Por.Tr.ANi, July 15, Is7.'5.
The above is nothing more than
we expect Oil long since. lie should
never have been "selected as tlie
Chairman of the Central Committe;
but alter he was, he should have re
signed forthwith after he concluded
to associate his political fortunes with
those of lien. Ilolladay, Esq. "We
are informed fromauthority which we
4x1 n rely upon, that on the Sunday
night before our June election, at or
about lli or 1 o'clock, the Chairman
of tlie Democratic Central Commit
tee, Dr.('J. A. Chapman was in close
consultation with such men as J. X.
Dolpli, H. W. tteott and other Rad
ical leaders at the headquarters of
the Radical 1 arty, at the residence
of Mr. Ilolladay. "We are further
informed that he did all his limited
inihicnce could, to aid the election
of tlie Radical candidate for Con

clined to call the Central Committee
together to fill th? vacancy occasion
ed by the resignation of Hon. L.
V. Lane, and voted for U. S. Grant.
liver since lie ha' xtsed his position
for the benefit of the liadieal party,
and, should have resigned long since.
The Democracy lose nothing by his
withdrawal. He has not been a
Dmnocrat onlv since lSuo, and then
was made so by the Democrats tak

electing him Mayor of Portland to

Holmes. He cevild not be elected
before the people, as the following
election he was put in nomination
and defeated by a handsome major
ity by Hon. D. Goldsmith, lie
carries with him no more than the
vote he casts and can do tlie Democ
racy less harm by going out of it
openly than by his pretending to be

time he was doing all in his power

worthless incumbrance, and you will
prove a source of annoyance to the
party yen now belong, instead of

w o
1'noM Eastkkx Oui'.c.ox. We Ic
low give an ext raet from a private
letter, under date of the 14th inst.,
written by a prominent Democrat at
the Dalles. We may here state that
O
his views are the opinions entertain
ed bv the Democracy of this valley
as far as we have been able to ascer
tain, and having recently visited
Polk, Marion, Linn and Denton
cYtunties
we have freely conversed
tl. snbioct. with lra,lii,.rmoml,.vQ
of our party on Ihe subject. The
writer savs:
" We are having but little political
excitement as yet. I most heartily
endore your idea about calling a
Convention and think the article was
a timely one. as there is a manifest
disposition in some quarters to have
thecmnuiiKdion made by the Central
v 'mm ii it v.
Sr.TTT.r.n. It appears that the ter
minus question is settled, and Taco
nu is the favored spot. Seattle bid
up pretty high, but seems to have
been defeated. We believe that Ta
coma was founded by Gen. M. M.
McCarver, formerly of this city, and
it being settled that it is to be the
northern terminus of the railroad,
will add materially to his worldly
stock. We congratulate him on his
-success.
The Marysville (Cal.) Appeal of
the Ilth instant; has the following:
44 A party consisting of four families,
and numWring about thirty persons,
old and young, arrived here a few
lays ago from North Carolina, en
route to Oregon. This party started
from their old homes in North Car
olina with a view of settling in Kan
sas, but on reaching that State were j
not pleased with the country and
pushed on toward Oregon.

Principle and Interest.
We have watched, says the Pitts
burg Post, -with a good deal of inter
est the development of popular sen-
timent uoon the salary trrab: and are
driven to the conclusion that as a 1
mass, the American people are much '
' i
more readily moved by a wrong per
petrated upon their money bags than
by an outrage committed upon a
principle, however sacred they may
affect to hold that principle. When
by general consent the popular re
publican President hail wifely re
solved that the result of the war had

