Oregon City, Oregon : o
Saturday, January 5, 1867.
Makchiko Ok. A few years ago it was
predicted that the United States was to be
now a myth ; that the form of government
under which we were living was a failure :
that having gone beyond the confiding pro
tection of the Democracy, aud passed into
a "sectional" party's
guardianship, who
would relieve our Southern breuiren oi
the direction and control of the destinies
of the Republic, the good old ship of state
would soon totter, and be cngulphed in
an obvious sea. Having passed through
the most fearful varo establish opinions
contrary to such wise predictions, it would
not have in the least surprised any individ
ual at this remote stand-point, to hear and
know that the Eastern, .Middle, and West
ern States had allowed their local pursuits,
and domestic industries, to stand stock still
while the northern heart throbbed with the
giant work of wiping out the rebellion.
But we find the contrary to be true. The
most stupendous enterprises havebecn
pushed to successful completion within
tho time, at enormous cost.
What would the people of Oregon think
al seeing Portland donate 500,000 for the
raihjoad ; JI.il waukie 100,000; Oswego
$100,000 ; Oregon City $250,000 ; aud all
other places throughout the valley in
proportion? We would then think that
the railroad was about to be built would
weaiot? That is just what they are doing
in Michigan. t is what was done to let
Minnesota into communication with the
outside world is what gave S
present prominence, and sent
. Pf her
her ricrht
hand reaching out to grasp us. This is a
great country, truly especially the Ore
gon part of it but when we stand by and
witness the number of paper companies
in it wc cannot but realize0that some of
our laws are too liberal. When wiGrecord
a multitude of failures in one year, foQthe
want of brains and money, the bladder
bursts, and we are forced to the conclusion '
so prevalent among Oregonians, that we
have more " men of straw'' in our midst
than "men of means."
One night in November last, it is report
ed, " some fire hundred business men as
sembled" at BattleGCreek, Michigan, to
listenOo a reading of ;thc proceedings
and reports of a Cassapolis, Cass county,
meeting," upon railroads. Any Wolverine
in Oregon can tell that Battle Creek anc
Cassapolis were ;one horse towns" but five
years since, and yet they are on hand in
the matter of giving substantial aid to the
Grand Trunk Railroad of Michigan. The
villages of regon must do likewise, if
they wouh havePrailroads, and derive the
consequent benefits.
Portland ought to take the lead in this
matter. It would not require very much
to show that by doing so she could make
herself forever master of the situation.
Chicago made herself the second city in
America, in a short time, by her liberal
system of encouragement to railroads, by
which she was enabled to have the Stales
of Illinois, Indiana, AVisconsin, Michigan,
Iowa and Minnesota, share fully in her
prosperity. In tg onward march of img
provement Cbfeago has lost nothing of her
interest in those matters, but idressing
her aid constantly upon the great work of
the Union Pacific Railroad. Last week it
was stated that the year 1S66 had been
one of unexampled prosperity in Califor
nia. What made it so if not the change
of policy adopted fjy Sanrancisco, which
has enable the capitalists there to see the
advantage of assisting every enterprise
calculated for the public good?

