Ellihsdurb, Jane 10, 1871.
Ed! Statbsmab : The great elecl
davor, who began an ' expedition" of
our county affaire to enspielontly io
the Mertmry, onr the momde plum of
49er", hu changed hie locality and
bit name,' and to paradea fcltelf be
fore ibe public la the columns of tbe
Herald, over the signature of " Carry1'
sad " Toure Truly." I would invite
candid perusal of bit tlimty fabrica
tion, wbicb,like tbe legs of a drunken
maa, get tangled .among themselves
end expose their untUbiltty. - Were it
not for the vindictive falsehoods,
charged to indiscriminately against ail
oar Republican oflciatet, there it noth
ing in any f bit articles tbat merits a
reply, or tbat woald commend itself to
the perusal of any one, familiar with
. grAmmer or composition. Sat) wben a
t snarl who holds a position so fraught
wish the tatereatt or tbe people
" Oer" descends from discussion of
principle to low "personalities and i
Hcwns falsehoods, au sensible men
know tbat it ie the retort of todruet,
and the last weapon lied by one who
fears a fair encounter, and who bat
sot escaped unscathed. Her assumes
tbat there ha been a land swindle at
, oar County Seat, and taya that " tbe
Sheriff arranged matters therefor with
tbe School Superintendent, the Judge,
tbe Commissioners and tbe Clerk.
Now, the facta arts that our eiti tens
never heard of such a thing outside
of tbe columns of tbe oreswM. The on
ly land swindle here beard of, it one
which the Herald correspondent tried
to perpetrate apon eitisent of oar lit
tle town : but in this he was thwarted
by two honest Commisiooers. who net
ther admire him as a man, nor ark bis
" advice in law." The HeraH corres
pondent may know his price as a coun
ty official, but we know of no rale
that warrants bis filing tbe price of
others at the same. He says : " this
county was Democratic, and because
Republicans, at tbe beginning of our
rebellion, through tbe cry of Union,
and by tbe effect of a few impassioned
speeches, made by Judge Stratton and
others-" We will admit all ibis. Bis
were .among those speeches, aad be
was the speaker be describes as one
" who could talk the most and eay the
least," aad, unlike bis hearers, fee -believed
that, tbnnder weuM km and
lightning only make you wink." Since
those memorable days, however, be
has experienced tae1s changes, and
as we hear no mom wf bis speeches,
we presume that he has at last learned
that there is neither thunder oor light
ning in bis composition. Yet we are
all disposed to feel charitable toward
him ; for, bad we belonged to every
political organiiation of tbe age, bad
we been a Democrat and been nniver
ally distrusted, or had we been a Re
publican aad they bad caused at te
look through tbe iron (rates of Aloa
trax (just becaase we chose to defy
the authority of the United States),
abort, bad we preached yesterday, and
become the " wickedest man in Oregon"
to-day, we should expect the commis
eration of oar citiient, becaase we
should doabt tbe existence of any
moral principle witain ourself. His
charges against our Sheriff (Mr. Riley),
about " chalking ont poll taxes," etc ,
are willful falsehoods, calculated only
to mislead the ignorant and unthink
ing. Aside from the otter impractica
bility of tuch a maneuver, there baa
never been a deficit of one dollar in
the finances of oor county. Tbit it
only a specimen of the trash with
which he. is gorging bis readers.
Such groundless accusations are
only made by one who is both morally
and financially bankrupt, and, there
fore, morally and financially irrespon
sible. His charges against Hon. 8. W.
Crook, Inspector at Port Orford, of
' keeping a gambling bonse and enticing
boys to drink, are so utteriy false and
contemptible tbat they could net bave
originated in any other spirit than that
of tbe most unprincipled kind, aod in
one over whose genius presides noth
ing but a demon ot corruption.
Our Circuit Court wu in session
here last week, and, with all his brag
gadocios, ont one bill was found by
tbe Grand Jury against any citizen of
this county, altbongb tbe Herald cor
respondent wat here, and was flying
about in all the dark corners, snap
ping at this one and tbat one, present
ing a faitbtul. exhibition of bis canine
Qualities.
I bare never before read--tttr)"tolrg-4
quite to cool at this, from the Herald
correspondent : " I will say to all tbe
reliable, good tax-payeri of both par
ties, feel grateful to His Excellency,
L. F. Grover, for the judicious ap
pointraent of oar County Judge."
Bah ! This would be very nice if
written by tbe proper person, for it
both kisses the Governor's foot and
holdt oor County Judge op before tbe
people in a conspicuous attitude at tbe
same breath. Be it known to all tbat
tbe Herald correspondent, who wrote
the above about " Hit Excellencies ju
dicious appointment," is our County
Judge kinuelf ; and be it further known
that wben any human being descends
so far beneath tbe dignity of true man
hood aa to praue htmtelf, tbat be is
coveting what will never be bestowed
upon him by others. Folly three
fourths of the Democrats of this coun
ty join tbe Republicans in denouncing
his conduct, and, instead of calling it
a "judicious appointment," call it
judgment npon their party from which
they will not soon recover.

