OFFIUK-In the Flinn block . Means Business. The new receiver is u business man. A CorvallU dispatch says he has stated that he Intended doing everything possible to put the road on a paying basis. Questioned tf he couldjdo it, he said, emphatically : "I can and will do it in a short time. 1 have already re duced the operating expenses several thousand dollars per month, and expect to Increase the business by a thorough and business like working of the road's terri tory." He admitted that the expenses br the old receiver in court had been $13,000 during the receivership. William M Hoag, on a salary of $5000 per year, as general manager, and WallU Nash, on $3000, had been relieved. He stated further that he was then In no one's individual interest. but to do the best tor all concerned ; that he represented neither Mr Hoag nsr Mr Blair, but both and all. In a short time he would be able to pay three, four and perhaps hve months wages to empleve. Mr Hadley left for San Francisco last r ight, aud expects to make entirely new arrangements for the transaction of bus! ness at that point. General satisfaction Is expressed all along the line with the new receiver. C H Gest, of Seattle, has been retained as counsel for the receiver. Superintendent Mulcahy was appointed general superintendent, in charge of the river, rail and ocean divisions. Receiver Hadley and General Superin tendent Mulcahy, of the Oregon Padfi:. arrived in Albany laat night by special train just in time lor the overland, which they boarded for San Francisco. Wm M Hoag, ex-manager, arrived in the city bv carriage, being entirely independent of specials and too the same train for the same place. As he had two trunks he evidently Intends to make a more extended stay than usual.

HI voice was a little rusty, but he was heard patiently to the end, and when Sheriff Osborn re quested nlm to ait down he politely tolj the sheriff to mind his' own business, that h would sit down when he got ready. His demurrer 10 the sheriff's complaint wa sustained by the court and the matter remained in statuo quo until court ad journed a few minutes laier. Subsequent ly Beman overhauled Wm Hoag at the foot of the back stairs in the court house and chased him up the flight, and just as the pair were about to enter the court room at full speed Sheriff Osborn ap peared on the scene and filed another demurrer, which in the absence of the court sustained and dismissed Bemen case.

A Japanese P afek . Mr Charles Sears has just received a paper from Japan,dated January 28th, which gives a short account of some of the experiences ef Frank Ltm, the bicyclist,ln Albany last fall.on his way around the world. According to It he was making slow progress; but was having as much experience as he had bargained for. For twelve days he had been obliged to walk through snow and mud, with Coolies he had hired, carrying his bicycle. At one time on his refusal to ride on some snow they recured some stones and stoned him. At another time he was obliged to fire hi revolver In the air to keep some vicious Cot -lie off. The young man was jetting disceuraged. It will take nerve for him to complete the circuit of the world . A Liv Cost est.

Fortunately, the pre dicted tornado is not of the disastrous kind, but on the contrary, it is of tbe most wholesome sort, as the storm puri fies the atmosphere, clears away any style of "blues" and enlivens all human nature especial I v persons on the interior of the opera house, between the hours of 7:90 and 10 o'clock on that evening.

"The supreme court to day decided against the United Slates In its suit against the California & Oregon Land Company, to set aside and declare void the title of the land company to tracts In (recon purchased by the comp any from persons acquiring title from grantee under what are known as the wagon-road land grants under act of congress, and the decUion of the tower court is affirmed." This settle the con test, which has been la the courts for severe' veer. This include the Wil lamette Valley and Cascade wagon read. It will be remembered that some Eastern capitalists purchased land a year or more ago, and have been waiting to eure a title 10 the same, and they will doubtless proceed at once to carry out their pain. that of bringing settlers 00 the land. Fins Tomer Lajtd W L Clark and Wesley Downs, accompaaied by some other young gentlemen, arrived at this place about a month age from Michigan tn search of Umber land. After looking over the country thoroughly they. through J L Berry, locator of public lands, secured excellent claims about two miles from this place- In company with Mr Berry and H W Smith they went over the claims laat week. An average acre on Mr Clark's claim was paces! off and the trees counted, with a remit of forty-six stately firs, 100 to 280 feet to the first limb. Besides this it was estimated that the acre contained at least fifty larch and hejalock. Mr Berry expressed the opinion that the claim would scale 20.- 000,000 feet and Mr Clark aavs 10.000 would not touch it. Santiam Lumber man.

