THE STATE II LP I JiMC . "Ih3 y;rugl3of to-day h not altogether for to-day, it is lor tlic vat future also." EUOENE CITYCCT03Izil 25, 1862. HEV1EW OF TIIR l'i:o( CKItlVCS OF TIIK i,i;(.is i. v ri k i;. The Legislature which adjourned on Friday, the 17 til Inst., was emphatically a working leg islature. The .members labored less in the sa loons, tipping glasses together, than those of any previous Legislature, but were more diligent in tlio council room. They parsed many good laws aw Boino very jioor ones. This is no more than might bo expected of any legislative body. A member nmy introduce a bill which would suit his constituents, and before it is put m its pas. saga it is so amended as to bo a different bill entirely, distasteful to the people, and perhaps to a majority of the. Legislature, and yet, as it Is tlwt or nothing, lliov choose tho least of two evils and vote for a- bill which they do not want, but which they consider better than nothing. In this way the members, in some things, do not please themselves, and cannot bo expected to pleaso others. Therefore, wo shall speak plainly of i their actions, without questioning tho motives of any member. AGltlC'UI.TL'P.AI. coli.kgu. .parly in tho scs.doii the act of Congress, do. nating land to tho Slate for tho benefit of an Agricultural College, was accepted. This alone will bo worth more to the people than the entire cost of this session of the Legislature. A bill was introduced by Senator Chrisman, and passed the Senate, to locate the. College at Eugene. If. was defeated in the House, and a bill finally passed, appointing five Commissioners Messrs. (Jibbs, Boise, Pengra, Jesse Applcgate, and Woodward who are to receive roposals from different points during the next six months a,,d j locato the college within tlmt time. Our repre sentatives have done th be-;t ihey could in this matter, and now if the pt ople of Lane county wand this college let them prove it by making liberal offers, and they will have a viry goud prospect of success. KitW Jl'lUClW. Hi..TiiiCT. Although there were four Judges in Oregon to n population of .V), 003, while in fionio of the older States there is only one to every 100,000 of the population, yetlhi.ro his been a fifih Judi. ial District created. S.imbo ly wanted an oflice, and to have divided 'the country west of the mountains info three districts instead of four, leaving otio of the present judges to serve the now District, would not have furnished the de bired pickings, iilel nonce, for the sake of" pen and harmony," a new District had to lie created. 'tw com:. Tim old laws, though deficient and very much jumbled up, wero, nevertheless, brooming familiar to the people, and llu Lu .ine sef lawyers was not so brisk as when the law s were new and unknown. Consequently these d'ueiple-i of "law and order, peace and good will," complained that the laws were too much "scattered," and had commis sioners appointed at a former session id' the Leg islature to collec t and revbo tho la vs. These commissioners have piobably introduced a verey good code, but. instead of in ingh'g all the laws, w hich were applicable to the present needs of the country, together in a tangible form, they seemed determined, us a Senator i inai ked, " to have new laws, even when they wore no belter than the old, innrely to run up a big 1111 f expense." The entire legal fraternity, from the Governor down to the least order o pettifoggers, favored j thU code, and it was imdcr-lood generally that 1 it was iuteiidad more for the benefit of lint pro fi'Hsioii than to improve tho laws. tVfiKKiJ iN-rortroii.rr:i)-NKW I'oi'NTM-:-! oiiinik.o.

THE CSIRV LAW. From two and three per cent, a mouth, which was customary, the members, with " multitudes of money in their pockets to loan,"(?) have cut interest down to twelve per cent, per annum. Ueally, many of tho member were men of capi tal, and sumo wero loaning money at high rates of interest, and yet they passed this law, hoping thereby to benefit tho people and tho country generally. This evinced a degree of patriotism which will bo appreciated and long remembered by their constituents. CKNKRAL l.NX'Oltl'OIl ATION LAW. A general incorporation law passed. The usury law will have a tendency to turn capital into manufacturing and building public improve- ments, and this incorporation act opens up a new field for enterprise, and will draw capital, which has been scattered in small sums, and badly ap- plied by persons paying high interest, into coin (.uu'ioo nJ corporations and bo applied to works of public improvement. TIIK OAlir. A bill was passed requiring all persons hav- ing claims against the State, before drawing money from the Treasury, to tako tho oath of allegiance, and furnish udditional testimony of their loyalty, if required by tho Secretary. Un der this (Jill the Secretary might have paid personal ends without requiring proof, ana o: . .. .. rt , others, equally loyal, ho might havo required them to go two or three hundred mile; and bring witnesses to prove they had not sworn a lie. n-, . i, i , t j llus, i: many instances, mi-rlit have cost morel ' J ' . . than tho amount of the claim against the State, and then tho proof might havo been rejected, without the claimant having tho right of appeal or any remedy whatever. In consequenco of this leature of the bill, the Governor vetoed it. Another bill was passed and approved, requiring the oath of allegiance before drawing money from the Stato Treasury, or from any county Treasury or School Fund ; and also requiring the same of persons suspected of disloyalty be fore voting, if challenged, and before receiving 'judgment in any Court, if required -by the dc- fondant. SKAT OF GOVERNMENT. This question, which was once decided in favor of this place, has again been put in a shape so it cm probably be settled in two years from the next election. The bill provides that at the l cxt election, the two points receiving the greatest number of voles, thall again be voted for at the next coming election, and the place then receiving a majority of tho votes cast, shall be tho perma nent seat of Government. If stealing can be kept out of the game this time, voting may have come i li'ect. KEVISION 01-' FEES. A bill revising fees of county and State offi cers, was introduced by Mr. Wiikius, and passed the Hon :o. It is charged that in the Senate ono of the att lichees of that hody, who had been ap pointed to some office in one of the new counties, and felt interested in the matter of salaries, stole tho bill, and when the Senate called for the bill it could not be found. That is ono of the evil consequences ot the favoritism of appointing non resident to administer tho local nii'iirs of new counties, instead of authorizing the citizens to elect their own ofiieers.