"Woolens,
A late dispatch from Washington speak
ing of the wool tradOays that the 4i forth
coming report of Revenue Commissioner
Wells will treat at length of the wool
trade of the country," and adds : :
" The facts represented will be of spe
cial interest, fn) view of the fall in the
prices of woolen goods. Some of the large
mills in the country have stopped entirely
of late, and others are running on short
time, because xcool now costs morfhan
the manufactured (jowls sell for. The figures
compiled in the Treasury upon the subject
show that this glut is owing to the increased
import of woolen goods in ISfiG over 1SG5,
the imports last year being valued at about
twenty-five millions, while this year they
have exceeded sixty-seven millions."
The wool growers complain bitterly
that the price of wool is too low, ; but the
manufacturers declare that it is too high.
The remedy proposed by each side, says
the Chicago Tribune, is more tarhT. The
wool growers demand higher duties on
foreign wool in order to make domestic
wool dearer. But the manufacturers resist
this proposition unless a greatly increased
tariff is levied on imported woolens.
Wool, they say, is now so dear that they
cannot afiord to buv it. A higher tariff
on foreign wool will cripple the American
maniifactur still more and reduce their
consumption of wool, and how will that
benefit the wool grower ? The cloth mak
ers want Congress to add about thirty per
cent, to the duty on foreign woolens, which
now averages something over fifty per
cent, in gold. But the wool growers also
demand an increase of duty on foreign
wools of thirty to forty per cent. They
will not consent to the former without the
latt( But if the duties are enlarged
thirty or forty per cent, on wool, as well
as on woolen goods, the manufacturers
will be worse of than before, because the
effect will be to make wool dearer and
woolens dearer, and thereby reduce the
domestic consumption of their fabrics. j
It is complained that the importation of
woolen goods in 1866 far exceedsjthe im
portation of 1805. Congress at its las
session materially increased the duties on
foreign wool and woolens, by adding the
cost of transportation, insurance, commis
sions, and handling to the invoice cost of
the articles, and charging the full tariff
rates on those additions to the foreign
value. On bulky articles like wool this
amendment has the effect of increasing the
tariff on wool from twenty to thirty per
cent. On woolen goods the duties ad
vanced from six to ten per cent.
But this considerable increase of tariff
would seem to be of no practical benefit
to woolen manufacturers or wool growers.
How will still more duty on wool and
woolens mend matters? If the tariff
on wool is increased the manufacturer
will Q -worse off than now, because the
raw material will be dearer ; and if to
counterbalance that evil, the tariff on
woolen goods be doubled, the whole
American people who consume woolens
will be made to suffer by having the cost
of their clothing doubled, and this deur
ness of clothing will necessarily result in
a diminished coasumption.thereby damag
ing both wool growers and cloth makers.
A year hence woolen mills will be af
flicted with worse depression than they
now complain of, and to cure their ills
will clamor for still more tariff. Like
drinking salt water, additional tariff will
merely increase their intolerable thirst for
more. Meanwhile the only class who will
pocket money by making woolen goods
dearer, are those who have stocks on hand;
but the whole community will lose what
they gain, and, receive not a cent of con
sideration in return. The best artificial
remedy for the existing stagnation in the
woolen business will be found in a repeal
of internal taxe s on woolen goods, on dye
stuffs, and on all raw materials entering
into the manufacture of woolens, and also
a reduction of internal taxes, generally to
the greatest extent, that the financial re
quirements of the Government will permit.
One dollar of taxes removed from an in
dustry is worth more to it than three dol
lars of increased duties. A repeal of one
hundred millions of excises on raw materi
als. manufactures and incomes, would do
ten times more to strengthen, promote,
and develop the manufacturing industry
of the country than the benefit to be de
rived from any imaginable increase or
change f the tariff! Remove the burden
6? internal taxation, and thereby unfetter
the efforts of capital and labor, and all
classes of the community will instantly be
gin to experience the benefits of such
policy.
The Repcblicax Pkogramue. The Xew
)York Herald says the Repnblicans have
resolved among other things in caucus to
provide by law :
First That no name shall be placed on
the roll of the next Congress except from
those States entitled to representation by
law.
Secoiid That no electoral votes shall be
counted for President and Vice President
(ISKS) cast by any State excluded from
Congress.
Third That the first session of the For
tieth Congress, instead of meeting in De
cember, as usual, ehall meet on the 4th of
March next, at the close of the present
Congress.
Considering, therefore, that the House
by an overw helming majority has resolved
to adhere to the pending Constitutional
Amendment as the basis of Southern res
toration, this programme simply means
that the excluded States shall have no
voice in Congress or in the approaching
Presidential election, urriess they abandon
meantime their present declared purpose
of holding out against the amendment.
" To this complexion they must come at
last," and the sooner the better. This is
the whole ease in a nutshell.

