The promptness with which the jury
in the tSuiteau case rendered their ver
dict of guilty ia verj gratifying to the
civilized world. That he will now be
hung after the usual taw's delay there
ia no question. There is ene joint
that convinced us of the sanity of
Gaiteau, which soemed to have been
lost sif ht ef through the declaration of
the President's physicians that the
wound Guiteau iafliotad was not mor
tal, x oia was stated over and over
again. What convinced ui that Qui
teau had a better knowledge of anato
my than the President's doctors was
his method of killing and the result.
The deliberation of the assassin; his
election of an opportunity; his knowl
edge of anatomy; the manner of the
killing, all convinced as of the sanity
of the murderer. He slipped up be
hind the President, knowing that he
would not be observed uatil he inflict
ed the mortal wound, and with a steady
aim directed his bullet at the vitals of
hia innocent victim. Gaiteau knew
if the ball took the range he gave it,
the President would die. It was the
first shot that killed the President.
The second shot, though qaickly made,
possessed nothing of the method and
certainty of the first. No insane man
si
eeuld have managed the details of ae
great a crime ia this mataer, and but
few sane men would have had the
nerve to raarder so inneeant a peraea.
Guiteau knew the Prsaident could not
live. The fatal ball had penetrated
the body of the vietim as it waa in
tended it should. Guiteau says the
L?rd directed him to kill the Presides;
that the Lord made the shot fatal; that
the Lord makes no mistake when he
kills a man. It waa not a wonnd only.
This was consistent with Guiteaa's
theory from the first, than the Presi
dent must die. It was so ordered.
Guiteau knew he waa committing
murder. And mo sooner than the
eminent physieians of the President
declared ever and over again that the
wound was net fatal, Guiteau seized
npoa it as proof that should the Presi
dent die, he would come to his death
by mal-practice. When that terrible
crisis came, it proved that Guiteau
knew mere of anatomy than the phy
sieians, whom he claimed had killed the
President by ignorance of their profes
ion. The port mor tem examinatiea
revealed the fact that Gaiteau made
no mistake in selecting the part et the
body of hia vietim on which to inflict
the deathly blew. How those eminent
physicians could have, been mistaken
in this case has been a great wonder.
Ia the history of criminal trials and
mirdsr scenes Gaiteau has not a
superior ia quickness of thought; in a
knowledge ef the ease; in the exercise
of a superior memory; and in brilliancy,
He knew that the shot be gave the
President was as fatal aa if it had
pierced the head of the honored victim.
There could not be muoh method and
accuracy in the plans of a mad or in
sane man. And so the jury found.

Congressman George having failed
to represent onr people by not carry
ing ont their wishes, as expressed by
the last Legislature in asking for an
appropriation of $200,000 for Yaquina
Bay, Son -.tor G rover came to the front
and Is now trying to act both as oar
Senator and Representative. On
last Monday ho introduced bills ap
propriating $o00,000 for the improve
ment of the mouth of the Columbia
river, $700,00 for coast rue tioa of a
canal and locks at the cascades of
the Columbia, and $200,000 for con
tinuing improvements at the entrance
ofglaquina Bay, Op. These bills,
at his request were temporarily laid
on Ce table in order to afford him
an opportunity to call them up and
submit some remarks on them be
fore their reference to the committee,
at an early day, We hear some
Republicans already speaking of
Grover's action as an electioneering
scheme. This is exceedingly small
in them, but will do no harm. II ia
the earnest prayer of at least nine
tenths of the people of our valley that
such electioneering schemes be play
ed upon them often, and Hod. M. C.
George will forever rue Tt twat he
did not take the same action which
Senator Grover did last Monday.
Some of our people hare had cob
Biddable fun this week in comparing
the Herald's editorial with the speech
made by the editor on the 2 1st. Mr
Porter's remarks at that time were
so severe on Mr. George that Van
Cleve couldn't stand it and on the
first opportunity arose and "hurled
the charges back in his teeth" to use
his own language. Why this craw
fishing, Mr. Po rtcr ?
Qubby If Mr. George acted wise
in only askiug for an appropriation of
$60,000 for Yaquina Bay for the rea
son that Gillespie reported that that
suae was all that conld be judiciously
expended, are the people of this sec
tion acting wisely in trying to get
him to amend his bill by raising the
amount to $300,000 ? Will the Her
ald and Register answer ?

