Attorney General Williams.

1t may be regarded as certain that At
torney General Williams will be elected
Senator in the place of Corbett, who
has been a mere cypher in the United
States Senate. The political signif-
canoe of States has uniformly been fixed
by the character of their Representa-
tives in the Senate. Thus Kentu ,ky
was a power in Politics as long as Clay
lived Missouri. Benton New York,
Silas Wright Massachusetts, Webster,
and South Carolina, Calhoun. So Ore
gon has alone acquired significance in
these later years, by being represented
by Williams, in the Senate. We have
seen some things in his public career to
condemn. and many t.. approve, and
shall therefore be glad to chronicle his
reelection. The Cincinnati Commercial
says
Attorney General Williams, the last
called. but by no means least in impor-
tance among the Presidents counselors,
is Western man, of strong rather than
fine qualities He is able, but not con-
spicuous as a leading legal mind among
the nations great lawyers. He is a
large, broad-shoulderAd dark-featured
man. His wife, Mrs. Williams, is called
very beautiful she is lady of about
forty years of age, though she looks
scarcely thirty has fine, commanding
figure, blonde complexion, brown hair
and fair, full features. One can with
difficulty realize, in watching the grace
full movements and charming ways Of
this lady, that Mr.. Williams is her third
husband, and that she has son grown
to mans estate. Mrs. Williams must
have found in her home on the fair Pa
cifc slope the waters of Ponce De Leon s
fountain to have SO preserved the charms
Of youth. Mrs. Williams enterh ins
graciously and gracefully /; she is very
fond of social life, and enters into it
with that spirit and abandon which
gives an added charm to social qualities.
1t is whispered that Mrs. Williams
has been ambitious for the position
which she fills with great credit. for a
long time. She has no peculiar charac-
teristics which render it target for the
malice of the envious or the sneer of
the cynic she is courteous and is suave
in her manners to all, to gentlemen she
is very attractive, adding to fine phys
ique the charm of a bright and sparkling
repartee. Her receptions have been
among the most delightful of the " sea-
son." and Mrs. Attorney General -
ranks as one Of the queens of society.

The Northern Pcific Railroad,

The Committee of the House on Pa
cifc Railroads made report upon the
resolution of FEBRUARY 10, to investigate
and report upon the actual condition of
the Northern Pacific Railroad Company.
The statement is voluminous. embrac-
ing all the evidence adduced before the
committee. The following is a brief
synopsis :
There were no charges Of any kind
whatever made against the management
of the company, and in order to meet
the suggestion made in sny communica-
tons referred to the committee or any of
its members, as well as all questions of
a general character, the committee put
interrogations to the company which
we're answered under oath. The range
of inquiry was designed to cover the ac-
tual condition of the Northern Pacific
Railroad Company, and to be exhaus-
tive. The evidence shows that no di-
rector. officer or engineer of the COM
pany is pecuniarily interested in the
construction of the road. Thus far the
road has been constructed by contrac-
tors. to whom the work was publicly let
after competitive biddings, and the clean
ness of the direction and management
of the Northern Pacific Railroad Com
pany in this regard extends to the ad-
ministration of its lands. Not a rod of
the land-grant given to the Company
has been sold, given or promised to
director or any executive officer. In
like manner it is shown that no direc-
tor, nor any other officer of the Compa-
ny, is or has been benifcially interested
in the purchase of iron. equipments, &C.,
for the road. The construction of the
road has progressed as rapidly as pru-
dent financial management and the per-
manent interest of the work permitted.
The work throughout is shown to be
of the best quality. The iron is all of
American manufacture from American
ores. There will be in operation at the
end of this year SIT miles of the main
road. Surveys for the best line across
the continent have been made. In ad-
dition to that now completed there is
under construction and preparing for
contracts, east and west of the Rocky
Mountains, 1,O31 miles of road. The
company has examined, plated and
classified of its lands in Minnesota and
in Washington territory, 1,57S, 900 acres;
81, 4,244, 600 worth of stock has been is
sued, representing 42.416 sh,,res, held
by ia different shareowners, whose
names are given. The Committee find
that the Northern Pacific Railroad Com
pany offers to its bondholders several
elements of security, and they 60 on to
recite these, concluding by the state
ment that recent thorough and careful
surveyings have left no room for doubt
that the Company s lands, agricultural.
grazing, mineral and timber-are of ex-
celent average quality, and with the
road built through them they will pos
sess a cash value which will surely pro-
vide for the payment of the bonds for
which they are now mortgaged.

A Correction.

Editor Dispatch:-Your last w.ek' s
paper contains correspondence from
Port Townsend in which find state
ment that is not correct, and upon which
I wonld like to throw little light thro'
the instrumentality of your columns.
Your correspondent states that meet
ing was held in Port Townsend, "for
the purpose of raising funds to build a
new church on q beautiful lot on the
hill, and that it was purchased through
father Prefontaine, by subscription, some
years ago."
The purport of this statement would
be that Father Prefontaine is not enti-
tied to any other credit but for having
bought the lot after the money was col
lected. l do not criticize the intention
of the correspondent; he was probably
so informed; but in order that the pub
lie may not be deceived as regards the
extent of the sacrifices that the Catholic
congregation OF Fort townsend have
made heretofore and are going to make
in the erection ola church, will say,
as a fact, that the two beautiful lots on
the hill were bought with my own
money not cent having been collecte d
in Port Townsend nor in any other part
of the Sound. Had been recognized
in the correspondence, if not as bene-
factor at least as the first and very lib
eral subscriber towards the church in
Port Townsend, I would never have said
a word; but statement so unfair could
not pass with me unperceived; for I,
like an American, love fair play, fair
statement and everything that is fair and
honest. Your humble servant.

q We have received a copy of the
brief of Henry Beard, Esqr., Of Wash
ington city in the Maynard Land Case.
Mr.. B. is an able land lawyer, and the
brief before US fully supports hisreputa-
ton. The case was submitted on the
18th inst. to the Commissioners Of Gen.
eral Land Office. From his decision al.
appeal will be taken to the Secretary OF
Interior, and it is before this officer that
the main contest will be had. There is
then, still further appeal to the Courts
who ever gets the Patent-so possibly
the contest may be protracted ONE
We hope, however, all parties will ac-
quiesce in the decision Of the Secre-
tary, when it shall be had.

fred admitted that he knew the child

contact with the passengers until the

only then upon the suggestion of pas

of the child who were in attendance
