THE BEDROCK DEMOCRAT Has tile L a r g e s t C i r c u l a t i o n o f a n y Paper P u b l i s h e d i n E a s t e r n O r e g o n . C ir c u la tio n 9 0 0 c o p ie s . B A D L Y A D V IS E D . The safest rule to apply to the conduct of public officers who have failed to do their duty where there is not 'clear evi. dence that their intention was to do a pub lic or a private wrrong, is to assert and be lieve that they have been “ badly advis ed.” Bad advice is a species of charitable mantle which, although it may not in every instance cover a multitude of sins, yet has much to answer for in the conduct o f public business. It is not every person who is capable of giving advice. The weaknesses of human nature are most generally freely mingled with the dona tion. For instance, men generally give such advice as benefits their friends, and but few men have the magnanimity, in the giving of advice, to do justice to an en emy or forget a prejudice. The opportuni ty o f “ getting even” with either, some times even overcomes the discretion of the wiliest and most prudent politician who has generally conducted him self in such a manner as to cause it to be believed that his likes were legion and his dislikes were only known to himself. Advice gratis is tarely ever well considered or given with out ulterior motives, and seldom fails to get the recipient into hot water. Besides, this kind o f advice is almost always given by persons who could make a legitimate competency by strictly minding their own business. The foregoing reflections are in duced by the peculiar action o f W. F. Pay- ton, County School Superintendent, in re gard to School District No. 5. That the *;tion of the Superintendent in this mat. ter must have been based on able legal ad vice, our respect for the Superintendent, and the gravity of the position he has as sumed, (that o f violating the criminal law » f the State), forbids us to doubt, and that wuch advice was not in accordance with law or justice is beyond question. The matter may be stated thus: On the third Monday in March the Coumy Su perintendent made an apportionment of the entire School Fund then in the County Treasury. By that apportionment School District No. 5 was entitled to the sum of $109 out o f said Fund then in theTreasury_ Up to and until the 2ftli of April he refus ed to draw an order on the treasurer in fa vor of School District No. 5 or transmit the same to the Clerk o f said District, and then drew an order for only $800, retaining la the treasury $109. Sub-divison 4, of Sec] SB, o f Title 3rd of the law relating to Com mon Schools Code, page 506, provides: He shall, on the third Monday of March , ! and may on the third Monday of Septem ber of eacli year, make an apportionment j of the entire school fund then in the coun ty treasury, among the several school dis tricts of his county that have reported to him as required by this chapter, in pro portion to the number of persons in the district over the age of four and under 20 years. As s o o n a s h e s h a l l h a v e m a d e SUCH A P P O R T IO N M E N T , H E S H A L L D P .A W ORDERS ON T H E T R E A S U R E R I N F A V O R OF T H E D IS T R IC T S F O R T H E IR R E S P E C T IV E S H A R E S , A N D I M M E D I A T E L Y T R A N S M IT T H E S A M E TO T H E C L E R K S OF T H E I R D IS T R IC T S It will be seen from this statute that no apportionment can be made by the Coun ty Superintendent unless a proper report had been made to him by the School Dis tricts. That report is to be made by the elerk of the School District, and must be made by the first Monday in March in •ach year. His apportionment can only be made u p o n that report. In the case of School District No. 5 this apportionment was made upon that report, or it could not have been made at all. The apportion ment pre-supposes a proper report—made at the right time, and an apportionment o f the School Fund in accordance with that report, and an i m m e d i a t e order in favor o f the District. W hy was not that order i m m e d i a t e l y drawn and sent to the clerk o f the School District ? Why has Schol District No. 5 to beg a public of ficial to do his plain duty before it can get an order for anything, and by what au thority o f law does the County Superin tendent retain in the treasury o n e h u n d r e d a n d n i n e dollars of the School Funds belonging to School District No. 5 ? Un der what statute does he attempt to exer cise the discretion, or indiscretion rather, o f splitting up the amount it is entitled to into two sums o f money, giving one, and withholding the other ? For the sake o f the Superintendent we sincerely hope there may be some expla nation of this matter consistent with a due regard, on his part, to the law, common All other sense and common justice questions are entirely beside the matter.