r r ALBANY, OREGON, JULY 20, 1877. The GroTer investigation is about ever. A larste number of witnesses Save been examined, and while the 'evi dence elieited does not positively prove that Grover bought bis scat in the Sen. ate, it shows a state ot corruption in the leaders of the Grover wing ot the De mocracy equaling that of the Tammany ring in its palmiest days. The evidence elicited may not be sufficient to unseat Grover and we doubt if any evidence would have done that as the Senate is at prceeut constituted still a great ma- hv Democrats in Oregon will always belteve that the bottom facts in regard to the matter were not obtained, and Grover will Test under a cloud of suspi cion that will cfibcutaliy kill any in fluence for good to the State he might have possessed under more favorable circumstances. Grover will probably occupy his stfat in tlve State, and with owlish solemuity draw his pay. 'JOAKlNG." If there is Vnjthiiig. in which Demo crats (Grover Democrats, wo mean, and there are 'tint lew ot thetn in, Linn county) excel in a marked degree, it is in "joking, especially about --election times. "We find leading Democrats as serting that money was used in electing Grover, somo of tbcm members of the State Legislature, at that, going 60 far as to declare they knew where they could get money tor voting a certain way, and they were pronounced fools by their friends for hot taking it, now come up before the investigating committee and uublushicgly pwear they were only joking, when they made these assertions, although they continued to make them week in and week out, never con trad ict iog them until they were found, after long 'search,, and brought before the committee ! . Since the Russians crossed the Dan. nbe they have made it exceedingly trop ical for the Turk. They have stopped at no obstacles, turned not aside to es. cape fighting, but have ' pushed right ahead and crushed,' with superior num bers, everything in their path. The Russia nsj it is true, havo been mowed down by thousands in their attacks on well fortified and well defended places ; but there was no faltering ; the torn and staggering ranks were filled at once, and the columns moved on to victory. The Turks have disputed every foot of ground stubbornly, but they have been borne back step by step, position after position has been taken, and the bayo nets cf. the Xorth now flash in the sun light pointing toward Constantinople. Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson, of New York.offers three premiums, one ot $100 gold, one of $75, and one of $50, for the best newspaper articles of about 2,000 words, upon some feature of the "labor question." -Tliese articles are to be sign ed by some nom de plume, and sent to the ofSce of the Library Table, New York, before the 1st of next October. She also reserve the right to accept, at $20, any of the essays which may not receive the premium. This is a good scheme let our writists go for the prizes. - It is said that Wilson, of Tillamook, got money out of the Fchcol fund in ad Vance of the mortgage to secure it. This littlo transaction, in violation of law, together with various and sundry other schemes that have been unearth ed, show to what extreme lengths little Chad wick was willing to go to make SimseU Governot by the election of Gro ver t the U. S. Senate. The beauties of the caucus 'systenTis sbown-tti'tbe election of Grover to the Senate.!' n hero a minority compel the election of a candidate who is positively repognprnt to two-thirds of his party in the State. Sixteen and a quarter cents per bush el covers .the 'whole cost of carrying grain from Chicago to Liverpool, while the lowest charters f rom Saa Francisco to Liverpool are about 2 7s, or double the Chicago rates. " Lute, of the Washington Indapend ent trie?, fays the Yamhill Reporter, to sponge off from this impecunious com monwealth a bit ot information. Hear him : "Now what we would like to Know is how it comes that the State pays Washington county f 1,000 less i Bchool money iu 1876 than it did in 1875? Can snebody inform us on this point, for we are interested to the number of about 2,500 eohool children and 6,000 tax payers." We give it up, Bro, Lcee ; we don't know ; hire a law yer litre GiEry. Be will tell you all about it for ten per cent, ot the money involved.. -. , ... . A "talk"' was had' at Canyon City scsjc days with a band of Columbia :. jiver- Indians, tfee same party that j Coniovei advised to go to the -WUon. C. W. Parrish, Lsq.,gave t ,s f ;C'J sdvico and cautioned tbcm m CI at-r-t their conduct. uIDAH0 INDIAN WAR. The latest from the Indian difficulty is to the effect that on the 15th Joseph sent , a scout named Kukulsuitlim. a half-breed, to Gen. Howard, offering to surrender himself and a portion of the hostile band over which he has control. Gen. Howard granted a cessation ot hos tilities. While Joseph's messenger and General Howard's were talking, Joseph and his entire force moved away, and is thought to be attempting to escape over the Lolo trail. Joseph says he was