Oregon Oily, Oregon ,

VVhat the Legislature Should do-
The minds of the people of Oregon arc
now filled with apprehensions as to what
gof-d to the public welfare the assembled
wisdom at Salem will produce. Certainly
Qhere is a great amount of beneficial legis
lation that ought to be considered if we
"want to redeem our pledges to the people
andlace our State on the road to re
newed prosperity, for when the public
good is well taken care of our citizens
will prosper, and all will be en the high
road to successnd happiness.
Among the many things that should be
carefully thought of by the sitting Legis
lature is the passage of a bill to lock the
falls at this place. This will ifot be local
in its character, but all who live this side
of the Umpqua river would experience its
results, and if this should be done no
lieartless company can control the com
merce of the Willamette river or valley,
provided the State has the control of the
building of them, as is contemplated.
Boats of all kinds can be loaded with pro
duce anywhere on the Willamette and
landed at the wharves in Portland and
-elsewhere without the trouble and cost of
unloading and reloading. The farmer
who has his little flouring mill by the river
Q p & J
side willbe as much the lord of the beau
tiful Willamette as the princely capitalist
who steams by in Lis coolly boat. Freights
will be lower, and the farmers of the val
ley will correspondingly be benefitted in
the greater gains on the result of their in
dustry. The necessaries of life can be
procured at a less cost, for where opposi
tion is, high freights cannot prosper, and
opposition steamers will no longer have
to pay tribute to the P. T. Company's
monopoly on account of not being able
-to pass their freight over the falls as cheap
as they. But the greatest reason why the
Tieg'ie'lature should take immediate action
on this measure is that the navigation of
the river before very long, wc fear, will
be in the hands cf Qjen. llolladay. and
then there can be no opposition to what
Oever pricey he may see fit to charge by
boat or rail ; but if locks are built, he can
no more stop the commerce of the Wi
lamette valley from reaching the markets
at greatly reduced prices than he can pre
vent the thundering of the waters as they
plunge into the Tasin of the river below.
The Legislature ought to do something
with the immenseQlebt that was saddled
upon the State during the lutescivil war
by an incompetent executive in violation
of the -express provisions of the Constitu
tion. Bounty and relief bonds were issued
against the State to the amount of $230,0;)D
to gratify the vanity of one A. C. Gibbs
when the Constitution says that the Stale
.shall not go in debt to a greater sum than
-650,000. We do not believe that the re
mainder of these bonds (SIOG.OOO) should
O be pQid, for they were issued without au
thority of law in derogation of the rights
of the people of this Slate, and we would
recommend that the present Legislature
take some steps to leave the question to
the people in their sovereign "Capacity
whether they are willing to pay the re
mainder of this huge swindle.
The Gordian Knot of the Chinese ques
tion ought to be cut now, if the people
ever expect to keep the State from being
overrun with the inhabitants of the flowery
.Kingdom. Some Alexander is needed
-who will rise and rid the people of this
coast with a curse as great as any that
ever passed over Egypt. Now is the ac
cepted time. Undying fame awaits him
who can steer clear of treaties and drive
from our shores these national pests.
$he American Stock Jo'jnx.vr.. The
beniflcence of an all-wise providence, in
so organizing man. as to secure him do
minion over animals of inferior physical
construction, imposes on him the obliga
tion to exercise that eminent advantage in
a spirit of mercy, and in mitigation of the
pains and disorders of the brute creation.
In order to be prepared to do this in a
;proper way, every farmer and stock-raiser
should subscribe for the American Slock
Journal, which is published by X. P. Rover
& Co.. Parkesburg, Pa., at the low price
.of $1-00 a year, and as an extra induce
ment they offer to send the remaining

