Thayer of Portland, id the Democratic candidate for Gov ernor. lie has lived a long white in Oregon, and this is the first tim he has been thought worthy of recogni tion. It is more than likely he would not now have been "dug up" had it not been necessary to run some kind of a -quiet inactive man, since all the ac knowledged leaders (seeing defeat ahead declined to run. ihe nominee for CoDfrress is that perpetual office seeker John Whiteaker of Lane county. Whenever the Democrats have a Gib raltar they want to capture, poor old Whiteaker is trotted out and made to don the war-paint, and no Christian tnartyr was ever tied to the stake with more willingness. One Reames from Jackson county aspires to the office of Secretary of State, but he will find that all hisReainesare "foolscap"and that the -office re-quires more brains than he has rat his command. A. H. Brown, the 'present incumbent, is willing to sacri--iice himself for another term as State 'Treasurer at the paltry remuneration of -3800 per annum. As the Mercury said ;a few weeks ago, tho people want a new deal, and Mr. Brown will be elected to stay at home, while his successor will Hook after the school fund and only draw one salary. A. Noltner, candi- date for State Printer, we have spoken of in a previous issue. He deserves well of Lis party, and will probably make a good run in this county where Jiq has many friends but they will "hardly be enough of them to elect him. 'The Democrats have placed the name of JProf. Jos. Emery, of Corvallis, on their - licket for the office of Superintendent of Public Instruction. He is said to be a cultured man but then he can't '. be the next incumbent, for we need that office in tho Republican party with the rest. Taken altogether it locks consid- -erable of being a strong ticket, and it will be easily beaten if we put a good 'ticket in the field against it. America at Paris. The American exhibit at the Paris Exposition will far exceed anticipations first entertained as to the extent of our show at the great International Ehibi tion. Many feared a fair representa tion of American products and indus tries would not be made and therefore 4he enterprise was not encouraged with as much zeal and spirit as it otherwise would have been. The result however has been very satisfactory, and the American display will be very credita ble. Commissioner McCormick has de voted himself incessantly to the work of preparation, and much has been done in the short time since he assumed Ihe important place. Upwards of 2,000 tons of exhibts have been received, five government vessels have been ap propriated ve Snpply, the Constitu tion, the Wyoming, Portsmouth and Constellation. Independent of these vessels, the Commissioner has fonnd it necessary to contract with the French mail steamers to take the residue of ex hibits not shipped on the above named vessels. ' This vast amount of stuff does not include all of our exhibit, for much will be sent on the French mail steam ers during this month at the expense of the exhibitors themselves, who have alloted space provided for them. Scarcely two-thirds of the persons, who desired to make exhibits, could be ac commodated with space. The Com missioner therefore chose to give space to those who could and would give the ?x?st aud most comprehensive display. A great success is anticipated. The Oregonian has perched itself on the fence waiting for the parties to put their candidates in the field, then the fat incubus " will jump down and let us kdow wnetner the "only paper is aj Republican, Democratic or Greenback organ. Our readers will remember that $3,000 out of Tilden's bar'l bought the f- influence of the concern once, and it need not surprise anyone if it took a queer turn in this campaign. Prof. Emery, of Corvallis, publishes a card in yesterday's Standard declin ing to sacrifice himself as the Demo cratic candidate for State Superinten dent of Public Instruction. What Will the People Do ? Recent dispatches show that at Re publican caucuses in Washington, the feeblo objections to the Administration Offered by Senators Howe and Sarsrent. and Clerk of the Senate, G or ham, have been completely overidden, and Presi dent Hayes almost unanimously en dorsed. This doubtless is a bitter pill for such quasi Republican papers as the Oregoniau, but it is good news to all honest people who have the best inter eats of the country close at heart. President Hayes is trying to adminis ter the Government in precisely the' way that every intelligent citisen has been saying for years that it ought to be administered. The only tenable ground for criticism on his administra tion is that now and then its acts do not agree with its avowed purpose. The ground upon which it is assaulted by machine politicians is that it makes its acts accord too closely with its profes sions. They are angry because the costly methods known as "Grantism" are not employed by the executive branch of the government. The mal contents are to-day contending for that kind of administration which kept the country n a continual broil and in no way improved our standing among the natiotts ot the world. This is a plain and trite statement of the case The actual nature of the dis pute can not be disguised or rationally disputed. The demagogic assaults up on Secretary Schurz for doing his whole duty as an officer of the govern ment illustrates