OREGON.

Trip to That Far-off Land tcy an Indianian.

Extracts From a Letter Written to Mr. Wm, Byen by Mr. Vail Morgan.

The following is an extract from a let ter received by one of our citizens, MrWm. Byers, from a friend who is traveling in Oregon:

On my way out here I stopped in Astoria. It is a lively little town. The principal business is lumbering and fishing, I think I am safe in saying that from the time I entered the mouth of the Columbia river until I reached Portland, I saw as many as 500 or 600 fishing boats. Portland is the only city that Oregon lean claim. It has a population of about 16,000 and is quite a thriving place, but noth :ing to compare with Terre Hautc. I have valley on thcwest side as far as it goes, and then cross-

l)een ,up the Willamette iue ed over to the east side and went up to the last town on the O. & C. R. It. and then came back to Portland. can safely sa, that the good farming land is in smal bodies and that there is larger quantity of worthless land than the ola web-footers want to own up to. Thc-creat brag state of the Union for raising wieat is a grand mistake. There has,been much more said for Oregon than there is good ground for. When I have gone out among the farmers here, I have fuiled to find a»e who did not want to sell out, and I have not talked 4 with a single one who is not tired of the rain. Weliave always hoard a great deal about the fine climate Of this country.

.1 A. it.-. A ,1 11 MA A A 4 1«

I have not been sick in ten years until I came out here, and I have iad three chills which I am not rid of yet, .and the sorest throat I ever had. Throat diseases are prevalent here. The sunJvas not shone hree hours at a rtime since I thave been here. It rained so much last wheat harvest that the wheat was struck with rust and a great portion of it lost entirely. I do not believe the flour will make good bread, for I have not seen a good mess of bread since I have been here. Farmers lay in their supplies in September ami October, and then hole up for the winter that is, until the first of April. They-eay it rains almost continually during that time, and the roads are so muddy that they cannot get out at all. Just to tell the truth about this country, it was good when the land was new, but they have to plow in mud and water, and the end of it is the ground is about played out, and they are playing out fast on their wheat crops, and that is the principal crop raised, as they do not raise corn. Wheat, oats and barley are about all they raise. They complain of hard times as much as you ever heard it talked of, and I will tell you something else, they do not know what it is to buy or sell anything under ten cents, no matter what the article is. The people are indolent here. I have beeoi in about five or six counties which they claim as their lx st, and in about thirty-flvo or fortv little towns, and with a few exwptions they do not seem to be doing much. Salem, the capital of the State, is a nice little town, probably as large as Sullivan^n your adjoining county, but no larger. To sum "it all un Oregon is not half what it is cracked up to bc( and the whole matter of it is that it is so fat out here that people pick up ard move without coming to see the country, and most of them are .obliged to stay. It is in the'ahuman fain ilyi if they get worsted in a move like coming here, to want to see some one else bitten as badly as themselves, so they send back word that it is the .gardqp spot of the world and lead otlwis to move here. I could tell you much more if hail,the space. Very respectfully,

VALL J&ioUGAN.

CHARIOT RACES.

A Titifll of Speed at the Fair ft ntun ds Last Night.

Qjae.otftth6 attractions of the Fooxtn of July celebration at the Fair Gkrounds, this city, will be a series of cliariotraces. Two .chariots, each drawn by four thoroughbred horses, abreast, will enter the lists. They are the property of Andrew MacDonald, of Chicago. Last wening the boraes wore given a trial race, witnessed by a number of persons specially invited, among them being a 'bus load taken out by "Tom" Gist, who is a (thorough horseman and enjoys anythiag of this kind hugely. One of the tfeams is all black and {be other white. They are excelleufcly matched in size, color and speed, and are as beautiful and mettlesome animals as, one will see in a year. After a prancing. trot around the track the horses were brought in front of the stand and Mrs. MacDonald took charge of the chariot drawn by the blacks. Mr. MacDonald in the race drives the whites, but on this occasion a stableman held the reins. At the word they wheeled and passed the stand at a furious gait. They are very evenly matched, and as they fairly flew around the track were near together and evidently struggling for a supremacy which only the end could determine. Down the home stretch they came neck and neck, and running at the top of their speed. By a desperate dash at the last moment the blacks forged ahead and came under the string a neck ahead amid applause which was as hearty, though it came from a few,as if there had been thousands present There is an exhiliration and excitement about a race between two teams of four horses hitched abreast and running, which persons who have seen nothing of the kind can not understand It is a wild hurrah which stirs the blood and quickens the pulse of the most phlegmatic. After this one race the party returned to the city well pleased with the exhibition of speed.

