THE OREGOM SEHTfflEL. ,,SxTpEDi.T.Moa!rixo,Dec.-23, 1871. If. ItSXlLtf, ------- - Editor. PETITION. To the Senate and ''House 0 Repre seritatives.in Congress Assembled: 'TVs, the un3er8igned petitioners, difiiens otJLink River precinct, Jack " 8'tffljSounty Oregon, would, respect fully re'prcsen? the following facts and call your, earliest attention thereto, lo-ttlt: -L c ' '-"- ' "-" Nearly all the lands in this sectiop "xf 'Icdjintry are either marsh lands, or. are embraced in the selections made by the Statejof Oregon pursuant to a " grant made by the government to the State, consisting of five hundred thou sand acres of .land, and accepted by the State under constitutional; provis ions as an endowment subsidyioscda cational purposes, to be,-held jnviolate and ineducable as common Echoolfund. The greater part of such selections have never been approved, although rnade shortly after the lands;.were, sur- ,tr,eyed by the -TJ. S. Surveyor which -was in 1858 or 1859. These lands .have been settling, up for pearly five .years,, and, although every effort has tbeenmadeby tho settlers' -to obtain titles from the State for their lands, they have all, or nearly all failed to i;et.any satisfaction from the' Board1 of. Commissioners for the sale of State lands. '. ' t. The' statutes- of Oregon, approved 'October 22, 1864, provides "That the Governor, Secretary of State and State Treasurer,, as. a Board of Commission; crs for the sale of school lands and the management of the common school fund, are hereby authorized and re quired to sell to actual settlers, in such quantities as they shall deenrmost advantageous to the State, not exceed ing a half section to any one settler, itbe lands 'selected and to ,bc selected "for common school purposes, as.fast as -such selections 1 shall be approved by the Commissioner, of ithe General Land .Office, at the price of one dollar: and; twenty-five cents per acre, payable in any lawful money of the United States, Provided, That the prioo per acre fixed 'in this section ' shall apply only to such tract of land as we're or may be occupied by actual and bona fide settlers at the time the land was, or shall be designated as State land ' uu na omie tanus sow or 10 De; sou, subsequently to such designation or location, shall be sold for two dollars per acre." It also requires that the application ot the purchaser shall be acccomnanied by his affidavit; stating'hat htf is ,7re:j siding on the land which. he.applies to purchase, and intends to make it his home, and that ho knows' of no prior settler claiming any part of 6aid land.' Tho .statute, of Oregon, approved . Oct. 28, 1868. provides that, all the. school and-university lands belonging Jto the State shall be offered tor sale, and sold upon the terms-herein prr vided for, and not otherwise, except iracuoni ana 191s 01 SUCQ lands ot eighty acrps or ,less: where separated from other school and university lands, may be sold to, and purchased by any person complying with the conditions in this act;Tmt tho'safe of the remain' der of said lands fhaH be, made outy lo actual settlers thereon, iaqnantities not exceeding three, hundred and twenty acres to any one person;' lYo vided, That settlers shall, have the preference m .the purchase of, all su,cih lands as may bo found to' be occupied at the time of the' passage of this act, or within six months' after takinc ef fect of the same f "but after the.expira tion of six months any person shall .be entitled to purchase any of the above 3ecribcd .lands; iu lots' not to exceed 100 acres, not settledrupon in accord-' anco with tho. provisions of this act, This law also provides, That the application; of tho- purchaser shall be accompanied by" his affidavit touhej effect that he is an actual settler on the Jand described in Tiis application, that he desires to purchase the same" for a lome; and that it was not occupied by vny other person: at tne4imexflus settlement, tc This would seem to prevent the possibility olXho land bo- mjj oougni np oyu speculators., anc present Board have jet aside.the above statute laws, giving speculators a chance 6 make out applications With fictitious names attached, and. .thereby BJoappoliBBgall the'Jands. , As this Juliug of .the Board, was made" shortly; toer the passage of. 'the odious swamp 1'ahcTlawt'Bf Oregori,- and "ai'thyfilors.ion sw(3mp, Jands, fn this county are the parlies through whom, or, from whom the fraudulent applica tions on State lands were made, -we believe the Board of Commissioners' to bu in collusion with the .swamp jand speculators. Many of your petitioners made1 ap plication for their; lands througb"the authorized agent of the Board for this county, but have found that the Board has since allowed these swamp land .-speculators to file on their lands; .'and 1 we have been advised by the Secretary of the Board, T. H. Cann, to compro mise with them for the lands that we hayo .lived upon and improved for. years. This Board has received full 'payment and given deeds for lands that have never been" approved. It has also received, one-third payment,, and lexacted notes bearing interest for the remaining two-thirds, from other parties for the same' class of lands: it has, refused Inpayment and applica-. tion from actual settlers upon the samo class of lands in the same town ship as the others, on the ground that the lands were not, approved aud con sequently not for sale, showing that they were notionly guilty of fraud but, of partiality. Believing' 'from the 'above facts that we are not safe in. the possession of our, lands under the laws of the State, and that it is contrary to the spirit and intent of the United. States laws, for surveyed lands ,to remain unsettled or pass into the hands of speculators,, we therefore, ask that the lands riot yet approved as Stale lands may be thrown open to actnal settlers under the home stead and pre-emption laws of the United Stales, except in cases, where settlers have made payment upon them to the State, and who' would either lose their money or be compelled to. resort to expensive lawsuits to recover it. Wo also ask that some enabling act may be passed giving to settlers who have taken up more land under the State laws than can be covered by tho homestead .or pre-emption- laws, to. pay the government, price for the amount they claim that exceeds -the government allowance; and also to enable, such settlers to date their home stead settlement back to .the time, 'when such settlement was actually made, Aud or this your petitioner, as In duty bouud, shall pyerpray.

