Of those going' out on the Itlr of next March, there are seven Dem ocrats, three Independents- ami six teen Radicals- The Democrats carry all the States where members of their party go out, with the exception of California, and in that State Gov. Booth, Independent, has already been elected. It is understood that Gov. Booth will act with the Democracy in that body, so the Senate will be oven, nti far as the outgoing Demo crats are concerned. In the present Senate the Democrats Lave twenty members, and they will gain as fol lows: Connecticut, Florida, Indi ana, Missouri, 5cvr York, Pennsyl vania, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia, making a gain of ten Senators. Gov. Bootli will be the only Independent in the Senate, as all those put down as such, go out next March. ; Adding Gov. Booth to the Democratic column, and we gain eleven. This gives the Democrats 31 Senators beyond a question. There is a vacancy from Louisiana, which will 13 tilled by the Legislature which is Democratic, and in Minne sota and Michigan the Democrats claim the Legislature. If we elect in all theso States, we have thirty -four Senators against 40 Radicals. In 1877 iifteen Radicals and nine Democrats will go out. These Dem ocrats are from States which will un questionably return either the pres ent Senators or Democratic succes sors. They ave from Alabama, Del aware, Louisiana, North Carolina, Kentucky, Oregon, Tennessee, Vir- ginia, and "Yes;t V There is hardly n possibility of tho Radicals gaining a singles Senator from these States. Tho seats filled bv Radicals, wliicli will become vacant on the 1th of March 1S77, are: Arkansas, Illin ois, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Massachu setts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missis sippi, Nebraska, New Nampshire New Jersey, Rhode Island, South Carolina and Texas. The recent elections woull indicate beyond a doubt that thcADcmocrats will gaiu Senators out i the above named States as fol.LAs: Arkansas, New Jersey, Texas, New Hampshire and Illinois, making five to be added to the Democratic jolumn, certain, giv ing the Democrats 39 against the Radicals' 35. Now g if we take t'.;e two from Miuipsota and Michigan from the I)eiAcratie column, we r have tho Senate' a tie. But from the fact that a great revolution is going on in politics, it is safe to calculate that the Democracy will make great er inroads on thd Radical States than wo claim in th above count, and ctherc can bo hardly any question but w hat the Democracy will have a clear majority in tha Senate when the Democratic president shall take his seat on tho 4.ti of March, 1S77.

Below we give a correct list of the forty -four tli Congress from all the States which have thus far had their elections. Tho 'States yet to elect are California, 4; Connecticut, 4; Mississippi, G; and Xew Hampshire, 3, seventeen in all. Of these, ihe Radicals have-in the present Con gress thirteen and the Democrats four. It is safe to calculate that in the next Congress the Democrats will get two from California, two from Connecticut, four from Missis sippi, and two from New Hampshire, making ten out of the seventeen. That would give the Democracy 1S5 against the Radicals 107, or a clear majority of 7G. This is equal to the present majority of tho Radicals and shows a most remarkable change in the national halls of legislation. The term of the forty-fourth Congress commences on the 5th of next March. But unless a special session is called, it will not meet until the first Mon day in Deeembcr, 1875.

