FEBRUARY 21,1879 THE S lit HOW C.U t!E KAILKOAD. t Oa the Narrow Gauge Railroad ques tion the following communications will explain theiuslves: Albany, Feb. 11, 1879. E'iis G. Ifujtif -. Dear Sir : -A meeting of our citi sens was held at the Court House lust Friday night to have a consultation on the narrow g-.uige railroad scheme pro KMed by your company. The ineetiug was fairly attended and a good ileal of interest manifested. After a full JLscnsssiou of the subject by promi nent citizens all seeming to favor the project a committee was appointed to correspond- with your Company and ask for a proposition from the Company as to what would bo expected of the citi zens of Albany to secure tho road to this city. I have been directed by the other members ot tho committee to address you this note, aud as the meeting adjourned to nioet on Friday evening, next (the 14th inst.,) to hoar your report, it is important that we hear from you immediately. I would like to have an answer by Thursday's mail so as to state its iuiiort in this week's Democrat. Very truly yours, Mart V. ISkowx. PoRTLAxn. Ogn., Feb. 14, 1879. If. .F. 2Air, Esq. Uear iir: Your favor of tho 11th inst. to hand some days since, and I have delayed the reply, hoping to hear from Mr. Pengra in the meantime so as to le able to say definitely what we woidd do. ilr. Pengra is, however, out with the surveyors and I have been suable to hear from him so that I could not at this time say what the Company would do now as to building to. Albany. I can only say that as your citizens apiearMl to have no de sire to have the road, we made arrange ments for running elsewhere, and to induce us to change at this time would require a considerably larger unount than we at first anticipated calling upon Albany for. Whilst I am not at this time in a osition to speak with author ity, I very much doubt if we could con sider a prjjosition less than 40,000. Very truly yours, Ellis G. IIi ciics. A APOLOCT. We have just received tho San Fran ciaco Dally Sand. Lot, a new paper started in the interest of the Kearney ites. It takes occasion to state that "the Albany (Or.) Democrat has it that Kearney was not allowed to address a Kpu!ar meeting after his return from the East. That paper con founded the meeting of the Stock holders of the French bank with a po litical 'out-pouring' that's all. Go home for the news.".' We generally have to rely on the dispatches or ex changes for the news that we receive from abroad, and if Mr. Kearney has made a speech that we havn't heard of we are sorrv for it that is, for our mistake irt tlie matter. We believe we forgot to mention his cnmdo among the working men of MassacLusetts last fall, in favor of Ben. Eutler, who was elected Governor in a ig's eye ! A rSSETTLED QIEATIO. And now here again sow el mm y gays SLukspeare didn't write Sltakspeare. The Ore'jonlan settles the question by asserting that neither Bacon or Raleigh could have written those works be cause of the fact that they have come fr-om ott , 111 ' M 1 unrl WftA Tiofnr11v dictated by the same line of thought. . It seems to us "that the diversity of sentiment evinced throughout the Shaksperian volume would indicate that even a thousand minds might have oceii brought into requisition to prepare a volume which presents the prototype of almost every one who walks the earth and is the glory of the dramatic world. AXOTIIEK OlTliKKAK. The Lttst advices from Alaska, of date Feb. 15 indicate that the white citizens of Sitka aud Wrangle are threatened with nmssacre by the .Indi ans because two murderous red devils fiave been arrested and taken away for trial. It seems that these blood thirsty wretches never will quit their cussed, nesi until v war of extermination is waged. The fact ot the cane is, not withstanding the maudlin sentiment of of the Goper novel readers of the East, that we of the Pacific coast may as well make up bur minds to the inev itable, and amend our declaration that ''the Chinese must go" by adding the Indian also. "UE&ttf-BATS P 1UK 4IOLUE.V STATE. California in getting leady for her fall election. The Deuiotratic party is preparing for a vigorous campaign and the State Central Committee will shortly call a Convention. Logaxism, Canicronism and Grant-. ism, the Baltimre- Gazelle declares, did tbe business for the Republican ' party once, and it may make a corpse out of the old reprobateTieteen'this and 1880. Brit.h Columbia gets a benefit on the late snow 'storm the snow being two feet deep at Victoria. .