THIKSDAV, JtSII 29. 1S78. ! The Locks at the Cascades. Senator Mitchell succeeded in getting the appropriation in aid of the locks at the Cascades increased from 75,000 to $150,000 in the appropriation bill which lias just passed the two Ilouses, nud which now only awaits the President's signature to become a law. Wo think we see a tendency to delay and ob struct the procuring of the right of way around the said portages which is the last refuge of the O. S. N. Co. to preserve their hold of power in the Upper Columbia country. Wo there fore hope there will be no effort spared by tho proper authorities to hasten tho matter in the courts, as all unexpended balances of appropriation revert to the treasury at the close of each fiscal year. It is therefore possible by delaying the matter in the courts, so the Govern ment engineer cannot proceed with the work, that none of this magnificent gift can be used Icv-tlm purposes intend ed. This appropriation, with tho S90, 000 previously appropriate J, aide J by another one as large, if judiciously ex pended, will complete that work. We reason from the fact that the lock3 at Oregon City, overcomes as much fall as is necessary at the Cascades, they are &3 long (some 1,000 feet) ; and were put through a much harder rock at Oregon City than exists at tho Cascades, and required much deeper average ex cavation. Their cost did not exceed over $100,000; and wo thereforo feel that wo are justified in the belief that thoaa at the Cascades should cost more, unless red tape and t Govern mental formula is brorV,. 0 i,car to unnecessarily ;,;cC.r it construction , lud burden its cost. A practical scien tific contractor liko Dave Thompson would undertake the construe.' Yin of such u work for $o00,00-. aUlj make money out of it; iina wo believe con tractors should bo permitted to build the same, as it will be done much quicker, and more economically than if (lovcn'meut engineers arc permitted to triangulate each stone, and reduce to its conic sections every rock t lint goes into tho walls. That is tho usual style of the Government engineer, and it will bo a ton years' job for them if, unhap pilv, Uncle fc'am concludes it must Lc built by his own servants. 1 " Stewart's Women's Hotel. After a thorough trial, it is announced that the exclusive feature of a women's hotel, established by the munificence of Stewart, Las been abandoned it hav ing been found that women will not herd toge '.:;:! by themselves liko that biped brute of ! ou -u:au, but in sist on beir0' accoit:e, and contiguous to the opposite ecx; and, hankering after his companionship, will rather cling to the old order of things than to bo shut up in the gilded cage erected by Stewart for their separate and ex ln f.ive entertainment. This trait of char acter will prove a stumbling block and obstruction to the arguments and ideas of the strong minded of tho Susan 1). Anthony sort, who have insisted on the theory of woman's sturdy independ ence, their unfaltering and uncom promising reliance upon themselves, and their failure to discover what pur pose in divino or domestic economy, man was made to tuliil. But it is likely that they will flourish their um brellas obstinately in the face of tho fact above enunciated, and declare it is without significance, and does nothing to controvert the theories of the strong minded- We would, therefore, recom mend to meek, patient, forgiving man not to broach the real reason why Stew art'a hotel is shut up for the feminine single when he encounters one of tho stony-hearted Susan sort. He had bet ter insist that it is closed because of the measles or mumps, or some other harmless inocuous complaint which is not calculated to upset her equanimity, nor trench on her pet theory of woman ly independence. Under such circum stances mild equivocation is better than to encounter a storm of indignation, which gives no hope of getting in the last word, and leaves you wrecked in tho midst of vehement strong-minded protestation. " Be all things to all men," and. especially, all things to all women of this class but, in the midst of it all. preserve, a wink to tho know ing. Dry "Weather Crops ami Trices. Wo are having a long sell of dry weather, which is producing a disas trous effect to tho late sown grain, and unless we are soon favored with a dis pensation of Jupite r IUuvius will result in a very serious diminishing of the Oregon wheat erop. If a short crop befall us we can console ourselves with tho probabilities of low prices for grain as an offset, which now, from the peaceable European outlook, seems in evitable Wheat in San Francisco, just beginning to arrive, is selling at S1.G5 to cl 70 per cental, with a lower range cf oilers for July delivery. With this as a criterion, it is not safe to estimate wheat at over 1.50 per