Il Ed. STAKDARD:-In the fall of 1857.
I was advised by Bfr. 0ariielde TO entet
my land claim. i took his counsel, be-
lieving him then to bQ . man Of honor.
The 'ffnnl surveys had been made, and
then madc the necessary proof re.
quired to enter the land, and paid to
Mr.. Garfielde four hundred dollars, all
Of which had to be in United States
coin. He gave me receipt for the
same, saying at the. time that a receipt
was all I would get until my certificate
came on. I left the land Office rather
better in feeling, thinking my land was
now safe. ~ ''''-'' 't''''''
Time past on until June, 1860, when
I returned to Olympia from this place,
and learned from friend that the
books in the land Office did not Show
anything had been paid, or that I had
the least title Of any sort to my land.
Mr.. GarfieIdc was then absent from
Olympia, and I could not see him.
left the matter with Gen. w. w. Mil
Ter to settle; when Mr.. Garielde re.
turned to the office, and Mr.. Miller saw
him, -he had Mr.. Garfslds mako it
right by paying him (Gar6elde) fifty
cents, for SINAI! ffaction Of land that
came in the surveys, which required
10 CeItS W pay All ~. NAis 00tASiuo
then called on Mr.. William Wright,
and asked him for the receipt he had
given me in 1857; and gave Mr.. VS.
receipt, bearing date July, 1860, which
is the same in substance as the first,
except the last has forty-tive cents more
credited on it. '.,-e.....-,.-
Now, I ask the voters Of Washing
ton Territory, what can be expected Of
a man to represent then, in Congress,
who will deceive them in such bust
ness as I have. mentioned, and after
having the money for three years. Ito
use for purposes that I shall leave for
men who bought the steamship Consk-
tuition to say or think about as they
please then to refuse to sign the joint
certificate with the Register, which he
should have gave me in 81, unless he
had the extra As cents. I make the
above statement for the benefit of those
with whom / am acquainted, and all
others who may believe me, hoping
there has been sufficient said to defeat
Mr.. Garfielde on the 9th of July, when
we all have the privilege Of voting for
good men. '' '2l

result of men who are not controlled by an
|aristocratic form Of Government. As one
American said to us" 1t is enough to make
sinners weep and on their knees pray for the
salvation of our glorious country" Euro
pean papers which do not usually take much
notice of American affairs, are now crowded
with articles, couched in such language as
brings tears to the eyes of the true Ameri-
can, for he knows the oppressed millions Of
Europe arc locking with loving hearts to the
New World, as the home of the crushed and
down trodden.
We were touched by an account Of our
Consul here-who is one of the noblest speci-
mems of a man we have met in Europe-when
he received the American flag, the lady
where he was boarding kissed it and bade
her children do the same, while tears were
rolling down her cheeks. All if more OF
this feeling pervaded the hearts of our peo-
pie, civil war would not now be threatening
the noblest land on the globe.
Last evening in Cafe we met a number
of our countrymen, all lamenting that South
Carolina had been so headstrong, casting the
blame upon her and thinking our govern
ment ought to put down this spirit by armed
force-very doubtful policy. One of the
company was the American who made pill
grimage to Mecca and Medina, saw the tomb
of Mahomet, suspended as j: were by small
wires. but in reality magnets.
Another was a young tutor rom Geneva
College. n. Y, on his way to Athens to
study modern Greek. third was going to
Rome, others to Vienna and the Orient.
One young man is travelling with courier
who is seventy years Of age, and was with
Napoleon IN several of his battles At Wa
terloo he was wounded and lett for dead.
This American told me his expenses
amounted to fifteen or t,osnty dollars per day
and we conld but think that the Americans
and English are very foolish in spending 50
much money In Venice We live well enough
for fifty or sixty cents per day. Of course
we must take room in private family and
live at Restaurant, denying ourselves OF
may things. yet :. deny Mysey'' should be
