&ttfi8ttti F AtBANY, OREGON, JULY IS, 1877. TfLS GROVER MATTER.- The investigating committee are still inquiring into iheGrover matter: A large-number or witnesses have been wimmwtedy. who, generally speaking, have obeyed the summons and answer ed the questions' propounded to them. Mean, ilosier and Tic Trivett, so far, have lotted to pot in an appearance, al thongtr eagerly sonsht tor. - It is vital to G rover that at least hosier should bo produced. The evidence so far is pretty much vf the beamy kind;- no ooe knows or wfll'tell, anything- posi tive, from his own knowledge. We have dim visions of members of the Legislature who were poor aod wanted coin ; 'of certain members reported to be ia the market at a thousand dollars each; of a -Portland banker with a carpet bag fall VfjT&oiD, supposed to be G rover mon ey, and roach other matter of a similar tenor. Bat so far we have no positive, straightforward evidence that any one was jpaid bo much cofn to vote for gro ver.") And it is11 possible that sach evi deoce may not be obtained. It Grover is guilty he should sutler the penalty ; ... . . ' a. a be a mocent, he sfaoaKi clear nis stiru from every suspicion of guilt. Nearly all the witnesses state that there were rumors that money bad been used in the senatorial contest, and where there is so much emote there is generally some fire, and it will take positive evi dence to the contrary to relieve Mr. Grover of the odium at present resting upon him'. ' Men who sell themselves io politics are about the last to aid in the exposure of tLe crime. A CHANGE FOR THE BETTER. Under the heading of "State Control of Railways," tho Oregpnian has some very interesting remarks, from which We quote. The4octriue of the "vested righto"-of railway corporations, based upon the decision of the Court ia the Dartmouth College case, has tor years been the commonly received opinion. Under this decision it was held that such corporations wore beyond legisla- aocl fares ; that railroad companies might, with perfect impunity, charge the most exorbitant and oppressive prices for freights : and fares, aud the State be powerless to modify or in any way interfere iuhe matter. Recent decisions ot the United States 8opreme Court, howeverT overturn these losg-time accepted opinions, by greatly tnodrfying and even limiting the powers which these corporations hare for so long been generally supposed to derive from their charters. In fact the current CI recent decisions ienas w apse mu old theory of "vested rights," and it any how be regarded as settled that very railway corporation h subject to the general power of the late, and that the State ' cao prevent ' unreasonable charges as common carriers, and the ju dicial or legislative authorities of the Elate are to be the judges of sooh un reasonable charges. The latest decision it in regard to a road that crosses the Btateof Iowa. A prominent rauway corporation of 'Chicago leased the road, ssd the. Court decided that the road waa subject to the law of Iowa as to Charges for transportation, although the lease waVeffected prior to the passage eftbat law. The broad principle is Jid down that the common carrier has ' no right to charge more than a reason. able compensation, and all corporations are subject to this restriction. The pawer mat created tnese corporations certainly baa the power to control The principle that the State has con. Crol over railway corporations being now prackUy established, the citizen need complain no more of "grinding monopo lise," as e has it in his power tc "rega. UW jtrices down to a reasonable .fig we.

The annexed telegram, taken trom yesterday's Oregonian, is the latest from the seat of war : Walla Walla, July 11th Indian Su perintendent Watkins telegraphs : The hostiles have forced their way past our cavalry and are now at Kamia, on the way to Bitter Koot. Their success has induced other Indians to join them in small bands. More troops aie needed. From Lewiston to Mipsoula, by way of the Lolo fork trail across the Hitter Root mountains, is near two hundred j miles. This Is the route the Indians are supposed to have taken. MORE TROUBLE. A special to tho N. Y. Times says the indictment of Gov. Wells and An derson, at New Or'eftns; does not meftt the approval of Gov. Nicholls, but was instituted by Attorney General Ogden who is leader of the Bourbon element in Louisiana politics, and who stubbornly resisted all efforts to reach an amicable adjustment of the difficulties. It is be lieved the prosecution will not be upheld by a great majority of the State, and it persisted iu will divide the Democratic party there on the Bourbon line. IMMIGRATION BUREAU. The Fairmount Park Commissioners, who represent the city of Philadelphia, have given Lee Craudall the use of Ma chinery Hall, in Fairmount Park, a building which covers 14 acres ot ground, for the establishment of a Na tional Immigration Bureau. In this building all contributions from tho dif ferent States and Territories will be ex hibited tree of charge ; and Mr Craudall urges the people trom all sections of the Union to send to him for said exhibition specimens of minerals, vegetable pro ducts, manufactures, works of art, copies ot laws, statistics, rates ot taxation, maps, charts, descriptions of lands for sale, together with abstracts of titles, the resources ot the State or Territory, etc The object ot the exhibition is to foster immigration to States and Terri tories desiring it, and by a full showing and a thorough exhibition of the pro ducts of the soil, etc., emigrants could at once make np their minds fully where they could be best suited. Send articles to Lee Craudall, Philadelphia, Penn. The New York Times editorial says : Gov. Grover is in ft fair way to furnish some of the most striking illustrations of the manner in which the reform cam paign was conducted last fall. His fa mous "Gabblo" dispatch brought him prominently forward as an intriguer without any scruples of honor. The congressional investigation which he in vited has as yet not convicted him of bribery, though it shows corruption was rite in the legislature which elected him. Investigation has only just begun, and some of the witnesses are "putting out for the mountains." as the Oregonians would say, and a generally unwholesome aspect ot things opened up at the very threshold ot inquiry. Grover was lion ised by Democrats