The question of the next Presidency has already begu-; to engage the attention of j politicians and io affect the conduct ot the two great partiey into which the people of the United States are divided. Names of prominent men have been freely canvassed, and the adherents of particular candidates have declared themr-elves in various parts of the country. "We hear, on every side, says the New York Xeics of June 22d, of Gen. Grant, and Gen. Sherman, and Ad miral Farragut, as each having claims to the Chief Magistracy. We desire to say nothing in relation to the competition for the office, or any particular individual who has been named in connection with it. Put we must be allowed to express the earnest hope that both the Democrats and the Republicans will select, as their candidate, some gentleman of acknowl edged statesmanship from the civil walks of life. We mean no disparagement to the eminent representatives of the army and navy, but the exigency of the times demands, in our next President, an ac quaintance with the theory and practice of government, which it is impossible in the very nature of things that a naval or military hero can have acquired. Now, if ever, in the history of this Government should the very highest qualities of the statesman be sought for in the occupant of the Presidential chair. The issues are too momentous, the duties are too complex and serious, to be entrusted to a general or commodore, no matter how exalted may have been his position, or how valu able anil conspicuous his services. Whether the President be Republican or Democrat, let hiin bring to the discharge of his great office a thorough familiarity with the diffi cult and delicate business of administra tion, an honest purpose to secure the prosperity and glory of the country, and an enlarged and liberal mind trained in the study of that most abstruse of all the sci- the science of governing.

'juuiv A.i..HD ir.fo-ations seem to foreshadow a financial U -1 isis in our country. From all parts of O'ur coast we receive information that points m that direction, and in anticipa tion ot a failure m money matters, it w ould be well for persons in every condition to prepare themselves for such Coo.s Bay. We quote the following from a letter from Coos Bay, dated July 12th: " Coos Bay is about fourteen miles long by one and a half to two and a half miles wide. The main bay lies northeast and southwest, with an elbow in the upper bay running north and south. At its mouth the United States have estab lished a lighthouse, with a fine light of the second class. The bar at the entrance has from fourteen to sixteen feet of wa ter at high tide, enabling vessels of a large class to enter. At the head of the bay Coos river comes in. which extends inland some twenty-iive miles, affording fine bot toms for farms. On the south shore of the bay. four miles from the ocean. Empire City is situated, which contains Captain Fuse's fine steam lumber mill with sufficient capacity lor turning out fifteen or twenty thousand feet of lumber per day. It also contains three stories, three hotels, a line schoolhouse, puolic hall for the Good Templars of which they have a thriving Lodge two organ ized churches, etc. Empire is also the county seat of Coos County, vitb the coun ty officers all in a prosperous condition. Business is quite brisk here, with a de mand tor more laborers. Nearly oppo site the town a new company have re cently started a fishery. Further up the Bay lour miles around the Elbow, in a sheltered place from the winds of winter, is the thriving point called North Lend, owned and built bv Capt. A. M. Simpson. who runs a line mill with the capacity of thirty to forty M. feet per day. The Cap tain also runs his lumber in his own ves sels, of which he has four and another nearly completed, which is the largest sail vessel ever built on the Pacific coast. Four miles above; North Bend Mr. Push- becker is building a new mill which is to cut twenty M. teet per uay. the latter place is named Maihfield. near which the coal mines are located, from which they ship six hundred tons per month to S. F. making in all quite a large show ot snip ping from Coos Bay. At the three points named they employ seven vessels con stantly, ranging f rom two hundred to three hundred tons burthen, and one hu ge steam tug