Newspaper Page Textsn..;:. I v ' - SV'- V;- . i jr - a- . 1 SUNDAY. ParU InTested. : Slowly bat surely tb German hosts . htva ptMinted Franc and are sur ronadlns; Paris, tt has been on of tha moit r-tnarkabU epoch of history. . Tho arrogance and imbecility of tbe Xmplre hero no parallel in modern timet, and tba energy, power, and suc CMl of United Germany bat been - mora tbaa ooald bare been boped by tba eager and taagnine friends of tbe Fatherland. Instead of France in? ad log Profile aed seducing German State from tbeir nitr, we have Germany eeaaolidated, with iti amies weeping tbe botu of France from ex titemoe. Bat tbe Empire Is pait. Tbe Re public follows it, and the power of Fraao is bow in tbe bands of a Uoited and patriotic people 'who will eagerly die, if necessary, to defend tbe homes of tbe Republic. We look with regret on tbe spectacle of war continued Against the French Republic, and with mingled feelingi of admiration for innany figbting to conquer peace, and France throwing off tbe fastion of the Empire to wear tbe garb of free dom. Pre Mia should bare indemnity for tbe past, and guarantees for tbe fu ture. This is her right, and she can not well content herself with less. ' France needs peace, bnt ber people cannot tee the way to win it by con cession that would work dishonor. That tba French people can make ter rible resistance we certainly believe. That they will do so, wehave no doubt; and it seems as if tbe only way out of this difficulty is for tbe surrounding nations to interpose their good offices in mediation, and by claiming what is j fair for Prussia, as well as asserting j the equities due France, give each na- tion an opportunity to effect peace j without pushing the quarrel to tbe j bitter end. , j If Prussia asks too much, and insists ; upon it, (be may receive less than she I should reasonably have. The nations , re too jealous of theirown Interests to j let Prussia become so powerful by con- j quest, and the armies of Russia and Austria may yet threaten with more ' access than the ministers of those na- i tions have been able to mediate. I Judicial Contest. Mr, Bonhasa informs us that he will j camsnence a contest for tbe seat on the j BtprWme Bench for this district, as j .k. ...... i. mA;r.ri,A Th. i contest must be made before tbe Cir cuit "Court, and we have heard it in timated that be intends to take the mauler before Judge Upton of tbe -iih District expectingto be defeated there aud-tarry it op to tbe Supreme Court vnext year, when, Cpton being left out, as having once set on the case, and Boise not of course being eligible, tbe court will consist only of three demo cratic Judges, Messrs. Prim, Thayer, and JIcAttber, aad bis chances then be based on parti: an feeling. W bare : a fair opinion of Bonbam, and cannot believe that he is so anxious for a sea' oa the Bench as to be willing to re ! ceive it on such terms.. As to tbe j T.. 4 .... .1 .... U V. ..14 V. : B wuu.u u un willing to sink the duties of tbe Judici ary in tbe dirty pool where the politi cians dabble. Let Bonbam try tbe case ! before Judge Thayer, ana then the court will be two to one democratic,) and we Shall feel entire confidence in j the result, for while we do not intend 1 to disparage either McArtber or j Thayer, by suspicion, we bave an opin j oa of Judge Prim, based on many years ! acquaintance, and know be intends to do rfgbt, irrespective of partisan considerations. We have no doubt that Boise is le gally elected, and could the election ' be held over again to day, he would receive a majority sufficient to satisGy Mr. Bonbam that the people intended Boise t to be tbeir Judge in Ibe Third Judicial District. Senator Williams. Senator Williams and lady bare re turned to Portland, after spending a few days at tbe State Capitol, enjoying- the hospitality of Han. A. B Meacham. We do not understand tha the distinguished Senator was hen for tbe purpose ot presenting any claims for re-election, but he came as a visitor, and leaves tbe vexed ques tion to be decided in his absence. It is honor enough for bim that he re celves tbe entire support of tbe Repub licans, and commands at least the con fidence and respect of his political opponenti. He may well be contenter with bit friends, for be has lived U realize how earnest and sincere in thei. support. And they may well be con tent with him, because, while they sent him to the