SEPT. 15, 1874.
Tb GoTerur Message.
We to day publish this document
in full in supple mettt. It is State
paper and reflects credit ttpon the
Chief executive and on oar State.
The financial condition of oar State
affairs is given ir.i this document in a
aoncise and comArehensire manner,
and while our adical friends are
asserting that .ocStte indebtedness
has reached -its hundreds of thou
Bonds, it shows that, considering the
extravagance of oar last Legislature,
the Stata funds are in . a favorable
condition. The soldiers' bounty and
relief fund have i a sufficient money
on hand to prj the outstanding
bonds. A full rid comprehensive
statement is msvfc of the condition
of our public-;: lands, and shows that
the Executive h&s been active in se
curing the land? granted to the State
by the General Government. The
statement of our Common School
fund shows that this fund now
amounts to $4,000. lie reccom
mends that the ;?ortland Police bill
bo amended so a4 to place tho Mayor
of the city at tho-head of that depart
ment. He suggests that the litigant
law be repealed, ;and states tho rca-
son for his vetoing tho bill for its
repeal two yeal ago. Tho acts of
the Board of s(yool Land Commis
sioners are given in detail. He sug
gests that an sh " mimission be auth
orized to examine whether or no a
fish-way oould bv constructed at the
falls for the ascension of salmon to
the upper Willamette. He calls the
attention of the-iLegislature to the
importance of ertain and regular
pilotage at the mouth of the Colum
bia. Tho Jnjustibe done Clatsap Co.
in the last apportionment act is
brought to the J Itice of the House.
The condition Srid management of
the Penitentiary is referred to in a
short and comprehensive manner.
In speaking of tl 3 Insane Asylum he
says: "In making new engagements
it will hardly be necessary to suggest
that a spirit of eiilightened hurrfanity
should assist in Ahe disposal of the
subjeot." Ho losents the Indian
disturbance inAlie Modoc country
and urges that measures be taken to
secuse the payment of our indebted
ness incurred on this account. He
states the cost of the capital building
including convict labor, to be $110,
802 .CO, and recommends that suffi
cient bo appropriated to carry th&
walls to an even hight and that they
be Becurely covered to protect them
this winter. It is urged that the
Legislature appropriate sufficient
funds for the maintenance of the
Agricultural College. He recom
mends that farther time be granted
to the citizens of Eageno to complete
the erection of the State University,
and his message states that Hon. H.
H. Gilfrey, who has been charged
with receiving certain sums of money
oat of the appropriation to support
the deaf mutes and the blind, had
made all the purchases for the insti
tution and given much of his time
free of charge. The Governor says
that the fiscal management of all the
departments have been good, and
the public work has been faithfully
performed and in nearly every case
the expenses have been kept within
the appropriations. No public mon
eys have been used unless previously
appropriated and no defaults or neg
ligent use of the pnblio . money, to
the value of one dollar, by any pub
lic officer or employe of the State,
during tho past four years. He shows
that the power of retrenchment lies
with the Legislature and that no
money can bo used without first be
ing appropriated by that body, and
promises to co-operate with them in
its efforts of reform in this direction.
A registration law is recommended
and that an act be passed to prohibit
publio officials from receiving free
passes on railroads. It is also rec
ommended that the railroad tariffs
be regulated by law, and says the
sentiment expressed is not that of
hostility to railroads, but one of jus
tice, protection and encouragement
to the varied interests of the people
and tho commerce of tho State. He
urges tho passage of a memorial to
Congress to improve our rivers, and
that efforts should be made to caruse
Congress to place Oregon on tho
Mine footing with other States by
eonneoting us with railroad to other
sections of the Union The Govern
or estimates our yearly exports at
tsa millions.
. The message, though larger than
any similar document ever before
issued from tho Executive office in
this State, is full of useful informa
tion and will well repay a careful
C reading. It is in every sense a State
paper, and may bo regarded above
adverse criticism, as the opponents
of the Executive have not been able
to find a single fault in the docu
ment. Shocxd bb. A bill has been in
troduced to abolish the office of
State Geologist. This we regard as
a move in the right direction, as we
Lava htm nnrl to aaa what traod
this official has done the State be
side drawing his salary, if that can
be considered a good deed. .

