PRESIDENT 1 SJREMOVALB.
It certainly looks like the result of
the New York and Pennsylvania
elections in failing to sanction Presi
dent Arthur's ways in political meth
ods, perhaps may have had soms in
fluence in causing him to so sudden
ly find it necessary to remove certain
of the government appointees, whom
at that particular time he attributed
auch rBa!s necessary,because they
bad interfered, with the administra
tion of justice, in the star route trials.
It vai certainly curious, that the
president should take such a spas
modic fit about the interference with
justice at this particular time, when
a large majority of people who have
attempted to olosely notice the star
route trials, have observed from the
moment that President Garfield was
shot that there has been a combined
influence at work, to favor those who
were accused in the star route cases.
There are a great many of the conn
try who wonder,, if Garfield was not
shot pnrposery in- order that the horde
of star rente thieves might be treated
with mora favor than tbey were like
ly to got, by Garfield's sanction,
Arthur's own slate having given
hiw a gentle reminder; in the way of
a 200,000 democratic majority, has
given him severe attacks of the night
ware, in which he has likely dreamed
unpleasant and borrowing dreams, of
the ghastly appearance of the grave
yard spook which shall watch over
him at his politiical death. In one of
his paroxysms, it isthonght that per
haps he has inoffensively aimed an ap
Darentlv sudden Jblow, at his rijht
and 5 left hand bowers, in the
hopes to impress upon the people the
false ides, that he is endeavoring to
carry-out the policy of the displaced
president.
If he can yet manage to spin around
the circle and tell the people how he
came to occuov the mayoralitv of
his native town, and from thence how
he aroUe to the presidency.by an acci
dental removal of his predecessor, h
may succeed in impressing the peo
ple of his greatness, as did one under
like circumstances about eighteen
years ago. It might however have
been better if our accidental presi
dent had commenced, in the first
place, to carry out such a policy as
was indicated by the wishes of the
people in the last presidental contest.
And if' he bad ' done so and bad not
ot their will at defiauce tbey would
probably at this time have had
more confidence in him.
POLYGAMY AGAIN
The newly elected delegate, Caine,
from Utah to congress, accompanied
by ex-delegate Cannon and two
other confirmed polygamists, arrived
in Washington recently. It is said
that they will besiege congress at the
present term, for the purpose of se
curing the admission of Utah, as a
State. This certainly will be a
fine thing for the promotion of polyg
amy. With heradmitted as a state,
- she would then have to be recognized,
upon the same terms as other states
and with the usual ideas of state
rights the mormon element at the
ballot box would so control the
affairs of the state that the opposi
tion of gentiles to them would be
uselessly thrown away beyond any
possible hopes of Utah being any
thing else than a hierarchy of poly
gamy and plurality of wives. With
her admitted as a state, the probabil
ity is that congress could not con
sistently interfere with what the
average polygamist would term his
religious belief. Congress had best
crush ont that infamous relic of bar
barity before they take any measures
to-creato a state from a territory
which has-ever since its settlement
been disregarding and overriding all
the important laws- of the govern
ment nnder which they live. If con
gress would pass some kind of regu
lations to prevent and punish the
polygamous priests from going
abroad and bringing to Utah the
foreign outcasts and criminals of the
world, it' would in some-measure pre
vent the difficulties under considera
tion. While we do not wish to ad
vocate extreme measures, yet, if the
passage ot reasonable laws to sup-
press polygamy does not meet with
success, as a final remedy it would
probably be well to establish a mil
litary government over the territory
of Utah, and await its results before
considering the propriety of admit
ing it as a state. All human kind
demands that this unpardonable sin
and outlawry against law, humanity,
religion and decency, be thoroughly
and completely wiped out of our re
publican territory. It is certainly a
shame and disgrace to our country to
have such a cancerous and ulcerated
sore existing upon the body politic of
this intelligent land, and at the same
time defying and evading all laws
and authority of the United States.
Northwest News.
Mr. M. F. Blake, formerly employ
ed on the Oregonian and Telegram,
was in Corvallis several days during
the week, working in the interests ol
Northwest JVetcs to be started in Port
land about the first of January next.
