A special meeting of the Board of xraao was Held last evening, ior ine object of considering the various commercial iuterests requiring State legislation, and the course to be pur sued by the board in urging these non-political measures upon tue varv ous candidates in the ditlbrent coun ties ot the State seeking election to tho State Legislature, and for similar purposes. Tho board was called to order by Mr. Goldsmith, vice president, who stated the object of the meeting. Reading of minutes'of last regular meeting was omitted. RESOLUTIONS. . The following preamble and.resolu tions wero read seriatim ai?d after considerable discussion, in which Messrs. Kapus, Green, Gross, Gold smith, Dekum, and Prindle participa ted, were adoptep : Whereas. This board, indepen dent of political views, recognise the urgent necessity oi me variuus emu mercial matters of tho State being attended to at tho next legislature, therefore have Resolved, and do hereby earnestly recommend to tho various candidates in every county seeking election to tho State Legislature the following important subjects for their careful consideration, and request them to in dicato to tho secretary of tho board whether or not they are in favor of the following resolutions : DIRECT RAILROAD CONNECTION. To accomplish which tho State ought legislatively, tor the general good of ail its citizens and without exhibiting partiality or prcfcience for ither one ot the three proposed rail road routes to the East, unite upon a general bill giving to whichever rail- oad company or capitalists as shall guaranteo to copinience construction within one year and complete rail road connection within six years, whatever State assistance or aid is in the power and ability of the people as a State to grant, subject always to no . discrimination of fares and freights in any locality in Oregon over another, and under the iurther condition that no greater through or local freights or lares shall bo charg ed in Oregon than is in operation in California or elsewhere. IMMIGRATION. That it is the dutv of the State for the developement of its various re sources in Eastern, Southern and Western Oregon, to undertake like all other Western States, the immi gration interests of the country by appointing a non political board of immigration with suthuient powers and a small annual appropriation from tho legislature to disseminate information, induce immigrants to come to Oregon, and while here to settle them in the various portions of the State. PILOTAGE AND TOWAGE. That in view of the fact that tho in crease ot values ot our agricultural products depend almost entirely upon the number of foreign vessels which yearly enter the Columbia river seek ing freights, it is of the utmost pecu niary importance to our farming class es for the legislature to pass such a bin ior regulating me puoung uu lowing charges over the Columbia river bar as will encourage competi tion in shinDin!? and induce vessels to come to Oregon in larger numbers than at present. SALMON INTERESTS. That considering the largo annual exports of Oregon salmon and the in crease in the foreign demand, it is to be regretted that the run ot salmon is not now so plentiful as in former years ; that it is therefore the duly of the State to pass such laws as wM regul He the seoson, time and mode ol conducting this enterprise so as to in crease instead of decrease, as at pres ent, the flow of silmon into the vari ous rivers ar.d tributaries of Oregon MERCANTILE TRAVELERS. Nearly all foreign countries and sis ter states on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts pass license and other laws to protect and develop their internal trade and commerce, believing that it is essential for every Slate to foster and build np within itself mauufactur ing and commercial enterprises. In Oregon foreign travelers come from Calilornia, British Columbia and else where, selling their goods all over the State with contributing directly or in directly one dollar of taxes or revenue to the State treasury, while merchants and traders, residents of Oregon, are compelled by law to pay opoo their property or goods so oSered lor t ile, all Slate, county and other taxes, as well as high rents and other incident al expenses. It is therefore the duty of the Statd to equalize taxation so that such travelers soliciting trde' in Oregon shall py equally as the resi dent merchants their proportion or share of taxes, and thus encourage the internal commerce of Oregon. This is best attained by the mode adopted 1 -.I-- I." 1. At II in miit-T otuies, wincu tins Doara re commends, of making such travelers procure an annual license from this Sstato. AMENDMENT Ot INCORPORATION LAWS, That in the judgment of this Board section 1:0 of the General Incorpora tion laws should be abolished, and section 22 so amended as to allow a majority of the stockholders of an in corporated company to filo supple mental, artioles. thereby oflering great er inducements for the investment ot capital OFFWIAL WKIGI1KR OP Will AT AND OTHER GRAIN. That the Stato Legislative assembly appoint an official weigher of wheat, as is done in tho Slates of Il linois, Michigan and other Eastern States, whose duties shall consist iu weighing, at the request of ouo or more of tie parties concerned, all wheat and other grain sold, or to bo delivered free on board ship or other wise, and whoso certificate ot weights shall be held in law as evidenoo ot the facts therein stated between parties. That the said official weigher shall re side in Poatland, and his remunern shall be fixed by the State at so much per ton, payable from the grain weighed. ICesoked futtner. Z. hat the board solicit the various nowspapors of Ore gon to print these resolutions, and that the Sooretary be and hereby is instructed to forward copies to overy