Affairs Moinewhat More Hopeful iu Oreson and California. Ashland, Ore., liebruary 7. The ex tent of the damage by the late ruins to the Oregon and California railroad be tween here and Roseburg ISO miles uorth of here cannot be estimated even approximately, but is very heavy. The railroad from Grant's I'ass to Koseburg is reported us one continuation of slides. Streams ull over Southern Oregon are re ported as high, if not higher than in 1861. An immense slitle occurred on the ruilroud half a mile south of West Fork, in Cow Creek canyon. The slide came from a high mountain down to the bot tom of thecunyon, a distance of 800 or 1 .000 feet coverii g in the truck and tilling the canyon. The report says that trees ure standing on the slide the snme as they were when it stnrted from the sum mit. The water backed upin the canyon for a distance of three miles, is 500 feet wide nnd from 50 to 75 feet deep. The tunnel there is completely buried in wa ter. The creek is trying to cut through the slide, but the earth is jammed in so tight that so far it has not given away. A telegraph lineman built u raft yester duy and will try to get a line across the lake that has been formed. Portland, Ore., February 7. The sit uation here is more favorable. The wa ter husfullen several inches and is rapidly going tlown, but even yet the only means of traveling on the front street is by boats, the water being too deep to per mit pedestrians to walk on tile streets even with rublwr boots. No correct esti mate of the damage can be obtained un til the river recedes within its banks. Both bridges across the river which were threatened for two days past have stood the pressure, and are now thought to lie out of dunger. NIPPF.O IM THK Bi ll, Aii Attempt to Imitate Louis Ma polcou FruHlrated. Paris, February 7. Hy prompt action the government to-day nipicd in the bud what was apparently intended to be a royalist cuni fl' vlut modeled on Louis Napoleon's mode of descent upon Boulogne, and the only consequence is that the Duke of Orleans, the eldest son of the Count of Paris, is to-night incus tody. The duke arrived in Paris to-dav. bearing a letter written and signed by Count tie Paris announcing to the faith ful and to all others the count's abdica tion, lie had also with him a manifesto addressed to the people of France. Nomi nally, nnd according to the theory ol pretenders, a pretender is always king, mid therefore the Count of Paris abdi cates a throne he never xissesscd. lie consequently abdicates his claims as pre- teiioer, ami in virtue oi iius uuuicuuoii, all his claims, rights and titles descend to his eldest son, the young gentleman now in the hands of the authorities l'liilliie Louis Robert, Duke d' Orleans. This gentleman is therelore not merclt one of the many vagrant princes, but the actual pretender to the throne in virtue of his claims ns the heir of Louis Philliic. and also as heir ol the Old llourbon line. His coining into the countrx in nida tion of the law banishing all lieads and direct heirs of the reigning families, is u rash escapade il it stands alone. AM OLD HTAtiK DHIVLK BKAD. AliuoMt the Last of a Pant Age's Heroes. The Charlotte Chronicle tells of the deuth of Allen Cruse, an old stage driver. a nice of men now practically extinct since their uses ore gone, ami many of the present generation have no knowledge ol them. Hut licfore the days of railroads, there was not a town or village boy who did not look upon the stage driver as a sort of hero, as a king uHin his box. monarch of all be surveyed us lie gath ered up his reins, playfully touched up his ofl lender with the long lash of his whip and rattled away over the roud. and then in darkiicssand in storm, or on rough mountain roads, tlclicat.ly thread ing the edge of precipices, or coming safely to the bottom of some break neck hill, he was indeed a hero. Thev are all nearly gone, and the Chronicle tells oi one of the last. Of Mr. Cruse it s.ivs: H wn. not a native of thU eitv. but of Kowan county. He had livid here since 1K40, and was 7H years of age. His wile and two married il'iughters. Mrs. S. E. Todd and Mrs. . T. Iliitler. survive him. Before the days of railroads Mr. Cruse was a stnge driver. S. A. Cohen remem bers that when became to Charlotte to live, thirty-nine years ago, he came from lllnckstock, S. C, in a stage driven by Mr. Cruse. For n long time Mr. Cruse drove n stage between this city and Salisbury, but since the completion of a railroad to Salisbury, he had devoted his attention to the dray business in this city. Sir.

When the Bonrdof Aldermen ndjourned Inst night the reiwrt of the committee appointed last Tucstlny evening to look into the street paving matter was in a sndly disfigured state. The document was submitted by Al derman Pullium. It was in the shape of a contract, unsigned, with Gen. Young, and called for the paving of one mile of street nearest to the court house square with Holwood blocks, on a Hale patent foundation. The contract covered a number of pnges of legal cap paper, gave the plan to be followed in laying the pavement and seemed to lie iron clad. The consideration was fixed at $1.85 per square yard. In making the contract Mr. Pulham explained the ideu of the committee. Ii was true that at the previous meelinc resolutions had been adopted instructing the committee to advertise for bids. Pre vious to this Gen. Young had talked openly of what his figures would Ix, and upon the adoption of the resolutions by the council he decided to withdraw. Hi. bid was, however, to the knowledge ol the committee a fair und just one, and they finally decided to make a contract with him nt the figures named for tht laying of the pavement. That was thi renson of the contract submitted last night. The document was drawn by the city attorney. It stated that the work wut to be done under the supervision of thi Board of Aldermen and city engineer ; that it was to be begun on or before June 1, lSUO, nnd completed on oi liefore November 1, 1S0O. The means for the payment were $1,000 on the com pletion of each quarter mile and the bal ance in five equul pnyments. In case ot a disagreement between the committee nnd Mr. Young a board of arbitrators to consist of one for each party, und who were to Ik entirely disinterested persons, were to k chosen, and in case of a disn- rccment between them they were to ap point an umpire. A small portion of the macadam ilrcady on the streets wus to be used In die contractor, the rest was left at the option of the city. Mr. Richmond Pearson, who was pres ent, asked the Hoard if they had n right to contract a debt of this kind. "In a matter of this kind involving nn exienditure of money so great, I believe it a good thing to look into," he contin ued. "About how much will this amount (if pavement cost ?" Something like $30,000," answered Mayor Hlanton. "And can you make such a contract ?" He was informed that the Board had counseled with the city attorney and thnt they had liccn advised thnt they could. "Then you can as well authorize the laying of ten miles of pavement as well as one mile," said Mr. Pearson, "and I want to say to you gentlemen that il you have the ower to tax this city in the sum of $300,000 for street improve ments you are vested with grave respon sibilities." Alderman Miller showed here the city code, and article 109 he read. It was to the effect that it is among the powers ol the Board of Aldermen to borrow money only by a vote of a majority of the voters of the city.
