RuTrAN's SYSTEM OF VENTILATIoN-There
is no subject on which architects have been
more at variance than the proper system OF
warming and ventilating buildings. The reason
for this disagreement undoubtedly lay in the
fact that no system which could bear tho
test of scientific principles was known to any Of
them. The des;deratum is believed to be found
in the invention of the Hon. H. Ruttan. His
system exactly reverses any other hitherto pur.
sued, by cxhausting the foul air from the bottom
instead Of the top of the room. The system is
being universally adopted in all the large cities
1t is cheap, involving scarcely any additional sx-
pense in the erection Of new buildings w. B.
TITUS, Carpenter and builder in this city, is the
sole agent for this and neighboring counties, to
whom all wifhing to adopt this system in thor
dwellings should apply.

Great German aaengelfest.

On the 18th inst, will open at Chicago the
10Th Annual Festival OF the North American
Saengerbund. The gathering will consist of
about 20 German Singing Societies, from all
parts of the United States, assisted BY numer-
Gus musical celebrities from Paris, Bologne,
Berlin, Bresau, Dresdren, and other prom
inent musical centers of Europe, among whom
may be named the celebrated contralto singer.
Madame Lumley-Bath, and the great violin
cello player Herr Mollenhauser. Besides the
Singers there will also be present an immense
gathering OF Germans from all parts of the
country as spectators and participants il those
general cnjoyments which Germans always
provide for themselves when there is a large
number Of them together.
Although the general gathering place will
be at the Wabash Avenue Rink, Crosby's OPP
era House, Turner Hall, Uhlrich Hall, and
other public halls will be occupied in the
evenings during the three days continuance
of the festival with balls, concerts, &c.
The general programme is much too lengthy
for insertion in our columns, but it embraces
half n dozen of grand concerts in the even
ings grand choruses and singing exercises
during the day, Turner exercises, grand pro.
cessions, business meetings, speeches, &C.. &c
The expectation is that it will be the grand.
est affair of the sort ever held on this cont.
nent. The Societies in Chicago have collected
over $4,000 to be expended in entertaining
their guests alone, to say nothin. of the ex.
penses of halls, fixtures, and the like.

Oregon Election.

Oregon responds nobly to the nomination
OF CofaX and Grant. Her annual state cleo
tlon took place on the Goth ult. and resulted
IN brilliant Democratic victory. Smith, the
Democratic candidate for congress, was elect
ed by 1000 majority, and all the members of
the Legislature and county officers except two
or three are Democrats. 1t is the first time
the Democrats have carried the state in ten
years
Iiurrah for Grant and Cofax!

Cor aervative Soldiers and Sailors Con
ventj0r

A call has been issued for convention of
tn conservative soldiers and sailors Of this
congressional district, to be held at Ottawa on
the 2.th inst, TO appoint delegates to the
National Convention OF Conservative Soldiers
and Sailors to be held in New York City in
July bnt although we have seen the call, by
some mismanagement, no copy has been left
with us for publication this week. The for
mai call, however, will appear in our next.
1t is found on little canvassing, we are
told thai of the rank and file Of soldiers and
sailors in this region, certainly more than half
are with the democracy, while of the "shoul-
der strap gentry" nine-tenths are the other
way. So the probability is that the proposed
congressional convention will be honored by
the presence Of very small proportion Of
generals, colonies and majors, as the conven-
ton in New York will not, like the recent sol.
diers' convention in Chicago, be composed en-
tirely of Brigadier and Major Generals; but
the democracy are quite willing to dispense
with the straps, and take the rank and file.

