A, portfQtl Chineso firm has re--r
r e a dispatch from Lowiston,
tjficr that agents had boon sentov-
to Pierce City to investigate tho
reported hanging of five China
men there. It is said one of the men
hung was a wealthy Chinese mer
chant named Gove Nam, who had
just closed out his business and waB
about to relurn to China. Tho Chi
nese here, says the Oregonian, are
somewhat troubled about the late
outrages at Rock Springs, Coal creek
and Pierce City on their countrymen,
and evidently fear that they may be
repeated on a larger scalo at San
Francisco by Coroner O'Donnell and
his disciples.

sometime next week; tho boats will
start from the Main street wharf and
go around the black spar buoy on tho
starboard tack, then down stream
two and a half miles, and return, each
man to handle his own boat. Any

OF SUFRE5IE IMPORTANCE.
Are the Tax Levies for the Current Year
Constitutional?
The following is a letter from "Re
publican" to the Portland News:
Editors News: On the 21st inst. I
called your attention aud that of your
readers to what I then believed to be,
and so termed it, the monumental
blunder of the legislature at its last
session, in fixing our next state elec
tion in June, 18S7, instead of Juno,
18SG, as it should have done. Further
investigations, however, while de
tracting nothing from what I then
said as to the fearful mistake in that
piece of legislation, aud the disas
trous consequences which are sure to
follow, has developed the fact that a
still more stupendous and fatal blun
der was made at the same session,
and it is this: I assert, without fear
of successful contradiction from any
competent authority, that the late
legislature, by positive enactment re
pealed all laws authorizing tho levy
of any county or state taxes in this
state for any purpose whatever, save
and excepting for the following pur
poses, to wit: Tho support of the
common schools, the state un
iversity and for tho payment of
the principal or interest of the
bonded indebtedness of the state.
In other words, I assert the legis
lature at its late session destroyed
the right and power of every county
in this stato to levy any tax whatever
for any purpose whatever, save and
except for tho support of common
schools, the Stato university aud for
the payment of the principal and iu
terest of tho bonded indebtedness of
this state.
I assert furthermore, without fear
of successful contradiction, that un
less section 4 of an act of the late leg
islature, approved bj' the governor,
February 2G, 1835, and found on pag
es 135 and 130 of the printed laws
of Oregon, for 18S5, is declared un
constitutional by tho supreme court
of this state, that then all county
levies of taxes made by every county
in this state for the year 18S5 are un
constitutional and void, raado with
out any authority of law, and can not,
if resisted, bo collected.
Section 2 of Article IX of the con
stitution of this state prescribes as
follews:
"The legislative assembly shall pro
vide for raising revenue sufficient to
defray tho expenses of the state for
each fiscal year, aud also a sufficient
sum to pay the interest ou tho stato
debt if there be any.''
"While section 3 of the same article
reads as follews:
"No tax shall bo levied except in
pursuance of law, aud every law im
posing a tax shall stato distinctly
tho object of the same to which only
it shall be applied."
All must agree that no tax either
stale or county can bo constitution
ally levied in this stato for auy pur
pose whatever, except it be dono in
pursuance of soma act of the legislat
ure. The last legislature made no
provision whatever for levying any
county tax. and no provision for lev
ying any state lax, except that it
should be '-levied and collected in
each of said counties in the manner
other taxes aro levied and collected,"
(See Sub. 3d, Sec. 2, Act February 20,
1885, Session Laws 18S5, page 135),
while tho legislature did, in the fourth
section of the same act, without auy
exception, qualification, or limitation
whatever, repeal all acts and parts of
acts levying a tax upon the real or
personal property of the inhabitants
of this stato for any purpose except
for tho support of common schools,
tho State university, and for the pay
ment of the principal and interest of
tho bonded indebtedness of the state.
This section reads as follews:
That all acts, or parts of acts, levy
ing a tax upon tho real or personal
property of the inhabitants of this
stato for any purpose except the sup
port of common schools, tho State
university, and for the payment of the
principal or interest of the bonded
indebtedness of the state, be and the
same are hereby repealed.
It will be observed this section does
not simply repeal all acts or parts of
acts that are inconsistent with thoact
of which this repejiling clause is a.
part, but it is with tho exceptions it
specifies, to-wit: school tax. universi
ty tax and bonded indebtedness lax,
broad and sweeping in its scope, re
pealing "all acts or parts of nets levy
ing a tax upon tiio real or personal
property of this state for any purpose.
"Will tho governor's advisers who
interested in swamp land and other
rings, are resorting to every expedient
known to schemers and ringsters to
prevent a special session of the legis
lature, for fear of a resolution of in
vestigationattempt to explain away
this fearful legislative blunder as they
have others scarcely les3 gigantic, by
asserting it to be a clerical mistake,
or that tho act is unconstitutional?
Let these private advisers come to tho
front, and in the columns of the press
of this state intelligently answer these
flagrant defects in the legislation of
tho late session, and which so serious
ly affect first, tho fiscal affairs of tlie
state, and which, if not corrected be
fore the next regular session of the
legislature of this state, will involve
the people of this commonwealth in
such a maze of complications, litiga
tion and disaster, as will rentier it a
byword and reproach among all peo
pleand will also, at the next election
in this state, bury out of sight the
party upon which the responsibility
for all these blunders can be properly
saddled.
It is for the present governor of
this stato to correct the mistakes and
avoid these disasters to his state and
parly, or failing in this, he personally
and politically will be held responsible
for converting what are now only mis
takes into unpardonable crimes.

