Grant for Presidency. Ji"0ioial Kleciion. On the 2Gth, California elects one Judge ot the Supreme Court, and a State Super, intendent of Public Schools. The Democrats think there i. no need of I Public Schools in the State, and be ing divided this may possibly elect the -Uepubucan nominee. Thb Coolie Trade. Commenting upon the Coolie traffic our Eastern xchunges are general in their denun- Ociation, and repudiation of the system f serfdom. Won'titbeaburdenoff Ihe hearts of the laboring masses here, when they see that the trafii.; is to be outlawed, like that in slaves? , I Another Hermes. A citizen of Washington claims that after devot- - ing years to the subject of serial nav- iiration he has perfected a plan by which he can transport passengers and mails from Washington to New York in three hours. AH he now requires is money. Sheridan. An exchange says that the reason Sheri !an is hated with uch bitterness, is: that his father is a Union Irishman, and not ashamed to work. Wer Sheridan's progenitor a lazy Virginian, who had lost a few O toothless "chatties" by the war, De- inocraey would treat him with great tenderness. a Fkexcii Cleanliness. Iu Eng. land there are few men or women of respectability who do not use water as an element of cleanliness, and for its own sake few, except the lowest laborers, perhaps, who do not syste matically take a bath; while, in Prance, to take a bath implies being dirty, and is only resorted to when scrubbing is necessary. Grass Valley Union. Bat a few weeks ago the Chronicle doubted the existence of a live Democratic sheet in California known as the Grass Valley Union. Indeed, it seemed to taunt us with prevaricating, when we quoted from such. Last week the Chronicle quotes from the same paper. Strange isn't it; that a Cop perhead sheet should be named Un ivn? Axvswg Scandal. One of those amusing high life scandals, in which whiskers grow into ramors, and sus O picions into assertions, has lately come off in Washington Territory. Jud:;e Darwin was on the bill as the beropthe wife of Collector Wilson the heorine, and Judge Wyche acted n advocate. Nobody got a divorce but it is the general impression Darwin should receive a coat of tar uiP feathers. He has a family in ' the States." J)kfective Warks.- -A scientific iotirnal nnnounces that there is 0 44 shdily in glass as well as in cloth," nnd that the brittleness of lamp chimneys, so generally complained .f, is owing to the fact that a great many manufacturers have substituted the use of silicate of lime for silicate of lead. A saving of fifteen cents per dozen is thus effected, at a great cost and greater annoyance to their customers. Mexican Affairs. Every day Lrings more misery, more murder, in itg news from Mexico. Escobtdo li the Eyalit of the new licign of Terror, and, like. the infamous Duke of Orleans, he may well beware lest his atrocities recoil on him. Become ft candidate lor the Presidency, he aims at riding to power on the policy of "death to foreigners." In this " sister republic," which owes its re vivification to our hand alone, the (Jrtieral of the Army dares to de clare: "I an. now in favor of makinfr clean work of thedetested 'Gringos;' and again, " My motto uow is, death to all eitranyros:' The time will come, says this mad General, when ' Yankee notables will be begging for their own heads, instead of that of the Austrian." Should these allipty threats mature to acts, it will be the knell cf doom for E-ccbedo and his crew. Senator Williams ox Recon struction. Before taking his depar ture for Washington, Senator Wil. Hams delivered a speech on the sub ject of reconstruction, at Portland, wiich is literally unanswerable. The Oregonian says some cf the Demo, crats are garbling the statements made by Senator Williams, and then ndds: An ! itA 1 . I,!., 1 ...v., ii . i if I ..' J same one wbo lately sent a challei h Williams gets a hearing in a democratic paper to criiieise thp Senator's speech because he (the Senator) says that " Congress claims that the Constitution means by the 4 United States,' the- Legislative De partment of the Government." Now, if this critic had been honest enough to quote the context, he could have got on with his case without so much trouble as he has needlessly given himself. Every person knows that by the word " Government" the whole body of constituted authority is meant. Senator Williams did not asst:rt. and would not be so absurd I flM to 51Sprt !A n in..ri).0 rr-.r..-.cif .-.. as to assert a-, a separatp proposition, that (Jongress is the Government. But he was considering that clause of the Constitution which declares that " the United States shall guarantee to each State a Republican form of Government," and asserted that by the words 41 United States'' in this clause, the Legislative Department of the Government is meant. The Constitution lays particular duties upon each branch ot uovei ntnent, 5 . f .. tt ' and the duty of guarantee!!.-: a Re- , publican form of Government to j each State is laid upon ihe Legisla- j tive Department. Ihis, o tn i V ' I Will iams proved irrefragably by an authority which no Democrat can question. Chief Justice Taney. Overland Mail.

