Lktteus AnouT Oregon. The San Fran cis'.o Chronicle Is publishing some very pleasant and readable letters about Oregon that do justice to our State and do credit also to the writer, wbo we think we can recognize as an eld acquaintance, made in travelling from tbe States nearly ten years ago. who called on us and renewed acquaintance when hero on business last fall. Mr. M. M. Hark ess Is an occasional writer for our paper and we recosrnlze tbe same agreeable style In both correspondence. Celebrated Well. Here in Salem we waked and ate and walked and slept as if there was no 22J of February to tell us of the birth-day of Washington. In Portland tbey made a grand affair of the day, as indeed ihey ought. There was a military parade, an oration by Col. Arthur Cnsfield, and George Washington was made much of. TELEGRAPHIC. EASTERN. Xr.w York, Feb. 23. The Brooklyn court contained tbe customary crowd of spectators this morning, and all parties to tbe Beecher can were in tbelr accustomed places, Evarts continued the cros-examlnatlon of Mrs Moulton, que8iionlng her first in reference to ber visits to Mrs. Woodhull and tbe latter's falls at witneR' house, witness Dimply re peating what she paid in regard to this mat ter on direct examination. Witness was then questioned as tn ber conversation with Tllton when abe called him a villain. Sbn said the convocation was in August, when Mr.Moul ton was about to make bis statement to tbe committee, when Tllton wa talking angrily to Frank about not making his statement be fore the committee. She was questioned about telling tbe story of the scandal to Mrs. Dennis of Narragansntr, and telling her 15wcher was innocent, which she denied. Evarts hern concluded the cross-examination, and Fullerton began the redirect. She testified that ber visits to Woodhull were solely caused by Woodbull's threats to pub lish tbe scandal. That the last time she came to ber bouse was to ask Frank to assist her to raise some money. When witness kissed Beecher she was sor ry at tbe anguish be exhibited. Both were -crying, and she felt as If in tbe presence of death. She thought Bhe would never t-oe blm again; that he was going to commit sui cide. She told her husband wheu be came home of the Interview, and what she did. Witness advised bfr husband to make bis short statement. Did so In order that Beech er might explain tbo matter to tbe Church. She said "give tbe old man another chance." Congrcsklonml WAsniNOTON, Feb. 23. Foster, Phelps, Potter and Marshall presented the malnritv report of tbe Committee on the state of af fairs in Louisiana and concluded as follows: "In our Judgment all that I needed in Lou isiana Is to withdraw tbe federal troops and leave tbe people of that State to govern themselves." Before making this reecom meudation the Committee says: "To avoid tbe mischief and confusion of change, tbe majority of the citizens of Louisiana seem w illlng to Hccept a n compromise Kellosg's recognition and the restoration to tbe Con servatives of the control of tbo Lower Houe." For these reasons Fos'er and Phelps do not wish to oppose the recenm mnndation that the adtninitratlon of Gov. Kelloirg be recognized in view of the fact that they know nntliingoi merits as judged Vv competent evldsnoe; nor do tbey wish to lie understood as urging it. Tbey ouly wish to record their agreement with those of their associates who believe such a compromise might, by making a termination of the un certainty in Louisiana, be on the whole less intolerable than tbe present situation of that li'tre-sed people; but to any resolution rec ouuizlng Kellnpg, Potter and Marshall are utterly oppo-d. Thev find nothing to lustily tbe boiler that Kellogg was elected; that he seized the Government bv aid of Federal troops through a void and fraudu lent order which prevented the counting and returning of the votes, should hea stand ing presumption against him. When the people, outraged by the abuses of his Gov ernment, had successfully regained tbe ofnee be had usurped, he was again reseated by Federal power through tbe forma of the laws by which be had entrenched himself. He once more sought to nullify the choice of the I eople at the late election, and to that end called In Federal troops to break up tbe meeting of tbe Legislature. For Congress to recognize a usurpation so gross, so oppres hlve.'ia, they think, to establish a precedent by which, under pretexts that can readily be found, anv State Government may be over thrown, tbe will of tbe people nullified, fraud and violence perpetuated, and Repub lican forms perverted to destroy liberty. Following are the conclusions agreed, on by Hoar, Frye and Wbeeler, tbe minority of tbe committee: They condemn the white man's party and assert that it Intends to take violent possess ion of tbe government and will not stop at murder to acompllsb it. Tbe Committe believe Kellogg received a majority in 1872, and while tbey believe there was violence and fraud which frustrated tbe will or tbe people In many parishes in 1874, tbe illegal order of Durell or tbe illegal ant or the returning board In attempting to cure one wrong by another, naturally in flneroM the popular dls'.-outenl and lent jltusiblltty to complaint. Tbe committee believe there hWbeen much diubouesty and corruption In the State and local government flr which tbe Republicans, principally under Warmouth'srnle.are large ly responsible, thougb in numerousinstances their opponents have been equally to blame. The e fleet of all tills has been to destroy tbe authority of law over a large ro-tlon of the Stite, deprive the negroof the right of suf frage, overthrow republican government in Louisiana and to seriously menace it in the whole country. A new election at tlil time la not desirable neither party ask for It, and It would ag gravate present evils. Congress should use Its constitutional pow ers in the matter. The committee think Kel logg the choice of a majority of the voters of Louisiana, and should be recognized as Gov ernor. The committee conclude by saying these jeinorlles are at best temporary; and to estab lish efficient mem of publiceducatton would do much to remedy the evils. People there should bo made to understand that all tbe authority of the government to preserve a republican form of government and protect the rights of citizens, will be firmly exer cised. Unless this can be done, tbe free In stitutions ot the whole United State will not survive tbe destruction of tbose In the South. The Finance Commit'ee agreed that a now mint ought to be established In the West. Edmunds from the Judiciary Committee, submitted a report on the question whether the contract or 1872 with the Pacific Mall Company for subsidy is still obligatory. Tbe committee report it is not obligatory, mainly because tbe company did not furoish the ships required for additional service at the proper time, and that the Postmnster-Uon-eral has no legal authority to accept vessels wheu they were tendered him, and his action cannot bind tbe government. Hoar from tbe select committee on Louisi ana affairs, submitted resolutions. First,from tbe whole committee, recommending Houso of Representatives of Louisiana to reseat the members rejected under tbe application of tbe rule of the returning board; and second, which ii not unanlmous,that Kellogg be rec ognized as governor of the State. He also presented a report which was ordered print ed in the Record. Loughridge offered an additional sactlon roimposlng Income tax and providing ma chinery for its collection. Adopted 141 to 87. It provides that 3 er cent b collected on In comes botween $3,000 and 810,000, and 5 per cent, on incomes above $10,000. Dawes then moved to strike out the enact ing clause, which was agrsed to. He then moved that the committee rise, and the bill be recommitted to the Committe on Ways and Means, with Instructions to roport back with a tax on whisky at 00 cents, w ltd tbe sugar and tobacco clauses as amended in Committee of the Whole, and the leu per cent, horizontal section retained. Dawes sub sequently withdrew the motion toiecotntnlt, and Cox moved that the House concur iu the action ot the Committee of the Whole, strik ing out the euaetlng clause. The House re fused by yeas 100, nays 150, to concur In the action of the Committee of tbo Whole strik ing out the enacting clause.and the bill stands recommitted to the Committee of tbe Whole.
