Mr. Sam Parker, Chairman of County Cen
tral Committee called the Convention to erder
and made a most eloquent appeal for peaccl
He exhibited his gray hairs and impressed the
audience with the fact that he never Voted any
thing bet a Democratic ticket, and in the name
of tho American Eagle which is about to perch
upon Democratic banners, he called loudly for
peace. The pipe ef peace which he offered was
taken in the following manner. One ring offer
ed the name of Col. Gilfry for temporary chair
man and, immediately some venerable looking
individual looking through two pain nf e n i,
proposed the name of John F. Miller, This
looked like a literal smashing of the pipe of
peace offered by Uncle Sam Parker. Some con
servative individual then nominated Mr. Lute
Savage, whereupon Gov.Watkinds withdrew the
name of Col. Gilfry and the name of Gen. Miller
was then withdiawri;wrp'i left ti c name of Mr,
Savage alone in nomiiMiiou, He was of course
elected unanimously, but it was evident that the
two great factions like the wife of Tom. 0'shan
ter, were nursing theirwrath to" keep it warm."
The chairman "scittcred" terribly around the
room and a delegate desiring to make a motion
was, in many cases compelled to hunt him up
in the audience. He was very active but con
servative in making up committees. The dele
gates sat uneasily in their seats. The two great
oontestanuWatkindu and Walton, loading the
two wings of the party reminded the witness of
"two broad suns their shields, blazed opposite,
while expectation stood in horor."
The first test vote was takati oh tlie question
of whether Myers or Mr.1 -.menld act as as
sistant tomporary secretary, In which Gov. Wat
kinds "?ot away with" his opposition by a ma
jority of three. The Gov. was elated and his
followers cheered. Soveral committees were
appointed and the convention adjourned until 2
e'doclt p. x. . ' i
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The Legislative Hill was crowded with del
egates and outsiders before tho hour of conven
ing the afteroon session. It was decorated in a
manner most striking to every beholder. Ever
greens spread oat in festooning badly withered,
which waa considered emblematical of the
present condition of the Democratic party in
Marion county.
At the appointed time the chairman appc-aret
and called the house to order. He announced
that reports of committees were in order. After
waiting for some time, it was announced that
the committee on credentials was not ready to
repart, and mjtion to take recess 20 minutes,
carried.
A motion was made that the convention ad
journ to the Opera House.on which the two wings
disagreed. A vote was taken and announced
which was understood to be favorable, when
Judge Walton's side of the house cheered.
When it was urged that there was not room for
tho crowd in Legislative Hall, as a reason why
tl.6 convention should adjourn to the Opera
House, the Governor remarked, "let the crowd
stay out.."
' The chair announced privately that the vote
stood the other way when the Governor's crowd
raised a hearty etioer and resumed their old
seats. The '
COMMITTEE ON. CREDENTIALS
Reported, showing that it was in the interest of
the Governor and against Judge Wilton. The
Judge made no effort to secure admission of his
delegation from East Salem, Mr. Hutton
moved,that a special committje be appointed to
investigate the Eist Salem "oupleasantnesa."
The chair ruled it out of order, and left the
Walton delegation out in the cold.
THE DELEGATES
Compotdug the convention were in the main
gxid looking men. Those ou the Governor's
side of ihe house showjd pontive determina
tion and a tpnuine devotion to their leader, like
the "old guards" looking up to Napoleon. On
the other hand equal devotion to Judge Walton
and determination of purpose was apparent on
every countenance. Tne result of the forenoon
performance was calculated to dampen the ar
dor of new recruits, but Judge Walton had re
assured his adherents aud they appeared like
true and hied political soldiers, who would not
be iuduced to abandon the fioldbecause of a trif
ling repulse.
The oouimiteeon platform condemned Presi
dent Grant and all his appointees as thieves.
Report adopted.
Easy sailing followed, when ono of the Gov
ernor's clan moved that the nominations be
made viva voce.
For Coroner Dr. A. M. Bolt.
For Surveyor-Soth It. Hammer.
. For School Superintendent Wm. Keyser.
For Cosuty Coinmissioners-Charles Thomas
aud Jerome Jackson. ,
for Treasurer Samuel Parker. !
For Assessor E. T. Perkins.

