MoRE or THE INDIAN MURDER
Mr. Sheppard, who arrived down from
Idaho last evening, gives us more par
ticulars of the damnable crime tomit-
ted by the Indians in the shooting of
Alr. Scott and his wife in Rye Valley.
Mrs. Scott died of her wounds on
Thursday or Friday last: she suffered
no pain whatever until about twenty,
minutes before dissolution; then the tor.
ment she cdured cannot be described.
The attending physician examined
the wounds of the dead husband and
found that he had not been shot with
bullets, but with small screws, he hay-
ing extracted two from the person of
Mr. ;. The wounds showed plainly
that there were Indians on both sides
OF the road, the screws having enter
ed the body from two different direo-
tions. The firing was simultaneous
as Mrs. Scott asserted that she heard
but one report. Eight neighboring
men went out after the Indians, but
the noble red men elnded their search.
Fifteen Indians crossed Snake river
the first of last week, near Farewell
Bend, and two men who were chop
ping were driven from their work
a man having in charge the stage
stock near the same section went out
on the range to look after them, and
tho Indians came upon him and drove
him and the horses back to the sta
tion in haste. How long will this last?

Redemption Of u. n. Bonds with
GreembacIks.


The people Of the great. Northwest,
crushed by the weight Of taxation to pay
the interest on exempted bonds, are dis
cussing the propriety Of rcdeeming a
large portion Of tho public debt with
greenbacks. This proposition appears to
be received with much favor In re-
cent speech, Hon. Geo. II. Bendleton, of
Ohio, thus lucidly explains the proposition:
"The fye.twenty bonds are all payable
at the option of the Government, after
five years. Their very names show it.
They are payable, by the law under which
they were issued. and according TO their
face, in greopbacks. They are not pay
able in gold. Tho interest is, according
to the provision Of the law and the Ian
guage Of tho coupon, to be paid in gold.
Not 80 with the principal The ten.forly
bonds authorized by tho aes Of March 3,
1868, are, by the terms Of the law, made
payable in gold. This is the only class
OF bonds of that character and as read
the last official statement Of Secretary
McCullouch, very few, if any Of them,
have been issued. The Government may
then, according to tho terms Of the law
and its contracts, pay the fve.twcnties
in greenbacks at any time after FIVE years
from their Issue, and there is no repudi.

From tho Portland Herald
Oregon Central Railroad.

We learn from William T. Newly, Esq.
Director and agent Of the above named
Railroad Company. that the Secretary of
the Interior Las officially recognized that
Company as entitled to the Government
subsidy Of II, 900 acres Of land per mile,
subject to the conditions of the grant
This Company Is also entitled to the ben
efts of the act of the Legislature of last
winter, by which the State Of Oregon
guarantees the interest on the Company 5
bonds at the rate of ten thousand dollars
a mile for hundred miles Twenty miles
of the road must be completed before ei-
ther of these donations can be realized
upon. When twenty miles Of the road
is completed-which VIC should Judge
could be built and stocked for 100000,
or $4,000 mile-the Company can is.
sue 5000 900 in stock, with the interest
guaranteed by the State, and receive the
Government patent for 100000 acres of
land, which ought to be worth at least
100000. By economical management
the land and the bonds We should think
would be sufficient to build and equip
one hundred miles Of the road The far
mers along the line Of tho proposed route
are taking hold of the matter with much
spirit and liberality. Mr Newly informs
us that SAC, 900 was subscribed in YAM
hill and Washington counties. and that
100000 more is pledged conditioned on
the choice Of routs. Mr.. Lewis, the En-
gineer of the Company, has commenced
preliminary survey, making his initial
point in this city, and seeking the most
practicable pass through the range of hills
on our west to the Tualatin Plpins. 1t
is the intention of the Company to COM
mence work on the road at the earliest
practicable time. IF one-half of the esti-
mated amount necessary to complete the
first twenty miles is guaranteed in Ore
gon. responsible parties in the East have
offered to furnish the other half. The
following resolution was handed us for
publication:
ResoJved, That we locate the Oregon
Central Railroad on the nearest and best
route, taking into consideration the in
dueements offered on the different pro-
posed routes, and the advantages for
trade and business. Provaded, that the
main road shall never cross to the East
side of the Willamette river, and propi-
ded further, that said road shall run
through the TuaIatin plains, in Washing
ton county, Oregon.
I hereby certify, that at meeting of
the Directors of the Oregon Central Rail-
road Company, held at Hillsborough, on
the oath of September, 1867, the above
resolution was passed unanimously.

A True and Gallant Woman.

