(?) iUcklu fcorcallis Ha?rtt FRIDAY MORNING, DSC. 14, 1833 Entered at 11 ( 1 1 1 C at C'orvallh Oregon, as second-class matter -EDITED BY vl. S. WOODCOCK, OFFICIAL PAPER FOR BENTON COUNTY THE GAZETTE. To all of our subscribers we ask to carefully note the jrreat improvement in the Gazette daring the last year, and after readinj it carefully hand a copy thereof to some friend or neighbor who is not taking it, and who needs a paper, and ask them to subscrib . At the same time invite their attention to the fact that the GAjrrrK contains a greater variety of and more reading matter, including local, editorial, tele graphic, general news and miscellaneous, fireside and family reading than any other paper published in Oregon. To all persons who receive sample copies of the Gazette, we ask to rend and examine it carefully and decide if they can afford to do without it when a paper containing so much interesting reading can be Obtained for the small sum of two dollars and fifty cents per year in advance. A man should subscribe for a newspaper just ex actly for the same reason that he buys a dollar's worth of coffee, or transacts any other kind of busi ness. When one buys sugar or coffee, in the first place it is because it is needed, and it is bought where the best article can te had for the money. So you should subscribe for your paper, because you need it and it dots not pay you to do without it. And when you subscribe you should get the one that is the bet and the most valuable to you for your money. We propose to furnish to all desiring, the best news and general family paper in Oregon and ask all who need such a thing to come forward and subscribe. We know there is an occasional one who does not like the Gazette because it fearlessly goes forward and says the truth and what it ought to say to its many readers. But we can not help that, because any person who fearlessly discharges his duty is liable to touch those who are tender. The Salt Lake Herald, a Mormon organ, regards that part of President Arthur's message relating to the Mor mon question as meaning much harm to the cause of polygamy if Congress should adopt the president's recom mendations. If such a law was left to Arthur to carry out, that paper thinks that he would execute it in a high handed manner. U. S. Senator Tory, also member of the Republican National committee, proposes to change the basis of repre sentation from the several States to the National Republican convention so that each State may have four dele gates at large, each district one, and one additional for each 10,000 votes within its limits in 1 88o for presiden tial electors, and ona delegate for each fraction of. such io,ooo votes over half thereof. This basis will give Oregon one more than now and will increase the total from 820 to 870. It is claimed that senator Sumner will introduce in the present Congress a bill on the subject of a postal tele graph. It provides for a fourth assis tant postmaster general to take charge of the service who is to be an electri cian, .bonds to the amount of $25, 000,000 bearing 3 per cent to run thirty years and to be redeemable in twenty years are to be issued to con struct new lines of telegraph under the directions of the Postmaster Gen eral. And work on the new line is to commence simultaneously at different parts of the country. On this coast fie places named are Portland, Yreka Sacramento, San Francisco, Los Ange les and San Diego. It is to be open ed fifty miles at a line, and any com munity desiring to connect with lines first built may do so, and if their lines are built as required by the Postmaster General, are when completed to be ac cepted and paid for by him. The rates to be charged on such lines are ten cents for the first ten words and five cents for each additional ten words and press dispatches all over the Uni ted States is twenty cents for each one hundred words. This bill seems to be a meritorous one and seems to require about what is needed in this line. That the telegraph system should be operated by the government as a means of transmitting news and extending the business of the country, is hardly questioned any longer by anyone except it be those interested in the telegraphic monopolies. If the government was opperating a system of this kind it would hardly be possible to have a strike like the one a few months ago which had the effect for a time to paralyze the business of the country. It such was the telegraphic system of the country every newspaper in the land could afford to take and pay for the latest dispatches in large quantities and thus every reader of a newspaper by taking one paper could see the latest dispatches, besides the business interests of the country would be much advanced and improved by such a system. Much of the business to-day at the exceeding high rates is done by telegraph and if the facilities proposed in this bill was in operation it would afford many business men an opportunity of using it which now can no: affo.M to pay the high rates. TEE VIRGINIA PERFORMANCE. The Cincinnati Gazette in regard to the recent outrage on elections has the following : "It suits people who; do not care to defend or even publish the facts connected with the Virginia outrage, to denounce Mahone, and some of them are comparing him to Butler, of Massachusetts, as if they considered that sufficient to cover up all the sins of the Bourbons, and to atone for the innocent blood shed by the conspirators in their contest against personal liberty, a free ballot and an honest count. It required a brave man to attack late election, and the Elc-torial vote of Virginia would be cast next year for the Republican candidate for the Presidency. To prevent the latter the shot-gun was used, and murders as cold-blooded as they were infamous were committed at Danville, and a reign ot tenor was inaugurated throughout the State. Without the aid of the Bourbons of Virginia and Mississippi, the cause of the Demo cratic party would be hopeless; but it is determined that the South shall be as solid in the Electorial College as it wjs on the side of the rebellion, and whatever methods may be necessary to politically the Bourbons. Perhaps accomplish that result will be adopted. Mahone, who is unquestionably brave, even if the policy should involve the was also somewhat unscrupulous; but shedding of rivers of blood. the country is called uppn to judge the man and his followers, not by what his opponents say, but by what he did and the methods that were used to overthrow him. Let Mahone be measured bv this standard. This is the meaning of the so-called Danville riot. It is the purpose for which innocent