The Pay- master General a'lejies that the de l av in settlement of bounty claims is causfcl by the necessity of waiting for the rer ort of the Second Auditor. A statement was some time since pub lishtd showing that the Paymaster General had, up to the middle of June, received 40'J,OcO applications for additional bounty.

Rationalism, which in some in some ' i parts of Europe is undermining the, entire superstructure of faith, is de-i nounced.

Mr. Iloyt having resigned the Marshalship of Portland, Mr. E. Jacobi was elected by the Common Council to fill his place. The Oregonian says he has always been a strenuous Republican and has uniformly voted with that party. He is a Republican still, and therefore bisection, under the cir. cumsiances, is a oetier resun man e coulu nave aiuicipaieu. " Ocr. Mongolian Fhiends.

This Fair was held on the Society's grounds near Hillsboro last week, and lasted four days. The congregation of people was large on Thursday and Friday. The exhibition of stock and farm products was limited in quantity, but excellent in quality, says the Oregonian. The racing in" harness and under the saddle, was equal to anything heretofore done in the State. The grounds are well selected, and the track is exeel- lent. This is the first fair held in the A - T ? i I . . 1 . . x , 1 ? county, and it is less than ten monlhssince the ground was purchased. The whole Post of the site :in.t nnspnf. imnroveruent was about $3,500. The people of Wash ington county are entitled to great credit for the energy and liberality they have displayed on this occasion, and we hope that with each succeeding year, their Fanners Gathering may grow in numbers and inercas" in interest and profit. The capable and obliging Secretary of the So ciety, Cant. J. I). Merryman, worked hard to make the enterprise a success, and de serves a vote of thanks. The Chief Mar shal, Charles Ball, and in fact all the offi cers of the Society, devoted themselves to the comfort and convenience of the pat rons of the Fair. The Fair ended with a parade of the premium animals. Although not so extensive as it might have been, very good half blood Durhanis, belonging to Messrs. Lewelling & Mills, and some full blooded Essex hogs, belonging to the same gentlemen, wore on exhibition, which would do credit to any place, one yearling boar weighing 300 pounds three weeks after being taken from the pasture. Also some pigs, said to beti cross between the Essex and Suffolk stock, owned by 15. C. Stewart, did very well. The sheep de partment was well filled, by Messrs. Lew elling A Mills, and Naylor. with Spanish. French and American Me.rinos, together with some very fine graded bloods. In the pavilion the vegetable, fruit and me chanical departments were well filled, but space and time will not allow me to par ticularize. In the ladies department every thing was beyond criticism and comment, unless by some more competent judge than vour hJmhU .rv.,nt. in fact it" is my candid belief that had not the ladies cori- tribtited their handiwork and smiling faces to the adorning of the pavilion, it would , i . v- nave oeeu a tame anair. .mi intoxicating j liquors were allowed within the grounds, nlthough the society might have realized considerable by licensing liquor sellers. Taking everything info consideration the county has no reason for being ashamed of what you might term their first annual fair. Wasco Coi xtt Fair. The fair of the Wasco County Agricultural Soeietybe gan 0 Thursday of last week. The ifoun taineer says of it : The interest manifest ed by our citizens far exceeds that of lat year and it was a perfect success. J he display of fruit will far surpass anything of the kind they can raise in the Willam ette valley, both for size and richness of flavor. Elder Fisher, of Three .Mile Creek.' presented foecompetition several varieties of pears and apples, that made one's mouth water to look at. Messrs. Bolton and Kice had samples of fruit which command ed marked attention. Mr. W. Taylor, of Hock land, had a fine lot of grapes, which tempted the ndmirit g spectator-!. We arc sorry to say there was a very limited sup ply of cereal. Mr. Force, of Rockland. had the finest sample of Indian corn per- ! haps over grown in Oregon. The most in- I terest manifested, appeared to be in stock i ami stock-raising. Mr. I'. T. Wallace and ! Mr. T. M.

