CHARGES AGAINST FEDERAL OFFICIALS.

! The Overland Press. of the goth of April, con.
tans series of allegations in regard to certain o
the Olympia officials, which l condense to the fol-
lowing:
| First:-The Foreman of the Grand Jury which
indicted Howe for manslaughter was candidate
for Public Printer last winter. He proffered, in
case he was elected, to establish an anti Admin
stration paper at Olympia, and during the whole
time was cheek-bygowl with the Old Henry
Clique.
Second For his services in plastering ovel
the Kendall murder he is appointed an Assistant
Collector of Internal Revenue
Third The Collector of Internal Revenue
Goldsborough, lives in Victoria, and swears to the
vouchers for his salary an Inspector Of Customs
at Colyille.
Fourth The Indian Superintendent few
months since received $4,000 from the Sub.
Treasurer at San Francisco, of which $1,000 on
y was in Legal Tender Notes. Afterwards the
money was paid ou; half in Legal Tender notes
and half in gold.
Sixth: :-'Stumpage gold has been transmitted
into greenbacks, and paid to the members of the
Legislature.
Seventh The University lands have been il
legally sold, and when Col. Wallace wanted to
inform the public that they were being swnded,
in purchasing these lands, the youthful dodgers
/ "NNAANt
Eighth The Vancouver Union Convention is
got up solely to place candidate in the field to
represent the Oid Henry clique.
THE VANCOUVER CONVENTION.
Among the names of those who signed the
call for the Vancouver convention, you will rec
ognize those of many who are candidates for the
Delegateship; including that of the "sagacious
old gentleman, g. H.. and many others Of EQUAL
pretensions. Year after year, the claims of
these men to an important office have been can-
vassed, end as often have they been dropped by
the peOpe-weighed in the balance and found
wanting. For all this they continue to thrust
their impogtunSte noses into matters for which
they have no talent and claim to be candidates
for an office which the people do not desire them
to fill. Knowing. as do, that the capcity Of
mos, of these people is scarcely beyond that of a
country School-teacher-if it is as good on an
avel age-I am surprised that no one has ever vet
taken up the cudgels to bang the political vitality
out of these wind-bags. l nope you will make it
your business to do so in the coming canvass for
delegate. l adjure you to lay on an spare-not
while one Of them CARES to vent his foolish chat
ter.
If the people of Walla Walla, Spokane, Gil
katat, and Skamania, will be true to themselves
in the coming canvass, the Vancouver nominee of
the O!d Henry clique will be defeated, and the
people west Of the CascaGes may he relied upon
to assist IN the good works for Old Henry and
his famIliars are looked upon, even at Olympia,
as mere "scabs" on the body polite
THE IDAHO TERRITORIAL OFFICIALS.
I am informed by letter from Washington
that Col. Wallace Will assume the Governorship
Of Idaho, soon as his meersehaum is satisfacto-
rily coored
The Oregonian says that a. c. Smith, Asso-
ciate Justice, is a humbug, and has no more le-
galknowledge than his father-in-law Gold Henry
has honesty
Richard Williams, the District Attorney, it is
thought will decline the appointment He prob
ably remembers that honest dog Tray got into
bad way by associating with dishonest dogs, and
intends to avoid all connection with the Olym-
pia lepers.
LELAND's MAP OF THE GOLD DISTRICT.
Your remarks about Leland map of the gold
district are generally approved here. Many of
our citizens have been inveigItd into sending
goods by the Lewiston Boise route, to their great
pecuniary detriment HIS map is a distortion of
the geographical features Of the country, but
bears the same resemblance to its real geogra-
ply that caricature does to truth.