- San FHasciscoj Feb, 7, lSi& Ediliir Democrat: One would, at a distance from the "Metropolis of the Pacitlo," naturally conclude that the material for ft fre quent newspaper correspondence was her very abundant ; but as Arteinus Ward remarked on the subject of plu ral wives, "the muchness of the thing" is what confuses me. . , At the present writing tho business atmosphere is sereue figuratively speaking, radiant with smiles at the prosjicct of capricious rains iu the in terior. In order to impart a proicr understanding of why business men in this city have been enjoying a season of gloom, it is necessary to state that the fanning interest in California sleeps over a volcano, as it were, in conse quenee of the frequency of devastating droughts and when the farmer fails, all interests in San I rancsioo sutler a pro tracted ' SEASON OF DKPBESSIOX. The city has not yet recovered front the crop failure of 1877-8, hence the present anxiety over the prospect of a recurring drought which has been im minmt, butwhich cannot now take place over a large area of the State. Next to the drought, STOCK GAMBLING Ranks away up in the scale of dan gers which beset Californiana and men ace the general prosperity here. The bate flurry in stock that is, the latest "deal" has proved prolific of much distress ; and what is most singular in this connection is the fact that people utterly decline to learn wisdoin from experience. Wise manipulators under stand this, and so precipitate periodical "deals," and always with the same re sult, namely, the rwbbory oC the un wary and adding to the plethora of their coffers. FLOOD, FAIR AND MACKEY, The Bonanza Kings, have each ac quired fortunes in this way by the side of which those left by Vanderbilt and A. T. Stewart are quite inconsiderable. Bat THEY ALL IK) IT ; That is, immolate their all utjpn the sacrificial altar when the periodical craze" comes round. The near ap proach of our UKSKRAL ELECTIOX lias al reedy set the political cauldron boiling, and the possibilities are so dif ficult to conjecture, owing to the gener al relaxation lot old political ties, in consequence of the formation of the WORKlXUXES's PARTY, That the Democratic and Republican parties are in doubt as to whether they had not better join forces again against the new enemy or hazard separate tick ets, so far, at least, as the city otlices are concerned. AH ACCIDENT AXD Til EX AN 1XCIDKNT. Kearney, about whom so much la said and so little known, is at once the embodiment of an accident and an inci dent. An unlettered drayman, it was the merest accident that he canio to the front at the head of the multitude, and then still up to 'TaEASOX, STRATEOEM 'AXD SPOILS,' Anything to relieve thejoselves of the incubus which weighs npoa their ener gies and resources, all entailed by the cupidity aud knavery of the old par ties by turns. Ten thousand of the men in the city could have done the same thing better than Kearney did, only the blind, indifferent courage was lacking. It was an accident that the local authorities dignified his incoher ent ranting imto a CHEAT PCBLIC DAXOER And stupidly and maliciously perse cuted him in every conceivable manner, even to procurirg the enactment of a special law to fit his artic-ilar case, Great courage and fortitude he has, but no other special " qualification for the position he occupies as the lead er of a great popular reform ; and here is where he cut his figure as the in- cidetit simply of the great political up- heavel which, by the merest accident, he had been primarily instrumental in foisting upon the body politic. - As a simple matter of courtesy he is now permitted to occupy a position of seem ing prominence while his suggestions are not seriously listened to. As an example of the innate weak ness of the man it is only necessary to state that immediately subsequent to the Constitutional Convention elec tion last fall, he was prevailed ujton by an illiterate but designing and cunning adventurer, by name Carl Brown, to place himself in his (Brown's) keeping, go to Massachusetts and raid Ben But ler's bank account to the tune of untold thousands, in consideration of services in the then pending gubernatorial cam paign in that State. ' Tie merest novice in the histories of living men would have known that cock-eyed Ben was the last man on earth to go in quest of on such business. Tho out-look now is that both the old parties will be flayed in this State, not by reason of Kearney's influence bat in spite of his blunders. The peo ple are ripe for a change. They argue, and with good reason, that they have all to gain and nothing to lose by the experiment. The ' Chinese curse, the hard times and the thieving propensi ties and dishonest ' practice of the pow ers that be, have so tried the patience of voters that they will not hesitate to change the "evils 4they have for ; the evils they know not of." When t begun loll lettM , I tbhteift plated giving a brief tuicdimt of1 taiVOtal episodes 'and happenings of more Of less interest, but I am admonished that the same is getting quite long. I can not, however, t forego tho 'attempt to narrate the circutnstnnco of a very nar row if not miraculous escape from iu stant death of I.UNll PittUEtl" It ALL, well known in Oregon, in this city the other day. Strolling up Market street in a "brown study," ho turned into the entrance of Ihe stairway leading up to Gordon's job printing establishment, intending to go up. Immediately upon stepping inside he was borne to the floor by a ponderous elevator, freighted with Carlos White's cylinder printing press, which in its noislcss descent bad not attracted his