City Elections.
xt Monday the voters of Oregon Citv
rrill be c.il led upon to exercise the elec
ti ve'fYanchise by selecting city officers for
tb'e ensuing year. .This election, though
"apparently of but little consequence, is of
vital importance to the people. and tax
payers, itiid every voter should exercise
the privilege thus offered in placing into
ofliee good .men, men who hae the inter
est and welfare of the city at heart. For
the past three years the Republican
parly have had unlimited control of our
city affairs, and the taxes have been tin-!c-ualy
high, and would have been higher
had not the charter of the ci'y interfered
and protested against it. The city is in
debt to-day (no one can' tell ex ictly) in
the sum ol over $3,000. City orders, not
nithstaniliiiR they draw ten per cent, in
terest, are worth only 70 cents on the dol
lar, and the city is thus forced to pay an
advance of 30 per cent, on all it has to
purchase. Th at the alf.urs of our town
have been badly m m iged, no one, except
those who have had the handling of fhe
O funds, will deny, and now. in order to ef
fect a reform, the Democratic City Com
mittee, feeling the importance of the oc
casion, have thrown open the doors for
Qll who are infavor of a refoun. to parti
cipate with them i.i selecting good men ;
those who pay (he taxes and are here, to
make Greg m City their 1'uttire home
These men should hold the offices, and
"wo hope -the Convention will select no
others, and thereby secure an economical
Hiluiinistration.
From an exhibit furnished us by the
Liudne.-s of A. J. Apperson, Esq., we are
enabled to give to our readers, in an ag
fcregife s ateuu-nt.. the ammut of revenue
raised by the city, and also its expenses,
Which shows a remtrkablo collectioi for
such a Ft-all place as Oregon City. The
total unfbnnt of taxes, licenses. &c. collect
ed during the year, for the general fund,
vhs $-1.2 U. j 8'J for school purposes
5-1.002 22 : total. $8,298 11. To this um
QQ'-hould be added about $1,800 more that
is collected annually as a road or -street
tax. making over ten thousand dollars our
people pay fur the niainteinauce of our
city governmctit. 1-roin the statement
furnished us. it is shown that this amount
Mill cover about the expenses, including
interest on the debt, provided ii is uot
over $7.00;) or $8,000. but leaves notuiie'
C
towauls a reduction of the debt.
We had intended to make a fuller state
ment of I he financial condition of the. city,
but the figures were not furnished us ui
til it was too late, and we tnu-t ak our
readers to consider over the above and
M-e whether ihey had not better change
che afl'iirs of our cirv in J( other and nine
competent hand-;. They may rest as-nred
that no perm men! prosperity will be vis
ible iu Oregon City unit! capital can c me
lieiv without the fear of being taxed to
povci y.
Last Saturday the City Commit lee pre
pared their call. Yesterday a posler ap
peared on the st re .Ms signed by a repub
lican and good citizen embracing the sub
MaTice of the call. Let no one be deceiv
cd by this. It is probably the same wolf
in another dress. The Republicans dare
net make a nomination, not withstanding
they have held undisputed control of the
town heretofore. They know they will he
repudiated for their past extravagance
and seek this dodge to retain power. Tax
payers, he not deceive,!. If our friend is
sincere in his eVsir. h
him
attend the
Convention at .dyers' hall. tomorrow
veiling. Thatispiaceforull such who
desire a change.
Ca:.ifot;ia Chops. The crops in Cali
fornia are saiil to be almost a complete
failure this year. This is an inducement
lor our fanners to get in all the wheat
possible. A Stockton paper says ;
- ft is ouite certain that ender the most
favorable circumstance now possible the
grain ami hay crop of the State wiil be
light, and if favorable showers do not
continue to fill the failure may vet prove
to lie a very serious matter to a large
number of farmers and to the State at
large." No ram- have fallen in the inte
rior since the date cf the Independent's
article.
ExcorriAOixcj ton. tuc Citv Tvx-P.vy-F.r.s.
The present year Ihere were audited
loC city orders by the Council, aggregat
ing the nice lit tie sum of $3.29 1 10. Out
of this sum. $1,000 was paid for the wafer,
and the balance. $2,201 10 fur incidental
expenses. Why did not our worthy city
fa hers make up their import to the people
before the clec.iou ? Probably the above
figures looked to large for them to risk an
endorsement front the people.
Titnowx Away. At the last June e'ec
fiuVi, the City Marshall appointed ten
deputies and the city fathers paid them
$10 00 per day for the service they ren
dered in electioneering for the Republican
ticket. Are our city tax payers ready to
endorse this kind of business next Mon
dav ?
r.tsy. Our farmers are engaged in
feeding, and the present indications are
that there will be a vers- large amount of
wheat this year. There is already a large
amount sown, and they hat e at least two
weeks longer. Any time before the 15th
of May will bring a crop in this S tile.
The Dallas ll jmLara fays that all
available fotce is being brought into requi
sition by our farmers during the fine
weather in order to get seeding done as
s son as possible. Not withstanding the
late i.ains. an unusually huge amount of
seeding will be done.
The StaitshHtn sns that J. G. Holbert
J; as had l is sentence" ?o lessened that two
months and $1C1V line will let him out.
'l his word came by telegram from Wash
ington The tax-payers will do well to remem
ber that they owe it to the fact that the
charter prohibits a higher rate of taxation
than h is heretofore been levied or the
would have been called on tor more.

