0. S. Official Paper for Oregon.
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1870.
Extravagance. A promiucot Dem
ocratic member of the Legislature re
ceDtly remarked, that there would not be
a cent left in the State treasury upon the
adjournment of that body. Taking as a
precedent the acts of other truly Demo
cratic Legislature.-, the patriotic and
tyrantiy hatiug majority iu the Oregon
Legislature are frittering away the time
of the people in making silly speeches
aud personal explanations, but manage
during the time to spend the people's
money right royally. AH kiuds of ex
pedients are resorted to iu the effort to
drain tha State cash box. Extra clerks
end pages are employed, whose sole duty
is to receive their per diem. Neatly car
peted looms are obtained, at hivrh rent,
solely lor t!.e occupation of the royal
members of the different committees.
The people's money is sent spiquinj in
every direction, all at the behest aud will
of this party, always so clamorous be
fore election tor "economy in the public
expenditures.,'' The sudden and unex
pected power placed in the hands of men
unaccustomed and unqualified to use it,
has erszed and maddened them, and, like
a drunken rabble, tLey seem intent on
doiug only mischief.
From every quarter comes up charges
of extravagance in the manner iu which
the State Printer u executing his work.
If this unlawful extravagance is not
stopped, the printing alone for the pres
ent session will cost mure than tha total
pay of the members. It is even com
puted that at the present extravagant
mode of doing the work, the printing for
the present year will cost $25,000. As
the work will cost the State Printer less
than $4,000, it will at once be seen that
the business is self supporting. This is
only another evidence of the extreme
economy with which the affairs of the
State are to be managed under Demo
cratic rule. Doubtless Oregon tax-payers
are hugely iu love with this new system
of economy, iuaugurated by the glorious
Democracy I bucUeeouoniy willeeitain
ly lighten the burdens of taxation won't
it?
The Republicans elected by the citi
zens of Benton county to represent their
interests in the Legislature have been
turned out by that eminent body of pat
iot Democratic law-makers, and the men
whom the majority of the people con
demned as unworthy to serve them, in
stalled ia their stead. This was not en
tirely unlocked for. The wholo course
of the Democratic majority since the or
ganization of the present Legislature,
has been one of matchless arrogance and
unblusLing mendacity. -The cvideuce
adduced showed conclusive!) that Messrs.
n imam, j'uon ana rveuy receiveu a ma
jority of the legal voters of Uenton
county, and were entitled to their seats ;
but to prove the high regard these grand
chiefs f the Democracy have for the
will of the people of ?enton county,
their chosen representatives are ousted,
and the men whom they refused to
honor with their suffrages, are foisted in
their places- And this is the doing of a
DeiKoera'ic " Legislature. They have
thus thwarted, in the most unscrupulous
and tyrannical manner, the will of the
majority of the' legal voters of Benton
ounty. This party that has been so loud
in its condemnation oi "acts of tyranny and
oppression' as soon as the power is given
it, bhons by itt acts how little confidence
is to be placed in any of its asseverations
or promises, by committing the most
.1 . 3 ... . n m
uagrani ana outrageous acts oi tyranny,
- and that, too, without a shadow of excuse
or palliation. In the light of these out
rages committed without reason or law,
em honest men still call themselves
Democrats and affiliate with a party that
tsounteoauces and upholds such villainy?
.i .
