Volume Fi vk. This number closes
volume five of the REGISTER. If we
linve deserved the patronage of the
public in the part, we liope to make
the REGISTER till more deserving Ota
liberal patronage in the future. At
the coiiniieiicemcnt of the year we
adopted the cash system payment of
subscriptions in advance experience
satisfying us that in no oilier wav
could we publish the REGISTER with
profit to ourftelf. We shall continue
the same line of policy in the future.
All subscriptions ending with tiiis
utimbcr will lie dtscoiitinued, unless
payment for another year lie made
U tore the issue of No. 1 Vol. 6. It
U much the best plan, both for the
publisher and the subscriber, to pay
tM you go: the subscriber is iu no
worry about duns, and tlie publisher
knows to a dot just bow far his finances
will allow him to indulge in any ad
ditions or attractions that may suggest
themselves for the benefit of his pat
rons. - We hope the cash system will
receive tlie endorsement ot every one
of our readers, and that many new
ones may lie added to our lists.
Okck More. There are mite a
number of persons in Linn county
who are indebted to us for the REGIS
TER from the first number issued, to
number 17 of volume 5 four years
mid four months. All of them, we
believe, have been dunned, and all of
them promised to pay but, we are
sorry to say, with one or two excep
tions, all of them have failed to make
good their promise. They owe us tin?
money, and we are not able to make
them presents of tlie accounts; but it
they will come forward and pay us
toy time during September, 1873, we
will allow tbem reasonable di-comit
on their bills. We make tliis offer as
an inducement for all to pay up, as
we do not wish to sue on each account.
We simply want what is due us noth
ing more.
Republican Primary.-The attend
ance at the Republican primary in this
city lat Saturday was the smallest
within our knowledge, seventeen
being the highest vote cast for any
Delegate. Our Democratic friends
who met to elect delegates immedi
ately after the adjournment uf the
liepubiicau primary, claim to have
had a larger attendance, a prominent
Democrat telling us that they bail
twenty-five Democrats and three

inary examination held before Justice
Crow, on Wednesday, at Jetterson,
the following facts were elicited:
Charles Miller, an old man, and James
Slater, a soldier of the late war, got
into a dispute iu relation to money
which Slater alleged Miller was owing
him. Miller was riding in a wagon,
iu which rode another man and a
woman, while Slater was on horse
back, leading another horse, bei.hid
the wagon. Suddenly, while words
were passing between the two, Miller
drew a derringer, fired at and hit Sla

Is reported to have been in poor health
for some time past, was severely
wounded while fighting the battles of
his country, and in consequence there

Looking out of our office window tlie

"smarties" arm in arm. iii a half

every passer. Arriving at tlie corner
of the street where stood a youth ot
about 'heir own ase from the country,
the one oil the outside gave tle other
a violent push sending hun butt with
his shoulder against the country boy,
nearly knocking him off his pins.
They then took to tlwlr heels. Tlie
victim of their ill-manners looked after
i beni a moment, and then quietly pur
sued his way. This act of these two
boys was not only ill-mannered and
mean, but cowardly, which nothing
but a good spanking would correct.
