o o o o o (El)C lUcckin (Enterprise. J it . Oregon City, Oregon , Friday : : : Sept. 29, 1370. Col. Kelly and the E, ailrc ad It U very amusing at present to see to what diligence, falsehood and perfidy the Radical reporter: and newspapers this State resort in order to make the peo ple believe that Col. Kelly has sold him self body and soul to Ilolladay's "grind ing monopolies." "When ingrates are de feated by honesty and justice they always raise a great hue and ciy that the person or the law they opposed by their false hoods, are made to appear to the people os having been made subservient to their interests. The Democratic party of to day, in Oregon stands out in bold relief in favor of the true and best interests of the people. When our delegates assemble from different parts of the State, in Con vention, to nominate State officers, they sometimes adopt platforms that were not the choice of all the Democrats in the State; but when the parly, through its chosen representatives, proclaims it as the articles cf faith, it theu becomes the duty of every Democrat to support and say that it is for the good and greatness of the wtole State. Why may we not say the same of the Legislature? Are they not the chosen representatives of the party, and when they speak in caucus are not theirGproclamalions as binding as any of those set forth in a State Convention ? Ours is a growing State; when the wisdom of the Democratic members have her in terests in charge, they have a right to make known what they I wish to be car ried out by those who are to secure na tional legisation. Because Col. Kelly ha3 seen fit in his wisdom to sign the resolutions adopted by the caucus, he 13 vilified as having basely betrayed the Democratic party and gone in with the corruptionists. The democratic party has always been in favor of different lines of railroads through Oregon, so as to give life to her industry, impetus to her people and greatness to her onward inarch. No word or sentiment has ever been uttered by any Democrat cither on the stump or through the newspapers against the build ing of a "railroad through Southern Or egon. The Democratic party always have the welfare of our commonwealth too much at heart to thus give it a fatal stab, yet we would believe the lying mendi cants, aud perfideous scoundrels who run the radical party we would have te come to the conclusion tluit no friendly feeling o.i hope of cheer had ever been offered to the people of Southern Oregon in giving tv thoroughfare to the other States of the Union. Because 'Messrs. Pengra, Ladd. Shattuck, Lewis and others, all Repub licans are fit to attack Senator Williams' base perfidy and treason in amending a bill, contrary to his professed declarations aud contrary to what ho had assured the advocates of the measure, and because the Democratic press aided these gentle men in establishing Williams'' perfidy, we have been accused cf favoring the Pengra route over the, over the route through Southern Oregon. Col. Kelly, in signing the resolutions of the caucus does not champion the road of Southern Or egon against all others, nor does he go for it contrary to the opinions of the Democratic press as previously passed. We challenge the lialldhi and Ore jonian to mention a single prominent Democrat or Democratic newepaper that has ever been opposed to having a rail road through Southern Oregon and un til they do we brand them as graceless falsifiers. Supreme Court Proceedings. In Supreme Court of the State of Ore gon, September term, 1870. John 0"Reily and Mary O'Reily, his wife, plaintiffs, vs. John Wilson, defendant. This was an action brought by plaintiffs ngainst defendant for carelessly and neg ligently setting up the seats in a circu3 in Clackamas county Inst September, by rt-a- foii whereof the leg of plaintiff, Mary O'Reily, was broke in two places. The case was. tried in the Circuit Court of Clackamas county last March, by a jury who gave the plaint ills a verdict for the sum of $3,000, which verdict the Judge of the Court set aside on the ground that an allegation of accord and satisfaction set tip iu the answer was not sufficiently de nied by plaintiffs in their reply ; from which order of the Judge setting aside said verdict, plaintiffs appealed to -the Supreme Curt. The Supreme Court held, 1st. That the reply wad good and suSi cient under our statute. 2d. That a trial and verdict would cure any defect in the pleadings, except jurisdictional matters. In consequence, jibe order ot Judge Upton setting aside the verdict was reversed, and judgment ordered to be rendered on the verdict In favor of the plaintiffs; against defendant for the amount, to wit : $3,000.