Fourteen Oemocratic and six Ilepublicau Congressmen are 1'ARTUILAM OF THE MORGAN rilllRE. It appears that the failure of the house of Morgan's Sons in San Francisco was due to outside speculations ct one Wal-cott, manager of the concern. Wralcott is son-in-law in the Xew York Morgan family, and came out to San Francisco with strong letters ot recommendation, upon which he established extensive credit with the London and San Francisco Bank, of which Milton S. Latham is the head. The extent of his operations hav-inz become known to the bank, Latham sued out writs and closed the house, on attachments for $355,000.

When expn-ed in all its dimensions and proportions the canoe was found to be of unu-ual sie. handsomely and almost ornately shaped, and except as regard the stern, in the most perfect state of preservation.

for the diameter at the hroade-t part of the canoe tho stern was very nearly li ve feet, interring a circumference ol 15 feet at that, part of the trunk of the tree when cut. The extreme length of the canoe from the to the tip of the figure head is 45 feet: tl.e shape ofthe boat tapers gently from 'he stern to the prow, and the breadth, thereof, ranges from 5 feet at the stern to about 1 at the neck of the figure-head. The depth ol the canoe varies lrom feet. The 'ides are from tbi'i'i jtiartcrs of an inch to "2 1 inches in thickne-s. i each side, and alxmt an eh or so beneath the top ot it.

there are yen perfectly circular holes for oars or paddles, showing that the boat was maimed by twice that number of rowers; hut whether they sat, or knelt, or-tood at their work can only be conjectured, for there are unseats or any appearance ot sitting nccomntoilatio: either along the sides or the bottom of the boat.

At the prow a small flight of steps from the top to the bottom of the canoe has been carved in the solid oak. but this niu-t have been intended less for u-e than ornament.

The piojectiwg figure head is remarkable. It is rough but undoubtedly well executed imitation ofthe head of a -ea-hor-e or other monster ofthe deep more or less mythical. The cut water below the ligui be ad is careful- ly finished, and at the nc ot the tigure-, head is a large bole through whiih a rope might be run to or-ecure the vessel.

Citizen Sam I'lolt.

A person can hardly be a lrequent attendant at the law courts without witnessing some amusing incidents. One or two such oeeur to me at present, some of which I saw and part of which I was an actor in. A few years ago I had occasion to reports case in the Probate Court of San Francisco, in which several medical witnesses were called and examined as to the origin and results of delerium tremens. It was the case, I think, of the estate of M. A noted toper of San Francisco, now deceased, who used to be generally "known by the name of "Citizen Sam Plat'," was counsel on one side of the case.

The last medical witness called and examined was Dr. Mc n. Piatt was examining him, and asked the who is somewhat of a wag to "give his opinion, as a medical man, as to the causes and effects of delerium tremens." "Well." said the "my opinion is that the disorder in question is noi, so mucii ny excessive drinks, in the ordinary sense ot the term, as bv tho continuous sipping and sipping of stimulants, morning, noon ami night." i Citizen Sam immediately looked up the judge, and said, with the utmo-t gravitv. 'Hhitfs vv cusp, your meaning simply that he had no more witnesses to call that his case was elo-ed. The judge, jury, and the entire court were convulsed with laughter.

The learned counsel was sadlv pu.zled at this display of merriment on all sides, and looked around the court with a bewildered expression to if lie could discover its snntve. in thi-he turned and appealed to Cutlcr'jIcAlis-ter. who sat by him. McA. explained to him the extraordinary confession lie id made as to his drinking habits.

And then Sam joined in the laugh as heartily as any of the listners. Mmri Witness. Iii another case in which I was professionally engaged a witness had been summoned to give evidence respecting circumstances under whieh a will had teen made. He had traveled a considerable distance and had been detained tome days in the city wailing for the cise to In? called. On taking the witness stand he declined to be sworn until his expenses-some seventy-five or a hundred dollars had been paid.

It was in vain he was assured by tlie parties conducting the ease that his claims would be duly met he insisted on thepiivilege to which witnesses are entitled, receiving fee-and expenses before U-ing sworn. "Can't you take my said a weailhy banker, one of the parties to the snit. "1 will take your cluck." said the witm-s-. perfectly unmoved. The details of Ins claim were then mad': out, handed in and examined: and after some little delay, a check was given to witnes, for ll.e amount whereupon in; was sworn.

"Xow, sir." said the ex amino counsel. will you tell the court and jvry what you know about the ciivimitai.ci.s under which this will was mailer" assure you" said the witness, "that I know nothing at all ofthe suhjejr. "You may get down sir-" said lli'coun- sel. amidst a roar of laugh! iuci on a I mi and lhe witness, with pocket, lelt the stand. his" dice in hi- Reporter's Perhaps the most rediculous that ever was made in taking testimony in 1 a court of law I made myself.

