Last year freight was delivered at the Al
bany wharf, from Portland, for four dol
lars pOr ton by Capt. Ankney; and we
are told he stated he made money, while
running as opposition.
We have talked with several Albany
merchants on this question of freights -
They all agree that Linn county alone an.
nually pays to the Peoples Transportation
Company, for freight, at least One Hun.
dred Thousand Dollars. Some put it as
high as S150,000. Now, if it be true
that freight from Portland here pays well
at $4 per ton, it is selfeyident that the
people Of Linn county pay from seventy
five to One Hundred Thousand Dollars
more, annually, for freight, than they
should pay, or than they would pay il
there were any opposition In other
words, the Peoples Transportation Com
pany have taken ono-balf or two-tbiEds
more blood from the people of Linn coun.
ty than they should have done. We dc
not doubt that the time will come, aud
that before long, when freight will be de-
livered here for 80, so and $500 per ton
and money will be made even at these 6g.

The DEMOCRATIC PARTY The
Journal Of Commerce, alluding to the
Radical cry that the Democratic party is
dead, says: at has existed through tho
last six years, and has pollcd just about
one.half of the entire vote of the coun.
try. 1t has been welded together more
firmly and compactly than ever before in
all its history. If any one doubts this,
lot him study the facts and look at the
remarkable spectacle presented from year
to year by this party, marching steadily
to the polls in solid phalanx, met by every
sort OF opposition, under a tempest of Oh
loquy, threatened with the direst punish
ments, but unainchipg for all that, earn
ing fairly its old name, 'unterrifed,' and
voting steadily the half Of all the votes
in the country within small fraction
This is fact to be taken into account in
these days"

CHRIsTLY CoUNsEL.-The New York
Independent processes to be religious
paper. Here is bit Of pious advice it
lately gave;
Now is the time to shape the illustrious
issue. These crisp, fresh, breezy, autumn
nal days make work pleasure and poll
tics a pastime. Vacation ends the cam
paign begins. Every minister who has a
loyal heart IL his heart in his breast ought
to be the frat voice in his parish TO speak
for the Fall elections. Every Republican
lawyer ought straightway to make an un-
answcrable brief for at least one good ar
gument with the people before the day Of
decision. Every public spirited citizen
will now have sixty or ninety days where
in he may grandly serve his country by
adding his voice to the thunder roll Of re-
buke that is to rattle the window. panes
of the White House. Circulate tracts,
documents, newspaper aud speeches ;
wherever you read good word, fitly spok:
en-, cut 1t out and give it to some hcsitat-
ing friend.

There are Radical authorities-high
authorities-that are frank and honest
enough to admit the true aim of their
party. The New York Independent"
says;
"No leading Republican in Congress
means to admit the ten waiting States sim
ply on the adoption of the Constitutional
Amendment, These States are to be ad-
mitted on no conditions short of the
equal political rights of their loyal citi-
zens without distinction of race. A re-
construction of the Union on any other
basis would be national dishonor. Un-
til the rebel States can come back on this
basis, they shall not come bach at aHp

THE WRONG LADY.-A Boston Gen
tleman, whose lady was suffering from a
cold, got up at midnight and went below
to get mustard poultlce. In his agita-
ton he mistook the room on his return,
and went into one where there was light
burning as dimly as that he left-a room
altogether similar, and apparently his
wife in bed fast asleep. He applied the
mustard poultice to her chest, and sat
quietly awaiting at the bedside till it be-
gan to draw. 1t did draw: but it drew
an infurlated scream from the young lady
who had been the subject of his uncon-
scious solicitude. At the sound of the
unaccustomed voice, the nature of the ac,
cident which had befallen him and his
petient was at once visible, and he rush
ed headlong from the arms mqstarded
woman into the arms of his own, Both
parties told their story the next day, and
had to retire amid the laughter of all the
occupants.

