said much more than have been able to
write, but here is enough to show his
position. 1t seems to me to he too
stroug for assault and too fair for adverse
criticism by either side. The RepOrttr,
will put his position thus in its issue OF
tomorrow
''NOne will be more earnest or more
active in giving such support than Sena-
tor Davies himself Mr. Davies is n be-
lever, and strong believer, in the doc
trine that party differences should be set
tied within party lines. He counts the
success of the Republican party and tire
advancement OF its principles as of far
more Importance than the victory Of a
faction or the honoring of an individual.
Believing this, he and his friends will
give to General BaiIy cordial, hearty
support +. y. b.

A big scheme.

On the 18th of August Capt. Powell,
acting L. :. engineer of this district,
contracted with Chalmers & Holmes,
stonemen and builders OF thts city, to
remove from the channel of the Co
lumbia in the gore of the Cascades,
certain rocks which now present the
most serious difficulties to navigation
of that part of the river. Commence
ing at Big Eddy rapids, $500 feet be-
low the lower end of the canal, there
is series of rocks and reefs extending
about 10000 feet down the river. Cap
tain PowelFs plan contemplates re-
moval of these rocks, the results hoped
being broader channel, equalization
of the slope of the river bed, and de-
crease of the current at its present
points of maximum velocity. The
contract Just let-for S50,000 at SO per
yard for all work above low water
mark-will only commence the work,
and until practical experiments have
developed its character, the methods
best adapted to it, and their cost, no
estimates can be made of the cost of
the whole scheme, nor of the time
necessary to accomplish it. Chalmers
& Holmes have already commenced at
Big Eddy Rapids, the upper point Of
the obstruction, and must, according
to its terms, complete their contract
during the present low-water season.
Just now their men are working from
the shore, but rs the water recedes
will operate with scows and a tug
boat. Capt. Powell says that when
these rocks are removed, loaded boats
can run up to the foot of the canal
without delay or risk during six
months of the year. In the face OF
present. difficulties three steamboats,
have made the passage, and in the
spring of last year scow 20xS0 feet,
used in canal work, was sailed through
the gore without trouble. le.-Orcgonidn

The Oregon short Line.

The Chicago Tribune has this para
graph on the "Oregon Short line:'
This road leaves the main line at
Granger, S26 miles west of Omaha,
and runs in nortwesterly direction,
following Ham river to Hodges pass,
thence on to Baker City and probably
to Portland, Or. This line is now
graded for Il distance of $50 miles to
the Bear river basin, and work is GO
ing on beyond Hodges pass. The To-
cation is now made from Bear river
basin to Snake river, and surveyors
are now in the field all the way to
Baker City. A branch is to run
from this line following Wood river
to the Chalis and Bonanza mining
camps in Idaho, where very rich
deposits of silver and gold ore have
recently been discovered. 1t is the
intention to have the line completed
to Baker City by January, 1888. The
principal object of building this line
is to make the Union Pacific COM
petitor with Wizards company, aud
the managers of the Union Pacific
claim t hat this will be by long odds
the shortest, most available and best
route from Chicago to the Columbia
river, and while the Willard route
has outlets to the lakes of Duluth,
their Oregon line leads directly to
Chicago, and can find no other outlet.
There were reports that the Union
Pacific will not get the line through
the Fort Hall Indian reservation,
but the managers state that there is no
truth in the rumors, because treaty
has just been negotiated with the In
dians for the right of way aud depot
grounds, and the agreement has been
signed by all the chiefs interested.

bling light cannonade, throwing
clouds of dust and smoke into the air
and sending showers of rock far out
into the river. When the road is fin
ished between the Dalles and Port
land, ride over it will afford II treat
to lovers of mountain scenery, which
cannot be eXcelled in any other part
of the earth. Those of our readers
who have made the passage between
the points by steamer, and gazed in
awe and admiration upon the tower
ing mountains, upon whose heights
tall pines are dwindled into shrubs in
dizziness of distance, between which
flows the mighty Columbia, will miss,
in riding the cars through the same
region, one-half of the picture, because
only the mountains on the Washing
ton side of the river can be seen
from the car window. But those who
come after us will find enough to ad-
mire in half the magnificent scenery
to compensate them for the expense of
the trip. The o. r. Il n. Co. will, we
understand, put observatory cars on
this portion of the road for the benefit
of tourists. Wata Watta Union.

NUMBER 3.