The Iatittt Act.
The first act introduced in the
Senate waa the act to repeal the liti
gant law. .This bill was introduced
by Senator Iolph, and we learn that
he ia President and part owner of a
newspaper in Portland, and of course
has no personal interests in the mat
ter. But we are glad tho bill is to
be repealed, and then we hope those
who have not been so fortunate as to
get an occasional take of this kind
will be satisfied... But we would call
the attention of the Legislature to
some important facts in regard to
this matter, and having had consid
erable experience in the business,
we know whereof we speak, and as
the object of" the Legislature gener
ally is to benefit this people, we pro
pose to show them that an uncondi
tional repeal of the bill will be
dangerous to the litigants who are
required to advertise legal notices.
If the . bill introduced by Senator
Dolph passes, the legal advertising
can be done in any paper in the
county, or if none In the county, by
tho next nearest paper the litigant
may desire. The Attorneys, Sheriffs
and County Court3 have tho giving
away of all the legal advertising
(with few exceptrons where the liti
gants attend to their own cases).
"We have never known one of either
party to patronize tho opposite pa
pers, and wo have never beon asked
the prico for such advertisements.
Tho publishers generally regard it
as partisan patronage, and they ex
pect their own publishers to patron
ize them, and further, newspaper
men generally are not so rich that
they do this class of advertising for
tht benefit of litigants only, but have
an eye to their own interests, and
charge what they regard as reasona
ble and just. In many counties in
this State tho patronage of the Sher
iff is more than one-half of all the
legal advertising in the county. He
gives hi3 patronage to the paper
which aided in his election, and as
he is not to pay for it out of his
pocket, he does not particularly care
what the price is. The offices of
Sheriff and Clerk are now, and always
have been, the bane of contention,
and you give them this power, and
they can, if publishers are controlla
ble, keep their county organ in their
own interests. This is one thing
which should be guarded against.
The next is, that the rates should bo
fixed which should be paid. This
cannot be done unless the Legisla
ture make a contract and award a
franchise, for no one will enter into
an agreement unless there is some
thing to be gained. While the main
objection to the litigant law has been
to the appointing power, and not the
price, we would suggest, that tho
bill bo so changed that the County
Commissioners of a county, or the
Circuit Judge of a District, might
be authorized to designate an official
orgau of his district, or their county
upon receiving bids; or stipulate the
price and let the County Judges or
Circuit Judges appoint. We believe
this would meet the interests of the
people, and whether it meets the
pecuniary interests of newspapers or
not, we are not particular. We have
published papers before the litigant
act was passed, and can do so after it
is repealed, though we never shall
again get tho proceeds of a legal no
tice. But the door for extravagant
and high charges by partisan organs
should not be thrown open, and as
the bill is to be repealed, we hope
that one will take its place that will
meet the requirements of the people
and protect them against extortion.
There are several counties in the
State where there is but one paper
published, and they will have the
litigants at their mercy when the bill
is repealed. None of them are too
rich or prosperous, and they will
take the advantage of the repeal of
this law to add to their annual income
by an increase in their prices for ad
vertising. This article is not written
in any spirit for the continuation in
force of the litigant act. But for
the protection of litigants, we can
live without it, and should our oppo
nents feel as though they wanted to
support an organ on the legal adver
tising in this county, we are willing
to let them try it, and when we can
not make a living without the aid of
such a law at publishing a newspa
per, we are ready to give it up and
go to setting type for some one that
oan. The present law has not made
us so rich and proud that we are
above setting type for a living, we
can assure those who are so clamor
ous for the repeal of this aot.

The State Treasurer's Salary.
A bill has been introduced in the
Senate to repeal the act passed by
the Legislature of 1870, providing
for an assistant Treasurer, and the
payment of his salary The bill of
1870 undoubtedly made the compen
sation of the State Treasurer ioo
high, but an entire repeal of the
compensation will reduce the salary
equally too low. By the repeal of
this bill, tho salary will be brought
down to the insignificant sum of $800
per annum. No man that is respon
sible can afford to accept the posi
tion for any such a sum, and we ap
prehend that no man of sense would
expect the State Treasurer to be hon
est in the discharge of his duties
with such a salary. The business of
this office has grettly increased, andj
certainly is increasing, and we learn
that one man cannot attend to the
duties. How can our law-makers ex
pect tho State Treasurer to employ
an assistant on such a salary? It is
simply rediculous, and the attempt
to put his salary at 800 shows that
the Legislature is determined to
punish the State Treasurer on politi
cal, and not on economical grounds.
