SATURDAY DEC 28, 1878
CONVICTED OF MANSLAUGHTER.
J.K. Mercer, on trial in the
-city f Portland for the killing
of MacdoiiaM, wan decided
guilty of manslaughter by the ju
rvjby compromise between de
fecdent and the prosecuting attor
ney. The tuotning after the trial,
the Oregonian editorially uhowed
its spite by attempting to influence
the Judge presiding in the case
aa to the penalty for the crime
committed. It is true thai Mercer
committed un outrageous crime,
and that he should be punished in
proportion thereto ; but a true
newspaper will never attempt in
any case to influence Judge or ju
ry io the trial of any man or in
4he decision ot any case. When
the Oregonian attempts to dictate
"what shDuld be Mercer's pnaishs
mem, it was regard!es? of the law
that guarrantees a fair end unpre
judiced trial, and that moment it
insulted the intelligence ot the
Judge and the dignity of the
'ourt ; dnd no one would object if
Judge Bellinger would learn the
Mat boy" that, even though be is
the editor of the Oregonian, he
roust show the breeding ol a gen
tleman and the honesty and fair
mindedness of a respestable and
true ciizen.
SHORT-HORNS FOR THE DAIRY.
At the meeting ot the Indiana
Dairymen's Association at Indiau
anapohs daring the late fair, Dr.
Stevenson said tbat he comenccd
the dairy business at a very old
age, and follows it because he likes
it, and because it pays. The
business is cor.stautiy bringing in
money. He milks a herd of fif
leeu cows 01 tue common stock,
and grades from Shorthorns, and
breeds them to a Shorthorri bull
De sold the first produce of his
cows this year at four and a quarter
dollars pe hundred, their weight
averaging seveuteen hundred
pounds; thinks that the profits ot
dairying are greater than any other
kind ot tannine. He prefers Short
horns for the dairy, lie can make
one-half pound of butter per day
to a sow fcr a season of ten
months, lie thought that the
dairy business is better then any
other kind ot farming ; sells the
butter at twentyifive cents per
pouud, and raake forty dollars
per year to the cow ; says that the
lig8 will leave their crn to eat
the skimmed and buttermilk, and
that the calves that are raised on
skimmed milk winter better than
those.that run with the cows.
All to be Looked After.
Iti answer 10 an article publish
ed in this paper last week, the Sa
lem Statesman "says:
Yhe Kosebug Independent
Deed have no fears ou this subject.
Gov. Chadwick will only be call
ed to account tor his own acts.
Governor Groveraiid the "organ
ized officers" will ea?h get his due
proportion of just indignation if
nothing more. The raid on the
school fund made by Grover
through the straw security of the
West Portland Ilomesiead Asso
ciation will be chargeu to the
chief organizer. The deliberate
purloining of $40,000 interest ot
the school fund during the years
ot 1871 and 1872 will be charged
up against the Board. But shall
not now particularize the many,
deed of infamy committed by the
different members the "organized
offices" in advance of the commit
tee's report but we can assure our
Hoseburg friend that the commit
tee will do the just thing and re
port tha facts as they "find them
let-it hurt whom it may. The
motto ..f the committee is, "Let
no guilty man escape."
The war deportment expend.
lu'es for the year enbing June
30th, 1877, were 02,618,888,69
less than tor the nrennns fW;l
year, and the expenditures f.-r the
year ending June 30th. 1878,
were $4,324,734,54 Jess than for
the year ending with JW '77.
The. Secretary's estimate for the
.year beginning with July next is
-40,387,718,33.

has been travelling:
As Washington territory no

Congress, another, his successor

so Columbia county, and Dayton
in particular, boasts of Douglas
county material among her many
inhabitants. Mucii, her very best
as among the old Umpquaites, I
noticed Jesse Day, who is the pro
prietor of Dayton, and i3 quite
wealthy. Dicklvearns, as he was
known m the Urupqua, is owner
of a large and profitable livery
stable, besides owning other town
property of value. Charley Pond

also rcules Mjnie distance from
Dayti'ii, and is well todo; also
William Walters, Moses i'asley,
Georgie Chapman, the Wi.itemore
boys and an old frieul. Mr. Shrinn.
Here also the writer met Mr. Easi
ham.editor of the Dayton Chronicle,
once ot O'-egon- a most affable
gentleraau and a firmer classmate
of the Independent Junior.
Dayton
is a very flourishing town nearly
it not the size of lioseburg, aud
has about 800 inhabitants. It is a
well built town, and comprises a
well established woolen factory,
tour substantial churches, grist
mills, some neat private dwellings,
private residences, aud among the
many bu'iiess houses some brick
buildings not omitting mention
ottwo large hotels-one has a man-,
sard roof. Town property is htld
very high. Some Jots od main
street sold at the rate ot seventy
five doHars per loot, 120 feet in
depth.Uuimp oved lots across the
creek entirely separate from the
main iown are sold at 150 aud
$200 each.
THE PROFESSIONS
are well iep.-eented as to number,
there being pbout six doctor and
eight attorneys. At each session
of tbs district court the Walla
Walla Bar is well patronized
Judge Wingarr,an old Pensylvan

He is au elegant old gentleman,
popular wi'h the Bar and dignifi

equally well liked, and a couiteous
gentleman. The Bar d cket at

comes an expression ot satisfaction

qualification generally, seems
most remarkable w hen one side of
the piciu.-e is presented seldom
seen among ,fhe sunshine views,
end that is the
DEATH BATE,
which, to an impartial observer, is
gloomy indeed. Seldom a family
is eeen but has lost so.ue dear

tbe past two years 80 liitie graves

little fellows lie all from one fam
ily. The age, most ready to fall
see .is to be from 10 down to in

the ;ourge has been more calam

counties, and thence northerly in
to Wnlla Walla, Columbia,
Whitman, and Stephens counties;
though it is not 60 fatal in propor
tion as far north as Spokane falls.
These alarming disorders in the
infant liealth has now continued
tor ten years, the physicianr here

little ot the nature of the diphthe

remedy. The adult health on the
contrary is inferior to no country,

The Sjlern Statesman is author
ity for the statement that Judge
Thompson, ot Eugene, was arrest
ed lor dawing a pistol upon W.
II. Watkinds in the legislative
committee room, at Salem, on
M'.-nday last. Tuesday evening a
report reached this city to the ef
fect that Wntkins Lad t-hot the
Judge. The Statesman's story is
correct; and upon examination
before a Justice of the Ptace
Jucige Thompson was discharged
as blameless.
To ctcupe jury duty all that is
necessary is to join the Reformed
Presbyterian church. A New
York member of that communion
bus successfully objected to ser
vice on the ground that inasmuch
"3 God is not acknowledged in
the constitution he cannot consci
entiously incorporate with the
government.