drawn into the fight by White Bird; that be wanted always to remain friend ly, and that be was forced to move away but would come back and surren der! Little confidence is placed in his word. Had the parley not been grant ed it is thought the troops would have- soon been iu a position to have captured or destroyed the entire Indian force, as they would have had them pretty well surrounded. The Indians in Southern Idaho are reported quiet, and averse to ging in to the war. Capt. 1 Bancroft, wlo was wounded on the 11th inst., is reported to have since died from his wounds. The people ot Bitter Root valley are well armed ai;d have taken every pre caution against Indian surprise. Two companies ot soldiers have been placed in central localities and pickets station ed in the moui.tain passes. With all the avenues leading into Montana guard ed the papers of that Territory say there's little to be feared. Martinsbnre. Virginia, was in the hands of a mob of "striking" miners. numbering 10.000 or more, on the 17th, who bid defiance to the military, and would allow no freight trains to pass over the roads. The strikers threw freight train from the Baltimore & Ohio track on the morning of the 17th, injur ing the engineer, fireman and cars. The Matthew Guards of Wheeling had been ordered to the scene of troub!e. The Russians captured Nikopolis on the 17th. after a desperate fight in which the carnago was dreadful on both sides. The Turks defended their position stub bornly until the last moment, and only fell back when overpowered by superior numbers. Talton 13. Scott, the Idaho stage rob ber, who recently escaped from the pen itentiary at Boise City, was killed a few days ago near Kelton by a ranchman, whose calf Scott had killed, and was caught in the act ot laying in a supply of beef . Pacific S topers Farmers are beginning to harvest early rops. Robert Robertson is wanted by his friends at Astoria. Gradine on tho Yanuina railroad pro- gaesses favorably. The fruit crop of Clark county is turn ing out better than was expected. 'There will bo no loss from lodged grain in Yamhill. J. M. McCall and M. Baura have sold out the Ashland Tidings. David Nesvpome and wife, of Marion county, celebrated their go!dcn wedding one day last week. At Salem, wool has advanced to 29 j cents and quite a lively business was done last week. The Hasslerhas left A store to com mence the wotk of sounding assigned to her. Lawrence Ne sol, of Port Townsend, has commenced the busi-ess of Fmoking hallibut on Puget Sound. Lane county owes $3,042 ; but delin quent taxes for the last three years, which will be mostly collected, amount to $7,319 54. Umatilla paper : From 3,514 ot Frazer & Ilsckett's 6heep there was clipped 37,450 pounds of wool, averag ing 10 pounds and a fraction each. The old Tumor on tho Calapooia near Corvallis, broke down under a wag on containing John Sylvester and wife, severely injuring the latter. ;.. An editor in Yamhill, jnst married, writes: An East Portland man lias got a patei t on a "spark arrester." We don't care a snap if he has, at the present writing. The house ot Mr. G. Charlesworth, on the Madison street road to Lake Wash ington, was burned last week with all its contents, including their eighteen month old child. - Negotiations are now pending by a firm in Ikwton to furnish ail the neces sary machinery and fixtures to parties on the lower Sound for an extensive manufactory ot herring oil and fish guano. . , -. A man named Tom Brown was arrest ed in Ashland last Friday by Sheriff, Manning and Deputy Sheriff Hendricks, of Yreka. He is supposed to be one otthe men who robbed the stage near Redding last Stay. The warm weather of the past few days been of great benefit to the farm ers who had fall wheat knocked down by the recent rains. Ib has lifted up most of the wheat so that, that which a week ago looked as it there would be no crop bow bids fair for a heavy yield. Hon. O.N. Denny and wife are pas. scngers on the outgoing steamer for San Francisco, from whence they sail for their new home at Tientsin, China. Tbey have a host of friends iu this city who wi&h them bou voyage. Al. Sutton has Bold his ranch on I Bridge creek, Wasco county, to a Sir. ) Frazier, lately from New Zealand, for which he received. $12,00 gold coin. About a dozen applications have been made and ever 1,000 acres of land have been takeu up withiu the last three or four months on the table land lying be tween La Centre and the Cedar Creek mills. On the morning of the 5th, the jewel- ery store ot U. S. Miller, at Port T ow ri se ud, was robbed of about $800 worth of gold pens, pencils and silverware. The offender is still at large; officers are after him. There was ar Indian in Steilacoom last week with a quart of gold dust, which he wished to exchange for pow der, guns and one hunderd and fifty pounds ot lead. The dust amounted to over six hundred dollars. ' C. F. Becker, of Marsh Geld, while going up Isthmus Slough in a sail boat last Friday, was capsized and drowned. The body was recovered on Saturday last, about 100 