(. Wil-on is ek-cfwl Mcmhr c Coiigrta from Oregon. The next Leg idature Li Bcpublicftn on joint ballo sad H is not impossible that we hav tected a majority in each of the two fcctoes. The Stnte of Oregon is re fccmed from the triercenary ring?. We are to have a Republican U. S. Senator for tlie next six years. Ore gon has sounded another ringing note in the campaign for Grant. We have .prepared the way for au overwhelming Republican victory in tlie State election of 1872. Our next Governor, Secreta ry, Treasurer, etc., will be Republi cans. There will be no more school fund steals. The State lands will be preserved. The rights of settlers will be protected. Internal improvements on a fair, honest basis w ill be encour aged and protected. Things are as they should be. THE HEIH BtH A.N LEUISIATI-'BE. According to present Indications we have elected Republican memters ol the Legislature as follows : Benton Cocnty Ben. Simpson and Jas. Gingle. Representatives. (..'L.VTsoi-Jolm We-it, Representa tive. ClaTsop, C'-olumbia and Tilla mook Samuel Corwin, Representa tive. Coos, Cckky and Douglas Joint Senators, G. Webster, J. F. Watson. Representative, M. Riley.

Stott. Yamhill Senator, J. W. Cowles. Representatives, A. R. Burbank and T. K. Harrison. The above list gives us eight majori ty in the House. Counting elected and hold over Senators, we have a tie in the Senate, without counting Withani ot Benton, who was wrongfully displaced two years ago, and who will probably be given liis Sfat next fall. At pres ent advices, we are not certain but we may Itavea gaiu of one ortwo in Jack sou and one in Grant. Whethet so or not we have a sure majority on joint ballot. fsilUcient to elect a Republican U. S. Senator, -and to defeat further in tended depredations upon the funds and lauds ot tlie State, and to prevent the Lock and Dam Swindle Co. from consummating their proposed further swindle upon the State by the sale of their works "at the cost of construct ion." We shall have a repeal of the oppressive and unjust Litigant law, and we slis.Il have a "proper and just apportionment of (he Senators and Representatives in the Legislative As sembly. We shall hope also to have the necessary appropriations lor State buildings and some practicable and good law regulation our common school system. There are numerous features of our statutes that, as 'Mixed" by tlie last Democratic Legislature, are vicious iu their ojer.itioii ; these we shall expect to see corrected. OETBAU.E IPOS (TTIZE3EKII1P (ien. Palmer who hits lived for many years continuously in Yamhill county, was denied the privilege of voting (except for Congressman) by a Democratic board ot election judges, on the ground that he was a citizen of Silett, Beutwn county. Gen. Palmer's hutite is in Yamhill, but he is Indian Ageut at tiie Siletz Reservation having a part of his family with him. Under the constitution he could not be deemed to have lost or gained a residence by reason of liis employment iu the ser vice of the L'nited States. His bona fide residence was, therefore, in Yam hill county, and he was entitled as clearly as any other citizen of the coun ty to vote tlere. Several other resi dents and voters of Yamhill were also disfranchised in the same arbitrary manner, on aocoutit of being employed at the Siletz Reservation. We are in formed that the election board two Democrats stated tltat they acted upon tlie advice of Gov. Grover who told them that Gen. Palmer having re moved his doiuicil to Siletz had lost his residence in Yamhill. Gov. Gro ver is politically dead now, or it might be worth while to speak in fitting terms of the mn wort by trick by which fee accomplished the disfranchisement el Geu. Painter and his employes. In Yamlxll, Democratic judges of election ruled that a person having left tlie eouaty iu the service of the United States, thereby lost his resi dice and the right to vote. Thus sev eral old ciiiavens were disiranchised. In Laue and Dougliis, judges of simi lar politics ruled tliat persons employed ou the railrad iu those counties did not gain a residence thereby ; in other werds, if they wanted to vote they must go back to tlie place they came trou. This is State law; but tlie prin ciple seemealto work quite contrari wise in different places. But after all this "chopping" on the administration ot tlie law e secure Democratic ad .v&utae, the State iias gone with a sweep for 'the Republicans. The vic- tcry was waii at an up-lijll fight, and is, tberefora, all the more gloriotis. - To-day die Republican National Convention will meet at Philadelphia, and name 4fee man, by acclamation, who is to be President for the next fewr years. Grant is already the nom ine of tlie Republican party of the whole country, and giving authorita tive expresin to tlie nomination will be only matter of form. Xearly trx years ago Horace Gree ley, in tlie Tribune, making note of the gteatly reduced Democratic majority hi 1870, in 'Oregon, from the election of 1868, predicted that iu 1872, the State would go Republican, Horace has lived to see his prediction veritted ; but Oregon Is In great doubt whetlier, after all, she lias voted to suit Horace. IT. G. is in tlie Dolly Varden line now, and Oregon decldely Is not. -7 ELECTION RETURNS J. G. Wilson Elected to Congress. Large Republican galas Everywhere. LEGISLATURE REPUBLICAN. Republican U. S.

