COMING TO FIX 'EM.-The Railroad
King is frightened at the vigorous OPP
position of many respectable Multno-
mah Republicans to his attempts at
dictation, and has ordered "Old Flax
brake to come on from Washington
and assist in whipping them into the
traces. Williams will arrive before
the Radical convention in Multnomah,
when it is confidently hoped by the
Duke that he of the ponderous jaw
will fix 'em. We predict that this
move will only increase the indigna.
ton of the Corbettites and render
them more determined to get. away
with the Multnomah convention.

G. Gibbs and "Old laxbrake" are
every renegade Dem ocrats, who in
the past history of Oregon, figured
prominently in Democra tic councils
and received fayors and stations by the
aid OF Democratic votes. They left
the party in the hour of its adversely,
when their assistance was most need
ed; and they will do the same with
the Republican party when its organ
~ization shall begin to lose ground with
the people. The depth of their polit-
ical principles can only be measured
by the success of the party with which
they operate. The Democratic party
has grown in favor ever since their
traitorous departed from its
councils, and the sooner the Republi-
can party throws them overheard the
sooner will it merit the esteem Of hon.
orable men.

A private dispatch from Cincinnati
says that the Convention, on Presi-
dental nominations, is narrowed to
Adams and Davis, and that Davis is,
almost certain of the nomination.
There is no doubt that the West will
strongly oppose Adams, except Ohio.
A dispatch to the Times says it is
reported that a combination is formed
in Pennsylvania and Illinois by which
Davis and Curtin will be nominated.
Tuesday, April 80.
Two men were burned to death in
a house in New York City yesterday.
Senator Trumbull. Fenton and Tip
ton it is reported will go to Cincin-
natl to-day. Private dispatches from
New Orleans say that Gov. Yarmoth
with about sixty-five parties, white
and colored, have started for Cincin-
natl.
The reign of terror in Cass county,
Mo-, continues. The mob of muir
derers have full sway, and the civil
authorities are powerles. The mob
have murdered twelve of the most
respectable citizens of Harrisonville,
including the bondsmen OF Cline, and
the minister who performed his fu-
neral services il notified to leave town
on pain of death, and has obeyed.
The Governor has ordered one com.

The fires in Vesuyius are slackening
A new crater opened near Tersigua
to-day. Every fresh opening de-
creases the violence of the eruption
The heavens this morning are darken-
cd with dense clouds OF smoke and
ashes. The stream of lava near San
Sebastian is now sixteen feet deer,
The King has gone there to direct
measures for the relief of sthe inhab-
itants. The devastation has been ter.
rible. Thousands Of acres Of farms
and vineyards are overwhelmed with
ashes and lava and buried out ofsight
The loss of life has been great, but
it is impossible to ascertain the ex.
tent. The view of Vesuvius is now
the grandest Witnessed since 1851.
Wednesday, May /.
Great buzzing at Cincinnati last
night. The city is jammed with peo.
pie. The fight for President seems &c
be mainly between Adams and Davis
The friends of Adams appear hardly
so confident. Kentucky's delegation
at a meeting this morning, declared
formally for Trumbull, but seemed in
disposed to contend for any p~articu
lar candidate. At meeting of the
Illinois delegation the friends of Da
Wis, Trumbull, and Palmer made ar
agreement by which Davis will be
entitled to half of that delegation
The other half will be divided be
tween Trumbull and Palmer.
The eruption of Vesuvius yesterdat
was accompanied with fearful electric
phenomena. The lightning is inces
SAINT from the summit of the volcano
and the quaking of the mountain il
more violent and frequent. Th'
thunder is continuous. Burning Gin
ders, stones and sceria are falling fas
and thick in the town OF Massa d
Lomma, which is entirely deserted.

THE Corvallis Gazette, of last week,

THE Corvallis Gazette, of last week,
says:
"A1art. Brown is evidently a little
"skeered." The Democracy of "Old
Linn" like everywhere else, is sadly
demoralized and shows signs of ap-
preaching dissolution"
Now, Billy, what's the use for to go
for to make us feel bad that way?-
You know we never intended it should
be found out that we were really
"skeered,' and nobody but you would
have nosed around and unearthed oul
harrassed pheelinks for the gaze Of
the curious world. OF course we're
"skeered." The certain prospect Of
this county giving three hundred
Democratic majority in June ii
enough to "skeer' us. Don't it?

LIVING PRINCIPLES.

The New York World says: Moth
ing could be more ridiculous and
quixotic than TO expect the Demo.
cratic party, which does represent liv-
ing principles, will disband, when it is
so evident that the rival organization
is moribund, and approaching the last
stages of dissolying %roitenuess and
corruption. The Democratic batter
ingram will be brought to play
against walls which have no longer
any cement and are falling into dilap-
idation. ADemocratic victory cannot
very much displease the Republican
enemies of Grant. In the approaching
contest, we shall be like "A besieging
army which has allies and well-wishers
in the stronghold it is ~assaulting,
though allies who dare not excite a
mutinity in their own camp, lest they
should be overpowered before the as-
sailing outsiders could come TO their
rescue. 4 knowledge of these inter.
nal discussions will infusc new yigor
and hope into the Democratic party.

ST. LOUIS, January 10.-Alcx. Man.
ming, representing himself as deputy
sheriff of Carroll Parish, Louisiana, and
another man giving the name OF T.addy,.
arrived here yesterday from Lake Prov!.
dence, Louisiana, having in charge Harry
Truman, whom they allege is burglar
and murderer, and was an associate of
QuantrCll in the Lawrence, Kansas, mas,
sacre during the war, and for whom, they
state, the Governor Of Missouri offered
$1,000 reward. They lett their prisoner
with Chief McDonough during the day,
saying that they expected the sheriff Of
mn interior county TO come TO take him.
Not having the authenticated papers,
Chief McDonough suspected something
wrong and visited the prisoner in
the Calaboose. lie found him bar
barously ironed. lie Immediately ordered
his shackles removed and heard his story,
from which he (AlcD Donough) believed the
man had been kidnapped, and refused 10
deliver him to his cnptors until they pro.
duced properly authenticated papers. To.
day Chester Harding procured a writ of
habeaS corpus and Truman was brought
before Judge Ewing and discharged, his
captOrs failing to appear to show cause
why he was arrested. The man, whose
real name is J.W. Thurman, states he
was drugged in Lake Providence some
ten days ago, and when he came to his
senses he found himself on board u
steamer loaded down with iron on the
way TO Missouri. 1t appears from the
mans own statement, and from that OF
others who know him, that he was q
Union scout and spy during the war, and
that he rendered valuable service to
the Federal cause He served under Con.
Harding, who was his counsel to-day;
also under Gen. RoscCrans and others in
this department, It is further stated by

Another RaiIrond Project.

Ever since the people of Ohio county
voted the subscription OF 1896 5,005 TO ex.
tend the Panhandle railroad to the city Of
Wheeling, the business men OF Hancock
county are becoming solieitous to have
the road extended north as far as New
Cumberland. The brick interest of that
town alone is a sufficient inducement for
building a road from Holidays Cove 10
Cumberland. The distance Is about ten
miles, through rich and fertile country,
underlaid with an abundance of excellent
coal. From the best information at our
command, we have no doubt that the en-.
tire population Of Hancock county would
favor the project. Indeed, we have been
assured by its most prominent citizens
that any movement looking TO the build.
ing of this road would be hailed with the
liveliest satisfaction by business men and
Others. 1t is expected that meetings will
be called at New Cumberland and Fair
view, where the matter can be discussed,
and measures taken TO bring the project
before the people in its proper light
