Republican Departure

The profound eli'or e the TriJsxe re.
rirs the difference Of opinion between
Democrats a. to the policy Of re opening
the questions Of the past as issues in the
comm. political contest, as certain to di.
vide an lefe.: the Dem ,cra,ic party in
the mex, Presidential canvass. ia d;yi.
sion Of opinion upon dead issues is to have
such fatal effect upon the Democratic par
ty what will he the effect Of vital differ
cnccs upon live principles which now All
tate the Republican party? One of the
principal questions to be discussed in the
coming canvass is that of the tariff. The
Republican Convention of Ohio make pro.
lection plank in their platform; the Re-
publican Convention of Iowa denounce
the principle Of protection so do many Of
the leading Republican papers of Illinois,
Missouri AMI Indiana. The most able of
the Republican papers in the United States
have declared for universal amnesty and
against the force bill and the San Domingo
annexation scheme of Grants Admins
tration. The Republican Convention of
California denounce Chinese immigration
and railroad subsidies. Four years ago
George Gorham was run by the same par.
ty as the advocate Of universal equality of
man aud Government aid to Railroads.
Every Republican paper in California and
Oregon has within the last two years de-
nounced the Democratic party for oppos.
ing Chinese labor and Government subsi-
dies to internal improvements. Here we
have, not departure only, but decided
flop or change Of sides by the Republican
party, from one extreme to the other. To
assume that only the Democratic party can
be affected by the differences of opinion Of
its members, is to admit that it is the only
party governed by principle.

Steamer Changes.

Since our last issue a compromise has
been effected between the rival steamer
companies by which Wright & Finch
withdraw the Eliza anderson and the
Olympia from the Sound, aud Starr Bros
& Co., are in exclusive possession of the
route from Olympia to Victoria, with the
steamers North Pacific, Isabelle and Aida
Capt. Finch was the oldest steamboat
man upon the Sound and through many
conflicts has heretofore distanccd all COM
petition. Aside from the feeling cngen-
dercd by many rivalrics he rctircs from the
field with the respect of large portion of
the old residents and universally acknowl-
edged as an honorable gentleman and pub
lie spirited citizen in whose departure the
town of Olympia and the several societies
of which he was member and the most
liberal supporter, sustain material loss
The steamers which he has heretofore
commanded are to be taken to San Fran.
cisco to be disposed Of Capt. Finch, with
his family, goes to New York with the in
tention Of remaining there.
Starr Bros. & Co., in coming into the
monopoly of the business have iuaugurated
a most liberal policy, which promises to
secure them the exclusive control of the
trade and travel on the route for some time
to come. They make the passenger fares
as low as could reasonably be expected for
the accommodations afforded, and if they
continue that policy they are bound to
succeed, if not, they will have the whole
battle to fight over again when they de-
part from it.

COnflagration at Kalama! Meth
OdiSt Church Burned.

Yesterday morning a fire broke out from
a camp where two men commonly slept,
in the woods about quarter off mile east
ward of the suburbs of the town. When
first noticed, it had spread so extensively
through the dry underbrush and combus-
tiblc debris whore logs and timber had
been prepared, that all hope of smotheriog
it was abandoned; and as many workmen
and others had cordwood, railroad ties,
logs etc, lying around in vicinity Of the
fire, all interested spent the fore part of
the day in avoiding its effects to the best
advantage.
About noon the usual sea breeze reached
us, which drove the fire southwesterly
right toward and into town! 1t then be.
gan to look serious, and everybody turned
out with buckets, axes, shovcls, etc. Gen
Spraguc and all officials of the Company
together with the working force under his
command, and the whole body of citizens
used supcr-human exertions, by which it
was kept back except at the southern edge
of town, where there was Gordon of top.
brush, chips and other accumulation MS
about, amidst which were standing large
number of dead spruce trees. The fire
got into this quarter late in the afternoon,
upon which number of families living on
that side of town commenced removing
their effects and taking down the portable
parts Of their dwellings, such as doors, win
dows, etc. The Methodist church being
surrounded on all sides by combustible un-
derbrush, when tho fire came toward it,
every exertion was made to keep back the
flames, but without effect. In the mean j..
time, when people saw that the church
was bound to go, they fell to stripping it,
and before the fire took hold, the pulpit,
bell, benches, doors, windows, and every
thing about it that was possible to separate,
had been removed to place of safety
This was the only house burned but We
hear Of two hundred cords wood and cigh-
teen hundred railroad ties on the bounds
over which the fire passed; it is likely
that most Of this property has burned, to
the serious damage of those least able to
sustain the loss.-Kalama Beacon, July

