FAcTIous.-We notice by the report, as
published 10 the Register, that the delegates
from Clark county refused to endorse the
nomination of Frank Clarke, as the demo-
cratic candidate. aud generally exhibited a
factiOus disposition. We think that if any
section had a right to complain it was the
people of WAlla WAlla, and yet we are pleased
TO notice that the delegates from this Valley
cordially endorsed the nomination, and pied
ged Mr.. Clarke their warm and earnest sup
port. In this course, they faithfully re-
Aected the sentiment of their constituents,
and set an example that the people of Clark
county would do we'll to initiate.

TEE UNION CoNvENTIoN.-Else
We give place to a full report of the pro-
ceedings Of the Union Territorial Convenl
ton. The nomination of Alvan Flanders.
of Wala Walla, being unexpected, took our
people BY surprise. The surprise over, it is
fair to say that the nomination is received
BY members of his own party with favor,
and that his opponents concede him the
merit OF being high,tOned, manly advsr,
Sary. The nominee has figured but little in
the politics of this Territory, but years ago
We recollect him in San Francisco as lead,
ing republican, and a man who was honored
BY those Of his own political faith. For
two terms, if we mistake not, Mr.. Flanders
represented San Francisco in the California
Legislature, in which position be achieved
considerable reputation, and discharged his
duties To the satisfaction of bis constituents.
Subsequently Mr. Flanders held one or two
positions under the Federal Government.
In 1868 be removed to Washington Terri>
tory, and from that date to this has been en-
gagged in merchandising at Wallula. As a
speaker, Mr.. F. is quite fluent, and demo-
Gratis who have heard him, cay that be will
make an able canvass. Thus much in Justice
to political opponent, who has been Sc.
lected as the standard>bearer Of the Union
party.

The DemocratIc ConVention.

On our 6rst page We give place to the re-
port Of the proceedings of the Territorial
Democratic Convention. The report is not
AS full as we could have desired, but is the
best We could obtain at the time. From Mr..
Linkton, a delegate from this county, we
learn that at no time was there any chance
for the nomination of Mr.. LangfOrd. This
was owing to the refusal Of several delegates
from the River counties to come to his sup
port. In this respect the delegates from
Clark county we're particularly obstinate,
and hence the failure to nominate candi'
date hailiDg from this section Of country.
At one time Mr.. F. P. Dugau, Of WAlla
Walla, received 90 votes-lacking but two
could not be obtained, and with this failure
all hope Of getting candidate from Walla
Walla was abandoned Gentlemen who were
present, and closely watched the proceedings
Of the Convention. assure US that the dele>
gates from this county exerted themselves
to the utmost to carry out the wishes of
their constituents, and that they accomplished
all that mortal men could accomplish under
the circumstances Failing to secure a
candidate from their own section, the next
question with the delegation was, which one
of the prominent gentlemen named from the
Sound country would be most acceptable to
their constituents? On this question they
we're unanimous in the opinion that Hon.
Frank Clarke, of Pierce county, was the
man, and they at once united in his nominaA
tion. In thus acting, so far as we have been
able to learn, they truly reflected the opinion
Of their constituents. From all parts of the
county, we hear that the nomination is we'll
and fayorably received, and not unfrequently
the opinion is expressed that Mr.. Clarke will
poll more votes than ary man who could
have been named from this county. Whether
this be so or not, it is quite certain that Mr..
G. will poll his full party vote, and that his
nomination is heartily endorsed by the
democratic and conservative voters of this
section of country.
As stump speaker, be is without an equal
in the Territory, unless it be Mr.. Garfelde,
and fully able to cope with even this isrenowned
orator. We are thus warranted in concud>
ing that the canvass will be able and thor>
ough, and that if the democracy fail to carry
the Territory, it will not be through any
fault of their staudard-bearer As the can>
vass opens, it looks as though the strength
Of both parties will be brought out, and that
-. 0u"e ereUuUn VIII clearly and distinctly
indicate the sentiment of our people in re-
gard to the questions that now agitate the

DEMOCRATIC PRNARY MEETISa.-The demo-
Gratis Of Walla Walla Precinct will meet at Hell
muth's Hall, Oh tomorrow Saturday afternoon, ,
at one o'clock, for the purpose OF electng nine
delegates to the County Convention. The COM
Tention for the purpose Of nominating candidates
for the Legislature, and to fill the county Offices
will meet at the Court House, on Wednesday,
May lst. We trust the delegates to the Con-
Vention will come up prepared to nominate men
Of character and rsspectabilty to 6ll the various
Offices. The Jefsrsonian test, "IS he honest ? iS
be capable ?" should be applied to each aud
every aspirant, and those who fail to come up
to this standard will have no right to complain
at being set aside. The Offices of Sheriff, Audi
tor, Treasurer, and County Commissioners are
really more important to the people, than that
Of Congressman or Governor of the Territory,
and it will be the high duty of the Convention
10 see that these Offices are 6lled BY men who
will faithfully discharge their trusts. In regard
to legislative nominations, the proper course
will be 10 place no man in nomination who will
not pledge himself 10 attend the sessions Of the
Legislature. Owing to the failure Of members
from this county, to attend meetings Of the Leg
iIlature, WAllA Walla has never exercised her
proper influence in shaping the legislation Of the
Territory. Let there be no occasion for con-
plant On this Ssore in the futars.

