o 31)c (utctprisc OREGON CITY, THURSDAY, SOY. 22, 1S77. Preparing lor the Campaign. Tho Democratic papers arc calling on their followers to organize for the corning campaign. That is what the Republicans must do if they desire to retain the- advantage of their majority in this State. The Stato elections do not generally bring out the full vote, and as was indicated last year, the stay-at-home Republicans out number the Democrats. In Juno, which preceded the Presidential election, the Demo crats carried the State by a large ma jority, gaining both branches of the Legislature, and the aggregate Demo cratic vote cast in Juno outntimered the Republican. But in the Presi dential election following, when the Republicans were organized and thor oughly united, the-v carrried the State by over eleven hundred votes. The Democrats will try to gain back their lost ground, and by hard work en deavor to carry the State. This they cannot do if the Republicans will be united and thoroughly organized. Tho Democrats are steady and regular voters. They may growl and fight bo fore tho party conventions are held, but tho leaders bring their followers in the ranks, and few are found absent on the day of election. "With a good ticket, one which can bo supported by every true and honest Republican, the Democrats will have no show for success; out if tho Repub licans will do as they have done in other States, of course tho contest may be close, and even defeat may follow our party. Personal bickerings and ani mosities should bo discarded, and tho party thoroughly organized for the coming contest. Tho immigration into this State for the; past year is largely in favor of tho Republican cause. But theso people are strangers, and as Re publicans generally look to men as well as party; unless true, honest and good citizens aro placed before them for their suffrage, they will remain at homo and not vote. We must organize and seo that theso new voters aro not carried into the cam) of our opponents, and that tho indifferent and lukewarm are brought to a realization of the great importance of a Republican victory. Oregon must not be allowed to trail her victory gained last November in tho dust. There is great reason why a change should bo made in tho State administration, and as the time ap proaches for the election, the affairs of Stato under Democratic rule will be exhibited to tho public in such, a man ner as to convince every true Repub lican that it is his duty to turn out and vote tho part ticket; besides, many honest Democrats aro demanding a change, who will come4ovcr to "our sup port. Let us rguBKe establish 1 mony, and work together for a common and grand victory. The Portland, Dalles and Suit Lake llo:u. The Enterprise has always been a Special friend of this road, and we are therefore highly gratified that Senator Mitchell is pushing the demands of the same. We seo nothing in this demand to which the North Pacific Cornpany can object. In the first jdace, one road is about as much as we can exect this company within any reasonable time to construct, and we feel confident that before the main line is built down the Columbia, tlie people of Seattle will have completed a connection with the Walla Walla valley. Then where i3 there any injustice in transferring the branch lands which will revert back to tho General Government ? We do not 6eo how any friend of Eastern Oregon can oppose the bill proposed by Senator Mitchell, and wo are at a loss to under stand how even the friends of tho North Pacific can opposo this change Eut we feel that it is our duty to work for that rich and ut present isolated section of Eastern Oregon, especially while we xire not depriving onr neighbors of any rights they have. The people of Wash ington Territory, if they only looked at their interests, would, instead of oppos ing this transfer, give it their hearty support. If this change is made, the chances are as good for two roads as for one. It would virtually create compet ing lines, and would force tho North Pacific to bo moderate in its charges and be a protection against monopoly. This is probably the reason the man agers of tho North Pacific are so stren uously opposed to tho line. They havo no hopo of using tho two subsidies, but they do not want any road which may como in competition with their own. It is not the land they want, but a mon opoly of the traffic for the great North west. That is what they aro after, and if the the bill passes as introduced in the last session of Congress, with tho amendment that it shall pass down the south side of the Columbia, the people of Oregon and Washington Territory will never see tho day when the North Tacific Company will construct any other line. Oregon wants competition to secure Ler against oppressive monop olies, and the passage of Senator Mitch til's bill will give her that protection, and at the same time Washington Terri to ry will be protected. There is a great and rich, section of country over which the P. D. and S. L. road runs which is not touched bv the G North Pacific at all. The Idaho are almost entirely- left out, and the monopoly on the Columbia is own ed .and controlled in the interest of the North Tiicifjc. If this company suc ceeds in its opyiosition to this bill, we feel confident that it will be many years before there is a road constructed down the Columbia river. It will go from the Columbia river east, and the X'ooplo will be for years longer at the mercy of tho O. S. N. Co. We trust that Senator Mitchell's bill will be passed, and that there will be two competing lines into Oregon. Hayes and llepuldican Senators. A Washington dispatch of tho 27th says: A caucus of Republican senators was held this afternoon. The senators who waited upon the