candidate seeking election to the next State Legislature, On motion the board adjourned. WASHINGTON GOSSIP. Washington, May 16, 1876. There is just now a marked stillness: in political affairs, much resembling that deathlike calm which precedes the most violent storms. -The atti tude of the great political parties is like that of a couple of tigers about to engsge in deadly combat. Both orouched upon the.ground with glar ing eyes, eaoh frame quivering with Intense emotion and each ready and anxious upon the slightest movement of the other to make the deadly spring. That this will be one ot the warmest political contests that has ever been waged in this country I tninE is unquestioneu. , i enuiuu mo coming strife the people in this local ity seem bent upon enjoying them selves. Last week was prolific ot ex citement in a scries of trotting match es at Brightwood. The Fitzhugh affair is approaching a crisis, and will in all probability be determined to-day by his resignation. On Saturday the IIouso, after a lengthy discussicn of a resolution pre sented by Mr. White, of Kentucky, instructed the Committee on rules to innmie into the conduct of Doorkeep. er Fitzhugh, referring the whole mat ter to that committee and requesting them to report at once. It is a singular fact that there never was such a number ot aspirants for tho Presidential nomination, and such a diversity ot opinion among the "knowing ones" as to who will be the man. iilaine seems Co be at prouent the favorite of the Republicans, and Thurman that ol the Democrats. The Boston Watchman says the better sentiment of tho people will control the' National Darties. or it will create an independent party to execute its will. The independent voters are no longer helpless ; they hold the balance r nower and will support no man for office whose character is blemished even by suspicion. If the latter part of this be true the Democratic party may feel assured of the support ot.the independent element, tor as tilings at present appear tho Republican ranks mav be searched in vain for a candi date whose record does not afford at least fair ground for rational suspi cion. Grant, it mav be supposed, se lected the ablest and the best his par ty Aff'nrld to aid him in the adminis tration of the government, aud what an array of political tricksters, cor rupt officials and dishonest men gen erally do they present. flimlnr liaa been reduced tO LlCU- tenanl-Colonel, and the Boston 1'ost wants to know if Fred Grant will now be maJe a General ? And in alluding to thia tho Xew York Ilrprest says: Following the removal ot Henderson, the escape ot Babcock, the trighten ing away to Canada of Marsh and the ai-eentaime of Belknap's resignation. the Cnstar affair unfortunately gives color to the belief that Orant is more interest in punishing the prosecutors than tho prosecuted. The Custom House officials were in formed vesterdav that the iewels sent to General Sherman's daughter by the Khedive ot Egypt are to be re-exported to Eurooe in June by Drexel fc Morgan, the consignees, as otherwise they mifht be sold at auction to pay the duties. The Senate has exempted - . . V -1 ! them from doty, but the Mouse win not concur. But for the timely interpositioB of Tom Scott the country would have 1 been attorded the extraordinary snen- taclo of the entire body of Congress paying its way to the Centennial like any common individual. Mr. Hinck loy, of the Philadelphia, Wilmington & Baltimoro Railrcad, refused to deadhead that august body, but Mr. Scott seeing a favorable opportunity to put in a tolling stroke, came to the rescuo with two free trains over a cir ouitous route. The Congressmen saved their fare, and the great Penn sylvania lobbyist has plaoed the wholo body under an obligation. Ivkno. Soruo Presidential Lore. From the Washington Chronicle. JVe have had fourteen regularly elected 1 residents of the United States, four of whom bore tho Chris tian name of James, and only three of the fourtecu double Christian names. The Burnamo of eight of the fourteen ends in u five of them being tho only ones ever re-elected. Five end in on, and four in son. The names of eaoh of the four candidates for President and Vice President in the election of 18C4, end in n. None of tlio Presidents have borne either a Christian or a surname with tho initial letter C, although, within my recollection, the names ot some of tho most prominent candidates or talkud-of candidates, at different limna lmo-nn with tlinf. li.ttor Vnr cxamplCjDe Witt Clinton, Langdon CQeeves, William 11. Crawford, Henry Clay, John C. Calhoun, Lewis Cass, John M. Clavton, Thomas Corwin, John J. Crittenden, Salmon P. Chase and to these might, per haps, be added tho name of Church ill U. Canbrelong, a prominent .New l oik politician some years a ago. ?'C Among others accustomed to Bharp," but destined to "B flat," Caleb Cushing might bo mentioned as somewhat talked of about the timo ot Pierce's nomination ; and possibly more recently but for tho Southern rebellion we should have heard tho name of Clement C. Clay, of Alabama. To crown tho whole, and as "coming out of tho little end ot tho horn," is the Inst defeated caudidate regard ing the Mat as but a prenx. to tho principal name. From what "a C of troubles" we have bee a providential, ly delivered! , The New Connecticut Sonator. The lion. William II. Barnum, who will be the next United States Senator from Connecticut, to fill Fer ry's unexpired term (Ferry died about a year ago,) which ends March 3, 1879, is Treasurer of tho Demo emtio Congressional Committee, and a member ot tho National Democrat ic Committee, has Served his State in Bcveral Congresses, and has done more, perhaps, to develop the iron and railroad interests ot Connecticut than any other man. Ho is an able, enterprising business man, is Presi