Indhmapolis has been obliged to decline the gift of a fine piece of land for a park, because its too poor too improve it. Texas is terribly infested with grasshoppers. Although the floods lrowned them by millions, a new brood more than fills the place of the 4d. Henry Kingsley says, in the in troduction to a new edition of Rob inion Crusoe, that the story is no ro mance at all, bnt merely an allegor ical account of DeEoe's own life. A New Jersey paper tells a big story to the effect that 150 bushels of seed " rose'' potatoes were lately bought by a farmer in that state for 836 a bushel, or nearly 810,000 for the whole. The Libby prison has been sold .-at auction.0 Like Sumter, it is being clipped to pieces by relic hunters. "Time is wreaking a savaga vengeance upon that spot of rebel torment and disgrace.

There are at present 20,000 per Kfjiis in Liverpool receiving relief, while the number of persons in the workhouse was 5,000 ; so that, taking the population at 230,000, these fig ures show that 1 in every 11 of tho population is a pauper. There tira killed oti the rail roads of Ohio during tho year 1SG7, 108 persons, 18 of whom were intox icated, and Go were either on the jack attempting to crossor attemp- ling to get on or oil the train while in motion. Moshier, in anticipation of be ing Judge, had his hair cut and dis- hoived his partnership connection with Lafayette Lane. Coos and Curry xnved him from farther expense in that direction. Col. Kelsay is elect ed by a handsome majority. Brick Pomeroy says of the late Methodist conference: "There is now in session in the city of Chicago, a nondescript, black and tan, rump radical, politico-religious mob, known ns the Quadrennial Conference of the MethodistChurch."

" MOST COWAKDLY OF CUIMES Assassination is fast becoming an unpleasant incident of American poli tics. We cannot avoid the fact. Within otdy three years the Chief Magistrate of our nation, a distin guished member of the House of Commons of the new Domiuioo, and hosts of Southern loyalists have paid with their lives the privilege of as serting their principles, and as yet it is omnious to think but in one case, perhaps, has there been any pun ishment meted out for this most cow ardly of crimes. As in the case of rebellion the attempted assassinas tion of liberty the great criminals go unhung. History teaches us that great crimes afflict a land all at once at. some one epoch, and certain it is that treason and political murder in our time have grown up together and gone hand in hand. To complete the fearful trio, usurpation rears its horrid front, and there arc not want ing those who endeavor to shield even it. The general safety of American civilization would seem now to re quire their prompt repression of crime at whatever cost. Jefferson Davis ; the assassins of D'Arcy M'Gee ; all the accessories to the death of Lin coin; Andrew Johnsn, the abortive usurper j the chiefs of the Kuklux Klan, and the murderers of the count less Union men who sleep in shroud less graves in Dixie of the Ash burns, Mau's, Zooks, Kings, and hun dreds of others who have disappeared in the yawning sephulchre of Seces sia must be brought to punishment. It is a necessity, and the crisis that demands it is not sectional, nor even national, but continental and histor ical. A. Rosenheim. Rosenheim, who has been accredited as holding the " balance of power " in the last Ore gon legislature, and the Council of Portland, was laid aside by the vo ters of that city on Monday last. The Oregonian says: In bidding a final farewell to Rosy, it would be our pride to do it, if pos sible, in such a maimer that he "would forever be touchcd by a recollection . j of it.'' " Nary nother time" shall we find him acting in his favorite ca pacity as a " balance of power." Nevermore shall anxious candidates be compelled to sue humbly for his support, and after receiving his prom ise thereof, fine themselves most wo fully sold. Nevermore, in all human probability, will ho be a " balance of I power in electing a United fetates j Senator. lie has bid a long farewell to all his greatness. Nevermore, as of yore, shall he swim on bladders in a sea ot glory. That pastime is at an end. With him, The wine of life is drawn, and the mere lees Are left the vault to brag of. The most gratifying spectacle in the world is to witness the deserved fate of a renegade. A man of no in tegrity or ability in any place he has been called to fill, it would have been an outrage had he been placed for another term of three years in the responsible position frr which he was a candidate. A clique sought to place him there that they might use him for their own purposes, and he and they have been foiled in that part of their