Gov. Woods' Message.
V'e Lave not luul" time to examine the
farewell message of Got. Woods. It i?
lengthy and well written, while it does
not contain as much information as we had
expectedo receive through the Executive
head. The message contains many sug
gestions we regard worthy of the atten
tion of the Legislature. The portion
which alludes to the breaking up of the
Legislature of 1SCS h very cmooihly
worded, and left so as not to leave the
p lightest impression that he was thochief
actor in thai diabolical transaction. lie
suggests many public improvement?, which
we regard aP necessary and essential, yet
we cannot help cautioning the Legislature
against rushing heedlessly into the ex
penditure of the public money. The Rad
icals have had charge of our State all airs
for the past eight years, and on a tax as
high as the people of our State can bear,
Lave been unable to make any of these
needed improvements, and no money on
hand to commence upon. In order to
carry out the Recommendations of the
Governor, it would require several hun
dred thousand dollars, and if it took the
entire revenue pPthe State under Kadica!
rule, and if the Democracy proceed with
these improvements and keep the State
credit as it should be, tlieso additional ex
penditures would necessarily increase the
taxes on the people. "We are of the opin
ion that the Democracy had better see
iiere the taxes can be reduced on an
over-burdened people, than to seek places
Here to expend money and tnus increase
the burden on them. It sadly becomes a
retiring Governor, whose party was ex
pelled frogr power on account of its ox
travagiijice. last June, to advise the
expenditure of at least a million of dol
lars by the party whose watch .void was
retrenchment and economy. "We feel tat
istied that the Democracy will take the
advice of Gov. Woods with caution, com
ing as it does from one who would do all
in his power to defeat the future prospe cts
of the party now in power in this State.
"We carried the State with a firm pledge
to the people that taxes should be reduced,
and we feel confident that the Legislature
will not disappoint them in this premise.
"We may .ive occasion to refer to this
matter tigain.
Vhckcals Pardons.
Gov. "Woods last Monday pardoned out
c-f the Penitentiary five convicts. We are
eager to find fault with the retiring
Governor, but the people will look upon
this wholesale pardoning biiness with
fuspicfon. and it certainly looks bad for
O nn Executive to exercise his pardoning
power at such a tinv?, in such an extcn-
Ofuve manner. WLytlier these parties de
ferred to be pardoned, we know not, but
jt would have looked much belter had he
recommenced their cases to his successor
The following are the names of the men
pardoned: Michael O'Laughlin, G. W.
Dallard, John Latham, Nelson llauxhurst,
and Edward Marshall. "We believe it to
le the duty of the Legislature to examine
Juto this matter, as pardoning and turning
loose upon the public such bands of con
victs cannot result but in evil to the peo
ple at large. One of his pardoned con
victs, a few days after ho was turned cut,
and was in there for life,
was arrested in Portland for beating his
wife nearly to death. This shows that the
man mast have been entirely unworthy of
his freedom, and that he was a bad and
dangerous person to turn at large. "We
hope this matter will be examined into.
The Senate-rial Conto&t.
On next Tuesday, iu accordance with '
the la-, the two Ileuses of the Oregon
Legislature will meet in joint convention
to elect a United States Senator to suc
ceed Geo. H. Williams. It is expected of
the members of the Legislature that they
v ill carry out, the plain and expressed
will of the partyOvhich elected them, and
that no tnciiery and corruption shall
cause them to betray the trust which an
honest people has placed iu theii hands.
The Democracy at the polls last June pro
nounced its verdict against the Radical
party, and now it ri mains for the mem
bers of our Legislature to finish the. work
so nobly done by the voters of our State.
Theopeopie look wiih eoger anxiety to
the acts of their Representatives, and we
feel assured that the best interests of cur
younff State have been placed iu the
hands of men who will obey and heed the
voice of their constituents.
Presiding Or r:cE::s. -The Senate elect

able and competent an officer ever pre
sided over that body. Hon. Ben. Itajden,
of Tolk, has been elected Speaker of the
House, and he makes an efficient officer,
and as soon as he gets his hand in, will
dispatch work in a hurry. The balance
of the officers in both Houses are compe

business will be done up in good style,
and the present Legislature leave a record
for the members to be proud of.

