Name territory de sired in writing. Address 1 Waters Co., Publisher, Chicago, P.l. OREGON CITY, OREGON, FRIDAY, One-Term vs. the Third-Term. From the Sun Erancisco Examiner. Several of the Democratic resi dents at various times expressed their views m reference to tho tenure of the Presidential office. It waS their deliberate judgement that the inter ests of the people required that there should be a constitutional amend ment to prevent the Chief Magistrate being las own successor. "Whether tho term should be four or six years was a question that thev mnsirp,! should be determined by the people. The present Executivehas not com mitted himself by any official decla ration on that m-onositinn in studied reticence has hi friends to bring his name forward as a candidate for n. tl.ii-.l- there is little doubt that if nnv imllt. ical organization would place' him in nomination for a third-term he would gladly become its candidate. Ihe Kadieai party, in its conven tions, with few exceptions, have been silent on a probablo issue of the coming campaign. Pennsylvania has spoken against making any inno vation on the example set by the early Presidents, and even went so far as to suggest the name of the present Governor of the Keystone State as Grant's successor. But the course in that body cannot be re garded as a true indication of what the Had ical party might do a vear hence, ran ft to him in needed , The fact of selecting Hart be a candidate only places a position to retire when and give all the iniluenee with which he favor of Grant, may be invested in should the lladical party in other States urge his re-nomination. The Democratic party is fully committed to the one-term principle. It Mas a conspicuous plank in the platform of the Baltimore Conven tion, and it is the settled conviction of the Democracy in every State of the Union that it must be a promi nent issue in every Presidential con test, so that the people may pass up on it and then endeavor to engraft it into the constitution by an amend ment to that instrument. It is diffi cult to add a new article to the or ganic law as it requires the assent of so many States; but popular senti ment can settle the question in any single contest by the direct action of the electors in selecting between a candidate who is up for a second term anil one who is not. The finan cial question is only of secondary importance? compared with the one we have already mentioned. Hud Greeley been elected in the last con test, the resumiitiou of specie pay ments would have been an accom plished fact before now. By the election of Grant to tho second term the question of the reconstruction of certain States, according to the ideas of the lladical leaders, has been used to serve as a pretext for electing him to a third term, and matters are now in Ijouisiana, after many years of ex perimental legislation, that aflairs are in greater chaos in that State than they were six years ago. Her people! are more impoverished by many millions than they were several years since, the debts of the cities, parishes and of the State have been vastly increased, her labor interests have been demoralized by the carpet baggers who have governed her. In fact her condition is rapidly assimi lating to that of San Domingo, and instead of going abroad to purchase a place of that name, as was once at tempted to be done, -we can truth fully say we have a our doors. San Domingo at It is the immense patronage of the President that leads him into errors. Grant was well aware that he was ex posed to the malum iniluenee ot office-seekers and sought to shield himself from their machinations by the passage of the Civil Service Be form Act; but that failed of its pur pose and is now considered n redicu lous sham. Long tenure of office now has a tendency on the President that did not exist in early times. In former times the great interests of business were administered by indi viduals, or hy small companies, now they are directed by powerful organ izations of monopolists whose capital gives them the employment of great er numbers of persons than the Gov eminent has. The transportation corporatations, in the aggregate. have larger incomes than the Feder al Government, and the National Bauks, embracing nearly two thou sand corporate associations, have business transactions greater in amount than tho grand total of every department of the I ederal Adminis tration. The leading ideas in the minds of the members of these corporations transjiortations or banking, is to com bine and centralize their iniluenee. And one of the greatest means of consolidating their power to hav the Chief Magistrate of the Union chancred as seldom as possible. His continuance in office gives them wh thev consider an advantage deserv ing their political influence. The dancer of electing a President to second-term, in these days of corpor ate organizations' is that it invites the moneved power, on tne pretext of giving'stability to national securi ties or other interests, to combine for giving him a third-term of the snpineness of the people would allow them to carrv out their plans. The maintenance'of the one-term princi ple is the anchor of safety for the liberties of the Republic. Ihe one-; term is now spoken of too freely to : be agreeable to the public ear. The j next" Presidential contest suouiu oe j ' foue-ht by the Democracy on the j same issues as those of the last, and ; it is almost a certainty that the ex- ; ample of the Grantism in its second i Administration will convince the people that the one-term principle only will save ua from anarchy and I centralization, ' COURTESY