Partisan Tampering iritli Judicial
Proceedings.
"While the Republican party was in full
power here, and this county was under the
control of a corrupt Republican partisan
clique, everything was made subservient
to the interests of the party in power. To
bo successful, either in business or law, it
was neeessary to be a Republican, and to
be very submissive to those having official
position. That clique is, in a manner,
broken up, but the corrupt and damnable
spirit by which it was governed, still sur
vives, and manifests itself wherever, and
whenever there is the least opportunity.
If the Republican partisans can no longer
control judicial proceedings by the parti
san lever, they can, and do, make false
charges against Democratic officers, and
thereby endeavor to make party capital
out of judicial proceedings, any how. As
a case in point, the Oregon Statesman is
still hammering away on the Vaughn trial,
and in its issue of last Wednesday, in
speaking of our notice of the trial, says :
AVe see nothing in this reply that in
duces us to think Vaughn was right in
perpetrating the horrible butchery referr
ed to, or that satisfies a reasonable and
unprejudiced person. that a Democratic
jury was gathered without special effort
of the summoning officers.
Again, in speaking of a former article
in the Statesman on this trial, that paper
now says : f
The article was written as a vindication
of justice, and as an answer to tho weak
reply of the Enterprise we will add, that
many parties there predicted the result
days beforehand, judging from the plain
Management of the case, and the conduct
cf the Sheriff. We have no acquaintance
with that gentleman, and are willing to
b-ave him to his constituents, but as we
bave been informed that he is a prominent
owner in the Enterprise, we fully under
stand and appreciate the necessity for the
Enterprise to shield him from public indig
nation. That paper, with the discourteous style
peculiar to its class, characterizes our re
ply to its former article as weak, and at
tributes our defense to the false charges
made against the Sheriff, to the moneyed
interest whicb Mr. Myers has in the Extek
nusE. We are aware that money is the
god which Republican politicians worship,
and that they are very servile and obse
quious to those possessing it ; hence we
are not surprised that the editor of the
Statesman erroneously measures U3 by his
own standard. But we have no time to
waste in replying to such matters, and
will therefore discard them, and call at
tention to the main question that is : the
influence that a ''Democratic Sheriff " had
in tho formation of the jury which tried
Frank Vaughn.
That eight of the jurymen were selected
from the regular panel, and that only four
were taken from the additional jurors
summoned by the Sheriff, are facts, and
are admitted to be such by the Statesman.
These four jurors, selected by the Sheriff,
must have exerted a powerful influence,
if they subjugated and controlled the
eight men taken from the regular panel.
We will now state the manner of selecting
the regular panel, and in doing so we will
be particular, for thereby hangs a tale.
The panel is selected in this manner : The
County Court of each county, at its first
term of each year, or in case of omission
or neglect to do so, then at any future
term, makes from the last assessment roll
of the county, a list denominated the jury
list, containing tho names of persons to
serve as grand and trial jurors until the
following year, or until new lists be made.
This list contains the names of one hun
dred men, and the law requires that it
shall be selected from the different portions
of the county, in proportion to the num
rber of qualified persons on the assessment
.rtll. .
The County Clerk is required to keep in
bis office a sufficient box, and to prepare
and deposit therein, (after the jury list is
made.) one hundred separate ballots, each
ballot containing the name, place of resi
dence, and occupation of a person em
braced in the jury list, and he is required
to so fold the ballots that the names can
not be seen, and to fold them all as nearly
Til ike as possible.
Not less than ten nor more than twenty
days, previous to a term of the Circuit
Court, thirty-one names are drawn from
ihis jury-box for grand and trial jurors for
the ensuing term. The drawing takes
place at the office of the County CLerk, and
whenever jurors are to be drawn, the
County Clerk is required by law to take
to his assistance the Sheriff, or a Justice of
the Peace of the county, and proceed
with the drawing a3 follows: Th.e Clek
shall shake the box contaiamg the ballots
so as to mingle them as much as possible,
and then publicly draw out of thebox,onc
at a time, the required thirty-one ballots
and these ballots contain tho names of the
persons who are to serve as grand and
trial jurors at the ensui-g term. These
persons are summoned fcy tbe Sheriff, and
on the first day cf the Court, the jurors
summoned bein in attendance, theseame
thirty-one ballots are put into another
box, from which the Clerk draws seven
ballots, and the persons whose names are
thus drawn, constitute the grand jury for
the term.
' Our County Court being composed of
two Republicans and one Democrat, it is
not improbable that the jury lists formed
by such Court were two-thirds Republican ;
at least, and one-third Democratic, in their
sentiments. At all evcnts,the panel drawn
for the last March term of the Circuit
Court stood politically twenty Republican
and eleven Democratic, and frcm this list
the Clerk drew seven Republicans for
grand jurymen.
