OREGON' CITT, OREGON "JOE 13. 1S74.
. Election Returns.
We have not yet received the offi
cial rote of the State. In another
column will be found the vote as fac
as received. The entire Democratic
ticket, with the t 'ception of the can
didate for Superintendent of Public
Instruction, is elected by majorities
from 200 to 1,400, tlie latter being
Mr. Chadwick's probable majority,
anl the former Mr. La Dow's. "We
have endeavored to make up a list of
the next Legislature, but the returns
are too incomplete for us to give it
to our readers in anything like a sat
isfactory form. As far as definitely
known, the Democrats have elected
to the Lower House fourteen mem
bers; the Independents seventeen,
and the" Radicals fourteen. This
makes forty-five, leaving fifteen
members unaccounted for. No par
ty will have a majority in the Lower
House. The Senate, as far as heard
from, will be composed of eleven
Democrats; six -Independents, and
nine Rudicals. This leaves the joint
Senator from Cb-ssop, Columbia, and
Tillamook, one from Jackson, Uma
tilla, and Wasco to hear from, mak
ing four not yet'reported. Of these
it is altogeter probable that three
will be Democrats and one Radical.
It will be seen that neither party has
control of the Senate. The Radicals
have thus far only elected four Sena
tors this election, the remainder
holding over from last session'.

It appears from the New York
Sun's Washington correspondent
that our distinguished ex-Senator
and present Attorney General, has a
little partnership account with Boss
r, Shepherd, in "Washington, by which
no makes the General Government
grade his property at the expense of
the same generous public which
bought him his curriage and horses.
The correspondent says: Attorney
General Williams, at tlie request of
the committee, appeared and made a
statement concerning the grading of
bis lots on llhod? Island avenue by
the Board of Public Works. He 'de
nied in the most; emphatic manner
that there was any collusion between
himself and the board to have his
G work done at the expense of the pub
lic. His story, in substance, was as
follows: A contractor, Mr. Riley,
O asked permission to take gravel from
his lots and he giive him" that- priv
ilege, with the understanding that
lie was to level tl'e surface and re
place the'ssoil removed. He also
0 gave the contra. -tor permission to
take dirt from his-ground to Ml lots
near by w hich had been declared a
public nuisance. ; There was no un
derstanding that Anybody was to bo
paid for grading Lis lots, and he had
no idea tfiat thej Board of Public
Works was to jay)one cent for that
purpose. This was his version of
the case; but wl.eu the records of
the Board of Public Works were
produced it appeared, first, that Mr.
Attoruev-General Williams had ad
dressed a letter
Boss Shepherd
asking that lots
.which the. Attor-
ney-General's
e stoou should
" be graded and iix
up in fine style.
This letter Shepherd
substance as follows:
endorsed in
' Referred to
-Clem Hall, General Inspector, who
will have this attinded to at once to
the entire satisfa.Aou of Mrs. Wil- j
liams." Then I llowed a further!
endorsement by Ve General Inspec
tor that he had ordei-ed lfiley and
Clark, contractors, to grade the
grounds about the Attorney General's
house as directed. Accompanying
this letter were the bills for the con
tractors, and the certificate of the
General Inspector that the work had
been done as per order of Shepherd,
and the measurement of the same lv
assistant engineer Franklin, show
ing that about 10,0011 cubic yards of
earth hau neen reinoveu. lue con
tractor, .ur. ia' y was sworn ant
testified that the General Inspector
urged him tt do the work, telling
him that it was to accommodate Mrs.
Williams; that she herself came
after him and urged him to take the
job and finish it immediately. He
did undertake it and complete it,
with tins understanding that the
work was being done for the special
accommodation of the Attorney-General,
and performed it iu good faith.
After the work was completed there
was diiliculty about getting his pay,
which he could r.ot understand until
he found out that thev were troub
led to find a place to. charge it. Fi- j
nally they charged part of it to :
Rhode Island Avenue and a part to j
a public alley, and for this he re- I
O ceived certificate ; but for the bal
ance, some j?l,M0, was still unpaid.
The General It spector, Mr. Hall,
was called, and corroborated the
contractor in every particular. It
also appeared that a great deal more
work would have been done had not
Chief Engineer Cluss discovered
what was going on, and therefore
stopped the work.
The Result. La Dow will have
about 300 majority in the State.
Governor Grover will have about
500 majority. Chadwiek will have
about 1,400 majority. A. H. Brown
will have SO0 majority. M. V. Brown
will have 800 mujority. Dr. Dawne
will be defeated by about 300. The
figures thus far received, and those
yet to come, indicate that the above
will bo about the result when the
official vote is counted. Considering
the desperate effort made by our op
pcnMf, this is a gTand i?t?rr.

