Whatever may be said of their polyg-
amv, the Mormon women have GER
tainly some very common-sense views
with regard to fashion in dress, cleanli-
ness of person, &c. They adopted a
series of resolutions at one of their
recent meetings, heartily endorsing
Paups and Peters ideas with regard to
women adjoining themselves sin modest
apparel--not with braided hair, or gold,
or pearls, or costly array, but, which be-
cometh women possessing goodness,
with good works" This principle they
resolve is the true one, and should be
fully exemplified in their practice.
Listen to the following:
Resolved, That with a firm and settled
determination 70 honor the foregoing require
ments, and being deeply sensible Of the sinful
ambition and vanity IN dress among tn 9e
foster the pride of the world and shut out the
spirit of God from the heart, we mutually
agree TO exert our influence, both by precept
and by example, TO suppress ana eventually
TO eradicate these evils.
That, inasmueh as cleanliness Is charac-
teristlc Of a saint and Al. imperative duty, we
shall discard the dragging skirts, and, for
decencIesi sake, those disgustingiy short
ones extending no lower than the boot tops.
We also regard ''paniers" and whatever APP
prcxlmate in appearance toward the "Greclan
Bend" burlesque on the natural beauty ana
dignity OF the human female form, ana VIII
not disgrace our persons by wearing them.
If this is not sound doctrine and good
sense we do not know what is. We
commend the incubation of like views
to all women.

CHEERING PROSPECTS,

The Democratic beacon is growing
brighter and brighter throughout the
United States, and there is Jet hope
tor the country in its ultimate triumph.
And while the watch fires are kindled
all along the Northern shores. and
sending up cheering flames to glad
den the hearts Of the people, our south
ern brethren are not idle, but are rear
ing the good old Democratic standard
once more in their sunny borders and
fiocking to battle under its loved folds.
The noble and inspiriting victory gain
ed by the Democrats Of North Caroli-
MIA in behalf Of Constitutional govern
ment, in defiance of Grants bayonets
and the haiters and thumb-screws of
Holden and Kirk. has inspired their
brethren in Georgia with fresh courage
and determination, and they are GO
ing 10 work in earnest to redeem their
fair State from the blistering curse of
Bullock Radicalism Without wasting
further strength in ,bewailing the past,
they have resolved to deal with the
present so as to make the best possible
provision for the future; and to this
end, in the Democratic State Conven-
ton held in Georgia few days since,
they adopsedpat broad platform of
State Equality and Constitutional Lib
erty which will command the respect
and earnest support of all who love
liberty and justice and hate oppression
and wrong The most potent means
We're resorted to for thorough organ
ization Of the Democratic and Con-
servative elements of the people in
support of the platform and candidates
of the Convention, and we believe
nothing will save the Infamous Bull
lock and. his characterless satellites
from an ignominious defeat. Thank
God, the ruinous rule of carpet bag
gers and niggers is about through with
in the South and the people of that
sunny land are once more arising from
out the blackened wreck and asserting
their independence, their manhood
and their. rights. De

PROPOSED DIVISION OF LINN
COUNTY.

It is with no little surprise that
we learn that o movement is on foot
and a petition in circulation in certain
localities asking the Legislature to
divide Linn county. It is true thnt
this question has been slightly agitated
in some quarters before, but we did
not believe that the movement would
ever arise to the dignity of q petition
to the Legislature, We are now in
formed, however, that couple of in
dividuals are diligently engaged in
circulating q petition and soliciting
signatures to it, which they intend to
present to the present Legislative As
sembly. praying that Linn county be
severed in twain and that two or
three counties be manufactured from
the divided parts, We are also in
formed that remonstrance, numer-
ously signed, has already been forward
ed to the Legislature in anticipation
of this division movement; and we de-
sire herewith to record ourself on the
side of the demonstrating party, and
respectfully ask, as an humble citizen
of Linn county. that the prayer of the
petitioners for division be not granted.
Indeed we could not conceive of n
greater disaster to our proud, grand
county than its division would entail.
Our people have erected the finest
court house, but one, in tho State, at
a cost of nearly thirty thousand dol
lars, and we have established o repu-
tation abroad for prosperity and re-
sources second to no county on The Pa
cific coast, and now to have our glory
snuffed out at one Legislative blast and
our proud county's identity swallowed
up in trio of little districts hardly
as large as some of our present pre-
cincts, would be the greatest conceiv-
able injustice to our people. sI-
There is only one fair way OF testing
the sentiments of the people of Linn
comfy upon this important question,
and that is by direct vote upon it at
the ballot box and as the matter has
never been submitted to them in that
way we hold that the Legislature
would have no right to pass upon the
question. We do not believe that
Linn county has Representative in the
State Legislature who will for q mo-
ment favor the introduction of such q
petition until our people have all had
q free and fair expression of sentiment
upon the question at the ballot box ;
and if there are any, we hold that they
merit the condemnation of the whole
people of the county. It is true, Linn
county covers vast area of country,
and in after years there will perhaps
arise the necessity of division of her
broad acres, but we do not see any rea-
son for such q movement now, while
there is every argument to hold her
under one county organization and one
name. Trusting and believing that our
Legislators will efectually squelch "
the division petition when it comes up
before that body, we leave the matter
in their hands and in "prayerful 81
lence" await the issue.

