KELLY ft WELLS. NO YOU DONT. An over-seaJous partisan remarked Within our hearing the other day that his party would carry the election in Jnne next Independent of the Inde pendent party. That will probably be true providing the party he belongs to shall nominate only the best of men, and better men than will the other party. If this is not done by the party of our friend the answer will be "No, you don't, my fine fellow." It is not the intention of independents to be lead off by partisan prejudices, nor will they surrender the power they have secured : by their, in dependence to any party. The party that secures the a upport in the next election will be the party putting np the greatest number of honest and capable men for office; but even to such party woe be onto the black aheep found in the flock. He will be M an outsider. Party name will not save him for the reason Independents, with their balance of power, never are more completely united, -or more u premely happy than when they are working for the defeat of a rogue or the man who aspires to election to an office which be la not capable of filling-. .'. It does not . suit party convenience that this ia the truth: it ia too annoy ing to the managers, the wire-work ers and the schemers to acknowledge that there is a large number of tax ' payers banded together for their own protection and free from party rule. They have used the party lash for years without accomplishing any thing, excepting to build np a large county indebtedness, and after the atloo of the Indebtedness thev at- iJmpt to throw the responsibility npln some one else. The point is: they refuse to acknowledge that a m l.n .1 1 l , 1 -J- . m.. can accomplish anything that is good, .and when the people compel by their : votes an acquiescence in the matter it disturbs party plana. Again we repeat, it la the intention of the people of this county to elect . none but good and capable men to , office, and to the party that attempts BDyiuing 10 ine contrary we will nay, "No you don't" FOLLOW THE EXAMPLE. In order to secure an outlet, the peo ple of Jackson county have subscribed over three thousand dollars to aid In the construction of the wagon road to Crescent City. The snm is not a very large one, but it ia evidence showing the necessities ef a people which have heretofore patronized Boseburg, and . who to-day would do the same thing If those whom their past conduct has proven were their favorites would do their part In making good roads by - f vhvmw V AVI 4W UIU VI , money, to the boundary line of Doug las county. We believe had our peo ple shown the right disposition, the money subscribed in favor of the Cres cent -City . route would have been r Used in the repairs of the road from the county line and in favor of eon tinned travel between Boseburg and the Rogue river valley. It has been a matter of shortsightedness on the part ofour people; there can be no doubt on this. . The result may be that we shall have to pay four times the amount In the way of road repairing before we can entice the people of Jackson county to turn their teams In this direction once more. The Arizona Miner publishes a let ter written by Bon. Zachariah Chand ler, a short time before his death, ad dressed to an official in that territory, In which the following sentences oc cur. "I am nnder the impression now that Grant's chances for the presiden tial nomination are better than those of any other person; bnt unless he is 'nominated without a contest, he will be out the field, and there will be a trial of strength between the friends and supporters of a few stalwart radi cals. No unknown man of lukewarm sentiments or obscure antecedents will be nominated. I know nothing special in regard to the niatter, only that If General Grant la a candidate no "one else will be." :;-V.y It cost the government during the last fiscal year, $829,007 to run the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Of this amount $854,848 was expended for labor and $148,134 for material. Daring th year referred to there were delivered, finished, 6, 877,262 sheet of notes and securities, representing a value of $1,918,790,160, and 13,915,812 beets containing 2S0,240,9SJ stamps for the internal revenue and customs servioe. The bureau employs aa av erage of about 875 persons. Persons who contemplate the pos sibility of going to the Mojada mines in northern Mexico will con sult their comfort and exchequers by remaining at home. Gold nuggets the size of a mule's head are not being picked up any longer and good water Is scarce. Gold Is there, no doubt, feuty.M lies deep, and perils and pri- vatiowsbeund. . COUNTY STATISTICS. , n tha Plaintlealer. vur a.tAi j i - last week, gave n incomplete ao- count of the financial conuiuwu . u. county from iU organization. ; The statement made by the Plalndealer were Incorrect In my essentials, and the account of the county finances, given by it, beginning jwlth nd ending with 1879, might mislead many. Herewith we publish a table, plainly and completely showing a history of county mangement from the commencement. The figures In the table are copied from the records of the county, and by referring to the records in question everything will be verified. We ask an examinarlon of the table, which la as follows: a. ; B :' ' m .- S. . 5 a. 5. . sr . - i o. s & & ' j S ... - I - oo qd xccoex SSox 58 9 cc 9? 95 9S -i -.J i -.1 CSCSCjA'C-V- 09 -3 0 C I.

