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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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,

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

A gentleman wlin enmn through hist
Monday informed us that cattle were
dying in tho streets of Tho Dalles from

was even worse. It was but a few
years ago that a similar storm swept
over that country and destroyed the

urge that iu order for stockraisers to
be more safe they must prepare feed
and shelter, and not keep more than

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. Sumo argue that stock rais
ers can afford to lose their herds occa
sionally as tho profit of a few yeais
will amply repay them. 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

to over three f.N-t. In Klickitat Vulloy
it is also over three f-ct deep, and slock

tli3 heaviest snow storm known for

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

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,

tion as if he had . shared' the . fate of

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
