The House Investigation.
,The attempt being made by the Pot
ttr.Committeo to reopen tlio strife and
contention about the rightful Presi
dential incumbent will if pushed to
.". .the extent the rabid Jacobins of the
House are capable of carrying it re
salt in such agitation throughout the
country' aa will again paralyze the re
euming arteries of industry, stagnate
tbe avenues of trade and commerce.and
- oper to our future another long dreary
outlook of misery and woe, such as the
last strife was the precursor and pro
genitor of. After the arbitration of the
ohosen fifteen whose decision both par
ties gave acquiescence to in advance,
" nothing but treachery of the darkest
and most rpreheiisible character could
impel anroni to selt the overthrow of
this 6o11t plighted adjudication.
Kaving ben parties to the compact,
ihej now forswear themselves and per
jury is clearly the imprimis of the pro
ceedings initiated by the Democrats in
' the House; beyond and behind this at-
. tempt lies chaos and the dark nlsht of
uncertainty and gloom into which tbe
country will be plunged by the agita
tion. The intricate machinery of the Elec
toral College, which for the purpose of
expressing the will of a majority is a
patent and plain fraud, ought to be
torn out root and branch and a means
adopted by which the choice of the
people might be ascertained without
subjecting it to the uncertainties that
now surround it. "We would advise
the members of that committee to unite
to recommend some means to simplify
the matter for the future, leaving the
past to bury its dead and sow good
seed for tho coming harvest rather than
dragon's teth for the past. There
was an evenly divided difference of
opinion as to the result of the last
Presidential election, and in order to
allay excitement and prevent an immi
nent civil war the Electoral Commis
eion of Fifteen was created, to whom
as a committee of public safety the
diverse interests of the contestants were
given to decide between them. Any
attempt to disturb that verdict is revo
lutionary and consequently void, and it
is not to be presumed that the present
" incumbent will submit to any tamper
ing with the fee simple of his office.
The following is an extract from an
open letter from Hon. A. H. Stephens,
of Georgia, to Mr. Potter, who is act
ing as catspaw for Sammy Tilden:
But I have no time to say more at
present, except to add that I do look

it will lead to the Mexicanization of our

Portland.
Eve,
Council of the Powers.
The vote cast in Portland on June
3d demonstrates beyond a doubt that
the city is rapidly growing; a superfi
cial survey would substantiate this to
a looker on, but there is a feeling ex
tant in rival towns that, owing to
proximity to their own emporium.Port
land id beginning to deteriorate and de
cay. Thirty-two hundred votes cast on
election- day will measurably calm their
apprehensions. The fact is that Port
land's geographical position is such
that she never can have a rival north of
San Francisco, and she is destined to
bo only second to that city in popula
tion as she now is in commercial enter
prise and volume. A glance at the
map of the world will demonstrate that
all the largest commercial cities are
where situated on water-ways located
at the head of ship navigation, the
greater number of " exceptions being
where they are located higher up and
beyond the point of deep water ship
navigation. Hamburg and Bremen in
Germany, Bicbmond and Mobile in the
United States, and Paris in France are
a few citations of this last named fea
X P 1 1 - M .
mre w location, ana tuo maps are
bristling with the names of cities which
have have been given a leading charac
ter as marine ports by dredging and
otherwise improving the rivers on
which they are situated. We mention
Philadelphia, New Orleans, Liverpool,
London and Glasgow as cities of this
kind, so that by the parallelism of
the map wo find Portland to be in good
company.
We occasionally meet an enthusiast
who lives in expectancy of seeing not
only the products of the upper Colum
bia but of tho Willamette Vallev also
seeking foreign shipment by the way of
the Sound. This belief borders on
lunacy; a dozen railroads running from
the Sound country into Eastern Oregon
would be of no avail to detract the
main volume Oi freight sliinmpnf. W
the water way of the Columbia river.
The time is not distant before freight
will be transported either wav between
Portland and Umatilla at S-t per ton,
and pay a round profit to the forward
ers. It is not possible that freight
over the mountains to Seattle can be
carried for so small a sum of money.
It must also be remembered a
fact not generally known that Walla
Walla is almost directly east of the
month of the Columbia river, being
however rather south of east. Seattle
is 140 miles north of Portland; taking
Walla Walla, Portland and Seattle as I
the three corners of a right angled tri
angle it will be observed that the dis
tance is materially less from Walla
Walla to Portland than Seattle, the long
est leg of the triangle being from Walla
Walla to Seattle. It is generally pre

