Marion Conrt House.
By the terms ot the contract being
oiitered into at tlie present time the
new Court House U to be completed by
November, 1873. The plans adopted
are for a building adapted to the wants
of our county for a long time. To
construct a building of merely sufficient
capacity for present use would be
short-sighted policy ; not to build for a
year or so to come would cause a great
inconvenience and insecurity for the
transaction of the county business, and
would show a want of both pride of ap
jw.iraitee and of public spirit in a coun
ty which wishes to retain the State
Capital in its chief city.
While the new structure is. planned
on a fine architectural basis and will
certainly be a very handsome edifice,
it will only be, when completed, such
a building as we are entitled to, and
indeed ought to liave for present use,
to represent the wealth and prosperity
of one of the very foremost counties
in our State.
Great satisfaction is expressed in re
lation to the letting of the contract.
It is very proper that reasonable pref
erence sliould be given to our own citi
zens, and the price fixed, $39,650, is
In-low any otlier responsible bid that
was made. The contractors are Booth
by & Stapletou, sash, door and blind
manufacturer and finishers, on Front
street, D. A. Miller of the South Sa
lem lumber mills, and II. R. Myers, a
practical mason and builder. Tliere
is no question as to their capacity and
ability to do work in the most satisfac
tory manner. They have time enough
to complete it in, and tlie time given.
with good financiering on part of the
county officers will enable us to raise
the required means without burden
some taxation, a large amount of the
monoy being already in hand aa pro
ceeds of two years assessments.
Xo sliadow rests on the title ot the
ground on which the Court House will
Ik- built, as Judge Terry suggested last
spring that a suit to quiet title should
lie commenced and tlie matter was de
cided by a decree made in the last
June term of Circuit Court. By agree
ment this decree stipulated the time
within which the new Court House
sliould l)e built, the removal of the
iail building from the premises, and
tliat the grounds sliould lie fenced and
suitably ornamented by planting out
shade trees. These stipulations were
required by the city and there is not
chance for a doubt to raise in future
concerning the validity of the title.
A very few persons have objected to
commencing the construction of the
new Court House at the present time
The great majority urge its immediate
construction and certainly we cannot
complain of any want of general pro-
perity on the part of our citizens or
financial disabilities that should pre
vent it. When completed every citi
7n of our county will feel pride and
satisfaction in possessing such a public
building, and the citizens of Salem
who wilt be so immediately gainer.
will certainly not grudge whatever
share of It? cost may be assesset
against tlicmselves.
Honest Democracy.
Tlie State finances of California
lcar evidence ot tlie unswerving hon
esty and fidelity of this corruptiot
hating party whose name is Dcmocra
cy. A week or so ago Gov. Booth sent
a special message to the Legislature
now in session at Sacramento, showing
that an excw of debt esrrsts iti tlmt
State, over what the party in power
stated was tlie case during the last
campaign, of six hundred thousand
dollars. In otlier words they the I
Democratic State officers had expend
ed six hundred thousand dollars more
than tliey acknowledged beforehand.
The State Capitol Commissioners were
tlie State officers themselves, Governor,
Secretary and Treasurer, and they ex
pended over $400,000 more on the
State Capital building than they were
allowed to expend, by law, and tlie
fad has been proved that great frauds
were perpetrated In the party interest,
with tliat same money.
The State Normal school building,
also, foots up to cost more money than
was expected. It was to have cost less
than $90,000 and tlie bills already in
loot over $15,000, and $70,000 more
will be required to finish it. The
original estimates were $39,122 and
the real cost will bo at least $235,000.
Tliere is economy and good manage
ment for you ! It is not to be supposed,
of course, that corruption-hating Dem
ocrats did any stealing out of these
ruiiH so spent.
Tliere sample bricks from tho grant
edifice of Democracy- silow tlut tlie
Tammany swindlers are not tlie only
ones which that party are responsible
for. Let ns keep .1 good watch on our
own home transactions to see tluit we
are not treated In the same way. In
the meantime cannot tlie party organs
preach u another nice little sermon
about Republican corrnptlou ?