dent and ouo of tho principal owners ol the Connecticut and Western Rail road, and is also largely iuterested in a number ol iron mines in his State. Mr. Barnum is a much younger, stronger and more active man than Hon. James K English, his compel! lor. He is. also, a man ot excellent judgment and greai energy; and, through the possession ol these quail ties, he has become wealthy. "LuUroll'e Punch." Tho correspondent of the New York Tdcnram (published from the Herald office on Sundays) has the fol lowing bit of gossip which is interest ing' in this quarter : "If you desire, on certain evenings, to see certain Congressmen, you will do well to call at the rooms ot Repre sentative Luttrell, of California. There you find some twenty or twenty-five Democratio members drawing inspiration for an exchange of start ling political doctrines from a huge punch bowl in tho middle of the room, 'round which they are seated. Injustice to Representative Luttrell it should be stated that it is the unan imous opinion of the Democrat of the House that both the punch and the jokes to which be treats them on these hospitable evenings arogood." It was the saying of a wise man, when his attention was called to any thing that had a smacking of scandal in it : "I have so much to do that I can not hear it. One-half my time is taken np with my own business, the other halt with letting alone that of my neighbors." How many excel lent opportunities of letting alone other beople'i business are slighted, and the world is troubled with the interferences of people with what does not concern them. Neighbor hoods are driven crazy by the reports of idlo or vicious people who watch for occasions for scandal, and lose no opportunity of making it public, re gardless of its truth, or of the injury it inflicts upon the feelings of others. Gossip passes lor fact and surmise tor bistory. . ' A. II. Stephens of Georgia.' This gentleman, who has been ait invalid for years, and at times report ed on tho vorgo of the grave) still sur vives, though - bed ridden, and is thought by his friends to be lest seri ously ill than he imagines himself to be. A gentleman writing to the Co lumbus (Ga.l Times, under date of tho 3rd iust, had beon on a Visit to the distinguished gentleman, and express, es the belief that it his spirits were rallied his life might be spared for use fulness for a number of years to come; but Stephens has made up his mind that his end is approaching, and is rathor desirous to depart than linger in a world wliero he has so long suffer ed from physical disease and mental anguish. His time is completely de voted to preparation for tho future lifo, which he declares has no terror for him, and in this depressed state of mind it is impossible to. bring to him any comfort. In alluding to the gen tleman's hypoohobin, the author above) roferred to says: ' "1 can but think that if Mr. Stephens had the same faith or hope ot bis reoovory as the doctor and his other friends have, it would bo in his favor; but as ha seems to have so little laith, himself in his own recovery, I think that it works much against ' him, While then, I still hope that ha will soon again bo on a deoidodly 'rising ground, and may finally recover, oa the otlior hand, for the reason above given, I can but fear that we may all yet be dissappoinlod. . . . . Why Brlatow will not do for tho He publican Candidate. From tie Cincinnati Time.. . i Tha party linos are drawn almost si close ly this year as in 18G0. The Republican fiarty will demand a caudidate whoso record a this fierce struggle of the past will con vince the peoplo beyond all shadow of doubt that the great cause for which we have done and suffered ss much is safe Id his hands. This reauiretnont places Mr. Krlstow utterly out of the question if he ever bss been is it. A Southern boru man, wltb dangerous ly pleaBaot relations with the Bourbon Dt ' mocracy, with no political record, and no po litical experience, there is no more possibili ty of his being tukea for Republican lead-' er in this campaign than there is of tha Ro man Church tuking an ununown rrotettaoi lor their next I'ope. These are the reasons why ffiaioe ana Conkling, enomit-s though they be, would unite Rcaiiist Jirintow : and the same rea sons will apply to all the really Republican delegates in the convention. Mr, liris tow's support will bs (roin those who have been enemies of the party since 1872.

When the estate does not exceed 83,000, there must by a summary administration and distribu tion at tho end of six months from the date of publication ot notice.', i The HerahVi Washington special' says Blaine's tri nds are jubilant be causo he is completely exonerated. This does not end Blaine's troubles, however. There is another vague charge after it that bo was given land grant bonds of tho Little Rock road to influence tho making up of IIouso committees in 1872, whi!o he was speaker; but tho committee to day very properly declined to hear tho testimony. , , . " . f By tho report ot the naval investi gating committee, soon to be made, it appears that the sale ot the Phila delphia Navy Yard to the Pennsyl vania Railroad last fall, instead ot the land alono were hundreds of thou sands of dollars' worth of half dis mantled buildiugs, naval stores, etc., left on the grounds, and which the purchase of tho railroad company did not include. This report will reflect severely on Secretary Robeson, and possibly deem his reraoyal from office necessary. The house of FI. McGowan, who lives on Fail Creek, was cousutbod by fire a few days ago, during tbe temporary absence of tho family. 1 louse snd contents a total loasv Tbe Democrats of Leland are tJJ to harw i Detracted their delegates to tha county oo Trntloo to vote tor do mao to wboos it tu required to jive so office to Bake a Demo crat of biffl.
