" Cotinty-Attornéy Root, Liaving been applied to -by. the Judiciary Committce of the County Board for advice respecting the lisbility of the county for & claim presented by the city for ex- penses incurred by detectives in attempting to’ arrest one Brown, alias Barron, charged with ‘burglary. at tho request of Judge Williums, bas decided that under the statute it is optional with the County Board to allow the same ; that, inas- ‘much s the County Board had no voice in incur- ring the expenso, in effect they could do 2s they pleased about paying it. Judge William, sitting 28 Judge of the Criminal Court, had recom- mended that the effort be made to arrest the man ; hence the expenditure. Ho elsoreported in tho following case: L.' B. Dixon, architect, claimed that he had o contract with the old Board of Supervisors, by which he was to have chargp of the erection of the hospi- tal for the insane at Jefferson. - Learning that _the County Lioard contemplated additg & wing andan attic story to the same, 0 28 to sccure increased eccommodations, hé insisted that- un- ‘der that contract hehad s right to superintend the additions, and receive 4 per cent of the cost thereof ashis compensation. The County Attar- ney was of the opinion that the contract only opvored the original construction, aud was not & continning contract for all time to com, for sny .improvements, repairs, or ilterations that might be made by subsequent Boards 3 in other words, hehadn’t got & “ life thing of it.” % £ TEUMPERY QUARREL. John R. Coffey and Cornelius J. Coffey filo o bill of complaint, in the Saperior Court, against William ‘Mackey Lomasney and Philip Cullen, Complaints aver that on the 25th of July, 1873, Joln R. Coffey and Philip Cullen purchased from. ‘William F. and Michgel J. Dee 450 shares of the capital stock of the “Western Catholic Publish- ing Company,” p:&ying therefor 3400 in cash and & niote signed by John K. Coffey and the two do- fendants; that, by the understanding between Coffey and Callen, they were to b the owners of. the stock, and Lomasney bud no interest what-" _ever in the purchase; that the Dees required TLomansey's’ tame on the, note, and the instrument of transfer was drawn out in favorof ! Coffey, Cullen, and Lomasney, but that althongh the 1ast name was inserted, it was alwoys under- stood that Coffey and Cullen alone were the nctual parties to the transfer; that the instrament has yemanined sud i8 now in possession of Cullen, - who, with Coffey, paid !l the purcbase money, Lomasney paying pothiug. he agreeing that he held the title to the stock only for the benefit and subject to the control of -the other parties; that subseguently Joln Ri. Coffey sold to Cor- elius Cofley, without any objection on the part of Lomssnay, 230 shares of said stock; that gince . tho . transfer . lsst ' mentioned Xo- masney has denied ihe -Coffeys the exercise of their rights as before expressed, 2nd hos attempted to. use complainants’ interart in £aid etock to hisown advantaga; that within eight wecks past Lomasney offered fo turn the whole thingover to Jobm R.

Johnson v, The Chicago West Division Railway Company was teken up. Plaintifl gave evidonce that on the 24th Octobor last, through tho care- lesaness of one of the Company's car-drivers, & collision occurred botweon an esstward going car and complainant’s buggy, by which the buggy was smashed, his horse thrown down and injured, and himself dashed Lo tho ground, sus- taining damages_which resultedin a lengthy eickness ; in consideration of which compiail ant seeks to recovor 5,000 damages. Tho evi- dence on the part of the dofendant, however, went {0 show that plaintiff was trying to cut in betweon two cars, and suffered on account of his own carelesenoss and temority, and the jury Jeaned so decidedly in favor of this view of tho case that they gave n verdict for defendant. A fire insuranco case of considerabla intercst was tried in Judge Rogers’ court, yesterday, in which John W. G, Nolef, of the viflago of Austin, sought to recover £1,200 from the Williamsburg City Fire Tnsuranco Company. Complainant in- sured his house with the defendant on the 25th January, 1872, for $1,200, for which he agreed to py, and tendered in ‘payment 918, which the agent of the Company declined to Tecelve until 16 conld givo complainant his policy. This tho sgent never did. Onthe 24 of February the house burned dawn, and complainant sought to recover from the Company, and not succeeding, Drought the present action. Aftor the hearing of considerable evidence on both sides Mr. Caul- field, counsel for the defense, urged that the “plaintif had failed to sbow that tho party with whom Nolef negotiated tho insur.nce was the authorized ggent of the Company, sl ~so fail- ed to prove for what length of timo ‘the house was insuréd. Tho Court decided that pluntif® could not recover ab prosent. stato of pleadings and testimony, upon which plaintiff took a non suit. = In Judgs Booth's court, the czso of Dora ‘Enapp v. Tho Union Steamboat Company, which has been occupying tho Conrts attention for the past two days, came toan ond yestordsy.

