This is the 103rd anniversary of
Fourth of July orations. It is a day
of great things to those who are on
top. Every man who feels his bosom
vibrate and Lin pulse pulsate wish that
fiery patriotism which animated our
forefathers to do and dare, will go dewn
into the cavity of Lis pantaloons and
diligently count his lucre, and if the
requisite amount be found therein for a
good time, will go in for a proper ob
servance of the time and the occasion !

We hope that the readre of the

Ui tho bent bite lVr the pro(Ksed harbor
of refuge. Ho thought the bay of i a-
ciuina as lv tar the uiost eliuiblo Ioca-
tion for the harlior intendml, as the
waters were smoot h, tho winds subdued,
and the force of the waves btvken by
the rocks along the entrance to the bay.
Captam JohuU. Allen, of the nchooiter
Alio KimlutH, thought 0e Yaqiitna
would lie the best place on the coast for
a harWr of refuge, and would bo pi'e-
rerable to a lmi Ur further south, in
consep:ieiice of ila being olieltered from
the gales. 1 here weiti two pouitx, one
a little south of the cupo and one a lit
tle north, either of which would be
suitable for a bai'lur. He had once
anchored his schooner just north of
the cape, and thought that at that time
there was abundant roo:u for live
schooners. Tho depth of the water
south of the cape he estimated at about
eleven fathoms, and considered it good
holding ground. Xear the beach it was
rockier, but he had never found any
rocks near the edge of the cae. He
had pever been around (.'ape Foul
weather. There was one lighthouse
near the entrance of Vaouina, and just
south of the cae. There was also
good holding ground on the north side
of the Kint. In southerly weather
then was very little fog there. He
found the cape to be a very good land
mark, esecially in thick weather.
Captain Hillver, on being questioned
again, testified further in reference to
the merits of Hay of l aqutna as a site
for the designed harlor, and said that
vessels could ascend the Yaquina river
for twentv-four miles, finding ten feet
of water. The bay in question was
very easy to hud, and all that the mar
iner had to do was to follow along the
line of bleaker until he reached it.
Colonel Williamson entertained the
opinion that very lew sea captains
would wish to hug close to a lute of
breakers, but oit the coutiary would
naturally endeavor to give them as wide
a berth as possible.
Captain Hillver thought there would
always lie a bar at the mouth of the
Columbia river, as it was eight miles
wide and full of quicksand. As the
mouth of the aquiiia was much nar
rower, he felt poetitive that a bar would
never be formed there. There was
p!euty of sand there us well
ai. the Columbia, but it lay on a fortntf.'
tion of a solid rock. The rock tmug
tee shore wg a species or soK Kami
stone, intermixed with cjfv. The
coast in the regitp-TTe3 " Yaquina
tormt-a asrrai,!, ime, and was coiise
lU.i'1 ?v favorithlM for the iiurntm- rif
navigation. In the event of vessel's
not being able to enter the bay,
the cane could be cleared and the
ship's course maintained without any
difficulty. The Yaquina bar could !
crossed at times when it would lie lui
possible to imiss over uuy other bar on
the coast. In spring tides tlieie
was about twelve feet Of water on the
bar, in ebb tide about ei-ht feet, or
eiiiht and one-half. Three or four ves
sels traded there ut a time, and were
principally engaged in the truiisorta
tion of ovsters, lumlier. etc. The re
gion around the bay was almost entire
ly arable laud and well tilted for agri
culture. Shoalwater Day was no let
ter than the Columbia, on account id
the vast quantity of t-aud which had
gathered there.
Captain ihotua.s J. 1'oster said be
bad not been to sea for the last ten
years, but previous to that time he had
been at sea about twelve years. He
liked Yaquina Bay as u site for a har
bor of refuge, and said it was almost a
harbor of refuge already for small craft
as they put in there for security during
gales, lie had been in the bay twice
himself during the winter season. II
thought there were fewer fos between
Cape Blanco and the Columbia river
along this portion of the coast, r rum
his experience with Cape FouUeather
it was justly entitled to its name.
Shoalwater Hay aud Gray's harbor are
not so well protected from the wiudtiand
waves as was Yaquina. He thought
an entrance at the latter jKint would
be a great comfort to Columbia river
commerce. The remainder of Captain
Foster's testimony was merely a re
iteration of that of the preceding gen
tleman. Captain J. J. Wynant said that the
point where tho lighthouse was built
was the only one known to coasters as
Cape Foulweatherr. Its name bad suh
seqtiently been changed to Gpe Ya
quina by Professor Davidson. Five or
six miles from the Uape was Otto J lock,
a large, flat rock. lie was pilot of the
Shulrrick previous to the survey, and as
the steamer entered the channel the
rocks were plainly visible, closely along
side. The bottom of the channel was
rocky, covered with a slight coatage of
sand. The deep water extended close
up to the shore. At the Columbia liv
er and Hhoalwater Day there were three
or four miles of breakers in stormy
weather.
Few more facts were elicited from
Captain Charles C. Hageman, his testi
mony beirg mostly corroborative of
that of the other Captains examined.
He thought all that weuld be necessary
to make Yaquina Cay a first-class har
bor would be the deepening of the
channel. He had found the heaviest
storms on the coast to be between Cape
Fotilweather and the Columbia river.
This concluded the testimony, and
the Board adjourned subject to the call
of the Chair.
It seems quite singular that Yaquina
Bay proper is all at once taking so much
prominence over the claims of Cape
Foulweather- Our people of the Val
ley counties were unanimous iu their
preference for the latter point, and
committees were raised jci the promi
nent Valley towns in that interest.
Col. Hogg was one of the first and most
prominent movers iu this interest, and
here at Albany urged Foulweather's
claims with that ability and pertinacity
for which he ij so justly celebrated.
And yet he is the only person now
repreNimtiiig this Valley before the
Board, and the arguments nude all
point towards Yaqninu Hity instead of
Foulweathtr. Col. Hogg's milroi d ter
minus being at Yaquina, and his ! lids
ying in that psi'tienlar direi tion, can bo
t only iiuonM. eS4?nn " for his
ehunjjH nf hiwH on ihU iiuiiuihiut hu!-

