FRIDAY ...JANUARY 28, 1SS1.
A CIGASTH' MMMIUtmii
For many years tit olJ Western
Union Telegraph Company hjJ a com
plete monopoly of the telegraph busi
nets in the United States, and tho div
idends declared to stock holders wire
enormous. A few years g0 two new
companies the American Union and
tho Atlantic and Pacific were organ
ized and gave tho Western Cnion a
lively opposition. The consequence was
cutting dawn of rates, anil audita I
fighting until tho foro part of the pres
ent month, when the companies were
all consolidated. It is understood the
combination was effected on tho basis
ef 80,000,000, the capital of tho for
mer company, of which tho Western
Union is to havo $58,000,000 ; the
American Union $15,000,000, and the
A frantic and Pacific $7,000,000. Tho
resent capital of the "Western I'nion
ih about $41,000,000 ;0T the American
Union, $15,000,000, and of the Allan
tic and Pacific, $14,000,000. Thus the
Western Union gets a scrip dividend
of 40 per cent., American Cnion gees
in at par, and Atlautie and Pacific is
put in at 50. It is undeniable that
this movement has been engineered
throughout by Jay Gould, who holds
vastly preponderating ccntiol ef the en
tire telegraph system of the country.
This movement, in which he has check
mated his opponents, completely, it is
estimated, will run his profits op into
the millions. The present movement
in telegraph stock was lgun in the
later part of Nevembei by Vanderbilt,
who ran stock up from par to V', to
enable him to unload, which he did at
way down to 90, as he saw the prepa
rations the rival line was making tor
severe and protracted competition.
From 90 the stock was carried down to
13 per cent, by Gould's shori. sales.
The speenlative movement lay dormant
for a few davs, but assumed aciivitv bv
the sale of one block ef 20,000 snares
at 784, teller sixty days, and another
of 10,000 en similar option at 78. The
street was mystified as to the pnrp rt
of the transactions, but speculators gen
erally were induced to put in heavy
lines of shorts. From this point th
stock began to advance, and immense
transactions were the order of the day.
There is little doubt hut that Gould
and Yandarbilt hare been acting in
concert in this buying increment, al
though it is believed Gould is by far
the largest haver, as he appears to have
dictated the settlement.
.EO. Q. A V E9n(t.
Hon. Geo. Q. Cannon, who has for
niany years been Delegate to Congress
from Utah, and who was re-elected at
the last general election, has Wen givc-n
the grand bounce by Gov. Murray, who
not only refuses to give the muchly
married Cannon his certificate of elec
tion, but issues that document to bis
opponent. Gov. Murray puras up the
matter by saying that "Gannon i3i.u- a
citizen and is ineligible to any oilice.
His parents, are foroign to this country,
and he has never been :sattxralized a3 a
citizen of the United States. There is
no court record of his naturalization,
consequently I could cot give him the
ceitificate. Added to this was the ag
gravstion of his being a Mormon nolyg
amist, which makes him a felon and
criminal against the laws of the nation.
I don't see how I could bave done oth
erwise. I wish it distinctly under
stood, however, that there is not the
slightest bit of politics in the matter.
It is not a political question ,but simply
a question af right or wrong.
rori LATie.v or tme cjited stats.
On the 17th inst. Gen. Walker Kent
to the House the complete census re
turns of the whole country. The cen
sus of the States jghows a population of
49,369, 593, and Territories 783,271,
making a grand total of 50,152,866.
Gen Walker furnishes eflicial figures of
the population of the following States :
Colorado, 194,649; Florida, 266,566 ;
Louisiana, 940,263 ; Kentucky, 1,648,

SKTTLEB AT LAST.
The Legislature of the State of Maine
is now in session, and during the past
week they inspected the election re
turns and declared the Democratic n.-.(
Greenback candidate, Gen. Plais'ed,
duly elected Governor of that State.
This sattles that vexed question which
was debated so hotly bv newspapers
during the late canvass. Republican
bull-dozing has not panned out very
well in the old Piae Tree State.
BETIUI.K. AKHr OFFICES..
Last Saturday the President directed
that the following officers be placed on
the retired list : Brigadier General
"W. M. Dunn, judge advocate general ;
General Stewart Van Vleet, adjutant
quartet master general ; Lieutenant Col
onel Samuel Woods, deputy paymaster
general, and Major Joseph H. Katon,
paymaster.
The House Committee, to whom ws
referred the bill placing Gen. Grant on
the retired list, with the rank and pay
of General, report it back with the rec
o.uaendatian that it do net pass. Ver
ily, Grant is a modest man to allow his
friends to aak so much far him.

of the Oregouian Railway Company re
solve! to rebuild entirely new bridges.
Tho two bids of A. B, Miller fc Son,
and the Pacific Bridge Company were
opened iu tho Railway Go. 'a ol'.ice, and
tho contiact was awarded to tho Pacific
Bridge Gompany, of San FrnncUoO
boinc the lowest offers for two cotubi
nation iron and wood bridges with two
pans of 150 feet ; making each bridge
300 feet long, instead of 200 feet an
formerly. This class of railrea 1 bridge
has not yet been adopted in this State
to any extent. It is much superior to
and stronger than the old Howe Truss
railroad wooden bridge, It is a combi
nation of UTOD and wood, so OOnstrOOted
that all the tension members are of
wrought ii n, and all tha compression
members arc of wood. Tho patentees,
who s re the Pacific Bridge Gompany,
guarantee that in durability it will last
double the tisSS cf an ordinary railroad
Imm briiJe. and is simple and eav of

adjustment, enabling any portion to be
removed while trains are running over
it, preventing a stoppage ef ttatliic ;
when any accident abould happen and
when fire takes place to the bridge, pre
serves the structure from falling. In
California and Mexico a very large
number of these ii:i and. wood bridges
are iu use cf the railroads of these conn
tries. There is onla 006 I !:cr bridgoof
the ammo clasn in Oregon over the
Kickreal river of the narrow gauge rail
road company's line at I .:!!.-, built in
June, 1880, and which has given the
company great satisfaction. Between
the north and south Santiam rivers the
greatest injury bus beOB sustained to
the road, four miles of which was dis
placed. Between the .south Santiam
and Brownsville only 50 fool of em
bankment at Oak crrek was dipl u -d,
and a small jiece of the cut at Ward's
Butte gave wav. Excepting the loan
of tho two bridges on the north San'.;
am the company has sustained much
less damage thau they expected. With
in bixtv days regular trains wili be
running direct from KVs landing to
Brownsville, us formerly, by which

there was no embankment. The en

book. Tuo ciin were stopped very
quickly, hut the forward cur were
turned over and over two or three
times, some going on one ride of the
track and some on the other. The en
gineer and fireman escaped unhurt. The
postal car contained four clerks. This
car almost instantly took fire and burn

ploding and adding to the fire from the
stove. Every man in the car was
roasted to a cri.q). The remains of one,
who weighed aver 200, were gathered
up and put iu a small box. In the ex
press car was Messenger Henry C.
l)rewer,'of Klmira. EfTertu wsre made
to relieve him, and a hole was eat in

his head out, but his legs were fastened
by a piled up bih-s of express matter.
Tho train men tiied to ptd) him out,
but the flames drove them away. They
saw his hair and whiskers bum oJF, and
then he put his hand up to hin eyes
and fid I back into the flames. Eivo
men in all were burned. No passen

We regret that an ably written arti

And as the Board will hold its ad