programme. I his is satis faction enough for one day. -.The Enterprise thinks that th circulation of the campaign Herald ! injured the Union party in Ihe late canvass. We sliouid be sorry to think that any person of common in telligence who hnd ever been educat ed up to the standard of Republican ism, or had ever thought of voting the Republican ticket, could be in fiuenccd in the smallest degree by the feeble garrulity of Beriah. In our opinion the Enterprise is greatly iq error. Oregonian We tell you we are not. If there were no other papers in the country but Copperhead papers, the people would be copperheads. If you ex pect the people to undei stand the issues as they are fact! you must give them facts, otherwise, falsehoods unrefuted pass current at par. I the party propose to go to sleep in the next four months Oregon will go Democratic acain. The most shame less bare faced trickery of copper heads went undenied all through the State at the late election The disgraceful conduct of the Copperheads at Portland, on the oc casion of an election is causing con siderab'e remark. Respectable peo ple must submit to these seizures o the polls, if they neglect to take part in the management of their own af fairs, as Portland merchants and bus iness men have for a year or two past in respect to their mu nicipal elections When Henry Failing was first elect ed a reform was effected in Portland politics but the thing has gone a- drilt Again. In the House on June 13th, Lo ' cran cave notice that be would, on I the 15tb, move to suspend the rnles ' to offer a resolution authorizing the j appointment of commissioners to sc lect a site for the capitol of the Uni ted States, on account of the disre- card of law which the disloval ele. ment is showing in Washington with such bitterness towards loyal people, and disregard of the authority of the United States. REFLV TO CALCIIAS. " Tualatin, June 18th 156S. ExTF.nrEisB. En. A letter from Oregon City in the weekly Herald of ! to-day under the signature of" Calchas" refers'.in part to the manner in which the election in this place was conducted7 Whoev er this titled ignoramus may be, is not generally known here ; but the letter evidently bears the ear-marks of a disappointed office seeker who deserted the Republican parly be tween two days (the 7th and 8th of March) on account of a failure in get tiug the nomination for the office of , and who is no loss to the party and but little gain to the cop pcrheads, except the influence of his own vote. When a person is kicked by a jakas, the source from which it came is scarce worth considering, and were it not that he attempts to villify the judges of the election as well as my self personally, I would not conde scend to notice his mean, and coward ly attacks upon the judges of election throughout this county ; and I sup pose his statements in regard to the several precincts contains just as much truth as wherein he refers to this ; and that is just none al all. I am charged with having been allow ed to vote having been but two months in the State. I came to Ore gon in August 18G3 and have never been out of the State six consecutive months since ; neither have 1 ever been out of Clackamas county ninety consecutive days since October 1868, and yet I " was allowed to vote for the only reason that I voted a good Union ticket." Now I will just re verse the following sentence : Had I been a Democrat no one would ever have questioned my right to vote. Democrats would allow negroes, in. dians and chinamen to vote, provided such votes would sustain their party in power. But we can and must yet redeem Oregon from the thralldom of copperhcadism, and next Novem ber the Democratic party will follow the Lost Cause " with which it has been identified for the last six years. J. C. LONGWELL. In reply to the letter announcing his nomination at Chicago, General Grant says : In formally accepting the nomina tion of the National Union Republi can Convention of the 21st, it seems proper that some statement of my views, beyond the mere acceptance of the nomination, should be express ed. The proceedings of the Conven tion were marked with wisdom, mod eration and patriotism, and I believe express the feelings and greatness of those who sustained the country through its trials. I endorse the res olutions. If elected to the office of President of the United States, it will be my endeavor to administer all laws in good faith and with economy, and with a view to giving peace, quiet and protection everwhere. In times like the present it is impossible and improper to lay down a policy, to be adhered to right or wrong, through an administration of four years. New political issues, not forseen, are constantly