| forwarded to Wilcox the following foru
Of petition, on which the signatures
were to be obtained, and were for
warded to the postmaster general:
The undersigned citizens of Bridge
Creek, Oregon, beg to earnestly rec
ommend to your favorable considera-
tion, an increase of the mail service be-
tween Eugene City and this place to q
daily line, and ask that the speed be
greatly increased. This route supplies
large and rapidly increasing popu-
lation, and it is the sole means Of con-
yeying intelligence to a great portion
of southern Oregon. We believe the
public interest will be greatly sub
served by an early increase of this SER
vice.
Dorsey added to this the following
words of instruction to Wilcox: OF
course you want the wording as well
as the handwriting of each person to be
as different as possible.
Washington, April %, 1S79.-To F.
r. Wilcox, Eugene City: Make con-
tract for Bridge Creek route for speed
of four and a half miles an hour, three
trips a week. No sub contract to be
filed, but payment to be guaranteed by
me personally. Make the same contract
on the Looking Glass route. Telegraph
result. S. w. DORSEY.
The following was the next telegram
received by Wilcox:
Washington, April %. 1S79.-To
+. R. Wilcox: Make no compromise
with sub contractors. Must be abso-
lutely new contract, with amount
specially stated. Telegraph full upon
closing the contracts.
S. w. DORSEY.
Fearing that Wilcox would not fully
understand, Dorsey, at later hour on
the same day, telegraphed again, as
follows:
A new contract becomes necessary, as
the old firm has dissolved and the busi-
ness passes into new hands. Must have
new contract. or no pay. Contract on
Bridge Creek route for three, six and
seven times a week, on schedule of four
miles an hour; also same on Looking
Glass route. Telegraph me fully before
closing any contract. Deal with re-
sponsible men. S. w. DORSEY.
Here the old trick is manifest. The
old firm is dissolved-that is, the straw
bidder was pushed out of the way, and
the ring was now making its next
move. Here is the next telegram:
Washington, May 2, 1S70.-To F. r.
Wilcox: have no interest in star
routes except Bridge Creek and Look
ing Glass. Contract on Bridge Creek
for one, three, six and seven times a
week on schedule of 80 hours, on the
prices named in my letter of the 18th.
The department demands four miles an
hour speed, and you must contract
covering that speed or more. Don't 60
above the following: three times,
5000; six times, $l5, 200; seven times.
SIG, 800. Telegraph me fully before
you close the contracts.

Chicago, May 9.-The Journals
Washington special says: The indica-
tions are that the republican caucus
will be very spicy, if not stormy. Sena-
tor Frye is here to-day, and says he does
not consider it worth while to answer
any speeches of democrats in reply to

to do with that speech He alone was
responsible for its sentiments.
Gen. Hawley denies that he had row
with Conkling in the caucus or declared
that he would vote for Gorham. Dawes
says that so far from being dissatisfied
with his leadership, the president has
urged him to remain here, and he has
dono so, to the detriment of his business
in Massachusetts.

, Ranch Attacked.

Denver, May "a telegram received
by the governor states that on the 9th,
in LaPlata county, a ranch was at
tackled and 140 head of cattle driven off.
Three ranchmen, named Thumb, Smith
and May, were killed. 1t is-not known
who were the attacking party. Some
think they were Indians, and others,
white desperadoes. s-.s
The Netos furnishes the following ad-
ditional particulars: The ranch was
the property of John Thurman. The
governor, upon receipt of the telegram,
telegraphed Gen. Pope, and also sent q
courier from the end of the telegraph
line, to ascertain the truth, and If true
what band of Indians and how mapy
were engaged in the murder; also il
Chief Ignacio was at the southern
agency with the main body of his
tribe. No reply can be received before
tomorrow.
II these depredations were commit
ted by Ignacio's tribe then the situa-
tion is very serious and an outbreak
may be expected any moment.
Gen. Pope answered the governor
saying the report seemed incredible, as
Durango is only IA miles from Fort
Lewis, and he would have been notified
by the commander of that post. News
received by him to-day from the White
River and Uncompagre agencies indi-
cate that everything is peaceable.
A motion was this afternoon argued
in the United States court to quash the

