A SNEAK Some anonymous rascal
has been imposing upon the stupid credu-
lily of Enoch Adams the story that the
editor Of the STANDARD, once upon time,
forged election returns in Wisconsin. This
invention is purely fictitious, and therefore
not attributable to the " Major" who has
not the wit to concoct q circumstantial
falschood, though he has the means of
giving currency 70 the malicious falsehoods
invented BY those who have not the cour-
age to father their own lies. IF his sense
was equal to his malice the " Major" would
be dangerous man instead of mischicv.

NAVIGATION CLOsED.-We learn from
Portland that navigation is closed on the
upper Columbia and on the Willamette by
the zee; and also that the overland mail
is blocked by snow on SCOTS and Siskiyou
Mountains. Thus is the great commercial
city Of Portland. on the. W allamet," cut
off from communication with the white
settlements for an indefinite period-it may
be two months, and it may be more-ex.
ccpt an occasional express carried on snow
shoes or skates, as in the interior of Siberis
or Alaska, while we, here on. the outskirts
Of civilization, are accessible to steamships
and sailing vessels to all parts of the world
every day Of the year, and can travel from
this point to the southern extremity of the
Territory without passing over an inch of
snow. How do these facts correspond with
the assumption by the Portland papers, a
short time since, that the completion
Of the railroad between the two, points
would make the trade of the Sound country
tributary to Portland. The laws ofcom.
morce would reverse the proposition; it
would present curious anomaly far the

=" Up-SsNAd Disappointnents.-

Under the above caption the Seattle H.
teH;sencer makes some unjust, il not ILL.,.
natured, reflections upon the citizen. Of
Olympia touching their efforts 70 procure =
railroad connection, and quotes the sdmis-
sions Of the STANDARD - the basis Of ID
remarks. So far as the people Of Olympia
are concerned, We have not observed any
public act or expression calculated in the
least to provoke rivalry with Seattle or the
taunts of the able and jealous newspaper
organ Of the latter aourishipg town. The
STANDARD, VIC know, has never entertain.
ed or given vent to any opinion or senti.
ment adverse to Seattle, or calculated in
any degree to detract from the magnificent
advantages possessed by that town for a
large commercial city, and has omitted no
reasonable opportunity of commencing the
energy and ability with which the 1ntelI.
genccr advocates the interests Of its town.
Olympia is the last place on the Sound
to deserve tho taunts or snecrs ofiotllers
for selfish demonstration or indecent zeal
in reference to the direction or termination
Of the railroad. Few, if any, Of or inau-
entail citizens have sought to make this
town the final terminus of the road, or for
any thing more in relation thereto than q
connection, and in this matter they have
certainly not thus far been disappointed,
and to all appearance are quite as likely
to be grati6cd in their wishes as arc the
people Of Seattle. There is not, or ought
not to be, any rivalry between the two
places. Olympia has no rivalry with any
place upon the Sound, except one origina-
ting with few spectators among her own
people, who have engaged in scheme of
private speculation to destroy the town for
their own personal benefit. We have not
laborcd for the exclusive benefit Of any
local interest, but for what we regarded as
of the most general interest of the country
bordering upon the Sound. We entirely
agree with the recommendation of Eng-
neer johnson to the Northern Pacific Rail.
rord Company, to give every town upon
the Sound railroad connection on liberal
terms. This would give Olympia the first
advantage of the road coming from the
Columbia River. When the road is CON-
pletcd over the mountains Seattle would
have the greater advantage by reason of
its being at the eastern extremity Of the
navigablc waters and its superior marine
facilities. After these CONNECTIONS arc
made, the probabilities are that the Com
pany will find it absolutely necessary to
extend the road down the Sound to point
as near the ocean line as practicable, in
order to successfully compete with the
British overland railroad for the. carving
trade between Asia and Europe. In the
meantime, all the towns and surrounding
country on the Sound may enjoy the ad-
vantages of the railroad without detriment
to each other, and the causes for jealousy
or rivalry between them are only imagina.
ry and actuated by churlish spirit.

A New TowN.-Thc place selected on
the Columbia River for tho commence
ment Of the construction of the Northern
Pacific Railroad, is about FIVE miles above
the mouth Of tho Cowlitz River, with
good landing and fine town site. There
will be large amount of business ncccssa.
rily done at that point for year or too; it
is accessible to ocean steamers when the
towns above are blockaded with ice; and
should the Company conclude-as is very
probable--to make that their terminus for
several years, it will in that time undoubt-
eddy become the most active business town
on the River, and seriously effect the trade
Of Portland.

at one time. The hall was beautifully

with the tasteful uniforms Of the two COM

Snnnish Troons Tor Cmnn.

Some six months ago, and when Gen. DE
RoDAs had learned from sad experience that
the forces tlien at his command were in.
efficient for the suppression of the Cuban
revolution, he sent 20 Spain pcrcmptory
rcquisition for 10000 men. The reinforce
'uent was as porcmptorily refused by the
Madrid Government.
About six weeks ago, and on or about the
date when the political jobbers who now
'onlrose the Ministry ut Madrid believed
lNt NAPOLEON would instruct the Bank of
Froncc TO loan them twenty-five millions
of dollars, they telegrophed TO Gen. De RopAs
inquir ~ what reniofccmcnts were neccs-
sary to wind up the instruction. His reply
was that lie required none, because Cuba
was entirely paciGed. Subsequently, how.
ever lie applied for more men, and was
promised 1000 in October and now he tele
"raphs that atleast 1?,C00 are absolutely in.
d.sp-usable
TIE Spanish Cortcs in their last session
Aecrcod for the government of Cuba four
most important measures. They were: The
gradual abolition Of slavery the return OF
coniscated property; the disbandment of
volunteer corps organized since the 2Sth of
September, 1868; the suppression of the
cisiaos or political vigilance committees
Tho laws relating to these measures Gen.
DE- RopAs, as tho representative of the
Spanish Government in Cuba, was instruct
cd to publish and en- orcc. Each of these
measures IL a fatal blow at the volunteers.
So thev buy the Captain-Gencrel over to
their SIDE, and he refuses to obey the Home
Government.
II troops are good for anything, their
most legitimate province is TO enable the
Executive to carly out by force, when other
means fail all laws that have been legally en-
acted Ii, therefore, Spain sends fresh troops
70 Cuba. her sole object must be TO enforce
her laws there aud TO do this, she must
send them In sufficient numbers to disarm
and disbnnd the volunteers. This is the
vital point. No possible emancipation. how
ever gradual, can be inauguratcd, no confs-
Gated property can be returned no casinos
can be suppressed while the volunteers have
arms in their hands and SO long. of course,
It ID absurd TO talk about conqueIing the
Cubans
But Spain has probably learned by the
cruel treason OF those she most trusted. that
the climate Of Cuba md the communion of
the slavotraders Of Havana are demoralzing
TO the starving recruits whom she might
send there and that every so-called Spanish
solder is, twenty -four hours after landing in
Havana, only another impediment to the
enforcement Of her colonial legislation.
Spain viii send no further endorsements
to Cuba. Possibly the agents in Madrid of
the chiefs Of the volunteers may, in tho pres
ent deplorable condition of the Peninsula,
be enabled by large bounties TO swell the
ranks OF Spain's Transatlantic enemies but
the Spanish Government now has no more
power in Cuba than in Peru.
