Mr.. Evans, the sealous concealer Of
Gar6elde's defects, realising how com.
pletely the duplicity Of his master had
been exposed by the Telegram Of Senator
Ramsey. has labored nightly to erect
labyrinth Of words, 10 which he foudly
hopes to lose such as may endeavor to fol-
low it through its devions wanderings.
We are more and m,re impressed with the
somewhat cynical observation Of a de-
parted philosopher, that Language is
given to man to conceal his ideas" This
is an illustration of the idea such as we sell
dom meet, and We shall keep the address
as specimen ofspccious sophistry hereto
fore unequalei. Time and space will not
allow Us to alude to many of the mis-
statements OF the address. nor is it indeed
necessary, for any Que with common sense
can sec how contradictory it is in itself
and with Mr.. GarfelIe's statements.
With what consumatc ingenuity Mr..
Evans can make square words fit round
holes, and how dcx:crously he can jam
other words into crevices and tuck them
out Of sight. Liberal must be the retainer
that ELECTS such zeal and skill. lie ..makes
terminus assume new Specification.
and .. Portland and columbia river"
become convertible terms, meaning one
and the same thing.
The address claims that if the road does
60 to Portland aud then come to the
Sound, the latter is a western terminus.
This may be true as far as the literal
meaning of the word is concerned, but what
docs it show for or against Mr. Garfielde's
position? Let US illustrate the popular
meaning ofthc word terms by reversing the
situation. Suppose the Northern Pacific
Railroad should come to this place or
Seattle, through some one ef the several
eligible passes in the Cascades, and then
turn alta right auglc and run to Portland
The latter place, according to Evans, would
be the terminus, but would we cnv them
their good fortune? This is precisely the
position we hold towards Portland. She
is to suck the orange and We are to take the
rind. She i. the first eastward city strucx
by the railroad and pructicully is the ter
minus. But this word terminus is thrown
in by MIR. Evans. Garfelde did not use
the term as Evans states, but boldly at.
firmcd that Portland mas not IN tie bill
The card published by Republican citizens
Of Chehalis county, and the evidence Of
every unprejudced man who heard him
here on last Saturday can be adduced to
show this
All we ask, Mr.. Evans, is fairp!ay. and
your play on words can scarcely be called
that. The address closes with offers to bet,
which indicates the corruptng influence Of
evil associations. We have never known
of Mr.. Evans proposing to gamble until he
began to do the dirty work for Garfeldc.

I@- The Tribune has fallen into such a
habit of tampering with facts that even
Holy Writ suffers when subjected to his
venal touch. In a weak article 10 the dai.
" of the I'd inst, under the caption Of
"Advice Gratis to Judge Mix" occurs the
following felicitous Proschisn, in the way
Of M attempted Scriptural parallel: "Thc
handwriting on the palace wall never told
his fate to Nebuchadnessar with more
pIainness than the meetings you attend FORE
shadow your own" Even the theological
lore Of his master, the ex.preacher, would
be put to blush by this unique anachronism
and transposition of characters, by which
Nobuchadnezzar's ghost Summoned from
its happy pastures in the spirit-and to the
royal banqueting hall, there to perform the
part of the conscience-stricken and terri
fed Belshazzar. Look a little less
askance at TRUTH" Bro. Prosch, in your
handling Of political records, and you will
meet with better success in rendering
Scripture. 1t needs no prophetic Daniel
to point out the meaning of the Meme,
meme, tekel xpharsin," written in such
plain, and to Republicans appalling charac-
ters, on the Republican horizon Of the near
future. The masses have numbered the
days Of Gar6elde Republicanism they
have weighed Selucius in the balance and
found him wanting. Their fiat will soon
90 forth as unalterable as the laws Of the
Modes and Persians.

