EpIroRs rRlBUNE ~ sec the news
papers in this Congressional District, and
some outside Of it, ARE beginning to make
the inquiry as to who shall be the sue
ec.sor to Col Cobb in representing us in
Congress. Quite a number Of names have
been mentioned for t'c honorable posi-
s.un, and presume either OF them would
make good representative if elected.
As enc of the people, like others have
preference and while | would not say u
word against others, | have no hesitation
N giving it as my opinion, based upon
what little observation | have been able
90 make, that Hon Allen Warden, of
Darlington would be quite as acceptable
20 the people as aay man whose name
has been mentioned for the Office lie
~ not man mixed up in any political
cliQues whose object appears to be to
guide public sentiment in the choice OF

Of the party to which he belongs. As to

tended through many years, and | have
ever found him faithful to every trust
Gcposed in him His acquaintance with

the peoFle in this portion OF the State,
taken IN connection with his ability for
the position, are reasons sufficient Tor
mentioning his name at this time and
Urging his claim for the Office | do so
more checrluIly from conviction that
while some others may be promising
much to leading and influential men to
secure their aid, Mr.. Warden cannot be

whited sepulchers and rotten prostitutes, to
pound and kick their women upon the public
Streets in open daylight, when those wretches
are unable to come to time with money, ac-
cumulated by their sin, to support these loafer
ont casts. The latest edition Of this revolving
and degrading practice, occurred on Wednes-

offender, who had Just been released for the
same offense, met his woman" Molly Clark,
ON the street, and, upon her inability to give
him fifty cents, he proceeded to strike and
kick her most inhumanly. He was arrested
and arrligned before Justice Mayhugh on
Thursday, and his courtroom being too small
TO hold the crowd Of indignant and curious
spectators. an adjournment was made to the
District Courtroom. The jury returned n
verdict of guilty, and yesterday morning he was
sent up for six months. The defense urged
that a man having the right TO whip his wife,

BUTLEn's 0rIS1oN.-The New York Herald,
IN noticing the fact that General Butler, Of
Massachusetts, was at the Aston House, SAYS;
The General expresses the opinion that
there is no use for the Republicans to com.
mence laying pipe for the next Presidency, or
any other Presidency, Unless they radically
change their financial policy.
General Butler thinks chat eventually the
colored population will go for Reputation.
They have seen enough to see, he argues, that
il is not To their interest TO help pay an enor-
nous national debt which they had no hand
in creating"
There is sagacity in the above, for what
ever Butler may be, no one ever accused him
of being IA fool. There would be beautiful
moral retribution to the bond holding inhu-
ence, which, by fraud and force, has assisted
to foist negro suffrage upon the South, to find,
IN the end, that their iniquitous debt has been
repudiated by the aid Of their proteges. II
the negro is to vote, this will probably be the
case. .. r.. ..

Poor SoUSD.-The Sound is one Of the
finest sheets of water it has ever been my for
tune to see. 1t varies in width from FIVE to
twenty miles, while il is over one hundred
miles in length. There are quite a number Of
bays or inlets, which generally have saw-mill
at their heads. We stopped at two places,
Port Gamble and Port Madison, before arriv-
ing here, which we did ut four o'clock in the
morning, and landed with rain overhead, mud
underfoot and darkness surrounding. The
Sound, on both sides, is covered with dense
forests of pine, which supplies about twenty
mills with timber for making lumber, and
these mills give employment, directly and in
directly to between 10000 and 10000 men,
besides about 100 vessels running on the
Sound, and also to and from San Francisco,
the Sandwich Islands and great number Of
other places. ~. %
The Sound abounds with fish Of different
kinds There are mackerel found here in
great abundance, but as yet no fisheries are
established to catch and put them up for mar
