TIIK DEFEAT.
On the 4th of this month, nn im
portant political contest in California,
was decided by ballot, and the vic
tory is not ours. But the cops, are
jubilant over the result, and well they
may be. For, with an actual force
O far sa than our own, they have
caused the Union party of that State
to strike its colors, and have borne
off the palm of victory, triumphantly.
The result is indeed humiliating,
but it is hardly necessary for us to
inquire why this is. The reason is
so prominent, thatdt requires no great
sagacity to fathom it no superior
political acumen to account for the
difference of about 27,000 votes be
tween this, aad the preceding election
in that State.
The Union party of California
was manipulated to the bitter end.
Un-scrupulous combinations, and
wire pulling cliques, have disgusted,
and for the time being, driven from
its ranks, enough candid men to pro
duce this result. Such men have
nc$ changed their political views, but
doubtless, have suffered the enemy to
obtain this victory for the purifica
tion of their own party. The time
is past, when designing and dishon
est men can manipulate the party
dnto clique nominations read out
of the party, all who dp not endorse
their operations, or who might stand
in the way of some of their own
number and then whip the lay
0 members iilo the support of their
nominations. Such operators have
taken advantage of the enthusiastic
loyalty of the people, to effect their
object, and in some instances have
succeeded. IJu it appears that some
of them have lost sight of the im
portant fact that lie mass of the
Union party is composed of honest,
intelligent, and free thinking men ;
nen, who can be neither hoodwinked,
mor forced into the support of such
measures and men.
The people ot California demanded
fair and honest nominatiors, but did
not get them. The self conceited
leaders, were working exclusively for
their owg benefit not for tho good
of ftie. party, nor tho country, and
the nominations were made accord
ingly. The peopfS disclaimed these
nominations, and the leading Union
Journals of the State echoed this dis
sent of the party, and called for a re
formation of the ticket ; but the call
was unheeded. Causes always pro
duce natural effects, and the natural
result of such a coarse was as might
have been expected indeed was pre
dieted, a victory in favor of the De
mocracy in favor of the party that
inaugurated and prosecuted the re
hellion in favor of the party that
lis now in favor of immediate recon
struction, with an indiscriminate rc-.-novation
to political rights, and an
elevation to important offices of trust,
;' the very men who tried to sever
this nation, and crush its gigantic
powers.
Tho lesson is a severe one, but it
is to be hoped that it will not be
without its beneficial effects in Cali
fornia, at least.
But will it do Oregon any good
3hc
next election in this State is an
important
one. At that election
there will be not only important local
offices to fill, but there will be men
chosen to the State Senate, who will
have ajote in electing the next Uni
ted States Senator from this State.
Then, again, the result of the next
Juno election will have a very de
cided influence upon the Presidential
vote of Oregon, at the following No
vember election.
And the result in California is a
timely warning, if our people will
only profit by it ; and there is cer
tainly some change needed in the
management ot our political affairs.
Let all personal preferences, par-
particularly of self, be dropped, and
let us go to work m earnest for tho
buU vi iuv uuiiy, auu me
country.
lhe Union party is fighting for nrin-
ciDle-
notmen for the uruat nrln
cipalof universal freedom, and equal
z
justice to all, without regard to color,
or nationality. Let the men, who
are to carry out these principles, be
.selected on account of their compe
tency and honesty not for their sup
posed availability and availability
will follow, and victory be ours.
Without pursuing this course the
next June election may lay Oregon
by the side of California in the reek
0irg mire of the rebel" ditch, and once
& soiled and disgraced by su?h a fall
Jt will be hard to reclaim.

IXTEItlOU LETTEltS,
FROM OLE TRAVELING CORRESPONDENT.
Monticello, W. T., Sept. 0th, 1SG7.
