PORTLAND, Dec. 27.-The Oregopian

ii. Thornton, of the State University law
school, to Governor Pennoyer. Prof
Thornton says:
The extraordinary circumstance of
your Christmas letter to the president OF
the United States must be my excuse
for writing to you. You therein state
that more than two-thirds OF the people
in Oregon are without employment, and
more than one third are without suffi-
Gent means of support. Consider for a
moment what this means. At least 24O, :
600 people. according to your letter, have
no employment, and at least 100, 900
again have no sufficient means OF sup
port. In so writing you have stamped
yourself as a disseminator OF inaccuracy
and libeler of the commonwealth which
has made you its chief magistrate. Your
only safety lies in retracting your asser-
ton. You also are father and you
doubtless feel grateful to the Supreme
Being for this. Allow me to suggest that
you enlarge the scope Of your vision and
see what a bad example you are setting
your offspring.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 2S.-The 4 American
schooner Grace Andrews, commanded by
Capt. Andrews, has arrived from Brazil.
Capt. Andrews tells a story Of outrageous
treatment by Peixoto in Rio harbor. He
had started from his ship to the harbor
in small boat and when within hailipg
distance of the shore hosted an America n
flag but soldiers on shore shouted: Il
you don't stop We'll shoot you, " and fired
several shots. The captain put his boat
on shore and was arrested, together with
three sailors, and placed in prison. They
we're taken to Rio aud The chief of police
put them in Jail without any food He
managed to communicate with the Amt y
lean consul and obtained release. The
captain complained about soldiers having
hauled down the American flag on his
small boat, but the consul paid no atten
ton to it. He claims the facts of the sit.
uation at Rio are suppressed by officials
and that the American press has incor-
rect news.
