"Republics have often been charged with ingratitude.' Those. to whom they owe their existence and the continuance of life are too frequently forgotten. This may; be owing in 'part to political animosities. In our own history a3 a Republic, it is with out doub. owing in a great measure to tl3 rapid changes which are taking place in our condition. We are in fact making history very fast. More grand events have Ijoen crowded info the short space of our national life, than ever took place in any equal period since the firc-t century of the Christian era. The consequence is, the past is soon forgotten. The nation lives in the future.' New men are continually coining forward and taking their places as leaders in some gveat movement. The at tention of the people is concentrated upon them for the time. But these soon ac complish their work and give place for others. The work accomplished by these men in the promotion of our civil, com mercial, and educational interests, is held in grateful remembrance, but it is ex ceedingly difficult to create such an en thusiasm in their favor, as to cause a con tinual public recognition of their services either by the erection of public monu ments, or the observance of national holi days. Is it not true that nations erect monuments to the heroes of the past, when the present ceases to create them. During ;thc past few years there has been a rapid -succession of claimants for heroic honors, and whilst we are passing through the developmental stages of our life, men are continually rising to the highest positions and claiming these honors by that inalien able right which accrues to ihem through honest effort. We hope the time will never come when we shall cease to pro duce men worthy the highest honors of the nation. If so that moment will mark the beginning of our national decline. 1'or this reason, we should, in some way commemorate the virtues and the valor of our great men, while their deeds are fresh in our memories. , It ia for the reason above considered more than any other that the people have thus far failed to erect a suitable monu ment, to commemorate the services of our martyred President. It is true a little hris been accomplished in this direction. Institutions of iearniag have been erected bearinjc his name, but these are only of local interest. Some towns, and streets, and a great many possible Presidents in embryo, have been christened Lixculx. but all those are only of local interest or fami ly pride- They are the out-croppings of a deep feeling of love and reverence for itho man, which pervades the heart of the nation, and which ought to secure the erection of a national monument as "the spontaneous expression of -this feeling. Many lesser heroes in town and city, have been honored, in the erection of memorial halls, ornamented tablets, or granite obelisks, but no fitting testimonial has yet been established in memory of him who should now and evermore bear the honor ed title of " Presever of the nation's ii!e.?? Soon after the death of Mr. Lincoln, some efforts were made to obtain the funds necessary for the erection of a monument. Associations were formed with this special object in view. At first there seemed to be a fair prospect of success. Put the national sorrow was soon succeeded by a feeling of . indignation at the political tergiversations of his successor, and for a time the public thought was turned aside from the purpose of honoring the memory of Mr. Lincoln. Again however, now that better prospects are opening before us. ihe matter is claiming public atten tion. Subscription-books are being opened sinew in various places. If we mistake not one has already been opened - at Salem, and we know of no better way for the loy al people of this commonwealth to testify to their respect for the memory of AmtA. jiam Lincoln, upon the coming anniversa ry of his death, than , by entering their names with contributions for this purpose. We have nothing to say here with refer ence to the appropriateness or inappro pr iateness of a congressional grant for this purpose, but the testimonial given should be the spontaneous expression of rue leeungs ot the people. There lhere are Monument many reasons why a National should be erected to the memorv of Abraham Lincoln. We have space only lor tire mention of two or, three without extended discussion. In the first place the character of the man, not simply as a private cltizeu but as a public officer, is worthy of special commemoration. lie is one of the few men w ho, in filling the highest office in the nation, maintained in all his dealings in public and private so far as known the previously well-earned sobriquet "Honest." lie was true not j simply to the party that placed him in j power, but to the highest interests of the i , nation. It at times he seemed slow in moving, too slow and cautious, for an im patient people, it was not so much through fear of committing some political error, as of doing some moral wrong. He ever held his accountability to God. of greater consequence than las acconntabilitv to any party. And this made hira the 'man that he was. His enemies failing to End moral "defects, were ever resorting to the lowest kind of buffoonery and ridiculing his personal appearance.' In the second place the work accomplished by him for the nation is deserving of the lasting grat itude of the nation. It is sometimes said that he was the creature of circumstances, as if for the purpose ot detracting from his merits. He himself