Narrow Policy.
j The Legislature appropriated the
j sum of $25,000 per "annum for the
ensuing two years for the keeping of ; have not a copy oi mo jaw, u
the convicts, and provided that no ; can only speak of it from informa
f urtber indebtedness shall be incurr- I tion. The bill passed cuts down the
ed. This sum is not sufficient to ; fees on an average of about forty per
allow the Superintendent to work ' cent from the bill enacted in 1.2 and
; the prisoners to any advantage, as j
; he cannot afford to employ the nec- !
essary guards. In consequence of : to pay the county officers, tne lormti
this narrow policy, ha has locked j foes must have given them exorbit
up the prisoners until such time as j ant fees. But we hear considerable
they can be leased out as provided j complaint in regard to the reduction
by law, and then tho parties leasing I in some of the counties. Insuch
them will have to be responsible for j counties as Linn, Marion and Mult
their keeping, i nomah, the present feo bill is proba-
There are at present, wo believe, ;
120 convicts in the penitentiary.
This girea to eeh convict for board
and olothing th mm of $200 pr
annum, or i3 80 per week for thir
board. No nin can claim that this
Bum of money will mora than keep
them in board and clothing. Here
,,f,ivo th prisoners were made to
CiW.W . x
! work, and the report of tho Snper
; intendent shows that while they cost
j nearly STS.OUO the past two years,
there was an off-set to ibis expen.u-
. - ,v. , vfor,od by the con-
L Ui U X ' i wiu X
viets in making unci-.,
t .1. :
on
the penitentiary and on the Capitol.
Had the bill provided that the Su
perintendent could use nny portion
of the funds the convicts might earn,
then ho might probably get along
with this meagre- appropriation, but
as it is, the only thing ho can do is
to close them up and discharge the
guards around the premise.
Tho Superintendent notified tho
Legislature that if lie was allowed
to lease the convicts and appropriate
their earnings to tho support of the
institution, that ho could make it
nearly self-sustaining. There arc
not enough brick on hand now to
finish tho Capitol building. The
appropriation will not allow the Su
perintendent to buy wood, sand
and other material to make brick
with, and if the Commissioners want
more brick or use the convict labor,
thov will nave to employ guards and
bny their materials out of the Capi
tol appropriation fund. "While the
enemies of Mr. 'Watkinds have suc
ceeded in crippling his heretofore
efficient administration of that insti
tution, they will find that they have
at the same time crippled the revenue
of that establishment, and that the
prisoners will not have near as good
treatment as they have heretofore.
"We look upon this as a matter of
criminality. There is no justice in
locking up so much labor that might
have been beneficial to our State,
and certainly would have been ranch
better for the convicts. Punishment
is not inllicled upon criminals for
the sake of punishment, but to pro-'j
j cruelty, and is unbecoming civaizct
society. We are confident that the I
people will be the loser by this vin-
dietivcuess of Messrs. ilirseh, Dolph !
and other enemies of the Supcrin- i
ten-lent, and they will have to be re- !
sponsible for their conduct in this ;
matter.

