It was further directed that they should be sent to tin Standard for publication, with the request that they be copied bn all Democratic journals In the state. Whereas, On the IGth day of Feb ruary, A. D. 18S5, the Senate and House ot Representatives of the Leg islative Assembly of the State of Oregon did pass in due form a con current resolution that the two Houses of the Legislative Assembly should adjourn sine die at 12 o'clock mid night on Friday, the 20 th day of February; and Whereas, On said Friday, the 20th day of February, the final joint session of the two Houses ot the Legislative Assembly met in the hall of the House of Representatives for the purpose of balloting for a United States Senator for the State of Ore gon, and passed a resolution tnat such Joint Conveniion should be dissolved at 11 o'clock -p. re., of said day; and Whereas, The Republican majority in said Joint Convention failed to elect a United States Senator prior to the hour Used for final dissolution, and Whereas, The President of said Joint Convention did at the said hour of 11 o'clock p. m., pronounce the said Joint Convention dissolved ; and Whereas, The Republican majority in the two Houses of ssid Legislative,' Assembly did afterwards introduce a resolution, at variance with the reg ular onler of business, and without suspension of the rules, and without precedent or parallel In parliament ary procedure, declaring the resolu tion theretofore adopted to adjourn sine die at 12 o'clock, midnight, of February 20th, rescinded, and pro- cared said rescinding resolution to be declared adopted without discussion by the presiding officers of both Houses; and Whereas, We affirm that said aetion on the part of the two Houses and their presiding officers is without precedent of authority, but was in tended to deprive the mioority of their constitutional and parliamentary rights; and Whereas, Having completed the consideration of legitimate business pending before the Legislative Assem bly, we do not recognise any author ity of the two Houses to sit longer in session of such Legislative Assembly, or any authority on the part o" the majorities in said Houses to require our attendance thereon; therefore, be It Resolved, That In the judgement of the Democratic members of the two Houses of the Thirteenth Biennial session of the Legislative Assembly of the state of Oregon, eucn session stood adjourned without day, at 12 o'clock midnight, of the 20th day of February, A. D., 1885; that we hold the proceedings of the majority in their efforts to force a continuation of the session to neve been, and to be, null and void; that we denounce the partisan methods adopted by them to carry their end; that we u&animiously agree that we will not re-enter the halls of our respective Houses of the Legislative Assemblv, except upon the call of the Governor of this State for an extra sessionjthat wewill legally resist any and all efforts which may be made to enforce our attendance upon future sittings of the pretended continuation of the present session; and that we will support each other in so doing. P. P. Peim, I. B. Cox. Secretary. Chairman. BLACK'S BILL. Mr. Black's bill providing that when a contract for the payment of money is entered into between individuals, they may agree as to which shall pay tbe taxes which may be levied upon the mortgage, note or other evidence of indebtedness, was amended in the sen ate so as to apply oniy to contracts when the rate of interest is 8 per cent or leas. The bouse concurred in tbe amendments and we suppose the gov ernor will approve tbo bill. The effect will be that when a mortgage is execut el drawing 8 per cent interest, the lenler will get 8 per cent clear, while the borrower will be required to pay in idition to tbe 8 per cent interest all the taxes which may be levied upon the mortgage under the mortgage tax law, bat if the rate of interest cf tbe mort- gtge is more than 8 per cent, no such ontract for tbe payment of taxes can bi made. The law applies to notes as well as mortgages. The Oregonian said last Saturday I hat the "rump" legislature which met last Saturday would either elect a sen ator without tbe aid of democrats who refused to attend or they would dispatch the sergeant-at-arms after the democrats and compel tiem to come in. When they met they did not have a quorum, and hence could not elect, and they were afraid to attempt the doubtful ex periment of Sending tbe ser-geant-at-arms after democrats. They seemed to hare learned that they were not a legal body, and that discretion was the better part of valor. There would have been lots of fun if the Bergeant-at-arms had attempted to compel the democrats to attend. It would have been a fail ure. Since the invention of telephones talk Si no longer cheap. THE LtXISLATl KE. This body which convened in Salem on the 12th day of January and con tinued in session for a period of forty days, adjourning at 12 o'clock Friday night, February 20tb, will go down in history under the maledictions of mote enraged and disappointed people than have thundered forth their discontent at any time in the history of the State. The maledictions of the capitalists and monopolists mil be heaped upon their friends in the legislature for failing to secure such legislation as had been promised before the legislature met. Of course these maledictions will be heaped upon the heads of those who thwarted all attempts to repeal the usury law and the mortgage tax law. But the