THE IAIXS VILLI: t'ONVETI. When Horace Greeley and B. Gratz Brown were nominated at Cincinnati, we said tliat tlieir caniHilacy would end in one of the most stupendous tirces ever enacted In American po litics. AVe have not at any time seen any reason lor modifying that opinion. It was in the nature of things that the incongruous elements: upon which tlie ticket must depend for its support, could not he conglomerated into any condition of positive strength. The campaign rtiust be, necessarily, one of exaggerations ami ludicrous juxtapo sitions of men ; falsifications of tradi tions and trauspoitioius ol party prin ciples and measures ; efforts to make antipodes meet ; to make round men, tit in square holes, and Square men in round holes, ete, the effort in its en tirely being so unnatural and impos sible of accomplishment as to amonnt to broad farce. The movement has made some noise, because of its novel ty, rather than because it moved men's judgements of stirred meu'S heart-. But it lias already culminated and the sun will never rise again upon the Greeley movement and lind it as strong .is it was the preceding; day. Judging of Greeley's chances by the indications of this day, lie will not get to exceed a dozen or twenty electoral votes. We have all along said that the Louisv'dle Convention of straight Dem ocrats would be w orked up into po sitive strength. Very limited knowl edge of human nature was suliicient to foretell tliat, witli certainty. We knew it because we knew it was not in human nature that any considerable organization of men should submit to be transferred bodily and without pro test into the camp of, and fraternal concord with a foreign organization, between which two there had been war so old as to be traditional. It was an impossibility from the" first," and the at tempt to do it, proved that . men liad lost their sagacity if not tlieir .sanity, under the hot spur of ambition and lust of power. To suppose it possible was to suppose tliat all tlie individuals of the party to be thus huckstered and debauched, were as venal as the party's leaders and betrayers. Those who proposed this wholesale transfer of the Democratic party forgot that there never was, . and never can. be a party witliont honest men in it. The Dem ocratic party, bad as it was, had lionest members men who at least had. the. virtue of believing in what tlieir party leaders professed, and who were hot transferable by bill of sale, like chattels. 'e do not pretend to say that all the men now engaged in tlie Louisville movement, have been prompted by honest convictions ; for, indignation, revenge, jealousy and ambition may have each ftirnislied its quota ; but in the main we believe them to be earnestly anxious to pre serve the party in whose principles they had titith and whose history they had reverenced. Our prophesies in regard to tlie Lou isville Convention are liefcig every day fulfilled. Tlie little side-show at Bal timore which the great Democratic jo.trnals affected to ridicule, has grown to such dimension as to be almost the sensation of tlie day. Scarcely a day passes but we have some dispatch an nouncing an important accession to the movement, another prominent man who has gone back from the G reeky hodge-podge and declared for a straight-out ticket, or another State. tliat has taken action to swell the pro portions of tlie movement. The dis patches of yesterday say that the Chairman of the Executive Committee claims to have been assured of the ad herence of 850.000 straight-out Demo crats and tliat Unas, u Lonor nas consented to be a candidate. Chas. O'Conor as the Democratic candidate will knock tlie tail-board out of the Greeley cart even in Xew York, and dump the Cbappaquack philosopher on his own premises, a demoralized rem nant of an ill-advised and disastrous campaign". Chas. O Conor as the straight Democratic candidate would go into the electoral college with live votes to Greeley's one. lie would carry every Democratic State with a furore, because Democrats could work for him with tlieir hearts iu the work. It is, Unlay, more nearly possible for tlie Louisville nominee to be elected than for the double-headed, Clncinnali Baltimorc concern. Senator Doolittle was up In Maine a short time ago, making speeches for Greeley ami Brown. In a private let ter to tlie editor of the News, he said : "We have carried North Carolina ; we shall, I thiuk, carry Maine. There is a ground swell bere'lor Oreejey and Browu. It is a flood time." If tbe 'ground swell" operates in Maine as in North Carolina, the Republican majority ought, really, to be about 20,000. Doolittle would do well to say little about ground-swells ; his pre dictions will sound very ridiculous , after awhile. A rilOMBLE TIIIXU. AVe understand the Democratic Ex ecutive Committee of Oregon are to have a meeting at Portland soon, for just what purpose, we are not inform ed. We presume, however, tliat it is to take action iu regard to tlie resigna tion of L. F. Lane from the" compound electoral ticket. But we shall not be surprised to Uatrn that tlie attention ot tlie Committee has been called to tlie fact tiiat there is shortly to be a straight Democratic National Conven tion at Louisville, Kentucky ; and that it has been asked to take that fact into serious consideration in determin ing upon its future plans. We shall not be surprised to learn tliat mem bers of that Committee liave decided to go back on the Baltimore nomina tion and take a 4,new departure" in tlie direction of the straight Demo cratic camp. Should the Committee, however, not do anything of that kind, we are assttre l that there are Demo crats outside and who have not been sold to tlie Greeley combination, who will set about putting a straight Dem ocratic electoral ticket in the field. That being doiie we shall see such a going backward among