A Bio Tax. The state board has placed the state tax levy entire at 667 70 mMls, almost seven mills, an immense tax due to the recent fiasco by the Sute legis lature.

Editors Democrat: Will you kindly explain to me what tbe Oregoman means by "Jeffersonian princi ples?" I see that paper says that Jefferson was a "disunionist. This is new to ran. I would like to know about it. I have always been taught to believe that Jefferson was a great patriot. Yol su Democrat. If "Young Democrat" will read the Oregonian a few months be will learn that that paper is not expected to tell the truth about Jefferson ; that it editor does not manifest a single symptom of a disposition to do justice to Jefferson's ability and patriotism. He will find tbat the spirit that induce the editor of that paper to defame tbe good name of the author of the Declaration of Independence is exactly of a kind with that spirit that rules supreme in the habitation of hi Satanic Majesty him elf. If "Young Democrat'' desire to know something of tbe remarkabie ability disin terested patriotism and faitbfulnea to both state and national government displayed by Jefferson, let him carefully read and digest tbe following extract from Jefferson's first inaugural address ia which with great vigor of expression ho sets forth the "essen tial principles" underlying the organism of both state and national government. nM are tbe burning words of the immor tal Jefferson: Equal and exact justice to all men, of wh never state or persuasion, religious or political; peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliance with none; the support of the state government, in ail their rights, as the most competent administrations for our domestic concerns, and the sorest bulwark against anti republican tendencies; the preservation of the general government in its whole constitutional vigor, as the sheet anchor of our peace at home and safety abroad; a jealous care of tbe right of elec tion by tbe people, a mild and safe correc tive of abuses, which are topped by the sword of revolution, where peaceable remedies are unprovided; absolute acquies cence in tbe decisions of tbe majority, the vital principle of republics, from which there is no appeal bnfto force, the vital principle ana immediate parent of despot ism; a well disciplined militia, oar best reliance in peace, and for the first momenta of war, tali regulars may relieve them: tbe supremacy ef the aril over tbe military authority: economy in public expense, that labor may be tightly burdened; tbe honest payment of oar debts, and sacred preser vation of the public faith; encouragement of agriculture, and of commerce as its handmaid; the diffusion of information, and arraignment of ail abuse at the bar of public reason, freedom ot religion, freedom of tbe press, and freedom of ;:n.:er tbe protection cf the AasVetu cevjhu; and trial by juries impartially selected. These principle from tbe bright constellation which ha gone before as, and guided our tap through an age of revolution and reformation. Such are the views of a man concerning the "essential principle' of our government whom the Oregosnoa with demoniac au dacity call a disunionist. In no man since the days of 1776 te tbe present time has there been a fuller inspiration of feelings of devotion to the cause of constitutional government than in .'efferson. The Ore fomtm is a devotee to ihe cause of Hamil ton. Hamilton was an aristocrat. He was opposed to a popular government. He sought to estibliah a strong centralised government tn; which tbe few were to con trol and the many were to have no voice ia tbe malting of the laws by which they ware to be governed. Jeffersonian principles were the exact opposite cf Ilamiltonianiam. Hamilton wanted a government after the model of Great Britain. Jefferson labored to establish a general government based upon such power aa were delegated by tbe constitution, reserving all other powers of government to tbe states or to the people thereof. Every man at ail acquainted with tbe course of the Ortgmitm knows tbat it has no sympathy in common with tbe mass es of the people. It is in sympathy with tracts, combines, railroad corporations and others made strong by wealth, and hence, when a protest goes up from among the nmrnm people against the exactions and esreroachnaeat of these trust and combines. tbe OfrgomJam at once intervenes and de nounce the protester as cranks and anar chists. This truth is notorious- Tbe Democrat can assure "Young Democrat" that the lemns be learned of the patriotism and devotion of Jefferson are the lesson of the history of the country. It begins to look ss if the Odd Fellows would be placed under tbe ban, so far as the Catholics are concerned, as now lies against be Mssons. Archbishop Kratzer has writ ten 10 Grand Secretary Hoc of Grand Lodge ot Odd Fellow la this state, asking that a copy ef the ritnal of the order and other official books be sent to him for eaamlaa lion. Thla request Is made in accordance wi'b a decision reached at a meeting ol Archbishops in New York some time ago. At that tim a committee, consisting of Archbishop Cor- igan, Kiordan, Ireland, Kyan aad Kratzer, was appointed to la vest (gate the different societies and prepare Individual reports for submission lo Rome which would decide whether any society was forbidden or not. Aachbiabop Kralxer believe mat the or der of Odd Fellows is a forbidden society Stilt he desires, he says, to make a fair re port. Grand Secretary Hoe says tbe request will be referred to the grand lodge when it meet.

