Siid the Eait Portland En of last Saturday, "What the Democratic part must have to secure eaeoest at the ' next Preaideotial election it fbe united upport of all the Southern State." At least that wa the sentiment, and " the truth of it we consider undeniable. " That paper denounces in amUated measure, the ''Nf jPeparture.'V nV argue in faror of ta good old a'.r mocracy which caft ' command Souths rn support. This tueaa oppositioa to all that has beetaAffected bjr the late war, revival of the Southern theory of Slate Eights J and repeal of the amend ment to the Constitution and the re construction acts made in accordance with them. It means that the North baying overcome rebellion by force of arms and lost hundreds of thousands of lire and thousands of million of treasure in securing victory and per petratiog the Union, is to reconsider and recant its war history and drliberV ately surrender the government to tbe conquered rebel element. This sort of Democracy is much preferable. to that other which is wil liegHo aceeett mf position that prom ises succet. Tbe "New Departure" means no better, but is merely a bait thrown out in hopes that enough votes may be gained from Republican ranks to enable them to win a vie lory. Democratic success in any form means the reversal of.- the Constitutional amendments and endorsement oi State Rights theory, and then, when tbe gov ernment is oV centralized to suit them, the work of secession may commence again and go on undisturbed, for it will be contrary to established Demo-, cratlc precedent to keep the Union to gether by force of arms. So maay think it probable that when the South, having been indispensable to Democracy, helps that party to pow er, it will be satisfied to stay in the Union and rule and control It, but that will not be the case, for its role can never be permanent. Tbe Democrats of the South were lately the rebels in arms. Aside from tbe rebel element Democracy has no power there. What these disappointed rebels now work for is political suc cess to enable them To carry out their secesion designs,. If tbe Democratic party secures success by their voter, upon a platform of State Rights, which is the leading feature of that party at tbe present time, then those States, having helped Democracy to sustain that principle and acquire power under it, will be certain to improve the first opportunity to revolutionize tbe gov ernment and declare themselves again independent. This proposition is too plain to be denied, too evident not to be acknowl edged by fair men. Tbe success of tbe Union depends upon tbe success of the Republican party and to secure it we must work for principles and select good men to mantain and represent tbem. Democracy cannot succeed so long as the people are true to the prin ciples they fought for in 1861. - Abont Defalcations. The Democratic papers, and tbe Herald among the rest, are publifhing, from the official report of the Secre tary of tbe Treasury, a list of tbe "de falcations" of Federal office holders, which they claim amount in tbe aggregate to $20,000,000. Tbe suras referred to are not defalcations, but are amounts assessed which have not been collected, extending back until tbe commencement oL-the preseDt In ternal Revenue ft stem, about ten, year ago. Tbe facts are that during that time delinquent aesetsments foot up twenty millions ot dollars, or other wise, while tbe collections Lave amounted to $1,500,000,000, tbe amounts assessed, but which have not been collected, foot up twenty million. That is to say, tbe collectors have paid into tbe Treasury nearly ninety nine per cent, of tbe amount on tbe as sessors returns. There is probably no State or Nation tbat comes nearer than that to collecting its taxes and we doubt if Marion county comes tbat near. The real amount of defalca tions during that time do not amount to more than twenty cents on each one hundred dollars. That is to say, out of each one hundred dollars collected, the officials have been defaulters one dollar oat of each five hundred. The worst feature of this false statement is that the Herald and the rest -of tbem know that these delin quent taxes are not defalcations on the part of revenue collectors, and have made their assertioua for the purpose of misleading their reader b, m - Vrg false use of fact published in ofli.ial returns." This is all done to cover up the wickedneo of Tamnany Hall, which they had best repent of and atone for instead of palliating. An English clergyman has recently made himself a subject of ridicule by declaring tbat in Heaven , there are twelve women to one man, while in Hell there are