EAST PORTLAND, OliEGOJI. The election of Mr. Garfield as delegate to Congress from Washington. Territory, under all the circumstances, is a signal illustration of what may be accomplished by earnest, determined work, and we con less that we are agreeably disappointed at tho result. "We were inclined to the opinion that the Republican party had a majority of the legal voters of that terri tory : but the opposition which confront ed Mr. Garfield at the onset of the cam paign was enough to appal any but the do ton t heart. Besides the Democratic party, properly speaVing, there appeared to be a wide spread disalTection among Republicans, and thKmdicatioiis were that it would be impossible- unite the party in support of the nomine". Put as the canvass pro gressed it became evident that the disaf o lection in the parly Vv-as mostly on the surface, and extended but little beyond t. nnv.hil ciioue." many of whom had been raised from the obscurity to which they belong, and to which they will soon return by the man whom they t reach er- ously conspirci to defeat. Appreciating hi superior ability, and jealou3 of his personal popularity, they determined, by the most cowardly means ever resorted to in political life, to defeat his election. The extent of this treachery is hardly yet known, but enough is knowu to consign a majority of the Federal appointees to an eternity of. infamy. They may as well commence making up their accounts at once, for the day of settlement is at hand. The election of Mr. Gar tie Ul under these circumstances, is a triumphant v'uli 6ation of his character, and is the result, in a very great measure, of his own per sonal exertions. Seeing what he had to moot, bo " rolled ur his sleeves and went to work," and his speeches among the people appear to have been a succession of triumphs. From, the first day of the canvass his prospects brightened, until election day, when the people, in thunder tones, spoke the verdict which seals the doom of Democracy and treachery, in Washington Territory. In striking contrast to the conduct of the official clioue was the action of Hon. Ih.wooD Evax.s, who, it will be remember ed was nominated by President Grant, as Associate Judge, in Washington Territory, but who wdfc rejected by the Senate, for supposed sympathy with the Johnson Democracy. Forgetting this severe re buff, Mr. Evans worked with a will for the election of Mr. Garfield, showing that whatever may have been his short com ings in the past, he was willing to show his faith by his works. Indeed the entire party went to work, and we dare say will continue to work until the newly appointed Federal officials, who have betrayed their triends, are re moved from ojlicc ! and replaced by bet ter men. Let Gov. Flanders, Marshall llitz, Judge Dennison, Assessor Howe, Collector Wilson, and any others irho have betrayed, their parly feel the weight of the in fluence which has elected Hon. Salucius Garfield as Delegate to Congress, in spite of their treachery. SPECS" OP WAR, We have been anticipating with pleas ure, the accomplishment of this great un dertaking. And now the deed is done. The last rail has been laid, the last spike driven. The iron-horse has traversed the continent from Sacramento to the modern Athens. On the 10th of May. a little more than four years ago, Irom the day ground was broken the strokes of the hammer were heard from one side of the continent to the other, as the work was finished. We can but regard this as the eighth wonder of the modern world. Difficulties which would have seemed in surmountable in the infancy of railroads have vanished. The track which has giv nn fm rnnntrv inter-oceanic communica tion, and bound together its remotest nnrfa with bands of iron, has found its way over and through the mountains, climbing up their rugged sides or tunnel ing its way through the rocks, tilling up or bridging over deep canyons stretching across hitherto unknown sections of coun try supposed to be, in the geographies of our childhood, trackless deserts, until it has united the fresh and bonyant civiliza tion of remote west, with the more staid civilization of the east. How well the work has been done, it is not for us to judge. It has unquestionably been the object of the companies who have had it in charge, to bring their lines together as soon as possible. And in doing this, they have no more than kept space with the im patience of the people. There can be no doubt that much of the work has been done to serve a temporary purpose, but if the communication which has been es tablished can be maintained, we can feel that we have a Pacific railroad, and that in due time all defects in the construction of the read will be remedied. Let us hope that those in charge will exercise such care as to avoid those terrible acci dents which are not unfrerpient upon the opening of new lines. We have not the time, nor space, r.or means at hand, to in vestigate the swindle said to have been perpetrated upon tho government by those connected with this enterprise. There is such joy in view of its comple tion, among the people, that they feel al most ready to forgive those who have ' stolen from the pockets of so intangible a person as Uncle Sam.' Unlike other railroad enterprises in this country, this has