arising. The views of the public are constantly changing. Purely adminiitrative officers should always be left to execute the will of the people, which I have always re spected and always shall. Peace and universal prosperity, its se quence, with economy of administra tion, will lighten the burden of taxa tion, while it constantly reduces the natioual debt. Let us have peace. Deseret News, of Salt Lnke City, says that the delays in the overland mail route were caused by storms. We think Indian storms. Unless the government remove their cornrais sioners, and send out. soldiers, such storms will occur in future quite too often. The Helena Gazette says : The " gayest fun" the " red rovers" have had, was the habit of running into the forts every few weeks to talk peace and become friendly, thus obtain plenty amunition and fire and lightning whiskey." , As soon as they could posess themselves of all they wanted, they would throw aside the peace talk and institute the rifle and bow in place of the peace pipe. Now that the upper posts are to be aband oned, our Lo neighbors will come ov er and be "more sociable." Hender son, Tappan and Sanborn will give them full rations as long as they car ry on a vigorous, successful war upon the whites, and turn over meir side trade to " our agents." out- Hamilton Boyd was elected Mayor of the city of Portland last Monday, by a majority of 3G4 votes over bis oponent, Capt. Wm. Dier dorff. The politics of Mr. Boyd is the only thing exceptionable with him, in our eyes. He has excellent business qualifications, and if he rules independently of partizan ties will make a good Mayor. Wa are sorry that Capt. DierdorfF was defeated be cause he is a good Republican, a gen tlemen, and a scholar. U. M. ljOCKwooa cc uo., nave been awarded the contract by the Postm36ter General for carrying the mails from Salt Lake city to the Dalles, via Boise city and Canyon city. The service will be a daily one. A warehouse is being erected on the river in Polk county about a mile above the Salem ferry landing for the accommodation of the fanner?. OKECO.V Butteville will celebrate on the 4th of July. The quartz mines of Jackson county arc paying handsomely this season. It is said that Hon. Asahel Bush will have charge of the Salem branch of the Bank of Oregon. The Sentinel refers to improve ments going on about Dallas. The academy grounds are being fenced. The county seat of Baker county was changed at the late election, by a vote of the people, to Baker City. The Eugene Journal is glad that we have saved the Judiciary of the State from the Confederates. The majority for Kelsay for Judge in the Second District is 30. Coos and Curry give him 1 12 ma jority. Hons. J. II. Mitchell and Lans ing Stout will deliver addresses this week at several places in Lane county on the subject of railroads. The Congregational Association of Oregon this year, held its Annual Meeting at Forest Grove beginning on Tnursday, June IS, 1SGS. The citizens of Eola, Polk coun ty, will celebrate the Fourth in be coming style. Hon. P. C. Sullivan and Benjamin Hay den will orate. We learn that Dr. Plummer of Albany, has been tendered and" ac cepted, the Chair of Chemistry, in the Medical Department of the Wil lamette University. Capt. Flavel is laying the foun dation of a hotel at Astoria upon which he will immediately erect a building suitable in every respect for the wants of the public. N. J. Marshall one of a party engaged in cuttiug a trail from Oak land, Douglas county, to the Bohemia mines, was instantly killed on the 3d inst., by the falling of a tree. De ceased was a resident of Oakland. The remains of Mrs. Denoille have been found by the scouts under Hicks. It appears that the Indians dragged her about half a mile from the spot where they killed her hus band, Sergeant Denoille, and then dashed her brains out. It is said that Calvin B. Mc Donald has yielded the tripod of the Unionist to its original projector W. A. McPherson Esq. The latter has been a contributor through the last campaign, from tho beginning to the ending of the same. McCraken, Merrill & Co., call the atteutioa of the public to the stone-ware manufactured by the Buena Vista, Polk county, pottery firm of Smith & Co. It has no pois onous acids in its glazing. It is equal in quality to the best eastern ware, aud is sold informly low to the trade. Last week the Indians made a raid on Susanvillo and drove off 12 horses. A party went in pursuit and killed three, but lost one of their number, John Belknap, who was shot dead by the Indians. It is re ported that seven of Johu Creigh ton's teams were taken and three of his teamsters killed. Hon. J. II. Douthitt thus ad dresses the Albany Democrat on the subject of the Railroad. "I