president to ac quaint him with tho comments of the previous caucus, gave him an account of what took place. They reported that the president, in response to the state ment of the widespread uneasiness and dissatisfaction which had been created among his party friends by his ap pointment of Democrats to southern offices ' had argued that his polliey in this regard was notprejndici al to the interest of the Republican party, and certainly not adopted by him from any want of earnest desire for the perpetuation and maintenance of Republican power and principles. On the contary it was his expec tation and belief that the pursuance of this policy would pro mote a coalition of the old Whig ami various elements natnrally opposed to tho Democratic party in the south and eventually six or eight southern states for tho Republicans. All tho senators at the interviewed expressed themselves to tho caucus convinced that the presi dent was throughly sincere in this be lief. They also reported the president said he was very desirous to be in har mony with the leaders of the party and was gratified to have had the oppor tunity of ascertaining thus definitely and clearly expressed "their advice and candid criticism; it would always be wolcome to him and hoped and believ ed there would be les3 cause for com plaint in the future. In any event if their should be differences of opin ions there need be' no occasion for ill feeling, and he trusted there would be none. A free discussion followed as to to the propriety and probably effects of the president's policy in case it should be pursued by him and acquiesced in by the senate. Authentic reports of the president's utterance submitted to the senatorial caucus, to-day and the subsequent calm interchange of views have dispelled all danger of tho threatened open rapture between him and tho influential portion of the Republican party which consid ers his policy in somo particulars un wise or injurious. 1 he president s re marks to Edmunds and other caucus delegates who held a conference with him last Tuesday were accepted by the caucus te-day as a positive intima tion that Haves will not persist in his present policy of appointing Democrats to southern oilices now that he has as certained that a majority of his party friends in the senate have determined to oppose such action. The result will undoubtedly be that in case any of the pending nominations aro rejected the president will replace them with oth ers acceptable with his party, ami that hereafter ho will not make appoint ments without fully consnltiug the views and wishes of Republicans who are in5c,itvn to judge of their fit ness 'a . ossible consequences. llo publK natorial leaders are also Tlow vx tii.it the president has no desire cr intention to assume Andrew Johnson's atttiude against them, and the feeling of distrust or surprise as to his future course has been greatly al layed and they therefore aro prepared to differ with him occasionally fciu mat ters of administration without therein finding a causo for bitterness of feel ing or still less for public quarrel and permanent alienation. Secretav Schurz has decided that a valid homcsteid entry is an appropri ation of the land covered by it, an J re mains such until a forfeiture is de clered in accordance with lav and the rules and regulations of the general land o flic a and until the reservation is removed. These regulations in regard to the method of declaring a homestead claim abandoned and the entry cancel ed are necessary to the efficient execu tion of the homest3ad law. Cases ad dicated under a different view of the homestead law aro not to be reopened. Senators "Whose Terms Expire. At tho close of tho present Congress, in 1879 the terms of tho following Sen ators will expire: Spencer, Rep., Aala bama; Dorsuy, Rep., Arkansas; Sar gent, Rep., California; Chaffee. Rep., Colorado; Earnum; Dcm., Connecti cut. Conover, Rep., Tlorida; Gordon, Dem., Georgia; , Oglesby, Rep., Illi nois; Morton, Rep., Indiana; Mc Creery," Dem., Kentnckey; Dent-is, Dem., Maryland; Allison, Rep., Neva da; WadleighRep., New Hampshire; Conkling, New York; Merriman, Dem., North. Carolina; Matthews, Rep,, Ohio; Mitchell, Rep., Oregon; Cameron, Rep., Pennsylvania; Patterson, Rep., South Carolina; Morrill, Rep,, Vermont; Howe, Rep., Wisconsin. Tho Louisi ana seat now in controversy becomes vacant in 1879. Of the outgoing Sen ators eighteen are Republicans and six Democrats. One of tho phenomena of Louisiana politics is the growth of a prohibition sentiment of which 'tho New Orleans Times says: "People will, begin to think that we of Louisiana are getting Puritanical if this sort of thing goes on much longer. Parish after parish is falling in line with the prohibition ban ner, and now the largest parish in the state comes out with a Sunday law ful ly equal to the 'blue laws' of Connecti cut." Noticing the entry of Pinchback as a claimant in the Louisiana Senator ial contests, the Lonisvill Courier-Jour-' nal directs attention to the fact that 'Pioehback made about 818,000 in per diem by claiming for several years a seat on the basis of an election by the Durell-Kellogg Legislature in lS72,and he probably thinks he can put in his time as advantageousal now." The report that Senator Morton's last words were "I am dying; I am worn out," is denied by a person who was present when the Senator died. About five minutes lefore he stopped breathing he looked up suddenly anl said to one cf his sons: "Johr, air.:' Washington Letter. Washington, D.C., Nov. 3. 