The weather yesterday was quite
warm, and to-day will be a scorcher for
those whose duties require them to visit
the landing. The river is falling very
slowly here, but more rapidly at Cairo
and above. The Missouri is the only
Western stream indicating any rise, and
that will be but light. The Illinois and
Ohio, with the tributaries of the latter,
are falling, as also are all lower streams.
Low water and Fly time" are expected
a month earlier than usual this season.

"NOT DEAD."-Under this caption the
Courier makes fling at Senator Kelly, of
Oregon, by stating" that as the people of
that State had no word from him, it was
generally supposed that he must have died
shortly after leaving" This is refreshing,
to say the least, from journal that is the
especial advocate of man who never is
within call of his constituents except about
election times, when he awakens for brief
period from the lethargy for which he has
become SO widely noted. Is not this the
hight of impudeuce 10 the serfs of a man
who was compelled to fabricate story Of
lost trunk" to palliate his neglect of
his constituents interests ? Senator Kelly
can Withstand the attacks Of men who pos
sess no more self.respect than to make
themselves the mere tools of q selfish and
mercenary political adventurer.

WHY IS 1T ?-The Courier flies the

columns without single word to indicate
by what authority he is placed in the field
as a candidate for office. For Delegate

nominated by the delegates to the Terrific.
rial Convention at Kalama," the announce.
ment stands. Is the Courier ashamed Of
the name in which the party it claims to
represent once so much gloried? Has the
term Republican" become 80 odious in
consequence of the villiauies it has been
made to cover, that it is deemed inexpedi-
ent to continue its use? Has "loyalty'
sunk to so low an ebb that it is found un.
profitable to respond to the "pet names
under which it once delighted to revel !
Or has Ferry, Reed and Beach concluded
to act on the square for once and &C.

A VICTORY BEFORE WE HAD FIRED A
GUN.-Immediately after the nomination
Of Judge McFADDEN, last Wednesday
Ferry and Beach telegraphed to Gar6elde,
and a number of other members of Con.
gress, to delay the election to November,
or that Garfelde would meet with an over
whelming defeat. So the bill, which a
previous telegram had announced as hav.
ing passed both houses and the vote as
reconsidered in the Senate, was immediate.
ly placed upon its final passage, and the
following telegram was received on Thurs
day, announces the result:
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 8, 1872.
JuDaE o. B. McFADDEN: Washington Ter
ritory election bill passed both houses. Only

We suggest to our party associates to be
on their guard. The bill is not yet law,
and may not become one, if Garfelde
thinks he can catch us mapping, by any
species of trickery or chicanery. Not un-
til official advices are received definitely
settling the matter, will VIC abate in the
least the work of the campaign. Organ.
ize is the watchword.

THE TERRITORIAL CONVENTION.

The Territorial Democratic Convention,
which convened in this place last Monday,
was composed Of the representative men
Of the party. although the short notice
that elapsed after the publication Of the
call, prevented many delegates from being
present in person, aud few counties from
being represented. Tclesraphic informa.
ton, however, indicated that all the leading
counties we're IN rapport with the Couven-
ton and that its duty in this instance
did not admit Of any individual choice or
preference. But one name was mentioned
in connection with the Congressional nom.
inatien, aud that name stands at the head
of these columns. Under these circum-
stances. the action of the Convention was,
of course, marked with a unaninliiy Of
feeling, harmonious action, as remarka.
bic as it is gratifying, when contrasted
with the " confusion worse coufounded" Of
our political opponents.
During the session Of the Convention,
Which lasted three days, ample opportunity
was afforded the delegates for an inter-
change of sentiment and to decide upon
plans for a more thorough organization Of
the party in the several districts represent.
ed. 1t is hoped that every, precinct will
Immediately take the necessary steps to
perfect local organization. This is what
We have needed in times past. AT least
two Of our former defeats would have been
victories, had we engaged in the contests
with united and disciplined ranks. In or.
gauizatiou no less than in union, there is
strength.
1t is hoped that every County Commit
tee will at once place themselves 10 com.
munication with the Territorial Central
Committee. The names Of the Chairmen
of the County Committees in several of the
districts are unknown. This state of af-
fairs should not exist day longer. Our
enemies are vigilant, active and unscrupu-
lous. Let US be on our guard.
The Convention adjourned with the
best of feeling towards each other, and
with quiet enthusiasm that will not pass
off until it finds expression at the polls,
whenever Selucius may deign to allow
another expression Of opinion by the BAL
lot.
