r gALEM. FBID AY, ; ; t : JULY 1 . Portland. '- . If there is svtldo in the affairs of men, tbere it lao 1a the career of cities; fend la th hiitoriet of both there are golden opportunitiea that onlj need to be improved to lead on to fortune. Port- -; land haa grown alowly and aurely rich. Her merchant came there poor, scarce ... on of them baring business capital, and the greatest and proudest of her captal iiti to-dayKwerw blessed with more ener gy than wealth when they tied their for tones to the town, bat planting them selves where tbey could catch the stream of trade, they sat down and le it pour their lape fall of treasure, and the conse quence Is that they lire in complacent - to-day nponthe wealth which has flowd in npon them. Heretofore there has been bat one tide in the affairs of that eity, wich has grown richer than the Sjate, became it has iacceufs.il leTiei i Ui upon both the imports and exports of Oregon and kept the State in vassalage to the town. If wo werw to say Ut her citizens hare displayed . roeaarkablo enterprise, we would level a prodigious sarcasm at her honest burghers, whoso highest aim and most tmecesafal endeavors hare been to restrain the ooesmeroe of onr State with in such boads,thatthe city will remain in - 'fall control. ' Every effort to maintain ,. direct trade with th East, which is pos sible and proper, Portland has thwart ed j any attempt to encourage cheap . fares ad freights the has discouraged j and when railroad eoamtinication -with California was talked of, they denounced it as a ridiclos and suicidal idea. ' It really seemed as if the. men who ranked as prominent and influential cap italists there, were afraid the State would ''develop faster than tbey could control it, and dreaded, above all things, the com mencement of any enterprise which was tjeyond their reach and control. Perhaps tbey were net to blame with being satis fied with a heavy -commission on every thing the country had for sale, or could fford to bey. Tbey had a sure thing, . nd were modest enough not to want more, tot theirs has always been the lion's share. Bat the people naturally long for some haoge er growth that shall faror them, they will : lavor all enterprises which can develop Oregon, and they hail the 'coming of capital in any form, which can wield thousand picks and level our ways for coming railroads.' ..' The- "business managers" of Portland have corraled an enterprise, and have got ' it on their hands. They strangled the ' .JJaat aide road for a while, determined it abould enrich them, or Oregon should " wait for Its accomplishment. They may vow be squeezing the "West Side" enter prise, determined to force out a golden gg or kill it, and if that is their plan they liad better stand wide and let the road pass into other and legitimate hands, that - stand ready to build railroads upon the guaranty that one new can afford. It ia certain that the investment of an amount within the easy reach of Portland capital, ean insure the speedy construction of the West" Side road. Let them furnish the money then, or .give up the project to - those both able and willing.' The tide is f flowing which leads on to fortune, and if Portland will ride npon It, to be greater, && disarm opposition and rivalry, let her rich taen develop the liberal enterprise ' necessary to insure permanent greatness. " It Is not impossible to divert a great nart of the trade of this country to some other channel. Great influences will be brought to hear in favor of Paget Sound am a grand commercial point. A railroad if U he built to Astoria. Portland don't belies it, and considers the project a pretty Joke, which will die out if let alone, hut the road will be built ; the road to -the Sound wilt be built ; tbe roads to the Unrnboldt and to Sacramento- will be biilt? the Northern Pacific road is al ready building, and the question with Portland to-day, if not how ,to speculate j)on great enterprises, and on the State t large, bat to nse her gains, which are enormous, to aid and direct this develop Bent, and make every enterprise redound to htf own future greatness. Else they may, -before long, fee siaging thai not tHircksaic song, ''Boot Bog, or Die." Change of Yenne. The Chinese question hat become a uhject ef discussion eisewhere than on this coast, a act we hall with considera Aa satisfaction, as the matter has a bear ing more extended than oar own shores, and must become a subject ef momentous Interest through the whole nation, as '.'everywhere the question of cheap labor will be agitated od discussed opon the atdvent of the Mongolians. The matter ia being discussed in Con gress, with a view to prevent the coolie -trade, . and any system of immigration fcased on contracts that claim the time of the jmsalgranta for several years as the price of passage, and leaves them liable to to be hired oat tor thai, period to the high est hLUer. fe :w,;W:j ..- If we are to have Chinese labor, !t should be an independent form, the Immi grant! to commacd their own time, tod be isdependeat of ail obligations on their arrival, ty which their time and services can be disposed of without their own consent. " - China resembles a hive ready to swarm, pai tie superabundant population, which crowds its immense territory, and if com pelled to utilise even the mountain aides, to supply the wants of teeming millions, is looklsg abroad for other fields of labor, ready to Improve every possible opportu nity. It seems probable that within the sect quarter of a century, the Chinese avi'J stad their, way into every labor mar ket In the whole civilized world, and be come fcodaeert in fields of agriculture And snanataetnres, to which they have fciiaerta fceea unknown.

