Hv.BfcjnuJ Hi . JUTjij, THE OREGON SENTINEL. 3atdeDat MotttNG, March 25,1871. Senator Sumner. The removal of this distinguished Senator, from "Massachusetts, irom the Chairmanship of the Committee on Foreign Relations, is profoundly agitat ing Democratic politicians. The great masses of the Republicans look at the removal as a matter of puhlic policy, inasmuch as his iews are in open hostility to'thosc of the Administra tion and the great majority of the peo ple on several matters connected with the foreign policy of tho Goernment, and taka-the whole matter coolly. If the policy of the President and the majority iu Congress truly represents tho-views of the people, it certainly does not become Senator Sumner, or liis friends, whether real or pretended, to complain of bting removed from a public position which he has made use of to oppose and hinder that policy. With all respect for the labors as well as sufferings of the Senator in be half of the Republican pariy, we can not see that these entitle him to thwart its policy in rc-gard to questions arising out of the foreign relations of the country, and it would certainly have been most becoming in him to resign a position in which ho could no longer conscientiously represent the wishes of the people. Failing to do thi, however, his removal was the only course left, and under tho circumstan ces, wo think, was eminently proper. The Bohemia Quartz- "Several years ago the extensive -quartz ledges situated on the line be tw.n Douglas and Lane counties, about C5 miles from Roseburg, wcie discovered and extenshely prospected. Tho reports from the assays of quartz from these ledges were too favorable in many instances to gain credence, and many, from this very fact, pro nounced tho whole matter a humbug. We see from some of our exchanges, liowever, that a five stamp quartz mill has been landed at Eugene City, with the machinery complete, for the Bo hemia quartz mines, by Mr. Joseph Knott, of Portland. Mr. Knott has visited these mines and prospected them carefully, and evidently believes they can bo woiked with profit, with suitable machinery. As ho is a man of much practical business experience, and would not be likely to embaik in such an undertak ing, unless there were good grounds for believing the quartz in that district rich in the precious ores, we ar.e in duced to hope that a permanent soutcc of wealth has been discovered there. The difficulties in tho way of getting machinery within working distance of these ledges are very considerable, but by no means insurmountable, and it is to be hoped that the citizens of Lane and Douglas counties, who will be so greatly benefited if the Bohemia quartz mines do proe a success, will cordial ly and liberally assist Mr. Knott in his enterprise, so that the mines may be fairly tested. If the quartz is as rich and extensive as it has been reported to be, Bohemia will ultimately prove one of tho rich est quartz mining districts in the world. The New Hampshire Election Owing to tho apathy an J disaffection among the Republicans of New Hamp shire, that State went Democratic at the recent election, for the first time in "lo these many years." It seems there were three candidates in the field for Gubernatorial honors, and that neither succeeded in getting a majority of the popular votes, which is necessary to an election in New Hampshire. This throws the matter into the hands of tho Legislature. The Legislature is probably Democratic in both Houses, by the smallest majorities. The Senate is stated to consist of 5 Republicans and C Democrats; and the House, 103 Republicans and 167 Democrats. The Democrats seem to have elected all their Congressmen. The result of this election under the circumstances, is comparatively insignificant, and affords but -little ground for conjectures, in re gard to the result of the approaching Presidential canvass in that State. Nevertheless, the Democratic journals are placing much stress upon it, and magnify its insignificance into the fore bhadowing of a great National triumph for Democracy. When the next Pres idential contest is over, and the popu lar vote counted, we predict that New Hampshire will not be found among the list of Democratic States. It has been too long Republican for that. Communicated- Why would not this be a good time to talk about the ditch ? There is but little else doing, and not much pros pect for anything close at hand. The railroad cannot possibly be built into' this valley, under the most favorable circumstances, for several years to come, and in the meantime, we mi"ht by merely employing the time we are idle, for want of water to worE onr claims, have a ditch dng that would give profitable employment to a thou sand men. Besides, such a ditch would be worth more to this county for the next five or six years, than half a dozen railroads. It would furnish a market at home for the productions of this valley, with better prices, in the regu lar old fashioned gold-dust, than a railroad would furnish at San Francisco or Portland. Then the gold is here and ought to bo taken out. It is un employed capital, for every poor man who is industrious and can get credit fjr a pick and shovel, and lnmbcr enough to make him soinesluicc boxes. The only hindrance is "want of water. Now with plenty of water on. the