WEEKLY mum GAZETTE. Corvallis, Oct. 21, 1881. THE YORKTOWN CENTENNIAL. -EDITED BY TANTIS & WOODCOCK, ATTOSfcEYS AT LAW. OFFICIAL PAPER FOR BENTON COUNTY Th Villard Monopoly Refuse to Ship certain kinds of Goods to CorvalHs Merchants. Daring the years past the several transportation companies have never refused to carry Bp and down the vMeyench articles of merchandise at the people, or the merchants want ed. But lately a great change has taken place. Since last year both railroads running sontl from Portland on either side of the river, awd alu the steamboat lines on the river, have all been purchased by and controlled by the Villard monopoly. Smc which time if freight is tendered them for transport they receive it or reject It as they ree proper. They know they are violgting the laws of com mon carrieiB in doing so, hut they very well know that parlies offering freight to be carried can ill afford to go to law with tbem, ai.d thus they pntthe law at defiance. During the last few months this monopoly has refused to convVy tin article of powder from Portland to the merchants of Corvalli to be used in the ordinary course of trade. ab they have always bought and sold it before. At the same time we arc creditably informed that to no otht-r place on either of their railroads do they refuse to carry this article of merchandise. To he sure powder is an article that we can not eat or wear and while by its use the convenience of every person in the county is ben efitted, yet our people can do with out it. But this is not the point ex actly. If this monopoly which now has every man woman and child in Oregon and Washington Ty. within the grasp of its iron fangs can refuse to carry powder when tendered to them in the ordinary course of trade with equal propriety they can refuse to transport wheat, oais, stiirnr, cot fee or merchandise of any kind. It may be said that they will not refuse to carry this class of articles perhaps they may not, yet there is hardly any person thai would have believed that this company would have re fused to carry so common an article of merchandise as powder, until after such refusal it became an actual fact This transaction unmistakably proves that the people of Oregon are bound Band and foot by the fetters of this gigantic, relentless and crushing monopoly; that the business prosper ity of our state depends wholly upon their actions. That by a single word or the stroke of a pen they can make the whole vast amount of produce in this valley worth its actual value in proportion, as its value is in other parts of the world, or not worth a eent. They can refuse to carry the produce of this valley to market, and also refuse to bring any article of merchandise iu return, and thus force tiie people to haul it by wagon and team as they did when transportation lines in Oregon were in their inlancy. Or what they would more likely do than anything else is to put freight so high that the producer could realize nothing for his labor, and so that the articles consumed would eost more than any man could afford to ay for them. We do not mean to say that these things will happen, but we put them jn this shape to imnrcsa upon the minds of the people the nalute of the monster in whose power they are, ami also to show with what case tkr-j -ean oppress the people without the least chance of helping themselves. The people of Oregon want cotnpeti tion in this line of industry. They want an outlet to the sea by the way of Yaqnina bay, with the Oregon Pacific railroad extending from that harbor across the valley throogh Eastern Oregon by way of Boise City to connect with the Union Pa cific railroad. This w II put us in communication with the rest of the world with all the advantages of a trans-continental railroad line, which will be the shortest and cheapest route of all, besides giving us the advantage of a sea-port tor.n at Ya quina bay near at hand. This Is the one and only relief for the people of the Willamette valley and Eastern Oregon, and until this improvement is completed, we must necessarily remain in a state of continual bond age to the Villard monopoly. On the first of October Chief of Construc tion Haliett telegraphed to the Chief En gineer of the O. B. & 2T. Co. that he had finished the nil road grade between The Calles and the Cascade. While the unusual good feeling now existing between the United States and the mother country causes j many of the citizens of America to look on the Yorktown celebration with indifference, and some even go so far as to suirgest that the matter is hardly in good taste, yet a Blatter of so great national notoriety ought not to be passed over in silence by any journal claiming to be awake. The ceremonies regan on Tuesday with the laying of the corner stone ot the monument at which the Masonic fraternity assisted with the imposing riles of their ancient ami honorable craft. This monument was author ized by the congress of the old con federation in 1781, the year of the capitulation of Lord Cornwall!, but, for want of funds nothing was done untill one hundred years after wards, when the Congress of thirty-eight American Slates, representing 50, 000,000 freemen and not one slave, revived the act of 1781 and made what is hoped to prove ample pro visions for carrying out the plan of one hundred years ago. The immediate B'ene of all these iniodng ceremoniis, of which we can not speak in detail, is a drowsy little village low down on the Vir ginia peninsula, which presents