The Radical press throughout the Union ' places great stress on the fact that the party in power ia paying off the national debt, and it appears from their argument that this is the only reason why the party should remain ir power. This is all very veil, but the fact that this debt is being reduced does not argue in their favor. ' The tax-payers who arc over-burdened to raise this money will naturally claim that it is through their indulgence and not by any meritorious action of the party in . power by vhich this debt is being re duced. If the people will look at the enormous sum they are annually called upon to pay. and the immense revenue received by the national Government, . they will not only withhold any credit from the party in power, but inquire why is thelebt not reduced more rapidly with such a revenue? It is not a matter of whfBlAhe party in power can boastbut Tne people, who are down-trodden and over-burdened with taxation on every - side, who deserve the credit of this reduc . tion. With the present revenue of the general Government, after paying the in terest on the debt and the necessarily in crease of the expenses, costs the peop'e . more than double the amount it did dur ing any Democratic administration since the formation of the Government. Then why should these speculators and swind lers claim or receive any credit for the reduction of the debt ? It should be re- luced double the amount it has been with the enormous incomes, and then the ex- penses of the Federal Government would be much larger than at any previous - period under Democratic ruie. The fact is, the Radical party are extorting every cent from the people possible, and the tax payers and not the party in power de serve the credit lor the reduction of the lebt. It is an easy matter for a party in power to pay off the indebtedness if the people will submit to the high and unjust taxes which they put upon them. We can see no reason why the debt should not be reduced. In fact,' it ought to be reduced faster, and the taxes be lifted from the shoulders of the people. The New York Jlerahl has an able article on this subject, from which we Ulce the following extract: This undoubtedly sounds very well. The liquidation of the debt at the rate of a hundred millions or so a year is a grati fying fact. Rut thoughtful people will nsk where the money comes from. The tux-payers know very well that they are overburdened to produce the result. "Sec retary ISoutwell has irjt a magician's wand by which he can call up treasures from the deep. Every dollar comes from the pockets of the people, and the larger the amount collected the greater is the cost of collection. The net receipts of the Treas ury for the quarter ending .September 30 of this year was over a hundred and fif teen millions of dollars. This is at the rate of four hundred and sixty millions ti .year. A trifle more than halt the iceeipis was from customs that is, S")7.72'.).173, and nearly fifty millions came from inter nal revenue. If we reckon the annual in terest on the debt at a hundred and thirty millions, we lhid that at the present rate of, income the administration has three hundred and thirty millions a year for current expenses, independent of interest on the debt, and to apply to the payment of the principal of the debt. The annual expenditures, exclusive of interest on the debt, ought not to exceed a hundred and fifty millions a year. That would be more than double the sum expended previous to the war. ten years ago. IJut admitting this really large and unnecessary current -expense for conducting the government, that added to the interest on the debt amounts to two hundred and eighty mil lions. This would leave a balance, at the rate of the present income, of a hundred ., and eighty millions a year to be applied to the payment of the debt. No wonder that the debt is being rapidly reduced un- , der the present administration. With such resources no government could do otherwise. If we allow the administration the credit it claims for augmenting the revenue by a faithful collection of taxes, the fact still remains that all comes from the pockets of the people, and that they are overburdened to produce this result. rouTicvr. RiivouTioxs. Everywhere sayiP an exchange, at the late elections, the people rose against party managers and "ran the machine'' to suit themselves. .Missouri, which in 1SGS gaveMoChirg 19, 327 majority, this year sends him whirling out of his seat with -10,030 majority for his opponent. Ingersoll, republican, of Il linois, who received 7,000 majority ir. 18GS. Cbis year takes a back seat, his competitor beating him by 2,003 votes. Two years ngo the republican majority in the Michi gan Sixth district was 3.230 ; this year it gives a democratic majority of 2.150. West Virginia was expected to double her majority of 9,000 for Grant, but the most 0astute tricksters were astounded when she rolled up a democratic majority of 11,000. O In the New York Fifteenth Congressional district Tanner, republican, who was elec ted in 1SGS by over 2,-100 majority, is suc ceeded by Joseph 31. Warren, democratic, who has been elected by the remarkable majority of 9.700. The abova extraordin ary Ranges show that the people, when they choose to take a hand in the business, can manage things pretty much as they please. Removed. Judge O. Humason, an old citizen of the Dalles, has removed to Port landPwhich place he expects to make his future residence. CPwing to the severe storms in Southern Oregon the President's messaeo has not O The Land Grabbing Sclienie. The Radical party, ever since they have been in power, have granted rich monopo lies lands and other