twelve men to one wo man. This only illustrates tbe man's ideas of happiness and misery, and if twelve women would make a heaven for bim, why has he not as good a right to imagind and assert tbat tbe " happy land" is made op of women and men in a proportion of twelve to one as have others with different ideas of bliss to build heavens of their sort ? A few more such honest idiots as him self would do much to put down tbat absurd egotism of those whose specu lations and imaginings of things they know not of are continually thrusting aa fact before tbe world. The English divine ba as good proof tbat Heaven consists of more women than men as ba another asserter tbat angels have wings, etc. MrSj Hawkins, a Mormon wife, en couraged by Gentile influence to as sert her rights, has brought suit against her husband for adultery. She is his first, and according to tbe laws ot tbe United States his only legiti mate wife, and ia an : unbeliever in polygamy. Hawkins ha been held to bail in the sum of $5,000, and, in de fault of security will be lent to Camp Douglas. It is predicted that should tbe case result in the conviction and punishment of Hawkins, the example ot his wife will be followed by many others, who are only waiting to see some chance of escape from the corse of polygamy. Virginia papers say that the powdet tank found by the wrecker ia the Confederation iron-clad Richmond, now lying in thirty or forty feet of water, are in good condition, and the powder as dry and ready fUr use as be fore the submersion, six years ago! 'ax Editorial Correspondence. Pobtlasd, Sept. 20, 1871. This city feels considerably elated over .tbe tact tnat a locomotive t screaming through its streets, an ear nest ef the West Side railroad, which ifat being accomplished. Within a few weeks ibe truck wilt be laid and the car ruoalof from this to Hillsbcro, or thereabouts, and tbe good people of Tualatin Plains will be the next door neighbors to the metropolis. Tbe success of the East Side road, and the great increase of the freight and pas senger business upon it, will give con fidence to the West Side enterprise, and tend to cause capital to have faith tbat before long it will become a pay ing road. If HoIIaday pursues tbe policy, which we see confidently pre dicted in the papers, of maintaining a liberal policy towards tbe people, Ore gon will rapidly develop, and so cre ate a business for its railroads. WHKAT AND VBGKTABLKS. The late dispatches have caused tbe price of wheat to recede somewhat, and it is doubtful if it reaches $1,25 again in Salem this year. It will main tain a fair price, though, and all Ore goa will be prosperous with the two millions of dollars and over to come in for its surplus breadstuff. Now tbe sum of two millions of dollars will just about pay for tbe goods which are imported by two or three of the largest wholesale houses here, and the question is where does the money come from to pay for all tbe goods bought for this State by its merchants. In the single article of wheat we have a surplus, but we have no oats for sale, hay is already scarce and high, pota toes, cabbages and every thing else in the vegetabls line are scarce, and we shall be steady importers of potatoes, onions, cabbage, and every thing else in tbe vegetable line from now to next summer. That is what's tbe matter with Oregon and will be for a whole year to come. ' The dry season has mined tbe gar dens of our State and even the Colum bia river bottoms were drowned out by the June high water, and the potatoes planted afterwards were killed by the frosts a couple of weeks since and are worthless. One man here, Daniel Lower tells me be is having 20,000 bushels brought up from California He calculates to sell that many here, and supply tbe Willamette Valley. He bad an order from Albany tbe other day which he could not fill. So some of our surplus receipts for wheat sales will have to go to buy our winter's stock of vegetables, and while we talk of Califoraia being burned up and threatened with famine we look to that state for a snpply of vegetables for a state that is almost drowned with rains. Irrigation will insure good gardens, and eventually irrigated gar dens will be found profitable in this moist land of Webfoot. DR. A BORN. Dr. A born is establishing himself permanently here in Portland, and is fittipg up a large building on Third street, near Morrison, as an Infirmary for patients afflicted with eye, ear and throat diseases, etc. Tbe great suc cess he has already realized here ia treating these diseases, has made him a favorable reputation. I saw here yesterday, a painter named Houghton, who