WASHINGTON, July 3l.-Binckley, late
Assistant Attorney General, is appointed
Solicitor of the Internal Revenue Bureau.
The Russian Minister has received draft

CHlcAGo, July 31.-The Agricultural De-
partment issued o report on the condition of
the crops in July. The most remarkable
fact in connection with the corn crop is the
great increase, on an average, in the South,
the difference since last year being over two
and q half million acres. The increase
throughout tho United States amounts to
thirty.six million acres. The condition of
wheat is about average, except in Vermont,
Connecticut and the Southern States. Cot
ton shows an average reduction of ten per
cent, but the crops are reported in splendid
condition with o prospect of the finest yield
for years.
Rice, oats and barley promise abundant
crops. Potatoes are unusually good. Frnit
is variable. Apples. and peaches are less
promising than usuel.

who Let tho Sick soldiers Perfshe

The truth is coming out at last !;
Grant, the great military humbug of
the 10Th century, is now being shown
up in all his hidcous inhumanity, hor-
rid moral deformity, and questionable
courage. He dared not fight the enc
my except at the odds of three to one.
With 1885, 900 men, against Lee with
$4,000, he wrote Butler :-"Send no
more men in exchange for our sick
prisoners in the encmy's hands. Ey'
cry man released becomes an active
soldier against US. If we commence
q system of exchange we shall have
to fight on till the whole South is ex-
terminated. 1t is hard on our men in
the Southern prisons, but it is human
ity to those left in our ranks to fight
our battles"
Now we are coming at. the facts
The old onc-cycd wretch at Washing
ton who quarrcled with his superior
is "telling on him" Is Grant cow
ard, as well as military charlatan,
and inhuman butcher? lie evidently
dared not meet Lee with less than
three times his force. Was it that he
feared Lees superior generalship, or
did he doubt his own nerve? Grant
lost six men TO Lees one man. The
records show the slaughter of III 900
men under Grant to $4,000 under
Lee. So much for generalship. Was
the military talent of Grant shown
in this pile of mangled humanity {?
Was it anything short of brutality Of
the lowest kind to waste human life
and accomplishments The death
of one of Lees soldiers by the sacrifice

military science?
Where is the sentiment which fills
the soul of every true soldier and
makes his heart ache at the terrible
havoc of war? Napoleon wept on
the plains Of Austerlitz at the sight
of vast heaps of his brave comrades,
slain in that conflict. Did any NOR
tai man ever hear Grant utter a re-
gret at the cost of saving himself
from ignominious defeat? Never

THE RAILROAD.

In our last number we incidentally
stated that we were tempted to be-
lieve that the East side Rail Road is
a humbug. Since then we have had
proof furnished us sufficient to con-
vince us that the Oregon Central Rail
Road, East side, is any thing but a
humbug; that it is veritable reali-
ty.
We perhaps spoke rather hastily
last week; but not without some
good grounds It is not necessary
for us, however, now to cnumerate
them. We are particularly sensitive
on this subject, because we had told
the public that we had full faith that
the road would be built; that the
Company were fully able to build it /;
and that they knew no such word as
fail j; and we do not wish to be made
IN instrument TO humbug the public.
When we know of q certainty that
we have been deceived, we shall has
ten to undeceive the people. But, as
we have already said, we now have
good grounds for saying that the road
will soon be constructed. Vigorous
operations will soon be commenced
and prosecuted until the Road shall
be completed; and our citizens will
soon have an opportunity to exhibit
their faith by their works in behalf
of the Road. Every one who can,
should aid it all in his power. We
intend to keep our readers posted on
this question.

CHINESE IMMIGRATION.

The Pacific coast is already well
filled up with the Chinese dirty,
heathenish, rat-eating people. Vast
numbers more of them are on their
way to Oregon-so it is stated-di-
rect from China. If they are permit
ted to live here they will compete
with our white population, and thus
degrade and lower white labor. What
should be done? We advise that the
Legislature, which convencs next
month, pass Law taxing each one
so high that it will be impossible
for them to remain. There is no ques-
tion, in our mind, that we have the
right to do this; and it would remedy
the evil immediately. Let it be done.

