From the Washington Patriot.

Grant's Chances in the South- -o

A writer over the signature of"Dan Sanders, G. C." who claimsto be one of Grant's numerous re-lations, sent South to see and report "how the land lays" foranother Presidential election, is en-tertaining the public with sqdiqspicy letters addressed to the Pres-- .

ident. We quote from his last inrelation to the present politicalstatus of the "irian and brother"'in Tennessee :

I don't think we have any truefriends left in Tennessee. Eventhe piggers are against us you,wouldn't believe that would you ?As soon as I landed here I wentright among the niggers ,and show-ed them my commission bearing

the morals of trade and commerce.Finally, by a system of purgationand civil service reform in its mostcomprehensive sense,embracing themost caustic remediesof prevention,discoveiy, and punishment. In aword, by scourging out of theplaces of public trust the Tweedsand Murphys of fraud and rob-bery, and every other devil ofevil-doin- g which possesses thebodypolitic. The way out should be,as in the case of Tweed, with hueand cry into criminal courts, andnot with plaudits and honeyedcommendations into the embracesof the Chief Executive, X-.- par-ties and partisans perish if needbe rbut let the Republic live !

With these few words of plainspeaking I accept the nominationconferred, and commit my nameto the fortune of the canvass.

I. am, very respectfully, yourobedient servant,

pondent. The town is situated ona small stream affording good water--

power, w hich they make use offor mills of different kinds.

CLACKAMAS COUNTYis mainly devoted to manufactures,agriculture, and fruit-growin- g.

Oregon City is the largest andmost important town. Its situa-tion, on the - Willamette, forciblyreminds one, by its position, oYNatchez, on the Mississippi, beingbuilt both on and under the bluff.

The falls at this place afford thebest water-powe- r in the State or,if not, par excellence, the best,equal to any. Already they aremade use of in running a woolenfactory7, rtouring-mi!ls- , and othermachinery. These falls, thoughfurnishing such excellent waterpower, have hitherto proved an in-

surmountable obstacle to the navi-gation of the Willamette, vesselsthus being obliged to dischargetheir cargoes below portage, to andreshipment above being performedat great cost and inconvenience.A four-loc- k canal is to be excavat-ed through the ledge, at a cost of$100,000", 8200,000 of which is cov-ered by a State appropriation,Work has already been begun, thecontractors being under bonds tothe State for the completion of thework. The speedy completionof the canal is of the greatest im-

portance, and no one can realizethe necessity of this great under-taking without first visiting, in itsbusy season, the region of countryto be benfited, nor be aware of thevast amount of produce that comesdown this valley by water andrailroad. With the increased facil-ity of river navigation, the resultof this canal, the railroad will findactive opposition, and cheapfrieghts may be expected; hence,the profits of the producer will bematerially increased, and the coun-try generally benefited,

MARION' COUNTY.

The prominent industries of Mar-ion county are agriculture andmanufacturing. At Salem, thelargest town in the county, andcapital of the State, manufacturingis extensively carried on, Amongthe most important establishments,we may note the Salem woolenmills, the -- Pioneer Oil Company,Kinney's flouring-mill- s the lar-gest in the State Patterson's saw-mil- l,

and a foundry and machineshop. There is now in process oferection a machine-sho- p for themanufacture of agriculture imple-ments. Many other branches of

The following communication wagwritten to The West, at San Fran-cisco, from Oregon, and as it is in-

teresting, we publish it in our col-umns. The communication refersmainly to our immediate locality :

POUTLANP,the flourishing metropolis of theState, has a population ofabout 12,000, and still growing ata rapid rate. It is situated on theWillamette river, at a distance ofsome twelve miles from its junctionwith the Columbia, and about 110miles from the ocean, and is themost important port of Oregon,The situation of the city is extreme-ly pleasant, being built on landwhich gradually rises as it recedesfrom the Willamette, a view of aportion of the great valley of Ore-gon the Willamette being ob-

tained from the elevated land be-

hind the city. In the far distance,are also seen the snow-cappe- d sum-mits of Mt. Hood, St. Helen's, andJefferson, rearing their grand oldheads like sentinels over the land.Taking in this vast view, it is astrange transition to look downupon the busy city at your feet,ami the broad Willamette, alivewith iships and steamers. The cityis well supplied with gas and wa-ter. Schools, churches, and benev-olent institutions are numerous.Its manufacturing and commercialinterests, already great, are con-stantly' enlarging.

If Portland progresses as rapid-ly as all prophesy, the time is notfar distant when we shall see herlimits extended well toward, andeven to, Mihvauki;', and a line ofhorse-car- s making hourly trips onthe banks of the Willamette. Theriver will, in the future, be a second Hudson its banks dottedwith villas and mansions. Thetaxable property of Portland, for1871, was about $0,000,000, an in-

crease of $3,000,000 over 18G9.

