Saturday, December 14, 1867. qTIic .Situation, Speaking of matters about Wash ington City, " Occasional," the tal ented correspondent of the Philadel phia Press, says that Congress will in all probability, remain at its post froni(t,he 21 st of November, 1867, to the 4th of March, 18G9. The lines it laid down upon which to build liberal governments in the 'O South, after so much careful deliber ation, will certainly not bo abandbn- o od in the face of the extraordinary success of .reconstruction since the close of the last session; but if the still dissatisfied rebels, vrho in any other country would have been stripped of property and rights after tbclailure of their bloody conspiracy, and who, judged by their own confes sions when they surrendered, were ready for any fate if these men will Qionestly abandon their assaults upon Reconstruction they will find their truest friends amoDg the Radicals in Congress. The best way to under stand their dilemma '13 to realize the. iritcr folly of all such assaults. Some of them, for instance the Montgome ry (Ala.) Mail of the 17th of Octo ber, u prefer a military despotism to the rule of the negroes and the white adventurers from Massachusetts) Maine, and Ohio, as is the case of Tennessee under Brownlow," and threaten, in the language of the same paper, " that the South will never reconstruct the Government under the odious and oppressive military nets of the Radical Congress;"' and others, like the Charleston Mercury, cherish the dream of a grand reac tion in She North and West, by which the forty first Congress will be controlled by a Democratic major ity. The practical statesman will instantly eo the fatal folly of trust ing to either alternative. The case of Urownlow, in Tennessee, is an example which the Montgomery Jiail ought not to have quoted, be cause his experience shows that a State reconstructed on the Rcpubli can basis can defend itself with its own militia, and that as soon as other States are reorganized on the same plan they can adopt the same precau tions for protection. The army of the United States will be withdrawn from the whole South when recon struction is finished, unless, indeed, the rebels " prefer" to have it other wise. In that event, they alone will ha theufierers. And how is Con gress to be made Democratic with most of the reconstructed States vot s lng for the Republican candidate for President next year?0 Each House of -the present Congress is controlled by a three-fourths Republican nfajority; attd even if Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, and New Jersey were lost to the Republicans in 18G8, the forty first Congress would still be in the hands of the Radicals. There is, --indeed, a way to arrest and probably Qto annul reconstruction, and that i3 &y an appeal to arms; but, the South has had war enough. What, then, 13 to be gained by a frantic grappling with the inevitable? Nothing but yet severer punishment of the guilty; while, on the other hand, a frank and ihoncst acquiescence, confirmed hv 0;i , . kind treatment of the white and black Union men of the South, will secure not only the substantial pros. ferity of that South, but will invite the utmost magnanimity towards the 0 individuals who have proved them- -selves worthy of the confidence and forgiveness of their country. We have it from good authority says the Oregonian, that it is the in fection of the Oregon Central Com pany, (the one last organized) to make Portland the northern ter. minus, touch at Oregon City and Salem, crossing the Wfllametteat or near Albany, running from thence to Corvallis and Eugene City on the west side of the river, virtually ac commodating the whole valley as far as one route can. We give this statement as reported to us, the Company not having, so far as we are aware, made any official an nouncements. On Wednesday last Railroad men who were in Oregon City, stated that the material we have before referred to left the Atlantic sea-board for Portland on the 15th f August. The road will pass along Ufuff street, in this city, probably. How about those hats now, Crandall? The Register thinks that the lis tie trade between Lewis and Lake rivers, and Vancouver, would justify the putting on of a steamer. From our knowledge of the region we agree with our neighbor, for, at least three years ago, those people were asking for such benefits, and ready to sustain thcin7) Put h steamboat anywhere on uch navigable waters in Orrgon, or Washinon territory, and if there is nothing whatever to do, regular trips 1 soon lauke business. Protection to Home Industry. Necessity, which has been called the tyrant's plea, was the only justifi cation when the industry and capital of the United States were called on to contribute, in a direct manner, to