Strang? as it may appear, the original Court of the II. S. did not roteet the ''freedom of speech or of the pros;" but the f ithcs of the Republic, ever watchful of the interest of frco- men, just, one hundred years ayo on the . oth of next bcptembfi proposed the 1 7 ' ' first amendment to the Federal con stitution, which provided for ftvedom Q,. f.u au,j of th(J U . . , rati I icd oy uie requisite numoer or states and therefore this is essential ly thereon tennial year of a fi"e jircss, in this country, protected by law. This benign principle has been en grafted into the con-tit tn ions of the t-ovfM:il t:itps nf this Union. If Votl trammel it with the dictates of politi- cnl rinrs the behests ofinfamous coto- c ries you sap tho ibundation of free institutions and thwart the hopes of freemen; you set society back into the dark aes, when mankind were divided into nomadic tribes and governed by the supreme will of self-constituted barbaric chiefs.

Oregon -s. Maine. 'The facilities which exist in Oregon for raising stock have been mentioned heretofore in connection with the soil and climate. J!ut in order to illustrate these facilities more clearly reference is had to the tatisties of tho (, '.'em inent cont uned in the census repo't, and a comparison drawn between the co-t of raising stock in Oregon, on the northwest cuat, and in Maine, on the northeast eoasl, both States b"ing situ ated in about the came latitude. Miine, a few years a;o produced 1)7, 710 ton; of hay, feeding 80(),14S head of stock, embracing horses, cattle and sheep. Oregon, tho same var, pro duced 2(i,-l-U tons of hay, feeding 257,U2") head of stock. The :iv, rau'e consumption of hay fur each animal in Maiuc was 2107 pound, again-1 107 pounds in Oregon. Estimating the hay to be TT'rt'n Si) per tn, tho cost of wintering an animal in Mairw was S'j.oD cents; in Oregon 59 cent?, a difference of 30 per head. The animals in Maine were worth l5,4o7,".'K, or vl7 84 each. The stock of Oregon was worth S(it272,S92, or $23 49 each, a difference of SR. 15 cents per head; to which add the difference of G for feed, and the result is $12 15 no. value in favor of each head of stock owned in Oregon tint voar, over and above the net vain? of each head own ed in Maine." Agricultural lleport. Editor of the Argonaut. "Tu have a splendid state," said Hon Frank Pixly to an Oregonian representative after his return from The Dalles last night. "1 had read about Oregon, but 1 hail no more idea of its grandeur and magnificence than I have of some distant South American state; L'tn going to bring Stanford, aril some of our capitali-ts up here this summer and let them Fee what they have missed by staying away. We want your state connected with ours by all moans, and S in Francisco culd well afford to issue bonds and build tho 270 miles of railroad and supply the missing link. I'm not gushing. The best evidence of the grevtncs of a state is its food-producing qualities. Whv, you've got enough salmon in the Columbia alone to feed an immenso pop. ulation, to say nothing of the grain produced; and the reliable stories I hear of crops of wheat being r dsed for ten, and fifteen, and twenty, and even thirty successive ye.rs a re simply won derful" Oregonian. Poit Priest's Raimds. Th party which left Port Vancouver on Wed nesday morning of last week for the upper oountry, says the Dalles Moun taineer, included Chief Most; Homily; 1 owlish Wampo, and the others who have been in Wadiington, Indian Agent Oannnyer, Gov. Ferry. Gen. Howard, Livut. C- K. S. Wood, aid dc camp, and the Geueral' orderly. TERMS: 3. PEE YEAR. Gov Peny gies to accompany tho chiefs to the new reservation, and Gen. Howard goes at the request of tho Governor and the department. At Wnllula they will be met by Gen. For Syth with two companies of the 1st cavalry, and will disembark at Priest's Rapids. The Governor's party, accom panied by six companies of cavalry, Geo. Howard, Gon. Forseyth, Captain Green and others, will visit Yakima, Lake Chcllan country, Colville, GVeur d'Alene, returnini; to Walla Walla some six weeks henco. The various Indian tribes will bo visited, and tho country thoroughly explored. Thin is done under orders from the interior department, and should have been done years ago Pad Mail Service. The following item we take from the State Line Her ald: V'e are reliably informed that the U. S. mail has come to a stand still on every portion of Colvrell'a line, and that three or four hundred pounds of mail matter remain stacked up in Linkville. The citizens of this place, however, are having this mail brought through at their own epens. Mr. Steel, the p stal age-it, inform us that the above complaint is justified in every particular, and tint he has notified the authorities at Washington at least twenty times of Co I roll's short comings, Colwell boasts of influential friends at the National Capital who will defend him against all :vss: ult?, W hope that our Senators will give this matter a little attention, for the non fulfillment of a mail contract is a serious offense, and should besumma lily checked The next lowest bidder for that route is j-aid to le an estima ble man; and we hope the authorities- may award hon the. contract. Will Visit Oheuon: In n lew weeks Jay Gould, the railroad king, of Ne.vi York, will risit Oregou What the result will o cannot be foretold, yet in all probability it will hasten the day when the chains which have bound Oregon for thesa many year to California will bo loosed by railroad communication with the East. One line of oars will insure two, as the Northern Pacific will use every exer tion to complete their road, and the Central Pacific will not allow Gould of the Union Pacific to hare the cream of Oregon's trade, but will srart the con struction of a ro.d from Winnemucca through to this city, which is not more than half tho distmce which Gould wdl have to cover in order to reach" this city. Let them come, we are waiting. Standard. India .v Trouules. From Colon"! Long we learn that a number of In dians, with a large band of horses, crossed over the Columbia in the vicin ity of Kockrillo, in this county, and undertook to drive the sheep men off he rauge, giving them to understand hat they wanted the grass for their horses. But as the sheep men, num- )ering some twenty or more, well arm ed, soon congregate.! on the spot, the? fndians soon quieted down and left. We do not wish to advise the people of that section to do anything calculated to gt them into trouble; but we be lieve if they wovld kill about fifty or even a hundred of these insolent, mur dering, Columbia river Indians, they would rest easier in the future. There is nothing like a dead Indian for peace. Mountaineer. The Dalle Mountaiucer says that Messrs. Hamilton & Stewart of Monta na, have purchased of Mr. A. Clarno, of Wasco county, 1000 head of cattle for the sum of 10,000. These gentle men have also purchased their entire outfit of wagons and provisions frow McFrlaud & French, and twelve sad dles and bridle, whips, spurs, wagon covers, etc , from Mr. George (Jorum, They will employ twelve menasdriv- in ill it. tlnairc crs. we are i'iu ;hout twelve html red head more. i t 1
