The people of Oregon will soon have au exciting election on hand, anil it is beginning to cause considerable wire working already. TUo Democracy is fixing up its slate, or rather its leaders are, and it becomes Republicans to get their house in order for the light. There is no reasonable doubt but what a ma jority of the people of Oregon are in harmony with Republican principles, and will vote the ticket if no disorgan izing elements are allowed to 'control the conventions. The Democracy w ill have to make its fight on the defensive. They have the sins of the past six or eight years of administration to answer for, and the people will hold them to a strict accountability; hence the Repub licans have a decided advantage- in the contest. Rut we see a disposition on the part of some of our Republican friends and exchanges to force a certain policy into the nominating conventions, which, if Carried out, will have a tendency to in jure the prospects of success very ma terially. There is another evil which should be guarded against. Parties who have an ax to grind are at work to secure friends in the conventions, and, of course, this being done by one, will bo followed by others; thus, instead of the conventions being a representation of the will of the people, they will be but the personal representation of the tricksters who have been successful in getting their delegations. To this kind of work the Republicans will not sub mit. There must be a fair and honest expression of the party, and the action of the majority will be cheerfully ac quiesced in. We want no "setting up" of delegations for any particular man, or set of men. We want a majority of the Republicans to select. If this is not done, we shall lose all the advan tage we possess now against our oppo nents. If the people make their selec tions, they will pick good men. There is no uouui oi mar, ana luoii mo will cheerfully come up to the support of the ticket. The diilerenecs, if any exist in the party, .should be speedily settled, and the success of thj party placed above the will or aspiration of any man. The Democracy will present a solid front. They may quarrel among themselves, but when voting time comes they walk up and never scratch a man. Republicans aro not the tools of party to such an extent, and when there is foul play or a bad man placed on the ticket, they exercise the right to defeat him. Let us put our party in order. We need only harmony, true Republi cans and no dead weights to insure a grand Republican victory next June. The course of President Hayes has done much to give us a strong hold on every conservative Democrat, n:v.1 many will support our ticket if we only act so as to get our own full strength. Set aside personal animosities, labor fur unity, and success will be our reward. Prospects in Ohio. "The Democracy started out In high glee over its prospects for success in Ohio. It seems that a wet blanket has been thrown around tho corpse, and its managers are hardly able to keep it from decomposition. Recent dispatches say that in precincts which have given as high as 1,000 majority, there has not been over twenty-five or thirty voters that have registered. Under the laws of that State, all voters must register their names before the 2'2d inst., or tb.ey are debarred from voting. There seems to be a perfect apathy in the ranks of iha Democracy, and while it looked fa vorablo foriheir success a month ago, it now indicates that the Republicans will get away with the State by a very lair majority. Wo never believed that Ohio would go back on the President, her favorite son, and his recent visit to Lis old home brought tho party up to that point of unity and enthusiasm which argues that success will follow. The Republicans of Ohio are making a bard fight. There is a seat in the Sen Ate to fill in place of Stanley Matthews, who was appointed to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Secretary Sherman, and the Republicans do not propose to have it tilled by a Democrat. The Ex-Collector copies approvingly the following extract from the Cincin nati Commercial : Tho Republicans of Ohio would have liad a sure thing of carrying the State by a large majority this fall, if so many of them had not been tender-toed about the administration. Do the gentlemen with sore toes contemplate doing any thing in the conn ry in opposition to the administration? The only thing they Can by possibility accomplish is the encouragement of tho Democratic party in its intolerable pretensions. Taking the circumstance into consid eration that this is a vigorous portrayal of just what Scott is doing himself, it is about the sublimity of cheek for him to be casting stones. The big boy is going to f ume, blubber and scold until he gets au office, and he will then lie come as meekly sycophantic r.s the worst of them. Don't you remember what a tool you were under tho Grant regime ? .San Francisco papers report the re ceipt this year from Colnmbia river .canneries, to Sept, 11th, of 500,703 -cases of Salmon; from Rogue river can nery, of 3,207 cases; from Puget Sound, 2,019 cases; from Frazier river. 14,031; and from Sacramento river. 