T11K WAIIilMVS MUMl'BY Is making a heavy drive against, drinking and gaivding, ft Is desirous of increas ing Mr. Oimick's voto but has a very trilling circulation and that candidate can not sately bet on being elected, It' he de pends upon such suppoit. OKKUO.X-S USE FRl'IT Cannot tail to make an enviable showing at the Centennial exhibition. Throuah our several modes of drying and preserving, our fruits retain their unequaled flavor Hud will more than compare with the fruit of any other place in the world. C. II. McOONAl.O. Writes from Oakland, California that he is In good health and Is engaged on the Tribune, as one of the principal writers. He ha many friends who will be pleased to learn that that he is employed in dis seminating true Republican ideas. THE STATE FAIK Has kept the Statesman exceedingly busy and much important matter has been left unnoticed, or rather omitted. The Fair excitement passes away In a short time when we will have more space to occupy with matters of purely local Interest. That " connecting link " which Provi dence permit, for some inscrutable pur pose to publish the Oregon City Enter prise, is evidently seriously affected with political Jim jams. He persists in giving currency to most villainous charges against Hon. Henry Warren, but few will believe them, coming from such a sonrce. OHIO ELIXTIOS. The Republican majority in Ohio is small but it indicates positively the drift of public sentiment. That Iemcratic rag money business drive away many of the old supporters of the party name, and it is safe to conclude that the future will show much greater changes in favor of the Re publican party all over the land. GUERAL SESJIIIH Is attending the State Fair. He is a gen tleman of fine attainments and large ex perience, but still has a notion of being a Democrat if he can on!' find out what the word means. In talking of his brethem in Ohio and Pennsylvania, he used some language not found in religious works of the day. VMVISDJD IIIARGE. - The Albany Democrat charges Judge Slater with making a Democratic speech at a re-union of Patrons of Husbandry, at a Union, recently. While we have no especial friendship, politically speaking, for Mr. Slater, we are ready to demand justice for him, and are prepared to state that he deliverd an excellent address but earelully avoided politics. t llAXbL' OF FROST. The Albany Democrat thinks linn county will go Democratic and laughs at the expectations of the Statesman. Our figures are based on the supposition that a large number ol Democrats have been suf ficiently humbugged with that anti-public-school Lane Democracy and will vote lor M r. Warren . 'Hie election returns will show whether or not we over-estimate the IntelHaence and honesty of the people of Linn couutv. EXPLANATION. Some unjust allusions to the Alden Fruit Preserving Company ol Salem have unin tentionally crept into our reports of the State Fair, and we desire to correct the in fluence of them as fitr as possible. The goods on exhibition were In no way in jwior to those of any other Company but up to the regular standard which has given them an enviable reputation in both Ku rope and America. We will give the mat ter a more extended notice in a few days. KEftPErTFVlJLY KYITF.O. Hon. J. K. Luttrel, member of Con gress from California, in announced to make a number of speeches in this State during present canvass. Judge Caples will probably meet him at Roseburg on the 18th and give him a welcome to our young State. The importation or Calfor nia orators shows the desperate extremity to which the Lane Democracy is driven, ami indicates their apprehension of a sore feat. Republicans should be on their guard and meet such efforts to influence the people with a solid front and most de termined work for Mr. Warren. SENATOR MTCHEIX Will arrive in Portland about the 20th instant. We hoped he would arrive in time to aid in the present canvass, but he is giving his undivided attention to the internal improvement of our State, and securing appropriations tor the purpose. The Senator may be able to visit Salem yet iie'bre the election, and if so he should he induced to make a speech on tlx; sub ject of political issues of the day. CERTAINTY AND CELERITY Of punishment seems to be the best pre ventive of crime. Such dastardly acts as that of attempting to poison the Savage family recently, near Salem, should be carefully investigated and the criminals very promptly punished. Such attempts to commit murder must excite a whole community, as all are personally interest ed, and no one safe. Let the criminals be ferreted out and punished to the full ex tent of the 'aw. A SEW DEPARTURE. Governor Watkind's little Mercury makes a desperate