Th editor lim not (eli mKl to iy anything (l i) paper concerning Hie matter, believing it better to wait patiently for Judicial determination. W now wlh to submit lo the people of this county the fact In the cae as de cided In our furor In Ih Circuit Court of thlsdistrlct snd in the Hupreine Court of Ida Hum of Oregon on the tenth day of Uit month. At Ui Jsnuaiy, lbUS, session, I uia-la application to have Hi Mlit declared Ihe official paper of ih count). Mr. U. If.

This offer I accepted, though I plainly (eld the court I thought it was irregular. Mr. Mitchell afterwards insisted on a legal couWst. Tlx court, upon th motion of Mr. Mitchell's attorney, abso lutely revoked and ant arid its own order, and the Miat wai appointed the ilhcial paper artse Ma ordor moo nttktd f curt in apite of th proteat of the ill tor of thi pier, wlnwss at all time dllng to carry out hi agreement, biard ai It was, upon tlie consideration oifered hy th County conit. The Miat published the official pio- needing for on year, and then, no com- iHinaatioli having been Axed by Uie county court, brought In ft bl I for U3 AO. Tlie county court arbitrarily, and without any consideration of the raj valu; of th nk,rul th bill down to our dollar, and 1 appealed (by writ of rovle) to the circuit court. In the circuit co irt the attorney for tlie oounty uiade no argument ai to whether the bill was iesnblo or un reasonable, bat alWnited to atand upon the original contract, which the county court had iiaelf annulled.

The cjurtcai t ari lirarily loct any new paper, but name tlie one mak.n pioof, aa eaclally pointed out In cec. Sm, ll. A C. Comp., that It la pnse-d of the largeatcltculatlon.

The ilalule flxe.l a maai mum rale, beyond which the om t can not go, and conferred power upon it to fi ft lower rule; but the county finl not having done to at the tlin- of milk ing the appointment and having made no finding ai to what waa a teatonVde rate when pmlngon plalmlrTa claim it la only fftlr f preaume that tlie court wai tatltlled with the reeaonaDienctw oi the statutory rate. Indeed, thia ciwe hat been tried nd prwntid by the couniel forthe county upon th appureut theory, that there waa noqiteetlon a to correotneaa of the amount of work done and the reaaonnble value thereof, at atatod In plaintiff's bill, hut Hint plaintiff was still bound by his previous offer lodo the work for the bum of l.0O. This, undoubtedly, was the theory upon which the county court noted when passing on the bill. If It deetred to question the facta atnted hi the bill It ahould have had findings thereon and made them a matter of record. That duty was not upon the claimant, but upon the county. And now to send thia case back so th.it It may d epute theae (acts we Uiluk would be doln plaintiff an injustice. At the inception of this matter, the county court seems to have acted upon the erroneoua assumption, that It had noine din-ret Ion as to whom it would let the work and that It had a right to let the work hi the loaest bid der. The parlies undoubtedly made their reapec Ive off.-ra under that belief, but havii-g dhcovercd the error, the court rltthtly rescinded its order of Janu ary Oili, and proceeded according to law , thtrt trtr was an obligation upn plain Hit bf naton of Hit olfor, ho wao tortainl) rohond from It mhon tho court ro$cindd th ordor. Hence the action of the court in rejecting the pilncipul part of plain tiff' bill or claim and a lowlnst a nomi nal sum, was not a proper exercise of Ihe jurisdiction conferred, and the circuit court committed no error In setting iu order salde.