This we should think ought to bo
below the dignity of Representatives
of the people. They should act just
ly between the people and tho ser
vants they have elected, and not ask
of them to rierform duties and as
sumo responsibilities without fair
and just compensation for the same.
The old fees allowed, in our judg
ment, were too high, but to take
them all away, makes them too low.
The people have asked for retrench
ment and reform, but they have not
asked that the public officers shall
serve them honestly and faithfully
for no compensation. The State
Treasurer has heavy responsibilities,
and he is placed under bonds of
$300,000 to perform his duties.
Where can a merchantile firm employ
a first-class accountant for $800?
That is not the salary of a common
laborer hardly, who has no responsi
bility. ' Let the legislature act hon
estly and fairly in these matters, and
not look at them in a portisan and
vindictive sririt. A fair reduction
in the fees of the Treasurer ought to
be made, but to put a man on a sala
ry that will make it necessary for
him to resign or steal, is certainly
bad economy, and we trust that the
Legislature will yet consider this
matter in a sensible and rersonable
light. The present fees allowed are
one-half of one per cent, on all mon
eys received and riaicl out. This
gives him a salary, so we learn, of
about $4,000 per annum, in addition
to the $800. This is too much, and
a reduction of ono-half of tho per
cent, would in our judgment, be
nothing more than a fair compensa
tion for the services required. This
would give the State Treasurer a sal
ary of about $2,800 per annum, and
paying his assistant out of this sum,
would not leave him more than about
$1,200 per annum, as it is impossible
for him to secure tho services of a
competent and reliable man for less
than $1,800 per annum, and no man
wants to take tho responsibilities of
the care of the State funds and risk
books and accounts in tho hands of
a man not known to be responsible
and competent. The idea of paying
low salaries is not always the best
economy, and we believe the people
are willing to pay their officers a
living and fair salary, and this strike
of Senator Dolph is certainlv a move
towards punishing a political oppo
nent, and not done in any spirit of
fairness and justice. We hope that
the Legislature will provide a rea
sonable salary, and the people will
not only expect them to do this, but
justice between man and man re
quires it.

Is It a Job t
We notico that a bill has been in
troduced in the Lower House by Mr.
Maya of Wasco county, which pro
vides for the issuing of new warrants
in place of those already issued for
tho construction of the Sandy and
Dalles road. Mr. Hnmason and oth
ers have already taken contracts or
the basis of these depreciated war
rants and if he and those interested
can manage to get this bill passed,
the warrants would be worth their
par value. It looks to us as though
there is a nice little job attempted
by the speculators in the warrants.
Let tho former bill be amended so
as to apply on fnture warrants, and
we have no objections to its passage.
Bat we think it but little better than
robbery for persons who took con
tracts at the depreciated value of
these warrants and now ask the State
to bring them up to par for their
benefit. We have not seen the bill,
and therefore cannot speak advisedly
as to its merits, but if it applies to
warrants already issued, and work
which has been performed, we un
hesitatingly pronounce the bill a
huge job and swindle on our State
Treasury.
Hcmbuo Economy. Some one has
introduced a bill in the Legislature
to reduce the salary of the Govern
or's Private Secretary to $600 per
: year. This may be right and eco
: nomical. but to men of sense it looks
more ridiculous than otherwise, and
, is simply bosh. "
He that can plea.se nobody is not
, so much to be pitied as he that no-
body can pl-ase.

Editorial Correspondence.
Salem, Sept. 23, 1874.
The Legislature has fairly organ
ized and is now in running order.
