NOTICE TO LITiUAXTS.
The EsTsnrnTSE having beon designated
by Governor Grover as the offkial organ
for Clackamas county under the "Litigant
Act." we give notice that we are prepared
to comply with the terras of said act-
"Farms for the Boys-"
There is a move being made by parlies
icterested to have the Indian Reservation
at Grand Rondo,- bi Yamhill county, and
other, vacated. An up valley paper
says that ibis is desirable, as it will give
" farms to the boys' The Oregonlan
takes exception to this, and argues that
me sons nave no right to these lands, as
their fathers should be forced to divide
np their farrasQwii.il the boys. It, is natu
ral for a paper in (he interest of monopo
lists and land grabbers to take this post
tion. The move to vacate these reserva
tions h put on foot by the railroad land
grabbers, and should they bo ablo to ac
complish their object.
these beautiful
tracts will be claimed a3 a legitimate in
-
heritance of these corporations, to the ex
clusion of actual and hona, fide settlers.
The Ortgonian says that these lands may
s well be used for reservations as to
throw them open for "farms for the boys.'7
This shows that the. editor of that paper
has a preference for the Indian. TJut this
is not the cause of his objections to the
" boys" having farms. When the reserva
tions ale vacated, and the people in Yam
hill anff Polk will see these beautiful
lands withdrawn from market for the bent-fit
of the land grabbers, they will realize
the magnitude of the present system of
favored legislation, and while the Ore
gonlan objects to having these lands occu
pied by " farmers' boys"' on account of
their fathers not culiivatyig their present
large tracts, that paper can sce'no evil in
these lands being withdrawn from market
nd given to rich corporations to bold
find speculate upon, and place them be
3'ond the reach of poor men. This is what
m expeett d
to become of these rescrva-
ti-dTls. and the moment
tho bill is passed
tt vacate the Grand Ronde Reservation,
that moment Ben. Ilolladay will have the
lands on that spot withdrawn from mar
ket, and they become the properly of the
railroad onipany, either under the east
cr west side grant. The Oregonlan takes
this early opportunity to prepare the
minds ol the people for the change to
come, and knowing that ths lands will be
grabbed up immediately, it attempts to
forestall the public indignation which will
follow such proceedings. The people
of Oregon have no more rights to their
public lands. They are at the mercy of
corporations, anl not subject to actual
settlement. Jt is a pretty idea that a far
mer's son should not be a1 lowed a farm of
lis own because his father may own (U0
or even 1.280 acres ol land which he does
not cultivate. Yet -this Rcd'cal editor
would be willing to give every foot of
laud in Oregon to railroad corporations,
to be held by them to speculate off of, and
thus be not only out of cultivation but
t.lso out of the reach of persons who are
peeking homes among us. Y"e suppose
that ilm Oregoidan. after the railroad cor
porations have all the land they can get
belonging to the Gouernment, will at
tempt to compel all persons owning a sec
tion to divide it with them. Those per
sons who received their G10 acres of land
G
tiia-Jj'l" the donation act have given the
Government full value for the same, and
they can do with it as they see fit. not
sviihstandh? it displeases the editor of
the Oregonlan, who probably would like
to find somebody's lather to divide with
li in.
Grant's Neguo Speculation-. The lle
amlner of Hie 23d inst... has the following :
"Grant's little speculation in negro buying
bids fair'to succeed. His San Domingo
bill has passed the Senate. The '-Ring7'
has triumphed, and the plunderers once
cioire rejoice. As telegraphed, it appears
that the proposition only received .'51 votes.
Where all ilia other Senators were does
not appear. In a full Senate there are 78
members, so that the proposition lacked
considerable of a majority. The proba
bility is that they conveniently went otit;
not willing to commit themselves on the
vt'COrd to such a palpable swindle, and yet
not wishing to incur the enmity of the
President b voting directly against his
pet meaiiie. Of course the bill will pass
the House, and so our new speculation in
negroes will be consummated. How much
ft head they will cost the Government
will not appear until the Commissioners
report. The probability is that they will
cost considerable more per capita than
nble bodied field hands commanded before
the war. Rut what of that? The.se men
are to be voters, and surely voters are
vorth more than mere cotton-pickers.
Wfco says that. the slave trade is dead?
Vhy the thing has just commenced."'
J"lIAT V So. Never was a truer descrip
tion given in as short a space as the fol
lowing from the New x ork World: ''The
Radical party is the party of strife, turmoil,
and conflict. It is the enemy of public
peace. It fomented discord and encour
aged riots in the South for the purpose of
Xcjayimg reconstruction and as an excuse
to use the. military in the elections. It
keeps one section of the country in an un
settled and uncertain condition, injuring
commerce, business and industry, for the

