Last Saturday the Republican primaries in this county were held, but we have failed to receive reports from all the precincts. As far as heard from everything passed off pleasantly and harmoniously, augur ing weff for the success of the party in the corning election. The prima ryju this precinct was unusually laiggfj attended a report of which is gMneTse where. To-morrow, at 10 o'wviciv, .a. si., the County Con vention meets at the Court House in tins uityk, From the interest exhibit ed llflH! primaries, we predict a full : t Ion rc in nnrniilinn 11 n t sr - r - . - - it may be so, as very important du ties rest, upon that body, in the proper discharge of which every portion of the county jjfcdirectly interested Chief ajnongfU&m is the selection of candidates for. the various county offices. .

The entire possessions of the Ore gon Steam Navigation Company were transferred to the Oregon Rail way and Navigation company on the 31st ol march, 1880. The following is a statement of the property trans fened, as found in the Daily Oregon ian of April 1st, which places nearly all the transportation facilities of this State in the hands of one corpora tion, with but little show of opposi tion, or competition. What the ef fect of this transaction will be, re mains to be seen. The future not only of this State, but of the north west coast, is, in a great measure in the hands of this corporation. There is one avenue of commerce, one out let to the ocean, however, which they do not control Yaquina Bay and it remains for those immediately in terested in cheap transportation to say whether or not this natural out let of Central and Eastern Oregon shall be made available in the present emergency. A liberal appropriation for the improvement of Yaquina Bay. by the present congress, is the only hope left for the people of this state. With this the people of Oregon can secure competition in freights and fares, and a short and direct route to market; without an appropriation the people are completely iu the pow er of one of the greatest monopolies that ever did, or ever can, exist in this state. In view of these startling (acts, no wonder that the press of this state demands, in thunder tones, that our senators and representative in con gress should, without fail, secure such appropriation. To falter now, or de lay, would be an unpardonable s:n, and a great public calamity. In the face of facts and figukes, now be fore congress that honorable body cannot, ana surely will not, turn a deaf ear to the reasonable and imper ative demands or an overburdened people for relief. The Oregonian says: Pursuant to a lesolution passed yesterday by the stockholders of the Oregon Steam Navigation Co. at a meeting held, and also by the board of directors of the same cor poration, the formal transfer of all the prop erty, real ana personal, was made to the Or egon Railway and Navigation Co. Header of the Oregonian will remember that men tion of this sale was made in these columns sometime since. The deed, in which is mi nutely described all the property included in the transfer, was placed on rile yesterday in the office of the county clerk. It is a most voluminous document, covering nearly 50 paes of legal cap. The consideration mentioned in the deed is $810,000, and the property included in the transter is as follows : All the railroad lines, locomotives, cars, rolling stock, etc., belonging to the compa ny between the Upper and Lower Cascades on both sides of the Columbia river, known as the "Portage." All the road between The Dalles and Ce lilo (including rolling stock, offices, etc.); also all road beds owned by the corporation. All the telegraphic lines, wires, poles, in struments, etc., between Portland and Wal la Walla. In addition, all the real estate, docks, landing, wharves, etc., belonging to the company, located in Portland, Multnomah county, in Oregon City, Clackamas county, Salem, Marion county, Aster ia, Clatsop county ; also at the Upper ai d L wer Cas cade in Multnomah and Wasco co inties ; at The Dalles, Wasco county ; iu Umatilla county, Skamania county, Washington ter ritory; in Walla Walla county, Washington territory, and in Lewiston, Idaho territory. A bill of sale will be filed to-day in the office of collector of customs, transferring all the floating stock, for the consideration of $72G,000. The following is the list of steamboats and barges mentioned in the sale : Steamboats. Dixie Thompson, Emma Hay-ward, Bonita, Welcome, Wide We3t. S. G. Reed, R. R. Thompson, Mountain Queen, Annie Faxon, John Gates, Spokane, Almota, McMinnville, Northwest, Harvest Queen, D. S. Baker, Idaho, Bonanza, Willamette Chief, Champion, E. N.

