Two Congressmen Gained!
The election in Connecticut on the
Sth Inst, has resulted in a glorious
Democratic victory, and of which we
may well be proud. It is of such a
substantial and sweeping character
that the Republicans cannot claim
even a partial success, as they did in
New Hampshire. Not only does Gov
ernor Ingersoll and the rest of the
Democratic ticket receive nearly 10,000
majority (a gain of over 3,000) in an
increased vote, but three of the four
Congressmen are Democrats—a gain of
two—and perhaps the fourth.
The Republicans do not conceal their
chagrin. They firmly expected to
hold their ground and make some
gains. A dispatch says that Admin
istration circles at Washington were
greatly surprised at the result, as they
were counting on the certain return of
Congressmen Hawley and Kellogg.
They have very little to say, but some
of the more brassy sheets announce
the result as one to be expected and as
counted on. This is another illustra
tion of the fable of the fox and sour
grapes, and one not calculated to be of
much force with the masses.
The most strenuous efforts were
made by the Republicans, and they
cannot account for their inglorious de
feat by reason of lack of effort and in
terest Congressmen Hoar, of Massa
chusetts, Frye, of Maine, Burrows, of
Michigan, and a host of other im
ported and local talent, fought with a
will for their waning cause, but to no
effect “Rebel,” “traitor” and names
of like character, and language calcu
lated more for war times, were flung
about with utter recklessness by their
papers and speakers, but the honest
masses know lull well that the Dem
ocracy has no other motives but those
of peace, harmony and prosperity, and
that these incendiary arguments are
but electioneering dodges to capture
their votes.
All honor to the gallant Democracy
of Connecticut I
Mattoaal (¿range Headquarters.
The National Grange, by a very large
vote, determined to remove its head
quarters from Washington. The Na
tional Capital, for many reasons, was
thought to be unsuitable for the loca
tion of the executive offices, and it
was preferred that they should be
fixed at some point within the agri
cultural region of the Union. The ex
ecutive committee were instructed to
select a location, after thoroughly can
vassing the matter, at some point
within the States of Missouri, Illinois,
Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky and Tennes
see. Several very advantageous offers
have been made for the location of the
offices of the Grange within the above
mentioned States. After this selec
tion has been made, the National
Grange will hold its annual sessions at
the place chosen for the location of
their offices, which, on many accounts,
will be a better arrangement than the
present migratory plan.
What Keeps Uold Up.
The recent rise in the price of gold
naturally leads to the inquiry, what
keeps it up ? It is mainly owing to
two causes, the first of which is that it
is made the subject of a system of
gambling in Wall street, New York,
in which the «bull” element bet that
on a certain day gold will command a
certain price, and it Is for their inter
est to have it reach that price. Again,
gold Is required to pay the duties on
Imports and the interest on the public
debt. Not being in circulation, the
importer is compelled to purchase ft
in the general markets. It is probable
that if the government would receive
greenbacks for customs duties the
price of gold would not be much, if
any, above par.
TUB CIIETCO WAGON ROAD.
GENERAL NOTES AND NEW».
M r . E ditor : If it is not irtruding
too much upon your space, I should
like to Invite public attention once more
to the paramount importance to the
people of Southern Oregon of the com
pletion of the above-mentioned wagon
road. The prospect of a railroad at an
early day seems extremely limited.
Holladay is as liable to take up a
portion of the road already built as to
build more. All that we continue to
import and export, therefore, will have
to be freighted with teams either from
and to Crescent City and Redding, in
California, or fro n Rosib :rg—neither
of which roads meets the wants of the
community. To say nothing of their
greater distance, the character of the
country over which they pass renders
it Impossible to construct such a high
way as the trade and commerce of
Southern Oregon demand. It has
been demonstrated that we can export
certain articles of produce to advan
tage, and that is unquestionably our
best reliance for bringing money once
more into the country. Hence, the
question as to which is the cheapest
and most practical route wants to be
duly weighed and carefully considered.
We want to reach the ocean. If we
can reach that by a shorter route and
over a better road than to Roseburg,
wisdom and economy would dictate
that we do so ; provided the cost of
opening up such a road is not entirely
disproportionate to the interests to be
subserved in its construction. After
produce reaches Roseburg, it is still a
long ways from the ocean, and cannot
be got there short of nearly as much
cost as to get it to Chetco at once.
The arguments and advantages in fa
vor of the latter point are so manifest
I need not consume time in stating
them, but will consider for a short
space the more difficult problem :
How is the road to be built ? We
have signally failed in getting either
State or National aid. Can the people
build it themselves ? I think they
can, and not feel its burdens to any ex
tent either. The men who.surveyed
the road estimated the cost at over
$50,000, an amount, in my opinion,
double what the road need necessarily
cost. I say this with all due deference
to the eminent engineering ability
employed in the survey. I have ex
amined what is said to be the worst
part of the road—from Feister’s farm
to the copper mines—and am satisfied
a good road can be built for that dis
tance at a cost not to exceed $1,000
per mile, and probably for less. That
being assured, I am told by one of the
gentlemen connected with the survey
that $500 per mile will build it the
rest of the distance.
