about (10 cents. or pound for tlio

mohair from Cook, hut wo havo any
quantity of range, adapted for rais
ing Angoras, and the busilios might
become extensive.
Mr..x. A fow weeks sinco wo called
attention to Hid fuel (hat while Siglin
wus soliciting vote in mm column of
his pnjii'r, lio was advertising himself
in another as not being im olllee hold
er lionin ofllco seeker, nnil he says it
was " 11 little menu" to end iitlontion
toil. Perhaps it was mean; when n
tiling like that in done in a iiiiut way,
it is hardly fair to make it public. Ho
Mill keeps it up ; hut perhaps the ap
parent ineoiiHiHteney has been remov
ed by the change of ownership.

Last Saturday, tho lug '.Voif.Capl.
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. A man
named (Ins. Wilson, was master;
Tlios. Nelson, a Norwegian, seaman,
and F. Wilson, brother of the captain,
was rook. W. A. Cox, Jr., was also on

tho vessel was found.
The cargo consisted of 101 half bar
rels and -t burfcltf of salmon, owned
by a man named Murr, of tho Siusluw,
and tho ussigne of I'uierson Corvel ;
"(SOO staves, owned by Mr. Cox; U.I4
tons of solder, owned by the assignee
of Corvil ; a package of furs shipped
by A. 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.

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

Last Saturday a letter was receiv

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

One Clement Sha'w, who was a

that Do 1 oung fired tho first shot,

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.

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.

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.

CORRESPONDENCE,
K. 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. LAiior.KK.

How Whisky Pays. An exchange
says: Several yours ago wo bad a
man in our employ who several times
a day ran out of the ofllco to buy a
drink of whisky. 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.
The other fellow is a bummer, hunt
ing for food.
It is sometimes alleged that mil
lionaires are seldom patriotic. Thii
is not the case with Vandcrbilt. Ho

him f3,-150 for that day'i interest on
registered bonds, and on the follow
ing noon owes him $1,725 moro, which
along toward sunset grows to $3,450
again. While he is playing a came
of billiards his government bonds earn
him about $250. They arc remarka
bly industrious and work night and
day. Everybody should have them.
