C, ) January 4, 1871. j Mr. Smith lias introduces a bill ap propriating $100,000 to remove ob structions to navigation in the Colum bia river between Celilo aria the moutn of Snake River, which waa referred to the Committee oil Commerce. There is a better chance for the substance of this bill to pass in the general appro priation bill than there is for any ap- jiiujjuauuu lor euner tne urapqua or the "Willamette rivers, because more national in its character. The Colum bia drains several Territories and a part of British Columbia ; all of them, in time, will bo States of this Republic. PACIFIC IIA1LKOAD. Mr. Sargent, of tho House, made a report, on the 4th inst., on the resolu tion to secure indemnity to the United States. He stated the report had been drawn-up by Judge Lawrence, one of the subcommittee. The report gives a history of the Pa cific Railroad ; the terms upon which it was authorized to be constructetf: quoting the acts of Congress j the amount of bonds issued ; and the re cent opinion of the Attorney General of tho United States. The committee say that the Union Pacific and tho Siour City ana Pacific companies have responded that the law does not require them to pay either principal or interest of tho bonds until their maturity. Theother companies made no answer, and none of them have made any payment. They deny tho right of the United States to retain an interest account of more than hall tho amount of their earnings for transportation of Govern ment mails, freights', troops, etc. On the 0th of December a bill was introduced in tho House oi Represent atives, which, in effect, provides that for all sums due, or which shall become due, the United Slates for interest paid for any company, the Government shall hate a lien on the lands of the compa ny. This will simply give th United States practically a, mortgage for the debt duo from their debtor. The only purpose, then, to which the lands or their proceeds, in the first instance can be applied, is the payment of debts contracted in constructing the road, unless these debts bo otherwise ade quately secured, These debs are either to tho holder of tho first mortgage bonds, or the general creditors of the companies, with or withont specific se curity. To some or all of these, the lands shouia bo applied, at least so far as necessary for their payment. The claim of the Government is 'par amount. There is no reason why such vast interests should be left to the ex clusive decision of the coraptnies, as they are not alone interested. It is only tbolictate of justice that property granted on conditions shouia be ma3c to execute the conaition," and especially when no longer required for any other purpose of the grant. This will only give to tho government the performance of a condition created for its benefit, regardless of all others. The committee conclude by saying that no reason exists, for conceding more than tho law has already con ceded. The concessions have already been on a jrrand scale. Bv them, sub- jeci to tne ngnts reserved, the Govern . .,w... . ment snoum abide. To secure the performance of obliga tions imposed by law this bill is sub mitted, with a recommendation that it be passed. lit, . . A Jack 'Burnett's Letter.' Klamath,. Nov. 27, 1870. To TH5 Epitor OF the Heuald : i Stn; I see, through the Oregon Sex tlkel of. the 14th inst., that-James J). Fay," in a speech on his arrival at horpe from the Capital, charges gross and wilful corruption on Messrs. "Wolls, 'Waldon, and myself, In relation to the Senatorial election, The cause of all this arrogant and wilful attack from Mr, Tay is, I suppose, owing to his f aiL uro to carry oqt tho pledge ha made to Benjamin Hojladay, thatho controlled the Jackson county delegation, and at his option could use them to tho pur poses that woro-necessary to defeat the election of Col. Jas. K4 Kelly to the United States Senate. J was informed on my arrival at Salem, -that Mr, Fay was the" object centered on for the Sen ate of the United States by tho Repub lican party, and for what reason at the timo I could not fully understand, for Mr. Fay had ever fought an3 abused them, to ray own personal knowledge, shamefully, And at that particular juncture of, affairs, I could not seo the object of coalescing with a party that was a bitter and hostile enemy to tho party that both Mr. Fay ancl his col leagues were members of. I went to Salem the warm political friena of Mr. Fay, having always at all elections sup ported him and wbrked for him, but when I become convinced of what was! the programme of tho