Mageo, canio into tho Hay towing a small schooner waterlogged, and with out a sign of auiiiuitod humanity on board, in tho tug turned to bring her into tho wharf at Doun it Co.'s, tho little craft capsized. She was soon righted, however, ami proved to bo the Oil v in Shulti, which was loaded at the Siusluw river a fow weeks since with salmon in barrels, ami slave timber. Captain Mageo was informed by mail carrier Cornwall on Friday, that a schooner had been seen near tho mouth of tho Siitslaw apparently in a disabled condition. Ho proceed ed with tho Jiscort to her relief, find ing her three-fourths of a mile from shore, and about one-half a mile south of the Siusluw entrance. There were no signs of lifoon board her rudder was broken, her sails nicely furled and one anchor was out but did not touch tho bottom, but u " keilgo anchor" was holding her. She was full of water and her deck load gone. She was immediately ta ken in tow and brought to this port. It appears that slio was brought from San Francisco somo weeks since by W. A. Cox, Sen., to tho Suishiw, where she was loaded with staves and llsh. Mr. Cox oanio home lo tho Co ipiillo leaving his son V. A. Cox, .Jr., in charge as master, to take her to San Francisco. Sho was anchored in tho river, ami it is supposed parted her cable and drifted to sea in the night. Of tho crew unlhiughas been heard. Their clothing was found in the cabin, anil it is feared that they havo either been washed overboard and drowned, or havo met the same fate in attempting to reach thoshoro- Th'o owners of the tug aro pumping out the water, and will take proper care of the vessel and cargo, subject to the adjustment of salvage. I'll t-t Iter I'nrllc iiliu-. Since tho above was in typo wc havo learned that tho schooner is owned by A. SohtilUo, of San Fran cisco, and was chartered by V. A. Cox for a trip to tho Siusluw.

J. .Moody; a fow hides and 11 few shoes, probably for trade. The vessel has been discharged, and is found to bo but little injured ; sho now is on tho mud-Hal opposite this place. It is said that sho is injured to tho amount of $2500. From tho fact tho ship's boat has not been found, and 110 provisions or clothing on board, it is thought possi ble that tho crew left the vessel in tho boat, and may yet bo afloat, or have been picked up by some passing sail craft. The disaster is a heavy blow to Mr. Cox, who far beyond his pecuniary loss, feels tho uncertainty of tho fate of his two sous. 4.'oii!tl tly IfeniH.

Tho tail of this concern in tho ab sence of tho bond does not got demor alized. Wo havo been following tho oven tonor of our ways, and havo not written ton lines for publication in tho lust three months; but as tho pro ceedings of tho Democratic Conven tion, referred to in tho iVWrs by "Miner,'' wore kindly furnished the Maii, at our request, wo will not go back on tho writer. Ho no doubt considered tho assumed title of the candidate for Sherifl'of greater import ance than the name, although ho is tho degenerate son of tho distinguish- .I,.,, i ,, ed (Ion. .loo Lane, and consequently ,. , l ' put it in capitals. We, too, havo known Mr. Hydo for sovorul years; arc on very friendly tonus, and wo also beliovoho is a man of integrity. Ho was honored for several years with important and lu crative olllccs in Jackson county, and, no doubt, lllled tho positions ably. When his party in that county saw fit, for good reasons, to roliro him, be showed his appreciation for all the favors ho had received, hy turning his buck to his constituents and coming lo Coos, where ho managed, when tho fust opportunity olleied, to get a nomination for oliiee. For litis ho is stigmatized a " ourpot-biiggor," and wo aro not sure but his own party has contributed its share in applying tho term. . Wo uro accused by "lincr" of suf fering from 11 morbid ulllielion of ac quisitiveness. If industry and prud ence uro symptoms of the disease, wo certainly have it; not in its malig nant form, but of (ho chronic kind. We are noi rich : not half, nor oven 0110 quarter rich, and if "Miner" en vies us the little wo have Kaved dur ing years of faithful cobbling, wo ad vise him to repress his communistic propensities. Our associations and sympathies have always been with tho working mau. Where a coullicl exists, and he is oppressed hy capital, wo rejoice when he is victor; and when a candi date who was never known to do an holiest day's work, or to entertain an honest thought for honest motives, at tempts to mislead those whom ho considers tho unthinking working- class, by Iriimpingupolup-lrup i'smucs, in comparison to which, tho mot ri diculous utterances of Kearney are dignified, wo hold him in supremo contempt, and feel surry for his vic tims. If the working-men of Coos county were a depraved set like the shiftless renegades who follow Kear ney, then " Siglin's lady " uiiglil bo a sweet morsel. Tho unthinking working-man is generally controlled by his intuitive perceptions of right, while Iho schem ing demagogue is ill quest of fallacies t j mislead him, and attempting to in cite his passions and prejudices by tho uso of sophilry ; the debased will follow him or go hand in bund, wheth er they be ignorant, and vent vile bil lingsgate, or uro educated to use lino nourishes of rhetoric. During our olhorwiso unoccupied tinio wo arc making abstracts of real ostato titles, and know something about how Jones gobbled up coal lands at $ 1 25 per acre. Ho purchased section 10 school land adjoining tho Newport mine, of tho Democratic Commissioners for the sale of school lands, for ifl ii5 jor acre, appraised by a Democratic school superintendent, who know its locution and ought to havo had "oinc idou of its vuluo. Tho transaction, however, did not affect these worthios, for tboy were re-elected, lie also en tered a half section as coal land, pay ing tho (iovornment -f 10 por aero. This is probably the claim which tho iVcw so insinuatingly speaks of as having been entered for gardening purposes and then making the lucky discovery of coal. Of the othor hinds owned by tho company and obtained by Jones, is u quarter section pre-emptod by T. 0. Owen, Democratic candidate for Pres idential Flcotor, who, ut tho time of holding and entering tho claim, was ucting us Justice of tho Pouco in Kin- piro City precinct. Another quarter section wns entered hy (5co. Klgin ; another by M. Mndigan; anothor by ltobt. Statkoy, and another bv Fred.

