W right," which has been agitating the public mind for the past fortnight, is at Jength fettled by the announcement of the discovery of portions of her wrecked hnll and rigging, on the northern coast, near Cane Caution, a few days since. Dispatches from Victoria state that Indians were the i.scoverers ot tna, wrecK. A quan tity ot wreckage, including a pan of the poop deck, pilot-house, blanket and part of a, lady's chignon were picked op on the beach. Officers, crew and passengers are supposed to have numbered 18 or 20 souls. The cause of the disaster may never be Icnowri. A private letter from a resi dent near the scene states that he has containing the steamer's name. It is quite certain that all on board were lost. Major Walker and wife, of Portland, and Hon. Geo. A. Eadca, of Salem, were passengers on board ol this ill-fated vessel, and have, doubt less found a, watery crave , on the Weak. " slormy north-west coast Hardly any one entertains a hopo ol the escape of a soul from the doomed vessel. Iif view pf the extraordinary de velopments with regard to the nn- certa:n existence ot any snch tribe of Indians as the Teton Sioux, to ethcr with other complicated ques tions constantly arising, the Depart ment of the Interior will urge the passage of a bill authorizing the taking of a careful and uniform cen sus of all Indian tribes on the Cont Bent, not only as to the actual num- itr of the various tribes and bands but with a view to furnishing also such data on several important points as will enable the Government to act and deal understanding in the prem ises in the future. If this thing goes on how will those self-sacrificing pat r.ots, our Oregon Indian Agents, live? They have only been able to keep sonl and body together bv returning n few hundred dead Indians on the Government requisition lists each year. Are they to have their little Credit ilobilier in the dead Indian business shut off in this unheard of and outrageous manner? INCREASE OF SALARIES. About the last- thing the now defunct 42d Congress did was to increase the sala ries of public ofHcials thus: President, SoO.OOO; Chief Justice of Supreme Court, Slv',5.0; Justice of the Su preme Court, Vice President, Speaker of the Ilouse, members of the Cabinet, Sli',031'; Senators, Members and Dele gates to Congress, $6,500. The in creased pay of Congressmen applied to those who made the law, and the President commenced drawing his little "llfr from last Tuesday 4th inst. Tn iXATGrRATiox of President Grant, last Tuesday, was an imposing occasion and was witnessed by many thousand people. A grand military and civil parade was had during the day, and a powerful "scollopy -' and gingerbread hoe-down in the evening. At the ball $20 per ticket Was charg ed, which will keep Ulysses ' and his chums in cigars and liquor until the next chance for a big "raise" comes aronnd. , Adjockxed. The 42d Congress adjourned sine die last Tuesday, and j as the official terms pi Senator Cor-j belt and Representative Slater have i expired, we mzy look for tl.em home j shortly. They have both been ener- j pelic workers for Oregon's interests. The Democracy of this State may well be proud of their able Repre sentative, James H. Slater. . Important . Announcement. A San Francisco shipping firm have puta-weekly line of sailing vessels between that city and . Portland. This will be an important benefit to Oregon commerce, and will doubt less have a tendency to materially re dnce transportation rates between San Franc:Fco and Portland. A YOUNii Canadian, at St Japperin, Canada, last Tuesday, strangled Ins young bride to death because she bowed to a former lover whom she met when returning from mass He is the star murderer of this week, so far. ' ,r A TELEa SAM, dated last Tuesday.

