DOUGLAS IN DEPENDENT has the largest- cirruiation of any per publL-lied in RoseburR In the eauntie of Douglas, Jarkson and Coos, Mad will furnbth the proof of our asser tion whea demanded by responsible ad vertisers. KELLY & WELLS. i' A DDI 1 IOWA L PROOF. "We have often asserted that a mixed, Indcrernleiit administration of eounty affairs is a benefit to the county is which such investment in politics is made. As often have we given proof as to tbe truthfulness of our assertions In the premises. The' present admin istration of county affairs is decidedly mixed so fur as concerns the two uolH Ical parties in the matter of the polit cal complexion of those who are hold ing office. The sheriff, clerk and treas urer and one county commissioner are democrats, but their influence and their work have .been and are venly balanced by the majority of republicans who sit in the couuty and -commiMiioners' court one judge and one commissioner. From the com mencement of the work of the present mixed admiulstiation there has been n evidenced pnrpot on the part of -every officeholder to cut down expen- : seS, an 1 economically administer county affairs. The targe and burden some couuty debt, which began with the black mud swindle of $1.j,iO0 and which confronted the present office holders iu the shape of a heavy load to: begin with, indepeudent- of the trouble to direct and provide for the expenses to accompany another tear's work, has been wiped out of existence. This was promised for the mixed administration before its election by this paper. That there In reality exists no county ifldeWeduess to-day la evidencttpflotiiiy in the faet that -county, yurTrauta command one per ot. prenii m upon go d, but outside of that one important fact, are accepted by the sheriff in full i. mount for Ul taxaliou. ben tbeie is another fact In proof, pleasing to taxpayers. Last Monday morning Couuty Treasurer Wright sent below, to the State Treas urer, the sura of $2,533 50 iu 8tate taxes,' making the whole amount sent up to the date staled, to the rMaie Treasurer, 901 6S. The balance to beseutl ouly 12,000, and thtit wt t be forwarded befoie ibe expiration of the litae allowed by law for the pay ment of such taxes, i he pint here is, that for the flfel lirje iu three years State taxes have been paid without Crowding the time p .escribed, and Douglas county was the first it pay BUte taxes of all Uie cocmies iu the State. ': Aud the county treasurer also informs us that he bat knowu wealthy men meu who appreciate valuable, interefct-beaiinj securitiesto i oiue to the sheriff and pay their taxes iu goitt cola when they we e , possessed of lnterestrbeurliig couuty wai rants, thereby showing that th v valued the warrants iu their poa tes.-ioa mre than what is often termed the "almighty tweuo-di.!ar piece." One wealthy geuUernan, whose nsoie we suprea-t for obvious reasons, when pay ill'' his taxes, atuouiilin; tS .2 0 or $1,SC0, dropped in besides his gold, one single eounty warrant, calling for $2, and sighed because his cha..ge was not suf ficient to make up the full auout.t, and that the warrant was not valuable enough to pay him for the trouble he might experience in huuting up some one who bad 2 to loan him for a short lime, n is ceoin lne warrant, as small in am unto it was would never - have left his pockeUwok, had he knowu before the total .amouut of taxes he bad to pay. What other county in the State ia there to-dy under partisan manage ment can boast of this much 7 There is not one in all Oregon. Where is the adiiilnislralton within the last five veais of local government done bitter? Jt is true, there waufl time in the history of ths county before when the couuty wus out 'of di'lit. But that Is noihing in comparison to the pre ent. That was a time before unscup- olous democrats and unscrupulous republicans were allowed to form rlne having for its purpose the plun deriitg of the people. That was time when republican anil democraii candid ites were" nt the result of the coulviDs;s of a rinsr the members of which cared more for pelf than prin- ' clpie or honesty. , Iheu no ring bad ever plunired the county into debt to the amount of $!' ,000 to perpetrate black mud swindle, which will be emcmljered as long as any of the rrtsent irenjeration of taxpayers in tht county have existence. But the mixed administration is the honest choice of the people who voted for every member of it bei-ause they believed each member wi au honest and capable man. That th rrsutis are gratifying is proof of the wisdom and xood jiulgmeut of the peo ' pie wheu they are left free to act for - themselves, and rt not trammeled in 1 their utterances or driven to the poll to vote as so many sheep to the slaughter by the com