Senate to represent Oregon, and do what was possible to advance her interests, be has don more tbaa that. Not only making Oregon widely and favorably known but nrgtng her needs and advocating bar interest with more favorable re sults than any one bat ever before beet able to accomplish. Even more that ' this. We sent bim to represent Oregon, ; and be baa become known wherever j tbe English language is spoken at one of the statesmen wbo atand foremost 1 in tbe nation and shape its policy and Its destiny t , . . I The fact of a partisan defeat io Oregon cannot take away from bim the honorable name-he bee already won, or make bit constituents forget that be baa faithfully end successfully served tbem and tecured for them substantial beasfiu thowlng is everything under taken tbe best judgment in all things relating to our public improvements, land subsidies, and projected routes for great railroad thoroughfares. The mere election of another to occupy bit teat will not transfer to that one bit personal influen.ee, and political power, or enable tuch a ose to fill bit place. It will be a great misfortune to Oregon to displace bim, but we must conclude that the party which holds tbe power will to bm it, aud we may easily regret that of which we cannot complain. Wetball consider any Democrst wbo may succeed George H. Williams a sub ject for commiseration, for the repu tation of tba predecessor will be very certain to overshadow him, and the most treqaent remark be may eipee to elicit will tie aa obfaterable com parlsoa. ' ' ir Cataolle Tlewi- The Cathvtic Sentinel f informed that tba Sta'tssmajC 'takes frequent occasion to attack tbe Catholic Cburcb and its doctrines," and goes on to de claim tgtloit this paper as- "intolera ble," ealliag us a ."narrow minded bigot," ete. Accuses at of "ignorance," too, aad teeat to imagine wa bave no right to criticise matters of cbereh kistory, or to toiea oa matters of the ology. . Ws are plainly of tba opinion 'that any religious system which arro gates to itself infallibility, and denies and anathematizes whatever differs from it, bas little claims to considers, tion in a free country, and is absolute ly dangerous. These are oar views, and are general in nature, as mneb aimed at one denomination as another. We hope to live to see tbe Catholic Church liberalised and standing on the simple truth, side by side with other churches, not endeavoring to crowd all others off and consiga them to perdition. We have no prejudice against any system of religion that allows a man such privileges as a free man should possess, and meekiy strives to do good in the service of tbe Master. A reference to our lists shows that the Sentinel is not on onr daily ei cbange list, as we suppoced, and we have placed it ihere immediately. We bave not " steadily refused to ex change," and "the organ of the Cath olic Church in these parti" does not tell the truth wben it says we bave. While we really consider tbe principles of the Catholic Church dangerous, we beg to say that we do not so consider its ''organ in these parts.' Legislative Assembly of Oregon lath Regular low. HOt'SB. SiprtuasR 17, 1870. The Honse met at 10 a. rr., and tbe the exercises were opened with prayer by Rev. A. F. Waller. Minutes of yesterday read and ap proved. Committee on II. B. So. 2. "To dis courage caste in this State," reported amendment, tbe effect of which was to prohibit the employment of persons violating the provisions ot the bill. Tbe bill, as amended, was referred to Committee on Judiciary, and made special order for Tuesday next. SKCuXD HEADING OF BILLS. II. B. No. 4, To amend Section 9, Chapter 2, General Laws, relating to exemption of private property, was read second time. Whalley offered amendment to ex empt $j00 of personal property of householder. Whiteaker made suggestions as to course oi business, and euid bill should be referred. At suggestion of Olney the bill and amendments were referred to Commit tee on Judiciary. Helm asked leave to offer a resolu tion to increase House portion of Cum- miltee on Insane to 5. .. j it- A'ter considerable trouble about parliamentary rules, and proper course of action, quite a muddle being made, the resolution was put in shape and passed. Having bad an animated discussion about etiquette, parliamentary law and deportment, tbe House resumed second read in or of bills. II. B. No. 5, Relating to water