That llio public may know what la projioaed, and what value lie In tho proposal, wo dclro to invoke tho kindly offices of tho Coast Mail in presenting tho advantage, from an edu cational and economic point of view, of adopting theso rcadora. 1. Tiik Educational Advantaoh. A comparison of tho relative merit of tho hook us school readcra cannot well ho made in a newspaper article, where tlio book aro not present to bo compar ed. Without entering into nny such comparison, it will bo recognized by every teacher nnd intelligent patron that tho imjieluH given to tlio study of reading, nnd tlio interest awakened In it by tho Introduction into tlio schools of now reading matter with bright new HluatratloiiB, cannot help being great. Thia now interest and enthusiasm will also communicate itauif to other atudica. No ono doubts theso proHsitiona. Aa licnring on tlio quest Ion oi the adapta tion of tho Independent Headers to pre sent muthoda of instruction it should bo stated, also, that tho publishers of Hint aerie huvo isaucd an entirely now scries within a year, based on methods quito opposite to thoso which obtain in tho old hooka, Tho inference cannot bo avoidod that tlio old scries has lost tho confidence of tho great body of lenclicra. 2. Tiik Financial Gain. This will appear (1) in tlio chcacr retail price of tlio Bancroft aorica after the books are onco introduced. BANCROFT. I'irit Render $ Second Krader . , 'llilrd Reader.... Fourth Render,,, Fifth Reader .... INDF.I'ENDENT. First Reader.... $ .25 Second Render,. .50 Third Reader... .75 Fourth Render,. 1.00 Fifth Reader.... 1.25 Total $2.75 I Totnl.. $3.75 Hy.a comparison of retail pricca of Ilancroft'B Headers with tlioso now in use it will bo seen that Bancroft's aro $1.00 cheaper per sot of 5 booka, or 20 ccnta per conv, or G? iHjr cent. Thia ia well worth aaving. Tlio financial gain will also appear (2) in tlio gain nt tho timo of exchange. At thia point cornea in the objector and a.iya : "Dut what aro wo going to do with our old book8. We can't afford to throw them all away and get new ones." Tho publialiera were prepared for thia objection, because it ia not a now one Hut thoy do not meet it aa it haa been met by other publishers on former oc- casiona, heedless of tlio interests mid wialics of tho public. On tho contrary tho public interest haa been conaulted aa well aa tho publisher's interest, and tlio objection is gcnoroualy met by a proiKition which not only calla for no aacrifico of any reader now in uso, but, on tho contrary, when any such reader can bo no Ioniser used by its owner it will bo accepted in 34 payment of tho book noxt required. Tho " hardships which tho public haa heretofore experi enced in a chango, arises from tlio fol lowing facta: 1st. That only tho old render of a par ticular grade waa , received for a now reader of tho same trade : that ia, a Firat Reader for a Firat Header, a Sec ond Header for a Second Header, etc. 2d. That at tho ond of three months thla mild extortion waa replaced by a prompt advance to full pricea for-all books purchaaed, tho old books remain ing in tho hands of tho pupil, counting for absolutely nothing. Bancroft & Co. present no forcing process of this kiud. Their proposition differs from tho abovo in both particu lars. 1 'lBt.

