The above card reflects honor alike
upon the writer and upon the profession
of journalism. The position of hired
editor is not necessarily degraded, more
than that of a hired attorney or advo-
cate. 1t is only when man consents
to prostitute his God-given and acquir-
ed powers of mind and soul to the sell
fish purposes of a clique or ring. sinks
his individuality to become the mere
echo of other mems thoughts and the
instrument of their designs, with no free
choice between right and wrong, that
he lowers his social standing as far be-
low that of the common prostitute as is
the animal below the intellectual part OF
manhood. This latter alternative is the
only condition upon which Mr.. Love-
ridge could retain, or any other man
fill, the position against which his man
hood revolted. That is the purpose for
which the Courier was established, and
whoever succeeds the late editor must
accept the place with the conditions at
tached.

A CARD.

The officers OF the U. 3. Land Ofnce
at Olympia have issued certificate to
Lydia A. Maynard for the east half of
the Donation Claim. No other result
could have been anticipated by any one
who had exa ined the case.
Thus the first step is taken in the
march towards good title to property
in Seattle. The others will follow as
fast as possible in view Of the obstacles
to be overcome.
The person who sought to make his
title good by procuring deed from the
"heirs of Lydia Maynard, did not seek
to purchase the entire interest, and only
did so at the earnest solicitation of Lyd-
ia herself, as she was in no condition to
prosecute it.
The name of the undersigned was in
cluded in the deed without any know
ledge of the fact until it arrived in Seat
tie, and even then it was regarded as on
Iy security for the payment of profess
sionM fees.
As soon as the undersigned was con-
yinced that the first wife or her heirs
were the owners of one half the claim,
he at once communicated his opinion to
the leading property holders in Seattle,
and advised that prompt steps be taken
to clear up the title. The advice how
ever was not only disregarded, but re-
jected contemptuously. Somehow and
for some reason. the community had
come to regard all lawyers as necessarily
rascals, and the advice and suggestion
must have been regarded as one of
the every day pettifogging attempts to
get fee. So the attempt at concerted
action in the interest of all property
holders was futile, and all effort in that
direction was and is, abandoned, and is
now beyond individual control.
In the proper prosecution Of the case
it was obviously the thing to request the
personal attendance of the claimant,
and when she finally did come, the
undersigned insisted that the land should
be reconveyed, and the persons interest
ed be protected under Power Of Attor-
ney. Palpably the thing to do was to
deal with the blunder in a manner to af.
feet as few as possible and at the same
time bring speedy solution. Hence
the settled and valuable portion Of the
claim was at once conceded to the hus-
band, and an offer made to accept the
South half for the wife. As the heirs Of
Plummer had some interest in that hall
an offer was made to their Guardian, tc
secure them those interests without cost
and also to give Lydia 8 title to all who
had settled and improved. This offel
relieve the heirs Of Terry likewise, fol

choose Delegate to Congress, Members Of the
Legislative Assembly, and other officers herein
named:
Now. therefore, I. EDWARD s. SALOMON,
Governor of the Territory of Washington, by
virtue of the authority vested in me by law, do
order an Election to be held in the several Elec-

their lands were on the North halt.
These offers were rejected BY both
Guardian and Executor and the contest
went on It is still to go on, for fund
has been raised to send a Member Of
the Bar to Washington to defeat Lydia
title.
Why defeat it :?
What then?
Any lawyer will tell them that Lydia
title defeated the land becomes pHblic
land and being within the limits of an
incorporated City cannot be acquired in
any other way than under the Town
Site Law and under his law only ac-
tual settlers can take, and then only two
town lots each. So the whole contest
would have no other object than spite
against Lydia Maynard. 1t is earnestly
desired that the Member shall go to
Washington. Rather than not have him
20 we would contribute something, for
we would have the advantage of some
one on the ground who was entirely fa-
miliar with the case. To show our sim
cerity in this regard, we shall print the
brief prepared for the Commissioner of
the General Land Office, in next week S
DISPATCH.
Now that the East half has been ap-
portioned to Lydia, in order to keep the
thing a-going, it is said this 6nality will
be set aside, and claim set up to the
west half. To dissipate this fear the
undersigned now offers to convey by
Quit Claim, as the Attorney in fact of
Lydia A. Maynard, for the consideration
of one dollar. to every person save one
owning lands upon the West half. The
lawyers will say there must be some
consideration to support the deed, so
perhaps a dollar is little enough. The
person desiring the title, however. to
present certificate of title, and pay the
cost Of preparing, stamping and acknow-
Lodging the deed.
To see how valuable such convey
ance might be, it is only necessary to re-
gard divorce granted by Territorial
Assembly as absolutely void so far as it
affects rights of property. and to know
that aoo the widow takes absolutely in
in her own right an estate in fee simple,
in one-haifpart of any property acquired
during coverture. Thus will be taken
the second step in the march, and, not
withstanding the rejection of the first
offer, it is again renewed, and in man.
ner to settle forever all titles under the
Maynard Donation Claim--unless in
deed the contestants shall succeed ut
Washington in defeating Lydia's claim,
in which event the chances are hun
dred to one that the entire claim goes
by the board.

