Tim talecvanli brings us the sad
tidings of tho death of Hon.' Geo.
A. LaDjw, whicli oseuiTod at his
homa in Pendleton, Umlilliv Couiir
ty, on last Saturday morninj at 2
o'clock, tho cause being rheumatism
of the heart, to which Mr. LoDow
has from time, to time been subject
for several Tears past. 1
It will bo remembered that ho was
elected to Coiigross last June, by the
Democracy of Oregon,' but as, the
session to which ho was a member
will not moot until iiexjj Decomber
he did not live to take his seat, just
as was the'fos'o with Hon.' J; S. "Wil
son who was elected by tho Republi
cans two yoars previously,' Mr. La
Dow's death will necessitate the
holdins; of a special Congressional
election, whicli wo ' suppose will, be
ordered by His Excellency, Gov.
Grover, to occur Boinetiinb dariDg
the coming autumn. . ; .-(
Hon. Geo. A. LaDow was 'not
brilliant man and his statesmanship
was not sufficiently established to
warrant us in ascribing to . him that
distinguished title; and yet he was a
good man a'n j, true , and noted among
his friends and acquaintances for
his strict honesty and probity of
character and his undeviatiug adher.
once to sincere truth' and niahly in-
togrity. All of these .sterling" attri
butes made him eminently' litted to
represent our people in, tho halls of
tho national legislature just at this
critical period iuour country's career;
honco his sudden, death must, be
looked upon as a 'public calamity as
well us a party jnisfortuno and a
great grief to his stricken family.
May he rest in peace.

During the late canvass in Xew
Hampshire Senator Gordon, of Geor
gia, and Congressman L. Q. C. La
mar, of Mississippi, rnado several
speeches. Thoy went there upon
the invitation of the Democratic Cen
tal Committee, but their speeches
were ontioly void of any thing par
tisan and plead only for justice to
their eee'ion of the country. Thoy
made no appeals for the election of
One sot of candidates or the rejection
of another, but they were met only
with abuse by the radical orators aud
nowspapers: of that State. They
were abused worse than if they hud
been pirates intent only on plundor
and murder, and tho old timq preju
dices were sought to be aroused by
those men whoso only object was. to
regain a hold upon the State of Now
Hampshire. ' Their party' has been
magnanimous in theory but when an
opportunity is given for a practical
display "of their magnanimity1 they
are not able to bear out practically
their theory..','
JTuis was the course of treatment'
they oaw fit to adopt and shows
plainly that, thoy will never do any
thing -to allay the bitter feeling bo
twoon the sections. They will barter
the peace of tho country for a politi
cal advantage, aud if they are per
mitted to retain their hold upon the
country, wo shall be practically no
nearer peace four years hence thun
noWJ Suppose that some of the Re
publican orators of iho North should
moot . with such . treatment in the
douthorn States, what would bo the
roBult? A bowl of outrages would be
raised that would resound from one
orid of tlib country to the other.
Suppose, that John A. Logan a woro
traitor than whom, in the opening
days 6f the war, nover led a battalion
upon the field should be sent to the
South and should bo treated in the
some manner as Gordon and, Lnuiar
were treated in New Hampshire , He
would "lot slip the dogs of war" and
his voice would be raised for the fur
ther subjection of that people. Such
treatment is nothing loss than an at
tempt to suppress free .speech by
mon who are too cowardly to u?.o per
sohul violence. , It is the same spirit
which was manifested by tho pcoplo
of both sections before the wur and
which assisted largely in precipita
ting that conflict. Vlien theso ani
mosities shall have passed awny, and
when sectional spirit ceases to rnlo
the country, then and not till then,
shall' wo have a peace that will bo
'permanent. All othors brought about
by Iho sword or at the sacrifice of
either national or sectional honor,
will be delusive snares, whoso foun
dations nro buildcd in the sand, una
ble to stand a conflict or weather a
political storm. 'When this comos to
pass there will bo no animosities be
tween soctious; thore will be no ap
pealing to old prejudices, aud we
shall once more embark upon an era
of political and incroased material
prosperity.