Republican par ty, I gave tho hint to Mr. Fay ana a warm friena of his, who I shall not now name, though who I believe -will bear me out in what I say, that the object, I believea of the Republican party was not to secure the election of Jlr. Fay, and that I had those intimations from reliable and responsible Republicans, whom I had allured, with tho promise that in case such a thing as a split was effected, it would ruin the chances of our best and bravest Democratic lead ers; and that I would then and there change my vote with disgust fo'r the party I adherea to, an3 support Geo.' IL Williams for the Unite3 States Sen ate. That aeclaration haa the effect to bring out the subject fully to my view. Tho Republicans, whose name I shall not mention, for I gave my word to them at the timo that I would never bring them into controversy, declared that thnt was the full oliject of the pro gramme ; that tho Democratic strength being forty two, it required thirty-five of that to elect the Sonator, in other words, if eight of that number were kept from the caucus, the caucus nomi nation, if ono was made, would be in effectual, ana tho Democrats tvouia therefore be aefeated in tho choice of tho candidate of the majority of tho ptrty that being Col. Kelly. Now, they told me that Mr.Favhadpledsed eight of that number to bo kept from tlio caucus, namely: I'ay.Kader, Wells and Burnett of Jackson, noltzclaw and Waldon of Josephine. Caldwell of Douglas, and Lockhart of Coos and Cnrry. Thus, you see, tho regular Democratic caucus would have been left without a quorum, and would have been placed liors dn combat. Now, these gentlemen told me1 that tho maj ority Democrats would of course nom inate Col. Kelly, and tho minority Democrats wonia nbwinate Hon. J. D. Fay, and three or four Republicans would nominato ana support G, II. "WilliamR. Thus, the war wonld 50 on, Cpl. K. in the lead, Fay noxfc, with eight Democrats and ljftcen Republi cans, find Senator "Williams behind with tho rest of tho Republicans. So, said they, you see the electing of a Senator in the dilemma was out 6f question. Neither of the three gentlemen would withdraw, and, as a consequence, the longer the ballotinc the hotter the war, and the more liittcr the feeling between Kelly's and F,ty's friends, and, siid the gentleman from the pther side of tho House, at abont tho tenth day trading will commence, ancl then wc will secure seven or eight ol ypu infur iated half Democrats to join our forces by promises of position and place to help elect onr man righf away. I in quired, would not this be treating my friend Tay with great injustice, ana showing the worst fctylo of deception ? "O, no, that thing i all arranged,'' said the Republicans. "What," says J, "can Mr, Fay be in thjs arranged league to break up the Democra'tiq party and elect Williams?" "O, no; though Mr. Fay is this kind of a man : ho is aspiring, and thinks that, the party should elect him by all means as the first choice, that's all." I immediately made this known to a friend of Mr. Fay, and 'did tell him to say to Mr. Fay inatJi rjciiovcu the licpublicans Were playing to ruin him, and I wanted him to be careful. So that night, in ourJit- tlc caucus, Jilr. J?ay,did draw up a re solution pledging all who sijjncd that nnder no circumstances whatever would they support G. n. Williams or any other Republican for tho Unitea States Senate, ana Mr. Fay sicrncd first, and T believe six others of onr party. Mr. Wells refused, saying that he would study on it till morning. This little in cident I saw gave Mr. Fay great- tin easiness, for I was watching every NO.l. mbve at this critical period, as I could not, nor did not then iully uelieve.that Mr. Fay was asrainst our party. And I do not say now that I know he -was pusuiveiy. 00 tvciis ma noi, mo next aay, sign the nledce. and about noon of that day Wells said to mo that Mr. Fay asked him whether he Was going to sign or not ? Ho (Wells) said no. Wells then tola me that Mr. Fay trie3 to scare him by threats, saying that it he did not sign the instrument ho would ,-uin him. "ft ells then became mad and tola Mr. Fto co to , so ho: says. and then Mr. F. told him, that he was only jesting-, and meant no harm at all, and said. "WeUs. you must have salt." So Wells said, "do you wish to salt me, to get tne out oi the canens?" 