... I" ! tTET OREGON SENTINEL. jacksoiivii.lri Saturday, January 28, 1882. ruouiT jtsncE. !,, 4 Qeo- B. Reynolds, clerk in a. store ia Seattle, W. T., a most worthy young rnan, was saot hy two foot pads, last -JTaesdey,. the 17 th, and died in two. "beurs. A vigilance committee was or ganized and sqnads of men- were sent fn. every direction in searcbi ef tae murderers. Late on Tuesday evening, -the 17th, James Sullivan, a one armed man, and William Howard were dis covered by a. squad of the committee, in the hay on a wharf in Seattle, and " were locked tip in jail by the Chief of 1 Police and the Sheriff. A report pab lished in the Oregonian says the mur derers were tried in Yesler's hall, the next morning, Justice Cooms presiding, Justice Cann having a seat beside-him, and Chief Justice Green of the- Ter ritorial Supreme Court another. "W. H. White,, assisted by ft Jacobs, con ducted the prosecution, and W. TL Holcomb appeared for the defense. During the examination, which elicited very conclusive evidence as to the guilt of the prisoners, the crowd were busy erecting a rude gallows consisting of a scantling placed between the forks of two trees, on Occidental square, and two ropes attached thereto. When the examination was over and at the moment the prisoners wore remanded to tho custody of the officers, the latter were seized by strong men and held until the murderers were hurried out ' and strung up. This was no sooner over than about 400 men went to-the jail and demanded Ben Ptaynr who ,.- killed policeman Sires last October. On tho refusal of the sheriff to deliver him up tia crowd battered down the doors of the Jail, seized Payne and strung him up' between Sullivan and Howard. In about an -hour the three bodies were taken in charge by the coroner and the verdict rendered by the jury of inquest was as follows, in each case: "We the jury summoned in the above case find that they came to their death by hang ing but from the evidence furnished, we are unable to find by whose hands and we are satisfied that, in their deaths substantial and speedy justice has been subserved." The press gen erally commends tho action of the peo ple of. Seattle as business like and pro per. They have done well; savinga large amount of money by taking a short cut and have made it &pparant; that their Utile city has a very unhealthy climate -lor foot-pads and murderers. The Jnrr System. Tbotrgntfu! people are beginning to doubt whether the machinery of jus tice, in this rapid and intelligent age, is benefited by the cumbrous attach ment known as "twelve good and law ful men" that has seen no improvement since the middle ages. As it is the jury is; through ignorance, prejudice; cow ardice or the maudlin sympathy, of its members the very best protection' to criminals and, as legal science pro gresses, convictions actually decrease and the evils of the system are more opparant. The chief evil of our pres ent system is that it places too much responsibility in-the- Hands of vicious and ignorent men. Ask a criminal lawyer if he prefers to- defend' a- man on trial for his life, beforea-jury of cut throats or bofore one of intelligence nd moral standing and he invariably Answers, the former, and gives as his reason that tho former class naturally is a .sympathy with criminals. Twelve men, picked up by the sheriff 'from tjio body of the citizens and se lected lay .the court, chiefly on account of their (totsl ignorance of the case to be .tried, .-are flften placed in a position to override law and distort evidence to agree with their various ideas and peculiarities while the judge; learned tojtho )aw and, by habit, better able to sift tho evidence or probe Jlie sincerity of ffilncssess, is ajntre cipher. Owing to easy manipulation "jury fixing" has become a trade in some states; in others the material of juries is so plastic that , it needs no "fixing" otlisr than the es- "i curing of one man to "hang' it and the - ways of justice havs become so tortuous that it is little wonder that comrauni- ,' ties lose patience and break down le gal barriers. We believe juries should . bo -composed of nun selected solely , with reference to their intelligence, moral standing and responsibility and that men without all of these qualifica tions should be excluded and that three fourths of a jury should be competent to decide. Laws are passed to control the vicious, not the law abiding class 'and thesurest way to enforce thrwwould 1 :,be to exclude the former class from -any share in its administration h & tablishing a higher and 'better Etaod ard for the material of juries, ".'!'- ' ' . . .The taxable property of Oregon, as " per Assessment just completed, is 659, 256,175; total tax, $325,908., Mult nomah county bears one-fourth of the tax. 1 i Sallrod New. From D. S.-.K. Buick lately arrived from Myrtle Creek we learn the fol lowing with regard to the railroad ex tension, south of Roseburg. Twenty miles of the road, to a point near Mjrr tie creek, is cross sectioned, that is ready, for graders and rock cutters. Fifty miles of (he roatT, to a point near the big bend of Cow creek, is lo cated. Thirty three miles of rieht of way has been deeded to the com pany, including depot grounds at Jep tha. Green's, Robert's hill, Myrtle creek and Riddlebunr, the latter point seven miles west of Canyonville; all timber work o'n the 33 miles is calculated and specifications made. Work has com menced on the first small bridge south of Roseburcr. Ten miles of timber work has been contracted for by J. J Ccmstock, of Latham, the balance ef the timber to Riddleburg will be cut on Myrtle creek. Portland papers state that Manager Koehler has re ceived telegraphic orders from New York to commence and push the exten sion at once so it hardly looks as if the company was "tooling as the doubt ing Thomases seems to think. BIMB Ar-PKOr-BIATIP.Y. The following is the text of the bill introduced by Representative George to improve the Military road from Scottsburg to Fort Klamath and pro vide for an extension thereof: Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the Unit ed States of America in Congress as sembled,. That the sum of twenty thousand dollars be, and the same is hereby, appropriated for the continua tion of the improvements on the mili tary wagon road from Scottsburg to Camp Stewart,, Oregon;, and,, also, that fifteen- thousand dollars be, and the same is hereby, appropriated for the 'construction of a branch or extension thereof, from such point thereon as may be selected by the Chief of En gineers ofthe United States, to Fort Klamath, Oregon. And in determin ing the route, or any change of location of the existing road, the said Chief of Engineers shall take into consideration not only the natural location for the road-bed, but also the local and general interests of commerce and the conven ience of the settlements in the vicinity of said routes. Oliver Twtit Wait "Hore. The Democratic paper at Albany, has commenced abusing Representative George for not demanding more than 60,000 for the improvement of Ya quina bay. It says that Mr. George promised to ask for $100,000. Perhaps h did make such a promise but; if he, j: Ii !. !? 11.-1 il. Jlfe? supposition mat mo "TEngineer in charge would name that amount in his official estimate. That officer is the best judge of the amount necessary and we credit Mr. George with too much sense to demand mere than the official in charge of the work and if he succeed in obtaining what is asked for he will be more fortunate, or more able,, than his predecessors. If people tfiTnk a Representative has the power to empty the United States Treasury into- every little bay or har bor,, they will learnk through a long period of chronic unhappiness, that thev are badlv mistaken. A Dlmgircnient- Senator Beck says cf the Pension act: "I would repeal the Arrears of Pen sions act. It was conceived in sin and brought forth in iniquity. It is a fraud upon the American people and a stand ing monument to the ignorance, selfish ness and cowardice of the American .Congress." As the"American Congress" he refers to was largely Democratic E Senator Beck can hardly be called a "sound Democrat". On the other hand; Senator Voorhecs claims that the Democratic- party originated the act and will stand' by it. In comparison with this ast; land steals, star route steals, banking frauds,, tariff oppression, back pay grabs and- kindred iniquities are but as drops in the ocean of public robbery. Voorhees defends it and saves his Democracy. A Soliloquy. Is it an office? It is an office. Does the man want the office? The man does want the office. What is a man who wants an office? If he is,our man he is a "reformer." It the man is not our man what is hel Then he is a "spoils-hunter." G. William Curtis. It is astonishing how tender the civilized world is becoming. Former ly; if a clerk or cashier robbed his em ployer or bank, it was called "theft.' Now, for fear of hurting somebody's feelings it is known as "shortage." Be fore long, when a murderer hastens the end of his victim it will be politely called "acceleration." Jay Gould, the railroad king weighs 100 pounds only but brings down the financial scales with nearly a million dollars for every pound of his weight. WALBO CeBBESr.DECE. Sextisel. I believe jpu will agree with me when I say that wo need and must have a positive game law enacted by the next Oregon Legislature. Noth ing short of this will prevent the com plete destruction of the deer family in Southern Oregon, It has now become painfully evident that the old game law is not sufficiently strong and that men will kill deer for their hides. The present high prfce-of hides seems to- have removed all shame there was. in the matter, for we see men killing deer by wholesale for the money there is in the pelts. Men have done this and will continue to do so until a strict law puts an end to the business. In mj opinion there should be a law passed prohibiting the killing of deer for any purpose whatever during the months of March, April, May, June, and July of each year upon penalty of fifty dollars and costs, for each and every deer so killed. Said law should also prohibit the killing of deer at any time for their hides, hams or horns. It should not allow any one person to kill more than twenty deer during any one year. It should prohibit the leaving of any por tion of a deer in the woods. Said law should require every person before sell ing deer, hides, hams or horns to go before the County Clerk or a Jus tice of the Peace and make affidavit in strict compliance with tho letter, spirit and intention of the law that he had not violated said 'a v or any of its provis ions. In this wise the person should be required to obtain a certificate from said officer which should be a permit to sell so many hides, horns or hams. The law should further provide that any person buying said hides, hams or herns without tho certificate should be equally liable before the law. The penalty should be at least twenty dol lars and 'costs for the first offence and double that amount for each succeed ing offence. The law should be so framed that no person could evade it. This is a mere suggestion and I will be glad to hear from others. Fox Aiubias. Depredations upon the Government timber lands in the West have in creased to such. an. extent that the Sec retary of the Interior urges the Attorney-General to use all the means in his power to arrest and punish offenders. The way depredators manage, in South ern Oregon, is very simple. A man files a pre-emption application on a tract of land; so as to prevent others from interfering. Ho then builds a cabin and hires a gang of men to help him cut the wood off the tract and then leaves ft stripped. Upon filing a pre emption 'application the applicant should be made to give bonds for the security of all timber not required in the actual improvement of tho tract applied for. m - According to tho "Morning Star- dard" a deadly blight has fallen upon unhappy Oregon; because Huntington, of the Central Pacific, has, after all, not supplanted Mr. Villard as mana ger of the O. & C. railroad. The "Standard" sadly "deplores" this fact and in so doing touches and lays bare its own hollow insincerity on the mo nopoly question as Satan was touched by Ithuriel's spear. After hoping that the "Central Pacific," the most exact ing and cold blocdod corporation in America, might grasp the industry of Oregon with its skinny fingers the "Standard" may as well grease its bow and hang up its "anti-monopoly" fiddle to season.

To the TitADK: Practical experience has demonstrated toii3 that tho 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 dKtilla tion of our J. II. Davenport whisky is. carefully selected from the finest, richest and very best grown in the slate ot Ken tucky. The water is drawn from one of the finest limestone springs in tho Mate, the peculiar properties of which havo gained lor KentucKy whiskies such world wide celebrity. Tins process makes our J. II. Davenport a pure, hand made, sour mash whisky and we claim that for delu cacy of llavor, purity and medicinal quaU ities, it stands unexcelled. Yours truly SciiCLrz &Vos Barges. From and after this date J. P. McDaniet & Co. Jacksonvillle, will kecri the justly celebrated Davenport, pure straight wliis. ky exclusively. r W j-
