STATE FARlIER'S UNION DISBANDEp,
The State Farmers Union met at
Salem last Monday, and there being
only few persons present, and the
conviction gaining ground that the
institution had been generally
ed by the Patronsof Husbandry, Mr..
John Mimic introduced the following
resolution:
ReSoloed, That inasmuch as since
the organization Of the State Farm
ers' Union, the organization of the
Patrons of Husbandry in this State
has been effected to such an extent,
and having in view the same general
objects, together with the means of
carrying them out to such degree
of perfection as to render the longer
continuance Of this Union unneces-
saly, we therefore advise that the
Presinent and Secretary of this I'm
ion take such action as is necessary
to inform the various clubs and 9TH
Ell bodies of farmers of their proper
ton Of indebtedness incurred by
former meetings of this Union; and
we hereby recommend that such in
debtedness represented III the Union
be paid by each sending forward by
mail to the Secretary, and that when
snch indab tedness shall be paid the
Secretary shall hand over to the
State Grange the books ior its use.

ENaL1sH census returns for 1871
show that there is q gradual increase
in tho length Of human life ON the
island. A few decades ago the aver.
age life Of the Englishman was repor-
ted at 25 years: now it is IA years.
Notwithstanding this fact, for such
we take it to be, there are less aged
people in England than America.
It was not long ago that an English
writer stated that he did not believe
that there existed in the civilized
world person who had reached one
hundred years, but we have in this
country several well attested instan-
ces where one bundled and ten and
even one hundaed and twenty years
have been reached. At the present
rate of increase it will bo some time
before England exhibits many Me-
thusalehs, but it will not be long be-
fore men will live their three-score
years and ten.

THE cnAMproN rnInp

Gen. Howard, chief of that pro-
digious Radical fraud, the Freed
mans Bureau, must have been a great
thief. A clerk in the employ Of Gen.
Bullock, Chief Disbursing Officer of
the Bureau under Howard, says it
was his duty while in tho service Of
the Bureau, to examine vouchers,
each and every month, and also to
make out the pay rolls. He AYERS
that horses and carriages for the
private use Of Gen. Howard, mem
bers of his staff and summer vaca-
tons for his favorite clerks, including
their travelling expenses, were pro-
vided and paid for with money be-
longing to tho Government. The
wife Of Capt Staden, member of
Howard's staff, was put on the pay
rolls under her maiden name. How
ards coachman was put on the pay
rolls, as was also the wife of Capt.
Girard, while she had no appoint
ment and did no duty whatever. In
conclusion, be states that there are
many other Irregularities which ought
to be made public, and he volunteers
to give his testimony before q COM
mittee at any time.
The OregOfaian, commenting upon
this erpose, pertinently remarks:
eff full faith and credit are to be
given to the letter received by the
committee who have under investiga-
tion the case of General Howard,
from "a gentleman now O resident of
Baltimore but formerly q clerk of
the Freedman's Bureau, the Gener-
ais largo defalcations were not his
worst crimes. What this witness
proposes to testify, would show How
ard as q mean petit-lagceny thief, as
well as defaulter on a Narge scale.
The small peculations necessary to
send Instantly and his fayorite Clerks
on summer tours, without expense u
him are indeed vulgar crimes; but that
of carrying on his pay rolls the wives
OF members of his staff under their
maiden names, while they had no
place in fact in the actual disburse-
ments Of the Bureau, is not vulgar
only, it is disgusting. And in the
meantime what part in the matter
had Captains Staden and Girard, the
names of whose wives are reported
to have been used as the instruments
of this deception and theft? Were
they cognizant Of the facts, and did
they pass it over in silence2 Or did
they share the stolen money with
and thus become accessories
to the crime? Let us hope the ex-'
clerk is u malicious slanderer; for
that, even, is less revolving to con-
template than the actual and truth
full opening to the light Of such
den of uncleanness as this expose
threatens. 1t does seem about time
The bottom were reached in digging
up the atrocities of official Life"

Mn. WILSON, Of Indiana, has in
troduced a resolution in Congress
declaring that Congress shall pass nc
law providing for the assumption by

debtedness Of any state, territory OF

eral government shall loan neither
money nor credit to any individual

Much deserved abuse has fallen
upon the heads Of those members Of
Congress who voted for and took the
money provided by the increased
salary bill commonly known as the
back-pay steal; but the parsimonious,
avaracious, conscienceless President,
at whose instance and with whose
connivance the bill was passed
who signed the infamy and who
drew the lions share Of the spoil
has thus far escaped, to a great de-
gree, his measure Of censure. Even
those so-called s'independent" Re-
publican papers, who lash the lesser
villains of their party with merciless
fury, have spared Grant with mex
cusable favoritism. And now the
last act Of favoritism is exhibited in
the shape Of the report Of the com
mittees to whom the several repeal
ing bills were referred in Congress,
in which they very considerably
leave the Presidential salary at $50, :
900 per annum, on the ground thai
the Presidents salary cannot be de-
creased during the term Of office for
which he was elected. This is a
most shameful piece of humbuggery,
as well as a bare-faced robbery of
the people. President Grant came
before the people in 1879 for re-
election, promising to perform
certain services, as ho well knew
being fixed by law at $4,000 per
annum. His express contract with
the people was to perform the serv-
ices Of the Office at that price. There
was at that time no talk OF an in
crease OF wages, and nobody dreamed
that such a measure would be resort
ed to by Grant and his confederates;
and now that he was reelected he
had no more right to thrust his
hand into the treasury because he
concluded he was earning more than
that for his employers, than had
those Congressman who have been
SO thoroughly damned for their part
IN the fraud. We hope the Presi-
dents share of the plunder will be
taken from him as well as from those
who, if any difference exists, were
less guilty than himself. He certain
ly does not earn more than the other
Presidents who came before him,
and who were nearly all able to save
something out Of their salaries.-
Even Abe Lincoln, Grants immedi-
ate predecessor, during the extrava-
gent and Eeckless years of the war
was allie to save $4,000 from his
earnings as President.
This is no time to pamper officials
with heavy salaries and unusual
luxuries. Almost daily the tireless
wires flash to us the startling news
OF the increase of the public debt and
the sore straits into which many
parts OF our country are driven by
money panics and "hardN times. +"
In this state of things the moAt rigid |
retrenchment should characteriAe the
Legislation of Congress, and finaHSial
reforms should be inauguratcd m
every branch of the public service /
from President down to the hum
olest official in the land.

Work was recommended at the coal
mines Of the Pancake Company on Mon
day last. The shaft at present is at the
depth OF 3l7 feet, and is now In three
feet Of good coal. The shaft is o be-
ing extended another 100 feet, when tho
first level will be established, and a drift
run for the purpose Of stopping. The
second level will DO stationed 100 feet
below this one, which will allow q suifi-
cient quantity OF coal TO be taken out
for the present Fall and Winter. Tho
machinery is in fine working order, and
but little water has thus far been en-
countered. Ten men aro at present EN-
ployed. and nothing is now being done
but sinking the shaft. The vein shows
well. and promises an almost ine1haus-
