TOLD IN A I'UHI.IC DOCUMENT. A Thillllng Indian Slorv of Hie Early Days ■hi tin, I'ai ifli! Coast. Washington Star. Hidden away in t lie numerous com mittee rooms in the great Capitol build ing are tuns of documents of all descrip tions reori settling the hopes and fears uf thousands of claimants for even-bauded justice or putilic bounty. One of the most intere-titig ot these petitions has just been reported from the House Committee on Pensions with urecommendation that the bill covering tbe ease become a law. The stoty as told by Representative DeLatio in the repoit is a most thrilling one. Christina Guiscl, now Christina Edson, emigrated in the early years Iroui lite At lantic States to the shores of the Paeitic, and, with her husband, John G. isel, and their lit tie family settled upon the shores of the Paeitic ocean, near the mouth of the Rogue river, in Oregon. The house was upon the then traveled trail leaning from Die coast of California imo Oregon. They were comfortably iixed wiieu they settled there at that time. Joliu Gei.-ei mined be tine gold dust on the ocean beach, and this, together with Ins stock upon the prairies and what was received by his family trout the passing travellers for lodgings-, constituted their means of livelihood. A fiieudly Indian WHS em ployed about tbe premises in occasional set vices. The village of Ihe Indian tribe ot tits •' Too loot-tias " was eight miles distant up the Rogue river. Very lilifc apprehension existed among the sellleis as to any hostile intent on the part of the Indians. Ben Wright, I lie Indian agent in tlie vicinity and known in the Pacific Slates as a daring Indian lighter, gave positive assurance ttint no danger - xistcl. On the night of February 21. 18>ti, the settlers for some miles aroutnl attended a ball at Koine river, iu observance of Washington's birthday. The Indians, expecting to find the cotin ry c anpti i lively defeuceless, owing to the assem blage ut l tin ball, concluded upon a gen eral massacre of the whites wno remained at home. Owing to the illness of one of the children, nottu of the Geisel family attended Hie hull. • About mid night Mr. Geisel was awak- | ened by a rap upon the door and by lierr- ■ irig heir Indian servant saying that lie ucsirt d to obtain something to eat. Upon tld Hie door was oper.ed and i ill media! ■ - ! Iv several stalwart Indians rushed in and commenced 'heir attack, witli long tlra-wn knives ami tomahawks, upon Mr. Geisel. Mrs. Geisel left Her three weeks' old in fant in bed. and, though qu le feeble, rushed to her husband's rescue. In the co lict she rect i ed a severe wound 11. r husband was soon overcome, and fell dead in her pri sence. She was securely bound mid, with her infant and a seven year old daughter, was forced wilbout. There sliu witnessed her three boys taken fre ill their litlle beds in an adjoining room, anil, while pileoualy begging tor dfe, they were, one bv oue, slaughtered in l>er pre-etice. After rilling the house of all such arti cles as they desired they applied the t well to it and compelled their captives to witness its destruction, with the limn ing of Hie bodies of the slain. Mrs. Geisel, barefooted and clad in her tiiin gown,and with her two children, was then marched to the camp of the Too-toot-nas, and while en route witnessed the ouming of many houses and the massacre or her neighbors. Great indignities were inflat ed upon the captives by the Indians in Hie village of the hostiles. They were kept prisoners under strict watch fer two weeks, when they were exchanged or ran somed by the white people who were forled at the month of the Rogue river. During her captivity Mrs. Geisel took careful notes and sketches of wnatslie ob served. Sue discovered that several alli ed tribes were constructing very strong fori ideal ions from which they proposed making raids upon all the surrounding country iu California and Oregon and tnus complete the destruction already be gun. Mrs. Geisel discovered a concealed approach through Die mountain gorges Into this fori ideation and village by which if it could be as-ailed in tbat direction bv sufficient force, defence would be without avail. She also learned from conversa tion among the Indians in their own lan guage, which she interpreted, that great preparations were in progress for a raid on the people of the town of Port Orfoid, thirty miles distant, where they expressed great confidence of exterminating the men and childred and making captives ol the woman. The time was fixed for their departure and surprise. This information she disclosed to the settlors in the fort , immcdiuti ly upon iier ransom and they | sent forward to Port Orford, a swift trav elling messenger toiuform the people of their approaching danger. Port Orford was at once placed in a condition of de fence, and when the Indians appeared be fore it they were repulsed and returned to their camp ou Rogue river. Foldiers and volunteers were soon on tiie ground, and, availing themselves of the information communicated by Mrs. Geisel, they made a sudden nssault upon the Indian fortifications byway of the ap proach discoveied by the captive wo | man, and after a closely contested battle they conipletily routed and killed many of the Indian warriors. This defeat so dispirited tliein that llicy never rallied again, and were afterward the most peaceable Indians on the Pacific coast. The Rogue River War, which extended over a large portion of Southern Oregon, was substantially ended at this place. It is a part of ttie written history of the Pacific coast States and Territories. kOsS RULE.

