PAUiAS, SATUKJMT OCT.U
OCJR REASONS,
In our last week's issue we gave some
of our reasons for supporting Col. Nes
mith for Congress, and it seems that
the article waa the cause of com
ment by some of the State papers, a
mong which was the Sta.esman)
which paper, it seems to us, contained
criticisms upon portions of our article
which were by no means in strict no
i'cr !ance with joum tlistio decorum. Jiy
what authority the Statesman declares
that, wo trying to damn Mr. Nesmith
we know not. We cannot understand
by what kind of gramatical or common
sense construction, the editor could
torture our article into an effort to
damn Mr. Nesmith. What kind of
a reason wouW the editor of the States
man have ns gi?e for our support of
Nesmith? would he desire us to say,
that Col Nesmith while in Congress
made a disloyal record? most certainly,
thai would be not only unjust, but
Untrue in fact. Our advice and appea
was made to Republicans in general
and to Liberal Republicans in particu
lar, which last named, are well organU
iced m rolk county, and so tar as we
aro informed will vote for Nesmith
in a body, and to a man What other
reason should or could we hare given
to induce that class of citizens to sup
Mr. Nesmith '( We did not intend our
appeafro apply to the fewwhojclaim to be
of Dcmoratic rebel proc'ivities,we do not
nor does Col Nesmith expect that
the few men in Oregon who entertain
those sentiments could be induced to
support him. Mr. Nesmith as well as
ourselves, expects that he will be sent
to Congress by the votes of the loyal ele
xnent of the State, not by rebel
sympathizers. We could demonstrate,
this idea in many ways, for instance
not many days since a gentleman
stepped into our office on business, and
in speaking of the merits and demerits
of the respective candidates for Con
gress, the gentleman remarked that
he could not support My. Nesmith."
Somewhat anxious to understand the
reason, we modestly inquired, and
received about this answer.- "You
know, Sullivan, 1 am a rebel dyed in
the wool?" I have always so regarded
you.wc replied." Well sir'he continued,
vou know Mr. Nesmith, while iu Con
gria did ll lv ou!d against' ua, and
UWU I W UUUUICj UC
Would not help us, for this reason G
d -him I will not support him,' nor
will any of my kind." Dow could we
under such circumstances, do more for
Mr. Nesmith than to show up. his loyal
record, and make our appeal to loyal
men to stand by Mr. Nesmith, and if
possible make good the number of
rebels who should desert him in this
his second struggle for a position, that
would! again enable this able statesman to
take a rrominenl part in the overthrow
of any effort to resurrect the Southern
Confederacy, and Jackson like, strike
down iu its incipency, any overt act of
treason, or attempt at nulificatiou,
State's Supremacy, human slavery or
repudiation; We shall bee if the Stales
man possesses the fortitude to retract its
construction.

New York, October 8. The Tribune
this morning publishes the translation
of two reports of the Union Pacific
Railroad. From the Tribune's state
ment it appears that two years ago the
U. P. Railroad attempted to negotiate
the sale of large quantities of its bonds
in Europe. Applications was made to
the Union Bank of Vienna, and also
to capitalists in Berlin, and the result
was the appointment of two Comrais
ioners, who came over to America and
made a personal examination of the
road and part of the region through
which it passed. Two reports ero
made, one to Berlin captal'usts, and the
other to the Union Bank of Vienna.
The reports presented iu pretty strong
light the advantages of the II. P.
Railroad, aud tho extent of traffic thft
road must ultimately obtain. They
concurred in the opinion that for same
years after its completion the Company
would be unable to pay interest on it
bonds, and agreed in advising Euro
pean capitalists nut to invest in it.
The advice of the examiners was
adopted and the negotiations at 'Berlin
and Vienna fell through.

Last evening a little girl, aged about
11 years, was found by officer Buck in
oue of the houses of ill fame on Second
street, where fhe had ben decoyed by
a proeuTss. On being tnken by the
officer i'rotn the abode of infamy ?hc
told her story, which was certainly- a
pitful one it true.Thcgirl gave her name
as Mary K. Sullivan. She said that
she lived in Kalama , her father went
to tho States some time ago, leaving
her and her mother alono and unpro
vided for. He r mother, she said, had
beat her and treated her with great
crucify for a long time, and which
culminated, last week, in tho parent
driving the child away from home.
She was told by the inhuman mother,
that if she ever oame back again, she
(tho' mother) would kill her. After
wandering about and cncoarHcring
much trouble, the girl liad managed
to get to Portland, where she soou
aftor fell into the hands of the vile
creature, in whose house she was found
by the, officer. Promises of kind
treatment, food and clothing were made
her, and she in child like simplicity,
thought that there was nothing Wronsr
io execptiug the hospitality thus
tendered by tho debased and evil
minded woman, who was peeking to
reap a reward for the part she was
acting in juring innocence to ruin and
disgrace. When the character of tbo
houso and the inmate was explained by
the officer the child envinced great
willingness to abandon both. Ques
tioning tho propriety of placing so
young a gill in jail for the night,
officer Buck at lengh obtained admiss
ion for her in a privato family where
she remained last night. To-day the
matter will be investigated. If tl e
child'sj statements of tho wrong she
has endured, are true, the heartless
mother shonld be made to suffer; and,
at all eveuts, it is jq iustanco which
illicits tho most- lively sympathies fo
tho fate of tbo hapless wanderer, and
should call for prumpt assistance.

accidcut near Roseburg on S unday