~" Dick Yates made q speech in
the United States Senate, few days
since, in which he attacked that plank
in the Radical platform which de-
clares that Congress should legislate
on the question of negro suffrage in
the South, but that it should be left
to the States in the North; and that
the failure to declare universal suf
frage North and South alike to be the
doctrine of the Radical party will
cause that party to lose Illinois by
25, 900 Democratic majority. "I tell
senator's" says Mr.. Yates, soaring to
one of his sublime" passages-"I
tell the republican party-that this
question must be met. Gentlemen
cannot bury the party in tho sand
No question of internal or external
policy can obscure it. No glare OF
militrry glory can overshadow it.
The party must make the issue. 1t
must move on TO universal suffrage
everywhere. It cannot be left to the
States, for the States will not do it.

the South let Congress, by one sub
lime act, do it in the States of the

ENocH ARDEN OUTDoNE.-Enoch
Arden has been outdone in Daven-
port, Iowa. The facts are that Ma
than Swim, nice young mechanic,
had pretty wife and four children.
Swim took boarder, a freight con-
'ductor on the Chicago, Rock Island
land Pacific Railroad, who stole the
pretty woman's affections and behav-
ed very naughtily. Swim begged of
his wife, at various times, to change
her conduct, and he would forgive
her. She wouldn't reform, and so
Swim divided his goods with her and
helped her to ship them West, in COM
pany with her erseducer. The woman got
into The caboose, and bade her hus-
band goodby coolly as though he
were mere acquaintance. Swim then
went up to the rascal and said -
$'You've got the woman. IF you ev.
'er desert her or misuse her, and | hear
eof it, I'll kill you. You've done
enough to injure me-don't repeat it
with her." and off they started for
4he West.

The Fast-side Railroad.

In discussing the question Of transportation In
connection with tho railroads, the State Rights
Democrat" has the following:
eve had reference TO tho cast aide railroad /;
but VIC think that railroad on tho west side would
also affect the =. I. Co. TO tho extent Of breaking
up the monopoly thoy now enjoy. Why mott As
10 tho "two roads' spoken Of wo have serious
doubts whether one Of tho 1.-TWO roads" will be
built very soon ;-wo mean tho east side. Wo be-
gin TO believe We have been humbuggcd."
We do not pretend 10 say that tho east-sdo rail-
road is . humbug. but thero arc some strange
things IN their way Of doing things. People in
Oregon can't understand them. For example,
they do business in tho namo Of "a. J. Cook 4
Co." and still can't inform the public where this
firm has It's place Of business. Then again they
survey up to Oregon City, and then skip from
there to Judge Grim's in French Prairie. and then
commence there AZ an assumed point Then they
skip 10 Corvallis. assume point TO cross the river
and run up TO Eugene City. This may be . prop
er way Of doing business Ia locating railroad,
but oregonisns /" can't SEQ it.-Porftaad Commer-
eiaL"
The Commercial states some of the
facts which led us to begin to believe
that the East-side railroad is q hum
bug. But, as we say elsewhere, we
have good reason to believe that the
East-side Railroad is all right; and
that it is no humbug. We are friend
to the railroad all the time-we want
that understood; but we do not want
to be humbugged, nor to be instru-
mental in humbugging Others. That's
what's tho matter.

How we are SwindIed.

a national banker buys one hum
dred thousand dollars and receives
for them ninety thousand dollars in
greenbacks. His real outlay is there
fore only ten thousand dollars. On
this he gets, from the government, on
the bonds, six thousand in ngold, equal
to $4,000 in greenbacks, and besides
makes ten per cent. at least on the
greenbacks issued to him for the
bonds, making the comfortable sum
of Sl7 200, and yet the people, under
this absurd system, expect to pay
some day about three thousand mill
lions-the public debt. The bankers
may be able to discharge this debt by
this system of augmenting it, but the
people, never. The only real outlay
to which q national banker Is subject
ed is the difference between the Uni
ted States bonds he deposits and the
amount of greenbacks issued to him.
Suppose he continued the process and
when he has $780, 900 of greenbacks
he again buys bonds and again draws
greenbacks, $4,000 from the treasur-
er. Again he repeats the process
and draws $4,000 and then 100000
and then again 1000. Sums great
er but approximating these, in green
backs, would be furnished until he
would receive interest on quite half a
million dollars from the government,
and his only real outlay would be the
original $4,000. If the Union were
richer than Cresus and Rothschilds
and all the kings and emperors in the
world, this process would speedily
bankrupt it. The people, under this
wonderful banking system, disguise
it as we may, pay one hundred per
cent. for the use of private bankers
capital.-,&. Louis Times.

HOW.WILL THE ELECTION RE.
SUIT?

