GAZEIiT, DOUGLAS "I would sum op the policy of the Adminis tration to be a thorough enforcement of every law; a faithful collection ol every tax provided for; economy in the disbursement of the came; a prompt payment of every debt of the nation; a redaction of taxes as rapidly as the require ments of the country will admit; reductions of taxation and tariff, to be so arranged as to af ford the greatest relief to the greatest number; honest and fair dealings with all other people, to the end that war, with all its blighting con sequences, may be avoided, bat without surren dering aiy right or obligation due to us; a reform in the treatment of Indians, and in the whote civil service oj the country: and finally, in securing a pure, untrammcled ballot, where every man entitled to cast a vote may do so, just once, at each election, without fear of mo lestation or persecution on account of his po litical faith, nativity or color." U. S. Gkaxt. PBINCIPLES AGAIN TEIUMPH. The Republican party, like its noble leader, President Grant, knows no de feat. Again it has withstood the as saults of the open enemy without, and baffled the traitorous schemes of the moro dangerous enemy within. Again it has demonstrated the fact that per fidy, faithlessness and treachery can find no placo within its walls to hide their deceptive heads. By electing the Republican nominee to the TJ. S. Sen ate it has proven to the outer world that it is loyal to itself and true to the principles of the great Union party which saved the nation from utter ruin and demoralization in the dark days of the rebellion. He that plots the disor ganization of the Republican party is trifling with the most sacred interests of the peoplo and endangering our na tional existence. It is to be hoped that the complete rout and disgraceful de feat that overtook tho Republican dis organizes will servo as a wholesome futuro warning to tho faithless, and teach them that the day for sailing un der false colors is past. But tho Senatorial question is over, and every true Republican should feel thankful and proud to see his party come out of the fire and smoke of tho oattto witii all her accustomed purity and moral power, shorn of not a laurel, but cemented by tho tried and faithful ties of tho patriots that have the good of their country and humanity alone at heart. With victory perching upon our ban ner, let us cease not our labors until tho election of President Grant is made doubly secure by Oregon, with her sis ter States, giving him an overwhelming jnajorify on tho 5th of November next. Let all the Republican forces unite and work harmoniously together from this on, looking onlyto tho present and fu turo good of our free institutions, and when tho day of election comes the Greeleycrats will stand appalled at their own insignificance. Republicanism has taught tho world, within tho last ten years, that virtue, honesty and honor aro to bo respected in politics as well as in everything else. Let no ono be so selfish as to seek to stay its onward march, but let all unite in defending tho cause of justice, humanity and right, which has ever been its most cardinal principles. Homestead Hill. On the 28th ult. Mr. Langell, Representative from this county, introduced into the House a bill, a copy of which is before us, se curing to the citizen a homestead of the value of $2,000. Its perusal has enlisted our approval, and but for it3 great length would bo published by us in full. Wo sincerely hope it may be come a law, when wo will print it en tire. The bill is a credit to its author, showing that in addition to a fine senso of justice and feeling of humanity he has the ability to so express those senti ments in the form of law as to secure their benefits to a confiding constituen cy. Tho Jackson county delegation aro alivo to tho interests of tho people and have the energy and ability to do their full duty. m N. P. R, R. The entire party of N. P. R. R. officials, a portion of which passed through this place last week, have got together about 20 in all and have gono up to the Sound to look out and locate a terminus. They are expected to finish the job in a few days. LETTERS FEOM B. F. HOWELL. Salem, Oregon, Sept 28, 1872. Hon. John H. Mitchell has just been elected United States Senator for six years, commencing on the 4th of March next. The contest was the hottest ev er witnessed iu Oregon. It has occu pied just one-half the session. The political pegs were set up and knocked down faster than at any Senatorial con test I ever witnessed. At times it looked on the surface as though we had no party organization, and that the Democrats would unite and capture Corbett and enough of his personal and political friends to elect him over the Republican caucus nominee; but after a powerful pressure for three weeks both signally failed. As soon as the Convention assembled to day Mr. Corbett had tho following letter read in joint convention: Salem, Sept. 28. 