It made of 3.2 10 nieces, and the Misses t 'ampoel is 01 uus citv. exhibited some beautiful specimens or crotchet work tn the shape of tidies, etc. We have omitted a large number of articles, not having the time to make a more letighty report."'

Herald. thus alludes to the falls of the Yellowstone: ' a party of gentlemen contemplate a visit, sometime during the present month, to the wonderful falls of the Yellowstone where, it is said on good authority, the whole volume of the Yellowstone is pre cipitated over a precipice sixteen hundred feet high, and loses itself in a lake twenty-, five or thirty miles in circumference, which contains an island of several hundred acres area that is covered. with boil ingsprings."

He will sojourn here several davs. and his visit will be the occasion of very interesting ceremonies in the Catho lic church, where he will officiate at a num ber of confirmations tomorrow. . This ven erable priest, now seventy-two years of age. has been a resident of Oregon since ls;St at which time he was a missionary among the Indian, and remembers when the site of the city of Portland was oceu- pied by a small Indian village. A Farming Ueuion. -We learn from a letter in the Mountaineer that all along the valley of the John Day are some very line looking farms, the soil produces well, farmers harvesting the present year from sixty to seventy bushels of oats, and from thirty-live to forty-five bushels of wheat per acre. Some of the farmers have be gun threshing. The entire grain crop or this valley is estimated at about fifteen hundred thousand pounds. This will find a ready market on the farms where raised, at not less than five cents per pound. Salem Directory.

We are informed that the fruit in this part of the State is not generally ! ripening good now, owing to the Us hot we? ber. TEMSTtiltAlPllIC VEAVS. We take the following telegraphic news from dispatches to the Uregon'uin. A Florence dispatch of the 25th says : When the news of Garibaldi's arrest be came known, partisans in this city were greatly exasperated, appearing in the streets in crowds, and made turbulent de monstrations of sympathy for their leader. These manifestations developed into a riot. Garibaldi has written a letter, in which he says : " Romans have the right of all slaves to rise up against their oppressors. It is the duty of Italians to help thorn in the struggle for liberty. The hopes of her fellow patriots are not to be discouraged by the first reverse."' lie exhorts them to reorganize and inarch again for the liber ation of Rome. The letter concludes with an appeal to lite liberal party of Italy, de claring that the eyes of the world are turned on them. The nations of the earth anxiously await their action in the present crisis. The Washington Chronicle contains a long article about the Maryland militia. Four thousand are already organized at Ualtimore. The total paid militia of the State is probably 10.00s). The cost ofthe armory is about half a million of dollars. Much of this force is composed of returned rebel soldiers. Notwithstanding the Gov ernment has a vast quantity of muskets good enough for till ordinary purposes of State Militia, these men are supplied with new Springfield arms. A large portion of the officers are either returned rebels or Johnson Democrats. Loyal men do not believe the force is being raised for good purposes. The rumor has been started again that the North American Steamship Company are going on to the Panama route to run against the P. M. -. S. Co. The particu lars given for several of these rumors at present is. that the YcaJa. the fastest ship of the North American Steamship Co eastern line, is about to be-sent to this Coast, and the Xt-rashi. a companion, is expected to leave New York for San Fran eiseo early in 1(18. The Ore'innUtn was recently pnrehased by Mr. Webb, the i resident 01 tne orin American hteitni- ship Company, on his own account, having been altered so as to improve her tteco!.r- modalions fur passengers. It is rumored I hat she also will take a place on the new line. The rumor is considered reliable. A serious conflict has arisen between the N-vy Department and the Judicial au thorities.

