There were present at the meeting quite a num ber,, oi the, aldest settlers ot the Forks; omewba helped to lay tbe first road that was over mad through this country. 3. Q. McDonald and Esquire lUadall stated they helped baUd tbe old Territorial road from Oregon CUy to Spore's ferry, la Lane esuaty. That read crossed the San tiam near what U now knawn as Scio fer ry, theam to Scio, Iiwa, llroww and Spare's Ferry. By the way,: there was no Belo there, then. These remarks were made, to show, tbe commissioners where tba travel i and always baa been through the Santteat Porks.

A vote was taken on Green's and Scio Ferry. Green's Ferry received the aston ishing number of two votes. All the re mainder of the large number in attendance expressed on a rising vote their preference for the Scio Ferry route. By the way the, two who voted for Green's Ferry owneJ quite largely of warehouse stock at Jeffer son.

Success to Bcio bridge. It was said by the groat English states man, Boeke, that succeeding statesmen never adopt the mistakes ef their prsdecoa sots ; and wo consider this illustrated in tbe present outlook of oar own national politics. It is not supposed that Southern statesmen, shoal d tbey obtain control of the government, would attempt (he restor ation of slavery, as that would draw down.apoa them the soma destruction which crushed out their predecessors. Tbey will attempt nothing ot that nature t but there is another source from which may flow great damage to ear government, Southern wai cmims, and Indemnity for oanaamtod property aad for all damages incident to tbe rebellion. The consequent increase of oar national indebtedness by the recognition 'of these Southern war eiaiias, would be appalling ; at least )! 000,000,000 would be added to tbe national debt. It is the policy of the Democratic party to force the payment of these claims npoa our people, and. already action has been taken to effort their recognition. We find the following in the Congressional Record of December the 18th 1875, which conveys Its own meaning ; ; ' ''Mr. Vance, of Kerth Carolina. Intro duced a bill (H. B. Ko. J28) to repeal a joint. resolutiaa of March 1867. and ttit act or February ith, 18C2, prohibiting payment to any person not known to be apposed to the rebellion, which was read a rst and second time. , , Under the Joint resolution at March id. 1867, which Mr. Vance proposes to repeal, the government could entertain no 'South-' ern war claims, directly or indirectly. It is now proposed.: ipnaluthlfc .resolution and increase. aurti(ml 0i W, 000, 000, 000. We do not say that this will be accom- plUhed, but tlie future has its posSnbilhies, and as the Democratic party has already taken the' initial steps in that direction, the people ought to understand tlieir de signs before the campaign of 1876 opens.' Gov. WatkinW Mercury discourses very learnedly on the subject of "deleriurn tremens." It Is according lo the "eternal fitness of things" for the w'-tole corps is aiilicted.

Thh new party. or organization of voter, was made np of aggressive flimawt, Wittr Jfeform as the watchword. Finding the, Government corrupt and tending; to a monarchy through a kind oi aristocracy in the Soothe rn States, this new party had a great work before it. How that work bat been done is a matter of history tor the past twenty yearn. The foul blot of Slavery baa been removed; the people of the whole country hare beta placed on aa equal footing; and a general system of public improvement inaugurated which is ea km la ted to make this tbe greatest government aa the glob The achievement ot the Republic party are without a parallel in our history, and every well wisher ot tree institutions shoald fell into ranks and aid in pushing forward the car of progress. Bad men will get in and do some mischief, as the drone Infests the hive of the busy bee; but, as has been shown In the past tew months, tbe party is determined .on purity, ami will still continue to press measures to tbe one and good governmeut. Toe people are tbe power in popular government and should look carefully af ter all the machinery which results In making public servants. The primaries are the points which govern Connty, State and National Conventions. Republicans everywhere should look after tbe primary conventions and see that the best mon are chosen as representatives, which will in sure the richt kiud of nominations and officers to manage public affairs. With the jrtoal character of Col. Gil- lry. Gov. Watkind, Judge Daly and oth ers, we have not Idng to do; but their peculiar manner of obtaining public funds in tbe name of the Democratic party, is a matter In which our people are interested, and such things the States propone to opes up. It the ol. will refund to the Stam two r tbrto thousand dollars ot e tra pay which Is shewn In the printed re ports of 187 1, we win give him doe credit therefor, if ho. does not do It, we wl'l tee that the Governor's organ shall exempt him from the ju st indignation oi the school children of the State whom he has plundered. - When all of these erring "men and brothers " of the Democratic persuasion, forsake their evil way, they have bur permission to eat brown bread or do any ether thing which does not affect the public Interest. That smooth, smirk ing and at tha same time plundering tbe mostoaered fund of the Bute, will not last -the game is very nearly played oat. Tske due notice thereof and hasten your reformation.

