WONDERFUL ASSEKSION.
The model democrat of Massachns
etts familiaTly known as Ben Butler
and who has recently been lifted into
the high chair of State ha? always"
been a much abnsed man. He has
often been called Spoon Butler by
his enemies, bnt then there is noth
ing much in a name and wo never
did believe that he had more spoons
than he needed. We always de
nooTioe the spoon business as a big
sized falsehood, gotten ip by some
unscrupulous republican (?) to injure
his fair name because he is a- good
democrat. Then there was that yarn
about that famous order which he
was said to have given concerning
the ladiesy when in New Orleans,
while in command of the soldiers
there. The ladies however have be
come oonvinoed that it was all a po
litical fabrication gotten up to injure
poor Ben, because he is a good dem
ocrat, now warming the chair of
state under a democratic banner.
Some of those who pretend to be able
to tell of the future of the democratic
party are already predicting that
Honest Ben. will more than likily be
tbe next democratic nominee for
president, as embodying the quint
essenso of democratic principles and
as having the main qualification in
the anquenching desire for the office.
ADVERTISING.
There are a great many people
who are quite easily induced to ad
vertise in directories, pamphlets and
a like class of publications, who al -ways
refuse to advertise in the newspaper.-
At the same time not- one
hundredth part of tbe number of peo
ple ever have the opportunity to see
an advertisement in a directory or
pamphlet t what does in a newspa
per. When the advertisement is
placed in tbe former that issue of a
few hundred is all that ever contains
the ad. while if the same advertise
ment is placed-in a weekly newspaper
as many nnmbers are issued every
week during the fifty-two weeks of
the year, thus giving fifty-two chan
ces for the ad. to be seen in a weekly
newspaper to where it is in books of
the class above named.
Tc advertise profitably in propor
tion to the money expended, requires
stndy and thought. By all parties
who have made the question of adver
tising a study it is unanimously con
ceded that the newspaper is the best
because it is constantly being circu
lated among the people ever j week, i
a weekly, and each day if a daily
Besides of all other means newspaper
advertising is conceded to be the
cheapest by far.
THE GAZETTE.
The time of year for reading is ap-
proaehmg and people will soon be
selecting their newspapers for the
coming year. In a little over a
month the Gazette will start on the
20th year of its existance, and when
that year rolls around the Corvallis
Gazette will than be twenty years
Id. We feel confident in sayin
that during all of that time it never
has prospered better than during tbe
last year. Ever since we commen
ced laboring with it it has steadily
been increasing In subscriptions- and
advertising patronage. The material
for making a variety of news ia not
to be found so much in a small place
like this, as it is in larger places, yet
wa have endeavored at all times to
give all news of interest to the reader.-
If eaeh friend of the Gazette
will take it in hand and obtain
one new subscriber, for it, paya
ble in advance, for the coming year
it will about double our subscription
list which will aford revenue sufficient
for ns to make valuble improvements
to the paper which all will highly
appreciate. ,
Let every reader of the Gazette
lend their influence in this direction.
The better a newspaper is patronized
the more valuble it becomes to all its
readers, for the proprietors, when the
paper is flourishing financially, are al
ways ready and willing to expend
he means for the improvement of its
solnmns.
Circuit court convenes here next
joday morning and will continue
several days, daring which time
we do not expect to have much time
to devote to the Gazette. Any at
tention of ours which may be lacking
thereto we hope will be excused, for
which we will endeavor to make up
some other time. The present num
ber will be found wanting in its usual
supply of editorial matter for the
same reason.

Quite a sensation was created at a cirens
at Marquette, Mich., recently. In the act
where a circus rider, disguised as a drunk
en tramp, falls into the ring and wants to
ride a horse, the ringmaster threw the
drunkard ont, and with much seeming in
dignation asked why there were no police
men around to keep order. A German po
liceman, who was standing by, and who
knew the man belonged to the circus, felt
indignant at having the police abused, so ho
took the alleged drunken man, and notwith
standing the circus people tried to explain
the circumstances, he was hustled offto the
lock-up, and the act was left out. After
the show the proprietor went to the jail
and got the performer out, and abused the
policeman a little for being so officious,
The policeman said: "Veil a choke is i
choke, but ven a man zay vere is de bolice
and vy don'd dey arrest dat drunk man,
den de Marquette bolice is in dot vicinity,
and don t you rorgot it, Mr. Circus, I bet
you."