shall commence a general canvass of the county for the sale of stock, and for donation to aid the enterprise. Both the Company and contractors are hopeful of an early completion of the road. Should the people respond as they should, and to the extent that their interest demands, it will not be many months before the iron horse will be snorting over the prairies of Linn." The Salem people have indefi nitely postponed the proposition to pay interest on $100,000 of the O. C. R. R. Co.'s bonds. The Record says: " The citizens of Salem have the power to help the enterprise by individual subscriptions, and should do so, unless they desire the road also to be indefinitely postponed. The road has to deflect from a straight line some five miles to reach Salem, and the county will be better accom modated by a central road than by one that shall bend around to reach every town. Both English and French astron omers are making preparations for observing at the East an eclipse of the sun on the 18th of August next, which will be total for the space of G' 4G' along a line passing through Southern New-Guinea, Ilindostan, the bay of Bengal, the Malayan Pe ninsula, and the Gulf of Siam. Lev errier recommends that the French ships be placed on the eastern side of the Malayan peninsula for the ac commodation of the observers. Some interesting questions regarding the "coroDa" and "red "flames" it is hoped, will then be satisfactorily set tled by meats of the spectroscope. A storm in Colorado is thus "noticed" by the News: During the rain of yesterday it snowed four or five inches. " Dr. Cass says the Pacific rail road is running west like the old nursery-story pumpkin vine two to .our miles a day. YAMHILL COUNTY. We have just returned from a vis it among some friends in Yamhill county ; and, reader, we are slight ly exhausted not because wo found the trip tedious, for we were so hand somely treated, and passed the time so pleasantly that we have ouly thanks to tender for those attentions, but weary because we are not accustom ed to such episodes ! The daily rou tine of a publisher's life, especially when he is Editor and devil also ; is anything but pleasurable; hence we were " out of our sphere'' of ac tion on this trip, and felt weary when we arrived homo. We gathered a oreat variety of good ideas on the ex cursion ; new ones to us; and shall be benefitted by them in future. Yamhill is truly tha garden spot of Oregon. It was formerly a saying with reference to a special locality in New England, that they built school houses there, and raised men ! Yam hill county is not yet sufficiently aged to boast of many men which she has reared, but it is a little striking that there are a great many efficient men in Oregon, and some few that we know of outside cf the State, who honor Yamhill for what she has done for them. The attractiveness of home is too often lost in a materialsm which culminates in dusty streets, tree less yards, and ill fashioned habi tations. In matters of rural taste and home adorning, however, Yam hill county lacks none of those essen tials to make home attractive, so far as our observation enables us to say at present. It is true that Oreeon farms, as a general thing; illustrate good taste, and serve everywhere to remind us of how much more might be done, had we the people, iospired to fill more of those wastes wonder fully attractive in their own physical features. Nature is profuse iu her ministrations, and rural adorning can never be accomplihed with more ease, and with a smaller necessary expenditure, than here in Oregon. But we aimed to say a word in this with special reference to Yamhill county. Her area is equal to a good large sized middle State, while her population is scarcely equal to an or' dinary county in Ohio or Indiana. At the late election 1208 votes were cast for Congressman, and to her cred it be it said Gi l of those were for Hon. David Logan. Ia 1SGI the vote of Yamhill county was S3 4 ; and, in 1SGG, 1128 so- it will be seen that she has a fair increase. The soil of Yamhill county is excellent, j We were shown fulison the farm of Col. Cris. Taylor, lately purchased of Gen. Joel Palmer, which have been cultivated every year but one since ISIS, and which even now produce astonishing crops. Gen. Palmer has raised GO bushels of wheat to the acre, year after year, on a portion of this iand. The land is rolling, and farms are cultivated with less difli. culty than on flat lands. Timber groves are interspersed with prairie lands, affording ample facilities for building and fencing. At all times the farmer of Yamhill county has as ready means of transportation as oth er river counties, and at certain sea sons shipping is more ready. We have