3l)c (Enterprise. OREGON CITY, Till RSI) AY, JAN. 10. 17?. Uow Not to Build Itoii roads. Ii is a sprioua question vbcther the "railfcii.l war" as r.ow bciug wjigeil ly the Portland" papers, will ever result in any good. Instead of spending all their time in decrying e ch other and dragging in the hngbear Mitchell, at one time as a Bolivar and at another as a base trickster, they would make man ifest their respective good points, and bnild np, editorially, their roads, in stead of trying to destroy the opposing lines, think much good might come of it. The N. F. R. K. accuses Mitchell of being the tool of the Central Facifio road, and as there is no prospect of the P. D. & S. Jj. road being built, he has been instructed to make a demonstra tion in its favor in order to take off the upport of the Eastern Oregon people from the N. P. road -which could be easily built if the people woold only unite in saying bo. On the other band the defenders of the Dalles road, say that a road from Portland to Salt Lake would pass through and open a vast amount of Oregon land to settlers ; that joining -with the XJ. P. road, it would escape the terrible and almost im passable (in winter) snows of the Northern write. The advocates of this road make it plain that' the N. P. road would never run down on tad south bank of the Columbia, as it would be worse than throwing money away to lay track along a navigable river, the neighborhood of which ia sparsely set tled, not giving work enough for the tfteamboatd now plowing it. They maintain that the road can be built by the sale of the land grants, and as the country to be passed over is compara tively level, the construction expense will be low. We are of those. who con cider a half loaf better than no bread ; and while we would first rather see both roads built, and next the Portland Dalles and Salt Lake road, if such be impossibilities, than let us have the N. P. road, but with the express stip ulation that it shall run on the Oregon e'de of the Columbia river. By this, wo don't wish to insinuate that we have faltered in our Lope that the P. D. & B. L. road will be built, or that we have gone into the camp of the Jay Cooke Corporation. Our voice shall be for the Dalles road forever, be there but the slightest glimmering prospect of its ultimate construction, but if it be made apparent to us that this line can never be bnilt, then we will go over to the next beet, and work for the Northern Pacific. Now we think it due the people of Oregon that the leading advocates of these rival roads, instead of throwing dirt at each other should make a clear statement of how it is in tended their respective roads shall be bnilt on the passage by Congress of the needed bills. "With such information - At At 1 ueiore inem me people coma mucu more readily form their opinions than how, and the one presenting the best prospects of finally amounting to some thing would necessarily receive their support. Decrying one another is but double murder ; show your own good points, and leave the public to give the verdict, which of you shall be sustained by it. This is the only rational course. Licensed Murderers. Just before the last Legislature we argued with all our little might that a bill be passed making it a criminal of fense for anyone to practice as a regular physician, who had not received a dip loma from some medical college of ac knowledgement. The bill was killed as dead as the patients of some of these quacks, and before the necessity of such a measure is f 01 gotten, we wish again to call the attention of our lead ing men, of both parties to its import ance. There may justly bo two sides to almost every question, as for instance we do not think those who favor free iraae are icuois necessarily, uut on a topic of this kind we sct but one side men must be crazy to argue to the con trary. Thero may be justly a diversity of opinion on laws regulating our monetary affairs, our human conduct. and an honest difference between men ju almost every public topic, but where the question arises, shall un educated boors be licensed to trine with human lives ? There can be one true answer, "No." This ia a matter of the gravest import, and we hope our solous in their senatorial squabbles will not overlook it. The Cuban rebellion was officially announced to Lave come to an end ob6nt the time when Congress met ; if we remember rightly it came to end tbout the time the previous Congress met, and, in fact, the only news from Spanish sources for eight years with regard to the Cnban rebellion has in variably been that it was over. Ac cordingly we are not surprised to learn that the late news from Cuba informs ns that insurgents Lave been dispersed with great loss, etc., etc. A rebellion that can keep up such lively fighting .After it has come to an end is, to say the least, a very animated corpse. Being somewhat unaccustomed to humiliation and disappointment the fact that no other paper joins us in de manding that Harvey W. Scott be made Mitchell's successor in the