New York, Nov. 12. The commissioners
of the IGarfield monument fund met last
night and formed a permanent organization
Minneapolis, Nov. 12. Navigation closed
on the Missouri river yesterday.
Cincinnati, JNov. 12. James lioroid, a
man seventy years old, had $5000 in gov
ernment bonds stolen from his dwelling on
Madison Pike road, east of this city, by
bnrglars. Coupons for the interest which
had not been drawn for seventeen years
were still attached which makes the loss
nearly double.
Boston, Nov. 11. Those persons, and
they were doubtless numerous, who were
expecting Hon. Jas. G. Blame to seize the
opportunity to make an attack on the ad
ministration were doomed to disappoint
ment. The ex-secretary was in the city
several hours yesterday on his way from
Augusta to Washington, and while here he
refused to be interviewed. He neverthe
less talked freely to one or two personal
friends concerning the political situation.
He does not see in Tuesday's reverse any
thing to cause despondency for the future
fo the republican party. The democratic
Party suffered an overwhelming defeat in
1840 but carried the election in 1844. The
republican party war practically beaten in
several northern states in 1832, but
Abraham .Lincoln carried all except one or
two 1864. He believes victory may be a
chioved in 18S4 by presenting as candidate
for president a man upon whom both fact
ions can unite and who has the confidence
of the country. It looks to him as if Ben
Harrison was the one for the exigency, and
to the accomplishment of that result he will
lend his influence as a private citizen who
believes republican success in 1884 is essen
tial to the welfare of the country. Blaine,
there is reason to believe, is in earnest in
saying he is not a candidate for the presi
denty or for any other office. In August
last he said, ' 'I am not a candidate, and it
now looks to me that I shall never be a
candidate." To-day he reaffirmed this
statement and left off the qualifying clause
His language now is, ' 'I want you to dis
tinctly understand I am no candidate for
the presidency nor any other office, and
nothiug can induce me to be. This was t0
an intimate friend of Blaine.
Boston, Nov. 11, Secretary Chandler
and Senator Blair, of New Hampshire, was
together awhile this afternoon. Blair when
questioned remarked that in his opinioh if
Butler carried Massachusette in 1883.
TELEGRF.MS.
Washington, Nov. 12. The rumor that
Assistant Secretary New had resigned start
ed here again yesterday, but is premature.
At least it grows out of a well-known fact
that -New does not like his position, and
wants the secretaryship of nothing. By
common consent, tolgeror New must go.
V ery nearly a year ago now New became
assistant secretary, succeeding Upton. Up
ton had been political manager of the de
partment, both under Sherman and under
Windom. When New succeeded him. Sec
retary Folger having just been inducted in
to office, he naturally supposed he was suc
ceeding, not only to Upton's throne, but to
Upton's sceptre. In fact his friends assert
with great positiveness that, knowing Fol
ger to be comparatively untrained in the
arts of political politics, the president ap
pointed New to run tLe treasury for him, so
far as its politics went. But the secretary
proved refractory. He insisted on know
ing all about everything done in his name,
and was too tender hearted to allow men
and women to be discharged merely because
someone else wanted their places.
With control over appointments New
had nothing in particular to do. He signs
his name to documents just like the chief of
the Bureau, but has no real discretion or
power. His position does not"' amount to
much more than that of a hand stamp. How
unsatisfactory this is to a man of New's
ideas, temperament and ambitions can be
imagined. . Mention is being made of the
trouble caused by New's promises of offices
which Folger refused to give. Folger did
not like it necause -ew made the promise
and New did not like it because Folger
did not allow tbe promises to be kept. It
is now said the way out cf the difficulty has
been found, which is for old Judge Bradley
of the supreme courtto retire for Folger to
take his place and New to be secretary.
