AT CoRyALLIs.-Circuit Court is in
session at Corvallis this week, Judge
Prim presiding in place of Judge
Thayer, who is very sick. Several of
our Albany Attorneys went over early
in the week to advertise themselves
and to pick up any loose crumbs that
might be lying around-one of them
wearing one of \. Baum's latest i'm
portations of "stove pipe hats" The
first night cur Albany Attorney spent
in Coryallis-and by the way it was
his first visit to the town-one of the
Corvallis lawyers who was possessed of
plug, too, but one of more ancient
date, became fascinated with and cap
tured the Albany hat, and left his old
plug for our Albany lawyer, who took
the joke philosophicaIly, informed the
Sheriff of his misfortune, who soon
brought the new hat to light, and to
his credit be it said made no Charge
for the services.

FARMERS GRANGEs.-The farmers
secret society, known as the Grange"
we understand is being instituted
in some sections of our State, and Linn
county is to have its Oranges shortly.
This is an organization of considerable
power in the southern and western
States, and is daily growing more for
midable. The object of the society Is
to advance the agricultural interests.
We are told that it strongly urges a
reduction of the tariff on iron and
steel, cotton and wooden articles, and
favors other changes having a tendency
to benefit the farmer. If this is the
spirit and intent of the Grange we
hope every farmer in Oregon will
speedily become initiated into its
that all may assist in pro-
noting its virtuous aims.

How 1T WAS SETTLEp.-A feud has
existed between a pair of Campbeflite
brothers who reside few miles from
this city, and, they met IN town the
other day, when Bro. Nc. proposed to
Bro. Dave that they should go outside
of the corporation and fight it out
NO. says Bro. Dave, 1--WE arc both
faithful Brethren of the church, and we
will settle it inside the church, letting
the Lord act as judge.n. But Bro. Nc.
was full of wrath, and insisted that the
Lord should have nothing to with this
fight--they must have It out them
selves. So Bro. Dave reluctantly
yielded and they passed quietly be-
yond the city limits, just below town,
and, stripping their coats, prepared for
combat. Bro. Nc. who wouldn't leave
the matter to the Lord, made pass ut
his antagonist, but Bro. Dave quickly
thrust his fist forward and Bro. Nc.
went over backward like he had been
struck by pile-driver. Bro. Dave
didn'tneglecth his advantage,b but mount
ing astride of Bro. Me-, he showered the
blows of his ponderous right fist upon
Bro. Mes. PROSTATE person until his
groans began to answer the blows,
when Bro. Dave stopped for breath
and Bro. Nc. tremulously and timidly
said that he believed he would now
''leave the matter with the Lordp'-
This satisfied Bro. Dave and he arose
and went piously on his way, while
Bro. Me. crawled of, looking as If he
had just been vomited forth by one of
the most violent eruptions of Mount
NesuVius.

SUMMERS DENIAL.

Senator Sumner has authorized a
denial of current report that he is
preparing a letter to the Massachu-
sets Legislature in vindication of
the resolution introduced by him in
the United States Senate at the be
ginning of the session, in favor of
the disuse of flags bearing the names
of battles fought during the civil
war. The Senator is wise. If it
was proper to place these names on
the flags at all, it is right that they
should remain there until the prop
er time comes for taking them off
again. That this period has not
yet arrived is sufficiently evident
from the tone and temper of nearly
the whole Democratic press, North
as well as South. True 'sreconcilia-
tion'' involves a reciprocity of kind
ly thought and feeling. The loyal
people of the country have gone far
enough in condoning the rebellion
and the crimes of those who engaged
in it. Let the latter bring forth
some slight fruits meet for further
magnanimity before demanding the
exercise of it.

PASSAGE AT ARMS.

In the Senate on Thursday there
was lively passage at arms betwe en-
Senators Conkling and Schurz, which
sprung up during the Caldwell ex-
pulsion debate, though the personal
controversy had no reference to that
matter. Conkling charged Schurz
with having been paid two hundred
dollars speech for his speeches in
the late campaign, which Schurz
branded as lie, and the man who
made it a liar; and further retorted
that Conkling had taken a $4,000
fee from the Central Pacific railroad
to look out for it's interests. This
in turn, ,Conkling branded as a lie
and authorized Schurz to call the
man who said it (meaning Schurz
himself) liar. After disclaimers
and compliments on both sides, the
offensive epithets were withdrawn
but before the debate ended, bad
blood again got the betterof the bel
icose senators, and both withdrew
their apologies and let'the lie"stand
uncancelled. Evidently it is time
the Senate came to a vote on the
Caldwell case and adjourn. Why
don't it?

STEEL RAILS.

Railroad Companies are procuring
steel rails for their roads as rapidly
as possible. Economy is the stimu
lating cause. The iron rails of the
present day are very inferior in
quality and do not endure half the
wear of the rails made few years
ago. The best iron rails which can
now be produced do not last on an
average more than five or six years.
The rails made at an early day in
Railroad business contained the
best quality of iron, and would last
from twenty to thirty years. Renew
ing the iron upon the roads every
five years involves an enormous ex-
pense,to say nothing about the loss
es by accidents resulting from poor
rails. 1t Is claimed that one steel
rail will outlast ten Of iron. The
London d Northwestern, and the
Philadelphia & Baltimore Railroads
each report having had steel rails
that outlasted sixteen iron rails
that were subjected to precisely the
same traffic. The cost of the renew
al of iron rails is such that, estima-
ting the life of a steel rail to be forty
years-a moderate estimate saw
ing of $4,040, a mile would be eff
fected by laying steel, even were the
best iron rails offered as a gift.

COSTLY cARELESSNEsS.

A Washington special says. The
Legislative, Executive and Judicial
bill proves, upon analysis, very
peculiar piece of legislation. The
Presidents salary according to the
appropriation made, amounting to
$4,000. First the old salary is ap-
propriated, and then the increased
amount without cancelling the old
sum. The President noticed this in
an examination of the bill, and
called attention to it, but as it was
too late to rectify the error, he sta
ted that he would allow the amount
of the old salary to remain and al
low it to be conveyed back into the
Treasury. This same defect has been
discovered with regard to other
officers.
