to Election Gamblers

Important to Election Gamblers.
On the opening Of the Court on Tuesday,
the 14th inst, at Port Townsend, Chief
Justice Jacobs gave lengthy opinion in
the election bet case of Fowler vs. Cal
houn, from which the Message condcnscs
as follows:
this is a civil action to recover money
bet on the result of an election, made after
the election had taken place, but before
the result was known. The bet conceded
the election of Mr.. Garfelde, but was on
the majority he would receive. The bet
was made between Capt. Hyde and Capt.
Fowler, and DR.. Calhoun, the defendant,
was stakeholder for tho parties. AS soon
as, Capt. Fowler believed or knew that he
had lost, he served notice on DR.. Calhoun
not to pay over the money deposited by
him. In other words, as soon as Capt
Fowler became convinced that he had lost
by what is known as the lar ofhonor, he
took the necessary steps to save himself by
the 1aw ofhe land
His Honor continued that all bets made
upon elections are illegal, as contrary to
public policy; that their tendency is to
corrupt and dchauch the public morals and
to interfere with the purity of the ballot
box that while the law makes it a crime
for public officers or others to tampcr with
the ballot box, or to interfere with or inAu-
cnce voters, simply because opposed to pub
lie policy, equally so is bet upon an elcc-
ton or given majority, because the ten
dcncy is to corruption by unlawful inter.
ference. His Honor further remarked
that if Capt. Hyde suffered loss from vi
olation of what is known as the law of hon
or, this Court does not administer that law
or compensate for its infraction. If the
parties trusted to that and suffered loss, let
them look to its tribunals for compcnsa.
ton.
Judgment was therefore entered for
plaintiff.

RAILROAD RUMoRs-The sensitivencss
of the people of this section in regard to
all matters affecting the railroad, has been
exhibited during the past week in the ex.
element caused by the rumored changes
in the management of the Company, and
the evil forebodings growing out of the
same. These rumors arise from the fact
that the annual election of Directors took
place on the 9th inst, and information has
been received that several changes have
been made in the Board, but it is not yet
known here what those changes are All
beyond the fact Of such changes is mere
conjecture. There is no reason to believe
that change of officers will at all affect
the direction or progress Of the work.
That depends solely upon the sale Of bonds,
and the latest advices from the fiscal agent
are hopeful and encouraging. The first
section from the Columbia River towards
the Sound is being vigorously prosecuted,
and the party of engineers under Col. II.
G. Ward, are pushing the locating survey
in this direction, regardless of the pitilcss
storms to which they are exposed. We
see no cause for dependency in these in
dications.

ANOTHER HEAD OFF.-Thc telegraph
news from Washington contains the start
ling intelligence of the decapitation of the
leader of the Senate. Charles Sumner,
for eight years Chairman of the Committee
on Foreign Relations and the acknowledge
ed head of the Republican party in the
Senate, has been formally cashiercd and
reduced to the ranks, and to complete his
degradation, he is superseded by Simon
Cameron, a man without culture or single
qualification Of a statesman--a wealthy
boor, rank with the odor of sharp practices
and damned to perpetual notoriety by the
Congressional records as a public thief.
IF Preston Brooks made himself infamous
by showeriug ignominious blows upon that
classic head with guttapercha walking
stick, what will be the reward of those of
his own party who have put upon him this
much more humiliating indignity-cveu
wv We i"udtlou VI tldI icdu UeIOW tl1C OF
a convicted felon ? The distinguished Sen.
ator had the temerity to denounce the
Presidents San Domingo job as unlawful
for this the President demanded his head,
and subscrvient Senate obcyed the edict.
1t was conflict between brains and animal
force, and was determined as all of Grants
successes have been, by mere brute force.
"Time was when the brains were out the
man would die" The Radical party has
never been restrained by such considera.
ton. 1t regards money and physical power
as superior elements of success to intellect.
The few men Of brains who first gave
character and vitality to the Republican
party-Chase, Seward, Fessenden, Trum.
bull Sumner, and othcrs-havc been thrust
into the back ground, and the leadership
assumed by audacious Adventures like
Butler, Logan, Cameron, and the like
refuse of the old Democratic party in its
better days.

