We And no terms sufficiently strong to express our disapproval of those acts of the last Legislature whereby the swamp lands be longing to this State have been taken from the needy settlers, and given without limit or proper competition in price to the land grab ber and speculator ; whereby the emoluments and salaries ol Stale officers have been un constitutionally Increased, and the taxes in creased thousands ol dollar by the creation of new and unnecessary offices and salaries, for the purpose of provb ling for party favor Iim' and whereby the citizens of our metrop olis have been deprived of and denied the right of controlling their police authority.

A ' tliis tleletlable ' association of gentlemen, so-called," U now wm- post'ds it cxJiislstA of John F. Miller, principal tuglenian, chk-f etigiiieer and first genttemsii." Jonnef does the planning, tlie thinking, tlie setting tip, and tlie pulling of tbe puppet wires which set the sliow in motion ami fur nish the amusement- Jointers exer tions in this behalf are a labor of love for Grover and Milleswlio hare each got all tlieir earthly capital, of what ever nature, at stake upon the result of tlie next election. Tlie next man on the ticket dearest to the heart of Miller mud Grover is F. E. Eldridge, whose boast It is that be wag an unflinching Democrat through all the 44 dark days " for the Democracy. (Uncle Sam Allen knows very well what days they were.) Then comes Geo. S. Downing, scarce ly less than Eklridge dear to the G rover-Miller tum-tum, and who has the same recommeixlation. Then comes Lawson whoso scattered elements have been recently gathered from tbe four quarters of the political field, and moulded like potter's clay, by Jonnef, Into a regular, outHtnd-out, first-class Greeley bedrock Democrat. Lawsou 1ms gone over body, will and breeches, to the outstretched arras of Democracy, personated by Miller j and we have it upon good testimony tliat he has declared his willingness to Vote for Grovef for United States Senator, in a certain' contingency. Next come J. Conser and Dan Mur phy who if elected, will be, as the Mercury puts it, in county offices where they will hereafter be of service to the Democratic party. Thus far tlie ticket is quite as Democratic as the strictest sect ""Democrats could wish it. . The balance ol the ticket is composed of Sara Allen and John P.Cole, Re publicans. Uncle Sam declares he will not vote for any DemoiTat for United States Senator, and we think he wont. What Mr. Cole would do, if elected, noboby seems to know, nobody in quires and nobody seems to care. It makes little difference what pledges they make or whether they make any ; they will not be elected. The Repub licans will not vote for them aud the Democrats will trade them off. Their election is tlie last thing tliat either party desires. Summing the ticket up it is essentially Democratic. The party supporting it will vote their ut most strength for the simon-purDem- ocratic candidates on it. and will leave the otliers to shift for themselves. It s tlie business of Republicans to op pose it as a Democratic ticket. At the present time there are not more than an inconsiderable few Republi cans In the county who will vote for anyYart of it, and on election day there will probably not be a dozen such in the whole county. KIT KLl'XEN AT OREUOX CITY. The Bulletin of Monday contains a correspondence Iron Oregon City dated May 20, giving an account of an in tense excitement at that place. It seems that Mr. Hallett, contractor on the Northern Pacific Railroad, went to Otegon City to hire laborers. The bosses" on the 1Kks got excited about the matter, and Kv-ted circulars to laborers warning tlieui against Hal- lett," and publishing statements that are pronounced by the correspondent grossly false. Some of tlie men em ployed on the Locks quit work because, their pay was withlield, and tliey pro posed to engage to Mr. Hallett. We quote now from the correspondence : The Company owners and their bosses couldn't coax tlieir men back, so they tried the scire game. They open ly said that they had Governor Gro ver s assurance mat lie wouiu instantly pardon any man if he was convicted of killing any man that would try to in terfere with the Company on election day, and they knew the Governor would pan ion anv man convicted oi doing nnythiny to Hallett or any others wiio should come Here to get tne men away. They freely dispensed whis key and had several "roughs" here to tlo any desperate work required. Early