There, now, if anything in the world could improve that dashing count, it would be to just (lump all Xhe doubt ful States in Greeley's white liat and then cram them down with Uie aiper iiicnntbent weight of Massachusetts, Michigan, Iowa, MississipL, Maine, South Carolina, etc., etc. We are sur prised that Theodoi-es genhis did not suggest that summary method of end ing the controversy, and thus have an end ot the angry tun of the elec tioneering which now so stuns the pub lic ear. If it were not for one or two tacts, those figures of Tiltou's might be startling ; but in the light of those fact.s tliey tone down into the airy nothings of a flighty, euthusiastie and visionary political strippling. They are based ou no possible reasonable estimate of the situation, outside of more than three or four of the States named for Greeley. To illustrate : California is put down as certain tor Greeley. Xo man who knows the State aiul the character ot the men who now lead the what-is-it party of that State, puts California down as worse tlian doubtful for Grant. Ore gon is put ou the list of doubtful, while tlicre is not a State in the Union more certain to vote for Grant. We can find Theodore a scoi-e or so of Democrats who will caper with him for a few thousand dollars that Grant will carry tiie State by a thousand ma jority. Nevada for Greeley ! Dela ware for Greeley ! Wisconsin doubt ful ! Illinais doubtliil ! Heally, the ease with which the airy 'i'ilton plays battledore with great solid Suites, would be iufenscly amusing, if one could divest himself of tlie unpleasant suspicion tliat tlie player is slightly touched in tlie head with somiithing akin to enthused lunacy.

Dnring (3ie present vear tlie lieoplc have heen, or will be, reheved of a very considerable proportion of tlie United States taxes, which have hitls erto been felt as burdensome. The in come taxes had already been abol- Islied eo far s tltey affected the labor ing tud por classes. The revenues are new derived, so far as direct taxes are concerned, almost eKclushrely from the wealthy or the well-to-do classes. Liqaors and tobaeeo in tts various forias tre still taxeil ; but they are ar ticles net necessary to cither subsist ence oncemort. Tbe tax u them is a bwrtlea which na iuai bears except front voluntary choice. The statu p tax on legal documents, papers, etc., will cease ou and after October first, except s to bunk checks, drafts or orders. The tax on gas ceases on and after August 1st. So, one br one, the Imnlens of taxation forced wpou the people by the great rebellion, are removed by the wise aud beneficent policy of the Administra tiou of President Grant. Tliis, too, while the same policy pays off tlie Xa tionaldeht at the rate of over $100. 000,000 per rear. It la a feature of public financial management which no former administration ever exhibited. Baroness Burdett Courts allows only side whiskers without mustaches on the faces of her bank clerks. . iTisherLJ? ILLINOIS inc. Yesterday. Mr. T. I!. Uickey. show ed us a U-lter from an intelligent and observing gentleman of Missouri who has recently traveled through Illinois and some of the Eastern States. He says : "You may go your bottom dol lar on the election of Grant and Wil son, as that is certain without the aid of Missouri," which lie concedes will go for Greeley provided the 30.000 en franchised rebels vote solid for him. He continues; '-Illinois will give Grant aud Wilson 50,001 majority. Further on. the correspondent says : "I have just returned from Boston and Xew York where 1 came iu contact with gentlemen from all parts of the country ; and I have made it a spe cialty to inquire of tlie strength of Liberal Hepublieuiis. Without ex ception, I have lieen told that it con sists only of disappointed office-seekers, and that the gain to the Demo cratic party from it, by accepting Greeley, will not e-inal the loss of true Democrats who will vote for Grant in" j-refcrence' OKTII CAROLINA. The election hi Xorth Carolina eouw-s ofT to-day. The campaign has Ihh'B the hottest known in t'e old XortU State lor many years. Extra ordinary efforts have been made by both parties and the result, to out siders, appears likely to be close. The Greeley party the late leading rebels composed of former slave-owners and the