OREGON SENTINEL.
JACKSONVILLE t
Saturday, October 15, 1881.
The whole nation is unanimous on
tht point that Guitcau should- bo
brought to trial speedily and be
promptly convicted. Any legal jug
glery will be resisted.
Sentiment written in a church fair
album at Fremont, Ohio, by Mr.
Butherf6rd B. Hayes: "My young
friends, never be afraid of criticism or
ridicule. The thing: done avails; and
sot' what is said about it."
A well-qualified juror in the Gui
tau case can be found in Indiana,
near Greencastle. He entered' a- store
there and asked the meaning of the
display of mourning emblems on the
houses. When told that it was in
memory of the dead President, he said:
"Ob, yp, I beliee I did hear that he
was very sick."
Queen Victoria ordered the English
court into mourning, in respect to our
fallen President and the nation's be
reavement Th'e day of the obsequies
was generally observed throughout the
English realms. Truly a good and
great wan belongs to the world. The
sympathy of" the English people will
unile tKe two nations in stronger bonds
of unity and fellowship.
Gen. Nelson A. Miles, commanding
the department of the Columbia, hav
ing obtained permission from the
war department, appointed Lieut. Fred
erick A. Schwatka his aid-de-camp.
Gen. Miles' action in honoring the
young explorer will gratify the thou
sands of Lieut. Schwatka's admirers
in this State, who Have rejoiced vith
hitii at the world-wide fame achieved.
Senator Bayard of Delaware was
elected President of the U. S. Senate
on Oct 11th by a vote of 34 to 32,
making
United
Illinois
him Vice President of the
States. Senator Davis of
did not vote on either side.
Senators Aldrich of Bhode Island and
Miller and Lapham of New York were
sworn in after tho election of the
President, but no choico has yet been
made for Secretary of the Senate.
A World's Washington special says:
Word comes from the jail thatGuiteau
has been suffering torments from ap
prehension of public feeling for the
past few days, due to Scoville's having
left a bunch of newspapers behind him
after his visit on Tuesday. These
were the first newspapers Guiteau had
seen since his confinement, and several
of them being of western publication
referred to him in terms characteristi
cally expressive.
In the proceedings of the XT. S. Sen
ate last Friday their action in electing
Thos. F. Bayard President of that body
was reconsidered and Senator Divid
Davis of Illinois was elected in his
stead This is as it should be, as the
Republicans elected their President
and Vice President at the last-election,
and when, all tho Senators are present
the Bepublicans also have a majority
in that body, and rhould havo their
presiding officer, who is also the V tee
President in tho present case.
There has been organized in San
Francisco a sccitty for the purpose of
encouraging silk culture on this coast.
The silk worm thrives exceedingly
well in California, as has been dem
onstrated; by many successful experi
ments. In fact so much has this in
dustry grown that a sewing-silk man
ufactory has been, for some time in op
eration there and it is claimed makes
a. very superior article of thread. Silk
worniH feed upon the green leaves of
the White mulberry and of the Osage
orange and whereever these can be
grown,, and. both grow well here, silk
worms may be successfully and prof
itable reareil. It might bo well for
some of our enterprising farmers to in
vestigate the matter, which can be done
by corresponding with Mrs. E. H.
Carr, the secretary of the above society
at San Francisco.
It is a well-known fact that slavery
exists in California in tho most hideous
form among the Chinese, in the face of
California law. The Chronicle in the
following sensible manner dwells upon
the subject: "There is not an intelli
gent man in the State who does not
know that these things have existed
here for twenty years the most bru
talizing from of slavery; systematized
perjury and subornation; secret socie
ties of Chinese organized for murder;
and behind them all the moral force
and money of the Six Companies. And
yet the law, the courts, the police are
doing no iuoro to break up the infamy
than if it were something from which
no shame and disgrace comes to the
State. ' It is a dark and
damning abomination for the continu
ance of 'which our law, our courts and
our police are responsible; and we warn
all whom it concerns that unless this
hideous infamy of woman slaver is
suppressed by legal methods, there is a
day coming when the people will rise
in their indignation and visit terrible
vengeance on these Mongolian sub
orners, purjurers, slave owners, police
bribtrs and organized murderer.
THEO. tC. B. B.
