Ye are now in the filth mouth of the publi

quest for paviiieot of subscriptions, desirous
that you should have full opportuDi'y to left,
and so fairly approve or disapprove our course.
Determined to do our I ft nd let tbe

'by ruiilizing a success, nliich, iiltimugh woder-
. ate, bus beta entirely satisfactory. There
are abut three hundred naw subscribers on
our lista, nad we eonstitutly receive additions,
as well as friendly assurances from all quarters.
: Of course it takes money to run a newspa-
. per, and mure of it than most people suppose.
to we would simply say that we ebull always
be. piepared to eeml receipts to thoe who tan
pay up.
A great campaign is approst'bing and we
are anxious to be 011 bnnd, and always be
fouud iu tbe front of battle. Great baitles
are jeldotn fought 01 credit, go if you help
us out with cash, you will supply us with the

to enlarge and improve tbe Statesman, aud it
depends entirely on the support he receives
whether he can be able to do so.
We propose to give the people of Oregon at
good a paper at they irill pny jor, and to wake
it a success by making it in all respects a
people's paptr. If you know any good man
who wants the Statksmas, fend us his name,
with the understanding lht he pays fur it in
six Mouths, and sooner, if be can. It is part
of our faith that every sober working man
in the land outfit to have a State paper, and
that every man who wants to read one, is
good fur tbe subscription price. We desire to
call the ntteution of our readers and friends
to tbe fart thiit we now publish about a much
again of matter as the Amkhica Unionist
enntaincd at the time of discontinuance. We
shall' increase the Statesman to tLe size of
the largest paper now published in this Stle
when five hundred more subscribers are ad
ded to our list, and anything our friends can
dc, to help, us tu reach that number will be
fully appreciated. We repeat again, that the
Statksmas t-bull be as good und as large a
paper as th people will pay lor. Please ex
amine the direction of your paper and see if
the date on tbe tag is the date to which yon

I Timber on the Public Lands.
The following we take from tbe Washing
ton correspondence of tbe Sacramento
Cnion. Dec. (ith :
Recent Citlifornii papers show that cer
tain persons, assumitig to be Ihe agents of
tbe Lund Depiirimeui. are making requisi
tions iri Nevada county and elsewheie. con
cei iiing the Consumption ol t mber on th
public land, aud ate levying atiimpage
tberelor. These articles reached lieie a
few da 8 since ; aud your Congressman.
Sargent, immediately submitted them to
the Coiuuiis-iouer ol Ihe Land OfBce. with
a1 full statement of the condition of the
mountain communities, aud endeavored to
show that the regulations under the ancient
legislatio'n is nntdapted to the circumstaii
ces of those communities, and. if enforced,
will work destructively. He has asked
that any proceeding uuder these old regu
lation be stayed until Congress has bad -ip-porlunity
to pass up n tbe question. The
matter is now being considered by tbe
Land Office and Sargent has strong hopes
that his request will be granted. Mean
. while, he b, prepared a .bill, which be will
soon introduce, piuviding for tbe survey
and sale, ia quantities nut to exceed. ix
hundred and lorty acres to any one person,
of all lands unfit for cultivation (and not
mineral), by means of altitude or other per
manent causes, but which may be utilized
as timber or wood lands, at the minimum
price of public lands, txcept when within
the exterior boundaries of railroad grants,
in wbb b case to be double minimum. Tbe
maximum quantity of land is put at a sec
tion, so thai saw mill men may buy enough
for a saw mill, if they desire, while under
the tbe law any one can buy as little as
forty acres if be desire', lr this bill be
comes a law, it will solve tbe timber ques
tion, by taking away the necessity of dep
redating upon the public lands. It there
can be private ownership ot these lands
less timber will be wasted. Careful pro
vision will be nude to protect all home
stead and pre emotion claims, tbe timber
necessary lor tbe ..use of miners and agri
culturist, etc. The provision in regard to
timber for mining is inserted for fear that
tbe companion bill may fail, whicb is to
provide lor obtaining title to miuing claims.

