OREGON SENTINEL. JACICSOXVaLBl Saturday, October 22, 1881. The widow of President Lincoln re ceived, from Congress 25,000 one years' salary the franking privilege for fife and a pension of 3,000 a year. Oregon has sent away 14 vessels with wheat, has six in port and seve-ty-one on the way, due between this and next March. These will carry 136,500 tons, leaving 293,500 tons, or" 167 vessels to be obtained if we ship all our surplus before nest Au-St- Nash, Chairman of the Republican State Central Committee of Ohio, says that Foster's majority over Bookwalter will be 24,000 and the other candi dates on the Republican ticket will be about 2,500 more. The House will be about 70 Republican to 11 Democratic, The official figures cannot be obtained for several days, Chicago Times special says the Presi dent has selected for Secretary of State, Theodore Frelinghuysen; Treasury, Foljer; War, Lincoln; Navy, probauly General Ned Beale; Attorney General, either Boutwell or B. H. Brewster, of Philadelphia, or possibly Phillips of North Carolina, present Solicitor; Post master General, partly promised to Howe, .of "Wisconsin; Secretary of Interior lies between Sargent and Wes ton, each Senator not yet named. In 1841, when Tyler succeeded Har rison, the Democrats were in a major ity in the Senate, and elected Samuel L. Southard (a Democrat) President of the Senate. He remained in office just a year, when the Whigs secured a majority, and elected Mr. Mangum (a Whig), who held the office until the close of the administration. When Fillmoro succeeded Taylor, in 1850, the Demcrats were in a majority in the Senate and elected one of their num ber, William R. King, to succeed him. Ae held the office Hntil he was elected Vice President on the ticket with Pierce. Guiteau has been broughtinto Court smdhas pleaded not guilty to the indict ment His attorney asked for a de lay that he might procure testimony and prepare His difense; and in bupport of this request filed his affidavit, which .discloses the grounds of defense, name ly, that the prisoner was insane and that the wound inflicted on the Presi dent was not necessarily fatal. No one will be surprised at this line of defense as it is just what everybody expected it to be. The trial is set for the 7th. of November. In the meantime, the question, of jurisdiction' is to be deter mined. We can only wait and watch and we shall see, what we will see. Of the twenty-one Presidents of the United States seven were born in Vir ginia, three in North Carolina, three in Ohio, two in Massachusetts, two in New York, one in New Hampshire, one in Pennsylvania, one in Kentucky, and one in Vermont. When elected five were residents of Virginia, three of New York, three of Ohio, three of Tennessee, two of Massachu setts, two of Illinois, one of Pennsylva nia, one of New Hampshire and one of Louisiana. Eleven were born in the southern states and ten in the north ern. When elected nine were resi dents of southern states and twelve of northern. No resident of a state west of. the Mississippi has ever filled the presidential office, though that section contained three times the population of theentire union at tho time of the adoption, of the constitution. Guiteau's preparations for playing tho insanity dodge are being rapidly completed. Everybody who has erer referred to him as "a queer fellow," an "eccentric genius," or a "crank," will doubtless be invited to come forward and testify that his mind is not as well balanced as was that of George Wash ington. Nowadays a murderer, to be accepted by an American Court as a fit candidate for the hangman's noose, must possess tho wisdom of a Solomon or a Solon. Our Judges and juries are growing too intensely fastidious. It is not hazarding too much to pre dict that Guiteau will never be hanged unless a mob hangs him. If he is hanged legally the circumstance may well be regarded as surprising, and as a subject of general congratulation. He claims that he will be all right if he only gets "a fair trial." Perhaps he has merely formed this opinion from the case with which other murderers have escaped punishment If he gets off as pleasantly as he anticipates, how ever, the long suffering American peo pie may finally conclude to examine into the merits of a judicial system which is simply a disgrace to the country. Reforms imperatively needed will then probably be instituted with a thoroughness that will atone somewhat for long delay. YOKKTOW.V. The celebration, which took place at Yorktown, on last Wednesday, Thurs day and Friday, to commemorate the surrender. of Cornwallis was one of the most brilliant and impressive of the centennial observances of the prin cipal events of the war of the Revolu tion. Here at this little, quiet, out of the way town, onehundredyearsago,tho great struggle forNational existence was ended. It washere,thatthe fire of patri otism, well nigh extinguished, leaped up again with renewed energy, and with oue grand effort, swept the last vestige of royalty from American shores. And as the haughty, British army marched out with incased colors, and laid down their arms, the last link in the long chain of tyranny was broken, and we were free. Blessed with freedom for an hundred years, it is almost impossi ble for us to justly appreciate the feel ings of those, to whom freedom then came as a long looked for, almost des paired of reward. New generations have been born who have always been free. It seems a matter of course that we should be free, and while we can calculate the importance of this last, grand struggle, and can estimate the advantage it secured to us and the world, we cannot approach the feeling of infinite relief and rejoicing, that filled the breast of the weary soldier whose glory it was to have shared the labors of that day. The centennial celebrations, of which this is the last, have been a great credit to America, and have amply repaid us for all the time and money that havo been ex pended on them. They have been the means of arousing a deeper spirit of patriotism, and of inducing a more general and careful study of American history. It is a lamentable fact' and one fraught with great danger too, that the history and theory of our govern mant are very imperfectly understood by the great mass of our voters. Any thing which serves to advance our ed ucation in this direction must be pro ductive of Fome good. A few years ago almost on this very spot the de scendants of the patriots, whose mem ory this celebration honors met each other in deadly struggle during a great civil war. Now the e survirers ot tins struggle meet each other again not to fight but to unite hands ami join their voices in one. loud pcanof praiFe to the memory of those dead heroes whose living hands had set here the final jewels in the crown nf Amri-np lib- erty. A strange scene and one that can find no parallel outside the United States. Republicans we may be or Democrats or Greenbackers;. we may belong to the north or to the BOuth, to tho east Qr to the west;, in time- of po litcal excitement, we stand up man fully for our political conviction under our special partisan banner but above and beyond all we are Americans. But while we are thus doing honor to our own country wo must not and we do not forget the honor that is due to the great nation who, when our cause seemed almost hopeless, reached out to us a strong hand and gave us that help without which we could not have succeeded. The French govern ment with all her errors should hold a sacred place in the regard of every American. The blessing of American liberty to Americans, is beyond the power of estimating but its blessing to the world at large is infinitely beyond even this. The very word America has beome a synonym for liberty so thatto liberate a people and give them the right of free government, is to Americanize them. And as the world moves on growing wiser and better day by day the spirit of our liberty is grandually and surely spreading its in fluence even to the remotest land where humanity has made its home. "Breathes there a man With soul so dead, That never to himself hath said, This is my own, my native land." Wo regard as deeply significant the following from the London "Spectator" concerning the death of James A. Garfield. It helps to explainthe great interest Englishmen take in American political affairs. The "Spectator"' says the week has been saddened for Eng lish speaking men. The Queen's un precedented act in ordering mourning for one, neither a sovcreing nor a rela tive, precisely expresses the universal feeling that an Englishman wus in place a king, and worthy to rank with kings. It is not an exaggeration to say that of 35,000,000 who now think in English, there are not 50 who would not have made some sacrifice to aid the Jate President in his struggle for life. This act may yet affect the history of the world, who are interested in the only Englishman who reigns by elec. tion, and solicitous that ho do nothing lowering to an office than half of them feel must one day exist in England.