stitutiolial existence it had been pro

... 1
nal influence with his own part
kept down all utterances of opposi
tion, while from the democratic par
ty no such utterances were to be
looked for, because his course was
regarded by them as the only one
which could be legally pursued.
Dnt ou the occurrence of his death
and the accession of Vice President
Johnson, the leading republicans
who had concluded to change the
whole frame of our government from
a Federal Union under the constitu
tion to a consolidated empire outside
of it, took courage at the idea that
Mr. Johnson, being from the South
and not as popular in the party as
Mr. Lincoln, could either be con
trolled by them or broken down.
A series of acts of Congress violative
of every rinciple of our government
were passed notwithstanding the ab
solutely conclusive arguments of the
President's veto messages, and they
were followed by the most military
absolutism ever known in any ago
or in any country. All these things,
violating as thev did dailv the most
precious prinbiples of civil liberty,
were sustained by the votes of the
people who blindly followed the
leaders of their party, overlooking
the injury they were inflicting upon
themselves and upon their children
in their greed to revenge themselves
upon tlie South. Revenge was sweet
and they enjoyed it to the full, and
tlie arts of civilization were invoked
in the unholy task of fostering an
unchristian spirit, by exhibiting in
painting and in miniature statuary
the delicate and reiined women of
the South, driven by sheer starva
tion to beg for the very smallest
quantity of the plainest food, side by
side with the muscular but indomita
bly lazy freedman.
All this they looked on, and re
joiced while they looked; thus pam
pering the lowest feelings of human
ity those which bring us nearest to
the brute creation; and in trampling
under foot the very elements of our
boasted Christian civilization, thev
forgot entirely that they were creat
ing prcedents which would most
probably be turned to a purpose, in
robbing them or their posterity of
their choicest inheritance, Constitu
tional Government.
Rut toiudi those people's purses.
Let a greedy President and a scarce
less greedy Congress slip their un
hallowed hands into the Treasury,
and you see with how much greater
jealousy they guard their money
than they do the principles of free
government which their fathers es
tablished, at such a great price in
blood and in self-denying suffering
and toil. The vista is not an attrac
tive one by any means. The people
should oppose the salary grab, but
they should not have permitted the
grosser sin to have escaped unwhipt
of justice.

A Slap ix the F.vck. The repub
lican State Convention of Ohio,
slobbered over Grant and his admin-
i Oration with the most fulsome and
j nauseating praise, and at the same
time denounced the Credit .Mobilier
frauds and back-pay grab. Grant
has given these champion sycophants
a square slap in the face by appoint-
nig .ionn liiner iam. one of tho
' t i . .
chief operators of the Credit Mobil-
ier and n staunch sum nr of
back pay-grab. Minister to Japan,
i i - -
thereby signifying alike his contempt
for their truckling hypocrisy and
his utter disregard for public onin- I
ion. We submit that, if there were
any doubt of Mr. Grant's endorsing
both of these swindles this a-u)0int-
ment of Bingham removes them
he stands revealed as their abettor
and defender.
Accident. Newton Zumwalt, of
Polk county met with a painful ac
cident last Sunday. He was on his
way to Lewisville, and while riding
along the road his horse fell upon
him, breaking one of his legs just be-

