A Defense of Poor Lot
WALLULA, August 81, l

WALLULA, August 81, 1867
EDITOR SrATEsMAN:-I notice in your issue of
3Oth inst, that you give the poor "Lo" fits.
This may be all very well. l am no particular
friend to that class of our "fellow citizens
still, am always ready and willing to give the
"devil his due" You mention some stock hav-
ing been run off the Touchet BY the red skins /;
this too, may be true, but from the owner of
some stock that was run off the Touchet, hear
different story. About the first of this month,
Johuy Hern lost one sorrel horse and an old
mule, from John Manion's place, on the Toucdet.
There is no doubt about their being stolen, for
be has looked the country over and thus far has
failed to find them. Who stole them is The
question. Last Wednesday the same man
Johny Hern-had thirteen head of mules run off
from his camp, which is about four miles below
Manion's, on the Touchet. The animals were
taken about daylight; the herder started on their
trail, and before he had gone three miles be met
nine of the number on their way back to camp !;
be pushed on after the other four, and soon came
upon their tracks, and the track of a horse be
.
between Tom Lees and Joe. Hancock's places 4;
here be came upon the man and the animals he
had driven them into a field and was trying to
catch one of the mules, so he would have fresh
animal to ride. Both parties saw each other
about the same time and the thief mounted his
jaded steed and left The man in pursuit not be-
ing armed, did not follow the thief, but took the
mules back to camp. This mule thief was q
iOhite man, and it is my opinion there are more
rhite horse thieves roaming about the Valley
than red ones. 1t almost invariably occurs, that
when there is q kind of an Indian scare on, that
cutus white men stand ready to commit all
kinds Of depredatiOns, and then cry Indians
Indians roaming at large are bad enough, will
admit, but, my knowledge of them assures me,
that would prefer trusting to them, in many
particulars, than to some white men. When the
Indians about Wallula or Snake river find q
stray mule or horse, they bring him into town,
aud exhibit him. No longer ago than last week,
was enabled, through Indians, to return to the
owner a valuable mare that had gone astray
from the Touchet, above Waitsburg. The Indi-
ans brought her in and parties here knew the
animal | wrote to the parties, and last Sunday
she was sent for and taken home. Now, where
is the white man that would have done more
than these Iudiaus7 The facts in the case, about
the Indian hostilities in our immediate section
of country, is simply this Designing white men
are annoying the Indians more than the Indians
are annoying the whites, all for a purpose, and
that purpose is to get hold of the Umatilla Res
ervation. The eneroachments made upon them
there, causes them to be embittersd against the
whites, but MOTTO the amount of open war-they
have more sense than that The same bitterness
exists with the Nez Perces, on account Of the
shameful treatment Of the United States, in the
non-ful6llment Of their promises and solemn
treaties, CUnrux.

Another Victim.

PORTLAND, August 30, 1867.
EDITOR STATESMAN If your columns are not
already crowded with complimentary notices Or
the late Hon. S. B. Fargo, may I ask use of a
small space, for the further discussion of the
merits offs distinguished character. The en-,
closed receipt for $50 will demonstrate to Won
the amount of my faith "to be returned imme-
diately on my return to Walla Walla." Must 7
mourn over fallen greatness, or shall take the
view of that worthy old lady in "Paul Clifford, -
Mrs. Margery Lobkins, more familiarly called
Peggy Lob" in her admonitions to her young
est, "Leetle Paul., she says "Mind thy kitty
chism, child, and reverence old age; never
steal specially when any one be in the way.
Be modest, Paul, and stick to your sitvation in
life. Read your bible, and talk like pious nm
People goes by your toords more than by your
actions. If you wants what is not your own, try
and do. without it, and, If you can not do with ,
out it. take it away by insinivaton, not bluster
they as swindles does more and risks less than
they as robs." Can it be possible that the veri-
table Paul has turned up in the person of S. B.
Fargo2 Is it true, that gentleman in whom |
placed so much confidence, has turned Paul on
me and others Nay ! not hope that the present
| cloud, obscuriug the fair fame of s. B. F., will
soon disappear, that his return will silence all
detraeton, and prove himself Goods noblest and
rarest work, an honest man." Shall we not
throw over him the mantle of charity, which,
like the quality Of mercy, sis not strained. II
droppeth as the gentle rain from Heaven upon
the place beneath it is twice blessed It bless
eth him that gives, and him that takes" To my
fellow sufferer | offer my sincere condolences,
reminding them that, "Man 8 inhumanity to mar,
makes countless thousands mourn"

