OFFICIAL PAPER For tne Counties of B a k e r and G ra n t. T h e R e s u lt a t E ast. Enough is known to convince us that the Democratic Judges of the Election in Umatilla County have counted in every State candidate Grover wished them to elect. As Voters cast their ballots Williams was elected to Congress and Clark as Treasurer, but since the close of the polls the manipulators of the ballots — Judges they are called—have coun ted them both out, and given the election to La Dow and Brown.— Had it required one thousand votes to do it, the count would have been made, but as it required only two or three hundred Umatilla readily fixed the thin a; just to meet the emergen cy. They allowed Professor Bow- land, Republican, to be elected, as the people had voted, but only for the reason that they dared not count Dawne in on account of his charac ter, as recently exposed. That W il liams and Clark were honestly elect ed by the ballots as they were cast on the day of election we have no more doubt than that the sun shines; and that they were both fraudulent ly counted ont in Umatilla we are as confident as we can be of any fact Vre have not actually witnessed. The people haya been outrageously cheated. "We clip the above from the Port land Bulletin of June 9th~ The ar ticle is about on a par, for truth and veracity, with a majority of the edi .torials which have appeared in that delectable sheet since the return, from Washington, of the political harlot who controls its editorial col umns. In the artiole above he accu ses the citizens of Umatilla county •of being guilty of fraud, forgery and perjury. The contemptible, politi c a l harlot thinks because he is cor rupt enough to commit the crime he •charges upon others that the citizens 'of Umatilla county have done as he 'would have done. The citizens of Umatilla county are an honest, in- •dustrious and enterprising people, wnd scorn a mean and dirty action, ■and are not in the habit of selling •themselves and their principles to ■any and every political charlatan 'that comes along, as does the scalla- ■wag who pretends to control the Bul letin. W7e have heard it intimated an times past in California, that bal lot boxes were not safe where the Little Kanaka could get at them.— H e is a beautiful specimen to prate -about honesty. Where he has been ‘best known heretofore he is not ac cused of being honest. He appears 'to dislike the citizens; of Eastern Oregon, and upon all occasions pos sible is villifying and abusing them. W e do not know why this is unless it is because they know him too well to allow themselves to laud and be led by the pigmy of the Bulletin.— His paper has but very little circu lation in this portion of the State, therefore we copy the article above as a whole, so that our citizens may see the williul and malicious charges he hatches against our neighbors. -------------- e ------------*—— Mr. Vice President Wilson has been charged with indicating to Grant the proper way of making up his Cabinet. This, however, Mr. "Wilson denies, hut he does not dis guise the fact that he has said can didly to General (/rant ‘ ‘that as the ",Republican party has no great living principal to contend for now, and no great war to wage for the salvation of the country, and the establish ment of that principle, during which the popular mind looked over maDy Jess important things, it was evident that the administration of affairs and the discharge of official duty would be looked into more exactly and scrntunizingly now, and hence it became the party too see to it that any errors or political evils in the past should be promptly and effect ually corrected.” Hon.

The cnly question we were in the habit of hit aring asked regarding candidates were, Is he honest? Is he competent? Is lie well qualified for the position?— These questions were asked and pass ed upon by the Conventions and if in the affirmative, and the candidate received the nomination, he was en titled to expect the hearty support of all members of his party. But what is the condition of things here? In the first place persons are allowed to take a very active part in running primaries and “ setting up” Conventions, who are well known to have always worked against the par ty to which they professed to belong — merely to enable them to cause its defeat. There seems to be no law or party rule adop.ed to exclude tluse Judas Iscariots. Any quack politi cian who has a small amount of principle, no self respect, and an un limited amount of cheea and impu dence, can take a hand in determin ing the action of a Convention, and after it has been done, quietly pro cure the nomination for some desir ed position and run on the opposite ticket. Talk about the great great princi ples of the Democratic or Republi can parties in connection with such magpies on the body politic as these? Thdy have no more principle than a Hottentot. And yet with that one qualification, cheek, they accom plish more among the illiterate class at the polls than men like Clay, Cal houn or Webster could