wIrHDRAwAL OF n. M. COOK.

In another column Of this paper
we publish letter from D. M. Cook,
Esq, Withdrawing his name from the
Independent ticket as q candidate
for the State Senate. Mr.. Cook like
many others went into the Independ-
ent movement with the best of mo-
tiyes. He had no thought Of discard
ing his democratic record, and going
over into the Republican party.
His object was to aid in reforming
the abuses which have crept into the
politics Of the country during the
last decade. With this view he per-
mitted his name to go before the
Independent County convention for
this county, and he was nominated.
Since his nomination facts have come
to light which satisfies him that the
Independent movement is simply a
ruse Of the Republican party to de-
feat the Democratic ticket, and
reinstate Republican rule in this
State. So clearly is this fact seen
that there is a general drawing off of
Independent Democrats throughout
the county. All honor to Mr.. Cook,
and those who have had the manli-
ness to act up to these convictions of
right. AS soon as the infamous
working of the Republican Ring is
made known there will be q general
drawing off of Democrats from the
hybrid ticket.

AN INFAMOUS pRooEEDNo,

1t is now well understood that the
mission of H. w. Scott to this city,
last week was to post Republicans in
the swapping business. Every
Democrat on the Independent coun-
ty ticket is to be snapped off for
votes for the Republican nominees.
Dick Williams is also to be traded
for votes for Tolman. Everything
is to be subordinated to accomplish
the one object of electing Tolman.
With Tolman Governor, the crea-
lures of the ring have show for
bread and butter for at least four
years more. COyuse-eyed Mallory
will then have charge of the Peniten-
tiary instead of the Penitentiary
having charge Of him. The Custom
House at Portland, and the State
House at Salem will work together
to fleece the people and enrich the
Ring VIII the people of Oregon
assist in the consummation Of this
villoinous object9 If they do We
shall lose confidence in the capabili-
ty of tho people to govern them
selves.

AN INCIDENT OF THE CAMPAIGN.

One day last week when the Cub
ernatorial candidates spoke in Polk
county there was displayed from the
verandah of Col. Nesmith's house
large banner, on which was printed in
large letters the words "HU RRAH
FOR GROVER !" The main road
leading from Salem to Dallas runs
through the center of Col Nesmith's
large and well cultivated farm. The
Colonels house occupies prominent
place near the road, in one of the
most picturesque portions of the
county. Hundreds of farmers Jog
ring along through that lovely por-
tion of the valley to hear the speak.
ing, some on horseback, others in
their wagons, caught sight of that
banner, and gathering sudden inspira.
ton from its silent appeal, arose
from their seats and, swinging their
hats IN the air, shouted back, "Hurrah
for Groverp Democrats, Graugers,
Independents, and even some straight
Republicans, could not resist the i'm.
pulse that day to greet the banner
with responsive hurrah. 1t was a
singular incident of the campaign, and
the effect was singular A class of
persons have sought to create the i'm
preston that between Col. Nesmith
and Governor Grover there has been
growing GOODNESS, arising out Of La
Dow's nomination, which they have
wrongtully attributed to the latter,
and these facts addedito the sugges-
tiveness and touching character OF the
incident.
The banner was the work of one OF
Col. Nesmith's fair daughters, who
Thus upholds the flag of Democracy
in the field, while her honored father
Is at the post of duty to which the
voice OF that party called him. There
were no speeches made at Dallas on
that day, nor has there been one made
in the canvass, so effective as this
banner and its inscription-Miss

Eaisor Democrat.
In the Oregonidn of the inst. F.,
some fellow in this county, writing
over the signature of Independent, !"
says "the fact of the county (Linn)
being in debt $35, 900 as reported by
one of the commissioners, instead Of
$4,000, as reported by the Clerk,
is causing huge disgust" &c.
Who this fellow "Independent" is
l do not know, but do know that
he has published an unmitigated
falsehood. 1t is not fact that one
OF the commissioners reported that
this county is $35, 900 in debt, as 1
have been assured by both of them
that they never made the statement,
and as they DIRE honorable gentle
men, their word may be relied upon.
Now as to the facts:-on the first
day of July, 1873, the assets and
liabilities of Linn county were as
follows:

PROBABLE FINANCIAL LEG1sIArIou.