premises aad shall bave to ask the
kind forbearance of the public for a
short time only, we trust. : Tbe best
we can do at present it to fire an occa

Thi Democratic Schism. We have
said tbat the Democracy is divided in
to two wingt. One consists of those
who oppose the Republican party on
principle, and bave faith in the final
triumph of the cause which now seems
lost. Tbe other it composed of tbe
hangers-on, who went with tbe rebel!
because they thought the Confederacy
wonld be an accomplished faet. They
were actuated by motives of policy.
Vallandlgham it a representative ot
tbit type. He wat a load mouthed
rebel sympathizer to long at be thought
the canst la a fair way to triumph.
Since then be bat been trying to edge
off and bring bis party with him. It
it a notable fact tbat tbe two represen
tative men of the Democracy ta day
are Jeff. Davis and Vallandigbam.
His recent speech- made the ex-President
tbe virtual leader of tbe incorrigi
bles. He it dogged in bit clinging to
secession, and believes it will yet be
accomplished. Ha wants to fight on
the same line In polities at in war

divlded against Itself than the Dem
ocracy of to-day. What is claimed a
a "new departure" it really a net'
schism, more distinct and ominou ,
than tbe one which culminated in tb f
Donglass-Breckinridge duel for ti
Presidency. Chicago Ectning Journi
Oregon Democracy.
Missouri Democracy might be tup
posed to eontain elements of the most
irreconcilable nature, for Missouri
Democrats, as a class, furnished all
the active spirit of the rebellion in tbat
existed tbat Bute. 8tHI, It seem?
tbat there it a difference between the
Democracy of Missouri and tbat of Or
gon, and tbe latter State it tbe least
progressive of the two. -
A great deal it said about tbe new
features presented in tbe Ohio platform
lately adopted, called the " New De
partnre" of tbat party, in which onr
opponents attempt to steal enough
Republican principle to base bopet of
success npon. ' It is somewhat remark
able tbat the Democracy of Missouri
claim that the ' New Departure" com
menced with tbe last general election,
in Missouri, wben tbey adopted many
Conservative views and succeeded in
electing B. Grata Brown, a Republican,
as Governor of tbat State. We are
compelled to recognise that the Dem
ocratic party of tbat State have learned
something, and are endeavoring to. act
on tbe lessons of adversity, and also ;
have felt the wecessity of accepting the
issues tbat have been decided at fact,
and do so accept them. In all this tbe
Democracy of Oregon and Missouri
differ. ' It it true tbat the Uwld ac
ce'pAs the " New Departure," and
shouts for joy at tbe prospect of in
corporating enongb Republican vim
into stale Democracy to make success
possible, but so far as we can under
stand them tbe remaining Democratic
journal! of onr State do not go with
the Herald, and cling to the old slavery
traditions, and hang tbeir hopes on
the old slogan that thla is " a white
man's country." We do not doubt io
tbe least tbat whatever platform tbe
National Convention may adopt, the
Democrat! of Oregon will cheerfully
fight, bleed and die npon it, but tbey
are not yet progressive enough to see
that a " New Departure" is necessary.
We hear of a Missouri Democrat who
it at the present time visiting Oregon,
and banting np Pike County friends,
to enjoy reminiscenses of tbe past. He
bat visited tbe classic precincts of tbe
Long Tom witb this end in view, and
no doubt found bis old nesjsroors hap
py and contented there. No, not en
tirely bappy, they still grieve over tbe
" lost canse ;" still denounce recon
struction ; still disclaim against tbe
illegality of tbe constitutional amend
ments. He teems to be astonished,
is tbis Missouri Democrat, to find
that Oregon Democrats are atill ram
pant rebels, who bave learned nothing
and accept nothing from recent events.
It may be barely possible that he is
also astonished to God that tbe Ku
Klux boldly attack life here in Salem,
but we cannot say.
Politics is becoming a dull game,
wben Democracy strives brazenly to
float upon Republican planks, and it
ill be necessary for tbe party drill
masters to commence soon to teach tbe
new manual, if tbey expect tbe rank
and file to become proficient therein
before the next election.

