ORIGINAL DEFECTIVE i . r 1 i T 3)t (ntcrpnsc. OREGON CITY, TIURSDA1. OCT. 21. 1S7S. Adjourned. The principal thing to thank God foi ls that the Oregou Legislature ha3 ad journed; and adjourns, leaving most of the important corrective IcgiVation called for bv tbo people lost ia the ob structive chaos of the lobby; notwith standing the apparent contradiction of our reasons for congratulation, we offer thanks because it was pitiable to see meritable legislation longer buffeted betweeen the foils of the sharpers. There is scarcely a member bat that ought to bo spanked by bis conslitn- ency, because a better assessment law wa? not enacted, but between the ira- piacticables who desired to lax every thing without deduction for indebted ness and the seosibles who wished ihor ongh taxation and a rigorous inqnisi tion "as to who the thiugs beloog to,' was inserted the craftv, i.isidious de signing element in the employ of con centrated capital, who want the present law perpetuated, so as to shield them as heretofore, and he whole si rue tire falls to the ground ia confusion, leaving the old order of Ihiogs to subsist for two years longer. So, too, a Deeued lefoi m wasdemnmled by every consideration of public welfare in tho Pilotage Laws in force on the Columbia river; but old Flavel, of Astoria, had his faDgs so fastened in the commerce of (he Stafe that the prayers and importuuHies of the boards of ii.'de, ns well as the coca mercial lights in all Oregon, were with out avail, and Flavel and his roooopo list and esacfiog ways will coatioae ns an evil-eyed "old man of the sea" for another ca.

Tie soncenlraf ion of c:Dial was so prreat that a till for the legnlatioa of fares and freights to a reasonable maxi mnm never bad any chance f'otn the beginning, and so the people of EasJ ern Oregon will continue to be exacted from. Tbey sent a delegation of nin compoops (with the exception of "Wright) who wet e easily guMed in O. S. N.

The Legislature has consented to a farther lobbsvy of the School Fond bv failing to restvicf. tb Can eml Looks company to a uniform raU of toll. The ten per cent, gi tss tine to the School Fund, amounts to Dolbiag, as the com pany pass their own f 'eights f -ee. We pointed this out and its con-octive, bat byinr.ction the swindle is sanctioned and the old order of thiols contiare. The LegisTat ure has sanctioned poach ing of foreig.i iDonev-Iouners, who skim large interest exactions from tho State and p.ry uolbin? for the privi'ee. They bnve show a a vcy tender reg rd for tho best i ite-os's of the c. oii.rtl-its of Europe, l.!t tho Munoe of it is uot with the foreigners. Much morj of wroDgs rnrTghted might bo recapitulated, but we (nrn from the dark side of the picture to its obverse, to view that which the Legis lature muv reason ibly bo congratulated for.

So far as we are advised this is nil of general and far-reaching iutcest that the Legislature has to be congtaf abated for, and as the mournful concourse, of incipient, full-fledged, and have-beou ! statesmen wend their wav iu funereal- train out into tVie realms of oblivion, lit us drop a few briny tears over them, either because they were at all, or are. Some of the newspaper fraternity inspired by the coin of the landated, are endeavoring to hoist some of the legislative lights to this apes of fame by liberal puffing. The Stanuvrd thus attemps to elevate John Ileury Smith, of Linn county, but the cold clo7s of the valley being such ;insens.i!e c'av," won't stay fixed nn the lof' v pedestal of the Slo.ulrrd's empyrean imagination. John Henry miv be loity in sfalnro. and from his great hiiht may be able to sweep cobwebs ont oT the sky, but no ranting, vapid, egoiislle aud overgrown blunderbuss en claim acqua;Dtance with the various Gods on t'-at account. The only thing Jehu Henry did to make him singularly conspicuous wastoba the only one to vote against the Portland Bridge frrwcbi.se, an act demanded by every con-ideratioa of public intciest, and only one motive to be thought of for opposition to it. Linn county hasn't got an eminect rtan, either pres ent or rrospe?tir3, in John Hen rv. His pertinacious fight forFlave! to eoniinno to oppress the farmers by Lis unjust charges for bar pilotage is another in- stance wbere thia eminent Granger was found in the enemy's camp.