A canvass of the two Houses Of Con-
gress has been taken in reference to yroba-
bic legislation on the currency question.
The Senate is opposed to expansion, and it
is no. considered probable that the House
will favor any radical change IN present
laws. 1t may be considered certain that
the bill taking from the East the surplus
currency and supplying the deficiency in
the South and West will pass. 1t is al
most equally certain that the free banking
features of the bills before the Senate and
House will become law. Free Bank
ing simply means that any association of
capitalists who desire to bank can
buy United States bonds and go
into the banking business the same as men
now engage in making irop or selling
goods. The law in detail provides for Sc
curing the notes issued and making the
basis of all financial operations the gold
bonds of the Government. This plan leaves
the supply ofcurrency to be regulated by the
demands, giving to it the elasticity the
laws of trade require and the stability and
national character necessary to make it
acceptable all over the country. 1t is also
probable that the provision of the House
Banking and Currency Committee bill al
lowing banks without circulation to or
ganze with $4,000, or more capital will
pass.
As for specie payments, it is difficult to
say what legislation will be enacted. Some
Of the friends of hard money say they will
be satisfied with any measure that recOg-
nZes distinctly that the faith of the Gov
eminent is pledged to resumption of
specie payments at the earliest practicable
moment. The last National Republican
Convention in Philadelphia pledged the
party to favor an carly resumption OF coin
payments. No one proposes that this shall
be done at once. The plan most favored
is something akin to that proposed in Mr..
Maynard's bill, which Is to issue every
month one or more millions of treasury
notes redeemable in coin on some fixed
day. When that redemption day shall be
| is the difficult point to settle. Some favor
| two years, some three and some one. 1t
is not improbable that in some such way
as we have indicated, Congress will fulfill
the faith of the Government, and provide
| for an early future redemption of its paper
| in coin. These are the probable features
Of the financial measure as 1t will pass
Congress at this session.

THE WOMEN VS.. WHISKY.

A movement has been organized in cer-
tain localities i'm Ohio, among the ladies,
for the suppression of the liqaor traffic.
At Hillsboro, Vienna, Greenfield, Pome-
roy, Williamsport, Dayton and other
points, the women have gone in force to
the bar-rooms, and with their prayers and
entreaties have achieved some wonderful
results. Through their, fundamentally,
persons engaged in the liquor traffic have
voluntarily given up their business, and
pledged themselves never to engage in it
again. Quite an excitement prevails ia
these localities, aud the newspapers give
whole columns in detailing the mode o.
operations and the results. The latest we
haye seen from the seat of war is Paris
dispatch from Ripley, Ohio, dated Feb.
9Th, which reads as follows:
Under the superintendence of Rev. j. II.
Patch, of Circleville, the ladies oil this
place have formed a missionary band for
labor in the temperance reform. There
have been nearly one hundred women I'M
der the leadership of Mrs. Granville Moody,
Mrs. Mcmillan and Mrs Weeks all day.
Under their prayers and tears and the
power of God, liquor sellers have pledged
themselves to abandon the business. There
are still some who have thus far refused,
but all are kind and respectful to the ladies'.
The public sympathy for the cause of the
women is intense. The power of these
women, with God on their side, is wonder
full. Men who were at first inclined to
make sport of this movement have ac-
knowledged their mistake in tears. All
denominations united freely in this work.
The men gather in prayer and the ladies
work, a tremendous mass meeting is now
being held in the Presbyterian church.

THR ENGLISH ELECTIONS.


