Newspaper Page TextSUM, WKMMDA, -AY 29, 157!. FAl'PER UTIUASTim. Tbe Benton Democrat must be con feaaeil to be a braver litigant organ . than the Mercury, though not so dis creet, by halt. The latter wisely avoicla discussion, of the thieving llti- ,gant law. It quietly , endorse the charge that it takes from enforced lltl- . gaut advertisers more than twice what it would dare to charge voluntary pat rons, and never opens its mouth to de- tend or ask to be spared. It is discreet .iMit cowardly, on that score. The Benton Democrat, however, having uie quality or daring, rnsbes bravely up to tiie cannon's mouth and de clares that the litigant law is a good thing. So H is for pauper litigant or gans. This is what the spunky 3en tou Democrat says : "We claim that the law is a good one, that It Is a wholesome economical law, that it does, in feet, what Its title denominates, " protect litigants." First, it protects them by fixing the price of printing at a lower rate than was charged before the law went Into ellect, thereby rendering it less bur densome on that class ofnersons. Sec ond, it protects them bv desiimatlmr a " particular place and paper, where if , any legal advertisements are printed at all they know they will find them." As to the "lower rate" than was charged before the law went intoel- iccc : i ne statement may be true or false according as the limit of time may be fixed. There may have been a time, long ago, when newspapers . charged moon more than they do now. '. or could get now or at the time the law went into effect. But it is not true tliat the litigant rates are now lower. or were at the, time the law went into effect, than is or was charged for otlier advertising. A. tbrce-nuare adver tisement, at litigant rates for four iu sen ions, costs flo ou. At the cus tomary rates for other advertisements. there is not a newspaper in the State that does or can get that sum lor a - three-square advertisement, four in sertions. The Benton Democrat does not get half the sum ; neither does the Mercury. Tliey dare not charge their commercial patrons half tliat price If they were to try it, they would freeze out hi three mouths tor want of advertising patrons. We challenge tiie Democrat or the Mercury either. to the trial of charging even two- thirds of litigant rates for their com wercial advertising. They do not do it ; they dare not do it. They have not done it at any time since the litigant law went into effect. They do not charge their commercial patrons half of litigant rates; and they dare not do that. And yet half of litigant rates Is , a round price, as newspaper business now goes, and one-third of litigant rates Is about the average charge of country newspapers in the Willamette valley. These are tacts that business men may ascertain upon application , at any newspaper .office. Let any uewspiiwr display advertising rates at a figure anywhere near the rate al lowed 4y the litigant law, and tliat paper will thenceforward be shunned by nil advertisers not compelled by law to advertise in it. There Is not a litigant organ in the Willamette val ley or the State dare try the experi ment. ' WHAT VIE KVIW AROIT BLOW' HA MIX. A lew days ago the Dolly Vardens, under the training of John F. Miller, ' were blowbard-lng around this city In ' regard to the immense defections of Republicans from the Regular ticket, at Lincoln, at Silverton, at Aurora, and other outside points In this county. With tiie hope tliat such representa tions would help the Dolly Varden ticket at5alem, tliey industriously ped dled the falsehood that hundreds of Re- j publicans in those precincts liad de- j clared in favor of the Independent ticket. The truth is tliat at Aurora and Silverton, there are absolutely no Republicans who will vote the Inde pendent ticket, and there are less than a dozen such in Lincoln precinct. At Butteville. their candidates declared ,tbat there were large numbers at . iJbampoeg and Fairfield who would vote tiie Independent .ticket. At Chauipoeg their allies were at Fair field. At Fairfield, they were at Sa )em', where they declared that more tliau- a huudred Republicans would ' vote for the pielmld thing. Thus, their strength has been all the time just over yonder iu some distant pre cinct. The county has now been r pretty well cauvsssed, and the result is the finding that tiie numbers of Repub lican who propose to give up Marion county and the State Legislature to John F. Miller, Jo. Teal & Co., are not to cqtceed thlrty In Salem, ten or twelve in Lincoln, - perhaps a half dozen about. Uervals, and there the count stops dead still- -It is not true that there is any Dollyj Varden strength anywhere else, or other than we have mentioned. ' It is an old-time Demo cratic expedient, (learned doubtless of the Chinese) to fight their battles mainjtr with uolae and stink-pots. That style of warfare, however, does not succeed very well with Uie Anier- , lean people, as Miller's, Grover's and Teal's allies found out between the years ISG1 and 1805. The blowhard dodge is one of the most effectually played-out things In the world. The Democracy knows bow it was In 1S70 . iu Marion, county, and they will find .it out again this year. i .

