WEEKLY eORVAUIS GAZETTE. OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE STATE OFFICIAL PAPER FOR BENTON COUNTY Corvallis, July 11, 1879, W. B. CARTER, " 1NDUSTR!ALC0-CPERATICN." For years we have been strongly impressed that the above is one of the greatest needs of the people of Oregon. But how can it be success fully accomplished, is the great prob lem. Speak of this matter, when, and where, you will, and you are told the Grangers tried it and made a signal failure. While this is too true, we claim that the Grangers did not pursue the right plan. If, instead of sending hundreds of thousands dollars annu ally out of the country for farm ma chinery, they bad established one or more manufactories in this State, and kept this money at home, we would not hear the ery of " hard times " Ho State in the Union possesses bet ter facilities for manufacturing than Oregon. Our timber is excellent, our coal fields abundant, and our iron ore is the finest in the world, while our water-powers are unsur passed. There is, no good reason why farming implements, wagons, buggies, carriages, etc. could not be manufactured in Oregon as cheap, and equally as good, as those ship ped from Eastern factories. In addition to keeping the money at home, which would be a benefit to the farmer, he would be directly benefitted by a home market that would require all his surplus pro ducts, for which he would receive far better prices than he now receives, as it is a well known fact that a home market is the best for the producer, Now, one-half or two-thirds of his crop is consumed in paying freights, commissions, etc. This industrial co operation need not be confined to manufacturing alone, but may take a wider scope. The following sensible article from the Oregonictn of the 5th inst., is right to the point, and de serves attention : English people are generally very careful in gathering statistics, and their statements of such are always to be relied on. The Yankee has not time to gather up tuck things from the thousands of sources to which he has to look for them in order to get things exact. He makes a rough "guess usually, near enough for practical purposes and goes ahead, lhe English, however, leave no source of knowledee unexDlored. and collect all the facts and figures obtaina ble with the greatest care. Knowing this, people will not be surprised at the condi tion of the industrial co-operative societies of Great Britain as shown by reports fath ered from the English papers. There are now almost fifteen hundred industrial co-op erative societies in England and Scotland, eleven hundred and seventy of which made frill reports, from which it appears that they have about a half a million members, own nearly twenty-live millions paid up share capital, and employ besides nearly five millions more of borrowed money, most of which comes from the members. They keep a stock of goods on hand worth ten million dollars, and their annual purchases foot up over eighty millions, on which the net profit is over seven millions, which is more than ten per cent, on the annual sales. This great system has all grown up from the modest beginning made in 1844, at Rock dale, when twenty-eight worklngmen open ed a retail store to furnish such things as they wanted to purchase. The original so ciety has always maintained its pre-eminence, and has now nearly nine thousand members, who divide a quarter of a million in the shape of profits among themselves every year. It would be hard to exaggerate the advantages conferred by this voluntary association of workingmen, who, instead of grumbling because their lot was not better, took hold and bettered it themselves. ANOTHER RAILWAY SURVEY. The Roseburg Star says-: Al though the fact is comparatively un known to our readers, some months ago engineers of the Central Pacific K. R. made a suivey from Battle Mount, Nevada, to this State. Con trary to the general supposition they found that the lowest pass through the Cascade Mountains led to the headwaters of the North Umpqua instead of the McKenzie river, and in their reconnoissance reached a point directly east of this city about twenty-five miles. We now have information that tbe Union Pacific has sent out a competent corps of surveyors with a view of investigat ing this matter fully. It. L. Cavit, who resides twenty miles east of here and who has spent years in the moun tains and knows every pass, ridge or trail, has been engaged as guide. Tbe surveying party are expected to be at bis- place sometime next month to proceed with their work in an easter ly direction. In Scotland. Dr. L. L. Rowland, former Superintendent of Public In struction in this State, is now sojourn ing in the land of " Bobby" Burns. The Dalles Mountaineer of the 4th inst., publishes a very interesting letter from tbe Doctor; dated Edin burgh, Scotland-, June 4th, 1879. His trip occupied two and a half nonths, and did not see near all tbe sights" at that The Doctor is en "oying his trip very much. THE FOURTHJN