It is a magnificent ten-page slice t. ami would be a credit to the largest city la the world. It is reported that tbe Oregoniaa will change hands in a short time and become a Republican paper.

There are reports in circulation that the public school funds have been largely wasted for Democratic electioneering purposes, and we will give definite figures from time to time as to real facts. Gov. Watkxds aioreury half way de nies that a ly public school fundi have been wasted in securing the election of Demo Brats to office. Will Col. GUfry or Gov. TVatkincU give us a statement of what has "become of the school rands, since some one of the ring scouts tlte idea that the official report is at all reliable. Tiie' Weekly Standard of Portland is laboring to take rank with the Albany Democrat, the Dallas Itemizer and Orego Ttiau as a lending Ueuaocmtic paper. So&e heavy talent is employed on its editorial, but that does not explain how Demo crats have managed our school funds is Oregon. The editor of the Mountain Sentinel lias tailed to get into a lodge of Grangers and now turns a round and makes a des perate fight oc tbe whole institution. Some people think it does not look well, kat u most be remembered that great sol diers constantly seek a fight of some kind. Tbe Weekly Statesmah is furnished at the low price of $3 per annum. . A mttue college paper published in "Portland has a fearful caricature of what Is supposed to be an Archangel.

When General Babcock was charged with crime the Oregonttn and other little Democratic papers jumped at tbe opportu nity to stab tlie Republican party by proa ecnting the case against him. Tliey alt found him guilty be lore the trial com menced, but when a trial was bad the jury said be was not guilty. Now that same ring of Democrats have tried General Belknap and found him guilty. What a court will fi.nl remains to be sreu.

The Albany Democnt. t)H Dallas ltemiaer. and tlw Orego.iiin, of course, resist tbe temptation to gratify a desire to stab the llcpu'dican party x g-ving Secretary Belknap a trial on receipt ot tlie first intimaiiou ot lii guilt ; . and of course all three of tliee court fotn.d him guilty without tlie least shadow of testimony that would be admit ted iu any court of justice. Tlw States man lias no defence lor any offender, but believes all men should have a reasonable show in a court befare being convicted ot crime by the public press. 'I.Kt S vriLTT MAS EtCAPE."

Xo otlier party In tise Uuittd states ha ever pursued such a course. A Democratic administration allowed tlie ro'ibery of mints and government deposi tariuus without putting for than effort to prevent it, and then smiled npon the plun dering ot our national arms aud nmnUio s of war ; and. Democracy aliutyst every where closed it3 Iv,h atid.eyes to the start ling crimes. The Republican party has been vigilant i. hunting down the rascals who would plunder the Government and thereby retain the coi-fl.leiiee of all good men.

I now propose to show where the true danger to tbe system exists and also tbe danger of the American Republic. There has been a growinst disposi tion among the various religious soci ties, to use their influence to secure teachers whose religious sentiments were in accordance with tbe prevail ing religiour ecntimeLt of tbe com munity in which they were fccijiioyed. Consequently worthy teachers hare been rjccted by certain Schoul Boards, fclniply because the apjdicunt dificred from the Board in hi relig ious views, fiotu what I have hteu able to lecri! this lulialicui religious eiemeiit, arnoiig tbe various Protest nut societies, bus heeu united iu the City of SSew York and sunie other places against the Jiouiau Cutiiolic deiuetit, td the l'rotetaiit Dible (Kng James' tr tntlatiou; bus been into me common sciiuols of Jvew York C:ty, tnucu against the wishes of the Cauioiics, who do not introduce said Dib:e. Consequently the Catholic element, after trying to prevent tbe reading of said book in school, de manded a division of the scbool fund and ike Democracy agreed to do no. Now, I claim that lue School Board baa no more right to introduce tbe Bible into tbe common school than they have to iutioUuee tbe Koran or U:? religious writings of Paine and Voltaire. , The great mistake made by tbe Democracy was their agreeing to a di vision of tbe school fund, instead of a resolution banishing secturianism from the schools. .Experience has proved that wben any religious de nomination becomes the foetcr-chiid of the government it, iu time, be comes corrupt mid intolerant, bonce the great danger of the present age. It is on tUis ground i condemu tbe distribution of tbe Indian Agencies among the various religious nncicties, and un tbe n.iie ground 1 condemn tbe l-is!ture of the .-t it of Orc 5?fn, Iu making the Con aiils College the .Agricultural ( 'ii!ege jf liiisKtate.

This unjust discrimination i a favor of religious societies will have a tend ency to bring the various religious de nominations, on tbe political arena, an event to be dreaded by every lover of liberty throughout the civilised world. The true principles of the American statesman should be, not only to show no political favors to religious socie ties, but, iT possible, keep tbe mem bers of all the various religious socie ties divided in their vote and by this means prevent thou all from guiuitig tbe political ascendency.

