SATURDAY, OCTOBElt 29, 187o!
The CooJ Templar organ in Idaho is
called the Bi Monthly Mountain Rill.
"Chipmunk" quartz ledge at Owyhee
is fabulously rich. It is from three to
four inches wide only.
The Portland Railroad Charter Amend
ment has pasied the Legislature, but it i
intimated that our precious Governor will

The total loss of the atcauiship Cum

ed a fit subject ljr bribery, according to j
his own statement, said bribe being I
proffered by a member of his own party,
aud an old acquaintance. Mr. Fulton
charges that he was approached by Mr.
Seller, of Portland, an old Democrat,
who promised if he (Fulton would vote
for the Portland Charter Amendment he
(Seller) would see that it was one or
two thousand dollars in his (Fulton's)
pocket. If this charge be true, it shows
how highly honor is held in the Demo,
cratic fold! It proves that after all this
cry of corruption and bribery, made by
Democrats in the Legislature, whenever
a democrat wishes to have a. "dead
thine;" on a measure before that body,
his first uiovo is to bay up Democrats 1
All seem to understand that this howl of
corruption and bribery is merely a
"blind" an invitation to "come and
tee ua."
Next Monday is the day appointed for
the drawings in the grand lottery of the
San Francisco Mercantile Library Asso
ciation, tho first prize in which is S1Q0,
OOQ. It is said thera is wealth enough in
Boston to give, on an equal division, to
every- man, wcuian and child $3,000.
When the "divide" is to transpire is not
stated.
The Democratic Legislature passed a
bill -en titled "a bill to protect litigauta,"
which should have been entitled "a bill
to'snpport Democratic journals," as that
is really the intent of thi bill.
Ben Hol'aday has enough iron to lay the
O. & U. railroad track forty miles beyond
Salem. It is being rapidly hurried to the
front, so that the 100-mile stahe may be
reached before the nnt3 of winter set in.
The Oregcmian argue that, since the
Oregon Legislature has established the
precedent that a Republican minority
has no rights whatever, aud their scats
in thiit body are given away as fast as
Democrat apply for them, Congress
should not allow a State, even so small a
One as Oregon, to po beyond it in liber
ality, and therefore advises tiat Judge
Wilson be given the scat claimed by Mr.
Slater. What right h:is Slater and Kelly
to go to Congress and ask seats in that
body, when it is palpable to everybody
that the Republicans have even a greater
majority thcro than had the Democrats
in the Oregon Legislature ? The idea is
absurd 1 Slater has no more right to a
seat, if as much, in Congress, than had
the several Republicans who were sum
marily ejected from tho Oicgot Legisla
ture; and the Democratic party being
greatly in the minority in Congress, he
would be of no manner of rise to tho peo
ple of Oregon while On ere, and might as
well be sent bac'i, properly labeled, o

The fifth plank iu tho Texas Demo
cratic platform is "the payment of the
public debt as soon as practicable."
Democracy is just alike everywhere,
especially in Oregon.
A French agricultural journal , esti
mates the losses of farmers, in the seven
departments which have been invaded by
theOerman armies, at 5300,000,000, and
the loss of uLle bodied men, who hare
been swept itito tho French armies, at
400,000.
It 19 announced that J. II. Ilayucn,
A: B. Halloci and W. P. Burke have
been appointed by the Governor as Police
Commissioners of Portland. Th same
authority says that J. II. Lappens will be
Chief of Police.
It i.-i announced that, on account of ill
health, Attorney General Akcrman will
resign, and Senator Williams will bi
appointed to succeed him. This ap
pointment would meet the full approba
tion, not only of the people of the
PaciSc coast, but .it the whole country.
No fitter man for the position could be
found.
The first fire nutrailleure.? taken from
the French by the Germans, were cap

Kmlroad Sionals. The varieties !
fthe "toot" of the locomotive, aud the
gyrations of the anus of the conductors
by day, or lanterns by night, arc about
aa intelligent to most peoplo as first-class
Choctaw. As the "koera" will soon be
here, we hasten to "post" our readers in
the meaning of these signals. Following
may be relied upon as by the card :
One whistle "down brakes."
Two whistles "off brakes."
Three whistles- "back up."
Continuous whistled "danger."
A rapid succession of "toota" is the
cattle alarm, at which the brakes will
always be put down.
A sweeping parting of hards on a level
with the eyes is a signal to "go ahead."
A downward motion of the baud, with
exteuded arms, "ttop."
A beckoning motion of one haud, to
"back." I
A lantern raised and lowered vertically,
is a signal for "starting," swung at right
angle or crossways of the track, "stop."
swung in a circle, "back the train."
A red flag waved upon the track must
be regarded as a signal of danger. So
with other signals given with euergy.
Hoisted at a station, it is a signal for
a traiu to "stop."
Stuck up by the road side, it is a sig
nal of dunger on the train ahead.
Carried unfurled upon an engine, it is
a warniug that another engine or train is
on its way.
The reports from the scene of conflict
in Europe are so diverse and contradicto
ry, that it is almost impossible io get at
the true state of affairs there. The chiefs
of the French Republic express entire
confidence in the ultimate success of
their cause, wh",e the stubborn Prus
sians are slowly following up their former
successes and seem perfectly confident
that ihey will eventually enter Paris,
wnere they will dictate teims of peace.
Fighting is still progressing around Paris
and various localities in France, some
times one and sometimes the opposite
party being reported successful. Iu the
meantime the country is being rapidly
depopulated by sickness and starvation.
The end must soon come.
.Our Democratic Governor ' has given
evidence of more "sand" than even his
friends credited him with. He has found
'courage sufficent to veto the bill increas
ing the salaries of the Supreme Judges to
3,000 per arnum. He claims to have
"Constitutional" objections to signing the
bill! Such a reason form such a source
provokes a broad smilo. Constitutional
objections ! Bah !