W. W. o'Brien, Eso.

The Democratic candidate for Congressman
at large from this state, made rousing demo-
cratic speech in st. Louis on Monday evening
OF last week. The Republican reports the
speech in full, from which We extract the fol.
lowing remarks in regard to his opponent.
John A. Logan:
l find that thsre are men here who ara scopa;nt.
ed with Logan. l will say q word about him:
Ihasmuch as the General is not here, will not
say anything OF him worse than the radicals
themselves say. Then nobody can find fault
WIN me. II was an outrage for the radicals TO
call him "Dirty Work. He cursed A. Lincoln
and then worshipped him. He cursed the negro
ana then worshipped him. He cursed the re-.
publican party and then worshipped it, In fact
there is no side of any measure that Logan was
not on, but like the rest Of his tribe, he is going
to poison his party. l do not pretend that am
patriotic as Logan In 1861, when he tbouvbt
jeff Davis was likely to succeed, he declared
that the sons Illinois of should drveback northern
fanaticism. This have from radical authority
will not question the veracity Of his party
friends. They know him best Thew sav no
made speeches and threatened to assassinata
Douglas. He declared that the Northern troeps
should never pass over Illinsis until they passed
over his dead body. | do not know these things
of my own knowledge, because l live too far
away from him. only repeat what the repub.
lican party has said about him. | do not pre.
tend to be rs loyal as he. As soon as he discoy-
cred that JEFF. Davis was going to be whipped
he sacrificed a business where he could aoculnu.
late eight hundred to nine hundred dollars
year He made that great sacrifice for the con.
sideration Of Major Generals commission with
six thousand dollars year and stealings and
perquistes besides. | do not pretend to be as
loyal as that man, nor to have made anv such
sacrifices as that He now commands the Grand
Army OF the Republic There are hundred, OF
men IN our state and thousands who carried n
muskot and who fought for thirteen dollars \
month, who wore bad clothes and had no bed 10
sleep on, who are qualified for that post as much
as Logan. He offers them the inestimabe priv
ilege OF voting FOX Major Generals every time
elections come around. John is prepared 10
make every sacrifice for the soldiers. Nv demo-
cratic friends OF Illinois have determined that,
nesmuch as john is in favor of impeachment.
they will appoint me TO present articles of i'm
p.achment against him, and prosecute them
during the coming summer and propose, on the
4th day of November, 70 pass Judgment on him
and Gust him. You ask mo 10 tell YOU about
Logan. All that | regret in the world is that
am going to be the successor Of such man as he
Is. Whom | get into Congress--and I tell YOU
| am going there; | will introduce a bill 10 re-
peal every act that Logan voted for, except the
appropriation bill.

Flatterins Testimonial.

Quite proportion Of our German popula-
ton consists of Jews, and nearly all have hith-
erto been noted for their "loyalty," meaning
blythe word "loyalty' adhesion to the repab-
lican party. Possibly some of these loyal Ger
mans, particularly of Jewish proclivities, nay
not yet have seen the lannon's order of Gen.
Grant, in which he took special pains to speak
of them in the most hattering terms. Since
Grant has become the nominee of the Repub-
lican party for the Presidency, this "tlatter-
ing testimonial " must be regarded as espec-
tally valuable by his numerous "loyal' jew
ish friends

Kicking the Dead.

That was mean and spitcful act on the
part of the House of Representatives at Wash
ingt0n, in voting down resolution to pay
the customary honOrs to the memory of James
Buchanan, as u deceased President of the
United States. Whatever the political Of
lenses Flames Buchanan may have been, and
he was guilty of no Others than political, for
in his private life he was pure and exemplary }
they were offenscs with which the Democratic
party had infinitely more cause than the Re-
publicans to find fault. His war on Stephen
A. Douglas, which caused the defeat of the
Democratic party and really brought on the
rebellion, was into the hands of the Rcpubli-
can party and applauded by them. AS regards
the enunciations in his last annual message in
reference to secession, bad and vicious as his
doctrines undoubtedly were they have been
adopted in every word and particular by the
radical party, and constitute their whole creed
to-day. Mr.. Buchanan held that there was no
constitutional right for state to secede, yet If
state did in fact secede from the Union. the
constitution gave the general government no
power to coerce it back, any further than was
involved in the mere police power of the gen
eral government to enforce obedience to its
laws on the part of individuals in the seeded
states; but to force them into obedience as
states we must first acknowledge secession to
be legal and then bring them back by the
sword as conquered provinces. And this is
precisely the doctrine on which, after the first
year, the war was conducted by the radical
party, and on which its legislation in reference
TO the rebel states is based this day. In vent
ing their spite against James Buchanan, there
fore, the rebels IN Congress are guilty of the
meanness ofinsulting the memory Of the man
to whom they owe all their successes as a party,
and to whom obey are indebted for their prin-
ciples. The Democrats are not ghouls, to bat
ten on the carcasscs Of the dead but the tru-
culent mcanness OF radicalism even violates
the grave to vent its petty spite on those to
whom it even owes gratitude.

absurd and false. The motto of the propri-
etor of the Rodman House is to ''Pdy
promptly and collect promptly" and he IS
pleased to say that he has had no trouble in
collecting, excepting in one case, and that
is the editor of the Union, who refuses to
pay his bill--(excepting one time when he
had woman with him.
Now, Little Stick, you had better pay
your bill if you are not able maybe some
of your friends will throw in dollar and q
half, and help you out You had better square
up the matter. 1t certainly looks bad to have
bill of this kind standing against you.

A Coon DEAL of fault is found because
the ferry boat does not run later IN the even.
ing. People do not like to risk themselves
in skias, and they think the boat might make
trip or two after dark just as well as not.
And so it might, il the owners would so d.
rect. But people must remember that the
ferry boat is not run for the accommodation
of the public-it is run solely TO aceommo'
date the "poor heirs" and fill their already
gorged pocketsat the expense Of the people,
The idea that the poor heirs would make a
trip or two after dark, just to accommodate
the people, from whose pockets they are sup.
ported, is absurd. The poor heirs make no
trips of that sort. Every trip must be pay
ing one.
