nod more recently, we are it
the net earning (including the
jnt) for the first six months of
egnte a total ot $1,625,000. But
nly to do at present with the cir
v,. January last. The President says
. thes earnings we slialt be enabled to
the interest on the proposed issue of
.000,000 . mortgaged bonds, and a
tvtdend of 10 per cent, on tlie $3,000,000
f stock. As the President says, the: e is
not probably another .transportation com
panv in the United States that can show
so favorable a statement. . And the Prcat
t'ent assures the stockholders that the pros
pects of the company, tor 1880 are even
more promising tlian the results tor the
last six months of 1S79. The statement is
made that the products of the country
tributary to the Columbia river were so
great that the boats were unable to tran
port all of it, and freights left over at the
ttime ol sending put the circular, estimated
at from 30,000 to 33,000 tons, would yield
to the company at least f25O,O00 to be
earned during the early months ot the year
when down freights are nsually scarce.
This is a princely showing for tlie O. It. &
X. Co., and incfieates that the producers of
Eastern Oregon, are only charged the
moderate stun of between $7 and $8 per
ton to get their wheat down to Portland !
The next feature ot the circular, is the
statement that the' Northern Pacific, that

a northeasterly direction to the foot of Bit
ter Root mountains, " will be a direct
feeder to onr river line," and " will have to
depend altogether nnon ns for transporta
tion facilities np and down the Columbia
river. That is to say. the O. It. & N.
Company, owning tlie portages on the
Columbia river, the gate-way of Eastern
Oregon, and having nearly completed at
this time a line ot railway from Celilo to
Wallula (the roost difficult navigation on
the - Columbia being between these two
points), -commands tb transportation of
Eastern Oregon, arid can charge whatever
price it may please the company to de
mand, in freights and fares, from the peo
ple, or from any company that may have
the audacity to attempt to build lines of
road to compete with it in the carrying
trade of that vast and productive country
IV tlie point plain enongh to tlie reader ?
But we have not the space in this issue
to notice all tlie brilliant points of this cir-
cnlar, and therefore hasten to give the
era ml culminating point at its close. And
bore it is, in the exact langnage of the cir
cular, only italicized by ns
" Moreover. a the growing importance
of Oregon and Washington render rertatn
the construction of new through lines from
tlie Kast within trie next tew years, it will
be onr policy to meet any and nil of thenc at
much point as void PREVENT the extnh
lishiny of opposing interests in our territory."
la effect, this powerful monoply declares
its complete ownership of the whole grand
country east ot the Cascades, and that Its
policy will be, as heretofore pursued bv
the Oregon Steam Navigation Company,
which proved so disastrous to the settle
ment and opening op ot the vast and rich
agricultural .districts tributary to the
Colombia and Snake rivers,, to keep out all
competition m the carrying trade, thus
enabling it to chars such exorbitant rates
Jor fares and freights as to practically kill
off ail prodnetive industry. -
We call tlie attention of onr people to
tlie statements in tula circular, because we
conceive tbem to be direct threats against
the. greatest interest of the State and ad-
joiolng Territories the agricultural in
terest. It Is threat against cheap fares
and freights, which are only to be secured
by the construction of opposing lines of
transportation. And we hold it to be the
duty ef onr Legislature, now in session at
Salem, to enact such laws as shall effect
ually prevent the greed of monopolies from
so taxing the agricultural Interests of the
Stats as to impoverish and parclyze the
band ot fodoetry.
Among the numerous bills offered in
the Legislature, U one or more to reduce
the fees ot the County Clerks and Sheriffs.
As both parties promised to effect such
reduction in these offices. we suppose a
law properly regulating tlie fees of each
will pass the Legislatnre now ia session

peared in tlie Portland papers, regarding a
new railroad enterprise, said to have been
engineered to a successful issue by Col.

good to be true, but all doubts were set
aside on Wednesday br hort interview
wllh Col. Hogg and Mr. Nash, who ar
rive.! In oiir city on that day. on their way
to Salem We are authorised to state posi
tively the following fiujts : .
A corporation, styled tlie Oregon l'nclfle
Railway Company, has been duly organ
teed in conformity with the laws of Oregon.
for tlie purpose, among other things, of
buildinsr and nmoerlv enninpinz a line of
railroad trom Yxqutna Bay ou the Pacific,
to Boise city in Idaho Territory, a distance
of six hundred miles. This railway on its
way east will pass throngh Albany. One
hundred and thirty miles of this road Is
now under contract, to be completed dur
ing the year 1881, ready for traffic, and tlie
hi uds for the construction of the balance of
the road 470 miles provided tor. The
general line of the road across the Cascade
mountains will be over the Albany, Leba
non and Cascade Mountain W agon Road.
Tlie building of this railway will not
only give the Willamette Valley early and
cheap transportation facilities to Yarmina
Ba3' (a shipping point which the recent
survev has proven beyond a doubt to be
equal to any on the Pacific coast, and when
properly improved will have no superior
perhaps in the United States), but in tlie
near future will afford us a direct line to
the great markets of the Atlantic. This is
the grandest scheme ever effected in the
interest of onr State, and Col. Hogg is en
titled to all praise for his successful efforts
in our behalf.

