HIS REceRp.--A. c. Jones, City Recorder and
candidate for County Clerk comes before the
Democracy of Liua county with very good rec
ord as bolter and disorganizer of the party in
former years. AS long ago as 1852 Mr. Jones
voted against the regular noninnee of the Demo
cratic party for Congress, Mr.. Stout and in n
lengthy communication to the Salem Statesmen
gives his reasons therefor. According to the Port
land Commercial this communication of Mr. Jones
appeared in the Salem Statesman of july 18th,
1859, immediately following the June election
The following is the concluding paragraph of the
communication in questions:
1t was considered best to stand aoof from every
part of the arrangement 1.-THE election of Stout
and thereby east n lasting rebuke unon all such
proceedings, and thereby show to all would-bc
poll ical leaders that if they would have the sun
port of the Democracy they must stand forth on n
true bass-they must hold forth and sustain prin-
ciples of Democracy.
Now, prominent Democrats all over the conn
ty charge that Jones secured his nomir alton by
trcachery and fraud that he was not the choice of
/ the Democracy of Linn for the Office Of County
/ Clerk. Those Democrats who refuse to counter
ance Jones in his nefarious schemes for Office are
merely following the example set by him in 1859.
and in voting for an honest and capable man for
the office. Mr. j. b. Monteith, :. thereby east u
lasting rebukc upon all such proccedings." Can
Democrats trust II man, whose record proves him
to have been n bolter in the past, and recently so
! treaeherous and unreliable? Can the party lash
be SO applied as to drive honest and independent
voters into supporting with their votes aud influ-
ence whom they despise and ahhor for his
/ political triekcry, and in whom they have not n
particle of confidence? Ne. thi~k not. The
party lash will be applied in vain, and the meek
hammered man " will be '.washed out in June.

A Portuguese Tragedy.

A strange tragedy is announced from
Lisbon. M. Viera de Castro, formerly
deputy and an author of some note, has
strangled his wife. He found that she
was carrying on an underhand CORE
spondence with NJ. Maria de Carrot, who
was considered one Of his most intimate
friends, and in the end she confessed her
actual guilt. The husband then half
smothered her with chloroform, after
which he completed her death by stran-
gulation De Carrot, to whom he after
ward sent challenge for duel Tou-
trance, declined to fight with him, but
intimated that he was willing to lose his
life as an expiation for the injury in
ficted, adding that he should pass GER
tain spot at such an hour. The injured
man, however, did not carry his revenge
further, but went to the Prefecture Of
Police and constituted himself pris-
oner The other has, it is rumored, en-
tered Trappist monastery. The muir

From present prospects, we may loob
for continuance of tight times in this
country. There never was a period in
the history of this Territory when bust
ness men experienced such difficulty in
getting along as they do at present; and
the laboring man finds it equally hard.
Work is scarce, money and other good
pay is much more scarce. There APP
pears to be a general slackness or stag
nation in business east, west, north and
south in other States and Territories, as
well as this. The dull times are not al
together owing to the scarcity Of grain
and other produce in the country on
which to live, for Of these there are
plenty yet-but rather to the general in
clinatiOn which prevails TO take in sail

CARD OF MR. WAREHOUSE
New York, June |, lS70.-Referring
to the charges preferred against me by
the recent report of the Committee on
the School Fund, 1 beg leave to state
that some time in Sept, 1865, ] was in
Cleveland, Tenn, and learned from John
0sment that there were several Tennes-
see bonds endorsed to the Insurance
Company OF the Valley of Virginia on
the market for sale. / told him not to
buy them until went to New York and
made some inquiry in regard to them,
and if | found that they were good in
the hands of the holder would write to
him to buy them for account of Water
house, Paul q Co. They were TO refund
him the purchase money and divide
the profits. Accordingly / wrote
him in November to buy the
bonds; that with little trouble / thought
tney cOulu Dt nlhuc UNI thcicuy impiy
ing that the Endorsement of the company
could be had. He purchased fifteen
bonds and sent them, for which they re-
turned him the purchase money, and
failing to get the transfer from the in
surance company, ordered him not to
buy any more. They obtained the state
ment Of John A. Fisher in February,
1866, and made another effort to get the
transfer, but from some cause the insu-
rance company again refused. We mott
fed Mr.. Osment Of the fact. In Novem-
ber 1866, Mr. Osment wrote us that he
could get new bonds for them if we
would send them to him, which we did
and he returned us new bonds for them
in person, which were sold and settle
ment made, he receiving one-half the
profits.
Iappend copies of the affidavits of Mr..
Fisher, which you will please publish
with this card the originals being in my
possession.
The committee did not request me to
appear before them. Yours truly,
