by our race. I know something OF
the capabilities of the Willamette
valley, and something Of its attrac-
tions, and it is my deliberate judg-
ment that take it, all in all, there is
no spot Of ground on Gods green
earth that compares with it in beau
ty of scenery, fertility of soil and
healthfulness Of climate. If there
is any other portion of our country
that embraces in equal degree these
excellencies, am not acquainted
with it, and / have been over the
best of our continent. Your great
disideration is a market.
/ had desired to say something in
this of your overland communication
with California. / have not space to
do SO, only this far-I consider it OF
secondary importance to your ocean
outlet. That will follow as a matter
of course, as soon as trade and travel
will justify it, and then you can con-
troll it, instead Of its controlling you.
l also intended saying something
in this concerning "Home Manufac-
tures," q am glad to see Oregon is
moving in that matter) and give some
advice to Oregon farmers, as to what
I thought they could turn their at
tention to the best advantage until
they could obtain such transporta-
tion facilities as they desired, but I
cannot think of entering upon those
subjects in this, and 1 will have to
save it for future inhiction.
Allow me, in closing this lengthy
communication, to offend still fur
ture in that particular by adding an
apology: I feel that it is due to
you and your readers on two ac-
counts first for the tone Of assump-
ton that appears to run all through
through it my excuse for this is, that
I feel deep interest in Oregon for
several goodreasons. 1t was my home
in days gone by, and it may be my
home at sometime in the near future
further, have many friends and rel
atives in Oregon, and I claim the
right to talk to them plainly and
candidly. My other apology is to
you and your printers, for the care
less, slovenly way in which / have
written this, but may not trouble
you again in q century, even if you
permit or encourage me to perpetrate
second scrawl of this kind.
Yours truly, Y.

A Topeka, Kansas, dispatch says
that the famous $1,000 package Of
greenbacks, which, it was alleged,
Pomeroy gave State Senator York
two years ago as n bribe to vote for
him for United States Senator, and
which has been in the hands of the
State Treasurer, where York placed
it, and where it has been ever
since, was finally disposed Of yes
terday, the Attorney-General hav-
ing decided that the State had no
right to the money, and the several
legal actions pending for its recovery
having been dismissed the custodian
turned it over to Pomeroy, paying
out Of ii the costs incurred in the
prosecution of the bribery suit
against him, amounting to about 49,
600, This, it is understood, will end
the whole matter, and the criminal
suit now pending against Pomeroy
will be promptly dismissed at the
next term Of the court.

The people Of Eastern Oregon will
stand on their heads with delight
when they hear the good newsl Last
Saturday Mayor Failing, Of Port
land, received the following dispatch
from Senator Jas. K. Kelly:
WAsuINGToN, March 10, 1876.
HON. H. FAILING, MAYOR: NegoIlatlons
with English parties for the construction oi Ihe
p ID. a. S. L, II. r.. have resulted fayoraDly n
contract partly signed and deposited with me
duplicates sent to Europe for further sigma
lures Terms, $1,000 per mile In nrst mortgage
bonds nnd some local and inland labor and
material Parties said to be responsible
j. X. KELLEY.
The Oregonian, Of Monday, says it
has no recollection Of seeing at any
former time during a residence OF
nearly fifteen years in Portland, SO
much happiness expressed in the
countenances Of the people as on the
reception Of this news last Saturday.
That paper adds:
This looks like building the road. ana Win
this come all the benefits OF lively trade, dc.
velopment of material resources, founding OF
manufactured advance OF real estate values
ETC. OF course Portland was happy on receiy-
ing such news, as well 1t might be.
There Is no doubt OF the correctness OF TINS
dispatch. Its high source, settles that at once.
And then came to this city private dispatch
from another source, saying the papers would
ue signed that evening" SO, those who have
expressed the opinion that the news was too
good to be true, will have the pleasant duty OF
revising that opinion.
The amount of local aid expected Is not spec
flied. II Is proably.very considerable, as II rs
hardly very likely such aid would have been
made n material pointiin the preliminary
contract unless II was expected to be sufficient
In amount to lessen the burden OF the enter
prise to some appreclable extent. II is, there
fore, to be presumed there will be before long,
an effort to ascertain how much Oregon ~ Will
ling to help in order to secure direct railway
com mmunication with the Atlantic States.-
When the question comes TO our people In the
shape Of choice, whether they win help to
the extent of their ability, or miss getting the
road, with all its incalculablc benefits to the
entire community, we arc sure they Will not
withdraw their aid. Though that question has
not yet been formally presented TO them, the
telegram of Senator Kelly amounts to notice
that ii Will be presented; and our people may
as well begin TO mako up their minds what
they can do in the premises. In Eastern Ore
gon there WI | be no hesitation, and In this
northern part Of Western oregon there can DC
none. And the enterprise ought TO receive the
hearty encouragement OF all parts Of the state,
MS all must reap great advantages from IL.

