On motion to elect seven delegates to

~ We have no further news concern
ing the movements Of Northern Indians.
A diversity of opinion among them as to
the proper mode Of attack, and want Of
concert and a unity Of action are assigned
as reasons for delaying descent upon us
at this most auspicions Of times. In con.
sequences Of these troubles, aud the unset
lied state Of affairs consequent thereupon,
the Hon. ]. S. Smith, of Whidby's Island,
has removed his family to the Willamette
valley for safety.
Thus are our citizens driven from pillar
to post for want of that protection which
any but republican form of government
should long since have provided US with.
Such are ainOt the convictions that are
forced upon our minds.

Democrats Attend.

Remember that tomorrow is the day
Fixed for the convening Of the county con-
ven'iOn of Thnrston county. Let every
delegate heretofore appointed by the pre-
cinct meetings be in attendance at an early
hour Let every one come here prepared
to carry out the views Of those who may
have delegated 10 them their powers, and
see that these views are attained.
1t is the more desirable that all should
attend at this time, as the question Of nom.
mating candidates for the legislature, as
well as county officers, may arise on that
occasion. As delegate from the Olym-
pia precinct, we feel authorized to say that,
in this matter, she has no choice, either at
that or any future time being immaterial
to her. Ca this question, she will probably
stand aloOf, and let the county delegates
decide thereon 1t is therefore desirable
and hoped that all will be present

destitute Of news. Politics seem to absorb
tho time and attention Of politicians and
editors there as well as elsewhere. Should
the mail arrive in due time, we shall be
enabled to give our. readers the result oI
the labors Of the Territorial Convention
which assembled at Salem on Monday, the
18th inst, for the purpose of nominating

however, that We may safely anticipate the
arrival of the mail. and give it as our be-

~ BY the last Oregon papers received
here. we perceive rumor has it that Gen.
PALMER, formerly Superintendent of Indian
Affairs for that Territory, has been ap.
pointed to supersede Gov. Curry as execu-
tive Of Oregon, and that Col. ]. PATTON
ANDERSON, our late Delegate in Congress,
supersedcs Gov STEVENS in like capacity.
A rumor of this kind has been aAoat
here, ns well as in our sister Territory, but
we have been unable TO trace its source or
obtain clue as to whence is derived the
information. So far as>~Our Territory,
however, is concerned, we have no fault to
find : we are rather of opinion the appoint

Esy- Late advices from Lecompton
Kansas, state that Gov Geary having
visited the Territorial Legislature, wai
assaulted at the door By Sheriff Sherrod
While leaving, Sherrod insulted Geary and
spit upon him. He had arms, and it was
supposed it was plot to asSassinate the
Governor, but he was prevented from using
his arms. The Conncil condemn the out
rage by resolution, while the House fully
suStains Sherrod.
A BLOODY AFFEAY IN KANSAS. On the
night of the 10Th of February, a bloody
atlray took place in Lecompton, in which
the sheriff was killed, and three other men
wounded. A meeting of Gov Geary's
friends was held at the Capitol to sustain
his course, aud express disapprobation OF
the recent outrage to him. Sheriff Shcr-
rod and his friends came armed, to break
it up. When the resolutions were read
Sherrod declared that any one voting for
them was liar and coward The ex-
ctemeQt grew intense. 81 Sherrod drew his
piSiol<and fired, wounding q man named
Shepherd. Miscellaneous shooting then
began, and was continued for some time:
Mr.. Sherrod was shot through the head by
a young man named Jones, who came from
Pennsylvania with the Governor Shep-
herd had two bullets in his thigh, and
wound on his head two others are slightly
wounded. The Sherrod men, seeing they
would be overIl lpwered, offered no violence
after SherroI fell.

the latter on the ground floor of Masonic
Hall), according to previous notice, on
Friday evening last The assemblage on
both occasions was quite large, and all
appeared to be highly grati6ed. We were
unable to be present at the recitation and
examination Of the pupils of the Institute,
but are Informed that it was Of highly

to the parents of the scholars.

success.
The exhibition Of Mr.. WHrwoRrH's
school at the capitol was truly a feast of
reason. The room. though large, was
crowded to OvcrHOwing. The parts as
signed to the scholars were well performed.
The compositions by the young ladies and
gents were good, and delivered in style
not to be excelled by any of their years.
The decorations Of the room we're neat and
appropriate, aud the young ladies appeared

Congressional Corruption.

