In tlie mean time I was loniling my gun at tu

ap and we both tried to path the door open,
but could not. Beale then picked up a log of
wood, mine throe feet long and eight or ton
inches through, with -which fie hurtled the door

came out and told mo to go in and look and lee
if I could find any money. While 1 wai in
the home, Keale camo to the door and told me
to break open the stair door and look p thero,
which I did. I looked iu soveral boxes, but
found no money. I then enmo down, went out
in the yard, and Beale went up tain. When
lie came back, he told me that he could not find
any thing tip there. He told me to go into iho
kitchen and search there, which I did, getting
the key from the littlo negro buy, but found no
money. At thii timo I did not know whether
Beale bad got any money or not.
We then left the hnuso and went to wliero

nesse in court. Wo came to loivn on lame
route as iwom to in court by Harpolo and oth.
rs. On our way home, Beale asked me If I
had found any money. I told hiin I bad not.
I then asked him if he bad found any. Ho
aid he thought he bnd some seven or eight
hundred dollars, if It Has all gold. There was
nothing irore said about money until we got to
the old cabin in Strong'! pasture. Here we
stopped, tried to wash the black of our faces,
and Beale gave me $.riOl) in gold coin, myitis
that was ball' of what money he gut.
1 bad no idea that any one suspected ino un
til my arrest. At the preliminary trial I billed
to make a full confession of the murder, hut
wns induced not to confess by my altorneys,
who said that if I madu a confession, such was
the excitement among tlio people that a mob
would raise and hang me before I could get out
of the house n hero tlio trial was being held, or
to the first sign-post they came to. C'utou told
mo that there would be no trouble about get
ting clear; that I would have to slay in jail un
til court met in March, when I would comu out
all right. The first timo my attorneys came to
the jail after the preliminary triul, lleale mudo
a confession to them, lint did not tell it correct
ly. In a short time, Caton ic Curl enme in Iho
jail Again, and wanted to know how much
money I had itot, and where I had put it. I
refused to tell them at that timo. Cuton said
they Would be obliged to have money to carry
on the suit with, or they never could clear me.
still refused to tell ilium about the money.
Caton It Curl came buck in a few days again,
and said that I surely had money, and Mint iliey
would have to have it. 1 tbeu told Caton
where the five hundred dollars wero that I got
from Beale. They then left the jail. Caton
came buck neit day and said he could not find
the money that he would have to have new
directions and a diagram showing where the
money was, which I gavu liim, and I also lold
In in til nt I hnd Ihreo hundred und eighty dol
lars of my own money buried in my wood-sheil.
Ho then said that there wero men digging up
my wood-shed and looking for money, uud if
they found it, it would bu evidence aguiust (lie.
I told Caton that if he found that money (three
hundred ami eighty dollars) to givu my n ilo n
portion of it, which he did not do. The next
time bo camo back to sea me, I asked him if be
had found the money, to which he made an
affirmative nod of the bead, and took mo into
my cell and ipld me not tn let Beale know any
thing about it. I have since sent the sheriff,
Dan Delaney, ami John Davis to the idaoe
where the money was buried, and they found
