S AT IT U DA Y. .7.7 ToCTOIIKll 27. 1800; THE CIEUWIT C'OVIST For Linn county lias been in session during the week; and several cases of considerable interest have come up for adjudication. We have dropped in occa sionally to witness the proceedings ; and we proceed to give our impressions nud conclusions. "With Judge TJoisc we have no personal acquaintance as yet wo tru.st we will have some day but wc have fonued an opinion of him, nevertheless. Wc sup pose hitu to be 40 or 45 years old. His manners and general appearance are not very prepossessing, lie seems iucliued to be indolent j and he is wanting in judi cial dignity. lie has a fashion of gapiug occasionally really hearty gapes and making the beholder feel sleepy nud like going to bed. Another habit he has is that of thrusting the end of the handle of his gavel iuto his mouth also the gavel proper between his frout molars seemingly for the purpose ot ascertaining how large his mouth is, nud how great an object it is capable of encompassing. Vet, notwithstanding these uncouth habits, and his somewhat outre and slouchy ap pearance, there is behind all a good deal of latent energy and decision of charac ter easily discernible by a close observer ; and when he gives r. decisiou it is gener ally right, and couched in clear aud terse language. In politics he is a Radical ; but the Democratic doctrines he held and taught a few years ago will crop out occa sionally in spite cf his radicalisms per meating them as a subtle essence every thing with which it comes in contact. If the fates have decreed that wc must have a Radical Judge, we had as soon in fact we had rather have him than any other the Radical ranks can produce. So much for Judge Boise. Our opinion of him mav change on further acquaintance. It seems, from the practice in this court, that parties to civil suits the plaintiff and defendant can. if they wish, become witnesses themselves pend ing the trial of their own cases. This is something to which we are unused. Of course it seems odd to us, but wc are not prepared to condemn it. It undoubtedly has some advantages over the old way such as placing all the facts, relevant and otherwise, before the court and jury. Another thing which wc noticed is the wide range witnesses arc permitted to take in giving their testimony. Many of the ordinary Rules of Evidence, as laid down in the books, are totally ignored. We heard one witness testify in his own casei and he gave full history of his doings, and that of some others, for seme years past; he gave evidence that wa3 relevant and irrelevant, and much that was merely cumulative; he detailed hearsay evidence, telling what Tom, Dick and Ilarry said and what they did, and sometimes what he supposed some of them thought; and sometimes arguing his own case paren thetically. Wc don't blame him at all; indeed wo are not prepared to blame any body. "We only say it seemed odd to us ! that no objection was made bv iud"e. or! rv r.r .ttnrnnv .,n:l ihnt ho Tr-i J J i " j ? i mitted to say his say entirely unmolested Oreson 3Ianufactnres. "We have received the address delivered ly James II. Douthit, before the Ore gon State Agricultural Society, Oct. 17, 18GG It is quite able and interesting. From it we glean the following statistics relative to Oregon manufactures : The Willamette Woolen Mills, located in Salem, is capable of consuming 400, 000 pounds of wool annually, and make 1,000 yard.3 of cloth daily, employing ninety hands and paying operatives over 800,000 annually. The Oregon City Mills is capacitated to work 300,000 pounds of wool yearly. making about 6,000 yards of cloth week ly, and employs 80 operatives. The Eagle Mills, located at ISrowns rille, Linn county, works 50 operatives, making 3.G00 yards of cloth weekly, and consurae.3 1,500 pounds of wool annually. The Ellendale Mill, in Polk county, near Dallas, has a capacity to work twen ty hands, using 75,000 pounds of wool yearly, and can turn out 300 yards of cloth daily, and make 100 pounds of yarn. The Oregon Iron Works, at Portland, works about fffty men, consuming daily about six ton3 of raw material, and turn ing out work to the value of 1,000 pes day. There are other Foundries in Portland which do a business very nearly as large and why the orator did not notice them we are at a loss to conjecture. The First Telegram Message. The first public message ever sent by e leetric telegraph, says an exchange, went from Baltimore to Washington, dated June 14,1804, addressed to Silas Wright, of New York, announcing the nomina tion by the Democratic Convention then in session in the former city, of Mr. Polk for President. A member of Congress was defeated in Indiana for re-election in consequence of his vote gusstaining an appropriation of 825,000 to aid them in the enterprise, on the ground that "a man who could be made to believe in such a huinbu I y WfiS frt irr o -T.ir.1 1 r i n. gress." OIii:t!OX (EXTIML HAILKOAD. Wc have before- us tho Report of