AD INTERIM.-The Corvallis Gazette of
the 18th announces that the editor has flown
to the ocean beach and we infer from the
elegant and classic style of the last issue
that our Chesterfeldian friend; ''the Judge" !"
is reyelIing on the tripod in the absence of
the regular editor. No other brain ever
produced that crushing leader On ''How we
know them" 'Tis his very own self who
so numerically and at one cruel blow lets
the csneeit out of the Democratic party and
80 cruelty castigates the Democratic press Of
Oregon. Ye gods! Simpson, come home I!
Sammy, dear Sammy. come home to your "pape."
The Judge is just bursting with gas
He's pulled himself blind and corrupted his shape,
And written himself down an ass.

THE SENATORIAL CONFLICT.

Editor Democrat:
As the time for the assembling of
the Legislature approaches the ankle
ty respecting the election of Senator
will naturally increase, and many will
be the schemes of factions to forward
the interests of their man and them
selves. There will be legion of spe-
cial pleaders harping upon some old
dogma which has no vitality in the
present social order of society. Spe-
cial pleading and negative action has
been too much the system with the
prominent candidates for Offices of
trust, and no good to our country
comes out of it. A positive man, un-
trammeled by factional obligations,
will do much more for the general
good and prosperity of our State than
any political office-seeker. The Office
should seek the man and not the man
the Office. The people in general
HHNe 'lil iHteFesb III tHe NuTlous iii
provements and advantages which
our State ought soon to possess, and
a man with good business habits, and
who will labor untiringly for the in
terests of Oregon, will be of much
more benefit to the people in the Sen
ate than nero politician. Such
person will scarcely be found in any
of the rings which enfold the Office
seekers, but must be looked for among
the rank and file of the honest and
persevering men of intelligence who
serve principle rather than popular
demonstration. Whatever may be the
claims of individuals as partisans, n
person upon whom the people can
rest their claims should be selected.

The Radical newspapers OF Oregon
are now harping upon the same string
in aid of Williams reelection to the
Senate that they used in favor of Joe
Wilson In June-that there is no use
to elect Democrat to either branch
of Congress as he can have no infu-
ence with the majority party there
From the indications at present the
next Congress viii have majority in
unison with Democracy, and then, ac-
eording to the Radical process of rea-
soping, it will be necessary for us to
be represented by Democrat in order
to secure any benefits from that body.
Sc It is poor rule that won't work
both ways"

ACCORDING TO Mr.. Fish, says the n.
Y. Herald, our position in the war that
threatens to unsettle the order of the
world is that of a suppliant to one of
the Powers for small favor, which,
of course, as it was ridiculous thing
to ask, that Power could only refuse.
Mr.. Fish, speaking on behalf of the
government and people of the United
States, puts them ON their knees to beg
from France that, out of consideration
for their necessities, she may be pleased
to spare the North German line OF
steamers, that the American people and
government "depend" upon for postal
communication with Europe. We
doubt if ever before great people was
made quite so contemplate as this.

Mr. Grant thus confcsses that, in his
official character as president of the Uni
ted States, he has caused citizen to be
held imprisoned in foreign dungeon to
prevent him from exposing little specu-
lation in which the President was e ngaged.
The next we shall hear will perhaps be
that President Grant has ordered some
citizen to be bastinadoed, or "bucked and
gagged" to prevent him from revealing
when the President INDUCED in his last
drunken debauch.

In astate of peace the South German
countries have an Independent exist
enee, but during war they become prac-
tically q part of the Prussian Power.
War. then, effectively joins South Ger
many to the North German Union.
And this is the reason why war may be
regarded without displeasure at Berlin;
for when war has once added these
South German States to Prussia we
may trust Bismark that they will never
be free again.

The INDUSTRIAL CONTEST. "A N. Y.
exchange very forcibly portrays the in
dustrial conflict now going on in the
East as "a contest of the bunk against
the bed, the roast rat against the roast
beet, the broadcloth of a gentleman
against the nankeen breeches of the
coolie, the enjoyment of industry
against it's hardships, the better side
of life against the baser." This hits
the case, and this is the character of
the contest now progressing on this
coast, with the laboring whites on one
side against IS, 900 Cinnamon on the
other.

