MART. V. BROWN, EDITOR. FRIDAY DECEMBER 17, 1SS0 In yesterday's edition oi the Oreyoni an there appeared a letter of Vfm. I". Prosser, ia answer to the letters of John A. Crawford and Jason Wheeler, in regard to the road over the Ciiscades between this city and Prineville. lie denies stating to Mr. Crawford that the roal was better than he (Ciawfortl) had represented, but we learn that if need be Mr. Crawford's statement can bo verified by witnesses. He also charges that Mr. Crawford's and Mr, Wheeler's letters are tissues of unmiti gated fabrication?, aed intimates that they were written by other parties. That very point dhows' conclusively that Mr. Prosser ia not the author of the letter to which his name is signed, as he has only met Mr. Crawford a very few times, and h;s acquaintance with Mr. Wheeler onv reached over the period of his trip over tie road in question, consequently he is not ac quainted with tbe:n to be suHicient to judge of their literary attainments. The facts of the case are that the Piossur letter was written in Portland by par ties who are doing everything in theit- power against the piopased Oregon Pa ci5c Railroad. This letter also s'atcs that on ac count of tho lack of bridges on the San ttam, Soda, Elk and Snow Ci celts, trav el could not begin on the road dui ing the past season until J uly iSth. Any one who has ever been over the road will at ooce notice the absurdity of this statement. Elk and Saow creeks aie so small that a man can aoa them at two steps ; over one there is a bridge now, and the other is so shallow t'.iat a horse's knee would not be dampened by crossing it. 1 he f-icls of the case are that a working force followed up the saow line in the spring, and' as soon as the fallen timber was removed, travel commenced ; the sliwus mentioned had nothing to to do with ii. The open ing np of the road depends cntiiely up on the season. The w titer of this arti cle, together with D. T. W. Harris and Dr. E. O. Smith, took the first wagon acroaa the mountains in 1877, crossing this road daring the last week in April, and several other parlies who started at the tame time on the McKenzie road did cot get over until two weeks afterwards. Even then they ha 1 to double their teams, while our party west through with only two horses. We traveled two hundred miles on this load, and we feel safe in saying that theie ii no road even on this side of the mountains of Lalf that length that will compare favorably with it. Mr. Pressor's ( !) statements in re gard to the veracity of two of our best citizens, and egainit the Cascade Wagon Road, are perfectly prejxisterou when lead in this community, but way be the bottom of tLe. whole matter. This letter was no doubt written at Portland for the purpose of throwing a cloud upon the title to iheae lands, with the object ia view ef preventing Eastern capitalists from investing in the Oregon Pacific Railroad, to which company these lands have been bonded. THE SCFKEHE BE.1TH. r The latest reports concerning the impeniD2 vacancies in the Supreme Ceurt are that Circuit judge .Wm "Woods, of Montgomery, Ala., (a na tive of Ohio) will succeed Judge Strong ; that Stanley Matthews will be appointed as Justice Swayn&'a suc cessor; that Attorney General Devens will have to wait for Justice Clifford's death or resignation, and that Sena tor Edmunds will be given a seat on the f.upreme Bench by the retirement of Justice Hunt, provided a till be passed by Congress authorizing Hunt to retire upon full pay in advance of his attaining the age now requisite under the general law. It U, bow- ever, very improbable that two addi At . .1 t " ... ... uituai uuw men wm oe elected as as sociates on the Bench -with Chief Justice Waite, and as between Stan ley Matthews and Judge Woods, the former has the best chances Jor prefer- enc?. Justice Clifford's death may b3 expected at any time, as he Is af flicted both - with soieDir.g of the brain and paralyse. . He is now una ble to dictate a complete scntence,and therefore c-auaot tender bis resigna tion unless an unexpected improve ment-in his healtii should occur, Justice Hunt's condition is also very precarious. ... He has softening of the braia and, like Justice Clifforde cannot sign bis own name. lie would have resigned long ago had Lis pecu niary circumstances, apart from Li3 salary, been sufficient to comfortably support his family. ; - - Lateb Justice Strong resigned on the 14th, and President Hayes has nominated Wm. B. Woods, an' Ohio carpet-cagger, to fill tk0 vacancy, Justices Hunt and Clifford are slight ly impraving. Olb people of both political parties tlirew in money lijeraliy dating the list ctmpaign ; how would they respond ' if they were asked to contribute a little towards forwarding the interests of our. city t A few dollars expended in the publicatioa t a pamphlet descriptive of Albany and her rf sources would bring thousands of dollars here. Who 'will take