Democratic aristocracy seem to have determined, to carry the State at all hazards, by foul means or fair. The dispatches inform us that a general or-j-itnization has been ell'eded to prevent Kermblieaus from votinir; but, not withstanding this, the indications are favorable for a Republican triumph. Tlw Greeleyites have claimed Xorth Carolina as sure for Greeley. If tiie State vote to-day for the Republican ticket it will be a sure index to the re sult in November, and will not only upset the basis of Greeley estimates, but 0 far towards producing a reac tion against tlie conglomerate Presi dential ticket. Beriah Brown has taken a nm-and-jnmp at the political situation and by this dashing expedient has got several feet aliead of most of his Democratic brethren. Beriah declares thnt be ac tually enjoys the reproduction by the newspapers of the broadsides which Greeley used to pour into tlie Irmo- cratie camp. Which is equivalent to saying that Iteriali is delighted to be called a "slum," a "villain," a "liar," u "horse-thiei," a "daugerous ele ment." and such like pet unities. He is glad that Mr. Greeley applied these and similar epithet to him In-cause it shows that "tlie Democracy had. tn him. a toe worthy of their most daring fflbrts." Wc observe, by the way, that Beriah is making some "daring efforts," himself, evidently in imita tion of Greeley's favorite style. It is one ot the most remarkable things in tlie world, how quickly and easily a slum Democrat Ctlls into tlie tracks of Ins leaders. AT TIIKIIt OI.lt THICKS. The Democracy of San Francisco can't forget tlie halcyon days when everything of a public nature was de cided by the high old art of ballot-box stuffing. The following is a dispatch of Monday tire 20th : "Thos. O'Neil and juo. Can- will In; examined to morrow ou the charge of fraudulent voting at the late Democratic Primary in the Twelfth A'ard. it is alleged that 130 fraudulent votes were returned from that Waul alone." These Greeley "slums" were doubtless practising, for the Xoveinber election. They want to keep their hands iu. When the Democracy have noliody else to cheat, they cheat one another, on the principle, we suppose that eter nal vigilance, etc. There is one Democratic paper In Wisconsin tiiat will not supjiort Gree ley. The Prairie dn Chicn Courier, one of the ablest of our Democratic ex changes, announces its purpose to lire its hottest campaign shot into the ticket nominated at Baltimore. A paragraph from the editorial of the Courier of last week is reasonable enough : "In the lirst place we know there an? over live hundred of our readers iu the county of Crawford alone, who do nor. wi-h to vote tor Greeley. They are truo Democrats have stood by us many years and now we intend to stand by them' Win. A. Piper, nominated by the Greeley-Gratz-I lemocratic combina tion, of tlie San Francisco district, for Congress, is a rich mm who, the Chronicle says, is chiefly distinguished for having made the munilkcnt dona tion of niwty w.HtH to the Sanitary Fund for the relief ot the wounded on the battle-field, during the rebellion. It is a fitting nomination for that crowd. A Xorth Carolina Greeleyite, pre siding over a county convention, tlie other day, expressed his opinion that treason is the crime of a gentleman after all." And then lie went on to sieak about the "gentility" and the moral dignity" of the Southern trai tors. He is a type of the Greeley par ty at Hie South. The Sau Francisco Bulletin which the Chronicle charges with having been nicely balanced ou the fence since Greeley's nomination at Cincinnati, ha at last been persuaded, by the plain indications ot the times, to come out boWly and strongly for Grant, as the most certain candidate to win. The canvass in Xorth Carolina is becoming decidedly hot. We conclude that Merriatn, tlie Democratic candi date for Governor, despairs of success, for, as tlie papers inform us, lie has lost his temper tud has challenged Senator Pool to mortal combat. They are both old duellists and are not like ly to recede. An exchange says i Horace Gree ley left Cincinnati May 5th and Bal timore July 10th en route for the White House." Yes ; his term, how ever, will expire X'ovember 5, when he will retire to Chappaqua, battered anJ torn and the worst used-up man in