THE OTHER SIDE.

The Gazette cannot be accused Of a very
great love for Gov. Potts. 1t has taken
every occasion, both in season and out Of
of season, to pitch into" him, and general.
~ speaking, to misreprescnt him. Yet tho
Governors course during the past
legislative session hns been such rs to wiring
the following tribute TO his general worth
and manlness Of character, from the senio,
editor of that sheet:
In this communication l will say
that however mean the principles Of the
Governor may be, he has acted manfully
in meeting all issues and questions. and in
not dodginv and eyadiny as his predecessor
did. He thus shows manhood and mag
nanimi,y not often found In newly imported
carpet baggers.
Aside from the inserarable Democratic
growl at Republican principles, the above
will answer very well as an offset for some
of the rough things the gazette has hereto
fore said about the Governor, ....-

MORE ABOUT THE EARTHoUAKE.-Mf
Fares, of Snoqualmie. writes us from
that point under date of 17th inst. as
follows:
This valley has been pretty we'll
shook up during the past three days
with earthquakes. The first was about
10 o'clock on Saturday night, lasting a
minute and half. and was very heavy.
We had thirteen more shocks before
daylight, but cne as heavy as the first.
Since then we have had ten. A very
heavy smoke has risen in the mountains
little west of north, seen distinctly
when not too cloudy. There appears
to be two volumes of smoke
Mount Baker is in the direction of
the smoke seen from Snoqualmie, and
it is not improbable that the earthquake
shocks felt here were caused by an erup-
ton of that volcanic mountain, as all
accounts concur that it was most vio-
lent in that direction.

INTERESTING TO OLD SETTLERs.--The
following account of Il recent legal deci-
sion in Missouri, will be of interest to
many parties on Puget Sound
1t has been a common practice among
the settlers in frontier States to contract
what are called Indian marriages. That
is. Indian traders and others would Sc
lect wives among the Indians, whom
they would wed according to the Indian
custom. or otherwise as the case may be
not always restricting themselves to q
single wife. The question has now
been brought before the Missouri courts
whether the issue of such marriages can
inherit property as legitimate heirs
This is question of great Interest in
the West, as in Missouri, Arkansas, Tex
as, Iowa, md nearly all the Territories.
there are great numbers of persons who
are the offspring of such irregular mar
riages. The case which has opened this
novel question of legitimacy is one Of
peculiar interest. Mr.. William Gillis,
one of the first settlers of Kansas City,
aud its most wealthy citizen at the time
of his death, some time ago died. bach
elor as every one supposed, leaving his
property to his niece. Mrs. Troost,
who afterwards also died, leaving will
i'm which were bequests for the erection
of an opera house, church, and SEM
mary, and for the establishment of
plrk and other public Improvements in
Kansas City. Mr.. Gillis, it appears, in
early life, had been an Indian trader and
had contracted an Indian marriage. His
half-breed childl en- have contested the
will of Mrs. Troost on the ground that
they were the legal heirs of Gillis. and
the case has been before the jury in the
Circuit Court, who decided in favor of
Indian heirs, thus setting aside the will.
OF course an appeal was taken from
this decision, and the case will be car
ried to the Supreme Court, when the
question will be definitely settled
whether a marriage contracted according
to Indian customs constitutes such a
marriage as the laws of the country can
take cognizance of and enforce as legal
AMI binding in all respects.
Under the African slavery rule, the
child inherited the condition of the
mother instead of the father. but that
rule has been reversed by Emancipation
and the Civil Rights Acts, which abol
ishes all distinctions on account of race
or color, or previous condition of servi-
tude. Hence, the half breed inherits
the rights of the father. to the same ex.
tent as the white child.

Ages Of Distinguished Men.

The New York Times in the course of
its article announcing the death of Hor-
ace Greeley, indulges in some interest
ing comparisons of the ages of dlstin-
guished Americans. 1t says:
Although most of us have been ac-
customed to speak of Mr.. Greeley as an
old man. yet if We estimate his life by
the standard which often prevails among
distinguished mtn, we are justified in
saying that Mr.. Greeley's life came to q
premature close. If medical men are
right in the opinion that smoking is in
furious, and that even moderate in-
diligence in stimlants tend to shorten life,
surely the absence OF those habits in
MIR. Greeley should have tended to pro-
long his days. 1t must be remembered
that Mr.. Greeley was much younger
than many men whose names are as
sociated with his own in American po-
litical' history, or who have been on the
stage of public life during the whole or
u portion Of his career. AIR. Seward
lived to the age of seventy-one. and Mr.
Thurlow Weed still lives at the ge of
seventy-fve. Mr.. Webster was seventy
when he died, and Henry Clay, to whom
MIR. Greeley was very much attached.
was seventy-fve. ''Old Ben Wade" en-
joys very fair health at the age Of
seveaty-two, Mr.. Chase is sixty-four,
and Mr.. Sumner is only Mr.. Greeley's
age. The late James Cor ion Bennett
was seventy-one when he died, and Mar
tin Van Buren, was eighty. The newly
elected Governor of New York is older
thar Mr.. Greeley by thirteen years. If
we look to other countries, and turn to
the men who have led very active and
hard-working lives, we find the compari-
son equally striking. NJ. Thiers is
seventy-fve. Lord Brougham lived to
the age Of ninety-three-no doubt an ex-
ceptional instance; but the present Pre-
mier of England, Mr.. Gladstone, is
sixty-three, and his great opponent, Mr.
Disraeli, is sixty-seven-six years Mr..
Greeley's senior. Palmerston lived 10
the age of eighty-one, and the present
Exchequer, Robert Lowe, is only Mr..
Greeley's age, and is expected to do
great deal of hard work, to say nothing
of his incessant attention to Office duties
during the day. Mr.. Greeley, then,
cannot properly be described as an old
man."

RAILROAD BoNDs.-We would call the
attention of small capitalists to the ad-
vertisement of the Northern Pacific
Railroad bonds. To those desiring to
purchase railroad lands peculiar advan-
tages are offered. They may enter into
possession of the land Immediately on
application, be in receipt of the interest
on their money, and when the lands
come into market, pay for the same at
their appraised value exclusive of i'm
provements, with bonds at ten per cent.
premium. That is, bonds now costing
ninety cents, and paying interest at the
rate of eight and half per cent. upon
the investment, will be taken at one
dollar and ten cents in payment for
lands.
