GoLD--Ten ounces of coarse gold were
offered at the Puget Sound Banhto-day,
said to be found on the Sultan river, a
tributary of the Snohomish. During
the present fall, there are abundant in
dications to believe that profitable gold
discoveries will be developed in the
mountains east of this city.

The Olympia Convention.
j. L.. B.

1ne call OF the democratic Territorial
Committee for Convention at Olympia
on the I'd inst. was responded to by
delegates from majority Of the coun-
ties, who were, without single excep-
ton, in full sympathy, in letter and
spirit, with the reform movement which
subordinates party to the common cause
of the people, which is to rescue the
Government, both general and local,
from the management of party and the
control of rings. We found not one
man among all the delegates in attend
ance who evinced a remnant of partizan
spirit. or manifested the least desire to
embarrass the contest with any ques-
tions of mere local OF party considera-
tions. In this spirit the convention met
and was conducted from first to last.
The confirmation of the nomination
of o. B. McFadden as Delegate to
Congress, was a matter of course; it
was called for by every popular ex-
preston which could indicate the
peoples wishes, and the Convention
sought to exercise to authority not clear
ly delegated to it by the people. The
confirmation and re-affirration of the
candidates and platform of the Cincin
natl Liberal Republican Convention and
the Baltimore Democratic Convention,
was but anoth + act manifestly in accord
with the popular wish. These several
acts of the Convention were spontane-
Gus and unanimous, eliciting no differ
ence of opinion among the members,
and were manifestly heartily concurred
in by the many Liberal Republicans and
Independent Democrats who witnessed
the proceedings.
The delegates from the several Judi
cial Districts then severally presented
the names of Judge C. c. Hewett, Judge
Mix and Jacob Hoover, Esq. as candi-
dates for Prosecuting Attorney, which
nominations were unanimously concur
red in.
On the call of a committee appointed
to wait upon Judge McFadden. he ap-'
peared before the Convention and ac-
cepted the nomination in a speech of
great eloquence and force, fully in ac-
cord with the sentiments and spirit of
the Convention.
Ex-Chief Justice Hewett, was called
before the Convention and accepted the
nomination of that body, not as the can
didate of the Democratic party, with
which he had never acted, but as Re-
former. in full accord with the express
ed sentiments and manifest purposes of
the Convention. His few well timed
and sensible remarks were received with
enthusiastic applause.
Like Ju dge Hewett, we endorse and
will do our best in support of this ticket
not because it is party ticket, but be-
cause we believe no ticke: has ever been
presented to the people freer frcm par
tizan spirit and party design, and be-
cause the candidates are the very best
in the field to promote the public good
We have only time to-day to briefly
allude to this matter; the official report
of the proceedings of the Conveation
will be published hereafter.
