New Yokk, March 27.-r-The Commercial Advertiser says a rumor was current on Wall street this morning that Judge Dillon and other prominent counsel were busily engaged in preparing pjuers against Kneeland, Stout and others, for the purpose of bringing them to trial on suits for damages, the aggregate of which would be between $1,000,000 and S2, 000,000. One suit would be for damages sus tained by the directors of the Metropolitan Klevuted Railway Company through circula tion of injurious reports. The second would be for damacrcs sustained bv the comoration itself through the same or similaj reports, and these would' be" brought by individuals'-for personal damages. Among the last named, J. Uould is said to be the Iarsest'claimant. The exact nature of the suits could not be ascer tained, as couiiKel aav they are not inclined to talk about them until presented in the' courts.

About fifty men, mostly white, were employed at the works The explosion across the bay this morning occurred in the granulating house of the Vul can fowder Company, where tne manufacture of block blasting powder was iu progress. A lire broke out in the room, communicating almost instantly to the powder, only a small quantity of which was in the building.

Want -a New Krllglon. For some weeks past a committee of the first Congregational church of San Francisco has been engaged with their new pastor, Rev. C. D. Barrows, in making certaiu changes and modifications in statements of its creed or confession of faith. These changes are now complete and have been adopted by the church almost without a dissenting voice. From a comparison of tho old creed with the new it is plainly to be Been these changes are of an im portant character and not mere alterations , in phraseology, but changes involving great doc trinal modifications, and in several cases omissions of entire articles, Which in the ag gregate amount to a new departure. The matter has been the theme of much discus sion for some days in theological circles and some have expressed fear that these changes would not only prove injurious to Congrega tionalism but to the interests of evangelical religion generally upon this coast. Injurious to Irelamd. LtiNiiojr. March 27. The O'Donohue says the dtleat of Gladstone's ministry would be fatal to the best interests of Ireland. It would hand over the land act to those who. would do their best to defeat its working He consid ers if wise counsel prevailed it would already Ua contented, and that the cloture is the legit imate assertion of a majority. All Uame aa t'ssimuua. Cm m inn March 28 Washington specials relate that Alec Howell, the colored servant of President Arthur, is assuming Congres sional manners, and although a married man with three children, he maintains a young woman, for whom he has obtained a puce in the land office. He has lately ceased to aup ort bis wife, and when she camped betore the White House door lately, he was about to strike her and threatened to kill her. Howell is very unpopular and U known as "Frtsb, , the Valet' He bis been tryinp .to git vari ous clerks and even chiefs of bureaus m I charged, becauie they do not pay sufficient f court to the man that brushes the President's clothes. TrnUe Asaaac BepablloiBS. Washington. March 28. Dissatisfaction of Republican Senators at what they consider unnecessary delay of the President in making appointments is gaining expression daily and erumblinsr increases. Last Saturday half a dozen or so Republican Senators who hap pened to meet at the capital discussed the i residential tardiness with warmin and com. 'nituted freely upon what they regarded a favoritism 'shown certain Senators. It was remarked that both Massachusetts Senators had been slighted and neglected; that tho enstom house appointment in Boston had been vacant some weeks, and though both Senators urged daily tho filling of them, the President had taken no action at all. One Senator remarked that it looked to him as though' the administration was a closo corpo ration made up of leading Stalwarts, includ ing several Senators. It was said that no Senators except Logan and Don Cameron could get an appointment and that they seemod to get any they wanted. This sub ject is a matter of every day talk now be tween Republican Senators, and criticisms and complaints that were recently whispered are now loudly spoken. A Deliberate Murder. Dknver, Col.. March 28. This eveninc J. C. Early, attorney and well L-nnwn lnral nnli tician, shot and killed Policeman Samuel Townsend. They qnarreled about a replevin suit in which Early acted as counsel. The victim was unarmed and tried to got