', The , electiou ja '.Oregon, indicates that the name'of Grant has no uiagic to change the ver dict agamst, the Republican "party that is written - in the mlud'of the whole people. It also shows that, the deep conviction. of the dangers of .Radi calism io tjie countrythe conviction that made - itself felt at Ihc polls, in California, Connecticut, PennsylvyiniaOhioKew Jersey and New York, and gave1 thosa States to the JDomocraLs by good magy ride's- is. a 'deep couvlctiou still that it has not worn away, with time," and that nothing what ever of prbnLie for. the better is' felt in auything done by the Radicals uj.the, period that has elap sed since a State last recorded the judgment of its people against that party. ithiu that time have come two great party events the impeach ment and nomination of a Presidential candidate. Impeachment, it Is sufficiently notorious, has deepened everywhere the "conviction that the domination of tbjo Radical j?attyJstnot consistent with the safetV four institutions: but how it might be. with 'the' nomination .of Grant no man 'could "tooiitively say.' Patty, nien of one side or theottter,'ahd"an who pretend to be weathcrwisc in the political atmosphere, could predict to their jown satislaction jufct what would come to pass; but the truth is that no one can divine the secret currents of a people's thoughts no oue can ac 'Curately estimate the hiddeu forces that yet seem to move the whole mass of the nation by elect r -eul unanimity to the same result. But the ba 1 jt box tells all. 'I he seam crops out at an elect .on and the mind of the people is shown. Hence the significance of this election in Oregon deter ' mined with unequivocal clearness for the Demo crats right on the heels of the nomination of Grant by the Radicals. Grant, to put it at its lightest, is not so great a man, not a name so thoroughly tatisfactory to the people that they will venture another four years of .Radicalism to have him. He is loo evidently only the eilding of the pill. ... . .1 . I-- t i K .1 ? - I ana tne people tnrusi mm asiac. iina mis is nettled, not on the argumcuts or declamation of partisans, not on the forecastings of those who believe that Grant will be beaten because they hope it, but it is settled on that only positive source of information under our system a test at the polls, an experiment before the people, the honestly delivered vote of a great State. The growth and progress of such convictions in the public mind as have produced the Demo cratic triumphs ot which this in Oregon is the moat noteworthy, uothing can now arrest, and the inevitable foiibequenee will be a complete change . of power. Hitherto the samo chauge has occur red .iu uuch the same .way, Scott was once ex pected to walk over the Presidential course some what as Grant's adherents expect him to walk over it nowbut his promenade ended in a great disaster.

But when they sec iu the acts of these men just what it all meaus, when they see law and civil govern ment trampled down in ten States, and a great section oi the Union ruled by a mi.it.iry despot; when they see the whole powef of a great branch ot the Goverumeut used to destroy the Execu- uve, and to str.ke down the Supreme Court, they naturally consider what result the success of, these etiorts would produce; and the fear to con tinue the Government in the hands of such a party changes the vote - of every thiniing man. it is a chango that-goes on "silently and- appears only in its consequences,' as is- the case with all great operations of the uational interest. - In' that great explosion of national purpose which follow ed the firing on Sumpter appeared the- thought .of many mouths; and it was so magnificently unanimous only because - every man had deter raincd what must bq doae and was 'ready be cause the jjationaL J bought was prepared like a mine of gunpowder .and waited only the match.

In the Senate, the Pension Com mittee reported adversely on ihe bill providing that marriage shall not forfeit the widow's pen sion. The Omnibus admission bill was resumed and an amendment restoring Alabama to the list, was discussed all day without a vote. In the House, the Judiciary committee were directed to inquire why the trial of Jefferson Davis is delayed. The bill appropriating money for the capture of- Mr Davia was referred to the committee on Appropriations. - A bUl Yimvidincr for the inaumiration cf the " i r . Southern State officers and convening the Legis latures thereof, was referred to the Reconstruc tiii committee. - . The bill providing for the taxing of U.

The bill was then referred to the committee of Ways and Means by a vote of 83 yeas to 34 nays. The Speaker announced a petition from Mr Woolley. Mr Butler, of Massachusetts, moved its reference to the Corruption Committee. The Democratic members objected to this motion, be cause only two of the committee were in the city. After some discussion the petitiou was referred without being read. 3ir Eldridge moved to euspeud the rules to re lieve the purgation of Mr Woolley. Negatived. A resolution bringing Mr Woolley to the Lar of the House was adopted ; when alter hearing the questions somewhat indefinitely stated, and with the understanding that it was by order of the House. Mr Woolley declared his willingness to answer. Ihe Conference report on the admission of Arkansas was adopted, and the report having been adopted by both Houses, it goes to the Pre&ident. June 9.