loudest curses and maledictions are those heaped upon the Republican members of that bodv by the whole Republican party of the Stats for fail ing to eleet a United States Senator The Republicans had a majority of fourteen on joint ballot, a majority Buflicieotly large for any party that had the interest of the State at heart, to have elected a Senator without in terfering at all with legislative business. But instead of thus disposing of the senatorial question and giving the nioie heed to the weightier matters of legis lation in which the great body of the people have and feel a greater interest, the senatorial question was allowed to rest as an immovable incubus ujon the legislative body to the last expiring hours of the session, thus impeding good legislation and often proving a support to bad legislation ia that members were known to ptotmo support to bad legis lation in order to get votes for their favorite senatorial candidates. Mem bers were even heard to boast that they were glad that th senatorial question had Wen delayed, as it ena bled them to secure legislation that could not ha?e been had, if that ques tion bad been removed from the prov ince of speculation ucd traffic in votes. All this state of tiling' was brought about by the wraugltngs of the warring factions in the Republican partv. Tbe war between them was uwre bitter and unreasonable than all the battles be tween the great parties, and this fac tional contention was kept up to tbe last miau'.e and ended in one of tbe most disgraceful farces ever witnessed in any stats. Both Louies had passed a joint resolution that they would ad journ sin-: die 12 o'clock midnight Fri day. Balloting for Senator bad beguu early ia she sion, and one or mora ballots were taken each legislative day until Friday last when tho joint con vention of thd two bouses tuet at 12 o'clock m. to begin the balloting for Senator. They balloted until 1 1 o'clock when the joint 'convention adjourned without an election. What happened farther on will be ssen io an article entitled "Rump," in this issue. I 111 Nk ON TfllV Tbe late legislature at Salem was republican by a majority of fourteen on joint batlot. Ech branch wrs re publican. The governor, the secre tary, tne treasurer, thesupern'endent of public instraction, and all employes about the capitol are republicans. Tbe capitol building is, in a sense, re publican. Now, in view of the fact that it has loner been a continual boast of republicans that all tne mor allty, all the decency, all the temper ance, all the model personal and polit ical conduct of the day, are to be found in that party, while all the immorality, all indecency, all intemp erance and drunkenness, all vicious conduct are to be found in the demo cratic party ran any one hardly be lieve that under these circumstances that the capitol was turned into a regular drinking and feasting resort during the last twenty-four hours of tbe senatorial contest? And yet such was the case. Several committee rooms were filled to ovefl lowing with wine, champagac, and other drinka bles and eatables, and here moral re publican leaders resorted with their friends, and drinking and feasting were the order of the day. Here. Well-known republican ladies of high social standing were seen sipping the wine cup with hilarious glee. Stag gering about in a drunken condition was seen a republican leader, well known in this city and elsewhere, who was, and is now. so far as we knov, a prominent churchman. Now, suppose all these things had been differ ent. Suppose the legislature and state officials had been republican, and some democratic candidate for senator had filled the committee rooms with wine and champagne, and leading democrats with prominent democratic ladies had been seen tipping the flow ing bowl, what a shock it would have been to the republican party. How republican leaders and republican newspapers would have deplored the low state of morals of the democratic party. But here a great republican leader, (not Hirsch,) who was a can didate for tbe senatorship supplies the committee rooms with $1500 worth of eatables, wines, champagne and other beverages, and not a comment is heard from any republican paper. Kind reader, what do you think of it? There is again a prospect of a big European war. This means big prices for our wheat. Peace means low prices Knowing this, how many of our far mers will re echo the sentiment, "Let us have peace V THE Eli MP. The legislature on Tuesday of last week passed a joint or concurrent res olution to adjeurn last Friday night at 12 o'olock. On Friday at 12 o'clock, noon, the two houses met in joint con vention to ballot for senator, and the balloting was kept up until about 8 o'clock when a motion was made and oarried that the convention should ad journ at 1 1 o'clock. This was done in order to enable the house and senate to separately finish up some unfinished business before Snal adjournment at 12 i i 1 1 ' t ii . o ciock. Ynen ii o clock came no senator had been elected and resort was bad to a triok to enable republicans an ether chance to elect, Sj .when the joint convention adjourned and each house met separately to finish up un finished business, a resolution was intro duced in each house to rescind the joint resolution by which each house had agreed to adjourn on Fr day night. This resolution was declared carried in each house by viva voce vote, although the ayea and noes were vigorously de manded by all the democratic members