Newspaper Page Textj T V -"5 V f ggfp Oregon fateiaait: tbs prixramor vmiaw thios. Tbe Democratic press of tills State la pretty near unanimous in opposition to botb tbe East and West Side Railroad enterprise. Tbeltetof papers In such opposition Includes tbe Albany Perao cmt. That paper rarely omits an op portunity to assail tbe "soulless mono polies" that are building them, and to create and maintain unreasonable prejudices against them. They are denounced not only by tbe Democrat but by tbe other Democratle' papers, as grasping and oppressive powers which htvo laid sordid bands upon the peo ple's substance to spoil it. There might be supposed to be some sincere appre hensions on tbe part of these carpers, of barm to come to tbe people through tbese great corporations, if we were to find tbem burling their anathemas also at all other great corporation.2. We are reminded, however, of the fact that it is only tbe Oregon & California and tbe Oregon Central railroad companies , that are made tbe objects ot attack. We see no word of carping at tlie Ca nal and Locks Co. of Oregon City, though that Company will virtually . bold tbe navigation of tbe Willamette river in its bands. We have seen no word of censure from these quarters, of tbe immense and dishonest disposals ot public lands to the various favorites of tbe last Legislature, though some ot them hold vast tracts of valuable lands to-day, to tbe exclusion of set tlers of which tbe State stands in so much, need. Tbe Democrat of this week shows bow insincere are its ex pressed fears of what tbe railroad corporations may do, by mentioning with decided approval a " Prodigious Enterprise, tn which Mr. T. Edgcr- too Hogg and a party of European capitalists " are engaged. That Hogg and that " party 1 have purchased and " monopolized " the Immense fran chises of the Dalles Military Road Co., the Yaquioa Bay Railroad Co. and the Willamette Valley and Cascade Moun tain Wagon Road Co., embracing an aggregate of 1,500,000 acres of land, Tbe Democrat does not see in this, any monopoly nor any danger to any body. It has no political capital to make by seeing anything wrong in this aggregation of lands in the hands of one company and It therefore rather rejoices than otherwise at the prospect that this company " means business Iftbey mean business and really in tend to build a railroad or to carry forward any other prodigious enter prise " in Oregon, we are ready to join in tbe Democrat's commendations and good wishes; but we really can't see how these European capitalists are to be any less feared titan any other, admitting that there may be ground for fearing anybody who may be en gaged in 4 prodigious enterprises.'' A FAT THUS. We are credibly informed that the Register of State Lands in tbe La Grande District, or persons in his em ploy or confidence, have been enjoying a particularly fat thing, in the way of fees for agency in the location of State : ands. The way the thing worked JLwas thus: Tbe State lands are, of i course mapped, and the maps were in the exclusive possession of this little "ring" of land agents. A person desir ing to locate and purchase State land, would naturally consult tbe map to see what tracts might be vacant or taken. Looking upon tbe map, he would find it covered over with names, indicating to the uninitiated that such tracts a were thus marked were already taken. Tbe person desirious of investing in State fends, finding it difficult to see any room for further locations, would naturally be in a quandary. Now comes one of the "ring" and proposes that, for fifty dollar fee, be can and will make him a location of a tract of good . land. The fifty dollar lee being paid, the "rtag"-man simply rubs off the map a fictitious name that be bad put there himself, and in lieu thereof writes tbe name of the bona fide locator. "There's richness for yon." Isn't there an opportunity for a "Smelling Com mittee" in the La Grande District f A MUTICJlI. BUXDIX It is pretty dear by this time, since Xew Hampshire and Connecticut have declared so unmistakably for Grant, that tbe Senatorial conspiracy against him was but anotlier of those stupend ous blunders which men of brains and . unbridled ambition, without judgment or principle, ire constantly making. Not only have the unbiased minds of the country come to that conclusion butweflud even many of those who started in to "run with the bounds,' confessing tbe fact. Tbe Washington correspondent of tho New York Tri bune admits that the last raid of Sum ner, Trumbull, Slmrz, etc upon the administration was a total tailure and that it harmed no one but the raiders. The Washington correspondent of the Springfield Republican 'he other one of the three or four anti-grant Repub lican journals makes tbe same admis sion. Don Piatt, of the Washington Capitol, who Is bitterly hostile to Grant and to his re-nomination, also concedes the same thing, and says that "alter sifting with care all the evidence offer ed, we are forced to admit that not even a prima fade ease has been made out." The whole affair, according to JCr. Sumner's own testimony, origin ated altogether in malevolent gossip, , and his total failure to substantiate as a witness any particle of the insinua tions which he had uttered as a Sena tor, served quite as much as any thing - else to explade the slander, and hoist him with his own petard. Sumner, the Constitutional blunderer, never committed a more egregious blunder than when be uncorked his last bottle of petty, malevolent spite agamst President Grant. ' , The Democrat calls the monthly statements made by tbe