OLYMPIA, SATURDAY MORNING. JUNE q, 1871
Death of Vallandigham.

Hon. Clement L. Vallandigham died at
Lebanon, Ohio, on the 18th inst, aged 40
years. The circumstances Of the death of
the distinguished deceased were sudden
and painful in the extreme. 1t appears
that he had been engaged in the defence
Of Mcclellan, charged with murder, and
was associated in the defense with Ex-
Lieutenant Governor McBurncy. lie
had based his defence upon the theory
that the murdered man had accidentally
shot himself while attempting to draw his
pistol from his pocket. McBurncy and
Vallaudigham being alone in room, the
former expressed some doubt as to this
theory. Two pistols were on the table,
one loaded aud the other unloaded. Val.
laudigham picked up the loaded pistol, by
mistake, and attempted to illustrate his
theory by placing it in his pocket and
drawing it therefrom, when it was dis.
charged, the ball entering his body from
the effect of which he died the following
day.
The deceased was a. man Of marked
characteristics with uncommon ability,
uutiriug industry. iuordioate ambition /;
with self assurance that recognized no re.
buff, aud stubborn will that no obstacle
could divert; his manner was offensive,
impcrious and pictorial to the last degree,
and his selfesteem so manifest and obtru-
sive as to be little short Of insulting to all
with whom he held intercourse and ye,
his honesty aud sincerity were so evident
As to command the respect of his fellows
and his patriotism was unquestioned By
those who knew him most intimately. HI
was an unsafe political leader, but gal
liant aud determined worker for the success.
Of his party. Had age been permitted t.
molify the extravagances of his earlier
manhood, he would hare become an abb,
and useful statesman From the Congress
sional Dictionary we copy the followin.

The Rev. NJ kimhall delivered v,ry
interesting an e'"1uen' address on Sunday
evening lat; in the IIallof the Good TEN
plars'. upon the sutjeci Of 4" Mans rela-
ton to God" taking his tex, from Eccle.

r-h'; bu, they have sought out many in.
ven'ious" THIS. affirmed the speaker. is
the rni'arian belief upon the subject In
regard to the nature Of God, and Of Jesus
Christ. alluded to in previous discourses.
it WAS to be expected tina. amongst theolo-
gians there should be differences Of opin.
ion arising from the incapacity of man to
comprehend the infinite, and the incom-
pletencss of information relating to events
which occurred upwards Of two thousand
years ago, and scattered over but few
pages. In relation to nan, whose nature
has continually been exhibited before
them, it might be supposed that Lere
there would be found some common ground
for general agreement, but strange to say,
here likewise existed the most marked DIFF
fercnces. In the confession of faith of
the Westminster divines, from which he
read, was set forth the belief in the to-
tai depravity of man; doctrine that had
not only been held by the Episcopaliaus, but
endorsed by Presbyterisns and Congrega-
tionalists In this article of faith was set
forth the belief, as a result of the sin
Of our first parents, every one born from
that period to the present day was tainted
by the original sin. In contradistinction
to this view, the Unitarian belief was that
man at the present day is created in the
image Of his Maker, just as he is repre-.
scented to have been in the first pages of
the Bible. Common experience, lie Oh
served, teaches that mans character is
largely dependent on the conduct Of his
progenitors, whose tendencies are some.
times very fully transmitted, but nevertIe-
less, in every man is implanted the good
ness Of the Divine Nature. The essence
of Christ's teachings was love, but what
sense or reason was there in asking for the
exercise ofthis love, if man from his cradle
was so totally depraved as represented ?
Doubtless the orthodox belief in this mat.
ter had been productive of a lebasins in.
auence upon mankind, and was contrary
to the teachings of Revelation. There
was nothing to justify the beliefin mans
natural depravity, because children were
not spiritually inclined. The nature Of
children, in their first tendencies, before
the reflective faculties were developed
partook of the animal character, and con.
duccd to physical growth, and when
properly developed was prepared to ad
vance the intellectual and spiritual. The
mistake often made by parents was, the
forcing of religious instruction upon thei1
children before their little minds were
ready. In conclusion. the speaker said
the orthodox creed was Faith iu Goa
faith in Christ; to these, the Unitarian:
added, Faith in Man.

COLUMBIA ENGINE Co.-The Cones"
met last Wednesday night to consider bids
for the wainscoting and plasterug their
engine house. Considerably competition
was manifested, and the successful bidders
were Mr. Craig for the carpenter work
and Mr.. Frost, for the plastering. The
cost Of finishing the room will not exceed
500. In stating this instance of the en-.
terprise Of tho company, we venture to
affirm that no company 90 the coast, with
no better advantages, can make better
showing of public spirit and devotion tc
the object of their organization. During
the six years the company has been in
existence, they have collected of COM
any funds aud speut for the benefit Of
the Town and the fire. apparatus not
less than $500 being annual average
of $500 In one year the Treasurer
books show $500 received aud dis
bursed for hose, hose carriage, and in
cidental expenses, and the succeeding year
show the company figuring as $1,000
contributor for an engine room and meet
ing room in the Town Hall. In fact the
original idea of many of the contributors
was simply company hall but the plan was
subsequently enlarged and the Town Hall
was the result. The company has at times
struggled for an existence, against the as
saults of some of our citizens who should
have been foremost in extending it their
aid and cooperation, but it has survived
all this, and is noted for the uuanimi,y aud
cordiality existing among its members

