DEMOCRATIC FAsTIDIoUsSEss.-The democratic
newspapers of this State are giving wide publi
city to statement to the effect that Hon. Alvan
Flanders, the successful candidate for Congress
IN Washington Territory, declared in Walla
Walla, on election day, that he would rather be
deieated than to be elected by the votes Of col
ored men. The Walla Walla Statesman is given
as authority for this statement. As the copper.
head papers are making so much ado over it,
ana as the Herald has repeated Il at least twice
since the election, it will not be amiss for us to
lniorm them that they are altogether mistaken
In their assertion, and that Mr. Flanders never
nade snch a statement as they impute to him
The story is utterly absurd Mr.. Flanders would
have been quite as far as his democratic opponent
from declining the votes Of colored men, \ + X
Mr Clark did not decline negro votes, neither
dic Mr.. Flanders. And we know that Mr.. Elan.
ders did not say that he would rather not have
the office at all than to be elected BY negro
votes.-OrsgoHdn.
If our friend of the Oregonian has authority
Tor bis denial of the statement that Mr.. Flanders
was unwilling to receive negro votes, we should
like to see the authority produced. Er. Elan.

4 v,s,, - the P..louse FaIIs.

aThere is pleasure in the painless woods;
There is a rapture on the lonely shore;
There is society where none intrudes;
Rv the deep sea, and music In Its roar
love not man the less, but Nature more.
From these our interviews 10 which steel,
From all Imay be, or have been before,
To mingle with the Universe and feel
What can ne'er express, yet cannot all conceal"
"Distance lends enchantment to the view"
says the poet, and ia prophet is not without
honor, save in his own country" says the in-
spired writer and this truth, alike of poetry and
inspiration, was impressed on US by recent
visit to the "Palouse Falls" spot of beauty
and interest, and yet attracting but little atten
ton, only because so near cur doors. As some
of your readers may feel an interest in the mat.
ter, we will tell in few words, how to get to
these falls, and their appearance
THE WAY TO GO.
The falls are some ffty-fv miles from Walla
Walla, and you 60 on the road to the Snake
river ferry, (SilcOtts) at the mouth of the Pa
louise; and if you go for pleasure, and want to
take it leisurely along, you drive the first day,
seven miles beyond the Touchet, where you will
find nice spring, with fine grass, surrounded
with interesting hills, now rejoicing in their
robes of green, and which, in the cool of the
morning, afford delightful tramps for the child
rem, and older folks too. OF course you will
take the children with you2 They enjoy romp
over the hills hugely, and then they look at ev.
cry thing through such fresh eyes, and their no.
tiors and observations are so quaint. We had
dozen, more or less, and our cry, like poor
"Oliver's," was for "more, more" The next
day you start early to go down the long canyon
on the way to Snake river, before the heat of
the day Sicott will put you over Snake river
here, about quarter of mile wide, on his well
arranged ferry, run by wire and pulies, in four
minutes by the watch, and then you keep on the
Colville road about four miles to the north end
of a series of butes, and there you turn off, and
as there is no road by picking your way, and
looking for the most practicable ground, aud
driving easterly for two or three miles, you can
drive your carriage directly to the falls and
camp on the banks of the Palouse, with the roar
OF the waters in your ears. If you are horse
back, follow the trail up the Palouse from the
ferry to the falls.
The drive from Walla Walla to the falls is
highly interesting; succession of hills of all
sizes and proportions greet you on all Sides
From the summit on the divide, between the
waters of the Touchet and Snake rivers, YOU
have an extended view back to the Blue noun
tains and ahead to the Snake river, aud the hills
and country far beyond and just before desceu,
ding the Snake river hill, your eve rests on the
grateful green bottom of the Palouse, with its
clear and pure waters, flowing into the turbid
Snake and after ascending the Snake river hill
to the northward and eastward, tue eye sweeps
over a vast extent of country rarely surpassed in
rugged desolaton and widuess.
