A MALICIOUS CANARD.-The Orego.
MAN, in order to detract from the magni-
tude or the merit of the successful enter.
prise Of our fellow citizens, Messrs. Stevens
and Van Trump, in ascending Mount
Rainier, invents and gives currency to the
story that party, comrosed partly of Ia.
dies, made the ascent Of that mountain re-.
Gently. Whoever will take the trouble to
read-aud no decent person acquainted
with the parties will question its credibili.
ty-the narrative Of the ascent, the conclu.
sion of which will be found 10 this paper,
will be satisfied of the untruthfulncss of the
Orego"ian's statement. No person has
ever before claimed to make the ascent,
and while those gentlemen we're yet in the
mountain, an engineer on the Northern
Pacific Railroad we'll acquainted with
mountain conformations. offered to wager a
thousand dollars that the ascent could not
be made by man. The petty jealousy ex.
hibited by the O~goxian, is characteristic
of an editor whose chief contributions to
literature or science is the literary snob.
berry Of persistently misspelling the name
Of Willamette, the photography of which
has been established by statute and com.
mon usage.

QUESTIONABLE CLEMENcY.-The last
official act Of George L. Woods, late Gov.
ernor Of Oregon, was the pardon Of Eve
convicts out Of the penitentiary. No 9th.
er Executive probably ever exercised the
pardoniug power to 80 great m extent as
has Gov. Woods, and the fact that the Oh.
jects of his clemency have uniformly been
backed by friends who had the control Of
money or political influence. in connection
with the fact that Woods entered Office
poor and has since returned an annual in.
come Of $4,000 on salary Of 81 500, has
led to the disagreeable surmise that the
pardons and the income were intimately
associated.

We learn from Judge Wychc that court
adjourned at Port Townsend last Tuesday.
The docket was not large, aud all the cases
we're heard, aud there were several cases
involving very interesting questions Of
law.
In the case Of Moore l. Lyons r.. Pullen
and Max6eld, the act "to extend the rro-
visions Of the mechanics lien law to logs,
spars, sawed lumber and other timber" re-
ceived construction for the first time 10
the Territory. 1t was contended on the
one side, that the remedies of " loggers,"
Under the act, we're to be found under the
first division of the mechanics lien law;
and on the other side, that the "loggers"
could acquire and enforce their liens under
the second division Of the mechanics lien
law, relating to liens on personal proper.
IT," The court held that the remedies of
loggers we're confined to the first division
Of the mechanics lien law, and gave a very
satisfactory and clear exposition Of the law.
AS the question is Of general and public
interest, we hope to see the opinion In print.
In the case Of the Belliugham Bay Coal
Co. Is. Killup, the attachment law received
pretty thorough examination, and the
question was settled by the court when an
attachment might properly issue. In that
case, the writ issued on the l4th Of July,
and the writ and complaint we're placed 10
the sheriff's hands on the 18th and served
on the 10th, and on motion to dismiss the
attachment as improvideutly issuing, the
court held the attachment could not legally
issue till after the commencement Of the
suit. and that the suit commenced upon
the service Of the complaint, and that there
was no suit pending when the writ issued,
and so the attachment was dismissed.
The case Of Capt Fowler e.. DR.. CAL
houu excited a good deal Of interest.
Capt. Hyde, day or two after our last
Delegate election, bet some $500, with
Capt. Fowler, on certain majority for
Garfelde, and won the bot, the money hav.
ing been placed in DR.. Calhoun's hands,
as stakeholder, and Fowler notified Cal.
houn not to pay over the money and sued
Calhoun to recover it. The case was ar.
gued but not decided. the matter of doubt
with the court, as Judge Jacobs stated.
being whether bet after election stood on
the same footing as one made before cleo
ton, and the counsel we're requested to
submit authorities on that point.
We hear from all quarters that the ad-
ministration of the law under Judge ia
cobs, is entirely sati.!sss.ry both to the
profession and the public.

on Thursday afternoon, discharged passeu.
gers and freight, and departed for Port
land on Friday morning, at Q o'clock. We
learn from shippers that tho commere with
this port is rapidly increasing, and it is

RAILROAD DISSATISFACTION cars
on the Oregon and California Railroad
commenced running about a week ago,
and during that time there have been two
disasters to trains. The first occurred on
Saturday last, near Waconda, the weight
of the train causing landslide of the EN-.
bankment, and the baggage car, with eigh,
persons in it, was turned bottom side up
down the bank. All in the cars we're more
more or less injured. but none fatally. Elk.
Governor Geo. E. Cole had his shoulde,
dislocated.
On Monday morning, as train com.
posed of the locomotive and tender, bag
gage and two platform cars were being
backed over the new trestle work in East
Portland. three or four of the piles sank
down under the weight, hurting the entire
train to the ground beneath, distance Of
fifteen feet In falling, at least quartz,
OF mile Of iron and ties came off with the
train. Three persons we're seriously iu
jured, one it is feared fatally. The dam
age is estimated at $4,000.
These disasters to the company are tri
fling in comparison to the calamity which
awaits its managers in the defeat Of their
candidate for the United States Senate
next week.

The Dangers Of Hob Law.

The Dangers Of Hob Law.
An immense excitement was recently
caused in San Francisco and Oakland by
the following circumstance A young
school girl Of respectable parents left her
home 10 Brooklyn clandestinely, on Mon.
day morning. and was not found by her
friends Until the following Thursday, when
she called at the Metropolitan Hotel, in
San Francisco and cnquircd for Mr.. Wood,
a conductor on a railroad in Oakland, on
which she Vas in the habit of going to and
returning from school. She was shown to
Mr.. Woods room, where she awaited his
arrival, and Immediately after an interview
with him she was taken suddenly i'll and
conveyed to her home in dying condition
and soon after expired. Suspicion imme-
diately fastened upon Wood as the seducer
of the girl, who had inveigled her from
home, accomplished her ruin, and caused
her death. Popular indignation was great.
ly aroused against Wood, and before any
investigation was had, the Brooklyn Indc.
pendent, paper edited by one Calvin b.
Mcdonald, made . passionate appeal to
the mob to wrest Wood from the hands of
the officers and hang him. Nothing but
the greatest caution and vigilance by the
police saved the life of Wood from this ex.
hibition of mob vengeance. A subsequent
post norton examination established the
fact that the body of the deceased had not
been outraged, and the investigation of a
coroner's jury traced her wanderings from
the time she left her home till her death,
which were accounted for by alteration of
mind caused by physical irregularities,
with which Wood had no connection ex-
cept in the fact that she cnquired for him
at the hotel. Thus an innocent man had
his life placed in peril at the hands of an
i ,sensate mob, instigated to murder by a
a reckless and unprincipled editor, merely
to crafty an ;u.rdinatc craving for scnsa-
tional incident.
This Mcdonald is the same vagabond
Bohemian who, as editor of the Flag, in
stigated the riots in San Francisco in the
spring of 1865, which resulted in the de-
struction Of several printing offices and
the pecunary ruin Of men guiltless of any
moral, social or political offense recognized
by any of the better class of society, and
the instruments Of his nefarious plot we're
as ignorant Of the cause or objects of their
wrath as the dumb brutes which are Kissed
on to the exhibition of their ferocious in.
stincts. Partisan malice, united with law.
less sympathies, yet direct public attention
to the victims of that mob as suffering
from the course Of God" and public in
dignation, when they we're only the objects
Of insensate hate, instisated by an incarnate
fiend, who under the guise Of patriotism
stirs up tho worst elements of society to
acts of lawless violence No community
is safe which countenances or tolerates
mob violence, much less I'm editor who an.
proves or endorses it.
