fHE BENTON DEMOCRAT. Us OFFICIAL PAPER FOR BENTON COUNTY. SATURDAY, :::::: MARCH 1. FARMERS t Remember the meeting at the Court House, at 11 o'clock to-day. Let every one turn out. w M m THE ANNIE STEWART. By invitation, we stepped aboard the splendid steamer Annie Stewart, at Moffett's wharf, Portland, on Tuesday last, and made a voyage up the Will amette to Oswego and back. The boat was in charge of Captain Kellogg, with Captain Gilman, one of the owners, as directing engineer. This steamer has undergone a thorough overhauling, hav ing been fitted with new machinery, and an immense boiler of the heaviest iron in use, having stood a test of 240 pounds to the the square inch. But 60 pounds of steam was carried, yet the symmetrical craft glided through the water at a speed equal to that of any boat on the river. Every part of the machinery worked to the perfect satis faction of the engineer, and the boat was found to handle with ease. Mon day next is the day set for the trial trip of this vessel, after which she will be put on the upper river until the Govern or Grover is readv to run. A number of guests will be invited on this trip, who will be sumptuously entertained by the owners. It is proposed to pass through the locks, and ascend the Willamette to Harrisburg, if the Btaee of water will permit. Should this boat be able to reach Corvallis, its citi zens should be prepared to entertain the company on shore in a befitting manner, and give an earnest of the feeling held by this community for the company who bave labored so energetically in estab lishing an opposition to the monopoly which has so long fleeced our people by exorbitant freight tariffs. Let us give the Annie and her guests a rousing reception. ' The Modoc Peace Commissioners are at loggerheads. Case, with a true conception ot the matter, contends for unconditional surrender of the savage horde, with a view to the punishment of the murderers, while Meacham and Applegate favor a conciliatory policy. Meacham has sent a telegram to Super mtendent Odeneal, requesting his aid in the settlement of the question, which request Odeneal was compelled to de - cline acceding to, as he was ordered on duty among the Nez Percea. The solution of the Modoc question is still a snbjett for future consideration. Railroad Tariffs. An exchange baa a table of the freight tariffs of a number of Eastern roads, showing the great diffreence between them and those charged by the Oregon and California lines. These rates, and those of the Oregon road are as follows : ' Per ton per 100 miles Boston & Albany R.

Pacific 2 70 Oregon & California 10 40 Apologetic. Though not particu larly necessary, we feel forced to ask the indulgence of readers of the Demo crat this week for any short comings. During the greater part of the time since last issue the editor has been ab sent, leaving a lady friend in charge, with a competent gentleman to play the devil." If any thing appears border ing on Woman's Rights, or wearing an air of the lower regions, let it be re membered that the "chief" is entirely innocent. Superintendent Odeneal has been ordered by the Indian Department, at Washington, to proceed to the Wallowa Valley, and arrange for the peaceful settlement of the impending troubles with the Joseph band of the Nez Perce Indians, and to arrange either for their removal to- a Reservation, or for their occupation of the Wallowa Valley, to the exclusion of the white settlers. Meacham says Captain Jack is an honorable man, and if invited to that chieftain's came he will go. Re pen says tne Anaians entertain r ., ,. - . . ' v:n enmity toward Meacuam ana me p- plegates, and there is not much likeli hood of either of these gentlemen risk ing their lives. Not by land. Mors Indian Troubles. Gov- Grover received a communication on Thursday last, signed by a large num ber of citizens of Wallowa Valley, ask ing for 200 stand of arms, for defense against tbe Nez Perce Indians. ixquiry aboutbeston cousty. Henry T. Wilkerson, of Mayfield, Ky., writes to a gentleman of this city, under date of February 5th, as follows: Sib : I desire to emigrate to your State, and enclose stamped envelope, hoping you will lavor me with a descrip tion ot the land in your county, its pro ductions, amount it will produce per acre, facilities for raising stock, price, tin-ber, and in short such general inform ation as will be of use to me in the' se lection of a future home. Is there a railroad in operation in your couut', or a prospect of one soon- i If you have a County paper please send me a copy. I enclose stamp for the same. Await ing a reply at your earliest convenience, I am, Yours very respectfvlly. Henry T. "Wilkerson. If some intelligent farmer will favor us with answers to the above inquiries, we will publish them, not only for the benefit of Mr. Wilkerson, but hundreds of others in the Eastern States, who are seeking information concerning our young and growing State. We have sent to Mr. Wilkerson a copy or the Democrat as requested. Scarcely a week passes that we, or some of our friends, do not receive let ters of inquiry similar to the one pub lished above. The general hard times experienced at present throughout the States, both North and South, especial ly by the farming community, is caus ing thousands of people to look to the new States of the far West for homes. Oregon, with her salubrious climate, her rich agricultural lands,her inexhausti ble forests, her splendid water powers, her rich and varied mineral