Olympia Branch Railroad.

At a meeting of the Railroad Committee
held on Thursday evening last, the follow
ing proceedings were had:
\ form Of proposal to the Northern Pa
cific Railroad Company was submitted for
the consideration Of the Trustees, which
was read. approved and adopted.
The Trustees recommend that the prop.
cr:y-ho|1ers on Buld'3 Inlet donate orc
half of their land to the Northern Pacific
Railroad Company to secure railroad con-
ncction with the Columbia River.
On motion, the Committee agreed to sc-
tain all deeds in their hands until the
property holdcrs have generally contribut-
ed. and not record the same unless the
movement is general.
On motion, the Chairman was instructed
to take such steps and appoint such COM
mttecs to solicit donations of land to the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company as in
his judgment is considered most desirable.
There being no further business the
meeting adjourned.

\ PERMANENT TniNG.-Recent adyices

\ PrgMAxaNr THISG.-Recent adyices
from Wa.hin ston state that Garieldc has
purchased residence in that city, and
there intends to spend the remainder of
his days 1t is sail that he has grown
tired of his position as claim AGENT" as
he contcmptuously styles the Office of Del
cga,c. and confidently expects to represent
Washington in the L. s. Senate before his
term Of office has expired, and to have
Williams for colleague. In fact the pro-
srammc is said to have been definitely ar
ranged between these worthless, and We
may expect a carpct-hag raid from Oregon
by this played out dcmagoguc at any time
Upon what meat does this, our Sclucus
feed, that he is grown so great? When
he sat upon the log in Mason county few
years ago he ardcntly cravcd the position
of Delegate. When he farmed out sur
veying contracts, and manipulated John.
son committees he coveted the much de-.
spiscd position of "mere claim agent"
And when years before this he traded OK
en- in Democratic convention to secure
his nomination, the first born aspirations
Of his mighty gcnious were devoted to this
now pitiful object. We hope the news is
true, however, for the stcrcotypcd oratory
of Selucius begins to pail even upon the
ears of his most devoted boon companions
1t will not be necessary for him to harrangc
the multitude and begin his speech with a
feeling allusion to the delicate" state
ofhis health, and close with his usual per-
Grafton of the wilderness, where now the
echo of the church going bell finds re.
spouse in the hearts of God fearing peo-
plc," when his business can be managed in
Legislative caucus. So we have this conso-
ton, and trust he will indulge himself in
such anticipations to his hearts content.
Pride must have a fall, villainy must be
exposed, and we trust that when he does
fall it may be from the topmost round to
which his imagination can carry him, that
he may be the more thoroughly buried in
the evidences of his own corruption.

PROPOSAL TO THE NORTHERN PACIFIC
RAILROAD COMPANY.


RAILROAD COMPANY.
In consideration of the sum of one dol
lar to in hand paid by the Northern

covenant and agree to convey to said Com
pany, by good and sufficient deed, the
following described lands:
Provided, That the said conveyance
shall be made after the performance of all

