FRIDAY MORNING, SEPT. 8, 18S2. Entered at the Postofficc at Corvallis, Oregon, as second-class matter. -EDITED BT- M. S. WOODCOCK, ATTORNEY- AT LAW. OFFICIAL PAPER FOR BENTON COUNTY, THS LEGI3LATUSE. . Before another issue ot tins paper ap pears the Oregon Legislature of 1882 wil have convened and questions momentous to us all, and some of interest to the United States at large -will arise for determination and settlement. Faom the tone of the press Generally for the past few weeks it would seem that thr chief question deemed of im portance is the election of U. S. Senator. We do not disguise onr own feeling in this matter, namety, that the choice of the Ore gon Legislature should fall on one combin ing many requisites. First, he should be a Republican of unddubted consistency. We name the Republicanism iirst, because many a man can be found, we are thankful to Bay possessing other needful qualities, so the Republican majority has the right, and dnty, of selecting one in full sympathy with the principles of the great party to which we are croud to own allegiance. Next, his character for pure and honorable conduct in all departments of life, public and private, must be above reproach. Our Legislators owe it to themselves and to their constitu nts, that none shall represent Oregon in Congress whose doubtful antecedents need .aploy and explanation before the noblest and best of the Senators there can shake him cordially by the hand. More over, his previous life must have proved his fitness to manage and govern men and af fairs with honesty, wisdom and success. He must be independent in every sense, his in spiration must come from a real sense of duty to our State at large and not from i public or private retainer for any man clique, ring, city or corporation. This in dependence too, must be so true and com plete that the people may rely on the new Senator's influence on the filling of offices and appointments in the future being based on the fitness of the appointee for the office to be filled and not in payment of debts of gratitude for favors in the canvass now in nil blast, and the public record of the man i chosen as Senator must faithfully -agree with the professions he now makes. We put no truth in sudden conversions here. We have no faith that the election to the U. S. Senate works a deep and abiding change in the in ner nature, and life long conduct of a man it a man De clever, plausible, insincere, ac cessible to influences, favorable to certain individual interests, and enterprises and to the general neglect of a duty to the state at large, corrupt or impure In life or man ner, or recreant to political principles, that character, that history, he will carry with him to Washington if Salem lightning strikes him. The lives and characters of the candidates prominently before the peo pie are all pretty well known. Newspaper praise and newspaper abuse would alike pass very lightly by the Legislator who so berly and earnestly determined to do his duty by his country and by the State. Deeds not words should be the record to be con sulted. If in the application of the princi ples here laid down it shall be fonnd that J. N. Dolph, Geo. H. Williams, J. H. ' Mitchell, W. Lair, Hill, R. P. Boise or any otf.-e- candidates prominently spoken of cr vlo may hereafter be brought before the Legislature for that important position, cannot stami iii test, or if it is thought any of them if elected will not perform the duties of United States Senator with equal justice to each and every portion of the State alike, most assuredly pass them by and seek some other material better adapted to perform the people's will. Let, at any rate, the Benton county members know and feel that for a bold and honest performance of their duty their constituents will hold them to a strict account, and will accept no apology on the eround of Portland or ring influence. The Valley members have got to stand together, and quit themselves like men. The Valley has reason to-day to be proud of the members she is sending, for they are at least the equals in character, ability and education of any whom they ex pect to meet. Let thera insist in plain, thorough, courteous terras on their rightful share ot power in the Legislature, and they will get it this time, if they have never be fore attained it. THE IIOETHEEN PACIFIC. We call our readers' special attention to the extract we print below from the New York World of Aug. 24th. It would be a strange, but not an impossible, turn for affairs to take if the great Mr. Villard were to prove another instance of the "engineer hoist with his own petard," for, clearly, great as he is he is not powerful enough to change, by becoming its owner, the essen tial character of the property he bought. If the