On Tuesday, the articles of incorpora-
ton for this company were completed and
placed on file in the Office of the Secretary
of State, By Mr. 0dell of Eugene City.
who, witE Mr. Pengra, has been very
much interested In the success of the en-
terprise This company organizes to con-
struct branch railroad, leaving the main
Pacific road at the Big Bend of the Hum
boldt river in the State of Nevada, cross
ing the Cascade mountains by the route Of
the Central Military Wagon Road, and
traversing the Willamette valley to PORT
land. Mr.. Odell, in his summer survey
ing tour, has examined almost all the re-
gion through which this road is proposed
TO be constructed cast of the mountains,
and has been at pains to give US a full
and careful description Of the country and
its resources. The mountain pass is very
favorable. The highest elevation attain
ed is about 5000 feet. The grade need
not exceed so feet to the mile, and the
lands along the road line can be settled
and cultivated TO advantage for the entire
distance over the mountains. The sum-
nit is attained in about ITO miles from
Eugene, and about 80 after entering the
canon formed by the Mckenzie or middle
fork of the Willamette, which it ascends
for that distance. The descent to Des-
chutes is made in twenty miles, the plain
traversed by the road at the eastern base
having an altitude of 1000 feet. Tim
Der is very abundant until the southern
boundary of the State is reached. The
country to be traversed by the road is the
garden spot of the vast interior region,
abounding in beautiful and fertile valleys,
winding among the ridges, and certain to
draw thither great population when easy
communication is afforded. The sage
plains lie north and south of it, and it pos
scsses great value as an agricultural and
grazing region.
B. j. Pengra, Esq, has gone to Wash
ington to labor to secure Government aid
for this enterprise, and his success is .
matter in which our State has deep in
terest. 1t is gratifying to know that very
great influence is enlisted in its favor,
and the press and the congressional dele
cation of California are warmly in favor
of the granting of government subsidy
to assist it.-Salena Record.

Hon. Geo. III. PendIetOn ON the
New York Tribune.

The Times, on yesterday, commented
on articles which appeared on the same
day in the New York Times and the New
York Tribune, charging Hon. Geo. HI.
Pendleton aud the Democracy of Ohio, in
the political canvass which is now going
on id that State, with purpose of repu-
dating the Government Indebtedness.
Mr. Pendlcton. in recent speech. said,
in substance, that the fve-twenty bonds
issued BY the Government were redeema.
BILE, according to their terms, in either gold
or greenbacks, at the option of the Gov
ernment.
The Tribune says that this is'' gross
misstatement of fact" and that Mr.. Pen
dleton, in making it, did "talk like vii
lain
Now, it is incumbent on the Tribune to
show that the bonds of this class specify
that they shall be paid in coin.
The ten forty bonds of the Government
do so explicitly specify. In the absence
of any such specification in the fve-twen-
ties, the natural presumption, in view of
the existence of the legal tender act,
WOULD be that the Government may elect
whether it will pay this class of bonds in
gold or Treasury notes. IS
The statement of Mr.. Pendleton was,
that the intereston the fve-twenties should
be paid in coin, but that the Govern
mentId not contract to pay the princi-
pal. aao
The act of June 80, 1864, authorizing
the issue Of 100000, 900 Of iye-twenties,
does say that the interest shall be paid in
coin, but it does not say that the principal
shall be SO paid.
The acts of February Is, 1862. and Of
March g.. 1864, under which S5l4, ,000..
900 Of fve-twenties were issued, do moi
say that either the principal or the inter.
est shall be paid in coin.
The act Of March 3, 1866, under which
$103, 542, 500 fve-twenties were issued
does not say that either the principal OF
interest shall be paid in coin, ).
There are about 81, 100, 600. 900 Of FIVE

Of the Treasury, in the discretionary
gated or has contracted to pay them in
coin A somewhat careful look into the
various laws authorizing the issue Of fve-
twcntics has convinced us that the Trib-
une has been more jealous than discreet
in charging Mr.. Pendclton with being
liar, and with having INDUCED In speech
'likc william" The point is simple
one. Let US know how the Government
has contracted to pay the Gve-twenties in
gold. Either the Trtb4ne or Mr.. Pendle-
ton has lied. H. G. will not lie, save
when the fortunes of the party engaged
in the interests Of God and humanity
may be advanced by falsehood. Mr.. Pen
dleton will not lie under any cireHmstan-
ces.
H. g. has bailed JEFF. Davis, because
he believed that man accused Of crime
should be granted trial within reason
able length Of time. This was Demo-
cratic--wc use the word not in its lexi-
Geographical. but party sense. He has de-
clared for impartial Suffrage. This, also,
is Democratic. He has also given tho

severe castigation. In this he acted in
harmony with Democratic ideas.
Does his fraDkness, his independence Of
spirit, his trutbfulness and just concep-
tions, in relation TO certain public issues,
give him an immunity 10 lie on other
questions?
This matter of paying the Government

Geo. ii. Pendleton, in demanding that
the Government shall pay its debts ac-
cording to the term of its contracts, does
not "talk like a william"
Party interests may be subserved by
denouncing him as one, and by "gross
misstatemcnts of facts;" but such tactics
can only be temporarily successful. It's
not pleasant TO charge willful and delib-
crate lying on one of the most prominent
newspapers in the country; but We sub
nit to our readers the facts, With the in
junction to inquire whether this charge,
under the circumstances, has transgress-
ed the proprieties of journalism.

The Marriage Relation.

The facility with which parties in the
marriage relation may obtain divorce is
beginning to attract such share of attep
ton, aud is felt to be 80 great n scandal,
that we shall not be surprised to see the
legislatures of the different States taking
hold Of the subject aud adopting more
atringent laws than now prevail. Bishop
Whitehouse. in his late address to the
Diocesan Convention Of Illinois. deemed
this evil worthy of notice. and lie refers
to it in the following eloquent terms
The facility Of separation destroys all
mutual confidence, and influences every

The TINES HAVE CHANGED.-Says
the alta, speaking of the attacks of the
loyal press upon Mrs. Lincoln:
"The times have changed Indeed in '62
men were imprisoned in New York City
for speaking with disrespeot of lady
agaist whom in1867 every illnatured cow
ard makes haaste to raise his feeble sparl.
Yes, ''the times have changed" and in
more respects than one. The men who
in 1862 said the President was the
Government, and wanted to imprison and
hang all who spoke against that official.
now are publicly cursing him like pick
pockets every day, and swearing he ought
to be impeached. It is fortunate for
them s'the times have changed" aud that
under Democratic rule freedom of speech
is sacred, else they would be in bastile
or at the end of q rope.-SOnOma DEM

OUR PLATFORM.

We lay before our readers this week
the platform Of the Republican party,
adopted at the State convention held on
the 10th inst. Every plank of that plat
form is sound and made of the right ma.
terial. 1t is material that will grow
stronger with use, and will Withstand
the revolutions and mutations of ages.
1t is composed of principles which will
be endorsed. by every conscience not
trammelled by the sophistries of time
serving policy.
The platform first boldly indorses the
equality Of all men. 1t next Endorses
the Congressional reconstruction policy,
and demands the assembly of Congress
for the purpose of carrying out that poll
cy. The next resolution demands the
punishment Of JEFF. Davis. IT he is not
Il criminal there never was one. If he
does not deserve punishment no one ev-
er did. lfhe is not punished we license
treason. The last resolution endorses
the action ofOur members Of Congress.
Our candidates have all been attached
to the Republican party ever since its
organization, and advocated the princi-
pies of that party long before such or
ganization. Besides this, they are HON
est, capable men. ..4.s
With such platform, and snch can
