If the county .had been out of debt, they would have been at par. They are worth that sum now, and have been up as high as 5. Rut in addition to this, the Radical retiring oilicers had contracted for bridges to the amount of several thonsau'd dollars which -the present Roard have paid.

We have a good ticket nomi nated, and I hope if there is any ill feeling, that it will give way to a patriotic desire for the success of Democratic principles, for it is the success of principle for which we should labor, for if the success of true Republican government is not to be attained through the Demo cratic partythe prospect is gloomy indeed, as the history of the ' past twelve years will. prove. While I entertain the highest respect for some of the members of the Repub lican party, the principles advocated by them are inherently dishonest.

It is a remarkable fact, that not a Republican journal or speaker in Oregon has a word to say about the enormous National debt that is accu mulating with fearful rapidity. Not a word explanatory of the fact that since the close of the war the expen ses in the maintainance of the Fed etal Government has increased to millions. Not a word is pronounced against those expenditures outside those consequent upon the war being higher than they wer,e prior- to the war, and still they have increased beyond all proportion. The 'expen ses of the navy which have doubled and the army which have trebled are received as matters of course as the legitimate result of peace. The war has ended, and the legacy of an increasing National debt is bequeath ed to the laborers and tax-payers of the nation by this Republican party. We present the case from ollicial iig nres, and give the expenses of the Government' since the war, outside interest on national debt, drawbacks, pensions and the cost of the army and navy these national expenses have been increased from ."jr':il,0I5,o58 up to i)l.(i8,r01 74 in 18(18, and again to j?75.7Vl .125 05 in 187:5. The actual appropriations for the fiscal year 187:3-4, were :J05, 0(10,250. For the ensuing fiscal year the estimates presented to Congress were $13, 138, 18b' 82 increase upon that enormous sum. If our Government had been honestly administered since the war, we would not be troubled with green backs, specie payment would be re sumed. Every man who has the best inter est of his country at heart, should well consider these facts before he casts his vote for the party that is loading the country down with the increased debt. 3f'rcti-. The School 3f:iey Swindlers. The law requiring the a-uuual dis tribution of the interest of the irre ducible school fund, was passed in 1800; but strange as it may seem, and the people certainly know it to be a fact, that there was not a cent received by the districts or counties until 187J, the following year after tiie present State Administration went, into power. The question naf urally is a:.ked, what was done with the money? "Wevill tell you. The Wood's administration speculated on it. and po 'keted tl." money and then left for Halt Rake, and finally one of them was returned to be tried, but we presume that under the Union Ieagnu pledge, the Radical jury which tried him had to let him go. Jb-niocrats. yon have the best set of oilicers in the State Department that have ever been iected in this State. Not one charge can be brought against it that there is any truth in, and they have been honest and faith ful to their trusts. Do you want another set tiiat will again rob your school funds ? Let Democrats vote the straight ticket. -o- 'I hat S5,)0! i'ce. And now, says the Xcn-s, while Ciovernor ( rover is being charged witii every Regislative act without regard to the. politics of the Legisla ture authorizing it that has proven unpopular with the people, and with all the burdens of Portland's munici pal government, we desire to ask wnether or not he is to blame for the act by which -'-, i( 10 were voted from the treasury of that city into the pocket of Mr. Richard Williams, the Ring candidate for 'Congress, as an attorney fee V Perhaps Mr. Williams, whose theme, upon the stump is the prevailing extravagance of the times, will give this subject his attention. It will be remembered that the city has an attorney, or pretends to have, at a salary of 1,800 per annum, and tiiat Mr. Williams, for his services in a single appeal case, which ought to have been attended by the City Attorney, if the man holding that office is lit to hold it, was voted this enormous sum. It may as well bo remembered that one of the oldest and most capable attorney's of this city offered to take the case for ."