fully and accurately the moral rottenness of the partisan op position to the President. He is op posed by the machine politicians, not because his administration is bad for the conntry, but because upon tha whole, and regarded in its administra tive aspects, it is very good for the country. We are told by one of the mouthpieces of the group of self-seeking politicians that "there is no doubt of the complete annihilation of Mr. Schurz." This remark is, of oourse, the expression of a desire and not the announcement of a fact. The Oregontan never loses an opportunity to run a stilleto into Mr. Hayes, and the St. Louis Globe-Democrat hacks him with broadswords from the beginning of the week to the end. Both sides are virtually appealing to the country, and we feel satisfied we know what the peo ple will do when this question gets out of Congress and comes squarely be fore them. Tbc Assessor. The Yamhill Reporter last week gives us a hint concerning the execrable law regulating assessing property in Ore gon, and we hope our legislators will give the subject their most careful con sideration in the fall. The American assessor is an arbitrary tyrant, if the opinion of the average property holder is to be taken as a standard of judg ment. He is more closely connected with the tax-eating fraternity in the public mind than any other member of that costly and interesting brotherhood. It is he who decides the amount of value on which a man shall be compelled to deliver his dncats for the preservation of good order, the protection of proper ty, and the support of the fortunate in dividuals who are born to earn their bread by the sweat of other fellows' brows. He is the interpreter of the laws enacted for the purpose of raising municipal revenue, and, when left to obey the dictates of his own sweet will, is apt to be as reasonable and just as an ordinary highwayman. We do not mean alone the individual assessor, who roams around at stated intervals, seeking whom lie may devour,' but in clude the whole machinery of assess ment. Ordinarily safeguards are erect ed by legislative bodies to curb and correct the assessor. These laws are often cumbrous and difficult of applica tion, but thoy have a beneficial effect in the main. The assessor is a painfnl ne cessity in a country where property is made to provide the public revenue, and he must remain a part of our gov ernmental machinery. As we predicted some time ago, the Salem Record ostensible greenback organ has " sloped " over into the Democratic ranks, and endorses their State ticket. We cannot help feeling that Hall has been a little premature in this, for had he kept toying with the deluded greenbackers, leading them on by degrees, he might possibly have carried some of them with him into the Bourbon camp on the occasion of his change of party; but as it is, the deser tion of the Record has been followed by no one except poor old Hall as chief mourner.. The Standard, in some badly shatter ed English, wishes its readers to under stand that the hard sense ascribed by the Enterprise to our candidate for legislature, Bradley, is of that very hard kind that will not develop, owing to its being imbedded in a thick skull. Those who know Mr. Bradley will laugh at the sacrifice to truth the Standard has made in an awkward attempt at being funny, and will console themselves with the thought that he has at least an ad vantage over the Standard man in not hav ing his brains incased in a soft covering. .The Beecber-Tilton scandal has re ceived another impetus by the confes sion of Mrs.Tilton. She says the charge brought by her husband of adultery be tween herself and Rev. H. W. Beecher was true. It is said that Tilton and his wife. have become reconciled, and that he ha influenced her to make this con- Washington Letter. Washington. D.C., March 29, 78. The most uncertain portion of mascu line gender in the House is Ben Butler. Senator Davis, who invariably tries to carry water on both shoulders whenever a vote is to be taken on any important measure, istho incarnation of certainty when compared to lien Butler, for none can ever indicate ia advance what line of action he will pursue. We always know that Mr. Davis will try to "split the difference." But Mr. Butler won't do anything he is expected to do. He is worse than Paddy's pig for contrari ness. In the House yesterday the Dem ocrats seated Dean over Field in the contested Massachusetts case by a party vote, with tho aid of Ben Butler, for without his vote Dean would not have succeeded, and yet a doien Democrats would not sanction the outrage with their votes, for Dean had no real claim upon the Boat. He has it, however, thanks to Mr. Butler, and we presume the Sage of Essex feels better at this brick thrown by him at the Republicans. He is a kind of a boomerang in the Re publican party, as he more often returns to strike the thrower than he injures the person aimed at. Polk, the door-keeper of the House, is jubilant because his brethren sat down upon Mr. Harrison's resolution of ex pulsion, and expresses himself as happy as a big sunflower. The Republicans care very little about the matter, and generally feel like letting him alone in this fight with his brethren, for, in all human probability, if Polk be ousted, his successor will be a ten times worse man in all respects. We have heard several of our party say that the Repub licans