THE EUGENS CITY GUARD. EUGENE ClTT.ORECiON. RATUnnAY, MAY 13, 177. BUSINESS CHANGE. "With tliis issuo of the Guard, the business passes into the hands of Messrs. W. II. and F. R. Alexander, who will roceol will) the same from Jan. 1st, 1877, as if no change had ooenrrcd, collecting all subHeriiition and ordinary advertising accounts. Id taking lnave ot a people with whom I lave been intimately asso ciated for the past eight years, there are many, things I should liko to say ; nnd first of nil is to Democrats who desiro the success of that party. Tlicro is no path so sure to lead to such success ss a go-id newspaper. A good newspaper cannot be made bv one or two men alone, They must have encouragement not mere words, but .something tangible something that vill rattle. There are a sufficient number of Democrats in Lauo county to sustain n good paper, but thero are too many of them who repent on their deatli tods. ilicy never see the necossity. of easting in their mite until they want position. Every Democrat should tako the paper, and pay for it, and nothing is more cer tain than that in less than five years the business will liavo increased to that extent that a paper first-class in cvry respect will bo demanded and furnished. Both tho new proprietors are young men who aro thorough printers, and who' will call to their aid able writers. t To my old friends, regardless of party lies, I can say that I regre I hat circumstances have inado the change necessary." I also assure those on tho other side of tho fence no classed as friends that I regret it for I should bo plenscd to stay an mako it interesting for thorn. GEO. J. IJUYS. SALUTATORY. Having purchased tho Guard from Mr. Buys, our connection with it com monoes with tho prosciit number; and it is duo to our patrons to sketch an outlino of tho course wo propose to pursue. As long as the paper remains under owr control, wo will strenuously, and to tho best of our ability, advocate and (lcl'i'llil tho lirinoinlpa nf T)i.miM. raoy as understood and declared by Jell'crsou aud tho founders ol tho Ko public, without abatement, modifica tion or dilution. Hut while ndvocat ' ing and defoeding tho principles of t popular government, as wo under stand thorn, wo will always treat our political oppononts with due courtesy. Tho Guard will not, under any cir cumstances, bo tho tnouth-pieoo ol any man, cliqu6, faction or combina tion of aspirants to personal promo tion, but will strive for tho success of the men .legitimately chosen by the Democratic parly, Wo will givu each week tho latest aud most reli able news, and other matters of inter est to .tho people generally. Wo bought this CHtublishmout for tho purpose of building up n )ennn nont business nnd making a live pa per, aud this being our first vr.iture in journalism, it industry, energy and pluck will accomplish anything, it will not bo our fault it wo do not suc ceed. It depends now upon tho sup port given us by tho pcoplo of Lane county, particularly tho Democratic party, whether we succeed or fail. Tho Standard says : The Scnato riil committee, appointed to investi gate the charges against Senator urovcr to tho ctkvt that ho soeureil bis election by fraud, will start for Oregon tho latter part of this month, and will probably arriye about the 1st ol J uue. Tho trip will be ono of pleasure, and will cost tho taxpayers several thousand dollars to gratify tho personal malice ot somo disap pointed Republicans, and will only result in proving beyond a doubt the hoiesty aud integrity of tho Senator And fasten tho guilt im lT.tccnbly tipou him who is known as the most nolo rious trickster and muchly married politician of the age. Thero is somo talk of making the Indian Chief, Spotted Tail, a Colonel in the army for the valuable services ho has rendered recently in success fully negotiating wilh the Lostiles. lie. All right the Democrats propose to dispense w ith tho mrvict ol the r -o -' ...,(Z fit-rur. als, Colonels, etc., who now infest the country, and conferring the empty tVlo of "Colonel" upon thij swarthy Ueblieaa patriot won't cost a cent. CONFMCTIXJ AlTHOHITIi:. Joseph craig, says tho Standard, is tho legitimate bod of a white native born American father and a Nez erce Indian mother. Ilewasboin in the country which is now the Nez erce Indian Reservation, and has ever since resided there and improved for himself a nice littlo farm. He asserted his whito blood by applying at the bar for whisky. Tho bar keeper decided in favor of Ida white blood and sold him the beverago. The District Court'of Idaho reversed this decision of the bar and ordered the vender to bo iudictcd for selling whisky to an Indian under tho chargo of an Indian agent. Shortly aftex tho last .decision an Indian murdered an Indian relative of Craig, and according to tho laws and customs of tho Nez Perce tribo, Craig administered justice by tying the culprit nnd carving him into small pieces. Complaint was made to the District Court against Craig for murder. The court held that Craig was a Nez Perce Indian, only administeiiiig the law of the Nez Perce tribe, within an Indian country, and therefore thai the court had no jurisdiction to try the offender. Craig was uext indii for disposing of whisky to a Umatilla Indian. On arraignment before the United States District Court of Ore gon, Judo Deady decided that Craig was a Nez Perco Indian and not re sponsible. Tho Walla Walla States man says: Notwithstanding theso numerous rcsneetablo authorities de claring Cra'12 on Indian, his white blood ami free American principles have led him to frequently vote at tho elections of tho whites. Lately the Indian Department h:is reversei the decision ot the courts, nnd decidei tlmt Craig is a white man and for that reason ho is driven from his farm on the Indian reservation. Ho is do i-rived of whinky and being hangod becanso he is an Indian, and clepnveil of his farm and homo beeauso ho is a while man! Thus IT not like Bamum's "what is iir" ho at least finds that tho nrovisions of tho Constitution do daring thero shall bo no "distinction on account of raco or color," is a de lusion nnd a snnrc, nnd though the distinctions in his case aro somewhat numerous they aro rather too clastic ti depend upon.

