'Gov. G rover has taken the litigant
franchise" from the Monmouth
Jessenger and conferred it Jupon the
Liberal Republican; although
no "'change of proprietorship " has
taken place in the former paper. Havo
we a king in Oregon ? How is it that
the Governor can interfere ; with a
franchise " which the Legislature
had irrr authority to control? We
want to hear no morl" howling by
Democratic journals, about Kadjcal
official usurpation."
The above false and foolish quib is
from the Corvallia Gazette. It is false,
because Governor Groycr has not taken
the " litigant franchise " from the
Messenger, for the simple reason that it
never acquired any 41 franchiae " under
the law, although the Governor gave
that paper an opportunity to do so for
two years in-succession. It is foolish,
because it exhibits consumate ignorance
upon the subject, or a disposition to
place the Governor in a false position.
The facts are these, the Messenger was
designated by the proper authority, and
could have acquired the right to the
printing for the terra of four years if it
had complied with the law itself. The
Governor did his duty in making the
appointment, and there was no one at
fault. The Messenger after it was
designated did uot see fit to comply
rith the law so as to acquire the right,
and it has had the benefit of the print-
ingfor two Years without comnlvin?
with tbe provisions of the law and no
one has found any fault, at least w
have not, and we were the odiv party

We do not know the reason for the
UCgfCCt or retusal on the part of the
proprietors of the Mttsenger to do as
Ihe law directed, we presume they
had a reason satisfactory to themselves.
4ut that is none ot our business, and
it ought not- to concern the Gazrtte
JSut in ordiir that hroiimr (Srior wl..n
fcava no more excuse for ma kin" false Ms
charges against Governor Grover, and
for the purpose of enlightening his
morbid sensibilities upon this particular
subject, we will state that the proprie
tor or proprietors of the Mts&nger
never filed the boud or stipulation
required by the act. The Gazette
wonderg how tho thing could be done,
A'fihort reference to tho act itself will
clear up the muddled mind of the
Gazette editor. Here it is.
Sec. 3. ".When the proprifor of a
newspaper obsignated as thootlicial pa
per of any county, fdiall file with tUe

fcunuiaiiuu aucepuns me conditions of

thereafter all notices, - summons and
Advertisements of whatever nature, i
authorized or required to be published
uy any law ii mid oiaie, wmcii shall
be published in any other newspaper
than tho one so designated, shall be
illegal and void ; Provided, That at any
imet upon proof of a failure on the
port of the proprietor of any newspa
per to proparly publish legal and judi
cial advertisements,; or of, their non
compliance with any of the conditions
of this Act, the Governor may desig
nate and appoint and con firm, accor
ding, to the provisions of this Act,
fome other paper as the official organ
of the county in which supb failure or
default is made."
The proof of such failure aforesaid
wa made to the Governor and ho
appointed the Kkpuiilican in s'rict
Conformity with the law above quoted.
Now we think the Gazette, and all
others who are in anywise envious,
ought to be satisfied to cease their
ttbuso of the Goe nor for simply
performing his duty. We can asturo
the Gazette that wc found no fault
because the Messenger did the printing
one half of tbe term, nor has the
Messenger found any fault because wc
are to do it for the other half The
llrum.iCAN has been legally tlcngna-
ted. Its proprietor has filed the
stipulation and bond required by law.
All things have been done decently and
in order. Tho law for the first J time
since its passage has been fully complied
with, so far as Polk County is cen-
cerned, and wa shall endeavor to per
form our duty fairly and promptly du
ring the term. Is there annything
more wc can do for the Gazette!.
Portland, the commercial mart of
Oregon, has beea yjsited by that dc
stroying clement, fire, full particulars
of which have been given 'through the
press. It destroyed two blocks of
city buildings. Originating in a wood
bnih'mg occupied by Chinamen, it
spread until its devouring hungry
flames mowed down all in its way of
whatever material it was made
Fortunate for that city that the earnest
exertions of its inhabitants were able to
ouench the liouid tlames when and
a
where they did. Seldom under such
circumstances does it -transpire that
men are cool and calculating, but in this
instance, amid the consternation and
conflagration, there must have been
some good practical engineering, other
wise instead of two, there would have
been two hundred blocks prostrate in
ruins. Let this loud call learn us all
a lesson of watchfulness and prepare-

The Policy of. The Admin istiia.
tion Foreshowkd, It is now patent
that , tho incomitifl'i administration
intends to incorporate a-gigantia na
tional banking s'stem which will eclipse
in magnitude, any monied inonoply,
ever inaugurated or countenanced in
any civilized community, ancient or
modern. This is in strict accordance
with the recommendation of the last
mcssnger of the President, - arid tends
iircetly to oppression and; the
total abolition of republican institu
tions. This scheme if consumatcd is
a stroke of class legislation, unparalleled
in the history of governments, and an
imposition upon the people of this
Republic, which ought to be sufficient
to drive its supporters into disgraceful
and irretrivable oblivion.
During the last campaign the admin
stration papers pcrsistantly maintained
that Horace Greeley was halt knave
half fool, now the universal acknowl
edgemeut by the same journals is, that
he was a wise, great and honest man.
Radical consistency. We had said prior
to the election in answer to the pre
die ion of some of the administration
papers, "that Greeley would receive on
the fifth day of Nov. 1872 the votes of
a majority of the white, honest, tem
pcrato,f moral, peaeiblc, industrious,
law abiding aod sensible citizens and
voters of the country," and the official
count now demonstrates tht we were
correct. Of what do the supporter -of
Grant boast in respect to his civil life.