1872. Hoy. W. W. Bbistow: You are hereby authorized to withdraw my name before the Legislature as a candi date for the U. S. Senate. I thank you and the rest of my lriends for plac ing upon record your preference for me. I shall, as heretofore, labor for the per petuity and integrity of the Republi can party, and for the advancement of its principles. Circumstances have been such that in the judgment of my friends and the people they represent, it was not wise for me to go into caucus. They arc as true and good Republicans as arc in our ranks. They thought they were entitled to their opinions as to what wa? for the best interest of the people and the Republican party. This pref erence cannot be longer pressed, in my opinion, without danger to tho unity, strength and perpetuity of the party. For these reasons, I ask that my name be withdrawn. Yours very respectfully, H. W. CORIiETT. The coquetting, Dolly Varden Gree ley Democrats mistook tho object of this letter. They thought this was the signal for them to strike, according to previous arrangement with the friends of Mr. Corbett, and Mr. Brown of Ba ker jumped up and nominated Mr. Cor bett. Mr. Brown made astort speech, saying tho Democrats and a part of the Republicans desired the election of Mr. Corbett. The vote was then taken and resulted as follows : ForHon. John IL Mitchell Messrs. Bristow, Brown of Marion, Cornelius, Cowles, Dolph, Hannah, Moores, Pow ell, "Watson, Webster, Biles, Barin, Bushy, Burbank, Collier, Crawford of Clackamas, Corwin, Cooper, Congles, Caples, Darst, Downing, Engle, Sin gles, Harrison, Hirsch, Johnson, Lan gell, Matlock, Martin, Powers, Patton, tuley, Kiddle, btott, Simpson, 1 horn bury, West, Walker, Washburn, and Mr. Speaker 41. All Republicans ; only two refusing to yote for Mr. Mitchell, and they vot ed blank, with two Democrats. The Republicans who voted blank arc from Polk, a Dolly Varden, vacillating coun ty. The names of those who voted blank arc Messrs. Crystal, Allen, Blakely, and Crooks 4. For Hon. II. W. Corbett Messrs. Brown of Baker, Crawford, Lieuallen, Myers, Patterson, Strahan, Currcn, Grant, Hodgkins, Stephenson, Wright, and White 12; all Greeley Democrats. For Hon. P. P. Prim Messrs. Bald win, Hoult, Monroe, Tolen, Andrews, Cranor, Clow, LaDow, Mason, Oustien, Shelton, Waldon, WiUoughby, and Mr. Presideut 14 ; all bedrock Dem ocrats. This is a Rcpnblican patty triumph over all other cliques and issuee. Our party is intact and stronger than it was before it weathered the storm. The choice of the people and of the party is triumphantly elected. Ho is ono of the most genial and the kindest of men, and is a profound lawyer. Ho will probably be the youngest Senator in tho next Congress. Ho was born in Washington county, Pennsylvania, in June, 1835, of good, pious Methodist parents, nis father was a staunch Old Lino Whig. On the dissolution of tho Whig party our Senator camo to manhood, and in 185C he cast his first vote with the Republi cans. He has never since wavered in his political faith. When a boy he moved with his pa rents to Alleghany county, in his native State, whero he attended private schools and diligently pursued his studies, with out the advantage of a collegiate or even an academical teaching, until he obtained a good English education. He also made considerable progress in tho classics by his perseverance and industry. He studied law in Pittsburgh, and in 1850 he emigrated from Pennsylva nia to California. The next year ho moved to Oregon, and arrived in Port land on tho 4th of July, i860, where he has resided ever since. In 1802 ho was elected State Senator for four years from Multnomah county. He served in this body tho full, term. Here he first become noted for his en ergy, tact and industry as a statesman. In 180G he was chosen Professor of Medical Jurisprudence in the Wallamet University at Salem, Oregon, "which position bo filled for four years. In 18 JO his professional engagements com pelled him to resign the Professorship. In the Fall of 1866 he was one of the prominent candidates for United States Senator, but was defeated in caucus by Hon. A. C. Gibbs, by one vote. Through the treachery of Andy Johnson and a few of his follower " Mr. Gibbs was defeated and Hon. H W. Corbett was elected as a compro mise candidate. The same game wa intended to be played upon Mr. Mitch ell which was practiced on Mr. Gibbs six years ago, but owing to Mr. Mitch ell's many personal and political friend and his quick tact, the plot signalN filled, without the Democratic part; capturing any one. As a lawyer, Mr. Mitchell has proved himself the peer of any man in Orel gon. As a statesman, wo predict will do credit to himself, and be ai honor to Oregon. Inside View of the Senatorial Contest. The following'letter and telegram have been sent us from Sahra, foi publ hcation. They speak for tiemselves : Jacksonville, Sepi. 22, 1872, .cxocii tviUKEK jj ear air: wear informed by tho papers that yon vote for Corbett. But you are not to vot for Mr. Corbett, nor any other man no of the party. We pay all duo deffe ence to your objections to any one a a man, but you represent the republ cans of Jackson Co., not Mr. Walkei not any party outside of the pajty. Mr. Walker wo ask this as the parti not as a friend, for that you know w arc, but as one of the great party thai now rules and will rule the country years longer. Corbett has placed hi ml sen outside our party. 