HON. JAS. H. SLATER'S SPEECH.
Senator Slater last Monday night
spoko to one of the largest nud'ences
ever assembled in the court house. Ro
twecn 500 ami TOO peoplo were pres
ent, a very great proportion of the aud
ience being ladies. I lis speech was a
masterpiece oT logic, argvmont- ana "i
eontrovertible fact. He asserted, notli
iag against the Republican party or
their I'rcsideuUal citiUulalcs that could
not be proven by tlie record. The proofs
he offered 'wore from that party alone,
and must remain unchallenged and un
disputed. The Senator has a candid,
square, open and honest way of pre
senting hid arguments that cannot fail
to impress his hearers. lie deals
squarely with facta as tliey e'st, and
withaat bomliast and sprcrtd-eagle dis
play of oratory, he nails his arguments
"to the cat-head" with a power of incon
trovertible legic which mrsi convince
his listeners and overpower . his oppo
nent, lie possesses that peculiar nec
romancy of the succcsi.fi-1 orator, the
power to encha:n and hold his audience
against all intennption, and by his can
dor and impartiality of debate ho at
. . . . . . . . .
tracts me attention ana w.ns there-
Fpect of all who are nnder the Found of
his voice.
We regret that we have not tlio space
to give his most admirable scech in
te tail, or to touch upon the points pre
sented by him. Seduce to say. tint his
Sieech had the effect to compel Repub
licans to ponder upon his. arguments
and make many of them hesitate upon
the question as to hour they should cast

magnificent service for the causa of tho
peerless hero, Hancock, and tw work

which will swell our glorious majority
next month.
PIT IT IS ITS LITTLE EED.
la relation to the matter of fees of
Clerks and SherilTrfwc notice a speci
men of Republican jugglery that is
eminently characteristic of (hat party.
Hon. Jno. II. Smith, State Senator
from Linn, introduced a tee- bill reduc
ing the emoluments of those offices to
a fair living rate, but, true 'to the in
stincts" of the lladicaj high-salary party,
Starkweather of Clackamas headed off
Senator Smith's motion to refer it to a
fru?uly committee, and by the power
of the Republican majority secured its
reference to the Judiciary Committee,
where It will mast likely sleep -the sleep
that knows no wak;ng.
" Senators Eilyeu and Smith may as
well understand that the Radical ma
jority in that body will put a dead lock,
if jiossible, on any and all their meas
ures to reduce the expenses, or remedy
the present evils of the public service.
,IXCt.ICIBUS rSEMSCS flAL I.LECTOBA.
The inquiry which was instituted by tlio1
oommiltee organized here. Into tint eligi
tdiry of all Presidential Electors named
ty the Republicans, has already resulted
in the discovery of naveral ineligible elec
Mus in different parti of the country.
They wilt be compelled to resign and new
nanieH substituted. In one caxe there was
loufTd an Elector who was also Collector of
Internal Keren ue. VVaxhintoa Corres

So it seems that Gov. Grover's decis-
' ion in the Oregon Electoral case has'
beconfcs the settled law of the land, not
withstanding, its being , overruled by i
li-aud four years ago. I he Republicans
are con.sci.us that they cannot nullify
the Constitution -in this iesjieet a sec

