THE OREGON SENTIHEL. Saturday MomfufG, Dec. 31, 1870. Blcherand More of it. We-bave seen; in a recent issue of lhe Daily Bulletin, a' letter from Jack sonville, purporting to give a particular statement of what Mr. Fay said in his speech here on the 14th of last Novem ler. " As a matter of fact the corres pondent is mistaken in many of his statements, in regard to what Mr. Fay actually said, although he left a very easy inference from what he did say to the matter in controversy, that is, that Burnett and Wells were bribed to go into the Senatorial caucus. Tho letter referred to is evidently from some one who has been behind the scenes, and is unquestionably a fast friend of Mr. Fay. That all the details of the infamous corruption which, has been charged upon the two surviving Representatives from this county, in tho Senatorial election matter, let out in liis correspondence, are correct, we are constrained to believe, but Fay did not give these details in his speech, on the occasion referred to. lie only gave us a portion of the history, the correspondent has given it in full, and adds some unanswerable arguments showing the perfidy and corruptness of wells and Burnett. They were both poor before they went to the last ses sion of the legislature. Burnett's paper was good for nothing ; we are not sure that he has taken any of it up yet; but lie has borne himself like a capitalist since his return. These revelations of the infamous misdeeds of members of the last legis lature, must be extremely gratifying to those who sent them there to repre sent them. Their Representatives have become notorious throughout the State, not on account of any transcend ent qualities they possessed as states men, but. for their venality and perfidy. Tho .great charge against the candi dates for the legislature on the "Peo ple's Ticket," last June, was that they would "sell out." And so the imma culate pair Burnett and Wells weie elected. The Common School Fund. Taking advantage of a doubt as to whether Congress assented to the di version of tho proceeds of the 500,000 acres of land originally donated to all tho States, on their admission into the Union for internal improvements, by admitting Oregon into the Union with a provision in her Constitution making this diversion, with the consent of Con gress, the last legislature tried to ap propriate a largo portion of tho pro ceeds to certain lobby schemes, in ac cordance with its settled policy to so appropriate everything belonging to the public which it could find around loose. To avert this impending danger to the common school fund, Senator Wil liams introduced into tho United States Senate, on tho 5th inst, tho following joint resolution : Whereas doubts have arisen as to the effect of the act for the admission of Oregon, approved February fourteen, eighteen hundred and fifty-nine, so far ss it relates to the five hundred thous and acres of land granted to said State by an Act entitled "An act to appro priate the proceeds of the public lands and to grant pre-emption rights," ap proved September four, eighteen hun dred and lorty-one : Therefore, Be it resolved by the Senate and House of Mejiresentatives of the Unit ed States of America in Congress as sembled, That Congress, by its said act admitting said State into the Union, did, and nereby doth, assent to tho ap plication of said lands for the support oi common schools as made in the second section of the eighth article of trie Constitution ol said Mate. It will, in all probability, pass both Houses of Congress, and the effect will bo to thwart all the nice little plans which Democratic politicians have been concocting to rob the people out of their rights to this grant for school pur poses. Encouraging. From the Daily Bulletin, published in San Francisco, wo learn that Ben. Holladay has sold the land granted to the Oregon Central Railroad Co., for money to build tho road. The sale in cludes the alternate sections of 365 on lies along the line. This will certainly give us a road. The purchasing parties will invito a heavy immigration from abroad offering them the- land on favor able terms, thereby making their in vestment remunerative and benefiting Oregon with ii large and industrious addition to her present population. .Sukcmbe for thqOKEGox Senhnh. QHHittcanBm Late Telegrams- Berlin, Dec. 21st. King William made a speech at "Versailles, in reply to adeputation, inwhichhes3ys Germany will not lay aside arms until she is se cure against future attack. Bordeaux, Dec. 22d. There was a severe engagement at Tours yesterday. Six thousand French foucht 10.000 Prussians with fjrenty-f our guns. The .trench nnaiiy retreated. Tho Prus sians advanced, and commenced to bombard Tonrs, when the Mayor sur rendered, as. there were no troops to defend it. A later dispatch says the Prussians evacuated Tours on the same day. Bordeaux, Dec S3d. Advices from Paris say the sortie of the 21st instant, gain-id Bourget, but were unable to bolu it, and retreated. General Ducrot was also engaged in an artillery battle F.outh of Paris, and at night occupied Drosley and Drangey. General Trochu remains outside of the city. The city of Blois is crowded with troops and stragglers and supply teams. Gam betta was warmly welcomed at Lyons. The blockade of Harfleur has been de clared. There is constant feeling of French lines, and the Prussians have lost no opportunity to make efforts to break them, but their efforts have been watch ed with vigilance equal to their own. Washington, Dec. 23d. The Presi dent to-day signed Shenck's commis sion as Minister to England. London, Dec. 24th. It is said Gov ernment at Paris will send Thiers as its representative to the Russian Confer ence. Rumor of Chancy defeated by com bination of armies of Duke of Mecklen burg and Frederick Charles.

