Those Proofs.
The Oregonian of last Saturday calls on
us to substantiate by proofa the vague
charged and insinuations which it alleges
have been uttered by the press of Oregon
against the late -Radical Gubernatorial
Administration of this State. In answer
to the "request" of the Oregonian, we will
ay that indubitable proofs of all charges
made exist, and will be made public al
the proper time. We, too. are done with
-Tague declamation" on this topic, and
when wegain alludo to the matter will
furnish proofs sufiicient to convince even
the Oregonian man himself, and then we
will see if h will '-stand as ready aa the
KxtkrpriskMIo denounce peculation and
lrand perpetrated'7 by Woods, May & Co.
That German Ratification. In speak
ing of the great German ratification meet
ing recently held in San Fiancisco, of
which the Oregonian prated so loudly, a San
Francisco paper pays it "was a meeting
of Germans employed in Federal cfCces,
nuu men who nave a icans neon Ilennbli- I
cans. Of tho Vice Presidents a majority
were not citizens of the United Stated, and
tubers were not present, ana a few were (
German Democrats whose names were
used without authority.'' The repudiated
ex -Senator of Oregon amused them for
a while with a defense of Grant, and stale
jokes on ths5 heath en Chinee.' Tuis is
what the Radical papers call a --great rat-
Cification meeting.'' California will stand
redeemed, on the Cth of next September,
reconstructed Germans. Ex-Senator Wil
liams, and the Oregonian to the contrary
o (.withstanding.
'-The Prize Essay. It will doubtle.-a be
remembered by our readers that some
time last spring the State Hoard of Real
Estate Agents offered a prize of $300 for
the best essay on the resources of the
State. There were many contestants in
cthe field, yet but J;vc of the articles pre
sented were retained by the Examining
Committee. Among these there were two
whose merits were so evenly balanced the
committee could not decide which was de
serving of the prize, so they recommend
ed divison, which proposition was ac
eeptod by the authors of these two essays.
The'euccessful competitors were Mrs, A.
J. DuDjway dud J. Quinn Thornton;
Tom of Inspection. From the HeralJ
we learn that since the bonds of the North
l'acifi'S Ra'toad have been placed in the
European market, the attention of Eng
lish and German capitalists has been di
rected to the road, and they have sent a
party to this country, accompanied by a
competent engineer, to inspect the coun
try through which the road will pass, esti
mate the probable cost of construction,
etc., and to report thereon. The party is
now in Montana, and may be expected to
arrive here shortly.
Fjue ix Idauo City. On Sunday, the
6th inst. a fire broke out in Idaho City, in
the rear of Dr. Zipps drug stoie, and de
btroyed one-third of the town. There
seems to be a fatality connected with this
little mining town. In lSOo a most terrific
conflagration swept almost entirely over
it. It was rebuilt, and. in 18fJ7. it was
again visted by the fiery element, and
two-thirds of the houses burned. And
now we chronicle its destruction for the
third time.
o
Laforkks. Scarcely a day 'asses but
we meet men in search of employment,
who complain of the country, and gay
they can find nothing to do whereby to
earn a -quare meal''; yet at the same
time farmers areiu sore need of hands, and
Mr.Ionfgomery is almost constantly ad
vertising for railroad workers. Why
men should go hungry in this part of the
couutry at this time is a mystery to us.
0 Theatrical. Tho widow of the late L.
F. Beatty, a well known actor, who re

