Is Tiki n Enlightened. Government!
o
Our usually quiet town was thrown
into a worse confusion on Sunday
last than some of the border States
towns were in former days, when the
slave holder, with his Digger drivers
would cross the line to whip back
the serfs which, then, this very free
awl highly enlightened government
regarded as chattels. Thank God
those scenes may never more be en
acted in this land. The cause ot the
feeling, and the unreeling acts here,
ofQvhich we are writing, was an or
der of the Circuit Court giving to
O old Harvey, of the Yamhill Agency,
power to take away pertain Indians.
We shall not cuss at Judge Shattuck,
because, to take an impassionate view
of the case, perhaps he has decided
what is law in the premises but to
theGdcvil, we say, with a law that
will separate husband and wife the
well from the sick and helpless sister,
the mother from her babe. Down to
hell with a wretch who, with the
power conferred upon him by law,
refuses to listen to any entreaty, or
proposals for humanity's sake. Har
vey took from here on Monday,
women who have left husbands,
father, children, and all that is near
and dear to human beings. Can we
look npon him with any compassion;
can we say that he only acted as he
should in the discharge of his duties
ns agent? when we understand that
Mary Ann, one of the victims of his
force, left here a sister, sick, blind,
and helpless, whose only support she
was, and whom he was asked to leave
until this sister was able to go, or
GUntibshe died. Did he do it? No !
Licking his old chops he took her
and them with the air of a genuine,
heartless,purchaser of slaves from the
"block in Louisiana. There is some
thing vitally out of order about such
things. We cannot blame the In
dian for taking scalps of the white
race, if they are to be placed beyond
the pale of freedom forever, when
disposed to be free, aDd not permitted
to pursue habits of industry, choos
ing their home themselves when per
fectly able to maintain themselves in
that home. The Indian plan of to
day that reads so well in " Reports
to the Head of the Department," is
a curse, a shame, a rotten and unmit
igated lie! we have the proofs to
show it and think the subject ought
to be stirred np;that our Government,
if it, too, is not a farce, may right
these errors, and adopt better plans.
That the Indian is doomed to speedy
decay, the laws of races and experi
ence have abundantly established.
But shall he go to his last account,
from the abodes of civilized life, un.
dcr the full blaze of divine religion, a
SAVAGE or a civilized man ? Will
we the present white race have
fully met the responsibility of that
question by saying : " This is nothing
to us; the Indian must perish at any
rate," and devoutly return thanks to
God that we are not as other races
not even as
these ill fated Indians ?
Let this nation
try to commiserate
his condition ,remcmbe?h : that with
all our good intentions and well di
rected humanizing and civilizing ef
forts, the Iudian must rapidly pass
away from the living races.
The communication of a citizen
Qtipon this subject, is deferred. In
case we find it necessary to say any.
thing farther we thiuk we shall not
lack for materials.
Resigned. Hon. Erasmus D.
Shattuck, Jugeofthe Fourth Judi
cial District, has resigned his posi
tion as Judge of the Supreme Court,
and of the Circuit Court of the State
of Oregon. The resignation is on
file in the office of the Secretary of
State, and will take effect on the first
Qday of December.
o
Consistent. The National Intel,
ligencer has taken to publishing Reb
el poetry. Rather bold for the spe
cial organ of the President; but, after
all, it is no worse than supporting
Andrew Johnson, and it certainly is
consistent.
Congress. The next Congress
which will meet on the first Monday
in December, will be politically di
vided as follows: Union, 142; Dem
ocrats, 50; Union majority, 62.
The Senate properly stands: Union,
41; Democrats5, 10, leaving a Union
Majority of 34.
Bickeks' Works. Ticknor &