Gen. Grant and tbe Senate.
Tbe Striate of tbe United States, consid
ering itself as one of tbe branches of the
appointing power, lately demanded, by a
resolution, that lb President sbnuld fur.
nibh that body with the correspondence
und recommendations made to the Presd
dent for the appointment of Circuit Judge
of the United States, quite a number Lav
ing been la'ely nominated by the Presi
dent, nnd tbe persons nominated not beinjz
such as most of tbe interested Senators
would have preferred. Gen. Grnt quite
ileeidedly declined to comply with this) de
mand, and we bave later intelligence tlmt
wben tbe Senate considered the question
again, in eX'-cuti.'e session, the resolution
irukinjr the demand was 'wilful; awn. autl
.nether udopted n q ieyt ng b'tn to iuinisb
all the intui tu niou on iliat subject.
There has seldom, if ever, been a man at
at the head of ibis nation who possessed
an m'ich force f character, coupled with
so little pretension, as is shown by Gen.
Grant. Although he is not a born or edu
cated diplomatist, nud only governs by
simple business rules, his success is rem li k
able, fully illustrating the great advantage
plain dealing and practical common sense
possesses in accomplishing tvsiilu. It is
Bile to predict that our foreign policy will
not be complicated during his udmiuisira-
lion, und neither will the process or borne
government become identified with schemes :
of wily politicians, or by the tricks of de- I
signing men. His independence in assert
ing his rights against the Senate has cmn
manded universal lespect, and even that
body has withdrawn tbe obnoxious de
mand, lor it was an invasion of the private
right of the Executive to listen to recum
uiendatious. and whh great unanimity and
good will t bey prefer in its place a request,
with which he will, doubtless), feel pleased
10 comply.
West Side Railroad.
We learn that efforts are being made to
secure Congressional aid for the railroad on
the west side of this valley; that petitious ate
beitig circulated ami signed universa Iy
there, for un additional subsidy to help tbe
construe ion of the road so much needed
through those counties.
We see no reason why similar petitions
s'totild not circulate throughout this State,
for no one doubts or denies the great need
ot railroad facilities there as well as berei
and no disposit'on prevails to keep one sec
tion of the State backward and without the
tbe means to realize a most permanent and
thorough prosperity. Congress can well
afford to aid the immediate development
of this portion of Ihe Union, which is capa
ble of- becoming one of the most wealthy
and prosperous under favoriug ciiCum
stanees. and if niade populous and wealthy
can udd much to the actual strength of the
Goverrynent and to its ability to defend the
northwest coast in case of war or invasion.
The Chinese Question.
We bave received the fo'lowing bill,
under tbe frank of Senator Williams :
Mr. Willi not asknJ,anJby uumiinjus

The Star in the East
It is a pleasant thing to find, occasionally,
a day iu lile'g pilgrimage devoted to happi
ness to we almost everj class of the min
gling multitude, lorming the basin of socie
ty, agitated by tbe same impulse and shak
ing off the dull cares ot lite to mingle their
rejoicings. These are the common links
that unite tbe bnman family, that make tbe
world akin ; and on this morning, when
pleusure rules tbe hour, when the glad
greetings ot ' Merry Christmas " pass from
the lips of nil. and there seems no room tor
jt-alousy. uo excuse for Jiate, it is well that
we elu ul t rt ii e. iiber the orig a of tbe anni
teisary we celebrate, and with all love aud
humility bear that remembrance.
To-day the Christian world celebrates tbe
anniversary of t. e lime when Christ was
bi r.i. In all ihe joui uey of the sun to da)
it wakes tbe acclaim of rejoicing millions.
In every home there is tbe sunshine of un
commou joy; tor tbe gratelul heart ot
ChiisienUom. claiming the gilt of salvation
us its best aud holy heritage, makes holiday
fur all who live. We weave garlands ot
tigiten to commemorate eternal life.
We give gills o those we love, because He