yesterday morning tnere was a notice in writing put under the door of the room where Mr. Hallett slept, ordering him to li-.are the place within six hours, under penalty of deiuh I Ine cowardly would-be assassins mistook their man. Hallett don't scare worth a cent. He is here yet, and means to stay as long as his business requires. The Mayor said it would be right to lynch him." This explains fully what the Com pany proposes to do on election day. The Ku Klux stands uumasked. A aUDIl'lLOCK Bl'UBEAR. To what straits men are -sometimes put by desperation, i Illustrated by the Democratic press just now. They evidently think they have a good card in playtlig Ben Holladay as the bug bear of the campaign ; at all events uothing.turns up, nothing happens in which they do not see Ben Holladay. To tlie Democratic mind, Ben Holla day seems to be everywhere and in everything. If their Democratic tod dy should not happen to taste quite natural or not quite strong enough to suit the Democratic taste, they would Instantly charge Ben Holladay with having corrupted it. Just so ridicu lous can little demagogues be. Won der If these fellows have any idea that they are the merest laughing-stocks among men ot average sense. The silliest and goosiest thing that has hap pened lately, comes from the Mercury under the bead of "Another Holla day Fraud" with the subhead, "Black, Blacker, Blackest." The Mercurial story is that J. L. Hallet, a "paid henchman" of Ben Holladay had been up to the Oregon City"Locks to entice away the laborers employed there, in order to defeat the construction of the locks I J. L. Hallett is not in the em ployment of Ben Holladay. He is a contractor on the -Northern Pacific Railroad and It Was for tlie purpose of obtaining laborers to work on that road that he visited Oregon city. - Ben Hol laday had no more to do With It than he had in making up the Saddle-shop, Dolly Varden ticket of Marlon county. Mr. Laughead is a lucky man. - The Mercury had planted him deep under the daisies with , Its fatal friendship, but In iu Sunday leader that taper rproceeUed, as It were with a long-handled shovel, most energetically in the work of resurrectlou. It anything on fctrth Is wholesome for the body and Soul at man. It must be the bitterest condemnation, of the Democratk; party and tbe fiercest threats of Grover's Mercury. , U!IU v Jk it X U sr l . SOMEBODY, HOLD THESE LOWS! FE1." Finesse has novv come to a climax. Tbe Miller-Grover orpin having come to an understanding of tlie fact that John F. Miller in the character or! manager, engineer, and fugleman of tlie Dolly Vardeii ticket, is doing more damage than good to the cayuse com bination of showmen, makes a very silly effort to set up G. W. Lawson in tliat character. This is llrst-rate, con sidering tlie fact tliat John F. MilVr has been most transparently the mana ger and engineer of- tlie whole concern from the start; tliat lie lias been fie leading speaker; and tliat since the opening day, at Jefferson, he has kept Lawson entirely iu the back-ground. Why, John F. Miller winds Lawson about his finger, carries him hi his pocket, thinks lor him, tells him what to say, stuffs him, unloads him. Law son sneezes when Miller takes snuff, and crawls antl cringes to Miller's slightest request or command. The idea of Lawson as an 44artlllerest" "handling his batteries," etc. is laugh able beyond the best joke of the sea season. How tlie writer of that Mer curial Article must have "haw-hawed" over it. "Go it Lawson !" The sliow isctuns: rich. DEMAGOGUE'S CLAP-TBAP UPSET. The demagogues of this campaign are endeavoring to win the coming f election by stirring up prejudices Against Ben Holladay, and playing Upon the fear that be is about to be come a dangerous monopolist. One of the latest sensations is that he is fig uring to get hoUlif the locks at Ore- god City, in order to control complete ly, the commerce of the Willamette valley. An organized attempt is being made to plant this idea as one of the issues in this election. Little dema gogues who do not know whether or not there is aiiy truth in the charge, are, at the command of the greater demagogues, peddliug it around as true. The greater demagogues know it to be utterly false. The Oregouian ot yesterday makes the following statement upon author ity: " The truth is that at any time dur ipg the last eighteen months, the 'Monopolist' could have bought out the Canal and Locks Company. More that that, a mtjnrity of the stock his been repeatedly offered for tale