Curry, one ot Oregon's Pioneers, called on us yesterday. He is a gentleman of more than ordinary legal ability, anil is railed In Katero Oregon.the "lioiiest lawyer."' We regret to learn that the Col., with 111 family, is now on his way to Santiago, California, where he ex pects take up a remanent residence. We wish them a sate journey and success in their tHturc horn?. The "organ" of Mr. Coggan, the horse racer at LaGimtde, called "Sentinel," re mains as fl it, stale ami unprofitable a ever. That thriving little town should have a paper which would convey the local news matter to the outside world. While Mr. Coggan vs stock la good, other Items ot Interest in Kateni Oregon lion!il be no ticed, but the boy owned by Mr. C. cannot discern anything beyond that noted race hoi s;. WHY TOltHHB. A lady who lias been reading the moral and religions articles in the statehan tor some time past and does not fully under stand some of the theological propositions discussed, encloses two stanzas ot poetry, which we append. .The first three words f the first st.inz. delighted lis. and we in tuitively said, "of course we will," hr.t the last stanza "let us out." -Read tl e poem : "Let me kiss yon fur yoor mother," Said a swell, too free of speech. To an nnprottcttsl maid u, Whom be met upon tha beach. Let me thrash yon for your father," Was the maiden's quick reply. As. with ready sun umbrella, blie chastised bin, hip and thigh. "PnUTH'AL fKKKDW." A correspondent In Southern Oregon sends us the following for publication. He gets into rather "deep water," for ordina ry thinkers, but the article is rather iutei esting. Read it : The council of Nice did not settle tor all time the Arian controversy: the council ot Laodieta the exact number, beyond doubt, of the canonical scripture ; nor did the national conventions ot ISjO and the com promise., legislation ofih.it period settle the slavety question. All questions within the realiii of experimental science are "open questions." Repreresentative bod ies attempt to tormnlare. from time to time, in articles ot religion? faith, politi cal platforms, or general law, the pop ular idea in their .respective departments of thought, but counseling the precedents of the barbarous past, as authorities. They always tail to reach the starts t men id" advanced minds who will think. write, talk, agitate, until silenced ly recognition. An Ecu menical Council may decide nltranion-ttin'i-m but the facts as to iiifatibility re main and the Catholic world still divided. No power can suppress thought, aggita tion and consequent progress. In our brief experiment ot popular government, some Questions have been !ev-ided by vote. some by the sword, now finally, only ulti inato truth is a finality. liilike.eclesiasti Cil councils, which' assume to decide questions tor all time, our political con ventions enunciate creed good tor but one canvass, and change with the evolution of ideas or with popular wants and leave an open field for discussion. Thanks to a free government. Onr cir cumstances and necessities, as a nation, have developed finance, a the great ques tion of the present and tuture. compared with which, every other pale Into itisio; nilieanee. Eolh political parties seem to be about equally divided on this question. Xext year the respective ecumenical coun " oils will affirm the infalabilify of Grant, Pendleton hiid Phillips on this question, and be marked centennial milestones on our pilgrimage toward a jut and true government. Leaving out the vote-catching tricks of platform makers these peri odical confessions ot political trith are Imt Indications ot the progress we are making in governmental science. We may a-k each other after a careful retrospective view of the present and on the threshold ot the future. How fur have we traveled towanl the ideal Republic of the creat souls who have illuminated history for the centnry ot our natio il exi-teiice? If men loved their country a- tln-y do their respective parties or selfish interest, they would investigate the subject nt finance with the hone-ty and zeal of a scientist, regardless of interested leaders party tnitnels or historical dogma. A w'roi.g financial policy is more lar-n selling, in -i-ver-al ami disastrous in its tnnsHneM Uian open arnnil rebellion ami civil war. which we coulii unite to siippies. l'.ut who can foresee and avert the insidious a -ptoaclies- of financial consumption!- Let ali st ud v finance. J. C IRItH WASHIM!!! Tt BHIIOHy. Cot fax, W, T., Nov. 5th. Kiutou Statesman. After a long de lay I proceed to communicate a few Pa lone Items, and as hervtoforo am con strained to give a glowing account of Its prosperity. The bn-y season of harvest is now over. In a lew instances threshing was delayed on account of a prolonged spell ot rainy weather. The tanners In this vicinity se.