AsBURx CIRCUIT.

The following is the report in part
of the preacher in charge ON the gen.
eral state of the Church, in the
bounds of this work, as it stands
upon the Quarterly Conference jour
nal, said report having been read
at the Quarterly Conference held at
Williams Chapel Dec. 6, 1879, Rev.
w. Mooney, p. E., in the chair.
Before offering the report the pastor
requested all present to attend care
fully to the reading of it, and to
challenge any statement that might
not appear to be in strict accord
anee with the facts of the case. No
statement was called in question:
Recording Sec'y.
STATE OF THE CHURCH.
During my entire pastOrate here
my attention has been called from
time to time by prominent members
of this charge to the necessity eff en-
forcing discipline, and that necessi-
ty has long been obvious to me.
Some little mas been done in this di-
rection, and it has caused quite
tumult in some quarters, not to
speak of the notOriety it has gained
outside of the charge. OF the $40
names on the roll when | became
your pastor, about 200 bore all the
burdens, while not a few of the re-
mainder were openly defiant of
Church authority. A revolution
was a necessity. But it involved a
tremendous struggle, and through
that struggle we are now passing.
So far as / am informed, have the
sympathy and cooperation of those
brethren who have the interests of
the Church at heart. In the name
of the Lord we expect to triumph.
Following what we believe to be
the counsels of God we will press fo.-
ward in the line of duty, ever hope
full of ultimate success. The puri-
ty of the church must be maintained
at all hazards. This we are trying
to do.
The financial condition of the
charge is not as good as it should
be, but be tokens improvement. The
Bible teaches that Christians must
pay as well as pray, and every
Methodist is under solemn vow to
do so. This is not, however, a pO-
pular pulpit theme with many, and
some have turned their backs upon
the house of God because this sub
ject has been occasionally presented,
and because, in the Church-confeE-
ences, the Stewards have been al
lowed to make their reports, show
ing who had met their financial OBJ
legations, and who were delinquent.
These delinquents are very noisy
class of Church-members, and the
life of this charge has almost been
crushed out by them heretofore,
their name having been legion; but
by degrees they are either falling
in to line, or dropping out.

The petition or memorial which
appears in our columns this day is the
result of an earnest appeal from Col.
7. Egenton Hogg, who IS now and
has been for some weeks at Washing
ton. He teleg, aphed on Friday, and
again on Saturday last, to urge the
immediate preparation, signature,
and forwarding for presentation, of
the memorial in question. The Sena-
tors and Representative from Oregon
have been interesting themselves in
obtaining National assistance for the
harbor and river navigation of the
State, but they need to be supported
by the expression by the people them
selves of their sense of their require
ments.
Let all sign. Let each man insist
on his friends and neighbors making
the little effort required. The result
will be such an expression as will not,
cannot, be disregarded.
Is there one single person in the
valley who does not understand how
his interests are at stake in obtaining
a new, an independent, outlet to the
world
Again and again it has been ex-
planned that whilst the whole of the
traffic of the valley has to pass in and
out through Portland, SO long must
there be First-A needless waste
of. time. Second-A needless waste
of money. Third-Needless risks Of
stoppage and accidents. Fourth
"A needless payment of toll, at the
one toll-gate on the Northern boun
dary of the State.
The inhabitants of the valley now
have the opportunity, which for years
past they have been expecting, ot
uniting, with every prospect of sue
cess, in obtaining the new way out
1t this chance is let pass how long
may it be till fresh one arises? !?
Money is not asked from them
only the signature of their names te
the memorials which are TO be founC
in every place of Importance in thu
valley. There is hardly a postoffic'
to which they have not been sent
County committees have been form
ed every where who are interesting
themselves in this matter.
If no one comes to ask you fo
your name do not let it pass, but fine
out for yourself where the paper is
and gn.
In ten days $4,000 signatures ar
wanted-let us have them.

of Maine, he would cheerfnlly resign
his command, but until that was done
he should hold the fort. The next
important move made was the organ
ization of the Republican Legislature
aided by two or three Fusionist
members, and few Democrats, which
gave both House and Senate quorum.
They proceeded to elect Davis
Governor, and filled the other State
offices and then prepared list of
questions covering every possible
point and submitted them to the
Supreme Court which were all decid
ed in favor of that body and they
were declared legally organized, and
the State offices chosen by them,
were legally elected.
Governor Davis assumed control of
the forces and relieved Gen. Chamber
lain, and all the differnt State depart
ments proceeded to business. The
Secretary of State soon discovered
that the Fusionists' Secretary of State
had carried off the great seal of State,
another was Immediately ordered and
the Fusionists' Legislature refused
admittance to the State House. Since
then that body of patriots have been
holding sessions on the sidewalk near
the Capital. They having been refused
a place to hold their sessions by the
Democratic Mayor Of Augusta. Some
of the Fusionists are desirous OIL
returning home, some who were
elected of taking seats with the Re
!, publican Legislature, SO that their con
stitucnts shall not be without, repre-
sentation, others counsel war and
still others tame submission to the
inevitable. Thus ends one of the
most diabolical plots ever conceived

FAMINE TN IRELAND.

Great distress in the rural districts
of Ireland prevails, occasioned by
short crops. Many of the people are
starving. The English government
is taking active steps to avert the
constantly increasing suffering, while
America is donating ship loads of
provisions to be distributed among
the needy. It would be we'll if the
people of Benton county would, out
of their abundance, donate something
towards SO worthy an object of
charity. Who will lead off in this
matter? !? If every business man and
farmer in the Willamette valley
would contribute little of their
means and grain, soon a cargo of
wheat and flour could be shipped to
our unfortunate peighbors across the
Atlantic. Meetings could be held in
the principal towns on both sides of
the Willamette river, committees ap-
pointed, subscriptions of cash and
-four and grain solicited, and arrange
ments made to forward the same,
and in an incredible short time a
fund could be secured that would
keep the wolf rom the door of many
homes in the Emerald Isle. Let us
do something at once in this matter.
