
Of him it may be truly said, though
the quotation be hackneyed, that "be
never trooked tho pregnant hinges of
the kneo that thrill might follow
fawning." It is meet and well bellis
tho timo and the occasion, that they
who stood by tho civil government In
the darkest hour of tho republic,
should bo called to tho highest civil
chair in that very hour when at last
that civil government U to be made
perfect, and restoration and reeonellla
tlon complete. There U tho d.iwn of

in Piatt's Hall and on Montgomery

and transparencies fromall quarters of

erected at the corner of Pine and an
other at Rush, and in a few minutes
both were surroundeu by cheering
crowds, whilo another poured info
Piatt's Hall until the building was
filled to its utmost capacity. The
hall was clganlly decorated with Gags,

toes. The 1 l.itform was occupied by a
galaxy of Democratic stars. A band
discoursed music between speeches,
and tho bet orators of the party ad
dressed tho assemblage indoors and
out. There are moro Democrats to

than Glenn had votes itt tho ci'y at
