A great discovery is said to have
been recently made by q Surgeon of
the British army in China, in the
way of an effectual remedy for small.
pox. The mode Of treatment is AZ
follows:
When the preceding fever is at
its height, and just before the erup-
ton appears, the chest is rubbed with
croton oil and tartaric ointment.
This causes the whole Of the eruption
to appear on that part Of the body, to
the relief Of the rest. 1t also secures
a full and complete eruption, and
thus prevents the disease from attack
the internal organs. This snow the
established mode of treatment in, the
English army in China, and is re-
garded as perfect cure"

The Constitutional Convention
Question.

y
The New Constitution of Iowa pro-
vidcs that in the year 1870 the cues
ton shall be submitted to hepeople,
whether or not a Convention shall be
called to after or amend the Constitu-
ton. 1t makes it the duty Of this
General Assembly to prescribe the
regulations by which the senseo of the
people shall be taken. The people will
be called upon todecide the question,
and if in the affirmative, then the
Legislature shall determine the man
ner OF choosing the delegates. Four
teen years have elapsed since the
present Constitution went infoopera-
ton. Since that time perplexing
and doubtful questions have arisen
by antiquities in that instrument,
and towns, cities, and counties have
been seriously crippled and emhar-
raised. A network OF railways has
been created in the State, completely
altering the old conditions The
word s.whife- is stricken out Of the
Constitution so far as suffrage is con-
cerned. but the right 10 hold Office
under the negro suffrage amendment
Is seriously questioned by intelligent
men in both political parties. The
State is out OF debt, and il Is neees-
sary 10 determine from the expert
enee Of other States what organic
provision is required for restraint up
on reckless legislation, looking TO the
borrowing of money for questionable
public purposes. A vigorous effort
is making 10y large body OF our peo
pie to strike the word naalen from
the Constitution, SO as 10 give the
right of suffrage to the noble women
of the State Of Iowa. The subject OF
minority representation is OF great
importance, and in a Convention
should receive thorough examine
ton before either adoption or rejee-
ton. Mere majority government
was decided advance from the au-
tocratic and aristocratic forms, bat
experience and investigation have
discovered that il is only path TO
perfection in Republican institutions.
There ought to be a full expression
of opinion on the whole matter; and
we call attention to il thus early that
the interval may be employed in OBJ
tanning full understanding Of all its
bearings. NonpursiI.

Hon. W ns. LOughrfdge Oh the
81. Thomas Treaty.

The following is an extract from
Mr.. Loughridge's Speech in the
House on the 22d ult:
The country is informed, unofiici-
ally, and there is no doubt of its
truth, that an agreement was entered
into, / will not call it treaty, on the
oath Of October, 1867, between the
President Of the United States and
the King of Denmark, for the pur-
chase by the United States of the Is
land of st. Thomas, for which it was
agreed that the United States shall
pay to Denmark for said island the
sum Of $7,500,0OO in gold, which
would be equivalent at this time to
over nine million dollars in currency.
This island consists of about forty
four square miles Of rocks, earth
quakes and volcanoes !; indeed, we
are informed by the authorities of
Denmark, as an excuse for delay in
vote taken by the people Of the is
land as to their ratification Of the
agreement, that the delay was caused
by earthquakes which compelled the
pOstponement Of the election; and
yet for this island we are to pay $500
per acre if we carry out the agree
ment. The agreement has not yet
been acted upon by the Senate.
What action that body may take is
immaterial for If ] do not misun-
derstand the feeling OF the House, no
appropriation can be obtained for its
payment. For one shall neyercon-
sent to vote a dollar for that purpose;
and deny ''in toto" the power Of
the President and the Senate, with
out the consent Of the House Of Re-
representatives., TO incorporate foreign
countries and foreign people into this
Government. If they can admit st.
Thomas they can admit st. Domingo
and Mexico aud the South American
States. This power is not included
In the "treaty making" power, and
in no sense deducible from it; and
explicitly do ! deny the power of the
President and the Senate to appro-
pirate money from the Treasury
without the consent OF the peoples
Representatives; and this the last
House Of Representatives solemnly
declared, after full discussion on the
Alaska purchase, by majority OF
two to one In full vote; and, sir,
the sooner this mania for the acquisi.
ton of foreign territory is puta end
to the better for the county.
I trust the motto Of this House will
be millions for the defence Of what
we have, but not one cent for the
purchase Of more.