Colonel as a );iMitli-iii in of the liit ii-t
iltibit y ii mi honor, slid il is to be hoped
lint he can explain nwuy the doubts
that have arisen on the subject of his
good faith in this important mutter.
A division on this subject among our
mople citii have no other r fleet than to
lefeat the location of tho proptmed
Harbor at either oint, and up to this
time our ieople were a unit in favor of
the objective point named and so con
stantly discussed Cape FouUeather.

The Democratic State Convention of
California met lust Tuesday at S.it ia
mento, the body consintiug of 3(1 dele
gates the largest Democratic Conven
tion ever held in the State.
Jas. O'Meui'u, Chairman of the Coin
mittee on Platform, remited to the
Convention a series of resolutions of
which tho telegraph gives us the follow
ing syiioj wis : it promises that as the
Democratic wtrty is the only party
which has always obeyed and main
tained the federal constitution, it is
therefore the only one that can be safe
ly entrusted to administer the new or
ganic law of the State. It then goes
on to condemn the general government
for interfering with elections in the
several States ; condemns the Presi
dent's vetoes of the appropriation bills,
approves the conduct of the letutH.'rats
in the.detei mination to nqs-al lus in-
tetferiug with the rights of voters, and
asserts that the Democracy of the State
a.e united aud devoted in nupoit of
and obedience to the new constitution,
and that the party is pledged to econ
omical administration by its piiticiplcs
and usages ; that taxation and repre
Mentation should go together ; that tho
lowest practicable tax late eommeiikU-
rate with the exusea of the State
should 1 letied, and that tax.it ion
should be equally and justly itiinuil
on all property, and iioXeTlqTtl.,IfTe
allowed Capital tnaTia withheld from
other sondes ut t.nu-eitv : that tho
Deiij'5Cratic party of California was (he
irst to antagonize coolie lalsir audjiii-
migration; aud that only to the Demo
cratic arty can the eopl confidently
look for legislation to abate and alsdish
the evil ; that the Democrats of Cali
fornia endorse the action of the Demo
crats ia Congress who secured the av
sage of the Tburinuii bill, comei!ing
railroad companies to pity in teres t due
on bonds ; that railroads and other
transportation col juration should be
subject to state regulation of freights
and fares, articularly those that have
been subsidized ; that mining interests
should Iw protected, and that reduction
in public exjienditures under the pres
ent Democratic administration com
mends the election of the Democratic
candidates in the coming campaign.