Editorial Correspondence
Wednesday, Oct. 5.
Both branches of the Legislature have
gone fairly to work, and some important
measures are being disposed of. The
Benton county contest has been settled in
bothlhouses by the admission of the con
testants, Messrs. Calloway and Carlile in
the lloase, and Judge Strahan in the Sen
ate. The evidence produced in this case
showed that the board of canvassers had
rejected six legal votes for the contest
ants, and that thirty-six imported votes
were polled for the sitting members which
the Legislature rejected. The case tor the
contestants was argued in both branches
by Judge Strahan, and his arguments
were conclusive in favor of the contest
and showed that the Democrats had a
clear majority of 1-3 to 18 legal votes,
and on this proof the members were ad
mitted to their seats. The evidence in
this case showed that the Radicals had
carried on a regular system of importa
tions for the purpose of defeating the
will of the people of Benton county, and
the Legislature have but done their duty
in niacin r their condemnation on such
dishonest practices. The Radicals were
very anxious to have the members placed
on record on this subject, and Mr. Helm,
very appropriately told them that he de
sired ail placed on the record, and that
record would be handed down to future
generations as a warning to all who seek
to prostitute the sacredness of the ballot
box by the nefarious practice of import
ing votes to defeat the legitimate will of
the people.
A bill providing for the proper mark
ing of salmon when packed, has passed
both houses. It provides for all persons
packing salmon to place their names on
the barrel, when packed and whether
spring or fall catch, with penalties for
neglecting.
A resolution has passed to-designate the
Rogue River Railroad Company as the
Company entitled to receive the grants
of land to which has been or may here
after be made for the construction of the
Humboldt road. A resolution was also
passed asking our representatives and
senators to use their efforts to procure a
grant for what is known as the Pengra
route. These two resolutions elicited
much debate, and were argued by the
advocates for the respective roads, in an
able manner.
The resolution of Mr. Starkweather,
which asks Congress to divest the 500.000
acres of land given to the State for the
purpose of internal improvements to the
irreducible school fund, occupied the at
tention of the House the greater part of
last Tuesday, and was argued ably on
both sides. The resolution was finally
passed by yeas 25 and nays 21. Else
where we publish the arguments of Messrs
Helm and Hare, the principal speakers on
their respective sides. Mr. llayden made
a very able speech in favor of retaining
the lands for internal improvements as
originally designed by the act giving the
lands to the State.
Starkweather
made a very able argument in favor of
the division of these lands.
An important bill has passed the Sen
ate, and which will undoubtedly pass the
House, taxing unnaturalized foreigners.
It provides for taxing all persons unnatu
ralized or who have not declared their in
tention to become naturalized. This bill
is intended to reach the Chinamen, and it
is our opinion that it will accomplish the
desired end.
The Yamhill county contest will be re
ported to-morrow, and from what we can
learn, the report will be in favor of the
contestants, which report will, as it un
doubtedly should be adopted by the
House. The Clackamas county will prob
ably be decided this week, and if justice
is dune in the matter, our members will
receive their seats. The House has al
ready decided by its vote in the Benton
county case, not to allow such practices
as were perpetrated in our county in im
porting voters to carry the election
against the legal and legitimate citizens
of the county.
ABSENTEES.
It is a remarkable fact that the Marion
couuty members are most always noted
among the absentees, and their votes are
invariably cast against the majority on all
questions. Marion county might as well
Lave no members. Mr. Quhnby of Mult
nomah is also notorious for his absence.
A'lAINST REDUCING FEES.
A bill has passed the .House providing
for reducing the fees in Umatilla and
Wasco counties to the same rate now re-
j ceived next ot the Cascade Mounlains.
On the passage of this bill, the represen
tative from Clackamas, Mr. Starkweather,
voted against the bill. He was the only
member in the House who voted against
its passage. What his reasons were for
voting against a bill so universally de-
manded by the people of that section

A KNOCK DOWX.
Mr. Patterson met James O'Meara last
Thursday on the street and without cere
mony gave him a salute that brought him
to the ground. This forcible argument
was in reply to a slanderous ai tide which
appeared in the Lulldin of the day pre-
, ,
one hurt. James took the precaution to
fortify himself behind the form of a large
man and thus preserved his carcass for
some one else to wipe iheir feet on.
DISTINGUISHED DEATHS.

Saturday W. A. K. Mellen, assistant asses

Mr. M. was well known through this val

family and many friends to mourn his
death. Last Wednesday morning, at 2
o'clock, Senator Pcrshbacker, of Douglas",
died in this city. He has been confined
to his bed ever since he arrived in this
city, and his death has been looked for
the past ten days. He has no relations
here, but his colleague Mr. Lockhart, has
given him every attention of a friend and