should have nothing to do with the resolutions, and should therefore abstain from voting, letting the Demo crats prench their own funeral. Polk is a good fellow, and is personally liked by all who have offioial intercourse with bim.excepting those who want his place. Some of our sore heads are exceed ingly inclined to pitch into the admin istration whether or no, and have been trying to make a tempest in a tea-pot through the nomination of Mr.Scofield, of Pa., as register of the treasury by raising a question of veracity between themselves and the President. We are very much inclined to the opinion that in their advances when seeking to secure the nomination of their friend they were met by the usual indefinite evasive response which the dispenser of official patronasre so happily uses to an appli cant. All concerned are old politicians and seem sore because they have just fonnd out for themselves how it is. Diplomacy is an excellent thing, except to those hurt by it, and thousands kuow to their supreme disgust the little weight which should be placed upon the "I'll consider it" of a cabinet officer when applied to for an office. Hence, while Ilarry White, of Pa., is swearing with oaths as big as FalstafTs that he and his friends were promised the suc cessorship of the deceased register, yet we feel assured that they accepted the wise owlish looks aud diplomatic eva sions of the higher powers as unequivo cal pledges of appointment. Mr. Scho field seems the man for the place. He has nothing to do but sign his name to the papers laid on his desk, and unless we aro deceived by appearances, we know he will do his full duty. An automaton could do the same thing, vet we should of course have in preference a man of brains and great ability. The fishing season has opened on the Potomac with rather flattering prosjvecis for the fishermen. Prime shad have been for sale in our markets for several weeks: the past fair weather aud open river having started them toward their spawning beds nearly four weeks earlier this year than last. Our temperance people are hard at work, though Murphy is gone, and are keeping their agitation at a white heat. One of their most efficient speakers is Charley Nye, a son of ex-Senator Jim Nye, and his speeches are marked by the same vein of wit, drollery and oddity which characterized his father while in the Senate. A matter of painful interest recently occurred here. Some forty or fifty per sons were taken violently ill with all the symptoms attending metallic pois oning, but no lives were lost, as the physicians were able to save all attacked The cause of this sickness was traced to the eating of some cream puffs made by a prominent confectioner, but when sub jected to chemical tests by our experts, failed to exhibit 'the slightest trace of any known poison. But the fact remains that none were taken sick who had not eat of these cream puffs, and we are therefore left to conclude that there are poisonous substances capable of injur iously and dangerously affecting the human system which cannot be detected by chemical science. This was the po sition assumed by our old professor of chemistry at college, who, to show the imperfection of chemical analysis.would instance an egg, which, in so far as hu manity could determine, contained no lime, and yet the young chicken natcu ed from it had perfect bones, composed chiefly, as all know, of lime. There are natural transmutations beyond human ken, and this recent wholesale poisoning seems one of them, as no person pre sumes intent in the matter. It is not generally known hat the English walnut tree grows to perfection in this country. There are trees of this variety in this city which bear abund antly every year, one, in particular, in the yard of one of our wealthy citizens, bore last year over 10 bushels of the finest quality walnuts, and yet we are importing these nuts from England and Europe, thousands of dollars worth an nually. It is a wonder, therefore, why we rely upon a foreign country when we possess the means within ourselves of growing them in unlimited quantities. The tree is a vigorous grower, and its beautiful foliage and form render it nearly the equal of our splendid soft maple for ornamental purposes. Real estate begins to look upward here, and there is every reason to be lieve, from present indication, that we are entering upon an era of rapid im provement. Recent sales of lots made in the fashionable quarter near the Brit ish minister's residence were for cash and at rates per foot, nearly equal to the buoyant times preceding the panic; preparations for building new houses are very active, quite as much so as at any time sfnee 1867; hence our conclu sion that the city is rapidly recovering from the panic's depression. Mrs.Van Cott says there will be more women than men in heaven. That's rough on us, considering that Eve is responsible for a good deal of the trouble, Democratic State Platform. The Democracy of Oregon, in Con vention assembled, make the following declaration of principles; Section 1. That a simple government, honestly and economically administered , confined in its operations to the admin istration of justice and. preservation of the public peace, is the only safeguard against the abases of power to which persons in authority are prone, and a corrupt and lavish appropriation of the public funds to corporations