LINN COUNTY FAIR.

The attendance on Thursday was
larger than on either of the two days
previous, but still did not come up, in
numbers, to the assemblages OH former
occasions gathered there. The show
, of articles i'll the Pavilion was in
creased somewhat, but not enough to
worry the worthy Secretary in making
the proper entries.
We might just as well say right
here. that the people of Linn county,
generally, seemed to take very little
Interest in the Fair, and although the
officers and Directors labored faithfully
to make the Fair success, they lacked
the support of the people. without
which no undertaking of the kind can
succeed. The general impression to-
day is that Linn county has seen the
last of her Fairs; at least we would
advise against another attempt, until
there is better feeling towards these
annual exhibitions in this community.
The grand attraction on the grounds
OH Thursday was the steam fire engine
belonging to Willamette Engine Co.
No. 1. of Portland. A ditch had been
brought on to the grounds from the
Santiam Canal to enable the engine to
give ap exhibition of her power. The
largest crowd of the week was gather
ed to witness the exhibition, adding to
the receipts and to the pleasure of
those i'll attendance. Willamette No.
l is a beautiful engine, and the boys
know how to handle her.
The attendance on Friday was about
the same as on Thursday. The Fair
virtually ended on Friday afternoon.
a large number of the articles OH ex-
hibition being withdrawn on that
evening.
We were not in attendance on Satur-
day, but learn that the attendance was
not as good as on the two previous
days, there being nothing to draw

The following communication from the
Democratic Parish Committee of st. Helena,

the Picay'lae and BULLETIN that st. Helena
bas never been overlooked, and forms no part
Of the overtlowed district of the State.
That our local floods never last more than

LOOK On THU.

Organs-Our Democratic friends, who have
taken charge Of the approaching election and
who are chiefly of the class of the more mod
ern or recent Democrats, ought to avoid some
Of the acknowledged and exploded errors or
mistakes Of that party in the past. The veter-
ans of the party are fully aware of these but
as they are all sent to the rear, they have no
authority or control in such matters
One of these mistakes of the party, and of
all political parties in this enlightened age, is
the having of what are called Organs Pre-
sumed mouth-pieces, to support the party
right or wrong, to flatter justify, extenuate
and indorse anything that is done by the
party, or any of its chiefs, to withhold wise
and judicious counsel, because it may be op-
posed to that of self-constituted leaders, and
to fail to reprove the bIunders and errors OF
that very tallible class Of human beings
known as politicians. This institution OF
organs We can inform our LEADERS has been
long ago abolished in all enlightened commn-
mites. 1t has been found to he equally as in
furious to the press and to parties Each OF
them finds the burden Of responsibility too
heavy to bear. No party can afford to dele
gate such important trust and function to
journals conducted by individuals subject to
human trailty, and no journal can WELD any
weight Or influence which has to present itself
to the people as retained advocate and fore
stalled champion Of a party Picaya,,e, Aug

SHAMEFUL.

! millions for defense. but not cent for

the good old days that are gone. The cry of
the Radical party OF to-day is. "The entire

Indians" Thousands of hardy and honest

and the blood Of the innocent victims is per

Let disturbance of any kind, however,
occur IN the South and, though the men who
suffer may richly deserve their fate, yell goes
up for troops, and the Government makes
haste TO prove itself military despotis,n, and
to exhibit its disregard Of the rights Of sover-

THE CITIZENS BANK.