America. , Senator Tipton, who has been most completely repudiated by the Repub licans of bU State, Is cited as a wit ness against Grant. Of such Is , the kingdom of false wltnesise. SALEM, OREGON, " THE OKLtiOX is UI PL." We have often iit-ar1 it said tint if. j when wheat is selling at one dolliir i:t ' Oregon, a buyer should go llnoush the valley and oiler two dollars, tlie form ers would refuse to sell and would hold for 2 25 ; and so of other products. There is just a little too much truth iu this saying. We have kuowu wool to stand at a high figure, when it was difficult to buy, simply because wool growers were holding for a still higher price. Every observer of the wool market will remember a recent in stance of this. In talking of this dis position of the Willamette farmer, a gentleman, with whom we were con versing a day or two since, lacetiously called it "The Oregon Grijie." Xow, gripes arc not generally healthy. We know of fretpieut in stances in which the "Oregon gripe" has resulted in very considerable loss to the alHicted party. We know of three independent farmers in this county who had. together, last fall, 5,000 bushels ot wheat for which they vvci'e offered $ 1 25 'jier bushel, deliv ered at Salem. They refused to sell, one of them holding tor $2 00 and the others for $1 50 per bushel. Well, they he It I on till Miy of this year. Meantime wheat went down to S"k"1 Otic. Two of them sold for U0c and the third tor S"c the aggregate loss amounting to something over $2,750. The "Oregon Griie' did not pay in this instance. We have heard of another instance, like tills : A buyer in a neighboring town had 2,000 bushels wheat, and bought 3.1X10 bushel more, tor the whole of which, he was offered $1 20 per bushel last fall. He had the 'gripes and held for a higher price, till not long ago, when the higliest oiler he could get was SO cents. Another: A firmer of this county had several hundred bushels of pota toes last tail, for which he was offered 40 cents per bushel in the field, LT rider the iiilltieucc of the "gripes" he de clined the offer, held ou till spring, sold a few potatoes tor what he could get, gave away many and threw tlie rest away. We have cited these instances to point a moral ; and the moral is. our farmers ought, to be guided more by intelligent judgment and less by the Oregon Gripe.''' We army ourself most, decidedly on the side of Ihe fann er a ag.iin-t the speculator ; and for that reason our counsel is designed, at. all times, to enable the tanner to get ihe most lie can for his crops. In the instances we have cited, the farmers got tlu? worst mid the buyers the best, of it. We wish to remark here that as a general rule, fanners never make money by holding on to their products when prices imtuiiiediately after har vest are up to the average. It is only wlien the prices offered arc below av erage tliat the chances are in favor of a rise, save iu exceptional cases, the conditions of which it would be im possible to state. When prices offered in the fall tire up to, or above, the av erage, the farmer had better sell, as a general rule. Those who pursue this rule will, in the long run, make the most out of their crafts. The offerings this year for wheat will doubtless start below the average say G5 cents. Applying the aliove rule, farmers will do better to hold than to sell. The chances are in favor of a larger price. If, as we presume will not be the case, buyers should start with an offer of 75 or 80 cents, farmers had better sell, unless in circumstances to hold ou without possibility of embarrassment. But our advice is. don't let the "Ore gon Gripe"' get the better ot your in telligent judgment. nEVIOCTtATH' iRFKI.F.SITi tLOItt.IA. rs Precisely what might have been ex pected, is the account in the dispatclies concerning the raids ii)oii negroes by Creeley-Aristocrat-Slums, and tlie riot at the Grant meeting, at Savannah. Georgi.-. Xo sooner tlo the late rebels nd persistent enemies of the Govern ment, sec a possible prospect of oli- taining power, through the election ot Greeley than the virulent copperhead clement begins to assert itself. Tin; Ivu Klux order binds up its loins and liegius to outrage the negroes, defy iw and justice, and to inaugurate ri ots in assemblies of adverse political classes.

