FEARFUL EXPLOSION At PORT MADISON
Five Men Killed and one Wounded

From the Port Townsend Register, March 20.
Through the politeness of Capt Fleming,
of the steamer anderson, we have been pre-
sented with the following account of the ex
plosion in the steam saw mill at Port Madi-
son, belonging to G. A. Meiggs
"Meiggs steam saw mill at Port Madi-
son, exploded her boiler at o'clock, A. NJ,
this morning, Feb. Is, and made a com
pIetc wreck Of the machinery and mill.
The following persons were killed
"Thos. Leans, Farmer, Seattle; VIM.
Roach, Engineer, ireland John Morton,
Lumberman; VIM. Thompson, Lumberman,
German Charles Sprecht Oregon; Fred
erick Baker, Sawyer, wounded.
The accident occurred at an hour when
there were but few persons employed. Had
it happened an hour later, no doubt, but
twenty others would have been killed The
cause of the explosion was want Of water in
the boilers. There were six boilers, two Of
which were completely ruined The wreck
was being cleared away. and the mill would
resume work in few days" i.4

Ar IT AGATN.-The California Legisla-
ture, as q recreation from its political Jug
Cling, turns its attention to robbiDg our
people again. Their Infamous passport sys-
TEN levied on our citizens passing through
that State, to the amount OF six dollars
per capita, having been declared unconstitu-
tional, an attempt has been made to impose
tax on our lumber merchants, by the ap-
peintment of Lumber Inspector, who is
to charge 60 cents per 1000 feet for meas
uring-notwithstanding our merchants in
dignantly protest against it, and say that
there is not the least want of such an Off
Ger. The merchant and consumer have no
trouble agreeing now, on measurements; the
tariff on which only amounts, necessarily, to
10 or 10 cents per thousand.

Onr Mails.

The manner our mail service between here
and Portland is performed is deserving Of
the severest censure, as an entire and will
ful violation of the law which declares that
tine mail shall come through six times q
week, by a schedule Of 36 hours from Port
land TO this place; instead of which, we
rarely receive it under As hours, not unfre-
quenily 70 hours, aud occasionally 96 hours.
We are able, we think, to exonerate Mr..
Wiusor from oil blame in the matter, ex-
cept that we are not certain l0hO gets our
mail so wet as to frequently ruin our news
papers for reading and files, and our maga-
zines for binding The Portland post Office
is also shamefully negligent Of its duties.
4 gentleman who assists in distributing our
mails, tells US that he inds, sometimes, mail
matter sent here marked for Astoria, Dalles,
Portland, &c. Probably our mail starts
of to Walla Walla, and so the mail bags
go, dancing quadrille all over the Terri
tory.

THE Laws OF s60-'6l.-We have been
enabled this week to place in the hands Of
Gov. McGiIl, three hundred copies of the
Session Laws" of our late Legislative
Assembly. We have also furnished copies
to our press, for their convenience. Ever
since the manuscript has been ia our hands,
large and competent force have been dill
gently and faithfully at work, even at night,
getting them up, and owing to their con-
stanf, unceasing labor, we are egabled to
lay them before the people in excellent
style, sooner we believe than they have
ever been furnished previously. A pains
taking cndeavor has been made to produce
them in creditable style, and whatever is
lacking in appearance, is accounted for by
the fact that there we're several articles we
were unable 10 procure at such q distance
from San Francisco. Besides this, there
is large amount Of work done on the
journals. 6We regret that the Legislature
neglected to make provision for the publ.
cation of greater number, as the addi-
tional expense would have been compara-
lively small-Only that of material-and
six hundred copies is too small a number
for twelve Thousand people. There should
have been twice that number ordered. All
the work on these laws was done in Olym-
piu. Gov. McGill has forwarded laws to
all the counties, and many to.the different
members. We will have the balance ready
for distribution next week.

PIONEER AND DEMOCRAT OLYMPIA W. \, MARCH g. 1861
Our IrrspressibIe Conflict.

Our legal friend in the Vancouver Chron-
icle, has again leapt into the newspaper
arena. This time, with visor down, the
champion wears the mysterious name of
"A Northcr," being probably an abbrevia-
ton for another" thereby insinuating
that there is more than one Richmond in
the feld. Step out Judge, you can't hide.
This time you quote Supreme Court De
cisions, when, in our opinion, you had better
severely let them alone. Special pleading
is your forte, but when it comes to equity,
to law, to common sense, you are in the
vocative. Now why don't you gire the
substance of the authority you profess to
quote, instead of affirming that the case
quoted decides our controversy. The syl-
labus of the case you bring recites that it
is a land case under law passed by Ken
tucky, 18th December, 1900. Incidentally,
the informality of the law is brought up.
The law reads Whereas, by the law
now in force in this commonwealth, aliens
cannot hold lands therein; and whereas,
it is considered the true intent Of this State
that such prohibition be done away.
Be il therefore eHaeted, 3-e.," and this is
the law, with an snacting clause, that you
cite to prove that statute t0ithoa one is
legal. Do you sec how you are caught in
your own trap? Don't try to prove toe
much next time.
Now let us tell yen what was incident
ally decided in reference to this law, about
the Legality Of this enactment. 1t was
ihis-in the language of G. ]. Thomson;
"The preamble in the act may be resored
to to aid in the construction of The enactiRs
clause, where any ambiguity exists"
Thus yon see the question in dispute wa,
the preamble.
And now, while we are about it, as you
make an insinuation about the printers eye
alone discovering that the bill was void
let US settle in full. BY your course here
last winter in trying to pass this bill by
outside lobbying, your interference lost you
the esteem that your position should com
mand; and that esteem is not heightened
by the fact that you ore passing an opin
ion in the newspapers beforehand on ques
tion that may come up before you judi
cially.
We have an unWritten history of tn,
passage of that bill, which would astound
with its corruption, the people of the Ter
ritory.
The original act is in The handwriting O
Jasper w. johnson, Esq, the assistant
clerk of the House, and the Hon. Speaker
should have known what he signed, instead
of making silly charge against u.s. The
bill is exactly as he signed it.

Nez Perces Chief, in the village yesterday.
He has posted up notice, offering 10