Mr. Blake appears to be a very kind
ly gentleman and is energetically
working up the new enterprise. He
leaves Corvallis with a list of sixty
new subscribers with the promise of
a great many more as 60on as their
subscriptions to other papers expire.
The new paper, according to reports,
will start out wilhf flattering pros
pects and it is said that it will be a
rival to the Orejonian. They both
can no doubt succeed because the
rapidly growing business'centering in
and around the prospective metropo
lis of the great northwest will cer
tainly afford business to support two
enterprises of this kind.
REDUCTION OF POSTAGE.
According to the late report of the
Postmaster General it will be seen
that the receipts of the postoffice de
partment are in excess of the expen
ditures. It would, therefore, appear
that to reduce the postage on mail
matter is the most sensible and pru
dent thing to do and especially the
reduction ot letter postage is cer
tainly demanded by the people
when it en bo done consistently
with the financial workings of the
department.
The news paper less than a. thous
and miles away which boasts of
running a $9.75 advertisement for
$4.25, t some extent accounts for the
delinquent paper bills which paper
houses complain of never being able
to get their pay for.
If that paper ever becomes estab
lished with a bona fide list of subscrib
ers so that people will be able to pay
a living price for advertising, then
they can afford to pay up their de
linquent bills.
Freights and Charters.
But few grain charters have been
written duriBgthe week. The raise
is more oi less nominal for wheat
say 42s 6d45s for wood and iron
respectively for Co rk, U. K. The
details which follow give the busi
ness of the week. The disengaged
fleet in poit amounts to 65,000 tons
register, against 15,000 tons at the
same date last year. There are also
at Wilmington and San Diego 10,000
tons of disengaged tonnage. The
fleet to arrive within five months ag
gregates 215,000 tons register; same
time in 1881; 304,000 tons, and in
1880, 216,000 tons register. San
Francisco Commercial Herald.
It is quite noticeable in the Ya
quina Post of Nov. 2Sth last under
their title "Telegraphic special to the
Postn wherein they appropriated the
Gazette's report ot the Circuit Court
proceedings for this county at the
late term in which they make the
same error that we did in stating
"that native born citizens like D. B.
Irvin, P: W. Ross, It. A. Bensell,
Clark Copeland and William Dun
don, were admitted to citizenship
some of these men being next door
neighbors to the Post. We always
put our brand on our property so as
to be able to identify it when found
in the possession of others.
Certain parties who boastinglv as
sert that they have all the job work
they can do, and get nearly all the
job work there is' would do well to
honestly acknowledge that the above
quotation is a lie or, if true, acknowl,
edge that they have not honestly ap
propriated the financial proceeds
thereof to the payment ot those de
linquent paper bills made by the of
fice, and other delinquent debts from
Salem and other places nearer home.
The president has appointed a Mr.
McMichael as marshal of the District
of Columbia, in the place of the one
recently removed. It is said that
McMichael is a man whom the. star
routers can not approach. And the
star route defendants - it is said are
alarmed on account ot the- appoint
ment.
POSTifl, TELEGRAPH.
The Postmaster General very ap
propriately recommends a postal
telegraph, in which he says: "After
the fullest consideration I have been
able to give She subject of postal
telegraph, I am forced to the con
clusion that the time has fully come
when the telegraph and postal sys
tems should be embraced under one
management.
After assigning reasons for this
conclusion the postmaster general
continues: When competition pro
fits the public who purchase the ser
vice it becomes injurious to the com
panies who sell. When it becomes
injurious to a company eompetition
is extinguished by the purchase and
absorption of competitors. The price
paid for the franchise is some
thing which concerns Tthe purchaser
but little, while it concerns the pub
lic deeply. The ! people must pay
fees which will yield a dividend on
both the new and old capital. So it
has happened that one corporation
which has built the most miles of
telegraph have been the largest pur
chasers of telegraph property, and it
must continue to be so. No matter
how rich a company may be it is
powerless to prevent the organiza
tion of new and competing enter
prises. Its sole protection is to buy
when the new rival proves hurtful.
No matter how conservative or juRt
may be the management of the pur
chasing company it will demand
from the public dividends on the cap
ital invested to extinguish its rival.
