THE 13IPEACIIMEXT COUIIT.
A Washington dispatch of the
loth'gives the following proceedings
in Congress on that day:
In the Senate, by 11 o'clock, the
ladies' gallery was packed with as
brilliant an audience as upon a fall
dress opera night. Everything was
conducted in perfect order. The
Chaplin invoked a blessing upon those
now entering upon this important
duty.
The bill to amend the judiciary act
catne from the House, signed; it re
ceived the signature of the President
pro tern.
At olock, the morning hour
having expired, the Chief Justice in
the Chair, the Sergeant.-at-Arms
made proclamation in the usual form.
The Secretary read the Journal of
the last meeting eof the Court. A
large number of Konresentatives,
headed by the managers of impeach
ment, meanwhile standing in fil out
kle the door. Howard ordered the
SergeantaUArms to notify the House
that the. Senate was organized as a
CX-ourt of impeachment, and ready to
proceed to the trial of Andrew John
son. Immediately thereafter. the
managers and members of the House
took the seats provided for them.
Butler being absent, the Senators
who had not already done so, took
tfre oath.
On motion of Wa.-diburne, of Illi
nois, the House resolved itself into a
Committee of the Whole, and the
Speaker appointed Washburne Pres
ident. The members then proceeded
to the Senate chamber.
In the Senate, the return of the
Sergcant-at-Arms of service of sum
mons upon the President was read,
when the counsel for the President
wQe notified of the commencement
lUe State Agricultural Society-
President A. J. Dufur, of the State
Agricultural Society, stopped over
at Oregon City on Saturday last, on
his way home from Salem, where he
had been to attend the Directors
meeting. The Directors seem to
have taken hold cf those matters, so
long neglected, that need attention in
Oregon, for the benefit of Agricultu
rists generally. For instance: Con-

and if it Is not too late entirely pro

State. President Dufur of Portland;
Ex-President J. II. Douthitt of Al

City; Thos. Smith of Douglas; and
John Minto and J. II. Moores of
Salem, were appointed such com

generally correspond with members
of this committee. Tnis is u most
important matter, and we earnestly
hope that people generally will take
some interest to post the committee
in reference to practical matters
which concern us all at home and
especially those in Eastern State?

Tlie time for holding the next State

course of which, after complimenting
the House as an able body, speaks as
follows on the subject of westward

Stanbery rose, addressing the
Chief Justice, and rend the answer of
G tha President, entering his appear

Gbery, Curtis. Nelson, Black and
Evarts, and asking a reasonable lime
for preparations of defense the pe

proportion to the magnitude of the

filing the President's answer, and that
within three days,thereafter the man
agers shall file a replication and the
Otrial proceed on "April 0th.
On motion of Morton, at 2 o'clock
the Senate retired for consultation,
and returned to ihe Chamber. At
I o'clock and ten minutes the Court
rissetnbled. The Chief Justice ans
uounced that the motion had been
overruled, and ordered that the Pres
ident be required to file answer on
Monday, March 23d.
Bingham offered an order ou filing
repiiaation bythe managers, that the
trial proceed forthwith.
The Chief Justice submitted the
order, which the Senate rejected by
ayes 23, noes 20.
Neb on, of counsel, argued the ne
ccssity of cauticu.? deliberations. He
said the last two charges opened Pan

a fall investigation of all points of
difference between the President ar.d

Conkling offered an amendment
that unless cause fur delay be shown,
the trial idiall proceed forthwith after
filing replication.
Birgham expressed the satisfaction
of the managers with the 'agreement
which was adopted, and the Court
adjourned till the 23 1 of March.
The House members returned, and
"Washburne, chairman of the com.
mittee, reported the cction taken in
the Senate. The House then adjourned.

