SATURDAY, A PHIL 20, 180).
Neaeter Hihir Vat I'a.
The little Lin editort bava ill the time
been watcliiny Senator Dukir'i conduct In
(lit Senate through leather aiwctack-a,
Imping to dirover something on which to
1nie complaint against him. The sharp
rye of the Albany Democrat has Hindu
what it thinks I discovery. It rubs It
ni!m together will) grlni of tho most In
tense duligbt, aud ihouU ' Eurei'i, Eureka,'
m it poinU a to Senator Inker's remarks
on the Tariff Hill. Col. Nakcr, In the
court ol his speech, ucd the following
language:
" I am trying to protect the manufue
turn of the country 'j raising revenue for
tariff, discriminating I do. That
Iwlng to it would he very hard for me to
jro home end tell my people thut Senator
Wilnon convinced ine that In the cane of
wool, the only thing we raise end rare
much about, the way to pet tho bolter
price for it is to have no duty at all."
The Democrat U hugely disgusted with
litis, and sticks up ita noo after the follow
ing fashion:
" It U truly humbling to think that we
must have the nuiue of being represented
in that august presence, hy a limit who
will thin Kjwuk of our products and resour
ce). 1 In the enso of wool, tho only tiling
we raiM and care much attont.' "
Senator IJukcr also said in the course of
hit remarks;
" Wo ciiunot sell much of anything; but
we do hnppcn to raiso a littlu wool, and
verv coarsa at that; and fur tho Mike of
the appearance of the thing at any rate, I
think, to levy a duty of S per cent, upon it
will not bo unreasonable."
Tho Democrat gets in a big disgust at
this, and goes off as follows:
" ' A little wool, and very conrso at
(hat,' is quite a compliment to a constituen
cy, who boast, for a newly settled nod
sparsely inhabited country, of rather an
abuuduut yield of that article, and also of
its superior quality."
Now, when we read this, we picked up
the Corviillis Union, to see if Slater hadn't
got hi back np over the same thing but
it seems that tho Union hadn't been sharp
enough to notice Col. linker's " vile Blun
der on Oregon wool," and it hnpcnod
that in the very column of the Union where
we expected to sio our Senator demolished
for not saying that " Oregon produced
more wool thnii all New Knglund, and finer
wool too thun any other country on tho
globe," we found a h ader on tho subject of
Oregon wool. We soon saw that the
Union's article whs written with a view of
' hinting facts, Instead of earning two dollars
and hulf from Jo Lane, for, like many of
its articles outside of disunion Democracy,
it was sensible. Tho Union estimates that
the last year's wool clip of Oregon amount
ed in all to but 109,08(1 pounds let than
half tho wool clip of a single county in
Vermont. The figures " slander Oregon"
worso than Col. linker's statement as to
tho amount wc produce. As to quality,
the Union says:
" Thus fur wo have only tho poorer
gradtt vf therp, yivlding a scant! Jteeee,
of comparative inferior quuliti."
Hero we have ouo of tho Lnno sheets
gnashing its troth nt Senator Itukcr for
having stated what another paper of this
same stripe says is (rue!
Tho Albany Democrat says that Oregon
U'oduces, besides wool, a great ninny ap
ples, a vast quantity of wheat, Ac., Ac,
end then turns in to snnpping at linker,
for not soying so, forgetting itself to ciiu
tnernte our eggs, cabbage, potatoes, onions,
and ' beans' and then wind", up with tho
conclusion that " if it was not for the sake
of tho uainc of tho thing, Oregon had just
about as well have no Senator at oil."
Now tho Democrat's blunder grows out of
tho fact that it didn't know thnt Col. lin
ker was speaking of such productions as a
tnriff would be likely to affect. That pa
per is mistaken In supposing that eggs and
cabbugo are usually enumerated in n tariff
list. If tho Democrat thinks Col. lin
ker is culpable for misrepresenting Oregon,
why isn't Jo Lnno to Lin mo for not setting
tho whole matter right, then and there?