A fit subject for squibs, truly; but the

aud Gar6eld.'s telegram i. entirely silent 90
the only point in controversy.
Gar6.lde's shifting aud shualiug on the
railroad 10 .trikingly shown 10 another
matter. In his speech at Claquato be SOL
omaly declared that he advocated the
amendment restricting the sale Of lands Of
the company to actual settlers At = price
no. exceeding s. % per acre, and that he
advised the company to accept the amend
ment, that the company would accept it
and that the bill was not dead. At that
time VIC did not know the bill had passed
the House without this amendment and
Just as it came from the Senate, aud the
latest news then received was Of date May
18th, which stated that the company had
refused to accept the amendment and that
the bill was considered by everybody as
dead. Since then the Cong ressionui Globe
of May 9Th has been received, which con.
tains the dcbltc on the bill on the 9th Of
May, the day on which Gar6elde deserted
his post at Washington. The Globe shows
that Gar6elde was allowed five minutes in
which to make his great argument, and he
consumed the time in denouncing the
amendment that he declared at Claquato
he advocated, aud he declared in his Eve
minutes speech that tho amendment would
throttle the bill and kill the enterprise.
Voters of Washington Territory, you
have the facts before you. You must de-
termine for yourselves the important con.
sidcrations involved. Can you doubt the
utter corruption Of man who, after selling
out our best interests to Oregon, endeav-
ors to cover up his perfdy by downright
falsehood. Every honorable man must
feel humiliated in contemplating Gar6clde's
position on the railroad question. He has
jumped on the engine to ride to Washing
ton, and if it blows, up he has but himself
to blame for its defective construction.

THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS

The prime object of life is happiness
We pursue it to the end of time, and for
all we have learned, after. 1t is usually
not attended with striking success, owing
to an error of mind that makes it depend
on something we do not possess. We see
this something always just ahead of our
noses; and these we follow till death
without overtaking it, or if we do overtake
it, it turns out to be something else, and
the true something is still ahead of our
time, there being really, like tomorrow
or next week, no other place for it.
Now, the philosophy of this error lies
in the fact that this something, which we
thought we knew by the smoke, had no
existence, in the sense in which we saw
it. The error lay in our thinking wrong,
looking in the wrong direction, assuming
that happiness depends on circumstances,
which. is wrong, for it depends on con-
dition. We are all at sea, and if without
anchor, our condition is bad. We may
suppose ourselves to-day about to become
happy, but tomorrow the skies lower and
we want an anchor. We had sailed with
out one, and we drift. The happiness we
were on the heels of is lost to sight.
"To sorrow
babe good morrow,
And thought to leave her far away behind;
But CHEEKY, CHEEKY,
She loves me dearly,
She is so constant to me and SO kind
For time the pursuit is given up. And
when, after while, our fears abate and We
20 back on the previous question, we find
again pursuing, under like diff
,ulties, to be continued to the end.
We know wretches who have grown

something described-they are haunted by |

THE New RAILROAD TO CARRoLLToN AMI
THE LAKE.-The commissioners of snbscriI'
tion for the Metairie and Lake Railroad
Company, give notice in another column
of an election to be held at the company's
Office on Thursday, the fourteenth instant,
for seven directors to constitute the first
board. This new enterprise is now fairly
under way, the stock necessary to enable
the company to proceed to work is being
rapidly taken, and our citizens will very
likely before the summer is over, have an
other delightful line of travel opened for
their accommodation. To effect this desir-
able consummation, it is the duty of those
of our citizens owning property or living
along the line of the proposed roads to as
sist in carrying out, and to some extent to
control the management of the enterprise,
and they should, therefore, at once take the
necessary steps toward gaining aivoice in
the election of directors and organization,
which will take place as stated above.
The rights and franchises of the company
are exceedingly valuable guaranteed by
perpetual charter from the State, an the
company will commence operations under
such favorable auspices as will insure
successful career.

INDEPENDENCE DAY.

