KEIXY & WELLS. HAKE THAYER MANAGER. : Those who would attempt to sneer at ''Junius Brutus "and his criticisms of the Supreme are not backed by any whose opinions are of weight with . thinking people. The Ban Francisco Bulletin takes the opinion of ''Junius Brutus" 'in the Hewitt-Walker ease as in every way correct, and points in plain language to the injury such a Court's is likely to work to the State ; and the San Franeisco Argonaut, edi ted by Frank M. Pi x ley, is none the Jess severe in its remarks. In the Ar gonaut we find an extract which a cor- ... respondent quotes elsewhere. Could Anything be more severe? ; ; We might publish the Bulletin's ar ticle complete in order to prove that two of our noble Supreme Judges who are res! ly the Supreme Court of Ore- - gon, are really injuring the good rep utatlon of the State in a business point; but it is not necessary to more than state that this is the opinion, as expressed, by leading lawyers in Cali fornia and Oregon. If, as has been asserted, the Court and its twin Judges are regardless of taw to that extent that they will decide cases because and for the reason that it is to the interest of favorite", it Is certain there is no protection for either life or property. What capitalist is there who would invest his money in a State where it is believed the favorites of the Su preme Court would rob him of his just rights, as we have it stated to be true in the case in question, theCanyonville Road case and a , half dozen other cases ? There can be no law where men who decide the law do to only in favor of friends nnder the guise of public benefactors. If laws are made for anvthlnir it la that tnaitea m.v ta : rf J uoue to tue rigut. ; id lue jaw me question of public rights cannot be pushed so far as to justify personal robbery. The law punishes robbery, and it protects personal rights though a nation holds to the contrary, in pur suance of the principle that right wrongs no one. But the Chief Jus tice argues this way: ' It U dangerous to give the constructions" toihe statutes contended for having first surveyed and selected tbe part of the road to the canyon, could fix ita owu rates. We ought to construe it for public gjod rather tlian private gam. The point here that would be made is that those in whose favor the suit was decided are the public; but they constitute a corporation having the same rights to fix rates as would Abra ham and Willis, had the suit been decided in their favor. But friendship was carried to the extreme meaning of the term. The point stands in this case as in others, and that point is always cinch those who are opposed to you because they have no faith in your honesty and for this reason will oppose your election to the high and honorable positions you now occupy. If private and personal reasons are to govern then where is the use for law and law-making bodies t The Statute under such circumstances be comes an excellently written book of satire upon the decisions of tbe chief Court, aod Justice must Deforced to appear not only as a blind deity bat ragged and wretched and a child of charity begging for a home. The legi slature can, under such circumstan ces, but become a useless bill of ex pense to the people. The Governor might just as well pay other salaries aiud his own besides those of members of bis own Court. : For that matter, the people might turn over the man agement of the affairs of State to Thayer I.' It would save expenses if some trustful man could be found to hold the Governor; and, ; there would be no difference made so far as the business lute rests of the State are con cerned. It has gone forth broadcast that there is neither protection for life or property in Oregon. We cannot make our bill of expense larger nor can we gain a worse reputation in the sight of the business circles of tbe world outside the State. A Russian seronaunt recently had a narrow escape from the bewildered in habitants of a village on the Don. He had made an ascent from Rostow, and was about to alight when he saw a crowd collected below, and several shots were fired at him. On Hearing the ground he found a large assem blage armed with scythes, hatchets nd stoues. Be assured them that he was a mor al like themselves. A priest extended a crucifix, told him to cross himself like a man and a chris t'an. Re did so, but was not allowed to alight until a Cossack soldier had explained to the people the mystery of ballooning. Col. John B. Brownlow is credited with saying that the Republican party 1 n 1863 ought to have made a new State out of East Tennessee and let Virginia alone., In that ease a substantial and permanent gain would have been se cured to the Republican party in the South, whereas the creation of West Virginia, though uone with the purest of partizan motives, has proved again the other way. The Colonel's sugges jlon Is good one, and will do to file away for the next war. A M TBE ETECT10N. The result of the elections has been announced. Who knows anything more than he knew before that the result of the next presidential election Is yet a matter of doubt?! The Repub lic tn victory in New York lias devel oped nothing more than jthat Sta'e is about evenly divided, aud the odds in favor of the Republican $arty amount to the small matter of 500 or 600 votes. In a State so large this vote is a trivial figures and can be turned about and doubled the other way in the deciding of a were local struggle.! Some may not be