The Oregonian has taken up the cudgel in defense of the fraudulent Northern Pacific railroad terminus at Tacoma, and seems to take particular delight in battering the head of Seat tle, because the Dispatch, in defense of its home interests, saw fit to op pose an attempted fraud in the pro posed "renewal of the grant" to the Northern Pacific railroad company. "It so happens that the JXorth Pacific railroad terminates at Tacoma, not at Seattle," says 'the Oregonian, with the advice volunteered that "the mistake need not now be discussed." We are of the same opinion as the Dispatch, that "the mistake" should be discus sed, and we believe that the resolution recently introduced in the senate ask- ing for information and particulars . was proper, and right. The Oregonian may be relating a fact when it says that it "knows nothing about the grant it would conceal" but that paper presumes too much when it further represents that "every person who "possesses ordinary information knows "all the principal facts in relation to "the road, to what extent it has been "completed and how much land the "law has entitled the company to re ceive." The excuse for not making this investigation is explained by the Oregonian as follews: But the publication of these facts at the east, at a time when more appro- pnations are asked, will be very likely to cause the enemies of further aid to J all railways to exclaim, "See what an amount of land has been bestowed, and yet these railroad companies want morel" The publication of all the facts "at the east," or even in Oregon and Wash ington territory, would jerhaps have an effect to cause many who are not enemies ot the road, to exclaim that the attempt to rob Oregon of a termi nus should be subjected to ?. rigid in quiry, and we are perfectly willing that the matter shall be investigated, and if the returning board declare that Oregon shall have nothing more than a' 'station at Portland, then possibly people will quietly acquiesce, but at i all"event8 lay the whole truth before Congress and the people. Fires are reported from Chicago, St. Louis, and Evansviilc, Ind., on the 14th, destroying a vast amount of property. ' An accident happened to the "firemen at the Chicago fire by hich one was killed outright and four others were taken from the ruins so badly hurt that they will probobly die. The Inter Ocean's letter from Atlanta, Ga. , states that during Presi- " dent Hays recent visit to that city, the man who was most active in the : reception of the presidential party was O. H. Johnes, who, when his rebel commander had captured a square of eight Union men, hung them to one pole and rope. The leader of the Unionists, Adams, being so lung that his feet touched the ground, Jones got a spade, and with his own hands dug " the earth form beneath Adams until he choked. "' The Cheyenne Leader of the t-ith "says: "Douglass and some 400 of his " band of Utes, have left their agency on White ri er and came to that place "in search of food, which, for some rea- konj whilst supplied by the govern ment yet remains in the warehouse at H&wlins. They allege they are forced to this measure, as game is scarce and " their people are suffering for want of food. As yet they are peacefully en deavoring to have their grievances ad " justed, and have telegraphed to Wash ington to ascertain if their iiour may n6t be drawn at Rawlins."