THE OREGON AND CALIFORNIA
RAILROAD.


cisco, New York and England, laden
with railway iron for the completion
of the Oregon and California Railroad
to and beyond Salem, is now daily ex
pected There are on the way from
San Francisco to this port. the Zephyr,
twenty-four days out, and the Hattie
c. Bessie, a few days out. On these
two vessels there is enough iron to
lay the track from the point up to
which it is now laid. two miles north of
Aurora lDutchtownl. to within Is miles
of Salem. There is on board each
vessel locomotive for the road. The
Yankee and Whistler are also on the
way from San Francisco-the first
with locomotive, and the other with
two boilers for the Company's road
and works.
From England direct TO Portland,
laden with iron for the road, there
are now overdue the Tordenskiold, ,
over two hundred days out. and the
Lowed, about one hundred and
eighty days out, each expected daily.
By the arrival of either of these ships
the Company will have sufficient iron
to complete the track mile or two
beyond Salem. In addition to these
vessels there are also the following on
the way, some of which are due or
overdue From English ports direct
to Portland, Lyra, Gungur, Tenax
Propsoti and Madawaska; from Wales
TO San Francisco, the congress-over-
due; and from New York to San Fran
cisco, the Dauntless, the Sonora, the
Crockett and Favorita. On all these
vessels there is an aggregate of 5000
tons of iron, or enough to lay one
hundred miles Of road south of Par
rot's creck-a total of one hundred and
twenty miles from East Portland
Portland Bulletin.
Since the above was put in type we
learn from Portland papers that the
bark Zephyr from San Francisco,
with 400 tons of railroad iron and a
locomotive, and the Norwegian ship
"Tordenskjold," with 700 tons of rail
road iron, are both in the Columbia
river and will arrive at Portland in o
day or two. This will insure Salem
the railroad by the meeting of the
Legislature or shortly thereafter. The
Herald informs us that the railroad
will be opened for passengers next
week. A train will leave East Port.
land twice q day, connecting with the
stage at the end of the track, which
is at present Dutchtown. Passengers
from Portland are then expected tc
reach Salem in three and half hours
AS we have no boats up this far at the
present time, railroad would be M
enjoyable luxury to the citizens of AL
bany and vicinity.

OUR SYSTEM OF vorrNG.


Many persons urge the continuance
of the ctca rcce system of voting in
our State because it is sshme-honored'
and Democratic. While we are per-
haps as anxious to preserve the an
cient land marks of our party as any
other Democrat is, yet there is such q
thing as '.time-honored" practice
being honored more in the breach than
in the observance and we believe our
present system of voting is such an
one. The antiquity of thing is no
argument for its preservation or use,
for if it was the farmer would never
discard the shovel-plow for the gang,
or the ancient sycle for the Haines'
reaper, nor would the horse-canal be
displaced by the railway, or the week
ly mail for the Morse telegraph.
The exigency that called for our vira
coce system of voting no longer ex-
lists, and as our population is rapidly
increasing it is becoming a oumbrous
nuisance. If the Democratic party is
a party of the people, working for the
best interests of the laboring masses,
rs we have ever regarded it, there is
no better and surer way to protect
those people than to give them a free
and untrammeled ballot, secure from
the espionage of their employers and
the restricting influences of capital
lists. We all know that unnumbered
workingmen of Oregon were deferred
from voting with the Democratic party
at the last election by the fear of los
ing employment and jeopardizing their
chances for bread. Dare any one as
sert that all those four or five hundred
men voted by Ben Holladay last June
were Republicans, when it is well
known that large per cent. were Irish
and naturally Democratic? And does
any one suppose that any considela-
ton but that of desire for the nee
essaries OF life could have i,c:;d.nnced
those men to walk up like so many
galley-slaves and deposite their votes
for the party who has crushed out Ia
Dor by usurious taxation for the past
ten years? Is it fair or reasonable to
presume that all of the men in the
employ of the P. 7. Company would
year after year vote the Radical ticket
if they had any means of protecting
their ballots from the watchful and
jealous eyes of their employers? We
believe that if the ballot system had
been in use at the last election Multi
nomah and Clackamas counties would
have been to-day in the hands of the
Democracy instead of their offices be-
ing filed By minions OF Ben Holladay
and Geo. III. Williams If the Dem
ocratic members of the next Legisla-
ture desire to free the working classes
OF Oregon from the grasp CT monopo-
lists and capitalists, and give them the
opportunity of exercising the elective
franchise rndismayed and untrammel-
ed by railroad and steamboat monopo-
lists, they Will abolish the antiquated
system of voting now in vogue, and
give the people the ballot.

New York CRY. July 10. 1870.
DEAR SIR:-Permit me to extend
from the East to your young West the
hand of sympathy and the heart of sor-
row for the death of Hon f. ID. Hol-
brook, whose good record and noble quail
tiles were known far beyond the immedi-
ate people with whom he mingled and
for whom he worked. A great soul-a
brave man-a worthy spirit has gone to
his Saturday Night Rest, but the good
work he accomplished, and the happiness
he planted in the breasts of others will
live forever and bloom ever their sorrow
Please say to his brethcrn that when 1
pass that way, if they will tell me where
he sleeps, have sprig of Acacia to
mark the spot, and direct those who
would follow hum to rest under the mel
low, golden hight IN the east"
And while we mourn his loss, may VIC
not ask if this cannot be the last ''As-
sassination for Principle" We shall have
to chronicle?
Thine for the Right,
