AN Ironton correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette gives the follow
ing pen picture of our candidates
for Congress, and of the sly work
! one of them is doing:
They are also counting hosts on
Vanee's personal popularity. 1t ia
trne he has the externals of a GEN
tleman. He always wears pleasing
exterior. He treats his friends and
opponents alike to his blandest
smiles. He is accompanied general
ly on his rounds by some old topper,
whose duty it is to do his drinking.
He never eats buttered watermelon.
lie is rs wise as a serpent in some
things. He coils himself around the
heart of an unsophistocated voter as
gently as the tendrils of the ivy.
He can nestle himself in the bosom
of miner or woodchopper like a
cooling dove. His speech is oilv, and
he assumes intense interest in the af
fairs of everybody, while in his heart
he does not care fig for any of them
except as he expects q return in
votes.
PERSONAL CONTRAST.
Henry S. Neal, his opponent, is
different sort of man. Vance has
the appearance without the reality.
Neal the reality without the appear
ance. Mr.. Neal has not the slightest
element of a demagogue in his ma
ture. He would not make much of a
Sam Cary. Nature has not endowed
him with the power of Discrimination.
Unfortunately he wears the worst
side out, but in point of ability and
integrity he is by far Vance's su-
perior. Neal is thoughtful and con-
siderate friend to all classes, and is
as true as steel to his convictions.
That is the reputation he bears
wherever he is known. Under all
Vance's suavity one can readily dis
cern hypocrisy deity concealed.
| have learned, from good author
ity, that Vance has employed two.
private secretaries, during his term
IN washington, to correspond with
leading workingmen in the District
upon various subjects. These letters
are private, and bear Vance's name.
They are scattered over the district
to secure the influence of this class
in the coming election. 1t is said he
has spent his entire salary in this
way. We have the misfortune TO
know one of these secretaries, n man
named Weiner, who made himself
obnoxious in this county year or
more ago. Weiner has written let
,ers purporting to be from Vance to
Ill the workingmen in the district
whose address he can procure from
'ostmasters and acquaintances. 1
IN inclined TO think that when the
ecipients of these letters learn their
eal author and their object they will
ote for Henry :. Neal, who is inca
'able of any such deceptio".-----

A Coloref Teachers Fate.

From the Declaration (Colored organ).
Rev. j. M. Giliard was a minister
of the African Methodist Church.
He was besides teacher, and was in
charge of seminary belonging to
that body and located in Austin,
Texas. His duties as q clergyman,
called him to q small town called
Hills Point, where he was assailed
by band of ruffians and in manly
way defended himself. For this he
was arrested on charge of assault
and battery and confined, not in Jail,
but in an clubhouse attached to the
hotel of the village. An armed
guard was placed over him. While
lying on his back, reading, band of
men, not masked, they don't take
that trouble in Texas when only
colored man is to be murdered, rode
up and shot him through the body
twice. One shot proved almost in
stantly fatal. OF course no effort was
made to arrest the murderers who
were well known, although the better
part of the community, as usual,
frowned on the deed.

The Ham-Erican Race,
BY oRpHEus C. KERR.

Twas by the wayside, near Southern
town,
1 spied a sage beneath tree reclin
His old straw hat was guiltless of {
His pantaloons had less of cloth thai
lining.
Addressing him about the latest news
l quickly found him, by his saluta-
A man of boundless and erroneous
views,
And vast and various misinformation.
81 reckon you're a Yankee, come, y
said he,
"Upon some sneaking mission or
other,
To see how being equaliZed and free
Agrees with him you call your col
ored brother.
Extinction waits on him, with all his
rights,
SO freely given by your laws con-
founded!
He'll keep attacking the defenseless
Till all the colored race are killed or
wounded.
"In New Orleans-behold the lesson
taught.
When in convention certain blacks as
sembled,
A sound of peaceful throngs outside
was caught,
And in the halls the blacks blood
thirsty trembled;
Then through the windows, lobbies,
outer gate,
By the unarmed Caucasian race sur
rounded,
The Freemen rallied in their murderous
hate,
And nineteen colored men were bad
ly wounded.
"In Central Georgia, several months
ago,
The sons of Afric held loyal meet
ing,
And divers white men went to see the
show
And give the speakers friendly South
ern greeting.
But 10! when speaking had gone on a
spell,
And all the air with loyal words re-
sounded,
Upon the hapless whites the negroes
fell,
And nineteen coIored men were badly
wounded.
'In old Virginia, at rural place,
Where many Africans had come for
voting,
The merest handful of the higher race
Were looking on, and minor matters
noting;
When at a cry about some vote refused,
The blacks infuriate on the handful
bounded,
Their knives and pistols mercilessly
And fourteen colored men were badly
wounded.