I
SfECLLATiox. An exchange pays that
should the United States be so foolish as
to take San Domingo, we would have to
take with it a debt of $158 000.000. to be
paid by the peop'e of the United S'ates.
And there is not an acre of uugranted or
unpledged land in the country.
To show just the character of this real
estate speculation, we may ptate that the
amount of territory comprised in San Do
mingo is only about 20 000 square miles
12.8O0.O00 acres ot land, all told, which
belongs to private panics. For the prvi
lege of having the -old fl ig,? fly over this
land, and allowing its owners to be repre
sented in Co.-.giess and fill fat offices tren
erally.we must pay a little over $12 33 for
each , acre. As a land speculation, we
scarcely think the investment will pay.
And there is no money jfi it, otherwise, for
the people there are as iittle able to pav
taxes as they are to navigate fhe air.
A Good Way to Pkotect gardens.
The Walla Wal'a Statesman hers tbe fol
lowing on this subject:
We have heard of several enterprising
ladies who have adopted peculiar plan
oi keeping their neighbor's chickens from
scratching up their newly made gardens.
They mix salt and corn meal together and
lay it nicely along the edges of the beds.
When the chickens fly over the fence, they
of course pounce eagerly1 upon the meal,
and they come to an untimely decease.
Salt, we believe, is -cold peen" to a
chicken, and we take this opportunity lo
warn the feathered tribe that before they
had better send for a lawyer and have
their wills drawn up in due and regular
form, in which they should not fail to
make some provision as to t he disposition
of their coid corpus, which miv be found
lying about loose in the gardens.
Coxviotkd. Mrs. Fair, the woman who
shot Mr. A. P. Crittenden some time since
in San Francisco, was found guilty of
murder in the first degree. Her sentence
is to be pronounced to-morrow. The fol
lowing is from a dispatch of the 20th inst.
Contrary lo all expectat ion. the jury iu
the Fair case were out only 40 minutes,
and returned a verdict of murder iu the
first degree. The prisoner was a IP tie
paler than usual, otherwise unmoved.
The mother v. oot and her child wept and
clitng to her. Some of the jurors were
much affee'ed. The public received the
verdict 'vith much .surpii-e. but with
cverv manifestation of satisfaction.
The verdict in the Fair case is almost
the sole topic- of conversation on the
stive's. Up to wfhin the past, week it
was generally believed that the trial would
result in a peileM f arc a l 1 the a -q i fal
ol" the .prisoner c-t the disagreement, of the
jury. This week the impress o i w vs
sii-fMig that thv jury would convic t her of
mans.aughter ; still nobody ex.iec e 1
them to agree so quickly. It, "is probably
not improper now to s.iv that the juo-ecii
tion had the.names of numerous witnesses
by which specific ac s ol the prisoner
could be shown which would have ex
hibited her character in a lar more revolt
inn light than it now appears. These acts
were committed dining her imim.iev with
Cri.ti-ndeii. and indicates a heart iessne.-s
and vileness almo-t beyond beiief. The
impression is general that her sentence
will be ultimately com -no ted to imprison
ment for life. The gratification expressed
at the rebuke of the doctrines put forth in
her defense, a.id the open and avowed
sympathy of a certain class of females
with the oris oner, is almost universal in
the c.uiiuiuni y. This evening Judge
Dwinell ordered the prisoner brought up
for sentence on S-i:urdav nect.
The Street. Coinm issi.iner ttas hereto
fore collected hei ween $l.f00 and $1 H;)0
per annum road tax iu this city. Yet we
have but one street, and that in a good
condition when t!
proper'y owners
keep it so. The office has been abolished
but he desires another. Will the people
elect a man who has proved his incompe
tency st) completely in the past to any po
sition? Let them look at the manner he
has appropriated the road money, and the
condition of our si reets. ami we apprehend
that the people will conclude that they
have no place for him.
It is now understood that the Republi
can pa-rty. which has had undisputed con
trol of the city for the past three years,
lias become aware that its miserable man
agement of affairs has lost them the confi
dence of the peo ale and that they cannot
gain another victory. The leaders of the
parry, under such circumstances, general
ly become very anxious for a reform U ion.
and try to deceive the people undercover
of -'independent"' tickets, while it i- the
same element, only under a different name.
The only show- we have for a refo m ttn n
in city matters, is for those who desire a
correction of abuses, to come into the
Democratic convention and nominate good
men and elect them.
Let the voters remember that the Detn
ocratic ticket which will be nominated to
morrow evening, is by (he action of the
City Committee pledged to an economical
administration of our city affa'.rs. and a re
lormtion in our public school. The tax
payers are interested in this matter more
than they are in the success of party. Let
them turn out on Monday ami achieve a
victory which will benefit th" town, and
take the heavy burden of taxation from
their shoulders.
New Paf-ku. We have received the
first numder of the Democratic Era, print

