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.

monwealth a bit ot information. Hear
him : "Now what we would like to

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.

not a doubt.

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.

In commenting upon MacVeagh's letter