modestly says: I claim.not to have controlled events. but confess plainly,that events have eon trolled me.", There is a sense in which all men are creatures of circumstances but all 'men are not passive in consequence thereof. sMea of strong wills of . earnest purpose, become masters of the situation. They go seize upon circumstances as to work out grand results, oftentimes, either for good br evil. Buchanan was a crea ture of circnmstancesJ and while hn wast in the executive chair, the life of the na r tion was in jeopardy. The strong words of his successor aroused it from the death ly stupor that was creeping over it. Men begau to gird themselves for the strife, and as t he magnitude of the conflict open ed before them, "they put forth all their energies to meet the emergency, confident that their leader would never falter but perish, if perish he must, in a hand-to-hartd struggle for human rights. ; Under hi3 leadership, with faithful men at his side, the nation passed through the darkness into the dawning light of a more glorious day. In the third place, the manner of hia death should awaken aa earnest de sire to perpetuate the memory of his deeds while living. It is not simply that he fell by the hand of an assassin. Other men of as. great, moral worth, though of less renown, have perished in a similar man ner. But it is that his death was the last blow struck by a baffled foe. It would seem as though the malignant hatred of the Slave Power, increasing through many generations had concentrated itself in the person of one man, and at the moment of the final overthrow of that power had aimed a deadly blow at the author of its ruin. This was the crowning act of a series of crimes, which has consigned the Slave Oligarchy in this country, to ever lasting intaaiy. And the man who through four years of strife bore a heavier load of responsibility than any other, and then In the very moment of triumph, received in his own person, the envenomed spite of the foe he had conquered, deserves to be held evermore in honorable remembrance. A dispatch to the Oregonian on Fri day of this week, from Mr. Mitchell, states that Senator Williams' Bill amending the act so as to save the grant of lands to Or egon has passed the Senate by an im mense majority. This gives the east side company an emphatic victory on its merits over the west side, in Congress. The bill was twice recommended to the Senate by the Committee on Public lands, ha3 now finally passed and goes to the House with all these facts to recommend it. Pengra. Mai lory, Corbett & Co., are looking on in blank astonishment, and. we hope will soon get their eyes open to a realizing sense of what they have been doing. We are astonished to learn that the Central Pacific Railroad Company has been our bitter enemy at Washington during this fight. But of this we shall speak further next week. The Victory is ours once again f The Superintendent of Public schools for Clackamas county, Prof. S. D. Pope, recently made an acnual report to Gov ernor Woods, as the Superintendent of Public Instruction for the State, from which the following figures are obtained : Total number of children in the county over four years and under twenty. 247. Male children are in excess about 10 per cent. Total number of districts in the county 55 ; Average number ot quarters school taught in each district during the year 2 ; number of teachers in the county 51, of whom one half are females. The educational interests of this county seem not to be neglected. Each year shows a steady advancement. Were ..-the State to second the earnest endeavors of the poorer districts towards maintaining schools, by apportioning among them even the interest of the irreductible school fund, the benefits would be seen and felt even in our day. JZSsj" What pleasure -it is to pay one's debts! In the first place, it removes that uneasiness which a person feels from de pendence and obligation. It affords pleas ure to the creditor.'and therefore gratifies our social affectiou. It promotes that fu ture confidence which is so very interest ing to an honest mind. It opens a pros pect of being readily supplied with what you want ou future occasions. It leaves a consciousness of our virtue ; and it is a measure we know to be right, both in point of justice and sound economy. Fi nally, it is the main support of simple rep utation. Pay us, that we may pay others. Beware of Benzine. From the facility with which it removes grease spots from fabrics, this substance has come to be re garded as almost a household indespensa ble. But few persons, however, realize the explosive character of benzine or the danger attending the careless handling of the liquid. Being one of the most volatile and inflammable products resulting from the distillation of petroleum, it vaporizes with great rapidity, so that the contents of a four-ounce vial, if overturned, would render the air of a moderate sized room highly explosive. ' The greatest care should be exercised in handling this sub stance, in proximity to the fire, and it is important to remember that the vapor es caping from an uncorked bottle will cause a flame : to leap over a space of several feet. , 35-Newspapers, by enhancing the value of property in their neighborhood, and giving the locality in which they are published a reputation abroad, benefit all. j- particularly if they are merchants or real estate owners, thrice the amount yearly of the sum they pay for their, support. Be sides, every spirited