INTPORTANT DECISIONS.


It will be recollected that when
the DEMocRAf and other papers Of
Oregon urged upon the last liegisla-
ture the duty Of regulating ireights
and tariff on railroads in this State,
tho Bulletin and tho lesser lights OF
Radical journalism sent up most
dismal howl against such "untriendly
legislation as well as argued that
10 ouch right existed in any State
Legislature.
Wo are now glad TO note that two
recent decisions Of the Supreme Court
Of the United States have yindlcated
our position and settled beyond fur.
ther cayil this question. IN . late
case which was appealed from The su,
preme Court of Iowa, it was decided
by the U, s. Supreme Court that q
State has the right to regulate and
fix rates of transportation Of passen-
gers and freights on all railroads with
Ii its borders, and on "Wednesday of
last week the Supreme Court decided
in the case Of Nebraska against the
Union Pacific Railroad Company,
emphatically sustaining the right Of
the State to tax the Pacific Railroad.
This practically decides the California
case against the Central Pacific Rail-
road,
In the light Of those decisions our
people need no longer hesitate 70 APP
ply tho remedy for the railroad oxac-
tions which now threaten TO impose
burdens of great weight upon them.
Let the voters SEQ to it that men are
nominated and elected to the Legisla,
tire who aro k,,olo1i to bo in favor Of
legislation upon this subject, mot
} "unfriendly legislation to railroads,
: but the enactment of Just laws for the
protection Of the people against tho
} extravaganza exaotibhs of au unGetter-
! ed monopoly
: With d bravo executive 10 back
7 such enaottnonts with bis oilicial signa'
+ ture, our people will shortly expert
! ence the effects ofsuch wholesome leg
/ islation.

The above is not the most elegant
heading in the world, but il is emf
nently suggestive Of the subject under
consideration.
Instance: We are gredibly iptorni.
ed that the o. q 9. Railroad Compa-
ny have recently in several instances
absolutely taken from the steamer ar,
irving at Portland consignments Of
freights designed for tiiis city, anil for
which the Willamette River Trans
portation Company loppositi0n) had
bills oflading, and brought them Up
by railroad thus defrauding the steam
boat line Of that to which they were
legitimately entitled aud fcf which,
they had contracted. Ofconrse ITol-
laday's railroad line and Holidays
steamship linehave ommoninterest,
which win account for the manner hi
which this outrageous proceeding was
manipulated 50 successfully
The public can easily SEQ what d
leverage this gives the railroad ovet
the steamboat line.
Another instance; About two
weeks ago rumor was current on
our streets that Teal, Goldsmith y
| Co. had sold out their steamboat line
to Holiday, and the rumor was said
to have come from tho railroad tolc-
graph office in this city, where such a
dispatch was said to have been recuiv-
ed, Of course there was nothing In
1.-The rumor, but it gained currency and
credencc with every passing hreeze,
and for a time MANY Of our citizens
were quite uneasy.
Such proceedings as these can NOT
be too severely condemned, and cor
porations that resort to such meatis u
secure an advantage over q rival
should be utterly condemned and dis
countenanced.
!. The new line Of steamers are attilg
in good faith with the people, and on
ly ask . liberal patronage TO insure
! their continuance in trade, The peo-
pie cannot afford to let the line So
, down, and there is no danger Of such
a catastrophe as long as they do their
! duty bv IL, 2i III

pncoMINe nnAuTIpULLY LESS.


Flaxbrake's chances for conirma-
ton as Chief Justice arc daily beccm-
ing beautifully less. Our latest dis
patches from Washington state that
the Senate's adjournment for the
holidays without acting on Williams
nomination Is ominous Of defeat, be-
cause the voto would certainly have
been pressed If confirmation had been
probable, Ills friends outside, how
ever, still feel confident that the Pres
ident will not withdraw the nom
nation and that the Senate will ulti-
mately confirm him. Only two Nom
bers of the Judiciary Committee at-
lively support bis nomination
Among the present opponents are the
Connecticut Senators, who have
been advised by the bar Of that State
that Williams argument in the Credit
Mobilier case at Hartford was sc
weak as TO be a subject for adverse
comment. If new nomination b.
made, Edwards Pierrpont, Of New
York, is the most prominent now.

4 MERRY CHRISTMAS.

We send greeting a Merry Christ
mas 10 all our friends and patrons,
for although the Christmas sun will
have set before this issue Of the DEM
ocRAT meets all subscribers, yet its
light will be reflected for many days
to come, for like all great festivals,
Christmas lasts an octave at least
Indeed, festivities are not considered
ended till Twelfth night comes, the
sixth Of January And 50 we repeat,
Cd happy Christmas to you ALL" For
Christmas comes all joy and gladuess,
in memory of that holy child at Beth
lehem, who, though equal with God,
condescended to come to this world
and take our nature upon Linn.
In the Incarnation human nature is
glorifod, becouso the Holy one as
sumed that nature. In the image oi
God man was created. That gave
manhood its first glory, but when
Christ assumed the form Of a man
that glory was increased. What {
thought this is to inspire us in oul
aims after true manliness, true nobili
| ty? Let fallen nature be eyer sc
| low, let man SO degrade himself By
gross and animal passions as to be Oh
level with the brute creation, ther'
is still this thought that may lur'
him on to purer, brighter ways
aChrist eunobled manhood by assum
ing vi; let my manhood, therefore
raise itself up to a higher, noble
standpoint
And this is our Christmas greetinI
and our Christmas preachment. W
fiatter ourselves that its greatest vii
tue is its breyity. But it was writ
ten for half sheet, you know.

THE ACE Certain periods of time
are characterized as "the age" For
instance, we have had "the age OF
miracles,' 1--WE do not take them chro-
noIogicalIy, but just as we happen to
think Of themy, and "the age OF won
ders,u the "Augustan age" and "the
golden age;" the "age Of fable" and
the cage Of chivalry" the "age OF
reason,'i and the Sage of ofronlance, ana
Of fsong;i the "age Of invention," and
the sage of improvement" But TINS
period through which we are now pass
ing we should call the sage Of bum
dles,r for go where you will, you
scarcely meet a man, woman or clflld
without 4 bundle in hand, 50 busiiy is
every one engaged in laying in sup
plies for the holidays. On the street
YOU are constantly jostled by the bear
ers of large bundles. AS you come
from shop laden down with bundles,
YOU meet some one having 2 tfew
more Of the same sort" All this
sneaks well for both seller and buyer
1 It shows prosperity in trade, that the
buyer has met with such success in his
Line, that he is able to expend money
| in making some heart glad with q
Christmas or New Years gift, and thus
like mercy, ut is twice blessed, i
bIesseth him that gives and him that
takes.u And SO we say, "Long live
the age of'bundles! May its shadow
never grow lessW