Onr metropolitan neighbors are greatly alarmed at the fanners' move merit1 in favor of Astoria (tho only seaport town in Oregon) becoming the commercial mart and the shipping point for this State. And it is not to bo wondered at, since Portland's wealth and prosperity has been real ized by levying tribute, year after year, upon our interior producers and consumers not only of the Willam ette valley, but of Eastern Oregon. Not a pound of our freight, either for purposes nf import or export, is ever allowed to pass out upon, or in from the high seas, without being wharfod, d rayed, shipped, boats d and reshipped through all tho multifari ous avenues which tho Portlnuder's ingenuity can - invent lor tho pur pose of extracting a percentage there from and thus filling his coffers with the money which should of right go into tho hands of the ' hard working producer and tho poorly raid con sumer. ...... f - - jp t 3 - 4 ....... ' The facts and figures, which have been recently. published in tho Demo crat, from tho pens of various cor respondents, havo set our people to thinking upon this subject, and al ready we hear the mutterings ot the coming simoom which is to sweep over Portland and scorch its pros perity with a withering blast which will not leave a vestige of that glory and tinsel which was paid for out of the earnings of the interior peoplo. The commercial editor of the Her ald, on last Friday, in answer to a correspondent who U in favor of Astoria becoming the commercial en trepot of Oregon, says: "Thero is a broad, deep water channel extending from the Bar of the Columbia to this city, which can be navigated at all seasons ot the year by vessels draw ing sixteen feet !or more, and with some slight improvements vessels of seventeen foot draught could conic up to this city without difficulty." Wo certainly think tho Herald over-states the case. It is well un derstood by mariners that thero is only eleven feet of water at Tongue Point (just above Astoria) save at high tide, and as to the "broad deep water channel .extending to Portland," there is surely some, exaggeration The channel is understood to be in very many places narrow, shallow and tortuons, and can only be navigated by pilots of long experience in those waters. Tugs, lighters, etc., must be in constant attendance upon sea ves sels of even ordinary draught, and then scarcely any of these vessels will start from Portland with over half a cargo. These facts are 'so notorious as to need scarcely a repeti tion from ns. . ' And again: Do vessels sail np the Columbia- and Willamette rivers to Portland? Certainly not. No mat ter how wide and deep the channel of those rivers may be made by Gov ernment appropriation and Govern ment improvement, there is the ex pense ot towage from the sea to Port land, always to be extracted from the pockets of tne shipper. Scarcely less than , $500 per vessel is ever charged between Portland and As tora. This is a cost that must always be' met,' no matter 'how deep and wide the channel. . .We entertain no hostility to Port land. We would be . glad to seo it prosper, but not at the expense of the hard working tiller of .the soil and the interior consumor of impor tations. It mnst be patent to every one that until a seaport emporium is built np somewhere on our Oregon coat we can never. expect to take the place, to which our natural ad van tages assign ns among the great sis terhood of Commonwealths. Connecticut. The Democratic State Convention cf Connecticut met at Hartford on Feb, 19, and nominat ed Charles Tt. Ingersoll for Governor, George J. Siell (Liberal Republican) for Lieutenant-Governor; Martin II. Sangor for Secretary of State; Wni. E. Raymond for . Treasurer; Al L. Goodrich for Controller.-' A long set of resolutions was adopted, reaffirm ing, the Cincinnati platform, arraign-, ing the Administration, welcoming Spain to the sisterhood of republics and demanding further legislation in behalf of the laboring classes. The Wisconsin Legislature has before it a proposiiion declaring it a misdemeanor, for a State officer , or member of the Legislature to accept a free railroad pass, f'lf -such a law as that were in force in Oregon our Legislatures wou'dn't adjourn every Friday .until . the next Tuesday for a Portland frolic. They would get throngh the business of the ses sion in about halt the time heretofore consumed. It is'eviderit, from our latest Modoc news,' that the very 'gentlemanly and high-toned Capt. , Jack ,, is. "laying" for Meacham and Applegate's scalps. It only remains for him to take 'em and then we will appoint another peace Commission headed by some; gritty leader, like Gen. Crook, ,The Constitution and By-Laws of the Farmer's Company of Linn Coun ty :' was unavoidably crovvded out this week. , They will appear in our next issue. . J. S. Moulton, postmaster of Mo bile, is .accused of having- played "heathen . Chinee" : with. 20,000;f Government stamps. ' " MOnB OF TUB ntiUEur. Editor Democrmt: . . One of the leading nnd distinguish ing features of the Republican party is, that, the laws of a State,! civil or criminal, and tho jurisdiction of Slate Courts