maud of party leaders. It is further proof that when the people are their own masters they generally have what thy most de ire to coma about to suit their own Ishes. Till belDg true, where is the r-fitment agilust the people always t;if their own masters? Who will v that it ia ft necessity with them t; a they go to Vrt Naders fof ia- J '"al --.V "Sts SSSWSSS tractions how to vote c? have party leaders pick out the cfandiJates for them to elect to office?? ! The man who would argue that I the power of nomination must exist in party lead ers, asserts that the American peo ple are incapable of thinking for themselves, and to Mil intents and purposes contends that the matter of government for the people by the people is sheer nonsense, and should never be thought of by the people. It is the duty of independents to oppose all such reasonera as would argue that they must have a master to ar gue and reason and act for them, as the democratic and republican leaders in this cou'uty claim they have a right They should do as they did nearly two years ago. They made a venture then and it was a profitable one. The work is to done again, and all to be performed by them. Let them again make the effort, and turn ing a deaf eir to the party managers, assert their freedom which gives them a right to think and acti for them selves. ; BE ABOVE SUSPICION. It is a matter of amusement to see how the members of the Roseburg ring is now working in its efforts to secure control of the county at the next election, supported, as It is clear ly to be seen, by its two papers both eakly. Jn the first place, we hear democrats agreeing for the uomina Hon of a republican now holding public position for the nlace of con gressman for Oregon.' Again, we hear the same democrats urging the nom ination of another republican for office arguing that said republican will defeat certain democrat ! How much love for parly is there in all such proceed ings ? Woul J not a man of common sense say mat such democrats were democrats for the time being, and be cause they can thus serve their own private ends, and would not a man with the intelligence mentioned be- live that such democrats are more de sirous of pocketing a dollar or two, ot two or three thousand dollars, than to work the promotion of, a priuciple of an honest paity ? For our part we cannot be otherwise than suspicious of candidate for the nomination for congress on the republican ticket who finds advocates before the1 nomination on the democratic side of the house, nor have we anything otherwise than suspicion of the another candidate. It looks strange, at least, when such men are the choice of democrats, and such democrats are members of a cor rupt political ring. In this writing il is not our purpose to pen our thoughts in Greek or to write in Latin. Plain English suits our purpose best. And our purpose is to benefit both the can. didatea named. We but speak for the great public which looks upon the ring as dishonest and its candidates as having the support of dishonest men. It mailers not how honest the candidates may be, the f tct of the class of their: supporters is regarded as a bad omen. It would be far better that all candidates should declare they despise the ring and want none of iu support, if they desire election to office. A worse reputation could not be given a man in Douglas county to-day than that he is a Fink man and the ring's candidate. ! GENERAL GOSSIP. J. D. Miller, of Oresron Citv. has fail- eu tor -u,uuu.

The Pacific Coast hop crop was esti mated by good judges to ; amount to about 10,000 to 11,000 bales for the year 1879.. Up to Dec. 1, 1879, 8,383 bales of hops had been exported. There are now about 750 bales on hand in San Franolr 30 aud 300 elsewhere, leaving about 1.0J5 ba!e for consumption at home. There is every Indication that hops will go to a higher figure- than any are yet reached before the next session,. ON DISBARRING ATTORNEYS. Last week we bad reference to an afHadavlt submitted to the supreme court by foui attorneys. . At the time we had but little space at our dispo sal no more than enough to say that part of the affidavit which declared we stated to either one of the men whose names were attached that Sidney Dell was the author of "Junius Brutus' " letters was false. We had intend 3d to write an, answer to the affidavit, but Mr. Dell saves us the trouble by the following letter addressed to the editor of ibe Oregonian, which letter appear ed In the Oregonian of Tuesday morn ing : I notice in Friday's ISBue o you) r m i...i nn i Thnradav In the sum-eme court of Ore. ' gon by W. H. Effiuger, W. Lair Hill, " " " Z . ..... . (i. H. Duibam and M. Y. Thompson, charging me with composing and pub lishing a "false and scurrilous travesty of the decision and opinion of the court," in the Walker-Teal case. Goethe says : ' Buhl at es lias genlas, power, magic in it. But this charge is unabeshed effronte ry. The affidavits the tlrst step In the Eroceeding to disbar me and take the read out of my mouth for daring to opeu it in defense of popular rights. The cnarge is amoiguous. 