Christmas. Messrs. M. J. Allphin, Logue
& Adams and V. M. Lnughead bave laid us
under obligations that will be fully appreci
ated at dinner time to-dav.
A gentleman from E da informs us that tbe
attack on the boys of that place in the last
( number of the Polk county Timet was quiie
j overdone ; the boy3 may be considerably to
blame, but they are not near so bad as tbe
Time represents.
Mr. B. Strang informs us that several days
since,, his little girl lost an otter skin cape,
somewhere- between the Bennett House and big
place across the creek. Any person having
found such, will confer a tavor by returning
it to him. '
Mrs. Dr. Me Curdy had the pleasure, last
evening, of greeting her son, whom she had
not seen for four years, while ho has been
prosecuting his studies; at the East. He prom
ised, some time ago, to take Christmas dinner
with her here, and he seems only to have ar
rived in time fur breakfast.
Quackenbush t Co., of Portland, bave an
advertisement in our columns worth the at
tcntixn of all engaged in wagon and plow
making, as tbey import wood materials for the
use of wagon and plow makers and the best
of carriage timber. It seems to be settled
that we do not raise the best quality of tim
ber in this State, and our readers can depend
upon it that the firm of Qaackenbush & Co.
import and bave fur sale tbe best timber for
ail those purpose?.
'
Attention of the public is called to the ad
vantage of usin stamped envelopes rather
than postage stamps. Almost daily numbers
of letters are dropped ia tbe postofiics, with
out prepayment with Revenuo stamps and va
rious other kinds of stamps which are held for
postage, whereas by the use of stamped en
velopes the letters would go forward without
delay. Special iriHuccaients are offered by
the Department to parties desiring to purchase
500 and upwards. For particulars call at the
Salem postoffice.
The bit case, which baa several times been
referred to by our corespondent at Dallas,
was rather an amusiDg afiVir, and the partic
ulars, ns given us by a citizen are as follows :
A saloon keeper of Dallas, sold o.ie of his
customers a bottle of whisky on whicb a bal
ance remained unpaid of 25 cents. The cus
tomer brought back the buttle of course, and
tendered it as an equivalent for tbe whole two
bits. The saloonist had told the man the but
tie was worth two bits, but refused to take it
back at that price ; and tbe customer, having
been told by the saloonist that it was worth
that, declared be would bave two bits for it or
stand tbe law suit. So they had a law suit for
the odd bit, and as tbe saloonist proved that
bottles were oidy worth a bit and tbe customer
couldn't prove what the whisky was worth, he
had to pay the bit and also foot the bill of
costs. i
Dailt Press. Our amiable cotemporary.
who so toploftically occupies the upper rooms
of the three story brick, publishes a prospec
tus, or kometbiug of the sort, for a daily pa
per, to be started in connection with his pres
ent intermittent weekly, and if tbe Democracy
can stand daily doses of that sort it would
gratify the Statksman immensely, as not only
is competition the life of trade, but two dail
ies would considerably liven up the town.
The great inducements expressed by the ven
erable being, wbo honors the world by living
to edit tbe Prett for undertaking, or rather
talking about undertaking this weighty enter
prise, is tho "desire- expressed in this commu
nity for the establishmeuts of a daily paper
here, that the citizens would not be ashamed
to send abroad as the representative of the in
telligence and social refinement of the people."
"Jes so Squair." Pat us down for a copy.
Ikpo'tast Lrctorbs. We have just been
informed that Professor Thomas F. Campbell
of Christian College, will deliver a coarse of
lectures in the Christian Church, in Salem,
next week, commencing Monday at 7 p.m.
The subjects - selected, on Monday evening.
"Demonology Tuesday, "The power of
the Air," in which he will pay his respects to
mesmerism, clairvoiance, spirit rapping, Ac,
4c; Wednesday, "Life and Death ;" Thurs
day, "Baoon'a Organon," applied to biblical
investigation. After which, he proposes to
present the Gospel in a series of discourses for
the consideration of saints and sinners. Prof.
Campbell bears a very hith reputation as a
scholar, logician and : speaker, and is re
nounced, by competent judges, one of the
most interesting add instructive Ministers of
tbe Gospel in the State. The subjects which
he has chosen are new, and of vast import
ance, anl from the known ability of thj Icc-
. turer. we tei justified in saying that the
coursj will be, altogether, one f the most in-
terestiag ver offered to tbe peopt of Salem.