the step t ...... yi, t THK TAKIir ftlEvriOJI. The undersigned having bent re quested from various sources to explain what they understood about "A tariff for revenue only," submit the following: First A tat iff for revenao does not mean fi re trade ; for .under tho present system of deriving duties on imports, largo amount of the revenue necessary to defray the expenditures of the na tional government ; a tariff for revenue necessarily means a comparatively an absolutely high tariff, and one that in all conscience ought to satisfy ay rer tonab'e demand for protection. Second A tariff for roveuue does not mean a further continuance of high taxation imposed originally and solely to meet the exigencies of a great war in time of peace, whea all ncceKhity for such taxation has passed away. Third It does not mean the fui ther continuance of a mixed system of du ties ; ro much sjieciGcally per pound. per gallon or bushel, and then in add tioo so much ad valorem. No ordinary person of.eu cxpeits can readily tell what such duties amount to in the aggregate. They were intentionally made complicated to prevent knowledge. They afford con scant temptation on the part of iiu porters to deceive and of oUtcials to abuse their trust. Such duties, furthermore, act as pro- lubttora of imports, and so dry up com ruerce, increase enormously the cost of commodities to tho people, and to pre vent tho treasury from obtaining ree In support of these statements, take the following illustrations and proofs In 1879-SO wo imported ?30,9SO,000 worth of woolen- goods j in this van amount on-y $5,000 in value represent imports of blankets, and the coIe of the United States use annually blankets to tho value of $120,000,000. Xow tho rer.son why only $5,000 worth of blankets were imported in 1879-80 is that on tho commonest cheapest class of blankets, such as th poor man can only buy and must have, that the miner, the traveler, the em ployes of our railroads, conalt, forges and furnaces generally buy and use, such blankets as cost thirty cents pc pound in Euroje, the duty u twenty cents, and thirty-Gvd er cent, ad valo rem. Now, how many persons know how much theso mixed duties amount tot They amount to one bundled per cent How many j-4'isous, hen the facta are explained, wouM cni'nti.nce tmch an out and out ulcu, 1 How many members of Congress would ever be returned by their con stitpents if they voted yea on a plain andimple proposition to tax an essen tial atticle of consumption of our jnjor laborers to such a degree 1 In 1S79-S0 the duties on blankets were so heavy that almost none were imported, the treasury deming fron onr impoits the pitiiu! sum of ?1,?33, bile the people were no doubt unnec- miari! v taxed over and above wK outr-iet mms comu rcsjmre ,ior projec tion several million of dollars. A tariff for revenue only as will be seen by the classification herenfter aub mitted of forty jkt cent, would give some revenue from this source to the treasury and protect the manufacturer, Again, worsted yarns, which cost ia England thirty-one cents, are charged with a duty cf twenty cents per pound and thirty-five er cent, ad valorem, exual to over 99 per cent. The conse quence was that we imported and con sumed exactly $11 worth in value and the treasury received just forty-eight dollars revenue. ; Certainly r.o one will dispute this demonstration than if the above propo sition were subject to a duty of forty per cent ad valorem the treaeury would receive more and therefore diminish the necessity for taxing other things ia or der to secure revenue. A tariff for revenue, and taking a load of taxation off the shoulders of the masses of the people. "' Fourth A tariff 'for revenue only means simplification of our tax laws, and more receipts in the national treas ury. It will be the lifting of a load of not less than several hundred million of direct and indirect taxes from the peo ple and at the same time insuring a continuance of pmtection of domestic manufacturer?, a degree of protection greater than was ever granted under any tariff enacted from the foundation of the government up to 1881. The undersigned, in order to make their ' meaning clear in detail, have drawn and here submit what in the present situation of the country, they understand by a tariff revenue only, based on the iinportatiotis of 1879. Such a tariff will insure ample revenues for .the country and give every reason able protection to domestio manufac turers. - yji course me auove tann can in many instances be made specific wher ever it is made practical, but it should be done upon the projwsed baxin, and also give alcohol, fiee of charge, to our manufacturing chemist. ' . The main object is to eliminate from the tariff those unwarrantable duties that- prohibit importation', strangle commerce, increase the cost of living and production in the -United States, and. all. for the benefit of a comparative ly few individuals.

