From the report wo oonJcnso the
louowiiio- irucresiiufr nows :
In 1811 the citvof Astorin repoivoil
tbo first marks of an Advanced oivili
za'tiou. In 1G30 tho North American
rur Companv. obtainina a charto
from Louis XIII of France, entered
tho country called Arcadia or New
Franco. About t wo years aftcr(l(Jo2)
Charles I, of England, ceded to
franco tho hritisli claim to it. In
lCi 0 Charles II, of England, to cir
cumvent the French ami recover his
American territory, chartered the
British Hudson Ray Company. About
mo same period tlio Hudson Jiav
company was organized and carried
on feuds with its great rival with all
tho fury. of savages until 1821. when
tho two were consolidated ly net ol
Parliament under tho exclusive chart
er of the Hudson Hay Company,
The American Fur Company was
formotl in New York in 1810, and the
first ship arrived at Astoria in 1811.
Twelve potatoes were planted in May
producing IK); the second, 5 bushelf,
and the third year CO bushels. In
May, 1813, Mr. D. Thompson, of the
Northwest French Co., reached Asto
ria with the intention of locating, but
finding John Jacob Astor had already
established a post at that point, ho ro-
urea to tno spoKano country, when
ho came into competition with the
Hudson Hay and the American com
panies. Dec. 1, 1813 tho British sloop
of war, Raccoon, took possession ol
Astoria. From 1827 to 1843 tho ab
solute control of tho united British
and French companies prevailed, to
the exclusion of all traders, and as far
as possible American Bottlers. In
1833 the American missionaries, un-
ler tho patronage of tho Methodist
Episcopal Board of New York, ai rivod
Ul tho country., Olid wcrn fnllnumd in
der tho patronage ot the American
Hoard ol Christian and foreign mis
sions of Boston. Tho former located
in the Villamettot Valley having no
wives, and tho latter east ot tho Cas-
- r . -.1 . 1 - - '
cade Mountains witu ineir wives.
About these stations tho American
settlers found employment, and sup
plies sufficient for present necessities.
Tho Jesuits introduced by the Hud
son Bay Company iu 1838 to circuin-
. ..' i -i- .
vent tne moral ana civilizing iiiuiiciiuu
of the Methodists. The first public
meeting in the direction ot a 1 umeer
American settlers' government was
held Feb. 2, 1813. The second was
at the house of Joseph Gervais, Mar.
4t h of tho same year, and was called
"The Wolf Meeting." Tho commit
tee cf twclvo met at Willamette Falls
Oregon City, in tho same month, and
a Legislative committco ol nino ap
nointi d. Thev nrenared on organic
act for a Provisional American G
uov-
ernment for Oregon, and such as were
sufficient for the pioneers then in the
country.
Tho organic act was adopted by the
convention of July 5, 1853; revised
by the legislative body of 181C, and,
as amenaed adopted J uly 20, 184.5, by
the Americans, and oy the foreign
subjects with JesBO Applegato's oath;
reserving national allegiance.
During tho winter of 1843, eight
hundred and forty immigrants arrived
with Dr. Whitman. Iu the early
part of 1815 four candidates were be
fore tho convention as candidates for
Governor. A. L. Loveioy. O. Russel,
Georgo Abernethy and Dr. Daily, of
gubernatorial aspirations in
Ii. Loveiov received tho nomination,
George Abernethy was elected over
Lovejoy by some thirty majority. Mr.
Abernethy being at the S, ndwich
Islands d'id not qualify till late in
18 .
In t!,c report of the committee on
the Whitman monument there has
been contributed 830 80, and sub
M-ribed and not nan e-m U. 11 is
su-rzestcd that each pioneer- bo re

treasurer, that their names may ueen

April I f, Friday, tho Ides Until
to-day nothing was ever thought of
sacrificing to our country's wrongs.
For six months wo had worked . to
capture but, our causo being almost
lost, something decisivo and great
must be done. But its failure was
owing to others, who did not strike
for their country with a heart. I struck
ooldly and not as the papers say. I
walked with a firm step throuirh a
thousand of his friends; was stopped,
but pushod ahead. A Colonel was at
his bide. I shontod sic hcdijkt before
I fired. In juninins broke mv Ie.
passed all tho pickets : rode sixty
miles that night, with tho bono of my
leg tearing tlio flesh at ovcry jump.
I can never repent it. Though we
hated to kill, our country owed all
her troubles to him, and God simply
made mo the instrument of his punish
ment. A ho country is not what it
was. Tho lorcod Union is not what I
havo loved. I caro not what becomes
of me. I have no desire to outlive
my country. This night, before tho
deed, I wrote a long arliolo and lolt
it for one of tho editors of tho Ntt
tiqnul Inldllijmccr, in which I fully
set lorth our roasons for our proceed
ings. Ho or tho South."