A motion to strike out the provision nullifying the Georgia ! relief clause, was discussed all day. The argu K..nA . . I. n ,T Jl T i i.l.iiit.A1 tvirfi t nirnt. tonic a wld rmifn. It is claimed that With- out this clause the Georgia Constitution would have been defeated, and Congress would defeat the will of the people by nullifying it. Others argued that aside from its unconstitutionality it was the first step toward the repudiation of the national debt. In the House, the reception of the Chinese embassay attracted an immense crowd. A Bill from the Reconstruction Committee, i dividing Texas into three States, was ordered to be printed. Ihe bill to inaugurate Southern State officers was read three times and passed 115 to 31. June 10. In the Senate, the consideration of the Omnibus admission bill was resumed. An ! amendment ordering the inauguration of State ; lhe eccted officenj exduJd b e Federal lawa officers without unnecessary delay, and declaring or provisions of the fourteenth amendment ineli gible, was adopted.

A Valuable Oyster A faw days since a prominent geutWman went on board an oyster boat lying at one of the landings on York river, Va., and bonght a few of the 'bi valves' in the shell, which he proceeded to pen for himself. Attached to and imbedded in the shell of one of them he encountered a metallic aubataoce. This oyster he carried home, and there proceeded to break it to pieces with a,rbauimer. Picture his astonishment when he found that it contained a French gold cob, known as a Louis aTor, of the value of about fourteen dollars, bearing date 1 573.

The Wilmington Journal says that a gentle man now oing business in New York, but who resided in Cumberland county during the war, was surprised a few days since in the above named city by the return of a breastpin stolen from his family residence, in Cumberland county, by a party of Sherman's thieving "bummers." Mr David Macrae. -We regret very much to learn, by a private letter received in this city, from Mr David Macrae, that he has been so un fortunate as to lose a large portion of the notes taken by him in his late tour through the South', and from which he had intended to make up a volume for pnblica? ion on his arrival home. These notes were contained in a satchel, which was stolen from him at some point between Bal timore and New York, and their loss will prove an irreparable ono. They have been advertised for exteu6ivcly, but no clue hasjet been obtained of them. Mr Macrae was to have left New York for Liverpool on the 30th ult., and we presume that he is now across tho water. Wilm ington Post. ' Destructive Tornado in S. C. ; On Sunday night, the 7th, a terrific storm ac companied with hail and rain, passed along the western borders of this District, following the course ol Broad " River. The damage done to crops and fencing is reported tohavebeen heavy. A fricnd.writes to us, that his farm will not pro duce the seed planted upon it. In some places the fences were lifted up and the rails strewn several hundred yards away, leaving scarcely a vestige to show where a fence once 6tood. The wheat crop, under the track of the storm, is re ported as utterly ruined. lhe handsome brick residence of Mrs Ann h. Wright, on Broad River, was struck by the storm, which peeled off the roof, and carried it over upon an opposite hill. Several smaller dwellings are reported as damaged, or blown over, and many barns, stables and other out-houses. 1 he storm extended on both sides of Broad River, and seemed to follow its course South ward. Its breadth, and the full extent of the damage done in this and adjoining Districts, we have not been able to learn definitely. xorkvitle Lnquircr. The President and the Printers. The National Printer's Union, while recently in session iu Wash ington, called upon Presideut Johnson. The President addressed the dele gates in a conversational way, premising that he did not intend to make them a set speech, lie was proud to say that he had been a jour neyman mechanic. The President concluded as follows : 'Now, I do not wish by what I say to tickle the ears of tie masses, nor do 1 wish to make any party allusion; but 1 say that tho aristocracy of labor is true democracy, aud to that aristocracy 1 belong. 1 have been a mechanic in the proper sense of the term, and I tell you, gentlemen, I was considered an A No. 1 iu my line. .Ap plause.J 1 did my work well, and I never broke a promise. jLoud cheers. And I consider it a nobler distinction to wear upon my garments the tinge of the shop and the dust of the field than ah the insiguia that may attach from vic tories won on fields cumbered with crushed and bleeding humauity. I humbly claim that no vote, no act, no speech of miue since I first en tered public life was cast or made in any other direction than in the interest aud for the beuefit of the laboring mass of the people. Eggs. ' Eggs form an important article of food among almost all known races. .-- The English the great egg-eateraexcive &autally from Ireland one hundred and titty millions of e&9, and' f'ro& Prance over one hundred and thirty millions. The great object is. to get fresh ones, and many modes are resorted to to ascertain this important point, borne dealers place them iu water, when, if fresh, they will lie on their sides; if bad, they will stand on one end. In many countries the eggs of lizards are eaten. . In the iVsst Indies the eggs of the guana are thought a delicacy; aud iu the Antilles the eggs of the alligator, which are said to taste very much like hen's eggs. which they also resemble fn shape. Turtle's J eggs arc held in great esteem whoever they are J K-uud, as well by -Luropeaus as others. ihey have a very soft shell, aud arc about the size of a pigeon's egg. The mother turtles lay thrice a year, at intervals of two or three weeks, deposit ing iu one night as many as a hundred at a tay- Jog. An experienced eye and hand are required to detect th egg, as they are always ingeniously coverea up witn sana; Dut wnentney are hunted, very few escape. T he Orinoco Indian obtain from these eggs a kind " of clear and sweet foil, wbich they use instead of butter. In the month of February, when the high waters of the Ori noco have receded, millious of. turtles come on shore to deposit their eggs.