Epctca of Ken. Gso. Ft. Helm.
The following is the speech of Hon. Geo.
R. Helm, delivered in the House last Tues
day, when the resolution was under con
sideration asking Congress to divert cer
tain lands to the school fund :
Mr. Speaker : Before a vote is taken
upon the memorial or resolution now
pending, I desire in my own feeble way
to give the reasons which shall control my
vote and action with reference to it. This
resolution, sir, goes to the merits and will
affect in a strong degree a system of legis
lation which has already or is about to be
entered upon, affecting materially the
commercial interests of the people of this
State, and especially the people of the
Willamette valley. . I refer to the opening
of the Willamette Falls at Oregon City.
The resolution or memorial under consid
eration is one addressed to the Congress
of the United States asking that the Gov
ernment shall, at this late day. consent
that the 500,000 acres of land granted to
the State in pursuance of tbe act of Con
gress of 1811, shall in our case become a
basis for a fund to be called the Common
School Fund. Permit me to say, sir. that
I approach the question appreciating fully
the interest I ought to take, and hope that
I do take, in behalf of the people of the
whole State. Especially do I feel and re
cognize my responsibility to that portion
whose representative I am. 1 shall now
advance directly to the question before
us. The act of Congress of 1811, by which
grants of land are made to the States, or
to certain States, was passed before I was
born. I understand it only by reading it,
as I find it on the statute books of the
United States, and as 1 construe it by its
history and its surrounding circumstances.
I may be permitted to state my under
standing of the reasons why this grant of
500.000 acres should have been made to
the States. It goes back and involves to
some extent the national policy and the
national politics at that time. During the
last administration of Jackson, if not be
fore and since, the Democratic party took
a strong position against a system of ex
travagant internal improvements within
the States on the part of the general gov
ernment. The Democracy of the nation
took the position that the public treasury
should not be drained in the building up
of a particular State at the expense of the
other States. The rights and powers of
the States, and the limitations imposed
upon the Government by the States which
formed it, was at that time well under
stood and defined, and everywhere recog
nized. In making the grant of land for
internal improvements, as was done by
the act of 1841, there was accomplished
indirectly, so to speak, what the polic' of
the Government forbid being done di
rectly. In other words, it was a bonus to
the States. It was equivalent to saying
to the newly admitted State, " You have
now laid aside your infancy and territorial
vassalage, and have put on the habili
ments of Statehood, and out of the public
lands lying within your boundaries is
granted to you 500.000 acres for internal
improvements within your borders for
the development of your resources, and
the advancement of your general pros
perity.'' When our proud young State
was admitted info the Union on an equal
footing with the original States, and took
her place In the beautiful coronet of States,
that indeed was a proud day for Oregon I
In the formation of our State Constitution
we evidently recognized the fact that the
500,000 acres grant was for internal im
provements, but perhaps desired that it
should become a part of the common
school fund, otherwise we would not have
asked Congress to consent that it might
be diverted to the common school fund.
And the question arises, did Congress
upon our admission, or at any time since,
give consent that such diversion should
be made? This is the main point. The
gentleman from Clackamas (Mr. Stark
weather) and the gentleman from Wash
ington (Mr. Hare) in their arerumcnt as
sume that silence on the part of Congress
was full consent that the lands granted for
internal improvements should be set over
and become a common school fund. I
dissent from the views expressed by both
gentlemen, and maintain that the grant
made was for the purpose of infernal im
provements wit,un our state only, and
COURTESY OF BANCROFT LIBRARY,
TJTTV!ra.qTTV DTT P. SLTTHPHTA
..in jmuijiimninii,1
that it remains so to this day. The silence
of Congress in this case was equivalent to
saying to the people of Oregon" TEe Jo
not consent to the proposition you make
concerning the public lands. Congress
does not consent to anything by silence.
As well might you say that Oregon would
have been admitted inio the Union upon
her application and presentation of her
Constitution if Congress had been silent
when we made the demand. But Con
gress was not silent on the point of our
admission. Consent in this case was re
quired, and consent was given. How was
it given ? Was it by mere silence ? No !
Go search the law ; you will find no assent
by silence theie ; on the contrary, it will
be seen that consent by Congress to our
admission was given by significant ex
pression, such as no one can misunder
stand. It was given by solemn enactment
in the voice of law, and spread in fullness
on the statutes of the United States as the
only consent that Congress could give to
our admission as a State, to endure as
