DANGEROUS ExPERnlENT.-We see by
the Portland Adrccatr, that Mr. Adaps, Of
the Argus, came very near being poisoned
under very peculiar circumstances. He
had taken strychnine and introduced it in-
to some fruit in his orchard, for the pur-
pose of killing birds, which were very nu-
merous. The poison was disseminated
throughout the orchard by the birds beaks,
which being eaten, came very near proving
fatal as above.

it was not put inte execution. But, we
ask, is this not more TO be attributed TO
the presence Of Capt. PIcxErr than TO any
sense Of justice which could have actuated
the officials named, in their failure to en-
force it? We believe, as we know all do,
that it is. Then let US extend to General
HARNEY that hearty support which this pa
triotic move deserves, and hope he may be
as fully sustained by his superiors at the
Capitol.
In defence of our right to the Islands in
dispute, we shall publish, next week, the
speech Of the Hon. THOMAS II. Benton, de-
livered in secret session, before the Senate
Of the United States. June 18th, 1916, for
which we ask a careful perusal To Gov
Douglas it will especially commend ITSELF
And here, unless another state paper"
from the Governor should demand it, we
dismiss the subject.

NorFIED.-We are informed by Mr..
RANDALL, the gentleman filling the Office
Of Register during the temper ary absence

agent of the Hudson's Bay Company, and
the occupant Of that company's farm on
the island Of San Juan, has notified that
Office of his right to q preemption SIN

begging at the wrong door" What
hold Johnny Bulls land by deed from
Uncle Sam? Isn't your tile good, or is
your cupidiIy so great that you wish tc
make "sure doubly certain?" But Mr.
GRIFFIN should remember that, before be
can derive the benefit which some of our
laws impart, he will also have to comply
with the requirements of some others. 1t
will be necessary TO abjure allegiance from
the Queen Of Great Britain, the "Hudson
Bay Company and other foreign princes
or potentates. Whenever this has been
done, we shall cordially greet him, for we
have ever heard him spoken of as q gen
tleman of the first order. The farm on
which he resides is valuable and highly
desirable. We hope it may be his.

EDlToHAL.-Mr. A. @. RUSSELL. is an
nounced as the future editor of the Oregon
Times. Mr. AUSTIN, its publisher, says he
"enjoys fair reputation as journalist, ("
and will maintain, he thinks the character
of that paper as democratic journal
Mr.. JAMES O'MEARA, formerly of the
Portland Standard, and Mr.. FREANoR, Of
the Crescent City Herald, have become as
sociated as the future editors and publishers
Of the Jacksonville SENTINEL. We hope
the democratic clarion notes of the Sentinel
may resound far and near Mr.. O'MEARA
did once publish good newspaper, and we
think he can do so again. Financially, we
hope it may more readily approach tie
Standard" of his expectations than the
one in which he had heretofore embarked.
Gentlemen, one and all, "permit Us to
renew to you the assurances Of our regard
and esteea." May you meet with immense
success.

ELEcuoNs-The result of the California
election, so far as heard from, indicates vic
tory as perched upon the banners Of the
Administration ticket. Latham is elected
Governor by heavy majority over all Op-
position, the vote being-for Latham, 81, :
2s6; Curry, (Anti-Lecompton) l2,lll;
and Stanford, (rep) 1884.
For Congress the vote is remarkably
close. Burch, dem has 1852 votes;
and Scott, (dem.), McKibbSn, (anti-Le-
compton, and Baker, (rep each 1885.
The opposition democrats and republicans
united upon Baker and McKibben. and
hence the closeness Of the contest. There
is not the least doubt, however, that the
counties yet to hear from will decide the
day favorable for the administration de-
mocracy.
Gov. Harris is reelected in Tennessee by
over 5000 majority. Both branches of the
Legislature democratic. The delegation jim
next Congress stands-demo9 -. 8; oppo-
sition I.
Iu North Carolina the delegation is
equally divided democrats and oppo-
sition The south has not done as hand
somely as we had expected
The elections yet to be held previous to
the meeting of Congress, are: Georgia and
Mississippi on the Sd of October, and
Maryland on the I'd November. We hope
to bear more favorable political news from
that quarter.

ARRIVAL OF The NORTHERNER.