Some time ago, when the power of the secretary of iSc treasury to use aa part ot the $ix,ooo,oeo gold reserve was under consideration, Solicitor-General Aldrich was Instructed by the attorney-general to look up the matter. Aldrlch's opinion in brief is "First, the secretary of 'he treasury has continuing power to Issue bonds to redeem legalMenders of 1862 snd 1863 sad reissued under tbe act of May 31, 1S78, but I am of the opinion it is not at all necessary. Sec ond, there is no requirement for the re demptlon of the legal tender to be made goll. A to the policy of using silver, I am not prepared to urge this action. It might csuse a panic, but it could undoubtedly be done. Third, the secretary of the treasury has no power to issae boads redeemable la either gold or silver. The law stipulates they shall be redeemed la coin, which means either gold or silver now, and did so mean at the time of the passage of the law," Tnit opinion, while asked and prepared, waa not delivered owing to the fact that the occasion did not demand it. Aldrich saytt "The belief that there is no positive provision of law requiring the tloo, 000,000 reserve shall be kept I, in my opinion, correct. It is also true under the law, as 1 understand it, that all legal tender notes may be redeemed In coin. This was the case at taa period Axed for the resumption of specie payments, to wlt, January, 1879, under the law of 1875.' rut up in neat watenehaiMd bottles. coated, Small bUss Mans, THE BATri.KSHIP OttfcMON.

The minimum speed to be maintained for four consecative hoars is to be not less than fifteen knots. Tbe bull is to be of steel, not sheathed. Her framing will be on the bracket system, and she will have a double bottom extend ing from armor shelf to armor shelf, and forward and aft Tbe armor on her aides, for protecting tbe water line, will have maximum thickness of net less than eigh teen inches, with a mean depth of seven feet and the trans vet se armor at tbe end of the belt-tine will not be leas than seven teen inches thick. The sides, from armor- belt to main deck, will be protected by not less than fire inches of steel armor. Coal s to be carried back of this casemate. An armored deck, not less than three inches in thickness, will extend forward and aft from the ends of the armor belt, taring carved down on each side to meet the side of the ship below tbe water-line. Over tbe side armor belt this steel deck will be not less than two and three -quarters inches in thickness. The Oregon will have an ap proved water excluding material equal to woodite or cellulose, which will be fitted along the side, forward and aft, on the lope of the three inch protective deck. She will be supplied with powerful guns. aggregating in all tlx hundred and thirty- one ton. They will include four 13-inch breech -loading rifles, weighing sixty tons 1, with their mounts, shield, and equipments; four 8-inch breech-loading rifles; four 6-inch breech-loading rifles; sixteen 6-pocnder rapid-firing guns; 6 one- poander rapid Snng guru-; ani two 'rat ling, with all necessary mounts and shields therefor.

Her electric light plant will consist of three units, each unit having an engine, dynamcvaad combina tion bed-plate. Tbe weight of all fittings and stores o tbe installation, including search light will not exceed a total of thirty tons- One point of difference between this battle-ship and tbe cruisers which we have been building is highly significant. It is tbat relating to tbe maximum speed re quired, and tbe coal endurance planned. In tbe cruisers, hi 7b. speed and as great coal endnranse as possible were sought -. but both these point are of secondary import ance in tbe case of tbe battle soip.