formerly lived in Stlrm, whose eyelids were so granulated, with ulcei ation of tbe cornea, that he could do no work and could scarce see at all. Another young oiau nntnrd Coleman, wbo brd come down from Yamhill for treatment, was another case of the same nature. Both of these, when I saw tbem, were in good possession ot tbeir eyesight, and were able to be at their work. The cure was effected speedily, while the affliction bad in each case lasted for years, and bad be come chronic. Dr. Aborn will be at Salem to treat aay patient who may come to him during the holding of tbe State Fair. WRKSTL1KO JOB THOMAS. I went into the office of Mitchell and Dolpb yesterday, where the taking of testimony is going on in relation to tbe Carruthers land claim, and took a look, at old Joe Thomas, the frontiers man, tbe recently turned up father of Finice Carruthers. He wa once a man of large and powerful frame, and is very old, 92 years of age, and has that appearance. Tbe lawyers are taxing the poor old mans mind tre mendously, and bis life must be a burden to bim under tbe multitude of their interrogations. He pauses for minutes at a time and' then gives it up, about some flat boat ride be took down tbe Mississippi aeveDty-five years eo. Ia the main his memory is still guul, anrf those whose claims depend upon bis idrbti'y are very confident of ncces, in fact, positive of it. When we recollect that the estate is north very near half million dollars it won't be considered surprising tbat they are interested in proving that tbe old man whose title they have pur chased, was the father of Carruthers. The Carruthers claim has been a bone.of contention ever since the death of the owner. At first it was sup posed to be an escheat to the State, as no known relations existed, but seme interested themselves to find relatives back East and purchased their inter ests. Others again discovered that old Joe Thomas, now 93 years of age, was Carruthers father, and tbat the letters real name should have been Thomas, but that father and mother disagreed, he went to tbe Indian coun try and she never heard of him more, and supposed that he was dead. She took her son, and under her maiden name came to Oregon at an early day. Tbat old Joe is what they claim seems probable. Lawyers bunting a clue, found him a mendicant in St. Louis, nearly a hundred years old, they gave him $5000 for his right and title, and last winter he had his small fortune, which he wore in a belt stolen, or loit it in some manner. So. he says .that he is ready to die which is extremely fortunate, as the questionings and cros questionings of those lawyers ' is very well calculated to worry what life there is left out of bim ; he is bowed and bent,' yellow with age, toothless and a little deaf, and has tbe appear ance of having been through much rough weather. P0RTLAKD. Along the riverside this city is com posed mostly of smells; some ot the SALEL1Y OREGON, jfir.3LlYTB most prodigious smell to be imagined lurk aadar the wharves and buildings on pile, eeatiaaally watching for cbaaoe ts make offensive demonstra tions "upon poor innocent travellers from the upper country. The Pert landers are so used to them tbat they can't live without them. Tbe cholera would have all the chance in the world if it could find time to come here this Summer. The town grows prodigiously, also, some of the new business structure are quite elegant, and back from the avenues of trade, dwelling houses are going up by the hundred. Kalama will hare to rustle aronnd lively in the future to catch np and I rather give it up, all things considered, that it can't do it, which is a great pity for Kalama. There is a great deal of bus tle and rush and turmoil in this city. People who want a quiet life and have tbe means to do it with, should by all means settle in Salem, and vice vena. Democratic Prospects. The present prospects of the Demo cratic party reminds a of an anec dote. Two Irishmen bad spent , part, of a stormy night In an LTTy ventilated room seeking rest but finding none. It bad been ceaselessly storming, when one of tbem hoping it was near break of day, tried to get a peep out ; feeling round in the dark be found the door of an old cupboard which however he mistook for a window ; this be opened and sought in vain for a ray of light. His companion asked, "well Jamie, how is tbe weather?" "Ocbe," was the teply, "it is as dark as Egypt and smells like cheese." The Democrats for a long time have found the weather for them very dark and stormy. In their New Departure they have found no daylight, but their press generally declare " it is dark as Egypt