away. An attempt mode to lynch Early was frus trated. A Flendlsh'llurder. Sas Francisco, March 28. A fearful wife murder occurre.d here about 9 o'clock last evening. John Killalea, a 'longshoreman, re siding at No. 410 Pacific street, killed his wife, Maria Killalea, in a drunken fit of jeal ousy. Armed with a sheath knife, Killalea proceeded in his fury to carve the woman in a horrible manner. Stabs were inflicted on the right side of the neck, tight side of the chin, shoulder, abdomen, chest, under ths left nipple, and also a fearful slash on the left side of her face, from (he car to the angle of the mouth; the first and second fingers of the right hand also nearly severed. During the sanguinary deed the drunken and fiendish rage of Killalea did not seem 1 1 be exhausted until lite was extinct, and the body of his wile lay lifeless at lin feet, mangled and bloody. No reason is assigned for the fearful deed, but a spirit of jealousy, inflamed by strong drink. When arrested the murderer was asked what was the matter, when he an swered with brutal indifference, " Oh, noth ing ; I have only cut my wife's throat, that's all." Deceased was a native of Ireland, and aged 46 years. She was the mother of six children, all living. Killalea was taken to the city jail at once after committing the fearful deed, and locked up on a charge of murder. Ariel- llir IlulMSreed.. St. Paul, March 28. Special reports re ceived at Fort Assinihoinc, Montana, by a courier from Captain Jacob Kline, 18th In fantry, in command of the column operating against tiio half-breeds and Indians on Milk river, says ho struck tho Indians on the 14th inst., half a mile below Medicine Lodge, whers were 33 or 40 lodges ot Little Pine's band. On the 15th, by forced marches, he reached the first half-breed village, and half an hour later a detachment of cavalry had destroyed 80 or 90 dwellings. Tho leaders had fled and the half-breeds were badly de moralized, and are going north. The cavalry have been sent to the lower village, and this movement'will clo'se the half-breed campaign, uule(STndians again show themselves on the no; til side of tilt, river, when Capt. Kline will 'drive them back over the line. i The Tariff Question. Washington-, March 28. The House com mittee on ways and means has agreed upon a bill to reduce the internal revenue taxes.

STATE IVEW8 Stages south of Jacksonville arc on time. Stock is getting scarce iu Jackson county and raising in price. Several improvements are contemplated in Jacksonville during 1882. Good team horses are worth $125 per head in Jackson county, and scarce at that price. The First Judicial District has several can didates for Prosecuting Attorney. So has the Fourth. There is very little snow iu moat parts of Lake couuty, and many stockmen have quit feeding. The Astorian is informed that there it a case of small-pox at omi of the canneries at upper Astoria a Chinaman". Wm. Kent, who shot Patsy Gallagher, a noted sport, at Willows, Jackson county, was tried and acquitted, the act having been done in self-defense, FlKK AT Jcnctio.v. A fire broke out in the grain warehouse of L. Solomau near the railroad station at .Junction City at 10:30 on Monday-niffht. The fiames. which it is sup posed, were kindled by au incendiary, gained considerable headway before assistance arrived and notwithstanding in enoru ot tne citizens the building .was completely destroyed. By strenuous efforts Bushuell's warehouses which were closely adjoining, were saved, though the sack warehouse was Ift in a badly damaged condition. Soloman's house was in sured fur $600 in the Commercial, of Califor nia. The machinery belonged to D. C. Bruce, valued at $$00, insured in the New Zealand for $500. There was stored at the time 1,800 bushels of wheat, 900 belonging to James Hoffman, insured for $250 in the Hartford and $185 iu the Commercial; also an insur ance on wheat for $3$5 in favor of Benj. Cox, in the New Zealand. Junction has been very unfortunate of late on account of fire. Btr ry' hotel and sever 1 otffBr buildings adjacent thereto were burned about three months since. And within the past week Kratz and Wash burne's mill and Soloman's warehouse have been consumed by the fiery element. This includes nearly all of the important buildings of that flourishing inlanl town and will give it quite a backset. THE DEATH PENALTY. Execution or the Alaska Indian Ka-ta-tah-lle Meets His Doom With Farlllndr. The Alaska Indian Ka-ta-tah, who was con victed in the U. S. Ciurt of the murder of two white men, miners, at Beliring's Bay, In the summer of 1880, and sentenced to be hanged, paid tho penalty of his crime