the cost of the late war, for sub jecting them to a tax of five per cent, upon the manufactures produced. In a manner, our native industry and enterprise have to contend with the pauperized labor of Europe. In the cotton factories and woollen mills of England and Belgium the wages are almost down to the starvation point. In England, the number of pauper ized laborers is so great that the on ly way to keep them from famishing is to employ them upon what is called " short time," which means on ly half instead of tbo whole day. In Belgium labor is paid yet lower, but the work-people there are brought up to living upon coarse food. The time has come, political economists tell us, when a reduction of taxes cught to take place, and the cotton and wool len manufactures think that they should be relieved from the 5 per cent tax upon their completed fabrics, and from the 2r per cent, upon na tive cotton. It is very apparent that these manufacturers make out such a strong case that Congress, at any rate can scarcely refuse to consider it, if indeed the tax has not been by this time formally repealed. Last week it was shown that the House had passed the bill by a large vote. Tho anomaly of taxing the raw ma terial ol native cotton manufactures and of allowing England, Belgium, France, and Switzerland to have American cotton duty free, cannot any longer be permitted to impede the employment of American capital by the exercise of American industry and enterprise. Five and thirty years ago, when the late Lord Al thorp was Finance Minister of Eng land and in want (as such officials us ually are) of increased public rev enue, he put into his Budget a prop osition to impose a tax of two cents per pound upon all imports of raw cotton, which really meant on cotton brought to England from America, which then had nearly a monopoly in producing and supplying that raw ma terial. At once, as if by general con sent, arose a howl of indignant oppo sition from the cotton spinners and cotton manufacturers of England. These worthies declared that if they had to pay a tax upon American cotton it would so far increase the selling prices of cotton manufactures as to make it worth while for Amer ican capitalists to enter largely into that trade, and undersell the British milKowners. So, in order to pre vent our capitalists from workiog up our own cotton, which would neces sarily interfere with the English man ufacturers, the proposed tax of two cents per pound upon imported cot ton was not levied, and England went on, as before, supplying " all the world and the rest of mankiud" with fabrics manufactured out of American cotton ! Ol late years, the home manufacture of cotton and woollen textile fabrics has largely increased in the United States, whereby a channel was opened for the employment of capital and labor. Cotton, largely produced here, formerly was taken several thousand miles across the Atlantic, worked up by foreigners for their own profit, and returned to these shores in a manufactured state. In stead of encouraging the recent ef forts to manufacture cotton without the cost and delay of two Atlantic voyages, it pleased Congress to tax the cotton manufactures of the Uni ted States, and also to tax the raw material. It is against this, against the virtual encouragement of foreign manufactures, to the detriment of our own, that those interested in the pro cesses of production now complain, and ask to be placed on the same footing and to be treated with the favor a3 is shown to foreigners. They do not wish to make a tariff question, but only ask to be allowed to appear iu the arena of competition without fetters upon their enterprise and capital. In ancient times, in England, the country from which we draw our na tional life, there was but one kind of property land. As a conse quence, there was nothing but real es tate law known. All laws were made to protect and defend this the sta pie property of the land. Within a few centuries personal property has grown up until it overshadows the other, and now'as personal estate is the bulk of the wealth of the realm, it monopolizes the bulk of the laws. The statutes of the legislatures, and the decisions of the courts are all framed to protect and develop this, in our day, the maiu wealth of the land. The Sacramento Record notes the receipt of dales by mail, 15 days from Washington City and IS days from Chesterlield, Mass. We lately received a letter from Providence, R. I.f via Sacramento, iu 2o days. Although Gold Bluff, proved a failure as an extensive source of profit it has ever yielded a fair income to individual enterprise. It is owned by General Wilson of San Francisco, and employs ten men and twenty mules: Every morning at low tide the beach is carefully prospected, and