Anti-Demochatic. Senator Stout, of
Multnomah county, recently introduced
in the Legislature a bill creating some
new features in the Charter of Portland
city. The two principal points in the
till arc, first, the granting authority to
tho city to create an indebtedness of
8400,000 for the purchase or erection of
gas and water works, and second, author
izing the Governor of Oregon, immcdi-
ately on the passage of the bill, to ap
point a Police Judge to supercede the
present Recorder, and a Board ol Police
' Commissioners, who shall organize a new
police force in the place of the present
fotce. This bill is gotten up for the pur
pose of humiliating a Republican city,
- ignoring the rights of the people to elect
their own officers, and placing the ap
pointing power in the hands of Gov. Gro
ver and his political satelites. This is
another evidence of the love and regard
the Democratic party ot Oregon has for
rights and will of the dear people. Know
ing that the majority of the voters in
Portland are Republicans, and.that there
Core as long as they are left to choose for
themselves they will elect Republicans
to office, the Democratic party, the mo-,
ment it gains the power, hastens to crush
eat the will of the people as expressed at
the ballot box, takes the re-ins of
government from the hands of the people,
and places it in the hands of a Democrat
ic; Executive. Here 13 an exhibition ef
Democratic popularsovereignty ! We tell
them it is setting a bad precedent, should
this bill pass a precedent that will yet
be bitterly repented by the party now in
power.
Wah NEws.-Telegraroa from Europe
during the week, have contained nothing
of very great moment The news of the
threatened armed interference of Russia
in the Franco-Prussian war, has turned
out to be a canard. A war between Rus

have do connection whatever with the
war bet wee? France and Prussia. The
French .are as defiant as ever, and still
declare tbeir intention of fighting to the

trary the grain market exhibits an astou
tcnishing dulluesss aud depression in all
quarters. The reason given for , this is
tbat the rates of shipping advanced more
rapidly than the price of grain. Wheu
matters will improve, if at all, can be but
a matter of conjecture. The prices of

lower than some months ago. Flour is
quoted iu that city at latest dates at S4 75

matter, however, if Mr. Thomas Patterson
cares to meet Mr. O'Meara "face to fac-?,"
he can have ample opportunity to indulge
in any pastime he may think the occasion
will justify." Business is business, and

A Democratic View. The Eugene
City Guard of Saturday gives this :
After all the fuss and noise made by
the Democratic press throughout the
State of Oregon, it is a little singular
that the present Democratic Legislature
has quietly endorsed the late course of
Williams, and cast its whole Legislative
influence in favor of what is familiarly
known as the Williams' amendment to
the Pengra bill. A few members votad
against the late action of the Legislature
in regard to this matter, but their uum
bers were insignificaut.
What has caused this great change,
both m the public press and the individ
ual members of the Democratic party, is a
mystery. If the opposition of the Dem
ocratic party was well founded in the
beginning, we see no just cause in the
great change manifested in favor of
the Williams project since the .organiza
tion of the Legislature.
From present appearances it mast be
that Williams is largely interested in the
welfare of the Central Pacific Railroad;
thus leading him to oppose every project
which, may tend to lessen the business or
decrease the profits of that road It is a
notorious fact that ttie Union Pacific
Railroad has long been, and is now, rea
dy to give Oregon a connection with tho
Jast by means ot a branch road to con
nect either Portland or some other point
in the interior of the State with that
road at Oprden.
Had the action of the Legislature been
otherwise than in accordance with the
wishes, plans and designs of Williams and
Holladay we should soon have a road con
necting Oregon with the East via Ogden
and the Union Pacific Railroad. The
fact of the case is, the action of the
Legislature is an endorsment of Williams
action nothing more nor less. And
while the cry which was raised against
the so-called Williams amendment Has
died out, the Democracy, by some bocua
pocus, have been dragooned into a sup
port ot the oouthern route.
Now we are not to be understood as op
posing the Southern route in the least.
The more railroads in Oregon, the better
for the country and the people. 1 he
only thing which we object to is that
Williams and Holladay shall dictate a
policy to be pursued, by the Democratic
party of the State. A bold, independent
course should be pursued by the Uetno
cracy in such matters; without truckling
to or consulting, with these great high
priests of Radicalism. When the repub
lican party, was in power in Oregan, no
Democrat was honored with a consulta
tion by that party; and we are sure that
iemocrats are able to take care of them
selves and their interests without the kind
am oi me uepuMican leaders.
