The recent denouement by which it
was ascertained that the militia depart
ment, under Adiutant General Ross G..
O'Brien, had entangled the state into a
debt OF 500, 900 or more, through extrav-
agance and incapacity, has been rather a
damper on the militia as we'll as the tax
payers, and in the senate il resulted in
the passage of the Coon military bill so
amended as to annul the commission OF
every officer from adjutant general down
to and including the second lieutenants.
1t was roundabout way to get at the
scalp Of General 0'Brien and will prob
ably result in most Of the old officers be-
ing reappointed by the governor, upon
whom the duty devolves. AS passed the
bill gives to the national guard fourteen
companies of infantry and two troops Of
cavalry. This is cutting off half of the
cavalry, and il the pairing down should
be regulated according to the time OF
mastering into service, Troop G of Yak
ina and Troop D of Spokane would be
wiped ont of existence. 1t is believed,
hove that the governor will retain
those organizations which have the best
record at headquarters. which would
leave intact the Yakima and Tacoma
troops. Troop B of Sprague, smells to
heaven, owing to its characterization dur
ing the strike OF last summer, and Troop
ID is not entirely without the same faint
Besides this, Downing, the captain of
Troop G, was arrested some months ago
for embezzlement from Spokane county,
and since that time the troop has been
without head, has become very much
disorganized and failed to turn out on
Washington's birthday as required by
the regulations. With these points
against troops B and d local cavalrymen
are In hopes that Troop G will escape dis
bandment. Lieutenant F. d. Hiscock
says that even if Troop c is selected by
the governor, and he is reappointed, he
will not accept, as he has been DESTROYS
OF retiring for some time, owing to the
cavalrymen not turning out To weekly
drills in sufficient force to make the
movements of interest and profit, and
he finds in this an opportunity where he
can do so gracefully-and grace is one of
his predominating characteristics.

As historical relic, it may not be in
appropriate in these times, to recall what
was at one time the law, in this Territory
and Oregon, relating to the satisfaction OF
debts. This law was enacted Decen Der
18th 1845, and was In force for some
years. The act is as follows.
BE it enacted, etc., that in addition
to gold and silver, treasury drafts, APP
proved orders on solvent merchants, and
good merchantable wheat at the market
price, delivered at such places as it is Gus
tomary for merchants to receive wheat at,
shall be lawful tender for the payment OF
taxes and judgments rendered in the
courts OF Oregon territory, and for the
payment of all debts contracted in Ore
gon territory where no special contracts
have been made to the contrary.