A. L, IJANcnOFT & Co. JEFF DAVIS' CONSPIRACY. General Sherman Makes Important Declarations Touching- the Aims of the Rebel Leaders. St. Louis, Oct, 30. Frank Blair Poit, G. A. It,, had a houso warming last night at which General Sherman waa present. In the course of a brief Hpeccit the gen eral said : "Referring to tho late war, it waa not aa waa generally understood a wur of accession from tlio United States, but a conspiracy, I havo been behind tho aceno," aaid lie, "nnd I have seen letters that few others have scon, nnd havo heard conversations that cannot bo repeated, and I toll you that Jeff Davis never waa a secessionist. Ho did not euro for separation from the United Statca. Ilia object waa to get a fulcrum from which to operate against tho northern .states, nnd if ho had suc ceeded ho would to-day Iks the master spirit of the continent, and you would bo slaves. I have aeon a letter from Jefferson Davis to n man whose name I cannot mention, because lie is a Unit ed States senator. I know Davis' writing, and saw his signature, and in that letter ho said ho would turn Lee's army against any stato that might at tempt to secede from tho southern con federacy." Aa hia statements were rather extra ordinary, a rejiorter sought the general to-day to ascertain Ida atudy, and read ily explained tlio remarks: "Tho men who instigated tho war were consplra- tors, mid should havo been shot on the spot. Jeff Davia was in the emphw of government, and when he nought to destroy it lie was a conspirator. 1 saw a letter dated 'Senato Cham!er, United States of America,' and signed by two senators, Slidcll and Benjamin, order ing tlio governor of Louisiana to seize tlio arsenals. Waa thia not conspiracy of tlio moat fearful nature? Jeff Davia Bought to establish a government ot southern gentlemen who would rule the masses. Ilia desiro was for a limit ed franchise, limited to land owners. Tho poor white, in Ida estimation, should bo crossed witli the negro. Had ho succeeded in his conspiracy, he would have carried this out in the south, and then imposed it on the northern states. Ho wanted to totally destroy this government, and from Its ruins build up a southern plutocracy. Thia I know, that when onco tho southern states had formed a confederation he determined Unit thoy sliould not sccodc. His idea was not accession. It was des truction. The southern states rebelled ono by ono and then confederated. Davis bent hia energies to prevent their secession, and was willing to destroy ovary 0110 of them before it could he ac complished. I have seen a letter which lip wrote to tho governor of ono of the slates threatening that he would turn Leo's nrmy upon it if it should attempt to sccodo from tho confederacy. From this it is evident bo 'did not believe in aoccssioii, but that he, wanted U10 de struction of tho1 United States go Ver mont and a dominant aputhorn confed eracy. Itis.wpU fqryou,.it is well for mo, that ho did not' succeed, as it meant our disfranchisement. Ilia attempt was n uaao conspiracy, for wiucii no uu served death." Prevailing Political Excitement. lOregonian, Nov. 7, Tlmt business in every channel of trade has received a set-back in thla city, as well tva elsewhere, by reason of tho presidential election, which may still bq considered in doubt, tho moat casual observer now making a trip across the country from ocean to ocean could not fail to notice On overy hand in this city thoro !b no ono who haa not timo enough to dak overy friend bo meets, "What's tho latest?" or, "How's Now York?" or, ''Which id it, Blaine or Clovoland?"

Tho quietness of tho election was unbroken until thla afternoon nlwut 4 o'clock in tho Eighth ward, hv tho refusal of byalandcra nt tho iolls, many of whom were armed with clubs, to permit colored men to vote Tho voters tliua disfranchised went to tho United States marahal for advice, and thia cavo rleo to numerous rumors that tho ncgroea were going to organize and, witii a force of deputy marshal, march in a body to cast tlieir votea. Thia brought a crowd to tlio polla, and tho excitement was increased by .patrol wagons hastening to tho scene Tlio negroes did not organize and at tempt to vote in a body, and tlio crowd gradually melted away. Soon after this, at other precincts in the eame ward, a well known citizen, John D, Caldwell, accompanied a colored man to tho polls to vote Ilia vole waa chal lenged; and the judges were about to examine tho man, under oath, when bystanders forcibly ejected the colored man from tho place A mob pursued him, and caught nnd beat him, until a half a dozen or moro policemen suc ceeded in extricating him from their hands. Soon after this a challenged white voter was knocked down by tho samo lawless bystanders. Tho situation at both precincts in this ward, from this timo till the polls closed, waa threatening, and crowds lined tho atrecta in tlio vicinity expecting a dis turbance In tho Eighteenth ward this afternoon Peter Kelly stabbed seriously, if not fatally, Policeman Honoyman, on duty at tho polla. The provocation was that Honeyman had struck Kelly's brother earlier in tho day. Political Color Blindness.
