THE OFFICIAL PAPER FOR ORE&OK
At S UB OF THE r.sl lT.
A Democratic friend of ours, who
happened to bold one of the offices in
the gift of the friends of the party in
power, this week sends us a circular
letter which be bad just received from
Geo. C. Govbam, Secretary of tho Na
tional Republican Committee, asking
him to send in his contribution "such
a sum as he may feel willing to give,
4... V ..N,.l.t nt Krf loaA
than $7.
Although the first of it is
couched in very pretty language, the
last paragraph amounts to just the same
as a command. Here it is:
Please make prompt and favorable
response to this letter, and remit at
once, by draft or postal money order, to
Sidney F. Austin, Washington, V. I.
In giving their reasons for raising
money they have tho following to say:
The importance of. the pending
struggle cannot easily be exaggerated.
.That the Senate is to be Democratic
after the 4th of March, 1879, is very
nearly a certainty. In view of this,
the election of a Democratic House of
Representatives would precipitate upon
the country dangerous agitations,
which would inevitably add to present
distresses. Foremost among their
schemes, the opposition already an
nounce their intention to attempt the
revolutionary expulsion of the Presi
dent from his office. '
If, by the presentation of three can
didates for the Presidency in 1830, the
people should fail to choose, the House
must elect each State delegation cast
ing one vote.
This shows very plainly that the
managers of that grand (grand in its
collections and steals) oh! party are
getting badly scared. And well they
may. They think the election ot a
Democratic House of Representatives
would add to their "present distress
es." Correct again. It will most
surely.
As to the charge that one of the
foremost schemes of the Democracy is
to kick Hayes out of the Presidential
chair, we do not yet know whether to
plead guilty or not. "We all well know
that ne was beaten fairly and that he
obtained his office through fraud, and
if these facts can be fairly proven Mr.
Hayes will very likely lose his official
head. If expulsion from office in this
way is revolutionary,' we would be
glad to be classed as a revolutionist
In answer to the last paragraph we
would say that if the election of Presi
dent is thrown into the House iu 1880,
iust so sure as that time rolls around
will the Democracy carry the day.

ALeast, July lPth, 1S7S.
Editor Democrat: '
I notice in the Standout, of July
12th, an editorial advocating the repeal
of the law "creating the Lock Commis
sion, stating that the Commission was
a useless expense to the State. The
editor is very much interested in the
finances of the State, but we think if
he sifts this question he . will find that
his remarks are not in the interests of
the tax-pavers. We admit that "the
Commission has been rather an expen
sive affair, owing to the persistent ef
forts of the "W. R. T. Co. to evade the
laws. They bought the O. & C. R. R.
Cc's interests in the boats on the Wil
lamette River, and then formed a com
bination with the said company, estab
lishing the rates of freight at $6.00
from Harrisburg, $5.60 from CorvaUis.
$4.60 from Albany and 3.50 from Sa
lem. The company having exclusive
control of the locks, supposed that they
were able to compel the" people to pay
any price that they might see proper to
ask. ' -
The people became alarmed at the
combination, and for self protection
were compelled to appeal to the Legis
lature, asking for the passage of a law
compelling the Locks company to pass
all opposition boats through the Locks.
The law creating the Locks company
did not previde any penalty for the re
fusal of the company to pat opposition
boats. The law provided that the com
pany should pay into the common
school fund ten per cent, of the net
earnings, of the Locks, and this they
have failed to do, excepting the first
year the company paid to Mr. Fleisch
ner, State Treasurer, the sum Df $380
as the income for that year. The coxa-
pany now owes from the first day of
January, 1874, to the first day of Jan
uary, 1878. Since the commission was
elected and have had the means of
knowing the amount of freights passing
through the locks, we find that the
company have derived gross revenue
of $46,000 from the 6th of January,
1878, making a profit of $40,000.
My friend Noltner does not take
into consideration the amount saved
the shippers of the valley through the
exertionsof thecommissioners. As soon
as it was understood that the right of
passage of all boats through the Locks,
there were quite a number of steamers
built by private companies, and instead
of having to pay $4.60 per ton from
Albany the price wasredueedit to $2.50,
making a saving on the amount shipped
from Albany of $30,000, besides the
amount on up freights, the reduction
on that being much greater than on
down freight. M. E. R.