'TTcs." "Well," said Wells, "you will have to Bait Burnett if you salt me." "Does Burnett require salt 2"' "Yes, he is go ihg into the caucus, too." ''Tho devil you say," said Fay. Wells said, before hq quit talking to' Kay, that he had of fered 2,000 worth of salt to him, and told him to say as much to Burnett. I had been looking out for something of this kind to como out, as I had heard so much about money as the Republi cans with whom I had talked, had said that theio was money for t bat occasion. This was on Monday, the caucus day, and work was hot on the side of the leading allies to break it up. -ir, was reported on this day, by Mr. Wm. Lair Hill, an attornov-at-law. frotn Portland, and a prominent Re publican of good standing, amongst gentlemen, for truth and veracity, that on tho night before, J. D. Fay was in the Republican caucus. This enraged Mr. Fay, and he swore that ho would cano Hill on sight for the base slander as ho-called it, liut 1 failed to hear of tho difficulty being settled, and it must now stand as reported by Hill. Wal dorf, Wells, myself and others, began to become alarmed at tho situation. Our own party had become enraged, and was about to read the ciirht dis- organizers out of existence, and I had really become disgusted at tho ridicul ous aspect of affairs for the past two 6r three days, and Ihatea to give up Fay, still, fiom tho circumstances, I hacl come to the conclusion" that something was wrong somewhere, ana tho three of r.s Waiaon, Wells, ana Burnett con cluded to go into cancus and stand by onr party. This made Mr. Fay our enemy, throughout, as traitors to his dictates and teachings of railroaa pol icies, etc., etc. Wo all know that Mr. Hollaaay, tho railroaa king, was not going to build tho roaa on his part further than Eugene City before the Senatorial election at Salem, and I sup pose so did Fay. If he did not ho cer tainly is too stupid to bo an United Stales Senator. Now I should not have made this statement was it not in vindication of justice to myself and Wells, and believe that 1 can verify the statement by plenty othcrDemocratic members whom I can mention if it was necessary; though from this on I want no more of this pen defence, nor shall I revert to it again. I am willintr to qualify to my statement above, and thus I leave tho subject. Andrew J. Burnett. Letter From Joseph Wells. Asulasd, Oregon, Dec. 24 1S70. Editor Herald : It was not my in tention to have replied to any news paper cqmroent or correspondence in regard to my course in .the late' Legis lature. But observing 'that the letter pi A. J. Burnett, published in your is sue 01 the Gtlt inst., is calculated to place me in a false position before the public, 1 deem it proper to make a brief explanation in regard to the mat ter, with tho viow of correcting errone ous impressions. The letter in question seems to be in reply to a chargo or insinuation made by Hori. James D. Fay, soon af ter his return from tho recent session of the Legislature, to the effect that Burnett and I had boon bought up by the friends of Col. Kelley, for tho sum of two thousand1 dollars, to support him (Kelly) in caucus for United States Senator. tAs the, reply contains no de nial of the charge or insinuation refer red to, and as tho public might natu rally suppose that Mr. Burnett was rej plying for me as well as himself in this matter, I wish to protest against any prejudicial inference being drawn, as against me, on account of the absence of such denial. For, so far as I am concerned, I can and do deny, most unequivocally, the truth of the charge or insinuation made by Mr. Fay, and reiterated by the Republican press. I deny that I ever received any sum of money, or other valuable consideration for supporting Col. Kelly, either in the Democratic Caucus or in the Legisla ture. I wish also to call attention to the following paragraph in Mr. Burnett's letter, viz : ''So that night in our little caucus Mr- Fay did draw up a resolution pledging all vho signed, that, under no circumstances whatever, would they support G. H. Williams, or any other Republican, for the United States Sen ate, and Mr. Fay signed first, and I bc- lievo six others of our party Mr. Wells refused, saying- he would study on it till morning." "So Wells did not tho next day sign tho pledge." The above .statement represents md as declining ta pledge myselfUp oppose Willis or any other Republican! for the Senate, and Is therefore a reflection upon my soundness as a Democrat. In reply, I wisb. to say, that the resolu tion referred to not only bound those signing it to oppose G. il. Williams, or any other- Republican, but it-also pledged them to Icep fut of the Dem ocratic caucus. That was my under-" standing of the1 resolution, arid it was becauso I 'was opposed to pledging myself to