Butler said yesterday, in referring to Beeclier's statement that if every man in Netr York state who has brok en the seventh commandment voted for Cleveland he would be elected by 200,000 majerity: "It seems hardly possible that snch language could be used by any man in a public speech, or by any man who could be received in decent so ciety, much less in a Christian pul pit. Is it possible that there are 200,000 voters in this state who have commit ted adultery? Nay, many more, for 200.000 are represented simply as a majority over those who might be disposed lo vote the other ticket "Well, I suppose Beecher must be cor rect in his calculation, as figures are given with deliberation. As an ex pert in such matters, Beecher must know better than L And is this the result of his teachings and of the teachings of ministers of tho gospel all -over the state who have been as sociated with him? Is this the state of New York, or ib it the territory of Utah? I trust that a president elect ed by such men as Beecher refers to will not disturb the Mormons, as their conduct is at least more decent than that of the 200,000 disciples of Beecher." BIiAINE IX "NEW YORK. New York, Oct. 29. Tho Mail and Express prints an elaborate re view of- New York state politics, showing that Blaine will carry the state by a plurality of from 30,000 to 40,000. -The full vote of the state will be 1,300,000, according to tho ra tio of increase prevalent for twenty years past. Butler's vote is placed at 45,000, which tho Bopublicans say will bo drawn exclusively from a Democratic source, 12,000 votes be ing accorded him in this city. The JIail and Express is certain that tho prohibition vote will not hold to gether until election day. It goes on to say that Tammany Hall is in des petate straits and must elect Grant mayor, which means that trading and swapping of every sort will be resort ed to, Cleveland being knifed with out mercy. The Mail and Express is prompted to speak "by card" of John Kelly's deal with the Eepubli cans. IK CHICAGO. New York, Oct 29. -Tho World's Chicago specials cay: Postmaster Palmer saw fit to withdraw tho letter carriers from the public service the day Blaine was here, and send them into tho ranks to carry torches. It now appears that there are complaints by prominent Democrats that their mail is being tampered with. The matter thus far has been kept secret It has just leaked out that the Re publican torchlight parade Saturday night was laid out by military men in such a way that a good Bharo went over tho route twice, so that what professed to be nearly 20,000, by ac tual count was only a little over 11, 000. Of these a large number, in cluding some Democrats, were hired at S3 each. Deputy marshals are now being ap pointed by Marshal Jones, to be arm ed with bull-dog revolvers, and an effort is being made to reproduce the scenes in Cincinnati. It is known that these revolvers are already in store, ready for use in November. The marshal said to-day: "If the Democrats keep this thing up, we shall have war in Chicago. The Democrats are doing this. They have got ihe citizens into a condition of nervous excitement that needs only a little breeze to fan it into a flame. This is criminally outrageous. With out knowing my intsntions, they have imputed to mo motives which I have never entertained. If there is trouble on election day tho Democrats will be to blame." A BITTER DENUNCIATION. New York, Oct 29 The bitterness engendered by this campaign is shown by the following in the Sun: Henry Ward Beecher's letter to Joy, which we publish elsewhere, is a won derful production to come from such a source. This wretched reprobate, who seduced his friend's wife and perjured himself, over and over, pre sumes to accuse another Qf falsehood and to threaten him with hell-fire in a way that might make Satan smile. No more shameless villain than Beecher was over seen.'' CALIFORNIA CIiAISIED BY A DEMOCRAT. New York, Oct 29. A Herald editorial says: A correspondent who claims to be well informed writes to us from San Francisco that, having made a political tour of California, he feels confident that tho state will go for Cleveland by a majority run ning from 3,000 to 7,000. He estimates the number of anti-Blaine Republic ans at 5,000, and adds that the Bepub lican revolt against Blaine in the state is increasing, and that the Dem ocrats are harmonious and solid. BETTING IN NEW VORK. New York, Oct 29. The Sun says: Blaine has the call of betting, which was very active yesterdays Heavy bets were made by brokers in Wall street One was $10,000 to $8, 000 that Blaine would be elected, and another was S4,000 to S2.800. Odds on Blaine to carry the general elec tion vary at betting places from S100 to S80 to S100 to S70. On New York state the odds are S100 to S90 on Cleveland, on Indiana $100 to $80 on Blaine, and on New Jersey $100 to $70 on Cleveland. On the mayoraltv the odds are S500to$400 on Grant against the field, and $100 even that Grant will be elected by more than 500 majority. - - m Chicago. Oct 9A Gmi. AKanirvm M. West says: Out of the strife of paifcjr uer ibauea, wuicn, save tne tariff, should