An Important Dcciiidri.
The ircumatanca of the trial before the
Uiuted Stytai circuit court last January will
lie ume ni.tre.l. There was a Inrje gathering
of all the important legal miiids of the North
I'ajific Coavt. Hot . Clarence Seward of New
York w.V present at the trial, .fudge Dea ly
oi the IT. 3. Circuit court of Oregon and Judge
Greene of Washington, Territory were on the
bench to hear the argument on the injunction
suit of Wells, Fargo & Co., to restrain the
Northern Pacific railroad company and other
railroad lines from ejecting plaintiffs from the
iars, or prevtnt them running their expre:
business on these lines. After the arguments
of Hon. J. .N. D dph, Hon. C. Seward, Hon.
.1. McXaiiifht, Hon J. R. Lewis and others,
the case was submitted. As there was a great
many authorities to look up, tho Judges took
the matter under advisement. Yesterrfay
Judge Deady gave the opinion of the court,
granting a prr visional injunction in favor of
the express company, on the company giving
bonds in the sum nf 820,000. Unless a coin-
irnmlse is arrived at it is more than likely that
two lines of express will be running on the
same roads, as the rolling stock is prepared and
preparations about completed by the railroad
companies for that purpose.

few seconds after he arrived, the high council
of Republicanism in Lane, "a quartet," met ia
sacred conclave. There wer present John, ill

Eugene, January, 188J.

S.i the Governor and his llctators determined
to earnestly consider the petition of John, of
Springfield, and make no apimtntinent until
I they could consult Jim, the Gimleter, and his
compatriots. . But this abort delay aroused th
indlgnatloii of Wesley, the W itty, wliivie aymi
pathetic feelings have an irreslstublealfin'ty to
flow into eve-y body's business, end who deter
mined to forestall all opposition to John, of
Springfle'd, by dropping a timely letter to .
Rocky, the Wise. Accordingly, Wosley, the
Witty, over-flowing with generou desire to
serve his friend, wrote a letter to Koi-ky. the;
Wise, recommending John, of Springfield, in
th following oninpliineiitarv style,. for he had
no idea that I took y, the Wise, bad ever met

Kunr.NE, January, 1883,
Dear Rocet: I wish you would speak to
the Governor, and have John, nf .H-ingfli bl,
appointed to fill the ollli'o of County Judge of
Lane. He has fine abilities for that idace, the
best of any man I ever met excopt Douglas
nod Thompson. I taw Douglas on the bench:
heard him make a speech two hours' long, and
riale with hiiu Iu a wugoi. Yours truly,
Wemlry, tub Wittt.
Rocky, the Wise, answered the next mall
that he would certainly see the Governor for ,
Wesley, the Witty, and they would nrnmntly
look after the matter, and Wesley, the Witty,
was quite sal isfied he hail fixed John, of Spring
field. So ends the first chapter, Cairo.