divii,.i between Applegaleand Jackson creeks, a thousand men could find steady em ployment all the year round, and this would make better limes in Jackson county than it lias ever seen before. If Applegate will not furnish water enough, Butte Creek will, and from where wo could get it across Bear Creek, above Eagle Mills, away down to Foots Creek, it would intersect a rich mining country. It would open to the mineis ten times the quantity of profitable mineral lauds, that thoYreka ditch does in Siskiyou county. A ditch fiom Butte Creek would also directly assist the farmers of tho whole valley, by furnishing them with water for irri gation, which would he an inestimable advantage in a country like ours, whose only drawbacks are want of water and want of market. I firmly beliee this ditch project will be carried out some time, with the most beneficial results to the whole people of the county both f ai mers and miners But why delay it, when we arc compelled to idle away so much of our time for want of water? we can't lose anything by putting in onr spare time on it, and if the thing is once begun in good earnest, the capital to furnibh it will bo forthcoming. l. ir. z. Jackson Hie, March IS, 1871. - . Correspondence. Rosecukc, Ogx., March 21, 1871. Ed. Set:xel: N. Washburn had his left leer shot off by the carelessness of another party, on the 14th inst. He was hunting in company with otheis, when'bntTof the party, walking behind Mr. W., caught the hammer of his gnn in the brush, discharging tho piece, with the fatal effect above named. Mr. Washburn lived in great agony until 4 o'clock, a. jl, of the 17th inst., when he died. Another fearful commentary upon the careless use of firearms. Two men, Keezley and 'Perdue, re sidents of Ten Mile Valley in this county, started out into the Coast Range on the 11th inst., for the pur pose of hunting game, expecting to re turn the same day, since which time no intelligence whatever has been received from either of them. It is belieied by their friends that they are lost in the mountains and probably have per ished before this. The entire commun ity in which they reside has been for several days in search of them, but up to this time have found no tiaco of the missing man. The German Empire- The new German Empire will have a population of 38,509,663, exclusive of Alsace and Lorraine, which will give it 1,638,546 more, a total of 40,148,200. This is the largest of any State of En rope, except Russia. The figures of the various "States are as follows: European Russia 69,379,500 German Empire, with Alsace and Lorraine 40,148,209 France, without Alsace and Lorraine 36,428,548 Austria-Hungary Monarchy . 35,043,592 Great Britain and Ireland. ..30,838,210 Italy, with Rome 20,470,000 POLTGASIT ASD ScFFEAGE. The Mormon Legislature of Utah Territory, have conferred the right to vote, on women. Tiiey propose thereby to pre serve their peculiar institutions, taking it for granted that the great majority of the Mormon women are in favor of the doctrine of "many wives." If they are, then the Gentiles in Utah will bo the minority for years to come. How the plan will operate, can only be an interesting theme for speculation until it is tried. Bishop James O. Andrews, of the M. E. Church South, died in Mobile, on the 2nd inst. Miscellaneous Items. Small-pox is prevailing to consider able extent at Dayton, Oregon. A Democratic paper is to be started at East Portland by Urban E. Hicks. The Eureka mine aUGrass Valley (Cal.) turned out 57,06o at its last two weeks run. Several narrow guage railroad enter prises ate about to be commenced in the State of Nevada. Passengers on the Oregotf branch of the Central Pacific railroad, now take their meals at Maryswl(e instead of Chico, as formerly. A well has been bored on the Las Poas rancho, in Santa Barbara, Cal., and an immense vein of Water struck, which overflows and famishes, suffici ent water to supply the country for miles around. t The late specimen of female enter prise in New York, is that of Maria L. .Smith and Ada M. Gleason, telcgra-D operators, who have built a city3 tele graph line, and opened ofices on Broadway, at tho Grand Central Hotel and other places. A meeting of citizens, iirespectiveof party, vas held in San Francisco on the loth, to make arrangements for the visit of the President'to this Coast, and a committee was appointed to cor respond with the President and ascer tain at what time his visit will take place. This is in the statutes of William and Mary College: "Bo it ordained that thedrinking of spirituous liquors (except in that moderation which be comes tho prudent and industrious student), bo prohibited. No liquor shall be furnished at the collese table, except beer, cider, toddy, or spirits and water." Mrs. Mary A. Baker, widow of Col. E. D. Baker, formerly U. S. Senator fiom this State, died, lately, in San Francico, being 60 years of age. She was n noble woman, and worthy of be ing the wife of the great orator of the Pacific Coast. An eccentric citizen of St. Louis died recently, and left in his will $1,000 to a man who, ten years before, had run away with his wife. One of the last things he said was that he never forgot a favor. A school girl in Fernandina, Fla., a short time ago, turned down the wick of her kerosene lamp, and as it con tinued to