subsidies to construct railroads. Ia other words, the Govern ment has givfn these companies land enough to build the roads and then guar anteed the payment of the interest on their bonds, and allowed them to give first mortgages on the road for the same, and the Government has been paying the interest as it became due. Now the Pa cific Central road owes the Government about two million dollars which has been paid as interest on their bonds. The agents cf this company Lave lately been trying to sell the balance of the first mort gage bonds, and when they are sold the probabilities are tha', the Government will be obliged to bring suit for a fore closure, when the road will bo bought in by the holders of these bonds. It will be sold to the " ring," and the Government will be cheated out of the interest which has already been paid, and which must be regularly paid until the maturity of these bonds. The whole transaction has been a swindle from the commencement, and these land grabbers haVe not only a road which was built' by the people's money, but now the labor of the country is taxed to pay the interest on the bonds long after, as the company claims, the road i a paying institution. While we agree that the Central Pacific Railroad is a great benefit to the country, we cannot give the credit to the Republican party which they claim for its construction. They have given awcy millions of dollars in money and millions of acres of land, and now the people will be obliged, through their partisan, corrupt and un guarded franchises, to lose what the Gov ernment has paid and is pledged for. The whole system of the Republican party in this matter has been for the benefit of cap ital at the expense of the people, and it will be observed that they have virtually paid for building the road, and now con tinue to pay to the stockholders (who are the bondholders) the interest on the bonds after the road has become a paying insti tution. It is no wonder that the Demo crats in Congress, after seeing what a ter rible fix the Radicals have placed the country into, have refused to give any further railroad subsidies to thieving cor porations. The Sacramento Union,n good loyal paper, says on this subject : The agents of the Central Pacific Rail road Company at New York have of late been trying to sell the balance of :he first mortgage bonds. They tell the public that the road made over $800,000 in Octo ber, and that the grosi receipts for the year will sum up to 87,000.000. In short the concern is. by their statement, on rap idly rising ground one of the most prom i.sing in the country. How comes it then let us enquire that with all these immense profits, the ire usury Depirtment at Wash ington has a bill of nearly two millions and a half unpaid iuterest money against the company ? Why don't they use some or their profits to pay back the money which the Government has paid for them Do they ever mean to pay it ? Are they preparing to nave suit brought lor fore closure on the first mortgage bonds, an the road sold out for a song to some ' ring" who hold those bonds in large amounts, us Drannan asserted in his decla ration ? Hot Much. The Oregonian attempts to make it ap pear that Radicals such as Schurz ant Gra'z Drown, aided by the New York Evening Font and the Chicago Tribune are trying to organize a new party out of the Democratic ranks, and triumphantly asks whether the Democracy of Oregon are ready to give. up their cherished priii ciples and follow such leaders?'' We say Iot much, were these men even trying such an impossibility. The truth of the matter is, the papers above named, with a large and influential portion of the Re publican party, are disgusted with the present administration, and unless they can succeed in controlling the party, wil split off and organize one out of the disaf- lecteu element, nicy uo not, nor can they, expect to gain any strength from the Democracy, but they will become the main and most powerful element of the present Radical parly. The Republican party, which but a few short years ago was so powerful and united (the cohesive power of plunder being sufficient to hold them together), has degenerated into fac tions, and no amount of deception,' bully ing or threatening can cause them to act in harmony again.. The Oregonian wishes and prays that these men and papers might ,ain their support from the Demo cracy, while it knows full well that they cannot expect to disturb the solid phalanx of the Democracy, but will effectually and successfully disband the present adminis tration part. We have no fears that any Republican w ill succeed in leading Demo crats, or having cny influence in the party organization. The disaffection ia the Radical ranko. however, is most complete, and such papers as we have mentioned above, with a host of other heretofore Re publican papers, are demanding the re organization of the party, and unless their demand is acceded to, a break-up is in evitable, and the Oregonian will shortly witness a complete and effectual disrup tion of the administration party. That's what's the matter. Objects. The Oregonian objects to our figures in relation to the next Congress. While we ma' have made some errors in our favor, we are satisfied that we allowed sufficient to balance the table. and believe the final count will be about as we had it. It will be nearer, however, than the figures of the Oregonian. The editor of that paper has a mathematical reputation, and he is very apt to make strange figures in his own favor. Officiai- The Albany Democrat has been designated as the official orgaa for j Linn county, under the Litigant Act. J Ths Prevailing Discare- The Statesman of