The only security capital can have
against these recurring raids is to
surrender the business to the gov
ernment. The only protection the
public can have against the multi
plied exactions is for the government
to assume exclusive control over the
transmission of domestic messages
by electricity. The telegraph is too
terrible to be wielded by other than
representatives ot tho whole people."
' BLAINE ON THE CANAL.
Ex-Secretary Blaine very em
phatically disapproves of the Kasson
bill in congress for the construction
of the Inter-Oceanic canal in Nicar
agua while the Clayton Bulwer
treaty with the British government
is in force. Which treaty' deprives
the United States from fortifying the
canal. He very wisely recommends
that certain modifications of the
treaty be made before the United
States involves herself in this enterprise.
Already the decline in American
shipping has prompted a French pa
per to announce that on account of
such decline the "United States were
recently obliged to back down from
Chili," and "France could run every
American port." Whether this is
true or not it is certainly time that
the proper steps be taken to bring
American shipping up to that stan
dard where it will compare favor
ably with the progress and develop
ment of the United States in other
respects.
English papers think president
Arthur's late message to congress
will not compare in ability with
those of his predecessors.
TELEGRRMS.
New York, Dec. 3 The police will en
force the code to-morrow and' new Sunday
observance. Supt. Walling says: "It is
not a work of necessity to sell newspapers
on Sunday or for a man to work Sunday to
get up Monday papers. That is a misde
meanor and the police are liable if they
don't stop it. Barber shops will surely be
closed; baths alsoSunday driving will be
Stopped in Central Park if fhe police do
their duty, and their will be no possible ex
cuse if the police fails to stop all driving on
tho boulevard.
Corporation counsel Andrews informs the
police commissioners in regard to the penal
code section forbidding all manner of ser
vice labor except in works of necessity or
charity, that the duty of the board is pre
cisely the same as regards the enforcemen
of other criminal statutes. He does not
recommend indiscriminate arrests, but rec
ommends that the police, in case of doubt,
apply to the magistrate for a warrant. Of
course, all SDOrts, pastimes, excursions and
shows should be prevented; also the selling
of all commodities, with the exceptions al
lowed by the statutes. The police have
notified the trades people who heretofore
kept open on Sunday, that they must cease
hereafter or submit to arrest.
New York. Dee. 3. The policecommis
sioners have decided that the running of
surface elevated roads and' ferry boats, and
the delivery of ice cream and newspapers,
are not violations of the penal code, and an
order to that effect has been issued.
The newspapers generally decry the new
penal code and think it inoperative and
merely Sabbatarianism run rampant. All
papers have made the matter the piece de
resistance and have countless interviews
and editorial articles. Postoffice officials
said: "If this office should be closed until
Monday morning it would take" six months
to straighten matters out."
The officers of the Western and American
district telegraph companies complained at
the police headquarters last night that in
enforcing the new code the police had or
dered two branch offices closed. The man
agers were told to keep the offices open.
Chicago, Dec. 3. Board of trade circles
were excited yesterday by the report, which
proved well founded, of the failure of Creigh
& Davis, an old firm which have been deal
ing freely of late years. Corn is the rack
on which they went down, prices of that
option having declined heavily in spite of
large purchases by that firm and others.
Chicago, Dee. 3. In the Scoville divorce
case a step was taken Satu rday which war
rants the belief that Mrs. Scoville will get
the decree she wants without further oppo
sition. Scoville has withdrawn his ans
wer and his attorney withdrew his appear
ance. M. S. Robinson was then submitted
as Mrs. Seoville's attorney in place of
Blanchard. An amendment of the bill was
withdrawn and a rule was made on Scoville
that he file an answer or demure instanter.
He failed to do so, having just withdrawn
his answer and default was entered against
him. The case will probably be heard ex
parte next Saturday.
Chicago. Dec. 3. Kev. E. Bailey Smith,
of Connecticut, is here advocating a new
faith and preaching that the time has come
for apostles to perform miracles again. He
claims divine power.