AND LOVE is OVER ALL.

Some one ought to make Maggie
Flynn, of st. Paul, MINI, the hero
inc of nice sentimental poem. Her
story is not q long one, but there are
novel points about it, and it is proof
that ''it's love that makes the world
go round" Some time ago Maggie
became engaged to young man in
st. Paul, moving in her own social
circle, and one she loved fondly, as
he seemed to deserve. Maggie had
done nothing wrong, but she had an
enemy in the person Of young man
who may have been an unsuccessful
suitor and he hurt her as woman
can only be hurt, though chaste as
Diana. He put in circulation GER
tain stories about Maggie which in
duced her lover to break off the en-
gagement; and Maggie, poor girl,
lost her reason, and was placed in
the hands of the Sheriff of st. Paul,
to be taken to the insane asylum
Meanwhile, the employers of the
young man to whom the crazed
girl was engaged heard of the case
and ascertained that there was nc
foundation for the stories affecting
Maggie's character, and they pro
posed to right the matter, if possible
The young man, absent on busi
ness trip, was sent for, and was only
too glad to learn Of his error. 1
was resolved that Maggie's love-
should see her, and the hope was en-
tertained that the interview nigh
aid in restoring her to reason. Th'
poor girls things had all beel
packed, and a carriage engaged b.
the Sheriff to convey her to the depot
He was induced to postpone the trip
and then the young man to see tn,
girl he had too rashly forsaken.-
Wandering in her talk, like Ophelia
she was seated in the Sherif's hous,
when her lover entered. In an in
stant, the meaningless prattle ceased
reason came to the clouded braii
through that best Of oil avenues, tn
heart, and Maggie not only recog
nized the man she loved, but becam
her own joyous self again. She ha
been once more entrusted to he
friends and relations. retains he
reason, and isexpected soon to be wei
enough to take the part Of bride ii
a wedding ceremony. Az remarked
in the beginning Of this short story
there is a chance for some one to i'm
mortalize Maggie in verse. The tai
8 q true one in every particular.

A lady in Paris was reading to her
husband, in the presence of her little
daughter, an account of recent
tragic occurrence in which little
boy of eight in fit Of jealousy cut off
his young sisters ear, and the moth
er running to the spot, had, in her
anger thrown the unnatural boy out
of the window, The little girl re-
manned horror struck for an instant,
and then exclaimed; "But, mamma,
she would have done much better to
have thrown out Of the window the
little sister, who was already woun-
ded."

A Washington dispatch of Mon
day says there is now no chance for
Pinehbeck's admission; that the
speech Of Christiancy, Of Michigan,
yesterday, while it made no votes, is
indicative Of the way all new Repub-
lican Senators will vote. The same
special says; In his speech yesterday,
Christionoy showed ho had no great
reverence for Attorney-General Will
liams. In one place he blamed him
as one Of the Presidents bad advis-
ers, and again he made a point in
which he said il was conceded by all
lawyers in America, Gen. Williams
alone excepted, il he might call him
an exception.

Thirteen divorce suits were on the
calendar Of the Common Pleas in
Cincinnati, to be heard by Judge
Murdoch, on Tuesday, Feb. 2S. The
amount Of matrimonial infelicity in
that town seems to be equal even to
that in Brooklyn. We regret to OBJ
serve that this indicates that the local
influences of the wicked partners is
moro powerful than that Of the truly
good man.

Fred. son OF Geo. E. Cole, OF Port
land, accidentally shot himself with a
pistol, the ball entering the left breast
little below the heart, passing be-
tween the bowels and the left lung,
following and wouniing the mem

diaphragm. The ball was found be-
meath the skin, an inch to the LETT OF
the spine, and between the eleventh and

out. It is thought he will recover.
