A DRAKE'S BILL.

|
The following is the language of SEN
ator brakes Bill in the Senate which
proposes to take entirely from the ju-
dietary all power to pass upon acts Of
Congress, unless that body shall first
! consent:
BirL further to define and regulate the jurs-
diction and powers of tho United Stntea.
lie fteaaeted By he Senate aud House of Rep
reseat9iiees Of e Laitsa Sates Of Amerioa IL Con-
eress dsseaabled: That no court created by an
act OF Congress or Judge thereof shall have power
In any ease to adjudgc or hold any act or joint
resolution OF Congress invalid, IN Whole Ia pat,
Tor any supposed repagnAney between such net or
joint resolution md tho Constitution of The United
states or for any supposed wapt of authority in

Boldness is the only admirable quail
ity in this bill, We are so accustom-
ed to insidious attacks upon the organ
ic law, that it is relief to see It's enc
mics for once throw of their disguise
and make an open and direct assault.
The World says that this is n bill to
abolish the Constitution. We hope
that Mr.. Drake will make use of the
idea to add to The boldness of his Ian
guage, and give additional clearness
and ring to his ''buglo blasts" by
amending the titlet to his bill with those
words. Call things by their right
names. It is bill abolish the Consti-

COOS IN COURT


The u. S. Marshal and District At
torney have gone down TO Coos county
to look after matters connected with
the practice, prevalentthere, of cutting
timber on government land. Here is
! strategy for you. Complaints have
been lodged in the u S. District Court
against some u persons for cutting
timber. The District Attorney will
propose to so to Washington and make
intercession with government for
the timber cutters. But, of course,
those who expect clemency from the
Administration must practice ''loilty"
towards it--nothing is moro natural
than that. The whole thing will hang
fine until the June election, whom Coos
county will have a chance of showing
whether she deserves mercy or not by
the manner III which she casts her vote.
The numbering interests of Coos coun-
ty are paramount. Her business is de-
rived from it. The bulk of her popu-
lation is interested in it. The public
lands there, covered with vast and val
liable forests, are not surveyed, and
hence, have never been offered in the
market. Men who wanted to possess
themselves of a portion of the public
domain could acquire no title, and
had either to abandon the county or
squat upon the land, and use and en-
Joy it until such time qs government
should put it into market, and then
buy it in There is nothingreprehensi-
bic IN this. It involves no attempt to
wrong anybody, or swindle the Gov
ernment, only to eubdue and eivilize
the wilderness.
The United States certainly is not
keeping that land 10 speculate upon.
Why has it not surveyed it long ago |?
Why is Thompson, Pengra, Apple
gate and company given $500 con-
tracts, summer after summer, for sur
yeying sagebrush and alkali plains east {.
of the Cascade Mountains, while Coos
county is untouched? Is ii not about
time to stop running imaginary lines
in the desert, and TO establish real
ones in country that men are anx-
ious to buy and settle ? And is it not
poor time to make proselytes by pros
iecutions, or to convert the law into an
instrument Of oppression?

BURMEsTER's TRIAL.
tFrom the Commercial ]

The result Of this trial nj Idaho City is
filling the Idaho aud Oregon papers with
various comments upon the verdict; but
their views do not seem to be melted by
partisan affiliations. as some Of the most
rabid against Mr.. Burmester are Demo.
cratic, and one Of his most cool and sensi-
BILE defenders is the Walla Wallu Union,
paper known as ultra radical. We have
read Of the case with some interest, and
perused the evidence and legaf proceed
ings Of the cause, as reported, and must
say. from an impartial standpoint, the
verdict of the jury not only acquits him
before the law, but vindicates Mr.. Bur
mestcr's character and honor as gentle
MAN.

WHAr has become of the Journals of
the last Legislature? BY law, the State
Printer IS required to have the Jour
nails printed and delivered to the Sec
retary Of the State within ninety days
after the close of the session. Nearly
a year has elapsed since the final adj
journment of the Assembly, in March,
and the Journals have not appeared.
If Mr. Secretary intends to Withhold
these documents until after the eiec-
ton, SO that their damaging testimony
against the Republican party, can not
go to tho people, he may as well say
SO at once. The people will attribute
his conduct to such an object, as it now
stands.
Such strategy is unbeooming and con
temptible.. Distribute the Journals;
let us have the history.

Nh. SECRETARY OF STATE has rented
rooms in Reeds New Opera House for
the Legislature. and the State officials
are preparing for an early move into
that building.
DIR. Holman, the owner of the bull
ding at present occupied, is Demo

can Institution. This accounts for
the change. Now Mr. Holman's bull
ding is exchanged for Dir. Reeds for
no considerations of economy or con

Democrat. The State officials mayenioy
a temporary satisfaction ; but we as
sure them that it viii only be tempora-
ry. These officials viii make another
more, at their own expense the next
time, and their successors will decide
after all whether Holman shall be per-
secuted for his Democracy.

JANUARY 1st was obseryedin Salem by
the black and white darkies with ap-
propriate ceremonies. They had a
"yawp" by an African "norator, that
is said to have been niggery imita-
ton Of Geo. L. Woods style. It was
yer5 difficult to tell just where the
Governor ended and the negro began.
The audience was delighted, Of course.
After these ceremonies at the Wigwam
the calebrators adjourned to Stewart 4
building where repast was partake OF.
Two tables were set, one of which the
better class of darkies monopolized ex-
clusiyely. Around the other the
common niggers andwhit guests were
sandwiched together in the most de
ightful and fraternal manner. Sec
rstaries May & Cook, Coy. Wood and
other dignitaries were chiefest among
the white persons present. It is said
that there was but little difficulty in

The Peoples Transportation Com
pany, anticipating the move of the
State Offices into Reeds building, have
moved the Company's Office into Stark
ey's Block. We suppose that this
means that the Company expects to
pay its own Office rent and buy its own
fuel and lights instead of having the
State do it, as is generally supposed
to have been the custom heretofore.
In view of the coming election and
prospective changes. it seems about
time to quit quartering the Company
upon the State.

A NEW INDUSTRIAL JOURNAL. The
Iechnologtst is the title of new Indus
trial Journal, devoted to Engineering,
Manufacturing. and Building, that comes
to us freighted with valuable articles.
The distinguishing feature of this Jour-
nal is the fact that all the Articles and
Illustrations are original-no clippings
or old engravings being used. The Pub
fishers further pledge themselves that
no advertising articles THAT is, no de-
scriptive puffs Of worthless inventions)
shall be inserted in its columns under any
circumstances whatever; and, if they
fulfil this pledge, they will certainly do
grand thing for the industrial journalism
of the country, for every intelligent me-
chanic knows that indiscriminate putting
is the bane of our mechanical and So
called scientific periodicals.
The 7echnologist is issued by the In
dustrial Publication Company, at 176
Broadway, New York Every mechanic
ought to send for at least one number of
this Journal. If they send for one, it
will be strange if they do not send for
the others. $500 per year; Single
numbers, 20 cents.