Democrats of Oregon as the chiefs have not dreamed of. Tliere will be hundreds upon hun dreds of Democrats who, otherwise, would vote for Greeley, who cannot be iudueed to do it, while a straight out Democratic ticket is before them. We look upon it as certain that a straight ticket of respectable character and abilitv would get more than half, probably two-thirds, ol the Democrat ic vote of Oregon. The Democratic Greeley press may say what it will, it cannot alter the result. There will be presented tlie spectacle of a party press and leaders without a party. As an incident of the campaign in tlie eveut of a straight out ticket, tlie Eugene Guard will come to the trout, and such recreant papers as the Her ald and Democrat, will be forced to take very modest back seats, so far as the Democracy is concerned. .NI.AVKN . MOKE. We are having iu these latter days frequent (lemonstsations of the indis position of even the humblest clashes in America, to follow any leader who sullers himself to lo- his points of compass. It is extremely difficult for any man, however able, to constitute himself a god for any people to fall down beiore, and worship. Charles Sumner and the colored people are il lustrating this fact, in a very remarka ble way. A few years ago, it any body bad' been asked to point out a man and a considerable class of Amer ican people, between whom it would lie possible to establish an absolute oue-man-powcr ou the one side, and quiet, willing submission ou the other, lie would have selected, at once, Charles Sumner for the people's god and the colored race tor the god's pc jieculiar people. That was when Charles Sumner had not, through mal ice toward one man and an overween ing self-conceit, cut loose from the con sistent course of his life. Now that lie has left tlie party which enabled him to rise to where he is and which lias always been the only friend of tlie col ored race, his command is utterly pow erless and his entreaty fruitless. The blacks followed him while he was right, and admired him with almost worship ; but the moment he went wrong tliey suddenly stopped and im phatically refused to go further with him. Not only tliat, but they told him, in public resolutions, ot tlieir re fusal, and why ; and they are continu ing to tell him. Wherever they have lield public meetings they liave bravely cut loose and frankly declared their reasons. This is but an expression of the ruling spirit of the times, which may be witnessed among any or all classes ot the people of the United States, upon occasion. Freedom of opinion and independence ot action are now the people's mottoes. In IStiO, lloraee Greeley said the electoral vote of New York was stolen from Grant by "the foulest, most au dacious conspiracy and gigantic fraud, " to wit : illegal voting and false count ing, lie arraigned Tammany as re sponsible for it, and cliarged upon that organization that thty icuuM do it wjnin. Tammany is now for Greeley and Greeley is thick as three in a bed with Tammany. Greeley claims to be able to carry New York, by one of the old-time Democratic majorities. Is it not a natural conclusion that Greeley dceuds and ctunts upon "foulest, most audacious conspiracy and gigantic baud" in New York in 1872 ? "Honest Horace (!) relying upon illegal voting and false counting, is the picture now presented. The San Francisco Chronicle says pithily : "The New York Tribune ad vertises the "Life of the New Horace Greeley." It is a mournful record, describing in detail the sad death of the old man we loved, the bargain lor his corpse by the thieves ot Tammany Hall, bv hungry office-saekers, and cunning wire-pullers and disappointed Republican renegades ; the desperate attempt to make capital of tlie lifeless body ; and finally the birth and doings ot tlie new Horace Greelev. Tbe St. Louis Democrat has dis covered that, after all, it wasn't cher ries, it wasn't soft-shell crabs, it wasn't nervous protration, it wasn't too much mind for his body, that ailed Gratz Brown at New Haven. It is now ready to prove, according to Mr. Stephen Pearl Andrews, tliat if Gratz Brown hadn't taken too much ot the absolutoid aud abstractoid clitneutisi mus, his relatoid and cencreloid elab orismus would have been all right. Or if lie had taken his elimeutisimus straight, his virtiginous affection would have been pretermitted. A portion of tlie Democracy is just now supporting Horace Greeley lie cause he was an '-original Abolition ist." Yet Wendell Phillips says of Horace: "I need not tell you, mv frends, what Horace Greeley is. We abolitionists knew him only too well iu tlie weary years ot onr struggle. He had enough clear moral vision to see the justice of our course, but never had courage enough to con fess bis faith. If events had never given him the courage he never would have had principle enough to risk any thing lor the idea." "Waiting lor the Juisville Conven tion" Is what a considerable proportion of the Democrats are doftig, just now. It is "masterly inactivity utilized." : "M II AT MAS KWIE JIOSKYf of Tine There has been a continual com- -plaint, since last winter, . about the scarcity of money. There is no denial ot tlie fact that business has suffered greats, during the entire summer, on. account of tlie "tightness" of the mon ey market "Where has the money gone?" is a question we bear asked ; almost every day. Last year it was comparatively plenty ; this year there ; is so little in circulation that embar-. rassuients are frequent in the most re- , munerative business. The tlieory-that the farmers have "salted down" motK ey does not sufficiently . account lor it. fl Tliere may have been some small amounts saved in that way, and still larger amounts have unquestionably been held for the purpose of paying tlie expenses of barvestinz; but it cannot be that the aggregate of money thus