The Central Facific Railroad Company refuse to py its taxes in the State cf b California. CThe reason alleged for the refusal is thai the Government lias an in teiet in the road and therefore it cannol be "taxed. ThU Is a sorry plea. It is without eense or Justice. The govern-" merit's Interest in the road is that of a second mortgage. As the first mortgage eovers the value of the road, the (Joveii inpnt's real in?c rest is just about notldnj: at all. Uesi les, the road has been aided by tlie State of California. While the Company is refusing to pay its taxes, ttie State is paying S lOo.biid unnualiy on the Company's bonds. The refusal to pny taxes under such circumstances is about the meanest tiling yet reported. The case will go to the Courts. JJalulin. And Ben. Ilolladay refuses to pay his taxes in Clackamas county, "with not even tlie plea that tlie Government has an interest in tlie roadiior even a second mortgage, and the meanness of the refusal is only equaled by the fraud practiced on the people of" this county last year, in getting his road assessed at the sum of 2,100 for a distance of 22 miles. Last year Mr. Ilolla day refused to pay the taxes on the valuation madurby the assessor, and tha County Court set aside the assessment made, and ordered the Sheriff to make a new one, which he did, and brought the value of j the road down to tlie above hgurc. This vear, the Assessor regarded it best to allow the Hoard of Equal ization to appraise the road, which oard is composed of the County Judge, Clerk and Assessor. They valued it at the' sum of $7,500 per mile, and as he has found it impossi ble to get a change of valuation as lie did last year, he proposes to ap peal to the Court?, for which pur , pose a restraining ordeivhas been issued by .Judge Upton. "We learn that the objections to the payment of the. tax is based on the ground that the road is valued too high. The present owner of the road got $25,000 per mile for building it through this county. Xow if it is worth $25,000 per mile to build a road, withjthe right of way added, it certainly ought to be worth 7,500 after it was constructed. The similarity of meanness between the Union Pacific in California and the Oregon and California is com pleto, with the per centage for meanness in favor of the latter. II we wistakc not, the Union Pacific road in California is taxed at a higher figure than the Oregon road. The railroad ring have heretofore managed to get away with the peo ple of this county, and it is to be hoped that this time they may be compelled to pay their just propor tion of taxes. The refusal to pay taxes on the road through this county at the of $7,500 per mile is about as mean a thiag as the case cited above by the organ which i appears to be as a general thing s: the advocate and defender of the railroad. Let Us Have Light. "NVould it not be well for Con gress to examine into the matter of owr National Ranks, and show to the people whether that infamous measure was not forced upon the country bv money and stockholders in Congress? We know that one Senator from Oregon has a large interest in on'e of these institutions he helped to create, and we are of the opinion that there are other in that body who are similarly inter ested. Is it any worse for a Con gressman to steal the people's rnoWyby means of a Credit Mobil- ier than by a favored? system of banking? Let there be an investi gation into this matter, and we have no doubtcthat this pet of the Radical party in power will be found to be the oil spring of self inteiested Congressmen, out of which they have realized millions of dollars. The Credit Mobilier fraud is but o small item in the dealings of Congressmen, and ... . -i ; ,. while that body is Investigating J rascality in these eoirnpt members, let it be cxtcr.dtxKto every branch of rohberv. - ------ ZMor.i: Couiuttiox, It i now reported that the Facitic 'M Steamship Company expended n half million dollars among Con gressmen to get the Government aid h-eT have heretofore received, and that an investigation of the matter is la ho had.

