o oThe Close of the Year
o-.
With the last issue it was a year since
the ExTEiirniSK passed into the hands of
the Democracy. Tor most of this time it
was conducted in an able manner by
Judge McKenney. About four months
ago the present editor took charge of it.
ami we leave the verdict of its abilities
since that time with the patrons. We will
simply stale, that we have heard and re
ceived most Catering compliments, both
tf the patrons and Democratic papers.
The business of the paper is self-supporting,
and daily increasing. The paper i-S
now near the close of its fourth year, and
from j past success and its present in
creasing patronage, it cannot be question
ed as to its peni?anency. While we do
not complain for want of support, we be
lieve there are many Democrats in this
county who are not on our subscription
list. It is a paramount duty which every
Democrat owes to his party to support his
local paper, and the more liberal that sup- ;
port is, tile better will be the paper and
greater w"Jl be its influence. We hope
that our support will enable us to enlarge
and otherwise impros? the paper within
the present year. He have embanced in
the enterprise with a view ot making it
permanent, and we assure our patrons
that nothing will be left undone on our
part to make the Extkiu'iitsk a first-class
local paper, and while our patrons cannot
expect quite as much reading matter as
from a metropolitan journal, we expect to
make up that deficit in quality, and inat-
ter which mostly concerns the citixens of
their immediate neighborhood. We hope
that every Democrat and liberal minded
O opponent in our county will be enrolled
on our subscription list this year. A pa
per Ls not simply beneficial to the party
in whose interest it labors, but its influ
ence is for the good of all. A well sus
tained local paper aids in many other re
ppects besides politically. It, brings the
town and county to the views of persons
abroad; it induces persons to settle in our
midst, thus increasing the value of prop
erty, in short, a local paper is a represen
tative of the people's interests abroad.
Let the citizens of Clackamas county and
or Oregon City especially, consult their
true interestsQtnd give their local paper a
liberal snpport.
The KxTEiiPiusc will contain full and
complete proceedings of our next Legis
lature, and also of the State Fair. If the
space occupied by these proceeding should
crowd upon other matter, we shall issue a
gTjppleir.enf? tlms giving our patrons near
double tfce amount of reading during the
session than they hare heretofore bad.
without extra expense to our readers.
We believe that the pre-pay system is
t!best fur both patrons and publisher,
yet it is almost impossible to enforce it
without inconvenience to many good and
responsible persons. The system has not !
heretofore been adhered to 07 fhe former :
proprietors, and regarding our subscrib
ers as good and willing to pay when it is
convenient, we will pursue the same poli
cy of our predecessors. We will, how
ever, give an inducement to patrons to
pay in advance. All subscriptions paid
in advance will be charged at the rate of
$2 ,50 per annum ; if paid within the
year, S3 00. All persons whose subscrip
tion expiied with the last issue, if they
pay the same by the 1st of September,
will only be charged advanced rates. This
we believe should be enough inducement
for all pay in advance if possible.
There are quite a number of our sub
scribers who are indebted for their past
year's subscription. We hope they will
nuke immediate payment of the same to
John Myers, Esq.. or to us.
No PouTtes. A friend informs us that

