Be'saouesraiiy? p&mprifasgffiii this con
hectldrfwlth resped to' Uila tearfulness
of Democracy towards tlie Nationnl
Iabor cause. Jinkre Davis as a Dem
ocrat may be-graf ifled at sach a proof
that, the -professed representatives of
the Labor cause liave confidence iu

Labor cause, ami what does' it repre
sent? There Is an outside element,
too clamorous and ultra to work in
common wRh drearest of human na
ture, cfcpoh s eter holding conventions
for some ' purpose or other, clamorous
lot rights'" and'partfailnr In urging
preforms.' If these men remained
Inside of the popular political organi
zaflous ami .would work to combine the
labor element, which predominates in
each, rrmcb igood might be effected.
In both tlie Republican and Democrat
ic parties the laboring men are in ma
jority, arid $bey have a common Inter
est which could be protected if tliey
would act nnitoilly. The truth Is ilutt
Capital and labor are mutually depend
ent ant all that laboring men can ak
la such a price as the world is able to
pay and capital can afford. It is in
dispensable that labor shall be well
paid and unless the laborer receives a
comfortable competency times become
bard and capital cannot be safely in
vested. When the laboring man suf
fers the capitalist repines.
Again, if labor receives too high a
remuneration the only result is that
prices ot necessaries advance to corres
pond. ' The best times, and those when
national prosperity is indicated, are
when comfort prevails in the homes of
the people. The cause of labor is the
plainest and simplest of all interests.
The laboring men have the power if
they will learn how to use it, and each i
political party must accord lull rights
to labor or go down.
The National Labor Convention'
may have its preference for President,
but .the -laborers themselves belong to
one or the other jKlitlcaI party and
have'sirong attachment4 to' principles
whidh'the mere question of labor can
not decide. It Democracy supports ,
Judge Davis it cannot expect to win '
to his support any large body of Re
publicans. . Drowning 'Democracy
catches at straws and it may swamp
the National Labor wiu-, but cannot
be saved by-tying its tinholy fortunes

The Congressional Globe of January,

tiveprctensc In .pursuance of the act
ofXngsB Rpprdved March 12. I860,"
tlie Legislature of .tlie fetate oi Oregon,
at its last session, passed- a act pro
yiding Aff the seleetioo and sale of tlie
swamp and overflowed lands ' belong
ing to the State of Oregon ; and tiiat
under the provisions of the said act of
the igwlaUire, land speculators, mem
bers of the Legislature and their con-,
frerwr made mt j.rlor to the passage
of sawaetnuiig. to oover neanip jiu
the lands claimed to be tf the charac
ter . denominated -swamp and over

nopoly to the great injury ot land and:
laboring citizens : and further, by tlie!
acts xt the comnilssloners appointed
to make the selections of swamp and
overflowed lands, preemptora- and
homestead settlers are being deprived:
ot tlieir just rights, in direct violation ,
of the spirit "of the said act of Con

claimed are made valuable only on ac
count of tlie overflow, thereby pro-'
ducing the finest pf hay lands, with
out which, large 'districts of .country
tvould be Tendered wholly unfit for

Therefore, believing' that that giant
of Congress has lapsed, and the sub

"was read twice by its title, referred to

He also a-ked,. and by unanimous

bill (S. No. 511) to amend an act en
titled "An act to provide for tlie pay

brated from one sensational sclicme to
another for ten years past witliout
much success, and lie seems at last to
have "struck it rich," for the Mor

