evening of the lstjinst the railroad
track was laid to Myrtle Cieek and the
people of that little place had the pleas
ure of welcoming a real train of cars to
their midst, after many years of anx

Accident. On Monday Harry Sei
bert met with an accident which for a
short time it was thought might prove
fatal, In trying to control a spirited
horse, which; he was riding, with a
curbed bit, he caused the animal to rear
and fall backwards Harry struck
hvavily, severing an artery at the back
of his head. Dr. R. M. Davis was
called and with much difficulty suc
ceeded in effecting a compress.
Why it is Thus. 4-As a matter cf
interest to the ladiesjand wool-growers
of this county, we quote the following
from a New York paper: "The stiffen
ing in th". price of medium grade wook
is due to the caprice of fashion. Since
the ladies have detet mined to wear tiie
broad striped worsted goods the coin
ing season the manufacturers, to serve
their own interest, must manufacture
that class of goods. 1 Hence, medium
tin grades have gne up and the finer
and coarser grades ! have - fallen in
value." ' !
New Machinery. --New machinery
for the gristmill just south of the city
arrived here this week direet from the
East, and will be placed and in run
ning order within thirty dys. The
mill is to contain three runs of burrs,
and as all the niacin ncy is new, it will
be an excellent cne. A force of hands
is now at work on the race which will
be ready as soon as the ruifhiucry can
be put in place. This is an enterprise
which has been delayed from various
causes and we are glad to note its final
success. It will be of much benefit to
the commercial interests' of Roseburg.
Quick Relief. Mr. Hermann An
lauf, of Draui, had suffered intensely
with nervous spasms for two days, at

him in bed. The spawns were caused
from the root of a broken tooth press

M. W. Davis, of this city, was tele
graphed for, and hej went to Drain
upon a freight train, jlle found the
patient suffering intense agony. The
doctor removed the broken tooth which
at once ' gave, relief, j whereupon Mr.
Anlauf wa? the happiest man in Ore

Front its pleasant situation in the little

industrious and orderly community; its
altitude and position in the centet of
the Umpqua Valley, renders it the most