to day hardly any more signs of human energy than it did a century ago when the event which these transac tions commemorate occurred. While all the rest of America has been moving with railroad speed, the Virginia peninsular lias remained on a dead stand, Yorktown, if possible, stiller than the rest. But this little symbol of business stagnation is the center of heroic struggles in battle by water and by land, whose results have been grander in their influence tor good upon human society in two worlds than Marauthon ond Salami, TlMpan and Zama, Trafalgar, Water loo and all the famed historical bai lies said to have been decisive in changing or establishing civilizations and forms of government. On all sides within a radius of fifty miles from Yorktown are fields wherein human intelligences higher and braver than those of Athens and Peloponnesus met ea-di other in mor tal conflicts which have shed immor tality upon the ground. To the right, facing toward the sea, is Hampton Roads where the memorable struggle between the confedeiale ram Merimau and the Monitor, in the spring of 18G2, in less than one hour- changed the u holt system of naval warfare and furnished a bill of condemnation against every wooden armed ship afloat on the seas ot the world. Insignificant as this victory was by comparison with subsequent naval engagements of the same war, yet in point of influence the victories of Themisloeles or Nel son are nothing. Above and further on about Cold Harbor and Spottsyl vania, every mile, every clump of woods, every slope and It'll and ravine have wit nessed such conflicts as regarded eilher, for the principles at stake or the mere physical force eDeaeed. throw all the historical baiih-s of Gresks against Persians, Romans against Carthegeuians, or Christians against Moslems into contempt. i Looking southward towards Peters burg and Ap,oina'iox, the eye lights upon a scene of the final struggles ot a giant rebellion which gave birth to a new nation, com tared with whose prospects, already last approaching realization, the grandest empires and republics of antiquity assume by comparison the dwarfed proportions of a Gulliver in Brobiliugag. It is, then not in angry, or illnn tnred or illumed spirit, toward En gland that this victory is being com memorated after the lapse ot a centu ry, for in reality the triumph of the colonies at Saratoga and Yorktown was ;n fact a triumph of the British constitution over the aspirations ol despotism seeking the ruin of British as well as American liberties. And but for the stern opposition of our (Wend in Parliament, our fathers would have linen crushed by the weight of military power before Washington crushed Coruwallis at Yorktown. THE PURCHASE CF CCNFEDEATE BONDS BY NORTHERN CAPITALISTS, T ate dispatches indicate unmistakt -ably that northern capital is being in vested in confederate bonds. Brokers in New York last week telegraphed to Memphis bankers to send all thai could be obtained for $2 for each one thousand dollar?, and the Firs; National Oank of that place respond ed by sending to them two hundred and thirty thousand dollars. Thif is a matter about which the American people may do well to re fleet. It undoubtedly is of much importance to them. For the simple reason that capital never seeks an investment, without a return much in excess of the original investment, i expected. The parties who are making these investments no doubt expect to reap a handsome profit by so doir.g. How do they expect t gain this profit! Do they expect i hold them until the political status of the presidr-nt and both houses ol eon fir reus suits them and then lore those bonds to be paid out of tin United States treasury? Or were these bonds issued by the souther l confederacy and guaranteed by th sta'es, or some of them forming that confederacy, in such a way that they expect to draw upon these individual stales to pay them? It appears very evident that it i calculated to pursue one or the other of these methods. Either one is bad enough, and the American people should commence iu time so as to be able to completely dtstroy such an infamous scheme. It may be said by some that: he southern people have long ago abandoned the idea of hav ing these bonds paid. This may be. Hut a Question never Decora es si completely cast aside that it can not again be revived, and when northern capital becomes invested in these bonds it will no longer be a southern question, but it will then assume the worst possible shape;, for in addition to its being a southern question ii will be urged on and pressed forward by northern capitalists. TEUGR&h S, .Does Corvallis Deserve a Telegrph Office in the Business part of Town. Says the Standard : In passing along Second street yesterday we noticed a popu lar physician and well known undertaker, both plump jolly fellows, sitting on opposite sides of a table in the office of the latter, and apparently enjoying themselves hugely, while "coffins stood round like open presses." The reflections suggested ly their hillari ty were not pleasant ones anf thoughts of the present unhealthy weather and of the health of the city obtruded themselves on our minds. We hear that arrangements are leing made to give all white employees of the Oregon Pacific a free sapper at the various cimps on Wednesday next, in honor of Col. Hogg's return to Oregon, The business of Corvallis is rapid ly growing. Her business men from necessity much of the time have to avail themselves of the