— Until we hear such an explanation, we shall be forced to the conclusion that he has been “ badly advised.” THE L A T E S T R A S C A L I T Y A T W A S H IN G T O N . The last disclosures of fraud and forgery- in tho Post Office Department have excited no special wonder, since they form but a part of the systematic corruption and rob bery which have made it notorious since the first year of Grantism. They serve to show that the entire department is demoralized, for in this instance it is the clerks andmes- ■engers who have been caught swindling and following the example of their distin guished chiefs. It appears that certain bidders for small routes in Texas and Arkansas, by corrupt collusion with various clerks having charge ol tho bids, were enabled to Ascertain the lowest offers, then to put in proposals and to authenticate them with the official stamp as if regularly made, which had been forged for the purpose, and by means of false keys to enter rooms and abstract papers necessa ry to tho successful fabrication of these frauds. Of course such operations required many accomplices among the subordinates, hut there was no difficulty in finding them with a sufficient temptation in greenbacks. The rogues outside bought their way inside, and had access to every source of information, official stamps to perfect their plans, mes sengers in their pay prying into and stealing 6am spondence, and keys that opened the most secret drawers. One of the srincipals engaged in this bus iness was Jerome J. Hines, recently appoint ed United States Marshal in Arkansas, upon the advice of Clayton, Dorsey, and the car pet-bag crew who have fattened upon the spoils of that State since 1870. He put in fraudulent bids for service in Arkansas in a false name, and then gave himself as securi ty. Contracts were awarded on these bids, but as they would not take effect until the 1st of July, they would of course be cancel ■" led. The Postmaster-General was fully inform ed of all the facts more than ten days ago, but like a prudent patriot he suppressed them until after the Connecticut election, without, however, having gained much by his Yankee trick; and he now attempts to make a virtue of a necessity when silence is no longer possible. During the term of Creswell, the system of straw bidding was perfected, J and enor mous frauds were perpetrateti by which mil lions of dollars have been stolen from the Treasury. Earle, the former law partner of Creswell, was made his first assistant, and remained in the department justlong enough to acquire thé knowledge needed for the bus iness in which he wTas to engage. Then he resigned, and controlled all the great con tracts through his relations with Creswell. These transactions could n ot be concealed absolutely from the clerks, who saw five or six persons always monopolizing the large contracts; saw them doubled, trebled and quadrupled for their benefit; saw failures condoned; saw extras granted; and saw everybody excluded but the Ring, which was in effect headed by the Postmaster-General himself. Some of the subordinates were admitted to a share of the spoils, for fear of exposures which might lead’ to thè overthrow of the system. Others combined among them selves to use their opportunities, and on a smaller scale to follow in the footsteps ' of their late chief. This is the explanation of present scandal. Creswell was investigated by two commit tees and whitewashed to his own satisfaction, He owned them, and dictated the reports by which he was shown to be a model Post master-General. Then, with the knowledge that the next House ofRepresentatives would be apt to explore his official conduct from top to bottom, he discreetly resigned with a million or more to his credit, and the Presi dent made him counsel for the Government before the Alabama Claims Court, in order to illustrate his devotion to the man and his defiance of public opinion. The official practices at Washington are re vealed in this Post Office matter. While there are of courso honorable exceptions, the departments are rotten and the public service is openly prostituted to venality. Justice must be purchased. Every good claim is taxed, and will not be considered until the colluding outsider gives the wink to or makes the mysterious mark for the con federate insider. To support this monstrous vi’lainy, the people are not only taxed exor bitantly, but they are asked to support a third term of such thievery.—New. York Bhn. GENERAL N E W S IT E M S .

The resignation of Geo. W. Cross, Presi dent of the Northern Railroad, was accepted in New York yesterday, and Charles B. Wright, of Philadelphia, elected to fill the vacancy. Dr. Iiecealy’s motion in the House of Commons yesterday impugning the verdict of the jury in the Tichborne case created much excitement and drew a large crowd. Extra police had to be stationed around the building. The doctor made a motion for the appointment of a Royal Commissioner to investigate the case, and made a powerful speech in its behalf. After much discussion the motion was los‘ by a vote of 433 to 1. Ex-Governor Cook, of Colorado, and Con gressmen Garfield, are on their way to the Pacific C oast. There was a $75,000 fire at Bennington, Vermont, last night. There was a Cabinet meeting in Wash ington yest6rday, but it is not reported what was under consideration. Parker, the defaulting State Treasurer of South Carolina, has been committed to jail in default of $250,000 bail. A telegram received this morning states on authority of one of Beecher’s counsel that eight more witnesses will be examined on his side, but that most of them will give very brief testimony. Cleveland was un der cross-examination yesterday, and Moul ton was called again in regard to the evi dence of Charles W. Partridge. The Lompoc Record suggests the nomina tion of Governor Pacheco for Congress One firm in Pottsville, Pa., credited tho strikers with goods to the amount o f $43,- 000. The fourth saloon has just started in Sut- ro, making one saloon for every twenty-five inhabitants. The Ogden Junction propounds the fol lowing interrogatory : “ Shall we raise broom corn and make broomsfor home use!’ Of course. A constable recently interfered with a fight between two men at Walla Walla, when one of them threw the officer over his head and was fined next day for showing him a new trick. The Helena, Montana Independent gives a column of “ Ten Mile” items. Pretty long. The spring fights have opened briskly at Elko, and it is thought that gouged eyes and lopped ears will soon be a drug in the mar ket. The distance from Corinne to Snake River is 160 miles; the distance from Soda Springs to Snake River is 110 miles; from Corinne to Soda Springs 130 miles. Five thousand men are at present employ ed on the Centennial buildings and grounds in Philadelphia. John C. New’s autograph looks like a handful of fish hooks. There are only thirty-seven daily papers in all England, Ireland, and Scotland, and yet the people are comparatively happy. It is not generally known that thebuiter crop of the United States is now greater in value than the wheat crop. Yet such is the case. The Chicago Times sold 20,000 extra cop ies on'the strength of of the Editor going to jail. The Union Pacific officials advise travelers for Utah and California, not to start till no tice of tho blockade being broken is given. Mr. Clark, of St. Peter, Mihn-, upon break' ing an egg, found therein a serpent five inches long. The hen that laid that egg must have had the deUrum tremens. East steamers are to be placed on the route between San Francisco and Los Angeles. They are to make the run from wharf to wharf in twenty-five hours. A Georgian near Atlanta cultivates a twenty-thousand acre farm. He raises corn and cotton, and employs above 800 laborers. An opposition line of steamers between San Francisco and Portland is talked of. The mining fever has extended into Maine. Penobscot county boasts of a silver mine which pans out well. A resolute pilgrim has for several weeks past been migrating from Omaha to Cali fornia with a wheel-barrow in front of him filled with blankets and provisions. Ho looks with a sort of contempt at the cars as they pass him. The three political parties o f California will hold nominating conventions in June, which will leave only two months for tho canvass. Over 20,000 pounds of giant powder are stored in a magazine in tho canyon below Virginia City. A Chicago paper estimates that Mexico is indebted to this country in the sum ¡of $12,- 500,000 for tho lives of American citizons, taken by Mexicans; and four times that amount for property destroyed by “ grea sers.” Iu the Safe Deposit Company’s office, San Francisco, is a safe weighing 800,000 pounds—the largest fire and burglar pi oof sale in the world. Tho Chicago directory man intends to make the next census of that city tune up to 600,000, which will be about one-third lar ger than it ought to be.

A pure bred merino ram was lately sold in Australia, for $3,525. H o w R i c h M e n b e g a n L i fe . Cornelius Vanderbilt began life with an old pirogue running between Staten Island and New York city, carrying garden stuff to market- With two or three thousand dol lars from that source he entered upon steadi ly increasing enterprises, until he amassed the enormous sum of $50,000.000. A- T. Stewart first bought a few laces at auction, and opened his way to success in a dingy little shop in Broadway, near the sight of his wholesale establishment. Years of rigid honesty, shrewd management and wisdom in things both great aud small, have made him the monumental merchant of the nineteenth century. Daniel Drew, in his early life, was a cat tle driver at the munificent rata of 75 cents a day, and ho has now driven himself into an estate valued at from $25,000,000 to $30,- 000 , 000 . George Law, at 45 years of age, was a com mon laborer on the docks, and at present counts his fortune at something like $10,- 000 , 000 . Robert L. and Alexander Stuart, the su gar refiners, in their boyhood sold molasses candy, which their widowed mother had made, at a cent a stick, and to-day they are worth pi'tbably $5,000,000 to $6,000,000 a piece. Marshal O. Roberts is the possessor o i$ l,- 000,000 or $5,000,000; and yet until ho was 25 years of age, he did not have $100 he could call his own. U. B. Claflin, the eminent dry goods mer chant, worth, it is estimated, fr<m $10,000,- 000 to $15,000,000, commenced in the world with nothing but energy, determination and hope, and see how munificently he has in vested them. (b u itliitg tl« e P u b l i c M o n e y . The New York Sun says, the re tirement of Mr. Spinner as Treasurer of the United States, will make it necessary to count, all the gold and currency of every denomination in that office so that his successors may start fairly with an exact knowledge of the amount of money for which he will be held responsible. Heretofore, it has been the custom to call in some banker or well known citizen to witness this proceeding, Avhile the subordinates actually counted the coin and notes, some times by weight, or average, or packages accepted to contain a given sum. JSow the case is wholly differ ent, and Mr. New will personally superintend the whole operation, both for his own satisfaction and for the safety of his bondsmen. The counting, therefore, will not be a formality by any means, but a rigid and thorough examination, such as has not been known for years. Whatevermay.be the result, it can not be concealed; because the com ing