SHALL WE HELP CUBA?-The New
York Sun. reviewing the situation in
Spain and Cuba, sums up as follows:
I. 1t is right for us to aid the Cubans,
because they are trying to free them
selves from the oppression of distant,
alien, European monarchy, and to assert
the American principle of the right of
self-government.
II. 1t is right to help them, because
they are fighting to abolish slavery and
the African slave trade, and to establish
human rights in place of the Internal
atrocities and wrongs of the slave sys-
tenn.
III. It is right to help them to estab-
lish republic in Cuba, because we also
obtained help from abroad in the hour
of our struggle. That fact imposes upon
us an obligation to lend our own aid to a
neighboring people fighting like the men
of Cuba to realize for themselves the
benefits of Republican independence and
Democratic self-government.
w. It is polite to help the Cubans.
Cuba belongs, by her geographical posi-
tion, to the political system of the United
States. For half q century our states
men have perceived and have maintain
ed that we cannot permit that she should
pass into the hands OF any other power.
Indeed, she is destined to become part
of the American Union.
This being so, ought we to stand lazily
and cowardly b. snd see her devastated
by civil war which we can arrest with a
word? Ought we to consent that she
shopld be made desert, that all the
work of modern civilization shall be
annihilated on her plains and hillsjdes,
as preliminary to her annexation? We
can't see it. On the contrary, it is our
duty rather to protect her against the
useless barbarism Of her enemies, to
avert the further destruction of her
homes, her mills, her plantations, and to
bid the ferooious Spaniard depart from
her shores with the whips and fetters of
his slaves, and all the apparatus of his
odious and intolerable tyranny: Her
sons have proved that their antagonists
cannot conquer them; and every consi.
deration that should influence statesmen
having sense and courage enough for
their situation, requires that the Govern
ment of the United States should deci-
sively interfere to stop civil war in Cuba,
and maintain the rights of her people
without any longer delay.

Kenzie, Mayorlof this city. having been
called upon to appoint a GGs;sgate, las
appointed Col. J. b. Palmert Alternate,
r. @. Shiver, Esq. We append the re-
solutions adopted at q public meeting in
Louisville, held june 2. 1869. Isaac
Caldwell. Esq, Chairman of the Com
mittee on Resolutions, made the follow
ing report: sTseFl
Resolced, That the people of Louisville
cordially extend q welcome to the dele.
gates who may attend the Southern
Commercial Convention, on the 18th of
October, and assure them that the great
measures upon which they will be called
upon to deliberate will enlist the earnest
attention of the business men OF this
city. =
Resoloed, That the commercial inter.
ests of the whole Union are SO insepara-
bly, interlaced that the prosperity of one
section rebounds to the interest of all,
and the depression OF any portion is
sensibly felt in every department. of
commerce.
Resolved, Therefore, that every effort
should be made by the mercantile COM
m1nity of every State to resuscitate and
develop the languishing interests of any
portion of the country which may tenn
porarily droop, and that, knowing no
sectional division. we hold out the hand
of brotherhood to every American, in
the hope that wise efforts to benefit our
common country may cement affections
and blot out the differences of the past.
ResolUeci, That we will extend the hos
pitality of Louisville to the strangers
who may come amongst us to aid in the
good work, and nothing shall be left un-
done to impress them with a heartfelt,
cordial, Kentucky welcome.
ReSoiued, That the delegates from
Louisville to the late Memphis conven-
ton are entitled to our hearty thanks for
the able and judicious manner in which
they discharged their duty, and sought
to advance the material interests of the
city and State, and that we hereby assure
them of our continued appreciation of
their energy and public spirit.
ReSOlred, That we will cooperate zeal
ously with the Committee of Arrange
ments and any auxiliary committees to
insure the complete success Of the con
vention and the comfort and enjoyment
of the delegates aud strangers who may
come amongst us.

BE BEAUTIFUL.-If you desire beauty
you should use Hagan's Magnolia Balm.
1t gives a soft, refined, satin-like tex
ture to the Complexion, removes Rough
ness, Redness, Blotches, Sunburn, Tan,
&C., and adds tinge of Pearly Bloom to
the plainest features. 1t brings the
Bloom of Youth to the fading cheek and
changes the rustic Country Girl into
Fashionable City Belle.
In the use of the Magnolia Balm lies
the true secret Of Beauty. No Lady need
complain of her Complexion who will
invest Is cents in this delightful article.