keep ont of tho Democratic cauqus tbat I declined to sign it. . Again, Mr. Burnett is .rnistaken when he represents nlc. as'sayiiig that I "would study on it till morning I refusea at once, ana in the tribslt'em phatio manner, tq sign the resolution, ana immediately left tbo room., , af terwards remonstrated witli lJurnett and Waldon about signing such'Ja''res olution, and they went ami 'had1 their, names taken off. I think therein bo no mistake about the resolution. pledg ing its signers to keep out ofL$?,ftem" ocratic caucus, otherwise why sno'ulrf Burnett and Waldon, as flcrri()crats, desire to have their nantds'strrdkerVotl. But if tho statements of Mr". Burnett, as above quoted, wprc strictly correct, it could do him no good, being unnec essary for his defense, and is only cal culated to injuro me. I am at a''loss, therefore, to understand wjiitt "wast his object in inserting it. , it Mr. Burnett represents me also as having detailed to lam a lonslhy, con versation, said to have occurred 'be tween Mr. Fay and myself in regard to tho subject of "salt." Here, again Mr. B, is mistaken. This part of his letter is of little consequence, but still, as a matter of fact, I never related to iim any such conversation. Soon after tho Juno election, I was asked by several of our citizens? who was my choice for United States Sena-( tor. I replied that I was in fayor oi Col. James K. Kelly. This was before I knew that Mr. Fay was spblicn faf in that connection. As soon, however, as I learned thatho was: really' a can didate, X announced raysclt as, IjcinQ in favor of his election, if it could be hon orably effected, he being from my own county, and then 'understood to bo a pfmocrat in good standing. After my arrival at Salem, however, I soqn be camc satistie J of tho following tato of affairs', viz: . 1. If Mr. Fay was clcctfed, ft wcratJ be by Republican votes, 1. c, a mafbrl ty of thoso supporting" iim wouldbo Republicans, and his election would therefore, bjva Republican and not a DcmocratiWitory. 2. That there was ah understanding -bctwoon- Mr: Fay and tho Republican members of thoLegislature that they would support him It he could securo eight Democrats to stay out of tho cau cus anu stana uy mm. 3. That the Republicans were riot honest in their pledges to support Fay, their object being- to break, up ,tho Democratic caucus, thereby creating dissension among Democrats, with the view of ultimately securing tno election of Williams or some other Radical. Under these circumstances, I deemed it my duty, as a Democrat, to abandpn all ideas of electing Fay to go intjO tJic Democratic caucus, and abide its action. I did so. The nom'-uation and electron of Col. Kelley followed, io better man for tho interests of Southern Ore gon could have been selected, and c,cr tainly no more fitting person to spper sede the corrupt Radical derriagog'110 who has" misrepresented Oregon for tho last six years. Much abiisribas. been heaped on mo for not going info tho plot to rob tho Democracy of Oregon of their hard earned victory at tho polls. But I care not for abnsi6,r8o long as I have the consolatioirof know ing tbat my Qte helped to sccuroithe Democratic victory that was. aqhicveci. JosT.ru Wells- Does it Pay to AnvEirrME. To business men of every class this'hj a" question of no little importance, as, to tal failure or complete huccess is jof ten tho issue. A young man, just emanci pated lrom parental control, is abdiJE to embark in business on his ownaeddnnt. He has a gpod stock of morchandisevbn hand antVior sale, but being only ,a be ginner he has but little patronaq. What should lie do ? Why "advertise. If nobody knows him, make' himselt known. A newspaper advertisement, judiciously drawn upland it necfcseiry, neatly illustrated and given to a prop er medium, will Often suffice te make success almost certain. A good' adver tisement will ring louder thanariy 011, and is tho staff of lifo in trade, just as bread is the staff of human life. Ad vertising enables a business man, to placo his goods before' tho eyes' of thousands who otherwise wotild never know of their existence or that of the owner. It is well known, among opr successful merchants that liberal acly vertising not only pays', but ii inchs pensible to the economical 'and success ful working of their establishments There are innumerable living instance among us where colossal fortunes hayta been realized by timely' appeals ''for? patronage through the newspaper ancl' periodical press, whilst it wotild b6 difficult to find an instance in which it failed to pay.
