It May Be So. New York, Aug. 14. It is understood here that the Cleveland letter of accept ance, as prepared by Daniel Manning and Smith Weed, is now in the hands of Samuel J. Tilden, who is carefully run ning through the manuscript, very freely using the blue editorial pencil. Tilden mpy himself rewrite some of the para graphs. Cleveland, it is thought, could not be trusted with the writing of the letter, and he has pone away for a long enough time to give Tilden a chance to -have at least a fortnight of rumination over thifl imnortanfc dnnnmATif- Tf in probable that the letter will be out be fore tie oeptember election is over. .For a Neat Fitting Boot Or Shoe, go to P.

Ingersoll, of Peoria, Illi nois. With & FeT Kemaris Concerning 1IU Style and Statement. It Is the duty every Journal owes Its read ers to give its vlewsoa the issues of the day. A paper that deals with IiigersoU. is always restrained by the feeling that it Is dealing with hot irons. There always seems to be a middle giomid hera where the newspaper world have always congregated. There is so much that Kin be said,andsolittlo that dared be sa:d on "Ingei-solHsm." that most papers arc satisfied lo sav nothing. Port land ( Uromcle. That is so. The theme, however, is a most tempting one. Ingersoll is in the front rank of American orators. He has the faculty of weaving his thoughts into most graceful English. When Beecher visited Astoria last Fall, those who fol lowed his discourse to the close agreed as to his wonderful originality. Beecher is probably the most original thinker in the United States. Ingersoll is probably the most popular. The reason for this is ob vious. In the first place his language is fine, his imagination fertile, and his power of plagiarism unlimited. Then, too, his theme is a most taking one. He treats of tdpics that have engaged the at tention of men since .the creation. Ho pitche3 into religion and its teachings in a way that delights many and shocks those who are wedded to orthodox dogma and accepted creeds. To those who do not believe in what is usually called "revealed religion," his words nre peculiarly attractive. He says so much that so many think; ho utters the doubts and denials that are in so many hearts; ho brings up so much that savors of cruelty and injustice, tliat his words find affirmative echo in the minds of hundreds of thousands of readers and hearers all over the country. Wherever ho goes ho starts the great tide of thought and the waves of discussion begin to swell; upon them ride and rock the faiths that are disturbed by the com motion. When Beecher was in Oregon, everywhere ho went arose praise and dis praise. Now that Ingersoll is coming, the same thine is repeated. He lectures at Occidental Hall next Thursday even ing, and will, no doubt, have as lame an audience as when his equally ortho dox brother, ueecher, lectured here. We always liko discussion, provided personality (which is no part of argu ment) is left out. Any one can sneer and can names and mate faces, but that is not argument. It is what apes and parrots are taught to do and beyond which they cannot rise. Pure, clear rea roa is always a treat, whether the premise end in sophistry or abiding faith. Inger soll irgue3 with such admirable grace that he captures us and make us admire him, especially when the inclination ex ists to believe a good deal of what he says. His poetry, too, appeals to the im agination. Ingersoll is a born poet. Take some of his grand language and you will find that it scans as blank verse. His thoughts are clothed in poetic diction and his loftiest flights of beautiful imagery are not surpassed in the pages of literature. He is a perpetual delight to those who read his sayings, and his lack of originality and his failure to prove what ho says does not prevent ad miration and hearty interest. No one expects a brilliant poet, a fascinating word painter, a splendid orator like In gersoll to be mathematically correct. That is not what he is paid for. Put a man on the stage at Occidental hall with the brains of Gladstone and the learning of Bastian and none of us would care to hear him, but Ingersoll can get 750 for interesting us; for saying what he has borrowed from other men in such a way as to elicit the warmest commendation. A great deal of what ho says has been said over and over again and the thoughts that he utters have been proclaimed from the advance posts of civilization since the days when men were hurled to wild beasts or dragged apart for saying what they believed, just because it didn't hap pen to suit those who had the "bossing" of things in that day. Those days are happily gone by. A m?n now-a days can do his own think ing. Superstition and cruelty; ignor ance and malice; brutal force and crushing power, can no longer burn a man alive or tear out his heart, or kill the helpless children because the father refused to recant. But our-glorious lib erty of thought was won, not by Inger soll, but by a grand army of lofty men and women, who died in prison, on the scaffold, at the stake, for the privilege; it was won by sturdy martyrs to the rights of humanity who proclaimed the right of every man to think for him self. The world owes