VagnbOnds-For some time past, our town has
been the abiding place Of a number OF vagabonds
without occupation or visible means Of support, and
occasional thefts have been preperated without leav
ing any clue as to the guilty parties. The forbear-
ance OF our citizens was seyerally taxed but finally
reached the eliminating point Friday last when II
was discovered that Mr.. o. H. White (carpenter) had
been robbed of his tools The thieves left mark on
his workbench, but unfortunately 1t was not sufi-
tiently egible 10 lead to their detection meeting
having been called, it was decided TO favor three OF
the most prominent vagabonds, (twO white men and
one negro) and on whom suspicion Of the above
theft rested, with a ride beyond county limits,
which accordingly done three of our citizens
accompanying them as an escort. We had hardly
been rid Of their presence when we heard Of their ex
plots in Olympia first committing highway rob
berry and subsequently stealing boat valued at $3.50
with which they made their escape Would it not be
well, now that the work OF puri6cation has com
menced. to disposed Of the Indian vagrants in our
midst in a similar manner Are they no. often the
instruments Of whites in the commission of crimes
50 we have hccn informed and so we believe. Their
proper place Is reservations, where we hope they
will speedily be sent.-Puget Sound Herald, 25H ut.
The foisting of vagabonds and paupers
upon the citizens Of Thurston county has
been borne about as long as their is any
virtue in forbearaRce, and some plan should
be adopted by them to abate the evil, or
provide against its continuance. We think
it far from being just or courteous, for
the citizens Of one county to favor suspect
ed thieves or vHgabonds with q ride be
yOnd our (their) county limits" thus turn
ing them loose to prey upon their neigh.
bors. For several years, Thurston county
has been made sort of asylum for a large
proportion Of the paupcrs Of the Puget
Sound portion of the territory, which has
been the main cause of our present heavy
county Indebtedness and according to the
above showing, we are row to be made the
penal colony of our Pierce county neigh
bors for suspected thieves and robbers. A
city charter was long since granted by the
Legislature for the incorporation of Stella
COON. Why it has never been put into
operation is none Of our business /; but the
failure to do so is no apology for intruding
upon US unwelcome company. Should our
town incorporation be kept up, we hope
laws will be enacted to meet such cases as
above. The boat referred to belonged to
Messrs. JOHN HEAD and r. WooD of this
place They followed the thieves to Stella
coom-npprehended them-recovere the
boat, aud, as we learn, two of the rascals
were treated TO a public "eat" of ten or
twenty Ia rigiiants.

FIre.-Thursday night fire occurred on the east
side OF First between Taylor and Yamhl streets, re
sutng in the destruction OF the two buildings owned
BY Messrs. Hamilton and Taylor, and occupied as
liners establishments loss estimated at about $1,000
The houses situated in the centre Of block of
wooden buildings, where il seemed TO be almost i'm
possible to stay the confagrati0n until vast amount
Of property had been consumed and thatit thus
stayed is owing to the fine organization and admirable
appointments Of our ere department-POTtlGnd
Times, 26ih ult.
The Ere above referred TO is noted in
a line or two elsewhere in to-day's paper,
and the paragraph is copied for the special
purpose Of calling the attention of our citi-
zens-particularly merchants, landlords and
property holders, to the importance-tbe
absolute necessity that now exists that
some security against the ravageS of fire
should be procured Portland has been
miracle in the history Of wooden cities
no dcsolating fires having ever swept any
great portion Of her from existence. Her
citizens have been prudent, however, and
FOR years past the permanent business
houses, and many others, perhaps, have
been built Of brick, and constructed fire.
proof And again, they did not delay the
procuring of fire engines until they were
called upon to witness the wooded portion
of their city in ashes; but acting upon the
principle that a stitch in time saves nine :"
that "an ounce of preventive is worth q
pound Of cure" have mensurably placed
themselves beyond tho reasonable contin-
goncy Of very disastrous conaagration.
In these things, the Portanders have acted
most wisely; and if we recollect Alright,
the b'boys had one machine furnish
ed them TO run with, before the corporate
limits Of that city had larger permanent
population than Olympia can now boast.
We ask our citizens to give the above par
agraph another reading, and then imagine
the possibility Of FIRE breaking out in q
like locality in town-sny between Second
aud Fourth streets-especially on the east
side of Main. Should a fire get under good
headway in either of the blocks on Main
street between Fourth and First, as mat
ters now stand with us, what could we do
about it p? Just exactly nothing Does
any one suppose that its progress could
possibly be arrested short of the destruc.
tion of thrice 1000 worth of property, to
say nothing of stores and effects? We are
told that FIRE engine, in every way an
swerablc 70 our present wants, with suffi-
cheney of hosea hose carriage, &c, can
he purchased in Boston or New York, and
landed at Olympia Wharf, for $1,000
just the estimated cost of the late fire in
Portland. We have amongst us a number
of as experienced, good, practical fremen
as live upon the coast, from whom the un-
might take profitable lessons in
the management of on engine. We ask
our citizens to think Of these things Let
US have some cisterns and a Gre engine be-
fore we regret it.

with the development Of each year. If the
principles Of the democratic party were
worth cOntendiug for, they are worth main
tanning preserving; and this is the point
upon which we take issue with all its oppo-
nents. m
We have ever claimed that all political

to belong to that~party which is the most

Ae sell governing progressive democracy; and
here is the point at which we have been ar

1t would seem that certain interested pol.
iticians in our territory, (claimiag to be
democrats}, think that the masses of the
party don't knOv enough to knOtO who they
want to represent them in Congress, and
elsewhere; and hence, in blind alleys or un-
frequented resorts, the uninitiated are tax
en- in and have explained to them the doc
trines Of the true churchp-the bulls Of
the faithful. Now in conclusion, all we
have to say about this matter is, that If the
masses of the democratic party neglect to
turn out at their primary conventions, and
elect such delegates as they might have
reason to believe would represent their
views and preferences, the fault viii be
with them. It will be taeit acknowledge
ment, that deception-double-dealing, is a
more merchantable articIe-at least finds
more bidders" than plain sailing democra-
cy eau induce to come to the scratch. The
question is reduced to this, in our next cleo