(() one-tenth of the Williams fee. A more outrageous piece of profligaey eannot be found in the records of the Government, State or citv. Court House Mobilier. A correspondent from the northern end of the county, asks us to remind the voters of this county of the little Court House Mobilier game played four years ago, in which the present Radical candidate for County Clerk played a very prominent part, and by which the county has been paying at least two hundred dollars per year IV ore than the rooms formerly occu pied could have been had for. This two hundred dollars per year would amount in the four years past to just tight hundred dollars. Charge this sum to Radical manipulation. Our correspondent states that a letter was kept back until the present con tract was entered into, in which Dr. Thessing proposed to let his en tire building for any sum the county was willing to give, and that he would have taken even two or three hundred dollars.. - Do the people want to re-elect the Court Houso Mobilier? - I Washington, April 27, 1874. The political results of the Presi dent's veto are' likely to be of great importance. The leadership of the Senate is henceforth vested in Senator Conkling, and the Republican party is disturbed to its very centre by this financial conflict. The question will undoubtedly enter into the fall cam paign, and some very marked changes will be made in the personnel of the next House of Representative. The inflationists propose to try again and this time to effect their object, if pos sible, by means of a free banking sys tem, by which the various National Ranks will be authorized to inflate, under certain restrictions. It appears to be conceded that t: ere is to be no addition to the four hundred millions of greenback currency; but as the South and West will insist on a re distribution of the currency so as to allow those sections to obtain their share of the baud issue of the coun try, it is thought the consequence will bo the" introduction of a free banking bill which will give the country banks sufficient currency to satisfy the demands of their business. It is believed that a bill similar to this can be framed which cannot be vetoed by the President and which even if vetoed can be passed by the required two-thirds majority. The only obstacle in the way is that Pres ident Grant insists if any system of free banking be inaugurated it be coupled with some clause tending to a resumption of specie payments. On this subject, however, all the leading Senators are very reticent, though the Pacific Coast members appear to be the the people will most confident that su port this action of the President. One of the most obvious results should the President not have vetoed the Finance Rill, would have been to open the door to all sorts of extrava gances in legislation. The power that could have manufactured "mon ey" at pleasure would not need to be scrupulous in parting with it. Evidence of this has been afforded by the revival of the Centennial Ap propriation Rill, en last 3Ionday, with a better prospect of its being passed than ever before. The Cen tennial Roard of Finance have, during the past week for popular made a fresh appeal subscription to their stock, they do not however abandon the more direct plan of seeming aid and still announce that they rely on Congress for assistance to the tune of :5, 0(XM '00. This being the case it is expected if they are unsuccess ful in their present endeavor to re cent) popular support, they will use their disappointment as another and more conclusive argument in favor of a Government subsidy, and may possibly succeed in persuading Con gress to take a similar view of the matter. It is hardly necessary to add that so far from justifying a na tional appropriation their failure now to prove that the centennial scheme has any hold on the public feeling outside of Philadelphia would deprive Congress of the faintest ves tige of excuse for appropriating a single dollar; that in fact a more un warrantable levying of a tax on the property of the nation, could hardly bo perpetrated. Moreover, if it is proper for Congress to give at all, there is no reason for its stopjung short at .ro.0!0,000, even if it was ever supposed that it would be al lowed to do so, the prosjiect, however, is we shall soon hear this question discussed both pro and con. as the House have decided to devote the oth of May to its consideration. The Massachusetts legislature have succeeded in electing a Senator in the person of Mr. Wasburn, the nresent Governor, a man with a de- cided views about perfectly sound on 3'utlerism and financial ques- tions. It is generally accepted with satisfaction, but it required thirty two ballots to prepare people for any solution of the solemn problem, as it was considered to be, of selecting a successor to Charles Sumner. The Simon-pure Rutlerites in the legisla ture proved in the last analysis to be small, and the Essex statesman ap parently loses popularity and power at home as he acquires it in Wash ington. Nearly all the time of the Senate, during the past week, has been de voted to the discussion of the Louis iana case. Mr. Rayard has offt-red an amendment to Mr. Carpenter's bill, ordering a new election, and it is now pending a decision. It may be as well to say first as last that it is useless to refer to either bill or amendment, for there is every indi cation that the administration party intend to maintain the existing Statas.

