GARFIELDE's CHANcEs.-A letter from
a prominent republican at Monticello informs
us that Cowlitz county will, iu oil probability
go for Mr.. 0ar6elde. We now estimate.
from what information we can gather, that
the following named counties will 70 for Mr..
Gar6eldo in the Convention, with a chance
of portion Of the balance following suit /:
Thurstou, 81 votes Chehalis ! Kitsap, IL /;
King, 2; Jefferson, II; Whateom, l /; Sno.
hOmish, l; Wahkiakum, I; Oowlitz, !,
Clark. 4 Skamania, l Klickitat, !; Yaki,
ma, !; Stevens !, ,making total Of IS j votes /:
Of the remaining number, we do not think
it all improbable that Pierce and Pacific
counties will also favor Gar6elde. These two
counties have 2f votes and If Gar6elde
should get them, he would have more than
tWo.thirds of all the votes Of the Convention.

SECRET CIRoULAR.-Ws call attention to
the remarkable political document on our
first page, signed by Baker, Cox & Co. As
a'literary curiosity it will repay perussl, and
serves to show the mental calibre ofthe men
who aspire to lead the radical party. The
authorship Of this literary bijou rests between
Baker aud Cox = the 6rst perspiring after
Congressional honors, and the second anxious
to play the role of Governor! As compo,
sition it would disgrace ten year old school
boy, whilst politically it shows its authors as
ready to betray the party they pretend to
champion. 1t is Darwin, we believe, who
holds that man is only the monkey fully de
veloped. We accept the theory, and regard
the authors Of the " secret circular as i'm.
perfectly developed monkeys.

A MODEL CANDIDATE.-The Vancouver
Register vouches for the habits and general
good moral character of Salucius Garfelde,
whom it holds up as model for Congress
sional aspirants. We believe that Capt.
Adams is a comparative stranger in the
Territory, but if he had taken the pains to
inquire of any of the old settlers they would
have told him the true character of the man
he ventures to endorse. He would have
learned that he left California hurriedly in
order to avoid the charge of having swindled
his partner. 1t is in the year 1856, if our
memory serves US right, that GarGelde dates
his heigra from California. He next turned
up as Receiver of the Land Office at Oym,
pia-a position he owed 20 the favor of John
c. Breckenridge, the man he subsequently
so bitterly reviled. Consistent in nothing
else, Gar6elde has always been consistent in
his rascality, and having in his capacity Of
Receiver become the custodian of various
sums of money-the property of poor settlers
wHs had deposited it with him to pay for
their land claims-he appropriated the same
to bis use, aud it was only when the dishon.
est Receiver was removed from office that his
victims discovered how terribly they had
been swindled. Many of the settlers thus
Plundered are still living iu the Territory,
and knowing Gar6elde as they do, we think
it will require something more than silvery
speech to convince them that he is an honest
man or one that can be safely trusted to rep
resent the interests of the people. After
leaving the Registers office in disgrace, this
model gentleman for several years figured
nOminally as lawyer, but really as a hanger.

Malskey that would floor any ordinary man.
With all these defects, and a reputation for
dishonesty wherever he has had the opportu,
nity to betray trust, Mr. Gar6elde is an
eminently fit person to be made the standard,

Sir Il am resident of the city and

tory, aud have just come over the mail route
from said Walla Walla by Boise city, Idaho
Territory, Salt Lake City, Utah Territory,
to the end of the Union Pacific Railroad ;
thence by said road to Omaha, State of Me-
braska; thence the usual route to Chicago and
this place. From representations, and froui
what | know of my own knowledge, the
people will be better served, by the mail, for
Oregon and Washington Territory, east of
the Cascades, being distributed at Chicago,
or at the point where the mail is taken from
the railroad on the stage, and a way-bill,
each way, be sent with the daily mail for
Boise City, Idaho Territory, Walla Walla
city, Washington Territory, Umatilla City,
the Dalles city and the city of Portland, Or
egon' The Walla WalIa way.bil would
have to beseparate from the other way-blls.

through. This arrangement 10 include ev-
cry stage driver and carrier-they being the
ones to take charge of the way-bills and de-,
liver them, with the mails, to the proper
postmasters for them to examine.
By attending to this and adopting the
foregoing plan l believe you will remedy
what has been for years a great inconveu-
ience to the public, as it will prevent the de-
lay incurred in much of the mail being sent
to Portland, Oregon, for distribution, and
then sent back, over the same road, from
one to three hundred miles, consuming from
two to ten days time.
Very Respectfully,