yester day. He was visited by Father Fierens and another of tho Catholic clergymen on Monday afternoon and appeared to derive much com fort from their ministrations. They visited him again that evening and administered tho rite of baptism. The prisoner spent a part of the night in devotion and then lay down and slept soundly till 7 o'clock yesterday morn ing. At 8:15 ho partook heartily of break fast, after which he asked permission to bid hi' fellow prisoners cood-bve. which beinc granted he pissed along tho corridor shaking hands with all and bidding them farewell. He also EXrilESSKU HIS GRATITUDE To jailor McMamos for his kindness to him 17. S. Marshal Kearney had given orders that the doomed .man shoald be provided with any comfort he desired and that every opportunity be afforded him to receive spiritual consolation. He was closettd for some time with the priests and his friends and sent messages to his fath er and mother and wives. Shortly before 11 o'c'ock his senteuce was read to him and at 10 minutes to that hour a procession was formed in the main corridor. Sheriff Buchted and a Deputy TJ. S. Marshal attending the proces sion followed by the priests, Mr. Geo. Kos trometinoff tho interpreter and the Indian witnesses in which Older ihey marched to tho scaffold, which had been erected in the frame building at the rear of the court house. A large crowd had collected who endeavored ts obtain a passing glimpse of the unfortunate man but only those holding tickets were ad mittted to tho building. He took a seat on a chair placed on the drop without evincing the slightest emotion. In answer td the interpre ter he said he had nothing more to cay, but wished to shake hands with all present. This being impracticable Marshal Kearney told the interpreter to say to him that they all WISHED HIM OOOO-BVE And had nothing against him. He then said ' Good-bye " in a calm voice aud the spectators responded "Good-bye." He then stood up and his hands and feet were fastened in the usual manner, the fatal noose was ' adjusted by Deputy Marshal Sanford Watsun. Tho black cap was pulled over his head, aud he commenced his death sung, a sort of chant without words, and at precisely 11 o'clock Deputy Marshal Frush pressed the string with his foot, the trap sprung open, and the body of Ka-ta-tah dropped with a dull thud. Not a tremor, not a convulsive shudder ran through his frame, for his neck was broken about the fourth cer vical vertebra. At five minutes past eleven o'clock a number of medical men examined the body and found the re mains to bo warm and tho pulse beating strongly. At fifteen minutes past eleven the physicians pronounced life to be extinet and the body was cut down. It was then placed in a pine coffin and conveyed to the medical college. A number of medical men, students and newspaper reporters were pres ent to witness some interesting experiments with the galvanic battery, which were con ducted by Dr. Rex. The circumstances of the murder are familiar to our readers. The victims were George Thomas Malouey, a na tive of New York, aged 23 years, and Kerrin Canby, an Irishman, aged 38, both unmarried. EXTENSIVE IMPKOVEMENT. Contract Let by the O. K. A N. Co. for au Immense Wharf Below Alblna. The Utruclures to be Erected Tbereou. The contract for an extensive wharf in front of their property, below Albina, was let, on Monday, by the O.. R. & N. Co. to Mr. Joseph Smith. The structure is to be 2,600 feet in length by about 200 feet in width, and is to be constructed in the most substantial manner. Tho piles being driven in clusters of twelve, which will be only a short distance apart, as it is intended to have the wharf of extraordi nary strength and capable of supporting a weight of 220 tons on an area which in com mon structures it only required to support ten tons. The present contract is only for piling aud flooring the wharf. When it is completed there will be a large coal abed with chutes, and all the latest appliances for handl ing coal, erected at the north end, while at or near the center will be constructed a grain elevator 400 feet iu length, 85 feet wide ami 100 feet in height. Through this will run four tracks aud alongside will be side tracks for 2,000 cars. The building will be fitted with facilities for unloading trains uith dis patch, the grain being dumped into bins be neath the floor, from which it will be elevated to the top of the building, cleaned, stowed in bins from which it will be drawn and sacked for shipment as required. Ou the south end of the wharf will be built a good warehouse for the reception and storageof such goods as it may be necessary to recuye or ship from that point. TEKV HANHDOUE. Liberal Treatment or au Injured ontelal by the o. II. a N. Co. By an accident on the O. R. & N. Co. 