attack on whisky shops and gambling houses and calls on some body to suppress them. It seems to have abandoned the Lane ship, and will proba bly support Mr. Dimick. The sheet is about that size, and it would be an advan tage to Mr. Lane if that paper would abandon his cause and go for Mr. Dimick. If the temperance party desire tliat kind ot an organ they can no doubt purchase it for a mere trifle. IMMIGRANTS ARSIYISU Immigrants ara arriving in Oregon by the thousand, by the various routes and mode of transportation. They bring capital and business energy, which they propose to add to what we already posses as a State, and every lacility should be given them for securing what they desire, new homes in this new country. Immi gration is jnst what we need and we are pleased to nete that our people all over the State take pains to make strangers feel that they are among a hospitable people. A majority of those coming are Reeking farming lands and our real estate dealers and citizens generally should extend all possible aid In the way of information, to l nose woo aesire to settle amopg us. THE COOS CttlJiT a RECORD. Is a decidedly lively exponent of the Par ty of Progress In that part o! the State. Its readers can rely upon It for Informa tion and will never 1 deceived. That paper deserve a liberal support from all directly Interested In the property ot the county. IMRORirn OlIATOR. TIks Lane Democracy Is In a bad box. The candidate Is unable to meet Mr. Warren In a respectable manner and a Californiaii is sent lor to do his work. How is it that tho people of Oregon call ou politicians from other States to tell them how to vote? Can the Lane Democrats gain anything in that way ? We thiuK not. Ml Al l. BIKIMI Peck at the best fruits, and little sheets like the evening edition of the Oregonian do just what the Intelligent masses expect. The advertisement Is worth nothing to tle Statesman, the only Republican daily in Oregon, but this paper is pleased with tlie "good Intentions" of the Journal, and ex tends thanks. - - " IIEVKB taiI.t:JIJI, May properly be applied to Mr. Lane, but when the people of Oregon want some thing aecoinplislied which is diC'cult, a solid man like Mr. Warren is just the kind of Representative they want. Mr. Lane can talk in a pleasing manner, and always appears well ou dress parade, but in active service, would prove a failure ou our hands. Vote for Henry Warren. MOKE AID NEEDED. Ifanypartof that Democratic corrup tion fund remains unexpended it should be turned over to the Diniick-f.ane organ, the other name of which is Mercury. It Is destroying considerable white paper which that ring of Individuals will be called up on to pay lor, and the weight is already growing heavy upon their shoulders. They will soon commence anew the song. ''Save, Oh, Saye! ti V t KMIR CIKKT, Of Portland is a very modest man, but hts friends think he Is the man for Cnited States Senator, in case the State Is so un fortunate as to elect a Democrat. The Statesman is for Governor Watkinds, it a good Republican cannot be elected. A Mr. Grever and Gen. Xesmith will meet in a square contest and it Gov. Watkiuds does not carry off the prize probably Gov. Curry will. Alt of these last named gen tlemen will certainly lie excused and a Republican elected. VERY WILD F1UI RES. The Portland Evening Journal figures Mr. Warren's majority in Multnomah county, at a low point. That Lane con cern will, of course, discourage the friends ot the real interests ot the State in every possible manner, but the best judzment of the best men of that county, places the majority of Mr. Warren at from four to eight hmnlred. Four hundred majority in Multnomah will elect Mr. Warren, beyond all question, by two thousand majority. Mr. Casey, of the Dallas Itemizer, esti mates that we cannot fall short of four hundred in Multnomah, and Ms judgment is said to be good. DEdBEMY REFRESHING. The "war of poises and roses" was no where compared with the Groverand Wat kinds scheme tocapture the tern pera nee vote fortheirpet. Mr. Lane, when they set out in in a crowd against drinking and gambling. Their little organ, the Mercury, is mai'e as tliey term if. ' red hot against thieves,'" and the severs! editors of the coiiurrn chuckle over their cunning scheme, with the friends of Mr. Dimick. and expect to elect Mr. Lane thusly. The attempt to detract from the reputation of the States man will be treated with the contempt which it deserves. A KMPE4TABLE KEPBENESTATII'E. The worst enemies of Hon. Henry Warren cannot charge him with dishon esty or incompetency. A Jftrty winn (sail that can be urged, asrainst him. He is able and capable. If the people ol Oregon want some business transacted in connec