Epnram 1. Wilson, who has just been
elected Senator from MARYLAND. is one of The
associate justices Of the first judicial circuit
OF the State. His election was brought
about in peculiar way. The Democrats
~Sgo divided between Comptroller Heating,
viz Eas the recognized candidate of the
rilg, and Judge Robinson who was the can
o.dste of the anti-ring faction. On the
sssellih ballot Senator Moore, one of the Re
tasiloan leaders, who had been voting for a
hsepoblican candidate, changed his vote TO
johnson and two other Republicans fol-
ac"ed. The State ring Democrats, thinking
That Trade had been made between the
Sspublicans and the anti-ring Democrats to
acct Democrat, and taking it for granted
that the solid Republican vote was to be
thrown for Robinson, became panic stricken
and began to transfer their votes TO Wilson.
stampede ensued in which Robinson was
almost entirely deserted and Wilson'S vote
run up to 6S, Sc beirg necessary for a choice.
wilson Is hostile to the ring and was the
second choice of the anti-riug Democrats.
Had the Republicans not begun voting for
Robinson there is little doubt but that Keat-
ing, would ultimately have been elected, for
csucns was to be held in a day or two
when the plan was to force Keating's nom
ination. 10 the Republicans therefore be
longs the credit of preventing the victory of
the ring.

The Mexican treaty failed of ratification
By vote of 80 yeas to 20 nays, not the nee
essary two-thirds. A change Of one vote. it
will be seen, would have ratified it. Before
the vote was declared Senator Morgan, who
had voted in the affirmative, changed his
vote SO thai he might make motion to re-
consider. 1t is not believed that the motion
TO reconsider will accomplish anything mas
much as the time within which it was pro-
yideG that the treaty must be ratified has
expired. As the executive session. of The
Senate is secret the vote of individual Sena-
tors is not positively known, bat 1t is report

the schedule fer visits is $500, which would

Douglas County.

Douglas county is destined to out
strip all ether portions of the State, in
wealth and population. We have a
climate and soil unsurpassed By any on
the globe. The county is ounded on
the nolth by n, Calapooia mountains
aud the Sinslaw river; on the tst by
| the Cascade mountains; on the south
| by the Cow Creek hills, and on the
west by the Coast Range mountains
and the Pacific ocean. It has an ir-
regular shaped boundary and in extent
is an average of one hundred miles
north and south by seventy-fve miles
east and west, and comprises that vast
section kno wn as the Umpqua valley.
It is drained by the Umpqua rivers and
their tribntarv, and is the best watered
and at the same time the best drained
section of couf t"v on the face Of Il e
globe both the Moth and South Um; =
qua as well as the main river aboal d
with tie best natural water powers from
thsir source to tl.eir entire length, that
can he found in America. The extreme
cold rarely gets below ten degrees above
zero or the extreme heat ninety above
[ le west section Is a mean between the
W .llamette and the Sacrame ito valleys S
while the summers are more moist and
pessent than either, the humidity of
the atmosphere is such t'lat the pas
lures are perfectly green and still grow
ing in many places throughout the val
e. at this season Of the year While
t e entire county is ore vas vale
surrounded by high mountains, it is
composed of series Of small valleys
and high hills The low lands being
principally those which are cultivate ID
and are very rich and productive. The
land is mostly owned and held in large
tracts, and only small proportion of
that which is we'll adapted to agri-
Gu ire is cultivated. The young frs
and jack or ks are overruning and tax
ing some ofIthe besC of farm land. The
great drawback TO grain ralsi" g his been
the high rate of transportation which
viii in a measure account for the lack
OF agriculture. The prospect of rail
road direct to deep water aud cheap
transportation, will attract men and
capital to this favored locality.
The county abounds with large for
ests Of the best fiji, pine and cedar, a
large portion of which is unsuryeyed
government lands, while a portion Of
the mountain sections are known to be
underlaid with the very best of anthra-
cite and bt1menous Goals, and gold
mines are proitably worked in different
sections of the county. While our fa-
vored climate, rich soil and extr .ordi-
nary facilities for manufactures, and
rich d apc s tes of coal and lumber, it
does not require the wisdom of a pro-
phet, to predict grand future for
Douglas county.

EDITOR INDEPENDENT It has lem
foolishly asserted by the advocates OF
free whisky that there would be less
drunk nnes If there was no restraint
by law upon the h.shy traffic. We
have been free from the deeterious in
faence o; a whisky shop until few
days ago, wien all at once a house was
opened ard work commenced, to ar
range for whisky shor The boys
began to gather around the place at late
hours, and il was observed that few
were intoxicated and lay out all night
in corn field. Old johnny looked
bald and Mat looked wild to see who
would speak first in our peaceful com
munity, and TO- and behold, the noble
woman, mans helpmate, made their ap
p aeance Sunday evening and demand
ed to know the cause of this new ex-
eltement among the chill lren, and old
Johnny began to look wild, and ordered
the ladies to vacate his premises, but
they crled the more to know of the
enemy that had sowed the seed of dis
cord in our midst Mat declared that
h. had nothing in his premises that
would ihioxicate. But no, this answer
was not believed. Finally old Johany
broke for his house, and Mat declared
if there was anything in his house that
would intexlcate it should be- removed
within five days, after which a good old
song of triumph was sung by the be-
siegers, they returned to their homes
with glad hearts. What is it that the

Demurrer Overruled.

In the q. s. District Court Monday
last. Judge Deady overrued the de
mulrer in the case of Abraham,
Wbeele. & Co. vs. the Western Union
Telegraph Company. The suit was
brought on account of an error In a
message sent to the firm from Glendale
TO Roseburg The message as written,
said: "Don't sell any wheat; hold few
days" and when received it real:
"Don't sell all wheat; hold few days.
In consequence of the mistake the firm
sold quite lot of wheat and sustained
a loss Of some few thousand dollars,
which they are now suing to recover
The grounds Of the demurrer was that
the complaint did not state facts sufii-
cient, and that the error in the tele-
gram in receiving the word "any" as
|all'' did not make any difference, as in
al events they had been told to hold a
few days. His honor thought there
had been material change and ruled
accordingly. This decision insures a
judgment for plaintiff and seems to be
as it should.

Music.

We have received from Richard 4
S#alield, II Bible House, n. Y, the
following pieces of music
"Blaine's Grand March, by Wagner,
which is a very effective piece, written
in marked time, well adapted to Torch
light professions and serenades, and ar
ranged for piano or cabinet organ. 7
lustrated, with a really fine portrait of
the Republican candidate.
"Our Plrmed Knight Leads the
Way" campaign song by Harrison
Millard. A stirring Republican song
The best of it's kind we have seen.
Written by the famous song writer.
Harrison Millard, author of "Flag of
the Free" "W aitins," ''When the
Tide Comes in" etc.
Leaning DER the Gate" by Danks,
author of "Silyer Threads Among the
Gold, and over one hundred other
well-known and popular song. A
really good melody, adapted to pretty
words. Sure to sing itself into the
hearts OF thousands.
"Why Did They Dig Mas Grave SO
Deepl" by Skellr. A song which has
had an immense sale. The melody is
sweet and the words taking. One of
these fongs, which once heard, are sure
to strike the "hidden chord" Simple
enough to be sung by child at schoo
exhibition, and yet taking enough to
be hummed by "grown ups"
Each of the above pieces retail for
40 cents at music stores, but the pub
fishers will send the four, postpaid for
so cents, in order to compile statist -
cal list of such parties as own pianos or
organs and use sheet music.