. Chicago, Dec. 3. The Tribune says: In
formation was received yesterday that a
meeting between the Union Pacific and
Central Pacific roads and eastern trunk lines
for the purpose of agreeing upon rates to
San Francisco and California points, will be
held in New York December 1 1th. As al
ready stated, the Iowa pool has appointed
a commission outgeneral freight agents and
Commissioner Midgely to attend the' meet
ing and urge the abolition of the present
contract system on California business.
This system was inaugurated by the Pacific
roads a few years ago to meet the compe
tition of the Pacific Mail Steamship Com
pany. Shippers who pledge themselves to
ship their goods exclusively by the Pacific
roads are given only about a third of the
regular rates, while shippers who refuse to
bind themselves to ship exclusively by rail
must pay full rates, which are exhorbitaut
in the extreme. The fact that the Pacific
railroads can afford to take business from
contract shippers at one-third of the tariff
rates and make money shows how exhor
bitant the regular rate3 are. The trunk
lines as well as the Iowa pool lines are
strongly opposed to the continuance of the
contract system, claiming that it tends to
demoralize business and does not help the
roads in the least. They said the contract
system does not stop competition by the
steamship company, but rathe? aggravates
it. The steamship company knows full
well what contract rates are, and it meets
them just as it would meet regular rates if
such rates were charged to all shippers.
What they want is that freight be made so
low as to induce shippers to ship by rail in
preference to ocean line, and that all ship
pers should be treated alike. They will
mr.ke a strong effort at the meeting at New
York to induce the Union and Central Pa
cific companies to recede from the position
they have thus far taken.
Kansas City, Dec. 3. Representatives of
the Pacific roads met yesterday for a further
discussion on new pooling arrangements,
which will become necessary when the New
Orleans extension of the Southern Pacific
is ready for business. The extension will
soon be completed, and the Southern Pacific
will then have a road from tide water at
Sau Francisco to the gulf of Mexico, 2500
miles, which will be the shortest line be
tween tide water on the eastern and that on
the western shore of the continent, and the
longest line under oncmanagement.
Washington, Dec. 3. It is understood
that Secretary Lincoln will recommend a
slight increase of the army, but congress is
not likely to appreciate his arguments. No
more Indian wars are anticipated. The set
tlement of most of the western country by
the whites has progressed far enough to
render outbreak on the part of Indians un -likely.
The strength ot the savages appears
thoroughly overthrown, and with the ac
ception of little maurading bands along the
Mexican border, no further trouble is ex
pected. The reasons for the increase ot the
army are that the disciplinary entirety of
the army is not large enough to give officers
the requisite practice in handling troop3.
The secretary is also likely to recommend
that the pay of soldiers be raised from
thirteen to sixteen dollars a month, the old
figure. The policy of the secretary will be
to consolidate the different commands as
near as possible, and to abandon all the
little posts in order to get soldiers enough
together to make a respectable showing.
It is said that the secretary will dwell at
some length upon the subject of desertion.
Last year sixteen per cent of the enlisted
men deserted, and to fill their places it cost
the department $370,000.
Washington, Dec. 3. Gen. Bobert Tombs
speaking of Georgia politics to-day, said:
"A great many of your best men are really
taking no interest in politics. The late
methods of obtaining political preferment
are very distasteful to our best citizens.
They won't take office. They look upon
politics with loathing. Geo. E. Brown,
who by an organized system controls 80,000
negro votes in Georgia, has entered into a
combination with certain democrats," or men
who call themselves democrats, but they
are not in truth, and they manage to con
trol everything and distribute all the offices
to suit themselves. That is the way Geor
gia politics are run.
London, Dec. 3. The archbishop of Can
terbury died this morning. He passed
away quietly and apparently without suf
fering, in the presence of his three daugh
ters, Davidson, his son-in-law, Cannon
Knowellys and Dr. Canterbury. Saturday
he remained in a semi-conscious state, oc
casionally asking for water. About 11 at
night he spoke his last words Tt is com
ing; it is . coming." He was then seized
with a short spasm and bis voice- was not
heard again, although it is believed he' was
partly conscious to the end. At 7 in the
morning he exhibited signs of dissolution.