present, and both houses adjourned to meet Saturday morning at 10 o'clock Democrats refused to recognize tbe vsl idity of this revolutionary proceeding, and not one appeared in either house on Saturday, Tbe republicans repaired to the house and Senate chamber at 10 o'clock but there was no quorum present, as it requires two thirds of each house to make a quorum. Kacb bouse ad j mrned to 11:45 o'clock when they again met without a quorum, although alt the democratic members were ia tbe city and might nava been brought in by tbe sergeanl-at-arms if tbo body bad been a legal one. Tbe two houses then met in ioint conventioa and took one ballot for senator but tbe vote was scattered, so one receiving more than to or tiiree votes. The convention fien took a recess until 4 o'clock p. m. , when they met again but several repub licans refused to have anything further to do with the "rump" affair. After considerable wrangling tbe convention voted to dissolve aud each house after b.-ing called to order attempted to ad journ nine die, Alt these meetings on Saturday ot tbe two houses and tbe joint convention wora the moat funer- a' -like appearanca and were regarded generally as farces of the most ridicu lous kind. As showing bow tbe whole proceeding was regarded we quote as follows from tne Sews, a strong repub lican piper : "The fiazle in tbe fleet of the joint rescinding resolution leaves little for tbe Kepubli ana to brag of. It would have been better to bava stepped out of Salem with a downright defeat which every one would understand, than to make a break for a rump parliament and "peter out" at last. The biggest clock in tbe world could not increase its value by striking thirteen when 1 o'clock came. There is a fitness io everything even io being whipped. Tbe whole Senatorial tangle and tbe resultant humiliation is the righteous entailment of the ill treatment Mitchell received at tbe band of his party two rears sgo, and it will be a wonder if the effect does not go on with cumula live force and turn the State over to the Democrats. The anti-Mitchell attempt to pit him in the attitude of tryiog to play into the bands of tbe Democrats finds its answer and refutation in the matter as it stands. It the State goes to the Democrats who is to be blamed t Not the friends of John H. Mitchell, surely, but those who performed, behind the scenes, in tbe great dog-in-the-manger act, by which means a Republi can Legislature tailed to elect a Sen ator." This would rupture any party and tbe republican party, and many people think it will result in turning over tbe State to the Democrats at tbe next state election. AS ISJl'ST ATTACK. A Portland paper noted for its local prejudices against anything,everything, and everybody that stands in the way of Portland's effort to rule the state, makes a meet unjust and vicious attack upon Senators Bilyeu, Weather ford, Dorris and Myers who stood up in the senate last Friday night and simply in sisted upon tbe senate's obeying tbe rules which it had adopted to govern it se?f. The republican senators wanted te rescind the joint resolution of ad journment and tbe president took tbe vote by viva voce votejwbilo the consti tution of the state requires all votes on joint resolutions to be taken by yeas and nays was clearly illegal and tbe senators above named were simply doing a public duty when they insisted tbat tbe senate must keep within the limits of coosti tutional requirements. Tbe course of these senators meets the commendation of their constituents, republicans and democrats alike. The republicans had been voting for a senator for five weeks, but in consequence of tbe bitter war fare going on all the time between the two factions of tbe party, it bscame utterly impossiblo for them to eleet and they alone are responsible for their fail ure to elect. They can complain of no one but themselves. The mercurial attack upon senators Bilyeu, Weather ford, Dorris and Myeis and others will meet with condemnation at the hands of all reasonable minds. I'KOIU Tho people of Linn county may justly feel proud of the course pur sued by their senators and representa tives in the legislature. Tbe industry and ability shown by them prove the good sense of the people In their selection. OORRBSPONDBN O B Browneyille. February 24th, 1885, Mack Barrigan passed through town and stopped over night Tuesday on bis way from Albany to tbe logging cam p. A. K.

Mrs. Mattie Bridge delivered her lecture on the "Origin and Necessity of Odd Fellowship' at the Oity Hall on Wednesday night to a full house. Mrs. Bridge is a very fair speaker, and, Ion v ing out of sight the fact that she is a little oranky on seme points, she makes a good impression on her hearers. The lecture was under the auspices ot Oslla pooia Lodge, No. 43, I. O. O. V , and after it was over the Fraternity, with their families, repaired to the lodge room, where they partook of a supper prepared by the ladies, and while your correspondent c in not speak from aotual observation, not being present on the occasion, (of the suppev I mean,) I feel safe in saying they bad a bountiful re past, for our ladies here in Brownsville never make a failure in that line when they once undertake it, and I am satis fied this was no exception to the gener al role. Also on Thursday night Mrs. Bridge delivered ber lecture on "Human Freedom" to a very fair audience, and those present ssy it was a much better lecture then tbe one delivered on tbe previous evening.
