If the1 County Court is disposed to dis criminate, we kuow of no way to prevent it, but the Register is de termined that the people shall be ao longer hodwinked by the re peated blasts of hot air emanating rom the court or any individual thereof.

Thepetitiou by sixty taxpayers of Iloulton and vicinity was read, and commented upon bv the county Judge, as not being eigaed by any one at Vemonia. Tne petitiou was not circulated there or it would have received ths signature of every taxpayer in that end of tha county. A few of them have found it convenient to trade in Houlton, but the bad roads make it next to impossible for them to get over th mountains, and they are compell ed to drive to Clatskanie where they have a better road even if they do have to pay a little more for their provisions.'