works of Charles Dickens.
Separate
In our issue of the 26th of October,
we pronounced in favor of a separate
Supreme Court for this State, and
assigned some reasons why a Supreme '
Court should be distinct from all
other courts, and why the Judges of
the Court should not be required to
pass upon cases in the capacity of
inferior courts, and then, sitting as
a Supreme Court, review their own
decisions rendered in the courts be
low. The Oregonian of the 1st inst.,
in remarking upoa the subject says :
" The Enterprise has an article
urging a separate Supremo Court for
Oregon. In its arguments on the
subject it seems to have overlooked
the fact that the Constitution (Art.
Vn, Sec. 10) requires that the popu
lation of the State shall be 200,000
before a separate Supreme Court can
be created. Our population cannot
now reach half that number. How
ever, the Enterprise presents some
considerations on the subject which
are worthy of attention."
It is true, the constitution of this
State does contain the provision re
ferred to in the foregoing paragraph.
We did not overlook it, however, in
preparing the article, urging the es
tablishment of a separate Supreme
Court ; but, in that connection, we
also had in view Sec. 1, of Art. 17,
of the constitution, providing for
amendments to that instrument. In
this clause of the constitution, it is
provided that any amendments to the
constitution may be proposed in either
branch of the legislative assembly,
and if such amendments shall be
agreed to by a majority of all the
members of both houses, then such
proposed amendments shall be en
tered on their journals, and referred
to the legislative assembly to be
chosen at the next general election ;
aud if a majority of all the members
of both houses of the general assem
bly, so next chosen, shall agree to
such proposed amendments, then it
shall be the duty of that legislative
assembly to submit the proposed
amendments to the people for their
adoption or rejection, by an election;
and if a majority of the electors of
the State shall ratify the same, then
sucn amendments shall become a
part of the constitution cf this State.
From this it w ill be seen that the
establishment of a separate Supreme
Court for this State is practicable, at
least, although it will require a
long time to bring about the result
We are in favor of an amendment to
the constitution, permitting the organ
ization of such a Supreme Court.
And, if such a change in our judicial
system is desirable at all, this neces
sarily Jong delay in effecting an
amendment to our constitution is an
urgent reason for prompt action on
the subject by our next legislatii
assembly, a convention is not re
quired for this purpose, and no addi
tional expense is incurred in making
theattempt,until the proposed amend
ments are submitted to the people for
their action. Then, if the attempt
should be made in the legislative as
sembly to so amend our constitution
that we can have a separate Supreme
Court, and should be defeated through
the demagogue economy of some
members, mged for the purpose of
catching votes at some succeeding
election, there is nothing lost but the
amendment, and the time of the mem
bers, which, perhaps, would not have
been very profitably employed for the
State, at best. If such an amend
ment is proposed and legally sub
mitted to the people, and they reject
it, all right ; they have the right to
do so. But many citizens of this
State do earnestly desire this change
made in our judicial system, and they
should not be debarred the right to
have such an amendment to the con
stitution properly put in motion, that
it might reach the people in legal
shape for final action. And then, as
a matter of right, as well as a matter
of fact, the majority will rule, and
with that all should be content.
Walla W alla R. R. The States
man is moving for a railroad through
Walla Walla Valley. It will pay
and, as Bro. Newell says, if a com
pany were organized to build the
road, the stock could readily be dis
posed of hi the Eastern markets with
scarce an effort. The whole cost of
the work need not exceed 500,000,
and this sum could be raised in the
Valley. But this is not necessary.
At the East there is any amount of
capital constantly seeking investment,
and all that the tnonied men of New
York or Boston require is to have the
project laid before them.
Thent What. By an extraordin
ary piece of good luck, an unfinished
teoementhouso in New York fell
down lately, the cause being appa
rently that the builder had neglected
to lay a foundation for it. That it
fell before it was ready for occupa
tion was a rr.erciful dispensation of
Providence. But suppose the acci
dent had happened a few weeks later,
and some half dozen families or so
bad been crushed under the ruins?
Closed fob Repairs. The sash,
blind and door factory of Mr. John
P. Walker, Portland, is closed for a
few week , for repairs.