Ia the first place Btate taxes in 1864 amounted to more than five mills on the dollar, while in 1879 they were 7 mills, and school taxes had increased S mills. Then again the as sessment of property was only 1,331,208 in 1865, increased to over three mil Uons in 1878, fell to but little over one million during Judge ! Smith's term, and has not been increased a million in the year really held In office by the present administration. The adminis tration of Judge Willis left an indebt edness of $4,733 84 for Judge Gaddls' administration to pay; the Indebted ness left by Judge Gaddls for Judge Fitzhugh to pay was over $2,204 52; the amount of debt left by Fitzhugh was $18,133 26, and the amount left by Smith was, $9,888. The Plaiudealera article would show that there had been no reduction in the amount of indebtedness since Smith was judge, yet there has been a reduction of the indebtedness amounting to $3,099 76, Another fact noticeable is that Smith had the Interest on a large indebted ness to pay, and that Gaddls expend' ed $10,855 to build the present court house, and yet left only $2,209 52 as a balance against his administration. To carry the comparison further, the first year of county government was attended with but little expense. The building of bridges amounted to noth Ing for the reoson that farmers never called upon -the county to build bridges, and they built them them selves out of round logs cut to the proper length. - Now bridges are made of the best of lumber spiked down and roads are made where once there were bnt mountain trails, and the county pays for all the work. A significant (act in the whole trans action is that the indebtedness created in the case of FItzhugh's administra tion was on account of the black mud swindle of $15,000, which swindle the work of .every administration of coun ty affairs since, has been directed to ward paying for. The court that made the debt was composed of one demo crat and two republicans. Since then there has been nothing but independ ents in office with this regard with two exceptions or those who were the choice of independents. Let our co temporary take back the cry it would utter of "stop thief.' The days of theft and maladministration have gone by never to return so long as the honest taxpayers have the power to head off the black-mud swindling ing. : : THE WALKER-TEAL CASE. How Did Walker Lose His Option and Did Teal escape His Guaranty ? Portxasd, Oct. 29, 1879. To the Editob Oregoniai : There is a rumor, pre ty well authen ticated, that a.certain judge intimates that he intends to have "Junius Brutus " disbarred because he puts conundrums to the supreme court to which no reply can be made, tnat is. in such a way as to debar any legit imate discussion in . the press. It is admited (!) that " Junius Brutus " has a right, under the constitution to crit icise supreme court decisions, out ob jection is made to " unfiled opinions " and their crarnisblnsrs of wit and sar casm. It is asserted, however, that a reply would be made to an ordinary criticism. . now, i nave a proposition to make. The " unfiled opinion " in the case of Walker and Hewitt vs Teal, as reported in the Douglas Indepen dent, is on sale at the oiiv book stores. I assert that the material facts in the case as declared by the chief justice and published in the Oregonlan of ApriI29,1879are stated in that ' unfiled opinion with absolute fairness. I further assert that the conclusion of law, based on those facts are correct. Iam willing to re-state those facta and the reasoning thereon in your columns without any of the. trappings of "unfiled opinion;" and if any one can deny the facts c? refute the logic, I agree to resign the office of attorney In the supreme court to which I have a vested right under the constitution and the laws : Provided, that if the person taking up the cudgel shall fail -"Standard Sauce" man will please not rusn up witn ine usuui quotation of "Richelieu" he shall resiirn bis o.' floe. Is not this a fair proposition T Or If the champion object to the proviso It shall be omitted and he shall stand In a position where he has ail to gain ana nouung to lose, i Junius Bbuttjs. During the month of October the United States exported, over $40,000, 000 worth of mercLandise more than it imported, from July 1st to Novem ber 22d, $65,000,000 in gold and silver flowed into the country in excess of what was sent out. At this rate boundless prosperity will soon be reigning. Blaine's chances for ! the. Presiden tial nomination are Improving. Hia attitude on the Chinese questian is thought to add to his strength, THE REFUGE Of SILENCE. "Junius Brutus" Writeth Tony "the - Defender" a Letter which he Re iaeth to Publish. "Save na from Oar Friends." To the Editor of the Standard: You have sen fit to publish the following: A Hint From a Fbiend. Says