last term of the court. Mr.. Cook, of Van
couvcr. who prosccutes for the United
States at the present term, on making him
self familiar with the law Of the cases and
the facts, at once asked the court to dis

ministration will give us legal gentleman,
competent to represent the interests ofthc
Government, one who will not term after
term nccdlessly annoy honest citizens, wit
ncsses and jurors, with frivolous prosecu-
tons. In the case Of Territory Of WASH

from the Coloxist: Benjamin Holiday,
the Vanderbilt Of the Pacific, is really cx-
pected here by the steamship Or:Ramme
in the course of a few days. He is now at
Portland. The Or;famme, with Mr.. Hol-
laday on board, will touch at Victoria be-
fore proceeding across the Sound, where
Mr.. Holiday will select railroad tcrmin-
JUS. 1t is known that the Company Of
which Mr.. Holiday is President has made
large purchases of real estate at Esquimalt
recently. with n view Gas is supposedly Of
making that port the northern centre Of
the steamship line, where the ships may
coal and take in stores for Voyages either
Ito San Francisco or Alaska"
nay" We learn from the Portland papers
that Mr.. Chaplicr, who resides near the
|Cowlitz river, lately met with q serious &C.
|cidcnt by tho bursting of tho cylinder of a
threshing machine, one Of the iron teeth
him in the forehead, another on
the side. and another on the thigh, the
combined efforts of which rendered him
inscnsible for two days. At last accounts
he was slowly recovering.

T. The suits for violation of the Inter-
nal Revenue Laws in Oregon, instituted by
informcrs, have sigually failed in convic-
ton. This is right. The law is an out
rage at best, and it is hoped that all suits
against parties who have inadvertently vio-
lated its provisions, will meet with like
fate
