ASHLAND, Dec. 8, 1872

ASHLAND, Dec. s, 1857.
Convention met at 2 80 as in pursu-
ance of adjournment. E. W. Myers
was elected Chairman and c. Wood,
Secretary.
SLOW to make the most of Life
was the topic upon which Mr.. VIM.
Campbell then proceeded to address
us. He spoke of three-fold duty
which we owe to ourselves, our neigh
Dor, and our God. He spoke of the
seductive influences that threaten eve
ry human life, and advocated the in
culcation of s'ixed moral principles"
When Mr.. Campbell had finished,
the Question Box was opened. These
are some of the questions: What
shall be done 10 infuse life into dead
Sunday School = Can Superintend-
ant be successful unless he takes per-
sonal interest in each scholar" GLOW
shall the parents be got to the school? ?"
The question pertaining to the Super
intendent was happily responded to
by our minister. Among other things
he said: g A child may be repealed by
the manner he is approached--he
knows whether or not the Superin-
tendent loves him. The young lady
knows whether the young man who
goes to see her loves her or not long
before he tells her Il love you.' 1t
will out; 1t beams in the eye; she is
informed by his every feature and eve
ry action. He can't conceal it." Bro.
Light also took occasion to condemn
the practice of not reading portion
of the Scriptures in opening schools,
Father Haynes spoke against fictitious
books in Sunday School libraries.
/ After the Question Box came the
election of officers for the ensuing
year. Bro. A. N. Cain was elected
President, and S. w. 'Creath, Vice
President. C.. w. Wood was re-elect-
ed Secretary. Committee OH Pro-

Allow me to present thought for
the consideration Of your city patrons,
rs follows: We are badly in need of
some means by which in case of Fire.
we may be able to successfully combat
it. Now allow me to present in the
crude state, an idea that occurs to me.
Why can there not be an Artesian
Well sunk, (say, one to two thousand
feet deep,) on oneof our highest bluffs,
allowing ii TO discharge into Reser-
yo;r of proper size. constr ucted on the
bluff, with pipes leading to all parts of
the city, supplying the various fire
Plugs that may put up, also furnish
ing water for private use. If this is
practicable we would in all probability
be supplied with quality of water
far superior to our best cistern or well
water, with all the advantages arising
from eenstantsupply, cheapaess, SC.
And now while you are in for this
spuib, let MS ask farther: Would it moi
be wise or the part of our citizens tt
give this matter sober thought ant
thorough investigation and if feasible
organize Stock Co., with proper de
tails for the carrying out of the enter
prise? Farther: Would it not b,
good financiering for the city to gran
such Company good long Charter
conditioned upon its successful opera
ton within a reasonable or stated time
Also to test the matter, Gas it would be
an experiment. would the City Faith
ers' be countenanced in rendering a
limited assistance? Now if succeed
in having this matter investigated l
will have accomplished what at pre-
sent desire. AQUA,

LUCID Gov Grover in his speech,
at the Court House in this town, the
other day said-The Lock Bill was IN
troduced by Republican, Mr.. Thomp>
son, Senator from Cackamas that
Gov. Woods signed the bill that he
(Grover) signed. that if he signed a
fraud Gov. Woods sigued fraud but
that the bin was amended aud passed
the Legislature. Query ?-How could he
have signed the same Bill that Gov.
Woods signed when the Bill that he
signed was an amended Bill to that
which Woods signed Grover failed, in,
tentionally perhaps, to state the aTend
ment. And this part of his speech,
like the rest, is just as clear as some OF
the lakes that his colleagues have filed
upon.

BosH.-Grover's speech was about
the sickest attempt we ever heard at par
ty vindicatlou. He reminded US of q
poll-parrot attempting to follow his
master. His speech, written by some
cheap demagogue, was well committed,
but is not masterpiece, and be may
rest assured that the merits of it will
never take him to Congress.

RIDICULOUS The Democratic pa
pers Of the State are prating about
the Grand Jury Of Marion county put
ting of the trial of Sam May until al
ter the election, stating that il is inten-
ded to procure his release through par
tizan juries and making capital out Of
it for political effect. After spending
thousands Of dollars for Investigations
bringing May here and other IncIdentals
connected with his arrest, on o charge
of defanlting to the amount of over Sl4,
0O0; having those indictments entirely
quashed and then swearing out others
to the meagre amount Of $500, II is not
strange that they should harp about
actions for political effect. The charge
is too thin. The thing goes for what it
is worth and no more.

w dison ana Burnett.


These two gentlemen spoke at the
Court House Wednesday afternoon to
large audience. Mr.. Burnett led in the
discussion. He commenced with the
Tariff, and after devoting over half
hour to its discussion, and stating that
he was 10 favor of tariff for revenue,
wound up by saying, there ,eas no taro-
to" Of this kind but acorked an injustice
thus virtually saying that he endorsed
an injustice.
His next attack was upon the National
Banking system and the funds employed
in the operation of these Banks, He
denounced these funds as "Privileged
Capital" because they were founded
upon u. S. Bonds, which were free
from taxation. He favored4 taxation of
these bonds, and before he was through
with this part of his subject, admitted
they scere species Of property, Which,
/" It's very naturs a0os free from tara-
tion, aud that 1t was the understanding
at the time these bonds were issued that
they should not be taxed.
He referred to the policy of the pres
ent administrati on, as one which was
tending to the centralization OF power,
and striking at the liberties of the peo-
pie, but failed TO show any danger to
be apprehensed by tho course of the
government, or 10 what way tho people
were in danger of losing their liberties.
The remainder Of his time was devo'
ted to charges against the admlnlstra-
ton suspension of the writ of hobeos
corpus; trial by jury aud other injn-
ries, which he sad were being imposed
upon the people His tine having come
to a close