for towing vessels m. i wo more tugs are to be built on this Bay. this summer. and another vessel. Coos Lay coal seems to be abundant everywhere in the di ide between Empire City and the Coquilla ; yet mostly undeveloped for want of capi tal and labor. Lumbering and coal min ing, and indeed all the industrial enter prises of Coos Bay, a re yet in their in fancy. Time and energy will bring forth and garner her hidden resources. Carter & McCord have commenced manufacture of soap at Albany. The Aurora Brass Band assisted in University commencement at Salem, Tuesday. The Messrs. Crawfords have disposed of their mill in Albany, known as the Mag nolia Mill" to J. 11". Foster & Co. The Salen nincompoop tries to be phunny on the Base Ball question but he makes most unmiserable failures at wit and sense he never had. Prof. Rutjes has been enlivening the Salem public with music at church ser vice, ami those fine organs at Farrish & Yeaton's. Robert .Henry, son of Urban E. and J. A. Hicks of Portland, died at the age of ten years on the 10th after an illness of less than half a day. The H: raid -omitted" to nntire the re turn of Councilman FechVmhere one day last week, but hastened to give him the benefit on Saturday, before the meeting of the Council. The Sentinel says two men were robbed on the night of the Kith at a hotel in Jack sonville. n the morning of the loth some scoundrel stole a saddle and horse at Ashland, and made his escape. John Fit.hugh. one othe convicted ball-room murderers, instead o! a felon s cell, is now occupying a prominent place in the Roseburg Ensign office, says the Jacksonville Sentinel. As showing a reviving confidence in the future of the Dalles, we are informed that a leading Portland firm will shortly re-open the store formerly occupied by II. Herman & Co, says the .Moxntnineer. The Lawrence Kansas, Tribune, of May 14th, says : ' A company of twelve fami lies have left Nemaha county, recently, for Oregon. There were between fifty and sixty persons, men, women and children, witli an outfit of twenty wagons. 1 ne itinerating theives have come to gnei. l ney are reported as being young men, capable of earning an honest living. 1 ne property stolen from Mr. Ladd at St Helen, was found in their possession. They give their names as John Whalan and Frederick J. Pananha. A rumor was bandied about the streets of Portland on Monday, to the effect that the steamship Oreijonian will bo soon put on the Oregon route by her new owners. as part of an opposition line. The rumor is probably without any foundation in fact. The State Tiiijlds Democrat must be in the last stages of consumption. We ob serve that the following physicians have taken it in hand : Dr. J. M. McCoy. La Creole. Polk county : Dr. J. E. Davidson, Independence ; Dr. Harris, Monmouth. The Advocate says : The courts are do ing an immense business, of late, in sun dering matrimonial ties. The bare record of such facts indicates a deplorable state of morals in society. It becomes necessa ry for all, who have the least regard for the purity and decency of society, to frown upon and suitably condemn there hasty, ill-advised and needless separa tions. Capt.

We find the fol lowing paragraph in the Savannah Kiyntb-l-iean of June Sth. Ibti", in an article de nunciatory of a Massachusetts negro who was stirring up a muss in that vicinity : The day is not far distant, if the colored people progress for the next five years at the rate they have during the last three years, when the colored people of Georgia will undoubtedly have several intelligent ami respectably educated njen of their own color, qualified in every way to seek, and competent to sain, admission to the bar. not only to plead for the rights and cause of the'colored people, but to reflect honor and credit upon their own race. If Maine. New York or Massachusetts cannot . produce smarter colored men than this turbulent and seditious fellow,' we pity the black men of that section. Georgia has thousands of ex-slaves whom she can send up there as missionaries to enlighten them. Rid the South of such unprincipled adventurers as the party we have alluded to above, and an element of strife and dis cord wound be removed from our midst which w ould make the restoration of peace and a perfect reconciliation between the two races an easy matter.