MILWAUKIi:lies about five miles south of Port-land, on the Willamette. The cit-

izens will tell you, with some de-

gree of pride, tinged with jealousyand Borrow, that their city wouldhave occupied the position whichPortland now holds had it notbeen for the avarice and short-sightedne- ss

or some who held the lands;and to-da- y Milwaukie stands amonument of their folly. There ishere one of the best liouring-mill- s

in the State, the Hour manufactur-ed having a high reputation. Atpresent, the proprietors have onhand some 80,000 bushels ol wheat.During your correspondent's stay,Mmvaukie enjoyed a snow-stor-

which lasted for a sullicient lengthof time to make the ground lit forsleighing, which was also the casein Portland. Near MiHvaukie isthe largest orchard in Oregon, Mr.Lambert is the owner, A numberof the trees composing the orchardwere brought across the plains on

ox-team- s in the early days. Mr.Lambert informed us that the oivchard produced this season somesix or eight thousand bushels ofapples. He at present has readyfor shipment about livp thousandbushels,

MR. HUBIJARD S LETTER OF ACCEPT

ANCE.

Hartford, February 13, 1872.ul. -- . JBurr, IZsq.:

Dear Sir: I take occasionthrough you, as chairman of thelate Democratic Convention ofthis State, to say a word in regardto the nomination which the con-vention has been pleased to conferupon me. The honor, I need notsay, came to me wholly unsolicited,I may also add, wholly unwished.I have no itching for office. This,however, shall not prevent mefrom accepting. Only let me addthat as I have not solicited thenomination, so I shall not by anyof the too common arts and prac-tices of the times solicit an election,and this not because I am carelessthe political result or disdain thehonor. Very far from it. But be-cause such practices are against allmy habits of life in the first place,and next, against all my convic-tions of propriety. If elected,therefore, it must be by the volun-tary and uubought suffrages of myfellow-citizens- . Such must be myposition and course in the comingcanvass. It may be this will bemy weakness as a candidate. Be itso ! It cannot change my deter-mination. T accept also the princi-ples of liberal and conservativeDemocracy expressed in the plat-form of the convention. The res-

olutions, in the main, touch theliving issues of the day, and arewise and statesmanlike, Unless Ideceive myself, the great exigen-cies of the times is not alone theadoption of just principles of gov-ernment in politics of this thereis surely need enongh but whatis of still more consequence, ifpossible a purification of the mor-als of politics. These bad enoughto begin with, and none too goodat the best have become taintedan inheritance of evils consequent011 the late civil war evils whichhave become terribly aggravatedby the wantonness and shamelesscorruption of the long-continue- d

and irresponsible supremacy of atingle party iu power. Theseevils pervade the whole body poUtic, from the petty municipalitiesup to the summits 01 tne otate.Legislation, which should expressthe best morality and wisdom ofthe best men in the State, has fal-

len too largely into unclean hands,and become perverted to the usesof personal aggrandizement, knavish rings, and lured and corruptcombinations m the lobby. 1 hecivil administration of the Gov-ernment is full of fraud, bribery,and peculation. It has come to bealmost putrid. Witness the re-

cent devlopments in New York,both in the State and Federal service. And, finally, the judicial de-

partment usually the last fortressto tall, and lortunateiy in her ownState still clean and above reproach

has not escaped the general contagion. These impeachments areharsh, I know. I shall be glad ifthey are undeserved. Where nowis the remedy tor those- - evils 1

By a curtailment ofthe usurped powers of the GeneralGovernment. It will be found, asa general thing, that free gevern-ment- s

are corrupt in the direct ra-

tio of siz.e and centralization, whilethe liberties of the people decreasein a corresponding ratio. And asinvolved in this the restitution tothe States those smaller andmore primitive democracies estab-lished by the fathers as barriersagainst centralism of their justconstitutional rights of Eclf-govern- -

ment, freed from every form ofdisfranchisment for political offens-es, and so, by consequence, fromplundering carpet-bagger- s in office.as well as from Federal interfer-ence at the polls, no matter whethrer in the shape of official patron-age, or Custom-hous- e stealings, orFederal soldiery. By a reformation of our excessive discriminating and inouisitonal systems oftaxation, so that they shall betterpromote the economies of the revenue and the industries of the peopie, and shall not hereafter tend toconvert the taxpayer into a perjur-er or a cheat. And in connectionwith this, by a resumption of specie payments-r-abolishi- ng that falsepretence, and .irredeemable papercurrency the delay to do whichis not only a duty posponed with- -