There were, in journals of the proper

Correct reports of what should move

The town election rallied countless
blacks,
Who, armed and maddenod, and to
riot bounded,
Made on the unresisting whites attacks,
And fifteen colored men were badly
wounded.
yet, Furthermore; of late, in Tennes-
see,
Where Stokes was beaten at the polls
by Senter,
The savage negroes, armed from head to
knee,
Seemed on fight than on their votes
intenter;
70 vent some petty, diabolical spite,
Jpon the plea of some vague charge un-
founded,
They turned i'm fury on a single white,
And sixteen colored men were badly
wounded.
THE race Ham-erican is dying out!"
The sage concluded with dismal ges-
ture;
Ind left me victim of amazing doubt,
While he went onward in his ragged
gesture.
f Southern whites, unarmed, so deadly
are
TO Southern colored men full armed
and banded,
low much more fatal would they be by
far
If by the Reconstruction laws un-

HEALTH.

This continues good; and no coun-
try can show healthier set of young
folks than Oregon can. Many of
the old settlers come here from the
West, with broken down constitu-
tions. Some of them become sound
here, while others have poor health.
/ will state what I have often said,
that Oregon is one of the healthiest
States in our Union. We have no
prevailing malignant diseases here.
Temperate, careful people may rely
on good health in this mild climate;
pure, bracing sea breeze, cold and
pure water and no sudden, violent
changes in the temperature of the
weather. My folks have need Of
cooks, but not of Doctors. L have

HIGH WATERS.

An immense amount Of snow fell
last winter on the water sheds of our
great mountains to the +. and n. Z.
of US. The hot. weather set in four
weeks later here than usual, and i'm
mense quantities of water have come
rushing down into Lewis and Clark S
Runs lately, and the mighty Colum-
bia, alias "The Oregon of classic
fame--has attained an altitude of wa
ter never known here before this
time.
In Portland--12 miles up the
Willamette River from the Columbia,
the back water was II inches higher
than ever seen there before. The
two front streets, and all the build
ings were inundated with water. The
damage to the city is upwards of one
hundred thousand dollars. The
crops On both sides of the Columbia
and the lower Willamette Rivers are
destroyed, and most of the fences
washed away.

l gave false colorings of this coun
try. They say that the half was moi
told to them.
L have nothing to retract of all
have ever written or said about Ore
gon. tits true that many immigrants
come here expecting too much.
Many OF them seem to think that il
they can just reach Oregon, they will
find homes and supplies almost
gratis. 1t is true that in cases of
extreme distress, no people are more
sympathizing or liberal than the
Oregonians. But in the common af-
fairs of every day life, each one is
expected to paddle his own canoe.
And, in fact, there is not always
that warm friendship and sympathy
shown to strangers on their arrival
amongst us, which they expect or
should receive. Too many immi.
grants on arriving here crowd into the
towns, along the rivers and railroads,
and there expect TO tind employment
or information which they need.
They should strike out into the rural
districts, if they are farmers gar
deners or dairy men, where they will
find hearty friendship. l have sent
out over 500 pamphlets descriptive
of Western Oregon lately to persons
in the States. Perhaps SO of them

THE SEASON.

This has been strange, even for

May Goth, we had "mists" more or
less. But little snow or cold weather,
and no hurricanes, nor very high wa
ters till within three weeks past. The
farmers were backward in sowing
and planting here, and much of the
tillable lands went over to summer
fallow. The fall grain looks well,
and the season has been very warm.
Showery and fine for grain, gardens

The Republican journals have just dis
covered that Governor Tilden was a
Credit Mobiierite. 1t is new disCov-
cry. Nothing of the kind was found out
a few years ago when the matter was be-
ing investigated in Congress, But they
say Mr.. Tilden was employed as lawyer
for the Credit Mobilier company of
Pennsylvania. This may be true and
perfectly legitimate. The corruption and
infamy connected with the name was
the villainy perpetrated by members of
Congress, high in position, in defrauding
the United States government out OF
millions. All this was done by act Of
Congress ess-MEMBERs VOTING MILLIONS INTO
THEIR OWN POCKETS. In this business
were implicated such men as Oakes
Ames, Rev. Gen. Garfield, Schuyler Col
fax and Others. How Samuel j. Tilden
can be any way responsible for this Con-
gressioual villainy we cannot under
stand. He was not in Congress, nor
even lobbying about Washington. Of
course it is vile canard so far as impll'
eating Mr.. Tilden in any wrong.
