Newspaper Page Textrcflbu Statesman AND UtflOttlST. SALEM, FRIDAY, : : i i OCT. 1 , j Legislative Again Since the Ilercid gives each kind notices; ia its weak way. Of oa legislative reports we feel obliged to giva. out readers all the ioformatvpb ibat comes to band concerning the jlofyig of .the worthy gentlemen wbo are trying so bard to wind np the disjointed legislation of our State, Perhaps the dis .Ktingnisbed Seapleton of the Herald thinks we don't' appreciate those efforts; if so, he never was more mistaken. Appreciation is ! our forte, and in this connection we pro ' pose to consider the question of paying for this lost time and extra servicei We are informed by a well known Democratic attor ney, that the clerk of the Lower House has applied to him as to the means of getting pay for bis time since the session termina ted, or rather enme to its untimely collapse, for the terminal point on Puget Sound is no more undecided tban that of the late , Legislature, and Ben. Holliday is supposed to have something to do with both. But to return to our mutton," (though we beg to assure our friend that we don't mean to call bim a sheep), let us seriously ask it it is necessary for public servants to rely on the courts to secure their dues ? If it is, O tempera I O mores ! It is beyond controversy that the clerks have not been properly discharged, while their duties always h;.ve been so. Tbey were hired at so much a day, and the days are still lapsing down the moaning avenues of time; tbey are. indeed. Every oue of these days the faithful clerks stand ready to do their work and draw tbeir pay. Tbey have as good right to do the oae as tbe other, but we hepe for the honor of our State tbey won't press tbe matter to a de cision in tbe courts of justice. It has been suggested by the attorney referred to. that some deduction might be legally made for business of other nature done and money earned in tbe interval, and be says tbe gen tleman's answer was, that be could " easily prove that he couldn't Bad a d n thing to do." Under these circumstances, of course, tbe full pay goes marching on. California and Oregon Boundary. ' The San Francisco Bulletin gays tbe re cent sarrey establishes that ifco old line Adopted in 18S5 is only one-third of a mile out f tfce way. That line was ascertained by sighting over the mountains from the coast. Five astronomical stations were es tablished on tbe 42d parallel, the most im portant being in Surprise Valley where over 3000 observations were made, it being the IniuU poiat of tbe California-Nevada boundary, and tbe Oregoa line. This point is situated nine three-fourth miles north and five mile east of Camp Bidwell flag staff. The line divides Goose Lake almost -equally aad crosses Rbett Lake and the Lower Klamath Lake, and scarce any good agricultural land is fotnd between there and the coast-; thence ascending over a ery broken timbered country 108 miles crosses Klamath iver ; it then takes ever high rocky mountains, cat by deep ravines ; and at 133 miles crosses tbe Oregon and California road just north of Cole's station j thence ascending to tbe summit of the Siski you mountain and leaving Hungry Greek mines in California, it crosses the bead of Applegate Valley, and then over exceed ingly cogged mountains passes five miles .south of Altbouse, crossing the Illinois Hiver 184 J miles at the junction of its forks and about three miles' south of Waldo. The termination of the old line is south of true parallel, From thence to the crossing of tbe Crescent City road, at 198 mile monu ment, and e on 4o tbe Pacific Ooean. tbe country is very monfotainous, cut by deep ravines, and almost impassible, because of dense woods, masses of fallen timber, heavy undergrowth and .precipitous rocks. Tbe lermination of tbe line at tbe coast is near the month of WlnetrucTt Creek, and the length of tbe boundary ia 212& miles. Durable oaoflumenU if stone with properly marked posts were erected t cad of each nile w&ere the locality permitted, and the dine ia well Waned and tnarhed fb rough the timber. . "'" ' ."' '' ". "West Side Interests. U A writer rn the "Polk County Tunes, wbo -seems very properly alive to the interests of his own sectiou, tafces considerable patas .to maintain that tbe people oSaienV are bitterly opposed to those interests, and con stantly engaged in the effort tojtlisparage them. If there is any person of injjuence in Salem who has ever opposed any meas ure 'intended for the advancement of the prosperity of tbe counties west of Willam ette river, we do not know who it is! Even in the railroad oontrovery, that has con tinued for several years, there is no dispo sition to keep the people over there from baring a railroad. ' It simply amounts to a rivalry for the possession of a grant made for that purpose