tights, j etc-., was read secoud lime, and refer- j red to Committee on Mining. ! S. B. No. 3, To provide members with postage stamps, to value ot three dollars, just received, was read first t time. j Hare moved to suspend rules and read bill second and third times now This was carried viva voce, and then Whiteaker stated that rules must be suspended by two-thirds vote, and the roll must be called. Alexander, from Lion, asked if tbe second and third read follows a vote to suspend. Cbair decided it could not. Finally tbe motion was made in proper form andcarried, though tbe eagerness of the members to vote themselves stamps came very near resulting in a demoi -tioti of all rules. The presence of Whiteaker is worth at least $100 a day to the State, as be generally manages to lick the young cubs ioio shape, aud helps out tbe ioexperieoce of II r. Speaker. Mr. Amis, wbo had probably been reading the pig-tail bill over to him self, and was absent-minded, thought be bad voted on a call of tbe House, and was allowed to change bis vote. Grant wanted to amend so as to in elude tbe officers in tbe distribution ot the stamps, which was adopted, but not until after the mixing up ot mat ters again, during which Mr. Whitea ker was useful in drilling tbe awkward squad, so that finally the amendment was adopted, ibe rules suspended again, the bill read third time and passed as amended. Amis wanted 'o vote, but was not inside the bar when hit name was called. Some wanted to suspend rules and let him vote. Whiteaker fok the rules in band again, tkougb be began to get a little cross about tbis time, at he was doing all the work and not gtt ting apy extra pay. - Amis finally voted no without ob jection, and then Whalley came to tbe relief of the ' perplexed crowd with a motion to adjourn, and no adjournment was ever dene more speedily, or to greater satisfaction. At TKRNOOS SB.S8IOS. II018K. At 2. p. m. the Honse met. Dorris for committee appointed to examine and report as to tbe eligibility of W.R.Dun bar of Marion Co. to a seat in that body, made a teport that they bad examined tbe case and found Mr. Dunbar eligible and entitled to bis seat. On motion of Helmn, the report was adopted. House adjourned. BBN1TB, The Senate met at 10. a. m. Tbe minutet of yesterday were read and approved. Mosher for Judiciary Com. made re port that they bad employed Byron Holmes as their clerk. Tbe report was adopted, and tbe clerk sworn in. Uoltzclaw introduced S. 8. No. 3, To provide $3 worth of postage stamps for eacn member of the Legislature, wbicU was read first lime and tbe rules suspended for tbe second aud third reading, and tbe bill passed. Baldwin gave notice of a hill to cre ate an insurance Commission in Ore gon. Thompson gave notice of a bill to amend General Laws relating to feet of county officers. Baldwin introduced S. B. o. 4. To create a board of Equalisation, which was read 1st, 2d and 31 times, rules being suspended, and passed. Hendersholt for Com. on elections, made a report that tbe committee asked to be discharged from tbe further con sideration of tbe Bentoa County con tested election case. Tbe report was adopted, and on mo tion tbe matter of contest in Benton County was referred lo committee on tbe wbole. Tbe Senate then went into com mittee of the wbo'.e to consider the the same, and adjourned to renew tbe further consideration of tbe same mat ter on Monday next. More bones ; aod most uncommon ones. Prof. Glass has " discovered near Dayton, O , tbebooet of a serpent to enormous that possibly be may have been tbe Old Serpent, dead without our knowing ,it. Tbe fellow was huge indeed forty feet long and sev en feet in circumference: He it tup posed to bave been a victim of aome volcanio eruption, and also to bave been a Native American, unlets indeed be came from tome far-off region per favor ot an iceberg. He wat a terpen! greatly given to poultry, for a large number of bird bonea of unusual site were found io the place where tbe tom- ach would bave been, if there bad been any ttomacb left. Four hundred joints of tbit beautiful creature bave been tecured by Prof. Glass, and the end of the serpent bat not yet been reached. We don't like to dash tbe antediluvian exuberance of tbe good Protestor, yet our own opinion it that these are the remains of the "Demo cratic" party ; but even if tbey are, tbey are ttill great curiosities- JVew York Tribun .