of its editor. Mr. Hicks, is a sure guarantee
that the paper will rank among the best

as no one has ever atlniepted to tra.ee out
any relationship between the President

proves the truthfulness of tint old aphor

Coi.rMKtA Coi'ntv. Columbia county,
says Ihe Ib-rald. litis made more rapid
progress than any other county in the
State within the past twelve months.
During that time it, has almost, doubled its
population. About a year ago the num
ber of its inhabitants was 800 to day it
is 1.500. ami is, besides, constantly filling
up. There are not two sections of State
land to be found for sale in the county.
From a gentlemen who has long resided
there, we learn that it possesses the most
productive land in the Siate. Of the
settlers seeking homes there, the major
portion are single men. There are only
about 120 families in the county. As a
proof that even in pioneer settlements
they do not. enjoy that domestic peace and
tranquilly which they are supposed to do.
we learn that six divorce cases are to be
heard at the next term of the Circuit
court, which will convene there in a short
time. Taking ail things into consideration.
Columbia comity seems to be a good
place lor those seeking homes among the
wild roses and pines.

Chicago. April 22. A Washington spe
cial says that Chief Justice Chase and all
the members of the Supreme Court are in
conference to-day on a question involving
the constitutionality of the legal tender
a'ces. One of the Justices stated that he
thrufght the Court, would reverse the deci
sion rendered at the lust. term.
The Court is known to stand four to five
as follows: For 'sustaining the former de
cision. Chase. Clifford, Wilson and Field ;
tor reversing it. Miller. Strong. Bradley
and Sawy er. It is not known how Davis
stands, it; has the casting vote, it wiil be
some days before anything is known about

