OFFICIAL PAPER FOR BENTON COuriTY
BILL TO CHANGE TIME OF HOLDING SU
PREME COURT.
A bill lias not, that wo are aware
of yet, passed the legislature chang
ing the time for holding the Supreme
court to commence about the middle
of December and July of each year
instead of as at present. Such a law
is much needed and should be looked
after, else the time of the legislature
will pass away and no such change
be accomplished,
... . A GOOD EILL.
A bill has passed both houses of
the legislature changing the time of
convening the legislature to about
the first of January instead of as
heretofore. The bill is one which
there has long been a necessity for
and one which the people will highly
appreciate and wonder why it was
that such a change was not enacted
before. This is one of the bills which
the Gazette has for some time been
suggesting that there was a necessity
for. And we believe the first paper
to advocate such change.
CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR OF NEW VORK.
Judge Folger of New York is the
Boss Conkling nominee for the re
publican governor of that state.
While Mr. Folger has generally been
considered quite an able and consis
tent republican, yet his nomination
is the result of Conkling issue which
most of the republican party are in
clined to repudiate because of their
being tired of individuals dictating
themselves into office regardless of
the consequences to the parly or
public good. The republicans of
that state have succeeded in carrying
the state and no doubt in the ab
sence of "Bossism" could continue to
i do so. Mr. Conkling may on ac
count of his interference pee his party
Buffer a "Waterloo" at the polls.
ELECTION OF U. S. SENATOR BY A DIRECT
VOTE OF THE PEOPLE.;
.remaps tne most proper and sue-
cespiui manner in wmcn most inor
oughly to place beyond the possibib
ities of such disgraceful scenes hap
pening at our several state legisla
tions as often occur at the times of
electing U. S. Senators, is to so change
the constitution that they shall be
elected by a direct vote of the people.
The majority of peopleare becoming
so thoroughly disgusted at the usual
performances antt undue influences
which are so often resorted to lor the
purpose of influencing legislotors on
this subject, that they are in favor,
irrespective of party, of such elections
being had by a direct vote of the
people. Such a change in the man
lier of electing United States Senator
. would be a good one and it would be
appreciated by the people who feel a
warm interest in the well being of
our goverment. Politicarhacks, of-
. fice seekers and place men would
however no doubt assemble in one
great army of lobyists to prevent
. such a change.
DISGRACE TO AMERICAN INSTITUTIONS
The American people and especi
ally the larger part of the republican
party are becoming tired and worn
out with political "bossism" and
"boss rule." The action of Mr.
Conkling before the New York leg
islature about a year ago in trying
to force the principle of "bossism"
upon that body in his own interests
and that of his confederate, both of
whom had resigned their positions in
the United States senate because
president Garfield would not submit
to the "boss rule" which they were
trying to dictate to him, was au ever
lasting shame and disgrace to Amer
ican politics. There was, however,
a sufficient amount of opposing in
fluence in that legislature to break
the back-bone of that effort to put
forth "Giant Cockling Cameron"
"boas'ism," hg New York. Pensyl
varya.has also been undergoing a
similar disgraceful experience, where
in an attempt has been made to
make the republicans of that state
submit to Cameron "bossism." It
seems to be not an uncommon afflic
tion, Already a similar malady has
.been, communicated to the Pacifie
slope; f ..
- . It is thought by some to be neces
saryfor parties to be near at hand at
Salem with a large miscellaneous
by to convince a few legislators of
the person who is best fitted for their
votes for United States senator. One
would suppose from all the noble
things heard about our American
institutions and liberties that a body
of legislators were thoroughly cora-
uetent when uninfluenced and unmo-!
lested to correctly judge of those
qualified for the position of United
States senator without the assistance
of a large loby to instruct them.
The present contest going on at
Salem where an extensive loby is
found for 'the purpose of dictating
the legislators to vote in the interests
ofjrtaiu im f-r senator, is most
certainly a disgrace to American in
stitutions, and it also certainly per
petuates a principle which if carried
out is thoroughly subversive of re
publican institutions.
