The courts of San Francisco have decided that no private Instructions or agreement can affect the purchaser -who bids in good faith, at an auction sale, without notice of such understanding, and that the owner of the property must nv.kc good the sale.

We wonder some times, if Copperheads who prate so loud ly aguin.-t the Union Party in its civiliz ing progress, ever take into account the immensity of the ben 'fits conferred upon the human race by the opening of schools in the south for Freedmen? The Bureau SupViiiteudcnt of Instruction in Georgia reports 200 colored schools in that State, a: 100,000 colored persons learning, in one way and another, to read and write. These schools extend over -1G counties, giving from one to 17 sdiools to each. Thi total cost of sustaining thse schools larm n'h was Sfi.God. of which the Freed -men paid .);)', the Ruivuu $10, and Northern societies $3,840. Mm:imi: o:.- I Io -TIIK-Day.

While this building remains as the pub lication ofiice of the Herald, that journal will need no other evidence of its re markable pecuniary success. The whole cosi, including the site, is understood to have been about SG00.OQ0. t was gen erally expected that when it got into its new building the Herald would come out in a new dress and with ampler di mensions so as to come up to its young t contemporaries in these particulars. It disappointed the public in both, their Qaeiug no enlargement of the sheet, while the printing is as dirty and a uuwhola- Interests or t:ie Country. The late war greatly accelerated the de velopment of the iron interest of the coun try. An immense amount of metal was required for heavy guns, monitors and for tifications. Every furnace and foundry was busy. This extraordinary demand has of course ceased. But still the wants of the country are greatly in excess of the supply. We import crude iron from Wales and Scotland, under all the discourage ments of a high tariff; and the bulk of all the steel required for our home manufac tures still comes from abroad. Great progress has been made in rolling railroad iron, especially since the fact has been pretty well established that imported rails are of an inferior quality. The condition requiring rails of American manufacture to be laid On the Pacific Railroad, has also stimulated this branch of the iron in terest. Public attention on the Pacific coast, has hi en ?o strongly turned to the devel opment of the precious metals that, until a recent period, no e.Toris were made to dis cover what resources we might have for building up a great local iron interest, ad equate to the rapidly growing interests of the coast. A blast-furnace has been erect ed in Clackamas county Oregon with every prospect of success. But no furnace for pig-iron has yet been put up in Cali fornia, says the Bulletin. Every now and then a miner or prospector for something better, etunib':g on a hvA of iron ore, and beyond a mere mention of the circum stance, hardly any notice is taken of the fact. No remarkable discoveries have been made of iron ore ; yet, putting to gether all th it has incidentally been found out, it is pretty certain that we have quite enough resources in the way of ore for ail the iron likely to be required here. Many of the ore beds are not located at the most favorable points, but those render it pretty certain that others can be found with the desired combination of advan tages for the location of blast furnances. We hear of one or two projects looking io such results, but they are not mature enough to speak of details. The erection of the very extensive iron-works at the Potre.ro, where the secondary stages of manufacture will be carried on, and the great increase of foundry requirements, renders the question of crude production one of increasing interest. We shall soon lind out whether it is a practical thing to supply our own markets with home made pig-iron. A LiimAKT. How often do we hear persons lament their lack of education. and, not unl'requently, severely sensure their parents lor this deficiency. Such persons claim that if their parents bad given them tho advantages of an early and a more thorough education, they could succeed better in business, make their mark in the world, and be much happier than they ' now are. This is hu man nature : It is perfectly natural for us to attach the blame of all our misfortunes and troubles to some one else, rather than see in these ditlicuUies the exemplification of our own want of application, short comings and faults. No doubt there are persons whose early education have been sadly neglected, and that there are parents highly culpable for such neglect. JJutthe fault of neglect does not end with the parents laches, it too frequently attaches to and becomes a part of the individual himself. Dut after all, what is education '! It is certainly nothing more than the ac quisition, proper