The last Congress passed a fending
law to authorise the Secretary of tbi
Treasury to refund he Natiohai debt
which is now drawing an interest ol
aiz per cent per. an Mm at a lower rate
of interest. By this Jaw be can issue
and selKbonds of the Government sev
erally bearing interest at 5, 4 and 4
per cent, and with the proceeds redeem
the present outstanding bonds." We
bear by 'the dUpat'rbes that already
Secretary BoatweU bas received offers
to purchase four millions of these
bonds. 'The lower. Knrtat which they
can be sold is 90 cts on the dollar, and
aj English securities which draw on'y
, three and a balf per cent, interest are
selling fjr more than that price, there
is reason to believe that European cap
ital may" be induced to purchase all oar
bonds, for strange as it may seem to ns
who live where interest is commonly
computed at ten and twelve per cent,
per annumyia f ha old States of Eu

of capital which gladly seeks invest

Jsdge Bo ue DecUlon.
The late decision of Judge Boise in
relation to the; !8tate ' Warrants, on
which the petition for mandamus was
presented bas called forth many sug
gestions,, a majority ofwhich, bare
been ia good taste while occasionally
some one is considerably ill aatared
A lata writer in tbe Orcyentaa who
siens himself "J. K. D." after refer
ring to the reoat ks made (by another
correspondent of that paper, makes
ome remarks 00 that s a bject which
we republish,, because treatiag of a
matter of great public iaterest which
seem, like, ell tber sjuestioqs to have
two aides to it. He remarks as fol
lows : ..
"I propose In. his letter, with" jour per
mission, to mats aremart or two on anotn
er aid (be main, feature of Judge Boise'i
opinion. Qa rests that opinion principally
on the statute which provides that tbe See.
retary "shall examine aad determine tbe
claims of all persons -against the,' State, in
cases whsre procUion for tke fnymtmt of the
same $all iace ieea made by lam, and to
endoiae Bp m theianseant due aad allowed
thereon," ete. ; lading partiealar stress ap
on the words above italicUed.
Now the oweetioa-la, fa what eases art
"provisions made for the payment af
claims? All the regular and ordinary ex
penses of the 'Utile' k're VroVided for by
law. Tlie'salaiics are 'fixed and "provision
is made" for paying them in the laws by
which theyre eatesV P. l .'other
laws which prescribe the manner or carry-
in? on the BUteS GeveraaseBt; Take .the
Penitentiary as an illustration. The Code
provides for-' tie' appomtmcnl'' of- 'officers
over that instito.tion, prescribes their dittje
and fixes the rates or their compensation
tbat is, it "makes provision" for their pay
ment.. Tbe Superintendent is required by
law to purchase supplies ; tbe secretary
required to audit his accounts and issue
warrants fof .the same, o that jbere alo
"provision is made' "by law" for payment.
"his .might be, pursued further, but4 th
abova wiiL suffice for th Ulustratioav . .. '-
Now Judge Boise, it seerae plain; has
erred in.tblavia : He? haa axisUkea the
pressiou, "In eases where provisions have

Cow-Y)abd Salem It is said there is
a law of Salem tbat cows must not be hin
dered from making av pastore field at .-the
town. Ihey. may obstruct and bespatter ..
the sidewalks, break into gardens, frighten
women," break tbe grassy banks which
should line the streets and bark the trees,
and we must regard them as the Hindoos
regard the sacred' cows of" Brahma. The
law referred, to, is only good .for those, who
wish to keep cows, at , the expense of the
public and sell milk to those -unable to own
cow. 'f gaooest ia this business seems to;
have emboldened some, t adore their cows
with neek bands aad bells, which have the
effect of greatly disturbing the sick and.
driving sleep from the nervous. Is it not
time that Salem ceased to be a cow pasture ? ,
May not eitisees be protoeted ia setting out
trees and encouraged to adorn their fronts,
by the removal of this nuisance? If we
have city fathers let them bear this cry of
their children. ' Nothing short' of a fine
imposed on owners of cows, who permit
them to- run at large can meet tbe'ease.
Let it be applied speedily-.- A Sufferes.

The Swamp Land Law in Practical
Operation. 1
We bear a doleful story of the com
plaints of ion fide, settlers on what
were supposed to be State or public
lands in Beaton county, who God that
some greedy Swamp Land operator baa
laid claim to .the land they supposed
secured for homesteads. . The opera
tion of this law .(if it ever comes iota
practical operation , as it was passed,
which jest Heaven , forbid,) is sura to
make great and untold trouble, and
bring the framers of it to inevitable
disgrace., If it had contained provis
ions for the full security of actual set-
tier8 an(j na( been allowed ninety days
to run oeioro coming ibvo operanuu, 41
would still .have been, an qutrage on
common sense and common honesty,
but the facta, are, that interested men
Watche(j ,n the iobby nd controlled
legislation, having their confederates
oD tbe floor of both Houses.
It may be claimed that many Toted
for it in the hurry oi business that
crowded the latter part of the session
without a full appreciation of its pro
visions. ; This may. be so, and some
whom so voted may be. free from ac
tual intention of fraud, but they did
'not manifest their ability as legislators
by failing to use .their judgment.
"There were men controlling that mat
ter within tbe Houses, who were inter
ested with those on the outside, and it
is a lair supposition, that the chief
managers had the State apportioned
I among themselves and divided the
"spoil by agreement, for we see ibis out
rageous legislation passed and put into
immediate effect before tbe people
I could understand 'n nature. And tbe
most disgraceful sight was that of these
very Swamp Land legislators and their
I instruments hurrying to the uttermost
: parts of the State, far and near, to U
claim, to whatever lands were to be
gobbled up under their own iufamous
, legislation. , If that conduct was less
tbac infamous we are nueble to com
prebend it. ,
Tbe Judgeship.
We have to record the failure of Mr
Bonbam to make any headway this
term of Court in prosecuting his claims
to the Judgeship, all because of tbe
) quirks of the law. Tbe attorneys fo
Judge Boise, Me3ra. Williams and Wil
lis, demurred to the complaint. Now
a demurrer raises a question of law
and not an issue ef fact, and tbe Code
expressly says that "motion for change
of plaee of trial cannot be made or al
lowed in any action until after the
cause is at Issne on a question of fact
only; and tbe Code elsewhere says tha
.Judicial otticer shall not act in any
case wherein be ia a party, and- makes
no provisions for the granting a change
of place of trial in such a ease. So
when, after the demurrer was raised
the Defendants attorneys, Butler and
Reed made a motion for change of place
of trial. Jui'ge Boise was forced
overrule the motion because it eould
not be entettained unless a question of
fact waa raised, which was not the
case, and this is not one of the eases
in wbich a Judge should be a party in
which tbe law provides for a change of
venue. Lawyers themselves get tan
gled op in tbe meshes of the law, occa
slonally. There is some satisfaction
in knowing that.

