Collection- of Taxes in Clackamas
Cocntt. Among other false statements
being made use of by the left wing of
Trice's army in this county is : That
Sheriff Burns has collected a large amount
of taxes more than he has accounted for.
Now, the Democrats know that Sherilf
Utirns ba.s done no such thing. They
know that every such statement is a base.
ungrateful, unmitigated falsehood. 1 hey
know that he has collected and turned
over to the county for six years past, the
taxes assessed here, nearer to the full
amount than any heri;f or tax collector
ever elected by them. They know that
these attacks upon Mr. Burns are wilful,
mischievous, and solely of a personal
character. Last November the tax list
for LSG7 was placed in his hand-", lie is
required by law to pay over to the Treas
urer once in each month. This he has
done promptly ; and as required by law
on Tuesday last in making a return to
the April session of the County Court we
find that out of the total tax S:iO.:lO,h7.
be has collected and paid over S2!?.320.56
or to within S2.070.31 of the whole sum.
for all of w hich he has the receipt of the
County Treasurer. This does not look
very muchjike an embezzlement of funds,
does it ? Look at the facts in the case,
and then judge as to the ungratefulness of
these charges by Democrats against Mr.
Uurns. lie has never, in but one instance,
sold personalsproperty to make taxes.
lit has waited upon Ijemocreds months for
their tai-es, and in some cases when it was
necessary to m.vke his returns, has paid
money oxd of his oven pocket, etnd collected
ff 'delinquents afterwards, (the larger por-
lion of whom were Democrats,) rather
than force a sale of their effects. We do
certainly think that Mr. Burns will retire
from oifice with more friends than men
generally have, at the expiration of a
long term like his has been iu the unenvi
able place he has filled. And further; that
with the exception of the few w hining
curs on his track, none will refuse to en
dorse all that he has done. To utterly
destroy such statements as have been cir
culated regarding the transactions of Mr.
Burns we appeal to the books of the
fiherilf and Treasurer, which will show
that, instead of his paying the largest pro
portion over in scrip, he has paid it in
coin. The records show that on the lOih
of November the tax roll was placed in
his hands for collection. On the 5;h. titli.
Uth, 12th a-Hd 20th of December, pay
ments were mad-;, aggregating $10,851,71.
of which $7.ii1.5o, were in coin. In
January three payments were made ag
gregating $(i.723.21. of which sum .3.023.-
1 was in coin. In February two pay
ments, aggregate 1 478.40, were made, of
which $3.21)0 was in coin. On Match 7th
$1,831,80 was paid, of which sum $1,790.
!):) was i'i coin. On Tuesday la-t. April
7th $1,420.10 was paid, of which S2.4M.tSG
was in coin. The total sum of $28,320.51!.
being the whole amount collected to April
7th, thus shows to have been paid over as

