Tuesday morning about o'clock. the
night Waterman discovered FIRE in the
rear room Of Mr.. Tarbell's Office, on Main
Street, which had originated from the
stove, the room having been occupied by
a Legislative Committee until a late hour,
and the stove carelessly left crammed with
combustablcs upon their retiring. This
fortunate discovery has doubtless saved
many thousand dollars worth Of property,
and demonstrates the wisdom of our citi.
zens in employing a night police.

~ The Tribune in noting the arrival
of the Message press, remarks: "Soon
We shall see it grinding out laudations of
one of the most corrupt men with whom
our Territory has yet been cursed" Pity
it is that the Tribune didn't discover this
fact few years ago. The truth is Garfelde
was as much of rogue then as now, and
the Tribune deceived its readers and pa
irons when it persistenty held him up as
the embodiment of all the graces which
adorn mankind. Its opinion Of Gar6elde
10 1862 is precisely what it is now, and its
sight was only diverted for time during
the recent canvasses by looking through
golden spectacles.

Adjournment OF the Assembly.

for the past two months contributed their
herculcan labors for the benefit of the poo

day. has separated to meet no more. 1t is
a remarkable fact that the Limitation Of
sixty days was just the time required "a

would not have answered the purpose
The wisdom Of Congress in designating
sixty days as a session, will challenge the
admiration Of our people.
Our reports, though necessarily brief,
have given our readers a general idea Of
the business Of the session. The intro
duction aud the ultimate fate of every bill
has been faithfully chrouicled in these
pages. The speeches, however, have not
been reported, further than by brief synop.

tiers Of consideration. We regret that full
reports could not be published. The world
has sustained a sad loss. IT'S true that
memory may retain many Of the gems Of
Intellect there so bountiously strewn, and
may hand them down to future genera.
tons, but We sadden with the thought that
but small 1.-THE of the eloqucnce will be
thus retained. Alas that the law.givers
should have been prescribed to four narrow
walls on the frontiers of civilization, and
that their utterauccs should fall upon the
untutorcd ears of hardy pioneers Instead
Of reverberatinS from the stately dome and
and sculptured columns of the National
halls of legislation How much of mags.
ty Of thought, Of brilliancy of intellect, Of
breadth and depth of legal lore, have been
sacrificed by those inferior surroundings
How cifectually have the wings Of ambition
been cropped by the inevitable force Of
adverse circumstances IT'S painful to
contemplate the loss. ~, only to ourselves
but to the gentlemen l,ho have labored so
arduously, to promote the public veal.
The ponderous logic of Biglow has fallen
upon the ears of public unable to grasp
its mighty import the silvery tones of q
Noycs and Winans dwell but in the men,
DRY Of the past. The classical rhapsodies
of Stewart and the soul-entraucing
apostrophcs of a Smith and Joslyn
linger but as the remembrance of dream.
We fain would recall the chastc diction,
the graceful delivery, the "poctry Of mo-
sion" in which these, our idols, communed
with grosscr mortals. Vain hope! Their
words, their acts, are things of the past,
lost in oblivion, except as Inspiration
prompts some detached fragment Of elo-
quence, and watts it like the strains of an
eolian harp to the senses.
Pardon US, gentle reader, while we drop
tear to the memory Of the chain of broth

A VETo.-Gov. Solomon, probably more
to demonstrate the necessity of an orna-
mental figure head to our Territorial gov
ernment than anything else, last Wcdnes-
day evening sent in to the House of Rep
resentatives his veto Of the apportionment
bill. The act passed the Assembly by an
overwhelming vote, although. it was op.
posed by our local representatives, to re-
ward Brace for his vote to elect Republic
can Territorial officers. 1t gave to Thurs
ton an additional member of the House,
and to King and Snohomish joint men,
Der in addition to their present represent
alton, reducing Clarke to one member and
a joint Representative with Skamania.
1t also restricted the Council District COM
posed Of the counties Of Clarke, Cowlitz,
Wahkiakum and Pacific to the latter three
counties. This change was based upon
the popular vote Of 1870, when the Sound
counties cast an aggregate of $500 votes,
and the remainder Of the Territory $500,
each section, having the same representa-
ton, Is votes, in the lower House. The
injustice Of this representation is apparent
to everybody except Gov. Solomon and a
few members of the Assembly who in
their numerous trades had sold themselves
to the Clarke county delegation. Clarke
county has had for many years more than
a fair share Of representation, and Thurs.
ton less than she was entitled to. His
Excelleucy overridcs the will of the AS
sembly, however, upon the ground that the
apportionment is unequal, while he ap-
proved the bill amending the town charter
in which twice the representation is &C.
corded to a minority that is given to the
majority Of our citizens. Amazing con.
sistency! 1t will not surprise the people
of Thurston county that their representa-
tives in the Assembly opposed measure
to increase their representation, as they
do not admit that poor men have right
to vote, much less to be represented in any
legislative capacity.