lion. John H. Mitcliell addressed the
Garfield and Arthur Club of this city at
the Court House on Wednesday evening.
A heavy, cold rainstorm t in early in the
evening, yet the audience chamber and

whom were many ladies.
Mr. Mitchell was escorted from the Re

the young men of the city to tlie number
of near one hundred, carrying torches and

but dealt entirely in argument and tlie
statement of facts, offering undeniable and

we are not able to present this able and
candid speech in its entirety in this issue.
We are satisfied it did good work that will

ticket. The sneaker was frequently In
tern pted by hearty clieers, and the best at

For the first time almost In the history of
tlie Court House, there was a total absence
of any exhibition of hoodluiuism whatever.

This was the first public meeting of the

Queries.
Is Col. Larrabec the man who, as an
officer In the army duritig the reoeinon,
was sent down South, and while there was
caught in some disreputable cotton stealing
affair, and to keep from being dismissed
the service ' resigned," went back to Wis
consin and from there made his way to

a fierce and uncompromising secessionist t
Since Gen. Butler has joined the Democ
racy, will It oe in oroer lor nis ornriicr
Democrats to call him by th old and
affectionate title, by which they were
wont tn designate him, of " Spoon Thief
Butler?"
Would It be well for Democratic orators
to tell their audiences, when descanting
upon the virtues of the g-r-e-a-t and
h-en-e-s-t Democratic party, just to state
that the G rover-Chad wick administration
ot Oregon robbed the State treasury
as long as there was a dollar to steal.
besides incurring an enormous unconstitu
tional debt that will take long years : ot
heavy taxation to repay ?
Would it be well to explain to the Dein
ocracy that the long-time lukewarm Gen.
Nesmlth, now red-hot in tlie cause of
Hancock, 1s canvassing for the Democratic
nominee merely because he desires to con
trol the appointments in this State In tlie
interest ot himself and his wing or faction
of the Democratic party. Bush, Thayr
fc Co., if by any accident Hancock should
succeed to the Presidency ?
He's Um Had -Clone.
Col. Larrabee, the great Democratic ora
tor, visited this neck o' woods last Satur
day, and addressed a good crowd of Dem
ocrats and Republicans, at the Court House,
speaking all the afternoon. About the
only recommendation that the Col. or his
friends can lay any special c'aini to. Is that
lie has a vry fair sized bay window. As
an orator lie can not at all compare to
Judges Strahan. Weatherford, BUyeu, or
our young friend Skipworth. He offered
nnthirg new, and the old charges that he
rehashed against tlie Republican party
were poorly and rather ungrammatically
as well as disjointedly stated. At tlie even
ing condolence meeting, at tlie same place,
he got in some more chin music, which, it
such a thing could be possible, was weaker
and more feeble than his afternoon warble
He did say one thing, however, that pro
duced a smile here and tliere over the audi
ence, and that was when lie. In his thin
squeaky voice, declared, all the while look"
ng as solemn as a "setting hen." that
Republicans alone were responsible for the
war, and that Democrats were now, and
always had been, the only Union men !
The absolute idiocy ol such a statement
would condemn tlie party making it. be
fore any competent jury, as a firt c'ass
fool or an absolute lunatic.
The " exclusive" Democratic wing of
thiscity.which bad charge of the redoiitable
Col. Larrabee last Saturday, were sorry
enough of their prize after lie had mounted
the rostrum. It was extremely diverting
to hear the old bed rockers expressing their
opinions to brother Democrats regarding
the Col. Why don't he taik abont the
issues in the canvass ?" " Can't he tell ns
something new " ' What's the matter
with the roan, don't he know nothing ?'
When Mitcliell comes along next Wed
nesday he'll knock the wind out ot such
stuff as lie's getting off, and when old
Flaxhrake gets in his work we'll be flayed
alive." And scores of similar remarks in
termixed with more or less strong adjec
tives, showing that tho rank and file had
Col. Larrabev's calibre down to a dot.