of theirs. One hopod to bo great him

hoped for no gain; I knew no private

that alone. A oountry groaned, bo-
neath that tyrant, nnd prayed for this
end ; and yet now behold tho cold
hand they extend to mo. God cannot
pardon mo if I havo dono wrong. Yet
I cannot see any wrong except in
sorving a degenerate people. Tho
little, the vory little, I left behind to
dear my name the Government will
not allow to be printed. So ends all.
For my country I havo givon up all

misery upon my family, and om sure
there is no pardon in tho heavons tor

have only heard of what ha? boen done

have a greater desire and almost a
mind to return to Woslnogton.anu in
a measure clear my name, which I feel
I can do. I do not repent the blow l
struck. I may before God, but not
to man. I think I havo done well,
though I am abandoned, with the curse
of Cain upon me, when if tho world
knew my heart, that one blow wouia
havo made mo great, though l uidfdo
sire no greatness. To-night I try to
escape the blood.hounds once more.
Who, who can road his fato ? God's

soul to die liko a criminal. Oh, may
Ho, may Ho spare me that, and let
me die bravely I 1 uiess tno enure

wrong, unless God deems it so, and
it's with Him to damn or bless mo.
And for this bravo boy, Harold, with
me, who often prays (yes, bc'oro and
since), with a true and sincere heart,
was it crime in him ? If so, why can
he pray the samo? I do not wish to
shed a'dbp of blood, but I must fight
tho course. Tis all that's left mo.

The supremo Court of the ITnitflfl
States has affirmed the decision of tho
courts in Wisconsin, sustaining "The
Potter Law." This was the act of
tho n isconsin legislature, fixnff the
rates of freight and fare on the rail
ways of tho State, Uy an elaborate
sehedulo of classification, and Drohib
iting discriminations against places ot
individuals. The corporations resist-
cd tho law, on tho ground that the
egismiure had not constitutional
power to pass such laws. Tho Su-
iremo Court decides against the cor-
lorations. holding that tho States?
iavo tho right to reculato tho rat
of freights and fare on all roads with
in their boundaries. Tho iWisinn
was announced on tho 1st instant, the
opinion being delivered by Chief Jus-
tice Waite, mid all tho jnstices, ex
cept Mr. Justice Field, concurring.
This is a victory of tho people and
tho right. The' hiirhest court of the

If somo celestial railway could bo
imagined, the journey to the sun, even
if our trams ran GO miles an hour, day
and night and without a stop, would
require over 17o years, sensation.'
even, would not travel so far in a hu
man lifetime. To borrow the curious
illustration of Prof. Mendonhall.if we
could imagino an infant with an arm
on enoiii'h to enable him to touch
tho sun and burn himself, he would
die of old ago boforo tho pain could
reach him, since, according to the ex
periments of Hembotz and others, a
nervous shook is cotnmuaicatou at
the rato of about 100 feet per second,.
or 1,037 miles per day, and would
need moro than 150 years to make'
the journey. Sound would do it io
about 14 years if it could be trans
mitted through celestial spaco, ana a
cannon ball in about 9 it it were to

If tho earth could be suddenly stopV
ped in her orbit, and allowed to fall
unobstructed toward tne sun unaer
tho accelerating iufluenco of bis at
traction, sho would reach the central
fire in about four months. I have
said that if she could be stopped, but
such is the compass of her orbit that,
to mako its circuit in a year, she nas
to move nearly 19 miles a second, or
moro than fifty times taster than the
swiftest rirlo-bull; and in moving 20
miles her path deviates from perfect
straightness by less than one-eighth
of an inch. And yet, over all the cir
cuinferenco of this tremendous orbitj
the sun exercises his dominion, and
every pulsation of his surface roceives
its response from the subject earth.'