EXECUTIVE CLEMENCY.
As there has been considerable inter
est nianifested in this locality in the
case of J. C. Powers, we give in full
the decision of Gov. Thayer regarding
the application for clemency; i
State of Oregox, Executive Office.
Salem, July 28ih, 1882.
In the matter of the application for
executive clenieucy in favqr of ' J. C.
Powers. " I -I
At the October term, loSl, of the
circuit court for the county of Mult
nomah. Powers was tried and con
victed of murder in the first degree for
the muitier of Bt njamin Cornelius,
and sentenced to be hung, i Numerous
fe tit ions have been duly" presented to
me in his lehaf, containing, in the
aggregate, the names of ten tnoiuand
petitioners, representing the counties
of Multpouiah, Washington, Clatsop,
Columbia, Yamhill, Polk, Linn, Uma
tilla, and portions of Washington Ter
ritory. I hey contain the names of the
leading citizens and representative
men f the various localities from
which thev were forwarded. In many
of them the occupation ef each of the
gners is sot. out. In some of them a
full pardon is urged, out generally a
communication of the sentence to im
prisonment for life is all that is asked.
I have also received' several letters
from prominent citizens residing iu
lifferent parts of the State soliciting k
change of the sentence, and have been
advised by many others with whom I
have cousulted that it was a proper
case tor executive interference. One
of the petitions rronved was signed by
nearly all the members of the bar-of
the fourth judicial district.; I have
met a few parties who were . opposed
to any pardon or commutation ot the
sentence, but I am fullv satisfied that
the sentiment of a great majority of
the people of the Stater is against the
execution of Powers, and that the pe
titions and letters referred to as a gen
eral thing, express the honest convic
tions of the signers. These various
petitions are more important from the
fact that the circumstances of the ho
micide were widely known. The affair
occurred at a celebration of the Fourth
of July iu PortlanJ, when a large
number of persons were present, end
was extensively published throughout
the country. Consequently the peo
ple had a letter knowledge of it than
they generally do of such occurrences,
and are able to jKjtition more intelli
gently.. Though I attach importance
to jtetitions in all proper cases, the
light of petition is secured to the jmo
ple by the I ighfest authority known to
the government. It may be and prob
ably is often abused, but it, does not
follow that petitions are to be ignored,
for that would bo destructive of the
immunity itself; yet there should
always be leasonable grounds upon
which to found a petition. A govern
or, for instance, world not be justified
in changing the sentence of the law
pronounced by the court simply be
cause the people requested it. A
valid reason should be shown for s
imtiortiMit an act, else it should lie
tefused. In considering the subject of
a pardon, the executive has no right,
in my judgmen, to review the law or
evidence in th caso for the purpose of
ascertaining whether or not error has
been committed in the conviction of
th! party. The court and jury con
stitute the tribunal to settle question?
of that character, and their action in
that matter is a finality, and is unim
peachable in this proceed ing. The court
and jury determine the law and the
facts, and I must assume that their
determination in this case has been
correct, and that Powers was. in accor
dance with the law and evidence
rightfully and properly convicted of
tuunh r in the first degree, and that,
by the laws of this State he has forfeit
ed his life. Still I think that the gen
eral circumstances which have occa
sioned the killing may be taken in
consideration iu an application for
clemency, though I concede that an at
tempt t draw a distinction between
eases in which parties have "purpose
ly, and of deliberate and premeditated
maiace, killed iwople, appears like
subtlety, a refinement that possibly
should never be admitted where hu
man life under such circumstances has
been sacrificed. Bat as a matter of
fact, there may be a wide difference in.
cases, both in the manner of killing
and the circumstances and motives oc
casioning it. The assassin who lays in
wait for his victim and stealthily, mnr.
ders him for his money, is a greater
culprit, morally, "than he, who, smart
ing under the sense of injury to him
silf or family, conforts Ihe offender
and slays him; yet the law might
adjudge both acts offensives ofthesame
grade. It is claimed in this case, in
the petitions and letters before men
tioned, that a family difficulty had
arisen between the deceased aud Pow
ers; that Powers had married his
daughter; that they had children; that
there had been a separation, and that
Powers had become annoyed and ex
asperated on account of it; that the
deceased was a powerful man physical
ly; that on the day of the murder he
had armed himself in expectation of a
difficulty; that the two parties met in a
street in the city of Portland; that a
desperate encouater ensued in which
both were actors and in which Powers
was severely, and Cornelius mortally
wounded, and upon these grounds
substantially executive clemency is
urged. I understand that Powers is a
business man, has been engaged in
getting out timber for several years;
that he has been regarded as a person
possessing a good deal of physical
courage; has been somewhat addicted
to drink, and has had some personal
difficulties, but has not been regarded
as a criminal On the contrary, has
been considered as a man of reasonably
fair character; one who has observed
his contracts, paid his debts, and been
honest in his dealings.
This application for clemency has
been made at a time set for its : bearing
ana in pursnamce ef a regular v pub
lished notice. No counter statement
ha3 been presented or opposition made
to it other than as before stated, the
question now to be dstrmined is
whether the State can, consistently
with its dignity, and the duty which it
owes to its citizens, in maintaining
order in tho community, in protecting
them in their rights, and in securing
them in their person, afford to com
mute the sentence of death to that of
imprisonment for life.
It involves a matter strictly between
the commonwealth an i powers. No
feelings of maiace or viudictiveuess
can enter into it. If the leasar pun
ishment will subserve the ends of jus
tice, if it is adequate undT the circum
stances of the casn, then it would be a
great moral wrong to iutiict the great
er, it would le closing the door of
mercy, a quality of our nature that is
more refining and ennobling iu its
tendency than any other attribute we
possess. It has been suggested with a
degree of seriousness that there would
be no objection to the commutation ot
Powers' sentence if any reasonable as
surance could le given that he would
lie imprisoned during his natural life,
but that the apprehension was so strong
that he would at some future timo be
released, made it very necessary that
he should be put to death. Of course
I cannot consider ony arguments f
that character I have no right to
suppose that he will be relieved of his
sentence unless circumstances should
justify it. Besides, the question for
me to determine is not one of expedi
eucv. I am obligel to decide it upon
its merits, uniuiluenced by anticipa
tionsof a possible neglect of duty
upon the part of some future govern
or of the State. After a careful con
sideration of the various circumstan
ces jconnec-te.d with' the transaction,
and though a respect for the opinion of
the great numler of persons who have
urged thn exercise of executive clem
ency in this ln-titer. 1 have conclu
ded to commute the -sentence against
Powers to imprisonment for life.
And I base my actions in the prem
ires upon the grounds that the sub
stituted punishment is sufficiently
severe in this case to subserve the
ends and purposes of justice.
Upon the question of a full pardon
I deem it proper to state that I can
see no grouds whatever upon which
it could be gt anted. No one has a
right to attemp. to vindicate his
wrongs, whether real or imaginary, oy
violent measures. Such a cottr.4
would be subversive of law and ordei
und if not promptly chocked would
break up and destroy society itself.
The jury has settled the question as
to which party was the aggressor in
the affair, and the degree of the of
fense, and while the general circum
stances surrounding the transaction,
that could not be taken into account
by the jury, may, out of a regard for
humarwiife, justify a mitigation of the
punishment they shunld not be admit
ted to excuse the offense. Powers'
conduct has been high-handed and
malicious, and
if the riorof the law-
is fixed by the spirit of mercy, still the
cliamsof justic musi not be disregarded
The sentence, iu uiyjudgment, should
not be changed bm ond the coin invita
tion mentioned. W. W. Thayer.
