TnE PACIFIC COAsr.

If Garfield is elected President
which many doubt-he has received a
terrible rebuke for his vacillating pol
icy on the Chinese question. The
white people of this coast are anxious
to lid themselves of this alien popula-
tion-hence the vote tbat Gen. Han
cock received, He carried California
and Nevada, and would have carried
Oregon but for the corruption in Port
land and down the Columbia. Multi
nomah, Columbia and Clatsop, where
corruption fund was used, secured more
than the majority for Garfield in the
State. Oregon is Democratic to-day,
and all that Is necessary IS a noble eff
fort on the part Of the Democracy to
carry the State in 1882. Let the Dem
ocrats make it a speciality to organize.
Look at the strength and power that
Multnomah gave in this campaign by
Democratic organization. Look at
Linn, which in June lost all the prin-
cipal offices in the county, and yet by
organization and active, unceasing work
we carry the county by majority that
has seldom been exeelled.
If Democrats stand by their organi
zation they can carry the State at the
next election. All that is needed is eff
fort and work. With the proper work
the Pacific coast, two years from now
viii join hands with the ''solid South.

YAaIINA EAK oPENING.

Elsewhere our readers will find u
port from J. S. Polhemus, an engi-
neer sent to make a survey and an
examination of Yaquina Bay and its
entrance.
1t will be found by that report that
the Yaquina Bar is at present able to
admit vessels of light tonnage, and
with the appropriation asked and Sc
cured by Congressman Whiteakcr, of
$40, 900, the reef can be broken and
vessels can cross that bar so easily as
almost to make the Bar silent
river.

The late Presidential election has
demonstrated two things. One is on
the question as to whether Southern
people should have the power to main,
tain them. The Republicans begged
that question all through the campaign.
Many of them insisted that the South
had no rights, and that if they secured
power they would abuse it. The fact
Is, that TIE Southern people are the
most patient people in the world. Po-
land, with Russia's sword drawn over
it, could net endure with more fortitude
its expressions than the South submits
to to-day. Il IS a credit to the Pacific
coast and to Oregon, that, believing in
relieving the oppressed, We almost pre-
sent a solid electoral vote for Hancock
and for the relief of those Southern
people

CAPTAIN EADs' smIp nAiLwAY.

The Scientific AmerieaH OF this week
contains two full page illustrations ol
Captain Eads' proposed railway fl
Transporting ships with their cargo
across continents.
Captain Eads claims by his plan to
be able to take loaded ships of the
largest tonnage faom one ocean 10
the other across the Isthmus OF Pan
anna, as readily rs can be done by a
canal after the Lessup plan, and at n
much less cost for engineering con-
struction.
The project Is certainly bold and
ingenious, and the protector anticl-
pates no serious difficulties In carry
Ing forward his enterprise. Tho en-
cravings referred TO in the Scientific
american show the proposed construc-
ton Of not only the railroad, but the
appliances for transferring the ships
from the water TO the rail-
In addition TO the large number OF
engravings, illustrative of engineer.
Ing works, inventions and new dis.
coveries which appear weekly, the
Scientific .1Sieyicnn has, during the
past year, devoted considerable space
to illustrating and describing leading
establishments devoted to different
manufacturing Industries.
This feature has added very mucl
TO the attractiyeness aud usefulness
of the paper. More than iilly or tho
most important industrial establish
ments OF our country have been Illus
trated, and the processes OF the dif
fercnt manufacturers described In IL
columns. The Scientific dmertrau ha
been published for more than thirty
four years by Mum * Co, y Parl

larger weekly circulation than al

To clearly understand the proper ac-
counting of the property as shown, and
which may have escaped the notice of
the previous committee, we find that 80
horses sold to troops and others to have
been done in the following manner: At
the termination Of the war the account
ing officers were authorized by the
State authorities to dispose of the prop
erty remaining ON hand on the best
terms attainable those parties holding
vouchers would have their purchase en-
dorsed on the voucher, and when the
State gave bond for such voucher the
amount of the purchase was deducted.
In this wise the property "sold to
troops and Others" is accounted for.
As the basis of the report Of the
previous committee was upon the ex.
bibit herewith shown, and which proves
to be erroneous, the conclusions arrived
at by them of there being fraud in the
matter are not sustained
The previous report publishes bills Of
supplies purchased from S. Marks & Co.
at Roseburg, showing excessive prices
Tt will be remembered that at the time
the purchases were made their payment
was matter Of long delay and uncer-
tainty, as at the time there was no law
authorizing the payment of such claims,
and none was enacted until some years
after If more than regular prices
were charged it was in consequence of
the risk taken. In this connection it
may be proper to state that purchases
made of similar articles as those named
in the bill Of Marks G Co. from whole
sale merchants in Portland were at no
lower prices.
In conclusion, this committee is of
the opinion that the claims for which
the bonds Of the State were given were
correct and just.
Respectfully submitted,

An HoEEsT CONFESSION.

There was "more truth .han poetry
in the banner that was carried in the
postmaster's wagon last Monday night
It recited that "this is the pot that
Hancock's goose was cooked in" There
is no doubt whatever that If Hancock
IS defeated that transparency conveyed
the truth. 1t was carried by post
naster-a Federal Office holder who
knew that be had been assessed to ac-
complish that result.

confession Is good FOR the soul, but who
would expect Radical Office holder to
ride in wagon to make that confess

MODoc WAR.

The Investigating Committee re-
ported great frauds in the conduct OF
this war. This report was placed on
every members desk in Washington at
the time the bill to relieve the State OF
Oregon from this debt was pending in
Congress OF course it killed the bill.
This State has not only lost this appro-
priation, but has been compelled to pay
some three years more interest in CON
sequence of this attack made upon the
integrity OF the people of the people of
Oregon 10y committee worthy only of
the contempt of every citizen in this
State. The State may lose the entire
amount of $l45, 900 and interest paid,
but should Congress now pay the prin-
cipal, Oregon viii suffer loss Of over
fifty thousand dollars interest in conse-
quenee of the action of this investiga-
ting committee. Notwithstanding great
efforts were made to suppress. this re-
port in eertain quarters, better councils
prevailed, and it has come to light to
haunt those who fathered the iniquity
this is intended to expose. There is a
broad streak of villainy running through
the proceedings of that investigating
committee. Following is the
REPORT:
10 The Honorable he State lS,3,ate cf the
EterentA Biennial Session Of The Legislature
assembly Of The State Of Oregon
Pursuant to Senate Resolution No
-. appointing committee to report
whether the findings of the investiga-
ting committee appointed at the last
session of the Legislature to examine
the accounts and claims incurred in the
prosecution of the Modoc war were
correct, the committee appointed under
the provisions Of the resolution have to
report that they have, with the assist
ance of Mr.. c. ID. Folger, qualified
accountant, made thorough and ex-
haustivo examination of all the nc
counts and papers relating TO the sub
ject now on file in the Office of the Sec
retary of State, and find the accounts
to be correct and the property properly
accounted for. This result is so much
at variance with the report of the com
mittee of last session, that the follow
ing explanation is necessary: The
Honorable Secretary of State, in re-
sponse to Senate Resolution No. -,
stated that "he was informed that since
the. printing of the previous report,
evidence of the proper accounting OF
the property had seen discovered,
which, if found at the time, would
have changed their findings and conclu-
sions in the matter How much or
what evidence this committee has that
the previous committee did not, we are
not aware. It is evident, however,
that they did not have all the papers
pertaining to the subject, or their find
ings would have been different In
their printed report the following ex-
hibit Is made:
