EAILEOAD CONNECTION. 7,ruc-li intf-iost is lcll in sonic-quitr-lors infuvoi ortho i).Ti-nfj'l" sin act tlmt will tfinnt sullicicnl aid from (lie Hliito to Biiiii.'iHlccllio construction of u rail road to connect Ou-gon with tlio ont sido w 01 Id. Tlio impoitiiiico of Mich connection is c idont to all who icali.o anil approcialc tlio modern Idea of 1 ogress. It is true that s0ino very uoitliv nersons do not appreciate it, hut claim that we have population and biisiiHiiiess, and advantages enough and thata railrood would add nothing to the gcneial good. The aigunient in favor of dullness, slow lies-, and medioc rity is plausible, hut would carry us hack to patriarchal limes as fulfilling the highest limits of human happiness Mut then.! N a great majority who look- to a ftituio when Oregon shall take her place among the States as 0110 of the most piosperous of the national sKfeihood; w hen our valleys and hills hliall teem with population; when our cities shall grow lich as conmieicial jiudiii.iiiufacluiiiig cenlK's when our pioducls shall fieight laigcr (Iceland our manul.ictcieis will vie withfho-o of the K.tsl. All UiW is jnobihle and anil possible in theftiftne, and with it shall ionic iiioh- perfect civili ition.gi eater 'of ial and ediiLMlioii.ilaiUanfiige-. ami email cipation fiom the capital and the labor of other lands lo which we now pay such heay li Unite. 1 low distant that lulure will bo de pends on how soon we can icalie the much de-iied l.iilio.nl connection with (ho outside wotld. (iive us the same advantages Hint California possesses and the development of our lesouicos would conespond with, and in some degiee would ecel hei's. We should ( l.ilm a fair shaio of the Asiatic tiade; should seeourminesol piecious metals made pioiliKlivu, iiml belter. yet should he.ihlo to nunc fully utili.o our coil beds; our niagnilU enl loiests, and the mines of iion 010 that in themselves constitute unfold liches, but wail the touch of the magician that shall call them into use and make them a source of wealth. Tho futuic of Oiegonmay rival flat fabled wealth of tho Talcs of Urn Arabian Nights, If an era of quick development could daw n upon us. While all this is ti ue, and possible, thcie is no dgulsing tho fact th.it gie.it dilUcullies lie in the way of seem ing the speedy development we desiio. The negotiations with the Contial Pa cific seem to have come to a stand still, and tho Winneniucca project is ah m doned. Tho Columbia iier and Salt Lake load isbnaiglit before tho legisla ture in a now shape and has friends who tnge tho gi.inting of State aid. Wo leelliUe s.i.sing: Let Hie State give nil the aid wec.in posslhly atl'ord tothis or some other pi.tclicablo t.iilio.id -I'lii'inr ; and then tho question in ises : I low much aid can tlio .State alloul'.' We have something over 10(1,0011 popu lation and wo mo isso-scd as woith $ IO,(iao,Mi)t. With that paucity of iiunibeis and coiupnative absence of wealth how niuihian we pledge the Stiile to oMujiid for mlltoui'.' Itisfuieth.it the coiistuiction of a connecting io ul would add gieatly lo fliN population and wealth, and m the road would add to our tcsotucos and make the piynienfs more easy. We cannot atUiid to assist the cuiistim tiou of rill itiails beyond the Oiegon line, and if wo grant a subsidy tor the coiistiin'tlon of "J'tii miles of road through Oietjon we must have some guarantee that the in. id tlnoiigh Ida ho, to connect with Hie Cnlon I'ai'ltlc, will aKo be built; for to Impose n bul lion af 5tJ"i,iM0 perauuuni nu our peo ple for coiistuiction of a load to the Oiegon line would be a fraud, unless it wascertaiu that thecomicctiou beyond would he speedily completed. If any such measures passes It must he most caiefully guauled to liisiue tluough connection, or (he State may lie bulk uipted without any show for an equiv alent. A-we look upon it, the building of one Hue to connect Oregon with Hie rest of the states Insure the advent of u better day, and places us wheie the futuio will take care of iti-elf. (Jive u available outlet and we shall see popu lation flow in an ! wealth iiiciease sotliat other needed enterprises will tako form and he luillt aa nutter of course.