The Labor Question.
The Radicals In the East hare finally
had a taste of the beauties of the China
men, and consequently this question has
assumed a national aspect, and Labor Cn- j
ions are being formed wherever the at
tempt has been made 1o introduce this
new system of slavery. New England
was anxious to engage in a war for the
abolishment of African slavery, but the
sound of war has scarcely passed away,
when we find her engaged in introducing
a now slavery in he r midst Chinese. The
laboring men of the East are determined
to resist this system of slavery, and no i
sooner do we see that the Radicals will
meet with a deserved defeat if the white
laborers are not protected, than a few of
the organs of that parts- ostensibly dis
countenance their emigration in their own
midst, yet not one act has that party done
to prevent their coming to this coast, but
on the contrary, they have piven them '
every facility for cheap importations, and
so legislated as to prevent a State from
keeping them out. The party in power
disclaims that they are in favor of coolie
labor, yet they have turned 'a deaf ear to
the oppeals made by the laboring men on
this coast. An occasional Radical paper
disapproves of this class of slaves coming
here, but those who represent the capital
ists, heartily endorse Chinese slavery and
regard their coming as of great benefit.
The capitalists have thus far controlled
Congress in their interests and they will
be able to continue their control, and the
Chinese slave labor system will be fasten
ed upon the country unless active and
determined steps are taken by the labor
ing classes to prevent it.
California has taken her stand against
a further importation of Chinese, and we
notice that organizations are being formed
to drive out of that State those now there,
and in order to carry out this object to re
sort to force if necessary. We believe
that similar organizations should be form
ed in this State. If they are driven from
California, many of them will come to
this State, and we have already too many
of these rut-eating heathens here. If the
Government will not protect the laboring
classes the verv substance ot the Gov
ernment it is a duty which they owe to
themselves and ftrnilies to protect their
rights at all hazards. While we are in
favor of legitimate and lawful means to
obtain that protection which the Govern
ment owes to every citizen alike, the
maintenance of . that peace may become
cowardice, unworthy of an American citi
zen. These rat-eaters aie slaves, and not
one out of a hundred on this coast is tree.
In our own town here we are submitting
to a complete system of slave labor. The
Woolen Manufacturing Company have
about seventy-five slaves employed, and
these slaves took the places of free white
men. Not one cent of the money which
they earn is paid to them in person. All
is forwarded by the Company to their
master in San Francisco. Why. oppose
African slavery and allow Chinese slavery
to exist in a State' which prohibited the
right of the Southern people to bring
with them and hoid in servitude what was
recognized as legal pror erty in parts of
our country ? Why tax the people of this
country to pay for a war which was waged
for the abolition of African slavery and
now allow to exist a Chinese slavery on
soil which has always prohibited slavery?
Where is the consistency of such a policy ?
Yet we find many who were opposed to
Southern slavery favoring this Chinese
slavery, and have not o ie word of coin-
plaint to make aj. a nst the .'js'ern of sla
very no v existing on this coast, and the
moral Sta e of" Massachusetts is among
the first to ;.ttcmpt to introduce it.
We believe the time has come that Ore
gon, as a State, should take an active and
decisive step in favor of t-jecting these
slaves from her borders, and that Labor
Unions should be organized to enuoiu-age
and aid the incoming State authorities in
protecting the rights and interests of the
laboring classes. There is no use in de
laying this mat er with the hope that the
Federal Government will interfere in be
half of the white laborers ; their repeated
petitions have been treated with contempt,
and their only safety now is their own
manhood. If white men are willing to
place themselves in competition with the
Chinese slaves, we certainly can stand it.
if they can. Put the time is not far in the
future when they will regret that they did
not use their fttmost efforts to keep these
rat-eatinir slaves out of the ennntrr nr
CVen permitting those now here to remain.

Senatorial Matters.
The Radical editors are still devoting
their time and energies in making a U. S.
Sonntnr find thut Senator to be Gro. II.
Williams. They cannot realize the fact
that this demagogue was as mucti m me
late contest -as though bis name had
been printed on the tickets, and also
that he svns defeated. Ben. Ilol
laday staked his all with the success of
Geo. II. Williams, and he. too, was de
feated by the voies of an honest people.
Mr. Ilolladay procured music and took
one of his steamers, and also the Cascade
was chartered, to go down the river and
meet the dead'' Senator. It should be
a meeting and reception of mourning, as
the places which once knew this dema
gogue will soon know him no more. All
that will be left of him is the infamy which
he has perpetrated in his six ears' Sena
torial career, which is sufficient to curse
him forever. Before six more years huvt
passed away. lie will regret that he has
ever disgraced the people of Oregon by
casting his votes for the infamous acts of
the Radicals, some ot which he bus ihe
'impudence to claim auihoiship ot. Iii.s
every act for the past three years has been
with the ultraists in the Senate, with the
j exception ot the proportion toeiifrunclii.se
he Chinese ; on this question he voted
against that people becoming citizens. It
would have been a hard matter for a man
to occupy a seat in the Senate six years
and not cast one vote that his constituents
could endorse. But now the question is.
why does Den. Ilolladay. Mr. Scott, and
even the ex-policeman at Et.gene City,
desire him to be returned to the Senate?
Simply because he has served them and
paid for their services to return him. He
has been their pliant tool in the Senate,
and this is why they wish birn to be re
turned. It is useless, however, for these
individuals to exhibit so much toadyism
to Williams. Meeting him with brass
bands and chartered steamers will avail
nothing. He stands condemned, and no
amount of trumpeiy and show can restore
him to the coveted place. We would ad
vise our Radical friends to devote their
time and space for the next campaign,
which they said they had commenced im
mediately after the late election, but we
find that they are doing nothing but mak
ing a U. S. Senator, in which they have no
interest and cannot effect anything. When
the Legislature meets, they will select a
worthy successor to this predecessor, ir.d
drums and bands will not be able to brine
forth the defunct and dead (politically)
Geo. II. Williams. It is useless for us to
devote any further space to this Senatorial
carcass, as he is passed resurrection.
Deal with his i:kxi i.y.--'J he late Rad
ical candidate for State Printer deserves
to be pitied. His defeat for that office was
very hard, but when it also brought de
ieat to his master, Geo. H. Williams, who
had at one time procured him the appoint
ment at Washington as door-keeper, and
afterward on the police with niggers, it
was almost too much for him to bear up
under. One half ol his taper is now de
voted to eulogies of the dead Senator and
BenIIodaday's railroad schemes, and the
other half to manufacturing Democratic
successors to Williams. He hopes In a
faithful adherence to Williams to again
secure the place on the nigger police, and
if this is lost, we fear that his weak sys
tem will not be strong enough to bear up
nndei his recent misfortunes. It is very
hard on him. and ie bespeak the sympa
thy of his Radical mourners. Loss of the
policeship. defeated :or Printer, and wor.-t
of all, his master's defeat. Deal with him
gently, and give him some very delicate
nourishment, something adapted for such
weak mental and physical systems.
Boltkrs. There is a paper in Oregon
which claims to be independent, that has
much to say about bolters. If our recol
lections are correct., and we need not en.
t'nely rely on " recollections." as we have
the article itself, the editor of the paper
offered to bolt the Democratic N";.iioii;.i
nominations in lS.'ii.and svould havedoia
so had the paper been sufficiently in h;s
control, of which he was at the time edi
tor. This he offered to do af;er he had
been a delegate in the S a;e Convention
which sent the delegates to the National
Convention, and also after he had pledged
himself to support whomsoever was nomi
nated. Those who refused to stand his
nomination afterward have been fully
justified by his course since that time.
Rettuxkd. Hon. Den. Stark anised in
Portland last Thursday. Mr. Stark was
appointed Senator from thisStute by Gov.
Whiteaker. at the time Col. Raker was
killed. The Orcgonlan has him already
et down as a candidate for IT. S. Senator
before the next Legislature. It is a good
thing that the time tor the meeting of ihe
Legislature is so clo?e at hand or thse
Radical editors would go crazy over the
Senatorial question a subject in which
they lost all their right and title on thi'
Gib of June. Mind your own business and
let vour neighbors attend to their"s.
A Good Joke. It is stated that, the mod
esty of Ben. Hoiiaday caused him to take
the opportunity of the ariival of Williams
and Gen. Caaby, to give a grand recep
tion ; but the honor and expense was in
tended entirely for his son-in-law. Count
and Countess Pourtales. svho svere on the
steamer with these gentlemen. Ben. would
probably have cared but very little about
going to the expense of a reception had
his relatives not been on the same steamer.
Remahkaislk. The Bulletin professes to
be an "independent"' paper, yet sve have
not seen since its issue one article opposed
to the Radicals, while it keeps up a good
fiht against the Democracy, and is de
cidedly in favor of a Radical being elected
U