attention. A seoond ere the mountain weight had settled itself upon him, Hall's orys attracted a passer-by who yelled at tho top of his voico and mado himself uudvrsood on the third floor whenoo tho loud had started, in time for tho operator to reverse the pullies and release the hap less victim from his imminent peril. Hall's dismal groans during his brief imprisonment were suggestive of those f the league-long giant, Encvladus, when Mouut Etna dropped upon him during his vain battle with the God. To say that Hall saw "visions of judgment'' is to draw it mild of course. Enough for tho present. Vkuitas. JtSTICB AT LAST. At last it seems that justice is to be done to the family of Gen. Robert"" E. Lee, as we notice by a recent dispatch to the Chicago Tribune that tho Arl ington estate is to lie restored to the Lee family. Tho pnor says that it is the general opinion - among lawyers fa miliar with tho subject that the Arl ington ejectment suit, which the Unit ed States district court bus just de termined in favor of tlio I-es, will al so be decided by tho United States supreme court, to which it has been appealed, in their favor. Tho judg nient of tho lower court restores the ntire estate to hint and calls far the ejectment of all tenants who have been in possession since the sale of the estate under a tax sale in 103. This includes the Unitnd States as a tenant of the National cemetery, the 15,000 union soldiers dead that lie therein, and the Government signal oifico and station at Foit Whipple. The decuaun undoubtedly will give cncuut-agcnirnt to the managers of tho bill, which pio poses that congress shall purchase the proierty. It is just to General I.e to say that he has no desire to disturb tho patriot dead, or regain poMou-sion of that part of Arlington cemetery projer which is but a trifling portion of the whole estate General Lee has only wished to establish his entire pro erty rights, and is quito willing to surren der that ortiou of the estate, or the whole of it, to the Government at a fair valuation. . The decision shows that tho courts hare been unwilling to sustain ono of the arbitrary sets of the great war minister, Secretary Stanton. It is certain that he declined to receive tender of the taxes made prior to t'ie sale by '.ho northern relatives of Gen. Lee, on the ground that Gen. Robert E. Lee was a rebel, aud that no relativt should be permitted to redeem his prop erty. Secretary Stanton, the court says, had no authority to do this ; and it is particularly Uou that act alone that the whole case tut tied. . The judge who rendered the'decision cannot bo charged with being a southern syw pathizer. IMrOEf AST SIF-UEJIK tOtltr VKt'ISIOX. The most of the decisions of J udge Harding have been mversod by the Supreme Court now in session. Here it one of considerable importance, taken from the Salem Statestitan of last Tues day: B. F. Burch, appellant, vs. R. P, Earhart, respondent SYLLABUS. A specific appropriation to pay an existing debciency may properly be em braced in a general appropriation bill, within the meaning of section 7, arti cle 9, of the constitution. . , Section G, article 9, of the constitu tion. does not require the legislative as sembly to levy a special tax to . pay a deficiency when there is an income from existing taxation and other sources suf ficient to pay such deficiency, as well as the other current oxidases of the state. It is for the legislature, ami it alone, to determine whether receipts from ex isting taxation, with other sources of income, are sufficient without an addi tional tax to pay deficiencies, as well as the current expenses of the State. Judgment of lower court reversed, and a pro-em ptory mandamus ordered,. Opinion by Kelly, U. J. ( The Philadelphia Times says: It would be measurably just but by no means wise for the next Democratic Senate to halt Mr. Conkling at the door of the Chamber and instruct him to return to his State and have its laws obeyed; but it would be well for the Senate to settle the question for the future, by " declaring that Senators chosen by' Legislatures. ( which aro elec ted in plain . violation of the Constitu tions and laws of their States,' will be refused admission to the first legislative body of the nation. , The wonder is what Alaska will do if even jEastei'h Oregon and Washing ton are suffering from storms and snows.

A gentleman wlin enmn through hist Monday informed us that cattle were dying in tho streets of Tho Dalles from starvation, while out on tho prairies it was even worse. It was but a few years ago that a similar storm swept over that country and destroyed the flocks aud herds in vast numbers and it is upon them nguin. e enn but urge that iu order for stockraisers to be more safe they must prepare feed and shelter, and not keep more than can properly bo cared for. In the long run it is the only mode to win success. However much o deploie the terrible calamity the truth must 1 told in order to prevent otheis from following in tho train of heavy stock SI 1 ill'. uefticrs ana eveniuuiiy meet a similar disaster.