The pleasant little country village
from which I date my letter, is situs
ated on the Cowlitz river, about 2
miles from where it empties into the
Columbia, on a low, flat bottom, be
tween the two rivers. It is a pretty
place, and has a pretty name, and
yet, I think it must have been named
at random ; because the name, when
applied to the place, is certainly a
misnomer. I am told the word means
" little mountain," and this is about
the only place I have seen in this
part of Washington Territory, which
1st perfectly level. I asked a settler
why it was so named, and he did not
really know, but " reckoned it was
because it had to be named;" and I
acquiesced in his sage conclusion, in
wardly rejoicing that it had escaped
the fate of too many places in the
Territory thai are loaded, smothered,
choked down, and strangled, with
outlandish Jaw-breakingjndiaij names
I do not wonder at the woe begone,
haggard look of many of the citizens
of this Territory, when I remember
how they are compelled to twist
their faces in pronouncing the names
of their homes. I really believe some
of their countenances have grown into
shapes corresponding with the angles
and knots in the geographical nomen
clature of the country, so that a close
observer may generally know where
man lives by the shape of ;ns
mouth.
I said this is a pretty place, and so
it is, at this season of the year. Uut
from the piles of drift wood seen over
the country, I am led to the conclu
sion that it is sometimes rather moist
under foot 'though the people say it
docs not over-flow here hence, again
am led to conclude : that drift wood
ows in heaps, happily distributed
around among the neighbors for fuel.
The soil in this neighborhood is very
rich, and all kinds of grain, fruit, and
vegetables, grow in great luxuriance,
and being so near the Columbia find
a ready market at good prices. The
grasses all do well, and there are some
line dairy ranches near here, where a
verv superior quality of butter and
cheese is mad?.
Monticello is visited daily by steam
boats from Portland, and just at the
present time erjoys the luxury of a
lively opposition between the O. S
N. Company's steamer Julia, and the
llangcr. The result is quite favorable
to the traveling community, who can
get a nice steamboat ride from Port
land to this place for fifty cents. 1
am somewhat surprised that pleasure
seekers do not come here more fre
quently than they do, instead of going
to Astoria. The hunting, fishing,
bathing, etc., is equally as good here,
the climate is pleasant, the hotels first
rate, and the expense but a mere trifle
those in quest of health and amuse
ment should come and see the coun
try. Stages depart three times a
week for Olvmpia, making the trip
in two days, and I am informed there
is an opposition line, which makes
the trip as often as business will
justify, carrying passengers at a
cheaper rate than is charged by the
old line.
A r.ew light draught steamer is
being bui't at Rainier for tho Cowlitz
trade, and is designed to rur. up the
river thirty miles, and thus open to
market a rich and extensive agricul
tural district, which is now but par
tially settled in consequence of its
isolated position.
This steamer, 1 am told will run
any where that the ground is a little
damp, and I would suggest the idea,
that it would bs well for her to car
ry with her a few bottles of Colum
bia river water, for places where the
dew is light. This plan might not
be as good as that described by
r. w. c." in the Orcgonian, as
adopted by the boats on the Wil
lamette river, but it would certainly
be as feasible as the one adopted by
tho man who attempted to lift him
self over the fence by his boot straps.
I never heard whether his attempt
was successful or not.
The spirit of rivalry, and opposi
tion is not confined to the steam
boats and stages here, but it has re
cently exhibited itself in the starting
of a rival town about a mile above
Monticello though they are so near
together, and are so interspersed with
orchards and gardens, meadows and
grain-fk'Ids that it is hard to tell
" which is which. ' and the only point
of difference I have discovered is:
that at the upper town they keep
some good old fashioned Democratic
whisky and at the lower town the
Good Templars have tabood the
uroz shops, and will not even driuk
sweet cider.
Ine Aerntonal Insane Asylum is
located here, and at present I learn
there are fifteen inmates. The loca
tion may be a good one, but I think
there must be better places in the
Territory than the one selected. The
buildings are not yet finished, and do
not present a very attractive appear
ance. A coat or two of paint would
improve them.
The Territory should take more
pride in its public institutions.
I am rather favorably impressed
with Monticello, and resret that there
are not more such places in this
country. G.
Walla. Walla Couxtt. Mr.
Philip Ritz will deliver the annual
address before the fair of the above
county, on the 21 of October. Mr.