For Sheriff P. K. Murphy.
For BepresentativesF. X. Mathiea, John
Savage, J. M. Kitchen, J. M. Scott, Jacob Me-
Clane, D, II. Murphy. '
, Committees were then appointed which were
of no cousequence and we have not space fur
them to-day. . ' " ' , '. , 7
'',""', INCIDENTS.
The Qoernor had within convenient prox
imity his motion makers and seconds, and the
utmost harmony prevailed, except when some
one who wauled it understood that be was a
delegate would make a motion outside of the
plau agreed upon, when the leader would mod
eitlv invite him to withdraw it. .
A raw reoruit from Champoeg nominated the
Governor for some place ou the ticket, the Gov
ernor declined, remarking that he was not a
candidate for offioj. Tlie young man took the
hint rud withdrew his motion, closing up his
part of the performance. It was fully under
stood before the close, that the convention was
.alo by the said William, aud that he owned
and controlled it.
Why such a joke should be perpetrated on
Jiulgo Ham moras to nominate him for County
Surveyor, even the Governor cannot explain,
whon it is so well known that the Judge is an
uncompromising Republican. Thus endeth the
latest Democratic farco.
HIU tlURUOM I'KIISBl liBV
The Oregonian ' says : The Presbytery
of Oregon convened in the Presbyterian
Church at 9 A. M. yesterday, and spent one hour
in devotional exercises. These were character
ized by a good degroo of fervor and zeal, and
shewed that the hearts ot those present were
alive to the importance of their work.
At the end of the hour devoted to these exer
cises, the Presbytery was called to order by the
Moderator, and the regular business of the
session was taken up.
Among those present was a large sprinkling
of cleigy belonging to other denominations. To
these were extoudod the privileges of the floct
by a vote of the Prcsbttery.
Wl.ile the ranks of the Presbytery were de
pleted by the removal of three ministers to
other fields in distant parts ot the country
(Revs, A. H. Bates, D. K. llesbit and George
Ainslie) , they were materially strengthened by
the addition of two youngaud vigorous men
Bov. T. F. Knowles and Bev. H. P. Pock, who
have already entered upon their labors in Cor
vallis and Salem,
The general report of the ministers in regard
to their work was hopeful and cheering. Quite
an advance seems to have been made among the
Indians on the Fuyallup reservation. A church
of 89 members and two elders was reported, all
Indians but five ; also a Sunday School of 100

A report was introduced looking to tha erec
tion of a new syuod, to be called the synod of
tho Columbia. . This would involve tho divis
ion of the present Presbytery of Oregon, con
sisting of Washington and Idaho territories ai.d
the State of Oregon, into three or more Pres
byteries, which, taken together, would com
prise the new synod,
ltev. A. L. Liudsley was chosen comm ission-
er to the general assembly, to meet on thel8thof
Mavin Brooklyn, New York ; also Thomas M,
Iteed of Olympil as lay delegate.
Tha sermon in the oveni ig by liev. 'l.F,
Knowles, of Corvallij, received the undvidtd
and unflagging attention of the audience to ti e
end the most satisfactory commendation
speaker can receive.
At the close of "his service reports in regard
tothesfte of religion iu the churches were
made by ministers aud elders. The interest in
these excercises was very grjatly enhanced by
thO introduction to the Presbytery of an Indi
an and his wife from the Puyallup reservation,
who spoke through an interpreter, and ex
pressed the peace and joy they experienced ia
tlie service of Christ, thoir determination to
live for Him, and their sincere thankfulness
for favors and help given them by Dr. Lindsley
and the good people of kis church in Portland.
They will speak more at length through an in
terpreter at the close of s.-rmon this evening.
The timo of preaoliiug this evening is chang
ed to 7 o'clock, in order to accommodate those
who wish to be present at other places during
the evening. Sermon by Kev. if. P. Peek, of
Salem. A cordial mviHtian in extended to all,

Text : " And Elijah said unto them, take tlie
prophets of Baal ; let pot one of them escape.
And they took them : and Elijah brought them
down to the brook Kishou, and slew them
there."
The laws of God requires that men should
sometimes use severity.
Patient instruction and loving pursuasicn"
will always be the main influence iu religion.
But in communities there are some abandoned
and desperate persons who cannot be reached in
that way aud then the safety of tho people re
quires that force should be used. That is what
governments are for ; " not a terror to good
works, but to the evil ;" the magistrate " is the
servant of God.a reveuger to ex.'Ciito wrath up
on him that doetb evil." i
Jehovah's law commanded idolaters to be put
to death ; but instead of doing it, King Ahab
allowed his queen Jezebel to feed and patronize
four hundred and fifty vile priests of Baal, and
that, too, in a time of famine, brought ou by
that very sin i Then God raised up a plain.pri
vite citizen, from the mountains of Gilead,
who appealed directly to the people, caused
them to execute the laws of God, aud so the
curse and famine were removed.
Some of our people are wickedly asking to
have the Centennial grounds open upon the
Sabbath, and wme have even proposed to bring
it before Congress, and they may do it ; but if
our rulers should do that great, national wick
ediiBsa, they will brine a curse, a id will evince
the spirit ot Ahab ana Jezebel, rather than luat

WHAT AKVl t
If woman is woman's judge, why must man
intefere?
Man's duty is woman to revere, ,
"There are certain points of good manners,"
says Oregon Churchman, "in which women fail,
which yet seem to have been greatly overlooked
by their censors." This brief clause tellST one
imuiedately that here is a species of the male
pursuaaion, who puts hiniHelf up as a oritic
upon woman's ways, and that he intends irorn
tne very start to give tnem a sound, but un
called for lecture: and he goes on to say, "one
woman who behaves badly, attracts more atten
tion than ninety-nine well dis;osed." Why
should well bred people allow their attention to
be attracted by an til bred person? First of all
whose attention is attracted, ladies or men's?
and if man's, is he not then as ill bred as tha
woman? "In connection with our schools there
is springing up a growth of uneracefulness and
indelicacy; which goes far towards neutralizing

more the fault of the ungovernable "Youne
America" of the present age, than the pretty
gentle-faced, intelligent looking, well dressed,
typical American girl," who he aays will "nil
a car with idle, boisterous, vulgar chatter."
Who is this man who stands UD so boldlv con
demning the schools of the present day, and
calling innocent school girl prattle, "rude and
wv.biv.vuo. ' " .vuiB.a, o,u.g at ' J willlUUIa
expression, is "too far fetched." "f hey will bear
without blinding the eyes of all their lellow
passengers," now is it well bred of the " fellow
passengers" to gaze without scruple at some
dirty school girls, joyous from tho days labor.
"On would sometimes wish that our far famed
schools would stop the algpbra, stop their latin,
stop their philosophies, and give undivided at
teution to teaching their pupils how to talk, if
it may not be possiblo to make them talk sense,
but surely they can be made to talk more grace
fully." Why is all this addressed to the girls f
1 wondor how much more common sense the
school boys of to-day can talk, than the girls 1
Editor Churchman adds this beautiful troth :
"Delicacy is not a thing which can be lost and
found." The aforesaid gentleman has lost some
thing, and though he seek, he cannot fiud. "It
is the first duty of woman to be a lady," and I
will just complete that sentence for Ed.Chnrch
mau, it is man's first duty to be a gentleman ;
this Bame man continues in his little articla on,
'good manners." "The woman who says this
is making much ado about nothing, is the wo
man who will accost you by name when you en
ter a car, in a tono which introduces you to eve
ry person in it aud makes you wish the part she
occupies had run off tlie track." I came to this
couelusiou-after reading the above paragraph,
that the first part was written purposely to keep
the good women from openingthoir mouths, in
defense of themselves, but they should be
considered as actiug in a rude and unladylike
mariner; there is no true lady but will step
Doiaiy iurwara ana proclaim the unjust
ness of an article such as the above, which so
wrongfully condemns her ser.and she is "a lady
for a'that.? Why-should any gentleman be
ashamed of his name? and why should any lady
or gentleman have an acquaintance whom they
would just as leave have "smashed up" by tha
cars ? ........
"Gi.od breeding is good sense, and bad man
ners in women is immorality," so says tha.
Churchman. The same is as applicable to man
as to woman, and perhaps more bo.
"Self possessed, aggressive coarseness of de
meanor, merits that mild form of restraint
called imprisonment for life." Thus endeth
editor Churchman's little article on "Good
Manners," without a word of criticism on the
manners of men and boys. Ooly-think for a
moment this man, whoever he may be, wantd
all women and girls "imprisoned for life," who
do not drop their pretty eye-lashes, blush and
look perfectly silly on thu whole, whenever
-any ono chances to gaze upon their beautiful
leatures. 1C is a very great blessing Mr.
Churchman is not Goveruer of the State or
President of Willamette University, for if ho
was, he would place all tho pretty girls (and tha
University has many) in dungeons until they
could lsarn to talk gracefully, for he seems to
think it doubtful if they over could be taught
any sense.
If there were no other demoralizing effects up
on our schools, than the girls of the present
day, we would see tho schools throughout the
length and breadth of our beautiful country
occupying such an exalted position their tower
ing pinnacles would glisten iu the azure dome
ol heaven above. If there is any one on this
grand old earth who need to be taught common
sense, it is not the schoolgirls. -
I wouli advise the editor of the Oregon
Churchman, to compare tho standing of tha
school boys with that of the girls, and then sect
if he.can so sarcasticclly say "teach school girls
of the present age common sense."
What whit would tha schools be without girls.
With their pretty waysrpretty faces and glossy
' curls;
Mothers would weep because of their toys rud
' ; ways, .
Add the boys poor dears would mourn the
rest ot their days:
All can plainly see,
t ne scnoois are governed just as tney should be;
While all ia peace let no one intrude.
Else they might be called "ungraceful and
rude."

When a medicine will promptly cure suoh tor

doubt its wonderful virtues? Dr. Pierce, how
ever does not place his Gtdden Medical Dis
covery in the catalogue of quack patent nos
trums uy reooiuiueuuuig u to uore every Disor
der, uur does he so recommend it; but what he
does claim is this, that there is but una form oi
blood disease that it will not cure, and that dis
ease is csnaar. He does not recommend his dis
covery for that disease, yet ho knows it to be
the most searching blood cle.aiser yet discovered
and that it will free the blood and system of all
o.'ier known blood poisons, be they animal,
vegotsble or mineral. The Golden 'Discovery
is warranted by him to cure the worst forms of
Skin Diseases, as all terms of blotches, pimples
aud eruptions, also all glandular swellings, andt
tlie worst lei in of scrofulous aud ulcerated
sores of neck, legs or other parts, and all scrof
ulous and ulcerated dieases of the bones, as
white swellings, fover sores, hip, joint and spi
nal diseases; all of which belong to scrofulous
diseases.
