Telegraphfc Summary.

WASHINGTON Dec 6.-The Presi-
dents Message to the United States Sen
ate and House of Representatives in
Congress assembled, opened by announc-
ing year OF peace and prosperity as
having passed since the last assembling
OF Congress. 1t is comparatively brief
document, written in a clear business like
way, which presents at glance review
OF public affairs for the past year, aud
tie present situation of the country
The main facts stated are already famiI-
lar to the public through the papers
In reference to the alabama question
the President says: 81 regret to say
that no conclusion has been reached for
an adjustment of the claims against
Great Britain, growing out Of the course
adopted By that Government during the
rebellion. The Cabinet of London, so
far as Its views have been expressed,
does not appear to be willing to concede
that her Majesty's government was guilty
of neglect, or did any act during the war
by which the United States has any just
cause of complaint. Our fra, and uual-
terable convictions are directly the reverse
therefore recommend to Congress to
authorize the appointment of Commis-
sioners to take proof of the amounts and
ownership of vessels, and their claims,
and that authority be given for sattle-
ment of those claims by the United
States, SO that this government shall
have ownership of all private claims, as
well as responsible control of all demands
against Great Britain, and whenever her
Majesty's government shall entertain a
desire for full aud friendly adjustment
of the claims, the United States govern
ment will enter upon their consideration
with an earnest desire for eppclusion
consistent with the honor and dignity oil
both nations.

REV. II. >. KENDALL.

'Our fathers, where are they? and
our prophets, do they live forever?''
One Of Oregon's most distinguished
citizens has gone from the walks of men
fallen M one of the majestic frs amidst
the stiffness of the forest. All that was
mortal of Thomas Simpson Kendall is
dead, but he has left the impress of his
mind upon all those among whom he
moved
DIR. Kendall was great more in what
he was, than in what he did. He might
have risen to distinction in almost any of
the walks ef life, but he chose instead
IN humble sphere. With him there we're
NO distinctions of persons. The peasant
was the equal of the prince, and the
master, of the slave. Socially he knew no
difference. His nature was eminently
genial, aud his colloaual powers good.
These, with his almost universal store of
general knowledge, and his singular
freedom from anything ike ostentatiou,
rendered him one of the most compan-
ionable of friends.
Bat it was on the rostrum that he ap-
peared to tho best advantage. Tall,
straight, and commanding in person,
whenever occasion occurred to wake the
latent 6res of his nature, he arose to the
full measure of the genuine orator. In
argument he was overwhelming, and
often INDUCED in most impassioned elo-
quence.
DR.. Kendall was one of the early
pioneers of Oregon, aud has been identi-
ned with her interests for more than
twenty-five years. He assisted in mold
ing her institutions, and laying the
foundation of our present aud prospective
prosperity. AS patriot, his devotion to
country never faltered, even amid the
darkest hours of her trial but then, as
in his early manhood, his voice was ever
heard in defense of the eternal principles
oc justice and the inalienable rights of
man.
But he has gone. We shall look upon
his face no more. We shall miss his
cheerful greetings But we will remem-
Der him as he was Peace to his mem
ory.

CohpletiOn of the O. & G. Railroad to
Albany.