The Rights of the States.
"While our Radical friends argue
that thi3 question was settled by the
sword in the late "little unpleasant
ness," it i3 gratifying to the lovers
of our country that we find occasion
ally a man bold enough to stand in
the halls of Legislation who dares to
still argue in favor of the Govern
ment as founded by the revolutionary
fathers. In a debate in the Senate
recently, Senator L. V. Bogy, of
Missouri, outlined the rights of the
States in a most able manner. He
said "however much we may differ
as to the powers of the present Con
stitution whether those powers are
enumerated and specified, or general
and derivative in their nature or as
to the jiowers delegated to the Gen
eral Government and those retained
by the States, we all agree upon this
one great fact, that all the powers,
functions, and offices of tlie Federal
Government were originally derived
from the States. The States were the
source and fountain of all political
power, and they granted to the con
federated Republic in which they
united all the power and authority
which we possess to-day. In the free
consent of the different States this
Government had its birth; by their
sufferance and support we "live, and
move, i.nd have our being;" and
when that support is withdrawn, or
the central power gains the mastery
over those that first conferred author
ity, then this great political edifice
must turn to dust or despotism.
"But while all agree in the general
fact that tlie whole power and author
ity contained in the" Federal Consti
tution were derived from the separate
States, yet there have always been
different opinions among our greatest
statesmen as to the amount of power
thus delegated. ' On this subject
have always been two schools of
statesmen and publicists in this coun
try, differing somewhat widely upon
this point. One school might be de
nominated the latitudinariaus and
the other the strict constructionists.
Alexander Hamilton and Thomas
Jefferson, two of the greatest men and
ablest statesmen this country has
ever 2rodnced, may be produced,
may be regarded as true types of
these two classes. Mr. Hamilton be
lieved it would be better for the
whole nation to have more power
concentrated in the central govern
ment, and his interpretations of the
Constitution, as found in the Feder
alist and other writings of this dis
tinguished statesman and patriot,
plainly indicate his tendencies in this
direction. Mr. Jefferson, who was
his peer in all statesmau-like quali
ties, and whose mind was ever on the
j watch to prevent all encroachments
upon popular freedom, strongly in-
! clined to the doctrine that all power
should be reserved to the State, ex
cept such as might be absolutely nec
essary to discharge the functions of
the General Government. Both these
great men agreed as to the common
origin of all our political power in
this Government of the United
States, but differed as to the amount
that should be delegated and retained
by the States conferring the power
and composing the Government.
"In those days each State was sov
ereign, containing within itself all
the elements, power and prerequisites
for independent self-government. To
secure a greater good each State still
preserving its sovereignty, conceded
so much of its original power as
would give sufficient authority to a
union or of separate republics to en
able that union or confederation to
perform such governmental acts as
were adapted to benefit the whole
fraternity of Statesbut which could
not remain the prerogative of any
one State. Such power or right as
that of declaring war, coining money.
regulating . commerce, conducting'
postal arrangements, etc., was of
this character."'

He'll Get It.- In a debate in the
U. S. Senate lately, Mr. Bayard, of
Delaware, and of course a Democrat,
characterized the proposition to legal
ize the voting of women as "one of
gross irreverence and as trifling with
one of the greatest questions lving at
the very foundation of society. It was
in defiance of the law of God himself.
It seemed strange to him that in the
fundamental principles of the Govern
ment." It is altogether probable
that Mr. Bayard did not have the
fear of Mrs. Duniway before his eyes
when he made his remarks.