the Special Coiuuitteco to tho Legislative Assembly, on the Oregon Central Rail road. We learn from this Report that n grant of twenty sections of public land per mile has been secured, from Congress, to aid in constructing a lino of railroad from Portland, Oregon, to tho Central Pacific Railroad, in California. But, un der present circumstances, say!? the Re port, the laud is not available for the pur pose of raising money; ono of the grant conditions being that twenty miles of railroad must be finished and put in op eration before the Government patent will issue for the land. It is assumed that it would be unreasonable to expect the Fed eral Government to construct our works of internal improvement, without the least effort on our part. Aud tho Com mittee give it as their opinion that it is better for tho State to letxl her aid to the enterprise than to rely on the uncertain aid of private individuals. The Commit tee advise that the Legislature levy and appropriate, whenever a section of twen ty miles of railroad is finished and put in operation, a sum of money sufficient to pay the interest on another 500,000 of the company's bonds, and so pay this in terest for twenty years; and also loan tho company the sum of ten thousand dollars for preliminary contingent expenses; the whole amount to be secured by a mort gage of all the company's property to the State, and to be returned at the expira tion of the twenty years, then this com pany airrecs to proceed' at once to the work of constructing tho road. We shall not, at this time, say whether wc endorse or reject this proposition. It may be a good aud wise one, or it may not; we have not reflected upon it sufii cieutly to enable us to give a decided opinion. But some of the statements by which the proposition is attempted to be sustained, are incorrect; consequently the reasoning based upon them is un sound. For example, the report asserts that ;iu the State of Illinois issued its bonds to the amount of $1 2.000,000, taking therefor stock iu the railways pro jected in that State; and although the annual interest en this vast amount of in debtedness amounted to 8810,000 auuual- ly, yet such was the rapid increase of property on the tax roil, that it was not necessary to increase the rate of taxation to pay it. The revenue from taxes on the increased value of property occasioned by these railroads, Ins already enabled the State to pay off more than 1,000,000 of the principal debt." The eiM.JOOOO bjnds above referred to, were is-ued by the State of Illinois Inot to aid in builiiug the railroads that now exist in that State, but to build system of railroads projected in 1U0. It 'is untrue that Illinois owns stock in her railroads. They were built with the pro ceeds arising from a magnificent grant of land by Congress. These lands were ceded to a company of capitalists on cer tain conditions, one of which is that seven per cent, of the gross proceeds of the roads shall be paid into the State treasury ; and it is this money, instead of that arising from taxation, which is can- Ct!HnS t,l IJ labile debt of Illinois; and which may pay the debt she has in curred by the Civil War. On the Wai: Path. Wendell Phil lips is on the war path again, says the Mountain Democrat. In a letter written a short time ago, he says : 'Unless the people are warned iuto vigilance, 1SC8 will repeat 1801, under the lead of a more dangerous traitor than Buchanan, since, enlightened dawdler's experience, John son knows how to strike a more decesive blow." Only think of it! such a foul mouthed reprobate as Wendell Phillips whose whole life has been continuous and flagrant treason, calling any other living man a traitor! lie approved John Brown's treason and gave him "aid and comfort. He and Garrison have boasted over and and over again of their detestation of the Federal constitution, and their hatred of the good old Union of our fathers, and cxultingly declared that for thirty years they had labored to destroy it ! And in the face of his black and blood staiued record this arch-traitor has the.iron-clad insolence to call the President a traitor ! Size of the West. Illinois would make forty such States as Ilhode Island, and Minnesota sixty. Missouri is larger than all New England. Ohio exceeds either Ireland or Scotland, or Portugal, and equals Belgium and Switzerland to gether. MissourHs more than half as large as Italy, and larger than Denmark, Holland,. Belgium and Switzerland. Mis souri and Illinois are larger than Eng land, Scotland, Ireland and Wales to jrether. Thanksgiving Proclamation.- The President has issued a proclamation recommending that Thursday, the 29th of November, be observed as a day of thanksgiving and praise to God for all his mercies and benefits ; and also recom mending that the people humbly and de voutly implore IJim to grant to our na tional councils and the whole population that divine wisdom which alone can lead the nation into tu ... ,iys of all good.