An immense mass' nice ting was held on the 8th tilt., at Selma, Ala bama. The following resolutions, introduced by Wm. Brooks, one of the most prominent Democrats in Alabama and President of the Seces sion Convention in 18G0, were unani mously adopted : Rusolred, That tho people of Ala bama, rejoicing at the restoration of the fraternal feeling between the States of the American Union, are manifested in the recent elections, and assured that the second century of our national existence will be an era of unparalleled progress, harmony, and unity in tho work of achieving the grand destiny of tho American people, send their happy greetings to their sister States, and unite with them in rendering to Almighty God thanks for the signal redemption of Alabama and the entire country from misrule and corruption. llesolred, That wo embrace the present moment of triumph as the appropriate occasion to renew to the country the pledges contained in our Democratic and Conservative plat form, and especially that the rights of all classes of men must be respect ed and preserved inviolate. It was the grandest political dem onstration which has ever taken place in Selma. The city was illu minated and a torchlight procession nearly a mile in length passed through the streets. Guns were fired, and tho utmost enthusiasm prevailed. Distinguished speakers addressed crowds of people. Almost too Goon. Says the San Francisco Examiner : It would be a very wholesomo event if Jeremiah S. Black should bo elected to the Son ate of tho United States from Penn sylvania. His appearanco in the Senate, the New York Sun thinks, would be like bringing back the days of its greatness when thero were giants there. In intellectual ability, moral courage, fidelity to his convic tions, and weight and steadiness of character, Judge Black is one of the very first men in the nation; and there is no other who is so much feared and so justly hated by the Pennsylvania "ring" of which Bill Kemble. Bob Mackev. Bill Mann. and Simon Cameron are the special ornaments. The election of Judge Black to the Senate is something al most too good to be hoped for. Very Possibly. Tho Sua says very possibly one reason why Gen. UraDt cannot learn anything is be cause ho has so much bourbon in his veins. When Martin Van Buren retirod from the oftleo of President of the United States he went to Kin derhook and engaged in raising cab bages. It is conjectured that Gen. Grant, when he withdraws to the shades of privato life in tho vicinity of St. Louis, will find his principal diversion in the cultivation of old rve. Annivejisaky. The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Beriah Brown, of Seattle, well known ia our State, gave them a handsome surprise at their residence on the occasion of the anniversary of tho twenty-fifth year of their wedding. "Wo trust that they may live to enjoy many more anniversaries, and that their future years may be pleasant and full of happiness. ' Tf.iuuislf- Storm. A dispatch under date of tho 2Sth ult., froru Tuscurabia, Ala., says that a terrible tornado has just swept over the State j leaving a path of complete ruin and desolation in its wake. This town suffered tr a fearful extent. Houses were blown down, trees torn up by the roots, and timbers sent flying through the air in every direction. The noise made by the wind was deafening, and the whole jieople completely panic stricken. Over sixty people were killed, and as many more wounded. The tornado left a large number homeless, and deprived many of tho means of sup port. At last accounts provisions were giving out, and it is estimated there are at least 400 people in des titute circumstances. This town alone is damaged to the amount of half a million dollars. Reports from the surrounding country only aggra vate the stories of distress and suffer ing. The ruins of the residence of State Senator Moore were removed after the storm and Mrs. Moore found on a bed, with two heavy tim bers lying across her body. Two children were found crushed out of shape and dead. John Hodgkins was blown out of a second story window. His house was blown down, burying his brother's family. On removing the ruins Hodgkins' wife and four children were found, all crushed to death. The house of Mrs. Winslow was blown down. She was found killed by a heavy ward robe. The loss of life by the torna do will not be less than sixty; fully as many wounded. The next time you see Watkinds ask him where he resides; and if he don't tell you he is living out at the penitentiary, family and all, with these same curtains, boarding and lodging at the expense of "us tax payers," Noltner, then we give it up. Balletin. "We need not wait to see "Watkinds, as we Jciiotr that his family