It would seem that the law most
beneficial for the legislature of Ore
gon as well as of other states to pass
is on making it a highly penal
offence for any man or set of men to
appear in or about any legislative
assembly in the capacity of lobyists
or for the purpose either by their
word or presence of in any manner
influencing the action of any
legislator. Until some such laws
are passed and thoroughly enforced
the theory that we have a free people
governed by a free republican form
of government will exist only in
theory and continue to be a farce
upon such form of government. If
every man in each state who is just
as well qualified as any other to
become senator should appear at the
legislature of this state with their
horde of lobyists and place men and
ofhee seekers to influence the legis
lature each in his own behalf and thus
prevent that body from devoting
their time to questions of necessary
legislation it would certainly present
a beautiful spectacle for the will of
the dear people being exercised un
trameled and uninfluenced by their
representatives. Shame on such
proceedings.
SAND BARS AND MUD FLATS AGAIN.
The steamers plying from San
Francisco to Portland for some time
past it seems have met with much
difficulty in getting up the Willam
ette river to Portland. We have
heard of several oocasions recently
when the boats run on sand bars a
short distance below Portland and
were compelled to unload passengers
before proceeding farther. The route
should be impvoved so as to accomo
date the growing commercial inter
ests of the State. It is rather singu
tar that the "only "newspaper" don't
take on a big gust of wind and blow
the obstructions to atoms and there
by permit shipping to proceed nn
molested.
James
Tns Notorious Desperado, Frank
Surrenders Himself.
Kansas City, Oct. 5. Frank James sur
rendered to Governor Chittenden at Jeffer
son City, at 5 o'clock this evening, and will
be brought here to-morrow morning and
delivered to the Jackson county authorities.
Governor Crittenden telegraphs that the
officers will leave to-nisrht with their pris
oner. Officials here express some surprise
at James' action, as no overtures had been
made on their part towards his surrender.
They think Frank became discouraged,
having in various ways lost all his old con
federates, and concluded it useless to at
tempt longer to live i n outlawry, preferring
to truet to leniency of law in voluntarily
giving himself up.
A St. Louis special from Jefferson City
says, when Frank James surrendered to
Governor Chittenden he handed him hiB
pistols, and said he was the only man, ex
cept himself, who had touched them for
twenty years.
He Bays he is prompted to the act through
consideration for his wife and children and
a desire to retire from the worid, to retrieve
his name from the shadow which has been
cast upon it, and through it upon the good
name of western Missonrians. He makes
the plea that he is not so bad as he has been
painted; that an outlaw has the thoughts
and impulses of a man and it is his desire
to return to the house of his parents, and
there with his family pass his days in peace
and thus gain the respect of hia fellow
men.
TELEORRMS.
Boston, Oct. 6. Two fine observations
have been obtained at Harvard observatory
of the comet, which almost definitely estab
lish it as one of brief periods. According
to present data it must travel at a rate of
400 miles a second. The fact that the sun's
atmosphere offers no check to its progress
proves it is uncombustible, unlike mete
orolites. Birmingham, N. H., Oct. 6. James G.
Blaine, who is stopping at York beach, was
reported very ill yesterday and the day
before, but was more comfortable last night
Washington, Oct. 6. Bulletins have been
issued from the census bureau giving statis
tics of the forestry of the states of California
and Oregon and Washington territory.
With regard to California, the bulletin says
the principal trees of the state are redwood,
red fir, tidewater spruce, chestnut and oak,
on the coast range, and sugar pine, yellow
pine and red fir on the Sierra Nevada. Any
estimate of the amount of lumber standing
in the state, except redwood, is impossible
with the knowledge of the country. The
total product of the state for the census
year was 304,795,000 feet of lumber, 242,
400,000 lath, 138,718,000 shingles, 2,063,000
staves, and 1,203,000 sets of headings.