by Congress and to noth ing mere. The Statesman is is bo special ease local organ, and will not fail to ap preciate .and advocate the interests of the counties Across the jiver. Tbey need .good roads, and bare as good a right to a rail road and a daily audi as y onu else has. Whatever e can. say or do anything to dvance west side Interests, our friends over there can count on our earnest en deavor ia tbeir behalf, The whole Willam ette Valley belongs t Oregoa, every nook and corner of tbe State oeede population and should be supplied with every facility s to mails, -stages and reads, and every thing dose to encourage rapid development. Let the traral that belongs on the West aide be In every way accommodated. Let no local eiasy Bar the cheering pros pect of our Xature. The narrow -minded business policy that would re-enact the performance of tbe dog ia the fsager, is sot worthy of the people of Oregon. ITe form one great ooamaaity, diversified to Miu ifrea.wera; wide region txtt governed by a common law acd actuated by any ,iateresta common to all. So we propose to advocate the interests of every ection, and bepe te bear no iurtber reflec tions of aa unpleasant nature cast by citi. seas of one section against tboee of another. Tbe Democrat seriously asks, why' the State Fbv should coatfcme to be beM in Marion county, and claims that Linn coun ty is as centrally located and able to do as much, as Marion." Of cofirte this fa true enough; bt the fact that Albany is above ateamboat navigation stakes Salem more central at present,' and it would be poor foliey' to change the place for holding the Fair each year. ; The place.ehosea should be improved for !be purpose, and a great Seal f katsl -rasa ia seeded ia tbe Mar Postal Telegraph. The announcement made lately by tele graph, that tbe San Francisco Chamber of Commerce has passed resolutions favoring the adoption of the Postal Telegraph sys tem, shows that tbis important measure is obtaining influential friends. The business of the country will be great facilitated by affording a cbeap system of telegraphy, by which small dealers can enjoy its use. At present its free use is confined to the rich merchants in a great measure, and to tbe great newspapers who by its use obtain a virtual monopoly of tbe fields of journalism. The action of the Chamber of Commerce of San Francisco was based on an address of Gardiner G. Hubbard, who has been em ployed by ourGovernment to examine tbe Postal Telegraph system of Europe. His report was submitted last winter and a bill drawn to establish the system in the United States. This bill will come up for action the coming winter. Mr. Hubbard showed the danger of committing the greatest inter ests to tbe bands of a private Company, the uncertainty of news items received at tbe hauds of a monopoly and tbe advan tages to follow low rates and a free system. On tbe continent of Europe tbe telegraph bad passed into the bands of tbe different Governments, and the effects were so bene ficial that England was about to adopt tbe same system. Tbe resolutions presented at that meeting, were laid over for action, and were probably the one referred to as lately passed. Tbey approve the system as ex plained by Mr. Hubbard, and gave a pledge of sugport until the Postal Telegraph be comes one of the institutions of the land." We do not recognize that any public measure now before tbe people is of wore importance than this, and take pleasure in urging its adoption at an early day. as nec essary to the best interests of the wbcle country. Spain. The latest dispatches from Europe rep resent the Spanish Republicans on the eve of revolution. The Government have sup pressed many republican societies, and is endeavouring to crush out tbe free spirit that rejects monarchy. We bear of great gatherings where 20,000 men listened to orators who gave expression to the senti ment, death rather than monarchy." The republicans are already fighting behind barricades in the streets of Madrid. The mere deposition of the Bourbons was ac complished by tacit consent, without a struggle. The great conflict will come when the effort is again made to install a King upon the throne. Tbe old heroism of the Spanish people is around and tbe issue may be. and we trust will be, tbe lounda tion of a republic on the Spanish peninsula. Tbe Central Park.New York, has cost ten and a hajf million dollars, but the taxes on the increased value of the property adjoin ing more than pay the interest on the cost. The good management of its affairs is shown by a few facts. The sheep that graze on its lawns, and are so much admired, pro duce 81,400 annually. The sales of grass cut would pay for all the building done in 1868, and much incidental expense is met by similar incomes. Over even million of I . .. . .