In I was engaged professionally to repo the case ot Clarke vs. Fremont in the 12tii District Court in San Francisco, Judge. O. C. Pratt presiding.

The suit as one growing out of the Mariposa property. It seems that Fremont had promised to pay Clarke a large sum of money lor the peaceaMe delivery of the posses-ion of the really to- getlier with some improvements ii the; way of machinery etc. thereon. Mark Brumagim a banker of Sail Francisco. was ou the stand testifying to soui eon-versation he had with Fremont aim it tl.e matter.

And the qne-tiou was a-ke 1 him what reason, it any, Fremont had as-igned for not giving Clarke his obligation fur the i amount promised "Well." said Biuma-; gim "Fremont was engaged in large transactions at the time and was afraid if he gave CiarUe his note that he wou'd put it on the market." To make security doubly sure, as la wyes sometimes will do, the same question was a-ked. only in a dil- i ferent shajte. half-dozen limes, and the; same answer "tor tear he'd put it on the market," returned. A situation like this is one in which a itness generally he- comes somewhat irritated answering the Mine question so often, and either raises or lowers his voice. The witness on this i occasion dropped his voice to scarcely an audible hisper, in an-waring.

and ju-t at that moment a truck lo ided with iron) rolled by on the colil.ie stones in front of the cotirt-rooiu. which entirely drowned i what he said, and I thought his answer! was "for fear he'd fm-k it rf nt w.i( ANtoiilliiiisc lteulls. Now, you'll ohserve there is about the i same number ot words in j.nt it mt and in 'hack it at and the sound especially hen uttered in an undertone is pretty much alike. So I wrote it "buck it off at monte." The case was an equity ease that is, a lse tiled before the court without a jury And the Judge in this instance is one of. the most dignified gentleman in the world i the very soul of propriety itself.

Sat-! urdays are Usually "law days" in the courts ot San Francisco, and thp courtrooms are generally full of lawyers on these days to hear decisions in eases in which i hey are interested. Judge Pratt decided the case in favor of the plaintiff. Clarke, and cited the testimony on which he based that judgment from the reporter's notes namely, that Fremont had acknowledged to Ilruniagiu that he was owing Clarke, and the rea-on why he didn't give hi- note for the amount was that lie was afraid would it "jf at One mii-t have been in that court-room to imagine the scene. Lawyers jolly Pratt graveas an owl, and. Clarke, the plaintff, "mad as a march hen." When we got out on the street I had to get out ofthe way of a "sharp stick" in the hands ot the fellow whom I had made a gambler of hether he would or no.

The lawyers, however. Ind-t. to thisday that the report wa-n't a slander. 1 don't know about that myself. I.

Having defined the unfortunate situation, he concludes as follows: It is not true that I ever dodged a vote on the bill. On the contrary, 1 each turn-voted for the suspension of the rules to put it on its passage. Alter my return I advised mv colleague to move to reconsider the yote'bv whic i it was indefinitely postponed, myself voted for the reconsideration, thus replacing the bill in the same condition in which it was before the postponement. I further state that I was at all times known to be in favor of the passage of the bill, and would have voted lor it on its final passage.

I regret that I was not present, and al-o that my Republican friends and associates a-cribed my absence to any motive so unworthy as a desire to assist my relatives.

To the Statesman: The great importance ol summer-fallowing our lands and how to make it pay, must be my excuse for penning the following article, in my department of the Statesman.

The necessity of summer-fallowing here, both to give the land its needed rest and to destroy loul plants, is no longer questionable. Hut if, in summer-fallowing, we can raise a crop that ill pay equal to wheat or about it and yet leave the land clean, rested and invigorated, it is of paramount importance to resort to such means. Experimental. For upwards ot five years I have experimented and have observed others doing the same, in summer-fallowing their old lands in potatoes and then sowing them to fall or spring wheat. And without any exceptions the wheat crop has been enhanced from 5 to 15 per cent, by the oper ation.

Cabbages, squashes, turnips and beats have the same results as to the wheat crop. I must again refer to my friend, Isaac Stephens, on Pudding riv er bottom. and in doing so I hope the type setter will look sharp and not make me say that "Mr. Stevens raised 313 bushels ot wheat per acre, machine measure," and thereby throw ing some of the critics into spasm Mr. Stephens divided an old held by a cross-leuee into two fields of about twenty acres each.

