We have received the address delivered

From it we CLEAN the following statistics

ARREST OF OREGON CoNvIcTs. -
The Tehama Observer of October 18th,
gives the following version of the arrest
OF two Oregon convicts recently escaped
from the Penitentiary:
On Monday last, Sheriff English, of
.Tchama county, arrested two escaped con-
victs from the Oregon State Prison,
named - Daniels and Frank Williams.
Sunday evening, after everybody else had
taken supper, Frank Williams went to
the Star Hotel and ordered meals for two,
saying that his comradc would pay the
bill The waiter prepared supper, and
while Williams sat at the table Charles
ii. Wagner, late Of Portland, Oregon, and
now proprietor Of the Star, came into the
dining room, when Williams, surprised,
called him by name, and Wagner at once
recognized the convict Williams and
Daniels dispatched square meal; had no
money; were going to work in or near
Red Bluff to earn something; entreated
Wagner not to reveal their names and
character; told how they made their es-
cape, Daniels taking the lead and knock
ing down the officer in charge Of the pris-
on, etc. Wagner felt that he could not,
as a good citizsn, suffer such characters to
run at large, to prey upon this communi-
ty, aud therefore lodged information with
the Sheriff, which resulted in their arrest
at noon on Monday. They were taken
by surprise, while sitting in front of Mr.
Paync's saloon, and made no show of re-
sistaDcc while the Sheriff handcuffed
them. They were taken to Jail and pro-
yidcd with dinner.

Division oftIle state.

The proposition to divide the State Of
Oregon has been somewhat discussed Of
late, and the avidity with which the peo-
pie west of the Cascades seize it, il the
best proof that can be offered Of the nc
coptibility Of the scheme to the public
mind and it is also an evidence Of its
wisdom which cannot be controvertcd.-
The proposition is as follows: Give Or
cgon all west of the Cascade mountains
and lying between California and British
Columbia; form new State or Terrific
ry east Of the Cascades, out Of the Terri
tory which would be detached by the
Cascades line from Oregon and Washing
ton and portion of Idaho 1t will take
time to accomplish it, and by the time
the machinery can be set to work, the
people east of the mountains may be ready
and able for State organization. We
are in favor of the division and suggest
to the people that the question is one to
be reasoned about with good feeling aud
common sense, and not one which should
be influenced by politics or sectional pre-
judiccs. The interests Of the two sections
are diverse in many particulars, and re-
quire legislation suitable to their particu.
lar circumstances. 1t il for the best in
tcrcst Of both sections that the question
be met aud disposed Of as becomes men
who desire to promote the interest ofall.
1t is subject Of vast moment, when VIC
think that Sg1t another State will beaded
to the Union aud the delegation in Con
gress from the Pacific coast augmented.
by 1t, also, Oregon is to take those natu-
raj boundaries which she will probably
retain so long as the American Union en-
durcs. In forming States and Territories,
it is too frequently the case that the boun.
darics arc not sufficiently considered in
the relation with the progress ofcyents.
Thus, if it had been said six years ago
that the Columbia Basin would be yield
ling twenty odd millions Of gold and silver
by this time, prophecy would have been
treated with .dcrision even now there
are those who cannot realize the proba
bility that in ten years this interior will
have its fields and pastures occupied; IL
industry upon Il sound and productive
basis its water power utilized; the nav.
igation Of It's rivers improved, and thous
aud Of enterprises Of public aud private
importance going successfully forward
If We take this division scheme in hand
canvass it in the light Of reason, without
prejudice, sectional or political; weigh
we'll the probabilities; adjust the cause
of difference which may arise in our new
condition, we may BY timely foreihou2ht
have the arrangement placed upon a basis
mutually beneficial to all parties in inter
est. Upon the question of boundaries
it is particularly desirable that much re
lcction should be spent; and by Il dis
cussion aud n comparison Of views W.
shall have proper understanding Of th'
matter in its various phases.-[ Mountain

enable that functionary to get to Wash

thus enabling him to sit in the Senate
the present session, three full days. By
this operation Ross draws years salary,
amounting to $4,000, about 81, 800 for
mileage-maklng an aggregate of s., 500
for three days service. If the House
should pass the Senate proposition, adding

LOSING THEIR THUNDER.-One Of the
principal arguments OF the Radicals
against the admission of Southern dele
gates to Congress is that section have not
accepted "the situation" because Of their
denial of rights to the negro. Most of
Of the Southern States have long since tax
en- action on this subject, and given the
lie to the assertion. South Carolina, how
ever, had not come up to the mark, and
her delinquency in this regard furnished
food for boundlcss defamation. But We
perceive that she, too, has acted. The
Tribune of the oath ultimo, contains n
dispatch from Charleston, dated the I'd,
as follows:
"The Legislature adjourned last night.
Among the most important measures
adopted were the following /: An Act de-
claring the rights of persons known as
slaves and as free persons of color This
secures to freedmen the right to make and
enforce contracts, to inherit, purchase,
lease, sell real and personal property, to
make bills, enjoy full and equal benefit
of personal security, personal liberty, and
private property, and of all legal remedies
the same as whites. 1t further provides
for the infiction of the same punishment
for the same offences upon whites and
blacks alike, and repeals all laws inconsis
tent herewith, excepting the law declar.
ing marriages between whites and blacks
illegal aud void"