and smells like cheese." The best advice we can give tbem is to leave their dilapidated quarters. How different tbe outlook of Repub licanism. Our statesmen have clear, definite principles of which they may well be proud. They have a prosper ous Government to point to ; a coun try saved from dismemberment, and now at peace with all, and so attract ive tbat millions from other lands are seeking homes among us. Republi cans, it is light, and it grows lighter. Final Words to. Mr. Underwood. Willamette UmvERsrrr, Sept. 20, 1871. A man coining all tbe way from Boston to instruct tbe people of Ibis coast ought to know what be ia doing when be offers to "discuss" a ques tionwith another. That is tbe word be invaribly used as far as I have been able to ascertain; and I have seen his advertised chal lenge in some six different papers, as well as heard it announced from the rostrum, and I have notfound "debate" used in any instance. Now doe not every one know that alternately lecturing upon a subject would as properly " discuss" it as if replies were made tbe same evening ? I am led to believe that Mr. U. has narrow views of the definition of words, as well as erroneous views of God, and tbe Great Heieafter. I commend him to tbe Dictionary, for the meaning of words, and to tbe Bible lor the light of life. As to whose statements are " diaia genious and untrue," and wbo has been seeking "newspaper notoriety,". I leave the public to judge. Lowell L. Rogers. To the friends of Religion, in the communities where Mr. U. may have held forth, I desire to say that I am ready and anxious to review bis lec tures whenever it may be convenient and adviaaole. L. L. R. A Devoted Wife. Ten Years In male AttireHer Trials, Tribulations and Death. From tbe Oshkoah Northwester One of tbe most remarkable in stances of woman's attachment to man, and heroism under adversity, came to our notice to-day. To begin at the commencement, we will state tbat early in 1860, a young lady ia tbe city of Auburn, N. Y., the daughter of wealthy parents, eloped with a young man named Niles, a railroad engineer, and proceeded to Cleveland, O. They were pursued by an infuriated brother of tbe young lady, and in tbe latter place, to avoid detection, after the marriage ceremony had been per formed, tbe young lady arrayed herself in male attire. In this disguise, and while selling apples, she passed ber brother several times on the street without recognition on bis part. Sbertly afterwards, early in tbe war, tbe two went south to Nashville, Tenn., where Niles procured employment as a locomotive engineer, bis wife engag ing as fireman, still keeping up her disguise. Between Nashville and Chat tanooga, a shot fired from a rebel in flicted a serious wound upon the en gineer, and he was taken to tbe Gov ernment hospital at Murfreesboro, Tenn. His wife followed, and to her careful nursing Niles owes his life. When sufficiently recovered to endure tbe hardships of traveling, they re turned to Cleveland. A few month later the alleged gold discoveries at Madoc, Canada, attracted them thither,' ana tne wife accompanied her husband, still in masculine garments. The vicis- situdestof ber career, exposed to hard ships and accidents, were too severe, however, and a few weeks since she died at Cleveland, after a brief illness. Niles, who is now in this city, is a man about 40 years of age, and does not re fer to the heroic devotion of his wife but in terms of the warmest admira tion. Tbe amount of money sent across tbe water by immigrant to friend left behind, principally to pay their pas sage to America, is rather surprising. From. the official return of the emi gration commissioners of England, it appears that in 1870 there was sent from this county, to Ireland princi pally, $3,630,040 in gold, of which $1,663,190 was for pre-paid passages. In the twenty-three years from 1848 to 1870, inclusive, is upward of $81,670, 000, in sold, being an average of about $3,889,047 yearly. But this amount is probably somen bat below tbe actual amount sent, as it only includes what has been sent through banks and com mercial bouses. Of whatever msv have been sent through private chan nels there is no knowledge. And these sum, large a they are, are made no by careful savings from tbe wages of servant gins ana aay laborers. "So yon are going to keep school?" said a young lady to her maiden annt. "Well, for my part, sooner than do that, I would marry a widower with nine children." "I would prefer that myself, v was tbe quite reply ; "but where s tne widower t ' . -.r-a) v -T ' . ... .' Van. JV. , . ' 9-n v "ar? -s,, ai i e Sl T v' ' .. , ....