docs not reside " out at the penitentiary," but on the contrary, live in a very nice house in town, nextdoorto Coulter's brick. Tho next time, Mr. Bulletin, you go to Salem ascertain the fact from "Watkinds as to whore his fami Iv residence is. Good for Minnesota. Latest re turns from Minnesota indicate that the Democracy have carried the State, electing a majority of tho Legislature, two, out of three Con gressmen, and insuring the defeat of Rani soy for the United States Senate Ramsey is the chairman of the Postal Committee and author of the bill for a postal telegraph, which would, probably increase the annual defi ciencies of that department by some millions, at the expense of millions of people who could not use tho tel egraph. Tho Oregon City Enterprise, pub lished by our old friend Noltner, has entered upon its ninth volume and presents a more tone-y appearance than ever. It would bo a difficult matter to make a paper pay within thirteen miles of Portland, to any body but an old wheel horse like Toney, but ho makes it pay by giving plenty of local news. This" insures him plenty of support from political foes as well as personal friends. Men take country papers for their local news, chiefly; and the publisher who gives tho most matter of home interest, will be apt to make the most money. Coo. But Xcics. A CotAjWhei) Party. The quad rilateral of Liberal journal, " "Where is dot barty now?" asks tho Cleve land, Ohio, Leader. The Chicago Tribune gone back to Republican ism; Samuel Bowles' paper trying to do likewise; the Conrier-.foftrnal and St. Louis Republican, gone back to Democracy, and the New York Trib une hanging on the ragged edge. " Leaf by leaf tho roses fall." IIas Lost Its Grip Somewhat. Grant's homo organ, the "Wachington Republican, has the cheek to say that the Radical party "holds the confi dence of tho country to-day as it has held it for years. The peoplo believe in its principles." It seems to us the results on the 3d ult. should con vince the Republican that that party has evidently lost its grip somewhat. The " Beast " SrisMissrvi-:. Tho Boston Trareler, Ben Butler's mouth piece, becomes pious in the days of its patron's afilietion and exclaims: Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous; nevertheless afterwards it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. m . -- Democrats Only. Speaker Blaine is gone to Maine laid tip with the chill-blaincs, remarks the New York World, contracted in the sudden Democratic storm. Blaine of Maine now stoutly and tritely adheres to his remarkable prophesy, that Dem ocrats, and Democrats only, can still the strife in the South. Ix Hit. On receipt of the news at Seattle of tho Democratic victories in tho East, young Beriah Brown illuminated his father's house, unbe known to the old gentleman, who had just got through a hard campaign for tho Radicals of that Territory. We are glad that the son has inher ited some of the Democratic blood that flowed in tho veins of his sire in his younger da vs. SmuorsLY Ir.ii. The many friends of Hon. Jas. II. Slater will regret to learn that he is dangerously ill with pneumonia at his residence in La Grande. We hope to hear soon of his complete restoration to health again. COURTESY C? BANCROFT LIBRARY, UNIVERSITY CF CALIFORNIA, Oregon City as a Place lor Mamil'ac- torics. There can te no question but what Oregon City presents tho best in ducements of any place in the State for the erection and successful car rying on of manufacturing enter ' prises. There have been in the past, woolen mills started in various parts of our State, yet none have compen sated those who invested their monev except the one located in this city, and it has beeu a paying institution ever since its erection. This is lie cause of its location and convenience to market. Like all other manufac tures, the principal market must be Portland. Men do not go to the manufactory to buy their goods, but they buy of tho merchants when they purchase aU their goods. No kind of manufacturing enterprise can bo started in Oregon but what it must import more or less of its raw mater ial and send its manufactures to Portland to be sold. Hence, the closer the factory is located to its purchasing and selling place, the less expense it will be in the matter of freight. This, to an establishment of any pretensions, is considerable in a short time, and is of great im portance. Oregon City is centrally located; has steamboat connection tho entire year to within a few miles of Salem, and all the year on the Yamhill river. This supplies a great part of our valley. While we have uninterrupted river navigation the entire year to Portland, where at least nine-tenths of all goods manu factured are sold. Thus it