RorcH River Experience As th
steamer Albany went up the river on Sun
day, they heard at Hnrrfeburg of a mm
Who had reached there after being ship
wrecked in a skiff about twelve miles above,
by taking a wrong shoot end 'running un
der a drift.' He got on the drift and made
the main land, walked to Harrisburg an
mere tola et a companwnion who was
drowned by being taken under the drift
with the shipwrecked boat. As the boat
was on her ay down the next evening, at
the Devil's Gate, a rough river passage
above Ilarrisburg, the Albany was bailed
by an excited individual who stood on a
small patch vf island with tbe river rising
around bim. He was rescued, and it came
out when he was revived by hot coffee and
good grub, that he was the individual (op
posed! to have been drowned, who got out
on the islands instead of tke main land
and had been for two davs coins from
Hud 'to island in a perishing condition
and was fortunately at the main river in
time to hail tbe boat by motions. He was
well cared for' and we interviewed bim last
evening ou board, as the boat pay at the
mill. His name ia George B. Finney and
he had coma from Canyonville to Eugene
and Boding the sloughs and creeks up so
that Le could not continue his journey on
foot, he and another a stranger whose
name he never knew planned to come
down stream on a raft and finally made a
raise of a skiff in wbich tbey met the mis
bap we have described. He is bound for

We are Inclined to think Congress
will now remain In Session until the
arrival of the Commissioners sent ont
in the Steamship Tennessee to examine
matters at the Island of San Domingo
and report In general terms as' to the
feeling of the people and tbe govern
ment tbere and also report their own
views on the matter of annexation.
Our readers most recollect that on the

governments, that of Dominica, of
-
which Bart is' President, who is in fa- r
Tor nf annexation, and that Of Hsrytl'
wbicb occupies the West Ead of the
Island. The Commission was to report
tbe state ol ferli ig in each section, and
it teems that tbe people of Hsjtl are
not favorable to any scheme of the
sort. ' HowtTrr this whole question
will appear in other shape Id a few
days, when the Commission returns,
and the character of the mea who com
pose it gives us reason to expect that
their report will contain the truth of
tbe matter, and enable' every man to

Canoe Trarel on the Wlllamtttr.
Habbisbdbo, Ogo, March 18, 1871, ,
Eo. Statsssui: Veaterday about I
o'clock P. U. two men living about .
five miles above tbis city, heard some:,
person, hollowing on an Island in the
river, opposite their residence, seem-
nly ia deep distress, .Taking a skiff
they proceeded to tbe island, . where
tbey fouud a man nearly drowned, and
suffering intensely with cold, .being
unable to walk, tbey carried bim to
their skiff, and cenveyed bim to tbelr
house'. After being somewhat revived,
be gave the following particulars rela
tive to his situation :'
He gave his name as Franklin Bat-
ford, says -be left Eageoe City,, that
morning about 7 'O'clock, ia company,
with another dad, in a, small eanoe,''
for Albany." .The other man was the
owner of the 'eanoe, and had come
down tbe river to Eugene City on his
way to Albany. ' ' " J
Mr. Basford being anxious to go be
low, and baring a heavy carpet-tack
to carry, concluded to take his chances
in tbe canoe with bim, although the
river was very high at tbe time. They
proceeded on their journey without
accident nr. til they arrived at the place
above mentioned, when he current
drew them broadside agaiDSt a drift
and capsized their canoe. Our in
formant says, that 'as he arose out of
tbe water, he csught hold of the caooe
and beld to it for something like a
quarter or a balf a mile, during wbich
time his comrade's bat came floating by
him. . After floating down, as above
stated, the carreot again drew both
bim and tbe canoe under another drift.
As be passed under the drift he threw
up bis arms and canght hold of a log,
but tbo current was too strong, and
be was farced to let go his hold and
be whs carried nnder the drift. Pas
sing down some distance under the
drift where tbe force ol tbe current
eras broken by the logt he was enabled
to climb up through the drift to the top.
From there be made bis way to tbe
island where he was found as before
Stated. ' ' " ' ." "
He never saw bis comrade after their
Aaoe capsixed at the first drift. But
at be was ia the stern of the canoe, be,
Bacford, is certain that b must bave
Veen carried by tbe current directly
under the drift and drowned. "
He told our informant that be waa
formerly from Canyon Ciy, and was
at tbe time 00 his way, to Takima val
