I In accordance with ft custom that lias jiTTvailel for a long jw-riod of time, I, AV. W.

In testimony whereof 1 have heie tmto set my hand and caused the seal to be affixed tho day alio v a written. SKAL. "W W. TlIAYEH, Governor of Oregon. By the Governor: 11. 1 Eakhakt, Soc'y cf State. the r.iririr toast. If Garfield is elected rresident which many doubt he has received a terrible rebuke for Lis vacillating jhiI icy on the Chinese question. The white people of this const are nuxious to lid themselves of this alien popula tion hence the vote that Gen. Han cock received, lie carried California and Nevada, and would have carried Oregon but for the corruption in Tort land and down the Columbia. Multnomah,- Columbia and Clatsop, where corruption fund was used, secured more than the majority for Garfield in the State. Oregon is Democratic to-day, and all that is necessary is a noble ef fort on the part cf the iH uiocracy to carry the State in 1882. I.?t tho Dem ocrats make it a sjiecialty to organize. Look at the strength and power that Multnomah gave in this campaign -by Democratic organization. Ijouk at Linn, which in June lost a'.l the priu- cijial offices in the county, ami yet by organization and active, unceasing work we carry the county by a majority that has seldom been excelled. If Democrats stand by their oigani zition tLev can carry the State at the next election. All that is needed is ef fort and woik. With the proper work the Pacific coast, two' years from now. will join hands with the "solid South." THE s AMlH UITI1 TI1K ITI1. The late rre5iaenti.1l election has demonstrated two things. One is on the question as to whether Southern people should have the power to main tain them. The Republicans begged that question all through the campaign. Many of -thera insisted that tho South had no rights, and that if they secured power they would alms'. it.' The fact ii, that the Southern people are the most patient people in the world. Po land, with Russia's swerd drawn over it, could net endure itli more fortitude its oppressions than the South t-ubmits to to-day. It is a ere-lit to the Pacific coast and to Oregon, that, believing in relieving the opprestd, we i,!inost pre sent a solid electoral vote fur Hancock and for the relief of tho.-ie Southern people. A UOtT .rI. There was ''more truth .han try" in the banner that w as carriej in the postmaster's wHgon last Monday night. It recited that -thi3 is the pet that Hancock's goose was cooked in!" There is no doubt whatever that if Hancock is defeated that transparency conveyed the truth. It was carried by a jost master a Federal office holder who knew that he had been asfes.sed to ac complish that result. It is sometimes said that an honest confession 13 good for the soul, but who would expect a Radical office holder to ride in a wagon to make that confes sion ? KF-Mir IN OH ..

Eleven hundred and forty-four for Hancock makes the Republicans mad. TEKSOVAL. Jas. O'Meara, who was the editor of the Democrat on its, inception, is now oditor of the Santo Jloift Democrat. He has been on a nnmber of California pa pers since he left Oregon. . ' : Monor war. The Investigating Committee re ported great frauds in the conduct of this war. This report war placed on every meinlK.r'rt desk in Washington at the time the bill to relievo tho State of Oregon from this debt was pending in Congress. Of course it killed tho bill. This Stuto has not only lost this appro priation, but has been compelled to pay some three years' morn interest in con sequence of this attack made upon the integrity ot the people of the jieople of Oregon by a committee worthy only of -the contempt of every citizen in this State. Tho State may lose the entiro amount of $14J,000 and interest paid, but should Congress now pay tho prin cipal, Oregon will nufi'or a loss of ovf-r fifty thousand dollars interest in conse quenco of the action of this investiga ting committee. Notwithstanding great efforts wero made to snppifss this re port in certain quarters, better councils prevailed, and it has come to light to haunt thoso who fathered the iniquity this is intended to expose. There is a broad streak of villainy running through tho proceedings of that investigating committee, lollowing is the nr.roKT : To the liouomlile thf Stale S'litttr vf the F.leivuth lluumtil Srvion of the J.tyWiitntr A&wmbty of the Htntf of Omjoit : Pursuant to Senate Resolution No. 13. appointing a committee to report whether tho findings of the investiga ting committee appointed at the hist session of tho Legislature to examine the accounts and claims incurred in the prosecution of the Modoc war were correct, tho committee appointed under the provisions of tho resolution have to rejiort that they have, with the assist ance of Mr. C. D. l'olger, a qualified accountant, made a thorough and ex haustive examination of all t he ac counts and papers relating to the sub ject now on file in the office of the Sec retary of State, and find the accounts to be correct and the property properly accounted for. This result is so much at vaiiance v.'ith the report of tho com mittee of last session, that the follow ing explanation is necess-iry : The Honorable Secretary of State, in re sjionse to S.nate R-jsolution No. K, stated that "he was informed that since the. printing cf tho previous report, evidence of the proper accounting of the property had .en discovered, which, if found at tho time, would have changed their findings and conclu sions in the matter. How much or what evidence this committee Iras that the pievious committee did not, we are not aware. It is evident, however, that they did not have all the papers pertaining to the tutject, or their find ings would have In-en difleient. In their printed report the '."ollo vin ; ex hibit is made : No. of horses 'iuivluiK.il "4 Issued and Bold 2 Unaccounted for :52 No. of Sad J!e? purchased , . 7'i f-stied and sold 1 " Unaccounted for Co Pairs blankets purchased 10.!

