n . X . -V. 'A W n i t ORIGINAL DEFECTIVE i 3 i 'i li ".'V ;l 1 v! t 3)t (Enterprise. OREGON CITY. THTRSDAi. SEi'R. 5, l78. Scott Scotches the V. IV. Co. The city of Port-laml ha3 a monopoly seated at its doors wliicb, when it turns a screw, wrenches the social fabric from . turret to foundation stone; and because of the grip it gets on Scott (he baing a householder there, and not subsidized by this particular monopoly), we find him to be as sensitive a j other "critters" after all, and not tho pachydermatous we, from his callous treatment of other Tital monopolies, had began to regard him. This particular monopoly is called the Portland Water Work's Co., which might bo called a corporate saint along side of the satyr of the O. S. N. Co., but from the convolutions and con tortions, we find Scott writhing in, it must have extorted at least fifty cents per month extra out of that Lat that was wont to receive droppings of this size, from a sympathizing nblic, and were rewarded with the kindly smiles of its owner. We can advise Scott how to relieve the Orejoaian of this excess ive tax: let him devote one of the back windows of his composing room, after posting a notice, No nuisance com mitted here," so as to scare off those typos from their usual practice; from this back window a bucket can be drop ped into 14 Willamette's crystal tide," and flagons of its sparkling hydrogen drawn to tho thirsty souls of he Ore gonian staff. Most of the suicides hap pen below this place, and the American Exchange remains no longer to con lam inate its waters above; a person can drink this nectar with reasonable composure, asking no questions for tho concience' sake. - By all means commence there form at once; heroically free yourself from the grasp of a tyrannous monopo ly that will not subsidize, but only op press you; rise like- Venus out of tho condnits, an Amphitrite out of tho res ervoir; a Naiad or tadpole from the water pipes of the Portland Water company, and swear by all the heathen gods that Rome shalljdiowl unless they tip the leader of public opinion. Thus will he assert those instincts which make him as quiet as an underground sewer to those other monopolists whose outrage o public equities smell to heaven. How Sleep the llrave I As the bitter chalice- of defeat will Boon be visited to the lips of at least 39 aspiring candidates for the Senate, be ours the task to soothe their exaspera ted spirits at the ingratitude of Re publics, to raise their bruised .heads from the groveling of defeat, to point them to a seat in a higher tabernacle than the United States Senate, where board is free, and whisky can be man ufactured by the barrel at the word of command of the Governor of that, bet ter land. Look up and be cheerful; what matters it to after time if pang arTd'sorrow .contorts and agonizes the frames of 39. 'Tis but a passing spasm, and will soon be over. Nature will not be wrecked along with your aspira tions,' but will run its usual grooves till time shall bo no more. From down the rista of years a frag ment of quotation comes to us, wo know not from whence, but it fdls the soul with solace as its memory floats in onus: "The whangdoodle mourneth for its first-born." Take this to your hearts ! sorrowful 39; apply it3 balm to the wounds of your own defeat. You all instinctively know that the poor old mother whangdoodle of Democracy will mourn as your fair proportions are added to the holocaust of the shelved; from the tears of this sorrowing moth er will spring the benediction of your vanished dreams; tears, which, while they consign you to oblivion, bedew your political graves and keep them verdant to associate with memories of you in the long hereafter. Brother Scott, please pass the hat. Tonic for Us. There are times when Tony, full of virtuous wrath and indignation for the woes of his masters, swells to colossal proportions and lannshes forth thundr bolts of pent-up rage, as if he were tin ictbyosiiurus or saurian monster, big with the responsibilities of his calling. Tony had one of these dropsical moods on Sunday, and in response to our in nocent item about tho Yamhill competi tion in last weeks' issue, auathemized us in the following manner: "Wo suppose the editor who created the opposition in the first place on the Dayton route, and induced other peo ple to put their money into steamboats for his especial benefit, does not admire this "excessive competition." It mat ters little to him however as it is not his money that was put into steamboats, but the coin of those whom he could in duce to do so in order to get up "ex cessive competition" on the Willamette, and a consequent reduction in his freights. Some will evidently have to tie up their boats." After this Tony, you had hst tighten tip the back strap to your breeches, as it will be a month or more before you can swell up to such dimensions again, and in the meantime we will 'continue along and see what further deviltry we can devise to excite your manufactured wrath and malediction. Yellow fever is still raging in New