I The last Legislature tossed a new
fee bill which is now a law. e
about lo less than the one pueu n
1S70. If the fees are now sufficient
biy mgn enougu, out ior our .luy
and others of -similar size, we appre
hend that retrenchment wa rather
too great. Ia our opinion, it i al
most impossible to pass a general
fee bill that would have been just to
all the counties, and hence are of the
opinion that a salary fixed by law for
the different counties would have
been mure just. Bat ihij could not
be done. Tha lawyers in the Legis
lature argued that low fees would
increase the business of all the Clerks
and Sheriffs, and at tho same time it
would increase their own business.
The attorneys in the Legislature were
the greatest "retrenehers" on this
subject, and wo presume, they have a
correct idea as to what the offices arw
worth. Take ths present fee bill and
tlie old one, and there i.i a great sav
ing to the people, far greater than
any other measwie parsed by that
body. It will be: a direct saving to
this county of at least 32,f!K) per
year, while it will be fully that much
to the litigants. This is a .snug little
sum and supposing that it will oper
ate in the same rntio in all the coun
ties effected by tlie bill, it will be a
gain to the people and tax payers of
at least ?? 50,000 per year. "We trust
that the test of this bill will show
the wisdom of the Legislature, and
that there will be no further necessi
ty to meddle -with this question in
tho futuro.
The Jo,t nil!
At a very late hour of the session,
a bill relating to the general inc-or-poration
act passed by th- Leg
islatnre. The bill is regarded as of
general importance io th two rail
road eornpanifs, and i los is to be
regretted. The bill was reported
back to the Senate as correctly en
rolled at 20 minute to the tim of
adjournment by the Senate clock,
and was immediately transmitted to
the Lower nous? for the signature
of the Speaker, which was announced
as affixed at twenty minutes to 2
o'clock by tho Tlour-e time, and 10
mirr.drs to 2 bv the Senate time.
The bill
was immediately returned
aid ; not sign it, and tlie bill was
lost for want of his signature. Aft
er
thi:i biil bcon rctnrned to the
Senate, llcpr-esentative Heed, of Ma-
rion, got the iqeaker's signature to
the bill to -prohibit public executions,
an;i this bill the President of the
t Senate had ample time to sign. T
j II. Cornelius -vras tho President o
the Senate, and his high-handed as
sumition in tlius defeating the will
of tho two houses cannot be regarded
e?ilr m nn onfraco. Tfe .idionrnrd
the Senate before - the House wm de
clared adjourned at l?at ten minutes
and the friends of this important bill
tlifta th .t h did so in order to
siding officer.

On tha eve of tlie session, a bill
was sougni to ue imrouuceu nv .tir.

i iw-e rn t ,
eb ration m lNt. Tliis was certaml v
lin important measure to Oregon,
and had the bill passed, would have
paid ten-fold on the cost of tlie en
terprise. No better place could have
been selected to advertise Oregon
and her products, and wo much
regret that the bill was not passed.
Mr. Dufur deserves great credit for
his energy in trying to get the bill
before the House, but, of course,
there are always persons ready to
object even before they know what
the import of the law is. The duty
to properly display Oregon products
will devolve upon the Commission
ers, and knowing the energy of Mr.
Dufur, Sr., we feel confident that he
will do the very best he can under
the circumstances.

When Mr. Cochran was called
home, says the Eugene Guard, it be
came necessary to elect a President
of the Senate and the candidates were
Tom Cornelius, Ilolladay Republi
can, and Mr. Van Cleave, Independ
ent. When the vote was taken three
Independents voted for Cornelius
and he was elected. Had they voted
for their par ty man thev would have
elected him, would have had abettor
officer, and above all, would have
sustained a principle.
The Jacksonville Sentinel pitches
into the Jackson county delegation
in the Legislature for voting against
the bill by which the salaries of the
Judges was to be reduced. Had
that bill become a law, none of the
present incumbents of the Bench
would have desired re-election; and
that would have left the field open
to just such inferior lawyers and
mercenary schemers as the editor of
the Sentinel. Their kind of judges
would be dear at any price. Coos

ELECTION KETUKXS.
Nf.w Okleans. Nov. 2. The indi
cations are that the citv goes Con
servative by from 12,000 to 13,000;
The conservatives claim 13,000. It
is generally believed that Gibson,
(Conservative) has defeated Sypher,
(Rep.) for Congress in the first dis
trict. The Conservatives claim the
election of Ellis in tlie second district
though the race will be very close.
The Democrats claim the State bv
from 3,000 to 5.000. lhe Republi
cans estimate their majority at 10,000
or less. The vote for Congressman
in the third, fourth, fifth and sixth,
districts will be very close, from
present indications. 'Gov. Kellogg
thinks the Republicans carry the
State by u good majority, and that
they elect probably five, and possibly
six, Congressmen Gov. McEncry
thinks the Conservatives carry the
State by a small majority, and elect
three Congressmen.
MiDjtioux. There are no returns
of the city vote, but it is thought
that the Conservatives have probably
15,000 majority. Reports from the
parishes are meagre, but show a Con

Conservatives claim four Congress
men, but tho Republicans do not ad
mit the loss of but one. No disturb
ance is reported from any quarter.