it ns I told them, hut the money had been taken
away. At this timo he told mo that he would
go to Portland, but be would tell the people Hint
he was going to Yamhill; that he would go by
way of French Prairie, and hire a Frenchman
and a balf-breed to come and swear that they
taw me on the Oth of January last, late in the
evening, drunk, on French I'rairio. In a short
time after this, Caton again came to the jail
and tol I me that all was right ; that be had
hired a Frenchman and Imlf lircrd to swear for
me ; and snid that there wns no trouble in hir
ing witnesses down their l that be could have
hired a dozen if he bad had Hie money ; and
said the only difficulty now would bo to get the
Frenchman and half -breed to sco mo in jail, so
that they would be alilo to recognize mo in
court : and if they could not get to seo mo in
the Jail, that ho would have a friend of mine
to point me out tu them in the court house.
I never knew but Iliey would ho there and
iwcurasCulou said, until inr attorneys snid
they would rest. I (lieu asked Caton where
tlio two witnesses, that lie got on French Prai
rie, were. He had said that they had broken
Into a store at Fairfield, and be was afraid the
prosecuting attorney would reoognite them and
impeach their evidence. Caton and Logan
told me all the while never to make a confess
ion; tnat the people would hnug mu ami my at
torneys too if I did. 1 told them Ihat there was
no chance tu get clear, and that I would fare
better to make a full confession, and throw my
self upon the mercy of the court. They said
not that they uould get me out all right ; that
it wus not mo the people were alter, but lleale.
Sumo two weeks before court convened,
Beulo and I wero separated. I was put up
stairs, and not permitted In talk tn my attor
ney! privately; but when court met, Logan got
an order from the court to seo me pnmtelr,
nnd cuine up and bad a talk with me; said
Beale had been telling him that he had got
mute thirty thousand dollars, and wanted tn
know if I knew anything about it. I told him
I did not. .
From what I ItnotvAliiiut the matter, I think
the money tlio attorneys got from lleale was
Deluuey's money. 1 saw the old silver dollar
that Beale speaks of. iho next day after lb
murder. I would here ny In the attorneys, if
they got Hie five hundred dollars thut T told
them belonged to Delaney, to givu it Uek In
the Delaney boys, as it is Justly theirs, and the
iilturncy have no right tu it. And 1 am sure
Colon as good as told ma he bsd got the mo
ney. - I also Ikiuk that they might tn give the
money they got from lleale back tu the Dela
ney. boys, liotailhstauiliiig they say Ibal lleale
told them it was bis own money which, if
did, be surely was mistaken, or did it for some
other purpose. What Beale says now alio it
the runner (IMlHI) must be true, as there is no
object in him or myself getting into an aberra
tion with our atloruej e. It would surely make
the matter worse fur a la have I lie ailornrvi
iay we were not telling the train, and we rail,
not tell the truth without Implicating them In
the money moltrr. I bold no malice againn
my attorneys or any one rise. If my allium ys
days were numbered, as mine are, iliey might
lb. nk somewhat is 1 do about refunding the
money lo the Delaney boys.
Bight here I wish In say that my wife Is en
tirely innocent of knowing anything of. or bar.
Ing anything tn do with, the murder of Delaney,
She knew nothing about it until 1 made a coii
fession. 1 have ooiiiniilled a great crime, and