In Oregon the most valuable trees as set
down are red fir, tide water spruce, red
cedar, hemlock, Port Orford cedar, white
oak, sugar pine, chestnut, oak, larch and
scrub pine. The principal lumber industry
centres are near Portland and Empire City.
The product of the coast region for the
census year was 151,443,000 feet of lumder.
17,950,000 laths, and 2,745,000 shingles,
and of the state east of the Cascade range,
25,793,000 feet of lumber, 295,000 laths,
and 2,295,000 shingles.
Washington territory, according to the
bulletin, is covered west Of the Cascade
mountains by the heaviest belt of forest
growth in the United States. The most
valuable trees of this region being red or
yellow fir, providing about seven-tenths of
the forest, red cedar, hemlock and tide
water spruce. East of the Cascades the
most valuable trees are fir, yellow and
white pine, larch, red cedar and ' hemlock.
The principal lumber industry is confined
to the shores of Puget sound. The product
of this region for the census year was 144,
387,000 feet of lumber, 6,550,000 laths, 710,
000 shingles and 2,366,000 staves. The
product of the coast outside of Puget sound
was 6,599,000 feet of lumber, and 200,000
shingles; and of the territory east of the
Cascade range 6,190,000 feet of lumber and
2,700,000 shingles.
San Francisco, Oct. 6. The American
shin Hargastown, which arrived here iast
night, 141 days from New York, reports
having encountered a cyclone on the 12th
Sent. The cale lasted Sh hours. Portions
of the rigging were carried away and seven
feet of water was in the hold at one time.
The vessel narrowly ' escaped foundering.
Capt. Pierce was washed overboard but was
rescued, and a number of the crew were
injured by falling spars.
Washington, Oct. 7. Attorney General
Brewster is expected Tuesday, when pro
ceedings will be inaugurated and pushed
vigorously in the star route bribary cases.
District Attorney Corkhill finished prelim
inary work on all papers that had been sent
to the department of justice tor use of the
attorney genet al. Absence of the parties
supposed to be implicated in approaches
made to jurors in the iuterest of the defense
has been the cause of considerable comment.
The opinion prevailent in Washington at
present is too warm for their comfort. The
opinion of officials at the department of
justice is that the government will have no
trouble in connecting several would-be jury
fixers, as the evidence taken before District
Attorney Corkhill is said to be most con
vincing. The star route men exhibit great
uneasiness and much anger over the fact
that the department of justice has decided
to take full charge of the jury bribery in
vestigation. The chief of the star route
organ opens it3 abuse of the attorney gen
eral to-day and others who are connected
with the effort to expose the attempt of
bribery.
JNew lork, Uct. . A vigorous ettort is
being made by prominent merchants and
capitalists to establish a sort of Mexican
exchange in this city, with a view to in
creasing our trade, and turn to a business
account the various new opportunities pre
sented by the opening up of the South
western and Mexican railway system. A
movement of a similar character has lately
been undertaken at New Orleans, but the
lack of capital and other necessary facilities
there is more than an offset to the ad van
tages of geograpical proximity. An agent
of the Mexican National railway said that
until recently the interfortowns of the Mex
ican republic have been less known in the
United States than the continental towns
of Europe. Yet the people in these towns
are fully alive to the importance of culti
vating friendly and commercial relations
with our own country, and he was fully
persuaded that mercants who go there first
will reap a golden harvest. The feeling
seems to be that there is no use waiting
until the government of either country re
duces its existing tariff, but that it will
pay to make the best of the situation as it
is, either through an American Mexican
syndicate or through the medium of a per
manent exchange, such as is now proposed.
The details of the scheme have to be ad
justed, but it is said the enterprise will be
fairly launched within sixty days.
Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 7- The woman's
suffrage campaign has opened in dead ear
nest. The board of trade of this city has
tendered the free use of its rooms to the
state secretary of the campaign committee
for his headquarters until the election in
November. Speakers will stump the entire
state and immence efforts are making to
secure the adoption of the amendment.
