OREGON CITY, THURSDAY, AIG. I, 1S77. Is There No Helpi A couple of weeks ago we called the attention of oar readers to the necessity of good county roads, and at the same time suggested that if our roads were placed in a better conditior, Oregon City would be greatly benefitted there by. Since that time we have conversed with several of our farmer residents, who heartily endorse the article ard also tell us that at lt one third of the trade justly and properly belonging to our town now is forced to go to Port land, while it would come here if the roads were made passable. We con versed with one man in particular who resides about fifteen miles from town, and twenty-three from Portland. He tells us that he would rather travel the extra sixteen miles to Portland and back than attempt to come into Oregon Cibf "with a load. He says he can make the trip quicker than he can to Oregon 'City. In fact, the road from town to .Lia place is impassable. Now, it is so with many others. The county roads . are notoriously bad. Yet every year . the people of this county pay ont di rectly from the county fund hundreds of dollars for extra, in addition to the regular load service required by law. 1 Why this bad state of affairs? Simply because our road law is a farce, and the money and labor expended is worse than thrown away. Let us figure a lit tle and see whether there is not a wrong somewhere: We hare over 1,900 voters in this county; allow that there are 1,400 road workers. This would raise a sum of $5,000 on labor, and the property road tax amounts to fully that much more. But we will be moderate, and place the entire sum at 810,000 per year. We are not fearing a successful contradiction when we say that for the past fifteen years Clackamas connty has -egularly expended this fall sum (or laimed to have done so) on her public ads. This would make the sum $150, "). let this largo sum of money has given ,is a road that can be traveled r the second hard raid we have in fall, and until late in the spring. Is t apparent to any sensible man that his large sum of labor and money been properly expended, that we d have had at least our most public in not only a passable, but in ex it condition? There is no use to ise the fact that unless there is hing done to materially improve ads leading to Oregon City, the art of the trade of the county will Portland, or other places that are ible. We suggested in our other what we regarded as a remedy is useless waste of money and on pur roads, and we would like the question discussed in the that our next Legislature may some change in the present law. enton Democrat approvingly cop r artiele,and we trust the interior will take up the subject. This f affairs does not apply to Clacka unty alone. The same thing ei roughout every county in Oregon, resent law is a farce, and nnless l get one of more practical use, dire system had better beabolish 1 throw our roads to the mercy of .ople, without any law whatever, elieve they would then do more and better than is now done under rm of compulsion.

Stick to your Colors, George. Jicsumptioii. A writer in the N. Y. Evening Post advocates immediate resumption of spe cie payments by the Government. He argues that delay is dangerous, that the policy of contraction will but increase the difficulty of resumption, and that the sooner it is done the better. He believes, however that it can be done at -once. Tho Treasury now holds over .$100,000,000 in gold'coid, to be increas ed ten or fifteen millions more from the proceeds of the sale of bonds to Jbe syndicate, and capable of further indefi nite increase by the same meaus. Nearly the whole of this is available for the purpose of resumption. The ouly classes who would present greenbacks for re demption would ba tuose who wanted gold to hoard, those jjrbo wanted it to export, and those who wanted to profit by the premium on gold while there was yet a chance. It is argned that the rush for gold would very soon subside and that the Government could meet all At mands witN t difficulty. Civil Service Reform. The criticisms of the press on the order of the President shows how wrong a conception may be entertained as to the proper duties of the Federal office holders, and the nature of the reform proposed to be introduced into the civil service. All the criticisms which we have noticed that were adverse to the order seem to take the ground that it will destroy the Republican party. Were this so, it would be a practical acknowledgment that the party only ex ists by virtue of the officeholders. This is certainly not the case. When a citi zen votes for a President, he recognizes in the man he supports certain princi ples of government, one candidate, for instance, favoring free trade and the other a tariff; or one hard money and the other a