Compliments of the parties received.
The Union .Hotel has a standing card in
this paper, as a refutation of the story that
has been current, that it is no longer open.
It is open, and Mr. Graves wants his friends
to know that be sustains his well earned repu
tation by the way it is being conducted.
By friend from Oregon City we learn that
two fires occurred there, one on Saturday even
ing, which did no damage, the other on
Sunday morning in the Episcopal Church,
which came near destroying that edifice. One
man was injured by falling, but our informant
did not learn his name.
Christmas passed off pleasahtly in Salem.
The Methodist Church in town and the one in
South Salem had Christmas trees, and the ex
ercises in each case a success. Tbe South Sa
lem Cbrismns tree was delivered of its abund
ant fruits upon Christmas evening. Tbe boys
around town kept up the usual racket, but no
unpleasant accidents occurred.
Tbe protracted meeting that has been in
progress during the past three weeks, at the
Baptish Church in this city, will be continued
during the present week. Quite a number
have been added to the membership, and tbe
interest is increasing. Services every day at
10.30 a. in., and at 7 o'clock p. tu. The pub
lic are invited.
Tbe Salem Dramatic Troupe will this even
ing perform Douglas Jerold's great tnorul
drama, " Fifteen Years of a Drunkard's Life,"
divided by five-year intervals. This is one of
the best plays of one of tbe finest of our mod
ern writers, and contains the finest character
of comedy. All lovers of temperance should
appreciate its influence. Doors open at seven
o'clock. Admittance 60 cents.
The Emancipation Jubilee will come off
next Saturday, as we bave before announced,
but we bear of a change iu the order of exer
cises, caused by tbe illness of J . K. braith,
who was engaged to deliver the oration on
that occasion. Rev. George P. Riley, the
colored preacher of Portland, has been re
quested to officiate in bis stead, and has
agreed to do so.
Several friends have lately sent us specimens
of the counterfeit money circulars, to which
we have alluded aud which we have exposed.
We can only say to all who receive such,
"Let them alone and pey no attention to
them, and tbey will do you no harm." Peo
ple who bave not got used to human deprav
ity, of course, are a little startled at being in
vited to become rascals.
Firs. The alarm bell sounded on Sunday
soon after one o'clock, caused by the sponta
neous combustion of a keg of phosphorus in
the back warehouse of the drug store of J. W.
Souther, and just behind the engine bouse.
Both the engines were soon out, hut the fire
was out soouest, ns some boards being knock
ed off the affair was speedily ended by the ap
plication of a few buckets of water.
Jeffkrso. Mr.. Ramsey, County Super
intendent, wlo has been in the vicinity of
Jefferson appraising school lands, informs us
that the people of that place celebrated Christ
mas Eve in a pleasant manner. Tbe Sabbath
School children bad appropriate exercises and
a Christmas tree at the Academy, while tho
elders assembled at tbe church where the even
ing was spent listening to music and appro
priate addresses, and in dividing around the
gifts upon the Christmas tiee and partaking
of a bountiful supper. Everybody seemed to
be full of enjoytrent.
Ssow. The wire from California informs us
that the denizens of the " happy climate "
have had a little storm, during which snow
fell to the depth of five feet. Oregon, with its
less favored clime, can't quite go that. We
hear of an inch and a half of snow in Wash
ington county, which lasted half a day, and
half an inch in Yamhill and Polk, but none
has yet been seen in Salem. Will our neigh
bors, who ignore all claims of Oregon to any
kiud of good name, please make a weather
item. of this?
No Incident. It is fine fun traveling on
the P. T. Company's boats this weather, espe
cially if one takes a wagon ride through the
mud for two or three miles before embarking,
as the Statesman reporter did yesterday, just
to bring out tbe contrast. Hut where boats run
righ along, without stopping for anything for
twenty-five or thirty miles, as the Albany did
yesterday, it gets monotonous. This may be
very pleasing to travelers in haste to reach
tbeir journey's end, but it is death to the hun
ter after items. Dinner was the only incident
for several hours, and that brought to mind
the dinner of two days before too vividly to be
as happy a time as it might otherwise have
been. The river is up to a good stage of water
for good boats, and tbe Company know too
much to run any other kind. They make good
time up stream, but going down ia fun.
Silvertox. Ralph Geer, Esq., has been to
Silverton and reports that tbey kept tbeir
Christmas in high old style. On Friday even
ing a ball was given for the benefit of the
Odd Fellows, which realized over $100 to
wards buying an organ ; sixty couplea partic
ipated in the "light fantastic" Next even
ing a Christmas Tree in the Odd Fellows'
Hdtl. Tbe exercises consisted of an essay by
Mr. Wolford, represented as an excellent
production ainging by the Liberty Glee Clnb,
antics by Santa Clans, who was well repre
sented and distributed about 500 presents
worth in all several hundred dollars. After
which some of tbe young folks got np another
dance and kept it up till midnight. A pleas
ing incident was a contribution taken up on
tbe spot on hearing of tbe distress of an emi
grant lady in thai plaoe. Between thirty and
forty dollars was collected in a few -moments,
showing that wben Silverton folks have a
Christmas they want everyone to be able to
enjoy it. . ! v " '

