LEGISLATION OF CLAIMs.-Tiere is not session
passes over in Congress without days and weeks
being occupied in the legislation of claims Now
we know of nothing more vexatious, not only to
the holders Of these claims but to the public in
general, than the protracted and frequently I'M
Just legislation upon them. If a claim be prefer
red by citizen, or by BODY of citizens for SER
wees done the government, nine times out of ten
there is no difficulty in determining whether said
claim be just not. If the claim be an unfair
one, 1t should be promptly set aside If, on the
other hand, it is proved a just demand upon the
government, 1t should be as promptly discharged.
1t is as much the duty of government to reward
the mertorious as to punish the guilty; else what
incentive is there to meritorious conduct.
There has been heretofore, the part Of our
government, degree of dishonorable stinginess-
in fact, a want of honesty toward claimants-not
beggars for favors, but creditors who have de-
manded their just dues. 1t has been source of
shame to our citizens in the face of the world.
If a government set examples Of dishonesty and
want OF fairness in its dealings with its own SUBJ
1ecis, what can be expected from its citizens in
their dealings with one another We know of
one man who has been prosecuting claim with
Congress for period of thirty years Now how
can such monstrous imbecility exist Either his
claim IS just, or it is not II the former let him
be pad the sum of sixty thousand dollars, which
he claims; If the latter, let him and his claim be
promptly discharged.

they frequently give rise to, caused by a wan, or

Oregon City, I'd December, ls45
We thus perceive the government is actually

around which thousands will soon gather and from
which will be difIused more rapidly, day by day,
the blessings of improvement. In addition to the
5000 already under the government, of the 5000
who have gone on the expedition under Col.
Kearney to Santa Fe, probably one half or more
will settle in Oregon; thousands are on their way
will soon start, for the far west I; and within
year from now, ten or fifteen thousand Americans,
all pioneers of free republic, will be within the

OCEAN STEAM NAvIGATIoN.-On Saturday next
two of the fastest steam ships that ever crossed
the Atlantic, leave our shores for Europe These
are the Cambria from Boston, and the Great Bri-
tain from New York. The Cambria is the fastest
vessel Of the Cunard line, and with the exception
ofthe last trip Of the Great Britain, has perform
shortest time on record
The Great Britain, as our readers already
know, has taken the wind out of the sails of all
the other steam ships, and with her submerged
propeller has managed to outstrip all compet-
ton, every thing considered.
Many persons are disposed to believe that the
recent quick trip of this vessel is owing more to
favorable circumstances than the good working
of her submerged propeller, and are inclined to
doubt whether she will be as successful on her
homeward as she has been on her outward trip.
The doubts on this subject will be solved by the
result of her next trip to England, and " under
stand that bets to large amount are pending on
the time she will make. Some have wagered
that she will beat the Cambria, and pice versa.
For our own part we do not approve of racing,
but we certainly look forward with much interest
to the result, inasmuch as it will establish the
practical advantage Of the two modes of propul-
sion-the side wheels and the screw.

The Tarin.-The Fate OF the New BrI-It,
Defeat.


All eyes are turned to the seat of Government
The result OF the vote on this question is looked
Tor every moment, and every moment it is delay
ed adds to the excitement. We have been in sus-
pense long enough. and shall feel greatly relieved
when the long agony is over.
The present tariff act passed the Senate by one
vote, and the bill now under conside ration will
be disposed of by about the same vote The
question now hangs upon the vote of Mr. Jarna-
GIN, OF Tennessee, and every one asks what course
he will pursue. 1t is the impression that he will
either resign or vote against the new bil but the
probability is that attempt will be made to
postpone the question until the next term, and
that he will vote for the postponement Should
ne not resign, and vote upon the direct question
be taken, the chances would be against the
neV bill, as he is opposed to it in its present
shape.
The idea of compromise has been abandon
ed. The vote will be upon the whole or none
The democratic party have determined to sink or
swim with this question; and if they carry the BILL
1t will be mill stone about their neck 1t is the
pet bill of the session; and the business affairs of
the country will be more affected, for good or for
evil, by it than any other before either House.
The changes the new bill viii produce in our
commercial affairs to be feared more than
any thing else; if it was not for that, very few
would take any interest in the movement. BY
preserving the present bill, all things will go on
smoothly in the channels they now are; while a
repeal of that act and the adoption of another so
much different, will require revolution in all the
old landmarks, and bring into operation new
state of things. We opposed to these changes.
They invariably produce embarrassments and
difficulties; and it is better policy suffer even
defective law 10 remain, than to create revul.
sion in mercantile matters, by establishing, what

So far as we able TO Judge, by the proceed
lngs in the Senate yesterday there is very little
doubt but that the tariff bill, as it came from the
lower House, will be defeated. The votes upon
the several amendments proposed, indicate pretty
clearly that result The democrats appear to be
afraid to come to vote upon the direct question.
Everything, however, is yet in doubt. 1t is posi-

The proceedings in the House yesterday were

From The Nashville Orthopo'itan.
General Zachary Taylor. the Commander Of the Army Of
OccupaiQn

Occupation.
Recent events have thrown this gen.
man SO prominently before the public
that we feel disposed to crafty the
strong desire expressed by many, by
giving some ofthe incidents of his life.
Gen. Taylor entered the Army in
1903, Immediately after the attack on
the Chesapeake, and has been in the
service of his country from that time
10 the present. Having entered the
army as IA Lieutenant Of Infantry, he
had risen to the command of a compa-
ny at the beginning of the last zuar.
For his gallant defence Of Fort Har-
rison on the 5th September, 1912,
President Madison conferred on him
the brevet rank of Major, and that he
is now, the oldest breuet in the army.
In 1892 he became Colonel of the
9th infantry; with this regiment he
went TO Florida in 1886, where he
was always foremost in danger.
On the 25th December, 1886, Col.
Taylor, at the head of detachment
