THOSE MINsTRELs-Last Monday night
some half a dozen vagabonds, under the title
of California Minstrel" gave a .:show"
at the Court House, in this city, and sue
ceededi in making egregiOus asses of them
selves amidst the immense jeers Of the audi
enee. The entertainment ended with a
screaming" farce, played by the audience,
in cutting theropes which supported the cur.
tains, leaving the Hgreen- room" and its con
tents (half-dressed ''minstrela,D exposed to
the gaze Of the appreciative audience. This
part of the "shOw" was only for the stern.
er sex. These gentlemen positively show
but one night at each point.

Mr.. little girl had the WhoOping Cough. Tprc-
cured one bottle of DR.. Henley's Royal Balsam's
lit acted like q charm. The first spoonful I gave
caused her to throw up . quantity Of phlegm, and
she was relieved right away, and slept well. Be-
fore the enc bottle was used up she was well and
hearty. I really think it is q perfect God-send.

The FERRIEs-At the time we write
"Wednesday, 30th the Willamette, opposite
Albany, IS out of It's banks and rising, and
considerable drift-wOod floating down. All
crossing by the ferry boats has ceased for
the present. The upper ferry has some of
its rigging deranged by the high water and
the current is too swift and the drift-wood
too thick to permit the lower ferry to cross.
If there should be no more rains, however,
before We go to press, it is probable both fer
.ries will again be in working order.

copal Church of this place, for some time
past has been in a purturbed condition. The
bone of contention has been the question

It seems the minority were very much offend

they were terribly lacerated and there was
no balm IN Gilead that could heal them
Nothing short of the removal of the primal
cause Of this laceration would ever effect so
great a miracle. So the party in favor ofin.
strumental music signi6ed their willingness
to test the question again. Accordingly,

praise God, not only BY singing, but a harp,

WASHINGTON, Nov. lS.-For several
days there have been constant arrivals
here OF leading Democrats from vii Sec
tons of the country. They came. it was
alleged. to counsel with the President re-
garding proposed changes in certain Of
fees. Ii now transpires that these state
ments were made to cover the special OBJ
jcct of their presence, and to allow the
ilea to remain that no unusual significance
could thereby be attached to the assem-
blage.
The truth, however, has leaked out, and
it will cause commotion among them when
their real dc signs are made public.
Yesterday, 10y previous understanding.
they all quietly met in secret caucus in q
room at one OF the principal hotels, and,
in a session Of several hours duration. dis
| cussed with much ardor, the pro and con
of the most available man for the Democ-
racy rs the candidate for the next Pies-
dency.
The most radical DEMO- rats pressed the
names of uoratio Seymour, of New York.
and George ii. Pendleton, of Ohio, main
tanning that a better fight could be made
with the masses of the people, on account
of their financial views, than with any
| other. But the majority Of those present
| thought it would be better to sacrifice
this scheme if power could be obtained in
another candidate, and hence urged the
| necessity OF nominating military man.
| The names of Gen. Sherman and Gen.
Grant were discussed with great ayidity.
| but on behalf of the former it was stated
that the Republicans would control him.
ID that Gen. Grant having been sounded,
hau expressed his firm determination not
10 acc ept the nomination of the Democrat
ic party under any conditions whatever.
After a full and free discussion, during
which much harmony prevailed. Gen.
Steedman was selected as the choice OF
those pres ent, and John q. Adams OF
Massachusetts. as the proper person for
Vice Presideh'. Other business was trans
acted, but the ATTIRE of which your &C rre-
sponuent could II 1t ascertain. The entire
! affair was intended TO be kept secret. il be-
ing not merely formal but private ex-
preston of the views of those leaders who
desired to know how to arrange and carry
on the coming political fight.

say we cannot possibly, in the nature Of things,

ali talk about the kind Of payment is nonsense,

able to pay at all, that very fact makes our

There is more practical sense in the above
than in a whole column OF discussion about
our legal obligations. The fact j., that soon
the nation will return TO specie payment, and
every dollar Of the government debt will be
paid, when due in specie or its equiyaleut.-
The discussion as to whether the bonds will
be paid in gold is premature, and is started to