Rumors of War.
It Is fortunate tliat while the Eng
lish people have become quite excited
over the discussion of the Treaty of
Washington, and Parliament argues
the propriety of repudiating it. our na
tion seems nowise excited and our na
tional Legislature does not even seem
to consider it possible that the English
Government should seriously entertain
tlie idea of refusing to conform to the
treaty. It is quite a compliment to
the American members of the Joint
High Commission which negotiated
the treaty that English statesmen con-
less mac tlie ability was all on our
side. We don't blame them for being
a trifle indignaut if thev think them
selves outwitted, but in truth we be-
lieve tliat the treaty was negotiated on
a fair basis and that the English hiem-
bersofthe Commission were entirely
aware of its concessions and framed
the treaty in the spirit of justice and
with a view to fair and amicable set
tlement of all exissing causes for diffi
culty.
We already receive intimations that
the English people and Government
are getting over their panic, and that
tlie treaty will not be abandoned or
repudiated. The second sober thought
would convince the statesmen of both
nations that to which ever side the de
cision of the arbitrators may incline it
is not sate to decline that wav of set
tlement and accept instead a possibility
of war. It seems the English liojied
to satisfy direct claims for damages by
the payment of not over 0,000.(HH).
an immense sum in itself, but they
find the American claims foot up much
more, and that we demand indirect as
well as direct damages, and there is no
doubt that Indirectly our commerce
suffered much more than' the tooting up
of actual losses.
It is very likely tlmt the English
panic is greatly caused by the schemes
of the political opposition in I'ailia
nient and in the interest of stock job-
iers on 'change. If such influences
produced it they will soon wear away
and statesmansnip will succeed to mere
popular excitement.
It U well enough to look into the re
suits that will follow war and see i
cither nation cin afford to w:ige it. It
is probable that no greater calamity
could befall the world at present than
a war between the United States and
Great Britain. The near relationship
of the nations ami the rink they take
in progressive civilization forbid that
they should forget the arts of peace to
devastate each other. England has
jierhaps the most to lose, as at the pres
ent time her commerce is more success
ful than ours. Our privateers would
weep that commerce from the seas,
but meanwhile our weak navy would
leave us no show to cope with Eng
land's navy on the setts at first, and
hundreds of millions would need to be
expended ineonstrueting such a navy
as would be requisite. We could not
keep up our foreign commerce in such
a war and whilst some of our indus
tries would thrive and some classes and
localities reap benefits of a certain
kind the greater portion of the country
would suffer Immense loss. War wil h
England would foster home manufac
tures by preventing imports, but our
cotton and our corn would find no out
let and would accumulate on our hands
at small value. Esjiecially would war
work hardship upon us here in Oregon
as it would stop public improvements
and cut us off from any source of sup
plies, except such goods as could be
hauled overland from the Central Pa
cific railroad. Our grain could not lie
shipped and all our national interests
would be almost mined, for English
cruisers would sweep our coast com
merce from the ocean.
The effect of war upon finance would
be very disastrous and the day when
specie payment could be resumed
would be long deferred. The great
source ol our national revenue duties
on imported goods would be cut off,
and the American Government would
have to subsist on internal revenue and
direct taxation. Xo doubt we might
gobble up Canada at the expense of
live hundred millions of dollars, if we
didn't all freeze to death in conquering
it. But we can do nicely without
Canada or the British possessions on
this coast, which will fall to our lot tit
no distant day, while to run in debt
another thousand millions of dollars
would not be popular or comfortable
So if England can afford to go to
war, we cannot; and if we can, surely
England cannot. We need peace very
materially for the next twenty years,
and ever after if possible and conven
ient. Of course we insist on it that
our Government shall stand on tlie
Treaty of Washington, e.sieciaHy if it
is to our advantage, and we want the
administration to maintain the national
dignity too, but avoid war if possible.
England would be in a very ridiculous
attitude to repudiate that treaty, near
ly as ridiculous as that of the Demo
cratic party which has continually as
serted thai, England got the best of us
in it. By the by, how does Democ
racy feel now to find o:it that all Eng
land is nearly frantic at finding how
much our nation got the lx-st of the
bargain ?
Work of Present ( undress.
It is not often that nny session of
Congress has more hard work cut out
tor it than is the ease with the present
one at the present session. While the
natural growth of the country and
developement of the new Territories
and States rails for watchfulness and
constant legislation and the public
lands and public works are matter for
careful consideration, tlie chief work of
this session will be in relation to
National finances and we hear of
very little special legislation being
asked for In tlie interest of corpora
tions, for land grants or any other such
interests, for tlie day has gone past
when the nation will tolerate dona
tions of hind for such purposes and the
appropriations of tliat kind heretofore
made having produced the results that
were most urgently necessary.
The National revenue, under the
good management of the present ad
ministration, lias become in exe-ss of
our wauls and the great duty of Con
gressis to reduce the National expenses
within tlie lowest possible margine
and regulate taxation so as to supply
only what is absolutely needed and n
reasonable amount per annum of sur
plus to reduce the national debt grad
ually with a view to its ultimate ex
unction. To do this involvi-s a re-
vi---ion of the entire revenue svstem of
the nation. We reipure fifty millions
less jier annunithaii wc collect, and the
question for Congress to decide is how
t reduce taxation so as to lessen its
burden most satisfactorily to the peo
pie, for the uticounigement of indus
try and In tlie interest alike of com
merce and manufactures of producer
and consumer, so as to create no mo
nopoly but to benefit nil classes alike.
This requires a reduction of the cus
tom duties in great part, and the
Ways and Means Committee have no
light work of it to plan
out what:
these changes shall be. The reduc
tion of duties involves an intimate
knowledge of effects to lie produced on
commerce and manufacturers, and tlie
science of political economy is called
Into use at every step. Our present
tariff is for revenue with incidental
protection to home manufactures nnd
of course both manufacturers and im
porters are largely interested in the re
sult and anxious to see the new policy
shaped to suit their personal interests.
Different sections of our country, too.
have differing interests in some re
spects, and to harmonize all these and
decide upon what rate anil degree o!
taxation will he the least burden and
the greatest good to the greatest num
ber is no easy work.
In addition to this important work
the appropriations to carry on the
Government for the ensuing year re-
nnire "rear, eare and l.ilior. That, of
itself will occupy much time and in
volves an understanding by that Com
mittee of every branch of the Na
tional cx-xMiditure. The proposition
to create a National Telegraph System
to co-operate with the Postal Depart
ment, is one ot the important meas
ure which the monopolists will op
pose very bitterly, but which we ven
ture to lH-lieve will eventually Ik
adopted.
The Congressional Investigation
into cxistiii"- abuses in the Govern
ment are also important, and meet the
iKumlar expectation as a check upon
the corruption which cxistsand always
has existed in relation to public attairs.
The discoveries following the downfall
of Taninianv have induced investiga
tion, and it is to Ik- hoped the work
will go on in State and National affairs
alike until thorough reform is effected.
The Way They ! It.
It must lie confessed that the Salem
l.in? do nothing hv halves, even when
they run their King organs. Herein
Salem they lately wanted to establish
an organ and they went to work, pur
chased Upton's material tor S'2.1100
coin, and engaged a couple of printers
to make their newspaper. The other
(lav these young men made a purchase
of a new power press worth 1.I!0()
and the rinsr came down with iftKI
more to enable them to do it. As w
understand it, they actually give to
men they have confidence in -.'!. fini to
enable them to carry on a. newspaper,
and in addition to tins expomlitun
they furnish an editor for tins paper
"ratis. In addition to all this the M-r-
cur'j has the monopoly of the litigant
advertising, which is worth rl. "lt per
annum. So the people who read this
may jierceive wnaitne nt.iir.Mi.ij in
to contend against in publishing a
newspaper here.
The tacts we have stated we have
... - i; . i 1 .
reason to Uelleve are rename aim c
narrate them as they are told current
upon the street, not from any desire to
ditto-the business aflairs ot our neigh
bors unnecessarily before the public
but to let the Eepiiblican party realize
that some effort is requisite on its part
to enable their organ to siuressfully
compete against such odds. In she
present campaign we neei all possible
hell) and support, and we accordingly
ask every Republican to do something
to aid the circulation of the Statks
51 AN, especially as its publisher and
editor laliors under physical disabilities
that greatly increase his expenses as
thev reduce his capacity to meet the
aril nous duties of a very arduous po
sition.
If you am send a good stibsciilier to
this paper you prove yourself an ea rn