Tax-Payers, How Do You like It.
Our attention has frequently been
called to the over ofiiciousness of
our Deputy District Attorney, and
until now we uae ionium tu go
for him," thinking it will probably
be the last time he would repeat the
offense of putting the county to an
enormous expense in order to get the
" fee " paid by the State in trifling
cases of spite-suits, when the party
complaining would make the State
plaintiff, thus saddling the expense
of the trial upon the tax-pavers of
this county. The case we have ref
erence to now is one where a farmer
was prosecuted by the State for
chasing a neighbor's hog out of a
potatoe patch with a dog; the crime
charged was 44 cruelty to dumb ani
mals;" and the Prosecuting Attorney,
instead of dismissing the case, caused
a trial to take place, which resulted
in defendant's acquittal, as it should
have done, and putting the county
to SjO or $100 costs. This is the
.ray a Republican District Attorney
runs things. Do the tax-payers
want such men to squander their
money in this wise? If not, remem
ber you have it in your power to de
feat such men, who care more for
the 5 or $10 fee paid to them by the
State than the rnnning the county to
an expense of $."() or a $100, at the
next election. Let every taxpayer
spot the men, and party who sup
port them, and see that they are not
allowed to occupy public positions
of trust.
"What It Amouuts To.
A careful examination of the in
crease of salaries voted by the Rack
pay Congress made by the Chicago
Tril'iimi shows that the sum actually
taken out of the Treasury over and
above the sum previously required
to pay the salaries of the same offi
cials, amounts in round numbers to
a million five hundred thousand
dollars a year.
Yv'hat does this great sum of one
million and a half represent? At the
rate of live percent., which is the
higest rate of interest that the. Secre
tary of the Treasury is authorized by
the latest Acts of Congress to pay
upon one million is fifty thousand
dollars a year, upon ten millions live
hundred thousand, and upon a thirty
millions just one million and a half.
The salary grab then represents
thirty millions of dollars.
It is clear, then, that this swindle
has added substantially to the debt
of the United States the sum of thir
ty million dollar. In other words,
as the Stni puts it, if President Grant
and his Rack-pay Congress had taken
out of the Treasury thirty millions
in cash and divided it among them
selves the amount thus taken would
have been no more than equivalent
to the annual charge which their
desires have saddled upon the people
and the industry of the country.
Let farmers and other working
men think of this. Thirty millions
on which they have to pay the inter
est forever, because the President
and the Rack-pay Congress wanted
money to spend and took it. although
they had agreed with the people to
serve at the old rates of pay anil not
ask for more.
Gi:axt's Avakici:. The new Or
leans Tinex protests against the ava
ricious disposition of President
Grant. It says: "Without going
into details of horses and carriages,
and cottages by the sea, all of which
he has acquired without money and
without price, or specially referring
to his connection with 4 Rlack Friday'
in Xew York, we think that his dis
credible connection with the hack-pay
and front-pay grab, by which so
many Congressmen were morally and
politically degraded, sufficient to set
tle the question of Grant's avaricious
greed to the satisfaction of any rea
sonable being. We have nothing to
say against the President on the
score of inhumanity, but we do con
tend that his avarice is absolutly de
grading, and that his ambition is
neither generous nor noble.
Paid fob What? We have before
made mention of a liadieal Legisla
tor from this county getting a sur
veying contract from the Surveyor
General. As the Legislator referred
to is not a surveyor, and is allowed
$14 per mile v.hen the customary
juice is only $10, it might be proper
to ask for what was said member
paid a $5,000 contract? We also
learn that the said contract receiver
has sold a half interest to a third
party who knows nothing of survey-
lnrr
and we are auxious to see if the
i W approved by the Gen-
era! L.and Odice. e are also happy
to state that the tract of country to
be surveyed lies in a mountainous
country and that about one mile per
day is as much as the Statesman can
! pet over" Hc PolJ hililst'lf cheap,
l,ut tbe l0oPle of tllis county were
sokl ver-" dearb" iu allowing him to
! misrepresent them.

Senator Harlan.
This shining light of Radicalism
and peculiar representative of its
morality side, has recently been the
recipient of some well deserved com
pliments at the hands of the Sunday
Chronicle, one of Forney's papers.
It excoriates him most unmercifully,
and, we may add, justly. It says:
44 It is monstrous that, after a ca
reer stained with rascality and in
famy, this ex-preacher who received
$10000 from Dr. Durant, President
of the Union Pacific Railroad, to
elect him to the Senate because as
Secretary of the Interior he had cor
ruptly served the purpose of that
greatWindling corporation, should,
after his people in Iowa have repu
diated him, determine to remain
here at the seat of government, and
demoralize our people and render , "4 lJ"- I1"-" "i-
the Government still worse than it I Ver enJ oi Polk county. In Moll
is. There appears to be no means of mouth we noticed quite a number of
shaking oil' such political leeches
They cling to the last vestige of
power and of influence, like a drown
ing man to a straw. Harlan, instead
of going to some remote corner of
distant Iowa, or to the lava beds, as
he should, to hide the shame of his
career and repent of his misdeeds,
has the hardiness to buy a newspa
per here at the Capitol and hope by
its means,' and" button holing ollicial
acquaintances, to be still permitted
to gather up crumbs from the table
oil of which he once guzzled so
many full meals. Why does he not
realize his situation as Oakes Ames
and Rrooks did, and follow their ex
amrlo? Tlie country is tired of the
Credit Mobilier gang, and wants no
more to hear from them."
A Fine I'xample.
The little State of Florida affords a
line example of the results of negro
and carpet-bag rule. There is not a
dollar in the Treasury, and the bond
ed and floating debt, according to
the report of the Comptroller, is
$5,Kil,-i21. As there are less than
oG,000 voters, white and black, in the
State, taking the last Presidential
election as a test, it follows that each
voter's proportion of the debt is over
$lo0. Add to this tlie county and
municipal debts, and the average
will doubtless run up to $200 for
each voter. How the State funds
have been squandered was shown in
tlie account published xji the New
"iork Sun of the bond transactions of
M. S. Littlefied, a shining light of
the Administration party, who also
distinguished himself by his financial
achievements in North Carolina un
der the corrupt llolden administra
tion. A CoxTEMi'Tima: Arcrs.vnox fi:om

