Peace I'm Nlaine-The Last Hope
OF the Rebels Gone-The Peo--
pie Triumphant.
The answer of the Supreme Court
to the questions propounded by the
Rebel Legislature is announced.
The questions were plain and di-
rect, and the answer corresponds.
Here are the most important Of the
questions asked:
First-Was The organization of the
Senate and the election of President
and Secretary thereof, on the first
Wednesday of January, 1880, legal,
and in accordance with the Consti-
tuition and laws Of the State?
Second-Was the organization OF
the House Of Representatives, and the
election OF Speaker and Clerk there
of, on the first Wednesday In Jan
nary, 1880, legal and in accordance
with the Constitution and laws1
These questions refer to the Or
eanization Of the Garcelon Legisla-
ture. The Court, after discussing
the law of the case, unanimously de-
cided against the Fusionists. Here
is the concluding sentence Of the de-
cision:
We, therefore, after due delibera-
ton and consideration Of all the mat
ters involved, affirm and declare our
Judgment to be that the Senate,
whose presiding officer is Hon. JOS
eph A. Locke, and the House OF
Representatives whose presiding off,
Ger is Hon. George o. Weeks, con-
stitute the legal and constitutional
Legislature Of the State.
The body here recognized as legal
and legitimate is the Legislature the
people elected. 1t places the power
of the State in the hands Of the Re
publicans. Smith. the Fusionis'
Governor, gracefully accepted of the
mandate of the Court in the follow
ing brief but ,forcible message: "Pm
tired of playing Governor, and an
going home"
The Rebel Legislasure consulted
over the matter one day, and then
adjourned until next August. Sub
sequently most Of the Fusion mem
bers appeared and took their seats ir
the legal Legislature. fSzEss
Thus disappears the last remnant
of the Maine Rebellion. 1t was born
In fraud, and ended in Il farce
Democratic rebellions are not sue
cess in this country.

The Census Supervisors.

The President has made. his ap.
pointments of Census Supervisors,
but the Senate does not confirm.
This delay Is accounted for in this
wise by the correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette:
The delay in reporting the nomina-
tions Of the Census Supervisors for
confirmation is due to the fact that
the Democrats are insisting that
half the nominees for all parts Of the
country shall be of their party. The
Southern Democrats particularly de-
msnd more Democratic Census Su-
pervisors for their section, and de-
clare that the President must yield
the point or no Republicans viii be
confirmed.

How 1t Was Done.

Sen ator Blaine, in answer TO the
statement that the trouble in Maine
was due to Gov. Garcelon's applica-
ton of "rigid exactnesss to the re-
turns" replies: a
"The trouble was NOT in regard to
the application of a rigid exactness,
fer there was not any rule Of tech
nicality given that, applied clear
through impartially, would not have
elected the whole Republican ticket.
But the trouble was, that technical
ity was applied in one town to de-
fraud the people, and an exactly op-
posite technicalityii in the next town.
The Republicans asked the Governor
and Council to lay down any rule and
stick to it, and they could not have
laid down any rule and stuck to it
without giving the Legislature in
both branches to the Republicans.
The Cincinnati Commercial dis
poses of this rigid exactness" plea
in this wise:-"Garcelon's rule OF
action was very simple. 1t was TO
take advantage of any technicality
that would count out a Republican
legislator, and pass by any technical
ity that would have excluded Dem
ocrat or Fusionist candidate" 1t
was this rule of action which made
it necessary for the Supreme Court
to declare "unconstitutional and H.
legal" the methods pursued by the
Governor and Councils" 'Ei:
The truth is, the more the "rigid"
principles of Constitution and law are
applied to the situation, the more
villainous appears the action of Gov.
Garcelon and Council. 1t is clear
case Of an attempt to rob the people
of their inalienable rights. And the
worst feature of the job is, that it
finds apologists outside Of the princi-
pal criminals themselves.

The river column of the Cincin-
natl Commercial says of the late
Henry Hartwig:
He was endeared to his family by
his affectionate and kind disposition,
always forgiving wrong to encourage
right He had been a member of
the Presbyterian Church for twenty
years, and was known as a lover and
follower of right in all transactions
and walks; this indeed was a prom
inent point of character well known
to all his friends and comrades.
Nor was a duty ever neglected.