Leilcr from Coos County.
Nokth C.m;i tti.K, Feb. a, 1.S7-2.
Ed. Stattian : It is a. noteworthy
and very gratifying fact that tins
county, notwithstanding its isolated
position, has rapidly advanced in tem
poral prosperity, and soon tins barrier
will be effectually surmounted by the
early completion of the Coos llay
Wagon Koad. Our future prosperity
is assured from the fact of theallliienee
and extent of our leading resources,
lumber and coal, combined with the
linple facilities for their exportation.
The agricultural branch ot our in
dustry is measurably impaired by ibc
Swamp Land Act. -Many desirous of
locating farms are restrained therefrom
by the alleged questionable character
of our lands; the arable portion of
which is confined lo the river bottom
and is quite prolific. These lands are
subject to inundation only during the
months of winter and the inception ol
of spring; hence affording stilhcieiit
time to conduct the essential operations
of husbandry. Unite a large tract ot
land intersected by Beaver slough and
some minor tracts contiguous to the
fir benches arc properly distinguished
is swamp land because their reclama
tion Is necessary to their cultivation.
The arable land, comprising line
marshes and beautiful myrtle groves.
has for several years been enile!!iliod
and rendered valuable by the introduc
tion of homes, reared under the most
iirduous vicissitudes of pioneer lite.
The value of these lauds will doubtless
tiruulate the Swamp Land Kavens of
Douglas in their eilorts to procure
them, but we hope without avail, for
such a catastrophe would produce
much misery, and besides, nature has
omitted to give them the impress ot a
swampy iliaracter. Bribery anil cor
ruption are potent and sordid public
enemies. The may have induced the
passage, of this mercenary act and they
may iullueta-i; the agents of the State
in tlie segregation of our land, but they
can never expunge the impress or
eliaracter that tiod has given it.
The subject of a breakwater at the
mouth of the Coquille to improve its
precarious, limited and perilous navi
gation, is exciting much discussion ;
but many apprehend it to be too local
in character and effect to elicit Gov
ernmental assistance, without which
it will assuredly prove abortive. An
other enterprise perfectly feasible and
of paramount importance, is the con
st ruction of a canal through a narrow
neck of land known as the Isthmus,
which sepcrates the waters of Coos
fioni those of the Coquille. This en
terprise if successful will lie of more
vital consequence in the development
and utilization of the resources of the
entire county than any other scheme
capable of projection ; it will afford us
tree and full access to the superior
navigation of Coos Hay waters and
will induce tlie establishment in our
midst of a large and active business,
besides furnishing an important acqui
sition to Coos Bay commerce; events
which command our concurrent ap
proval. COQU1.I.E.