paper currency. They vote for the one who entertains views in har mony with their own, and, in accordance with our system of government, the de feated candidate and those who sup ported him must submit to the will of the majority. It becomes the duty of the candidate to carry out the authority which the Constitution gives him in harmony with the views expressed by his party platform; but with this, party influence, so far as the executive de partment is concerned, should cease. The revenues paid into the Government are not paid by his supporters alone, but by the people at large. Into no department of the Government does the necessity of party influence enter. The good of the country does not require that any attention should be paid to the political opinions of the men in cbai-ge of any particular branch of the Govern ment, and if civil service bo carried ont in its proper manner, political opinions can have no direct influence in securing place, no more than when a man hires a book-keeper, clerk, printer, or a furmer a hand in harvest time. They generally select such as do their duty best, irre spective of party associations. The pernicious spoils system has been in force so long that it has become re garded as an established principle that the entire machinery of the Government must be conducted on a partisan basis. This partisan system can be carried to any length. Suppose that our post master was to first deliver his mail to the Republicans instead of serving all alike in rotation as they come? How long does any person suppose it would be endured by the people? Not very long, and Republicans would as readily decry such a course as those deprived of their proper rights. This would be only an extension of tho theory held by the spoilsmen, that all the departments of Government must be filled by par tisans who supported the President in power. If the party can demand all the Government offices, it should be equal ly entitled to the Government favors. It was this poliey of partisanship which nearly lost the Presidency to the Re publicans last year.and Presidant Hayes was elected on a pledge that he would carry out the reformation. Under for mer administrations it was regarded as but proper that each district or State should have so many offices, whether they were a necessity or not. In the State of New York it was shown that one fifth of the men employed in the Custom House were not needed. They were kept there for party services. In this Custom Houe alone it is stated there were over 1.200 persons -on the pay roll on the recommendation of the machine politicians, who were not need ed, and the cost to the people was about $1,025,000 per annum. It had b-conie a principle with party managers that there must not only be a man to do the work of an office, but also one to do the party work outside. It is easy to see that the reform President Hayes has inaugurated within his party is no smi.ll undertaking. When the officeholders are expected to take an active part in the management of political affairs, they must more or less neglect their work, and instead of being responsible for the faithful dis charge of their duty to the President or the people, they are more indebted for their position to the politicians whose success they are supposed to have se cured. President Hayes has taken a noble advance in a proper reform in our civil service, and while there are those who are inclined to find fault with his order, it will stand against all opposi tion, and, the long-desired reform, while it may be checked for a time, will come at last; and instead of the future con tests having to be fought for Republican success on this issue.it will become one of its accomplished principles and one of its strongest planks in the datform. an pointed to with as much pride as RVpuNipans now point to the destruc tio'a f slavery op the American soil. The .Federal Credit. The America people have reason to feel proud of tbeiV country, and espe cially has the Republican party of its past and present financial policy. The best indications of the standing and confidence entertained of a nation is its financial credit abroad. In this respect the securities of the United States stand in advance of almost any nation on the j face of the earth. Notwithstanding the agitation of the further issue of curren- cy and the making of silver a legal tn- or for all sums.foreign capitalists have the utmost confidence in the honor and integrity ot the people.and are anxious ly investing in Ctr bonds. The loan now being negotiated by Secretary Sherman is being rapidly taken at the low rate of four per cent, at par in Eng land, and large sums are taken in our own country. This, in a financial point of view, is highly creditable to the ad ministration, and the people generally for