lished notice. No counter statement
has been presented or opposition made
to it other than as before stated, the
question now to be detrmined is
whether the State can, consistently
with its dignity, and the duty which it
owes to its citizens, in maintaining
order in tho community, in protecting
them in their rights. and in securing
then. in their person, afford to COM
mule the sentence of death to that of
imprisonment for life.
1t involves matter strictly between
the commonwealth AMI powers. No
feelings of naltce or vindictiveness
can enter into it. If the lesser pan
ishment will subserve the ends of JUS
tice, il it is adequate under the circum-
stances of the case, then it would be IL
great moral wrong to intiict the great
er, it would be closing the door of
mercy, quality of our nature that is
more refining and ennobling i'll its
tendency than any other attribute we
possess. It has been suggested with Il
degree of seriousness that there would
be no objection to the communication OF
Powers sentence if any reasonable as
surance could he given that he would
be imprisoned during his natural life,
but that the apprehension was SO strong
that he would at some future time be
released, made it very necessary that
he should be put to death. OF course
I cannot consider ony arguments OF
that character | have no right to
suppose that he will be relieved of his
sentence unless circumstances should
Justify it. Besides, the question for
me to determine is not one OF expedi-
eucy. | am obliged to decide it upon
it's merits, unintluenced by antlcipa
tioIl Ils of :; possible neglect of duty
upo n the part Of some future govern
or Of the State After careful con-
sideration of The various circumstan
ces connected with the transaction,
and though "A respect for the opinion OF
| the great number of persons who have
urged the exercise of executive elem
ency in this matter. | have conclu-
dcd to commute the sentence against
Powers to imprisonment for life.
| And | base my actions in the prem
i.es upon the grounds that the sub
stituted punishment is sufficiently
severe in this case to subserve the
ends and purposes OF justice.
Upon the question of full pardon
deem it proper to state that I can
see no gronds whauever upon which
it could be granted No one has a
right to attemp- to vindicate his
wrongs, whether real or imaginary, 'y
violent measures. Such cours
would b., subversive of law and order
and if not promptly checked would
break up and destroy society itself.
Tie jury has settled the question us
to which party was the agglessor in
the affair, and the degree of the of
fense, and while the general c.rcum-
stances surrounding the transaction,
that could not be taken into account
by the jury, may, out of a regard fot
hnman~lfe, justify mitigation of the
punishment they should not be admit
ted to excuse the otfense. Powers
conduct has been handed and
malicious, and if the rigor of the law
is fixed by the spirit of mercy, still the
CLAIMS of justic mus not be disregarded
The sentence, i'll my Judgment, should
not he changed be, ond the commuta
ton mentioned. w. w. THAYER.

Why IT is FHUs.-As mater cf
interest to the ladies and wool growers
of this county, we quote the following
from New York paper: "fhe stitfen-
ing in the price of medium grade woods
is due to the caprice of fashion. Since
the ladies have deter mined to wear the
broad striped worsted goods the conf
ing season the manufacturers, to serve
their own interests, must manufacture
that class of goods. Hence, medium
fine grades have gone up and the finer
and coarser grades have fallen in
value"

Quick RELIEF. Hermann An
lauf, of Drain, had suffered intensely
with nervous spasms for two days, at
times requifing several men to hold
him in bed. The spas.ns were caused
from the root of broken tooth press
ing upon the nerve. On Monday DR..
M. W. Davis, of this city, was tele-
graphed for, and he went to Drain
upon a freight train. He found the
patient suffering intense agony. The
doctor removed the broken tooth which
at once gave, relief, whereupon Mr..
Anlauf was the happiest man in Ore
gon. Dr. Davis retarned home on the
evening train.

WILBUR ACADEMY. This long es-
tsblished and popular institution of
learning, according to notice which
appears elsewhere in our columns,
commences its fall term on the 4th
day of September, Under the super
vision of Prof Fl. T. Benson, assisted
by able and popular teachers. Prof.
Benson took charge of this school a
little over two year ago, and has
raised it from the position of an acad-
emy, which it had obtained under Prof.
Skidmore and other teachers, to one OF
the first class coll ages of the state.
From its pleasant situation in the little
town of Wilbur; free from the inhu-
ence of saloons, in the midst of sober
industrious anc orderly community; its
altitude and position in the center of
the Umpqua Valley, renders it the most
healthful locality, mentally, morally
and physically that can be found on
the pacific coast for college Prot.
Benson and the other teachers asso-
ciated with him deserve the patronage
and support of the people of this
county, in the work they are doing in
the cause of eoucation.