An Important Decision-
Hon. L. L. Mc Arthur. Judge of the East
ern District of Oregon has rendered a de
cision in regard to appeals from the find
ings of a Register of State Lands, that is
of interest just now, w hen so many par
ties are purchasing School lands. The
case in point was appealed from the deci
sion of the Register for the La Grande
District to tho Circuit Court of Union
county. After summing up the facts of
the cose, the honorable Judge proceeds to
show very conclusively that an appeal to
the Circuit Court will avail nothing more
in fact, than the decision by the Register,
as the latter is only an agent of the Board
of School Land Commissioners, and their
decision, under the law, is final, and could
not be reversed by the Court itself. This
decision (our space will not permit its
publication entire) is clear and logical, and
seems fully justified by the laws in regard
to State lands. The learned Judge cites
a case to show the fallacy of a Circuit
Court reversing a decision or an appeal
from a Register of State lands, and, '-for
convenience of argument, assumes that
section thirteen, of the act approved Oc
tob r 2(!ih. 1SCS. is in all respects perfect
and properly provides that appeals shall
he from the Register to the Circuit Courts,
what weight can poossibly attach to the
decisions o!' thore tribunals? Can they
bind the Board of Commissioners ? lie
thinks not. For example, suppose A and
B are contesting before the Register' the
right to purchase a certain parcel of the
! State land, and that the decision of the
Register is adverse to B; that B appeals
to the Circuit Court and thore the decision
of the Register is reversed, it being ad
judged that B and not A has the right to
make the purchase. In the meantime the
Register, in accordance with the law, for
wards Lis findings and reasons therefor to
the Board of Commissioners who approve
his decision and make a final order in the
case a Hi ruling the right of A to purchase,
and on Hint order a deed is executed to A.
Which of these decisions prevails? Most
cartainly that of the Board. They are
not required to defer to the decision of
the Circuit Court, nor indeed are they ob
liged to conform their acts and desions to
any other rules or regulations than those
adopted by themselves. The judgement
of the Circuit Court therefore carries with
it no force whatever, and although it may
hear and determine a case on appeal, it is
absolutely powerless to enforce any judg
ment it, may render. It most certainly
could not set aside the deed and enforce
the rights of B in a proceeding of this
nature."
The Victoria Leagus-
Thc Portland Herald has received a
circular from tho above organization,
which states its objects to be the forma
tion of a new political party, called the
" Equal Rights Party,'' consisting of both
sexes, founded " on the constitutional right
of suffrage which the fourteenth and fif
teenth amendments vest in women as well
as men. This party demands from Con
gress, at its next session, a declaratory
act setting forth definitely this interpreta
tion of these amendments, together with
immediate legislation to insure the free
exercise by women, as by other citizens
of the elective franchise la the several
States. It nominates, will support, and
expects to elect, as the next President of
I the United tates, by the combined suff
rages of men and women, in 1872. Mrs.
Victoria C. Woodhull.' who modestly ac
cepts the honor, and has published her ar
guments in support of her theory on the
right of woman suffrage. The Herald ed
itor has received a cordial invitation to
unite his fortunes with this party, which
he promises to do. provided its ruling
beauties (?) will allow him the urivile-re
of nominating Mrs. Duniway for Presi

Another Palsehood-
- William Watkinds. Esq.. enters the tel
egraph oQice at Salem, writes a long dis
patch containing an order to a Portland
dealer for lime lor the new Penitentiary,
or something to the Sheriff of Jackson
county in regard to Shultz. and tells
Frank Brown to charge to the Penitentiary
Fund, and Secretary Chad wick will draw
an order, Mr. Brown peremptorily de
clines." Oregon ia n.
In answer to the above charge, the
Herald of the 12th publishes the following
brief yet explicit telegram from B. F.
Brown.
Salem. Oregon. Aug. 11, '71
This is to certify that I have always
sent the State telegraphic dispatches, when

'Ad Willainettam " No- 2-
Some youth, a3 yet to fortune and to
fame unknown.'' furnishes the following
to the Herald. It is ' dam " good poetry
for a boy:
The Willamette is a very pretty stream
That runs down hill into the ocean ;
Nor stops to play upon the way,
But ever keeps iu healthy motion,
Running onward to the ocean ;
Through the night and through the day,
Hunning always, every b:t the way.
A miller once looked on tbe stream
With a serious view to dam it ;
To run his null, it was his will
To use the bright Willamette;
Bit in vain he tiled to dam it
For it- kept right on its downward way
And tore his miil-dam all away.
Then onward flow, oh! rippling river,
Let no damming stay thy motion.
But bear thy maiden mountain water
Until wedded to the ocean ;
Ia passionate commotion
It struggles, till the mists of strife
To thy current bring renewing life.

