The Clackamas County Contest.
Depositions in the matter of contest be
tween the Democratic and Radical candi
dates for the Legislature, from this county,
have been taken during the past week.
The evidence which was adduced was of
euch as to" convince any man or bod- that
great injustice and wrong is done to the
bona fide citizens of this county by allow
ing Ben. Ilolladay ihe absolute control of
-Its affairs by means of his railroad votes
and defrauding the people of their choice.
The affidavit taken from an old citizen of
Canemah precinct stales that he had re
sided there for over fifteen years, and that
he was personally acquainted with every
permanent settler in that precinct, with
the exception of six or eight. An exhibit
containing thirty-one names which had
voted at the late June election was shown
to the deponent, who testified that there
were but two names on the exhibit who
had a residence in the precinct. These
imports were brought to the polls by what
werPtermed the " bosses'' of the road, and
watched until they deposited their ballots.
To the exclamation of one of the bystand
ers to let the men vote their principles,
one of these " bosses" remarked, " Princi-
pies be u
-d ; vote for the men who give
you your bread and butler." These
twenty-nine men have all left the precinct
since the election,, and were retained in
the county only long enough to vote. In
Marshfield precinct, a Republican testified
that he knew nearly every man in the
precinct, having been a citizen in it for
twenty years, and out of the number of
twenty-one, he knew onlytbree men who
vere what the people in that precinct
termed " settlers," or " citizens," the rest
being only regarded as transient persous.
Another witness stated that he was ac
quainted with all the bona fide citizens of
thi3 precinct, and he could only recognize
three names on the list who were what he
termed citizens of the precinct. In reply
to the question " Did you ever hear any
of the bosses say anything in regard to the
permanent location of these men in this
precinct, or whether they were liable to
be removed at any time?'' he replied that,
" When I was employed, I was told that I
would be subject of being placed on any
part of the road, and liable to be ordered
to the front, or I could quit." lie took
the alternative of quitting, and that but a
jcry few of the men who were there on
the day of election, and who voted, were
now in the precinct. The evidence in
these two precincts is most conclusive
that the railroad hands, who had been in
the precinct but a short lime, and who
have since lett, numbered 47, and two or
three were testified to as lesiding in other
places and not in the county at all. A
deposition from a gentleman in this city
in regard to four persons whose right to
vote is challenged states that the four ar
rived in this place after the 9th of March,
and one of them as late a3 the 11th of
April, and three of them told deponent
that they had just arrived from other
counties of the State. One witness who
was railed to testify to his right to vote
stated that he commenced driving stage
in Jailoary, and drove the same about
three months, and then stopped in Salem
tending horses until the d 1th of May, and
on that date came back to Oregon City.
Two or three other Radical voters suc
ceeded in swearing that they had no right
to a vote in this county. There were
Some six others who had been summoned
to give their depositions, but the attorney
for the defendants in the case advised
them not to appear and give their testi
mony, and all being Radicals, they took
the dishonorable counsel and left after
coming to the office of the Notary. Their
refusal to appear and testify as to their
right to vote can only be construed as
meaning that they had no legal vote, or
they would not, after receiving their fees,
refused to attend and testify in their own
behalf. There is yet some substantiating
evidence to be produced, and the parties
vijl appear to give the same either before
the Legislature or a committee from that
body. There can be no question as to the
fact that the Democracy of this county
have been most shamefully defrauded out
out of their rights, and while we have no
hope of obtaining justice and equity from
the Judge of this District, we hope the
Legislature will do its duty and examine
into this case thoroughly, and if that body,
in common with a majority of the bona
fide citizens of this county, who are satis
fied that they have been defrauded out of
their just rights, come to the same conclu
sion, that the Radical candidates will not
be allowed to usurp the seats which by
right belong to the Democratic members.
This is what wek, and have a right to
expect.
Incorporation. Dr. Loryea has been
trying to get a charter adopted for East
Portland, against the will of the people
f that place. He finds it some trouble,
and we apprehend he will meet with more
xrben the matter comes before the Legis
lature. Doc's time in controlling legisla
tion In Oregon -is past, and he may as
well realize it at once.
To Our Readers.
We propose to be in Salem during the
entire session of the Legislature and will
promise that the readers of the Exteii
rnisE shall bo kept posted on all matters
that may transpire there. "We shall prob
ably not be at -home during the session,
but leave the paper in competent bauds
and ieel assured that it will be unusually
interesting during the session of that body.