TJ. S. Treasur er joggling monthly statements," and refuses to believe that tbe national ; debt has been reduced much. Well, well. Mart., the taxes have been re duced greatly and that's what con cerns the people far more than does the particular style of tbe Treasurer's book-keeping. And, Mart, tbe pub lic credit is better than it used to be, and greenbacks are less odious even to Democrats than they were a few years ago. ' U. 8. Bonds, too, are rather more valuable than they were when Grant and Boutwell took hoi i. Who feM been 'juggling" all tbese things, Hart? Say, Mart., kt's not worry " about the Monthly statements. Is it not singular that while the .Democracy consider the "Liberal Re publican" movement an excellent (thing for the purification of the Re- , publican party, and look upon it with ' smile that is child-like and bland, they have not thoegbt of organizing a ' similar party for tl purification of the Democracy. The conundrum is, Why THE VOTE FOB COXUREMMA!. We are often asked when the elec tion of Congressman in this State viH take place, and in what manner is the vote to be cast . Many who are usually well informed seem to be in doubt as to the terms of the law. We can an swer all inquirers on tliese point, at once. Our next election for Congress man will take place at the general State election on the first Monday In June. The law of Congress, approved Feb. 28, 1871, provides that all votes for Representatives in Congress shall hereafter be by written or printed bal lot, any law of any State to the con trary nowithstandiug and that all votes received or recorded In any oth er way shall be of no effect. We published the otlter day the text of a bill Introduced by Senator Corbett, . to amend tbe act of 1871, by adding this proviso: '"That this section sliall not apply to any State voting other wise whose elections for said Repre sentatives shall occur previous to the regular meeting of its Legislature next after the approval of said act." Should this amendatory bill become a law, then the vote for Congressman in Oregon will be by the vita voce method as provided by the State law ; otlier wlse, the law of 1871 will operate and the vote for Congressman will be by ballot. A Kl'UUEfcTlYK FU-1TKE. Again the "Th : Nast" has set the world to laughing ; or at least so much of it as can appreciate the joke which New Hampshire perpetrated the other day on the Democracy by electing the Republican State ticket and tliereby declaring for ( Irant. This time it is the picture of Grant in the uniform of an orderly sergeant, stand ing In front of a double rank of sol diers and calling the roll. He has called New Hampshire and tliat State, personated by the right file man of the .first rank has answered "Here" with the "true military ring." Xew Hampshire la heard from, and Grant has scored one nndertlie head of "pres ent" at roll call. The Xew Hamp shire countenance, as Xat lias fixed it is open enough to Indicate that tbe first file man intends that there shall be no mistake about his being on hand when called. Connecticut stands next In the rank with an eye of atten tion to business tliat indicates a pur pose to respond quite as promptly and satisfactorily as Xew Hampshire has already done. Tlien comes Rliode In land. We know now tliat Grant has called tlie roll tliat far down, and tliat tbe response Is "Here" in the case of each. Tlie oilier States will follow, in most cases, with a similar response. When Grant has got through the roll, tlie "absent" column will have scarce a blot in it. The Xew York World of the 3th insU asserts that there is hope that the Cincinnati Convention may shape the future politics of tlie country. In view of such possibility, and the ' further opinion' of tlie World expressed some days ago, that tlie Democracy might yet be compelled to support Jlie nomi nee of the Cincinnati Convention, we suggest to the Dalles Convention the following plank tor tlie Oregou Demo cratic platform, as fully stating the attitude and policy of their party. llesohc That "to leat Grant" is Bedrock policy ; ditto, Xew iJepart ure ; ditto, Passivism ; ditto, Pos- j sum. Tliat we are Bedrocks ; ditto New Ieparturists; ditto Passivists ; ditto Possums. That it the Cincinnati Convention presents a Liberal Republi can candidate, or any other man who stands the best chance "to beat Grant," then we are not only firm Bedrocks, nimble Jew pcparttirist.-, indifferent PasslvLsts, and sleepy Possums, but ditto Liberal Republicans. If the Cin cinnati Convention don't present such a candidate, then the iJemoeracy of Oregon is still open for sealed proposals from tlie highest bidder. And tliese immutable principles we will maintain till we find It necessary to cliauge our base again. , We understand the liemuoracy of this county are leaving no stone un turned to get tip a "People's Ticket." They , will be modestly coutent with two out of tlie five Representatives on such ticket, and a lair division of the county officers, say, Sheriff. Assessor, one Commissioner, School Snjieriti tendent, etc just such officers as will give them tlie practical control of county affairs. We are waiting to see if any Republicans are willing to en ter into such an arrangement and thus throw away all chauee to ele"t a Re publican Congressman and I". S. Senator. ' The Oregonian says : "It takes both money and brains to start a newspa per, in nci or lance with the Herald's views." Xotalwaysso. For Instance tlie Herald requires a considerable money, but it makes shift to get along with a small modicum of brains. Gov. Grover, in carrying out tlie Dem ocratic programme under the litigant act, has started a nmnlier of newspa pers that don't betray any brains at ail.