The arrival of General Sherman
j ii Oregoa i a matter of conewlera
general interest, for the jieople
' of the United Stales recognize him
as one of those men who most ma
terially aided to put an end to the
civil war, by proving himself to be
an able and efficient commander of
the armies niaraliallcd to defend
and preserve the Union. The
march from Atlanta to the sea
proved to be a matter of easy ae
(conipli'huicnt, but iruincts and
confidence were requisites both to
its iuccptiou aud fulllilliuent. Sher
man "Waa the first General to bIiow
; appreciation of lhe power of the re
bellion, and to exercise the energy
necessary to its overthrow. Vr
id no child's play. The puntouiiues
of McClellan were not warfare. lie
. . ebunneti conflict by dilatory advau
ces and retrograde marches ; too
timid to advance, and too powerful
to retreat. It was only when
Grant and Sherman became tin
moving spirits of the campaigns that
the Union was effectually sustain
ed and preserved, and to them, and
their able lieutenants, the nation
owes its very perpetuity.
Ill the II use. yesterday, a reso
lution was offered recognizing his
service and inviting Sherman to
visit the State Capi'ol, which was
met on the part of a number of
Democratic speakers by violent
attacks on him and denunciations
of his campaigning. These rcmaks
came from men who were arrant
rebels and who evidently forget the
great majorities by which the peo
ple of Oregon sustained the war,
and the rejoicings with which they
beard of General Sherman's victo
ries. The House might do well to
remember that all Democrats were
not Secessionists, and that failing
to do honor to Sherman is only to
make themselves ridiculous.
rarthan Legislation.
Jlr. Dorris, of I-anc, makes a di
rect appeal to the Democratic ma
jority in the Legislature to grant
him their, partisan support in au stt
tempt to divide the office of County
Clerk of Lane count7 so as to sepa
rate the office of Recorder from that!
of County Clerk, lie puts the
case in the plainest possible form:
says they have a republican elected
and acting as County Clerk of Lane
County and he want?, evidently, to
lose no time in reducing both his
fees and life official importance to J
the lowest possible notch. As to
the division of the office of County j
Clerk, as is provided for in the State
Constitution, we have no objection
to make wheu it shall be found ad
visable and necessary. Hut wc are
'not prepared to belcivc that because
the Democrats of Lane, in a fair
election, not being satisfied with
the Democratic nominee elected the
Itepublican candidate, the Democ
racy of all Oregon, assembled in
the State Legislature will go
through the forms of partisan legis
lion, as Mr. Dorris plainly com
mands them to, to please his fancy
and pamper hij prejudice. As to
the incumbent, we have not the
pleasure of his acquaintance and
, are not the least iutereaed in him in
any way. We know nothing of
his election, save that he was able
to command votes outside of his
party, which strikes us as to his
credit. We judge the case solcly
upou Dorris shaping of it and sin
cerely hope the House will not
throw the weight nf all its Democ
racy into any measure that young
mau may thrust before it. And in
this connection we will say that we
believe they will not, as his rancor
and prejudice are too apparent.

Dorris wanted to see an oflice made
for a Democrat in Lane county. He
did not want bis bill mixed up witb
those to be brought in from other
counties.
Davenport coulda't see tbat the bill
was entirely local. Several counties
were anxious to make changes in re
spect to fees, and as to the division of
tbe duties of County Clerk. He
thought all tbe propositions sbojld be
considered together, and all acted on
consistently. He faroted reference to
the Judiciary Committee, which Dun
bar accepted.
Wballey said there was no intention
to claim such action for Multuomah
eonty.EIe believed partisan toes sbonld

and Mr. Atnif, the Lane county
Later .t il.o "pig-tailed rat-taling
Chinese, " to use Iiitt own e'egunt
phrase, U tvidenlly a new beginner.
Mr. Amis is an "honest Democrat,"
and lmtes the Chinese, as how
could he help but do so, :ilti r all
tlie fury agitint-t tin in during the
late campaign. Mr. Ant's, like
many another Democrat, is a man
of one idea, and lie is to be cxctiK-d
for calcliing his one idea this time,
from Giovcr. Mr. Amis spent the
etiuiuier, since ilis election, drawing
up this bill to discourage "c.-rste,"
a'.'d it contained all Lis geiiius boil
ed down and intensified. Wo say
it contained, lor alas, if the rpeukers
ruling holds, tlie bill ttov contains
notting, it lies perdu, lost, defunct,
"on tiie table," and all .Mr. Amis'
summer wotk ami bis legislative
thunder is gone lo wasle. We in
sist on it that sal volatile be applied
to both Mr. Amis and his bill, and
that each be allowed to run their
allotted course iu due season, with
out accidental and untimely squelch"
ing.
At the same time we beg permis
sion of our Democratic friends to
be allowed a tjuiet laugh at the fact
that they legislated this poor bill
on "caste" to death, and plumped
it into chaos, in the effort to save it
from Davenport's amendment. If
they have not bad enough of
tbat bill yet, they had belter give
the next performance upon it in a
more commodious Imilding with a
moderate charge for admission, and
we will insure a full Louse, if the
Statesman can niuk a trifle by
advertising it.
The Judiciary Conimi'.tec aston
ished the House yesterday, by mak
ing a report on the bill, which really,
dc fncto, seems to Lave been in Mr.
Helm's pocket all the while the
House was ridiculing if. That
committee is trying the sal volatile
of a report on it and should be al
lowed to bring it to life once in a

pense of spending their money for
other amusement. Eeally, howev
er, the committee id right. On Sat

Aa attempt was made to put it oat,

formidable dimensions In aa instant.
Attention was immediately turned to

worked with a will. A number took

was united,-and one engine set at tbe
intersection of State and Commercial

rapidly to leave any hope of saviDg the
building, aqd all that could be done
was to save tbe adjoining rtsiileiices.
A heavy stream of water waa kept
playing around the engine and costly'

the citizens were busy savinp adjoining
buildings, in which tbey partially suc

formed and buckets paBeed to the top
