Death of a Great Man.
a
The telegraph Jast Thursday brought
the sad news of the death of Gen. Robt.
IL Lee, Comman'dcr in chief of the Con
federate Army in the late ch il war. It is
not our purpose here, to extend remarks
upon Gen. Lee's past life; nor to argue
) O le (lneslin as to justice or injustice of
the cause for which he gave his services ;
and which brought him so prominently
before the world, and developed the fast
of Lis superiority as a genera!, a soldier
and a Christian gentlemen. His life and
history is now the properly of the world,
and it will pass judgment upon llicra, it
willlace his name beyond the reach of
contumely or aspersion. The nation has
produced lew greater men than general
Lee. the grave has seldom covered less
fahlts with the remains of any ote. The
news of his death will bo received by im
partial mankind with sorrow, and his own
countrymen for whom he .spent his last ef
forts, will keep his memory living in the
warmest portion.Ojf their affections. Many
a 3outhern soldier, although hardened and
ecarworn by the heat of many a battle
field, will shed a tear on receipt of the
news of Iho defclh of their cbieftan. The
fair ladies, whose children and firesides he
80 bravely defended while living, will
now that he is dead, at the return, of the
anniversary of his death, visit the place
where rest his remains, and softly place
tficir long renewed token of respect to his
rneiiiory. The universal sentiment will be
"Peace to his ashes. " So gay we.
It has been decided by the Democratic
majority in the Legislature to disfranchise
every man who comes to the State and la
bors -on a railroad or other work cf inter
nal improvement. Orcjonkux.
None but blockheads or idiots would
ever construe the act to mean anything of
the kind indicated in the above extract.
The bill simply provides that no such
Iractice3 as were perpetrated last June
q tlsal" again be repeated without being
subject to punishment. Ben. Holladay's
railroad and his mouey were used to carry
Benton, Clackamas, Multnomah and Yam
bill counties. He voted iviny of his tools
on the line of the railroad in Clackamas
and Multnomah, and it is intended to dis
franchise such men who can be bought
to lay themselves criminally liable, and
nothing more. If a man comes to this
State and remains six months in a county,
lie Las gained a residence m that county,
whether he works on a railroad or other
wise. If he has a residence in a county
(jfcn the Stale at the time ho becomes an
employee on the railroad, he must iu all
q cases-go back to that couuty to vote. The
Orejotiia-n must think the Democracy a set
of fools to think that they propose !o al
low the Radicals another opportunity like
last June. The Radical managers got the
public works all in full operation prior to
he last June election, for the; purpose of
carrying the counties in which these pub
lic fforks are loeated, and as toon as the
elof-fion was over, work on these public
buildings was suspended, with a view, nr
doubt, of resuming again just prior to the
election of 1 872. It is to prevent such
frauds and corruptions as were practiced
O by lien. Holladay in Clackamas county,
t is a notoriou.-fact that over 150 railroad
votes were polled in this ccunty on the
6th of June last, and thus the county was
carried forQhe Radicals,' and the voters
remored from the county within ten days
O after the election to another county on
the line of the railroad. These are some
of the voters this bill proposes to disfran
O chise, and unless a man be an endorser of
the frauds practiced last June, he cannot
object to a bill which simply protects the
honest and legal citizens of our State. We
do not wonder that the Orcyonian objects
to this bill. Nothing would satisfy' that
lwen unless it be giving the Radicals a
lkenso to perpetrate" all the rascality and
irruption they may desire, and thus en
able lliem to gain power.
Robert E. Lee is dead. The country J
which educated and nurtured him and
which he attempted to dustrov. will for
ever have reason to wish that he had never
been born. Oregonian.
0 The above is a fair example of ihe nal-
ice and diabolical hatred which is retained
in the hearts of the Radicals. The name
of Robert E. Lee will be honored and re
specled when such men as the Orconlan
editor wojnld laud will be forgotten and
wiped fri5m the pags of history. No man
bas bceg and is to-day more respected
than Gen. Robt. E. Lee. and in his death
iUe nation has lost a patriot, statesman and
solder, the equal of whom are few, while
his superiors are not among the pre:
?ent
generation, ine w uoie nation lias eane
to mourn his death, and his memory will
be cherished by millions of freemen." The
extract will only serve to bring contempt
on. its author.
The proceedings of the Grand. Lodge of j