Washington, June 4. It is
thought that nothing but want of
time will prevent the Senate from
passing the Anti-Polygamy Bill
which passed the House. The Sen
ate, it will be remembered, at the
last session of Congress passed a bill
looking to the abolishment of polyg
amy, much severer in itS terms than
the present House bill. Those who
are therefore more active in favoring
the latter are pressing it earnestly
upon the attention of Senators.
Prospective fees of United States
officials in real estate combina
tions, etc., seem to cover the
greater part of the interest in this
new legislation, more than any zeal
against the Mormon religion.
Washington, June 5. The Com
mittee on Elections, by a vote of six
against five, agreed not to report the
resolution of Hazleton, reciting that
Delegate Cannon had been proven a
polygamist, having wanted (?) one
of his wives since the passage of the
Anti-Polygamy Law of lt02, and
therefore should be expelled. The
committee also voted down the res
olutions postponing all action in the
case; but it is generally believed
that further consideration of .the
question will be postponed until
next session.
Washington, June C. The House
Post Office. Conm it tee have agreed
to report a bill providing that on
newspaper and periodical publica
tions mailed from known olfices of
publication, or news agency, and all
addressed to regular subscribers or
news agents, postage shall be charg
ed at the following rates: Newspa
pers and periodicals issued weekly,
and more frequently than once u
week, one cent and a half; on those
issued less frequently than once a
a week, three cents for each pound,
or fraction thereof. On receipt of
such papers and periodicals at the
office of mailing, they are to weighed
in bulk and postage paid by a spe
cial adhesive stamp. Newspapers,
one copy to each actual subscriber
residing within the county where
printed in whole or in part and pub
lished, go free through the mails,
but the same shall not bo delivered
at a letter carrier's ollice, or distrib
uted by carriers, unless postage is
paid thereon as by law provided; and
newspapers and magazines recipro
cally interchanged between publish
ers, not exceeding fifteen ounces in
weight, to be confined to a single
copy of each publication, go free
through the mails. All mailable
matter of tlie third class may weigh
not exceeding four pounds for each
package, and postage shall lie charg
ed at the rate of one cent for each
two pounds and fraction thereof.
Affidavits are to be made by publish
ers or news agents to secure their
adherence to those provisions, for
violation of which penalties are pre
scribed. The bill passed by the House di
rects tlie Secretary of the Treasury
to establish life-savint; stations at

It is conceded that the Civil Bights
Bill is dead. President Grant will
certainly veto it if passed, his pur
pose being, it is asserted, to make
himself popular with the Southern
people in view of his third term as
President; but it cannot pass. In
the House Blaine ha actively oppos

wish to give the President a chance
to veto it.

relating to the alleged scandal con
nected with his early life. He in
vited and challenged the fullest in
vestigation into all the charges
preferred against him. The commit
tee privately considered the matter
and unanimously came to the con
clusion that there was not sufficient'
basis for any charge preferred against
Mitchell to justify any further inves
tigation, and directed the Chairman
to report to the Senate accordingly.
Chicago, June 10. A Washing
ton special says the Conference Cur
r ncy Bill will pass both Houses by

speculation is indulged in as to its

COURTESY OF
Our Special Washington Letter.
"Washington, May 25, 1874.
The rumors that Secretary Rich
ardson would shortly resign have
been very numerous during the past
fortnight. But it is now said that
' the President, hearing of Richard
son's unwillingness to pursue such a
course, has made known his deter
mination not to request him to re
sign so long as he is the subject of
unfavorable comment on the part of
the newspapers. The inconvenience
of this view of his position ' is very
obvious, as the press being free,
there is of course no plan by which
general silence can be secured from
it, with regard to the Secretary of
the Treasury or any other man, and
to persist in its silence, as a condi
tion antecedent to the removal of a
bad officer, would certainly be the
introduction of a very startling inno
vation into the machinery of govern
ment. v It is hoped, however, that
the press will not be silent. If it
owes any duty to the public all, it is
to speak out until Mr. Richardson
sends in his resignation. That gen
tleman is sinqdy undergoing proper
public censure for gross misconduct
in an important office; as a delin
quent olieial who has neglected his
duty and made himself the confed
erate of persons engaged in robbing
the-fax-payers and defrauding the
Treasury, and now that he has been
convicted by the proper court of
inquiry, it is clearly unwise for the
l iesiueni 10 retain a person m las
Cttbinet, though Ids retention in of
fice, under the circumstances, jnay
be kindness, it is kindness that will
not ftear defence.
The Attorney General, on Friday
last, made his report on the Arkansas
trouble. He found that the State
constitution made the legislature of
the State, the sole authority to de
termine the contested elections for
the Governorship, and that it deter
mined as between Baxter and Brooks,
in the favor of Baxter; that the Pres
ident could not go behind tlie decis
ion of the legislators as to the legal
ity of his election and that ho
(Baxter) was therefore entitled to
the assistance of the Federal Gov
ernment in suppressing the local
revolt. An effort has been made by
the Ring to have the all air revived
by Congressional inquiry, but the
House refused to comply bya vote
of 105 of '.!.
As there is a reasonable certainty
that any financial bill by which it
is attempted to inflate the currency,
will meet with a veto and as there is
an equal certainty that the majority
in Congress is still in favor of expan
sion, it may be said that little or
nothing of public interest has been
accomplished in the Semite since la -t
writing. Mr. Sherman's Currency
Bill has for the greater part of the
time been the topic of discussion and
the inflationist Senators standing as
they stood during the long and tedi
ous three months debate. Mr. Bout
well, however, has made a much
more respectable figure than former
ly; and Mr. Washburn, the new
Massachusetts Senator, shows hini
self to be a man well qualified for
his present position. The house has
busied itself with the Appropriation
Bill, and much to every body's sur
prise on Tuesday passed the Moiety
Bill without even so much as a
speech from Butler in behalf of the
informers.
On Thursday last occurred the
marriage of Miss Nelly Grant. This
lias formed a theme for conversation
for weeks past, and as a matter of
course society people were in a per
fect fever of expectation as to who
wereto bo the lucky ones, i. e., re
ceive an invitation. Invitations to
the number of one hundred and sixty
were isssued, and were for the most
part responded to by a prompt ar
rival on the morning of the 'Jlst, of
the highly favored recipients.
The marriage took place in the
East Room, by gaslight. This room
which is particularly suited for so
august an occasion, was in its glory,
for independent of its gold and white
decorations, windows draped with
lace, and the magnificent crystal
chandaliers, tlrt; floral decorations
were superb, the windows were con
verted into exquisite bowers of
Flora's choicest oll'erings, aud above
the dais was the marriage bell of
perfectly white flowers. The mar
riage ceremony was performed at 11
o'clock, and after partaking of re
freshments the bridal party left by
a special train for New York. The
preparations for this event were on
the most magnificent scale, tho
trousseau is almost beyond descrip
tion, there are silks of every hue and
color, there are shawls from India,
laces direct from Brussels, gauzes,
grenadines and hats for every cos
tume. Nothing has been forgotten
that will contribute to the happiuess
of this lovelv bride. The beauty of
the presents'have never been excelled
hero. They are from far and near,
representing the industries of every
clime, and the donors have each vied
with the other in their costliness and
quality. D- M-

