Ofnrial Paper for Jackson & Josrphinc Conntiei.
FRIDAY
MAY 7, 1875.
On our first page of to-day’s issue
we publish a communication from the
Commissioner of the General Land
Office to the Governor of Oregon, in­
forming him of the nature of instruc­
tions lately issued to the Surveyor
General of Oregon, directing the man­
ner of segregating the swamp lands of
this State and the amount and the
character of proofs required by the
Land Department to establish the
swampy character of the lands claimed
by the State pnder the swamp land
grant. These instructions, says the
Mercury, appear to be fair and correct.
As to lands surveyed before 1800 will
not now entertain any claims ; but the
sales as claimed by the Governor that
all the late subdivisions of swamps and
lakes meandered and left unsubdivided
before I860, can now be claimed and
held by the State, as the late subdi­
vision survey brings them within the
time allowed by the act of Congress for
selection. These rulings gives the State
the Wapato and Labish Lake lands,
the bayous of the Columbia River and
all the swamp lands in the Klamath
Lake basin. In fact there are but lim­
ited quantities of swamp land in the
State but what fail within these rul­
ings, as belonging to the State.
As to swamp lands surveyed before
I860, the Supreme Court of this State
has decided that they belong to the
State by virtue of the grant, and this
view is sustained by decisions of like
character by the Supreme Court of the
United States.
Confederate Memorial Day.
Monday, the 26th day of April, was
Memorial Day for the dead soldiers of
the South, and the following brief dis­
patch preaches a grand sermon of re­
conciliation to the whole of our broad
Northerland :
A ugusta , Ga., April 26.—Memorial
Day was observed herewith unusually
imposing ceremonies. The corner
stone of the Confederate monument
was laid. Gen. Evans delivered the
oration, in which he took occasion to
urge the cultivation of fraternal spirit,
and to do nothing to keep alive the
passions of the war. The Confederacy
was dead, and they did not propose to
exhume it. They had parted sadly
with the dear old cross of stars, but
they took with the true hand of South­
ern honor the staff that bore the stars
and stripes.
The ladies decorated with flowers
the graves of the Confederate and Fed­
eral dead in the Augusta cemetery.
A dispatch from Little Rock, Ar­
kansas, bearing the same date as above,
says that a call has been signed by the
ex-Federal and ex-Confederate soldiers
of that city for a joint decoration of the
Federal and Confederate dead. What
a grand spectacle of forbearance and
forgiveness for the great wrongs of the
past this brief announcement exhibits,
and what a lesson of charity it ought
to teach us ail.
“Under the sod and the dew.
Waiting the judgment day :
Tears and love for the blue,
Love and tears for the gray.”
It is with feelings of regret that we
announce the death of Hon. Geo. A.
La Dow, Congressman from this State.
A dispatch from Salem to Hon. Henry
Klippel announces his death at his
home in Pendleton last Saturday
morning, of rheumatism of the heart.
Mr. La Dow has been suffering for some
timo with inflammatory rheumatism,
but was not deemed in so precarious a
condition. Resquiescat in pace.
Two Congressmen, in succession,
elected in this State have never taken
their seats, Hon. Joseph G. Wilson
being the other member. A special
election will necessarily be held to fill
the vacancy
The dtepetches have devoted consid­
erable space to the description of the
imposing ceremonies attending the
conferring the Insignia of his new office
on Cardinal McC'losky. The ceremony
was attended with all tho magnificence
that can be given by the Roman Cath­
olic Church. Cardinal McCloeky is
now a prince of that Church, one of
the very highest officials it recognizes,
and the growth and power of Roman
Catholicism in America is recognized
and encouraged by conferring this dig­
nity upon an American citizen.
N.
John C. Breckenridge is seriously ill.
The public debt statement shows a reduc­
tion during April of $2,325,246.
A reckless prophet say« Oregon will re­
ceive 35,000 immigrants this year.
It is said the late cold weather in tho East
has killed the young grasshoppers.
The Prince of Wales was on the 29th ult.
installed as Grand Master of Masons for
England.
B. J. Pengra ha^eturned from Washing­
ton and feels cheerful over the prospect of
tho Winnemucca Railroad.
Forty-one bodies have been taken from
the mine at Staffordshire, England, killed
by tho explosion Friday. • Most of the de­
ceased left large families.