Under the above caption we find the
following in the Oregoniiiu' of last
TuesJay, it having been taken from
Tom Merry's paper fX The Dalles:

Humphrey, of Albany, arrived here
last Wednesday evening (the 10th,)
about 8 o'clock, having marched across
the Cascade mountains, lhe passen
ger train having left for Celilo before
- their arrival, they went out on the
freight train at 9 o'clock and took their
departure for Celilo at an early hour on
Thursday morning. They came by way
of Oak Grove and pronounce the whole
story of the raid upon the place a hoax
from beginning to end. It was started by
a drover who had 170 head of cattle to
sell, at Portland, and who wanted to
raise the price of beef by circulating
the story that all the cattle in Tygh
valley had been driven "off by the
Indians. We can imagine no more
despicable action.
" Twenty-five strapping, Mtalwart
-young fellows'" That sounds well
when applied to the Albany volunteers,
but, Tom, we don't exactly understand
how eur fellows can travel so fast as to
arrive at The Dalles from Albany in
three days. They left this city on
Monday the 8th. and that night camp
ed at Lebanon. Tuesday night they
stoied 43 miles from here, and about
200 uiiWs from The Dalles, iow it
does puzzle us completely when we try
to account for that 100-mile trip on

A friend writing to us from the
Klamath Agency, thus dispels the re
port about the breaking out of the
Indians at that place:
From the newspaper accounts in the
valley I see they are trying to make it
appear that we are having a terrible
Indian war out here. Such is not
the case at all. The Indians here are
all quiet except sixteen Snakes that
left some time ago to join the hostiles.
The white people on Sprague and Lost
Rivers "broke out" a few weeks ago
and forted np, and our Indians had a
good time laughing at them. ' A squad
of soldiers returned to Klamath to-day
from a ten day's scout toward Stein
mountain, and tiey report everything
quiet in that direction.

JNot satisfied with giving us poor
crops and an Indian war this year, the
Lord now sends another afflicting dis
pensation uperi the defenceless people
of this coast. The dispatches of last
Tuesday inform us that that great "ring-
tailed roarer from the big thicket,"
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher started for
this Coast on Monday. He is on a
lecturing tour, and, ' thank Heaven,
will not visit Oregon. If the old gen
tleman keeps up his reputation divorce
lawyers and foundling asylums will be
apt to do a driving business in Califor
nia in less than a year.
It is fun to see the three Portland
dailies quarreling over the question as
to which has given the best advice re
lating to a settlement of' the Indian
difficulty. If they etch tell the truth,
and had the State government taken
the advice of all, we believe half the
population of Oregon would have been
now dead, the other half bankrupt, and
on reservations, and Buffalo-Horn
would be comfortably seated in the
Oubcrnational chair, making arrange
ments for Wenap-snoot and Eagan to
represent the Indian Confederation of
the North-west at the coming
ence of the Postal Union.