The Judge must be on hand, and able bodied, next week, if be expects to take a hand in tbe Senatorial race. Fob the Metbopolis. The Solons of Uregou have concluded to repay themselves lor tbe toils ef the week by spending tbe Sabbath in the metro polis. Accordingly tbey acjourned early yesterday, and many of their number took the evening train for Portland. A Catholic Fair. We learn that the members of the Catholic Church in this vicinity, assisted by their friends, are making preparation to hold a Fair for tie bro fit ot ibeir church at this place, during tbe time of tbe State Fair. These entertain ments, while they add to the iuterest of the occasion, afford tbe who pat ronize them the salislnetiou of know ing that tbeir money is well invented. The Race. Yesterday afternoon there was quite a lively turnout to wi nes a race at the Fair Gronud, be tween Mr. Wm. Anderson's "Joe Hooker," and Mr. Porter " Frrn eater.'' This was a raceot HoO yards for a purae of $GUU, and was won by ' Joe Hooker," ridden by his owner, in a close and well ruu contes'. Fbom Klamath. Dr. W. C.

Frnm the evening 'a-(i'a wo learn that Messrs. Stitzel ii Vpton, Ileal Estate brokers, bavo negotiated with .Mrs. Margaret Sullivan for tbe sale uf SO acres, of land, bein a portion of the donatiou claim uf Timothy Sullivan and wife. The tract is situated one uiiie nortb-e. st of the ferry landing and adjoin ing the Wheeler donation claim, which was lately sold by Jacob W heeler i. wife- to Ben Holladay for a Kailroad depot and town site. The Sullivan tract is elepantlv located, and will be surveyed into lots and blocks in a short time. Parlies desiring to make investments in EHst Portland can do no better than to examine this tra-f la-fore purchasing elsewhere. Their terms of sale will be one third cash, and deferred pay ments on or before Ihe end of tbe year with ten per cent, interest. Gas Liuht. Last night the gas was turned on from Burrows, Tuibii; k Go's works, aod part of the town lit up for the first time. The following are tbe names of buildings in which the gas was burned, ag far as we have been able to ascertain : State House. Oeia House, Pattou's 'Block, tbe Bank, Miore's Block, Siarkey's Block, but ton's Stable, rfo.vage k Wright's Store and Relvidere Saloon. Thus have we takeu one more stride towards tbe furnishing of our to wo with the comforts and conveniences of advanced civilization, and e think tbe contrac tors are to be coaiiueiiiied for tbe.dili- g-nce and thoroughness with which they have prosecuted tais important enterprise to a successful end, and we trust that at no distant day tbey will be rewarded by a handsome profit on tbe investment. Importakt Sals. We learn that Mr. Thomas 11. Burt of this city has pur chased of J. L Parrish tbe premises adjoining tbe factory store block, on Commercial street, and directly oppo site tbe new hotel, frooting about fifty feet on tbe street, and occupied by a two story wooden building, used for Chinese washhooses below, aod for tenement purposes above. The price was $3,000, which strikes us to have been a low figure for sucb valuable property. The old house which is now put to sucb dishonorable uses was built 18 years ago this f a!, a-d the rooms below were occupied by our best merchants, lo 1852-3, it we mistake not, the Territorial Legislature held its Session there, but ibe old house bas seen ill best date, and soon, we hope, will be replaced by a stalely brick block. ' STATE NEWS. PORTLAND. From the Oreyonian: The vessel A. M.

