Frank Leslies Illustrated News paper is becoming rather '"trashy." Beriah says he stauds for Jus lice. This is very doubtful; as he rejoices at the acquittal of Andrew Johnson. The richest Joke of the season is old Davidson's despatch from Andy. The old fool went perfectly wild about it. -The Signal says that lion. J. V. Nesraith has been elected as one of the directors of the O. C. II. II. Company. The totul cumber of human be ings or. earth is computed at 3,000,- OOO'OO, and they speak 3,001 known tongues. o Gen. John Did well, the wealthy land owner of Uutte comity, Califor n a, lead Miss Annie E. Kennedy, of Washington City, to the Ilymenial altar on the 10th of April. The Oregon and Idaho telegraph line went in working order to the Italics on Saturday last. This en terprise is due to the energy of the N. Co., chiefly. Ernest Ronan has just published -a volume on the philosophy of politics, which is calculated to create in the political world as much sensation as his essays on the philosophy of relig con created in religious circles. The Ouk Point fisheries of Nice & Recti have this year been more Micccssful than in former years. A GYriend informs us that from 5,000 to 8,000 barrels offish will bo put up during the season of 1808. q Portland has been in a bad way since the election. Its hod a severe attack of " Democracy". That's what's the matter with Portland; but it will woik off by the first of No vember, when a doso of Grant and Colfax will set it on its pins again. q -Fttirfieid and Charnpocg precincts in Marion county gave large demo- ratic majorities. This is accounted fur by file fact that all the half breeds voted the democratic ticket, in favor of a white man's government. Will not some of our copperhead editors or orators tell us why it is that "In dians, half-breeds, and ignorant are so much exercised about "nigger equality." Day by day, and almost hour by hour, is the distance in lime be tvcen the eastern and western bounds of the continent being diminished. It is now almost a certainty that be fore the allotted lirac in 1870 the cars will be running over a continue nua rail from, New Yoik to San IVancisco. But eight days staging remains now. Mss Harriet Homer's superb Lror.ze statue of Colonel Benton has been lying boxed up for four years, ii an old tobacco warehouse in St. Louis, neglected, because no suitable place could be obtained for its erec tion. Lafayette Park, the only spot in St. Louis on which it could be properly displayed, has been secured, atrjast, fur the purpose. q The Unionist says that Hon. John Minto brought to town a few days ago, the best lot of wool ever produced in Oregon. It was fine Merino, put up in good condition, and will challenge comparison with any clip ever housed in the State. GThc total weight was 1300 pounds; and the heaviest fleece in the lot weighed nineteen pounds. M. A. Stratton & Co. were the purchasers, nntP the price eighteen cents per pound. They ship it to Lozan EreresPSan l'rancisco. Wc think it not very creditable to our Oregon 0 manufacturing enterprise that such a superior lot of home produced wool should be allowed to pass by all our factories, to swell the sljle and credit of California establishments. It will no doubt come back to us ia the form of " Superior Cassimere" of Califor nia make, while our factories will continue to import coarse Mexican :ud half-breed wool from California to work into fabrics for our own con EumptLon. When snch a valuable taple is produced by Oregon Farm ers, Oregon manufacturers ought to buy and use it. To do bo will profit themselves as well 33 enrich the State. That lot of wool will bring f'fl'J fivc atl(3 sixty cents a pound in New York or Boston. Our manufac turers let foreign buyers take it at eighteen, cents. Shall wc wonder beieaficr that Oregon fabrics are be low par in the market. A JUEMOC11ATIC TRIUMPH AVIIAT IS ITi The so-called Democratic party of Oregon has carried the election in n majority of the counties in the State. Jo. Smith is elected to Congress, and our State Legislature is largely Democratic 1 3 there a man in Ore gon, or any where else, who can tell us what this triumph means? Do those Union men who have assisted in bringing about the " defeat of the Union party, know what they have been in favor of? Has any Demo cratic speaker, or writer, told the peo ple what they propose to do? Is there anything in the platform of the party in this State which indicates an affir mative policy on any of the real is sues now before the people? In short, do the people really know what modern Democracy is ? Democratic speakers raid writers have not hesitated to tell the people that they are opposed to " negro equality," " negro suffrage," and a " bonded aristocracy," but they have not told them how they propose to avert this long catalogue of imagina ry evils. We believe that thousands of men in Oregon have voted the Democratic ticket, under the impres sion that they were simply voting Rgainst certain abuses, and temporal ry errors of the Union party. The statement has been made and con-; stantly adhered to, by Democratic1 leaders that the Union party is com. milted in favor of negro suffrage in all the States, and some Union men have been induced to believe it and have voted with the Democracy" to avert the imaginary terrors of ne erro suffrage. The ; Democracy" have acted upon the plan suggested in the Albany Democrat that