An editorial in the Boseburg "Plain
dealer" of Oct 1st, entitled "Why," is
so exceedingly unfair in tone and erro
neous in fact, that we feel impelled in
the interest of common fairness to ad
vise the editor of that journal, when he
takes his next vacation, to leave some
person in charge of the editorial de
partment of his paper, who, if he has
not enough industry to proyide himself
with facts when he writes, will at least
have discretion enough to refrain from
writing without them, and to confine his
editorial efforts to the use of the scissors
and paste pot. The subject of this ed
itorial is railroad building in general,
and the building of the proposed exten
sion of the 0. it C. B. B. in particular.
Tho writer offers as an excuse for the
article a desire to keep in fashion, and
kindly admonishes, us that his ideas
"are to be taken for what there is in
them."' And is it possible that fashion,
the fickle goddess of the fair, has
invaded the sanctum of our cotempora
ry with her all-subduing presence? We
feel an awful goneness in the region of
our heart, as wo try to imagine the ap
palling spectacle of our fellow laborer,
seated uneasily in his cushioned chair,
and vainly endeavoring to shape his
utterances according to some intellectu
al fashion plate. And it is with dis
mal forebodings that we contemplate
his future, as we remember the one fa
miliar characteristic of all fashion plates
that of demanding more material
than is at hand. His ideas, he says,
"are to-be taken for what there is in
them." Is this a gentle precaution to
a too partial circle of his readers, whose
habit it has been to take his ideas for
something more than was in them J
However this may be, we cannot sup
press the suggestion that a more accu
rate estimate of his production would
have consigned it to the tender oblivi
on of the waste basket.
lie says it is fair to presume that
the reason why the company propose
to extend their road down through this
valley is, that they expect a large pat
ronage from the producing clas3 in tho
matter of exports. This is certainly
true as far as it goes, but the presump
tion must bo pushed one step farther
in order to reach the whole truth. Our
people are consumers as well as pro
ducers, and our imports should be con
sidered as well as our exports. It is
almost impossible to believe that any
man within the broad limits of this
State, whose mind is not a staring
blank, would publicly assert that it is
an admitted fact, that there are not
twenty-five first class farms in this val
ley, capable of raising any amount of
grain above what is needed for home
consumption. Yet this is just what is
asserted in the article in question.
Verily when such ignorance raises its
verdant head in our very midst, it is
high time some missionary work was
being inaugurated. It is an admitted
fact too, he says, but we cannot consent
to believe that any man in the TJmp
qua valley wou'd make such an ad
mission, unless at the point of the pis
tol, and so feel obliged to adopt the
more reasonable belief, that the ad
mission was obtained from the empty
echo of his own desires. Upon this
basis, he concludes that thirty car
loads of flour, five tons of dried peaches,
two hundred bales of wool for export
and one hundred and twenty car loads
of imports will include all that the
railroad can reasonably expect from
Bogue river valley. For the enlight
enment of the author of this ill-timed
effort, we beg leave to submit a few
plain facts, perfectly familiar to every
man who lias made any etiort to un
derstand the extent of our resources,
but which will, no doubt, to him possess,
the novelty of unwelcome news. From
a report, made in June, 1S81, by a
committee of competent gentlemen
who 8pared no pains to arrive at the
facts, wo extract so much as is necessa
ry to our present purpose as follows:
"We find at the present time the
amount of land enclosed and partially
under cnltivation to be about 140,000
acres, and the present products to be
about as follows:
Wheat, 300,000 bushels; oats, 350,
000 bushels; barley, 100,000 bushels;
.rye, 3,000 bushels; corn, 40,000 bush
els; potatoes, 60,000 bushels; apples,
100,000 bushels; peaches, 15,000 bush
els; pears and plums, 15,000 bushels;
hay 30;000 tons; wool 250,000 pounds,
grapes, 150,000 pounds; butter, 25,-
000 pounds; cheese, 15,000 pounds;
onions, 100,000 pounds; barjon, 400,
000 pounds; lard 80,000 pounds.
Tne amount of mineral lands, con
sisting of gold or placer mines, cinna
bar and quartz mines, lying upon the
western and southern borders of our
county, comprises an area of about
fifteen miles in width, and sixty miles
in length, and upon which there aro
already erected at great expense, large
mining improvements and a great
many are under construction upon oth
er parts of this mineral land. We al
so find that only about one half of the
arable land now enclosed, that has
passed into the hands of individuals,
is cultivated. The amount of land
passed from the government to indi
viduals in .the county is about 275,000
acres, and there yet remains in the
hands of the government a large
amount of land susceptible of profita
ble cultivation." The present products
of this valley are not the sole, nor in
deed the principal consideration in es
timating the advantages of this route.
