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:

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.

After the X,awyers.
Oi.kn C'ottaoi:, March 17"3.
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. Then if be "iocs not
coin;: to the work, discharge liim. You
will sel.U.iu have this to do.
.Second. It is possible for a hid are.
under our l.-TV.-s, to take a case under
advisement for six months, or even a.
year, but we .should think tiie manifest
wrong of such a course, except under
oxtraonti'iarv circumstances, or with
tin? consent .f -ouiis 1. would prevent
ins doing so. It. avouM be suppose I
the regard a judge would have lor his
own re;ui;:tioii. would be a suiucieut
guaraiuv auainst suth an a! use of his
power. Orcgouian.

We are inde bted, says the Ihillnlin ,
to I ton. Jese Apple-gate for a copy
ef his final rejiort to the Commissi on
er of Indian Affairs, which wo present
herewith:
To !h;; Ih.i. If. J2. 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.
I therefore consider phe Commis