- Kelly and Ilnelat argued the ease for plaintiffs in Supreme Court. McCown und Thayer for defendant. G We learn from private letter, aa wo go to press, that the Benton county contest ants for seats in the House and Senate have been successful and are now occu pying their places iu the Legislature as they should have done some time since. Editorial Correspondence. Salem, Sept. 28, 1870. The Legislature has not done much since our last letter. No bills of import ance have been introduced in either House, but considerable work has been done in the committee rooms, and when their labor is completed and ready to be reported back to the House, work will be actively carried on. The House has appointed a committee on the Penitentiary, which we learn i3 in a very miserable and unhealthy condition, and needs some necessary legis lation. Notice has been given in the House cf a proposed introduction of a bill to appropriate money for the erection of an asylum at this place. While we would like to see all our State buildings erected, it will certainly strike the Legislature that our fiuancial condition will not ad mit of any such appropriations at this ses sion. The Radicals have had charge of our State for the past eight years, and with a very high State tax, leave the State warrants worth ninety cents on the dol lar. We are reliably informed that there are not near enough funds in the Treasury to pay the outstanding warrants. BKXTOX COUNTY CONTEST. The most ridiculous occupation of time by the Legislature is in the mitter of the Benton county contest. The House first appointed a special committee of three, w hich took into consideration all the evi dence in the case, and made a report tnereon, when the House refused to ac cept either the majority or minority re port, and ordered the committee to report to the House the papers and evidence in the case, which was done, and on last Tuesday afternoon the case was taken up on motion ot Hon. Geo. Rl Helm. Judge Strahau appeared as counsel for the con testing members, and occupied the atten tion of the House for about an hour, and will probably close his case in another hour. On Wednesday morning Judge Chenoweth commenced the case on be half of the sitting members, and occupied the House the entire day in reading depo sitions and commenting on the evidence as he read it. It is supposed that the Judge will occupy one or two more days in his speech after he closes the reading of the evidence. At 5 o'clock on Wednes day evening the House adjourned to give him a rest until next morning, and if he can get resting spells he will not get through during the session. We do not propose to dictate to the Legislature, but suggest that if the Democratic members will give the Radical minority an oppor tunity they will general the entire session without doing anything. It is their object to delay matters, and if they can consume the session in these contests, they expect to make political capital out of it, and throw the censure on the Democratic party. It makes no difference whether the 'members contesting for their seats gain them through the report of a com mittee or by the judgment of the House after this time has been consumed. The Radicals will be no better satisfied, and they will accuse the Democratic majority of not doing justice in the matter. They are like a criminal. No judgment, no matter how just it may be, if it ousts the Radicals, will satisfy them. While the evidence was being read, those who advo cated the bringing into the House of this matter were absent most of the time. There is no question in our mind but what the evidence which has been brought be fore the committees and the House is amply sufficient to give every Democrat his seat, and ws regard it useless to waste time on the matter. We believe that when a committee, under oath, report to the House that either party are justly en titled to their seats, this will justify-the House to act, and not allow the Radical members to delay the time with useless and pointless arguments from such learned gentlemen as JuJge Chenoweth. TIIK IXACGCKAX AND SENATORIAL 13 ATX. The Inaugural and Senatorial ball last Tuesday evening was the most magnificent affair of the kind that has ever transpired in this State. The distinguished person ages Senator Kelly and wife, and Gov ernor Grover and wife who gave the ball, were both present, and received the heart' greetings of their many friends and invited guests. The ball room was fdled to its utmost capacity. We should judge that one thousand persons must have been present in the early part of the evening. The dancing was kept up until 3 o'clock in the morning ; the music was excellent, and the supper most magnificent. All en joyed themselves very much, and the af fair will be remembered as the grandest and most magnificent that has ever taken place iu Oregon. AMUSEMENTS. The Bird troupe open the Opera House to-morrow. We have not seen the list of talent which is to appear on the occasion. Next Monday the