The Chinese Question The Chi
ueso question' -was the all-absorbing
topic of the lait canvass. Democratic
orators and papers made the "heathen
Chinamen" the burden of their speeches
and leaders. Grover, the great Chinese
Stockholder, made tho entire canvass on
the "hordes- of rat caters from China,"
who were about to deprive us of our
homes and make a Chinese colony of
glorious Oregon, j His seeming earnest
ness in depicting the fearful results to
ensue from Chinese emigration to these
shores, and the assertion that Democracy
would do nil and more to pit vena this
emigration in fact, stop it at once if
the poweT were given it, induced many
Rtjpublieaus to vote for Grover. Iu fact
the Chinese question afforded Grover the
"big opportunity," and" he successfully
Uiiproved it. As to the sincereity of all
the balderdash about Chinamen in the
last campaign, made by Democrats, our
people can judge by the acts of those who
succeeded in getting into office on the
strength of it. ' Every effort to legislate
against' Chinamen : has failed, aud the
champions of such efforts have been made
the butt of ridicule. Look at poor -Amis'
"Queue ' Bill." Read the columns of
sarcasm that were hurled at this cham
pion of the "queue from Lane," issuing
from the mouths of the very men - who
aided and abetted the "big Chinese
scare" of the lato canvass. To make the
Chinese question mote ridiculous," aud
entirely kill off any further effort to leg
islate against Chinamen, last week Mr.
llendershott introduced a bill "To have
a Dead Thins: on Chinamen," which
hows what Democracy now thiuks
of its electioneering gabble during the
canvass :
Be it enacted br the Legislative As
sembly of the State of Oregon.
EC. 1. rso Chiuanian shall be allowed
The amendment to the State Constitu
tion, as offered in the House by Dr. Alex
ander, of Linn, provides that members of
the Legislature shall receive for their
services a sum not exceeding 6 per day,
providing that such pay shall not exceed
in the aggregate 83GU for any one session,
and no extra session shall continue long
er than thirty days. Provision is also
made for a separate Supreme Court,
composed of three Justices, who shall not
preside ij any of the lower Courts. The
amendment also provides : To the Gov
ernor, Judges of the Supreme and
Judges of the Circuit Court, and Secre
tary of State, shall each receive 3,000
per annum ; the State Treasurer tliall
leccive an annual salary of 52,400.
The Oregon ia a asks : What is the
Governor's t-hare in the great swindle on
the school fund ? A little attention to a
fact or two will show the pertinence of
this inquiry. When the bill to authorize
the robbery passed the IIoue a member
(Mr. McClain) gave uotice that he would
move a reconsideration. This notice
should have been good for three days.
But the bill went to tho Governor who
immediately signed it,- and thus an
opportunity to reconsider was not allowed.
What was the occasion of his Excellency's
haste? We know that Senator Kelly
had a personal iutcrcst in the job ; now
what part of the profits of this spoilation
of the school fund t'.ocs the Governor
expect to receive ?
.Albany, Oct. 27, IS'TJ.
Emroa Rluisteu: A dozen oi two
of the resident of our town had the
pleasure of hearing a lady lecturer a few
evening's since, in which lecture was
shown, or endeavored to be shown, the
reasons the anti-woman's suffrage party
have and hold as excuse for their position.
The bill announcing the lecture was so
ambiguously worded that we could only
guess as to the side of the question the
lady intended to present, and the lecture
itself played at fast and loose on tho sub
ject at such a rate that a legal gentleman
who listened attentively during the dis
course, turned to me at its .close and
asked, "Is she for or against the franchise
for your sex ?"
She started out with the cheering
information that California is almost
unanimously in favor of femal emanci
pation : said that the matter was laid
before the last Legislature, and its advo
cates were so persistent, and upheld their
cause with' such apparent good logic,
that it remained for Her to achieve the
high honor of delivering before that
august body, and by her own unaided
efforts, "defeating the bill." We had
all heard and read so much of the imbe
cili.y of the California Legislature that
We were ready to believe it possible for
almost any adverse power to sway it, but
it remained for' the feminine champipn of
a.dyir.g cause to tell us why that honor
able body did not, in at least one instance
hearten to the voice of its constituency.
A feminine lobbyist, by her own showing,
defeated the will of the people of Califor
nia. She admitted that her cause was hope
less ; said that su Hi ape for woman was
inevitable imagine va little applause
here but that it will ouly serve to array
sex against sex ; and that it is quite
possible that it will cause the sex, at
some future day, to exterminate each
other 1

To show 'that the "Constitutional"
objection that Grover brings forward as
an excuse for vetoing the bill for additional
pay to the Supreme Judges, is ail bosh,
we have only to refer to said G rover's
messagcr, in which he advises the creation
of a. sperate Supreme Court. Did he
not know when advising the Legislature
to take early action on suoh a measure,
that he was urging the Legislature to do
that which the Constitution of fhe
State expressly prohibits ? In this
matter he was either uninformed, or else
he has no regard for the Constitution.
No wonder that Senators laughed with
derision, when G rover's veto was read, at
the idea of his "Constitutional" objec
tion. Our immaculate Chinese hobby

withal!