men were assassinated on that occasion. The Democratic party has it in its power to put a stop to the outrages He replenished the Ireasury, that that are perpetrated in its name; but had been depleted by Bourbon extrav- will it do it ? We fear not. We look agance. He re-established schools, ! in vain to its press for a condemnation that the Bourbons had destroyed, of the Virginia outrages, or even for He sought to place a schoolhouse on 1 a fair statement of the facts. The every hill and in every valley, and at j Democratic leaders know that upon the rate lie was progressing in this 1 the solid South their hope of success work, in the course of another decade : defends, and they are ready to gather schoolhouses would have been as nuni- in these votes and count them, and erous in Virginia as they are in Ohio, ro.1t by them reg rdless of the metli- and the traveler could not get beyond the sound of the bell that calls child ren to study. The colored people, who were discriminated against under Bourbon rule, were treated equally under Mahone rule. It is said by many, and even a Boston paper re ports it, that negroes are not fit to vote, because they are ignorant. In slavery they were prohibited from learning, and in freedom the means of education are withheld. They are trodden down and then cursed be cause they are down? and by men too who are responsible for their ignorance and are determined they shall not rise in the scale of civilization. Mahone undertook to give the colored people a fair chance; to see that their freedom was not a mere sham, and that their rights under the laws to a free ballot were not denied. The colored people had education enough and sense enough to discover that the party that so ight to do them justice was the party that deserved tieir support, and they naturally flocked to the standard of the leader who gave them free schools, and broke ods by which they are secured. If, therefore, a Democratic President should be elected in 1SS4 he would owe his election to the solid South and to the methods which were made so conspicuous by the Bourbons of Vir ginia in the late farce which is mis called an election. It seems ordered that the battle of civilization against barbarism must be fought over again in 1S34, and the people who are on the side of the former may as well begin to prepare their ballots. The Pacific Coast members of Con gress including Senators Dolph and S'ater, Representatives George, Rose crans, Sumner, Glasscock, Pudd, Henley, Tally and Cassid.-, with Sen ator Miller presiding, held a meeting last Friday to consider and adopt some uniform understanding as to the work for this coast in the present ses sion of Congress. The main question under consideration was the frauds and impositions perpetrated against the Chinese restriction bill by the Chi nese government.

Let those who. would condemn them put themselves in their place. The fact is, no class of white men in the North would bear the wrongs inflicted upon the colored citizens of Virginia. If the outrages practiced there were undertaken in Massachusetts, or Ohio, or any other Northern State, it would not be necessary, for the purpose of intimidation, to get up a sham riot, as was done at Danville. There would be real riots, and blood would be freely shed, and the work would not be confined to one side. The Danville riot was the result of a plot to intimidate the colored people and drive them from the polls through out the State. In the face of the tes timony before the public it is no worth while to deny the plot. Pains were taken to have exaggerated re ports of that occurrence spread throughout the State, and without the aid of mail or telegraph it was spread in places far and near immediately upon its occurrence. Then how ab surd to charge the disturbance upon the colored people, when it is known that only colored people were killed. Two white men were wounded, but that was the result of accident, and the shots were fired by white men. But the plot was successful. The colored people were frightened, and white men who belonged to 'the Ma hone party were intimidated, and in that way the Bourbons carried the State. Soon this paity will again be in control, and soon again colored schools will be discontinued, and the colored people will be reduced to a state of slavery, differing only in de gree from that which prevailed before they were made free, and not much better than that of actual bondage. At any rate the negro vote will not be counted in Virginia unless it is cast on the side of the Bourbon party. Con stitution and laws will be brushed aside as so much trash. With a free ballot and an honest count thi Bour- Other a cas- both houses on the subject, matters were only discussed in ual way. The Pacific coast Senators and Representatives in Congress are de cidedly of the opinion that the presi dent's late message does sufficiently condem the acts of the government officers of China in issuing fraudulent certificates in violation of the Chinese restriction act. It is claimed that a strenuous bill will soon be introduced to deal with the question. It is said that Representative Par sons of Illinois, intends introducing a bill in Congress for the forfeiture of 00,000,000 acres of unearned land grants of which 15,000,000 acres are claimed by the Texas Pacific Railroad. mm (In Crawford & Farm's New Brick.) - OREGON Illiteracy is not so mueh the trouble with the South as it is that the shct gun there is so much used as a pre dominating means to decide an ear nest argument.

Readers of the Commercial can not well forget that a large space has for years been taken up by Kendall's advertisement especially of a certain Spavin Cure. Ve have had dealings with Dr Ken dall for many years, and 1 he truth is fully and faith llUv proven not only that lie is a good honest man, and that his celebrated Spavin Cure is not only all that it is recommended to be, but that the Knglish language, is not capable of recommending too hicrhly. Kendall's Spavin Cure will cure spavins. There are hundreds of cases, in which that has been proven to our certain Knowledge, out, alter an, it any person confines the usefulness of this celebrated medicine to euring spavins alone, they make a bit: mistake. It is the best ;t edicine known as an outward applica tion for rheumatism in the human family, it is good for pains and aches, swellings and lameness, and is just as safely applied to men, women and children as it is to horses. We know that there are other ifood linanicnts, but we do believe this spavin cure to be far better than anv ever invented. City Stables a Daily Stage Line FROM ALBANY TO CDHALIJP-. THOS.
