JHE ENTERPRISE
OREGbV CITY", (JKEliOV, DEC. 1,
ThP U, S. Senate
In the organization of the next XT.
8. Senate there will be 20 new mcn
has. Of those going' out on the Itlr
of next March, there are seven Dem
ocrats, three Independents- ami six
teen Radicals- The Democrats carry
all the States where members of their
party go out, with the exception of
California, and in that State Gov.
Booth, Independent, has already been
elected. It is understood that Gov.
Booth will act with the Democracy
in that body, so the Senate will be
oven, nti far as the outgoing Demo
crats are concerned. In the present
Senate the Democrats Lave twenty
members, and they will gain as fol
lows: Connecticut, Florida, Indi
ana, Missouri, 5cvr York, Pennsyl
vania, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia
and West Virginia, making a gain of
ten Senators. Gov. Bootli will be
the only Independent in the Senate,
as all those put down as such, go out
next March. ; Adding Gov. Booth to
the Democratic column, and we gain
eleven. This gives the Democrats 31
Senators beyond a question. There
is a vacancy from Louisiana, which
will 13 tilled by the Legislature
which is Democratic, and in Minne
sota and Michigan the Democrats
claim the Legislature. If we elect
in all theso States, we have thirty -four
Senators against 40 Radicals.
In 1877 iifteen Radicals and nine
Democrats will go out. These Dem
ocrats are from States which will un
questionably return either the pres
ent Senators or Democratic succes
sors. They ave from Alabama, Del
aware, Louisiana, North Carolina,
Kentucky, Oregon, Tennessee, Vir-
ginia, and "Yes;t V
There is
hardly n possibility of tho Radicals
gaining a singles Senator from these
States. Tho seats filled bv Radicals,
wliicli will become vacant on the 1th
of March 1S77, are: Arkansas, Illin
ois, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Massachu
setts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missis
sippi, Nebraska, New Nampshire
New Jersey, Rhode Island, South
Carolina and Texas. The recent
elections woull indicate beyond a
doubt that thcADcmocrats will gaiu
Senators out i the above named
States as fol.LAs: Arkansas, New
Jersey, Texas, New Hampshire and
Illinois, making five to be added to
the Democratic jolumn, certain, giv
ing the Democrats 39 against the
Radicals' 35. Now g if we take t'.;e
two from Miuipsota and Michigan
from the I)eiAcratie column, we
r have tho Senate' a tie. But from the
fact that a great revolution is going
on in politics, it is safe to calculate
that the Democracy will make great
er inroads on thd Radical States than
wo claim in th above count, and
ctherc can bo hardly any question
but w hat the Democracy will have a
clear majority in tha Senate when
the Democratic president shall take
his seat on tho 4.ti of March, 1S77.

Thc I'orlj-l'nirt!i Congress.
Below we give a correct list of the
forty -four tli Congress from all the
States which have thus far had their
elections. Tho 'States yet to elect
are California, 4; Connecticut, 4;
Mississippi, G; and Xew Hampshire,
3, seventeen in all. Of these, ihe
Radicals have-in the present Con
gress thirteen and the Democrats
four. It is safe to calculate that in
the next Congress the Democrats
will get two from California, two
from Connecticut, four from Missis
sippi, and two from New Hampshire,
making ten out of the seventeen.
That would give the Democracy 1S5
against the Radicals 107, or a clear
majority of 7G. This is equal to the
present majority of tho Radicals and
shows a most remarkable change in
the national halls of legislation. The
term of the forty-fourth Congress
commences on the 5th of next March.