been almost exclusively under gov ernment patronage. It has been a work of national and not of local interest, and therefore of national pride. Hitherto railroads have been built when the growth of communities has demanded them, and there has been sufficient wealth among individuals to carry forward the work. In this case, the lines starting from points of civilization have been run G 0 General Johnson, of the McMinnville ntrier, and the "impractical schoolmas ter" of the Portland Herald, are just now o-.vwed in a spirited discussion of the " time honored principles." The General does not appear disposed to submit meek ly ' to certain theories advanced by the school master, and has declared that cer tain doctrines of the Herald are not found in his copy of the Democratic Decal ogue, in reply to which the school-master reads the General a lecture, and with a supercilious air " kicks him out" of the party. 3 hit the General coraes back at the pedagogue in such a style as to lead to the conclusion that the rod and ferule have lost all their terrors for him. This controversy derives its principal interest from the fact that each party claims to represent the " views' of the Democratic party both are steering for the Democratic paradise, but disagree as to the proper channel ; both are prescrib ing for the same patient, but one insists that the case requires a strong dose of lepudialion, while the other thinks a Chinese bath will answer the purpose bet ter, with ait occasional dose of moonshine in homeopathic quantities. In this con troversy we think the General has de cidedly the advantage. The school master exhibits the most check the Gen eral the most pluck; The sehool-rnaster the most tact; the General the most brains: The school master the most Democraev the General, the most decency. The out into the wilderness opening up hither to unexplored sections for purposes of settlement. We may expect ere long re see a belt of population extending sever al miles in either direction from the rail road line and reaching across the entire country. Drigham Young has already shown us what can be done by means of irrigation in reclaiming the -wilderness, ami we shall not be surprised to see the " Great American Desert" of our child hood concord with towns and cities, and bringing forth the productions of the earth for the sustenance of a teeming pop ulation. It is hardiy possible to enumerate all the advantages that will accrue to the world at large, to the people of this coun try, and especially of this coast by the. opening of this road. These are of a po litical, commercial, industrial and social character. Howies in his work. Our New West," speaks of meeting people all along the overland route, who were waiting anxiously for the coming of the cars, because they wanted to go nome. Some were dissatisfied and wished to re turn east to remain. Others wished to visit their old homes, and return again to their new ones. Yet among all who had emigrated from the Eastern States and left friends behind them there was an earnest desire for u closer connection with their old homes. Is it not true that there are thousands of families scattered over this coast, from the Eastern States that have cherished the feeling that when their fortunes were made they would re turn to their former homes and enjoy them, who, nowtthat the distance in time has been reduced to a narrow Space, will feel that they are so closely connected with the cast that they can content them selves to remain where they are. build up homes, surround themselves with those things which tend to buildup, and refine society and thus make their western homes equal or superior to their Eastern ones. The railroad will do more to bring about this result than all other influences combined. The industrial and especially the min ing interests upon this coast will receive a new impetus. It is in consequence of these interests that the road has been so rapidly completed. And now there will be a revolutionary influence. Mining must have been slow and expensive, when all the machinery had to be carried six thou sand miles by water, and then three or four hundred miles inland over rough mountain roads, by means of rude contriv ances for carriages, in many instances. Now the railroad can take everything that is required in short time from the machine shops of the east. Enterprise will be quickened, the work will be more thoroughly and systematically per formed. The greatest "advantages how ever are those" which will accrue to the commerce, not only of our own country, but of the whole " worid. Though these advantages industry Trill also be quicken ed. The pas-age to Asia- from our East erd ports and irom Europe, will be much shortened. This work is a long step in the direction of making the whole world neighbors With the completion of the Sues canal we shall have rapid steam communication with every important na tion on the globe. And this will form a new safeguard against national .disorder and consequent war. In a political point The Iriends of East Portland bsgin to feel an air of conSdence m the place which is truly refreshing, and their hopes are well founded. The fact that East Portland has already made astonishing progress is readily observed by visitors to the place, and what is to follow may easily be imagined fy those who in the least realize the age in which we live. Enterprise and Progress are the watch words, and the Sentinels at East Portland are on duty. We found ourself in that place j cue day last week, and being surrounded by much that contributes to the building of an important city, we made memorandums and here give our readers a faint glimpse of the promising town. The situation of East Portland, on the right bank of the river opposite her big sister, Portland-on-Wallamet, is so well known that we need scarcely refer to the fact of its many advantages, in a commercial way, so in order to be as brief as possible we will proceed to decipher the hastily made moms, above ref-.