He expect to see Mr. Warren elected on Monday next by at least fifteen hundred majority. Thk "carpet-bagger" Luttrall of Cali fornia says he did not intend to make any speeches In Oregon bnt was "captured"' like A. Johnson when swinging around a circle. He Is certainly entitled to the sympathy of all good men, after meeting with such an accident." , Thk area ot Jake county, Oregon, Is about 11,400 square miles. The assess ment ot 1975 returns S,S43 horses and mules, 20,28 sheep, 73a hog, and 23.190 head of cattle. The productions of the previous year, as returned by the Count? Assessor, are 6,507 bushels wheat, 3.955 bushels oats, 1.803 bushels barlev. 130 bushels rye, 155 bushels com, 6,155 buhel potatoes, fiTtf pounds cheese, 15,355 pounds butter, fi.SiO tons hay, 10,80 pounds wool, and 195,000 feet lumber. rewtor habit.

Ho cannot help it and must be excused. An Interesting archaeological discovery ' was made In Crimea recently while mak ing excavations for the foundation of a building. A tomb was uncovered con taining the following objects: A head dress of solid gold, partly resembling a crown and partly a liolmet; two cups of the same metal, a ring containing a p re el wi 3 stone, a goldon coronet, several gold brooches, and a coin on which Is the effigy of Alexander the Great BEPI'BUI'AS VICTOBY. The recent Republican victory in Cali fornia is not calculated to encourage Lane Democrats and his organs, and all over the State tltey are exceedingly quiet on the sub ject. Booth & Co., ou the "Independent" tack succeeded In electing a Democratic Governor at the regular election by draw ing off Republican votes but they conid not play It a second time and a Republi can Is elected State Superintendent of rubHe Schools. Thus will it be In the great State of Oregon on Monday next. MORE (iAHBUXH. Governor Watklnds' Mercury often a reward of a "soft-shelled cocoanut" for the discovery of the author of tlie contents of a certain postal card. This is a direct proposition to gamble, and is certainly an indictable oft'ense under our statutes. l 1 offering to bet the head of one ot the Mercury editors that some one is fool enough to exchange "information" for it. The Governor will probably enter a plea that the article they propose to ftake is without value. That will "let htm out." THE "HPOBTrB S'al 1FOHN1AN-NOT A B.(MiKK. Jiinm Farm la his Alteny speech carpet-bagger Lut trell pitched into the Grangers red-hot be-! cause most of them vote the Republican ticket, but being advised ot his mistake, - took more conciliatory grounds in his Salem speech. If be had resided among i this people as long as the editor of the Oregon City Enterprise and paid as much taxes, lie would not come out in his ad dresses as if he was talking to a crowd of blockheads. THAT PKEA11IEH ' MOSHSTY-IXT-TRKLI,. Who Stole the M,HO! When talking loudly ot corruption in the Republican party, which is the substance ot the speeches of the imported Californi an, why don't he tell his audience h.w much of that $20,000 appropriation which he engineered through Congress for the relief of suffering California Indians, he actually picketed in a division with con tractors if any? If he did not share in that steal, why don't he clear np the rec ord instead of manufacturing charges against others? A KSOTTT 41 fXTIOX. Several religious paew are engaged in discussing the question ot "Use of torment ed grape juice at the Lord's table." Some Insist on the wine and others on the simple grape juice unferniented, or syrup and water. If it could be ascertained just what tae Saviour made out of water at the mairiage feast, it would certainly be safe to adopt that kind, and it would be a good scheme to em ploy some learned theologi ans to dig ouc tne information. It is or Immense importance to the human race to show the Saviour had nothing to do with fermented wines except to condemn them and never manufactured them. ALL ON ONE SIDE. That 4reat Meeting lt Night. The Califoruian who comes here to abuse Grangers and tell Oregonians ho to vote spends most of his tiuie in show ing how the Republican party fcpent a large snm at money to put down a rebel lion whieh his master Jeff. Davis instiga ted and headed, but forgets to state that the Union was saved as a result of the ex penditure. Of course he will sneer at the idea that the Union wag worth sav ing and continue in his iniquitous course of misrepresentation, but our people cannot be humbugged by such material, even if he has run a thresh ing machine and lived among a people which he asserts are vastly superior to Or egonians, and able to tell us how to vote. A UKAND FKOt'JAttlWX. Fun lor the Hoodlums! The grand procession last night from the Cbemcketa Hotel to the Opera House re minded the observer of a very large Dein-1 ocratic kite, sporting a