An exchange, in reviewing the Credit Mobilier subject, sums up the matter about as follows : The Credit Mobilier exposure shows a lamentable condition of public morals. The pretence that mem bers of Congress had a right to deal in the stock of the Credit Mobilier the best defence yet put forward in behalf of the accus ed Congressmen, and it falls to the ground at the slightest touch. Admitting the speculative rights of Congressmen, which at best are questionable, it is plain that no honorable and conscientious man would speculate in the stocks of a company formed to defraud the government. The hasty and swef-pmg denials of the men who speculated m it show that these persons felt their actions to be dis honorable, and entirely dispose of the hollow pretence of Oakes Ames when he affects to regard these transactions as just and proper. A frank and free statement of the case would have followed the con sciousness of innocence, but instead there has been much equivocation and some apparently unmistakable falshoods. The cases of Patterson, Colfax, Kelley and Garfield are especial!' inexcusable, and de mand a swift and terrible retribu tion. Their offences are not offen ces to be readily forgiven or easily forgotten. An honest iurv could not fail to convict them on the tes timony adduced. Why, then, should an honest Congress fail to punish them ? The country should demand this of Congress and the Republican party, and there is no way to evade the duty. If this duty is not performed without fear and without favor the result will be tlie dissolution of the party in power and the punishment of all who withhold punishment from the guilty. The question of the hour, then, is, simply, What shall be the action of Congress? The necessity of the punishment is apparent, and its character is the only thing to be determined. This ought to prove no very difficult problem. The American people recognize a dif ference in the guilt of the accused persons, and consequently there ought to be a difference in their retribution. As regards the Congressmen who have admitted their dealings in the slock of tlie Credit Mobilier the country will be satisfied with their resignations. This, much, at least, is due from them to the constitu ents whom they have misrepresent ed. Anything short of it will not satisfy the people. This punishment may seem se vere to tlie men who yielded to the tcmidr.tlons of Oakes Ames; but, with propriety, it cannot be allow ed to passed with less severitv. rEM . . 1 - . . -. .... . i no oilier eui!H'M.i(.-ii im- j per sons who have made their offences more heinious by denying them can be adequately punished only by expulsion. Perhaps, so far as the popular estimate fit all of these men is concerned, neither resigna tion nor expulsion will add to their disgrace. Their downfall is irre trievable, even though the' should continue in Congress for two years huver. Their countrymen can no longer regard them with respect. Their constituents can no longer be deceived with the idea that they are honoring themselves in honor ing them. Tlie future ? black be fore llieiri, even without this last sign of a nation's wrath. The resignation and expulsion of these unfaithful public servants is neces sary only because it is the oniv fit ting expression of a nation's wrath. As regards the case of Senator Patterson, we have no suggest ions to offer, lie is the worst of offend ers worse, if possible, even, than Vice President Colfax; but he is beyond any national punishment. The Senate of the United States, as it is now composed, cannot be asked to do any great act of na tional justice. A man like Har lan could not be expected to vote for the condemnation of his asso ciate. To give Harlan an oonor- ; tunity ot voting tor his associate's I a,VT ,iU:l1 wouM be only adding one disgrace to another. Pomerov and , v; . it. ,,,,, ..... , , . Cwuvvell ought not to have it m j their power to decide the fate or i determine the guilt of another ! na'or. Other men in the Semite ! I 1 1 , m. . are eqauy uutUteU by their own acts or by the grave imputations winch have been nretcrred against them to take upon ilu niseires to be the judges of others. If it to were otherwise, and the Senate were as wise and good and pure as it has been in times past, there would not only imt be a ouestion of this kind, but Patterson's fate ! would have been decided before ! now. Tite charges against hitn would not have gone unchallenged, I and ho. would have been onicklv j tried and as quickly punished. 1 Xor would Col lax have had the ! temerity to have piesided over a j body among whose presiding ot'i- i cers" are named some of the best i and greatest names in the history j of Che Republic. Impeachment I for him would be equally fruitless; I for, though the House of Repre sentatives would make the charges, the Senate alone can pass upon them. Just now the Senate is not a jury which will do honor to the country in the trial of offenders, and it is better that the cases which cannot be tried by a body whose members arc so unworthy should be committed to the courts, and determined as similar cases would be determined if the alleged offend ers were not men of high official position. Tlie Governor Endorsed. The Puget Sound J)i--utch has the following endorsement of the (lovernor's protest to the Modoc Peace Commission : The General Government having ordered a sus pension of hostilities against the Modoc Indians, and appointed a Peace Commission to treat with the view of complying with their demand for a cession of lands of their own selection in the Stale of Oregon, .s a reservation for their own exclusive use, under Govern ment subsidy and protection, whieh would necessitate the remov al of white settlers, citizens of the State, and secure to the murderers and robbers of many white citizens of the State amnesty for their man ifold crimes, Governor Grover has issued a firm and well considered proclamation against this Federal invasion of State authority and superceding of State laws relating solely to the protection of life and property of citizens of th? State against domestic violence1. In this position the Governor is not only vindicating the unquestionable rights, of tiie State against Federal usurpation, but is interposing, te the extent of his power, the only protection to the exposed settlers of their homes and repetitions of Indian outrages from which that portion of the State has so often sullered. The heartless folly of conceding belligerent rights le nomadic ban, Is of thieves and mur derers of defenceless citizens, is bad enough when exercised upon terri tory exclusively under Federal jurisdiction; but the attempt to establish a penal colony within the bounds of an independent Stafe, in violation of law and contempt of State authoiity, is simp! outra geous, and if it leads to deadly conUiet as it inevitably will the blame must rest upon the abilrarv a.-sumptio'ns of Federal authority. The grand jury in Jackson comi ty lias presented true bills of indict ment against a number of these Indian outlaws for murder. The whole power of the State is com pelled to arrest; an. I if lawfully tried and. found guilty, what legal authoritv has the Picsideiit, or anv one holding office under him, to arrest the judgment of the Court? ft is time that Stale laws were vin dicated in the case of Indian crimes, and Governor (.trover will have the sympathy and support of all law abiding citizens in the stand he has taken. . - I'nrc Ii::i'.ircnce.