The proceedings in England for the past
four or Ave days serve to teach the world
that the English people are hardly capable
of self government We think we have
exciting scenes in this country on election
days, but it has not been the case often,
that ballot boxes have been taken posses
sion of and carried away by a mob, though
they have frequently been stuffed We
must take into consideration also, that
none but those belonging to the "better
classes" are allowed to exercise the right
of suffrage in England. I occurs to us
that the rag tpg-and-bob-tailp element
could not behave themselves more dis
gracefully than the "upper-ten" have
been doing. .-.. ,-'......... ..T r
a short time since, soon after Mr. Glad
stone had offered bill in Parliament
looking to the extension Of the right of
suffrage to, agricultural laborers, Pu9ch
contained most insulting cartoon, in
which agricultural laborers were made to
appear az ignorant rs possible But if they
We're altogether as ignorant as Pinch
would make them appear, they would GER
tainly exercise the right of suffrage as in
telligently as the mob alluded to in our
dispatches this morning. It is not always
the case that the man who owns the most
property votes the most discreetly.

II is the old story over again, with but
little variation. Mud, mud mud wherever
we go. The fact is, Knoxville is thorough
ly blockaded. 1t is next to impossible for
wagons TO reach the city with anything
like a load. Thousands of bushels of corn,
wheat, potatoes, &c., are kept out of the
Knoxville market just as eflectually as il
the city were enclosed with stone wall
The mud is everywhere, and anywhere
from four feet to knee-deep, 1t is of al
most every quality, from the stiflest and
most tenacious to the thinnest and sloppi-
est. There is no help for it now, We
have endeavored on sundty occasions to
call the attention of our people to the hu
initiating fact that We have no roads
fit to travel over in the Winte-
time, but they seem content to live as they
have been living and endure the mud

their farms are almost valueless, and that
their farms are likewise decreasing il
value, while they never seem 10 reflect

The UNION AND AMERICAN SPEAKS FIRST


The Union and american comes up with
commemorate promptneas to answer our
inquiries, propounded few days ago, as to
how long it will take the Democratic
party to purify the body polite in
this State. 1t will be remembered that
the Democratic party has held unlimited
sway since October, 1860, and as this pro-
cess of publication has been going on ever
since that time, according to the testimony
of Democratic politicians, and as the Jack
son wing and Tribune says we still have
wasteful Expenditures of public revenues,
we want to know how long it will take to
make the corrections 50 much needed.
The Union and american starts out with
lot of "buncombe' about the large re
duction that has been made in the public
debt and the great improvement in the
State credit. We have shown frequently
how this debt was reduced, and as to the
difference in the price of our bonds, they
ought to be worth more with five years
and half accumulated interest, ifthey are
worth anything at all.
Abiding to the Judiciary question the
Union d,ad american says:
But the Democratic party, as a party, is
not responsible for our present judges, out
side of the Supreme Court. While in
many instances in East Tennessee, the
Radicals have made the election of judges
party issue, such has not been the case
with the Democrats of Middle and West
Tennessee.
That is about the coolest thing imagin-
able. The Democratic party mot respOn-
sible for our present Judges indeed!
Every one knows, that one of the first
things done DEB by the Democratic
party when coming into power, was to
call convention and turn out every Office
holder in the State. And it is also fact,
that in every single circuit and chancery
division i'll the State where the Dcmocra-
cy had a majority, they elected Democratic
Judges. We defy the Union and Amcri-
can to successfully contradict this asser-
ton. .rnurHrrr l.s..
And then we would like 70 ask the Lnj0n
and ADcrican another question 1t in
sinuates that IN East Tennessee we have
Radical Judges for which the Democrats
are not responsible, and that here is where
the "wasteful expenditures" are made. Are
[ the expenditures made by the courts in
East Tennessee more extravagant than in
| Middle and West Tennessee? Tell
us ust how this is. The principal editor
of the Union and american is also Comp
troller of the Treasury, and in position
to answer this question, and we trust he
will do it. Let US know where the ex.
| travagant expenditures arc made.
The Onion and American has answered
| promptly, for which it has our thanks, but
| its answer is not full and satisfactory. We
hope to hear something more.