for services rendered. On the whole,
the alliance is rather a natural event.
The Mountain and the Mouse..
The DemotTatic inonutain has been
in labor and tlie mid wives of the In
vestigating Commission liave made
proclamation to tlie world and lo ! the
mountain has brought forth a mouse.
How much money it cost the State
to produce tills Inntling of a report to
the Democratic world we cannot say,
but it is safe to say that tlie people
liave at least $5,000 in good coin in
vested In tills rather unprofitable en
terprise and of course they will Insist
upon knowing what they have received
as an equivalent. So we , proceed to
discluirge our duty in tliat respect and
inform , tlietn. Of course the work
which employed the Inquisitors and
their able secretary for considerably
over ft year canuat. be reviewed lit an
hour, but we can touch on some of the
most brilliant bits of dullness and give
our friends an Idea of tlie game, re
serving minute . details of inspection
and criticism for use in the interval
between now and., the approaching
election, as spice for the campaign.
As to the delinquencies of the late
Secretary, tlie people know that It did
not require the action of any Commis
sion to ascertain what they were, for
the records tliat transmitted his ac
counts to his successor were evidence
of how well he had disoliarged his du
ties or tliat he had been delinquent,
The youthful collegian who worked op
the case, charges as a crime, that lie
issued warrants, when no appropria
tion existed to authorize them. Well!
so did his successor, Secretary Chad
wick, until the decision of Judge Boise
ruled to the contrarr. It looks very
contemptible that tlie commissioners
should feel obliged to pettifog tlie only
part of the case against the late State
officers that liad any cause for action
in it, but this single fact illustrates tliat
they carried on tlie business in a very
small way.
In regard to tlie State Treausrer a
great deal of indignation Is wasted be
cause be kept a portion of tlie State
funds on deposit at Portland banks.
This he did at the suggestion and by
tlie advice of his bondsmen and to re
lieve his own appreheusions, and tlie
money was not " loaned " the banks
at all, but was placed there on deposit
by the treasurers ot Northern counties,
to the credit of the State. Trying to
make of this that the Treasurer loaned
the State money to these banks is an
other specimen of pettifogging In keep
ing with the object and interest of the
commission. ... -i -
It seems that the State Treasurer
went East and paid cash out for the
State in New York and tlie Secretary
Issued warrants to him for the amount,
at their face, and the commission sus
pect hat he paid out currency and got
back coin after many days, and if be
did, which is not proved, he received
no interest on his money, no difference
of exchange and no credit for facilitat
ing the State business by advancing
his own money for its use, at a distant
point. This heavy cliarge against that
officer is alont of a muchness with the
other that he gave the P. T. Co. office
rent free, the fact being that tlie Secre
tary of tliat company was his deputy
and kept his company books there for
convenience. tj -V
The case agaiust Major Berry, is
based on many ' loose-jointed proposi
tions and in specialty on the affidavit
of some man who was guard tliere
under him, ; but managed to keep in
with his successor by swearing as a
fact that tlie Warden occasionally car
ried off small Items of groceries hidden
under his coat-tail. . Tliat certainly
was a stunner, and it is tlie biggest
count in the indictment, and only for
that particular swear, and one other to
be referred to, we might think the mid
wifery ol Ben Birch and Frank Bon.
ham and "Cue-Bill" Amis bad all
been a-miss. - : '
The Other particular swear Is the
one by Michael Waltlier, the janitor of
the State offices in the past adminis
tration, who slated' tliat Gov. W oods
used the Stale kerosene. Now If Geo,
L. Woods drew rations of coal oil we
have no disposition to excuse it,
though we incline to w ish some such
illuminator had been placed at the dis
posal of the trio of male grandmothers
who composed the hLstoric inqusitlons,
but we realize, in reading the report,
that tlie commissioners were principal
ly enlightened by gas. , Very unfortu
nately for our confidence in the state
ment of Waltlier, we remember that
he never liked Woods, and was prin
cipally prejudiced against him because
he forgot to remunerate him lor fan
cied services rendered. Also, we rec
ollect that at tlie time this inquest was
licld Waltlier divided his time lietween
the office of the commisioii and
neighboring brewery, and how much
lager It required to get at this kerosene
story yet remains to te proven. .
. Michael who. was always called
" George " for short also says he kept
a room warm and comfortable for Mr".
Griswold and another, and tliat Gris-
wold only gave him an old coat for bis
pnlns. Now Grlwoldisa Democrat
and appreciates comfort well enough
to pay for it, and he says he paid Ml-
chael, alias George, twenty dollars In
coin. So we invite the commission to
swear this brother Democrat to find
out how reliable the janitor's word is.
Now, we have to say that there are
facts leaking out in relation to the
management of the Penitentlaay and
the building ot the new one, tliat form
an offset to this report and when prop
erly developed will show the people of
Oregon how much they have gained by
tlie change. The subject Is a vat and
prolific one and will last us some time