One day last week, llumason, a member of tho lower IIouso from Wnsco county, pro tended to find fault with tho manner in which tho State Printer executed tho bill printing lor tho House, lhunnsou is a printer, and his remarks were mado for political buncombe, llo was and is well awnro that the printing was executed in tho best stylo. That promiuunt young member of tho "Jones Family" from Liun, G. It. Helm, arose in his usual trngico comico maimer, when IluinaHou hud con cluded his remarks, and exploded ono ol his '-speeches." He frothed aud tore up the ground hko a young bovine, and closed by offering a resolution directing tho com mittee on printing to examine into tho matter and report to tho House. Tho House adopted tho resolution lor tho pur pose of shutting off tho wind of the swell who ofiercd it, ami the committee manifested their good seuwo, nnd their contempt for its author, by paying no at tention to the matter at forwards. Mr. Helm had better confine himself to his legitimate employment of teaching mem bers of tho Jones organisation to go through tho manipulation of tho Order, bitinr off cartridges, dropping bullets, flourishing ramrods, tVc. He is better versed iu that business than he is in ''typo sticking." American Unionist. We arc a practical printer, also ; and we ngrco with Mr. llumason that the printing to which he referred on the occa sion above alluded to was a swindle. When we were iu Salem we called the attention of several members to this very swindle that was being perpetrated in the public printing of the public printer. It W ft ft is as plain to a priutcr that it is a swindle as the proboscis on the public printer's face; yet he virtually asserts that Huma son's charges aro false ; and he gloats over tho fact that the committee to whom the matter was referred, paid no attention to the matter afterwards thus really cu dorsiug the swindle. This, however, is nothing to excito astonishment. The leaders of the Radical party, all over the Union, have been swindling the public ever since they came iuto power. They have absolutely fatteued by plundering aud swindliug. With them swiudlin:: is the rule a straight-forward, honest course the exception. The fliugs of the Uuionist at Hon. G. R. Helm, of this county, fall harmless at his feet. His constituents endorse his bold aud inauly conduct while iu the Leg islature, aud they regard him as an able defender and champion of their princi ples. With them we aro content to leave him. The insinuation that he is a mem ber of the "Joues organization" comes with an ill grace from one who is a lineal descendant of the Know-Nothing and Loyal League Organizations. The .State Fa nr. Circumstances which we could not control prevented us from attendiug the .tate Pair, this year a thing we much regret. We have read, with some degree of intercut, a lengthy account of the Pair iu a late number of the Statesman ; and from it we learn that Mr. S. A. Nicktrfcon, of Lebanon, Linn county, exhibited a reaper called the '-Ore-iron (iiant," which cuts a swath of ten feet. The reaper goes be fore the team, thus obviatintr the necci- iy 01 cuiung a preparatory swam wuu a . . . AM. . A 11. Til cradle. It cuts from 15 to 20 acres a lav, and costs about S.'iOO. Among the agricultural implements was a patent fanning mill, manufactured by Van Wagner & Co., of Salem, which judges of such machinery say 13 the best in u.-e. Delos Jefferson, of Marion county, ex hibited a hor.se rake and a straw cutter, both of his own manufacture, and both took the first premium. A 0. Daniels, of Marion county, pre sented some very fine cabbages, besides a variety of squashes. Some specimens of leaf tobacco, said by connoisseurs to be of a good quality, was exhibited by Robert Cray. Decidedly the finest plow of this or any other country, was on exhibition, manufactured by Mr. John II. Lewis, of Oregon City. It took the first premium. Legislative Appropriations. Just before adjourning, the Legislature passed a bill making the following appro priations : For salary of Governor. 83,000; for salary of Secretary of State, 83,000; for salary of State Treasurer, SI, (500; for sal ary of Librarian, 1,000; for salary of Justices of the Supreme Court, 20,000; for salaries of Prosecuting Attorneys, 85,000; for salaries of Pilot Commission ers, 700; for salary of Adjutant Gen eral, 1,000 ; for salary of visiting Physi cian to Insane Asylum, 1,000 ; to pay expense of conveying convicts to tho Penitentiary, 9 00 ; for the payment of expenses and salaries of the officers of the Penitentiary, 35,000 ; to , improve the Penitentiary grounds and buildings, 10, 000 ; for the care and medical treatment of the Insane and Idiotic, 85,000 ; for public, printing, folding, stitching and binding, 10,000 ; for incidental expenses of the Legislative and Executive Depart ments, 8,000; lor newspapers for the Legislative Assembly, 000 ; for salary of private Secretary of the Governor, 1, 200 ; for salary of Assistant Secretary ot State, 800; to pay for printing Procla- rutions of the Governor, and for blanks, 400; for the exclusive use of tho Gar diner shackle for the State, 5,000.