Editorial Correspondence.
Sat.ew, Moxdat, Oct. 10.
The contest from Clackamas county
came before the Legislature last Monday
evening, and after a partial examination
of the case, the further consideration was
indefinitely postponed. While the judg
ment of the House is against us, we feel
as though it is our duty to submit. There
were many causes which operated against
our members, the chief of which was the
lateness of the session. The evidence in
the case was conclusive to any one con
versant with the facts, that the Democratic
contestants were entitled to then' seats,
but the lateness of the sessioa when the
case was reached, the House did not go
into such an investigation as the case de
manded, and this was the principal reason
for the action of the House. We do not
think there is any question as to the le
gally elected representatives in our
county. No one believes that the sitting
members received a legal majority of the
voters of Clackamas, and had the chair
man of the committee on Elections been
able to get the Radical members of the
Committee to act earlier, the case would
have been decided in all probability in
our favor. The action of the House does
by no means decide the question who was
elected, but simply, that, as the session
was nearly ended, it was of little conse
quence who filled the seats from that
county for the remainder of the session
The only objection we have to the result
of the contest, is that the legal voters of
Clackamas county have again been de
frauded of what belonged to them, by
right. Elsewhere we publish Mr. Beatie's
speech on this question. It is an aide ar
gument, and we submit the speech to the
readers. In the course of the discussion
on this contest. Mr. Paquet from Clacka
mas county and one of the sitting mem-
bers, took occasion to allude to a young
man in Oregon City, in very disrespectful,
and we might say disgraceful lengnage
for a man w ho is supposed to have honor
and integrity enough to hold a seat in the
Legislature. As far as his assertion is
concerned, we have every reason to be
lieve that the young man's standing for
vcrascity is as good as the gentleman
from Clackamas ; and we do not believe
that the said young man would ever con
descend to bring his family relations be-
fore a Legislative assembly and speak as
disrespectful of them as did the honorable
renresntative from Clackamas.
The Legislature is pushing forward its
labor to rapid completion, and we believe residence. I reply that as his employ
that they will be nearly ready to adjourn ment at Oregon City was by the Stage Co.,
by next Saturday. They may hold until if he did not lose a residence by reason
next Tuesday or Wednesday, but we of the employment he did not gain a res-
have no idea that it will require an extra
session, as the members feel interest
enough in the wellfare of the State to re
main and close up the business.
The most important bills which have ing the election held June Cth, 1870.

police
commissioner. ine Kuuicais
fought the bill wtih all the force they
could brinsr to bear, but it was of
no avail. A very interesting fight oc
curred over the passage of the election
fraud bill. The Radical members did all
in their power to amend it at first, and
finding that would not succeed, they
fought the bill on its passage. A bill also
passed which provides for all steamer or
vessels hailed from the signal post at the
mouth of the Columbia river, by the tug
boat, must take on a pilot, or pay half
pilotage. This was a sti ike at Ben Holla-
day, and those who who he elected to the
Legislature did their part well to defeat
thc measure, but it was useless.
The bill proviidng for a subsidy of
S200.000 for the construction of locks on