sumeu mat me vvaiia w ana country is
nearer the Sound country than to Tort
land, but this is a serious mistake as
our illustration demonstrates. Taking
all these circumstances into count we
can but iterate that Portland like a "fat
duck sitting on the pearly edge of
prosperity," already taking under her
wings the business of the north, east,
south and west, will expand with the
growth of the country and develop into
a commercial city which will put San
Francisco to the test for the champion
ship, ihe extent of fertilo territory
tributory to it exceeds that at the back
of the Golden City; the only element
now warning o enaoie us to success
fully compete and which is being fast
supplied population when equalized
with that at tho back of San Francisco,
will make the contest interesting and
of doubtful issue, with the chances in
favor of victory blazoned on the ban
it. , ...

Yvashington Letter.
We believe now that the treachery of
the Oregonian, altho' thwarted at home,
has resulted in turning the heads of a
few simpletons like Scott, who have, in
doubtful districts, been numerous
enough to accomplish the ruin of the
Republican party, that it is time the.
party should give that paper a touch of
the same quietus it has exerted itself to
administer to the party. Nursed in the
lap of Republicanism, it grew with the
growth of the party, and, becoming in
solent and overbearincr in its prosper
ity, under the direction of the two ven
omous, snarling hybrids, Hill and
Scott, it assumes to have grown greater
than its creator. It affects to have
thrown off its swaddling cloths, and im
agines it wears breeches as broad as
Scott's. (Its range does seem to cover as
much latitude and longitude.) Now, as
we said two weeks ago, tbe Oregonian
is supported almost wholly and exclu
sively by Republican patronage. The
Oregonian, by reason of this, has been
enabled to procure a monopoly of the
associated press dispatches, and is tbe
only preeent medium of news from tho
outside world, in Oregon.

The German note of invitation to En

which is explained to mean " a free dis
cussion of the whole of the contents of
that treaty." Russia, Germany, France,

The Democracy should constantly re
member that the electoral
which seated President Hayes was a
Democratic scheme passed by Demo
cratic votes, and met with nearly all
the opposition it received, from Repub
licans. The party goes back on its rec
ord and stultifies itself in the estima
tion of honorable men. That the party
leaders were disannointfl in tl.
is no doubt true, but this will not help
mem out of a treachernna miairt,,;
-1 j
into which they have been driven by a
unprincipled lead-
few ambitious and
ers.
The New York Tribune says: " The
Solid South has cut itself off from all
claim to the magnanimous treatment for
a long time to come. By its own con
fession Hayes has done more to pacify
and rebuild it than Tildea could have
done had he been President; and yet at
the first opportunity it turns
to supplant Hayes by Tilden, at the
risk of throwing the whole country
into a revolution. Aside from the reck
less dishonesty of this conduct, it is
the blackest specimen of ingratitude
this generation has seen."
A Washington dispatch of Juue 11th
says the Senute appropriation for a
canal uronnd the Cascades on tho Co
lumbia has been increased from 75,000
to 8200,000". ..
Tho New York Sun opeply declares
that tho object of tho Congressional in
vestigation is to unseat President
Hayes.

Umatilla Independent: Wheat sown
on fresh lands in the Greenwood settle
ment is now presenting a fine appear
ance on lands that were once supposed
to be worthless for any other purposes
than for grazing. The settlers are well
pleased with their future prospects, so
much that tuey have encouraged a
number of their friends East to emi

Three thousand people were in at

gusted with its course, and who grudg
ingly give it every cent of patronage it
now enjoys. (We refer to Republicans.)
So far as our information goes, this
feeling is not confined wholly to this
locality: it is general; and, if any res
ponsible parties desire it, they can se
cure the pledge of a transfer of nine
tenths of the Vreaonian patronage, on

