Tenure of Office.

While we, as citizens of Territory,
can have no voice in our national affairs.
yet it may be fortunate. in this: That
we have more time to attend to our own
immediate concerns; to purify our own
body polite. Reform in the admins
tration of public affairs is the universal
cry. and upon this theory the trammels
of party and of party discipline are be-
ing thrown off, party distintions are
being laid aside. and the great majority
of al, parties will unite in the one pur-
pose of placing in Office only those hav-
ing the prerequisites of honesty and
capability.
That complete and radical change
in our own county affairs is absolutely
necessary, there can be no doubt.
The statements of the officials them
selves, are sufficient to ests bllsh this
fact..even if other evidence was want
ing. The cause is plain, a long contlnu-
anee of the same men in Office lnvarla-
blv tends to corruption: there IS no
, 1872-09-19

chance for satisfactory investigation
of their official acts; they assume "pre-
negatives" and to rule and dictate to
their masters, and finally end by them
selves becoming the slares of tEeir own
former corrupt instrument, who in their
turn, claim the offices, to dispose of
them to the highest bidder. The remedy
for all this is plain: By legislative en-
actment, all executive and fiduciary Of
ficers should be ineligible to the same
Office for more taan two consecutive
terms; in this way all official acts, espe-
cially those pertaining to finance, will
uece ssari!y be received, at least once in
four years, thereby removing, to great
extent, temptations to malfeasance and
speculation. Let r,form commence no~,
selecting such men for office as are hon
est and capable, regardless of former
party affiliations, and above all, elect
such representatives to the next legisla-
ture as will advocate the passage Of IL
law limiting the term of Office.

OREGON SENAToE.--They are having
their usual excitement in the Oregon
Legislature over the election ola United
States Senator. TIE most prominent
candidates are Corbett and Mitchell, the
Attorney of Holiday, with the Railroad
influence to back him. and believed 1T
the beginning of the canvass to have a
decided majority of the Republican
members, which now aAears to be
doubtful. The Bulletin, Holiday or
gan, of Sept. 10, says "the Corbttt Re-
publicans and the Democrats entered
into a combination yesterday afternoon
for the purpose of defeating the perma-
nent organization of the Senate, and
thereby throwing the Senatorial election
off for two weeks"
A majority of the members of both
Houses subsequently held conference,
of which the Bulletin says
AT the conferenceCorbett developed
IL strength that surprises his opponents
and caused some of Mitchell's friends
to feel less sanguIne than heretofore.
They, however, are willing to stand BY
the decision of the caucus. as they orig
inally urged it and it is the established
usage of the party. There has been no
vote taken on the Senatorial question,
and 1t is not known exactly what
strength the candidates have; but there
is one thing plainly evident, and that is
that several persons supposed to be for
Mitchell have turned up III the Corbeti
camp. One member from Marion coun-
ty and another from Lane county, elec-
ted as Mitchell men, have gone over
to Corbett, causing their friends sincere
regret. During the d y, yesterday,
there were MANY rumors that Mr. Brown,
of Marion, had gone over to the Gree
leyites, and at one time threats were
made by citizens Of Salem of burning
him in eff "; but better councils
prevailed and nc attempt at anything OF
the kind was made
The Bulletin further SAYS:
Last night and this morning there
has been some very ugly rumors atioat
concerning bargain being made be-
tween the Democrats and Corbatt mana-
gers, by which. in consideration of the
support of the Democrats. he MIR. Cor
bett) agrees to come out, work for and
support Greeley and Brown. l confess
that the rumors are of Il character to call
upon my largest credulity, but there
are, as you well know, stranger things
than even such combination; and as
politics makes strange bed fellows, there
is no telling where those who want Of
flee will turn up. But if such bargain
has been made. We warn those who have
engaged in it to halt and consider where
they are drifting

success OF the concert were Mme De Lussan,
Fossati. Miss Clarke created quite a favor

In a recent letter from General Burt, Postmaster

OF the incidents OF the great fire, which were
graphically reported in the HERALD, that gentle
man uses the following language, which, though
somewhat disquietng, is nevertheless timely, il
not entirely cOrrect:-
You are exposed to q similar confagration in
New York any day, and steam fre-engnes are en-
tirely unequal to the high, deep buildings Of New
York; as they were here. All that saved
the Sub-Treasury and State street was the
use OF powder, and II we could have
had 1t in sufficient quantities even at two O'Clock
your people get any false ideas you must be pre-
pared to use powder in not less than four hundred,
i've hundred or six hundred pounds for your large
warehouses, and your fremen must be ready to

MATHUSHEK PIANO

Concerning which we wish to say
that never before has any Piano
been subjected to such severe
tests.
The Scale is radically different
from any other, and is so ingeni-
GUS in its construction, and pro-
duces such wonderful power and
purity of tone, that it has sttrac-
ted the attention and admiration
Of connoisscurs and critics to such
degree that Dealers in other
Pianos have been obliged in self
defence to resort to many and
very severe animadYersions con-
corning its qualities and claims;
nevertheless after seven years of
thorough trial, it has more than
indicated the highest hopes of
its friends and stands to-day be-
yond criticism and without a
rival.
