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

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

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

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."

The boasted prosperity of California
is a little shadowed by the returns of
the state assessor. The present value

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

London, Nov. 19. A special dis

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

The veteran Magazine, which lonpr ajro out-sr-w
its oriUial title of the JS'eiv Monthly
Altiriazinc, has not in the least abated the
popularity it won at tlie outset, but hats added
to it in many ways, and has kept fairly
abreast of tlie times, thanks to the enterprise
of the publishers and the tact and wisdom of
its editors. For whatever is best and most
readable in the literature of travel, discovery,
and fiction, the average reader of to-day looks
to Ilarjter'n Mttrdzine, just as exectantly as
did l'be reader of a quarter of a century afjo ;
there is the same admirable variety of con
tents and the same freshness and sugfrestive
ness in its editorial departments now as then.