long as shall the Federal Union. So Con
gress would have consented to the diver
sion ot th'us grant of public land if consent
had been iutetrtled. But in addition to
this. I would call attention to the fact that
this same proposition was discussed at the
time we sought admission. "We were not
admitted without, effort. This very propo
sition to divert this grant was an objection
with some who had votes to cast. The
meagerness of our population was an
other objection. We had to rely upon
Southern votes for our admission. The
South had taken a strong position against
Kansas at that time, which placed Ihemto
some extent in opposition to Oregon.
They were pledged on certain questions.
ThuWIistlr.guished statesman of the South,
Alex. II. Stephens, had championed the
right of Oregon to admission, and when
pressed to require, if possible, the consent
of Congress to the diversion of the land
grant, he said, if I mistake not, in sub
stance : "You have got to rely on South
ern votes for your admission, and if you
insist too strongly that Congress shall
consent to your desire with reference to
the grant and its diversion, you will de
stroy your prospects altogether and we
were admitted by eleven votes, some of
whom were won by that most masterly
speech of Mr. Stephens in behalf of Ore
gon, leaving the matter of diversion of the
500.0.10 acres of land to remain in silence.
Again, we have been a State for neatly
twelve years, during which time the State
has been represented in Congress by men
of both political parties, and at no time
Las any one applied to asked Congress to
still consent to the diversion of these lands.
I conclnde, then, and am satisfied that the
500.000 acres of land granted to the State
was intended by the Government, and
stands to-day, for the purpose of internal
improveriKMit. If, then, I am correct in
my views that this land is intended for in
ternal improvements, the question natu
rally comes up, shall we use any portion
of it for this purpose? I think we ought.
I think we would be warranted in doing
so, being careful at the same time not to
fritter it away not to waste or squander
it in wild and useless enterprises. But 1
would be willing to vote a part of this
fund toward opening the Willamette river,
that the commerce and trade of ihis val
ley might pass through it free from the
extortion and tolls that monopolies al
ways impose. The people of this valley
demand this. The people of Linn county.
I know, demand the opening of that river,
and they demand it, sir, in tones that no
representative of theirs can fail to under
stand, and they will sustain their mem
bers on this floor in their action to-day.
Gentlemen have had much to say about
common schools, education, A:c., and ap
parently assume that every one who does
not accord with this resolution is, there
fore, opposed to education. This is an
unfair assumption, from which I dissent.
I would go as far as would either tbe gen
tleman from Clackamas or the gentleman
from Washington in preserving, fostering
and building up the interests of education.
I would favor as much as any one the
building up of institutions of learning,
houses of worship, and temples of justice,
and all else that contributes to make a
prosperous, free and happy State. In my
desires in this behalf I have no fears of
being excelled. But because of all this
there is no reason why the infernal im
provement fund shall not be wisely and
judiciou.-ly used for the purposes for
which the grant was intended. I shall
vote against the resolution.
Thrilling Adventure. On Saturday i
last, as Mr. Andrew Urquhart, of Lewis
county, was going out from dinner, his at
tention was called by three cougars, abou t
thirty yards distant, coming toward him
on a slow trot and growling in a tierce
manner. Mr. Urquhart being entirely
unarmed, halloed at them, but finding that
they did not slacken their pace, turned
and made for the house, whereupon all
three of the cougars made chase at tbe top
of their speed. Mr. Urquharfs dog met
them near the house, when the foremost
cougar was within a few feet of him. This
disconcerted the cougars so that he was
able to escape into the house, barely elud
ing them as he passed in. as they had re
sumed the chase immediately. Arming
himself he killed all three in four shots.
As they were very lean and lank he opened
them, and to his horror found a piece of
a human skull with the hair yet on it, no
doubt secured from some Indian grave, as
no one is known to be missing. He like
wise found in one of them a strip of strong
cloth two inches wide and ten inches long.
We are indebted to Mr. Horace Howe for
this information, who obtained it direct
from Mr. Urquhart himself. This is six
teen of these animals killed by him in that
vicinity. This last adventure is something
extraordinary, as nothing of the kind has
ever occurred like it before. O'ympia
Calem Correspondence.
Salem, Oct. G, 1S70.
Since my last we have been treated to
a nice rain storm. hile some predict a
continuance ad libitum, others think the
storm simply a " settler" for the benefit of
distant persons who are desirous of at
tending the annual Stale Fair, commenc
ing on Monday next, the 10th. Our sym
pathy is in favor of a cessation of hostili
ties on the part of the stormy brigade, so
that the remotest farming, stock and agri
cultural interests shall be fully represented
in this, the most extensive Fair yet given