The inWin of last Wednesday
contaius a rank Know Nothing article,
in which it ascribes the large Demo
cratic gains in tho recent Connecti
cut election to tho influx of foreign
population into tho Wooden Nut
meg State. In alluuing to this mat
ter the Jliilklin says:
Facts liko this may woll give
pause to the thoughtful, for they
tond to show that in a country tho
population of which is so largely
recruited bv immigration, it may
bo possible for a foreign element,
alien in sympathy to all the
past, to coutrul tho destinies of
States, and frustrate tho life-work of
patriotic citizens by thoir ignorant or
prejudiced uo of the franchise.
This is the old pnscriptivo spirit
sticking out, and indicates that ns a
last resort for victory the Radicals of
the country must mako war upon our
foreign born oitir.ens and ostracise
them from our Bhores. This is a
most singular manner of inviting
foreign population among us aud ouo
which will scarooly meet with favor
by our transatlantic frionds as well
as by '.hat large class of voters who
have for years past, by their energy,
industry and sobriety, added materi
ally to the advancement of our coun
try's prosperity. .

AGAIN.
, Yv'iU.ii!r.TTn Fowra, Ogn.V- i
;. : ; May lBt, 187S, , ,
Editor .Democrat: . . ; )
I find the little" communication
that I sent tha Demociiat o short
timo ago has stirred up the good
pcoplo of Harrisburg somewhat, and
I suppose they have trotted out their
best material to put a final quietus
to all opposition to Harrisburg and
its special interests in regard to the
Cau! question. As to the qrestion of
tho importance of this enterprise, I
feel gratified hud proud that there is
no difference, and there seems to be
no diflorcneo a-i to tho starting point,
or so little that it is not visible to
tho naked cyb of a' disinterested
party, but there' ueems. to be some
thing cropping out of the letter of
Dr. Hendrix that would indicate that
tho Harrisbnr people don't want
this Canal built'at all by any Com
pany. The running level that they
had mado by Judge Webber, might
have boen all sufficient for their pur
poo, for it left that thing exactly in
tho right shape' to,' misrepresent the
true character of its cost. , See the
Doctor's letter when ho says thnt, I
forgot lo sny at the sixth station on
the routo run by the lovelei-3, tho
siirfaco was five fect below low water
mark, in the McKonzio at Spores
Ferry., Now this is the truth but it is
not the truth, and tho whole, truth
nnd nothing but tho truth, taking
this whole Biibject into consideration.
If it'was tho Doctor would have in
formed tho public by his letter that
at tho 7th station which ia'only about
two hundred vardsi that at la3t all
that had been gained below low wa
ter and at the level indicated one
foot below low water in tho river.
Just hero let mo say that Mr.. Wob
ber ascertained that tho water lij
the mill pond was, nine feot below
the surfaco of tho ground and there
was but little more than ;n half d
sawiiig head at that time. With a full
head there would bo 13 inches more
water than there was when the sur
vey was made.' That would raise the
water within soveu and a half feet of
that suiTace. Now Mr. Editor lot
us provo our position that the Har
rislmrg Company either attempted to
got this thing in a shape to misrepre
sent it or thoy are grossly ignorant
of the truo character of tho country,
for they : never wore outside of the
limits of innundatod or overflowed
lands till they passed tho point whero
Dr. Hfcudrix boasts of getting bo low
down. At this point (I believe il is
tho Glli station) tho lowest point
wttlnu the ovorlloweu country, tliey
touched a point within bix inches at
a part of the back water from the
mill pond to-day, but the Doctor Bays
tho land is still lower to the east of
the lino followed by the lovolers. This
is truo but this makes tho matter
still worse, however it would make
tho overplus, still deeper and more
to contend with. Now sir, thero is
tho point . Immediately after thissr.r
vcy the Harrisburg Company called
a meeting for the purpose of getting
stock subscribed, und don't you sup
pose the Doctor or somoof tue cham
pions of this enterprise, told the
people at that meeting how easy it
was to accomplish this important en
terprise and showed the tiguros of
the survey in proof of that assurance.