in criminal ns well as in civil cases, can only exist and be exercised in subordination to fvderal authority. It was but recently I filled the at tention of the renders of the Demo crat to this political heresy in. the case of Louisiana, where the two Lesr islatures had ; agreed t to organize a Legislature out of such . material among those claiming seats in the one or the other, uas would '- prove acceptable to the federal adninintra tion. ' Now, Mr. Jesse Applegate, n "high peace Commissioner" to treat with the Modoc Indians, steps in and coolly informs the Governor ot tho State of Oregon, "that the power which created this Commission is tho one to which the citizens of both California and Oregon look for protection and redress." "Either State mention cd having no right whatever to inter fere in the matter." ' . In tho abstract, the above proposi tion may bo true, but not in the sense in which Mr. Applegate applies it, nor is it applicable in tho caso to which he refers. Gov. Grover in his communica tion to the Peace Commission shows two valid and lawtul reasons tor (as Mr. Applcgato choscs to call it), bis interference; first, that certain Indi ans of the band this Commission was to treat with, had, upon ..Oregon soil, murdered whilo at their homes nnd peacefully engaged in their usual avo cations several citizens of tho State of Oregon: second, that the Indians' title to the lands now songht to be re- occupied by this ban ! of Indians was long since extinguished by the author ity of the United States in its treaty witlt thcKo Iudians; and that subse qucntly the federal Government has by its well arranged public laud poli cy, thrown this paniculr section of country open to settlement and occu pat ion by the citizen of Oregon, or those who desire to become such. Here vested rights have accrued I o the citizen under and by authority of law, and within tho jurisdiction of the State of Oregon. In ciicct, Mr. Ap plegate informs the Governor that, for these offvnee against tho common law as well aj our criminal code, the slaying of our citizens in cold blood, tho federal Government, not the murderers, is answerable; and if it is the good pleasure of the government through the instrumentality of this " Peace Commission" for the sake ot peace, to assign to this band ol out laws the re-occupancy of those lands now occupied an l improved by our citizens, it is legitimate "protection" to our citizens, and tho Governor has no right to "interfere," and our laws have no jurisdiction in the premises. I apprehend that our executive and our judiciary will not fctl intimidated at the contents of this "open letter" of Mr. Applegate to the Governor, and if I do not mistake the tone of the Oregon press, I think the Governor's communication is not regarded as 'hasty," but timely. Not so Mr. Applegate. He loses no time; he makes haste to inform the country of his opinions as to the rights of the Chief Executive of the State to exe cute the laws of the State. I do not, Mr. Editor, desire to pre judge this "Peace Commission." I trust their acts in the premises will bo in strict consonance with former treat ies with the band of Indians of which there seems to be a remnant; that t,o mrAarnra :n i,,i .... .aeep mai muies smit ous m Biguianai the civil authorities for trial, and tbatftave tok"athe through their ears the federal authorities will not, as Mr. Applegate seems to think it lawfully may, choose to hold itself in its own way, and in its own good time an swerable to the State of Oregon for the crime of murder,' or to condone the crime for which these Indians have already been indicted. ' Blue Mountain-. Albany, March 4, 1873. LKTTER t'BOJI PIIU.IP LOW. Tanoext, March 3,1872. Editor Democrat-: , . This is my address to the farmers of Oregon and funeral sermon of Portland: We are consumers as well as pro ducers; there is no sense in our ma chinery or anything else we use com-1 ing to Portland in largo vessels. -They mns be landed on the farmers' wharf at Astoria, in order to give our freighter a return load, then they can take our wheat to Astoria at a less figure. 'Again, our merchants must lay in their stock in New York or Liverpool in order to give the vessels a return load; then they can take our produce afT less tonnage to those pqrts. The railroads are a curse to us.- Every ton , ot freight they bring from the iast cheats the vessel that takes away lr produce out of $10 or $15 per ton; nseqnently we ' will be obliged to ay double freight" on outproduce. The way we can remedy this is to deaI " Uh no merchant or Bhop keeper who does not lay in his foods at the principal markets for ' our pro duce, and ships by the vessels .that carry our produce to those markets. Fellow-farmers, if we make use of the advantages that are now offered ns, we can always realize (when foreign markets are as flattering as they are now,) $1.50 to $2.00 per bushel npon our wheat. Read Col.' J. Taylor's letter in the Willamette Farmer. I am acquainted with him and' Capt. nmUVln Welch : thev are men of considerable wealth, and all their worst enemies can say of them is that they are tol erable traders. I