' 8,LVERIMlNRUCANS St Dolly Vardens; There. Accordine to appointment, Attorney-General Williams, came down on yesterday morning's train and went out to Silverton where he delivered in the afternoon, the strongest, clearest, most argumentative and effective speech we have lieard in this cam paign. . The notice of his appointment mid been too brief to enable die news to travel generally over that part of the county; but there was, notwithstand ing, a large crowd present enongh to entirely fill the commodious hall In the Odd Fellow's building. There were present, also, quite a number of ladies. Mr. Williams spoke over two hours, during the whole of which time the en tire audience remained with scarcely an exception, interested to the last. The speech was a searching and scatli ing review of the frauds, and thieviugs and general corruptions of the late Democratic Legislature and the Dem ocratic State administration. He ven tilated the UTIGAKT LAW so thoroughly that even the dullest mind could see the robberies It lccali zes and the wrong it inflicts upon the people. He showed that it was enact ed not only to enable pauper Demo cratic newspapers to live on oi tne people' but that it was enncted at the instance and for the benefit of L. F. G rover who wanted the power of pat- roiiMcre It would irtve nini to assist hun in the prosecution of his political for tunes. . He sent home and clinched the charge that Grover and his accomplices deviled the law as an engine of power in serve ins personal ends; to enable Grover to rob the people that he might. with the plunder advance his personal prospects. He then thoroughly ana lyzed tne LOCKS AKD CANAL SWINDLE, Showing that the fund from which the 200,000 appropriated had been set a part by the sovereign art of the peo ple of Oregon, as a fund for the main tenance ot common schools, and tor that purpose made sacred. Not onlv had this money been wrongfully taken from the school fund, but the appio- priation was profligate and corruptly bestowed upon partisan favorites. He proved by reference to the discussions or the bin, by mcmoers or tne Legia. ture Democrats that a responsible company offered to do the work for a sum less by $75,000 than that bestowed upon the John F. Miller, Jas. K. Kelly and Jo Teal company, land that there was an actual robbery of the treasury or that amount for party favorites, The Legislature issued bonds for 200.- 000 and guWe them to the company before the work was begun, paying interest thereon for two years before the time prest-ribed for the works to be completed, and making an appropria tion or f&u,ouu to pay interest, though not a stroke of work had yet been done. This giving a subsidy in advance and payn.ent of interest In advance was an unprecedented act in the history of subsidies by btates to public improve ments. In connection with this mat ter, he fully exposed and called fresh attention to tiie general schemes ot Blunder. 'consummated or attemntcd hy the last Legislature, in the way of appropriations mm the same lund to jobbing road companies iu various parts of the State. . Incidentally, he reviewed the infamous conduct of the List Legislature hi turning out legally elected members, and foisting in men who had been rejected by tiie people, . in order to carry out the schemes oi plunder concocted by tiie grand cen tral Ueinocratiu ring. THE SWAMr I.AM SWINULK Was next analyzed and the villiilny of It exposed to public gaze. He sliowed how the ring had spied out iu advance the lands they wanted to gobble, liad then lobbied and lugged tiie bill through the Legislature, and how, be- lore tne inn was dry rrom tne pen which had approved the act, they had tiled their claims. He said there was no proof required of claimants under the act, that the lands claimed were swamp lands ; that the act did not pro vide any means of determining whether lands claimed under it were swamp lands ; it was left to irresponsible dep uties of the Land Commissioner to go about the State and select anv lands they might see tit and to return them . as swamp lands : whereupon it be came the duty of the Laud Commis sioner to sell them to the first appli cant. ' t ne deputies might select any lands thevchosc as swamp land thougl the same might be already vested in settlers by patent from the United States, thus casting clouds upon titles , and giving rise to vexatious and costly - litigation, me annncants for land nnder the act were required to nav only twenty per cent of the price one dollar per sere down, the balance to be paid on proof of reclamation of the land, within ten years from the date of claim. He showed how Gov. Grover had attempted by letters to the U. S. Com missioner. to