"Whero is Drake S. Il. 1850 X?" We
have heard this question, asked many
times, and for all we know for q year past
he might be dead. Recently, in New
York, we called ut his Laboratory in
Liberty street, and there found this gen
tleman barricaded behind tremendous
pile of boxes, distributing funds to n
Sunday School Committee. Our bust
ness was to secure an advertisement. He
said: "NIy dear sir, what is the use Of
advertising the Plantation Bitters? They
sell better now than when I advertised

TO satisfy the press, however, who have
always been my friends, think L will
give you little something to do again,
for 1 have improved the Bitters greatly,
and it may be we'll to have you let the
people know it. And so he ran on in
happy. cordial, appreciative manner,
showing us the wonders of his place and
the cords OF certificates. Everything is
on magnificent scale, and is done with
neatness and promptness. While there
we saw at least forty orders come in for

ing shipped to the four corners of tho

ters either.-Erchaige paper.

The Unionville Times says: 'In our

the Charleston Ne1cs to let alone such
barren questions as free trade, protective
tariffs and uniform currency. Let them
alone until our greatest evil is removed" f"
We reply that the Charleston Neps has

Stumpage.

The following letter has been handed u,
for publication, together with one from Mr..
Flanders to the Commissioner, stating the
hardships to which our people were cub
jected by the onerous tax Of 81 50 per
thousand feet placed upon the public tim
Der last November. Limited space pre-
cludcs the publication Of Nr. Flanders
letter. Wecongratulase parties interested
that it has had the desired effect, and we
trust that the Judges, whose duty it now
is to fix the rate Of stunpagc, will place it
at an equitable figure:
Hon. ALvAN FLANDERS,
Delegate from Warrington Territory,
House Of Representatives. :
SIR:-I have carefully considered the
statements in your letter fthe 2Uth inst,
in relation to the rate Of stumpage, in max
ing compromises with parties cutting TIM
Der on the public lands in Washington
Territory, under extenuating circumstances
by law it is made obligatory upon this Of
uCc W sec that sAc puOlc tiuDeT Is pro-
tected, and by circular herewith, Of the
oath December, 1855, the duty is devolved
upon the district land officers. The rate
ofstumpage fixed by my predecessor for
Washington Territory was rs cents per
NJ. feet. This rate seemed to be very
small, and for reasons given in my letter,
copy herewith, 9th Nov. last, to Lcander
Holmes, Esq, Y. s. District Attorney, act
ing timber agent for Washington Territory,
it was increased to 81 SO per M. feet
This latter rate it is thought by you to be
too high. What would be very INSULT
cicnt stumpage in one locality, may be ex-
orbitant in another, and We are not dis
posed to disregard the distinction. We
are willing, therefore, in cases where there
are cxtcn uating circumstances, and COM
promises are authorized, that the Judge of
the court should fix the next rate of stump
age, and VIC will stand by it, and the agent
through the Register and Receiver will be
instructed accordingly.
Your obedient servant,
Jos. S. WILSON,
Commissioner.

NEW ADvxhTgo4MINfs-We desire to
direct the attention Of eur readers to the
advertisement Of the American Watch
Company, in another column. This Com
pany is the pioneer Of Matchmaking in
the United States, and has grown in the
short space Of fifteen years to be the largest
Watch manufacturing establishment in the
world. This fact, in connection with an
other important fact that their Watches
are now selling at less prices in grccnbacks
than the gold prices asked before the war
illustrates the great success Of the Com.
pany.
Attention is also drawn to the sale of
valuable real estate in the town Of Stella.
COON by Sheriff's sale, on the 22d prox.
A portion Of this, is the best property in
Steilacoom, and will probably be sold at q
bargain.
C. c. Hastings & Co., successors to the
well.known firm of Houston, Hastings 4
Co., Of San Francisco, appear in new form

success which has attended this firm is the

"small profits and quick returns"

CLEANING UP.-We observe that the
Town Marshal is at last doing his duty in
abolshing the nusancos attached to each
of our public hotels. Too long had the
work been delayed, and the wonder is that
pestilcncc had not swept away all who
lived within the contaminated district.
Notice was given to one hotel proprietor
more than a month ago to remove the ac-
emulation Of filth lying at his very doors,
but not the slightest notice was taken Of
the order. We do not believe there il a
town upon the coast that would have shown
like forbearance.

HARD UProR LOCALS" The Trans.
cript Of last week announces that the
steamer Libby will make regular semi
weekly trips between this place and Port
Townsend. Capt Libby authorizes US to
say that there is not a word of truth in the
statement. The same paper stated that
Messrs. Ward, Mitchell & Cooper were
about to establish store at Tumwatcr.
Mr.. Mitchell informs us that this assertion
is equally grouudless. What confidence
can be placed in newspaper which de-
seconds to actual falsehood to fill its local
column?