Special Agont Prosaer having report- eu umavorably in regard to patenting tho land grant given to the old noun- tain rond company to the present own era, John A Crawford, of this city, who was President of tho W, V. tt C M, W. E. Co., cts him and the Ovrjoma p in this style : To the Editor of the Oreyonlm : In tho papct of the 8th you public a telegi-apbio diapatch from Washing ton, headed "An Oregon Fraud," and on tho 9th inst. a leading article begin ning "Disooveied at Last" Both art based upon a report Baid to have been rendered to tho general land office by special agent named Trosser. In your loading artielo you use the expression A traua wuich has Jong been notori ous in Oregon." When anyone, wheth er a "special agent of tho land office" or not, says one thiug and writes the oj posite, the public should know it, espe cially when he is made the organ of charges of gigantic and notorious dis honesty. Mr. Prosser was introduced to me at Albany about the 21st of September, and told me that Le was a government officer deputed to go over and examine the road, from complaint that had been made at tho land offico (hat there was no road and that it was a fraud on the government. I asked for and he then bhowed me hi instt taction, wliio included a letter from a Mr. Barnes, making these statements. Ho proposed to buy or hire an Indian ony, under the belief that there was no road. He was amazed to find that a two-horse carriage could go over the road. I in trod u cod him to Mr. Jason Wheeler, of Albany, and arranged for him to have two-horan carriage, and they started. Befoie they started Mr. Pros3cr had a conversation in my presence with Dr. W. F. Alexander, ho told him that ho had we'ghed on a Fairbanks scale six wiion lcails goii'g oerthe moun tains, and that with a s'.n! team they took IS00 and 2 500 pniuuN.and double teams fioai 2500 to 2500 ji ndn, with out am (nub!?. Healja i-.v Mr. W, K. Pius, who to! J him i b it hi team waa a tuiull one, but he took 1800 pounua ovtr ilia urrjimluius with ease. They returned u the evening of the 19th of .October, an I I taw Mr. Prosser at bis hotel. He to! I ;ne that he Was very rgrcraMy diwr-jioiuicd, for the road was evca U-tlcr than Lad been represented bv an.- t-j 1 iui, and that the man that put i i t!ie t 'yoit to tie land oCc? put it -in with aom clciign, and that it was a lie fiom the wuid c. He said that the ro.id was the beat moun tain road he had traveled in thUorany other country, and that it must l ave cost aa fmmente amount of money and iator to make m-cb a ro:a through so rough a country. Ho s-ttd tt would be Uitter for one or two more bridges. told h'tu that they had len put there originally, but that the mountain fire had burned tl.etu out and topi-d the travel, and that it had bccv.f.'iind bet ter to cradw down to forda ic''l ! clear the strcau for passage. He also remarked that between Ochoco and Camp Harney that is from 150 miles to 29.1 miles from Albany where the ater in place- had washed the dirt from among tho rocks it had b ft it a little lough fur wagons, and tl-at it necued some rept-ii. I letnarkcd that I did not think the company was obliged to keep it in repair beyond the part where they look toll. But that I knew that all the compay Lad re ceived for tolls and uioio had always been expended on the road. He told me that he had seen and talked with many oftbe settle -a along tho road, that they were all well pleased with the rood, and that he considered it the giealest enterpriae he had seen in all this westei n country to open up that eastern country to this Willamette val lev. ticept as uuove stated Jir. i'rosser I. . i . made no -complaint alout the road, but on tho contrary expressed hi: admira tion and satisfaction with it. I tiave!cd the road myself first in 1871 with a party which went from Albany out to Camp Harney, 93 mi'es. Tho road was then in good fix and in a condition at which wo were all surprised. Wc had a four horse team and a two hcrso carriage. We went from 20 to SO miles a day and had no difficulty whatever. Wo found a good road all I he way, bridge? wherever nec essary, and no difficulty in crossing any stream that were not bridged, in fact in the eastern section bridges wero not neeesKary or desirable, for the streams are small ana sballow and even if bridges were thero a traveler would would lake the ford in pr-frence, that he might water his stock. I am not one of the original stock holders in the company, although a ret- ident of Albanv who caroo there in 1852. 1 was one of the parties who purchased in 1871. The original com pany filed articles cf incorporation on May 20, 18G4, and had done a large amount ofc work before the act of Con gress granting the lands was pawed in 18G6. The object of the company was to open up communication between the Willamette valley and the country east of the Cascades. Since 1871 upwards of $27,000 has been expended by the present owners in repairs and mainten ance of the road from Albany to the DesChutes river, being the portion of the road over which tolls are taken. Since 187 J tho company has paid taxes to a considerable amount. I should mention that this Mr. Barnes hose statement to the land office was shown me by Mr. Prosser as the cause of his being sent out, i one of a large nutnbar of aquattm-n oti '.he road com pany's land. An action of ejectment is now pending agaiuHt Mm in the United States Circuit Court. I cannot but think that tie telegram to the Onyoiti an from Washington waa haaed on the statements of Mr. Barnes rather than on Mr. Prosser'a report, for he, when he saw me in Albny,clmrcterii!ed Mr. Baroes' statement ns a lie. In conclusion I havo to nay that how far the Ortymiinit't charges tf f -aud is justly made against other militaiy wagon road grant, I have no means of knowing. But so far as the Willamette Valley and Cascade Mountain Wegon Itoad ia concerned, my own knowledge of the facts enables me to deny the charge ia the strongest tonux. JNO. A. CI1AWFOBD, IWt W.

