It is with much pleasure and sat
islaction that we announce the fact
Of the appropriation BY our county
authorities Of the sum OF $4,000 to
assist in constructing bridge across
the Santiam ut Lebanon. The bridge
is ID cost nine or ten thousand dol
lars, but the balance is to e,paid by
subscription and has been already
pledged BY responsible citizens Of
the country in the immediate neigh.
borhood of the bridge site. 1t is to
be constructed on the Smith Truss
plan, and thecohtract is 70 be let to
the lowest responsible bidder.
The terms upon which the appro-
priation, was made is that $4,000 shall
be paid at the complclionoi the bridge
aud the other $4,000 within six months
thereafter. = q ~
The Court appointed Mr.. j. X.
Charlton as superintendent Of the
bridge construction, aud Mr.. G. in
forms us tbatbe will Immediately nd
vertise for sealed proposals and ini.
tiale measures for the early prosecn-
tion 81 The work.
His Honor, Judge Tandy and the
Commissioners, Messrs. Cox and
Porter, have acted with due caution
and deliberation in this matter, and
we regard their final action as reflect
ing great credit upon them as liberal
and ipdicious public servants. The
amount appropriated will scarcely
increase our tax so as to be felt, and
the good it will do win be incalcu-
liable 10 that Sich section Of our coun-
ty adjacent to tho bridge on both
sides Of the river.

RADICAL PRESCRIPTION.


During the late canvass in New
Hampshire Senator Gordon, Of Geor-
giu, and Congressman Z. Q. g. La
mar, Of Mississippi, made several
speeches. They went there upon
the invitation Of the Democratic Cen
tai Committee, but their speeches
we're entiely void Of any thing par
tisan and plead only for justice 70
their secion of the country. They
made no appeals for the election Of
one set Of candidates or the rejection
of another, but they were met only
with abuse by the radical orators and
newspapers of that State. They
we're abused worse than i they had
been pirates intent only on plunder
and murder. and the old time preju-
dices were sought to be aroused by
those men whose only object was to
regain a hold upon the State Of New
Hampshire, Their party has been
magnanimous in theory but when an
opportunity is given for practical
display Of their magnanimity they
are not able to bear out practically
v ID E
their theory.
This was the course Of treatment
they saw fit to adopt and shows
plainly that they will never do any
thing to allay the bitter feeling be-
tween the sections. They will barter
the peace Of the country for a politi-
cal advantage, aud il they arc per-
mitted to retain their hold upon the
country, we shall be practically no
nearer peace four years hence than
now. Suppose that some Of the Re-
publican orators Of the North should
meet with such treatment in The
southern States, what would be the
RESULT A howl Of ontrages would be
raised that would resound from one
end Of the country to the other.
Supposed that John A, Logan-a worse
traitor than whom, in the opening
days of the war, never led o battalion
upon the feld-should be sent to the
South and should be treated in the
same manner as Gordon and Lamar
were treated in New Hampshire. He
would s'let slip the dogs of war and
his voice would be raised for the fur
ther subjection Of that people. Such
treatment is nothing less than an at
tempt to suppress free speech by
mon who are too cowardly to use per-
sonal violence. 1t is the same spirit
which was manifested by the people
of both sections before the war ana
which assisted largely in prccipita-
ting that conflict. When these ami
'mosities shall have passed away, and
when sectional spirit ceases to rule
the country, then and not till then,
shall we have peace that will be
permanent. All others brought about
by the sword or at the sacrifice of
either national or sectional honor,
will be delusive snares. whose foun-
dations are builded in the sand, una
bic to stand conflict or weather a
political storm. When this comes to
pass there will bo no animosities be-
tween sections; there will be no ap-
pealing to old prejudices, and we
shall once more embark upon an era
of political and increased material
prosperity.

WESTWARD IMNnGRATIoN.-T rate
at which emigrants and others are
pouring in upon the Pacific slope,
says the Virginia City Nevada) Chroa-
acis, is unprecedented, and it seems,
indeed, as if the East were going on
a grand picnic to the West. Tour
lists and invalid travellers crowd the
trains, and if the present rate Of
travel keeps up the Central md I'm
ion Pacific people will be forced to
run two trains day. The western
bound train which passed Reno, re-
Gently, was composed Of twenty-four
cars, in two scctions-the largest
passenger train which has passed
over the road since it was completed.