Among the things which will the attention of the next Leglnl1nr whetlier it be Republican or Dtaa cratic, will be a law to apportiou taa represeiitatiou in the IegUlativ As sembly, among the several counties w distrlcts according to population. Taw last. Legislature, for the purpose c4 curing Democratic advantage in tfir Legislatiu of 1S72, refuseil to make a new apportionment though it was vreil known that the old one was exceeding ly unequal and unjust to many parts ot the State. To show how unequal i the present apportionment we need only to make a few simple illustra tions. The whole population of the State upon the census of 1S70, was; 90.923. This was divided then among Republican .and Democratic counties in the proportion of 51,202 to 39,721. The Republican districts with a popu lation of 51,202 had a representation of S Senators and 24 Representatives aggregate 32. The Democratic coun ties with a population of 39,721 liadi a representation of 14 Senators atul 25 Representatives aggregate 39. Katern Oregon, with a total poptt lation of 12.832. had 5 Senators anil 9 Representatives ; aggregate 14, car about one-fifth of the Legislative As sembly while its population is less time one-seventh of the entire State. Mult nomah county with a jmpulation 4T 11.510, almost as many as all of Fast em Oregon, has but two Senators al lour Representatives, or less than half the representation of the same popula tion iu Eastern Oregon. Multnomah's 11,500 has no more Senator's tluia Lane's 6.42(5; and no more than Jack son and Josephine's 5,91. Columbia has one Representative to Ni2 popula tion, wlule Alarum litis only one toeaeU 1.992 : ami Multnomah has onlv one f,. n-li ? 877. With n noimbition of ii less each than Multnomah's ratio lor one member, L matiua, wruit ami Wasco have, each, f ir iiiemtiers. We might point out still many other tuv just inequalities in the apportionment; but these are perhaps sufficient to show the necessity there is for the Leg islature to take action in the matter at the next session. We have pointed out the unequal representation ot Dem ocratic and Republican counties sim ply to show the motive which actuated the last iMnocratio Legislature In re fusing to alter the apportionment law. NATIONAL KEPTKMCAX 'OV EX- HO.. , I As we expected, the delegates to tlie National Republican Conven tion, are so near a unit for is neillier any discussion among tlie Grant for "President that there delegates or speculation among tlie quid nuncs. on that point. Every one takes It for granted that the nomina tion for President is already settled, and all attention is turned toward tlie question of the Vice Presidency. Grant was nominated by the people mouths ago, by the unanimous voice of all but the tradil ional enemies of the Republican party and a lew sore headed, disappointed Kliticaus. It is the spontaneous movement of 1S08, repeated. And Grant whose name will lie upon a nation of tongues to-day will be re-elected next tall by the tri mnpliant acclaim of ISO:, repeated.' It matters less who sliall be with him on the ticket whether Collax, Wil son, Blaine or any other of the emi nent men who have been silken of in connection with that office. Grant's name alone and the record o his ad ministration, will be the raiding cry with which the great Republican luu ty will inarch to victory next November, as irresistibly as Grant himselt closed in upon and crushed the great rebel lion. There was a report circulated here yesterday that tlie official count of the votes of Polk county, had given Grant, the Iiemocratic candidate for Senator, three majority. Mr. Lewis, the mail carrier informed us that the official canvass had uot been made yet. The report was, therefore, merely upon outside authority and altogether unre liable. A similar report was also in circulation to the effect that a re-count of votes in Clackamas, had given tlie Iiemocratic candidates for Represen tative, majorities. The truth of the Litter report was positively denied by residents of Clackamas who came up ou the afternoon train. The reports. however, galvauized the defunct De mocracy into some show of life, during the afternoon. They are living now, from liour to hour, on the juice of the grape-vine telegraph. We see some talk in the bed-rocl ' Democratic uewspapersof an intenttoi to split tlie Democratic party raibe than endorse Greeley. That is solel; ' the business of the Democracy ; but i strikes us as very absurd to talk abou ; splitting the Democratic party. Real ly we ain't see where there is any frac- tion of it big enough to split. Thompson, of the Mercury, hasbecu, wearing a while hat for the last two o ' three days ; but it is understood tha lie does so wit h tlie distinct understand ; ing that it is subject to the approval c I tlie Baltimore C-onvention. Mr. Wiiliaiii Watkins, Esq., pledge i himself the otlier day that if Ton Pillion were elected, lie (William might, with his consent, be set dow: . as the d dest fool in Marion county It is so set down. The two Democratic tickets in Jack J son county liad one man in cormnou M ison. Mason was what made th tickets twin, and twins ls what al Jackson county. "Anything to beat Grant" is what tlie matter with D'-h Grant i.V'Po county. WEDNESDY, JUNE Tfee RepiAIicari Victory. TorchlfaraU ProeMaloat stabile at 4 Grand Rartflcatfon Meet ing at Portland.