get a ruling of admission 1 1 uie tne swamp lands had vested ii , the State in 1860, in onler tluit all claims established bv settlers unde United States pre-emption and home stead laws, sulisennent to that time might be made void, and the patents Issued therefor be annulled, in order to give such lands and homes of set tlers into the hands of swamp land simulators.. He read a letter of Gro ver's to tiie U. S. Commissioner trans mitting a special list of the lands or Lake Labish (claimed by John F. Miller, under the swamp land act) and Wapato Lake (claimed under the same ' law by another member of the ring) and asking the Commissioner to im mediately approve and confirm to tiie State the selection. This letter taken in connection with the tact tliat the ring speculators were at that time claimants ofthe lauds under the swamp land act, and. the further fact that nearly all. if not every acre, of the lauds in question were already claimed by actual settlers under the homestead or pre-emption or tiie prior donation laws of the United States, proved to the satisfaction oi every person present thot Gov. Grover was corruptly in league with the land-grahhers to rob settlers of their lands. . The Judge's review of this mammoth and infauions swindle was terribly scathing and thoroughly convincing. Il charged the responsibility ofthe act home upon the Democratic Legislature, and pledged the Republican party, in cae it obtained control of the Legislature, to a repeal of the law and tiie enact ment of one with proper guards for the protection of the rights of tiie settlers and to check the schemes of specula tors. The JudgQ then addressed him self to . THE (VEKEBAL INTERESTS which the Republicans have in this .election the testoration of the Legis lature to the Republican party and the repeal of the unjust, corrupt and plun- r derlug measures of the last Democrat ic legislature; the election of Jos. G. s Wilson to Congress, and the endorse ment of the -wise aud beneficent poll- . cies of the National .Administration. As to the matter of ; . REBUKING CORRUPTION in local matters, lie put - the question , plainly and directly to the Intelligence aud sense ot his , audience, whether anything in tliat direction would be ac complished' by throwing- the power of the State into the hands of the I)emo- cratlc iarty and the rings whom he had proved to be reeking with the foulest .corruption, jobbing and thieving. . Xo report of this speech short of a verbatim rejiort Would do it justice. It was a strong, conclusive and unan swerable indictment of the Democratic '.party of the State. CTlie judge, was of ten applauded, and tiie ellect of his talk upon the audience was strongly marked. TIki remarks of hh hearers, after the close, were commendatory Iu the strongest degree. The expression that the speech was convincing and un answerable, was almost universal. j There were, at the close, a tew feeble calls for Chad wick who was outside. fait the rv.-lo !.. ' ciowd. Their minds were made up they will vote on the 3d of June to re deem the State from the grasp of G ro ver, Miller, Teal, tne lanu graDoers, the school fund plunderers, and the rule of Democratic corruption. .Hie Republicans of Silverton are straight up and iu line, readv for the conflict ol Uie 3d or June, nieyaoni wKeauy Dolly Varden iu theirs. A DEMAUOUI E IMPALED. tJ rover's own witness against trover . ' Grover has been saying all over the State that the canal and locks at Ore gon City are being built, "as required by law, entirely of stone, cement and Iron." To show how, even a deputy Governor can practice deceit, we will confront him with tiie statement of the chief engineer of the works, Isaac W. Smith, as published in the Herald of yesterday, Saturday, May 25th. Mr. Smith says: ' There are 1.200 feet of canal between tftft fourth and fifth locks that has been built, resting on the solid rock, a strong and1 durable wall of masonry, level with the bed of the canal, and costing more than the amount given in the Re publican papers as the total cost of this portion of the work. On this wail Is to be erected ajramea tvperttructHre, loaded with stone, to be replaced at convenience if desired, by a stone wall, tiie tofmdatlon of which is already laid. l ite deep gulch, below the falls. ls Deen nneu witn over iw,uuu tons oi stone, over whicli the canal Is to be carried. Above the gimrd lock (which is now buildlner. and sublect to inSDec- tion) the ical of the cauul is tw 6e. of timber, oh the plan explained in. the JSulletin from Uie plan stolen Irani me by a certain gentleman whom I could name. This wall is heavily ironed and bolt ed, and built because it in now impos sible to bliitu a stone trail