" Correction of Misstatements. PonTLAND, Ore.; April 23, 1673, James Johnson, Esg.: . - Desn Bru: I have, to-day,road & letter ad-. dressed to you, and siguod by W. L. Adams, of thus State, who, by reason of & rosidonco lLero .of twonty-five years, claima the ability to answer certain questios you, with many others, have ssked, relative to Lhe resorirces, advantages, otc., of this Btato. Whether the namo James Johneon is fictitious or not, I do not know ; but tho roply to James Jokneon by Mr. W. L. Adams, now published in pamphlet-form, and sold by him to real-ostate agents and others at $6.50 por 100 copies, for distribution through tho East, is, by ‘its high coloring, its specious pretonsiona’ to frankness, truthfuloess, snd disinterestedness, and its labored efforts at facetiousness, well calculated to, and will, convey a - VERY EXAGOERATED IMPRESSION of the advantages of this State, and causo East- ern people to make sacrifices of property and in- terests to emigrate to this El Dorado, so favored by partial Providence above all other sections. ‘Why Providenco should have been 80 particu- lar with Oregon I8 o question for scicntists, That this State is favored in many natural ele- ments of prosperity, I donot deny; but that it will profitably (to them) sustain & much larger population than is already settled hore at the prosont day, I do E EMPHATICALLY DENY, - and will cndeavor to concisely - give reagons for this denial, and for my advico to people in good circumstances, aud who are doing fairly in lifo, to stay contentedly at home. - I write this because I bave already witnessed ‘much dissatisfaction, and suffering, and losses by immigrants who have too readily anawered the beckoning words of this and like pamphlets, and come to find the romance of the changeall vanished,—to find our beautiful valleys covered to o great extent with denso forosts, broken by vast ranges of Lills, uninviting and rugged; broad tracts of ewamp land, irrecliimable except by the expendituro of. Jarge ums of monoy ; fern, and brake, and eorrel, matted upon ovory acre of our lands that has mnot been cultivated. ‘These aro inviting enough to the enthusiastic tourist, or picture- loving poet,-as ho views the scene from somo high eminenco, whero the eya gathers iu all the combinations of Nature's diversities; but tho reality of labor—hard labor—oxiats here as well as elsewhero. o i B Mr. Adama épeciouely claims every delight and advantagoe for this Stato that can be culled from the best of overy Stato in the Union, but admits that wo fall chort of Heaven. I think many that have come, many that will come, will wish they had reachod Hesven first, Mr. Adams gsys he will speak fairly of tho good and the bad featurce of the country, but he fails to particulariza what will be to the disad- vantage of the immigrant in the enme ratio and a8 enthusiastically a8 ho does the. good. Is that impartial ? Let us see. What he says about OUR WINTER CLIMATE is very nearly true. Compared’ with Maine, it is mild, very mild. Thero thoy, have snow and in- tenso cold. Hero wo have _incessant, copious’ rains, lasting from about the 1t of - November to tho 1Ist of May, with n interval of enow, ice and freezing werther about Christmas, continuing from two to six weoks, Many cre -compelled to work moro or less, through the winter in the open air, but they watch opportunities and hurry their jobs | between drops. Full timo of consecutive lalor i out of tho question. The wintor, for ut lenst thiroe months, to out-door laborers, is lost. Some winters, like tho ono just passed, aro almost without enow. Only about eix inches fell this winter, romainigg but & fow days. Hencs, this is said to bo ono of tho = DEST CATTLE COUNTRIES in the world; andjhenco Iazy “ Webfeot” (a term applied to the dwellers in’ tho land) think it just_as well tolot cattlo shift for themaclves, and allow winter to overtake them unprepared with shelter or food, relying upor tho chances of o * good winter" for their fafety ; which shift- less policyresults, year afler year, in a terriblo destruction of