- Mmirtj is wliat litigant pajiers go for. The possum Governor's organ an nounces that Got. Grover is going to take the stump, whereat tbe Herald chuckles with evident delight. The Governor won't do tlie Democracy any great amount of good. His anti-Chl-nese speech has gone where the wood- blue twlneth, and by tlie time hu gets through telling what great things "I and Gilfrey" have done since "I and Gllfrey" became ' the Executive, lie won't have any time to talk about Democracy or any pending issue. Tlie Herald man must be admitted hereafter to be the champion inventor of scare-crows and discoverer of In genious mare's nests. He wants to know, now, If tlie people of Oregon are willing to allow one man to have tlw power to regulate the size of tlielr half bushels! Tbe poor old man has evidently allowed his mind to dwell so long on the hlea ot a one nian power tliat be has become limey. Judge Boise will deliver a political speech at Lafayette next Monday even ing. The Judge Is armed with enough testimony as to the bad eminence to which tbe present State officers have attained iu the management of the Hate's financial affairs, to make the present campaign particularly lively ' for them, and lie. will unquestionably doit. . -- : According to the Oregonian tlds is what's the matter with Hannah, lu ; Clackamas county : "Men who seek employment, and are willing to vote tbe straight ticket next June, cnu tlnd employment at Oregon City, in the Willamette Canal and hock Com pany." ; . What's the matter with the "Smell ing Committee's' ' report, tliat it should be next to impossible to find a copy ? By whose orders have the books been suppressed? How many copies are there on band, and who can get them ? EDITOHIAL 'OTEK. j Albany has. at last, voted in favor j of maintaining free schools, Wo take tlds as an hulk ntlau that tlie .darkness In which Linn county has hem: so long silting, is alwut to '"light up." . Xow come- the Alkiny liemocrat and gives us a list of tlie Democratic candidates for C-ongre Slater. Helm, Burnett and llayden entirely foi-get-ting or Ignoring Gen. Xez. We take it for granted, now, that Xesmith won't be thought ol. lie probably don't think much of it, lihnsc.li. It was the 1.1th Amendment which carried Connecticut lor the Republican ticket, if we may believe the Portland Herald. Verily, "things is uot as they used to was." It used to be tlie Dem ocratic plug-uglies, Five Points bruis ers, rejieaters. and putters-on of heads, that carried Connecticut. ' We see a statement in one of our ex changes, that a Mrs. Mary Olmstead Hanks late of Xew York, is to be let loose this summer uiiou California and Oregon, 'to tell us what she knows about "The relation of Marriage and Indus try." A good many Im-'hands will, doubtless iuvitc her home with them to talk with their wive?. Frank Leslie's Illustrated calls the women's rights women the "Xew Or der of Amazons," and insists that men ought to come to the assistance of God and Xature to restrain them. If the j women have really got beyond the t on- trol of God and Xature, then, indeed, j are we lost. So far, however, as our! experience goes wo lind that ".man's angels" have still a "touch ot nature' left. j We find the following bit ol lain- j combe in the Albany Democrat, in a paragraph relating to the late rosuni rally at Salem : "If the interest awa- j keued lie kept up until the election we j may expect a report from "Fair Mari- i on" which will cause the rotten iladi- ! cuIUm of that county to hang its pit- j trld head in despair and make tbe long : despondent but ever gallant Democracy j ot tliat section rejoice witti exceeding j great joy." Mart, that makes us "larf." The expenditures of( Grant's Admin-1 istration for this last fiscal year were j fS5,l2,03.1 Itl Jess than those of the last year of Andrew Johnson, not withstanding that during the year $l'J,(i(U,r0S 10 more was paid in pen sions to widows and orphans of tl:o-e who died that their country might he saved, and notwithstanding also that the purchaii' of Alaska. $7,-00.fXt. ' which should have lieen paid by John son, was allowed to go over to be a eliarsre on tbe nresent Administration. Inasmuch as the Democratic party. 4 with tlie Xew Ytttk World at its head, is just at present acting as wet nur-e 1 for the Cincinnati Convention of Lib eral Republicans, we desire to know j what Possum is going to represent the interests of the Oregon Democracy in tlie matter. We await news from tlie : Dalles Convention. The St. Louis Democrat says there i is no division in Missouri in the Re- publican ranks, and that there is no ; dissent from the general accord of tlie ) Republican press of that State. In the birth-place of tlie sportive possum that j animal is practically and as really dead . as it pretends to be. I Wlien Gov. Miller and the rest of j the delegates from this county to the j Democratic State Convention get to the i Italics and go to sloshing round as it i they were bed-rockers, we suppose the j Convention will rememlier tliat they ( an; only possums in disguise. The dispatches say that. Senator ; Sumner's friends think that in a few days lie an enninit himself to the Cincinnati movement. It would imt . take him half so long to commit stti- ! cide. Neither event, however.votild stop the Grant movement. ' A call for a meeting ot the Republi can County Comniitie, appears in to-! day's issue of tlie Statesman. 1 ! inemlx'rs are reipiested to meet at j Salem, at 1 o'clock p. M.. Wednesday, ; 17th inst.

