Wo endeavored to net a team to iroon to Can yon, our own horses being Jaded, but woro unublo to pi-oeuro othors. Tho loo- plo romuinlng at Long creek, however, welcomed on win nil v. und wo found them it unit in favor of our road and on behalf of all of their neonlo expressed thorn bcIvos uh being extremely desirous of cstabllshim: business relations with Pen dletou. Thoy said they wore willing und ready to uiitwo uud keep up tlio road Loin John Dav biidno to lmi: Creek.

P.y tho routo thev sneak of it is only twenty miles from tho bildgo to Long creek, ovor a good grudo, wlillo tlio load us it now runs (via Itlttor) Is about thirty iiiIIch. W o found while there that tho dlstanco from lAJiig Cieek to Aillngton is from 130 to 1-10 miles, and the Huoitcst timo tionslblo to muko u round tiin. coimr one way light, iu two weeks, whilo a round trip frequently takes from four to six weeks.

Wo discovered, howovcr, that littlo or no wool fiom that country can bo expected this season, as wool men have already to a great extern ouiumcu ad vances und mudo an augments for de livery' of this hcubou'h crop to Arling ton. , Wo also found thut Hoppncr had licon ivnd still Is making a Btrong oirort to draw tho trudo to that town, csiteclally mi flinco tlioy have n-prospcot foru rullroiidto that point; but wo were informed thut ut best tlio toad to Hoppnor was a rough ono, and had porno very heavy hills : and tho fact of it liclug u smaller und less com po.ltlvo iwlnt, nnd on a brunch lino, would give it Binull chanco for competing with Pondloton for the trudo. Ilotuining wo thought best to tiy tholr proiwcd routo to tho brldgo, referred to above, bat when nliout ten miles out inls.edtho way and woio compelled to return via a circuitous routo lo the Hitter road, and thonco to tho bridge. So far as wo followed tho proiiosed road wo found a splondld grado on which a road could bo easily mudo and kept in repair. Tho people of 1ong Creek, howovor, will look out for that part of tho road. Arriving at tho bridge, wo examined tho structures. There are two, close to gether, one ovor John Day liver, and ono ovor Desolation creek j and wo found them sound and substantial ; in fact In much bettor condition and 01 u 111010 sun stanllal ehuiuctor than wo woro prepared tooxp consldeilug tho long distance of tliel ituution fiom settlomont and tho Inac i-KiWly by rouds to thut pluco at tho tl thoy were built.

Wo had hoard that it wa. iswslblo to (hid u better grado up Trull canyon than Terrell canyon, but utter oxamining tho promises thoroughly, concluded it wnt littlo or no Impiovoiiiont ovor tho grado of tho presont read. Following tho road from tlioh'idgo along the stream up to tho foot of tho John Day hill wo found it iu u very bad and rough condltioicausod principally by rocks rolling down oil tho mountain fiido und lodging in tho loud. Tho road up tho hill Is in very ioor con dition j full of locks und bowldorH; und so narrow that it Is im,xMsiblo for teams to pass anywhere on tho grado, und giving no chanco for a team or more than two hoi sos lo Hwing. Wo ulso found hoiiio placcH whore tho bulldors of tho load had lost tho grado iu ascending the hill, in stead of pursuing un oven grado ull tho way up. Wo found tho giado to lo uliout ono and ono-foutth miles In longth, und vcrysteop. Fiom tho top of tho hill on to Uridgo creek tho read inns on a fair gnulo, but needs to buvo stones thrown out to muko u good toad. Tlio hill down to lliidgo creok from tho south side needs ropai'ing lwth us to removal of stones and winding of tho grado; ulso instead of tlio grado coming down abruptly to wiinl tlm Uitloin it should extend on ftirotind tho hill and descend more gradu ally, Tlio road from Hildgo creek to I Ca'iuus t-'ivok could lo made good by ro- i niovlnif stonos and bowldsrs therefrom. I Jtidglinf from tho lay of tho lund und wlmt wo liad heard said, wo concluded jtliat Ihero inns lie a gutnl push down 1 Counts creek lo John Day; Hndoloriniiied on lOHthing AUm on our ret urn to hire , waddle hoios, and examine into tlio prac ticability of u road down that mutn. On 1 arriving at Alba wo were able to procure Dili two liorBOB.so concluded that the best plan would bo for Messrs.

Wo found a fairly good road from Alba to Pendleton. From iicsonal examination and obser vation, nnd wluit wo have boon able to earn on this trip, wo would rcsiieetfully mnko tho following recommendations: Fl st That tho Hoard of Trado take whtitover Btops may bo deemed best toward having tlio Ihldgo or bridges over tho North Fork of John Day und Desolation creek ocncd us fico bridges. Wo would suggest that ncrhups tho coun ty cottit. Inasmuch ast 110 road has liecn legalized, could bo induced, were protxjr Btops taken, to buy the bridges, ami open them frco to tho public.

Such upn. epilation should not lie less iu our opinion than $15,000, nnd wo think it will probably require more.

Tlio IIouso continued tho discussion of tho tarlll' bill. Orosvcnor of Ohio thought it struuge that tho Democrats hud arrayed tlicrasoivcs in dofcuso of internal rovonuo taxation. For years Southern gentlemen hud opposed ull eli'orts of tho govornmeut to enforce the law, uud hud ho thoroughly educated tlio ieoplo of tho South into a belief that tho system was tyrannous, that thoy had bullded up u great senti ment in tho South that to defeat, und vlolato, and destroy that Hystoin, by fraud, uud violence, uud bloodshed, mid murder, was but tho assertion of the God piven right of rolcllion ugalust tlio tyr annous enactment of a tyrannous gov ernment.

Ho then do voted himself to detailing Voorhees' his tory uud movements during the war. Ho doi'euded Hayes title to the presidency. Cleveland, apparently, had a warranty deed for thu seat which lie occupied, and yet, compared with tho title which Mr. Hayes hail to his seat ho was in ikwhch slon of stolen goods, and the receiver was as bad as tho thief. In tlio court of just ice and fair conscience ho had never been elected ut nil. Ho had been counted Into olllco by 11 partnership between Dick Tur pin ami Uriah 1 Ieep, foot-pads uud sneak thieves, Cartouche and Pecksniir. Tho country still had tho Southern Confedera cy arrayed ugalust It. Voorhees replied, nnd a personal dis pulo was curried 011 for somo timo lo- tween him und Ingalls.

Voorliecs said If the uontlemau from Kansas would find one sluulo veto that he had cast against tho payment of tho soldiers for their supplies for their boun ties, against uppronriutions for their pen sions, ho would resign his soat in tho Sen ate. I'.vcy word the senator mid stated on that subject was absolutely false, by tho recoids absolutely falso. Tho senator said ho (Voorhees) wus nn object of his charity.