S. A. Clarke writes from the Mo
doc country to the New York 77''
that 44 the record of the Oregon Vol
unteers is stained by the murder of
four inoffensive, crippled, decrepit
Modoc prisoners," and that 44 it is a
stain that is indelible." This accu
sation comes from a little contempti
ble thing that has been kicked and
culled about our State by anvbody
and everybody, nnd is the editor of
the Oregon Fanm-r and one of its
publishers. Whenever his veracity
is known his stories will have but
little ef!ect. No sane man in Oregon
who knows him would believe a word

Not at za. Singular. The Phila
delphia Press says: ''Opinion every
where except in Illinois and Ohio
seems to be against the farmers'
movement with its present aims and
'principles,' and to conclude that
unless radically reconstructed it is
doomed to a short life." The Press
is not at all singular in its opinion.
We have never yet seen an Adminis
tration journal that did not believe
either a State or party was in want of
"radical reconstruction" the minute
it showed a strong Democratic ten
dency. Downtrodden pEor-Ei:. Tlie New
York E:rjress, fired by the flagrant
outrages in Louisiana, says: 44 Talk

downtrodden people why, the mere
recital of the wrongs of these Louis

Trip up the Valley.
We took a hasty visit up the val
ley as far az Corvallis the fore part
of the present week. Leaving Sa
lem we went over into Polk county
up way of Leboe's ferry. We passed
through a good portion of this coun
ty, and noticed that the crops were
extremely good. The hay crop is
most excellent, while the oats and
wheat crops are better than they have
been for many years past and a
greater breadth of land is sown.
We noticed that the little towns of
Independence and Monmouth have
considerably improved since our for
mer visit to these places. Inde
pendence is becoming quite an im
portant point, and is the shipping
new buildings going up, and the
Christian College adds materially to
the attractions of the place. It is
surrounded by the wealthiest part of
county. From thence to the Luck
iamute there is almost a continuous
stretch of wheat and oat fields.
From thence we went to Albany.
While there does not appear to be
any very noticeable improvements
going on in this place at present,
yet it looks in a healthy condition,
and the people are in good spirits.
From thence we went to Corvallis.
It has been three years since we vis
ited our old home, yet we found
many familiar faces, that we were
glad to meet. While the people com
plain of dull times and scarcity of
money, ' we believe that this town
has fully kept up witli its improve
ments to any town in our State. It
is beautifully located, and surround
ed by the very best agricultural
lands of our State, and we predict
that it will eventually make a place
of considerable importance. The
State Agaicultural College is located
i at thIs l)Lu' l,ides there are other
schools, and where such institutions
are, people are sure to settle. We
noticed the crops in Linn and Ben
ton look very tine. The hay crop is
extra large, and we noticed but little
of it exposed to the late rains. That
which was cut down, was generally
stacked up, so that the little rain we
had did it no material damage. The
oats and fall wheat are beginning to
ripen, and before the farmers can get
their hay crops out of the way, will
be ready for tlie reaper and header.
The farmers will have a voay busy
time for the next two or three mouths,
and if grain is in good demand at a
reasonable price we may expect good i
times next fall, ao there Avill be more
than twice as much wheat and oats
harvested in Oregon this year than
there was last.
Central Committee.
The Chairman of the Democratic
Central Committee having retired
and joined his fortunes with his early
love, it became necessary for some
other member of the Committee to
issue a call. This has been done by
Col. W. L. White, a member from
tliis county, setting Saturday August
0th, at Portland, as the time and
place of meeting. It is hoped that
the Committee will be full, and that
those counties which have no Cum
mittcmen will select a member. It
is important that tlu
should be full.
