Outljoiisa, county expert, relative to the records, tuid tlnnticiul conditpn of Union county, which was published lust week lias caused considerable, discuss.': Jon, :md.iu? it is within tip province of a nowspupor (o disciisg and oritieiso jiiiiltere of importance to tlo pcoplo nt large t we shall do so in this case, Shortly before the piiblicutioii of this Veport, in a conversation yjth yv. Outhouse ho assured ns that the re port had been compiled with rrcjit care, and that cvory statement, urn", (igurc in it, could be, vei-Rled ami! wero matters, of rocord. "Vp wore pleased at, the assurance,, nnd, hopc( that thu report would, bland as an indisputable Ktatoi.n,eut of, the cojidi lion of our county affairs t ami satisfy t by its correctness, the, scrutinizing rye. of (ho. public which would bo turned upon it. We must confess to disappointn.uml, hi Huh. matter, lly u lettci- frop viu of the, lending picji of the county which appears in our local columns It wijl bo seen, that our export is charged with making the piost glaring inistnkps In acti?, llg ircSi and simple ndd.iluni, re do not presume to. know unythhij; n,hout the coirocj yeas o the, slutciiiejts t o.r position as to llu) law su,p.pp.sod, to, govern hc cases., vhich has been taken by the. expert t but wo. can t'eiphcr1' i little, and llnd that the numerous errors in simple addition, appearing cgi tho fay-o. 0 tlio report, liavo really been made as Mated, by v 'Tax- payer. ' ' Such being the. cnsot the questions naturally niisuig hi tho Viinds o( tho tuojihi will bu; AVIiat right had tho county coimujssioiiorii to. pay 8(00 for an expert to ncuoiu, jilish sich t result? rhat right had ti Outhouse to, iissiiiiuj the rcspo,nsi ltilily of an export of wnty Hmmccjj nnd offer tin such figures for our uc reptimen? Ciui any relianco bo placed in this report t and if so, (o what oxlont? Such uru tho questions that will urio, unci tho result will doubt less bo thit the people will b.ucp,nio js much bol'mldled in rogard to our eounly I'nuiicos as thoy over wore. Tho only thing in tho report, deserv ing consideration, that wo can see, is tho statement (hut several qf tlu olllclals have been in tho habit o( drawiny oxorbilant, fees fqr QlHehl work, An to whother such (oos wore legal or illegal Is n matter of contro, rersy, and one which wo irc, unible to pass an opinion upon, NYhjlo it is a fact that tho law; relative to what foos shall bo drawn by oflleials, for various kinds of work, rather in (Icllnito, and should receivo thu atten tion of our legislators, wo do not think tho county court justifiable in paying an 'export' ' 7.r)0 for imparl ing the information that exhorbitaiit fees wore being drawn, for thoy must have heo.u cognisant of it all tho time, The county commission-' its, howovor, form a body, whoso movements mo too dcop and intricate to bo readily coinprohomled by tho uverago intellect, Last "Wednesday evening tho news came that tho legislative assembly had elected Ilipplo .Mitchell lo tho U S. Senate, in spito of the charges made against him by tho Oregoniau, in npito of tho cold blooded cant of vir tuous preachers and that principle of morality which is supposed to pervade the commoiiwealth. It was consid ered a groat victory, and tho boom ing of anvils, big bon-llros, and much tOioutiug attested the joy of the peo ple Verily our representatives have doiiowoll. If there ever was a tlmo in the history of Ibis eount.iy when It behooves us sporting men to stand shoulder to shoulder, it is now. Doubtless our chief whispered this warning lulu the ear of each represen tative mid thoy stood as one man. A great victory has been achieved. Let us rejoice. YW. are in receipt of a pamphlet entitled "Hard times in tho North west. Their Cause and Remedy." written by Mr. John Campbell, of this State. It is an exhaustive treat ise on tho baneful effects of gigantic land-grant corporations, and iiupli eutos cabinet olllcers, United States Senators, and prominent party lead-01-8 in assisting railroad corporations to hold L'0,000 square miles of public lands in Oregon nnd Washington Territory. It points out the people's remedy and means of redress in u .pRdii and logical manner. It is a hook that should bo read by every resident and tax-payoron tho coast. Wk Lea ru lrom tho San rranelseo Bulletin that two acts have been pre "pared in that city for introduction in Congress; one amending tho Chinese restriction act, ami an other tho judi cial procedure of tho revised statutes, which is believed will bo entirely of lecllvolf cnticlci into law. Tho amend incuts to the ru&trlctloii uct tiro radical in their terms of nxeluMon nnd only rc qlurc enforcement to practically put a stop to Chineso immigration. Tho other act relates to the legal procedure in determining questions of law aris imr undor tho. restriction act, and among Qther things gives the courts authority to award judgements of de portation against Chineso persons omul in tho country co.nl rary. to law. Senator Miller, yho has been consul ted in tho, preparation of tlisp bills, is satisfied they wilT accomplish the object in view. J'ortlnticl .Market.
