this crime is justifiable under the au-
thority of a pretended religious

of crimes would be justiiiable, under

reasons
Freedom OF conscience and Of
speech are sacred domain, which
even government has no right to in
wade, so long as they are confined to
their proper sphere, parties being
rightfullv responsible only for the
abuse of the same. With this limit
alton, one may believe or disbeleve
any thing whatever, and avail him
self Of every occasion to advocate
the same, both by tongue and pen
and he commits no crime, but on the
contrary, exercises right ipalienablc
and indeteaSible. We may do any
thing we please so we do not injure
others, and the law has no right to
interfere. 1t is the ri ght and duty
Of govt rnment, however, TO protect
its citizens against the wrongful and
injurious acts of one another, and
this. too, even if such wrongful or
injurious acts were prompted by the
dictates of an honest conscience or
the supposed obligations of sectarian
creeds and formuaries.
The right, therefore, of congress to
enact such laws as will effectually
suppress and prohibit polygamy, is as
clear as any proposition in logic or
arithmetic. The practical question
TO be determined now is, whether
or not the blll recently passed by
congress will accomplish this praise

broad farce. Mormonism is pol
itico-ecclesiastica despotism, and Its

glance to their so-called church than
to the government itself. This be-
ing so, the difficulty of enforcing any
law for the extirpation of polygamy
is apparent. II, however. it shall be

Two Years in Oregon.

Two years in Oregon by Mr.. Wallis Nash
is we'll written book of 3l0 pages printed
On fine book paper containing several illu :
trations of different parts of the state. The
author criticises in very pleasant manner
the customs and habits of our people viewed
from the standpoint of one who has until
recently been accustomed to the ways and
manners of forei2n people, and many of
these suggestions might be studied with
profit. A thorough description of many
portions of our state with general review
of the resources. industries and general de-
velopment of the state is given, and exhib-
its a more thorough knowledge by the
writer of Oregon than many possess who have
been here for much longer time. The
climate and agricultural progress of the state
is quite thoroughly discussed with valuable
hints upon variety farming. which, if pur-
sued more thoroughly in Oregon, would
prove untold benefit to the country, and
add materially to the profits of the produ-
.ers. Our limited space forbids further
notice of the many other interesting sub
ects treated of in this book. It would,
however, be we'll for all persons who can do
10 to procure and read it. It will be found

Pacific. Depend upon it the sore
gonian' could not tell these men any
lrnth they do not already know
either about Yaquina Bay, or the
trade of Oregon, present Or future;
and as for falschosds they pass like
idle wind. For falsehoods they are,
as every one knows in this town and
country who has now or has ever had
any dealings with Yaquina for years
past. Readers of the GAZETTE know
that hardly any captain has gone in
and out of Iaquina without report
ing the depth of water on the bar
Many OF us are personally acquain,
ted with Captain Carroll, and Cap
tain Winant, and Captain Hillver,
and Captain Lutjens and the other
shipmasters, who. with their crews,
have been using Yaquina Harbor for
vears-and we do not propose to
iiscied what all these men and
many others too, equally reliable,
have been reporting all this time
about the depth of water on the bar,
because some newspaper hack in the
upstair room in Portland, who most
probably has never been within a
hundred miles Of Yaquina, or talked
with more than one other man
who bas been there, has been
told TO write that "thcre is less
than Is feet depth of water on
the Yaqnina Bar at highest tide.
Mr.. Hogy's and Mr.. Nash's false
statements to the contrary notwith-
standing, and there is not deep water
room in Yaquina Bay for a large
fleet"
If Oregon investments and Oregon
securities don't get more harm than
they are likely to get from the Ore
gon Pacific we people who live in
Oregon have not much cause for
alarm. We have not heard yet of
any investors in the Oregon Pacific
wriggling and squirming to find
means TO pay up their assessments
on watered stock.
BY the way, the "Willamette Far
mer' insinuates that the Oregon
Pacific stock, some of which seems
TO be attached to the bonds, so as to
give the bond holders a real interest
in the property of the company, is
'watered stock" Now our old
'riend S. A. Clarke knows bet err than
his. So old a dabbler in O. & C. |
abroad stocks, in The good old days
If Ben Holiday, S. G. Elliott and
). A. Clarke himself, cannot possibly
ave forgotten all he knew about
Ewatered stock"-perhaps he calls
"negus" now. Know what
'negus" stock is Made up of |
vh)ine and water-possibly though
Ifter all, the old m an has forgotten.
Well then "water" stock is, not
o fix even an extravagant estimate
IN the stock an enterprise will carry
1t ats commencement, but, to "water"
took is to make the biggest possible
howing OF profits or dividends after
he business has been running for a
While, and then to divide up the
ominal shares, 10 as TO get new
purchasers in and let the original,
edrock, holders get out at a profit.
Perhaps some of our Portland friends
'ho are stockh olders now in some of
hese Willard enterprises could "rise

