Philadelphia, Juno 25th, 1876. While perambulating around through Agricultural hall this morn ing, I came upon the Oregon Statu exhibit, and from tbo parties in charge I gathered some facts relativo to Oregon and its productions which will doubtless prove intercbtins to all the readers of the Journal. It is doubtful whether more than an infin itesimal portion of the people who live in the btatoa and lt-intones east of the Rocky Mountains are fully aware of what Oregon is capable of producing, and of the superior natur al advantages possessed by that large but youthful State. It seems to me that a Statu which can send to the Expositition such an exhibit of agri cultural and horticultural products as Oregon has sent, deserves to be better known and more generally ap preciated. I do not wisn to be un derstood, however, to mean that Oregon, as a State, has any exhibit there. Her legislature declined to appropriate one dollar, in advance, for Centennial purposes, and the ex hibit in Agricultural Hall is the re- ult of individual enterprise rather than State pride. The display is under the care of Mr. A. J. Dufur, assisted by Mr. C. E. Dubois, both of Portland. These gentleman not noly have charge of the exhibit, but they prepared the articles and brought them hither at their own expense, hoping that the Legislature of their State, at its next session, will reim burse them. If the Legislature fails to do so, it oqght to be dumped into the Columbia river. The exhibit oc cupies 15x21 feet of space in column E, JNo. zi, not lar irom me Illinois department. The articles are aa neatly arranged as they could possibly be, and everything shows off to good ad. vantage, making it one ot the most attractive State exhibits in tho build ing. Every article speaks well for the State, but perhaps it is in grain and seeds that the State particularly excels. I never before Baw such rye, wheat and oats as are here on exhibi tion. There are stalks of oats 8 J feet in length, and yielding 87 bushels to the acre and 45 pounds to tho bushel. Samples of wheat that yield 50 bush els to the acre, and 70 pounds to the bushel. One sample is of wheat sovn on sod, without any plowing or har rowing, and in ninety days from the time tho seed was sown the crop was harvested and bagged, showing a yield of 30 bushels per acre. It is good, fair, plump wheat, too, and no person would suppose from its ap pcareuce that it was never cultivated but like Topsy, "just growed right op" itself. There are samples of club wheat which makes no fuss at all about yielding 60 bushels to every acre sown and properly cultivated. There are samples of winter wheat that grows at tho rate of HO stalks from one little seed. The farmers of Oregon plant wheat ten months in tho year and get good crops every time. The experiment of planting it every nonth has also been tried bug cessiullv.Vhat they call tho poor est wheat in their exhibit would pass for No. 1 in almost any market east of the Rocky. Mountains. And as for the rye, it is simply unequaled anywhere on tho continent. Of seeds there are twenty-three varieties, from the finest bluo'grass to the coarsest blades which grow in the valleyB and on the mountain 6ides. Different samples of wood, to the number of thirty are in tho exhibit. There are pieces of maple looking so much like mahogany that not one person in twenty can tell tho diner ence. Then there are tho real moun tain mahogany, tho silver pino and other woods admirably adapted to building purposes ana to the mauu facture ct furniture, lhere is also I section of red cedar that stood 325 feet high and mtsured 22 feet in di-1 arneter at the base. It stood near Portland, and has for years been an object of admiration and wonder to all who beheld its vast proportions. There are shingles from the identical tree under which the intrepid explor ers, Lewis and Clark, the discoverers of the Columbia river, had their en campment, in 1804-5. That tree pro duced 100,000 shingles and 58 cords of wood. There are some very fine samples of wool, in which production Oregon claims to excel. It the speci mens exhibited here are a fair index of what is generally produced there, Oregon sheep have reason to be proud of their fleece, and the State may well be proud of her sheep. Another product worthy ot special mention is tho flax, specimens of which are objects ot more than ord nary attention. The stalk is four feet ami the fibre the finest and purest I have ever seen Salmon from the Columbia river a delicious fish, with which that river abounds and for which it has become noted. Ai liner iisn can oe iouna on the continent than this. Another article worthy of note, and ...1 I T 1 . 