In the National Democratic Convention
of 1868. Gen. Hancock obtained 146 votes.
If be had received the nomination then, he
would have been run on the platform ad
opted by the Convention which declared
that U. 8. bonds should be taxed and made
payable In greenbacks ; that tlie negro
should not vote ; that the reconstruction
acts were usurpations, unconstitutional.
revolutionary and void. . If he was ready
to stand upon such a platform then, has he
changed his views since f Or is be tbe
pliant tool Bob Toombs asserts he is
ready to do anything the Sooth demands
should be be elected President ? :
The Democrats of Arkansas built ten
schoolboitaec in twenty-flva years, Tlie
Republicans In the same State built 1,882
Echooitiou :c3 in five ycure.
Oen. Hancock has again, In a most un- !
mistakablc manner, shown his subserviency
to the will of the "solid South." A prom
inent Democrat Wrote to Gen. Hancock
recently, asking his views regarding the
payment of Southern claims. In his reply
he evades tlie question entirely, so that,
should he be elected President, he can
carry out the behests of the '-solid South"
In tills matter without let or hindrance.
So important a matter was this considered
In 1876 by Mr. Tilden, that he wrote a let
ter, in which he positively declared against
making any such payments. It has been
asserted by Southern men that If Hancock
declares against the payment ot Southern
claims, he can not receive the vote of the
solid South ; and it he declares In favor of
such payment there is no hope for him in
the North. The syndicate of Southern
claim agents that secured the defeat, ot
rildeu at Cincinnati and the nomination
of Hancock, would never have labored tor
his nomination had they not known their
man. Tilden's published declaration of
hostility to the payment of Southern war
claims of every description, wa the chief
argument used in bringing about his defeat
at Cincinnati. There are now pending in
Congress, not covered by the fourteenth
amendment, which only await the election
ot Hancock to be j pressed for payment,
claims aggregating a sum total vastly
exceeding the present sum of the national
debt. And time and again have Southern
men declared that these vast claims shall be
paid that the North shall pay in coin for
the loss of negroes and all the calamities
of the South caused by the war of the rebel
lion. And Hancock is in the bauds of
these men. and he will, if.' unfortunately
tor this country, he should be elected Presi
dent, place no obstacle in the way ot the
collection of these claims from the Nation
al Treasury. Six months would not roll
round after the inauguration of Hancock
before tlie treasury would be depleted, the
credit ot the country destroyed and utter
bankruptcy reign. Is it any wonder that
honest, loyal men, are fleeing from the
Democratic party all over the country, and
coming to the support ot Garfield, r lteu
such a state of tacts exist t
So many statements have been made
regarding the route to be taken by Presi
dent Hayes and party, that we are left in
doubt as to which is the correct statement.
It Is altogether probable that he will
come overland or by ocean steamer
you pays your money and takes
your choice - but most probably the former,
as we see the Legislature has appointed a
joint committee to meet him at Roeburg.
Portland has also appointed a largp com
mittee of her leading citizens to receive
and entertain tlie distinguished party npon
their arrival in that city. The party will
doubtless take dinner at Albany, and the
city authorities and Republican Club will
doubtless do the honors. As soon as the
time set for the arrival ot the party Is
known, due notice will be given that all
may see a live President on Oregon soil.
The statement is made that the in-ane ot
the State can be kept by the State at a cost
not to exceed $200 per annum for each
patient. Tho State now pays The
patients in the asylum numbers SCO. II'
the State can save $00 on each patient, the
annual saving would be $18,000. In a tew
years the State, would have saved enough
to pay the cost of an asylum.

The Maine eleetinn, In spite of the early
adverse reports, shows that the republicans
have fully held theit own, and more. For
two years past they have' failed to carry
the state on the popular vote, in 1S78 fall
ing 12.000 short. In 1879 they fell nearly
l.OOo short. Now, if they have not an ab
solute majority over all. they are within
200 votes of such a m jority. They have
tbe legislature and they have saved all tlie
congressmen thej' elected two years ago.
And the- Democratic-greenback coalition is
already broken up, which leaves the
republicans an unchallenged ascendancy
in the i-tate.
I'olllifHl PclnM.
The Democratic party is tlie enemy of
the lalwrer. Its record shows it. The
Repnhlictn party is tbe friend of the woik
ingman. Its record shows it.
Tlie Democratic party goes back fifty
year to lite day of Jackson to find some
thing to bnat of. and goes baek eight
years to find mud to fling at the Repub
lican party ; but when the Republicans
pantle the records of ihe Democratic party
during the past tmir years, it moans and
snivels, Oh, don't rake np the past."
" To begin with there's the South
solid," says the Democratic calculators.
Alter tV'eleclion it will be : "To end
with there's the Sou!h ;-lid."
The Republicans are sanguine over
the prospect in New Jersey. They will
certainly carry tin- Legislature, which will
elect a " siicci ssor to Senator Randolph.
The candidates for the Senaforshlp are ex
Secretarv Robeson. ex-Congressmen Hal-
sey and Gen. W. T. Sewell.
The Jacksonville Sun and Press says
that northern Republican papers do Flor
ida a great injustice in classing her with
the solid South. It claims that Florida has
the same right to be classed as a Republi
can State as New York. New Jersey. Con
necticut or Indiana, and that witn reason
able assistance from the North it may be
counted npon as for Garfield. There is
only one thing says tlie Snn otvI Press.
which the Republicans of Florida have
reasons to fear, and that is that "fraud
will prevail against an horest Republican
majority."
An interesting statement has been cotn-
iilled at Washington which exhibits in a
striking light the prominence of ex -rebels
in Congress. Tbe eleven States which
went into rebellion have ninety-five Sena
tors and Representatives, ami ot these no
less than seventy-two were prominent in
either the Confederate army or Congress.
t here are forty-two Democrats in the sen
ate, and nineteen ot them were, identified
with the Confederacy, a majority of them
as officer in the rehel army, mere are
110 Democrat in the House, and fifty-six
of them " point with pride" to similar
records.