eighteen millions of stock in Mr. Billings' hands was tainted and fraudulent, and so Mr. Villard swore it was, it could . . Mir 1 not wcome clean and honest by his hand ling it and if by bnying-fraudulent stock and.hen voting on it Mr. Villard become the moving spirit and mastej of the North ern Pacific no wonder that the suits were stopped, the whole business hushed up, the accusing counsel silenced, and the very press itself gagged, for there was the where with all to do it. The plunder truly was great, the moving cause a mighty one. Bearing in mind the strong probability that in some form or other Congress will have to adjudi cate in these affairs we would again impress on the Benton county members of the Ore gon Legislature their sacred duty to avoid the smallest chance of sending to congress a Senator who may be run, or "controlled'' by Mr- Villard, the Northern Pacific, the O. R. & N. C. or any other railroad mag nate or corporation. The New York World of last Aug. 24th comments as follows : In April, 1881, The World reported two injunction suits as pending before - Judge i opeir ana Judge fjiatcntorcl in behaJi other against Mr. Fredrick Billings and his associates of the same company. These suit3 were brought to prevent the issue of eightsen million of alleged fradulent stock and the doing of a large number of other alleged fradulent acts. A most pungent attack was made by Jlr. Emott (who held the brief of Mr. YiltaTCs attorneys) on these alleged frauds during an argument in which he did not spare the defendants. Then came Mr- Shipman, doing battle for the de fendants with great ingenuity and force, and Mr. Joseph Choate followed with a very plain-spoken arraignment of Mr. Billings and Ins colleagues. The report of the controversy-filled several columns of The World. All this was in a State court. As to the soft in the Federal court, no argnments on the meiits have ever been heard. Nor iu either suit has the press since been called upen to report further progress. Why not ? Because pending the decision Mr. Villard and Mr. Billings appear to have settled the controversy by Mr. Villard's becoming the purchaser in whole or iu part of this issue of common stock alleged by him to be fraud ulent. The quiet possession of this stock would give Mr. Villard and those who acted with him the control of the Northern Pacific road. Clearly, therefore, the question be comes interesting. Was there a fraud 7 On the hearing before Judge Speir Mr. Villard's affidavit was read in support of an injunc tion in which he swore thatJhe stock pro posed to be issued to the extent of eighteen millions of dollars was a fraud both upon the company and the public, and that if issued and distributed to Mr. Billings and his associates it would be without consider ation, as the company was not to receive a single dollar for it, and that in addition to this the company, as then reorganized, had no power to issue these eighteen millions of TOmnon stock, whether any consideration was paid for it to the company or not. Un der the settlement what seems to have hap pened ? Mr. Villard nnder the settlement became interested in the control, and the public eventually became the purchasers of stock which Mr. Villard had previously satisfied himself, np to what lawyers call "the oath-point." was fradnlent. Who owns the tainted stock now ? Who has profited by its distribution 1 Must there not have been another and a very, very "blind pool" in the transaction ? Possibly it may occur to our esteemed contemporary the Commer cial Advertiser to unite with The World in asking why the proper committee of the Stock Exchange looks with indifference if not with complacency on the circulation of snch tainted stock. There may he a divin ity th.tt doth hedge the disreputable stock trans ic-tions ot a Governor, but what divin ity hedges Mr. Villard 7 While the tendency of the Gazette, for many years has been republican in politics, yet we want it distinctly understood that its columns are open, to any reasonable ex tent, for a fair discussion of all politica views no matter whether Independent Greenback, Republican, Democratic, as ell as any other question of nublic importance. To this end we invite con tributions on the different views of all po litical and public questions. The course of the Oregonian towards John H. Mitchell and especially in garbling and attempting to mislead as to the course of that gentleman while in the United States Senate, is certainly and most assuredly cal culated to be ot benefit to his reelection rather than harm. While we are not the champion of any persons claims for that position, because there are many men in Oregon who would do well for our ' State if elected, each of whose claims are perhaps equally merritorions, and while