to Mr. Ibilladay, awl such an offer has been mode to him within the last fete weeks. He could have bought it any time he would have said the word." We have such information in regard to this matter as to authorize the en dorsement of the above statement as strictly true. We do not believe that anybody connected with the manage ment of the works will have the hardi hood to deny it and btave the proofs that he knows will meet, him face to face. "83,000 MORE.' A prominent Democrat of Clacka mas county stated yesterday, in con versation with a number Of Democrats, in this city, that the defection of a number of workmen on the Lock3 would cost the Democracy "fully 3,00u more" than it would otherwise have cost to carry Clackamas county. If it were not the intention of the Com pany to vote these men who hare late ly gone away (and wild were not legal voters in Clackamas cdlinty), how doei their absence affect the prospects o' tlie Democracy in the matter of carry ing the county ? If. after these men went away, tlie Democrats cotild not carry the county without spending '$3,000 mere," how do tliey propo- now to carry tlie' coiinty by spending "fkOOO more?" It is entirely clear that the men must have been hired on the works for tlie purpose Of securing their votes ; and that since they have left, it will be necessary to hire lu their places $3,000 worth of Democratic votes, or tlie county can't be carried for the Democratic ticket. It strikes us that it will be the business ot tlie judges of election to sec that, at all events this supplemental $3,000 worth of Democratic votes shall not le east in Clackamas county. Let tlie Repub licans of Clackamas see to It that the Lock and Dam Swindle Company do not use that $75,000, stolen from the State Treasury, to override the will of the legal voters of their county. A DEMOCRATIC DEFAULTER IIGIIIYE. AM) A letter from the Dalles, dated May 20, contains the following : "Intelligence has just come in from Grant county to the effect that the De mocracy of that county is terribly ex ercised and demoralized. Tlieir old Sheriff, (rt-nonilnated this year on their ticket for Sheriff,) Thos. Howard, has skedaddled with all the county funds. His sureties were in town Sat urday in search of him. Tlie supprwl tion Is he litis sought refuge in Carri boo." Of course, the Mercury, the Herald, and the rest of the Democratic newspa ocrs will notify their readers ol" this defalcation aud runaway, and howl properly over the besetting sin which takes off so many office-holders, with out regard to tlie fact that Tom How ard is a pet Democrat. They are o hot on the track of thieves (vide, the late Kyger affair at Walla Walla, about w hich they were so loudly mum) and this case affords such an excellent opportunity to be virtuously shocked without the susplcian of being thereto incited by partisan motives. Xow, wont the Mercury begin, at once ? A BAKE FALSEHOOD. We are informed that a vile thing who came up from Aurora yesterday, reported here that Mr. A. J. Monroe being called on stated that be knew Wm. M. Laughead bad sold out ; that he was present when the bargain was consummated, etc Xow we do not know whether Mr. Monroe made tlie above or any statement; we do not believe be did. The greater proba bility Is that the thing who so reported him, told an infamous falsehood. If Mr. Monroe did make such a statement we can prove that he uttered an infa mous falsehood. The Mercury accuses J. J . Mnrpby, Esq., of a disposition to "swap" votes in his own favor. He is, in fact, said to have publicly declared that such was his intention. Xow, if there was any truth in this, would the Mercury be silly enough to expose him and thereby thwart a " little game " which would benefit the Democratic party? We think not. The absurdity of tlie fling is Its antidote. SALEM, OREGON, "MOWEmiMU ABOUT THE CAPI IOL.44 All occasional writer for the Mercury, appeared in yesterday's Issue with an article under the altove head, iu which the ridiculous pretense U made tliat the election of the Independent ticket would secure an appropriation for tlie building of a State House at Salem, and thus secure the permanent location of the Capital at Salem. The further false pretense is made tliat Ben Holla day owns tlie Republican nominees for Representatives, and tliat he is op posed to Salem as the seat of Govern ment. Every premise and every con clusion of the article in question are false. Does any man possess so little sense as to believe thtit a piebald lot of