It b stated that the Democracy will make the beat fight possible in Southern Oregon at the next election to seoore eontrol of the Su preme and Dutrina Onib u tv -i of XsVmoeratin JnAiM - TVm. .f are bow laying plans to seoore the nomina tions of favorites one la Jackson county, in tam county, ana tne uura in joenwn. ine cboloe of these three for Su preme Judge is Priram, and for Circuit Judges of the first and second districts. v - Haana and John H. Thompson. wny this laying; of plans and concert of action, when neither of. the gentlemen named sau urge their claims because of their own individual popularity or demand on the part of the paoplo. ia diffiealt to im agine. We will not state just yet that it is for the reason they are afSiotad with a dis ease or mania peculiar with those who hare onoe held office. We might be unfair should we say they are putting np a Job for their own benefit. It would probably be oonsid ered unjust by a few should it be area intis mated that some one behind the throne is pushing the organs forward with the hope of accomplishing a job through the Judges provided they are elected , There ia one important point to be eonsid. - erod when election day rolls round, anl voters are abrut to oast their ballots for Judges a Judge should not be a politician and his is not a political office. The people should remember that in this matter it should not be with them whether a candi- date is a Republican or a Democrat, but rather whether he will make the best Judge. - Their interests demand this much. And they should beware of a political Judge. When a candidate of thia kind is found one that will lay plana as is reported some are doing it should be remembered that such Judge ia a politician and a trade; for offioe, a political wire-puller, and the chances are his hands hare been dirtied by a scheming mind directing the setting-up of primaries and the stocking of conventions, "MOTHER PEANUTS." Editor iNDBPKNnKsr: In a recent issue of your paper I read an article oensuring .the Oregonian for the animosity it shows to a man who has shown himself to be an ac tive and most worthy public servant. I re t; ax-Senator J. li. Mitchell. - It is al "wsys a sorry sight to we a great journal st entiiely carried away by personal spite. The following is a copy of a letter which I wrote ' to the Oregonian and mailed March 24th, this year. It ia needless to say that it nev er appeared: - Ed. Oregonian: Will yon kindly permit a subscriber to call attention to one aids of two questions, now of great interest to a majority of your readers T I refer to the . railroad question, so long and earnestly dis cos9ed, and also what points or advantages should be considered necessary to recom mend any place aa a site lor the proposes harbor of refuge. As regards the railroad question there ia . one aide which I have never seen in print , and which, I fear, disagrees with your views . and those of Portlanders in general. You have frequently expressed the idea that Portland would become a great seaport in t)a jmrnt nf the Simcaa of the N. P. R R notwithstanding that that road would bavs aline terminating at some-place on the .Sound. Such hope would never be realized. My opinion in the matter is based upon the following proposition: 1st. A ton of wheat raised ia Idaho, or Eastern Oregon could be laid down on the Sound as cheaply ss at Port- geious bar and paying a high river pilotage and towage. 2d. Ho gnat overland railroad could prosper and compete with the C. P. K. K. of California wita no better seaport than Portland as . its terminus. 84. With the N. P. R. R. eompleted as an overland ., route, having a terminus on the Sound and another at Portland, that city would be , placed in the same position as Sacramento occupies in California. , The great distribu ting point would be at deep water on the .Sound I suppose Eastern Oregon and Idaho cares but little for tbe individual saooess of either Portland or Seattle, but will ship by such route as their interests dictate. Now, if above propositions are correct, then Sena tor Mitchell's views are also oorreot, to-wit : Either a railway terminating at Portland inXy, or no railroad at all of a tranaoonti - nental character. My belief is that your city would do far better if the N. P. R. K. ' should not touch the Columbia at all at any navigable point, but that instead of it, a number of abort local lines of railroad were made to center there, with perhaps a line to the Coast at such plaoe as shall be selected for the harbor ot refuge, to ascure a shorter and swifter passenger route to Ssn Francis co. Also build up your river trade and pre vent the portage from being used as a lever - of oppression. Tk. mi? An Itartmr ' mattav T will here omit, as the time for discussion on that head ia about past. But it is well known if e ever have such a habor on our coast we may consider it largely owing to the efforts made by Mitchell, and his good . judgment in railroad matters is nearer very cation than most people suppose. Very re spectfully, yours, W. a Labbntzkh, Port Orford, July lltb, 1878. STILL BETTER. Last week we explained how, through untiring effort, tbe present county admin istration had in one year reduced tbe in debtedness of the county over five thous and dollars. This week we have farther good news to the tax-payers. It appears thfct there has been a redaction in the cost of all the offices, and that the expenses of government have been reduced one fifth In amount annually. Coupled with this re duction we are given to understand that Assessor Strange is progressing so well with hi assessing that the prospect la, at the next September turn the tax levy of tbe county will be reduced to twenty mills on . the dollar instead of twenty-two as at present. Even with this decrease ia taxs fttlon. the good work of reducing the county de'ut Mil continue as rapidly as daring tha year ending with the first of this month, and with les taxa to pay the people will have the satisfaction of know ing within one year from the present that Douglas county is free from debt.