11 aoes not specify whether the falsity is In the facts as stated ty "Junius isruius" or not. II they mean to allege that tne facts In the case as stated by -'Junius Brutus" are false in any material par ticular then they are wilful falsifiers. I have repeatedly in tne public press dared these men to deny these facts. I so ottered in he Oregojiau of Oct. 31st in the following; Iaoauaite: "lr any one can deny the facts or refute the logic, 1 agiee to resign tne omce ot attoj-ney in the supreme court, to which I have a vested right under the constituilou aud the laws." No one dared take it up; aud when on December (h some one signing himself "Phiilippi," aud whom I supposed to be W. H. Effin Ster, slipped into the Stundard under the mysterious caption, H. and V. vs. T and G," as If shrinking from public observation, and made a distoi ted aud pecular defeuse, I at once re plied politely, slating the facts aud asking 'i'hi!Hpi' to admit or deny them, and wiieu the facts are agreed upon we could proceed to the discus sion before the bar of public opinion. The oniy eply I had was a broadside of editorial abuse, and "rhlliipl" was heard of no more. The affidavit men, therefore, do not mean to allege, I sup pose, that I have made a fidse state ment 01 the racts. ir. then, the tacts are correctly stated the conclusion of law drawn by 'Juuius Brutus" Is ir resistible. Such is the belief of the independent bar and people ot Ore gon. Kucn is the universal ci ill- clam or the press of this coast, and all the eastern newspapers which have criticised it. The decision of the court is utterly indefensible aud in disregard of the plainest fundamental prijciplesof law. If, then, the facts are correct and the conclusion of law sound it must be that these affidavit men mean to charge that the impu tation of motive to Judge Kelly of actiug upon the partiality of friend ship for a man who had done mm a great lavor was iaise. mis, however, is like special pleading on a trope, or a bill of indictment against a metaphor. If there is no Kw to sus tain the decision it iaplaiu that some motive must have actuated the judge. Is, then, the Imputation of partiality to a friend a "false" inference ? If it is, then some motive beside mere frail ty must be iuferred. Less generous ; persons than myself assert graver rea sons. I scorn to charge any criminal motive unless I bad the proof. I am prepared to show that the facts, ou which my inference is based, ae true. The only difference between meaud the rest of independent bar is that I express publicly, in behalf of public justice, what they express privately. If, tht-n I am to be silenced by the snpieme court so should be all the independent lawyers in the state, and nobody al lowed to practice law except the servile flatterers of the court aud the members of the legal iug. Our Euglish fore fathers weut into revolution and over turned the "star chamber" courts, and succeeded in establishing the fun damental principle that "uo court shall be secret, but justice shall be ad ministered openly and without pur chase.'1 This great piinciple has oeen adopted in our constitution. But of what avad is the piinciple, if none but servile flatterers of the court are al lowed to practice befoie it? How can the people ever know the outrages on justice if an honest attorney tells them at the risk of hav ing his only means of livelihood cut off by these powerful public ser vants? Is it not plain thai such a couise makes the decisions or our highest court a st aled book to the peo ple aud the court a "star chamber' whose judgments may be peddled out to the hiahest bidder? An indenend. ent and fearless bar is only real guar anty of the people against thetyr.iuny aud injustice of theeourlB; and if the people fail to stand up to and support the attorney who has the courage to assert their rights they deserve lo be robbed, und to hold their lives and property bv Ihe frail and uncertain lenuie of the whims, caprices, or even venality of their hifchest courts. If the court decide acco, ding to law, they can bear criticism, and the oaly effect of an unfounded attack upon them la to relegate the attorney who makes it to the scoru and contempt of all good citizens. If the attack is just aud unanswerable before 'he bar of public opinion, then the effort to den troy the fearless attorney who makes it will be a coufessien by the