THE ASHLAND FRIO AY UArtï Î4, 1879 JANÜA QUITE .4 DIIFERENC9. Innuendoes »gainst members of the investigating committee have been very common and numerous in certain newspapers of the state, but the nearest to any specific charge that we have seen is the at tack which the Salem Mercury makes upon Col. Ross, and it is a boomerang charge, or, to be more precise, one which does damage in but one direction, and that is l ackward. Referring to the prop osition of Maj. Quincey A. Brooks to make a false return of the time of certain military officers, in or der that they might get an unlaw ful increase of pay, the Mercury publishes an order from Gen. Ross to his subordinate to allow extra time to commissioned officers at the closeofthe campaign in which to make’ up and settle their ac counts, and then,stating that Maj. Brooks was acting as Quartermas ter under Gen. Ross, and subject to bis orders, the editor of the Mer cury draws the inference that the proposition was in consequence of »n order from the General himself. We here give the letter of Brooks and the order referred to, that the difference of their character and import may be noted: J acksonville Or., I March 31 1873 D ear G eneral : I I INDEPENDENCE. TIDINGS We clip the following from this week’s Sentinel: ' J I Í Gen. Ross’ order to give the of ficers time in which to settle up the business of their offices is very different from a proposition to make false returns. It will be ob served that Brooks did not say: “I am directed by my commanding officer to allow you ten days ex tra time iu which to close your ac counts and make your returns,” but “I think”and“Brother James” thinks it would be well enough to do this, so that you mav get more pay.

Mr. Hayes missed a great opportunity that he did not skip the dead-wood of Hie Department Reports and urge measures of this bigness upon the attention of Congress. Civil ser vira reform, to secure the atten tion of Congress, must be attached to the vital interests of the coun try. The story of the Oregon frauds iu already quite familiar to the people of the eastern states, and ¿he Philadelphia Times has the fol lowing concerning it: “The Ore gon legislature has been digging into the records of the state de partment, and has developed a condition of things under Grover’s administration which moves it to charge that eminent statesman and would be president-maker with looseness, extravagance and corruption. It appears to be only « trifle ot about $100,000, but out ¿«Oregon they consider that quite enough to make a stir about. The AOHTOWion appointed by the leg islature puts the ex-governor in a light which harmonizes completely with liia Tilden dispatches. The country can now understand why Grover signed his famous Portland dispatches ‘Gobble.’ ” ——--------- France, one of the most pros perous nations on the globe, will need thousands of bushels of wheat to maae up the deficiencies of her harvest, and the United States will, doubtless, reap most of the benefit of this increased demand. Our surplus this year will be un usually large. The present Legislature of the state of New York is occupying the new capitol, on which $9,-500,- 000 have already been expended. Several millions more will be re quired to complete it. The struc ture covers two and a-half acres, and accommodates thirtv-two Senators and one hundred and twenty-eight Assemblymen. The New York Herald compares this huge structure, which it will prove very costly to maintain, with the new capitol in Connecticut, which has cost but $2,500,000, and ac commodates a Legislature more numerous than that of New York.

Four teen hundred miles above its mouth it is as large as the Saurumeutu river at Rio Vista, and it rolls iu the sea with increasing grandeur ai! the way.

A corn apondeut ot the Eugeno City Journal writing under dais of the 31st nit., saya: “While visiting the Coyote hills, I called on Dr. Canaday, he aud his brother John bad just returned from a six hours’ bunt,and for tbeir paiu» they brought with them a thoroughbred lion, buck as waa never seen in thia country before. It ia a huge male beast—16 feet from the eud ot its tail to the tip of i:s uoae, and stands 32^ inches high, aud its mane is 5 incites long. It baa a tutt or bunch ot Lair on tue end of its tail very much re sembling that of tbe African tribe. Al low me to luform you ami your readers that it was uo eliii t’a play to capture tins King of the hilh. The doctor aud Johu bad hunted three hours fur dee? where there should have been pleuty, but could And nothing but tracks that seemed to be running in every diieo- lion; tiually they eame to a jungle and John stepped upon a large lug to sur vey the snrrouuding country, when all' of a sudden tbe lion made a tremen dous bound of about 30 feet, barely missing him, passed on to the doctor, taking awav the entire rear part of his pants and about one-half of bis coat. I assure you for five minutes tbe battle was fierce and wild, aud had it uot been for tbe timely arrival of Char lie Moore aud hie three dogs, would have been decidedly iu tbe lion’s lavur. Immediately «n bis arrival the ductor’s favorite blood bouud caught the lion by tbe throat, while tbe other dogs caught him by tbe legs, side, buck, tail or auy other place that was convenient* While the beast whs thus engaged, Charlie Moore, us quick as thought, thrust a bowie knife through its heart, thus ending one ot the fiercest bat tles ever fought by man aud lion io Oregon. —OF TUI— DRUGS, MEDICINES, HOLI ATHOR<IV<<11BKED LION. As an example of the way some people look at it — people who doubtless have their own good reasons — we clip the following from a communication published in the Salem Statesman: “After all has been said, have not the people of Oregon got the money that has been unwisely and un lawfully paid out ? and who ought to have it but the people of Ore gon, and what is the use of making such a fuss about it?” —-------------------- - J in.

The Hartford Post says: One objection to Mr. Edmunds* Electo ral Bill is that it fixes the Presi dential election on the first Tues day in October. Many of the States have changed their Consti tution so as to have their elections of State officers the same day that all are obliged to vote for Presi dent, and Mr. Edmunds’ change would necessitate two fights within a month—the very thing we have been trying to avoid. The disposition of the times is to have fewer elections, and Constitutions have been shaped to that end. If the Bill passes the work will have to be gone over again. “Allow to all commissioned officer» (except yonrself) ten days additional time, after the disbandment of tbe troops, to enable them to make np and settle tbeir accounts.” A LAVGHIW' HAS’CY.

The S. F. Examiner says: “The burden which weighs most heav ily upon the people of California is excessive taxation. The pres ent year’s assessment is about the same as the average of several which have preceeded it, and the magnitude of the evil may be rea lized, when it is stated from the record, that in five years the taxes levied for state and county pur poses have reached the enormous sum of nearly sixty million dol lars. The population bearing this burden, at a fair estimate, has been 800,000, and as a very small number of persons have been re ceiving salaries or emoluments for public service, it would appear that salaries, perquisites or fees must be very high.” CRDER OF GEN.