Representatives from this county could tlo any more toward securing such an appropriation than could a straight delegation of either Republicans or Democrats? Tlie Legislature is more likely to be Republican than Demo cratic; it Marion county elects the Regular Republican ticket, a Republi can majority is just as certain as any event that can be predicted. If the piebald, fusion ticket Is elected," the re sult may be about a tie. Then could the piebald delegation be more influ ential in such a condition ot tiling-', tlian would be a straight Republicau delegation with a Republicau majori ity ? Xo man with a grain of sense believes it. Again, it is false tliat a Democratic majority in tlie Legislature would favor Salem. The last Legisla ture was Democratic, and all proposi tions to make an appropriation were spumed and hooted at. If a Demo cratic majority were all that is neces sary to get an appropriation for a Cap tol building, why did not the last Leg islature grant it? The Capital ques--tion is not a political one. The ques tion of making an appropriation hits never been, by either party, consJtlered from a political stand-point. liepubli cans and Democrats allke In Marlon county, favor the location at Salem. Democrats alike with Republicans; in Lane county, favor Eugene City ; and so it is with all other places that want the seat of Government. There never was aud never can be any drawing of party lines, any wliere, on the question of location of the Capital. Xo delega tion.of wliatever polities, could go in to the Legislature and claim or get anything on party grounds. Xobody knows this better than the occasional editor who wrote the article in the Mercury, to which we iiave referred). The Republican candidates are in fa vor of any measure looking to the per manent location of the seat of Govern ment at Salem, and they will be ten times more likely to effect something In that direction than any piebald del egation tliat could be selected in Mari on coiinty; Xow as to the hosillty of Mr. Holla day to Salem : There is no foundation whatVer for tlie charge. There is no man who can point his finger to a hos tile word uttered by Mr. Holladay against Salem, either as a corporation, or a community, or as the 9eat of Gov ernment. Ou tlie contrary, the Bulle tin which is supposed to be owned and controlled by him, not long since de nied authoritatively the charge of hos tility, and declared itself i firor of tfulem m the seat of Government. Port land does not want the seat of Govern ment ; Its location there would not af fect ill the least degree, either any branch ot business cr tlie price of real estate. Business men there would laugh at such a ridiculous proposition as the argument of a demagogue or a fool. For years tlie people of that city have looked upon the matter as settled in favor of Salem, and they have no motive or desire to disturb it. All the utterances of the people or news.siper8 of Portland are to that effect. It Is the silliest nonsense and the most arrant demagoguelsm to attempt to make cap ital for tlie Dolly Yarden ticket by the pretense that the Representatives ou that ticket could do more than any oth er style of delegation to secure Hie seat ot Government at Salem ; and no man bitter knows that fact than tlie Mer cury's occasional editor. THINGS FORGOTTEN. The Mercury and the other Demo cratic newspapers have forgotten to mention the fact that their Democratic Sheriff of Grant county has lately ran away with the county funds. They have forgotten to explain how anil why the last Legislature provided unconstitutionally lor a gobble of over $3,000 u year in favor or the State Treasurer. They have forgotten to mention the fact that the same Legislature in creased the pay of tlie Secretary of State to nearly double the constitution al limit. They have forgotten to furnish the justification lor robbing dead men's estates and litigants by the litigant law, of double the sum required to pay lor a like amount ot ordinary adver tising. They have forgotten to explain that tlie above law was assed, for the pur pose only of supporting pauper Demo cratic newspapers. They haye forgotten to disprove the charge tliat tlie last Legislature Dem ocratic wrongfully despoiled the school land of $200,000. JTiey haye forgotten to disprove the charge that having thrust their bauds into that sacred fund, they corruptly gave to their partisan fkvorits $75,000 more than was necssarr to secure tlie building of tlie works for which tlie appropriation was