Reverend Campbell and Timothj
Davenport, Esquire, have one ad,
vantage Of Governor Grover. Neither
OF the gentlemen have a public rec.
ord OF sufficient Importance to fur.
nish the Governor d theme upon
which to devote the briefest comment.
1t is true, that Timothy was once q
member of the Oregon Legislature,
but at the dictation of George T.
Woods he deserted his post and ran
away, leaving only record Of duties
unperformed. But those acquainted
with Timothy are familiar with the
history Of that episode in his cafeer.
Ii only cost the people of Oregon
300 'oOo to make that slight blunder
OF our bran-bread philosopher all
right. Governor Grover sometimes,
incidentally, refers to this, but Tim
othy.p being a truthful man, never
controyerts the point, hence no ar
gument is elected.
Our ecclesiastical friend, Campbell,
is Literally without record. It is
absolutely provoking to attempt any
remarks in regard to him. He is like
q kite without tail, or tail without
o kite-we are at loss to determine
which. It is consoling, however, to
reflect that he is making a record and
5he future journalist who essays to
write him up will have something
5angible from which to draw infer
'nces and collate facts.
Governor Grover, having held
many responsible positions during
period Of twenty-three years resi-
lence in the State, the duties Of
which he ever faithfully performed,
las necessarily made a record; no !
ublic man can boast of fairer one.

MAKE HASTN SLOWLY

The continued backwardness of the
spring has interfered greatly with the
operations of the farmers. This is
especially true in regard to those eul-
tiyating lands inclined to be wet. and
suitable only for spring grain.
Though the seeding season is we'll
nigh spent, there is more danger Of
a failure of the crops yet to be sown
through haste to get the seed in the
ground than from any other cause.
1t is much wiser to wait until the last
week in May, and SOW grain in ground
IN good condition, than to scatter it
IN the mud before that time. Where
farmers have the Golden Sonora to
SOW this is decidedly the case. Many
Of the best fields of spring wheat,
grown IN this county last year, were
'own with the drill OF broadcast
'eeder, after the middle of May.
Many of our best practical farmers
With whom we have conversed on the
ublect, are of the opinion that there
; more fear of short crops from un-
lue haste to get the seed in tba
round, than from any other cause
t is sometimes best to make haste
lowly.

WILL THE PEOPLE sUBrrIr.

The Legislature Of Wisconsin, at its
last session, passed law regulating
the freight and passenger tariff on
railroads throughout the State
The st. Paul and Northwestern rail
road companies held meeting
and resolved to pay no atton-
tention to the law, but to continue
their exorbitant charges despite the
constitutionally expressed will of the
people, A dispatch of May 2nd
states that Governor Taylor has
issued proclamation in reference to
the resistance of railroads to the new
railroad law. "He says: "The com
potency of legislation to regulate
railroads is conceded, yet theSt. Paul
and Northwestern Companies have
announced their determination to op-
crate their roads without reference
to the provisions of the act. This is
ut once o source Of profound regret.
and in marked contrast with the pa-
tience and submission exhibited bv
the people in the presence of what
they have deemed unjust and bur
densome exactions Of railroad COM
panies in tho past, and if persisted

ness and greatly imporil tho indus

iion concludes as follows; II there

BENTON COUNTY.


Gov, Grover, accompanied by M.
V. Brown, left this city last Monday
morning for Corvallis, where the re-
spective candidates for Governor
were announced to speak. Messrs.
Tolman and Campbell were already
on the ground when they arrived,
and at the appointed hour the speak
ing commenced. Tolman repeated
the same little speech he made at
this place on the Saturday previous,
with about the same result.
Reverend Campbell was somewhat
demoralized. InQrdinate desire to
be Governor seemed to have wrought
in him all manner of concupiscence,
so to speak, and the Reverend gen
tleman appeared to be in the gall of
bitterness. He was evidently in any
thing but that quiet, heavenly frame
of mind which lends dignity to his
sacred calling. Having been forced
to cease repeating number of base
falsehoods in regard to Gov. Grover,
no was at a loss for something to say
N their stead.
Every one who heard him conced-
I'd that Gov. Grover was even more
han ordinarily successful in his re-
marks. Two or three old political
lacks, who lead the Independent
noyeinent in Benton county, were
andled by the Governor in man
er which delighted the audience and
arried confusion into the Independ-I
Mt camp. Democrats are sanguine
the belief that they will be able to ]
Iect their whole county ticket in 9
enton, and the State ticket is GER q
lin to receive good majority in
lat county. Both the Independent i
i'd Republican .Rings are losing a
'ound daily. The character of the Y
aders of the Independent move = =
ent in Benton county is sufficient
insure the defeat of any cause, el
'wever just and meritorious, and al
Q people are rapidly awaking to
use of this fact. a'

a Po1Nr SETTLED.