a "lie well told, and constantly adhered to, is as good as the truth,"., and the re sult of the election seems to justify the assumption. The magical name of" Democracy" has been used to collect together ev cry dement of opposition under the war cry of " nigger" and " bonds!" But let us see if we can ascertain what is ttie controlling element of the Democratic party. If we can, we vill be able to form some idea of its affirmative policy. The controlling idea of the party was frankly related by Mr. II. W. Vaughn, a Democrat ic candidate for the Legislature, in one of his speeches in the late can. vass in this county. When pressed for an exposition of the affirmative policy of the Democratic party, he said : " I will tell you what wo propose to do. We propose to turn nil re publicans out of office, and put Dem ocrats in their places !'' In this statement we find an ad mission that the controlling idea of the Democratic party is a determina tion to get into office. The truth is the species are hungry, and the desire for office is the "ruling passion, strong in death." But if we will carefully study the history of the Democratic party du ring the last seven years, and find out who are its pi t sent recognized lea dcrs, we shall find that the control- ing element of the party is made up of that class of men who either open ly favored secession, or secretly con nived at it, who opposed coercion, used every effort to make the war what they declared it to be a fail ure, who rejoiced at our defeats, and mourned over our triumphs, who laughed at our calamities, and sneered at our success. We shall find that its organization is control led by secessionists ; and every man who has voted the Democratic ticket, has cast a vote which is interpreted to mean an endorsement of all the party has done, as well as all it has refused to do. The leaders of the party know that the uegro equality war cry is all a humbug, used merely to secure votes, and put Democrats in office. Their object is to roll back the tide of civ iliz ition as much as possible. They have opposed every step, and will undo all wc have done, so far as it shall be in their power. There can be no doubt that the ultimate object of Democratic leaders, is the restora tion of slavery, and the repudiation of the national debt. In this county, those objects were very poorly disguised. They sigh for the good old days when the froth ing hound was on the fugitive's track; when girls with blue eyes, and flaxen hair, in whose veins there yet linger ed the slightest trace of African blood, were sold at the auction block to the highest bidder. To accomplish these objects they scruple at nothing. In Ohio they have disfranchised all disabled sol diers in kcspitals, and all students in colleges, simply because they know such men never vote the Democratic ticket. We have no argument with men who arc naturally and instinctively secessionists ; their proper place is in the Democratic party, but to all Union men we say: Come out from among them !.-.. -. - - r- ; ; 1 .

Powell (Union) is elected pros ecuting Attorney in the 2d District. Kelsay (Union) is elected Judge in the same. In Washington county Logan has a majority of 147. The majori ties for the Union County Ticket range from ISO lowest, to 232 high est. Col. Cornelius recieved 170 majority for joint Senator. We are not disposed to put on a long face, and whine at the result. For our own part, we did the best we knew for success and while wc are not given to complaining of neg lect of others, we may be allowed to suggest that a more liberal circula-. tion of Campaign Documents would surely have changed the result. The Oregon Herald has been sent to nearly every voter in this county for eight or ten weeks past, at a mere nominal cost; and where a man re fused to pay for it has had it forced to his address gratis. Say what you will that is where the Democracy made their gains. We trust that the lessons of the past will have a salutary effect on our party in the future. The Record of Monday, says: The whole of .Friday was occupied by Judge Boise at Chambers in hear ing the argument of Messrs Gibbs, Hill and Whitson, cn the application of which we made mention Saturday, ostensibly on the part of the State of Oregon, but really on the part of the west side Railroad Company, for leave to bring an action in the nature of a quo warranto against tho Oregon Central Hail road Company. The argument on the part of the Company was to commence Saturday morning. When the court then came together, however, the proceedings was termin. ated rather abruptly by the presenta tion of an affidavit by Mr. Mitchell showing that the same questions were now under consideration by Judge Upton in a case pending before him. Judge Boise thereupon declined to giant leave to bring another action while one involving the same ques tions was pending in another court. So Mr. Gaston goes out of court again. It is unfortunate that any great public enterprise should be em barrassed end annoyed by a series of petty law suits such as have been in augurated during the past year against the Oregon Central Hail road Company. The public who are deeply interested will be relieved to know that they have all proved harmless. The great enterprise is still progressing. About one hun dred aDd sixty men are at work, and I the contractors disbursing theirmonev at tne rate of over live hundred dol