DEAD ! DEAD!! DEAD!! I
The scheme of the Lock and D:in
swindlers has come to It death- Yes
terday morning, the bill was taken up
in the House and tabled by a decisive
vote. This is the end of it. It cannot
be revR'ed again, in any shatie that
will meet the approbation ct'a major
ity of lioth Houses. The people may
now breathe freely. Tliey are saved
the iniimitous tax of -k0.CW), or any
other sura, to fatten the greedy jwek
ets of the ppecnlators in State fnnds.
Alter all. it was the peojJe thetuselves
who saved themselves this grievous
burthen. They made tlir indignant
voices heard through atvd above the
din raised by the clamoring ring anil
lobby. The representatives, did not
dare to brave the threatening roar of
indignation which they larl swelling
up from all sides ; and a ltandsome
majority olieying the will 4 their con
stituents, put the dead thing away, out
of sight. The people liave occasion to
rejoice. The defeated ring of plun
derers are the only motinitis in all tho
length and breadth ot tlie State.
The New York Tribune of Oct. 9,
the day following the State elections,
fairly rages and froths over the resnlf,
and as usual with defeated candidates,
is profuse with wild and reckless
charges of "fraud," "briber)',"" "bal-lflt-stuHlug."
etc. '-Cheated out of
Penijsyluania 1 " exclaims the white
hat philosopher's deputy. "Frauds iu
Indiana," exclaims he. "Frauds in
Ohio," says the deputy. Greeley seems
to be infatuated with the idea tliat
every honest vote is of 'course, for
Greeley and that the otlier man could
by no possibility receive a vote not a
fraudulent one. But really, the Trib
une is getting to be absolutely disre
putable In the matter of slinging ier
sonal abuse and ridiculously reckless
charges of corruption, right, and left,
like the blind striking of a copperhead
in dojj days.
Mil. .HALlouY.
Yesterday morning when the lock
nml canal bill came up in regular or
der, Mr. Mallory made a brief speech
saying, substantially, as we hear, that
he liad become satisfied that his con
stituents were not iu favor of the pas
sage of the bill iu any shape; and
though it had been his judgment that
the bill ought to pass, be would not
violate the known wishes of hi con
stituents, by voting for it. He there
fore favored the motion, endiiig to
tabic the bill. This carried the bill to
the table Ijeyond the hope or tear of
resurrection. We are glad to know
that Mr. Mallory ha thus placed him
self again iu accord with the Republi
can party and the people of Marion
county.
The Xew York World, in an edito
rial on the result ot the October elec
tions encourages the Greeley ite to
stand firm and not desert the Philof
plicr, in tliec word: "The soldier
who throws away his miisketand takes
to his heels at the first puff of adverse
fortune, lacks that resolute steadiness
which is the first element of manhood.
If, in tlie? varying turns of war, we
happen to lose an important battle, it
is nianly and soldier-like to retreat in
good order, with lines unbroken and
disciplined step, to a position where
the reserves can be brought up and
preparation made for again meeting
the enemy with iinqtialling hearts ami
Indomitable courage." That sounds
very well, ami might Imve had a good
effect ; but tlie World, iu the' same ar
ticle, with more honesty tlian discre
tion, adds : "To be sure, there is left
but a slender chance ot Mr. Greeley's
election," aud admits tliat Democrats
have no longer any hope of success in
the contest. According to the World,
it Is simply a fight of a "forlorn hope"
against overwhelming odd, with the
blankest certainty of disastrous defeat.
TRUTH i'Klin UREF.I.F.Y.
A year ago, to-wit, on the 14th of
October, 1871, the Tribune was moved
to lndiguatidii against the Democratic
party, and, in the course of an article
thereupon, Mr. Greeley said: "The
multitude of Iemocrats who would
rofe for a gorilla, if Tammany Hall
told them to. Is substantially intact."
Tliere is no doubt of this and the truth
of tlie observation and the fact of the
present situation, show that Mr. Gree
ley is a prophet. Tammany Hall has
told tlie Democrats how to vote, ami
tliey "go it blind."
C'AIITOI.BlTI.DlXU DEFEATED.
The matter of appointing Capitol
Commissioners was compromised in
tlie Senate last evening by the adoption
of a resolution offered by Mr. Moo res,
to empower the Governor to appoint.
It was, however, defeated by a skedadle
ol all the Democratic members from the
House, leaving that body without a
quorum and unable to transact any
business. Thin the appropriation for
the capitol cannot be expended till the
next LeliUure sliall make provision
for it.
THE GREED OF PUWF.B. j
Gov, Grover ha made himself, now,
more infamous than ever. Two year j
ngo, he conspired with A. B. Hallock,
Jas. II. Lappcus and others ot Port
land, to disfranchise the people of
t hat city in respect to their local Police
regulations. Men who w ere.clected by
the eople, tilling unexpired terms,
were by that conspiracy legislated out.
of oilice, and Gov. Grover, was ena
bled to occupy the plait; of Chief of
the Police establishment, and to ap
point his own creatures to subordinate
places, it was an outrage which all
men with notions of common decency
then and ever since condemned un
qualifiedly. It was one of the infa
mous measures of 170 which had to
do largely with the loss to the Democ
racy of the State, by nearly a thousand
majority and the city of Portland by
nine hundred the latter, a majority
unprecedented in the history of the
city. That act alone was an infamy,
and an act of usurKit.ion which no in
genuity could excuse aud which no po
litical party could carry.
The . Legislature which lias just ad
journed repealed tin1 odious act by de
cided majorities in each house, lint
the nallock-I.a'ti- ring came here in
force to again, thwart the will of the
people and to keep the grasp of Gro
ver tirtii uhii their throat. What
means they tis to ersuade the Gov
ernor is not known to the world ; per
haps no ulceus or persuasion were
needed. The love of power and pat
ronage is one of G rover's weaknesses.
To him, it was a glorious thing to
throttle the people of an entire city
and hold them at his mercy. Such
power ha more attractions to his vain,
weak mind, than tlie. reiecl of men.
lie vetoed tlie rejiealing bill, aud Port
land still is captive, hound hand and
j foot and helpless, at the feet of Grover
j and the llallock-Lappcu ring. The
4 people of that city have no redress and
no means of escape from uialadmims
'; tration though their hutotnrx might
; eJtact any act ot despotism,
j The reasons which the Governor rcn
tiers for bis veto are a direct and gnss
; iuu!t to the freemen ol Portland, and
j through tiiem to the people ot the
State, to-wit; in substance, that they
ane not capable ot self-government;
I that it would lie dangerous to allow
i the people to elect their own local olli
iers. It is pretended that there are
! had classes of men in Portland who
j iglit to have no voice iu selecting
i tliose who are to administer for them
tiie law. He might as well have said
'! liiat such men ougot not to have the
j riht of trial when accused. Thedoc-
trine that any man not disfranchised
j 1y due process of law, shall not have
i a voice in tlie selection ot his rulers, is
) monstrous, iu a Republic. It is the
) theory of the despot, and the practice
ot u is the practice of thorough-paced
I usurpation. And yet Grover, w ho,
with the art of a demagogue, puts for-
sani tins tneory, aim wuo noius on
with miserly grip to the adventitious
power tler'ived from a corrupt and
ncke.ss legislature, can how l you as
kHidly as any man, against what is
diarg.il as the despotism of the gen
eral,, government when it assumes to
govern renels.
La.-t, though not altogether least, the
Governor insults the people of Port
laud by saying, in substance, that the
poWfr of appointment, of police com
missioners can not be safely ,iwu to
tlie Common Council, snlijeel. lo the