The steamship Northerner arrived at
Browns wharf on Sunday night at IL
o'clock, 10 days from San Francisco. She
got aground in willamette river, and was
detained three days.
Wells, Fargo & Co, and Freeman & Co.
furnished us with papers from California to
the 18th inst, from New York to the goth,
and from New Orleans to the 9th August.
From the papers received we CLEAN the
following news:
Information has just transpired in Wash
ington which leaves little, if any, doubt
that Mr.. McLane, our Minister to Mexico,
has concluded q treaty with the Constitu.
tional Government Of Mexico, aud that II
was to be forwarded to Washington early
in September. The treaty has reference
mainly to the right Of transit over Mexi-
can territory, and certain privileges in re.
gard TO exemption from custom-house du-
ties, for which our Government will grant
equal privileges.
The President has appointed William II.
Rogers, Of Utah, to DO Indian Agent in
that Territory, rice II. b. Jarvis, resigned.
The Administration is arranging meas
sures for the more efficient prohibition Of
the foreign slave trade. The squadron on
the coast of Africa is to be largely increas-
ed, and TO consist of the United States
war-steamers Mystic, Sumpter, San JaantO,
and IuohecdH-also, the sloop-of-war Con-
steiiatiOn, as the flagship of the squadron,
with the sloops-of-war Portsmouth, Marion
and Nineennss. These vessels have been
assigned to this duty because Of their light
draught, which enables them to go farther
up the country and nearer the coast.
Although the joint treaty with England
requires us to keep but eighty guns on the
coast Of Africa, the Administration propo-
ses to increase the number Of guns to one
hundred and sixteen.
In addition to this increase on the Afri.
can coast the United States war-steamers
CRUSADER, MOhatok, WyandOH and FSLOa,
are to cruise in the neighborhood of Cuba,
for the purpose Of capturing such slaVers
as may escape the vigilance of the African
squadron.
The first choice of the Georgia delega-
tion at the Charleston convention, it is said,
will be for Alexander II. Stephens.
There is sharp contest in Indiana for
the Democratic nomination for Governor,
between Commissioner Hendricks, Senator
Bright and Cyrus L. Durham (DouglaS).
The extensive machine, blacksmith and
saving shops of the Capitol Extension
Works, at Washington, were destroyed BY
fire on the 9th of August. The loss is es-
timated at $4,000. No insurance upon
any portion.
The New York Herald of Aug. 16 pub
fishes list, in detail, of all the messages
sent over the Atlantic Cable during the
four weeks it vas in working order. The
list fills sever columns, which that journal
foots up as follows: -Four hundred mes
sages, forty-three hundred and ffty-nine
words, twenty-tbree thousand two hundred
and twenty-one letters.
Business throughout the West yet re-
mains dull. There is but little movement
in grain as yet, lowering prices dsincline
the farmers to send their produce to mar

Das- On the outside Of this weeks issue
we publish full particulars of the hostile
meeting between the Hon. DAVID c. BEoD.
EmcK and Judge D. S TERRY, whereby one
man is hurled into eternity, and the mur-
derer-Cain-like-is compelled to flee from
the wrath Of the law. What murderer,
however brutal, should be permitted to be
tried by Judge Terry, fully the equal of the
most atrocious murderer. 1t is true the
deceased was killed in the most genied and
scientific manner-in q manner appro, ed
by all gentlemen, who have reduced the art
of killing to science, and can take the
life of fellow being without the least com
junction of conscience. Terry was said to
be dead shot. California has now reached
the acme of infamy-the cheifjustice of the
Supreme Court murderer

From THE PLAINs.-Mr. JAMES PARKER,
who has been expressman for the United
States military from Walla Walla to Salt
Lake, for the last four days, arrived at
Olympia on Monday last. He is twenty
eight days from the Salt Lake ria the
Walla Walla and Nachess pass of the Cas-
cade Mountains. Mr.. PARKER passed on
the route, west of Salt Lake City, some
five thousand immigrant wagons, Of which
at least one-third were destined for Oregon
and Washington Territory There was
much enquiry by the emigrants as to the
prospect for settlement on Puget Sound
He informs us that, either through ignor-
ance or Interior motives, all information
with regard TO this section of country
seemed to be studiously withheld, and that
great exertions were being used to induce
their settlement on the Walla Walla or
other vallies, or else detan them at the
Dalles or its vicinity.
Mr.. PARKER met DR.. MAYNARD east Of
the Cascades, on his way to the Wala
Walla, to inform the large number OF peo-
pie now there, Of the road that is now be-
ing made over the Snoqualmie pass of the
Cascades from Seattle.
Mr.. P. represents the valley of the Wal
Ia Walla as full of emigrants, having good
American cattle and horses, and plenty Of
them. lie estimates at least eight hun,
dred emigrants as settled in that valley
about twenty families as having taken
claims on the Yakima, thirty in the Click
atnt, and all through the country, from the
Dalles to the Simcoe reserve. At least two
hundred and fifty wagons had arrived east
of the Cascades, in Washington Territory.
Some three hundred wagons we're at the
Grand Ronde, some of the emigrants being
in starving condition. Col. WMGHr COM
mandng at Fort Walla Walla, had very
timely and generously come to their assist
ance, and sent forward two hundred and
6fly sacks of flour, fifty barrels of pork,
and other necessaries. This, again, is an-
other instance in which the sufferers not
only owe debt of everlasting gratitude to
the military, but perhaps their lives.
Mr.. P. gives it as his opinion that nearly
all the outrages and depredations commit.
ted upon emigrants and military by the In.
dians, within the last three or four years,
have been through the instigation of the
Mormons, and that whilst they continue to
exercise their present influence over them,
they will ever continue TO be troublesome
to our people. Mr. p. himself did not feel
secure from them, although personally ac-
quainted with many tribes inhabiting the
line Of his travel, and for safety to himself
did most of his riding after night.
Mr.. PARKER is here for the purpose Of
locating claim for himself and number
of relatives and friends in Oregon. We
hardly think he will find much difficulty in
suiting himself

WISDY-Since Wednesday morning last,
the wind has almost blown a perfect gale,
and the rain has been incessant. The
steamer Julia is hardly adapted for the
Sound. We are suspicious of her.
, 1859-09-30

BSE- No news from the North this week.
The Julia is behind her usual time, owing,
no doubt, to the stormy weather during the
last few days.
