The amount of this fund on hand on the 12th day of September, 1870, when the Democracy came into power (see I report of School Land Commissioners 1870, page 19) was $312,385 10). But this includes $5,894 70 of interest due and uncollected on $40,246 03 of notes in the hands of the Board (see same report pages 12 and 13). This interest was delinquent for nearly one and a half years. Deducting this delinquent interest and there remained $306,- 490 40. To which add $232 96 in hand of the Treasurer (see report 1870, page 12). Total fund September 12, 1870, $306,725 36. Thousands of dollars of Interest, on loans made by county local agents,was uncollected. In many cases the inter est was three and four years behind. Many of the descriptions of land in the mortgages were not correct and the mortgages had to be reformed to make them effective,and the fund was in oth er respects in great confusion. The law requiring the interest on this fund to be collected and annually distributed among the several counties in proportion to the children in each between four and twenty years of age, was passed October, 1866, yet not a dollar was ever so distributed until the Democracy took charge. Under the Democratic Administration there has been distributed,including 1877, $246,- 885 40. The fund has thus been as sisting to support the schools in all the districts of the State where schools are maintained, and in a few years more will be of sufficient magnitude to sus tain a free school iu each of the districts the greater parted the year.

The charge of “straw securities” is based upon Hie loans made to J. B., McClane, A. Meyers and the W est Portland Hon>e-tead Association. These loans were made upon the certificates of County School Superin tendents, certifying the value of the lands offered as security. In each of these cases the appraisement and cer tificate upon which the loan was made was a Republican. The loan to Mc Clane was made upon certificates of two different Superintendents, one of whom was Her. L. J- Powell, present candidate on the Jlepublican State tick et for Superintendent of Public Instruc tion, who certified that the thirty acres of land In North Salem, upon which the loan of $6,280 was made, was worth $20,000 in gold coin.

It is claimed that the amount re ported in 187G was too great, because certain parts of it were not paying in terest, for instance the loan to A. Mey ers of $10,000, about which so much has been said. There were some oth ers sums put in the hands of attorneys for collection, one or two of which have not been finally adjusted. Some of the amounts that were not yielding inter est at thu same time Hon. M. P. Deady made his report on the fund, are now loaned out and hearing good interest, so the available fund is near $68,749 38, or an increase during the Democratic Administrations of some $51,000, be sides the distribution of several large sums of interest to the University at Eugene City, for its support and main tenance. The loans to A. Meyers of $5,000 each, or $10,000, were made on prop erty valued by Rev. L. J. Powell, can didate for Superintendent of Public In struction, at $30,000, in gold coin. His own signature attests the fact. The charge that the University and School lands have been frittered away, is also without loundation. The Uni versity grant only contained 46,080 acres, and more than half of that is yet unsold, while there remains more than 1,750,000 acres of School land undis posed of. AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE FUND. There was no fund for the support of the Agricultural College in 1870, from the sale of lands. The funds be gan to accumulate in 1874, and amount ed to $900. The amount of the fund on hand now and bearing interest is $37,600 97, while but few of the lands belonging to this grant have been sold. D emocrat .

SNELLING. lMH.rHCS IM UI4E COUNTY. L akeview , May 12, 1878. To the E ditor of the T imes : The political ball was opened last evening by Hon. D. VV. Cheesman, Independent candidate for Represen tative, in a public speech at this place. Mr. Cheesman prefaced his remarks by stating that he had been accused of being a Democrat, but that accusation was false. That he did two years ago accept a position on the Democratic ticket, hut that was for the purpose of accomplishing a certain object; that object being accomplished, viz: the re moval of the county seat to this place, he was no longer a Democrat, but a Republican of the Sumner type. He stated that he had been cheated out of the Republican nomination by the Land Office ring, composed of Evans, Conn, Watson and the little mogul of the Republican party, J. A. Moon; that proxies instructed for him had been suppressed, or rather smothered. He then read a letter which he re ceived from Moon during the last ses sion of the legislature, advising him to vote for Grover for U. 8. Senator; al so one from Receiver Geo, Conn, en dorsing his action in the last Legisla ture. Mr. Cheesman then paid a glowing tribute to President Hayes, Secretary Evarts and Schurz, and wound up by promising, that if elected, to support female suffrage, temper ance and every other measure that would tend to make the people better, purer and holier. He was followed by Mr. Moon, who stated his opinions in a very forcible manner. He could not see what right Cheesman had to read his pri vate letters in public; thought it was a brea?h of the rules* of decency; he could not see what claim Cheesman had upon the Republican party; he thought that, because the Democrats would not have him, he had no right to force himself upon the Republicans. The speaker thought the best thing that could be done with Mr. Cbees- man was to give him a bunch of matches and let him start a little hell of his own. In response to calls, C. B. Watson arose and made a few very pertinent re marks. He said that Mr. Cheesman was mistaken, to use no harsher term, when he asserted that the proxies from the west end of the county were in structed for him; that he (Watson) used four of the proxies in the Repub lican convention, and he knew that none of them were instructed for Cheesman. The speaker then an nounced that he would s|»eak next Tuesday evening upon the political situation and the Republican uandi- dates. C. A. Cogswell was called upon, who arose and Jhanked the audience for calling him out, but stated that as this seemed to be a Republican quarrel he thought it would ho in had taste for a Democrat to take any hand in it. Mr. Cheesman then announced that he would stump the county, and invit ed both the Democratic and Republi can candidates to follow him, promis ing to make it the liveliest campaign ever known in Lake county.

This is an average of about $1,324,000 a year. Under the pro posed law, giving the proceeds of 54 the sales of public lands to the Bchool funds of the different States, this 00 amount would be distributed to the 72 States.
