rcnou Statesman AND UNIONIST SALEM, FRIDAY, i ; : : : OCT. 8 Republican , Tritt&plis, Jnt a drovnins ..urea. 6atch at straws, bo Democracy, wlsb Jmg been condemned j ihe lp;al. reatinient of the civilized 4 world' ami. outvoted by the masses " AciCTicabas been striving for years to And ' tfoma way to sustain life, some catch word hy which it can creep once more to power, ; in many of the older States is out-IIerod , i ing Herod in the pretense of devotion to ' the principles that have overwhelmed it. t In Michigan, for instance, it favors recon struction, rapports the Fifteenth Amend men, glories over the abolition of slavery and the results of the war, and is trying to miwed on the preteuse of being able to administer the Government without taxa tion, and to raise revenue withont asking the people for money. It is on this ground that Ohio It being canvassed, and the very men who declared one year ago that Re pnblican rule will bring on financial chaos, and that an immense deficit would assured ly follow the election of Grant, are shout ing that tbey could administer the Govern ment at less cost than is now the case. A Democratic politician seems to stop at no assertion and to bluBh at no failure, else how can they refuse the highest meed of ' praise to Grant's Administration, which is ODilucted-on the most economical basis ; and which Instead. of being hundreds of millions more in debt, as they prophsied, has reduced the national debt, each month, . accomplishing1 fer grander results than have ever before been realized by any na tion on the eprth tinder similar circum- stances. If we take the actual expenses of adttiiniatcrinc: the Government, not counting the interest on the debts, the "bounties and pensions paid, and tbe extra expenses of gathering the Internal Rev enue, which is another consequence of the , war, the actual expenditures of to-day will favorably compare with the expense under . the last Democratic administration, a lact which Democracy makes every effort to con ceal. The success of our country since the wart under tbe discouragement of -a vast nation al debt, and notwithstanding the life and " property so largely sacrificed, is a true cause of thankfulness. Our nation has at tained its proud position by the aid of new and untried agencies. Republicanism bad no successful record, but we have ., made one. It was not thought that a re public could sustain itself against such odds as were against us in tbe beginning, road, under such trials as we have lately passed, er that it could wield so great a na- " twnal ilebt and commence, as we have done, its speedy reduction. Having tested all these things and lived through them we realize that to-day we are richer and greater than before the war 5 and the world, which holds success as the proof of merit, regards us wiih far more respect and watch es our career with more solicitude than ever before. Our onward career was un checked white we fought the greatest tru2gl known to modern tiroes. All this was not accomplished without serious errors, for wisdom had to be gained f,ly experience. But tie people, with pa- tient trust, have had confidence in them selves, and we triumph as a nation, because "we have, in great part, demonstrated the . ( problem of free government One of the most fortuitous circumstances of our his tory was the election of Grant and the in itiation, under his administration, of eco nomic government conducted by honest . ea. The result predicted by tbe Demo cratic leaders would haw been accomplish ed will the continuance cf such rule as -Johnson had established. There is every cause lor rejoicing at the existing state of things. If we are satisfied, as a people, to live honest lives and pay our just dues, the Government, as conducted by Gen. Grant, must be sustained. If we seek the only speedier method of cancelling the national debt repudiation then Democratic argu ments have power and Democratic politi cians should Lave place. No others could be found to do sacb dirty work. Amenities of the Press. Those San Francisco fellows have rather a striking way of pntting things when they get into a discussion. The other day, the Xeus Letter having re marked that Sir. Barnes, boot-black, was socially the superior of Fennel, (of the Workingman's Journal;) and that F. was himself k gigantic idiot ; Fennel retorted that the Xeuss Letter man was " a liar, a scoundrel, and perhaps a coward." And then to test the truth of this last surmise, the next morning Fennel, with a couple of Iriends. each armed with a bit of a shila lab,'' called on tbe 1 Bending editor, and finding him at leisure administered an un merciful beating. The copy wo lately re ceived of the - The Caucasian or Working man's Journal," bore the earmarks and pen marks of Calvin B. McDonald, which may possibly account for the Oregon style" having made such a furious outbreak in the virtuous region Bouth ot us. ; Suez Canal. ; The next great feat of engineering skill of world-wide notoriety wiU.be the opening of the ship canal across the Isthmus of Suez which will connect the waters ot the Mediterranean and Red seas. As the for mal opening of tbe canal appproaches, pub lic interest in the undertaking is increas ing. Excursion parties from London aud Paris are in process of iormation, and even in New York there is talk of such an expe- uuion. me official regulations for the transit of essels have been promulgated, from which the following items are con densed : During the inauguration ceremonies flir will be no change made ; and these regula tions will not come into force until the 21st 01 iovemuer. snips ot all nations ar per mitted to use the canal, the sole condition being that they do not draw more than 24$ feet, the canal being only 264 feet deep. Steamboats may be propelled in the ordi nary manner, but sailing vessels over fifty tons must be towed by the company's ser vice. The maximum speed of vessels in the canal is fixed provisionally at about six miles an hour. Navigation is allowed during the night on condition of fires being kept up and a strict watch maintained! The commanders of vessels are forbidden 10 ancnor in the canal or to throw earth or rubbish overboard, and if anything should tail overboard which they are anxious to recover they are forbidden to try to recover it themselves, but must give notice at the nearest statio-n. The charge of transit Irom one sea to tbe other is ten francs per ton and ten francs per passenger, and the cost of towage is fixed at two irancs per ton. r GENERAL JfEWS, 1'oi.k Cotxtv.