the Boseburg Star. The Boseburg In dependent is publishing a series of burlesque reports upon the decisions ofour duprvme Court, says the Inland Empire. If we are correctly informed, they are written by a gentleman to whom we bad hoped to attribute a higher order of sagacity. No good lawyer can hope to win bis cases through the medium of the newspa pers, and we hope to see leas of this business hereafter. f Now I would inquire, in all candor, what have yon against the supreme court? Have you not seen the "un filed opinion " in the Walker-Teal case published in the Independent and put on sale at Hirstel'a and Gill's, Without any response from the Judgtsf Have you not seen pub lished in the Oregonlan without reply the challenge from "Junius Brutus" daring any one to " deny the facts or refute th logle t Have- you not seen the charge, against that decision, of robbery, made by the brilliant Pix ley in the Argonaut, submitted to with a alienee as profound aa that of the primeval forests T , Have you not learned the loud htshings of the. Ban Francisco 'press, aud' have yotl not een these el Owns rahltfh placenta tertalning stillness " 7 Have yon not learned that the English bar have taken notice of this case, and probably the Enifllsh nres will follow with such denunciation that it will resound across the Atlantic and become an in ternational question 7 Have you not seen all this, and have you yet not the "sagacity" to perceive that the sole refuge of the Judges Is silence, like unto the sad stillness of an ancient land beneath the " loud eontrndipg waves, ' That shock Cecropia's pi 1 laid state T " Then why should you disturb their sole defense 7 Nay, come, let us reason together. If you have any defense to make for that decision, make it, and make it at once, with all your well-known vigor, but do not covetly attempt a reply by insinuating that this is my case, You know well it is not my case. Neither is the "unfiled opinion" burlesque. It is terribly real. It is true the review Is presented In a novel way, but the facta and the reasoning on the main question are direct, true and to the purpose. The people now expect of the court ' less of this business hereafter." Junius Bbutus The earnest men are so few in the world that their very earnestness be comes at once the badge of their nobility; and as men in a crowd instinctively make room for one who seems eager to force his way through it, so manklud everywhere open their ranks to one who rushes zealously toward some object lying beyond them. The Peace Commissioners among the Utes consider their lives ia danger but have resolved to risk everything for the sake of peace. Palaver may be able to bring about n settlement, but the result is doubtful. The savages would have been more tractable had they received a severe defeat before negotiations were commenced. A Connecticut court granted a re markable number of divorces at a re cent term. Its action is excused on the ground that it Is better to be a little easy in such matters than to consume whole months in taking the opinions of mlcroscoplsts on the subject of poisons administered by wives to hus bands and husbands to wives. The American Legation at Paris re ports to the Btate department that the Mormon missionaries have made no proselytes among the French. The same thing is true of all the Latin races. Whatever may be their fail ings, the dlsgustiug doctrine of polyg amy finds no favor with them. The iron works and furnaces in New Jersey and Pensylvania are rapidly going into operation, gome of them have been Ivlnar idle for Veara. In Boon ton, where hundreds were for merly employed in tne furnaces at the nail works, not half-a-dozen men have been seen for months. The same may be said of other places and mines. The last curious ironclad war vessel built Is in the shape of a turtle, with a steel back 100 feet broad. It is war ranted to be proof to everything but lightning. The English are building It for the Busslans. who hope to use it some day on the English. Assistant-Postmaster New, of Pitts field, Mass., added $1,000 to his income in a year by removing fresh postage stamps from letters, putting on those that had been used, and selling the stolen ones. He used the money in maintaining his social pretensions. The marriage notice of J. S. Habn, in the Ogden (Kan.) newspapers, was printed in the same column with that of his death. Miss Harris, learning that he was dying there, hastened from Kansas City to become his wife. Africa's population Is about 185,000, 000. Civilized nations are having hard work to find markets for their goods. If the African could only be elevated to the half-civilized standard, what a field for traffic would be created. The Czar's pay is $250 for every fif teen minutes of his existence, with an extra $1,000 per day for pin money. NEW TO-DAY.