cattle. Every sensiblo man knows that in & climato that is not entirely free from frostsand snow, . cattlo need caro, and must not bo brought to tho chance necessity, even, of broweing or digging through snovw for suatcuanco. Mr. Adams says' thatit fakes himeelf and neighbors €o- much timo to bwld fences and plow, that théy have no timeto care’ for their cattle. " Tuenty-five years the owner of & farm of 160 acres, and thio fencea not yet built! Plowing and fencing absorb so_much time cattle cannot bo cared for! ~Cattle die in couge- quencol A better showing than that can bo made oven in the Btate of Maino, . Mr. Adams tells you there are “ nognats, mos- quitoes, bedbugs, floas, enakes, etc.” If this kind of vermin was wealth, valued at a perny s pound, let me assure you, my dear ir, every man in Oregon counld be WORTH NIS MILLIONS. : I vgfiy much wonder that they have not been noticed by Mr. Adams. < We bave excellent goil, as Mr. Adams eays; and, as he says, wo can raise sixty butkels of wheat o the acro. Socan you, The same can be 4.‘lune anywhere in the “country, in garden- spots. 2 - THE AVERAGE TIELD OF WHEAT ' to the acre in Oregon is 2bout thirty bushels in- stead of forty bushels, as Mr. Adams writes. Wheat can be raised here, probably, to greater peifection than in the most favored portions of our country. . -When that is erid, the status of Orogon is told. 3 Sixty bushels of corn can bo raised-exception- ally; fifty bushels can be raiced exceptionally ; thirty bushels can be raised 23 an average, and that is a liberal ostimate. 2 . POTATOES may bo prolific, too much 66. Of that you can judge when I say that, to-day, April 22, potatoes #old in this market at 8 cents they of the best. Mr. Adams tells you he has raised forty bushels of to the acro, end claims that, the satio cannok bo done in 1ilinois., He fails, however, to inform 7o, in paroatheis or otliorwise, that thero is not rought: to market from tho wholo Willamette Yalley 100 bushols of_corn a year, -and why ? Becruse it cannob be cultivated ‘succeesfully, owing Lo our boastod cold nights. Corn-mesl in market is higher ‘thaa wheat Sour, being worth from 6 to 10 conts 2 pound. Tho gtain of which it is made is_imported from Californin. _This is whywe cannot fatton hoga on corn. St. Louis and Chicugo bacon, bame, and lord have been eold in’, Portland_ market, tho past year, cheaper and more readily than our own manutacture. Bpeaking of T SUMMER CLH(.\'A'ZI . « Now mark,” says Mr. Adams. ¥ Daring our. Tottest summer I have nover failed to keep frosh beof.pieot a week, when hung in the open air!” What rare sights that man has seen ! 1 venturo 10 683, no other man in Oregon has knovn beef, under’ like clrcumstances, to be exposed forty- cight hours without undergoing s process of in- cubation thatmade it rather objectionsble for table-use, except to old settlers, and those that Tet their cattle die for want of cero. per bushol, and Where Mr. Adams cites extrome cases of vege-' table-development, and prolific yicld of cereals, ;you can find perallel cases reported from any portion of - the country you may turn your eyes to, Tight from under your own enow-banks, if you will. ‘Try it and see. Mr. Adams goes into ecstasies over i THE HEALTHY CONDITION of this State, which is correct. Let him convulse. Tortland, with a population of 10,000 people, has tut twenty physicians. That’s all the statistics I bave in that matter. § Figh, game, &c., cannot be had without paging good round prices, as in other sections, or £oing into the forests and streams for them youreelf. Nuts are very scarce. are plonty in their season. Tropical fruits do nol grow here, whatever may be erid to the con-. trary ; none but the. samo classes of fruits that §§nw in the same latitudes east of the Rocky ountains. _ o > Wild cherries aré nowhere in the State 86 plen- tiful and 8o delicate of flavor as in the. colder countries esst. -To & blind man, strawberries, Blackberries, raspberries, huckleberries, goose- -berries, cranberries, are all one, and limes would ‘make good sweetening for any. . .