Mr. Mitchell is not first choice with us, yet if a person is beaten for so important a position by the seeming selfish harangues like the Oregonian makes use of, it would certainly be much more satisfactory to see them conform to the truth and not try to mislead in those things regarding so recent a career in the U. S. Senate and of which the record there m.ihes familiar to every one. The Oregonian has certainly ontlived its usefulness in pro mulgating truth for which newspapers and the press generally have been deemed of so much benefit to the human family. That Join nal of late years seems to deem it of more importance to scatter broadcast the petty matters of bate, spite, and misrepre serrations of its editor, Mr. Scott, with the vehemence of a demon rather than to dis seminate truth.

The reception to the widow of John Brown, the liberator, at Farwell hall to-night in connection with the effort to raise money to buy her home stead m California, was attended by about 1000 persons. The address of the evening was delivered by State Attorney Luther Latin Mills. 1 he net receipts from the reception to Mrs. John Brown last night was 821 1. Galveston, An. 31. Austin special: The governor has received a message from the county judge of Hidalgo stating that yellow fever was spreading in ranches above Brownsville on the American side of the Rio Grande. San Francisco, Sept. 1. The old bark Dublin, from Seabeck with lumber, is ashore on the beach south of Cliff house and likely to remain there. The british bark Isle of Anglesea drifted on Arch rock last night in a dense fog. She was got off this morning by tugs and taken to the sea wall looking badly. Sacramento, Aug. 31. When the rail road plank was reached Parks offered an amendment striking out the clauses relative to reduction of rates of the contract system and interstate regulation by congress. A long debate ensued. Parks and Johnson of Sacramento, spoke in favor of the amend ment and Knight of San Francisco, op posed it. McFarland favored the amend ment and Chamberlain opposed it . Shafter, of Marion, consent of the chair man and convention made a few corrections in the phraseology of the railroad plank, and Pixley, of San Francisco, asked Shafter as a lawyer whether it was possible for a court or legislature to provide against cor porations making contracts with merchants. Shafter replied that it would be lawful for the legislature to declare such a contract illegal and not to be enforced. New York, Sept. 2. For a long time the Chicago, Burlington ft Quincy Railroad has been using its utmost endeavors to get control of the Hanibal ft St. Joe railway, but without success. The controlling inter est is represented by about 90,000 shares of stock and wa3 held by John R. Duff, of Boston, and though the Chicago, Burling- $63 a share for it he declined to take it Philadelphia, Sept. 2, Dr. E, 0. Shakes. peare of this city, Dr. S, J. W. Arnold of New York and Dr. J. C. McCornell of Washington, surgeons engaged in examining Guiteau's brain, met to-day and decided to issue a report showing results next week. The report will have no referance to Guit eau's sanity. It will be a comprehensive statement of the condition of the brain and nature of its disease, if any. Wheeling, Sept. 3. The grand jury of the United States circuit court for West Vargiuia at Parkersburg, yesterday, brought in a presentment of manslaughter against Inspector Young for granting a permit to the steamer Scioto to carry more passengers than authorized by law; also against David Keller, pilot of Scioto, and Capt. Inglebright and pilot Long of the Lomas. Washington, Sept. 2. Secretary Lincoln is more amused than annoyed at the frantic endeavor of certain persons to break up the President's cabinet and furnish the execu tive a new set of officers. In conversation with a friend, Lincoln took occasion to re fer to the talk abont the impending cabinet changes, and expressed himself freely and emphatically saying there was the greatest good feeling and cordiality between the President and each member of the cabinet, and all talk about a cabinet break-np was not only unfounded bnt absurd. If Secre tary Folger is nominated for governor of New York he will probably resign, but if bo should not be nominated there is not the slightest likelihood of a change in the treas ury department. The object of Teller s visit to Colorado was to attend the mining exposition at Denver and as a prospective successor to Senator Cbilcott. One of his friends says Teller has no idea of leaving the cabinet to enter the senatorial race, for had such beou his desire he would not have left the senate to enter the cabinet. The rumor that Postmaster General Howe is to withdraw from the cabinet is fully as im probable as any