Sherman presided over the senate to-day. The chair laid before the sen ate an invitation to that body from the commissioners of the New Or leans expos tion to participate in the opening of the exposition on the lfith insL The communication, was laid on tho table, that being the usual for mal disposition of snch documents in the senate when no immediate disjo oition i" demanded by any senator. Vest, on behalf of the committee on commerce, requested that the com mit tee be difich trged from the consid eration of the oceanic ship railway bill. Test stated that he had received a letter from Captain Eads savin r that certain changes had been made in the concession from Mexico which made it necessary to withdraw the bill. The committee was accordingly dis charged from the consideration of the bill, which was then ordered to be withdrawn from the files of the sen ate. The senate then took up tho Ore gon Central land forfeiturovbill. At 2 o'clock the bill was laid aside until to-morrow and tho Dakota bill was taken up. Vest addressed the senate in oppo :tion to the admission of Dakota.' He contended the population was not enough to entitle it to a representa tive in congress, and that it would to a certain extent disfranchise the states already in the Union to give the present population of Dakota two representatives in the United States senate as well as a representative in the lower house of congress. De mands that are said to have been made since 1870 for the admission of the territory had been tho demands! of ambitious policians alone. After executive session, the .senate adjourned. The senate confirmed Bnrton Bar ker of Michigan, Indian agent at Fort Peck, Montana. The nomination of McCulloch to be secretary of the treasury was taken up in executive session and Senator Riddleberger continued his speech at some length, opposing the confirma tion, lie again called for the raiding of some of Secretary McCullock's annual reports, whereupon the senate adjourned, first postponing further consideration of Secretary McCul Ioch's nomination uutil next Tuesday. HOUSE Washington, Dec. 10. The joint resolution for continuing the work of the census bureau papsed, and the house went into committee of the whole on the mlilitary academy appropriation bill. Keifer offer ed an amendment providing hereafter that all appointments to the grade of second lieutenant in the army shall be confined to graduates of the military academy and to meritorious non commission ed officers recommended for promo tion in the manner now provided by law. At the suggestion of Ros'ecrans tho amendment was modified by in cluding enlisted men within its piovisions nnd by making the law inapplicable in the time of foreign war. The amendment then passed. Tho committee then rose aud report ed the bill to the house. Tho yens aud nays having been demanded on Keifer's amendment, agreed to in committee, it was defeated, yeas S3, nays 150. The bill then passed. On motion of Morrison the com mittee of the whole weio discharged from further consideration of the president's annual message. Morri son then offered a resolution which was adopted without debate or oppo sition, distributing the message ap propriately among the standiug and select committees of tho house. So much of the message as relates to revenue provisions, treaties with Hawaii, Spain and Mexico, aro refer red to the committee on ways and means. Mormon also offared a resolution providing for a holiday recess from the 23rd of December until the 5th of January, which was referred to a special committea Tha house then resumed consider ation of the inter-Btate commerce bill. In reply to a question by Townsend, Reagan expressed tho hope that a vote on the bill would bo reached to morrow. Townsend said that in case he would call up the Roagan pension bill as soon as the pending measure was disposed of. Stewart of Vermont took tho floor with a speech in favor of the appoint ment of a commission. Tamer of Kentucky supported the substitute, and claimed its supenon ty over the committee bill, which did nothing Lut create useless and orna mental offices. Budd, while he favored the general features of the substitute, vigorously attacked that portion of it prohibit ing railroad companies from charging more for a short than a long haul. If that provision were retained, he would bo compelled to vote against the entire measure. Fending further debate, the matter went over. The speaker laid before the house a message from the president trans mitting the report of theecretary ot state showing the necessity for im mediate legislation for the purpose oi onngmg me statutes ol use unuen States under conformity with the international regulation for prevent ing collisions at sea, which had been adopted by all leading maritime pow ers of the world except, this country, Referred, anSHtrhwradjottxasd. 