If, on the contrary, it shall appear to ,be demoralizing and injurious to the people, their oninion will and mast be respected. i now Strangers view Oregon. "We met yesterday Vttb two intelligent gentlemen from Iowa, who are making a health trip through Oregon and Califor nia, traveling at a leisurely pacerthroogh both State Taking their own convey ance at Los Angeles, several weeks ago, they have journeyed through the length of California and Oregon thns far, enter ing at the south and working their way gradually to the Columbia river, and the rjcher counties of our State, which have facilities for shipment of their products. We were interested to learn what their . opinion was of Oregon, more especially as they were practical Western men, and not mere Eastern tourists. There is no question, of course,. as to the productions of our soil, and tbe salu brity of our climate, and the natural scenery is unsurpassed in the world. Ooe of these strangers had been troubled with bronchial and throat complaints, while the other was subject to neuralgia, ytt neither had felt a symptom of those dis eases since crossing the Sierra Nevada mountains, two months ago, though trav eling through our late rains. We are rather mortified to have to record that these gentlemen have been more impress ed with the idea' that Oregoniana are an indolent race and wanting energy, than with the character of tbe country through which, they were traveling. They re marked that the rich fields were few and far between, that'good farms are scarce, and the greater part of tbe land seems to be entirely uncultivated. It would be folly to deny that Oregon needs labor to develop 'and explain, its re sources, and that we must have a differ ent order or farming, and much greater life and energy should be manifested in every department. There-are good farm ers and energetic men in our State, but they form tbe exception, not the rule. It may be that the lack of facilities for transportation has mueh to do with the inertness that pervades our agricultural districts, while the high price of labor prevents a greater development. We need an efficient emigration to infuse new life. Our lands should be divided into smaller farms, and the introduction of cheap la bor, that farmers could afford to employ, would make every capable white man an employer, and offer him the means to 1 thrive himself, and win for our State a better reputation for vital energy and pro ductive ability. . . ' ' Filibuster Said on Guaymas. Tbe latest filibuster, item concerns a filibuster expedition fitted out two months since from San Francisco, tbe vessel being the steamer Forward, an old British gun-boat, which cleared from San Francisco two months since, under the Salvador flag. One hundred and fifty men nnder command of Col. Viscay no were landed from' her at Guaynias and took the authorities entirely by surprise. , They took the Custom House and several vessels, and commenced loading 5,000 mnikett of the Mexican Government, levied on merchants for supplies and val uable merchandise, and took $100,000 due the Custom House. 0 a the arrival of Government troops from tbe interior tbey decamped,. but towed off two ves sels loaded with stolen goods, and took some prisoners.- They were acting under the orders of riacide Vega, who has bis headquarters between Mazatlan and San .

Col orado, Montana and Wyoming are filling up with a permanent population, which will be greatly increased with the con struction of railroads to assist their de velopment. New Mexico, also. Is acquir ing a large white population, having nearly as many at the present time " Oregon, and many Indians besides. It is thought this Territory will soon be ad mitted as a State', bearing the honored name' of Lincoln a same that should justly be perpetuated and honored every way. Tbe building of the Southern Pa cific railway will add greatly to the pop ulation and importance of New : Mexico, and entitle it to early admission as a State. rl;'-;'''J' Improreinent of tne Willamette. .';" Below will be found a letter on this aubiect from the Hon.

Smith, ' Consolidation. The Central Pacific Railway, which had its western terminus at Sacramento, has consolidated with the Western Pacific, which extends from Sac ramento to Oakland, opposite San Fran-n ciseo, and is to be extended to thai city. This gives the Central Pacific a connec ted lice from Ogden to tbe great western metropolis. The consolidation was a form merely, as the' Western Pacific be longed to the same inviduajs who owned the Central, ba it dispenses with sepai ate accounts and doable organization, as the whole is bow nnder the same and or gsnization of the Central Pacific Railroad Company. , - .