U. S. Senate, ha-) figuratively stabbed us to the heart. We still 4he Scot standard, how wer, and are determined to make something of him, since he himself has h signally failed in his efforts to attain atuesa. Proposed Income-Tax. There is but one argnment against the income-tax that has and that i. the man who any weight ; ha3 been left iiu estate that xys hire an income or haa amassed suOioient in former years to enable hi ax to live no uueneas, is , taxed only as much ns the hard work- j -r master mechanic or salaried clerk, who by superior abilities ad strict at tention to business, is able to make an amount equal to that thrust upon the man born with a silver spoon in his mouth. This, however, ia but a small objec tion, and on the ground that thero was never an Act of Parliament passed that a coach and four could not be driven through, there was never a law that the people at large can find less fault with than thi3 one. As Senator Thur man truly said in a late speech : ''All the legislation for years past has been in favor of tho rich, those who need it not, and the time has now come to pay a littlo attention to our yeomanry." Laws have been passed making the rich men richer and tho poor man poorer, until the distinction between a capita list and on ordinary citizen is almost as marked as the difference between a Skobelloff and a serf. Rich men are in variably influential men, and when their interests are at stake they com bine, and nothing seems able to with stand them. How often do we read of a delegation of New York bankers or railroad Presidents waiting on the chief executive in relation to pending bills favorable or adverse, to their interests ? The fact is notorious that men of this character have paid lobbyists and spies continually in their employ, and when the cood of the people at larpre is placed in antagonism to their further greed, a power is brought to bear on Congress that is irresistible. The proposed income-tax is a move ment in favor of tho masses against the 'bloated bond holders," and we most earnestly hope that the managers of the new bill will stand like adamant against all overtures or attacks from the money kings of the country. It is a dogma in political economy that it is prima facie evidence that those who have money have made it in the country and should pay a certain proportion of it towards the country's support. From those who have not it is difficult to take, and in all justice those who have garnered up the treasurers of the earth should be the first oue3, and willing ones, to foot the country's bills As a matter, of course, the Oreyonia.ii takes strong grounds against the in come-tax, as tho organ of rich men and corporations, and dilates on the argu ment cited at the head of this article in a most garrulons and absurd manner, It is opposed to the income-tax because those who are heirs to fortunes or who have in former years accumulated sufficient to give them no forebodings for the future, are apt to be perjurers and creatures who will not tell the ex act amount of their annual rents. Tim is a severe speech from one of their own number, but fortunately we cannot believe that all capitalists are as bad as their spokesman would have us im agine. The Oreyonian further says, that " capital is taxed in other ways (than by the income levy), and if tUo tax on it is not high enough it should be put higher." Why higher ? Is n't there any danger of perjury or con cealment in other kinds of taxes ? I will let tho Oreyonian answer in its own words. "Experience shows that when the tax is put very high, it is an in ducement to fraud and a direct loss to Government." Surely tho master mind of the pre-eminent sheet has got things sorely mixed 1 The dread that he may have to pay some taxes to the Govern ment appears to have injured reasoning faculties. his The Standard seems a little chagrined that Clackamas county has two good Republicans, fitted respectively for the office of Governor and State Treasurer. Sorely that paper does not suppose that all the brains of Oregon are cen tred in the Portland Democracy? Clackamas County Republicans are not greedy, but when acknowledged leaders reside among them it is no more than right that they should be brought to tho front. The tempest in tho teapot on the Texan border ;has subsided into its normal spluttering. There are bad men living along the line of the Lone Star State and Mexico, those claiming to be Americans being every bit as bad as the Greasers, and until a sufficient number of U. S. and Mexican troops are kept in that vicinity to over awe the desperadoes, trouble will continue. Governor Carroll, of Maryland, in his message advising laboring men against organizing as a distinct political force in opposition to their employers, says no special platform is of any use to laboring men in a free country like ours. The questions of capital and labor must always adjust themselves, and are regu lated by conditions which politicians cannot control. The N. Y. Tribune comments on the foregoing thus: The workingmen are