WILL THE .BULLBTIN" CHARGE y
AGAINL


The persistency with which the
Bulletin reiterates the infamous false
hood, of its own invention, that thf
editor of this paper reioiced ovel
the hanging Of Mrs Surratt, in th'
vefv face of the fact that we have
produced irrefutable proof that the
statement is wholly and absolutely
false, has called forth another letter
ubon this subject. The writer, Hon
j. H. Turner, is high-minded, hon
orable and reliable gentleman and {
practicing attorney at Pendletof
Umatilla county, and was with thf
editor of this paper, on the way tt
Oregon, when the news of the hang
ing of Mrs. Surratt reached us-a'
was also Geo. Humphrey, Sr., Geo.
Humphrey Jf., and DR.. W. Q, Stew
art, now residents Of this city.
The letter ffom Mr.. Turner should
have the greater weight with the pub
lie as he is not supporting the Demo.
cratic ticket, but is an ardent cham
pion of the Independent movement
We herewith submit the letter tC
the careful perusal Of candid pub
lie, and ask them to Judge whether
a journal which would illuminate such
O base lie as this OF the Bulletin, in
regard to ourself, is entitled to credit
in any statement affecting the char
acter or antecedents of any one.
PENDLEToN, Ogn. May 18th 1874.
N. Y. Brotcn, Esq
DEAR S1R$-I see a statement in the
Bulletin Of the 18th instant, in which
you are charged with having been a
Loyal Lacquer, &C., and having re-
ioiced in Iowa, at the hanging Of
Mrs. Surratt.
Surely, the mar that makes q state
ment of this kind must be lost to ev-
cry sense of truth or virtue-must
ever regard it as disgrace to tell
the truth. On the Sd day Of July,
1865, you and I, in company with
our families, and many others, cross
ed the South Platte, in our "prairie
schooners, on our way to this coun-
try. From the 4th to the 10th, we
were on the Cache La Poudre River,
we lay over on the 4th and had a
kind of one horse celebration, fish
ing, &c. The news Of the hanging
Of Mrs. Surratt did not reach us till
about the 10th of August, I was
travelling with you at the time and
know that you we're not in the State
of Iowa, | know furthermore, that
you we're not a Loyal Lacquer.
There was not to exceed two or three
Republicans in the train-one gen
jleman by the name of Dawson, and
he others I do not recollect, Nei-
her did you rejoice over the hanging
II Mrs. SuIratt, but, like every one
n the train most heartily condemned
t.
1 give you thisplain statement feel
ng it duty I owe you, as you have
'een misrepresented SO wildly in this
natter. I wish you success in every
hing but in politics.
Yours in haste.
J. H. TURNER.

"Trv IT."

1ot.ars from Richmond say that the Com
,n;ttee of Courts Of Justice are OF OPINION
that the present plan Of the county courts
!. p. under the act of last session, which de-
Grades those courts to the dust-should have
q q full and fair trial." How very consider
ate! 1t is plan for killing the courts, and
of course it cannot be known that 1t sue
ceeds until the courts are dead. 1t is like
nlan for starvation: Its success cannot be
established until the victim is dead. AND
the doctors may then self-complacently pre-
sent hill in imitation Of the Irish farrier's,
which ran: "For curing your Honor's horse
till he died, shillings."
Oh, it is very fair to try this plan this
plan. In open violation of the Constitution
which is meant to destroy the most impor'
tant tribunal in the State-one that is dearer
and more valuable to the people-more i'm
portant to their immediate necessities and
to their very liberty than any other.
The last canvass in this State was so very
important that it was not deemed prudent to
introduce into it issues that might be dis
pensed with. The county courts and the
abominable law of the last Legislature which
threatened to take all life and vigor out of
them were not discussed. If the people
were to speak out upon the subject there
would be no installing the meaning or the
temper of their language.
We trust the Legislature will not be in
clined in this spirit of moekery to give ga
fair trial" to an unfair and unconstitutional
law that will degrade the most popular OF all
judicial bodies. We trust that better Judg-
ment will govern it on this vital question.

Poor Cuba.

Tbe condition Of Cuba is not only unenyia-
BILE but perilous. The Home Government
is befogged. A civil war RACES in Spin,
which weakens the Government and dis
tracts the people. Cuba has civil war OF
her own that gives her no rest, while the
mother country can render her little assist
anee. The "rebels" have maintained their
resistance for many years, and hold a part of
the island, which cannot be res eaed from
them. - 1"@" a
The domestic peace OF. Cuba is seriously
threatened by fanaticism, which Is spread
ing discomfort and restle$sness amongst the
slave population. The cry Of abolition was
raised BY CASTELAR, in Spain, and spread
rapidly amongst the Spanish Radicals, SO that
Spain herself would abolish slavery. The
Cuban "rebels" are not abolitionists; or,
rather, that is nots part of their pronounced
creed; but in war every expedient that may
help Is resorted to. At any moment that
the slaves may be excited to insurrection
their aid will be welcomed By the rebels.
It is easy to see that the social condition
and the peace of Cuba rest upon the most
much consolation in the fact that the whites
are In, the ascendant. Nevertheless, there
are districts where there are few people
other than slaves, and even in this State there
was once fearful slave instruction, in
which there was an indiscriminate slaughter
ofsiXty-odd men, women. and children.
Instructions and massacres by slaves gen.
orally grow out of the deyilish instigations
OF the superior race. The terrible massacres
in St. Domingo were iustigated by the petty
wars Of the French. English, and Spanish.
Each by turn used the negro in every way it
could; aad finally the wild beast vas LET
loose, and in the carnival of blood which
flowed there was no heIp-no restraining
band. The slaughter was unlimited, heads
were everywhere lifted up on spears, and
the bodies Of babes impaled upon pixies were
borne in theamarches OF: ifends ia human
form. " sai .''sstH i55s:fSs ~t. q

THE COUNTY CoURTs.-Despite the fact
that a call has gone up from half the coun-
ties of the State demanding restoration OF
the county-court system, as intended by the
Constitution, there is little or no reason TO
hope for favorable response OF the part of
the Legislature. fredericksburg Herald.
There is perhaps more concern felt about
the "county-court system" than about any
other one measure now receiving the at
tentiou of the General Assembly.

Give us the old county-court system. It
suits the people best.-- Wytheoille Dispatch.
There seems to be disposition on the
part of the Legislature to continue the
present inconvenient court system. The rea-
son:alleged is that it has not yet had time to
be fairly tested, but we are satisfied that
time will only prove its ineficiency. No
circuit-court judge who values his opinion
would venture to giye.a decision upon case
involving important legal points until he
had time to examine them thoroughly and if
one judge has to ;adjudicate the court bust
ness of arge circuit some part of it must
be necessarily neglected. The county courts
formerly disposed of great deal of the
business which Is now OyercroWding the
circuit judges, and were of as much im-
portance as are the corporation judges, and
in many instances their duties were heavier.
Staunton and Fredericksburg, with barely five
thousand inhabitants, baYe each q corpora
ton judge, while the large counties, such as
Pittsylvania and others, containing five or
six times as many inhabitants, are compelled
to transact their legal business through the
slow-moving machinery of the circuit courts.
we do not see the justice of this, and think
it would be much better TO restore to the
county courts their jurisdiction. Ports