tho opposition from securing an
another ruinous hold upon tho reins

LINN COUNTY FAIR.
Tuesdav---First Dav

.
This morning "old Soln arose in all his
majesty and grandeur, and a clear sky
throughout the entire heavens greeted his
welcome appearance. The recent rain had
dispersed the hazy atmosphere and settled
the dust of the roads, and all nature seemed
'excrting herself to render the opening of
the Linn County Fair .propi.ious one.
We did not visit the Grounds until in the
afternoon, when we found the usual num-
iber of provision booths, peanut stands and
lager beer shanties in their accustomed pla.
'ces and the majority of them already cater.
ing to the demands of the restless crowd.
The only race to-day was running
match of 8 year olds. one mile, contested
between Isaac Mansfeld's gray marc, and
D. NJ. Donley's sorrel FLY. The horses
had On .eyen start, but shortly after tho
''.urn loose'' the gray mare became wholly
unmanageable. and, flying the track and
making short circuit of the rough ground
between tho north course and the Judges
stand, ran furiouslv against the guard fence,
precipitated her rider violently against tho
fence, aud tore through the railing and out
into the field at reckless speed. Her rider,
nm falling, struck the fence and bruised him.
self considerably, but fortunately was not
seriously hurt. The sorrel filly made the
mile circuit in 2:S5 and after the gray
mare was caught and another rider procured
she went against the filley's time and won
the race, making the home wire in 2:o7.-
This was the only race of the day, and camo
near being failure and ending with tras-
edy.
At the Pavilion the display was probably
not so good as the first day of last year.
though we observed several articles of in
terest already ON exhibition. There were
the ever-present washing and sewing ma.
chimes, besides large map, some beau
tiful shell work vases of an original pat.

Probably the Democracy of Oregon
never had n greater cause for self
graduation than the election ef Col.
Kelly, as United States Senator, on
last Tuesday, affords them. In the
June election the national politics of
each party were paramount subjects
of discussion, and Williams was held
up by the Radicals of Oregon in that
campaign as the embodiment of their
political creed. It was even under
stood that they were willing to sacri-
fee every other Office for which the
two parties were contending to secure
a Williams Legislature and return
their great light to his seat in the SEN
ate. And to carry out that consume
ton the claims of every other candi-
date in the State were made subsery-
lent to their Legislative aspirants.-
Votes on State candidates were readi-
ly "swapped' for votes for Legisla-
tors large amount of Congressional
corruption fund was forwarded from
Washington and judiciously distribu-
ted throughout the State /; Holiday,
with his millions of treasure and myr-
lads of satellites, was brought into re-
QUESTION and his nomadic voters were
shipped into doubtful counties with
a boldness born of desperation.
But all this availed nothing. The
people, long since surfeited with the
Williams style of craftsmanship, had
resolved to repudiate the trucking
demagogue and signally rebule his
adherents and admirers who had re-
sorted to the basest corruption to Sc
cure his reelection and with that pur-
pose they sent up handsome work
ing majority to the Legislative Assem-
bly,. But even there the Democratic
members were not free from these
Radical manipulators, and every OPP
portunity was sought by the newspa-
pers and wire-workers of the Will
liams party to create division of SEN
timent in the ranks of the Democracy
and a consequent diversion in favor
of Senator Williams. But at last
the day for work arrived. and
the Democratic members, true to
the people who sent them, true
to their promises in the CAM
paign, and true to the great cause Of
justice and right for which the Peo-
Piles Party have ever striyen, stood
firmly and unitedly to their post, and
east O solid vote for the Democratic
hero, Col. jas. Kelley. ; It was well
and nobly done. and we propose