have done in a six montus speech. Then again party organizations can make no laws to prevent annual of fice seekers from putting in an ap pearance at every Convention. It makes no difference how often the people quietly aud in as mild a man ner as possible suggested to them that their acknowledged but peculi ar ability is not appreciated,they are sure to be found prior to Conven tions as busy as ever in button hol ing and pressing upon their neigh bors their mansy qualifications, and the moment they fail to receive the nomination they at once fall in with and work for the other side, and do all in their power against the party (aud the nominees of the party) for which they were so anxious to be placed in position. It has always been expected by po litical parties that after a full set of candidates had been selected by a Convention from among the many names proposed, that the candidates would all heartily support the entire ticket, l e t we have ample authori ty for saying that some of the cand idates on the Democratic ticket wor ked constantly and did ail in their power against some of tne nominees of the party on that same ticket. It seems hardly credible that men running for the humblest positions almost that the people had to bestow, the very crumbs from the political table, such as Assessor and {School Superintendent, would refuse to support the nominees of the Conven tion that placed their obseqre names on the ticket; yet such things do oc cur in Grande Ronde valley. But now the question present it self in an important light in this re spect; when the masses of the peo ple pay no more attention to the ac tions of Conventions of men that they selected to make nominations for them, what is the use of holding Conventions? Suppose the mass of thepeople pay K i c k e d O u t . --Banfield, Solicitor of the Treasury, took a hint and quit. Richardson did not want to be impeached, but went out reluct antly with a growl, and not till he was promised a life estate in the Court of Claims. But Sawyer, the Assistant Secretary, held on to the last ditch and waited to be kicked but. Our dispatches will explain this language. The new Secretary gave him to understand that one or the other must vacate, and as the resignation of Bristow is not to be thought of, Sawyer had to walk the plank. He is the last of the Sanborn treasury ring at Washington. There are some in tn e Custom-houses and Internal Revenue Deportineut who ought to be similarly dealt with. C lR C U J L iA r . Office of Register of State Lands, L a G ran de , Or., June 8. 1871. By reference to the law approved October 2(ith, 1868, page 21 See. 8, you will please note its require ments. S e c . 8 . "Whenever only a part of the purchase money is paid, the ap plicant before he shall be entitled to the deed mentioned in Sec. 7 sliali execute and deliver to .the Register a mortgage for the balance of said purchase money, conditioned for the payment of the same in two annual payments, with interest at the rate of ten per cent per annum, said in ter st payable semi-annually in ad vance. Sec. 9. Upon failure -to make pay ment of principal and interest accor ding to the terms of said mortgage, the purchaser shall forfeit all right, title and interest to the lands so pur- chased, and the forfeiture shall be advertised in some newspaper pub lished in the district to i e désigna ted by the Register, and said land shall be ad vertised for sale as other State Lands. At the session of 1872, Sec. 8. was amended so as to read as follows; Provided That when said interest is paid promptly the Register shall not enforce the collection of the note upon which said mortgage ia based. Sec. 9. was.,also amended at said session as follows: Upon failure to make payment of principal and interest according to the terms of said mortgage the land mortgaged shall revert to the State charged only with the amount of the principal sum paid thereon, and the costs of forecloseiire. This is the law as it exists. The people have never become acquain ted with its harsh and iron terms.— Although the amendments to Sec. 9 says the land shall revert to th* Slate, and Sec. 8 says “ the forfeit ure shall be advertised,”; I have strenuously and persistently refused to advertise such forfeitures; and at the last session of the L gisiature, not desiring a resolution of censure passed charging me with non-com pile nee with the law, I went to . Sa lem at my own expense to endeavor to avert such a measure. To day the financial situation < f the people of this land and district is in reality worse than it was two years ago,— and so is mine. My circumstances are not such as to warrant me in making a trip at my own expense for the ben efit of the people. I have stood be tweeu the people of this Laud D is trict and the law for two years and a half, aud have guarded and shielded them from its effects; for no censure for delinquency in the payment- of interest could reach them; the only question, that could be asked would be, Why does the Register not per form his duty?

