Under this heading the Orcjon'i
aa of last Thursday makes the fol
lowing statement:
"Some time ago we charged
that the appropriations made at "the
last sesion of the Legislature were
being largely overdrawn. This
was denied by some of the organs
in the interest of the G rover ad
ministration. Em it is true, and
there is positive proof of the
fact. At the last session the sum
oi fifty thousand dollars was ap
propriated for erection of a Peni
tentiary. G rover and AVat kinds
have gone far' beyond this appro
priation. Expenditures on account
of the Penitentiary building al
ready amount to one hundred and
thirty thousand dollars, or eighty
thousand dollars more than was
appropriated. That is to say,
vouchers have been issued for
eighty thousand dollars in excess
of the appropriation "
Here is a specific statement that
"the expenditures on account of
the Penitentiary building already
amount to one hundred and
thirty thousand dollars, or eighty
thousand dollars more than was
appropriated ;" and a special aver
ment that "it is true and there
is positive proof of the fact.''
When a subsidized railroad jour
ntil makes an effort at its greatest
violation of honor and truth, as in
the case of the personal organs of
ffolladav issuing on election day
the scandalous falsehood about
pardons, the editor usually intro
duces his dishonest device with an
averment of truthfulness, we find
it so in this ease.
The new Penitentiary building
is a permanent brick structure upon
a stone basement, 2 1 2 feet in length,
its transverse section being 1 dO
feet, crowned with a centre dome,
The work is of the most substan
tial character and of permanent

tion. J b. w was it built? The hist
Legislature made an appropriation
of -S50.000, not to complete such a
work, but to make a beginning.
With this appropriation it was ex
pected that the ground would be
cleared, excavated for a basement,
and a basement storv be construct
ed; and then another apppropria
tion might enclose the building.
Authoritv was given by law to use
the resources of convict lalrr in

bricks adopted bv Sirocrinteudont
AVatkinds, not only was an amount,
of brick suineent for the entire con
struction of the new Peuitentia.iy,
some 2,. "300,000, but enough in ad
dition to suppiv the trade demands
of the city of Salem. Convict la
bor was also placed upon the
work of the building wher
ever available and safe. ly this
means the comparatively small ap
propriation from the Treasury of
50,000, the building was carried
forward to full completion of ex
terior walls ; nd roofing. This was
accomplishing much more than any
one, even the Commissioners them
selves, expected when the work
was begun. Having successfully
enclosed the entire building with
in the limited appropriation, the
question came up before the Com
missioners: "Shall the interior of
the prison be completed for the
reception of prisoners this season?"
The law authorized the completion
of so much of the permanent pris
on as the Commissioners should
deem necessary for the safe-keeping
of prisoners, and that they is
sue vouchers for work and materi
al. The power to complete the
the prison was especially given by
law, and now it was a question of
prudence and necessity. The old
prison was a wooden shanty with
wooden cells going to decay. It
was built eight or nine years ago
for temporary use only, and pro
visions were made by law at that
time lor the construction of a per
manent prison.
The necessity of a full comple
tion of the new prison was deem
ed absolute by the Commissioners.
In this decission they were sustain
ed by every judicious citizen with
out distinction of party, who ex
amind.the old prison.
In the work of completing the
new prison, a tier of brick base
ment ceils were erected through
out the wards; upon this tier is
a tier of iron cells, 44 m number.
! The purchase of these iron cells
was maae or Aiessrs iiawiey juooa
& Co., of Portland for vouchers as
th.
law directs, to
lie amount
of 2i,70O In the further
completion of the interior of the
prison, the following claims of pur
chase had to be made ; Lumber for
interior work, iron pipes for water
and steam, range tor kitchen, oil,
paints, asphaltum for floors, labor
of hkilied mechanics &c. The en
tire nrit-on will be completed ready
the admission of prisoners
within ten days from this writing,
and the entire cost of the work, in
vouchers, to this date is just $39,
501 00.
Never was there a great public
or private work erected more econ
omically. All the contracts have
been made at the very lowest rates;
labor has been well put in ; no mis
takes or alterations have been
made, and the prison is first-class,
with all modern improvements.
This work is a standing honor to
its builders, and would cost at the
usual rates of public building at
least 250,000, . Vet u -e find pass

