LEBANON County Division Dead. The lower bouse favored Templeton'a bill to divide Linn county in accord ance with the wiahea of the Browns ville people, but the senate alwaya a more conservative body, killed tbe bill. This leaves old Linn all ber territory and avoids the financial calamity that would inevitably follow such a divi sionto tbe good people ofBrownsyille. We don't want to loose them. They are good, law-abiding citizens. We will forgive them for their attempt to secede and will pardon tbe leaders without the formality of an oath of allegiance. There is a sentiment now existing to change the county seat to some more central and convenient point. As Leb anon is that point, we will just wait and let the honor come to ua unaougbt, aa we have alwaya endeavored to im press upon the public our worth, not by loud talk, but by our merits.
