HEAR THEM HOWL.

Last Thursday the Legislature, after
having devoted more time to the met
ter than ever Radical CONGRESS- did in
similar cases, applied the frontispiece
of its pedal extremity to the posteri-
ors of the Radical members from Ben
ton county, and " boosted" them from
the seats which they have been allow
ed too long to warm by their pres
enee. And as a consequence howl
of rage has gone up from the whole
mongrel press of Oregon, from that
very respectable metropolitan jour
nal, the Oregonia,s, down to the NANCY
stump-tailed Ensign away up in
Uumpqua. If there ever was an act
performed by q Democratic Legisla-
ture or law-making body which met
the approval of the Radical press we
have never known il; and consequent
ly it was expected that the disposal Of
those contested cases according to the
rule of justice and right would not be
endorsed by them but after the
Wholesale practice which has obtained
in Congress, since the Radicals have
had the power in that body, of refus-
ing admission to any Democrat whose
seat happened to be contested there,
we certainly did not expect that Re-
publican papers would lave the cheek
to Trate of " unjust and unwarranta-
BILE action" on the part of the Demo-
cratic Legislature in kicking out those
who had come there through the
grossest frauds upon the ballot box
and against the earnest protest Of a
majority of the legal voters of those
contested counties. It was proven
beyond poubt, by the affidavits OF
respectable citizens of both parties,
that fifty illegal votes were cast for
the Radical candidates in Benton
county, as there was also sufficient ev-
idence to show that large number OF
actual voters were refused admission to
the polls by Radical judges Of election
because they were known TO be Dem.
ocrats. After careful leview of the
case, and patient hearing of both
sides, the Election Committee ascer.
tanned that the Democratic candidates
were entitled to the seats by fair and
ample majorities, and they were con
sequently giver the seats which had
been usurped by the Radicals.
We are greatly pleased to observe
that justice is being done in the mat
ter of these contests, and that botl
sides have full hearing and a fail
and equitable adjustment" of thei
claims to seats; and it is also musi
in our ears to hear the Radicals how
with rage and despair, for then w
know that honesty is triumphant ane
yilliany meeting with just punish
ment. a lt i-

ASKING FOR 4 DISSOLUTION. From
the fact that Josephine county is fall
ing off in population and unable lon
ger to support county organization,
large number of her citizens have
petitioned the Legislature to dissolve
the county and merge it into jackson
county. The petition will probably
prevail, and the youthful though un.
f,rtunate Josephine will be stricken
from the maps and it's identity swallow.

MAINE AND VERMONT ELEC-
szss TIONS.

In the above named States, elections
were held on the 12th of September.
but the telegraph managers, in hum
Bile imitation of the great horse
trainer and hound pup fancier, Ulysses,
have observed such a remarkable reti-
cence about the matter that we have
never been informed as to the actual
result until the Atlantic papers came
over the mountains during the past
few days. ssaqa3 f,ed a.f5'
J 0fcourse no one expected that those
two strongholds of Radicalism would
go Democratic, but the belief that
the heretofore large Republican ma
iorities would be materially reduced
has not been erroneous, as the sequel
shows. There is SO great reduction
that Democrats all over the land may
well rejoice at the result.
Last year the Republican majority
in Maine was TITS, while this year
it is only 5000 q reduction of one
half off the Radical majority in one
year, and if the same feat is repeated
at the next annual election the De-
mocracy will have rescued the +" Pine
Tree State" from Radical rule. Every
town in the State shows Democratic
gains, and in some places they are
heavy enough to amount to a revolu-
ton in politics. The City of Bangor
gives majority for the Democratic
candidates for the first time in its mu-
nicipal existence. Lewiston likewise
reverses her colors In Portland the
Democratic gain is nearly 1000, and
the city elects two Democratic Repre-
sentatires out of the five.
Vermont is probably the most Rad.
ieal State in the Union in proportion
to her population. but this year even
out of the Egyptian darkness of that
State the Democracy have been able
to show an occasional white spot
They have not only gained on the
popular vote of the State, but viii
send over twenty members more te
the Legislature than they had las
year. Thus it is shown that Yankee
dom is no exception to the rule which
has .predominated throughout ever,
State which has held elections during
the current year, demonstrating con
clusively that the great tidal wave o
Democratic success is fast overtakinl
the worn-out hulk of Radicalism ant
will soon sink it beneath the surgin;
waters of public opinion.

