Westox, Nov Edltort Leader : In the Pendleton Tribune of Oct. 22d, I have read au editorial in which the editor laments (?) over the defeat of divis ion of Umatilla county. He speaks of H. B. No. 52, and then says, "If division is desirable at all this bill should in our opinion have been passed" "It was a fair and just division." Mr. editor, I have carefully read H. B. No. 52, and also H. B. No. 64, and I roust say that my opinion is different from that expressed in the Tribune, in regard to the merits of H. B. 52; and I would like to point out to your readers, some of the defects of this bill in as mild a way as possible.. To say that the Trib une had advocated or indorsed a measure the merits or demerits of which it knew not, would inipiy that the editors were ignorant of that of which they wrote; and to say that so able a patent journal as the Tribune Would advocate a pu'jlic measure that is unjust and would prove a great detriment to so many of its sup porters would cruel. Theiefore, I shall not attempt to criticise sharply the motives of the Tribune, or speak harshly of norne of the "fair-minded community" of our county scat who steal poll-books, and manipulate the election returns of their own precinct to defeat the wishes of the people as expressed bv their bal lots. Far from it. Such matters would not be pertinent to the question that I wish to consider, viz : H. B. 52. This bill was introduced for the alleged pur pose of forming the County of Wise and the County of Coal; but rtaUy to defeat any division. It was purposely made so objectionable in nearly all of its provis ions that those who wanted a division most could not support it It robbed the people of the new counties of all their revenue and left them without a dollar to support their county government until the taxes of 1881 could be collected. It attached neither of the new counties to any judicial district for Circuit Court purposes; therefore they would have been without a Court in which to seek justice or maintain the laws. This bill provided for the new counties, no representation in the Legislature of the State in the event that the Legislature then in session, should fail to make a new apportionment, and fail it did. Therefore, we would have had no voice or representation in the Legislature. Are we to be driven to the conclusion that 6uch fair-minded (1) journals as the Tribune and the East Oregonian would thrust upon tho people, who have given them what vitality they possess, such unjust and obnoxious measures as these 1 If these two journals support H. B. 52, knowing its provisions, they are unpar donable and should be excluded from every household in each of the proposed new counties; and if they support it, not knowine its provisions, they should be pitied for their weakness end ignorance. If H. B. 52 wis a good "fair and just one, and the managers at Pendleton wanted it to pF3, why did Mr. Kelley, who was their mouth-piece, and who in. troduced the bill, vote to indefinitely postpone his own bill the first opportu nity that was offered; and when an effort was made to bring the matter before the house again in order that some compro mise might be adopted, why did Mr. Kelley vote no? Why was the proposition to form a new county in the Heppner country de featedl It would be gratifying to have Bonie light on this subject, as we have E'eard not a single objection to their measure and yet it was killed. Perhaps the Tribune or the East Oregonian ' can and will make this matter clear and show that it was right that it should be so. After H. B. No. 64 was amended by the Committee on Counties; if passed, it would have created the County of Knox, containing just 23 surveyed townships. Was this proposition too "radical V was it too much and too "radical" for the people of the eastern portion of Umatilla county to ask for 23 townships out of 108 to form them a new county, The people of Umatilla county will answer. Sea 8 of H. B. No. C4 provides that the County of Knox, -s-ithin one year after its organization, shall assume, and pay to the County of Umatilla a just proportion of the indebtedness of Uma tilla county after deducting therefrom the value of the public property of Uma tilla county. Would the fair-minded Tribune have us pay more than a just proportion of the indebtedness of Umatilla county One of "Williaijsos & Steen Co." FEMLETO ITEXg. 1880. THE SII0K1CHT SCJf. shining The spectacle of the sun midnight attracts many foreighers Swedish Lapland during the month of June. For six weeks there is scarcely any night in the north of Sweden ; the sun never sets, and the soil, constantly heated, produces, in a month and a half, barley and other crops. At that time of the year the Laplanders pen up their rein deers, and move their huts toward the cultivated fields. Being very hospitable. they greet with joy th arrival of tour ists, who generally meet at Mount Galla ware, 148 kilometres from Lulea. From thai hill, which is 580 metres high, the 1-eautiful spectacle of the "midnight sun" can be admired in better conditions than from any other place. The 25th of J une is the day selected for the ascension; it is the longest day in the year, the sun being twenty-two hours above the horizon. This year