A bill lias Iieen ponding befirollio legisla ture proposinc; to lease tho penitentiary ami convict labor for a period of leu vtar, lo Messrs. W. C. Grisviold, I). McCully, and J. II, Ifnc'nleman, inon of ampin ineanii and unquestioned integrity, they to maintain the luslitutiou at a cost to tlie&talo of ?I0,0G0 per aiiiium. (Jreat opposition developed against this measure, partly on tlio belief that the pres ent superintendent is included IntheHcherao there being groat personal prejudlco against him for good reasonH, and partly becauso partisan politicians desiro to rotaln tho man agement of tlio institution for tho benefit of the pitronage it allortla. Ono inducement fur making this loase is that it will tako tho State Prison manage, meat out of politic, pud wo confess to a do she to reduro political patronage to a point v. hero it cannot be used as a wholesale moans to corrupt eloctions; another good to bo attninol will be (o inaugurate homo man ufactures, and mako boots anil .shoos of coarsor Kinds that aro now importod. This is a moit important and dos-irablo result. Tho institution can bo managed on tho same pUn as now and as humanoly,and wo g'yo little lorce to llio specious ploi that it will In " inhuiiMn " to lease convict labor. It wilt actually bo a boon to tho'o lr.on to leach them a good irado. Another and very cogent rwou is that it will positively five tho Slate a largo bum yearly. Too la-pajers and producors am intercnlod in this, rind if thoi.ct 1 i well I'uard- od to sei are good Uo&tnunt loi tho pn-onors mid avoid all bad umi Is, wo uo no roabcm ulij the measure should not bo etitortained witlio-it prodjiidiio. In doalling with such men tho Stalo is so cure, liccauso tho gantlemou namod aro ro spoi.slblo. About Freights. Last intor iroiirhts down tho nvor from Salem vveto f-ciuco moie than half what they aro now, and il tho sauio rates prevailed now iw tliiui, our in mors would rocoivo 7.i conts lasload ol 70 conts per bushel for tholr who.it. This in tho most forcible way wo can doviso of putting this matter of lrolglits and the cost to tho producer of tho present monopoly unstained upon tho Vt'ill.nuotto rinr. Wo had hoped to mo some elllcient means mipplitdby tlio piesont I.ulsluturo to do fend the lights ol tho eoplo in connection with passage of holts tlirough tho locks, but tho ponding bill has been dispood ol with out any substitute lining adopted toward that end. It there is nothing dono tho locks company will at least have oncouragemont to maintain tho monopoly they hnvosotup. Tlio Mission is drawing to an end, and II any tiling is lo be dono no time is to bo lost If tho Stalo could purehaso tho locks at a reasonable price tiioio would bo nonoodot controlling legislation, liut ns that is a mat ter of uiicoitainly wo hope soino steps will ho taken to delino tho lelutlons ot tho State to tho locks and maintain the rights ot tho Suite in the most ufllciont manner. At piesent tho pnoplu aro nylug a premium to monopoly that will soon amount to the nutlro cost ol consliucting tho woiksatlho l.ills. Tlio puiclmso t tlioro worl s at a reisou ilile prL'0, nut to t mul osr nmtn vmi it tioititamo, would lui theiasiest .solution ol the dllUculty. As. tho mutter Gtmds at pre-ent there is no icriainty, or oen probi liility, lint any thing will bo dono in tho pii'iuises, In which cmso tho people will bo lull to light their bittlowlth monopoly as tiny can.

K.mMnn: With ua in tho country, a great interest is felt concerning tho rights and property tboSiato has in tho Canal and Locks of tho Willamette. We desiro that In any case additional legislation should bo had to deQno tho rights of tho people, and mako the transportation company in tho fulhstKeno ameuabio to law in case i I car ries out its apparent threat lo refuse passage to independent boats at the legally establish ed rale of toll. Many think the Sta'o should own and control tho locks in tho Interest of the pro ducers and ronsutneis, anil tho purchase of the same at a reasonable pi ice would meet with tho approbation ol tbo masses, though wo reauiro our legislators to mako a careful bargain, and not put up a iob for specula tors. I find that mucli opposition lo tho pur ehaso comes lrom Interested partios w ho consult their own prospects, and not tho public good. Por instance, a certain set of federal ollice holders and politicians that have heretofore always been identilied with tlio railroad interest, seem to oppose the purehaso of tho locks on any terms. Now isn't It possible that these gentlemen uro still in the railroad Interest, and working Io prevent any measures that sould break up the combination by which tho rher and the railroad charge tho snuo price for freights, which of course insults very large per cent, ot the biifines-s for tho roid at a hich freight tarlfT? I just ask this ques'lon lor information, and to put onr repreentatioj on tholr guard lest they misapprehend the commotion made ai:aint tho purehaso ol the lo-ks by interested parties As (o tills matter, while X know ot no actual movement towards the purchase ol tlio locks, I would Miy that 1 aprreo with tlio consina'no -views heielo.'ore advmied in tlio PAifiru, tJia' the niiireo sol tl e people , ill bo nd inietl il the owi.r.rshpol lha locks can bo MMed in tl.o S'aiy at i rceon able ; n. e.

In response to the above, and to voibal in quiry made, as to why this papoi takes anj ground at all lor tlio piuchasoof the locks by the State, wo siy that whilo v o sta'.o that wo consider it would ba to the advantage ot the minors ol Oregon It the Sta'o owned tho locks, wo do not ciro to quo 'tiou or ciu vass tlio motives of those who oppose so do ing. Tho PAiijMKU is tho represonutiv e and the moutli-pioco of a class tho producers of the Willumotto valloy, constituting tho largor portion of our pitions-much inler es'.ed in and depending on tlio favorable bo lution ot tlio transport uiou jirobleiu. To day, freights are ho high as to itduce the price ot wheat G uin'.u a bushel, at Salem less than it would bo il height tilled M one yeirago. I'liero is no doubt that eventually, and not very fat in tholutino, the lock.-) will pay a good lovouue, and in the moantimo tho people ol this valley aro being actually robbod by mi oppiessivo mouuiioly. ltio malnswlth tills Lo.dBlatuio to decide it it can furnish any lumody.