If the Democrat is right, tho Union Is
wrong, and Jo Lnno should Imvo jumped
up and corrected Col. linker as follows:
" Mr. P.rcsiirYaf, I am pained to hear
tny colleague misrepresent tho resources of
my people. I assure you tho wool crop of
my constituents is enormous. I liovo been
in Oregon since 1840, and have devoted
most of my time to the most untiring ef
forts in examining into tho resources of
that country, much of which hus beeu ex
clusively devoted to wool. Wo produce
more wool to-day, Mr. President, than tho
great and nolilo Stnto of South Carolina,
and our wool, like hers, is all very int. We
have no CMrae wool in Oregon, licsides,
I can inform my colleague that we produce
a vast amount of bacon, wheat, eggs, and
other vegetables, such ai cabbage and
' beans,' These hen us are all of tho finest
quality. Tho seed was all brought from
' the Sonii, and thero isn't married lady
in Oregon, out of over a hundred thousand
of them, but what has a truck patch, and
keeps more or less chickens. My people is
an inoWWons people, and what the wee
men raises, when added to what the men
gits off their farms, makes au enormous
aggregate or productions. I cannot per
mit the misrepresentations of my colleague
go before tho ' world nnrebnked, and I
thercforo move at an nmeudment to this
bill thnt we insert wheat, apples, cabbairr. '
crout, chicken efg, and tesns." Lere
tot
rata.
Ad act has at length been passed for
the payment of our War Debt, or at least
a prtion of it, as may be seen on tho first
pnge of to-day i rtMr. As all payments
depend for their bosia on the Third Audi
tor's Iteport, we have taken tho trouble to
look that document over, and condense
portion for the Information of those who
may not have access lo the Report.
('irst At lo who ihall be entitled to pay
fur lervcti, The Third Auditor says;
1 1 havo concluded therefore, not to exclude
any of tho companies reported, by the com
missioners, or to change- the period for
which they are reported, as entitled to payj
but lo assume, for tho puriioxci of this re
)ort, that as to the duration of service,
and the fact of such 'service' having been
culled for and ' recognized and ucccptcd
by tho territorial authorities,' tho rolls nre
correct. I deem it proier,' he somewhat
inconsikten'ly adds, 1 to suggest, in this
connection, that, in any provision that may
be msdo for final payment of thco claims,
authority should be given to reject ull such
as shall not appear to Imvo been engaged
in actual ternice,' making provh-imi for
going back of tho Commissioner's Itrporl,
which be agreed to accept on this point,
a-id to demand further proof.
What pay volunteer iluill receive.
' Hy the second clause of tho resolution, I
was directed to 'allow to the volunteers
engaged in said scrvico no higher pay and
ullowances than were given to officers and
soldiers of rquul grade at that jkmIchI iu
tho army of the United States, including
tho extra pay ol two dollars per mouth
given to troops serving on tho I'uc'fic,
by the act of eighteen hundred and fifty
two."
Fxlra ply fur Ihon who furnished their
own lionet. Considering that it was not
intended to deprive tho volunteers who
furnidied thi-ir owu horses of compensation
therefore, 1 allowed to each of them tho
rate of forty cents per day, as well as the
vuluo iu money of tho clothing ullowcd to
the same class of persons of tho army of
the United States.' How magnanimous,
to Inform tho volunteers that Congress will
givo them three dollars and eighty-six cents
a mouth to pay for tho clothes they wore
out fighting Indians. Then in regard to
stoppages of pny 1 Tho roto of pay being
materially reduced by the terms of tho res
olution, nnd tho prices of the clothing bjing
on a scale corresponding with everything
olsc, which scalo was to some extent arti
ficial, It would seem but fair and reasona
ble that the prices of clothing should be
reduced, to what might bo supposed to bo
the actual cash value. It being impossible
to fix sjiccific prices for tho articles of
clothing purchased, or to determine what
description of articles was issued to each
individual and constituted tho stoppage
against his pay, I concluded to ullow an
average deduction from theso stoppages of
thirty-three per cent, on the amount with
which ho was charged. Tho balance re
maining after this deduction, was estopped
against his pny, tho samo ns if tho amount
had been paid him in cash.' If they had
Hot just beforo been robbed of two thirds
of their wnges, no doubt tho volunteers
would more fully appreciate this scientific
method of 'robbing Peter to pny Pauls.
