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. O .Mixe Electiox. Xews of the election in Maine shows that the two iDlitical parties have about "one "ncK on their old footing The Re.

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 wa3 yellow fever. 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. Thanks. We are requested by Major Thomas Charman to return the thanks of himself and familr through the E.v;kr- ritiSK, to thosekind citizens who so wi'lingly voluntcered their services to aid his .sun Arthur, so seriously injured by a fall from his horse on the 4th inst.