From the Herald: About two o'clock
yesterday morning officer Shaenan fuun i
the remains of a man floating among the
piles at the foot of F street. Tbe body was
beyond identification, as tbe left foot, the
bands, the hair and flesh of the face had
been eaten off a proof tbat it must bave
lain in the water a lung time. A part of a
black pair of pantaloons, fastened by a
leather belt, was the s ole covering of the
body. It was taken to Welcker's place, on
Second street, where it was covered, and
buried from there in the afternoon.

WA0HIKGT05 TEBRITORV
From tbe Walla Walla Statetman of June
17th we glean as follows :
On Wednesday last Sheriff McAuIhT, in
the course of examining tbe prisoners in
the County Jail, discovered Louis A. Mul
lan in possession of a large knife, witb
which it was undoubtedly his intention to
cnt his way out. The knife was taken
awayrom him and he was at once removed
to a stronger and more secure cell. Since
Mullen's imprisonment parties have been
permitted to visit him freely, and some of
these, without doubt, furnished him the
means to cut his way out. He will now be
closely confined and no one permitted to
see him except in the presence of the Sher
iff or his Deputy. We learn, since Mul
lan's committal to tbe Connty Jail, a num
ber of additional eases of embezzlement
have eome to light. ' It seems that he was
acting as attorney for a San Francisco Com
mercial Agency, and in this capacity re
ceived a large number of accounts, all of
which he collected but never paid over.
Should he be tried and convicted on all
these charges it will send him to the Peni
tentiary for tbe balance of his natural life.
Messrs. Jones A Brooks are arranging to
ship 7,000 bushels of wheat to Portland.
From the Walla Walla Union of June
17th we eall this t
Daring the past week tbe most shaded

to tbe Walla Walla and Columbia River
Railroad Company. Tbe propositijn, as
SALEM, OREGON,
presented, met so decided an opposition
from the people that it was evident that it
would be defeated at the polls. So the.
Commissioners resolved to save the expense
of holding aa election. .
City ant! Connty items-
Snooviso Avvrat. A gentleman of '
this o'ty received the following telegram
from Portland last evening, and which he
has kindly laid upon our table s A col
ored man named Thos. Ward was arrested
last Saturday for attempting to take the life
of another colored man named Graham.
During the preliminary trial this morning
Ward shot and killed Graham in the Court
m." This looks as though shooting is
becominig amania among tbe black as well
as the red race.
Insane. A man who called himself
John Taylor was arrested yesterday as be
ing insane ; be was examined by Drs. Car
penter and Payton, and was pronounced by
them to be insane. He was noticed yester
day on the Plasa watching the growth of a
young maple; he spent several hours in tbii
rather monotinous pastime, and when
questioned as to his business, became shy
and flighty, ne was eared for by Police