1377. CONGRESS Little has been accomplished as yet in legislation, and less will b dono wo fear between this and Nov. 28, when both nonses will likoly adjourn for Thanksgiving. The flood of bills with which the House was deluged on Mon day exceeded anything in the history of Congress.but be yond the introduction of bills thej average Congressmen has, as yet, developed no legislative ability whatever. Just think of our 800 bills being introduced in one day, and that by tho immaculate democracywhich roars so loudly that no more steals shall ever be made from the Treasury through laws carrying fraud and theft. Adjournment has been tho rule so far, Sam Cox is terribly indignant over his disposal from the Chairmanship of the committee on Banking. It is a shame that Mr. Randall should not recognize Mr. Cox's wonderful financial ability. If tle degredation be intended as a piece of wit on Mr. Randalls part we presume Mr. Cox's fine sense of humor will enable him to appreciate it as an other illustration of American wit suit able for insertion in his next book on that subject. Tom Ewing of Ohio, who assumes to be father of the House because his fath er wa3 a great man,cameto grief Thurs day and made himself the laugh ing stock of the members through his lack of parliamentry knowledge. Tom introduced into the House, at the first opportunity his bill for repeal of the resumption Act, which of course was referred to the committee on Ranking who at once reported it back to the House, but r.ot for consideration by the committee on the whole. This course put the bill upon the Speaker's table where it could be considered only during the morning hour, and while it barred amendment and discussion at the hands of the republicans yet to se cure its passage a two-thirds vote was essential, which Thomas could not command. The Republicans led by Mr. Conger, a most shrewd parliamentarian, interposedjdilatory motions wholly con suming the morning hour and after which only the two-thirds vote could operate hence Mr. Ewing was hung up high and dry under roars of laugh ter at his discomfiture. Now the bill must be returned to tho Banking Com mittee for another report. This time it will be to the House in Committee on the whole where it at onco becomes a subject of prolonged debt and in definite amendment, for there are many diverse views in Congress as to our finances as there are members, and Mr. Ewing will liud each one taking a whack at his pet measure. By the time it passes through the hands of such skilful manipulators as Mr. Con ger little will be left of the bantling and we think Ginx's baby did not fare as badly as will the foundling at the hands of both resumptionists and anti resumptionists for it contains that which seems repugnant to both sides. Tom Ewing is a big man, ''bigger than old Grant" we don't doubt and comes beside from Ohio which sends out now days only statesmen, yet their is some thing of tho bubble about him which Mr. Conger's inciseiveness easily pricked on Thursdav. Thomas has much to learn and will bo a wiser man iu 1879 than he now is for the polishing he will get at Republicans hands, under his at tempted leadership of the Houso, will brighten a mau of mud. SENATOR MORTON The death of this great man casts a gloom over political circles here not seen or felt since the death Stevens. His pre-eminent conceded by all who knew none more freely admit it of Thad ability is him and than the Democrats. While thev gain much bv his death, yet they are more ;leased at his absence from the Senate than over the consequent gain of one Senator by them. He was the lion in their path and no one iu the Senate was as much feared by tham as he. While ho possessed little of that personal mag netism or oratorcal grace throutrn which Henry Clay could more the masses, yet his great intellectual force, courage and vigor, was such as to make him instinctively a leader, and there has been no collegne of his iu the Sen ate whoso hand and impress has been as great upon past Legislation as his. Since 18G1 he has been the power in the Senate which shaped and directed our Reconstruction measures. He never shirked a contest whether the odds were against him and whether crushing a Trumbull by chalking his back with "Barkis is willin" or holding a Schurz at bay on tho French arms debate, he seemed always in his true element of successful leadership. His plain un varnished language and telling argu ments were attractive and almost fas anatinsr much more so than the round ed periods of more polished intellects, and those who relish the intellectual contests of the Senate will sadly miss him in the future for the "Noblest Ro man of them all" has laid him down to sleep. It is a bitter reflection indeed that a Yoorhes must follow our gifted Morton. That one whose only talent is for saving a criminal from his just deserts should be the successor cf a statesman whose powers inabled him to carry a Nation though the evils and woes of a great civil war. But, Turk like, "Gods will be done." Junivs. The boasted prosperity of California is a little shadowed by the returns of the state assessor. The present value cf taxable property in the state is 595,073,177, a decrease of $23,010,138 as compared with last year. The total state and county tax for this vear is 811,219,970, an increase of $1823,332 as compared with last year. There is an earnest desire to have the President do everything to conciliate the party politicians. Would it not look well for the party politicans to do something to conciliate the President? Between the two the latter evidently has the whip hand. It is stated that Dr. Baker has con tracted with the leading grain shippers at Walla Walla to carry their freight for 85 per ton for the next three years. Lucky old fellow. Members of the Baptist Church at Salem have started a school for instruc tion of Chinese. Sixteen Chinamen are at present in attendence, and it is thought the number will soon be doubled.