1st. That the said Company shall on or

REMOVAL OF toLLE'rvR 'Rtw.-Thc
Tf,GsRc learns from source entitled TO
son.c credit. that W l. Marshall oe Phil
alclrhia, has been appointed Collector Of
Customs of the Puget Sound District, rice
~ :. Prev, removed.
There are several conclusive reasons for
crciiting this report. Some of the recent
acts of Collector Drew would not be tolcr-
atci By any honest Administration. though
that is not conclusive against him under
present rule. The seizure Of a vessel on
the charge of smuggling, and releasing the
same By compromise without trial, is either
leyying black mail or compromising felony,
and is conclusive evidence of gross igno-
rance or criminal design, either of which
should be sufficient cause for removal.
\ better reason, however, for believing
this report is, that it is in accordance with
the policy Of the present Administration,
to fl all the paying Federal Offices in the
the Territories with carpet, basgcrs instead
of residents, and to change frequently in
order to give as many as possible of its re-
taincrs access to the public crib. For his
services in the last election, Mike Drew was
awarded short lease of this office, and if
during the eight months in which he has
held it he has not reimbursed himself for
time and expenses incurred in the election
of Gar6elde, he has not met the cxpccta-
tious Of his party friends. 1t will be re-
mcmbercd that during the canvass the
report that Drew was to have this appoint
mcnt in case Garfcldc was elected, was so
damaging to the prospects ofthe latter, that
both came before the public with protests
that no such arrangement was contcmpla-
ted, but it was, nevertheless, carried out
as soon as possible after election. If Drew
gets a shorter term than he bargaincd for,
he has the reflection that he helped to de-
ceivc others, and is only partaking of the
fruit of the tree he helped to plant.

its Terms are "25 cts. per year in adj

cover Railroad Tax for the Muscatine
Western, we suppose.) If we reccol-
lect right, the BLADE says that Master

AFORGER IN TRAINING?-Gleaning
over the Register Of the fremont

struck by the almost illegible but ia

Treasurer of the United States, fol-
lowed by the peculiarly old-maidish
sign manuel Of Il. T.. Chittenden,
Register Of the Treasury. We laid a
greenback down by the side of them,
and made careful comparisons-and
the resemblance was, so far as we
could see, rs close as the resemblance
would be between mans own sigma
lures made at different times. We
don't know who wrote those names
on the Hotel Register-whether he's
II forger in training or nOt-but we
don't want him to sign our name to a
hundred thousand dollar note, any
how.

THE GREAT CAMp-MEETING.-
Saturday afternoon we went out for a
short time to the Seventh Day Ad-
ventists' Camp-meeting in the grove
two and half miles north of town.
The grounds are very shady and
pleasant. There were some twenty or
thirty family tents pitched, ranged in
circle or square, beside large tent
for meetings. We were introduced to
Elder Canright, of Monroe, who
courteously gave us all information
asked for. The occasion was the An
nual State Conference and Camp
meeting of the Denomination. The last
Annual meeting was held ut Marion,
Linn County. At the time of our visit
there were about 400 people camped
OH the ground, from nearly all parts
of the State. Some had come over
200 miles in their wagons. Elder
White, whom we understand to he
the leading Elder of the Denomina-
ton, arrived, with his wife, Oh Satur-
day forenoon, from Battle Creek,
Michigan. Elders Littlejohn of Mich
igan, Butler of Mt. Pleasant, and
Canright of Monroe were also present.
At the close Of the services on Satur-
day afternoon, some 60 persons came
forward for prayers. Up to the time
at which we write, the exercises Of the
Meeting had been in every way pleas
ant, orderly and uninterrupted.
After the above was penned, we
were at the grounds again on Sunday.
Elder White preached in the fore
noon, explaining the specialties of the
Denomination. Mrs. White preached
ut in the afternoon, a hortatory SER
mon. The attendance was large, hun
dreds being present from this vicinity
in addition to members of the Demon
nation.
Elder Canright has very kindly
furnished us a statement in regard to
the Meeting and the Denomination,
which our readers will find to be in
teresting and authentic.

A NEEDY WANDERER.-Last Fri
day night an oldish German, appar-
emily an intelligent man, but utterly
destitute, stopped at Mr.. Larkin
Wrights residence, west of town, and
humbly asked food and shelter for the
night. or course he was accommoda-
ted cordially. He had come from
somewhere near Cincinnati, and had
been up in Sioux County, to look up a
home-andhis wanderings had brought
him to want. We hope he may see
better days in the future.
