Olympia Correspondence.
OLYMPIA. Dec. Is. 1864


OLYMPIA, Dec 25, 1864
EDS. STATESMAN You have doubtless
become acquainted with the particulars of
the organization of the Legislature through
your exchanges. DR.. Henry was so disgust
ed with it that he left, to seek refuge in
"Abraham's bosom;" but on reaching Vic
tora, he was, it is said, arrested for debt
Wonder if Uncle Abe won't demand an
apology of His Majesty. The groanings of
the STANDARD over the political complexion
of the Assembly, are amusing.
The Specific Contract Law was introduced
in the House and passed on Friday-Mr.
Sexton voting for it, as did also every Dem
ocratic member The Ayes and Noes were
not called for; in consequence of which, l
subsequently, made a motion to reconsider
which will be done, Jan. 4th. The Stand
ard lashes Mr.. Sexton terribly, but whether
or not that gentleman will be whipped into
the traces remains to be seen. The bill
will pass the Legislature, easily, but the
Governor says he will hurl "Joycs' thun-
derbolt" at it when he gets hold Of it; and
as it will not obtain the two-thirds vote it
cannot become a law. Judge McFadden
opposes the bill, in the Council The Leg
islature being Democratic, the Governor
threatens to veto any and every measure
The Republican Central Committe met
here the 10th and selected Governor Pick
ering as their candidate for next Delegate
to Congress. The Territorial delegates are
to meet the 4th of April to ratify the sclec-
tion but as they are house divided
amongst themselves [ think they will fall.
The Standard walls terribly over the division.
A Charter to Incorporate the Washing
ton Railroad Company at the Cascades,
has passed the House, but its fate in the
Council is doubtful Also, bill to divide
Skamania county and attaching it to Clark
and Clickatat, passed the House and will 90
through. the Council Ferguson county is
attached to Stephens. N 5Lo osl
The bill assigning the Judges to their re-
spective districts, has passed, which gives
us Wyche .
A bnl locating the Agricultural College
in Clark county has passed both Houses;
but its fate in the Governors hands is
doubtful
Both Houses adjourned rthe Holidays
and a Select Committee was appointed to
visit the University and investigate its af-
fairs, which are said to be badly mixed up
to say nothing of the swindHng in regard
to it. Langford Brown, and Sexton Of our
county, and Sohns, of Clark, are on the
Committee. The affairs will be thoroughly
investigated.
The Auditors Report is just published;
also Reports. of the Territorial officers You
will see by them that the Finances are in a
bad condition. think the Committee Of
Ways and Means will report revenue bill
increasing taxes to meet expenses, at least
There has been no apportiOnment bill pre-
sented yet, and l think there will be no
change this session.

THIEVES. The city watchman have re-
Gently been kept constantly on the quj Uive
for thieves The town and vicinity is said
to be infested by this class of gentry. Sew
eral attempts have been made by them
within the past two months to break open
houses, but thus far they haye been foied,
and have failed to get hold of anything ex-
cept few articles that have been left out
O. nights AS the watchmen cannot be ev-
erywhere present, it would be well for those
having articles that the thieving fraternity
would be likely to covet, to keep close
watch upon them themselves

Our OF DERIVE are told by those
who know that the city will be out, or near
ly out, of debt by the end of the present
''municipal year" This being the case, we
may expect to see sundry much needed i'm
provements made next year-amongst others,
the grading and graveling of Main street.
The city has been so involved in debt during
the past two years that it has been impossi-
BILE for the authorities to do more than they
have done in the way of improvements. The
present board of COuncilmen have conducted
the city government upon the most ecOnom-
ical plan and have thus far met with gen
eral appreciation.

THE SPECIAL TAX.-Thc special tax
which the City Council of Walla Walla has
been authorized to levy is for the purpose Of
building an Engine House This is tax
which every citizen interested ia the securi-
ty of the town against fire will cheerfully
pay. The place in which the Engine has
been kept is little better than no house at all,
and if kept there much longer, it would from
exposure to the weather, be rendered entire
ly useless The Fire Company, (who alone
have seemed to take proper interest in the
preservation of the engiDe) seeing the ina
bility of the City Government to assist them
in building an engine house, and having ex-
bausted all other expedients to raise the
funds for that purpose, requested Mr. Brown,
previous to his departure for the Legisla-
ture, to procure the passage of a special tax
bill, and it is in obedience to that request that
the bill has been passed. The funds that
have been raised by the company heretofore,
by balls, dues &C., have been mainly EN-
ployed in paying a balance of Indebtedness
upon the purchase of the engine, the buying
of lot and building the "apology for a
house" in which the engine is kept, the pur-
chase of new hose, and defraying the ex-
penses of keeping the engine in order.

: SOCIAL PARTY. The event of the week
to party-goers, was a social party given by
Mr.. and Mrs VIM. Phillips, at their resi-
dence, on Tuesday evening. Some thirty
odd couples of ladies and gentlemen were
in attendance and passed the night merrily
dancing in the ballroom and discussing an
excellent supper in the dining-rOom.

REwAhD.-We are told by Deputy Sheriff Sci
tel that a reward of $500 in coin has been offer
ed for the capture of Geo. H. Porter ever since
his escape. The officers in the various direc-
tiOns in which it was supposed hewouId 60 were
Immediately apprized of it, and it was thought
the surer way to catch him would be to not pub
lish the reward too extensively, thus giving him
a notice that would induce him to travel more
secretly. 1t is not improbable that he will yet
be captured.
LECTURE AND ExhIBITIoN.-Prof L. Carey
will give lectures on astronomy and exhibitions
with Phantasmagoria Reflector, at the Masonic
Hall, on Monday and Tuesday evenings next.

while under the influence ofliquor, went to
the French restaurant at the lower end of
town on Friday night last, and demanded
Admittance. The proprietor went to the
door and told him he had closed his house
for the night and could not admit him. This
was repeated twice, when Posey broke one
of the panes of glass in the door, and as the
proprietor started again to tell him to leave,
he thrust revolver through the broken
pane and fred into the room, the ball from
the pistol passing through the proprietor's
clothes and grazing his flesh. The watch
men were promptly on the ground but Po-
sey had made his escape They have since
learned that he is on the Walla Walla, just
across the Oregon line, where they cannot
at present pursue him.