tion with the land department, Mr. War ren is jut the man. If we want new mail routes established, or an increas o fserviee, the present administration governs the matter, and a Republican representative is the man for the place. The Republican " tidal wave"' now sweeping the country. is destined to carry the whole people with it, and the only safety for our State is to be in accord with it. Ever- property holder should vote for Henry Warren, nl R N EXT fEN 4TOR. Considerable cunning figuring is being done by several Democratic candidates for the office of United States Senator. Judge Slater ot Eastern Oregon is very promi nent as a candidate, but he is compelled to meet such men as General Xesinith and Governor Watkinds, who are also promi nent among their friends in that party and Mr. Slater stands a good show ot suf fering like one ot those little porcine spec imens, a whole litter of which was over whelmed. But, all of these aspirants for the place, should "stop and think before they turther go," that the people of Ore gon want a bold and broad gauge Repub lican elected, as the State needs some good work done in the next six years. If mat ters should turn in favor of a Democrat, then the Statesman wants the best and will he for Governor Watkinds. LETTER FROM HON. HENRY WARREN A Mr. D. L. W atson of Coos county ad dressed a letter to Mr. Warren, in Portland, the contents of which can be fully under stood by reading the following answer : Portland, Ogn., 2, 1875. D. L. Watson. Esq.: Dear Sir : Mr. Gamble informed me to day that there was some feeling in regard to mv being at one time belonging to a party whose object was the proscription of foreigners, and on that account there were those of foreign birth, among the miners, I etc., in your county that would vote against me. .Now, will you say to those whom you see, that 1 am ot jingnsn Dirtn ; was nat uralized in 1850 In Yamhill county the county in which I have resided for 27 years or more, except the few years I was in the Land Office at Oregon City. And I wish to say further, that all my political public lite is open Tor investigation by an intelligent and discriminating public, in whose hands I am willing to rest all the charges that ir.ay oe brought against me by a corrupt and irresponsible press, which I never refer to in my address. It is not probable that a foreigner himself will proscribe others of like birth. Say also to all those who may feel an in terest in regard to their titles to land, that having an experience of nearly ten years in the Land Department, I can give them much more aid in that line thanLane, and, if elected would take pleasure in attend ing the wants ot the people who need some one to attend to such work. 1 should write more length', but time forbids. Very Truly Yours, Hesbv Waeeen. hi VlVVrti W ; Er II : Olil DOI OLAS COVNTY LETTER. GARDINER, Oct. 11, 1ST5. Ed. Statesman: Many will be sur prised, as was when I came to Oregon, nine months since, to learn that there Is 9 belt of country 60 miles wide lying on 'he coast, reaching from the I'mpiiua to Ya quina Bay, nearly 100 miles, without a settler, unless It be en the Alsea reserva tion and a tew scattered along Smith river to the head of tide water. But little of this country had been surveyed, much of it is yet unexplored, hence there Is no map ol It. This uninhabited section Is watered by the Alsea, Sinslaw and Smith rivers, and their tributaries skirted by rich bot toms and a chain ot lakes reaching from near the Umpqua to the Siuslaw. These rivers and lakes are all navigable but the surfaces of these lakes and the Siuslaw have never been disturbed by craft but the Indian canoe, and here are deep solitudes never broken by tlie voice of white man. There are here, 24,000 quarter sections of land for settlement; supposing one-flttb ot it arable land, we have room here for nearly 5,000 families. The reason this country i still unsettled is found in the fact that nature did not clear It ready Tor tlie plow. It U a timbered country. It is natural that Immigration should first be attracted to the prairies and plains of the interior, but the growing scarcity of good land lor settlement on this coast, will very soon send a hardy determined set ol pioneers into these forests, so favorably located for settlement; being aecessable by land from the Willamette country, and by sea through the Umpqua, Alsea and Yaqulna ports; also down the Umpqua and up Smith river to tlie head of tide, thence by land to tiie desired locality. The greatest hindrance to settlemeat is the labor required In cutting roads through the brush and. tallen timber. This country should be settled by colonies. What would be utterly impossible for