Through Clftckma County.
The Herald correspondent lately
passed through Clackamas county, on
the principal thoroughfare, and speaks
thus : At Milwaukie, on the east
bank of the river, is the famous
"Standard Mill' whose brands of
flour are known in every mining
camp irom ireka, Ualitornia, to
Blackfoot, Montana. Leaving Mil
waukie, we traveled through a forest
of timber unrivaled by any on the
globe, outside of Oregon and Wash
ington Territory, for about six miles,
and came out in an opening, in sight
of Oregon City. We we were soon
in the city; the rattle of machinery
was heard on every side as we pass
ed, and we noted evidence of thrift
and improvement since our last visit
to that place. A clean looking hotel
the Cliff House has been opened,
and it i3 to be hoped that travelers
may henceforth be able to pass a
night there without the many annoy
ances heretofore known in that vcd
erable city. I did not tarry to ex,
amine minutely the mills or factories,
but I could see at a glance that the
wonderful facilities offered to men of
capital by the water power at the
falls are appreciated, and applied to
a limited extent. The basin, break
water, dock, and ware-hoase of the
P. T. Company, on the falls, is one
of the grardest enterprises in Ore
gon, and does credit to the energy
and judgment of the Company. A
half-mile's travel, over a rocky road,
under tall and rugged cliffs of volcanic
rocks, and by the side of the river,
brought us co Canemah, a small vil
lage, in front of which lay three or
four steamboats, like turtles on a log
in a sunny April day. The village
does not promise to be a city soon,
and if it ever rises to that dignity it
will have to rise perpendicularly or
else crowd the hill back for room to
spread. The stage road and tele
graph line follow up the river bank
for a few miles, and them climbs the
blufF, through a thick forest of tim
ber. Once out of the canon the
country assumes a better appearance;
the surface becomes more level;
farms, barns, orchards and comforta
ble dwellings are seen in the openings
in the forest, and we began to realize
the beauty and fertility of our creat
valley. The barns were stuffed with
hay and grain to their roofs; the or
chards were bending under their
burdens of fruit; the houses were hid
in bowers of trees and vines as fresh
and creen as if it were the first of
June; life and abuudance seemed to
pervade everything; the forests seem
ed to exult in the fullness of their
foliage and wave triumphantly in the
gentle breeze that is always present
in this lovely and fruitful valley
The orchards stood, like Atlas, groan
ing under a world ot truit, and we
were busy comparing the Garden of
the West with other climes as we
rode along, shaded by trees as beau
tiful as ever mortal eye beheld. Be
fore reaching JVlolalia uret-K we
passed one or two small and beautiful
prairies, and then we crossed the
stream on a long and substantial
bridge; then passed through a dense
forest a mile or two, then crossed
another bridge over Pudding River,
climbed a littb hill and were in Au.
rora, thirteen miles from Oregon
City. There we found a good hotel
and food in good shape, and abund
ance for man and beast. Aurora is
a thriving village, springing up in
the midst of the forest; is the center
of the ' German Colony," and it
does one's heart good to see the
amount of thrift and industry every
where exhibited and the evidence of
the value of the timber lands in the
lower part of Williamette Valley.
Next day we resumed our journey,
and after traveling a few miles we
cape out of the timber and into
" French Prairie." The road is
nearly level from Aurora to Salem,
and every mile or two there is a
tavern, hotel or inn, and no traveler
is compelled to travel ten or twenty
miles to find a stopping place a very
commendable feature, and an excep
tion to other parts of Oregon. About
twelve miles south of Aurora is the
hamlet of Waconda, and all along
the road through the praiaie we saw
evidences of plenty, comfort and
prosperity, and were thoroughly
convinced that there is no better
place to live or travel, in Oregon,
than on French Prairie. By two
o'clock we were in Salem our State
capital.
Horse Thief Caught. Two val.
uable mares which were stolen from
John Stewart of Benton county, were
recovered in North Yamhill, on Sat
urday evening last. The thief was
arrested and taken to jail at Cor
vallis on Monday. The victim is
known by the name of John Conner,
and he deserves two told punishment
for doing so great an injustice to Mr.
Stewart, after being kept and all ex
penses paid during a long spell of
sickness at the residence of Mr.
Stewart. He is an ungrateful dog,
and ought to be hanged, without trial
or examination.
.Personal, Political and Otherwise
The first temperance organization
was formed in 1517, in England. It
only prohibited its members from
getting drunk. No member was al
lowed to drink more than fourteen
glasses a day. The next organiza
tion was in the year 1000, and only
allowed its members to get drunk
on public days. A century later a
society was formed in the State of
New York, in which the penalty for
"retting drunk was 25 cents.
The taxes of Boston for 1807 ag
gregate 5,053,311. The assessable
property was returned at 4l4,946,s