deposits, and her unequaled facilities for stock raising, offers inducements to the settler, which are peculiar to herself alone, and which are unsurpassed by any of the most favored portions of iflnerica. - While the people of the Northern States have been snowed under to the depth of from two to twenty feet, with ice of any desired thickness and more too. we, ot " Webfuot," have seen the ground covered with snow but once du ring the winter, aud then but for an hour or two ; and have been compelled to send abroad for ice to cool our drinks, While the farmers in the Atlantic States are feeding their last year's crops to shivering, half-frozen stock, horses, cat tle, sheep and hogs have kept hi geod condition, in Oregon, without a mouth ful of food save such as they procured from pastures of nature's own planting, With such advantages, Oregon has but to be known to receive what she at present stands most in need of an im migration of economical, industrious farmers, who will build up for them selves homes of beauty and plenty, aud develop the resources of our country and add much to the wealth and pros perity of our State. We propose to publish all informa tion which we can obtain, aud ask our friends to assist us. Any communica tions will receive careful attention, aud, as the Benton Democrat has a large and increasing circulation throughout the Western and Southwestern States, no better method of communicating in formation can be devised, than through its columns. The " Heathen Chinee " has at last found his level in the lobby at Wash ington. We have always held the Chi naman in supreme and distant respect, but now that Fung Wing has so far forgotten his lofty standing as to appear in the House of Representatives and make a speech on the Chinese indemni ty bil 1, our regard for the race has van ished. It is now time to let women have a chance. Oregon Boundary. Mr. Slater has introduced in Congress a bill to make the Columbia and Snake rivers the northeastern boundaries of Oregon ; in other words, to include the whole of Walla Walla Valley in this State. The bill provides that the voters of that sec- turn shall have opportunitv to exm-ess .T.; iiugil feuwuG in me waiter.

I kti a eieauier io lane a. load of ftonr ff0m non, to Portland, Linn county farmers have a grand re uniou at Albany, on the 8ih inst. Gov. Grover will address the meeting. Albany studenis got on the war path this week, " weut for " a Professor, and got into the Cosrts. The European and Oregon Land Company have decided to print anoth er book on Oregon, THE PEACE COMMISSON. The telegraph gives us but imperfect accounts of the workings of the Peace Commission-in the Modoc country, but, as far as we can learn, Captain Jack has the best of the talk. The Commis sioners are not harmonious, Meacham abjectly suing for peace, while Case thinks that the Government of the Uni ted States is strong enough to subdue a band of 150 savage murderers, and bring them to justice. Meantime Ap plegate devotes his time and energies to an imbecile . attempt to reconstruct Gov. Grover. Meacham and Applegate claim that the object of the Peace Com mission is to effect a compromise with this " honorable man," and save the ex pense of whipping him and his band. This is excellent sophistry, and may deceive those at a distance, who do not know that the keeping of the army in active, is costing the Government as much as it would if. in active service, since the troops are within a few miles of the head-quarters of this band of cut-throats ; but it will hardly go down with those near by, whose homes have been destroyed, friends murdered, and property stolen by these red devils The citizens of that section feel very much discouraged at the prospect. Loss of time in whipping the Mqdocs is death to them, as the Indians are still killing their cattle, burning their bouses and keeping the people in fear and suspense for the lives of themselves and families Judge A. M. Roseborough, of Yreka, has been appointed by the J President, as an additional member of the Commis sion, and, as he, together with Steele and Fairchild, are claimed by Captain Jack as warm friends, strong fears are entertained that the result of the con ference will be disastrous to the white settlers. They can see but little differ ence between Koseborough, Steele and Shack-Nasty Jim as Commissioner to treat with Captain Jack, Were the cost of the Commission and the support of the army the only evils resulting from this arrant humbug,, we should care but little ; but it is a well known fact that the Indians throughout Oregon are restless, and any concessions made to the Modocs will be construed by them, and by the Indians on all the Reservations, as so many evidences of weakness aud tear on the part of the United States authorities ; and 4 will bear their fruits in insurrections aud outbreaks, on many of the Reserves'. Already have a portion of the Nez Per- ces and the Snakes on the fort Hall aud Harney Lake Reserves sounded the note of defiance, and should the Modocs now get paid for making a hollow and rotten peace, instead of being punished for their crimes as they deserve, the re sult will be that other tribes will follow their example, hopiug for like results, We anxiously await the issue of this farce, hoping that General Gillem will be permitted to conquer a- peace which shall be permanent, the terms of which shall be written in the blood of the last thieving Modoc that has helped to make the lava beds a place of note.

