The Portland Standard is gorelr af flicted over the result of the Senatorial contest From the wail thac paper Bends up one would infer that its edit or was the chief mourner at the fu neral of the late so-called caucus nom ine of the Republican members of the Legislature. Whether this wail is in behalf of the five Democrats who voted steadily for the aforesaid nominee, or in behalf of Parker and Veatch, who voted with the five on the last ballot, does not appear; be that as it may, the editor i3 evidently in a bad way, and unless he gets relief soon he will most likely experience a violent attack of political "jim-jams." Statesman. THE TAEITF. The following is from the San Fran ciso Examiner: "It is eften said that the taiiff ques tion is not political, but, in point of fact, no other proposition enters so largely into the politics of the time. It has been so for many years; and even when little is said about the matter in the speeches and writings of the day, its influence is scili great. The Con stitution of the United S tates grants fa Congress the power to lay a tariff for revenue. K is plain that this grant of power was never intended . to4 deprive the people of their natural right to carry on commerce. The utmost stretch of this power could place the tariff no higher than the point at which it would yield, the greatest amount of revenue. It might be that a tariff of 30 or 40 per cent on certain articles would produce a larger income to the treasury than one either higher or low er than that rate, and it would be sure that a tariff of 200 or 300 per cent would yield little or nc money, from the fact that no importation of gocds so taxed would occur. Excluding foreign-made goods is very profitable to the manufacturer here, because it gives him the market to himself that is, to the class to which he belongs; and a tariff of 40 cent3 on the dollar is very aivantageous to him, also, as it enables him to sell hii productions for that much more than he could if no tariff existed, although his goods are not worth any more to the purchaser, who is injured by this advance in the price. moderate taiiff, which permits large importations from abroad, fills the treasury, and at the same time gives Jhe American manufacturer a great gain by raising the price f goods, the ..government getting the duty on 'the imported articles, and the manufactur er getting the same amount on the ar ticles he produces. This increase ' of price is all paid by the eonsumer. Vol- . umes could be filled with discourses on this simple subject, and perhaps it will not thereby be made and clearer, even to the few who might read them. It is not likely that the government will be in a condition to adopt anything like free trade. A large revenue is needed, and it can be had by import duties. No party that may be in pow $r will be in' a position to reduce to a low figure the duties to be collected. Thus,, the manufacturers will have, in any event, a liberal projection. But they now have too jauch. Woolen goods have two sets of charges one rated by the pound, and one by the dollar and both paid on the same ar ticle. These two charges amount in some cases to over 90 per cent. Forty years ago such a tariff would never have been thought f. Daniel Web ster and Henry Clay were considered tariff statesmen, and they were satis fied with" from 15 to 40 per cent, and declared that even that amount was pnly needed for a time, until American manufacturers could get established firmly. They have been long well es tablished, they have got rich and pow erful, and they increase their demands. It must be kept in mind that this ex cessive taxation does not put one cent into the treasury. On the contrary, after a certain figure is reached all the benefit goes to private parties. This is altogether wrong; because such a now- i, hi tvu me people at Jarge to enrich a small class, was never granted to Con gress. And, further, it is against the genius and spirit of our institutions, which were founded to promote the good ef the many of the people and not to.build up a few hundred insolent nabobs. The tariff needs revision in the interest of the toiling millions, and we hope to see men sent to Congress who will not forget to have it done. It wjJl require men of probity, of strict integrity, to stand up for the rights and interests of the people, because the de fenders of extortion have two hundred million of dollars a year to check on, "BY THEIK WOEKS SHALL YE OOW ' THEM." The imbecility of the last Legisla ture of Oregon as a body politic, is made manifest by their acts of omis sion and commission. Of the very few popular and necessary laws which were not smothered and lost