On the evening of the lstjinst the railroad track was laid to Myrtle Cieek and the people of that little place had the pleas ure of welcoming a real train of cars to their midst, after many years of anx ious expectation. Quite a number of persons front this place went out on the first train. j . . Accident. On Monday Harry Sei bert met with an accident which for a short time it was thought might prove fatal, In trying to control a spirited horse, which; he was riding, with a curbed bit, he caused the animal to rear and fall backwards Harry struck hvavily, severing an artery at the back of his head. Dr. R. M. Davis was called and with much difficulty suc ceeded in effecting a compress. Why it is Thus. 4-As a matter cf interest to the ladiesjand wool-growers of this county, we quote the following from a New York paper: "The stiffen ing in th". price of medium grade wook is due to the caprice of fashion. Since the ladies have detet mined to wear tiie broad striped worsted goods the coin ing season the manufacturers, to serve their own interest, must manufacture that class of goods. 1 Hence, medium tin grades have gne up and the finer and coarser grades ! have - fallen in value." ' ! New Machinery. --New machinery for the gristmill just south of the city arrived here this week direet from the East, and will be placed and in run ning order within thirty dys. The mill is to contain three runs of burrs, and as all the niacin ncy is new, it will be an excellent cne. A force of hands is now at work on the race which will be ready as soon as the ruifhiucry can be put in place. This is an enterprise which has been delayed from various causes and we are glad to note its final success. It will be of much benefit to the commercial interests' of Roseburg. Quick Relief. Mr. Hermann An lauf, of Draui, had suffered intensely with nervous spasms for two days, at times requiring several men to hold him in bed. The spawns were caused from the root of a broken tooth press ing ujon the nerve. On Monday Dr. M. W. Davis, of this city, was tele graphed for, and hej went to Drain upon a freight train, jlle found the patient suffering intense agony. The doctor removed the broken tooth which at once ' gave, relief, j whereupon Mr. Anlauf wa? the happiest man in Ore gon. Pi. Davisretiirned home on the evening train. . 1 Wilbur Academy.

As there has been considerable inter est nianifested in this locality in the case of J. C. Powers, we give in full the decision of Gov. Thayer regarding the application for clemency; i State of Oregox, Executive Office. Salem, July 28ih, 1882. In the matter of the application for executive clenieucy in favqr of ' J. C. Powers. " I -I At the October term, loSl, of the circuit court for the county of Mult nomah. Powers was tried and con victed of murder in the first degree for the muitier of Bt njamin Cornelius, and sentenced to be hung, i Numerous fe tit ions have been duly" presented to me in his lehaf, containing, in the aggregate, the names of ten tnoiuand petitioners, representing the counties of Multpouiah, Washington, Clatsop, Columbia, Yamhill, Polk, Linn, Uma tilla, and portions of Washington Ter ritory. I hey contain the names of the leading citizens and representative men f the various localities from which thev were forwarded. In many of them the occupation ef each of the gners is sot. out. In some of them a full pardon is urged, out generally a communication of the sentence to im prisonment for life is all that is asked. I have also received' several letters from prominent citizens residing iu lifferent parts of the State soliciting k change of the sentence, and have been advised by many others with whom I have cousulted that it was a proper case tor executive interference. One of the petitions rronved was signed by nearly all the members of the bar-of the fourth judicial district.; I have met a few parties who were . opposed to any pardon or commutation ot the sentence, but I am fullv satisfied that the sentiment of a great majority of the people of the Stater is against the execution of Powers, and that the pe titions and letters referred to as a gen eral thing, express the honest convic tions of the signers. These various petitions are more important from the fact that the circumstances of the ho micide were widely known. The affair occurred at a celebration of the Fourth of July iu PortlanJ, when a large number of persons were present, end was extensively published throughout the country. Consequently the peo ple had a letter knowledge of it than they generally do of such occurrences, and are able to jKjtition more intelli gently.. Though I attach importance to jtetitions in all proper cases, the light of petition is secured to the jmo ple by the I ighfest authority known to the government. It may be and prob ably is often abused, but it, does not follow that petitions are to be ignored, for that would bo destructive of the immunity itself; yet there should always be leasonable grounds upon which to found a petition. A govern or, for instance, world not be justified in changing the sentence of the law pronounced by the court simply be cause the people requested it. A valid reason should be shown for s imtiortiMit an act, else it should lie tefused. In considering the subject of a pardon, the executive has no right, in my judgmen, to review the law or evidence in th caso for the purpose of ascertaining whether or not error has been committed in the conviction of th! party. The court and jury con stitute the tribunal to settle question? of that character, and their action in that matter is a finality, and