A New ALLY.-It seems that the
Radicals have new and valuable
ally, of which they are doubtless
proud. Woman's Suffrage was adopt
ed last year in Wyoming Territory,
and this year the Republican candi-
date for delegate to Congress was
elected by about one hundred majori-
ty. A correspondent Of an Iowa pa
per says that the 50 fancy women" of
the Territory voted, =" to man, and
that there were over 100 of them who
supported the successful candidate
They were " down on" the Democrat
ic candidate because he was an old
slab-sided Presbyterian and wasn'tup
to snuff r. g..

write you a line.
Our party from Albany, consisting Of
Mrs. Delazon Smith, Mrs. Geary and son,
Thos. G. Taylor, my wife and myself, left
San Francisco on yesterday, the Goth, MI
well and in good spirits, on our way East.
The cars thus far have made very good time.
We have passed some very prosperous
looking towns to-day. These towns, ] am
told, are supported by the mines in their
vicinity, and il could not be otherwise as
there Is not even garden visible, so that
everything that is consumed must be brought
to them by the railroad. .0'i5A'
We have travelled all day down the Hum.

We left Ogden on the 22d. in short time
entered Echo Tor Webber) Canyon, which is
one Of the most notable curiosities which
the traveller encounters on this trip. The
.Pulpit Rock" and Devils Shade" are
such structures as will almost convince the
mos. incredulous that the ingenious hand Of
man had something to do with their con-
struction. 4 H
After passing through several tunnels
near the upper end of webber Canyon, we
ascended Wasatch Mountains. on o level
plain on the summit Of which 10 situated
Wasatch Station and Coal Mines. These
mines are very extensive and furnish coal
for all the towns and stations on the road
from Omaha to Humboldt Valley.
Leaving wasatch Station, we passed over
rough. mountainous country to Green
River Station. Here, while the cars were
taking in coal. all Of the passengers were
out looking for "moss ssa,es," which occa.
sionally arc found lying on the surface Of
the ground in this vicinity. .-'
! The next point of any importance is Lar
annie City, which Is q handsome town oi
about the size of Corvallis. Three miles
east. and on the railroad, in broad and
beautiful prairie, is located Fort Sherman.
This is the summit Of the Rocky Mountains,
and here we found f.ssh snow which had
fallen the night before.
Descending .he Rocky Mountains for IS
miles, we arrived at the beautiful city oi
Cheyenne, the capital of Wyoming Terrific
ry. The town il about the size Of Albany
and is handsomely located.
From Cheyenne to Omaha we passed ove'
a large exten, Of beautiful country, but ,h,
rains for few days previous had renderst
the atmosphere 40 cold and chilly that th'
scenery was scarce enjoyable.
Our party thu. far are all in good healti

CoMING BAcK.-Last spring when
Mr.. Sam. Simpson made such sud-
den political summersault and at one
vault went from the Democratic ranks
plump into the centre of the Radical
arena, we did not believe that his soul
was in his leap; but were quite sure
that as time elapsed and he had suffi-
cient leisure to. contemplate the de-
plorable condition in which his aero
batic feat had left him, he would
again return to his first love" and
again hang his political and poetical
harp on the Democratic willow. The
following extract from last weeks
Gazette, of which Mr.. Simpson is now
the editor, predicting the certain and
speedy downfall of the Radical party,
fully confirms our former opinion in
regard to his political proclivities:
eft is the growing beauty of our goverrme n.
that the wrongs of the present cannot be eternal.
We can look forward, with confidence, to q time
Hnen the tyranic party OF tne nour Will De snorn
Of its purple, and the people, for few years
crushed down, will spring up again, erect and
free. The haughtiest despots that the world ha.
known sprang from the ranks Of the people, and
have labored and suffered with those whom they
afterwards delighted to oppress."
We welcome Mr.. S., with all his
beautiful and correct imagery and all
of his poetical genius, back to the
outstretched arms of our painting De
= mocracy. and assure him that his re
cent eccentric emigration to the .ssty
ranic party of the hour" shall not de
tract from, his merits as future La
borer IN the Democratic vineyard.