Such argu ment is suicidal to the country, its du- vxlopmuiit nuu jroHpenty, uul wo arc convinced that but few preach this doc trine, and still fewer are illiii;; to prac tice it. The following wan the stale ( lli! weather, an far as wo could lenrs, on ThurKtbiy of last wet k : At tlio Cascades the weather it cold and snow falling rapidly. While the Wide K'rjdt was lying them yestirduy one foot of snow fell. At The 1 Villi- one and a half feet additional had fall en, which will prolmbU bring its d'pth to over three f.N-t.

The Orejomttu of tho same date teams from a gi-utleiuiui who hail just arrived from thn upper Columbia that tli3 heaviest snow storm known for years had prevailed over a Urge poition f Kustcru Oregon and Washington Territory. On Tuesday wiek, tho snow was twenty inches deep at The Dalles and the roof of tho largo wars- houses Wlonsiii" to Mr. Moody at The Dalles was crushed in by the great weight of snow. Tho damage result ing from the accident is quite heavy. Munv of tho awnings about The Dalle havo also been crushed by the snow. The snow extends as tar east as 1'anvon City and the roads are blockaded and almost ini0KhaliIe. At the Cascades Thursday morning tlio snow was two feet deep, at I'elilo nearly three eet, and the day previous at (ioldcndale, in Washington Territory, 25 miles from The Dalles, the snow was 3H inches deep ami still lulling, latest rejiorts from thn HI no mountain state tho snow was falling thick and fast and travel greatly inqiedisl. Grave apprehensions are entertained for tho cattle and shcej: and heavy J ox- mro anticiixiUiiJ. It is also stated by the S(tndnil of Tuesday lost that a man was buried in an avalanche of snow near Tlio Dalle and of course perished. Tho same pa per of even date goes on to givo the following lieart-renuing account a similar calamity : It seems as though our duty to-night calls upon us to chronicle much sorrow sadness und death. It has Wen truly written that in the midst of life we are in death. To write this item which will carry with it a crushing weight of agony to a : mother and family who now think thuir loved one as joyous as when he left them, and will not know of bis terrible death until she reads these lines. She must learn sooner or later the terrible truth and we givo it as follows: "Two weeks ago yostcr day a party of five - men consisting of Thomas Parker, ' whose step father, mother and family reside near Oregon City, James Johnson, Welch, Carson and a man name . unknown left this city for Wasco county. They arrived at The Dalles and started on foot to ward their destination. Upon arriving at the nine mile imst they wero over taken by a snow storm and took shel ter in a barn where they remained over night. The next morning, as the snow was very deep, Thomas Parker, Jos. Johnson and Welch concluded to return to The Dalles. After taking a few bites for breakfast thoy started on the fatal journey. The had not gone more than a inilo and a half w hen Parker gave out. His companions then concluded to return with him to the barn. The cold was terrible. They worked with him for a long time, but found that all must perish if they did not leave him., The trial to them must have been great, yet they let him sink down in tjhe snow, where he, sank into bis death sleep, and turned their laces on tho back , truck. .When, tho , men reached the barn they were almost in sensible from -the cold, staggering and reeling like drunken , men.. Tbey wern taken to a, farm house, where it was ascertained that both of Welch's feot wero badly frozen. Tho farmer quick ly mounted his horse and went to the rescue, at the same time intending to go to The Dalles "for a physician. When he reached the boy life had flown, so ho took the corpse in front of him and, carried it to tho city where, subsequently, an inquest, was held and t&e remains given decent burial. The farmer could not get a physician, so he hurried back to the sufferer at his home. He found. 3Yelcli in great pain, and beyond the shadow of a doubt, both feet will, have, to be , amputated, leaving him in nearly as bad a condi tion as if he had . shared' the . fate of poor Pavker. . ' f ALJI01T HIBIKD ALIVKf A Nlartllai Urnlrat. Ontt of tlio strangest' and most start ling occurrences took place last week wo havo heard of for years. Wo have read accounts of bodies upon being oxhtned to be found turned in the colli n aud indications of a terrible death struggle having ensued after the poor unfortunate had been -buried; wo havo ruad of persons going into trances and being mistaken as to thoir having crossed tho dark valley to the other shore, but wo have never hod a reul illustration so near home. The facts aro as follows: On Thursday morning of last week, Mrs. Owoiislsgle, who lives about fivo miles from this city on tho Boon's ferry