JAN. 11. 180" Notice of Sheriff's Sale. It is thought a vote on the funding "bill, re-arranging the debt of the Pa cific roads to the government, will be reached today. The Oregonian yes terday defends the bill and accuses Californians of wanting the govern ment to foreclose the hen, and then to operate the road J for the benefit cf California, and so build up San -Francisco at the expense of the bal "sinee of the eoasti We have followed the bill through all Us stages, have rcau the argu ments made in congress, as well as the editorials of California's leading papers, and we have been unable to discover any such ulterior put pose as the Oregonian suggests. California, it is true, has been cinched by the Pacific roads as 'no country on the earth was ever cinched before. Railroad rates have been made, net on the basis of what the service was worth, but on that of how much the product would stand. The ques tion at bar is not what effect this or that action by the government will have on California, but is simply one of collecting its debt from a treach erous and thieving debtor its business transactions jobber corporations, the strong following safely into the Iie- I publican fold. We detract nothing from the earnest labois of otheis when we sa' that without the ener getic action of Senator Mitchell, without the aid of his strong per sonal following, Oregon today would be what the Oregonian calls a dis honored state. And yet that par or dares to question his Republicanism. Out of Luck. Owen Ferguson, clerk of Fonil iln Lac county, Wisconsin, shot himself Satur day niuht, each time a little too high to strike the heart. Ferguson is decidedly unlucky. About a year ago his wife died, at the lust election he was de feated, and a few months ago lie broke his leg, being a cripple before .hat. It is reported that ho is also short in iiis accounts, and lie is still alive and will recover. lly virtue of mi oxccutlon mul order of sale duly tsucd by the Clerk of the Circuit Court of the County of Wnseo mid Statu of Oregon, dated Hie Ttli ilny of Jimunry, 1807, In ii certain notion In the Justice I'dire court for mill county nittl suite wherein Krlck Nelson ns pltilutltl'rccov cred judgment mtnlust Alexander Watt tor the sum of JiVsCO and costs and disbursements taxed at Sin. on the 17th day of October, ISOfi.

Mhiiiiic on ; of settling with these Union and Central Pacific; ot ceasing to fur ther do business with them, and to further bask them up in their rob bery of the (people. It is not ex pected that the government will operate the roads, but it is expected that it will get as much of the money owing it as possible out of them, and quit them dead cold. The United States cannot afford to be an accessory to the robbery of the people; it cannot afford to put up the people's moiiej in the hands of Collis P. Huntington and his sssoci ates to aid in the enrichment of the latter and the impoverishment of the former. Under the arrangement proposed by the roads, they will owe "the government, or the government will have to pay for them, one billion of dollars, an amount equal to' the present national debt. The funding bill will, if passed, saddle this debt j upon the county, an.l yet congress wrangles over it, and newspapers, j jealous of California, and sonic in-j fluenced perhaps by more tangible ( reasons, advocate its passage. The secretary of the interior says the j liens can be foreclosed and all, or nearly all, the money due the gov eminent collected. If this be true, , why extend the time of payment one , hundred years practically without in-, terest. Collis P. Huntington savs he wants 4;a breathing spoil" in order to get read' to pay. He wants one hun dred years, in the meanwhile the roads demand cash for ferrying the people's products over the railroad built with the people's money.
