Last Thursday an engagement oc
curred in tho Blanco Hotel between
Col. Lane and J. A. Yoakum, tho par
ticulars of which, so far as wo havo
boon ablo to gather them, aro as fol
lows :
It appoars that J. A. Yonkatn, of
Coos rlvor, who Is a conscientious
Democrat, and one of tho many who
do not think Lano a proper person to
fill tho ofllceof HborifVof this county,
had stated some facts that wcro not
calculated to Improve Lotto's chances
of success, Ho had. wo understand,
stated that Luno had expressed a do
sire to bo excused from associating
with tho workTiiginon at Sumner. Ho
had also culled attention to somo
grossly unequal assessments that
havo been made by Lano, as Assessor.
Lano called Yoakam Into tho hotel
and asked what lies ho had been
telling about him. Yoakam told him
ho had told no lies but had told tho
truth, which ho could provo. Lano
again accused Yoakam of lying, and
Yoakam relumed the compliment in
Iho strongest terms known to the En
glish language. At this stage of tho
game Lane struck at Yoakam with
his cane and Yoakam caught tho blow
on his arm, and the cano was broken.
Lano took hold of his pistol but could
not get it out, and Yoakam was com
mencing to administer corporal pun
ishment upou the Colonel with great
vigor, when Matshal Khodes interfer
ed and put a stop to tho fight. It is
possible that if Rhodes bad not been
present there would not havo been
enough loft of Lane in a few minutes
to bo voted for.

It appears that when Mr. Upton
at rived at Port Orford on his way
to Kllonsburg with his printing out

Tho news wns recoived publicly horo
last night, mid tho flags wcro ratFcd
and anvils fired till nearly dark.
Perhaps you don't think Port Orfotd
is coming out. Thero is a print"
ing press being sot up in our wood
shed, next week the first paper 'will
bo published in Port Orford, called
tho Port Orford Post. Tho man,
his family and press arived in town
last night, on his way to Hoguo river
to publish n paper at that place, but
tho news of tho breakwater located
him here. I think thoy arc a very

taking htops to compel tho Coos

owners of tho Coos Bay Wagon Road

calls for. T am further in favor of

I wish to say that if I am elected

he uses notbingbtit mud, which daubs
only his own filthy paws, wo havo

that on tho sanio day the Mail is is

The worn out saws with which ho

Within less tliail a inilo of Marsh
field thoro exists in a squalid hut a
ercaturo still showing marks of ono
timo having tho semblance of a hu
man bolng. With n solo purposo in
view, and institratcd by all the cardi
nal qualities which naturo bountifully
bestowed, rcquistto for such a charac
ter, his life-long efforts havo been to
attain tho lowest dopths of degrada
tion. It was a boy-day in his oxlst

junk of bacon, n snek of flour and a
demi-john of whiskey and located on
iv " sheen-ranch." whcrCbv hedofraud-
ed tho Government out of Ti quarter
section of coal land for $1 25 por acre.
To cousummato his purposo ho has
boon guilty of performing manual la
bor, and after grudgingly squander
ing as litllo of his earning as possiblo,
for bread, tho princlplo portion ho
economically invested in gin, always
taking a long horn for a short bit, and
nover missing an opportunity to "ring
in." Hois tho "early bird that goes
forth in quest of "tho worm" of tho

ho is forced to intervals of compara
tive sobriety, he brings out bis ma-
chino and grinds off a string of
Spatks," which tho Xewt with less

Tosco this "Miner," fatigued by a

bloated flaco, utilizing bis shiny
mouth for an incubator, is a sublime
spectacle. We notice the thing not
from malice, but to show the character
of this champion of honor and purity.
We have no spite against 'Miner"
and do not wish to say anything to
provoko his iro. Ho has the advan
tage of us. Wo aro big, and awkward,
havo held office, and were not educat

The small-soulcd politician, who,
over tho signature of'IXPect," in
tho last issue of tho Newt foolishly in
sinuates that the Mail "condemns"
tho Coqnillo rogiou by "innuendo," or
isopposod to thoappropiiiitiou for tho
improvement of that harbor, dues
himself and us an injustice. Thero
has never a syllable appeared in tho
columns of tho Mail that was nnv-
thing else than favorable to that im
provement, and wo havo always givon
tho proposed work our earnest sup
port, as all our readers will admit.
There is no business in Coos county
that would bo moro favorably affected
by tho dovolopmont of tho Coqnillo
country than ours, and wo aro highly
pleased to sco that thero is a prospect
of $10,000 being appropriated to com
nionco work at tho mouth of tho river.
Hut wo do not think it was at all nec
essary for Whiteakor to stop tho woik
on Coos Bay, which is already in pro
gress, in order to get that pitiful sum
for tho Coqnillo; ho could havo secur
ed both. Nothing but his negligence
or inofllciouoy could havo caused Con
gress to noglect to make an appropri
ation to carry on tho work already
commonccd, and wbioh boing suspen
ded may sudor great damage.

