s $' I tiii; mwm mum,. - - - Sati'iihay MoitNtxn, Oct. 0, 1800. To Our Patroas- Sinco I owned tho Si:.vrtM;r. it lias never paid enough to liiro two printers nml the undivided time ol nn editor, licncc tho greater part of tlmo the writing has hecn done for it by Mr. Turner, the telegraph operator; but ho now declines writing any moro on the same terms. I hope ho may find other ejrjpleymont moro remunerative, but the pntronngo of tho Skntinki. will not justify it. Mr. Tumor has la bored hard to make tho Skntinki. in teresting and useful for low wages, yet I regret to say the patronage and slow payments scarcely justify the labor or prico that haw been paid. I havo pur chased the materials to run it in Now York nt the lowest cah prices. I havo employed tho greater part of tho time the cheapest nnd poorest of printers, who frequently committed gross typo graphical errors, and not unfrciiuciilly they destroyed tho meaning of my own letters. The tiutb is, to make it pay expenses, I havo been compelled to hire boys to do tho printing who wero wholly unfit to be a foreman In any of fice. With a good, cheap editor, cheap materials, and poor printers it has not been a very profitable investment. It has moro than twice tho circulation now that it had nl the time I bought it ; yet, niter deducting its bad debts and the necessary expenses, it has not made good interest on tho capital invested. It ii impossible for mc to give the Skn tinki, my lime, but still I hope to make it a better paper than it has ever been. We nrtw havo a good piinter, anil if our patrons would pay up punctually, tho Skntinki. could be niado to pay for better printers, nnd moro than Interest on its cost. Although it has not been very remunerative, 1 do not regret the purchase. It is now next to the oldest political paper in Oregon, Siuco its publication seven rival papers havo been published in Jacksonville. They have all died but one. This in a sickly look ing thing, scarcely six months old. I have the satisfaction to know that tho .Skntinki. did good service during tho war in keeping down the spirit of re bellion in Southern Oregon, which is lull compensation for all my trouble nnd expense. I still intend for It to advocate the best interest of tho coun try, and tho truo principles of tho Itcpublican party. I wiih it to bo a terror to traitors, copperheads, nnd tho immoral nnd lawless of every class nnd description, I respectfully ask the friends of truth and morality of what ever party to furnish theSKNiiNKi. with tho latest news from nil parts ol tho country. Direct your letters to the Skntinki., nnd not to mu. I assure the public I have not time to rend long litters, or even short ones, on tho bus iness of the Skntinki- All I have ever dono,'or expect to do, is to writo n lit tle for it when law business is dull, to pay its expenses, nnd control its gen crnl policy; but I will get somo one who will givo all such communications prompt Attention, II, F.

Oitn is appointed United totes Marshall for Utah. Removal of tho Rational Capital. A correspondent of the A'. K Timet makes tho following pertinent remarks regarding tho proposed removal of the National Capital: "I notico in tho papers that some edi tors aro agitating tho question of re- moling the publio buildings from Washington to Chicago or St. Louis, nn tho plea that those places arc nearer to tho gcopraphicnl center, or tins cen ter of population. That question, which might hnvo arisen before the ngo of railroads or telegraphs, seems to fall to the ground nt present. Tho telegraph, which annihilates time, or the railroad, Which annihilates space, have already placed the Paeifio cities as near to Washington ns Iloston wni thirty years ago. "The vandal spirit that would deso crnto nil those patriotic recollections thnt cling nbout Washington re con nected with the history of our country, is akin to thnt spirit that would de stroy an old homestead, or break open a family tomb, to make way fur a train of cars. When Millard Fillmore, Pres ident of tho United State, laid the comer stono ol tho Capital extension in l8fil, a record was deposited in that stone, written by the immortal Web ster, of which the last few lines read thus: "'And all here assembled, whether belonging to publio life or to private life, with hearts devoutly thnuklu! to Almighty Cod for tho preservation nl tlie lilierty nml happiness ol the roun try, unite in sincere and fervent pray ers that this deposit, and the walls and arches, the domes and lowers, the col. iimiii and entablatures, now to bo erected orer It, may fiulurt iirrver. " Gof tnve tlit Unitul State of America. I) A NIK!. WkIISTKK, "'SfmlaryofSlate of the United Stale"."1 "Less than twenty years havo elapsed since that patriotic prayer was re corded, and now, while the country it still involved in debt, theso flippant writers propose to add another hun dred millions to move the Capital to whero It is not wanted, and f'r n pur pose mero than doubtlul. lleeause great crowds of people collect at any given place, is that a reason fur remov ing the archives of the country ? II Chicago has grown rich upon grain, or .Cincinnati upon hogs, or St. Louis up on lurs, what valid reason is it thnt the Capital should be removed to either of them? The next move wc shall hear will be a proposition from romo of those castoru editors to move Mount Vernon, with Washington's tomb, to White Pine, and transplant Hunker Mil! Monument into Salt Lake City. I be lieve in the old maxim to 'let well enough alone.' Washington, with ittf publio buildings, nnd the glorious as sociates connected with and clustering around them, is icetl enough at if it, nnd cannot bo Improved by being moved 'out Went.' " Srciiktauv Hoi'twki.i Tho Cop pcrhead press howl ten ideally at Haul well, and charge him with being in terested in the gold speculations which lately created so much excitement at tho F.nst. Gold speculations aro com mon, only this time somewhat lnrger, by tho aid of a stronger combination, in which Secretary Iioutwell had no more interest than wo did. Iioutwell cannot sell gold without advertising tho amount to bo sold and tho time, which gives speculators a chance to work, ntid gives him no opportunity for speculation whatever. The parties interested in the operation were pretty well informed on tho nmnunt of gold in the market, and had made, up a cor ner on W10,000,000. Men will speed lato hi gold just as they do in anything else, nnd whenever they can control tho market, then they mako it pay. Iloutwoll can no moro prevent specu lation in gold, than ho could prevent nn individual in this county buying up nil tho flour nnd refusing to pell at n double price, The whole arrangement wns a speculating game, and thoso who aro losers, happen to b speculators nipped by other speculators, Yrtka Journal.

Several of those journals talk as though a war with Spain would necessarily result from tho recognition of Cuba as a belliger ent by our Government, which hypoth esis seems very ridiculous to us. Tlioy also speak of this hypothetical warns a sci ions peril to tho United Stales, which is still moro ridiculous Thus far, our Government has pursued an eminently fair and impartial course in regnrd to tho Cuban matter, notwith standing the undeniable fact that the popular sympathy has been wholly on the side of thu iusurgout. Tho Timet has accused tho Administration of no ting "nn ignoble part" in this business a charge which is rash, wanton, nml utterly unfounded. Tho course pur sued by our Government will ei.durc the most rigorous critticism, provided thnt critticism is intelligent nnd unbi ased. As to war with Spain, there is not tho slightest danger of it ; nnd should it coma there is little danger in it. 8. ! Chronklf. Patiionizinii.