wards Superior. He has built large number
of shanties up there for the men and has clear
ed the road bed for seventeen miles. He says
that all he has received for what ne has done
ON the roads $4,000, while he ought to have
received 1000, and that the stopping OF the
work is an immense damage to him. The men
he had at work are still up there and what
they will do he cannot imagine. They have
no money and nothing to live on.
HOW THEY MADE THE TRIP.
Mr.. L. H. Maxfeld, who went up to Veazie
with the others, to see what could be saved
out of the wreck, gives quite humorous ac-
count of the trip. He went up by the way OF
Hudson, and not in the special train char
tered by Messrs. Kelly and Lindexe for that
purpose. When he arrived he found that the
representatives of the creditors and some OF
the creditors themselves on the ground. IL
was blistering cold, and Mr.. Llndeke nad ooln
ears frozen stiff and suffered good deal. He
says that Mr.. Erickson appeared to be acting
in the utmost good faith, and returned all the
goods he had left to those he purchased them
Of. Maxfield's goods were among the last
that Erickson purchased in st. Paul, and ne
got back three or four car loads OF them, in
the original packages just as they left the
store. These Mr.. Maxfield sold out up there.
Mr.. Llndeke and MI. Kelly also gOt oack d
good many of their goods. he says
further that the 500 men Erickson
had in his employ are in a
dangerous state of excitement, and that in
his opinion it would not be safe for Mr.. Erick
son to 20 up there. These men are Swedes,
and cannot understand that Erickson is as
much victim as they are. Nor can they un-
derstand that the blame is to be attached to the
Construction Company and others above
Erickson. He believes that If MIR. Erickson
should 60 up there they would kill him.

known as STOOL friends" The complete
absence, however, of even the appear
ance of circumlocution and discrimination
in his case, is the best possible evidence
of the honest and patriotic motives
which actuate him in his efforts to effect
the release of our imprisoned fellow
countrymen. But the absence of judy
ment and respect for the law, in the
formulation of his views, are elements
of weakness which must necessarily
prove fatal to the success of his resolu-
tions. They will, however, serve the
good purpose of fortifying Congress and
the American people in vigorously as
sorting the rights of our citizens under
all circumstances when abridged by any
power whether on land or sea- 1t should
not be expected of our government
to undertake to shield its citizens from
punishment for violating the laws of
England or any other government; but
ON the other hand there is strong feel
ing, which pervades all classes and con-
ditions in this country, that an American
citizen shall be protected in the enjoy
ment of his personal and property rights
throughout the length and breadth of
christendom. The present agitation of
this subject will also tend to modify the
present radical and oppressive policy of
the British government in dealing with
the hish people. GladstOne's iron rule
in Ireland is contrary to enlightened pub
lie policy, and any steps taken by our
government calculated to temper it with
mercy. will be applauded by the lovers
of liberty and good government in every
land.

