TERRIBLE SHOOTING AFFRAY.-A shoot
ing affray took place at Cave Gulch, few
days since, between j. NJ. Sigler and Wm.
N. Dufee, an Irisbman, formerly resident of
Helena, in which both parties, received mortal
wounds. The cause of this bloody altercat-
ion, as reported to US by a citizen of Cave
was quarrel between Dufee and Sigler in
reference to sum of money (sOme SlG)
which the Irishman claimed Sigler owed
him. This was denied by Sigler, who claimed
that he had paid Dufee's partner the money,
and had receipt at his cabin to show for
it. This assertion was fatty denied BY
Duffee, who, at the same time, drew re.
Volver out of his pocket, and, with the Wea'
pom cooked and pointed at the head Of
Sigler, drove him from Crapo's saloon across
the road to Frazier's store, where, threaten,
ing his life, he compelled Sigler to weigh
out the amount, SIG, claimed as the Irish'
mans due. Sigler protested against this
forciblc robbery, went to his cabin on the
gulch, armed himself with a revolver, and
thus equipped and with the receipt showing
the payment of the debt in his possession,
returned to Frazier's store, where he showed
the paper. Duffee, who in the meantime
had left, was soon seen returning in the
direction of the store. Sigler, excited and
angered by the treatment he had received
from Dufee, stood outside of the store,
watching the coming of the Irishman, who
came staggering along, carrying his revO-
yer, cooked, in his hand, and as soon as he
arrived at the store, and when only few
feet distance from Sigler, almost simultaneous
shots rang out on the air. Dufee-whO re-
ceiVed two shots, one breaking an arm and
another penetrating vital part of the body
fell to the ground, and while down fred
a shot which took effect on Sigler, striking
him in the breast, in the region of the heart
Sigler walked into the store, and setting
down in a chair, pulled up his shirt to exam
inc the extent of his wound, while DuHee
was taken in charge by friends, and carried
away for surgical treatment. Duffee lived
about thirty minutes after receiving the
fatal shot, and Sgler survived his wound
only about one hour and half Sigler will
be remembered by our readers as particiPa'
tor in the afray at Cave Gulch last winter,
in which four of the number engaged were
killed outright. He is reported to have
been temperate, and, Notwithstanding the
difficulties in which he has been prominen,,
tly connected, was generally inofensiTe ana
well disposed toward everybody. Duhee =

The MAILs.-Our Washington correspondent
writing under date of August 3lst, says the at
tsntion of the Post Office Department has been
called to the manner in which the mails are
carried between Walla Walla and Portland The
contractor on the route will at once be called to
account, aud such measures taken as will secure
to our people the mail facilities to which they
are entitled. In this connection we have to add
that there is no improvement on the route in
question. The little dog,cart arrangement is
still continued, and the mails get through in
from two to three days behind schedule time.
The newspaper mail that reached Portland by
steamer on Tuesday of last week, did not arrive
at Walla Walla until Saturday night and then
onlyA portion Of it, the balance coming through
by driblets. So far as news is concerned, the
mail is entirely useless, and were it not for the
Express, as general thing, we would have Eas-
tern dates in advance of our California e1chan-
ges We trust, as our correspondent says, that
the Department will look this matter up, and
take measures to have the mail carried in such
manner as TO make it apublie accommodation.

WOMEN LABoRERs-Col. Forney tells us that
one of the worst features of the social condition
ofGermany is the sight of so many women labor
ing in the fields. "All around the resorts of the
nobility, droves of women are seen at work in
the felds-young women, with old faces and
hard hands, and old women, bent almott double
with toll and burden. bearing. And some of them
looked as rough and as rude as the peasant men
themselves. The difference between them and
their gay European sisters at the gaming-table
was very great indeed but it was consoling to
think how both differed from the women of the
two extremes of American society. An Amer-
can lady at gaming-table would be sight as
revolving as an American woman doing the field
work for the men-wheelng manure, unloading
cars, following the plough, and carrying loads
upon the head and shoulders"

USELESS LAws.-It is quite amusing to note
the attempts of law makers to try to force things
into given channel, or to compel the natural
law that govern everything to give away to their
hobbies. The Constitution of New York, made
in 1916, forbade the suspension of specie pay
ments in the State. But of what value was it 2
The people that adopted the Constitution and
this provision paid no attention to it whenever
pinch came. In this way the people are taught
to disregard laws when it is inconvenient to obey
them. There was no need of any such provision (;
for, of course, when money was plenty, specie
could be paid as well as anything and when
scarcity occurred, and specie could not be OBJ
tanned, something else must answer. The folly
of making laws that cannot be kept is so COM
mon, it ought to be frowned down.

