We have news form Portland, Oregon, to the
10th inst. The Legislature met on the 9th and
organized by the election of Luther Elkin,
President of the Senate, and Mr.. 7. Vault,
Speaker of the House. On the 7th the two
Houses met in Joint Convention, and elected
Joseph Lane and Delazon Smith to the United
States Senate. This was done at time when
the Legislature claimed for Oregon the dignity
of Statehood, having heard Of the passage of
the Admission Bill by the Senate, but not OF
the adjournment Of Congress withou: further
action, thus killing the bill. Oregon, to all in
tents and purposes, is now State, and will con-
tinue to claim that character. Mr.. Whitaker,
the State Governor elect, has not yet elected
the Presidents appointee from the Gubernato-
rial chair.
On the occasion of the Senatorial election,
30 votes were cast in the Joint Convention
Lane received As of them, and Smith SO, two
separate elections being held for the two
terms.
Official returns of the late election have been
received from all the counties save Josephine,
and, omitting the reported returns of that
county, the total vote stands 1886 for Grover,
the candidate of the Salem faction Of the Dem
ocracy, and 4,O2l for Kelly, the candidate Of
the Eugene City faction, The total vote does
not exceed 900. The Republicans who voted
united with the Eugene City Democrats; many
did not vote at all, their candidate having

TAxING THE GOVERNMENT TO SUPPORT THE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY.-We see it reported, we do
not care upon what authority, that tax is lew
led upon the the persons employed in the Gov
ernment service, and the payment thereof ex-
acted We are quite ignorant of the authority
upon which this payment is demanded. We
trust, however, that whatever may be thus col
lected may be wisely and economically applied
to advance the interests Of the Democratic par
ty in its great struggle with the Opposition. 1t
is said that from one-quarter to one-half of one
per cent on the salaries of officials is thus ex-
acted. Now, without knowing anything OF the
alleged tax, and with no belief in its existence,
as general thing, we have just this to say on
the subject. If there is person in the public
service who does not voluntarily contribute the
amount, at least, of two dollars and half a
year on each thousand dollars Of his salary to
support the cause Of the Democracy, he should
be dismissed at once, and his place filed by one
who is patriotic and liberal enough to double
the contribution washington Union, August

that if you bring slave labor into competition
with the whites, it degrades the latter. be-
leve the nigger will destroy the white man in
his home If let alone. This is, if you permit
the negro to work and the white man to grow

God that the laborer shall possess the country
where he labors. Human experience justifes
this principle. ! believe there should be no
slave labor where the white man can work.

The Crops

The unusual wet weather, which has pre-
yciled all over the Western States, during
the last three weeks, has made farming, t"
any extent, impossible, and the consequence
is, that very little Corn has been planted as
vet Letters which came to hand during tue
past week, says the Cincinnati F'1ce Cur
rent, speak very gloomily Of the prospects as
regards the Corn crop.
In Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky and this
State, not over one-ffth of crop has, as yet
been planted and the ground Is generally
so wet that NJ attempt can be made TO plant
Ordinarily, Corn planting Is finished at this
date, though in some years, planting has
been done TO some extent about the first OF
June but when planted so late, a late and
favorable season is required to mature it.
Should the weather become dry now, aud
remain SO throughout the remainder OF the
month. no fears Feed be entertained that a
sufficient quantity will not be planted to make
large crop; but the indications up to last
evening did not indicate this. This weather
is also unfavorable for Wheat, making 1t grow
TOO iuxuriant, aud therefore liable to lodge
and to injury by rust Rye is already IN
head and looks promising. Grass is very
luxuriant and the yield OF Hay must be enor-
nous.
AS a general thing, with the exception o
Corn, the prospects of o most abundant har
vest are, SO far, highly favorable. The sup
ply of all kinds of agricultural produce prom
ises to be abundant; and should the weather
become dry now, which, to say the least, i
is not unreasonable to expect, the Corn crol
will not be an exception.
The Fruit, chiefly Peaches and Cherries
have been injured by frosts in some localitie
but on the whole, taking the country togeth
er, the yield will be abundant. In the south
ern States, where the greatest alarm prevail
ed regarding the damage done by frost,
has been found, according to the adyices b
the last mails, that the injury was but par
tial and confined to certain localities, In tn
vicinity of Knoxville, Tennessee where
was thought the fruit had been all killed,
has been ascertained there will be an averag
crop.

New Canadian Steamers.

Four iron steamships arc now building for
the Canadian Ocean Steamship Company.
trading between Quebec and Liverpool. The
new vessels are much larger and finer than
the old. and are said to be splendid speci-
mems of naval architecture. These steamers
are to be named the Nova Scotian, North
Brlton. Hungarian and Bohemian The first
vessel is already launched. and viii make her
first trip about June or July. The line,
with the completion of these vessels. will con-
sist of the following vessels: Nova Scotian,
North Briton. Hungarian, North American,
Indian. Anglo-Saxon and Bohemian
From the Toronto Leader. 10Th.
The Canadian line of ocean steamers can
not now be said to have any competitor but
the Cunard line The Collins line, having
become bankrupt, was sold by the Sheriff and
withdrawn from the ocean, The Bremen
line falls SO far behind the Canadi an line, In
point Of time. that it cannot be regarded as
| competing with either the Cunard or the Ca
! na9ian steamers. In the report OF the Com