11,508 cases. Almost all the salmon on the coast now tinds its way into that market. '"V V i Wii.it Hakes Towns. The Standard publishes an article which we believe shows very plainly what our town could be if we but used the advantages presented to us, and that we are, missing the golden oppor tunity. There i3 no derying the fact that we havo the greatest water power on the coast, and the only reason Ore gon City is not to-day prospering is because we fail to use it. While wo regret this, we rejoice equally at the .prosperity of adjoining towns, as we are not of that selfish class who, if we do not enjoy the prosperity duo us, dis like to see others go ahead. The Stand ard, under the head of "What Rnilds Up Towns," says: On a recent vi-it to Albany we were much pleased to note the rapid advance made in improvements and the increase of its population. There is no disguis ing the fact that Albany is going ahead faster than any other interior town in the State. Many will say that its fine location in the very heart of our agricul tural section is the cause of this Vapid and marked prosperity. Rut we believe that it is entirely owing to other and more important causes. It is true that Albany is surrounded by as fine an agri cultural country as there is on the face of the earth, but the products of the county aro divided with at least half a dozenprosperous and enterprising towns among which we may name Ilarrisburg, Tangent. Lebanon. Ilalsey and Rrowns ville. Of course, Albany does not re ceive the benelit of the whole of the im mense wheat crop and other products of the county. It goes to the nearest ship ping point. The mills at that place, and its railroad and transportation facilities, give the town a decided advantage. Rut other towns enjoy the same, and aro at par with Albany in this respect. In our opinion Albany has a better and surer foundation for her future prosperity, and that lies in the energy of her people in establishing manufacturing enterprises. Ever since the completion of the Leba non and Albany canal, the people of that town havo all shown a very laud able disposition to help and assist in every possible way the establishment of all kinds of manufacturing establish ments. .No man goes there but finds, not only encouragement in words, but in actual assistance. Thus many indus tries which employ a great many hands have been inaugurated, and the product of these manufacturing establishments have brought a return for the advances which have been made. The last good enterprise established at Albany is the twine factory, which is already receiv ing more orders fur its twine than it can possibly supply. This factory is said to make a superior article of all kinds of twine, and employs from fifteen to twenty hands. Resides this, it gives the producer of flax a very liberal price for the henip. Thus it helps the farmer and gives others employment besides those actually engaged in manufactur ing. We believe that Albany's manu facturing enterprises aro to-day the foundation of her rapid growth, and the town which shows the most public spirit in this direction is sure to take the lead and distance all others m both wealth and population. Shall We Realize III We think there are not two sentiments in regard to the evil of the Chinese in our midst. It is true tho Democracy claim to be the only opponents to Chi nese immigration, but we Lav9 failed to find any Republicans who favor this class as citizens. They are an evil to our State, and we would like to see their coming here checked in some way, es pecially if it can bo done without injur ing our trade relations with the Flow ery Kingdom. The Democracy has promised us relief from this curse, and in view of the fact that it now has a large Democratic majority in the Cali fornia Legislature, wo shall watch with anxiety to see whether it will lo the same as has been done in Oregon by the party. Resides this, we aro free to con fess that the indications are very favor able for that party to have a majority in both branches of Congress. In that event there would be no obstacle in their way to carry out the promise that has been so often made. The San Francisco Call, a Republican paper, speaking on this subject, says: The first difficulty in California ex perienced with our Chinese population was in 1S53, when large numbers came to the State and threatened to overrun the mines. The Democratic party was then iu power, and it made efforts to arrest the incoming tide. It sought to tax by a license system the Chineso who were working in the mines. The effort did 1 ave the effect of part'ally stopping the billowing population. From that time to tho present, however, the strug gle has continued, but tho Democratic party has opposed the immigration of the Chinese. That party has now con trol of the State Legislature and is in a fair way to control Congress. Under such circumstances, it will not be too much to expect a strong effort to be made, both in the State and National Legislatures.to restrict the immigration of the Chinese. Indeed, it has been urged that it was only necessary to sup port the Democratic'party to be rid of the alliiction. President Hayes is accomplishing much toward bringing about au entente cordiale between the hitherto estranged North and South, and in so doing is winning the approbation of the fair- minded of both parties and spot inn Q but we hear occasional growls from the hot her.d3 of both sides, tho ultra Re- I publicans thinking his conduct a base I surrender and the rabid Democrats are fearful it will result iu tho capture of ' their party, bag and baggage. Out of ; evil cometh good, and President Haves , ,. . AX ' 1,lJe!l peace." t0 A convention of colored people consider the project of emigrating from the South, at Corinth, Miss., recently, was attended by some -four thousand persons, including three hundred dele gates from other States than Mississippi. The proposition to emigrate to Africa wa3 not looked upon with favor but the proposition to emigrate to Arizona ! ,r . rr. New Mexico or Texas was approved. ) A Good Imlorscr.' Senator Dawes, of Massachusetts, stands up like a man and says, in a long interview on tho political situation, "I don't intend the President's southern policy shall fail for want of my support. I think it is the duty of the Republican partv to see that it does not fail for want of its support." If it fails, he thinks it will bo "because the better element in the South does not assert itself."