Democratic Retrenchment and Reform.
The UUgant War.
The New York Tribune has been or
the trail of the Tammany politicians, and
as it progresses in its investigations con
cerning the thieving operations of the
Bine, it prints them. It finds that the
leading men, who were Yery poor a few
years ago, suddenly acquired im
lEense wealth ; and this wealth has been
acquired out of offices the legitimate
emoluments of which would barely afford
them a comfortable support. Pursuing
the investigation on this point, the TV
Jntne finds that the records show that
daring the year 1370' these Democratic
office holders, although holding offices
the legitimate and honest incomes from
wfiich were barely sufficient to meet the
actual demands of life, have made real
estate purchases to the enormous extent
f S,e46,101. Verily the "financial'
ability oi New York . Democratic office
holders is "peculiar." " The records show
that of this amount Tweed & Son pur
Chased real estate in New York- to the
amount of $509,350 ; . Peter B. Sweeney
& Oo.( $80,977. How much these par
ties invested in Stocks, bonds, and other
securities, besides their real estate pur
chases, is not known. As New York
City is governed under Democratic rule,
o-would the whole country be governed
bad Democracy but the chance. It is a
fair sample of what Democrats mean by
their cry, always heard on the eve of an
important election, of "Retrenchment and
Reform." , Our people have a slight
inkling of what Democracy means by
"retrenchment and economy in the pub
lic expenditures," in the acts and doiDgs
of the last Oregon Legislature. It is
kind of "economy" that piles up " huge
' taxes and increases the burdens of the
people. Let the people reflect j let them
look at the course of the Democratic party
wherever in power, and see if the effect
f their "economy and retrenchment"
r Las not been to double and tliribble tax
ation and thus impoverish the State.
The passage of the thieving litigant
act by the last Oregon Legislature is pro-
ucing its legitimate results. It was
passed by the Democratic majority for
the special benefit of Democratic organs
it compelled the people of Oregon, re
gardless of party predilection, to patronize
Democratic journals selected by Gov.
Grover as "litigant organs," at rates often
much greater than those required by
journals equally if not better known and
responsible. Yet it seems that one of
these same Democratic journals was not
satisfied with this distribution of spoils,
but must needs claim the lion's share, to
the detriment of co laborers in the Dem
ocratic truck patch. The Salem Mercury,
litigant organ for Marion county, com
plains that T. Pattersoa, of the Portland
?ra7, wants to corral not only all the State
Printing, but the printing for each of the
counties besides. "We do not arraign
Mr. Patterson '8 Democracy," says the
Mercury, "jtor the Democracy ot the Jler
ah?, hut all this does not abscure our vis
ion to the fact that a Democrat can, once
in a great while, be a hog, and attempt
to satiate his voracious maw even at the
expense of his best friend." It Will be
remembered that all along the Mercury
has been defending the State Printer
against the charges that were being made
by both parties ot gross frauds and steal-
The Free Trade Question.
Each and every year upwards of three
hundred millions of dollars must be raiged
in these United States for the support of
the General Government. There are two
ways of raising this revenue the first,
by duties upon imports and exports, the
mode uniformly adopted since the forma
tion of the Government, and tho second
by direct taxation, the only alternative
if the first be abandoned. Under the
operation of our present laws, when du
tiable goods a're brought into the United
States, the party importing such goods
pays the amount of the duty imposed into
the Treasury, and in this way the reve
nue is raised. Whenever the'present laws
arc repealed and free trade is inaugura
ted, -foreign" goods of any character will
be permitted to enter free ot duty, and of
course, to raise the fcoUU,UUU,UUU reve
nue necessary to "run" the Government,
direct taxation must be resorted to. Then
our people .would begin to fully appre
ciate the glorious benefits so much prated
of by our advocates of free trade. As
the Constitution of the United States pro
vides that when direct taJcdlTon is resort
ed to, each jSlafe mist 2)a& according to
its pojmlat ion, without regard to its wealth,
we see at once, that, instead of decreasing
the burden of taxation, of which loud and
long complaints arc now made, we in
crease our taxes more thea four-fold.

