STATE ITEMS
A Dastardly Act. - Those who have traveled the road leading from the city south to Boon's ferry, on the Willamette will remember crossing the Tualatin River on a free bridge, which, though constructed several years, is nevertheless strong and good for a couple of years' more service without repairing. A new bridge has been thrown across the river contiguous to the old structure, and travelers patronize it upon the representation that the old one is unsafe. A few weeks since the planks were partially removed during the cover of night, thereby endangering the lives of those who might chance to pass during the night. The citizens of the vicinity relaid the plains and gave out that the bridge was trustworthy. One night last week an attempt was made to blow the bridge up with powder, but with partial success. The noise was distinctly heard by the entire neighborhood, and efforts have been made to discover the party who thus recklessly trifled with the lives of unsuspecting travelers. The whole affair is suspicious, and the citizens are determined to set a trap by which the dastard may be caught. A word to the wise is sufficient. - Herald.

WILLIAMS ON RECONSTRUCTION.
Senator Williams addressed the citizens of this place on the 23d ult. on what he was pleased to call "reconstruction." His speech was very lengthy so much so that we have not space to give a full synopsis of it, and we shall only notice a few points, to indicate what is really the object of the "reconstruction" scheme of the Rump Congress.
He first undertook to explain how the quarrel originated between the President and Congress, and asserted over and over, that Congress- that intelligent body- did not wish any quarrel with the President, but that it was forced upon them; and in explanation of the cause of the terrible quarrel, which seems to haunt Congress and all the radical members thereof- he said, Andy Johnson had changed his political opinions since he had accidentally became President; had swung round the circle, and had left the Union party to join in full fellowship and sympathy with the rebels; that Johnson had been in favor of negro suffrage, and read the letter to Governor Sharkey to prove that fact, that since allying himself with the rebels and their sympathizers he had vetoed all the most righteous legislation of Congress- the Freedmen's Bureau Bill, the Civil Rights Bill, and the Reconstruction Bill- and was in favor of admitting to, their seats in Congress the representatives elected by those Southern States, thereby completing the restoration of the Union.
The Governments of the Southern States, which have been in operation since the war ceased, the astute Senator claimed were all bogus, null and void, and not binding upon the people of those States, because he asserted, they had been manufactured at Washington City by Andy Johnson, sent to those States and ratified by them.
The Southern States now under the pains and penalties of reconstruction, ratified the amendments, which were declared valid, thereby acknowledging beyond all controversy that the State Governments of those Southern States were legal, Constitutional and republican in form. Hence it is not these States or the form of government of these States that Congress has attempted to reconstruct, but it is the inhabiditants (sic) thereof. According to the Judge's logic the Southern State governments are good and valid for one purpose, and at the same time bogus and null from the beginning for every purpose. This is as clear and logical as his arguments upon negro suffrage, which he positively said was not to be desired; but it must be done to keep in power the loyal party.

SAD ACCIDENT. ON Sunday last our citizens were astounded by the sad intelligence of the accidental shooting of Mr. Thomas Driskell, one of our oldest and most respected citizens. Mr. Driskell went hunting on Friday, expecting to return the following day- and at nightfall his horse came home alone, the family became alarmed but it was too late to prosecute a search until the following day. At daybreak, on Sunday his sons started and meeting Mr. Jeans, who had seen Mr. D., on Friday- he conducted them to the place he last saw him and a few rods from there, the corpse was found. From the position in which Mr. D. was found it seems that he had had the muzzle of the gun in his hand and in drawing it towards him the hammer came in contact with some brush; the gun was found entagled (sic) in some oak brush at his side.
This sad accident deprives Lane county of one of its oldest settlers and most respected citizens, and a large family is left to mourn the untimely loss of a kind father.

TOWN AND COUNTY.
Mr. Wm. Miller, the owner of the thresher that was burned on the Coast Fork last week brought suit against L. Vanarburg for its value and obtained a judgment for two hundred and fifty dollars. Major Chrisman, the owner of the grain stack which was burned at the same time has obtained a judgment against the same party.
It looks as though some action of a criminal nature might follow.