'Iho nomine of the caucus is the man, him we exJ pect you to sustain. Jako Thompson McCall, Beekman, Savaste, Rislev. Rev Brother Capt. Applegate and man others all ask you as the representative of Jackson county to sustain the nom-l inee of the party. We cannot purify anything by leaving it, as well as stay ing right by it and directing it your self. We ask this in justice to us who sent you there, not as Mr. Walker, but as tho representative of ourselves. There you should forget you was Mr. Walker but the representative of us. Do this and we shall thank you always. Mr. Langell is pleasing us by his course. Corbett and Williams was his choice, but he bowed to the majority. That was right even if it did not jibe with his preferences. Mr. Driver, dif fers with us, but he is not aware of the situation. Corbett without Williams can do nothing without assistance, and we judge of his course by the past.. You read the Congressional Globe of i860 and 1870 and see the course he pursued against us here and you will not hesitate an instant against him. lours truly, hoping to meet you soon saying you worked for Jackson Co. Southern Oregon. I remain yours truly, E. R. ANDERSON, J. M. McCALL, JAKE THOMPSON. And I can get many republicans here to sign a petition to you to go for the nominee J. H. Mitchell. Hurry up so you can do your duty and get rid o( outside lunuence. J. is annoying. The letter was dated Jacksonville postmarked at Phoenix, and was dated! before any volo was taken. It haj many mistakes in it, and it bears oil its face that it was not genuine, and that it was written by a very illiterate man, or for a burlesque. It was written by an inexperienced man, who acknowl edged it to Mr. Walker and several others as soon as he heard there was a dispute about it, and asked his forgive ness. It was a very silly, disreputable trick, but is no legal crime. We hope it will prove a good lesson to the au thor, and that he will never be guilty of such a trick again. Messrs. Walker and Langell received, next day, the following dispatches on the subject: To Hon. E. F. Walker: I have not authorized any person to say I opposed Corbett, nor have I authorized any one to use my name in any shape whatever in connection with the election of Sen ator. If any person says I told him to say one word to cither you or Langell in regard to tho matter he tells a false hood. C. C. BEEKMAN. E. B. Walker also telegraphed the following from Jacksonville to H. Y. Thompson: Beekman prefers Corbett to Mitchell, but will not advise our Representatives who to go for, and this is tho general ffceling,here prevalent. E. B. WATSON. Salem, Sept. 7, 1872. To H. Kellt, Jacksonville: Mitch ell only wants two votes of being Sen ator. Get, regardless of expense, the following persons to telegraph and wnto to Walker to stand by tho Re publican nomiaee: 1st, Yourself and Stanley; 2d, Jacob Thompson, Con stant and Wrisley; 3d, Other good Republicans. B. F. DOWELL. Jacksonville, Sept. 28. To Langell and Walkee : Vote for the Republican nominee. Signed: IL Kelly, J. B. Wrisley, W. H. Merryman, U. S. naydeu, J. A. Cardwell, John Bilger, J. T. Hunt, J. N. Bell, II. F. Phillips, D. Crone miller, N. Caton, W. W. Dennis, George Brown, C. W. Savage, Wm. Boyer. Jacksonville, Sept. 28. To Langell and Walker: Inas much as Mitchell is the nominee vote fy Til of Greeley and the adoption of his plat form ; says the watchword is not any thing to beat Grant, but anything to prevent Greeley from beating and de stroying the Democratic party, and that Grant's election will be less a ca lamity than that of Greeley. When the former is chosen, the responsibility will rest on Baltimore, which refused the peoplo either a Democratic nomi nee or a platform. It concludes by invoking all Demo crats to vote for O'Conor and Adams. Eminent Preacher Dead. The cel ebrated Methodist minister, Peter Cart wright, died at his home in Pleasant Plains, Illinois, Sept. 25th, at the ad vanced age of eighty seven years. He was one of tho founders of the Metho dist Episcopal denomination in the West, where for more than 40 years he has been an active exponent of the faith, gaining a national celebrity for his energy and eccentricities prior to to the present generation. Another Indian War. General Sherman gives it as his opinion, based upon the opinions of officers in service in Decotah and Arizona, that Indian wars in those Territories are unavoida ble and imminent. More Arbitration. The telegraph informs us that Spain has resolved, to submit to the arbitration of European powers tho justness of her claims against the United States for damages by oar'Cuban filibusters.
