VILLIFICATION FAILS REBEL CLAIMS DEBARRED ! freedom and Equal Bights Triumphant ! 221 VS. 141. ENGLISH'S FORECLOSURE SUIT DE MURRED OUT OF COURT. . From returns already received it is no longer a question as to how the presidential election has gone ; it is only a question of how great is the majority for Garfield and Arthur. So far it is quite apparent that ever)' northern State, Nevada perhaps ex cepted, has given its electoral vote for Garfield by good majorities. This result must be accepted as the pronounced judgment of the Ameri can people that the time has not yet arrived when it would be safe to trans fer the management of governmental affairs to the keeping of those who sought to disrupt the government. The time has not yet arrived when those who have made such sacrifices for the preservation of the union can safely trust with power that party whose rec ord has been against every effort put forth for the preservation of the union and protection of human liberty. The clamor for a change rested upon no solid foundation ; peace and prosper ity gave the lie to all pretense that a change is needed to give increased en couragement to industrial pursuits and protection to labor. Returns from Pa cific states are yet too meagre to give certain figures or to base well founded conclusions as to results but it is quite evident that frauds were perpetrated in the counties along the border be tween Oregon and Washington Terri tory by the importation of Hancock voters. This, with the persistent lies and misrepresentations concerning Garfield's position on the Chinese question, has swelled the vote for Hancock and English in Oregon and California ; while the contest between the bonanza kings of Nevada has re sulted in the victory for James G Fair against Senator Sharon. The election is over and once more we turn with a feeling of relief from the political field. For several months past our columns have been of neces sity filled with political matters, but as the smoke of battle clears away our time and space will be more nartirn- larly devoted to the great interest of our state and county. To us thi change will not be an unwelcome one, and we trust our readers who do not agree with us politically will. fonmJn the past few months, give us the same cheerful encouragement in the future that they have so long extended to the VjAZETTE. The telegraphic dispatches are quite mu.uuiiuoas in reports from various primers in tne state, but not enough a yci Known to make certain the re sult. So far as reported Garfield is ahead about 500 votes. James Anderson, one of the lead g c ttle men of Oneida county, died 5 r lays ago from blood tumors. THE PEOPLE AND RAILROADS. Compare for a moment the geo graphical condition or the Coast line of Oregon with that of the 250 miles of corresponding latitude 00 the Eastern coast. There nature has pro vided abundant outlets, and every few miles a city and port open their gates to the Commerce of the world. Internal communications by railroad and highways connect the interior country of the Eastern States with the outports by the sea. With every centre of city life the force of com petition comes into play, and rival railroads strive for as large a propor tion as thev can secure of the freight age of the district, while competing lines ot steamers cairy on me war 01 rates. Oregon is differently placed. The one groat outlet of the State lies along its extreme northern boundary, where the Columbia river, with obstructions only few and far be tween, offers a highway of seven hundred miles to our growing trade. The Willamette, noble tributary to the great Columbia, during eight months ot the year, is also an open road for the commerce of the State. When the white men entered Oregon and built for themselves homes and founded cities and towns and villages, their first communica tions lay along and by the borders of the rivers ot the State. As civiliza tion spread, so the needs of more rapid and closer lying highways were felt. Settlers banded themselves together for common works on roads and bridges, and what the labor of a few and the money of the struggling pioneers were unable to effect, was done by associated capital from out side the State. And th lis the road companies, the steamboat companies, the bridge companies, and then the railroad companies were formed. What had been dedicated altogether to public use ; what was, and would ever re main, in all essentials, public prop erty the iualenienable rights of the people tor themselves and their de scendants freely to travel the high ways of the State, were of necessity encroached upon to give capital in ducements to come to this far West ern land. Tolls were established on roads and bridges; ferries were al lowed to be fixed on the rivers; steamboats commenced to ply for hire on the internal wateis of the State ; then came the railroads, choosing the passes and crosings of our mountain chains, traversing our valleys ; but hitherto seeking the Co lumbia river at their extremity or along their course to carry to the outside world the freight and passen gers they bore, or to bring in and distribute through their means the comforts and luxuries of life the State was yet too young to furnish to her children. But, thank