Editorial Correspondence.
Salem, Sept. 10, 1S70.
The Capital, since the arrival of the
members of the Legislature, presents a
very lively and business-like appearance.
The members from the various counties, I
believe, are all on hand and ready for
business.
LEGISLATIVE.
The House was called to order at 10
o'clock, a. m.. and Dr. W.F. Alexander, of
Linn, chosen temporary Chairman, who
on taking -the Chair, made a few very ap
propriate remarks, thanking the members
for the honor conferred on him. E. S. Mc
Coraas, of Union county, was chosen tem
porary Chief Clerk, and A. M. Snyder, ot
Multnomah, was chosen temporary Ser-gcant-at-Arms.
After appointing a com
mittee of. five on credentials, the House
adjourned to 3 o'clock..!', m. -
The Senate met at the same hour, and
selected Hon. B. F. Burch, ot Polk, as
temporary President; S. C. Simpson, of
Marion, temporary Clerk, and John Hel
ton, of Multnomah, temporary Serge-ant-at-Arms.
The Senate then adjourned to 2
o'clock, P. M.
In the afternoon the committee on cre
dentials made their report, stating that all
the members, heretofore published were
en tilled to seats?, and that the places of the
members from Clackamas, Benton and
Yamhill were contested. After the adop
tion of the report, the House proceeded to
a permanent organization, which was
speedily effected, with the following re
sult : Hon. B. F. Iluyden.of Polk, Speaker;
E. S. MeComas, of Union, Chief Clerk ; W.
L. White, of ClacEamas, Engrossing Clerk;
J. T. Crooks, of Linn, Enrolling Clerk ;
A. M. Snyder, of Multnomah, Sergeant-at-Arms
: Robt. Smith, of Marion, Door
keeper ; Master Frank McConncll, Page.
The Secretary of State came iu the Hail
and swore in the officers and members
elected, and the House was ready to pro
ceed to business. After some unimport
ant business, the House adjourned until
to-morrow.
The Senate effected a harmonious and
speedy organization by the election of
th following officers : Hon. J. D. Fay, of
Jackson, President; S. C. Simpson, of
Marion, Chief Clerk ; 0. M. Packard, As
sistant Clerk ; John Ilolton, of Multno
mah. Sergeant-at-Arms. and Jas. M. Moore,
Doorkeeper. The officers and members
were all duly sworn in. No business of
importance was transacted.
Tuesday, Sept. 13.
Both Houses met this morning, but
transacted little business, not having got
yet into fair operation. A joint resolution
was adopted for a convention of the two
Houses to receive the message of Gov.
"Woods this afternoon at 2 o'clock. At
that hour the two Houses met in conven
tion and the Governor appeared and read
his farewell message to the two House?.
At the close cf his message the two
Houses proceeded to canvass the vote ot
Governor, which resulted in giving Hon.
L. F. G rover (130 majority over his oppo-
1 1 i 1 r 1 n . 1 w
nenr, wnerenpen uie.peuKer ot toe House
declared Hon. L. F. G rover duly elected
Governor of Oregon for the term of yeirs
provided by law. After the dissolution of
the two Houses, no business of importance
was transacted.
A committee from both Houses was. ap
pointed to make arrangements fur the in
auguration of the Governor elect, and a
grand ami lr.agnineent inauguration is
:pected.
Yv'edne.spav. Sept. 11.
The two Houses have now got fairly
under way and the indications are that a
busy and industrious session will be had.
The Senate and House have each appoint
ed their standing committees and will
proceed now to business. The contested
cases of Clackamas and Yamhill counties
have been referred to the committee on
elections. The contest from Benton was
referred to a Fpccia! coaimHlee, consisting
of Messrs. Helm, Dorris and Hare. Mr.