Bismark has addressed representatives of for eign courts, calling attention to French officers breaking parole, as French Government sanctions this. Washington, Dec 24th. Tribune's special at Washington says the Secre tary of the Interior sent a message to Commissioner Wilson, that his resig nation would be acceptable to the President, to which Wilson replied that he would not resign, and could hold no communication on the subject. Wilson says if the President has cast suspicion on him, it would be unjust to himself to resign, and will remain until removed or until the President shows a canse for suspicion. Washington special says the Presi dent has decided to" appoint Willis iJrummona ot lowa, Uomroissioner of the Land Office, vice Wilson asked to resign. Virginia City, Nev., Dec 24th. In tho District Court, Washoe county, this morning the railroad robbers were brought up for sentence. Mo tions for new trial and arrest of judge ment were overruled, and the defend ants sentenced as follows: Chapman, 18 years; Parons,20 years; Cockerell. 22 years; and Squires, 23 years and six months. London, Dec. 24th. It is said Gam betta has announced that Rome desires French to terminate concordat in order to effect an entire separation of Church and State in France. The Italian Chamber of Deputies by a vote of 192 to 18, has passed a bill providing for tho removal of tho capi tal of Italy from Florence to Rome within six months. The conference on the Eastern question will meet on Jan uary 31st. Empress Eugenie is organ izing a fund in London for the benefit of tho French prisoners. Queen Victo ria has sent her congratulations to King William upon his acceptance of the title of Emperor of Germany. The Germans are reported to have won a victory south-east of Amiens over the Army of the North, 60,000 strong. They are reported to have carried sev eral villages by storm. Austria, Prus sia, and England it is 'reported, have offered an asylum to the Pope, who will probably acceBt Malta. Advices from Berlin state that part of the terms of peace is a detnaud that France re signs Sovey and Nice to the Pope. Ltons, via. London, Dec 54th. Occupation of Units by enemy, caused panic here. Red Republicans gather ed in larjre numbers before Hotel de Ville, and clamored for vengeance. General Cornaud, commander of the National Guard, refused them admis- oiuu. no was asaiieu, ana ins swora broken in self defense, "when he dis charged his revolver at his assailants, and the mob then rushed upon him ana overpowered him. After a jury trial, he was condemned to death, and shot in a few moments after receiving his sentence. Troops remained passive aunng the disorders. Foreign Miners' License Tax. The Yreka Yournal says: "Sheriff Jackson, of Trinity county, has been arrested by the U. S. Deputy Marshal, ami tasen to Ban rrancisco, on a bench warrant, for illegally collecting the foreign miners' license Tax. Sev eral Tax Collectors and Sherifls in dif ferent counties have also been indicted by a U. S. Grand Jury. Jackson is the only one arrested, and we imagine it will be hard to prove willful viola tion of the law, and that he will be let off with a nominal fine, in order to establish the illegality and unconstitu tionality of the tax." The weather is still distressingly good. ft Show for land Grabbers. The House seems to have set its face like a flint against all land grantst Wbethef the message of the President produced this effect or not, it is certain that there is a great change since the last session. There was a good test on this part to-day, when the House pro ceeded to business on the Speaker's ta ble with the understanding that bills only should be referred to, to which there was no objection. The first land grant bill reached called forth an ob jection, and from that every bill with land grant in it met with a prompt challenge. The members seemed to be on the lookout for thcra, and sometimes as many as a dozen members would object at once: nor was the opposition to these bills confined to one party. Republicans were as prompt as Demo crats, and both sides seemed determin ed to keep this