CORVALLIS. The 103rd anniversary of our Na tional Independence was duly cele brated in Corvallis, last Friday. The day was ushered in, at sunrise, by a national salute, accompanied by ring ing of bells, etc. The sky was dark and lowering, threatening .rain, and quite cool, which, no doubt, kept many at home. But, notwithstand ing all this, at au early hour, the streets were thronged with people, and vehicles, of every descriotion, came, pouring in from all directions. At 9:30 the Occident's shrill whistle was heard and in a few moments she came steaming up the river grandly, with flags flying, and her decks lit erally crowded with people from Salem and way points beyond Alba ny, including the Capital Guards and Salein firemen. They were cordially welcomed by tbe citizens and firemen of Corvallis, and the Second Brigade Band. An hour later and the City of Sa lem, crowded to its utmost, bearing the citizens and firemen of Albany, accompanied by the Albany brass band, arrived. They also were hand somely received and escorted to the City Hall, where the procession was formed, as announced in Gazette and programmes of the day. Both boats were tastefully decorated with flags and banners, and presented a very ffne appearance as they gallantly steamed past our city front and re turned, amid waving of handker chiefs and men y shouts from the throngs on deck, answered from the shore. The procession was the grandest that ever paraded the streets of Corvallis, and one of which Benton county has great reason to feel proud. The firemen, in their red shirts, and the Capital Guards, a fine company of handsome, heroic well-drilled young men. under command of Cant. Ira Erb, in their uniform of gray with glittering bayonets, formed a grand and striking contrast to the magnifi cent Liberty Car, bearing the beauti ful Miss Frankie Kiger, as Goddess of Liberty, and forty six little girls, as bright and lovely as ever were con greerated, representing each state and territory. The procession follow ed the line of march, as prescribed, in excellent order, keeping time to the soul-stirring music discoursed by the Albany and Second Brigade bands. A move orderly and credita ble procession we never witnessed, reflecting much credit on Geo. P. Wrenn, Esq., chief marshal of the day, and his assistants. Arriving at the court bouse square, seats had been arranged for the entire assemblage under the shade of the grand old maples, in front of the court house, while the speaker, offi cers of the day, bands, and a few invited guests, occupied the portico of the court house, under the folds of the dear "old starry flag." After several beautiful pieces of music by the bands, Hon. James Chambers was introduced, who read the Declaration in a clear and dis tinct manner, giving proper emphasis. Then followed the oration, by His Excellency Governor W. W. Thayer, which was delivered in his easy, grace ful style, was full of patriotic fire, and vividly related incidents in our national history, always new and thrilling. The hearty manner in which it was cheered showed that it was well received and appreciated by the immense audience. Then came the interesting part of the celebration dinner. In the cu linary department, the ladies of Cor vallis and Benten county can't be beat and this dinner was no excep tion. The gathering is variously estimated at from five to eight thou sand persons, and some claim even a greater number and yet there was abundant provision for many more. After all had been bountifully sup plied, with everything comprising a first-class dinner, more than "twelve baskets full" remained. Several hun dred pounds of nice roast meats and large quantities of bread, pies, cakes, chickens, etc., were gathered up, and under direction of Mr. Wm. Grant, aisiriDuiea :o iamines wnere it was very acceptable, so that nothing was lost. The scraps were given to In dians, who seemed perfectly delight ed with their good fortune in obtain ing hi u muck-a-muek. After dinner came the "flow of reason and feast of soul," in the shape of toasts. This department was unusually well arranged by the committee on toasts, Hon. F. A Cbenoweth, acting as chairman. This feature of the celebration was hand someiy earned oat, and we regret that space forbids us giving a. full reports ai tne conclusion or tbe toasts a few taps of the bell announced that the "Ugly Plugs" were ready for street parade, and- a more grotesque, ludicrous, laughable pageant would be hard to conceive and the great wonder is how our boys contrived to get up so much fun, in this line, with out the illustrious Jack Allphin to aid them. It was a grand success, notwithstanding a large number of the principal actors failed to put in an appearance. Among the most comical and mirth-provoking charac ters was the personification of the " Missouri travelers," by an old man and woman. Their rig was a curiosi ty shop of itself. Then followed the firemens' parade and drill. Our beautiful new engine, Young Amer ica, behaved handsomely, and