second reading in the House, and referred

pressed ourselves against the passage of
this bill to tha injury of Oregon City,

Speech, of C. F. Beatie.
The following is the speech made by
Mr. C. F. Beatie in the House of Repre
sentatives of the Legislature of Oregon,
on the Clackamas county contest :
Mn. Speaker : I propose to take up
first, what we allege to be illegal votes
cast for the sitting members. Messrs.
Starkweather, Apperson and Paquet. in
Oregon City Precinct, and first afcong
these I take the name of J. S. McDotf
aid, who testified himself. That' he has
been in the employment of the "Woolen
Manufacturing Company, at Oregon City,
for about eighteen months prior to June
Oth 1870. Tbat lie owned real property
at Brownsville, Linn county, Oregon,-and
that his family resided at Brownsville,
Linn County, Oregon, from JSCS until
after June Cth, 1870. and that he had no
definite intention to make Oregon City his
home v.rA after June Cth, 1S70. conse
quently not a bona fide resident of Clack
amas County, at the last general election
under the law rrquiiing a bona fide res
idencein'the county for 90 da js next
preceding the election, J. S. ?-kLonald.
was not a legal voter. He further tes
tifies that the judges of the city elec
tion Oregon City in May, 1S70, just one
month before the general election, told
him that he had no right to vote and yet
without any change of inlention his vote
is taken June Cth. 1S70. In the next
place, I take up the testimony of James
Kennedy, relating to his residence in
Clackamvs County. "lie also had been in
the employment of the Woolen Manufac
turing Co., at Oregon City,fjr a period of
15 monihs prior to the election held
on Cth June, 1670. He also owned real
property at Brownsville, Linn Counly,
Oregon, where his family resided until
the 11 lb. May. May, 1870. He further says
he could say ,that he had an intention to
make Oregon City his home for 00 days
next preceding the election. JnneGth 1870.
and according to the law before men-
Honed was not a legal voter.j
Next, Philip Miller testifies in substance
as follows : He has lived at Oregon City
since 186G : "was in the employment of Ihe
Stage Co., left Oregon City Dili Jan., 1870;
drove the stage, stopping one night in
Salem and one night in Portland, until
21st March, 1870 ; remained in Salem
from 21st March until Gth May, 1870 then
came to Oregon City. Mr. Starkweather
.argued that employment by the Stage Co.
was being in the services of the United
States, consequently he would lose his
idence thereby. Hold that he was not a
resident of Clackamas from Oth Jan., 1S70,
and hence was not a resident bona fide
of said county for 90 days next preceed-
uant. Leo. lease ic.-uines m suo-
stance as follows, to-wit : He is master
1
of a steamer, lives part ot the time in
Portland and part ot the time in Oregon
Citv. That his family lived in Portland
the greater part of the time for the six
months next preceding the Cth June. 1870.
S. E. Stone testifies substantially as fol
lows, to-wit : He is keeping the books at
the Phrenix Hotel, Oregon city, he says J.
i5. Robinson came to Uregon lity April
III, 1870, from Portland, then commenced
work for the Railroad Co.; also that Owen
Boyle came to Oregon City April 20th.
1870, from the Asylum at East Portland
where he had been all winter, then com-
menced work for the Railroad Co.; also,
that Chas. May came to Oregon City.
March 9ih. 1870, had been taking his din-
ners at" the hotel for two or thrce weeks;
was brakesman on the cars ; said he came
from tke Central Pacific Railroad.
Stone testifies that Joseph Pecard regis
tered his name at the Phrenix hotel, April
2Cth. 1870, a railroad hand. This makes
nine votes in Oregon City for Stark
weather, Apperson and Paquet. Judge
of their right to vote under the .aw re
quiring 90 days bona fide residence.
Peter A. Weiss, testifies in substance as