if desired, and there Is nothing in the law requiring it. THE FARMER ON 1'I BUC SPIRIT. The following, from the Farmer, though severely said, contains many grains of truth : The only thing we really have to tear is the blindness or meanness ot some of our citizens. Men who own large property in our city, and seem to think that all they have to do is to keep it and grumble about the taxes they pay on it, are our worst enemies. Men who will not lift a hand nor pay a cent to secure the building of a bridge across the W illamette nor the removal of the depot into the city, are doing more to injure us than Ben Hollaclay, with all his monopolizing te.ndencies.ever could do if these meii were cured ot their meanness. We need more local pride and public spirit. We need to have more influ ences brought to bear to promote pub lic spirit. When has there ever been a public meeting to consider so import ant a local question as the changing of .1. . i , l j . : me intcK ii mi removal oi uie uepoi, in to Uie city? Which one ot our daily papers has turned away from its dis graceful political slang or one sided partisan tight long enough to present fully and clearly to its readers any of these great local questions To the last question we answer, the Statesman has frequently mentioned local enterprises, giving suggestions, urging action and presenting reasons why Salem should immediately under take to help herself, by a proper dis play of public spirit. We believe we can safely say that in this direction we have spoken oftencr and said more, by half, than has the Fanner which now assumes to lecture as. From all parts of the county we hear tliat the piebald-oayusc-Dem-obrartc ticket will get but little, and in most places no support from Republi cans. Men who have stood proudly these many years, in the Republican ranks, giving tlieir earnest sympathy and support to the government while it struggled for its life against traitors, while John F. Miller, L. F. Grover and their associates gave their sympa thies to rebels and their influence to thwart tiie efforts of the Union armies, are not going now to blot and foul their record by going over and casting themselves into the arms of John F. Miller and L. F. Grover. They will take no part in the election of Demo cratic represenfcitives to the Legisla ture. They will not consent to assist in throwing the political power of the State inevitably inlo the hands of tho Democracy, when there is so much hope or redeeming tiie State from the corrupt and thieving rule of such men as composed the last Legislature. The Mercury neglected, and now declines to denounce the de falcation and flight of Tom How ard, Democratic Sheriff ot Grant County and Democratic candidate for re-election, because it happened "hun dreds ol miles away." Grant county, however, hapjiens to be a county of Oregon, aud Tom Howard happens to be an Oregon officer and an Oregon Democratic candidate. Oregon peo ple are therefore more or less inter ested in tiie affair. If Democratic newspapers decline to denounce him, it is probably because they are not dis posed to censnre their party brethren for such 'xwiduct as those.' In the Mercury's case, denunciation of Demo cratic villainy would be dangerous to some greater thieves than Tom How ard ; and that is likely why the Mer cury treads so gingerly over the mat ter. - . Ub Grover said again last evening at the Opera House that the Willamette Falls Canal and Lock Co. is building the works entirely of stone, cement aud Iron. We refer the reader to the state ment of Isaac W. Smith, the Chief Engineer and Supt ofthe Works, as published in the Herald, who says tliat the outer wall of the canal is to le built of vtod. How this world in giveu to lying ! We hear that Lawsoti, hi the ab sence of John F. Miller, at Gervats, yesterday, let himself loose, and de clared that Ben Holladay and the rail road mouopoly imtaf be put down. To tliat end, if necessary, the track of the railroad must be torn up and the ties burned ; aud after that, if all other means failed, then bullets. If Jonuef had been there, he would not have al lowed his fool to rave in that manner. The eeason wnr the Mercury crowd concentrate their fiercest bitter ness of hate upou Messrs. Fatten and Mallory I that those two gentlemen are so thoroughly acquainted with the means ofraisiug the Democratic cuti cle and combing tiie Democratic hair irritatingly backward, when they get Into the Legislature. They will be two very painful thorns iu tiie Demo cratic flesh. Tiie Democracy are squirming beautifully hi advance. ' ' Tiie soporifie Chadwick went out to Silverton j-esterday for Uie purpose, as we learned, of making a political