cental.in Port land, or ninety ceuts per bushel, sacked and delivered, which, to an average up-country farmer, means about Beventy-five cents per bushel freight, sacks and agency expenses being deducted from therortland figure. If any thing can console the farmer for this, it will bo the reflection that, for two years past, the necessities of other lands have enabled him to sell his wheat for ouo dollar per bushel, which 13 a fcgnre calculated to m ike average grangers smile all over their faces, aSd half wav down tliir li-. iii.i The Assessment Law. The Locks Law. i Tlie Conference of the Powers. I There pretty general call for somo legislation looking to a change or ! modification of tue assessment Jaws whereby there can be an arrival at a more equitable and fr-ir basis of assess ment of the "just ami unjust" in Ore gon. Some advocate an assessment of all in sight without an abatement for in debtedness; this would work .1 great measure of injustice to the debtor classes, and is a species of wrong which the courts should not tolerate, it being contrary to the idea of equal and exact assessment contemplated by the law. It is a feature of reasouin.cr calculated to make the rich richer, and the jioor poorer, and would result to restrict en terprise, cenfine effort and paralyze commercial and manufacturing indus try, where so hampered and burdened. It is ialse reasoning, unfair discrimina tion, and a forgotting of the ethics of the golden rule which inclines any ono to advocate against tho deduction of legitimate indebtedness. Still thero is too much latitude in our present law which enables tho debtor to escape a critical inquiry as to whom ho owes, whero is tho creditor resident, and the amounts owing to each creditor, which should be corrected, and a system of checks and balances instituted whereby a man's assessment should be made to square with the statement. For in stance if A rejiorts that he owes B and C 1,000 each, who reside in Clackamas county, and D 81,500, who lives in Marion county, it should bo nif1 h0 duty of the assessor r tLat rTd C are assess OOO each on account o 01 A, and he should be required td not ify the assessor of Marion county that A reports owing X cf that county 1,500, which t'ao assessor of Marion county i-y.ist sco is assessed to P. Our present loss of assessable propor- t tv docs not lie in the i!e:.i of 'ufouc- ti for tii(l.ritxlnes.v" so much as in the column of "Jlihts due and to become due," and it is the people who evade strict accountability for the las? item who must be legislated against rather than tho first. The remedy lies in legislation for a sworn statement from every propi riy hoMer, bank, banker, corporation com pany and institution of deposit, on a given day, showing a detailed state ment of assessable properly on hand, and debts du or to become due. against which should come the offsot of indebtedness owing to tho detailed list of creditors with their several places of resilience. Against the requiromei.t cf a accountability like the foregoing tiiet is a and .nor a?id hue and cry that it mqtus: to.-ial ill's 1 and ovlious. e answer t ti a t a m is iin inqui.--.itor, and any fai. just statement ho may make uancial condion to tho asse of 1. 1 s u- ;sor is no less inquisitorial in its results than the sworn statement which should be re quired under tho amendment to the law wo h.'.ve proposed. It is a plea to afford tho skulker, natural liar and equivocator to hide behind a sentiment which the man of honor disdains, and tho person must be eyed with suspicion whoso only plea is that a requirement of this kind is inquisitorial; besides we contend that it is tho duty and office of an assessor to be an inquisitor; the fabric of the law is built up to cm power officials to administer it to the ends of justice and the greatest enemy society has to contend against is the evader of his taxes, so that if the assess or has not now tho authority under the law, it should at once be given him to be an inquisitor of the most penetrating kind; he will have only to use his au thority against such suspected classes as a justice of the peace can issue a search warrant agaiust, who would just as loudly declaim against a violent stretch of the authority of state which enables the constable to search for the stolen pork as tho tax evader, who ha3, under tho present looso adjustment of tho machinery of the assessment law hidden away tho bulk of his assessable property. Let us amend tho law to catch the creditor classes, rather than to pile on a heavier burden on the debtor. The theory of no deduction for in debtedness will not reach the evil of unequal assessments, but will rather add to it; but the law requiring a sworn exibit at a given time, under severe penalties for a failure to con form, will produce the proper