nty years San Fran
cisco will probably contain a popula
tion of 500,000. People here are
more excited and interested over
your wheat than they were over your
gold. They were not a mining peo
p!e, and feared to experiment. They
thought the gold would soon be dug
out. But they can nnderstan 1 wheat.
I was through the West, among my
old acquaintances, and I could feel the
population moving toward the Pacif
ic States. Now, as the good women
say, " Mark my words." Popu!a
ticn of the right sort, carrying with
it sufficient to set itself to work, not
seeking situations, will set in upon
yon within three years in such num
bers as never before flooded any por
tion of the United States. I have
talked with the. people. I have occa
sionally lectured in Western villages,
on California, and I know whereof I
speak.
That is a very suggestive para
graph. There is no doubt the agri
cultural developement of this coast,
Oregon particularly and the publi
cation of the facts relating thereto, is
doing mora to attract the right kind
of population hither than any other
thing, and will continue to do more
than ever can be done by any self
constituted bureau of emigration, how
ever largely aided by appropriations.
Circulate the facts and keep obstacles
on; of the way of th early comple
lion of the railroad that is all we
need to bring people here as fast as
it is good for them to come.
Some people contend that the res
idents of the Eastern States know
enough of this region but we con
tend that they do not that the igno
rance of the masses there, respecting
Oregon, is truly lamentable. We
are proud that the State Agricultural
Sociely of Oregon have taken this
matter out of the hands of the poll,
ticians, and now we have some hope
that the 00,000 acres of land due to
this State for the purposes of an Ag
ricultural College, as well as facts
relative to tnc resources of the State,
may be made proper use of.
gations for some time, tending strong
ly to confirm the belief that this year
we are to have a railroad. Mr. Ells
worth, the Director from Eugene,
succeeded the Doctor, and gave au
thorities, as well as the laws of this
Stale, to show the advantages of dona
ting the Right of Way to such Cor
porations. General Lovcjoy next
followed: we have never given the
General much credit for speechmak"
ing, but in this we have been mistak
en. No better arguments need be
used, to prove the vast advantages
to be derived from having railroads
in Oregon especially, at this time.
Mr. Brooks followed in a few remarks
upon the survey, and stated further
reasons why the Right of Way was
solicited That he hoped within 30
days weather permitting to be
here with his corps, and locate the
line. Mr. Anderson would soon have
the route graded, ready for the iron
and rolling stock, three cargoes of
which had already landed at San
Francisco. We will not attempt to
give the words of the speakers, but
suffice it to say that they all spoke en
couragingly, and we look with hope
for the fulfillment of what has been
said. '1 he Council gave the Compa
ny the Right of Way through the
city, with permission to use any streets
except (Mam street. Ihe question of
private rights was in no way inter
fered with, and we hope citizens gen
erally will act liberal, where interests
are apt to clash, and that not one ob
stacle will be put in the way of the
enterprise. The proceedings of this
Company is something so unusual in
the line of railroad construction that
many people have misgivings with
regard to it but what better assur
ances can be asked than what is seen
that they have entered upon the
work in good faith, and propose to
do what they say they will? Twenty
or thirty years ago, it is true, rail
roads were built in a different way.
Generally innumerable persons were
bankrupted before a road brought in
a cent to reimburse the outlay. But
this is a progressive era and Ameri
cans lead the van. Now it seems
that a railroad can be built as easily
as our elder borthers used to build a
common river steamboat. Then Ore

York, Liverpool, St. Peterburg and

THE COWTY TICKET.
The Nominees of the Union Party
are now before the public, in this
county. But few words need be said
with reference to those names. They
are placed there because the gentle
men who bear them have been faith
ful to their country, during the time
of peril through which we are yet
passing. What can be said of those
who will oppose them? this only:
That they will be placed there because
of their fidelity to the party that
sought to destroy this government
That assassinated the great and good
Abraham Lincoln; that now delights
to honor the name of J. V ilkes
Boct'n Do you l;:ck evidence of this,
read from their own filthy sheets
from Brick Pomeroy to Beriah Brown
rro to the saloons, and listen to the
sentiments to which they tip the
"lass. The following are two exam
pies. We quote from the Unionist:
As we crowd the Democratic party of
Oregon hard down on their infamous rec
ord, they become desperate, and in un
guarded moments, reveal their true princi
ples. A few weeks ago, when we were at
Siiverton, a Democrat of good intelligence
and respectable appearance, but somewhat
oxhilerated by drink, entered a saloon and
drank the following murderous toast :
"Here's to the man who pulled the trigger.
And shot the man that freed the nigger!"
And that is not all : On Tuesday even
ing last, as we are credibly informed, Ex
CJovernor Whiteaker entering a saloon in
Salem, was introduced to the bar-keeper,
a very worthy gentleman by the name of
Booth. Grasping his hand fervently, thu
Governor exclaimed with heart-felt enthu
siasm. " Mr. Booth. 1 am glad to meet you.
I honor your name. The name of Booth,
sir, is glorious and immortal. Mr. Booth,
we will drink this to your health, in honor
of your name! '
Now iellow citizens of the Democratic
party in Oregon, what have you to say to
that ? Here is an open expression by one
of your representative men not one of