Sold to troojis 1.5 To clearly understand the proper ac counting of the ptoperty as id.own, and which may have escaped the notice of the previous committee, we find that '' horses sold to troops and others to have been done in the following manner: At the termination of the war tho account ing officers were authorised by the State authorities to dispose of the prop erty remaining on hand on the best terms attainable ; those part ies holding vouchers would have their purchase en dorsed on tho "voucher, and when the State gave a bond for such voucher the amonnt of the purchase was deducted. In this wise the property "sol. I to troops and others" is accounted for. As the basis of the report of the previous committee was ujion the ex hibit herewith shown, and which proves to be erroneous, the conclusions arrived at by them of there being fraud in the matter are not sustained. The previous report publishes bills of supplies purchased from S. Marks k Co. at Roseburg, Blowing excessive prices. It will be remembered that at the time the purchases were mado tbeir payment was a matter Of long delay and uncer tainty, as at the time there was no law authorizing the payment of such claims, and none was enacted until some vears after. If' moro than regular prices were charged it was in consequence of the risk taken. In this connection it may be proper to state that purchases made of similar articles as those named in the bill of Marks & Co.-from whole sale merchants in Portland were at no lower prices.' In conclusion, this committee is of the opinion that the claims for which the bonds cf the State were given were correct and just. " Resjiectfiillv submitted, John' H. Smith, ' ' ' G.W: Fcltox, J. T. A r persox', Committee. PtKHAPS the Oreyontan will again "cuss" the 'left wing of Price's' army that vote in Eastern Oregon. Mis. Mary H. do Oraffonreid has given us a dissertation on Chinese wiit tng that might bo of valuo in Oregon, and especially to some of our own Al bany renders. She BHya that man' im agination has invented two vntems of writing entirely distinct. The ono em ployed among the Chinese is the hiero glyphic system tho other, in actual use nmong tho enlightened nations of the globe, bears the name of tho alpha betic or phonetic system. The characters which tho Chinese employ in writing are not letters, prop erly .called, but they are veritable hier oglyphics ; they do not leprcsent sounds nor articulations, but ideas. TIiuh ''liouHo" is expressed by the aid of a singlo and special character, which never varies. Tho Chinese of u past generation may have designated "house," in spoken language, by a word totally different in pronunciation from that which tho " Nation of tho Sun " to-day uses ; yet tho character representing "house" remains identical. The pro nunciation is subject to tho laws of change, but tho hieroglyphic never. Is tho result fcurpi ising ? Think of our figures, which are hieroglyphics. The idea of unity ndded seven times to it self is expressed in I'lance, England, Spain, Get many, etc., by the aid of two circles superposed vertically and touch ing each other at a hitigle point ; but, in seeing this ideographic character, "8," the French pronounce it mil ; the English, ehjht ; tho Spanish urm, and the Germans . All, however, agree in assigning to it the same value. If the Chinese ideographic characters wero generally adopted, us the Arabic figures are, evety nation could read in its own language tho grand productions of the master minds of every country without knowing a single word of the sjMjken language employed by the au thors who wrote them. Were this the case, English-speaking people could pe ruse with delight the burning thoughts of Goethe, the beauties of ''.It-rusul. nime Liberata," the brilliant it of Don (Quixote, tho glowing eloquence of the "Ex position de hi 1 tjctrlne Catholique," by "l'Aiglo do Meaux," and jet not be subjected to the inconvenience cf learn ing new dialects and hauling over musty dictionaries.