TELEGRAPHIC STEWS.
We take the following telegraphic news
from dispatches to the Morning Oregonian.
Dates to January 10.
There is a growing senfiment &mks(&e
publicans in every direction in favor of the
impeachment of the President since the re
cent decision of the Supreme Court ia re
gard to military trials.
" There was great excitement in the House
of Representatives on the 7th.
Mr. Loan, of Mo., offered a resolution in
substance, that to secure the fruits of0he
victories during the war it is the impera
tive duty of the 80th Congress without delay
to accomplish the following objects :
1st, The impeachment of the officer now
exercising the functions coresident of the
United States and his removal from office
for the high crimes and misdemeanors of
which he is notoriously guiltv, and
which
renders htai unsafe to exercise powers he
unlawfully assumes.
2d, To provide for the administration of
the Executive Department.
Cd, To provide means for the immediate
reconstruction of the States lately in rebel
lion, except Tennessee.
4th, To secure by Federal authority the
right of franchise for the negroes in the
Southern States.
Mr. Davis, of West-Va., moved to larf the
resolution on the. table. Negatived, 40 to IS.
Mr. Ashley, of Ohio, immediately arose
and obtained leave as a question of privilege,
to have read by the clerk the following : I
do impeach Andrew Johnson, Vice Presi
dent and acting President of the United
states for high crimes and misdemeanors.
I charge hiuV with the usurpation of power
and violation of law. in that he has corruptly
disposed of the public property of the United
States ; in that he has corruptly interfered in
elections an-d committed acts which ia the
contemplation of the Constitution, are high
crimes and misdemeanors.
Therefore, be it resolved, That the com
mittee on the judiciary be, and are hereby
authorized to inquire into the conduct of An
drew Johnson, dischargiSu the powers and
duties of President of the United States, and
report to this House whether, in their opin
ion, said Andrew Johnson, while m sad
office has been .guiltv of acts corrupting the
Government of the United States, or any de
partment or officers thereof, or whether said
Andrew Johnson has been guilt- of any act,
or conspired with others to do acts which ia
the contemplation of the Constitution are
high crimes, requiring the interposition of
the constitutional powers of this House,
and that said committee
have power to send
for persons arid papers and to administer
ihe customary 'oaths.
Spaulding of Ohio moved to lay the reso
lution on the table. Negatived by a vote of
39 ayes ot 109 noes. The resolution was
adopted.
It is said that General Grant has had a
long interview with Secretary Stanton on
the effect on reconstruction of the decision
of the Supreme Court relative to military
commissions. It renders the frcednieus
bureau and civil rights bill u nullity, and
while it is allowed to stand, orders-will be
issued to prevent any conriiction of author
ity. Gen. Palmer and other officers who
have been on military commissions, are lia
ble to criminal arrest and trial. The fact
that Senator Trumbull, who drew up both
the above bills, agrees with the Supreme
Court in this decision, causes intense excite
ment, and it is claimed by the President that
the Constitutional Amendment, abolishing
slavery will yet be declared a utility. The
movements that will be starts! 'or the im
peachment of'several of the Justices will meet
with favor iu the house, where there are a
number of military officers ready to take
the strongest grounds against judicial usurp
ation, but in the Senate, there are no sol
diers and any movement toward impeach
ment would be hopeless. Thad Stevens is
preparing some stringent measures to pro
tect the country from the evil tendencies of
decisions ot the Supreme Court, but he will
find it difficult to do so aj the Senate will not
pass his measures.
The Secretary of the Treasury, in submit
ting to the House the Tariff 13 i 1 1 prepared by
Coinmissiouer VVrells, says : " Whatever dif
ferences of sentiment may exist with regard
to the opinions and counsels of the Com
missioner, no one can examine carefully his
report and bill and fail to perceive that he
has perfected a very large amount of labor,
and endeavored faiihfuby to discharge the
duty developed upon him. It may not be
improper for me to recommend that his
opinion and conclusions, with very alight
exceptions, have my hearty approval, and I
recommend them to the careful considera
tion oi Congress."
Estimates for the construction of the
Northern Pacific Railroad were sent to the
Senate on the 4th. The Quartermaster
General estimated that transportation would
be required by the W ar Department for 1,
5o0 men and 153,S0,01) lbs. of military
stores, having calculated upon the supply of
fifteen military posts whicti are manned" by
140 foot) aud To mounted men, ten of them
from the 'eastern terminus aud five from the
we.stern. The estimates of the cost of the
road, prepared by Brevet Brig.-Gen. Simp
son, are as follows: For construction ot 2oi)
miles of road, $l4D,4S3,Sti ; for rolling stock
and fixtures at $1 1,'JOO per mile, 22,0;,4C'i ;
for steamers on the Missouri aud Columbia
rivers, $oH,WO ; for engineering and con
tingencies, 100,000, for trnneling, beyond
estimate average per mile, $U,O7rf,0v)3.
These and other items named make the total
2,08fi,ouo,34t, or an average per mile of
$10,141.
The Tribunes special says that Stephens
has retired altogether from the lenian
ranks. It is alleged that the organization is
too weak to attempt a conflict with England.
The statement was made that Stephens had
received 12.000 bir.ee his arrival iu this
country, and but little now remains in the
Treasury; also that none of the arms of the
present organization were sent to Ireland.
The sentences ot the condemned Fenians are
by direction of the Home Government com