it shows that the foreign capitalists 1. nnnCl 1 - i . i tuns tuuuiieiiCB WHICH 13 go lm- I portant to a great commercial natiop. Inter-State -Commerce. We are in receipt, says the Chicago Post, of the first annual report on the internal commerce of the United States; the statistics' being brought down to June 30. The document, prepared by Mr. Joseph Nimmo, Jr., opens with the j statement that while the shipping em ployed in our foreign trade represents a capital of 8200,000,000, our railways proximate in value 81,000.000,000, and while the value of our foreign commence is 1,121,031,277, that of our internal traffic is 818,000,000,000. Our rail ton nage is therefore one hundred times greater in bulk than our foreign com merce. Discussing tho competitive forces which exert a controlling influ ence on inland commerce, Mr. Nimmo claims valuable commercial results from the improvemeut of rivers and harbors by the Government, by which competi tion with the railway system has been secured and cheap transportation on through cargoes quite generally main tained. The financial condition of a railway has an important bearing upon its freight tariff, and the competition of Xroducts in the markets of the country is often an effective restraint upon trans portation rates. The more northerly lines to the seaboard erjoy peculiar geographical advantages. The railroad problem of the diy is how to solve the practical difficulties which have arisen through the competi tion of roads and of markets. The strug gle for the seaboard traffic begins in Ohio and grows stronger and more com plicated as we advance westward. The power exercised by the managers of the great trunk lines is often dwarfed by the active efforts of many smaller commer cial forces. Trausportat on and trade are so intimately connected that to elim inate railway competition would do vio lence to commercial interests. As to water tonuage, the changes in the past quarter of a ceutury have been wonderful. Then the trade of St. Louis was confined to the rivers, while in 1S75 78 per cent, of her tonnage went by rail. The lumber traffic of the Upper Missis sippi holds its 'own. Chicago ships east ward 92 per cent, of her breadstnffs by lake. The Canadian canals have formed a lively competition with New York for foreign commerce. Tho telegraph has produced great changes in the modes of commerce. The center in grain production has in thirty years goue from Luke Erie to the Mis sissippi. Cotton now goes direct by rail to North Atlantic ports and factories, and pork is shipped on through bills to Europe from interior poiuts in Iowa and Illinois. For nnny years the commerce of the Erie canal greatly exceeded that of the Mississippi river, but the canal traffic is now surpassed fivefold by that of two or three trunk railways to the seaboard. The West semis to the East live times as much grain as to the South. A little bnudle of humanity up the country, who is only big by the ampli tude of his title, which is Brigadier General Martin Van Bureii Brown, as sumes to be catistio over the assertion of ours that there is a general feeling among Democrats and Republicans alike that a little spondn'nx fell like dew from heaven upon a few obstinate Legislators to revivify their waning f-ith in Grover. We can stand mild censure with a most transparent forti tude coming from disinterested sou ces, but to be reviewed by tho Brigadier General is a rank offense. We said he is only big by the amplitude of his title we retract; for he is .voluminous too as the biggest appropriator of the people's money, without rendering an equivalent, of all the hungry aud dis houest horde Grover has fastened like leeches on the body of the State.

Mr. President: I nm directed by the Speaker to inlorm you that the House has passed. The only blessing Brown can con tribute to his country, is that his knav ery which is one of the constituent elements and prop of Groverism in Oregon will go very far to overturn the political leeches and vampires that have nearly bankrupted the State in defiance of our constitutional limita tion, and thus far he will serve to "point a moral." His military career does not abound in exploits to excite our pride or curi osity, his "last campaign against the bucks being pronounced a failure owing to the necessity of his anchoring in the bunch grass regions during the preva lent winds in that country to keep from blowing away, and he was therefore transferred to the Dr partment of Linn aud given the task of keeping the squaws down in Albany with what success we are not aware. Brigadier General Martin Van Buren Brown stands in the likelihood of going down J in history, not as a wafylCT, critic, or philanthropist, but ;-H',y, "au atHt Gr tool whoso political rascality helped to overthrow Pemocracy in Oregon."

