Horton, in common with many OF. the
largest taxpayers Of the county, signed
a call upon the Auditor. to asesant for
the expenditure of tas money which his
well-kept books ..,asf his official report
showed to have been assessed upon the
taxpayers and had not been accounted
for. If there was any wrong in this, it
was in signing the first report upon o

of the Oregon Legislature, with the aid

ported the books of the Secretary and

five indictments were found against the
Secretary for embezzlements previously
committed. There is no telling what

astonishment and regret that we read
your insulting letter in the last issue
of the Iateligencer in reply to a respect
full request of taxpayers Of this county,
making it necessary for us to reply
thereto.
In the first place you ignored the re-
quest Of the undersigned taxpayers,
and seem to have some trouble with
Beriah Brown, Esqr., and go off in a
tangent for him in the shape Of billings
gate. etc. We, as citizens of the county,
very much dislike to read any such re-
ply as you have deened proper to make
in answer to our request, as your trou-
bles with Mr.. Brown are nothing to us,
and further your remarks seem to insin-
uate that Mr.. Brown was the instigator
of the request we made Of you. Mr..
Brown never saw that request until it
was handed to hin, for publication.
You say the only evidence you have
that such petition ever originated
is its appearance in the DISPATCH and
in the next breath you say that In con-
versation with three of the signers. you
ind ont that they were enticed into the
plot. Now, in the name of common
sense, how do You reconcile these two
Numerically opposite statements p
Echo answers. And what do YOU call a
plot ? Do you ca | respectful public
request a plot ? If SO. we respectfully
beg to differ with you in that respect
You say part were enticed into the
plot, and you have evidence that several
more were honest in their intentions
and signed the thing" Gas you call it)
in good faith. Thus you, by implic 'tion
at least. call majority of the signers
dishonest. Is that gentlemanly Is
it just We leave these questions for
the people to decide.
In regard to the request you say, the
only reason you can assign for not re-
ceiving it from the hands of the origina-
tors " in the ordinary way, by presenta-
tion," etc. Now in regard to this mis-
representation we will say, you ought to
know and We think you do know, (your
assertion to the contrary notwithstand-
ing) that all such requests. being pure
ly of a public nature, are uniformly
made public by being published in one
or more newspapers.
One sentence more and we are done.
Perhaps upon mature consideration we
ought to apologize for our presumption
in making so unreasonable a request,
and admit that we, the sovereign people,
have no rights an Auditor is bound to
respect. Perhaps the people may con-
clude to appoint an individual who will
make a full statement of the county
finances if yon will not do 80.
Yours respectfully.

KING Caucus DErHRoNED State elec-
tlons, show that the people are becom-
ing more and more independent of eau
Gus and party tyranny. 1he election of
Senator Ill Connecticut was cfear tri-
unph over caucus, and the late elections
in Oregon show many Instances In
which party tramels were utterly cast
aside. In Jackson, one of the strong
est Democratic counties in the State,
two Republicans are elected out Of the
three members of the Legislature. In
Marion, the heretofore banper Republi-
can county, Democrat is elected Coup-
ty Clerk by over three hundred majority.
These are hopeful signs that caucuses
aud conventions can no longer be used
to defeat the popular sentiment.

Aged 27 years and months.''
In this tomb were a chair, workstand
and workbasket. The basket was filled
with spools of thread, needles, scissors,
tatting, etc. Thus the grave was made
to look homelike. There are few things
that speak more highly for the culture,
civilization and true Christianity of a
people, than their care for the dead
If our burying grounds are made beauti-
full and attractive, by skill and taste, it
speaks well for us. If they are fenceless,
pathless, fowerless, cherries and deserted
by all the living, then it tells badly for
our taste and refinement. Churches and
Cemeteries are the moral thermometers of
a community. The pulse does not more
truly indicate our physical health, than
these do our moral and social condition.
If the Churches are dilapidated and the
dead neglected, you had better take the
necessary precaution to lock your door,
and be assured if the penitentiary is not
doing thriving business that it ought to
be.

EDITORS HERALD AND TRIBUNE:
In Ruhama Sunday School, near
William Mills on Lick Greek, Greene
County, premium was offered few
weeks ago to the scholar who would CON-
NIT to memory the greatest number of
verses of scripture in the next six months.
A spirited contest was at once commenced.
But little girl named Rehecca Graham,
caused all the others to despair of success.
She is nine and half years of age; her
father doesn't know his alpha bet; and
her mother can hardly read intelligibly.
On the FIRST Sabbath after the contest
commenced, she repeated IS verses; on
the 2nd, 55 on the Sd, ia; on the 4th,
272; on the 9th, she committed 145
chapters, beginning Acts III. and ending
with Revelations II, inclusive. For want
of time and strength she only repeated
1878 verses. But her teacher had no
doubt she could have repeated the balance.
She could at any time tell the number of
verses which she was repeating. We
know the parties upon whose authority
we have made the above statement and
the witnesses numerous and reliable.

weather Wisdom.

A rainbow in the morning gives the
shepherd warning. That is, if the wind
be easterly; because it shows that the
cloud is approaching the observer.
A rainbow at night is the shepherds de.
light. This is also good sign, provided
the wind is westerly, as it shows the rain
clouds are passing away.
Evening red, and next morning gray
are certain signs of beautiful day.
When the glow worm lights her lamp
the air is damp.
IF the cock goes growing to bed he GER
tainly rises with a watery head.
When you see gossamor flying be
sure the air is drying.
When black snails cross your path,
black clouds much moisture hath.
When the peacock loudly bawls, soon
we will have both rain and squalls.
When ducks are driving through the
barn that night the weather takes turn.
If the moon shines like silver shield
be not afraid to reap your field.
But if she rises haloed round; soon
well tread on deluged ground.
When rocks are sporting the air, il
shows that windy storms are near.
If at sun rising or setting, the clouds
are lurid red color extending nearly tc
the zenith, its a sure sign of squalls and 9
gale of wind.

OPEN THE DOOR.

Open the door for the children
Tenderly gather them in
In from the highways and the hedges,
In from the places of sin.
Some are so young and so helpless,
Some are so hungry and cold
Open the door for the children
Gather them into the fold.
Open the door for the children
See they are coming in throngs-
Bid them sit down to the banquet,
Teach them your beautiful songs!
Pray you the FATHER to bless them,
Pray you that grace may be given;
Open the door for the children
''Of such is the kingdom Of heaven
Open the door for the children,
Take the dear lambs by the hand
Point them to truth and to goodness
Send them to Canaan's land.
Some are so young and so helpless,
Some are so hungry and cold
Open the door for the children
Gather the III into the fold.

gusting humps upon their backs, and big

The Young Widow.

A census-taker. in going his round,
stopped at an elegant brick dwelling house,
the exact locality of which is no business
of ours.
He was received by stiff, well-dressed
lady, who could we'll be recognized as a
widow of some years's standing.
On learning the mission of her visitor,
the lady invited him to take seat in the
hall. Having arranged himself into a
working position, he inquired for the
number of persons in the family of the
LADY,.
''Eight. SIR" replied the lady. "includ-
ing myself"
Very well your age, madam %

piercing, dignifed look. 81 conceive

"out i'm the Country"


There is something good and thoughtful
in this, from one of Brick Pomeroy's Sat
urday Nights
Out in the country is the place to study
God and man, and men and mindsi God
made His word but one grand church,
with mountains for steeples; prairies for
floors brooks and leaves, and flowers and
fruits for sermons with birds for musi-
clans the seasons for emblems. Happy
those who live in such churches, and do
not suffer their souls to be wrapped and
their minds to be swaddled like mummies
for the benefit of those who deal in reli-
gious or fanatical bandages.
Out in the country is our bible! Its
leaves are opened on the hillsides-its
texts are in the valleys-its headlines on
the mountain tops-its great lessons and
beautiful truths are everywhere proclaim
ing that there is an ocean beyond. the
rivera mountain beyond the hills-a
prairie beyond the plain-a city beyond
the village life and work beyond the
grave-a blissful reward beyond our heart

come after CHS Saturday Night,
