What's Hecuba to him or he to Hecuba," might Be'saouesraiiy? p&mprifasgffiii this con hectldrfwlth resped to' Uila tearfulness of Democracy towards tlie Nationnl Iabor cause. Jinkre Davis as a Dem ocrat may be-graf ifled at sach a proof that, the -professed representatives of the Labor cause liave confidence iu hiui, btrt n lt is the 8M3ile(J National Labor cause, ami what does' it repre sent? There Is an outside element, too clamorous and ultra to work in common wRh drearest of human na ture, cfcpoh s eter holding conventions for some ' purpose or other, clamorous lot rights'" and'partfailnr In urging preforms.' If these men remained Inside of the popular political organi zaflous ami .would work to combine the labor element, which predominates in each, rrmcb igood might be effected. In both tlie Republican and Democrat ic parties the laboring men are in ma jority, arid $bey have a common Inter est which could be protected if tliey would act nnitoilly. The truth Is ilutt Capital and labor are mutually depend ent ant all that laboring men can ak la such a price as the world is able to pay and capital can afford. It is in dispensable that labor shall be well paid and unless the laborer receives a comfortable competency times become bard and capital cannot be safely in vested. When the laboring man suf fers the capitalist repines. Again, if labor receives too high a remuneration the only result is that prices ot necessaries advance to corres pond. ' The best times, and those when national prosperity is indicated, are when comfort prevails in the homes of the people. The cause of labor is the plainest and simplest of all interests. The laboring men have the power if they will learn how to use it, and each i political party must accord lull rights to labor or go down. The National Labor Convention' may have its preference for President, but .the -laborers themselves belong to one or the other jKlitlcaI party and have'sirong attachment4 to' principles whidh'the mere question of labor can not decide. It Democracy supports , Judge Davis it cannot expect to win ' to his support any large body of Re publicans. . Drowning 'Democracy catches at straws and it may swamp the National Labor wiu-, but cannot be saved by-tying its tinholy fortunes to it. . . . - . t Oregon in Congress. The Congressional Globe of January, 23d contains the following : , Mr. Corbett.

OregouV "Wruld ectnUlyi represent tliat, under coIor, of declara tiveprctensc In .pursuance of the act ofXngsB Rpprdved March 12. I860," tlie Legislature of .tlie fetate oi Oregon, at its last session, passed- a act pro yiding Aff the seleetioo and sale of tlie swamp and overflowed lands ' belong ing to the State of Oregon ; and tiiat under the provisions of the said act of the igwlaUire, land speculators, mem bers of the Legislature and their con-, frerwr made mt j.rlor to the passage of sawaetnuiig. to oover neanip jiu the lands claimed to be tf the charac ter . denominated -swamp and over flowed lands, thereby creating a mo-' nopoly to the great injury ot land and: laboring citizens : and further, by tlie! acts xt the comnilssloners appointed to make the selections of swamp and overflowed lands, preemptora- and homestead settlers are being deprived: ot tlieir just rights, in direct violation , of the spirit "of the said act of Con gress, and inoppositiou to the genius of Republican institutions. ' l lie greater part or ilia Jan a tnas claimed are made valuable only on ac count of tlie overflow, thereby pro-' ducing the finest pf hay lands, with out which, large 'districts of .country tvould be Tendered wholly unfit for settlemeutl -'. . Therefore, believing' that that giant of Congress has lapsed, and the sub ject-matter fallen under the direct , power ana control or uongress, we re- spectfully ftsk for such legislation as will secure to actual settlers. In limited ruiantities, antler the provisionB jbf. tlie i i j -i . - 1 1 uoinetjtrau auu piv-euipuuii rignis mi lands that are of sufficient value to justify such settlements.

I move -the reference of these petitions to the Committee on Public Lands. i lhe motkm was agreed to. j . Also In another, number of late date ' we read thatJjE. Corbett asked, and by unanimous consent obtained leave. to Introduce a bill (8. No. 510) for the improvement of tlie Willamette and Columbia rivers in Oregon: which "was read twice by its title, referred to theCorainittcon.Coiiiuierce, and or dered to be printed. He also a-ked,. and by unanimous consent obtained, leave to hitrotlucc a : bill (S. No. 511) to amend an act en titled "An act to provide for tlie pay ment of exbenses incurred by the Ter ritories of Washington and Oregon in tlie suppression of Indian hostilities -therein in the year 1855 and 1856, ap- , proved k March 2, 1861 ; which was " read twice by' its title, reterred to the .