Hayilen would be lost sight of. and not fore-tine that Amis miKht as lonish tbe world bv scioiillationB of, Anti-Chine se genius that even Grover might ?nvy. Yesterday's proceedings have Fettled tbe question that tbe Houpe is to have two leaders, wbo nat urally enough, work Side by side, stand sponsor to ibe Fame brillieni efforts, and form a barmonious tn-j ti ty en ibe fume Committee, as they have: done on ihe Benton county case. The flone promises to equal eny j show ever seen in O regno. Tbe ani j iiisls develop wonderfully on such j short trainit g. and already we bear of I tbe Tiirer of Polk .the Lion of Lion, and ihe Coyote of Line, besides which, there is that innocent animal the G - ratTe of ponglm. The Lion and th- Tiirer can be easilv identified, as thev have developed Iheir traits in publie for many years, hut ibe most imerest now centers in Mr llorris.a young man s-nt bitber by Lane county, lo lead tbe Democratic majority to new fields of glory, and whose i bas already won for bim tbe distinguishing appellation of the "Coyote cf Lane." J Yesterday, Helm and Dorris, as ma jority on a committee to whom was referred the contest from Benton county, made a report, while Mr. Hare, as minority on the same com mittee, dissented from tbeir finding. How tbey caa forgive Hare for bis dis sest we cannot imagine. Tbe day was spent by these two powerful minds in opposing a motion to bring the j evidence in tbe case before tbe House. How they swelled and blus tered, only those wbo saw can know How they finally p'ead and insisted that the House was bound to take their finding aod vote npon it without further evidence we cuiiiot readily at tempt to state, bo a- ass-ri ihai they had tbe hr-nrn'oii io attempt t cram their report loa n the throa's o the Democratic tn,j nty t'y pure toicr of assertion and pretension. It was really gratifying lo 6nally Bee Ihe House, by a handsome vote, 2C lo 21, assert its independence aid self respect, and determine that it would not rush blindly into tbe case without evidence, nor be bullied into taking any man's say so for a mutter they knew come within tbeir sworn duty The gentlemen who made the report laid themselves liable to many invid ious reflections by tbe attempt to com J pel Deraocials to obey tbeir dictation. Tbe House acted hooorably by respect ing the rights of the parties and de manding to see and know the evidence, and the speaker , showed a determina tion to do fairly without fear or favor Legislative Assembly or Oregon. Stsifc Megwlar Session. , MosuaY, Sept. 14, 1870. Tbe Honse met at 10 a. m., ihe ex errises were opened with prayer by Uev. A. F Waller. Minutes uf yesterday read, corrected and approved. DaShiee prevented a petition fiom citizens ot Umatilla county ."asking the tepeal of Sc. 3, of chap. 18, of Code, so far as tame . refers to Umatilla county, relating to feet of officers aud increasing the same 33 above the amount allowed by law, also to dimin ish talaiiis of Ccuoty Judges, aud to prohibit constructive milage White moved to refer to tbe Com mittee on Judiciary. Hare moved to refer to a Select Committee of 3, to revise tbe entire fees, be believed that Clerk's fees were 25 per cent, too bigh. Ue thought tbe Judiciary Committee bate too much work on hand to be able lo do justice to this important matter. . , Mr. Fulton thought teet too bigb gen erally, but that alter a reasonable re daction tbe