A UCRUItSLE TRAGEDY.
3Snrler ntl Stiioid nrnr Brown
, . villc iu this County.
Jnst rs we are preparing to go to press an item
of rno't shocking character reaches an. it U tho
murder of a wife and the suicide of the husband.
Tha facts, as ws learn them, are as follows 1 - Yos
tcrday morning Sidney Smith, whose form U sU
mile west of Brownsville, pbot his wife. She ran
into the orchard and he pursued, with his pistol.
His brother witnessed thiraeo for life, ran to t!te
tcscna of Mrs. Smith, and succeeded in getting her
back to the house and extracting a promiso Vrym
his ma ddened brother to do her n! farther injurv.
Soon art-r. under the belief that Sidney would n" t
violate his prouwe, the brother went to resumo his
labor about the farm. Tho dcvil-posscsscd hus
band, it seems, at once proceeded to his duuMe
crime of murder and suioide. H j cut his wife's
roat, and then shot , himself. The brother hur
ried to the house and fuuud the bodies weltering in
gore. Both wero dead.
Sidney Smith was about 42 years of a?e, and
has pasod most of his time iu Idaho for the last
yoarortwo. He was an active, shrewd business
man, but not faultlef in his habit in domestic re
lations. Mrs. Smith was a Miss Presley of Ma-.ion
county, and is represented to have bten a faithful
wife and dovpted, excellent mother. They have
left a family of four children, the eldest bein? a
young lady of about 14 year. The news of "the
horrible affair was brought to town this mornmat
by Mr. Cunningham, who lives near tho Smith
tartn. . . ...,
Tne Ente Tragedy In Umatilla.
Last week we copied a paragraph from the Ore
gon ian which reported the hanging of a man
named Slater in Umatilla county by a mob, on
pretence of his having administered poison to his
brother-in-law, George Fry. During the week no
further newspaper report of O10 horrid affair has
come to hand. But last evening we wero furnished
with a letter from a person whe. lives near the
scene of the tragedy, who first discovered the body
of the murdered man hanging where his murder
ers left it, and who knows of the facts of which he
writes. His statement is clear, concise, and ap
parently truthful. We regret that the late hour at
which we received this letter precludes as from
laying it in full before our readers. Only a brier
synopsis can be given. hens. The vietim of this
devilish mob-law was named Stoughton, a son-in
law of Olney Fry, Sr., of this precinct, and whose
agonised widow is a sister to George Fry, to whom
the murderer pretended Stonghton had adminis.
tered poison. Sheriff Maddock and the authorities
of Umatilla county were very active in having the
murderers of Stoughton ferreted out, and already
Sbout a dozen who were undoubtedly concerned in
the hacking were under arrest. . The chief mr
derer appears to- be one Dr. Alderman, and wo
preachers are implicated with him. Tha -parties
are all " Loyal Leaguers," and it is supposed that
political venom had much to do with the murder.
The party, with Dr. Aldermau and the preachers
as spokesmen, wero found by the Sheriff and his
assistant In a guarded house, but he obliged them
to surrender, and marched them to Jail. They
were armed to the teeth, and were the only persons
living in a circuit of eight m ilea about the scene
murder who declined to come to the inquest over
the body of Stoughton. This directed suspicion
against them, and their conduct subsequently in
creased and confirmed these suspicions. The
names of six . persons from Linn county figure in
the list of mob murderers. The letter was written
Feb. 27th, smd the excitement was still very great
in that section. We hope to leara more fu'ly of
the real facts in th case during the ensuing week
The Steamers. The rival steamer companies
continue, a vigorous opposition, carrying freight
and passengers fr next to nothing. ' The new
company seem to be stiff enough, while ths old
monopoly company, betray signs of approaching
exhaustion, and it is- rumored they are about to
sell out to the O. S. K. Co. Only a short time
ago one of the old line Directors boasted that " no
Copperhead owned a dollar of stock in the line."
We miabt now add : ma Copperhead Is so Verdant
as to pot money in the sinking concern. . .