other suggested. Dublin, Sept. 2. It is stated that in event of terms not being made with the authorities four or five hundred policemen have arranged to sail in a special steamer to Queensland. The men say that 500 men of the Royal Irish Constabulary have re fused to do duty in Dublin, and that they have received a telegram on the part of the entire body of the constabulary, stating they will not do duty in Dublin while the difficulties of the metropolitan forces re main unsettled. Alexandria, Sept. 3. A meeting was held Friday to consider the position of the September and October contracts for cotton and seeds. It has been found impossible, in the present state of the eonntry, to make deliveries in those months, and a commission of principal merchants and bankers is formed to ascertain the exact position of the market and report within 14 days. New cotton should be arriving now, but the crop of 1882 is behind and deficient, owing to the absence of labor and irrigation, and under the most favorable circumstances a large deficiency is expected and reported. San Francisco, Sept. 2. M. M. Estee, republican nominee for governor, and most of the other candidates were met by about 2000 people at the ferry on their arrival this evening, and escorted with music and fireworks to the Palace hotel. The candi dates addressed the crowd briefly from the balcony of the court, which was handsome ly decorated for the occasion. Plumbers and gasfitters met to-night to organize a strike for $4 a day, but deferred action until the next meeting a few days hence. Port Townsend, W. T., Sept. 3. Re publican primaries held last night in Jeffer son, Clallam and San Juan counties were virturally unanimous in favor of T. T. Minor for delegate to congress. In the largest primary ever held in Port Townsend all but three votes were in his favor. Springfield, Sept. 2. 1 he area of mead ows, as returned by the assessors to the state board of agriculture, is the largest heretofore reported, and is 2,629,000 acres The hay crop is generally saved in good condition, but the quality is not the best, being rather rank. Total yield, 4,389,000 tons, 345.000 tons more than in 1878, which was the largest crop recorded. Memphis, Tenn., Sept. 4. A duel is im minent between Gen. Chalmers and Van H. Manning, candidates for congress. Both spoke at Holly Springs in joint debate. Manning spoke last and made a scathing review of Chalmers' record. Both re mained at Holly Springs Sunday with mes sengers passing back and forth, Chalmers demandiug a full retraction. Thomas Har ris represented Chalmers and Edward Wat son was Manning's friend. Rumors of t duel gain credit from the fact that both failed to appear at the place appointed for to -day s debate. New York, Sept. 4. The Nickle rauroaa management nave decided on an aggressive policy against the Lake Shore and will demand of it a good share of the Buffalo and Chicago traffic and if not grant ed war will be waged. Sherman, Texas, Sept. 4. Hon. Geo. R. Reives, late speaker of the honse of repre sentatives, is at the point of death from hydrophobia. Washington, Sept. 4. The first of the 3 per cent, bonds were issued from the treasury this afternoon. Chicago, Sept. 4 A special from Colum bia says a row of mammoth proportions has developed in the democratic -state com mittee, which bids fair to change the entire plan of conducting the campaign. It has been the custom to hold a meeting every Thursday, but the only member who re sponded at the last meeting was Mr. Hall, oi Lima, xne original plan ot the cam paign in organization of the committee was to divide the state for work and allow each member control of the funds to conduct his section of the state. Last week the com mittee got possession of some $20,000, and Chairman Thompson appropriated some for general purposes and use of the committee at headquarters. Other members became dissatisfied and refused to have anything further to do with the campaign, and it is now learned that the liquor men refuse to turn over any funds to the committee and will spend their own money. They gay they will work for the state ticket, bnt are making a fight particularly for congressmen and will use money in" the close districts They expect to have sixteen members in the next congress to the republicans' five. the delegates now standing fifteen to five in favor of the republicans, one district hav ing been added. Liquor men say the state tax cannot be put on at any rate before 1883 and they want to control the national tax and get the internal revenue reduced. Glenser, a member of the committee identi fied with the liquor interests, has with drawn and taken up with the other side and says Thompson sees no other resource for funds and is hanging on to what he has got. It is