able to see the relationship that may exist between a presidential elec tion and a county content; yet all who study know that a couaty contest often decides, in determining local issues, the political complexion! of a State, and the vote of a State can decide who shall be President Newj York stands la this position. Neither party can aSord to lose her electoral votes in the next contest, and neither can boast of a material advantage unless Tllden is the Democratic candidate. Then it' would appear that the ibitterness of Tammany against Tildeoj which found expression in tbe nomination of John Kelly, would find concentration and cause for more strenous effort against Tllden in person. In tbair event the Republican ; majority la New York would exceed 10,000, and then the Re publicans have the best chances. WHAT HE WANTS, There have been, numerous sugges tions offered why Gen- Grant persists in the statement that he; will not ac cept a nomination for a third term in the presidential chair We have heard and all remember what Oregon newspapers have said upon the subject; but now we mutt learn from our East ern neighbors. It is stated by a Washington correspondent of the St. Louii Republican that since tbe ad journment of the last congress a num ber of Gen. Grant's friends have had under 'consideration a suggestion, coming originally from a distinguish ed Southern soldier whose name is withheld for tbe present, but whose services in military and civic life have won for him the confidence and es teem of his people, as well as the re spect of the country at large, to create the office of captain general of the army, with suitable pay ; and allow ances, and to have the same tendered to U S. A. Grant, in recognition of his patriotic service in behalf of tbe onion; as welt as to afford him perma nent occupation in a congenial em ployment, the remainder of his life, This idea has been quietly canvanssed among the members of tbe senate and bouse who have visited ' Washington during the recess, as well as at Sara toga, Long Branch and white Sulphur Springs. It can be said that the pro position has been received with great favor, and will take shape in a bill accomplishing the purposes named early at the next session of congress. : j The London Athenaeum announces ft rather astounding recent invention, which, if what is said of it be true, will supersede the use of coal and wood for heating purposes. The correspondent who has seen it avers that it makes an instantaneous and perpetual fire of two substances exhaustless in nature, costing not one-tenth of our ordinary fuel, and causing no smoke, dust or trouble. The stove is a: part of the Invention, which can be regulated to boil milk for a baby or roast an ox at pleasure. It is said to. be a perpetual and economical source of fuel and heat for all purposes ' The New York Times says that it Is reported that the United States Sul preme Court will make a new rule. requiring that all minority opinions shall be submitted to a majority of the Justices before being published. Of course, this is provoked by the extra ordinary performance of Justice Field, who used language in reference to his associates' opinions which would not have been permitted from any at torney, at the bar. If our Supreme Judges use improper language, what can be expected of the press ? v There Is a strong suspicion in Den ver that the Mormons have had some thing to do with inciting the Indian outbreak. The suspicion is not with out good grounds, for the TJtes are well armed, and, apparently, have a good supply of ammunition. It is not im probable that they are also guided by a higher intelligence than their own, as some of their tactics show consider able judgment, and are contrarv to all precedent in Indian fighting. " Girton college for females, Cam bridge. England, was instituted some years ago as a test coll ege to demons trate the possibilities of an English womaq's education. An American girl, Miss Helen Magi 11, daughter of President Magill of Swarthmore col lege, Pennsylvania, has last carried off high honors in a scholarship worth $173 a year in a competitive examina tion In Greek, French and Latin. The college has all the advantages of th Cambridge professorships. A Washington county, Pennsylva nia, coroner's jury in an accident case returned the following curious ver dict : "Isaac Newton Trussell on the !lth of August, 1879, not having the fear of God before his eyes, but being seduced by the instigation of the devil, jumped or fell off the cars, ac cidentally, casually and by misfortune came to his death in manner and by means aforesaid, and not Otherwise." The reports of the State treasurer of Missouri shows a credit balance on th 31st of August of $430,020 19 of which $90,968 88 16 held by the bank of Commerce and $2,144,63 in the vauls of the treasury. The other items consist of the Mastin bank de posit, $280,668 21; the National Bank of the Slate deposit, $2. 