FOR THE IRIS PRESS. A. Wobd to the Wisb. Settle all your difficulties Yrithout going to law for the law in Oregon is not only expensive and tedious but vexatious and extreme ly uncertain. Houevcr just and plain your case may be, the learned gentlemen of the bar are ever ready to help you out of your difficulties; or, rather to get you further in. They all seem to be supplied with a NEW STORfS. FOR sale at the New Store on Main St., the cargoof Brig Eveline consisting of a large and extensive assoilment of Dry Goods, Hardware, Crockery, Groceries, Agricultural Implements, Boots and Shoes, Stoves, Fire-arms, Paints, Iron, and Ready-made clothing.

Hence the great uncertainty of going to law, since all evidence and equity are lost sight of, and nothing but the learned instructions of his honor suffered to go with a jury to their retirement. It is grating to the feelings to have our property taken from us and given to the lazy and knavish part of the community and even worse, to hear of the learned gentlemen of the bar relating fic tious anecdotes purporting to he our follies thus fill ing up their idle hours with risible exercises. To avert such abuses, and to reduce the professional gentlemen to the maul and uedge, or scythe and cra dle, I beg leave to offer the following advice: If a difference arises between you and your neigh bor, submit the case to arbitration, and if the idle knave refuses to pay his just and iindisputablc debts, at Portland and Oieijon City: 2 thousand gall's molasses 32 kegs white, green and lo hundred barrels salt black lead Sixty do syrup 12 bags shot too lbs. black pepper 1G boxes window plass 5 thous. lbs.

Lynch" against going to law is most unquestionably good. Too frequently the very substance of a man is wasted away in protracted liti gation without the slightest return of satisfaction fur his great investment of fears and hopes as to Ihe ulti mate result. 45 44 plates 15 44 striped shirts 40 44 regatta 44 2 thous. assorted needles 6 cases flannel 300 pieces assorted prints 5 bales brown drills 6 44 blue collon 3 " shirtings 2 44 duck 6 44 canvass 3G dozen crimson ponges handkerchiefs 200 lbs. sewing Ivvino 316 44 linen thread 225 cotton 25 doz. manilla bats, etc. etc. etc. fU.

As to the administration of the laws, we believe that they can be administered lo the benefit and satisfaction of the people without a resort to 44 Judge Lynch," an end that should be most carefully guarded against. Whatever tends to violate the supremacy of the law has a tendency likewise lo sunder the bonds of socie ty, and the result would be that the correction of one evil, by such a reprehensible method, would create a thousand infinitely worse. Our correspondent uses such strong language in ref erence to Judge Skinner that really he compells us lo observe that, in our humble opinion, since Ihe estab lishment of the Circuit Court in this Territory, our ap proximation towards a becoming dignity and authority in the dispensation of the law, has been n osl laudable and encouraging.
