C. ". w. R.-Mr. Abe Eackleman
tells US that Jason Wheeler and his
"merry men" are fast speeding the
work on the Mountain Wagon Road,
up tho Santiam, and that last week
over five hundred feet of the grading
from the first crossing hads boon conn.,
pleted. 1t is expected that the entire
labor will be finished in about three
weeks, when that road will be as good
as almost any of our valley roads, so
far as smoothness and regularity of
grade is concerned. The road is al
ready in a very fair condition for trav-
cling, and in few days several persons
will start for a trip across it. The
rates of toll, which we publish else
where, ara decidedly liberal, and the
Company deserve the best of patron
age for their enterprise in constructing
a-sAad which is alike beneficial to pco-
pie on both sides of the Cascade Noun
tains.

FROM MoSrANA.-From private let
r received in this city from Raiders
burg, Montana, March 16, we make the
following extract:
"We have had moro snow this wint, r
than for four years past-the mountains
are piled up with it-and the miners
are expecting fine summers work.
The Writer has been very pleasant, and
cattle have wintercd without being fed
and look very well. The price of cattle
remains as good as it has been for the
past two years. Cows, $50; l-year olGs,
$50; 2-year oids, So; oxen, $50 per
yoke. People are much encour-
aged here, at the prospect Of early
railroad connections. l think the day
is not far distant when in one weeks
time we can go from here to the States,
or TO the Pacific coast"

PoETRY.-Scarcely d week passes
but the mail brings us o. poetical effu-
sion from some dreamy Pegasus, seek
ing an airing through the columns of
the DEMOCRAT. Some are tolerably
fair amateur productions; others are
middling, while still others are the
worst specimens of doggerel imagin-
able. Our last arrival is "fair to mid
ding, "..and the timid grace with which
the author submits them for our ac-
ceptance or refusal makes 1t doubly
hard to thrust them into the waste
basket. "Plough- Boy' is the nom dc
plume of the aspiring youth, and we
have no doubt but the ancient Cincin-
natus would weep FOR joy over his
young disciple had he lived to peruse
these thrilling verses. We have not
space for all the poem, which is enti-
tied an ode to "Oregon in Winter"
but here Is specimen ''snatch" from
the poets pen. The first few lines will
give those persons who contemplate
immigrating to Oregon q terrible pic
ture Of the troubles and vicissitudes
which await them, but when the breath
of Spring is waited In on the last four
lines the gloomy picture Is instantly
chased away by an Elysian scene of
richest lovliness. But read, read:
..Thc Temperature seldom comes down to zero
Sometimes. however, We have good snow
Aud the earth Is bound with icy fakes,
Sometm for days. and sometimes for weeks
have SIT in the house and heard the wind put.
Aud grown forlorn at the rain on tho roof.
On various themes have tried to muse,
Bat many n day have had the blues.

On seeing tho staggers kill his last horse.
There is a green lcrh. called the blue lock,
That ofien proves fatal to grazing stock.
Aud many a favorite brindle or pide

When the breath of Spring warns the whole

And tho petals swell and blossoms put forth.
When the wales are checkersd with flowers so

THE ABUSED SOUTH.

The World says the Southern people
never failed to pay their debts in the
prosperous days before the war. The
burdens and losses Of the war pressed
heavily upon them, but the reckless ex-
travagance of the State governments i'm
posed upon them since the defeatof the
Southern armies has now saddled them
with a burden heavier than they can
bear. The State taxes in all the South
ern States are from five to ten times
greater than they were before the war,
and the ten Southern States, with less
than third of the aggregate population
of the other States, owe more than the
entire debt of all the other States of the
Union. Besides all this, they annually
pay to the Federal Treasury a tribute
which is enormous, in proportion to their
real wealth. This state of things is only
what was to be expected from system
which placed the taxpayers at the
mercy of a penniless negro majority.
Its result will probably be the virtual
bankruptcy of the people, who will refuse
to pay taxes which they can pay only
by running themselves. The Radical
party has had the South at its mercy
since the war, and the result of Radical
reconstruction is now seen in the finan-
cial ruin of ten once prosperous com
monwealths.

AMERICAN ROYALTY.

The New York Sun has, at last, the
merit of singularity. In reference to
the expense to the people of sending
young Grant on pleasure tour TO Eu-
rope attended by Sherman and Porter,
it suggests that the " cheapest, best, and
altogether the most sensible way to man
age the affair would be for Congress 70
give Grant jr., a liberal allowance for
expenses, such as Parliament gives to
the English princes, and let him go his
way, choosing his own course and his
own companions This, doubtless, would
suit the young gentleman far better than
the plan now proposed; while if he is
half as smart at deadheading as his sire,
he would be able to make big thing,
financially from his expense account
As matters are going now, the patient
public would probably be satisfied with
this arrangement; but President Grant
may rest assured that the project of
sending so many high officials abroad to
attend his son-or of sending them
abroad at the public expense at all-will
never command the appreciation of the
people"

HIS DEFENSE.

A special from Springfield, Illinois,
says the defense of General Sheridan 5
military occupation Of Chicago seems to
rest on the plea of necessity. 1t is not
generally known yet, but it is true, that
the Adjutant General of this State, an
able and experience soldier, reached
Chicago the day after the fire with four
hundred and fifty picked men, well
armed, under orders fiom Governor Pal
mer, to enforce the laws and preserve
order, and that under the advice and di-
rection of General Sheridan and Mayor
Mason, he returned home with his men
because there was no necessity for
either. After this the regiment of which
Governor Palmer complains was organ
lied and called into service.
This statement of the case places
Sheridan in an interesting attitude be-
fore the country. Great men as well as
small ones should learn to go slow over
rough places.

THE NEW SECRETARY.

A Washington special says; Grant
has held on to Fish until his successor
could be found, and now that he has
been determined upon, Fish will be al
lowed to retire as soon as the votes are
counted at the New York election to-
morrow. For long time Grant wanted
Professor Andrew d. White, of Cornell
University, for Cabinet Minister. The
latter had rendered some service as a
San Domingo Commissioner, and had
demonstrated his capacity for doing
dirty work at the Syracuse State Repub-
lican Convention; but in this desire the
President has been overruled, and it is
now beyond the possibility Of a doubt
that George William Curtis, the editor
of that Radical paper, par excellence,
Harper's Weekly will be rewarded with
the portfolio now held by Fish. The
latter will not retire before next week.
