We ircRcnt the patrons of tlio Ex tkupkiss this week with tho iaper published on entiru.now type. It is not inferior in appcaranc to any paper published in Oregon now, and wo o feel justly proud of it. In making ihiscimportant improvement in tlio paper, it lias cost us ,e-onsieloral le money, and we hope to receive ti;e additional support necessary to re imburse us for this outlay. Wo do not wish our patrons to think that litis c:qcnse-is an lmricauou mai au :ire getting rich hy puhlishing the KxTEi:ri:isc. Wo have managed to 1 i il. .. make a living out of it hy .doing a great deal of woik, acting in the ca pacity, of editor, compositor, press- Thian and not unf requently as " devil and our aim has ever been, to make the pWper a credit and benefit to our citv, one of which we nor our citizens 3 .should bo a--.ham.ed. This has been our principle aim, and we have cheer fully devoted all t'io receipts of our thn.siiie.--s to further this object. That we have fcUCCT-edcel in giving the lis Ti:n:-nisn a good si. aiding as a relia ble and worthy newspaper, wo have rverv rea.-on to believe, if wo may be allowed to take the ilattcring eompli ments which have been given us by imr natrons and tho lves;s. We have A thus far made the paper a success, and wv nrooose to hpare ne ither la bor r.or oxpyiise to still further im lii-uMMt. V. e have made up our miiitls to live here and if wo can sue ces.-.fiilly build tip a business, and bene'it, those amoi.g whom we have -a.d our ht, and the Slate, our high est ambition will have been gratified. To this end we shall devote all our energies. It is the dutv of everv citizen whe has an interest in our town or county l give his support to the local paper. Tiie puv.iion of politics Inn nothing t- do v.itli this matter. The paper is an in; trumeut to advance prosper ity bf the people of the county, irre spective of party and even if a neu tral paper was printed instead of a party paper, wo have every reason to suppose many patrons would see tilings published in its columns they did not like. This they must expect. It i.; an imperative duty every citizen o-.ves t his comity to give his home I a per Lis iirst consideration, lie gets by that means news which is most directly to his interest, and be dsides thf editor of a local paper sends Abroad such information as will ben efit' every citizen. Y.'o havo aimed to make the ExTramisn an independ ent party paper, fruo from tho con trol of cliques or combinations of men, and we have spoken our views freely on all subjects, holding no one responsible for tLem but ourself. The paper will be such in the future, and while v.e are an uncompromising partisan, we shall ever claim tho right, and cxerckc it, to condemn or approve the actions of all in public daces whether they be Democrats or Jlepuhlieaiis. AVe are not bound to uphold wrong in any party and will not doit. To fiio merchants of this city we would "return our thanks for their .s;iport, and trust that they have been amply rewarded for the enter primoht of them have exhibited in patronizing their home paper. Every business man should be represented in the columns of his local paper, no matter how small or what kind of bu siness he may be engaged in. It pre sents inducements to persons to come to our city, and people abroad judge the business capacity of a place by tho number and liberality of the ad vivtisers. You will never Hud a fa vorable impression created abroad of a town that does not advertise. We propose to do our share toward the advancement of our town and county, and we hope our merchants and business men will perform theirs. The Exxmu'iusu in its present new- appearance will attract tho attention of those in the East, and the impivs sion cannot but be favorable to .' t own which support such a local pa per. There is scarcely a State in the Union to which the BNTiiniTasi; does not go, ana we nope our Eastern O mail may le greatly increased. Noth ing can bo more acceptable to friends in the Ikist than the receipt of a local paper printed w here those near and dear to them are located. In proof of what g-od the Exxmunusi: has done towards bringing people here we will state that we know personal ly of four families who were furnish ed with the paper while in tho East ern States who now reside in Oregon nr.d recently we received the follow ir.g letter which explains itself: Yati:::t.oo, X.

