Rebuplican Enthusiasm! CHEERS FOR GRANT AND WILSON ! Old 3Iriou Riarlii ! The meeting at the Opera House, last evening, to ratify the Republican nominations now in the field, was a most decided and gratifying success. The audience room was tilled, even to the remotest seats, a large uuiiilier of the ladies of Salem gracing the oc oceasiou with tlieir presence. It has been very seldom that Salem has ever turned out a more intelligent or a more enthusiastic audience, since the close of the great rebellion. The speakers were Messrs. Meachi'in, Mallory and Boise, who made brief, telling siH-eehes, abounding with hap by hits at the distraction 'which ap pears to lie the nilein the ranks of the Bed-rock Xew Ueiwirtuii! Passive Possum Democracy; searching and caustic reviews of the disgracefully extravagant, unconsti tutional and swindling legislation of the last iJciiiocratic legislature; and triumphant vind'u-ations of tlie Ke publican party and its policies. Allusions to Grant and Wilson were invariably received with loud and prolonged applause, in which even mail' of the ladies seemed to join. It was clear that that audience was einpliatically for Wilson for Con gress and tor Grant for President. The demonstration, altogether, was a most unmistakable inclicntinu that Salem ami old Marion are still sound on the great question of perpetuating the triumphs of tin; Republican party. As .fudge Boise closed, three cheers were called for Grant and Wilson and they were given and prolonged with a hearty will" from hundreds ol throats and with a vim that will resound throughout the campaign. The hour being very late, the meeting then ad journed. I )K5 IOCU AT10 ( 'ON V KN V I( N .

Wai tings with his full and excellent dra matic company, opened Reed's OjK-ra House last evening with Shakespeare's great tragedy of "Hamlet.'" There was present, to greet Mr. Waldron, after an absence of seven years or more, a really flue audience for Salem which has the reputation of being not a theater-going town. The play was produced, we think, quite to the sat isfaction of all, and to the delight of Shakesperean readers and critics. Mr. Waldron "s Hamlet is a representation which acknowledged critics pronounce equal to that of Booth's in every essen tial respect while in some points it is superior. It is artistic in action and business, and correct in the reading be yond anything ever offered liefore to an Oregon audience. Mrs. Waldron. Gphelia is a beautiful and pnthoticiier forinance, especially in tlie mad scene where she stirs tlie tenderest naWres of her auditors. Mr. Barry as the grave-digger is iiicouiiarably tlie best artist that has ever appeared in this city or perliaps upon this coast. We may honestly give the entire company a fair meed of commendation for tlieir personations in Hamlet. To-night n'tssc. tne agaoontt, win oe jier- formed.

I have seen enough of war and am a man of peace. I do not yet know the questions pending be tween the two Governments, but nave no doubt all differences can be settled in a friendly way. - It is my opinion that war is the very last extremity to resort to. I would first exhaust all possible measures of diplomacy ; anil even when things look very threaten ing let some tune elapse to restore calmness and then renew negotiations. The rumor that 1 have written a pamphlet on the United States is un true. I have never written a pamph let.

The ''Suggestions" are now lieing submitted to the various railroad com panies, and a resioiise has just been re ceived from Jay Cooke, Esq., of Phil adelphia, who says : "Our Northern Pacific enterprise being controlled by gentlemen who re gard the interest you refer to as of tlie highest importance, tliere will lie no difficulty in carry ing out. under certain restrictions and regulations, all. and more, than you hintat in your publica tion. We have already, as fast as we lay out towns and cities, provided am iily for chinches, schools, .seminaries of learning, etc.. by selecting lots and sites for their erection." We litqie the importance of these suggestions will be appreciated by ev ery railroad company iu possession of these granLs, and that they may lie ful ly carried out It will enhance the value of other lands of the railroads by attracting immigrants antl will Im measurable benefit not simply tlie West, but the present generation. Good Advice. President ol Yale College, gave the following advice to the students ot tliat institution the other day : "Young men. you are the architects of your own fortunes. Rely umiii your own strength of lindy and soul. Take for your star, self-reliance, faith, honesty and industry. Inscrilie on your ban ner ; "Luck is a fool, pluck is a hero." Ifcin'ttake too much advice : keep at your helm and stear your own shii, and remember that "the great ait of commanding is to take a fair share of the work. loii"t practice too much humanity. Think well of yourself. Strikeout. Assume your own iosi tiou. Put Mitatoes in your cart, over a rough rood, and small tines go to the lmttoin. Rise a I Hive the envious ami jealous.