Congressional districts, both Conser
vative, each go out of tho city with
over 0,000 majority. Their election
is regarded as certain by the Conser
vatives. The latter also claim t o
election of Levy in the fourth, Spen
cer in tlie fifth, and Mooro in the
sixth Congressional districts, conced
ing the election of D.irrell in the
third distiict. The Conservative
State Central Committee regard the
election of Moncure, State Treasurer,
as certain. Seven heard from (in
chiding Orleans), give Moncure over
lt,000 majority. The Conservatives
claim 10 of tha 18 State Senators,
and at least 00 members of the House.
They elect 23 Representatives in the
city.

Committee claims six Congressmen
and ten to twenty majority in the
Legislature.

claim his election by a good majority.
DEMOCRATIC GAINS.

Nashville, Nov. 3. The State
has gone Democratic by from 25.000
to 30.000 majority. All the Congres
sional delegation is Democratic ex
cept the First and Second Districts,
which are doubtful. Both houses of
tlie Legislature are largely Demo
cratic. TEXAS.

five Congressmen and the State
Treasurer. The Democrats now
claims the election of 08 members of
the Legislature, 55 being a majority.
KENTUCKY.
Lkxinoton, Nov. 3. The Demo
cratic Congressional vote shows 211
gain.
Louisville, Nov. 3. Returns
come in slowly from the State, but
dispatches to the Courier-Journal
show Democratic gains all through

electing all ten Congressmen.
VERMONT.
Rutlvnd, Nov. 3. Denison is
elected to Congress over Poland by
a largo majority.
V1ROINIA.
EiciiMONi), Nov. 3. Returns indi

Hunter in the Eighth and Terry in
Ninth all (Conservatives) to Con
gress. Sener (Rep.) in the First,
Stowell (Rep.) in the Fourth, Thom
as (Rep.) in the Fifth are all prob
ably re-elected. The Second Dis
trict is doubtful, with chances in
favor of Good (Conservative).
MISSOURI.
Sr. Louis, Nov, 3. Not a precinct
in the city and county has returned
full vote.' Returns fro in the State
are very meagre, and do not indicate
any result. The Democrats, howev
er, claim all the Congressional Dis
tricts except the Sixth and Tenth,
but the Republicans concede to them
but four.
MINNI.SOTA.
Sr. Paul, Nov. 4. A few addition
al returns have been received. D1111
nell (Rep.) is undoubtedly elected
to Congress in the first district. It
now looks as if Cox (Dem.) was
elected in the second district, and in
the third district the chances are in
favor of Wilson (Dem.) Tlie con
test on tho State ticket for Supseme
Court Judges will be closer than was
thought last night. Tho Legislature
is doubtful .

is elected to Congress in the iir-i
district, by 3,000 majority.
ILLINOIS.
Chicago, Nov. 3. Returns from
the city of Chicago and Cook county

known to secure the election of the
Opposition county ticket by a major
ity, probably, of 5,000; l,ut the Re

is conceded on all sides, with a prob
able majority of from 5,000 to 8,000.
Frost's election in the Fourth Dis
trict is claimed, but it will bo very
close. Butler is badly beaten, Thompson
having a majority- of 1,051 with only
a small town to hear from. Banks
made a clean sweep of the Fiftli Dis
trict, Gooch not carrying a single
town except his own. "Williams and
Alexander are also defeated by small
majorities. Aver is defeated in the
Seventh District. Some small towns
are yet unheard from, but it is con
considered that they cannot possibly
afi'ect Gaston's majority, which wiil
be at least 3,000.
Retrenchment. The Legislature
"Retrenched" with a vengeance when
they reduced the salary- of tho State
Treasurer to 600 per annum not
even the salary commanded by a sec
ond rate Clerk. No man of ordinary
business capacity would qualify for
the office for such a paltry sum.
