Mr. II;»><•>»■ Stamina.
We fear that Mr. I Lives is not liable
to live up h> those high-sounding pro
fessions he has made during the past
few months. There is wailing and
gnashing of teeth among his party
brethren over his civil service doc
trines and S nthern policy, which,
though commend.ihle, do not suit their
purposes.
Hence the travail. Mr.
ll.iyes, under this storm of adversion,
seems inclined to back <i >wn.
In conversation with Representative
Harmer, from Philadelphia, recently,
he said the civil service order had been
much misinterpreted and intimated it
might be modified. it was not de
signed to deprive oilice holders of
rights enjoyed in common with other
citizens, ¡he «ole purpose was to
reach that class of politicians who hid
held oilice for political purposes only,
a: d bail brought discredit and'dissen
sions into the party, and united in ef
forts to intimidate conventions and
force them into action iu the interests
of individuals.
Let him be either a man or a mouse.
This quibbling will only tend to in
crease the people’s contempt for him,
and he should not he slow to see it.

The

which pronounces tin* obituary of the
Democratic party of Jackson county
with due solemnity and gratuitously
showers in a few parting kicks at what
the writer terms the ‘'bedrock Democ
racy.” We are pleased that our co

is such a vacuity in hi- j >y and -uch a

the ridicule of the avnage citizen, it is
because they are too insignificant to
even invite attention or comment.
Republican l.xctiscs.
Whenever a boy gets li< ked he gen
erally’ ventures every excuse for ids
defeat except the right one. This i-
the present attitude of the Republican
party over the Ohio election. It at
tempts to explain away its ignominious
defeat, but it cannot lessen the effect
one iota. The principal cm mb oi
comfort yet picked up is found in the
fact that the Democracy sustains Mr.
Hayes in ids Southern policy. True,
but the Democracy of Ohio went still
further. In their platform they de
clared Hayes’ title to the Presidency
to have been secured through fraudu
lent means. If the people sustained
ono plank of Democratic principle,
they certainly’ did the other.
The
Radicals can take whichever born of
toe dilemma they choose.

K eehy vii-LE, Oct. 22, 1877.
To Tin. F.mr hi of ihe T ime -:
,
Arriving here yesterday’ morning,
I found the usual number in attend
ance upon the Circuit Court, although .
there was little business for Court or i
attorneys.
11 is Honor, Judge Prim, in his usual
energetic manner quickly disposed of
lhe few cases on docket. The grand
jury found but one true bill, it living
an indictment for assault and battery
against Wm. McGwlrk. On arraign-I
merit he pleaded guilty and was fined '
$35 arid costs.
1 The case of Bennett vs. Carron, !
that has been so long on the docket i
and attracted considerable attention,
was settled by agreement of parties.
The case of llartson vs. Deitrick,
being a suit iu equity, was continued
, on defend mt filing an answer.
A confirm ition of Sheriff’s sale of
mining ditch and claims on Red Dog
finished up the bu-iness and Court ad
journed this evening.
Every body hero seems to have a
very contented look, as though the
world was going well with them.
I hi- I learned was mostly ow ing to the
fact that the people here are generally
out of debt, and from the further rea- j
son that it seems to be a conceded fact
that a new an I more convenient road f
is about to be opened through to the j
Coast, either by way of Elk valley 1
and Smith river to Crescent City, or
down the Illinois ;o the mouth of
II >gue river. Either road would be of
more real benefit to Rogue river val- I
b*y than the building of a railroad
through to Reading or Roseburg.
Parlies at Crescent Citv. as well as at
the moil'd) of Rogue river, are holding
out such inducements to .Southern
Oregon as will speedily lead to the1
con-1 ruction of a road.
Speaking of roads reminds me of
the fact that the new mad around !
Hays’ hill is completed and comes fill- I
ly up to the expectations of those con- j
struciing it. The heavy work in cross- '
Ing the divide between Slate creek I
and Illinois valley is entirely obviated.
Thanks to the untiring energy of Joe
Wilder, assisted by Messrs. Thornton,
Sifers and others, the road has been
fiui-hed without expense to the coun-
| tv, and a liner road-bed cannot be
; found anywhere.
The people of the county’ complain
that they have not received any of the
immigration that is flowing into Rogue
| river valley, but it will probably reach
i them iu good time.
* *
The Mar in Asia.
It now appears that the victory ob-
| taiued by the Grand Duke Michael
! over Mukhtar Pasha was mainly due
to the fact that the Russians had more
than two men to the Turks’ one. The
Rus-ian army in Asia has, in fact, been
about doubled, says the Record-Union,
while the Turks have been diminish-
ing their force by tending every’ man
they thought they could spare into
lhe valley of the Danube. The Grand
Duke is said to have seventy-five
thousand men, while Mukhtar Pasha
has but thirty thousand at the outside.
Nor is it probable that the Port»* can
send him any’ reinforcement-1 every
batlallion being necessary for the de
fense of the Bulgarian positions. Thus
the numerical superiority of the Rus
sians is telling at last, and unless some
weather change should speedily’ occur,
preventing further operations, there
seems no reason why’ the Russians
should not yet reach and capture Erze-
roum. Mukhtar Pasha shut up in
Kars with the remnant of his army
would be exposed to the fate of Ba-
ziine at Metz. Forty thousand men
could no doubt so invest the fortress as
to makee.-cape hopeless,and the remain
ing thirty five thousand could march
rapidly upon Erz“roum, certain to en
counter no formidable resistance on the
way. Iu short, it looks as though the
Turkish cause in Armenia was well
nigh past recovery, and that nothing
but the heavy setting in of Wimer can
save the Porte a great disaster in that
region.
There is no possibility of a short ex
tra session. There are claims and con