"SPoT HIM"-In September, 1864,
says the Dayton Journal, Andrew John
son made campaign speech in Nashville,
in which he said
"Whensver you find man anywhere
prating about the Constitution Of the
United States, ,pot htm-he's traitor ~
There is humble invidual' wander.
ing about the country just now, declaring
that he "has held all the Offices from AL
derman to President" and who is inviting
the people to 4spot him !"
The foregoing, says the Dayton EN-
pire, is a deliberate fabrication. Andrew
johnson never said anything of the kind.
1t was Benjamin L. Wade who made the
remark in substance. 1t was not made in
September, 1864, nor at any time in
1864 but in the IT, 8. Senate, in April,
1862. The attempt to father the rawlings
of old Wade on johnson is q little toe

respondenee ip the case of surratt, ia vol
luminous. The prisoner was trrced from
Montreal, Quebec, Liverpool, and Rome
to Alexandria. Surratt states that the
plan was to abduct Lincoln, and he con-
septed, but Booth urged hiro 70 change
his plans. Surratt was on his way to do
so from Canada, but at St. Adams he
heard Of the assassnation While at
Rome, Surratt acknowledged paTticipat-
ing in the crime. and declared Davis was
privy to it. The informant in the case
was formerly schooImaster in Maryland.
He desired that his name should not be
made known 50 as to endapger his life.

fairs of both Senate and House entire, but
only o portion has been published. 1t
appears, however, from Bigelow's dis
patches, that he was informed by the
MARQUIS dc Monster, on the 18th Of Oc-
tober that his Majesty desired to with
draw the troops from Mexico as practi-
cable, without reference to the period
fixed if shorter time would suffice and
on the same day Bigelow was informed
by Perrior, of the Mexicap line of Steam
ships, that the contract had been finally
signed to bring the French troops home
in March. Bigelow adds, / have reason
to think Perrior was instructed to make
his communication to me. Minister
CampbelPs instructions were written Oc-
tober goth and he sailed November 9th.
His instructions are lengthy; he is in
formed that our Government puts faith
in the French promise for the withdrawal
Of the troops, and he, Campbell, will find
a portion of the French army already
gone, thus producing a crisis. At this
time it was expected that Gen. Grant
would accompany Campbell, but as that
proved 10 be incouvenient, Sherman was
gubgtituted October 30.

WASHINGTON, December IA, 1865.
Aner several amendments to the negro
suffrage scheme for this District were de.
bated and defeated In the House to-day, In
the Senate the final vote on the bill was
reached, and, in accordance with what every
one knew would be the fact, 1t passed. The
nays are not sufficient in number to sus-
tain the veto, which it is admitted on all
sides will follow its adoption in the House.
So the measure may be looked at as GER
tain to be inaugurated at the next munich
pal election. Upon the announcement of
the vote a general burst Of applause came
from the large number of negroes who
have been watching its progress from the
galleries for some days past. They are all
determined to vote, and will gather in full
force for the exercise of the voting priyi-
lege.
The clerks in the various Departments
are considerably exercised because no ac-
ton has yet been taken by Congress to-
wards increasing their salaries. The heads
of bureaus and several of the secretaries
have urgently recommended this as neces-
sary TO the retention Of good clerks in the
Departments, as well as called for by the
high prices Of living in this city. 1t is not
improbable that the consideration of the
bill will be delayed until the latter end OF
the session. The pressure in favor of the
adoption of some measure of this kind is
very strong, and it is also hoped that addi-
tional back pay will be allowed.
Congress will take the usual Christmas
holidays, and Washington will be conSide-
rably reduced in its population during that
term. Some of the members of both Houses
propose tours South, in order to test the
feeling among the people, and make capt.
tai for further Buncombe speech-making.
The absurd stories connected, with the
arrest of John Surratt, and the contempt
BILE yarn about hie having come direct
from the Cabinet of the Confederate Gov
eminent at Richmond with the plot to as
sassinate President Lincoln, are looked
upon as simply ridiculous. Even the Radi-
Gals, who would be glad to believe that
such was so, are compelled to admit its
fo~olishness.
The weather here has turned quite cold,
and to-day there is every appearance of a
coming Snow-Storm. TIMoN.