H, Jones, announcing that in con sequence of business engagements', it would ho iinpossiblo for him to serve uiu imiiv un men cumin uu mi oinie '.'. ' ., ,. ,, ., , ,, , Senator. Ho cordially thanks the 11 .1.. .... .!.!.. I!. I..... r.... tli.i. members of tho Convention and his friends for tho honor conferred upon him, and assures them that he will earnestly support tho Republican ticket. Ho had hoped that his busi ness could ho so arranged us not lo stand in the way of bis giving tho at tention to the canvass that the sub ject domanded, but failing in this, he tendered bis resignation. Realizing tho nocossity for prompt ly filling tho vacancy, Mr. Nasburg and II. P. Whitney, being a majority of Iho Central Committee, after con sulting with members of tho parly, called on J. 0 Huynos of Coos City and UNkcil that gentleman to permit his name to fill tho vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr. Jones. Mr. Haynes appeared much surprised, but accepted the honor tendered him. Mr. Haynes has never been an office seeker, and though ho has scv erol times been solicited to accept 11 nomination, lias never before con sented to allow his name to bo pre sented as 11 candidate. He is n log ger, and a man who knows what la bor is by an everyday experience of many years; yet ho is well informed upon all the questions of the day and strictly honorable. Jf the loggers are ground down bv tho mill men, Mr. Haynes knows it by experience, and be is fearless enough to strike boldly for a romedv. Ho fa vors paying caidi for labor, and that at a reasonable price. Ifo is a man who can be depended upon for bonosi and judicious legislation. Ho is the next Joint Senator from Coos and Curiv! Tin; Ie Voiiii .Miirilci' .'ao. One Clement Sha'w, who was a witness before the Coroner's inquest upon the body of Do Young, swore that Do 1 oung fired tho first shot, lie was promptly arrested forpurju ry. The examination of Kalloch was hold ; no witnesses were called for tho defense, and Kalloch was committed for murder. On the 2l)th tilt., Kalloch published the follow ing card in the Post. KniTois 1'ost: 1 havo not a word to say about tho facts or merits of niy case. 1 wish it to bo tried in tho ordinary way. Fair play, espec ially toward a man charged with murder is supposed to bo character istic of American communities, but 1 exp3Ct to have no fair play on or before my trial if tho fast men and corrupt detectives who surround the Chronicle ollice and assume to run the citv can prevent it. It is infa mous that public olHccrs who are paid by the community should work illegitimately for private individuals, and convert what ought to be honor able prosecution into malignant per secution. The drivel published in the Chronicle of last Sunday shows how somo of our detectives will in vade private houses and try to fright en ignorant people. As for the ar rest of Clement Shaw, 1 have this to say : 1 do not know the man and 1 make no statement as to my version of what transpired. I do not say whether tho testimony was correct or incorrect, but I do declare he had no motive so far as 1 can sec to con ceal or pervert the truth, and that there is nothing in his evidence- to indicate perjury. It looks to me as if his arrest was intended by tho Chroniclo and detectives to warn citizens of San Francisco that they must not testify to any facts that would even tend towards my excul pation. Yours truly, J. M. Kalloch. I'li-o iii I'ui-llaiiil.