Double Deauxo. We are informed, on
reliable authority, that the communication
published in the Herald of January 4th,
1S70. over the signature of "Fair Play,"
was so satisfactory to one of the capitalists
of Portland that he gave the author, the
editor of the Bulletin, $100 in gold coin as
a token of his appreciation of the merits
of the West Side railroad advocate, and
that the said article so engrafted said edi
tor into the affections of the stockholders
and main managers of said road that they
gave him their organ to edit, and also that
he now is engaged in publishing corres
pondence written by himself, the knowl
edge of which he gained while he was in
their confidential employ. This may be
honorable and right, but people may differ
on the question. This same individual is
now engaged in writing column after col
umn of fulsome laudations of Geo. II.
Williams. A few years ago there was
nothing too mean or contemptible, in the
estimation of said editor, for Williams to
be guilty of. He has shown himself to be
an expert in grand and lofty tumbling,
and what he declared so vehemently to be
white a few years ago, he asserts equally
as positively now to be black. Remark
able strange what a change has occurred.
Not Much. A writer in the Advocate
of the 3d inst., under the head of work for
the Legislature, says :
Five thousand dollars should bo appro
priated and placed under the control of
the Portland Emigrant Aid Society, to dis
seminate information in the East in rela
tion to Oregon.
We have not the slightest idea that the
Legislature will do anything of the kind.
It would be a very pretty thing for the
Legislature to give Dr. Loryea $5,000 to
use in behalf of colonizing Oregon with
Republican voters. That's all that insti
tution amounts to, and all we have to say
is, that Democrats who give their money
to keep up that institution are victims of
misplaced confidence. Through the means
of this Aid Society the Radicals hope to
carry Oregon two years hence, and we
have no desire to see the State money
used for that purpose. Let them collect
the $5,000 from Loryea, Ilolladay and
Williams. They expect to reap the bene
fits of it.
Removal. We hear it reported that the
County Commissioners propose to remove
the Court room and Clerk's office from the
present place. This is a little narrow
minded move, growing out of the fact that
Mr. Myers is a Democrat.. The buildings
now occupied are the best for that purpose
in town, and the rent asked and allowed
for the building into which they propose
to move is the same as now paid where
they are. It puts the county to the ex
pense of moving, and a less desirable
place, just because a few individuals de
sire to avenge themselves on Mr. Myers,
and make the county suffer for their spite
work. This move will recoil on the per
petrators' own heads before many days.
Remarkable Courteous. Ben. Holla
day's trick ponies at Portland are very
courteous to every one who arrives in that
city, especially if it is thought he has a
vote, or can have any influence with one.
The amount of free buggy riding is im
mense, and a man can get these little tools
of the would be King of Oregon to do
anything desired. There is an ex-Representative
from Washington Territory who
i3 particularly officious in his toadyism in
behalf of his masters, Williams and Ilol
laday. They find the material from the
eastern counties don't buy worth a cent,
and that it is composed of better stuff than
these corruptionists are. They generally
meet with the response of " jGTet behind
me, Satan."
Died. Mr. L. W. Doolittle 'arrtrtd Ore
gonian, died at his residence in Albany
of consumption, on the Sth inst. Mr. Doo
little is a relative of the editor of this pa
per, and being called to pay our last res
pects to one whom we have known and
esteemed for many years as a friend and
a brother, will account for the lack of
original matter in this issue. Mr. Doolittle
has been in Oregon since 1850. aud was
well and favorably known in the State.
He leaves a wife and four children, with a
large circle of friends to mourn his death
Admitted. -The friends of Charles E
arren will bo pleased that he passed
the ordeal of an examination before the
Supreme Court, last Wednesday, and he
now sianus ciotned with, the full title of
an attorney and counseler at law. We
learn that the entire class passed a very
creuuauie examination.
married. Mr. T. Patterson, State
Printer, and one of the proprietors of the
Herald, was married in Eugene City, on
the 7th inst., to Misa Francis E. Evans, of
that place. We wish them a happy jour
ney through life.
. Haxdsome Poster. We have received
a very fine poster, for the State Fair of
1870, printed by A. L. Stinson, of Salem.
The poster is equal to any work ever done
in this State.
Passed Through. Geo. II. Williams
passed through town yesterday. He looks
about as dejected as he did when Ben.
Harding beat him for the Senate.