THE I-IXilM-ATrilE.
The Seventh biennial session ot the
Legislature ended at midnight Wed
nesday. It w as almost from the first a
stormy session. It not Only had great
excitements within, but it created
great excitements without. At vari
ous times it bad before it a greater
number ot obnoxious and unwise
measures, than any Legislative As
sembly we remember, that of lsYt)
alone excepted, lint a dispassionate
review of the measures accomplished,
will satisfy the public mindthat, after
all but very little was done that will
not stand the test of criticism. There
has been much talk of 'corrupting in
fluences." both in tlie Assembly and
among the people on the outside. We
believe that very much ot this talk has
l)een entirely irresonsible and reck
less ; that, in fact, very few measures
have been either accomplished or de
feated except by the operation of cor
rect motives, obedience to the known
will ol constituencies, or such combi
nations among the friends or enemies
of particular measures as are always
practiced in Legislative bodies, and
are considered legitimate. It often
happens, that measure stand or fall
tiiioiih connection with oilier meas
ures; and this course ot things can
never lie changed till the natures of
men shall be entirely changed. There
litis been as much of this sort of "log
rolling"' in this legislature as in
olhersaud perhaps no more. The im
mense lobby that has attended through
the entire session, may have done
much by unauthorized anil irresponsi
ble utterances to spread the impression
abroad that the Legislature has done
immense inischiel by deeds of commis
sion and onii-.-ioii ; but we believe
that, as the smoke clears up from the
battlefield and the re-u!l are ascer
tained, it will be found that very
many jood acts aud very few bad
ones have been passfil. The bad
ones are certainly of a minor charac
ter, and iu no sense more obnoxious
than the average of Oregon State Leg
islation. We all know that a number
of bills w hose operation would have
been extremely hurtful, according t
the judgment of what seems a large,
majority of l he eople, were defeated.
It is equally true thut other measures
of a meritorious character were de
tented ; hut the wrong done iu this
way. if wrong has been done, is of a
negative character, and which may lie
hereafter rectified.- It is better to
leave two good acts undone than to
jK'rietitite one that is essentially laid ;
for the latter may be impossible ot cor
rection, while the good to flow from
I the other i only deferred. In onr
opinion the Legislature did very nearly
all that could be desired ot it. and verv
little that will be regretted In re
viewing its work, let u not fall info
the mistake of pronouncing judgment j
upon the aggregate body by the opin
ions we may have of individual con
duct, or of attempts which ended iu
lailure, or of the doing and sayings of
the lobby. What is actually done i