sometime: neat alxuit her lecture.
This we are not able to do. and should
we make the attempt we should only
have to report a senseless jargon of
words couftt-e'lly mixed and utt, r y
destitute of what is known as a com
mon sense idea. We wonder why
tins female she doesn't deny that
she is a female -ever attempts to lec
ture on politics when everybody know s
she can't. Well, she is a female (as
she says; and she can't help it. She
must iinse her clarion voice anil let it

suppose this accounts for her defect in
this simple branch of learning. Sister

if that prerogative should not chance
to lie established on an "educational

About Feuiu aky. There is an
ancient tradition that we may expect

a dim remembrance of some year
wlren there was a pleasant sjiell in this
month, but when was it? That time
begins to fade into a distance so dim
and vague that tradition is all that can
rescue, it from oblivion. It is a fashion
able theorv that forests produce rain,
and we had a right to expect that bav
in"' used nn lh; lorests in this valley
and burned up a great portion of the
timber in the mountains, rains would
pereeptiblv lessen, but present indica

ory. Oregon winters must be excep
tions to all general rules concerning
climate and we can otil v. solace our
selves with the reflection that as we

Mandamus Kefitsew. fudge I5on
Ikiih yesterday heard argument on the
suit of W. II. Watkiuds against A. B.
Cosiier, County Clerk, asking for man
damus to issue to coui(K'l the Clerk to
give up papers in case of Clarke vs.
Watkiuds so as to effect change Oi
venue to Linn count, without pay
ment of costs incurred by plaintiff,
caused hy such change of venue, as the
Court had ad judged. The motion lor
mandamus was refused. It is quite a
pity that the law should in any way
interfere with the whims of Mr. Oro
ver's pet, who evidently has got to
think himself superior to what little
law exists in this State.