The vast extent of ground enclosed is laid out with the finest taste, and tbe drives, walks, bowers, grottoes and glens, surpass the ideas one cherishes of fairy land. All this has been done to secure a pleasure ground for the population of the great city, who can unhindered walk among the rarest trees, shrubs and plants, surrounded by many curious things, and many strange ani mals." . oUkveys East op the Cascades.

SUPREME COURT. '" Waste of Pity. The Democrat mourns v4he fact that during the late gold panic in New , York, many persons must ' ave been reduced "from affluence to beggary." I& reasoning is jnst in regard to the immorali ty of gold gambling, but the losers in this case are no more to be pitied than the losers' of a faro bank. Tbe fact that Jfm Fisk lost a hundred thousand dollars by being caught in bis own trap for once, an he certainly was. cannot cause much eor; row in the community. If the whole lot of gold operators had been ruined tbe world would not have been loser, and honest men could more easily get tbeir dues. Portland. A prisoner in the countv ?ail at Portland, says the Commercial, attempt ed to commit suicide last Friday, by taking laudanum, tie was discovered in time to save him. .....The same paper states that the O. S. N. Co. have discharged all their machinists and closed shops. The reason for this, aa we understand, is on account of the slackness of business, the coremaov at tbe present time not doing hardly sufficient to pay incidental expenses The Com mercial tells of a bear and pig. owned by a grocer in Portland, that are living on terms of intkaate , friendship ..The Herald says that; a great number of thieves and burglars are congregating in Portland The Oregonian says that a clock tower is being built on the top of tbe Odd Fellows' HalL Dr. Greenman, wbo returned fron Goose Lake Valley on Sunday last, brought some fine corn, that was planted on June 10h. It is well filled, and quite ripe, and of tbe Canada Flint variety. About 1000 tons of hay were cat, aad about $00 head of cattle and 100 bead of horses will be wintered in the valley. Toe Dr. reports that the cli mate is more equable tbere than be re, tbe mean temperature during tbe past smrntner having been about 75 cegrees. Tbe nights nod mornings are warmer than here, and no frost bad beea seen except in some of the canyons. All kinds of vegetables had done very well, and those who are located there seem very well satisfied. Sentinel. -, J ; Lrsst Coraxr Fair. A gentleman who is visiting Albany, and will remain tbeir du ring 'Fair week, writes us an acceptable, ' cheerful and interesting letter, which comes ii good play aa we are unable to carry ont oar intention to visit the Fair in per son, the weather being toe Btormy for an ed itor with a bad cold. Salem, Supt. 28. Stephens & Terwilliger, appellants, vs. Hannah Carter and others, respondents. Judgment affirmed.; Held that British sub jects iu occupatiou of land in Oregon at tbe time of the treaty of S4ti had only it pos- issory light, which terminated by death or tbe ceasing of actual occupation. Stout and Sbattuck for appellants. Wait for re spondents. Statu of Oregon, respondent, vs. William Ellis, appellant. Appeal from Clatsop. Judgment affirmed. Held, that in a crimi nal case, when the court at special term has jurisdiction ot the subject matter, by duly making and filing an order fcr tbe term specifying such case as a part of the busi ness to be done, any objection by a defend ant for want of due service of the copy of the order, must be made at the earliest prac ticable stage oi the proceedings in. such case ; such objections will be held waived if the party pleads, moves for change of venue, and submits to trial : after verdict such an objection is too late. Held, that au indictment for assault with intent to commit a rape, which charges tbe offence in general terms, and in tbe words ot the statute, is sufficient. Hill for appellant. Parrish.Lo-! gan and Sbattuck for respondents. Failing and others, respondents, vs. Os burne, appellant. Judgment affirmed. Held, that a party in undisturbed posses sion of real property, bought at auction, cannot resist the payment of u note for part of the purchase price, in plea ot" failure of title to a part of tbe land from which lie has never been evicted. Williams for ap pellant. Ellsworth and Sbattuck for. re spondant. The following cases were argued and submitted : Miller, lespondeiits. vs. lioxu v. appellant, and Campbell, respondent. Vrf. Jloxter. appellant. lVnding the argument of the cise of llesser. et ul.. respondauts. vs. Hawthorne, appellant, the court ad journed. The Itmlroad ( nr. Tbe Oregon Central Kailroad Company, east side, respondent, vs. Aaron