llcule't Statement about the Money.
Wo give tlio following extracts front Bualo's
confession lo as to explain tlio statements
about the money obtained at Delaney's house,
As stated before In this paper, Beale Insists
that they got only $l.m from Delaney's
house, 500 of which was given to Baker, and
the balanoe kept by Beale. Baker gives an
account of the $300 1
I will now go back tif where I left Daker,
close to Dan the butcher's slaughter house. I
came from there straight home. Cnme over
the hill by Jo Smith' ; crosse I tho oreek on
the foot bridge; -came down to tho new grist
mill race ; put what money I bad nuder tho
plank raoe close to tho dam; left It thero nn
til next evening ; went about six o'clock, raised
the money, and went up the creek by the
brewery, by Mr. Dillon's, and by Mr. Waller's,
house the one that stands in the field, close
by the creek ; about one fourth of a mile be
yond that, in the brush. I buried the ney in
a cigar box in the ground, Tho amount of
money was fourteen hundred dollars, in twenty
dollar gold pieocs, and one old silver dollar
that was battered on the edgo.
On Monday, the first day of my preliminary
trial, 1 told Caton whero that money wns ; told
him to go and get it and put i' nwny until I
told him what to do with it. He came to tho
jail, next day, I believe, and said he and Lo
gun went, but could not find tho money, lie
said that bo and Logan ciiine near having a
fight, Logan accused him of playing him ;
said that bo knew whero tho money was, but
wanted it all himself. Ho said that Lngau
told him be was as great a thief us I was. Ca
ton said bo tried to trot nivny from Logan and
go alone, but he could not get clear of him ; be
watched so close. II then warned me not to
tell Logan whero any money was, for he would
raise it and keep il.
Logan told mo that I. U Moores and many
others had koiiu over the long liridgo to look
for money. 11 u then asltcil mo il mere was
uny money over that way. I told him there
was not. He then asked mo where there was
any money, and 1 told him upon this side of
the creek. Ho asked me wliut mini hi money
il was. I told him twenty dollar pieces. He
said that was good ; ho was afraid iliey wore
so. no of those d d old niiaru fifty dollar pie
ces. Ill) wanted me to turn Colon & Curl off.
and said they would get all tho money, aud
then I might hang aud bu d d ; Ihat all they
cureil fur wus tho money, uud not for llukur or
myself.
Tlio nxt day, (Wednesday.) I gavo Caton
new directions and a diagram of tlio iilaci whore
the money wns. After that, ho and Curl both
lold nni that, they had gono as directed and found
Ihe money, ami find brought the cionr-linx that it
was in, broken it in small pieces, ami thrown ir
Ihe mill-rare. Caton told me, in the presence of
Curl, that ho had thrown the old dollar In Hid
river, or croek I do not rotnomlior which; but
one or tho other, I often spoke lo Colon about
that money, una told him not to disturb it, and 1
never know any bolter until Judgo Strong ciimc
to tho jail, In company with I.mp;io, the llrst. week
of tho court, and said Logan had spoken to liim
to assist in my trial, ami wanted to know if I
could make him secure in Ins nay. the next
morning, C'alon came to lite jail and said Ihat
ntrooir was douhtliil ahoul lus p.-iy, and that lliat
thirty thousand dollars mut bo raised ; that
Strong had been making inquiries, and found that
my land wus held by a ludiriiiunt for as much ns
it was worth. I told linn I would hava lo make
use of some of Ihat joiirteen hundred dollars.
Ilo then snid. thru mailt to ilii murk funt abtiut
the money, that he had to dieide it helireen Lagan.
I art, unit htmeetj ; J Ins was Iho 11 ml Hint i knew
that that money hnd boon disturbed. 1 spoke
sharply to Caton ; told him thai be bnd no right
to disturb ono dollar of that money. Kiueo my
confession, I told the sheritT and John Davis
where the money wns buried. They went to the
place, taking wilh them (ieo A. Edes, and found
everything just as 1 had told them. 80010 blue
paper was luiind oil the ground that had been in
Ihe eignr-box, but the box and money wns gone.
Now, something nhout this thirty ihoiisnud
dollars, so often spoken of. This is nil a f.ibrica-
of my own. As 1 have before said, my atlorimys,
like everybody else, Humplit thero wns a Inrire
amount of money somewhere; and money was
what Iliey wanted. I lirst lolil them Iho truth
nhout thu money, but thoy did not bclicvu 1110.
I thoiiirlit that hy telling thorn 01 this money
Iliey would attend tn my enso hotter, expeciiog