very small tail. Carpet-bagger Luttrell lately imported at great expense, from California was the i kite, while Governor Watkiuds followed closely, as master of ceremonies, and act-! ing Gov. Grover and other smaller fish to the number of about fifteen, followed in solemn style. The band employed for the purpose of leading the procession, step ped rapidly, evidently loboring to get out of such company, and consequently reached the Opera House in a briet space of time, where the said carpet-bagger proceeded to disgorge himself f a whole swarm of grasshoppers and of more falsehoods than has ever been pro mulgated in the same length of time in Salem. The result was, a number of res pectable Democrats will rote lor Mr. Warren. Lvttiiei.l, the orator, may be able as Is claimed lor him, to "paint hell on tho skies," but our plain, unassuming candi date, Mr. Warren, talks in such a manner as to be fully understood by the people, and a vlow of his face gives confidence in his Integrity and ability. THK Itl PI Bl.H AM VIITORY In California means a whole volume. It shows that tho people had been just de ceived by such unscrupulous tricksters as Lt ttrell, and move In a positive and un mistakable manner to retrieve what they have lost. The pyramid of Republican vic tories, composed of Ohio, Iowa, Nebraska and California all of which States have gone Republican will be surmounted by the great State of Oregon, after the elec tion on Monday next. Let every Repub lican take wrk tor a watchword until the polls close on Monday night, the 23th lust, m.i'i iivi:n at homk. That Imported; Congressman, f ,uttrell of California, was positively repudiated at the last election In the State where he re sides, and yet he has tho cheek to Insist that lie knows just how the people ot Ore gon ought to vote. Such an exhibition Is well worthy the masterly talent of Gover nor Watklnds as ring master. Rut the tax-payen of Oregon indirectly pay the cost of the fiddling, as it comes from the same corruption lund which sustains act ing Gov. Grover's little Mercury, while a very small ring do the dancing. Will tlie psopte consent to pay for such Importa tions when they know already how to vote? We can estimate from tlie vote on Monday. AVTO.MSHINU II1MRAM'I'. Gen. Brown. In his Albany Iietuocrat, makes some tearful blunders, or mischiev ously misrepresents the Statesman in many ways. The manager of the States man has not even seen Nebraska since 1850, and 1ms been a continual resident of Oregon ever since 1352. If Gen. Brown, or any other man, can make any political capital out of charging us with being a "carpet-bagger," let him do it, but we know the people of Oregon too well to be lieve that he can thus deceive them. M'e might charge tlie General with coming from Central America but probably some statwsrt colored cti3s would come In next day and justly insist on an apology, which of course we could not refue; so if we were disioed to misrepresent tlie General, It would not pay In the outcome. Now come out and deal fairly, and If your resi dence dates earlier than 1532, we will be pleased to give you proper credit. Also, it any of your Democratic friends come here to reside we will welcome tliem, but when your itinerent Luttrells come, pre suming on the ignorance of the people ta tell them bow to vote, we desire that the people fully understand It. nOX.?i J. K. I.ITTBM.I.. A gem surpassing anything, in point ot Interest and elegance, found In Disraeli's "curiosities of literature" appears hi Gov ernor Watkinds Evening Idiot its other name is Mercury last night, and Is signed, "J. K. Luttrell." The literary effort to which we refer should be preserved, that luture generations may use it as a model of politeness, in addressing tlie public, and In order to save it from oblivion we copy it in the Statesman, (tlie only Re publican daily newspaper in the State) where it will last as long as a language is written or printed. When a night of bar barism shall settle upon us as a result of Democratic rule, and not till then the tliousands of tiles of the Statesm an and this brillant effusion of the itinerant Call- fornian, will go down together in neeom tnon grave of forget fulness. Read A Card. There is a charge in the STATESMAN ot this morning that I engineered through Coi-gres an appropriation of $20,000 for the relief of Indians in California and then helped to make way with tlie money. This charge is false in every particular. No such bill was introduced by any one ot the California delegation, and no such bill was passed. I refer tlie public to Sen ators Mitchell and Kelly, and Repitsen tative Nesmith that no such bill was offered or talked of by me. The iournals of the 43d Congress in your State Library will show that no such bill was ever introduced by me or heard of be fore published this morning. The charge is made from whole cloth by the editor of tlie Statesman, whom I now denounce as a willful and malicious liar, who by base falsehoods is seeking to bolster up his waning cause. The charge No. 2 that I had pitched in to the Grangers at Albany is anotlier base falsehood, equally as fale and malicious as the first, a the people irrespective of party who heard me at Albany will testify. I will cnd you on my return to the east a full history ot this grashopper edit or, that the people of Oregon may know his onner history. J. K. I.UTTRELL. Salem, Oregon, Oct. 23. 