Oregon City, Oregon :
D. C. IiiLAXO, ElUTCKt AM) rnoi'KIETOE.
Saturday, May 4th , 1867.
The Oregon' Railroad. The Jleciw
says : There appears to be good reason
to believe that the proposed ruilro'ad from
Fortland south through the Willamette
valley will be commenced during the
present year. We have ho d with us, dur
ing the past week, several gentlemen
railroad men by occupation and represen
tatives of Eastern capitalists who came
hither to see and report the character of
the country and the inducements offered
for the construction of the work contem
plated. These men unite in declaring the
route a favorable one, and are quite en
thusiastic over our advantages and the ex
tent and beauty of this valley, which,
they say, excels most Eastern countries in
many respects, and will certainly prove
remunerative to a railroad. They tell us,
what we knew before, that the commence
ment of the road will draw population
here and that its construction will find us
soon quadrupled in wealth and inhabi
tants. This result will of course follow.
but we who have so long been residing
upon the futthest limit of the nation, can
not readily appreciate the effect of public
improvements. When we are connected
with the world by direct, easy and fre
quent communication, then we will begin
to be appreciated abroad, and aware of
our natural advantages and capacities.
A company has been formed under the
State laws to consider a proposition
brought by these gentlemen from eastern
men offering to commence the construction
of one hundred and fifty miles of road
within a year, and complete it for that dis
tance within five years. The proposal
seems to be a fair one. and to have been
favorably received and acted upon. Ar
rangements are made, which, when fully
ratiiied and understood, are expected to
result in the speedy commencement of the
work. Tiiis much we are given to under
stand and full particulars of the plan of
operations and of the organization of the
company will be made public when all
arrangements are completely effected.
We learn that the people generally will
have opportunity to become interested
upon favorable terms. The company when
completely organized, will include many
proniiuent gentlemen throughout this val
ley, and leave little room for differences.
The route will be decided by natural cir
cumstances as the proposal is made on the
judgment of the contractors. Capital al
ways seeks the most popular and profita
ble channels for exercise, and what suits
the majority will inevitably add to the
prosperity of the State. There are always
persons ready to question the character cf
an organization, the motives of men and
the effect of undertakings, when they are
commenced, and a thousand jealousies
find expression, while no question remains
aso the public necessity. We make this
remark to urge upon our friends the need
of harmony and union. We need this
road. Eastern men propose to build it and
are satisfied with the company that or
ganizes to act with them. From what we
know of the arrangements and the men
interested, we have confidence that there
will be no reason to doubt their judg
ment. The government aid must be con
firmed by Congress, ar.d State aid must
be rendered. There is no trouble an tic i
Q paled in securing this, and then the people
lQtist understand that something depends
upon them that according to their means
utjd their appreciation of the enterprise
they must invest in it. The matter will
soon be presented to them by public can
vassers, and we invite every man to re
Snember that the cash value of the land in
this valley will be doubled when that one
hundred and fifty miles of road is com
pleted. When they appreciate that fact
they can then decide how much they
should iuvest in it to secure its accom
plishment. Feeeta Feint. We are sometimes asked
to hame Fleeia Flint, but one of our Fail
ings is a genuine weakness for guessing.
Ther-icorrespondent is well posted, how
ever, as will be-observed by the following
paragraph in his last letter : Are there
G
not in Oregon some learned orators, devo
tees of science, who will take up the sub
ject for the Web-foot rjregarmcsl Consider
this, all ye lovely ladies who live along
the fertile bottoms of the Columbia
slo(urhs, or on the loamy banks of Long
Tom : ye sweet and comely maidens who
reside by the rippling waters of the Rick-
real, or sojourn by the fern fields of Soap
creek ; and ye darling dames who toss
your heads so high, and set your beauties
nil abroad on Front street ; or who dwell
upon that delta formed where the diverted
waters of the Santiam, Mowing through
Rector's ditch, down the gravelly stream
of Mill creek, cheating Jeffersonians of
half their summer's supply, drips its dual
liood through mill and factory gates into
the iliamette.
The Markets. A London dispatch of
the 1st notices a decline in cotton. Bread
stuffs unchanged. In New York on the 1st
dry goods were reported dull ; freights
steady, and barley advancing. On the
same day saies ot 1 lu.oUu lhs wool were
reported in San Francisco of fall and
spring clip-, clean, at lo(W)21c. i lb. Ship
ments of wheat from San Francisco for
the month of April amount to 4(59.410
sacks, valued at 934,890. The quota
tions for " coast. v (probably meauing
Oregon) were 1.80 100 lbs ; good
milling 2.00. The extremes were given
at 1.70.2.15 . 100 lbs. For the same
period 71,091 bbls of flour were shipped,
valued at 402.030. These figures show
an unusually active export. The market
w still active and prices firm.