Ritz is a practical man, capable of
getting up an address worth pub
lishing. Benefit. Oa Tuesday-
evening
next Prof. Alison will lecture unon
i
" Lima and the Litnaians," at Oro
Fino DTal!, for the benefit Mrs. T.
G. O'Connor, widow of the late
policeman of Portland.
Pioxeeus. A society of Oregon
Pioneers is about to be instituted in
this State,
OSEGOV
" Angels of Mercy" That's what
the Democrat calls its patrons.
New Diggings. More gold has
been found in Jackson county, in the
Cascade range.
At Last. We are enable to state
that the Linn County Agricultural
Fair commences on the 30th inst.,
and will close on the 3d of October.
Tubs and Pails. Carter & Hay
den of Portland, will soon have a tub
and pail factory in operation, with
capacity to supply all orders for such
articles.
Coal. The Umatilla paper says
that the party lately fitted out there
to prospect, have found a vein of coal,
and a gold bearing quartz ledge. If
either ever amount to anything, the
coal is the most valuable.
The Washington Fair. This is
the 14th. One week from next Tues
day our Washington county neigh-
bors open their fair grounds near
Ilillsboro. They are a genial set of
people over there, and it we do not
go among them during the fair it will
be because we can't. We shall then
send a proxy.
Lakes in. the Mountains. The
party to which the ladies were at
tached, who lately made the ascent of
Mount Hood, tested the lakes heard
of in the Cascade Mountains for
trout, and after an hour's fishing were
in possession of nearly a hundred
fine spotted beauties. Those lakes
abound in fish.
More or Less. The type in this
office last week revolted at the idea
of stripping off four or five thousand
feet from the summit of Mount Hood
and hence caused us to say that Col.
Williamson made our pet about 21,
000 feet it should have been 11,
000 yet we are not satisfied about
the correctness of these figures.
The Cascade Wagon Road Party.
The Albany Journal of the 10th,
says: " Yesterday Sam. Headrick
and his accompanying party returned
from an examination of the road as
far as Des Chutes. All arrived
home well and hearty. They report
game abundant." We are not in
formed what was said of the road.
"Portand not Excepted? It was
a long time before the interior press
of Oregon would admit the prefer
ences of Portland. Not it is not
uncommon to hear an up-country
editor say : Speaking of home me
chanics, artists, etc., they are as good
as we have in the State " Portland
not excepted." Of the mechanics in
Oregon City, generally, they are a
little better than tho best we kuow
of in Portland.
School Lands in, Linn. The Al
bany papers nearly went crazy over
the sale of school lands in Linn
county, and after a good deal of cuss
ing somebody for not advertising the
sections, did it themselves. Speak
ing of the result of the sale the
Democrat says : The school lands for
some cause did not go off very read
ily. We are told that not more
than one -fourth were sold, and the
most of these were struck off at $2
per acre in greenbacks.
A safe Thing. The Unionist says:
We have abundance of pasturage
and water-power in Oregon to enable
us in u few years 0 raise our own
wool ar.d manufacture our own
woolen fabrics, but what intelligent
person expects us to do so if the
Copperhead party gets control of the
nation, and take off the wool tariff so
that our wool growers and factory
hands will be forced to compete with
the half-paid laborers of Europe and
Asia.
Indians in Disguise. It seems by
the Walla Walla Statesman that tho
Indians who robbed the French teams
sters on Burnt River of their teams,
watches, and every thing else, and
then tied them. Were only foot
pads in disguise. They were after
wards captured, the plunder obtain
ed, and their names ascertained to
be Sam. Alexander, John Hargrove,
George Jones, and Brown, the latter
some what ubiquitous. The prisoners
are now confined in the Auburn Jail,
where they will remain until the next
term of the District Court.
Marshal Feeler. Speaking of the
death of Marshal Keeler, the Moun
taineer says : Marshal Charles H.
Keeler was a brave and good man,
and was noted for his ability as de
tective and for his general efficiency
as a police officer. If he had a fault,
it was in being over zealous in the
performance of his official duties.