Of the exercises the Oreonian says:
Mr. W; P. Burke here delivered a
brief address on Ireland and the Irish
people. Mr. John Donovan, the ora
tor of the day, folio ved with an ora
tion of considerable length; devoted
largely to the history of Ireland's
triumphs, and her hopes of redemp
tion. It was a theme to interest the
Irish mind and touch the Irish hear t,
and during the lengthy address, Mr.
Donovan kept his audience as if spell
bound. He touched feelingly upon
the connection Irishmen had held with
the history and institutions of this
country, their adopted home. A
very interesting portion of the ora
tion was that devoted to showing the
enlightment of Ireland during the
dark ages, the glory of its authors,
scholars and poets, and the places
filled in the literary world by their
productions. In relation to St. Pat.
rick, the orator said that, though an
thorities differ as to his birth place, it
is settled beyond a reasonable doubt
that he was a native of Romish Gaul,
whence he was carried a captive to
Ireland while still a youth. By the
same authorities, he showed that his
mother was sister to the Bishop of
Tours, who was born in Wales. The
address abounded in historical facts,
of peculiar interest, especially to
Irishmen.
bushwhacker from Soap Creek, or a wild
rebel from the Forks of Santiam ; but ex
Governor of the State of Oregon, a gentle
man of political influence and social re
spectability he publicly honors the mur
derer of the President of the United States,
and drinks deep to the Genius of Assassin
ation !
Holy Mother of God ! Is that indeed
the spirit of the Democratic party in Ore
gon ? And have we not been right, all
the time, in pinning these reptiles down
ou the slimy and bloody track of their rec
ord as enemies of our country, and the
congeners of assas ins?
While we regret that there was no friend
of AmtAHAM Lincoln present with suffi
cient nerve and presence of mind to knock
the indecent blasphemer down, and tramp
him into the i'l.ior, we aregl id that Gover
nor Whiteaker has given public expression
to the real sentiments of the Democratic
State Convention, of which he is a leading
delegate ; and perhaps it is not too much
t) expect that that patriotic body will or
der the erection of a bronze statue of
Wilkes Booth.
Here may we stop to enquire whether
the late Ahkaiiam Lincoln has any friends
left in Oregon? The world moves on!
The gentle .spirit of ' social amenities ": is
abroad in the land; and a little while hence,
wo expect to hear Brother Smith, happy in
the paroxysms of a revival in the Metho
dist Church North, breaking forth with :
" Here's to the man that pulled the trigger,
And shot, the man that freed the nigger
O, that'll be joyful, joytul
On Dixie's happy shore!"'
And now fellow citizens men and wo
men of the Union party you know the
sentiment of the Democracy. It ekes from
their foul presses ; they betray it in their
anger ; it overflows from their cups, and
you need not be mistaken. While- the con
flict of arms has ceased, the war-spirit is
still tinquenched. It still stalks abroad
like a bloody spectre, restless, malignant
and unforgiving. It haunts the profane
shrine of every Democratic meeting; it
crouches like a hellish Madonna over the
ignominious grave of the Assassin; it lurks
in every dirty haunt of ignorance and
crime, ready to spring out, bl nv with its
fVctid breath and rekindle the expiring
torch of devastation; and until a better
enlightenment shall have revealed to the
people the hideous distortions and sinister
purposes of the rebel Democratic party,
we shall have no substantial peace; no
permanent safety; no effectual reconstruc
tion of the shattered fabric of the nation.