classification and appli cation of correct ideas. If such is the fact, a college is not the exclusive means of obtaining this desirable qualification for the battle of life. A college is merely a favored entrance, among many to the fields of thought, intelligence, hieand nothing more, 'there are tew Americans who cannot read anil write ; and fewer still wdio have not sullicient leisure to de vote one hour out of each twenty lour ot their lives to reading. And there, it the books are properly selected, if the person reads history, science, travel, or poetry. instead oT works ot liction. many new ana useful ideas will be obtained each day. and in the course of a few years these daily acquisitions of information, properly ar ranged and worked up will amount to a rreat deal, in fact to an education. Nei ther Clay. Lincoln, nor Douglas had tho advantages of a collegiate education they were all' poor in early lite, and it was thus working up of the'seraps of time. that, stored their minds with the knowledge that gave them such prominence and pow er in'after life. Such was their education, acquired side by side with their struggle for daily bread. Jiut on the contrary, many very many persons spend hours each day in loi tering about stores, saloons, or in the streets, or perhaps in iisdess idleness at home, and ignorance, and in competence to discharge even the ordinary duties of life, are two among the m tnv bad effects of such a wanton murder of time. But killing time in this way also draws in its train a useless, fooii-Th ex penditure of money, that ought to be ap plied in a far ditierent cause. There is a complete remedy for r.II this. That, rem edy is a good public library. One that will attract ami direct the minds of the young in fhe right directions. Who will be the first to take the initiatory step in con fering the boon on this community? To any person desiring to do so the column ofthe ExrimrnrsK are always open. The movement ought to be made now in order to be prepared with good reading matte." for the winter. A Fink SroNK QrAiiur.

We take the following telegraphic news from dispatches to the Orojonian. Formal charges have been made against Isaac Newton. Commissioner of Agricul ture, of incapacity and bad management. Havana advices says that the Governor General has ordered the consular agents of jfiarez to leave Cuba. ,w During the recent visit of Sheridan to Galveston he was so convinced of the dis loyalty of the police that he removed every man from the Chief down. McCulloch has telegraphed to the Col lector of San Francisco to send an agent to Silka to take charge of the treasury business until Howard arrives. The Kansas branch of the Union Pacific Railroad is completed to Fort Ellsworth. 220 miles we'si ot the Missouri river. The work is very vigorously pushed. Considerable interest is being manifest ed in ihe choice of a Republican candi date far Governor of Ohio. Congressman I ays, of Cincinnati, apparently has the inside track. It is understood that a small utiprefend irtg tenement at Niagara Falls, on the Canada side. lias been rented by Jeff. Davis for a summer house. It is half wav between the Clifton House and Qneens iowii. The .Maryland Constitutional Conven tion adopted a "substitute for the article in the bid of rights with reference to slavery. It claims that compensation is due for the slaves freed by the United States. The land commissioner has sent in structions to the Surveyor of Montana to put into etfeet the public land svsfem in that Territory. The Suveyor s office is at, He'ena. The freed men's bureau agents in Vir ginia. Georgia and South Carolina show an improved condition of affairs on the labor question. Bu' for Government aid many whole families would have starved. Sheridan fe'eraphs that the largest political meeting and pro e-sion ever held in New Orleans, took place May 2J;fh under the auspices of the Republican party. Indian depredations on the overland rou'e are reported m imager l ass. eat of Sulphur Springs, and at Rock Creek station on the r.oino Citv mi l Silt, Lake line. Ben H d!'td y w as detained at Salt Lake on the oth bv these troubles. A New York dispatch says: "The Board of lieaiih reports that wooden pave ments are u;iheu:thy.'' So, aiso. did a physician report about Oregon flour, but people will have it. even in New York, where health is a boon. It is currently reported that the Pres ident does not approve the action of 0'U. Pope in removing fhe Mayor and police oi "chile., and will order them to be reinstated, basing his action fn Swayne's report, that the riot was not premedi tated. The Maryland Republican State Central Committee has called a Convention of border States to meet on the 1-th of Sep tember, inviting the Republicans of Vir ginia. Kentucky. Tennessee and Missouri to co operate bv sending delegates. The King of Daly, in as