last Tuesday, which has been probably as guilty as the physi cians ia concealing the fact that small-pox existed in Salem, comes back on us for the charges we made last week. We did not charge the citizens with concealing the fact, bat stated that' they were misled by the physicians, who- ought to have known that the disease which has caused so much suffering throughout the State was small-pox. Had the truth been told in the start, the citizens would have taken the precaution to check it. It is a re markable statement, to say the least, that a place, like Salem, which boasts of a Medical Faculty, and claims to possess the best physicians in the State, had not one among so many that knew the disease was small-pox, and that the fact was not made public until after Dr. J. C. Haw thorne, of Portland, pronounced it such. Even after this, the same learned physi cians denied the facts, and persisted that it was only chicken-pox. To this very day the ittulesman attempts to cover up the actual existence of small-pox ia Salem, and in nearly every instance when it re fers to the matter that paper terms it the " prevailing disease.' In . its reply it says : If we have small-pox among Us it has existed in so "mild a form that many af fected did not recognize it as such, and our physicians yet fail to agree upon its being that disease. At the present time it is not prevalent here, unless in cases that are recovering and nearly well. De sides Mr. Rader, of Jackson county, there has only been one death from it, and that was a nursing infant. In the first sentence the editor has doubts as to the existence of the disease, and is the last, he acknowledges two deaths from it. Does that not show an attempt at concealment ? Had it been declared that Mr. Rader died with the small-pox, does any sano man believe that the bed on which Mr. R. died would have been allowed to be thrown in the public streets ? No. Rut 'tt was declared that he died with hemorrhage of the bowels, and not until now we find that it is an acknowledged fact that ho died with small-pox. Rut because there has been no more deaths at Salem than above stated, docs not signify anything. There have been a number of deaths in the State from it, and all who have either died or had it were at Salem and took it with them when they left. That we made a malicious charge'' against the people of Salem, is false. We respect and regard many of her citizens as our personal friends, but wedo say, that it speaks un favorable for the physicians of that place when they declare that they did not know what the disease was, or is, to this day. One fact may be here stated, and that is. since the fact lias been declared by a phy sician from another part of .the State that the disease is small-pox, the necessary precautions are taken, and the result is that the epidemic is dying out. Let the Ratesm-tn note the number of deaths which have occurred throughout the State by this disease, and .also the number of sufferers who have recovered, and we feel assured it will be ready to censure some one, and that will be the men who ought to have known what the disease ws, and cautioned the people against it. v ScBscnnsixo. We have had quite a number ( f our subscribers pay up their subscriptions during the past week and order the American Ru& Journal, which we furnish with the ExTKiM'nisa at the rate of 83 per annum. We will furnish this excellent magazine to all our subscribers who will pay their subscription before the 1st of January next, at this price. We hope all our present subscribers will avail themselves of-this offer, and that we shall also receive many new names to our li.-t through this inducement. The subscrip tion price of the Rode Journal is 81 per annum, but our arrangements are such that we can furnish it in connection with our paper for 83, w hen payment is made in advance. The proposition extends to all our present subscribers who are in ar rears, and if they will pay up between this and the 1st of January they will re ceive the StocJc Journal for one yi same as new subscribers. ir, the Ix Tkoubt.e. The Oregonian, after at tempting to create the impression that dis affected Radicals were making an effort to organize a new party out of the' ranks of the Democracy, has suddenly become awake to the re-dity that the effort i about proving successful, so far, however, that it is out of the broken and disorgan ized ranks of the Radical parly, and not from the Democracy. That paper is now engaged in publishing long exhortations to its brethren not to abandon the rotten hulk, and goes back to the old and worn- out cry of " traitors," treason," &c. It's no use. The ball is in motion and the Radical party will shortly meet its doo;S Goon. At the city election in Salem, the regular Radical nominee for city mar shal was defeated by the independent candidate. This is the only office cn which the test was made. The Democrats elect four out of the eight eoancilraen. This is good for Salem, and shows that even that place is falling in wish the pop ular current. Marlon county will give a Democratic majority in 1S72. Mark that prediction. Piior-En. A physician, Dr. Kellogg, was arrested in Portland last week on a charge of not reporting a case of small-pox which he knew to exist. He was fined 8o0 for his neglect. Had the authorities of Salem known that the small pox existed in Sa lem, and done so. the disease would prob ably not have been so completely scat tered throughout the State. Directors. At the annual meeting of the People's Transportation Company, held at Salem on Thursday last, the fol- owing Directors were elected : A. A. Mc- Cully. D. W. Curnside, N. McCully, E. N.