The opposition press Of the Stat,
have been pcrsistently circulating an(
insisting upon the falshood that ther,
was unaccounted for S5S,OOO Of tn,
convict labor product 6f the past twc
years Of the present administration
The Rev. Campbell had been assert
ing this falsehood, though constantly
refuted by the record, until the State
canvassers for Governor reached
Eugene City, when the same was re.
peated by Campbell.
Gov Grover in reply, carefully
read the law requiring that the pro-
ceeds of the convict labor, and the
labor itself should be placed at the
disposal Of the Commissioners elect
ed to construct the new prison, and
by them should be receipted for, and
be used in the construction of the
building. He then produced the Of
ficial report of the committee ap-
pointed by the last Legislature, a
Republican body, to examine and re-
port upon the work of the Building
Commission and the management Of
the Penitentiary, and read from the
same, the following clause:
Secondly, we find that the Super
intendent has furnished the Commis-
sioners, as per printed report, mate
rails, cash and convict labor to the
amount of 58,O15.31, all of which
has been appropriately and adyan-
used"
This report, on full consideration,
was adopted by the Legislature.
The Governor then turned upon
his competitors and said: "This
s full refutation Of the falsehood
nat has been constantly asserted by
ny opponents, and there is no an
wer to it. Had the Superintendent
lone what the gentleman says he
hould have done; sshad he accounted
. the State Treasurer instead of the
commissioners, he would have vio-
tied the clear letter of the law. The
either does not under t
and the logic of facts, and the l
lain statute Of the State, and is q s
lnce, or he is willfully endeavoring {
mislead the people. / desire to t
y that I have made this complete v

ed that the $4,000 had been ac- R
lnted for according to law. ar

FROM SOUTHERN OREGON.

We We're pleased to meet our frient
and fellow townsman, A. @. Jones
Esq, on last Thursday, after his re-
turn from trip to Coos Bay and vi
cinity, for recreation and health. He
is looking much recuperated and is
ready to attend to the business of
his profession with renewed vigor.
Mr.. Jones informs us that the De-
mocracy are awake to the Importance
of the issues Of the present canvass
and will give n good report from
Southern Oregon at the polls in June.
The unscrupulous attacks which have
been made against Governor Grover
by the opposition have caused his
friends to redouble their efforts in
his behalf, Southern Oregon will
roll up a handsome majority for the
whole Democratic ticket.
The coal and numbering interests
n Coos county were never in a more
prosperous condition than at present.
Several new coal banks are in pro-
'ess Of development and will add
heir products to the growing
Of the State.
Emigrants are constantly arriving
n Empire City, and the country gem
rally shows unmistakable signs Of
rospenty.

COL. GEORGE A. La DOW.

AS we have received sundry letters
from the Willamette Valley enquir-
ing when Col. La Dow will be there
and talk to the people, we deem it
right and proper to say that for some
days past COL La Dow has been quite
closely confined to bis room by sick
ness. For a few minutes on last
Thursday he was out on the streets;
but he is not now in any proper con
dltlon to enter upon political cam
paign. Nor do we believe that un-
der the most favorable circumstances,
he can SO far recover his normal con-
dltion as to warrant bis engaging, to
any considerable extent, IN the labors
and conflicts of the coming political
canvass. 81.
The above is from the Tribune Of
May 3D., which is published in Pen
dleton, the home of Col. La Dow
we deeply regret that anything
should have, occurred to prevent the
Colonel from joining in, the canvass.
The opposition press will of course
attempt to make capital out Of this
unforeseen and unavoidable dispensa-
lion, but the people who are governed
BY higher and more generous motives
md impulses, will not fail to properly
appreciate the situation. Col. La
Dow is man in every respect able
o measure lances with either, or
10Th of his opponents, and we shall
till hope that he may recover so far
S to be able to address the people on
bis side of the mountains before the
anvass is ended.
