The Oregon City Enterprise says: "Our
readers are aware that a short time since
Mr. J. W. Virtue, banker at Baker City,
suspended and made an assignment of bis
creditors, reserving nothing. Last week
his criediiors met and eiamined his ac­
counts and business, and after due consid­
eration turned over his entire property to
him for the purpose of resuming business,
expressing at the same time their unlim­
ited confidence in his Integrity, business
capacity, and abilily to pay his debts.
We are more than gratified at this action,
for Eastern Oregon does not contain a
man who has done more to advance and
develop her interests and resources, than
J. W- Virtue, and his loss to that commu­
nity, as a business man, could hardly be
replaced. We arc satisfied that the con­
fidence that has been expressed by his
creditors will never be betrayed, and all
will be settled to the entire satisfaction of
those interested.

Democrats may well consider it a sub­
ject of congratulation that the different
aspirants for Congressional honors are
stumping the State in a bod$. The supe­
riority of Mr. Lane over all his competi­
tors alone is sufficient to foretell the Dem­
ocratic triumph. Those people who are
tmdecided in their opinions, thinking,
perhaps, each platform equally good, but
■who are determined to vote only for a
man of whom they may be proud, for a
man who will be alive to the best inter­
ests of Oregon and be at all times on the
alert for her defense; those people, in a
word, who “ prefer the man to party prin­
ciples,” now that the candidates speak to­
gether, can form but one opinion, and can
make none other than Mr. Lane their
ehoice.
In this quadrilateral campaign, the vot­
ers are enabled to weigh and measure for
themselves, and this, we repeat, to Dem­
ocrats, should be a sunject o f general re­
joicing. Mr. Warren, without wit or
words; Mr. Whitney without a party, Mr.
Dimick without hearers; is it.to be won­
dered that Mr, Lane has made for him­
self so many friends ? The contrast be­
tween the two standard-bearers of the
two leading parties is too great. The one
conversant with all the issues of ihe day,
dignified in diction., and trenchant in at­
tack; the other ignorant of the popular
feeling concerning North and South, un­
acquainted with the great topics that cre­
ate and agitate adverse parties; unable
to express himself either un'derstanding-
ly or gramaticaliy; we reiterate is it not
a subject of congratulation to Democrats
that the different candidates for Congress
are stumping the State in a body ?

A correspondent o f the Lafayette Courier, writing
from Amity Yamhill County, under date o f Sept-
13111, 1875, gives the following bit c f interesting his­
tory of how and when the present Radical candidate
for Congress became a Know-Nothing :
In my last commimicatin I intimated that you
would hear from me again. In my sauntering I
came in possession of the following iact that Henry
Warren was a member o f tho Know-Nothing order
in town of McMinnville. How he got into the Wig-
wam 1 don’t know, unless he perjuied himself.
For I sec by article 2d, of membership, section 1-
"N o person shall be proposed as a member o f this
order, unless he be a free white male of good mor­
al character, o f the age o f twenty-one years and a
native o f the United States, and an American born
cuizen.”
1 find the name of Henry Warren in the minutes
of a meeting held the 23d, o f May, 1855, that he
was admitted and took the following oaths :
F ir s t

sacred volume, i.c.
1st. What is your name?
2d. Your age?
3d. Your residence?
4th. Where were you born?
5th. Are you willing to use all the influence you
possess in favor of native-born American citizens
tor all offices of honor, trust or profit in the gift of
the people, and do you promise to vote for them
to the exclusion of all aliens and foreigners, for all
local, State and Government offices?

