It was tienerallv admitted seven!
weeks ago that .Seward, Scofield, and
Kvaits lepudiated the Democratic can-
.bard, nud iero outspoken in their sup.
port of Grant ami Colfax. Ami it is
now aserted by Republicans that not
a single member of the Cabinet sup-
ports Seymour and Illalr, Nol lo men
lion Randall, they say that eten Me
Culloeli, Drowning and old Wells won't
go the figure. This may be on cxag
oration, for wlmt wouldn't some of
these men do, judging from their past
record-but they ate evidently disgus
ted, ilomorolieil, and doing nothing
for tho Copperhead ticket of any o a
si-qucneo. Tlio Piesideul took nueli a
huge dUgust, at his own defeat by
Seymour, that hu is not likely to get
oei it in time to be of ninth service
to the Copperheads. True, he has pub
liely announced his determination to
"fight tho Radicals till h II Irccies

hut at the ame time li feels very ug

much how bad he gets brat.. Ilia Ex

Tho Lako Country-Tho llranoh Rail
road. As many inquiries have been made
Iu regard to the South-eastern part ol
our .Statu iu order to determine its fit
ues.s for settlement, or tho practicabili
ty ot building a railroad through it,
may not be inailuiimllilo for me to give
my vie we on the subject, a I have
some experience in that recion. -In
summer 1 have roamed its broad grassy
plains, in hcarcu ol the fleet-looted nil
I elope, hunted the antlend buck iu its
beautifully timbered hills, or have an
gled for the gohleu trout lu Its pellu
cid waters. Roaming theso lovely
plains, with a verdant carpet beneath,
evergreen trees around, clear streams
How ing in silent majesty, wild fruits
iu ''lti-elou glory petulant," ami a
bright blue sky above, one's ideas ol
i)H'KWWAkJn.,Vil..,"J.uv)iii,iinniier
experience ia not all. In winter I hav
looked lor mouths on Gelds of ico nud
snow, iu the colder part of that re
gion.
Tho discussion nf tho Humboldt rail
road idea has brought forth some cur.
ions representations, some of them ap-
juieully not well consisting with each
other, and of course calculated to pro
duce sorry imtmioiie. Some would
convey the idea that the Lake country
I a paradise, and other extremists
would represent that it is a vast aagv
plain, almost entirely destitute of wa
let and timber, and hence that hun
dred a ot miles of tho railroad route
would lie through a region approxima
ting in features and condition to the
desert ol Sahara, een having nomadio
Snakes drilling around amid the sands,
like wandering Arabs. There is a very
uatur.il disposition to eulargo upon the
truth, and from this comes th.it flying"
into t'ltruntee of which so many arc
guilty ; and iu this way the imagina
tion may be so distorted aa to make u
sago plain appear to spread out and
envelope many a bcautilul valley or a
little valley lo become immense by
gobbling up eome hugh sago plain.
Now fellow citixens if the pen's point
has driven these false impressions into
your minds, allow me to ruako an hum
bio effort to disabuse them from some
of theso halluciations. Being ourself
n & romantic, fierce nud fiery nature,
we may allow our imagination to soar
a little, before we bring our pen to tho
last period, but we will try to keep the
wanderings within tho bounds of truth
and reason.
Opposite the Southern part of Roguo
River valley, the Cascado chain is bro
ken down to a broad summit plateau,
not of great altitude, with gradual de
scent on either side. This bench is
eucd me ocuu i"' -.....v.
South ol this tho country is roughor
lint not usually as hich, admitting ol
a route across the mountains to a fine
pastoral and agricultural region, lying
on lower Klamath, Wrett nnd Wright
lakes, nud stretching off to the South
ern extremity of Gooso Lako, and bo
yond. This is tho routo of tho old om
igrnnt road, established in 1840, by
fifteen pioneers then living in tho Wil
lamette vnlloy. Tho Dead Indian
plateau admits ot a spleudld rauto
from ABhland, via Grubbonia in Dead
Indian, Lako ol tho Woods, Northern
xtremltv of Midillo liiamain ,
cy, Willinmson River, lo Spragae Bit
er Valley, thence intersecting tht Cm
tral Military Road Irotn Kagene City.
Ticn passing the central road ia aV
most a direct lino from Ashland, (
Gooso Lako Valley. Wo wilt mnka M
our peculiar urovince to describe tkU
route, as by this wo may illustrate, m
wo proceed, tho characteristics of ft
country, nlmost every foot oi which
wo nrc familiar with.
Leaving Ashland wo ascend tha
Eastern rim of tho basin in which
Hoguo Htvcr valley Is contaiucd, by a
good wagon road, nnd at the rud ol
about sixteen miles find outclvcs at
Grubbonia in Dead Indian. Around
us for miles is a splendid pastoral re
gion, now extensively used (or grating
tiurnoscn every summer. This plateau
is hero near twenty miles wide, is well
j' watered nnd magnificently timbered,
nud has niauv beautiful prairies. Al
though on tho summit oi tho Cascade
mountains, the altitude of 'this region
is not so great, but that in caso a con
struction of n railroad through it, it
it would be extensively settled, in fact
wo think this will occur at no distant
day even if tha railroad Bhould pass
sumo other way. Leaving Grubbouia
wo pass on through noble forests of
pine, cedar, fir nud vow. tho tall suaar
piuo standing among them like n mon
arch, until after having crossed the
plateau, wo find ourselves ready to de
scend the Eastern side of tho moun
tains. This wo find an easy task,
About a mile nud a half down n grad
ual descent, wo find ourselves on the
first bench of tho Cascades. Here sur
rounded by evergreen forests, coining
down at many places to tho water's
edge, reclines placidly tho clear beau
tiful Lake of tho oods, which is near
three miles loner. North and East is e
beautiful prairie about halfa mile wide,
and covered with fiuo medow grass.
Passing along on tho Southern border
of tho Lake, if tho day should be eicar,
wo can heo Inr bolow us in the clear
water, n long extent of tho Cascade
chain, reflected from tho smooth tar
face. Among tho lesser summits and
pinnacles wc can sco Mt. Pitt's basal tie

m
Taxing Govbiinmknt UoNW.-TIe
State Democratic Convention of New
York, recently assembled at Albany,
reaffirmed tho National Democrat!
platform, established at New York
Cltv in July. Atnonir the planks ie
one favoring the taxation of Govern
ment bonds. Thus the policy of tbs)
party is fully decided, eo far as tbe
question ol taxing bonds is concerned.
The Northern State most likely to go
forSevmour. Is. out lor repudiation;
lor when a Government fails to keep
faith with ite creditor, it ytrtnaily
amounts to repudiation. The nation'
promised not to tax tho bonds, nor al
low them to bo taxed. Ou the strengtk
of this promiso five or six hundrei
millions of bonds were sold in Europe,
and laboring men and women all over
the country invested their hard earn
ings in Government securities. The
Democratic party proposes to break
faith with theso creditors, and enter
upon the first stage of repudiation. If
anything can damago rotton eggs, tbe
Democratic party will be damaged by
this plank in tho plntform. The labor
ing classes, who hold bonds, will- net
support a party who would lead their
Government to do an act of bad faith)
and tho Gormans, the country over,
would be undmindful ol our uationsJ
icputatlon, and untrue to thsir coun
trymen in Europe, if they contrlbnte
to tho success of a party that proposes
to cheat if thoy can get an opportuni
ty. S. F, Timet.