God, our birthright has, as yet, been sold for no mess ot pottage. When men would form themselves into corpor ations and so gain strength by asso ciation, the legislature rigidly pre scribed the method of such forma tion. Foreigners, whether citizens of the State, or aliens by birth, were not to dominate the State. All of the Directors of most companies, and a majority of those of Railroad and Canal companies were "to be citizens of this State, and thus, by keeping home interests involved, by retaining the inspiring forces of the corpora tions under the domain of Oregon laws, and at the bar of Oregon pub lic opinion control was exercised here, at home, and a wise precaution was taken, which we trust to see con vinced to all time, that where the powers of the corporation were ex ercised there they should be limited and confined by law. But more ; it is conceded on all hands that the limited rights ot ownership over the highways and roads of a State granted through the Legislature of that State, (in such a matter the representative of the peo pie as a whole) are to be exercised primarily for the public benefit ; that while contracts with a corporation, so far as they remain within the do main of the law, ought to be rigidly respected, yet that a firm govern ment be kept up against encroach ment; and the rights of the people respected in the contest ever being waged between the private rights of the individual citizen and the grind ing principle of monopolies striving ever alter a daily increasing power and control. What are tne points that a corpor ation operating and striving to con trol the highways of the State, is certain to attempt to make its own ? First, To so hold the naviga tion of the Columbia river that competition there by steamboat may be impossible; and, to this end, eith er to own every steamboat plying for hire on our waters, or by artificial methods to cripple and drive off every independent line. Do any' natural facilities exist which may be turned to account for this selfish end ? Let the portages and the railroads there reply. Have we never seen 30 and 35,000 tons of freight, waiting atone time for transit ; stored where the winter's ice had caught them, and when usurious rates of passage money paid by the farmers of the upper country to carry their produce to a market were not enough to in duce such a simplification of and ad dition to the company's means of carriage as to enable that market to be reached ? Have we never known a reasonable competition to be crush ed out by the goods carried by an independent line being mulckd ex orbitantly over the narrow pass de livered over for a time, and let us hope oov for a time, into the con trol of the monopolists ? Have we never kuown preferential rates of passage money and freight to be of1 fered as an indaeeinent only where competition existed or was threaten ed, to be doubled and rendered crush ing in their weight where no such competfftjon as yet was felt ? Was the Columbia enough ? The Snake river, bounding our State along its Eastern side might surely escape from the grasp of the one corpora tion ? No; the wide valleys only just being opened to settlement and cultuie, were instinct with lite; while the setlers were poor, whilst the produce was yet trifling in volume and value; whilst there wan as yet no bond ot union or power or resist ance among these infant communities then was the time to bind them in iron bands and cynically to an nounce a policy of meeting at the farthest ooint. and preventing the establishment of what they were wittily pleased to call opposing in terests in our own territory. Was there no remedy ? Senate bill No. 82 prescribed for Oregon the same which has proved effectual in older States. This was no empirical attempt; no fanciful heal all for these ills. But an effort to reassert here our ancient and in herent right?, to restrain this vault iusr ambition of the corporations. To say to them thus far and no farther shall vou go. Within just limits as sociated capital shall clvim its right to appraise the services rendered by it and its own estimate. l he should be no attempt in hard and fast lines to . say how many dollars and cents so much transport is worth. To fix these things correctly there must, be an intimate knowledge of the special circumstances of each case; of the cost of construction, of maintainence and ot working eacn section of a line. This knowledge, this power of delicate adjustment the legislature neither has nor stiouia claim. What we do say, what we demand in the name of the present generation of our people, and ye more loudly in the interests of those large multitudes to be attracted here by just laws, and a pure and -firm administration, is this, that no one corporation who has acquired the right of any coutrol 'however partial over any of the highways of our State shall have the power to close its lines against passengers or freight from whatever quarter they may come; nor to weight one district town or person more heavily than another by saying to this one we will carry for so much, and to the other from you friend, we demand so much more though the same service is in each case demanded and paid. The bill was framed in the interest ot all but it did not pass. Let the