IRISH IMMIGRATION.

Through the kindness of Frank
P. Dugan, Esq, of this city, now in
the States, we have been furnished
with a full report of the proceedings
of the Irish Immigration Conven-
tion, which assembled at St. Louis
on the 8th ult. Mr.. Dugan repre-
sented Washington Territory in the
Convention, which was composed of
distinguished iIriShmen from nearly
all the States and Territories in the
Union.
The object of the Convention is
to establish an association, to be
called the "IriSh Immigration Aid
Association" to aid Irish immigrants
to become land holders in the Uni>

exceed 100000, 10 be created by
subscriptions of stock at FIVE dollars
per share; every State or Territory

entitled to director, and an addi-
tiOnal director for every additional
1900 shares subscribed, and paid in ;
the Association to cease at the ter
minatiOn of twentyt years. and the
capital stock to be refunded to the
original stockholders, or their heirs
or assigns, upon a surrender of the
stock certificates the capital stock

nations and bcquests, and only the
interest, or so much thereof as may
be necessary, to be used for immi-
grant aid purposes.
The deliberations of the Conven-
ton were of the most harmonious
character, and should its objects be
fully carried out great good must
necessarily result to the immigrant
who, fleeing from the oppression of
English rule, in the future shall
seek home in the United States.
Mr.. Dugan was appointed by the
Convention an incorporation for this
Territory.

"A cABAL OF TREACHERY.n

Under the above caption the Ore
gonian Of the 9th ult. thus treats
the doings of the Republican mem
bers of the Washington Legislature,
now in session at Olympia. If, as
the Oregonian asserts, their actions
have been such as to cast a refec-
tion upon the administration of Press
ident Grant, then indeed must they
be guilty of degree of political tur>
pitude sufficient to justify its stric.
lures
"From Olympia we hear that the
boilers and disorganizers of the Feder-
al clique who have been trying for sevs
eral months to weaken and overthrow W
the Republican party of Washington
Territory, are still at their treacherous
work, - evincing, if possible, more
shamelessness and mslignancy than
ever. With the abjuration of party fe.
atty they seem also to have renounced
trutL and honor, and for the sake OF
gratifying their resentments are ready
TO do anything their copperhead allies
may require. 1t would be
difficult to guess what the Republicans
over there have done, that such a base
set Of political marsuders should be
placed in positions where they can do so
much harm. They should
abandon positions in which they have
wronged the whole Republican party of
the Territory and scandaiized the honest
and true Republican administration of
President Grant. When the
props that sustain such factious great
5ess as that of Flanders and his set are
torn away, such political varlets will
quickly sink back to the ignoble condi~
tion from which lucky circumstance
lucky for them but untOward for the
people-have raised them"
The democracy, when the proper
time shall have arrived, will attend
to knocking the props from under
this faction, SO the Oregonian may
rest easy on that assurance.

RATLROAD PROsPECTs.

The people both East and West
are almost universally becoming SAN
guine Of the early commencement Of
work upon the Northern Pacific Rail.

posed line is enhancing in value on
account Of this prevailing sentiment.
In our own locality, instead Of the
unsettled feeling that existed among
the people few years ago, we hear.
no one talking of "gOing home in
the spring." but every one seems
satisfied now to feel at home here
and to talk only Of visiting friends
in the East " after the completion
of the Northern Pacific Railroad. 1t
will be recollected by the cold set
tiers" that only three years age it
was seldom one met with person
here who considered himself perma,
'uently located in the country; but
now we may go among the same
class Of people and as seldom find
-oze who docs not scoDsider himself
settled for life. At no time since the
settlement. of the valley has prop
Rrty, both in town and country, been
held SO firmly1or commanded bet
ter price than now, and the tendency
seems to be gradually upward. We
have undoubted evidence that this
feeling is not confined to our own
people, in the fact that spectators
and their agents from the East, have
for come time past been out along
the proposed line of the road looking
at the lands, with view to entering
and settling upon them as soon as
work upon the road is begun.

Northern Railroad Convention,

The Northern Railroad Conven-
tiou, recently in session at Oswego,
New York, has made an elaborate
report, in which it is stated that the
chief cities of China are from 500 to
800 miles nearer Puget Sound, the
proposed western termini of the
Northern Pacific Railroad, than San
Francisco and since vessels coming
from China to San Francisco FIRST
make the American shore opposite
Puget Sound, and then run down
the coast, it will be seen that the
trA6o from China by way of Puget
Sound and the Northern Pacific
Railroad will effect saving Of 500
miles or more of ocean navigation,
thus bringing Europe from 1000 to
$500 miles, nearer China than she
is OF can be BY any existing route.