eouatiea eatt of the moun tains could stand an extra per cent at neceesary to make op for expense of living there. Vote was taken and the petition referred to Judiciary Com mittee. Helm, Chairman from Select Com mittee to which wat referred the Ben ton coooty cootett, offered majority re port. Hare offered minority report of same committee. Majority report tet forth 'that 33 illegal voiet were cast ror Kelly and Duid, sitting member!, and T illegal votes were cast tor Carlish and Calloway, contestants, and that T legal vote're illegally refused fo Carlish and Cfelloway, and the tepor goes on to itA that they fin a Carlish uas 15 msjoBfty, and Calloway has 13 majority, ind are entitled to seats to this body.. ft The report was a ceo n panied by "a resolution intenced to carry out tbe terms of the report. -' The minority report eets forth that of voles cast for Kelly and Dunn, 11 votes moved to that county fortbe pur pose of voting at said e'eclion are ille gal. That the vl of one student of Corvallis should have been allowed for Carlish and Calloway, and that & others were legally excluded. The report eets forth that Kelly end Dunn are legally elected. The report con tained a resolution setting forth that W. J.Dunn and W. J. Kelly, are en titled to seats in this body. A call of tbe House was mov d. Tbe question was the most impor tant one yet arising, and bad an im portaol bearing upon tbe Senatorial election, as tbe contestants were sup posed to be Kelly men, and tbe issue therefore a test of tbe strength of tbe Kelly cause in Ibe House. Tbe gal leries were filled and the Senale was preseul. bavinK arj urued u wttiea the important pioceed ngs iu the House. Tne Sergeant-at arm, after a while, announced that Oitrauder cou'd not be found, and a motion to dispense with tbe fuither call of tbe House resulted iu ayes, 24 ; noes, 22. Helm thought Kelly an I Dunn sbould'nt vote on tbe motion t On pense with tbe rail, but ibe Speaker could not see why they should uoi vote. Lockbtrt moved to refer tbe matter to tbe committee with instructions to report all tbe cvideuce in tbe Houee Wbiteaktr moved to lay tbe motion of Lo. kbart on tlhe table. Ayes, 22 ; noes, 24. Amis thoughtsitting members f hould not vote, but the Chair ruled ibat tbey should. Lockbart argued in favor of his ro -tion to submit again the matter to the committee and hare them report .all tbe evidence back to tbe House in order to be able to do justice. Dorris ibougbt tbe House should bave so ordered in tbe first place, it would take one wbole week to ex amiue tbe case. Besides the evidence bad been turned over to tbe committee on elections of tbe Senate, lie object ed lastly, because be knew "47 men could never agree," which remark lei ded to thow that he bad more laitb in himself, as a member of tbe com mittee, tbau be did in tbe whole House. Whalley ihouubt tbe evidence was ne-easary to enable to do justice. Grant ibougbt 'he House was not a judicial body. Didn't know is ibe were to transact business even accord ing lo law, but to try and do justice. Grant Itieu went iulo the merits of tbe case, and was giving sum" of tile illegal votes of Hnitoti particular tus, and becoming eiciud ami eloquent over it, wben aometn.dy called btm t order, and ihe Speaker ruled that be vn.u't arguing tbe matter in hand, and as Grant's eloquence cm dn't staud against being snubbed by points of order, he sat down.

