a Coon APPoINThENT.-Rev. Father
Chirouse has been sppointed sub agent at
the Tulalip Reservation. Capt. Hill, who
has been Indian agent at that point here
tofore, several weeks since made applica-
ton to the Department to be relieved from
that duty and, we understand, that it was
upon his suggestion that Father Chirouse
was appointed. Although the system
adopted by the Administration of appor>
tioning ont these Indian agencies among
the different religious denominations savOrs
strongly of demagOgueism and is of ques-
tionable policy, this appointment is rather
an exceptional one and emineEtly fit to be
made.-Lnteligencer.

CLEAR HEABED.--Theodore Tilton, in
his new paper, The Golden Age, proves
that he is above the level of sycophancy
in the following terse paragraph, which
contains homely truth, too:
A number of friends have kindly offered
their advice in regard to the proper atti-
tude of this journal toward the Adminis-
tration. Fancyiugl that we have mystic
rious quarrel with the President, they are
waiting for us to strike an open blow.
This expectation must be disappointed.
Is there any good reason for an outbreak
of hostility against the Governments We
know of none 1t is as hard to be the
enemy as it is to be the friend of the pres
ent Administration, To praise it would
be unwarrantable to blame it would be
unfair. President Grants government is
too good TO be bad, and too bad to be
good. So, for the present, the least said,
either for or against it, the better.

wind hauled to S. w. and blew gale,
causing the vessel to roll heavily. At l

Mark Twain has this advice for young
men with literary aspirations: "Write
without pay until somebody offers pay.
If nobody offers pay within three years
the candidate may look upon that circum-
stance with the m nst implicit confidence
as the sign that saving wood was what
he was intended for"
Very good advice to some of the
hangers>on to the press in this Territory
who have written for the press for the
past ten years, without pay or thanks,
and still continue to spread ink at the rate
of a gallon a week.

THE WEEKLY ARGUS.
THURSDAY, MARCH. 80, 1871

We inter, from late telegraphic advices,
that the people in ;he east are coming to
believe that I be Joint High Commission
VIII amount to more of buncombe than of
earnest diplomacy; though, really, we
cau't see how the reporter for the asso-
c'ated press of California knows any more
about what the Commission is doing than
anyone else, as its sessions are secret,
and not known to those not Immediately
connected with it. The telegraph re-
porter, under date of Washington. March
20, sends the following: During the
sessions Of the High Commission during
the pnst week the relations of the two
countries 10 each other has been consid-
cred in general way with a view to
seeing what concessions might be made
by either side before any particular dis
pute shall ba taken up for settlement.
The impression which prevailed at first
was that En- gland was prepared to offer
the "olive branch" and that mere ouib-
b.es would bs discarded for a can lid and
frank avowal of outrages committed and
damages to bn adjusted. But this has
given place to a fear that England is not
disposed to make any magnanimous con-
cession, and that if any arrangement is en-
tered.into for settlement of pending ques>
tions, it would be on the basis Of an
equivalent. The Commissioners ssem
rather to incline to the plan of purchasing
the right to FISH freely in CanadiAn waters
without restrictions. which is looked upon
as an easy mode of settlement. On the
other hand it is certain that the popular
sentiment would condemn the adjustment
of our differences with England by our
agreeing to pay England money. 1t is
said neither revival of reciprocity treaty
nor payment of considerable sum for
right of fishing in Canadian waters, would
q be popular with our people.

Sorry FoR IT.-The Seattle Lntelligen-
Ger, which, by the way, is the most val
ued of our Territorial exchanges, has ia
ken up the advocacy of a questionable
policy. 1t seems to have made a sort of
back-action leap in time, and succeeded
in getting back TO the time when they
used to burn people for witches. 1t is a
wonder the editor don't go back on sewing
machines, and anathematize Elias Howe
tor having invented them! or call up the
spirit ofpoor Juhu- Watts and berato him
for concriving the application of steam Qs
a power! Bah whst-is the use of tryikg
to buck against progress If the capital
ist comes here and spends his money, it
helps the count ntry if the immigrant
comes in and buys of him, it helps him
and the country too. The "speculator :"
is the pioneer, who has confidence enough
in the country to spend his money in it,
which from his writings, wonld appear to
be more than the leader writer of the In
tcLiigencer has. Anli-progrssionisls are

April 18th, 1871

Mr.. Edttor-Our citizens are greatly
agitated at the present time, and arc
striking right and left for a remedy to
mitigate the stupendous wrongs that arc
bearing down upon them, like a huge
wave ofthe mighty deep. They have
resolved to meet in. Convention, in CO.
lumbia, to take counsel together to abate
the enormous tax, to inquire into the
billowy State debt, and the many, very
many, shameful and disssacefui f.aals
land impositions that they have been
compelled to groan under for the last
few years. Now, Mr., Editor, l highly
approve Of the meeting of this Conven-
ton, and as | also believe in striking at
the root of an evil, when I strike at all
allow me to make a suggestion and a
few remarks to those who will meet in
Columbia to form tins Convention. In
the first place, | will ask a few pertinent
questions, and answer them myself: WHO
is responsible for all the %villianics and
rascalities committed by the first Radi-
cal General Assembly, sitting as an au-
gust body, in the Capitol Of South Car.
DINA? r.. X. Scott and his horde of
carpct-baggers. Who laid the founda
ton stone and built colossal fortunes ON
the tears and groans of an outraged and
oppressed people2 r. K. Scott and his
horde of carpet.baggers. Who was the
leader, and who tue followers, in that
grand land swindle, and every other
swindle? r. X. Scott ahd his horde of
carpet-bngsersy and who has had to bear
the burden and share the odiom, without
any o: the spoils? Honest Republicans.

THE SPEECH OF CoNGRESSMAN De-

Among the r>7mbers of the present
Congress Is one Robert y. DeLarge, II
colorcd man, representing the Charles

speech delivered bJ him on Thursday,
on the Ku Klux bill, he put the very
jealous Northern champions of the col
ored race to shame by the fearlcssncss
and ~fraukness with which he discussed
the subject. He stated that he repre-,

been no ousrages since the passage of

a minority in Congress refuses to give

OF what interest is it how an election

with inferiority, and excludes him from

could so control public sentiment as TO

reconstruction final and acceptable, are
the class who are prohibited by law
from being candidates even for cousta-
bles, and who are punishable as lelons

Mr.. DcLarge tells the truth when he
states that to emancipa,c this class of
persons, perhaps the most Intelligent
and competent ofthe whole population,
and upon whom the greater portion of
taxation falls, would be to place the
control OF the Democrat organization in
those States in tie hands Of men deeply

twenty-five Democrat leaders, lei of
property, respected by all classes for
their personal integrity and their intel

will examine this question they will find
that Mr.. DeLarge has not exaggerated