The interment of Senator Sumner is said
to have cost Massachusetts $20,250.40. The
political interment of Senators Carpenter
and Chandler cost considerably less and is
quite as effectual.
In North Carolina, Judges Brooks and
Dick, in their charges to the Grand Jury,
declared tho criminal features of the Civil
Rights bill unconstitutional, as no law could
say men are socially equal.
Tho Record says : Articles wore filed with
the Secretary of State on the 24th, of the
Coos Bay and Umpqua Valley Railroad;
capital stock three millions of dollars ; east,
cm terminus, Roseburg ; western terminus,
the navigable waters of Isthmns Slough.
Incorporators, Robert W. Elliott, Stephen
E. Megrath, William Hall.
Tho loss by the Oshkosh, Wisconsin, fire
tho other day is still estimated at $2,000,000.
Some 200 families are said to need assistance
from the pulflic, and the Common Council
has appropriated 8*2,000 for their relief.
There is a determination among th® busi­
ness men to rebuild at once, although it is
less than a year that over 200 buildings were
burned there.
A recent number of the Commercial Ad­
vertiser, published at Honolulu, Sandwich
Islands, says : Oregon sends us her fresh
and salt salmon in large quantities ; much
of our flour and lumber; and latterly we
get from there the freshest and sweetest of
hams. None can be nicer than those re­
cently brought by the Falkinburg, which is
another argument in faver of reciprocity.
Ten Chinese pupils of the Mission School
at Portland lately professod a desire to be­
come Christians. Accordingly on last Sun­
day. Rev. D. J. Pierce of the Baptist church
in that city, baptized them. Whereupon
they were set upon by their relatives and
friends and some of them severely beaten
and otherwise maltreated. Placards in Chi­
nese characters were immediately posted
up throughout the city disowning them.
The Portland Welcome says there is at
Corbitt A Macleav’s a specimen of Oregon
flax, which was grown by M. L. Savage, of
Marion county, and manufactured by J. L.
Smith A Co., Salem. It is of very fine, su­
perior quality, and in England would bring
£60—$300—per ton. The specimen will be
forwarded to Dundee, Scotland. Oregon
can equal Ireland in flax. It will be a staple
product, next in rank to wheat, in a few
years.
Pinch back has “shouldered arms” and
gone on the war path. He scornfully re­
jects the New Orlean, Post Office, and will
be satisfied with nothing less than the Sec­
retaryship of the Senate. If he don’t get
that, then it is war to the knife, and the
knife to the hilt. Pinchback is the dividing
line between the true Administration Radi­
cals and the soreheads in Congress. The
nigger created the Radical party and it now
appears that he will divide and destroy it.
The telegraph informs us that Julius Dun­
can, one of the reporters at the Beecher-Til­
ton trial, has committed suicide. In a let-
ter left behind declaring his intentions, he
writes : “I am wearied with the blasphemy
and perjury of the Beecher trial, and poison
myself to get out of it.” One of the wit­
nesses, Henry M. Cleveland, is reported in
almost a dying condition from nervous pros­
tration, caused by the rigid cross-examina­
tion to which he has been subjected.
A man named Gordon is missing from
Roseburg under very peculiar circum­
stances, leading some to think he has been
foully dealt with, while others think he has
wandered down to the Umpqua, tell in and
drowned, or has committed suicide. Gor­
don is described as a man about 35 years of
age, sandy complexion, about 5 feet 10
inches high, and blind in the right eye. He
claimed to be a native of Mississippi, and
had served in the rebel army during the
late war.
‘Senator Mitchell it seems is still hunting
notoriety, or at least is finding it. The re­
port has been telegraphed every few days
for some time that Secretary Delano was
abont to retire from the Cabinet, and at
length his resignation came to be a sure
thing. All at once it turned out that the
efforts to displace him arose from a com­
bined movement on the part of Senator
Mitchell of Oregon, Ben Holladay, Rufus
Ingalls and others who want him replaced
by some one who will join them in securing
to a corporation already formed, and in
which they are interested, the Black Hills
country, and Mr. Delano peremptorily re­
fused to quit the premises. But still it is
only a question of time, for of course he can
be persecuted until he must step down and
out.— Eugene Guard.