-m well p! a-ed with the yield of wheat, Olts and tlax, and the vegetable ero is all that could lie expected in any country. All are very buV preparing for winter, and remembering the sad experiences ot the past, hive judiciously prepared a suf ficient amount of teed tor sdock ot ail kind-.. - The weather record tor the past season will compare favorably wiih that of any of tlie delightful countries on our coast. With the exception ot the psst two week we have had one of the most enjoyable sea seasons as fr as the natural virtues of the country ar concerned, that I have ever exi rleiiced. As the days of "Old Alt itun"" recede changes occur which we could scarce but expeet. So we need not lie sur prised that those pleasant autumn days we so much enjoyed should be replaced by t!titeriitg storms succeeded by frosty nights. Well mav the schoolboy grind ills rusted skates, and the romantlst put the sleigh so long idle in good repair, for the. sou sink eth tar toward the southern hills and tnaketh the shadows long. The wild geee whose d. light it ha been to skim the placid waters of the Palouse. have seen fit to repair to the genial skies of a more southern clime. As winter approaches Colfax put on her liveliest appearance. Schoolboys and girls or alt grades and ages enu be seen play ng on esery coruer dur ing the. nooning. Three schools are now in full force here, under the supervision of the following per sons, viz : No. pupils Pist. school. J. C. Cash, teacher 85 Private achool, 0. L. Wolford, teacher. . 30 Private school, J. E. EJmiston teacher. . 30 From present appearance they all bid fair to meet with deserving success. Colfax i steadily grow ing. Ih'e popula tion somewhat exoeding one hundred. M.-iny families would move to town but t scarcity of houses. A l.ras liand nnt'e the laadership of Pn'f. P. I. Bunnell, make music such a one like to hear. 1V ;des there are two organs and one p au here, hich add much in the way of mu sical entertainment. Although remotely situated, tlie inhabitant, of his backwoods village enjoy lif.- to the greatest K-sible extent. The privilege of winter sports such as skating, etc., are much greater ln; than in the Willamette Valluy. A lake 100 feet wide within 30 steps of Main street and extending the whole length of town, atT.M-ds one of the finest skating privileges immn&itiahle. We also enjoy good sleigh ing for at least three months in the year. The different branch-:, of bii-iness carried on here are briefly a follow: Two varie ty store. reiectiviiy J. Evtart, anil W. U. lMvvnrnntrwi-dMj aret -bewftoTe, Stiiith and King; one hotel. Jus. I.wart; one saddle shop, L. T. Hragg; shoe sliop. O. Bordean; one carpenter shop, S. I). Woodard: two blacksmith shop, resp-ct- ively .la. Kelidly and W. Wisner; one feeil-stable. King & Baker; one meat market. E. M. Dawning; one grist-mill, J. C. Davenport; one steam sawmill. Beach Co. Tlie moral aspect ot Colfax i something that must not be overlooked. But one case ot drunkenness has a yet been known in the village, although the inducement to carry on the liquor business in this place would be sufficient to justify tlie euter-pri-e. vet no man is willing to sacrifice the rel-ct of hi fellow citizens in return for such self degradation. May sueh spirit ever abide. Mokk Anon. LATEST FROW THE PACIFIC The Paclflc Sunk by Collision with the Orpheus. The Orpheus n Total Wreek. The Crew ot the Orpheus Found cn an lsh'.ml. roiT Towkskku. Nov. 12 The rev enue cutter Oliver Wnlcott returned 10 this place at 9-45 o'clock this morning. She brought Neil O'llai leu qiiai termast. r of the Pacific but no other survivor, nor any trace ot an) other. They buried at Neah Uay the tmdy of Robert dones, one of the umler steward. The cutler experienced very severe weather; In fact a gale has been blowing ever since 12 o'clock the night of the wreck. The coast south of Cape Flattery was searched tor twenty miles by the aid ot In dian canoes at Neah Bay, Barclay Sound thirty-five miles north of Vancouver Island, was searched by the cutter, and on Copper 1-laud ihey found Cap tain Sawyer, of the Bo-ton ship Orpin ns with hi crew encamped u ihebeuh. The Orpheii was the ship with which the Steamship Pacific collided. She was struck abaft the lire chains and all her starboard gear carried away. She lay hove to until Fridty afternoon, repairing d .images, and then made tor the land, and mistaking the light on Cape Beale for Tatoosh. the ship ran ashore about 0 o'clock Saturday mowing- She will prove a total loss. Captain Sawyer, his wife ami twenty-one aien were brought here by Lieutenant Sherwood, command ing tlie Wolcott. The first mate of the Orpheus was left by the ship until the owners can be heard from. The search has been prosecuted wifh en ergy and thoroughlv iu the face of the ex tremely bad weather and high winds and there Is but little hope that any more lives will be saved, unless possibly some may have been picked up by pasing veels and carried to other orts.

At titanit the same time the steamer Telfair started ill her sea cll to the southward. Hilling the passage along the Vancouver soore all the Indians. seen were coiiinimd c.ited with, bur further than the tact that some light timbers deck buckets and box es had been tbiind, nothing was ascer tained.

A Portljnd exchange has the folloning item: The four bays recently senteaced to the Pen. tentiary from this county have been el nly in stalled, at their own request, in the boot and shoe department of that institution, and they bare set to work with commendable zeal to learn the business. Some of them had a passing ac quaintance with Mr. E. G.