use oi'iIk telegraph ill doing business with men at a distance. I his class ot butane is no doubt increasing more rapidly than any other in Corvallis. At the present time the nearest telegraph office is situated at the West Side- railroad depot, quite three-foiinhs of a mile from the business part of town. This slate ot affairs is very iiicouvt nient and tiouHesonie, sometimes causing much delay. This lb ret -fourths of a mile has to be traveled before a message can be sent, or else the party has to take the risk of for warding the message to the depot by means of the telephone. If a message should be mistaken by the telephone company, or incorrectly repeated, the telegraph company could not be held responsible for such mistakes. Olteii limes these messages involve thou sands of dollars, and it does seem (hat our town should be more con veniently supplied with a lelegraph office. The Willame'le Fanner says: Du ring a late visit up the valley we were much interested in observing the great enthusiasm felt;'.n the up per counties for the improvement ot Vaquina Bay ami construct ion of the Oregon Pacific road. One great reason, it seems, that there is such an intense feeling in this direction, is be cause they believe Portland to be more the enemy than the friend ol the producers ot the country. Pro duction always views with distrust riches that are created by it, and while the producers of Oregon feel the slim of hard times and pressure very often of debt, they ste that Port land crows rich all the time, by ihe tribute ex.eted of them, and shows no liberality of treatment in reiurn. Theie are many things that cap it at can safely do to encourage pro duction, but where Portland capital l as even attempted to aid the produ cer is a difficult question. We sub mit the case, without argument, for consideration of Portland capitalists. There is a remark aide coincidence in the deaths of three generations of the Garfield family. Thomas Garfield, the grandfather of the President, died suddenly wnile a young man, leaving a widow and babe. That babe was Abram Garfield, who died as suddenly in 1833, leaving a widow and four young children, the baby being James Abram Garfield, whose untimely death the nation mourns. Labor is scarce iu the farming di -tricts of-Ncw England. Unskilled la bor is in better demand iu Boston than for some years past. San Francisco, Oct. 13. About half past three this afternoon a fire broke out in Upstoue's blacksmith shop on Spear street, between Mission and Howard, and almost instantly communicated to the California planning mill, corner of Howard. This building covered a 50 vara lot tilled with most combustible material, and was in a few moments a mass of fire. The loss on the California mill, owned by W. J. Adams, is $60,000. Wigmiwe'a loss is about the taste, insured for 26,000. Other losses will prob ably bring the aggregite up for 150,000 The Spear street fire is still burning, but the flames are confined to the limits pre viously given. San Franci-co, Oct. 13. Tu. son dispatch: Reports from cattle ran;es south of Tucson say: Two Mexican herders were killed on Tuesday and eleven woundod. Indians were seen iu the vicinity of Sanford's ranch. Dublin. Oct. 13. Parnell was arrested on two warrcnts, signed by Forster, chief secretary for Irelaa I. charging him with inciting people and intimidating ofhers from paying their just rent, and intimidating ten ants taking the benefit of the land act. London, Oct. 13. A dispatch from Tunis says 5000 Fretich troops w left Susa to reconnoitie the road to Kairwan while halting at Hendra were attacked by 5000 Arabs, who compelled the French to retire to Susa, owing to want of provisions and water. New York, Oct. 12. John Kelly at the meeting at Tammany hall tonight declared that although they were rejected and to some extent humilliated, they were deter mine 1 to bow to the decision of the conven tion and would give the state ticket their entire support. Boston, Oct. 13. P. A. Collins, president of the land league of the United States, im mediately on receipt of the news of Parnell's arrest sent the following cablegram to the executive in Dublin: Boston, Mass., Oct. 13 Sexton Land League. Dublin: Parnell's arrest is Gladstone's blunder. Parnell in prison must be the strongest force of the land league. Continue his policy, stand firm and keep cool, The British game has always been to crush agitation iu Ireland by provoking civil war. Defeat it. Be pa tient, as you have been bold. The American league will redouble its work and stand by you to the end. Washington, Oct, 13. The department of state is informed that the expected defi it in the wheat crop of France will be 58,0i0, 000 bushels, which must be supplied mainly from the United States, the crops of neigh boring countries being far from what was anticipated. '1 he wheat crop of Algeria is in a deplorable condition. Washington, Oct. 13. If the amount of ,14s received for payment does not reach five millions by the hour of closing the de partment on Monday, 'bonds sufficient to make up the deficiency will be accepted for redemption in order of subsequent receipt. Washington, Oct. 14, The day for be ginning the trial of Guiteau is set for Nov. 7th. The question of jurisdiction will be determined prior to October 30th. Washington, Oct. 14. The President has sent the following nominations in: Capt. John G. Walker, ot Iowa, chief of the bureau of navigation ol the navy depart ment: Win. C Rannmiss, U. S.