S. bonds, and payment of their principal and interest, in legal tender, lawful greenback money of the U.

Resolved, That our representative in con gress urge an appropriation for the improve ment of Yaquina Bay. ANSWER TO'COMUS." Mr. Editor : I see in your paper of Feb. 13, that one " Comus " has assumed the re sponsibility to report the action of our club meeting at Philomath. We would like to know who paid him for his services ? If he did it without pay, we will pay him next time if he will report truth, for Mr. Smith says that some of his assertions were palpa ble falsehoods. He tells us that resump tion was the salvation of the country. But he failed to tell us in what way our govern ment would pay a bonded debt of over two billion dollars with about eight hundred million dollars in hard money. He failed to tell us that specie resumption took place in January, 1876, and that that there had not yet been a dollar in hard money paid out for greenbacks, but that they had been taken in, burned up and an interest-bearing bond given out iu their place, thereby increasing the National debt and the volume of inter est as a burden on the people. He also failed to tell us that John Sherman had failed in his favorite scheme of resumption until he adopted the main plank in the Greenback platform in making three hun dred and fifty million dollars that he re served and made legal tender for all debts, and is now, if I am rightly informed, paying the interest on the public debt with them, which is a violation of law. He says that it is a straige thing that a man with "as much good sense as Mr. Smith has, would advocate such an absurd thing as the Green back move. - ;: . Now, Mr. Editor, when we want a man to tlictateWoT us, we will take one with at least a thimble full of brains. His remarks remind me of some of his slang two years ago, when he said that the Greenback party was composed of broken-dowi politicians and, jaioon bummers, when there is not & matf in the party but what is a credit to "Comus.'.' He says that Mr. Smith is lia ble to squander all his means in advocating si! eh a cause. All glory to Mr. Smith ; if one rich man has put his shoulder to the wheel to assist the down trodden poor to liberate themselves from the yoke of bond age ty paying ne national debt, an.l stop the interest that is to-day drawing the vital ity from the nation, that will remain a enrse for generations to come unless tho princi ples of the Greenback party are adhered to. Ho says that just such agitation has caused so many strikes. Would that the agitation continue until the lout bond was struck into everlasting flames, when we should have no more bloated bondholders living upon the industry of tha poor. Ho speaks of the floating class, who have but little. Now, Mr. "Comus," you are one of those imagin ary fellows ; you have a few dollars out at interest and you hope one day to be able to own a U. S. bond. But before that time, " Comus," we will have the last ono of thorn in flames. He stated that Mr. 8. said that money brought the war to a close. Mr. S. made no such statement, for he well knows that a half million of our best men foil to restore the Union, and a half million that survived have now to labor by the tweot of the brow to pay the interest on a bonded debt that was created while they were in the field being shot at. Mr. " Comus," you assail Brick Pomeroy; when you do it you assail one of the truest, outspoken journalists of the age, battling for truth and right. Who is this "Comus"? He is a man that would lay aside truth and virtue to vote for an old shell of a party that is to-day staggering beneath a mighty load of corruption so powerful that it is near crushed to the earth ; a few more days and it will be numbered with the past. He is one of those old fogies that cannot see above the party lines, and has said before witnesses that he would vote for a yellow dog before would lose his party record. Now, Mr. " Comus," we are willing to meet yon on the political issues of the day; but come out like a man, and present an is sue, if you have one, without so much slang. " Comus," I believe you are on fSie wrong track. Have you ever known your party to make one act of legislation in the last twenty years in favor of the laboring class ? Don't you know that your party has bankrupted our government by burning up our money and reducing the volume of cur rency until there ianot one-fourth enough to transact the bussiness of the country ? That your contracting system is only ad vancing interest and thereby working a hardship on the laboring class ? Are you aware that taxation should bt equal, and that it is not right to keep those untaxed bonds, the money of which should help, in a two-fold manner to support the government; first, by paying taxes, second by being in circulation to transact business and build up the industries of the country ? Are you aware that the good book says that you rich chaps shall not oppress the poor ? The next time you hear of a Greenback meeting, just go and convince them that they are wrong, but do not use too big words. Now "Co mus," you might do a great deal of good in this county ; you know we need the Ya quina railroad very bat! ; will you just write over to congress and have them pay off the bonds, and you know the bondholders will have to use their money and they Will jump at the chance to build our railroad, so that their money may make them something. Now, " Comus," I know you want office ; just come over to the Greenback party and we will give you one, as all our men are hard-working men and do not want any public positions. Greenback. Philomath, March 3d, 1880. CONGRESSIONAL INQUIRY. The prrtper officers failing to make a report of the examination of Ya quina Bay, by Capt. Woods, last December, Senator Slater introduced a resolution calling for the report, which was considered by unanimous consent and agreed to. It will be found on paje 2, Cong. Record, of March 19, as follows: Resolved, That the Secretary of War be directed to furnish the Senate with all data in the possession of the Department of En gineers of the United States respecting the entrance to Yaquina Bay, Oregon, showing the depth and width of the channel and the character of obstructions thereto, and par ticularly a copy of the report of Capt. Woods of an examination and survey of the entrance of said harbor, made in December, 1879, by direction of the board of engin eers for the Pacific coast. The above resolutionexplainsitself, and shows that the friends of Yaquina Bay, at Washington, are not asleep. Had that survey and estimates been reported promptly, as they should have been, Congress would have made an appropriation for this much needed work, long ago. Quick Trip. Last Thursday morning we stepped on board the City of Salem, went to the capital, attended to business, and at 6 P. m. started for home on the steamer Oc cident, arriving next morning at 7 o'clock. Between the boats, our regular stage line, and the Westside railroad, Corvallisites are now bitrhly favored with public conveyances. We have been waiting a long time for its advent, but the "good time coming " is now dawning upon us. With the completion of our railroad ti Yaquina Bay, and its exten sion, via Lebanon to Eastern Oregon, Corval lis will become, in the near future, the prin cipal inland town of the Willamette valley. Its geographical position, beautiful location, pure and abundant water, and healthful and invigorating climate, all conspire to assure its future prosperity. County Nominations.
