The Pavilion is also expected to be far more
attractive and interesting this year than ev-

|RAILRoAD PRosPEcTs.-It will be seen by
an article which we copy from the Herald Of
Saturday last, that Ben Holiday, one of the
heaviest eastern capitalists, and we'll known
as the President of the California, Oregon
and Mexican Steam Navigation Company,
has purchased tie interest of 4. j. Cooke
& Co. in the Oregon Central Railroad Easi
sidel and now owns controlling interest in
that corporation, and it is now his purpose
to push it through to completion in the short
est possible time Read the article in an
other column headed "A new Era for Ore
gon,'' and also the communication from
Messrs. G. B. Smith and Judge Chenoweth
on the first page, aud judge for yourselves
rs to our prospects for Railroad. We see
from the Portland papers that the West-side
Road is also being rapidly pushed forward.
and that the indications of its speedy and
successful completion are hattering. We
are glad of It, Roll on the cars; Oregon
needs half dozen Railroads, and ere many
years roll over her she will have them.
By-the-way, we see by the Salem paper
that corporation has been formed to con-
struct Railroad from Salem to McMinn-
vile. If this is successful-and we have nc
doubt in time it will bet will certainly be
profitable and paying institution, as it will
afford direct transportation to the product:
of some Of the best soil in our State.

Our SENIoR.-Mr, NJ. II. Abbott
the senior publisher of the Democrat
who Is now at Salem, informs us by
letter that he has been elected to the
position of Enrolling Clerk of the
Lower Honse, and consequently will
be ut the Capital during the entire
session of the Legislature. In the
meantime, the paper will be conduct
ed by the junior of the firm, who will
endeavor to make it rs interesting as
circumstances will permit. We ex'
pect each week to be able to give our
readers an interesting letter from the
Capital, as that is the prime object OF
our senior in remaining there during
the Legislative term. In addition to
his letter, any other news of interest
to our readers which we can CLEAN
from their proceedings, will be given
through our columns each week.

intimation / have had that you did
not accept that Interpretation. Now
for my reason for giving that in
depreciation: 1t was clear to me
before my letter of January 80 was
written, that I, the person having
more public business to transact
with The Secretary of War than any
other of the Presidents subordi-
mates, was the only one who had
been instructed to disregard the au-
thority was deprived as agent ofthc
President
son the 9th of January l re-
ceived a letter from the Secretary
of War (copy herewith), directing
me to furnish an escort to the pub
lie treasure from Rio Grande to
New Orleans, &c, at the request of
the Secretary Of the Treasury to
him. | also send two other inclos-
ures, showing the recognition of
Stanton as Secretary Of War by
both Secretary Of the Treasury and
the Postmaster General, in all of
which cases the Secretary OF War
had to call upon me to make the
order requested, or give the infor-
nation desired, and where his au-
thority to do so is derived, in my
view, as agent of the President.
"With an order so clearly ambis
uous as that Of the President here
referred to, it was my duty to in
form the President of my interpre-
tation Of it, and to abide by that
Interpretation until l received 9th
er orders. Disclaiming any inten-
ton now, or heretofore, of DISC
beying any legal order of the Pres
ident, distinctly communicated, |

Johnaon. Grant oorrespondenoe.

We give up a large portion of the
HERALD this week to the letter OF
President johnson in reply to Gen.
Grants letter which we published
in connection with the Presidents
first letter last week. This letter
of Johnson's is accompanied by
statements from Secretaries Seward,
Welles, McCulloch and Browning,
and Postmaster General Randall, all
as in duty bound, seem to concur in
the Presidents version Of the con
versation between him (Johnson)
and General Grant on the l4th Of
January, as to Grants promise to
resign the position Of Secretary of
War ad interim before the Senate
decided in Stanton's case or, in
case the Senate decided against the
Presidents power to remove Stan
ton, Grant was to hold on to the
Office of Secretary of War until he
was ousted or retained by Judicial
decision, The President wanted to
make General Grant a tool for his
own use to test his power to remove
public officers from power during
the recess of Congress; and the
members of his Cabinet named
above tamely and submissively
but rather equivocally sustained
johnson in his version of Grants
alleged pledge to the President on
the 18th ult. In his letter the Pres
ident charges Gen, Grant with in
subordination. To this charge Gen.
Grant makes a brief and pointed
reply, convicting the President of
misrepresenting him.
In all these letters the President
comes before the people second
best. He labors under the disad-
vantage of having proven himself
false to the principles upon which
the Union men of the country Gle
waited him to the second office in
the Government, and is now in the
approving embrace of the men and
the party that caused the war, and
fought against the Government to
Destroy it while Gen. Grant, whether
upon the field of battle or as Secre-
iary of War ad interim, has proved
himself faithful to his country, and
strictly obedient to its laws; he
would not violate the law in any
went to satisfy the demands of his
Incidental superior in office-Andy
Johnson.

The Legislature of this State
seems to be almost inundated with
petitions and remonstrances from
all parts Of the State; petitions for
and remonstrances againstthe repeal
of the road law of last winter; peti.
tions for free trade in money are al
most as thick as the leaves of the
forest; petitions for the repeal OF
the ditching law of the State have
been presented from some counties
where the land is SO poor that it
won't pay to make bitches; remon-
strances against its repeal are also
presented.
There seems to be a vast amount
of mimportant business thrown in
to the Legislative mill which is not
worth grinding; and if the prayers
of all the petitioners were complied
with by the Legislature, we should
have a strange jumble Of enact
ments,