"AJ UOOIt AH A J'EAY." Tlie N. Y. Commercial Advertiser thinks there is no reason to tear that Mr. Greeley will produce any serious split iu the Republican rank. He will dmibtless get votes in some of tlie bu colic districts, and among the negro population ol the Southern States, lint thinking men are not. to be seduced from their allegiance to the great un derlying principle of Republican Gov ernment iu order to sustain the preten sions or a candidate who proved him self a traitor In the nation's darkest liour. Who clamored for neace at any price when our soldiers were fighting and dying in the field, who has brought ridicule upon the American name in a thousand ways, nd whose eccentrici ties and absurdities long since stamped him as a base coin is stamped.. More over, no political party ean hoe to win respect when its leader is laughed at; and Greeley, in his gravest mo ments, is sure to inspire mirth. Though not intentionally funny, he U the cause of fun In others ; and now tliere is no ossiblllty of serious mis chief through his support of an armed fiie, the righteous auger which he ex cited In '63 is changed to the placid and genial titilation of the popular midriff which finds expression in broad grins in '72. On the whole we are glad Greeley has won the nomination. Tlie people who have sustained the Republican Administration in three well fought campaigns, and to whom tlie fundamental principles of true Re publican democracy, are not to be turned aside to follow a mere will-o'-the-wisp, whose light at best is but tlie glimmer of a farthing candle. We shall have great fun with tlie Philoso pher of Chappaqua, and we are grate ful to the Fates for giving us tlaj ser vices of so excellent a comedian. The Vice-Presidency.

These are memlxjrs of the ea ate and Congress, officers in the amy and navy. who. being iu official po sition and tinder oath to discliarge their duties to the Government, nc not deemed worthy of this general of clemency. We are not prepared t express any great sympathy for ttos political hodie who precipitated tl civil war, but to tlie great body of Ma Southern people, rank ami file, b-J away by the sophistries of ambitions and designing men, we are iireptiwJ a nil more than willing to extend t them a generon and complete -nesty for tlieir offenses. The people of the South have suffered enough. ; thsy have lost tlieir sons in battle, their property in war; tliey liave. lieen humiliated in a great defeat Bi the overthrow ot tlieir clierilied fc stitutioii, and to longer burthen tlatm with oppressive laws, and to exclwle them from participation in their lat governments, Ls unwise and ungener ous. We hall the passage of t lie Aa nesty bill as a measure calculated tn unite the nation and give lieart nodi courage to tlie South. Let us forget tlie differences, overlook the errors, and forgive the crimes of the past. Let us inaugurate a new era, and a an united people enter upon the new career ot a generous rivalry of the divided parts of our common coun try in a career of prosperity ami peace. ORIXJO FHVAXCF A VIEWED BY A CALIFORNIA. A San Francisco paper, which of late has taken considerable interest in Oregon a flairs, and more rticnlarly in our finances, has tlie following on that interesting and weighty subject : "Oregon is growing so rapidly that tho capital available is insufficient for it business, tlwugh flic rates of Interest liave risen considerably. A usury law limits tlie legal interest to 12 per cent, annually, and for the sake of securing; loans tlie borrowers pay a bonus of live per cent., equivalent to 17 per cent. A quarter of a million could be loaned iu 30 days at tliat rate, as we are in formed on good authority.

