other arithmetical process can the desired
information be obtained by 80 few figures
Sir per cent. Multiply anygivcn number
of dollars by the number of days Of Interest
desired, separate the right-hand figure anc
divide by six, tho result is the true interest
on such sum for such number Of days at 81
per cent. ,,
Fight per cent Multiply any giyel
amount by the number Of days upon which
it is desired to ascertain the interest, ono
divide By forty fire, and the result will b'
the interest of such for the time required, a
eight per cent. t.,
Ten per cent Multiply the same as Hbov
and divide by Mirtysir, and the resnI

The Republican vote of these towns for
Drury, last year, was about 2,lOO, and the
Democratic vote for Chopper about 1000.
The Republican vote this year IS about
1900, and the Democratic vote less than
1900, thus showing that with much less
vote to be discounted, fully as many Demo
Gratis stsid away from the polls as Republi'
cans. We have chosen for this comparison
the vote of last year which is least liable to
objection on the ground of its not being a
fair test vote between the two parties.
Cordva, Canoe Creek, Bowling, Anda'n'
sia, Buffalo Prairie and Drury, arc not yet
reported. In last years. election these clowns
gave Drury for sheriff over Chopper an ag'
gregate majority of 252, but that was In
state election and on full vote.

r,r'y than those nc received from the stcessioni:s,
on the field of battle We don't believe that men
precisely in his situation can Kill OFF the wounded
soldiers, who have fought the battles Of their
try, in such way. Hcland Capt. Adams, of the
Vancouver Register, believe, arc the only parti-
sans who have publicly spoken contc mptuously Of
wounds received in cause which tn cy profess to
uphold. We regret, for the credit Of our Territory,
that single citizen should have forgotten himself
so far. The "Judyc" was also unfortunate in his
defense of Mr.. Garfcdc against the charge pre-
fcrrcd by the Puget Sound Herald in 1861, of appro-
priating money deposited with him as Receiver of
the Land Office, to his own use. Tie Judge de-
MED the charge Coppcread lie, and after stout
~ denying it, he entered into gntc laborcd argu-
ment to j"st!yH. He said that there was, after all,
nothing criminal in using money received on de-
post. 1t could only be considered breach Of trust;
that it was perfectly natural for to money
deposited with him. in the expectation that he would
BE- able to replace it when it became due, and it
by no means surprising that he should be disap-
pointed in his expectations; he might be unfortu-
nate, or he might fail in business and thus be
ble to meet the deposits when due. The "Judge"
stated that he could say, attorney, that the de-
posits which had been made had all been finally
collected and seemed to he entirely oblivious Of the
fact that every argument he presented was III I'M
answerablc reason why it is not safe to trust any
man who will use none deposited with him for the
use and benefit of others.

for the loss. The exhibition, VIC understand,
was quito imposing, the eiaeksrs imported from,
down tho Sound were we'll drilled, and sup
piled heavy instalments of applause. The per
diem Of them, with expense Of steamboats, and
brass-bands, could not have amounted to less
than three or four hundred dollars. We do
not know whether it was paid from the Josh
fund, reserved from the pay ofdcputy survey
Ors, to support JOhnsOn's Administration, or
whether it comes out Of the $1,000 which a
noted capitalist says is ready to be expended
in elcCtng Garfelde. OfcOurse the mud-sill

is enough to know that our meeting was at

county than were at the other. The spcecl,
was q mere rchash Of those slreadv made ut
Vancouver and other points and printed. We
confess that Garfcide has powers of fascina-
ton, and his friends will scarcely deny that he
delights in exhibiting them. Nature has
clothed him in bright colors, aud made him
Oblivious, as he pursues his .ortuous course
over the Territory, unfolding his slippery coils
and displaying his brilliant scales of every hue,
shooting forth his forked tongue and sounding
his rattle at every turn, that these gifts,
though they many attract the crowd to gaze,
were bestowed to teach TIE wary to shun.

Know othingism.

The Port Townsend Message in speaking of
Sclucius' proposed raid through the East,
speaks in the most contemptuous terms of for
cign immigrants, rating them rs mere chattcls
at the value of 81 300 per head to the Terri
tory. Foreigners what do you think Of tina: ?
viii you support party that sets you down
rs worth less per head than the average costof
negroes under the playei-out institution OF
slavery. Read this extract from that Know
Nothing journal, and judge for yourselves:
at has been estimated that each foreign immi-
grant coming to th, country is worth to the nation
$l 800. The people Garhelde would induce to
come here would not be foreigners. but Ameri-
cans, and would be of more average worth to the
Territory than the average worth Of foreign iumi-
grants is to the country"

NJ Watson introduces rebel witness to prove
Gar6elde loyal man, but objects to our witness
who proves him scccssionist because he "went
South and joined the rebellion" Now the differ.
ence between the two Witnesses is, that one had not
the manlincss to fight for his convictions, the other
had. Whatever may b, said of Isaac w. Smiths
errors in Judgment, we have yet to find man who
impugned his motives or doubted his honesty. His