Albany.
The 9Th day cf December, a. D. 1870,
win ever be remembered as the most
eventfnl in the history of the city of AL
bany. On that day the track of the Ore
gon & California Railroad was completed
TO her doors, and the snort of the iron
horse was heard within her precincts.
Hundreds of our citizens, many of whom
had yet to see the FIRST train of cars or
an iron rail, assembled on the depot
grounds in the Southern suburbs of the
city, long ere the train was announced to
arrive, waiting anxiously but patiently
the arrival Of the first passenger train to
Albany. Ben Holiday telegraphed to
our Mayor on Wednesday night that he
would be at the Albany depot by half
past twelve p. NJ. but owing to some de-
lays, and the tact that the track was not
layed sufficient distance beyond the
depot TO make room for the construction
train, then on the track, uutll about 2
o'clock, the train did not arrive until
that time. A Reception Committee, the
City Council, city and county officers,
iremen, aud large concourse of our
eitizens, headed by the Albany Brass
Band, and Marshaled by City Recorder,
A. N. Arnold, had formed in pro-
cession at the Court House, and marched
out to the grounds, were in readiness to
receive Ben Holiday and guests, and
tender them the hospitalities of our city.
DIR. E. n. Geary, Chairman of the Re
ception Committee. upon the arrival of
the cars, introduced Mr. Holladay to
Mayor Stanard, who, in a neat little
speech, presented to him in behalf of our
citizens, for the use of the locomotive
ADany, a beautiful flag. Mr.. Holladay
received the flag, and introduced Hon.
j. H. Mitchell, of Portland, who delivered
a neat speech just fitting the occasion.
This was followed by the presentation of
a flag, gotten up by the ladies for the
locomotive j. B. Stephens, which has
done all the hard work, hauling construc-
tlOu tEdiuS, etC-, Ou tuo fo6o. ~ " oS Ss~
fag of the occasion, and was pre-
tented by AIrs. A. J. Duniway, in
few well-chosen and elegant words.
DR.. Loryea was sent to the front, aud
made one of his happy, mirth-proyoking
speeches. Miss Ada Mendenhall then
presented three beautiful signal flags,
gotten up in the most tasteful manner, 10
sspeech which done the little lady great
credit. Judge Mitchell responded, conf
phmenting Miss Ada highly for her
taste and spirit. This was followed By =
speech from military gentleman, whose
name We did not learn. Then came
speeches from DIR. Caplcs, o Portland,
hunourous and patriotic one from Ben.
Hayden, a "West -Sider," only such as
Ben could make; another from w. G.
johnson, ESQ. of Oregon City; a few
appropriate remarks were made by Luth-
er Elkias, Esq, of this city, and proba-
bly, one or two others, whose names have
escaped our memory. There were some
two or three hundred gentlsmen on the
sars, saesss Of air. Holiday, reprsssn.

tstoot" of the locomotive warned all that
the train was about to start, and soon
after the locomotive albany, with her
five car loads of precious freight, started
on her return trip. Thus, despite all
prophecies, drawbacks and mishaps, which
had to be met in the undertaking OF so
great an enterprise, we are pleased to be
able to chronicle this morning the fact
that Albany is now a real, live, railroad

READER, if you have a sick horse do not
dose him with Condition Powders con-
tanning anthony, which is just as useless
and in furious to him as is the constantly
swallowing of poisonous compounds to the
human system. 1t is more humane to knock
a horse on the head at once than to kill him
by inches through the action of antimouy
which accumulates in the system, and thus
sooner or later produces death by antimonial
poisoning. Remember, reader, there is 20
anthony, nor any other poison in the "Eq-
uine Condition Powders" Their action,
under all circumstances, is physiological:
therefore they can be safely used in all forms

THE BRoADsIDE ExTRA.-Our placid and
amiable neighbor, of the Union, seems
unhappy about the broadside appeal
to mechanics, artisans and lsborers, issued
yesterday morning, from this Office. Only
two ideas 10 his article deserve notice. He
thinks the two policemen who aided il
circulating the broadside committed an
improperly. In this he is mistaken. They
did not distribute them until after 5 O'Clock
in the morning, when their round of duty the
city had expired, and their time was their
own until the hour for them to 90 on duty
again, unless called out by some special
emergency. They did not neglect any duty
they owed the city, but only used the time
which was their own, which they had a
perfect RICH: to use, and for which they were
paid by the democratic committee. The
other idea is this: The Union says ave
heard of one who gathered up forty copies
and burnt them" That is the best evidence
in the world that the broadside could not be
successfully answered. When people burn
documents and records it is a pretty sure
sign that they are afraid of them. 1t was
the very highest compliment Hawley's
friend could have paid the brosdside
Afraid to have the truth known in regard to
the record and principles of the democratic
party, he seeks to suppress it by burning
the document.