Over and out of the ruin of this
whilom Republican organ, a newspaper,
true to its party , can spring up like Miner
va from the brain of Jupiter, and the
Oregonian will shrivel down to the pro
portion of an O. S. Ni Co. hand organ;
and poor bcott ! a dried up mummy,
fresh from his mausoleum, would not
be half -so attenuated. Nevertheless
we would vouchsafe him enough
strength to enable him to ' pass the

with his support.
Washington, (D. C.) May 24, '78.
It is refreshing to note the great
change in tone which has taken place
ip tha u Iterances tt the Dtrjocrat3
since ?oa tix-eK. 'Ihey roaras'rnadly
now as sucking doves; and as we listen
we feel that, from some cause or other.
they are not half as courageous as
wnen the hotter resolutions were nrst
broached. Secretary Sherman's bold
charge of forgery has aroused a general
suspicion that somebody has been bad
ly duped, through pretended letters,
held by lying swindlers, who will not
be found at the time when needed to
convict Mr. Sherman, hence the damp
ened ardor of the resurrectionists, who
evidently wish they had not put their
foot in it so deeply. Nor are these im
maculate pafties as sangnine to-day as
when Sam Randall dictated redisrict
ing, as to the great blessings which are
to flow from tho recent gerrymandering
of Ohio. We hear them say the game
is great, and worthy of assuming large
risks to secure both tbe Houses, through
Ohio gains. . and tbe ousting of Mr
Hayes. Yet a few weeks since these
bold fellows entertained no idea of risk.
because they evidently believed the
gerrymander and adoption of the Pot
ter resolutions were all that was needed
to wipe out the Republicans and bring
on the democratic salvation and millen-
ium.: Falstaff' promised his followers
booty: so does Potter; but should he
and his rag-mffins mellow down in the
future as rapidly as in the past week.
we feel assured the booty will prove as
valueless to their party as the results of
Glover's investigations, or the mare's-
nests discoveries of the 44th Congress
Sunset Cox wanted an ameudment to the
army bill, prohibiting enlisted musi
cians from engaging in musical per
formances for civilians. The rule has
been to allow them to hire out their
services whenever their military duties
permitted; and by these means the
army has always been able to secure
the best of musicians. Mr. Cogger
Killed this mean and pitiful amend
ment by a question: Would it not
serve as a precedent to bar Congress
men, who receive SoOOO a vear, from
going out on lecturing tours?" Sammy
wilted, as he always does when Conger
goes for him with his sarcasm. The
Marine Band here has alwavs been
i i - . . -
ireeiy employed in our civic proces
sions until recentlv when Democratic
antipathies interposed. Now the wives
of sever&I of the musicians have peti
tions for the discharge of their hus
bands, on the ground that the pay of
$45 per month would not support their
lamilies, and that they were enlisted
under the promise of permission to
play on the outside whenever their mil
itary duties did not prevent. It seems
difficult to conceive a more contemnti
ble piece of demagognery than this at
tempted by Mr. Cox. and we feel
prouder than ever of our sarcastic
Conger.
The new War Department building is
slowly ajiproachmg completion, and
will by Dext "Fall be readv for occu
paney by both the War and Navy De
partments. It should have been fin
ished last vear but for Democratic
economy, which prevented tho requi
site appropriations. As soon as the
Secretary of War moves into his new
quarters tho old building will be at
once torn down, so that the work on tbe
north wing of the new inav be com
menced. The real beauty and nronor
tions of the new structure can now be
appreciated, and it must rank as su
perjor in every aesthetic respect over
any other of our public buildings.
unless we except the Postofilce Denart-
. -
ment. it, however, is so completely
hedged in by private houses, and lack
of grounds and surroundings, that its
real beauty is lost to a great extent, and
few give it more than a passing glance,
as they turn to admire the Patent
Office across the street, whose large
proportions completely overshadow the
rival.
Tho Southern Pacific railroad aroused
some excitment recently by its replies
before the Senate military committee to
the charges made by its opponents. It
reiterates its . former assertions that it
will extend its road from Fort Yuma to
the Mississippi river, if permitted, and
that without subsidy cr land; hence we
are more narrowly than ever confined
down to tbe two propositions, one- of
letting a railroad be built by one cor
poration without cost to ourselves; the
other of paying 15,000 per mile to
another for the same work. Congress
may accept the latter course, but the
people won't, for we cannot see the ne
cessity of tbe Government advancing
even one dollar in the premises, much
less than $15,000 a mile. The Southern
Pacific offers to
roads, that the Texas
