special says it is currently reported in po
liticaf circles here to-night,, that the Presi
dent has Anally resolved to make the But
ler programme on the Alabama claims his
own, and to make a more ia regard to this
question more in accordance with the pop
alar demand. This Involves tho superse
dare of Fish, by Morton, who is booked for
the State Department ; and this is the sole
cause for tho delay of Seheztck's departure.
Saa Domingo will very shortly bo over
shadowed by tho Alabama claims, and a
grand effort will bo made to hare the ques
tion settled for ever upon a basis more hu
miliating to Great Britain than tearing np
the Treaty of 1856 by Russia, and then
asking England's consent if she may do so.
Not only Fish but Boutwell are to leave
the Cubinot,, and an entire reconstruction
of the Cabinet is announced at the opening . '
of the new. Congress. .Several names are
mentioned ia connection with the Treasury,
bat great, railroad men think that Jay :
Cooke is the coming man, and that their :
interest will be well represented near the j
White House. These men think Jay
Cooke's chances are best, as the President
places groat faith In ' McCullough's finan
cial ability, and relies upon having the in
direct advantages of his counsel through
Cooke, who is now MeCollongh's partner.
The new Cabinet will be announced prob
ably ia two weeks hence.

Salem Is oa tbe east tide of Willa
mette river, with a rich country on tbe
east and tbe west. Tbia city il tbe
natural renter of tbia portion of tbe
Willamette Valley, . and some immedt'
rte steps should be taken to remove all
obstructions to oar free and easy Inter-
conn with every part of the valley
that caa be induced to assist our trade
and increase onr importance. The
Willamette river ia the great obitroc
tlon to free intercourse with the lertile
and extensive section lying on the west,
and the most important thing to be
effected for tbe good of Salem ia to
bring that trade here without inconve
nience or great expense to those we
would have for onr customers.
The important thing to be done ia to
build a bridge across the river here
and make communication with Polk
county possible and easy at any hour
of sight or day. Tbia caa be done
the right energy and enterprise ia en

gineer and mechanic has lately said
tbat a good bridge of the Ilowe trait

aiderably leaa than one hundred thou
sand dollars, with a draw attached
Tbe question then to be decided
whether we want tbe bridge, aod if
constructed, bow can it be done, and
shall it be free, or toll bridge 7 To
be a free bridge it must bare great help
from both counties and receive libera)
contributions besides ; ana it is very
doabtful if by any possibility we can
raise means to secure it. bowever de
airablea ,
A toll bridge can be built if those
interested on both sides the river will
seriously undertake it. We bardly
think the whole sum needed can b
raised, bat if one-half can be sub
scribed to tbe stock of a corporation
it can issue ile bonds for the remainder
aod the thing can be done in tbat way
This matter is being talked over on the
Streets and among citizens wbo reeog
nixe the necessity for immtdiate action
ia respect to all that can affect tbe mate
rial prosperity of onr city. This is no
time for alugguhness or idle talk, we
want action, and most decided action
too, aod to secure the greateat proa
perity for Salem, we must work un
ceasingly, for Oregon ia waking np to
r life of energy and action, and we
muat act with the rest.

A Haib's Bbeadth Escape. While a

yesterday morning, nthey met with an un

Mr. Jack McC stood at tbe helm and

All went merry, until the order to " heave

who was acting as first and second mate,

lead, but in doing so lost bis balance and
rolled ororboard as graceful as was consist

lustily for help for some time, the captain
lowered the lifo-boat and rescued his unfor

