" i Hon. John Whiteaker, 'Congressman
rfroiu Oregon, lias arrived safely iu
VTashiugton, so the dispatches inform
ns. He has made tlie "fastest time oh
record from his homo to the national
capital. Mr. Whiteaker left his home
in Lane county on Saturday evening,
March 8, at 7 o'clock. He arrived at
, Portland by npejiul train Sunday morn
ing at 3 o'clock, and sailed on the Klder
for San Francisco two hours later the
, aarae moriling. He leached Astoria
bout noou Sunday, but owing to the
' roughness of the bar was compelled
to lie there until Monday morning.
The Elder experienced strong head
winds all the way down, and arrived at
San Francisco Weduesday morning,
March 12th, at 10 o'clock A. M. Cross
ing the bay at Oakland, Mr. Whiteaker
. ...was placed on board a special train and
, burled across the continent as rapidly
- as ateam could drive ltiiu. Salt Lake,
Omaha and Chicago were successively
passed, and Oregon's Congressman was
borne to the national capital in triumph
v.' Monday arriving there at 10 a. m
' ' Some idea may be formed of tbe celer-
ity with which Mr. Whiteaker was
, hurled toward his destination by the
..run made between Omaha and Chicago
- a distance ot 500 miles accomplished
in 12.1 hours at tbe rate oi 40 miles
an hour. He was just 207 hours in
' making the trip from his humble home
. in Orejran to the bosom of the Demo
cratic Abraham in Washington
. Hooray for our "Honest Old John.'

The Polk countv folks are oranizin
, Antie-Chinese Clubs. Tate people of
, Lewisrille, Luckiamutte Precinct, las
week organized and adopted the follow
'irig ringitig resolutions:
Jtesolced, That we, the undersized
citizens of Luckiamute pnV.nct, do
hereby pledge our words and sacred
honor that we will Dot employ Chinese
and will discourage in all humble war
' their employment by others.
And further, Wo will not vote for
any man for anv public trust in tb
' future who does employ them, or will
'- not pledge himself to support and as
sist our eaorts to restnet Chinese lm
migration.
A similar Club will ba organized at
Independence to-morrow.
Why can't the people of Albany
and Linn county also move forward on
this line; and firmly resolve that the
Chinese must go Hayes or no Hayes!
A "rXDItIOlS- ITLOK-
A Brownsville correspondent to the
Oregonian reports the prospects in
Linn and throughout the entire valler
as most encouraging. The writer pre
diets mat witn a la volatile season our
grain and dour exports for 1S79 will
be at least 40 per cent, over those of
any previous year. This estimate
would allow Linu county alcne two mil
lion, fice hundred thousand bushels for
export this year! And suppose our
- farmers should realize 80 cents per
bushel for their wheat, wouldn't Old
Linn groan under tbe suddenly accumu
lated weight of something of two mil
lion dollars? (N. B. We will make
a liberal discount on our share ot thin
. two an LI lion if paid to us now.)

Census estimates for 1 880 place the
population of the country at 47,058,
371. The apportionment will give
the Federal House 359, an increase of
5G over the present nmn'wr. The
North will gain 47 and the South 19
member. Minnesota, Kansas and Tex
as show tho greatest gains. New Eng
land gain one member, tho Middle
States ten, and the Pacific States four.
Oregon will probably gain an aJ.lition-
: at Congressman iu the new apportion
ment; so aspirants had better begin to
trim their sails for the lofty fliirht.

, Now since the Democrats are in the
majority in .both housus of Congress
why don't the Yamhill investigator go
on to Washington and show our other
Democratic statesmen the trick it is
done by We are sure the acts of the
.Radical administration of the past
- eighteen years would afford a. field for
Galloway's talent. ;
Galloway's investigating committee
is still on wheels. It has departed for