A bill is now under consideration be

not without positive merit, and must
commend itself to the thoughtful consid

- duly announced in Court, shall be taken
" and held to be the verdict of the whole
jury- The New York Tribune, in com-.-
mentiog upon this rather novel proposi
- tion-, says it appeals to the common sense
of everybody. In this city, as elsewhere,
we frequently comment upon the disa
greement of a jury simply because one
obstinate juror would not coincide in the
views of the other eleven. In such
- eases tho power of one is greater than
that os eleven, and the wheels of justice
: are stepped. It is not very difficult at
' times to secure a single juror, and com
mon sense suggests that where one holds

law in the other respect, to-wit : that which re
quires him to have and to keep a complete job

away from the Capital and divide the profits with
Pagans. We are in earnest about this matter.
We asked the State Priuter early in the Winter,
to let the Merenrif job offiee do such work as he
was not prepared to do, lor we knew that the
commission he had been allowing the Republican
offices was more than or entti'e charge fur like
work. It would have paid us better to have done
the work for Patterson tliau for ourselves. But
he could not allow us tbe poor boon. Whether

The Darien Ship Canai. A corres
pondent of the New York Tribune writing
from the headquarters of the Darien Ship
Canal expedition, under date of February
26th, gives some very interesting details
of the progress made up to that time.
lie concludes :
To sum up what has been and what
is to be done by the expedition, it may
be stated that there have been found
on the Atlantic and Pacific slopes two
points to which ships may be carried.
That on the Atlantic side is forty-five
miles from the Gulf of Darien, at the
junction of the Arato and Cacarica rivers,
while that on the Pacific side . is about
forty miles from the ocean. Uetweeo
these two points, which are distant about
fifty miles from each other, there is a
dividing ridge of low hills, not exceeding
ia any place 400 feet in hi"ht and ot
very little width. The problem to bo
solved by the engineers is : ''Where is the
lowest poiat of the divide aod through
what part of the intervening country will
it be most feasible to construct a canal?"
Commander Selfridge has already found
a feasible route, but it is believed that a
much better one may be found, aud for
that reason the corps of engineers will
continue the exploration of the country
until tbe rainy season begins: this will
probably be about the middle of April,
so they still have over two months in
which to continue their labors.
The determination beyond a doubt that
the Darien Ship Canal is feasible, render
ing unnecessary the long detour vta Cape
Horn, is a more important victory for
commerce and civilization than any other
accomplished fact of the' century. .The
London limes and other influential jour.
nals hare constantly ridiculed the idea of
the feasibility of such a canal, but science
will ultimately, we believe, dissipate all
doubts, and prove what patience, perse
verance and intelligent American indus
try can accomplish. ,
We have received the prospectus of a
new paper, to be published by Messrs.
V. E. Hicks and S. VT. Raveley, at
East Portland, to be entitled tbe Demo
cratic Era. " We have known Urban for
a number of years! know him to be a first
class printer and a "good boy, ' as the
world goes, who will print s neat, reada

sound Democratic journal ia that section
of the State, and the Era will doubtless
fill the bill.

it would make tho rich richer, and the
poor poorer. Everything owued by the
farmer would be fully taxed, while the
lordly owner of millions in cash and
stock and bouds, would escape with com
paratively small taxes. To thoroughly
carry out and make efficient the operations
of a direct tax, an U. S. assessor and a
collector, would have to be appoiuted fur
each county in the State, thus creating au
additional tax, to pay them for their serv
ices, which the people would have to
shoulder. It cannot but be plain to every
man gifted with common perceptive fac
ulties, that a change from the present
system of collecting revenue for the pur
poses of the Government would be preju
dicial to the best interest of the poor man.
Under a system which has received the
commendation of Washington, Jefferson,
Madison, Jackson, Clay and Webster,
and all the great and good Tiien of the
early republic, wo have grown and flour
ished beyond a parallel in the history of
nations. This being the case, we deem it
a duty the Government owes to the whole
country to continue in force laws that
have in the past accomplished such great
and gratifying results. "
Our Southern Oregon Correspondence.
Empire City, March 21, 1871."
The little steamer Argo, which plies
on the Bay and its tributaiies, was seized
by a United States officer, for violation of
law. It seems that she .had. without a
license, bee,n carrying passengers. Her
owner, Capt. Claugh, has gone to Port
land to try to get her released. Hope he
may succeed, as his all is invested in the
boat, and he has a family depending on
his earnings. Besides, the boat was a
great convenience to this part of the
country, as she made daily trips to North
Bend and Marshfield, and weekly trips
up the various, tributaries of the Bay.
Though she was not licensed, there are
many mitigatins circumstances in her
case.
The tug Escort, while trying to get
out to bring in a vessel, a few days ago,
stuck on the bar and knocked off about
six feet of her flse keel. This occur
red in consequence of the stormy weath
er, causing the channel to close about up.
When I wrote you last, I supposed the
storm was over; but it has continued to
rage, with short intervals, ever since. Tbe
last week was the most stormy of the
season. No vessel has gone out for six
weeks, more than a dozen are now lay
ing in the Bay, ready for sea.. The tugs
can bring them in when they can not take
them out, on account of thc-ir being more
lightly loaded when coming in.
A sad eent occurred here last Satur
day. A few weeks ago a man came
down here from North Bend. He brought
with him S225, a "White Hall" boat,
shot-gun, and a few other items. He went
into O'Connor's saloon and commenced
drinking, and kept it up till tho day of
his death, whieh occurred last Saturday.
Tn less than a week his money aod prop
erty had fallen into the hands of O'Con
ner, who then went and notified the Sher
iff that the county must take care of the
poor wretch. By this time he was afflicted
with delirium tremens. The sheriff took
charge of hini, but left him in care of
O'Conner. He lived two weeks after
this. Last Saturday he died, and was
buried Saturday evening at the expense
of the county. O'Conner now brings in
a bill of fifty dollars against the county,
for taking care of his victim two weeks.
He took the man's money, and property,
and caused his death, and yet, as greedy
as the grave, clatuois for rr ore. But as
long as a government, that claims to be
civilized, will license men to carry on
such business, sush conduct must be ex
pected and tolerated. W. D. N.