007.39 the total valuation of prop
erty was 275,709,100.
The Rev. Rowland Conner, late of
the School street Church, Boston,
has organized a new society, to be
known as the " Fraternal Associas
tion of Universalists," accepting the
Winchester Confession of Faith.
In Leavenworth, Kansas, there arc
now 3,000 members connected with
the different churches. Eight years
ago it was regarded as a large church
if there was a membership of 20.
It would take a train nearly seven
days to run from New York to San
Francisco, by way of Chicago, going
at the rate of 20 miles per hour, and
making the usual express stops.
A lot of land in the suburbs of
New Haven, which cost thirty years
ago $150, and fifteen years ago was
appraised at 82,500, is now held at
-$10,000.
The potato crop of the farmers of
Eastern Pennsylvania is being rapid

Thousands of bushels are being daily
destroyed by its rapid ravages.
The schools of Michigan are now
regarded as superior in character and

It is stated that Bishop Kip of
California, is about to return to the

Lnporte, Indiana, is to have a
cotton mill costing $200,000.
Scucri.ER Colfax. The Yonkers,
New York, Statesman says: The Ore
gon Enterprise has the name of the
Hon. Schuyler Colfax at the head of
its columns for President. Should he
be nominated, he would receive al
most the unanimous vote of ihe Pa
cific States. As a Congressman and
Speaker of the House ho has
made his mark at once so palpably
that none can fail to see it. There is
a freshness of outspoken honesty, of
principle, and love of the Union
about him, which has drawn the
hearts of hosts of Union men
toward him. His head is clear and
his heart is sound, and he concen
trates the powers of the one and the
impulses of the other toward the one
great object the securing the legiti
mate results of the victory of the Un
ion over the Rebellion. As Speaker
of the House he has proved that he
is possessed of executive ability of the
highest order, and in all other tcsn
pects he presents himself before the
country as one on whom the mantle
of Lincoln has fallen. For masterly
summings up of the issues of the day,
his various short speeches which have
been published, have never been sur
passed. Terse, pointed, yet never
bitter, but with a vein of kind feeling
for his opponents in error, they con
tinually remind us of Abraham Lin
coln. The Republican party can
trust, with unlimited confidence,
Schuyler Colfax to maintain their
principles in all their integrity, at
all hazards and under all circumstan
ces. Faithlessness to that Freedom
which he loves with so great a love
and into the vindication of which,
from his first appearance in public
life, he has thrown all his heart and
soul with all the vigor peculiarly
characteristic cf his nature, is imposs
ible with Schuyler Colfax. Contera
plating his whole public course, we
think that all, even his political op
ponents, must feel instinctively that
he would make a 7ooJ President. In
that word good, is summed np what
the nation needs in a President,
what it lost in the death of Piesident
Lincoln-, but would ajain recover
with Schuyler Colfax in the Presiden
tial chair.
Doubtful. The Round Tahle is
of the opinion that "a high and chivs
alrous respect for women Das ever
been an acknowledged characteristic
of Southern men." Perhaps some
"Yankee schoolmarm" who has so
journed in the south will enlighten
the Pound Table in this regard Or
the newspaper files of the years pre
ceding the war might be laid under
contribution. We doubt if they
ouI confirm the above confidence.
TELEGRAPHIC NEWS.
We take the following telegraphic news
from dispatches to the Oregonian.
There were 50 deaths in San Fran
cisco last week.
The new Catholic Church of St.
Peters, San Francisco, was dedicated