nrged against him that he has commenced laying wires for Pandleton in the senatorial contest this early in the cam paign, which is creating much dissatisfac tion. London, Sept. 4. The times sayB though General Wolseley does not reqnire a third division the government is determined to strengthen his hands by sending three battalions of infantry so Gen. Wood may be set free without leaving a garrison of less than 5000 at Alexandria. Alexandria, sept. 4. ine uneasiness among the Europeans is nnabated, and sen sational rumors of every kind are circulated to-night. A report that the French consul general had asked for transports to remove the French subjects has proved to be un true. The British military authorities have mapped the town into districts connec by telephone, and they feel satisfied this will enable them to quell any unforseen outbreak. At 5 o'clock this evening Eng lish heavy guns near Cairo railway began shelling Arabi Pasha's camp. The enemy replied, their shells falling within 10 yards of Fleming depot in Rameleh lines. Two more British gnns joined in the fire, where upon a lively cannonade ensued. The my continued in excellent practice, all their shells falling close to the British camp. Water in the canal broke through the dam to-day and is one and a half metres high -Alexandria, aept. 4. a UreeK who re cently arrived from Cairo, gives a gloomy account of the situation there. He fears when Arabi is defeated he will destroy ' the city. He estimates at Cairo only -1000 troops, who will join in pillaging the city at the first opportunity. He says Circassians are maltreated whenever seen in the streets in Cairo. St. Petersburg, Sept. 4. English agents have arrived at Odessa to purchase 28,000 head of sheepand cattle for their troops in Egypt. Alexandria. Sept. 4. The man-of-war Minotaur is shelling the rebel lines because of threatening demonstrations made by the enemy from Maudra. San Frncisco, Sept. 4. Claus Spreckles having obtained the fee simple from the Hawaiian government of the territory of Wailukn, the harbor of Wahului will short ly have from five to ten thousand men at work prodncing sugar. Reno, Sept. 4. The chairman of the re publican central committee called the re publican state convention to order at noon in the theater. New York, Sept. 5. Conkling now op poses the candidacy of Secretary Folger. Out of 89 delegates thus far chosen 30 are for Cornell and 28 for Folger. The great labor demonstration to-day was successful. Folly 150 organizations were represented and 20,000 men in line. Newport. Sept. 5. President Arthur re mains on board the yacht in East river. He spent yesterday in fishing. Little Rock, Sept. 5. The election passed off quietly in all portions of the state heard from, dispatches showing an unusually large vote. The democratic state ticket is evi dently elected by about the usual majority. Memphis, Tenn., Sept. 5. An Avalanch's Helena, Ark., special claims lhe election there to-day was carried by bulldozing in the face of 2000 republican majority. It says leading citizens assured Gov. Churchill every man'wontd vote as he wished and have the vote eonnted. The governor ap pointed J. C. Barlow commander of the military, and when, telegraphed as to what was going on did not reply. One negro was John P. Taylor, candidate for county clerk, was abused at the court bouse and made to give up his tickets. Jndge Bennett and Jacob Taylor were treated in a similar man ner and notified to go home. After most of the negroes had gone home the democrats endeavored to get some few that remained in town to vote, saying .they did not wish the impression to get out that they w not allowed to vote. Columbus, Sept. 5. The greenback labor state convention has 125 delegates, mostly colored. less wife, and her paramour and lost no time in boarding the steamer. The" three persons met on the steamer a , few minutes before the lines were cast off, and husband and lover drew pistols on sight and were preparing to commence in genuine "cowboy" style, when Capt. Bolles rushed up and finally took the weapons from the beliger ents. The woman refused to leave her lover and the husband refused to leave the wife, so all three left on the steamer. Capt. Bolle3 told them that if they renewed hos tilities on the ship he would place the trio in irons. The affair occasioned a very exciting scene among the passengers and spectators, and a lively time is anticipated when the parties reach Portland. San Francisco, Sept. 5. In the case of one of the alleged Chinese merchants who arrived here on the steamer Rio Janeiro from Panama and who was not permitted t land, Judge Field in the United States cir cuit court to-day decided that merchants coming from countries other than China may land without certificates.