out cause, and a shame to our public credit, but tenefs to debauch

If anything was wanted to complete the fame of the distinguish-ed Senator from Missouri, as anorator, statesman, and reasoner, itwas furnished by his most powerful, brilliant, and exhaustive speechTuesday, which, in many respects,recall the better days of theSenate, and made us again proudof a body which once commanded j

the respect, admiration, and con-fidence of the country. All the ac-

cessories contributed, as it were, toheighten the elfect of the scene,and to swell its "pleasing impres-sions. The day was exceptionallybright, balmy, and beautiful.Liong before the hour of meeting,the galleries were thronged inevery part ; the lobbies overflow-ed, and finally, the rules had to besuspended, to make place on thefloor for the gentler sex, whoirresistibly asserted an authority,before which the Senate waspowerless. The occasion and theaudience were worthy of eachother.

Mr. Schurz came to the Senatewith the reputation of a cultiva-ted scholar, an effective speaker,and logical powers of a highorder. lie has gained constantlyin the estimation of his associatesand the impartial public, as adialectician and debater, until hispreeminence in these qualities hasstood almost undisputed. Hismastery of the language, refinedtaste, enlarged culture, and pureeloquence have served to ernbel-lis- h

great natural gifts, and tomake him stand out as one of themost striking figures now in pub- -

lie life. Much as he has hereto-fore achieved to win applause, orto fix attention upon the resourcesand reach of his mind, it may becounted as nothing m comparisonwith his last wonderful success.In this pidgment we speak of itonly as an intellectual effort, anddivested of all political relation.

So far as the immediate question is concerned, the speech wasabsolutely crushing on every dispitted point. The sophistries andquibbles with which Mr. Conklingand Mr. Morton had sought to excuse the conduct of the Administration and its officials were heldup successively, and exposed withoverwhelming effect... Not onlywas the violation of neutralitymade transparent, but flagrant out-rage upon our own law was established by the direct evidence ofthe very officers whose conduct hasbeen applauded with such unseem-ly zeal by the partisans of the President. All the suggestions of theAdministration Senators in regardto the German vote and other

eged motives of the investigation were turned with damagingresults, until the whole defencewas swept away, as with the rushof a tornado.

But, beyond its compact andenergetic force, incisive reasoning,clear statement, and conclusive demonstration, the speech was re-

markable for an elevated sentimentand manly tone, which the Chamber spell-boun- d during the twoand a half hours of its delivery,and extorted frequent applause.Such defiance of power and eomtempt of patronage, hurled aboutlike thunderbolts among the sy-

cophants and incense-burner- s whoworship place and its perquisites,made then shrink in their dishonored seats and quail before theindignant spirit of offended Bight.And when to sum up, hp bodlyleclared for the liberal movementcf Befoim, and his purpose toibide its fate, the last link whichbound him to the dominant partyseemed to have been snappedasunder.

Politically considered, thisspeech is a great event. It marksa new epoch, and is the signal forthe disintegration of the Ilepub- -

ncan party as now organized.Held together by the cohesivepower of public plunder, it cannothope to retain the support ot upright statesman, whose endeavorsto correct abuses, have been answered With reproach and insuit

If it had a merelypersonal direction, or was inspiredby ambitious rivalry, then the ef-

fect might be readily diminished.But aimed as it is to check the madcareer of official corruption, fraud,and iniquity ; that cause appeals tothe popular sympathy in whateverform it may appear, and is des-

tined to command the support ofthe country.

A Good Law if Enforced,

The Statute against the use ofvulgar or profane language, is ono qthat cannot be to highly commended or too rigidly enforced.

Profanity, though considered oneof the small vices that may bepardonol in excitable human nature. is a most detestable and disgracefully prevalent offence. Particularly shocking to the sensitiveear and pure mind, are the oathsand vulgar remarks frequentlymade use of in public places by

rown and half grown men andboys, and indeed hy little childreniust beginning to speak, whom wehave seen patted on ttie neaa, uytheir elders, patronizing their precocious profanity. But, if in menthis vice appeals us, how are we toexpress our feelings at its exhibi-tion in women, who, we see by thepolice report g, are frequently arrest-ed on charges of this description. Arecent case we have in mind, wherea female, described as young andhandsome, and apparently respectable, being arrested for using in?

decent language, preferred a counrter charge against her prosecutor,and taking the stand in her ownbehalf, repeated the language com-

plained of with a gusto and abanrdon that mode thea hardenedwretches in the police court red'den with shame, Byron is said to

For the present I will concludewhat I have to say in answer toSpeaker Blaine on this subject byreading to you the most eloquentand truthful account of our pres-ent condition, in the language ofSidney Smith, written more thanforty years ago.