A special to the Galveston News
from Sherman says: During tho
hearing of an Indian territory case
before the United States commis
sioner, Sheriff Douglas, of this (Gray
son) county, arrested ono of the wit
nesses in attendance, charging him
with being Newton Chanco murderer
of Julius Foster, editor of the Sher
man 1'atriot, who was foully assas
sinated on tho night of July 10, 1SG1.
The arrest caused a sensation. Tho
prisonor will not admit that his namo
is Ch'ance. Tho murder of Foster
who was a Unionist, caused a groat ex
citement at tho timo. Other witness
es from Indian territory say that
Chance has been living with them in
seclusion for over twenty years.
The veterans of tho Twenty-first
Illinois volunteers (Graut's old regi
ment) had a reunion at Neoga, Ills.,
on the 23rd. Several speeches were
made, and when about to adjourn,
loud calls wero mado for Colonel
Fred Grant, who, being present, fin
ally arose and said: "I do not in
tend to mako you a speech. I was
not trained as a public talker. Thero
is a document I would liko to read
you. It is tho last lines written by
my father on matters of tho war and
never beforo mado public. As he en
tered the war you were his first com
panions. Ho has always spoken of
your regiment with aflectionato inter
est Here are his parting words.
This is what he wrote, tho pages I
hold here: 'I feel wo oro now on tho
era when there will bo great har
mony between federals and confed
erates. I cannot stay to bo a living
witness to tho correctness of the
prophecj', but feel within mo it is to
be so. The universally kind feeling
expressed for me from tho time when
I supposed each day would proTO to
be my lost, it seems to mo tho begin
ning of the answer, "Let us have
peace." Tho expressions of theso
kindly feelings are not restricted to
any section of tho country nor indi
viduals, but are from citizens of all
nationalities, all denominations, Pro
testant, Catholic and Jew; from vari
ous societies of the land, scientific, ed
ucational, religious and otherwise.
Politics do not appear in tho matter
at all. I am not an egotist, though
I suppose all this significance should
be given to the matter, because I am
the object of it; but tho war between
the states was a very bloody, a very
costly one. One Bide or tho other
had to yield principles deemed dearer
than life before it was brought to an
end. I commanded tho whole mighty
host engaged on the victorious side,
no matter whether deservedly or not.
I represent that side of the contro
versy. It is a significant and grati
fying fact that the confederates
should have joined this spontaneous
move. I hope the- good feeling in
augurated may continue to tho
end.' "
Tho Orrcon Pacific.
A force of men has been at work
for the past two weeks laying steel
rails on n portion of tho Oregon Pa
cific railroad, a short distance from
Corvallis, which had been laid with
narrow gauge iron. The road bed
was leveled up at tho same timo and
the road placed in perfect order. It
is probable that the work was com
pleted and that the heavy locomotives
of tho oompany arrived at Corvallis
yesterday. Tho forco of men em
ployed on this work will at once be
put at work building a switch from
the depot to tho warehouse on tho
bank of the river, where some 150,000
bushels of wheat aro now stored. Ar
rangements aro being made to put
on a line of boats from Corvallis to
Harrisburg, and intermediate points,
to bring wheat to the Oregon Pacific.

Sometime ago the county-commissioners
advertised for bids "for tho
burial of the county poor." The sup
position is that it was intended to
bid for the burial of that portion only
of the county poor that became de
funct while a public charge. With
this idea Messrs. Ross and Franklin
put in bids, which when opened wore
identical in aniount, each being will
ing to perform tho individual obse
quies for $15. Subsequent figuring
showed that they were still further
agreed that each funeral would cost
them $16.90. Just whore the profit
of tho successful bidder would como
in is not visiblo to the nude eye. Any
of tho county poor who contemplate
quitting this earthly scene would do
well to postpone the demise till this
thing is settled.

THE LEADING
Dry Goods iGiof
IN THE CITY,
Tie Finest Mi The Largest Stock,
And the Lowest Prices.
While economy is wealth, it is not policy to be penny-wiso and
pound-foolish by purchasing auction goods, or goods that have lain for
a long time upon the shelves of some fossilized store, a prey to moths
and deteriorating dust, which fact with misfits, etc., makes them un
desirable, and then they become auction or so-called Cheap John
goods, which are conceded by the wise to be dear at any price, and
for which people of this day pay only a trifle less than for first-class
goods at a
ONE PRICE, FIRST CLASS HOUSE,
Which carries a Large Assortment but a Small Stock, which is kept
fresh by constant replenishing from the Eastern and Pacific Markets
within a short space of time and at prices for the quality of goods that
defies competition.
Just received from an Eastern Factory a fine assortment of Men's,
Boys and Children's Hats, which in Quality, Style and Price excels
anything ever before offered in the city.
A full line of Genuine Kangaroo and Dongola Shoes,xfor Ladies or
Gents which are highly recommended for this climate, as they are con
sidered water proof and will not crack, while they are the easiest shoe
on the foot ever manufactured.