Helm made some very appropriate re
marks when he moved this case to a spe
cial committee, and we cannot help but
produce theni in tku letter. Mr. Helm
said :
Mr. Speaker I desire to state, briefly,
my reasons for this reference. 1 am aware
tnat ordinary cases ot this kind would go
to the standing committee on elections,
but already the Yamhill and Clackamas
county cases, which are similar to this,
Jiave been referred to that committee.
The testimony in those cases are. doubt
less, as voluminous as it is in this, and
much time may be required in their hear
in;. Their labors will be arduous, and to
facilitate business. I think it but proper
that this case should be referred to a se
lect committee. 1 think these contested
cases should be Settled at an early dav.
The gentleman from Washington, and also
the gentleman from Multnomah, intimated
in their remarks this morning, that this
whole matter was premature, and seemed
to think that justice and fair dealing
rtiicrht be more fully meted out by not
hastening the matter. I do not agree with
these gentlemen, nor am I to be misled or
deceived by such intimation or demonstra
tion. I have witnesied such things betore.
I was here and participated in the scenes
and actions of this House in the Grant
county cases of 18Gfi. The Republican
party was then in power in the legislative
department ot the btate, and made a re
cord in those, contested cases wnien to
this day is an insult to the dignity of the
State, and for unfairness and wrong doing
is unsurpassed in the history ot Uregon
legislation. They retained members on
thTs floor tor the express purpose of pass
ing the infamous 1 lib Amendment and the
election of a Republican Senator, who had
no rights here, and then, in exhibition of
tLeirgross perfidy, removed them imme
diately afterwards. I desire nothing but
what is right, fair, legitimate and proper ;
but I favored, in ISCG.an early settlement
of contested cases, and I propose now to
preserve consistency by favoring an early
disposition of them at this time. The peo
ple have a right to know who their repre
sentatives are. They have a right to know
this before a bill is passed or a Senator is
elected. -They demand this, and they are
right in doing so. and I favor, therefore.
ihat this matter be referred to a special
G0URT3SY OF BANCROFT LIBRARY,
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA,
BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA
committee, and that that committee pro
ceed at once with their business. I make
these remarks that gentlemen of all par-"
ties may not misunderstand the position I.
occupy. I mean earnest action in this
case, with a hope that justice may be done
all parties concerned.
A joint committee on the insane asylum
has been ordered but not yet appointed.

The inauguration of Gov. G rover took
place this morniug. The procession was
organized under the marshalship of Hon.
A. II. Brown, of Baker, assisted by Hon.
Geo. B. Dorris, of Lane. The members of
both Houses, with the Supreme Court,
members of.the pres, and many citizens,
marched to Reed's Opera House, where
the ceremonies of inauguration took place
as follows : Introduction of Hon. L. F.
Grover by Gov. "Woods ; administration
of the oath of office by Chief Justice Prim;
music by the band ; prayer by the chap
lain (which was altogether too long, and
extended over too much territory, and
was tinctured very much with a eulogy of
the Radical cause ;) delivering of the in
augural, which we print in full in our sup
plement. The inaugural is an able State
paper, and we bespeak a careful reading
of it. When he referred to the popular
phrase that some of our State debt would
probably need equitable adjustment'
the house came down with loud applause.
The Governor's views on the Chinese
question and our national relations are
sound, and commend themselves to the
people of our State.
In the evening the Governor was seren
aded, and addressed a large crowd in a
few appropriate remarks. Senator Fay
was loudly called for, and made a few
very able remarks, but we failed to hear
only the closing, which was that " we pro
posed to have Oregon Democratic in every
department, from the Senate Chamber to
the constable." Col. J. 11. Heed followed
Mr. Fay in his usual happy style, and said
that when the prophecy of Mr. Fay was
fulfilled, he was satisfied. There were
other speakers called out, bit other busi
ness prevented me from hearing them.
Salem presents to a Democrat a more
pleasant aspect this vear than it has for
the past ten years .and ere long the strong
hold of Radicalism will be forced to fall
in the ranks of the great and only true
party of the country.
I may say that the State is now in com
plete Democratic bands, and it is to be
hoped that the servants of the people will
do their duty as is expected, and all will
be well.