In' preparing for the political cam
paign the Democratic party Las much
to do. There ate Tuany abuses that
should be corrected and laws that should
be remodelled. Care should be observed
in the selection of candidates, and when
nomiaated they ahould bo elected. The
times have developed such a powerful
agent in tho aggregation of capital for
so many purposes, that tho people must
have intelligent and incorruptible law
makers to proteet them, or they will be
come vaaaala. We must beliove that
there ia a hope loft that a Legislature
possosset a conscience. That it will
guard the interests o( its constituents,
and see to it that the pooplo whom it
represents shall enforce their tight te
an equal division of the benefit result
ing from tho harmonized action ef labor
and capital. Wo do not want laws to
oppress the agents of capital, but we do
want laws to convince them that capital
in their hand is to be used for the pro
nation of who happiness and prosperity
of those who cause its increase, w nen
man becomes a slave to wane, he is the
most abject of slaves. It is then the
oppressi re arm ef capital can exaet et
him his life's blood, and it is too
often given up. But when capital du
mands bat an honest and fair reward
for its nse, the capitalist, the produter,
and the wage class form a harmonious
en
whole in the trade and commerce ef
the country. The greed of man blinds
him, renee these upon whom he places
the hand of extortion must guard their
own interests by all the power they
ean uae. Their only place to go is to
the ballot-box, and in going there, bobs
but fair, honest and intelligent men
should be chosen to represent tHem.v

Ed. DemoortU :
Not having aeon anything from this
neighborhood for some time, I have
concluded to drop you a few notes.
The pelitioal pot is beginning to boil
protty freely, and oae would infer from
the way "Anti-Monopoly ' is beiog dis
cussed that it would bo necessary for
the Democrats and Republicans to put
their best stock on the track if they
don't want them hopelessly demoralised
and defeated, And it is a fact that if
tho people want their interests repre
tented, both in the next Logialature
and the U. 8. Senate, they must 'look
well to their legislative tiekets. The poo
pie are demanding to knew why a law
compelling themjto adopt a certain series
of text books (no matter bow obnox
ious) or forfeit their school money
without recourse, is all right, when a
fee bill, passed by the last Legislature,
is nnconstitutional. They also demand
that a law aimitar to that contemplated
by tbs late unfortunate Senate bill No.
82 be passed, regardless of fear or ia
ver.They also demand that onr assess
msnt law bo amend!, so that one
coanty wilt not have to pay twenty per
oent more State tax than another ea
the samo amount of property. They
also demand that railroad property be
assessed ia proportion with the farmers
land and peraenal effects. These are a
few of the thiaga the tax-payers of this
County at least are going te demand of
the next Legislature
And now this brings te my mind aa

the Business Council, but, as oae of its
delegates, I will oadertake to say that
the land ef Lino Coanty would not

Now, ia conclusion, I beg te say to

will not, he is altogether mistaken.

We would respectfully say that
from members of the society we have
aacertained that Kittie Althouse was
leader en the affirmative and Miss
Oeisendorfer on the negative. After
several hours of interesting debate,
which was participated in by all mem

the laurels, making forty points to tho

I attended a public installation of
officers at the hsll of Tangent Orange
to-day. The oeremeaies were wsll
conducted by R. A. Irvine, sssistod by
If. Scott and Mrs. J, W. Bbideler.
Attheolese Mr. Irvine declared the
oHicers duly installed for the ensuing
year, and John Imper then deolaroa a
reoess of ons hour. Ths ladiss retired
to ths hall below for the purpose of
getting dinner, which they did is a
short time, and then a general invita
tion was given to all to partake of the
repast. The invitation was accepted,
and 1 am satisfied that I never have
seen a crowd enjoy themselves as ther
did. At half past one o'olook Mr.
Luper called the house to order, and
read the following program: Declara
tion of Purposes, by lira, Mat Scott;
Addresses, by It. A. Irvine, A. B.Morris,
F. M. Riser, W. P. Anderson, Mst
Scott, David Smith and Mr. Thorp.
As I am aa out-stder, I paid olose
attention so as to learn as much as
possible about tho Orange.
Mrs. M. Scott read ths deolaratien
ef purposes with frost credit to her
self: H. A. Irvine being next called
for came to ths stand at once and,
without making any apology proceed
ed. Ho showed that ths Lew islstore of
Oregon attempted to pass a law regula

Ik st there was a meeting in Albany ia
1870 for tho purpose of build tug throe
steamboats, and that the meeting was
represented by some very wealthy men
from Linn, Marion, Benton aad Lane
oounties, and thai the company made
a a eo m promise with the O. S. N
company to reduce freight, from Albsny
to Portland te 9 ess per bushel, instead
ef 1 1 ate; also that the farmers of Lian
County had saved that yesr 72,00
by said compromise. This satisfied
me that tho Orange bad done good
work for the entire oommnnity. 1I
then abewed how by co-operating to
Esther the Linn esaatv Council had
reduced the price of farming imple
mente a treat deal. He also as id that
st ons tims the Orange had made nr
rangements to trade at Portland, but
he was in- favor of patreaixing the
merchants ia this eeusty, im order to
build up one own towns instead of
Portland. He spoko on other matters
of importance to tho Orange, aayiag
that he belief d every farmer in Linn
eenaiy would join tho Orange, if they
understood the object ef the order, snd
I agree with him. I have heard e
great many speeches and by mere able
tea, bat 1 confess that I sever have