(juaiid It is a well known lac that Eugene Cilv is sadly in need ol a-fire engine for the protection of on property, and we think that the Co mi cil could not do Letter than to Be that one is prouifrcd; and that epeed ly. Last week's tiro was Miflicicni t demonstrate that our Hook it Lad dcr Company would havo accom plished hut very little, had fivo or ten iniuutc more elapsed before its dis covery. It is indeed one loose econ omy to pay double rates ot insurance (and somo ol our citizens, can -procure no insurance whatever) when if wo had a good engine the rates Mould be much lesi. It is also very poor argument against tho purchase of nn engine, that thero would bo more tires just to lest tho merits of the en giucs, nnd tho agility of the company members. One fire would destroy more if it should start Ictwcin sev enth and eighth streets, than half a dozen engines and accoulcrmciits would cost, and wo all know that an "ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure," Tho city is now very poor ly provided for, in case a fire should get under any headway, and w - think it would-be very wise in our city fa thers to see that we are provided with the proper means ot protection. Our Hook & Ladder Company have been very clhVicnl in putting out fires so lar, but let fire get under head way and our present rreans of pro tection would bo far from ample. What we now want, and need, is 'an engine to work in conjunction with our Hook it Ladder Company. Wc would then be as well pioviflod foi a any place of our size in the t-late,1 but as it is, there is not a town but what is provided lor pro'ccli) from fire better than our cwn. We ask that this matter be attended to, an 1 let us have protection lor what prop ly we now have. Ami. irant, mile and son start for r.u ro.e on the 17th C .nomh.

Goahd: Moon t Worthley will rt- sume work at their mine in a short time. They intend to tunnel, and when the rein or lode is reached, expect to be at least eighty feet below the surface. Heretofore they have only prospected the rein at the tarface for nearly one thousand feet, and everywhere find good ore.. A great many old miner have visited the mine and invariably say it is silver rock. Gen. K L Applcgate visited the mine on the 1st inst. and pronounced it metallic oro and silver, or probably tin. Therefore it is lafe to say that Lane county can boast of one metallic ledge, and when fully debcloped will be au honor to the county and State. The parties who hold intrest are Messrs. Cooper, James Cartwright, Moon and Worthley, claiming twelve hun dred and fifty feet. There ha been about five thousand feet located by different parties tO the presont time. To those who contem plate prospecting this season, I will say this vicinity offers good inducements to one versed in prospecting, for there is copper, silver and gold; of the latter I have fouud, and others also, very rich float, which is good and con clusive evidence that there is a rich lode or vein not fur distant.

Mr. Villard is giving personal attention to the mat ter of directing emigration to Ore gon, and his efforts are producing excellent results. Tho full passenger lists on tho steamers ot the Oregon lino are a:i attestation of what is be ing duno in this behalf. Several Brinish steamers are Blay ing here. Journal. Upon seeing this startling an nouncement we started out to inter view thse "steamers" and nsceriain whether they intended to permanent ly locate "here," but after following tho mill race and all its tributaries up as far as tho ground was damp we failed to find their tracks.
