He has disposed of the only obstacle that stood between the suffering south and the full enjoyment of her constitutional liberties. He has not only carried republicans with him, but I think he has the cordial support of seventy-five per cent, of his party. Many who were doubtful at first now see the time was ripe for a full restoration of every southern state to self-government under the constitution. The history of the states since the troops were removed is one of the very best reasons why republicans and demo crats should approve Hayes' policy on this subject." The London Spectator in a re markable article shows practically that England is on the road to a dreary condition, and looks fortvard to the time when her factories will close one by one; iron and coal mines will be shut up like the tin mines of Cornwall, fires in forges will bo blown out, the ships will be laid to rot and so forth. The only suggested remedy is the dis covery of some new industry to replace those already waning. The writer who Is certified as one of the shrewdest and ablest men of the day, speculating upon the social and political future, says: taxation will be light, for the debt, the cause, will be gone, shaken oli as bcj'Ond the new means; the -throne will be gone :is too expensive and useless, and the country, organized like Switzerland, will be thinly peo pled by a race with the hereditary habits of education, but few desire or opportunity of excitement. The in herent conservatism of the people will have its fullest scoxe, the ambitious and the energetic will go elsewhere, there will be nothing to do here. ....MrtfCni sifian. jpusinw cimi iwcvu. ua wecknft the m.

We under stand that Mrs. W. is greatly pleased with what is to be seen at Astoria, and as the lady wields a ready a graceful pen perhaps our enterprising little city will receive some notice in the contributions of Mrs. W.Jo other journals. Democratic News. Democrats who have been compelled to take the Orego nian "for the dispatches,' can now get eqally as much news, equally as fresh news, and a considerable more demo cratic news, by taking the Standard. It is no longer necessary for democrats in Oregon to take the Oregonian upon the plea that they cannot obtain "the news' elsewhere. Observed. The Jewish holy day. Bosh Hbs7iowz, was suitably observed by our Hebrew fellow citizens on the Sth and 9th. Monday, September 17th, will be their day of atonement (Yom Kippur). Tiicse days ai e al ways rigidly observed by the Hebrews every wTiere, and we suppose all their business houses in this city will be closed on that day. Persons interested Avill remember this and act accordingly. Personal A few days ago we had the pleasure of meeting with Mr. E. L. Wales of Elmira, X. Y., who is consid erable of a boot and shoe and leather man at home. Mr. W. visits Oregon tor the purpose of looking up such interests liere. We hope he will finally conclude to come here, and to be successful we venture to say he should locate in Asto ria. Here the tannin grows in endless quantity, here the hides come to be marketed, and here the dealers will come in time to purchase, the made up articles. The Cax Cax. deferring to this ex hibition the Oregonian says: tWe are assured that all who have any regard lor morality and decency will be grati fied to learn of the managers tribula tions. Portland is not in need of any such class of amusements. We are credibly informed that the show is a regular 'fraud ami 'dead give away.' They have only two women instead of eight or ten as adveilised. and give a variety entertainment which has none of the broad features the public would nat urally inter from the character of the posters. The sooner the city is rid of such catch penny impositions the better. The Sunday Welcome of the 2d has this: l,A bit of sensation was created this week by the announcement of a 'Can Can" performance in our city, but thanks to ail those having control of the public halls in Portland, the unscrup lous wretches, who meditated to dupe and injure the people of this city, have been left without any place to open out their performance. They appeared in Salem last week, and the only pity is that the big burdensome piece of human ity, the manager, who alllicts the earth, together with his miserable followers, were not kept in the capital and put to good use making briciv." The follow ing notice of them, from the Salem Mercury, is sufficient to show what a fraud it is : ''Those persons who went 'to the Opera House last evening, expect ing to see the Can Can, or something else wonderful, only saw a dull, insipid and indifferent negro minstrel .show. To say that they all came away dis gusted and bilked, but fainty expresses the facts. CITY ITEMS. .