people demand, to know the reason why Senators are accountable to their con stituents for every exercise of the power of obstruction, as well as for their advocacy of measures submit ted to their judgement, and we be lieve that it was no secret at Salem that unless resort had been had to obstruction when the bill was sub mitted to the Senate it would ere now have been law. IT IS ALL TOO TRUE. Me. Epitor. The Hon. President of the Oregon Senate is receiving the right kind of treatment ; just what he richly deserves, all the cheap puffs paid for no doubt, in which the words "honorable dealing, impartial rulings etc." occur entirely toooften are mean ingless, in the presence of those who witnessed the action of the gentleman in his efforts to throw discredit on the Oregon Pacific. TJu fortunately for Portland and the State there is a class of men, and Hon. Sol. Hirsch is one of them engaged in business there that seem to think every enterprise should be put down unless the com pan y or corporation take the precaution of establishing its principal office in that selfish city. There is something silly if not contemptible in this spite, be cause it can only be justified by sup posting the great State of Oregon, containing many counties larger in area than Rhode Island is capable of supporting but one city of 20,000 in habitantssothat any other pointthough 150 miles distant might prove a dan gerous rival. The people have a small conception of how far this feel ing of alarm reaches. To illustrate, Mr. Hirsch introduced a bill early in the session relating to Assignees. It was an innocent lookrbg bill, but un der its provisions a merchant doing business in the valley or elsewhere in the State might have obligations in San Francisco with two or three firms amounting to say $7,000 and a debt in Portland with five or six firms ot $5,000, a majority of his creditors in Oregon could throw him into bank ruptcy, and proceed to appoint an As signee. It is quite plain how this would work. San Francisco and Eastern people would be loth to credit, hence, Portland would be benefitted, but the serious point was this, in the event one ot these valley merchants should be elected to the legislature and it became necessary under the influence of that night mare constantly disturbing the peace of Portlanders, to oppose legislation not directly in the interest of that city intimations would reach the mer chant, a shadow of coming disaster, and if be was not made to see the ef fect ofdisobedienceit wouldbebecause he bad more nerve than at least two Honorable gentlemen of the session of 1880 whose record stands to-day against the policy in the future of putting men on the legislative ticket who do a credit business with Port land. Rialto. Oct. 30, 1880. SLANDER. An nely word heads this article. Let us see what it means. The dictionary says, slander literally, scandal, a false or ma licious report; defamation by words; calum ny. " Then let us look out scandal. Here is the reply. "Scandal literally a trap spring, snare laid ior an enemy ; something said which is false and injurious to reputation.. Now for an illustration. This a new country and as it is settled up many a site for a town is found. Suppose one is located and as usual a store is opened. But it is far from a city, roads are bad, haulage costly; therefore the goods are not of first quality and the poods very dear. The storekeeper, Mr Oreanden let us call him prospersbecause folks must have flour and bacon and beans and coffee, ribbons for the ladies and tobacco for the men. But the farmers are poor and keep poor, and a dim sort of idea gains ground that the town is large enough and tne country enough settled up to hare a second store, that competition, may improve the quality and lower the prices of goods. Naturally the storekeeper objects. But he has been obliged to lest some of tha merchants know the truth to keep his own credit up, and get his goods; and he is compelled to keep on sending on his orders, but he tells the merchants all the time that his customers all love him, and will never spend a cent at a new store ; and he tells the merchants, if any questions are asked of you mind you frighten every man away that presumes to think of setting up in my territory, and this he does though hitherto he had been praising up everything to the merchants as No. L So matters go on for a year or two, and the storekeepers wooden building gives way to a fine brick, and he buys land all rouud the town, and gets hold of all the stock in the bridge that leads to the town, and he gets a charter, and he nominates the town council and ap points the mayor, and runs the fire depart ment, and his goods are no better and his prices rise. But the country settles up, and wheat and wool come in and people begin to talk, and at last they make up their minds, that this thing is too thin, and if the truth were but known about the trade of the place more stores must be built and eomiietition must bring prices down. So some of the outsiders, who have not borrowed any money of Mr. Oreanden, and owe him no more than they can well pay get together and find out how many farmers trade with the place, and what wheat and wool come in, and how much flour and bacon and sugar has