TaiMnnrntBL. General News. Fnrtland. We learn from tbe Herald that the steamer Constantino was taken off this route toe tbe purpose of going to Alaska to take the furs of -t h Com oany which own ber to San Francisco. The steamer Ajax will sail for San Francisco, on Thursday evening at 7 tlock p. m. The same paper says that a China man and a white man bad a dispute in relation to the custody of a Celestial maiden. The white man got the best of the argument by capturing the wo man, whereupon John drew a revolver, but was prevented from using it. Tbe Oregonian says : It is expected that tbe track on Fourth street will be connected to-day at tbe Fourth street bridge, in which case the locomotive will make a tiial trip across tbe bridge and up the road as far as the track is laid. We learn from a gentleman, just from Seattle, that Capt. White, an old navigator and steamboat man on Pu get Sound, has recently gone to San Francisco to procure a steamer to ply between Portland and Puget Sound. Our informant says that very many of the merchants of the Sound towns have united in a pledge to give Capt. White their freighting, in case he sbonld put on a steamer. An unsophisticated purp name and residence unknown got acquainted with the railroad yesterday. The tale is a brief one, bnt the dog's tail is a briefer, and briefer too than it was yesterday morning. The hand con struction car was runmog down tbe grade of Fourth street with a number of laborers on board, when the dog, more brave than wise, rushed at it with an energetic bowwow, evidently under the impression that a snap and a snarl would run the thing off. The car, however, went on ; so did the dog just ahead, then on the right, and then again on the left, as dogs are wont to do when chasing a terrified or pestered animal. He, however, cross ed the track once too often. Tbe dog got across all right, but bis tail didn't, and quicker than the wink of an eye that dog had no tail to wag. That oeautiful, long, silken appendage lay a crumbled wreck in tbe dust on one side of tbe rail, while the dog stood amazed on the other and wondering if lightning had struck any other dog There was no further contest tin that line. What was left of the dog went home satisfied tbat there is no use in trying to resist these cnuhirtg .monopo lies. The Bulletin says that a meeting of the Puget Sound Homestead Aaso-a tion beld on the 9th inst., it was re solved that at the meeting to be held November 2, 1871, the matter of tbe division of tbe property would be taken under consideration and sub mitted to the stockholders. A large portion of the passengers brought by the Ajax are persons who come here to engage in mechanical and agricultural pursuits. Many of them are from the various European countries, and Were attracted here by tbe several railroad In process of con struction. . Tbe faster they come the tier for all ; there is plenty ot rt and work for them in this State. The Oregonian says : Tbe public is generally awaro tbat a Stupendous law suit is pending be tween rival claimants of the Carutbers estate in this city.tLe parties en one side claiming the right by purchase from heirs dug up in one of the Southern States ; on tbe other, through pur chase of " Wrestling Joe," said to be the father of Finice Carutbers. It will be recollected that two or three years ago, Messrs. Terwillinger and Stepb ens put in a claim acquired by pur chase of an interest of the heirs of one Johnson, a British subject, who it is claimed, settled prior to tbe time of Carutbers, and died upon it. At that time the country was in the joint oc cupancy of the United States and Great Britain. These latter parties claim tbat Johnson died seised of tbe ownership and tbat his right or that of bis beirs, was never extinguished This claim was tried in our courts and npon appeal, tbe Supreme Court de cided adversely to it. Yesterday, Col. W. W. Chapman, as attorney for the claimants, filed a motion for an ap peal to the United States Supreme Court, and the appeal was allowed. This action comolicaus the contro versy, and snch a thing is possible as that it may enventuate in tbe over throw ot both the other contending parties. In accordance with the treaty re cently concluded between England and tbe United States, Postmaster Wake field of this city will begin, on tbe 22d of October, to issue money orders on Poitoffices in Great Britain. A considerable number of in grants, arrived by the steamer Ajax The'train of yesterday morning took a onmberof them to Oregon City and other points ap the valley. The pas senger conch was crowded to its fullest capacity, and a eonsiderable number of way passengers were compelled to go in the baggage ear.