sight of through the action of the designing demagogues who infested that body, the hand of the knave or fool is plainly visible in the numerous amendments with which each bill that has become a law has been burdened before receiving the Legislative sanction. We have not had an opportunity of reading all the bills which have become laws, as they finally passed, but those which we have examined - show an undisguised stieak of imbecility. As a sample of the statesmanship which pervaded that body, is a law entitled an "Act for the more effectual prevention of cruelty to animals," for which the author of the bill should have been awarded a leath er medal. It is very lengthy, being divided into nine sections, with a streak of insanity, in which . the crank is plainly visible, running through all its provisions. As a sample of its cranki ness and for information to our readers we append tho first section of the bill. and was it not for its extreme length, O 7 would publish it all. It would then be seen from its provisions that it should more properly be entitled "An act to keep up disturbances in a neigh borhood:" Section 1. Whoever overdrives, nr nvfr. loads, drives when overloaded, overworks, tortures, torments, deprives of necessary sustenance, cruelly beats, mutilates or cru elly kills. driven or overloaded, driven when over loaded, overworked, tortured, tormented, deprived of necessary sustenance, cruelly beaten, mutilated or ernellv Li'lotl mal; and whoever having the charge of or custody oi any animal, either as owner or otherwise, inflicts unnecessary cruelty upon the same, shall for everv anch nfJVnr Iia T.i'Ti. ished by imprisonment in the county jail not exceeding sixty days, or by hne not exceed ing one hundred dollars, or by both fine and imprisonment. OPTED STATES SENATOR. J. N. Dolph, recently elected United States Senator by the Oregon Legisla ture at the final moment of adjourn ment, is forty-seven years of age, of tall and commanding presence a lawyer by profession, and in politics of tie Stal wart wing of the Kepullican party. He is the leading attorney for most of the monopolies which have their place of business in Portland, and a large shareholder in many of the credit mo bilier aftairs which have been organized and incorporated for the purposes of speculating in stock-jobbicg enter prises. He is a lawyer of no mean acquire ments, of great industry and extraordi nary financial ability. He came to Portland during the late civil war, and since that time, by shrewd investments has accumulated a large amount of wealth, most of which he has invested in city property in Portland and rail road and navigation stocks, which cen ter in that city. Whilst he is equally as near to Villard as Mitchell, being also an at torney for the companies of which "VT- lard is the head, and a former law partner of Mitchell, he is more directly interested, being an officer of and shareholder in these corporations. As such he is not a suitable or fit person to represent the great agricultural in terests of Oregon. Whether he will put aside selfish interests and rise to the broad and dignified position of a statesman and devote his time and en ergy to the interest of the State, while holding the position of Senator, rather than Lhe mere advocate of the various corporate monopolies in which he is in terested; whether he will lay aside his pi-eference for the city of Portland and act equally just towards other por tions of the State, would be hazardous to predict. He is preeminently the su perior of Mitchell (in ability, dignity and integrity. The Republican party were fortun ate as a party in making the selection that they did, rather than adjourning without an election, for the people of the State are tired of the farce which the Republican majority have made of legislation daring this session, and it will be a long time before they will again have it in their power to obstruct needed legislation or elect a United States Senator. The final vote for United States Sen ator stood: Dolph, 51; Bonham, 26; Mitchell, Long, Curtis, Gates, Gault, Siglin, Veatch, 6; Boise, 3; Shattuck, 1. This must indeed have been a try ing moment for the deserters who had left the Democratic ranks to vote for Mitchell, standing there alone, with the brand of shame upon their foreheads and their contracts still binding upon them to stand by Mitchell to the last, knowing, as they must, of the suspi cion resting in the minds of the people of the true inwardness of their conduct. As the old clock struck the hour of ten they must all have felt the same remorse which Judas felt, and it is only the lack of courage which prevents tnem from doing likewise.

