It becomes our painful duty, this
week to announce the death Of Hon
w. W. Bristow, State Senator from
Lane county, which occurred at his
residence in Eugene City, at 7 80, A,
NJ, on the 8th inst, after an illness
of about two weeks. Thus is strick-
en- down, in the prime of manhood,
another ornament Of society, o useful
enterprising business man and citi-
zen; careful, safe and efficient leg
islator. Wa copy the following ap-
propriate remarks from the Oregon
ian, of the 9th inst, upon this sad
event:
We are called upon this morning
to make the sad announcement OF
the death Of another prominent citi-
zen Of Oregon. Hon. w. W. Bris-
tow, State Senator from Lane county,
died yesterday morning at his resi-
dence at Eugene, Of typhoid fever. -
He was taken with the fever while on
q business visit to the more south
ern part Of the State, but SO for re-
covered as to be able to come home,
and his final recovery was considered
certain; but o relapse hurried him
off to the grave.
Mr.. Bristow was 48 years of age.
He was born in Kentucky, and came
to Oregon 26 years ago, with his par
ents, brothers and sisters. The fam
lily settled early in Lane county, Sc
the deceased Senator was one Of Or
egon's pioneers, He was a member
Of the Convention that framed oul
State Constitution, and his frmness
and answering loyalty to his con-
yictions Of right won him the respect
and esteem Of that body. He served
the people in other positions after,
wards. and in 1872 was elected 9
State Senator for Lane county, and
served in that capacity in two ses.
sions Of the Legislature. His tern
would have expired in 1876 had MOI
death terminated it. He was Re
publican in politics, but too consci
entious in following his convictions
Of duty to be q strict party man. II
him more than to any other maj
Eugene City is indebted for the 10
cation there of the State University
and the aid obtained in constructing
the buildings. This institution wal
nearest his heart, and he labored fol
it with an earnestness and zeal tha
thought of no such thing as failure
Our personal relations to him wert
such that he often conversed with III
very freely on public matters, ant
he seldom omitted to mention in sucl
conversations some plan he had foi
helping along the State University
In all other matters, however, tina
concerned the prosperity, growth
and happiness of this young State
he took lively and appreciative in
terest. With clear views, strong
convictions, definite purposes, anc
an absorbing attachment to tn,
State in which he had spent all th,
years since his youth, Bristow wal
one of the men whom Oregon coulc
least afford to lose. But Providence
willed that he should go hence, ant
he Is cut down in the flower of his
manhood and in the midst of hii
usefulness.
With less poignant, but not less
sincere grief than theirs, we minglt
our tears with those of the bereaved
family of om dennrted frinnd

THE MAYORALTY.

Hon. j. W, Baldwin takes his de-
feat for the MayoNlty on Monday
very philosophically, He says he
told his friends who so persistently
pressed his name for that position,
that The Democratic party could do
bettor- that he was not the most
available man to be made a candidate
for Mayor. But his disinterested
counsel went for naught and he is
beaten He says il they can beat
him for Mayor, there IRE some things
they cant do, He says they can't
stop him from speaking or writing
Democracy, nor can they prevent him
voting the Democratic ticket. He
throws himself on hisreservod rights,
proposes to talk Democracy, write
Democracy, and vote for none but
Democrats.
He authorizes us to return his
thanks to the friends who SO nobly
stood by him, and for such Demo-
Gratis as were on the "swOp," he en-
tains none but the lSindest feelings,

s,ELEMENTs OF THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY.p

PARTY"
In the Salem Statesman Of the 3D.
inst, in an editorial under the cap
ton at the head of this article, we
find this paragraph:
1t is quite within bounds to say,
that at least six-tenths of the worst
elements of society belong to the
Democratic party; the records Of the
courts and penal institutions will
show that, and it is not worth while
to argue or dispute about q statistl-
cal fact. y Eight-tenths Of
the grossly ignorant belong to that
political division"
We agree with the Statesman edi-
tor, that, sit is not worth while to
argue Or dispute about a statistical
fact, be we deny that, "the records
of the courts aud penal institutions
will show that "six-tenths Of the
worst elements Of society belong to
the Democratic party" Why does
the Statesman editor not give the
reader his statistics, ttat he may be
able to draw therefrom his own con-
clusions? Broad assertions prove
nothing. But, as we happen to be
in possession Of the requisite statis-
tics, we propose to give enough to
prove the Stdtesmd,a's declaration to
be wholly without the slightest foun-
dation.
The statistics accompanying the
census reports Of 1860, show the fol-
lowing startling facts; The eighteen,
then free States, contained a popula-
ton of Is, s,917,755, and the Court
Calendars of these eighteen States
showed, for the year ending June
80, 1860, S2,348 convictions for
crime, or, A 3-lO persons to every
thousand. The same record shows
that the other fifteen slave States
contained q population Of 1920
593, and the Court Calendar showed
the conviction OF 7 7,151 persons in
the same year, or $500 Of person
to the 900 of population. We will
take another example; Massachu-
sets is reported, OF the time referred
to, to have had d population Of l ,231, :
O66 and the Court Calendar of that
State showed convictions for crime
in the same year, II, ,732 persons, OF
10A to the l 900 inhabitants. Vir-
ginia, at that time, had d population
Of 1 1,596,31S and her Court Calen-
dar showed COS convictions for crime,
in said year, or about 3S-1OO of a
man to the | 600 inhabitants. Take
other States, North and South, OF
nearly equal population. Maine
1,2l5 converts in the year named and
Arkansas 200 convicts for the same
year. New Jersey ,645. and Mary
land 2S3.
A step further in social statistics.
Up to 1860, not q divorce had been
granted by the Courts or the Legis-
lature in South Carolina since the
formation Of the Union Of the States
under the Constitutions. The Court
Calendar Of Massachusetts in 1868
showed 1,500 divorce suits for that
year. The relative pauperism in the
two sections Of the Union in 1860
show a more startling difference than
do the figures as to crime. The Is
free States had 296,479 paufers,
against 23, ,904, in the slave States.
Truly, Mr.. Statesman, ''it is not
worth while to argue or dispute
about a statistical fact" but it is
"worth while" to have statistics, and