At tub Wooles Factort. We took a
look at the woolen mills yesterday and found
them running at full capacity during tbe
day. Mr. Hoyt showed us samples of the
new styles of easimerea now being manu
factured, which are as tasteful in pattern as
any goods brought to this market, and very
superior in quality. The mills are now
principally engaged on easimeres and
blankets, and of the letter they have a
quality not surpassed in any country. The
stocking department, under the charge of
Mr. Culver, is assuming increased import
ance, the quality of goods being very su
perior. The latest improvement is to bave
tbe heels and toes knit in by hand of we 1
twisted yarn. Mr. Culver says this wotk
is done by country folks, and the goods are
given out to women who take them home
aod occupy their spare time in that way.
He has on his books the names of about
four hundred persons who do this work.
As tbey get one dollar per dozen, and there
are thousands of dozens to do, it scatters
several thousand dollars through the coun
try. Tbe stockings are manufactured in
long webs, cut off at tbe proper length and
a notch cut in for the heel. The women
who finish, knit in the heel, finish off the
toe and run a thread around the top, after
which they are shaped by being dried on
wood forms of different sizes,, aod tied up
iu dozens for market.
COMPAEATIVX VaLCS OF StBAW.
The Boston Journal of Chemittry says :
Tbe order in which tbe different kinds
of s'raw stand relatively, as regards
nutritive value, may be presented thus :
Oat straw, barley straw, wheat straw,
rye straw. Unquestionably, it will be
for tbe best interests of farmers in most
sections to diminish tbe amount ol
straw uced for litter, aod increase its
use for fodder. In many of the North
ern States ry straw is of equal value
with (be best quality of timothy, aa it
is used largely for bidding borses in
towos and cities. Of course, where
straw command such high prices, aud
is f such ready sale in the market it
would be absurd to freed it it
to animals. We uiust not be un
derstood in these remarks aa holding
to the view tbat any kind of alraw caj
aupereede the nse of good hay aod
grain, bnt rather that it contain a suffi
cient amount of tbe elements of nutri
tion to make it a valuable substitute
for these usually more costly products.

Tbe late report of tbe Secretary of

forty-live millions to abont eigbty-aix
and a half millipna, averaging a lit'le
more tban seventy-three millions. It

fell daring tbe period named, reaching
tbe maximum ($86,427,121) ia '70, acd
touching the minimum $45897,738) in
1812.
Iu 1813 the debt rose to near a hun

question that habitual cheerfulness is
a great blessing. But when cheerful
people are lauded, let it be remembered
as a general thing that tbey are to be
no more commended for it tban

beautiful eyes. Chetrtulness is a mu
ter of health and constitution. An iu
valid or a nervous person a very ken
sitive perron, ratilv efiected by atm s
pberic and otber influences cannot be
uniformly cheerful. He may do much
toward endeavoring to be so, it ia true,
but it must be a thing of effort. Many
People are cheerful because tbey are
apathetic. ' Tbe aorrowa of others, not

