WM.B.CARTBR, EDITOR. OREGON. The Grangers jn the vicinity of Dallas are going; to celebrate the Fourth of July.

Caterpillars by the milions are making their appearance in the vicinity- of La Grande. '7 A heavy tornado stirred thO JPendleton; Tribune office op pretty lively. The dev il was in it. The berry season has commenced at Salem, and' the aborigines have put in-their appearance as pickers thereof. Messrs.

Charles Simpson, and, C. P. Church, have purchased the warehouse lately owned by C. B. Comstock atr Albany.

The price paid was $4,000 cash. I George Marshal, of Junction, and Charles Goodchildof Eugene, have purchased the woolen factory at Ashland. The Albany Democrat says there is connected with death of Perry Her-ren at Salem, a dark chapter that has not yet come to light, arid probably never will. The Pendleton Tribune of the 23d says Several thousand pounds of wool, of this years clipping, belonging to Bowman, Cram. Jones, passed through town on the 10th, for the Portland market.

The Grange at McMinnville is making arrange ments for a grand Fourth of July celebration and picnic, to'be held on the camp meeting grounds, one mile and a half north of that place. Recorder Jlerren, of Albany, telegrapli-ed the following from Saleni to a friend in Albany My brother's death was caused by a pistol-shot in the head, and in my judgment it was the work of an assassin." i The election of officers of the Willamette Manufacturing Company, took place at their office last Monday, with the foN lowing result: Directors John F.

President of the Board and Managing Agen John F. Miller; Secretary, Samuel R. Irwin. AVERY'S ORGAN. The Salem Mercury, of last week, had a scathing article upon our fellow-townsman, Hon.

J. C. A Very. We don't approve of tile style of that art tide, but it is just what Mr. A.

Might have expected when he turned reformer," so suddenly, and threw off on hjs old confederates in Democratic trickery. To an outsider, it looks as though they were making it exceedingly tropical for Old Intrusts," as Bush used to call him. In the commencement of this campaign, when we charged that Messrs. Avery, Green B. Smith, and other great lights" of Democracy were coqueting with the "imove," we were denounced as a "elanderer." Mr.

Avery, only a few days before heVbought'the Democrat establishment and turned its guns upon Gov. Grover, stoutly denied to us, that he had anything to do with the "move," and said he was "NOT IN POLITICS at all." If he was not in politics' how oomea it that he bought out his partners, Messrs. Smith and Maj. Bruce, subsidized Head, and has been 'laboring to make the people of this county be-lieve that the Democrat is in the ki-terest qf the move And while 1 this has been going why, is it that leading men in the move," at least those who think themselves leaders, have been constantly denying that Avery, Smith were the power behind thetbrone The answer is easy, simply because of the unpopularity of these men who had been rampant Democrats so loDg as it was to their interests to be so, but who had now changed their tactics, hoping thereby to secure favor with the com moo people, farmers, with whom they have not a particle of sympathy beyond that exhibited by the wolf for the lamb. The peo pie of this county understand this matter perfectly well, and hence these political schemers have been working in cog.

as much as possible. And now they are using every means in their power to break down the GAZETTE, prevent farmers from taking it. If we had remained dumb and the ballot-box and elevate designing and unscrupulous men to place and power. entire political enginery of the present day is corrupting and demoralizing in its tendency. No matter how true and good a man may be, in his private life, if he is nominated for office, forthwith attempts are made to blacken his character, and ruin his reputation.

For this purpose the press is subsidized, and mercenary mountebanks, for gold, harangue the people. Of all such, let the voters of Oregon beware. On next Monday let every voter in this State untrammeled by party lash and uninfluenced by mercenary motives or considerations go to the polls and vote for the besl men those who are really in sympathy with the best interests of the common people the tax-payers and all will be well. That is true in- DEPENDENCE." One word i to Republicans about this move" "this arrangement, which, in this county, is controlled and manipulated, by J. C.

Avery, Green B. Smith, Major Bruce and other' leading Demoorets. They have managed toet in just enough Republicans to give the move" tone, with Republicans, as they thought, but to leave the management entirely with the "honest and pure" politicians above named, while they were loudly proclaiming that the old political parties were dead, and that they were NOT IN POLITICS Just when and how this move" first saw light in this county, is sot necessary to repeat here. When the; calls" were which we gratuitously published, we took occasion to show that itiwals a Democratic trick" and charged, that C. Avery Co.

were at the bottom of it. This was indig nantly denied. But the denial was not heeded the people, and forthwith Mr. Avery bought out his partners (Messrs O. B.

Smith Maj Bruce) and flopped the Democrat" plump into the Movement' and all the wrath and indignation of these pure patriots, and SELF sacrificing Grangers! is now heaped upon the Ga zette, simply because we would not prove tractor to the Republican party and sing paeans to Avery, Smith Co. This is the sum of our offending, and hence weak-kneed Republicans are besought to stop the Gazette: and take OUR PAPER" the paper that for fpur years past baa been rob- bing the Widows and orphans of this county Under the act to protect litigants. If Republicans are disposed to doubt our statement, let them take the so-called independent People's Ticket," printed lor use next IM on-day, and see bow many real, boon fide Republicans are upon it. Facts are stubborn things, -and every voter should lobk at the FACTS, as they exist, and not take the say so of any scheming, office-seeking politicians. i Lv.