threw water to the astonishment of all visitors. The fire works were not on as grand a scale as soma anticipated but the irrepressible Joe Irvin, repre sentative of Mr. Hughes, the great pyrotechnist of Portland, was on hand, as usual, and helped out this part of the programme in good style, urnishing a fine display of rockets, Roman candles, flying fiery serpents, etc., etc. The ball, given by Prof. Brother hood, at the City Hall, in the even ing, is represented as one of the best ever given in Corvallis. The attend ance was large, the music excellent, and the supper, given by Messrs. Young & Polley, of the Occidental Hotel, was " way up." Taken altogether, it was the grand est celebration ever held in the up per Willamette valley, and to the citizens of Salem and Albany are we much indebted tor its success. When opportunity offers, we have no doubt the citizens of Benton will cheerfully return these pleasant calls. Such gatherings do much to unite and cement neighboring cities and comi ties, and to the grand life-journey are what the oasis is to the desert. May we all live to enjoy many happy re turns of our Natal Day. Tillamook Rock. The Astorian, of the 4th inst., has the following relative to the recent examination of the above rock as a site for a light house and fog whistle. The Oregon coast is, at last, we are glad to note, receiving some attention from gov ernment. Our coast interests have been too long neglected. The Asto rian says : Tillamook rock has been fully explored, and found to be admirably adapted to the purposes of a light house and fog-whistle. It stands out to sea prominently from the shore, and in view of the shore line north and south. Being beyond the line of break ers the blasts of a whistle would not be in terrupted seaward. The water is fifteen fathoms deep, close up to the rock, which enable vessels to approach very near without danger. It will also be a good place to call for orders, by laying a cable to the shore and connecting with the telegraph line. Too much cacnot be said in praise of Col. Gillespie, and the officers and crew of the cutter Thomas Corwin, in demonstrating the advantages and value of this rock. Disgrace to Heb Sex. The de graded female, who gave Birth to a child in a hack, in the streets of Port land, still continues her disgusting debauchee. The Bee of the 2nd inst., has the following relative to her " .Last night Mrs. stepps while on her debauch, deserted her little girl and bov on the streets, iney were picked up by an officer and taken to the jail, where they were given sup per and a bed. A search for the wo man revealed the fact that she had left her few weeks old baby at a house of ill fame and bad gone off on a jamboree about town. The lit tle waif was almost starved, and al though it is hard to say, the little thing would be better off if dead." Sensible Advice. We have fre quently advised our readers to be cautious of peddlers and patronize regular business bouses, especially those who advertise in their county paper. The Walla Walla Watch man of recent date, gives the follow ing sensible advice on this subject: We would advise oar readers to deal with our regular, reliable, well-known business men only ; men who have obliged you when in need, and are your friend. Don't give yourself away by patronizing every "cheap John who happens to come along, for cheap men frequently nave the dearest goods. Commutations. The Governor has commuted the senteuce of Louis Larkin, a convict in the State peni tentiary, on account of bis youthful ness. Young Larkin was sent from Multnomah county, last March, for larceny. One of the conditions of the commutation is, that be is not to return to Multnomah till tbe expira tion of the time of sentence. The Governor has also commuted the sentence of Gervais Raymond, sent up for three years for assault with a dangerous weapon. Also remitted the sentence of James Simmons. Pretty Good. A Seattle corres pondent of the Portland Bee, has the following relative to the success of the late Puget Sound excursion: "Rev. Isaac Dillon's share t the excursion proceeds amounts to over four hundred dollars, part of which will go towards paying the balance of tbe debt on tbe Methodist cburcb in lh city." ! OUR TRIP TOSODAVILLE. Somers' Soda Springs, or Sodaville, are about 25 miles south of east of Corvallis, in Linn county, and about 4 miles from Lebanon. Great med ical qualities are claimed for the wa ter of these springs, of which there are two, although only the water of one is used, the other being mixed with fresh water. We are indebted to Mr. D. Irvin, of this place, for a ride over and back, in his buggy, which we enjoyed very much. Leav- inor Coi'V allis on Monday tbe 30th of " es m June, about half-past nine o'clock, a m., we drove over to Mr. Geo. Lu per's fed the horse, and partook of a most excellent dinner. Mr. JL. is farmintr on a larcre scale, and his r o well-fed, fine horses, fat hogs, sleek calves, and farm machinery carefully housed, proclaims