OREGON CITY, THURSDAY, JOE 27. 1873.
The New Route to the Sea Hoard.
By reason of the construction of the
jetties at the mouth of the Mississppi
by Engineer Eads it is now morally
certain that sufficient depth will be at
tained there to . enable ordinary sized
and draft vessels to ascend to New
Orleans. Already vessels drawing 20
feet are enabled to pass over the bar,
and Eads guarantees 22 feet when ln3
system is completed. The effect of this
achievement ha3 as yet scarcely dawned
nn the mind of the people, bat its re
sult is far 'reaching and will in effect
change the commercial dependencies of
half the continent. It is safe to say
that all the products west of the Mis
sissippi river and very much contigu
ous, to Hid river on the east will in
future reach its ultimate market by the
way of the mouth of the Mississippi
ratbertban as previously byjthe different
rutes to the East by the wayof Chicago,
Milwankie and the railroads direct to
New York, Boston and Baltimore. The
reason for this graud revolution in
transportation movement is found in
the cheaper means of getting freight to
the sea board than by the older routes.
A ton of freight may now be moved
from St. Louis to New Orleans for
about tho same charge aa it takes to
get the same amount from St. Louis to
Chicago or Milwaukie; the freight"
n.oved Jto New Orleans is then at the
sea board while that at tho first named
porta is still over a thousand miles
from the sea board by the most direct
railroad route. "The longest pole
knocks the persimmon," and summing
it all up in a nut-shell, it is certain that
the products of all that vast country
can reach the foreign or 6ven New
York markets cheaper by several c nts
per bu ihel by the Mississippi than by
any of the other routes. This is a
factor which prevails over every other
consideration. A difference of a cent
per bushel will turn the freight move
ment, no matter how deep the groove
or how ancient the pathway to the
"cheaper route, and by f reason of the
possibility of deep sea lading at New
Orleans the problem is solved in favor
of the water route. Tho ascendancy of
St. Louis over its great whilom rival,
Chicago, will -from this time become
marked and permanent; the city near
est the grain fields wins, and the future
of New Orleans is now one of the
grandest that it is possible to imagine.
In fifty years it will doubtless rival
New .York in population, and much
sooner than that will equal it in ex
tent of commercial business.
Oregon Shipments via Puget
Sound.
We observe that in n lne number of
the British Colonist, the Kanucks are
felicitating themselves that they will
catch some of the crumbs of prosperity
that will fall from the table of Paget
Bound's greatness when Oregon pro
ducts will be shipped across there for
foreign shipment, in order to avoid the
dangers of the Columbia river bar. We
advise tho people of that district not to
give up clam-digging, saw-logging, and
hoop-pole manufacturing to await for
this new era in their future, which will
make such minor occupations useless,
for Gabriel's trumpet will summon the
"just and the unjust" to final judg
ment beforo such , a consummation.
All the shipments that section of coun
try will ever get from the Columbia
river basin will be the flour, pork,
butter and eggs needed there to keep
its inhabitants on a solid diet; "thus far
willwe go, but no farther."
The Oregon vote approximated 34,
000 at the last election, which demon
strates that year by year we are as
cending the numercial ladder, and, ere
while, will be in respectable company
of older States as to population.
With the rate of increase maintained for
the next two years, our count will not
fall far short of two hundred thousand,
and the census-taking at that time will
demonstrate how nearly we are correct.
Oregon's increase has been very slow,
probably less in proportions than any
other State or Territory, but it is a
source of satisfaction to know that it
has been regular, 'although materially
accelerated within two years past. An
important iactor in increased immigra
tion within the time named, has been
the drouth year in California, and the
long-continued opposition between the
two rival steamship competitors plying
between San Francisco aud Portland,
who brought passengers for a nominal
sum. The opportunity was eagerly
availed of by thousands, who found no
avenues of profitable employment in
California. The vast hosts thus
brought to our shores have filtered
themselves through every nook and
corner of our State, and the only
means of discovering an apparent in
crease is by reference to the vote. All
indications point to a continuance of
the tidal sweep, and, as by the census
of 1S70, it was found we had one white
person to each square mile of onr terri-
tory, so now we can almost confidently
claim two white persons instead; this
denotes a healthy growth, and shows
that we are on the road to final empire
on the North Pacific coast. The time
is fast approaching when we will kick
ct the colonial and dependency re'a
lion we bear to California. The begin
ning is already made, and tho end will
come with the completion of a railroad
connecting us direcUy with the East.