class of bills from com ing before the House for action. The chances are that not a single land grant bill' will pass at this session. Washington Cor. AT T. Ilerald, Bee. Wth. LITERARY. Pacific Rural Press is the name of a new paper, of which wo have re ceived the sample number. It is pub lished by Dewey & Co., San Francisco, is finely printed on good paper, (large size) and furnished to single subscribers at S4 per annum, and to clubs of ten or more at S3 each, Sample copies will be furnished free on receipt of postage stamp, addressed to Dewey & Co., San Francisco. A first class home agricultural paper will, we think, meet with sufficient patronage and success, and the sample number is certainly a good one ; but we hope that this new paper will not fall into the error, too common with many of our California cotemporaries, who imagine that Cali fornia is the Pacific Coast, and who may be induced, now and then, to speak favorably of Montana or Idaho, but hardly ever mention Oregon. Oregon and Washington Territory have their claims and advantages as well as Cali fornia, and should receive their proper share of attention. We have examined the sample number, and find only a three-lino item, speakinu about the probable amount of flax seed that will be produced in Oregon this year, but an article of almost a column, headed "Agriculture in Montana." We have received Scrifoier's Monlli ly and Illustrated Magazine for Jan uary, 1871; and although only the, third number issued, it equals if not excells the best Eastern magazines. We can safely recommend it to our readers as well worth a place on the family reading table. Published by Scribner & Co., 054 Broadway, N. Y. Overland Monthly. The January number of this excellent monthly con tains it usual amount of racy, original, and interesting articles. It is different in its style from any other monthlv in the United States, and a fair represent ative of the people of this Coast, be ing liberal in its opinions, and frank and candid in expressing its views on any social or political question. Manufacturer and Builder. Al most every branch of business has, at present, a periodical publication espe cially devoted to its interests. The monthly bearing the above name, is published chiefly, as its name indicates, for mechanics of all kinds and those en gaged in manufacturing, but it contains also a large amount of reading matter valuable to the general reader, and will well repay the small outlay (Si 50 per annum) necessary to procure it, to any one.

Over the whole posterity should reign. But still a remedy, there is no doubt, Exists, if man can only find it ont, For every ill. But men, for years, in vain Have searched to find the master of all pain For ages it has been a source or grief That deep research produced no quick relief, Chemists have exercised the greatest skill. Profound physicians sought tome Potent Pill To master Pain but with no great sucess, And all mankind have suffered great distress. At last, a modern Chemist chanced to briug Before, the astonished world the GREAT PAIN KING! The Sovereign indeed for Pain and never more Will mortals suffer as they have before The Pain King stands belore us all confessed The greatest, speediest and the very best Of remedies and who chance to try the thing Proclaim it is indeed the great PAIN KING.

Disobedience to the laws of health, as regards diet ; the use ot pernicious stimulants; and the wear and tear of business excitement, and ol "fast life" generally, have much to do with the prevalence of these maladies in our cities; while in the interior, and es pecially ii the gold yielding districts, they are chiefly due to malaria, un wholesome water, and the exposure and privation incident to life iii new settlements and mining camps. Now it is a EACT that it is as possible to pro tect the hnman system against these maladies, as to assassins and thieves. Strentrthen the vital organization with fiOSTETTER'S STOMACH BIT TERS, and it becomes as capable of re sisting the active principle of epidemic or endemic disease, as a fire-proof safe is of rsistSng the action of combust ion.