have no further consid eration in this age, he expects to see a civil war burst forth within the next quarter of a century. He thinks the countrv rite for revolution, nnd that the ultimate form of society will bo an aristocracy or an oligarchy. He has no earthly ides that ho will be chosen vice president, and haiannnol ly indifferent as to the outcome of the eieu umj.. . OUR EXrORTSAND IMPORTS. Washington, Oct 29. Nimmo, chief of the bureau of statistics, in his annual report of the foreign com merce of the United States for the past year, on the subject of commer cial and transportation interests of tho Pacific ccast says: "Tho total value of the exports of merchandise from, and imports of merchandise into California, Oregon and Washing ton territory during the vear, was SS3,5&i,874; tho value of ex'ports was S4G.385.284, and of imports $37,179, 530. The total value of domestic ex ports from the Pacific coast to for eign countries amounted during the year to $45,051,927, of which $31,622, 028, or 79 1-19 per cent, consisted of brcadstufis. The value of the ex ports of wheat and wheat-flour alone amounted to S30,909,31L?' The great change which has taken place in tne inuustnai ana commer cial interests of the Pacific coast is clearly indicated by the fact that the value of the wheat crop of that sec tion during the season of 1882 amount ed to $44,700,000, whereas the value of precious metals produced by min ing operations in the same section of country amounted to only $17,750, 000. OUR TRADE WITH EUROPE. It appears that the foreign com merce of California, Oregon and Washington territory is chiefly with tho countries of Europe. In that trade the value of exports of mer chandise was SG1,225,433, and the value of the imports of merchandise was only $5,156,311. The wheatjf rade of the Pacific coast constitutes tho most marked feature of the commerce of that section of tho country. The total exports of wheat, including wheat flour, from California, Oregon and Washington territory, amounted during the year just ended to 20.05S, 644 bushels, of which 24,447,363 bush els were exported from ports of Cali fornia, 5,334,303 bushels from ports of Oregon, and 226,963 bushels from ports of Washington territory. Ex ports of wheat, including wheat flour to Europe, amounted to 26,490,710 bushels, and constituted 88.13 per cent of the total exports of wheat from the Pacific coast. This wheat trade with Europe gives employment each year to a fleet of about 400 sail ing vessels, which pursue tho routo around Capo Horn. Tho distance from San Francisco to Liverpool by tint route is about 16,000 miles, and the average time of passage of sailing vessels is a little more than four months. TnE tear's record. During the year ended Juno 30, 1833, there wero 440 ships cleared from Pacific coast ports to Europe, of which 110 sailed under the Amer ican flag and 330 under foreign flags; and during the year ended June 30, 1884, there were 333 ships cleared, of which 95 were under tho American flag and 293 under foreign flags. The question as to tho practicability of securing some shorter and cheaper route of transportation to the grain markets of Europe has for years been one of absorbing interest to the peo ple of the Pacific coast They have from the beginning taken a deep in terest in various projects which have been advocated for the construction of a ship canal across the isthmus which connects North and Sonth America, and also in the proposition to construct a ship railroad across tho isthmus of Tehauntepec. The Proposed O. It. &. X. Lease. Philadelphia, Oct 29. The Press New York special says: Tho Union Pacific is now moro likely to get con trol of the O. B. & N. lines than the Northern Pacific Several prominent financiers declares that tho Northern Pacifio has lost all chances of secur ing tho lease, on any terms, in conse quence of its recent undecided course. The relations of Jay Gould, Cyrus W. Field and others "to the Transconti nent, which holds a majority of tho stock, is such that they command the situation, and are supposed to have in their favor the influence of Elijah Smith, president of both companies. Many O. B. & N. stockholders still in cline to the Northern Pacific lease as securing their best interests, believing that all tho ex-Villard roads should be closely connected. Thoy aro afraid of Gould and his schemes, particular ly for tho investment of stock. The Oregon Pacific. Two gentlemen, one of whom was a former resident of this city, arrived in Salem yesterday from Yaquina. They have worked on the railroad be tween Corvallis and Yaquina for two and a half months. They express great disaffection among iho work men on the road. From their re ports, the company must either hard up for capital or a set of thieves. They could only get about 80 per cent of tho amount due them, and thought they were in luck, as often no more than 60 per cent can be ob tained for tho company's "paper." Last week seventy-five carpenters quit in one day. Not allowing for any further decrease of the working force, these gentlemen think the rail road cannot be completed before Jan nary 1, 1835.