CHICAGO, Jan. 4.--Wheat was again the
center of attraction on change to-day. The
trading was very heavy, but almost entirely
speculative. All advices were favorable, and
the receipts were small, especially No. 2. The
prices, nevertheless, opened at @Mc lower,
under a rush to sell, but the ruling was weak,
and declined until they were &c below yester-
days best figures. The inquiry then i'm
proved, and the advance was steady until this
decline was entirely recovered, when some
fluctuations occurred, and the closing was
only only nc below yesterday. The sales were
at 81. 33%@1. 9Sx for February; .345s@1. 1863
for March and 1879 91. 1915 for May.
On call the sales were immense, footing up
to $254, 900 bushels. Prices were little bet
ter, averaging I@%c higher. Corn was I'M
settled, irregular and fairly active, with free

some OF the decline was recovered before the

CITIZENS IN BRITISH
PRISONS

The resolution introduced in congress
by Mr.. Cox calling on the president for
all correspondence with the British gov
eminent having reference to the case of
d, 81. O'Connor. an American citizen i'm
prisoned In Ireland, has been followed up
by Mr.. Robinson, of New York, and
others introducing resolutions of more
radical character on the same subject.
The action taken by Mr.. Cox is with the
view of making O'Connor's a test case
for the release of all naturalized or ma
tive born American citizens now impris-
oned under the act of the Brit
ish parliament suspending the
writ of habeas corpus in Ire
land. Mr.. Cox represent in congress
district in New York which contains a
very large Irish element, and the conser-
vativc course he has seen fit to pursue in
getting our government to interest itself
in behalf of Americans now imprisoned in
Ireland, indicates purpose on his part
of insisting that the United States shall
take formal proceedings having in view
the release and protection of our citizens
now undergoing imprisonment in British
jails even at the risk of a rupture Of the
friendly relations now existing between
the United States and Great Britain.
The absolute freedom of Mr. Cox's reso-
lutions from the usual claptrap of the
demagogue, and the care he has taken
TO place The subject before the British
government on tenable grounds and in the
light of case requiring only the good
offices of our government to bring about
an amicable adjustment of all differences
and the consequent release of our citizens
from Irish prisons, is not only creditable
to his craftsmanship and prudence, but
also in marked contrast with the course
pursued by other members of congress,
who have never been suspected of having
any particular interest in, or affection
for, the Irish race, unless about election
time.
In strong contrast with Mr.. Cox's
course, we find Mr.. Robinson of the same
state, offering resolution that it is not
only the duty of our government to in
sist on the Immediate liberation of Ameri-
cans now imprisoned in Ireland, but also
to insist ON the release of British
subjects imprisoned as suspects under
the act suspending the writ of
habeas corpus in Ireland. Mr. Robin

Interview With Mr.. jackson.
Especial to the Globe.]
MILWAUKEE, Jan. A.-Semtinel special from
GAINESVILLE: A. A. Jackson, who is charged
with creating great sensation in railway cir
cles, said to-day when his attention was called
to telegram from st. Paul yesterday, and
one from New York to-day, that no such con-
versatlon as reported in the ST.. Paul dispatch
occurred, that Mr.. Barnes did not object to
the sale; that the sale included large amount
of stock owned by Jno. C. Barnes and Chas. j.
Barnes, in which jackson had no interest; that
Chas. j. Barnes, of Chicago, nephew of, and
representing Jno. c. Barnes, concluded the
preliminary negotiations; that Jackson did not
see the purchasers until the terms had
been fully discussed; that after the offer made
for the stock and before it was decided fact
he communicated to Gen. Schofeld, president
of the railway company, and he was urged to
take it at the same price, which he declin-
ed to do; that an offer was also communicated
to the Grand Trunk officials and they were
urged to take it at the same prices which they
declined to do; that the stock held by Jack
son was then owned by Barnes, and jackson
offered it to Gen. Schofeld for about half of
the price offered for the stock of Barnes and
jackson; that Gen. Schofeld declined to take it
and that before Barnes and Jackson accepted
offer made them, the general manager of the
Grand Trunk Informed Mr.. Porter, of the
Omaha company, that the Grand Trunk COM
pany, was not aiding the Chicago, Portage and
the Superior companies, and would not fur
nish money for that company to build it's
roads. The sale of the stock was an ordinary
business transaction and did not in any man
ner affect the organization Of the company or
its ability to succeed with its work.
A New York special says: Gen. VIM. A..
Schofeld, of Brooklyn, president Chicago,
Portage q Superior, declares the officers of
the road will resist the efforts to take
the road out of their hands. The
sert they can outvote the Jackson crowd
They also claim that Jacksoa's stock cannot
be voted, as less than IS per cent. has been
paid up. John c. Barnes, large stakeholder
in New York, says he ought to transfer to the
Omaha company.