if
Tho Radical party failng to find anything to
fight Mr. Lane tor but the school question, they
have centered their whole power and energy to that
one question and have endeavored to bring a ques-
ti jn o f a purly local character into National politics
Mr. Lane has been falsely accused everywhere as
being opposed to free schools and in favor o f a di­
vision of the school fund for sectarian purposes, bnt
the Corvallis Gazette, a Radical paper which would
Baturally incline to its own side of the questionj
gives tho lie to all false assertions heretofore made
against Mr. Lane since his nomination. In giving
a synopsis o f M r-Lane’ s speeeh at that place on
Wednesday last, it sa ys;
Mr. Lane declared himself the champion o f free
schools, opposed to sectarian distribution of school
funds, and claimed that the granting o f the 16th and
36th sections of public lands for school purpose
were Democratic measures, and closed stauing, pos-
i tivly, that he was certain to be elected to Congress.
At Albany we are informed that Mr. Lane made
the same declarations and the great audience rose
as one man and gave him long and vehement cheers.
Our informant also states that the Radicals were
crestfallen, recognizing t hat their' last support had
fallen, and their last battery silenced. During the
remainder o f tho campaign. Mr. Lane will only
have to walk over the track.
Warren Is a know-Notliing In politics
and a know-nothing by nature.
A n I ron M ax .—'The dispatches intimate that De­
lano’s successor in the Secretaryship of the Interior
will be Mr. Coleman, o f Pennsylvania. They go
further, in telling us “ what manner o f man he is,”
and somewhat ambiguously declare far back in the
history of this country Coleman’s ancestors settled
in the territory now known as the Keystone State,
on a tract of land which contained immense depos­
its o f iron ore, and “ that ore has made the present
Coleman. >’ Let us hope that enough o f the miner­
al was used in the construction of his spinal column
to enable him to withstand the horde o f grabbers
and swindling contractors who beset his predecess­
or. As another qualification for the responsible
position, it is said Coleman is “ rich beyond tempt­
ation.” N ow w em ight believe that IPs iron ore
“ made him’ ” in a figurative sense, or that he raised
a whole regiment o f soldiers for the war at his own
expense, aud supported their wives and children
while the husbands and fathers were absent, and
that he is a man o f good business and fine executive
ability, but if his riches is the only shield against
temptation, his iron backbone won’ t keep him
straight for even the partial term which he is ex ­
pected to be called upon to fill.
M URDERER AR RESTED.
A dispatch dated Winnemucca, Neva­
da, October 1st, says: A year ago last Au­
gust, a man named Walker, who was
traveling afoot in search of employment,
stopped one evening at Rattlesnake sta­
tion, on the Winnemucca and Idaho
road. The proprietor of the station, nam­
ed Bates, offered him employment mow-
ing, which he accepted. Bates was pro­
ceeding to get supper for Walker when
Robert Douglas, a man employed as hos­
tler by the N. W. Stage Co., invited W al­
ker to eat with him and save Bates the
trouble of cooking. Walker accepted,
and went with Douglas, but iu a few mo­
ments returned and remarked that he
was a strange man, to invite him to eat
supper, and, without provocation, threat­
en to kill him the moment he began to
eat. At this juncture Douglas appeared
with a shotjgun and shot Walker dead.—
Douglas mounted a stage horse and es­
caped to the next station, where he left
the horse and effected his escape by pub­
lic conveyance to Boise City, thence to
Kelton, being assisted, he now says, by
several prominent men In getting out of
the country. An inquest was held on the
murdered man. In his pocket letters
were found by which It was ascertained
that his name was Walker, and a wallet
containing §160 in money. Platt Burr,
than engaged in building the Nevada and
Northern telegraph line, obtained poss­
ession of the money and still retains it.—
This cold-blooded , unprovoked murder of
a way-faring man created great excite­
ment, and had the teamsters on the W in­
nemucca and Nevada road caught the
murderer they would have saved Oregon,
where the crime was committed, the ex­
pense of a trial. The governor of Oregon
took great interest in the affair, ¡¡and urg­
ed the authorities to spare uo pains or ex­
pense in tracking the murderer and bring­
ing him to justice. Sheriff Boyd, of Baker
County, two weeks ago learned his where,
abouts, and Douglas was arrested in the
employ of the Salt Lake and Helena Stage.
Co., and brought to Winnemucca last
night. Sheriff Nash started with him for
Oregon this morning. Douglas does not
deny the crime, but says it was done in
self defense.-
Since the above was in type, Sheriff
Boyd has arrived with his man.

The Salem Mercury says, for making capi­
tal out of nothing and sticking to it for the
truth commend us to the Radical papers of
this State. They have nothing to fight Mr.
Lane with except falsehoods and when they
are refuted these papers reiterate them.
They have been trying to make the school
question an issue in the campaign although
National politics and elections have nothing
to do with it. They have charged Mr. Lane
as being opposed to free schools, yet in his
opening campaign speech in this city he
said that the charges were falsa, and that he
was a aupporter of free schools and was de.
cidely in favor of their continuance; that
they were the corner stoics o f free govern­
ment and the palladium of human liberties.
We understand that in the campaign so fai
Mr. Lane has declared in favor of free
schools,and against the division of the school
fund for sectarian purposes, in every stamp,
and yet the Radical papers pretending to
represent truth aud justice are continuing
to charge that he is still against the common
school system of America.
They began to early iu the battle in manu­
facturing these falehoods against Mr. Lane.
The people are finding out that there is no
truth in them and the tide is beginning to
run in favor of Lane which will sweep him
into the Halls of Congress on the first
Monday o f Decmber next.