Washington, Oct. 7. Senator Elmore
the Peruviar minister, has received a cable
dispatch from Ouayaquill, Ecuador, dated
yesterday, advising him that Garcia Calde- ,
ron, constitutional president of Peru, who
during the last 11 months has been a pris
oner in Chili, and the newly arrived United
States minister in Chili, are in Arequipa,
Peru, treating for peace.
Minister Elmore said the news did not
much surprise him, because he had been
expecting something of the kind in view of
the solid union of the Peruvians under the
provisional government of Calderon, of the
loyal attitude of Bolivia as Peru's ally, and
of the firm position occupied by the United
States during the whole war as an impartial
friend of all belligerents. He always be
lieved a lasting peace ;ould be ' made only
by Calderon and a government under the
auspices of the United States.
Hartford, Oct 7 The democratic state
convention organized with J. G. Gallagher
a3 temporary chairman, who was made per
manent chairman,. Resolutions were adop
ted, and a platform built, which maintains
the independence ot the state government
so far as is not assigned to the general gov
ernment, demands the revision of the inter
nal revenue law and of the tariff that shall
reduce taxation to the present needs of the
government only: also that the abolition of
all unnecessary offices and the appointment
of men only who have proved themselves
efficient and honest; demands legislation
which will afford a thorough protection
against fraud at the ballot boxes; approves
Arthur's veto of the river and harbor bill,
and denounces both republican houses of
congress f er the passage of such infamous
legislation over the president's veto; de
nounce the declaration of the republican
party platform favoring the submission to
the people of the proposed amendment to
constitution as evasive and cowardly; recog
nizing the evils arising from the abuse of in
toxicating liquors and believes this may be
most effectually checked by the force of en- I
lightened public opinion; they may be par
tially restored by wise legislation, but such
legislation should not be so oppressive or so
impracticable in its provision as to infringe
on personal rights and liberties of citizens,
and should not be made a partisan question;
believes the question of police regulation,
relative to the sale of intoxicating liquor3,
in the state constitution to be opposed to
the plainest principles of sound government;
denounces the squander of government
lands and gifts to railroad corporations; pro
tection of native and foreign born citizens
while abroad, and oondemns the use of con
vict labor to the exclusion of free labor.
New York. Oct. 9. Reference was made
a few weeks since, of a proposed line of
auxiliary freight steamers between this port
and San Francisco. At the same time was
given a description of vessels and time ex
pected to be made. The project has found
favor with all California merchants to whom
it has been broached, so much so in fact
that the projectors have determined lay the
matter before the merchants of San Fran
cisco and asks their aid in forming a com
pany for this purpose. And it is thought
by the projectors that this will be an enter
ing wedge in breaking up the special con
tract system. , ,,.
New York, Oct, 7.- The Telegram's
Washington special says when the presi
dent left Washington this summer his con
dition was much more serious than was
supposed. It was generally believed he
was overworked, exhausted and needed
rest. Very few suspected that his physi
cians here parted with him with grave
apprehensions as to the result of his case.
He was, if the story is true, suffering from
a painful kidney trouble, which threatened
to become chronic, Physicians told him
to work less and sleep more or a fatal ter
mination would come in a short time.
Eminent New York Physicians confirmed
this view. He went to Alexandria bay
much depressed. His friends hoped the
change would do much and the gloomy
fears of physicians would disappear on his
return.
Washington, Oct. S. From the statistics
prepared by inspector general ot steam ves
sels Dumont, for the annual report, it ap
pears there were 5117 steam vessels in ser
vice during the fiscal year 1SS2, with a total
tonnage of 1,278,564 and with 20,467
licensed officers. During that period 338
vessels were placed in service against 243 in
the previous fiscal year, an increase of ton
nage for the year of 7456, against S2,195
the year previous. The figures indicate a
considerable increase in the number of new.
vessels, but the decreased tonnage shows
they are mostly small sized and a noticeable
circumstance is the small increase of travel
ing and miscellaneous expenses, which are
but $200 in excess of the expenses for the
year 1881.