The bills are being introduced in
large numbers, and in many cases
four or five to accomplish tho same
object. The cry of '.'retrenchment
and reform" seems to have taken
possession of a majority of the mem
bers, and unless I am greatly mista
ken in the temperament of both
honses, they will overdo. the thing
before they get through, or they will
not do anything. There is such a
thing as retrenchment, and there is
such a thing as becoming redicn
lous. The first bill which has passed
the Senate is the repeal of the liti
gant act. As all parties were pledged
to the repeal of this bill, it wa3 ex
pected that the bill would be repeal
ed. The next bill passed was a bill
repealing the office of AssistantTreas
urer. In this measnse I consider
the Senate has rather overdone the
"economical," and if I am not mista
ken they will find that an officer
placed under $300,000 bonds can
hardly afford to attend to the peo
ple's business and pay nn assistant
$1,500 to $1,800 per year. While
the former salary was too large, the
present salary is equally too low,
and is only passed to gratify the
spite of political opponents. This is
not legislation which would do tho
people any good, and the tax-payers
expect to pay their officers a legiti
mate and reasonable salary. These
two are the only bills thus far passed
in the Senate. There was a lively
discussion in the Senate on the re
peal of the act granting compensation
to Supreme Judges for traveling ex
penses, and the vote to indefinitely
postpone the further consideration
stood 13 for and 11 against. This
was regarded a test vote, and three
members were absent, two being un
derstood to be against the repeal of
the bill and one for. I am under the
opinion that it would be nnjudicious
to repeal this bill. Three thousand
dollars is not too much for such tal
ent as we require on the Supreme
bench, and if we expect to get good
and honest Judges, wo must pay
them a reasonable compensation.
There is not a man on the bench to
day who could not resign and go into
practice and make that sum. I am
for retrenchment but I consider mis
erly salaries more injurious than
beneficial, and the result will fully
show this fact.
The law-niakers have also started
after the Clerical aid of the Secretary
of State and the Governor's private
Secretary. I know nothing of the
wants of the first-named, but when
our State has become so poor as not to
be able to pay the Private Secretary,
of the Governor, $1,200 per annum,
it is time to close up the State offices
and retain our territorial condition.
This idea of a good State going back,
in my opinion, is not only short
sighted, but will result very injuri
ous to our future prosperity.

Influence ot Example.
Several State Conventions, says
the San Francisco Examiner, have
been held 'during the present month
to make nominations for officers to
be elected at the general elections
which will take place in thirty-four
States prior to the" middle of next
November. In the Democratic Con
ventions the recently mooted propo
sition of a departure from the exam-
pie set by the Fathers of the Repub
lic, in reference to . the Presidential i
office, was denounced as full of peril
to tho continuance of republican in
stitutions. Fortunately , the . Demo-.-
cratic Conventions were held before
those of the Radical party convened,
and their resolutoins have had the
effect of obliging their adversaries
to pursue a course similar to theirs.
In no State Convention which has
thus far assembled could the Radi
cals obtain the endorsement of an
idea which many of their members
secretly cherish, that Grant should
be re-nominated. Even the sugges
tion of his again being a candidate
under any posible contingency was,
in one instance, voted down.
The proposition was disposed of
in the most summary manner in the
Pennsylvania Convention, among
whose members were many of the
President's officeholders, and the
leading politicans of the State from
Simon Cameron down to the lesser
agents of political corruption. The
result of the attempt in that State is
one of the most hopeful signs of the
times. The effort to give an indi
rect indorsement to a political crime
could not get a score of supporters
in a Convention of several hundred
members. That fact proves that
notwithstanding tho working of
many influences to sap the reverence
entertained for the principles on
which our Government was founded,
the example of Washington, Jeffer
son, Madison, Monroe and Jackson
has vet the veneration of the masses
of the American people. The course
of the Radical Convention of Penn
sylvania will probably be followed
by Radical Conventions in other
States except, perhaps, in the few
where carpet-bag influence predomi
nates. Iu compelling Radicalism in
its greatest stronghold to adopt
Democratic doctrine in reference to
the tenure of the Presidential office,
the Democracy lias gained one of its
greatest triumphs. It has achieved
a moral victorv, the grandeur of
which requires reflection to fully
realize it, and it demands some refer
ence to the last Presidential cam
paign. In that contest Horace
Greeley, the life-long champion of
protection, the advocate of high
duties for the beniiit of Penns-1 vania
manufacturers, was beaten by Grant
by the prodigious- majority of one
hundred and thirty-rivo thousand
five hundred and forty-eight votes.