OF BANCROFT LIBRAHY, UNIVERSITY OF CALIFOPJilA, Story for the Married. After having been married some weeks it came into the head of a young husband on Sunday; while he lad little to occupy ins mind, to suggest to his wife that they should plainly and honestly state the faults that each had discovered in the other since thev were man and wife. After aoiue hesitation, both stipulated that the rehearsal should be made in all sincerity and with an honest view of lettering each other as otherwise it would be of no use to speak of the faults to which marriage had o2ened their eyes. The husband was of the same mind and the wife asked him to begin with her faults. He was somewhat reluctant but his wife in sisted that he was the tirst to pro- )Ose the matter, and as he was the lead of the house, it was his place to take the lead. Thus urged he be gan the recital. Tie said: "My dear one of the tirst faults observed in you after we began eeping house that you a cood deal neglected the tinware. Yon don't. eep it scoured as bright as if si lOllld be. My mother always took great pride in her tinware and kept it as bright as a dollar. I am glad you mentioned it .lPn v " said the wife, bin sin" no- utti hereafter you shall see no speck on cup or pan. Tray proceed." I have often observed." said the husband, " that you often use vour dishrags a long time without wash ing them and finally throw them away, l or when at home, I remem ber that my mother used to wash out her dishrags when she was done us ing them and hung them up where they would dry ready for tho next time when she would need them. Blushing as before, the young wife promised to amend this fault. Ihe husband continued with a most formidable list of similar faults many more than we have space to enumerate, when lie declared that he could think of nothing more worth mentioning. Now," said he, " my dear, you begin and tell me all the faults you have observed in me since we have been married." The young housewife sat in si lence her face Unshed to the tem ples, and a great lump came in her throat which she seemed to strive to swallow. Proceed my dear, tell mo all the faults you have observed in me snar ing none." A rising suddenly from her peat the little wife burst into tears and throw ing both her arms about her hus- md's nock cried. " My dear husband, you have not a tault in the world. It you have even one, my eyes have been so blinded by mv love for you that as have been long as we have been married, I cave never once observed it. In my eves you are periect; anil an that von do seems to me to be done in the best manner and just what should be done." " But, my dear,' said the husband, his face reddening and his voice growing husky with emotion, " just think; I have gone and found every manner of faults with you. I know 1 have many ten times as many as von ever will have. Let me hear a few them." " Indeed, husband, it is as I tell you you have not a single fault that I can see. "Whatever you do seems right in my eves, and now that I know what a good for nothing little wretch that I am. I shall at once begin the work of reform and try to make myself worthy of 3011." "'Nonsense, 1113' dear; 3011 know I sometimes go awa3 from home and leave you without any wood cut; I st.iy up town when I ought to be at home; I spend monev'for drinks and cigars when I ought to bring it homo to .you; I " " No yon don't," cried tho wife, " 3-ou do nothing of the kind. I like to see 3ou enjoj yourself; I should bo unhappy were 3011 to do other wise than just exactly as you do!" " God bless v-ou little wife!" cried the now subjugated husband; "from this moment you have not a fault; I was but joking don't remember a word I said!" and he kissed away the tears that trembled in the little wo man's C3es. Never again did the husband scru tinize the tinware nor examine the dishrags, never so much as mention ed one of the faults he had enumer ated, but soon after the neighbor hood women were wont to say: " It is wonderful how neat Mrs. Smith keeps everything about her house. Her tin-ware is always as bright as a new dollar, and I do be lieve that she not onby washes but even irons her dishrags!" And the neighboring men were heard to say: " What a steady fellow Smith has cot to bo nf late: ho don't spend a dime now whero he used to spend dollars, and never can be kept from home half an hour when he is not at work. He seems almost to worship that wife of his." Now "Wonders. Snook's I-03 heard him sav the other dav that there was money in hens, and he proceeded to investigate the old mans poultrj- yard. He had gone through a dozen fine specimens when the old gent decended upon him, and the boy now wonders if there's a balm in Gilead. "Would Melt Out. Massachusetts Radical papers acknowledge that without the assistance of the Butler element the party would melt out of the politics of that State. At a Fearful Rate. The election being close at hand, all the navy yards in the country are preparing to build ships and things at a fearful rate. OCTOBER 10, 1874. Interestiii": from Loui-dana. A dispatch under date of the inst. Bays that the report publi: 8th died in regard of troubles in St. Martina Parish and that the White League were under arms, are untrue. . In formation received at New Orleans from prominent citizens of New Iberia, contradicts the reports. Col onel Leblanc, who is here to-day, says the statements concerning af fairs in St. Martin's published in certain papers yesterday, purpor ting to be based on a dispatch, are utterly false. Neither at that time nor since the arrival of troops, have citizens been under arms in this