There is awakened ia the minds of men a universal consci ence, and evil inters must fight witn the public opinion of the world. Let not our country unhinge the moral forces by sym pathies with evil among ourselves or harsh words for punishment on criminals abroad. City Ei.ectiox. After weeks of repeated failures to get a quorum, the common council of Portland met on last Wednes day evening. The regular order of busi ness was dispensed with, and the board went into an election for city officers, re sulting in the selection of Judge A. E. Waite for Mayor : David Freidenrich. City Attorney ; Win. McMillan. Street Commis sioner ; G. II. Belden. Surveyor. After 42 ballots for Marshal the council ad journed without deciding between John A. Carr and A. RosenheiVn. Messrs. Wait. McMillan and Freidenrich are Democrats. Walkkh and Maximiliax. The Terri torial Euterj-rise, of Virginia City, Nevada, makes a parallel in the cases of Walker and Maximilian, in the style of Plutarch, showing the disastrous adventure of each in search of Emnire nml v,.r,i..v; plain that if Walker deserved death Max'i- I know it. minim merited the same fate. Min.n deserved hie dea'di. also The Gazelle says : Instead of ceasing to roll " the Temperance Ball is increas iuir in velocity. Bro. Adams our Grand Lecturer, is a host wiihin himself. At CTaquato, W. T., w here it was supposed, by those best acquainted, that not ten Temperance advocates could be found. Bro. A. recently organized a lodge with seventeen charter members. He has also just organized the fourth lodge in Portland. The work goes bravely on. The general impression is that th h ty crop in this valley is unusually light. Whether that be so or not. a great portion of it was in the swath hist week and much of it must have been more or less injured by the heavy rains that have prevailed of late. The oldest inhabitant cannot recol lect when such a quantity uf rain has fal len, before 20th of July. The Herald says : Captain Kellogg. Su perintendent of construction for the P. T. Company, has just returned from the Tual atin River, after having made arrange ments for the construction of draws' in the several bridires which span that stream. During the era of flat boat navi gation upon this stream the bridges were high enough except in times of extraor dinary high water. A full Hedged is about to supercede these primitive boats, and hence many changes are necessary. Mr. J. N. Skidmore, living in Columbia county, opposite Oak Point, was severely hurt o;i the first ot last i-eoruary, navmg had his arm diseolated from the shoulder by receiving a kick from an ox. The arm was set, but lately it was ascertained that it was not rightly done, and it being so long since the injury was inflicted it has been deemed proper to let it alone. This is a hard blow on Mr. Skidmore. who finds his beginning to open a farm in that vicinity greatly retarded in consequence. Mr. Skidmore was formerly a Policeman at Portland. The Mountaineer notices the arrival of Col. Ruckel from his quartz mill in the Powder river country, and learns that the prospect for a rich reward for the Col onel's industry and perseverance, was never more flattering than at the present time. A new lode has been found which is said to be very rich. We hope this may all prove true and that he may reap the reward due to one of the most enter prising men of Eastern Oregon. The Oregonian has a sensible article up on newspaper competition. We copy the closing paragraph. The condition in which the Herald pictures itself, suggests an anecdote and furnishes the apolieation. A young man who greatly desired wealth was visited by his Satanic Majesty who tempted him to dispose of his soul for eternity if he could be supplied on earth with all the money he could use. The bargain was concluded, and the young man began to live most extrav.urantl v and to squander all the money he could. Still he could not reduce his pile of gold. One expedient after another failed. At last he started a newspaper. The plan succeeded! The money gave out and the paper went down,' but the soul was saved. The strong probability is that it w.:s a Democratic newspaper. Th.. tide of emigration which this year is tending from Europe to America is exceeding anything heretofore given, says F-tfta F.ird. From January to June, live months, the number arriving at the port of N. Y. has exceeded eighty-two thous and a number greater than the entire population of Oregon, and for the month of May alone there was thirty-six thous and. Most of these emigrants are of a better class than formerly, and about three-quarters proceed at once to the West ern States. You will shortly begin to feel the effect of this great tide of hu manity rolling onward to the Pacific. California and Oregon should do some thing to induce a larger emmigration to those States. Mr. P. T. Wallace, who resides on Fif teen Mile Creek, informs the Mountaineer that he has sheared eight hundred and twenty-nine head of sheep this season, av- ! eraging five pounds and six ounces per i head. From one Southdown buck the j fleece weighed ten pounds and eight ounces, and from one ewe, suckling a ; lamb, half Southdown and half Merino. ten pounds and three