Coming Around.
The Salem Statesman is coming around.
During the last election and until recently
it was in favor of granting all the public
domain for railroads, but now it preaches
a different sermon, and conies out flat-
footed against any more land being given
away, and further, that the subsidies al
ready granted were procured by purchase
of the honest and incorruptible Congress.
Here is what is said in a late issue of
that paper :
"We present this subject to the consider
ation of the people, tbat everyone may
recognize the necessity of guarding the
public domain and reserving it 'for what
we consider its legitimate use. to become
homes for the people upon the most fa
vorable terms possible. Our growth and
advancement as a State depends upon the
advantages we can oiler the actual settler,
and when capital owns our unoccupied
lands and offers them for sale at specula
tive prices, the chief inducement lor emi
gration will be gone, and the masses will
seek homes elsewhere. ,
Monopoly waits and watches i's oppor
tunity and speculation lurks r.rjnnd the
corner. Politicians are apt to forget that
they should be friends of the people, and
accept instead the position of friends to
those who have fees to give for service
rendered. A great inroad has boon made
into the public domain in Oregon, and on
the part of the people we protest that no
more landed subsidies should be given.
certainly no "floating grant," tor any
purpose whatever. With the aid already
given to railroads our State can soon at
tain a position where the needed public
iiuj)rovemenls will be consummated with
out such aid ; and we would furthermore
protest, in the name of the people, ihat
whenever the present Indian Reservations
shall be vacated, they shall be thrown
open to actual settlement only, as are
other public lands, and in no instance be
placed within the grasp of any railroad
corporation, or other monopoly. Democ
racy wal soon have the majority.
as our
representatives in Congress,
and we eom
exercise of all
mend this matter to the
their spare discretion.
Twisting. The Oregonhin a few weeks
since thought that the San Domingo job
was a dead letter in the President's mes
sage, as the last cenate reiuseu to rainy
the annexation or purchase project of the
President, and believed that the Senate
was justifiable in such refusal. Now
it appears that the Oregonlan was not as
wise in this matter as it might have been,
and its predictions have not besn fulfilled,
and now it comes out praising the meas
ure, and sees a thousand bene fits to b'
derived from the purchase of this island.
It is remarkable what certain changes the
Oregonlan can make. It has lost all re
spect for consistency and veracity since
the editor has received a Federal office,
lie has no mind of his own, and whatever
the President does, or Congress, notwith
standing he may have opposed the meas
ure a day or two before, i.i all right, and
he turns square around and becomes an
advocate in favor of the very thing he
was opposed to. The editor of the Ore
gonlan might have known that the job
would be completed this session. The
blocks marked out for Grant mid his Sen
ators have been equally divided since the
last meeting of Congress, and it is no
trouble to get the little job through. Had
Grant been willing last winter to make a
just division with the Senators, he would
have been successful 1 ast session, but he
was hogish, and wanted to get the whole
thing to himself. Since lie Iras sati.-fied
the Senators and Representatives in some
way or other, the thing has become a suc
cess, and Grant has accomplished his lit
tle object, lie wid be a large property
owner in ihat section, and we think it will
be a most magnificent place for him to go
to after the Eh of .March. l.sTtl.
The Plunder Session-
T'ne i;Aleri:d interests of the country,
which have been so serious! ycmnprrinisd
by partisan legislation, and controlled by
corrupt in-bieneos' will faze as badly at
this session as they have heretofore done.
There is no disposition on the part of Con
gress to heed them, or to adopt any policy
which may afford relief to suffering indus
try or prostrate commerce, unless it be
connected with selli-h advantage. Spe
c;al legislation of every species and for
ever' object; schemes of the lobb', and
venal combination.-,, will have an attentive
audience, because they appeal to the per
sonal interest of a large portion of the
Radical majorities, who will soon disap
pear from this si, "no forever. -
Some of them, like the wolves in the
fable, who resolved to eal grass, until they
saw shepherds enjoying the tender joints
of lambs at dinner, held out lean and
hungry, till those whose praise they once
valued have joined the 'lings'' and fattened"
on the spoils, and are now. as their only
opportunity, eager for a share. Others,
discarded at the" recent elections, feel tbat
a return to the indigent obscurity from
which some happy accident had . drawn
them would be worse than humiliation,
and hence will seek recompense -for de
feat in pecuniary profit. And a third
class, by no means small, looking upon
the present as a transition period in poli
tics, will grasp at this last chance for bet
tering desperate fortunes.
H Accountability, which is the one great
rcquislt of purity in a. free legislativ bod,
is never so teebly as during a closing ses
sion of Congress. The restraint of public
criticism no longer has terrors for many,
and the confusion of the expiring hours, to
which most large ' jobs' are deferred, furn
ishes a concealment for others. Immense
schemes for squandering the public lands,
subsidizing private speculations, and plun
dering the Treasury, were purposely put
off this session, in order to avoid any dam
aging effect upon the fall elections. The
posponement was simply a matter of poli
cy. The bills were meditated or matured
long ago, and only avait the auspicious
moment when corrupt combinations can
enact them into the forms of law.
For railroad grants alone biils are pend
ing which propose to donate near one
hundred and fifty millions of acres of land.
excln uve of the grant for the Southern
Pacific railroad and two other companies,
which together would sum up about 200.
000.000 ! Yast charters are projected,
which involve enormous indirect subsidies,
that are adroitly kept out of public view.
It those be added plans for building
foreign telegraphic lines, some with re
sponsible and others with irresponsible
projectors, and a brood of bills with mil
lions hidden under specious forms, the
country will even then have but an inade
quate idea of the plunder which this shor t
session will yet disclose, and which it will
be our duty to hold up to the public ga ze
as the projects shall bo developed. Such
is the sunshine in which the end of the
present Radical Congress proposes to
make bar. Patriot.
Goixg Back ox it. The main hobby of
the Radicals last June, in "this State, was
that the Democracy wsre opposed to fur
ther land franchises to railroad corpora
lions. Now we find Grant taking the
pamo position held by the Democracy on
tbii subject, sad the. Radical press are
swinging around and now oppese further
grants. The robberies which have been
committed by the Radicals of our public
domain have become too heavy for the
Radical organs to further defend. It is
astonishing how readily these Radical edi
tors go back"cn their record.
Kai.ama. The Herald says . This new
town site, on thellensill claim, just above
Carroll's landing, on the Washington side
of the Columbia river, is attracting some
notice. It is very likely to become a place
of considerable importance l'cr a few
years, so long as the Northern Pacific
Railroad Company make it the base of
supplies in the construction of their road
to Puget Sound, and perhaps a few years
longer, in case the same company receive
materials at that point for their future op
erations east of the Cascade mountains.
rcr.LisiiEKs' Convention. We notice
that cur exchanges generally are in favor
of a publishers' convention. If they are
la earnest in matter, we would sug
gest that somebody make a formal call.
There Is much that could be brought be
fore such a convention that would be 6f
benefit to publishers generally throughout
the State, and we regard it as a matter of
importance. We ,von!d suggest that the
convention of the publishers of Oregon
meet at Salem February 22d, 171.
many will endorse this ?