Gen. Grant has leen having a "lush

dier. The eorresjKHidenta represent
"Useless" as receiving the nuyt distin

ments at the hands of 'he almond-eyed

the profuse hospitalities showered upon
him by his hosts, the. e correspondents
tell ns of a luncheon consisting of 80
courses. This rather exceeds in infinite
variety anything we have ever heard ol
in the luncheon line, and we naturally
expect to heat of a return of that "dys-
(teimia" which has so often troubled the
Geneial at home. It is not stated wha
length of time it required to go through
the 80 courses, but one would suppose
that if many such luncheons are to be
indulged in, his " triumphant entry "
into the United States will be post
poned to a much later date than was
anticipated. By the way, bis junket
iugs with the Chinese will hardly edd
to his popularity with the people of on
Pacific coast, and if he is to be the nex
candidate of his party, the stalwarts
bad better cut short his stay with the
pigtails.

It will be seen by the proceedings of
the Democratic State Convention o
California, published elsewhere, that
Jas. O'JIeara, formerly of much Ore
gon newspaper notoriety, was chairman
of the committee on platform. lie was
a delegate from San Francisco, and of
course was prominent in everything
pertaining to the work of the Conven
tion. It seems the Californiaus have
to call on Oregonians, after all, to run

the Democratic end in gallant style.

All old veteran of the Mexican war
gives us the following lint of the A liter
ican Generals who fought in alt the
campaigns, including those on the Uio
Grande and on the m.trch from Vera
Cruz to the capital. He claim that
Gen. Shields is the lust on the loll,
which there is now no longer need of

It occurs us that the "old veteran'
who gave tho foregoing to tho Sewn
didn't know who the (Seuerals of the
Mexican War were. Iti his list of
those gallant chieftains he omits the
names of Hopping, ( 'nulling and Lane,
all of whom were Brigidier-Generals
and all of whom tendered gill.int aud
Meritorious service. The article also
says (Jen. Shields was the last of that
line of otlicers. We disir to call the
attention of the editor of the .V to
the fact that CJen. Joseph Lane, " the
Mat ion of the Mexican War," still stir
vi ves, and was a visitor in this city
during the present weed; ; aud although
nearly four score mark the number of
his years, he is Hill hale and hearty

This, our Natal Day, is a fitting time
to correct such grave errors as those
which would rob one of America's he

" A number of army veterans are to

years of fighting and waiting princi

Complaints were constantly tunde of

could pack a jury to convict or acquit,
s they pleased ; that the whole system
'a rotten from center to circumfer

Are you really looking Hfier a Har

of hind from parties on Yaquina Bay?
A month ago when you appeared be
fore the Albany Committee you said
Citpu Foul weather was the cheMs-st,
beat, and the only feasible point for the
location of the breakwater on this

Has there Is-en such u gieat change

Now, Colonel, while you aro iu the

your mighty influence in favor of the

A dispatch ft-oui the Umatilla Agen
cy, dated last Monday, saya that on
last Saturday an Indian named Ola,
nephew to 1 owlish Wampo, attacked a
stranger while passing through the res
ervation. He made several lunges at
the man with a knife, who, putting
spurs to his horse, soon escaj-ed. The
Indian drew a revolver and tried to
shoot, but was prevented by another
Indian. A short time previous -three
of the Indians were fighting by them
selves. Warrants ate out for their ar
rest. On Friday the Umaiillas had a
war dance. On Monday they have
another on horseback in honor of the
departing Bcouts. Some littlo excite
ment prevails. Whisky is supposed to
be the cause.

Til K Catholic Bishop f Montreal is
about to give up his palace and retire
to the suburbs, and a di-.pal'u ' lrOm
that city a few days ago mentions the
fact that the saving t fleeted thereby
will be alsiut $10,000 r animiii. In
these hard limes even Bishoj find it
advisable to cut down expenses. Arch
bishop P-ircell's misfortune may or may
not hate promoted this move, but it is
a move in the right directum anyhow,
and the example should be followed by
nt only the Catholic Bishops, but by
all the other Ui-diops aud church digni