It Is a most agreeable dressing, which Is at once harmless and effectual, for pre serving the hair. It restores, with tha gloss and freshness of youth, faded or gray, light, and red hair, to a rich brown, or deep black, as may be desired. By its use thin, Lair is thickened, and baldness often though not always cured. It checks falling CfUie hair immediately, and causes a new growth in all cases where the glands CTt iot decayed; while to brashy, weak, or etherwise diseased hair, it imparts vitality and strength, and renders it pliable. The Vigor cleanses the scalp, cures and prevents the formation of dandruff; and, by its cooling, stimulating, and soothing properties, it heals most if not all of tb humors and diseases peculiar to the scalp, keeping it cool, clean, and soft, under which conditions diseases of the scalp and hair are impossible. As a Dressing for Ladies' Hair The Vigor is incomparable. It is color less, contains neither oil nor dye, and will not soil white cambric. It imparts an agreeable and lasting perfume, and as an article for the toilet it is economical and unsurpassed in its excellence. Prepared by Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co, Practical and Analytical Chemista,! Lowell, Mass. SOW T AU. SBUSOISTS TXBTWHM Is a compound of the virtues ot sarsapartU la, stillingia, mandrake, yellow dock, witk the iodide of potash and iron, all powerful blood-making, blood-cleansing, ami life-sustaining elements. It is the purest, safest, and most effectual alterative medicine known or available to the public. The sci ences of medicine and chemistry have never produced so valuable a remedy, nor one so fotent to cure all diseases resulting from mpure blood. It cures Scrofula and all scrofulous diseases, Erysipelas, Kose, or St. Anthony's Fire, Pimple and Face-grubs, Pustules, Blotches, Bolls, Tumors, Tetter, Humors, Salt Rheum, Scald-head, Ring-worm. Ulcers, Sores, Rheumatism, Mercurial Disease, Neuralgia, Female Weak nesses and Irregularities, Jaundice, Affections of the Liver, Dyspepsia Emaciation, and General Debility. ; By its searching and cleansing qualitiss it purges out tho foul corruptions which contaminate the blood and cause derangs xnent and decay. stimulates and enlivens tbe vital functions, promotes energy and strength, restores ana-preserves health, and infuses new life and vigor throughout tha whole system. No sufferer from any dia ease which arises from kppurity of the blood need despair who wM give Avsa'l Sabsapabiixa a fair trial, i It is folly to experiment with the nusaer ous low-priced mixtures, of cheap materials, and without medicinal virtues, offered as blood-purifiers, while diseasf becomes more firmly seated. Ayer's Sbsafarzlla is a medicine of such concentrated curativa power, that it is by far the best, cheapest, and most reliable blood-purifier known. Physicians know its -composition, and pre scribe it. It has been widely used for forty years, and has won the unqualified conn dsaee millions whom it has benefited. Prepared by Dr. J. C.

In miasmatic dis tricts, the rapid pulse, coated tongue, thirst, lassitude, loss of appetite, palm in the back and loins, and coldness of the spins and extremities, are only premonitions ot severer symptoms, which terminate in the tgue paroxysm, succeeded by high fever and profuse perspiration. It is a startling fact, that quinine, arse nic and other poisonous minerals, form the basis of most of the " Fever and Ague Preparations," " Specifics," " Syrups," and "Tonics," in the market. The prepara tions made from these mineral poisons, although they are palatable, and may break the chill, do not cure, but leave the malarial and their own drug poison in tbe system, producing quinism, dizziness, ringing in the esfrs, headache, vertigo, and other disorders more formidable than the disease .they Were intended to cure. Ateb's Ague Core thoroughly eradicatei these noxious poisons from the system, and always cures the severest cases. It contains no quinine, mineral, or any thing that could injure the most delicate pa tient; and its crowning excellence, above its certainty to cure, is that it leaves the system as free from disease as before the attack. For Liver Complaints, Area's Aau Curb, by direct action on the liver and biliary apparatus, drives out the poisena . which produce these complaints, and stim nlates the system to a vigorous, healthy condition. We' warrant it when taken according to directions. . . V" Prepared by Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co., I Practical and AxxalrUoal Chemists, Lowell, Mass. j wu si au pBwexixi inRmus, If pt2 fCg j