Whenever fresh kiss is discovered
in the Brooklyn trial one of the jury
turns pale, shivers a little and drops
over in fainting fit. The poor man
is brought to by the application of
ice and the smell Of burning feathers,
and there ho heayes long sigh Of
disappointment to find that he must
survive to hear the startling crack Of
other kisses, paternal, fraternal,
friendly, hostile, ingratiatory, decep-
tive, intellectual, accidental, sympa-
thetic and paroxysmal.

The Portland Bulletin and Salem
Slafsamdn, in about the same breath
with their announcement Of Col.
LaDow's death, attempt to foment
personal and political strife over the
Congressional succession to his now
vacant seat. This is d shameless
piece Of business and one which we
scarcely believed the editor Of the
Salesman, at least, would be caught
at. ltis a burning shame that these
political ghouls cannot let az least
one little woek ofmourning and con
dolence go BY after the death Of our
lamented Congressman without
scheming, planning and sQuabbling
over his vacant shoes. ~

OFFICIAL PAPER FOR 0REGON.
nExTn 81 coNcnnsssfAN Ia DOW.


The telegraph brings as the sad
tidings Of tho death Of Hon. Geo,
A. LaDow, which occurred AZ his
home in Pendleton, Umatilla eoun-
ty, on last Saturday morning at 2
o'clock, tho cause being rheumatism
Of the heart, to which Mr.. LaDow
has from time to time been subject
for several years past.
It will DO remembered that ho was
elected to Congress last june, by the
Democracy Of Oregon, but as the
session to which he was a member
will not meet until next December
he did not live to take his seat, just
as was the ease with Hon, J. s. viii
son who was elected by the Republic
cans two years previously Mr.. La
Dow's death will necessitate the
holding Of special Congressional
election, which we suppose will be
ordered by His Ezcellency, Gov.
Grover, to occur sometime during
the coming autumn. al
Hon. Geo A. LaDow was not o
brilliant man and his statesmanship
was not sufficiently established to
warrant us in ascribing to him that
distinguished title; and yet he was q
good man and true and noted among
his friends and acquaintances foT
his strict honesty and probity Of
character and his undertaking adher-
ence to sincere truth and manly in
tegrity. All Of these sterling attri-
butes made him eminehtly fitted to
represent our people in the halls Of
the national legislature just at this
critical period in our country career;
hence his sudden death must be
looked upon as d public calamity as
we'll as a party misfortune and a
great grief to his stricken family.
May he rest in peace.

Of about the same Importance to the
people Of the State and this part Of

will now call ON the people on the
line OF this proposed canal to inves-
tigate fer themselves the Importance
of this thing in the direction of AL
bany, the distance would be about 40
miles through one Of the finest agri-
cultural districts in the world, it
would run through a wheat field al

cient amount to run down Muddy to
make it q good healthy stream, but
Dr.. I'll. says there is several large
streams on water crosses to cross to
get TO Albany. I would say to the
Doctor that we propose to head
Main Muddy, then We have what we
call Dry Muddy to cross which is
about 80 or 40 feet wide, next is Cal
ipooia which is 100 OF 125 feet at
a favorable place, that is the several
large streams to be crossed. Allow
me to say to the people of Halsey
and Shedds, if you want water call
for and pay for it and it is yours. IL
isaccessable. And to the enterprising
people Of the most enterprising town
in the Willamette Valley, the town
Of Albany, do you want this water
now OF do you think you ever will
want it If you don't wantth water
do YOU want the business that it
would make for your town as soon as
this work was completed, but l am
at a loss to know Mr.. Editor whether
your people want this canal to ter
inmate at Albany or at Harrisburg,
for you took some pains 20 recon-
mend to the favorable consideration
of your readers the very able and
we'll written letter Of DR.. Hendrix,
and he advocated the terminus at his
town Harrisburg. Youand your town
may wantit at Harrisburg but ten to
one of the people in this vicinity
want it to 60 to Albany.