PiTisroN (Pa.). August lo. It is diffi
cult now io estimate the full damage by
the explosion. It is not believed that any
men at work in tin- mine will be recovered
alive. Oil entering the chamber in which
the explosion occurred, fallen rock was
found, which laid pai tly on a car. com
pletely blocking up one side and leaving
a space on the other just sufficient, for a
man to worm himself through. Some dis
tance further in there was another fall,
which completely filled the passage. It is
believed that the men are walled in so
completely that it will take hours of most
persistent labor to reach them. Volun
teers are now at work endeavoring to get
around this fallen rock, so that they can
reach the miners, but the density of black
damp prevents them from prosecuting the
work with full effect. They are contin
ually being brought up in an exhausted
condition, but their places are at once
supplied by other volunteers. All that
mortals can do is being done to rescue
the unfortunate, but onlv blackened, dis
figured remnants of mortality have thus
tar rewarded their labors. Outside toe
scene is heart-rending m the extreme
women and children weeping and mourn
ing s;bout for the loved aud lost, and
waiting anxiously in hopeless expecta
tion of each new report. This mine had
been nearly exhausted, and was known to
be filled with black damp, but was con
sidered safe and constantly worked since
the strike, although not to its full capacity.
Twelve feH of gas was found in the head
ing just off the ix mgway, which has been
traversed all day by the explorers with a
masked light, and an accident would have
,.1 another and worse explosion, in
volving the loss of at least lnty
n,inr the fore nart of the night
lives.
those
assuming control have ordered the pumps
reversed5, and water has been forced
down the shaft, thus hoping to increase
the volume of pure air and expel the
foul. Superintendent Kendrick and In
spector Blewitt are preparing to descend
into the mine but should they find their
expectations of replenishing the avenue
with pure air realized, they will hardly
be able to draw away the debris necessary
to reach the imprisoned miners before
morning. Twenty miners are known to
have been in the mine, but so far only
five dead bodle3 have beeu found.

that a current of fresh air could be circu

member of Parlament, and Mr. Rear, of
Belfast. The apprentices attempted to
form a procession in violation of the
proclamation issued by the authorities,
but the police, aided by a detachment of
troops, interfered amid yells and cheers
of Roman Catholics. Stones were thrown
by the- rioters at one another and the
police and military, and the Riot act was
read without effect. The cavalry and
police then charged and scattered the
crowd. Several were injured, but none
killed. A number of arrests have taken
place. Order was completely restored.

no fear but that she will accomplish great
good and become a blessing wherever her

Both result from lack of ability to convert
the food int-J nutriment. How necessary,
then, for those suffering from these alarming
systotns to immediately resort to a remedy
that will strengthen the stomach and digest
ive organs. Fur, as soon as this desirable
object has been accomplished the health im
proves, and the patient resumes Lis usual
personal appearance, llostetter's Stomach
Differs have attained a world-wide populari
ty iu such cases, aud have beeu proven the
best and safest means of removing constipa
tion, toning the stomach, giving energy to
the liver, and relieving every symptom of
nervousness and depression of spirits. Its
cheering and beneficial effects arc bighty
spoken of by thousands, who owe to it their
restoration to health. No restorative in the
annals of medicine has attained the same
popularity ia the short, space of time it has
been be fort the public, or lias won the high
endorsements accorded to this excellent tun
ic. Many other preparations, purporting
to be correctives and lesioratives, have ben
introduced, aud have perished one bv one,
while the popularity of llostetter's Stomach
bitters continues to increase, and is now re
cognized as a standard household medicine.
The success which attends the use of tiie
bitters evinces at once its virtues iu all
cases of debility and disease of the stoamcli.
Certdicate-, almost without r umber, have
been published, attesting its truly miracu
lous jower in removing those painful and
fearful diseases. And at this time it seem
idle to do more than call attention to the
great remedy ot the age, in order to awaken
public attention to its excellence. It is 'the
only preparation of the kind that is reliable
in all cases, and it is therefore worth v of the.
consideration of the alHicted.