Sipped In tbe Bnd.
A few data tin'- we received in the
Eastern diepalcbea an account of the
attempt maSle Iry Crtsll,'lbe Pott
matter General, to'pay a claim ament
'og to eearly half a mfUtosx, dollars
' bat bad been set aside as dithooeat by
every administration for tbe last teo
years. .We do not see bow Mr. Cress
well can easily clear bimself of com
plicity in an a tempt J to swindle .th
Government. Tbe scheme was fortun
ately nipped in the bud, but that was1
merely because bis intention to pay it
became known. A' correspondent of
the N. Y. Herald gives the following
Interesting particulars, which we quote
at follows :
Tbis joint resolution reserved the
tight of appeal from the Postmaster
General to tbe Court of Claims, and
was shrewdly worded to hoodwink
Congressional rpionage. Earl, late
First Assistant Postmaster General,
was the attorney for Chorpeoning, and,
it is said, engineered tbe joint resolu
tion through Congress. Ia pursuance
of the terms of tbe resolution, Earl bad
tbe matter investigated and adjusted
by tbe Poatoffic Department, preas
ing it with tucb pertioacty aa to cause
tbe Poatmatter General to allow tbe
claim to pasa, and be thereupon or
dered tb Sixth Auditor to audit tbe
aecoont for $433,000, and sign bia
warrant on the Treotury therefor. No
appropriation waa ever made for tbii
disbursement by Congress, aod tt is
supposed the money wool! bave been
taken from tbe general post office fund
aud made op ia tbe deficiency bill for
general and incidental expenses. As
a consequence, tbe 8ixth Auditor upon
tbit peremptory demand, was upon tbe
point of issuing a draft npoa tbe Treas
ury when the matter curiously leaked
oi t, nothwithttaadingatreoooua efforts
of ae:r8T . The resolution of Dawes waa
a bombsbell In tbe camp and took tbe
partlea Interested eona'derably by aur-prise.-
Tbe turn of $200 000 waa to
be paid by Cnorpenniog as attorney
fee, and came within an ace of being
pocketed by bia counsel, end divided
up by tbe parties that bad charge of
the achrme. It ia asserted by promi
nent Congressmen, tbat tb claim is
one of the worse kind of Galpbinism
ibat has ever been pressed against tbe
Government; tbat tbe sum of $100,
000 bad previously beea paid upon it
and that Postmaster General Blair
and R niall bad decided adversely
upon tbe claim in the most peremptory
manner. Eighteen thousand dollars
was paid Cborpenniog last spring,
under eome sort of adjustment of tbe
claim, and but for tbe merest accident
tbe Treasury would bave been multcb
ed to the tune of nearly half a million
dollars. It is stated, oo good author
ity, that the Sixth Auditor was not
entirely satisfied with the matter, but
would have obeyed tbe peremptory
order of tbe Postmaster General as a
matter of official duty. Now tbat the
. affair bas been fully broached, it is the
intention of JJuwet and Congress to
give it the severest and most eenrcbiog
scrutiny, and rumors are rife thut a
Cabinet officer may see fit to resign
before ibe matter i disposed of.
, Westward no!
Polx CorMTV, Oregon, Feb. '71.
Ed. Statzskas : Westward bo I Tbe
course of empire takes its way.' Al
ready tbe chariot of progress is being
equipped for its journey, aod tbe people
of tbe old worn out and over-populated
Slates are making preparations
to go westward, as witness tbis wbirh
I quote from a private letter which I
received from a friend who lives " away
down in Maine:" "Never since the
gold fever of 1849 convulsed our coun
try with ita headlong desire to go west,
has there been sncb an overwhelming
desire to emigrate. There ,are hun
dreds making preparations to leave
just as soon as tpring opens. Some
are going to Kansas, others to Texas,
others to California, but I can tell you
that your State (Oregon) will get tbe
ltrgest share of us. Tbe fact is, we
hear such talea about your State. For
instance, I beard oue man say tbat you
could grow fifty bushels ot wheat to
the acre on some of yonr land, and
tbat a man could bay tbat land at from
$:5to$20 per acre. If tbeae thioga
are ao, aa your letter to me seems to
indicate, I can safely aad confidently
guarantee that in three years, at tbe
outside, you will bave ao abundant
population. Tbe fact is, we
of these far Eastern States are just be
ginning to learn tbat there is. uch a
place as " Web-'oot."
The tone of this letter would i -di-cate
tbat we are beginning to ass -z.e
our legitimate position amongst tee
several States of tbe Union. Oregon
bas too long been looked npou abroad
as a province of California, and Cali
furnians with an eye more to tbe accu
mulation of dollars and cents than to
tbe rendering of justice to tbeir neigh
boring State have industriously en
deavored to keep Oregon in the bark
ground, and eay what you may, to tbe
contrary, until we were afflicted witb
Holladay 'a ' grinding monopoly," tbey
to a great extent succeeded, and now
tbat we have passed through tbe ordeal
of one railroad, and have found tbat
instead of it injuring u, it bat ac
tually proved a bent fit. We do not be
lieve, as tome teem to, tbat the future
destioy of Portlaod depends upon tbe
$100 000 subsidy being raised at this
particular time ; neither do we think
that Holladay, as others Sfetn to tbink,
It compelled to make tb terminus of
bi road in Porilaod, whether he get
a tubsidy or not, but there ia one thing
tbat we do believe, and tbat Portland
would be benefitted to at leaat five
timea tbe eraouot. C."
