SPECIAL MEETING OF THE EXEC

LINN COUNTY BIBLE
SOCIETY.
Albaxv, Or., Dec, 11, 187C.
The Executive Committee of tlie L.lnn
County Bible Society met, awl was called
to order by tlie Chairman, Eli Carter, Esq.
As the Secretary, elected at the first
meeting or the Executive'Committee, Prof.
K. F. Sox, lias, since that time, removed
from the State, the office of Secretary was
declared vacant, and
Oh motion. Coll. VanCIeve was elected

After considerable discussion as to the
time and manner of holding the annual

On motion, it was ordered that said

cember, 187"? at tle Court 'House, services

Ou motion, ordered that the Bnsiuess
Meeting ot tlie Society be lield at tlie M. E.

o'clock p. M.
On motion it was ordered that tlie annu
al collection tie taken up at the Court
House, on the occasion of the annual meet
ing of the L,. C. B. S., instead of at the
several churches as heretofore recommend
ed. On motion, tlie following programme

E. CARTER, Chairman,
Coll. Van Clkve, See.
The Pi iH.ic School Exhibition Fri
day night last, in the Court House, called
out an immense crowd, tlie court-room be
ing filled to its utmost capacity. We be
lieve tlie general verdict was that all done
well that the exhibition as a whole was a
grand success. The larger portion of those
taking part in the exercises were children,
little girls and boys, and nearly all gave
evidence fhat they had studied their parts
well, and had thoroughly learned them.
The entertainment consisted of solos, quar
tets, recitations, declamations dialogues,
etc. It was certainly a complete pro
gramme, well and thoroughly carried out,
and was a credit to the pupils as well as
Hm i.. ....... .1 . ... ....
oieiaieiit, nnu assistant teachers
of our public schools. There was one cause
of complaint, and that was that a number
pf little rascals congregated in the gallery
of the Court House, and during a greater
portion ot the time occupied by the exhi
bition, kept up such a din tliat those on the
stage could scarcely be heard. This matter
should be looked to In the future, and par
ties who refuse to behave tliemselve, should
at least be ejected from tlie house.
Congregational Sociable. We stated
last week that the ladies ot the Congrega
tional Church of this city would hold a So
ciable at the Opera House on Friday even
ing, December 15th (this evening), for the
benefit of the Church admission, 25p; sup
per, including oysters, 50c. Of course
there will be a supply of Ice cream, etc.,
for all who desire, ami for tlie further en
tertainment of those who attend, selections
from ''Mother Goose's Melodies" will be
enacted iu appropriate dress. From the
ability and vim of those engaged in getting
np tne entertainment, we are satisfied U
will be a grand success. We advise oil to
get there early, that they may enjoy an
evening of nnaloyed pleasure, while lend
ing meir aw in a good cause.
Enterprise. Two companies were
organized last week, in one of which there
were fifteen and in the other ten stock
holders for the purpose of raisins; funds to
Send put prospectors" into Eastern Ore
gon where the recent rich silverdiscoveries
liave been made. Both companies have
started out men who are experienced in
the business and who will doubtless make
a good report ere long. We wish both
companies the best of success, and hope
rich and paying mines may be struck early.
, :'
Wheat spun up to qimj dollar per bushel
prj Monday. Some wheat holders now de
clare tjiey jyjii not sell for less than t 25

there is not the usual amount of wheat in
the county to be sold at $t.