COURTESY OF BMiCROFT In tfts Ilijrht rath. The OnrjonUni says that the organization of Farmers' clubs throughout the country is hailed by every true friend of the State as an omen of good. Oregon is essentially an agricultural and stock-growing country, and the Farmers:' clubs are in the interest of these two branches of farming. At one meeting the question elis cussed relates to stock raising, at another to grain-growing, and then to the all-absorbing question : how shall we carry our produce to mar ket at rates that will allow us some compensation for our own labor, and for the money we invest ? The farmers discuss these questions from a standpoint of an immediate and vital interest in them, and therefore with a keener intelligence than any other c;ass of pel sons could bring to their consideration. The editors of newspapers may sit in their efliecs and write high sounding about the wisdom of this plan, and the unwisdom ef that, but the most of the common sense that is brought to bear upon sub jects of this nature, and that finally wins the general endorsement, comes from the farmers thenjselves from their chub discussions, or their published letters. As a spec imen of this, look jit the newspaper rhetoric about "diversified indus try." It i:i all very well to urge a farming community to consider the fact that their industiies must be more diversified, that they mmt not rely on the cultivation ef the soil and stock-raising alone, but .,,.. i,-,. 4 , , e n inast has inanun.ctor.e. ot M kinds in ttieir midst.

Hut for the present, and, so far as we e.in see, for the indefi nite future, the farmers of Oregon will have to rely upon their grain fields, orchards and their pastures, and the sensible thing for them to do is to make the most of the pres ent, husband iheiv resources, make the best use of whatever opportun ities they may have to assist in the development al v a y s si o w which may sometimes place them upon an. equal looting with the great ""manu facturing communities.

We find the follenving good and sensible remarks in one of our ex changes, and we would most earn estly recommend them to the con sideration of our readers generally, and to our citizens of this county and city in particular: There is no better plan to secure the prosperity of a town than for the citizens to help one another. !y " helping one another" we mean a reciprocity of patronage, the pol icy of patronizing home industry, on all occasions where it can be done.. It needs ne argument to show that such policy will advan tage all the interests of a commun ity and so enhance its wealth and general progress. Some towns have found it to their advantage to give from the common the treasury large premiums for the establishment of manufactories, realizing immense returns from the increase of population and business growing out of the increased de mand for labor. All classes are benefited by producing a popula tion, from the boot-black to the banker, for production creates wealth. Imagine a community that produces nothing, and is com pelled to supply all its wants frem abread ; is it not plain that it must become bankrupt? The At lanta (Ga.) ('oiirt'ttution has an excellent article on the subject of patronizing home industry, which we heartily endorse. It says: "Do not send abroad for help, if you have work to do, when it can be eione in your own town. Khconr age your own honest, industrious, faithful mechanics. Titer need all the help they can get. Ry such a coarse von keep nionev at home, assist the worthy, ail.l have iu-t as a ,1 ,rA,l- , ,!,, , 1 W'" . good U otk peiloillU'd.