1. about halt an inch thick, done up m rolls, and resembling glue, or tho composition used in. tho manufacture of rollers for printing presses. It is mado by somo Oregonian process from apples, or apple juice, and put up in this shape so as to be conven ient for use at any timo ail's place w.here cider is liable to bo wanted. A small piece of this concentrated prep aration dropped into water speedily dissolves and tho result is a quantity of pure, sweet, wholesome cider. In tho way of fruits'and vegetables Oro- gon alb"r-how8 np creditably. There are few vegetables on exhibition at present, but what few there are would do credit to any State. Of fruits there aro nicely put up packages of dried peaches, pears, apples, plums, figs, prunes and raisins, such as can not be excelled by any portion of tho Union. And all of these, as well as somo other varieties of fruit, aro raised in great abundance, the climate of that far-off Stato being so mild and equable that a failure ot the fruit crop is something uuknown to tho people - . Tho exhibit also contains numerous interesting specimens from the animal kingdom, which add to the variety and help to interest tho hundreds of visitors who daily call to examine these wonderful products. After examining this exhibit from Oregon, and learning tho facts which I have briefly set forth, tho visitor cannot fail of being impressed with tho idea that Oregon is a neglected State; that her resources and her natural advantages entitle her to more attention than she ro ceiyes; and that instead of having only 115,000 inhabitants sho should to day have a population of at least a million. Her soil is productive, land is cheap, the cliinato is delightful, the scenery is grand, and tho Stato offers an inviting field for enterprising men who have an inclination to go west, . and establish for themselves lucrative business and permanent homes on the Pacific coast. Fortuuatcly this Centennial exhibit will be the means of making Oregon better known, and her wonderful advantages better un derstood. Tho Nino York Jfandels Zcitungot, the 1st iust., instituting a comparison between Tilden and Hayes, uses this language; stating the case so clearly that comment is unuecc-6sary : Our sympathies in tho approaching struggle are with Samuol J. Tilden, not because, but notwithstanding ho ho is the nominee of the Democratic party. It is uot with hollow phrases but wiih weighty deeds, mat mucu has proved himself the representative Reform. But what h Hayes ? He is tho nominee of a party which claims indemnity for eight years of misgov eminent on the strength of its great norvices in the past; which demands the confidence of the people without offering guarantees for the future, for it has as good as thrown on one side the only practical reformer iu its ranks, Benjamin Bristow. If words express thoughts, theu tho Republi can party in its entirety is completely identified with Giantism, otherwise it could not in its platform, have offered the warmest thanks to the National Administration, and particularly to President Grant, tor "honorable ful fillment of pledges." Under existing circumstance?, the victory of' the Re publican candidate could only be de sirable if the opposition in its nomina tions and its declaration of principles offered something absolutely worse; and this is not the case. Tilden and Hendricks are quite as honorable, and at least as important men as Haves and Wheeler, and as for the two platforms, tho Democratic of which Reform is the beginning and the etd, has n.any advantages over tbo Kepublican. VAUYAVS KE.TIOVAL. Let Every Guilty nan Escape. From the New York Son. When tho President's hatred of Yar yan was first made apparent, he was requested by Bristow to make specil charges against him. The Preside me nt renlied thil it was not necessary. His friends complained of Yaryan's con duct and that was sufficient. Bristow then said that he would leave the Cab 'met rather than have such imputations made upon an officer whctfe acts he most unequivocally endorsed. Yaryan was sent for by the President, and the charge of malicious prosecution was maJe. Yaryan boldly declared, "Mr. President name my accuser, and I will tell you the secret of their op position to me. If it is Senator Sar gent, it is because I have fought most earnestly to break up tho Whiskey liina fos'.ered bv him on the Pacific slope. If it is Seuator Logan, 1 can give you the political ramilication oi I . .... ..... ins surmoriers an t inn ie rt-suiis r w hy they have me. Is it either of these 7" asked Yaryan. The Presi- one wincn i never neara oi Dciore, is a sample of concentrated cider. This is a dark, gummy-looking substance, made no reply except that he must confine his labors entirely to the rou tine of his oflico. Thus has tho President endoavored to atone fop the acts of of his exoou tivs officers by proclaiming, "Let cvory guilty man escapo." Already, Patrick Dyer, the United States Dis trict Attorney at St. Louis, who would not endorso-tho application for the pardon of MoKeo and Avory, has handed in his resignation. In tho neighboring city of Georgotown on the Heights, in a dwelling onoe occu- Siod by Geu. Grant, resides Mrs. oyco, "tho wife of the convict it? Jetlorson City Penitentiary. Sho says, and that, too, upon the assurance of the President, that her husband will be with her in thirty days. Aftor to day's proceedings it would not bo ex traordinary to seo McDonald driving the President down Pennsylvania avenue and Joyce on friendly terms with Rabcock, onco again tho Presi dent's private secretary. needier for llajcs. Tho Radical party appears to be happy in announcing that Becoher is for Hayes. Tho party ought to be proud of suoh endorsement, and we wish them all tho joy thoy can got from suoh acquisitions to their party. The prinoipal reason, we presume, is that Tilden is a bachelor and has no pretty wito for tho parson. But Beechor does not proposo to tako tho stump. That is also a matter of con gratulation. Tho New York Bay Hook fancies that tho Kaaicai pariy will not urge tho Plymouth pastor to tako the stump. Iho Radicals aro handioapped enough alroady with Belknap, Babcock, Blaino, Shepherd, Grant, Robeson and the Railroad and Whiskey Rings, without undertaking to carry Boccher. Standard. The SI.

