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.

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

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

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

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.

Et'UOPE AVAR KEAVS.
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.