IHvlwlon ot'tho SUtte. Tho proposition to divide tho Stnfo of Oregon has been somowhat discussed of late, and the avidity with which tho poo- two west of tho Cascades wi.o it, is the jest, proof that can bo offered of tho nc- ceptibility of tho scheme to tho public mind; and it is also nu ovn'euco of its wisdom which cannot bo controverted. Tho proposition is aa follows: (Jive Or egon all west of tho (Cascade mountains, and lying between California and British Columbia: form a new Mate or Jerrito- ry east of the Cascades, out of the Terri tory which would bo detached by the Cascades line from Oregon and Washing ton and a portion of Idaho. It will take tuno to accomplish it, and by tho time tho machinery can bo fet to work, tho people cast of tho mountains may be ready and able for a State orgoni.atiou. We aro iu favor of tho division and miggest to tho people that tho question is ono to bo reasoned about with good feeling ami common sense, aud not ono which should bo influenced by politics or sectional pre judices. The interests of the two sections aro diverse iu many particulars, nnd rc- lUiro legislation suitable to their particu lar circumstances. It is for the best in terest of both sections that the question bo met and disposed of as becomes men who desire to promote the interest ol all. It is a nu! jft of vast moment, when wo think that ftyt another State will be -added to the Union ami the delegation in Con gress from the Pacific coast augmented. Iy it, also Oregon is to take those natu ral boundaries which she will probably retain so long as the American Union en dures. In funning States and Territories, it is too frequently the case that the boun daries arc not tuttieiently considered in the relation with the progress of events. Thus, if it ha'l been said tix years ago that the Columbia Basin would be yield ing twenty odd millions of gold and silver by this time, pmpheey would have been treated with derision ; even now thre are those who cannot realize tho proba bility that iu ten years this interior will have its fields and p astures occupied ; its industry upon a found and productive ba.-is; its water power ultilizvd ; the nav igation of its rivers improved, and thous and of cuterpri.-es of public and private importance gU)g niecessf ully forward.

But the war broke out, Mr. (i recti wa" scut to the Rebel Congress, soon lust his property, his position and character, aud now he is a poor drunkard, and earns barely a pittauce of a living as a calaboose scaviuger. We find the above floating around in our exchanges. c are not sure that the game is worth the ammunition ; but if anything le said of ex-Senator Green, it might as well be truth as falsehood. Mr. Green was never sent to the rebel Con gress. It is true, wc believe, that he lost his property; it was "confiscated" under the pure and spotless (in a horn) admin istration of that immaculate patriot aud saint, Abe Lincoln; but Mr. G. did not lose his character. It may be true that he is now a "poor drunkard," but we don't believe it. Not two years ago wo personally knew Senator Green saw him day after day in private life. He was no drunkard then; nor was his "head bent towards the earth;" nor was his "walk a tottering shuffle." Ou the contrary, he had both the will and physical ability to kick all such liars as the writer of the above into a decent sense of the proprie ties which usually obtain amongst gentle men. Tnr. 'Qame on the Plains. Wc no tico the following in a late number of the Omaha Republican : The wild herds of deer, elk, buffalo and other forest animals have left tho plains of Nebraska and wandered toward tho great rogions of loneliness. It is seldom now that wo sec any wild animal larger than an antelopo or a wolf. As the march of civilization treads firmly on to ward tho Pacific the track of the untamed beast and the footprint of the blood-stained barbarian gradually fade away and lcavo all to the. prowess of the white man. A few months ago thousands upon thou sands of buffalo ranged along 4ho Platte Valley without the least fear of human molestation. Frequently emigration go ing to California and Oregon would find their road blockaded by mighty herds of grazing buffalo, and bo obliged to stop and wait for hours to let the formidable millions pass leisurely on. A Test. A native of the Emerald Isle was asked tho other day how he could tell that a man was drunk.