San Francisco, May "a Portland
dispatch says: Dispatches from Denver,
Colorado, published yesterday. give in
formation that legal proceedings had
been commenced there against Senator
Dorsey, Of Arkansas now secretary OF
the national republican committee, for
services rendered to obtain an increase
In the mail service and get additional
pay therefore on the star routes in Or
egon. The announcement attracted
much attention here, more so from the
fact that It was stated that the papers
on which the suit had been instituted
at Denver. had been received from a
well known attorney at Portland, and
that the claimant was well known
politician here. An Oregonian set on
foot an inquiry to-day and got to the
bottom Of the transaction. The his
tory Of 1t fully identifies Dorsey with
the star route robbery.
The claimant in the suit is Frank
b. Wilcox, who, though formerly con-
nected with politics in Arkansas, has
not appeared prominently in politics
here. He went to Arkansas from Illi-
nois in 1869, and became acquainted
with s. w. Dorsey there, because he
was secretary of the state republican
committee of Arkansas, though he
never held any other Office, and bore q
prominent part in the election of Dor
sey to the senate. Desiring to get out
Of politics. he left Arkansas and came
to Oregon in VI. When Dorsey began
to operate in the star routes in Oregon,
he remembered that Wilcox had come
to this state, and as his relations with
him had been of the most intimate
kind, he fixed upon Wilcox as the m an
to help him work up to higher figures
the mail routes in which he had become
interested.
Dorsey first telegraphed to parties in
Portland to learn il Wilcox was here
Having ascertained that he was, he
wrote him, stating what service he
wanted performed, and directed him to
60 to Eugene City, giving instructions
at the same time how to get up petit
tions, have them signed and make sub
contracts for carrying the mails. The
petitions were to be forwarded to
Washington to be used in getting the
service and pay increased. For the
service required, Wilcox was to receive
five dollars day and his expenses.
Before starting for Eugene City, Wilcox
received the following telegram:
Washington, d. c., April 26, 1S79.-
F. r. Wilcox. All my other letters
written to Eugene City. Have tele-
graphed money; enquire at telegraph Of
fee. 90 Immediately.
(signed) s. w. DORSEY.
The money being received for ex.
penses, Wilcox went to Eugene CITY.
where he received Dorsey's other let.
ters, with memoranda, directing him
how to proceed.
The route Dorsey first wished to op-
crate ON was the route from Eugene
City across the Cascade mountains to
Mitchell, in eastern Oregon, by way Of
Prinesville. The route is almost wholly
unnecessary, as 1t passes through near
" an uninhabited country, and the
small centres Of population on 1t east OF
the Cascade range are supplied by other
routes.
Dorsey drew up in his own hand and

Internal Revenue Taxes.

A special Washington telegram to the
Inter Ocean says Commissioner Raum
in his last annual report recommends
that the internal revenue tax be taken
off of bank checks, friction matches,
patent medicines, cosmetics, perfumery,
ETC., bank deposits, saving bank deposits
and bank capital. The amount of inter-
nal tax paid on these articles last year
amounted in round numbers to nearly
$11,OOOOOO, and if it were necessary to
rnduce the revenue it could be readily
done in this way. The increase i'm the
revenue from spirituOus liquors alone
in the past four months, as compared
with the receipts for the same period
last year is over 100000, and if uni
form the increase this year will be about
$21 100000. Commissioner Raum thinks
it possible that reduction of perhaps
$25,OOOOO0 can be made in revenue re-
ceipts If necessary. If the smaller arti-
cles in the tariff list, upon which prOtec-
tiOn is not needed, to the amount of $15,
100000 be stricken fromthe schedule, the
reduction in revenue will be $40,OOO,O00,
as great reduction as the Treasury
authorities think could safely be made.
Traff refOrmers cannot consistently
make reduction of revenues the basis
Of wholesale attack upon the present
tariff. IL reduction is made it can
come far more safely to business in
terests from the internal revenue than
from custom duties.