Last year he sowed the east tart potatoe summer-fallow to wl" -t, and raised, not 313 bushels per acre 34 bushels of clean wheat, machine measure, ou grub land. This year he summer-tallowed the west field in potatoes planting the 20th of June, ah, feet each way in diamond shaped rows, putting two or three eyes ot the seed potatoes to a hill. The variety was the White Foolish Mercer, or White Xeshaiioe, sometimes called. Now he is digging them and the yield is 1J0 bushels of large potatoes per acre, leaving all the small ones on the ground tor the pigs. He never hoed them, but plowed them altogether twice, and harrowed them once during the growing season.

I have never seen cleaner lands than that field is now. He gets '25 cents per bushel, cash, in the field, tor all that he wishes to sell of the potatoes now. Next week he will plow the ground and drill in the wheat. t'ompnrntl ve Xor for the comparison between the two crops on these fields this year: Wheat 34 '-j bushels per acre, worth at home 54 cents perbu-hel. and per acre.

One hundred and twenty bu-liels per acre of polatoes. at 25 cents, give thirty dollais per acre, allowing that the straggling heat left on the ground at harvest, and the small potatoes, were equal in value for his stock, thus leaving a margin ot profit on, the potatoes, above the wheat, of $11.37 per acre. His is only one ease in hundreds of a similar character. Iiut it he hauls oil' his wheat to Salem he can realize (i cents per bushel more, or can store it in x-ilem Mills. Haul his potatoes to Salem, such splendid large ones, and so white inside, and delicious, and he can get 40 cents per bushel, machine measure and wheat and potatoes weigh each alike.

(10 pounds per bushel. I bus he will receive 15 cents per bushel tor hauling his potatoes, and only cents for hauling each bushel of his wheat to Salem. Object Ions Ansnrrel. Rut it may be said that if scores of farmers should thus summer tallow their lands in potatoes, it would overstock the aiarket with them. Well, if so, who would be the loser by it? There is a manifest scarcity of potatoes now in Marion county.

Tlie yield has been low this season, from various causes, some of hich have been from poor capture in foul, thin land, shallow plowed. I would rather raise three bushels of potatoes and save them each year than one bushel of wheat. But s.13' that farmers should make a big jump next seasen at summer fallowing in potatoes, and there should he a surplus above current demand in market, then we should have a fine lot of superior cow feed and pig feed on hand, to boil up with squashes, and mill feed for tnose useiui domestic animals 01 ours. 1 have enquired and exerimented in the case, and the fact is that every bushel of potatoes so managed, or for cows it the potatoes be fed raw, is worth 3o cents per bushel to the owners of the cow s. xt Neion.

But for a flax crop the next season, and wlt.it a ernn wnnlil sneli summer lm" u'ooe oi ueep summer fallowing will yT 1 heavy crops of squashes and cabbages also; if a shovel full ol well rotted manure be put in each hill projierly at a lime. As to varieties of potatoes here, for home use, yield and quality, and of squashes, I must give a chapter on them at another time. And on varieties of apples, plums and pears, for our new orchards, and to meet tlie demands for dried truit. which is upon us I will endeavor to write shortly first obtaining data upon that matter from my highly esteemed friend.

Prairie. Oct. 2S. AltKIUIM AL OKt IIAKI). A few miles from Fort Madison.

Iowa, is an apple orchard growing in the middle of a dense forest. The peculiarities ofthe trees are, first, the shape of the leaf, which is much larger than the ordinary apple being long and quite slender; second, they bear fruit of (lie finest flavor, and patties come from miles around to ta-te them, and some take leaves and press them to keep as curiosities. An old settler relates that about Red Wing, a famous young chief, on his return from St. Louis, spent a few days at St. Charles, then a small settlement, now a flouring city.

While there he was given a few apples to eat, which he seemed to enjoy very much, and asked for some of "the trees. One of the settlers procured some twenty-five young sprouts and gave him the necessary instructions iu planting them. The-e he carried a distance ot one hundred miles to his home, ami planted them around his wigwam. The famous old chief Black Haw gave this as the true origin of the frees. They are upwards of eighty years old.

To the Statesman la numerous printed journals earning from California and the States east of tlie South Pass, we see detailed accounts of the vast resources of California and the great inducements to farmers, miners, merchants, stock-raisers, mechanics, orchardists and in fact all sorts of persons, to come there and settle. All the information proper for all these classes of persons is scattered broadcast everywhere and immigrants are thus posted beforeliand as to vital information to them on what they desire to know. Hence California is making giant strides to wealth, lame and large population. But how is it with Oregon The scores of letters which I receive annually from various sections indicate a surprising Ignorance on the part of the writers as to Oregon generally. And why is it so? The answer is, that but feeble efforts are put forth here to diffuse general knowledge abroad concerning the best resoorces of Oregon.