In some sections the grain is feared to be wceviled. A Revenue Inspector lately returned from a tyur in the West and South-west, reports that the tobacco frauds are scarcely inferior to the whisky frauds. He has dis covered frauds to the extent of over half a million of dollars. Gen. Monroe has modified the jury order for Texas, rendering it practicable to ob tain juries iu that State. .Juries will be drawn from those registered, and no oath will be required except that taken at registration. Judge Underwood and District Attorney Chandler express the conviction that stif'i cient testimony can be produced to con vict Davis. The friends of Davis assert that he is willing for a trial. Intelligence has been received from Dover of such a nature as to lead to fears of attack on that place by Fenians. Arms have been sent am precautions taken against the attack. Orders are now coming to the United States lor the purchase of wheat for the Spanish market by royal order. Wheat will be admitted into Spauisli ports until the last of December. At Dublin, fears are entertained that the Fenians, emboldened by their success at Manchester, will attempt to release Capt. .Moi'iany. now undergoing sentence of itn- piisonmcnt.

Fvterprise OrriCE, r. f Orczou City, Oct. 4th, 1367. No change in the prices here are advised this week, although we are pretty certain that there ebonld be. In reviewing the markets to-day we shall quote considerably from our latest files of California papers. The Mercantile (JazHte ofthe ISth says : The general industry of the State is very satisfactory. The mines arc producing largely, the crops are abundant, manufac turing industry prosperously on the in crease, and the stocks of goods paid for are large. There is also an abundance of cir culating medium, which promotes activity in interchange of commodities. The measure of the State prosperity is certainly its surplus products for export, and these are larger than ever before, and at remu nerative rates. The aggregate of merchan dise exports is $1 4.4O.MJ00, or more than $3,000,000 in excess of last year. The ex port of specie on mercantile account is however, less. The produce and specie together are somewhat more than last year. If the State has so much more to sell, it is, of course, so much more pros perous. The California Farmer, which may be considered good authority on this point, says : The latest news from Chile argues favor able. Trices ruling there are above our market rates. Advices from Europe are, that Russia has no surplus ; and the latest news from the East, not made public, are to the effect that there crops are below in yield what was expected. This news will tend to a further advance in prices here. There is an impression ruling that our sur plus is less than was expected, and that our crops have beeu over-e!imated. The late advance in prices, and the large I amount bought in the country that has ! been pouring in for the last week, we do not cou-ider an argument of an immense supply. The advance in prices has caused many to sell. In fact, the prices ruling since harvest, have been above what were I fxpected by the fanners, and there is no i '-'''S: the truth that these prices were sustained by competition. No one buyer controlled our market, and dictated prices. Farmers have been duped, and have suf fered too long, and are now profiting by experience dourly bought. Shipper' agea:s in lhe country are unable to palm on stories coineu in tins city, ol no ships, and a prospe. t of a speedy dec line. Farm ers are bringing their grain to market, and realizing a handsome profit on it. to the discomfiture of sneeulatinir simmers. Ti :i;l : t,,r tin. n.ist v.:n- o.- i,, I. ....

The Bulletin cf the 2: thr s .caking of the j Kite advance, s.iys : j The effect of the re rent advance in the ; price of wheat is still seen in the bountiful ; receipts.

It is the hioviiept cf ti.c.rtiiiity iu ih" i l-ngli.il end French h ti" viiich nvtn I to be. thus far, in a condition not widely ' dillercnt from what was the case last year, j Our last mail dates gave us the following ; summary : The Rnglish harvest was as- J sumed to be below an average, and the j future of prices depended upon supplies from abroad, la Southern Russia the crop was reported about the same as hist year. In Austria the crop is very abiindan., a:id , the result of the harvest in Ilung.try is : equally satisfactory. In (iailicia the crop ' has tuifered irom Hoods ami heavy storm, j We shall consecpieully receive targe sup- plies from gary mil Austria via the Danube and Trieste. In Prussia, the re sult. So far. does not appear to be unfavor able. As to France, the harvest h:is proved rather unsatisfactory ; nevertheless it is mentioned, we anticipate a large supply of wheat and flour from the United States. and it is in accordance with the extent of our imports of American produce that prices will decline on this .side' Thus. putting the most favorable construc- tion on the situation, the prices depend ! upon me supplies lioin the I nited S-ta'es. ; The crops of the Fast are undoubtedly good. but. as there is no old grain ia the country, the amount to be exported to Fngland will not be larjre. At the above j date, wheat in Liverpool was 13s. 8d.. and ! it is yet so reported by telegraph. The situation abroad seems not to be very dif ferent from what it was at this day last year. We have very little that is new to offer in comment for our home markets. Prices remain without material change.