no statistical information re specting the amount of grain raised in Yamhill county, but have been in formed that 100,000 bushels at least, have been shipped since last harvest from Dayton, LayfayetteTand McMin. ville, the principal depots on the river, and more remains in store. As good farming lands as can be found in the Western States, with valuable im provements thereon, recently sold in Yamhill county at $20 00 per acre. One farm, of a full section, was re ferred to us at $10 00 per acre well improved, and a body of valuable land, embracing some 2,000 acres was placed at a nominal sum, in our estimation, for any one who really wishes desirable property. The pco pie of Yamhill county can boast of their schools, we feel certain, from the appearance of the school-houses; they havealso, a Court House, which is really a creditable building. It needs some repairs however, to make it pleasant. This is situated at La fayette. We found the Clerk ex. and elect Mr. Adams and Mr. Red ding, both " at home," seemingly happy over the " result" in Yamhill county but not so pleasant in regard to the State at large. We visited the Courier office, a dingy looking place, ia entire keeping with the ap pearauce cf the sheet issued from it ouce a week. Mr Johnson was not " at home:' Dayton is a lively lit tle burg. There is considerable man ufacturing carried on at this place. The Day ton Reaper is made there, a small furnace, wagon, plow, black smith, and'earpenter shops adorn the principal street flour is made at the Dayton mills of .Messrs. Samuel Brown, and Gen. Palmer; and a new lumbering mill was just com pleted by Messrs.-Walter & Co., on the 17th. We have not time to in clude, in this article, more than a portion of the additions to our record of Oregon, made on this trip to Yam hiil county. The reserve we shall endeavor to make useful from time to time in the fature. TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. We take the following telegraphic news from dispatched to the Oregonian. The currency bill was before the Senate on the 18th. -The Democrats have one major ity in 31 districts of South Carolina. The ship Einihj Farnam, "171 days from Shields to Portland," put into San Francisco on the 15th. Great excitement prevails on the Canadian frontier from fear of Fenian invasions not altogether un founded. The " next " revolution in Mex ico will come pretty soon. Revolu tionists arc steadily gaining ground. Johu Stuart Mills' seat in the English House of Commons will be contested by Ex Governor Eyre. The Sultan and his new Cabinet arc maturing a plan to permit per sons of foreign birth residing in Tur key, legally to hold property, which right is to be guaranteed by treaty with foreign powers. Tho Post Office Department has awarded the contract for carrying the overland mails to the California Stage Company atabont S1000 per day be- tween the termini of the Pacific Rail roads. Copperheads in Congreess are now opposiug the admission of the Southern States. What a sweet scented consistency, that parly dis closes, by its tactics in and out of Congress. The Missouri river is unusually low. No boats will be able to get above Muscle Schell, and only two or three that far. Pack traius ar riving from points on the Columbia via 1611 d'Oreille Lake, report the trail in excellent condition. Three gentlemen from the South ern States arrived at San Francisco on the 13th. by the Nevada, repre senting so many associations of in tending immigration. They have been deputed to examine nnd report upon the advantages offered by Cal ifornia to settlers coming from the Cotton States. They will visit South ern California, San Diego, Los Ange les, San Bernardino, Santa Barbarra and San Luis Obispo counties. THE VOTE IN THE STATE. Counties.

Her machinery was manufac tured at the Willamette Iron Works. Bul letin. All doubts of the safety of Dr. Livingstone, the African explorer, are now dispelled. Sir Roderick Murchison on Wednesday, April 8th, received a letter from the distinguish ed traveler, which came by the way of Zanzibar. Dr. Livingstone writes that he is ia good healih, that his journey of exploration has been suc cessful, and that he will soon return to England. It is said that Oil. Neyce, who so mysteriously disappeared from Oregon at the last Linn county fair, has turned up at Vacaville, Solano co., Cal. The story needs corrobo ration before we can believe it. The people of Peirce county W. T., are about to complete their ar rangmeuts for tha erection of the long talked of woolen factory. The reports of losses by the ter rible earthrjuakes and volcanoes at the Sandwich Islands are truly la mentable. - Never endeavor to entertain a sea-sick man with music on a hand organ.