A DEAL Too SHARP.-On Wednesday evening,
Messrs. ]. ]. Dooley and c. H. Smith, the Q. s.
Internal Revenue officers of this district took
possession of the large liquor cellar of John Cla-
resy, of the Miners Saloon of this city. 1t seems
that Mr.. Claresy went before the Board of EQUAL
ization on that day, and made application to
have his assessment as made by Assessor and
Collector Frank B. Britten officially, reduced
about 81 300. To convince the Board that this
reduction ought to be made, Claresy made state
ment, on oath, that while be did have stored in
his cellar good qualities of wines and liquors
be manufactured himself good deal of the stuff
which he sold as liquor at the bar, and that this
stuff did not cost him above one dollar a gallon.
He further stated that when gentlemen drank at
his bar be gave them the good liquor, but to the
Irish who came to drink he dealt out the manu-
factured stuff. As Mr. Claresy, in giving his
sworn return to the U. S. Internal Revenue As>
SCISSOR, bad not included the mandatory of lu.
uors, the officers of that department, on learning
what Claresy had sworn to before the Board of
Equalization, at once proceeded to apply the law
to his peculiar case They first seized his liquor
cellar, and subsequently admitted Claresy to
bonds in the sum Of nearly four thousand dol
lars, to answer the complaint they have entered
against him before the next term of the U. S.
Court for the Territory, in this District. The act
ofClaresy, in involving himself to the (probablel
tune OF thousands of dollars, in order to get re-
lease from the payment to the county of thirty or
forty dollars taxes, is one of the character which
should teach men how to look before they leap

INDIAN AFFAIRS. = Sylvester Nowry, an old
Indian fighter and gallant soldier, has written q
letter in which he ably and eIhAuStiveIy discus
ses the Indian question. In his judgment, the
first thing to oe done toward solving the Indian
problem, is to '' transfer the Indian Bureau to
the War Department" The vast amount Of mo.
ney used by the Hobby' in Congress last session
to prevent this transfer, proves not only that in
its present condition it is immensely lucrative to
those inside, but also that as political engine
it is all-powerfu in the frontier States and Ter
ritories, and in Washington. The experience of
every officer who has commanded troops in the
Indian country who has no object but honestly
doing his duty, proves the utter vileness, the
incompetence of the present system to secure
the desired end. The Indian is essentially with
out faith, mercy, honor, or decency, and the
attempt to civilize him has uniformly failed. The
conclusion at which Mr.. N. arrives ia, that the
Indians should first be thoroughly subdued, and
then restricted to certain limits, on the penalty
of death if found outside. Thus restrained, like
the scorpion girt by FIRE, they would sting them.
selves to death, and the world wOuld soon be
rid of an accursed race The frontier axiom,
that there is but one good Indian, and be a
dead one, would then be realized.

HIDDEN SPARKS OF vIRTUE.-There are
few cases in which we have ground to con-
clude that all goodness is lost. AT the bottom
of the character there may lie some sparks
ofpiety and virtue, suppressed; but not extin-

from reflection, may, on the first favorable

NORTHERN lDAHo.-We learn that petitions are
being circulated in Northern Idaho, and numer>
ously signed, asking the annexation of that part
ofthe national domain to Washington Territory
The people Of that section of country are a unit
in favor of the measure, and there is every rea :
son to believe that Congress will readily accede
to their wishes. Between Northern and Southern
Idaho there is scarcely any identity either of
interest or feeling, and hence the desire on the
part of our northern neighbors to be annexed to
Washington Territory. The rapid growth Of our
Territory both in population and wealth gives
reason to believe that in year or two we shall
be in a position to ask admission into the Union
as a State The time has come when our legis-
lation and policy should all be shaped with a
view to our assuming the duties and responsi>
blities that pertain to a State government. In
this regard we are far ahead of Idaho, the pops
uation of that Territory being on the wane
rather than the inJease. Indeed, in all that
relates to permanent population and solid wealth
we are already far in advance of Nevada, and
might even now have our two Senators and a
Representative in Congress. We by no means,
however, favor the hot-growth of States, aud
and prefer to remain in the condition of Terri
torial puplage until such time as our wealth
and population shall be sufficient to enable us
to support State government without the i'm
position of onerous taxes. Looking, then, to
the convenience of our northera neighbors, and
recognizing that this accession of territory and
population will hasten our admission into the
Union, we decidedly favor the proposed anueKA.
ton of Northern Idaho, snd trust that Con-
gress at the next session will give its assent to
the measure.