ALTOUNA, Marcli 4.— No county gives a better illustration of the remit of Chair man Andrews' attempted boss rule tluui does Blair. Through his grip upon the machine, Andrews tried to force Delamater candi dates on tliis county. Ho hud a conference with Chairman McDowell, ot the Blair County Commit tee, sliorliy after the Buyer Convention. Mr. McDowell before that time had hern regarded as a Hastings man. For some time after this there were reports afloat that McDowell was loa led witli funds tor an Andrews-Drlamuler boom. It is said that lie spent considerable money among c itain wnikers in Altoouauiid Hollidays- burg. One man, while under tlie influ ence of liquor, boasted ttiat lie had been given SSO to carry his pieciuct for Dela mater. There were indications iu a great many quarters of crooked manipulation at Andrews' instance. Delamater, as usual, put his foot in it. He lliouglit that all that was necessary was to draw on the Standard Oil Com pany for mine casli nun give it to An drews to to buy Blair w ilh. Although ac tively fot Delamater fi.r a time, Cbuir lllUU McDowell has of late been quiet and tiis barrel seems to have been emptied. No liutier illustration of tlie contemp tuous, higli-tiuuded way that Delairater i in|>I<>ys could bo given Iban the way be ami Andrews liavo acted towaid Me. Dowi 11. The Blair chairintin is a well meaning man, and 1 am told, be resents t e way in which Andrews oiders him mound. On Tuesday night last Andrews weiil East and expected to see McDowell at i lie Aitoona depot, The Chairman was id and unable to be ihe re, and Andrews frightened the two men who were present to meet him by his vulgarity and pro fanity. Worse than tiiis is the way Andrews boasts that" tin old man'" (meaning Quay) wants him to capture the county f>r D. launder. sOlllO of Quay's warm f sends promptly deny tliis, but Andrews repents it just the same. It is-said that Chairman McDowell has taken offense at a sneering remark made by 1). lamater last Monday. Delamater was talking to a friend in the depot and did not notice a young fellow who was standing near by half hidden iu a shadow. Tney were discussing politics when Delmnaler said, without lowering his voice: Where did you get that cliaii uiun of yours?" He is easy," Naturally Mr. McDowell think* th'B is rubbing it in on iiini. I'lie friends of Montootb awl Hastings have found that the rank and tile of the party aiu docking to their support. The ory is " anybody but Dulamater." .Mr. Andrews has not time to look after his newspaper lieutenants in their own towns and now they " serve" hint on the train as he goes cast or west. On Tuesday he was busy giving orders to a Westmoreland editor all the way from the Union Depot in Pittsburgh to Greens burg. Andrews bud the Pullman with the curtains lowered and everything as secret us possible, but the editor walked oui with a smile at Greeusburg that told things were satisfactorily urrauged as far as he was concerned. Fixing edliors of country papers is one of Andrews' strong points. In some cases he has even gone so far as to buyout the papers entirely and put a new managmcnt in charge.

OAKDALK, STANI-LACS COUNTY, CAI,., \ February 22, 13H0.> To I lie Editor <>J the JoltnuUnen Democrat. Your valuable paper reaches me about once a month; indeed I do not know what I should do without it, but if I could get it once a week 1 would rather. I presume the snow bjockade lias something to do with it, but I never get it regularly, and 1 sent two letters which are uot accounted for, so far as I know. lam glad to know that your town is expanding, and that desolated Johns town Ims sixteen wards left. It may bo prosperous yet. There is a good deal of grumbling übout the manner in which the funds sent to relieve the people have been spent. Our little town contributed about §7O or SBO and sent the money on, but not oue man who subscribed thinks that it was right to pay for losses to prop erly. The money was sent to relieve suf fering and tor nothing else, feme people drew largely from the funds sent to re store their losses on property, men who ha I lots of property left. People here and elsewhere gave money to relieve the sufferers of Johnstown, who have no prop erty of their own, and they think it hard that money should go to men who are already richer than they are, and they call the transaction a regular swindle. That is the mildest epithet that a poor man here who contributed to the sufferers can give it. Well, business in our State is on the stand-still. Property went up a few years ago, but there wis a subsequent collapse and now times are hard. Immi gration has ceased. The tide ol travi lis northward of this, to (begun and Wash ington, and we have had a rainy season, which has greatly impeded fanning. Af ter live mouths diy weather we have had live months coustant rain. Farming pur suils have been completely clogged. There will not he one half a crop put in. All we can depend on now istbemines, the wool business, the gr pe bu-incss, and commerce. Money is tight. Almost every farm is mortgage 1 and many nior gages will I) • f sreolnsed. lj*gal basins will he tiptop, and this is a tia I There are several irrigation schemes ailoat. liut they seem to di ■ g their slow I tieih along, " leaving the people still to doubt whether the suake thai makes the track is going south or co uiag back." Altogether. Cdifor u i is u longer an attractive place. It is the easiest place to get rich and the easiest place to break up i i the United States, an ' eup : dalis's ad and shark • know this. iliey act ac c irdingly. ilea! i-t n's have 100 much power, and i •••■> . . e everybody without in icy.

The Stah •nd "n ul lify our valley will s-ion change fi o un agricul ture, to a ftuit growit.g C UP try and the large rat.the. will he bmk iup and divid ed out into small f.uit owing farms. The people will tli : live much as they do in the east, they will i aise a variety of graius and fruiis, slock i.nd vegetables aid not depend on na entire wheat crop for speculation. All will have a compe tence and none a monopoly. There will he more frugality and le.-s | rodigality, a consummation devoutly to be wished. As things go now California i- a land of ex tremes. It hurts a fanner more here to have the toothache than it does to break up, because breaking is ao every day oc currence. Success to you and yours. 8. B. MCCOHMICK. l'ay of Column Enuiiw ratom.