The Associate-Nigger Policeman.
The nigger associate oF the State Journ
al, published at Eugene City, takes acca
sion in the issue of that paper, of the 30th,
, .. . . ,
who does not thank him for it. nor does a I
word of praise of a Democrat from such
source- amount to anything. In this ar
ticle the nigger associate policeman, late
Radical candidate for State Printer, takes
the opportunity to assail us. which we re
gard as more complimentary than his or
any other Radical's praises. Were it not
for the willful and known lies in the item
referred to. we should take no notice of it.
He says that we were aware that the gen
tleman was about to retire from the paper
and therefore took the occasion to make
the assault. This is false. Again, be says
that when the news of the assassination
came " we were so badly scared that we
begged two prominent Republicans to sit
up with us the first night."" This lie is
manulactured out of whole cloth and he
cannot find the "two prominent Republi
cans of whom we m ule this request. V. e

The office was guarded at no time during

and we considered that this was force
enough to resist any nssault that might
be attempted, including Capt. Rinehart's
recruits, who were urged on by such cow
ardly skunks to destroy our office, but
were not willing to take the responsibility
and chances for their own worthless lives.
It was well known that cowardice on the
part of those who wished to mob our of
fice was the only thing that protected us.
We deprecated the act of assassination,
and after Mr. Lincoln was dead, we had
nothing more to do with him. as he had
passed to the judgment of a higher tribu
nal. But we had no more to say in his
favor after his death than before. To the
charge that we are a nuisance' we are
ready and cheerfully admit it. The Radi
cals of Oregon have long since regarded
us such, and none have bad better cause
for such an opinion than the late Radical
candidate for State Printer and ex-associate
with the niggers on the police at
Washington City.
U. S. Skxator. The Radical editors die
hard, and they cannot yet realize that all
H lost, even Williams, and in their de
plorable condition they are manufacturing
every Democrat in Oregon as a candidate
for U. S. Senator, and ihen still retain one
as they sns7 ' behind the scenes' This
man behind the scenes, we are informed.
is (Jen. Adair, of Astoria. He is a good
Democrat, and has a right to enter the
field as a candidate if he sees fit. and that
without consulting the Radicals. We
hear daily, thiough Radical pipers, of
new candidates, and the whole thing is to
make it appear as though there svas a
slrife on this question. The Legislature
which has been elected will select the
choice ot the people, and that will be a
Democr tt. Since the General's name has
become public can't some of onr. Radical
friends find another to place behind the
scenes?" It makes it so interesting and
sensational.
Contests. In Baker county we find a
man, Sterns, a rather notorious fellow,
thai puts himself where he is not wanted,
attempting to hold the office of County
Judge, to which he had been appointed.
The Governor has no power to appoint
any officers beyond a regular election. and
this fellow Sterns is only a usurper, as he
was in the Legislature four years ago