It doesq't strike us that the peo- . pie of Oregon would have much show if a Democrat should get the place. " The case would go against us by de-1 fault with another man Kke Kel- - ly there, '. ' . A Mormon Apostle. a ' y Te . , v .The late Mormotv Legislatorc passed an act to provide for a convention to frame a constitution for a State goveni ; fnetif. I jQoy,- AYood vetoed the ; bill, ". much to tlie disgusf it the Mormon leaders and people, but tlie difficulty .was overcome by passing a. join reso lution to the same effect, which was a .forte of legislatSoli; Effective, and which did not require the approval of the Executive. That convention has fliet and Is now in session, with . M. Branum, once of this St.ite',as Its'pre-; siding officer. Barnum lias been in TJtah during tlie w inter, and has, it seems succeeded admirably In aequir- OREGON ing the confidence of the 4 Latter Day Saints." ITe U liigiily honoi-ed by thein nnd m.iy poibjy do gootl wrvicc in the cause. That gentleman h:vs vi brated from one sensational sclicme to another for ten years past witliout much success, and lie seems at last to have "struck it rich," for the Mor mons are able and willing to pay well for services rendered. On the whole, the alliance is rather a natural event. The Mountain and the Mouse.. The DemotTatic inonutain has been in labor and tlie mid wives of the In vestigating Commission liave made proclamation to tlie world and lo ! the mountain has brought forth a mouse. How much money it cost the State to produce tills Inntling of a report to the Democratic world we cannot say, but it is safe to say that tlie people liave at least $5,000 in good coin in vested In tills rather unprofitable en terprise and of course they will Insist upon knowing what they have received as an equivalent. So we , proceed to discluirge our duty in tliat respect and inform , tlietn. Of course the work which employed the Inquisitors and their able secretary for considerably over ft year canuat. be reviewed lit an hour, but we can touch on some of the most brilliant bits of dullness and give our friends an Idea of tlie game, re serving minute . details of inspection and criticism for use in the interval between now and., the approaching election, as spice for the campaign. As to the delinquencies of the late Secretary, tlie people know that It did not require the action of any Commis sion to ascertain what they were, for the records tliat transmitted his ac counts to his successor were evidence of how well he had disoliarged his du ties or tliat he had been delinquent, The youthful collegian who worked op the case, charges as a crime, that lie issued warrants, when no appropria tion existed to authorize them. Well! so did his successor, Secretary Chad wick, until the decision of Judge Boise ruled to the contrarr. It looks very contemptible that tlie commissioners should feel obliged to pettifog tlie only part of the case against the late State officers that liad any cause for action in it, but this single fact illustrates tliat they carried on tlie business in a very small way. In regard to tlie State Treausrer a great deal of indignation Is wasted be cause be kept a portion of tlie State funds on deposit at Portland banks. This he did at the suggestion and by tlie advice of his bondsmen and to re lieve his own appreheusions, and tlie money was not " loaned " the banks at all, but was placed there on deposit by the treasurers ot Northern counties, to the credit of the State. Trying to make of this that the Treasurer loaned the State money to these banks is an other specimen of pettifogging In keep ing with the object and interest of the commission. ... -i - It seems that the State Treasurer went East and paid cash out for the State in New York and tlie Secretary Issued warrants to him for the amount, at their face, and the commission sus pect hat he paid out currency and got back coin after many days, and if be did, which is not proved, he received no interest on his money, no difference of exchange and no credit for facilitat ing the State business by advancing his own money for its use, at a distant point. This heavy cliarge against that officer is alont of a muchness with the other that he gave the P. T. Co. office rent free, the fact being that tlie Secre tary of tliat company was his deputy and kept his company books there for convenience. tj -V The case agaiust Major Berry, is based on many ' loose-jointed proposi tions and in specialty on the affidavit of some man who was guard tliere under him, ; but managed to keep in with his successor by swearing as a fact that tlie Warden occasionally car ried off small Items of groceries hidden under his coat-tail. . Tliat certainly was a stunner, and it is tlie biggest count in the indictment, and only for that particular swear, and one other to be referred to, we might think the mid wifery ol Ben Birch and Frank Bon. ham and "Cue-Bill" Amis bad all been a-miss. - : ' The Other particular swear Is the one by Michael Waltlier, the janitor of the State offices in the past adminis tration, who slated' tliat Gov. W oods used the Stale kerosene. Now If Geo, L. Woods drew rations of coal oil we have no disposition to excuse it, though we incline to w ish some such illuminator had been placed at the dis posal of the trio of male grandmothers who composed the hLstoric inqusitlons, but we realize, in reading the report, that tlie commissioners were principal ly enlightened by gas. , Very unfortu nately for our confidence in the state ment of Waltlier, we remember that he never liked Woods, and was prin cipally prejudiced against him because he forgot to remunerate him lor fan cied services rendered. Also, we rec ollect that at tlie time this inquest was licld Waltlier divided his time lietween the office of the commisioii and neighboring brewery, and how much lager It required to get at this kerosene story yet remains to te proven. . . Michael who. was always called " George " for short also says he kept a room warm and comfortable for Mr". Griswold and another, and tliat Gris- wold only gave him an old coat for bis pnlns. Now Grlwoldisa Democrat and appreciates comfort well enough to pay for it, and he says he paid Ml- chael, alias George, twenty dollars In coin. So we invite the commission to swear this brother Democrat to find out how reliable the janitor's word is. Now, we have to say that there are facts leaking out in relation to the management of the Penitentlaay and the building ot the new one, tliat form an offset to this report and when prop erly developed will show the people of Oregon how much they have gained by tlie change. The subject Is a vat and prolific one and will last us some time Tor "Nlobc" In yesterday's editorial read ' Hecuba.". .. The other . woman won't answer.