one or two men would be easy tor a neighborhood. Persons desiring to settle in a new country, before spending time and roouey iu traveling, j-ould like to have some gen eral information as to topography, soil, cli mate, productions and markets. This I will attempt to give in tlie fewest words particularly of that portion of tills country lying between the Suislaw and I'uipqiia rivers, which run a westerly course paral lel, and empty into the ocean about tliirty miles apart. Smith river and the lormer head near together in the Calapooia moun tains. Smith river run tKMUhweslerly and empties Into the Umpqua. The inest desirable places now vacant on this coast are to be found on thine riv ers and the chain of hikes mentioned above. The south end ot this chain i within four miles of Gardiner. An isth mus ot one third of a miie divides it from the next lake, one of one mile from the next. These lakes are protected from the sea breeze by a low ridge densely tim bered. The coast navigation of these takes and the streams running into them is not less than one hundred miles. This whole country is low and undulat ing, beautified by long, gently sloping con tinuous ridges, bench lands, and some times plateaus er table lands. "Nothing rises to the dignity ot a mountain. The creek and river bottoms are a rich, black sand loam, covered with alder and salmon bruh, easily cleared. On the Umpqua and Smith rivers, where there Is good tim ber for saw-logs, a man gets paid for clearing Iti own land. Tht i certainly th finest climate in Otwon. Having lived for 22 years in Cal ifornia. I feel ipi:ilitied to exjiress an opin ion Ux!i her ite:ire-t neighbor. It is very much like the clim ite ') mi e; Mittu i.f San Fraud -40 : I les windv. fecr Iristy nights, but a little colder ; nion- rainy days, but liitle more rainfall, i'bi- N the calmest country I have ever lived in. For stock and dairying this country is unsurpassed. They ruise as high a four tons of hay jer acre timothy and clover twenty tons of carrots, and more of beets and turnips, besides cabbages weighing 501bs each. All fruits raised in this cli mate grow here in great abundance. Six mihs fion the coast I have seen fine peaches raised fifteen miles from the ocean as fine wheat and corn as any place on tlie Pacific coast. As to market I need but say that we are but two days' sail from San Francisco. Schooners with cargoes of lumber frequently make the passage in 4i hour-. Gardiner must be the port for ibis country as far north as Siuslaw. Freight between San Franci-co and Gardiner i be tween 5 and $7 per ton. This country abounds in game, among which is the elk. They are said to reach the weiget of 1,400. A few days ago a couple ot professional hunters and trap pers brought in the hides of 27 elk. Killed them tor the hides and horns, and left the carcasses on the ground. Is there no law in this State against such a wanton de struct ion of public property. On account of our isolation here, we are deprived of any political speaking. It it were strictly jiersonal we would in sist on .seeing the candidates, but as there are or ought to lie principles involved. we will still adhere to " Principles not men.". the old motto, Pioneer. EXTRAORDINARY OPPORTUNITY FOR THE RELIEF 0FTHE AFFLICTED. The surgeons ot the National Surgical Institute, located at Indianapolis, Indiana, Pacific Branch, 319 Bush street San Fran cisco, have finally yielded to the many ur gent appeals to visit Portland, Oregon, for the benefit of the people of Oregon and Washington Territory. Three or more of the surgeons will be at the Cosmopolitan Hotel, Portland. Oregon, on the 1st. 2nd, 3d, 4th, 5th and 6th ot November 1S75. They will have wt'th them a great amount ot surgical apparatus, appliances, etc., and competent assistants and work men to change, fit and make such appara tus as may be reouired. They will come especially prepared to treat all surgieal cases ; Paralvsis, all kinds of deformation of the Face. Spine and Limbs, Diseased Joints. Diseased Eyes, Catarrh, Private Diseases, Piles, Fistula, etc. On. account of the great expense attending sueh a trip, they will not make another, therefore all who wish to avail themselves of the ad vantages ot the Institute, without the long jeuruey to San Francisco, or Indianapolis, must do so at tnis time. j o cases win ue taken without a fair hope of relief. It is needless to say that the Institution is en tirely responsible, and largest and most popular of the kind in America, curing thousands annually. Remember the time and place and come early. 