Orleans, Memphis and the surrounding country, carrying off its hundreds-daily. Appeals for aid have been answered lib erally by the whole country. J i ... ... f Assessment Laivs. Actuated by some money-bags behind the scenes, the Oregonian of Thursday, publishes a letter from a correspondent signed " W," from Washington county, whom it is unnecessary to say is some Bohemiau moved to the deed in Port land, by consideration of money, to at tempt to substantiate the sophistical and outrageous theory that money or evidences of money, as notes, bonds, mortgages, &c, should not be taxed at all, but tho things that are tangible, as lands, houses, cattle, sheep, growing crops, Sec., should alone be taxed. From the tenor of the same letter appearing in the Standard, at the same time, it is evident that a preconcerted effort is being madt to create a sentiment in favor of such a suggestion, and it is likely the same letter will be forwarded to the interior for publication. It is not likely a person of ordinary intelli gence will be led astray by the fine-spun theories of the correspondent, as it is quite evident that it is an effort being made by the Shvlocks to escape their equitable share of the burden of taxation, and build up a favored class in our midst. Happily the assault cf the money loaners is met at the door, and turned away empty-handed by the following provision in our statutes, which cannot be overcome by sophistry and foils the scheme of " W " and crew it reads, "The Legislative Assembly shall provide by law for uniform and equal rates of taxation, and shall pre scribe such regulations as shall secure a iust valuation for taxation of all property, both real and personal-" and thus are they answered. What is wanted beyond every other measure to secure a just assessment is to compel every man, bank corporation ana propertiea representatives, at a given time, and by a uniform list, to make out a schedule down to the finest minutae of his lands, notes, mortgages, cattle, shares of his stock, jewelry, and every item of property above fifty dol lars in value, against which he should be permitted to deduct his legitimat indebtedness,naming the amount owing and to whom which should be sworn to with a penitentiary -clause in the back ground of the law for false statement, and we are sure tnere will be no cause left for complaint that some have es caped from their just assessment. Some may aver that such a measure would be highly inquisitional, but that is what no honest man fears, as under the pres ent law he feels in duty bound to make a clean breast of it. but the rogue and rascal are never contented without plenty of loop-holes to escape from the meshes of the law; and, of course, they would bo erreatly incensed at measures to bring them strict lv within the metes and bounds of equal and exact assessments To make their descent from perjury easy, and to detaxationalizo their money and personal effects, be cause, forsooth, they may be hidden, is truculent and cowardly submission to criminalty. A strong and emphatic law characterizing the offence and its punishment is the only way to administer justice according to the mandate cf the constitution. Noth ing to our mind more unreasonable and unjust could bo devised than to saddle real estate with all the taxes, thus compelling our farmers' and mid dle classes to bear tho load, while the noblesse oblige the rich and the bejew oled haul ton can strut through the land exempt from any of the burdens of Government, and so building up a favored moneyed class in our midst. Such a decree would deduct 20 percent, from the value of landed property, because of the all-prevailing desire it would create to turn everything under the ban of j taxation into the favored mortgage or gold, which the tax gatherer could not despoil. Suppose wo. should turn the tables on tli9 repr-esntatives of personal prop erty, and say: Our lands are the means of all subsistence; from them the in crease of "personal property (as cattle, horses, sheep, etc.,) are occasioned, and all the multiplied wants of the human family are satisfied, wealth produced and industry stimulated; on our lands houses are built which prod nee rentals and add personal values to the arreat accretion of this world's goods; on our lands all products grow which, through labor, generates wealth. It is against natural laws that the mother, from whoso prolific bosom our lives are fos tered, should bo taxed. You must not kill the goose which lays the golden eggs, but rather that tithes should be gathered from the product of her soil, that a portion of the results of labor, rental values, manufactured goods, and personal effects, which of themselves are not of primal necessity, but rather of secondary importance as life-sustaining elements, these alone shall ba taxed; but our mother, from whence we sprang, and to which we must re turn, should never be desecrated by the polluting grasp of a tax-gatherer. JJuch fine-spun argument, as well as sentiment might be educed to substan tiate this claim