Tbe Sao Francisco Subsidy Refused. San Francisco was lately greatly ex ercised over the proposition to vote a subsidy of one million dollars "to the Southern" Pacific Railroad Company, and the question was submitted to a popular , voto a short While since, the first an nouncement being that the proposition was defeated by a few voles. A recount was demanded and on the scond connt a mjority of 64 was found," by some menus, tor the subsidy, with many charges of frauds on both sides. .j The vote was very light, scarcely reaching half the usual number, and considerable excitement existed over the complicated question. It would undoubtedly have found its way into the Courts and so have been a source of interminiable trouble; but the Railroad Company very sensibly declines to . touch the subsidy under such dubious ' circumstances, which leaves tbe matter entirely unde- cided. , : , ' - ' - -r --. - 1 . letter from Polk County, y - Rickbiil, Oregon, June 28, 1870. Esrroa Statesman : - - ' , Now that' the election is over, we feel greatly . rejoiced not over, our defeat, but that we have the oft reiterated prom ise of the Democracy, to console us, that the fees of all the county officials shall be immediately reduced, and. that taxes will be cut down at least one half. . We confidently expect that the national debt wil be ''equitably adjusted'' by the next Legislature. If such should not prove to be the case, a great many of the "chivs" will hardly march to tbe polls at the rate of $T50 per head, and cast their ballot for me'country and me God" in 1872.-1 One thing is 'clear to every individual who reads the papers, that is, that Dem ocracy is now ori its last legs in this State, and that in 1872 we will roll up at least 1000 majority. It was only by dint of un parallelled bribery and corruption that the faithful were made to maintain a steady front in this campaign, and unless the Democracy introduce resolutions in their platforms in 1872, in favor of seces sion, slavery and repudiation, the faithful will not support them, as a great many were highly disgus'.ed with tbe milk-and-water style of the late platform. ' - The annual meeting of the Christian Brotherhood has just closed, and it re sulted in a vast amount of good.

The pangs -of hunger seem to have been gnawing at his vitals just as he espied a splendid cherry orchard, said orchard was enclosed by an Osage orange fence, there being only ene place through which a mau could enter, and in the gap tbe proprietor of the orchard1 had placed a wire', attached to the trigger of a blun derbuss, said blunderbuss; being loaded with about one-half pound of powder and eight or ten news papers. The young man rushed boldly against the wire when bis sense of bearing was greeted with a report, which some took for cannon firing in Salem. His horse was frightened and ran off, and his master, at last accounts, was talcing leg bail after him. . Dixit. Daiiy Mau on thb Wbst Side.

A Tribune's Washington special states that the recall of Mr. Motley was finally decided upon, and added that Mr. Fish would remain in the Cabinet;, but he was aware that tbe Secretary retained his place against bis own inclinations and because the President strongly desired him to remain.

A box of rfiammoth cherries, grown at Fruitvale, of the "Royal Ann'.' variety, was sent East to-day, many of them three and a half inches in circumference, and none less than three inches. Wheat Receipts of new, thus far, have been insignificant, and but little expected until after the 4th of July. Five vessels have been secured to load for England, all of which we believe will take their cargoes at Vallfjo.