thrift, while neat iipss find order, in tbe house, shows that Mrs. L. is a model house-keeper. Passing through Lebanon, we no ticed a number of improvements but the ruins of the late fire were still visible. Lebanon and Corvallis should be connected by rail, as the rnad would nass through one of the A - finest agricultural sections ot tne State, and give the best portion of Linn county direct communication with the ocean. We arrived at Sodaville about 4 p. m., and were cordially greeted by Mr. D. P. Foote. proprietor of the Fountain House, which is kept in good style, notwithstanding Mrs. Foote's ill-health, one is not a very good advertisement for the Spring, but Mr. F. makes up for her lack, in this direction. Sodaville is a thriving little village, nestled in the foot hills of the Cascade range, 350 feet above Albany, and overlooking a large portion of Linn county. The atmosphere seems pure and fresh, which, tocether with the medicinal virtues of the spring. attracts laree numbers of invalids from all parts of the State. Only a few campers were here, upon our arrival, several having left for home who had been attending the Metho dist campraeeting of Rev. S. Math- ew, which was not entirely ciosea until last Sabbath meetings having been held several evenings during the week. On Monday evening Rev Mathew preached and on Tuesday evening Rev. Phillip Starr addressed a fair audience, in the school house. We notice many very creditable improvements in Sodaville since our former visit, some two years since. It now boasts fifteen residences, and two more in course of erection, some of them very neat frame buildings. One store, Messrs. Simpson & Sears, proprietors, where you find dry goods, groceries, candies, nuts, tobacco, and notions ; one blacksmith shop, by Jos. Sears; one meat market, by John Gibson ; one hotel and feed stable, D. P. Foote, proprietor; and one-half mile s. w. of the town, on Oak creek, at the ruins of Peterson's mill, may be found James Edwards, manufacturer of furniture, chairs, etc. and repairer of wagons and farming implements. His lathes and macbin ery are propelled by water power, and appears to be doing a fair busi ness. Mrs. Opp, of Albany, sister-in-law of Judge Haley, was the only regular boarder at the hotel, during our 6tay, but a large crowd was expected on aud after the Fourth, aud all the rooms were engaged. We think So daville a good place for invalids to co. and resrretted that we could not On & remain longer, taking our departure immediately after dinner, on Wedn esday, and arrived at Corvallis about 6 p. m., feeling much improved by the trip, but somewhat fatigued by the ride home. The crops, with a few exceptions, through Linn, look very well and promise an abundant harvest. On Tuesday afternoon Mr. Irvin and ye editor drove over to Waterloo, some three miles distant from Sodaville, but were disappointed in getting a drink from the soda spring in the channel of the Sactiam river, because ot a leaky boat, in which we did not care to risk our lives for the sake of " one drink." ASTORIA AND WINNEMUCCA RAILROAD. A permanent organization, says the As torian of the 4th, of the Astoria and Win nemucca Railroad Company was effected in this city yesterday. At the meeting on Wednesday evening, wnicn was a most en thusiastic one, the following named gentle men wete elected : C. Leinenweber, W. D. Hare, Col. James Taylor, T. Bailey, J. H. D. Gray, James W. Welch, J. Q. A. Bowlbv. At a meeting of the directoors held yesterday afternoon, officers were elect . " ' ' J-l T ' 1 -J 1. To School Clerks. Mr. A F. Gunn, agent for A. S. Barnes & Co., publishes the following card : " School clerks who have been requested to inform county superinten dents as to the number of school readers and spellers of each class that will be required for suddIv in their respective districts are hereby informed that in making such orders through the superintendents, tney are not thereby incurring any Lability for them selves. The object of the publishers in makiue this request is simply to get an esti mate of the number of books that is likely to be required." PAC IFICJC OAST. Oregon. Union county is to have a beet sugar fac tory, There were 60 drunks arrested at Astoria during June. The immigration passing through Lake county, going north, is unprecedented. A box containing a human skeleton was found among the hay in Sawyer's stable at VKerby ville, recently by a teamster. T O a Bo lbv e president -EE P , Sr.. of Aurora, died last Holden. secretary; I.

The directors levied an assessment of 10 per cent, on the capital stock, to be delinquent August 1st, unless paid prior to that date, and a resolution was adopted authorizing the president and vice president to employ and put engineers in the field at once. One half the capital stock has already been sub scribed. Thus we see this important en terprise fairly inaugurated, and we have an abiding faith that the work will not lag, 1 4. 4.U..4. 4-V, -,1 -;il K U,,;i4- ...i f i -n t ., Judge Jere.