speech. KeaUy,- now, isn't it wrong for these officers to thus absent them selves from their oOlcial duties ? Very improper, . Mr. Chadwick, very ini proper, if we mast judge you by the rule you lay down for Attorney-Gen eral Williams 1 . A party by the name of Sullivan mounted the Opera House stage, yes terday, after Judge Williams had con cluded bis speech, and indulged in a personal tirade against that gentleman. till ii arly ev rbodv but a few Demo crats, gotasiiamed of bt iug there, and left. RALLY AT SALEM. THE PEOPLE AROUSED. Crowds from the Country. Attorney-General Williams Opera House. at the He Unmasks the Swindlers. Republicans Marching to the Front. Attorney-General Williams was an nounced to speak at the Opera House yesterday. Lng before the hour ar rive tiie people began to flock in from all parts ofthe conntry.andat 1 o'clock tiie city w as apparently as full of peo ple .i on some great gala day. At 2 o'clock Mr. Rickey, Chairman of tiie County Central Committee, with tiie Salem Brass Band, waited upon Mr. Williams and escorted him to the Ope ra House, wliere every available seat was already taken. There tfcre not less than 200 lAlrtES present. The appearance of Mr.- Wil liams was tiie signal for geitera'l and liearty applause, He immediately set out upon the business in hand the un masking of the arch-swindlers Of the Oregon Democratic Ring. Fof two liours aud a half he occupied hinself in hunting otit and exposing the tftlanlea of tiie Litigant Law, the Locks and Canal Swlntlle, tiie Swamp Iand frsud, tiie extravagant outlay of the people" money fofr the benefit ef Demofciatio jKirtisan favorites and creatures, the general corriipt jobbing and thieving of tiie Democratic Legislature and Democratic leaders in this State. He indulged In no Undignified tirade, but addressed himself clearly and directly to the ARGt'MENT and the facts As they stand of record. We do not think any unprejudiced person in the audience" failed to clearly understand and accept his arghment.as correct, in relation to the danger of such legisla tion as that upon which (he several swindles mentioned were based. Noiln prejudicad mind failed to be continued ofthe Injustice and robbery of the liti gant law; the reckless opening of the treasury door to the entry of plunderers in respect to the locks and canal traud, the Increase or salaries beyond tne con stitutional limits, the donations of funds to private incorporation without prop er guards or the Mate's interest; and thereckless jobbing off ol the State lands to the speculators. The unsafe and reckless character of the legislation of the last four years, was proved clearly and heyond question or cavil. He sliowed, too, how the men who conspired to get corrupt jobs through the last Legislature were still in the field and straining every nerve to get control of the next Legislative Assem bly, for the purpose (who can doubt it) of consummating still greater frauds and ei)etuating and completing the old ones. IN l!EiAUl TO LOCAL POLITICS lie said but little, simply referring to the proud record of the Republican party, and urging Republicans to re main united and devoted to the princi ples ol tiie great party which had avwl the government when in great peril and '(inducted it to its nre-eiit condition of prosperity. He called uioii Republi cans to remember that the present elec tion involved issues of great importance to the State, and that our decisioji on the Ud of June would liave a naPfcnal ellect hi November. He thought these considerations of greater moment to Republicans than personal or local squabbles, and that Republicans ought to rise above matters of merely local or personal import, and to cast their votes in accordance with the dictates of un clouded reason and the promptings of national patriotism. THE EFFECT OF HIS SPEECH wai. as we liclieve, deep ami altogether iu the right direction. He succeeded in t-lating sucli matters as lie discussed, so clearly that none could fail to under stand them. The speacb was master ly, convincing andmianswerable. At tiie close, t litre was a perfect shower ot bouquets, thrown by the ladies upon th. stage. The band played a Mifriot ict air, and the people mostly retired. Republicans, with bright, jubilant and triumphant faces, determined to go to work and make old Marion again a . banner Republican county. They will dolt. lLLl'STBATF.. We understand that certain parties have tiled claims, under the Swamp Laud Act, upou the sand-beach of Min to's Hand, just opposite South Salem. Mr. Miuto owns this proK-rty by deed of purchase, ami as a riparian owner claims rightfully to the low water mark. Suppose the State officers should decide tliat the sand beach is overflowed