Close or Campaign. With this issue we close the' present political campaign. We have! heard numerous compliments upon the Corvallis papers for the honor able and gentlemanly; manner in which they have conducted the present poltical campaign. So far as the Gazette is con 5 cerned, we have carefully guarded 3 Columns and eschewed everything of defamatory character relative to the candidates for the various offices. We have taken pains to inquire, particularly, into the private; character of every candidate on the Republican ticket, State and county, and find then to be honorable; com petent, and trustworthy men, whom the people jrill delight to honor.

We desire to see every man on the Republican tick et elected, and for this we have earnestly and zealously labored but in so doing we have not descended to falsehood and scurrility. The time! has passed when a man's private character and moral reputation should be pWciened abd ruined in order to accomplish his defeat for office. The tickets of all parties, this year, so far as our observation extends are, in the main, composed of good men. Because a man is a preacher, lawyer, doctor or farmer, is no reason why be should be maligned and abused, if he is "worthy and well qualified" otherwise. We want good men for office and such we will have, if every voter will go the polls next Monday and do his duty.

What does this mean Does any intelligent voter of Benton county believe that this was a MERE OVERSIGHT Of course not this is a trick" of Avery, Smith to defeat PETER WITHERS, Re 'A publican an intelligent, honest, and well-qualified man for the position, and elect W.

H. Jphnson a Democrat. Gr6en B. Smith, J. C.

Avery, John Foster Maj. Bruce and other leaders of this are more in terested ia the Assessor than in all the other offices combined. We do not charge that they CAN manipulate Uncle Harry" but we do affirm, and they know it full well, that they CANNOT manipulate and control Peter Withers, and hance this trick" to secure xhis defeat. Taxpayers of Benton county you who do not pay one hundred dollars, or more, taxes the masses of the peoplethink of this matter seriously and candidly and then vote for Mr. Withers whose every interest is in common with his brother farmers.

UUAXGE PICNIC. Last Thursday we had the privilege of attending a pleasant basket picnic given under the auspices of Orleans, Peoria and Shedd Granges P. of near -the Willamette church, in the grove of Perry Preston. About three' hundred persons were present. The day was cool and pleasant, but the morning looked rather' forboding, which doubtless prevented many from being Speaker's stand, seats for the audience, and everything for such Occasion had been provided by appropriate committee.

iThe programme was announced by Wru; Wiu-n'mg Secretary of Orleans Grange. The first exercise was an opening ehoru8, The Brooklet," by a select choir, led by Prof. Wallace which was well rendered. After which Prof. oseph Ilannoa was introduced and delighted the audience with an able and eloquent address, in which he paid a handsome tribute to farmers and extolled the "dignity of Labor.

After another excellent piece of music, an intermission; for dinner, was announced, and the display of chicken" and good things did the ladies of Linn great credit. We had several pressing invitations to dine, but as Mr. J. A. Wrenn's was the first, we eai chicken" with him, and as Mrs.

Wrenn and her; daughters, assisted by Mr. W. and the boys, spread out the contents of several well filled boxes of luxuries on a neat white table cloth, on the green grass, it was a sight that would tempt an epicure: It is not necessary to that we did ample justice to the occasion and gave occular demonstrations of our appre oiation of the culinary skill of Mrs. W. ao'd her Friend Le- land, the who! kindly took us over and brought us back in his buggy, enjoyed the hospitalities of Mrs Wm.

M. Powers, and although he complained of looking feeble," it was no fault of his hostess, if he felt" so. After dinner the audience was fa vored with more music aud a rousing address by the emaciated" Hermit of Oregon jCity. As a slight testimonial of appreciation of the speaker an impromptu collection, amounting to $12 25, was taken up for him, which he credited to the G. L.

of Good Tern-plars, as he does all his collections. After some further music, and a display of some showiog the terrible effects of rum, by Mr. Lelaod, the large audience dispersed some to their homes, some to political speaking at Halsey, and the young men and Hannah" to the singing schoof at thejWilIamette church. It was a rare treat to all who enjoyed it. These Granger picnios are doing a grand and noble work in the way of socia bility in Oregon just what farmers and everybody else Excursion.

THE COMING ELECTION. On next Monday, the 1st day of une, A. D. 187-4, the people of Ore-- gon, through the ballot box, will de cide the destinies of the State for four years, and that of the several counties fof two years.

The same party issues -and principles that have been contended for from the foundation of our Government to the present time are today appealing, in trumpet tones to the people of these United States, and history ia repeating itself in our nation as in those nations, empires and kingdoms that have risen, flourished and fell.

He declined, to accept the nomination, btj as no one else would accept that suited the Convention, allowed his name'to be used. It is desired on this candidate, to see the real strength of the temperance element unite and show to the various political parties what they have to contend with in the fu ture.

We confidently expect for Mr. Turner a large vote Temperance Star. In a review of the. 1 Temperance Ticket, we find the above extract in the Star of the 7th inst. Mr.

Turner is a man of integrity and a personal friend of ours, whom we have known for years. For these, and other reasons, we would not say: one word against him. But. while this is true, we cannot understand why the Tem perance nominating Convention should have ignored Mr. E.

M. Waite, the Republican nominee for StatePrin ter, when he is known to be a thorough temperance man. We have had an intimate personal acquaintance with Mr. Waite for more than twenty years and can vouch for his temperance record. We are the more1 surprised at Mr.

Turner's accepting the nomin ation from the facttthat he sought the Republican nomination, but the Con Tnr vention gave.it to another. Mri ner, under the circumstances, can not hope to be elected and may. defeat Mr. Waite. TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCHES.