it will not meet until the first Mon

An immense mass' nice ting was
held on the 8th tilt., at Selma, Ala
bama. The following resolutions,
introduced by Wm. Brooks, one of
the most prominent Democrats in
Alabama and President of the Seces
sion Convention in 18G0, were unani
mously adopted :
Rusolred, That tho people of Ala
bama, rejoicing at the restoration of
the fraternal feeling between the
States of the American Union, are
manifested in the recent elections,
and assured that the second century
of our national existence will be an era
of unparalleled progress, harmony,
and unity in tho work of achieving
the grand destiny of tho American
people, send their happy greetings
to their sister States, and unite with
them in rendering to Almighty God
thanks for the signal redemption of
Alabama and the entire country from
misrule and corruption.
llesolred, That wo embrace the
present moment of triumph as the
appropriate occasion to renew to the
country the pledges contained in our
Democratic and Conservative plat
form, and especially that the rights
of all classes of men must be respect
ed and preserved inviolate.
It was the grandest political dem
onstration which has ever taken
place in Selma. The city was illu
minated and a torchlight procession
nearly a mile in length passed
through the streets. Guns were
fired, and tho utmost enthusiasm
prevailed. Distinguished speakers
addressed crowds of people.
Almost too Goon. Says the San
Francisco Examiner : It would be a
very wholesomo event if Jeremiah S.
Black should bo elected to the Son
ate of tho United States from Penn
sylvania. His appearanco in the
Senate, the New York Sun thinks,
would be like bringing back the days
of its greatness when thero were
giants there. In intellectual ability,
moral courage, fidelity to his convic
tions, and weight and steadiness of
character, Judge Black is one of the
very first men in the nation; and
there is no other who is so much
feared and so justly hated by the
Pennsylvania "ring" of which Bill
Kemble. Bob Mackev. Bill Mann.
and Simon Cameron are the special
ornaments. The election of Judge
Black to the Senate is something al
most too good to be hoped for.
Very Possibly. Tho Sua says
very possibly one reason why Gen.
UraDt cannot learn anything is be
cause ho has so much bourbon in
his veins. When Martin Van Buren
retirod from the oftleo of President
of the United States he went to Kin
derhook and engaged in raising cab
bages. It is conjectured that Gen.
Grant, when he withdraws to the
shades of privato life in tho vicinity
of St. Louis, will find his principal
diversion in the cultivation of old
rve.
Annivejisaky. The many friends
of Mr. and Mrs. Beriah Brown, of
Seattle, well known ia our State,
gave them a handsome surprise at
their residence on the occasion of the
anniversary of tho twenty-fifth year
of their wedding. "Wo trust that
they may live to enjoy many more
anniversaries, and that their future
years may be pleasant and full of
happiness.
' Tf.iuuislf- Storm. A dispatch
under date of tho 2Sth ult., froru
Tuscurabia, Ala., says that a terrible
tornado has just swept over the State
j leaving a path of complete ruin and
desolation in its wake. This town
suffered tr a fearful extent. Houses
were blown down, trees torn up by
the roots, and timbers sent flying
through the air in every direction.
The noise made by the wind was
deafening, and the whole jieople
completely panic stricken. Over
sixty people were killed, and as
many more wounded. The tornado
left a large number homeless, and
deprived many of tho means of sup
port. At last accounts provisions
were giving out, and it is estimated
there are at least 400 people in des
titute circumstances. This town
alone is damaged to the amount of
half a million dollars. Reports from
the surrounding country only aggra
vate the stories of distress and suffer
ing. The ruins of the residence of
State Senator Moore were removed
after the storm and Mrs. Moore
found on a bed, with two heavy tim
bers lying across her body. Two
children were found crushed out of
shape and dead. John Hodgkins
was blown out of a second story
window. His house was blown
down, burying his brother's family.
On removing the ruins Hodgkins'
wife and four children were found,
all crushed to death. The house of
Mrs. Winslow was blown down. She
was found killed by a heavy ward
robe. The loss of life by the torna
do will not be less than sixty; fully
as many wounded.
The next time you see Watkinds
ask him where he resides; and if he
don't tell you he is living out at the
penitentiary, family and all, with
these same curtains, boarding and
lodging at the expense of "us tax
payers," Noltner, then we give it up.

"We need not wait to see "Watkinds,
as we Jciiotr that his family docs not
reside " out at the penitentiary," but
on the contrary, live in a very nice
house in town, nextdoorto Coulter's
brick. Tho next time, Mr. Bulletin,
you go to Salem ascertain the fact
from "Watkinds as to whore his fami
Iv residence is.
Good for Minnesota. Latest re
turns from Minnesota indicate that
the Democracy have carried the
State, electing a majority of tho
Legislature, two, out of three Con
gressmen, and insuring the defeat of
Rani soy for the United States Senate
Ramsey is the chairman of the Postal
Committee and author of the bill for
a postal telegraph, which would,
probably increase the annual defi
ciencies of that department by some
millions, at the expense of millions
of people who could not use tho tel
egraph. Tho Oregon City Enterprise, pub
lished by our old friend Noltner, has
entered upon its ninth volume and
presents a more tone-y appearance
than ever. It would bo a difficult
matter to make a paper pay within
thirteen miles of Portland, to any
body but an old wheel horse like
Toney, but ho makes it pay by giving
plenty of local news. This" insures
him plenty of support from political
foes as well as personal friends. Men
take country papers for their local
news, chiefly; and the publisher
who gives tho most matter of home
interest, will be apt to make the most
money. Coo. But Xcics.
A CotAjWhei) Party. The quad

" Leaf by leaf tho roses fall."
IIas Lost Its Grip Somewhat.
Grant's homo organ, the "Wachington
Republican, has the cheek to say that
the Radical party "holds the confi
dence of tho country to-day as it has
held it for years. The peoplo believe
in its principles." It seems to us
the results on the 3d ult. should con
vince the Republican that that party
has evidently lost its grip somewhat.
The " Beast " SrisMissrvi-:. Tho