Representative Alexander, of this
county, has introduced q bill which
win. If it becomes a law, be of vast
benefit to the people of the entire Will
annette Valley, and particularly to the
residents of Marion, Polk, Linn, Ben
ton and Lane counties. The bill is
designed to establish canal and locks
at Oregon City, so as to render the
Willamette, river navigable without
the necessityand expense of making a
q portage atthat place which now per-
mits one corporation to command the
water carrying trade of the entire Will
annette Valley. Following is "a synopsis
of the main features of the bill:
Il grants s12e, 900 coin to aid construction of
canal and locks the east side of the river. the
+. I. Company being recognized as the corpora
tion TO construct the same The tolls to be go
cents per ton for the first years Is cents per
ton for the second period of ten years. and ut the
end Of that time the State shall have the right to
take canal and locks at their actual value. The
aid IL not to exceed $s9, 300 per anaum 70 be re-
allied ont of the i've per cent. coming from the
public sale of lands in Oregon Or, il that Is not
enough from proceeds Of the sales Of 500 600 acres
OF Estate lands. Said canal shall be commenced
June LIST 1871. and the company shall spend $50
goo the frst year, and the work shall be complet-
cd within three years. The corporation to give
bonds in the sum Of $25e.ooo for their eompii-
anee with the act. sd 5nz .aoitEaIlz .sst- e
We confidently believe that this bill
will pass. and, if it does, in few
few short years this portion of our
State viii have the cheapest means of
transportation from the Willamette
Valley that any country is blessed
with, and the expense in constructing
the same will be SO light that no one
viii feel the burden. ID One such q
measure as the above is worth all the
silly " queue bills" which all the leg
islative talent could invent, and will
serve to make our Democratic mem
bers rs popular as the latter named
farce will render certain ones ridicu-

gram from Salem, Oregon, announ-
cling the election of James K Kelley
for full term of United States Sena-
tor, commencing March 4th, 1870
He supercedes Hon. George II. Will
hams, whose term expires with the
present Congress. Mr.. Kelley was
nominated by the Democracy in eau
eus, and was elected on the first bal
lot, in each House, under q general
law of Congress, by q majority of six
teen in all. He is an old Oregonian,
having emigrated to that State in 1S49,
from Pennsylvania, of which he is a
native. He is hard-shell Democrat,
and has ever been found faithful and
true to the principles of his party
He has twice received the nomination
at its hands for member of Congress,
and has occupied seat in the State
Senate. At the last Gubernational
election he was the opponent of Gov
ernor Woods, and it is believed that
he was beaten by fraudulent votes,-
He is an able and logical speaker,
goes directly to the point, and is adroit
and ready in debate. He has not only
the confidence Ut the party which ell
ected him, but commands the unboun-
ed esteem and respect of all who know
him. He is now a resident OF. Port
land, where he occupies a leading po-
sition at the ,bar-the law having been
his profession ever since his arrival in
the State. Firm and dignifed by ma
ture, of unquestioned integrity of fchar-
acter, thoroughly versed in political
history and party issues, he will add
Igratulate the Democracy of Oregon
upon the happy issue of their contest.
We congratulate the people of Cali
fornia that our indefatigable, ever
watchful and able Senator, Casserly,
will fud SO efficient and congenial q
coadjutor in representing Pacific coast
