At and About Seattle.
SEATTLE, Feb. II, 1870.

OkAIAIL, CcO. IL. lSIV.
Ed. STANDARD: The past week has
been one Of life and activity in Seattle.
Tho fact that it was court week, was suffi.
Gent to call all the pcrsonagcs Of note
from the surrounding towns. Here we're
gathered "white spirits and grey" The
small number Of cases on our court docket,
and the small amount of business trans
acted, would not seem to have attracted a
very large attendance. 1t was very anus.
ing to listen, during the recess of court. to
the efforts Of the once harmonious Repub-
licans, to reconcile their differences, each
trying to convince the other that they had
ever been true to their time honored prin.
ciples. The breech widens. That "caul-
dron" is now boiling surely. The brood.
open smile wrcathing the faces of our
most prominent Democrats, of whom there
were a large number in attendance, was
convincing proof that they enjoythe fight,
and that peace and unity prevail in their
ranks. When called upon once more to do
battle against the teaches and vampires of
the Republican horde, they will pre-.
sent an unbroken front and must, under
able standard bearers achieve a victory
for Right and Constitutional Liberty.
On Wednesday court adjourned. in Or
der to allow the members of the bar and
friends to attend The funeral of George
+. Meigs, only son of George A. Mcigs, Of
Port Madison. Large numbers availcd
themselves Of the opportunity, and it was
a fitting tribute Of respect to one Of Puget
Sounds most worthy citizens.

WHAT BETEER Could You EXPECT?
The lntclliyencey is very justly severe
upon certain officers of the law who during
the late term of court at Seattle, failed to
discharge their plain and imperative duty
in several important cases. 1t instances
the case Of the Territory against Pinncll,
indicted for keeping u hurdy -gurdy house.
bradshaw, the Prosecuting attorney, son
behalf Of the Territory" asked leave to
withdraw the suit. No sufficient cause be.
ing shown, the court refused to entertain
the motion. Pinnell, who had been re.
manded to the custody of the Sheriff, until
he should give bail in the sum of $500,
had been allowed to 60 at large without
bail. Pinnell is supposed to exercise a
controlling influence upon political matters
in King county, aud probably in this hal
lucination may be found solution of the
mystery. 1t will be remembered how po-
tent was this influence in the Council Of the
last Legislature when the Seattle Charter
was the subject of consideration by that
body. Bradshaw there championed the
Pinnell interest," struck out the incorpora.
tors desired by the greater mass ofthe peo-
pie, and amended" the bill so as to almost
entirely subvert the wishes of the citizens
who applied for the charter. We agree
with the Inteuigencer, that it is fully time
"the scales should fall from the eyes of
the public as to the manner in which such
matters are carried on"

DoN'T LEARN Your CHILDREN TO LIE.
An Oregon paper relates the following
amusing incident, which contains food for
the reflection ofparents likewise: Meeting
little boy the other day, the son of a
neighbor, we asked him where he got his
new cap. The little fellow hcsitated mo-
ment, and then said: "NIother made it i;
she told me if anybody asked to say 1 got
it at the store, but l won't tell lie for the
old cap, anyhow -

obtained; and the old companions around
the poker-tablc holi their brcaths in awe
and admiration Of their chiefs greatness.
So the programme was arranged: the off,
cial heads fell in quick succession as the
guillotine moved responsive to Williams
will: the people of Puget Sound are swim
kled out Of their just rights, as we pre-.
dctcd they would be if entrusted to so cor
rupt aud sordid mountebank as Selucus
Gariclde. We mustnow content ourselves
with playing second.fldle to Oregon for
score Of years to come. How humiliating
the prospect, when apparently so we'll on
the high road to prosperity. The best We
can now expect, is the branch road from
" Portland-on.W allamct," if it may suit
the interests Of Williams and Corbett to
allow even that to come.

OLYMPIA, SATURDAY MORNING, FEB. 10, 1870
The Northern Pacific Railroad.


Considerable excitement, We learn, has
been created among the citizens of the sew
eral rival points on the Sound, by the tele-
gram announcing the determination of the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company to
change the western terminus from Puget
Sound to the Columbia river. Ithas been
the subject Of universal comment, and the
peculiar effect it will have upon the hopes
ofeach of the rival points for the terminus,
has been amply discussed. All agree in
the main consideration, that it would be
exceedingly disastrous to the Sound coun-
try to divert the Northern road from the
route heretofore proposed, across some one
ofthe eligible passes direct to the Sound.
The lsteiyigenccr affects to scout the idea
that the determination expressed has any
real foundation. 1t believes it simply a
"movc to turn the attention of land spccu-
lators from the Sound until the company
shall have located its lands" If the read
ers Of that journal can CLEAN ray Of CON-
fort from such an improbable assurance,
they must be endowed with the faith of
Moses. We do not believe the company
would SO systematically set about perpetrat-
ing lie, to secure benefit SO compare
lively trifiug as speculation in town lots,
especially when nearly every property
holder on the Sound would gladly relin-
quish three-fourths the land he owns to
secure the coveted "a terminus"
A much more probable solution of the
matter is found in the actions of the Dele
gate from this Territory. The belief was
quite firmly grounded, before this last ev-
idence, that Gar6elde had bartered the in
terests of our people, to secure the support
Of the Oregon Senators in regulating
political matters in the Territory. Gar
felle was many months at Washington be-
fore the futteriDg in the official nests be-
gun, and the Age praised the magnanimi-
~ and forbcarance which prompted him to
delay so long the use Of the official cleaver
fGsr6elde has any maguanimity in his
composition, his most intimate friends have
failed to discern it. None we're surprised,
however, that it was claimed for him, any
more than they were when he was set up
asa pattern Of temperance, sobriety, 10y
atty, honesty and piety, in the last can
vass- Nobody is 20 foolish as to believe
that the higher prompting of manhood
had anything to do with the matter. He
went to Washington with scalping-knife in
hand, and his boon companions waited long
and patiently for the cries of the victims.

In the meanwhile, Williams and Cor

grip. A railroad to the Sound would be