citizen has a laudable pride in having a paper of which he is not ashamed, even though he should pick it up in New York or Washington. A good looking, thriving. live newspaper helps to sell property, " gives character to the lo cality, and in all respects is a desirable public convenience. If, from any cause, the matter in the local or editorial columns should not be quite up to your standard, do not cast it aside and pronounce it of no account, until you are satisfied that there has been no more labor bestowed upon it than is paid for. If you want a good read able sheet, it must be supported. The local press is the '. power that moves the people." - 1 : i 7j course an important reason with us in urging the duty of sustaining a local paper, is that it innures to our advan tage. But aside from any personal or pe cuniary consideration, it is both right and just to do so. A local paper many times contains that most important to those in the-country. It is made up. and must nec essarily be so, of that kind of matter that is most interesting to our citizens. Even the local notices have a value that is not found in the foreign papers. So also the weekly record of deaths and marriages. - anfi the numberless items of incidents uauy iransipinng around us. All these make a loeal papet interesting. That me chanic or farmer, or merchant who hastily says "it is a . one-horse concern," has r no just conception of his own position, or has an inordiuate a ppreciatioir of his own importance and what is necessary to his meutal aliment. Ten chances to one that such a person does not read hi foreign pa- ! 1 .. 1 . . - per if he takes one COURTESY THOSE W AREHOUSES. Mr. C. P. Church intimates in a simper ing manner that because we call attention to the necessity of removing those sheds, erected by the Wallamet Steamboat Com pany in Third Street, of this city, that we are actuated solely by ill humor toward him. Tbat supreme self-love,, or self-preference which leads some persons to direct their purposes to the advancement of their own interest solely, without regard ing those of others, we are happy to be lieve we do not possess extremely. As soon as the Wallamet Steamboat Company closed out we determined to take this course. Long before Church and his asso ciates purchased those buildings. Hence, because Tie would crush us, we are not pursuing this line specially to his injury, but we do so for the good of this corpora tion. The jumping of levee property and voting away of river front in Portland, leads us to inquire is such to be the case in Oregon City? If our Town Council de cide to allow those buildings to remain where they are.tbe heirs of Dr. McLaughlin have a perfect right to take possession of Third Street, under that clause in the original dedication by Dr. McLaughlin, up on which all titles to real estate in this city are basud. It reads as follows : All Streets, alleys and squares are do nated to the City Corporation for the pub lic the Streets to be forever kept open!" Nothing can be plainer than the fact that the heirs of Dr. McLaughlin have good cause for action in this case, if any person, from any motive whatever, sees fit to complain that Third Street is not kept open; and it was with the view of prevent ing such an event that we suggested the removal of the sheds; before they were sold; as soon as they were sold. It is a ques tion in the minds of many wether the steamboat company should have been al lowed to retain its possession of the ground any longer than it did. had it not failed in business, for the reason that the agree ment with the city, on the part of the company, had never been complied with. We quote from the agreement, to show that the Wallamet Steamboat Company were to "Plank or McAdauiize the Street from the warehouse to Main Street, and to keep the same in repair, and at the end of three years to quietly and peaceably vacate the ground ot said Street, and either remove the said warehouse or turn the same over to the said City Council, together with all the improvements made on said street and side-walks.'-' We contend that the steamboat compa ny did not plank or McAdamize the street nor did they build a good and sufficient side walk, but they have quietly and peaceably vacated the ground of the street; and the City Council will be cul pable of a neglect of duty if it fails to at least remove the warehouses. Mr.' Church, however, informs us, in hia usual refined . style, that he purchased those buiiu.ing3 to use, and that he intends to have them reniain where they are. We called the attention of the Council to this matter at its last session, when Mr. Shat- tuck took the ground that the buildings belong to the city. It is self-evident that neither buildings nor street will belong to the city unless the Council take some ac tion in the matter. The jury in the case of Dr Mc Afee, returned a verdict of "not guil ty." ' Work on west side'railroad bas entirely stopped. It is hinted at by some that the route will be convert ed into a plank road. A French chemist, it is said, has discovered a process for inflating lungs, and strengthening respiration so as to start circulation in the body and thus prevent deaths! Wonder if Methusalah had one of those appa ratuses , Josepn H. Joselyn, a notorious abortionist of San Francisco, is at large again on $6,500 bonds on an appeal of his case to the Supreme Court. The old steamer Hermann, sent to Japan by the P. M. S. S. Co., was recently wrecked, 70 miles north of Yokohama, with Japanese troops on board. Speaker Blaine is an old editor; formerly of the Kennebec Journal and Portlaud Advertiser. Our pro fession does not lose its representative in the retirement of Colfax. The Sacramento Record has been shown an oid Spanish coin bea ring date 1774, being 95 years old. It is in an excellent state of preservation, and was plowed up by a man in Piacpr county. The coin ws struck off in the reign of Carolus III, of Spain. How loner it has lain embedded in the earth in Placer coun ty, is a mystery which of course no one can solve. -Eggs are preserved on a large scale in Paris by placing in wire bas kets about a dozen at a time, and immersing them for about a minute in boiling water.