We pray the fates to hasten the event.
Our Nayy or Rather Our Want of
a nary.
In a speech made by Congressman
Harris, of Massachusetts, in the House,
3ay 20th, the surprising fact is made
evident that Uncle Sam's sea-going
craft, or war vessels fit for service,
comprises but forty-threo vessels, of
which fourteen are iron-clads, carrying
two guns each, and only fit for river
and harbor service; and 29 are vessels
second, third and fourth rates, carrying
all told 221 guns. To this beggarly ar
ray have we come nnder the benefisent
reign of Ulysses and his right-hand
robber, Hobeson. If anything can il
lustrate the ramping rascality of naval
administration, which somehow got
through with an average of twenty
three million dollars a year for tho past
eight years, this inventory of the
things on hand should furnish suffi
cient evidence. Probably a greater
scoundrel and villain than Robeson
never became the chosen head of any
department in modern days. Pecula
tion, fraud, f robbery and theft has
been the order of the day in every
ramification of the department. The
Government would do well to sell or
burn every navy yard of its own it has
everywhere, and so get rid of the un
savory smell of Robeson. If the
wants of the navy were advertised and
given to the lowest bidder, we could
save two-thirds of the expense usually
involved in Uncle Sam's doing the
work through his agents. .We could
get our iron-clads built for us for 100
per ton, ready" for sea, and capable
of steamiDg sixteen knots per hour
iho itussian uovernment snow sense
ana judgment wiien tiiey- want a
cruiser: they come over to Philadel
phia and find an iron ship there under
construction, for use in mercantile
service to and from our own shores;
They find her swift, and every way
adapted for war work, and they buy her
at a cost not to exce'ed $250,000. Now
if Uncle Sam wanted such a vessel the
jod would be superintended by some
old grizzle-backed admiral, with a'heart
susceptible of bribe. It would be
constructed nominally at the navy yard,
but somehow John Roach would get in
a bill for a million dollar, and other
favorites, three or four hundred thou
sand more; and a vessel, which, with
armanent aboard, will not cost Russia
$300,000 would cost Uncle Sam, under
the peculiar system in vogue, just
about ten times more. This is the
Robesonism of the Navy Department
To review the whole matter, fills a per
sou with gorge, but to return to our
navy caps the climax for indignation
forty-three vessels and forty-five mil
lion people. Germany has forty-four
ships of war, twenty-three of which
are iron-clads, and any one of which
ould clean out the whole American
Navy in an hour's fight. France has
492 vessels of war, carrying 2,834 guns;
Italy, eighty-six ships, 676 guns; Spain,
89 vessels, 927 guns; Turkey, 78 ships,
500 guns, Denmark has twenty-eight
ships of war, and a more effective and
numerous armanent than our own.
The Netherlands have 122 ships of war.
Kussia La3 men-of-war, 501 guns,
Of course there is no reason for com
paring our own pigmy navy with those
of any first-class power in Europe, but
when we discover that Denmark and
the Netherlands, obscure and as insig
nificant as they are, far outrank na as
naval povrers, while we have expended
enough money to be equal to the best
of them, the magnitude of our short
comings can begin to be understood
No one would presume that we havo
any naval competitor on our own conti
nent, bnt. turning to Brazil, we find
she has fifty-nine steam ves els of war,
carrying 193 guns, nineteen of which
are iron-clads, carrying seventy-three
guns. It is beginning to bo questiona
ble whether we would dare affront the
King of the Sandwich Islands, we cer
tainly have no bnsiness playing brag
gart anywhere. Rather than to squan
der fifteen or sixteen million dollars, to
which the appropriations are now re
duced, as a pretense of a navy, such as
we have, it would be better to scuttle or
burn the rotten fleet, and go out of the
business. We have not a respectable
iron-clad, nor a first-class war vessel in
the whole list, and it is farcial to call it
a navy. To those who occasionally wish
for Grant re-occupancv of the Presi
dential chair, vre would point to the
condition of our navy. It is one of the
fruits of Grantism, and we are very
much of the opinion that none but the
shallow desire any more of it.
