THE INDEPENDENT. HILLSBOBO, THURSDAY, NOV. Ilenrr Wilson. fionry Wilson, Vice President of the United States died Monday morning the 22d inst. act Washing ton City. . He was born at Farmingtofr, N. H., Feb. 16, 1812. His parents be-' xng poor he got no education only by $elf-culture. He was apprenticed at ten years of age to a farmer in his native place, where he served out his apprenticeship and at his major ity learned the trade of shoemaker. He edited the Boston Daily Republi can for two years with ability. Was elected XJ. S. Senator in 1859, and Vice President in 1872. He com pleted before he died a grtat histor ical work on the "Rise and Fall of the Slave Power in America." He was an active and prominent leader of the anti-slavery party. An hon est, intellectual and truly great man, he dies mourned by the whole na tion. Settled toy the Ohio Election. The New York Graphic says tho Ohio election settles the following: questions: 1. That inflation or any increase of the currency is no longer to be thought of. 2. That both parties will hereafter be engaged in an hon orable rivalry as to which shall make the best record on tho subject of ad ministrative reform and a sound cur rency. That the presidential con test will involve far higher issues than, inflation and rag money. 4. It pats out oat of the way of Gov. Til den all his western competitors, and makes him as absolutely master of the Democracy of the nation as John Kelley is of Tam many Hall. 5. It gives the admin istration renewed backing by the people, and affords a chance for the national Republican party to carry the presidential election if it can prove by its works that it is a better friend of administrative reform and sound currency than is the Demo cratic party. A Bad Memory. We are sorry to have to robSpigot his only consolation after he swal lowed his two columns of blunders and lies last week (and invented a new batch to ease his conscience,) but we owe 'it to" our subscribers and we always try to pay our debts. He says, "Since I stirred up the county court the contract; has. been 1e1"l6-bunaiir-west half of the Dairy Creek bridge," etei That is Spigot would say (if his English were good enough to tell a square lie), that his letters stirred up the court to let the contract for building the bridge. Now the truth of the matter is that the proposition to iet that contract was published by post in; notices, on the 20th of October, while Spigot's first letter in this mat ter was published in the Orcganian of the 28th of that month! O Spigot is a truthful lad. When hia mem. 'a bad.' Vessels Lost In 20 Years. The following is a list of tteamers ost on this cost during the last twenty years epitomized from the Oregonian: The Sea Gull, wrecked January 2G, 1852, at Humbolt Bay. No lives lost. The Brother Johna than, wrecked a few miles north of Crescent City 30th of July, 28G5, and nearly all on board were lost. The Active, near Shelton Cove, Humboldt, June 4th, 1870. No loss of life. The George S. Wright, some forty miles north of Vancouver Island, 27th Jan. 1873. All on board (about twenty) were lost. The Prince Alfred lost on Duxbery reef. No loss of life reported. The TJ. S. war ship Saranac, lost in Johnson's IStrait, June 18th, 1875. No loss of life. The Eastport, lost on Point Arena, July 23d, 1875. Three lives lost. The Pacific, with no are all too familiar. All on board lost ex cept two. Our Beautiful River. W. Ij. Adams in an interesting sketch of pioneer life in Oregon pub lished in the West Shore gives the murderous heathen who would curse oar Willamette with their 'grunting guttural" the following just and Wicked home thrust: Bat Foster's potatoes were roasted in our camp fire, made us wonder why an epicure should desire any thing sweeter than Oregon potatoes and salt especially when washed down with pure crystal water that fed a beautiful rrve, which had nev er yet been defiled by a city sewer, or damned with the "Timoleon" christening of a " Wal.h There are over 24,000 granges in the tJnited States, with a member ship of about 1,500,000, and still the non-producers are not happy. Local Newspaper Americans road moo newspapers than any other people, and have more, better and cheaper ones to read, because they are the most in telligent, active and propressive na tion trio sun shines upon; and the per fection to which' the American press of this day has attained, will ever be the marvel and pride of our 'age and race. But we desire especially to call at- ten tion, now, to the place so well filled by the local press, which makes especial effort to bring into promi nent relief tbe business and interests of some particular locality, and while it leaves the broader and wider field to the enterprising dailes, se lects some prescribed quarter upon which to concentrate all its efforts. To insure success in the midst of such active competition and in the face of so great disadvantages, it is apparent that the local paper must have the united and generous sup port of the people where its lot is cast; as it will certainly receive a willing response Trom any communi ty which knows how to appreciate, at its true value, so much labor expended for its benefit. Certainly none can give this support unwill ingly or grudgingly, when they re member the direct and immadiate advantages flowing from a general and hearty recommendation to one's immediate neighbors and friends of whatever ho has to sell, or can man ufacturo, or desires to announce. Then, too, to know, of a Saturday evening, as you open the well-filled columns, redolent of friands and home, that every page will bear mark of some familiar hapd and discourse upon some topic of especial domes tic interest is indeed a delight which the more stately daily, and even the monthly magazine wrapped in the daintiest of covers, often fail to im part. Give a hearty support, then, to the local journal; send in your sub scriptions cheerfully and promptly, and with an expression of lively good will for the hard-working edi tor and his corps of assistants; re member tbe character of a place whether alive or dead whether lib eral or parsimonious whether pro gressive or at a dead level of fossil ized stupidity is reflected and oftener demonstrated by an inspec tion of its columns than in any other way. The editorial, the occasional article, the selected news, and the advertisements displayed, will at once be a sure guide to the intellect ual, moral, social and business stat us of that community. Hast Boston Advocate. A Reform School Needed. The Portland papers and the Portland people are discussing the question of a reform school or school of correction for minors. The Or gonian favors making a State institu tion of it in connection with the pen itentiary . We adopt litis view. The State needs such a Sctidol, and it would best be1 under the manage ment of the penile ritiary; thereby savirig the e'est of d separate establishment.