Bbownhvim.e, Jan. 31st, 1882.
I promised you some time ago that I
would giro yt-.u a short sketch of tho
doings of Hrowttsville. I now proceed
to the discharge of that duty. I will
first give you a few local items before
entering upon the jolittcsl outlook.
Our plessant little city is in s flour
ishing condition. Our city oflicers are
very vigilant in the discharge of tbeir
duty, especially the Recorder and Mar
shal. The other nteniag it was re
portid that an Indian was drunk en
the streets, and that ISIS ono was
selling him whisky, so the Msrshal
arrested and lodged him in jail. The
aext morning he was brought tefore
Recorder Irvino and fined $20 and
est. Mr. Bel. Warntr came to the
front and paid the Aa and costs (36,70
be (Warner) boin thu man who sold
him tho whisky.
There is considerable t wn gossip
about it certain younff man of
about thirty summers living with
another man's wife. Homo suggest
lynch law; others riding on a rail, while
the more considerate are in faror of
beadys Cede takiag its course.
Thero is codsiderable grumbling
aboat our post oflioe. Tbo postmsster
livca in tho country, ao be has to close
up early in the evening, and docs not
got in until late in tho morning, aad
is never en band on Muadays. There
is no grumbling whan he is in the
office, but beesoo be ic ou t too much
of the time. It was considerable bettsr
under Democratic administration.
Frank Jack keeps a good livery and
feed stable.
J. II. Irvine, preprietor of the
Brownsville hotel, keeps a 13 1 at clasa
house. S say those that atop with
him.
Dr's tStarr and Bat ki r seem to have
good suc?esbMth the sick and alHtcted.
Tbo rna trnsfot his arm broken
some time ego isTlill at the Browns
ville Hotel, aad ia doing very well,
but it will be some time before he will
be able to work.
Oar merchants all seem tote in a
flourishing condition.

J. A. Crawford and lion. Jason

day or twe ago looking after tbe Isanti

A few evenings ago, near tbo hour
of midnight, when nature slumbers aad
repose is sought by tbe weary enes, a
melodious strain of sweet music was
borne npoa tbe air and tho beary eye
lids gave place to the cbarms of the vo
calist tbat paid tbeir respects to quite
a number of our leading citizens. Tbe
different parts ef eboics ssreitvl were
sung in tbe most bsppy taanner. It
was liks waking from a delightful
dream, only again to nnd that one is
still surrounded by the common things
ef life. Success and happiness te Ike
singers for their midnight pleasure.
Laat night waa tbe last mooting of
tbe old council for tbe transaction of
business. They sll stop down snd oat.
Their plaees will bo tilled By new men
entirely. The retiring otneers carry
with them tbs best wishes sf the citi

of them will again bo called upon to
look after tko tadfttests ef the town.
Judge S. A. Johns aad family ex
pect ia a day or two te take their de
parture from Lebanon and go to Westen
aad there make their future home. A
little more than a year ago the J edge
ssttled with us. Though many of the
people were slightly acquainted with
him in an official capacity before, yet
few knew him personally. On his com
ing here bo and F. M. Miller formod a
partnership in the practice of law,
hioh was only dissolved by his seeking
a new field of operations. 1'be Jadge
as a lawyer was brief, peir.tc.1 and di
rect, his knowledge ef law was exten
sive aad rarely failed of being cerrcck,
this made him a sfe counsellor. In
pleading he aimed at conciseness and
yet the cause was suQisiently stated to
present the true issue. As a man and
oitizen he was honest aad law-abiding.
Ho and his family carry with them te
tbeir new heme tho kiedast wishes of
thoir many friends and neighbors.
Mr. J. Settle sold his farm of fifty
acres, lying within this corporation, to
C. T. Moist, the price paid being $2000.
Mr. Moist got a good bargain, and will
in time make a pleasant home.
The number of money orders issued
for January was 126. They aggregated
the amount of $3000.
Some ckieken thieves a few nights
ago paid their respects to tbe hen roest
ef eur good friend Wm. M. Smith.
They managed te get away with seme
6 dozen of his best chickens. "God ea
