FIRsr REPORT OF THE COMMITTEI

EIRsf REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE.
Messrs. H. N. Ogden, Pugh, Hern-
SHIN, Griswold and III. Dudley Cole
man, who visited Washington City in
behalf of our people, haveJust returned
homo.
Other members Of the committe may
be expected to arrive to-day or to-mor-
row. The delegation Of ten remain be-
hind to carry out the objects Of their
mission to the Federal capital.
The delegates whom We have seen,
report that the great difficulty at Wash
ington was to separate the State and
Federal questions involved in this con-
test from the mere personal interest OF
a struggle between Warmoth and KEEL
logg. In Administration circles, In and
out Of Congress, the feeling against the
former was found to be exceedingly
bitter; to such an extent, indeed, as to
causea disposition rather to execute the
violent measures of the Custom House
leaders, backed up by Judge Durell, as
necessary to crush outa foe so much hat
ed and feared.
The efforts of the delegation were
earnestly directed to change this mere
partisan view of the contest; and In this
they were materially assisted by the
previous intelligent, frank and impair
tial lal,ors of Mr.. Ogden, who had been
enabled to inform number of tho lead
ing Republican members of Congress Of
the true state Of political affairs in
Louisiana.
One Of tho most prominent OF those
gentlemen freely admitted to Mr.. Og-
den that ''our condition WAS n bad one"
and tho only question was, what rom
edy to apply to 1t. Another was frank
enough to say that it would be very re-
pugnant to him to have such u condi-
ton of affairs in his own State: and he
oven suggested the point that II the
election of a President of the United
States depends on the electoral vote of
one6tate, (say, for example, Louisiana, }
and q United States judge could act,
unchecked, AZ Judge Durell has done,
tho whole country would inevitably he
revolutionized.
The delegates express themselves
pleased with tho great change in public
sentiment in the North and West as
evidenced by the leading journals,
which at last comprehending the facts
and the law seem to have raised the
question involved In the Louisiana
election and its results, to the broad
ground offuntlametal politics to which
1t belongs; and 1t is strongly hoped
that Congress in turn may feel this re-
action in popular, in telligent sentiment
and opinion.
Whilst these gentlemen, therefore,
have not achieved any direct, immc.li-
ate practical relief, they have planted
tho seeds of a strong reaction in our
favor, and for this good deed they are
entitled to tho warmest thanks OF our
conservative citizenB. Picuys.ne

Among the resolutions passed at Far
mers' Grange in Pontiac, Illinois, were
these:
Resolved. That we recognize as of tie
very first importance in the great ques-
ton of cheapening transportation to the
seaboard. the improvement and connec-
ton by enlarged canals of the natural
water ways to the sea.
Res0lred, That while the sufferings
among the farmers of Illinois and the
West from the want of cheap transpor-
tation are palpable and alarming, and
the freight npon corn to the sea coast
is greater than its price at market, and
while We are anxio lsly looking to any
and all of the proposed methods ofrelief,
we believe that our interests and those
of the whole country require absolute
free trade in ill the materials which are
used in the construction of railroads,
engines, cars and steamships, and that
all laws prohibiting us from buy
ing in the cheapest and selling in
the dearest markets should at once be
repealed.

Is INEBRIEIY ON THE INCREASE PIN
late number of the Contemporary Reriep
Herbert Spencer combats the idea that
inebr;ety is on the increase. He de-
scribes the time when men took drugs
increase their desire for wine; when
glasses were so made that they had TO be
held until emptied; when i man was
reckoned as two-bottle man, or a
three bottle man," ETC.; and when
Mr. Spencer might have aaded) one
of the first of Scottish mobiles employed
a domestic whose sole duty it was to sit
under the table and loosen the neck
cloths of the guests as they fell from the
chairs, in order that they might not suf
focate in their drunken sleep. Intoxl
cation used to be mark of honor. 1t
is now disgrace. Education has driv-
en- the evil from one class af er another.
1t is now almost exclusively confined to
the lowest. As Mr.. Spencer says, the
remedy for it in England is not Il
" Maine-Law, but the introduction of
the education that has banned it else
where.

CAPTAIN JAcK.-A casual remark fall
ng within our hearing from the lips of
passer-by few days ago. led us to
make inquiries, and following up the
thread thus discovered enables rs to
answer the questions which make the
title of-this orticle 1t will be the more
interesting to our readers when We in
form them that the person who gave
Captain Jack his name is an old lady
now living in Portland, who is yearly
seventy years of age. 1t will be OF no
less interest for them to know that the
person after whom he is amed Is
well-known citizen of this place al
though, since the outbreak of the Mo-
dec war and the conspicuous part his
namesake was taking in it. he naturally
sbrank making the same known.
But what we have to say about the
strange affair is based on reliable in
formation and comes from the very best
authority. Yesterday afternoon We
took a First-street car. went as far as
Columbia street, stepped ont, and walk
ed a block toward the river and were
soon making our errand known TO Mrs
Joseph Knott, who gavo us the following
particulars, which we leave to the pub
lie to Judge for themselves. She sub
stantially stated as follows to the Her
ald reporter.
In tie year 1851. while living in Can
yonville. Douglas county an Indian boy
came to their house, and, speaking the
jargon, desired to live with them. He
was one of the Rogue River Indians and
belonged to the tribe then located on
Cow creek. She noticed that he appear
ed to be an active, shrewd-looking boy,
and with the consent of her husband,
took him to raise, with whom he remain
ed for several years. As soon as the
boy vas assured that they intended to
keep him, he insisted on having Dos
ton :" name, as he called 1t, and wished
to be named after the best looking of ,
Mrs. knott's children. This being ap- !
preciated by the mother, she decided to
name him after her son-their ages APP
parently being about the same--and /
this son was j. Knott, better known as
Jack Kuott. of saloon fame. The boys
grew up together. and many were the
days they spent in the sports of the
chase. On one occasion, after he had
been with them some time, he became
offended because he waS told to leave |
the room, and loaded his rifle with the |
intention Of killing Knott, but was dis
covered in season to prevent his designs
This circumstance led to his expulsion
from the family, and from that up to
the present time he has not been seen
by them. except i'll 1S55, the year III
which he murdered Mrs. Harris, after
which Jack went to the Goose Lake
country. His mother was a full sister
to Rogue River John, who attempted to
sieze the steamer Columbia while she !
law at anchor il. the har5or ut Crescent |
City and also half sister to the war chef
Sam. of the same tribe, and of Chief
Joe, who received his arpellation from !
having fought General Joe Lane. All of
these facts and many others that We
have no spacc to mention, were recently |
confirmed by Judge Prim Sf Eastern
Oregon, who communicated these par
ticulars to Mrs Knott. stating that the
Modoc chief, Captain Jack, was the boy
she took to raise i'll 1851 Oregon Her. |