in Oregon. By reference to my former
letter it will be seen that great caution
has been exercised to not only make this
exhibition successful pecuniarily, but to
make it creditable in every particular, so
far as it conduces to the reputation of tbe
State. Of course the test of pudding is
the eating thereof," and we will not spe
cify now what, when or how the pro
gramme will differ from our present no
tion. Suffice it to say that the managers
will do their best to make a nice showing
of how close they have attended, and will
attend, to the duties devolving upon
them.
An incident occurred here the other
morning which may affect, indirectly,
some interests of exhibitors of young (very
young) cattle. The story runs thusly : A
well known young gentleman temporarily
located here, started at an early hour the
other morning to visit a friend in the
suburbs to eat a bunch of grapes before
breaklast, chat about the day's business,
etc. "Wending his way hither, he passed
a cottage yard in which was a calf that
wrs tightly enveloped in a coil of rope
fastened to a strap around its neck, the
animal being in a suffocating condition.
Our friend, the man with the big heart,"
jumped over the fence and attempted to
unfasten the rope. This he could not do,
so he took out his pocket knife and cut
the strap which was choking the beast.
Just after performing this humane act, the
owner stepped out of his house In hij night
clothes, saying :
' What the d 1 are you doing there
with my call VJ
" Why, the calf was choking' to' death
and I thought I would save him, that's
all."
" Oli. that's very well to talk. We know
you Portland thieves, we do. and we don't
propose to be robbed, we don't. That
strap cost me four bits, and you thought
to get off with it, but I caught you. You
can't "roll'' anybody around here, stran
ger, and the sooner you leave here the
better."
As soon as our young friend could re
cover from his astonishment he intimated
to the brutal owner of the brute that if he
would come out into the street he would
put a beautiful head on him" for his
diabolical inuendoes." The party own
ing the calf disappeared within his domi
cil, while the disgusted philanthropist
pursued his way unmolested. If you
want to disturb his equanimity about tak
ing early morning walks, ask him how he
likes the new dish, " deviller veal cutlet. "
About that railroad trip we will discuss
(or cuss") at another time.
GOA EKNOtt's KEfEI'TION.
On Tuesday evening Gov. G rover held
a general reception at his residence. These
receptions are of an entirely social char
acter, and not connected with political af
fairs. We noticed a number of prominent
Republicans present, who seemed to en
joy themselves as much as the political
friends of our popular Governor. The
inauguration ball was commented upon
by party journals as a one-sided affair, or,
more particularly, a political ball. The
Governor and Col. Kelly (U. S. Senator
elect) were severely scored on that ac
count. The Governor's reception on
Tuesday evening put a damper on such a
supposition. If Senator Kelly should give
a private party reception like Governor
Grover's, there is no doubt that every per
son, regardless of party, would bo wel
come within his doors.
THEATRICAL.
The " New Oro Fino Theater" opened
on Monday evening to a large audience,
in the Wigwarn building on Commercial
street. Mr. Bates, the manager, has
brought a fine company here, which will
do up the legitimate tragedy, comedy and
burlesque business in the very best style.
Mrs. Bates is well known on the coast as
a first-class soubreile actress as well as in
the utility line. Mr. Bates is an actor and
manager of acknowledged merit, and will
attract anywhere. The Pixley sisters are
a power in the theatrical line. Annie
(the oldest) is a beautiful girl and en
dowed with attractions that will "draw"
to any place of amusement. The next
sister. Minnie, has a great many qualities
that will be appreciated by theater goers.
The little girl Lucy is yet to be devel
oped. Vinson. Melville. Clinton, and
others of the troupe are well known on
this coast and deserve no complimentary
mention. The Bird theatrical troupe now
playing at Reed's Opera House are doing
a slim business. Mrs. Bud. the manager
ess, seems o have been unfortunate in the
selection of her company.
MISCELLANEOUS.
A Cheap-John" daily publication
known as the Visitor, has frantically
pitched into Col. Fulton. Representative
from Wasco county, for the past few days,
which the Colonel has properly repelled.
Although the Colonel has had cause for a
severe invective against the publication
of such a report of his speech, he simply
responded in a humorous way, which was
very sarcastic.
The Cbemeketa Hotel is being rapidly
finished. The ' Mansard" roof ought to
have been done up in light brown or shite
style, instead of the " dirty blue," which
Is now evident, as every one knows who
is posted on such matters.
The cars which leave East Borland at
7 o'clock a. .m. reach here a little before
12 m. The distance is about 53 miles,
which will show a speed of say 11 miles
an hour. The slowest road we ever heard
of was 2lh miles per hour, and that mostly
over trestle-work. What's the matter?

The Little ConroiiAL We have re-

one of the best juvenile publications now
issued. Its terms, too, are so reasonable
that it lies within the reach of every fam