Counterfeit
Dealers in
Money.
rt , ...
One of the richest devices of roguery is
that which has just come into vogue among
the shapors of this ci'v namely, that of
duping the country 11 its by pretending to
sell counterfeit bills-at a moderate price
on the receipt of genuine money, and sel
ling them only sawdust and shavings.
There can be no pity for the foolish knaves
who are caught in this trap. Their intent
is wicked. They would cheat the govern
ment, and their neighbors if the- only got
into their wo.-session the counterfeit notes
for which they bargained. Rut they can
not do much damage with the sawdust
and shavings wiih which the counterfeit
dealers in those genuine -articles supply
them.

of m iraliry among pe qde who perhaps,
in their own communi ies. are regrided as

bnsiners except the dupes who paid their

rather a funny ospisodo in the history of

ment, which has been carried on in the
Engineer Beparment. at Fortress .Monroe,
lias recently come to light an l has caused
great excitement there, as the individual
concerned is the son-in-law of an eminent
general in the Engineer Corps. It seems
that he has been appropriating govern
ment property for the Lis t three years for
himself and confederates, most of whom
were out of the department, wifh the ex
ception of one. who is now in North
Carolina, receiving pay from the govern
ment he ha helped to swindle. . This
should be a warning fo the heads of de
partments that although a clerk may be
the son-in-law of a general etc.. he may
be light-fingered at the same time. The
clerks implicated will probably get off
with the usu il ten years'' owing to their
influence. This is the great fault that

in general should be protected under the
disgusting veil of influence.
RKM.uiKAtir.K. It is remarkable with
what generosity the Bulletin offers itself as

the excruciating agonies of pain, or thefjle-
pressiag influence ot disease, ruicli a reme
dial atreut exists in the Pain Killer, whose
fame has made the circuit of . t'.e glob.
Amid tb eternal ices of the p. Iar regions or
licncath the intolerable and burning suu of
the tropics, its virtues are kuowu and appre

extreme to the other, suffering humanity'lias
f nti'l relief from many of its ills by its ns.
The wiae and broad area over which thi.-i
medicine 1ns spread, attests its value nd
potency. From a small begimii'ig, the Pain
Killer has" pushed gradually along, making
it- own highway, solely b' it virtues.
Such unexampled success and popularity
has brought others into the Meld, who have