He was buried yesterday afternoon
by the Fire Department, our entire
city wearing the badge of mourning
and sorrow. Business of all kinds
w as suspended and houses closed
the schools were dismissed
sadness
was depicted on every
seem to feel the sad
has befallen our city.
face, and all
calamity that
He has gone
and we are sad.
The Dejeat. Speaking of ths de
feat in California, the Oregonian
says : The lesson taught in this case
should not be lost. Honesty in pol
itics is the only safe policy. A party
is never strong enough to make it
safe for its representatives to do
wronsr. Selfish, ambitious and unfit
men must know that trickery will
not succeed. The masses of a party
must make its nominations. Politi
cians must not cheat them out of their
choice. In selecting men for candi
dates, regard most be had to their
fitness and reputation . Cliques and
cabals to advance individual interests
must be kept down. Otherwise
party which is proud in its record,
and confident in its strength, may
meet defeat when great principles de
mand its triumph.
TELEGRAPHIC NEWS.
We take the following telegraphic news
from dispatches to the Oregon van.
Governor Helm's funeral took
place in Louisville on the 10th.
McRuer, ex-Congressman from
South Caiolina, died on the 10th.
William Legadorn, late editor of
the Troy Budget, died at Harlen on
toe 9th.
Vicksburg is under quarantine
and there were 43 yellow fever cases
the last day of August.
Rev. Thomas II. Taylor, Rector
ml '
of Grace Church, New York, died
after a short illness at his summer
resideace, on the 10th.
The telegraph announces the death
of Haunibal Hamlin at New Orleans
on the 28th of August. His disease

A Vienna telegram of September
3d, states that the United States arc
about to purchase the Danish posses
sions in the West Indies.
The Commissioner of Indian Af
fairs has received a dispatch from the
Superintendent at Omaha stating
that the Sioux and Cheyenncs want
to make peace.
The servant girls of New York on
Saturday evening last held a monster
meeting, protesting against further
demands of money for the Fenians.
Resolutions questioning the honesty
of previous expenditures and the
propriety of attempting to liberate
Ireland by subjugating Canada were
adopted.
The demonstration in honor of
Gen. Sheridan was the largest ever
seen in St. Louis. The torchlight
procession was two miles long, con
sisting of over twenty posts of the
grand Army of the Republic, and a
large number of colored organiza
tions. Lieutenant Governor Smith
and Carl Schurz delivered welcoming
speeches. Sheridan merely returned
thanks for the honor.
A large enthusiastic meeting of
the Grant Club was held on Satur
day evening in San Francisco. The
object of the club is to concentrate
the forces of the Union men of this
city in aid of the election of a Union
President, whoever may bo nomina
ted for that office. Over 800 per
sons were present.
Recent circulars from the Treasury
Department, addressed to the prin
cipal Collectors of Customs on the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts, instructs
them to inquire vigilantly into any
case of violation of the laws in rela
tion to the Coolie trade and report
any infraction thereof immediately
to the Department, as well as to no
tify the nearest United States At
torney of the same.
The eight thousand pardons grant
ed by the President since April 15,
18G5, include some rebel foreign
ministers and agents, members of the
Confederate Cabinet, Governors and
upwards of ninety brigad icr-generals,
with a due proportion of major-gen
erals. There have been four hun
dred pardon applications on file for
the past two years. About one hun
dred of these were pardoned by
Saturday's proclamation.
The Herald's special says further
alarming disclosures are about to be
made concerning Ashley 's and But
ler's conspiracy against Johnson.
The first disclosure purports that
Ashley bribed a New lork Demo
crat, Anson Derrick, to vote for the
constitutional amendment, bargain
ing to give Ilerrick's brother a Fed
eral appointment, which Johnson,
(Andy), says he was not speedy
enough to fulfill, to the satisf iction of
Ashley, since which " Ashley has
been my enemy." Ed
The conservative Convention which
met at Montgomery, Alabama,
adopted as a platform the resolutions
recently passed at tho Convention in
Pennsylvania ; mainly promising to
cherish, protect and defend the Con
stitution as the only rightful govern
ment ; acknowledging the Supreme
Court as the only arbiter of all con
flicts of powers under that instru
ment, and that each State has an ex
elusive right to proscribe the qualifi
cations of its voters. The Conven
tion appended a resolution of its
own, expressing an intention to culti
vate relat:ons of harmony between
the two races, to deal justly with
blacks and instruct them in their du
ties to themselves, to society and
their country, appealing to them to
place trust in them and to deal cau
tiously with strangers, who bear no
evidence that they arc honorable, till
they are better known.