TIIE JttIXT t'OXVEX
IIOX. Our city reader were informed yes
terday morning ot the failure of the
Legislature to elect or provide for the
apfHiintmcut ot Capitol Commisiou-
l ers. 1 he failure is attributable ihrect
I Iv to the action of the Democratic mem-
Ihts of the Houe, who. with one or
two exception, were absent from the
Wednesday evening session. Several
of the members had obtained leave of
absence or were sick, so that when the
Ih'inocnits iu a body absented them
selves, there was no quorum left, ami
no business could be transacted. The
Scrgt.-at-aj-m was sent a tier the ab
sentees, but they could not lie found.
They were carefully hid away. It i
said that their principal object in
breaking up the quorum was to defeat
the election of Capitol Commissioners,
though they had other secondary o!
jects in view. It w as a Democratic;
scheme to prevent the present erection
of a Capitol at Salem, and we have
heard it said that the. maneuver was
advised and abetted by a number of
men in Salem, standing high in the
Democratic party. We do not kuim
how much of truth there is in thi.
The defeat of the Capitol building,
though unfortunate in manv respect
to the people of the entire State, and of
Salem in particular, is, not by any
means all the harm that was done by
the Democratic skedaddle, Wednesday
night. There should have been elect
ed a Superintendent of Public Instruc
tion, Pilot Commissioners, State Li
brarian. Clerk r the Supreme Court,
etc. The need ot our educational
system demaiided.strongly, the elect ion
of a State Superintendent. The etty
spite (political mostly) of a few men to
ward Salem i the only reason they
have to oiler to the people of this Statu
for doing a serious wrong to our edu
cational interest. The present incum
bents of the old offices are Democrats
elected by the last Legislature or ap
pointed by the Governor. Tlie refusal
to go into joint convention was prima
rily based uKu the desire to keep those
men iu office another two year, and
we must believe that the joint conven
tion was opiosed by Democrat partly
because the new offices might be filled
by Kepulilieaiis. The failure to elect
Pilot Commissioner was a triumph of
the pilots against the commerce of the
State. The committees of both Houses
of tlie Legislature had reported that
the managers ol the tug-boat Atoria
were not doing their duty as required
bylaw, and it is matter ot notoriety
that the Pilot Commissioner now serv
ing are not doing theirs. The com
merce ot the Columbia river is thus left
at the mercy of mercenary men for an
other two years. Whenever a vessel shall
lie lost, and consignees loe their prop
erty, let thee men who defeated the
joint convention answer to tjieir own
consciences tor it, if they can.
Besides all thi, there were many
meritorious hills lost in consequence ot
crippled condition of the House Vedne
day evening. There were measures
pending in the House, matured by the
Senate, affecting the material interests
of many portions of the State. Some
ot the skedaddling mcmtier may liavo
to answer, to tlieir constituent." for the.
loss of measures hi which they had a
deep local interest. The breaking tip
of the quorum wa most unfortunate,
and in even- wav inexcusable.