The War Department has by general
orders given snch instructions as will
compel the removal of headquarters
from Portland to Vancouver. The
military are very sour over the order,
as removal from the metropolis to the
"rural deestrict" shuts down a vast
quantity of flirtation and takes away
much of the "pride and circumstance"
of army life. It is pretty generally re
gretted by the Portland people too;
about the only really happy ones over
the situation being the unregenerate
ancouventes, who fancy they see the
dawn of better days gilding the horizon
of their hopes.
An np-country newspaper corres
pondent in endeavoring to quote from
the Good Book thus breaks tho celes
tial harmonv of that inspired work:
"The wind cometh whither it listeth,
bnt where it clatawaetn no man cum-
tuxeth." That is about as bad a Rtag
germent at quotation as was made by a
iimjammed individual on the way to
the "lock-up in charge of a policemen,
who becked off from imprisonment on
account of the scriptural injunction
"Jug not lest ye be jugged."
Steamship Opposition.
The advent of the Great Republic
plying in oar waters is accomplished,
and down again goes fares and freights
to an unreasonably low figure. We
hope so long as the Oregon Steamship
Company continues the short-sighted
policy of advancing fares to. the ex
cessively high price of twenty-five dol
lars between Portland and San Fran
cisco, that steamships can be found to
break in on the extortionate monopoly
as in the case of the Great Republic.
First-class passenger fare3 ought not to
be in excess of fifteen dollars between
the two ports. For the fifty hours of
carriage, it in now reduced to its ample
pay, and if adopted and persisted in.
would offer no inducement for an oppo
sition. Apart from these reasons, we
are glad to see a steamship of the bizo
of the Great Republic in Portland. It
proves our capability of caring far the
largest class of steam vessels, and
brushes away another mnstyj and fossil
ized tradition that steamships of this
class cannot navigate our waters. She
is nearly of four thousand tons bur
then, and draws but fifteen feet of
water, light. She formerly belonged
to the Pacific Mail Steamship Company,
and was vised in the service between
San Francisco and Hong Kong, which
proves her strength and efficiency, and
is undoubtedly to-day aa strong as
ever. We hope to see her continued in
the service long enough to teaoh the
Oregon Steamship Company, who claim
a monopoly of the. trade, that high
fares and freights will provoke a repe
tition of such visits in the future as in
the past, if their short-sightedness is
persisted in. We are not actuated by
any malicious motive against the Ore
gon Steamship Company in avering
this, but having the good and prosper
ity of onr State in view, solely impels
us to inveigh against this company.
No motor so wholly controls the spring
of action of an intending emigrant as
cheap fares. It influences the direc
tion of his hegira, and very largelj de
termines his place of final residence.
We need population have room for it,
and desire it. We must look Califor-
niaward for it, as that is the great res
ervoir into which is projected the emi
gres from the four quarters of the earth.
The Oregon Steamship Company in a
great measure embargo it from coming
here, on account of excessive fares, con
sequently we welcome the Great Re
public, as through such agencies are
opened the means of reasonable com
munication to and from our shores.
The N. l R. R"Asain.
The poor fool of the Oregonian is still
growling about the objectionable fea
tures of the N. P. R. R. extension bill
as it passed the Senate, still it won't
state, and it never has stated what is the
reprehensible parts of the bill. It got
Rev. Atkinson to deliver himself of a
long article on the subject, who hints
that the objectionable part is the com
pulsory bnilding of the portages around
the Cascades and Dalles. The fat boy
has since intimated that the trouble is
that it provides for the taxation of rail
road lands after they are Biirveyed, and
the company comes into the possession
of them. In these two propositions
there is nothing that is calculated to
shock any fair ideas of propriety. If
the Oregonian wants to champion the
cause of the monopolists in resistance
to the building of the portage road3,
whereby Eastern Oregon will still re
main in the clutches of the O. S. N.