house. 1 tool mem that when wo tell the house,

a circuitous ronto to a lilac.) I had prepared bn
forelinnd. I told them I had dug a hole, carried
nwny the dirt, and brought stone to HII up lie)
hole, instead of dirt. 1 lirst lold Caton nhout
tins supposed money, nnd afterward told t'alon
ami l.ognn together. Logan wanted 1110 lo t
the place, so ho could send a man, by tlio itnoio
of Koott, ihnl hu hnd brought up from Portland ;

IS IT KKIOXHTKIT'TION 1
Kecoiistructinn is now in the inntitli of every
body 1 and tho iiowspnpers nro lull of it. If
people did not know better upon reflection,
they would certainly conclude, from what is
said and read, that the Union bud been dash
ed into a thousand scattered und discordunt
elements, which were now vainly fiidcuvt ring
to get together again which wero being "re
constructed." The term " reconstruction "
implies a previous dissolution. This wo cannot
admit. It wits not admilted by 1'resident Lin
colnit is not ndiuitted by President Johnson,
nor by any sound, sitfo leader in the Union
party, nor by the great mass of tlio loyal peo
ple. If wo ml in it tlio necessity of a recon
traction, we admit nt once thu whole rebel
tIP)lry a legitimate dissolution of the Union.
We admit seoession to be a legal possibility,
and the Union a, "1011500," us Jeff. Davis
tunned it.
Hut with nil this ginring inconsistency in the
nso of the term "reconstruction," wo doubt nut
but tho word will cniitinuo In be nsej tu deslg
nnto, w hat would be more properly termed the
reorganization of tho ilinni-gnnized Southern
States. This reconstruction theory seems tn
b but the counterpart of Iho 'coercion" theo
ry, started at the out-break of Iho rebellion.
At the time. und prior to iho first call for troops
by President Lincoln, Union men and demo
crats niiarri'lleil nnd heat I lie air, uhnut the
power nf Congress tn "coerco a sovereign
State," until tho practical sense nf Mr. Lin
coln dispelled thu illusion nnd severed thu
Oordiaii knot by proclaiming his intention "tu
retake and possess tho pulilio properly," and
warning rebels in arms to disperse to Iheir
hnines." A common senso view, dhcorrred
at once that it State, a political municipal or
ganization or corporation, could nut be coerced
or forced to do uny thing, but that if the people
or any of its people, member of the urbani
zation, committed treason llinj could be coer
ced to respect thu laws, and if they rebelled
against the laws or rightful authority, Iliey
could bo punished ; and lints tlio "unti" or "tin
coercion" doctrine, started nnd industriously
promulgated nnd defended by the demucruts'in
order to screen I be Southern traitors, w as
shown to bo Hie merest sophistry.
Nuw let us seo what thero is In "reenn
struct." Sec. 2 of Art. VI of tlio Cuuslitulion
of the ('tilled .Slates declares, "This Constitu
tion and the ItiHsoftho United Slates which
shall be made in purrtmncA thereof; and nil
treaties tiiaile, or which shall be made, under
the aiitlioiny id tho United Stales, iut7 be ihe
lupreme luwnf lite land, and (bo judges of ev
ery Statu shall bu hound thereby, anything in
the Conititulinn or lawt nf any Slate to the
contrary nijivithstamling." This being so,
w hat bet nines of Hie ordinances nf secession
in Iho Southern Slates, and tho nets or Inn's
made in piirsiiaiiuu thereof! They are simply
tho evidences of the treason nf tho parlies
making Ihein. They did not dissolve Iho Un
ion. The Constitution of Ihe I' ruled Slates
has, in Ihe ubovo section,' wisely provided for
the perpetuity nf I Ik- Union. ( it Ike supreme
law of the lnn, nitliiu i s sphere, anything in
any Stale law, ordinance or constitution lo the
contrary notwithstanding. Tlio ordinances of
secession, uud nil ncto in pursuance thereof,
were simply nullities. They did nut, could not
