in summer without ice, the plan recon-
ended by that cxcellentand useful pub

the plate of butter; fill the saucer with
water; turn common howcr-pot up
side down over tho butter, SO that It's
edge shall be within the saucer and un-
der the water plug the tlowcr-pot with
a cork, then drench the flower pot with
water; set it in cool place until morn
ing, or if done at breakfast, the butter
will be very hard by supper time.

INDIAN OuTBREAK.-Thc Portland
4Z.-.A--- -, Aee sta 44H4fs: ats5;
nights boat we learn that Il rumor had
reached the Dallcst to the effect that the
Indians upon the Warm Springs Res
crvation had broken out in hostility
against the whites, and killed Il man
named George Runncls, better known
us "Cayusc George" Great excite
ment was caused by the report, among
the settlers along the Umatilla and Ty-
hcc rivers and other settled portions of
the country east of the Cascades. Many
of the settlers have moved into the
Dallcs, and even at that point there is
considerable excitement. We also
learn that Indian Agent Cain of the
Ncz Pcrccs Reservation, had sent an
express to Major Stecn at Walla Walla,
notifying him that party of miners
had located themselves within the Res
crvation boundaries, and refused to
leave. lie required military aid to
drive them off: Major Stccn immedi-
atcly dispatched an express to the par
ty of miners, ordering them to leave
within a limited time, and subsequently
dispatched one hundred Dragons to
enforce his orders.
Later dates contradict the death Of
Runncls, but corrobo1tc the news OF
an outbreak.

The Capitol Question.

The question OF the removal of the
Capitol from Olympia to some Other
portion of the Territory was agitatcd at
the last session of the Legislature, and
as we had hoped the question was at
rest AS all things arc subject to q
ch:. ., we see that this is no exception
to the rule. AS will appear in the pro.
cccdings of the Legislature reported in
another column of the paper bill has
passed both Houses removing the Cap.
itol from Olympia to Vancouver, and
another to remove the Pcnitcntiary
irom Vancouver to Port Townsend.
The question of the policy of this act.
Of the Legislature. as matter Of course
will be reviewed according to the inter-
csts of different localities. We had al
ways supposed that Olympia was as
centrally located as any place in the
Territory. The question of the cxpcn-
diturc of the public money in this
place, or that ought not, and we trust
has not had amy influence in the case.
If such question could have intlu-
cnccd the minds of communities, and
thereby bcgct spirit of rivalry amount
ing to Il deisrc of cxtin, on Cf any one
locality, we are surprised that it has not
heretofore displayed itself intlle cxpcn-
diturc of money by the location of mil
itary posts at Vancouver, Stcilacoom
and Port Townsend. No such feeling
has ever been exhibited by any portion
of the people in any locality in this
Territory. by the report OF the pro-
ccctinYs it will he seen that the men,
hcrs OF the House and Council from
Port Townsend voted to effect this
change. AT this we are surprised from
the fact that we had understood they
were specially instructed to vote against
the removal of the Capitol to any other
place than to Port Townsend: and
from the further fact that the rcncyuJh
member of the Council from that place
had volunteered the solemn assurance
to several respectable gentlemen from
different localities, that he s!onlI vote
under ho circumstances to re.uovc the
Capitol unless it could be located at
Port Townsend.
If thcqucstion can be considered to as
sumo any political character, it will he
seen that every Republican member of
the House voted against the removal, as
also did many Democrats. Both bills
passed both Houses the same day, and
whether by Il rreconccrted plan or not,
it woul seem to be too haSty lcgisla-
lation on SO important Il question, and
one so materially affecting the general
public interests.

THE RESULT.

We have returns from all but four counties,
and Gov. Ellis has majority of 5,743. Of the
four counties to be heard from, Hyde and Watau-
Cherokee and Polk democratic majority of 162.
The democratic majority in the Legislature, on
joint ballot, is about thrty-two.
The reelection of Gov Ellis and the success of
the democratic party in carrying the Legislature
in the late election proves not only that majority
Of the people of the State opposed to the agta
ton of the tax question, fused by the opposition
with the hope of overthrowing the democracy
but establishes another fact, that North Carolina
is for Breckinri1ge and Lane Gov. Ellis took
bold stand for Breckenridge and defended his
nomination as right and proper, and the people
have endorsed him. Not only so, but every demo-
crat elected to the Legislature (if there any
exceptions we have not heard of them) declared
for Breckenridge and Lane while the only demo-
crat who openly declared for Douglas, where there
was a chance for the election of democrat, was
defeated-we allude to d. K McRae, ESQ, of
Craven Though Mr. McRae is a man of more
than ordinary ability, the democratic people of his
county refused to endorse his Douglas proclivites-
The fact is, it great mistake to suppose
that the people of North Carolina preferred Doug
las nomination. few politicians may have done
SO, but the of the people preferred some one
else and open declaration of the rights of the
South. If the n. G. delegation had submitted to
the nomination of Douglas at Baltimore, and the
unfair and yrannica course pursued by his friends
the democratic party ofthis State would have been
almost annihated, and we should have lost the
Governor Legislature and everything. Verify,
the course of the North Carolina delegation did
much to save the State.
