The numerous friends of Wm. R. Mc Cord will be grieved to learn that he has been lying dangerously ill for the past two weeks at Seattle, W. T. He had, however, at last accounts, slightly improved, and it was thought the crisis of his disease had passed. A gentleman, says the Albany Demo crat, has been prospecting the lead mines on the north fork of the Santiam In the'interest of a wealthy company of California, with a view of demonstrat ing whether it is practicable to work them to advantage. His report has not yet been made. j From the Salem Mercury: "From a private dispatch received in this city yesterday from Hon. A. B.

This song, as a matter of course, promises all sorts of bliss and beatification to the radical reformers of both sexes iu this world and the world to come. Several females whose hair was cut very short, and who looked as if they did not comb the ca pillary covering more than once a week, then ascended the platform and ranged themselves as if they were about to be photographed on the spot Judxe Carter, of Ohio, then ollered some resolutions, which were full of "humanity" and "equal rights," "broth erly love," sisterly affection," xa rl l..it - I - ....

At this juncture tho inevitable Mad dox, of Maine, got upon the platform and commenced to saw the air with his arms, nnd at the same time articulate sounds came from Ins mouth. Maddox, of Maine, talked Communism. Maddox, of Maine, talked philantlirophy. Then lie made another excursion iu the air witli ids arms. Then he condescended to explain to his audience the mode of operation by which the new party were to procure funds. Ho said it was their intention to issue certificates of iudebt edness, to be signed by the chairman, secretary and treasurer of the Executive Committee of the new party. This was to be done In the stylo of tho Fenian bonds. Maddox, of .Maine, knew that millions of Americans were ready to buy the bonds, any amount of money could be procured, aud iu the ecstacy of the sublime thought Maddox, of Maine, metaphorically embraced the whole world In his arms. Maddox sat down at last, his eyes roiling in pious delirium. Aged veteran named Spear "Wo aro L'oinir to e-lcct our cau-decdatcts, we are, and the good and the great people of the Lnlted-e-btaics win crowd round our victorious President, Victoria C. Woodhull, and escort him to tho White House, anil our national cx-ecutlvc com mittee rally in upon them In perfect showers." Here the aged veteran sat down, his heart beating liKc a triphammer. The names of the National Executive Committee of tho new party were read as follows and accepted by the Conven tion: A. it- Jtouinson, .Massachusetts; Mrs. Caroline H. Spear, Vico President, Is there anv one here dare denv it that there is one woman fitted supremely for the office of treasurer of this Na tional Executive Committee? Aye, did any one say no? Who answered me? Will any one deny that Mary F. Davis, of Orange, N. J., is not tlie'fittest but the best? I would like to know that person. I propose tho name of Mary F. Davis for treasurer. There Is not an other woman in the world like her. Who said no? Eh? Oh! Ah!" Hero Maddox, of Maine, sat down, looking like a dancing dervish, ex hausted after his physical devotions. Mrs. Mary F. Davis (quietly) I am sorry that I am compelled to resign the office so kiudly tendered me. Maddox, of Maine (in a tempestuous fury) Eh? what? Oh! oh! yes. Of course (with a a wink at the chairman); oil, I guess we can lay that on the table. (Cheers for Mrs. Davis.) Mrs. Davis I regret that I have not the time or the means and my circum stances would not permit me to accept tho kind testimonial of esteem offered by the Convention. (Here Mrs. Davis sat down exhausted and disgusted at be ing so much annoyed.) Maddox, of Maine, now began to be really unconsoioiis of what licwasdoing, or pretended to be so. Ho ran and suimped ami swore and frothed at the mouth, giving people an idea that he had been swallowing soap, and all this was because a quiet little woman did not choose to make herself responsible for his actions. But there is a method in his madness this Maddox. In a few moments ho came down tho aisle, and several ladies, who were afraid that he might bite them, saw him pass up to the reporters' table, where lie screamed out "Did any of you take my speech, d'ye hear?" Herald Reporter "I took some of it, what it was worth." Maddox, of Maine "You should have taken it all and not havegarbled it By G ! I'll not be caricatured in this way auy longer. I was caricatured in the Herald this morning, and if you do it again tscrowimai the licsald reporter), I'll Kivc you hell!" Thiswasnueer lan guage, to say the least of it, to be used by a pious radical; but as Maddox, of .Maine, does not weigh more than ninety-three pounds lighting weight it is not necessary to state that the Herald re porter still lives.

A letter from Umatilla county to the -Fornicrsays: "More than usual interest is manifested by the citizens of this sec tion by securing titles to their homes, and stock-men are buying up the water ing places, and thus securing the range for their herds. There is a good demand for laborers at present, and will con stantly be increasing until the harvest season is ended.

The San Francisco Alfa, of Saturday, may 2oth, says: 'The stringency of the money market in Oregon is almost un reasonable. If it be true (and we have no reason to doubt the statement made by telegraph) that money cannot be borrowed from banks even at high rates of interest and on the best security of real cstite property; and that some par ties would bo willing to give five per cent premium for money to push cer tain enterprises they had on hand it shows that foreign capital is not aware of the undoubted security which a judi cious investment will find in Oregon. There is no doubt tho Northern Pacific Railroad will materially change the condition of tlyj State, and both Oregon and California will be the two great ag ricultural States of the Pacific, that will supply witli grain and fruit of all kinds not only the Western, but the Eastern slope and the Jiuropeau marKeis."

Surtclmskie, from St Petersburg. At this junction the audience turned pale. This dose of Russian common law was too much, and several of tho male delegates, who had laced the read ing of the platform and the interminable resolutions without blanching, seized their lints, grinned horribly and broke for the door in utter panic. Mrs. Lock wood sat down with a thunderous cheer ringing in her ears. "So glad." a document was then read from a town with an utiprouounciblc name in Wisconsin, exiiresslnrr svmmtliv nml condolence with the Convention and its objects.

" The following resolutions were re ported by the Committee on Platform and Resolutions. It is understood they were drawn up by the long-haired Pan tarch Stephen Pearl Andrews, and are like most of his productions, full of sound and fury signifying nothing: JiCiolvcd, That the two fundamental principles of government and the life of mankind arc order and freedom, which have always hitherto been in conflict, and freqnently in fierce autagonlsm, but which arc, nevertheless, destined to be married and reconciled with each other. llcxolvcd.