3f"Send to the Institute tor circular. Seriausly Injured. Mr. Thomas Bradley, connected with the St. Charles Hotelin Portland, got on board of the 5 P. M. train for Portland at the Fair Ground Station' and just as the train had passed the Lt Bish road crossing, for some reason jumped from the train while it was under good head way. He was picked up senseless and carried to a tent near by. Dr. J. C. McCurdy was call ed. The right side of his face is mashed fear fiiiiy and it is fewed tfeat bis etuJJ is cracked. I - SALEM, OREGON, SATUlil j iron DoiuLA coisty. ASHLAND. Oct. 12, 1875. Et. Statesman: Tills place with Read ing, the Southarn terminus of the O. & C. R. R., ItiO miles south of Roseburg, the southern terminus of that road, 100 miles north of it is probably tlie most flourish ing In Oregon. With about one hundred and fifty houses two-thirds of which have been built within the last three years and most of them buildings such as wouli lie considered respectable, even at the Capital City ot the State. To me, however, the reasons for this surpassing prosperity are not fully obvious when I see Jacksonville, only sixteen miles farther north and iu the same valley and more convenient to tlie best farming portion or it, and the county seat ot the county showing but tew symptoms ol life. Both places are compelled to draw their supplies of foreign commodities by IreigSit teams from Roseburg and Redding. I can see however that Ashland has at least two Important advantages over Jacksonville. The larmer Is abundantly supplied with water, by a stream rushing and leaping down from the cvcrisistiug snows of the Siskiien ritige in volume sufficient at all seasons ol the year to propel considerable machinery. And secondly, Ashland be ing situated nearer and more convenient to the lake country east, now settling up, secures the bulk of the large trade lrom that quarter. At this season of the year, a man from webfoot very soon discovers that Rogue River Valley excels In the production ot peaches, grains, quinces and melons; and 1 expect it will yet become apparent that this is a better apple country than the Wil lamette Valley, for I notice the apple makes a larger and better formed tree here than there. Wheat does a well here as in webfoot but the market is not sufficient to make the raising of wheat a very important business the demand is supplied at GO cents per bushel land tliat will produce 40 busliels per acre can be bought for $ 10 per acre. Ashland jut at this time is enjoying a Klamath and Modoc invasion. They were sent in by Sir. Dyer, agent of Klamath reservation to "carry out wheat tor the mills at that place. They CJi me about 100 warriors strong, and about the same number of squaws and children mounted ou nimble ponies and in wagon with a numerous train of pack animals. I ei joy the honor of making the acquaintance of a number of Klamath Chiefs, among them LaLake Blow and Allen Iavid high chief ot all the Klamath. 1 have had considerable conversation with some oi these Indians they seem to have ;reat hopes ot the future civilization of their people; pointing with an air of ex ultation to the many barbarous customs they have already given up, such as slavery, cremation, polygamy and Hpirstualism. One oflhe Chiefs, in response to a question of mine assured me, that although in 'Old time" they burned the dead and preserved the ashes of relatives.and made "bondmen ami bondmaids of the heathen round atout," they never eat captives, but on the contrary had always believed a mouthful ot human flesh would kill a man. I was also Informed that while polyga my was in vogue, it was customary to marry siters and that although polyga mous marriages are not now allowed among the Klamath. Allen-David Imsttvo wives " taken onto him" under the Old dispensation his wives being sister. I would judge lrom aoearance, that these Indian are near six leet tall and they have a bold and even impudent look and maimer about them, rather di-gnsting to a person ned to the subdued bearing and tone ot the webfoot tiheum they are talking ol having a war dance and it tbey do I must be there to see. CI.OWHUM. THAT M'HOOl. tl'f?l1ION. Couvalu. Oregon, Oct. 15, 1S75. To the Statesman : For more than a month every I emociatic paper has mis represented Hon. Henry Warreu concern ing the Baptist College at McMinville. It is true, the public school has been taught in this College, but this is no evidence that it lias been ued for seitarian pmpose. But, let us look elsewhere and see what IH'inocrats are doing. Christian College at Monmouth iscert.