In chapter flity-scveii in "Rouging It," Mark Twain pays a beaiititui, and, I think, merited compliment to tlie early pioneers of California. Tliat chapter brings back many a remhils etnice fresh to the recollection of your correspondent. His tlescription of the scarcity of women hi this land at that time is graphic, and leads me in mem ory through tlie exieriences of twenty one years ago. Aril 11. 1S50. I landetl on the over flowed plains where Sacrimeiito City stands. was sick both physically ami iiecuniai ily if tlie proprietorship of only two silver half-dollars consti tutes financial indisposition. And I riiink it does lor I did. indeed, feel very sick, financially. Tlie lieight of my ambition was to reach Bams' Bar, North Fork of tlie American river. i If I could only reach tliere I could pick up gold anywhere along shore. But tlie pinch was to get tliere. To do so was to travel two hundred miles in a sick and weary statei for in the somewhat depleted state of my finan ces no line, except tlwt of Foot t Walker's courted my patronage. I made the journey, investing my dol lar in a rabbit dinner ou the second day. I remained at tlie bar one year, during which time neither myself nor my comrades saw a woman. But tliere was something iu that year's ex lierience. tliat we all relislied. it was the very romance of novelty. But at the end ol the year we liad enough ot il novelty was satisfied. Iu aocordanoe with tlie programme we began making preparations to leave tlie mountains. We longed for one more look at civilization. We started, and as the sun was sinking be hind tlie tall pines on the eveuiug of ine second uay ire wrtr It was too brilliant a sight to come upon us so sudden. If. dazzled our eyes. We had walked all day, and were Indeed weary. Finally, we cauie to where a large creek crossed the road, on either I uttik of which tliere stood a log cabin hotel in competition with its neighbor. Being tired we naturally made tracks ior ttie nrsr, uur lo : there stood a wo man in the door, the first one we had seen iu one year. We stopped at once as If we had lieen transfixed. Finally I said. "John I can't face tliat glimpse of heaven, unless I do so by going around the house and coming upon it by degrees."' "Nor I," answered John. "Well, what's to be done ?" I asked ; "Back out incontinently and go over the creek to tlie other hotel. There will surely not be two women so close as as tnese two cabins. We did so. and, as we had hoped and exjiected, that was kept by a baclielor. So uncouth were we iu exterior that we could not command sufficient courage to meet tlie dearest object of our hearts. A day or two afterwards we reached Sacra mento City, where the fair sex were in such large numbers that we could not go around them, but tliey were not over-anxious to capture us until after the barber liad completed his contract to exhume us from beneath the "cos tume of savage life."

The List monthly report of tlie De partment of Agriculture gives rather a melancholy promise for the croi of this year, although tlie season was not yet so far advanced tliat better pros jiect might uot follow with favorable weatlier. Tlie almost unprecedented colli of March and the late continuance of frosts retarded the starting of tlie winter grains. The April returns as a whole indicate stunted appearance, re tarded growth, and rather more than an average amount of destruction by winter killing, but a sound condition of tlie roots of the planets In suitable soil, or that covered nnitonnly with snow, whicli, with favoring weatlier, may secure a vigorous growth and a good yield.

What We Need. In America tliere are hundreds of millions of acres of un occupied land. In Europe there are millions of industrious well-disposed people, wlio are unable to obtain ettr nloymeiir, and are suffering for want of the requirements of life. England has some millions ot pauper popula tionnot criminal, but poor to whom au acre of land would be God's best gift. America needs immigrants to till her soil and develop her unoccu pied domain. England Ls the great commercial nation of the world has innumerable ships. Why sliould not the two nations make a national effort, combine their fleets and from England bring to America a million or two of our suffering brethren ?