O. & C. Railroad. James O'Meara,
Esq., editor of the Bulletin, writing to
his paper from Salem on the 2nd mst.,
gives some interesting facts with regard
to the Oregon & California Railroad. Af
ter stating the distance from East Port
land to themaiu entrance of the State Fair
Ground, (less than two miles from Salem),
to be about fifty miles, he says: Over
that portion of the road f.om East Port
land to Aurora, twenty-eight miles, the
maximum speed is established at eigh
teen miles per hour. Stoppages are made
at the intsrvening stations, as follows :
The Company's machine shops, two miles
from East Portland; at Milwaukie, six
miles ; at Marsh field, ten miles ; at Ore
gon City, fifteen miles ; at Rock Island,
nineteen miles ; and at Canby, twenty
four miles. At this point the up and
down trains to and from Salem meet and
pass. It is named in honor of Major
Geucral Canby, commander cf the Mili
tary Department of the Columbia, and
is located upon a beautiful valley tract,
skirted by grand forests, and between it
aud the north bank of the Molalla river
is oue'of the largest aud deepest excava
tions along the line of the road so far
built. With the exception of the heavy
curve at the Clackamas, aud one or two
curves south of Rock Islaud, the road all
the way from East Portlaud to Salem is
constructed upon such lines as to make it
a "fast time road," and so it will be, we
believe, all the way up the Valley. Al
ready the cars run smoothly over it, with
out jar or oscillation, save at ore or two
places where the work of putting in addi
tional ties and ballasting has not yet beet
completed. In a few days this work will
be performed, and then the road for its
whole length completed can very safely
be ranked as a first-class railroad. . Be
yond Aurora, or "Dutchtown," the max
imum of speed is fifteen miles per iour.
This is established for prudential reasons,
and as the road shall,be more used the
rate of speed will be increased, even up
to the standard of the best railroads in
the Atlantic States.
The curiosity and interest which the
iron horse and trains excite among the
valley inhabitants are still daily manifes
ted at the stations, and along the track,
where numbers or knots of folks, old and
young, men and women, boys and girls,
flock to see the engine aud cars. Of the
accommodation the railroad affords for
travel, and the facility for freighting, all
are learning to appreciate aud take ad
vantage By steamboat or stage' the te
dious trip of a full day between Portland
aud Salem was a dreaded journey, to be
made only when necessity drove. It re
quired the start at the unseasonable hour
of 5 o'clock, morning, and this of itself
was a d.iinpener of spirits for the day.
Now, by tho railioad, one can be aboard
the cars at the good hour of 7 o'clock,
morning, at East Portland, enjoy a de
lightful ride to Salem, aud land there at
halt an hour before uoon, and if the trav
eler wishes, after nearly three hours
stoppage at the capital, he can take the
afternoon train at 2:20 o'clock, and re
turn to Portland by half past 0 o'clock,
evening.
In a few days the track will be laid to
the Salem depot, and from there will be
pushed on towards Albany, as rapidly as
gangs, of men aud every possible facility
at the disposal of the Company can ad
vance the work of construction. In or
der to have the bridge over the Santiam
completed before any considerable rise of
the river this season, numerous teams
have been engaged to haul the ready
dressed wood work and iron for the struc
ture from Salem to Jefferson, at which
point the bridge will be constructed, and
it is safe to say that before the end of the
present month the track will be finished
over the bridge. The accommodation
afforded already by the completion of the
road to the state fair Grounds will be
amply demonstrated during the Fair
eek to commence on the 10th instant.
