substitute the bill reported by the com

Ibr the one originally introduced
which is equivalent to the final defeat
f the bill. Aid from the General
Government now being refused, the
citizens of Oregon arc thrown upon
( their own resources, and through their
own efforts, if at all, must the means
be secured to open up communication
with the East by railway. Tlie pres-
eut route, by ocean to San Francisco,
Is not only disagreeable and to some
xceut hazardous, but Is very ex pen

now bear setieavily upoa the best in
(tercets of the State, Oregon can never
nopo to occupy the psoud position in
the sisterhood of States to which her
unsurpassed resources ot material
wealth entitle her to. If we would
deserve "outside" aid in nu undertak
ing of such magnitude as the building
of a railway to connect Oregon with
the East, we must show the "outside
, world" that we are uot only worthy,
but We must put the enterprise upon
such a basis as will inspire tfie confi
dence of capitalists in its success, and
convince them that it will be a paying
business investment. . Once convinced
of its success, and that it will be a pay
ing investment, no trouble will be met
with in securing all tlie means nec
essary to build and eonip tlie road. It
Is a matter of vital Interest to tlie
whole State, and every roan and woman
throughout its borders is interested in
the solution of a problem so frought
with blessings or evils in tlie years to
come.
KnnVrlng- in Kansas.
A lady writing from Grover, Ottawa
county, Kansas, under dare of January
21st, 1S75, to her sister in this city,
corroborates the tales ot suffering and
destitution which have readied us from
that State from time to time during
the last few weeks. We have kindly
. been permitted to make a few exti-acts
from the letter, as tliey are convincing
proofs that the whole truth with re
gard to tlie suffering in that State has
never been told. The letter says that
tbe grmsshopers visited that portion of
Kansas about the 25th of July, de
stroying everything green, except a
light crop of wheat that had been
harvested a few days before. "The
grasshoppers deposited their eggs and
were batching and leaving until late
in the FalL The grasshopper ravages
extended over a breadth of country
. estimated at 400 miles east and wet.
and 500 miles north and south." Tlie
letter coutinnes: "You wanted to know
something about tbe destitution in
my neighborhood. I will say to you
that everybody is destitute, more or
less, some worse off than others.
Tlie re are hundreds ot people here
- that are bound to suffer and finally
-die, if they are not helped. . The
wealthiest of men have all they can
-do to take care of themselves and
families. I actually know of some
families that are now living on bread
and water, and have got their last
-grist of wheat ground, and no possible
chance to get any more. You say that
the ladies ot Albany have organized
an Aid Society for the purpose of gett
ing help for tlie destitute. Now I
-will say to you that your help is
needed right here as bad as it can
.possibly be anywhere else, as this dis
trict has suffered as bad as any part of
-the country. And I would further say
to you and your Society, that if yon
.are successful in obtaining supplies
4r4u had better send them direct to the
riejods, and not to tlie men who have
jpeen Appointed by the State, as com
plaint is daily made that the proper
. oersos, taoso in need, never get the
Articles seatto them, especially money
These agenia confiscate all the val
c liable articles to their own use and de
fraud tbe poor and needy. Tbe hard
-tiroes tor the people are yet to come.
By Spring everything will have been
consumed in the way ot food, and the
country will be destitute of seed of all
kinds, and no money to buy with
The weather has been very cold
this Winter, colder than ever-known
before, which makes it still harder for
the people here, who, on account of
their poverty are compelled to go
much thinner clad than ever before.
Thousands of people all over that
region of country are suffering for tbe
commonest necessities of life, and our
people are -called upon, from . out of
their aounaance to give mat numan
Jife may be saved that our fellow
creatures may be saved from starva
tion. Let our . pcopje renietnber that
it is more blessed to give than to re
ceive," and come at once with their
offerings, not only of breadstuff, but
of clothing, blankets etc. None are
too poor to give let all give some
thing.