Xew Yohk, Oct. 22. To-day a
special dispatch from Loudon says that
the yy-riUen judgment in tlie Sau Juan
arbitration only now wants the signa
ture of the Emperor. It decides hi fa
vor of tlie United States, of making
the Canal De Haro the boundary. Tlie
caue of delay iu communicating
judgment is that an English diplomat
ic intrigue is on foot, the object of
which is to so modify the Emperor's
judgment as to cause tlie arbitration to
become a failure. Odo KusselL En
glish Minister at Berlin, therefore
strives to prevent tlie Emix-ror acting
on tlie judgment, aud U endeavoring
to raise a false issue. Tlie article iu
tlie l imes, of Oct. 18th, was Inspired
by tlie Foreign Otilce. and presents the
view of tlie Government. It argues
that tlie Emperor may decide Uf-ou
any one of the three channels and
falsify tlie words of tlie treaty. Judg
ment is required on two specified
points. SiMtild Kussell fail to get a
declaration favoring the intermediate
channel tor the boundary, he is to la
bor for a negative judgment ; tliat Is,
that udtlier the Dellaro nor the Kosa
rio is the channel described iu tlie
treaty. Thus the arbitration will fail,
like that submitted previously to tlie
ivuig r Acineriantis. yvno, instead oi
giving a definite deciiou, recommends
a compromise. 1 he ellorfK of Princess
V ictoria, w ife of the Croyvn Prince,
liave been enlisted by tliose engaged
in tlie intrigue. Bleebe Uober. a Jew
bunker, n intimate, associate ot Bis

British Consid General at Berlin.

This was the ant icipntion. Now
inark the reality, litickalew's twenty
live thousand i clean gone to the .Re
publican. The Uhio (Germans have
very generally gone fortiraut. and the
Beputiiicau have withi'i one thous,iiul
of their majority iu lsiw. In Indiana
we have a majority of LStio on the
Congressional ticket ; a majority on
men. being a gain of three, one of
them iu Voorhee district ; and the
Slate i as sure lor Grant in Xovem-Is-ras
Massachusetts. The coalition
ists apis-ar to have won by fraud a
majority of some six hundred for Hen
dricks, and even this is to ! contested.
If they aw pleased to rejoice over thi.
it is liec-insc. they have nothing else to
rejoice over, ami it would lie a pity to
deprive fbein of thi very insignificant
crumb of com tort.
Meantime, we are learning every
day what we escaped by crn-hitig the
coalition thu promptly. Ejeciallv
are we learning what cla Mr. Gree
ley wa and i proclaiming hi inten
tion lo conciliate. The occurrences iu
Georgia smw plainly enough what we
might have expected" had Greeley ami
his friends got possession of the Gov
ernment. We should have hail noth
ing le than an overturning of the re
sult of the war, as far a tlie emanci
pated tact- are concerned. Arbitrary,
violent and universal practical discu
franchiseuient of the negroes would
have been sure to come.
"HARD WORK."
Notwithstanding the resnlU of tho
elections of the Sth, Greeley says, or
Instructs some one to say lor him. that
he i not at all disheartened. He ad
mit that, bad the reults lieen differ
ent in Pennsylvania and Ohio, his ma
jorities would have been more emphat
ic next month, but he does not assume
to doubt that he will cany the two
States mentioned, and as many more
as may lie required to elect him. To
demonstrate tlie faith that is in him,
lie figures out by States a Hear major
ity for himelf. Hi vanity alid self
esteem are altolntely boundles.
"Why, bless you. my friends" says
the venerable egotist, -"the elections m
Pennsylvania and Ohio signify notli