affect the identity of I lie Statu nn a political,
municipal corporation within the Union. Geor
gia was just as lunch a "Slate" in the Union,
after the ordinance of secessinu bad been sign
ed nt Milledgeville, as it was before. The en
trance into ll.e I'nion was a voluntary compact
from which thu Stale of Uenrgiu, as pSlnle,
could nut be extricated, snvo bv a successful
rebellion or revolution of llie people, or mem
bers of the Stntt. A majority of the people
of Oeuigui did n-licl; committed treason
ngiiin.t Iho United Slates; hut Iheir rebellion
failed. When now is Ihu Slate ? Is il out of
the Union, bet-ause a majority of its ptoplc
turned Irnilois f .Not bv any means. The
stains uf the Stale in Ihe Union is unaffected
nut its people, who rebelled, have, by their
Ireas I t all their rights, nnd sue'., is Hie
condition of every Stale wliiili pretended lo
secede J What then is lliero to reconstruct J
Nothing. The United Slate! is as much the
I'niled Stale as ever. The Union of the
Stales is ns h-gallv intact as ever. It is true
there is something to ho d tin ; but il is not a
reconstruction of the Union. As President
Johnson expresses il, the Stales which have
been the theater of Iho rebellion, and are now
dirorgauized ill consequence I hereof, are to be
"put on their legs again." They are In be re-
organized again. And if there are loyal men
cuough lo "111011 Ihe ship," they are, uccording
Iu the President. entitled to represent the Slate
in Hie I'nion. This is snbstatttinllr the view
of Ih) present administration and the great
mass nf the Union pnrly in lite couulry. Iu
opposition to this view.lhero are the extremists
who always meet and embrace some
which boilei tin good lo I ho country.
On one side, we find Chandler, Sumner,
Wade, and othi-i uf the radical type, contend
ing that the Slates which have been disorgan
iled by rebellion, have lost iheir existence as
Stales iu ihe Union, nml arc now In be treated
as Ternlorier, subject tu Ihe supervision of
Congress 1 and thai Iu get back lulu the Un
ion, they must pres. lit new constitutions just
a Territories do. Ou Ihe other hand, wo find
Snulsbury nnd the other democrats in Con
gross, and llin nglunil Ihe country, contending
that Ihe Southern Slates have not been iliior-
gnnili'd, and thai their present Legislature! of
rebels, and their present rebel Slate officers,
are entitled tu represent Ihe State in the Un
ion, While ihe former elns may be nidoned
an erior of Judgment, in holding that the treason
of individual destroys Ih life nf the Statr,
the latter tlita cannot bo rroogniied a other
than aider and abettor of treason, in desir
ing to see a minority uf Union men iu each
Sootheru Stale, crushed and reined forrter.by
the majority of traitors, aud iu desiring to r
St.tes again represented in the Unior, and in
the halls f Congress, by men whose hands
ar yet reeking wilh th blood or murdered
aud starved Union soldiers, and a murdered
President. Iu Ihe rrurganiialioti of lb Sooth
rrn Stlr. th initial steps mast be tntfn .
der Ihe auspice of lb llrnrral Oovernment
Tbe iiiillluiy coiuiiiimilers und soldiers must
see Ihat niino but Ihoso who nro truly loyal,
those who huvo opposed secession from the
first, as fur us circumstance would.permit, urg
permitted to take part ill renrgaiiizing the
State governments. And these few and fuilh
fill Union men, must also be prntectcd by L"
inn bayunels, uulil Iliey lire sufficiently strung
to niaiiilain loyal government, and tl"3 P1'110"
nild order or. society. If this aid was nut ex
tended, tho Union men would be overpowered
by the returned rebel snldiors, und slavery anil
treason would drive every Union man fr the
country, and the State would be practically
just about as much in rebellioti as if its citizens