E. Wait, appellant. This was an action brought in the circuit court for Clackamas county, by the Company, against Judge Wait, for the purpose of condemning to tin Company's use. for the purposes of the construction cf its railroad, a strip ot land containing about nine acres, running through tbe Judges farm, in Clackamas county. In the court below, the defendant, Wait, answeredrdenying the validity of the incor poration and organization of plaintiff, the Kailroad Ccmpnny ; and also in the same answer averring the value of the land sought to be appropriated, and claiming damages in the sum ot one thousand dollars. The court below, on niotiou of the attorney lor the Company, struck out that portion of the answer which denied the validity of the incorporation and organization of the cor poration. Upon the trial o! tbe case in tbe court below, after a view of the premises by the jury and the hearing of the ease on testimony, tbe jury rendered a verdict in favor of the Company for tbe appropriation ot the land, and iu favor of the Judge for fifty dollars damages for such appropriation, a tender of judgment lor one hundred dol lars having been made by tne Company ofler suit brought, and begun trial. All costs, some thirty-five dollars, v hich accrued in the court below, nfler such tender of pay ment, were taxed against Wait. Fm the whole of the judgment rendered on fTtis verdict, and from ttie taxaiiou of costs. Wait appealed to Supreme Court, as signing as error various grounds, the prin cipal of which were : 1. That tbe court erred in striking out that portion of his answer which denied the validity of the incorporation and organiza tion ot tbe Company. 2. In charging tbe jury that ,' If you find there is result iff g injury or damages to those land ot tbe defendant which are not taken by tbe plaintiff, sad: resulting injury or damages may be compensated by resulting advantages caused to tbe same land by the construction of said road, if you find such resulting advantages." The court having charged that the jury " must find for tbe defendant. Wait, what the land taken was really worth at the time, irrespective of any increased value thereof by the construction ot the road." 3. That the court erred in taxing any por tion of tbe costs against defendant, for the reason that no tender was made before the action was commenced. Tbe Supreme Court affirmed ihe judgment and proceedings of tbe court below in all respects, except as to tbe taxation of costs, in which respect it was modified, so that all costs of case are taxed against the Compa ny; the court holding that a defendant in an action brought under the general incor poration law of this State to appropriate lands, must, if he wishes to den the valid ity of the incorporation of the Company, plead that specially, and cannot combine it with an answer averring the value of tbe land or claiming damages ; and that tin an swer setting up a claim for compensation or damages is a icaivcr of any objection to the validity of tLe corporation. The court also held that the charge of the court to the jury was good law. Upon the question of costs, tbe court held, that unless a tender of an amount equal to or greater tban the amount finally recovered, before action brought, is made to a defendant,jthe corporation cannot recover costs. ' y ' Salem! Sept. 2i. '' Mfles, respondent, vs. Hoxter, appellant. Appeal from Columbia countit. Judgment allirmed. Held, that the record in these cases does uot show sufficient to authorize tbe court to puss upon the case argued which was whether tbe rule of common law requiring owners of cattle to keep them on tbeir own land is in force in Oregon. So the question is undecided. Held, that in an action lor double damages, a general yerdiet "will be deemed to cover the entire damages recoverable, and not merely siugle damages. Caples loriuppellant. .Lancas ter and Wait, respondent. Deiay and others, appellants, vs. W. W. Chapman, adm'r estate of Loring, respond ent. Appeal from Third Judicial District. The suit originally was an action of eject ment, brought by Delay and Stout against Chapman to recover possession of a land claim near East Portland. Tbe defendant, Chapman.as administrator of James L. Lor ing, decaseil, interposed an equitable an swer, claiming that Loring in his lifetime settled upon tbe claim, notified and made proof ot settlement ; tbat tbe settlement was made April. 