The probable development of our re
sources should bo considered. It is
well known that this valley does not
produce above one half the amount of
wheat that the land now under fence
can and would produce, if there was any
market for the surplus. Thousands of
bushels of apples, peaches, plums,
pears and other kinds of fruit yearly
rot in the orchards, because there is no
market for them. And the fruit of
all kinds now raised, is but a small
fraction of what would be raised, if
there was any means of reaching a
market. Our foot hills that now only
raise chapparal, would blossom out in
to beautiful and profitable vineyards,
and on tfcs whole, it is not beyond the
truth oKi fair estimate, to muliply our
present surplus by four or five, while
our imports would gradually increase
with the increasing emigration, whiih
is sure to follow the completion of the
road. To these should be added the
passenger and express traffic no in
considerable item. And when it is re
membered that, although the route
through the valley is longer than that
down the coast, the expense will be
little if-any more, it does not seem en
tirely unreasonable that this route
should be selected. Yes sir, just as
sure as the sun continues to lift his
smiling face above our eastern hills,
just that suro we will have a railroad;
and if this company does not take ad
vantage of its opportunity, some ether
one wijl, and sooner or later, Bose
burg will be compelled to relinquish
the royalty, -which the circumstances of
her situation, enable her to -levy upon
the people of this valley.
gutiui:.
Guiteau has been formally indicted
for murder in the first degree by the
grand jury for the District of Colum
bia. A cloud of bad looking and musty-smelling
technicalities touching
his case has been raised, and although
many of them appear harmless enough,
there is one which it is to be feared
may, in these days of judicial jug
gling, prove somewhat unfortunate
in the disposition of this case. It is
this: The late President Garfield was
shot in the District of Columbia but
ho died in the State of New Jersey. It
isnow claimed, that uuderthe law of the
District of Columbia, the fact that the
died out of the District is sufficient to
deprive the court there of the power
to try his murderer. It is however
admitted, that, under the law of the
State of New Jersey, he can be tried
there, as the death of the President in
that State gives the court jurisdiction
of the case, no matter where the crime
which caused the death was commited.
But suppose Guiteau is tried and con
demned in the District of Columbia,
and then the court, upon motion for
new trial should decide, that it hps
committed an error in assuming juris
diction of the case and had no legal
right to try him. He is then a free
man, so far as the laws of the District
of Columbia are concerned. He might
then bo indicted in the State of New
Jersey; but suppose that in answer to
this indictment, he should plead the
fact of the former trial, and, under
that old maxim of tho law that no
man shall be twice put in jeopardy
for the same offence insist that he
could not again be tried. Of course
there may bt no danger in all this, and
everybody hopes there may be none,
but criminal justice, as latterly admin'
istered has made most people rather
suspicious of anything which tends
to complicate matters. If it is true
that the New Jersey courts have un
disputed jurisdiction of this case, it
certainly seems that the straight and
safe way would be to take the criminal
to New Jersey and try him there.
A Cakd. Everyone knows that
sewing machines are sold for twice
what they should bo, and .the reason
the purchaser pays two prices is bo
cause he pays: 1st, for the machine;
2d, the traveling expenses of and a
good round commission to the agent
who sells to him; 3d, tho cost of col
lection, etc.', when he buys on time.
The way to remedy this is to buy your
machines for cash, at fair living pi ices.

To the Tkade: Practical experience
has demonstrated to us that the trade re
quires a choice old Bourbon for immedi
ate Use. For it is well known that straight
whisky that is absolutely pure requires
age, .crcat care and attention, and our old
Davenport whisky possesses all the above
qualities. The s;rain used in the distilla
tion of our J ll. Davenport whisky is
carefully selected from the finest, richest
and viry lcst crown in the state ot Ken
lucky. The water is drawn -from one of
the tinest limestone springs in the btate,
the peculiar properties of which have
gained lor KentucKy whiskies such world
wide celebrity. This process makes our
J H. Duvenport a pure, hand made, sour
mash -dusky, and we claim that for deli
cacy of ilavor, purity and medicinal qual
ities, it stands unexcelled.