these dead he roes a debt for the privileges it now enjoys. From hand to hand down through the ages they passed the torch of freedom and religious toleration. We enjoy their victory, and triumph in the light that they made possible. Mr. In gersoll makes capital of their great deeds and deserves due credit for his ability in amassing a considerable fortune in the way that ho has adopted of making a living. The Oregonian had the ablest article that Wfl have rend for Rnmn t ittia rorrnrrl ing Ingersoll. But that journal attempt- ea wnat is menective to defend what Ingersoll attacks. A great deal that In gersoll says about religion is se: what isn't so disproves itself. The Christian religion is not on trial. Mr. Ingersoll, like all public men, challenges criticism and invites discussion. If anything is on trial it is Mr. Ingersoll. The popular verdict measured by dollars is in his favor. He makes money, fame and friends. Ho wins fortune and admira tion. He is a success. That is the sub stance of it. Virtue, and honor, and patriotism, and love of home, and the joys of liberty all these things existed before Mr. Ingersoll so eloquently began to extol them. They will probably con tinue to exist after the intellect that now inhabits Mr. Ingersoll's mortal framo shall have left for other habitation. No man is essential. No times wear out what is necessary to all time. If all lofty aspirations died with the death of him who brought them into being, then all that makes this life worth living for would long since have perished.

Dement, TIIE OREO OS AXD CALIFORNIA. Beitont Tfhy the Central Pacific Would Like to Lease that Road. "I noticed in this morning's Oregonian that the Central Pacific is reported to be negotiating for a lease of the Oregon and California." said a gentleman well informed in railroad matters to a re porter of this paper yesterday. "You may rest assured that sooner or later the Central Pacific will get control of the O. &C." "Why so?" asked the reporter. "Because, in the language of the street, 'they need it in their business,' and 'though it comes high they must have it.'" was the answer. It is an open se cret that the Central has tried more than once to lease the Oregon road, but up to this time there was no particular need for it. Since the opening of the Northern Pacific the Central has lest every pound of eastern freight for Portland, and 90 per cent, of the passenger traffic. Be sides that, the Central pays the North ern Pacific and O. R. A; N. $500,000 a year to kesp oat of San Franci'wo. Hero is a double loss. Is it reasonable to ex pect that the California road is going to stand this sort of thing if it can help it? Not much. Here is the situation in a nutsholl. "The Oregon and California has never paid anything to anybody, and the Ger man bondholders will be satisfied with any sort of guaranteed interest, however low. The road completed to the Califor nia lino will represent, say, $15,000,003. For the last few years it has paid fixed cbarges, operating expenses and about l per cont. dividend. The bondholders would certainly be willing to accept 3 per cent, as a rental. This would be $450,000 a year, 50,000 less than the Central is now paying the Northern. Of course the Central will have to expend two to two and a half millions to complete the ex tension from the new town of Delta to the California line. "LocpI business on the O. & C. will naturally grow larger, and the line when completed will get a good share of through travel between Portland and San Francisco, particularly tourist travel, though the railroad cannot compote with the steamers in freight traffic Neither can the railroad carrv steerage passen gers 700 miles, irive them meals and sleeping accommodations for $10, and make much money on the transaction. While the Central may not want the O. & C. per se as a business investment, they will secure it if possible, in order to bo inde pendent of the Northern. If thev se cure control, they will not only refuse to pay the half million a year they are now Saying, but will demand a share of the Oregon trade. They would bo in a3 good a position to secure the trade of Portland as the Northern is, and in a better posi tion for the Willamette valley, and they could make their demands felt. There might be a lively war for a few months, and then an ;Oregon pool" would be formed, in which the Northern, the Union and the Central would participate. "You can say in the Oregonian that a through lino to California is one railroad that Oregon does not need. The state is not old enough nor rich enough to sup port mo western ends of the .Northern Pacific and Union Pacific, and it cannot easily contribute more to the Central. If the Central should get control they will divert every dollar of Oregon's trade they can to San Francisco, just as they have diverted to San Francisco trade from Arizona and New Mexico which geo graphically belongs to New Orleans. We dont want the Central to corao to Ore gon." Oregonian, 15th. REPORT OF TIIE OR AXD JURY. In the Circuit Court of the State of Oregon, for Clatsop County. To the Honorable Court above named: The undersigned, your grand jury for the August term of said court for the year 