And the Company have built .there a
capacious heavy-planked platform and a
temporary station depot, well roofed for
protection against the rain.
w
Oregon Controlled by a "Rail
road Ring." The S. F. Chronicle has
the following uuder the above heading :
The Legislature of Ocgoa has. already
distinguished itself by electing a successor
to benator Williams, indorsed the latter s
-ralroad record and snubbed General
Sherman. Oregon, politically, never does
anything by halves, and in her treatment
of the distinguished soldier, whom non
combative Democratic partisan journals
have delighted, and still delight, to assail,
she has discharged a duty she owes to the
memory of the late Confederate States of
America. The election of Kelly United
States Senator, and the indorsement of
Williams in the same breath, have fur
nished the basis upon which partisan lie
publican journals have charged the Dem
ocratic Legislature with having sold ouc
to Ben Holladay and his projects. The
facts are simply these let us do justice
between the exaggerations of contending
partisans: Ben Holladay was friendly to
Williams' re election, because Williams
had been Holladay's best friend in the
Senate, introducing and passing bills to
assist in the construction of railroads ;
Southern Oregon, without distinction of
party, saw that Williams and Holladay s
railroad projects were good for Southern
Oregon. Williams success would insure
the completion of Southern Oregon's
railroads, because Williams was a power
in the dominant Republican party ; so
Democratic members of the Legislature
were ready to jump the party traces and
vote for Republican Williams. ' They
preferred their own interests to the suo
cess of Kelly, Nesmith, or any other
Democratic aspirant. The party whip
cracked fiercely; and the Democrats were
coaxed and whipped into caucus, where a
series of resolutions were prepared en
dorsicg the Williams-Holladay railroad
and requiring the Democratic aspirants
to pledge themselves, if elected, to stand
by Southern Oregon. .The resolutions
passed ; the factious Southern Oregonian
representatives were appeased ; Ben.
Holladay was satisfied ; the "Railroad
Ring" said well done ; Kelly and his fel
low aspirants vied with each other in tak
ing the pledge, and Williams was forgot
ten. All of which proves that a Repub
lican railroad corporation shapes the pol
icy of a Democratic Legislature in Ore
gon, as it did that of the Democratic
Legislature of California in session at
t Sacramento last Winter,
The father of Finice Caruthers was
found, a few months 6ince, a pauper, in
St. Louis, Mo., aged ninety-one years.
The great Caruthers estate, worth some
half a million or more, which has caused
so much litigation during the last ten
years, has been purchased by Mr. Owen
Wade and Capt. Geo. A. Pease, of John
Tfiomas (the father of Finice Caruthers)
for the sum of 33,000.
More Disapproval -That Democratic
organ, the Roseburg Plaindealer, thus
comments ou the conduct of the State or
gan: The Herald of the 24th contains the
following paragraph:
' It appears to have been the purpose of
one man in the Oregon Legislature, in
case he could not be elected Senator, (and
the only hopes he had were by purchase
and treachery), to prevent any one else
from receiving that houor without endea
voring to humiliate him. This was a
spiii' at once dishonorable, cowardly aud
contemptible.
We do "not like the- style of the forego
ing, luuendos are never manly. If any
Democratic member of the Legislature
has been derelict in the performance of
duty, name him, and let us all condemn
him. It canuot apply to any Democratic
member from Southern Oregon, for, so
far as our observation extends, every man
has done his duty, and to the satisfaction
of his constituency. Covert insinuations
are alike "cowardly and contemptible."
A bill introduced to remit the taxes
due the State from Josephine county. Of
course. Josephine is one of the counties
that has about three times as much rep
resentation in the Legislature as she is
entitled to. The county is Democratic to
the backbone; her officials squander her
revenues: her excessive representation in
the Legislature enables her, in connection
with other bed rock, bankrupt, decaying,
Democratic couuties, to make laws for the
State, and at the same time to get. rid of
paying State taxes. How lovely is all
this! Oreymuan.

says an ex change, and is near at hand,
when the ancient thrones of Europe will
be lifted from their mossy foundations
and dashed one against the other. Uni
versal republican liberty is quicVening in
womb cf Time; and for aught wc know, it
may be born on the banks of the historio
Rhine, amid the flame and smoke and war
of a conflict such as has never made the
earth to quiver in its orbit, or painted the
luud profile ol hell on the sky.