court of wroug doing, aud will only provoke the indignation of a free people. In this connection I give the following extract from the views of a distin guished jurist aud statesman announ ced In the supreme court of the United Stales nearly fifty years ago. He says "In no civilized country with which I am acquainted has the power been assumed of striking an attorney from the rolls of the court for publis ling even a libel. It is the dis tinuishing glory of eur institutions that a public functionary can claim no immunity, no exemption from public scrutiny and public censure, that does not belong equally to a pri vai citueu." Another equally dis tinguished said: "By the summary process adopted by the jndje, the at torney is stripped of every right guar anteed to freemen. Hii prosecutor is the judge himself; the offeuse imputed lo him, cloak the matter as we can, Is one against the judge himself; and he the aggrieved party, erects himself into a tribunal, to try before himself and punish by his sole authority, this wrong against himself. " "lam fully warranted in maintaining that no adjudged case in modern" limes can he produced showing the exercise of the power of au Engliof pun-sh couit ishiug, as for contempt, libelous pub lications oncourlsor parties to suits, in reference to causes finally adjudi cated and decided.' Another who' obtained even a wider fame not on'y in this country but abroad, said: It Is important then to know whether henceforward au attorney must hum ble himself and before the tycopbant of a judge, whom he may despise, under the penalty of being deprived of the r gbt to practice his profession be fore him. If a judge be weak, or if he be wicked, his judicial conduct Is as fair a subject of discussion among law yers as anions any other class of citi zens; and for exercising this right they Incur no punishment which can not be inflicted on any other person. If this proposition be not tre, they become the mere creatures of the court. Instead of being the firm and fear less assert era of their clients' rights, they must cringe and assent to any and every intimidation of the judge at the risk of their ruin. The public have almost as deep an interest in the independence of the liar as of the bench. If I write and pub lish an article which a jude may consider as a libel upon himself, Is it not enough that he may appeal, like other citizens, to the laws of his country for redress, and have me fined and imprisoned for the offense ? Shall be be permitted to take the law in bis own hands, aud add to this punishment a forfeiture of my means of subsistence by taking away my pro ffssiou? invert the pumsnmeat 01 a libel a a contempt, by flue and im prisonment, would be mercy, when compared with fbts power. Hai the judge iu this case the power to suspend the attorney from practicing his profelon ? If he has, the members of a profession which has ever stood foremost iu the defense of i-ieil liberty, are themselves the veriest slaves in existence." . fruch a power might be claimed by a Scrogga or a Jeffries, but for my part I propose, in defense of my clieut' rights to expose Judicial outrages whenever my duty demands it, be the consequeuees what they may. These affidavit men likwise call my review ''scurrilous," Now this means " low and obscene." Sur"' , these Injured attorneys who can't defend their decisions iu the public press, and rush to the court to puuistt me for ex mall 10 posing the wrong, do not understand the English language when they apply Itu k'm such a term lo my review, reprinted in .atunlay's Oregonian, and to which 1 call public attention. If any more decent and polite language can be used In expressing the ide is, I coufess I have never yet found it. Severe it may be, but scurrilous, never! And yet ttiese reckless men have sworn that it is so 'i hese affidavit me.i also take pains to swear in enect mat they nave traced up the authorship diligently until they have treed" me. T hey had ouly to apply to me and they could have learued it without dimculty. 1 never sneak around like sorre men, or hide behind cripples. If I have a charge to make, I make it openly, and stand by 11 tin 1 am convince'.! 01 error. In conclusion I will add that this Is no longer my cause. It is meiged into the higher and more important cause or tne supreme court and legal ring against popular rights. understand that one of the judges says that I am "a troublesome fellow ai.d must be got rid of." It is a little troublesome to have a fearless attorney practicing in a court where law is dis regarded. - If I am fcilenctd, though, who then will dare hereafter assert the just rights of suitois except by severile flattery or satimlssion to the ring? very respectfully, bIDNEY DELL.