The position that wo took on this
subject was that the leveling showed
that the first station iudicaied IS feet
above low water mark, and three feet
depth of water in tho Canal would re
quire IS fcetof acut. Now this isnot
quite all. Whou this 15 feot cut is re
quired, is Btill two or throe loot bo
low extreme high water, which I
know tn bo truo. Now you can see
that this would require the Canal to
be cut 'M feet dcop nt this point and
still further eiiKt. Then the low grade
spoken of by. Dr. H. to do this
would require all that I said it would
and perhaps more. Somehow or other
my letter of March 27 was mado to
read "that the wtitor stands within 8
or 10 feot of the highest ground that
would have to ba contended with,"
when it should havo read that tho
water nt low stage is only H or 10 in
ches below the head of tho slough.
This slough was intended tu be the
feeder for the lirumly Mill, but was
not mado deep enough for water to
run into it at a low stage and as
statod iu my letter itnvould cost
from 8(HHol,'U)0dollars and with this
outlay you have tho waior two miles
in the properdircction. Then take tho
water out at the mill, there would
have to be a out of about 8 loot deep
i.f water surface, then three feet
depth of water you havo elovon feet
of a cut and this can bn brought to
the Biirfaeo within about three-fourths
of a mile at a cost of about tea thou
sand dollars:, and every foot of it
nbovo extreme high watermark, aftor
leaving the mill. Now Mr. Editor,
I don't know that wo need to quibble
about tho starting point for this sup-J
pnM 1 anal, Uul 1 saul tlui much to
show your reader that the Harris
burg Company did not mean any
thing when they dune this leveling,
for they started within three rods of
the head of th mill slough and thoir
attention was called to thai fact and
they refused to pay any attention to
it, and tho water was passing into it
at tho time, -1 or 5 feet deep, and
they run the leveling lino down the
buik of the slough fur a half mile
and continued to run on ground not
an inch higher fur a mile and a half, !
when the) struck higher lands audi
lwt that J. ie not overflow, tlienj
about a qiiiirti-r farther when they
canto to the mill their attention Wns
called again to tho ea-uV-it routo for
A ciiu.-il by running due norih, but
this rout'! looked directly toward Al-j
I'iiny ami tin y refused to ay any at
tention to it, so thoy took tho road
that lends to Han ishnrg. If they had
taken two or three hours in making
observations it would have demon
strated the fact that water could tw
had very cheap, but it seemed that in
made no di!!'en-nce to tliein as to tho
cost, tor tliev novo" expected to do

pending altogether on the success of :
the Yaquma Bay Railroad, when
thev will yoke tho two enterprises
together nnd I believe they should
have been yoked together Borne time
ago, for I think thoy are twin sisters
of about the same importance to tho
people of the Stato and this part of
the .State, lint x believe this is a
matter of too much importance to
tho pcoplo of this part of the coun
try, to be making a joke of Harris
burg having thrown up the job. I
will now call on the people on the
line of this proposed canal to inves
tigate fcr themselves the importance
of this thing in tho direction of Al
bany, tho distance would be about 40
miles through one of the finest agri
cultural districts in tho world, it
would run through a wheat held al
most tho whole distance, enough wa
ter can bo taken out of ibe McKon
zio to feed the canal, turn out a suffi
cient amount to run down Muddy to
mako it a good healthy stream, but
Dr. H. says thero is several large
streams nr water crosses to cross to
get to Albany. : I would say to the
Doctor thnt we propose to head
Main Muddy, then we havo what wo
call Dry Muddy to cross which is
about 'M or 40 fect wide, next is Cal
ipooia which is a 100 or 125 feet at
a favorablo place, that ia tho several
large streams to bo crossed. Allow
me to say to the people of Halsey
and Shcdda, if you wnnt water call
for and pay for it and it is yours. It
isaccess ible. And to the enterprising
peoplo of tho most enterprising town
in the Willamotte Valley, the town
of Albany, do you want this water
nowordoj-ou think you ever will
want H. If you don't want the water
do you want the business that it
would make for your town as soon ss
this work was completed, but I am
at a loss to know Mr. Editor whether
your people want this canal to ter
minate nt Albany or at Harrisburg,
for you took some pains to recom
mend to the favorable consideration
of your readerq the very able and
well written letter of Dr. Hendrix,
and he aitvocatO'l the terminus at his
town Harrisburg. You and your town
may waift it at Harrisburg but ten to
ouo of the peoplo in this vicinity
want it to go to Albany.