Transportation corporations und com-
pan pretending to operate as common
carriers, but who have tho power to din
oriminnto as to tho quality or price of
freight transported by thorn, are cer
tainly a great ir.jury to , "tho iublic.
Such monopolies enn "ho, fnd should bo
regulated by law.
That there is at least ono transporta
tion company now extensively opcrat-
itegon that needs some atten
tion iu,JLhii-iepte thero. is o doubt.
From tho circular issued by Mr. il-
l.mt. President of the Oregon IVlwny
& Xiivig; tion Company, wo see that tho
not earnings of timl corporation 'or '
months ending witli ;st Docetuber were
$G9P,SGl CO, while the net eniaings of
the first half of the present yrnr reached
tho handsomo 8in of $1,C2.",000. Tho
circular oracular! r ' observes that "it
will not bo deemed extravagant to pay
that there is hardly another transporta
tion, conipany 'n the- United Slates able
to make such a favorable showing as
this." .
Tho jwit and rapid 'ncrense in tic
freighting business of tlio upper Co
lumbia, r-f which tlri Company now
possesses tho exclusive monopoly, is
given as the main reason of this hand
somo Ehow' ig. It U 'evident from I
further crti&al of lh; circe'ar that ll
O. R. tfc N. Company proroso to hold
this monopoly of tho Columbia, and dc
feat if ossiblo tho construction of nny
and all competing lines. It goes on to
say that "the Northern Pacific R. R
Company have decided to build, and
have nlrcady entered uport tlie cor
struction of 220 miles cf standard
g:ugo railroad, to lo part ot Uieir
through transcontinental I io from the
mouth of Snake River, in a northeast
erly direction to the foot of Ditter Root
mountains; and this new line w'l lea
direct feirtlur to our riccr l',t, awl trill
hare (o J I ullnjriur itj-on vs for
transjorlaiion Jlt-t'itics -vji uiul tloirn
ihf . CVwZ.a." Aga , the circula
goes on to sik of the construction ef
its Company's own Tie of railroad from
Celilo to "Wallifa, "which," i? addn,
"will Etrengtbcn our hold on and give
us cJtlusiee . cvntrcl of llw Columbia
Hirer which mar be termed the back
bone of our ente. prise.'"
barely tlri looks very much ' :e a
r
settled detern 'at ion to ostablitJi a
gantic monopoly snch. as w never
known even in the eld monopoly days
of the I T. and O. S. N. Companies,
and it rhor'd alarm the eople of the
ent'H) State, and espccia"y theso o
Eistern Oregon and "Wash" '.ton.
But in further proof pf this bold a
tempt on the part of the Oregon Ra:l
way & Navigation Company to throttle
the jxoplo and to exc!uive!y control
the transportation nteresf: ct our
State, we qnoto tlie following conclud

With an evident Jitention to head

I n New ( )i hums, on the 20lk of No
vember, 1SG7, General Hancock insiied
his famous order in which he said ;

niiiht be preserved.
"Free institutions, while they ate cs-
sent:a' to the prosperity end happiness
of tho jeop!e, always furnish tho strong
r it fntltictments to pcaco and order."
Tlie r-o won't of wisdom and true
statesmanship. They mean vwlumes.
Compare t'im to Garfield's expression
dui'ng the eleclot.d count of 187C. H
said :
' vYe havo the at my; w have the

and fought for tho Ur!on, because he

To I'ltmlorn Coohn, Km Dr.An Sin.
Your letter of 20tli ' received. I re
gret that you nro ytti'bi I about that
bug bear "southorii war clu' os. 1' -
pie cannot bo misled ly it to nupposo
that "rela;! claiu"" or claims i tho in
terest of ix;rHoi'i who were in the r
liclliou can in any way or in Any degree
be countenanced, Tho J'nputalion of
disloyalty, such as used to le made
sgainut democrats even when they were
in amis defending the country, so far as
it touches me I denounce. T he govci n
ment can never pay a debt or grant a
pension or reward of nny sort for wag
ng wt aga'-it its own exnrtenco ; nor
could I m induced to opprovc or en
countgo poyment of such debt, pension
or reward. Nobody expects or wants
such i' natural action. ' To proioo it
would insult tlio intelligence and honor
of otir people. When reU-llion was
crushed so won the heresy of secession
forever. It u a thing of tho dead past.
We movo forward not backward. If 1
were president I would veto All legisla
tion which might como Wfore mo pro
viding for consideration or jmyment of
la-'nis of any k:nd for losses or damages
by i-ei Nor.s who were in rclx:Ilion,wheth
or pardoned or not. Jii relation to Un
ion war claims, tho government's obli
gatioes to its defenders come first,
They aro last'ng and saci '. The pub
lic lavs of, cfrilizod nations d not in
gencial recognize claim for iiij1" ies to
projerty resulting frni operations o
the war of tho union ; but rui hostilities
were closed more than fifteen years ago
claims of that ntttef, now inostly in
the hands of brokers or jK-rsons other
than the oiig'nal sutTerers, nro becoming
stale slid, 'i m judgment, might fairly
be considered as barred by laje of time,