It having been currently reported here that Tribble, the nice young man who isbeing petted and-chaperoned by bur1 Honorable Senator and 'his body guard' was a horeethlef iiv Tamhill county and turned". State's. fevidence, the Clerk of that- county was written to, and sends tho following in relation to .the, matter:. "At the time Tribble and.Nunley' were arrested upon the .charge of stealing horses, and Tribble turned State's" 'evidence and Nunley was in dicted, fKunley was not tried or con vicied for stealing the; horses that Tribble assisted him" in- stealing,' but was convicted on another charge' of stealing, and I presume it was in con sequence, of such conviction, that he was not tried upon tho .charge in 'which Tribble confessed his guilt, and, as I' am informed,, testified that he and. LUunley did tho stealing. Yours .respectfully, M, Redding, ' Clerk of-Yamhill Co., Oregon." This is"the "witness upon which' our Honorable Senator hangs his white robes of purity No wonder his bow els yearned for his: witness when .he sawnthat rigid'bonesty'that an upright .life, has marked in Justice Haider's face, ifo wonder he felt like .howling generally, when he got away from Kabler's Court. It was doubtless a great relief for him to give vent to his pent up, vials of corruption; and we earnestly trust that the respectable citizens who were drummed tap to :go 6'n 'Tribble's bonds, after he' had, been tljree days Jn.tbe Sheriffs hands, will continue to. leet $onjqrta$e and, happy in such company? 1 Corbkctjon.

Pirst, The inference, 4s that , ope CyrusuC6nn0ri was' brough before Justice Kahler on a charge of stealing tvman s wife", child'and span of horses. It says' the. evidence developed1 all the" above facts. -I pronounce the' above utterly false, except stealing two horses. the ::iT ''. cnarge of Next.

This, it insmuates. was ,in evidence before me; this' ' positively assert I never heard till some time after :tbo examination Was through. ,'Next. The little childVperson was exhibited at the trial and Tvas' found covered with marks of Connor's" bru tality. 1 pronounce the assertion; that the child was exhibited at the"trial or that there was "any' evidence before the Court that: the child' wag- 'wlnnnixl beat or bruised by any one, an infamous lie. I will now state, in justification of myself, the facts, in the case. One Wm. Savage made complaint before me' .that the crime of"larcenyihad' been committed on or about the Sth day of jivcuciuuur, ioi, jn. JaeKsou, countv.- by stealing two horses, the property 01 complainant; and that he' accuses one Cyrus' Connor of, being guilty of the same. There were several witnes-. ses examined' on; the part of lhft.State, ana tdey all testified to the' ownership of thoso two horses and in whose'1 pos session they' were found, and were, not examined on, any ojher criminal act ot jtlie iefenant but. tho.stealing' of those two borses., . n On the part of the defense Sarah Savage was 'examined, and, ' testified. that she had. two horses of her ,qwn, and that she did give' the said. Cyrus Connor twenty-eight dollars and her two horses to 'put "to" his" team aha waS.ni, M 1Q TYqulcTtake heriand herj household goods toCalifornia. The facts in the case' are, instead of the man stealing the woman, the wo-. man stole the man. I will notice'ancaher item in antarti:, cle in the same issue, of the Ihhes, under, the heading of '"The Perjnry Case." ' In that part of the -article, where it accuses the Justice pfpreju-' dico in favor of theprosecuion, it, says, in obedienco to the instruction oFthe, counsel for the Stale, he held Tribble. to answer in the snra of $500. If say that accusation, is false,. for tbo reason, that the counsellor the State insisted that' the Court should or ought to' put the bail at least to $1,000. I shall not reply to this article. any further, as the attorneys took dovn the testimony and tho'. ruling of 'the; Court, and the exceptions thereto are all filed, and they will' show the facts in' tb C case. j. u urs ruiy, . . , Wm.Kahi.krJ , AttbaVat Oakea'nd: OnTlinrsflaf ereniug aooui; eifliis, ocio;)c, Julius -was 'Stabbed, at Oaklandtby Jame Weaver.