Railroads ships, mercantile establishments. Banks and capitalists generally rely upon the people at large tor the profits and perpetuity of their business. Inviting Immigration. There is a great lack of population, and what that implies, iu our State. What feeble efforts are put forth among us to diffuse general and useful intelligence abroad concerning Oregon The great trouble is that it would cost some money to compile, print and circulate, extensively, general intelligence of this State.

Aud here I must say something of my own experience in this matter. I kave had numerous offers from publishers at a distance to furnish me their papers for MS. of mine concerning Oregon. In some cases I have complied, but in most cases fail to come to time for them. I have no lands to sell nor buy, no speculations on hand, and I can live out my few remaining days here, though no Immigrants should arrive iu the future.

1 have written to meu here for documents tliat would euable me better to write of our resources, but in every case I can have such prints if I pay a round price for tliern One would supposeuhat land agents, hi fact, all capitalists in our State, could well afford to tax their annual incomes at least one per the proceeds to go to some qualified persons to compile and print data of Oregon, and employ a half score of wide-awake lecturers to travel abroad, distribute such printed matter to such as would read it, and enforce it by pointed lectures and private talk. What could not a half dozer, such men as my esteemed old friend, A. J. Du-fur, do for Oregon in the broad field of our Union But such men cannot afford to work for nothing and find themselves. I am surprised that this matter has been so long neglected.

The lack of home appreciation is peculiar to no American State, it Is universal and not to be complained of; but in our own remote commonwealth, where all our diverse and multilerous strength and faculties ought to be concentrated and firmly united, that disastrous error ought to be remedied as much as can be by a friendly and suggestive human reason. The writer of this has nothing to complain of on that score; he has had more than his own share of popular appreciation, his own career has culminated, and henceforth his slight ambition requires nothing more than peace and rest unto the end. We speak now in be-halt of others, and most earnestly pray the people ot Oregon not to overlook, nor to underestimate the glittering pearls that some ot their own young people are casting before them, from time to time, through tliis paper. More than once yea, oftentimes, we have read these little articles over with astonishment. Knowing lull well that elsewhere, wherever the English language is spoken in older civilizations, they would command gll.

litre, they nn east abroad, for nothing, as an unso phisticated diver might lling away his unset pearls, in the very intellectual exuberance of a hall -developed State. Now these are the rarest treasures of Oregon, and we pray her people not to overlook or despise an uncut diamond because it is dug out of the ground near home and has not been set in an old and glittering crown. The now world-renowned poet, JoaQUIX Miller, affords a remarkable illustration of the indifference and incredulity of the friends and neighbors of celebrated men. It is almost impossible lor Mr. Miller's old acquaintances in Oregon to realize the eminence to which he has risen in the estimation ot literary men in Europe, and in other quarters ot our own country; but the fact is undeniable that lie is the most distinctive, original and graphic writers of verse now belonging to the new-generation of the poets, of our nation.

The eratie and headstrong boy troin Eugene City has given a world-wide celebrity to the literary resources of Oregon, and it is full time that he have justice at home, in order that other of the splendid intelligences who are now timidly revealing themselves, may he encouraged to nobler exertions. If Miller had never written anything more than the following marvel lously graphic verse, it were sufficient to crown him as a man of genius. ON HIE 1'LAISS.

KAl.fcM ISi Al 1 1 MX TIME. There may be, somewhere on the earth, a more beautiful place than Salem at this season of the year: but if so, we have not come across it. Oakland, in Califor nia, is the only one within our knowledge that will bear comparison in physical love liness, and her splendid beauty is of a dif-lerent order. The habdiments of Oak land are aboundinir verdure, insomuch that the eye grows tired of the perenlal splen dors. The beauty of Salem, ju-t now, is variegated; pensive, but not melancholy; green, red, purple and brown; life in death; leaves falling and roses blooming; the spotted maples contrasting with the dark uniformity ot the stately and solemn firs.

And after all this subdued funereal aspect, there is no death. Xot one of these drifting, crumbling leaves is blown over the dread precipice of Annihi lation. Though It seem to die, yea. shall it not live again, like you and me, coming up in the resurrection of the Spring-time revived and glorious, in the substance of a am blade, or a snow-drop, or a radiant violet, or an apple-blossom, or a stalk ol life-giving corn? Even in the silence ot the descending leaf, there is a majestic voice, audible to the of a rational fUifh. and nroclaimimr, "I am the Resur rection and the Life!" THE EXAMISEP.