Link CpuxTr.-Efforts are making, we
learn by Ibe Register, to raise donations in
the city of Albany to '.be value of $30,000,
to 6ecure the location of the railroad line
through that town. Propos tions from
town proprietors were received, made on
condition the depot should be located on
their land ; tbe location of tbe depot
seemed to attract more attention than tho
location of tbe road. A correspondent
from Harrisbug informs that paper that the
citizens of that place bad met to consider
he possibility of raising S10.000 to secure
Ihe location of the railroad through that

The Stone Giant of Cardiff
For some months past the Eastern papers
have leen much occupied ia describing a
remarkable stone figure, discovered or bo
"tended while digging a well on a farm
near Cardiff, New York. Many believe this
giant figure of stone, part of which is wash
ed away by the action of tbe water, is tbe
petrifaction of a human body, over 10 feet
high and built in collossal proportions ;
others claim it to be the work of some
former race, who occupied this continent
long since, and some claim that it is a
fraud got np on speculation, and a very
profitable speculation it turns out to the
lucky owners. It is described by anat
omists as a very wonderful production and
perfect in every representation of the hu
man frame, and artists say it is an excellent
production of a work of art.
Tbe following is tbe summing up of tbe
case by a correspondent of the Sacramento
Union, writing lately from New York :
The stone giant whicb has been astonish
ing the natives of Onondaga county, where
it was found, is on its way to this city. A
friend of mine saw it ia Albany a few days
since, and while jhe concurs in the opinion
of the press thai it is well worth seeing, be
qualifies the state oent by pronouncing it
an ingenious fraud. A story is going around
that the giant was taken iuto Onondaga
county and deposited on the farm ot New
ell by Hull, who Ggures promin ntly in its
discovery anl subsequent proprietorship,
ami it is distinctly charged that several
mouths ago an iron.bound box was con
veyed bv a four-borse team down the road
letding lo Newell s bouse, i.un
md was not
bat Hull ap-
seeu beyond his farm, and lb
peared in that locality about Ihe same time,
There are various other suspicious circum
stances surrounding the alleged mystery,
and two or three scientific gentlemen,
among them Professor Marsh,- of Ya'.e Col
lege, i learn, have pronounced against tbe
antiquity of tbe statue. But notwithstand
ing this, the credulity of the public ap
pears undisturbed and stock in the stone
man has suffered no decline. One hundred
thousand dollars was offered and refused
for a one-fourth interest iu the statue while
it wa in Albany. His giantship proves
oue claim to tbe powerful ancistry wbicb
he represents, to be well founded be
draics well, filling tbe house nightly. His
draft powers are cerlaiuly superior to those
of tbe artists who have drawn bim for tbe
illustrated and daily press, though the cuts
which these bave presented of him were
probably not intended to be the "unkind"'
representations which tbey appear. Ac
cord.ng to a private account of tbe statue,
it is not a very sightly object, nor a desir
able show for ladies to visit. It is simply
a curiosity, and it is being brought to tbe
right market. In a few days we shall bave
the newspapers full of it.
Tus Fiiut Locomotive. The first effect
ive locomotive engine built ia America, was
built iu Philadelphia, from a draft by Ku
fus Tyler, in 1832. This gentleman was
then considered tbe best mechanic in Amer
ica. Tl e wheels of Ibe eojine were made
of wood, with broad rims und thick tires.
the n mge being bolted on the side, it was
called Old Ironsides, and was first put in
motion on ibe Gerniautown and Norristown
railroad, where it ran one mile an bour,and
was considered tbe wonder of the day. It
was ascertained t! at the wheels were too
light to draw the tender, and to overcome
this difficulty the tender was placed in lront
of the engine. This kept tbe w: eels ou the
track. Tbe maker und bis partner pushed
tne engine ahead until it obtained some
speeii, anu tnen jumped on the engine.
bteain was only generated fast enough to
seep it in motion a short time, so they were
compelled to ultimately push and ride du
ring the whole trip. It was regarded as a
success, the wheels were afterwards re
placed with iron wheels. This old engine
is still in existence ia Vermont. American

