State News. Our strictures on the conduct of one or two Democrats afflicted with a /mini a for office, and pandering the vilest intrigues in order to obtain their wishes ; and our Charges that these men were in secret league with the Radicals, has been verified in an unexpect ed manner, and very much sooner than we anticipated. Had there been a denial of our assertion, wo should, of course, have been compelled to the proof. But not only has there been a failure to day, 15tit our Radical cotemporary« has kiudly relieved us of the ne cessity of proving that the programme adop ted bv certain aspirants for remunerative offices was conceived at tire Radical headquar- ters, as a means of creatiqg a division in the Democratic ranks. Usually, beneficiaries of an admitted treason either deny their com plicity in the crime, or are entirely silent. Treachery of all kinds is so abhorent to hu man nature that there are few, even of those who are benefitted by the crime, who care to defend it publicly. Any other course argues, either a conviction of success and recklessness of public opinion, or a stupidity as remarkable as it is fatuous. We were, therefore, unpre pared for the bold defence which the Senti nel made last week of thé trtiitors, schemers and disorganizers whom we have been expos ing for the last two weeks. That that virtuons sheet should seek as it has often done before, to create discord in our ranks, and fan the flame to the highest pitch, we expected. In this course lay the only road open to the success of Radicalism in this county. The thorny path had been trodden with bleeding feet by the Radical party in years gone by, only to meet repoatedly with hopeless defeat at the end. As the ¡only road affording a hope we fully expected to see them once more on their dolorous way to disap pointment. But tho admission of a league between the persons we referred to, and/our colored brethren, implied by the valorous de fence of the Sentinel, we confess, surprised us. In assuming the cudgels in behalf of tho.se we denounced, it admits a sympathy,—a congeniality of feeling,— a combination of means, and a common end to be gained, in the destruction of the uuiry of the Democratic party. This is precisely what we warned the Democracy of Jackson was in contempla tion. With the verification of our charges afforded by the Sentinel's position before it, we ask the Democracy of Jackson to ponder well the situation. An important election is ap proaching, both as regards the State and this county. In justice to ourselves, and to the State at large, we should poll the largest pos sible vote. To do this, we must have unity and peace ; and unity and peaco can only be secured by turning a deaf ear to the schemes of disorganizers and traitors, and “hoisting them with their own petards.” Marion county. ‘ ' • hi • I ■ ■ ■ » ♦....................... ■ ■ - — “A D ivide ? H ouse .”—Our Coolie neigh bor is suffering from his regular biennial at tack of nervousness in regard to the alledged divisions in the Democratic party. Says our neighbor, solemnly : “It is apparent, that the hitherto infallible and invincible democ racy of Jackson, is badly split up.” Now, as our nervous cotemporary has been saying the same thing every two years for the last six, we respectfully submit that it is a little frayed on the edges, denuded of nap—in fact, threadbare. As certain as the election ap proaches, the ominous announcement appears in the columns of our cotemporary, and as regular as the election comes, the statement is “coppered” with a democratic majority of from 100 to 280. A reference to old files of the Sentinel will show this. This terrible announcement used to scare us some six years ago, but we have become so muëh ac customed to see it since, that now we don’t scare worth a d—darn. “Shoo fly, don’t bodder me.” • Thé Oregon Medical and Surgical Reporter Contains the following good suggestion : “We desire to receive copies of each paper in the Stàte, in order, that we may collect statistics for the present year, and keep an accurate açcoubt of the deaths arid casualties, togeth er with other facts bearing upon the interests of science. We would4 suggest that when practicable the cause of the death should be appended to the notice of deceased persons.” ÿ« ■ « . I e ..............

M. Curley intoxicating liquors, under pain of prosecution. (Curley formerly resided here, and is a skillful draughtsmen when sober.— [Ep. N ews .] , Heretofore farmers have found it to be a difficult matter t) clean flax seed - with any machinery that they could obtain. Mr. T. Duval of this place ha9 determined to make a machine that will meet the wants of the flax raisers. Ilia fanning mill resembles the common fan, except that the “shove” is lon ger and shake forward and backward instead of sidewise as in the wheat fan. The screens are three in number and fasten with a thumb screw instead of groves, by which arrange meat they can be set at any angle, The meshes of the first two screens are long and narrow, and those of the third are small •and square. It is thought that Mr. Duval’s fan ning mill will clean grain of any kind ; diff erent riddles being the only change necessary. Tho cost of this new impliment will be about the same as tie common fanning mill. Yesterday tho amount of State tax assessed against Lane county for the year 1869 was paid into the State Treasury. Eitan county also paid the last installment oi the tax for the same year together with the half mill tax of 1867, which the ceunty refused to pay un til the State sued and obtained judgement in the Circuit Court for that amount. Yesterday, articles of incorporation for the Albany Canal and Manufacturing Company were filed in the Secretary of States office. The business in which the corporation pro pose to engage is to construct a navigable canal, with all necessary locks, gates, etc., with tow path and keep the same in repair. The water is to bo taken out of the South Fork of the Santiam river. A fish market has Lsen opened on Com mercial street opposite Starkey’s brick block. [Press Jan. 1 Sth.] Yes’erday wo saw i very intricate and beautiful piece of machinery manufactured by Mr. Rudawalt, under the directions of Mr. J. Fetzer formerly of Lyons France, but for the past ten years a resident of Salem. The machine is a part of a loom for weaving silk, linen and even woolen fabrics, when any design for figure work is to be executed. It is an improvement on the Jacquard apparatus, and can be ^t ached to the common power loom. Mr. Fetter has filed in the patent office a caveat for a patent on bis improve ments. A Dramatic school has been opened in Read’s Theatre that numbers ten persons. Mr. D. W. Jones of this place is manager. The amount of Oregon wool shipped to San Francisco during the year 1869 was 1,039,400 pounds. Ths receipts of wool from this State in 1868, 421,460 pounds, show ing an incaease of 611,940, or more than one-half. Judge Olney and D. P. Thompson are in Washington trying to gobble 500,000 acres of land, ostensibly to aid in improving the Willamette. Messrs. Snyder & Co., Book binders, deliv ered yesterday to the Secretary of State, a large lot of Public documents, Senate and House Journals for the Legislative session of 1868. The Secretary will probably in a few days mail the same to whom the law directs. [We would like to know why the delivery of these documents has been delayed so long— sixteen months.

It becomes our duty this week to chronicle the death of two more of Oregon’s Pioneers. Capt. John II. Couch, of Portland, who made his first visit to Oregon in 1840, waN Treasurer uhdertTie Provisional Government, and one of the founders of Portland, died on the 19th ; and Hiram Smith, another old Ore gonian, died in San Francisco on the 16th. These men have witnessed and participated in many an eventful scene in Oregon, and when the history of Chis young Stale is writ ten, their names will figure prominently in its early annals. —OF— FINE GOODS !