- There ore lawless boys in every county in the State who are corrupt ing the mordls of other boys and girls by association, and who can defy the' laws because of their youth And we' submit that there is nothing more'darigerou'3 to sdciety and gov ernment than to have an element in their midst that openly arid impu dently violates the riiles of both without fear of punishment. When pare'rifS fear their children to be hoodlums'; dangerous to socie ty and govertirrierit, the State should provide for the safety of society just as with idiots and mad men put them where they can do no harm . And right hero we beg leave to differ with those who think such a course would be harsh and unchristian to these youthful violators of law. In our judgment it would be wise and merciful. It would perhaps save them from the penitentiary and the gallows, and innocent men from rob bery and loss of life. It would put them where they would have to earn their bread and where they could learH the sweetness of liberty. It would learn them how to earn a livelihood by their own hands, how to appreci ate good treatment, and that laws are made to be respected. Reckless Sea Captains It is reported that Captain How ell of the ill-fated Pacific was drunk when his vessel ran into tho Orphe vs. This accounts for the fa't that none of her boats were launched al though it was forty five minutes from the time of tbe collision until the steamer went down. And some of tho hands on the Orpheus state that the captain of tho Orpheus refused to go to the relief of the Pacific al though they could hear the cries for help from the sinking steamer. Mixed Motives. We often err in our estimates of people or actions from thinking the former to be actuated by or the lat ter to arise from motives wholly good or bad. By noticing our own men tal operations we may seer the gen eral truth of tiro old apothegm, "In matters of Morals, first thoughts are best; in matters of Judgment, second thoughts." Jonscieuce, when not crushed by long evil cour- ses, acts with the certainty, and sud denness of a spring, when the occa- sion arises for its voice to be heard. The deliberate actions of men, and especially their more permanent plans and purposes, are apt to be compro mises between their desires and their convictions, and in ordinary discourse we call a person good or bad according as selfish desires or as the convictions of duty predominate, though evidently inthc man wholly good the desires will be not so much subject to a3 coincident with the con victions, and in the man wholly bad the convictions will be smothered or corrupted altogether. It is fair how ever, to hold a mftc accountable not only for the influenco of present mo tives on his conduct, but also of past ones, for in this as in other matters habit has its efi'ect of accu mulating influence on the one sM and dulling tho perception of it on the other. Whether in any given case, a man is on the ascending grade of struggle against temptation and evil habits, or on the descending grade of weak ness or of careless yielding to bad influences, we can rarely tell. Hence arises the necessary distinction be tween the simple persona lily, the sou I of tho man, and the man as we usu ally think ot him, with his chilling of character, habits, conduct, and man ners. In the first with its proper ties, qualities and necessary attri butes, wo recognize an identity of es sence with ourselves, and, therefore, can feel tor it only the sympathetic emotions, such as admiration, pity, sorrow, of &c, according as we see it prosperous and happy, of other wise. In tho second wo see what we ourselves with different antece dents, surroundings or exertions, mkrht have become . and wo feel bound to like or dislike, approve or disapprove, according to a more or less perfect agreement with our ide al standard of truth, goodness and beauty. But here liking means au attraction to, disliking means tcant of attraction to tho persons con cerned. Antagonism or haired should only bo felt, by us at least, toward tho conduct or diapotilioii of others, not toward the persons them selves. Anger doe3 not necessarily include hatred; It may mean dis approval; distinct and stern, and may be right and ju.st; Wc are an gry at the person, we condemn and punish the person, but we should hate the fault. A being unchange ably and irretrievably given to evil would seem to be so far an embodi- ment of evil that we should bo bound to hate him persoually. But; short of that we are to havo also Mixed Emotions in judging or criticising others. J. W. M Christ Iu His People. Tho man who is iri Clirist is sub limely independent ofcircuinstances. His is a right royal state, unaffected by health or sickness, wealth or pov erty, lifo or death. He may wel come all that come to him, with per fect composure; for whether it be rough or smooth, painful or pleasant, it is only a transient experience which no mom disturbs his filial re lationship to God than the changing reasons disturb the grand mountain whoso summit is above the region of storm?. "I am persuaded," writes a man whose words are infallibly true, " that