Remember the meeting at the Court

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

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

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