Couvallis, March flth, LSOG. '
Editor Dkmocrat : Perhaps a few
jottiugs political from this quarter would
be of interest to your numerous readers.
It seems that the war is ahout to begin in
this county. The Abolition (styling
themselves the Union) party, " stealing,"
as is their wont, " the livery of heaven
to serve the devil in," have begun to
marahal their elan from out all the deep
and dark defiles of their fastnesses, and
ast night witnessed their incantations
over the seething caldron of Republican
polities, into which each officiating cast
his poisoucus ingredieuts. In oilier
words, this party held a meeting last
night at the Music Hall, presided over
by B. W. "Wilson, our Circuit Clerk
the object of which nieetiug was, in the
classic diction of the Chairman, to repre
sent the Constitution-loving and law-
abiding sentiment of this community.
Col. Kelsay was the first speaker intro
duced to the audience. He stated by way
of peroration and thereby unmasking
his inviucjble penchant for public uotice,
that he hoped he should have many op
portunities of advfressing the people iu
the coming contest. This gentleman
atoned for lack of argument by energy
of gesticulation; substituted assertion for
proof, and justified the course of his party
on the ground of necessity rather thau
of Constitutional precedent. Disclaiming
all connection with the Samner and Gar
rison school, he advocated the same doc
nne of necessity; professing to follow
"the books," he garbled passages from
Kent and Story, "tYhcaton and Vattel.
with all the ready facility of a life-long
pettifogger and the practiced dexterity of
the most consummate empiric. He sternly
advocated the theory of liberal construc
tion, and thought that Congress might
judge what was necessary to be done, and
then do it. Well, I believe this is really
the faith of his party, and the Colonel is
doubtless an apt disciple of its teachings.
He coolly aspersed the memories of Jef
ferson, Madison and Monroe, by declaring
that they taught the doctrines now pro
mulgated by his party. No doubt that
if this conclave of political necromancers
could have called up those great men, the
sight of them would have seared the gen
tleman's eyeballs, for they would have
nrononnced asrainst him and his brethren
s 0
a political doom more fearful than that of
the degenerate Saul.
The next speaker was Dr. Bayley, fresh Iti
froid Washington Cityt the Abolition PJ'
Cromwell of Benton county. The Doc-j
tor is certainly entitled to credit for his to
discretion In this rift of hi3 partv he is rne
remarkably reticent as to his endorse
ment of Con":res3 or the President, and
plays the "good liord, good devil pro -
gramme to perfection, not knowing just

whipli ia iA frt hn Knmtnsnitjiil ' VitJ the
candor or his philanthropic progressive
ness ; which more to be despised, the
natural" result of such teaching,1 or the
man himself.
Judge Chenoweth was next up. Did
not pretend to enter into the discussion of
tjie issues of the day but, as is somewhat
his custom, dpalt in generalities. The
J udge seemed inclined to disown the negro-loving
part of his brethren, but did
not entirely convince Deuioerata of his
sincerity, as his. associations heretofore
have been of each a character as although
Tray may not have been cruelly treated,
nevertlieless'he retains a very bad odor.
He very emphatically stated tat; tb.ere
wasTio rupture ia his party, although his
entire speech was nothing more than a
political trass to" keep its bowels from
gushing out In Oregon at least.
Jn conclusion, Democracy is wide awake
in Benton. We have determined to put
down the " : blood - letting Jacobins next
June. Let its leaders be-np aqd doing.
The eld ship of .Democracy still rides the
storm-waves, and its guide, the Constitu
tion of our forefathers, is still heard by
them mid 'the roar, as was the voice of
that pilot of old, calling to hold her level
point ,her, straight, and let her go slow'
More anon. r Benton.

Prettt Rough. The Abolition Sen

McCarthy, editor of the San Francisco
Flag (Radical Abolition),, for having de
clared that seven Senators had received a
bribe of $12,000 each to vote against the

McCarthy as the men who rornishqd the

The steamer being built at th mouth of

A Hint. Late " dispatches indicate
that President Johnson aud the Radicals
will compromise their late differences of
opiuion. Congress will admit the Ten
nessee Senators and Representatives,
agree not to impeach Johnson, and mod
ify the Freedmen's bill. In return for
this, the President will stand hy the
agreed Radical policy. It will never do
for Democrats to trust Johnson, lie is
neither honest nor firat.