have now something to say to tho editor of tho liulletin. I would ask him if the wheat we raise is not ours? If we ship it to Astoria whnt is that to him ? If we do our own business is it any of his business ? I will now take a glance at that beautiful Lady Astoria. Your inter ests are so identified with Mr. Far mer that I can see no reason why you should . not bo married, as 'Squire Locks la promptly on hand and can clinch the contract to a nicety. Are you willing Lady Astoria ? I am. j Mr. Farmer, are you willing to marry Lady Astoila? Your Honor, cer tainly I am. Then I will proceed (tho license being handed me by King Wheat,) to comply with your wishes, as you are both of full age, Lady As toria being a little tho oldest, but that being no lawful objection. Therefore join your right hands.lMr. Farmer, (as you havo jilted damo Portlaad, which was right, because she made you a sl.ive !) will you take tho lady you hold by the right jand to bo your lawful wedded wife, and will you keep her in flour and meat and all the other necessaries of lifo which sho cannot furnish herself? will. Lady As toria, will you take this man (being a farmer) whom you hold by the right baud, to be your lawful wedded bus band, and will you keep him in clams, oysters, sturgeon and smaller fish and something stronger than water to drink, provided he pays you for tho samo? I will. Then, by tho pow cr vested in me, by the auger, chisel. hammer, saw, square, compass, mal let, axe, and pile-driver, I pronounce you man and wile and that which natural advantages have joined to gether let no man put nssunder. Now, Mr. Jiidtttin, what do yon think oT that? If you havo anything to say in reply, treat mo liko a gcntlo- man. Don't make use of such lan guago as to excite my indignation and such as will compel mo to strike corpse. P. I. PACIFIC CUANTEU. McMinnville lots only cost $10.

From theconri crs who arrived from the front. this evening we learn that upon thenar- rival ot Judgo Roseborough and E, Steele at headquarters propositions for the Mrttlcmcnt (4 the Modoc troubles were decided npon, and on Friday Mr. Steele, accompanied by an interpreter and others, went to Cap tain Jack's camp, where they remain ed all night. The proposition was that the .Modocs should surrender as prisoners of war and be removed to some Ufservalion outside ot Oregon probably to Arizonia and be pro vided for b the Government. To this the Indians all airred, and eiirht of Captain Jack's braves accompanied Mr. Su-ele to Fairchild's ranch to con fer with Genera! Canbv and the Com missioncr. whenj they were last evening when the last courier left. Cnptain Jack being sick it will require several days to complete the treaty, w hen it will have to bo approved by the authorities in v aslnnton before it will be enforced. Captain Jack claims that his people were not to blame fr killing settlers, as the citi zens commenced by killing one of his 6quaws and two children. I lie feeling here is that the murderers of settlers should be punished instead of granted co-np'.ete amnesty, as pro posed by the Commissioners. A later dispatch, dated March 4th, says the following dispatch has been sent to the Secretary of the Interior at Washington: The Modoca emphatically reject all oners and propositions, l hey pro pose to meet, in full force. Meacham and Appiegatu with six men, unarmed, in the Lav Bed. This undoubtedly means treachery. We are still willing to meet them in conlercnce, but not upon their terms. They have an ac cession of twenty-four warriors, who are not Modoes. We will send a message of protection to all who will come out. The mission is a failure. Instruct immediately. Time is of vast importance. The courier wails. Signed A. li. Meacham, Chairman Commission. EXKCCTIVK CLEMEXCT. A morning paper says "Governor Booth, baa acted in accordance with the dictates of a liberal humauity in interfering to save the unhappy man, Donovan, from the extreme penalty of the law." He has done no such thing. He has yielded to the perti nacious solicitations of a large class of persons, whot governed by a maudlin sentimentality, .bad it in tbeir power to place Governor Booth in a false position if he did not- yield to their demand. ' There is neither sense nor humanity displayed in this Donovan business. If there ever was a cold-blooded, deliberate mur derer, Donovan was that man. If in the history of California there ba9 ever been a person who deserved death on the gallows, it is the wretch ed Donovan. This insanity business is a trumped-up sham, an after-invention. It is a false sentimentality that forgets the murdered dead, the widow, the orphans, to remember the inhuman fiend who kills. It is a spurious humanity that would let loose murderers upon thecoinmunity, to set at defiance the law and riot in the unrestricted indulgence of their brutal passions. ' It is a maudlin, sickly,, spurious sentiment that in terests itself to save a murderer from merited bunishment and never con cern's itself to regard the safety of the community. , , ; , C A French lady and gentleman at Cape May have been into the ocean every day since early last Summer.