At the October term just past, the panel
stood, politically, nineteen Republicans
and twelve Democratic, from which the
Clerk drew six Republicans and one Dem
ocrat, for grand jurymen.
These are striking coincidences, which
could not well happen by chance, but
must have been the result of some Repub
lican partisan maneuvering. Although
our County Clerk is a very "loyal man,"
and a staunch Republican, we should
not like to charge him with corruption
and political tampering with judicial
proceedings, without first giving bim a
chance to explain. But we would like to
know how it happened that each of the
panels mentioned were so decidedly Re
publican in sentiment, and particularly
the grand juries.
We do not wish to be understood a3
saying that the jurymen thus drawn would
be influenced in their deliberations by par
tisan motives, for we know many persons
in the Republican party who are honest,
conscientious gentlemen, but we speak of
the object-that prompts such political fa
voritism in the selection and drawing of
jurymen.
Notwithstanding all these facts, the Re
publican press, blindly and falsely, charge
that a Democratic Sheriff "packed a jury"
to secure the acquittal of a political friend,
and then malignanfly howl about the im
agined outrage. This political howling is
not in earnest, but is indulged for the pur
pose of covering up some few of the
many corrupt actions of the radical party.
UxroKTCXATE. The Oregon Central R.
R. Company has been working incessantly
through all kinds of weather in order to
complete the first section (20 miles) of the
road this fall, and was in a fair way of ac
complishing it. The heaviest part of the
work that remained unfinished wa3 the
bridge across the Clackamas River. And
of this the Stone Piers were up, a false
bridge built and work on the Railroad
bridge was progressing rapidly and satis
factorily.
But during all the former part of this
week it rained steadily and very hard,
causing a rapid rise in the Clackamas.
On Wednesday night the drift came down
in such quantities, and with such force
that it carried away the false bridge, the
lower stringers of the Railroad bridge, and
broke off portions of the piers, doing con
siderable damage.
This will neccessarily re lard the work
for some days. But Ben Ilolladay says
that the first section can and must be com
pleted this fall. lie is a Napoleon in his
manner of doing business, and it will be
done.
Homicide. The quiet of our usual
peaceful city was thrown into excitement
last Sunday morning by the report, and
afterward the proof, of the shooting of
Judge Russell B. Morford by Theodore
Burmest;r. Judge Morford and a Mr.
Dwight, of Oregon, were out walking on
the Overland road that morning. Having
gone about a mile, they changed their
course and were returning to town.
When within half a mile of town Morford
and Dwight were met by Eurmesier and
Judge Scaniker. We now give Judge
Scaniker's story, as nearly as possible:
Tnimediately after Morford and Dwight
passed Burmester and Scaniker. Burmes
ter turned to Scaniker and remarked,
" did you see that?" Scaniker answered
that he did not, and asked what it was. :
Burmester replied that Morford shook his
fist at him. Burmester then turned and
asked Morford what he meant by it. Mor
ford replied that he meant (Burmester)
was a son of a b h, and immediately
Hrew his revolver and fired at Burmester.
Three shots were fired by Morford and
three by Burmester, the third shot from
Burmcster's pocket derringer or revolver
hitting Morford in the right temple. Mor
ford fell and remained unconscious to the
last expiring at 2:40 o'clock, Monday
morning. Tho other side now deserves
the same hearing. Dwight's statement
differs somewhat from Judge Scaniker's.
Dwight thinks that but two shots were
fired by Morford and three by Burmester
docs not remember who fired off their
pistols first was taken unawares and
consequently was somewhat excited.
Watkins and son also saw the firing at a
distance, and their statements agree. They
both say that the person farthest up the
road (Burmester) fired first ; that before
the report of the first pistol was heard by
them the flash of the second (the one to
ward town Judge Morford's) was seen.
That the person farthest up the road fired
three shots, and the person nearest town
but two. That there may be much evi
dence yet unknown is unquestionable in
the mind of every one, yet it is not the
duty of a journalist to report statements
heard la the Hurdy houses, perfume shops
asd back alleys, and to make a case of
scan mag, -est cf an affair that should go
to the Grand Jury without any prejudice
or partiality. Here we rest the case at
present and await judicial proceeding.

FrigHtfitl Railroad Accident i i Cali
fornia. Sax Fkanciso. Nov. 1 1th. About 9 o'
clock this morning, the regular passenger
train of the Western Pacific Railroad,
bound east, came in collision with the
train from Hay ward's, near Damon Station
about four miles from Alamed.x. The lo
comotives of both trains were totally de
stroyed, as were four cars of the Western
Pacific, and several of the Ilayward
train.
