This was done by nearly strictly sectional vote,

Preston S. Brooks upon Senator Sumner, was a

were conversng together amicably to all appear.
ance, when Mr. Stanwood made the above remarks.
Offence was taken by Mr.. Vicks, who raised his
and beat Mr.. Stanwood the face and shoulders,
causing the blood to flow freely. Several persons
who were present. interfered and separated the par
ties, otherwise it is uncertain how the affair would
have terminated. Mr.. Stanwood was conducted to
his rooms, and physician was procured to attend
him. .a
/ Vicks was arrested by officer Dunn, of the 18th
ward police, and taken to the station house, where
he was accommodated with quarters for the night
The following morning he was brought before JUS
tice Brennan, but Mr.. Stanwood failed to appear
against him, he discharged from custody. 1t
subsequently appeared that the injuries Mr.. s. had
sustained prevented his appearance at Court at that
time. Later in the day, however, he was conveyed
to the Sd district police court in carriage, where
he made charge of assault and battery against Mr..
Ficks. On this complaint, warrant for the arrest
of Vicks was issued. He will, doubtless, be COM
PEELED to answer for his conduct at the court Of
sions.
There is probably mistake in the above. The

that Col. /. N. EBEY has been removed
from the Office Of Collector of Customs for
the District Of Puget Sound, aud that NJ.
II. FRosT, Esqr., of Steilacoom has been
appointed his successor. We know moth
ing, neither have we heard, as We think,
any wcll-grounded surmises as to the prob
able cause which brought about the reno
val of Col. E. As he has been an officer
in the revenue service, perhaps the ''Naval
Retiring Board" may have arrogutcd to
itself author n the premises, as it ap-
pears that board is capable of doing almost
anything. Mr. FRosT is "true-blne7
democrat, and will, no doubt, make an en-
ergetic and popular officer. Other appoint
ments, we are further Informed, have, or
are about to be made. ... .r..f ~

RczalaEIGS

OF HON. SETH oATLIN, HON. {. C. rAdErT, 90
On the first page Of to-day's paper will
be found a somewhat full report of the re-
marks made by Hon. SETH CATIN, late
President of the Council, Hon. c. c. PA
.GErr, Councilman from Lewis county, and
others, upon a preamble and resolution,
which will be found preceding the reported
discussion, offered by the latter named gen
tleman, relative to the fraudulent, mock,
zone horse joint convention. We hope
that all will read both sides Of the ques'
ton calmly and Observation-Disclosures
that all unprcjudiced minds will not hest
tate to stamp the seal of condemnation
upon the miserable political tricksters, and
unprincipled party kuavcs, who, descend
ing from the high position where a conf
ding people placed them as their represen
tatives, undertook to play the gambling
game of dishonorable horsejockeys, and
by trickery and chicanery, endeavored tC
entrap the Council in mesh Of base and
contemplate bubbles, common to the dis
honest pettifogger; and which, if success
ful, would have had the effect to destroy
effectualIy, the separate powers, rights and
independence of that body. [
We doubt not but there was some little
squrming under the hot-sbot--the calling
fire of the "OH Iron Sides" President Of
tho Council which lie dealt ont with or
unsparing hand in the course of the debate
The remarks Of Mr.. PAGETT, too, will be
found to be in good taste, and directly tC
the point. In fact, Mr. p. has taker
every person here by surprise. His usuq
quiet manner led many to suppose he would
prove deficient in extempore argument; but
during the late session, he has fully demon
atrated, that, in addition 10 proving him
self staunch, regular-line democrat, it SC
transpires that he has also earned the rep
utation rs being one OF the most clear-hcad
ed and ready debaters in either branch o
the legislature.
The sequel in the remarks referred to
will show, that the question raised in Mr.
PoE'5 protest, was voted down--MessrS
Huff, Pagett, Patterson, Stricklcr and Mr.
President, voting in the affirmative. AL
these gentlemen deserve the confidence
respect and esteem Of the democratic
party, and their constituents generally, fol
the faithful, manly and upright manner il
which they have discharged their duty al
Councilmen. They need have no fears o.
the record" as to the manner in which
they have performed their stewardship.

On the first page Of to days paper will
be found communication from Judge
GILMoRE HAYS, late Captain of the first
company Of Wash. Ter. Mounted Volun-
tccrs, in which he repcls the insinuation,
or rumor ahoat, as he AYERS, that his OBJ
iect in again taking the field, is with q
view to military advancement. Judge HIS
communication was received last week, but
too late for publication.
The present is no time to question the
motircs, prejudicially, of men who enroll
themselves for the defence Of the homes
and frosdes of our suffering people. 1t
but betrays the smaAaess and meaNaeSs Of
the soul of him that does SO, and we
venture the assertion that no man, or thing
who is base enough to allude in terms Of
disparagement to the motires which they
suppose may actuate this man or that man,
who may think proper to volunteer in the
present war, will ever be found with mus
ket or rife in the ranks himself. From
the bottom of our soul we most heartily
despise any one who will permit himself to
allow political considerations, bitter rivalry,
"green-eyed jealousy" or lean, lank envy
to array themselves against o vigorous pro,
secution Of the present war. Men who do
so, are, in effect, but ''giving aid and cSen-
fort" to the enemy, by contributing their
weight towards retarding the enrolment
of volunteers, and hence procrastinating
for as long time as possible, a justly
merited chaStisement Of the faithless Indi-
ans for their numerous crimes and outrages
Such men do not deserve the patriots pro-
lection, but should be driven into the
ranks of the savages-where they belong
and where their "daily walk and converse,
tion" would not infcst or infect the haunts
and atmosphere Of those who stand ready
to answer in obedience 10 their country's
call. When will such carping cease? Let
the example Of Judge Hays and those en-
rolled with him, be initiated by others com
ing forward and registering their names
along with them, aud oil will be well.

name Of the commander Of the Republic,
or the name of the commander Of the
troops, or of the subordinate officers. Else
where in to-day's paper it will be seen that

retained at that post, and 200 being des-
patched for'Puget Sound, as above---being
just one f6urth Of the force intended to OPP

Any person who is at all conversaut with
the state of Indian affairs, hostilities and
aggressions along the Sound, and in short,
the whole country this side Of the Cascade
mountains, is well aware that the safety
of our people require an equal dirisiOn Of