It is the Democracy's formal confession of faith and accusation against tho pres eut Administration and tho Republi can party, expressed in a masterly manner "both as respects form and substance What tho Democracy promises in this platform may bo sum marized as follows: Tho questions raised through the war of tho rebellion aro finally set tled, and tho Dernooraoy binds itsolf especially to tho maintcnanco of tho Constitution, with all the omondmcnts thoreof.

(Hero is the great fault of tho platform ; it has no declaration against subsidies.) Amendment of the treaties with foreign powers for the protection ot adopted citizens in foreign countries, in order that they may bo placed upon a perfect equality with native citizens. (Here follows, unfortunately, a demagogical resolutipn against the Chinese.) Necessity for the overthrow of tho Republican party, a radical revolution in our political comiition, ana espcci all v in the naturo of parties. This is the platform with which the Democracy enters tho present cam paign. Splondidly as it sounds it might, under tho circumstances be reallv of little value. But it is the fruit of a bold, uncompromisin stru"cle against the bail elements ot the party, and it attains its full value in the fact that a man has been piaceu upon this platform whom the whole country regards as an incarnation of tho best efforts toward political and economical reform. It i a phtforra worthy of Samuel J. lildeu, a plat form which, in the event of his elec tion he can fully carry out, aud platform by which, under a Tilden ad ministration, the vvbolo Federal Gov ernment, and not merely the Demo- i belonzin!? i0 the administration I 1-317 j ma6t certainly live up to.

One thin is certain, ho has never given utteranco to ono word against cor rubtion." Upon reflection, tho Cin cinnati Enquirer believes this to b true, and declares that tho nomina tion of Hayes is a clear abandonment of all idea of roform on tho part of tho Radical party. A true reformer must bo positive. Hayes is absolute ly negative. A reformer must have convictions; llayee. is a pieoo of putty,, nnd could bo worked into any con venient shape by men like Blaine and Morton. Tho nomination of Hayea is a confession of weakness, and is ft wet blanket to the element in the Radical party which bolioved that it was capable of reforming itsolf. In no event can Hayes rally his party. Tho magnetic power of Blaino is dead. Bristow aud his reformers wero treated with contempt, and Mortoa and Conkling were allowed to hobblo out of the Convention as best thoy could. Too lnalgiilUcant. Tho Springfield Tdcgram sums tbo' matter up in this way : "For the first timo iu its history tho Republican party of tho United States enters a Presidential canvass with a leader' with no qualities to arouso popular' enthusiasm, no services to command national gratitudo, no laurels of statesmanship, no brilliancy ot gen-, ius. A comprouiiso candidate, Gov- . ernor Hayes was solected because he was too insignificant to arouso enmi ties, and ouly through him could ft. viotory bo won oyer tho man whom, tho popular voico had solected as leader." Impossible to Toll. Senator Davis, of WeBt Virginia, will shortly, it is said, substantiate before tho Senate his assertion made several months ago that it was im possible to tell within $50,000,000 what the national indebtedness is. Boutwell, at tho timo sprang to the defenso of tho treasury books, but did not succeed in convincing any body that thoy were straight. Davis, proposes to prove that Boutwoll onco forced a balanco of millions of dollars to make tho books ngroo. A $200,000 HOTEL. What Dr. Pierce la doingAn Impor- tant Enterprise. We learn that Dr. II. V. Fioroo, proprie tor of the "World's Disp9Dea7," in this city, has perfected the purchase ot a large lot ot land, on which be proposes to erect a largo hotel fur the accommodation of bii numerous patients, coming hither from all Poiuts of the compass.

Heard Front From '.he New Tork Bun. The late lamented Doesticks had a a friend, to whom he often reforred ia his writings, of the name of Dam- phool. It was not known for a long; timo what had become of this gentle man; but it is now ascertained that un der an assumed name be has been dic tating the letter of acceptance ot the Republican candidate for President. This ancient friend of the lamented Doesticks still proves true to his orig inal cognomen. In tho Cincinnati Convention a New York delegate moved that a recess of thirty minute be taken be tween tho ballots. This proposition was regardod as layorable to thoso who wished to "sell out." The Rhode island delegation proposed to add "that the Chairman ot each delega tion should be ordered to label hi delegation with Us price and an nounce whether the price was wanted in cash or country produce." This was a squelcher, and the Nw Yorlc man subsided. The outrage mill will hare renme opera tions quite early ia ordr to elect Hej Pre.siUect.