Now. sir, | re;,lls feel glad that the time
has apparently arrived when people begin
to ask for evidences" and proofs" of
thi, or that particular religious dogma, be
fore they are prepared 10 receive them.
Ii strikes me, however that in this partic
ular instance, Spiri,ualists have acted more
consistently than any Of tie orthodox
churches Of the present time, for 1.-The
lectures invited her hearers to investigate
Sprtualism"; but when do We hear Gny
Of the orthodox priests invite their hearers
to investigate any Of their particular ten.
cts? Do they not nvari. b y expect their
hearers to believe, without evidence or
proofs, whatever they teach? True, l
may be told. that the orthodox doctrines
are plainly taught in the Bible; but ask
in reply, DO not Spiritualists also believe
that Spiritualism is taught in the same
Book Each party will bring "eviden-
ces" and "proofs" therefrom, strong
enough no doubt to satisfy themselves that
they are right. but as they believe differ.
emily, can they both be right? Ifnot, we
must look elsewhere for " evidences" and
proofs" Do the orthodox churches offer
US any other kind of evidence
Mrs. Virgins, in her several discourses
here, has certainly endeavored to promul-
gate the doctrine which, as understand
it. is held by Spiritualists generally, viz :
That all in search Of truth have the means
of satisfying themselves whether the Spir-
itualistic teachings are right or not, and
by simply meeting together occasionally
aud forming circles" &c, many may, by
that means, become fully developed spirit
mediums, and thus satisfy themselves and
others, respecting the truth Of what they
have been asked to believe.
Spiritualists court investigation, and
ask no one to believe that which is desti.
tute of evidence" and "proof," but for
each one to prove" for himself, aud not to
rely upon the assertions of others.
ONElN SEARCH OF MORE LIGHT
The gist Of our correspondents commu.
nication is to show the possibility of our
being convinced Of the truths Of Spiritual.
ism, if We would attend the circles, &c,
and put ourselves in the way Of gaining in
formation. This may be true, but in the
meantime it puzzles us to comprehend how
Sprtualists can possibly know, as asserted
by Mrs. Virgins, THAT if those in the
Spirit World who are suffering in conse
quence Of life of wretchedness, would
show yearning for higher spiritual life
miuis:erips angels would be sent to thei'
assistance.

DEFALCATIONS IN THE POSTOFFICE--
ARREST OF OFFICIALS.


Nep York, September 13.-The SIN
says: For the last week OF ten days there
has been great excitement among the clerks
and employees Of the postotfice. Suspicious
of heavy defalcation in the money depart
ment have been rife on all sides. But few
of the actual facts have yet come to light,
but enough is known to show conclusively
that one high in trust has defrauded the de-
partment of large sums. 1t is known that
John w. Norton, assistant postmaster UNI
der the late James Kelly, and lately super
intcndent of the money order department,
is defaulter to the extent of 800, 900 to
$50, 900. Norton drew on the United
States assistant treasurer at the sub-treasu-
ry for Sl42, 900, ostensibly for use in the
postoffice department. This money he is
known to have used in sundry stock specu-
lations in Wall street. He has not been
seen in his office for ten days. He is the
owner of valuable property in Jersey,
where he resides. Among other things, he
has sported $40, 900 race horse. He was
arrested at his residence, and his property,
including the horse, seized. lie compro-
missed with the government, however, and
resigned.
John Moon, a clerk in the postoffice, has
been detected opening money letterS. lie
was arrested and held in $4,000.
Mr.. Gould, a saloon keeper in Mason
street, and brother-in-law of Moon, has
given bail for him. He has been employed
in the office twenty-five years, and owns
valuable property in Brooklyn. Many
other employees are suspected of Similar
scrimcs.
From information received yesterday at
the Iostollice, it appears the defalcation
amOants to $!l5, 900 drawn from the trea-
sury in various sums during the last year
and half or two years. TO make restitu-
ton Norton surrendered his whole property
to the authorities, including fine estate at
Plainfeld, New Jersey, several valuable
houses and a large farm. As the value OF
the real estate alone is more than sufficient
to cover the defalcation, no process was
issued against him, and it is not likely he
will be prosecuted.

1t is now generally believed, says the
Baltimore american, that when Professor
Agassiz predicted that a great tidal wave
would sweep along certain portions Of the
sea coast of the United States he intended
to say that the wave would not be an
aqueous one, but a political deluge, and
that its first ripple of any moment would
be felt on the Shores of California, and that
it would then almost instantly pass on to
the other extreme portion of the country
and lave the shores of Maine. At all
events, if the Professor did not predict such
"a wave, it has come to pass, and will ere
long sweep away many composts oil Dem
s,aratic corruption that have grown rank
y9n the shores of the country.