Mr. Wm. Meek, formerly of Mil- waukie, Oregon, but for several years t resident of California, passed throogh Snletn this week. We learn from him something of the political situation in California. He says that those who count on that State for Greeley will be wofully disappointed next Xovember. The number of Rcpublicis who avow :t purpose to vote for Greeley is Incon siderable and will not compensate for tlie loss of Democrats. He says Cali fornia is just as sure for Grant as any State in the L'nioii. Xotwithstandlnc the noise made by gome of tlie news- papers, the Greeley movemet is farci cal, led mostly by Democrats, assisted by a few eliaracterless Republicans. file Xey York Tribune thinks it . would be a good dodge to denounce as a lie.'" any slory ol Ku Klux opera tions at the South during the present campaign. If tlie Cliappaquack-Sluni party should go to work and kill off till the lies that are afloat, there would he very little left of their own cam paign ammunition. Iftlicywill only makc the slaughter impartial, wc will cry "content." The Cincinnati Times says : "We liear on all sides of prominent Ohio Democrats who will not vote tlie Gree ley ticket. At a very moderate calcu lation we believe there are 30,000 Democrats in this State who willeither stay away from the polls in Xovember, or else vote for Grant." - Of the twenty-seven Republican pa pers in Missouri which went with Gratz Browu and Sclmrz for State Re form, all but one (Schurz's paper) are ; out-and-out for Grant.

We llnd in the Press Disivttchcs the following letter from Dr. Livingstone, telegraphed by Mr. Stanley, per ocean, cable, lo the X. Y. Herald : Ujih. Xovenibcr, 1S71. James Gordon Bennett : It is gen erally somewhat difficult to write to one never seen. It seems so like ad dressing an abstract idea; but the presence of your representative, II. M.. iSUinley, in this region takes away the strangeness I should otherwise have telt in writing to thank you for tlie) kindness that prompted you to send him. I therefore feel quite at home. It 1 explain the forlorn condition in wliich he found me. you will casily prcCeive 1 have good reason to 110 very strong expressions of gratitude. I Ciime to Uiiji, ofl'a trip ot between four or five hundred miles, beneath the' blazing verth-al win, having been baliled and defeated aud lorced to re turn when almost In sight of the end of the geographical part of my mission, by a number of half-caste Moslem slaves sent to nte trout yanzibsir in stead of men. The aorw heart, mailt; still sorer by the' woful fights I tfal tseen of ' ' ' Man's lubmnanlty to man, reacted and fold on iny frame and de pressed it beyond im-asure. I thought I w.-ts dying on niy left, it is not too lunch to say. nlnio-t every step of my -.vi-:i--v. sultry way. in pain I reached !"ji';i. a nii-ri' riiekh of bones. TrH-n-1 bni'iil some live hundred xtir.ils .sti'i ling worth of gixKls. which I liail ordeivd from Ziinr.ilwr, had unaccount ably been intrusted to a drunken half caste. Moslem trader, who, aftersuau tlcring them for sixteen months ou the way to I jiji, finished by wiling the retnaitider for staves and ivory for him self. He divined on the Koran and found I was death He had also writ ten to the Governor of Uiiy.myembe that he had sent the slaves .-ifter me to .Manvama. who returned and reported niy decease, and he Ix'gg'tl permission to sell off the few goods his drunken appetite had sparitl. He, however, knew pertectly well from men wiu had seen me, that I was alive ant! waiting for the goods and men ; but its fur morality, he is evidently an idiot, and there Ire ing no law except tliat f tlie dagger or musket, I had to sit iu great weakness, destitute of evcry'hing save a few clothing and beads which 1 hud taken the precaution to leave here iu ease of extremity. A near pros pect of liegijary among the I'jijians made me miserable. I could not despair hoi-aiise I had laughed so much :,t a friend, who. on reaching the mouth ot tlie Aamoe.i. said lie was tempted to despair on breaking the photograph of his wife. He could have no success after that. Afterward, the idea of despair had to me such a! strong smack of the ludicrous that it was out of the question. Well, when 1 had got to utiout the lowest verge, vague rumors of English visitors reaciM-d me. I thought, ol myself as the man "who went down from Jeru salem to Jericho." but neither priest nor l.evite nor Samaritan could pos sible pass niy way. Yet. the tiooil Samaritan was close at hand, and one of m tumid., i-itslia.il lit, nt tlio tAn tt ,iis ; an( , ' f ; PX,.jt(,!n'e..r. gasiel out.

