NORTHERN Pacific RAILROAD.
Duluth Mianesot;a", in referring to the
new Board of Directors of the N. p. r.
r., says: It will lie observed that
the name of one Thos. H. Garfield,
who has heretofore been one of the Di-
rectors, has been dropped. By this we
take it that the Northern Pacific Rail-
road Managers have determined to free
themselves, as much as possible, from
the clutches of the Lake Superior and
Puget Sound Land and Townsite Com
pany, the head and soul of which is
this now defunct Director and one or
two other decapitated officials Of the
road. This fact will be hailed with JOY
by the settlers along the road and by
all true friends of the Railroad Com
pany." e.. E'-4 ~ IL i.'''''1

Coal LAND BrLL.-The San Francisco
Bulletin gives the following, which will
be of interest to many of our readers
"Congress at its late session passed a
bill, which is now law, which allows
parties to buy coal lands from the Gov
eminent, in amounts not exceeding 16O
acres to any single person, or 800 acres
to any association, at the rate of not
less than $40 per acre when the lands
are situated more than Is miles from
any completed railroad, and not less
than $40 per acre for such lands as
shall be within that distance. Associ-
atoms, of not less than four persons, in
possession of coal lands upon which
they have expended not less than S.
600, may enter GAO acres. The same
parties are prohibited from making
more than one entry of coal lands.
Entries must be made in the nearest
land Office, as prescribed by the act"

CAUSE AND EFFEcr.-The late munic-
ipal election illustrates how little causes
may affect great results. That three
fourths Of the people of the First ware,
are in favor Of wharf to deep water,
is known by everybody who has taken
any pains to inform himself upon the
drift of popular sentiment. Four votes
changed would have elected Mr.. Bur-
mister and with the Mayor have given
a clear majority in favor Of that enter
prise on the new Board. A few glasses
of whisky, however, turned the scale,
and defeated the project that would have
awakened the people from their Rip
Van Wrinkle sleep, and developed feel
ing of enterprise on every hand. We
hope that the whisky ring have now
paid the debt of gratitude they owe
grand jurors and will, if their power is
SO omnipotent, direct it towards the
advancement of more worthy objects.

WRECK OF THE ATL,NT1C-In our
news columns will be found the details
of another horrible disaster at sea, in
volving the loss of over seven hundred
and fifty lives. The -it'dntic sailed
from Liverpool, March Goth, for New
York, and running short of coal at

to secure supply. When within about
twenty miles of that port, off Cape
Prospect, at half-past 2 o'clock in the
morning, she ran ashore on sunken
rocks. She had on board 1000 pas.
sengcrs of which but about $50 sue
ceeded in getting ashore. This fear
full loss of life saddens the heart of the
most Indifferent to human suffering.
The ties severed OH both continents
will bring grief to many household,
and blast the hopes of thousands who
were looking forward to fond greetings
of friends and relatives ON the Inflated
steamer. 1t is fit accompaniment of
the long train Of horrors that have fol-
lowed in such rapid succession all over
the globe.

HALIFAX, April 6.-Fourteen bodies
were recovered yesterday by graphing.
To-day, the weather being favorable,
divers divers worked for the purpose of
finding steerage passengers. Many of
them had considerable sums of money
on their persons. One, whose name
appeared to be Crooke, had bill of
exchange for f2OO and considerable
besides. The only bodies now remain
ing uncoffined on the shore are those
found to-day. Those recognized by
prayer-books were taken to Torrance
bay, few miles distant, and buried in
the Catholic cemetery. The remainder
have been buried in the Episcopal GEM
etery at Prospect. Some Of the bodies
brought up to-day showed that they
died Of suffocation and not drowning.

In q well-considered article on the
failure of Jay Cooke 4 Co., in which is
made manifest the disastrous effect that
event had upon the affairs of the North
ern Pacific Railroad. the Chicago Trib-
une says: "If the bondholders let the
enterprise como to stand-still, their
property is absolutely valueless. That
portion Of the main line already COM
pleted will not pay operating expenses.
even conceding that the branch roads
that have been bought by the Northern
Pacific may be operated at a profit. If
the road as it stands cannot earn enough
to pay expenses, of course the Interest
on the bonds cannot be paid. If has
been paid heretofore only by the sale Of
new bonds. This resource has been cut
of. or Jay Cooke l. Co. would not have
suspended. If tho interest on the bonds
is not to be paid, then the bonds are
absolutely worthless so long as the road
is in its present condition. What is the
prospect that the bondholders will COM
plete the road7 It could only be done at
all BY concentration Of interests, and
the bonds have been scattered about as
were never railroad bonds before.
ut is impossible as yet to say where
they have bsen placed or what amount
has bsen sold. The impression is that
somewhere between twenty and thirty
millions have bsen disposed Of. but this
is an impression that comes from Jay
Cooke & Co.. who are the only persons
who know anything about. The GOO

cd. would represents at . cost Of $25, 600 .
mile, SIS, 600, 600. The interest paid
out of the sale Of bonds, the discounts
on the larger sales, the commissions
paid to brokers, the fraudulent profits
made by construction companies. and
the various leakages incident to such
fash enterprises, will probably account
for $40, ,000, 900 more, making An total
Of $35, 600, 600 of bonds issued. There
will be nearly 2.0oO. 900 . year interest
to pay, and nothing to pay it witk.-
When this shall be demonstrated, there
is no doubt the Northern Pacific bonds
can be bought at low figures. There
will be no buyers, however, unless

OLYMp1A. Oct. l3, 1873.
Tie Legislature has got fairly under
way, aid the indications are that II will
be very industrious and busy session,
comparatively free frotn party divisions
and local rivelties, lobby influences and
government jobs. As an incident to
the Congressional back pay grab this
Legisture is put upon ''short commons
in the way Of expenditures coming out
of the General Government. The in
structions received by the Secretary Of
the Territory limits the incidental ex-
penditures to the barest necessaries.
No knives, pap;r r cutters. newspapers or
postage will be allowed for; no extra pay
OF any character and but 1900 for
printing, which will hardly cover the
cost of printing the laws and journals,
leaving nothing for the incidental print
ing for the session, consequently the
Legislature has appointed E. T. Gum
Territorial Printer to do this class of
work and receive his pay from the Ter
ritorial treasury. Messrs. Bagley l.
Harmed had subsequently been contract.
ed with by the Secretary to print the
laws and journals for the Congressional
appropriation.
Economy is highly commendablel in
these extravagant times; but in a view
Of the fact that the Congress- which pre-
seribes this retrenchment in the Terri
torial Legislature is tie Same which
voted back pay to themselves, it is like

holding the Government appropriation
from creditors: There was barely
enough for the officers"

filed with valuable Information. collect
ed and collated with great care and abil-
ity. There Is single omission which
has led to unfavorable comment; this
is the failure to mention our CONNER
eial interests, including numbering and
fishing. The explanation is. that the
Governor applied to the Custom House
for the statistics, and only received the
Information at a late day. including on
ly the foreign commerce which II scarce
ly one fifth of the aggregate. 1t was
then too late to remedy the defect, and
his Excellency very judiciously conclu-
ded it was better to omit all mention
than to give an uncertain and imperfect
report of that branch Of industry.