Guitteau is not so insane put that
he is nationally afraid of the conse-
quences of his damnable crime.
knowing well the deep public execra-
ton of his heinouS act, he is con-
stantly in fear lest the authorities will
be unable to protect him from the
public fury; and, like the coward he is,
he now wants the president to live,
solely through the terror of cOnse-
quences to himself should his victim
die. This worthless scoundrel, owing
to the imperfections of our laws, will
never be dealt with as he deserves.
Assoon as the result in the presidents
case is known Guitteau ought to be
put on trial, promptly convicted and
then sentenced first to forty stripes
day for thirty consecutive days and
after that(in case the presidents wound
has terminated fatally be dragged to
the gallows and strangled like dog;
orin case the president lives) be sent
to labor in a prison for the rest of his
life. But the inadequacy of our laws
makes it impossible to inflict on him
any proper or propOrtOnable punish
ment. To such a wretch hanging or
mere Imprisonment is nothing. But
the whip would reach sensibilities on
which an impression could be made;
and if this sneaking coward and assas-
sin We're logged as he ought to be, it
would be Il long time before another
freak of ''insanity" would display it
self in an attempt on the life of the
president of the United States. If the
president should die it will probably
be difficult to protect the assassin
from popular violence, though the au-
thorities are taking all posi- bic pre-
cautions. The feeling among the peo-
pie that he ought to be summarily
dealt with, grows mainly out of their
perception of the fact that the law
can inflict on him no adequate pun
ishment, even if it hangs him.-Ore-
gonidn.

According to the Railroad Gazette
published in New York. railway
construction is going on at this mo-
ment faster than ever before. Dur
ing the first half of the present year
the country increased its railroad
mileage 3,ll0 miles. against 1881
miles for the corresponding period OF
1880, l,o73 miles in 1879, 947 mlles In
1878, 574 miles in 1875, 9l3 miles In
1874, 1896 miles in 1873 and 1872
miles in 1872. II will be seen that
the mileage for the period Of 1872 was
greater than this year by 272 miles,
but the roads now under the course OF
construction will make the aggregate
much greater 10y the end of the year
than the whole construction Of 1872.

The One Cent Fund.

A man named Cook, in Ohio, an eX-
soldier, slapped the mouth of one
Morrison for saying that he Morrison
hoped that President Gartield's wound
would prove mortal. Morrison had
Cook arrested for assault, for which
the latter was fined $40 and costs,
amounting in all to So. Whereupon
the Cincinnati Commercial called for
one cent subscriptions to reimburse
Cook for so laudable IA job, agreeing to
print the name of every contributor
and to forward the money. Up to
last report the Commercial had pub=
lished the names of 62,6l5 contribu-
tors, and the cry was still the same.
The editor says:
The fine and ostslimposed by cop
perheaded squire of Capt. Cook have
been paid, and he has received from
us Sl50 gold We have purchased IA
heavy American gold watch and chain,
the case of which is being manufac-
tured according to special directions.
The cost will be about Sl75. The rest
of the money we shall invest in 4 per
cent bonds of the denomination OF
500 sending any margin of funds in
cash. The only recommendation we
shall venture to make to him, is that
he shall invest in scrap-books so as to
preserve with care and in order the
original MSS. Of the lists Of subscrib-
ers.

Organize Clubs.

We are now on the threshold of the
most important canvass to the interests
of this State which has ever occurred in
all its eventful history, and, as it will be
short one, no time should be lost
in organizing Conservative-D Democratic
Clubs In every neighborhood. Every
son of Virginia who feels an interest in
the fair fame, the honor, and true inter-
ests of the State, and wishes to save her
from the direful fate to which her foes
would consign her, should labour ear
nestly from now till the day of election
to secure the triumphant success Of the
excellent ticketInominated by the State
Convention Of the CONGRATULATIONS
cratic party.
Delay not, but organize..clubs at once,
and see that every man. shall do his duty
to his mother State in this the time Of
her trial and necessity. We pray that
no son of Virginia will be recreant tc
his duty, but that each one will act his
part well, and that all will participate in
the good work of savingiVirginia from
q direful fate.

Condition Of the President.

The Baltimore Sun says that the "un'
official reports OF the Presidents condi.
ton received at late hour Sunday
night are far from encouraging. It il
feared another 'pus cavity has formed
and preparations are being made for
thorough exploration of the wound fol
the purpose Of ascertaining, If possible,
the point at which tho flow Of pus has
been interrupted. The President suf-
fered somewhat from the excessive heat
on Saturday. it being found impractica'
BILE to keep the temperature of his room
much below 80 without closing the door
and windows, and this was not deemed
advisable. TIE afternoon fever wal
rather higher than usual, but it subsidized
before 10 o'clock, and the patient slept
well, without morphia or any other an
odyne. On Sunday he took his nour'
ishment as usual and slept at intervals
but his pulse and temperature rose te
the points which always excite alarm
The consulting physicians, Drs. Ham
ilton and Agnew, remained with thu
President Sunday, and their names
were appended to the morning and
evening bulletins.

Democratic Ticket.

The Conservative Democratic Con-
vention, which assembled in Richmond
last week, nominated by reclamation
the following able ticket, which is en-
titled to the cordial and enthusiastic
support of every well-wisher of the
State of Virginia:
For Governor, John w. Daniel, Of
Lynchburg.

bour, Of CuIpeper.

Mckinney, of Farmville.
Having devoted 30 much of our space
this week to the publication of the pro-
ceedings of the Convention, which al
will read with interest. we have not the
space at command in this issue to speak
of the merits of the candidates nomi-
mated as they deserve, and must content
ourselves with saying that they are, ir
every respect, worthy of the support O
every true son of Virginia, and deservs
to be triumphantly elected over the CO
alitionists, who propose to betray ant
Radicalize the State.