outweigh the benefits to be derived from
a-, such a sickly farce.
Piio?. Powell, of our city, last week
delivered a lecture on high school edu
cation at MeMinnville, which is highly
spoken of by the Reporter.
THAT "rROrOsKD BBEAKWATEB."
Now, just as it was generally agreed
that Cape Foulweather, near Yaquina
Bay, was the most suitable and availa
ble site for the location of the pro
nosed harbor of refuge for the coast
stretching north from San Francisco to
Pugct Sound, that blundering, oflicious
concern, the Portland Board of Trade,
precipitately shoves in its oar and
recommended that Port Orford, away
down in Curry county, be chosen for
the proposed breakwater and this in
the very face of the report of U. S.
ssistAnt Engineer Habersham, of
their own city, who last year surveyed
the Foulweather site and recommended
it as in every way superior to any other
point for this important auxiliary to
our ocean commerce. And Capt. Haber
sham is not alone in his estimate of the
relative cost of the breakwater at the
two points named. The report of Col.
Wilson, U. S. Engineer, shows that
while the construction of a break water
at Tort Orford would cost tho enor
mous sum of $9,405,000, a suitable
one for all purposes required can be
built at Foulweather for loss than
seven huhdred thousand dollars !
And then, after all, what benetits
are to accrue to the commercial inter
ests of Oregon by the establishment of
this harbor at Port Orford 1 It is en
tirely out of the way of any line of
land travel, and the almost impassable
mountains which fchut it off from the
thickly settled portions of our State
preclude tho establishment ot auy line
of transportation to its margin for
years to come. It never would be
likely to afford a connection for com
merco by land and sea, and hence
would never supply that w hich our
people so much desire an entrepot
on our coast that will give us direct
communication with the high seas.
roitianil ol course desires that ves
sels should forever enter and depart
over the Columbia Bar, thus jcrixtuat
ing that city as the commercial metropo
lis of Oregon; and knowing that while
Port Orford levcr could, for obvious
reasons, become a rival for commurciul
purpos.es, which Foulweather so plain
ly threatens to do, her keen-scouted
Board of Trade, inflated with a self-
imputed imjiortance which heretofore
we cow county towns have never
thought it worth while to cavil with
proceed with their usual pomposity to
"resolute" and instruct that the appro
priation for a breakwater bo expended
at Port Orford !
Bearing upon this point we extract
the following from a communication i
the Oregonian of.the 19th inst., writte
by Mr. Denlinger. After expression
his preference for Foulweather, Mr. D,
adds:
"The official estimate of the cost of
construction of a breakwater at Port
Orford, to enclose 90 acre, is $3,427
OOO; to enclose 100 acres at Cape
toulweather,bSU,2.)I 20. Mr. Haber
sham states in his reiwrt that the Foul
weather harbor is so naturally well
protected from tbe most dreaded south
east winds that the opinion was express
ed by tbe seamen who made the sur
vey that if buoys were placed to define
the entrance, vessels of any draft could
run in and find safe anchorage; aud this
opinion is substantiated by tbe fact
that during tbe recent severe storm
persons who were then at Foulweather
say that while the south side of the
cape (exposed like Port Orford) was
"lashed into a fury, the north side pre
sented an area ot nttv acres as smooth
as a mill pond, covered with innumera
ble sea fowL"
The river and harbor appropriation
bill, passed by congress (of which 8200-
000 has been allowed for our harbor of
refuge) is generally denounced by the
press as extravagant. We, therefore,
cannot expect more than a like amount
to be appropriated each year. If 8200
000 be expended each year at Port Or
ford, for sixteen years, we will hare
a harbor (in the language of the report)
"sufficient for present necessities." If
the $200,000 be expended at Foul
weather,, in placing buoys and commenc
ing the Bea wall as proposed by Engl
neer Habersham's report, a harbor
"sulBcient for present requirements"
can be available tbe coming winter, and
the harbor can be enlarged , year after
year as the needs of commerce demand
or the bounty of government allows."
We have just received a printed
pamphlet containing Senator Mitchell'i
speech or this important subject, de
livered in the U. S. Senate on Jan.
1 0th last, from which we learn many
valuable statistics and much useful
information on this point. After show
ing up, in glowing language, the vast
importance of the commerce of the
North Pacific coast, Mr. Mitchell pro
ceeds to illustrate the absolute necessi
ty of a. marine asylum for ships by
giving a table of the number of ves
sels lost or damaged as well a lo-w of
life, on the North Pacific coast from
18G1 to the close of last year. Tbe
number of vessels totally lot is 189 ;
vessels damaged, 240, and number of
lives lost (about) 500. This long list
of marine disasters on our northwest
coast is surely sufficiently appalling to
8how the importance of a suitable, con
venient and safe harbor of refuge which
would save at least a large percentage
of such losses in the future.
By looking over tho table spoken of
we find that at least two-thirds of these
disasters occurred off the coast of Ore
gon and Washington Territory, thus
showing" that our own coast is the
most dangerous to navigation of the
whole Pacific main. This acknowledge
ment of the dangers of our coast may
be considered by some a gratitious ad
mission on our part, and one calculated
to injure our" commerce,. but we don't
look at it in that light. The truth
may at times sound harsh to those who
aro inclined to be politic at the expense
of that great viitue, but its agitation)
will in time prove mora efficacious and
endiuing. Mr. Mitchell certainly" did
not parade this fearful array of marine
isasters to life and property with in
tent to injure the trade or tiatllo ol
his own State, but that the facts
might como to the knowledge of those
who have the power to prevent thoir
recurrence. lliere la no doubt that
the table given by him is correct, hence
the importance of early action in the
matter of remedying these evils and
averting these jwrils in tho future.
And it is our firm conviction, based n
no local prejudices or terriUuial
favoritism, that from all the buvs and
harbors which indent our coust from
San Francisco to Pugot Sound from
the Golden Gate to the Straits of Fuca
no better, nor safer nor availuble, nor
cheaper harbor of refuge can bo select
ed than the point recommended by
Capt. Habersham, Cae Foulweather.