will be seen that. the nearer the seller and manufacturer arc located together, tho less will be their expense for freight. This item alone is worth thousands of dollars per year to any manufacturing enterprise. What we have said of the woolen mills in this city, may also be said of tho flouring mills. The water-power hero is unequal led in any part of our State. It is true, other places have good water power, yet not equal in any respect to what can be ollered here. There is sufficient power at this place to run machinery from here to Portland on both sides of the river, if properly used. But all theso advantages will not avail Oregon City if her citizens will not make the proper use of them. Other towns are building up on tho very foundation which nature has placed here, and if wo desire to reap the benefits of this great gift, we must use it. Tho water-power and its advantages have long been known but as yet but a little of its capacity has been brought into use. If our citizens desire to prosper and become rich from this store-house of wealth, they must put it to use. Once in use, our little town would become the attraction of capitalists from all parts of our State, and other coun tries. It is to bo hoped that the induce ments offered by this place to get the Homo Manufacturing Company to locate here, will be successful. Some of our citizens have shown a very liberal spirit; and we regret that all are not hearty co-workers in this movement. No man who has any interest in this place has a right to expect his neighbor to give toward an enterprise that will enhance the value of his property while he him self refuses to aid. It is a matter of material benefit, and those who are to reap the results of it, should be ready to give of their means. We have canvassed the city for subscrip tions during tho past week. Some have come out handsomely, while others have said "I know it will be a great benefit to the town aud enhance the value of property," refused to give anything on the ground that they don't approve of subsidizing persons. This is but a dodge to get out of pay ing their portion for their own beno fit. If a man is worth in realty to day 1,000 in Oregon City, and the location of this institution in out place will make him worth 2,000,. he is not giving anything he now has, but only gives off of the increase cre ated by the enterprise being located here. We hope thst the meeting to be held for the final consideration of this matter, this (Friday) evening, may be fully attended by those who feel interested in tho prosperity of our town. The meeting need not confine itself to the consideration of this particular question, but might, with profit to our town, discuss other matters of interest. Let no one stay away but let there bo a full attend ance. Remarkable. It is somewhat re markable how quiet the South has got all at once. We have not had the usual Ktt Klux reports from that section since the election. Old Flax brake and his tools should keep up sending those "outrage" dispatches at least for a week or two after the elections. It is now conceded that old Williams is the greatest political demagogue and "outrage" manufac turer in the land. The stockholders of the Granger Publishing Co., organized last Sat urday evening and elected the fol lowing officers: President, C. P. Burkhart; Secretary, A. S. Mercer; Treasurer, A. B. Morris; Directors, C. P. Burkhart, Allen Parker, A. B. Morris, Geo. Simpson and S. Mont gomery. C. P. Burkhart will occupy the position of Business Manager, A. S. Mercer will be the editor, and Thos. Parker foreman. The first number of the paper will appear next week. ' Place of jmblicatiou, Albany. r ! SUMMARY U' STATU M5WS. The skating rink in Portland is in full operation.

Hayes, of Long Tom, lost 50 head of cattle in the recent freshet. Twas cold at Baker City last week; mercury twenty degrees below the freezing point. The Catholic library at Jackson ville has GOO volumes which are loan ed out freo of charge. Four or five steamboats loading at one time at the Albany wharves is not an uncommon sight. The farmers in tho Umpqua nro shipping wheat to San Francisco via Scottsburg and Gardiner. A Swede named Olif Benson was drowned near one of ihc Columbia river fisheries on the 21st ult. Micheal Clifford, of King's valley, Benton county, who has been para lyzed for some time, died last week. A grand Fair by the ladies of Port land, is soon to be held, to aid in the completion of St. Vincent's Hos pital. A Mr. Pago who lives near Forest Grove had his leg broken by being thrown from a wagon several days since. Columbia City Grange was organ ized in Columbia City by Mr Mcln- tvre, Deputy Grand Master, on the 24th ult. The remains of Mrs. A. Myers, who