lars per day. This is an annoyance to the enemies of the road, but thev fortunately cannot bring any Jaw-suft i that can stop or hinder it. TELECiltAPIHC SEWS. We take the following telegraphic news from dispatches to the Ore-janutn. The revenue of the Mexican Re public for the corning year is estima ted at $18,000,000. M'Clellan's nomination asMin ister to England was not confirmed by the Senate. The Mexican army is to be re organized, to consist of four divisions, of 4,000 men each. Romero was at Havana on the 0th, destined to the United States to arrange a scheme to defraud Ameri can holders of Mexican bonds. The Oakland California, ferry boat, El Capitan, was launched on the 4th. She is 220 feet long, and cost 6130,000. A cavern or grotto, said to ri val the Mammoth Cave of Kentucky, has been discovered twenty miles north of Ottawa, Wisconsin. The California Anchor Company has incorporated to manufacture pat ent anchors in San Francisco. Capi tal 000,000. The Grand Army of the Re public, on Sunday, performed the im posing ceremony of decorating the graves of Union soldiers at Lone Mountain. The Pope has sent an agent to the United States to enlist troops for the Papal army. Garibaldi has written several earnest letters to his friends and to the authorities in Amer ica, entreating them in behalf of the liberal party in Italy, to discourage this project. The Philadelphia Board of trade have reported at length upon several very important demands of com merce upon Congress. Among them are enumerated: The improvement of the commu nications between the Pacific and At lantic, by canal or railroad across the Isthmus or Central America, such works to be tronstiucted solely ou the national account; The removal of all obstructions to the free passage of the largest vessels from Lake Superior to L'ike Ontario; The. improvement by national or international appropriations, of all the outlets of the Mississippi Valley ; The removal of all obstacles to the navigation of the Mississippi and its tributaries ; The subvertion of steam lines for postal and commercial communica tions between New Orleans and the ports of Mexico, Central and Soutn America ; Further government aid to the Kansas Pacific Railroad throughNcw Mexico and Arizona ; Putting the whi.-key tax down to 50 cents on the gallon. A resolution was referred to the Executive Council, providing fur ihe uui versa and s multaneous adoption of the cental svstem cf weights and measures on the 1st of Auirust ne.t. Pass Him A hound. The success of the democracy has been too much for the prudence of some members of the Jones family. There is a fellow named Tom Hook, living in Marion county, who so far forgot himself as to give vent to his " pheelinka" in this wise : " I believe that the assassination of Lincoln was a justifiable act, and I would be proud to vote for Wi kes Boothe, or Jeff. Davis for President of the United States.'' This same man was once in the Union army, but says it is the only act of his life that he is ashamed of, and that he never shot at a southern man, and would not have done so if he had been called into action. Of course he votes the Democratic tick et ; such men always do. The. Republican party neglected to hang the leaders in tho rebellion, and now sulFl-r for it themselves They refused to pass a registry law in Oregon ; thus allowing treason to get the State from ns at the late elec tion There is nothing to lose by doing right. And, had the party not failed in such respects, Beriah Brown the Oregon Herald and De mocracy, would have been tosday unknown. The Orcgonian " takes pleasure" in referring the Lafayette Courier as "just tho thing to suit" an Illinois man who is seeking information re specting the healthfulness of Oregon, and as calculated to give a descrip tion of this region. We Know of nothing more calculated to disgust an immigrant with respect to those things, than to present him with a copy of the Courier. Sometimes a good citizen cannot spell April with out an c. The Corvallis Gazette, Jackson ville Sentinel, Eugene Guard and Journal, Salem Record, Oregonian, Herald, and Bulletin, all speak in praise of the exhibitions of the Mc Ginley Family. It is seldom that a Troup of performers come so well recommended. The Gazette says; " This company consists of Mr. Mc Giuley, two daughters and a son, as- siMca oy Johnny Graham and Mr. Bell, violinist. Their performances are entirely free from vulgarisms Johnny Graham and Mr. McGinley are excellent delineators of negro character, while Miss Sarah, by her songs, and Master Bobby, by his dancing, never fail to bring down the house." The work upon the Central Railroad is progressing in a very sat isfactory manner says the Record of last Saturday. Grubbing and grad ing have been completed to a point some two miles above Milwaukie, all of which is ready for the laying of ties and rails, including a piece of heavy trestle work near Milwaukie, COO feet in length. About 150 men are kept constantly at work. A first class saw-mill is being construct ed cn the route, about two miles from Portland, on the land of Mr. Tibbetts. Logs to make half a million feet of lumber are already cut nearby it. In the same vicinity, the contractors have erected a car shop, 140 feet long by 3G wide; also a machine shop 30 by GO, in which there are already planers, saws, etc., for all kinds of wood work. The machine &hop for the manufacture