if at any point the gold stratum is exposed notice is at once given, and men and mules work incessantly at packing the auriferous sand to the shore, till the high tide sweeps over it, covering it with perhaps ten feet of Band, or sweeping away the gold dust to some unknown locality. Some seasons the profits are very handsome, at others hardly remunerative. The Oregon and Idaho Branch Railroad Company have filed their articles of Incorporation. They pro pose to construct a railroad from Portland up the Columbia river to Wallula, across the Blue Mountains, through the valleys of the Grand Ronde, Powder and Burnt rivers, in Oregon, thence through Idaho to a point of intersection with the Pacific Railroad. The capital stock propos ed is 825.000.000 and the incor porators are, J. J. Hoffman, J. C. Ainsworth, C. M. Carter, S. G. Reed, R. R.Thompson, Wm. Strong and B. Goldsmith. Tho P. T. Company held their annual meeting on Thursday, and elected Messrs. A. A. McCully, D. McCully, T. McF. Patton, E. N. Cooke and J. Kellogg, a Board of Directors for the ensuing year. At the meeting of the Directors elect. Asa A. McCully was elected Presi dent; T. McF. Patton, Vice Presi dent; S. T. Church, Secretary, and George Marshall, Chief Engineer. A certain well known Editor of this State, who but recently said that " if it was Democracy to oppose such a moral reform association as the Good Templars, then he was no Democrat," has been persuaded by pretended friends to leave the Order, for political reasons, and now, we have good authority for saying, goes to bed drunk often. A magnificent Hudson's Bay sable cape and cuffs, aud a Siberian squirrel cape, will be raffled for at the saloon of C. A. Burchardt, in Portland, as soon as 150 tickets are disposed of at 5 each. The highest throw is entitled to the first choice the lowest the second. That's fair. If the Portland capitalists do anything practicable in the railroad movement, now agitating Oregonians, we will give them credit for having at last opened their eyes to something besides purely self and will try to forget the remains of destroyed en terprises which went to grass for the want of such encouragement by them. The new schooner Alaska, from San Juan Island, with limestone for Oswego, has just paid our waters a visit. Her commander reports neg lect by the bar pilots which should be investigated. If tonnage is to driven away from Oregon, by gross conduct on the part of anyone, the sooner a remedy is provided the better. The Territory of Montana has three published reports of her re sources by geologists, which is sent free to all who are inquiring of that region.

Tha late election in Virginia, which settles the question in favor of calling a convention to frame the corstitution for a republican form of goverment, decides the destiny of the Old Dominion. Like Alabama, Lousiana, Arkauea3, Florida, Missis sippi, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina, Virginia will soon be thorougly reconstructed, and in six months these nine States will be ad mitted into Congress with republican constitutions. Texas will be the pos sible exception. The Montana papers are discuss ing the question of organizing that Territory into a State and asking its admission into the Union. The sub ject is looked at by the press from different points of view, and we have arguments in favor of and against the measure. Ask your neighbor to subscribe for the ENTsnrrusr:.

Among them were enumerated prominently those of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The only evidence and defence of liberty is the ballot-box. Hence the elective franchise becomes a rig hi, not a privilege. So stood mat ters ic 1776. The Constitution of 1789 was a compromise a conces sion made for the sake of Union, was a necessity, in face of the enmity of Europe. Uuion could only be had by a temporary suspension, as far as the slave -holding States were con. cerned, of the principles of the Con stitution. Now, by the rebellion the act of the States in whose inter ests tbo doubtful compromise was made that bargain of 1789 is bro ken, and we are no longer under ob ligations to enforce, in behalf of the insurgent communities, a wrong- against humanity. "California Flour" from Ore gon. The Oregon City Enterprise says: "It is amusing sometimes to witness the arts employed by Califor nia people generally, to hide the fact of the superiority of the Oregon brands of flour over the best brands there." We venture to say to our neighbor that it is not the people of California who manifest that mean illiberalitv but the jealous, narrow-minded local' press of San Francisco, who think it neessary to eat dirt for wealthy classes of t hat city, and who are sufficient ly deppised for their servility.