" Eroiii Wetliicsfrvf Diilj. , After a ; Meai We are Informed tliat a man named Fiuley Jack, and a small boy, a fewveuings ago' while on their way home from a protracted meeting a few miles from Silverton, near Butte creek, were followed by a cougar, which they at first mistook for a dog. ' While passing through a lane, the animal made its appearance by jumping over the fence and following after. .Jack, thinking that It was a dog, thought but little about it until it approached to within a few feet, when he discovered hi3 mistake. He sum moned up all his courage, and having heard it related that a cougar would flee at the sound of the human voice, lie stopped, wbeu tlie animal immedi ately assumed a crouching attitude, as if for springing. There was no show but to thee the music, which lie did, and bravely, too, by walking back and applying the toe of his boot to the Deast s unaer law, at tne same time tittering a lond yell This bad the ef fect to intimidate tlie beast and cause it to disappear In the darkness. They went home', and in the morning pro cured some dogs and started in 'pur suit. The dogs scented the animal to hi hfdihg place, -Touted him out, but could not induce him to ciimb a tree. rtler several liours the cJuwc vu abandoned. Medical Association. The Medi cal Society of the Third Judicial Dis trict commenced In this city on Mon day last at 10 o'clock A. M. The meeting was well attended considering the inclemency of the weather, tliere being about twenty-five physicians in attendance, representing the counties of Marion, Polk and Linn. The re tiring President, Dr. Belt, delivered an able and interesting address, re viewing the hardships aud difficulties under , which the early physicians of Oregon had labored, and strongly urged harmony and concert of action among the. physicians of tlie present day. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: Presi dents, Dr-HUl, of Albauy ; Vice Pres ident. DrS. Giesy and Davis, of Marion county, Recording Secretary, Dr. Jes-; sup; Correspond uig secretary, Dr. Carpenter. The meeting was.in every way harmonious, ana it is to oe noped that medical sciance may be advanced aud tlie standard of medical education elevated by such associations. , Weather Record. Mr. Thos.

Salem Orchestra. w e heard a remark made yesterday by a compe tent critic, very flattering to the suc cessful progress being made by the Salem Orchestra. It is a matter for commendable pride that our city pos sesses such excellent musical talent as this band of musicians. Judges of music from abroad join iu praise of the excellent start making by the Orches tra and we hope to soon hear of a mu sical entertainment to be given by the company and for its benefit. The Orcliestra consists of tlie following jmt- sons : leader, Prof. A L. 1 mncis : Violinist, J. II. Haas : Pianists, Mises (iray and Moores; Organist, frank Strong: r musts, u. Murphy and r..

After tlie close of the exercises ou Monday evening at the University, the members of the Medical Faculty, graduates and schol ars, -with a few invited friends ad journed to Tremont Hotel and partook of a very elegant supper, then repaired to the Opera House and spent an hour or so in having a good social time. The orchestra was present to lntei spevso music with the flow of soul, and the occasion was a very agreeable one to all concerned. , Engnieers at Work. A corps ot engineers , were at work yesterday running lines to test tlie question of removal of tlie line, of railroad track to come through Front street. The survey was commenced half a mile be low the Fair Ground by a party bead ed by Mr. Webber and a good line found, -avoiding low ground, to the north end of Front street, and last eve ning they were running lines across the creek by tlie flouring mill of Messrs. Kinney & Sou, on South Mill Creek. Tlie work will be continued to-day. Fhom tub Country. Mr. David Newsom writes us that vegetation is ' several weeks ahead of last year ; cat tle are thin and their owners see to what good use the straw could have been put which many of them burned last Summer.

When we hear of a lady who succeeds in a calling which is seldom chosen by the fair sex, we like to give it a frctty good share of publicity. An Eastern exchange tells of a lady who deara $24 per week over and above her board.-setting type. As this employ ment is so well adapted to the, tastes : of ladies, we wonder that there are not more of them learning to set type. Bible Depository. Mr. A. T. Yeaton, Bible Agent, has just received a large lot of bibles, testaments and psalms.-; They are for sale on such reasonable terms &i to enable even the poorest to possess.

He missed tlie papers hi a few minutes after, they were stolen, as he was at the time en gaged in "marking'" and "etieckhig" tne ainierenr articles. s?arcn was continued for two days, but without success.