sure to find this ont at some time here after. They have been used to further pursuit of adventurers and wasted their time and muscle in useless if not lawless efforts to improve their condition. There are due the State for delin quent taxes, levies made prior to 1877 sums as follows: Baker conn t v.31 795 75 Grant county ,$441 93; Umatilla county' $7,522 19; Wasco county, 3,119 30. Total, $16,334 60. Burglars are nes3 at Salem. doing a thriving busi- A P!e;i for Man. The other day a man named Graham, shot and killed another named Ochil tree, at Comstock's Station, Lane County, for alleged improper intimacy with his wife. Graham it seems had frequently cautioned the deceased to en awav from his house, advice which he unfwttunately failed to heed. It is safe to say that thero is not a day passes that somewhere in the world this almost identical horrordoes not happen. It is tho old story, the wife grows in different, to her sworn companion on account of attentions bestowed upon her by some prepossessing young man ; the poor husband quickly detects the estrangement ; ho forbids the young man his hi use ; clandestine meetings occur, upon the heels of which quickly follow the rnin of the woman. When a married women meets a man not her husband secretly, she courts danger, which almost invariably ends in her ruin, and she has but herself to blame. There is a great deal of maudlin senti ment wasted on tho poor weak women who are led astray by arch fiends, and all that sort of thing, but if a woman, when she is. married has not sense en ough to repel the improper attentions of a third party, sho deserves her dis grace, for she brings it upon herself. Just as it takes two to make a bargain, so it does in affairs contrary to honest marriage ; and to lay all the blame on the man, who has perhaps been not only met half way, but tempted beyond endurance by the woman, is a down right injustice. Where it can be proved that the wife is a woman of weak mind, and that she has made the victim of a studied plot on the part of some sweet talking vil lain, then give the wretch bullets enough in his vile carcass to sink a ship but not otherwise. We may be con sidered as uttering an abominable heresy, but we actually believe that there are such thing-) in existence as bad women, and to lay all the blame of everv misdeed in which a married woman and man are the principal ac tors upon the mala is simply absurd Bad men there are in abundance, granted that tho good ones are the ex ception but we seriously doubt if there ever was a creature so degraded as to cold-bloodedly plan the ruin of an innocent woman a woman who had not in some way encouraged his ad vances. There is an atmosphere of virtue surrounding women, that is only made impure by their own desire Men Lave enough villainies to carry without making them shoulder the sins of women. IXexry Wari Beecheb recently created a sensation in Plymouth Church. He said : "The doctrine that God has been for thousands of years peopling this earth with human beings, during the period of three-fourths of which it was not illuminated by an altar or church, and in places where a vast population of these people are yet without that light, is to transform the Almighty to a monster more hideous than Satan himself. I swear by all that is sacred that I will never worship Satan, though lie should appear dressed in royal robes and seated on tho throne of Jehovah. Men may say : You will not go to Ileaven !' I reply a Heaven presided over by such a demon as tl):it who has been peopling this world with millions of human being and then sweeping them off to hell, not like dead Hies, but without taking the trouble even to kill them, and gloating and laughing over their eternal misery, is not such a Heaven as I waut to go to. Tho doctrine is too horrible. I cannot believe it, and I won't." The Washington corresijondent of the Chicago Tribune thus accounts for Sena tor David Davis's failure to voto on the admission of Butler: He believed that that neither contestant was properly elected. Hud ho voted against K.itler it would have resulted in a tie, and the casting voto would have kept Butler out. Then the question would have come up on Corbin's admission, and had he voted against him tho tie and casting vote would have admitted Cor bin. He therefore stepped into the cloak-room, and his absence let But ler in. State ivews. There are 228 patients in the insane asylum at East Portland CC females and 1C2 males.

On Friday last a man named Frank Ochiltree was killed by George Graham at Comstock's mill on Pass creek. Och iltree was screw turner at the mill and Graham was edger. The former was in the habit of going to the latter's house, though warned to keep away. On the morning of the 4th Graham went out hunting, and on his return found Och iltree at his house. Ochiltree started to run; Graham told him to stop. He paid no attention to Graham but kept on,;when Graham fired at the retreating man with a Henry rifle, tho ball from which penetrated his body, killing him instantly.

