The Seattle Post says: The Comet
has just returned from remarkable
trip up the White River. She on
her last trip, went higher up the
stream than it has been navigated
by steam since 1856 At the date
mentioned Seattle was not so large
as it is to-day; the old settlers will
remember well the time Capt Parker,
now Of the Messenger, carried sup
plies from Seattle to the soldiers
who We're stationed up White River,
at or near Mr.. Branuan's landing
Twenty-three years having elapsed
since steamer made her appearance
up there, it is not to be wondered at
that the neighbors turned out en-
masse to welcome the plucky little
boat. No freight was brought down
from there for the reason that the
settlers were not anticipating the
arrival of the steamer.

The south Con trolling Legislation.
[From the nav York Times, March 2d.l

From the New York Times, March I'd.
Of the - Democratic members of
the Senate the south furnishes 30,
and the rest OF the country IS. In
distributing the chairtnanships of the
% regular senate committees, the
caucus committee gives 20 to the
south and 9 to the rest of the conn
try. So far as the Senate is con-
cerned, therefore, the south will, in
the words of Black burn, "bc charged
with the shaping of the Legislation of
the land" In other words, the NOM
inal representatives of fourteen mill
lions OF people will control the legis-
lation OF forty millions; orto put the
case more exactly, the actual repre-
sentatives of population of decid-
edly less than ten millions of south
ern whites--four and half millions
of blacks in the south not being rep
resented in the majority of the Sen
ate at all--will shape for some years
to come the law-making of the people
of the United States, Political
theorists are much addicted to talk
about the ''brute force of the major.
ity." Would 1t not be we'll to have
some exhaustive discussion of the no,
entirel y new phenomenon of the brute
force OF the minority.

From the New York Tribune.l

FROM Tue new lOrk lrlOunc.
If the Union soldiers, while fight
ing to put down the rebellion, could
have foreseen thatin 1879 there would
be nineteen eX-coniederate officers
in the senate of the United States and
only four men who rislled their lives
for the old flag, they would have
been almost eXcusable if they had
grounded their arms and refused to
fight for country destined so soon
to honor its betrayers more than its
defenders. Of the thirty four COM
mitteeso OF the senate twenty-four have
chairmen from the south, so that two
thirds of the power of shaping legis-
lation' in the senate is conferred upon
representatives OF one-third of the
people including negro population,
who have been forcibly or fraudu-
lentlv shut out from exercising the
privilege ofchoosing their law makers.
All this goes to prove how down trod-
den and subjected the south has been
deprived of her legitimate share of
the conduct of the government by in
iquitous election laws and troops and
Republican marshals and supervisors.

SAFE BURGLARY.-Last week
Monday night the small safe at the
railroad depot at Eugene City was
burglarized in very handsome
manner. A hole was drilled into
the door and filed with powder, a
fuse inserted and away she went,
tearing the door from its hinges.
The report was heard by several par.
ties, but nothing was thought of it.
The burglars got SIS fer their pains.
The agent had taken $500 out the
same evening and placed it on de-
post down town. The money got
by the burglars would not half pay
for the damage done to the safe
alone say nothing about their time.

The Situation Stated. aud u Prediction
OF the Result.
from the Chicago Times, Ind.l


Both branches OF congress of the
confederate states have now been re-
moved from Richmond to Washing
ton. Nearly all the officers of the
confederate states government are
members of one house or the other.
But the arrangement is one that does
not promise lengthy soiourn of the
Richmond congress at Washington.
-Four years ago the first Bourbon
house of representatives in fourteen
years entered the capital with sixty
majority, Two years later a re-
dictionary southern tendency in its
behavior reduced its majority to sew
entcen. Two years later still it was
further reduced by the same cause
to the meagre four or five ma ority
OF the Bourbon side in the present
house. Yet the Bourbons learn
nothing and forget nothing. In the
next house their majority will wholly
disappear, and they will resume the
minority station which only is suited
to their political faculties. Mark the
prediction. Nothing can prevent
its fulfllment but change Of the
Bourbon nature, and two years is too
short n time to change the nature of
men who have shown no capacity for
advancement in half century, and
show none now.

A Good Animal.

just about noon, yesterday, as usual,
jackson street was alive with painting pedes-
trians, homeward bound for dinner, and Just
at this time runaway horse with buggy
attached, made everybody forget dinner in
getting out of dangers way. The horse
turned into Jackson from Fourth
street, and took up jackson street with
lively desire to 60 somewhere and
get there as expeditiously as possible. The
horse was Indifferent as to the way, and
showed no choice as to street OF sidewalk,
taking both in with great impartiality. The
buggy turned frequent somersaults, and,
coming in contact with lamp post and
United States letter box, at the corner of
Fourth and jackson, the latter was demol-
ished. The horse, half freed from the buggy,
wholly freed himself near Seventh street,
and then struck out for where he was going.
Officer Morgan took charge of the scattered
letters out of the mail box. And just then
everybody got to inquiring who the runaway
outfit belonged to. The answer came that
Capt. Berkey was out 1915, or so, by q badly
wrecked buggy, and may be his horse was
lost too.