Lockbart recalled tne tacts in the session of IW'ili, lo show that then 'le .-tood mitti Helm from Linn, demanding in tbe case of Grant county contest ihn he full 'evid. nee should lie brought before tbe House, and lie stood now in he same position a then. Davenport t.atd be could not vote understanding!.! unless be ccul l know be evidence. It was the duly of the committee,io x ttiiine and collect evi dence, and Mitimit It to the Mouse. Olney thought the comni'ttee was j merely to prepare evidence and submit it to tbe House with iheir conclusions on ihe matter. The House should net base lis action on ibe opinion of tbe committee merely. He could not take ibeir asse lions as proof, but wauled to know what right tbey bad lria which they drew lbkir conclusions. He should not vote to displace any j member on the mere assertions ol a committee without evidence, and the ! otjectiou to introduce tne evioeoce 1 : . I ii,d ....... came wnu uau giaic noiu iue iwunui.- Dorris thought the gentleman didn't know all tbe ficts. All the evideuce is in depositions. They examined these aod reported what tbey found i i Itu io, . aud be thought, that soou'd be sans " factoiy. i Tbe House ought to receive one or tbe other of ibe reports and adopt it.' He decidedly oljeited to bating the testimony introduced bere, a3 the H iu-e couldu'l act ou it, lur it was loo voluminous. Olney couldn't 8-e ii in that light. If the committee couldu'l agree, how could thty expect Ihe House lo do so? Dunbir wannt to kuow it the sit ting memliers did not di-sire persons to be brought iu and examined. Helm said It, is was not d ine because each party bad agreed lo cousider bis ii u i ill -.le an I li n l i otter n y it ir : I I.i'i.! l':i..l !"'e r- mirks ut tne i y i't i t i-oiii "i t - r - -i . ti - m -.t.;fi i i, ir,. .- 'i a i- -h ti -I ii ivr Hi- v -. fit yh.v- sn.l n was couflictiug, and we should j elge fur ourselves of its importance and value. We we are tne jury to try the case, ant -ann.it do justice M il unless we have the eni'te evideuce. He re lerred, with considerable point and effect, to ihe tact that wben a tew days ago, an eli'-r w a made to lake a case out of tbe bands of the commiltee, do one made suoh objection to Ibat action as the members of ihe committee wbo made tbe majirity report, and he seemei to think th-ir aux'ety lo strve on ibe case no particular cause for faith in tbeir disiuierestedness. Hare Slated that Judge Chenoweih did proposeto introduce testimony, but il was not allowed Dortis made a statement relative to tbe nine matter. House adjourned. AFTEHXOOM SESS10M House met at 2 p. I ., and resnmed ccnsideiatien of Benton county con test. Tbe i oint of order being raised as to tbe riBhi c:f B'Impk rmmhera trom Ben ion county to voe on pie i uiuary mo tion. Helm argued at length that they sbonld not be allowed to vote. Loikhart spoke with considerable force and effect, and dm.iunced the ef. fort of the majority of Ibe committee to force Ih-ir views on the House, and deprive members of tbe power and privilege ot judging at to tbe merits of tbe case. Hare spoke in tbe same vein. Fulton begat to m-ke an impassion ed harangue on tbe merits of the contest, and was squelched by a call to order made by Dunbar. Dorris repealed, for tbe fourth or fifth time, bit little speech as a com mitteeman, claiming Ibat tbe members from Benion should not be allowed to vote Whiteaker madea eool and plausible speech, in which be argued wi b con siderable tact tbat Mr. President should rule against them. Davenport believed the vote to be taken wat one in which the member! had an indirect interest only, aud that they sbonld not be excluded. If tbe rote wat to be taken oo wbnt testimo ny we have, it would amount, on one side, to endorsing tbe report o' Mr. Helm aod Mr. Dorris, on tbe other that of Mr Hate. The geotleman from Linn it interested to have hti report adepted,- but it would be more to bis honor to bave Ibe report adop'ed afier Iborohgh knowledge of the evidence. Paquet quoted ibe rule as denjine members a vote on any motivn H: wbicb tbey are immediaiely acd pari- tilarlv luieraaied. 1 at tv 4 -r refer tbe matter back to tbe com mi is i t such a vote. ' Oiney didn't think tbey were so di recily intere.ted in ibis motion, at d quoted legal precedent io shew wbai be courts called a direct interest, be fore tbe present coda was adopted '. Amis thought this rgumeat favored ibe sitting members coasiautly voting ibemselves.lbe possession of their seals ny sustaining such motions whenever the direct qae.livn arose as to their right to seats. - Starkweather stated the case that as the sitting members do not know ibe ffect of bavmg the evidence brought bere, it does not make them particu larly interested. It may bave tbe t-fect-to oust them. It involves the hon or of tbe House to have the tsiimooy fully understood, and that our conslil a mi may know that we took pains to h ve knowledge on which to act. Whiteaker made anoterr effort to put bis rase plainly. He said if tbe mnion was that tbe question should be ii.debDinitelT postponed, it would be a question f direct mteres' this is a similar i as-.