The Itesult.
From the Washington Patriot, of June 12.
When the House of Representa
tives, met yesterday morning there
were evident signs of a precon
certed plan to pass the enforce
ment election scheme, by a resort
to sharp practice and another vio
lation of good faith. The Demo
crats, who held the fate of the bill
in their hands on Saturday, con
sented to an adjournment and a
committee of conference, with the
distinct understanding and assur
ance that the Senate would recede
from its obnoxious amendment.
Put the proceedings in the confer
ence on Sunday demonstrated a
purpose on the Radical side to
take an unfair advantage of the
situation, and to adhere to the in
iquitous project which had been
attached to the appropriation bill,
in direct defiance of a special and
self-imposed rule. When this in
tention was discovered the Demo
cratic conferees propeily withdrew
and refused to sign the report.
These proceedings excited deep
indignation, so that when the re
port of the conference was present
ed to the House, Judge Relley
rose in his place, and in a most
manly, able, and admirable speech,
denounced the design of depriv
ing the -minority of their rights,
and the attempt to force the pas
sage of the amendment as a fraud,
which he would never consent to
sanction. The Radicals were
startled by these bold and honor
able delarations, coming, as thev
did, from a recognized leader, who
had never faltered in his political
allegiance. Ami the effect was
heightened by a personal incident
which soon followed.
Air. Pingham attempted to break
the force of Judge Kel ley's ar
raignment by a bitter and shame
f til tirade against the Democratic
minority, whose conduct in vindi
cating their constitutional rights
lie assailed as "the inauguration of
treason in this hall, as disreputable,
as dishonorable, as unconstitution
al, and as damning as that treason
inaugurated twelve years ago by
the bayonet." As this gross ami
infamous libel was not rebuked by
the Speaker, General Morgan
branded it, with stirring emphasis,
as "a lie;" and added, "I cram the
lie down the throat of the member
from Ohio." The provocation was
great and the answer was stern.
This passage brought the House to
its sen-se, and let the majority un
derstand that if there were blows
lo give there would be also blows
to take. After these scenes the
conference report was recommitted
by a decided majority, and the
session prolonged until six o'clock.
The impression produced by the
incidents in the House told upon
the extremists in the Senate, who
desired either to coerce the minor
ity into submission or to compel
an extra session. At the first
meeting of the second conference
no agreement could be reached,
but it was subsequently discovered
that various Radical Senators, w ho
were interested in appropriations
that might be sacrificed by the
loss of the bill, weakened in their
allegiance. Air. Edmunds, who
had led the movement, then asked
for a mode of escape by which ap
pearances would be saved. The
amendment was thus emasculated
of its most offensive features, and
finally accepted. I he supervisors
of elections are nothing more than
mere witnesses, without power of
any kind, except to be present at
the polls, and with no authority
to summon a posse, to make ar
rests, or to require the aid of the
United States marshals. They do
not even make reports.
Although the principle involved
in this amendment, even- in its
present harmless form, is odious,
still a practical question was pre
sented to the minority, which in
duced them to prefer it to the al
ternative of an extra session, when
the Radicals would resume their
full power as a majority. The
two-thirds rule, which protected
the minority, expired yesterday,
and with it their ability to resist
successfully. After the experience
last spring, when the more moder
ate Republicans at first opposed
the Ku-K!ux bill, and finally yield
ed under the pressure of the Presi
dent, there can be no doubt that if
an extra session had been convened,
it never would have adjourned
without extending the Ku-Kbii:
act over the Presidential election,
and passing the civil rights and bay
onet bills as originally proposed.
To escape from these threatened
dangers is a great relief, and a
cause for rejoicing. The country
is indebted for this victory to the
i firm, patient, patriotic course of
California Democratic Platform.
The following resolutions were
adopted by the California, Demo
cratic Convention, which met in
San Francisco on the 19th of June:
1. That the best interest interest
of the nation requires a chauge in
the administration of the Govern
ment, and all good citizens should
disregard the prejudices and differ
ences of the past, and unite in one
grand effort to restore the Govern
ment to its origial purity.
2. That we earnestly condemn
and protest against the machina
tions, tyrannj', extravagance and
corruptions of the administration
of U. S. Grant, which for lobby
ing schemes and building up mon
opolies has no parallel in the his
tory of the country.
3. That we full' recognize the
patriotism and pure motives of the
Liberal Republicans, and trust that
such action may be taken at the
Baltimore Convention as will re
sult in the hearty co-operation of
all parties opposed to the present
Administration, and that we re
commend to the consideration of
the National Democratic Conven
tion the principles enunciated in
the platform of the Cincinnati Con
vention. 4. That having an abiding confi
deuce m the wisdom and patriot
ism of the Democratic National
Convention soon to be assembled
at Baltimore, we pledge ourselves
to give the nominees of that Con
vention a hearty support.
5. That we leave our delegates
to the National Convention free
and untrammeled, believing that
wise councils and devoted patriot
ism will govern their action.
The Radical Platform.
AYe alluded a few days ago to
the piece of patchwork called the
Philadelphia platform, that en
deavors to satisfy till classes of
people and which, aiming at uni
versal conciliation,lias proved a per
fect failure. It is the most congru
ous literary production that ever
appeared in print. AVe mentioned
who were the authors of the plat
form, and gave the principal ones
correctly, but we now learn that
there were more than we stated.
The additional ones are mention
ed in the JS'atlon, which states that
fourteen classes of dupes were aim
ed at and thus classified; 1. 3Ian.
2. Colored man. 3. Irishman. 4.
The German man. o. The Free
Trailer. G. The Protectionist. 7.
The States Rights Alan. 8. The
Centralizer. 9. The Capitalist.
10. The Laborer. 11. The Mod
erate Drinker. 12. Woman. 13.
Opponents of Female Suffrage.
14. The Advocates of Female .Suf
frage. This platform with all its
absurdities, was endorsed by Gen.
Grant in a very brief letter, which
has excited immense enthusiasm
among the Radicals, for it has been
boldly asserted that lie wrote it
himself.

A Soul's Journey. There has
been much speculation on the ques
tion whether a man's soul ever
actually leaves his body during
sleep or at any other time before
death, but it is very rare that we
get any palpable evidence on the
mysterious enigma. There is a
story told in Louisville, however,
of a merchant in that city who,
while traveling in a sleeping car
in Mississippi, had a vivid experi
ence as of visiting his home and
seeing his wife and children asleep,
and noticing that .he eight day
clock had run down, he wound it
up and set it going. He then re
turned to his birth, which was rat
tling along at the rate of forty
miles an hour in the sleeping car,
saw his body distinctly, and re
suoied his place within its well
fitting encasement. On writing to
his wife about it he learned that
the clock had been mysteriously
wound up on the eight of his spir
itual peregrination.