PED BY HIGHwAYMEN.-The stage
which left Los Angeles on the 21st
ult., with eight passengers, for San
Francisco, was stopped about two
miles from that city, by four high
waymen in masks, aud a demand for
the treasure boxes at once made. Mr..
Ben. c. Truman, correspondent of
the San Francisco Times, who was
on the seat with the driver, threw
off the express boxes, at the request
of the leader of the gang, and was
then ordered to get off and accom-.
pany the desperate to the rear of the
stage, the latter remarking, with a
revolver cooked, that no harm was
intended. The seven passengers in
the inside were then taken out and
stood in line, and thoroughly search
ed and robbed. A Mr.. Lamoreux,
of Brooklyn, Alameda County, was
robbed of 81 900 in gold, Mr.. Tru-
man was relieved of nearly 5000, and
the other passengers Of small amounts
and other valuables. One of the
robber5 snapped pistol at a German,
and revolver was discharged acci-
dentally. The Captain of the gang
was evidently an expert, while his
companions were verdant, and be-
trayed lack Of experience in the
art of highwaymansbip. The Ex.
press Company's loss is about five
hundred dollars. The mail bags con-
tanned several hundred thousand dol
lars in greenbacks, belonging to Gov
ernment, which were not touched.
Mr.. Truman saved a valuable dia.
mond ring by turning the setting
inside. This morning the return
stage brought in the two boxes,
which had been broken open by
means of q cold chisel. White Pine

with Los Angeles have been, of late

bers and recovery of the treasure.

Astounding Revelations.
PRESIDENT GRANT IN LEAGUE WITH tn
nAMnIHRs

PRESIDENT GRANT IN LEAGUE WITH THE
GOLD GAMBLERS.
The last and worst revelation, says
the Harrisburg Patriot, in regard 10 the
recent gold gambling scandal in New
York has been made. 1t is now well
ascertained that the transactions which
have brought thousands to financial ruin
were the result of deliberate conspiracy
among certain reckles0 stock gamblers,
at the head of whom was Mr.. A. R.
Corbin, of New York, the brother-in>law
of General Grant. Since the terrible
storm in Wall street, which threatened
to end iu a financial crisis like that of
1857, and which has excited indignation
and alarm throughout the whole coun>
try, Mr.. Corbiu has seen ht to deny his
connection, and even his acquaintance
with James Fisk Jr., and the CROWD of
gold gamblers, of whom Fisk was the
ostensible leader. This denial on the
part Of the Presidents ,brother-in.law
has brought out reply from Fisk in
which be makes a very clear and strong
statement over his own signature, &C,
companying the document with afidavits
from a number of well>known brokers,
who substantiate every allegation which
Fisk makes. The substance of the
statement by Fisk, and of the accom-.
panying afidavits is contained in the
following extracts:
1t is proper for me to say that Mr..
Corbin has been party in interest with
us, and others whose, names it is not
now necessary to mention, iu the recent
gold speculation, and that be has cons
stsntly communicated with me respect,
ing this gold speculation.
10 fact, Mr.. Corbin was in this specu-
lation long before was. It had been
organized and carried on by him and
other gentlemen for some weeks before
knew Of its existence. He is entitled
to almost the entire credit of originals
ing the grand scheme for advancing the
price Of gold, and l willingly disclAim
in bis favor the honor-so kindly i'm
puted to me by the press in general-of
having devised this bold and brilliant
operation. 1t was the fruit of Mr.. Cor,
bins own suggestive mind, and long
before knew anything of it. Mr.. Cor.
bins representations concerning the
powerful influence which be could bring
to bear 10 favor of the speculation had
enlisted in his support other gentlemen
of means aud capacity; and it is only
just to say that Mr.. Corbin's assurance
on this point were fully carried out up
to the 23d Of September.
No man can read the above extract
and the accompanying alidavits without
being fully convinced of the completely

gigantic gold gambling scheme which
convulsed the country. That Mr., Cor

STRANGE against the division of the
county was forwarded FROM this city
to Olympia this week. The s.gners
included men from all parts of the
county, among whom are large
number of residents of the Touohet,
in the limits Of the proposed new
county. The commotion about this
division question seems TO us to be
somewhO. of the tempest in tea
pot" order; for ii is understood that
all our representatives at Olympia
are opposed to it. We know the
people of this vicinity to be uuani-
mously opposed to it; and judging
from the sentiments we have heard
expressed by residents of Waits
burg and the Touchet, corpOral's
guard would sum the number of
those who favor it there. Under
these circumstances it seems strange
to us that there should be any fears
of our legislature dividing the cOun-
ty. Matters of this kind, affecting
the interests of counties, have here
tOfOre always been left by our legis'
latures to the representatives of such
counties, and we incline to the Opin-
ion that this will be done in the
present instance.