S25.C78. requiring a levy of 17 J mills 7 i for state tax, 2 for school, and 8 for county purposes. That paper claims that Polk, in proportion to its area, is the richest agricultural county in the Stae. The Times says that many draw backs militate against the development of Polk county, and intimates that its exis tence is attempted to be ignored by its temporarily more fortunate neighbors this side the river. Now, we don't see lhat Polk has so many drawbacks, and we deny that it has any enemies this side the river. These jealous feelings and mean accusa tions are of no use. Tbe Statesman is as much for Polk as for Marion ; has as many subscribers there in proportion, and being friendly to that people, and measurably de pendent on their support, we have no in terest in disparaging them, and we see no one else willing to do so.

The last proposition for an international contest comes from Lord Elcho, a Scotch ' nobleman, who favors an international match between English and American rifle men!" Strange as it sonnds to American ears, doubts are expressed as to tbe results , of such a contest, or rather some think that I the English would carry off the palm. It 1 is admitted by all that the American hunt ers with a small-bored rifle, shooting off- ? .land, are the best shots in the world for distances under two , hundred ; but tbe English claim a superiority.1 shooting ae they1 do, at a long range of 800 or a 1,000 yards with guns of a heavy calibre, at rest J3ut torn tbe American and English cham pions into sme country and the former (would show Jbeir great superiority.

The Illuminating properties of oxygen has long been known, but hitherto the ffiodeof collecting it has been so exDen sive that its general use was preventive. But tbe new process is said to be so economical that the gag can be furnished at a less figure than that extracted from eoal. Tbe new process is a French invention, and gas aireauy supplied to many of the public halls in Paris. Works have, within the past year, been erected in New York, and the Company are now successfully inanufactiu ing the new illuminating agent. Tbe flam r 1 - . "'"g oxygen is much whiter than that of common gas, and it is claimed that tne new light is easier on the eyes, it being nearer the light of the sun. Location of the State Fair. The Willamette Farmer gives the history of ihe location of the State Fair, as follows: The reason why tbe holding of the Fair nas been continued in Marion county is Marion county verv generously gave 'the' grounds and the improvements thereon to the State Agricultural Society, on condi tion that the Fair be held thereon for a cer tain number of years consecutively, and the members of the Society, not one-third of uhoin are citizens of Marion county, have, so far. deemed it for the best interests of the Society to live up to the agreement. When this question was younger, Linn, and all the other comities of the Stale, had n opportunity to get the location. None attempted to secure it except Clackamas. The citizens of that county, by an effort they did not eve to repeat, prepared for and had the first State Fair held there in 1861 ; and those who had labored tbe hardest gave it as their judgment 'that some of the more central counties of tbe Willamette valley were much better situated for holding the annual Fairs.' At that time. Marion county had the oldest agricultural society in the State, but its roembeis. out of deference to the citizens of Yamhill and Linn counties (in both of which there was an effort made to prepare ground for the holding of tbe wcond annual Fair), put off preparing the ground until May. 18(52, and tben. by a great effort, they barely got the grounds prepared for the second annual Fair, which left the Marion county Society, after spend ing $3,000, still in debt to tbe amount of $3,600. At tbe earnest desire of tho Ma rion County Agricultural Society, tbe County Commissioners were induced to take the grounds and improvements off the hands of tbe Society by paying S3.000 of that indebtedness, and, by tbe advice of its friends, gave them to the State Agricul tural Society, on condition that the annual Fair be held thereon for fifteen consecutive years, eight of which have expired. At the time these things were done there was an association similar lo the Linn Coun ty Agricultural Aassociation, that would have purchased tbe grounds from the Mart- on county Society, whichrom the fact of its memDersDeing only forty in number, whose membership lee was but one dollar annually, was plainly unable to hold the grounds lon ger against so much indebtedness but the mends 01 Agriculture reasoned that if they iu nanus oi a private corpora SUPREME COTJET. ! Sausm, Sept, 4. 1869. J . II. Fisk and Clementine V.- Fisk, re spondent, vs. W. J. Bradbury and Joseph Kellogg, appellants. Appeal from Clacka mas county. ; The respondent. Clementine V. Fisk. is the daughter of Lot Whitcomb, deceased, J. II. Fisk is her husband. Lot Whitcomb died seized of the prcperty at Milwankie known as the Standard Mills." He left a will in which be provided that after the payment of his just debts eertain portions of his real and personal estate should go to certain of his heirs, and tben that '-all the balance of bis estate, real and personal, should go equally to his three daughters. Clementine V.. (the respondent) F.lvira and Wilbelmina." 'i bis mill property was not specifically devised, consequently it fell under tbe latter clause. This mill proper ty the appellants claim, and have been in possession of the same since October, IS59. under a sale made by the executori of Lot Whitcoinli, in August. 1859. for the purpose of the payment ot debts of the testator. At the time this sale was made, tbe respond ent, Clementine V., was a minor under 14 years of age, and had no general guar dian ; neither was there any guardian ad litem appointed to protect her interests. At the date of the sale the whole property was worth about $15.000 the Standard Mills being up and improvements mado to extent of $11,000. Since appellants have had possession they have placed therein ad ditional improvements to the value of $20,000. The respondents brought their action of ejectment in Court below lor the undivided one-third of the whole property, claiming that its sale by executors was i:oid, for the reasons that the Probate Court had no jurispiction either of the subject mat tr.( tire petition being wholy unsiifflcient.) or of the person of respondent (no guardi an havinj been appointed). The appellants answered claiming under its sale.