peech, welcomed the treaty of London. Nevertheless he said we must indulge in no illusions. Other complications may arise. We shall be fortunate if in this period of peace. wre suc ceed in reorganizing our financial con dition. The National Grand Lodge of Good Templars has been in session at Detroit. Michigan. It adjourned to meet at Pough kecpsie. next year. A resolution was adopted recommending the formation of county leagues pledged to vote for none but temperance men. The attendance was rpiite large. Dates from New Orleans to May 3lst. states that the city of Mexico had capitu lated. OTIara was shot (or correspond ing with Liberals. Maxmi'ian and all his oHicers above the rank of Lieutenant, are reported to have been shot at seven o'clock on the evening of the loth. Pri vate letters confirm this. Minister Camp bell lias no dispatches, but he be'ieve the news to be correct. The Hcmld doubts the shooting of Maxmiiian. The limes does not remember any similar uniformity of statements from all quarters respecting the prospects of the growing grain crops. While the late spring and continued rains damaged some crops and discouraged planters in the Gulf Stntes. wheat, and corn in South Car olina. Northern 'Georgia. Alabama. Miss issippi and Arkansas, have never given belter promise. From Wisconsin, Minne sota. Indiana and Michigan, reports are equally cheering. l he Tribunes Constantinople letter of Mav 10th savs ihe settlement of the Lux emburg question has brought reforms and political KC.-iemes here to a dea l stand. ussian plans and foreign intervention in favor of Crete have failed. The Moham. medatis everywhere utter threats against the Christians. The am bass idor to Wash- ngfon has not vet gom. His trreat busi ness will be prejudicial to an American alliance with Russia, and Americans in Turkey are den "red redress for the abuses of the Sultan's officers. A rumor is cur rent that Blagne Ftfendi. the new ambas sador to Washington, will propose to our Government to buy Crete. County Agkicxltuual Socjktv.

Williams, proprietor of the celebrated W die Ibnise, and ltiver Side Track, opposite Miiwaukie. is desirous of accommodating the base ball clubs of this city and Portland with afield for their sports. The location being mid way between the two places, would un doubtedly be a fine place for stated meet ings. We submit his request to the re spective clubs. Rapid Piunting.- We hope our friends in this city will recollect, that we have made ample preparations for printing cards, circulars, bill-heads, checks, re ceipts, blank statements, etc.. etc. Ia fact we can now uo wors oi any uescr.puon.

The Gazette suggests to fhe yeung men of Corvallis the propriety of organizing a base ball club It would afTord a health ful and pleasant pastime. The Gazelle is privately informed that a four-Lorse hack is running between Cor vallis and the Yaquina. Privacy in such matters is rather peculiar to a certain class iu Oregon. ' The Ortjonian says there is a ' scheme on foot'" in Portland to construct a draw bridge across the Willamette, connecting wittAhe highland at" Fast Portland. We presume this - sAeme" will end like the Tulatin Plains road, a draw " game'' in stead of a draw bridge,': says the Gazelle. The Oreon!un of Tuesday last stated there was iiot then less than 1200 or 1500 tons of flour and wheat in store in Port land awaking shipment. The OrljUmme took a full cargo, and loft enough for the Live 1 'aukee. iiow due, and the Jjax. to come. J. B. Alexander it Co., have started a copperish sheet at Ftigene under the name of The Guard. They promise improve ment oil the start. The Guard has a good word for Eugene. We quote: - We are proud of Eugene and hive great hopes of future importance. At the head of navi gation on the Willamette, situated on a plateau free from the miasma of swamps, surrounded by a scope of the best country of Oregon, with a population unsurpassed and almost unequaled. iu the valley for sobriety, civility and industry, if our clti Zi'tis will only continue as they have be gun this spring. Eugene will be noted as one of the most prosperous and pleasant villages in the S:a e.'J Bro. Carter, of the Gazelis. was shown a spee.men of some fine coal, from a lead recently discovered by Messrs. Dixon and (gle.-by on Lear Creek, a tribu:ary of Yaq ii-ia fiver, it is .said to b ' qu.te ex tensive. ;ii:d near a point where steam boats may land to receive it on board. A company is being organized to work this lead and others in its vicinity. There is immense wealth deposited iu the moun tains in ihe west part of this county await ing ihe investment of capital and the ap plication of labor to 'bring it into practical use. The inexi aus ible coal mines, to sa v nothingofthemir.es of precious metals, will ah. ne. at no distant, day, prove a source of incalculable advantage to our people. 