Mr. Officer, a gentleman just doun
from his home in Grant county, informs
us that when he loft there, on the 10th
inst., his stop son, who had been herd
ing stock on the Malhuer river, had
just arrived at his (Mr. Officer's) house,
and rejHirtcd that tho Indians had
burnt the holder' camp and wore kill
ing their stock, and tlmt they(the herd
era), not deeming itsuf to remain there
in such small force there Wing only
two of them had deemed it best to
come to the settlements for help. A
squad of citizens was immediately
formed iu tho vicinity of CSnyon City,
and started for the soeuo of tho out
break. It is supiiosed thtit thosH are
Indians who have never surrendered,
but have wintered somewhere in the
mountains in that vicinity, only await
ing the approach of spring to Infill
afresh their depredation. Mr. Officer
says it is the general opinion among
the settlers that this vesr will witness
a greater outbreak of the led devil
than last year, and that the cilien are
determined not to wait hinder for tho
soldiers to protect thfcin, but are ulrcudy
arming and equipping themselves for a
defensive warfaro and protection of
their homes and families. Mr. Officer
was formerly a resident of Linn county,
and his statements can a strictly if-
lied upon.

The Democrats havo re-elected Han
dall, of Pennsylvania, Sjwaker of the
Lower House of Congress, after a sharp
contest between his friends and those
of Mr. Blackburn, of Kentucky. Kan
dall is undoubtedly one of the most
finished and expert parliamentarians in
Congress, but we cannot refrahi from
wishing that the Democrats had chosen
for Speaker some ono of their number
more fully in sympathy with the grow

and West.
However, we have said our "growl,"

Bhouitl nave accepted a plea of
murder in the second deBree. W hit-
ney was guilty of cold-blooded murder
or else be was entirely innocent of any
crime connected with the murder of
Oliver Hibert. The defense did not
set up in any manner that it was any
other than a premeditated murder.
There were no hypothesis suggested by
which murder in the second degree
could have been considered. The law
fixes the'degree of the crime ; neither
the court, tho prosecuting attorney or
the jury had any discretion in the mat
ter.
The grand jury, a distinctive element
in our lurisprudence, found that a mur
der had been committed under circum
stances that warranted a charge of
murder, in the first degree, and there
was a sufficient evidence submitted to
justify an indictment against John D.
Whitney and arah A. liibert as tbe
guilty persons.
The prosecuting attorney would not
have been justified in compromising a
crime when there could be no doubt ss to
the degree.
Tbo only question to be determined
was whether Whitney was the person ;
if so, the law fixed the degree and con
sequent punishment.
it is true that in most cases there
are some circumstances that might raise
a question as to the degree of guilt, and
where there is a doubt, the accused
should have the benefit of the doubt,
But there is no sense iu finding a per
son guilty of stealing a Baddle-blanket,
when no saddle-blanket has been stolen.
simply because there is not evidence
sufficient to convict a person of stealing
a horse.
Salem boasts of a girl, that spells
backwards. Our Balsam cays that
isn't a very hard word anyhow, and she
isn't any fjuckLjlwrry for him on the
spell!