Post says:

FANNIE IN THE SoUTH.-The S. F. Altd, of
the 4th, contains a call for q meeting, signed
BY all the leading citizens of the commercial
metropolis, for the purpose Of deVising ways
and means for the relief of the destitute people
of the South. The call says that " multitudes of
the Southern people-those who are bone of
our bone, and flesh of our hesh-must die from
starvation unless they receive food from those
who are blessed with an abundance" This
call has been literally responded to by the
people of San Francisco, and already they have
forwarded forty thousand dollars in gold for the
relief Of their suffering countrymen. All
through the interior towns Of California, meet
iugs are being held fOa the purpose Of devisinK
means for the relief Of the famishing people
of the South, and everywhere they respond
literally. The question ariIes whether our
own people cannot do something for the re-
lief of their Southern brethren7 Here we are
blessed with abundance, and out Of that abun-
dance we can well afford to contribute to the
relief Of our suffering kindred. A high authority
has said that ait is more blessed to give than
receive" aud, acting upon this maxim, we trust
that our people will give literally toward the
relief Of those who are suffering and ready to
perish.

TIE Bread QUEsTIoN.-A few weeks since,
We took occasion to congratulate the people
Of thiI vicinity that there was little snow
on the mountains, tnst thereWould DO little
water in the upper Missouri, that it would
be impossible for steamers to come freely
with St. Louis freight, that Salt Lake could
only spare a limited amount of bread to Mon
tanA, and that wallA WAlla would be the
chief market for Montana for bread, butter, eggs,
and bacon the coming season. The Montana
POH does not see it IN this light and enters into
calculations to show that we Sre mistaken. The
Post says:
The latest intelligence we have had from Ca
latin Valley-the great Eve hundred square miles
Of Montana garden property-waI, that prime
wheat was unsaleabls at 81 per buShel, and that
thousands of bushels of grain, potatoes, ETC.,
were being fed to the stock. Every granery
and bin, every store house and mill is full, and
the only trouble is to End some way of disposing
of the surplus of last year. So abundant is the
surplus and 20 low the price, that ranchmen
are almost discouraged.
The POH winds up by saying that there is a
prospect of sufficient snow and sufficient water
in the Missouri for good raise and fair show
for the St. Louis boats, of which a larger num-
Der than ever are announced to make the trip.

EprroR SrArEsMAH:-Thers IL no use in dis
euising the Oaet that travel has considerably de-
creased since the combination Of the ocean lines
of steamers plying between San Francisco and
oregOn.. Ny Advices from the owyhee are to
the effect that hundreds are passing through
that country from California and Nevada, on
their way to the different mining districts. That
t6ertopposision iine''wA an immense advantage
to the Columbia river route can not be denied,
a. By means oflow fares the travel was induced
to follow this route. But with the high rates of
fare now charged to Oregon, and what with the
same old prices Of the o. S. N. Company, the
Chico and Humboldt routes get the preference.
TIE DISTRICT COURT.
The April term of the District Court for waseo
county commenced on Monday last and in the
absence of any great amount of litigation, pro-
secutions have been commenced against any body
and everybody for violations of the Sunday and
gambling laws. Some of our most respectable
citizens have been indicted for having pArticip-
ated in the innocent pastime known as "Sell
Out, and great is the excitement thereat. The
only party likely to gain by this Wholesale pro-.
secution, is District Attorney Slater who pockets
a fee of $40 in each case. What with Sunday
laws and legislation Of that character the Dalles
is fast assuming the appearance of quiet New
England village.
, 1867-04-26

Since our last, we have learnt from Messrs
Stanton and Yeaten, that on the Black lode two
shafts have been sunk to the depth of so to IS
feet respectively, showing a trne vein of feet
10 width Of pure quartz, yield ng $500 per ton,
IN gold also, that sufficient work has been done
on the Wayne lode and Umania lode to demon
strate their permsDence aud richness in silver
ore. The gentlemen say they will give to any
one or any company chance for an interest in
the above leads = fair rates.
, 1867-04-26

This famous lead is now under way. Mr..
Christnot, the Superintendent, Informs US that
the ore they are now crushing yields on the av-
erage $l00 to the ton, and the capacity of the
mill has never been fully tested, as all the ma
chinery belonging thereto is not yet in place ;
that owing to the cold weather there has not at
any time been sufficient water to work to an ad-
vantage, but the present thaw will make this
all right. We saw four bars, weighing 60 OF.
of as pure gold as any retort we have seen, at
the bank of Messrs. Nowlan & Weary, on Satur-
day last-so we go. We expect to hear of eight
to ten Thousand dollars a week from this on as
the yield of the mill, for we assured that the
strength and richness of the vein are Zach in
creAsing as the work progresses.

that gold has been discovered in that section
iu paving quantities, as the discoverers, twelve
or ifteen 10 number, came lately into Hellgate
VALLEY for supplies, and returned with many
friends. Their report is most reasonable and is
fully credited They said that, as they had not
a suficiency Of provisionsto thoroughly prospect
the country, that they were not prepared to ex :
press an opinion as to extent, but firmly believed
the field to be large; the prospects they obtained
were not extraordinarily rich, but indicated what
would be called, in mining phraseology, ga reg
ular thing" from fifteen to twenty dollars day

gings are shallow, "pay dirt" beginning a few
inches below the grass roots wood and water
are abundant

For years it has been the ambition of our citiN
Eens to have the Dalles connected with the
mining districts by means Of stage line. Sew
eral projects have been set on foot at various
times, looking to this result but owing to In
dian troubles, and constant outside opposition,
the enterprise was never carried into practical
operation. But at last our ambition is to be
grati6ed. Robbins L Weaver intend to run a
tri.weekly stage line to Boise Basin, via Canyon
City, as soon as the necessary arrangements can
be perfected. Posters have made their appear
ancs announcing that W. NJ. Ward has stocked
the road from Dalles to Umatilla, and intends

Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, carrying the