After a ; Meai We are Informed
tliat a man named Fiuley Jack, and a
small boy, a fewveuings ago' while
on their way home from a protracted
meeting a few miles from Silverton,
near Butte creek, were followed by a
cougar, which they at first mistook for
a dog. ' While passing through a lane,
the animal made its appearance by
jumping over the fence and following
after. .Jack, thinking that It was a
dog, thought but little about it until it
approached to within a few feet, when
he discovered hi3 mistake. He sum
moned up all his courage, and having
heard it related that a cougar would
flee at the sound of the human voice,
lie stopped, wbeu tlie animal immedi
ately assumed a crouching attitude, as
if for springing. There was no show
but to thee the music, which lie did,
and bravely, too, by walking back and
applying the toe of his boot to the
Deast s unaer law, at tne same
time
tittering a lond yell
This bad the ef
fect to intimidate tlie beast and cause
it to disappear In the darkness. They
went home', and in the morning pro
cured some dogs and started in 'pur
suit. The dogs scented the animal to
hi hfdihg place, -Touted him out, but
could not induce him to ciimb a tree.
rtler several liours the cJuwc vu
abandoned.
Medical Association. The Medi
cal Society of the Third Judicial Dis
trict commenced In this city on Mon
day last at 10 o'clock A. M. The
meeting was well attended considering
the inclemency of the weather, tliere
being about twenty-five physicians in
attendance, representing the counties
of Marion, Polk and Linn. The re
tiring President, Dr. Belt, delivered
an able and interesting address, re
viewing the hardships aud difficulties
under , which the early physicians of
Oregon had labored, and strongly
urged harmony and concert of action
among the. physicians of tlie present
day. The following officers were
elected for the ensuing year: Presi
dents, Dr-HUl, of Albauy ; Vice Pres
ident. DrS. Giesy and Davis, of Marion
county, Recording Secretary, Dr. Jes-;
sup; Correspond uig secretary, Dr.
Carpenter. The meeting was.in every
way harmonious, ana it is to oe noped
that medical sciance may be advanced

Engnieers at Work. A corps ot

Tlie work will be continued to-day.

A Tragic Reminiscence.
In our Covington news dettartmt-nt
will be found a notice til the death of
Mr. A. K. tiauies. a prominent cilizt-u
of Boone county, Kentucky, from lock-
law. Mr. (jaines is entitled to celebri
ty as the owner of the Gamer (.laves,
whose llight from slavery and recaii-
ture at Cincinnati, resulted In the aw
ful tragedv, in which Margaret Garner
slew her children to save tliein from
the fate of slavery. Even iu the cal
loused state of tlie public conscience of
tliat time, this illustration ol" slavery as
it appeared to a desperate mother,
sent a thrill of horror throughout the
north ; and with the lapse of time the
real feature of the tragic act liave In
come more deeply impressed iqion the
public mind. In those days a code
which et onle all the Ralegiiards
which tlie ecnttiirea of growth of Anglo-
Saxon law hud created for tlie pn-
tection nt personal liliertv. and which
treated tlie rights of tlie states and of
their .citizens with contempt, was iu
force, ami obsequious United Stales
Commissioners, servile l)cmocratic at
torneys, truckling and truculent Uni
ted States Marshals, and great posses
of rouffhs, wlio tliemsclves made riots
iu order to draw fees, were brought in
to requisition to return fugitive men
and women wliose despair resulted in
such tragedies, llus was t lie much
Democratic lamented time of the 'Con
stitution as it was." The Democratic
party is welcome to its memories.
An Ingenious Invention. There is
a clock ou exhibition at the Maryland
Institute Fair which isa novelty equal,
it not superior, iu its intricacies, to the
great clock at Strasbourg. It strikes
the quarter hours, on four balls of dif
ferent tones. It strikes an alarm to
awaken the master of tlie house.
Lights a lamp and kindles a fire in the
stove. A carriage Is seen coming
a road. - It stops before the inventor's
place of business, and tlie occupant of
the vehicle gets a clock which lias lieeu
left there for repairs. A bell is sound
ed in tlie chamber of a servant, who
awakes apparently astonished at being
roused Irom a sound sleep. She looks
around for a few minutes, and, being
a modest girl draws tin curtains so as
to arrange her toilet. Tlie carriage is
again upon the road. Near a rocky
eminence, a robber springs from a
Sive and attempts to stop tlie horses.
A desperate fight ensues. A farmer
near the roadside, not seeing tlie rol
ber, tries to lielp the coachman urge
tlie horses along. A hunter in the dis
tance, discovers the robber, flre,s his
rifle, wounds tlie highwayman, who
fills back into tlie cave. Tlie carriage
drives ou with its occupant. All this
work is performed through the extra
ordinary manipulations of the clock.
This Is certainly one of the most nota
ble features of mechanism on exhibi
tion, and is well worthy the attention
of tlie visitor. ... - .
WnENCETiTE Name "Pennsylva
nia." The origin of the name of the
State of Pennsylvania will be found in
a letter of William- Penn, its founder,
dated January 6, 1681, from which tlie
following is an extract : .'
This day, after many ; watching,
waitings, solid tings, and disputes in
council, my country has been confirmed
to me under the great seal or England,
with large powers and privileges, by
the name ot Pennsylvania a name the
king would give it In honor of my
fatlier. I cliose New Wales, being a
hillv country ; and wlien tlie Secretary,
a Welshman, refned to cull it New
Wales, I prooed Sylvauia, and tliey
added Fcun to it, though I was much
oposed to iU and went lo the king to
have it struck out. He said it was
past, and lie would not take it niion
him ; for I feared it might lie looked
upon as a vanity In me, and uot as a