For two seasons previous to this, owing to very high prices prevailing far wheat in the fall, the volume of the crop naa, as eany as mis ttato, aireauy been sokl iy n.e larmers, out ttie oruer . is reversed this year, and in conse- j i quenceoflow prices, hardly a modi- cum of the crop has yet been disposed o of. If the farmers are holding in the iuuienu u.m lM'ft-s m jetriw u "sta'n0" us in the face." We, there tho level of tho two former years, we fore hve m compunctions to mantle imnK mey are grasping xor mem sioiiny, wiiu ine protamines un against them. Wheat is nnprecedently low in Europe, and yet in the face of values lower than ordinary for years, prices declined fully one shilling per quarter last week, compelling the Fort- land buyer to recede from S1.5i to 31.50 per cental. It would not seem as if it could decline farther ia Europe, but there is a factor ia our midst that might easily compel a deduction in the Fortland offer for wheat. It is the item of ship's f eight from Portland to Liv erpool, which just now, owing to a stress of numbers of unchartered ves sels ia port, is reduced to the excessive low ratu of tea dollars ner ton. Now when the few ia competition for imme diale loading have chattel ed, it is very natn'-al to conclude that an advance in freight-rates will ensue. With the Liveipool maiket stationary for wheat. whatever advance there is, must be de ducted J torn the farmer, and lessen the offer for his grain. This is a plain and undeniable reposition. Now the old est man in the couolrv can not see fur ther into the 'a;ni roa'ket th..n a tyro It fluctuates and turns beyond the in- teveatioa of hamaa agencies. Tbiogs unseen might happen to double the value of wheat in tea d.tvs: or within the same time, to farther depress it, and no man in Oiegon, or in the world, can tell in one day wbt tbo next will briogfoilh except by the guidance of tho " avsrjge;" so that lh9 hue and cy sec up by r. few crazed imbeciles that a ling of operators bave depressed the market," which is often heard in Ore gon. is but the blatant mouthing of an lonorjmrts. Probabilities ottea get knocked ou the head by facts, aud who ever withholds his wbcat whea he 5s ready to sell, pod sbonhl bell ia older to meet his just dues, from that mo meot is a speculate-, and must ;aka his chances wbea he has to sell like a man, and not ' o blubbering that an "infernal wheat ling has come'ed the ma'ket, and swindled me," when he sells. Now it is not our piovioce to advise our reuuers. v e uave c vea iuem a square 1 . TTT 1 statement of tbo ma-ket situation, with - the one thing loouiiog up that miorht depress prices.