From the Nanaimo Press of July 2Gth, we take the following: "From Indian sources we learn that a canoe full of Queen Charlotte In dians, comprising men, women aud children, were murdered by the Cowi chan Indians, near Plumper Pass about a week ago. The following are the particulars as far as we have been able to procure them: Several months ago a number of Cowichan Indian mysteriously disap peared, aud the tribe for some reason or other, laid the blame on the Northern Indians, aud decided to wait their time, and have a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an ej-e, and a life for a life. The chance evidently arrived about a week ago, for as a canoe laden with Queen Char lotte Indians, was passing through Ac tive or Plumper Pass they were met by two canoes filled with Cowichan In dians. The Q leen Charlotte Indians, not suspecting any foul play allowed the two canoes to come alongside when the men were immediately killed aud the women and children taken on shore. During the night the captured wo men were ravished by the capturers, and both women and children killed by them in cold blood next morning. At Victoria the police have informa tion that two canoes were attacked, one of which succeeded in escaping. Five persons men, women aud children were murdered. The Strike. The strike at Indianapolis on the P. C. & S. L. It. B., ended by laborers ask ing and receiving permission to go to work on the old terms. Fire was set in a Chinese house, in Sari Pablo, near Oakland, on the 20th, and nine houses were destroyed before the flames wore subdued. At Albany, New York, the st'ike is believed to be ended. Workingmen have resolved to hold no more public meeting, and denounce the mob. In St. Louis tl o. general impression is that the worst is over. The Missouri Pacific railroad has commenced run ning freight trains. Eiiilit thousand miners in Plymouth district Pennsylvania. have struck. The Wyoming and Lackawanna valleys are much excited and all business is paralyzed. The C hicago papers publish a list of the killed and wounded in the riot of Friday night. As far as can be ascer t lined fifteen were killed and seventy five wounded. In San Francisco, Snndav nigh, a company of safety men was fired upon by hoodlums near Laurel Hill Ceme tary. The company replied with a vol ly and the assailants took to the brush. In consequence of the strike of min ers coal has advanced fifty cents per ton! The negro Senator from Mississippi, Bruce, who recently visited San Fran cisco, expresses the opinion that the Chinese are not a desirable addition to our population. He says: "I naturally imagined that tho essen tial features of prejudices against the immigration of Chinese, and opposition to the exercise of the suffrage by the colored race, were the same, and had a common origin in the illiberality of certain people. I see now that there is a vast difference, and that where out race assimilates with Americans freely, owing to the peculiar repel 1 ant qnalites and disinclination of the Chinese to mingle with c r adopt European customs, ! they must ever rem iin total strangers to the people whose domestics they are, and whose, work they perform." Tho Albany (N. Y.) Journal prints an account of Mr. Tilden's attitude in re- gard to the Electoral Commission bill while it was under discussion, which it says is authoritative. According to this story Mr. Tihlen was very slow in giv- I ing any opinion, but when Mr. Hewitt left him to return to Washington Mr. . Tilden remarked: "Mr. Hewitt, don't take the responsibility of defeating it." On that answer Mr. Hewitt acted. Sun Francisco Chronicle: There is no labor strike in this city to plead in ex cuse of riot and disorder. All this confusion is produced by a class of idle, bumming, thieving loafers, known ns hoodlums. No men who are in the habit of earning a living by work were iu the mobs that on Wednesday night and before that attacked the Chinese washhonses, tiring some and battering down others Joseph and his band have made their escane into Montana and will probably locate in British America. The troops stationed at the east end of the Loin pass, to intercept the band, allowed them to pass without ofltring to give battle. General Howard has started in pursuit, but we fear it will end in naught as Joseph has a good start and he will make good time for the British line.

The committee examining the affairs of tho office of U. S. Treasurer upon the transfer of the office from Wyman to Gillfillau, have completed their in vestigation. During Wy man's term there was received into the treasury and paid out over 740,000,000 with out an error, excepting one of less than $5. The Assistant Secretary of the Treas ury cites in evidence that distress among the laboring classes is not caus ed by any contraction in currency, the fact is there is no contraction. The records show that nearly oue-fifth of the whole volume of U. S. notes is now voluntarily on deposit iu the treasury for safe keeping without interest. The money is heavily accumulated in all banks, and interest on commercial pa per is lower thau it has been for years. It is idle currency, and not waut of currency that constitutes the present trouble. Saratoga. July 31.

Some person un known also took aboard a large number of violent anti-crusade pamphlets and, gave them to sergeants for destiibution among the troops. London-, July 2S. Since tho dis patch of British troops to Malta, a reg ular campaign has been opened by the entire Russian press against England. Some journals laugh at the insignificant force England can spare for an eastern war.