Oar Mississippi Letter.
Saudis, Miss., Jan. , 1875,
We have been having regular freez
ing weather, and several days of good
skating, but iro snow. The thermome
ter has been c own as low as eight de
grees above zero which was the case
last Sunday, tl e 11th and this morn
ing while I write the ponds are covered
wltli a pretty substantial coating of
ice, and the ground is frozen hard.
Some of us would like to see a line or
two appended to the bottom of this
letter in the Register, giving a com
parative statement of the weather in
Oregon about the same dates. You
have no idea how difficult it is to make
people down liere believe that you are
not all freezing to death in Oregon
As you did not publish my second
letter, I am to presume either that it
was not received, or that its contents
were not entirely palatable. Let me
therefore say right here, that I shall
only write you ueirx no political ar
gument, or anything prompted by fa
vor or prejudice, but just simply what
issroinrron and beins said and done
in this far distant portion of our vast
county, rriie letter referred to has
not been received by us up to this date
Ed. Register.
You are doubtless already advised
that the Vicksburg affair (of which I
gave you a pretty correct account in
my preceding letter), is undergoing an
investigation by two committees Leg-
islativeand Congressional. The latter
is making , thorough work, and as a
majority ot each are Republicans,
much anxiety is felt on the subject ot
the forthcoming report, for the im
pression has obtained that the Con
gressional report will not be favorable
to some ot the leading State officials
and olher Republicans , while no one
doubts that the Legislative committee
will make everything clear the other
way. The truth of tlie business is. the
imported Republicans of Mississippi
seem to be a distinct race eui generis.
and they don't seem to desire or be
willing to affiliate on equal terms,
politically, with any native of the
jsoucii, unless ins ski a De amber or
ebony hoed. The impression , Is that
these two reports will open the eyes
of the Republicans of the whole conn
try to the true state of affairs In this
State and in the South generally.
wnere, as a general ruie, southern
Republicans are almost powerless.
being outgeneraled and overcopped
by "carpet-baggers," whose citizen
ship and Interest in the State depends,
in many instances, on their success In
making it pay.
Grant has unquestionably made one
mistake. Now, I voted for Grant,
but I can hardly endorse tlie introduc
tion of federal troops into the Legis
lative balls of Louisiana, to expell such
men as might be designated by Gov.
Kellogg or his agents. Every Legis
lative body is the sole judge of the
qualifications of Its members and their
right to the seats they claim, and I
tear the President has suffered himself
to be inveigled into a mesh of diffi
culties iii the Louisiana matter from
which he will find it difficult to ex
tricate himself. Old Ben Butler's
bill for a new eleetjpp from fp to bot-
torn seems to be the only direct way
out of the troubles and I am no ad
mirer of Old Ren. Nothing will be
done with Southern affairs,! however.
until the Congressional committees
make their rejiorts. The truth is,
things have gut' into such h muddle
that (laying party feeling aside), it is
very difficult to determine who is right
and who is wrong in the disturbances
that have occurred so rapidly within
tlie past eight or ten months. You on
the Pacific wuist are blest, for you are
far removed from the turmoil and
strife that exists here, and will, I tear.
continue to exist as long as white and
black live together, ami political hacks
and aspirants have power or influence
to keep the fire aglow. How long,
O Lord,, how long ! !
I have heard of numerous murders
and other oulrases in the State re
cently. One entire family was mur
dered and robbed over at Hannon in
the eastern part of the State. Hus
band, wife and two chi'dren were
killed, seven hundred dollars in money
stolen, and no clue to the villains who
did' tlie deed. A Air. Jack Smith,
south of Memphis some five miles.
was shot and killed in his field within
hearing of his house and family, on
the day after Christmas, and the mur
derers have not been found. In Oc
tober last, a white man named Nahoe
was tried in this county upon an in
dictment tor the murder of another
white man. He was acquitted. A
few weeks ago his body was found in
the woods near his home, and be had
evidently been murdered some time
befote. No clue to the perpetrators.
These I mention and stop. I must.
however, mention one thing that oc
curred in this town this Week. A man
named F. M. Bonner gave his three
months wife a drubbing, was arrested,
tried, convicted and fined one hundred
and fifty dollars, and sentenced to ten
days Imprisonment (which last was re
mitted) the same day ; tried before the
church and expelled the next day.
and is now living under the contempt
of the whole community. I hope lie
won't emigrate to Oregon.
Ladies enquire of me orally and by
letter, as to the prospect of obtaining
employment in Oregon as teachers. I
am unable to give 1 them reliable and
satisfactory information. Can you do
so? When in Oregon I learned that
the State was blessed with good schools
and plenty of them, and this would
indicate that there is no lack of teach
ers, and no opening lor persons of
either sex seeking employment in this
line. Should I be mistaken, a note
appended hereto correcting the error
will be duly appreciated. You are
certainly correct, yet there is always
an opening for first class teachers, at
remunerative wages. Ed. Register.
J have come to the conclusion that
Volney Smith, Lieutenant Governor
of Arkansas, is a much abused man.
Since looking into the matter, I confess
his claims to tile Gubernatorial cliair
seem rather more plausible than they
did at first glance, and there is no
earthly doubt that the Democrats
wtien tuey got the power, were as
anxious to inaugurate a Democratic
administration and throw'the Republi
cans overboard, and in as big a hurry
to do it, as the latter would be now to
oust tlie Democrats. But whether the
modus operandi adopted by the Demo
crats was altogether comme il fmtt ad
mits of very serious doubt, and I am
inclined to think Volney did no more
than any Democrat, or "any other
man" would have done under similar
circumstances. Whether he can ever
get Into the office of Governor, how.
ever, i quite another thing ; and I am
inclined to think he never will, for, to
use a Mississippi term, I am rather of
the opinion he has been euchred. Tlie
fact W the way things have been going
on throughout the South generally
since the war, would not only puzzie
a Philadelphia lawyer, but would. I
have little doubt, put the devil him
self to his trumps to understand and
unravel thoroughly. A conscientious
man finds it hard, very hard, to make
up his mind to have anything to do
with politics at all,- on either side,
down here. He readily concludes that
"the post of honor Is a private sta
tion."
Cotton continues down, and mer
chant continue blue. Times have
never been so stringent since the close
of the war, and there is no demand for
property at all at any price. There
are. as I liave written you heretofore,
many who want to go to Oregon, but
unfortunately, to use tlie language of
the Savior, "though many are called
but tew . are chosen." It being im
possible to sell out, it is equally so to
raise money to get away with ; and as
a coi 'sequence a large number who
want to go, ere anxious to do so. and
have been calculating on it, will not.
simply because tliey can't. Still, there
will be some ; and from the letters I
am receiving I am led to believe that
the emigration to our northern fron
tier State will no be frqm Mississippi
alone, but from all the Southern States
between the Mississippi river and the
Atlantic seaboard. And I should not
be surprised if. in time, Oregon has
among her population the pick of the