Oaki.axp, Nov. 11th. From Capt. R.
Ivonvin Peafrowsky. who was a passenger
on the incoming Ilayward train, we gath
er the following particulars : The train
started from Hay ward's at 8.30 a. m., clear
weather. On leaving San Leandro, en
countered a heavy fog. Captain Korwin
was on the third car from the locomotive:
heard a crash, the first and second cars
were badly smashed up; third and fourth
cars uninjured. Both locomotives pi tinged
into Fisher's creek, which prevented a
conflagration. It is said both trains were
behind time, and running beyond their
usual speed. The train bound east con
sisted of eight cars, which were not how
ever fully occupied, Tho third car of the
Western Pacific train was telescoped into
the fourth car, running through it to with
in six feet of the end. In that six feet
were tho only on?s who survived unin
jured. Mr. Gates and some others at once
commenced cutting into the telescoped
cars, in order to get at the mangled mass
of dead and dying within, using such im
plements as were at hand. The scene
beggared all description, the wounded
groaning and crying and the cars being
crowded with the debris of the wreck and
bodies of passengers.
Mr. George B. Cadwallader, of Sacra
mento, who was on the Western Pacific
train at the time of the accident, furnishes
the following statement :
The train left at the regular hour, so far
as I can judge. It consisted of six cars.
I was in the fourth ear, and was seated
three seats from the front, when the collis
ion occurred. I was thrown completely
to the rear of the car, amid a pile of seats.

rear end of the car was torn out, with I
aid of ropes. Two Chinamen adopted the
best plan, by opening the front of the car.
removing debris, and gaining access that
way. An immense crowd of persons as
sembled at the scene of the disaster, and
the roads leading thereto were filled with
vehicles conveying people to the spot. At
least 5,000 people visited the scene.
There is no doubt but that the engineer
of the Alameda train whistled down brakes
but the signal was instantly followed by
the crash. A farmer standing at his barn
door, a quarter of a mile distant, distinct
ly heard tho whistle, and immediately af
terwards the sound of the dreadful acci
dent. The news of the accident, which
reached the eity about 10 o'clock, created
great excitement, the most exaggerated
rumors being circulated,

residents in those climates, a sure cure.
We have long known the high charaster of
The Pain Kiiter, aod that it is used with
great success and satisfaction in our best
families. It is the favorite medicine of our
missionaries in heathen lands, where they
use it more than all else together for the
diseases that abonad in those warm climates.
It should be kept in every house, in readi
ness for suddeu attacks of sickness. Chr

A VOiCK FK(1 THE MIXES.
The miners of California are a straight
forward and outspoken-class. 'What they
think, they say, aud what they say is al
ways to the point. If there is-anything
they particularly detest, it is humbug.
When, therefore, they endorse, in the
mostcnthusiastlc language, the merits of
HOSTETTEirS STOMACH BITTERS as
a preventive of the intermittent and re
mittent fevers prevalent in the gold re
gioiis iii thb Spring and Fall, and as a
means of Strengthening, cheering, and sus
taining them at all seasons in the prose
cution of their arduous labors, it may be
taken for granted that they speak from
experience, aud that their testimony is
prompted by a grateful remembrance of
the benefit they have derived from the
preparation. During the past year, up
wards of oxe tiioisax: I.KTTEKS have been
received from gold-diggers, employees in
quartz-crushing mills. &.C., Ac, dated from
ever j portion of the Pacific gold region,
find the all tell the same simple story of
sickness averted or cured by this potent
proseclivc and restorative. From dis
tricts where the water and air are inimi
cal to health and life, come the most cheer
ing accounts of the improved physical
condition of the inhabitants, consequent
upon the general use of the famous vege
table tonic and alterative. Epidemic
diarrhoea and dysentery, bilious" and gas
tric fevers, fever and ague, and' scorbutic
diseases, are stated to be literalbj disajy
pcaring in the localities' where it, has be
come a staple. M-alaria appears t'o' have
no- effect irpon systems torAjd, regulated
and reinforced by 1 K)3T ETTER'S BIT
TERS. In all the cities atfd towns of Cal
ifornia tbey are rapidly displacing the
adulterated stimulants heretofore used as
medicines, and now, like' an echo of the
praise accorded tc thAV article in the
densely po-pulatetF localities of the State,
comes batik this enlphati and enthusias
tic voice of approval from every segment
of the golden circle of the' Pacific Terri
tories. In Clack:im.s countv, on the 1'orh of Octo