part of the parish. All are quietly gath ering their crops. Conservatives of this city are greatly excited by fear that Governor Kel logg will sign the bill passed by the Legislature last winter, providing a new charter for the city, and giving appointment to him of all city offi cers from Mayor down. Under a decision of the Supreme Court of this State, the Governor can hold a bill passed at one session of the Leg islature until its next annual meet ing, without either vetoing or ap proving it. For nearly eight months it is charged, the Governor has held this bill in suspense over the heads of the people and munici pal Government. The bienniel elec tion for Mayor and Administrators, takes place on tho 2d of next Novem ber, and candidates have just been nominated by Conservatives for the positions. They claim that the city is Conservative by a large majority, and that tho ticket will be elected unless tho Government interferes under the decision above referred to. The Governor may sign tho new charter bill even after the election. An address was issued to-day by the Conservative leaders, protesting against any such action on the part of the Governor, though expressing the hope that no such intention exists on his part. The address concludes as follows: "Without in tending to use any language of men ace, we declare that in our opinion any such a-t would be attended with the most serious consequences, and would greatly endanger the public peace, which we do most earnestly desire to sec: preserved." A Vi:i:v Loosk Man. For the past da3 or two, says the Providence . ua, there has been in this city a col ored man who presents in himself a queer physiological freak. Heisol years of age, thick set, of medium height, of fair intelligenee, and was born in Manchester. Kngland. He guins his livelihood by exhibiting himself to physicians. His abdomen is naturally full, but at will, without the use of his hands, he gives it a wave-like motion, and it gradually sinks in as if being wound up, until it apparently rests close against the back-bone, and he presents tho ap pearance of a man with no abdomen, and then, in the same manner, he rolls it out to its original form. He then drops from under his ribs duplicates, can be distinctly felt and counted, and the whole front of the body is. as it were, iron-clad. Or, at will, he apparently drops his head from its natural position some twelve inches, puts it back, and sends it to the right side of the body, opposite its natural position, puts it back and sends it to the lower part of the bod3 011 the right side, thus putting it in four different positions. During these changes the two sounds of the heart can bo distinctly heard in eith er of these new positions, and not whero they are usually heard. It seems to be necessai'3, however, that after each chango it should go back to where it belongs before being sent to a new quarter. Ho also has the power to stop the beating or his heart at will, from live to ten seconds at a time, the pulse stopping at the same time. He seems also to have consid erable strenth, easily bending b a blow on the arm, a heavy iron cane which he carries. Several of our prominent pli3sicians have examined him from one of whom wo have ob tained these facts, and pronounce him to bo tho greatest curiosity in pli3siolog3r the have ever seen or heard of. The husbands of Santa Clara are having a world of trouble. The im pressible females of that burg have lately been converted to the Adven tists' Seventh Day Faith, and refuse to cook for their families on Satur day. The husbands of these ladies not relishing this new departure, and not wishing to havo proselytes made of their wives, complained against the Adventists, and asked the Town Trustees to remove them on the grounds of being a nuisance. The tent was moved, but not far enough to cure tho evil, and the poor husbands gained nothing. DxAr.oETCAii. The most diabolical pun ever invented was perpetrated by a ver3 harmless sort of person, the other evening. When Mr. So berleigh read that a father in the West had chopped his only son in two, he innocent remarked that he diden't think they ought to arrest a man for simply "parting his heir in tho middle." Nothing Like It. A Cape May 3'outh used the deeds of his father's "farm for gun wads. The stamp on the bottom of the document wasn't any thing like the impression the old man made on the same part of the lad's anatomy. Portland, New Hampshire, held a municipal election, at which the Democrats elected the Mayor and a majority of the Alderman and Council. This is the only Demo cratic victory in that city for sixteen vfearsi Ludicrous Scene in a Pulpit. A South German paper relates the following: In a Bavarian town of tho most pronounced Catholic orthodoxy, the priest preached lately against the Old Catholics, and reiated such hor rible things about them that his pi ous hearers were literaly horrorstrick en at Old Catholic impieties. At last the preacher cried out, "The Old Catholics are so vile that thev will be all cast into the pit, and if what I tell you is not true, may the devil take me now on the spot!"' His excitement was terrible, and he so struck the cushion that the book fell from it. Not far from the pulpit there sat an American, who had a negro ser vant with him to whom he beckoned to take the book up to the priest, who, perhaps, had never seen one of those sons of Ham in his life. The negro at once obeyed, and as he mounted the lowest of the pulpit steps, the clergyman repeated his wish that the devil might come and take him if what he said against the Old Catholics was not true. Al though