lauds (it is under water at moderately high stage ofthe riverjaud therefore .subject to claim under the Swamp Laud Act, and tliat the State should finally issue a patent to the claimant, what would be the result? Mr. Miuto says the land is his. Any lawyer would say so. Tiie Swamp Land claimant says it is his ; aud the State oflicers say so. There is, then, a conflict in title which must be settled by litigation or black-mail. Cannot anybody see that the mere filing of a claim upon a part ofthe island is sulll- cient to put such a cloud upon the title as woiqd prevent Mr. Miuto from sell ing ' the laud at its real value ? Xo man of sagacity would care to buy it with Uie prospect of a law suit. We mention this case merely because it il lustrates the operation of the Swamp Land Act. The State officers vtay de cide tiiat the land is not subject to claim under that law ; and they may decide tliat it is. If they are honest they will decide the ease upon the principles of law and right ; if tliey are corrupt and in league with the Swamp Laud claimant, tliey will decide in his favor and rob Mr. Miuto of his proper ty. We do not pretend to know what they will do ; but does not every one see how tiie door is open V collusion, corruption and wrong, and how tiie settlers of Oregon are at the mercy of the land grabbers ? . Grover and Chadwick who have, in part, this matter to decide as State offi cers, approve and defend the Swamp Imd law. Miller, who is engineering tla! Independent ticket in this- county, approves and defends it. The Democ racy everywhere approve and defend it. Milleraud some of the StaUorn eers, as we are informed, are claim ants of lands under the Swamp Land Act. They are deeply interested in electing a majority of members of the Legislature who will not repeal or ul- ter the law. If tliey get control of tiie Legislature, the law will' not be re pealed or . altered. The Republican party ofthe State is pledged lo the re peal of the act. If the Republican can didates of Marion county are elected, they will vote tor its repeal. Let the people say which they will choose JohnF. Miller's Swamp Land candid ates who win vote to perpetuate Uie law, or tiie Republican candidates who will vote to wipe it from the statute book. . . - The Germans are almost united in their esteem of the "Lilieral" ticket. The Cincinnati Volksblatt notices that all of its German exchanges thus far, with the exception of the Westlichc Tost, which is the 1 organ of Senator Schurz, virtually refuse to support Uie candidates of the. Cincinnati Conven tion. " Mepbistopbeles does not seem likely to pocket the German vote. Col. Xesmith, wlw : is a Xesmlth man as against Grover, went to Port land to make a speed i last evening for the benefit of G rover. Ness's visual organs are out of ordf r. A number of professed Republicans excuse themselves for voting the In dependent ticket by saying that they want to rebukte corruption ; if tliere Was a fraud In one thing, tliey don't know but there may have been in all. It Is remarkable, however, that no fraud has ever been alleged by any body except In one respect. It Is also remarkable that some of these men arc now trying to defeat candidates whom they tn person as delegates hi the Re publican Convention, assisted to nom inate. We are Informed that John P. Colo voted for some, if not all, the successful candidates for Rejjresenta tives. Another man whom we might mention as very active now in favor ofthe Independent ticket, voted in the convention for all the present RepilWi. can candidates for the Legislature. What shall we say of the treachery of these men foWafd. those whom tliey thcinVelves placed before toe people? If we' were disposed to deal In tlieir own style of argument (?) We might ask, '-who borfght thnn off?" This 'buying''' and "Setting'' argument, is however an inimnnly and Indecent one, and we will not charge if. We must however say tha' the men to whom this paragraph refers, have al lowed themselves to be so blinded by passioii as to forget the honor and good faith that should exist between men. CITIZENSHIP IN OKEOON. We have heretofore published the bill introduced iu Congress by Senator Corbett, to declare the status of per sons born In the district of country formerly known as Oregon Territory. In respect to citizenship. The sub stance of the bill was finally attached as a Proviso to the Deficiency Bill which passed In Congress on the loth of May. The following Is the text of the Proviso : "That all persons born In the district ot country formerly know-n as the Ter ritory of Oregdn.tiiid subject to the juris diction ofthe United States at this time, are citizens ot the United States In the same