Iron rnoncc'riox. The production of
iron in the United States is yet, so to speak,
in its infancy, but the yield of this very
useful metal in all parts of our country is
graduallj- increasing. Pennsylvania is the
leading producer, but the business is mak
ing fair progress in other sections, par
ticularly In Lake Superior region. The
product of the Marquette mines for 1S63
was 185,000 gross tons of ore and 13;732
gross tons of pig iron, against only 1117
tons eight years previously. Previous to
the year 1836, there was not an iron blast
furnace in the United States using anthra
cite coal, while at present two thirds of
them in the State of Pennsylvania are
using anthracite coal to make iron. The
quantity of pig iron made in the United
States, as returned by the Census Bureau
at Washington for I860, was SS1.174 tons,
valued at $19,iS7,7&5, an increase of 11
cent, since the application of the hot
blast. It is well known that on these
western slopes large deposits of this valu
able mineral are to be found which only
await development as population and capi
tal find a lodging place in the rich valleys
and prolific mountains of our vast ter
ritory. .
The Exd of the World. Professor Ben
jamin Pierce, of Harvard University, who
has acquired a national reputation as a
mathematician, has recently shown that
the sun will continue to enliven the earth
and sustain human existence 30,000,000
years. Our descendants will enjoy them
selves for ages yet to come. What is
technically known as the meteoric theory
of solar heat has been cast aside. The
end of the world, regarding which some
religious sects have founded, a freed, i

people of Portland during the last year,
amounted to an aggregate of over $PH,"t,

by the United States. The books of the
Federal Assessor, show that the whole sum
of Federal taxes paid in l SdG by the people
of the city, was oniy s,0"0 in legal tender,
equivalent to about 64,000 in coin. The

The Mountaineer predicts with apparent
eclat, the decline of (Portland) as a result of

enough in the future to spare Portland mer
chants the trouble aud auuoj'ance of fraud
ling the goods, wares and merchandise des
tined for consumption in the upper country
by ship-dug direct to points on the upper
Columbia. This is one of the projects, says
tiie Lafayette Courier, that succeeds no
where so well as on paper. Though Portland
has not, arrived at her majority yet, we
opine she will not be very severely unhinged
by this bit of innocent steam navigation
strategy.

