to the Rails difficulty appears in one of

CARD.-In view of the atrocious cal

A SENSIBLE DECIsIoN.-An impor-
tant decision has just been rendered in
Cincinnati In late case it was held
that where persons give local reporters
items for publication which prove to be
untrue or libelious, the informer is liable.
This will deter many evil-minded persons
from using the papers as a conduit for
their venom. Aggrieved persons may
bring their actions against the informer,
instead of the papers, and thus punish the
really guilty parties. There Is good
common sense in that kind of law

The vast region between the valley of
the Platte and the eastern base of the
Sierra and Cascade ranges is rapidly
filing up with stock raisers- They do
not jostle each otker; because nearly
all of them occupy as much territory as
is comprised in the smaller States of New
England. Herds of cattle numbering
from 5000 to 10000 head, are found on
the high table lands and in the valleys
while the more mountainous country
sustains focks OF sheep, which are pro-
ducing some of the best wool sent to
market. The land occupied belongs to
the Government, and at present does not
cost the occupants cent not even for
taxes. by common consent, one herds-
man does not trespass upon the territory
of another. and each decides for himself
how much is necessary to supply pasture
for his cattle.

\ New STYLE OF PoLYGAMY.-
Here's richness for you. The following
incredible story is from an Olympia CIV.
Il paper
\ few weeks ago, a man came to
Olympia from Hoods Canal with wife
that was not his own, though the couple
roomed together here as man and wife.
A week later the lawful husband came
up, but made no ado about the conduct
of the pair. On the contrary, it received
his hearty sanction, and the three made
apparently a happy family. Before
leaving Olympia, all three occupied the
same bed. A species of polygamy, this.
with the sexes reversed.

STORMY WEATHER


prevailed most Of last week. which has
rendered the bar at the mouth of the
Bay quite rough; but this morning it
cleared off and it now bids fair to be fine
for some time. Four vessels were seen
outside last evening, but the bar was too
rough to permit the tugs to bring them
in. Sometimes vessels have laid off the
bar three weeks before the tugs would
venture to bring them in. A few weeks
ago, one came up from San Francisco in
four days, and then on account ofstormy
weather, had to lay off segenteen days.
There are three tugs here one owned

the others by the North Bend Company.

ADJOURNMENT OF CoNGREss.-A
Washington telegram gives the following
reasons why it is believed that the move
ment for an early adjournment will not
prevail:
The resolution which passed the House
on Saturday for Il final adjournment on
Wednesday will probably be stopped in
the Senate, if it is not reconsidered in
the House to day and defeated. 1t ap-
the New Englanders desiring to adjourn
in order to get rid of the proposed new
apportionment, which will reduce the
New England representation in the
House; and the Democrats favoring the
same idea on general Democratic prin-
ciples of holding as short session as
possible; while there is a Republican
majority of the Western members anx-
ious TO have the apportionucnt bill
passed before adjournment, so as to in
crease their numbers in the House The
Republicans also want the Committee on
Southern outrages to make Il report, and
are anxious to enact some measure be
fore adjourning which will punish the
kuklux and protect life and property in
the South. 1t is stated by those who
have access to evidence already taken of
outrages committed, that the testimony
shows u frightful condition of affairs in
j the South; that the secret political Or
CARNATIONS known as kuklux have got
the upper hand, so that i'll many parts of
/ the South the civil authorities are power-
less to- enforce the laws; that even Il C
Democrats are becoming alarmed for their
common safety; that in short time, if
the present state of affairs are allowed to
continue, there will no be Union man
1 left in the South. In addition to the
condition of the South, it is urged that
Congress should remain in session long
enough to receive and act upon the re-
port of San Domingo affairs and the
conclusions of the Joint High Commits
sion to adjust our differences with Eng
land. The general impression is that
the movement for an early adjournment
| will not prevail.