ounces. He dis posed of his wool to a firm, who are buy ing for the Oregon City Woolen Factory, at twenty cents (coin) per pound. If there is any section of Oregon or Califor nia mat can Lieat this, we should like t- This is merely an aremw. earn. pie of what hundreds of our wool-growers, are doing iu thi county. Parties who have visaed Seio represent j it as in a very prosy e u condHL n. The town is growing rapidly and has a lively j appearance, indicating thrift and trade. It is surrounded by beautiful valleys and possesses many elements of prosperity. In fact it is said to be in advance of any oth er town in the State not on the river and favored by navigation. It is ; n incorporat ed city, and its Marshal hasmany hard cus tomers to manage. Seio Lodge No. ''3. A. F. it A. M.. was instituted, and officers were installed on the lMh inst. by T. McF. Patton. Esq., 1. G. Secretary, of Salem, by authority of Grand Master A. A. Smith. I. U. Tharpe was installed as Master. Geo. M. Stroud as S. W.. and J. N. Griffin as J. W.. E. E. Uhler Secretary. Bradenshaw. Treasurer. A Lodge of Good Templars has also been established there. The Corvallis Gazette savs that the official certificate of Gov. Woods, accepting thirty miles ot i aquma agon Koad. was lor warded to the Secretary of the Interior on the 17th inst. a duplicate of which cer tificate may be seen at the edifice of the Road Company. The act of Congress granting these lands provides " that a quantity of lands not exceeding thirty sections may be sola, and when the Gov ernor of said State shall certify to the Secretary of the Interior that any continu ous ten miles of said road are completed, then another quantity of land granted, not to exceed thirty sections, may be sold." The Road Company now has a full right to sell ninety sections of land. The title to these lands is now completely vested in the Corvallis and Yaquina Bay Wagon Road Company. Persons desirous of pur chasing may do so immediately with the assurance of getting good titles. Every towi on the Pacific Coast is cursed less or more with croakers. Un fortunately the Dalles possesses more than her share of these soreheads, says the Mountaineer, who are constantly seeing ruin and collapse ahead. In their anxiety to induce others to share a corresponding feeling. they manufacture stories to suit tiie times." Occasionally we are given to understand that the O. S. N. Co., is de termined to reduce the Dalles to the con dition of the Cascades, next that the min ing districts are all played out."' and that the country is going" in." Now if anv of these croakers would only take their stand at the Express Ofiice on the arrival of the cars from above, and notice the amount of treasure which constantly flows down here, they would be forced to admit that a town holding the key to tl e gateway of the great country, which sends twenty "millions to the commercial citit s in the world, is destined to become some thing more than the home of the Piutcs. A most unhappy event is thus recorc led by the Sentinel : Last week we published an account of ihe discovery of the putrid corpse of a w oman in the house of Charles R. Mulford. near Uniontown. We since learn that the name of the deceased was Mullen, that she was a person of more than ordinary education : was formerly a teacher at the Overbeck Grove, in this county ; but for several years past was comp fetelv under the control of opium ami intoxicating drinks. Mulford, who was brought into town on Friday last, greatly emaciated and partially deranged lrom an habitual use of the same stimu lants, died on Sunday evening, the shat- of what once was a refined and educated gentleman. Mulford was at one time in the employment of Eugene. Kelly it Co., of San Francisco, and a for wards a clerk for IhmnerA' Brother of this place, and a young man of excellent abil ity and business qualifications. Under the head of'1 why fidi are scarce' the Albany Journal says : It is a remark of every one along the Willamette river, that fish are unusually scarce in that stream. It' any one will stand au hour or two in a drugstore, and see the demand for fish berries." (rrvc)i'i(s itijirit.s) the scarcity of the piscatory tribe ean be easily accounted for. The ( ,V vlannn I is jH d r',ih jmisou .' and millions of fish are killed iu order that a few dozen may be picked up by those who are willing to eat diseased fish rather than angle for them i:i a christianlike way. In other Slates the law has stepped in to prevent such ru'hlossness. and it is time that Oregon had some legislation on the subject. A few such enterprising fellows as the one reported to sit at a Salt spring and shoot twenty-five or thirty deer pet day during the fawn season, alone for their hides, and the fish berry gang, will soon settle the game question in Oregon. We wonder if the fish-berry angleis visit the mountain lakes for trout ? TELEdiKAPHIC SEWS. news "We take the following telegraphic from dispatches to the Ore-j.,ti.'o.ui. The disease of Rt. Rev. T. F. Scott was 'yellow fever, contracted tit Panama. The China steamers have been author ized to stop at Yokahama and Osaka. An Imperial ship has sailed for Mexico, to demand the remains of Maximilian.