remedy at once, and thus cure what is a radical ly existing evil in onr assessment law. The peace of tho country is the first consideration of patriots. This new effort of the Democracy to inaugurate anarchy and Mexieanize the govern ment by throwing doubts upon the le getimacy of the title of the President is in keeping with tho records of that party, ono wing of which rebelled against the government, while the other wing gave their aid and comfort. Ad dress of the liepuhlican Congressional Committee. The latest news from the Indian war reports the savages slaughtering cattle in tli6 vicinity of Camp Harney, and the people at that post are in great danger of being captured and massa cred. Gen. Howard is in the field with a force of S50 men, which is con sidered inadequate to cope with the hostiles, who number about GOO, and are receiving accessions daily. The situation is critical, and it will cost many lives before the Indians are sub dued. j . Two tloiinn? muls are Bern; near Fdrna, in Chehahs county. built i3 a The law enacted by the Legislature two years ago was all very well as far as it went, but it failed to create a lia bility for damages to the State for fail uro to conform to its provisions, and so we find that the W. II. T. & L. Co., the present owners of the works, have re sisted the Commissioners in all that class of requirements from the owners for which damages were not prescribed by tho law. The Commissioners have thereforo had a continual strife and contention with tho Company, to in duce them to obey the law in all its particulars; tbey pursued them from one court to another, always gaining the victory and only balked by the law's delays from a final consumma tion of the decree of the highest court. This was procured some six mocths ago and the Commissioners have been using the time in the interval rtp to a month ago in coaxing and threatening tho corporation to return tho manifests of freight for each trip of boats oper ated by them for which the Company stood delinquent for a year and a half. They succeeded ih this about a month ago after five months of contumacy before tho courts this high toned cor poration acquiesced in tho law and the manifests were mado out. The Com missioners then made a demand on the Company for tho ten per cent, of tho gross proceeds of tho Company .0 the school fund per 'je tenns"07tho charter, wca accorjing to the ac c'.unt of the Commissioners amounts to seven or eight thousand dollars. Af ter a serious length of time the Com pany answer that there is nothing to the credit of tho school fund and inti mate in effect that thero has been no gros3 proceeds. As U. B. Scott & Co. and Cochran & Co. have jointly paid them thousands of dollars this is a magnificent lie, but wo infer from what they say, thut the Company do not re quire payment of fifty cents per ton for freight passed through the Locks on their own boats, ar.d by this subter fuge are endeavoring to evade any con siderable payment to the school fund. Their arrogant pretensions must be met in the next Legislature by addi tions to the present law by which an exemplary 2cnalfy shall forfeit to the State for each refusal of tho Company to comply with a requirement of the Commissioners founded in law, and an i enact men: that all rates of toll shall be j uniform and cqu;d to the different car j riers, so if tho Company are moved to eairv their own freights free that thev sdudl cxte:;.l Hie same gallantry to their rivals. There i b:;t that tho lav :; of the Lock prevented ti; .-1 1 and saved tho farmers of t'.io Wiih'tuetle Valley fi';v; an odious a: .1 extol lionaie-frc-ight combination which had boon entered iito by tho co-conspirators; and the Commissioners '"thouerh battled oft Lave over won" they have had an incessant light on their hands. The owners of the Locks are so related and blended with the owners of tho O. S. N. Co. that the tyranny of tho one has its reflex in tho obstinacy of the other, the difference being that ono under the restraint of tho law is mulish, and the other now so arrogant is only waiting to be bridled which it should be the 2rovince of tho next Legislature to do. The Commissionersjire entitled to the thanks of tho people for their earnest and prolonged fight against tho most powerful monopoly north of California, and it is a source of gratification to know that the will of tho people when prof)erhy directed is superior to the plans aud combinations of monopolists. The Halifax Award. As we predicted a few weeks ago, after tLe fog bouse of the Senate got through with a necessary amount of gush and gasconade, they referred tho payment of the five and one-balf mil lion dollars' award for tho Canadian fisheries arbitration to President nayes, and the Cabinet recommending its payment, if, in their judgment, tho