Arrived. Gen. Sherman arrived at
San Francisco on the 17th inst. He re
ceived a very cordial reception from the
citizens of that place.
L J
Hon. S. F. Chadwick.
The riatwlealer has the following formal
notice of our new Secretary of State :
S. F. Chadwick, with his family, left
here for Salem to assume the duties of
Secretary of State, which will necessitate
his presence there for at least four years.
His absence will be felt by a host of
friends and his numerous clients, whose
kind wishes attend hira in his r.ew field.
We do not bid him farewell, for, although
absent, he will still be considered one of
us. His friend3,gave him a serenade the
night before his departure, to which he
responded in a very happy manner.
The Ensign has the following:
Hon. S.F. Chadwick left by Monday's
stao-e lor Salem, there to enter into tne
duties of Secretary of State. Having
been so long a resident of thia place ad
ding life, as an active congenial business
man, there seems a void in his absence.
The hearty good wishes of all go with
him.
Sorxn .We take the following from the
Mountain Democrat, published at La
Grande. It is sound :
We clip the following strange paragraph
from the Oregon Herald, of a late date,
and would direct the attention of Demo
crats to it, requesting them to ponder it
well :
" We are informed that there is a fellow
ranging around in the eastern counties ot
this State who has on one of Ren. Holla
day's bright shining collars The indi
vidual represents that Ben. has some more
of the same sort on hand for any one who
will agree to support- him in his efforts to
" buy the State" and secure the election
of Geo. II. Williams or that other fellow (?)
to the United States Senate."
While we do not believe there is a man
elected on the Democratic ticket so lost
to the principles of honor to suffer himself
to be purchased to vote against the wishes
of his constituents, we do know that man
never yet lived and so debase himself
could return and live in the midst of a
people like the residents of this portion of
the State. A coat of tar and feathers
would be considered too good for him.
Let any of the members from Eastern Ore
gon vote for Geo. II. Williams' return to
the Senate, and so certain as there is a
heaven above and earth below, the first
time he makes his appearance afterward
it will be before a large audience, who
will witness a man suspended in the air
from a rope made fast to the stout limb of
some good tree. Mark that !
Sale of Real Estate. Mr. William
Davidson, real estate dealer, has affected
the sale of lots No. 1 and two in' block
No. 20S, being the south-west corner of
Salmon and Seventh streets, with two one
story houses on the same, to L. Fleisch-
ner. Esq.. for the amount of thirty-six
hundred dollars in U.S. gold coin; and
the north half of lot No. 3, in block No. C.
situated on Front, between Salmon and
Main streets, with a one story frame store,
to Messrs. D. & S. Simon, for the sum of
twenty-one hundred dollars in U. S. gold
coin.

London, Sept. 6. A cable special to the
Tribune says its correspondent had an in
terview with Bismarck at the King's head
quarters on the 2d. inst., in response to the
inquiry as to what were likely to be the
conditions of peace demanded by King
William. Bismarck replied : There are
three ways of stopping an attack on the
Rhine provinces. Firstly we might
make Alsace and Loraine a neutral State,
like Luxemburg or Belgium, extending
from the former country to Switzerland
and separating France and Prussia by a
Government of neutral States ; but I con
fess that it appears to me that the neutral
ity oi the existing small States is already
so difficult to protect, and is at every mo
ment capable of so much and so many
dangerous complications, that I do not
think it would be worth while to make any
more neuteal States with new duties and
dangers. Secondly -We might annex Al
sace and Loraine and hold them as con
quered Territories ; but I am sure that this
would not be looked on favorably by the
majority of German countrymen. We are
anxious to complete our unity, but we do
not want any people among us who are
unwilling members of the German nation.
That the Alsatians would be most disloyal
subjects of the King of Prussia, in spite
of the great majority of them speaking the
German language and being of Teutonic
ni-io-in. there can be no doubt. Thirdly--Therc
then remains to us the third course,
to take Metz and Strasbourg and to
keep them. This latter is what we shall
do. for while France possesses Strasbourg
there is nothing to stop a French invading
armv.
The bombardment of Strasburg has
been suspended.

position at Metz. notwithstanding th
strength of the Prussians. He is keepiuj
150.000 Prussians to guard him and pre

tersburg. Berlin, Sept. fi Evening. Official re
ports show that fifty French Generals are

sians. Princes Matilde was arrested near
Dieppe to-day. It is expected that great
Republican demonstrations will be made
