The Last Herald AgEin.-Trne TO its procliyi-
tics, the last number Of the Stvacoom Herald Is de-
voted almost bodily, to the publication Of communica-
tons prcisHding to be refutatons Of matters that has
appeared in the Pioneer and Democrat and blind at
taeks upon the nominee Of the democratic party for
delegate To Congress. EditOrialy we complained
u for not giving publicity to the vindications Of
Messrs. o. P. MExKER, PHILIP KEAcH and R. S.
MOORE, in reply to the Communication Of Capt W.
Cove, published two weeks since. We think that it
required considerable "brass,' much assurance and a
hard check to ask u.s. after matter had been pre-
pared for the paper, to publish pretended vndicA.
tiOn Of Col. WALLACE from the charges alledged
against him; particularly when the Herald Is issued
simultaneously with this paper, aud when if any ex.
tmvagantcharGes were made by Capt. COVE, they
could readily receive publicity through the columns
Of the Herald through this paper. And again, We
can bot admire the presumption Of a man that would
throw open his columns to give Publicity to low per
sOual attacks upon the integrity Of officers in the late
volunteer organization and then assume that he has
neither had time nor space" to insert their written
statements in reply.
Capt Cows rcjoinder will be found in another
column, aud will be seem is sustained by the state
meuts Of gentlemen Of unimpeachable integrity fo
vemeity. Let those who have any doubts in the prem
ses make enquiries as to the acts contained therein
the late Attorney of the estate Of Lieut SLAUGHTER
We merely r.tsr to tlls testimony, that those wht
doubt can convince them elves by enquiry.
In one OF the communications ii the Htr4ld, signtt
l"DnocRAT." and dated at Vancouver, an attempt 4
made to show that the last Congress was paying
one and that becanse the last Congress took up ant
passed etrtain bills that had been due for fifteen OF
twenty years. for small amounts, that Il was the flu
Of our delegate that our own war Indebtedness wai
not iqudAted. We think It more than likely that ex
Gov. NuMuLLIN should be feel so disposed could en-
tighten citizens upon this sui ject II is generally
understood that lie figured conspicuously with ths
Third Auditor, ia making up his report upon the just
ness Of our war Claims.
The same correspondent Of the Herald assumes
"that the democratic convention Of Clarke county wa,
held on the 18th OF June and nominated the follow
ing ticket:-F For tse COUneii-H. L. CAPLEs Forth
House,. d. BILEs, CLARK SHORT, - SIMMONS
- KNAFP, - SHoCxLEY. And says "the PioasG
folks had this result in time for the last issre bat
did not publish 1t, &e." Now this Is simply LIE
The proceedings Of that convention have never beer
forwarded to US, and we do not even now know the
gven names Of several of the candidates There ha,
been evident design about this matter to withheld
the proceedings from US, to the end that little pot
ical capital might bemade out Of the non-appearance
Of the ticket in its appropriate place, All suSh at
tempts are low, mean and nggardly, to which none
but craven hearted scamps win resort. Upon the
present occasion, we do not consider 1t necessary tc
pay any further attention to what appears in the Puget
Sound Herald Of the date mentioned.