Tli ere are nine votes improperly cast
fur the sitting -members and one nnprop-

cinct.
I now fake up the votes polled m Cane-
1 1 . ' . t r(
mah precmct, Ciaciiamas Co., June LtL.
iq-q
j. K. Bingman testifies substantially as
follows : That he has resided in Canemah
for 18 years and that the 29 persons in
" 5nct who vottMl lbe i?l.pnbHcan
tb-ket June f.tli. 1870, whose uanu-s appear
j on exhibit (A) a part of the testimony in
this case') are not permanent residents
They have neither homes nor dwelling
houses of their own iu the precinct, and
have only such residence as they acquired
by stopping in the tents or camps of the
the Railroad Company by whom they were
employed. They were known as railroad
hands.
I. now take up the votes polled in
Marshfield precinct, Clackamas coumy
June 6. 1870.
Wm. G. Welch testifies in substance as
follows : That he has lived m Marshfield
nrerinet. Clackamas Co.. except 2 or ,
years, since 1815, and that be is acquainted
with all the permanent settlers thereof and
that the eighteen persons in said precinct
who voted the Republican ticket on oih
June, whose names appear on exhibit
' B : (a part of the testimony in this case)
are not permanent settlers there, they
have no dwelling houses or places of
abode cf their owa in said precinct, and
have' only such residences as they ac
quired by stopping in the tents and camps
of the railroad Co., bv whom they were
employed. They were known as railroad
hands. The testimony of Mr. Welch who
voted, as he himself testifies, for the Re
publican members from Clackamas Co.
is confirmed by the testimony oi Wm.
Linn and William Ryan.
William Linn testifies that he was em-,
ployed by the Railroad Co.. and that the
-ninlovees of said Co.. arc required by
virtue'of their contract to go on the order
of the Company to any part of the line of
the railroad from precinct to precinct aim
even from countv to county, as the rail
road extends through several Counties.
Residence is a qr.estion o.f intention and
of fact. The law requires 'a bona fide res
idence of "CO davs in the county. Under
this law a man must hate a present inten
tion to make his home in the county, and
must actually reside there for GO days
next immediately precceding the election
to be a qualified voter, ami I maintain
from the evidence that not one of the
47 voters in the two precincts (Canemah
& Marshfield) before mentioned ever had
a bona fide residence for a single day of
the 90 days next proceeding the Gth June,
1870.
Mr. Starkweather asserts that the evi
dence introduced by contestants, as to the
17 voters is indirect, and that they might
easily have obtained . direct testimony.
I reply that some of the persons cited by
contestants tt apperr and give testimony
were instructed by counsel for Apperson
(sitting member) to tender back their fees
are refuse to appear and give evidence
which instruction they followed.
Take the ruling of tire Court, two years
airo in Clackamas Co.. in the contest for
the. sheriffalty, in the case of X Mr". Taylor
who voted the Democratic ticket. Mr.
Taylor came from Polk Co., to Clackamas
Co., in the month of Feb-, proceeding the
election permanently settled there in the
early part of April of that year, remained
till election, 18(58, and still resides there
yet becanse he could not date his inten
tion to become a resident for the full 90
days next precceding the election his vote
was thrown out. Now apply lhi3 rule to
all and each of the 47 Totes in Canemah
and Marshfield precincts, and they should
be thrown out. These 47 voles added to
Ihe ten votes in Oregon City make .7,
which deducted from Starkweather's vote
717. the highest on ihe legislative ticket
will leave COO. three less than the smallest
vote received by any of contestants, which
is CC3. giving a majority of three in fevor
of contestants.
I maintain that by counting the 57 votes
for the sitting members the will of a ma
jority of the bona fide residents and legal
voters of Clackamas is thwarted and we
ask this house to apply the remedy.
STATE HEWS.
The ITvrald says :
The other morning Mr. Scott, who lives
on what is known as the East Claim, about
two miles and one-half from this city,
treed and killed a large black bear and
her cub. The bear weighed about two
hundred pounds, and was sold to the
Uunion Market in this city, where no
oubt all the lovers of " bar meat can
have a k.'c of this delicacy. Ihe prox-
imity of her bear?Lip to the metropolis oT
Oregon was quite close and she had at the
time of her di'iuino no doubl been quite
familiar with tha buy hum of the city,
the chimes of the church bells and the
shrill whistles of thu steamboats and lo
comotives. W. F. Eoardmnn, a gentleman for many
years connected with tbe California press,
has assumed control of the local columns
of the Balldln. Mr. Beaman, late local
editor of that paper, leaves in a few days
for the Eastern States.
J. F. Kidder, foi merly Superintendent
of the Oregon and Railroad, left last
Thursday with a large corps of assist
ants, for the purpose of locating the
line of the Northern Pacific - Railroad,
between Portland and Olynipia.
The Oregouian says:
Last Sunday morning Capt. "Fisher
came down to ihe winirt where he had
eft his steamer the pioneer of all river
cralt tne Jutg'e, on fcaturuay night, but
she was nowhere lo be seen. Search be
ing instituted revealed ihe fact she had
sunlv lo the bottom, during the night.
Her ti'jper works came to the surface after
grappling irons had been applied. Work
men were employed durins ihe dav in
raising the hull, which is of iron, but they
met with very poor success. Another ef
fort to get the hull and machinery up will
be made to-d:tv.
The Eagle has been ''bailed out" and
Is now ready for her upper works. The
cause ot Ihe steamer sinking, was that
the tide left her hanging to the wharf.
and her stern line parted.
The Mountaineer says :
A new route has just been opened be
tween Toano. on Ihe Union Pacific Rail
road, and Boise City, making the distance
fifty-seven miles shorter than any other
route. The wagon road was lo be com
pleted by the first of this month.
Heeling of Grand Lodge.
Bai.timork, Sept. 21. In the Grand
