The Hartford Courant calls attention
10 die eondhct oE Daniel p. Davis, the
candidate for Governor Of the Maine
stalwarts at the last election, who is
now ioremost in denouncing the action
Of Governor Garcslon and the Council
in relation to the official return by them
declared, and contrasts with it his own
conduct only two years ago, when
Chairman Of the Senate COMMITTEES to
whom was referred an election contest
case in which Democratic Senator,
With clear and undiaputed majority
over his Republican opponent Of one
hundred and four votes, was kept out
Of his seat and it given TO the Kspub-
lican, because in one plantation the
copy Of the list OF the voters was not
attested by the Assessors and Clerk, in
exact conformity 70 the law. In bis
majority report on the case Mr.. Davis
defended the determination Of the Com
mittee Ia q speech, in the course Of
which be declared the rule Of law and
interpretation Of the letter and spirit Of
the State Constitution in these very
words: "The Constitution and laws
make certain provisions for the manage
ment Of elections The question wi at
provisions of the Constitution and laws
are mandatory and what directory has
sometimes caused conflicting opinion.
The votes in all cases cited were reject
ed because Of a noncompliance scith tie
ConstitutiOn and mandatory propisions
Of lac. The design Of representative
government is not merely that the peo-
pie should express their viii at the
polls, but that that toiH slOuld be legally
and cOlssitissiOHallg enpressed.1
Now, It was according to this precise
and rigorous observance Of the Consti-
tuition and laws Of Maine. As expounded
and declared, in 1877, BY Mr.. Davis
himself, in the cited case, that Governor
Gareelon and the Council determined
the result Of the late election OF mem
bers Of the Legislature; and yet it is
against this very Interpretation and ap-
plication Of the Constitution and Law
that Mr.. Davis himself now 80 vehe-
mentIy protests that he has counseled
resort to mob violence and open rebel
lion By force Of arms against the con-
stituted authorities TO overthrow their
decision.

From a recent number Of tho st.

following Gattcring notice Of our own
beautiful Valley, an well AS of many Of

rising young State Of Oregon. As an
example, in the last State Senate, which
was composed Of thirty Senator's, there

went early into Oregon, and had the
sagacity 10 settle in the valley Of the
Willamette. II il one hundred miles

is probably no land in this country
more favorably situated than the Viii
lamette, both in its productivenesa Of
soil and contiguity TO market. This
year the farmers realized from 81 10 Ia
81 25 per bushel for their wheat. Its
strong card is wheat, this cereal fetch
ing G cents per GENITAL more in Mark
Lane, London, than any other, either
from California, Washington Territory
or other part Of Oregon. But il also
excels in all kinds of grain, and In all
manner OF fruits il has no parallel.
Hundreds Of thousands Of boxes Of ap.
pies are shipped every year from the
Willamette to California. Linn and
Lane counties in 1878 produced four
millions Of bushels Of wheat, but their

forty cents more it can be laid down in
Liverpool. A large portion Of tho soil
is yet kept in stock ranches, ON account

The consul at Liverpool, in his an
nual commercial report, says that the
imports from the United States of Great
Britain last year exceed those of the
previous year by over $4,000, 900.
The most remarkable increase is in
provisions. In 1874 Great Britain
paid the United States for bacon and
hams, beef, butter and cheese, $S7, ,OO0,-
600; in 1878, s66, 900, 900. In bread,

During 500 years no woman is
known to have entered the grounds Of
the monastry Of Camadoli, Italy, ex-
cept once, when princess of the house
of Medici, who had great desire to
behold tho place, disguised herself in
mems clothing and was admitted. But
so stricken with remorse was she on be-
holding the sacred spot that she hasten
ed to the Pope to confess her fault, and,
as n pennance for It was commanded to
build new cottage within the cnclos-
ure, which she did. The monastry Is
one Of tho few institutions Of the kind
suffered to remain in Italy. A recent
visitor says that what are called cells
are comfortable little dwellings. Each
is surrounded by wall, and has its
garden twenty feet square. A little
piazza, with the trunk Of tree planed
and squared for bench as its only fur
niture, runs along The side of the house.
Entering the door you End yourself in
a brick paved vestibule, with an empty
chamber where aspiring Of water is
flowing into basin on the left, and the
living rooms on tho right. These con-
sist of study just large enough for one
person to sit down, dining and sleep

Rev. Mr.. Harris delivered a discourse
in his church Sunday evening on " The
Reid Trial" The sermon was an able
one. and was well received by the audi
ence. The speaker did not undertake
to decide the issues, but to draw moral
lessons from the evidence and incidents
Of the trial.-ABany correspondent Of
he Oreyoaiaa, JAM %.
We would like to ask that cores
pondent how he knows that the sermon
81 was well received By the audience r.
Did the audience cheer, or did this cor
respondent 30 around among the audi
ence and ask them how they liked it !
The correspondent has the right to say
that it was an able one" because per-
haps hc is in the same narrow groove
himself Il was happy circumstance,
perhaps, that the preacher did not "un-
dertake to decide the issues" since
twelve sworn citizens Of the county had
already performed that duty.
It IS SIMPLY Outrageous for clergy
man or even curbstone orator to ques-
ton the result Of trial after twelve
men, under oath, had rendered their
verdict, and the oregomian correspond
ent must have forgotten his duty to the
commonwealth when he wrote the fore
going report.

PEnRY II. SMITH, of tChicago, on be-

what he thought of the action of Gov.
Garcelon and his council, replied as fol-
lows: "If Maine hasa returning board
that can do in one State what Lonisi-
ana did to every State in the Union,
the fact would give me pleasant dreams
for one night at least. That's all I
have to say" Short and sweet, if not
altogether satisfactory.

TO ms E1cette1scyt ~. ~ 1hdysFs Tor
ernOr Of Oregon:
The petition OF the undersigned
citizens desiring 10 call your atten-
tion 70 certain facts would respectful
~ represent that during the second
week Of January we were visited by
q heavy storm Of snow and wind,
which has completely blocked up our
roads with fallen timber, 30 that &c Is
impossible to get out from the valley.
We have no mills or stores here and
have TO get all cur firur and grocer
les In Washington county or at st.
Helens. Heretofore we could get
out at almost any timesof the winter
after our supplies, and as a result, a
majority Of the people haFe bnf
small supply Of food In store. There
are over one hundred and fifty men,
women and children in the valley,
and there are now several families
entirely out Of provisions, and there
Is not enough in the entire valley to
feed the residents for four weeks.
We have held q meeting TO see what
We could do and came TO the follow
ing agreement: That we would ap-
point men to select the shortest and
hest route TO cut trail, either iAtO
the road that runs north from Green
vile via Manning's mill, or from
Vermonia postofice to the school
house, and thence east to st. HeIens.
Truthful men have been over the
road we have from Cornelius, Via
Qaick's mill, TO this valley, and they
say that thirty men would not be aHe
to put the road In J passable condi-
tion in a month. We are in as rich
a valley as any in Oregon, but 1t has
only been i've years since the first
settlers came here and we have had
to clear onr land, and the making of
the road took over three years, and
now II is completely filed with fallen
trees. For the sake of humanity, if
you can legally give Us aid frons the
State fund We viii gladly aceept it.

tance please address o. Cherington,