-n ed to. The first thing which attracted onr eye af ter leaving the Portland Ferry boat, at the East Portland landing, was the existence e-t the Drdies, Umatilla and Salt Lake telegraph line. The chief attraction a few Avceks later will be the Oregon Central Railroad. Hie next present indication of prosperity on the most direct route, was the East Portland Bank, .lames Ik Stephens President, Dr. A. SI. Loryea and II. Logan Tellers, Hamilton Boyd Secretary, This institution is in a new building of ample dimensions, is supplied with proper safes, is furui-hed handsomely, and wears a business like appearance not or dinary for small towns we should be proud of such a bank in Oregon City. The busi ness transactions at this bank, although so recently established, show that it is to per form an important part in the progress of the place The East Portland Homestead Asso ciation will soon be prepared to dispose of lots and blocks on the Stephens' Addition to East Portland, on one, two, or three year's time, and money will be advanced to parties purchasing, to assist them in building upon the lots, the principal to be paid back in monthly instalments. This plan will rapidly increase the number of actual residents at East Portland. Dr. Loryea, we presume, is amongst the originators of this movement as he has had the plan m view for several years, to our knowledge, and his experience observation and enterprise, will greatly fa cilitate matters . . .Property in East Portland is steadily advancing in price and at pres ent rates purchasers are sure of good interest on ari investment, inasmuch as there can no longer be a doubt in the minds of any with respect to the sneedv construction of the Oregon Central Railroad. Pen. Holladiiy & Co., contractors, have large real estate inter ests at East Portland, and the Railroad Com pany have decided to construct an extensive wharf on that side, and for such purpose sev eral blocks of land, adjacent to the river, have been secured. The Company's car and machine shops, which at present are some considerable distance from the river, in the vicinity of the place where the first ground was broken for the road in April of last year, will anon be moved to the river bank. . . .The Oregon Asvlum for the; Insane, Dr. J. C. Hawthorne proprietor, is located on one of the finest sites in Oregon, at East. Portland. There are at this time one handre d'patien ts in the institution. Miss Dix, the philanthropist, paid the Asylum a visit a few days before wo were in East Portland, and she pronounc ed it tb.e finest private establishment she had ever vUited. . . .The Erooklyn Flouring mill, and three saw mills, are located upon the addition of Mr. Stephens, nnd there is, near by, a water-power equal to any in Oregon, excepting, that at this city, which is not equalled, in the entire circuit of the globe. Mr. Stephens will soon visit the Atlantic States, and it is his intention while in the east to purchas3 pipe for the introduction of gas and water, to the entire place We found several flourishing Orders in existence in East Portland, and visited Washington (Masonic) Lodge, U.

If nothing happens more than ordinary, Oregon will have 3,000,000 bushels for export this fall. The crop in California is not heavy the crop in Europe is light the United Kingdoms are already asking for grain. The New York produce market is re ported very quiet and steady at SI 05, 1 70 ; spring wheat very active and ad vancing. Flour Nominal. Liverpool wheat 0s 5d. Prices in Oregon remain nominal for most kinds of produce, but if the markets below continue steady, even, at present rates, advances are certain. tfr-t O When at Portland last week wc observ ed a massive grain wagon, under the shed ol a wagon shop, which had been constructed for a tanner in tne San ,!osc alley, tanior nia.

The wheels of this vehicle are about six feet in diameter; tire '.!? inches whie by 1 inch thick ; felines :!" inches deep ; spokes' .1 inches broad.

On Saturday last the scholars of the Episcopal Sabbath School of this- city, together with the schools of PorOand, Milwankie and Vancouver, enjoyed a pic nic at pleasant drove. The ride was free by the steamer Senator, and the Pastors and Superintendents express thanks for the favor, and take pleasure also an ac knowledging the uniform courtesy and kindness of the officers of the steamer on that occasion. It is not astonishing that Democrats who talk loud against Chinese employees. ar their almost constant employers be cause Democracy is composed of strange inconsistences.