which has characterized a national administration for the past seventeen years. Sec. 2. That we heartily approve the action of Congress in remonetizing sil ver. That we believe that all money made or issued by the government should be of equal .value and that we are in favor of paying all the obligations of the government 'in greenbacks so called when the pecuniary interest of the people is promoted thereby, except where otherwise expressly provided. Sec. 3. That we regard, the forced re sumption of specie payments aa greatly aggravating the depression and distress consequent on a long season of inflation and extravagance. We therefore favor the repeal of the act requiring resump tion Jan. 1, 1879. Sec. 4 That the gratuity of iiear twen ty million dollars now paid the national banks by the government is simply levy ing tribute upon the people for the ben efit of the oapitalif 1 We therefore favor the repeal of the lr under which they were established and the direct issue by the government of currency receivable for all publio dues, sufficient to supply the place of the present bank note cir culation. Sec. 5. That we heartily endorse the effort now being made in Congress to reduce our present tariff list to a strictly revenue standard. That the interests of the great mass of the people of the United States lie in the paths of unre stricted commerce. Sec. 6. That W6 favor continued agi tation on the subject of Mongolian im migration to this country till tho feder al government is moved to modify our treaties with the Chinese Empire so as to prohibit it. and thus save those of our fellow citizens who depend upon labor for a support from unjust and de grading competition. Sec 7. That the eighteen years of misrule of the Republican party is in dubitable proof that that party is no longer to be trusted. That much of its legislation in Congress has tended to make the rich richer, and the Doornoor- er, and we arraign that party before the people for its classed legislation, for having fostered and upheld rings, for its repeated efforts to overcome the voice of the people by an unjust and nnconstitntional use of the military arm of the government, and for forgeries perpetrated under its official sanction, whereby R. B. Hayes was placed in the presidential chair contrary to the ex pressed will of an overwhelming major ity of the people cf this government. Sec. 8. Ttat we demand such legisla tion, state and federal, as will prevent the abuses growing out of compensation for extra services, and will limit the pay of officials to a single salary; secure the prohibition of all perquisites, that fruitful source of corruption whereby the compensatiou allowed by Jaw to those in publio employments is fre quently doubled; the elimination from pnblic affairs of that species of dishon esty known as favoritism, whereby per sonal friendships are awarded and per sonal obligations discharged at'the ex pense of the public, without regard to efficiency 1 Sec. 9. That it is the duty of the State government to maintain its supremacy in regard to the authority not delegated in the constitution of the United States aud to vindicate itself against encroach ments from any source whatever. That in the administration of State affairs the preservation of private right and pro motion of justice should be the princi pal aim ; that taxation shonld be equal and uniform, and extravagant expendi tures of the public revenues be avoided. Ecqnomy should be the watchword, and rigorous laws be enacted for the man- ugemeni and preservation of the various funds belonging to the State. Sec. 10. That we are in favor of im provement by the general government of the rivers and harbors of the State; of the opening of the Columbia river to the Cascades and Dalles; of the improve ment of the bnake river, and of a sub sidy ef the Portland, Salt Lake and South Pass Railroad; of an extension of time to complete the North Pacific R.R m a . under sucn reasonaDie conditions as will preserve the rights and interests of the people of the State and the settlers upon the lands donated to it. Also for a subsidy for a speedy completion of a railroad connection between Oregon and California. Sec. 11. That universal education and the general diffusion of learning being the principal bulwark of American lib erty, we are in favor of sustaining and protecting our public school system for T J . J ! t the iaituiui eaucauon or sue rising gen eration. All that is needed to elect our entire ticket in this county is to keep a bold front and march ahead to victory. Nothing can beat the ticket except dis sension in our own ranks, and the Dem ocrats hope to get throe or four men elected by this means, but from present appearances they will be sadly disap pointed. From all parts of the oounty the glorious news is reoeived that our ticket is satisfactory in every respeot, and everything is harmonious. Repub licans must keep their eyes open, how ever, and be vigorous, for the enemy are desperate and will not hesitate at anything to secure the desired end. While victory is within our reach, it can only be secured by earnest work, and it is the duty of every Republican to labor for the entire ticket. The next legislature will elect a U. S. Senator and Clackamas county should send the entire delegation there to vote for a Republican to represent the State at Washington. Personal prejudices and bickerings should be forgotten and only remember the object to be attained. The Democratic platform don't eav anything about the school fund frauds, the attempt to steal one of the electoral votes of Oregon, the lock swindles. Watkinds' charges against Cbadwick, litigant act and police bill, double sal aries, and other outrages perpetrated by the Democracy. The voters of Ore- gon wui ty sometoing arxrax tnem in Jnne.