object wa merely to aroo-- my frieud-i

This was a mistake tliat will
lie rectified next mouth. .Look at tlie
result in Georgia, and be assured that
defeat is impossible." Greelev's wily
regret over tlie elections of Tuesday
seems to be the additional work tliat
has been imposed upon Ids friends In
consequence. But work is all that l
required to carry him triumphantly
through. "What! defeat met" ex
claims the sublime old humbug, as
StBte alter State repudiates him.

Xew Yokk, Oct. IS. The Xation

sion, adopted the resolution reported
bv the committee on tlie subject of re-
ciptouity with Canada. McGovem, of
the Canada delegation, expressed his
conviction that the action ol the Hoard
on tlie subject would lie beneficial to
both countries. The Board next dis
cussed several resolutions, one on ship
building; one by the liostmi Board
asking Congress to pivvent tlie exac
tion ol fees or taxes on shipping by
State or municipal law ; one from tlie
Philadelphia Hoard a-kiug for acoouuL

The debate was very unlm.ittsl, Penn

and New York earnestly oposlng tlie
subsidies, and iWlaring tliat what was
needed was the ineaii of cheap trans

Arm ux, X. Y., Oct. 10. Mr. Sew
! ard having taken cold and been some
; w bat ailing for a day or tyvo, was, on
v he evening of Saturday, the 5th,
j seized with a severe chill, and hi phy
'i Mt ian, Is. Theodore Dimon, was suin
i tiioueii lo him. He had been, during

anus, and had lieen engaged in pre
. parhig for the press his account of his
recent jairney around the yvorld. Tlie
chili was that of ordinary tertian ague
aectMn-auicd hy a harraing catarrhal
, cough. It was followed by fever and
delii-iuta. which lasted till late in the
1 nigfit. On Sunday he was up iu the
i alUTiioon. took bis dinner, aud passed
a mmfortahle i right Sunday night.
Oa MoiKlay. wiiii the exception of bis