Last week Hugh Owens had delivered at hi3 store in South Salem 4,000 pounds of potatoes which were reaised in Tillamook, and ship ped around to Portland on the schooiv cr Augusta. These potatoes are as large as any we have ever seen In this market, and they must be of excellent flavor as 2,000 "jpounds liave already been disposed ot. South Salem has a good thing in the potato line. Concert. We call attention to the advertisement of Mr. D. VV. Prentice, that his large class in vocal music will give a concert on next Tuesday eve ning, March 12th, at the Opera House. Mr. Prentice has done much to give a musical education to the voting tieople of our city and a fine entertainment may be expected from his present ClilSS. ' , s Mr. J.N. Matheny requests us to tender his acknowledgements to the many friends who have rendered serv ices during the last illness of Mrs. Ma theny and to say that he deeply ap preciates the kind attentions and earn est sympathy so freely bestowed. How to Dikect Letters. A cir cular from tlie Post Master General, which Is posted in the Postoffice, re quests all persons to name the county as well as town and State, in writing addresses to letters. It Is considered important to do so to secure speedy and sate delivery. FisniNG. A large number of little boys, aud also some of a much larger growth," spent tlie da' yesterday fisli- hig. Every nibble" proved a bite," and every bite," was the death of a fish. We ence heard ot au unlucky fisherman, but his fate was not shared by any of the boys yesterday. New Encampment.

Ou Sun day night last, the store of Mr. Lindeey was broken Into and, when tlie morning came Mr. L. discovered that seme of the goo Is were missing, but the exact amount he could in tell. Parties were suspected, and npon searching, th I stolen goods consisting of two suits of clothes, were fonndcachod in a barn A bit of strategy was then resorted to. On Monday night it was supposed tlie thieves would come for their new snlts, and accord ingly a oonple of detectives were stationed Dear the bars to receive them. Sure enough, aliout midnight along came the fellow to complete the Job they had begun the night be- ! fore. On apiiroaching the barn the two de tectives made a rush lor them, bat tailed to capture them, as the night was dark and the thieves were fleet of foot. However they did net escape being identtflea, as the detectives knew them by their voices.

Mr. (jaines is entitled to celebri ty as the owner of the Gamer (.laves, whose llight from slavery and recaii- ture at Cincinnati, resulted In the aw ful tragedv, in which Margaret Garner slew her children to save tliein from the fate of slavery. Even iu the cal loused state of tlie public conscience of tliat time, this illustration ol" slavery as it appeared to a desperate mother, sent a thrill of horror throughout the north ; and with the lapse of time the real feature of the tragic act liave In come more deeply impressed iqion the public mind.

The Democratic party is welcome to its memories. An Ingenious Invention. There is a clock ou exhibition at the Maryland Institute Fair which isa novelty equal, it not superior, iu its intricacies, to the great clock at Strasbourg. It strikes the quarter hours, on four balls of dif ferent tones. It strikes an alarm to awaken the master of tlie house. Lights a lamp and kindles a fire in the stove. A carriage Is seen coming a road. - It stops before the inventor's place of business, and tlie occupant of the vehicle gets a clock which lias lieeu left there for repairs. A bell is sound ed in tlie chamber of a servant, who awakes apparently astonished at being roused Irom a sound sleep. She looks around for a few minutes, and, being a modest girl draws tin curtains so as to arrange her toilet. Tlie carriage is again upon the road. Near a rocky eminence, a robber springs from a Sive and attempts to stop tlie horses. A desperate fight ensues. A farmer near the roadside, not seeing tlie rol ber, tries to lielp the coachman urge tlie horses along. A hunter in the dis tance, discovers the robber, flre,s his rifle, wounds tlie highwayman, who fills back into tlie cave. Tlie carriage drives ou with its occupant. All this work is performed through the extra ordinary manipulations of the clock. This Is certainly one of the most nota ble features of mechanism on exhibi tion, and is well worthy the attention of tlie visitor. ... - . WnENCETiTE Name "Pennsylva nia."

The Russian Government has, after a long hesita tion, decided finally to dismantle the fortress of Rings on account of Its strategically unfavorable situation, and to con vert It Into an open town. Tlie fortifications have long becu out of re pair. Tlie works were legun iu 1650 and completed in 170V standing several sieges while iu progress. The Russians first besieged the city in 1650 ; tlie Saxon and Polish armies tested the strength of the walls next in 1700, and the Russians followed a second and third tune in 1705 and 1708. Tlie citadel capitulated on the 4th of July, 1710. Dnring the past twenty or thirty years tlie place lias been nominally a fortress. Some of tlie walls were removed in 1752, and now the city lias, by au agreement with the Government, undertaken to complete the dismantlement in five years. An excliatige remarks : 'Some peo ple.