-ih ly a sectarian as any school in the Slate, and its President as arrognnt a politician. as lives on Oregon soil, and yet the public school of Monmouth ha been taught in this College, and is now, unless a change has ocenred recently. I ampbell whs a Democrat and so was the emnniunity where this commenced, and now that he and they are Independent they still run the publ ic school . And right here let me say, Campbell sucked Grovei 's " litigant tit" to support his Christian Messenger until he tun, e l Independent when G rover waved him. Now I do not pay there wj ever, or is now any sectarianism taught at Monmouth, but it i a public fund u-td by a chinch. Again look at Corval's. Now as I am a resident of this place I know where of I write. True. I In is not a public school in the ordh ary acceptation ot the term, bit then it Is a State School a gift ot tlie general Government,, and should be as free from Churches as any other State institution. Now, this School is managed by the M.E. Church, South, every member of which is a Democrat and an active sectarian. So lar has this matter gone that no one can be a teacher here until the Church in Conference assembled sanctions the actions of the Re gents. I say it is sectarian, and it this be denied then I will prove it. I say it is un constitutional, according to Grovers own position, and I call upon him to say through his organ, whether the Act giving this school to the Church be in keepilig or no with our Suite Constitution. Let us look and see, how much politics and sectarianism there is here. Arnold, is a member of the M. E. Church, South and an ex-conlederate soldier, Hawthorne is the same. Emery is a minister ! ol this church and a ranting Democrat. A man who never graduated anywhere, but signed Diplomas with A. M. t his name. When he was exposed a year ago, to get him out of trouble a little Southern Methodist Col lege in California furnished bun with an "honorary I Diploma. And last and least, Burch, who says, Gtoyer never sent him by Bill Watkinds, but $500 to carry Polk county is President of the Board of Regents. Now, if this is not using School Funds for political and sectarian numoses then I should like to know what would be ? L. O. Dan H.

(signed) C. C. Astoine. Lieut.-Goy. and acting Governor. P. G. Dksmomik, Sec'y ol State. Chicago. Oct. 15. A Washington special savs among tne important ques tions bound to occupy a considerable share of Ihe attention of the Democratic house cf representatives, is tlie statute ot the na tional banks. An examination of the of ficial record of Congress, since tlie war, shows in the iat ten years a remarkably small proportion ol iJemieratie votes have been cast on any question affecting tlie currency, which could by implication even, be considered a favoring the national bsnk system iu any respect. There is scarcely a leading Iiemocratic politician in or out of Cotigres who has not taken tlie ocea-lou. when offered, to denounce the national 1 atik a a monopoly. Such men a Senator Bayard have never remitted in their crto-is to remove the restrictions on State banks. This opposition to tlie na tional bank system does not Involve at all the, question of inflation, for upon it both hard and sott money Democrats are very generally united. It is expected before many weeks of the next session have passed, an onset on the national batiks will be actively Inaugurated In the house, and the best in formed politicians here ex pect opposition to national banks made a leading feature of the national Democratic Congress. W hatever adverse action to the banks may be takers, would, as a matter of course, be entirely inoperative, while a Republican President and a Republican Senate remains In power. Iti addition to this, it is not certain, even if the Demo crats had entire possession of the govern ment, whether they would agree on the detail of legislation concerning finances which would liave to follow necessarily in the wiping out of the present system. The solt money Democrats have always press ed for the subtitution of greenbacks for national bank notes. The hard money Democrats are willing to compel the banks to wirhdraw their notes, but they are In flexibly opposed to any turther Issues of greenbacks. So far as taking away tlie privilege ol issuing notes is concerned, it Is a question whether the batiks will care very much about it ; but tlie rag-money people will certainly hold on to the bank Holes If they cannot get greenbacks for them. Tlie great probability is, that the national batiks ill. even hi the event of an entire llemoeratie success, not be ma terially interfered with, at least for a loi'g time to come. They do not apjiear to be satisfied with thl. but show evident alarm by the decided man ner iu which their influence and money i always arrayed against Democratic candi dates a much in the eat a the west. If the hank circulation were entirely with drawn the wliole labor of resumption would fall on the gtirernuieut. Washington, Oct. 15.