Maximilian wears white hat, white or
light colored vest, blue or black clothes
and patent leather boots. Everybody
knows how he looks in photograph, al
though few of these dojustice to his intelli-
gent face and tall, handsome figure. His
expression is generally cheerful, and the
whole face beams with good nature and
the instincts Of benevolent heart. The
Empress, whenever | have seen her, was
not remarkable as to dress, looking in that
respect like any women of refined and ell
egant taste; but the face once seen leaves
lasting impression for its blended sweet
ness ofexpression with the hauteur of the
high born lady. At the place halls, be-
fore the death of the King of Belgium,
hea father, Carlotta used to shine resplen-
dent, dressed in the most exquisite taste,
and by far the finest looking woman in an
assemblage of three or four hundred
The Empress is one of the richest Prin-
cesses in Europe, as she is one of the
the highly accomplished. King Leopold
left her some eight millions of dollars
last Winter, and she has other resources
amounting to some millions.

tain deacon who was one Of the best Of

cow was so exceedingly disorderly, as the
deacon was attempting to milk her one
morning, that the old Adam got the bet

feelings in Il volley OF execrations very
undeaconsh in their character. At this

unexpectedly on the scene, and announced

TuE SAD FALL or 4 PUnLIc Mas.
A st. Louis newspaper correspondent
narratcs the following sad story: Coming
down Chcstnu; street, ST. LGuis one day
| was struck by the appearance Of M old
man past sixty. who wore a thrcad.barc
coat, shiny with constant wear aud tear.
and whose hat was bruised AMI secly.-
His head was ben: towards the earth and
his walk was II tottcring -huiiic, the effect
Of whisky and old age lie rcclcd from
one side 6f the iaycincnt to the other.
and at last brought up against lamp
post OH thc corner, when a young looking
loafcr, coming along. salutcd him with.
/" "Iialloa, jim Come aud take n drink +"
The old mans eyes frightened, aud, arm
in-a:m, he sauutcrcl along with his com
panion to the nearest grocgcry. Five
years ago that old man was James Green.
United States Senator from Missouri.
and in the days Of thc Kansas aud Lc-
compton matters he was, next to Stephen
y Douglas, the best debatcr in Congress.
But the war broke out, Mr. Green was
sent to the Rebel Congress, soon lost his
property, his position aud character, aud
now he is poor drunkard, aud earns
barely pittauce Of living as n calaboosc
scavinger.
We find the above floating around in
our exchanges. We are not sure that the
game is worth the ammunition but il
anything Re said Of ex-senator Green, il
might as well be truth as falsehood. Mr..
Green was never sent to the rebel Con
gress. 1t is true, we believe, that he lost
his property; it was "confscated" under
the pure and spotlcss Gin horn) admin
istration Of that immaculate patriot and
saint, Abe Lincoln but Mr.. G. did not
lose his character. 1t may be true that
he is now 'poor drunkard," but VIC
don't believe it. Not two years ago we
personally knew Senator Grccn-saw him
day after day in private life. lie was nj
drunkard then nor was his "head bent
towards the earth;" nor was his "walk q
tottering shuttle" On the contrary, he
had both the will and physical ability tc
kick all such liars as the writer of the
above into decent sense of the proprie
ties which usually obtain amongst gentle
men.

A DESPERATE SPREAD.-One day
last week, Humason, u member of the
lower House from Wasco county, pro-
tended to find fault with the manner in
which the State Printer executed the bill
printing for the House. Ilumason is n
printer, and his remarks were made for
political buncombc. lie was and is well
aware that the printing was executed III
tho best style. That prominent young
member oftho "Jones Family" from Linn,
G.. Il. Helm, arose in his usual tragico-
comieo manner, when Humason had con-
cluded his remarks, and exploded one OF
his speeches" He frothed and tore up
the ground like young bovine, and closed
by offering resolution directing the com
mittec on printing to examine into the
matter and report to the House. The
House adopted the resolution for the pur-
pose of shutting off the wind of the
''swcll" who offered it, aud the committee
manifested their good sense, and their
contempt for its author, by paying no at-
tention to the matter afterwards. Mr.
Helm had better confnc himself to his

