A meeting of the Democratic State Cen tral Committee is hereby called to be held in the City of .Portland the 31st day of Jan uary, 1878. A full attendance is requested. C. B. B ellinger , Chairman. S alem , Juuuary 3, 1878. EIHIOItlAI. xorfrjl. T he most ludicrous spectacle Ore gon furnishes at this time is Sam. Clarke and G. W. Lawson heading the labor movement in Salem, This is aping Brick Pon.eroy with a veu. geance. T he Democratic majority of the House of Representatives, led by Fer- nando Wood, have passed a resolution authorizing the investigation of the various departments of the Govern ment, especially during Grant’s term. The Republicans strenuously opposed It. “It was ever thus.” W hat reward Edmunds and Law- son, the greenback lunatics, are to re ceive from Mitchell for their dirty work, is a question that forcibly pre sents itself. Whether there are suffi cient Democrats fools enough to follow in the wake of these schemers and make their inissiou successful remains to be seen. T he silver men are not as confident as they mighT he, if we are to believe tel egraphic report. They seem inclined to force matters, as it is rumored that Buckner, of Missouri, Chairman of the House Banking Committee, threaten- to have Bland’s silver bill attached to the general appropriation bill, anil force its passage or have no appropria tions. Probate tourt Proceeding*. Congress l oui» I Elect ton. g«»n elects a Representative in Congress this year, and there is some discussion whether the election there for takes place at the general election in June or next November, as provided by Congressional law. Congress by the Act of Feb. 2, 1872, I provides: “Tho Tuesday next after the first Monday in November, 1876, is established as the day in each of the States and Territories of the United States for elections of Representatives and Delegates to the forty-fifth Con gress; and tho Tuesday next after the first Monday in November in every second year thereafter is established as the day of the election in each of said States and Territories, of Repre sentatives and delegates to the Con gress commencing on the fourth day of March thereafter.” This law was amended by tho Act of March 3, 1875, Sec. 6 of which reads; “That section twenty-five of the Revised Statutes prescribing the time for holding elec tions for Representatives to Congress, is hereby modified so as not to apply to any other State that has not yet changed its day of election, and whose constitutions must be amended in or der to effect a change in the day of the electiou of State officers iu said State.” The Constitution of this State pro viding that “general elections shall be held on the first Monday in June, bi ennially,” there necessarily must be an amendment thereto to make it con form to the Congressional provision; hence it seems evident enough that we elect a Congressman in June in stead of November. S ome serious charges against David P. Thompson, well known in this sec tion, com? from Idaho, in which terri tory he, in connection with his brother and others, performed a number ol surveying contracts not long since. The authenticity of these charges ba llot as yet been established, although it is asserted there are grounds for them. G eo . II. P endleton was nnminat ed for Senator by the Democrats of the Ohio Legislature, which is equivalent to an election. His principal compet itors were Honorables Thos. Ewing and Geo. W. Morgan. Mr. Pendleton is one of the eminent men of the day, a vast improvement on Stanley Mat thews, and wilI doubtless distinguish himself during his term. I t is quite noteworthy that Senator Mitchell should at this particular time, after the expiration of near five years and on the eve of the election of his successor, suddenly awaken to th<* fact that Eastern Oregon and Portland winr a railway. We are sorely afraid that he is more anxious for a n-elec tion than he is solicitous that their wishes should be gratified. T he Chinese question is engrossing considerable attention at Washington, and efforts are being made by the Sen ate and House to arrive at a solution thereof. Mr. Hayes has promised Con gressman Luttrell that he would call the attention of congress to the subject, that negotiations might be opened with tho Chinese government, with a view tu fixing some limitation to iiu- migraDoo from that country. T ibe “he-hens” are enacting lively scent/s at Washington, where Eliza beth Cady Stanton, Isabella Beecher Hooker and a myriad of others of like ilk have congregated in the interests of woman suffrage. The Senate has given them a rebuff in refusing to list en to them, but they are determined “to carry the war into Africa” and do not seem discouraged in the least. Their persistence is certainly worthy of a better cause. T he prospects for another fight be tween Mr. Hayes and the anti-admin istration Senators are reported favora ble. Conkling, encouraged by his for mer success, is liable to be very ag gressive, though we doubt whether victory will crown his banners again, as Mr. Hayes will probably now re ceive considerable support from those who voted against bis New York nom inations. The ultra Republicans seem bent on forcing him into the Demo cratic party, but that organization is even n ore Uiteiuiined in keeping him out. MEW, THIS WEEK.

It is evident from the movement among leading RepublicansoftheConk ling, Chandler, school—the action of the California and Maryland Legi-la- tures, and the decided expressions of leading papers, relative to the fraudu lent title of Mr. Hayes to the Presi dency, that something is about to drop in the vicinity of the White House, and we reiterate our warning to Dem ocrats not to form any “entangling al liance,” but to stand aloof and see the salvation which is sure to follow the investigation that beyond question must take place. The venerable Mont gomery Blair, Postmaster-General in Mr. Lincoln’s Cabinet, has introduced a memorial to Congress in thé Mary land Legislature questioning the legali ty of the title of Mr. Hay es,the full text of which will be found on our first page. This memorial, coming fiom the source it does, says tho Sonoma Democrat, must have weight with those to whom it is addressed, and lei us hope that no Democrat in either House of Congress will find an excuse for “pairing off,” or offering the least opposition to the investigation thus de manded. The people will not condone the fraud by a much longer acquies cence in it and a submission to the wrongswhich are inflicted by reason ol the exerci-e of the illegally acquired title by the party to the fraud.