anil ttkftu J as Usual to his assistants
iu the ctinipletioi! ot his book. He
playt d whist Monday evening, but at
10 p. M. a slight chill otvurredfollowed
ly a tleiiriniii and fever, with aggra
vatcd catarrhal disturbance of the
cliest. which lasted nearlv all night.
i his -taysk-iaii s-eiug him on this ae
j ttmnt after midnight. Tuesday morn
! iug. after some sleep, he was again
i better, ami drove out in the afternoon.
! but fever, deli rum and restlessness re-
turned yvith the cough Tuesday night.
, On Wednesday he drove out for two
1 hour, and dictated to hi amanuensis
a ti-tial. though harrassed all day yvith
i cough and catarrhal fliiiou in the
, cliest. WediH'lay evening hi cough
j abatetl for a while, anil there seemeil a
j prnmi: of a good night, but the fever.
retleiies aud cough returned at bed
time. He was nearly sleepless till 3
o'clock in tlie morning. At 4 A. M.,
to relieve tlie tedium of lyingsleeplcs.
be had hi son read the New Vorkj
Time to him, of Wednesday morning.
He slept after 5 pretty well till 11a.
ji. of to-day. tlaaigh his fever kept up
without any real remission. At 1 1
o'clock be wa seized yvith great tlilli-
j ctiltr of breathing, caused by a sudden
j catarrlial efl'usion into the lungs, eom
i tnencing with tlie right lung and soon
j involving tlie left, also, yvhich ocea
j sinned hi death in about two hours.
j He entertained no apprehension but
! that he should recover from the attack
of catarrhal ague, till Iat night and
' this morning, while at hi age. and
w ith the condition of muscular palsy,
from which he has suffered so
long, the fact that the fever
was increasing upon him. together
with the catarrhal disturbance, led his
physician to apprehend a fatal result
iu the course of a week or so. Yet no
immediate fear yvas felt, and his dis
solution was sudden and unexpected.
Mr. Seyvard's Intellectual faculties
were clear and vigorous to the last, ex
cept, wla-n distnrlied by the paroxysms
of fever. Jnt after the effusion fiom
the lung to-day, and thinking it would
relieve hi breathing, he was. at his
own desire, placed tqioii a lounge and
bolstered up, and moved from his ad
joining U-d-room Into his study, where,
iu'the mk1t of his books and his lit
erary and other papers, and surround
ed by his relatives and a few frieuds.
and all his devoted dependents, he
breathed his lat. For the last hour of
hi life, as the jwyvers of nature were
giving way, bis condition became easy,
and lie spent tlie time iu affectionate
leave-taking of his relatives- and
tleH'.iitIents. and finally sank quietly
to his last rest as if going to sleep.