's road between The Dalles and Walla Walla on the 14th inst. Mr. Tim Sullivan, a conductor on a freight train, was seriously injured by having his right elbow and knee fractured. It seems that a train of 20 cars in some manner parted, leaving 0 of the cars behind, and the accident was not discovered till the train had proceed ed some distance. As soon as it was discov ered tlie remainder of the traiu was side tracked and tho engine started back to pick up the 9 missing cars. As a passenger train was expected along the engineer was in some thing of a hurry, and was tunning at a speed of about 30 miles an hour, aud coming unex pectedly upon the missing cars, ran into them, throwing Mr. Sullivan clear over three car of iron and injuring him as above statad. He came to this city on Friday last to see Mr. Buckley, Acting Superintendent of the Com pany, and was treated in a most generous manner, being paid a liberal turn tor the dam ages sustained and having all expenses settled for him till his recovery and his reinstatement in his position assured him. Mr. Sullivan U much gratified with the generous treatment he received, but has no desire to again test it in the same manner. Hcaw Loss. The loss by the burning of Kratz & Washburn's mill at Junction City amounts to $40,000, on which, as has been stated, there was $22,000 insurance. There was 20,000 bushels of wheat in tho mill, about 14,000 of which was owntd by the mill com pany. A. D. Hyland loses 1,200 bushels of wheat, Sam Meek 3,000 buthelsi Mrs. Lewis 450 bushels, Howard bys 300 bushels and the rest was owned iu small lots by farmers. The fire originated, as is supposed, from natural causes, as it was first discovered near the comb of the roof of the main building. Republished from Issue of Feti. 21, by request. THE DUTY OF CITIZENSHIP. Only four months, and even less time, wl intervene before the biennial election of the State of Oregon. Already we hear the polit ical wnr whoop in the distance. Not tho war cries of the embattled people, but the an nouncements of the politicians who confident ly propose to run the political machino to suit themselves. Go to the political center of any county in this State and remain quietly ob servant a short while, and you will perceive that a set of old political hacks aro talking up matters in the interest of some ring or clique, who imagine they own this or that party. This we see is the case in Marion county, where wo occasionally go, and where we na turally have knowledgo of riis and cliques, and where we have always fought them. When there the other day we heard tho names of people of that county talked of for office, who could never be nominated for position by the intelligent massses of voters, but who are intriguing to get a nomination by any means, believing that party feeling and machine drill will elect them if so nominated. The same is true here in Portland, where men are putting up their game fur office as coolly as they bar ter for real estate, and expect to get a clean title from the people if they can run their wires, so as te manipulate the conventions. Eight years ago, the Willamette Farmer led the van of au Independent political move ment that was creditable to tho people. Good men of all parties joined it, and with a little earlier start it would have swept the State. As it was, it controlled the Legislature and thwarted many schemes. That movement brought reasonablo men, who had differed politically, into harmony, and cooled and re freshed tho political atmosphere for ycar.i af terwards. This year there is much less polit ical rancor in the popular mind than usual, but there is no talk of Independence. There is no probability that men will break loose from political organizations, and the political games must all be played for what they are worth. The Willamette Farmer does not pro pose to to partisan. It has faith in the peo ple but not iu political parties. It is disposed to freely discuss any situation that arises, and seek f'.r a remedy for exitting evils. Political parties, as they are constituted, aro "evil, and that continually." Parties aro a necessity, but the moment one is organized political sharpers' step to the front and manipulate them in the interest of selfishness. There are always leading minds who control popular fa vor, and whose control is not always honest. The treat majority of the people get their politics as they da their groceries and other wares, on trust. They are swayed by stronger