Chicago, Dec. 3. A tug last evening
picked np the lake barge A. W. Lackey
ten miles down the lake in a disabled con
dition and towed her into port.- The cap
tain of the Luckey stated that the steam
barge R. G. Peters was towing the Luckey
when suddenly the Pejers. caught re, forty
miles from Milwaukee, and before aid could
be rendered sank stern first with Captain
Olsen, mate Larsen and 11 others who com
posed the crew.
Washington, Dec. 3. Friends of Mrs.
DeLong say she has commenced the work of
preparing the records that were found with
the body of her husband, for publication.
It is possible Newcomb, the naturalist, may
write a history of the Jeannette expedition,
but it is likely the record of DeLong, who
wrote with greater fluency than men of his
trade are apt to, and who has left a copious
chronicle of his voyage, will be accepted as
the authoritative history of the expedition.
Washington, Dec. 3. A most affecting
scene occurred in the Jeannette court dur
ing the examination of Niuderman yester
day. In describing the marchjto the south
on September 20thr the witness said just
before-noon Errickson told him he could
not go much further. Witness tried to en
courage him without avail. In attempting
to repeat Errickson 's language when he be
came disabled witness broke down and
gasped, "I cannot go on now, sir," and
hastily left the room. The incident was
most pathetic. Court and spectators were
deeply impressed and the president of the
board ordered recess, saying, ' 'Poor fellow
ho never brok down up there when he was
put to the test, but sympathy for his lost
companions overcome him." After recess
Ninderman said Errickson said to him, "I
don't care how far you go; I can't go any
farther."
Washington, Dec. 2. Following is the
public debt statement: Total debt, principal!
1,899,724,015; interest, 11,100,058; total,
$ 1,910,092,073; cash in treasury, 287,867,
173; debt less cash, 1,622, 956, S99; de
crease during the month,. 5,534,142; de
crease of debt since June 30th, 65,957,561;
available assetts, cash in treasury, 287,
J367,173; bonds issued to Pacific railroad
companies, principal outstanding, 64,623,
512; interest accrued and not yet paid, 1,
615,587; interest paid by the United States,
55,244,6S2; interest repaid by the com
panies by transportation service, 15,409, -850;
by cash payment, 5 per cent, of net
earnings, 655, 19S; balance of interest paid
by the United States, 39,279,632.
Chicago, Dec. 2. Congressman George,
of Oregon, the first member chosen to the
38th congress, and Hon. W. W. Morrow,
defeated candidate for congressman at large
from California, are in the city, en; route to
Washington. The latter will argue an im
portant California case before the supreme
court.
A gentleman of this city has just raceived
a note from Capt. W. Page McCarthy, ask
iug for the loan of duelling pistols, from
which it is inferred that Senator Riddle
berger has sent a challenge. It is repre
sented that the Virginia democrats have de
cided that Biddleberger must be shot.
McCarthy is a cousin of Fitz-Hugh Lee and
served oh his staff during the war. He is
almost a dead shot and a man of unbounded
nerve. Five years ago he fought Mordecai
near Richmond and when wounded leans
against a tree and insisted on a second shot.
Washington, Dec. 5. The report of Post
master General Howe for the fiiscal year
ending June 30, I8S2, shows disbursement
for the postal service of 10,482,021; ordin
ary receipts, 41,515.642, receipts from mon
ey orders, 360,767; excess of receipts, 1,
394,388. For the first time in thirty-one
years the postal service has not been a bur
den upon the treasury.
The deficiency the previous fiscal year
was 2,446,338. In 1860 the deficiency was
more than ten million.
Parts of this great improvement is due to
to the wonderful growth and prosperity of
tho country but a larger part is due to the
improved methods in the administration of
the service. The heaviest item of expendi
ture is the transportation of mail on rail
ways. The next heaviest item i3 for the pay
of postmasters.
Washington, Dec. 5. The report of sec
retary of the navy recommends premotion
by selection to the grade of rear admiral,
and the construction of two second rate steel
cruisers, one steel ram and an iron dispatch
coat all to cost not to exced 3,500,000.
He recommends the transfer of the light
house service, the coast survey and revenue
mariasf&the navy department, as the first
two are not properly a part of the treasury
and are largely operated by navy employes.