We are practical printer, also; and
we agree with Mr.. Uumason that the
printing to which he referred on the occa
sion above alluded to was swindlc.--
When we were in Salem we called the
attention of several members to this very
swindlc that was being perpetrated in the
public printing Of the public printer. l
is as plain to a printer that it is a swindl'
as the proboscis on the public printer
face yet he virtually asserts that Iluma
sons charges are false aud he gloat
over the fact that the committee to whom
the matter was referred, paid no attention
to the matter afterwards-thus really Gu
dorsing the swindlc. This, however, i
nothing to excite astonishment. Tn,
leaders of the Radical party, all over tn
Union, have been swindling the publ
ever since they came into power. The.
have absolutely fattcned by plundcrinl
and swindIing. With them swiudling i

The filings of the Uuionist at Hon. G
Il. Helm, of this county, fall harmless n
his feet. His constituents endorse hi
bold and manly conduct while in the Leg
islaturc, aud they regard him as an abl
+. defender and champion of their princi

THE CIRCUIT COURT


For Linn county has been in session
during the week; aud several cases of
considerable interest have come up for
adjudication. We have dropped in occa-
sionally to witness the proceedings; and
we proceed to give our impressions aud
conclusions.
With Judge Boise we have no personal
acquaintance as yet-we trust we will
have some day-but we have formed an
opinion of him, nevertheless. We sup
pose him to be 40 or 45 years old. His
manners aud general appearance are not
very prcpossessing. He seems inclined
to be indoleut; and he is wanting in judi
oial dignity. He has fashion of gaping
occasionally-really hearty gapes-and
making the beholder feel sleepy and like
going to bed. Another habit he has is
that of thrusting the end of the handle
of his gavel into his mouth-also the
gavel proper between his front molars-
seemingly for the purpose of ascertaining
how large his mouth is, aud how great an
object it is capable ofencOmpassing. Yet,
Notwithstanding these uncouth habits,
and his somewhat outrc and slouchy ap
pearance, there is behind all good deal
of latent energy and decision Of charac-
ter easily discernible by close observer
and when he gives decision it is gcner-
ally right, and couched in clear and terse
language. In politics he is Radical
but the Democratic doctrines he held and
taught few years ago will crop out Occa-
sionally in spite of his radicalisms-per-
meating them as subtle essence every
thing with which it comes in contact If
the fates have decreed that we must have
a Radical Judge, We had as soon-in fact
we had rather-have him than any other
the Radical ranks can produce. Somuch
for Judge Boise. Our opinion of him
may change on further acquaintance.
1t seems, from the practice in this
court, that parties to civil suits-the
plaintiff and defendant-can, if they
wish, become witnesses themselves pend
ing the trial of their own cases This is
something to which We are unused Of
course it seems odd to US, but We are not
prepared to condemn it. 1t undoubtedly
has some advantages over the old way
such as placing all the facts, relevant and
otherwise, before the court and jury.
Another thing which We noticed is the
wide range witnesses are permitted to take
in giving their testimony. Many of the
ordinary Rules Of Evidence, as laid down
in the books, are totally ignored. We
heard one witness testify in his own case,
and he gave full history of his doings,
and that of some others, for some years
past; he gave evidence that was relevant
and Irrelevant, and much that was merely
cumulative he detailed hearsay evidence
telling what Tom, Dick and Harry said and
what they did, and sometimes what he
supposed some Of them thought; and
sometimes arguing his own case paren-
thetically. We don't blame him at all;
indeed We are not prepared to blame any
body We only say it seemed odd to US
that no objection was made by judge, or
jury, or attorney, and that he was per
mitted to say his say entirely unmolestcd

THE FIRST TELEGRAM MESSAGE
The first public message ever sent by e.
leetric telegraph, says an exchange, went
from Baltimore to Washington, dated
June IA, 1864, addressed to Silas Wright,
of New York, announcing the nom1na-
tion by the Democratic Convention then
in session in the former city, of Mr.. Polk
for President. A member of Congress
was defeated in Indiana for re- e-election in
consequence of his vote sustaining an
appropriation of $4,000 to aid them in
the enterprise, on the ground that "a man
who could be made to believe in such a
humbug was to big a fool to go to Con-
gress."

TIE GAME ON THE PLAINs.-Wc no.
tice the following in late number of the
Omaha Republican:
The wild herds of deer, elk, buffalo and
other forest animals have left the plains
of Nebraska and wandered toward the
great regions of loneliness. 1t is seldom
now that we see any wild animal larger
than an antelope or a wolf AS the
march of civilization treads firmly on to-
ward the Pacific the track of the untamed
beast and the footprint Of the blood-stain-
ed barbarian gradually fade away and
leave all to the prowess of the white man
A few months ago thousands upon thou
sands Of buffalo ranged along the Platte
Valley without the least fear Of human
molestation. Frequently emigration go
ing to California and Oregon would find
their road blockaded by mighty herds Of
grazing buffalo, and be obliged to stop
and wait for hours to let the formidable
millions pass leisurely on.
