Wo publish today a statement in regard to Thompson, Bramlette, "While and Hanson, convicted of robbing the Canyon City and Dalles stage, at An telope canyon last Summer. It appears psy.anew mat nas Deen denied, and tkM Lprisofiers have been sentenced to ju iue pemienuary ior me of their natural lives. The aliBiMb2s?: WWg''"tiLuljjtgtlthpiV'ftrTTJiajrT tenccMromitirst to last. We reaa all. the testimony in the case as published in the Oregonian. The testimony was circumstantial in every particular, and not a fact proven but what might be put up against the defendants by the ingenuity of detectives, or those who had an interest in procuring a convic tion. It looks a good deal as it the conviction was procured more through prejudice than a real desire to arrive at the truth. The Portland papers seem to be dumbfounded by any ver sion from the defendants, except a pro test of innocence. Tho Oregonian rays each of the defendants expressed a hope that the mystery enshrouding the case would at last be unraveled, and the guilty parties brought to jns tice. This is poor consolation for inno cent men, and if there is anything which enshrouds the case, which is generally conceded by those who fudge lrom an impartial standpoint, it should have been unraveled before the defend ants were subjected to condign punish ment, or they should have been sat at liberty. It is better that the guilty go clear, than that tho innocent should sufler, and the press does a great wrong in submitting with so rjuch stupidity to a verdict founded hpon uncertain evidence. Nine tenths of all criminals protest their innocence when they hopj for pardon. Tins is no reason why,they are not cuiltr. The editor of the 'tatesman says he has read the evi- ence in the Oregonian. That paper did not pretend to give all tlu evi dence ; and if it was all given, is he a letter judge of the guilt or innocence cf the accused than twelvo jurymen and the Judge? Tie tin'.hia, there were many important facts shown the Judge and jury that have never been printed. The boots of Bramlette, which are unlike any that were ever made by mortal man, were shown the Court and jury. The shoes, and the lacks in tho shoes oi Hanson were shown the jury, and as good men as any in Uregon testined the boots ot ramlette and the shoes of Hansen in rery particular fitted the tracks pre selv. The pistol of Tompkins and ramlette was found on the trail where tlese tracks existed, and the pistol was proven to have been in the posses sion ot lompkins by a man wlio worked for him only a 6hort time be fore the robbery. He had no interest injthe prosecution, and reiuscd to come tOthe trial until brought by an attach ment. Two estimable ladies testified thev knew Tompkins' voice, and that ha, did the talking at the time ot the robbery. Thiee witnesses for the prosecution and two of the defendants' witnesses testified to the commission of the robbery, and twenty-two witues- ses testined to facts and circumstances which tended to show the prisoners wi-re guilty of robbing the mail, be. yond airreasonaUle doub"tr"Notwith. standing all this, this hired editor of the Statesman says "there was not a fact proven but what might be put up against the defendants," and that "it looks a good deal as if the conviction was procured more through prejudice th n a real desire to arrive at the tr th." It may loot like prejudice to a lired editor who, without regard to tr th, sends forth his opinions ; but to th Court, jury, and spectators, who h( rd tho whole trial, it looks like the re . perpetrators of Jhe crime were ot j getting their just dues. 'he United States employed in this ca more than ordinary care to elicit th truth. As soon as the Attorney G icral of the United States was in fo acd of the robbery, he commissioned B ?. Dowell to prosecute jthc robbers a gave him special instructions to t: s the usual oath prescribed for tho r ular U. S. District Attorneys, and tiirocced to the neighborhood where robbery "was committed, and to fiet out the real perpetrators of the cfie. Mr. Dowell took the oath, and immediately proceeded to the seigh-. ,borhood where the crime waSjConmitr ted. He heard the statements cf the friends andfqesof the prisoners is to tho facts and circumstances. Ho ex amined the tracks of tbe boots, shoes and horses, on the gronnd. He became satisfied that the prisoners novrin tho penitentiary were the realy guilty par ties. Ex Governor Gibbs, the regular United States District Attorney,heard all the evidence and ie occana fled they were guilty. jury aro-aji aatiiflea;ifciv?S ti$3 a moral certainty. JiMlge'Hummason V -a was also employed in the prosecution. He knows all the witnesses, and is per fectly satisfied of the prisoners' guilt. Mr. Dowell, Ex Governor Gibbs, Judge Hnmmason, and Judge Deady, have all had more than twentv years experience in the investigation of the acts and doings of criminals and witnesses. They are better qualified to judge of the guilt or innocence of these peniten tiary birds than is the editor of the Boise Statesman. It is truo the most of the evidence was circumstantial ; the corfessions of Bramlette and the voice of Tompkins arc positive and unequivocal evidence ; and the wisdom and experience of ages attest the truth ot the fact of circum stantial evidence when proven by a large number of witnesses, as in this case are more reliable than the direct evidence of one, or even two witnesses. One or two witnesses may swear false ly and deceive the Judge and jury, but a combination of circumstances cannot lie, and can scarcely deceive any Judge or intelligent jury. It is obvious that all facts and cir cumstances which have really hap pened were perfectly consistent with each other, for they did actually so ex ist. The facts proven in this case show it impossible foFthese defendants to be innocent. Who could imitate Tomp kins' voice? How could Bramlette tell tho boots that were jvorn by tho robbers when those bools were both made for the left foot, ind one was worn on the right, without being pres ent at the time the tracksjwere made? How could he tell the route they went unless he had been present? How could he tell the exact size of) the horses' tracks unless these identical horses made the tracks? How? could each nail in the shoes of Hanxn precisely fit the tracks unless they vere worn by the owner? These are known and as certained" facts, proven bt more than a dozen disinterested witnesses. They so coincide and agree with! the guilt of the prisoners as to render the truth of any other hypothesis, on ther principles of reason and experience, exceedingly remote and ' improbable, and morally, though not absolutely and metaphysic ally impossible. "When a fact is thus proven, wtthont any other evidence tho law says the guilt of the prisoners is established as a moral truth. Tbis is all that has ever been required of judge or jury. Add to this the general very bad character of the prisoners, and all the other facts and circumstances that were proven, and no candid man ought to doubt their guilt. TKe"presTTn thevicinity of where these facts were proven showed more good sense in submitting, and remain ing qniet, although friendly to the pris oners, than the Boise Statesman does to be hired to abuse them. If the Statesman means to deal fair, and to give the devil his due, we would ad vise him not only to read the account in the Oregonian. but also tbe account given in the Herald, which was pub lished at the same time, and to noto the difference; and also to examine the notes of the Judge, and then he will plainly seo his own stitpidity, and he may come to the conclusion that no wrong has been done by Jadge, jury or press. Several members of Congress, it is stated, have supplied themselves with copies of the civil service rules, and in answer to importunities for office from constituents mail a copy as a substitute for further answer or explanation.

For a year past prepara tions have been making to put m oper ation at Salem a largo establishment for the manufacture of agricultural im plements and machinery. This estab lishment will go into operation at tho beginning of the coming year. The arrangements that have been made are intended to be sufficient for the manu facture of $80,000 to $100,000 worth of implements and machinery during the year 1873. The importance of such an enterprise as this cannot be over rated. Under proper management it will gfow to greati proportions, and will constitute one of the most import, ant manufacturing establishments in the Slate. It will be a great and be neficent enterprise for Salem, and Its benefits will be felt throughout a largo section ot country. t Iron gravestones are much used in Texas, and are very popular with all who have tried them.