''Local Jolunals." We appreciate the
liind, uninterested advice of those of our
Democratic friends who wish r.s v eil so
long as we make a good local paper. They
tt:y they will give us praise for that but
cannot support a political paper here.
They say there ought, not to be but tico
papers in the State devoted to polities
and they ought to be monsters ; beside the
Mnail. little daniiy county papers, which
should be derotcJ tr ayrlcuUure, etc. But.
let us ask where will you find a Democratic
paperin Oregon half as devoted to the
matenal interests of their locality as the
Republican sheets? Gentlemen:
"If you can neglect your own nppropria
inents. but praising that
In others, wherein yon excel yourself,
You shall be lunch believed here.''
The Enterprise made iis appearance on
the 27th of October lss-JG. iu our leader of
that day we said :
As has been the case with us for the
past four years of our connection vih the
leading paper of the State, we shall con
stantly aim to deserve well of the publ c
We sh ill spare no exertions to make the
K iTKiu'K'sa a welcome visitor to every
household and place of" business in the
Sure, an i shall look for our reward in a
substantial encouragement which outlives
O the transient excitements brought about
by the advocates of political parties. Wo
shall not wholly ignore the political
sohool itisamitter ot impossibility to
be strictly neutral iu these days. All
people have their political preferences,
and we have ours. We believe it to be
the duty ol all loyal and liberty loving
people to aid in strengthening the hands
of Congress in the contest which now
s.-ems inevitable, and for such ends, when
political subjects jm discussed in the
Ocolumns of the E.vrERi'RLs;:, we shall lend
our efforts.
We have kept those principles in viev?
nnd shall continue, as we have walked in
the past.
A Pioxeehs Visit. For the first time
in about twelve year, on Weiaes liy last
oar worthy cotempor.iry across the fray.
Jlr. J. Flenrnz. visited Portland. There
are certainly but few persons in Ihe world
who can show a more close attention to
"business than Mr. Fleming. We are pleas
ed to learn that he was well treated by old
a-oeiates on this visit. Ilis allotted days
are drawing to aclo-e. and soon time shall
vcort him across the widcrivertoth.it
land so often promised by Jehovah to the
Patriarchs of old. Mr. Flemhnr, it may
not be generally known, is the Pioneer of
Printers on the" Pacific Co ist. at a very
early day. here in Oreiron City, he pub
lished the first journal, west of the Mis
souri river, and from that time to the
present has lived and been respected by
all by whom he has been surrounded.
Salmon. We have elsewhere referred
to the trout of this county, but it must not
1e prrsumed that we have no heavier fish.
The Willamette Falls have always been
famous for salmon. Mr. Gordon is this
year catching more of them than ever. In
no other country, that we can speak from
n knowledge of, are salmon anil trout such
ordinary dishes that the laboring man
will even turn up his nose at them. The
delicacies of other hinds are common food
in Oregon oysters, fi-h. game, and every
product under the sun. may be had here
ia abundance.
Cocxty Cotkt. The April session of the
County Court for this county. Judge Mat-b-R-k
presiding, was unimportant. Judge
Matlock has tried many of the most im
portant cases that ever attracted attention
from the P.ar, within a year past, and no
doubt feels a relief at a" short respite.
Stoppeo. The daily m til service to Os
wego has been discontinued. Our friends
there will receive the Enterprise on Satur
day morning, by favor of Purser Pope, of
the Steamer Senator.
The Portland Package of the Extep.
rmss, will go down on Saturday's Senator
through favor of Purser Tope, leaving
here at 7 a. m.. regularly. We shall aT
m to j
' reach all of our readers by the first mn
Teyaces. after public ition.
CorMT TREAscr.Eit. At the last term of
the County Court the resignation of J. E.
ITiivford was accepted, and Hon. J. D.
Locer.was appointed, treas irer of Clacks--pus
county for'thc uneypir -J (era.
Seminary Report. The term closed
this week under very favorable circum
stances. We regret that we were unable
to visit the school during the teim. We
feel that it is principally owing to neglect
that we did not ; and we promise our
faithful Principal to dd better in the fu
ture. We feel a pride in the school, how
ever, whether we find time to visit it or
not, and from what we are able to learn,
from disinterested parties, all citizens have
cause to be proud of the Institution. The
progress of the pupils, we have been as
sured, in all departments during the term
just ended has been inure marked than
during any preceding term of the year.
We doubt whether any one Institution in
the fcjtulo embraces a more extended
course of studies from the alphabet to the
classics, and from, the simplest rules to the
most abstract sciences. In fact, the Su
perintendent has for some time had it in
view to obtain a charter tor the Seminary,
by which means it would soon rank among
the graduate Institutions of the country.
The following report is" handed to us fur

Trolt Fisuino. There is hardly a brook
in this county in which the speckled trout
is "ot 10 ue tounu : uiu ine viacKanias, on
account of iis purity and coldness, is no
doubt the favored resort of those beauties.
Several of" our friends have lately made
raids upon these streams, and the luck
ones, or the adepts et well paid. For
two Saturdays past " the boys of the office"
have met with very good success. They
report that bayous are plenty which af
forded more than average spurt, and that
if the sportsm in is a shrewd desciple of
old Izaak he may hit localities that are
sure to give him minting to his hearts con
lent. Once in a while we hear accounts
that fairly excite in us the highest pisca
torial enthusiasm ; but when we hear the
other side, i. e. the adventures cf such
trout (idle men as Bud T. .or AI. W. .
v. e think we can appreciate a string of the
speckled delicacies better by ' hooking
on'" to them without the aid of line and
' fly," at some heap spread out miscella
neously about the doors of our provision
stores. We admire trout, but we hesitate
to tread upon the brink of slippery shores,
or hang suspended from limbs 'where hats,
meerschaum pipe and gold watches are
sometimes lest overboard.
Stamped En veloi'ks. The old fashioned
postage stamp, once considei'd so grease a
convenience is now votojl a nuisJnce.
They are so often lost whifrf used, and are
so often forgotten by Vitets of letters,
that the department "has decided to dis
courage their further um.'. Accordingly,
discontinuing their further manufacture,
it is determined to issue in future only
stamped envelopes. These will be issued
of all sizes and of ail icites of postage;
and to encourage their general use, they
will be sent to any addicts, when three
hundred are oruered. with the printed
notitieadou on the back to return to the
writer if not called for in a specified time.
This reloading aiso will be done free of
postage; In so doing the Department has
met a pub ic want, and soon we shall s. e
no more stamps separate from the en
velopes. The public may make good use
of what envelopes they have on hand.
El: TKi-:..
ihe Ircqtient appeals to
the purse, -is a source of
backing coin-
ions" on the success of one party or the
other, in the political contest now raging,
is often amusing. Last week one d ty a
thrifty miner liom Idaho, of the Demo
cratic persuasion, wanted to make a bet
in this city on Joseph's success over David.
The Chabenged party responded wi h the
oro, when party of the firs:, part backed
water a peg. saving that he did not want,
to take a small bet. wanted to go over
$10.). saying that a thousand would be
belter. No sooner said, than half a dozen
hands ''went down'- alter as manv purses,
all in the crowd, any one of which would
have taken the better at his proposition,
but he concluded not to go a cent upon
the result. r
Marqi-am's PiiccrxcT. A correspondent
who a'tended at Marquam's Precinct, last
Saiurd.iy. says he listened to the Demo
crat who has been selected as the mnstnp
propriate one to be defeated by Ex
Governor Gibbs." concludes: that Mar
quam s Precinct is all right and will re
deem herself next June. We now have
the names of more voters on our list thrn
voted the Pnion ticket two years ngo. and
several Union men have not yet
signed it. The work goes bravclv on.