To be Dismantled. The Russian
Government has, after a long hesita
tion, decided finally to dismantle the
fortress of Rings on account of Its
strategically unfavorable situation, and
to con vert It Into an open town. Tlie
fortifications have long becu out of re
pair. Tlie works were legun iu 1650
and completed in 170V standing
several sieges while iu progress. The
Russians first besieged the city in
1650 ; tlie Saxon and Polish armies
tested the strength of the walls next in
1700, and the Russians followed a
second and third tune in 1705 and
1708. Tlie citadel capitulated on the
4th of July, 1710. Dnring the past
twenty or thirty years tlie place lias
been nominally a fortress. Some of
tlie walls were removed in 1752, and
now the city lias, by au agreement
with the Government, undertaken to
complete the dismantlement in five
years.
An excliatige remarks : 'Some peo

Tlie facts are, that the interest, the

its selected matter, and few men are
fully capable of the position who would

of the nrticles they select. A sensible
editor desires considerable selected

Ing in regard to Edward G Condon, who died
In that city February 29th, at the age of
eighteen: -i " '':"'
The deceased was a son of Rev. Thomas
Condon, pastor of the Congregational Church,,
of this city. Asa student diligent and fore
most, and his standing at the Pacific Univer
sity, of whK h he was a member, Is a matter
of prklo to his family and friends. As a
friend, trne and loyal, hi worth la assured
by the tender memories now deeply cherished,
by all who knew hinu Bis place at home, at
College, in the Sabbath school and la the so
cial circle, can bow be appreciated, but who
can determine what the future would have
brought us from the benefits and bieadngs he
had already scattered about his life. '
With talents, energy, clear perception ami
Judgment, and above all, a clearer sense of
duty in its higher obligations, what might we
not have reallxed in his life If spared. ,' lie
was just npon the limit of coming manhood,
and few eeuM look oat npon its field of boie
and promise with equal certainly ef success.
Thoroughly instructed In the elements of
science, he was five developing a strong love
for that branch In which his lather has a
well led the way, and we safely assert that
be would have solved many of Its most hidden,
mvsterlen. ! .
Ills genial, loving disposition brought with
him a charm into every circle, and his readi
ness In every proper eflort now reminds us,
when too late, of what we have lost. Per
haps few sons have left such a record of kind
ness, obedience and affection la all the rela
tion of life Ami, summing np these devel
opments of character, may we not trathfuUy
say be was "ever equal to duty and not
above it." Ills death was sudden and unex
pected. It ajipeara that he had been sick for
the past four or Are weeks, with pneumonia,
and that be was improving so much that his
physician had ceased prescribing for him for
several days. At the nine of hi death he
was sttttng on a lounge, and had requested
his sisters to hasten the dinner, as be was
hungry. In a few minutes after he said he
was very sick, and laid down npon the lounge
and almost immediately expired. The be
reaved parents have the sympathy of our en
tire community, in tbclr great loss, awl all
tliat can soften the bitter sorrow that the An
gel of Death has brought to their home, in
sympathy, kind expression ant deed, will be

How to Transplant Evergreens.
The Callstoga Tribune says : In se- '
lcctlng evergreens for transplanting do
not take tliein from a dense grove.
Select your trees one- year lie fore trans
planting, dig under tliem, and cut the
tap root off. When ready to trans
plant, take tlie trees up carefully and
set. The philosophy of this process Is
tliis : Tlie tree has lwwetofbre received
its nutriment from tlie tap root. By
cutting tlds oft tlie flow of sap Is en
tirely changed into tlie side roots, thus
insuring tlie life of the tree, which,
were Us transplanted without Witting
off the root, would be by uo means
certain.

From the Em :f
Work on Second street has been pr.igrcas-
Ing finely since tho waters subsided, the
gravel train avetaging from ten to flOeen
trip daily. The nompletton of this work at
an early day will be glaslly balled by our cit
izens, a H will afford convenience In passing
to and fro from the" depot, whereas those now
ha ring business In that quarter, and residing
la this aetghborhoosi, bav to take round
about way. i
Several parties are discussing the propriety
of bui kllng a. w haif and warehouse on tld
sfcte of the river, and we believe It will end
in something more ubstaotia.l than mere talk.
There Is no doubt that an Investment this
way would pay largely, and be a great pub
lic benefit. As the matter now taoda, there
U nothing of the kind la Kast Portland, ex
cept what is owned by the Railroad Company,
and these are not large enough to supply the
demand. It Is to be hoped the movement
will be gotten waxier way at aa early day.