Santa Clara, California, ). September 1, 1877. Wednesday, August 29th we left Astoria on the good ship City of Ches ter, for San Francisco on a tour of ob servation and pleasure. Our company cansisted of the writer, Mr. Harry Thompson, Mrs. C. Lienenwebsr and three children. We left the Astoria dock at 5 o'clock p. m., about thirty minutes in advance of the Orizaba. We had secured pleasantly situated rooms, though rather small for. the convenience of three persons; yet, on account of the mildness of the weather j the voyage was a pleasant one. Every thing about the ship seemed to be in perfect order, officers pleasant and watchful, making the passengers feel quite at home. Yery little sea sick ness was experienced by any of the passengers, and the bountiful supply of provisions upon the tables was swept off in haste. Seldom is old ocean so quiet as on this trip, and I was truly thankful for my stomach sake. The Orizaba was seven miles astern when leaving the river, but on Thurs day morning she was about that dis tance ahead. The day was bright which gave us a fair view of the coast as we passed along; about noon a fresh breeze sprung up from the northwest, when all sails were spread, and we made about twelve knots an hour and gained somewhat upon the opposition. All day on Friday we were shrouded by a dense fog, and we saw nothing more but fog and water, until we were entering the Golden Gate, at three o'clock Saturday morning, excepting a large school of porpoises which played around our ship for fifteen or twenty minutes. The voyage was rather mo notonous. One little circumstance occurred, which troubled my friend Harry a little On Thursday morning as he emerged from his state room, I ob served that he had his coat buttoned quite closely about his neck, and on i miking inquiry if he was troubled with sore throat or stiff neck; he re plied, his troubles were of a different nature; some person had borrowed his vest, and had not returned it, conse quently he was thus buttoned up. We had various surmises how that vest got out of the room, but finally concluded that some unknown person had during the night, thrust his arm through the open .window.and the gar ment through magic or;ne otner in fluence had fastened upon his hand and was thus carried away; which con clusion proved to be a correct one. We reported the circumstance to the mate, who is a very polite and gentle manly man, and the next morning be fore the garment was needed he brought it to the room. It was found in the steerage, but no one claimed it. Other articles were stolen on the ship, showing that low rates of fare puts m circulation the lowest order of human beings. At six o'clock our ship was fast at the San Francisco dock, and as we had concluded to proceed immediately on to our old friend, Hev. Lewis Thomp son, at Santa Clam, we had only time to get to the depot and our morning meal and we were off at a rapid rate, arriving here at lOjjr o'clock a. m., forty-seven miles from San Francisco. Our frifcnd gave us a joyful reception. All well. 'P. Local aud Domestic. We are sorry to learn that young Waters failed to pass examination at West Point on the 28th ult. A few days since Perry Osburn of Salem prairie, cut in ten hours with a harvester 14i acres of spring wheat, using three horses. The binding was all done by Henry Caplinger and James Mothorn. The crop was an average one for this season. Puget sound legic: "H Portland prospers, Astoria prospers; but if Portland plays second fiddle to Taco ma, Tacoma prospers and Astoria dies. The sound is entitled to a railroad and it must have one, from Portland; but it cannot take the Columbia river." The Bee says: "A few days ago we were compelled to remark the in justice done by Corbett and Heid of the board of trade, and immediately the former's personal organ made a lot of excuses for the blockhead com nierciatist who signs the reports which a foreigner prepares, and referred to him to ascertain 'whether Mr. Corbelc was a candidate for the senate,' just as though any one had an idea thai he could be elected." We are right in the midst of our harvest in th's country, says Win. H. Hales, writing from Weston, Umatilla county. I stood in one place on ray farm one day la3fc week and could count seven threshers running and eleven headers, all within three miles of each other. !Now how is that "for high" for a stock raising country? But we intend Umatilla county to cany the banner for tl :s harvest in number of bushels of grain per acre. Crops are very good here. We have just finished threshing a seven acre piece of oats for Mr. F. J. Galliher, which turned out 80 bushels per acre. There is plenty of wheat here that will yield 50 to GO bushels per acre. Mr. Jemi- son threshed off of 17 acres 102G bush els of wheat, over GO bushels per acre. The crops here will average 30 to 4.0 bushels per acre. Henry Sampson has presented the editor of the Courier with a genu ine curiosity in the shape of an Indian pipe which may be a thousand jrears old for all we know to to the contrary. It was found in the grave of an Indian in Tillamook county. The canoe in which it was found and in which the Indian had been buried, had decayed and rotted entirely away, giving evi dence that the pipe had been made mairy years ago. The pipe is made of slate rock and is of peculiar design. On the bowl is carved the face of a man. A man is lying on his back on the stem, with a ferocious looking ani mal standing over him, having one hand of the man in its monstrous jaws. The work shows that it was done with a patient hand and an inge nious mind. The pipe and mountings are well polished and do credifto some of the modern sculptors. Eighteen thousand persons emigrated in 1S76 from the Eastern and Western States to Oregon. -The sloop Magnet one of the finest passenger boats on the bay, under command of Capt. John K.

Complaining. The Portland Sun da' Welcome says: "Two weeks since we published the greater part of tho annual report Of the President and Secretary of the Board of Trade, taken from proof sheets. We have now before U3 a printed copy of it, in pam phlet form, in which we find a large amount of statistical matter, most of which has evidently been copied from reports collated by the Commercial Reporter, though Ave fail to find one line of credit given to that journal. This ma y be an oversight on the part of the compilers, but it "3 one which not only places them in a falsi posi tion, in gaining then credit to which they are not entitled, but it is an in justice to those who have nothing bus their labor for their pains. " Bro. Far rish do not for pity sake complain let the. Board of Trade "compilers" have all the credit there is to be de rived from tfie publication of such a report as that one is. The report that Michael O'Laugh lin of French prairie, who was sup posed to be dead and buried, w:is in Illinois alive and well is denied by Thomas Fitzgerald, who lives near Gervais, 'and says that O'Laughlin died at his house on the 21st of March and was buried at St. Paul on ike 23d of that month.