Oue of the principal arguments ot the Radicals against the admission of Southern dele gates to Congress is that section have not accepted "the situation," because of their denial of rights to the negro. Most of of the Southern States have long since tak en action ou this subject, and given the lie to the assertion. South Carolina, how ever, had not come up to the mark, and her delinquency in this regard furnished food for boundless declamation. But wo perceive that bhe, too, has acted. The Tribune of the 24 th ultimo, contains a dispatch from Charleston, dated tho 2d, as follows : "The Legislature adjourned last night. Among tne most important measures adopted were the following : An Act de claring the rights ot persons known as slaves and as free persons of color. This secures to frccdmcn the right to make and enforce contracts, to inherit, purchaso, lease, sen real ana personal property, to make bills, enjoy full and equal benefit of personal security, personal liberty, and private property, and of all legal remedies the same as whites. It further provides for the infliction of tho same punishmeut lor tlic same ollcnccs Upon whites and blacks aliko, and repeals all laws inconsis tent herewith, excepting the law declar ing marriages between whites aud blacks illegal aud void."

Arrest of Orroon Convicts. Tho Tehama Observer of October 13th, gives the following version of the arrest of two Oregon convicts recently escaped from the Penitentiary : ; On Monday last, .Sheriff English, of Tehama county, arrested two escaped con victs from the Oregon State Prison, named Daniels and Frank Williams. Sunday evening after everybody else had' taken supper, Prank Williams went to the .Star Hotel and ordered meals for two, saying that his comrade would pay the bill. The waiter prepared supper, and while Williams sat at the table Charles II. Wagner, late of Portland, Oregon, and now proprietor of the Star, came into the dining room, when Williams, surprised, called him by name, and Wagner at once recognized the convict. Williams and Daniels dispatched a square meal; had no money; were going to work in or near Bed Bluff to earn something entreated Wngner not to reveal their names and character; told how they made their es cape, Daniels taking the lead and knock ing down the officer in charge of the pris on, etc. Wagner felt that he could not, as a good citizan, suffer such characters to run &t large, to prey upon this communi ty, aud therefore lodged information with the Sheriff, which resulted in their arrest at noon on Monday. They were taken by surprise, while sitting in lront of Mr. Payne s saloon, and made ho show of re sistance while the Sheriff handcuffed them. They were taken to jail and pro vided with dinner. TKamcal S win ijm.no. The appoint ment of one Boss, to the seat in the Sen" ate made vacant by the death of Jim Lane, of Kansas notoriety, will illustrate a feature of disunion radicalism. Gov. Crawford appointed Ross just in time to enable that functionary to get to Wash ington last Wednesday and be sworn in, thus enabling him to sit in the Senate the present session, three full days. By this operation Boss draws a year's salary, amounting to 3,000, about $2,500 for mileage making an aggregate of 85.500 for three days' service. If the House should pass the Senate proposition, adding pecplc hare tbia little crumb of comfort, to a disunion radicil to pay. Wonder if he and Crawford understand each other, aud whether this niodc of stealing will not profit both. A corres ponding amount was of course given to Lane, or will go to his heirs; so the peo ple have to pay the salary of two Senators instead of one, because the redoubtable Major Boss he was a Kansas Major got to Washington three days before Con gress adjourned. fQuincy Herald. A contributor tells as a story of a cer tain deacon who was one of the beat of men, but by nature very irascible. A cow was so exceedingly disorderly, as the deacon was attempting to milk her one morning, that the old Adam got the bet ter of him. aud he vented his excited feelings in a volley ot execrations very uudeaconish in their character. At this moment the good deacon's pastor appeared j unexpectedly on the scene, and announced his presence by saying: Whv. deacon ! kof any one being near by ; but the truth! i.. never shall enjoy religion as long as I eep this cow !" ! Back Pay. Would net everv work- ingman, laborer, and artisan like to vote nmself seventeen mouths backpay: and iuereased sixty per cent, at that? That is what this Radical Congress has done. And what is more every workinirnian, la borer and artisan will have to nav his hare of the tax required to make up this extra compensation. OUR AGENTS.