tween Dan. Wagner and a drunk man by

the arrival of the "Stars," but was given
chase by tbe fleetest, who soon returned
with him, they were both lodged in jail,
but Wagner procured bail and was let off
until to-day, when the Recorder will in
quire into the affair.
S a i.em Water Works. This interesting
improvement is progressing finely and is .
being rushed to an early completion. The
huge timbers one by one swing into their
ploecs to assist in bearing the large tank
which is to supply ns with fresh, clear and
sparkling water. This is ono of the great
est wants of our eity, and when it is finished
Salem will be the model eity of the New
Northwest.
New CntmcH. The new Presbyterian
Church on Church street, is assuming a
very beautiful appearance, as the workmen
proceed toward the finishing strokes. It
prooiises to be one of the handsomest struct
ures in our city, the spire, which is tipped
with a vane, is almost ready for the paint
ers brnsh, which will add much to one of
tbe most conspicuous of our oity spires.
AxrsEMERTS. We cannot complain that
there are no places of amusement in our
city jast at present, as will be seen by the
various advertisements and notices that
has appeared in our columns. Last even-
ng a person of the most exacting order
could bave been suited. If he did not wish
to attend the installation at the University
Chapel, be eould attend the apron sociable,
if not suitable let bim step into tho Opera
House, and we are sure he would not ask
for more.
M.tsoxic. This Ancient Order turned
out in full force last evening to witness the
installation of officers at tho University
Chapel. The procession formed at their
Hall, and headod by the brass band march

the exercises tbat will take place on our
National Anniversary. The Committees
appointed are busily engaged in preparing

the arrangements are made for a lively time.
fix table. The sociable given by the
laoivs of the Congregational Church last
evening was a grand success, and had a
large attendance, considering tbe other
amusements in the city. Ice cream and
strawberries were the chief viands.
Stebrett'r. Tho performance at the
Opera House was well attended last even
ing, and everyone seemed to enjoy them
selves hugely, if one could judge by the
amount of laughter indulged in.
Halo Water. Mr. Adolph has a man
at work for him tbat is six foot and seven
inches tall. He has not drank a drop of
water for nearly three months. When ha
is dry he drinks beer.
Lost. On Thursday last, a canary bird,
all yellow except a black spot on. tbe neck,

rewarded by returning it to David Cole.
The ceremonies attending the institntion
of the Lodge of Perfection, on Tuesday
night at tho Opera House, was grand and
imposing.
Camp Mebtiso. 0r latest advices from
the Christian camp meeting tells ns that
many new eonverts are being made, and
that tbe exercises are very interesting.
Pe.vitejttiart. The convicts during
this weather are busy' in the brick yard.
They ro making, with the new brick ma

they woro the finest looking stock we bave
seen for some time.
The friends of Mr. Paschsl came from
Eugene yesterday and took his body to that
eity for interment.
Our hotel registers show upwards of six
hundred arrivals since last Wednesday.
Sche!ck Elected After All. The
Third Congressional District in Ohio has
been the scene of a discovery of political
fraud, which was perpetrated but Fall. It
will be recollected tbat Lewis D. Compbell,
Democrat, was elected over General Schenck
by a small majority, as reported at tbe time,
and tbat General Schenck at first an
nounced his intention to contest the seat
on account of alleged improper ruling by
tho election judges, but eventually .gave up
the matter and allowed Campbelr to hold
his seat unquestioned. It baa now trans
pired that he failed to secure his election by
actual fraud, and the development it made
by Campbell's friends, who have get to
quarreling among themselves, and they are
likely to break ap the election. It is now
openly charged and was proved that one
Peter Schwab, a Democratic officer of elec
tion, stuffed the ballot-box last Fall with
Campbell tickets. He was found guilty, on
examination, of having placed in the bal
lot box more than fifty tickets, which were
enough to change tbe election. The dis
covery of this fraud created quite a sensa
tion in the district, and tbe position of
Congressmen Campbell is looked npon as
by no means an agreeable one.