First the ex-Confederate chaps awakoned a genarUdiagaat, by turning but. with' precipitate baste, tbe Union soldier heretofore In tbe employ of the Heme aad filling their placee with ex-rebel soldier. Then tbey created general alarm all over the North by their In temperate utterances in the debate of the asnneety question, raiting the cur tain aa tbey did to give ua a peep at the real programme of tha White Linen. Next they attack the effic iency of the army and DaSry, by prop ositions to reduce the actual force far below tha strength manifestly neces sary for the defence of th frontiers; and then proceed to exit down to a raere bagatelle the appropriation for fortifications aad defence, tbe object being clearly not only to necessitate the withdrawal of 'every soldier from the garrisons of tbe Southern States (to promote the White Line scheme to subjugate the negroes to practical serfdom) but ; to destroy the army itself. Then, under the pretense of economy and ' retrenchment, they bring forward a scheme to reduce tbe clerical force twenty per cent, this blow being an indirect method of reaching their old enemies of the Union army, the' entire force in tbe departments being, in large propor tion, made up of ex-Union soldiers, widowed wives and orphaned daugh ters of men who yielded their lives a sacrifice upon the altar of their coun try, while fighting against the same ex-rebels of the exOmfederate House. Kow they come with a propo sition to restore to the peusiou roils tbe names of all those men who were dropped under the act of 1882, for dis loyalty. The back pay of pensions uuder this proposed bill will alone amount, according to their own esti mates, , to not less than $1,000,0001 You see how It is. While tbey turn out Union soldiers aud ths widows aad orphans of Onion soldiers, under tha pretense ol . eeonomy, saving thereby a lew thousand, they turn into tbe treasury pasture a hungry herd of disloyal men to gobble tha funds by milMona. , , This is a fair sample of the eoeno ny and retrench meat proposed by the Democracy in Congress. They have done au immense amount of boasting what tbey are going to do, but abas far the actual result are not Jane eaeb as a trusting publio (tf the publie were idiotio -enough to trust them) would have a right to expect. In a rash moment -or retrenchment they eut down a number of clerks la tbe House, by tbe magnificent figure 9, and then called upon a confiding pub lic to witness bow their Work went hand in hand with their professions. They did not, however, call apon the public to witness ' tbe fact that some of these same Clerkships were refilled and other new clerkships were created. While cutting- down expen see on this magnificent' scale, tbey have piled tbe tables high with reso lutions calling for investigations and for extraordinary reports from the va rious aepanmeuia. , xnesf . latter, to say nothing or toe extra eosu or tue investigations, wtu . necessitate tns employment of extra clerical force 16 the departments at a cos! far ia ex cess of all that has thus far been saved by .cutting down salaries and discharging clerks.. If to these investigations and extra ordinary reports We add the proposed expenditures to satisfy the mulUdude of claims of all conceivable sorts, al ready put in by the ex-rebels of the Boutb, we cannot full to see that the Democracy are about to make tbe puuiic iuouey iiy preiiy nveiy. Ail ttie money saveu py ail me retrench ment schemes thus far chalked out. will be no more than a drop in the bucket compared with the aggregate amount already proHted to be appro priated lor tun Wjnelit ot bouUieru men xtud ex-rebels. The appropria tions fur Miasiseippl jettieanJ levees, alone, will double or treble all that will oe shaved from the appropria tions for the ordinary .excuses of tbe government. Then the cotton claims will come iu and chums for fabulous values of property deatruyed during the war. The sohetuos for depleting tbe treasury for the benefit of (South ern jobbiesaro already numbered by hundreds on tbe Biiea-kor x itehk and still tbey come; and all the while these ' ' leniocraiic Tetrenchers 'are prating and howling of economy and seeking out opportunities to scale down the already poor pay of Union ex-soldiers and wonieii. Whenever one of these Southern schemes comes up in the House the Democrats talk pathetically alMiut the Centennial year, deprecatingly about the waving of the bloody Htiirt, patriotically about the destiny of an united brotnernooa or rreemen, exult antly about the bridged-over bloody chasm, magnanimously about the r-r j ,.r lien,. ,i s,,c""; " 1"" ;"-', f-V1 ...

The appropriations for sur veys of public lands and for the In dian Bureau will, also, be iiwbruin cant; and thus our ft tale will be crip pled in the settlement of oor wild land and, worse than ail, be made It ble to serious complications with th Indians, you may sorely look for In dian trouble, heoauee the appropria tions win not ue aunicient to carry ont l lie provisions of treaties and w ait know that that will lead to dtocon tent, outbreaks and reprisals ou the part or too Indians. - It is morally carta iu that all the appropriations in wbieh Oregon has a vital interest wilt sutler tn the aai way.

Let Oregon voters remember when tb election days come, that the neglect of ova commercial Interests. Is the de liberate crime of the Democratic ma jority in the, House.