Francisco 1,000 passengers.
' The Senate of West Virginia will
stand 20 Republicans and 2 Derao
prnts. House about the same as last
year 44 Republicans and 11 Demo
crats. It is the impression of European
statesmen that a general war in Eu
rope is inevitable. The Roman
question is only a pretext on the part
of Napoleon to precipitate it.
The Express' special says Seward
has sent a special messenger to Rome
to offer the Pope an asylum in this
country, and hopes are entertained
that the mission will be successful.
A great blast in Telegraph Hill,
San Francisco, was exploded on
Monday. Some 25,000 tons of rock
were loosened and the hill shattered
in every direction for one hundred
feet from the mouth cf the mine.
MEXICAN NEWS.
President Mosquera will probably
be banished. Acosta is doubtful of
getting him out of the country with
out a collision with his adherents.
The act of the legislature, granting
Mosquera $12,000 a year for his past
services, was ratified by the Court
which banished him.
Panama letters of the 23d say
Senor Murilla, t he Columbian Corn,

Water Stout. A terrific water
spout fell over the town of New
Castle, Del., on the 5th of September.
It was 100 feet in diameter, and al
though the people were greatly
firightencd, no serious damage re
suited to the town.
A Lesson from the Past. For
ney's Press reproduces some account
of the incidents of Charles Dicken's
visit to New York, nearly a quarter
of a century ago. Such a retrospect
seems like viewing ourselves irom
the standpoint of posterity.
Festive Funerals. The Times
notes a peculiarity in metropolitan
funerals. Convivality is largely
practiced in the carriages that form
the funeral train. In fact, the mourn
ers conduct themselves as merrily as
possible, and the flowirg packet pis
toi passes from hand to hand with
rapidity and regularity. This is es
pecially the case where the funeral
festivities are in honor of some de
ceased political notability.
Organic Doubts of Scripture.
One who has a prejudice against
hand-organs h puzzled to know why
those are mentioned as "evil days"
in Eccleslastes in which the" grinders
shall cease because they are few,"
and " the sound of the grinding shall
be low." He thinks that when such
things take place they will not be
" evil days," but will mark a halcyon
period.
More Territory-. President Ca
bral, of Domiuica, has accepted the
offer of the United States for the pur
chase of Samana, on the island of
Ilayti, for the sum of $5,000,000.
This giFes us a powerful and con
trolling position in the Antilles and
Gulf of Mexico, and should the ac
quisition be followed by the purchase
of the island of St. Thomas, we will
become the preponderating power in
the archipelago, and the actual arbi.
ters of the destinies of all the islands
which compose it.
Costume asd Character. In a
recent novel by Edmund About, he
describes his heroine as emerging
from the sea in a bathing dress, and
adds the following considerations re
garding the influence of dress on the
female character: A woman's modes
ty gets humanized by degrees. She
who has danced through a couple of
seasons, and worn costumes at the
fancy balls, has no longer a very dis
tinct idea how much it is permitted
or forbidden her to display.
Is it a Success? A statement of
the Cetral Pacific Railroad, for the
quarter ending September 30, 1SG7,
is published. Gross earnings, $556.
212 05; operating expenses, $101,
020 89; net earnings, $451,591 1G.
The cost of the road to Cisco was
nearly 815,000,000. The interest
on $15,000,000, computed at six per
cent, per annum, amounts to 8900,
000. If it cost fifteen millions to
Cisco, and the gross earnings of the
road amount only to $556,212, we
cannot see wherein the profit lies.
The Call says the road is emphat
ically of the "ribbon" order. It con
sists of a narrow and cheap track,
wholly insufficient to accommodate
the traffic of the continent.
Not on it. The Enterprise 13 not
controversial in purpose, and has sel
dom cause to enter into discussions of
a political nature. An anonymous
