WASHINGTON, May 24.-The following was
received at the Constantinople legation of the
United States:
MoSsoUL, May 5.
A terrible famine in which we exist kills all
the inhabitants of the town and those of
neighboring villages, who are assembling here
in masses. Their sufferings are indescribable
Finding no cereals some eat corpses and be-
come ill in consequence. Their lamentations
are heart rending, and most of them are
dying as they have nothing to eat. Those of
the inhabitants who have lived until now be-
tween life and death pray you to give them
such assistance as will enable them to live.
They take the liberty.

Mr. George charged in his speech
last Saturday that John Whitcaker had
gone before the Appropriation Commit
tee and gave them to understand that il
they would appropriate small sum ol
money for Yaquina Bay lie would be
returned to Congress.
We would like to ask you aquestion,
Mr.. George. If you had been a Mem
ber of Congress and had gone before
that Committee with the same request
how much money would 5ot have pro
cured2
Whiteaker secured a report in favor
of $4,000; conld you have done SO

tion from Congress for Yaquina Bay
and if Whiteaker can get it for MS he i,

he gets it by his own personal popular
ity, or by showing up the advantages

ton. What we want Is the appropria
tion which will give us a short road tc

The following from the New York
Nation gives a very plausible reason
for the neglect OF Republican papers
TO manufacture Southern outragcs /:
Tho non-productiOn OF any fresh
Southern murders or ontrages Is one
OF the most Interesting features OF the
present crisis. We have heard OF
none since the Yazoo murder, and we
are now within one laonth or The
convention. The explanation or this
cannot be that murders and outrages
have ceased at the South, for we have
the highest Republican authority for
saying that they occur in vast num-
bers, and viii not cease until there is
one more -ousing Republican victory.
Why, then, does news OF them not
come In? The answer to this, we
think, must be that Grants boom is
not based on murders, but on s1eount-
Ing out" schemes Of the Democrats in
Congress, 1t having become little
too absurd 10 maintain that he would
put down outrages. at the South In
in view OF the accounts given by mis-
friends OF the condition of the South
during his two terms. On the other
hand, the inner chamber of the Blaine
and Sherman boom is stuffed full OF
outrages, but IL has been discovered
in practice that when produced they
only help the Strong Man and dc
nothing for the Magnetic Man and
the Flnancier. Accordingly they
are, as 1t were, by tacit common c5n-
sent dropped, and the poor negro is
left TO his fate or to the Secretary of
the British Anii-SIavery Society, who
seems TO be taking up the old 1876
outrages and using them as new with
some additional particulars fresh
| from Louisiana.

orE LEGISLATIVE TICKET.

There is very little use in our saying
much in regard to our Legislative tick
ct. They are all well known in our
county, four of them having already
served this county in the lower house.
Mr. Burkhart and Mr.. Chamberlain
have never served in the capacity Of
Legislators, but It is a well known fact
that they are competent to do so. Mr..
Burkhart is one of our leading farmers,
prominent member Of the Patrons OF
Husbandry, and. viii do good work in
oHr Legislature for the agricultural in
terests Of the State. One of the best
testimonials in his favor is the fact that
he was put in nomination by lis nearest
neighbor, Dir. \. Price, who has lived
adjoining him for about thirty years.
Dir. Chamberlain is rising young
lawyer, who received his education un.
der the tutelage of Gen. Rob't E. Lee.
In natural ability be has no superior in
these parts, and he will make a Repre-
sentative Of whom this county may
well be proud.

The Bee, in speaking of the fact of
Hon. John Whiteaker having pre-
vailed upon the Committee to report
to Congress in favor OF an appropria-
tion for the improvement of Yaquina
Bay, says that ''if it proves anything,
it simply proves that Mr.. Whitea-
ker's Democratic friends see their
chance to keep his vote in the House
by little notice of Oregon affairs
just now. Mr.. George was so un-
kind as TO make the same charge in
his speech here last Saturday. Well,
gentlemen, we know positively that
you are both incorrect. When Gov.
Whiteaker was In our State last he
visited both Yaquina and Coquille,
and after giving each locality close
inspection, promised to do all that he
could to procure appropriations to aid
them. From letters from gentlemen
in Washington who are interested in
these localities, we learn that Mr..
Whiseaker has worked faithfully as
he promised, and as a result we see
in the appropriation bill $4,000 for
Yaquina and $4,000 for Coquille.
The Republican newspapers and Mr..
George know that their charges are
false, but we wilt not object to them
having their own way. The people
of this valley want Yaquina Bay
opened UP, and as John Whitaker is
aaVls5ais8f procured
an appropriation for it, they viii re-
turn him TO Congress.

VERY IarROnaHLE.

The OreyOsiiaa states that It n not at
all improbable that the Republican can.
didates for Senator and Sheriff will be
elected in this county. Nothing is more
improbable, Dir. Scott. II is true, Capt.
Humphrey has many friends in the
Democratic ranks, and they would prob
ably vote for him If he was running for
any position but that Of Senator. Bat
that Office in this case is Of too mucl
Importance to bestow upon "a Repub
lican, even il he is friend and ',jolly
good fellow" Our now Senator will
have u vote for United States Senator,
and that is sufficient reason for every
Democrat to vote against Capt. Hum,
phrey.
Isaac Miller, our candidate for Sher.
III, Is one Of our oldest settlers, enc oI
our truest Democrats, an honest, up
right, temperate man, and fitted in
every way for the position to which he
aspircs. Nowhere in the county will
he be SCRATCHED" 10 any great extent
by Democrats, and he will receive 6
great many Republican votes. lie viii

Some thought VIC might he wrong
when we charged that the yonng immi-
grants over the way were sent here by
the Mitchell crowd to teach Repub-
lieans of Linn county how to vote, but
now tho Oregoaia5l comes out in It's issue
of last Monday and gives them n severe
chastising for the same reason. The
editor Of that sheet knows that the
Steel family, both body and soul, is
owned by Mitchell, and he can use them
in any way be secs ct. w. G. Steel, a
brother of Geo. A. Steel, the old Postal
Agent, is the real head Of the Herald;
but knowing that name would not take
we'll with the people of this county it
is made the last of the three in the firm
name. Also the name of Il. L. Barnes
is run up as editor, when Steel has
mentioned on Che street several times
that he furnished the brains Of the es-
tablishmeut, and had only taken Barnes
and Pottinger in to do the work. OF
course it would not do for Steel to let
the public know that he is owned by
the man of youthful 'indiscretions," as
that party is not worshipped to any
great extent by the Republicans of this
county, so for awhile he laid low, but
now the eIoven foot is showed in almost
every issue of the paper.

J. N. 3. FuLLEs, the Republican

REPUBLICANS would have US believe
that all Of Mr.. Whiteaker's speeches
before Congressional Committees in re-
lation to the resources, advantages and
wants Of different portions of our State
have amounted to nothing at all, and
assert that it was his own personal pop
ularity that induced the Committee to
report in favor of certain appropriations
for Oregon.
If that is the case, isn't he just the
man we want3 Where can we get a
better reason to present why he should
be re-elected7
If it has taken three sessions of Con-
gress to get Mr.. Whiteaker up to this
point of popularity how long would it
take to bring Mr.. George up to this
high position in the hearts Of a Demo-
cratic body like the House of Repre-
sentatives9 Some considerable time,
we judge, and yet according to Repub-
lican logic wc could not expect another
appropriation until he should attain
that point