read and only a short distanco from Mntzgor's gluo factory, was cooking breakfast for her husband and family when she was taken sudden ly faint. She was assisted to a bbd and a son sent with all speed for the neighbors, but bulbro they arrived, to all apjiearances, sho had died. Her breath ceased, also her pulse, and her limbs became rigid sud cold. Two daughters who reside in this city were sent for which summons they answered with all hitsto. The- homo was filled with sorrow and lamentation for the dear mother who had loft her loving ones behind. Time passed and while watchers sst besido the body the coffin was procured and taken to tho house. The funeral was to take place on Satur day morning hut. The colli n was ta ken into the room and placed ujon chairs beside the corise, and weeping fi tends were standing near waiting to j luce the body in its tost? wood casing. Kverything was quiet as tho house of death, when suddenly a gentle moan broke the silence, slid all startled as if shocked by electricity. In a few sec ond another moan bioke the silence and the blue libs of tho supposed cor phe. The occupants of tho room weio greatly frightened and upon the jHjint of fleeing wltwn her husband rushed to her, torn tho cloth from her face to lind that sho was breathing and that was all. Tho oofiin was hustled away, warm blankets, stimulants, etc., in endless profusion wero soon brought into use, and the sorrow of the house hold was turned to joy and gladness as tho frigid limbs relaxed, the pulse mounted higher and higher until -the entire body was aglow with rarmth.snd the xxr lady who came within a few second of being buried alive conversed with them in cheerful tones. She soon recovered her wonted strength and is to dav attending to household duties. Many will say this is only sensation, but we can assure them it is solid truth as the family aud daughters are well known in this city, and tho very lady herself can be found at home only a short distance from tho Red House on Macadam Road. All must agree that this i a startling incident, and one that does not occur twice in a century. is it rAi r Among Russian women there is no happier class than the wives of tho priests of the Groek church. The rulo forbidding a second marriage of tho priest render a wife secure of the de votion of her huslmnd, who, in toe case of becoming a widower, retires to a monastery, whore bis only compensa tion for his loss is the boe of ecclesi astical promotion. KxcAuny. That puts the husband in cloao quarters, but it seems to us that it gives the wife a big chance and allows her the latjtudo that her poor defuncted husband didn't possess. She is not disjiossosscd of tho right to marry again, but he is 1 Now we submit to a candid world the question is that fairl A COOD H DESE. The passage of the Chinese bill has mado quite a stir in tho .East, oa there is a maudlin sentiment there in favor of all sorts of races except the Cau cosian. Ihe fact it manifest to every one that the Chinese must not be ad nutted indiscriminately to infest our shores or the people will adopt some sudden and effective remedy to stop the evil. Congress thanks to the gallant efforts of our Pacifio coast delegation- has wisely provided a remedy, and per haps saved our poople from, a greater calamity if possible that of violence and anarchy. Indian Dave, son of Wapato Dave, is now in jail at Grando Rondo, charged with the murder of another Indian. A short time since these Indians went out hunting, and a couple of days after ward the dead body of Dave's compan ion was found in the forest. Dave, when arrested, said the other Indian had shot himself, but circumstances in dicate w premeditated murder, and he will bo held for trial. . A young lady of Salem, whose name the Statesman kindly suppresses, but who it certifies is of reputable social standing, was arrested on Saturday last charged with stealing from another young lady, a valuable lace handker chief. On her effects being searched, the missing "wipe" and half a ' dozen other stolen articles wero found. ., The snow on tho summit', of the mountains over the McFenzio road is one of the heaviest that has fallen for many years. It is said to bo between 30 and 40 miles across, and ' from five to fifteen feet in depth. The mail .car rier has to uso snow shoes to cross with the mail to'Ochoco.

Quicksilver is on the rise. The sheriff of Siskiyou county, Cal., advertises the sale of the Kroeline cinnabar mines, tho company Laving neglected to pay tho taxes thereon. The Seattle lairttljeneer advocates the orgsnizslion of a board of trade or chamber of commerce in that city, which is a very sensible suggestion. Several horses in. the vicinity of Sub limity aro sick from the effects of an epidemuj now goiog through that re gion. No case as ye has proved fatal.