Co., and also stand as the opponent of
taxation of tho railroad earned and
surveyed lands, it should say so plainly
ro the neonle mav know iust where it
can be found; but the tact is patent and
plain enough that it is a panderer to the
wishes and desires of a class cf monop
olists who have no interest of the gen
eral public to subserve, bui only their
own grasping and intolerant desires to
gratify. Mitchell stands in the way of
individual pretentions of this kind, and
fools like Scott and the Democracy in
ereneral. have brain enough to compre
hend it. even if they will not endorse
his policy at the polls.

As the Bannock Indians have apper
ently made the Stein Mountains their
b3se of operations, it. may be of some
interest to some of our readers to know
something of them. They are a high
range of mountains running northeast
by southwest, and within about fifty
miles of tho 171 ah a line on the east, and
about one hundred miles of the Nevada
line on the South. They contain very
little timber, but no doubt are wen ca
culated as a rdace for Indian opera
tions. The distance from the Dalits to
these mountains is somewhere within
three hundred miles, by way of Canyon
City and camp Harney.

The Democratic JJackdown.
Chicago Inter-Ocean. June 17.
The Democrats originated the Potter
committee, and inaugurated tho inves
tigation to advance the interests of the
Democratic party. The. Democrats in
Congress put themselves on record as
favoring the revolutionary programme
marked out in the Potter resolution,
The question covered by this resolu
tion was made a party one, and the
Democratic party, as a party, was com
mitted to the line of action marked out.
The 6tep waB taken deliberately, and
the experiment was tried. The import
ance of the step as a political maneuver
must be measured by the results of the
venture. -
When the Potter resolntion was pre
sented in the House, the Republicans
desired to amend bo aa to have the res
olution declare that no attack on the
President's title was intended. They
were not allowed to do this, and all the
other amendments, looking to a thor
ough investigation were rejected. The
Democratic resolution was adopted as
offered, and the investigation was in
augurated on the Deniocratio plan.
Two weeks have passed, and in what
plight does this Democratic programme
leave the Democratic party t
The investigation has proceeded just
as the Democratic managers insisted it
should proceed. The Democrats huve
chosen their witnesses, and have had
access to all documents and records.
They have had their own way about
everything, and yet they have failed to
make a case, or any show of on. This
is the result so far as the Republican
party is concerned. As to the Demo
cratic party, the experience of the last
two weeks leaves it in a most pitiable
plight.
It opened the battle as the assailant
of the Republican imrtv. choosing its
own ground. In two weeks it has been
driven from every- position, and now
stands on the defensive. Denied the
opportunity for through investigation
in the House, the Republicans so man
aged as to secure the opportunity in
the Senate. Failing to secure an
amendment to the Potter resolution de
claring that the President's title could
not be assailed, the Republicans struck
in another direction, and secured the
adoption of a resolution much more
sweeping in its declarations.
1 wo weeks ago Democratic Congress
men pledged themselves to a policy
that contemplated the unseating of the
President. .Last inday, outflanked
and demoralized, tuey voted lor a res
olution that dec'ares that policy revo
utionary. Ihey went lurtuer, and in
diaposing of the Blair memorial declar
ed that neither Congress, nor court.
nor other tribunel has power to reverse
the declaration that tho Presides t had
been dulv elected.
At the opening of this brief campaign
the Democrats had a united majority in
uongress; they had taken position on
the Presidential question, in the reduc
tion of the army, aLd bad entertained
the Blair resolution as to the illegality
of the election of President Hayes. At
the end, their majority is demoralized,
if not divided; they have abandoned
their position on the Presidential ques
tion, have backed down from tueir ag
gressive stand for army reduction, and
have repudiated the revolutionary Blair
resolution. All this has been in the
nature of a retreat in the face of an en
emy. Committed to one line of action,
the Democrats in Congress have been
forced to take another, by Republican
strategy or by public opinion. They
have been out-maneuvered and fright
ened, and deserve little credit for their
votes on Bnrchard a resolution. Given
an opportunity by their majority in
Congress to make their point, they
havo abused it ard have lost ground.
In the language of General Grant, they
have tilled the bucket and kicked it
over. They stand before the people
convicted of intent to revolutionize,
claiming credit becanse.they were fright
ened and compelled to abandon their
purpose. They come before the coun
try on a record which proved to be so
repulsive to the people that they had
to eat their words, and repudiate their
own programme. The worst enemies
of the Democratic partv could not wish
it to be in a more pitiable plight than
it is now.
