General Grants Autobiography

NEW YORK, Feb 27.-The Century Company
will not publish General Grants autobiography,
as at first supposed. 1t is not that he objected
to the Century Companys terms, but personal
reasons led him to accept the proposition of MIR.
Charles L. Webster, Mark Twain's agent and
publisher, who has just taken one of General
Grants sons in business with him. The Century
Company and General Grant are the best of
friends, but the claims of Mr.. Webster are of a
longer friendship

PENDANT Sentenced to Life Imprisonment.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
BLooMINGToN, Feb. 27.-After being out
forty-eight hours, the jury in the Feeder murder
case returned verdict, at 1.30 o'clock, finding
William WEIGH guilty of murder in the first de-
gree, and assessing the punishment at mprison-
ment for life in the State prison. When the
verdict was read the courtroom crowded
with excited citizens, who broke out in applause.
Feeling is very high, and had the verdict been
anything less than this the crowd could not have
been controlled. Weleh at first did not seem to
comprehend the result, but in few minutes he
grasped the meaning of the verdict, and as he
was being returned to jail he broke down and
began crying. Shortly after, your correspon-
dent called upon him. Welch said he was COM
pletely taken by SURPRISE he expected nothing
but acquittal He laid the result at the door of
Matthew James, who gave an alleged
confession, and said his liberty for life had
thus been sold at auction for the 800

apply for new trial in tie morning, on the
grounds that other important evidence has been
developed. Tomorrow, Alice Stuart will be
called up for trial. though the case is to go over
till next term. She is charged as an accomplice
of Welch, as he was with her, on the night the
murder was committed from IL to o'clock.
Your correspondent talked with her this even
ing. and she seemed much affected over the SEN
tence of WEIGH, but stoutly protests her limo
cence, saying that if WEIGH committed the MUIR
der, he slipped out of the room while while she
was asleep When asked why she did not con-
fess, now that punishment was certain, she said:
GAS God is my witness have told time and
time again, all know. How can I tell any
more?r
WEIGH is twenty four years DID, and the Stu
art woman twenty. She is nice-looking girl,
and impresses one as modest and upright.
Should she confess she will be liberated at once.

ernInent.

1t has been suggested by a great
many persons that if railroad and cor
poration influences had kept hands of
and not attempted illegitimate and i'm
proper means of influencing the last
legislature, that United States Sena-
tor would have been elected last ses-
sion; that much important and more
careful legislation would have been ac-
complished. A large proportion Of the
people believe that. Ben Holiday at
one time, many years ago, tried to run
the legislature and politics generally,
along with his railroad and steam en-
gines. His schemes proved failure
which is precisely What he ought to
have expected. 1t would therefore
seem like those who succeed in the
management of railroad interests of the
state should take warning, and profit
by his dearly bought experience. While
people favor railroads and corporations
where they are managed within the
scope of business purposes, yet there is
nothing which can become more unpop-
1lar with the people than railroad Or
other corporations which dabble in
politics, and endeavor to influence gov
ermental matters. In fact, political
railroads and political corporations are
very dangerous things to permit in a
government by the people. The legis-
latures, should pass strict laws with Sc
we're penalties, AMI also provide for the
forfeiture of all franchises where rail-
road or other business corporations ap-
proach the Legislatures to interfere with
the action of that body in any way or
where they attempt or do interfere
with the popular elections of the peo-
pie. It was never intended that business
corporations should ever interfere with
the popular government and will of
the people, and the fact that they do,
convinces every rejecting person very
firmly that the day is near at hand
when the people will be overriden bv
these Inscriptions money grahbers, or
else the people will have to arise in the
majesty of just indignation, and SO
throttle all such interfering corpora
tions by placing them under the penal
ties of just laws which will confne
them to the legitimate purposes for
which they were created.

An extra session of the legislature
has been called not only to transact
some important legislation but also for
the purpose of electing United States
senator. Owing to the peculiar situa-
tion of the national affairs and realiz-
ing that Oregon needs some one of
highest ability and with unhinching re-
publican principles to represent her in
the senate of the United States for the
present Senatorial term, ninety nine
out of every one hundred republicans
of Benton county are unanimously in
favor of the election of Geo. H. Will
Jams to that important position. Such
being the case all of our republicans
should impress their sentiments to this
effect upon our representatives who
go to the legislature to represent the
people. Not only should they inter-
view our own representatives on this
subject but they should also impress
their views on republican senators and
representatives from other counties
whenever opportunity is afforded them.
While we have no ak to grind for Mr.
Williams and while he is no more to us
than thousands of other men in this
state, yet the experience and familiarity
which he acquired of national affairs
during his stay i'll the United States
senate at time when the ruling ele-
ments of the democratic party were en-
deavoring to sever this COVE rnment,
and also during the trying time of re-
construction, pre-eminently fits him
to look after and guard the interests of
this country when those same elements
in the democratic party have gained
the ascendency with the reigns of gov
ernment.

During last session of our legislature
a strife was gotten up and aggravated by
the influence of certain Railroad Cor
porations and other parties by antag-
onizing the representation from the
country against Portland, and viceversa,
and while we are not prepared to say
naught but what there were some grounds
which had tendency to bring about
antagonizing influences, yet at this time
it is very improper. Such antagoniz-
nizing efforts kept up or INDUCED in
by republicans, can only result victori-
ously for the interests Of the demo-
cratic party. Democrats in the legis-
lature are particularly interested in
keeping up strife between republi-
cans, realizing that ga house divided
against itself must fall" And certain
railroad and corporation influences con-
sidered it was also to their interest to
keep up a strife among republicans.
Republicans should unite upon some
good man of ability and with unfinch-
ing republican principles no matter
whether he be resident of Portland
or Ashland. Portland is part of Or
egon and so is Corvallis, and an honest
man elected from either place will en-
deavor to represent his state at large
in the senate of the United States as
favorably as his Judgment and ability
will permit him, in order to do Justice
to all parts of bis state.