future Orphan's Home. No appeal is neces

half of this noble enterprise. It appeals
directly to the noblest sympathies of the
soul, and its claims will "be recognized by
liberal donatious.
When Satan rebuked Sin, the world gen
erally thought it a piece of most unmitigated
hypocrisy and unparalleled effrontery. So,
when an old dotard, whose early record con
nects him with railroad-bond swindling,
pool-book manufactures, whose later man
hood (God save the mark) never drew a
breath but it was redolent of treason ; who
never left a home anywhere but with an in
supportable load of the execrations of ail de
cent . meirand women ; whose whole public
life has been spent in the seeking, tnephitie
cess-pools of the vilest stamp of vile politics ;
whose age, instead of turning his heart to
ward fitting repentance, only steels and
steepsjt more deeply and daftiy in its life
long deformity ; when such a man dishonors
the mantle of honor by assuming it, and
prates of bribery and corruption, the hypoc
risy and effrontery of Satan is fairly ecii"p3
Nature never laughs more joyfully and Hell
never yawns wider than when such a man
dies. Whose coat is this? says the Oregon mm.
The citizens of Umatilla county have sent
a petition to Congress: 1st That there -is
an Indian Reservation, embracing about
700 square miles and known as the Umatilla
Reservation, existing within the bounds of
the above named countv, lyiur along the
western base and slope of the Blue Moun
tains. 2d - This reservation contains lare
tracts of fertile soil, amounting to a greater
area of agricultural land than Ts contained in
all other portions of the county, and is abund
antly supplied with timber for farming and
building purposes. -3d This laid is in a
very favorable location for the sale of all
agricultural productions, being in near prox
imity to the ricti mining regions of the State
of Oregon Hud Idaho Territory, and on the
mam traveled route thereto." 4th An ex
tensive copper mine has recently been dis
covered within the bounds cf this Reserva
tion, the ore of which is rich and easy of ac
cess. 5th That if the Indians of this Reser
vation were removed to the Simcoe Reserva
tion, in Washington Territory, or the Warm
Springs Reservation in Oregon, they could
be provided for by Government at a less ex
pense by several thousand dollars per an
num, than at present. Therefore, in view
of these facts, your petitioners would re
spectfully recommend that an Act be passed
by Congress authorizing the immediate pur
chase of said Reservation, aud the removal
of the Indians therefrom.
At Faixt. Just prior to the expected
meteoric shower of November 131b and
11th, Professor Loomis of Yale College
wrote a letter setting down the shower for
the morning of the lith. The display was
not made in America, but on that morning
a dispatch from Loudon gave an account
of the showers at Greenwich. The same
day Professor Loomis, whose predictions
had been falsified, wrote a letter to the
Post, in which he said that the dispatch
from Greenwich "was evidently spurious.''
The whirligig of Time brought its revenges.
The English mails of the 14th are at hand
and the learned Professor is exploded by
accounts in the journals of that date of the
shower of meteors the night before. The
London Tunes, of a date anterior to the
suower, aiso contains letters irom the as
tronomer u. A. llerschel, in which he pre
dicts the display of meteors, which came
off. Professor Loomis had better trv his
hand again at prophecy. '

Copperheads. A popular nickname or
iginating in the time of the great civil war
in the Pni'ed Slates, and applied to a fac
tion in the North, which was very generally
considered to be in secret sympathy with
the rebellion, aud to give if aid and com

of the Government. The name is derived

copperhead, unlike the rattlesnake, gives
no warning of its attack, and is, therefore,
the type of a concealed foe.

Mammoth Radish. Mr. Jacob Kauch, of

the city, and left at the-Postofflce. as a
sample of the products of his farm, a sin
gle plant of the genus Raphanus, the root
ot w hich weighed 24 lb when taken trom
the ground. It is about the size of a
healthy child at the age of one year. Mr.
Ranch informs us that he lias taken up
manv large sized vegetables the past fall
-of various kinds some of his ruta bagas
being so large that his youthful son, who
is generally useful about the garden,
could not lift them into the wagon with
out assistance from another of similar age.
This illustrates the growth vegetables
sometimes attain in Oregon, to see two
youngsters tugging at omGbeet, or one