FAMILY BRoIL.-It is rumored that
the distinguished loyalist, T. f. McElroy,
has purchased the controlling interest in
the Tribune, and has been appointed Ter
ritorial Printer. 1t is also said that this
arrangement is very distasteful to the Gar
felde wing Of the party, as it is supposed
to be in the interest of the Territorial Ad-
ministration. Besides this, it disappoints
the calculations of the proprietors of the
"Thirteen Thousand Dollar Printing Of
fce' lately landed at Port Townsend. We

Resolutions of the Kentucky De-
mOcracY.

Kentucky has been worse abused and
more harshly dealt with than any other
State that did not join the great secession.
Though loyal State, her slaves were
abolished without compensation both her
public men and the great body of her
citizens have been illuminated without
stint or scruple; everything has been done
to provoke and exasperate her people as if
for the purpose of subjectiug their loyalty
to the severest trial. The malgncd De-
mocracy of Kentucky held their Convcn-
ton for the nomination of State officers re-
Gently, and they confuted the libels Of their
traducers by adopting platform whose
moderation, patriotism and good sense
commend it to general approval. 1t is
short and pertinent, consisting of only five
resolutions of which these are the points
First. Full and complete amnesty for
all political offences.
Second. Equitable taxation, so distribu-
ted and apportioned that all sections and
interests shall bear their fair share, and no
more.
Third. Opposition to the usurpation by
the Federai government OF any powers
not conferred upon it by the Constitution.
Fourth. Full Endorsement of the late
address of the Democratic Senators and
Representatives, with special emphasis on
its denunciation Of the Ku.Klux and bay
onet election bills.
Fifth. Unalterable opposition to every
form Of lawlessness, and pledge to main
tain order and justice in Kentucky by ef-
icient State laws, and to resist by every
legal means the unconstitutional enact
ments of Congress.
This sound and wise platform, which
ignores dead issues and girds its loins for
vigorous fight against present abuses and
oppression, will have an excellent influence
in promoting unity of purpose and har-
mony in the Democratic ranks in all parts
of the country.

In 1870, Congress passed bill placing
on the same footing with soldiers regularly
mustered into the United States service. a
company Of 100 men, in one of the States,
known as Home Guards. The War De-
partment having entered the names on the

A CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN OF

"A OU1
OF LUcK.-R. P. Boise, the Republican
candidate for Judge Of the Third Judicial
District in Oregon at the last election, de-
clared himself a Conservative Republi.
can" uncomprisingly opposed to negro
suffrage, and pledged himself not to accept
the Office if elected by negro votes. The
result was that he failed to receive a ma
jority of the votes of the white voters and
was counted in on the negro vote. Not
willing to surrender the Office on mere
question of consistency, he accepted the
situation and qualified. But even the
negro vote which he gulped down did not
save him. Bonham, his Democratic Cd.
ponent, contested the election and has
been awarded the seat. This is hard on
Reuben, the Conservative Republican.

certain tirabcrs that friend was using in

answer came. Over hundreds and hun
dreds of square miles Of area does this uu-
equaled timber exist, astonishing for its
size, perfection and durability. Mr.. Gar.

Pacific coast, including British Columbia,
says: "Thc size of the fir trees and tho
number growing upon given acres, in good
timber districts, is almost incredible to res

length, as he has often demonstrated more
than two-thirds of which are free from
limbs. Fifty, sixty, and sometimes as high
as eighty good timber trees grow upon an
acre Of ground. Last year Puget Sound