the 24th of June was not favor ed by fine weather, and, owing to the loudy sky, tke sun was not visibln at midnight, tXo following day travelers were well rewarded for their trouble, the sun shining brightly at midnight. Ex. Rich Silver Mine. JL W. Crandall, Esq., and others, recently discovered, on the head-watera of Pine Creek, Union county, a Bilver mine, carrying galena, silver and gold. The mine is pronounced by experts very rich. The average width of the vein is all the way from eight in ches to four feet. Forty-five thousand feet, showing mineral in all portions, have been located by the discoverers. Also some claims have been located by Fred. Foster and Mr. Bxickyfellow who discovered the Virtue mine. Mr. Cran dall is firmly of the opioion that one of the richest camps on the Pacific Coast will spring up in the vicinity of his mines, and that Baker City will be greatly bene fitted thereby, because it will be tha out fitting point. Mr. Crandall is a resident of the Dalles. Timee " Pendleton, Nov. 4, Editor Leader: - - . On yesterday morning about 10 o'clock A. M., after examining 63 peraons,. a jury of 12 men were empanneled to try Edward Murphy on a charge of murder in the first degree, al leged to have been committed in the killing of T. D. French, near Heppner, in May last. The following-named citizens compose the jury, via : John Walker, Hiram Flickenger, Wm. Burden, Eugene Bruzane, . A. Cole, Frauk G. Effinger, Frank Dunn, J. S. King, C. M. Long, L. C. BotUrock, D. E. Cargell and Naei HaSon. ' .The prosecuting witness, C. T. Henderson, gave good testiraony, and stood cross-examination well. The testimony on the part of the State made out the clearest case of murder in the first degree that we ever heard. In fact we never read of a case where the evidence wiis more conclusive. The defense attempted to set up the drunkenness of the accused; but admitting that to be a defense, we think they totally failed. : They only proved that he was drinking ou the day prior to the murder, and that he drank three glasses of beer about 12 hours before the shooting. We do not know what the jury may think of the matter, but we, after hearing all the testimony offered for and against Murphy, say that he is clearly guilty of murder in the first degree, and should pay the debt that he has incurred with "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth." Murphy is about medium height, of full form and habits, will weigh about 180 pounds. is oarK. complected witu black bair and is rather good looking, with the exception, that he does not possess any of that frank, honest look, which draws soul to soul and binds us alt in a common brotherhood. He is not of that low type of mental development which Phrenologists usually ascribe to murderers. His intellectual faculties are fairly developed, yes we may say that they are above average, conibativeness and destructiveness are large, while veneration and those other faculties which are calculated to restrain men from the perpetration of such deeds, are rather small; But all things considered he is intellectually fully up to average. Tho prisoner seems to look on the affair as of little importance; we have not been able to see any emotion evinced but once during all the trial; and that occurred when the Judge ordered the jury to look on the prisoner and be sworn. The emotion then exhibited went to confirm his guilt rather than otherwise. ' More than once during the trial when the' witnesses were attempting to de scribe tlie acts oi a drunk man tbe prisoner smiled and seemed to enjoy the fun. ' . In view of all the light thrown on the dark deed during the trial, we are forced to- say guilty as charged." . If Murphy was of that low mental development which is scarcely above an idiot, we might say that he should be imprisoned for life, but as it is, we say he well knew better and well knew it to be his duty to abstain from such an act. So we wait in suspense to see what twelve honest and competent men will say on the subject. i The' grand jury did not indict the boy C. C. Brook, who was charged with murdering the sheep herder near Heppner. j Three indictments bare been found against H. C. Paige, all gtowing out of the stage rob bery. The Paige trials have all been post poned for the term, to allow the defence to get testimony. Mr. John B. Purdy foreman of the grand jury, undoubtedly is entitled to much credit, for the good judgement used in finding indict ments they will all stick. Since writing the above, and after an hour's deliberation, the jury in the Murphy case, re turned a verdict of guilty as charged in the indictment. - .' JTEWS ITEMS, .

It was found that the roll of twenties had be come undone, and had dropped out one bv one through a hole that was in the a w stove and from there into th road, There were just two twenties left. It is said that Edwin Booth was once playing Petruchio with an actress consid erably larger than himself, and that he thought she let go the whip too readily, when, as Petruchio, he wrested it from the hand of Katharine. So, after the play was over, he said, "You must hold on to the whip with more firmness to morrow night; grasp it as hard as you can; I'll get it away from you, never fear."