1875. ll!nilMBI,K Jld RSiAI.ISTS While the liberty of the press should be carefully guarded, in defense of the masses of tlie people, and their business interests, the law should also protect citizens against attacks by irresponsible journalists and orators who frequently concoct schemes to blackmail the best, men and really damage a good man by deceiving those who are not acquainted with him. The following remaiks from the Oregonian, are pointed on this subject: The Evening Journal is not satisfied with the course of Gen. Howard in re questing his superior officer to institute in vestigation of the charges against the mil itary administration in Alaska, and affects to think a more thorough investigation could be had here than at the seat of the supposed trouble. The only reason as signed or intimated for this extraordinary opinion is that "ve (the editor of the Journal) will furnish the proof of every declaration we have made in tbe premi ses." That sounds very well, and might be supposed to mean something, were it not that the Journal has a habit of setting off its reckless adcusations in that way. Just such gasconade as that, only, if pos sible, more positive and peremptory iu its tone, found a place in nearly all the arti cles ot the Journal accusing Thos. H. Cox of stealing the mail pouch. Only give us a chance a half a chance, said the Journal over and over again, and we will show that Cox is the man that got the treasure bag. Well, the Journal was taken at its word. The editor was called before the U. S. Grand Jury, when, lo and behold 1 he did not know a single thing about the matter except that common rumor said a pouch, with some thousands of dollars was missing. That had been known to every body who ever hears the gossip of the street for months, and the Journal man, after all his gasconade, was unable to add one iota of evidence to the street gossip. So all his promises of proof, when put to the test, proved the emptiest of bluster. It would hardly be worth while to expect any better showing in the case. We are satisfied tbe charges ot the Journal are in most ot the cases it mentions wholly false, and in tlie rest of them so exaggerated and -colored as to be essentially untrue. At all events, the investigation should be made on the ground, and in the way prescribed bv law for sueh investigations, in order that it may be thorough in its character and legal nit results. Thk editor of the Statesman is de nounced as a "liar," and Luttrell fifty miles away. WU.ll IIUlKK. One lK'inocrat who Is not very safe on figures estimates Mr. Warren's majority at only one thousand. That will answer our purpose, but for the credit of the State we would be pleased tetter with two thousand majority. FACKTMK'h INIHVIIttAI.. The only Whitney organ In the State says It Is "not ashamed of Its candidate." That joke is too thin, because the editor of that journal certainly has tonus self -respect. He is Joking when he says he is nut "ashamed" of his ridiculous position. Artemns Ward, Kstj., once boasted that his wlfij Betsy Jane, as a paneaklsr, had no ebal. As ft "can!" writer, that Call- forni trrtip lias -no ekal. If evidence of oeing a "uampuooi is eaieuiaieci io trengtheu his presumptuous claims. The Statksmas Is furnished weekly at 3-00 per annum. ? " h UOttEMTEAU LAW. i If you favor liberal measures to aid the poor to homes on the public domain, and to relieve all classes from burthensome taxation, vote lor Mr. Warren. If you endorse the Homestead Law, enacted by a Republican Congress and desire to con tinue Us liberal previsions, vote for Henry Warren. LOW TAX KM. Every property holder should take an ac tive part in the election ou the 25th, as th election of Mr. Warren means economy and low prices. Good government can only be obtained through such men as Hon. Henry Warren. Vote for him and recommend him to your neighbors. JIMtf MEN It H HI T. The solid men of Oregon are In large majority for Mr. Warren, but if tliey fill to go to the polls their wishes may be thvarted, at their own cost, and on ac count of their own negligence. All good men should be at the Kills and see that their neighbors attend, and vote tor Mr. Warren. DESPERATE F.XTHEMlfT. The HilUboro