ot iron work is not yet built, but the Compauy has, probably, a much better machine shop coming than any at present in Oregon. The in terest felt by the people of this valley in the enterprise is quite satisfactory to the Company. Now that the ex citement of the election is over, the matter will be thoroughly presented to all the counties on the line of the road. Friday morning Mr. Burrage, civil engineer, with a surveying party, commenced the location of the road from Salem, up Mill creek, towards Jefferson. The intention is to estab lish surveys ail the way to Eugene as soon as possible, and complete the grading as fast as possible. The Roscburg Ensign says: The internal wealth of our State is fast developing itself into a degree of magnitude that will in but a short time, compare favorably with any State in the Union. Not only are almost all kinds of manufacturing es tablishments in successful operation in our vallies, but the mountains too, are turning in their share of the in creased productions, in the rich ore and placer nuggets. Bohemia is opening out with good prospects of as rich a yield as even its n.ost san guine claim-holders had anticipated; there is already, and will continue to be a great rush for that locality; and nr dvubt many a " poor laborer" ! will grow licit from its auriferous j production. There is now being shipped from this place, for that j camp a largo Mitk of goods; Mr. C. i W. Fitch will soon have open a conveyancer and recordvrs office, in j which he will be prepared to transact all business which the miners of the district may stand in need of having done; their laws and regulations will j be enacted as soon as a sufficient ! number of officers can be present; and lhe work generally is being com menced in real earnest and we enter tain no doubts about the woiking of these mines, proving a great acces sion to the interests of our vallies in creating and maintaing a business which has hitherto been carried on in a district almost exclusively out of our reach and consequently benefit ing us but little. The General Agent of the North Western Insurance Company of a ar j Milwaukie. Wisconsin Mr. M. G. Elmore, and Mr. Oscar Kilbourn, Special Agent, gentlemen well known to many of our business men, are o i a visit to this city says the Unionist, for the purpose of introducing the company they represent. We have been shown a list of parties insured in this company, in Portland, to all of whom they refer, and among which, are the best business men in that city. With such references and upon the terms they propose to do business, we bespeak for them a corresponding de gree of success here. Mr. Shanahan has just returned to Portland bringing with him an ex tensive assortment of everything per taining to his line, including a large and beautiful assortment of carved brackets, albums, engravings, pic turcs, sheet mv.sic, picture frames and moulding?, etc., etc.; he has now another c f those beautiful stercoseop tic views of Oregon forty scenes in all representing the finest views of nature in the world. An hour or two may be profitably epent in ex amining these different articles of virtu? and art. Mr. Shanahan de serves success for his correct taste and perseverance. See advertisement. Messrs. Thomas Russell, and William Kalow, of Sibley county, Minnesota, have spent the last fort night in Benton and Lir.n counties, looking out a location for themselves and quite a number of other families. We need a few hundred such enter prising, energetic men, to till the now idle lands in our county says the Gazette. They were directed hither by a paragraph in the Gazette. The Commissioners of Multna mah county have purchased the " Stewart Farm" for the purpose of locating a poor house on it. The sum of 4,0u0 is said to have been paid for it. The Reason. - -Oregon is sow Democratic, but Missouri is intensely Union. W. S. Ladd Esq., the Portland banker and correspondent of the firm of A. E. & C. E. Tilton . 95 Liberty street New York City, has purchased a site and will erect a bank at Salem. His new Portland ' Bank of Oregon" will be as fine an edifice as any on the coast. An association to be known as the Merchants' Protective Associa tion has been started in San Fran cisco, having as its central object the protection of creditors against the fraudulent practices which are likely to obtain through the lax administra tion of tiie present Bankrupt Law. The Ifcrald sensibly denounces the emigration of 39 persons from Oregon to the Argentine Republic, and says: " It is scarcely possible to imagine anything more absurd than expeditions of this kind. After the history of Adam's emigration to Palestine, and of the emigration from the Southern States to Brazil, it will be safe to predict that in a year or eighteen months at farthest, after these people have landed in that South American country, they will be beseeching the United States Con sul to send them back. There is no use of fool hardiness or obstinacy in anything of this kind. They had much better, by a thousand-fold, re turn to their former homes, and con tinue to be good cit'zens of Oregon, instead of dropping down in the scale of humanity by taking up a residence among a half civilized people in South America."

In one of the schools in the Southern part of this county, the scholars held an election, and the result was IS Union votes were polled, against G Democratic.