when he came on to take his seat, as if he had done some. thins especially worthy of honor, llis couduct in the Croniu business was pre. aumably the cause ot Democratic pride in Grover, aud it it should turn out that the man who lent himself to the conspiracy to hire, buy or steal an elec toral vote for Tilden, also bought his way into the Senate, nobody would be in the least surprised. The Washington monument assooia tion are indisposed to give up that pile of stone erected in honor of the "father of his centry." As tbe'eharacter of the ground, the foundation and the super structure have been reported upon un favorably for a oompletio.) of the monu ment, it ia now proposed to finish off the present structure with a metalic spire, or to put eighty-five feet of tho father of bis country, io some sort, ot metalic compound, on the top of the stone work. The Journal's Washington specials say the Democratic ring judges in Mary, land recently indicted for their crimes by the grand jury have retaliated by procuring the arrest on a charge of per. jury of Gen. John S. Berry, foreman of the grand jury. ' Gen. Berry is one ot the most eminent citizens ot Maryland, of high character and great wealth. This action of the judges will not help their causes . A London dispatch sayB: It is now knows that an understanding has been arrived at between Russia, Germany and England, and that eaeh nation is to have ita share in the spoils ot the sick man. France can -not object, as she fears Gennany, and Austria is now crip pled, aa she does not' fight without Great Britain at her back. Gen Grant and party left Brussels on the 9th, and was expected at Frank-( tort-OD-Main on j'esterday. Every where he has been received with the highest honors. The remnant of the Modoc tribe of Indians who were taken to Indian terri tory at the close ot the Modoc rear, now amounts to only fifty-four males aud Bixty-three females. We believe there were over one hundred and fifty of them when first transferred. An enormous lode of copper, lead, gold and silver, twenty feet in width and extending tor miles, has recently been discovered in Main, New Hamp shire. The lode crosses Grand Trunk railroaJ, 100 miles west ot Portland. Accounts from Russia acknowledge that the campaign in Asia is a complete failure and will haveto be renewed in I Europe. There is no doubt that the Tnrks have given up the defense at the line of the-Juntra. Gen. Toombs has raised another rum pus in Georgia by suggesting that the members of the constitutional conven tion serve for SI a day, the amount that a petit juryman receives. Other mem bers, who have not as much money as he, plead that they must have enough for expeufes. The Journal's Washington special says : The general opinion here is that tho testimony against Senator Grover is already sufficiently damaging to im peril his seat. At the time when ob jections were made to swear in Grover, several Democratic senators said they would vote to unseat him if the charges against him should be sustained. They may have an opportunity to fulfill their promises.- THE SOUTH CAROLINA PLAN. Columbia correspondence of the N. V. Times relates how they now manngc elections in South Carolina : '!. A. Straker, Republican Representative i irom urangeourg county, was excluded from the House of Representatives be cause he would not apologise fr his "contempt"' in adhering to the Cham berlain House last fall. A special elec tion was held to fill the "vacancy." The Democrats had all the commission ers ot election and every precinct mana ger. Last tall Gov. Chamberlain ap pointed a Democrat on each board, but Hampton did not follow his example. During tho disorganization of the party and tho defection of many timid leaders, 3Ir. Stratcr made a vigorous canvass, and the piecinct returns show him to have been elected over Dibble, the De mocratic candidate by over 130 majority. But when the Democratic commission ers met to canvass the vote of the pre cinct, the board threw out three boxes on account of al'eged irregularities. At one box the managers refused to swear the' voters, alleging that it was only nec essary in cases of chalenges ; at another the po!esclosoJ before the proper time; at another place the ballot box was not sealed before taken to the commission ers. These were all precincts having Republican majorities. All the mana gers were Democrats and no "ii regular ity'' occurred at any Democratic pre cinct. The "irregularities" were a 1 ar. ranged beforehand, and were committed in two instances, despite Repunlicau protests. The Democrat was returned as elected by 231 majority, and the Do mocratio organs announced "another county redeemed " Orangeburg gave Ha-es 1.800 majority. An election will be held in Charleston county to fill 17 vacancies in the House, occasioned by the exclusion ot the Re publicans who were elected by 6,500 in November last. Similar "ir'etnilari- ties" will be discovered iu Republican precincts after the election, committed by Demi-cralio managers, and enough precincts wi 1 be thrown out to give that county to the JJennnjrats. tor Kepub lioans to canvas and vote in South Carolina hereafter will consist simply of eoine through the motions, with no hope of obtaining any practical result, The Philadelphia Bulletin says .the dust which has been allowed toaccumu late upon the roof of the Philadelphia mint during the past 25 years was col lected recently by order of Governor Pollock for the purpose of ascertaining what propoition of the metal is contain. ed. The roof is of asphalt, and aa it softens, the dust sticks to it tenaciously Some amount of difficulty was conse quently experienced in removing it. Fi nally a quantity amounting to 1,732 pounds in weight was removed. This has been submitted to the usual assay ing process. The result shows that 42 ounces of standard gold, and 76 ounces of standard silver, with a total valua tion of about $850, has been conveyed by the upward flight of the smoked chimney to a place where it became lo cated for a season. Tho Tribune? London special says : With the capture of Tiemova the "Rus sians gained an important position, be ing thus pnt in possession of the ap proach to the Schipka pass. Military authorities here think the Grand Doko's force will advance through the pass to Adrianople, thus threatening Constanti nople in front, aud Sbumla in the rear.
