erection of the county boards, see no rea-
son why county boards NAV not, in their dis
erection in a proper case, make approprla-
tions to assist such towns. At common law
the obligation of keeping roads and bridges
in repair within a county rested entirely up
on such county This responsibility has been
shifted and changed by repeated acts OF the
legislature to a great extent to towns and
municipal corporations. But am not pre-,
pared to say that by these changes or any of
them the Legislature ever intended oprevent
county boards from making appropriations
to assist such towns in erecting and maintain
inc roads and bridges within their limits,
where the cost of erecting such bridge or
constructing such road would be an unreas-
enable burden upon the town. And itwould
make no difference, if the right to make such
appropriation exists, whether the debt for
such road or bridge was incurred betoreor
after the appropriation was made.
Respectfully submitted.

Resumption.

The debate in the House on the bill
to repeal the resumption law has been
lengthy and exciting. Garfield, of
Ohio, has made the ablest speech. He
tore into tatters all arguments in favor
of the infationist fallacies.
Hewitt of New York, concluded his
speech as follows:
In conclusion, if we plant ourselves on
the rock of honor there is before the cOun-
try such future as has never been recorded
in the history of man. l stand appalled, at
the prospect which l see before us if these
two bills--the silver bill and anti resumption
bill should become laws. Our sufferings are
nothing to what will come after the passage
of these acts. Every dollar of movable cap
ital will quit the country The debtors who
expect it will raise the price of their property
will find that there will be nothing to buy it
with, and that values will fall and creditors
will take the rest of their funds to go to some
cline where their property will be respected.
l am clear and certain but one result can fol-
low from these measures and that that result
will be ruin in resources, ruin in character,
and ultimately ruin in constitutional free

Congressional.

The army appropriation bill was
before the House on the 18th instant
for concurrence in Senate amend
ments. The Senate amendment re-
ducing the appropriation for expen-
ses of commanding generals Office
from $4,000 to $4,000, was concurred
in. The amendment striking out the
clause providing that four cavalry reg
iments shall be kept up on the Tex
as border, inserting in place of it a
proviso that cavalry regiments may
be recruited to 100 men and that
sufficient force of cavalry shall be en-
ployed in defense Of the Texas from
tier. The recommendation of the
committee on appropriations was to
not concur, but Foster moved to con-
cur; agreed to, yeas l40, nays 1875.
The next amendment of the Sen
ate was to insert $4,000 instead of
10000 in the clause prohibiting re-
cruiting of the army beyond that
number.
Foster moved to concur; vote taken
and resulted, yeas 134, nays 100.

Who Holds the Old Orders!

1t has been limited that H. B. so
was passed for the benefit of E. S.
Kearney, who, as we are informed,
holds about half the county orders
of this county. The Representatives
to the Legislature did not know that
Mr.. Kearney held these orders. They
did not and do not now know who
holds the old orders of this county.
They now have reason to believe that
the very men who are the most noisy
directors to the law here in Vancou-
yer, are the owners of large share
of the old orders, and they are the
men whom the law will first benefit.
The orders held by Mr.. kearney are
new ones, they all bear number and
date since the last February term OF
the Commissioners court.
When men find fault with this law
it should be remembered that there
are men in the county who do not de-
sire to have the county out of debt.
County orders and the necessities of
the people, afford field for specula-
ton which they fully appreciate. Buy
ing county orders during the year and
selling them at taxspaying time, is a
good business. The money invest
ed can be turned over much quicker
in this way than in buying county
orders to hold until the money is in
the treasury to redeem them There
is vast deal of selfshness expressed
in certain objections made by certain
persons to H. B. so; and, if we mis-
take not, the people, who pay the
taxes, will not be behind hand in see
ing and approaching these motives.
The Vancouver independent. (Vancouver, W.T. [Wash.]) 1875-1910, 1877-11-22

tice allowed, when provision was madein
the law, by which a man could pay his
taxes with an order which was issued
directly to him by the county. But
experience teaches that changes of law
and custom, even for the right, must
not be too radical. This provision of
the law was in the nature of a gener-
Gus concession to the poor man, who
had, without fault of his, been led into
a bad custom by those who have here
tofore managed county affairs. But
let it be understood that this conces-
sion is entirely at the expense of the
other creditors of the county, for. no
man can redeem a county order by u.s.
ing it to pay taxes or otherwise, with
out doing an injustice, for so much, to
the holders of other older and unpaid
orders
H. B. so, however unpopular it may
be with some people, is beyond all
doubt or cavil measure of substantial
justice and sound public policy. Any
dispassionate man who will consider
the subject carefully must come to this
conclusion.
The Vancouver independent. (Vancouver, W.T. [Wash.]) 1875-1910, 1877-11-22

which strikes me as unusual and lit
tie to be expected though much t.
be desiredD in this day of greed ant
corruption.
If this opposition had not come on
we should have seen the profits of the
ocean trade used to extend the west
side railroad lin which l, for one, have
an especial interes) from St. Joe
south, at least twenty-five miles be-
fore another fall. In short, we have
in these German capitalists men who
identify themselves with Oregon pros
perity, and who recognize that their
interests and ours are one. They
live where money brings small earn
ings and won't grumble if we pay
them only moderate interest on cap
ital invested. They are doing every
thing to draw immigration Of the best
ki,ad to Oregon, and what weakens
them weakens us. All sensible men
must recognize that we have great
interest in their success, and my own
view of it is that every Oregonian
should, from principle, give his pat
ronage to the old line, as mark of
respect and good will. &C.,. .....
In conclusion, let me call to mind
that at the time this opposition start
ed these men charged no high rates
to speak of. Both on the railroad and
on the ocean their charges were mod
crate and left no ground for dissatis-
faction. Had not these Germans adj
vanced their money to build this road
we should have probably had no rail-
road travel through this valley to this
day, and have lacked the develop
ment, the prosperity, and the social
Improvement that follows it.
All l claim is that in prosecution of
their own business enterprises, the
Germans act reasonably and honora-
bly, by us and do not show the corpo-
rate greed SO common to our country,
and SO long as they identify them
selves thus closely aud literally with
the interests Of Oregon, ], rs an Ore
gonian, propose to identify myself
with the enterprises they control, so
far as | may.

Important Decision.

report of a recent decision by Secre-

St. Joseph & Denver City r. r. Co.,
which settles certain questions of
very general interest affecting numer
Gus claims of individuals and of cor
porations that are grantees of public
lands. The main points established
by it are as follows: n valid home
stead entry is an appropriation of the
land covered by it, and remains such
until forfeiture is declared in accord
ance with law and the rules and reg
ulations of the general land Office and
until tho reservation is removed.
These regulations in regard to the
method of declaring a homestead
claim abandoned and the entry can
celled are necessary to the efficient
execution of the homestead law
Cases adiudicated under a different
view of the homestead law are not to
be reopened. The rule is now an
nounced for future guidance.
