RIGHT IN THE NECIt. &"

Very few, if any, Republican papers
in the State sustain the Oregomia,a in
its attack upon Mitchell. The Dalles
Woasntoineer chops off few of Scott's
locks the Jacksonville Sentinel got
into his gray hairs, but it remains for
the Corvallis Go~ette of last week to
scalp the culprit in the following Ian
guage: (Remember this is ali Rcpub-
lican authority !:
Assuming the Hon. j. Fl. Mitchell
to be what you, the Hon. III. w. Scott,
describe him, and assuming that at some
special period you gained this knowl-
edge of what he was, did you, or when
did you, denounce him rs the imposture
you now tell us he was proved to be 2
You say that you admit that you adj
hered to him too long-the question is,
how long. and how far did this support
of yours last? To what lengths did you

you now tell rs you knew about him
consistent with apparent anxiety on
your part to retain his friendship and
support, long after the disclosures to
which you refer?

4 SUGGESTIVE COMMENTARY.

Last weeks Corvallis Gazette very
sensibly observes that "an instructive
commentary on land agent Prossers re-
port that no road existed is given in
the fact that instructions have been
sent from the department at Washing
ton to Prineville to advertise for bids
for the regular conveyance of the u. s.
mail by wagon over tho road from
PrIreville to Fort Harvey. The dis
tance is upwards of $50 miles, and the
section is just that where Prosser sta
ted that no road could be found.

1880. The total for January of this
year has been $l3,252, 800, against
$i0,0S6,oo0 for the same period of last
year and $s,677, 900 for the same period

A slUERY.

1t seems singular that every few
years somebody has to tamper with the
Bibie-have it revised, corrected, etc.
Is it possible that the Bible in use 200
years ago didn't point the way to heav-
en- as accurately as the revised docu-
ment of the present day Those who
have relied on their Bible in past cen
turies must certainly have believed that
their book and their faith was good,
and they must have fully relied on the
Book for their Heavenly salvation.

Among those present are the president, Mr.

Mckim and Mr.. II. b. Moulton. There were
paper on the subject How shall we re-
store the fertility of our soils?" He advocated
green manuring-the turning under of green
crops-and suggested rye as particularly eco
nOmical This process, he held, would enrich
soils that had been thinIed and washed away.
Col. Chase suggested as a mode of preventing
soils from being washed, that lands be terraced
as are some of the cotton plantations in the
south. strips Of sodded ground 3 or feet wide
being left at intervals. DR.. Mckim's paper was
discussed at considerable length. The club was
entertained at lunch by Col. and Mrs. Chase.

The Yorktown Centennial.

HOW THE GOVERNORS OF STATES WILL BE ACCOM-
MODATED.
Col Corbin master of ceremonies at York
town, has issued a circular in reply to many
inquiries as to what arrangements have been
made for the accommodation of the governors of
states who have accepted the invitation.ef the
commission to participate in the ceremonies
The circular says: 1.-THE absence of original
facilities and accommodations at that point
together with the improbability of first-class
hotels being erected for that occasion. has here
tOfofe deferred the commission from making
any definite decision in the matter. Some of the
governors have solved the problem themselves,
py lhaicatmg desire, and in some cases an abso-
1ute determination to go into camp with their
troops. 1t has therefore been decided to erect
tents OF sufficient capacity and comfort at the
mead OF each state line. directly facing the
Moore" house, the parade grounds, and Gen.
eral hancock's headquarters. for the use Of the
governors of the states and these tents will be
surrounded by other tents for their several
stats. The Governors tents will be fioored and
dltched. and made as comfortable as possible
1t isrequested in this connection. that the state
nag be brought to surmOunt the tent of the
Executive. 1t is believed that this course will
commend itself for manifest reasons to all con-
cerned. AL the same time i'm order that those
who may be disinclined to go into camp, par
ticuarly to lodge there at night, invitations
have been sent to the governors of all the
Commission on board the steamer George
Leary," which will lie at the wharf during the
ceremonies, at convenient distance from the
grounds on board which state rooms will be re-
served for them and their ladies, and meals will
be served on board at all hours.
THE NAVAL. DISPLAY AT YORKTOWN.
Lieut.. Commander H. c. White, U. S. N, has
been designated as navy harbor master at the
anchorage in York river during the Yorktown
centennial. In addition to the other naval YES
sells to congregate at Yorktown there will be the
tugs MayfOwer, Standish, Fortune and Speed
we'll One Of them will be detailed to assist
HarbOr Master White. The others will report
to Rear Admiral Wyman, commanding the North
Atlantic naval force assembled at Yorktown
when he arrives there about October 18th, in the
Tennessee, his flagship. Admiral Wyman will
leave the anchorage at New York next Monday
with the vessels under his command, and the
French corvette DumOnt D'Urvle to await the
arrival of the French guests of the United States
at the quarantine station and then to land them
in New York. Returning to the anchorage the
Kearsage and Vandalia will. on the second day
after their arrival, take the guests aboard and
go to West Point. The guests will return by
rail to New York. The North Atlantic squadron
will then proceed to Yorktown, possibly stop
ping at Hampton Roads to fill the compliments
of the vessels, if there should be time before the
18th of October
