BLACKS BILL.
I. Z. PRIA,
Chairman.
L. B. Cox,
Secretary.

Mr.. Blacks bill providing that when
. contract for the payment of money is
entered into between individuals, they
may agree as to which shal! pay the
taxes which may be levied upon the
mortgage, note or other evidence Of
Indebtedness, was amended in the sem
ate 50 as to apply only to contracts
when the rate of interest is per cent
or less. The house concurred in the
amendments and we suppose the gov
srnor will approve tho bill. The effect
viii be that when mortgage is execut-
81 drawing 8 per cent interest, the
lenier will get 6. per cent clear, while
the borrower will be required to pay in
addition to the 8 per cent interest all
the taxes which may be levied upon the
mortgage under the mortgage tax law,
bat if the rate of interest Of the mort
gage is more than 8 per cent, no such
c,ntract for the payment of taxes can
b. made. The law applies to notes al
we'll as mortgages.

THINK on THIS.

Tue late legislature at Salem wa:
republican by majority OF fourteen
on joint ballot. Each branch WIS re-
publican. The governor, the serre.
tary, the treasurer, the supern ,endent
of public instruction, aud all employees
about the capitol ara republicans.
The capitol building is, in a sense, re-
publican. Now, in view OF tho fact
That it has long been a continual
boast of republicans that all the NOR
ality, all the decency, all the temper
ance, all the model personal and polit-
ical conduct of the day, are to be
found in that party, while all the
immortality, all Indecency, all iD:emp-
erance and drunkenness, all vicious
conduct are to be found in the demo-
cratic party, can any one hardly be-
lieve that under these circumstances
that the capitol was turned into
regular drinking and feasting resort
during the last twenty-four hours of
the senatorial contest? And yet such
was the case. Several committee
rooms were filed to ovefilowing with
wine, champagne, and other drinka-
bles and eatables, and here moral re-
publican leaders resorted with their
friends, and drinking and feasting
were the order of the day. Here,
well-known republican ladies OF high
social standing were seen slipping the
wine cup with hilarious glee. Stag.
gering about in drunken condition
was seen republican leader, we'll
known in this city and elsewhere,
who was, and is now. so far as we
know, prominent churchman. Now,
suppose all these things hsd been differ
ent. Suppose the Legislature and state
officials had been republican, and
some democratic candidate for senator
had filed the committee rooms with
wine and champagne, and leading
democrats with prominent democratic
ladies had been seen tipping the fow-
ing bowl, what shock it would have
been to the republican party. How
republican leaders and republican
newspapers would have deplored the
low state of morals of the democratic
party. But here a great republican
leader, mot Hirsch,) who was can
didate for the senatorship supplies
the committee rooms with $500 worth
of eatablef, wines, champagne and
other beverages, and not comment
is heard from any republican paper.
Kind reader, what do you think of
it?

THE LEGEsLATURE.

This body which convened in Salem
on the 18th day of January and con-
tinued in session for q period of forty
days, adjourning at Il o'clock Friday
night, February goth, will go down in
history under the maledictions of more
enraged and disappointed people than
have thundered forth their discomfort
at any time 10 the history of the State.
The maledictions of the capitalists and
monopolists will be heaped apon their
friends in the legislature for failing to
secure such legislation as had been
promised before the legislature met.
OF course these maiedictions will be
heaped uron the heads of those who
thwartsd all attempts to repeal the
usury law and the mortgage tax law.
But the loudest curses and maledictions
are those heaped upon the Republican
members of that body by the whole
Republican party of the State for fail
ing to elect United States Senator.
The Republicans had a majority of
fourteen on joint ballot, majority
sufficiently large for any party that
had the interest of the State at heart,
TO have elected q Senator without in
terfering at all with legislative business.
But instead of thus disposing of the
senatorial question and giving the more
heed to the weightier matters of legis-
lation in which tho great body of the
people have and feel greater interest,
the senatorial question was allowed to
rest as an immovable incubus upon the
legislative body to the last expiring
hours of tae session, thus impeding good
legislation aud often proving a support
to bad legislation 10 that members were
known to promise support to bad legis'
lation in order to get votes for their
favcrite senatorial candidates. Men,
bers were even heard to boast that
they were glad tha. the senatorial
question had heen delayed, as it ena-
bled them to secure legislation that
could not have been had, if that ques-
ton had been removed from the prov
ince of speculation ard traffic ia votes.
All this state of Things was brought
about by the wranglings of the warning
factions in the Republican party. The
war between them was more bitter and
unreasonable than all the battles be
tween the great parties, and this fac
tional conteation was kept up to the
last minute and ended in one of the
most dlsgraceful fArces ever witnessed
In any state. Both houses had passed
= joint resolution that they would ad-
journ sins de IL o'clock midnight Fri
day. Balloting f1r Senator had begun
early In the session, and one or more
ballots were taken each legislative day |
until Friday last when the joint con-
vention of The two houses met at l2 |
o'clock N. to begin the balloting for
Senator. They balIoted until | / o'clock |
when the joint convention adjourned
without an election. What happened
iurther on will be seen in an article
entitled "Rump," in this issue.

The OregoniGn said last Saturday
. hat the "rump' legislature which met
last Saturday would either elect SEN

refused to attend or they would dispatch
the sergeant-at-arms after the democrats

they met they did not have quorum,
and hence could not elect, and they
were afraid to attempt the doubtful ex