neither death nor life, nor angel9, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor heiarht, nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to seperate us from the love of God, which is in Christ pur Lord." This persuasion or settled assurance, being inbreathed by . the Holy Spirit is of course, an everlast ing truth, shining out in its own un changeable splendor amidst and above the many changes of time. The love of God to his people is "in Christ' and as they too are . in Christ; the force of the pcrsaiision has a double element of strength which no. conceivable occurrence can weaken. Happy people! But this is not all. The scripture also teaches that Christ lives in those who live in him; and this, though utterly mysterious to ''them that are with out', is nevertheless apprehended by the children of God as a truth of in estimable value. J. Dix. We have received the prospectus of the Oregon Educational Monthly, the first number of which will be is sued early in January by W. P. Keady of Salem. This periodical will bo devoted to the educational interests in this State. An appeal is made to teachers and all interested in educational matters to give it a warm support Subscription price $1.50 per annum The Whiteman Case. The Portland Journal reviews the lato caso in which Whiteman and Watkins were special actors, from which we extract the following para graphs; -'But, as it was, the prisoner stood convicted, awaiting sentence. It caioe the verv mildest the Court could impose. Upon what theory? isot, possible, that tue convicieu man was not guilty of all charged in tbe indictment for tho jury had de clared that he was. Neither could jt iiaTe yCen ou jue theory that he committed tho enormity to avenge J his outraged honor for his own tes timony gave the negativoto that hy pothesis. Nor could it have b en on the supposition or tho assumption that the chief prosecuting witness was guilty of the grievous wrong with which the accused charged him, for it does not require any suggestion from us to impress upon any Court that the law not only pre sumes but that it holds every person innocent until guilt shall be proved upon him. Then, agreeably to each theory, hypothesis, presumption, or rule of law, as stated, the man Wat kins stood before the Court an inno cent and a brutally, horribly out raged man; and the accused, lifter conviction, deserved a penalty pro portionate to his crime. He got what? less than ho would havo got had he merely taken the J edge's old boots out of his houso at night as the sole trophy of a sneak thief. And j et his crime was one so atrocious and so rarev that even the savages of tho plain have never been known to practice it, monstrously inhuman and diaboli cally barbarous as thry are in tho fiendish ingenuity and hellish exer cif e of their pitiless torture and un- spainng mutilation, cdonotsay it was not Justice that tho Court dealt out; but we may bo permitted to remark that if it vras, the quality was so strained that it will hardly withstand another such a tension. STATE .NEWS. ThoE.istetn Oregon Tribune will be issued at tho Dalles next week. Over GO ,000 bushels of wheat have been handled at Turner's station this season so far, and more coming. The Eugene Guard says: Grangers certainly will not grumble at low prices as a general thing for produce this fall. Potatoes have been sell ing at 1 per bushel; good butter finds a ready sale at 50 cents per pond and egg3 at 0 cent3 per doz en. The Uoseburg Flaindcaler says: The Hancock sisters arc now run ning a saw and grist mill near Scotts burg. They also run a farm, con ducting all the work as well as their male neighbors. Thcro are fourof these sisters all unmarried, and although a blight was cast upon their lives by their natural protector no one who becomes acquainted with tl em can help pitying and admiring them, or their energy; industry ami honest dealing with their neighbors. The new town of Stay ton, Marion county six miles above Aumsvillc, hss grown up rapidly the latter part of the past season. The new llour ing mill at Stay ton, nearly ready, will run two sets of burs and a feed err.ckcr.

A Lewiston, Idaho, orchardist has just harvested 2,000 bushels of ap ples. A man pounded up two and a half pounds of quartz from Mormou Ba sin i Idaho, and got $50 in gold. Business is brisk on the narrow-guage railroad between Walla Walla and Wallula. There is an a average of 25 passengers and 100 tons of f reight passing each day. Tho steamer Union sunk at tho Blsmark landing during a severe galo recently. About the only cost is the cost of raising say nlout $300. She had not been in use this summer, being laid up fcr repairs. The Walla Wlla Union says: Our farmers have been putting in all the time between showers in plowing and sowing grain. lie ground has for the most of the timo been in crood condition, but at times, in some local ities, the ground has been too wet to sow and harrow, or even to plow. Some of the fields that were sown early are now green with new grain, and everything indicates that with an increased acrenge wo are going to have an unusually large yield in pro portion to the amount put in. If nothing unusual transpires to prevent it the harvest of 1370 will double that of any preceding year in the his tory of our valley. Last week the Indians had a feast or talk near Lewiston. There wero 500 braves" present, arid they roasted four betves. Their princi pal talk was what should be done with a young brave " of their tribe who, while drunk, killed four of his companions last summer, over in the liufialo country. " The same " brave " broke into a barn on Cam as prairie and stole asaddlo and out fit for his trip across the mountains. The Indians think tho latter the greatest crime, and that the whites ought lo have him arrested and pun ished, One of the number killed was a half-breed, well known about Walla Walla, who went by tho name of Pierre or Peres. tr i rrtnnnirj vimiiiui I LLliilll 11 Mil iHJUllllli Third Term Movement Breaking out Again.