Want of Success in journalism.

Some people have a mania for pub
fishing papers, and think that TO be able
TO write and have a certain amount of
capital, is all that is necessary to make
a successful newspaper. The history of
our most eminent journalists contradicts
this theory. They will tell you that
they owe their success rather TO their
knowledge of the practical than the the
Oretical or aestheical branches of tho
business. Bonner, for instance, is not n
a writer, still he has accumulated great
wealth, and has succeeded in establish
ing paper which is remarkable both
for circulation and literary ability
Printers now in this city who worked at
the Cease with him, state that he was
not only a quick and clean compOsitOr
but was noted for his regular habits, for
never varying i'm his hours, and for
working hard, early and late, to attain
the object he had in View-the accumu-
latiOn of sufficient capital to start i'm
business for himself. Henry J. Ray
mOnd tOiled for years as a reporter,
working a position of the time at sal
airy of seven dollars a week; and il was
only after years of trial that he advanced,
step by step, to the position he occupied
at the time of his death.
Our best newspaper men, If success
il TO be taken as criterion, are those
who commenced their career at the
''case," and who gained their informa-
ton while setting up the articles Of 9th
ers. There are no better judges of an
article, whether il be a political leader
or classical essay, than practical prin-
ters. Some of our best authors place
more dependence on them than they
are willing to concede. Printers have
way of smoothing and making intelligi-
BILE an ambiguous sentence, which is
peculiarly their own; the result of the
closest attention to detail.

of Massachusetts,, having aided in abol-
ishing political distinctions on account
of race, should now, i'm accordance with
its principles, proceed TO abolish political
distinctions on account of sex, and to
establish in the Commonwealth a gov
eminent of the people, by the people, for
the people, upon the basis of impartial
suffrage for men and women.
The resolution was referred accord
ingly.
The Committee on Resolutions was
ready to report early in the afternoon,
but, in consequence of the delay in set
/ tling the claims of contested delegations
and the subsequent election of candi-
dates, the platform was not read until
long after midnight, amid noise and
confusion in the intervals of balloting.
The resolution on the Woman Suffrage
question is as fOllOws:-
! Resolrod, That the Republican party
of Massachusetts is mindful OF its Obli-
cations to the loyal women of America
for their patriotic devotion to the cause
of freedom; that we rejoice in the late
action of our State Legislature i'm recog-
nizing the fitness of women for public
trusts, and that in view of the great
favor which the movement has received
from many of the Republican party, the
subject of suffrage for women is one that
deserves "a most careful and respectful
consideration.
This resolution is important and sig
nificant as being the first ever adopted
by a Republican Convention in New
England on the subject. a minority
report would have been offered in the
form of a square Woman Suffrage reso-
luton if the lateness of the hour had
not resulted in the return home of the
gentleman who intended to force the
question to an issue. From the hearty
applause which greeted the resolution in
its present form, we feel convinced that
the resolution of Gen. Briggs could have
been carried without difficulty. The
temper Of the Convention was unmis-
takably friendly.
But the fact remains. The Republi-
can party have again postponed the
question of Woman Suffrage. From
present appearances, they are likely tC
elect their candidates. But if they had
adopted Woman Suffrage platform and
enlisted the active efforts of the Woman
Suffrage party, they would have gained
many thousand votes at the coming
election, and would have placed them
selves i'm n nobler and more manly atti-
tude before the country and the world