i lied at Salem a few days ago, will bo embalmed and taken to Ohio for burial. The temperance people of Rose burg contemplate getting up a grand temperance festival during the com ing holidays. Hon. W. W. Bristow was lying dangerously ill at lloseberg last 'Thursday. " His family had been tel egraphed for. John Moore, son of E. M. Moore of Roseburg, had his leg broken last Thursday for the fourth timo in the last twelve months. We learn that Hon. P. C. Sullivan of Polk county is Ivin dangerous! v ill from the heart disease at his rcsi deuce in South Salem. The Capital Lumbering company, of Salem, are shipping large quanti ties of lumber to San Francisco to bo used on the Palace Hotel building Tho Engone City Guard character izes Dr. Haskell, tho temperance lecturer and showman, as a "bail egg," and "the worst pill in the box." The State R'xjltts Danocrtrt. tells a harrowing tale of tho sallerings and ultimate death of a poor woman who had just arrived in that city from Iv nsas. A Imiv fourteen years of age, son of J. H insaker, the new Postmaster at Goshen, six miles south of Eugene City, fractured his thigh bone by a fall on Friday last. Mnjor Morton Tower assumed his position as Deputy Collector of Cus toms at Empire City last week, his appointment having been confirmed by the Department at Washington. Si. Williams, of Hillsboro, fell sixteen feet from the roof he was shingling, last Saturday, injuring tho small of his back and producing partial paralysis of the lower extrem ities. - The Willamette Woolen Mills are running on two thirds time, employes commencing work at 7 a. m., and knocking off at 4 r. m. They will run on full timo again after Janu ary 1st. The People's party, of Salem, have nominated candidates for city offices, as follows: For Mayor, Thos. II. Crawford; Recordev, Peter II. D'Ar cy; Marshal, W. L. Morris; Treas urer, Lafayette Williams. 'Lish Applcgate was seen the other day, at Eugene, making some haste toward tho grave-yard. He said he was in a hurry and couldn't wait to answer questions. He wanted to se cure a lot in the cemetery before it was removed to Portland. The Statesman uuts a conundrum: Why are not all "tho Federal offices in this State concentrated at Port land? WThy should any of tho in land cities or towns have Federal offices or officers when Portland is so handv? Tho Lafayette Courier says: "Old Yamhill" seems to have gone back on the woman suffrage movement. In fact, we might say she has degen erated somewhat. At last accounts they were without a quorum. Too bad, too bad. The Jacksonville Tunes says: "lien Holladay and wife passed through town the other night in their own conveyance, but drawn by the Stage Company's horses. Consequence Stage late, no mails, ami everybody disgusted, as usual." The remains of Looney C. Bond, an old citizen of Albanj', and once Sheriff of Linn county, were brought up from San Francisco on tho last steamer and buried in the cemetery near Albany. lie was much respect ed by all who knew him. The Baker City Herald, speaking of the municipal election at that place, saj-s: The Democrats claim four out of the five Trustees, the Recorder and Treasurer. The Mar shal being a tie, will probably be Democratic, if tho Board determines the matter. . Tho Coos county Record, speaking of that county as a fruit-growing section, says: Mr. Culver, on Coos river raises from six to ten thousand boxes of apples every year, and four or five hundred boxes of pears, to gether with large quantities of plums cherries, etc. These are disposed of on the Bay, or held till the last part of the season and then shipped to San Francisco, when they will net Mr. Culver SI a box. A Horrible Case. East Portland is the scene of a horriblo and disgusting case of rape. The facts, as shown by tho evidence submitted at the examination before Judge Denny last Tuesday, are as follows: One evening about the latter part of January, 1S74, Mrs. Stromeir (one of the defendents) came over to the house of Mrs. Harris and asked if Ada could not come and remain with her (Mrs. Stromeir) during the even ing. Her husband belonged to a band and had to play at a ball that evening, and she felt a little timid about staying at home alone. Mrs. Harris gave her con.?ent, and Ada ac companied Mrs. Stromeir to her home. In the testimony it was shown that the houses occupied by Messrs. Harris and Stromeir stood side by side. It, was early in the evening when Ada went over to Mrs. Stromeir's house. - From about 7 o'clock to 10, Ada and Mrs. Stromeir sat by the stOTe, engaged in conver sation. About 10 o'clock Mrs. Stro meir arose and said it was time for them to go to bed. Ada said that she would retire to bed with her clothes on, as her mother had spe