COURTESY OF BANCROFT LIBRARY, UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, Slate Land Matters. The committee appointed to investi gate "State Land Matters" made a par tial report on Friday morning, giving some of the facts and conclusions ns touching the management of this busi ness by the Slate Board, upon tberead ing of which the two houses pissed a resolution directing the committee to make futher investigation, i id uliag the other State officials as well. The following is but a brief summary of the findings of the committee: They examined Filch books and files as were turned over to them, butconld not find in them intelligible an account of the affairs of the State land department. The journal of proceedings of the board is not made up uml signed since Aug. 1th. 1871: all since are scraps of paper, jeld together by an india-rubber band purporting to contain iniiiuius siui-e that time. Thev consist of brief aud some-I ii'ies unintelligible memoranda, and no person ignorant of the affairs of the boa'-d could construct a complete rec ord from them. They contain the only account of important business, and yet ao not officially sigued. Since the passage of the swamp land net exrrava gent sums have been paid for clerical services. Mr. Cann has received $1, 800 a year salary from the board. Dur ing the first four years AJr. iJeiscb- maa received a similar salary, and drew at one time 6-4o5, and at anoUier $ir0, as corresponding secretary of the LaGrand office. During tho last four years Mr. Ilackleman Las drawn G,i-.)0 from the board for work that he could have done in CO days, and also at the same time drew a full salary from the treasurv department. The LaGrand office has cost about 3-1 per ceDt. of the receipts, not including sums paid for it iu Salem. July, 1871, Jesse Applegato paid 81,- 8o0 as 20 per cent on swamp lands; it is stated that was returned, not to him, but S. F. Chad wick, ami we d not leara that he was authorized, so u act for Mr. Applegato, and Chadwiok's receipt is for :-l,bu0 instead of SJ,;.1. Amos N. Ktug paid in Sept. Ji, lbil, SI, 1)00, ttiis money is said to havt; . r . - . . - ' - 1. T . - "... . to havo been borrowed by Mr. Ci)ad wick. we found Lis not therefor among tho papers. Since we l)en.i:i our labor ho has paid thi a tuo nut, without, intorest, into tho trtasary. James Clark testified that in" May, '74 or '75, he paid Cann, in Chadwick'u presence, $21 for swamp land in Grant county, taking receipt. There is a memorandum in Clark's filling of this payment, but no entry iu Cauu's books of it. n?ong expenditures of board are largo entries for attorney's foes; Las well, district attorney wus paid 'j2o lor a foreclosure, teu per cent for collec tion, while the law allows him but $25. S. C. Simpson received $1,024 84 for foreclosure of a mortgage against A. Myers, aud II. II. Gilfry .shared larg ely in such dividends. We found one instance where the board allowed al most 20 per cent fee. Most culpablo of suc-h allowances are to Secretary Chad wick for attorney's fees, one for $200 for services iu swamp land matters, the order for the allowance being sigu ed bv Gov. Chadwick. Kt-ferritig to the $30,000 receipt given R. Til. Walker for money never paid on swamps lands, the committee reply to the claim of Chadwick that this amount represented what the total was that had beeu paid iu by those who Lad tiled and then assigned to Walker, by showing that the total paid in at thatdato was $20,450 41, and recapitu late to show that "nearly tho who e of it was paid in by persons whom Walker did not, and did not claim to repre sent." Tlie report expresses doubt if a single doller was aid in on these til ings. "This presents a transaction which in the opinion of your commit tee, is wholly without palliation or excuse," and they add; "calculated to enable any person having them, if so disposed, to defraud any person deal ing upon the faith cf them." The committee has only had time to examine swamp land matters, but say that "the manner of keeping the books and transcting the busiuess has been such as to give opportunity for every kind of abuse." They conclude, from what they havo seen, that "great ex travagance has been permitted in con nection with all these matters," though it is not impossible that facts may de volope to palliate or to excuse many transactions that now appear censur able. They recommend a thoroug i aud completo investigation, and the report is signed by S. G. Thompson and John E. lloss of the senate, and Wm. Galla way, D. P. Thompson and J. S. White, of the house, of all the committee. Mr. J. A. Stratton, clerk of the committee, reports. He summarizes the amou tits received by Col. Cann, clerk of tho board of school land com missioners and the amounts paid out by him as follows: Total receipts taken from the books....?.!) 231 (!

All these havo been credited in tho foregoing account, which could be reasonably construed into being a receipt for money. Tl;o clerk does not vouch that the abovo is a correct statement of the swamp land commissioacrs accounts does not th'iDk any correct statement can he made up from the books. Vol umes "A and li, which seems to have been the only account books kept, are full of erasures and interlinations." Some entries are crossed out, and yet the figures thef state are added up with the resl. Others so marked are not included. It cannot be determined from inspection whether some entries are charges or mere memoranda The clerk thinks the original papers and tiles will have to be depended ou, and such other evidence of money pay ments as may be attainable, involving an extensive correspondence, which of course he could not do with tho lime at the disposal Of the one hundred and ten mil lions of imports into China during the past year tho fraction cf a Iiit!o more than a rollion aDd a half oniy fell to theidiare of the United States.