Washington, Nov. 12. Secretary Folger
yesterday afternoon made public the reperts
of the various commissions appointed to ex
amine custom houses with a view of rend
ering the service more efficient. The com
mission which visited San Francisco report
the present export ollwtion en about
he
would be a very strong tfcS5fe for the
democratic nomination, anoyne contest in
in that state next year he thinks will be the
bitterest ever Know, ana tsutler s promm
ence in the national democratic party de
ponds entirely on his re-election to the gov
ernship. Senator Blair expressed the opin
ion that Butler is anyway the strongest
man the democrats can nominate in 1884,
as he is especially strong with the negroes of
the south and he ia a firm reporter of Ma
honism.
New York, Nov. 13. The Sunjinaweek
ly review of Wall street affairs, has tbe
following concerning James Gordon Ben
nett's new cable scheme, the making and
laying of the cable to cost $2,200,000, of
which Bennett has subscribed $1,000,000
and promised another 1,000,000 if a second
cable is necessary and the capital be raised
to $5,000,000.
ihe new cabde will be worfced in con
junction with the Baltimore and Ohio tele
gradh system, and the Herald advises
western newspapers not to make any con
tracts with the Western Union, until Ben
nett is ready to send them on philanthropic
principles with his new toy.
Chicago, Nov. 13. The Times will pub
lish a story in the morning to the effect
that the Chinese dwarf, Chee Mah, 45 years
old and 44 inches high, is about to marry a
young woman aged 19, who gives the name
of Fannie Coleman, and is said to be of
well-to-do Catholic parents in New York.
New York, Nov. 13. The captain of the
brig Letitia, arrived to-day from Meragone,
reports that Sept. 21st, when near St Marc,
Hayti, a large comet of great brilliancy was
seen bearing east by south and visible for
some time after sunrise. The captain says
that the comet has been visible in Hayti
some time and is very large and brilliant.
As we came northward it diminished in size
and brightness, and appeared moving in a
more southerly direction - over Hayti. It
was seen as late as 10 A. M. in the day and
appeared much lartrer than upon- our ap
proach to New York. Moat of the people
in Hayti think their last day has come.
After the comet of last year they had small
pox and lost upwards of 60,000 lives.
Washington, Nov. 13. Pension Commis
sioner Dnrley is preparing tables for his an
nual report, and has made the discovery
that there are 100,000 ex-soldiers yet living
in the United States who have never ap
plied for pensions. These men are getting
along in years, and disorders contracted in
Postmaster-General Howe has been de
bating the propriety of recommending in
his annual leport the establishment of a
postoffice savings bank in connection with
the money order system of the postoffice
department, and has finally come to the con
clusion not to make such a recommendation,
but to leave the matter to congress. For
the past few years each successive postmaster-general,
from Creswell down to May
nard, has recommended a postal savings
bank, but congress has never taken kindly
to it.
Such banks, in the opinion of the post
office officials who have strongly advocated
them, are now passed being organized. The
postal bank system presupposes a perma
nent national debt, that the savings de
posited may find an investment for which
the government is responsible. In fifty
years, at the present rate of paying off the
debt there will be no government bonds in
the market, and hence no basis upon which
to build a postal savings bank system.
Washington, Nov. 13. Commenting on
the election, a correspondent says: '"More
than half of the faces will be new ones."
Washington. Nov. 13. Henry George de
livered a lecture last night under the aus
pices of the federation of labor. During
the course of his remarks George called at
tention to the alarming growth in strength
of railroad corporations, and recommended
as the only practicable check threats of the
absorption of their property by the govern
ment. In the result of the recent election
George saw a promise of revulsion in the
popular feeling which would result in bring
ing forward great industrial and economic
principles. Invitations to be present had
been tendered to the president and his cab
inet; but none of them attended.
Indian Commissioner Price to-day re
ceived information that the U. S. marshal
in Indian territory had seized a quantity of
liquor belonging to officers of the army which
was being conveyed into the territory. The
law provides that no liquor except for med
ical purposes can be brought into that coun
try. The commander of the department
protests against the seizure and says it is
illegal. The protests are said to bo en
dorsed by Gens. Sherman and Sheridan.