DALLAS. OREGON,


DALLAS. OREGON,
Jan. 10th, 1880.
Permit me to reply to the inquiries
OF some of the Gallia JOURNAL
readers through the medium Of your
paper. Eastern residents contem-
plating coming to Oregon will first
want to ascertain the agricultural
resources Of the State.
The Willamette Valley, with the
exception of q few coast counties, is
the only part Of Oregon Of which so
much has been said concerning the
fine climate. Pamphlets circulated
throughout the Eastern States de-
scribe the climate of the Willamette
Valley, and then state, plenty of
land is surveyed and in the market,
leaving the reader to suppose it is
In the W. V. Such Is not the case.
The good lands in the western part
OF the State are all taken up, except
such parts as are covered with heavy
fir timber, of which there is still an
abundance.
Good oak grub covered farms can
be bought for from six to fifteen dol
lars per acre.
In the eastern part of the State
there are millions of acres of good
prairie and bunch grass land open
to settlement. There, however, the
climate Is different; less moisture,
and colder in winter, than the Viii.
lamette Valley.
The principal occupation until
within four OF five years, was stock
raising. It is now settling very fast.
Wheat being the principal produc-
ton.
The ruling prices at Portland q,
present are as follows: Wheat $1.lO
to SLIPS per bu.; Oats SOC. to Soc.
Barley 60 to 75c. Corn is not raised;
Potatoes 50c.; Butter 81 to 45c. per
pound; other prices in like proper.
sion.
The demand for labor is good
mechanics receive So to s. per day;
farm hands $25 to $40 per month
stock herders $40 to $45; female SER
wants SO to IS per week, etc.
The above will give the reader an
outline on which to base conclusions
To those who desire more minute
details, l will take pleasure in re-
plying by letter, if the information
desired is stated In explicit terms.
Respectfully,

Probably a few more lines from
this part of the moral vineyard would
not be amiss. Here they are. First,
the beautiful weather, which is sim
ply delightful for this season Of the
year. / hear great deal Of COM
plant about so much rain. In old
Gsllia mud wide and deep. Not so
here in Missouri. The roads here,
at this time, are about as good as
you generally see them there in
summer, and as for farming purposes
l am Of the impression that Holt
Co. is pretty hard to beat. Corn will
average from thirty.five to seventy
bushels per acre; wheat thirty.
A few words to any one that wants
to find good land. Come to Holt
Co., especially those that have some
capital. Here is the place to find
good, improved, land for sale. AS
to the present crops, l mean the corn
crops especially, / may be stretc hing
the blanket a lite, but I will venture
to say there was as much corn raised
in sight of my house as there was in
all the township I left, namely Rae
coon. This may sound rather loud
to the farmers in old Raccoon, and
l don't know but it does sound
loud, but you must remember / can
see good ways from my house over
the prairies. All that this country
wants is some more good, enterprising
farmers, with a little capital, and it
will be second to none In this great
commonwealth.
This country ls fast filling up on
account of the good farming land
and market facilities. The price of
grain is improving yearly; corn now
selling at twenty-five cents; wheat
so and one dollar and ten cents,
when only year or two ago it only
brought fifty and sixty.

"PeggIng Away at a Dead

From the Vicksburg Herald (Dem.)
Garcelon made a mess of it, and
instead of Strengthening the cause
OF the Democracy of the country,
he has to some extent injured it.
When the election was held in Maine,
there was no claim made that the
Democrats had carried the State.
On the contrary it was conceded in
all quarters that the Republicans
had gained the victory. After
months passed rumors were circu-
lated that enough Republicans would
be counted out to give the control
of the Legislature to the Fusionists.
This was attempted but it has ended
as it should wherever fraud is re-
sorted to, in ignominious failure.

The latest swindle perpetrsted on
farmers is the "census taking" A
gentlemanly fellow drives up with
blanks for statistics of the farm
bushels of wheat. number of cattle
raised, acres under cultivation, etc.
Between the tables and the foot Of
the page where the farmer signs his
name attesting the statement, Is a
blank space, whose existence is
accounted for as attording room for
miscellaneous information. In q
month or more the farmer receives
notice from a neighboring Bank
that his note for $50 is due. He
knews nothing Of the note but in
yestigation shows that the census
taker" has filed the blank with O
promise to pay, which, being now
in the hands of an innocent holder,
must be paid by the unlucky dupe.
