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

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.

gress including Senators Dolph and

ballot-box. Are the colored people of
Virginia to be condemned for that?
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-

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.

From the Akron Commerci
al, Ghso, &ov. 25, (882.
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.

reco mmendation of a friend about a ytar ago, 1 was
induced to give your Kendall's Spavin (. ure a 'rial
and I am pleased to say that 1 was fully fatisf.td with
the results. I used it in several instances upon
splints, which after a few app.ications were entirely
rcmovea. J also used it a spavin with the same
results. The medicine has grown in popularity in
this vicinity in the past few months and what is
said here to-day I believe is put out upon its merits.
