Contested Election Cases.
Among the important mattera ari
sing before the Legislature, and o
be disposed of at an early day, are
the contested election cases in
wbich the seats of Republican Sen
ators from Benton Longlas and
Yamhill, and tin- Republican repre
sentatives from Benton, Clackamas
and Yauihill Counties are corseted.
The Committees on credentials
f both lliiupes have reported the
Republicans from the comics men
tioned as entitled to participate as
the sitting memb rs, until sut h time
as the cafes can be readied in or
der aud determined upon by the re
ppective Houses. Tlic reports on
eredentials, wl.icli wire adapted
without diWcnt, we miiel fay are
jiiHtified by the ciicumetancey.
The contestants apjK-ared before tlie
comiuittee, and they f iljd to pro
diire any conclusive evidence in
support of their claims, yet even a
X rima Jiici showing entitles them to
A hearing before the respective
Houses. We hold the proposition
pood that every csise, tlmugli ap
parently untenable, is entitled to a
respectful bearing,' and. if necessa
ry, to the closest and most deliber
ate investigation, o far itseemtt
to be the determination vf the
p.e-scnt Legislature to act with j
justice. The Democratic contest
ants, wlto :ippe:tr and make their
cl.'iiiiis ii: the face of c inclusive and
overuling evidence, are influenced,
probably, by a hope that p irtinan I
prejudice may decide in their fa
vor. In this we trust they will be
deceived. The conduct of the Sen
tile at the lust session in the case
Dolpli and cls has been severely
commented upon throughout the
State. From assurances given by
those in the majority at the present
time, a different course will be pur
sued iu the determination of each
case.
The Republican silting members
are not only armed with certificate!
from the proper authority, but they
aie also prepared with full proof to
over throw the claims of the con
testants. The cases from Yamhill,
l'enton and Clackamas counties
will involve an examination as to
the legality of the votes cast. That
from Douglas in the case of Mr.
Herman, is one of eligibility, he
having been employed by the col
lector of internal Revenue to ass
sist him in collecting revenue taxes
in .Southern Oregon. It is plain
both under the law and the iacls,
that his position is simply that of
aent or employee of the collector.
a;:d sustains no more relation to tin
government than that of Senator
Thompson of Clackamas, who acts
as Deputy Surveyor, or that of Senium-
Trevitt of Wasco, who has
bet n acting as agent for llaj. Gen
eral Steele in the disposal of Gov
ernment property of Idaho.
"We leave the whole matter to
ti c judgment of the Legisla ure
with considerable expectations,
(wairanted by proceedings up to
this time) that they will act fair
ly. The working majority is suf
ficient to make their power indispu
table, and this fact renders any
merely partisan conrso as uuueces
s iry as inexcusable. Party exi
geae'es may sometimes override
ain ess, but when they do not ex
s: any unfair course is doubly dis
1 on rable.
MlsUkeu Identity.
Tbe Republican editor of the Port
land llerald is endowed wilh uiore
cheek and brass, than any two "coufi
deoce" mtu wo know of. He actually
has tie impodjence to advise a Demo
cratic Legislature a to wbat shall br
its actions, and bow the thing must be
door. This, coming from a Rrpublicaot
cn be regarded iu no otber light ibat.
a direct insult to the Democratic mem
bers of the Legislature. Our view oi
the matter is, that the editor is labor
iog noder the impression thai the prrt
nt Legislature is Republican in coin
pleiioo, and that be, being a member
of that psrtj, bas a right to come fir
ward and give bis adice (7) The get
tlemau, we are sorrv to sav, is muta
ken io his belief. Our time will tome,
and theu perhaps, he m) gie vdi to
ponderous suggestions; but until then,
Tor modesty's take, we would advise
him to keep quiet. Be patient aoc.