Tho Auditor goes into a somewhat extend
ed process of ratiocination, nud brings sev
eral witnesses to prove that goods might
Imvo been bought cheaper for cash thnn
for scrip. A nswering a question lo this
effect, proposed by Atkinson, Gov. White
aker says, 'you wish to know whether
' prices for cash,' and scrip rutos of pur
chuse, did not differ from each other du
ring tho sumo current period of tho war.'
' There was iu many instances a differ
ence, nnd In some instances considerable,
difference. Such, however, arose from the
samo cause, or much tho samo cnusc, ns the
difference- of prices iu liko transactions in
tho Indian Department nnd iu the regular
army.'
'In common with tho pcoplo of tho
other States, ' our pcoplo generally made
some difference iu their business transactions
between dealing for cash, nnd dealing on
time. Thero is nothing however In this
particular, or any other, that I am aware
of, which should vitiate, or vary tho allow-
nnco of tho commission in tho premises.'
Pertinaciously following up this idea,
tho Auditor arrives at the triumphant con
clusion, that scrip when issued, was scarce
ly worth its fuco even while Oregon had
complete faith in the justice and honesty
of the General Government, and now, thnt
that fitith is sorely impaired, if not destroy
ed, scrip is worth next to nothing. Good
ogic, and bad morality, in about equal
proportions. The general principle estnb-
ished, that ' a thing is worth what it will
fetch,' and that Uncle Sam Is perfectly jus
tified In descending liko any other sharper
or speculator to buy cheap and sell dear
a violation of one of the plainest principles
of common law, that applies to nations as
well as Individuals is compnritively tasv.
No man shall profit by his own wroiisr.'
used to be a fundamental principle, lint
now Uncle Sam may neglect to par just
dobta until Ids paper becomes almost worth
less, and then try it at its reduced rate to
save money. Most dishonest economy!
Volunteers art turned off with about twen
ty dollars a month, as if they were the
worthless hirelings generally composing the
regular army, while 'herders, 'packers,'
' teamsters,' and laboring man generallr
shown hr the record, when employed
to assist in the Regular service at
that time, received from sixty to ninety
dollurs a month.
' llirt of Vrsoiu.' Tho Auditor says
for persons In Service as laborers, herders,
packers, teamsters, and other similar cm
ployments, I have allowed two dollars per
day. Whero however it has a p ten red
that tho person employed was a chief pack
er or had tho superintendence of others, as
packors, tvamstcrs, herders, or as a spy or
guide, I hare allowed four dollars per day.
Mechanic, Clerk; Agent, (. Tho
prices paid byegulor officers for mechan
ics, tuch as carpenters, blucksmiths, sad
dlcrs, painters, Ac, were from three to fivo
dollurs iter day. I have taken the average
and allowed four dollars per day for sue
services, including clerks, agents, and per
sons acting in similar capacities.
Shoeing Jlorie.' I have allowed one
dollar per shoe, or four dollars per animal
for setting shoes, fifty cents.'
Meal furniihed. have allowed nn
formly, for mouls furnished fifty cents each.
Where it appeared that the meals were to
particular individuals, as boarders for
period of one week and longer, I have ol
lowed six dollars per week.
Hone and Mule. For horses belicv
ed to have been ' Amcricnn,' I hare allow
cd $180, to $210. For ' Spanish and mix
ed breeds,' $100, to $160; and for ' ludi
an,' $'j0, to 90. In southern Oregon, I
have allowed nn advance of twenty dollars
per onlimil. For mules, I have allowed
from $123, to $250, per unimal.
Oxen. For oxen compared with horses.
I havo mado about tho same proportionate
reduction in prices.'
Next in order, nre tho lending articles
of forago and subsistence, such as, hay,
oats, wheat, flour, fresh Itoef, bacon, coffee,
and suiror. The prices allowed by tho
Auditor vary somewhat iu different local!
tics. At Portland and Vancouver the
prices allowed aro as follows:
We aro compelled to defer tho remain
der of our abstract till next week.