Nye and Cole are warmly in favor of Abbot's proposition for nego tiations with Juarez, for the annexation of Mexico. The New York constitutional convention has adopted resolutions declaring negroes entitled to the same rights and immunities as whites. The New York market on the 20th was more active. The certainty of good crops impelled large purchases to meet the wants of consumers. A New York dispatch of the 17th says : Trade is improving. General markets are more active than for several weeks. There is a plethora id' money aud cheer ing reports lrom the agricultural districts, stimulating the demand for merchandise. The Postmaster General awards the contract for the mail service between San Francisco and Honolulu, to the Cal ifornia, Oregon, and Mexico Steamship Company of New York, for seventy-live thousand dollars yearly. Gen. Rosseati was at Louisville las Saturday, en rov.tc to New Orleans, where he will take leave of his family, and pro ceed direct to the department of the Co lumbia. It is understood he will meet the Russian Commissioners at Sitka, and take formal possession of that territory. Abbott, brother of the historian, lias broached the proposition to leading mem bers of Congress for the annexation of Mexico. He intimates that the propo sition has the approval of Juarez and other chiefs. The latter fear foreign intervention, of a continuance of anarchy, and prefer annexation to make themselves secure in a good government.

No doubt of that. He conversed freely villi us on the political questions now agitating the country ; anil w e must say lie talked as sound Democracy as wc ever heard. He thinks the Peconstruc tion Pill the most iniquitous and tyranni cal ever concocted by any body ot men ; and is of the opinion that its author w ill be regarded in the future as far more in famous and detestable than is Pontious Pilate ; for through the provisions of the Reconstruction Pill, a great nation's rights are remorselessly trampled under foot, and outraged, lie thinks Johnson will not be impeached not because the lead ing Radicals do not desiro it but be cause they are too cowardly to shoulder the responsibility. We left the ex-Senator firmly impressed with the " conviction, whatever may be said of him as a politi cian, that socially he has but fewr t'fpials aud no superior. The several Lodges of Odd Follows in this State, through private contributions, have recently erected a beautiful marble monument to the memory of their deceas ed brother, N. C.

The base is of Or egon ganite 22 inches square, and P.) inches thick, supporting a beautiful marble base w ith an ogl ? finish on the top ; this is 1(4 inches square, and 2 feet 2 inches high ; on this rests the column the hight of w hich is 3 feet inches and with a base of 10 inches, tapering to 7 inches at the top. making 7 feet inches in height altogether. The column bears in bold relief, beautifully engraved, the All-seeing live encircled with a halo of glory, w here rests three links representing the ever binding ties of Friendship. Love and Trutiu beneath this is a beautiful representation of an encamp ment on a lovely plain, though enchant ing as it may be. reminds one that our home is only temporary, that there is a never changing one beyond ; beneath this, on the marble base facing the tomb, is the following inscriptions : In memory of P.