is unim peachable in this proceed ing. The court and jury determine the law and the facts, and I must assume that their determination in this case has been correct, and that Powers was. in accor dance with the law and evidence rightfully and properly convicted of tuunh r in the first degree, and that, by the laws of this State he has forfeit ed his life. Still I think that the gen eral circumstances which have occa sioned the killing may be taken in consideration iu an application for clemency, though I concede that an at tempt t draw a distinction between eases in which parties have "purpose ly, and of deliberate and premeditated maiace, killed iwople, appears like subtlety, a refinement that possibly should never be admitted where hu man life under such circumstances has been sacrificed. Bat as a matter of fact, there may be a wide difference in. cases, both in the manner of killing and the circumstances and motives oc casioning it. The assassin who lays in wait for his victim and stealthily, mnr. ders him for his money, is a greater culprit, morally, "than he, who, smart ing under the sense of injury to him silf or family, conforts Ihe offender and slays him; yet the law might adjudge both acts offensives ofthesame grade. It is claimed in this case, in the petitions and letters before men tioned, that a family difficulty had arisen between the deceased aud Pow ers; that Powers had married his daughter; that they had children; that there had been a separation, and that Powers had become annoyed and ex asperated on account of it; that the deceased was a powerful man physical ly; that on the day of the murder he had armed himself in expectation of a difficulty; that the two parties met in a street in the city of Portland; that a desperate encouater ensued in which both were actors and in which Powers was severely, and Cornelius mortally wounded, and upon these grounds substantially executive clemency is urged. I understand that Powers is a business man, has been engaged in getting out timber for several years; that he has been regarded as a person possessing a good deal of physical courage; has been somewhat addicted to drink, and has had some personal difficulties, but has not been regarded as a criminal On the contrary, has been considered as a man of reasonably fair character; one who has observed his contracts, paid his debts, and been honest in his dealings. This application for clemency has been made at a time set for its : bearing ana in pursnamce ef a regular v pub lished notice. No counter statement ha3 been presented or opposition made to it other than as before stated, the question now to be dstrmined is whether the State can, consistently with its dignity, and the duty which it owes to its citizens, in maintaining order in tho community, in protecting them in their rights, and in securing them in their person, afford to com mute the sentence of death to that of imprisonment for life. It involves a matter strictly between the commonwealth an i powers. No feelings of maiace or viudictiveuess can enter into it. If the leasar pun ishment will subserve the ends of jus tice, if it is adequate undT the circum stances of the casn, then it would be a great moral wrong to iutiict the great er, it would le closing the door of mercy, a quality of our nature that is more refining and ennobling iu its tendency than any other attribute we possess. It has been suggested with a degree of seriousness that there would be no objection to the commutation ot Powers' sentence if any reasonable as surance could le given that he would lie imprisoned during his natural life, but that the apprehension was so strong that he would at some future timo be released, made it very necessary that he should be put to death. Of course I cannot consider ony arguments f that character I have no right to suppose that he will be relieved of his sentence unless circumstances should justify it. Besides, the question for me to determine is not one of expedi eucv. I am obligel to decide it upon its merits, uniuiluenced by anticipa tionsof a possible neglect of duty upon the part of some future govern or of the State. After a careful con sideration of the various circumstan ces jconnec-te.d with' the transaction, and though a respect for the opinion of the great numler of persons who have urged thn exercise of executive clem ency in this ln-titer. 1 have conclu ded to commute the -sentence against Powers to imprisonment for life. And I base my actions in the prem ires upon the grounds that the sub stituted punishment is sufficiently severe in this case to subserve the ends and purposes of justice. Upon the question of a full pardon I deem it proper to state that I can see no grouds whatever upon which it could be gt anted. No one has a right to attemp. to vindicate his wrongs, whether real or imaginary, oy violent measures. Such a cottr.4 would be subversive of law and ordei und if not promptly chocked would break up and destroy society itself. The jury has settled the question as to which party was the aggressor in the affair, and the degree of the of fense, and while the general circum stances surrounding the transaction, that could not be taken into account by the jury, may, out of a regard for humarwiife, justify a mitigation of the punishment they shunld not be admit ted to excuse the offense. Powers' conduct has been high-handed and malicious, and if the riorof the law- is fixed by the spirit of mercy, still the cliamsof justic musi not be disregarded The sentence, iu uiyjudgment, should not be changed bm ond the coin invita tion mentioned.