Distances. The distances from Boise
City to bait Lake City, by the stage route.
i- 390 miles. From Umatilla to Boise.

THE CITY ELECTION.
On Monday next the voters of this city
will be called upon to cast their ballots
for a Mayor, Recorder, men to represent
them in the Common Council, an Assessor
and Collector, a Treasurer, City Attorney
and Street Commissioner. Very desirable
improvements in which the whole city are
interested having been inaugurated by the
present administration, it is hoped that
they may be carried out in the "same good
faith with which they were started. By
reference to the Reports of the Finance
Committee and the Recorder, published in
another column, it will be seen that the
city is now in good condition with re
spect to its financial matters. The present
council have done all that cculd reasona
bly be expected of them, and in case the
nominations made last evening by the
Union party are sustained, no doubt the
future of the city will be a promising as the
past year has been satisfactory.
As previously expressed. we -were in
favor of disregarding political lines in the
nominations for these offices, but the will
of the party being different we cheerfully
acquiesce in the action taken last evening,
and would urge upon all good Union men
that on Monday next they present solid
column at the ballot box, and by their
united efforts place the men whose names
are hereunto appended, in the offices for
which they have been severally chosen.
For Mayor Henry Warren.
For Recorder J. M. Moore.
For Councilmen Dr. F. Barclay, J. W.
Lewis. A. J. Apperson, George A. Pease.
Win. Broughton, C. W. Pope. J. M. Frazer.
Assessor and Collector N. W. Randall.
For Treasurer F. Charman.
For City Attorney F. O. McCown.
For Marshal -J. W. Ryan.
For Street Commissioner J. W. Ryan.
The above is strictly a Union ticket.
The men composing it are too well known
in this city to need any special comment
from us. Vote for one and all of them, in
opposition to the ticket which will be pre
sented from the Democratic ranks, in con
vention to assemble this evening, at the
Court House.
We have not room for the entire pro
ceedings of the Convention last evening.
Mr. "Warren and Dr. Barclay were the
principal competitors for Mayor. After
the first ballot Dr. Barclay declined a re
nomination, and Mr. Warren was chosen
on the second ballot, receiving oS of -15
votes cast.
Mr. J. M. Moore was chosen for re-election
to the office of Recorder on the first
ballot.
Messrs. Barclay, Pease, Lewis and Ap
person, were chosen for the Council on the
first ballot ; Mr. Broughton on the second ;
Mr. Pope on the third, and Mr. Frazer on
the fifth.
Mr N. W. Randall was chosen for Assessor
and Collector on the first ballot, a hand
some complimentary vote appearing for
the present incumbent, Mr. Wm. P. Burns.
Mr. Fred. Charrnan was re-nominated
for the office of City Treasurer by accla
mation. Mr. McCown was chosen for City
Att.uney on the first ballot, and Mr. Ryan
for Marshal and Sheet Commissioner on
the first ballots. These two last offices, if
tilled by one person, will no more than
compensate the holder. We hope to see
the whole ticket elected.
MlEITVUY AltKESTS IX CALIFORNIA.
Judge M. P. Dead y, has lately given an
important decision upon the subject of
military arrests. The case was tried in
the United States District Court of Califor
nia, without a jury. The court found that
the arrest complained of was made under
a military order issued without malice.
but from good motives, but that, being
done without authority ot law, the plant!!!'
as a matter of law, is entitled to recover
SDine damages.
The good motives of Gen. McDowell.
and the necessities of the public, when
he issued the Order as well as the gross
misconduct of the plaintiff, have been
duly considered, says the Court, in esti
mating the damages of the plaintiff. But
these alone, however worthy or imper
ative, do not constitute a defence to the
action. Congress may relieve a meritor-
ous officer against a loss incurred while
in the discharge of his duty to the pub
lic : but in this tribunal, whose only func
tion is to administer the law, the defend
ant must be held liable for the legal
consequences of his act. The Court finds
that the defendant, Irvin McDowell, is li
able to the plaintiff as complained against
him, and that the plaintiff is entitled to
have judgment against said defendant for
the sum of $C3o damacres and his costs
aud expenses in this behalf sustained.
We are not a little surprised that Judge
Deady should thus follow in the wake of
the Supreme Court, in its decision in the
late Indiana case.
Maunamuois. A Fortress Monroe dis
patch says Henry Wilson called upon Jeff
Davis, when at the Fortress a few days
since. That was truly magnanimous of
you : Henry ! man of great mind' ; sou!
elevated in finer sentiments : rrenius of
7 o
generous virtne ; purity in the last re
cesses of noble spirit, long will your call
upon Jeff be remembered.
Tobacco. The Xorthara-pkm (Mass.) Ga
zette says tobacco is a dull crop just now.
Most of the raisers in the vicinity have
two years' crops on hand, with no more
prospect of a ready sale for it now than
there was a year ago. At lIartford,ConK.