Bates company, which has an established reputation throughout the State, will open for the season what is known as the Wigwam." It is conveni ently arranged, and will undoubtedly be come a fashionable place of amusement. RAILROAD. The railroad commences to run up as far as the Fair Ground to-morrow. The cars leave here after this at C o'clock A. m. We have not learned at what time the af ternoon train leaves. QUESTION OF PRIVILEGE. The Senate has had some cases of privi lege before it this week. The Herald has been accused of making charges against some of the Senators, which, in thoirnnin- ion, demand investigation, and conse quently a committee has been appointed to examine into the matter. The Slales nvm has also received the displeasure of some of the Senators for incorrect reports published of its proceedings. THE INSANE ASYLUM. Many of the members of the Legislature and the committee appointed to report in relation to the Insane Asylum, went to Portland last Saturday and paid a visit to that institution. The visit was a very agreeable one, and think that we express the unanimous opinion of all who went when we say that the institution is a credit to our State, and a source of pride to every man who has any sympathy for the poor unfortunate beings in that establish ment. It is well kept.and we feel assured, not that we desire to advocate the claims of Dr. Hawthorne to the right of keeping these State charges, that the Legislature will consider well before they take them from a place where they are so comfort ably and well provided for. DAXGEKOVSLY I IX. Senator C. M. Pershbaker, from Doug las, Coos and Curry, is lying very ill in this city with consumption, and his death is hourly looked for. The Locks and Canal. While we do not desire to advocate the claims of any particular individual or cor poration to the right of the subsidy for the construction of locks at Oregon City, we feel it our duly to represent the facts of the matter to the members of the Legisla ture. Locks at Oregon City will be of great importance to the Willamette Val ley, and any aid that the Legislature may be able to give for the accomplishment of this object will result beneficially to the entire farming and shipping community, and while it can be made of great benefit to the people, it should be the object of our Legislature to so protect the people from unjust appropriations, or risking the subsidies in hands which will not carry out the object of such subsidies.and whose only purpose is to get the subsidy for speculation. Two years ago a bill was passed giving State aid to the amount of $200,000 to a company to construct locks on the west side oT the river, and the com pany failed to comply with the provisions of the act, thereby forfeiting the State aid; but an effort is again being made to bring into life the act which died by a neglect on the part of the corporators to comply with the provisions of the bill then passed. This bill provides for high rates of toll, and makes it burdensome on the shippers; besides, no one but the corporators who are asking this subsidy will be benefitted by the location of the locks on the west side of the river. On the other hand, there is a bill now pending in the House (which is published in to-day's paper) that asks for a subsidy of $125,000 to construct the locks on the cast side of the river, and the rates of toll are much less than those provided for in the bill for the west side ; besides this, the House bill proposes to give the subsidy to a company already organized, having fine boats, and whose interests are all on the river. The cer- tamty oi tuc construction oi iocks uv a ii . ... j e i reliable and responsible company, if there were no other considerations, should give them a favorable hearing at the hands of the Legislature 5 besides, the people of Oregon City are vitally interested in this matter, while it does not matter to the shippers on which side the locks are con strucled. The west side subsidy is $200, 000, while the Cast side is $125,000 ; the rates of toll on the west side are seventy five cents per ton. and on the east side twenty cents per ton. The west side ben efits no organized communitv, while the east side would benefit the entire people not only of Oregon City, but of Clackamas county, and the locks will be constructed and in operation within the time pre scribed by law. The east side is the natu ral place for the construction of these locks ; much of the work has already been done, and it would cost more for the con struction of the locks on the west side, be sides it would be of no benefit to any one but the corporators, and of great injury to the citizens of Oregon City and Clacka mas county generally. It may be argued that it will create a town on the west side. Such will and cannot be the case. There is no place on