Some of the radical orators and ed
itors are just now quite busy trying
to elect Grant and Colfax with-fg-
ures!
The New York Tribune, the most
Influential of all the radical organs,
comedies that, if the Southern States
take part in the election, they will be
equally divided between the Demo.
cratic and Radical parties. 1t insists
that the Radicals will be sure of
North and South Carolina, Louisiana,
Florida and Arkansas but comedies
that the other five will probably go
Democratic.
If all the States vote they win cast
S15 electoral votes. Hence the suo-
cessful candidate must receive l5s
votes. The following States, we give
1t as our opinion. will go Democratic:
Ohio, with p electoral votes; Oregon,
with votes; kentucky, II; New
York, 50; New Jersey, Z; Maryland,
q; Delaware, 8; California, 5; Cen
inecticut, 6; West Virginia, 5; Penn
.sylvania, 90; Illinois, 16; Indiana, Is
Missouri, H. Nebraska, 3. Total
electoral vote, 10, or twelve xetes
more than enough to elect. The fol-
slowing States will probably go Dem
ocratic: Alabama, 8; Georgia, 8 :
Virginia 10; Mississippi, I; and Tex
as, 5; making grand total of 204 cleo
storal votes. These are our figures.
and we trust the reader will cut out
this article, save it till next Novem-
Der, and see how much we miss the
mark. We kenestly believe that Gen.
Grant will be beaten out of sight
Even the New York Tribune admits
that, in order for Grant to be elected,
he must receive the votes of one of
these States, viz: New York, Penn
.sylVania or Ohio.
We call upon Democrats to 90 to
work The future is bright and big
with promise. The long night of
Radical misrule, anarchy and despot-
ism is soon to end, and long bright
day will succeed.

M the President elected by the pemoeraoy D

If the President elected by tho Democracy en-
forces or permits others to enforce these Recon-
struetion Acts, the Radicals, by the accession of
twenty spurious Stnators and fifty Representa-
eives, win control both branches of Congress, and
bis administration will bo as pOwcrless rs tho
present one Of Mr.. Johnson's.
There Is but one way to restore the Government
and the Constitution, and that is for tho President
elect to declare these acts null aud void, compel
the army to undo its usurpatioas at the South,
disperse the carpet-bag State Governments and
elect Senators and Representatives. The House
Of Representatives will contain the majority OF
Democrats from the North, and they win admit
the Representatives elected by the white people Of
she South, and with the cooperation Of the Pres
ident it will not be difficult to compel the Senate
20 submit once more to the obligations of the
Constitution It viii not be able TO withstand the
public Judgment if distinctly invoked aud clearly
expressed this fundamental issue, and it is the
way to ovoid all future strife to put the issue
plainly to the eountry.-FraRk p. Blair.

GRANT AGAINST THE ISRAEL.
TIES.

We notice that many Of our Radi-
cal exchanges justify Gen. Grants or
der expelling the Jews from his lines,
thus running many of them, and sing
ling them out as class for wholesale
prescription. The Jacksonville SEN
tinel, of this State, says that the
Jewish traders were notoriously
carrying information to tho enemy
from within his lines," and that is
why Grant issued his order; and the
Sentinel justifes Grants action in the
premises. Some of the Israelites may
have done this thing; but to suppose
that they all did SO is preposterous.
No one would blame Grant for expcll-
ing those who were guilty; it is be-
cause he expelled tho innocent as we'll
as guilty,-it is because no made no
distinction at all between them, but
made all suffer alike, that he is CEN
sured by the Democracy. And it is
for this reason that tho Israelites, as
a body, will go against him. Over
two thousand Israelites in st. Louis
recently singed circular pledging
themselves that they would vote
against him, and do all they could to
defeat him; and they arc right in
this thing. Grant is hostile to them !;
and they cannot bo otherwise than
anta5onistic to him. Personal inter-
est requires it; so docs their honor.

n. Y. HERALD.-We see that this
venal sheet is advocating the election
of Grant, and the Radical papers are
rejoicing thereat. The editor, Ben
nett, is known to be one of the most
unscrupulous men in the United States.
ALI he cares for is money. The man
or the party which pays him best Sc
cures his services. Although he is
now advocating Grants election, yet
if Seymour and Blair were to give
him his price he would go for them.
He advocates every side of every
question that comes before the coun-
try just as his interests seem to re-
quire. He does not even lay any
claim to consistency, but acknowl-
edges openly that he is after money.
When he advocates any measure or
the merits of any man it only proves
that he believes he can make money
by so doing.