taken out of circulation has pro duced the stringency. We must look for the explanation elsewliere. Some progress is made in solving the problem, when we have taken into the account tlie immense sums of money that must go every year to jajrv . flr the' clothing; the Iwots au(t shoe. the groceries, und the everything tds that we habitually buy from abroad. , One of the largest single items of money-drain for the last year or two. has been the agricultural machinery and implements imported, and sold to . our farmers. An intelligent 'gentle man informed us a day or two since that not less than a million and a bait ; dollar's worth of such goods had been, or would be, sold to our farmers iu 1S72. Perhaps that is too large a fig ure ; but the aggregate iuvestment in that line, litis been immense and it ' continues. Not only has a good fwrt . of last year's crop gone but much of this year's crop Is pledged, in that way. It is a good investment, httf it helps to explain the scarcity of mouey. Tliere is a furtlier explanation : ' Within the last two years, say, there has beeu a considerable increase iu our j population ami a very great iuultipli- jj cation and enlargement of our busi ness enterprises. We may safely say the demand for money has beeu uearly or quite doubled, by this means. Thus, while tliere was but one use lor a dollar two years ago, tliere are two now. Bank capital has not, meantime. liccu much increased : the mines have ' 11 yielded comparatively little ; ami rail- 3 road-coitstrnctitm expenditures have , , i , , , . . 3 U-eii greatly shortened. 1 here has been 3 lotiung. ill fact, to supply the kiereas- , , . . , . ... ed demand. It is, therefore, evident how It is that each man or each busi ness has only about hall the money that each one of tlie fewer lumber bad two years ago. The same amount ol money is divided among twice as man- users ; oi course It is spread thinner. Tlie scarcity of money i more comparative than real ; but it i none tlie less embarassing. We see no way out of tlie trouble except through a more diversified industry, the introduction of manufactures and a general practice of rigid economy. We mu' buy less of the things which can and ought to be produced ot man ufactured at home ; and we must turn our attention to the production of a wider range of articles which other people may want to buy of us. West Virginia held an election yes terday. One ot the issues Is the adop tion or rejection of a eonstitutiea. State officers are also to bo voted for. J. N. Camden is tlie Greeley-Detno-cratic candidate for Governor, and John J. Jacobs is tlie straight Demo cratic candidate. The Republicans have no candidate but support the straight Democrat. Mr. Jacobs' tick et is opposed to the adoption of tha constitution. The N. Y. Herald agrees with John Morrissey that Greeley loose is dan gerous to his own success, aud that he ought to be tied up, instead of being: toted around tlie country like a 'moral wax exhibition." We vote tor the largest personal freedom for Horace. We hope his trainers will allow him to write all the letters and make alL the speeches he wants to. ' i r The Milwaukic Sentinel says s Th Tributie published a list of defaulter to tlie Government tbe other day. Three of them are dead, five of them are fugitives and the other thirteeu are supporters of Greeley," The de faulters usually tall out with Grant, immediately get into the Greeley cart and commence howling tor "reform." The scoundrels really ought to reform. The Chicago Times very pertiriently says that "Mi-sonri has been tor the past year the most lawless and riotous. State in the Union." Tlie legitimate. result of "shaking hands atross--the bloody cham." by B. Grate Brown, and Pap Price's Boys. The telegiaphie report continue to give account of straight lietnocratio movements in the various Sbites, and of defections from the Greeley : party. 3 1 ne double-geared ticket is bow, also, a back-action ticket. " DR. HOWARD. j He tells His Tale ot Woe. ; New YottK, August 21. Dr. How ard, who has returned trom Spanish imprisonment, attributes his release to the efforts of the American press, and returns his warmest trunks. He thinks Fish might have dieted more promptly, as he was an American cit izen, and might have abbreviated or at least alleviated his sufferings. How ard will go to Washington and present , his claim, which is a pretty round sttin, including loss of his medical bus iness at ( ientugas. The latter is val ued at thirty thousand dollars. f He will return to Cuba in a fewdaysJ He was loaded with chains on tlie trans port ship, lodged in tlie hold and wlien lie wanted air had to go on deck, drag ging bis cliains behind. These actions and bad food gave him dysentery. The commander ol tlie prison at Gadbt was a brute and a thief. Some ot the prisoners actually died from i eating food other than tbe regular fere,' fiir which the commandant charged doa ble. No other prisoners'were allowed -to converse with Howard. 3?o letter or papers were allowed to reach him. while filth aud vermin were terrible. While Howard was sick tbe com maud ant refused to allow his removal to hnspita!,-which was only secured by the efforts of the Americas Consul. A person who was called into'court for the puqiose of proving the correct ness ofa doctor's bill was asked by a lawyer whether the doctor did jfot make several visits after the. patient was out of d inger."

To this It was replied 'that' while such might be true of Uie past,, there were many reasons for believiitt ' that the Legislative Assembly, to mei in the coming Atituin, would rradlly avail itself ot the project of tlie law V under consideration, since, upon it, had been bestowed more earnest labor, by pntctlcil Oregon educators tliaii had, probably, been given to any ex isting statute in this State. . - AKTEliXOpN eESrlOK.