This is an enterprise in which the people of the entire Willamette val ley can strike hands with Astoria. We have long been convinced that the Winnemucca road wiH be the first through connection with Eastern and Western Oregon. We have no fight with Astoria, Portland, or other noint.but desire R.Ii. connection witb"-' Jacob Foreman, an old gentleman, died I itt 1-11 m ri i Successful. From a notice in the Lynn (Mass.) Item of June 28th, we learn that our old friend, Horace N. Hastings, former ly of this city, has been compelled to pur chase a double cylinder Hoe prsss, capable of printing 4,000 papers per hour, in order to supply the demand. The Item i an ex pedient naner. and we reioice to hear of the grand success of Messrs, Hastings & Sons, the East, and are content to let the western terminus take care of itself. No danger of there being too many outlets to the ocean along our coast. The more the better. We desire to see every portion of our State built up, and her vast resources developed. We are now upon the eve of a won derful revolution in the transporta tion and freight business of this coast, and just what effect the recent trans fer of a controlling interest in the stock of the O. S. N. Co., to Jay Gould may have, is only conjecture. If it shall hasten railroad connection with the East, or cause a permanent line of onDosilion steamers between X 1 Portland and San Francisco, com mercial interests will be subserved, and it matters but little to the people whether they shall fall into the hands of Jay Gould or Vanderbilt. In either case we will have to deal with monooolies : but it will be to the best interests of those monopolies to develop the resonrces of the country and encourase productions. Let us have the Winnemucca, the Northern Pacific and the Portland, Dalles and Salt Lake railroads, and we will take the chances on monopolies. FROM ALBANY TO ASTORIA. The Albany Meaister of tbe 4th inst., has the following relative to grand steamboat excursion, leaving Albany on the 22nd inst: Arrangements are about completed for an excursion from this city to Astoria this month, which bids fair to be the largest and most pleasant of the season. The large and magnificently appointed steamer, JLurlme, one of the fastest boats that ply the Colum bia, now running between Portland and Vancouver, will leave this city on Tuesday morning, July 22d, taking excursionists to Portland, passing through the locks at the falls of the Willamette at Oregon City, ar riving at Portland early in the afternoon of that day. At 7 o'clock on the morning of the 23d, the steamer will leave Portland, passing down the Willamette to its junction with the Columbia, and thence down that lordly river to Astoria, arriving at the latter place at noon, where excursionists can enjoy themselves as suits them best, visiting the points of interest in and about Astoria and the mouth of the Columbia, until Friday morning, July 25th, when the sterner will start on her return to this city, reaching here sometime on Saturday, July 26th, thus making a trip of five days. On Thursday night a grand moonlight excursion will be given from Astoria, taking in all the points of interest in and about the mouth of the Columbia, for which a small sum will be ex acted probably 50 cents. The price of tickets from this city to Astoria and return will be $4 low enough in all conscience, and enabling all to go who desire. Arrange ments will be made to supply Corvallis, Sa lem, Oregon City, Portland, and other points with tickets, so that all who desire can take advantage of the occasion and en joy a pleasant and economical trip. For the present tickets can be obtained at this office. Secure them early before all the chances are taken. A brass band will be secured to furnish music, and ice cream, soda water, candies, nuts, etc., will be furn ished on board to all desiring. CURE OF PAUPERISM. In a recent conference of charities of the United States, held in Chica go, some curious ideas npon the sub ject of pauperism were ventilated, and many interesting tacts and He ures were presented. The leading causes of pauperism, all agreed to be hereditary taint and intemperance, and to remove the dire effects of these baneful causes, restraint upon the liquor trrffic and stringent mar riage laws were suggested. Indis- crirainating charity was denounced as a fruitful source ot evils that it es sayed to cure by encouraging laziness and un thrift, lhe conference, it it did nothing farther, impressed the idea that to subdue, not to say eradi cate pauperism, will tax to the utmost all the resources dictated by private philanthropy and public policy. Hon est poverty caused by unwilling idleness, though it may degenerate by long stress of circumstance into pauperism, may always be assisted by well directed effort, while pauper ism that contents itself with asking and receiving alms is a nuisance that can probably never to any great ex tent be abated. Portland Bee. Octopods, otherwise known as devil fish. are said to be increasing in number in the waters ot part ot the coast. Secretary R. P. Earhart hoisted the na tional ensign over the State House, for the first time, on the morning ot the t ourth. Prof. Gatch has been elected Professor of English Literature, and Prof. Collyer