minds; men of popular manners, who cultivate Eublic favor as a trade, take nil tho responsi ility of thinking and acting off the minds of their adherents; lead them to the political contest in organized battalions and vote them solidly, in phalanx form, dead against their own best interests. The truth is. that American liberty is often a tremendous farce. -A wise and paternal .despotism is comfortable alongside of it, and a respeciaoie constitutional monarciiy siuiies uy comparison. England holds her railroad and telegraph system in check, owns the tele graphs and controls tho railroads, but in the United States the railroad and telegraph mo nopolies are inoro powerful than the English monarchy And parliament combined. In Eng land the evils of a depraved civil service were reformed by one administration yos, by one of the greatest aristocrats who ever governed England while to-day our own nountryis cursed with tho most despicable civil service known outside of Turkey. Spain and Austria and Russia have a better system, and France and Germany are vastly superior. There are ten millions of voters in the United States who imagine they are the "sov ereign people," but they are only puppets in the hands of ten thousand demagogues who rule the land. These demagogues have their willing, and perhaps hired agents in every neighborhood, who manage the primaries, and having sown the seed they know what the harvest will be. If a ring is formed, it is in the interest of machinations that are past finding out by the honest and credujous voter. The village ring has wide ramifications; some Senatorial or Gubernatorial aspirant, is the Paul who plants, and some political ring or monopoly combination is the Apollos who waters and sprouts the seed. The county convention follow s; the State convention and National convention are simply the result of the village primaries through tho land, and our liberties aro a mockery, because the best citizen despises the tricks that rule the pri maries, and so stays away, and lets the trick sters "run tho machine. One of our sweetest poets has pictured the effect of the ballot in the hands of freemeu, that falls as silently "As snowflake falls upon the sod, But executes the freeman's will , As lightning docs the will of God." Hut unhappily for American liberty, too often the ballot goes astray and forces light ning that is destructive to the rights of the people. Our State is not yet in the condition that California is placed by a monopoly that brooks no criticism, and which, as Judge Boise saya, takes one-fifth of its yearly profits of $22,000,000 from the traffic of the North Pacific. Wo have independent minds among us, aud no power can impose upon us if the people of both political organizations will at tend the primaries, and put only honest and competent men up for office. It is more im portant to attend the primaries than to vote election day, just as it is more important to put vour seed in well than to harvest it. There is no recourse, after the nominations are made. One ounce of prevention is worth a pound oi cure, au our aavice is, mat in every precinct in Oregon all the voters make it a conscientious duty to attend the prima ries, and if you find that any suspicious "slate" has been made, don't hesitate to "smash" it. If any man wants office, nomi nate some one else. It has always been our principle that all the food citizen has to do. is to elect honest and capable and disinterested men at the primaries, and that will be death to all rings and monopolies. Keep all aspirants iu the background; don't let any candidate for office show his head without breaking it. If honest and csptble representatives of the people meet in convention aud select fcood men lor office, not because they want office, but be cause the people choose them, we ueed have no fear of the consequences. If a competent Legislature meets next fall, elected to repre sent the people, aud not krown as the repre sentatives of rings and demagogues and office seekers, they will have no trouMulii choosing tome good man to represeut Oregou in tho Uuited Htates senate, audi men can go to work deliberately to frame all neccwary laws to protect the people. The lone aud the short of it is. that the people of Oregou are masters of their own destinies. If they exercise their privilege as vuters wisely, they can establish here as good government as the world knows. During many years we have continually set these facts before our reauers, anu enuearurwi uv imprest upon their minds the importance of a proper exercise of the duty of citizenship PACIFIC Life Insurance Company OF CALIFORNIA.