In 1815, after the overthrow of Napo
leon, the allied powers exacted from
France an indemnity of $307,000,000, of
which a littTe uiore than half was the ex
penses of" the war occasioned by Napo
leon's return from Elba, and the remain
der as part payment for the contributions
which the French troops had levied du
ring previous wars. This sum, Alison,
the historian, calls "probably the greatest
money payment ever exacted from any
one tiation since the beginuiug of the
woild." As security for payment an army
of 150,000, under the command of the
Duke of Wellington, was put in posses
sion of sixteen of tbe principal fortresses
of France, for a period of not less than
three nor more than five years. France
paid off the debt in three years, besides
giving 50,000,000 extra to be relieved
from the presence of foreign troops on
Iiersoil. In audition to t'uis lar-re 'sum
the Legislature voted 8200,000,000 as au
indemnity for the nobles who had lot
their estates by the revolution. This sum
is not more than hall as large as the in
demnity now exacted by : the Germans,
but r ranee is vastly more able to pay
money now than she was then.
A discovery of great interest to archae
ologists is alleged to have been made re
cently in Iowa, on the line of the project
ed Dubuque and Minnesota railroad. The
workmen while engaged in excavating
for the road, m tbe limestone, at the
foot of a bluff, are said to have come
upon a flat stone covered witn strange
characters. Ibis being removed open
ed the way into a passage about four
lect wide and bix feet high, leading di
rectly into the heart of the bluff. At a
distance of about fifty feet from the en
trance, another stone, similar to the first
had to be removed, when a large cham
ber revealed itself, cut out. of the solid
rock, about twenty-five feet square and
twenty feet high. The floor was hard
and smooths, while the walls ana rooi
were carved in rude sort of basso relievo.
with figures of birds, trees, stars, serpents
and chariots. ' The south wall was adorn
ed "with a representation of the sun, and
immediately below this the bgure ot a
man in the act of stepping out of a boat,
and holding in his hand a dove." So far
tbe revelations were not very ditterent
from many previous ones in similar caves
and rock : chambers throughout . our
Western country. But the most curious
part of the discovery was yet to come.
A flat slab in the floor of the cave being
raised, revealed below a vault filled with
skeletons of unusual size, the largest
being seven feet eight inches high bv
actual measurement. By the side of
each skeleton was set a small vase filled
with yellow earth, beneath which were
found animal bones and particles of ani
mal matter. - The skeletons were placed
in a semi-circle toward the southwest.

States lives near Lincoln. 111. Her hair
is of that peculiar hue that a field oi ripe
wheat throws towards tho getting sun.
Her eyes send forth a light so effulgent
and majestic that strangers become spell
bound under its influences and stand rud
Iy gnzing. Her cheeks bear a bloom
like the sunny side of an early peach. A
pearl would teem almost black beside
her teeth. .Her form is so graceful that
men worship her before seeing her face.
Her hands suggest the idea of waxen
fingers tipped with vermilion. Her smile
seems actually to illuminate her presence
aud when she laughs the listener fancies
he heats 'sweet music in the distance.