feet from, the place where he was drowned. At Granite creek, Grant county, five men, after two and a half months' run in a placer gulch, took out four huddred and thirty-seven and a half ounces ot gold dust. Capt. Oliver C. Applegate, of Lake county, has purchased the Ashland lid- injs aud will hereafter conduct that sheet. There is a rumor that it will be taken to Lake county. The annual meeting of the stockhold ers of the People's Protective Transpor tation Company, for the purpose cf elect ing a uoard of directors and transacting such other business as may be deemed necessary, was held at AIcMinnville last Thursday, the 19th inst. Dfalles Jonntauiecr: A report conies from Mr. K. Schntz, who lives near old Camp Watson, on the Dalles and Canyon City road, that there are alxjut one hundred strange Indians camped in that, vicinity. It is Waltzec's band from Priest's rapids and they claim to be friendly. Yamhill Reporter: That Gov. Gro ver counted out any coin to anybody, as a means of securing his election we do not maintain ; but that money was paid to secure his election and that the paves got as good as so much money, we have not a doubt. Kngene City has seven lawyers and seventeen widows, says the Journal. But that doesn't explain why it connects the number of lawyers with the number of widows, unless, indeed, it meant that the widows somo of them, are the "grass" variety, whom the lawyers helped to bring in that condition. Dalles Tfemizer: Capt. Lafollett was in town Saturday, and says a couple o men from Canada were in his section (the Grand Ronde) looking for a place to locate a colony. I hey were well rdcased with the situation of things, and expect to be back again next spring. 1 he colony will represent $30,000 in money, 'SORTS.

Work on the White Bull of Santiamcon tinues. In that locality several pers-onsare at work on placer mines. Ditches are he- ing dug and thorough preparations made to rest the banks and oars. The Journal's Washington special says it is authoritatively announced that Gener als Ord and Tnirno had a friendly confer ence and reached amicable arrangement for the suppression ot Mexican raids. Pres ident Dioz manifests anxietv to maintain friendship with the United States. The republicans ot Trumbull county Ohio, roost dangerously high. At a con vention the other day they emphatically and evidently without fear declared that it is Inexpedient at this tune to adopt a plat form. This party is so intellectually heavy that it will probably break uie fence down Dispatches Siy that Howard's men found many caches of goods at Canoe encamp ment, about eight miles below Pit-burg landing, on Snake rU'er. In them was much ot the plunder taken from the stores on Salmon river; also, 10,000 pounds of flour. This does not look towards Joseph's abandoning the country. . A scientific writer says that death by lightning-stroke is ti e most painless death in the world. We don't know about that. We never talk with a man who was struck by lightning; but a man whose wile once caught him kissing the hired girl told ns in confidence that he would never have believ ed that a man could have sufterixl as much iu a thousand years as he did in twenty seconds. San Francisco Chronicle: Solar as the fastening of any crime ou Grover by spe cific facts is concerned, it is already pretty clear that the investigation will be a fail ure. Such things are most difficult to prove. The confederate and go-between can always manage to clear the principal from guilt and throw the odium of the crime by whicli the senator profits on some insignificant or charneterless person. About a week ago a man known as Tom Brown, snpposcd to be one of the gang that robbed the stage near Redding last May, was arrested at Ashland. lie accidentally dropped a gold watcli and chain in a water trough. The act was detected, and the watcli found to be that taken from one of the English tourists who was a passenger on the stage robbed. This circumstance will "fix" Mr. Brown. The election In Ohio this year will be for governor, lieutenant governor, judge of the supreme court, clerk of the supreme court, attorney general, treasurer, school commissioner, member of the board pf public works. The democratic convention will be held on the 25th of July and the republican convention one week latter. In addition to State officers, members of the legislature are to be chosen. In commenting upon MacVeagh's letter to Buutler the Baltimore News seems to think there ought to be a fight. Surely, it says, "blood should flow if there is anv on Butler's side if the arduous labors of mo grimy and gory conflicts of twelve years ago have not wearied th sword arm and bleared . the pistol eye of the shame less braggart." Don't get agitated. Butler has burned a good deal of oowder in his time, but he hat never hurt anybody. When a father discovers that his boy lias been using his razor to sharpen a slate pen- cil with, his faith that he is to be the father of a n resident is temnorarilv ecliDSed by ins anxiety to nna uie uoy uuu a yicixs m latn.