London-, Dec. 3.-A telegram dated Tours, December 2d. saysit is officially stated io-n;"ht that one or two days must elapse betore the fruits of the movements now la progress may be fully reaped. Up to this time successive steps have been taken and every moment brings nearer to each other the armies of the Loire and of Paris. During the fighting on the 30th Ducrot andYinoy captured four i russian guns and many prisoners. The mili'ary authorities have made public the following details of recent events around the city : On the 28th. at day break, a cannonade opened from the forts on the south of the city. Next day Generals Vinoy, Ruzenval and Desprean made their way out of the fortifications, on a reconoissance south of L'Hay and Choissey Le Roi. They attacked the po sitions of the Prussians, ana also dis lodged them at Granvillers. Their loss was severe. Ton:s, Dec. 3. A balloon from Paris descended near Le Mans. It left that city on the 1st, and brings the following news : The French troops kept the positions they took in sorties on the 29th and 30th ult., and preparing to vigorously prosecute the offensive movement. Vinoy had posi tions greatly in advance of Ducrot. The latter was stopped owing to a sudden rise in the river, brought about by the Prus sians breaking away the dam, and not on account 4 of any resistance offered. The Prussians retook Champa? line, but the French again took it. The Prussians, and not the French demanded a truce to bury their dead. The Army of the Loire made a successful forward movement. All the railways in this part of the country have ceased temporarily to take passengers, owing to the enormous movement of troops. Touts:, Dec. "). The French evacuated Orleans on the -1th inst., and the Prussians occupied the place at midnight. The Prussians had demanded the evacuation and had threatened to bombard if not evacuated. The French spiked the guns left behind and destroyed the powder. Vku-.im:s. Dec. 5. The French were driven from Cheiliy and have abandoned Cbampaigfiy Sur-Marne, and are massing at Crelai. Torus, Dec. o. A battle look place at the junction of the armies of Paris and Loire, near Fums. The French regained the position which was taken from them on Friday by Yon Der Tann. General Sonnet was taken prisoner by the Prus sians. The Gernnm loss during the two days fi'ht was l,GO0. The weather in France is intensely cold. The Duke of Mecklenburg makes the following report : Yesterday mornimr a battle commenced near Rarserches les Halites. After a hot tight the lath French Army Corps was deieated and driven back- to Ariheany. '.the ItHh French Army Corps was driven beyond Soignay. Several hundred prisoners and eleven guns were taken. Th enemy's loss was considerable. Our loss is unknown, but much sm J l)l 1. I . ilier than that of the enemy. Dec. 0. Reports of the battle near Orleans- show that the Prussians at tacked the different corps of the French, army seperately and in great force, thus repulsing the left wing of the army of the Loire, and turning on Orleans so that its evacuation was a necessity. Grtmbetta has issued a ct cular to Pre fects, saying the siluati. n of the army is good, and heavy reinforcements are al ready arriving. Fieneh nioveHifnis will soon'be resumed. The opposition are at tempting to circulate false rumors to dis courage and demoralize, but you may confidently deny assertions ti the contrary. Yesterday the riht of the army of the Loire had a successful engagement near Montane. London. Dec. 5. Advices from Paris, received, by balloon to the l!h, state that Troehu savs that the Prussians, on the 2d. nf!:r-ked 1 lie positions at i liters and Campigny.