given. They have forgotten to meet and answer these and other indictments for extravagant and corrupt expendi tures of the people's money and tlie levying of ouerous taxes and burdens. These fellows who have such long ears to hear of corruption, and such ready tongues to denounce It, when it is found in the Republican party, siiould brush up and go for the above bits of corruptiou and fraud. The people are inquiring about them. Horace Greeley, four years ago, wrote as follows in the Xew York Tribune about Grant: "We are led by him who first taught our armies to conquer iu tlie West, and subsequently in the East, also. Richmond would not come to us till we sent Grant after it, and then it had to come. He has never vet been defeated, and be never will be. He will be as great and successful on the field of pontics as on that of arms." We accept the prediction made in the last sentence, and have no doubt it will lie fully verified this year. WEBNESDY, MAY ABOUT RKHCatIG HJ1T0!. A iw.atner of very virtuous lmllrihi- als are ruling around in this commu nity Importuning people to vomj out and "tje-bafce corruption" that is to say, vote the Independent ticket, be cause tJtey say two tellers of the Re publican Convention committed a fraud in the count of ballots for Clerk. Que ryHow shall we rebuke fraud and corruption unless wc go in with, and elect the creatures of, one man who Managed an office with a salary of fif toeti hundred dollars a year so as come out in three or four years worth thirty to fifty thousand dollars ; another man who has lieen uotorious as an importer of fradulent voters luto one county or another, to carry them Democratic against resident and legal Republicau majorities ; another man (a Governor) who connived at and approved all the thieving and corrupt legislation of two years ago, and whose tools are now candidates on the Independent ticket. Suppose the charge against the tellers were true, what a crushing Tebttke of corruption" It Is, truly, to. abandon the Regular KtpnUican ticket, and go in what that sort ot a crowd and be their tools and henchmen! What a big thing it is to lie virtuous nnd to play the Virtuous dodge, giving thanks that "I am not as odier men !" THAT OFFER TO SELL THE LOCKS. The Bulletin commenting on the Lock aud Dam Swindle and the late charges tliat Mr. Holladay wants to get hold of tlie works, says: " They (the owners offered to st'll the controlling influence to surrender the works in short, to Mr. Hoi.LADAT. He declineil t hare anything to do villi the scheme! He favors the plan tliat tlie State shall own the works but not at a cost in excess ot tlieir true value. He will support a measure by whicJi tlie Locks anil Canal shall be owned fr erer hj the State, free TO All! Having faihsd iu prevailing upon Mr. Holladay to buy tiieni out ot the con tract as it stands, the Company tried next to prevail upon him with this last proposition. To sell to the State at the 'cost Of construction.' Mr. Holladay refused to hare anything to do with the swindle, in any shape! He does not want the Locks and Canal. He wants tlie ."Hate to own them. But lie thinks the State ought to pay no more than tlieh- true worth for the works and to any scheme which pro Itses to plunder tlie State or to de fraud tlie Schrtnl Fund he will offer tlie utmost oppositiAa hi his power." The Mercury seems of late. In the absence of better argument, to have betaken itself to tlie publication of sliameless as well as absurd sensation al stories. One of its recent efforts in tliat direction was Tuesday morning, when speaking of Mr. Laughead'a withdrawal, it said: " It was found necessary to siirround him with sritne of his trusted Brother Old Fellows and other pretended li lends and to lie to hi in," etc All Odd Fellows will know bow to spurn not onlr that calumny ot tlie BroUierliood, but tlie writer of it, no matter wlio he may be. We believe the whole tenor ot the article from which the above extract was taken, to be As false as the black heart that prompted ft. THE "MANAGER,44 LAWSON.