Intelligence ironi tbe Uepublic ot Colombia is im portant. A resolution was introduced in the Colombian Senate' instructing tbe Government to propose an alliance with Republics of Spanish America, the ob ject being to effect tbe liberation of Cuba and Porto Rico. Should Spain refuse to withdraw ber troops from those islands the fellies will declare war against ber, and aid Cuba. -The resolution passed enthusiastically by a, large majority. ; - Domestic Li&b In.Japan. M.Humbert, the Swiss Minister at Yeddo, has just published some amusing: details of tbe domestic life of the Japanese. : In Japan marriage is the universal habit. . Almost the only exceptions are to be found in the case of certain monastic orders, and among the ladies iu attendance upon the Empress. Men marry at about twenty and women at about fifteen years of age, but, except in the Budhist sects, the act is marked by no religious ceremony. Among the presents displayed is always to be seen a double lipped vase. At a (riven momcint one of the bridesmaids ad vances, fills it with 'Baki," and presents it alternately to the bridegroom aud bride until tbe goblet is emptied. Under this symbol the idea is conveyed that together tbe husband and wife must drink the cup of coBjugal life to the dregs whether filled with embrosea or gall. Ihe moth ers have greater authority over their children than their fathers, and tbe rights of women are so far recognised in the country that a woman has wielded tbe scepter of the Mikados. But to return to tbe home life. The law of the coun try insists that each shall be exposed to the air without clothes and with its head shaved, and in spite of both rain and sun. During infancy the child's ordinary playmates are a fat, short legged dog and a falter tailless cat. Instruction is never forced upon either parents or children.; it is supposed to recommend itself natur ally by its own intrinsic merits, aad every man and woman throughout the Empire is able to read, write and cipher. Tbe thirteenth day after birth every citizen received bis name ; on attaining his ma jority he takes bis second, a third at mar riage, a fourth on being' invested with a public function, which be changes on at taining each higher gride, and to on to the name given him after death. The last is engraved on bis tomb and be is known by it by all succeeding genera tions. . 1 , Bbbcbeb and Taylor. In a late num ber of the Chrittian Union Henry Ward Beecher gives a delightful picture of the friendship between his father and-Nathan Taylor : - : : The globe and tbe universe, 1 to their thinking, bung upon distinctions Goer than the spider's finest film. ' We see them now, in the old Litchfield sitting room, come home from some meeting, sit ting down around tbe fire, and, after a little family, chat, begin to edge toward the discussion that had broken' off at their last meeting. "They lay down their positions cautiously,' like two knights riding around each other, In survey, be fore the real struggle begun. Soon they went at it. They grew earnest. They stopped each other. ' Now one seems pushing the other with an irresistible an alogy ; but in a little time 'some lucky turn gave back tbe advantage, and all tbe lost ground was regained ajfain and some steps beside. Some explosion of wit would set them both into a roar of laughter, and refresh them for the next wrestle. Tbe hours flew on. It ws eleven o'clock, in a town where folks went to bed at bine ; it was midnight ; it was one o'clock ; and back and fourth the argaments flew, sometimes while tbey walked up and down with their arms over each others' shoulders,' sometimes Beecher sitting on Taylor's knee, some times Bitting face to face, arma going in gestures, the forefinger pointing out the line of the argumelt. At length ' a tall and pale form at tbe head of the stairs calls out, 'Father ! father ! Do you know what time It is V 'Well, Taylor, atfck a pia there," and well go on to-morrow." A traveler who had' "crossed the At lantic tells a story of a storm, when the rain ponred down ia such torrents the ocean rose ten inches. "There's no mis take,,', said he j "besides . the captain kept mark oa the aide of the vessel." ' ' John Bigelow excuses himself for go ing to Europe by saying that in the North River village, where he Iked the people had no amusements save going to church on Sundays and an occasional funeral a week days.

The Ohio Democracy have had state convention, and passed a series of reso lutions in which they eet forth all the evil things that tbe party in power have been guilty of since Abraham Lincoln was elected President ' If it is consider ab'y mixed as to what they do believe in, it is quite clear from . their platform tbey are opposed to pretty much everything that has been going on in the country for the last ten years. They denounce tbe tariff, tbe internal reveuue system, tbe income tax, the act passed to enforce tbe Fifteenth Amendment, the national banking system, and all tbe acts of the present administration, generally and singly. Like the fellow who was "in favor of tbe Maine law but opposed to its execution," tbe OhioJDemocrats believe in the principles of the Declaration of Ic- depedence, though they have never taken any measure to carry them out, as any body is aware of, but bave opposed every measure of progress which tbe Re publicans bave inaugurated. They at tested their love of liberty by opposing emancipation ; they favored universal suffrage by attempting to withdraw tbe consent of their State to tbe Fifteenth Amendment ; they would pay the nation al debt without a tariff and without tax ation ; they would have plenty of money but no banks, iu short, tbey are ready to do any and all impossible things, if tbe people will only take their Unsupport ed word for it. Janetville (Wit.) Ga zette. , Brooms. If a broom is occasionaly dipp ed into boiling sods, the straws will in a measure lose thir brittleuess and become tough, and do less injury to a carpet. It will also last much longer. Brooms wear out carpets full as fast as the usual tramping over tnein. before commenc ing to sweep a carpet, dip the broom into a pail ot water and strike it against some object to shake off the drops. Repeat this frequently while sweeping, and you will raise little dust, and be surprised at tbe quantity of dirt which will settle in the bottom of tbe pail. It is well to strew moistened sawdust, Indian meal, or tea leaves on a ' carpet before sweeping. Fine, moist salt is equally as good or better, and gives the carpet a nice clean look. The work on the Lincoln monument at Springfield, 111., is proKreesinz with extreme rapidity, end will be completed, so tar as tbe funds now in tbe Treasury riJl pay for, before winter. This will cover the expense of tbe monument, the Lincoln statue and tbe United States coat of arms. About $55,000 more will be necesary for th group of war statuary designed to be placed on tbe corners.

A Democratic organization iu the Four teenth Ward of New York, styling itself the "Brick Pomeroy Association," has recommended him as John Morrissey's successor. Clear the way for "Brick."

It is slowly improving now under summer skies, but it requires more care than heretofore." A French gardener finding a piece of woejen cloth, which bad lodged in a tree, covered with caterpillars, acted npon the idea suggested, and placed woolen rags in several trees.