A Fine Edifice. The M. E.
Church building at Portland is rapidly
advancing. We are informed it is
expected to cost about $30,000, of
which the larger part is already
raised, and the balance will be forth
coming. We understand that a lead
ing business man down at the Empo
rium on being asked to take stock in
this new Methodist " ship of Zion,"
offered to come down handsomely if
they would run the steeple up a few
feet higher than that of the Presby
terian, which has been reckoned
rather the crack thing in that line,
illustrating the old proverb 'com
petition is the life of trade." No
doubt the new Church, will be a
handsome affair, creditable to Port
land and our State.
JNew I la net. Prof. Watson, of
the Ann Arbor, Micb., University,
on last Friday night, while observ
ing in the vicinity of the planet Nep
tune, discovered still another planet,
hitherto unknown. In brilliancy it
is equal to a star of the eleventh
magnitude. It is situated in the
eighth ascension, 14 13', and in des
clension, G 10' north.
Jim Cavanaugh. This old Min
ncsotian is reported to have been
elected, last week, Delegate to Con
gress from Montana. He Is "an old
line Democrat but popular withal.
The Railroad. The Willamette
Yalley Railroad seems to be a fixed
fact. Arrangements have been made
by the company here with Eastern
capitalists, by which the money to
build the road is to be furnished on
a mortgage of the road and rolling
stock. The material for the first
section of twenty-five miles is already
purchased and probably on the way
by this time. As soon as the bonds
are completed, which the company
are now preparing, and seut East,
additional material will be shipped.
There is one satisfaction about this
arrangement, at least, the people of
Oregon can lose nothing, as the
builders are secured only by a mort
gage on the road, which will be ut
teily worthless until the road is
built. A friend who has recently
returned from Salem, says that after
a careful investigation of the whole
matter and an examination of the
company's books and papers, he has
concluded that we are soon to have
a railroad. As to where the road
will run, no definite information can
be had, as there has as yet been no
authorized or definite survey. If it
is to be a Willamette Yalley Rail
road it will be built in this part of
Oregon, if not it is perhaps as likely
to lead off from the head of naviga
tion on the Columbia.
The Bulletin ox the Election.
After the election in California the
Bulletin says :
If the Union party will profit by
this lesson, there will be no more
rotten primaries, no more frauds in
conventions, pnd no man put up as a
leader, who cannot, unite good men
and marshal all the elements of
victory.
What is the moral of this defeat?
The Union party is not strong
enough to carry bad men into power.
It cannot afford even to take doubt
ful men, and on the strength of old
excitements endeavor to run them
into position. It can take up its
best men and win every time. Fail
ing to do this, it insures for itself de
feat. There are 10,000 Union men
in this State, as is seen by the results
of the last election, w ho will not be
trifled with, but who will be found at
the polls with the right ballots when
good men are presented for their
support.
Grant. A movement is com--mencing
among the Unionists of Cal
ifornia in favor of Gen. Grant for the
Presidency.

Major Thomas Charman to return the thanks
of himself and familr through the E.v;kr-

SPECIAL NOTICES.
Dr. IIostetter's Stomach Bit
ters. The operation of this palatable rem
edy upon the stomach, liver and excretory
organs is singularly soothing and conserva
tive. It regulates, recruits, and purifies
them. Dyspepsia in all its forms yields to
its control and invigorating properties, and
it is recommended to mothers, enfeebled by
the cares and duties of maternity, as the
safest and best remedy they can "probably
use. In all the crisis of female life it will be
found eminently useful, and elderly persons
will derive much more benefit from it than
from ordinary stiun lants. Sold bv the drug