The Olympia correspondent of the San

under date Of March 16, has the following
in relation to Washington Territory politics
DELEGATE TO CONGRESS.
Politicians are about as active in Wash>
ington Territory at the present time as poli.
ticians Of your State were 10 October last,
The election for Delegate to Congress takes
place on the first Monday in June next. The
Republican Territorial Convention to nomi-
nate candidate for Delegate is called to meet
at Claquato on the 10th of April, and the
Democratic Convention for the same purpose
will assemble at Vancouver on the 22d of
the same month. The prominent candidates
on the republican side are Hon. s. Garielde,
Surveyor General of the Territory, and Hon.
A. Flanders, our late Delegate, whose term
expired on the 4th inst. A bitter contest is
now being waged in the primaries and coun.
ty conventions between the friends of these
gentlemen. Mr.. Flanders is gentleman of
ordinary ability, but possesses fair business
qualifications as delegate. He has succeed
ed in doing but little for the Territory gem
orally, but has been very successful as a
claim agent for particular friends, and few
enemies be desired 10 silence
The splendid ability of Mr.. Gar6elde as an
orator and statesman are well-knowu "a
thousands of Californians and Oregonians who
heard him speak during the Presidential can
Vass last fall. As an orator and reasoner
Mr.. Gar6elde has few equals aud no super
iors in the United States He is now the
candidate of the people, the laboring masse:
of the Territory, whilst Mr.. Flanders is back

a few who expect Office at his hands if elected
There are several other gentlemen seeking
the nomination at the hands of the republican
party who hope that the friends of Messrs
Gar6elde and Flanders will kill them. of be
fore the Convention assemblies, and tha
they will be the compromise man. Among
them l may mention Chief Justice Hewitt
of Olympia, D. S. Baker and Anderson Cox
Of Walla Walla, and II. G. Struve of Van
couver.
DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES.
Among the Democracy candidates are mol
so numerous, but they are just as confident
of success before the people as the othel
side. Judge McFadden, of Olympia, ap,
pears to be the favorite candidate in this Dor
tion Of the Territory. Judge Lancaster il
popular candidate in the river counties, anC
W. H. Newell, editor Of the Walla Wallt
Statesman, is most prominent in the East
ern counties. The contest for the Delegate
ship will be close one. Mr. Flanders ma
jority two years ago was less than 100. L
is believed that the immigration to the Ter,
rltory since that time has not materially
changed the numerical strength of parties
, 1869-04-16

OUT OF DEBr.-It will be seen by the
report of Auditor Blewett, published else
where in this weeks paper, that when the
amount OF delinquent taxes now due shall
have been collected and paid into the Treas
ury, there will probably be sufficient funds
to cancel the whole of our county indebted>
ness. This intelligence will be most graft
flying to taxpayers, as with the wiping out
of the debt they can look forward to great
reduction in their taxes. While the sheriff
appears to be manifesting disposition to
gobble up the whole of the delinquent taxes
he will probably not be able to get the entire
amount, yet the outstanding remainder will
be so small that the payment of the debt
this year will be an easy matter, and the
next annual exhibit will, without doubt,
show clear record and handsome balance
in the treasury.
, 1869-04-16

"GoEs Ten BETTER. DIR. Baker says
that when he first started out to make the
Delegate race his intention was to spend ten
thousand dollars, but now that he is in the
fight he has concluded to "go ten bette" "
making twenty thousand dollars in the spot"
It is doubtful whether Garfelde will be able
to " see him." and as consequence the old
Doctor is confident of "raking the pile"
, 1869-04-16

REPUDIATED.-Ande Cox, one of the
signers of the secret circular" denouncing
Garfelde, is a resident of the Coppei Pre-
cinct, where he aspires to the position of a
leader At the radical meeting in that pre-
cinct resolutions instructing for Gar6elde
were adopted without dissent. This is none
of our funeral, and we only refer to the fact
for the purpose of showing that the old "pig
driver" is repudiated in his own home.

SOCIAL CULTURE AMONG bOYe.-N Il
the great trouble among boys when they
get old enough to 60 out into company,
that they don't know how to behave when
they get there. So they sit sheepishly
around on any handy corner they can find,
and wish they were in their shirit sleeves,
or anywhere else than in that "pesky
parlor."
There is nothing to rub of this rust
but contact with society. The only way
to feel at home in the parlor is to be
familiar with it. Here mothers are often
greatly at fault. The best room is kept
shut and darkened, and the intruder who
strayed into it would be quickly warned
out. Children who are accustomed to
little gatherings at home or at q neigh-
boris, in holiday and birthday times, sell
dom feel this painful difidence. It is
natural for youth to love such assembl.
ages, and they are q very essential part of
their education.
But if young man finds himself in
this uncomfortable plight he must do the
best he can to remedy the neglect of his
early social culture. He must muster
courage and plunge into the best society
he can gain access to. If he is uniformly
polite and obliging, without any trouble
some of6cioumess, he will very soon be q
favorits. After that, all will be smooth
sailing. He should not think it too much
trouble after q days work to take q
thorough bath and Echange his working
clothes, and thenwalk over to a neigh
boris for an hours social chat. This
sociabilitv would tend to produce good
feeling in neighborhood's and would ole
vate and improve all parties. Add to this
an hours reading every day Of some
profitable book, and you will at the years
end have attained much higher culture
than your neighbor who spends his even
ing lounging on the counter of tho village
store, or sluggishly sitting down to doze
before the fire.