Thursday, September 15, 1870.
Houa met met at 10 a. tu. Minute?
of J esierday were read and approved.
Dorris offered a resolution that a se
lect committee of three tie appointed lo
investigate the c'aim of V. It. Dunbar
to a seat in this House
Dunbar moved its reference to Com
mittee on E'ection.
VV bailey thought the Committee on
Credentials bad decided tbe question
y reporting Mr. Dunbar as eutitled lo
t seat, and hoped the Speaker woul'1
rule tbe resolution out or order.
Dorris aritued tbe question at length,
and urged tbe appointment of a stlect
omtni'iee.
Wballey read tbe clause rela'ing to
'he dune of Committee on Elections,
nd tho'igbt tbe certificate ot election
aas evidence io tbe absence ol any
contest, or notice of contest, ana'
bouuht the action proposed UDnecet
arv, illegal, and out of order, aud due
o a partisan feeling.
Mr. Wbiteaker bad not beard of tbe
resolutico, but tho-ikbl it could do no
harm, and was legitimate, aud should
vote for it.

alive to qualification of members rela

Dutibar wanted to oflVr a few re

Dorri thought be should not he al

Grant thought Dunbar had a right to

Lane had a wrong view of ibe matter.

entitled to it.
Oloey naid th election aot being
questioned, and the Committee ou
Klectioo being burdened with busi
nets, be should vole for a (elect com
mute. Tne propositioo to amend by refer
ence to Committee on elections was
lost, aud tbe resolution wa referred to
special commiHee of three, composed
ot D .rris, Wballey and Cal l well.
Elkins, ot Lino, offered a joint reso
lution to appoint a committee to Mam
inn and report oa condition of the
penitentiary.
Wbiteaker thong ht tbe report oo the
penilea iary' would fee in before maty
days, and tbe adoptioo of tr resolu
tion would be premature before it re
ception Tbe vols being' taken, tb
rrsolaiioa failed to pas.
' Lockhart ottered a resolution that

Paqu-t offered (louse joint reiola
ion (bat a committee of 3 of each
House be appointed to report Joint
Kale. . Passed.
Amis of Linn, gave notice of inten
tion to Introduce a bill to abolish cane.
Also, a bill to a-rend th Uw exempt
ing personal property trom taxation.
Oa motion of Wbiteaker, the vote
on committee to investigate and report
oa Peaiteoliary, was reconsidered and
laid oo the table.
Helm gave notice of a bill to amend
lwt relating to lient, mechanics' and
otber.
Paquet moved to reconsider the vote
by waich contested case io Benton
county vera referred to select commit
tee. . r
: Helm thought tbe motion oat ot
order.

Cbalr prooouoced tbe motion ootof
ord- r.
Davenport took ao appeal from the
ruling !f the Chair.
Gluey suggested a motion to di
i4jarge tbat comtiiitlee would be io
order.
Davenport withdrew bii" appeal, and
Pa i net made tbe motion to discharge,
tbe committee.
Wbt'eaker opposed the motion as an
insult to the committee.
Davenport said acb wa not tbe
case. The Cbair wa aid to be attor
ney for contestants, and prepared to
prosecute the case, which be considered
ansa tor tbe ducbaraje of tba commit
tee. Helm laid be bad not been attorney,
or drawn papers, or done any act as
attorney to gather testimony. He
thought tbe opposition wa to him as a
Deroi.crat, anil tbe ttalemeot were
made for a pu'p se. He denoonced
the whole thing as a fabrication. The
H uise cannot iu eud to intuit tbe corn
uiuiee as tbe motioo intenaj. i ney
have partly done tbeir business already,
and uo objection bad been made by
be attorney of tbe siltiag members.
Judge Chenowetb. He cballeoged the
gentlemen to tbow testimony and give
tames. . ..
Davenport would only correct the
gentleman from Linn. He only knew
htui as a Democrat, and did not im
peach his motives, but he thought ibe
lacts warranted the excusing of tbis
comn.ittee, and that the business be
pa sued over to lb stat-dicg committee
Mr. Hare would vote to discbarge the
Otutotiee, beiatife there were three
conte-ted cases Similar questions
wmi Id arise iu each case, and it would
ave work to bave one committee pa-s
up.in all tte e questions of law io tbe
same manner. In case of several com
nni'.ees, tbeir aclioo might conflict.
II - m ide an appeal to the tuagnauimit)
of the majority. The sitting members
were not satisfied, and Ibatwas a cause
for action.
Durris nev r knew a cri t.ina' wh
was satisfied wi b a jury, and ibene
men would never tie saiisticd witb a
committee composed of Democrats. To
have const-teucv, the coulisted casrs
might all tie referred to the select coin
uiittee, of wbicb be was a ru-tuber, and
ba would lie niihog to try tbem all.
1'iillon thought the opposition was
hound to ret up tbeir co nplalut at ai.y
hiog the Democrats could do. He

and low tone, sud beed pardon aud