It is quite amusing to observe the spasms into which the Democratic press of Oregon is thrown at the bare mention ofagain electing this gentlemen to the U. !S. Senate. In their ner vous excitement, lest lie should be re elected, some of the papers of this State get into very ludicrous positions. First they attack him as a friend of the 15th amendment amd in favor of Chinese suffrage. Next they de nounce the 15th amendment and prove it confers thq right to naturalization on Chinese ; because Senator "Williams and Corbett used their most strenuous efforts to shape it so that Chinese or any other pagans could not become citizens, and setting the question en tirely at rest. Thuswe prove by the mouths of his enemies that their most serious charges against him are false, and that as far as Chinese suffrage is concerned, he represented his con stituency honestly. It is said that he is a demagogue who has worked en tirely for selfish ends. The acknowl edged author of the most important reconstruction acts, the cheerful ac quisence of the South in their provis ions, and the satisfied tone of the Southern press, prove his wisdom and 1 . 1 1 I. ! . . s-na'oi-ship. ; s:'gaciiy. ana iitartt mm as a statesman, causes great j It is said he has done nothing IbrOre ; gon.

'. is own prominence, such as is rarely reached by a 'demagogue,' has given an impor tance to Oregon perhaps beyond her deserts, and her people will commit an act of egregious folly if they dispense with his services now. The traducers and enemies of this man may hare the satisfaction of seeing his place filled by another ; but they will never put him down from the proud emi nence he has achieved, as the 'states mar who was the first to solve the problems entailed by the rebellion and make anarchy and disorder sub servient to peace and justice.

Did Any of theii Get Away. A good etory ia told of a late well known New York politican and rail road manager ; During I113 abgenee from Lome his wife gave birth to twins, lie was telegraphed of her confinement, no particulars being given, and immedi ately hastened home. Knowing when he might be expec ted, the nurse borrowed a third baby of about the same age, and placed it in the crib with the twins. Immedi ate! v on reaching home our friend it liastened to his wife's chamber, and after his congratulations to her, asked to be Bhown the baby. The nurse, who had frequently served on similar occasions iu his family, raided the cov ering and exhibited the three babies. Opening his eyes with surprise, and thoroughly taken aback by the view, he turned to his wife and exclaimed ! Good Lord, mother ! did any of them get away'! According to Milton, Eve kept si lent in Eden to hear her husband talk, said a gentleman to a lady friend, and then added in a melancholy tone ; 'Alas ! there have been no Eve: pince.' 'Because tlicie have been no husbands worth listening to,' was the retort. quicK How often do we sigh for opportu nities of doing good, while we neglect the openings ot providence in little things, which would frequently lead to the acomplishment ot most impor tant usesulness. The death of the body no more in terrupts the life of the poul than the breaking of crystal glass destroys tho sunbeam that shines so brightly in it.