for exemption, and a dozen good reasons be given why lands should be free from taxation, rather than that personal property should. We shall not dwell on abstractions of this kind, however, but aver that while the burden of tho cost of Government always has been, and always will be uncomfortable to bear, that the only fair, exact, impartial and equitable plan is after the wording of the consti tution ," to prescribe such regulations as shall seeure a just valuation for taxa tion of all property., both real and personal." The Great Preacher. The iecheroustd cuss, Henry Ward Beecher, is now lecturing in California at 1,000 per night, and men and women crowd each other to suffocation to hear him. His lectures are filled with the Puritan cant, " I am holier than thou " style that marks the hypo crite and dissembler. Such ministers do more to indoctrinate infidelity and unfaith into the minds of the masses th in all other agencies combined. How can a rotten, "iutrefied fountain distil the sweet -raters of life? How can a tawdry, whited sepulcher of sin reflect the walls of the New Jerusalem? To sit under the shadow of his teaching is to breathe the deadly poisonous vapors of the Upas tree, which results in moral contamination and death. He trails the sanctified garments of Christianity in lethal gore, and is the impersonation of original sin, as transplanted from the Garden of Eden. We are thankful that the country is full of earnest men and women who are bold enough to say "If he is your examplar of a Christian life, we prefer to rumble along in the old style, out of the fold, and glad of it." Thanks, Thanks to Thee, My Wor thy Friend. The clerk of the weather is entitled to a gold medal and a plug hat for his uniform courtesy to the farming com munity during the harvest season; although his remarkable urbanity to the sons of the soil induced the Port land Water company to raise water rates, calculating on a future death of the aqueous, still in its general re sults there is a cause for much congrat ulation: no rains of moment have inter vened to prevent the garner of the crops, now substantially completed for which consideration we courteously bow our heads to Jupiter Pluvius, tho god of the water pots. We think those of our Clackamas farmers who with indomitable zeal and determination have tackled her forests, intent on wresting a home from the depths of the primeval are greater he roes than those who go forth to con quer cities, or do deeds of prowess on the battle field. Nothing but nerve extlted to a sub lime pitch could sustain the will in its fight with these obstructing elements of nature, and we honor the noble men and women who have set themselves to the sacrifice of many years that a home should finally crown the work. A home, allbeit, built up with wasted life energies that their children, more than themselves may dwell in happiness on lands made hallowed by their self abuegaticn. No deed of valor in other pursuits exceeds the measure of the heroic, which must inspire those who devote themselves to this work; and it goe3 bravely on. Year by year tho do main of the woods is encroached upon by our yeomanry, and yields its tribute to the conqueror in fire and smoke, dust and ashes; thus by the necromancy of the fallen giants ot the forest, is the final conquest of the woods divined. In time our county, from the river to the coast and Cascade line will stretch forth a broad expanse of farm land, save here and there a spot, not so much consecrated to Druid as to answer for the farmer's " wood lot," isolated re minders of the once interminable forest that intervened. It is gratifying to know that if nature is perverse, and presents her hardest task to the home seekers in Clackamas county, that not withstanding this, men of muscle and perseverance are at the front never fal tering at the work beforo them, and in time they will appreciate the old max im, " that the end crowns the work." With this issue we send a supple ment containing the masterly speech of Senator Mitchell delivered to his con stituents at New Market Theatre on Saturday night of last week. We think it is superfluous to ask that it be attentively read, as it commands atten tion from commencement to close. Our readers will see that we have again and again called attention to the same facts which Senator Mitchell has there so forcibly arrayed to prove' his faith ful execution of the trust confided to him as the servant of the people of the State of 'Oregon, and we are confident tho universal verdict is "well done, good and faithful servant." One slimy reptile, however, who trails his veno mous course through the editorial col umns of the Oreijcmian, lives to rehash set lies, false conclusion and inference and vomit the dregs of his ingrate na ture against the good name of Senator Mitchell. It is balsamic to remember that though Ithe "mills of tho gods grind slowly" that this scotched snake will 3Tet be ground impalpably fine. Senator Mitchell has the eloquence, the knowledge and tho ability to make "Injun" mcl