The Times' Washington special says the House committee on elections will probably report in favor of Patterson, Democratic candidate from Colorado, and believes the conclusion will be a great wrong dono that State. Washington, Nov. 1C The Houe has agreed to appropriate $100,000 to have the United States represented at the Paris exposition. The House committee has agreed that the salaries of postmasters due shall ba paid. The amount due them is $081,681. Tweed confessed judgment in the sum of 933,640, being the amount which was fraudulently paid out by him on bills against New York City. A petition was riled in the District Court iu Brooklyn, New York, on the 17th, to adjudicate the affairs of Conrad Pepperhausen, an extensive manufac ture of hard rubber in this country and Germany, a bankrupt. He was re ported worth millions. His embarrass ments grew out of investments in Long Island railroads, all of which he con trolled. Liabilities, $3,521,850; nomi nal assets, $7,308,388, chiefly Long Island railroad securities. Chicago, Nov. 20. Tho Journal's Washington special says the anti-resumption men claim they can and will prevent adjournment until there is ac tion taken on the pending bills. There is a fair prospect that the elec tions committee will dispose of the Kellogg and Spofford cases this week. The committee sat this morning and will hold another session after tho Sen ate adjourns. The Republican sena tors will vote together on the Kellogg case, although it ;'s expected that Pat terson and Conover will vote for the admission of Butler. The Democrats are anxious to have Butler's case de cided first, so ho can vote for Spofford. Porcicn. London, Nov. 19. A special dis patch dated Yeran Kaleh, Sunday even ing, says the fortress and city of Kara, with 300 cannon, stores of amunition, cash, etc., fell into Russians hands. The Turks lost 5,000 killed and wound ed, 10,00 prisoners and many flags. The Russian loss is about 2,700. The Russian soldiers made but a trifling booty, and spared peaceful citizens, women and children. General Meli koff directed the battle during the day. Grand Duke Michael was present also. The former entered the city at 1:10 Sunday morning. A Yeran Kaleh special says Kars was captured by about 15,000 Russians, who climbed the steep rocks, ramparts and walls and drove an equal number of desperately righting Turks in head long flight over their ditches and par apets, compelling them to die or sur render. The escalade had been orig inally fixed: for the 13th, but it was postponed, owing to bad weather. The principal attack was made on the south ern forts. Gen. Lazerhoff, who com manded the right wing, consisting of 40th division, assaulted Hah'z Pasha in the fort crowning the steep rocky height. Gen. Count Grabbe, with a regiment of Moscow grenadiers and a regiment of the 39th division, atacked Hafiz Pash in the center, at Khaulic Tahea, Suvarri, Tabia (three towers) and the citadel. The Ardahan brigade another rigiment of Moscow grenadiers, under Gens, lioop and Ivomaroff, form ing the left wing, assaulted Inglis on the north. The attack began in the center, at 8:30 Saturday evening, when Count Grabbe led his brigade against the Khali redoubt and himself fell dead at the first onset. Captain Kwadwicki, of the 1.0th rigiment, was first to enter the redoubt, at 11 at night. The re doubt surrendered early in the morn ing, and than the three towers almost simultaneously with the capture of the Kauli redoubt, Fort Sauvarri and Fort Hafiz Pasha were carried bv assault by davlight, Sunday, Gen. LazeralT's troops had made progress as far as the capture of Fort Karidigh. Other Forts especially Arb Tabia, on the east, and Taknah Tabia on the west, maintained a stubborn resistance until 8 o'clock, when all the garrisons whicn could es cape fled toward Erzeroum, but those wera subsequently overtaken by dra goons and Cossacks and brough t back prisoners.

BANCROFT LIBRARY, CF CALIFORNIA, State News. City election takes place at Salem on the first Monday in December. Mr. Tuttle, of Summerville, Union county, made 45,000 pounds of butter iuis year. The first ground on the C. R. & B. M. II. R. was broke at 3 o'clock on the afternoon of the 14th. Mr. Litchfield informs the Statesman that there is no longer any doubt of the construction of the Dayton and Sheridan Railroad. George E. Strong, agent of the Cali fornia and Oregon lard company, will establish an office of that corporation in Jacksonville. Two miles north of Forest Grove, on a half-acre of ground 2,000 pounds of grapes, in quality excelling the Cali fornia grapes, were raised. The twelfth annual course of lec tures in the medical department of the Willamette University will commence on Monday, Deo. 17, 1877. The Gazette says that while the popu lation of Union coanty does no exceed 6,000. the agricultural resources of the county are sufficient to 6upport 250,000 people. The Roseburg Plaindealer says a re port is current around town that the O. i C. R. R. is about changing hands, parties from San Francisco being the purchasers. The gross value of all property in Lake county is $741,999, indebtedness, $95,707; exemption, $71,400; taxable property, $574,892; number of polls, 201; tax levy, 23 mills. J. Y.