The Congressional Corruption Committee
have done we'll and their researches have
been followed by good results. Three OF
the members they arraigned as guilty OF
bribery and corruption, MeSSrs. Matterson,
Gilbert, and Edwards all Of New York,
when brought before the bar of the House
for Judgment, resigned. Two of them were
allowed to 20 without any further proceed
ings against them but the chief Of the
trio, Mr.. c. b. MatterSon, was not permit
ted to escape. A resolution pronouneing
him unworthy of a seat among the mem
bers of the House was adopted, and he
was left TO return to his constituents II
yet remains to be seen whether they Will
send him back or not
y Mr.. Welch, of Connecticut, the fourth
member presented for expulsion by the
Committee, was honorably acqatted-it
turning out that he was more OF victim
than tool of the lobby, whilst Mr.. Sim
onton, the correspondent Of the New York
Times, and Mr.. Triplett, who was concern
ed in book speculation with Mr.. Gilbert,
were expelled from the reporters desks in
the House.
Mr.. Mattcrson, one of the expelled mem
bers, complained bitterly against the course
adopted towards him, aud persisted in
stating that there were twenty-siX other
members as deeply implicated as himself.
These, however, may properly be made
the subject of another Committee, at the
next session Of Congress. Simonton felt
very bad at the position in which he was
placed.
The first resolution against Mr.. Matter.
son, which was passed, was as follows:
Resolved, That Orsmus B. Matterson
member of this House from the State o.
New York. did incte parties deeply inter
ested in thc,passage of joint resolution
for securing the Des Moines grant, to have
and use large sum Of money and Other
valuable considerations corruptly, for the
purpose of procuring the passage Of salt
joint resolution through this House"

nays. The second resolution was alsC
passed by similar vote. 1t was as fol

the members of this House had associated
themselves together and pledged them
selves each to the other not to vote for an,
law or resolution granting money or land
unless they were paid for it, has falsely anC
wilfully assailed and DETAINED the charac
ter of this House, and has proved himscl
unworthy to be q member thereof
The third resolution, declaring tina

DEATH OF DIR. KANE.-Dr. f. K. Kane
the great Arctic explorer, died at Havana
on the 10Th of February. His funeral at
that place was most praiseworthy affair
and was conducted with every demonstra'
ton Of respect for the fame Of the deceased
1t was participated in by all classes, the
Captaiu-G Gencral taking an unusually prom,
nent part. When the steamer Cqhawba,
on board Of which his body was placed
was leaving for New Orleans, every hat
was raised in the Certina dc Vadez, and
the Spanish flag on the foriifcations was
lowered in honor Of the illuStriouS deceased
His remains arrived on the oath, at New
Orleans, and were escorted to the steamer
for Louisville by the Free Masons, military,
consus, city authorities, and an immense
concourse of citizens. The consular, ship,
ping and public buildings flags were dis
played at half-mast, and minute guns were
fired from sunrise until the embarkatiou Of
the body.
The Legislatures Of the different States
in session, passed resolutions deploring the
loss Of the Doctor, and sympathizing with
his family. His father (Judge Kane) and
his brother arrived on the 9th Feb. al
Louisville, to await the remains Of the de-
ceased, which were expected there about
the 4th of March Business was to be
suspended when they arrived, and the
Free Masons, city council, frcmen, and
citizens were to pay honor to his remains.
Few men have died within the memory
of the present generation whose loss is
more deplored, and all over the country
the most active preparations were being
made to pay a suitable respect to his
memory

The DIFFEREScr.-A few weeks ago a
poor man in New York, to procure flour
and few groceries to keep his family from
starvation, forged an order, and was sentenc-
ed to six years in the penitentiary. More
recently, Huntington, for forging to the
amount of millions, has been sentenced for
less than five years.
