: 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.

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.