The organ of the Administration makes
ii statement to tl

High Commission has disposed of the ques

on authority, however, that there -are still
some matters unsettled, and it is not cer

Nfc.w VtitiK. April 25. A Tribune Wash
ington special says the decision of the Su
preme Court i:i the legal tender cases will
be announced in open Court on Monday
next. The opinion; will not be delivered
until the December meeting of the Court,
in order that the Judges may have time to
perfect them. It is positively as.-etted
that the decision will reverse the former
decision, by deciding the Legal Tender
Act constitutional that contracts made
prior tt the war have been unfilled by
payment of greenbacks.
A dispatch In in New 0,lf:i;,s. last night,

Bonnet Carre and Nat a Plantation. To

as the only one to be comb t! .ied; here the
danger is great and imminent. The waters
of the Mississippi are rushing through an
opening seven hundred feel wide, with a
roaring sound audible for miles, flowing
through a channel li.'ty feet d"ep far into
the v.iii.ui' lands, and the levee is rtpidly
erumb.ing iti'o i tie boiling waters. N-
efforts can now close the crevasses, and a.
soori as the Hood hats cut its way inf the
iale the latter will oveillow the whole
rear portion of New Orlt-ans.
The latest news is that Rennet Carre
crevasses issiill extending. Twelve miles
of the Jackson Railroad has been wa-hed
away. Two -oil er crevasses, one at Point
M itiotr. west of Raton Rogue, and one on
ihe Mclhiaough estate, below the city, are
reported.
A 'Vilbnnc Washington correspondent
telegraphs that it is authoritatively an
nounced tha' il successor has at last been
found tor Pish. The next Secretary of
Sta e wiil cither be ex Senator Morgan or
ex-At tort iey General Rva i ts probably
the latter. The change wiil not be made
immediately.
The Joint High Com mission Ii wo mad-.'
such progt ess within the pa-t few dav
th it it is authoritatively stated they will
finish their duties on Wednesday or Thurs
day next. The Commissioners are now
engaged in preparing a treaty, all points
between the parties having been agreed
to except certain matters which are sfiil
under discussion by the English Govern
ment. The report that there was to be a
separate treaty for each viz : Alabama
claims, the fishety question aid the San
Juan boundary, etc. point, is not true.
All cases wiil lie embraced in one treaty,
and if one is rejected all will be that is
the settlement of all questions. The
American Commissioners will not be dis
solved until alter the treaty is disposed of
by the Serate and the English Commis
sioners will probably remain here until
the close of the Senate debate on the sub
ject. The treaty will not be made public,
by 1 hi1 State depart merit.
Washington. April 2.1. The recent
opinion by the Supreme Court in the case
ol Day vs. RoKingion. in which it. was held
that the salary of a Judge of a Stare Court
was not liable to income tax. was brought
before the Commisioners of Internal Reve
nue for decision of a very important ques
tion as to the liability of other .State ofli
cers to pay income tax on salaries. The
opinion referred to was based on ici argu
ment that if the right of the General Gov
ernment to tax salaries is once admitted,
then the State Judiciary might- be taxed
out of existence. Other State officers ap
peal Iron; assessments made upon salaries,
holding that the argument applies to their
Cases as well as to Judges. Ihe question
involved is an extremely important one.
as the decision on cases now pending sim
ilar to that already given, would probably
be followed byr a ib-m unl from all juris of
the country for drawbacks of all tax on
salaries paid since the income lax law was
passed. A quesMon would also be raised
as to the legality of income tax 0:1 fees of
sheriffs and other officers, whose salaries
are not fi ed.
Nkw Yoiix. A pril 2 Ik A Tribune Wash
ington special says it is positively asserted
that the treaty of the Joint High Cornrnis
sioti will coi.tiin no provisio'.s of any kind
for reciprocity w ith Can" da. . That, a prop
osition to balance free fisheries with free
importation of lumber co il, etc.. was made
in the Commission is doubted, but sis
American Commissioners were assured
that no treaty which contained such pro
visiorH would be ratified, all reciprocity
was omitted.
