GONE EAsT.-And now it becomes
our duty to chronicle the departure
from among us Of G.. H. Baber, one of
our oldest citizens and one of the pio-
neers of this county. He is well and
favorably known throughout the coun-
ty as one of our staunchest citizens,
an honest and upright man. He
started last Monday morning for Vir-
ginia, his native State, where he still
has some relatives living, and expects
to make that his home in the future.
That the Judge may have a pleasant
journey. and enjoy happiness to the
greatest extent when he arrives at his
destination we know is the wish of
this whole community. He has left
David Froman as his agent to settle up
his affairs.

THE "WILLAMETTEs." LAST Fri
day morning the "Willamette's" con-
cluded to give our boys another exhi-
bition of the powers of their steamer.
Accordingly it was set at the cistern
in front of the st. Charles Hotel, and
when it got under headway astonished
even the "Willamettes," by throwing
stream 2SS feet through a II inch
nozzle. About IL o'clock the Portland
boys, headed by the Albany Band and
escorted by our fire company and a
large delegation of citizens, marched
to the depot, and secured their engine
on fiat car for the return trip. After
everything was put in readiness for the
trip, speeches were called for from sew
eral members. Messrs. Chapman,
Hallock, Algoe, and others spoke on
the part of the Portland company and
were responded to by M. V. Brown,
JCs. Weber and VIM. Benjamin. At
this time the train came along and
amid the most deafening cheers carried
the "fire laddies' away. For the opin-
ion of the members of the Portland COM
pany as to the manner in which they
were treated while in this city, we refer
the reader to the resolutions adopted
by them and published in another col
umn of to-day's paper.

BRooMs,-Mr. w. d. Beldlng has
got back from California and has again
settled down in this city, this time
with the intention of making it his
permanent residence. He manufactur-
ed the first brooms in the city, and
when he left had acquired quite a rep
utation in that business. He is now
engaged in the old business at the old
place in the Metzler building, near
Fosters mill, and is turning out large
quantities of handsome, durable brooms.

PARIS, June 3-In the Assembly to. day the
debate on the Electoral bill was continued
NJ Ledru Rollin made the principal speech.
He denied that the Assembly had the rig bit to
alter the franchise. The present system of
general elections should not be touched, nor
should any other be substituted therefor The
plebiscitum, which some invoked, wasa parody
on universal suffrage.
At this point there were loud protests from
the Bonapartist benches and cheers from the
Left The noise and confusion was so great
that the speaker could not be heard for some
minutes When the excitement had subsidized
he resumed.
Abiding to the failure of the majority to re-
store monarchy, or even form of government
he declared that the Assembly being powerless
to constitute monarchy should maintain the
Republic, which had never been seriously tried
and he concluded by urging speedy dissolu-
ton of the Chamber.
Ex-President THEIRS to-day received depu-
tatioo of Frenchmen from Peru, aud, 10 reply
to their address, said he believed in the main
tenance of peace.

The Senate has passed a bill appointing COM

reports of the bank and its branches compelS
the conviction that the administration OF Its
affairs has beea very inefficient. The bank
seems to have habitually violated the provision
of its charter prohibiting it from making loans
except upon real estate, and out OF the total re-
sources ofs3 ,227, $40, the amount $6l2, l37.76
is composed of assets of this illegal character
The total deficiency is estimated at $5S2, 47O.6l
or 10 other words, the net resources to meet
liabilities of $685., S96.l6, amount to only