Such of our Democratic friends a3 would have the Democratic law and the testimo ny inculcated with great intelligence and nnrht. to send for the San Frau- cisco Examiner. It is now by far the ablest paper Issued from that great city. Its ar-fleles ar written with a force and ele gance unexamp'ed in that State, and the paper ranks high with the strongest Democratic journals in the country. The Examiner is conducted by the Hon.

Philip A. Roach, present State Senator from isan Francisco, and George Pen Johnson, an old and experienced journalist, both of whom are first-class editorial writers. As one of the Opposition in a time of peace and in an age of better civil ization, it gives us real pleasure to do jus tice to a powerful political adversary, and to becomingly recognize the innate person al goodness of the gentlemen herein named. From this sincere expression of opinion, they may infer that we have not forgotten old-time kindness in the Valley and Shadow of Death, close down to the sullen River, where friends were few and far between. It is lighter now; but a greatful recollection Is still inextinct.

Logical Deductions. "Why will not a pin stand on its point?" was one ot the questions put to a Cambridge under-gradu- ate. And he answered thus: "1. A pin will not stand on lu head, much less is it possible that it should stand on its point. 2.

A point, according to Euclid, is that whieh has no part and no magnitude; a pin can not stand on that which lias no parts and no magnitude, and therefore a pin can not stand on its point. 3. It will, if you stick it in." Beastly Adulterer. At Salt Lake, on the 21st infant, George Q.

A dispatch trom India to-day announces that Colonel Mobray Thompson, the defender of Cawnpore, fails to Identify the Bank; in fact, nothing seemed possible to be done without Walcott, though many ot the old business men of San Francisco viewed his extensive demonstrations with suspicion, and predicted a crisis after a while. We have not heard that vv aicott is charged with intentional dishonesty; so far as we know, he has only been too fast; and in that particular, he is a conspicuous type of a large class of men in San Francisco, who, from their peculiarly rapid airishness, are easily distinguishable in any commercial quarter in the world. Last summer, Friedlander the grain-monoplist and forestaller of the markets, went to the Bank ot California, and inquired '-how much money the bank had on ban to The cashier said, "about Friedlander replied that he would take it all, for a certain number of days, and gave his check tor the interest, in advance.

PRErlOVM RELICS. In Mecklenburg, in the little village of Dobberau, about two miles from tlie Baltic, there is a church which contains, according to report, some wonderful curiosities. Among these, it is said, are a "small quantity of flax which the Virgin Mary had for spinning a bundle of hay which the three wise men of the East had tor their cattle and left behind them at Bethlehem; a piece of poor Lazarus' garment; the shoulder-blade of St. Christopher a piece of linen cloth which the Virgin Mary wove with her own hands a piece of the head belonging to the fish mentioned in Tobit a piece ot Joseph's mantle, which he left in the hands of Potiphar's wile a pair of St.

The custodian of these relics complains bitterly that some of The chief treasures have been stolen, one of which was "a quill lrom the wig of the Angel Gabriel E1V TOBK WHEAT-MARKET. A commercial dispatch from New York, Oct. IS, says: "The flour trade has been rather more liberal than last week, but the demand was only stimulated by heavy concessions.

Tlie arrivals have been very large, which necessitates sales at lower prices. The wheat-market has been dull, with prices of Spring unsettled and lower, especially lor fixed lots. Winter growths are also easier, white, especially, being much depressed. The export trade has been light, cable advices being unfavorable. A slight advance in freight to Great Britain also causing margins against shippers.

The tables have been turned on our Southern neighbors, who have been making so much noise about eternal rain in Ore gon. While we have had clear and pleas ant weather, various districts in California have been visited by violent rains, and in some places snow. On the 24th the Heads were so rough that ships could'nt get into San Francisco Bay. The wind blew a gale in the city.

Heavy seas delayed the arrival ot tlie steamer at San Diego. At Jamison City, umas County, heavy rain storm, and a subsequent fall of snow; all travel suspended. In Santa Clara Valley, the stormiest time known for years. Cold rain at Marysville, and heavy south-east wind. The storm seems to be general all over that State, and will probably giye us a call be fore long.

Tremendous Sneezer. The only thing that Earl Russel ever did greatly was to sneeze. His achievements in that line are thus described by a biographer: "This remarkable man seemed to concentrate him self, as it were, fora gigantic effort, would be bent nearly double by the force of the explosion, and would then dive down into the flaming banner of red silk, from which, after several minutes obscuration, he emerged with a countenance as vivid as the back of a scalded lobster." The late Lord Clarendon said, "When Lord John takes snuff the consequence 'brings down the Lover-Suicide. Neils Selmer, a San Francisco book-keeper, committed suicide recently, from unrequited love.