of Chemistry at the State University. Hewitt, of Salem. A Brownsville company is working the tin mine at Sweet Home. They have melt- ed down a lot of the ore and sent the bar to San Francisco for assay We learn from the Enterprise that a Ger man named wernieka drove past wnere a tree was being felled, near Cutting's Mill, Clackamas county, and it fell on one of his mules, killing it instantly. A Fatal Accident. Last Wednesday, says the Democrat, as Mr, Ebenezer Hayes and family were driving into the picnic grounds at Roberts' Bridge, the wagon struck an oak grub and threw their little two-year-old girl out and one of the wheels passed over her head, crushing the skull. The lit tle one was taken up and medical assist ance called, bnt she died in the evening. Mr. Hayes resides near Halsey . at Wm. Miller's, near Turner, on Saturdav 27 th. ult. , from the effects of a cancer. He had not eaten a pound of food in the 30 days previous to his death. Grant county has seventeen general stores, operated by white men, four water saw mills, one steam saw mill, two water grist mills, one water quartz mill, and one in course of construction. The frame work of the new pavilion at the Fair Ground, Salem, is up. Mr. 'Potter the contractor, is pushing the work forward as rapidly as possible, and expects to have the building completed before tne specified time, Before any route is settled upon for the Salt Lake railroad examination will be made for a line through the Blue mountains from the head of John Day valley to Baker City direct. Some think that would be the easi est way to get through The wool clip of Oregon this season is un precedented. While the Willamette valley turns out large quantities ot hne wool, East ern Oregon is chief, and the quantity turned out this season is enormous. The Roseburg Independent says: A full force of workmen are engaged in work at the quicksilver mines, and the furnace and retort are being pushed toward completion as fast as possible. Soon the mining will commence in good earnest and we hope with excellent results. The mine is situated about nine miles east of Oakland. The following directors of the Oregon Steam Navigation Company have resigned W. S. Ladd, Walter Thompson and George J. Amswoith. Messrs. H. VV. Corbett, J. N. Dolph and R. Kohler have been elected to fill the vacancy. Frank Monick was arrested last week near Gervais for the murder of a man named Reed at Cathlamet about three years ago. He escaped at the time and went, it is sub- posed, to Southern California : but came to this State and has resided on French Prairie since. Sheriff Scarborough, of Wahkiakum county, where the murder was committed, by some means obtained information of his whereabouts, procured a requistion and took measures to have him arrested. The preliminary survey of the Astoria and Winnemucca railroad will be made some time in July through the Nehalem valley to some point in Washington county, intersect ing the Oregon Central railroad. Capital ists in Astoria will build the railroad by their own individual means to the cedar for ests and coal fields of Nehalem, even though no other aid to the enterprise be presented. But it is a foregone conclusion in our mind, says the Hillsboro Independent, that the Astoria and Winnemucca line will be built, and if Oregon capitalists can do it alone, so much the better.

BENJAMIN, Register, 16:22w6 J.- C. FULLF.KTON, Receiver. END OF THE SESSION. Congress has adjourned. It has made appropriations lor all branches of the public service save one; yet that one is in many respects among the most important of all. J3y leav ing the United States marshals with out funds, congress has deliberately refused the means for executing large classes of important laws. Some of these laws were enumerated by the president in his last veto message, it is understood, of course, that the bill as presented was vetoed because of the extraneous political legislation engrafted on it, the object of which was to render the national election law inoperative by depriving the president of the ordinary and neces sary means for its execution. The law stands on the statute book unre pealed, and it is the duty of the pres ident to enforce it. The bill was drawn expressly to deprive the pres ident of his power to execute a con stitutional obligation. He declined to approve this attempt to paralyze bis constitutional authority and to nullify an existing law. These facts will be borne in mind by tbe country in fixing the measure of responsibility for obstruction of the laws where it justly belongs. The president can not assent to prohibition of tbe exe cution or laws not repealed. In or der to get rid of the election laws, presumably to allow free course for fraud, congress started with the proc lamation that there should be no ap propriations either foi the civil or military departments of the govern ment unless the election laws were lepealed or nullified. Stopped by the president's vetoes the majority came down from one degree to an other, till at last all appropriations were made except for marshals. Here the case now stands, awaiting the verdict of the country upon the general issues raised by the extra session of congress. Oregonian. BOBN". In this city, July 5, 1879, to the wife of E. E.
