CLOVES LABOR LOST"

While we fully appreciate the dis
interested solicitude exhibited upon
the part of the Oregonian and its less
er satellites throughout the State, in
behalf of the Democracy in their Sc
lection of United States Senator, we
very much fear that their anxiety and
labors will not be SO highly apprecia-
ted by the Legislature whose duty it
is to elect a successor to "Flaxbrake. I"
Tt is surely nothing but the purest
love for the people of Southern Ore
gon that impels that very independ-
ent journal, the Oregonian, to urge the
claims of Williams upon the consider
alton of her members, and those gen.
tlemen were worse than ingrates did
they not SO view it. But men, as well
as republics, are ungrateful, and we
cannot hope with any degree of GER
tainty that the arguments used by
the very astute Oregoniara in favor of
Mr.. Williams will have any weight
with those Democrats who have been
elected by the people of Southern Or
Iegon to vote for no one but Demo
lcrat for United States Senator
Strong and fearful appeals were made
by the Republican papers Of the
State, prior to the june election, to
the people of Southern Oregon to
vote for none but Williams men, as he
was the only individual who could
suIserye their railroad interests but
the lachrymose prayers of these disin-
terested Radical journals were then
unheeded, and we cannot expect bet.
ter things from the Representatives oi
1 a people who are themselves SO heart
less. We certainly feel very sorry
for our Radical friends, and deprecate
the fact that their kindness has not
been better appreciated by the people
1of Oregon and their advice more po-
tent in aid of Williams and his Sena-

Is IowA.-We observe that on the
1fth ult. at Democratic Convention
OF the 4th Congressional District OF
Iowa, Hon. VIM. L. Smith was nomi-
mated for Congress. Mr.. Smith is a
resident of Oskaloosa. Mahaska coun-
ty, and is an able lawyer. It has been
our pleasure to know him from our
boyhood, and we have ever regarded
him as true Democrat, one who never
swerved from the ancient faith of the
party and ever added his vote and his
influence to bolster up its cause. Al
though wealthy, he is true friend and
noble champion of the laboring peo-
pie, and no worthy applicant for as
sistance or charity ever applied to him
in vain. No better proof of his De-
mocracy need be given than that he
now accepts the position of standard
bearer for the party when that Dis
trict at the last election gave the Rad
ical candidate $500 majority. His
personal influence will add great
weight to his party strength, and
whether the time-serving Stone or the
mercenary I,oughridge is pitted
against him, he will make bold and
manly fight in the cause of justice and
of right.

THE EUROPEAN WAR.

The news from the seat of war dur
ing the past week has been highly ex-
citing, and seems to bode nothing but
i'll for the French Empire. Napo-
Icons reverses have been as nncxpect-
ed and disastrous as his declaration Of
war was premature, and his tenure Of
Office as Emperor of the French seems
to hang on the verge Of dangerous
abyss. His inaction and hesitancy in
prosecuting the campaign to a vigor-
ous issue seems to have aroused the
public sentiment Of his capricious co.
pie against him, and manifestations of
discomfort with his course are daily
and hourly occurring among his rest
less subjects. Hundred Of thousands
of discontented "blouses" have been
haunting the streets of Paris and other
cities of France, for many years past,
swelling the Red Republican ranks,
plotting in the cafes, ready and eager
tor any opportunity to precipitate q
revolution upon that explosive people,
not so much, perhaps, because of Re-
publican proclivities. but because it
would effect change in their manner
of Government and vary the monoto-
ny which is ever unbearable to the
mercurial Frenchman. With nothing
in the world to lose by revolution, and
everything to gain by an opportunity
to call other peoples property their
own, they have long been rife for a
row, and are now casting furtiye glan-
ces at their favorite and traditional
weapon, the paving stones, to make
the Napoleon dynasty feel the weight
of their numbers and the spleen OF
their unrest II the Emperor does
not Immediately recover his former
vigor and reassert his imperial sway,
both in the armed field and in the
crowded cities, his opportunity will be
lost and his prestige and authority OBJ.
liberated. III there be any truth In
our advices from the scene of action,
another week of disaster and defeat to
the French army will reduce the once
proud Napoleon to the necessity oi

fight to save himself and his family
from a harder and sadder fate
Meanwhile the very reverse is the
case with the Prussians. Having the

RECEPTION OF HON. JOS. SMITH AND
EX-SENATOR STARK.
An Immense Crowd--.Speeehes Of Com
gresham Smith and Hon. Ben. Stark


Last night, about eight o'clock, the
the 23d Infantry Band serenaded
Hon. Joseph smith and Ex-senator
Stark in front of the st. Charles Ho-
tel. An immense crowd soon collect
ed, and after the band had played
several airs, Judge J. III. Reed step
ed forward, and in few pertinent re-
marks introduced Hon. Jos. Smith,
who was received with three hearty
cheers.
Mr.. Smith commenced his remarks
by expressing himself happy to be
with the people of Oregon again and
after thanking them for the high COM
pliment that they had paid him, Mr..
Smith said that he was just off q long
and weary journey, and did not feel
like speech-making. He compliment
ed the Democracy on the glorious VIC
tory they had achieved at the last
election; and although absent from
the State at the time, he watched the
result with great interest. The proud
est day of his life was when he read to
Congress the spatch received from
Gov. Grover containing, the result of
the late election. In speaking of the
effect of the victory achieved in June
last, he said if the Democracy were
true to themselves, the State would
ever remain Democratic. Mr.. Smith
said that it had often been asserted by
Republican orators and newspapers
that Democrat would have no influ-
ence in Congress. This he proved as
having no foundation, from the fact
that he had secured the passage of a
number Of important measures; the
first of which was the bill authorizing
the construction of bridge across the
Willamette river at this point; the act
to secure land grant to the West
Side road. Mr.. Smith said that If Or
egon had. been represented by q Re-
publican, the land grant for the West

table that stood in the centre Of the room
It was covered with gold. and silver, and
in the centre was the magical roulette
that determines the fate of thousands.
The little ball was whiking around, and
anxious eyes were watching its mysterious
movements. Nota word isspoken, but
there are throbbing hearts and intense
feelings Who were the principal play

ladies! Some were there alone, some
with their husbands, and others with
their sons and daughters. But the mystic
ball has fallen into the fatal pitt is
black (ooir), and the bank, by one of it's
four directors, who watch with lynx eyes,
is swept into its own capacious TILL. Fate