cially charged her to return home as soon as Mr. Stromeir should come back. Mrs. Stromeir told Ada that unless she undressed herself she could not get into her bed. At length Ada disrobed herself and went to bed. Meantime Mrs. Stromeir had locked all the doorsof the house. A few minutes after they "got into bed, Mrs. Stromeir told Ada that John DeBorst would soon bo there, and that she (Ada) must consent to let him occupy the bed. On hearing this Ada began to cry, and said she would go home. The woman told her that she must remain there and make no noise, if she valued her life. Just then there came a rap on. the window; when Mrs. Stromeir saying that it was DeBorst, bade Ada get up and uilock tho door. This the girl refused to do, when the woman arose, and opening the door, admit ted DeBorst, who began to undress himself. Ada became much alarmed and declared that she would go home. She was prevented from doing this by the woman, who caught hold of her arm an forcibly detained her. Ada testified that the woman told her that she must submit to the em brace of DeBorst, and to enforce obe dience, drew a knife, which she held near her head and threatened her with death if she did not tamely and silentlv submit to the outrage. Over powered and terrified by the threats of violence, Ada was compelled to endure the violation of her person. She testified that DeBorst, after hav ing accomplished his fiendish pur pose, dressed anil went away. Soon after lwing dishonored, Stromeir re turned and Ada went to her homo. She testified that she was restrained from telling her parents of her shame and disgrace by threats which were made by the woman, Stromeir and DeBorst, who told her that they would kill her if she ever dared to tell any person what had transpired on that night. She had carried the wrongs silently in her own breast until a few weeks ago. After several witnesses were examined, Henry Stromeir, one of the defendents, was discharged, on motion of tho prose cution. Ho was called as a witness by tho defense- after Thomas Harris was examined, and failed to put in an appearance. Not being able to find him both sides rested the case. Short arguments, pro and con, were made by Messrs. Ball, By bee, Cronin and Upton, when the case went to tho Court. Judge Denny, after a brief summing up of the evidence, held the defendants to answer the charge of rape before the next grand jury. No application was made for bail, and none was fixed by the Court. The prisoners were remanded to jail. ! Charles Harris, brother of the out- j raged girl, sought IXdJorst last Mon- j day with a double-barrel shot-gun, but unfortunately both barrels snap ped, and tho wretch made good his escape by running like a quarter horse. Had the boy succeeded in planting both charges of shot in the carcass of tho wretch, public opinion would have said he did right. We hope that the fiends who perpetrated this outrage, will get the full penalty of the law, and then they cannot get too much. The SriiciF. Question. It is likely tliat this will Ik a lively question before Congress. A dispatch of tho 1st to the Chicago Tribune from Washington, says: ' No tlonbt both tho President ami Secretary Dristow, in their communications to Congress will take a very decided, position in reference to specie payment. "While no ono is permitted to speak with authority, it seems certain they will recommend Congress to fix by legis lation an early day for coin resump tion. That day will bo January 1, 1870. It seems probable- if such recommendations are sent to Con gress the financial discussion and excitement of the last year can scarcely bo avoided, unless commit tees shall decide to avoid discussion by declining to report back financial measures. This course has already been suggested by Congressmen who are opposed to determining the time of specie resumption by legislation. Congressmen generally do not seem to have modified the financial views held by them last winter. Conver sation with a considerable number indicates no appreciable modification on either side of the question. Hard money men, very determined in their views, .state they are prepared to make the financial question a nation al issue. Those holding contrary opinions are not so nearly agreed upon a policy. Some favor forming a national issue upon tho question of speedy coin resumption; other de precate such an issue, and are averse to fixing by law a day for specie re sumption." Beakded in- His Dex. Open war, remarks tho Xew York Tribune, seems to bo declared upon Senator Conkling in his own home. Tho de feat of the editor of the Utica Herald by the Senator's law partner, who was the Democratic candidate, has been tho last straw to break the cam el's back. A Vulu:i,R.