The so called "cheap" sewing machine which soon doubles its original cost in repairs, con tinually disappoints expectations, as to its performances and is always a source of vexation while it pretends to work and in a short time refuses to act at all or the genuine well made reliable and durable machine whose first cost is its last The sewing machine like the watch to be anv permanent value must be made of the best materials, highly wrought, beautifully finished carefully adjusted. It is idle to ex pect these conditions to be fulfilled by companies who are making "cheap machines," and are liable to abandon the business at any time leaving their customers to their own resources. To buy cheap is to pay d:ar in the end. Tho new improved No. 8 Wheeler fe Wilson machine is the simplest in con struction of any in the market, is the easiest to manage and is never out of order. Why therefore waste your money upon a (so called) cheap ma chine when for a flight advance in price you can purchase a first-class ma chine from a reliable company who will always remain in the business and carefully watch the interests of their customers. Whereas these low priced machines are fobbed out to country dealers and when the stock on hand is sold, the companies manufacturing them drop out of the market.

Hollow-ay's Pills -Never Despair Something that never fails Fever and Ague To the sick it is of little consequence how they are cured, whether from a rational view of the disease or by the rules defined for the guidance of the profession, so long as the cure is certain and expeditious.

Holloway it Co., New York. A Cakd. Everyone knows that sewing machines are sold for twice what they should be, and Ihe reason tho purchaser pays two prices is be cause ho pays: 1st, for the machine; 2d, the traveling expenses of and a good round commission to the agent who sells to him; 3d, the cost of col lection, etc., when ho buys on time. The way to remedy this is to buy your machines for cash, at fair living prices.

The San Francisco "Call" reports that private telegrams received in that city confirm the press dispatches to the effect that ex Senator Sargent will be appointed Secretary of the Navy. His nomination is urged by Gen. Grant and Mr. Conkling, as well as by Senator 'Miller and Congressman Page, from this coast. It is believed that Mr. Conkling advised the ap pointment of Mr. Sargent in President Garfield's cabinet, but was overruled by Mr. Blaine. o The Boss Machine. It is fair to presume that the company selling the most sewing machines has the best ar ticle offered for sale.

To tiie Tuade: 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, great care and attention, and our old Davenport whisky possesses all the above qualities. The grain used in the distilla tion of our J. II- Davenport whisky is carefully selected from the finest, richest and very best grown in the slate ot Ken lucky. The water is drawn from one of the finest limestone springs in the state, the peculiar properties of which have gained forKentucKy whiskies such world, wide celebrity. This process makes our J H. Duvenport a pure, hand made, sour mash vhisky, and wo claim that for deli cacy of flavor, purity and medicinal qual ities, it stands unexcelled. Yours truly. ScHOLrz &Von B.uigex.