CORRESPONDENCE. Ed. Ihsbpendsmt la the issue of last week's Star we noticed the speech deliver ed at Seattle by General Joseph Lane of your city. The reader cannot h-lp admira log it whether be be a Republican or a Democrat. Such sentiments uttered at such a time as this, are noble iadeed; they are the production of a master mind, and could have em ins ted from no one save a great patriot and illustrious hero. Not a partizan word nor a litical sentiment was heard. The history of America ia replete with examples of heroic daring and wonderful endurance oi her gallaut sons. Military glory la always attractive. The young student of history manifests little interest in the lives of philosophers and statesmen . but what jouthful bosom doet not glow a1 the recital of the brilliant achievements o' Alexander and Ctesar Napoleon and Wash ington? The people of America may forge thenamea of many of her dUtinpuishe-i statesmen, but time can sever cast it shadows far enough to obscure the nsm of Joseph Lane. Why la he immortal? B. cause bis plume floated in the smoke ot battle. : Hundreds and thousands have' planted their banners on the ' perilous edge of battle" aud gathered their fol lowers to the carnival of death; but on tbe illimitable field ot fame, sentineled by the heroes of all ages, there are but lew equals of Joseph Lane. Our children and our children's children will gather siouud knees tremulous with age to ht-ar from lips quivering with unuttera ble ' emotion, . the story : of : his achievements. Notwitbstsnding time has placed its sign upon his brow and age has weakened his manly form, yet he pos sesses integrity as immovable a ' the eternal hills ; honor as firm ss the rock- ribbed mountains ; courage as lofty as the peak that towers abov'fr. the world : truth as unsullied as light of heaven, and charity aa boundless as the sea. "One such ex ample ia worth more to earth than the stained triumphs of ten thousand Ceeaare." Who does not admire his wisdom and his grestness ? Let no one underrate his vir tues. Like Napoleon, he was born to be noted la every sphere of life- great ia his triumphs and in retirement greet. Tbe bigotted politician may strive to stigmatise his fair name by calling him "ex-rebel" and all that kind of folly, yet he will be ever dear to .he American heart, aa J wiT continue to live "as long as winds shall blow around t :e eoncavities 01 tliemuuctalue yea, a ongaa heaven shall sustain the star. true uis nationality is of Southern origin, yet it de tracts naught from Ins fame. Every sec tion of our country Is honored snd reaped ed by every true patriot. The past is at least sesore. Look at ber history 1 New England gi ve to the struggle for American Irdepend.-nce her Adams, but the South is tbe native land of Washington. New England is the birth place ot Webster, but the liiibt of a Southern sky first blaa-d up on the vision of Calhoun and . Southern breezes first fanned tbe brow of Uenry Clay. No more may our land be drenched in blood; but may the North and the Souti , tne just and the West, uniting in a nationally ot equal States, carry forward the American Republic in a career of hon or and glory unparalleled in tbe histo ry of nations. Citizen, Oaxxaxd Oregon, July 19. 1879. A statement made in the the annual re- prrt of Mr. Watson, the City Chamberlain of Glasgow, on the vital, social and eco nomic statistics of thst city lor the past year, which has just been issued, shows the fallacy of certain popular notions. Of the 14,148 deaths recorded daring the year in Glasgow, no fewer than 8,686 were those or infants under five years of age. In putting the question. Whence arises this infantile mortality ? Mr. Watson says that more than one hundred years ago, when the facn tory system was not in existence, and whisky ; was almost unknown, and when Glasgow waa little more than a considera ble village, the experience as to the infan tile mortality was not greatly dtscimitar. This fact will be received with some dis pleasure by those who hold that tetotalism is a panacea for all evils ; but it is at least worth their attention. Daring some years past the operations of the saving banks in France have increas ed In a very remarkable manner. In Des cember, 1875. they had received a capital of 667,000,000f ; on the 81st of December, 1878, the balance exceeded a million. The exact amount was l,026.459.000f. The in crease in three years was consequently sbout 859.500.000f.