188i, respectfully report as follews: That we have examined into all charges of crime brought before us, and have found indictments in all cases where we thought the proof sufficient to warrant a conviction. We have observed a marked decrease in the amount of crime committed in Astoria since the sitting of the last grand jury; and are of the opinion that this favorable change has been brought about by what is known as the "twelve o'clock ordinance," re quiring saloons in Astoria to close at that hour. We are of the opinion that this is a wise and judicious ordinance, and that its effect is to reduco crime, there fore benefiting tho financial condition of the county, and seouring peace and good order, and we recommend that it be con tinued in force. We visited the city jail, city hall, and counoil chamber, and found them nil in good condition; wo find the public school ouse in good condition, excepting the lower windows, which are dilapidated, and affording access to evil-disposed per sons, nnd we recommend that they bo closed up nnd that the building be fully insured. We find the court houso in good order, excepting tho jury room, which we would recommend to be renovated and papered. We also recommend that the urinal in the shed near the stairway be removed, and that water be put into the court houso. We visited the hospital and found it a model of cleanliness and comfort, and the Sisters, in whose charge it is, deserve great orodit for their devotion to the work of making the condition of the un fortunates confided ts their care as com fortable as possible. We found nine county patients, some having beon in tho institution for six months, and others for two weeks, and they all appeared satisfied with their treatment. So far as wo have beon able to judge, the various officers of the county are properly performing their duties, and their offices are properly kept and car ried on. And now, having oompleted our labors, we ask to be discharged for the term. Dated at Astoria this ICth. day of August, 1S84. t ' M. Roqebs, Foreman. Malaria's 3IIshty Host.

Sargent, the manager of Mme. Janisch for the coming season, in conversation with a New York reporter, made a clean breast of his old diamond trick the other day. "Why," said he, "when ModjeskawaB employed by me she had not enough dia monds to buy a loaf of bread with. I had to advance her the money to come on hero from California with, when we began the season she was in vay debt very nearly 1,000. You can imagine, then, that when she first played 'Camille' nt the Fifth Avenue theater there were no diamonds to exhibit. But when we had played in soveral towns and got through with Boston we began to feel a little easier. I had some money in my pocket, and so had she. One dav we were walking along King street, in Mon treal, and we passed a jeweler's just next door to the theater. In the window was a magnificent diamond necklace. Mod jeska and I feasted our eyes on it, and then I said that wo might as well go in and seo it. She protested, 'What was the good?' but I said, "It may do us good to handle it, anyway.' So we went in and asked the man in charge of the store to see the necniace in me window. He recognized us, and taking it out, said it would b9 just the thing for the madame. We nudged each other as if it were a delicious joke. Then he told us it had b9en made for Mary Anderson but she had never come to claim it. I thought Mary had been going it rather strong, and then asked him the price of it; '8', said he, f40.' We were both astonished. Til give $35 for it,' said I, and tho bar gain was concluded, I took the necklace away (so far Modjeska had been playing Camille with a queer old necklace that fell to pieces nearly every night many a time I mended Jit). The next day I had a box made with bands of brass, a strong padlock, and handles n both ends for two men to carry. When we got to Chi cago I put the necklace in this strong box, and one night after the performance I walked up to the office of the hotel and had a man lift the box onto the counter. 'Put that in the safe,' I said. They looked at the box and said they never could get a box like that in the safe. 'Well,' said I, 'you put a notice in every room that you won t be responsible for valuables unless they are left in the safe, and hero is Mme. Modjeska's $40,000 necklace. I want you to take charge of it.' By this time there was a crowd J'eska got from the Czar of Russia can't e properly protected. Then get two policemen and put them to guard the box all night, and Til pay them myself.' The policemen were got and they sat on each side of the box of $35 diamonds till 12 next day. Nothing more was neces sary for me to do. The papers were full of the Czar's 40,000 diamonds, and Modjeska's jewelry was one of the at tractions of the season." "La Mascotte." Mr. F. E. Samuell, Music Teacher, La Mascotte, Bnrnett street, St Kilda, Melbourne, Australia, writes to ixQArgus of that city: I had suf fered for years with painful chil blains, and tried all kinds of remedies and received only temporary relief. After two applications of St Jacobs Oil, the 'great pain-cure, they were entirely cured and I have not been troubled with them since. Notice.