1852. and that in January, ieod, LiOiing died, and Chapman subse quently was appointed his administrator ; that, under tbe 8tb section of donation law, made the proof that Lonng bad in his life time complied with tbe conditions of said law, and that, therefore, bis heirs were en titled to the patent ; but that Delay, through lrand, had obtained the patent ; and de manded that the patent to Delay should be canceled. Issue was taken upon the ques tion of fraud, and tbe suit coining on to be tried before his honor R. P. Boise, a decree was given for Chapman as administrator. Tbe suit was thereupon brought into this court upon appeal. The Supreme Court held tbat tbe administrator had no such in terest in the event of the suit as would per mit bim to question the patent; tbat if tbe facts set up in the answer wre true, then tbe land claim belonged to ,Loring?s heirs, not by inheritance, but by purchase, tbat it was a new estate in them, and could not be appropriated by tbe administrator for tbe payment of Loring's debts ; and reversed the judgment of the circuit court, and di rected judgment to be entered for the plain tiff for tbe possession of the claim. The de cision in this case affins nothing upon the merits, nor assures anything to Delays and. Stout as again-t tbe heirs-at-law of Loring. It asserts substantially j tbat, in case of death before issuance of patent, the beirs-at-law take by purchase directly from tbe Government, independent of debts, liabili ities, executors, administrators or devisees. Tbe respondent gave notice that he would take aa appeal to the U. b. bupreme Court. Malcolm McCormick. respondent, vs. Wm. Sherlock, appellant. Since tbe decision of tbe court heretofore made, sustaining tbe motion of the respondent to strike from the 5 files the exhibit used in evidence in the cir cuit court, there remains but one question to be passed upon by this court, namely : whether tbe recorder's court of the city of Portland, ia which the action was originally commenced, had jurisdiction. This court, at tbe last term, held tbat the Recorder of Portland is. ex officio, a justice ot tbe peace within the city limits (2 Oregon, 175), and that decision ia now adhered to. i he sub ject matter of this action is within the juris diction of justice's court, and tberelore the Recorder, as such a justice, had jurisdiction. Judgment affirmed. Salem. Sept. 2'J. 186'.).. State of Oregon, appellant, vs. Daniel Bunts, respondent. , This nppeal is taken bv tbe State from a judgment of the Circuit Court for Clacka- I mas county, committing tbe defendant un til the tine should be paid. The attorney for the .-late claims that the defendant should h.. ve been committed till tbe tine and costs were paid. It is not necessary to pass upon this question, for there is another fatal objection to the appeal. The statute (criminal Code. sec. 227) provides tbat an appeal may be taken by tbe State in crimi nal actions in only two cases, to wit : 1. Upon a judgment rendered for defend ant, on demurrer to tbe indictment ; and 2. Upon an order of the Court arresting the judgment. This appeal does not come within either of these descriptions, and this Court there fore has no jurisdiction, of the cause, and could uot reverse the decision of the Court below upon the question sought to be rais ed by the appellant. The appeal is dis missed. Salkm. Sept. 30, 18G9. The verdict of the Court below, in the case of Lesser vs. Shultz et al.. was affirm ed, and that in the case of Thompson, ap pellant, vs. Zeiber, respondent, was re versed. The argument in the case of Giltner vs. btehman, was concluded and the case sub mitted. The case of Wm. 0'IIara and Catherine O'llara. respondents, vs. City of i'ortland, appellant, was argued and submitted. TELEGRAPHIC SUMLIARY. Niagaru Falls. X. V.. Sept. 24. A party of one gentleman and lour ladies, all be longing to 1'roviOVnce. Rhode Island, after viewing the sights on this side crossed over to the. Canada side. While the carriage was crossing the curve opposite the preel pice, in (loot ol tbe Clilion House, the horses became unmanageable, anil it was evident that they would go over the ban!;. The driver and .Mr. Tillinghast. of Provi dence, jumped off and escaped with slight injuries, and the carriage, together with the (Vur ladies, went down tbe bank, titty feet. Mrs. Mahala Smith was horribly mangled and instantly killed ; Miss Ann Ballon was dangerously injured and cannot recover. Mrs. Tillinghast and Mrs. Fisher were badly bruised, but not dangerously. Ihe acci dent happened while an inquest was held on I lie luMly at p. man who had committed stiicjde at the same place a day or two pre vious. Business in Wall street, New York, is much atl'ecied by the failures resulting from the gold panic. Two millions of gold has been sold by tbe order of Secretary Bout Well, and realized ljtrtjlSlj. Large amounts ot gold are withdrawn from the Banks of h'ngland ami Fmnee for shipment id Xew York. The Xew York tailur:s are said to be generally sm;ill firms.