The matter will be brought to the attention
of Secretary Teller.
Washington, Nov. 13. There is consid
erable discussion over awarding the con
tract for dredging the Potomac flats. It is
said a Washington bidder has been bought
off in order to let the contract go to the next
lowest bidder, who is a New York man.
There is talk of bringing the subject to the
attent on of the committee on the district
when congress assembles, and considerable
discontent is shown that anything occurred
involving delay in the work, which is gen
erally recognized should be done at the ear
liest possible moment.
Clerks sent out to the Prcifie coast by
the Indian office to purchase and award In
dian supplies, have returned. Supplies to
the weight of 486.S72 pounds, and costing
over $75,000, were purchased, being an in
crease over the last purchase in weight of
94,475 pounds. The quality of the supplies
was fully up to last year's standard, whili
the cost was fully ien per cent. less. .
Washington, Nov. 13. Ex-Surgeon Gen
eral Barnes continues in such feeble health
as to cause his friends great anxiety. Wood
ward, another of President Garfield's phy
sicians, is also very low. He has not been
able to raise his head since his return from
Europe two months ago. Woodward's
friends have little hope of his recovery.
Washington, Nov. 13. Hints are heard
that Folger will succeed Justice Bradley of
the supreme court, who will be 70 years old
in February and will consequently retire.
New will succeed Folger and Gorham will
be offered the place vacated by New.
Philadelphia, Nov. 13. Samuel J. Kan
dall was hunted up to-day for a talk on the
future of the democratic party. Deferring
to the November elections Mr. Randall
said, 1 believe the recent democratic and
reform success means a declaration by the
people m favor of greatly reducing public
expenses both in general and local govern
ment. Such reductions are easily retainable
and can be secured without friction to pro
per administration. Republican control has
led to extravagance in every direction, and
the people believe that those in power are
not equal to the accomplishment of such re
sult. There are many questions vital to the
prosperity 'of the country that must be met,
and among the number none is of more im
portance than the doing away with the in-,
ternal revenue system. As for myself, I am
in favor of an absolute and entire repeal of
all such taxation. The republicans .made
fatal mistake in not co-operating with the
democrats at tbe last session of congress in
securing the then proposed reduction of
$70,000,000. Now the whole system must
go-
London, Nov. 13. The steamer West
phalia, of the Hamburg-American line, from
New York, Nov. 2d, for Hamburg, via Ply
mouth, has put into Portsmouth with a hole
in her port bow, received by a collision with
an unknown steamer off Beachy Head early
this morning. The Westphalia is making
water rapidly and will be docked. A boat
lowered from the WestphaKa to search for
the other steamer is missing. A steamer
has been sent to search for the missing boat
and steamer.
Later It is believed the missing steamer
has gone to the bottom with all hands, also
the missing boat of the Westphalis, which
contained an officer and six men. The
officers of the Westphalia report that it was
intensely dark at the time of , the collision
with a heavy sea.
New York, Nov. 14. The suit of Sam
Wilkeson against Henry Ward Beecher,
was called to-day before Judge Barrett in
the supreme court. The action is for breach
cf contract. Beecher contracted with tbe
publishing firm of Ford & Co., in December,
1869, to write a life of Christ. He agreed
to write the book within 18 months and re
ceived as part payment in advance, and be
fore signing the contract, $10,000, Wilke
son was a partner in the firm and paid the
advance. Since then the plaintiff says he
the service are manifesting themselves in has never been able to get the book from
pensionable disabilities. The prevalent idea Mr. Beecher nor the $10,000 advanced for
that the pension rolls should be decreasing . it. The first part was furnished Ford & Co.
at this fame be thinks is erroneens.
I torn yean ago sad was published and cir
culated. Tha second part was only partial
ly furnished-by the defendant. The plain
tiff alleges he was putto considerable ex
pense in preparing for printing the work
and sues to recover these expenses. When
the case was called to-day both sides were
ready. Beecher was present and sat by kis
counsel, Thos. G. Sherman.
