Letter from Garfelde.

. Characteristic letter from "our Dele
gate" to explain his inacticn in regard to
the settlement. Of conflicting claims to the
lands Of the Puget Sound Agricultural
Company. The explanation is sufficiently
elaborate to cover all the points at issue,
but the writer only succeeds in making
Confusion worse confounded." His con-
illusions are certainly worthy the logical
aeumen of Jack Bunsby: "If the facts
are 30 aud so, then the conclusion is so and
so; and if the facts are not so and so, then
the conclusion is not so aud So" The
very questions which we're delegated to
Mr.. Gar6elde to have settled in order that
the settlers and adverse claimants might
have peace" without ruinous and inter-
minable itigations, he refers back to the
people as beyond his ability to determine,
protesting at the same time his disinter-
ested devotion both to the interests Of the
settlers and the adverse claimants. Like
the Z" Captain" in the Besgar's Opera,
he exclaims
SLOW happy could be with either,
Were t'oiher dear eharmer away"
What both the settlers aud adverse
claimants ask Of Mr. GarSelde is, tina: their
rights should be determined By decision
Of the Commissioner, or uniform rule Of
Inv. Clearly defining the sane. He tells
them:
