A short time ago our cotem passed a high couuilimeut upon the .Republican Senators who were on the committee of privi leges and elections and reported unfavorable to investigatinKthe bribery case of Senator Payne of Ohio. Senator Payne is charged with buying his way in to the Senate, through instrumentality of h;3 son, who is charged with expending 200,000 to se cure his father's election. The committee admits that money in a very extravngcnt manner was used; yet such use could not he traced directly to Senator Payne. The compliment to those Senators from our cotem did not surprise us, neither will it surprise any person who knows him when they reflect for a moment -'hat-Senator Hyno is -a Democrat, thai fact covers ulf sins and renders all investigation as to bribery a farce. SVe-- must confess, however, that wo are sur prised at tho position taken by the committee. If they at any future time expect to impeach one of their members by proving that a Senator personally used money to secure his election they will certainly fail, for that work is always left to true and trusted friends who expect to be re warded by the election of their man. 'lho mouoy. doubtless came from the pocket of Senator Payne, but used by another. The committee refusing to investi gate so important a charge, will not relieve tho Sena tor irom tho odium of corruption by a largo majority of the-peoplo of Ohio and other portions of tho couutry. Conundrum. "Would our cotem, who doubt less knows, or some one familiar with our county finances, give us a correct explanation in relercuceto our county debt. We find in ex hibit given January 1, 1880. that our liabilities at that time was 55, 320.54, only S1,08S.15 moic than vgheu they entered upon their official duties iu 1884. re uow fiud in the July exhibit of 188G that our debt is over 80, 000 without interest. Now tho conundrum is, what has in creased our indebtedness so rapid i.i six mouths from January 1, 1886 to July 1, 188G. Something liko 2G,000 has been added to ourdubt in that time aud we have nothing to show forit. Some refer ence was made to this matter be. ibro tho olectiou, but it was denounced as campaign has. Tho election is over and-we ask for information as wo confess our inability to fathom such great financial questions as these. Come, Charles, please enlighten our understanding on these im portant questions. - Advices from Salt Lake City state that between six and eight thousand of tho Grand Army boys visited that city en route for San Francisco. A rare opportunity was given them to make a person al investigation of tho wrongs of tho Mormuu system, aud they loft with a- better understanding than ever betoie of that uuiquity. The visitors caruo from all parts ol the Umou aud will take home with them impressions never to be fjrgottcn. It is to be hoped that these-imprcsssiouB will serve as a leaven to arouso public senti ment all over the United States against this twin relic with tho one they helped to destroy, and that they will bring such pressure to bear upon Congress as to result hi the extirpation of tho miser able institution. Thero is a general demaud for tho re.aiiportionmout of the state for legislative purposes, both par ties aro pledged to promote it aud .the chances are it will bo done at tho next session; and while they are at it an act tor tho catliu" of a eonstitutiona! convention would not lie out of tbe way. "Lalo" WVIiams, or S.tlem, is a prominent applicant for secretary under Gov. Pennoyer. lie Las many friends her Mrs. A. Iolti nordeing his aunt. Portland Welcome. Swamp Lands. The Secretary of the Interior has rendered aairaportunt decis ion upon the application of Gov ernor Moody-, requesting the Dei partment to order the dismissal of all contests to determine the character of lands which have been heretofore approved and certified to the State of Oregon as swampland overflowed, under the Swamp LaDd grant. The Secretary decides that after approval and certification by the Department and the Land Office, the character of such lands cannot again be caUed into ques tion upon the affidavit of a contest which merely alleges that the land is not of the oharacter granted. lie further holds that a party may contest the right to such lands prior to approval and certification, by alleging and proving a settlement prior to such approval, aud that the laud is not swamp and overflowed, but i fit taj cultivation without arti ficial drainage. The lauds ueretoforc-approved and certified to the State as bwamp and overflowed, covered in ttifs decision, are embraced in what is known as List "So. 5, Lakeview District, and contains about 90,000 acres of land. The State claims the remaining lauds not approved and certified amount iug to about 300,000 acres, which will oe reportcu to tue jjanu Office for approval and certifica tion under the rules laid'down iu this decision. Aftor-Kent. The "Times" audi "Courier" have gone after Mr. T. B. Kent in a manner that would convey the idea that they were really angry. We "nave nothing tosay in reference to their personal attacks against Mr. Kent as wo believe him amply able to defend himself. We, however, think that it is not in accordance with houorablo journalism for a paper to dictate to the court as to what he should instruct tho jury in this- case. The "Times" says, 'Wo expect the court to decide that he (Col vig) shall continue iu the office," The "Courier also makes a sim ilar expression. Now, wo believe tho court will uot have to dic'.de this question, us we aro informed it will bfr-tried by a jury. We will also say that notwithstanding, tho "Times" editor may expect a great deal, yet, we will take the liberty to say that Judge Webi ster will instruct the jury as to the law iu this case without fear or favor. The trying of this- case iu the "Times" and "Courier' beforo handwilluot have any weight with tho Judge when it becomes his duty to instruct the jury, as to what is -the law in the case. The river and harbor bill as finally agreed upon by Congress and signed by the President cou taius Hie following appropriations iu which Orcgouand Washington aro interested: Yaquina 75, 000; Coos Bay 33,750; Cascades 187,500; Upper Columbia, im eluding Snake river. 10,000; mouth of tbe Columbia river 187, 5 0; lower Willamette river 75,000; Coquilie 20,000, Che halia 2,500; Cowlitz 2,000. These items are by uo means as large as the nature and impor tance of the improvements to be made require, but will be of great benefit to the entire coast. The disbursing of the money for labor and material used in the improve ment will constitute one valuable feature, but this improved faci I tties for commercial intercourse is the great benefit to which all are 6o auxiously looking: An exchange trutbfullv 6ays "Tbe number of persons in a town who desire to have it boomed are giatifyingly large, but the uttm ber of those who are willing to bear a share of the expenses of do ing the booming cau usually be counted on the- fingers of the band." It might add that the enthusiastic boomers are the last ones to eucourago their owu citii zens who show a spirit of enter prise. They are more likely to be jealous of any evidence of pros perity on the part of their towusi men. They coutinually cry out for strangers to come and estab lish new industries,- while they neglect and refuse to support those they already have. 2 he Bosses. We are informed that an ac tion has been brought by T. B. Kent against Wm. M. Colvig to determiue who is entitled to the office of District Attorney for this Judicial District. Now, that the question is to be determined by thecotrrtSr.it is expected that "Republican Bosses" will stand aside and let them "fight it out on that line-'lf it takes all winter. It is a family quarrel of which "Republican Bosses" have noth ing to gain-or lose Id the matter. We once knew a man to get his head broke with a frying pan for interfering in. a family quarrel. "Republican Bosses" may be served in the same manner by in terfering in this. A Mystery. '"X How the hnman system ever recovers trout the bad effects of the niaseous medicines often literally poured into It' for the euppositivo relief of dyspepsia, liver complaint, constipa tion, rheumatism and. other ailments, is a mystery. The mischief done by bad medicines.

We learn from W. L. Rrcord, unier whose supervision the bedy of Mis.

Mrs. Parks was bur ied in this Credent Citv cemetery June 21st, 1872. Record'. o It is the general belief of our most pxpert Gaherruan that the trout are gradually disappearing in Rogue Riv er as it is evident that they are setting scarcer every year, and especially it is the case this year. One of the causes' given is thai a screpn has been placed across the Rogue River just above Ellennburg to prevent as la supmsed the salmon from coining up the river. If this is the case the authoii ties tbou'd immediately give the mat ter a thorough investigation. The people of this anil Josephine counties should interest themselves in the mat ter and have the party or- parties who placed it there prosecuted to tnVfull extent of- the law. MARRIED.