Warren, by all parties at the time of his
nomination, was considered a weak candi­
date, and since the campaign begun he has
done nothing t > place himself in any other
light before the people than a weak candidate.
He has been losing ground since his first
speeeh at Jacksonville. The Dallas Itemizer,
a neutral paper published at the Dallas, is
supposed to represent things as they are and
to the disadvantage of no one, says Warren s
speech at that place on last Thursday “ was a
grand failure;” That his ignorance was be­
yond what any of his friends thought. In
iact that his own party friends were com­
pletely disgusted with him, so much so that
lie would get but few votes iu Old Polk.
That paper also says that the contest has nar­
rowed down between Lane and Whitney, and
that Warren is out of the fight. This is the
feeling that seems to prevail in every locality
where the candidates have spoken. Let the
Democrats stand firm and together. Let us
give a strong pull and we will send Lane to
Congress by a majority running into the
thousands. Hurrah for Lane and fiee
schools.
S t . L o u i s , Sept. 28.—R. K . Turner,
whose arrest and conveyance to Califor­
nia, Missouri, charged with forging deeds
to a large quantity o f land, was reported
in these dispatches a few days ago, pub­
lishes a card which state that his prose­
cution In this case is carried on by parties
interested in a suit of ejectment, involv­
ing half a million dollars worth of proper­
ty in Chicago and people of the state of
Missouri, and that this proseculion is in­
tended to influence the iitgationin Chica­
go.
N ew O r le a n s , Sept. 28.—Galveston ad­
vises from Brazoria, dated the 23d,. con­
firm reports first received from Matagor­
da. The town was washed away, except­
ing only four houses, which remain stan­
ding. No lives lost The people were sa­
ved by clinging to cedar trees in the vicin­
ity. At the town of Columbia twenty
houses houses were blown down. No
lives reported lost. One man was killed
at Chenango by a fallingtree. Many plan­
tations have been greatly damaged, and
some literally torn to pieces. Sugar-
houses, gin-houses, fences and everything
partially or wholly blown down. Thegreat
losses cannot be correctly reported. Later
information from Matagorda say at a
meeting of citizens there the following
were appointed a committee to receive
and distribute to the suffering people:
Galen Hodges, W. S. Stewart and R. G.
Chesman. The committee report to the
country at large that the greater portion
of the town of Matagorda is laid in ruins,
and that not a single citizen of the town
has escaped serious injury to his property.
Many of them are entirely houseless,
without the necessities of life or means to
build a shelter over their heads. Our
court-house is somewhat damaged, hut
can be repaired without great expense.
The Odd Fellows' hall is a total loss, the
Episcopal church nearly so. All theship-
ping at this point is stopped or seriously
damaged. No lives lost in the town. In
Kenney’s prairie, as far as we are able to
learn, twenty-one persons were lost, and
their property all destroyed. On the up­
per peninsula twenty-one persons were
swept into the gulf and drowned, and all
their property an entire loss. We have as
yet heard of no deaths on the lower pe­
ninsula, but almost the entire desiruction
of houses and olher property.
“ DeCrow’s point has not yet been heard
from, nor the town of Palaccre. We have
not heard anything definite from Trespal-
acios yet. We hear of great destruction of
properly on the east side of the Golorada
river, but no lives lost. We have not yet
heard from Carris above Captain Duncan’s
plantation, but are satisfied from here to
the mouth there has been an entire loss of
crops, houses, cabins, gin and sugar hous­
es, etc, and five lives lost as far as heard
from. We request the Galveston News,
Houston, Austin, San Antonio and other
Texas papers, also those of New York,
Boston, Chicago and St. Louis to publih
these proceedings, and suoh other papers
as feel an interest in the cause of suffering
humanity. Such as may feel able and
disposed to help our suffering people will
send forward iheir contributions of money
or provisions to the committee above na­
med.”