In tho last issuo of Iho News Rev.
Mr. Yeoman's, who hft.bocn accused
of making impr&por advances to a
married lady in this place, comes out
in a letter admitting tho acts to bo
substantially as havo been , alleged,
but pleading infatuation aj bin excuso.
Ho sums up his defense in tho follow
ing language :
To tho chargo of improper advances
and proposals, tho accused pleads not
guilty to that of gross indiscretion,
per statement ho knows, and pleads
tliathe is guilty. With this be rests
bis cause, fcclintr in the chambers of
his soul that God's verdict is a verdict
of guilty upon confession rendered
and yot a verdict subjoined with par
don. Ho says ho is not guilty of "improp
er advancos," yet admits that he, a
married man, proposed marriago to
another man's wife, and wnrmly press
ed bis suit. Wo know not where he
acquired his ideas of propriety; for
iiiany civilized community such a
proposition is an insult and Its accept
ance a crimo.
Ho avows his purposo to contimio
in the ministry, and speaks of tho
suggestions of tho Mail a being
"premature." Perhaps those sugges
tions wcro premature; but upon ma
ture reflection, and after giving full
force to all arguments that can bo ad
vanced in his defense, wo are moro
firmly convinced that they were cor
rect. Should ho go to somo other
part of tho country where his "indis
cretions" aro not known, ho might
still bo useful in the ministry, but to
remain hero and insist upon discharg
ing the duties of that sucrcd oflleo
would bo doing himself an injustice,
and humiliating this people and do
ing the causo to which ho claims to bo
an advocato an almost irrcpairablo
injury.
A correspondent of tho Springfield
llcpublican says : Money is a matter
of no moment at all to me fcince I
went to the bond vault in the treas
ury building and held in my baud
.$1,800,000, I was informed that the
room contained fourteen hundred
millions, and that the wholo would
make boven hundred cart-loads of gold
coin. I walked out meekly, feeling
that money was mi incumbrance and
a clog, but camo to when I soon after
disbursed two one-dollar bills and be
came in feeling at least a mendi
cant upon tho spot. Tho gold-vault
which I had the privilege of going in
to soon after and it is a privilege sel
dom granted took mo into tho Ara
bian Nights at once. I felt liko Ali
Daba, and looked round to find Cas-
fiini's quartered body. I found $3000
in gold extremely heavy and ,$1000 in
silver not fo bo gotten ofT tho floor,
and although a frco-boru American
citizen and gold lay heaped on all
sides, thoy positively let mo go with

Thn federal census to bo taken next
mouth, it is thought, will show a total
population of -17,000,000, an increase
of about soven and one-half millions
over that of 1S70. The coming cen
sus will doubtless show marked
changes in tho drift of emigration and
in tho ccntor of population. Tho
"star of empire" will bo found to have
moved westward in a surprising man

Tho ratio of representation under
tho last census was 131,000. If it
should be found that tho total popula
tion has increased to -10,000,000, the
ratio will bo advanced to 157,000. Un

making a manly declaration of-wlmt
ho proposes to do with regard to
compelling tho owners of tho Coos
Ray Road land to sell tho same to tho
settlors as by law required. It is
truo that ono of tho condition of the
original grant of this land to tho
Slate, was ''iat the sanio should bo
sold to actual settlers at a prico not
exceeding $2 20 por acre. This is a
plain practical proposition, and as
tho land was turned ovor to to this
company by act of tho Legislature,
on tho terms of the original grant,
it is probably within tho power of
the Legislature to compel tho own
ers under that law to comply witli
it or declare a forfeiture of thu grant.
There is no clnp-trap about this
movement. Mr. ifaynoa is interest
ed in having a good road there, and
every voter who desires to see somo
action taken on this subject should

thinks thofo lands should be sold

title thereto, should support Mr.

