SUNDAY MORNING. JUNK 95, 1S05.
BOAT LOST-MAN UHOWMED.
A sloop runniog oo tba river between. Dei
Chutes and "Umatilla, was lost on Friday J
etenlng last, under tbe follpwiug circumstan
Cs : , In tbe aflerDOOU tbe Captain bad taken
on board orer fre tons (weight) of merchan
dise, marked for Hill k Kane, Umatilla Land
ing. Itwas now well toward erening, wbep((b
. Captain;, at tbe suggestion.of a man named
Jacob Kimball, palled out for Ibe, purpose of
.running down to Celilp and .takion on board
proTlsions for tbe trip4 There was no wind
at, the time, ani. as a consequence resort was
bad to tbe oars. For some reason or other,
' soon after, starting, Kimball became fright
ened and insisted on running the boat ashore
at poiol where she ae sure to strike on the
rocks. Capt. Madison insisted upon pulling
Mit, but all bis efforts were paralized br
Kimball, until at length the latter broke bit
oar. Rednoed to one oar, and .already near
, Celilo, tbe Captain of the sloop did -all that
he could to biing the sloop to tbe landing,
t but without avail., Tb.e sail was resorted to,
bat owing to the calm no headway could be
made on the vessel, and she continued. Q
down the current. On. Bearing tbe rapids,
Capt. Madison proposed to bis companion to
leave the vessel which by this time was fast
(inking, owing to having struck on a rock
and swim for their lives. Kimball was paralyz
ed by tear, and although he promised to follow
Madison when he jumped, overboard, be re
mained on the sloop until she was fairly in
the breakers, when be took to the water, but
too late. Drawn onward by the current, he
was seen to puss over; (he falls in tbe rear of
;the boat, and finally was' seen in an eddy
below the fulls, where be aank and was not
seen afterwards. ' At the time Capt. Madison
jumped overboard, the slopp was distant
' from the shore probably five hundred yards,
but by extraordinary exertions he succeeded
in making a landing in a cove juaCabove
tbe first rapids. The boat passed over the
falls in apparent safety, but was soon swal
lowed up in the surging current. Jacob
., Kimball, the man who was drowned, was a
' native of Pennsylvania, aged about 55 y.ea.rs,
and was a man of good habits. His trade
was that of a blacksmith, but for several
" years past he ha,s been engaged in navigating
tbe Upper Columbia. At one time be was
part ownrr In the steamer Ciucadilla. subae
quently sold to the 0. S. N. Company. At
' the time, of his death he was preparing .to
open a trading post atJaleuBe Landing, and.
he is supposed to have bad on bis person, at
the time of his drowning, some $2,000 in
coin, with which he designed to buy -goods
By the accident Capt. Madiajp loses his
boat, with all be bad in the world, and is
, left pennifess.. The merchandise on board
c the boat was the. property of Hill k Kane,
Umatilla Landing, and, was worth probably
$2,500. tTbe whole of tbe thrilling affair
.was witnessed by large pumber.of persons
from the shore, who we e unable, to render
assistance, owing to the fact that all. tbe
mall bouts were without oars. Up to this
writing the body of Kimball has not been
. found. Tbe largo amount of money he is
neitevcu to nave, Dad on ms person will in
duco boatmen and others to keep a sharp
looKoui ior nis remains..'

steamer Cayuit, ufler being divested of her
toacuiuery,. was , on Thursday last, lowered
over the falls at tbe Dalles, and is now sitely.
, moored below the rapids. This. is tbe first
rriiel of apy size, built on tbe upper Culum
bla, that eyf r passed over the rapids. - A year
t.or two .since, Mr. Bigelow bad a boat brought
down, but. In ,i,bt luaiauce the vesel was
hauled on shore, and by means of ways hauled
" around the rapids. Its early days tbe Caoa
dian boatmen were 'in the habit of run in
tune rapids, in .open boats, but for man
rears nothing of the kind lias been known

THK TRIAL OF JEFF. DAVIS.
An exchange rightly bsjb that the
trial of the civil and.miliUry head of
the rebellion will bo the most impor
tant criminal trial tbatj has taken place
since the establishment of our Gov-
..... ' '
ernment. It Involves great constitu-
tional questions which tho Supreme
Conrt of the United States must uW-
inately depide. The question of State I
ilgu ue rBv.MBu, uisoiinn
and decided by the Judiciary part of
our Government, IfoY.UAwllJ .claim
the right of the. StoteB separately, to,
withdraw fi-om the Federal Union and
enter into separate relations, and that,
therefore, his acts are not treasonable;
that, thq.ugh.tbo question bus been de
cided adversely to them by the late
war, yet the right to withdraw oxisU
ed undortrre Oonstitution, and the ex
ercise of that right cannot be punished
aa treason. If this point shall be do-
cided against Mtn, which it will be as
raster of vCOareo, it will then be
claimed that the question as... to be
existence of that right was unsettled,
and that a very largo portion of the
people 01 toe WOpiO U,nlOn, amounting
to nearly one-half of those ontitlod to
J " T
eXOfcjso thft elejCtijO franchise, held
the Opinion that the States had a right

lu bocouo, niiu inm in u rupuuno wuere
the people govern,, this., division , of
opinion should at leust relieve bira
andjiis associates from the charge of I
treason. It will be cl aimed that their
aotien was revolutionary but not trea
sonable, and that ulthouih they have
failed to establish the right by force,
they- still -bad the right of revolution.
We our, ontioipate what the- decision
of the highest tribunal in the land will
be on tbeno questions, but it is easy to
boo that a lengthy and thorough inves
tigation of the . ConstHulional ques
tions arising during tbe trial of Davis
will be mn.de by the counsel on both
Sides as Well as sy tbe UOUrt, apd tbO I
question of State rights, and th,e line
of separation between State and jNa