A uuion naval and marine hospital is sugges
ted for economy. He comments upon the
decline of American shipping and says the
present evils must be remedied or American
shipping will entirely wiped out. He re
commends the adoption of the prefective
system, large compensations for carrying
mails in American ships and the establish
ments fo a mercantile marine in the navy
department. He concludes as follows: "If
the naval establishment be not made effec
tive it should be discontinued, and the j?15,
000,000 annually expanded be reserved to
procure in national emergencies the assist
ance of foreign ships and guns. If govern
mental measures be not soon adodted to
promote the carrying trade and arrest the
disappearance of American ships from the
ocean we shall cease to be seaferring people
and will not need to maintain the navy."
Washington, Dec' 5, The report of the
secretary of war shows expenditures for the
year ending June 1882, were 45,349,000;
appropriations for the year ending next
June are 55,662,000; estimates for 1884 are
$38,898,000. These figures do not include
the river and harbor work, or the Mississip
pi river work.
The general of the army strongly urges
an increase to 30,000 men.
Boston, Tec. 4. H. A P. Carter, repres
entative of the Hawaitan government, on
his way home from Portugal and France,
whether he had been sent on diplomatic
business, states that the relations between
the United States and the Sandwich islands
are on the most agreeable terms, as the re
sult of the treaty made by Mr. Allen and
himself. The outcome 13 that the annual
interchange of products between the coun
tries amount to about $750,000,000 each
way, while the capital invested in the
islands has increased from 8,000,000 before
the treaty to 30,000,000 at present, al
though two millions is American capital.
Boston, Dec. 4. The Advertiser prints
this morning letters from prominent republican-
senators and representatives relative
to their position on the tariff question and
the action congress should take upon the
subject during their short session. Senator
Sherman agrees it is very important that
the republicans in the present congress
should do their utmost to secure at this
winter's session a full revision of the tariff,
with uiew to reduce taxation and remove
the iniquities and imperfections of the pres
ent laws. The proper policy, it seems to
him, for the republican voters and members
to adopt is to secure such roduction in the
tariff revenue, as will limit this form of taxes
to spirits, tobacco and beer, and modify and
reduce these taxes so that in the aggregate
they will yield about 100,000,000 a year.
New York, Dec. 4. The new penal code
went into effect yesterday. Many arrests
were made but neither liquor selling or
drinking appeared to decrease to any extent.
Cigar stores were generally closed and many
proprietors hung out placards' ridiculing the
new law. Much of their business went to
the drug stores. The business of barbers
was limited to hotels, where customers
uniformly claimed they were guests.
Eighteen of 19 drivers sent out by the Ad
ams Express daring the morning were ar
rested. The law has been enforced in such
a way as to make it odious with a view ol
securing its early repeal. About 500 ar
rests wore mae on the charge of desecra
ting the Sabbath. Comparatively few
liquor dealers were secured, milkmen, butch
ers, bakers, grocers, newspaper venders,
barbers, ragpickers, and Hebrew storekeep
ers making up the number. The laborers
employed by. the Steam Heating company
were the first persons arrested. In Brook
lyn even drug stores were closed. Sacred
concerts were stopped last evening and the
promoters arrested, Harry Hill among the
number.
Over one hundred persons were arraigned
in the police courts to-day on a charge of
violating the provisions of the penal code
relating to the observance of Sunday. A
number of Hebrew storekeepers claim that
they observed their own Sabbath on Satur
day, and the law was not applicable to
them. Justice Patterson informed them
that they were mistakon. A milkman was
charged with delivering milk in violation of
the code. He said he he would have finish
ed his morning's work before 9 o'clock, bu!
the streets were so slippery he was compell
ed to walk his horses. Justice Bixley
thought the law did not contemplate pro
hibiting the filling of orders previously re
ceived.
A tour of the west side revealed the same
incongruities, while barber shops aid bar
rooms of most of the Lrge bote's were in
full blast. Those near to them, but not
connected with a hotel were closed.
Claims allowed by the Garfield board of
auditors were: Professional services, Bliss,
6000; Agnew and Hamilton, 5000 each.