- He considers tho southern pol icy a necessity, and objects only to the way in which it was carried out, as he would havo simply withdrawn the troops and forced thepeojile to take the re sponsibility of the result. Mr. Dawes is radical in his retrospection, and thinks that tho manner of treatment of the South by the last Administration eufee bled tho Republican party. He holds that under no law did tho President have any right to employ the military, in a political way, we presume, in the South. He thiuks the southern people ha,ve not so far acted in a manner that is encouraging to the President, but he does not believe in distrust of them until they havo demonstrated that the confidence extended to them has been misplaced. ' As to tho attempt at civil service ro form, tho Senator is in doubt. His theory is tho ouo universal among hon est citizens that "the best men should bo appointed to tho public service," a selection that must be made under the unwritten laws of common sense. It is instinct to a certain extent, he believes such instinct as leads men in the choice of partners in business pursuits. Asked as to his opinion of the right of Con gressmen to control appointments, he replied: "To my mind it makes but little difference to which the appoiuting power surrenders itself, unless it is emancipated from any other control except its own judgment of the fitness of each man to the place ho is assigned, and unless it is so emancipated it will never bo reformed." The new system he puts with the old, which "has proved a failure and was fruitful of mischief." In conclusion the Senator aggregated his ideas upon civil service ia this opinion: "Tho be:--t civil service I can think of is to h't each ono of these be nntram meled by any artificial rules; select his own subordinates according to the dic tates of liis own judgment, and hold hiai absolutely responsible for a result which he cannot thus throw oil' his own shoulders on Congressmen or cm civil service rules. If the head of a deart uient is tit, then ho is lit to select his men and discharge the duties of their respective- places. I look upon all arti ficial conclusions, either of the politi cians or of the doctrinaire, that attempts to substitute something else for this in stinct, judgment or sagacity, whatever you m y call it, at war with all theory of government which might and does hold the head resnonsso r i lo. v Gci:. Writ. T. teherinsm. This distinguished soldier and patriot arrieed at Portland last Siturday. He is a fine-looking old-fashioned gentle man, with none of tho assumed airs which generally belong to men of small brains, either in his address" or dress. He is plain and unassuming, which is always a sure sign of tho greatness iu any man. The history of Gen. Sherman in the late war is well known to every citizen of tho Union, and he holds his present position at tho head of the mili tary force of the country as a fit recog nition of the great bravery he displayed in aiding ho subduing of the rebellion He is 'oi years of age, ami looks as though he was good for many years ynt to render his country good and activo service. The Xew York Times sees in'the finan cial outlook a genuine return to trade prosperity, saying that "we have got beyond the formula which long served to check despondency and sow the seed of hope. 'The bottom has been reached,' is a phrase that no longer satisfies. Im provement has actually begun. We see signs of it everywhere in the bus tle of wholesale houses, in tho more cheerful tone of the retailers, in the street 'throng, and in tho presence of strangers from all parts of the country. There might be some reason for ques tioning of tho sufficiency of this evi dence if it was at variance with the ex perience of other places. Fortunately, what is true of New York is equally truo of the other great distributing centres." The Norfolk (Va.) Landmark (Dcm.) does not favor the plan of nominating Mr. Tilden again to get even with tho result of the Electoral Commission, saying: The Stije of New York gave us Sey mour, Greeley and Tilden as our candi dates, and in each case we were told that the iulluence of the Empire State would Recuro a Democratic President. In each case, however, we found this an empty promise. Mr. Tilden's State has had three consecutive nominations, and it is mere folly to talk of putting him up again. Tho South has been do ing the hewing of wood and drawing of ' "KVJlfr l-rjnr enminrfi ond io 1 RS.fi will uave something to say about the man to be nominated.

He will not a.jsail tho President's motives, but will claim that the President has no more right to cir rtonscribo the lawful action of a Fed eral official ?than ho Las to prescribe what he shall think. New Yokk, Sept. 23. The Worldi Washington letter, received from a pub lic man on the Pacific Coast, says the Pacific Coast delegation will urge upon Congress, at the coming session, the great necessity of some legislation on the Chineso question. Tho report of the joint commission of Congress, on this subject, was not even considered in the last session, owing to the over shadowing interest in the. Presidential contest.

S.vir Lake, Sept. 21. Tho Tribune to-morrow will coat-ait the following: The committee of the Grand Jury ap pointed to examine the records c f the Salt Lake County Probate Court, con cluded its labors last night, having dis covered a vast amount of judicial cor ruption in tho matter of granting fraud ulent divorces. The report of the Grand Jury shows that 40-L eases have been determined in this Mormon tribunal within the past twelve months, and that nearly the whole of these illicit divorces wero obtained by parties not residing within the Territory. If it is made to "appear to the satisfaction of the court that the plaintiff is a resident of the Territory, or desires to become one of Utah, the statute assumes to give the Judge jurisdiction over the cae. In compatibility of temper is a satisfactory cause for divorce. Gentile citizens manifet-t a strong feeling of indignation against the Probate Court and tho.-'e who are known to bo engaged in tho infamous Utah divorce business.