TlIK Ne'V II AM Pa II IKE ELECTION.
The Republican majority in New
Hampshire rather exceeds first ex
pectations This result has a point
e l significance. Eastern papers to
February lS'.h show that the con
test was made on broad national
grounds, and with especial reference
to the Presidential canvass. The
Republicans almost unanimously ac
cepted Grant, sustaining him in his
issue with the President, and in the
doctrine of loyal reconstruction ac
cording to the law of Congress;
while the Democrats, as the Tribune
says, nnable or unwilling to swallow
IVndJeton and Repudiation, were
driven to Johnson. The State can
didates were "quite overshadowed
by the Washington giants," and the
resuit is prophetic of a majority for
the Republican Presidential nominee
next November.

The. Constitution adonted in Goonria ! straight without the beans, and are a
provides for the removal of the capital to
Atlanta, and this instrument never shall

of political or civil rights by it conferred.
It repudiates all private debts incurred
prior to June. 18(i", and allows a home
stead exemption of $3,000. The organiza
tion of the military shall be subject to the
authority of Congress, and all persons may

The resolutions passed by Ihe New
York Democrats consist of serious charges
against the Republican party. They in

join in a grand and successful effort to rid
the country of such tyrants, and secure the
triumph of Democratic principles. Sey

and laboring men.
The text of tbc new treaty with the
North German Confederation is published.
According to article one, the North Ger
man Bund covenants to accord to Germans
who become naturalized citizens of the
Uuited States and reside in that country
five years, the same rights and privileges
as native born citizens of the, Republic.
The second clause of the same article re
ciprocally agree to the same provisions.
It is provided that whoever having thus
alienated himself from his own country
and returns to his native country and
there acquires domicil, shall by the acqui
sition of such domicil be considered to
have renounced his citizenship. Article 2
says that naturalized citizens upon return
to their native country, remain liable to
trial and punishment for actions punisha
ble by the laws of their original couulry
committed before emigration. Article o
extends the extradition treaty of 18.V2 be
tween the United States and Prussia to the
North German Bund. Article 4 declares
the acquisition of domicil, which works a
loss of citizenship, shall be presumable
from two year's residence in the original
country, and the declaration of intention
to become citizens shall have no interna
tional effect. Article 3 and G relate to the
ratification of the treaty and stipulate that
this shall take effect within six months, and
the treaty shall take effect immediately
after the exchange of ratifications and re
main ia force ten vears.

"good shot'' with a Henry rill-, you
are just the man to assist in the d -vclujuneiit
of Eastern Oregon. To
all others 1 would say stay at homo.
I would not say one word in dispar
agement of our ncilit)tring mining
camps. Success attend them say 1;
but 1 do think it wrong to induce
thousands to come here, when there
are men in our midst who would re
joice to know where they could locate
a claim out of which they could real
ize five dollars a day for the next six
months.
Mr. Getchcll is of the opinion that
the excitement reardino- '"Willow
Creek"' is unwarrantable. lie .says:
No discoveries of recent date have
been made that will justify any great
number of men in the hope of getting
employ mcnt oven at wages. Some
designing persons, for reasons un
known to the writer of this, have cir
culated fabulous stories concerning
the "richness ' and "extent" of the
mines in this vicinity, well calculated
to cause a sampede of thousands of
men in this direction, when they
must know that nineteen out of every
twenty are doomed to disappoint
ment, and will leave here uttering
curses loud and deep against those
who "stearahoated" them.
The Manchester Guardian says
that in 1812, when Mr. Dickens sailed
for America in one of the Cunard boats
he was "booked" by Mr. Burgess,
who still acts in the same capacity,
and sits at the same desk ia the Com
pany's office, as he did 25 years ago.
Mr. Dckens recognized him at once,
and on receiving his ticket cordially
shook hands and reminded Mr. Bur
gess of the circumstance.
The new Reconstruction bill,
which originated with the House
committee, and which proposes to
deprive the I'resideut of all power to
oppose the Congressional scheme of
reconstruction, and to devolve his
present powers on General Grant, as
the GeneraUin-chief of the army,
was passed by the House, after sev
eral days' debate, on January 21, by
a vole of 124 yeas to 45 nays
enough to carry it over a veto by the
President. The bill was promptly
introduced, on January 22, in the
Senate; but no action had been taken
on it, though it was thoroughly des
bated, up to January 23.
Mr. A. B. Meat-ham, from East
of the mountains, represents the pros
pects cf a triumph by the Union men
in Eastern Oregon as more flattering