the negro went softly, the preacher heard his footsteps, aud, turning round, saw a black object solemuly, steadily, and surely ap proaching him. He looked at him with terror, and believing that he would be the next instant collared hy his Satanic Majesty, he cried out with a trembling voice, "It is, after all, possible that there may be good people among the Old Catholics." Turning then round to see if tho ob ject had disappeared, he saw it still steadily approaching. Tho prespira tion burst out on his brow, and full of despair, he called out, "There are even many good peojde among tlie Old Catholics!" Thinking that this would suffice, he turned round, but what was his horror to find that the object was close at hand. Imagin ing himself in the very grasp of Bel zebnb, turning partly to the negro and partly to the congregation he cried out, "May the devil come and take me if all the Old Catholics are not better than we are!"' Tho terri fied priest fainted from the fright, and it was only after some time that he recovered. Cash and Core. The Radical press in discussing the condition of affairs at the South, in the opinion of the New York llVW, exhibits of late some remark' able periodic vibrations between the mood of gush and the mood of gore. Not manv months ago it was tho fashion with many lladical journals to denounce the Kellogg usurpation, and to bewail the fate of South Car olina. Gush was cheap, the infamies and the crimes against libertv and civilization at the South, w ith which the Radical part had loaded itself, were too heavv a burden to be car ried continuously through the year, and Radical editors and politicians having no remedy to offer the South and the country at large for the ills which the party had inilictcd upon the South and the whole country by its Southern policy, glibly indulged in gush about them. On the eve of the elections the old crv of "gore' is raised, which in the past has been so often raised as a pretext for grind ing the South under tho heel of the Radical partN", and which is now rais ed for the purposo of gulling North ern fools into the belief that the Radical party alone can avert anoth er rebellion and preserve the Union But fools of the raw head and bloody bones stories about the riouth are not as numerous at the North this year as they were three or four years Por.TKvrrs of Two Gkkat Mex.- Since Grant has demonstrated that it requires neither brain nor charac ter to be President, the Pittsburgh Post thinks there will bo aspirants from every base ball club in the countiy; all sorts of stupid, impecu nious creatures, who think they would like fifty thousand a year to spend at watering and w hisky places, behind fast horses and choice cigars, with a comfortable winter residence in Washington for three months, w ill bo eager for the situation. This is about the range of responsibility w hich has entered the common mind since the creature Grant tumbled into the Executive chair. Tho re cent State Convention of the Ring, reasoning b analogv, w as correct in resolving that Hartranft was just as fit as Grant for the Presidency. He was originally- a Democrat, passed tinhurt through the war. and has a number of brothers-in-law, likes to dabble in stocks and take an interest in outside investments, knows all about horses, seldom opens his mouth, but looks wise and sufficient lv robust to stand nine months' trav eling and draw his salaiy. Cruel Ways. "What Women Wear," gloomily muttered Charles Aucrustus. as he read the heading of an article in his newspaper; "I know what one woman wears, and that is Amelia Acmes. hho wears ii"i v lionvt nut with lmr Pl-llf-1 waVS and it is time for the fashion change." to Something of a Philosopher. The Cincinnati Enquirer is something of a philosopher. It observes: Next to a Democratic victory- there is noth ing so generally desired in this sec tion of the State as a soaking shovrer of rain. The Erfene Guard says: "Prob abl3 not less than one hundred per sons from the Atlantic States have located in Lane county during the ' past two months, and all seem to be well pleased yvith our State and its i prospects. NO. 51. Au Arkansas Father's Son. Advice to hi Bob, you are about leaving iiorno' for strange parts. You're going to throw me out of the game and go it alone. The odds is agin you, Bob -but remember always that industry . .urn iji&erverance are tne winning cards; they are the "bowers." But larning and all that sort of a Ihhif? will do well to fill ui) with, like trumps, but you must have the bow ers to back them, else they flint worth shucks. If luck runs agin you pretty strong, don't cave in and look like a sick chicken on a rainy day' but hold your head up and make be lieve you're flush of trumps; they won't play so hard agin you. I've lived and traveled around some, Bob, and I've found out that as soon as folks thought von held a weak hand they'd buck agin you strong. So when you're sorter weak keep up a bold front, but play cautious, be satisfied with a pint. Many's the hand I've seen euchred 'cause they played for too much. Keep your T -, -.-1, 1 "ill, fjl-s siiiiiuuu, jjuij, iiuii t let trm nig on you; siecoJIect the game lays as much with the head as with the hands. Be temperate, never drink, for then no matter how good your hand, you won't know how to play it, both bowers and tho ace won't save you, fur there is sartin to be a " miss deal" or some thing wrong. And another thing, Bob, (this was spoken in a low tone,) don't go to much on the women: queens is kinder poor cards; and the more you have of them the worse for you; you might have three oi them and nary a trump.