Tne patent, office fire originated from spontaneous combustion among a lot of non-patented chemical matter stored in the it: tie on the Ninth street f . out. No fire was made in the conservative to-day, nor Lad there been any made in the build ing. The principal loss falls upon the 'patent office. The original copy of the Declaration of Independence and relics lot Lreu. v asuintrton were saved: also Franklin's printing press. Nearly all tho specifications and original drawings of the patent otueo were saved and from these models can be reproduced if nec- essarv. Manv eletks of tho interior de partment, laud, Indian and pension ofiioes have been ordered on duty to night, assorting books and papers and drying those which have been damaged by water. The military aro on guard duty at the building, where they will remain until the records and public property are secured. None of the land ofiice records are destroyed, but ! many seriously damaged by water. Tho records of tho application divis ion, the office which first receives the application for patents and of which papers no copies were made, were saved. The most valuable models that were saved were these relating to sewing machines, firearms, printing presses, locks, safes, Ac. The models of reapers, mowers and various agricultural im pliments were destroyed. A temporary room will be erected at once. The damage to the building is variously es timated at from $300,000 to $500,000, while that from the destruction of mod els and other valuables belonging to the patent ofiice is almost incalculable. Tho arches which formed tho ceiliug of the second story and upon which the iloor of tho third story vested, are so badly damaged by tho heat aud water that many must be torn down. The marble of the outer walls aro considerably dis colored and cracked. It is supposed the fire had been smouldering beneath the roof, which was fire-proof, for some hours before discovered. Two or three fires occurred iu tho neighborhood, caused by sparks; loss small. Foreign. Paris, Sept. 22.

Lonpon, Sept. 2G. A correspondent at Paris telegraphs that the electoral period, namely, that in which pnblio meetings may bo held, has now been open two days; but there has been no excitement in consequence in Paris, where meetings are not necessary, as the success of the Republicans is almost a foregone conclusion. In the remote provincial districts, no idea can be formed abroad of the bitterness of men already arising between the political parties. They aro like two hostile na tions confronting each other and ready to come to blows. Never before did this painful animosity attain the in tensity to which it has been since the 10th of May.

Wabash Ave CU1CA.OO CANCi:il CAN HE CUKED, Cancer lias from time immemorial been a great scourge to the human raw, and is now becoming the greater. Vor mnnv vears it has, been held by the medical profession, and gen-, trady believed by the ioople, that Cancer i$ incurable : that once its roots take hold upon a victim, t here is no chance for a sutTerer to escape a lingering and terribledeath : a death surrounded by all that is disgusting and hor ribly not only to the sulferer. but to his friends. Happily t his fell destrover need nq longer be Jeared. Dr. H. T. Iiond, of Phila delphia, a well known phvsician, of large ex perience, h:is for four years devoted himself to the special study and treatment pf Cancer, and the result of his experience is his dis covery f. r the radical euro of Cancer, without the use of cither knife, caustic or plasters. niu niuitu; pant. The majorit y of persons are greatlv deceived in regard to t lie lirst s.vm4nms and appear ance of this most dreaded disease, considering it painful from the commencement. This is a sad mistake, carrying thousands to an un; timely grave-. In most cases there is little or no pain until the disease is far advanced.' i'lie. only symptoms lor many months, and even for years, are oecasicnally a stinginc' darting, stabbing, shor,tmir, smarting, itch ing, burning, crawling or creeping sensation, and some cases not any or these. If i malady is growing worse instead of better, it is conclusive evidence it is of ai malignant character, and demands inline: diate attr ntimi. If you ha ve a branny scaly, warty appearance, wit h an x-casional break ing out of these upon the lace, lip or nose, or any ot her port ion of t he skin, attended with any of the above symj toms, ot a sensation of a 11 y brdng on it, of a hair tickling it, is cer tain evid-'nee it is Cancer, and there should be no delay in using I r. I;ond's treatment. Life is too valuable to be tampered with. 1 r. Komi's fivat merit consists of an "Anti dote" lh;:t is applied locally : this at once ar rests the growt h of the Cancer, and by chemi cal action neutralizes, its malignity, render ing it Harmless and changing it to n simple sore, which nature, assisted by constitutional remedies, soon in-als ("when the skin is un broken, and t lie Cancer is a hard tumor, the Antidote loes not make an open sore, but re-mov-s it !.v absorption). In connection with the Antidote is uvd the .-eciiic, taken in teinaliy. This tones up the general health, stri-ntioiis. tho patient, purifies the blood and eliminates the poison from the svstem Ir. Jlond's Antidote contains neither caustio noroison, and can be applied to the most delicate tissues of the body nifhout injury and therefore is tho only remedy that can bo used in internal t aneer, such as cancer of tho stomach, cancer of the womb, etc. Dr. Rond' remedies, with full directions for successfu treatment will be sent to any part of tlv world. .