Cleveland. Ohio. : Our Special Wahiugton Letter. Tel man as a IiObbjIst. An ' exchange says the " Little Joker," who is now playing the farce of running for Governor on the Re publican ticket has heretofore given substantial proof of his devotion to the interests of the Ilolladay -Hippie Ring. He " has done more service and they know it," for his nomination. which accounts At the session of the Legislature in 1870, Tolinan was an iudustrious, prominent member . of though not the Railroad Lobby" he couldn't be prominent anywhere and he did his little best to get Williams elected to the Senate through the purchase of Derooerntic votes. He was an active co-worker in this dirty scheme with Ike Moores, Geo. Cole and Dr. Loryea, those em inent Republican leaders. Rut the enterprise failed for the very ob vious reason that there were no Dem ocratic votes for sale. Again at the session of 1872, Tolman was present with the same disreputable crowd, contributing according to his ability to the election of another of Holla day's attorneys to the Senate. This time he and his confederates were more successful; for it chanced that there were " votes for sale" though not Democratic ones. And there was no lack of buyers; so the trade was made without difficulty ; and that public indecency, the election of Mitchell, was consnmated. It was by congenially small work of this kind that the : Little Joker" endear ed himself to the Ring and secured the doubtful honor of his present nomination. . n lApcfisivc Justice. The luxury of a Radical Justice of the Peace in Oregon City precinct is very apparent. At each term of the County Court we find more or less bills against the county for some In dian trials or other frivolous offences, which could as well be settled as to put the county to costs. At the last term of Court two Indians had been arrested S our months ago for stealing a bottle of cider. One of them gave bonds, the other has cost the county about 100 for board, while he could have been released on his own cog nizance and the county saved that much. Rut that is not the end. At the trial, these Indians were set free and the verdict of the jury was " not guilty. The trial and expense at tending this case does not, probably amount to less than -100 to the coun ty. The indid vidua! who might have at least saved the tax-payers one-half tins sum is a candidate on the Radi cal ticnet for Countv Treasurer.. His name is W. P. Ruins, and was for merly hneriif. The people probably will remember this at the polls next June. From Salem. A private letter to us from Salem, under date of the 21st ult., gives us the following in relation to Gov. G rover's and Proxy Dolph's speeches in that place: " We had a' good time here last Monday night in seeing the Govern or skin Dolph in the discussion at the Opera House. Dolph was the worst used up man I ever saw. He made the same old . charges against the State Administration that he made at the Radical ratification meet ing at Portland the evening of the Republican Convention. Governor Grover was armed with the facts and the record to prove them all false which he did in the clearest manner. As Dolph was forced from his false hoods, the immense audience testifi ed their appreciation of the Govern or's convincing logic, by storms of applause. Dolph was utterly dis comfited and sneaked home very early next morning like a whipped cur. The people of this city are highly delighted at Dolph's rout and many Republicans who have hereto fore believed these infamous slanders published by the li'illcfin vand ped dled by the railroad attorney, against the present Administration, but are now convinced of their entire falsity, openly declare they will vote for Guv. Grover and the whole Demo cratic ticket. The Rev. Thos. Campbell, the In dependent candidate for Governor, has proved himself a liar, and when a gentleman who professes to be a fol lower of Christ, is found and proven guilty of telling lies, his statements should be taken with great allowance thereafter. It appears that he denied when he was charged with being a political weather-cock and anything for office, that his name had been us ed by his consent in the Democratic Convention for Superintendent of Public Instruction. At Albany the letters he had written to parties ask ing their support were on hand, and the Reverend Campbell took a hugh hump on Jus back and came out like a little man and acknowledged the fact. In 1S70, Dick Williams canvassed tha Second Judicial District against John Kelsay for Judge, and in favor of the late A. J. Thayer. We are anxious to know if he will now throw his influence against Kelsay, who is again the nominee of the Re publicans for Judge, and 'whether Judge Kelsay will now use his influ ence for. or against Williams? Like produces like. ' A Serenade to the Governor. The Eugene Guard says that Got.. G rover was serenaded by the brass, band on the evening o5 the 1st inst.t at his hotel in that oity The Guard gives the following account' of the speech made by the-Governor on the occasion: "A crowd gathered in front of the building,, and the Governor being called outr delivered a telling speech some liftven- minutes in length, in whiali he showed that this no-party cry was simply a snare to lull the people into security and the better enabla the opponents of Democracy to- permanently engraft upon the Government their theories of high tariff, irredeemable curren cy, a strong centralized government supported by rxjaaepoly, an aristoc racy of wealth asd the corrupting influences of vast executive patron age; that the questions of Govern mental policy that shook the nation when Gen. Jackson throttled that monster of corruption and centraliz ation, the National Bank, were still before us with strength renewed and increased by the fact that during the excitement and confusion of the late civil war, they had ceased to be discussed, and now instead of one national bank, weiiave tvo thousand, and instead cf protection for a-few branches cf industry, we have pro tection for everything tluit was like ly to come into competition with foreign manufactures, while inonop ly and credit mobilier had increased a thousand fold. His remarks were received with loud applause, which indicated their effect." Cikcclale Democratic Newspa pers. The Examiner has frequent ly urged upon Democrats through out the country the inqiortance of circulating local as well as metropo lital Democrat journals. It is only through such medium that the hon--, est. but bigoted, members of . the Radical party can learn the true con dition of public affairs. The news papers of the dominant party, of course, represent everything on their side in favorable light, and tha nnthinking masses of its adherents blindly support it in all its damna ble corruption, until a preception of the truth presented in . some. Demo cratic journal causes the scales .to. fall from their eyes. If Democrats will yield a hearty support to their party press. Radicalism will soon be swept from the land. Kxmniner. A Bad Example. In his reply to Davenport, says the Times, we were sorry to hear Dick Williams rehearse a very vulgar story, which was neith er witty norpointed, to the audience, among whom were a number of la dies and young persons, aud also to. denounce Mr. Davenport as a liar..
