SATUBDAY..... SEPT. 27. J879
CanRht at His Own Game.
The other day a drummer known as
T. P. Fpits arrived in tbla city, and
announced that he Intended going to
Coos Bay. With hi uul politeness,
the owner of the Co bay Stage lln
asked Spits when lie wished lo start
that a scat might he resei ved for him
in the stage. Spitt named the day.
On that day the proprietor of the liue
waited upon Spitz to learn if he were
ready, and Spits anewsred in the
negative. The seat reserved was the,u
given to another traveler, but just the
evening before the stage started in the
morning Spitz put in an appearance
and claimed a place in the stage.
The proprietor told him that all the
seats were full, and that he must wait
until the next trip. Bpitz swore and
cursed; he had everything to say that
was mean; and the proprietor of ihe
line said nothing until tfpita became
extremely insulting and then Mr.
Clough took a hand " and " held
four aces 1 The result of the whole
ITUsiness was, Mr. Clough was arrested
at the instigation of Bpitz, and fined
$5 and costs. - Then again Mr. Clough
held a " top hand," and had Spitz ar
rested for using obscene language.
The latter employed an attorney for
the earn of $10. The attorney was not
licensed to practice before the Citv
Recorder, and Spitz paid the liceuse
fee. The trial began, and Spitz's face
was radiant with smiles. The evidence
against him, however, was conclu
sive, and he was sentenced to pay $5
and costs $10 in" all. 8pitz did
laugh then. He looked like a man
who In August first discovers " water
millions is ripe."! He had not only
41 taken water J' when an opportunity
was given him to fight, but his little
fun had worst of all to him had
cost him the enormous sum of $25 !

Another Pardon;
One of our Willamette exchanges
brings us information to the effect that
Dan Clark has been pardoned from the
penitentiary by Governors Bush and
Thayer. Dan is a Douglas county no
torious, and has represented this por
tion of the State' in the penitentiary
for the past ten or twelve years. He
is, to put it mildly, a natural-born
kleptomaniac, and la noted for the
unhappy faculty of leading off from
their pastures horses not his own.
While confined within the thick walls
of the State's house of punishment he
has always been struck with a relig
ious fervor, and having a good voice
he has " laid it over toe other coves "
by leading the prison choir and ex
horting from the prison pulpit in a
manner that would put an old-time
Baptist to blush. We hope there is
yet a chance for Dan.
Passed Through.
Col. John E. Ross and party passed
through town on Wednesday on their
way to the State Fair. The Colonel
had with him some fine specimens of
Jackson county horses. One (a four-year-old
Lion Heart) which neasured
eighteen handsin height in the low
est point in the back from the ground,
and which weighed 1,664 pounds. To
measure from the top of the fore
shoulder down the colt stood 18 1-2
ha ud j high. There were in the lot two
other hordes which weighed 1,400
each, of the same breed, and a Ham
Metouian stallion that : showed the
points of a thorough-bred. Col. Boss
will probably sell the horses mention
ed at the State Fair for good prices.
Scamperdown in Douglas County.
It should be with pleasure that our
stockraisers will learn that the cele
brated racer and thoroughbred stallion,
Scamperdown, the property of Jos. Xi.
Clough, has been brought to this city,
and hereafter will remain in this
county. The day after his arrival, the
stallion was shown on the streets, and
the gonerai remark was: "What
hue animal ! " We would advise our
xtock raisers to see Scamperdown. at
tbeir earliest convenience, and learn
the value of this horse and his colts.
Articles of Incorporation.

Emfibe City, September 26. A
new and exciting discovery was made
yesterday by the United States Sur
veyors while eoundingoutside the Coos
Bay bar. Their sounding lead drop
ped into six or ten fathoms of water,
or to the depth on an average of forty
eight feet, and came up covered with
gold.
Quite an excitement prevails here
among all classes, and it Is surmised
that we are to have a novel and very
profitable gold excitement.
Senator Slater and Tony Noltner,
editor of the Portland Standard, and
quite a large party from Empire City,
went over the bar this morning on the
tug boat Escort in company with
Lieutenant Paysou.
There are good gold diggings on the
beach opposite where this rich discov
ery was made, and one of the oldest
and most reliable residents of this
county says that from ten to twelve
dollars per day were realized by par
ties working the beach, and the pay
streak always lead in the direction of
the present strike outside the bar.
What the result of the present dis
covery will be can only be a matter of
conjecture ; but all here are satisfied
that there will soon certainly be some
practical means devised whereby
these valuable gold mines located In
in the depth of the ocean will be profit
ably worked. There is no doubt as
to the richness of the gold deposit dis
covered ; it remains only to find a
way to reach it.
The excitement produced here by
the discovery can be better illu.-trated
by the message transmitted by tele
graph to San Francisco this morning :
To Captain Holt, San Francisco :
Keep your pumps here. Surveyors
have found a bed of pure gold dust in
six to ten fathoms of water. The
sounding lead comes up coated with
gold. John Flannaqan.
ARRIVAL OF SENATOR- SLAT Eft
Senator lames H. Slater arrived in
this city last Wednesday evening, ac
companied by bis reputed "man Fri
day," Toney Noltner, of the Portland
Standard. Mr. Slaters welcome at tne
depot was not what was expected, for
the news of bis coming was telegraphed
ahead of bis arrival , several hours.
The Senator, was greeted in welcome
by only two parties (A. A. Fink and
L. F. Mosher). Escorted by the twain
be reached the Metropolitan Hotel ;
and from the time he was shown to
bis room until the Coos Bay stage de
parted in the morning, the Senator
and "Friday" (were not visible but to
the, two who had constituted them
selves his guard of honor. There was
none of the enthusiasm and kindly
spirit which welcomed Senator
Mitchell's return to Oregon upon sev
eral different occasions no reception
or general handshaking ; silently he
came, and like the Arab in the night,
or early morning, he folded his tent
and stole silently away to Coos Bay.
Had our prominent citizens taken the
matter In hand, the reception would
have been different. As It was, only
the strength of a little ring was rep
resented in its two leaders the ring,
perhaps, that traded off Southern Ore
gon interests in the last Senatorial
election at Salem to further selfish and
personal ends. It may be that through
the workings of that ring the people
of Southern Oregon have come to look
upon Senator Slater as an outsider,
having no common " interest - with
them ; therefore, they cannot show
him the welcome accorded to Senator
Mitchell at all times and irrespective
of party until the "Black Prince" has
given evidence stronger than mere
words that he is their friend. Senator
Slater and Friday have gone to Coos
Bay to look after the wants of that sec
tion. We hope that he will learn our
wants and faithfully work for their
promotion. When 1 e shows that he
is our frieuil, "Souther i Oregon people
will give him a 1 early welcome
whenever he pays them a visit.

Our soft hearted (or soft headed)
friend of Calapooia, has postponed his
proposed trip to Paris. His items in
regard to the Independents in this vi
cinity are untrue. He don't seem to
be any better posted in regard to the
number of Independents than he is in
his knowledge of English grammar.
He wants us to "breath gently" which
with all due respect to his high moral
standing in society we are willing to
do Our friend seems to have " lo
quashus lo quendl scribendi" and we
are sorry that f. man with such a gi
gigantic, incomprehensible intellect
should be confined to so small a field
of labor. Why waste "your fragiance
on the desert air," when there is such
a demand ror men of genius and learn
ing in the East men of your mental
calibre should not be wading through
Oregon mud, but contrary to the ad
vice of Horace Greely, go east, young
man. Go to your native State, write
for the Memphis Appeal, Nashville

waste your brains In Oregon. We no

when they receive the intelligence
that our friend has eiven up his pro