842 50; Clinton county bonds, $48,CoO, nd the $49,000 and the $5,000 charged up to Reld and Chrisman. ' Senator David Davis is addressing sgricultural fairs in Illinois this fall and Is making himself solid several hundred pounds avorldapois with the grangers of that State. His prov- ervbial discretion, however, restrains him from any allusion to current politics. : He is supposed to have fences to repair, but intends to survey them carefully on both sides before stripping to the work. The opening of th e public shools In New York Indicates that the attend ance will be about one hundred and thirty thousand children during the coming year. The pnblio expense of educating that number is about twenty-five dollars ft head, or $3,250, MOfor the whole lot, THK SUPREME COURT. . Eoitob Independent : You will plea.e pardon me for offering a few thoughts upon ft subject that has called out so much comment from the. press of otberStates as wen asour own upon a subject involving the honor of our State I refer to the late decis ion of the Supreme Court of Oregon in the Walker-Teal case. I am no lawyer educated and skilled in the intricate meshes of jurisprudence where the occupants of tbe wool-sack show the amount of their legal lore of envelopng their astute opiulons and judicial decisions in a cloud of techni calities and garbled quotations from authorities that will cause many to stand aga pe with wonder and amaze ment at tbe wisdom displayed ; but I do claim to have some conceptions of innate justice and right I think I can distinguish between honesty and dishonesty the living up to the terms of ft contract solemnly entered into between parties. I had supposed the State courts were created for the pur- rmw of the fulfillment of the terms of a contract instead of free- Ins - a favorite from the onerous a conditions of his contract The Supreme Court of this State (Judge Boise, to bis honor belt said, dissenting) has set at naught this great fundamental and time-honored principle of English law by relieving one party, ft favorite it wouta seem to the Court, from his contract thereby defrauding an honest creditor. This outrage upon morality, this disgrace upon our State, this stain upon the character of the highest tribunal in the State, save one,' the people is perceived by the intelligent fair minded men everywhere. Accustom ed to look up to and obey authority the people hold their opinions in abeyance with regard to making a public protest (except at the ballot box and hence are seldom nearu, For that reason I have refrained from having my say on the subject until t.hn better oualifiel should raise their voice against this Iniquity. Having an eye on the public press the world's great conservator 1 And my views entertained by the best legal talent in the land. The best legal minds in this State and California condemn the decision as Immoral partial and unjust The San Francleco Bulletin and Argonaut commenting upon this de cision condemn it la tue severest terms. That prince of editors, Frank M.PixIey, of the Argonaut, thus cnti cizes this partial decision : "Then, ia an explanation due from the su preme Court of Oregon to the American bar lor Its decision in sue case oi iaiura xj. V.ltrr ami Henrv Iiawett vs. B Ooldsuiith and wife and Joseph Teal and wife We cannot read the decision in th: case with out coming to tbe conclusion that fund -mental m-inctDlesof law have been violated. and that the Dlaintifut have been robbed ot their money. Oregon had better laise th amount involved by popular subscription aod refund it than such a wrong hould go nnredressod. We decline from making such comment as we fear it Reserved in this oase Irom a personal respect we have entertained fur tbe c turt, and because this ia tbe first time its integmr has. so far a we know, ever been called in question." The San Francisco Bulletin, noti cing this decision, thus comments : Altogether we cannot but regard thla decision a unfounded both in law ;- and good morals; as likely to greatly weaken the respect which ought to prevail for decisions of the highe-t Court of a sover eign State and as calculated to produce niischieviou a effects farbtyond the amount invcWed is the case under consideration." ; Thus it appears that the sovereign State of Oregon occupies no enviable position in the ey es o fa sister Stite; and thus our State must suffer a foul stain upon her good name in consequence of imbecile occupants of the Supreme bench who hold the majority aud render tbe decisions of the Court Rut what better could we expect from men who tried t cheat the State out of its choice for President, by try ing to purchase an elector ? But this disgrace tbe people will wipe out next June, by putting houest, faithful and just men in tbe place they now fill by chance. If, tiowever, the people will retain them in their seat, then upon our own State will fall the dark mantle of obloquy and disgrace and she will enter the list as a highway robber. Let Peter Simple and Patrick C J. "go where the woodbine : twinetb," that the State's good name may stand un blemished, unsullied and unstained. . ; AROU8. : The litttle town of Verona, Miss., seems to be a sort of wonder of wond ers. In the first place, ft prominent railroad man stationed there says it beats the State for morality. Then there is a little seven-year-old boy living there who kicks the beam at 140 pounds. A 6-yeur-old-girl milks her mother's cows, and ft little 4-year- old boy plays piano duets with his mother like ft little Rubinstein. The Coos County Argus thinks we were mean in publishing our partner as a married man previous to bis departure for Coos Bay. Now don't say that. We knew when be weut to Coos Bay be would go among good people; and then you know tbe best of things are evenly divided, or ought to be. ! : ! w , Henry Ward Beecher having tasted lager beer and pronounced it good, a Toronto brewery has kindly filled the Brooklyn preacher's cellar with .a brand of tbe article.