I'p to his arrival 1 was not aware of auy pe cuniary assistance, and I caie un salaried ; but this want is now happily repaired, and I am anxious that you and all my friends should know that though unehcered by letters I have stuck to the tak, w hich my friend. Sir Rod rick Murehison, set me, with John Bull tenacity, believing that all would come right at last. The water-shed of South and Cen tral Africa is over 700 miles in length. The fountains tliereon are almost in numerable : that is. it would take a man's lifetime to count them. From, the water-shed tltey converge into four large rivers, ami these again into two mighty streams in tlie great Xile vallev, which begins in ten degrees onth latitude. It was long ere light dawned on the ancient problem aud Mve me a clear idea of the draina're. had to feel niy way. ami every step of the way I was generally groping iu tlie dark, for who cared where the the rivers ran. We drank our fill and let the ret run by. Parlugez. who visited Cazemlie, asked for slaves, and I heard nothing el. I asked about the witters, questioned and iTOsswptes tioned. until I was almost afraid of lu ng set down as afflcted with hydro phobia. My last work, in which I have lieen greatly hindered from want of suitable attendants, was following the central line of drainage down the rough country of cannibals, called Manyiiema. or shortly Manveina. This litip of drainage has four lakes iu it : the fourth I was near when obliged to turn. It is from-one to three miles broad, and never can lie reached at any point or any time ot the year. The two western drains. Luguira and Birtlc Fries rivers, flow into it at Lake Kamolono. Then the great river Lomain flows through Lake Lincoln into it, too, and seems to form the . wetern arm of the Xile on which Petherlck trailed. Xow I know abouL 500 miles of water-shed, and unfortu nately the sevehth hundred is the most interesting of the whole, lor it istlmre. if l am not mistaken, tliat lour loun tains arise from an eastern mound and the last of the four becomes at no great distance off a large river. Two of these run north to F.gypt, Lupera and I -turnlne ana t wo run sontn into inner Ethiopia as the Liainbia or upper Zambezi ami Kofneare. Tltese are not the sources ot the Xile mentioned bv the Secretary of Minerva in the city ot Sais to Herodotn. I have heard of them so often and at a great distance off that I cannot doubt tlieir existence, and in spite of the sore longing tor nome tnat reigns every time 1 think of my family, I wish to finish nn by their rediscovery. Five hundred pounds sterling worth of goods have again unaccountably Deen intrusreu to slaves, ana navo been over a year on tlie way, instead of four months. I must go where they lie at your expense ere I can put a natural completion to my work ; and If mv disclosures regarding the terrible Ufi.iiin slavery should lead to the siiv pression of the East Coast slave trade I shall regarJ that as a greater matter bv far than the discovery of all tho X tie sources together. Xow that you have done with domestic slavery for ever lend your powerful aid toward this great object to this fine country isolated as with a curse from above in order that slavery and the privileges of the petty Sultan of Zanzibar may not be infringed and the rights of tiie crown of Porgnal, which are mythical, should be kept in abeyance till some futnre time when Africa will become another India to Portugue slavers.

He is descended from pure alxirigiiial stock, and was born in humble circumstances. He ' prepared himclf for the profession ot tin- law, iu wliich he. gained distinc tion. Devoted to litieral ideas he took an active part iu politics as a member of tlie Legislature of his native State. He successfully went through the wlwle range ot tlie judicial organiza tion ot his Stare, from the position ol Justice of the Peace to that of presid ing Judge. In 1S46 he whs elected Deputy to the Constitutional Congress in the City of Mexico. During the period of peace he devoted himself lo ' the opening of roads, the incraese of primary and higher schools, and the reform of the financial administration ; : and on retiring from the Government j he lelt In the public treasnrv a consid i erable sum of money. In S'ovember, j 1857, President Coinonfort made him I Secretary of State, and sul)seqnciitly j he was appointed President of the Sn ; preme Court of Justice, under Coniou i tort, the lilx-ral policy which Juarez advocared was urged forward, provok- ing the hostility of the Church party to an extreme, and laying the founda tion of those civil feuds w hich led to the invasion ot the French and the usurpation of Maximilian.