The Times of tho 2Ut, has nn excellent article under the abovo head ; it says : "In tho rebel House of lteprcseiitativcs, re- eciitlv. resolutions were inlroihn-i-d reromiiiend ing an address to the people of California, Or- egon and tho Territories west of the Pocky Mountains, on tho sul .jeet of forming a league, odeiisivo and defensive, between them and the Confederate States.' Why arc such resolution.! offered in the rebel Cotigress 1 Why aro not such ovi . i ertures made to oiner loyal states Jjoes any real ineua or tho Union, and of constitutional liberty, doubt that thero is an organization on this eoat, yes, every county, and in every town, whose , members arc sworn to aid and defend tho right of 1 secession, and support tho bogus Confederacy, 1 though they should have- to wade in blood to J their knees 1 There is tho most positive evidence of it, and our town is not exempt. And it is thoiiO persons' repfesmtntiono to thu rebels that cause such memorials to be sent to our coast. Now who these men are, and how to get a knowledge of their doings are questions of grave importance which every truo patriot should be looking after. Hear tho Times again : " Calling to luiud tho old adage, wo remem ber that ' all is not gold that glitters;' that all are not friends who are most loud in their pro. u. ivi hum nuui till" ii. v.. vuM'iii mi T t C.-.iici.i.iu .A' ...,,1 n.l.i...li..ii r'n.v.r.ni...;.-..1.. , . ,..,... nlll, ,nv,.1.lps, t..n ..,:,, this coast the more discreet ones, at least are silent on the great questions of the day; or, speaking, they weigh well tho words they utter. Many, no doubt, feign friend. .hip for our cause, , " , r , ' P , 1 . aiidj-iuiuer false guise, make great professions of their loyalty ; vet from the innermost recesses of their souls, all the w hile praying for the day w hich will turn the tables and invest them with the reins of power." True, v ithout doubt, and we apprehend that many went into tho Union organization with the hope of getting prominent places in the State. But happily for Oregon they were foiled. Thero was however a faction of " Union (?) men," met at Salem, immediately after tho Union Stale Convention "last spring, and tried to get up a call for a " Union Democratic Convention," but were again doomed to disappointment, they then begun to shout for tho Union, and still keep np the how 1. But their organ the Statesman, is M-owin" weak, and is trying by side thrusts .It.,... tl. r.r,vn,.nm,.f 1, nnfi,T Pnn. " l o - - - j -s - tempt on its currency. There aro also botnc of the loudest moufhed Union men 111 th:s county who said, when they saw the constitution of the Confederacy that it was a grand improve- mont on the " Old Constitution," and ought to be accepted by the North ; but when it became ap parent that such policy was unpopular, then they were Union men and always had been. Such men will do to watch. Look Otr. l'at Malono is getting terrific, and is bound to hang or crucify somebody. He made a dive at tho abolitionists some time ago, and they having failed to wink out, he has got madder and madder, and is now pitching all his spite Pt tiie " Democrats" in a manner that is ornl to behold. 1 fe says they are poor, nasty, utinrii tlcvils wont nay a cent for their miners, and he is going to lake a big sharp knife and cut them right square off at the where they sprout out of the Democratic Tree of Life, and leave tho hateful creatures to perish in outer " drunkenness." He says the reason they don't pay up their subscription is because they are waiting in hopes that his paper will bo suppress cd, which they think will relievo them of the necessity of ever paying for it. Put is a very fractious animal, needs a Spanish bit to keep him straight, and if he is permitted to rear around in the Democratic corral in this promiscuous man - ... . .. , . tier, he will ruin the party.
