m ffte sils Qslsvinu. ASTORIA. OREGON: t. C. IRELAND. SUNDAY .Ertilor. ..FEUHUAHY 2, LS7.9 Circuit Court Adjourned. At half past ten o'clock, night before last, the January term of the Circuit court lor Clatsop coun ty adjourned sine die, and Judge BellingeF, -Hon. J. F. Caples, the able district attorney, and members of the Portland bar in attendance, returned to their homes yesterday. Judge Bellinger has a pleasant faculty of expediting business, and it will be a source oc satisfaction 'to the people to know that the Judge was in advance of the at torneys in most cases, and that every cause which could be heard -was heard at this four days' session. The 25th of March has been fixed as a time for hearing other causes of importance which wr-re not fully made up. We 'have long been intimately acquainted with Judge Bellinger, and we feel a personal satisfaction in seeing him in the position which he is now filling with such general acceptability, to all persons with whom he has official contact. On taking the bench Judge Bellinger was compelled to face a very un pleasant duty a work which has no precedent, possibly in tire whole history of the civilized world. Criminals of all grades were brought before him, and although in office but a very few weeks, he has been compelled to impose the penalty of death upon four or five murderers, and sentenced as many more to the penitentiary on terms extending over the period of life time in some instances and for a term of years in others. Yet, with . the conctousness of doing his whole duty faithfully, he has not per mitted himself to waver in the least from what must b.e considered the plainest acts of justice. When the fact becomes gener ally understood among the mur cererous and thieving classes which infest the Pacific slotpe that ?e have in Oregon Judges like Mr. Bellinger, and a State Peni tentiary conducted upon the basis upon which Mr. Bush is conduct ing the Oregon penitentiary, it is a very reasonable, supposition, to suppose that all classes of semi-barbarians will give our state a wide berth. In these matters we are particularly well pleased. The Back-Pension Bill. The back-pension bill Avill cost the treasury from 20,000,000 to $50,000,000. Some of the esti- mates are as high as $100,000,000. We think the latter estimate not far from the mark, and for these reasens: In 18GG, the year after the conclusion of the "war, the whole number of pensioners on the rolls was 126,72-2, -and the whole amount paid was 15,005,54.9. From that year the .yearly rolls and payments footed up as follows, to and in cluding the year 1877: Year. Pensioners. Payments. 17 153,184 !0,!G,55l li& 1J9,G1.J 2;,7Si,3S'j ltDU 187,5.113 2S.47fi.Kil H70 lDS.CSl? 2S,yi0,4202 1S71 207.4!). 3M,8!4 1S72 .. 22, 2s,ri;,402 187H 2SS.411 2 ,:. ,4"G ts4 -:J,24i 2s,o;a.4i4 lt73 234,821 2i),45U,2lG 1K7G 2ft!J87 28f237,S33 lb77 .,.. 232,101 27,JG3,7o2 These figures tire taken from a speech by Smith o Pennsylvania in the house of representatives on the 10 th of last April, and were copied y Smith from the records o&the pension bureau. Ther show 'that the maximum of pensions was not enrolled till 1S73, twelve years after the war, and that the number -.thad increased 85,227 in those MrtMW Jittjgj MiMilia 1 years. From 1873 to 1877 the j list ran down from 238,411 to 232,- 104. And 78,920 more were on the rolls in 187"? than in 18G6. Un der this bill (which is just) at least this many (78,920) will be entitled to back pensions from the present time to the date of the close of the war; or, rather, to the date of the expiration of their term of enlist ment. It is tolerably clear from these premises that it will require very nearly, if not quite, 100,000, 000 to foot the whole bill for back pensions. The average number entitled to the benefits of the measure for the entire time from 18GG to 1S78, inclusive, is not much below 70J000, atad the average amount drawn by the 232,104 pen sioners in 1877 was a little over 8120. That would give 8,400, 000 a year, which for twelve years amounts to S100,SOO,OUO. It will not be possible for the government to pay this amount in one, two, or three years; nor is it likely to be called for in so short a time. But if the bill becomes a law, it is easy to see that it will compel congress to devise new taxes for an increase of the reve nue to meet the necessary increase of expenditures on this account. And the present session of con gress will have to shoulder that responsibility or the greater one of leaving a large deficiency to be met by the next congress. To pass this bill without providing for the payment of the just demands in curred under it would be an act in the nature of repudiation, and a flat insult to a class whom the bill acknowledges to be among the na- 'tion's most honest and deserving creditors. Foolish. Women. Portland Daily Le-c. The conduct of some "women who annoy the jailor and officials at the county jail is both silly and ridiculous, and excites general contempt. Every day several sensation loving matrons appear and crave admittance "just for a moment" to converse and sympa thise with, and snivel over the doomed wretches in the iron cage. Shortly before noon to-day a couple of women, whose appear ance would indicate better sense and more self-respect, entered the sheriffs office and" earnestly be sought a short interview with 'Brown and Johnson. They ad mitted they were no relatives and had no business to transact but merely desired to show their sym pathy for the "poor men who were so good looking." They said they would willingly take the places of the condemned and die for, if they would only save them. Each of theshallow-pated things carried a baby in her arms and hud a hus band trying to earn them an hon est living. When asked if-it would not be in better taste and more sensible to manifest a little sympa thy for Mrs. Joseph, whose son was coldly murdered, the darling and support of herdecliningyears, they replied, "Oh, no, she has not been sentenced to death." Such ex ceeding foljy would be ludicrous if it did not excite commiseration at such idiotic display of senti mentality. NSW ADVERTISEMENTS. SEAMING GLASSES, All sizes and shapes from 11 ate or 26 oz.