Independent gives the ed itor of the Oregouian about two columns, In which he charges betrayal of lhe Inde pendent party and otlier disreputable po litical conduct. Of course the Independ ent is laboring with all Its might, alone for Its candidate, Mr. Whitney, and attempts to apply a desperate remedy to a desper ate disease. RETRENCHMENT AMI KKFOR.W. The Roscburg riaindoaler says : "Hon. J. K. Lnttrell's speech on economy, re duction of taxes, squandering the people's money, etc., only cost the people of Doug las county between 100 and $150, by stopping the wheels of the eirewit court to let him have free use or the house. This looks like squandering the people's money ! Oh, consistency, thou art a jewel ! KIKE AND EXPLAIN. The California Coigremiaii wIm) secures appropriations for suffering Indians, and then teaches the lesson of "divhlon and silence" to contractors, is a pretty speci men for tlie Lane Democracy to Import as a teacher of honesty of purpose and safe political economy. When he spends a lull hour in talking about some custom house steal, why don't he refer to the matter of beef contracts for supplying Indians and defend himself? DM. W ATTN ANI atOVEK. The manner in which Dr. J. W, Watts, of Lafayette, flayed acting Gov. Grover, in a discussion on the issues of the day, recently, is considered masterly by all who beard the speeches. Gov. Watkinds ought to liave kept that boy at home if he de sired a respectable vote for Mr. Lane. Dr. Watts has made considerable reputation as an orator and thinker during the can vass and larger men. Intellectually, should be sent to his town by Gov. Watkinds, if they expeet to come away whole. WILLAMETTE T ALLEY AND tO.VlT HAII.KOAD. The annual meeting of the stock j&dcr of the Willamette Valley and Coast iiail road was held at tlie Court House in Cor vallis a few dayi since. The principal busi ness transacted was the election of Direct ors for the ensuing year, as follows: J. C. Avery, Chas. V. Hogue, 15. W. Wilson, J. M. Currier, J. R. Itayiey, K. Hartleys, Joseph Hamilton, Hiram Flickingcr and M. Jacobs. The exact deficit ot the $100. 000 was not definitely stated, perhaps tl3,000. This road will lie constructed as soon as sufficient inducements are ollered to make the investment profitable to the capitalist, and not before that date. But it is im portant to tlie whole State that the road be built, and we trust the sclieme ou which the people most interested are now de pending will prove a success. BIXIDIDI.T HI IHOltfll'S. The caruef-bager Luttrell is trying lo rival Nasby as a humorist. Gen. Brown's Democrat, ot Albany, noticing a speech by the said individual Luttrell, at that place, says : Hon. J. K. Luttrell says he ran the first threshing machine on the Pacific coast, and if the Salem Statesman editor doesn't let him alone he will run another kind ot threshing machine when he gets down, there. We don't like that kind of jokes, and, "let him alone." We have no time to be threshed, and do not propose to stay and witness the operation. We will continue to "letjyott alone." POLITICAL MTl-ATION. A "Farmer" of Marion county writes a long letter to a Portland exchange, in which he says : "A very large majority of tlie people all over this broad laud honestly prefer men for either public or private positions of trust, who are of well known temperate habits, while it would make but little dif ference with comparatively tew, indeed, as against such person, to know that he had, or had not been, endorsed by a tem perance convention. Consequently, the temperance movement will baye but very slight effect upon Mr. Warren's vote in this vicinity. He will receive a very lib eral support. It Mr. Whttney's excessive shyness had not prevented him from coming boldly up to the score in the start, the certainty, as the near home stretch, ot his coming in third best, would not now have been quite so apparant. Mr. Lane will lose some votes here that were last year recorded among the unterrified." It is well known here that Mr. Dimick is out of the race, and that his friends will vote for Mr. Warren. While Mr. Warren is a very liberal man in his views, no temperance man can find fault with his Ubjts or BentUjiects. SALEM, OREGON, SAT ELECTIONRETURNS. HEAVY REPUBLICAN GAINS. t IT OF KA1.EM.

Oct. 21 The Commit tee appointed by the Pennsylvania House ot Representatives to investigate tiie affairs of the treaty, have agreed upon a report, stating that their Investigation has develope'd the following facts: That tiom 18GI to 1S74 there appears to be n yearly overcharge on the interest accnu t on tlie public debt, the different Treasur er taking credit for paying more interest than tlie Stale debt owes. Pint aggregate thus .unlawfully taken from the Slate Treasury iu elevc-u years would amount to 11.123.301.