-.OF THIS ItODDY 1'AMILY.
From the limes: ''The particulars
of the fate of this unfortunate family arc
truly heart-rending. It appears that
the famJy was composed of Wm.
Uoddy and wife, William and Richard
Kravigan, two step-sons, and Nicholas
Schira, a son-in-law of Mr. lloddy.
On tho morning of the Indian outbreak,
Mr. Doddy was about a mile from the
house cu'ting wood, and one of the step-
and Schira, each with a team, wcro
while the other stop son was some dis
t noe acroPB the hills herding sheep
The savages first came upon the latter
and killed him, piercing his head ar.d
neck with arrows, Thoy then prooocd
ed nboutn mile nnd came upon the steps
son and Schira with their teams, whom
thev nlhO shot aud killed. ln:ivinc their
bodies mutilated with arrow-shots, aud j
nearly sovcriug Kravigan a head from j
' O
isassBsmamsssan
his body with an ax. Kravigau's
team had become frightened at the
shooting, and ran back to tho house,
which attracted Mrs. Doddy's attention.
Sho at once proceeded in tho direction
from which the team came, to asertaiu
the cause, when she was met by a baud
of six indians coming toward Lie house
who accosted her in a friendly manner,
and inquired where the old gentleman,
her husband, was, Never once dreaming
of their devilish intentions, she unsus
pectingly told them the locality where
Mr. Boddy was choping wood. The poor
woman then followed the trail of the
wagon for about a mile from where she
met the Indians, and there her gaze
met the horrid spectacle of her butch
ered and mutilated son, with the worm
blood yet oozing from hh gastly
wounds, his head severed from his Bud
dy by a bloody ax tl)at lay near by the
work of thete heartless fiends she had
just met. A short distance further lay
the lifeless body of Schira, presenting a
bimilar revolting sight. The harness
had been stripped from his horses, and
the Indiaus were spied just moving
across the hill with them. Just then
the report of a few rapid shots from
the direction where her husband was at
work, told the poor woman that his fate
had also been sealed, and she wildly
fled from the horrible scene to the
nearest settlement, about 10 miles dis
tant, leaving the bouse to take care of
itself.
Among the other things in the
house which die in her terror and
fright had left behind her, was over
$800 in coin, concealed in the mattress
of her banded, two fine Jgol J watches,
bclouging to her husband and son;
hanging in full view above the mantel
piece. On their return with an escort
a few days afterwards, the money was
discovered to have been sto'en from its
hiding-place, while the watches were
hanging just as the had left them.
This circumstance emacks strcnclv of
-omc wnue inaian s ingenuity. line
the red- devils were doing their bloody
work, tone light-fiinjL't red pal was in
their wake, in the de.picaMt capacity
of hanger on gleaning the epoils ther
of. It wa? not the work of the ludi
ans an the watcher would have went oh
'gitimate plunder, and no frar of
identity would have prompted tl cm to
have anything valuable behind, if t hoy
had vi'ited the house, as the lod.e of
their victims were even robbed of their
clothes. We hope the i-CMindrcl
whoever he nay be, may be detected.
and summarily treated to a dance in
thin air.

We are credibly inf'rme J that a cer
tain "Mock Duke,' of political wire
pulling and bob-tail railroad fame in
this Sfatf, is being: so cic ely pressed
by outraged law and long sufTerir g
creditors as to be in imminent danger
of having his personal liberty as well
as his business closed up. It is said
that he is skulking around Portland
like a hunted criminal, with the min
ions of the law hard upon his track
and every loop hole of escape wholly
cut off. He has made pcveral at
tempts recently to board hi? palace car
and fly Californiaw.ird but the closo
surveillance ofthc officials of the county
havcthus farprevnted his crcapcin that
way. lie has eluded the vigilance of
tho Sheriff, and thus prevented papers
from being served upon him, but as he
h wanted in the Federal as well as the
Circuit Courts within the State, it will
be diffulcult for him to successfully con
tinue to avoid the meshesof the law. The
air of Portland is thick with flying ru
mors of-his " ways that are dark," some
of which, if ttu3, will greatly jeopardize
his personal liberty after legal investi
gation is had. It it ovident that he
has played his cards to recklessly, and
that disgraco and ruin now prevss hard
upon his skulking footsteps. State
