It ba-> been relerred to by aomeot the uewapaper» ot the slate as “1'110 Salem Farce,” but when we consider Die people's interests it should l>e more appropriately styled a tragedy. The people of Oregon are not divided as to the urgent nei-ewily lor reliei Iroiu bad laws by ameiiduieulor repeal; there is not a member ol either branch ol the legislature who stands unpledged to his cuustilueuts in relation thereto, and yet the allotted time lor an eutirc session ol the Oregou 1-egislature has paised by and Homing is done, nor can anything be doue, unless at a later day the'Governor ■hail call a special session and the fol.y o me past be strenuously avoided. The quesiiou winch at this time most inlet eels the people u, who is to be field responsible lor the holdup aud Us unfor tunate consequences 7 A quesuon winch can best be answered by a briei recital of facta. Uu the lllh day ol January sixty men with i-erubeates ol election as represent atives presented themselves in the hall ol representatives and elected temporary odners, a committee ol Credentials waa appointed, ol which a majority have not to tins day taken the oath of office; they did not lor lour days filo a leport, aud the temporary speaker |>ersislently re fused. alter it was filed, to permit it to be considered. The reason ior Illis lor a few days was a luvsterv, but the Dupullsts finally sent Mr. C'reu ol Clack amas county aa their representative, to proprose a compromise which he did, as tollows: “If vou Republicans will vote for Jonathan Bourne as speaker, and will let us have absolute control ol the six leading committees to be selected by us auq sign a written pledge to vote for the Holt Elttclioa law, and ihe Bingham reg* islraUou law, and such measure» as we may submit in regard tu assessment and taxation, we will consider the propriety ol taking the oath oi office and doing our duty.” Rather a mode»; proposition wasn t it? Where is the honest man who would consider it for a moment?

It is true that remedial legislation is ef vital ne cessity to Oregon, but it must not be ob tained at the sacrifice of the integrity aud manhood of her representatives. The representative« who bxik the oath of office and sought to do their whole duty were not at any time bound to Mit chell, or any other one man. but they were and are bound to the light of an American freeman to exercise the right of suffrage without the dictation oi a pest iferous “BOSS ” These are the existing Conditions and their local sequences.

Some rascals have been amusing them selves shooting horsec jn Ten-Mils creek, in Wasco county, and 10 animals have been killed recently. A few days ago a fine horse belonging to Mrs. H.