The platform is a.good one, containing
hard money, free trade and oiher resolu­
tions worthy of the party adopting them.
Gov. Tilden’s administration was en­
dorsed. John Bigelow was nominated for
Secretary of State; Lucius Robinson for
Comptroller; Chas. S. Fairchild for Attor­
ney-General; Chas. N. Ross for State
'1 reasurer, awcj, John D. Van Buren for

with such a ticket and platform they
ought to be.

by the storm at either port.
G alveston , Sept. 28— The following ad­
ditional particulars are received from the
south of Brazos river: The number of per­
sons known to have lost their lives between
the peninsula and Barnard are fifty-seven.
Later information from Trinity river says
three schooners are high and dry in fields
naar the fork of Double & White’s bayous.
In the Trinity the water had swept over caue
12 feet above the bank of the river. Near
the mouth of Wallesville the land is low and
swampy. 1 he first house about the mouth
was formely owned by Dr. Phoelan, occupi­
ed by negroes. The house was entirely car­
ried aw.ay; not a vestige of it is to be seen.
Ther were nine negvo occupants, and eight
of the number were drowned.

The Eugene Guard says : Every Demo­
crat by education is taught as one of the
cardinal points of his faith that principles
never change. Other parties change, but
tlie Democratic party, being based upon
the eternal principles of truth and justice,
cannot perish. Tnis has been the tneory
for nearly a century. But at this late day
we find Democrats who have concluded
that principles can be changed , and that
they are using all their influence and ef­
forts to do this. One of the doctrines em­
bodied in tlie Democratic articles of faith
was that Congress has no.power to charter
a national bank ; that such an institution
was one of deadly hostility to the best in­
terests of the country ; dangerous to ou i
republican institutions and calculated to
place the business of the country within
ihe control of a concentrated money pow­
er. The Democratic National Convention
which convened in Cincinnati in 1856 de­
clared that the results of Democratic legis­
lation on this and all other financial mea­
sures upon which issues have been made
by the two political parties of the country
have demonstrated to candid and practi­
cal men of all parties the soundness, and
saftyand utility in all business pursuits of
the foregoing- This departure in Ohio is
not a new one, except as it is moved by the
Democrats, who have heretofore opposed
it Utterly and energetically. To advocate
the disfranchisement of all foreigners and
the repeal of all our naturalization laws
would not be farther from the cherished
principlesjof Democracy than to pronounce
for a cheap currency. as has been done by
the Democrats of Otiio and -Feuusylvania.
The history of the past century is complete
afgument against this new financial theo­
ry of our party. Jetlerson in his State
papers never failed to add his testimony
in favor of hard money as acurrency. The
new deal demands that Government shall
take it own promises to pay at par, and
receive its money for alt debts. This is
all right ; but the question is how can this
be done b-. adding millions more of cur­
rency to the already large volume of that
comparatively worthless article? It is
not reasonable to suppose that such a
course would increase he value of a pa­
per dollar, or decrease the value of a coin
dollar. The action of the Democratic par­
ty in New York, which has repudiated
this false theory will go far towaid settl­
ing this question. It is to be hoped that
it will close out the inflationist and that
our party can be united on a nard money
piatiorm in 1876.
The Portland Journal announces that it
will support Hon. L. F. Lane for Congress.
“ BAR R EN ”
V IC T O R Y .
The Orgonian attemps to detract from the
glory of the late Democratic triumph Cali­
fornia by asserting that it is a ’’barren victo­
ry,” and that the successful candidates are in
fact minority officials. The latest returns,
which will be changed very little by the
official count.however deno’e that Irwin has;
61,525 votes for Governor; Phelps. 30,922-
Bidwell, 29,630 Irwin consequentlyis elect­
ed bv almost a thousand maj irityover all, a-i
heard from. There is something very en­
vious about the Oregonian’s remarks in this
relation. Strenuous efforts were made by
all parties to carry the State, and the result
was anxiousy looked for over the entire Un­
ion. The returns even the most sanguine
Democrats, and everywhere they hailed the
victory as a most a most glorious triumph.
It. has filled the opponents of the Democracy
with dismay, and the Oregonian is the first
sheet that refers to this event as a “ barren
victory.” But what else can he expected o f
an organ that aspires to be chief fugleman o f
the Republican party in an election close at
hand? It knows full well that those remarks
are nothing else than buncombe to throw a
damper on enthusiasticDemocratsand check
weak-kneed Republican and Independents
from stampeding into Democratic ranks.
Its efforts will be in vain, however, as the re­
turns in October next will evince. A few
more such “ barren victories” and the De­
mocracy will reign supreme throughout the
land.