ksv Yokk. August 1. A cable special
to the Herald says : Preparations for svar
in Prussia are being carried on with great
activity. Trenches are being opened 2
leagues from Cologne. The entrenched
camp is established in a triangle formed
by Cologne, Coblantz. and Treves. The
fine parks in Cologne, anil the magnificent
chatteau of the banker, Oppenheini. are
used. Mavence is in a state of seige. 1
occupied by 27,000 soldiers. Trenches
are opened in front of the city. Persons
unable to provide themselves with (i
weeks provisions, are notified to depart.
A large force is encamped on the heights
of Saint Hubert, overlooking the alley
of Laach. which will protect the important
group of, coal mines in that place and
command the junction railroads from ;
Dergonburck to Landau, and between i
Mayeuce and Cob'.entz a formidable
amount of war material and an immense
body of troops have been collected.
There will be i;o open campaign, and
tactics will be similar to those hitherto
employed in the siege namely an advance
under cover of entrenchments. The Rhine
provinces are being covered with improv
ed workes. The country between Coblentz
and Mayence is entrenched and cut up.
This nesv system oi defense requires a
new mode of attack, Lence the delay of
the French advance. It is believed Prus
sia will raise her army to one mil lion and
a quarter of soldiers and advance on
France.

The Smith-Stark Reception .
The Democrats of Portland, on learning
that, these two gentlemen were passengers
on board the Orifiamme. made prepara
tions to receive them, and to that end the
magnificent steamboat Oneonia was char
tered for the occasion. As svas announced
in vesterday's issue, the Oneonta. having
on board a large number of onr citizens.
proceeded down the river, expecting to
meet the Orifiamme ; but owing to a low,
contemptible trick, that vessel was detain
ed below Martin's Bluff, so that heranival
could not be telegraphed to this city, and
it svas thought by that means the friends
of Hons. Jos. Smith and Peni. Stark svould
not have an opportunity of receiving them
in the manner proposed. A nice piece ot
conduct for gentlemen (?) to be guilty of.
Yesterday morning, on the arrival of the
Orifiamme in port, a c mmittee of the cit
izens waited on Hons. Jo. S. Smith and
Benj. Stark, and escorted them to the
svharf where there was waiting a barouche,
drasvn by six horses, to convey them to
Ihe St. Charles Hotel, where apartments
had been engaged for the honorable gen
tlemen. On reaching the svharf the gen
tlemen were greeted with cheer after
cheer from an immense concourse of citi
zens who had assembled to bid them wel
come to Democratic Oregon. Along the
line of the route from the steamship wharf
they were the recipients of many marked
compliments and tokens of respect. .On
reaching the hotel, they were conducted
to magnificent ap.ir meats previously on
gaged for them. During the day hun
dreds of our citizen called and paid their
respects. Never in the history of Port
land have we seen t-uch an enthusiastic re
ception. Herald.
Tiik Oakland CsTAsruoriiE. We are
indepted to Mr. Jas. Weaver for the fol
lowing particulars of the horrible catas
trophe at Oakland on Sunday ast. It
appears that four children, Sarah E.
Iieatty. aged twelve sears, daughter of
Thos. Beatty, two little girls, aged eight
and ten years, daughters of Moses Rice,
and a little daughter of W. 11. Crouch,
aged about ten years, all residents of
Oakland, had gone down to the Calipooia
creek to go in bathing. Not knowing the
depth of water, one of them, Sarah Beatty.
told the children that she svould go in
first, and if she should get into deep water
for them to join hands and come in and
pull her out. Accordingly started in, and
the water bMng deep, she sank. The
others then joined hands and attempted to
rescue her. but they too. on getting hold
of her, svere pulled into deep svater.
The screams of the children attracted the
attention of Lolla Williamson, a bov
about fourteen sears ot age. who hastened
to their assistance; but having to cross a
portion of the stream on a foot-lorr and
then run 150 sards, did not get there un

daring the brave boy plunged into the

stream and caught one of the girls, Caddy
Crouch, and brought her insensible to the
shore, but ere he could return, the other
three little ones had sank forever in their
walery graves. Capt.. Crouch arrived at
the scene of the terrible calamity, but
was too late to render any assistance to
the unfortunate little ones Two of the
bodies were recovered about two hours
afterwards by Frank Dodge, and the oilier
was found by Mr. Weaver, and recovered
by Alf. Hall. While nothing can restore
