JL B Lr-TO THE OREGON SENTINEL "Wednesday, ; : January 29, 1879 BIOCKAriUCUi SKETCHES. MICHAEL HASLEY. One of tha early pioneers of Soutt ern Oregon, -was born in "Western "Vir ginia in 1824, from whence Lis family removed to Ohio, -where he spent his early manhood, afterwards becoming a citizen of Louisiana. In 1849 Mr. Hanley was taken with the "gold fev er" and emigrated early in that year to California. Striking for the mines he first tried his luck at "Jackson," in Amador county, afterwards at Nelson creek, one of the richest tributaries of Feather river, where ho realized a handsome stake which was prudently saved. Tired of the WillameiMHt pushing Lfue tie remaineu- jntil 1854. In that year Mr. H. vis ited Rogue Hiver Valley and purchas ed the donation claims of Clinton and "Welton, about two miles from Jackson ville, containing 640 acres, to which he has added about 700 acres tnore, and made under his careful management a princely home. In 185 G he married Miss Martha Melvina Burnett, eldest daughter of Col. John S. Burnett, of Douglas county, an estimable lady, who has proved a valuable "help meet" and by whom he has raised a family of six children. Mr. Hanley is now 54 years of age and a true type of the western fanner; his energy and probi ty aro proverbial in this county. Mr. H. has always been independent in politics, although a southern man, has generally acted with the Bepublican party. He v has always refused office except once when he accepted and cred itably filled the position of school di rector; and has by careful attention to his own affairs achieved a foremost po sition among the stock growers and ag riculturists of Jackson county. on: ..u:iuvr caigk. Wo take the following from the Et na correspondence of the Yreka "Union:" In "both the "Union" and "Journal" )uple of weeks ago, appeared a ley witli tlie ocean. Although it was generally read, I do not think the mat ter received attention from our people generally which its importance to us demanded. It is a well understood fact that we do not raise more farm produce in Siskiyou than what can be consumed right here, and if we could by any means help to create a market for the surplus of Ilogue -river valley, other than to Siskiyou county, we would be sure of reasonable prices for all wo can raise, which we certainly dojjetget now, owing to the competi from Southern Oregon. Of courso wo are a trifle mad at the Oregonians for running down the prices, but we can not in reason blame them for getting rid of their surplus wherever they see a chance, and no doubt, in their places we would do the same thing, and the matter is to help them to create some other outlet for their surplus produce. In this way all parties would be benefitted, and we would ill be happy. There is loose money en ough lying, around in Siskiyou to build two such roads and it behooves our farmers to take some action that will push tho enterprise to a success ful issue. -I ABOIT MAIL SERVICE. One J. D. Carr lias filled tho col nmns of the S. F. "Chronicle" with bitter complaints against the 'Post Office Department and denunciations of mail contractors in California and Oregon. 2Ir. Carr's chief cause of complaint is apparently the exorbitant price paid for tho mail service between Redding and Roseburg, but really that J. D. Carr is not the contractor. This man Carr was once tho contractor on this route, being paid two hundred and twenty five thousand dollars for carry ing the mails when they were two thirds lighter than they are now, and Mr. J. D. Carr made no complaint The public did complain, however, for they had good cause, tho mails being usually twenty-four hours behind time, and public documents that belonged to tho people, being delayed or strewn along the route. Mr. Carr would have liked the contract again, and he swore lhat he would have it if it broke him. His philanthropy stopped right there, for at the last lettings ho proposed to carry the mails at 82,000 per annum,, while the present company wore carry ing it at 873,000. This was just the real extent of this man's zeal, and he may as well be assured that tho pul Jic are quite satisfied with the manner in which the present company are car rying the mails, and that there is no iau&e of complaint wbatevi ' - '- " Jr-. -U4-cnluilHiiC "-o-Hri ix jervEB to ax reel. It is with a ridiculous sublimity that a Democratic journal in Southern Ore gon comes to the mourner's bench and in an eloquent and fervid peroration renews its political vows. It remarks wisely that "the leopard may change his spots, the Ethiopean his skin, but that principles never die." This is true, but sometimes principles are lost sight of and forgotten by political or ganizations. The Democratic party was once guided by principles that honest men aonld stand by, but where are theyl Crushed out of sight by the despotic heel of its own power! Sinco war the word 'Demociacy" has meant anything to win. It has been all things to all men; everything to ev ery section. It- wa3 ence national nartv but it is bo no longer. Jt de- nds hard money for the soft handed bondholder, soft roc3j fcr fee hard handed western fanner, gold for the i-iu' u:tt money king, (and' "worthless rags" for the tiller-of the soil. It has been gracious to the negro voter in Ohio while bulldozing his colored brother in Mississippi into political subjection. It shouts "Vivi