Counsel for. defendant moved to dismiss
the complaint on the ground that it did not
state the payment of royalty to, the bearer
hod been fulfilled and a statement had not
been given him as to the number of books
published. Counsel also moved to dismiss
the complaint upon the paper itself. Judge
Barrett denied the motion. A number of
papers were put in evidence and the first
witness called. John R. Howard, a member
of the firm of Howard 4 Co.
Lexington, Ky., Nov. 14. About three
hundred men of John H. Morgan's com
mand met here yesterday and formed a per
manent organization, with General Basil
Duke president. Mrs. Morey, of Chicago,
sister of Gov. Blackburn, was present and
elected honorary president, and the mother
of Gen. Morgan and the wife of Gen. Duke
were made honorary vice presidents. It
was determined to hold a grand reunion in
camp near this city next July, and invite
a!l who served in the confederacy. Speeches
were made by Gen. Duke, Gen. R. M.
Gano and Lieutenant Governor Cantrell.
Those present marched in a body to the
residence of Mrs. Morgan and paid their
respects to the mother of their commander.
In a side hall, accompanying an old portrait
of Gen. Morgan, hung the stars and bars,
and outside, in front of the building, floated
the stars and stripes.
Wilmington, N. C, Nov. 14. The vote
of this state is so dose between Bennett and
Dockery for congressmen at large, that it
will probably take the official count to de
cide the result. The chances seem in favor
of Bennett, democrat, by 500 majority.
Springffeld, Nov. 14. Complete official
returns on the state legislature show the
next house will have 77 republicans, and
the senate 31 republicans, as already indi
cated in these dispatches, giving that party
12 majority on joint ballot and control of
both branches.
Washington, Nov. 14. The outgo of
silver dollars from the treasury continues
to be large and this month will probably ex
ceed tho coinage by considerable. The de
mand at this season of the year does- not
give the treasurer much encouragement 'for
a permanent depletion of his coffers of stan
dard dollars, because every year the outgo
during the autumn months is not very much
and it regularly stops short the first of Jan
uary, and it is at a standstill for the next
six months cr until the time arrives for the
movement of another corn crop in the south
western state.
Washington, Nov. 14. A cabinett meet
ing was held to-day. No business of im
portance was transacted. The principal
topics of discussion were several reports of
executive officers. Secretary Chandler took
occasion to remark that the elections were
not discussed. It is estimated that 50 con
tested election cases will come before the
house of representatives in the next con
gress. Washington, Nov. 14. Acting Secretary
Joslyn has decided the case of Williams vs.
the heirs os Hodgman, at Benson, Minn., in
favor of the heirs. It appears that Hondg
man made an entry on land of Williams on
the ground that Williams died and left his
entry incomplete. The acting secretary
held that the heirs should be allowed to
complete the entry.
Washington, Nov. 14. It is believed that
some of the aged clerks in the postoffice de
partment will be weeded cut on the first of
the month. Many of them are said to be
incapacitated from duty. The Star says
some removals will also be made because
clerks refused to pay assessments.
San Francisco, Nov. 14, In tho case of
Fook Ah Hein, the Chinese merchant who
arrived on the steamer Coptic and was not
permitted to land. Judge Hoffman, of the
U. S. district court, to-day sustained the
writ of habeas corpus permitting him to
land, on the ground of the decision that,
although the applicant had no certificate, it
was proved by sufficient evidence that he
was a merchant and consequently needed
none. Three other Chinamen are detained
on the Coptic, and the district attorney
thinks that evidence must be produced in
court to admit of their landing, but Judge
Hoffman expressed the opinion that the
collector of the port could make inquiries
and if satisfied they were merchants, conld
allow them to land.
drew his revolver and commenced firing at
them. One shot took effect in Vincent's
left arm and another in his abdomen. His
companion ran into the brush where their
horses were, caught one and soon brought
up help from the Springs. The assassin
made his escape and Vincent is not expected
to live. A party of citizens are in pursuit
of the would-be murderer, whose object is
unknown- except it be robbery.