PARsoN BRowNLow.-Here is what a gentle
Memphis editor says of the mild-mannered
Brownlow: "Hs lips are redolent with guile
a deadly, putrescent odor e1haleS from his
tongue, which is set on FIRE of hell. Low, sensual
and devilsh be is a walking photograph of the
devil. His Infamous bosom is the abiding place
of such restless, fiery and 'corrodng pasSisns
that If his bones were of iron and his flesh Btass
they would ignite and burn by spontaneous CONS
buston. He is more Of a cynic than Diogenes,
more of tyrant than Caligula, more of iend
than Nero, more of a beast than Butler"
, 1867-09-20

NEUTRAL PAPER.-Our friend StruYe, OF the
Vancouver Register in retiring from the editorial
tripod, very truthfully prOnOunces strictly
neutral paper confounded humbug." To which
he might have added that men who understand
the newspaper business never attempt to "humN
bug the public in this way. 1t by no means
follows that a paper to be useful must be parti-
san. On the contrary, the ablest and most use
full papers the world over are those that main
tain strict independence, and aim to become
the tribunes of the people rather than the mere
mouth-pieces of party. The London Times, a
paper that belongs to no party and yet is feared
by all parties, is perhaps the most brilliant
illustration Of this class of journals. On the
Pacific coast we have the Sacramento Union and
S. F. Bulletin, both thoroughly independent
papers, welding the widest influence. Indeed, it
is not too much to say that the late revolution
in California politics is mainly to be attributed
to the influence Of these two papers. Independ-
ent of all parties, these papers were in posi-
tion to rebuke the corruption that had crept into
the Union organization, and through the expos>
ures thus made the people were induced to turn
their backs upon party whose leaders had at.
tempted to auction off the highest Offices in the
State. A Anewspaper thoroughly independent and
entirely fearless is an acquisition to any commu-
nifty and can render a service altogether beyond
the reach of the mere partisan journal The
one is outspoken and free, the other is the organ
Of faction, compelled to " blow hot or blow
cold as its masters dictate. The highest mis-,
sion of the press is to champion the rights of
the people, and this duty can best be discharged
by an independent paper.

LEGAL TENDERS. = Treasury notes obtained
very general currency for the reason that BY
act of Congress they were made a legal tender
in the payment of all debts public or private.
Without this provision, in face of the well known
repuguancy of our people to paper money, it is
quite certain that these notes never could have
gained any thing like a general circulation on
the Pacific coast. This feature, however, gave
them a specific value, and hence they readily
passed from hand to hsnd. We are led to these
remarks in view of the fact that notes issued
by the National Banks are rapidly superceding
the legitimate Government issues Most persons
take these National Bank notes under the i'm
preston that they are just as good as illegal
tenders" This is a mistake, as can be seen by
reference to the inscription on the back OF the
notes The fact is they are not illegal tender''
for any thing, and can only be used in the set
tlement Of debts by the consent of parties. The
sole advantage these notes have over the wild
cat" currency that cursed the Western country
a few years since is, that they are secured BY
deposit of Government bonds, and that in the
event OF the Bank elsOA Z" Nv
lay of year or two, will receive "legal tens
der" notes in lieu of his worthless National
Bank issues. If we must have paper money, let
US give the preference to the illegal tenders,
and thus avoid the use of notes issued by Banks
that are liable to fail at any time and involve
the holders of their notes in temporary if not
permanent loss. If these Banks were located in
our midst and the profits Injured to our local
advantage, there would be a plausible reason
for encouraging the use of a currency of doubt
ful value, but when it is borne in mind that
these notes are all poured in on US from abroad,
we think that there is abundant justification for
discountenancng the whole system. We take
up a package of these National Bank notes and
examine them at random The first in the lot
halls from "New Canaan, Connecticut" but
who can tell US whether this modern Canaan is
a "land flowing with milk and honey or in
the event of the Bank failing, how long we shall
have to wait for our money? Next is a note
issued by the "First National Bank of Freeport,
Illinois" locality of which we are ignorant,
but which certainly is under no obligation to
furnish us with circulating medium. And so
we might run through with the list and show
that these notes hail from all points of the COM
pass, and thatthey are issued by Banks of whose
solvency or insolvency we know nothing 1t is
proper that the people should understand that
these National Bank notes are issued altogether
as a matter of private speculation aud that the
ho1I talya tha oh Cft ha RanE fail no
and with the failure the certainty of having to
wait a year or two for his money.

PosT-oFFIcE DEPARTMENT.

This department is daily in receipt of large
numbers of complaints from residents of Idaho,
Washington, and other western Territories, in
relation to the newspaper mail. 1t appears that
at the last session of Congress the postage on
papers by the overland route, was increased to
the same rate as of that on letters. 1t is appar-
ent from the tenor of the complaints, that this
is working great hardship on the people oi
your section of the country. The department is
unable to do anything, save call the attention oil
Congress to the fact al its next session.