attack upon Hon. Schuyler Colfax is
therefore passed, in as solemn silence
as the circumstances would permit.
Mr. Colfax we have known person
ally for years and even when we
were a Democrat, full of Lecompton
and Dred Scott, we regarded him as
an honest man. We think our cor
respondent came from some other
place ; we, too, were a Hoosier.
Our State. Oregon is a large
State. It is 23 times as large as
Connecticut; thirteen times as large
as Massachusetts, twice as large as
Pennsylvania, and ninety-four times
as large as Rhode Island. It is not
a populous State. The pobulation
of Connecticut is five times greater
than ours; that of Massachusetts is
twelve times greater; that of Penn.
sylvania is twenty-nine times great
er; and the little State of Rhode Is
land, with less area than many of our
counties, has twice the resident pop
ulation of our entire State. We
want population, though, and have
land enough to give every man a
farm who has a mind to come here.
Lost Emigrant Mines Found.
The Herald says Stephen II. Meek,
brother of the celebrated " Joe,"
piloted a party w ho found the above
mines, this season. Nuggets worth
from $1.00 to $8.00 were found in
termixed with quartz, and six feet
below the surface it panned out
$10.00 yet the bed. rock had not
been reached.
Repudiation. A friend down the
river writes us that Gen. Ma-shall,
and other Republicans in Minnesota,
advocate repudiation. Ye; they do
but it is repudiation on the Rail
road bond question in that State.
The bonds were provided by II. N.
Rice, and other Democrats, in 18G0
we think.
Michigan Politics. The Michi
gan Constitutional Convention fi3s
resolved to incorporate the prohibi
tory liquor clause in the Constitution
of that State. The Germans are re
ported to go with the Democrats on
this question, which will not be voted
on separately in its submission to the
people. It is thought probable that
the measure will be carried.
What Next. At a Democratic
Convention, held at Pittsburgh, Pa.,
a resolution was offered,endorsing the
course of President Johnson. After
considerable discussion, it was laid on
the table. Some of the leading
Democrats expressed (rreat indigna
tion at the stupidity of the party who
offered the resolution.
Paradoxical. The Boston Tran
script calls attention to the fact that
this has been the wettest snmmer
known for years, and wonders wheth
er this condition accounts for the
fact that there has been less than the
usual amount of dry reading in the
newspapers.
Royalty in Paris. The royal
visitors to Paris this year numbered
in all fifty-eight, of whom forty-five
were sovereigns and princes, three
queens, and ten princesses; this num

one viceroy.

fact that Ilindraan is one of the fore
most men of the South in reconstruc

So true is it that a man's name often

Weight vs. Measure. Some one
is advocating the selling of eggs by
weight. No fairer mode of dispos

for farmer, seller or consumer. No
one would ever want over weight.

A Successful Establishment.
Among the most successful establishments
in the country is that of Howe & Stevens,

Policy Holders tho Sole Stockholders.
To Farmers axp others : ilentlcmen :
Every good and true man should have a
provision for himself during his advanced
years, and for his family in case of his
death. His anxious desire can be accom
plished by becoming a policy holder in the
above Company. A small annual payment
will relieve you of all future care for the
temporal comfort of yourselves and those
dear ones dependent upon your daily labor;
and you will also become stockholders in
the Mutual, sharing in the profits of this
most admirable institution. This field is
now open to you all for a golden harvest.
Sow your seed whilst you arc able, so that
wheu old age comes upon you the harvest
may keep your declining days in comfort;
aud when the scythe of death sweeps you
from the field of life, your last thought may
be b!ess;d with the knowledge that a pru
dent investment has enabled your little ones
to start in life independent of the cold charities-
of the world.
