LEGISLATIVE SwIN9LE.-A law has been
smuggled throughthc Legislature that most-
if not quite, doubles the pay of prosecuting
atterneys for the several judicial districts.
Under the law thai has existed for the past
ten years the pay of the prosecuting atsor-
neys three in number, was placed at $1,000
per annum, or total of $1,000. At this rate
they were well pad for their services, and
We have heard of no good reason for doubling
their compensation. The orly explanation
is, that the legislature is in great p-rt made
up of rosues who Cannot resist the tempta-
ton to swirdle the people. A gentleman who
is in Attendance upon the legislature writes
us that {. the honest members are constantly
engaged in Fl iyhtins thiering bills that daily
come up ior consideration ard thus it Is
that those who mean well are unable to ac-
complish 50 little for the interests Of the ter
ritory"

The Sexenfh.Dax Adyentists.

This people have been holding general
meeting in this city the past week IN then
house Of worship, for the pcrYoee OF organ
izino Conference. Twelve delegates were
present, representing churches at Walla
Walla. Milton, DAYTON, and Portland, Salem,
and Eola Of Western Oregon. The meeting
was complete success IN the direction ior
which It was convened. Perfect union pre-
vailed, and nota de,sntin. Toiee or vote was
manifested through .he entire meeting.
A conference was completely organized,
COMPRISING all of the state OF Oregon and
Washington territory. When this people
first started their mission in this field threc
wears and half ago, there was partially
orpanized church near this city of only
eighteen members. Now they have five or.
canized churches and about three hundred
converts to their faith. They have no set'
tied ministers over their churches, but their
organization is such that their churches
keep up regular metingsand seem TO prosper
well. Up to the time of the meeting Eider
Van Horl was the only minister IN tins mis-
sion, and but one hcentitate now they nave
two ordained ministers, and hive icentiates
A Tract and Missionary Society was Or
ganized in connection with the conference
by which every member is furnished with
publications at reduced rates, to hand ont to
their friends and neighbors. A fund for the
purpose of paying for these publications was
started, and 500, was pledged on 1t IN tliis
place to be paid between this and the inst OF
January next At the same time stock Was
taken in the publishing house at OAKLAND,
California, to the amount Of $3.50 Besides
the above there was pledged by the 'WaIIa
WalIa church alone, systematic benevolence
and for its individual missionary work over
S475 per year.
The devotional exercises were encouraging
to all the friends of the cause, and inspired
new zeal and courage in their hearts to push
forward the work. Three were added to the
church, and about dozen others came for
ward for prayers. Resolutions were passed
on various points, and one, which related to
the fact that not death has occurred iii the
membership of the entire mission since it
started, called forth a feeling and hearty re-
sponse from all On the whole the meeting
was complete success in every particular.

ALMOST MURDER-A gentleman who
happened to be at Pendleton last week and
witnessed the row between NJ. p. Bull and
the keeper OF livery stable named Bowman,
describes the encounter as thrilling affair.
1t seems that Bowman had made improper
advances to the wife and daughter of Bull
and this fact conringto the knowledge of the
latter, he provided himself with walking
cane and repaired to Bowmans stable for the
purpose Of demanding satisfaction. Mr.. Bull
was accompanied by his son, youth of I6,
who seemed to be on hand for the purpose of
seeing fair play. But few words passed be-
| tween the parties, when Bull raised his cane
and struck Bowman over the head. The Ia, :
ter, who is large, powerful man, at once
drew knife and commenced to cut Eull
about the head and face, slashing him In a
| terrible manner The father disabled, Bow
man turned upon the son and dealt him a
terrible blow in the neck, driving the knife in
to the hilt. The wound was fearful, and for
time 1t was feared thai the boy would die
He was at once removed, and under proper
care rallied and at last accounts vas deemed
out of danger. The news of the affray soon
spread over little town like Pendleton. and
caused the widest excitement. Some of the
hot-headed called for rope and for time

ly to have first class neck-tie party. Soon
it was ascertained that the boys injuries
were not fatal, and this seemed to allay the
excitement. Subsequently Bowman was
brought before thecounty Judge and released
on 500 bail This was unsatisfactory, when
the accused was again arrested, and after
hearing before Judge Macarthur, of the dis
trict court, was ordered to find bail in the
sum of $500 This was the condition of
affairs at the time our informant left Pendle-
ton. Had the Bull boy died, it is quite
certain that Bowman would have been treat

is, the law has been permitted to have its

ESCAPE OF HoLMAN-Thc man Holman,
confined in the county Jail on chage OF
attempting to murder his wife, made his
escape, Tuesday night last, under the fol-
lowing circumstances: At about e o'clock in
the evening u is the custom to lock the pris-
oners up for the night previous to which ii
is customary to allow them to pass into the
open yard. Usually Sheriff Thomas and
deputy sheriff Thompson attend to this duty.
On Tue:day eveniny Mr.. Thompson was nee
essarily absent, ard young man named
Leith who occasionally acts as policeman
was present to take the place of the absent
officer The prisoners, four i'll number, We're
let out into the yard Three of them We're
in charge of the shcr'if, and the fourth, Hol-
man was attended TO by the policeman
Leith. SEEING the opportunity. Holman
made a break for the fence, and was com
manded to stop Not needing the order
Lei.h drew his piSto! and fired, but this only
accelerated Holman's pace. Reaching the
fence he had 70 difficulty in climbing over
it, and from thence through the open square
he readily made his escape. As he passed
over the fence Le':h fred second Shot, but
iGasmueh as the fugitive continued his flight
it Is not likely the shot took effect. Search
vas AZ once instituted, but no traces obtain
ed of the refugee. At the time OF the break,
as stated above, sheriff Thomas was in charge
Of three prisoners, and hence was unable to
render ass;stanccin arreSting Holman S fright.
Take it altogether. the escape was well plan
ned, and from the fact that he got away, 1t
is quite probable that he had friends on the
outside waiting to assist him. Dispatches
were at once sent to the adjoining country,
and it is likely that in a day or two he will
be recaptured Should he be returned to
his old quar.ers he is quite sure to wear
paire of shackles for the balance OF h's term
of Imprisonment.