OIIB VALLEY.
To one accustomed to the dull gray color
of the dead forests with their thick growth
or underbrush that cover the Willamette
Valley on the west, like a vast stubble
field, how beautiful is the scenery about
Jacksonville. Instead ot the blank weird
sentinels of ashen hue. pointing heaven
ward till lost in the cold, gray fog which
wraps them round like a winding sheet,
we see all the variegated hues of nature,
from the dark green of dense fir forest ami
brighter shades of the laurel and manzanita
to the sere and yellow leaves ot the black
oak. And the same gray, which in the
dead forest is so like death itself, seems to
twine about our foliage like the bridal veil
of morning.
Sti oiling over the hills above the town
we find everywhere the ruined huts ot t he
rough miners of early days, whose toriner
owners, some with once bright liones and
prospects blasted, and others on whbui the
tickle goddess deigned to smile, are now
scattered and gone, leaving the broken hill
sides and ravished canyons, tit emblems ot
tlie (frontier life, which gave place to the
herder's flocks and the thrifty farmer.
Tlie Rogue River Valley, comprising, as
it does, between three and " four hundred
thousand acres of arable land, at an average
elevation of from one to two thousand feet
above the sea, possesses not only a product
ive soil, but as tine a eljinate a can he
found on the Pacific Coast. We are rhr
enough south to escape not only the severe
winter's of Eastern Oregon, but also the
excessive rains of the more northern coun
ties. I Ipapii, hy tne papers and correspond
ents in various parts of the Willamette Val
ley, that it has laincd there almost con
stantly during the past mouth, while we
have had but twenty-tour hours hard rain,
with a few light showers during the ui;ht.
within that time. The rain lias been quite
sufficient, however, for farming purposes ;
a much heavier fall would prove a great
benefit to onr miners.
It) admiring the broad plain stretching
away to tlie north and east, not one at all
conversant with practical life would fail to
recognize at a glance the vast resources
which lie dormant, all about us for want of
transportation. Of these the foremost W
lrnit. it is well known that grapes grow
nere whii a tnritt almost equal to those
California and their cultivation is a I read
receiving considerable attention, and I hav
been creditably informed that onr peachc
are tar siqierior. while tigs, apricots an
nectarines nourish, though thev have not
yet received much attention. Anil as for
apples and pears we challenge America.
Besides fruits we might cultivate lici ts.
for the manufacture of sugar. This is coin
paratively a new industry iu America, but
I never saw a country that was better
adapted to if. than rhis valley. As to
market, if enough was raised to supply the
nome market alone, lor the present,
would prove a great benefit. Flax al
Plight be extensively raised, but would be
more diinciiit to get to market than gome
other things. k.m will crow here abunt
antly, and it formers would raise it tor tlie
purpose of fattening swine in place
wheat, they would find the pork produced
merijuy to oe or superior quality and In
creased in value In proportion.
But in canvassing our resources I know
of none that offer greater inducements to
one acquainted with the business than tha
ot iiairyiug. e liave a line grazing
country, and'everything favorable for it.
a no it some enterprising party, with
small amount ot means would "put up
i-nevse laciory. at any convenient point it
this valley, it would certainly pa v. Am
as Mr a market for butter and cheese, if tl
business were properly managed, the sup
ply ior nome consumption alone would be
quire sufficient tor tlie present and even if
compelled to freight with teams it would
pay for better than wheat raising. With
good facilities for tranportarieu enough
butter and idirese could be made i II this v:ll
ley to supply the whole country west of
me isncky Mountains.
Of cr,iu:se tljese resources mentioned are
but a small part ot what onr vallev is capa
ble of producing, but I was only consider
ing some of thoe which offer the greatest
inducements, under present, circumstances,

Hlng-nlar judicial Vtteraaeea.
The speech made by Judge Willanrl,
of the Supreme Court ot South Caroli
na, in relation to tlie attitude of the
State Board of Canvassers, was s re
freshing bit of judicial oratory. We
imagine that it requires a Southern,
Supreme Court Judge to invent arid
deliver snch elocutionary exuberances,
and that they would be looked for in
vain in any other part of tho civilized,
globe. Here for example is a gem that
deserves to be immortal : "This Courfc
i clothed with majesty. Wo do nofc
speak tlie Voice ot men. We speak in,
judgment, and judgment is the voice of
God." What under the eun Judge
Willard meant by this, passes merely
human comprehension. Apparently he
intended to Bet up the papal claim of
infallibility ior the decision ot that
Court ot which he is a bright and shjiu
ii g light. For if the Supreme Court of
South Carolina speaks tho voice of
God it is clear that there can bo no ap
nea! from ita i n1 rrmoiitkj and rvtio e-i ri

Diis implication of this is that the func
tions of -the Supreme Court ot the
United States are hereby abrogated.
For of coime the latter body could not
le so presumptuous as to traverse the
Divine decrees, and consequently it must
accept whatever the Supreme Court of
South Carolina chooses to do or say,
as filial or conclusive. This ia a brand
new legal doctrine, and must strike rh(
public mind with the force of a largp,
sized thunderbolt. Precisely how we.
are going to carry on any kind ot a
Goven.inent, when every State Supremo
Court becomes a Divine Oracle, girted
with infallibility, and peenpy the high
office of God's Vicegerent upon earth,
is not so apparent, but no doubt tha
Supreme Court of South Carolina is
prepared to enlighten the world upon
this matter, as it has already fjopnpon.
the nature and scope ot its functions
and powers. We tremble for the rash
and miserable lioard of Canvassers,
since, we know what blasphemy and
sacrilege they have unwittingly comr
milted. Had they but been a warp,
when they refused to obey the mandate,
of the Court, that they were setting
their finite wills and understandings
against the judgment of God, as rep
resented by the Supremo Bench, they
would unquestioitabiy have bowed jti
pious resignation to trie power that
guides and governs all things, and not
have compelled the Infallible Court to
cap them iu jail for their contumacy.