The people of Curry county, assisted
by capitalists from San Francisco, will
probably build the road on the west
side of the mountain, if we only insure
its construction on this side. The dis
tance for us to build would not be over
20 or 25 miles and need not cost to ex
ceed $20,000.
The benefit of such a road would
nearly balance the cost in a single sea
son. The demand for labor at present
Is very great. Men are not only ready
to work at low wages, but will take
their pay in store goods and provisions,
and be glad to get them. Building the
road would thus confer a double bene
fit. It would benefit, in the first place,
those in need of employment, and con
vert laborers of the producing class in
to consumers, and, in the second place,
would benefit all Southern Oregon by
enhancing the price of produce and
cheapening the cost of importations,
and give us an outlet to the commer
cial world.

Quite an interest is taken in the Philadel
phia Centennial Exposition.
Work on the buildings for an iron foundry
at Baker City, has been commenced.
The Surveyor General has removed the
land office from Engene City to Portland.
The crowd seeking admission to the Til
ton-Beecher trial is reported as daily on the
increase.
It is Ours.
For good, healthy, impudent classic
lying commend us to the average Rad
ical editor wheresoever dispersed. As
the most notable recent proof of this
already established axiom, we point
our readers to the recent New Hamp
shire election ; which they still per
sist in claiming as a great Republican
victory, notwithstanding the fact that
the reverse Is the case. True, says
the Democrat, upon the question of the
election of Governor and some other
local questions the Democrats having
been in power and made some blun
ders, suffered some insignificant loo
ses ; but on national issues, being emi
nently sound, they elected two Con
gressmen—a gain of one over the pre
vious delegation from that State; thus
showing that even In New Hampshire
the policy of the great Democratic par
ty of the nation is recognized as the
true one for the government of the
country, and that when the great na
tional contest of 1876 comes off the old
Granite State will wheel proudly Into
line and assist in once more planting
the Democratic banner on the dome of
the White House.

REAMES BROS.,
A dispatch from Omaha says 9,300 emi
grants have left there since March 1st. A
thousand went west from there in a special
train on the 9th.
A severe storm in Arkansas, April 8th,
prostrated the wires, blew down houses
neay Little Rock, and killed several persons.
It did damage elsewhere.
Real estate in Portland has materially ad
vanced in prices since the reception of the
news that,the building of the Portland and
Salt Lake road is highly probable.
The Bangor Commercial wants to know
what Grant will do with the one hundred
and thirty-six Republican Congressmen
who recently have walked the plank.
The French Government has ordered its
Consuls to summon for the last time its
subjects abroad liable to military duty to
register their names at the several con
sulates.
A disease characterized as snots is killing
off a great many sheep in Washington coun
ty, and a Mr. Watson, of that county, pro
poses dissecting a carcass with a view of as
certaining the cause.
The Pope thinks of taking up his resi
dence in the United States, if Rome becomes
too warm for him. It is said that it was
with this view’ that he made Archbishop
MeCloskv a Cardinal.
Congress remitted the duties on the dia
monds presented to Mrs. Fitch by the
Khedive of Egypt, amounting to several
thousand dollars. It’s a good thing to be
high—toned and wealthy.
According to the telegraph, Beecher has
boo-hoo’d “right out in meetin” several
times since he took the witness stand, es
pecially whenever he has been asked if he
was ever guilty of anything.
In the six million suit against William
M. Tweed, notice of action has been given.
All the property which belonged to him at
the time he was exposed, and which he put
into other hands, has been attached.
It appears from the list of Representatives
and Senators in the next Congress, that
eighty-five persons have been elected and
will occupy seats, who either served in the
Confederate army or held civil positions
under the Confederate Government.
The Record says that the machinery for
the manufacture of boots and shoes at the
State Penitentiary has arrived and is now on
the ground. Stock has been received for
making boots and shoes and preparations
arc now going on.
A gambler named W. H. Baker shot and
killed another gambler named Lee Stewart,
in Poitland, last Friday morning. The ex
amination of Baker was held before Judge
Denny, who held the prisoner in $*2,000
bonds to appear before the next grand jury.
Twenty tax collectors of the State of
Louisiana have failed to make- their final
settlement with the Auditor. The amount
due is $178,446 89, and is unpleasantly large
to the overburdened taxpayers. They are
all appointees of Kellogg, and belong to
that class of White Republicans that Sheri
dan says the people should be punished for
ostracizing.
Tho ease with which Congressional in
vestigations are gotten up may be’under
stood by the outside world when it is known
that under the rules members are allowed
eight dollars per day and ten cents mileage,
in addition to their regular salary, while on
investigations. Congressmen being human,
these little circumstances have their w’eight.
It is stated by the way, that the investiga
tions ordered by the recent Congress will
cost something over a half million of dol
lars.
For the first time in its history the Re
publican party is really dangerous, and the
Louisville Courier-Journal,commenting upon
it, says : “It is dangerous because it is
desperate, and it has the power—it would
with very much less muscular vitality still
have a dangerous power—to precipitate a
civil war. This can only be averted by the
complete overthrow of the Radical conspir
ators before the next Presidential campaign.*
If the Republicans can make a decent con
test in 1876 under the lead of Gen. Grant,
who is certain to be their nominee, the re
public is gone, and we may as well prepare
tor a military despotism or for civil war.”