COURTESY C? BANCROFT LIBRARY,
UNIVERSITY CF CALIFORNIA,
Oregon City as a Place lor Mamil'ac-
torics.
There can te no question but what
Oregon City presents tho best in
ducements of any place in the State
for the erection and successful car
rying on of manufacturing enter
' prises. There have been in the past,
woolen mills started in various parts
of our State, yet none have compen
sated those who invested their monev
except the one located in this city,
and it has beeu a paying institution
ever since its erection. This is lie
cause of its location and convenience
to market. Like all other manufac
tures, the principal market must be
Portland. Men do not go to the
manufactory to buy their goods, but
they buy of tho merchants when they
purchase aU their goods. No kind
of manufacturing enterprise can bo
started in Oregon but what it must
import more or less of its raw mater
ial and send its manufactures to
Portland to be sold. Hence, the
closer the factory is located to its
purchasing and selling place, the less
expense it will be in the matter of
freight. This, to an establishment
of any pretensions, is considerable
in a short time, and is of great im
portance. Oregon City is centrally
located; has steamboat connection
tho entire year to within a few miles
of Salem, and all the year on the
Yamhill river. This supplies a great
part of our valley. While we have
uninterrupted river navigation the
entire year to Portland, where at
least nine-tenths of all goods manu
factured are sold. Thus it will be
seen that. the nearer the seller and
manufacturer arc located together,
tho less will be their expense for
freight. This item alone is worth
thousands of dollars per year to any
manufacturing enterprise. What we
have said of the woolen mills in this
city, may also be said of tho flouring
mills.
The water-power hero is unequal
led in any part of our State. It is
true, other places have good water
power, yet not equal in any respect
to what can be ollered here. There is
sufficient power at this place to run
machinery from here to Portland on
both sides of the river, if properly
used.
But all theso advantages will not
avail Oregon City if her citizens will
not make the proper use of them.
Other towns are building up on tho
very foundation which nature has
placed here, and if wo desire to reap
the benefits of this great gift, we
must use it. Tho water-power and
its advantages have long been known
but as yet but a little of its capacity
has been brought into use. If our
citizens desire to prosper and become
rich from this store-house of wealth,
they must put it to use. Once in
use, our little town would become
the attraction of capitalists from all
parts of our State, and other coun
tries. It is to bo hoped that the induce
ments offered by this place to get the
Homo Manufacturing Company to
locate here, will be successful. Some
of our citizens have shown a very
liberal spirit; and we regret that all
are not hearty co-workers in this
movement. No man who has any
interest in this place has a right to
expect his neighbor to give toward
an enterprise that will enhance the
value of his property while he him
self refuses to aid. It is a matter of
material benefit, and those who are
to reap the results of it, should be
ready to give of their means. We
have canvassed the city for subscrip
tions during tho past week. Some
have come out handsomely, while
others have said "I know it will be a
great benefit to the town aud enhance
the value of property," refused to
give anything on the ground that they
don't approve of subsidizing persons.
This is but a dodge to get out of pay
ing their portion for their own beno
fit. If a man is worth in realty to
day 1,000 in Oregon City, and the
location of this institution in out
place will make him worth 2,000,.
he is not giving anything he now has,
but only gives off of the increase cre
ated by the enterprise being located
here. We hope thst the meeting to
be held for the final consideration of
this matter, this (Friday) evening,
may be fully attended by those who
feel interested in tho prosperity of
our town. The meeting need not
confine itself to the consideration of
this particular question, but might,
with profit to our town, discuss other
matters of interest. Let no one stay
away but let there bo a full attend
ance. Remarkable. It is somewhat re
markable how quiet the South has
got all at once. We have not had
the usual Ktt Klux reports from that
section since the election. Old Flax
brake and his tools should keep up
sending those "outrage" dispatches
at least for a week or two after the
elections. It is now conceded that
old Williams is the greatest political
demagogue and "outrage" manufac
turer in the land.