Tbe Willamette Talley.
The Willamette Valley is one of tbe
most favored spots npon the earth ;
blessed in tbe possession of an equible
and delightful climate, with soil of the
most reliable fertility, and in its loca
tion and surrounding possessing every
variety of scenery to charm the eye.
On the whole Pacific coast there Is not
to be found another spot of equal ex
tent with such great natural advantag
es, for it possesses in its entire length,
and breadth and tbe actual area of
of the valley proper exceeds tbe size of
some of the older States soil of
abundant richness, watered by many
monotain streams ; varied by alternate
hills and prairies, with belts of excel
lent timber to satisfy all tbe practical
uses of the settler.
Of course., soil, climate and natural
resources are alone insufficient to make
any' spot like tbis eagerly sought for
and to insure that it will in time be
come tbe scene of productive industry,
but the fortunate and convenient loca
tion of this beautiful valley, with nav
igable rivers, waiting to bear its pro
ducts to the not distant seaport, guar
antee that in every respect tbe Willam
ette valley is destined to immediately
take rank as a region of unsurpassed
importance upon the Pacific coast
Nrom tbe Columbia River to tbe
Calipooia Mountains, which divide
tbe waters of the Willamette and
the Umpqua rivers,. the distance is
about one hundred and fifty miles.'
Tbe parallel ranges of tbe Cascades
and tbe Coast Mountains are distant
from each other about fifty miles, and
tbe intervale cradled between these ti
tanic ranges, possessing every variety
of landscape, watered by a thousand
mountain streams, and looking up for
ever at tbe majesty of snowy peeks
tbat rise to Heaven, it tbe vallry of
tbe Willamette. It it safe to lay tbat
it contains over fonr million acres of
the choicest arable land, and it will be
eventually found tbat much laad fit
for cultivation lies among tbe lower
mountain range.
At the present time tbe population
of tbit valley exceedt aixty thousand,
about one-tbird of wbich number arc
living in the towns. Its most veins
ble lands are of coarse claimed, but
they hare never been cultivated to any
great extent, and what it produces to
day, or what has been produced here
in tbe patt, it no criterion of what
can be, or will be, produced in the fn
ture. It is capable of maintaining
more than half a million of people
and within two generations tbat num
ber may be expected to reside here
Already the magic touch of capital is
transforming tbis hitherto secluded
spot, which seemed so remote to be
brought into intimate relations with
tbe outside world, and imparting to it
the greatest in-portanca. Tbe Oregoo
k California Railroad hat patted up
the valley and it pushing towardt its
npper limits, and other railroad enter
prises are devised for the purpose of
laying the iron track to connect onr
valley witb tbe central route and di
rectly witb California. These things
speak ef immediate development, and
say tbat far reaching mindt tbat bave
already built up immense capital, by
judieiout enterprise, teleot this at a
field whose ' development promises
magnificent reward for inveetment.
The mlda't touch of capital to be ex
ponded to development of onr resources
will remit in making onr acres tenfold
productive ; will cause manufactories
to spring op on all sides, where abund
ant water powers exist ; it will pene
trate the hidden : resources consisting
of ieexhaustablebeds of iroa and coal,
quarries of atone and marble, and
veins of precious ores that abound In
the mountain! around us, wbiob con
stitute unlimited wealth that it to be
brought to light and build op a mighty
State in tbe not distant future.
Tbe sketch we btTe before briefly
given of Oregon history, shows that
the missionaries and early settlers were
a superior class of people. Tbat fact
it proven br tbe generally excellent
state of society that hat existed here
from aa early day. Those who come
here expecting to fad a wilderness,
are always disappointed to find oar
cities beautiful and thriving marts of
trade, and onr country hornet compar
ing favorably witb those of any other
states, while the average condition of
society it really superior to tbat to
be found la some of the older States.
A maa with ordinary means can come
to Oregon, pnrchaee a ready made
farm, with comfortable honw prepared,
for a reasonable price, aad find him
self wilbio reach of every social at.
joyment, with sseelleat schools at hand
ia most neighborhoods, and postal ac
commodations to bring to him the met-'
sages of friends and newt of tbe outer
world. Perhaps, ia a social joint of
view, tbe Willawjette valley has made
greater progress than in any other.