out of Scott, and we hope to see him soon agaiD, as " grist" at the Senator's hopper. Scott thinks the price sot on water by the Portland Water Co. might prop erly be entitled high-drop-athy, and he has been so afflicted with the rabies at sight of his water bill that he has for gotten to remind the people of his baili wick that water can be procured in digging from 20 to 40 feet right under their dosps nud thus could the burghers of that weeping, wailing and gnashing town, absolve themselves from the Green eyed tritons who now reigu so imperiously over them. Missouri's Democratic State Treasury ring has, it is reported, succeededin making away with over a million and a half dollars of the public funds. A direct tax to cover the deficit and meet pressing obligations is tho cheerful prospect before the people. COURTSSr OF BANCROFT LIBRARY DIVERS ITT OF CALIFORNIA ' TOTTTDl-t-it r-iir . English Wheat Trade. The imports of Pacific Coast wheat into Great Britain continue light, but the quantity on the way is increasing at a rapid rate. The London Mark Lane Express of August 27th thus outlines the condition of the breadstuffs market: "The weather has been dull the past week. Bain fell every day. Much de lay was consequently experienced in harvest operations. In tho early dis trict of home counties the land has been pretty well cleared of cereals, but in some fields the crops are still s and ing, while in the north a large propor tion of barley is uncut. In the south of England the barley crop appears td be to a great extent a failure. In the midland counties, where the most favor able hopes were expressed, the pros pects have changed decidedly for the worse. Scotch agricultural advices on tho whole are favorable, both as regards wheat and barley; but as the weather has been broken and showery, some anxiety is felt. Beside the interruption to field labor, recent heavy rains have almost put a stop to threshing, and farmers have marketed very little wheat at Mark Lane or provincial mar kets, Should wet weather prevail dur ing the remainder of the harvest, it is more than likely a substantial enhance ment of values will take place, especial ly now that the French crop is serious ly deficient, and the reported marvel ous yield of Spring wheat in America is more than doubtful." California and Oregon Railroad. From the Yreka Journal.l The last 20 miles of road on the C. & O. railroad was received by the Govern ment a few months ago, and next year the company is obliged to build an ad ditional 20 miles at least, though we hear it stated from prominent railroad men that they will build enough to lost three or four years, or may put the road clear through to the Oregon line A proposition from the German bond holders, owning the Oregon branch, to furnish the money at a very low rate of interest, is said to be under considera tion by the C. P. R. R , as the latter has been using all its surplus capital on the Southern Pacific in Arizona to head off Tom Scott, besides building a new short line via Bantas to Sacramento, over wh:ch trains will run the 1st of next month. The C P. It. R. Co. claim that the road to Reading does not pay, ex cent during the harvest season, nor can it bo made to pay unless finished through to Portland, and secure the Oregon travel and trade. If the C. P R. R. Co., however, conclude to forfeit their franchise, the German; bond holders are ready to take it off their hands, and build the road th rough from Reading to Roseburg. We trust that one or the other lot of capitalists will put it through as soon as possible, as everybody appears anxious to look out for the engine while the bell rings. The superintendent of the Monu mental mine recently forwarded six buttons of silver obtained from six samples of ore in the up-raise of the main shaft, which ranged from $4,G5G.OO to $857.00 per ton the average being 2,143. Tho superintendent writes, " These samples ranged from the rich est to tho poorest of tho rock." The vein where this is obtained is sixteen inches wide. Mr. C. S. Miller has not yet returned from San Francisco, where he went to engage machinery for this promising mine. Stockholders in the Mon mental have a profitable investment unless nil signs and indications go for naught. Senator Davis, of West JVryrinia, tit will be remembered, was greatly agita ted as to the condition of tho United Stales Treasury. He set his experts to work and they have brought to light a remarkable commentary on the honesty and laithfulness of the men who have handled the money of the United States in the century ..that it has been a nation. The total receipts in that time have been almost sixteen billions of money, bnt every cent of it is properly account ed for. Thus is the figity fussiness of an officious old gentleman turned to good account. But there is no basis for a Democratic campaign document. Ex. Governor Henry Haight, of Cali fornia, died in San Francisco last Sun day. MAHRIKD. At the residence of Mr. John Athey in t his city, September 5th, lXeS, by fhe Rev. John YV.