IIerdkp.s. During the week several
small bands, and one or two large droves
of loose cattle have been driven through
our streets for parts of the State cat of the
mountains, and the Territories. The cat
tle are mostly all yearling's and two vear
olds. showing that the pick is for the fat
of the 'land.
Got what he Shot For. On Tuesday
night officers Ryan and Richardson took
a pretty hard subject to jail. He was
caught in the act of shooting offa revolver,
promiscuously, and when asked what he
was doing that for replied that he was
.-hooting for a bed."' He got what he
shot for. but it cost him more than the
average price at a first class hotel.
Glee Ci.lb. Members of the Union
Glee Club of Portland, spent a few days
in this city, leaving for Aurora and Salem
on Thursdiy a. in. They sing stirring.
patriotic airs, hence we conclude ttiat Ute

The fifth concert of the Portland Phil
harmonic Society will be given on Friday
evening next.

After a lull in the shipping business of
California for about a month, we note re
ports of the charter of a ship to load bread-stuffs-
for Europe. Pacific Coast Wheat was
quoted at 15s. on the 2Sth a decline of
lOd. from the ruling prices of two weeks
previous.
There is a continued activity iu the
Flour trade. As an evidence of the grow
ing popularity of Oregon Flour, we may
mention that the Pacific Mali Company now
draw their supplies for the Atlantic service
from Oregon City. Late advices from
New York report high grades of Flour
comparatively quiet; nevertheless there
was considerable demand for Oregon de
scription, which, though somewhat high
er, was relatively cheap, aud very popu
lar among consumers.
Oats have taken a sudden rise in San
Francisco, but the market here is not
affected by it. inasmuch as it is is not pos
sible, only in exceptional cases, to make
shipments.

against all their enemies the integrity of
the Union aLd the paramount authority of
the Constitution and laws of the United
States, and to preserve at the ballot-box
the fruits of the late war.
2. lif solved. Tint the work of recon

to the legislative department of the gov

ernment. 3. Hesolrcd. That we are in favor of ad
mitting the rebel States to representation
in Congress at the earliest practicable mo
ment wiiieh the public safety will permit.
4. Jiesolced. That the national debt was
necessarily contracted to save the national
life and ought to be honestly paid, and we
condemn every scheme devised for the re
pudiation of the whole or any part of the
debt as disgraceful to the Republic and
unjust to its citizens, and that the propo
sition to pay in legal tender notes those
debts contracted to be paid 'in specie, is
only a milder term for repudiation.
5. li'esolced. That, under the Constitu
tion, the Federal Government has no right,
to interfere with the elect. ve franchise in
any State having representation in Con
gress and wl ere civil government is not
overthrown by rebellion.

tion is the n.iiiiral and inherent right of
all people and indispensable to the enjoy
ment of the rights of life, liberty and the ''
pursuit of happiness : that while the citizen
owes allegiance to the Government, the
Government owes protection to the citizen,
and that it is the duty of the Government ;
of the United States to protect all its

merican people are due to the soldiers
and sailors of the army and navy who have
perilled their lives in defense of their
country and in vindication of the honor of
its flag; that the nation owes to them
some perm ment recognition ol their p i
triotisin and their valor, and ample and
permanent provision for those of their
survivots who have received disabhi g md
honorable wounds in the service of iheir
conntiy ; and that the memories of those
win have fallen ;a its defense shall be
held in gratyftll and. everlasting remem
brance. 0. Resolved, That we are in favor of lib

its control and invigorating properties, and
it is recommended to mother.", enfeebled by