'A stranger about thirty years of age, with I.OXG H AIlt AMI A I.AXKV FKil.KK, Arrived at the Xiagara House and n-gi-tered from Oregon. An excliange says: "He hired a fleet pony, arrayed himself in lull Mexican dress, with the characteristic sombrero liat.

Some of the knowing ones insisted that he was Buffalo Bill.' and others concluded that he must lie 'Texas Jack,' but the sequal proved that the unknown was Joaquin Miller, the poet of the Sierras." We are afraid that J. M. is out upon an extensive ADVEKTlsrxG TOUR, And Is desirous of attracting attention towards himself previous to issuing a new volume of high-pressure poetry. Since Ilis first venture in that direction his name has not been heard frequent ly, save in connection with some very eceentric-and by no means creditable conduct towurde his wife. Poets are accorded certain privileges on tho score of eccentricity by reason of the divine madness under whicli they la bor, but wheu they descend to buf foonery for tlie mere purpose of draw ing attention toward themselves, and go atiroad like a jack-pudding at a fair, they no longer soar on an uncontrolla ble Pegasus, but plod along contempt ibly astride a ridiculously slow aud in tractable donkey. A clown in a cir cus ring is no exponent of high art. VISITORS). Cnpitallnta Vlnltlngr and Investing In Oregon. The Bulletin says : P. I). Baford, superintendent and proprietor of the Rock Island Plough Manufactory, Illi nois, was in town this morning. Mr. . Buford represents a heavy capital, and was accompanied by J. II. Johnson ot Chicago, another capitalist, both ot whom liave invested largely iu the mining business in Baker county,! Eastern Oregon. Concerning the mine here referred to, the same pa tier savs : Two years ago tlie Burnt River Ditch and Mining Company iassed into the hands ol Eastern capitalists who had been sufficiently satisfied, that the conntry thereabout w-as extremely rich in the precious metals and would yield great returns if water could be brought to tliat region, which was the only thing necessary and in which tha't country was sadly deficient. Mr. J. II. Johnson of Chicago, who is an ex erienced miner, aud who has made and lost immense sums ot money iu experiments in placer and quartz mining, examined this country and was so favorably impressed with it that he at once interested a number of Eastern friends and a capital stock of $1,000,000 was formed, tlie claims pur chased and the immense work that would be necessary to carry on the business commenced. All tliat it re quired was capital, which be was not long iu securing. ' Water had to be obtained from Burnt river and it trib utaries, nearly one hundred miles dis tant and to do which a ditch had to be erected at great expense. This was commenced, and two weeks ago the water was first let in, evervthinsr, work ing very satisfactorily. This ditch is 00 miles long and has a capacity ot 2,500 inches or water. For two years it required the employment of from 250 to 400 men constantly to construct it and which contains two Humes, one of which is 400 feet long and 73 feet high, the otlier 250 long and 60 feet high. Mr. Johnson, the Superintend ent of the Company, who is in the city, informs us that its construction cost thus far an amount exceeding: $400,000, the supplies alone, most of which came from Chicago, costing $80,000. He is a man of great mining experience, hav ing been one of the first wlio discovered the gold deposits in the Boise Basin, Idaho, and who looks upon this dis trict, which this Company will make its base of operations, one far excel ing in richness anything he has ever seen. Mr. Buford, a capitalist from Rock Ilaii(1. 111., wlio is largely in terested in this mining enterprise, vis ited Portland last week to bny np and satisfy all claims against it which was concluded to-day. Xo extensive re sults are hoped for this year, as the ditch is new and will require time to get it in running order, but next year tliey will be felt hi every channel ol business and trade In the city, the Company enriched, and every interest in ho State be invigorated with, new life. P. I. Buford of Rock Island is the President of tiie Company, and J. II. Johnson of Chicago tlie Secretary and Superintendent.