Little Is known in advance concerning tho mcssngc, but it Is not likely to bo a very startling or Im portant document. None of Mr. Hayes' messages bavo icon especially marked, as slate papers,and the most conspicuous thing about them, usual ly, Is tho algnaluro of a man whom God Almighty never Intended should subscribe himself President f the United Hlates. If Jngersoll, "Royal Bob" as Garfield calls him, were ca'lcd upon to explain (he circum stance bo would doubtless classify It as one of the "Mistakes of Moses"; or Joo Bradley. But tbo things which so constantly remind us of this disgraceful p!odo In our national history will sooa havo passed away and whatever may be thought tf, or como from, tho next occupant of tho Whlto House it will bo worth some thing to him and to hi Administra tion to have It Mid (hat ho was elect ed. The hhort nation of Congress Is generally an active one. The limit of Hi duration is known nnd there Is Dot no much time for taking things oasy. Among (he members wllh whom I have talked tho impression prevails that very Utile miscellaneous legllatlon will be accomplished dur ing tho present session. The appro priation bills and Mich other routine business as may bo necessary vill at best occupy a large tdiare of the time, which, deducting the usual holiday recess, will be but about seventy working days. Tho calendars of the two houses already embrace a very largo number of measures of more or less Important e a great many more than can oMsibly bo disposed of, even If no other business was to be brought forward. There are pending In Com mltleeof the Whole, la tbo House, over two hundred bills, all involving to a gnater or less -degreo the ex penditure of money or (ho donation of public prejsrly. Grouping them Into classes they may lo partially de scribed is : b"'ls to provide for the Pty:nent of tho public debt and to farlHatc (ho refunding thereof ; bills afiecllng tho revenao ; bills affecting the coinage ; bills relallog to (lie poa t.:! service ; bills relatlDg (o tbo pub lh prlnilng; bills relating to tho Dis trict cf Columbia, and miscellaneous bills. Then Oii (ho regular calendar are ao hand td and fifty other bills, ataoc; which is ouo to restrict Chi nese immigration, one in relation to national banks, one providing for the tranf-.r of tbo Indian Bursau to the WTr.r Department, and ono for tho re lief of riiz'Jehn Torler. All of mciilan, mustcauso much dUeuslon when taken up for action. The extra s.slon talk bus in a measure subfided. Thoso Uepubll- cans who oro especially anxious (o get possession of the llouso offices hope to see mat'ers so shaped that an extra session can bo secured, but the more sagacious i nd respectable mem bers of tho party do not favor if, un less there should prove to bo a genu Ine reason for it. The Senate will of course bo convened . after March 4th for action epos General Garfield's Cabinet appointments, and there Is a possibility that complications in con nection with our Chinese relations may also demand attention at the hands ef that body. But with the Senate in the bands of tho Democrats is it Is almost certain, to be, a special session for political ends would b worso than useless. Tbo stalwart wing of the Republicans declare a purpeso to prevent tho new appor tionment for members of Congress being made this winter, with a view of redoclng the representation of cer tain .Southern States after they get control of Congress. But If their party dots not Imvo n majority In the Senate the scheroo would fail, and the attempt would ot do Its prr-ject-tors any good. Speaking just now of Garfield's Cabinet reminds me of Deacon Rich ard Smith's report that ho found a general feeling In Washington In fa vor of making General .Graot Secre tary of State. ' That is about the best joke of the season. 1 have knocked around Washington among that sort of people who talk about these things a good deal,and to my cemln knowl edge the bare mention of tho thing causes a smile. Was there ever any. thing to equal the insano toadyism displayed by an element in the Re publican party towards U. 8. Grant ? Conkling la credited with a purpose to make him Senator from New York, and the Camerona of Pennsyl vania are said to have a sly notion in the same direction. Somebody sug gests that if Conkling -insists upon making Grant pt-e his colleague, Don Cameron can take to himself Fred, the sen. Then while all this talk is going on we bear that a lot of old toadies who havo more money than sense are raising $250, 000 for the Great American Deadhead to live on the rest of his life. A 6tory r comes from the east that Grant was forced, much against his will, to pay $1 rail road faro the other day. Ho had a pass which was exhibited, but it. did not cover tho extra drawing-room car charge, and tho conductor de manded $1, Butl am General Grant!" said tho Great American D. II, "Can't help it," said tho con ductor, "your pass Isn't good for this car." And the $1 had to bo paid. What a shame ! Conkling and Don Cameron ought to see that the amount Is refunded. Pjioso.