National honor demanded it. Thero is no doubt but that wo were egre giously swindled in the finding, but, having gone into the arbitration, it would illustrate the worst kind of dis honor to crawiish from its payment. While it may do to disregard our treaty obligations to Indians, aud minor nations, it will not answer so well to put our dereliction square in the light of the highest civilization of Europe, and particularly with a power of tho size cf Great Rritiau. And so, after Scott's pet, Rlaine, and that other dem agogue, Oglesby, got through with their fanfaronade, combined with ground and lofty tumbling, tho Senate, under the cooler inspiration of Bayard, Thur nian, ?IcMillan and Hoar, voted to obey the ordinary instinct of personal honor, and abide by tho result of the arbitra tion. A class of humbugs liko Blaine, Oglesby, Howe and Hamlin, who are always found raising a hornets' nest on all questiou.3 of National politj-, just for their love of a ruction, do more to give color to the instability of Repub lics than all other causes combined. They are the froth which rises above the sedate, solid common fense of the Senate; aud while seeming to give color to legislation, dissipate before the cooler judgment of statesmen whose wisdom Ihvdly prevails ever tLe vagaries of the Hotsnnrs of the Senate. The vole of Umatilla county shows a larger aggregate pain than any county yet reported. The total veto is now l.Ct'51. Tor President, ia November, 1S7G, it was 1270. At the instance and invitation of Ger many, the several powers that are pre sumed to hold the destiny of Europe under official supervision, were invited to meet in Berlin on the 13th of this month, to take into consideration the situation relative to the llussian tri umph over Turkey; and to what extent, if any, the treaty of San Stefano shall be modified. It is called in tho inter est of pacification of the several dis gruntled nations, whose interests are supposed fo be imperiled by the result of the war. It is fortunate for the pros pect of a peaceful termination of the crisis that the objections to the treaty are founded on different reasons by the principal objectors, Austrian interests being totally diverse and foreign to tho paramount objection of England. Un der such circumstances the Russians can afford to conciliate one, and thus destroy tho prospect of an alliance to contest with them the substantial fruits of the victory. It may bo found, how ever, as the result of tho conference, that England, Austria, Italy and France aro all opposed to Russian territorial acquisition, aud will insist in sending them back to their previous lines of limit, and interpose a government under tho protection of tho pfct'esaiJ in lieu of Turkish ;cKOray over Bouma n3., Lufg'aria, Servia aud Montenegro, leaving but a small slice of land to t::o Turks in Europe of their grand posses sions before the war. Nothing but the projection of a government of this kind, under the guarantee of the powers will save tho ultimate acquirement of all this territory to Russia, including Constantinople. This would make her such a Colossus that all the balance of Europe would scarcely be a match to contend with her in any subsequent em broilment. It will make her a nation of over one hundred million inhabit ants, mid there is plenty of cause for the alarm actively felt by England and Austria over the .situation. If II ussi.a ac quires the practical control of the Turk ish provinces named, Austria would be completely enveloped and surrounded by an anaconda whoso tightening folds would soon be-.viu to bo felt on its south and west, while Prussian cords bind it tightly on the north aud east. She would finally be choked to death, and Russia and Prussia will divide tho spoils. As for England, with Russian acquisition of tho Turkish provinces, there is tho danger of a naval power being built up, (they then being in un disputed possession of the Black sfa) whi-";li will spoodily grow into rivalry wi'.h her own, and '.so eclipse English doraknitt'-n of the s-.ea-, which is all that gives England tho proruin-mce that she iso w enjoy:;. So that England and Austria are much exercised at the situ ation of affairs, and wo expect to seo a prolonged sitting of the conference, and vc ry skillful diplomatic ; maneuver ing cf the agents of the interested par ties before a conclusion is finally ar rived at. We believe it wiil result in a peaceful termination, but thero may grow out of it one of the grandest con tests the world hai ever seen, as the in terests at stake involve the ultimate life or death of Austria, aud the final eclipso of tho star of English supre macy in the councils of Euroe DTsra eli deems it of so much importance that ho goes himself as one of tho represent atives of his government to the confer ence.