Britton and Gibson were the most worthy of praise, although Gov. Seymour declared that he had, at no time and in no place, seen more natural or appropriate declamation by Freshmen or Sophomores. ' ; ' ' On Wednesday morning, the Hon. Thomas Henry Seymour, lately Governor of Connecticut, was introduced to an intelligent audience by f the phiIaQt ic Society fu retuDin?thanks Senior Busbee, as the orator of the day on the Alter a lew ' CU- ,i ' 3 omy; . .! :.u hcatiou at renewing his intercourse witn com panions in the joyous contests of boyhood and in the deadly strifes ou the plains of Mexico, he announced, as his subjeet, "Government its origin and forms, together with its functions and dangers. - In presence, voice and manner, the orator for Commencement presented a striking contrast to the preacher for ( ommencement the Rev. Mr Moran. of the N. C. Conference. IJ3 manly form, deep and rich voice and vigorous and grace ful actiou, enabled him to secure, for an unusual length of time, the thoughtfuii attention of a large and intelligent audience to a rare, subtle and broad generalization concerning the dealings of our God with his -creatures a generalization that clearly possessed the marks of what is evi dently the favorite philosophy of its author, that of Sir Wm. Hamilton. Its breadth and it3 depth were in inverse ratio, most simple and comprehensive. The doctrine of this sermon to the Seniors was drawn from Eph. 1 : 10: "That in the dispensation of the Julhiess of time he might gather together in one nil things in Christy both tchuh are in Ifeavrn and in earth' The object of tho learned divine was to gratify the instinctive desire of the human mind to perceive unity in the midst of diversity, an end and a purpose all through the . most complicated and wide spread activities, and demonstrate that the revelation ofthe glory of God in the face of the Lord Jesus Christ has ever been, as a matter of fact in history, the centre around which all the dealings of our God with the children of Adam have ever revolved. Of course Thursday is the great day of Com mencement week. This is the day for which Seniors have lunged and Mothers have left farm and family the day for which sisters and sweet hearts have reserved their brightest, smiles and richest dresses. And the class which on this Thursday received "their diplomas, deserved .ill the praise that th'ey received in abundance from' old and young, from learned and honored, and wise and fair.

Examiner, in an interesting article, collates some striking facts and figures about the huuor traffic in the United States, lhe Revenue report to the Treasury, January 18b8, says : ''lhe present productions of distilled spirits in the United States, theoretically available for. as sessment , and revenue, is undoubtedly about fiity millions of proof gallons per annum." - 4 'j.h fcctal number of, liceued -establishments for the sale of liquor in the United States, is 130, 000, that is one establishment for every 200 per sons, or for every fifty-three families. 1 his state ment cannot be an exaggorat ou, for the more carefully prepared statistics of New York T State give one grog-bhop to every 183 ofthe inhabitants. , 'Ihese 130,000 licensed liquor establishments occupy more buildings than there are iu the city and county of Philadelphia, accoi ding to the re turns of January 18G8. . ; If a frontage of twenty feet were allowed each liquor establishment, they would form a solid row of buildings more than four hundred and ninety two miles long longer than the railroad route from Boston, by way; of New Y01 k and Phila delphia, to Washington city.. 'Iho. number of persons required to carry on this profitable traf fic, assigning three to each place, (in New York City the average is five each.) is 390,000, more than the population of Baltimore or Boston. In the State of New York, the number of li censed grog-fchops is 21.242, and of employees in them, 63.726. The number of schools and church es is 1S.302, and that of teachers and ministers, 33.231.' 7 . 7 The sum of money expended for liquor through out the country, is still more startling. The to tal value of retail liquor sales for one year, in the different States and Territories, is" . $1,483, 491.865. The total value of railroads and their equipments is but little more than this, viz: 61.653,050.799. This enormous amount spent for intoxicating drfnk, is equivalent, to 843 for every man, woman and child in the country. It is more than ''the entire product of the precious metals," from all the States and Territories west of the Rocky Mountains, for twenty years, from 1848 to January 1868, which Mr J Ross Browne, in his recent report to the Secretary of the Treas ury, estimates at 81.165,000,000. It is more than ten times the total value of all the church property in the United States, given by the cen susof 1860 as 8171,39S,532. It is more than one-half our entire national debt. .Cuot deducting the cash in the treasury), which was $2,625, 502.848 on November 1. 1867: - Hailstorms. We read of furious hailstorms in all parts of the , country, from the Northern portion of the Union down to Texas. We have seen an account of a storm that occurred in Washington city last Sunday, that did a great deal of damage. The hail fell furiously, break ing immense numbers of window panes. The stones were very large some ofthe size of pig eon's eggs. This we can believe. But what shall we say of an account whieh we read of a storm that passed over San Antonio, Texas, in which one of the hail-stones' was weighed, and its weight was five pounds and a half! But this was not equal to one that passed over.Indianola, in the same wonderful country, in which there fell stones that weighed eight pounds ! These heavenly shots'are said to have riddled the strongest roofs like' cannon balls; and so they must, have done if they ever fell but this is exactly what we doubt. .
