Hunt ington, Chas, Crocker and other ollieials of the Southern Paciflo railroad who went north on a special train a short time since, arrived here ou their return to San Francis co. They bud telegraphed ahead that tliey could spure a short time for Eugene, und iu conseipieuce of said notice, the Board ti( Trade was called in sm-cial session, aud a committee appointed to receivo tho distin guished gentlemen, The tram arrived her, nt 10:15, aud after introductions had taken place, tho parties wern placed in carriages' aud driven about Eugene for nearly half uu hour. The party went on top of Skinner's Butte, mid were delighted with the prospect from f that eiuiuence. Coburg, where the narrow gnage ends, was pointed out and General Manager Towuo remarked that it was a question of but a short time when tho rond would bo connected with tho O. k i.'., nud that Eugene was the uatnral point for the connection. The railroad magnates also talked favorably towards the extension of the West side road from Corvnllis, up the Long Tom nnd to Eugene, provided the citi zens would secure the right of way.

The geutlcmun whose tamo is at tho head of this item caino down on Eugeno last Wednesday liko tho Assyrian of old, und the way ho stirred the. natives up was a wonder. We expected to bear one of the stereotyped prohibition speeches, but our expectations were not realized. Mr. St. John was tery moderate iu his remarks, scoring both of the old parties, expressing a de termination to fight the question of prohibitiou to a success ful issue. He had been a Republican, but hud honorably severed his connection with that party, nud claimed the right of free speech aud a free voto, although he might be persecuted and maligned therefor. He had not shirked his duty in the hour of trial, nud had borne arms iu defense of his country when men were needed. Hu mado n thor ough Democratic speech on the tnriffipieslion ma'iing a pointed comparison between Cleve land's cheap blankets, and lllaiuo's Ireo to bacco. St. John is a thorough stump speak er and uses ull the powers of sarcasm to aid his arguments. lie occupied ueurly two hours iu the delivery of his speech, and was attentively listened to and frequently up plauded by the largest nudiuiicfi that ever greeted a public speaker in Eugene City. St. John is a man of ability, and tho niuu who recklessly treads on his corns may ex pect a day of reckoning Ono man in l-'.u gene, at b ust, has exiienced tho truth of this remark. Cresswell Items.
