OREGON SENTINEL.
JACKSO.VVILLE
- Saturdat, September 17, 1881.
C. C. WACOX BOAU.
It seems that Mr. Gasquet is still at
vork with a large force of hands on
the road between Waldo and Crescent
City and it looks as if he goes in real
earnest Josephine county has appro
priated $3,000 to build that portion
lying in Oregon, and Jackson county,
or rather those who were so liberal on
paper, have found a small hole to crawl
oat of and have crawled. It is not
creditable -to our citizens at large after
so much blowing, to go square back on
their own proposition and leave Gas
quet in the lurch and, while the dis
continuance of the road would be a
public calamity to this and Josephine
county, no one cnuld blame Gasquet if
he stopped work at once on it. It is
claimed by those who won't pay the
amount of their subscriptions, and prob-
bly never intended to, that Gasquet
thawHth.qf-tlig, road. It
n that he was going to
"change it as the extravagant width de
manded at first was far beyond his
means and if any one will point to any
road in Southern Oregon wider than
that Gasquet is now constructing six
and a half feet in solid ground we
will admit that the charge was a legiti
mate cause for refusal to contribute.
Many of those who signed the sub
scription list are still ready to pay and
it is notable that those who made the
most noise about the advantages of the
road were the first to button up their
pockets. We do hope the determina
tion of those who are inclined to go
back on the enterprise will bo recon
sidered as Presidential receptions and
apparant exhibitions of bad faith are
not making a pleasant record for us.
It is said tbat the road, so far construct
ed, is the best in the State, and on a
grade that a span of horses can haul
four thousand pounds over with ease,
and it is useless to reiterate the advan
tage of such a road direct to tide water
and it would be only fair that we con
tribute our share to its construction.
x srarATnizMt wiTii jiucder.
The editor of a Democratic news
paper, the "Herald," of Quincy, 111., is
disgraced to his profession. He thus
defends and applauds the action of the
assassin, Guiteau:
honorabld"as the man he shot, and a
miqhty sight less dangerous to the
country at large than that plausible,
smooth-tongued, unprincipled man who,
with a sniffle and pious groan, will
turn from a praye'r to take a bribe,
commit a perjury, or steal a Presiden
cy. The wretch who wrote this is a ruffi
an by nature and an assassin at heart.
These vile words should be indellibly
branded upon his forehead to show a
disgusted civilization what miserable
abortion of gorilla brutishness are
sometimes permitted to assume the
outward semblance of manhood. The
indignant people of that place burned
him in effigy. It was a mistake to
burn an effigy. It should have been
saved to fill a vacant editorial chair in
that office, and the villian should have
been burned alive. We are tired of
the maudlin sympathy that apologizes
for assassination no watter if the
victim be the humblest citizen in the
land, and we pray for even justice,
though it must be obtained in a rude
and un technical way.

An observant cotemporary notes
that whenever a newspaper says a kind
word of a man, that man never discov
ers the favor; but if a newspaper
bandies a man a little roughly, the
nan finds it out by eight o'clock
next morning. This is the kind of
man who, when conferring with the
Isditor upon Ins grievance, says his "at
tention has been called to the article
Kn question.

