fc I ic 3mJ!wm The Coast Mail. ATAT, . . jr. , im, AtVOTMKR YXAM. With this Issue wo not only enter upon the new year, but we ido com mence the second volumo of tho Coast Mail. Tho paper was start ed without a prospectus having beea issued, find without a canvass for patrons, and its success has more than met tho expectations of the proprietors. Our list of subscri bers has been steadily increasing since the first number was issued, and it is a sourco of special gratifi cation that it holds all who have once subscribed. It has been our purposo for somo months past, to lay aside tho "pat ent outside" system, at the com mencement of tho year, and, owing to an unexpected obstruction of tho means of transportation between hero and Roseburg, wo were compell ed to do so a few weeks earlier than was intended. The paper is now on a substantial basis, and it will here after bo mado moro attractive than it has been in the past. We have perfected arrangements for a scries of articles, on tho sub ject of the early history of Curry county, with moro perfect accounts than havo over before been written of tho Indian massacres and other events of thrilling interest with which that history abounds. The increased space at our disposal, sinco we have undertaken the printing of our own paper, will enable us also, to present our readers with a more complete synopsis of the general news of the day, and we shall con tinue, as in the past, to make it more complete in local news than any other paper ever printed in Coos county. The year now opened, promises to h one of more than ordinary ac tivity, in business as well as in po litical circles. Our regular biennial election coming on next June, will be followed by the Presidential con test, in November, making almost the entire year a continuous politi cal campaign. The rcvivai in busi ness, and especially the restoration of the price of coal and lumber to figures which will justify shipment has a certain bearing upon the gen eral prosperity in this coast region ; and the opening of work upon the harbor improvement, will add an important item to the revival of bus iness in Coos county. As the Mail has received a cordial support dur ing the depressed period of the past year, we feel assured of largly in creased patronage in the more pros perous future ; ana our readers and patrons shall see improvement in our paper in proportion to the in crease in the business and prosperi ty of the community in which it circulates. 7b KtsBit " fftooi titers Oregon la Uro Omlng? Election. In a few months, the voters of the different political parties will hold their conventions and nominate can didates for the various State and county offices to be filled at the next June election. It is the duty of the people of all parts of the State to think about this important busi ness beforehand, and to discuss the qualifications and character of all possible candidates, in order that, when the time comes for action, they may be able to act intelligently, and avoid being thrown in the power of designing and unworthy politicians, The coming election will be one of the most important ever held under our State organization; for, although there will be no Executive to be chosen, the judges of all the higher courts in the State, ore to be elected. This arises from the provisions of the Act of the last Legislature, pro viding for the creation of a separate Supreme Court, and for the appoint ment of all of the Circuit, as well as Supreme Judges, to hold till the coming election. In making nom inations for fiie various State offi cers, the question of locality is one which has much bearing upon the choice of candidates, and tho citi zens of all parts of the State very properly insist upon a just represen tation on the ticket This principle has also been recognized by the Governor in appointing the Judges of the Supreme Court; Judge Kelly being chosen from Portland, Boise, from Salem, and Primin, from southern Oregon. With tho single exception of Judge Primm, southern Oregoa has, at present, no personal representative among the officers of the State; this condition of things is hardly just, and the southern del egates of both partie to the nomi nating conventions, will probably claim from that part of the State, one of the Supreme Judges, and the Representative to Confrew, North ern && northna4crn Owgtu send our'pritent Scoters, awl "tho cen tral portion of fro 8UtjW present Representative; anl nothing short ortnoabsenco of a suitable candi date could bo mndo an oxcuso for denying southern Oregon tho next Representative to Congress, We have interests of great importance to tho State at large, and of still greater importance to tho residents or this part of tho State, which should reccivo tho carnost attention of Oregon's Representative; and whilo wo havo no reason to accuse tho present officials of neglecting tho interests of any part of the State, wo would look for moro efficient work from a man who is personally ac quainted with our wants, and whose interests are with the people of south ern Oregon. Nor is tho material for a Congress man, wanting; tho Convention can find, south of the Callipooia moun tains, a man who, in all the elements required for that office, will com pare favorably with tho best in tho State. This is truo of both political parties; and wo hope the citizens who may havo the selecting of our candidates, will eoe that tho choice for that oflico is made from tho southern portion of tho State. tty Acalnut ASVctlen, A New Haven dispatch of recent date, says; There was a dramatic scene in tho Harden trial to day dur ing the cross-examination of Mrs. Haydcn, when Mr. Waller asked the following question: Now, madam, you needn't answer this question until you arc told to by tho court: Mr. Haydcn, you say, is your husband and the father of your three children, and that he has been a devoted husband to a loving wife for between eight aud nine years; that you have constantly maintained pleasant relations, and that there has been and is now the utmost confi dence existing between you; that you aro convinced of his innocence, and know that if he is found guilty he must suffer ignominious punish ment. Under these circumstances, would you not, under oath, as you are, mako a misstatement T" There was no answer. The witneca burst into tears, as did nearly every woman in the court, and tears glis tened in the eyes of the sterner sex. A silence as of death pervaded the room, and the counsel for tho defense hisucd out, "It is an insult to the wit ness." Walter defended his action, but the court ruled tho question an improper one. The State Fair for IS&e. The unavailing efforts of the State Agricultural Society to fix the time for holding tho Fair so as to avoid wet weather, has driven them to a " new departure " so to speak. At a meeting of thosocioty ou the 2d ult., the time of holding the fair of 1880, was fixed to commence on Thursday, July let, and close on Thursday, July 8th. It was ordered that on July 5th, there be a grand celebration of the National Anniversary, with oration, etc., in the forenoon. In tho after noon, two trials of speed, and display of equestrianship, farget shooting, etc. for premiums offered, and in the even ing a grand display of fireworks in front of the grand stand ; scats free. National salute at sunrise, noon and sun down. Mexico at Peace, and Happy. The insurrection which a short time since threatened to amount to an revolution in Mexico, has died out, and a late dispatch says : Teace pre vails throughout tho Republic. Con gress is discussing the Sonora railroad concession to which there is great op position, based upon the fear that such a road would precipitate the movement for the annexation of So nora, Hinaloa and Chihauhau, or in cite filibustering from California. The richness of Sierra Mojara is rapidly deyeloping. Valuable gold reins have been discovered. Ameri cans are invited to come with mach inery or engage in any other business. Large quantities of American goods are coming in. Jay Oenld Cor I be Faclfle, Texas A late dispatch says : It is under stood that Gould, Busscll, Sago and some other New York capitalists, are bidders for the construction contract of the Texas and Pacific railroad, to extend the road at $25,000 a mile. They agree to take stock and bonds in equal amount in payment. This will cd ve them 18,000,000 of the stock of the company, and in case they complete their contract within two and a hall years, that will give them the control by a stock vote. This offer will prob ably be accepted within a few days. Ax exchange y the Corvallis Fruit Company is now drying fruit by the Plummer process, and shipping the same to England.