Killj Klectfd f Democracy has confummated hi hopes much easier than vas expect ed, and considering the disaffection and rivalry which existed, the pub lic have re-ioon to be surprised at the ree uK Democracy had earned a victory, and was entitled to have the man of its choice in the United States Senate. It is true that the balance of power lay with the south ern members, and they should have been excused for demanding a man who was known to be their friend, and who did not need to be freshly converted to make him nn available representative of their interests. Kelly was not their reliable friend, for his course on the vital question of railroads had not coincided with their Tiews or conformed to their interests. 15ut Kelly had been sent too i'f.c:i . . . . .. t0 ,,,e r0llt to 1m 'nored FO easily now.

The Williams Amendment- All Oregon knows how Senator Williams, unaided and alone, int. r mim'J at the last moment an amend meiit to the ?o-called lluiubohlt t that waf to locate the terminus of the road in Rogue River Valley. And every body knows that this measure was received with a per -feet storm of abuse Ly the Demo cratic press oflhis State; that Hon. I. S. Smith wrote letters from Washington to show that "William, had not done well in this amendment and it was caue for hit defeat. The Herald struck off extras by the thousand, and hired runners to ride and throw them broad cast over the West Side on the eve of the elec- tiou. Ail Oregon rang with abuse of Williams, and Pengra and Gaston lent their Republican tongues to swell the lull mouthed Democratic clamor. Everybody knows, too, j how when Congressman Smith J came home, he said he would go back to sunjiort the illiams amendment if they wanted Lim to, but it didn't amount to anything because nobody would ever build a road to comply with the terms ol the hill as amended. ' Everybody knows, also, that when the election was over, aud candidates arose for Senatorial suc cession, the Williams amendment came to be a prodigiously popular thing. It was go broad that all Or egon could stand on it, except per haps Sullivan and Tengra, and even Kelly, poor fellow, when he came to stand up and take the solemn promises that resulted iu Lis election yesterday, had to plant his expansive foitn directly upon the William's amendment. Even before the coiiBuOiatiou ot the vole of the Senator, the two Houses had to re- dve in favor of the Williams a nendrucnt, aud perhaps the big gest joke of the season is to be found in the fact that this Demo cratic Legislature has seriously in-t-tructrd Williams to go back to Washington aud support ihe very nn a.-urc Democracy denounced him so earnestly fur originating. If Ileury Clay had lather " be right than !) Vn-riileul" to W'iU hiuas h t proved to bo righf, if he is not to be ijetiator. We quite enry him the drmhittim he Las wu, niid ft shottld be worth more to succeed in shaping' an Important measure and be endorsed by the whole Stale ' as wise and jadicions, than to be the subject of a mere partisan suc cess. The fact is that onr oppo nents own to a great respect for Williams and we beleive they hon estly entertain it. They have not elected him as Senator, but they have paid tin; higher complement to endorse oueofhis most independent and important Senatorial acts. Tbe Compromise. The two Houses took early action yesterday morning opoa a matter of considerable importance. Tbey hur ried through, tbe forms of adoption of a Joint Resolution which commands our Senators and Kepresentatives iu Congress to do all iu their power to secure tbe passage of an act granting aid for a branch to Oregon of tbe Cen tral Pacific Railroad, from the Ttend of tbe Humboldt, " with the Wiliiam . amendment.'' Tbis, then, was the measure ot i i-mproinise that had been agreed o-i -y the Cercbus which blockaded K. i y ' r..ad to Ihe Senate. This was tiie Hc-Hrr to the rM3 tiir anwer to the requiri mmta mid- by Fay, and the healing saive h-i h was to close the wounds ol Oemocracy. What noticed pr- ticulaily was tl-at this measure had to he burritd tbronch before tLe Sena torial vo'e was taken.