the west side to build a town that would be secure from inunda tion and no country which will sustaiu a community or cause the building of a town in opposition to the present. It would destroy an organized and settled business community, while it will not create a new one. The benefits of the locks are so ap parent that it needs no argument to con vince any one that they ought to be con structed. It will put beyond any possi bility any monopoly on the river. Any company, whether with one, two, or more boats, could then come in competition with the present company whenever the business of the valley justified such com petition, and these boats would have the same rights a3 the company's boats which own the locks. When the freights on boats should be two high, the farmers and shippers could combine and with one boat take away to market their own produce. The subsidy which is offered by this bill would be returned to the State, or rather tax-payers and producers, in less than two years by the reduction of freights and a consequent increase in their products. It would relieve the present company from handling the freight through their ware house at Oregon City ; it would facilitate the transportation of freight from Port land up the valley, and where it now takes two days it would be done in one. Now freight that leaves Portland one mcrning has to lay at Oregon City one day, to be transported through the warehouse. With locks, the freight would pass up the river clear to Corvallis on the same day it leaves Portland ; it would save the expense of handling the freight at Oregon City, and also save the expense of the two boats now used in bringing the freight to Ore gon City, as the same boats could carry the freight the entire distance up the val ley. It would save the handling and con sequent damage to freight, and a guard would be thrown about the farmer and COURTESY OF UNIVERSITY shipper which would secure him cheap and speedy transportation. We regard this bill as one of great aud vital import ance to the entire people of the Willamette valley, and while this benefit can be se cured to them at a less cost on the east side, and benefit a settled community, without detriment to any one. we hope the bill will become a law in some shape. There is no argument needed to any one conversant with the location of Oregon City and the interests of the people of that section. And as the bill giving aid to the P. T. Company is less than that for the west side, and the object can be gained for the people of the valley with a less toll, we hope the Legislature will give a favorable consideration for the welfare and benefit of the greatest number of peo ple, especially when the object can be nr 1 r-l ivifli l..,.. ni.l tlian ncl.'AT ln7 n 1 1 1 1.11 IVijO H tlllMLJ 1 J . . V . 'J J u unorganized corporation, and one which failed two years ago to comply with the law giving it State aid. We have written this much on this subject not for the es pecial benefit of the P. T. Company, but for the interest of the people of Oregon City, who have a great and vital interest in this matter, with the hope that the mem bers of the Legislature will properly ex amine the matter. Sarcastic. Judge Chenoweth, the learned counsel for the Benton county sit ting members, was very sarcastic last Wednesday when he was reading the evi dence in the case before the House. He allowed that it was a very serious accusa tion against a man that '"he would be a Democrat before the next election." It is but a short time since this learned counsel considered it a very high honor to be a Democrat, and if the Pemo'cracy were in need of such talent as he possesses, he would be ready to humble himself so low as to bo again called such. But such men as the Judge find their congenial minds in the Radical party, where they belong, but which they would desert at any time and become a IJuchanan-Lecoinpton Democrat for a judgeship even in Washington Ter ritory. Apology. Our correspondence from Salem commence! very abruptly last week. The first page of our letter was lost, which accounts for the matter. Salem Correspondence. Salem, Sept. 20, 1870. This is a Gtp'Jal place to live in, (so the property holders say,) and with no invidi ous comparisons can be called the "most" capital town of Oregon. Some difficulty is experienced by persons arriving here from abroad in getting sleeping apart ments, or, in fact, their " regular grub." Before leaving home your correspondent telegraphed here for rooms and board for himself and family. An answer came that everything was "lovely" "rooms ready" and the goose " passed under the suspension of the rules." After a fatiguing day's ride we arrived, only to find that no particular place had been designated to receive us. A rapid skirmish around town, with an occasional intense and pleasing attack