Mr. Ellis, sent to the Insane Asylum yesterday, from Sauvle's Island, pre sented a most piteous appearance. She is apparently quite young, and in stead of enjoying her girlhood in a ra tional manner, is a mother and a Iran na tie lunatic. Her weakness is snch that she cannot stand alone : vet. when her attendants attempted to put ber into a carriage, she appeared to divine ber desiinatioo, and resisted with more than ordinary force. She has an infant eight days old. This afternoon, at two o'clock, tbe railroad track along Fourth street was completed, and tbe locomotive John H. Couch, having on board W. L. Halsey, Vice President of the road, Geo. W. Weidler and Capt. Turnbull, passed over the Fourth-street bridge. Tbe locomotive, when she reached the middle of tbe structure, blew her whistle and passed on to the end of the bridge, where she stopped to take on board Ben Holladay, President of the road, and ex-Senator Geo. II. Wil liams, and then proceeded to tbe end of the track, some two miles distant. Returning, tbe whole party crossed on the locomotive. Tbe trip demonstrat ed tbat the Fourth-street bridge, not- ith8tandiog its great beightb, is one of the best built and most substantial railroad structures to be found on any road, la crossiog with the heavy lo comotive tbe structure remained per fectly solid not giving or swaying .a tbe slightest degree. A large number witnessed the event. The Postmaster General, under the provisions of the postal treaty be tween England and the United States, designated the Portland office as one of the offices to issue money orders on Post Office in Great Britain.

Tbe Union says : Tbe first case of smtll-foi has end ed by the recovery of the patient, and his removsl to bis home on Birch Creek. The case of Robt. Moody ter minated fatally, on Monday night. There are no other cases, nor have there been. Nor is there any pros pect of more. - Our friends in the country need not fear to come to town. From Mr. Jos. Wolfstein who- has been at Belleville during tte summer with a stotk of goods, we gather a few items of interest in relation to that country. At Union Flat and Forks of Palouse, there are eighty three settlers, and more coming, and 11 delighted with their location. Samples of wheat and oats, raised on new ground, first crop, were shown us, which look very fiae. Tbe yield is re ported of wheat, at from 60 to 65 bushels to tbe acre ; oats, 70 to 75 bushels to the acre, with straw six feet high, and other grain in propor tion. The saw mill of Messrs. Perkins, Reynolds k Hollins worth, at Palouse Forks, commeoced running last Tues day, the 12tb of September on a fine quality of timber. Belleville 1 situ ated at the Fork of Palouse, forty two miles north of Snake river, which is crossed at Angel's Ferry, over a good wagon road. This country needs surveying at once. From tbe Trantcript we learn tbat the Northern Pacific Railroad Compa ny have commenced to examine their lands, to ascertain their quality and prepare tbem for sale and settlement. Mr. E. Meeker has been ordered on an examining crnlse in - Pierce county, and left this place oa Tuesday to dis charge tbat duty. Five other parties are doing the same work south of thia place. Hotels ia Washimoto. Washing ton is said not to be a first class city for hotels, and we understand from oar Eastern exchanges' that four out of seven principal hotels there have given up. Willard'a baa closed, it i said, ' forever. Tbe Metropolitan has changed hand ; tbe former proprietor failed to respond financially, and tbe furniture is to be sold. The Seaton House furni ture has beea sold and the building ia to o pst to other nses. Another Mi tel, it ia reported, ia about to go on-, der. Tbe absence of tbe President and Cabinet bat in a measure brought about this result, for the reason that person having business with tbem, including many seekers for official pe tition, have directed their steps else where daring tbe past Bummer. ait $2 50 The City and County.