BRIDGING THE WILLAMETTE. Ed. Statesman: Your local item of a few days since, stating that sur veys were being made looking to the bridging of the Willamette at tins point, lias called out the ungenerous remark: irom tne Oregon ueraia tnai. such a bridge might be commenced in halt a century but would not De nn ished before "tlie Angel Gabriel toots bis horn." The "untiring energies" of Salem, alluded to, may possibly compare successfully with those ot tlie .Metropolis all tilings considered, nnd since a prominent journal lias seen tit to deride this enterprise, I ask room to state that men of energy and busi ness ability deem it practicable, and are determined to prosecute it to a success and that as speedidly as possi ble, though active operations for con struction may not commence belore another season. The value of tlie enterprise to this city cannot be over estimated. Our business tnen realize this and have many times expressed a willingness to aid it by liberal subscriptions and do nations. Their attention is called to the matter and tliey are hereby urged to give It caretid consideration. There is not any other single improvement of more importance to our prosperity, or so well worth investment. If our citi zen respond fairly and aid this work as they can afford, it will unite us in amicable bonds of trade to Polk coun ty and so prove a most profitable in vestment. It may be well enough to state here tliHt tliese surveys are made and plans aud specifications will be soon furnish ed on the assurance tliat money from abroad can be secured for this work at a low rate of interest, and with a rea sonable effort on the part of our citi zens. It remains now to be seen it there is a sufficient appreciation of the benefits to be secured to push this great work along. Notwithstanding tlie sneers of the Herald, the "untiring energies" ot" Salem may be equal to the undertaking. One Interksted. FURTHER Tat H It si n THE "LOCK UAMEi" Wlven the Willamette Lot-ks and Canal corporation was subeiduted nut of the school fund was it supposed by tlie people ot Oregon tliat those who received this large subsidy would use It in employing Chinese to work on tlie Ivocks to tlie exclusion of white labor:' Vet this thing is now in conteinpltt tion. J. B. Itiirrlson, late foreman on tlie Icks lias published a statement dated yesterday, 20tli, over his own signature, iu which he says : I was authorized by Cart. Smltli, (Engineer of the Company.) on the Oth of April, to write to Chas. O'XeU, in Sacramento, to make arrangements Kir from 200 to 300 good Chinamen, not to be put on the work until after tlie 3d of June, election day. Capt. Smith likewise carries in his pocket a card o a China firm, who have offered to sup ply hiin with Chinamen. To the above the following statement Is subjoined : The wit hefore last Jo. Teal pub- $3 00 per licly stated in the Cliff House that he intended to put i")0 Chiiiilmen at work on tlie Lin ks as soon as lie could get them. Thi statement was in the presence ot Ex-Gov. A. C. Gibbs A. F. Forbes Attorney at Law, Oregon City, and otliers. The Locks Com pany has already contracted for over 200 Chinamen to come on tbe works on the 5th day of June. That day all tlie White laborers will be discharged, i This then, reveals the game of the Lock Company. Jt discloses tliat Compauy as a political machine, mak ing au effort to accomplish its furtlier purposes by effort in tlie election. Does it want more legislation? Is it resolved to tiave another subsidy? It seems that its purpose is to use the white men now in its employ to elect tlie ticket it wants in Clackamas coun ty, and then dismiss those men from the work and fill their places with Chi nese. THE LOCK AND CANAL BWINDI.E. From the Bulletin. We Itave some facts to state which will prove tlie truthfulness of tlie state ment that the Lock Company are nsing wood almost entirely in tne works and tliat all the Company, and Gover nor Grover, and tlie Litigant organs liave declared to the contrary, is false! totally, wilfulry, wantonly false! We will prove tliat tlie Fanner was rightfully informed in regard to tbe use of wood in the work, llere is one portion of our proof : The Locks aud Canal coutiact with Jordan & Co. embraces a line of works from upper to lower navigation ot 3,650 feet, whereof 1,250 teet are mider the four "lift locks" emerging from tbe lower navigation, and tlie "guard lock" above the gorge, leaving 2,300 feet ot canal to be constructed of stone wall ing for 1,050 feet above the "guard lock," and 1,200 teet below tlie "guard lock." The first and second chambers are In the solid rock. So also are the third and fourth chambers ; but the third chamber lias to have six feet of masonry ou tbe surface of the rock. The fourth chamber lias 1.200 feet of canal, which under the contract of March 2d, 1S71. and by an amended contract with Jordan & Co., was to be of stone work with a masonry wall nine feet high. This wail would cost $40,000 ; but if put up as now pro posed, with lumber, it will not cost be yond from $0,000 to $7,000. But as the quantity of lumber will not exceed 130,000 purchased at $15 per 1.000 feet the cost ought not to get above tlie lowest estimate $0,000. Tlie 1,050 feet above tlie "guard lock" was to have been, under the con tract with Jordan & Co., ot rock wall ing of six feet width and fifteen feet depth a total ot 04,500 cubic feet of solid masonry, at a cost of about $55, 000. In place of this the Company now propose to construct tbe work of wood, which will require 250,000 teet of lum ber, and tlie total cost for material and labor, will not exceed $12,000 ! It is clear, therefore, that in substi tuting wood for masonry, as tbe Com pany is doing, the cost of the work will be greatly reduced, but the char acter of the work wilt be materially im paiml thereby ! It will not be durable. It will not last lieyond a few years ! To more plainly show the difference in cost between the contract under which Jordan & Co. were required to do the work, and the manner in which the Company is now executing it, we will present the figures : Tlie cost of tlie work between the Locks in ma sonry, as per contract. $55,000 ; built ot wood, as now, $12.000; a differ ence ot forty-three thousand dollars! '1 lie coat of the work above tlie Locks, of masonry, as per contract, $40,000 ; built ot wood, as now, say at excess, $7,000: a reduction of thirty-three thousand d'Mar ! Or. A total reduction in tlie cost of the work, built of wood. as the Company is building it, instead of "iron, stone and cement," as the law and tlie contract each requires of srrenty-six thonsonil dollars .' ! And this large sum is just so much more out of which the State will be swindled by tlie Ioek and Canal Company by Jo. Teal, John F. Miller ami Bernard Goldsmith, and Governor Grover has already, in his public speeches, eiulorsetl the. h mje swi mile. We will now present stronger evi dence, if tliat be possible evidence, at least, which the Conqiauy cannot Im peach, beca-sa it is that furnish"! by their mrn Chief Engineer, CAPTAIN Smith ! We preseut herewith a sketch of the hlentieal plan ot the work as it was drafted by Captain Smith. And we have tlie draft ol the work, in reg ular form, exactly tlie Engineer made it in our possession ! We sliow from this undeniable authority tlie fol lowing i The work will not be constructed of iron, stone and cement." as the law and tlie contract with Jordan & Co. re quired. It will tie constructed of wood, fastened w ith bolts and spikes. Tlie western wail will be tlie earth and rock of tlie west shore on the bank of the river. The outer wall will be con- tructed as follows : The principal tnitne work is a straletie triangle, con sisting of a tie beam xi'i Inches which rests uiiou tlie rock foundation. The Inner post is .seventeen feet in length, and the outer post fourteen feet, nnd t lie re Is a middle supporting iwst ot seven feet all of which are 12x14 inches. The tie beams will be bolted down with six one inch irou roils. The tension rods to stay the In ner and outer posts will be one and a quarter inch iron, with the lower ends wedged to secure tliem in the rock, and the upper ends to be bolted iu the tim bers. These triangular frames will be placed five feet apart, antl tlie canal floor and sides will le of planking, four inches thick and one foot wide, lastened witli spikes The planking on the outside posts will be ot three inch stuff, with a space of two incites left, between each plank. And the hollow space will lie ballasted with rock irom tlie excavation. Tlie depth of the canal w ill be fifteen feet. The shore wall will be the natural hank, excavated to the proper depth, aud tlie outside. wfUl wilt b of wood! Tbe work will tlierefore not be duralile. It will last only a few years t And it will not cost to exceed one huwhred and twenty thousand dollars .'or EIGHTT thousand DOLLARS less tlian the Com pany receive from tlie State for build ing it ! THE ELECTORAL TOTK. v e nave been requested to answer the question wliether the next Pres ident will be chosen by an Electoral College numbered according to the representation of tbe States in the present Congress, or according to the number to which tlie Stales will be en titled under tlie new Apportionment Dill, Dased upon the ninth census. The second clause of the first section ot Article II, of tbe Constitution pro vides that " fcacli btate shall appoint, in sucl i manner as . tlie legislature thereof may