Never in a Presidential contest had
there been seen such a one-sidod
vote. In fact it was over fifty thous
and more than the majorities given
in all the States which crave their
electoral votes to Horace Greeley.
Tho public mind was somewhat
alarmed a few months ago that a
contingency micrht arise iu which a
third term for Grant mi,ht become
a posibilitv. A war with Spain, a
war with Mexico, or a war of races
in the South might be made the pre
text for his re-nomination. It was
thought necessary by I all conserva
tive citizens that a constitutional
provision should bo adopted to pre
vent an'- one holding the high office
of Chief Magistrate for a third term:
but several Conventions have spo
ken, and the Radical bodies adopt
ing Democratic doctrine have de
nounced any action looking to tho
accomplishment of that end.. Public
opinion is thoroughly aroused on
this issue, arid before another Presi
dential term expires the unwritten
law of ti e country, established by
the example of the venerated fathers,
will be given form and substance in
the shape of a Constitutinnal Amend
ment that, in tho future, will efFec
tuallv prevent the scheming of anv
can id ate for a third term by open or
covert action.

Cuksed Foreveb. Radicalism
gave anarchy to the South; radical
ism must take it away, or cursed
forever will be the name of, radical
ism. The Chicago Times thinks
that perhaps even that tardy work of
justice will not save it from an occa
sional damn or two in the mouths of
prosperity.
Not Satisfied. TheP.aoil"
organs do not appear to be satisfi!f
with tho action of the independent
members of the Legislature. Th
is nothing strange. Nobody expec?
ed that they would be unless th "
had . united with the Radicals and
divided the offices with them, or act
ed worse, defeated the organization
of the two houses for such length of
time as to disgust the people with
them. The Ring members were more
than willing to unite with either the
Democratic or "the Independents to
secure tho organization of the Senate
and even went so far -as to offer all
the offices if either of these opposing
parties would only give them the
Chief Clerk t of the Senate.2 .There
was no lack of opportunity to com
bine with the Ring,- but they found
none that would betray their trusts
In tho orgonization of the House
these faultfinders certainly ought to
bo satisfied. The Independents pnt
in office just as many Riag men a
they did Democrats, and this ia'all
they should have exjected. Proba
bly they ought , to have given tbe
Ring the speaker. This might have
satisfied them. We thust pur Radi
cal friends will get over their disap

The Cant of Importers.
It is so obvious that physical and consti
tutional vigor is the best defense against
disease, that even the venders of drastic
purgatives advertise them as tonics, stom
achics and luvigorants, in the hope of en
listing the confidence of the public in tho
devitalizing and pernicious potions. It li
amusing to note ho these im posters imi
tate and copy the language in which the
medicinal properties of Ilostetter's Stom
ach Hitters an? described. Although tu
effect of their rasping evacuants to destroy
the tone of the digestive organs andth
bowels, and to rob the systm of its vlui
strength, they are unscrupulously recom
mended to the weak and prostrate victims
of disease as stimulants! It is time th:t
humbug(not a very successful one it istruo,
t hanks to the mature common sense of th
American people) was st igmatizi-d as it
des-Tves. ssuch mischievious talschoodi
should be exposed ro bono publico. Hi
tetter's Stomach hitters, be it distinctly
understood, is a stimulant. It ha a spirit
uous basis, and that basis is the vehicle
which diffuses its wonderful sanitary prin
ciples t hrough every part of the sywem.
The tonic, alterative and regulating it.gr-
dieiits ot the hitters would be comparative
ly inert if they were not,sotospeak,carrit-d
to the localities where they are requip-dl-y
the stimulating agent. The cant which
protests airainst the use of a pur-:- alcoholic
lluid, when employed as a means of giving
full effect to the medicinal extr.-iets .f th
highr-st utility, is the cant of charlatanism.
Kvery intelligent physician so i-haractrnz-es

eu and debilitated by t heonauseous nnu
disgusting nostrums of the parties vhorwit
it lolth, soon find to their sorrow 1 1: M il is