Tomorrow, the Fourth of July, 1870,
will be the ninety-four'h anniversary of
American independence, and, although
nearly century has rolled around since
the Declaration of independence was pro-
f, claimed, the same reasons that inspired
| and moved the men of the revolution of
l776 to strike for liberty should cause the
men Of the present day to cherish and
revere their acts. When they determined
to take the responsibility Of severing the
thirteen colonies from the mother
country by declaring them free
and independent, they took step
that brought down the enmity of the
British government upon them, and
should they fail of success there was
nothing left to console them but con-
seriousness of right. But God favored
their patriotic efforts in defense of country
and liberty, and the thirteen colonies that
had been ruled by three forms of govern
ment-charter, proprietary and royal
took republican form and have in.
creased to thirty-eight powerful States,
known as the United States OF America.
Blood has recently ccnsecrated the
perpetuity and growth OF freedom
in the American Union and as the repub-
lie has been Invested of much that gave
cause for irritation among the people
much that had led to angry feelings
among sections of the common country
is there not hope now that under the guild
ance of harmonious and fraternal feel
ing, the country may achieve grander
destiny than the heroic and patriotic men
Of the revolution ever dreamed Of? This is
something that must be answered in mea-
sure by the rising gensration-by the |
young men who are fast coming upon the
stage of action. If they do their duty in
the same spirit that animated the men of
1776, then, indeed, this country has a
glorious destiny to achieve. 1t is crafty
ing to perceive reviIng feeling among
our people to celebrate the anniversary
of the birthday of the nation. This is
evidenced here by the preparations made
for various excursions to celebrate the
day,

We have received quite a number of
communications on the subject Of the
Slaughterhouse litigation and the meat
question. Some of them are ably written
for and against the monopoly-and most
of them are too lengthy for our columns.
The Slaughterhouse question has been fire.
quently discussed in these columns during
the past twelve months, and very few new
ideas are contained in the communications
before us. We must therefore decline to
publish them. The REPUBLICAN is the
paper Of the people, and must treat of all
matters interesting to the public, and not
fill its columns with articles relating to
but one subject, in which but one or two
thousand persons feel an interest. We
therefore advise persons fond of writing
on the Slaughterhouse question to send
their illusions to those one-hoIse papers,
the Picayune and Times.
The REPUBLICAN has too many other
questions of public character to discuss,
and cannot limit itself to the Slaughter
house que stion.

goblins; are Tot only without happiness,
but find their faculty for Its pursuit. il
gone forever. Others, to whom wealth
came without sacrifice. pursue on with
earnestness not one whit abated and with
uudiminished hope. So other objects, in
finite in their variety, when attained be-
come barren possessions, and the unrest
ing mind clothes new ones with the old
enchantment which, like robe, fits each
in its turn. ...
What, then, is this mystery which makes
life such a mockery? What this some
thing which, in counterfeit, shapes ever
flies as we pursue? What the anchor we
SO indispensably need? What the condi-
ton upon which happiness, overriding all
circumstances, at last depends? 1t is the
philosophers stone-the sublime con-
seriousness that we have something to rely
on, that can not be shaken by storms nor
taken from US by fraud. 1t is the rock OF
truth, which, like the ignis tatuus, may be
anything else absolutely, SO that it be
truth to US; SO that we believe in it, rest on
it, feel our possession of it; find it ade-
quate to all emergencies, know that it will
do to live by and to die by.
It may be religion or may not. If it
be, it matters not of what sort, SO that it
be sincere, and have to the possessor the
appearance of truth absolute. If it be,
it may be religion of philosophy
or one of faith. If it. be not,
if it stop short of religion and short
of philosophy, so that it bring content, it
is an anchor by which we may ride the
storm and sail on through calm, and never,
to the end, ask question or entertain a
doubt Many and many human heart
finds happiness in simply living naturally
and dying when their time comes. These
learn, without logic, as that when thirsty
they require drink; as that water quenches
thirst, and not whisky; as that the elements
of happy life are contained in the condi.
tons that surround US. These cultivate
art but subordinately, letting nature be
their first love. They are not en-
shaved by opinion, wearing the crown
of self-approbation. They live in
the affections, which are the whole
of life. Do no hurt, which is safe and
true gospel-are not deaf to the calls of
nature from whatever quarter they come,
whether from birds and brooks, and
green fields, or to that communion to
which the winters pail invites as solemn
symbol of death. But, more than all, they
are not deaf to human cries for sympathy
and endearment and supplies that so many
crave in vain, while so few seem to have
learned that these cries invite to human
and that there is no other
human road. The object never battles the
pursuer, nor turns to ashes in his hand.
So when we are grown wise and learn the
simple way to be natural (which is the
only learning, and to keep art in subjec-
ton, which is the highest art; when we |
learn to be good without effort and to d. |
right without desiring to do wrong, to
care for ourselves only in exercising care
for others, We shall have learned 10 be |
happy without pursuing it, and to-day
without taking heed of tomorrow.