Cuban insurgent near the sugar districts are reported to b? treating with Spanish authorities relative to surrendering. The Cuban Minister says the Cuban Con stitution guarantees universal freedom to slaves Wherever the army of the Repub lic marches, freedom is proclaimed to all. A fast sailing Cuban privateer is now on her way trom a British province for Cuban waters. She can engage any vessel in the Spanish navy, with one or two exceptions, anil from th-se. she can run away. Her commander hopes to capture vessels carry ing the Spanish Hag. and t-ke them into .Mexican ports, tbat country having acknow ledged belligerent rights. Dr. C. F.

They have a nice pavillion. painted white, which stands uway from the scent and concision of the crow d. Eight or (en new booths have been creeled and preparations are bein made generally for a numerous attendance. They have bad several races already. Red Jacket, Snow Flake, Jeff.

There will be no lack of shows, and with lajjer beer, whiskey on ihe side, striped candy, swings and b) red ap ples, the happy "Yahoos"' will be politely relieved ot many a kale seed. r Avery & Morris are here with the 'big o.v," but from tbe aspect of affairs now. they will be in luck if they pet away from here with more than the horns and tail, while the lawyers will probably get his body.

A lloor is laid at the grounds upon which a schotd is to be taught, during the Fair, and a race is to come off al-o in which they expect to make the time in le.-s than six minutes. I took a bird's eye view of the town from the cupola of the Court House, and was struck with the absence of street improvements, especially shade trees, which made me leu times more in love with my own town, the paradise of Oreg n. with its broad Avenue, wide streets and magnificent residences.

The Oregon mist is rattling r.gaiust the window hard enough to knock the glass out; the wind blows cold from the south, and, altogether, I am afraid that the Fair will be too uncomfortable to be successful. A. Albany. Sept. 29, l?.l. Tbe wfalher was so unfavorable yester day that comparatively few were in attend ance at our County Fair. It rained the greater portion of the day here so as. to keep away many articles intended for ex hibition ; indeed, the storm has nearly to tally excluded tbe ladies thus far from the Fair grounds, ami the Pavilion is yet al most empty. Tbe only thing or things punctually on band were tbe irrepressible men of the turf and their race stock. This is not surprising to tbe citizens of Linn, us it is a well known 1'iict here that the annual Agricultural Fairs of our county ure man aged and run in the interest of what is known here as the "Jocky Club," a class of men wbo devote much of tbeir time to tbe training and racing of horse. Hence large premiums were offered by tbe Linn Coun ty Agricultural Society(?) for tbe fastest of certain classes and grades of horses, while it is a well known fact here that tbose fast horses are owned by members of the "Jocky Club" or "sporting men,' wbo con trol the whole management of tbe Fair grounds and tbe proceedings of tbe Soci ety, as tbey own sufficient stock in tbe So ciety to control its action. Thus they fix, alter and revise the 'premiums offered to suit tbe hcrses. and until they are satisfac tory to all the members of tbe "ring." The mechanical Department shows five or six gang plows, one grain sower, one grain Bcparator,.a common Seine Family Sewing Machine, a washing machine, churu, and a Barstow cooking stove, (if you Ihlok tbe stove dout belong iu tbia depart ment, shove it up somewhere else or strike it out.) l AT I LK. : Owing to the great inducement offered io premiums by the Sociely(?) for the best cows, calves, yearlings, oxen and bulls, there were on exhibition up to 11 o'clock, a. m., of to day, the large number of two scrub bulls.