A second attack was made, on Autunby the Prussians, and was repulsed with con siderable loss to the assailants. The ene my continue their retreat far north. Li:a.i:.Dec.l. The evacuation of Amiens b' the Germans is confirmed. The even ing that they retired they blew up the b nd ere between Athertand Asteux. to pro tect their retreat. Nothing lias since been heard of General Mantculfel, and there is but little doubt that he has abandoned his march on the north, and is hastening with all his forces to Paris. Fr.oiiKxrK, Dec. 3. The deputation of theSpanisu Government -and Cortes to fen der the crown of Spain to the Duke of Aos ta. arrived here to-day. and was received with universal demonstrations of welcome. The bombardment of Relfort has com menced. Nothing new has been heard from (he ar my of the Loire. The military situation among the best informed circles is deemed critical. Mantetiilol has been ordered to ' march to Paris. It is slated on good au thority that Bismark insists that he must and will retire from office until the conven tion wiili the South German Stales is adopt ed unaltered.. London. Dkc.I. In the southern front of Paris the fust shell was fired into the city yesterday, from the Bavarian batteries near Fa'iillon. It was accidental. The Crown Prine Las ordered the u-c of no more guns for the present, at such range. If the French try tiny more sorties there will probably be asharp attack on the out lying defences of the eiiy.

The President's . ITT. .. . . 1 message to Use beuate ana iiouse opeuea by announcing a year of peace and pros pel ity having passed since the last assemb ling of Congress. It is a comparatively brief document, written in a clear, busi nesslike way. which presents at a glance a review of public affairs for the past year, and the present situation of the country. The main facts stated aie already familiar to the public throuirh the papers. In ref erence to the Alabama question, the Presi dent says: ' I regret to say no conclusions have been reached for the adjustment of the claim against Great Dritain, growing out of the course adopted by that govern ment during the rebellion. The Cabinet of London, so far as its views have been expresed. does not appear to be willing to concede that Her Majesty.s go erument was guilty of neglect, or did any act du ring the war bv which the L'nited States" has just cause ol complaint. Our firm and unalterable convictions are directly to the reverse. I therefore recommend to Con gress to authorize the appointment of com missioners to take proof of amounts and ownership of vessels and their claims, and that authority be given for the settlement of those claims by t he United States, so the government shall have the- ownership of private claims, as well as responsible control of all demands against Great Drit ain. Whenever Her Majesty's government shall entertain a desire tor a full and friendly adjustment of these claims, the Lnited States will enter upon their consid eration with en earnest de.-ire for a con clusion consistent with the honor aud dig nity of nations. The Senate was called to order at noon by the Vice President. Nearly all he Senators were present. Several bills were introduced, among them one by Cole and Casscrly' for the immediate re peal of the income tax law. forbidding the collection of any tax maturing after the 1st of January. Washburhe, of 'Wisconsin, has received a letter from his brother, Minister to France, in which he says the people of Paris have provision enough to hold out. till the 1st. of January. R. R. Littler of Tennessee, will appear in the House to-day and make a personal explanation, during Which he will refer to the damaging charges which have been made againat hirn in connection with the pension fraud, and demand an investiga tion bv Congress. The" election of General Logan to the U. S. Senate from Illinois, in place of Yates, is regarded certain. Senator Sumner states the object of his bill, introduced yesterday, to prevent the further providing of Tj. S. currency in place of worn out '"notes. He believes this course will gradually contract the currency and bring about specie pay ments. 'The bill also provides for amend ing the funding law. by increasing the five per cent, bonds from 200,000,000 to SoOO.OOO'OOO. The report of the Secretary of the Treasury says, the financial condition of the country has improved during the past year. The average rate of gold for the year 18G9. as shown by .veekly sales, wu3 329 per centum premium, and for the first eleven moi.ths of the year 1870 it was 152 per centum premium, and bearing an improvement in the value of the paper currency of about 17 per centum. The total reduc'ion of the public debt, from March 1. lSf'.y, to December 1. 1870. was S181.1oi.7G.3 . consequent reduction in interest is at the rate of over ten million per annum.
