Says the Hillaboro Argus (dem.) : "If
the vote last spring is indicative of any
thing, it would appear that the people of
Washington county should stand ready
to sanction any move that will mean
political burial of this gross, corrupting
force in Oregon politics Corhettism.
We do not think that any faith would
be broken in scotching this element, ami
if this wholesale purchase goes on and
it will by Corbett and his people, it
would be no political sin for the balance
of the delegation to find a way to ac
complish Corbett's permanent retire
ment." Senator Williamson's bill amending
the scalp bounty law so as to require the
counties to pay one-third of tho boun
ties, and providing that, the proof of tho
killing of coyotes, etc., shall be taken by
the county clerks, passed the senate yes
terday with only a light opposition. The
vote stood IV to 5, with six absent.
When this bill came on for final passage,
Williamson made a brief statement of
the new features proposed by this bill,
luid submitted it without any further
'argument in its favor. Tho only pro

Sai.km, Feb. 7. The house today
passed the Smith bill taxing foreign cor
porations, and Coivig's bill regulatin
disbarment proceedings.
The following bills failed to pass:
Briggs' providing for the reimbursement
of Jackson county for school funds that
were lost by the county bv embezzle
ment; Pearce's bill for the distribution
ot school funds, a measure repealing the
law which disttibutes $50 to each school
district before the per capita distribu
tion is made; Briggs' bill providing re
lief for the supreme court.
In a discussion that lasted one hour
Representative Eddy favored and Rep
resentative Harris opposed a resolution
increasing the appropriation to the Cap
tain Clark sword fund so as to raise the
fund to one thousand dollars. The res
olution passed, and the state's contri
bution to the fund will be $f03, $337
having been already raised by voluntary
contribution.
After a debate of an hour the senate
passed Sweek's bill changing the salary
of the supreme court reporter from $000
annually to $500 per volume, or about
$1500 per year.
The senate also passed Knykcndall's
bill regulating medical practice, making
diplomas of state medical colleges good
for admission to practice in this state.
The vote for senator was the same as
yesterday, excepting that Keene and
Hemenwav were absent.
THE OREGON LEGISLATURE.
Mitchell' Nanm In Flontlng Through
Mm Air ut Salem.
Special Correspondence
The senatorial situation has changed.
It is now assured that a senator is to be
elected within a few days, probably on
next Tuesday. A caucus being held to
night may result in no conclusion on
the subject, but there are others. Fif
teen men who now vote for Senator
Smith, of Baker, are ready to cast their
ballot in favor of John H. Mitchell the
man who just now stands the best
chance of election. .
A hoet of lobbyists are here in the in
terests of their respective candidates,
yet Mitchell, s name seems to be in the
air and many signs seem to point to his
ultimate election. His selection at this
time would be a good lesson to those who
are spending the people's money in an
effort to further their own mteiests, and
might serve as an object lesson to future
aspirants to a seat in the United States
senate from Oregon. There is no doubt
today in regard to this matter. Mem
bers are tiring of the present strained
position, and are willing to give in a few
points so as to have the state fully rep
resented In our national body.
Thirty-six new bills were introduced
today in the house. It is thought that
thia will be the laet large bunch of bills
to be introduced during this session.
Routine work in both houses is being
rushed along, clerks now being required
to work early and late. The system
used this session in providing clerks and
apportioning their work is proving very
satisfactory; so much so, in fact, that it
is improbable that the Kuykendall bill
will soon be repealed or amended.
Sai.km, Or., Feb. 7. The small change
in the vote for United States senator
yesterday was not in line with the ex
pected change. True, it shows the
reetleesness of members and their in
tention to vote difieiently, still it does
not show in any way the candidate to
whom the vote may bo thrown. While
the present feeling exists, it Is certainly
positive that no senator can be elected,
Mitchell claims some forty votes, yet he
lacke a few. There are about sixteen
democrats who are willing to help elect
some good man to fill the place, even
though he might bu a republican ; and
with this feeling on their part there
should bu no trouble in settling this
troublesome problem. Corbett's fol
lowers claim many things for their
candidate, yet it is believed that he can
muster but little mom strength than he
has already shown. McBride has really
his strongest vote now, and it begins to
look like it. it adjournment without an
election. It is said, by a few only, how
ever, thut some Republicans stand ready i
to support Smith, of Baker, unless the ,
republicans soon settle their trouble j
within their own ranks. This might be j
better than to send one of the principal
actors in this political racket to Wash
ington, and would incline aspirants fori
senatorial honors to lie careful about
holding up legislative assemblies in
their own personal interests in the!
future.