COURTESY OF BANCROFT LIBRARY, V UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA . Washington Letter. Washington, D.C. , Dec. 21, 1877. The adjournment of Congress with the consequent hegira of members, and he hordes of lobbyists.for their homes, restores our city to its characteristic quietude. Saturday last was a gala day in the House, for the Republicans had it all their own way. That charitably inclined political saint, Mr. Wood, of New York, be bought it a good thing for his party and tho nation, that his resolutions Iookiug to universal and everlasting investigation of the execu tive department should be adopted, and therefore from pure goodness of heart, had all public business laid aside that I the proper vote should be had. But he counted without his host, as he had not enough of his brethren with him to j make a quorum, and the Republicans , had the hardness of heart to decline to serve such purpose. Little Boo Peep lost his sleep; as had Fernando, and like Boo Peep he came to grief. The Republicans interposed dilatory motions and refusing to vote thereon, the roll call showed "no qnornni,"thns putting Mr. Wood between -XLe upper and tho nether mill stone. Ho kept up his hopeless fight till after 3 o'clock, when he threw up the sponge, acd consenting that his resolutions should go over till Jan. 10, an adjournment was soon effect ed. It was intensely amusing to note the squirming of the discomfited Democrats. They hod determined to cast out a drag net over every department, and fish in every cranny and pigeon-hole for some thing calculated to give comfort to the expectant Democrats of the country, and it was mortifying indeed that Re publican generalship should prevent accomplishment of their nice little scheme. Several times since Oct. 15 have hard blows been dealt them, and this was the "unkindest cut of all." A belligerent member, Mr. White, of Pa., in his wrath, wanted all tho Republican members consigned to the Tombs by the Seageant-at-Arms, because he said there they sat witl their mouths shut, thus making constructively no quorum, while every one h the hall could see them in their seat). We are not so sure that all the Denocrat3 could see so clearly as Mr. Wlite, as it was evident that some of .the members had been in dulging in "cole tea," "roast apples," or other articles - hat tend to liy to the head," or make one sleepy, and thereby dim the eye sigit. Mr. White's col leagues laughed heartily at his absurdi ties, and one of tuem, Mr. Savior, from Ohio, reminded Lim of the homely ad age of leading a aorse to the water and being unable to mako him drink. Mr. Randall left the el.air at one time and went among the Republicans. He, like baj lor.apparently enjoyed the situation as a huge joke; such a one as he played on the Republicins in his memorable fight upon the force bill, and in which he handled his Democratic forces with such superb skill and generalship. though in a decided minority at the time. But ht could not now give his brethren any comfort tinder the turned 1 tables, and there was nothing left them but surrender. The Senate had had its fight, and after an hour or two of de sultory proceedings, adjourned, hence midnight founl the Capitol like Tara's Hall, deserted. Our streets ire thronged with people 'luisied Avith preparations for Christinas. Our shops and stores have put on their brightest holilay attire, and old and young, white and colored, are in full enjoyment of rtght-seeing.for our whole populace seeus out of doors. Every where in the s?nth Christmas has a pe culiar significance which wo never met" in the north. ,Ihe last week of the year was, in old shvery times, by universal custom, given to the slaves, and so com pletely did Christinas and the succeed ing days belong to hini, that no one, save tho exceptional tyrant whoso hard ened heart cut him off from all human izing influences, dared impose any bur dens of labor upon him, tho slave. On Christmas Evo he began his week's round of pleasures. With his banjo he could serenade his dusky ladylove, and join in the daace, not only on his own plantation, but that of his neighbors, undisturbed by those influences which mar.e him truly a slave the other weeks of tho year. His time now was his own, and right jollily did he use it, for there never was a race of people more light hearted and fonder of Christmas gaities than these slaves. Whatever burdens weighed them down at other seasons, it was cheerily put aside during tho holi days, and as forgetful of past cares and sorrows as children, they, heart and soul, gave themselves completely up to their pleasures. During tho war we noticed this turning of the contrabands mind to Christmas, as tho Mohomaden turns to tho east, and several years of subsequent experience among tho freed men enabled us to observe this peculi arity much more freely and extensively. Though hard times presses sorely upon our freedmen, yet they never get so poverty stricken and so deep in want as to forge some kind of recognition of Christmas, and in the extreme south, upon the cotton plantation, where he is more cut off from contact with the whites than here, he dictates the week pretty much as before the war, to his own amusement. Tho telephone is in successful prac tical operation between Police Head quarters and the Insane Asylum, a dis tance of 8 miles, nearly one-third of which the wire runs under water. So well pleased are the officials with its workings that the removal of the tele graphic instruments will soon occur' from all the police stations, effecting a saving of several thousand dollars an nually. One of our citizens was killed yester day by the cars a few miles from the city, while crossing the track in a bug gy." As he was warned by the flagman not to cross, the engineer was exonerat ed from blame by the coroner. One of our most promising young artists, Mr. Frank Hickey, was buried yesterday. His paintings in oil evince rare merit, though he is but 21 years of age. Junius. Mrs. Wells, the widow of DrTWeiTs formerly of the Umpqua, was engaged in nursing a sick lady at North Bend, Coos Bay, and on the .30th nit., while she was sitting before the fire with a cotton quilt wrapped about her, her garments caught fiae.and before it could be extinguished . she was burned so severely that sho died next morning. A young man named Louis Hoosier, who lives just cast of Eugene, while out hunting last week, slipped and fell, dis charging his gun; the ball just grazed his neck, cutting a gash about three inches long.