and interesting as all tbe workings of tbis

few days and adjourned yesterday morning.
We must say their appearance as a body
surpasses the representative to our State

To SE Pardo.ied. Tbe oldest convict in
the State Prison is a man named Collins,
sent from Southern Oregon for life on con
viction of having committed a murder. He
has now been eonfined for eight years and
at the present time seems to be sinking
gradually from consumption. ' A belief ex
ists in Southern Oregon that he is innocent
and several petitions have been sent signed
by Judge Primm and ail tbe influential eiti
sens for tbis pardon. Tbis we understand
ay be granted to-day and it is to be hoped
so, as the case seems to be of the greatest
possible hardship, as poor Collins bas been
for eight long years leading a blameless
and patient life in prison, and the Judge
who sentenced him endorses the belief in
bis innocence. He has constantly declared it
himself.
Precaitio. Walking down the street
yesterday we observed, upon the sidewalk
in front of a building, the burning " stump"
of a eigar, which had made its mark, so far,
by searing tbe board upon which it was
lying. Now, we bave confidence that no
gentleman in Salem woald think of de
stroying, by fire, any property of our beau
tiful eity, yet, very likely, a great deal of
the destruction by this element originates
by some little carelessness of tbis kind,
and in these days of continual sun and dry
weathei, it would not be wonderful if surh
an accident at the instanco of such ex
posures should be brought upon ns, thus
bringing out tbe inquiry, " who eould the
incendiary have been?". A word to the
wise is sufficient.

A Company, of San Francisco, send us the

called " Around tbe Bay," showing the
Geysers and all the places within easv
reach of San Francisco Bay. Tbe last
book is of peculiar value, as affording a
glimpse of actual life in the Golden State.
The Congregational Apron Sociab'e on
Wednesday evening was by far the hap
piest affair that bas been produced in our
usnally quiet town for some time, bat by
what power it was accomplished we cannot
say, but ws will guess that it was tbe amia
bility of the ladies wbo presided over the
various tables, which caused the visitors to
feel as though they were cot intruding but
welcome guests. We also thank the aind
lady who remembered our wauts, by send
ing us a "check apron."
Sometbixo New. Whilo out on a ram
ble yesterday we noticed something new in
the way of hack teams. Since the smash
up last Sunday our teamsters have been
rather timid of hor.e flesh, and yesterday
Messrs. Wilson and DelAoy, wishing to"
take their hack out, concluded to draw it
themselves; they put the brake hard down
and started, all went lovely until Wilson
flew tbe track seceded and refused to pull,
Dciany, true as steel, went on his way
alone.
Fcxeral Ceremonies. Tbe stranger
who died at one of our hotels a few days
since of consumption, and being a Mason,
was buried yesterday at three o'clock by
tbat Order according to their rales. He
earns from San Francisco and was en his
way to Southern Oregon to visit some of
bis relatives before his death, but he was
overtaken tnd fell a victim within a dsy's
jouraov of hU deatinatitin.
Ox Whrkui. The building lately occu
pied by Capt. Scott as a grocery store, is
being removed to the vacant lot west of tbe
Avenue House on State street, to make
room for the building which is to be erect

When this brick is finished State street
will present a very solid and substantial
appearance.
Bbiholes. We noticed a large load of
fine looking shingles on our streets yester
day which came from Cedar Camp, on Sil

Ghcrkius of that place. We were informed
that the several eamps of that district have
between three and four hundred thousand
ready for market. Tb old style of fasten
ing the benches witb sticks has been done
away with and hotp iroa used in its stead,
which make them much neater to handle