Editor New Orleans Bulletin.
The recommendation of the committee ap-
pointed 10y the New Orleans Clearing House
Association to examine the atfilirs Of the Citi-
zens' Bank, that they do not deem it advisable
10 call on the associated banks of the Clearing
House for loan to enable the bank to resume
payment, is not sound financial doctrine.
The committee do but repeat what is said by
all that had the President of the Bank called
on the associated banks for aid it would have
been granted.
The Citizens Bank has one of the best
franchises Of any III the city. The charter has
thirty years to run, and is exempt from taxa
ton, both State and municipal The capital
is one and half millions. but one million is
locked up in eighty-tour plantations owned by
the bank, besides innumerable mortgages Oh
the best private residences in the Second and
Third Districts The deposit account now is
less than 100000, and daily decreasing by
the payment of notes with checks on the bank,
some falling due as late as November next
There is not bank in New Orleans or any
other commerc al city can stand run on its
deposits, and knowing this fact would it not
b: policy in the committee to rescind their
resolution and ask for loan to enable the
Citizens Bank to resume operations in q
moderate way, as the bank would then collect
two dollars from their assets where only one
would be realized under suspense on The
committee say the bank is solyen. 1t was
not found in that condition when Mr. Denegre
revived it twenty years ago. All that is now
wanted Is little energy and a resolution with
a good management to again bring back the
confidence once had in that noble institution.
New Orleans cannot now dispense with any
of her banking capital. Private capital has
stepped aside, or is locked upin municipal and
STATE bonds. The business of New Orleans
will during the coming season amount to from
four to five hundred millions dollars, and the
banks, with only five millions of capital, will
be strained to their utmost to accommodate
SO large an amount as will be required to move
the growing crops. ). H.
In using the term democratic and Con-
sentative" by the State Central Committee it

THE COMING STATE FAIR.

As will be seen by the following, we are to
have Grand State Fair during Carnival
week. As an inducement prize Of $4,000
will be offered to visitors. each admission
ticket emitting one to chance
We sincerely hope our merchants will enter
with spirit into this enterprise.
At the meeting of the Directors of the Me
chanics' and Agricultural Fair Association OF
Louisiana held on the evening of September
2, 1874, it was decided that the Louisiana
State Fair should take place on the Fair
Grounds city Of New Orleans, beginning on
the 18th OF February, 1875. and ending on the
18th of said month
Besides the large premiums to be awarded
at this Far and the privilege granted to ex-
hibitors to sell their exhibited articles While
the Fair is in existence, there will be a lottery
attached to it, the highest prize to be $50, 900
Another important feature attending the Fair
and Carnival will be the order of King Rex
that will inspire the officers Of railroads
throughout the United States to transport
passengers to and from the city Of New Or
leans during the Fair and Carnival week at
reduced rates

THE FEDERAL TROOPS.

The negroes and Radicals. who h0yf been
SO exultant and jubilant over the news Of the
coming of Federal troops to this State, will
be somewhat disappoin ed when they read the
following telegram. They will see that i; is
not the intention Of the President to use the
army for political purposes, nor as a body Of
police, to protect negroes in their outrages
and white Radicals in their depredations
upon the Southern white people.
NEW YORK, Sept. President Grant is re-
ported as saying that there is no intention on
his part to use Federal troops in any Southern
State, unless their services are absolutely
necessary to preserve the public peace.

DELINQUENT TAXPAYERS.

Under this heading the Times attempts to
show that large amount Of taxes is withheld
from the city treasury by the city railroad
companies. This is not 50. Instead OF OBJ
tanning correct information from the officers
of the companies, it rushes into prin with no
other authority for its statement than the col
umns of its political co-iaborer, the RepuJii-
ran. An interview with Mr.. WintZ, President
of the New Orleans City Railroad Company,
would have satisfied the Times that the taxes
of that company, amounting to $50, POI .
had been paid some time ago, and that the
other companies had likewise settled their in
debtedness to this city.
Why this unnecessary and malicious attempt
OF the Times to misrepresent the railroad COM
panies and other public institutions? If the
balance of its sensational exhibit of deln-
quent tax payers is no more correct than its
report OF the city railroad companies, then the
whole article may be regarded as a base fabr-
cation.
The abuse OF the white people by the 7in,es
its advocacy of the rights of the negroes, and
lastly, its warfare upon our public institutions,
are facts that are rapidly attracting the atten-
ton Of the business community. and it is
more than probable that their dsapprobation
of such course will be expressed in most
emphatic manner Let the Times pursue its
way and it will soon run to the end of its
tather