Editor Btatksmak; It Is certain, from the numerous letters received In Western Oregon, from persons In tbe States, hat very many persons there are anxiously looking towards the North Western Coast for future homes. But there is bo little known ef this country abroad that strangers are at a great loss for correct informa tion about It- Our siter State, Cali fornia, seems wide awake on the sub ject of extending to people at a dis tance full information about that State. Capitalist are liberal of their moite, lu Hf tiding out printed matter fur free distribution. Aud, from this cause, their increase in population is great. It is lute now to attempt a similar course In Oregon for this year. But one thinir could certainly be done here now, Evety newspaper or otber publication in our State and Wash ington Territory could devote a cer tain Dpane in their columns to tbe dis semination oC matter bearing direct ly upon giving foreigners information of general and local a flu Irs here. Our duty and our interests would tend to wards (hat course. And it does seem to me that we do not extend to immi grants, on their arrival amongst us, that hearty welcome and that infor mation sbout employment, lands to rent or sell, land thut cun be bought of tbe Railroad Company or the State or taken as Homestead or Pre-empt ion parchose that we ithould do. When strangers come here they do not we things just as w e see them. To us all things seem plain and fa cii'.iar. We have our acquaintances and we read our home newspapers and thus become fiviniUur with events here. But etrangers really find out but liittie before they start here aud not finding out much on their arrival, tliey become lonesome, dowu hearted and gloomy. There are a great many Norwegians, Swiss and Germans ar riving tbeae times in Oregon aud Washington Territory. Many of them can fqieak cr understand hut little English. "These people make the very best of citizens. They intend to buy and make homes on our brush aud titnber lands, of which there is so many thousands of acres west of the Cascade mountains. I would refer to the wonderful success of the Aurora Uermau Colony in Marion county, Oregon.

It seems that fr more thaa foer teen years, Professor Gelfling -of Bru enburg, a man well known to tbe lit erary and sclentiflo world, has bad his attention directed to tbs produc tion of animal life by means of gal vanism. This was a daring thought, but the Professor, with a seal and devotion worthy of the old alchemist. In whose footsteps he was following, wrsevervd n.inm olistuclees that would hnve discouraged any man I en sanguine i Imti himself, and at last has had tbe outUfactiou of seeing his patient la trs crowned with suueeas, that will place his name in the foreuitwt rank of thut galaxy of bright stars who preceded him iu tbe great field of disci-very. The Professor's first discovery was to h itch chickens from the eggs by the employment of artificial heat, af ter the manner of tbe Egyptian. In this he was entirely successful and perfected a simple and compact appa ratus to maintain, by means ef hot water, an equal temKratur for any period ef time. This being accomplished, n tutBed bis attention to the production of tbe egg! This was no eusy matter; but alter innumerable experiments, dur ing a period of ten years, the details of which would fill a volume, he suc ceeded in making a correct analysis of an egg. One step was accomplished, but the rnoet difficult was yet to be takeu the niybterious combination of the elements so as to form a com pound similar to the natural article. Encouraged by bis suooess, the doc tor set about his almost hopeless task with a determination to surmount every obstacle, lie felt satisfied that it was omy by means of galvanism that his object could be accomplished and directed all his energies to tbe construction of a battery of constant, equal aud moderate power. After trying nearly every kind of battery iu use, be had almost beiran to despair, when by accident he learned that a constant battery of moderate wer had leen constructed in England by placing a plate of cine and a plate of copier In an ordinary flower pot and keeping tbe earth mniHtened with ammonia. lie immediately constructed such e one. After various modifications ba succeeded in adopting it to his pur ptsse, and had tlie satisfaction, alter nearly fourteen years of almost con stant experiment, of seeing his labors crowned with success and producing from elements a substance similar in all respects to an egg. ' " Now came the exciting period of his labors, to see whether this artific ial egg could be hatched by heat, lie placed It !n hla hatching oven and watched it through a glaa door, scarcely taking time to eat or sleep, ft nt i I lie had seen the success of h Is crnriil experiment. Day after day he watched with pstient assldrty tbe con--ummation of his darling scheme and Ht last had the satisfaction of'wit iieSHtng the consummation of his hopes. Ou tbe twentieth day after p'aeing his egg in the oven, a smalt hole was observed In one side of it and shortly after the bill of a bird was thurst turotigh. Tbe Profesw f was almost wild with delight and several times was on tbe point of breaking tbe egg, to see what kind of a bird he was going to have. Here strained himself, however, and tbe next morning had the satisfaction of finding iu the receiver a live bird, of some unknown species, perfect in its anatomy, but, strange to say, entirely without feathers. "This most aston ishing result," remarks tbe paper from which we quote, "has a I most upset our previous notions of natural philosophy aud the governing laws of animal organism. As we gazed upon tbe featherless bird bopping alxmt and feeding it) ou tbe seeds given it, we began to doubt the reality of our wu existence or that of auything about us." The Professor, urged on by his success, has set about another analysis and has no doubt of being able to produce perfect birds of every k-iown species. Tbe Allgemeine Zeit ung, of the next day, remarks that the whole city is electrified with the development. 19 MARIOS.