direct, a number ot elec tors, equal to the whole number of Sen ators and Representative to which the Mate may be entitled In the Congress, who shall meet, etc Tlie Forty-eo- oud congress doe not expire until the 4 Ui of March, 1873, at w hich date the new Congress wherein the States will he entitled to tiiei rrormetitatlon l portioned upon the ninth onvw will commence its existence. Tin? Pre-H- dent and Vice-President are elected in January, two mouths before the expi ration of tlie present Congress whence we conclude that tlie number of elec tors, in the coming election will be equal to tbe representation to which tne states are at present entitled, or. In ottier words, the Electoral College win be the same lit 187 -J as in ims. The three States not entitled to repre sentation lu Congress in 1S68 were Mississippi, Texas and Virginia. Tlie total vote cast in 1883 was 394. of which Grant received 214 and Sey mour 80. This year tbe Congress i full, and the entire 317 votes will b cast In the election of a President an ; Vice-President. Inter-Ocean. Annum in Advance POLITICAL BOTES. Senator Garrett Davis, ot Kentucky, supports Greeley. Hendricks and Pendleton favor a Democratic nomination. Long John Wentworth spent $100 telegraphing disappointments to Judge Southern Democrats appear to fkvor Greeley almost unanimously. , Judge Davis, it is stated, will with draw his name from tbe labor ticket. Sumner will not define his position until after tbe Philadelphia Conven tion. Grant expects to get at least half the Democratic votes If Greeley be his only opponent. Greeley's knowledge of agriculture will be increased this fall by lils expe rience In "beats." ' The old song is pertinent again, "How are you, Horace Greeley ; does your Motlier know yoa're outl"' Isu't curious tliat all those who have been removed from office by General Grant, for peculations or incompeten cy, are howlers for civil service reform. As far as heard from the big guns of the California Democracy fight shy of tlie Cincinnati ticket, and favor the nomination of an out-and-out Demo cratic candidate. Grant i represented as saying that the Cincinnati movement doesn't amount to much. He thinks the Dem ocrats will nominate a straight ticket. Young men of extra conversational powers, who are capable of conducting a five minutes' conversation without saying "you bet" and "hash," are In good demand in tip-town society cir cles. The Chicago Tribune.the great "Lib eral" organ of the West, says that tbe most sagacious friends of the Liberal movement regret Greeley's nomina tion, and Would regard his election as a public calamity. - Tbe Democratic State Outral Com mittee ot California is called to meet at the Cosmopolitan Hotel in San Fran cisco to-morrow, 23d inst. Business of the utmost importance is to be trans acted, relative to tbe approaching Pres idential campaign, and the attendance of every member is desired. Washington and Xetv York specials state that tbe speech of Voorhees in tlie IIouH! continues to excite much and varied comment In all quarters. Tlie friends ot Greeley declare that tlie speech has done him more good than harm, and Southern Representatives ' generally repudiate it. Jefferson Davis is said to be engaged in writing a "vindication" of his ad ministration as President of the rebel Confederacy. It is certainly the only way In which it is possible for him to 'vindicate" himself. Whether it would not have been better had lie been brought to book in another fashion is pcrliaps an open question. A nev Revenue Reform party with a protective-tariff nominee for the toj), a free-trade nominee for tlie bottom, and a reference of all questions of tax ation to the separate Congressional dis tricts for tbe middle, is not a very pro mostng political institution. A Reve nue Reform that dodges all revenue questions looks like a hypocritical fic tion to satisfy tbe easy political con science of seinsn bolters. Tbe proceedings of the Cincinnati Convention reminds us of Col. Hay's Little Breeches" one of his "Pike County Ballads " where a farmer's scorn and indignation are shown In his statement to the Democratic meeting : 'Tou may rrmloot till the cows come borne, But tf one of vou tetches the bov, He'll wrastle his hash to-ntgrht in bell, Or my name4 not Tilmon joy." To "reaooof till the cows come borne" is a most happy and vivid delineation ot a perfectly fruitless Democratic or Lilieral'' amusement, indulged iu solely for their own sake, antl not from any regard to consequences.