TAUTlt'lLAUS OF THE SII00TI.NG AT
Gl'ITCAC.
Washington-, Sept. 12. After Ma
son shot at Guiteau yesterday he said:
"I have been at it for ten days. I
hope I have done the work in good
style." Mason then walked toward
the commanding officer, Capt. McGil
vray, saying, "Captain, I have tried
to kill that dirty loafer in there.
Hero's my gun and bayonet. Take
me in charge." McGilvray had heard
the shot, but had not dreamed of Ma
son's intention. He placed Mason in
tho custody of two soldiers. There
was much excitement about the jail
and inside of it. The prisoners who
had heard tho shot ran to the windows
and shouted. Warden Crocker and
his deputy, who had been in the jail
office, ran through the corridors to
Guiteau's cell and found him on his
knees terror stricken. "Do they want
to murder meJ" he asked. Tho warden
assured him that he need have no fear.
"I was standing at my window when
one of those soldiers fired at me. The
ball passed .by my ear and went
through my coat hanging un there and
tore a piece of the photograph of ray
mother which was in the pocket." The
warden discovered that tho ball had
not hit the prisoner's body and then
went outsido to see who had fired the
shot. It was agreed that it would be
best to tell Guiteau that the shooting
was accidental. This announcement
was made to him; the explanation be
ing that a soldier in getting out of a
wagon had accidentally discharged his
gun. It was decided that Guiteau
should be removed to another cell and
he was placed in ono formerly occupied
by Stone, who murdered his wife.
No official notice of Sergt. Mason's
offense has yet reached the war depart
ment. It is stated there that Mason
will be promptly surrendered if a de
mand is made for him by the civil au
thorities. Thus all complications will
be avoided. If such demand is not
made Mason will bo tried by court
martial. Army officers generally ex
press a feeling of mortification at the
attempt of Guiteau's life as reflecting
on the discipline and good name of the
service.
oik i-iii:sidi:nt.
Tho case of President Garfield is be
coming notable for its alternation of
light and shade. On Saturday last
hope well nigh departed, and the peo
ple prepared to mourn and to think
jinon fitting ways to express their
gnef and their respect lor tho memory
of the dead. Quickly there was a rea
wakening of mind and strength, and
the peopletagain rejoiced at tho chances
of recovery. Thus the matter stands
at this writing. The President is
much better than he has been, and yet
there must be much more progress
gained before the President will be out
of danger.
The incidents of the President's ill
ness will not be forgotten during the
present generation. Never before has
the public mind dwelt upon the sig
nificance of symptoms and been led to
study the relations between pulse, res
piration and teniparture. Never has
tho danger and distress of gun-shot
wound been so widely appreciated, and
if the thought on this subject should
lead to more restricted use, of weapons
in low as well as in high places, it
would be a public benefit.
The latest from the President, re
ceived by telegraph last evening, states
he has had another very bad day and
his case has again become critical. The
trouble now seems to be an abscess on
the lung, although Dr. Agnew calls it
merely a circumscribed inflammatory
trouble in the nature of bronchical
pneumonia. '
m '
If it were permitted to compare
great things with small, we should say,
after mature deliberation, that Mr.
CnnVlinejs action in resigning his seat
was liHito that of TfiShonest (arnP
er who hitclied himself ap with a lusty
yearling steer in order to accustom the
animal to the yoke. Shortly after
wards he was heard exclaiming, "Head
us ofll" Blame our fool souls here
we come! When after 36 hours of
hard work tho doctors brought him to
what passed for his senses, the old
gentleman remarked. "That ar steer
hadn't made mor'n a dozen jumps 'fore
I realized I had made a mistake!"
Elections occur this Fall in Near
York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia
and Mississppi. The only State officer
to bo elected in Pennsylvania is the
Treasurer. In New York a full State
ticket is to be elected, except Governor
and Lieutenant-Governor, together
with members of the Legislature and
four members of-Congress. Full Stato
tickets and legislators are to be elected
in Virginia, Mississippi and Ohio.
A Convention was held recently at
Sitka, for the purpose of taking steps
to induce Congress to grant Alaska a
Territorial Government.
THE JIAI.NL LLt.ClIO.1.
Reports give tho Republicans an
other member of the house, which, not
counting the four vacancies in New
York, stands: Republicans 144, Dem
ocrats 133, Greenbackers 9, Readjust
ers 2, Independent Republican, Hyatt
Smith, of Brooklyn. If the Republi
cans elect three out of four New York
members, they will have just enough
to organize the House. If the Demo
crats should elect two members, as they
claim they can, then the Republicans
will need the help of Smith to organ
ize the House. It is claimed he will
act with them. Five of the Green
backers were formerly Republicans,
and will probably act with that party
as against the Democrats. They are
Brunned of Pennsylvania, and Rice,
Hazeltine, Ford and Burroughs of
Missouri. Jones, of Texas, another
Greenbacker, though formerly u Dem
ocrat, is now a bitter opponent of that
party, and would be more likely to vote
against it than with it Ladd and
Murch of Maine, and Musgrove of
Pennsylvania, "would no doubt vote
with the Democrats on organization,
should it be a contest between thesetwo
parties. What the two Readjusters
may do there is no means of telling.
The result of the coming election in
Virginia will probably have considera
ble influence in determining the politf
cal status in the next Congress. The
Greenback leaders especially declare
they intend to make a caucus nomina
tion for speaker, and stand by that
nomination to the last Then there is
a good deal of talk of coalition of the
Democrats and Greenbackers, but
such a combination could not win un
less the Virginia Readjusters join in,
provided Republicans succeed in elect
ing two of the four members to be
chosen in New York. Should the
Democrats capture Miller or Lapham's
district, it might be fatal to Republi
can ascendency, as it would enable the
opposition by combination to muster a
majority. The chances are favorable
to the Republican organization, but
the vote is likely to be so close that a
iudden death or case of illness might
destroy all calculations.
The Railroad Land Crnnt.
We learn that the engineers of the
O. it C. R. R. are now engaged in lo
cating the line for their extension south
of Roseburg. The line, mapped and
filed at Washington, will secure, at
least for the present, tho land grant
which is about to laps' by reason of
I'tlti lalliifMl cue tffJlffli .ou.,-.-
complete the road. It will hardly
seem fair to hold the Villard manage
ment responsible for tho failure of the
German bondholders, and if work on
the road is begun and proceeded with
in earnest the grant should be extend
ed a reasonable length of time as the
difficulties expense of building south of
Roseburg entitle the company to all
the subsidy it can obtain. Besides, the
land iu its present state of isolation, is
actually valueless while the building
of the road will create a value for the
moiety reserved by the government.
We hope our representative, Mr.
George, will work hard at the next
session of Congress to procure an ex
tension as it will be no small induce
ment to the company to complete the
road at the earliest moment.
l'lant I'rult Trees.
Now, that it is reasonably certain
that we are to have a railroad, we
again call attention to the immense
fruit trade that can be built up with
Northern Oregon when the road is
finished, especially in fine peaches and
grapes, It will hardly do to wait un
til communication is opened before
planting as there will bajustabout
time to start "an orchard and have it
bearing when the track reaches the
valley, and thoso who are ready will
reap the harvest. Farmers must not
despise pmall things and the day is
coming when our fruit will be worth
gcnlturp
tie more remunerative.

We have it from the most reliable
sourco that ex-Attorney-General Wil
liams is not, nor will under any in
ilucement, be a candidate for TJ. S.
Senator during the coming contest.
Democratic editors will therefore take
notice that all campaign artillerv
loaded with ''laundalet" cartridges will
be a pure waste of material. Mr.
Williams has come to our state as a
private citizen, intending to practice
his profession, and is no target for
Democratic mud-throwers. Dalles

Senator Jones, of Nevada, settled a
discussion about the inability question
the other day by the bold declaration
thatinca.se President Garfield should
at any time call upon Arthur to act as
President, the latter would refuse, say
ins: the inability required bv the con.
stitution. In refusing he would sug
gest that the President call conrres