Kel- sey, the first American white woman who crossed the plains and set foot in Stockton, paid a visit to Captain C. M. Welx-r, l)r. Grattuii, anil otlier pio neers of this city. This lady, at the age of eighteen year, left Jasper coiin'y, Missouri, and journeyed across tlie plains, with her husband, Benja min Kelsey, in the Spring ot 1841. She was tlie only woman in tlie first immigrant party, which consisted of thirty-thrte members. Among the number were Captain C. M. Weber of this city, .folm Bidwell of Chieo, and Mr. Ik'ldcn of San .lose, Colonel H'rightm.m, Joseph Childs, Grove Cook, and others. Tliey landed in tlie Fall of 1S-11, at what is known as the Dr. Marsh ranch, near Antioch, and titter residing there lor a week or two, left for Slitter's Fort, passing over the ground upon which Stockton is now situated, and also over the ground where the city of Sacramento now stands. They came by way of the old emigrant trail, through Carson canyon, Hope Valley in the Sierra Nevada mountains, to the Calaveras big trees, thence to the San Joaquin valley to Marsh's, as above stated. Mrs. Kelsey and her husband remained at. Sutter's Fort until the Spring of 1843, wlien they started for Oregon, went to the Willamette Vallev and thers resided until the Fall oriS4i when they re turned to California, taking up their abode in Xapa Valley. She was pres ent at the capture of the r'ort at Sono ma in iS4(, and saw. the near Hag raised. This fort, held by tlie Mexi cans, was captured by some sixty white men. in ltsu .urs. Kelsey and her husband went again to Oregon, and remained until 1855, then returned to California, and in 1856 started through Lower California and Mexico on their way to Texas. On their wav through the Apache country, they lost all tliey possessed, even the greater jiarr oi tneir ciotumg, anu. one or tneir little girls was eaptuit'd and scalped by the Indians. Thy readied Texas iii 1853, remained in that State several years ; and finally, finding no snot ou God's footstool so healthy and inviting as California, tliey again returned to the land of the setting sun.

