PRTRIFIED HUMAN BODY-Mrs. Cath
crime Hippel, of Kansas, deceased in 1856,
in the Goth year of her age. In the course
of time, her family decided to remove the
body East. On opening the grave, on the
Goth of February, 1869, the body was dis
covered, so the statement goes, completely
petrifed. The color of the face and hands
was two shades darker than the natural,
and somewhat resembled vanished sur
face. The features were as full and per-
feet as when she was alive, SO that all who
had known her, inspecting her remains,
recognized the well-remembersd coun.
tenance. Although the remains were
roughly handled on the railroad transfer
from Kansas to the East, the stony figure
remained intact. The forehead, fingers
and other parts of the body, when tapped
with key, bad the same dull and heavy
sound as solid stone. The coffin was
also partly petrifed, and the flowers in
the hair of the deceased, as well as her
clothing, were perfect, and of the con,
sistency of stone. When the edges were
bent they broke off short, in the same
manner as if broken from stone This &C
count is said to be vonched for by the son
of the deceased lady.-scAenectady Star.

Resoleea /. That We, the Union
Republicans of Polk county, endorse
the platform of principles adopted at
the State Convention at Portland.
2. That we are in favor Of the re
duction of fees in the Office Of Sheriff
and Clerk, in the several counties of
this State, aud in favor of retrench-

ing the Constitution Of Oregon so as TO
allow the State to lend It's credit for any
sum greater than is now provided by
that instrument.
4. That while We cheerfully acquiesce

Resoised. L. That We believe, with
Mr.. Douglas, that "this is a white man $
Government;" made by white men to
be governed by them for all time to
come, and that we will meet, with
force if necessary, any and all attempts
on the part of the Abolition party to
vote the negro, Indian or Chinaman.
2. That the so-called Fifteenth
Amendment is revolutionary in spirit.
subvcrsive Of the Constitution and
should be opposed by all true friends of
the Caucasian race and Constitutional
government.
} That the assumption On the part
Of Congress Of the prerogatives of the
executive and judicial co ordinate
branches and departments of the Gov.
ernment. is dangerous usurpation of
power, destructive of Constitutional Ii.
berty. and merits the severest censure
of every true friend of the Constitu~
tion.
4. That we are in favor of free trade,
and direct taxation to defray the neces>
sary expenses of the Government.
5. That the action of the Radical
party, as exhibited in the vote of the
Representatives in the present Congress,
which violates, at the instance of the
bondho,der, the terms Of the contrac,
which exists between them and the peo.
pie, by declaring that such holders
shall be paid in gold for their bonds
for which they could legally claim buI
currency, is not only gross infractiou
cf said contract, but is direct and
outrageous swindle upon the Taxpayers
of the nation.
6. That the reputation by the Ad.
ministration and by Congress of the
valid claims of Southern loyalists, per
petrated for the purpose of paying the
bondholder nearly double that which ht
is entitled to. exhibits on tho part o.
the party in power its old spirit of sec

VILLAINS, BEWARE
The Shown Up.
TO THE INDEPENDENT VOTERS
OF POIk COUNTY.

We, the Union Republican candid
ates of Polk county, wish through this
circular to express to the voters of the
county our political positions and to
vindicate ourselves against certain SLAM
ders which are intended to affect Us in
the coming election and are being pubs
licly circulated by the Democratic can
didates, who are now making what they
call canvass, asking the voters of the
county to support them.
Accompanying them is one John 0.
Shelton, who pretends to know great
deal about the use Of money by Holla-
day & Co., to carry the county in the
interest Of Williams
We will notice the afilavits which
appear in the Salem Daily Press. The
second and .hird are part Of batch
published in that paper Of the 18th
ult., in which it is claimed that Mr.
Boone desired to hire hands to 20 aud
work for tie Government, and amounts
TO nothing if trpe All we have to say
in reply is that those afiidavits do not
charge us with anything.
The affidavit of Hartman does not
charge us with anything, and SO far as
it duplicates anyone, it certainly does
not amount to much when he now comes
out in another affidavit and says that ho
made the one which appears IN the Press
under duress.
The affidavit OF John j.. Shelton
charges us with nothing, aud all that he
pretends to know was learned from
John O. Shelton, who seems to be the
great leading light of the party, towards
whom all eyes are turned and all ears
are opened to see statesman and hear
the eloquenee of his tongue.
So far as John O. Shelton testimony
is concerned, We suppose he has told ali
be pretends to know, and cannot again
take the stand He says that be re-
ceived all his information in regard to
money from Boone and Lafollett Not
one OF the men on our ticket is enumer-
ated as having dollar of money for
the purpose of carrying the election
Shelton says that he was employed by
members of the Republican party, as
agent of that party, to carry the county
In the interest of the Republicans. He
don't say that anyone offered him mon,
ey. or that he ever had dollar of the
mooey which he says was in the hands
of these men.
His statement is certainly very vague
and uncertain, and shows very conclu
sigely that he knew but little abou
what he was swearing, and cares mucl
less about what he is doing SO long al
he makes his bread and butter.
We append to this address affidavit
and statements of men who, to say th
least, stand as high in the communit,
in which they live as those who hav'
signed and sworn to the statement
above referred to. We ask the candle
mind to take the testimony and proof
and render verdict accordingly.
The charge has been made by the op
position candidates that money has beer
and IS being used by the Republican
party to corrupt the voters of this coun
ty for the purpose of eleeting the lie

the case, it is without our knowledge
and consent, and we hereby denounce
the whole thing false so far as we are
concerned. The opposition cannot deny
the use of money by them for election.
eering purposes unless they deny the
truth.
They charge that We were afraid to
meet them and discuss the issues Of the
day. There are several reasons which
prompted us to this course. 1st, The
voters of the county are informed upon
the issues of the dag and we are 10th to
believe that any efforts of ours or of the
opposition would have the effect to
change the vote of single man. I'd,
1t is L very busy time of year and peo-
pie generally do not like to leave their
various vocations, when it is improbable
that any possible good could result
therefrom. Sd, The two parties have
made platforms and it is fair to presume
that the candidates upon each ticket
stand by the declaration of principles
contained therein, aud which are herein
set forth.
With this short address to our fellow.
citizens, we now appeal to them to give
us their support, trusting that our long
residence in the county will be suffi
cient guarantee that, if we should be
elected, we will, to the utmost of our
ability, perform the various duties to
which your sufrages shall have called

EDITOR REPUBLICAN:
Dear Sri understand that it has
been said, by certain man who is can
vassing for the Democratic ticket, in
this county, that-at a certain time and
place, in the town of Dallas, and in my
presence Republican offered him
$500 not to expose certain frauds which
he claims to exist in the Republican
party. in this county Now, all have
to say about that statement is, that il is
a lie. made OF whole cloth. No man
in the Republican party ever made
any such proposition in my presence,
at any time or place.
During conversation, however, be-
tween said canvasser myself and an
other Republican. when said canvasser
still proicssed to be Republican, and
while the Salem Press was abusing him
as Republican, he stated that the De-
mocracy had offered him big money to
canvass for them, and that Tol. Savery
wo, take him around in buggy Tor
that purpose.

further, that we have used no money

which affidavit Shelton says that he has
learned from Capt Lafollett and w w.

other consideration.
am also Informed that said Shelton