published in tbe world.
Ever since its commencement. The Wieklt

It has been well observed thit a careful read

Ihe Ikibukk i Ihe cnenpcU ana best paper

boast fulness. We do not claim any essential
superiority over our neighbors, except the su
periority of place fud opportunity. It has
fallen to New Yoi k f o create the greatest news
papers of the country. Here concentrate the
commerce the manufactures, the mineial re
sources, the agricultural wealth of the Repub
lic. Here all tne news gathers, aud the pat
ronage is so large that j uimalietg can afford to
print it. A uewepaper can be made in New
York for balf tbe money, and yet witb twice
the value of newspapers elsewhere. -This is
the strength of Tun fRiBV ni. We print the
Cheapest, and best edited wet kfy newspaper in
the country. We bave all the advantages
around us. we qave great Daily and oenu
Weekly editions. All the elaborate aud intri
i Kte machinery of our establishment perhaps
the moat complete iu America ia devoted to
the pnrpose of making The Weeelt Tribcne
the brat and cheitest newnpaper ia tbe world.
The rt snll is that we bave ao systematized and
expanded our rewuirres that every copy of
The Weekly Tribune contains as mnch mat
ter as a duodecimo volume. Think of it! For
two dollars. Hie subscriber to The Tkibcne for

TheWkeklt Tribune is the paper of the
people. Here tbe eager s ndent may learn the
last lessons of scieuce. Here the scholar may
read reviews of the best books. Here may be
found correspondence from all parts of the
world, tbe obd rvations of hi nee re and gifted
men, wbo serve The Tribune in a'aiost every
country.
Thb Tribune it ttrong by reason of ilt
enormout ei reulation and great rheapnett. It
has long been conceded tbat Ths Wieklt
Tkibunb has the largest circulation of any
newopaner in th j country. For years we bave
printed twice as many papers, perhaps, as all
of ihe other weekly editions ot the city dailies
combined. This is whv we are enabled to do
our work so thoroughly and cheaply. The
larger our circulation, the better paper we can
maxe.
What are the practical tuggettiont 1 Many.
Le. every subscriber renew his subscription,
and urge hia neighbor to do the same.. If a
man cannot afford to pay two dollars, let him
raise a club, by ioducing his neighbors to sub
scribe, and we shall send bim a copy gratit for
his trouble. No newspaper so Urge and com
plete as Ths Wefelt Tribune was ever be
fore o3ered at so low a price. Eveu wben our
currency was at par with gold, no such paper
but The Tribune was ottered at that price;
and The Tribune then cost us far less than it
no.v does We bave solved the problem of
making the bet and cheapest newspaper in
America perhapi in the world. Let as see if
we cauuot give it a million weekly circulation.