4 woman in Tennessee informed her
husband, few days before the election
there, that ii he voted the Mougrel ticket
she would leave him. lie did so. and
true 10 her word, on tho evening of cleo
ton day she moved TO her fathers house,
where her husband went after hor.
Nothing daunted, she ordered him per-
emptorily 10 leave her presence, as she
would not live with him another day
She declared 10 him that she held in utter
contempt man who would vote for u
party that was seeking to drag herself
and her children down 10 the dcgraiion
Of negro equality. Glorious woman
Her virtue and heroism are worthy Of
the sublimest days of Spartin or Roman
courage. What, indeed, can be more re.
pulsiyc 10 true woman than the simple
thought that her children should be even
iamiliarizcd with the idea Of equality
with an inferior race? Would not any
mother prefer a thousand times to see the
dear little babe at her bosom, blushing
in all the delicate loyelincss Of its pure
Caucasian beauty, a corpse in her arms,
rather than suppose for a single moment
that its progeny would be miserable,

ism. The unberyeratcd female requires
no argument to convince her of the ab-
surdity aud vileness wrapped up in the
principles Of the dominant party. We
have been informed, upon reliable author
ity, that the wives Of some of the promi-
nent members of the Mongrel Congress,
last winter, were in almost open rebellion
over the monstrous views their husband
sometimes expressed in debate In fact.
if this vileness goes on, aud the men do
not put down every vestige of negro
cqality. we should not be surprised to see
a female rebellion, to shame or drive the
men into decency.
At all events, let every woman who has
a Mongrel husband, do as the noble mat
ron Of Tennessee. and We shall make
short work Of the wicked delusion now
running our country, and which is gradu-
ally sapping the very foundations of soci-
ETY.. Indeed, what would be left of
America when the North American Con-
tinent is reduced to the same condition
as the South American Can any Amer

its possibility for single moment, with
out horror j? And yet it is to just that
condition that we arc now being whirled
with railroad speed by the Mongrel party,
with its appliances Of military rule and

ULTRAIsM.-They have IN Illinois, as
principal of the State Normal School at
Bloomington, one Richard Edwards, the
compiler Of book for the use Of common
schools, Recently, thia same Mr., Ed
wards delivered an address at Tore
Hautc, Indiana, on the occasion OF laying
a cornerstone of the State Normal School ;
in which address he is reported to have
used the following language
"Mr. Edwards approved the position
of Governor Morton in regard to the COM
mingling of black and white chilhren.--
He said the day would come when the
negro would be more intelligent and cul-
tivated than the white man, and the
question would be, not whether a negro
should be permitted to marry a white
girl, but whether WHITE GIRL, has oaoas
daughter IN fact, aoould be sufficiently ac-
complished and refined to marry a color
ed gentleman"
If Mr.. Edwards did use the language
here reported, and if it be an expression
of his real sentiments, then the decent
people Of Illinois will do well to give dill
gent attention to the morals in the Nor
NAL School.

Ge0~ Medical AdVicc.-DR. VIM. K. DO
HERTY'S Medical and Surgical Institute is be-
coming sine qua to the welfare of our State
and health ofour citizens and his rapidly spread
ing reputation, although it may excite surprise is
but the signal of skill and follows as the natural
effect of such cause. we are personally aequalIs-
ed with gentlemen who have suffered foryears un-
der chronic disease. and who had taken advant-
ago of every available means that promised relief,
but without success until they called upon DR..
Doherty who, in an incredibly short space of time
has given them entire relief. 1t is gratifying to
announce this fact, because the Doctor is gem
tleman who seeks, not by defamation of others, to
establish his reputation, to rear the superstrue
ture of his upon the ruin of an anothcrs fame.
The Doctor conducts his Institute in such man
ner that must be gratifying to all his patients.-
He examines, advises and recommends without
charge, and the patient after hearing his terms
for treatment can accept or reject at pleasures In
no case does the Doctor make charge unless he
effects a cure. This he Is able to do, because he
feels the confidence which long experience has Civ
en-, and no doubt the consolation which appertains
TO that Confidence Persons afflicted with either
aocute or chropic diseases. would do well to con-
suit him. For consultation he asks no fee, nor
does he insist obedience to his advice unless the
patient places himself under his care. His offices

BECOMING ALARMED.

The Salem Jisioaist is very much
alarmed It believes that there will be
more fighting. 1t says that President
johnson is surrounding himself with ten
thousand ex.Confederate soldiers, armed
with the latest and most approved style of
arms, aud tho said soldiers are paid by
the State in order to prevent alarm. The
tnionist talks of meeting the approaching
storm ''with bold and unAinehing de-
termination to successfully overcome it.
For some past it has been plain to us
that the villainous leaders of the Radical
party have been waiting for some plausi-
bic pretext for again plunging the eoun.
try into an interneeine war; and they
imagine that the arming, by the Governor
of Maryland, of few thousand soldiers,
affords them the desired opportunity. We
do not have much faith in Johnson's wis
dom, PRESENCE or moral courage; but We
do hope that he will promptly suppress
all attempts, from any and every quarter,
to interfere with him in the discharge Of
his legitimate and lawful duties. No
President has been bullied and badgered
as he has since he filled the Presidential
chair; and if corrupt Congress take
measures to dopose him and place Ben.