His sympathies are as broad as his

All tlie roads in creation meet at my

Beecher stands before tlie world as a
demonstration of the advantage of a

4JRAST.OR WREFJLEY.
Ths t'ondart of Ueweral Urant ton- -traated
with Urccley. ... ,
Extract from a -recent Ipeeeh of Cbarlea
Francis Adams, Jr.
And let me furtlter say. that I, in ,
common with a vast multitude of
otliers, have had my admiration and
sympathy deeply excited by tlie grand
silence yvith which tlie Presideut ha
undergone the vile torrent of contra
dictorv calumny yvhich has so persist
ently been poured forth against him.'
General Grant cannot at once be both
tlie wretched imbecile and the cunning
usurper he Is so commonly descrilieu ;
hy the same lips and I can assure
those now so Indiscreetly assailing him
that they are guilty of a grave error of
judgment If .they fondly believe that
the men who stood by film while lead
w a In the air will be driven from his
side by the hurling of hard tvords.
Nevertheless I could not but feel,
two years since, as I still do feel, that
my old General did not comprehend,
or yvas op-oed to, what yverc the car
dinal principles of my political faith.
We cannot live forever oti tlie dry
husks of tlie anti-slavery agitation, or
u I Kin tlie animosities of tlie late war.
Tha Nortliern heart will not much
longer lie fired up by appeals to the
"boy iu blue," any more tlian by
reminiscence of bard drier or encomi
ums of white, hats. That long battle
Is over ; th:lt ls9te deeded beyond '
pentd venture or reversal. Whichever
party i successful this year the vile
scandal known as "carpet-bagism" is
doomed, and tlie Slates lately in re
bellion are sure at List of being left to
themselves. The only contingency, so
far as lean lbrecast the future, which
can endanjfer this much to be desired
result, would be the election ot Mr.
Greeley. That might posaibly, by in
viting neyv disturbances, reopen tlie
wliole question. In such an event Mr.
Greelej i, judging by his own utter
ances iu the past iu relation to the jus
tice and propriety ot secession and
force bills scarcely the man I should
care to see intrusted with the delicate
duty of re-adjustment. I was one of,
those yvho met our Southern brethren
on a iiuiiiImt of hard-fought fields.
Seven '-ears ago. when General Grant
paroled Lee's army, I "clas-ped hands
across the bloody chasm," aud irom
that day to thi have entertained only 1
the kindest feelings toward my old en- 1
emies. I really can't, at this late day.
see the necessity for any more tears or
hysterics. Tlie question of rvcotistnav
tion is now practically decided, and its
gross abuses which iu my place I have
not hesitated to denounce, are at last
repudiated ot ail men. The Southern
Stares now need, above all things to be
carefully let alone; but Mr. Greeley
and his supporters insist on dkw aj-l-tatiou.
' In this miserable work I. for
one. will not abet tliem. I am. in
deed, opposed to them upon thb issne
more than ti-ou any other, and. a a
friend and well yvlher of the Sooth,
earnestly hoping to see it work out it
own salvation quietly and peaceably, I
feel I could not too strongly depm-ato
the substitution at this time of Mr.
Greeley for Genera Grant, in the Pres
idential chair. It would be chaos cotue
again, which Heaven forbid. .
TRAXSItlR TATIO MICE.
iFrom the Bulletin of Oct. 24th.
To make good its declaration that it
purposes to prosecute a crusade against
the Kailruad interests of Oregon, the
Oregonian recklessly asserts anything
aud everything which it thinks will
serve that purpose. We have else
where proven w herein it went broad
of the truth iu regard to the prices of
wheat iu Xew York, and we shall
here xliow how wide a berth it has
given the truth in some otlier of its
statements and assertions. It asserted
the other day that the eliarges for
freight on tlie Oregon railroads were -"six
hundred per cent, over Eastern
tarifis." To prove the monstrous
falsehood the Oregonian uttered in
tliat. we copy below a statement which
has been prepared from official sources
by Mr. K. P. Kogers, Superintendent
of Freight and Passenger transporta
tion of the Oregon and California Kail
road, who had many years experience
in railroading in the States eastward :
Bales of freight charged per ton as follows.
Average lie." ton eurreiioy :
Chicago and Xorthwes'tern railroad'
(Iowa ami Illinois; $ 9 60
Chicago, Ktvk Island and Pacific rai'-
niad (Iowa and Illinois! 10 00
Illinois Central railroad Jlliuois) 10 K0
I'nion Pacllle railroad 10 80
Bui-linirlon aiul Missouri River railroad
J.maj 11 00
IH-s Moines Valley railroad (Iowa) 11 00
Kansas I'll y, Council Blurts and St. Joe
ltailroaii flowa and Missouri) 1100
Haiiullial aud St. Joseph railroad (Mis
souri! 10 40
Oregon and Callfornlna railroad (Ore-
gron) (gold) 10 (50
Calilorniii railroads from JM ,Vi to 10 t
Per Ton.
Average of the Iowa roads 10 40
Average of tlie Missouri roads. 11 UO
These rates are made up on a dis
tance of 100- miles In otlier States
drayage is charged to and from the
depots of the mi I roads, while here in
Oregon no drayage is charged. Freight
is delivered to and from depots at East
Portland free, w hich makes our rates
at least from 75c to f 1 tier ton less than
those of the above roads.
Here's hoyy the Grass Valley''lnion'
Dein-Lib. account for it: "Some
of our friends have been trying to ac
count for the singular way iu yvhich
I he elections in Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Indiana and other places have gone.
Some say that all the rings and niotiop
list combined anil others said
there was lraud. We have con-
lutled tliat there are too mai'V
Bepublicans this year. Owing
to the great number of that kind of
voters tliey got too tiiauy tickets into
the ballot boxes, and then proceeded
to count out those ticket and thereby
they counted out the Democratic can
didates. It was wrong and is wrong,
but there are too many Republicans at
this time of vear."
The lew mistakes thallirant has made
Are but of small a.xouni;
"While on the credit stile am y jd
We iind a large amount;
Plenty at home, with peace abroad,
Prospe.ilty not scant
A steady lightening of the load.
And so 1 go for I 'rant !
