GOVERNOR Will Not Call Special Session Oflhe Legislature Soon if Ho Calls It At All. Governor Lord was asked whether he Intended to appoint a senator, and, if so, whether he thought hlsappointce would be seated. He said: "I shall appoint a senator, bub whether or not he will bo seated I can not say. The decisions arc conflicting, and the result will depend somewhat on the temper of the senute. Legisla tive decisions do not carry the weight and binding force of Judicial decis ions; they are sometimes partisan, and the doctrine of btato decision has but little application to them. There is no case that has been decided by the senate that is parallel with the Oregon case. It is only by some sort of specious analogy that the facts in the Oregon case can be brought within the principle recently declared by the senate. "I understood that the latest ruling of the senate Is to the effect that, where the legislature falls to elect a senator during its session, the power of the governor to appoint is denied. But this power to appoint a senator stands on a different footing where there is no session of the legislature, through inability of its members to organize and become a legislative body, in consequence of which a senator cannot be elected. In such case, the conditions never have existed in which a legislature could exercise Its power to elect a senator. "To my mind, a vucancy In the sen ate caused by reason of a falluro of a legislature to organize and become a competent body to elect a renator is a very different matter from the failure of a duly organized body to choose a senator. In the first case there is no legislature to exercise the power of electlou to illl the vacancy, and the failure to do so must be always due to the dereliction of Its members" "Do you think that, you will call a special session of the leglslatiirc.and, If so, can you indicate about the time?" I do not know at what time or if at any time I shall convene a special ses sion of the legislature. The fact that 1 will appoint a senator In dicates that I have no present Inten tion of calling the legislature together, at least for some time. Re cent occurrence Indicates to many cross-purposes to hepe for co-operation among the members to secure needed legislation. "I suppose that there will be some effort made to induce me to call a bDocIal session, arising probably as much out of political consideration as a desire to furnish needed relief to the state, but you know letters and signatures to petitions are quite easily obtained, and are by no means Indic ative of the trend of public thought. I understand the needs of the state and its condition, and I regret the failure of the legislature to organize and furnish the people the relief promised and needed. But this is a condition of things for which I am not responsible, nor would it Justify me in incurring the expense of con vening the legislature without being convinced that beneficial results would secure to the state. "When you look at the extent and purpose of some of the appropriations Of recent legislatures, the state might be a gainer In fact, Jt might be a blessing In disguise if we shall have no session of the legislature for the next two years. When one considers j the assurance of remedial legislation relief from the burdens of unnecessary taxation that were freely given to the people, and then looks at the legisla tive halls, strewn witli unredeemed pledges, what security have I, If I were to call a special session, that needed legislation would be enacted ? "The convening of a special session is usually avoided, Jf possible; for It seldom proves a profitable business to the state. I think we may Had some compensation for our present condi tion, if its effects shall be to impress the people with the necessity of higher standards of political duty and better political methods."

SENATOR H, W, Corbett Is Appointed, Represented Oregon in Congress From 1867 to 1873, Following sketch of lion. Henry W. Corbett Is from the pen of Secretary of State Kincald, aud found in his offi cial report recently published: Henry W. Corbett, bf Portland, was born in Westboro, Massachusetts, February 18, 1827. In 1850 he came to Oregon by way of Panama. He lo cated at Portland and engaged in merchandising, a business with which he has been very successfully con nected up to the present tlnie. From 1800 to 1861 ho took a very prominent and active part as chairumn of the state central committee in organizing and promoting the success of dio Republican-union party in Oregon. At a state convention held at Eugene he proposed and secured the appointment of John H. Mitchell, who afterwards defeated him for re-election to the United States sonate. as chairman of the Republican committee. In 1605 he secured the contract to, carry the United States mails bottyeen Sacra mento, California, and Portland Oregon, and carried on a daily stage line until ho was elec ted United States senator, when he threw up the contract. In I860 there was a prolonged contest in the Oregon legislative assembly over the election of United States senator. Governor Addison 0. Glbbs was the Republican caucus nominee over John II. Mitchell, who had almost as many votes in the caucus as Glbbs. The Republicans hid but a small majority on joint ballot, and Dr. J. R. Bayley, John White, and perhaps one or two TUGDinf Mitchell's supporters bolted the caucus u refused to support '.Glbbs, which made u. election impossible. ,"" ., t The matter was finally settled by the election of Henry W. Corbett as a compromise candidate. In 1869 Mr. CQrbett Joined with Hnry Faifing in' purchasing the First National Bank of Portland, which has become a great-financial institution, the lead leading bank of Oregon and ona of the greatest on the Pacific coast. In the senate Mr. Corbett was a member of the committe'e on finance, and with John Sherman and others tqok a prominent part in establishing our financial system and in laying the foundation for specie payments. In 1872, after a very long and exciting contest, extending through nearly the entire session of the legislature, Senator Corbett was beaten for re-election by John n. Mitchell. Since retiring from the senate Mr. Corbett lias applied nis en ergies to his numerous business In terests and to the upbulldingof Port land and Oregon. lie Is very wealthy and has long been recognized as the most liberal giver, in Oregon, to all worthy charities, to promote the interests of .the political party whose success he believes to be for the best interests of the coun try, and to carry on all useful enterprises. He is usually a delegate in county and state conventions, and was the member of the Republican national committee for Oregon from 1808 to 1872, and attended the Ropubll natlonal convention In Philadelphia in 1872 as a delegate from Ortgon. Henry W. Corbett ha been a promi nent and influential character in Ore gon for nearly forty years, and Is now one of the most useful and highly honored pioneers in the slate. THE APPOINTMENT MADE. Portland, March 6. Governor Lord today appointed Ex-Senator II. W. Corbett United States senator to fill the vacancy caused by failure of legislature to elect.

