FRIDAY Nov. 16, 1877
The Fraudulent Terminus.
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."