Ed. .Statesman : Tliere U a prolia bility tliat tlie act hitherto passed in 1-Siil, providing for tlie payment of ex penses iiictirred bv Washington and Oregon in the suppression of Indian liostiliiie. will Im.- amended by tlie paxsage of a bill introduced by Mr. Cor bett, under which tlie Third Auditor will settle all claims on tile in his office in accordance with the resolutions passed by tlie Senate. February, 71. Tie Committee ot Military Afl'uir lias agreed to reiiort the bill favorably, tlie Senator liavtng appeared before them. Tlie Senate .Mid iviary Committee will reirt favorably, and put upon its imssage at an earl day, the following amendment and pntrisu, introduced by ilr. Corbett, (Sec 10of the Enforce ment act) o as to read : Sec. 19. Tliat all votes for Repre sentatives in Congress shall hereafter be be written or printed ballot, any law of any State to the contrary notwith standing ; and all votes received or re corded contrary to the provisions of this section shall be of none effect:" 1'roriUeJ, Tliat this section shall not apply to any State voting otherwise whose elections for said Representa tives shall occur previous to tlie regu lar meeting of iU Legislature next af ter the approval of said act. This will relieve Oregon, if passed, of the difficulty in regard to voting at tlie ensuing election by liallot. The bill providing that tlie Presi dent may appoint a Paymaster Gener al has passeil the .Senate and now coes to tlie llottse for its action. There is considerable interest manifested iu this bill, as it Ls supposed Gen. B. Alvord, formerly in comma ml of tlie Depart ment of the Columbia, will be appoint ed to tlie position, ami no better ap pointment could be made. INDIAN AFFAI1U. Leroy S. Ij"ar, who lias been assign ed to Klamath agency, Oregon, will probably be appointed a full agent. Mr. Corbett lias been interested to get adequate appropriations for sur veys of Indian Reservations, and is also making efforts to get an appropri ation for the survey ot timliereil land west of tlie Cascade mountain at in creased rates. These lauds have been neglected until tlie Senator, last year, obtained an appropriation of $20,000, at increased rates which has enabled tlie Surveyor General to get these land surveyed to some extent. Tlie. interests of Oregon are closely looked after by Senator Corbett, not only in the Senate hut in the House as well. He wateliesfor tlie interests of the State in looking after appropria tions for river improvement, custom houses, and tlie Indian service, sur veys, &c. SKNATK 1K11ATK ON THK TAlilFF.

On Saturday tea and coflee were unexpectedly placed on tlie five list, which vote will have the effect to settle much ot the uncer tainty tliat lias been telt in regard to what tlie present Congress will do With the Tariff. Mr. Corbett made a slieoch nion it. in which lie objected to the reduction ot duties, lie sjxike of protection to the manufacturer and the laliorer, and defended the policy of di versifying and encouraging home in dustry. He favored tlie reduction of tax ou tea and coflee for tlie reason tliat if tlie duty on those articles is re pealed, tlie tarift on manufactured ar ticles tliat come in competition with our home productions, and home la bor, must be retained. II. M. B. ROWDVIWI AT UEKVAIM. A correspondent at Gervais sends us an account of rowdyism which oo ccuiTed at Gervais during Mrs. Duni way's lecture last Tuesday evening. Tlie letter is too long lor publication, entire. The facts, lmwever, may be briefly stated : It was understood before her lecture began that strong opposition might lie exiiected. Tlie house was full, when Mrs. Duniway arrived. Dr. Magers was nominated and elected chairman of Uie meeting. but when the negative was put tliere were some nays; and a clamor was raised bv a "man named Stevens, supported by some others. Tlie vote w as then again taken, and Dr. Magers was again declared elected. Mrs. iHm iway liegnn her speech, hut in a few minutes a drunken man named Wain interrupted lier. whereupon tliere were cries of "put him out." and some con fusion. He was however oennitted to remain until he had interrupted the speaker several times, wlien an officer undertook to put him out. Wain re sisted and assaulted the offiivr. An other drunken man named Wnrdlow came to Wain's assistance, when a sort of general rush was made, and the two men were put out. Wnrdlow went away quietly, but Wain stayed, and amused himself with swearing and veiling on the outside ot the house. He was finally arrested, and the next morning wis fined W and costs for a disturbance of the oeaee. AMERICAS EPIURAX. KK)U ASI CIIARACTKRISTIC ETTKB ANCF.S OK GREAT AMERICANS.

Grant as j tlie Republican nominee for President, j may be said to liave been already de-j termincd. Grant being a ioitive man, firm, just and hone-t in hi opin ions, and not to be moved from a conine wlien he knows it to lie right, eltlier by his enemies within tlie Re publican party, the friends of the Ku Klux, or tlie British Government's bluster and threat of war on tbe Ala bama claims ; and by tlie way, war being Grant's particular forte, lie has many enemies, as all positive men have. Grant's administration has been a grand success in every repect. The nation cannot afford to lose his services at this time, particularly on account of the present delicate position of tlie Alabama question. The nation, tlie Government and the President, have long since taken a final position, and from it they will not swerve a sin gle Inch, even if the question of peace or war should be involved, and no man iu America would dare advocate a de parture from the American views de termined upon in relation to that trea ty. Therefore it is evident that Grant will be nominated ami re-elected de spite the intrigues of his pretended friends, tlie open opposition of his env inies, and the declared hostility of the British Government to his views on the Treaty. This nation cannot and will not at this time afford to place in tlie Presidential chair an untried man, or one whose fears of a war with Eng land would induce him to give way in sustaining the natlrm on account of such fears. The re-election of Grant is necessary at this time, to sustain the honor of the nation, to diri-et its war operations in case of war, to enifurce jienee, and to uphold the financial credit of the nation.