The Oregon Victory.
Says the San Francisco Exaiaier :
The returns from Oregon are sutfi-
J ciently full and iositive to indicate
for a certainty the triumphant elec
tion of the entire Democratic State
ticket by a large majority. There is
but little doubt of the election of
Mr. La Dow to Congress. Had this
gentleman been defeated, tlie result
would not have been a great tlisap-
pointment, inasmuch as in his can -
vass he labored under the disadvan-
tarres of beiucr prostrated lv a severe
;-- -i "0 1
stroke of illness, visited upon him
at the opening of the campaign and
continuing up to this time. Owing
to this unfortunate circumstance he
was unable to take any active part
in the canvass, while his Radical op
ponent, Mr. Richard Williams, put
his whole heart and phisical vigor
into the fight, and being a man of
line address and much ability of the
sort adaptable to political exigencies,
besides having great personal popu
larity throughout the State, being
widely and favorably known, there
was much room for fearing Ea Dow's
defeat. But the probabilities are
that the next Congress w ill be. graced
by the presence of a Democratic
representative from Oregon. In
view of this fact a sketch of his ca
reer may be of interest.
George A. La Dow was born in
Cayuga county, New York, March IS
18(; aud is, consequently, forty
eight years of age. In 1 his fa
ther emigrated to Chicago, Illinois;
and in 18ii Mr. La Dow comniecned

was elected a member of the House
of Representatives of the State Leg
islature, oercomiug a Republican
majority of about lie hundred, and
bejng pitted against a strong and
popular candidate of the Republican
party. In 15oV he moved to Uma
tilla county, Oregon, -and in 1872
represented that county in tho Lower
House of the Legislature; ami even
strong Republicans admit that lie
was a very etllcient member and ac
complished much for his county.
Mr. La Dow will make an active
and efficient Representative.. He is
possessed of unbending, integrity,
and hence cannot be bought up by
designing and corrupt men. lie is a
kind neighbor, and is universally
respected
lud beloved in his eoni
His private character is
munitv.
above reproach. As a speaker he is
not considered brilliant or i'owery;
but he makes his points clearly aud
distinctly and sustains them by facts
and cogent reasoning based on them,
which is far belter. He is inclined
to love his ease; but like all men of
his bfiild, is possessed of great pow
ers of endurance, ami when he once
becomes really warmed up he is a
very formidable antagonist in debate.
The liame of the U. S. Senate.
The Missorri Republican thinks
that the trouble with the Senate is
that its rules were designed to regu
late the interior course of gentlemen
with notions of ' personal honor,
with moral scruples and manly con
sciences. And now tho ' control of
that body has fallen into tho hands
of ballot-box stuffers, dealers in
straw and wild-cat mining stocks; a
man who sits for South Carolina
while the records of a Circuit Court
in Pennsylvania show an indictment
against him for an infamous crime,
outlawed by the statute of limitation;
a bigamist elected and sworn in un
der the alias that shielded him from
detection and punishment; and
well, the catalogue is too sickening,
and yet this body is governed bv
rule3 that were made for Silas
Wright, and Clay, and Calhoun, and
Webster, and Benton! Why, you
might as well try to govern the Pen
itentiary under the bylaws of the