Dillon win preside. Dublin. Oct, 14. Orders have been re ceived at Limjrick t c n:i e t:ie ur o n to barracks uutil further orders, as great ex citement exists there owing to ParnaU's arrest. Dillon announces an indignation meeting to be held in the rotund . to-d iv. The lord mayor elect said it w -s strange the arrest of Parnell should have been pre ceded by an outburst of passion w;uc i had bsgusteu even Gladstone s warmest lneu Is in Ireland. He believed the most effectual weapon left to the league to avenge the ar rest of Parnell was to continue organization on exactly the same line. The league re gard the arrest of Parnell as an act of the malignant personal spite t Gladstone, ami are urging the people to abide by the prin ciples of the recent convention. Dublin. Oct. 14 Dillon said this was the most trying and critical moment that had occurred in their history during the present century. He sai l the statement that Par nell had intimidated the people was false. He (Dillon) defied anybody to point to a speach of Parnell in favor of intimidation. His arrest was due to private malice. It was the duty of the nation to deal with the matter cooly and with judgement' and to maintain the struggle within the law. The Cork bianch of the land league passed reso lutions denouncing the govcrnmeut. Columbus, Oct. 15, Complete but un official returns from the entire state show republican gains of 11,446. and a democrat ic gain of 5'i8i- Net republican gain 50.17.

Mahone said to-day the dueling refunders would be at- tended to atter tne election, no nau re solved not to be forced into personal difficulties and had advised his readjuster friends to take the same course.

The Gazotre publishes a ro lamation singed by Forster, chief secretary, warning persons gniity of intimi dating others not to pay reuts, or coercing the " to abandon their lawful employment, or to join the land league, will be liable to arrest. New York, Oct. 15. Patrick Egan, treas urer of the Irish national land league, telegraphs from Paris: "We call upon every Irish nationalist and every friend of liberty, justice and humanity, to stand by us in the coming crhis. Although further arrests and even wholesale slaughter of the Irish people is determined by the Gladstone min istry, our banner will be borne onward" Landlordism is doomed, and British rule -in Ireland has seen the beginning of ".ts en t. London, Oct- 15. The Times says: Glad stone can afford to disregard the taunt which is certain to be flung at him, that Parnell's arre3t was due to offensive personalities. In this ruling of law there is no fear the cabinet will not receive hearty and un wavering support from every party in the three kingdoms. The right of arrest is only denied here and there by a few associations, wnich habitually mistake license for liberty. The United Ireland, organ of the league, publishes an article headed "Parnell Gar roted." which states that Saxon cowardice has done its worst. A warrant has been issue 1 for the arrest of Hurley. There is great activity among Irish organizations in London, and ci culars are d.strihute'J urg ing organization of meetings. Chicago, Oct. 15. A meeting of the pres idents of the various Irish associations in this city was hld to-night to make arrange ments for the mass meeting which has been postponed until Monday next.

Steinway hall was crowded to-night at the reception of T. P. O'Connor , member of Parliament and dele gate from Ireland, to the laud league of America. Ten thousand people struggled for admission into the hall, which will only hold 2500. When O'Connor was presented, men and women rose to their feet, and there was such waiving of hats and handk rchiefs and vociferous cheering, that many minutes passed betore U ( on nor could make aodih.e a single a tt -ranee. Quiet being me surably restored, O'Connor 8 lid, "I wai tnie they had imprisoned t aruell, their leader and ad vocate, a mau who hail entered into the tight, though a landlord himself, for the simple purpose of seeing -justice done to an oppressed people. It is true he is imprison ed, but the British government, it' they wish to confine every leader and supporter of the movement, would need every jail in the world, and would not then have room enough in which o confine the prisoners. Neither could the present action of the government stamp out the strong feeling which animated the hearts of old Ireland)) sons, and the movement was even strong enough to defy all the powers and authority of England." En thusiastiS cheers. 1 O'Couner concluded by asking all present to give their heartfelt support to the move ment. Ur. JJiUon Egau, associate of O Con nor, men mane a snort address, and was followed by Mrs. Parnell, mother of the Irish agitator, and by other persons promi nent in the movement. O Connor and Egan at the close were visited at their hotel by many representatives of the land league. As Mrs. Parnell appeared on the stage in steinway nau a reception rarely eoualle i w u tendered. It was some time before she could control her emotion. Sue than'ied the audience for the kind reception an 1 sympathy with her son's imprisonment. 8h-j thought he was almost at the consuma- tiou of his labors and his aims, and would be a material benulit to the cause which he advocated, She herself would return to England and keep her sou company in con finement for the sake of their mother conn try.

That mau was Koscoe Con ling, the story is that the president was anxious to have Conkliug accept the treisury portfolio, and that Coukfing. while not aosolut-jy declining, advised the president that it w ould be far better t appoint someone else. New York, Oct. 16. A special from Uticasays: Conkliug who has .oceu unwe.l for some time is reported unable to leave his room. New York, Oct. 11. An nrgonization is said to exist in Oyster Bay, L.

Tne secretary wrote that he thought it was due to those retiring that all should be treated alike and permit ted to go out at the same time. He intima ted in the letter that he would g adly be relieved at once, and that his desire shonld receive as much consideration as that of any cabinet officer. rOBVALLIS Livery, Feed, AN ALE STABLE.