been handled the last j year and all the rest of it. And they sign their names to the paper which shows the figures and after some trouble they get it into the newspapers. After a little a man with a head on his shoulders sees this pa per, and thinks, why this Oreanden must be coining money at this rate. If things are so surely there can't be any difficulty in getting the merchants in the big city to supply goods fon a new store, or even two. So he enquires for himself and finds that the people that signed the paper are honest men and have told the truth. Whereupon he prepares a nice plain circular which mentions the position of the town ; and how many people there are, and what they need, and tell3 of' the facts the folk have got to gether about it, and how they signed the paper that appeared in the newspaper. And then he goes to the great city and sees ail the merchants and sends out some copies of his circular. Soon Mr. Oreanden, the fat storekeeper, hears of thi3, and he bites his nails and scratches his head, but no good comes of this, for at last he realizes that the town is not his, that the inhabitants are not his slaves, they can trade where they please so long as the don't owe him any money, and that as sure as the sun rises they will leave his store for the new one if it sells better and far cheaper goods. And he thinks the merchants will supply the goods too if they believe this circular. 'Is it too late to stop it? Says he to him self. Perhaps 1 can make out th3se people that signed the paper a pack of liars, and this new trader a fraud; and then the mer chants won't supply the goods and the new store can't be opened, and my bonanza goes on again. Can I do it myself ? says he. That won't do, for in the first place every one will gee my game, and in the next I have been telling those merchants all the time what a good thing I have got. I have it. There is the Mayor, he will say what I tell him; never mind that he knows no more of storckeeping than a sheep does of the ten commandments, and besides sup plies me with butter. These men in the citv don't know that, and he is a fine fel low to lock at and so responsible too, and then how well he manages that town coun cil; so civil he is to that poor fellow from up South and holds his party together. Yes, that is the way out of it."- Did it answer? say you. Well, that remains to be seen. What did the town people say about it ? Did the merchants tinid it out ? The sequel will show. Now go back to the heading 'otLthis ar ticle and its first few sentences, and read this from the San Francisco Morning Call of Oct. 20th: "Pacific Coast Telegrams. Oregon's Bad Legislature. Portland, Oct. 19. In the State Senate last evening the pros pectus of the Oregon Pacific Railway Com pany, of which Col. T. Egenton Hogg is President, was read in a speech by one of the Senators, who denounced it in bitter terms, characterizing it as false in its state ments, dud a fraud in its face. The bill under consideration, which was a bill to provide for interchange of traffic by com mon carriers, was indefinitely postponed." Do you see it ? we have the spectacle of these two newspapers bolstering up this condi tion of things disasterous to to the nterests of the people. Nor is this all, they urge on Congress the neces sity of completing the Locks and im proving the upper Columbia for what? pray, why unless there can be com petition it would be simply a great convenience tor tne uregon rail way and Navigation Company nothing more. Rialto. Oct. 30, 1880. Washington, Oct. The following was issued to-day by the President of die United States of America : Proclamation At no period in the history since the United States became a nation nation has this people bad so abundant and so universal reasons for joy and gratitude at the favor of Al mighty God, or been subject to so pro found aud obligation to give thanks for his loving kindness and humbly to im prove his continued care and prosper ity. The health, wealth and prosper ity throughout all our borders, peace, honor and friendship with all the world, firm-and faithful adherence by Uhe gieat body of our population to the principles ot liberty and justness, which have made our greatness as a Dation, to the wide institutions and strong frame of government, aud socie ty which will perpetuate it. For all these let the thanks of a happy aud united people as with one voice ascend in devout homage to the giver of all good. I therefore recommend that on Thursday, the 25ih day of November next, the people meet in their respect ive places of worship to make ac knowledgement for his bounties and his protection, and to offjr to him prayer for their contiuuaoce. In wituess whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.

Dolph's majority report on Senate Bill No. 82, and attempt to give it importance by significant head lines and that is as much im portance as can be claimed, for argu ment certainly there is none made. But remember that this little bill of 20 lines made competition on the Co lumbia riverpossiblelhopethatno one will contend that competition on that noble river would not be beneficial ever since ex-Senator Mitchell made his great speech on au appropriation for the Locks and read a notice of the O.