A Horrible Case.
East Portland is the scene of a
horriblo and disgusting case of rape.
The facts, as shown by tho evidence
submitted at the examination before
Judge Denny last Tuesday, are as
follows:
One evening about the latter part
of January, 1S74, Mrs. Stromeir (one
of the defendents) came over to the
house of Mrs. Harris and asked if
Ada could not come and remain with
her (Mrs. Stromeir) during the even
ing. Her husband belonged to a
band and had to play at a ball that
evening, and she felt a little timid
about staying at home alone. Mrs.
Harris gave her con.?ent, and Ada ac
companied Mrs. Stromeir to her
home. In the testimony it was
shown that the houses occupied by
Messrs. Harris and Stromeir stood
side by side. It, was early in the
evening when Ada went over to Mrs.
Stromeir's house. - From about 7
o'clock to 10, Ada and Mrs. Stromeir
sat by the stOTe, engaged in conver
sation. About 10 o'clock Mrs. Stro
meir arose and said it was time for
them to go to bed. Ada said that
she would retire to bed with her
clothes on, as her mother had spe
cially charged her to return home as
soon as Mr. Stromeir should come
back. Mrs. Stromeir told Ada that
unless she undressed herself she
could not get into her bed. At
length Ada disrobed herself and went
to bed. Meantime Mrs. Stromeir
had locked all the doorsof the house.
A few minutes after they "got into
bed, Mrs. Stromeir told Ada that
John DeBorst would soon bo there,
and that she (Ada) must consent to
let him occupy the bed. On hearing
this Ada began to cry, and said she
would go home. The woman told
her that she must remain there and
make no noise, if she valued her life.
Just then there came a rap on. the
window; when Mrs. Stromeir saying
that it was DeBorst, bade Ada get
up and uilock tho door. This the
girl refused to do, when the woman
arose, and opening the door, admit
ted DeBorst, who began to undress
himself. Ada became much alarmed
and declared that she would go home.
She was prevented from doing this
by the woman, who caught hold of
her arm an forcibly detained her.
Ada testified that the woman told
her that she must submit to the em
brace of DeBorst, and to enforce obe
dience, drew a knife, which she held
near her head and threatened her
with death if she did not tamely and
silentlv submit to the outrage. Over
powered and terrified by the threats
of violence, Ada was compelled to
endure the violation of her person.
She testified that DeBorst, after hav
ing accomplished his fiendish pur
pose, dressed anil went away. Soon
after lwing dishonored, Stromeir re
turned and Ada went to her homo.
She testified that she was restrained
from telling her parents of her shame
and disgrace by threats which were
made by the woman, Stromeir and
DeBorst, who told her that they
would kill her if she ever dared to
tell any person what had transpired
on that night. She had carried the
wrongs silently in her own breast
until a few weeks ago. After several
witnesses were examined, Henry
Stromeir, one of the defendents, was
discharged, on motion of tho prose
cution. Ho was called as a witness
by tho defense- after Thomas Harris
was examined, and failed to put in
an appearance. Not being able to
find him both sides rested the case.
Short arguments, pro and con, were
made by Messrs. Ball, By bee, Cronin
and Upton, when the case went to
tho Court. Judge Denny, after a
brief summing up of the evidence,
held the defendants to answer the
charge of rape before the next grand
jury. No application was made for
bail, and none was fixed by the Court.
The prisoners were remanded to jail. !
Charles Harris, brother of the out- j
raged girl, sought IXdJorst last Mon- j
day with a double-barrel shot-gun,
but unfortunately both barrels snap
ped, and tho wretch made good his
escape by running like a quarter
horse. Had the boy succeeded in
planting both charges of shot in the
carcass of tho wretch, public opinion
would have said he did right. We
hope that the fiends who perpetrated
this outrage, will get the full penalty
of the law, and then they cannot get
too much.
The SriiciF. Question. It is likely
tliat this will Ik a lively question
before Congress. A dispatch of tho
1st to the Chicago Tribune from
Washington, says: ' No tlonbt both
tho President ami Secretary Dristow,
in their communications to Congress
will take a very decided, position in
reference to specie payment. "While
no ono is permitted to speak with
authority, it seems certain they will
recommend Congress to fix by legis
lation an early day for coin resump
tion. That day will bo January 1,
1870. It seems probable- if such
recommendations are sent to Con
gress the financial discussion and
excitement of the last year can
scarcely bo avoided, unless commit
tees shall decide to avoid discussion
by declining to report back financial
measures. This course has already
been suggested by Congressmen who
are opposed to determining the time
of specie resumption by legislation.
Congressmen generally do not seem
to have modified the financial views
held by them last winter. Conver
sation with a considerable number
indicates no appreciable modification
on either side of the question. Hard
money men, very determined in their
views, .state they are prepared to
make the financial question a nation
al issue. Those holding contrary
opinions are not so nearly agreed
upon a policy. Some favor forming
a national issue upon tho question of
speedy coin resumption; other de
precate such an issue, and are averse
to fixing by law a day for specie re
sumption." Beakded in- His Dex. Open war,
remarks tho Xew York Tribune,
seems to bo declared upon Senator
Conkling in his own home. Tho de
feat of the editor of the Utica Herald
by the Senator's law partner, who
was the Democratic candidate, has
been tho last straw to break the cam
el's back.