We saw the plan and specifications yesterday of the light house keeper's dwelling, which i to be erected thia Fall at Cape Fonlweather, near Yaqulna Bay." The nouae a doable one -when finished, will be handsome, com modious and substantial, and is almost enongh to satisfy any one that it would be a pleasure to All the office of keeper with snch a bouse to live ia. Tke light house will be constructed with brisk, having a solid stone and cement foaodafAun. Sersatioxai & ahert time since the Enlcrpri$ gave sredeno to a report tbat a man named Phoney, a resident of that elty, had been kOM, wMt working oa tbe rail road. It appear tbe nan has a family re-' siding at that place, and we learn the wife, not earing any too much for hi welfare, married another man. Imagine the horror of the happy couple at his return home on Sunday last. W presume- an " equitable adjustment" was made of the. matter, as the man, Pbeney, was seen in this place last evening looking none the worse over tbe transaction. New Hose Comfast. There is a rumor afloat to the effect that a new Hose Com pany is to be organised for the porposo of bringing the water ia street mains into requisition by mean of hydrant. There are two such companies in Oregon City, and are said to be vastly superior to the fire engine. There is an excellent show to organise such a company here at present, and we hope to reeord the fact that such a move is made at a very early day. .Yisitobs. Salem is literally full and running over with strangers, many of whom are gentlemen of distinguished legal abil ity wbo are her attending Court. They appear to be a very civil set, and as Court will lie in session for several weeks, their presence can be relied on. We are glad they are here, at mischief-makers seem to be at a discount. We expect to hear of Portland getting on a huge drunk. Good School. The public school st Dallas began its Fall term on the 11th inst. with aa excellent corps of teachers. M. M. Oglesby is Principal, and is assisted by Mia Ida Witlen and Miss Amelia Scriber. Both of these ladies are graduate of Willamette University, and are highly competent to fill positions as teachers. Cob!ieb Stoxe. On yesterday afternoon Father Waller, in company with other clergymen, took a trip to the quarry in South Salem for the purpose of selecting tbe corner stone for the new M. E. Chnrch.

This is tbe best more that ha been made for some time ; the example is worthy or imitation, and we hope to see more of this work. It is a fact patent to all that the greatest needs of oar city at the present Is a complete system of sewers, whereby the filth may be conveyed where it will aot be obnoxious. - At n very small ex pesse the river could be made the recepta cle of tbe greater part of the refuse matter which is aeeaaralating rapidly and already becominr anile offensive. We hope the city fathers will eon.iler tbe matter and devise some plan whereby this much sired result can be brought about. The Schools. Never in our city has the public schools been better attended or In mora flourishing condition at this season of tbe year. Tbe daily attendance amounts to over three hundred pupils, and this number will ba greatly increased after th State Fair, when a more lengthy notice will be given. Th buildings ar in good repair except the central building, the win doer of which need immediate attention by those wbo hsv 'charge of it.