Il M AU1TCAL ANECDOTIE.

The following incident was related years
ago by an old veteran who served with
Nelson at Trafalgar, and who was with
Jack Shaw at the time spoken of. 1t may
have been seen in print, as it is u matter
of history, but that need not deter the from
relating it
Jack Shaw, an eccentric old skipper, had
command of Jamaica ship called The
Good Hope. 1t was ship in the last stage
of tinseaworthiness, and about on it's last
voyage. She was pierced for eighteen
guns, and had once carried them but
now she had only one solitary old iron car
ronade on board, to be used in case OF need,
as a signal gun. 1t was during the ramp
age of Napoleon that Captain Shaw sailed
from Jamaica to England with a cargo of
rum. He entered the Englishichannel just
at dusk, and saw Suspicious looking sail
standing easily towards him. With a
powerful night-glass he made the stranger
out to be a French corvette of twenty
guns.
'Boys," said Shaw, ''that fellow is bound
to overhaul us, and he'll succeed if he
tries. If you'll stand by me we'n play him
a trick, and, perhaps, astonish him.
The men, five-and-thirty in number, en-
tered into the spirit of the pilot cheerfully
and eagerly.
The big old fashioned pumps were bro't
up, and sawed into appropriate lengths to
represent guns, and also a spare topmast
was cut up and daubed with black paint.
These dummies were run out at the ports
on one side, and numbered with side-t tackle
and breeching enough to give them the
appearance, in the gloom, of a stamping
battery. There were old lanterns enough
on board to afford one for each log of wood,
and, with lighted candles in them, they
were hung up in the ports for battle Lam
terms. This was on the starboard side.
On the larboard side was the old carronade,
loaded to the muzzle with cartridge.
When all was ready the Good Hope
hauled on the wind, and ran boldly along
side the Frenchman. The carronade was
discharged to wimdward with tremendous
roar, and at the same time the swinging
ports were raised, displaying a formidable
crow of teethj' dimly illumined by the
DdJIl6 lanI6lllS- ana IlSll O!u CndW. from
the horse block, yelled through an enor-
nous brass speaking
Surrender, or l viii blow you out of
water p
The utter audacity and boldness of the
movement succeeded. In the darkness of
the night the Frenchman thought surely
he had been overhauled by powerful ship,
and deeming himself at disadvantage, he
surrendered. Capt. Shaw, leaving his own
ship in charge OF his chief officer and di-
rectiug him to run straight for PlymOIth
harbor before daylight and not until tho
day had broken, and the frOwning guns Of
Batten and Hoe bore full upon him, did
the deluded Frenchman suspect the trick
which had been played upon him.
Jack Shaw had been n national charac-
ter before, but he was a hero now, and
loud and lasting were the praises bestowed
upon him.

monster up to the top, when the woman
next door made another and moro remark

What's that?" screamed the man, who
was so fixed that he could not very we'll
see the pen, and was obliged to lift his
voice to make himself heard above the din.
''Them amt my pigs" screamed the wo-
man. ''Why amt they p he yelled.
''Cause my pigs are here" she shriekeds

the use of subterfuge. Ne,0s.

and thinking to himself; and then he got
the frog out ana pried his mouth open
and took,,a teaspoon and filed him full of
quail shot-flled him pretty near up to the
chin-and set him on the floor. Smiley
he went down to the swamp, and stopped
around in the mud for long time, and fin
ally he ketched frog and fetched him in
and gave him to the felleT, and says
"Now, if you're ready, set him alongside
of Dan'l, with his forepaws Just even with,

planted as solid as an anvil and he couldn't
Smiley was a good deal surprised and he
was disgusted, too, but he didn't have no
idea what the matter was, of course.
The fellow took the money and started
away and when he was going out at the
door he sorter jerked his thumb over his
shoulders-this way-''I don't see no p'ints
about that frog that's any better'n any
other frog
Smiley he stood scratching his head and
looking down on Dan'l long time, and at
last he says, Il do wonder what in the ma

there amt something the matter with him;

'Why blame my cats, if he don't weigh
five pounds - and turned him upside
down and he belched out double handful
of shot. And then he see how 1t was, and
he was the maddest man you ever saw
He set the frog down and took out after
that feller, but he never ketched him.
