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.

.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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.