STATE TEMPERANCEALLtANCE, This body met" at Salem on the 20th ult- The proceedings, which are repor ted at length in the Portland dailies, were such as to cause the blush of shame to mantle the cheek of every true temv perance man and woman in the State. The Alliance organized by the election of Miles Miller, of Salem, as Secretary pro tern, Rev. J. H. D. Henderson, "Vice President, in the chair. , While the re port of the Committee on Credentialswas under consideration, a scene of discord and disturbance arose which defies des cription. Mrs. Duniway, who last year got away with the Alliance single hand ed and alone, was on hand, reinforced by a number of delegates from the "Woman Suffrage Convention" recently held at Portland. The opposition met her with I a bold front, determined to vanquish her at the beginning, and therefore reported adversely to the admission of the " old hen " and her brood, upon the ground that the said delegation were part and parcel of a political organization.. But they had reckoned without their host. as the following extracts from the spe cial report to the Oregonian will show : The report contained the following recommendation : That Mrs. Dni way, a duly accredited delegate from the State Woman's Suff rage Association, be not admitted; as in the opinion of the Committee, the Asso ciation referred to is a political party. - 1 he adoption ot the report was moved, whereupon Mrs. Duniway rose and in quired : Who, under the Constitution, are competent delegates 1 The Chair announced that the Secretary would read the only section of the Constitu tion that referred to membership. The Secretary . accordingly read the fol lowing: liesolved, lbat the name of the Asso ciatiou shall be the Oregon State Tem perance Alliance : that it shall be com posed of members of this Convention and other men and women who by their past record - ahull be known as firm friends to the lemperance cause, and shall cooperate with all Temperauce or ganizations of whatever name and na ture. Mrs. Duniway moved to amend the report by striking out that portion ad verse to Woman bunrage Association and inserting the recommendation that they be admitted to seats in the Alliance, aud supported her motion iu a few well- directed remarks. The question being on the amend ment offered by Mrs. Duuiway, General C. A. Reed addressed the house in sup port ot the amendmemt. He . was making a gallant defense, when Mr. Tilnion Ford rose to a point of or der that none but members were allow ed to speak. The Chair ruled the poiat not well taken, holding that until the report should be adopted, one person was a member as much as another. Mr. Ford appealed from the decision of the Chair, arguing that none but. last year's members had a right to speak and vote until after the report was adopted or rejected ; then, others can be admitted to membership The Chair -The gentleman is correct. The chair reverses its ruling and wants things done as agreeably as possible Major Geo. Williams What is the question before the House, and who has a right to vote thereon ? The Chair lhe question is on the motion to adopt the amendment to the report, and no one has a right to vote thereon Mr. Wooden elaborated a point of or der designed to prove that he had the right to vote, The Chair Gentlemen, the Chair erred. You have the right to vote. Mr. Ford I except to that ruling, The (Jhair 1 mean under proper limitations, (voice, " ke-rect !" ) Mr. T. H. Cann said he wanled the aid of all good temperance people in these councils, hut was adverse to ad mitting any political party. If the Democratic party should send delegates I should object just as much to admit ting them. . . Gen. Reed The gentleman need have no fears that the Democratic party will ever send delegates to a leraper- ance Convention. I Laughter I Mr. . I move the previous ques tion. The Chair Is the previous question seconded by the House 1 A two-third s vote will be necesary to sustain the demand. Mr. Cann rose to a point of order That it was not competent to amend a report. The Chair overruled the objec tion. A Voice- What is the question ? The Chair The question is on the adoption of the report of the Committee. Cries of " No I JNo ! and great con fusion. - Amid the babel of noise infernal that followed the decision of the Chair, Mr. W.s' haggard face shot a beam of glory f-traht to the dais of Agamemnon, which so illuminated the mind of the President that he incontinently doubled on his track, reversed his decision and ttrA voa nncft more restored. The Chair announced that the previous ques tion was under debate (!) Mr. . "Driver Mr. President before you can pass upon this question C 'lies of " Order Urder 1 Mr. Driver Before yon can pass- Voice Order it up 1 Mr. Driver You