OF BANCROFT LIBRARY. LETTER FROM JACOB HUNSAKER. Oltmpia W T., Ap ril 2d 1869. Editou Weekly Entekpkisk : To make ray promise good, I will now give you a few lines in re gard to our trip. I supp ose there is nothing of interest to you or any of the readers of the Enterprise in re gard to things about Astoria which U the first port we visited so I will pass on to our arrival at Victoria. We find this a beautiful place which every one will testify to, that has visited her shores but woefully dull. From the appearance of the fine brick buildings, churches, resi dences, etc., one would imagine that it was a place of six to ten thousand in habitants but the census shows only a population of three thousand. There aro from six to nine large and elegant churches, built with a taste that would adorn cities of three times her calbire. Residences that would satisfy the most exquisite, and shops, stores,parks,and show cases that will stretch our optic nerves to their ut termost extent. But with all these there is a stagnant appearance in bus inees affairs. One half of these fine buildings are vacant, and probably a third of the ones occupied will be va cated in the course of a few weeks on the account of the withdrawal of the menofWar which are lying here. There are three of these containing in the aggregate a force of one thous and men and commanding near fifty guns. It is the intention of the British Government to send them to Valparaiso on the 17th inst. Cloth ing is qnite cheap here and it will pay any person wishing a suit of clothes to go thither, see the place and buy, but on the return do not fail to wear them or you will have a duty to pay. There was quite an excitement ere ated there last Tuesday by the dis covery of gold on the shores of Beacon HiH. A lady strolling, picked up about six dollars from the crevice of a rock-but whether acci dentally lost by some person or washed from the bed of the straits is not yet known. Persons going to Victoria should not fail to visit Beacon Hill, It is not only one of the most beautiful places on the coast but a place of resort for sport, es especially on the Queen's birthday. Port Townsend is the first port as you enter the S"und and is the place to have your baggage ran sacked by the Custom House Offi cers. It contains about two hun dred inhabitants. IN'o saw mills at ih s place. Port Ludlow is second. It U about the size of Port Towscod and has one saw mill. Ntxt is Port Gamble which has the name of being the fastest towu on the sound. It has two mills in operation with a third being erected, which will turn out in the aggregate between three and four hundred thousand feet of lumber daily. We went ashore bere and tried to get a bed but had to re turn to the boat. The place, true to its name, is well stocked with sports." Port Madison lies a few miles farther up the Sound and is a brisk little lumbering place. Seattle is the principal blace of bus iness on the Sound and lies about sixty miles from the Custom House port. It is quite a lumbering place, has thre mills and is perhaps the principal lumbering port of Puget Sound. These places were passed at night and it is impossible at present to give any description or account, in regard to size, &c. We arrived at Olympia yesterday P. M. ,This morning I called on some old friends. Gale of the Trans, cript and Murphy of the Standard, are both fat and hearty and hard at work. John will go to Oregon short ly, so you can see he is fed well over here. j- . i . .. , , ; A Bail Road meeting was held here last evening ou which occasion Mr. Cook gave to the people of this place the proposition of Ben Hoi la day, as given by that gentleman to him, which is as follows: That he will make the terminus of the Rail Road where he recieves the greatest donation of land all other things be ing equal. A committee often was appointed by the chair to canvas this place and vicinity with a view of ob taining donations. Ticoma, Seattle and Steilacom have all been canvassed. The last men tioned place has so far given the great est amount of land 3,000 acres. Each of thosepoin's, with this, off ers advantages which other places do not possess. Upon the whole I think that Mr. Holladay will terminate his road at the nearest point where vessels can land at all seasons of the tide--which ,is a mile or so below here. Mr.Cook told us last night that Mr. Holladay would be up to visit the Sound country, on the. next trip of the Orijlamme, which j will be about the 15th inst., with his en gineers, and after taking all things into consideration and arriving at a con clusion would make, his intentions (with regard to the terminus) public. I shall remain here a few days long er, and probably a few months. Yours truly, JACOB HUNSAKER Valuable Li axd for Sale Cheap.
