Col. Clay's Report on the Management
of the Jail.
Warden Leonard is exonerated from the
charges made against him by the English
man Davey and others, in the report of the
jail investigation made by Col. Cecil Clay,
chief clerk of the Department of Justice.
The report was handed 10 Attorney Cen
eral Olney yesterday, and was at once made
public Col. Clay says he examined pri-
vately every prisoner, employe, and jail
official without discovering any abuses
He sees no direction in which a reduction
of expenses may be made.
The night force OF employees might be
reduced by one man, but changes that
would be necessary render this inadyisable.
The only change in salaries recommended
is that the cook, who is paid little, be al
lowed TO eat at the ial.
The duties of prisoners are reasonable,
the management economical, and the dis
cipline excellent
Occasional lots of herring at breakfast
have been of poor quality, and the disuse
of herring is recommended. Provision
boxes with rounded corners are suggested
to replace those with square corners now
in use, which are hard to clean
Davey was given an opportunity to be
heard, but failed 10 appear.

room, without any care, and it became nee
essary to take him Away. AS no ambulance

IT is not given 10 every one to preserve
their wits intact on all occasions, how
ever accustomed that person may be TO
entertaining This is especially the case
when, as sometimes happens, the company
is very late III arriving and the host or
hostess has whiled away the time by
making frequent visits 10 the dining-Toom
buffet. This, at least, is the case in re-
gard 10 the Washington hostess.
The occasion was when she esSayed
during a visit of the Harvard boys to give
a large reception in their honor. The
guests of honor did not put in an appear
ance until a late hour, as a concert was
on the programme for the earlier portion
or the evening. The hostess was of
eonyiyial nature. and. finding time hang
heavy on her hands, sought 10 enliven
the tedium OF the wait by frequent trips
back and forth between the drawing
rooms and the supper ia ble Until her
ideas had become decidedly mixed.
When tie students finally arrived and
presS& tations TO the other guests were in
order the faculties OF the hostess could
concentrate themselves but upon the one
idea of the college represented by the
guests of honor. 1t was therefore III &C

PRELIMINARY CONFERENCE.
The first of the conferences preliminary
to the assembling of the convention was
beld yesterday afternoon in the red parlor
of the Ebbitt House. 1t was called by Dr.
j. b. Cambria, president of the Mercer
University of Georgia, and was for the
purpose OF an interchange of opinion on line
question of taking the Young Peoples
Societies of the church into the International
Union. On this question some OF the big
gunsof the church were heard. Ex-Goyern-
orNorthen, ofGeorgia, presided.
Among the speakers were Rev DR..
Gambriu, Rev. DR.. j. B. Hawthorne. OF
Atlanta, Ga, Rev j b. Cranfil, editor ofthe
Texas Baptist Standard, Editor EdmundS,
of the Baltimore Manufacturers Record,
Rev. DR.. Pitt, of the Religious Herald, OF
Richmond, and Rev. DR.. a. J. Thomas, OF
South Carolina.
EFFECT OF THE PROPOSE UNION.
The broad question Involved was whether
the proposed union did not interfere with
the autonomy of the church aud societies.
Dr. Hawthorne made a strong argument
on tine line of upholding the Independence
of the action of each church aud on The point
/ that whether an association of churches or
| organizations be formed, such action
/ should originate with the churches aud Lot
| from any body not composed OF accredited
delegates from such institutions. This
/ argument was Intended to show that no
action taken by the coming conference
| could bind any of the young peoples So
| cieties.
! Mr. Edmunds and Dr. Gambriil took the
ground that all things pointed to the ne
ceSsity OF consolidation aud union of AIneri-
can ideas in church aud ethics DR..
Cranfil also spoke and said inconclusiOn that
| The would accept the conclusions of the con-
yention.
Nothing done at this conference was in
tended either as dictation OF suggestion &c
the coming conference, but it indicated the
drift of argument on one of the questions
which agitate the great body during its
stay here.

POLITICAL DRIFT.

The Moro Observer, one of the ablest
edited of any of our Republican ex-
changes. says:
'.A lot of tomfoolery comes from
what may be considered wise heads,
sometimes. A bit of such stuff is that
Hermann. if not renominated, will
bolt. Hermann will be returned and
so will Ellis, and 30 will Mitchell.
Bolting talk, and all such nonsense,
spring from the sources of mems minds
where the wish is father to the
thought 1t is detrimental to sound
Republican principles and ought to be
stamped out. Absurd trifles such as
this measurably contributed to defeat
Mr.. Dolph last winter. Pernicious
newspaper talk, as if by one author
lied with whip in hand to say what he
pleases should be condemned.
Bro. Ireland is usually very level
headed in political as we'll as other
matters, and therefore we are surprised
that he should assume the certainty
that Hermann and Ellis will be re-
turned to the lower house of congress,
and that Mr.. Mitchell will succeed
himself when his senatorial term ex-
pires. When the vote was cast last
June every citizen of Oregon, Repub-
lican, Democratic and Populist, con-
sidered it a foregone conclusion that
Mr.. Dolph. who was constantly before
the people as candidate for another
six years as senator, would be elected
by the legislature on the first ballot;
but he was defeated by a turbulent, OBJ
stinate minority, and the reason for
the opposition is we'll known. Her
name was before the legisla-
lure by the minority for Dolph's posi-
tion. Ellis henchmen engineered the
course of the opposition and Mitchell's
friends were apathetic in the fight.
The majority of the Republican party |
in Oregon were favorable to Dolph's /
reelection, and so were Il large plural
ity of the members of the legislature;
bnt he was defeated by treachery of
pretended friends, the trickery of |
politicians. and the traps |
laid by opponent. into which the un-
wary fell. These facts are known, and
will long be remembered. The next
convention of Republicans
may develop strange things within the |
party Inns in OREGON. Old scores will |
be- examined and adjusted, and one
,an make no calculations regarding
the result. One thing is certain. the
of Oregon do not elect
men to the senate or to the lower
house of congress for their natural
ives or during good behavior as
Judges of the supreme court are ap-
pointed. A change is desired some
lines, and frequently this is beneficial
o all concerned.