A SpuNKY EDITORS. WILDER Payne.
editor and publisher of the Utica IN. ~
Daily Bee, recently commented severely
upon the judicial conduct of Judge Doo-
little, in the case of poor woman under
Indictment in his court. For these
comments, Mr.. Payne was summarily
arrested, indicted, tried, convicted and
sentenced to four month s Imprisonment
in the Albany penitentiary. without be-
ing allowed any time to summon wit
nesses or make defence. In writing
to his pro tem., from the penitentiary,
he says:
Never mind about me. Try and
give all the news in as few words as pos
sible. Use plain English. Consult your
own conscience. Be earnest; don't be
afraid to speak out what you think
Give the public your bes. and noblest
thoughts. Go down into your own soul
to learn whether you are right or wrong.
Never stop to think whether it is s. pol
icy" to say this or that, but onl, ask
yourself. AM l.IGHT; and if convinced
on that point, then GO RIGHT ON. Take
sides with the weak and oppressed. Al
ways give listening ear aud q kind
word to the friendless. Defend the rihgt
to the best Of your ability and if in od-
ing all this you violate any laws of the
State, Just tell Judge Doolittle to tela-
graph down and have me work it out III
the penitentiary.'
We know nothing of the merits Of this
case beyong the simple statement OF the
facts. Mr.. Payne's zeal may have car
ried him beyond the bounds Of discre-
ton and beyond the limits Of just and
lawful criticism Of the official acts of a
public functionary; but we cordially
and fully endorse the sentiments of the
foregoing extract, and deem no man

Judge Greene's Decision.

We have read with care the decision
Of Judge Greene as published in the
Olympia Courier, in which he denies the
power of the Territorial Assembly to
confer upon Clerks of Court power
to enter up judgments upon default
when the defendant having been
served with a complaint and sum-
mons, and is required to set up his
defence at a particular day, declines
to defend and thus confesses the Plain
tiff's right to ajudgment, and we are
compelled to say that the opinion does
not fortify the decision. In fact the
judgment thus entered by the Clerk is
in no sense.a judicial Act. 1t is min
isterial act. 1t differs in no way from. a
Judgment confessed by the defendant.
by, either a written confession, or by
going in person to the Clerks Office
with the Plaintiff and submitting to
Judgment. The argument of the opinion
IS strong one sustaining this view,
while the decision is the other way.
There is but a single case which sus-
tains this decision, while there are
many the other way. The case cited
from Michigan has since been overruled.
The delay in enforcing demands
against which there is no defence, is
much to be deplored, if Judge Greene's
decision shall be affirmed by the Supreme
Court. 1t would have been much bet
ter to stand by the law as the utterance
of competent Legislative power. than
to have declared 1t void. And espe-
cially with such a preponderance of
authority against the decision.

J. G.. swan A prophet is not with

as true as holy writ, and is illustrated
in the case of j. G. Swan. No man on

tributions to science, which have given
him a worldwide reputation without
any recognition of the fact from his inn

tributed at Government expense to all

one from the "Societe Imperiale d En-
ulation D'Abbeville, France" and the
other from Die Geographische Geseil-

for what they severally characterize as a
s'most valuable contribution to science. ;"
These letters were accompanied by sew

BEATEN.
At the Diamond State Rolling Mill, number
of the puddlers have been on a strike for seyera
weeks. Yesterday, one of the new men employed
in their place, named Geo W. Brooke, went to a
pump near by, to get drink of water. AT the
pump, he was accOsted by several women, wives
Of the striking puddlers. who demanded to know
if he was a pudder. Upon receiving an affirm
ative answer, they informed him that he could
not have water at that pump, and Immediately
set upon the man, with the apparent intention
of giving him a severe beating. Brooks, how
ever, made his escape, procured warrant
for their arrest and went in company
with Constable Pritchard to oint them out.
When they had arrived at the place, Brooke was
attacked by three men, John Garrity, Edward
Garrity, and Patrick Gardner husbands of the
women who made the first assault. What became
of the constable, we are not informed, but
Brooks was left at the mercy Of the attacking
party, who most numerically beat him over the
head and face with car coupling bolts, until the!
had almost mashed his head to jelly The at
tacking party have made their escape, while
Brooke is under surgical treatment.