smoke, she placed a book on tho top of the chimney. In a moment a fearful explosion took place, which set fire to her dress, to the curtains, and to the adjacent woodwork,and she was fatally burned, dying the next morning. The New Bedford (Mass.) Mercury, contains the following advertisement : "Instruction in cookins; : Ruth Russell is ready to receive scholars for instruc tion in cooking. Special attention be ins given to making bread and pure sond veast." The Oakland (Cal.) Daily News in republishing the above, says, would that some womanly woman would insert in the Neics an advertise ment like it. The C. S. N. Co. have reduced the fare to and from Sacramento and Red Bluff, including meals and berths to 88, and between San Francisco and Red Blnff, to 610. Freight has also been reduced from San Francisco to Red Bluff, to 12 per ton, actual weight. The Clarinda (Tow.i) Herald gives the names of six "leading ladies of that town who have registered, and who in tend to vote at the next municipal elec tion. They claim, with Susan B. An thony, the right to vote under section 14 of the 14th amendment to the Con stitution of the United States and also under section G of the Constitution of Iowa. The Conncil Bluffs Nonpareil says : ''We understand that the woman snffragists of Council Bluffs propose to present themselves to the Board of Registration, and to demand that their names be placed upon tho registry list, so that they can vote for municipal of ficers on the third day of April next." 1 ic Without Fees. The editor of the Ensipn says that he will do his duty "as a public journalist without fees." Strange, isn't it 1 Wonder if he han't failed to make himself intelligible ? The McGaeeahax Claim Decided. The notorious McGarrahan Claim has at length been decided adversely to the claimants, in the Supreme Court of the United States, reversing the decision ot the Supremo Court of the District of Columbia. Missour.i Republicans. The two wings of the Republican party in Mis souri have united peaceably and will hereafter act in concert. The election of Frank P. Blair to the United States Senate, and the granting by the Lewis Iatnre of unlimited control of the State Jands to the railroad companies, have aroused thm to tha dangers that beset them. Hereafter that party will have control if they only keep together, and work in harmonv. Yolo Mail. Needs Rest. There was a rude doctor who advised his female patient, after feeling her pulse, that sho only needed rest, "But look at my tongue, doctor," which he did, remarking, "that needs rest, too." He lost that patient. o Subscribe for the Oeegon SE-TINE Women as Jurors. Tho most interesting feature of poli tics in Wyoming, at the present mo ment, is the fact that both trn ctrand and petit juries are about tStftiallycom- J .!,,. .- rpi! i.. " pueu ui ciwci oc, uis IS mo second time that women have been selected, summoned, and impanneled to serve as jurors, the first selection bavin" been made a year ago in the same ierrit.nnr. In the Albany County Court, held at Laramie on the 7th, Chief Justice Howe took occasion to compliment in the highest terms, "the intelligence, determination, honesty, and propriety of conduct" with which theWomen.ac quitted themselves during Uie past ses sion, saying that "they htid gone far to indicate the policy, justify the expert tnent, and realise, the expectations of those who had clothed thera with tho right." We haie spent some time in Wyom ''g f.iid can entirely coincide with tho Caief Justice in his view that the bar, the bench, and intelligent business men have long felt that something was needed to improve and purify the jury system. We have known of cases in which a man's life, in the territories, was determined in jury council, by a game of seven-up. BuMbose days are past, thank. Heaven. Wyoming, one ot the territories that may be said to possess considerable back-bone is re constructing her jury trials, and the in troduction of women is accomplishing thi. Judge Howe says: "The Court would assure them the fullest protec tion against everything which ought to offend the most refined, modest educat ed woman in any of the walks of life, and would punish severely any attempt to throw ridicnle or contumely upon them to interfere with them or reflect upon thera in any way while in the dis charge of their duty. Ho also pointed out to them as clearly as possible the duties which devolved upon jnrors, ahd urged them to be as expeditions as pos sible, in tho interest of economy. This last was a quiet hint, doubtless not without its value. Oakland (Cal) Daily Neics. o Personal. "Jim." Comstock was in town yesterday, as jovial and contented as ever. lie was on his way back from San Francisco. Sane at last! "For five years" writes a gentleman at Harrisburg, Pa., "I was on a wild-goose chase after rem edies for dyspepsia. I have taken first and last enough "infallible cures" to float a jolly boat, and tho more I swal lowed the faster I got no better. Luckily, or rather providentially, it came into my head to try Dr. Walk er's Vegetable Vinegar Bitters. This was about five months ago. In less than six weeks not a twin ro. mained to remind me of the complaint. I am perfectly well, and have only one regiet that I did not discover the true specific sooner." NEW TO-DAY. JIHlLIilNERY.