of hunger and thirst.found us snugly berthed in a pleasant family residence. Aside from the clanging of seven huge church bells and the bellow ing of numberless cows in the vicinity, no cause exists for complaint. It is nothing nncornmon every morning to meet an army of men with trunks, valises, buck baskets, reticules, band-boxes, loose hats, gum boots, umbrellas, shawls, overcoats oblong, suspicious looking paper pack ages, infants in arms, etc., rustling around for new quarters. Occasionally you meet an acquaintance, and say : " Hallo, Jim ! when did you get here ? How do you like Salem?" The answer comes quick and sharp : " Oh, Salem be blowed never was bilked so bad in my life. You bet your life I'm going to bring my tent along next pop. No more " straight Sa lem Tor me." Upon an explanation of the matter it seems these pampered sons of luxury" having come here with the be wildering notion of ' beds of down," wait ers, ices, barouches, steam hair brushes, and the like, are incontinently reduced to the plebeian condition of our law makers, " and others." Such a stale of things may be expected to exist until after the ad journment of the Legislature, when Salem will " put in her regular appearance." The Legislature has got down to its regular work, and business is progressing. Some Senators are anxiously waiting for the House to send in the Chinese scalp bill mbuts the tail. Ilendershott.of Union, has an enormous remonstrance, done up in Chinese vernacular, interspersed with mellifluous English, to be sent to the President's chair whenever it comes to the point. Trevitt, of Wasco, has been se lected as interpreter, and will be duly sworn in at the proper time. The House ha3 effectually buried it at present, and insists that whenever it does come up it shall take any shape but that which it is now iu. No gongs, chop-sticks, or Pekin pots are to figure at the accouchement. Should this occur, however, it is proposed that they apply for an " O'Regau irriga tor" with which to overcome the intoler able odor. From present indications the State Fair for 1870 will be a success, as well as a credit to Oregon. The executive commit tee have fixed the rates of licenses as fol lows : Ealing house, or restaurant, $50 ; lager beer, $25 ; lager beer, cider and ci gars, $50 j domestic fruits, $10 ; cider and domestic fruits. $15; coffee, pies and cakes. $25 ; cider, frnits, pies and cakes, $25 ; general license, pies, cakes, cigars, lager beer, cider, etc., $100 ; cigars, $10 ; candy manufactory, $20 ; circti3, per season, $200 ; minstrels, per day, $5 book stall, $25 ; book, map and picture vender, per day, $2.50 ; steam or horse swing, per sea son, $10 ; hand swing, per season, $20 ; stereoscopic instrument, small, per day, BANCROFT LIBRARY, OF CALIFORNIA, $2.50 ; same, large, per day, $G; four-horse conveyance, per term. $25 ; two-horse con veyance, per term, $10 ; single horsemen, per day;. 25c ; one-horse carriage, per day, 50c ; same, per season, $1.50 ; two-horse wagon, per season, $1.50 ; same, per day, 50c : feed fetalis, per season, $20 ; fire works, each exhibition, $15; auctioneers, season, $10. Not enumerated, discretion ary with the committee. Rule 22. No license shall be granted by this Society ori the Fair Grounds for any Dance House, or other improper en tertainment. And any person who shall take out a license to sell anything on the Fair Grounds, and resort to any game of chance in order to t hect sales, or who shall sell, or offer for sale, or give away any article forbidden to be disposed of by said license, shall forfeit his right in said license, and the Marshal shall have power to close up his place of business. From the above rule you will sec that there will be no foolishness going around loose. On Tuesday night the "Inauguration and Senatorial Ball" came off at Reed's Opera House, and was a splendid affair. The following gentlemen had the matter in hand, and they all did their utmost to make this the finest affair of the kind ever seen at the Capital : Committee of Ar rangements John F. Miller, Samuel Bass, Jos. Holman, L. F. Mosher, W. II. Wat kinds. Committee of Invitation John Whitcaker, Jas. D. Fay, Benj. Hayden, Jas Hendersholt, L. Fleischner, A. II. Brown, O. S. Savage, Geo.