Washington, Oct. 7. J. Hendricks Mc--Lane,
nominee of the combined opposition
to the Bourbon democracy for governor of
South Carolina, just arrived, says he had a
lively time with the Bourbon red shirts dur
ing the canvass. He was nominated by an
anti-Bonrbon combination and by the re
publicans a week later. For some days he
was treated well while speaking, but at
Greensborough, on the 25th of September,
he heard that Thompson, Bourbon candi
date for governor, had on the 18th, while
addressing the people, publicly said: "Yon
remember the reception you gave Taft here
in 18S0. When McLane comes here, give
him the same kind or worse. "
This was received with loud shouts of
"We will!" It will be remembered laft.
a republican orator, was mobbed at Greens
borough, his meeting broken up and was per
sonally assaulted so violently that he would
probablyjhave been killed if some of the
leading men had not interfered to protect
him. The democratic county chairman
tried to protect McLane, but a drunken
mob of armed red shirts followed him from
the train to the courthouse, where they
filled the halls and personally assaulted the
candidate, tearing his clothes, kicking and
vilely abusing him, and when he was finally
pushed into a private parlor they brutally
attacked his white friends.
The colored people remained quiet during
the melee. Only two Bourbon papers have
disapproved of the affair and the leading
ones justify it. He afterwards spoke in
several places but had to give up one en
gagement, Mayor Chester telegraphing that
he would be unable to preserve peace.
McLane is quite confident of success and
declares he will be governor if elected if he
has to appeal to the national government.
New York, Oct. 5. The Times in an ar
ticle on the senatorial contest in Oregon,
says that it is amazing that Mitchell should
have persisted in pushing himself to the
front after exposure of his past life and char
acter has been made. The most indepen
dent of the Oregon republicans have refused
to abide the action of the caucus. In many
quarters this act would be regarded as treas
onable and would forever bar from party
communion the man who participated in it.
What penalty will be visited upon those re
publicans who'decline to support for the
United States senate a man whose very
candidacy is a disgrace to Oregon, is not
known. Should they have voted accord
ingly to strict paity rules, although his
reputation was spotted all over and his
various aliases were numerous and confus
ing as to his identity? Some of the mem
bers of the caucus veted for ex-Attorney-General
Williams. If they did this by way
of sarcasm at the expense of Mitchell they
were guilty of a silly joke. Should Richard
Williams be chosen to the senate in place
of the caucus nominee his election would be
a thing almost unprecedented. It would
be one of the few triumphs which party in
dependence has gained over tyrannous party
discipline. In any event Oregon may be
congratulated on its escape from being un
worthily represented in the United States
senate.
New York, Oct. 8. A report says that
President Artfiur is expected to arrive here
to-day, and his advice upon the political
situation is eagerly looked for. An unsuc-"
cessful effort was made to induce Evarts
and Senator Miller to speak at the Academy
of Music next Wednesday. The dissatis
faction at Buffalo is deep-seated, and an
address has been issued by a large number
of republicans giving their reasons for not
supporting Folger and Darpenter.
Philadelphia, Pa., Oct, 7. The confession
of Thos. J. Owen, clerk to the officers of
election of the alms house division, 27th
ward, held last Fedruary, just made public,
shows that the absconding ex-superintendent,
Phipps, broke open the ballot box and
altered the election returns. The result of
this was the defeat of two independent re
publicans and the election of two democrats.
A charge of conspiracy is said to be framed
against several city officials on the strength
of this confession.
Wilmington, Oct. 4. Complete returns
of yesterdays election show the state given
to the democrats by a majority of 145 on
inspector, and republican majority of 145 on
the assessor's ticket. The democrats elect
17 out of 32 inspectors in Newcastle, 7 out
of 9 in Kent, and 7 out of 13 in Sussex, con
trolling the canvassing board in all three.
Augusta, Oct. 7. Stephens' majority in
the state is 60,000. Stephen's to-day sent
the governor his resignation of the office of
congressman of the Sth (Georgia) district.
An election to fill the vacancy has been or
dered for November 7.