spectacle of a team of spirited horses
attached to a buggy, dashing madly
down tho street, perfectly ur.con

wcro returning. While coming

horses, belonging to Goddard's liv

frighted and started on a keen run
down Jefferson street until reaching
Fourth, whon turning the corner,
Mr. Carson and his. sister were pre
cipitated to tho ground and both
sustained severe injuries. Mr. Car
son was picked up unconscious.
Miss Carson was badly cut about
the head, but though severely, is
not dangerously hurt. Tho injuries
of Mr. Careon, arc more severe.
Both wcro removed to tho residence
of J. C. Carson, corner of Third and

summoned to attend them. After
the occupants of the buggy had been
throw out, the team continued its
headlong career, colliding with a
lamp post at the corner of Fourth
and Yamhill streets and demolish
ing it, and were finally brought to a
standstill by running on the side
walk of Thompson, Dc.Hart & Co.,
corner of Yamhill and First streets,
where both horses fell and were se
cured. Tho buggy escaped with
nothing more than a sprung axle,
but both the horses were badly cut
about the legs, caused by their fall
on a lot of iron. At a late hour last

both resting easily, and it is hoped

aels, where taking in as much coal as
she can carry, she will sail out into
tho Arctic ocean, coasting along tho
northern shore of Alaska, frequently
landing to mako inquires of the Es
quimaux, for tidings of tho whalers
who may have sought rcfugo there.
Captain Hooper will then, as the
ice disappears and circumstauces per
mit, sail northwestward, and go as far
as possiblo along tho coast of Wrangel
Land, and when bo is stopped by ice,
will uso dog sledges, which he will
procure at St. Michaels. Captain .
B. Hall will accompany the expedi"
tion as ice pilot, as be is an old whaler
who has been as far north as latitude
74 degreos, and is familiar with the
language spoken by tho natives, with
whom it will be necessary to commu
nicate Tho distance from San Fran
cisco to Ounalaska is 2,100 miles, and
St, Michaels is 700 miles from there,
or 180 miles from Fast Cape. Capt.
Hooper feols enthusiastic in regard to
bis voyage, and bis officers havo been
selected for their poculiar fitness for
such service. The roster is as follows
Captian C. L. Hooper; First Lieuten
ant, John Brann; Second Liouten
ant, W. II. Hand ; Navigating Officer
and Third Lieutenant, O. D. Myrick;
Chief Engineer, James T. Waysou;
First Assistant, C. A. Lewis , Second
Assistant, Mr. Owens. There are also
a sergcon and crew of Unity picked
men. Tho crew have been selected,
and only await orders to sail out of
tho Golden Gate. "If tho ico is not out
of Bebring's straits when tho Cortrisi
arrives there, sho will bo on hand to
go through as soon as the ico moves.
Her yago will probably occupy
about four months, and will be fraught
with much interest, not only to those
who havo frionds on tho ico, but to
our ontiro peoplo.
At a meeting of tho Houso Pacific
Bailroad Couunitteo a letter making
charges of corruption and bribery
against a Paoifio Bailroad Company,
written by J. A. Gorogo, a contractor,
was submitted. Tho letter charged
that $90,000 iu monoy and $10,000
worth of land grant bonds were paid
to a U. S Senator, and that $1,000,
000 worth of lands wore distributed
among members of tho House. Tho
writer says that ho cm pro.duco evi
dence and furnish witnesses to sus
tain tbeso charges, and asks for in
vestigation. Noaotbm has been ta
kcif in regard to tho letter, tho com
mittco desiring first to ascertain as to
tho responsibility of tho writer and
whether he is not merely engaged in
a stock jobbing almir.

BnarAirnxo of being elected on hi
merit, Mr. Siglin and Ida friends ar
now holding forth tho idea that he
should bo elected because ho is a law
yer, and "can draw up a bill." Thi
is probably tho first timo n candidal
has cvor relied upon so flimsy a clain
for support. Tho best legislators that
our State has or ever has bad, have
been men liko Haynes, who aro hon
est, and know tho wants of their con
stituents, without tho trickery that
sometimes characterizes tho attorney.
It will bo an evil day for tho people?
when they placo tho legislative pow
er solely in tho hands of tho lawyer
becauso they can "draw up a bill."