London, Sept. 23. It is reported that the theater at Strasburg was set on fire by shells, and zOO persons who bad taken refuge in the building, mostly women and children were burned to death : also that a mob was pillaging the city The news is not confirmed. Kpporis irom vnatteau i emeres.r ranee, via Berlin, say all discipline is vanishing at Paris, fcoldiers are mutinous, and iu some eases have shot their officers. Touks, Sept. 21. The following import ant information has been made juiblic : Count Bismarck demands as preliminary conditions of peace, tti at all fortresses in the Provinces of Alsace and Lorraine be delivered over to Prussia, as well as Fort Dumonl, at the walls of Paris. The Pro visional Government considers these con ditions absolutely iuadmissable, and will immediately address a proclamation to the poorlo of the nation, as well as to am bassadors from foreign countries, exposing the situation and indicating a new means to be taken for national defense. In view of such terms, it is proposed that one of the Ministers will, in form, postpone the election for members of the Constitutional Assembly. Bkussels. Sept. 21 Noon. Bazaine has offered to capitulate at Melz on conditions that he be allowed to take his baggage and arms, and engage not to take up arms for three mouths. Turns, Sept. 2 t. The Ministry has is sued a proclamation to the people stating that Fiance will rather bury herself be neath her own ruins than accept the inso lent conditions of Germany. A dispatch from Tours announces that there are now 180.000 German soldiers in the country surrounding Nantes. The red Hag is still flying at Lyons, and will re main until after the Constitutional As sembly. General Cambrisil is appointed to com mand the army of Bourges. Marseilles and Toulon are preparing for a vigorous defense. New Youk, Sept. 23. An open avowal of the Austrian-Prussian alliance, for com bined action, is understood. A letter from Paris on the evening of the 20th says there is great danger of a revolutionary outbreak there, involving another change of government. The Reds are furious against the present leaders, and express themselves loudly and defi antly against its representative authority. The evident disposition is to seize the Hotel de Ville as the initial step of the rebellious programme. Resistance to their plan will be difficult. It is impossible to say what will be the effect of their obtain ing control of the government, but the people dread pillage and assassination. An armistice now would save the live3 and property of thousands of citizens. Touus, Sept. 21. The following is an official proclamation to Fraice : Prussia wishes to continue the war in order lo re duce France to a second-class power. Prussia demands Alsace and Lorraine as far as Mefz, by right of conquest. Prus sia, before consenting to an armistice, de mands the reduction of Strasburg, Toul and Mont Vollion. Paris is exasperated and will rather bury herself beneath her ruins than submit to such insolent preten sions. We can respond but by resistance to the last extremity. France accepts the struggle and counts upon her children. (Signed,) Ckemieux Gi.am. The Government has issued a decree that all municipal elections, as well as for the Constitutional Assembly.be suspended and adjourned, and. all municipal elec tions which have been effected are an nulled. Prefects will maintain the munici palities or appoint others. London, Sept. 25. The failure of peace negotiations, owing to France declining Prussian terms, has led to the revival of a project for aa European Congress. Lon don journals yesterday evening said that it is sheer nonsense for Prussia to admit of no intervention for the settlement of conditions of peace. If negotiations have really failed, the only alternative is exter mination. Tours, Sept. 25. Ministers Gambetti and Ferry have addressed a note from Paris to M. Cremieux, Minister of Justice, saying : " Should you hoar t'-T-''j sian dispatches that troubles have broken out in Paris, deny it." Beklix, Sept. 25. In the conference be tween Bismarck and Favre, Monday and Tuesday, no demand was made for the surrender of Fort Mout Valerien. near Paris. They endeavored to arrange a truce pending the meeting of the Consti tutional Assembly. Bismarck objected to the surrender of Strasburg, To a I and Ver dun, in order that communication to the German forces might be secure from dan ger during the truce. The French Minis ter declined these conditions. Brussels, Sept. 2G. Throughout yester day the city was in a state of the greatest excitement, in consequence ofthe news of the f Allure of all peace negotiations. The terrible demands of the War Department for men and materials, has awakened a feeling of terror among all classes,-and there is the strongest outspoken convic tion that the real issues, so far as the peo ple are concerned, long since favored the Prussians, and all further hostilities will be little short of murder. The result of this is among the working classes. A special says Bismarck, in behalf of the King of Prussia refused to treat with Favre except regarding an armistice. Mundelsiieim. Sept. 2S. The surrender of Strasbourg was signed at 2 o'clock this morning. Four hundred and fifty-one officers and seventeen thousand men laid down their arms. At S o'clock the place will be occupied by the besiegers. Guardian Notice. State of Oregon, ) Multnomah County.