manner as if born elsewhere in the United States." The Deficiency Bill was approved by the President May 20. and it is now a law of tiie United States. This declares to be citizens all that class of persons who were declared not citizens by Judge Deady's decision of last year. The question is now definitely settled. The law includes in its scope all those persons born within the limits ofthe Territory of Oregon be fore the treaty of June loth liG, whose fathers were British subjects and whose mothers were members of various Indian tribes, then in the Oregon Territory. All half-breeds are therefore, upon the same footing as all other American born people, raised to citizenship and the right to vote upon the same terms as other citizens. For this they are indebted, as were the ne gro race, to a Republican Congress. ABOI T "DIVWINU TIMF-- The Mercury and other Democratic papers are having much to say about Attorney-General Williams' refusal to divide time, at his appointments, with Tom, Dick and Harry, or whoever might choose to challenge him for a joint discussion. These snarling criti cisms do not amount to much, lor no body lK-licves that Judge Williams has any occasion to tear to meet in debate anybody in Oregon or elsewhere. He has declined to divide time or to dis cuss with one or two blackguards that were set upon him by Grover and others, but lie is willing to divide time with any gentleman. When he was at Kugene City, Ben Hayden ap proached him in a gentlemanly way and proposed to discuss politics in a decent, proper manner, and Judge Williams at once consented to and did divide time with him. Ben talked like a gentleman and not like a black guard. But, by what right do these Mer-eury-G rover fellows demand of Judge Williams a division of time with any liody ? His appointments are his own, and he certainly has the right to talk at his own appointments as long as he may see fit. He has never objected to any man's talking after he got through. Grover goes around the State making speeches at his own appointments; nobod3 questions his right to do so, and nobody goes for him or sends blackguards to ask him to divide time. Helm docs the same thing and so do other Democratic politicians. The clamor about. Judge Williams' refusal to "divide time " has neitlicr wit nor point. The editor of the New York 'Even ing Post, wliose tharacter is above im peachment, who is not rash iu his judgements, whose opportunities, dur ing the past thirty years, liave been abundant for funning a correct opin ion, who has strongly sympathised with the Liberal movement, savs of the Cincinnati nominee : "Mr. Gree ley's political associations and intima cies are so bad tliat we can expect nothing from him. iu case, to his own misfortune and our.--, he should lie elected, but a corrupt administration of aflaiis."' Tiie Post sums up its op position to Greeley in the following terse language : "With such a head as is on his shoulders the affairs of the nation could not, under his direction, be wisely administered ; with such manners as his, they could not be ad ministered with common decorum ; with such associates as he has taken to his Immhii, they could not be admin istered with common Integrity."

There will be a grand pro cession, an address by Col. Taggart. U. S. A. and tiie usual impressive decoration ceremonies, at the Court House..

Statesman: The Mercury ha 3 been crowing for several issues over the refusal of Judge Williams to divide time with Nesmitli. and thus make a joint political canvasser the State- The Litigant Organ evidently thinks tliere is a point in it somewhere, but not- wunstauuing us peculiarass tuteness. the true point is yet undiscovered. An order to contribute something towanl the enlightenment ot our suspicions neighbor, we will commend to him the following maxim whicli tiie Judge, as well as other wise men, learned in youth : "AVer fljht irith a sotremjer. utiles you trantel to get iltel vith '." It is safe to assert that Jiuljre Williams would not refuse to debate political subjects with any earnest rep- reseuiative of a political party, even if ne liau no lietter plattorm tliajp "any thing to beat Grant." but to enter into a political discussion, from the san ic platform with a man like J. W. Ni inith wliose style of argument (!) is such that a' tirade ot blackguardism from hini has come to lie universally consid ered a 'characteristic speech" a r ctleitraut Republican who said in a sjieech at Albany that he was : vedwe d into the JifjKilJicnn inrty no wonder that the Judge recoiled from such per sonal contact. It may indeed be trut that the Judge is afraid of Nesmitli the fact, however, is highly compli mentary to the Judge.