We notice that several persons are hauling straw from the grainfielda near by, for which they realise from three to four doIHrs a load, delivered in the eity. From Friday JMH. Assistaxce to Ebigrabts. Persons de sirous of moving from vn country to an other' are sometime deterred from so doing on account of not having sufficient knowl edge of the country as to enable them to make a judicious (election of homes. En tering a strange land they do not ieel them selves competent guides f location that are both healthy and valuable, and if when acting upon their own judgment they suc ceed, it is as much a matter of chance as any thing else. Sometimes it becomes necessary for our best farmers to change countries whereby more healthy climate may be realized, or some other interest may be enhanced ; to this end they need the ad vice and opinions oi those familiar with the country and its surroundings. Oar Real Estate Agents should ba the individuals from whom all necessary information could be derived. It is tbe duty of snch an agent, not only to keep a few houses for sale or rent, but bis business should lead him to gain a complete knowledge of all the coun try aronnd where he may be located ; to keep a record Of not only the lands he msy hare for sale, but of all others that are for sale, whether in tbe hands of agents or not, lie should be so conversant with the coun try as to be able to give any information concerning the quality of land, it value, end whatever advantages or disadvantage it msy possess. In fact he should be thor oughly posted ia every particular. This being th ease a stranger need only consult an ageut, and under such circumstances his information could be relied on. We are glad to see such aa interest manifested to ward persons from abroad seeking homes in Salem or in the country adjacent. Let our agent be quick in the discbarge of their duties, and tbe time will soon come when to leave home will not be so difficult a task. Street Obstrittioxs. ior several days our attention has been called to the fact that water mains are lying .on tup of tbe ground, along State street. Wa presume that if a horso should break his leg, or a team should run awsy and smash, up things generally, somebody would be responsible. Why it is necessary to lay the pipe along a street so long before it can be placed under ground we cannot understand. Uetl-bred. Mr. Cooper, ot Spring Val ley, has just returned from a visit to bis old home in Missouri. He says the people of tbat State, and also Kansas, are crasy with excitement about Oregon. He is con fident in tbe belief tbat our population will be increased this year more than any year previous. Good Pbick. Farmers appear to be the happiest set of tellow ia. the country. Good prices for wheat causes many a face . to wear a pleasant smile. We learn tbat some have not yet sold ; in all probabilities they will wait till next year and then sell for still less. Such persons should learn to "press" a good thing when they get it. Miss Axthoxt's Gospel. This gospel, in tho brief space of two or three waeks, has cost tbe people of Salem, Oregon City, Portland and Dalle City a sum not much short of five thousand dollars. We object on the ground that it is too expensive. New Bcildiro. Charles Bowker in forms us that the last brick of Gray's building wss laid last evening.' This build ing when completed will be a credit to the city. Wixdt. Yesterday -Solus must have turned. loose all his little wind gods and big ones too.

Geer, a resident of th Waldo Hills, informs as that there have beea no frost to destroy vegetables of any kind this year in hia neighborhood. The price f wheat to-day is $1 10 cents per bushel. There are messages in the Telegraph of fice for James Eoff and John D. Coughlin. R i six ess. Thirty tons of flour leave the Salem Mills daily. During a steam voysge on a sudden stoppage of the machinery, eonsidera ble alarm took place among tbe female passengers.

H., tbat out-door athletic exercise are tbe fashion, and one of the novelties is the potato race, which is thus described: - A very curious trial of speed and strength it is. Three lines of potatoes were laid. Each line i of fifty each a yard from each other. Ot course each line is forty-nine yards long. At the end of each lloe i n basket, by which at tbe start a contestant stands. In this case there are three competi tors. At the word "go," each one be gins where he chooses oa his line to pick np potatoes that ha may bring tbem to tbe basket, lie must pick up but one on each trip and turn to bring it back into tbe basket. Your mathe matical readers will sen that this in volve 7,350 feet of running, with ucb deductions as may be made for an outstretched arm, when one comes to hi basket; and, with tho serious ad dition of two.turns for every potato, or one hundred turns in all. Three spirited contestants entered, and one of them, named "Thrasher," distinguished here as "having won' a tub race in the last sports, which were acquatic, performed the feat in a little more than nine minutes. If yon have ever any occasion to try, let me tell you tbat tbe scientific performance ia to take your long runs first, when your wind is good. When you want to regain your breath, tak yoar short runs, which involve the delay of turn ing, but are easier for breathing. You see how good the time wss for a mile and a half. The greatest man ia he wbo chooses, tbe right with invincible resolution ; who resists the sorest temptations from within and without ; who bears the heaviest burdeos cheerfnlly ; who is the calmest in atorms, and whose reli ance on truth, oa virtue, on God, is the most unfaltering. Tbe reigning belle al Saratoga is re ported to have fire huge trunks, two French maids, a hired young lady companioo, two pet canaries, a pair of pooies and a nobby phaeton, and a shabby, sore-eyed poodle.