CASE. — New Yore, May 3, 1673, To the Editor of TRg Chicago Tribune : Bir: Your influential journal has been the most consistent, the most uncompromiging, aud eevercst commenter on the celebrated Phelps- -Dodgo case. Now that explanations in this af- fair have been made, and some timo has olapsed far public opinion to give a verdict, you must sce that that verdict plainly points to the innocence, in s moral point of viow, of the firm of Phelps, Dodgo & Co. And your journal is too well known for tho” Anglo-Saxon virtue of fair play for me to doubt that TrE Cricaco Tr1BTNE will any longer withhold & .just verdict, which I am quite Bure was anly suspended because the fall facts 6f the case were unknowntoyon. < | - s it is no sccret to you that I am singalarly well-situated to be able to give you, in & very sbort space, the {nll merits of this - canse celo- bro, I will merely point out, firet, the significant fact that the most powerful mercantile body in the land—the New York Chamber of Commerce— prononnced tho unqualified innocence of tho great house in question, by ro-electing Mr. Will- iamE, Dodgo President of the Chamber, gn thelst inst., withont a disacntient voice, and by enthugi- ustically ‘assuring their President that they aro convinced of the integrity of. his firm ; thereby throwing down the strongest protest againat tho official procoodings to which the honse was eub- ‘jected. And now lot e, ina few words, give you the actual esdence of this case: Phelps, Dodge & Co. have. undoubtedly not only onco, but a number of times, been guilty of violating both the spirit and the letter of the law regulating importations. - They have been in the babit of receiving certain memorandums, re- ferring to a small portion of their genuine in- voicos, which did not, in all respects, agreo with the invoices pagsed through the Custom-House ; .and, as notbing will show this plainer than su actual example, I give you a pro-forms fac- eimile of these unlucky mémorandums : . i PRO-FORMA INVOIOE. . i Liverroor, June 1, 1971, Messzs, Phelps, Dodge & Co., - . 7 ‘To Fhélps, James & Co,, Dr, Per City of Paris s ' g 2,760 boxes 1, C. plates, 28 40 bozes XXX, 408, 20 boxes Faintemeste 125 boxes L.

It wob:and is odmitted that both the cost and - market-value of the 2,700 boxes -ere . correct ; - but-it, was muntaine inasmuch as there was point-blank evidence thaf the 125 boxes did cost 6d. per. box more, although fho market-valuo st tho tima . of . shipment was correct, the firm did ziolate tho law by invoicing these 125 boxes at their true cost, viz. :. 28s. 6d., yshich is imperativoly demanded by the law. And thero was another- charge made -against the houso, for concealing invoices, which it \was their duty to furnish to the Custom-House, as these memorandums were naturally. construéd to be invoices. 5 i Now, having stated the full guilt'of this firm, allow me to say, in extenuations, thiat— First—The ‘English houss must have been truly ignorant of this technical rigor of the lay; and they folly imagined that, inasmuch as duties are actually levied on market-value, and not the cost of the goods, tho full, fair way was to give nmarket-values and’ bo-on the right _side, which, ‘however, was for them tho wrong side. ; - " Second—As to concealment of invoices: No sane morchant would look upon such a ‘memo- randum as an invoice, and, far from .concealing them in their iron safe or any secret place, they were invariably pinned .on the invoices and in the invoice-book, whera they were moat easily stolen by the halt-breed informer who had been, in their employ. ot But there is another point: You may perhaps doubt the correctueus of the figures I give you ; ot euch s truly and really the fact. The un- der-valuation in £4,000 was, as I state it, £4 12e: 6d. In » total of invoices amounting to over £1,200,000, the alleged under-valuations were & little over 0,000, and the supposed loss to the Treasary, as stated by Mr. Bliss himself, abont 81,600, . : et this great Srm technically violated the law, which might and could easily’have been Dbroght home to them, as_I fully state it.. But to charge them with wilfull intent to cheat and defraud the revenue of $1,600 during five years, is surely not only an insult to one's senss of honor, but to one’s common_sense. And, ag such, I have no, doubt you will in fature look; at if. & " But the difficnlt Shing to- explaia is, after dll Why did "this" house, knowing’ their own inno- cence, gorge’ the hungry ‘blood-hbunds of in- formers, agents, etc., etc., With their money? Why did they settle ? > - Now, atrange to say, ‘the house itself has not even now learned enough practical wisdom to ul}[thz !uflTlileuon: - Firstly—They were frightened—literally fright- ened—i tho balief thet thoy bad sctusily been i i v 'no.moro be a crithe "than & man, tumbling scci--| the event of angther fight they would return 0 | the Cabinet on the oceasion of the dentally from the togl of o house and killing some pedestrian, can be charged with murder.

S i -. _ Fourtily—The -micmbers, one and’ all, being Certain that they had not. benefited by or, wilfal- Iy done wrong'by ‘breaking the law, wore, nev-" ertholess, anxions to atone for what thoy had done unintentionally; and I very much question whether, when thoy mado the first carte-blanche offer to settle, they had any idea that the amount claimed from them would be as mach as $10,000. And, when the scandal was deaigflu’f}f seat broadeast over tho land, this firm, with all their Eowet and wenlth, wero as demoralized as the 'ronch army before Beden. p Buffice it fo say, had this spectacular play to bo acted over again, there would have boen a great deal of cry, but little wool to bo divided by friend, foe, protended friends, blackmailors, and other interesting bodies.