Treasurer has an interest for his own protection in disclosing the facts and the country is entitled to the in formation. It is not reasonable to suppose that the rumors of large deficiencies in gold or notes are true, because no Secretary of the Treasury with any sense of duty could rest easy under such suspicions, or without satisfy ing himself whether there was the least foundation for the charges. Mr. Bristow is not the man to remain passive, with the credit of his de partment involved, if he thought there was reason for distrust in this respect. There may be discrepancies or de- falcations, because they have hap pened before under Mr. Spinner more than once, and Congress idem- nified him against harm for the rob beries by bis chosen and most con fidential clerks. But as the office is to be overhauled in every part, it is only fair to withhold any opinion on the subject until the result of the in vestigation is known. There is grave cause for anxiety, however, in regard to the various issues of the United ¡States and Treasury notes, and, as well as the conflictiug statements concerning the public debt, which have never been satisfactorily explained. Mr. Boutwell and Mr. Richardson at tempted to reconcile these serious contradictions, by seeking refuge be> hind a peculiar method of book keeping, apparently invented to con fuse the public miud and to hide transactions which would not bear scrutiny. It is well known that the forgeries of bonds have been exten sive and successful. To what extent the Treasury may have suffered by these fraudulent issues remains to be revealed. Whether the officials themselves have precise knowledge is doubtful, but they cannot be wholly ignorant. Silence has been the policy pursued by the depart ment, under the pretext that speech would injure the public credit. Of course there must come a day of settlement for all these things, when the whole truth will be told, no matter whom it may hurt. That balances have been forced at the Treasury: that the books exhibit the marks of manipulation; that immense frauds have been perpetrated; that interest is now paid on forged bonds; and that large sums of money liavo been stolen, is and long has been an open secret. And it may be doubt ed, with all the power of the next House of Representatives to investi gate, whether the actual condition of the Treasury in its various branches and vast operations, can be developed at the next session of Congress, with the utmost energy and disposition to push an inquiry to the fullest extent practicable. Possession of the department it self, with access to every office, and willing hands to aid the work, seems to be indispensable to success. E x perts of the highest character, too, will be needed, so that the system shall be explored by which the con> cealing process has been carried on as well as the frauds committed un- der it. Whenever this is done fully and honestly, the public may pre pare for a genuine sensation. ------------------------------------ B c e c h e r -T ilto n -ic s . The interest in the Beecher Tilton trial is diminishing so rapidly that the general public almost begin to lose sight of the fact that it is still in progress and will soon reach its one hundreth day. Speculations as to the probable re sult has not been indulged in much recently. Iu the early days of Beecher’s evidence it was conceded that he had made strong points in his favor. The sympathies of the audience-were with him, but the rig id cross examination to which he was subjected afterwards knocked out several props and left the Be^ ch- erites. in not such a pleasant frame of mind. Mr. Beecher has confessed to hav ing ridden out with Mrs. Tilton fre quently but declined to state wheth er it was in a close carriage or not. He even forgot at what livery stable the carriage had been obtained, and whether they had stopped anywhere on the road. “ Give the'old man a chance.” Mrs. Beecher was around the oth er day looking for the reporter who remarked that she was old enough to be her husband’s mother. The Milwaukee News suggests that the Tilton-Beecher trial be put aboard the vessel that is going to search for the North Pole. A person who knows Mrs. Tilton has made a bet that within six months she will publicly confess her sin, and beg to be restored to her husband’s favor. Some of Tilton’s acquaintances express fears that he will take her back. It has been suggested that some charitable society get up a spelling match between Beecher and Tilton. Ye gods,how the money would come in. It has been intimated that the tri al may last into July. It would be a “ big thing” to have it run into 1876, and have it constitute one of the extraordinary features of the centennial. - They are talking of publishing a Life of Christ that is to cost $100 per copy. This will be very high. But it is not “ Beechers Life of Christ” though that is supposed to have been knocked higher than a kite.” A New York man, who has been too freely given to kissing in the household of his acquaintances, has recently been enjoined from so do ing by order of the court. Such an injunction as this a few years ago in Brooklyn would have saved much trouble which we now see. Those two Kentucky lady hotel clerks are winning commendation daily. They possess no single characteristic of the males of their profession save the one feature of parting their hair in the middle. —St. Louis Republican. Subscribe for the B ed r o c k D e m o crat .