la Com mune" where the commune & strong frowns on the commune where aristoc racy is more powerful It fawned at the feet of Grant and would have wor shipped him, but the brave soldier de pised and spurned it It took Sher man in its arms and would have made him an idol but the .gallant captain pierced its disguises and turned away in contempt. It clung to the Republi can philosopher, who was crazed by ambition, as Ruth clung to lfacnit, and said unto him: "Entreat me not to leave thee; or to return from following after thee, for whither thou goest I will go, and where thou lodgest I will lodge. Thy people shall bo my people, thy Uod my Uodr It survived Urcc ley to join its fortunes to a railror-d wiecker, clinging to him with a desper ate strength till he himself was wreck ed by his own friends, and then cring ed like Lazarous, at the Presidential gate and accepted the crumbs flung to it from the National table. It lay down with "Beast" Butler, consorted with a "spoon thief," and wept bitter tears on his neck when the old man sorrowed J." or eighteen Jon" stances, cbangjhgr with locality likt. the color of the chameleon. It has simply meant anything for s access, aid when a journalist professes tins., err j. 3 fidelity to Democratic principles he con fesses himself the slave of an abstract idea without the slightest comprenen sion of its significance. Talking about principles without an effort to revive them and lead a party from the bond age of greedy ambition is only servile following not independent journal ism. WILL EXPLAIN. Tho Democratic journals of Oregon are still loud in their demands that Brig. GenT. Ross explain the disap pearance of about thirteen thousand dollars worth of commissaryjtores, re maining unused at the end of the ! doc war. If they will take the trou ble to refer to the report of Governor Grover to General Schofield they will see in whose hands the supplies were and who gave personal supervision to all the details of tho commissary and quartermaster department. If the correspondents from Jacksonville do not desire to gel the feet of some of their friends in a very dangerous L-ap they will keep quiet on this subject as, if Gov. Thayer carries out the instruc tions of the Investigating committee, the parties who filched the unused stores can not escape exposure. Brig. Gen'L Hoss asks no sympathy but de mands a trial before conviction. If the captious journals will examine his report they will ascertain what his duties were, and if editors, to whom Grover is the very incarnation of Dem ocratic principles, will peruse his re port they will learn some interesting facts, just about the close of that docu ment, and if honest in their demands that the guilty be punished, turn their attention to some one besides Ross. There are well recognized -rules among publishers, one of which is cred it to the proper source for "clippings." No gentleman will disregard this rule but some of our "Willamette exchanges persistently omit its application. We have only to say that when a newspa per man continually copies from one paper and gives credit to another he violates both truth and courtesy and shows a soul so small that when the last trump sounds all the Angels in Heaven will fail to find it A petition is being circulated asking the Secretary of War to relieve GenL O. O. Howard from command of the Dept o the Columbia. It is said to havo been extensively circulated in the counties' oa-st of the mountains where it has received a large-number of signatures.. vwirB tnfi I " - -- nwrnruaatACTi hn ffWn Lr iBaHaHiHi.faB iwu.u.uu J' -J ' F -& """ -" f -"S COXPUMETTAttY. Biu Butte, Ogn Jan. 24th, 1879. Editor Seotitiel: Though I am a Democrat I believe in giving credit whore credit is due. Our locality has been estensively settled for many years, and, notwithstanding this fact, all efforts hitherto to get a mail route established to this place havo proven futile. Last year another trial was made and the matter entrusted to Sen ator Mitchell. To our surprise as well as to our pleasure we had an of fice established, Senator M. leaving no stone unturned until our wants were cared for. When a petition was sent him to increase the time from a serai to a tri-vreekly mail ho showed the same interest as heretofore and the same was eranted. For his work in our favor he deserves the lasting tl i t !.: ,,;,r - A Democrat. Change In Scuoori Liv.-i-Tho hfi5,t legislature made some important chan ges in the school law to which we direct the attention of school clerks. The law now directs: "That all Or ganized districts shall hold annual meetings on the first Monday in March. It has been made the duty of the clerk of each district to make out and transmit to the county Superinten dent by the first Monday in March a report of all the children in his district over four and under twenty years of age. Neglect to do this will forfeit the district's share of the public funds. W. M. Turner is again associated wifh the OnraoN Sentinel. Last we knew cf him he sent us word he was dead and we marked his subscription paid. That's the way William did us. "Portland Bee." Long connected with the profession in Oregon we regard this notice as neither courteous nor witty. William nccr died, never was on the Bee's list, out if he had been would have only s!iown his good judgement in ask In" to be erased therefrom. i iiritiMTOa CHAS. J.