Not having the full names of all the candidates nominated for tho county olllccs in Curry county, and being tin acquainted with some of them, cither by reputation or olhorwiso, wo have deferred comment on tho selection until the present time. When tho namo of Raleigh Scolt was announced as the choice of the convention for Joint Representative, considorablo interest was manifested to loam what kind of a man lie was, as howusiiot generally known In this county. Hut havo been pleased to learn from various sources that Mr. Scott is a man who possesses all the qualifications dcgirablo in a Represen tative. He is an intelligent and sub stantial stock raiser, prompt, active and honorable in business, and a man who will readily adapt himself to the business of the Legislature. Captain O. II. Coolcy, candidate for County Judge, is a ship master by pro fession, but ho has been some years 011 shore, and has become well acquaint ed with the various interests of that county. His well known qualifica tions for the ofllco, and undoubted in tegrity, led to his being selected by the people for their candidate long before the convention assembled. Ills majority will be as large as that of any man in the cam ass of that county. Walter Sutton, who is nominated for ro- election to tho office of County Clerk, has discharged the duties of that office faithfully and well fur four years past. He enjoys the confidence of the pcoplo of the county to the full est extent, and will bo triumphantly re-elected as be ought to be. Win. Oauntlctt, for sheriff, is a good selection. lie is a young man, who has been raised in the county; ho is reliable, onergetic and competent, and his election will insure the county an efficient Sheriff. J. Still and Carl Jensen arc both highly esteemed citizens, in whoeo hands, as County Commissioners, the interests of the taxpayers of Curry county will bo safe. M. IJ. Gibson, nominate for Treasur er, is the present incumbent in that ollice, the duties of which have been sutisfaetoriully performed. He was formerly a resident of this county and has many friends here who are pleas ed to hear that bis good qualities arc appreciated in our sister county. Willis W. Miller, for Assessor, T. Cunningham for Coroner, and Rev. C. K. Philbrook.for School Superinten dent aro all good nominations. The entire ticket is composed of excel lent men, and the voters of the coun ty will, we do not doubt, do themselves thecreilit to elect everyone of them. Coos count will give Mr. Scott u cor dial support. J'ii-Nt oil tlit Sldo -Tlicn on l'li-il. It is interesting to notice the con tortions of a man who is anxious to put himself in the position to get more votes than be can expect to ro- ccivoon principle or merit. In his issue of April 2Sth, Mr. Siglin submits this proposition : "Kvery man who is opposed to an official Scaler will vote the Republi can ticket." Again in bis issue of the 5th inst. finding himself cornered by his own record, ho makes the following miser able apology 1 "When Major Drown introduced the 'Scaler's bill' wo did not npprove of it because wo were not so well in formed us to its necessity. Wc be lieve in trammeling trade with lcgis lation as little us possible, at tho same time nrotectinu both capital and la bor, heneo wo were opposed to tho bill." Here he admits that be opposed tho "Scaler bill" two years ago, but he says bo was not "woll informed" then on tho subject. Ho claims ho did not then understand tho necessity of such a measure! lie understands it now; Oh, yes! Ho sees it clearly now. Why? Simply because ho thinks thoroaro votes in it. Docs not every voter in Coos county know that J. M. Siglin has practiced low on Coos Day since 1S71? And yet ho claims that in 1S7S ho did not understand the necessity for a Sealer law, after the subject had been discussed in all its phases publicly and privately among Ills neighbors ; after ho hud on moro than one occasion presented tho sub ject of docking or deducting (500 feet for tho defects of a -100 foot log, to a jury in the Circuit Court. It must bo humiliating to a man who would liko to voto for an intelli gent, honest and candid Democrat, to see tho man who beads his local ticket resorting to such dodges ns this. It is an evidence that ho thinks tho voters of tho district can bo captured by tho most clearly sham professions of suddenly aroused interest in their behalf. Just liuw captivating this stylo of statesmanship is, remains to be seen. Tin: Republicans want to got away with the Domocrat's Hyde, but they won't do it.

Mail: In the Coot liny News of April Mtb, appears tho following question and answer: "Loggers why do not bo many of you loose your pay this summer as you did last? Re cause our Coos county Democratic Legislators remembered your inter ests, and were not afraid of the frowns of tho iiionopolists. The lien law docs it." 1 As the above quotation was intend ed especially for working men, allow mo, a working man, to ask a few questions, to bo answered by whom soever it pleases. Is not tho lien law passed at our last session of tho legislature verbatim with the lion law on tho statute pass ed in 1853 ; as regards him? Was tho the law of 185.1 ever repealed? If not, did it become void by limitation? If not, does the law of 1878 make it any more binding, or a man collect bis wages any quicker, or with less ex pense? If not, whero is the sense of passing a law already in existence? Why did not the Coos county Demo cratic Legislators pass the IjOtj Scalers Laxcl Whom were they afraid of? What lias caused the News to fall so suddenly and passionately in love with the laboring class? Tho working men of Coos county cannot bo im posed on by the vaporingsof any pol itician. Nor will wc allow ,our preju dice to be excited against capital by the cry of "monopolist." Wo want laws, alike, just to capital and labor, cuppling neither. Let the working men of Coos county send men to the legislature who understand their wants, who will legislate impartially, and who are themselves working men, such are Jerry Haynes and Billy Morras.

Every timo ho went out the casliior was instructed todrop ten cents into tho drawer to our credit. At the end of seventeen months the man who bad gono out so often had drank himself outof a good situation, and the drawer, when open ed, was found to contain $409, which we loaned to a young mechanic at seven per cent, interest. Ho used it to purchase a set of tinner's tools. On the 15th of November, 1876, he return ed it to us with interest, saying in his letter that he lias now a wife, two children, and property worth $1000.