WOOL IN SN I8AXIMO. ThePacitie Rural Press, May lSlh, seaks as follows of the wool prospect in the San Francisco market : "There seems hardly a HVsibility that wool will maintain even its present value. There are now iu store, in San Fran-ci-co, over 1S.0O0 bales, including all grades, and even- day is adding its (junta of receiits from all parts of the State. If we compare the present amount ou hand, with the wool dip of last year, it Is evident that a very large quantity is still In the hands of the growers for some of which prices ranging from 40 to 52 cents have al ready been paid. The receipt of this, in addition to that now on hand, les sened only by a few light sales, will have a tendency rather to lower the price in this market than lower It to a higher figure. Much of that now coming in is not sold or contracted for, and for tiie most part is iu small lots, from the growers on a small scale, many of whom feel coniielled to realize, even at low rates ; this will have a further tendency to lower prices ; and we now hear of sales of small lots at jirices ranging from 31 to 40 cents. On .the whole. 'we do not see w hat there is to warrant a belief that wool is to ad vance in jrice greatly beyond the Jres ent market value." IIANKFT MI'.KTIXU. Tm-re will be a IJasket Meeting, on Saturday and Sunday, June 1st and 2d, at the Newmn Camp Oroiiud on Silverton Circuit. The roads to that jMmulnr cjiiiij) ground are now iu Hue order, the water and shade good, nnd a general attendance is requested. COMMITTKK. roi.iTK AI. ami tiii:r notfs. The St. Louis Times asserts that Grant has got Sumner bottled iij as completely as ver lluller was. A lilieral paier remarked ot Judge Davis tliat lie hasn't a dishonest hair in his head. From this wc infer that l):iyis is entirely bald. A German writer says of Horace Greeley : "Finer hauen ansterich von dwei switzen kloppen hausen ; wieht harniicin sdreichtcr, damn fool !" We r.gree with him. Thoma-i A. Scott, or the Pennsylva l ia Central, when asked, a few days ago, ii ne would oe a caiiiuuaie lor lite 1'iesidt V tpo sho 'years, residency, replied that the term was short ; but, if it could he made 9!) he would take a lease of it at once. The election in Main, this year, it. is stated by tiie State press, wili be mere ly a matter of form. Governor Per hani will be re-elected, and the Reuh licans returned from all the Congress districts without serious opposition. The Liberal movement Is scouted, and declared without, existence In the State. So tar as hea.d from Charles Sumner, is not "committed.' He sits and sulks itt his tent, aloof from his old associates, like Achilles mourning the loss of Bri Mes, Is he indignant because the Agamemnou of Cfsappaqua bore a wax so fair a prize which he had thought to make entirely his own ? General Butler is reported to liave i"nl that the nomination of Greeley was the weakwt that could possibly liave been made. '"Greeley lias at last got a nomi natron.' lie said, "on the name principle that an auctioneer in my district accepted the bid of a man who was always bidding one cent, in order to get rkl of him.'' The Marysville Apjx-al says the or ganization ofthe new Republican State Central Committee Is universally com mended by Republicans. It Ls doubt ful if a better committee was ever se lH.ed, and certainly none was ever I letter officered. The Executive Com mittee contains men of great wealth and influence, and numbers among its members several of the shrewdest ) litlcal managers In the State. Horace Greeley lias had very re fponsihle private Interview with Pro fessor Fowler. They compared notes on pnrenoiogy. pnysiofogy, and agri culture, ana Horace announces ms re sulting deduction as follows : Children lioni of red-haired parents will have reddish or carrotty hair. If their pa rents are ronu or turnip, their children will have turn -op noses. Should tiie jiarents be inordinately fond of beets, their children will all be perfect 'beats' ana rrtory-heggars.