1 he Oreyonlan refers to a pamphh-t on .Minnesota, prepared for the purpose of inviting imm'grafiou to that S'e.re. This is not the first pamphlet of the kind issued. Minnesota has for years taken such meas ures, and the wealth of that, State attests the profit of the venture. Wheelock wrote three or four books on Minnesota, and was paid out of the public funds for if. We have beiore allnded to the propriety of Oregon taking such a course. As the r ... .. t ... . . . . . 'i fjonnirb sas: it won at no worm a ,',;zen Immigration Aid Socv'ties. because it would be sent ul I- comparatively :!'LiIi expense to every hamlet in the country and would be read by tens of thousand's who could never be reached in any other way. By such means all the facts con nected with our State, which would bo likely to have imiaenee in directing emi gration here, might be put in .such shape as to have a powerful effect in places where now Oregon Is scarcely known at ail and rareiyever mentioned. A grut'emiui who wi'p.e-sed the opera tion vouches for the truth of the following : About a week sinco a Chinese woman sickened and died and was buried in the cemetery on the east side of the river, where her remains lay undisturbed for two or three days. Alter her burial in form itRm was received that a large num ber of defunct Celes'iais were about being shipped back to the Flowery Kingdom, and inviting Portland Chinamen to send along the remains of all their friends. Notwithstanding ihe short time this wo man's body had been in the ground, a pair of resurrectionists started for the cemetery and dug up the woman's body. While one was lilting in Ihe grave, tho other kindled a tire, and hung over it. a pot of water. Everything being in readi ness the head and limbs were severed from the corpse and thrown into the pot. after slicing oil' the flesh as closely as pos s.ble. The remainder of the corpse was treated in like manner, till all the bones were boiled clean, and placed in a sack. The flesh was burned up. and the disgust ing operators returned to the city, con ciuding no doubt, with packing up the bones for shipment. This diguting ope ration was witnessed by a man who is anxious to know whc.her such things are allowed to go unpunished in a civilized commumtv. savs the Heruld. Emigration ano Innovation. For sev eral days past says the Roseburg Ihshjn, we have observed a great number of wag ons passing southward, many of them con taining families seeking new homes or rambhng in search of better opportunities than they have found in the Willamette. veJlev. 'We have known families, becom ing (fissafisiied with Oregon tor trival or ima'M.iarv causes, to migratetoCau.or.ua. hopmg to find an eiysinm where they might wallow in the luxuries of lite with out the commonplace experience of hard toil. And have noticed that witom a short time thev generally return wit.i re newed appreciation of our healthy and fertile State. There is. perlnps. no country w.uue better opporiunilk-.; are oifered for hfo lime homes than in Oregon. The ordina ry resources of wealth are all at hand : r'e h sail, abundant pasture, fine timber and io fact, everv requisite for mechani-m. :g r.cutture and stock glowing. Commerce here, as elsewhere, mast necessarily be Governed bv the indusvrial arts. It the . . i ,i i i people produce more item uie.v can naui to m irket on their wag. ins. 'he il-unand for transportation w;d be supplteu by the construction of Railroads. As a kind of in nvkis'j o.dset to ill's pour ing out. we notice an influx of Chinese in habitants, who are finding remunerative si. nations throughout the country. This is a very injurious exchange for Oregon, and one that mast be viewed with d.sgust by the citizens generally. Tiies;' dusky innovators, however, are but transient resalenis, stiii ihey are less offensive on the ou skirls of abandoned mines, than in contact with civil and domestic life in our mid.d, Kkpt his Aokkk.'.iknt. Very often peo ple iind fault with people ia Oregon for not keeping their agreements. Whether just or not the complaint is frequent. On Monday one of the livery -stable keepers of this place said to us that he desired us to meat. on that one of his contractors had more than complied with the stipulations to furnish a quantity of feed had even been to the trouble oi bringing the grain iu before it was fully due- But 'said he,' - It may be owing to the fact that the price had fallen, and possibly, hal it been otherwise. I might not have received the grain."' Alas for the rarity, etc. Hail SrouM. On Wednesday last this region was visited by a thunder shower, accompanied by a terrible hail storm, such as is seldom witnessed in Oregon. No harm has resulted, but on the oTher hand all nature seems more blooming than bvfor the storm. m m m ' ' jy O- "111 1 ill ii ii . i iwiwmi 'j n J'-ll!.l!l- ilSM'iwi-.'g'- ..1..2j.BPSfflSw.-'m J ilrtflWitjMUS,-..
