The Commissioner of Indian affairs, hj'his annual report, recommends that aboat 1,700 acres of land on the Mal heur reservation lately abandoned-, be appraised and sold for the- benefit of the Indians for whom the reservation was set apart. This means the small amount of land attached to the Agency on the middle Malheur and; an there are some- buildings on the tract, it should be worth more than the ordin ary, unimproved lands of the re&era tion, and there can be no objection to its rale at any price a buyer in willing to give. Then the Commissioner express- ej hisopposition to throwing open the remainder of the reservation either to purchase, pre-emption or homestead settlement, and admit that the Indians t twhon) he would benefit by the- sale "-of 1,700, acres are either at the Yakima acjporliiiog-4m idle and precar ious, life in the neighborhood of Camp McDermit, Bid well and Winneniucca. The truth is that; the Indians formerly : belonging to the Malheur are a band of worthless, idle, dissolute vagabonds, " who would not stay at the Agency for fear of being compelled to work, and they deserve nothing from the Govern ment. This is a notorious fact and, even if they did, the sensible policy would be to throw open the wlio'e tract to legitimate settlers, gather the vaga bonds, place them where they will not be coimnou pests, and apply tile pro ceeds of the sale of the reservation lands, if necessary, to their sustenance. There are many settlers on this reser Tation, holding by the royal American right of squatter sovreignty,and waiting patiently for an opportunity to perfect their titles. They are in good faith and our representatives in Congress should see that they have it as quickly at possible. The Courtney Trial. The triaiof D. C. Courtney (charged with manslaughter) for the killing of Matthew Shannon in Jacksonville on Sept 28th, was commenced in the Circuit Court on Saturday last. District Attorney Kent and Judge Prim fcr the State, R- Williams and J. It. Neil for the defence Argument on both sides closed on Monday even ing and on Tuesday morning the case went to the jury after a very fair charge from Judge Hanna. On retir ing, the first ballot taken resulted in 7 for acquittal and 5 for conviction; Ihe second ballot 9 for acquittal 3 for conviction. On Wednesday at 12 o'clock the jury came into court with a verdict of not guilty and the prisoner was discharged and immediately took his departure for Northern Oregon. The line of the defence was the inhe rent right of every man to protect himself against violence and, while the shedding of blood is to be deeply de plored,.thisverdict sustains that right by immunity from- punishment under certain circumstances and ue earnestly hope that in this community no citizen will ever again give' another an excuse- for the taking of a-human life. bt i;ivi:iil iccusu; Ayer'.s Cathartic Pills are the best of all purgatives for family use. Thej are the product of lonjr, laborii us, ami succevsful chemical investigation, anil their extensive use, by physicians in their i.ractict, and by all civiliz-il na tions, proves them the best and mot effectual purgative Pill that medical science can devise. B-ing purelv ve etable no harm can arise from their use. In intrinsic value and curative powers no other Pills can be compared with them, and every person, knowing their virtues, will employ them, hen needed. They keep the ay.steiii in per feet order, and maintain in fiealthv action the whole machinery of life. Mild, Rarcliing and effectual, they are especially adauted to the needs of the digestive apparatus, derangements of whieht they prevent and cure, if timelv tikem. They are the best and safest physic to- employ for children and weakened constitutions, where a mild but effectual cathartic is required. For Sals by all Dealers. The following revolting scene is de scribed by the Washington dispatches of the San Francisco Chronicle of Nov. 19th: Today during tho examination of the vertebra in the courtroom Guiteau became much interested, and laid down his papers. Scoville took the section of vertebra, and Guitetu inline diately reached over, took it himself and gave it a most searching examina tion. He then leaned over and point ed out the places injured by the ball to Scoville, and handing it back resumed his reading. The sight was an impres sive one. The man who had murdered a President of the United Slates ccolly taking the backbone of his victim into his hand and noting tho effect of his deadly aim was a hilit probably never witnessed before, and certainly one nev er to be forgotten. A wliisper ran through the audience, accompanied by a few suppressed yet well-defined hiss I'lX'.MILUnt; THE SCHOOL HAD. Under tnis head, a correspondent of the "Oregonian," signing himself Dem ocrat, refers to the sale of a tract of land for the benefit of the school fund1 to sn intimate friend of Gov ernor Thayer's for a less sum than was offered by another party. "Dem ocrat'' then says: "On September 16th, 18S1, W. W.. Thayer and wife deeded to Claude Thayer, their son, 35 acres of land in Sec. 25, T. 1N.II.1E: consideration one dollar. On September 20th, 1881, just four days after the transfer, Claude, the son,, borrowed 2500 from the school fund- on the same land. This land is three miles from the citv. On page 57 of the assessor's book'it will be found that W. W. Thayer gave to the assessor a description of the same land, and it was valued by the county assessor at S1300, and this was done under the solemn obligation of an oath. But the cheekiest part of the transac tion is to be found- in the selection of the appraiser. Mr. F. Paxton, a young man who never owned or sold a foot of land in his life, was Mr. Claude Thayer's convenient choice. JLrPaxioiL isj.,lawt-udttrhi"CSqVE7n er Thayer's office and a warm personal friend of his son. He was also at one time the governor's private secretary. It is not uncharitable therefore lo infer tr.at Governor Thayer and his son had no sericus difficulty in having the land appraised at 7500, Mr. Paxton's valuation. The difference between $1300 and S7500, the former being the valuation of the cuuuty assessor under oath and the latter Mr. Paxton's vuluation when Claude. Thayer desired to borrow money on the land from the school fund, is a striking illustration of the value of the woik of a conveni ent friend. Twenty-five, hundred dol-J lars was wanted by the family, and the law requiring tho board of'rchoo commissioners, of which the governor is chairman, to loan money only on real estate of three times the value of the money loaned, it was necessary to fix the figure at 7500, and it was done. I cau think of no more fitting language in which to characterize this transaction than tquute fiom the re port of the investigating committee of 1879, page 21: "There could have been but two purposes in all this indirection; one was to avoid the odium of loaning money to himself upon insufficient se curity, and the other to avoid personal responsibility for any balance in case the mortgaged property failed to pay the debt. The disreputable character of this scheme cannot be too severely censured, since, to the sin of obtaining money dishonestly is that of violating for a R"ltiish purpose an oath bound trust that of guarding a fund sacred in the eyes of every friend of his country and his kind," The govern ment of the United States donated the fund to the children of Oregon, and he who would rob them of one cent of it is not worthy to be govemer of fliis young state." If the foregoing is not true Governor Thayer can easily prove it and if the record is not false it is palpable rob bery of the school fund and the "Board" should be held responsible for every dollar of loss that is entailed. The correspondent is not to be pitied. If he is really a "democrat" it is an hundred to one that he voted for Thayer and only asked, when he put in his ballot, "is this a sound democratic ticket." The managment of the school fund in every county ought to be closely and critically scrutinized by the next Legis lative Assembly and, if possible, more stringent measures should be enacted for its absojute security. rrotccttnj IloneU Labor. "At the National Labor Congress held at Pittsburg on the 17th, several speakers denounced convict labor and so do honest workintjinen every where and the honestly limit platform of v ery Democratic State Convention. This dosen'c apply to the Oregon Iti--ane Asylum however." "Portland Standajd." And why, pray, does it not apply to the Oregon Insane AsylumJ Is not one kind of labor, skilled or unskilled, justashonorable and worthy asauothut! The common- day laborer, displaced.!")' the convict, earns his bread, more literally, "by the sweat of his brow" than Urn skilled artisan does, and con vict labor should not be used in any instance where that of industrious and law abiding citizens can be procured. We believe convicts should be made to work, and work hard; but it would be better to create a new industay for them, that of macadamizing the roads of the State eyen at an expense to the State, than lo use them in starving better men too often, perhaps, into the penetentiary. The saving clause in the above item, however, only dis closes the varied peculiarities of "Democracy"and its elastic adaptability to the views of its ltaders in every lo cality. Opposition to convict labor is good-elsewhere but bad in Oregon a savory and enticing bait for the votes of "holiest labor" in an "honestly built democratic platform" but ob jectional in praciice, especially in Oregon. The truth is that the flimsy pretentions of Democracy as the friend of "honest labor" are too thinly disguised to deceive tho humblest citizen, and the lastwordso the "Standard's" item have more significance than its party would care to acknowledge. For shame-: The lack of decency and decorum by which the Guiteau trial has been-characterized has already shocked civilized Europeans, but what will be thought of the shameful scene; when the crte bra of the murdered President was exhibited in court and even handled, with the greatest unconcern, by the as ssasin himself? It is a burning disgrace to American jurisprudence that the sepulchre of the honored -dead must be robbed and his mangled remains ex posed to the public gaze in order to convict the assassin when he, himself, admits the killing. It is a shocking outrage on public decency, and if the prosecution can not prove the crime, without such unseemly barbarism, it is a severe reflection on the admiuistra tion of the law or a confession that the law itself is impotent. If Guiteau can not be convicted without makin the hallowed remains of the late Presi dent a plaything for wrangling lawyer he should be turned loose to take his chances in a court that makes few mistakes that of pu.hlii:;oH:uQn.

Holloway's Pills Never Despair Something that never fails Fever and AgueTo 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 us the cure is certain and expeditious.