A DANIEL lit .UK TO JITIGUEM!
We tiilin the following extracts, in small

will appear sufficiently ridiculous from lucre

Has this any reference to the "Spartan mo

Klate is to he determined by the Lcnisluture, which is
the sole Indue as to tho exi-t e of such emergency.
It Is the exercise of a purely political power, upon u

It is not. therefore. nnbcft to review or liable to be con
trolled by the Judicial' department or the Stale, tlie
Legislature is. therelore.lhe proper Judge ot the con
struction tu be given to the Constitution upon this
subject. , .
In the exercise of tlielr rightful authority, they have
decided that tho exigency has arisen demanding the
exercise of the power, ami they have directly declared
that the object of tho law and debt created by it is "to
aid In repelling invasion, suppressing Insurrcclioii, on
forcing tlie laws, and preserving ami protecting the
public property i" anil this decision cannot be reviewed
or set aside by this court.
It will ho seeu by this decision, t hut the
court held that Iho exorcise of the power to de
termine the exigency and create a State debt
'under Ihat prini-iou nf tho State Constitution
(and tho provision in our Constitution is the
Bailie, except ns to tho ninnuiil of indebted
ness), was ono of a politicul nature; entirely, to
be exercised only by the Legislature, and nut
subject to be reviewed by any. court. The
Legislature of Oregon having determined that
it was right und proper to increase tho State
ddit abovo the sum of $,jO,OIIO,l'or the purposes
mentioned, tho bonds issued therefore are good,
uud cannot be questioned by nny court, upon
constitutional grounds.

have been understood, of being such, would bo a dis.
grace. Arena,
Very we I, Alien, take yutirmvn pnsitiun and
stick tu it. Wu say that it is thu duty uf Ihe
government to iig rebel I'aden, at tttch.
What is the difference between one murderer
and another I Didu t the rebel lenders, as
inch, raise armies uud levy wnr against the
United States ? Anil is that not treason f And
is nut treason niinishahlu with hanging t Did
not theso rebel itrinies every soldier of tlio in
a traitor uccording to law shout, kill iiiul
murder Union soldiers by the thousand ? Did
they not murder in cold liluod, Union eoldicrs
nt Fort l'illow, alter they had surrendered ;
nnd did they tint bury others alive ? Did not
the agents or the rebel leaders, nt Libby I'ris
on, Andersnnvillo and oilier pluces, deliberate
ly nnd maliciously murder, by starvation, Ihe
Union prisoners committed tn their charge ?
And, tn cap thu climax, or all tho inhuman
barbarous, savage, demoniac, hellish, nnd ex
ccrable crimes that ever cursed the light ur
heaven in any age, did nut these rebel lenders
meditate, plot, nnd consent to the assassination
of Abraham Lincoln ? Why, sir ! these rebel
leaders, at tttch, have committed more crimes
and caused niuro misery, pain, uud suffering
than would damn ten thousand worlds ; and
yet, forsooth, iu Hie eyes of n democratic edi
tor in Oregon, ami of p- nco democracy gener
ally, it would be a disgrace to hang these trai
lers as "rebel lenders."
Vi rily, Iho gentleman would make treason
fashionable and respected, and ofl'era premium
to murderers. And such is democracy.
The Dkmocuacv is Tltuini.E. Tho Demo
crats nro in the Slough of Despond just now, as to
what conrso to Inko noxt. lis fetid curciiss luiv
ing been chnrged with and proven guilty of all
the crimes in the catalogue, even to thu Assnssi
nation ot tho rrcsident, the more discreet propose
lo change its name. Tho Hyena proposes to
pet into sheep's clothing, or, "steal tho livery of
Heaven to serve the Devil in," hy claiming that
Andy Johnson, lienerals Grant, Sherman, and
Sheridan nro of their politics exactly, and Ihat
they hare had to defend then nil Ihu time. The
Copperhead .Vcie York Xcirt lias actually bad the
clTroiitery to set up such a claim.
Tho rank and file, in this Slate under tho leader
ship of O'.Meain will never consent to part with
tho old ininio. It makes no difference however to
I'liioii mt-ii, whether tho Democracy eii.-iues its
mime or not. So long ns its leaders adhere to the
Moloch of Slavery, the "Leopard's spots "will
not bo changed. The wnr has unt il up all tlio
man and pnrly worship thero was in the Nation,
and henceforth the people will not bo cheated by
parly names or lenders, hut will follow only prin
ciples. As matters stand now, the peopi,, under
stand Ihe Democratic leaders too well to be fooled
by any rh.mgo of names ur Indies ; and whether
Iliey make a change or not it is all tlio same to
