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!

"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

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.

A 1)kikuatk SruKAi). 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.

Just before adjourning, the Legislature
passed a bill making the following appro
priations :

salary of Secretary of State, 83,000; for

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.

A. Douglas, the best debater in Congress.
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

Losing tukiu Tuu.mku. 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."

Empress, whenever I have soon her, was
not remarkable as to dress, looking in that

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.
