was as follows: "rhe designations of Messrs.
Graves and James were not offered 10 the
Council; but, in accordance with the law, had
TO be forwarded to Gov. Bate, who has th e
power to fill vacancies. We knew that if
the matter was widely oanyassed, Gov. Bate
would be worried with all sorts of petitions,
and all We did was to suggest suitable men

want to see prolonged contest, such as is
now being waged for the Office of coal-oil in
epector. AT an informal meeting Saturday

excellent men. Finally we conferred upon

him and Senator Galloway to introduce me

Oregon and Pacific Railroad.

A recent dispatch from San Francisco,
says: A gentleman prominently connected
with the management of the Oregon Pacific
railroad arrived from the east Saturday,
where he has been engaged for the past two
months in matters relating to the construc-,
ton OF the proposed road. In conversation
with sn Oregoaian correspondent he stated
he was unable to give any detailed account
of the contemplated work or the result of
his labors in the east, as arrangements had
not been finally consummated. It wa. not
improbable that within the next two weeks
matters would assume definite proportions
so that work will be commenced on short
order after the receipts of certain plans.
At present the only thing he could STAGE ad.
wisely i, that every Important developement
are under consideration, and when finally
decided upon flank movement would be
made and work pushed on to speedy conclu-
sion. A sab!egran from London is anxious
ly awaited, which would determine the COM
plexion of matters to considerable extent

EEEsQUIT GRASS.

Mesquit grass keeps green the
year round, is very hardy, takes root
quickly-a mere scattering Of the
seed over the surface of the ground
being sufficient-makes good hay for
cattle, I've seen horses eat it with
sppsrent relish, and kills out fern.
Upon the latter poin. + great many
adverse opinions are held, but sm
speaking from experience and can
show any incredulous reader email
patch which I sowed two years ago
in meseuit, which then was quite
thick with fern bat is now entirely
covered with mesquit grass and also
other patches in process Of trsnsfor-
nation. Most farmers who have
given it a fair trial are of the same
opinion. 1t grows well on hillsides
requiring but little soil to propagate
it. CORRESPONDENT.

The doctrine of polygamy a. taught and
practiced by the filth and scam of humanity
in Utshis doubtless gaining ground despite
the long .winie,} consideration OF congress.
says the Prineviiie Nesrs. It's growth and
spread seems to be as certain fate; ;snd the
''saints" pay no heed to the acts OF the gov
ernment regarding their behavior, but act
right on in the capacity Of psnderers. The
pillars OF this degenerate iustitntion have
become zoo firmly fixed to be.iorn down and
destroyed by ordinary legislation. The
cause k.s become an obstinate, if not All al
arming one. and only the severess restraints
will sever its pertinacious bold upon weak
humanity. Blind zeal if not an evil isseif
is productive Of evil results Of worst chsrac-
ter, which fact is made plain, we think by
= glance a. the rotten institutions Of Mormon
ism. And if the suppression OF great evil
IS conducive to the welfare and seenlly be-
hayior Of state or nation, why daily long
er about this wholesome sacrifice OF virture
honor, principle and common decencyy! TIE
government in its great solicitude for the
welfare and protection Of religious liberty,
has tolerated this inexcusable degradation
too long. Because the vie practice of poly
ga.ny is mantled with the false cloak of wor-
ship, is only another and better reason why
It should be suppressed. Ifsevere measures
must be instituted to restrain it, we cannot
see any policy in delaying the matter. On
the contrary. to delay longer what is SO es-
sentiaI to the common laws OF propsiety, is
we believe, to forget our national pride. aad
loose prestige in the eyes Of all civilization.
