The Closing Year.
Marion county.
Another £eek, and the year of our Lord,
1869, will have been numbered with the
BhSttowrpaBt.
’ ■ —
An eventful year has it been to the whole
world^ It has witnessed the completion of
the ifoh track, which connects the Eastern
sq J ^Vjflftcrp coasts of this continent together,
and the consequent opening to settlement
and cultivation, the vast regions of the inte
/■¡or, hitherto the home of the Indian and the
Buffalo. Another work, second only in mag
nitude to this, has also been completed this
yaar. .The historic Red Sea, whose crimson
waters
• *
.--i overwhelmed Pharaoh and all bis
bostj and upon whose shores shone “the cloud
by day, the pillar of fire by night,” has been
united by the Suez Canal with the Mediter
ranean, and thus made the highway from Eu
rope to India. The Empress of France and
the Emperor of Austria, both rigid Catholics,
have been the guests of the Moslem Sultan.
Treaties of peace, amity and commerce
with the exclusive Chinese have been made.
The last of the reigning Bourbons,—Isabella
of Spain, has been driven from her throne.
British America has been created an almost
independent Empire—an important step look
ing towards its complete separation from the
Another country. A new transatlantic cable
connects our shores with that of France.
Cuba, arousing from her lethargy, seeks to
|hrow off the power of Spain. The Catholic
Church commences one of its General Coun
cils ; and in Oregon the first extensive rail
road has been commenced. But time and
apace would both fail us, were we to attempt
a complete enumeration of the grand enter,
prises of national and international impor
tance, which owe their origin to the year
which is about to close. Suffice it to say,
that in no single year in this century, crowd
ed as it is with important events, has there
been so maDy works commenced and com
pleted, which will have such lasting effects
upon the morals, the politics, and the com-
marce of mankind.
A Republican Party Muddle.
Over in Washington Territory the Repub
lican party are rehearsing the fight of the
Kilkenny cats after a furious style. Gar
field's friends are recognised as the Simon-
V
Pure Republicans, while sonic of the bed
rocks of the party have bolted from the organ
isation and cry aloud for “reform”—the
usual, cry when there are more “pegs than
holes.” Among the bolting reformers we see
the names of B. F. Dennison, Chief Justice :
A. A. Denny, late Delegate ; Marshall Blinn,
late member of the Council; E. Marsh, late
Register Land Office ; C. A. Huntington, late
pf the Indian Department; J. H. Kellet, late
Deputy Marshal, Alvin Flanders, Governor ;
C. C. Hewitt, late Chief Justice; U. H.
Hale, late of the Indian Department; S. D.
Howe, late Assessor of Iuternal Revenue ;
D. R. Lord. Inspector Customs ; Fred Wilson,
Collector Customs ; J. G. Parker, late In
dian Agent'; J. J. McGilvary, late U. S.
Attorney; , A. W. More, Clerk Supreme
Court; and Fred A. Clarke, late Councilmen.
In their address they denounce the “horde of
hungry office-seekers” that infest the Terri
tory. We should think that the bolters had
feasted at the flesh-pots of office to a reason
able extent. The fellows ought to hire our
Oregon Senator to get them an Indian appro-
riation for “removal and subsistence!”
’bat would give them all a bite, and mollify
their patriotic indignation against corruption.

On Saturday last, as Mr. George Alexan

[From the Edgene Journal of Dec. 11th.]
R ailroad A gain .—The furor which the
“Sage ef Youncolla” has raised by having a
preliminary survey oo a route for the East
Side R. R., leaving Eugene on the east, has
roused our citizens, and the City Council,
has made an appropriation of “one hundred
dollars, or so much thereof as may be neces
sary” tu examine a route, either crossing the
McKenzie at a point bedow Spores’ Ferry,
and the Willamette at this place, or a route
crossing the Willamete below the mouth of
the McKenzie, and then come to our place on
this side of the river. The main question
seems to be at which point the road can cross
the mountains south of us, and do so at less
expense than the route proposed, which is to
cross the river at or near Springfield and join
the old survey at the McVey place, about
four miles south of this town.
[The route/by the Rock Creek Tasa has
been abandoned aa impracticable.—E d .
N ews .]
P rospects for S teambmting .—V» c are in
formed by the parties who went down last
week for the purpose of cleaning out the
river between here and Harrisburg that the
river is in a better condition now for boating
than it has been for years, and that there
will be no trouble in boats reaching this
place when there is the usual amount of wa
ter. At a point called “Brumley’s.Defeat,”
the place where the most difficulty has been
experienced heretofore, the river has formed
a new channel, collecting all the water into a
straight, open chute, with nothing to prevent
boats whatever.