1 PAST, PRESENT AND rUlTRE. Oregon undoubtedly needs capital from abroad, but tht is not, as we view it her greatest need. Home capital has not rightly used its oppui tuuities. "Merchant." in hi3 letter lays, as we think, too much stress on the subject of outside capital. For n.oiy years there h;u Uen horns cap ital in Uegon that could have doue great tuiugs, but per cent has bjeu its disease. Or, the alternation from the hyperthropy or per cent W!s the wasting fever of speculation. Thu.t has b,ien capital euungh here to have started all needful industries long ago, had it been judiciously directed. Uut its owners preferred 'to go on from year to year and from decade to decade collecting percentages and commissions from the industry of the country, till one day a lot of them! bit at tho Villard bait aud wero tleeced out of a big sum "Merchant" says four million of dollars. By this nnd other facts it is niude evident that Oregon has not needed foreign capital so much as she has needed a right direction of her Lome capital. it is now uuucuit, next to impos sible, no doubt; to get money iromt abroad for any undertaking with J which the name of Oregon is con-1 nected. According to Merchant," SGS.OUU.ODO is the sum "dropped" by outsiders in Oregon railway schemes.) nxt s a nuj,o totai. uut uregon is not the delinquent. It ought not to, I e charged up against Orjgoa. The i men who furnished the m'.jey did not! select the ptoer mtnagers. 'Jibe! manageis, in their efforts lo enrich tLemselves, squandered the funds. They who had the handling of this money, or the direction were not Oregon men. They were" ltvtrrlii ?tifiTnifra from iltrf.l "Willi I them money other people's money was no object While this was going on there was a good deal of forced activity through-' rf Hpflimn ntlrl flirt tirtfilirr'ni?' Itts-ti now since it u over we must submit that the country its html fever pa&t J "sleeps wen. iu.eu wno made me. onlv effort of their lives when Vidard laid his surprising cheat before them. appear now to have resolved never more ta depart fro.n the s ife old path) of percentages and commissions. In1 the period of another lifetime they may recoup oy tno old metnotis, u "that fell sergeaut, death," of whom Hamlet speaks, 4Je .not- too "strict in iuia uuuija u.-vaiuuuui.igaiiKiunuc fact that our people'oTYdloferfffrm ers, mechanics, merchants, capitalists who have been isoluted here thirty years or more, have become fixed in their habits, customs anil methods, and these are not ia accord with the principles aud needs of modern pro gress. It is not. surprising tint it is so; it would be surprising if it were not The Qreyonian is nearly as old a&ettler as auv, and therefore the Oreyoninn mav claim the right to say that the old settler may n t belc"rner Hncmfju for tho new era the msS rueful man. S" A. Clarke, writing in tho Occr- land Monthly on the pioneers ui Oregon, quotes John "Whiteakor, lir-st governor ot the state, as s-iying: "We don't need railroids, an 1 have no use for so many people. Yon kuow how times used to be when we had the country to ourselves?; when there were no poor people around us, and few who were very rich. Then wj hal good times, and cired nothing for the outside world; while now, people are pouring in by the tLonsaud. We have railroads aud ships come from all parts of the world, aud times are hard, and mnny are poor. W; uevjr again shall see the good tinias. an 1 experience the general goo 1 will til it we had when there were a few of ih here in the early days." This is the voice of old Oregon We want a new Oregon that will speak with another tongue! And therefore on one point we agree decidedly with ''Merchant.' There are grc it resources here, and we want people to develop them. Or egon and the northwest ought to be advertised everywhere, as n2Vjr be fore. We want peonlo from other states, and capital, too, since if we may judge tho future froii the past. neither people nor capital n w he o will ever do much to develop the re sources and push on the enterprirC of the country. Old as Iowa, and older than K'msis, Minnesoli an 3 Nebraska, Oregon is immeasurably behind them. The first housa was built in Denver in 1353. The, city is now twice as large as Fortland; yet who supposes that thp resources of Colorado are c mparablo with tho3e of Oregon? Feople who come hero will run against no walls of fixel and hostile opinion, such as they find in the southern states. We have no pecu liarities, save au indifference to pret ty near everything, and a love or ease. We are not in tho "slightest degree intolerant of tho opinions of others, and it wa discuss or specul ite npou matters of opinion it is with a mild interest or subdued curiosity. Nothing excites us, that is to s iy, we have never ben excited yet, and we are hospitable to the stranger. We hope he will come among us and go to work with' an intelligent energy. Wo should rather enjov seeing that sort of thing. Thertfjre, mtwith standing the protests of our Whitea kers, we hope he will come. As old settlers here .&e mast admit that we nave no eso usive rights. We are- not a "chosen" or "preferred" people. Tho country isn't onrs exclusively. apd therefore wa .gay, .'iuilioaoeyr. wiiij'-lit una cornel" uregoman, iu. gTHEG5EATG:RMlMI HEW3EBY fOB-PAffl.