The Statesman says it's the only Sa lem paper that receives dispatches. Then why didn't it have the inaugur ation nows until the day after The Journal? The Journal presented McKlnley's inaugural the day it was delivered, and presented his message In full to Its readers. The Statesman has never even printed McKlnley's in augural.tbo most Important news that has become public since theNovomber election. If it were the ouly paper that receives dispatches it ought to be ashamed to say so, considering that it does not give them to tho pubMc. Johnson Should Be Ktectod. Justice H. A. Johnson has been a member of the Salem Board of Edu cation one term. He has been eco nomical, faithful, honest, fearless, and courageous in the performance of his duties over a very trying period of '.Trd times, and by close figuring Sa lem dirfls have been run right along. Improvements, have, been made, tho children haveWs accommodated, aud -yet the school tAxck liteVC-aatiec increased. These are the plain und simple reasons why Mr. Johnson should be continued as director. For India.

This action of tho county will lead to extended litigation. NOTICE TO STATE TRBA9URER, Following Is. a copy ota letter drawn upon oraer oi mecmiri. uy ueurjtei. Blneham, and forwarded to Stato TreasurttvXefcsefciin this date. "I am instructed by tho county court cf Marion county to say to you In answer Co your loiter of Feb. 27, 1897, that Marion county Is not in debted to the state of Oregon in tho sum of (830 or any part thercof.or any amount on account of current expense tax 1830, or in the sum of $540.02 or any sum whatever oa account of in terest state tax for 1805, and' that Marlon county will owe the state of Oregon 131,076.05 on account current tax of 1896 which amount will be paid as soon as the tax Is collected. Your charge of 934,342.22 for 1890 tax Is er roneous. The correct amount Is as above given $3t,07o05." The above is specifically drawn up as an answer and will precipitate liti gation with the state. THE MINTO ITK et 8549.02 came Into existence by Treasurer Ml nto making remittances Saturday which wero not credited until Monday, interest being charged in the meantime. Able lawyers hold that If the state treasurer had pre sented the checks to Minto to bo cashed Monday the charge for inter est in the interim might hold good, but as tho checks were accepted Sat urday the interest should have stopped. THE MAIN ITEM that will cause litigation Is a differ ence of 82,400.17 on taxes of 1800 causeirty refusaT br"tlie '33anori county authorities to add the raise of thirty per cent on certain property made by tho stato board of equaliza tion. As tho courts have so far up held tho work of the stato tax board, Marlon county will have to pay in the end. TnE DISTRICT ATTORNEY. is ordinarily tho official who looks af ter such matters for the county, and tho law allows him 825 for each case. But in this case tho county Judge In forms u reporter that the court has employed Mr. Blnghum to -usslst, at the request of District Attorney Hayden, although no record or order is made on the county court Journal of his being employed. Mr. Hayden denied having been consulted. Mr. Bingham makes a speciality of county tax cases, but his auditing his own bill of about $1500 in the Oregon Pacific tax case ought to warn tho Marlon county court not to enter upon such Important legislation without at least a memorandum of an agreement as to fees. Judging from the experience this county has had, this Is one of these fast-and-looso arrangements where the county will gain nothing and the taxpayers will have a big bill to pay. If it Is not, The Journal- will be glad so stand corrected, but there seems to-be no way to stop these raids In the name of protecting the county against loss but to call attention to them. The.State has no claim for the item of 8830 or 1880 taxes. If the state has a claim against this county dn any Item let the state press Its claim In the courts and let the district at torney defend the county when such defence becomes necessary. That would seem to be u more rational procedure In place of beginning com plicated lltlgutlon In advance. Chief Justice of &imo. Washington, March 0. William L.

In tho most incendiary language tho people go so far as to demand or tho United States at the canon's mouth, f necessary, tho return of all the territory takqn from Mexico. They specify California, Colorado,Ne vada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas as property stolen from this country. So strong is the sentiment agaiust Americans that ladles are openly In sulted on tho streets and In stores, and if their escorts resent the offense, they aro dragged to Jail and fined.