ETTI HACK.
The dispatches last Monday stated
that some Nez Perces, belonging to
Joseph's band, had come down from
the British possessions into Montana
and were making their way towards
their old home in Idaho. It seems
they have learned nothing fioin their
last castigation, as they have already
murdered, three men on Ross's fork of
Rock Creek. We hope some public-
spirited persons will send them to their
happy hunting grounds befere they get
back to their old haunts.
Oub next Legislature should by all
means provide tor the building ot a
fish stairway over the falls of the
Willamette. The cost would be but
very little, and the building of it
would allow lie people up here to get
a taste of salmon once in awhile with
out having to pay freight up"n it from
Portland.
Our readers will remember Aafc the
latest news we had last week wasto the
effect that the Indians were moving to
wards Wallowa Valley, with the proba
ble intention of crossing Snake River
into Idaho. Gen. Howard was bo
thoroughly convinced that this was cor
rect that he ordered his infantry to
Wallula to take boats for Lewiston,
hoping to intercept the Indians on
Snake Riyer. Following is the dispo
sition of the other forces, taken from
Howard's official report:
Sanford's throe companies of cavalry
and Miles' infantry are to follow the
Indian trail. Egbert operates from
Baker City, guarding against a return
by trails between him and the Piutes
to the lakes. Bernard is now at Fer-
syth's and moves with six companies of
cavalry north toward Lewiston. I am
en route to Lapwai, Mount Idaho and
vicinity with an infantry force to head
the enemy at the Snake crossing.
Throckmorton is near Pendleton and
will be strengthened by ICisener's com
panies to quiet the excited people;
This 'was Howard's plan on Friday,
the 151th. On the afternoon of that
day three men, in attempting to go
rem Meachamls Station in the Blue
mountains to Pendleton, were attaeked.
One of them waskilled, another wounded
and the other two barely escaped. - It
was such a perilous adventure that we
will here give the telegraphic account
of it:
On Friday afternoon about half past
1, Geo. Coggan, in company with Al.
Bunker and a Mr. Foster, started from
Meacham's for Pendleton. They had
not proceeded far when they came
across a band of about 200 Indians
1 who were driving a large band of
horses. Tha Indians paid no attention
to Coggan and his party and permitted
them to pass on unmolested. They
had gone but a short distance when a
portion of the Indians, about forty,
turned to pursue them. Cogran and
his party put spur to their animals
and attempted to outrun them. Foster
and Banker, who were mounted on
good animals, succeeded, but Coggan,
who was poorly mounted, his horse
being an old stage animal, fell behind
and was soon surrounded by the blood
thirsty savages, who speedily dispatched
him. The Indians followed a abort
distance, keeping" up their fire. Dur
ing the pursuit Bunker received two
wounds in his side and another in his
right hip. Foster, although in geat
danger himself, assisted Bunker to re
meunt. They moved rapidly on, the
Indians following but a short distance.
It soon became apparent that Bunker
could not longer keep his horse. Ac
cordingly he was carefully bestowed by
his companion in a secluded spot. Fes
ter without further delay proceeded to
Pendleton, when, upon relating what
had befallen his companions, Col. Corn
oyer with a party of twelve men started
out to recover Coggan's body and bring
in Bunker. Soon after starting they
met a large band of Indians and were
compelled to return.
Geo. Coggan, the man mentioned
above as being killed, is proprietor of
the St. Charles Hotel, at Portland.
After the Cornoyer party had been
compelled to go back, Col. Miles, who
had just arrived at Pendleton with 300
regulars and infantry, immediately took
np his marc for the front. At about 8
o'clock ou Saturday morning they ar
rived near Cayuse Station, which the
Indians had burned. Here they en
countered about 400 Indians. Here is
the report of the battle:
Getting his men into position Gslonel
Miles opened fire on the hostiles, who
returned it, but without effect neither
side sustaining any injury. This was
continued without intermission until 1 2
o'clock, when the Indians attempted to
charge Miles lines, but were driven off,
the redskins being unable to stand the
fire from the howitzers. In this charge
the Indians sustained considered loss,
t"hose present estimating their dead at
15. Miles' casualties consists of two
men wounded one in the arm and the
other in the leg neither- of which are
