Tbe several precincts aro outi led to the following representative) : extravagance in both public and pri vate life. Senators and Cabinet offi cers r-pend hundreds of .thousands g year on a legitimato income of ten thousand or lcsi. However much we may scoff at the suggestion that there should bo less ostentation and a more vigorous adhesion to the primitive habits of tho statesman of a half cen tury ago, it- is the only way this gov ernment can succeed. Whilo we are loading of our ceutennial birth year os a nation, we aro still cerjturicg from the climax. The nation is but a well grown, awkward youth, and should beware of aping the extravagant habits and indulging in the dissipa tions of its ciders. General Sherman states that there are but two Capinet ofiicors in Washington who can live within their income, and tbeso are Messrs. Fish and Chandler, whoso in somes are in the neighborhood of two buudred thousand dollars each. This is a statement upon which tho people of this nation can ponder with ad vantage to themselves. It is they who must pay for all tins extrava gance, and 'hoy ulouo can change tho condition of affairs. Orctfou Itullroad Prokpccla, L'lodhoppar'a Deal. There now ! I atn umlone !

He 'is in formed by a private dispatch that Mr, Lane has introduced in tho House a bill providing far the transfer of tho land grant upon tho Pen d'Oroillo bran:b of the North Pacific liailroad to tho Portland, Dalles and Salt Lake lailroad. This bill has been referred to the CommiUeo on Pacific railroads, and is regarded by Mr. Chapman as of very grea', importance, and moro kely to provo a success than any measuro yet attempted fur tho bene fit of this State, No mention in any quarter is being mado of the proposed Oregon Central Pacilio from Eugene to Wiiinemucca, and wo oonclude that it is a thing of tho far-off future, u it is ever built. Tho Earning Journal of tho 6th has tho following on this subject : Wo understand that Mr. Holladay has, Bold bis entire interest i it rail roads, steamships, steamboats nl other property in this Stato to the holders of tho bonds issued in the construction of tho East rind West bide railroads.