The long life t " a stiulious Mandarin is not sntlicient to learn to read the Chinese. Ianitia2' But the process of acquiring it affords fins tiaining for the mind. We believe it was Remusat, that distinguished French linguist, wlio-e name recalls one of the most irreparable losses the republic of letters has ever sustained, w ho suggest ed that we s.hottM study the Chinese as other languages.?' We-study a language as much for the benefit of its literature as for the mental improvement obtained by the acquisition. Then, as Goethe says, " He who knows not foreign tongues understand not his own." By acquiring iietv languages we have a more complete command of our own. But as the Chinese is not even a dis tant cousin of our mother English, and as it can boast of only a very limited number of ehtf ,Vffnvrm, the induce ments to undertake so laborious a task tire very few, except for tho purpose of obeying the Scripture injunction "Go ye into ail the world." It is not the case, as some, however, imagine, that tho hieroglyphic charac ters can only bo employed to give ex pression to common-place ideas ; some of tho page of the romance, Yen kiso li, afford living testimony to the fact that Chinese writing can be the medium of conveying the most subtile, the most critical abstractions. Vet, it is far more difficult to write a science about mind in this language than in the al phabetic ; hence missionaries find it al most impossible at first to employ pro per terms ta convey to tha Chinese mind spiritual truths. But the greatest defect of this writ ing i!, that it has no means of cxprPKf ing new names. A reporter once wished to send a written communication from Canton to Pekin containing the information that a memorable battle fought the 1 1th of June, 1800, saved tfie French from im pending niin; but he did not know how to inform his correspondent, in characters purely hieroglyphic, that the name of the plain, which witnessed the glorious achievement, was near the town of Marengo, and that the victori ous General was Bonaparte. A nation among which projier names can only be communicated from one city to another by envoys, would seem to bo in the ru diments of intellect ii 1 culture,, and audi, doubtless, is tho caso with the masses. There are u fw oracled of wisdom among them, and but few. The hicroglyphio clinracters lonslS tute by far tho greater moss of their writings, but now, when it tmcoinca necessary to write u proper nanio, tho Chineso divest lh'so characters of their ideographic signification, ami 'employ them to express Hounds and aitieula- tions, or, in other words, to pei f,.rm thn office of veritable letters. 1 Would that their National Council would pass a law us inviolable as the laws of the Modeu and Persians, to use only twenty -six letters instead of 210. or to substitute our glorious English with Uji rich vocabulary for their defi cient tongue. Then would Christiunitv sing a joyful song, and tb,o Cliineso in- tellcct, so .ong dwarfed, would bo ex panded and developed, und iierhniix we should hear of Chinese Newtons, Mil tons nnd Beaconsfields. 4r rAii i:ao miiii kmi.wav.

Editor Ih'Hwerut: Hut : In tho lssuo of your paper of dato Oct. 29th I noticed tin editorial paragraph criticising severely Judge Doady'a bill for aorvlccs rendered as Referee In certain Stute cases. . Tlrt statement was rondo that only llvo days had been occupied In tho trial of tho enses, making tho Referee's charges grossly exliorbltant. You also say that tho finding! of facts und conclusions of law arrived at by the Referee have been unfavorably re garded. Tho latter proposition I do not care to discuss, 'fho cases ero yet pond ing In tho Courts where theso decis ions must finally stand or full, "ft would bo Improper to nrguo them be fore tj'0 country nt this time. An Injustice has, unwittingly I presume, been dono Judgo Dcady In assuming that he only rendered five days service In theso cases, thus seemingly making his chargo appear disproimrtloncd to tho labor ier- formed. Having hocii engaged us associate counsel In some of tho suits In ques tion, I am cognizant of tho facts re garding tho reference of thoso cases to Judgo Dcady, and tho amount of work bestowed upon them by him, a fair statement of which Is proper In view r f your criticisms. When these stilts were ready for reference, coun sel for tho respective parties being mutually desirous that tho Referee should Imj n lawyer of recognized ability, experience and Impartiality, unanimously agreed to request Judgo Dandy tis accept tho ungrateful j-osl- t Ion. He was accordingly requested by attorneys representing Is.th the Stato and defendants to nceept tho ap pointment. He objwtud to doing so, I nt after repented urging by the counsel, finally eonentid, first In forming the attorneys that ho would charge tho sums afterwards present ed t. tin Leglilatur?. I ho price fixed upon was deemed reasonable, and somo of tho attorneys stated to him that they would ask loi payment at tho hands of thep.oper Legislative committee. Now n word ns to the time lnvolv ed In the trial of tho ease.. After wine preliminary ftkirmlshlng l-efore tho referee the Juno 21. trials wo bosun on Alsnit live days were consumed In taking testimony nnd tho Introduc lion of documentary evidence. I5o:'i parties it-lied on tho acknow ledged ability of the referee In (lifting out and digesting what was'relevant and material, and therefore submit ting indiscriminately tho records, book1, vouchers und other papers of fho j-trito administration for eight years, t )n the closing of the evidence tho lalmr of the referee really begun, and he worked Incessantly from that time on to the KOth of July, when the decisions wero eoneluded. Much of the time the referee was compelled to work front daylight until midnight, performing two days wjrk in one. Tills was rendered necessary In order that th? hearing nf the rases might not conflict with other duties on his part. Tho ibor actually expended in those cases would have been dis couraging In tho extreme to ono who has thorough training. To theso who know and appreciate the ability, experience and character of tho distinguished genttoman upon whom tho laborious and unpleasant duties of a Referee in those cases wero literally thrust, tho price In formally agreed to Iks paid him will not scent Incommensurate with the services rendered, much less should ho to subjected to criticism of an un kind naturo for asking its payment. Believing that your artlclo was written without full information re garding tho facts, rather than with an Intention of doing an injustice to any one, I venturo to ask space in your columns for this letter.