considered dangerous. Shortly after
one o'clock the Indians fell back to
wards the mountains.
The reporter goes on to add that this
is the first battle during the campaign
in which the Indians have attempted to
charge, The conflict can hardly be
called a battle as Miles says that on ac
count of the overwhelming force against
him, he only wished to prevent the ad"
vftuce of the hostiles, and, if possible,
hold them in check until reinforced.
This he gallantly did, and when the
fact that his force was afoot and the
savages well mounted, is taken into
consideration the result of the fight
will be better appreciated.' Among the
interested spectators were a large band
of Umatillas who took sides with
neither party but appeared to relish
the sport. It is said that a number of
young men belonging to this tribe,
under Wenap Snoot, have joined the
hostiles. Col. Oonsoyer reports that
the young warriors have passed beyond
his control.
After the fight a party succeeded in
getting Coggan's body, which had been
frightfully mutilated by the red devils.
Al. Bunker, the wounded man, got into
Pendleton the same day. The party
which rescued him had to run with Him
for two miles to get away from the
Indians. He is badly shot up, but
will recover. Coggan's clothing had
been taken off, piled upon his breast
and then set on fire. One finger, uon
which was a ring, was cut off.
Reports of the fight of Miles with
the Indians arrived at Walla Walla
Saturday afternoon and the cavalry
which had started that morning for
Lewiston were recalled and ordered
back to the aid of Miles. This will
bring the fighting force in Umatilla
county np to about 700 men. As
Howard has gone up the Columbia,
Gen, Wheaton will be in command.
The cavalry is under the command of
Col. Forsyth, who is an old Indian
and one 'of the most expe
rienced officers ia the army. Ha pos
sesses the confidence of both his officers
and men, and should the opportunity
be afforded him he will make !iort
work of the Piutes.
. A volunteer company has been raised
at Walla Walla and have placed them
selves at the disposal of Gov. Ferry,
who is at that place. Gov. Cbadwick
has issued a call for 300 volunteers, to
be enlisted in Umatilla county. He
can get no more arms from the general
government, having already drawn the
full amount allowed by law, but Gov.
Ferry has offered him 400 stand which
arrived this week on the Oregon.
Last Saturday .some scouts left
Union and went out on the Blue
mountain road as far as Crawford s
HilL At that place they found the
following persons killed: Olney
McCov, Smith and Jas. Myers. On
account of Indians in front, the sceuts
returned te Union, taking with them
the stage stock from the station.
Hostiles have made their appearance
on Clover creek, a tributary of North
Powder River. Captain Vivian's com
pany of Egbert's command, while scout
ing last Friday in that direction, cap
tured seven Indians, eight sqaaws, some
children and twenty horses. About 30
others escaped. The prisoners have
been sent to Fort Boise. We hepe the
volunteers will not aot so foolishly
to take any prisoners.
ScouU fromMeacham's report large
trail through the Blue mountains pass
ing toward Snake River, made early
Friday morning. . This would seem to
show that at least a part of the Indians
have gone in the direction indicated by
Gen. Howard. Another lot of them
crossed the mountains and started for
Snake River through the Powder
River country, and it is our opinion
that nearly the whole band will yet get
into Idaho, crossing the river some-
where near , the mouths of the La
Grande or Salmon Rivers.
TWtSDAT'9 DISPATCHES.
The dispatches received to-day state
that Miles and his men drove the In
dians back into the foothills near Cay
use Station last Sabbath, after liaving
fought four or five hours at long range.
Quite a number of Indians were killed,
and several horses captured. The fight
was closed by the troops making a
charge snd driving the Indians about
four miles. The volunteers fought well
in this engagement.
On Monday there was nothing but
scouting done in front of Miles, but a
telegram from La Grande stated that
fighting commenced near Meacham's at
6:30 in the morning between the Indi
ans and the SnoJffnss volunteers and
CoJ. Sanford's troop.

Another dispatch states that the
report that the Umatillas had joined
the hostiles was entirely incorrect. On
the other hand, 100 warriors have
joined CoL Forsyth. They fought the
hostiles on Monday and brought in 22
scalps and 300 horses. It seems to us
the regular and volunteer forces had
better be disbanded, and the Umatillas
armed -for the defence of the country,