must decide the law, Voice Who's Chairman o this 'ere Convention? Mr. Driver If you 11 keen auiet so a man' can hear himself speak, I'll ex plain the law ! Voice Dern the law ! The Chair-Has the previous Question been seconded 1 Mr. Thornton-- The question is on- ine amendment. The Chair The previous - Question takes precedence of the amendment. A vote on the previous question was had, resulting in its being ordered. The Chair The question is on the amendment. . . - . At tbis point Mrs. D. favored the Al- liance with a characteristic speech, more remarkable for strength than for beauty of diction .or. choice of expression. j. ' after which Maj. Geo. Williams offered a resolution declaring that Mrs. A. J. Duniway was entitled to a seat as dele gate from the State at large. Mr. Wooden furnished a characteris tic speech. He was afraid Mrs. D. would ' run the Alliance as she had threatened to do." He moved to lay the resolution on the table. X he President declared the motion carried. A division resulted in ayes 74. noes 63, Mr. D. W. Prentice called for a read ing of the names on the divisio" The President declared the request out of order. Mr. Prentice said further, that many who had voted nay had misunderstood the question, and that some had uttered aye so indistinctly that the Secretary could not bave heard them Mr. P. was summarily disposed of, the rresident refusing to recognize the demand. During the afternoon session a mo tion to admit Miss Virginia Olds, arous ed Judge Thornton's ire, and he made some allusions offensive to numerous ladies ; whereupon Mrs Duniway rose to set the matter right. Mr. Thornton exclaimed : " I hope the President will order the Sergeant- at-arms to take that crazy womaii out of the house, which remark was greeted with loud hisses, The hasty exclamation of Judge Thornton aroused Mrs. Duniway, who remonstrated with that gentleman upon his intolerant spirit. Several persons in the rear ot the hall began a disturbance which, spreading rapidly, rendered it impossible to hear the lady s voice. Amid great turbulence, a motion was made to instruct the Sergeant-at-arms to take Mrs. Duniway from the hall. The motion was rushed through. 1 he Sergeant-at-arms advanced to his task with evident pleasure written on his countenance, amid loud imprecations from one or two venerable gentlemen. Mrs.Duniway held her position.the peace officer standing at a respectful distance. When the lady concluded, she took her seat amid loud cheers. During the morning session of the second day. Dr. C. H. Hall moved to take from the table the resolution admit ting Mr. A. J. Duniway as a delegate at large. A motion to indefinitely postpone the whole subiect matter was treated to a crushing defeat at the hands of 89 dele gates who voted aye. ' The negatives summoned 72 noes ; a complete rever sal ot last night's decision. The motion to adopt the original reso lution was amended by T. H. Cann so as to include " all the delegates from the Woman s Suffrage Association The amendnent was indefinitely post poned, Mr. Ford rose to a point of order ; that the effect of indefinitely postponing the Cann amendment was to carry the whole matter along with it. The Chair refused so to rule. Mr. Wooden roared a herce roar which fell like lead upon the ears of the worthy President, who peremptorily ordered the recalcitrant Wooden to be silent. The rebuke of the President afforded occasion for loud applause, Several other delegates whose mental calibre refused to conform to the laws of ratio and proportion met an easy death at tbe hands ot the wearied Chair man. - " The previous question on the resolu tion of admission was carried after a host of dilatory motions had been inter- nosed The defeat of the resolution was ac complished by a clear majority of 25, the vote standing S7 ayes to a noes As the result became known the irre pressible of the victorious party vented itself in long and ioua cneers, A motion to adjourn afforded the bea ten delegates an opportunity to amend bv adding sine die. This amendment was lost by an overwhelming majority. This finished the labors of the meet ing, so far as anything of practical ntil ity was concerned, and a large number of the better and more sensible portion of the delegates, disgusted at the inde cent proceedings, withdrew from tbe Alliance and issued a call for a meetieg of the true friends of temperance, for the purpose of organizing a Temperance Union, in which gentlemen and ladies of refinement can participate without being compelled to become a party to such scenes as were enacted during the session of the Alliance. The meeting convened on Friday evening, the 2lst nit., at the Good Templar's Hall, and organized by the election of Tilman Ford, of Salens as Presfdeht,' and H ) .