On the 10th of April, orchard grass in Dr. ftwick's yard was headed out and four and a half feet high. The removal of the county seat from Kerbyville to Wilderville is still being agitated in Josephine connty. A little son of Theodore Mesplie, living on Mill creek, Wasco county ,fell into the creek last week and was drowned. The store of Asher Roseburg. was broken and 3,300 carried off. Marks fc Co., of into last week, No clue to the perpetrators. Gus. Hett, owner of a saw mill on Long Tom, was killed last week by ac cidentally coming in contact with a circular saw. The noted free thinker and liberal lecturer, . Frederic Schneneman Pott, will vitit this and lecture in the Ger man language. Fifteen Chinamen were arrested on a charge of robbing Marks' safe at "Roe burg last Saturday, ard a search of their quarters revealed the stolen money. At Cedar Mill, Washington county, Mrs. Betsy Miller has been elected school director. She is tho first woman ever elected to such position in the county. Among the theological students at Oberlin, Ohio, is a native of Japan Hats-tasa-tamsa. He is a graduate of the Pacific university, at Forest Grove, Oregon. A German named John Douker, watchman on the O. S. N. Co.'s wharf boat at the Dalles, has been missing since March 30th, and is supposed to be drowned. T. M. Jones, 'of Gervais, Marion Co., purchased between five and six hun dred head of unbroken stock horses of Col. Fulton, of the Dalles, recently for 315,000. A. C. Edmunds, of the Labor World, is getting in bad odor with the working men of Portland, and last week he was assaulted twice by men whom he had abused in his sheet. Mr. A. "Bush, banker of Salem, re cently purchased the block on which Oro Fino nail is located, in Portland, for 80,000, upon which he designs building a fine block of stores. Henry Gath, an employe of the saw mill at Collins' Landing, was drowned on the 1st by falling from a saw log in to the river. Gath was about 23 years of age and a native of Germany. The owners of the Emeline quick silver mine in JacksoD county have re ceived a proposition from San Francisco parties to bond their mine for six or eight months for $50,000. The com pany have not yet decided to accept the offer. Information is wanted as to the where abonts of Samuel Shannon, aged 33 years, native of Canada, who left British Columbia in April,1876,for Puget Sonnd or Oregon. Any person giving such information will confer a great favor on Joseph Shannon, New Westminster.B.CX The Dee has it that the German and English bondholders who own the two valley railroads and the steamship line, propose a division of the property By this division the English bondholders get the O. C. railrood and the O. S. S. Co., while the German bondholders get the Oregon x California railroad. From the Portland Commercial Re porter we glean the following statistics for the year 1877: It shows the State debt to be $717,000; the total treasure shipment to San Francisco for the vear. $3,813,000; the total gold product of the mines, Sl.192,000. The value of exports of all kinds, wheat, wool, sal mon, manufactures, lumber, etc., $16, 000,000; the coastwise tonnage entered, 271.G05 tons; cleared, 258,228 tons; r oreign imports less than $500,000. Patrick Maroney of Josephine county, was last week taken to the insane asylum at East Portland, by deputy sheriff Delamater. He was a veteran of the Mexican war.and bis life was once saved on the battle field by Col.E.D.Baker, of whom ne was ever after an almost insane admirer. For several years he has been tunneling in a barren mountain in Jose phine county ,and declaring that he had struck another Consolidated Virginia. He finally became so violent as to re quire confinement. Explanation Wanted. A correspondent of the Salem States- man saysj In view of the demands for retrenchment and reform expressed in the Democratic platform, I would be pleased to have Mr. A. H. Brown, can didate' for State Treasurer, rise and ex plain upon what prinolple of "political economy" he could afford to pay Mr. Shinn, of Union county, four thousand dollars to withdraw from the convention and leave the ooaat dear far his (Brown's) re-nomination. If Mr. Brown did this, and there is good reason to believe that he did, how can he afford to perform the duties of his office on the constitu tional salary of $800 per annum f According the Baltimore papers, the joint efforts of Montgomery Blair and David Dudley Field are direoted to the preparation of a bill for Congressional aotion.whioh provides that all the Unit ed States distriot and oirouit judges shall assemble in Washington, and shall have delivered to them the records of the votes oast in Louisiana and Florida, as returned to the returning boards of those States, and not by the boards. They shall then proceed to count these votes, not throwing any out, and declare accordingly. This scheme, the same authority says, has the - approval of Senator TTbnrman and other Democrats.