On the Fourth of July two races of two dashes each will be run between these teams. The first will be run at two o'clock andthesecond at four oclock. No one should fail to sec them. They have made

*^REDDY7 PRICE.

A Case Involving a New Point Law in the Jurisdiction of Justices.

The facts in the "Reddy" Pricea dultery case are briefly recited, being too filthy for details. About two months ago a little girl, aged sixteen, named Emma Kissner.complained against Wm. Price, known as "Reddy" for bastardy. He promptly compromised the case by marrying Her sisteT, Dora Kissaer, also made the same complaint against Price but he could not mairy both of them and there was "the deuce to pay." Thatdiffl culty might have been smoohted over but for the fact that Price who worked in the Midland Round house lavished his money and caresses on Dora to the exclusion of his lawful wife, the youthful Emma. He furnished a room but Emma was compelled to sleep on the floor while the guilty pair in her presence oeoupied the bed. He rebelled and Price knocked her down. She was arrested and fined and Dora paid the money. Emma then made complaint against the two for living in adultery. On this case Justice fUeinmehl affixed fine and imprisonment. Since June 12th Price has languished in his dungeon cell. In the meantime the difficulty has been adjusted between the sisters ana a habeas corpus suit brought before Judge Long.for release.

The-opinion was given by the Judge this afternoon at 2 o'clock, and as it invokes a new point of law is herewith given:

In the matter of the petition herein fil«l the court finds that the petitioner was, on the 12th day of June, 1880, charged by affidavit before Jacob Steinmehl, Esq., a Justice of the Peace in and for the county of Vigo, with the misdemeanor of adultery with one Dora Kiss ner that on said day he was tried on said charge by the said Justice, who assessed against him a fine of twenty-five dollars, 4ind upon such finding entered a judgment against the petitioner, and, in de-: fault of the payment or stay of said judgment, issued an order committing him to the county jail until such fine and the costs of the proceeding should be paid or replevied.' •The court further finds that the jurisdiction of Justices of the Peace as pre-i scribed by statute is, as far as applicable to this case, as follows: "Justices shall have concurrent jurisdiction with the court of common pleas" (now meaning the criminal circuit court) "to try to determine all cases punisliable byjine only, or by fine with discretion to imprison, and jurisdiction to make examinations in other cases" "{with a view of sending it to a higher court).

The court further finds that the statute that provides for the punishaaent far adultery with which the petitioner was charged bafore said justice is that— "Every person who shall li*e in open and notorious adultery or fornication shall be fined in any sum not exceeding -one thousand dollars, and imprisoned «ot exceeding twelve months."

The court further finds that in trials before justices fines to the extent of twenty five dollars may be assessed, hut they shall have no power to adjudge imprisonment as apart of their sentence cxcept as in this act specially provided."

The court further finds that the least nrmed act is not the misdemeanor act vttiich provides for the punishment for adultery, but an act limiting the jurisdiction of justices of the peace in state prosecutions. .The conclusion to be reached by the forgoing findings is that if the justice of the peace had been invested with jurisdiction, his fine would not have esceeded that prescribed by the statute but the further conclusion must be that the case waaaot within his jurisdiction for the! reason that it is not one punishable by fine only, or by fine with discretion to imprison. There is no discretiomin the subject of adjudgin oromitting imprisonment. It is an absolute: part of the penalty, because the statute .says thfrt the person found guilty shall be lfined and imprisoned.

It is therefore considered by the court that thejudgment of said justice of the peace is-net authorized by law, and that the petitioner be discharged and go hence without.dap" "Beddy"iiow again breathes the air of freedom.

tfi Habeas

The planing mill on Third street, north of Chestnut, the propertyof James Hook, burned this morning. The fire was discovered shortly after 4 o'clock and an alarm was immediately turned in. Efforts were made to get some of the tools and finished work out of the burning building, but they proved ineffectual. By the time the department reached the scene the building was enveloped in flames, and before the fire could be got under control the building was almost totally destroyed. All the finished work and a gOod part of the workmen's tools were burned.

A GAZETTE reporter asked Mr. Hook this morning if he would rebuild the mill. He replied he had not determined what he would do. Before the mill was closed every evening, he said, everything was wet so as to avoid as far as possible any chance of a fire, and it occurring at such an hour he was inclined to think it was the work of an incendiary. The burning of the mill will throw a number of workmen out of employment The loss will be several thousand dollars, and there is no insurance.