Eel!. 17, ls7:.. r .- w -'in. -. orrxr.t: ,r: x havom unelo m tie State ot Juichnrau that is going to move to Oregon bv the name ci .ionu jrusn, sometimo in April, and-I expect he will locu somewhere m your locality, and if ho should, I shall conic i;i about one year from that time, if all is well and as he vent me one of his papers oi an oni date, and l examined it am thought it might give me some infer mat ion, therefore, will you please seial me a copy of a late date, and I GX ill remit vou the price- of subserin tion. " V U. EAXeiinn The Mr. Brush above alluded to is an uncle to Chas. Cutting of this county, who subscribed for tho Ex- Tn:i'i:xsE for him about six months since. There can bo no doubt but what the payment of a little sum of money for this purpose returns many fohl in duo time, and a.vcIioic many of our citizens will not only take a tleasuro in sending papers East, but feel it a duty to do bo. It is purely raatter of business, and tho man who will show a proper degrco of GU I' rpriso cannot help hut prosper. V,'o are not making these sugges tions simply for our own benefit, but for the benefit of all concerned. The merchant, the farmer, tho manufac turer and all are equally interested in maintaining r.ral liberally support ing their county paper. Let it bo cheerfully done. 'i'he Prcssdcnt's Inaugural. On our first page this week we print (Sen. Grant's Inaugural Address, de livered on the 1th hist. It is inco herent and full of errors, whether they occurred in the transmission by telegraph or whether Grant war, in his ' happy " humor, wc are notable to state. Ah a literary production it is like all the State papers which he has put forth, and amounts to noth ing, but is characteristic- of the man who delivered it. The Ihuliea! press, of course, I.a i -i.v: :ed it in unmeas ured tor:.!-, vtiich we suppose is simply because it emanates from the mail v, ho has the giving away of pub 1 ic patronage, lie starts out with the apparent idea that his elevation this time is the dispensation of Provi dence. Ear from it. People gen erally see it in an entirely different light, and regard it as a mere tempo rary success of a set of designing men who have moulded him for the pa-d four years as iho clay is mould ed in the hands of the potter. The history of his administration, shows this beyond a doubt, and that he has been the mere cat's paw for design iug, corrupt rascals. His entire ad ministration was devoted to strength ening tho party Avhich elected him and his nolle v towards the Mouth was such as to compel tho people to re sort to violence. Prior to his dee lion lie had made a tour of inspection through the Southern Slates to ascer tain the temper and feeling of the pr-o p!e, w hen he h i hired that they were satisfied to accept the result of the war; but this did. not suit the lladical managers, and Iv?nco his w hole policy was changed in order to appease the clamor of Itadieal joli licians and demagogues. Provi dence had nothing to do with his e'ection; but Credit Mobillior had. iho nigger appears to no his great aim, and to the elevation of the race he promises equal rights to whites as for as ho can give them. It seems to us, in the face of the fact that he is tho nigger President, had he said that it was the nigger veto Avhich had k:ated him to tho position ho would have come nearer tho truth, and in his premises for their good ho ac knowledges tho debt he owes to them It seeiiis that the lladlcal party has come down to just hvophmks in their platform, mgger and Credit Ylobilier Nigger and ste alings. O - o-o- Similai: The San Eraneisco Alia in speaking of iho great telegraph monopoly Avhich is so burdensome to the country, says that 3Ir.

To tiii: Km von of tii k Oukuonian : As you are, or have been, a practicing 1 iwyir, 1 Avisli lo ask you whether there is any Avay in Avhich a person can get his case disposed ot'Avithm a reasonable time alter it is commenced. My law yer tells me ho pushes tho case as Vast as possible, and that the judge has taken somo question about it tinder advise ment, and that nothing can lo floiio further, till the judge decides. 15ut this has been six months, and still tho samp excuse. I am half inclined to think my lawyer is humbugging me. Js it possible under oar system of court pro ceedings that the exeuso of my laAvyer can be true? and if so, why is not the tiling corrected by thy proper authori ties? Yours respect fully, J.ITIOANT. We can answer our correspondent's first question and second question but not the last. i irst, There i ; no Avay by which a case can be pushed along faster than is permitted by those mks of practiee winch expeiiem e has shown are neces sary to secure lairncss ana tiiorougn- nes.-i iii judicial inve stigation. J here Avill irequently be unavc.idable alay in bringing a cause en for hearing, and lor that dela' tho lawvers are otten taken tota-;k most unjustly. Lawyers, as a general class, possess about the a"crage amour. t of laziness, fully the average of cupidity, and not less than the average ot hom-stv. 1 l;eretore, tiie !rt-si way to speed your case is to pay aiiv more irrowiin'' man vc.u woidd do vour iawver pi-ohmd v ai.tt wit hout when pavimra man ins wares ti r wc-rk- ing n v.i'.r farm.

Cbna, Ailh(; Ctunnixsiou' r f fudlitu AJl'uirs Sir: the Commission appointed, to examine into the e-auses raid bring to v. cone-ln-sion th.e Modoe war, having e-onclud-cd its labors, it was agreed that each member should subraithis own views and opinions of the'snhject as a linal re)ort. In pursuance e.f Avhich agree ment I submit the following opinions: 1. The cause;-, leading to AvarAvere tlio dissatisfaction ef Captain Jack's baud of Modeics with the provisions and execution of the treaty of October 11, leol, and refused to abide there by. To what extent wrongs justified resistance, the Commission, having no poAvcr judicially to investigate, cannot say. 2. The immediate cause of hostil ities was resistance by the Indians to military coercion. o. Unconditional surrender e;f the Indians, and the trial mid punish ment of the guilty by tho civil au thorities, Avould have been more sat isfactory to the whites and a better example to the Indiana than raero lenient conditions. -i. Trrms of i urrender wora oiler eel tho Indians to save tho farther ef fusiem ef blood and secure a perma nent peace by the removal ef the whole t ril o from tho count ry ; a result scarcely to be Imped for by continu ed host ilities. 5. Th" terms agreed to by the Commission Ave-ro suggested and must bo carried into clle.ct by the military. A Commi s.don to negotiate a peace was therefore unnecessary. C. . A Commission to impure into Iho "canac; of the Avar," sli-nild be comprised of men Avlir.Iiy disinterest ed ir. the linding of the Commission, directly er indirectly, smd cleihed Avitli full power to investigate. 7. Some of the y of this (ommisaion being obmoxious to the Indians, it was a hindrance to ne gotiations. Having no power lo ad minister oaths or send for pe-rsons or papers, and the ohicial acts of the' chairman to be reviowed, its findings must have bei'n imperfect and un satisfactory in regard to the causes of the war.