T he P resent P rospects .— The Dalles Mountaineer says: “ Now that the excitement incident to a great State and County election is about over with, we have more leis ure to turn our attention to matters and things that directly concerns onr own particular section of the State. In making a survey of our cattle, wool, grain and fruit inter esta, we find that the present pros- pects for large crops are very good, and never were better. While the price of cattle at pres- ent is considered low. bet f cattle, in good condition, command from $20 to $25 for three year olds. This we claim is an excellent price, when it is considered that the cost of raising a three year eld beef steer in this conntv amounts to between $3 and $4- Wool raising is now' rapidly be coming the most popular of all the great producing interests of this portion of our State. It is expected that over two hundred thousand pounds of wool will be purchased and shipped from this place the pres ent season, not counting rhat from Grant county, which will bring and distribute among the wool producers of this county over $40,000 in gold coin. W e deem this a large amount when W’e consider that the wool bus iness in this county is now only in its infancy. The hay an 1 grain crops are doing well. It is expected that we will have sufficient for home consump tion and considerable to spare. The fruit crop this year promises to be far superior in quantity and quality than ever before. Applies, peaches, plums, pears and grapes are going to be in abundance, and we should not be surprise I if from fifteen to twenty thousand dollars should be realized from this particu lar interest. A new era is about to open upon us in the way of cheap transporta tion between this city and Portland, and although it may be in a small way, yet it will be a starter, and if it succeeds, which we earnestly hope it, will, it will give confidence to our people, and show them that some things can he done as well as others. Certainly the present prospects for a prosperous future for Wasco county are encouraging.” B looded S h eep . —W e take the fol lowing from the Mountaineer. Mr'. R , F. Jackson, of Winconsin, who visited this State Last Spring examining the prospect of introducing blooded sheep, is on his way to Oregon with three car loads of pure blood Span ish merino sheep. Mr. Jackson purchased bis sheep from Daniel Kelley, of Vermont, who is one of thé oldest thoroughbred breeders of sheep in the United States. Mr. Jackson comes by way of San Fran cisco, and brings with him 100 pick ed ewes and 274 bucks, ail warran ted pure bloods. W e heartily welcome Mr. Jackson to our State, or any one who will as sist us to improve the stock or oth erwise develop the resources of our State. From a number of gentleman who have jus- oiTived from Grant county we learn the crops are looking well the mines are paying and every thing generally is prospering. The wool market of Portland is quite active— the prices ranging trom 18 to 28 cents per pound, accor ding to qualify. Our fruit crop is looking splendid and bids fair to be excellent and abundant. The peach crop this year will exceed that of any former sea son, both in quality and quantity.— Our Willamette neighbors may pre pare themselves for a great treat this fall in the way of ripe luscious peaches. Advices from all parts of the W al la met valley agree that the prospect of the crops is excellent. Fall sown wheat is already beginning to head, and the rainfall has been quit suffi oient tc mature early spring crops. The area of ground sown considera ble exceed!" that of last year, but the increase in most of the Valley coun ties, is hardiy so great as 'that of 1873 over 1872. It is estimated by gentlemen, who is well acquainted with the subject, that the aggregate of the wheat harvest of this year will exceed that of last year bv obyut 7 per cent, if the season shall contin ue favorable.- -Oregonian. in order to raise funds with which to prosecute the work of opening and improving their road. For tiiree weeks past a force of about twenty five men have been constantly em- ploved, and are still at work on the road. The snow is all gone along the line of the road, except in one place— on the head waters of the U m atilla river. The men are now at work within a mile or two of the summit on the old Linkton road, where ¡lie new road intersects the old one. It is expected that the road will be opened and in good condition for travel by the first of July, pro vided a sufficient amount of money can be raised with which to carry the work ahead. Aud it is for tuis purpose that the officers of the com pany are canvassing the city at pres ent. Our people ought to do some thing for the road. No class of.men will receive more benefit from it then will onr merchants and busi ness men of all kinds. But they are not asked to give anything, they are only asked to buy some of the scrip of the road. This scrip is payable in toll, and the holder can turn it in to the road keeper for that pin pose. Merchants here can buy it, and pay lor it, and then sell it again when tiiev st 11 a man from Grande Ronde, or anywhere above there, a bill c goods. It simply amounts to payiu_ toll in advance. A n d if by so doing a large trade can be diverted from the old channel, and brought by this way, will it not pay to even sacrifice a few dollars in order to do so? There is d o doubt that the new road is least fifteen miles shorter than the Meaebam road between here and La Grande, and from twenty to thirty miles shorter than that road betweei here and Summerville, Union, Gove aud Baber City. And when properly worked it will be the best route ever found across the Bine Mo intains- at least that is what those say who have ever been over it. With this view of the subject we call upon our people to give a little aid to the en terprise.” W P retty G ood .— Mr. Geo.
