DEMoRALIzING INFLUENCE OF PARTY
The Green Bay (Wisconsin) Adrocots
relates the following characteristic an
ecdote: sc I'VE heard good thing the
other everiny in conversation with
gentleman who, not long ago, came in
company with Senator Carpenter from
New York to Chicago. Senator G. rela-
ted some incidents of Washington life,
among which was this: He had. at the
request of Gen. Butler, assisted in the
preparation of some papers in behalf of
Yarmouth. of Louisiana. Meeting But
Ter, he said to him that the papers were
ready, "And, General" said he, Il
have made up my mind, on examining
the whole subject. that this man War
mouth is damned scoundrel. "Per-
haps So" replied Bntler, bnt we can't
help that--he is one of our damned
scoundrels.'
This Is very funny, and illustrates the
reckless and unprincipled character Of
an acknowledged leader of the dominant
party, as well as the character of his
Fydes Achates, Senator Carpenter. But
in practical view, it is melancholy
exhibition of the moralit, which prevails
in the governing circles of the country.
v hat Butler SO shamelessly acknowl-
edged to be his own aciuating motive, is
just as true of all successful partisans of
the present day, whatever may be their
religious professions, social standing or
party affiliations; in fact, Butler himself
owes his present political elevation to
the party policy of supporting their own
damned scoundrels;" by this princi-
pie, the coarse, profane and brutal man.
who holds nothing sacred, has no faith
in the honor of man or the virtue of
woman, born to degradation, the son of
an executed felon, brother of profess
sional gan bier and uncle of the notori
Gus Consul General in India, who ex-
empl;fied in his life and conduct all the
vices of his family, who has not suffi-
cient moral sensibility to feel degrada-
ton in anything unaccompanied by the
modification of defeat, has. by allying
himself to successful party and by
the power of his intellect, become q
recognized leader. and Numbers among
his devoted followers thousands of
Christian clergyman and hundreds OF
thousands of Christian, laymen, who
would support him against Sumner,
Trumbull, Doolittle, or any other States
man whose life has been model of pu-
rlty, but who lacks the essential element
of unconditional devotion to party, thus
subordinating to party success every
consid ration of religion, morality, Off
cial honesty and private integrity, to
the success Of party. This is not an
uncommon case; Thadeus Stevens was
one of the Lost profiigate contemn-
ers of all that is sacred in religion or
social order. without losing anything of
his influence with the professed moral
and religious elements of his party
Nye, Morton and Carpenter are of the
same ilk, while Pomeroy, Harlan, Pat
terson and Colfax represent the pious
scoundrels, who rob the public treasury
and compound their crimes by religious
benefactious.
With the manifest fruits of party,
party management and party discipline,
as exhibited in the recent investigations
and legislation in Congress, there is no
longer a reasonable excuse or justitica-
ZION for adhering TO present political
party organizations.

T The Portland Bulletin of Satur-
day last says: "We are informed that J
B. Montgomery and I. B. Morris. OF
the Northern Pacific Railroad, propose
going over the line next Tuesday. Mr..
Montgomery expects soon to have the
route under contract by him crowded
with teams and scrapers, choppers and
miners, intending to rush the work as
fast as uossible."
The Bulletin also notes the arrival in
that city of 81. H. Stone, Of Boston, on
business connected with the Northern
Pacific Railroad contracts.

Nor True The Courier says: {"

Nor True The Courier says: ga
fellow in Seattle. whose name is Frank
Gutenberg, is reported to US as trying
to obtain signatures to petition for the
removal of a prominent official, under
false pretenses. He approaches men in
an apparent great hurry and sollcits
their signatures to pretended petition
praying the Commissioners to grant him
IL liquor license, whereas in truth the
petition is addressed to President Grant,
and prays for the removal aforesaid
He has succeeded in quilting few indi-
viduals by this cheat. and we give him
this little notice. not to counteruct any,
thing that he could possibly accomplish.
but to show up the disposition of his
kers and meters, whose tool he is. :"
The foregoing statement is utterly
destitute Of truth, and the Courier, as in
many previous cases, has male itself
the medium of giving currency to false
and malicious invention from an ire
sponsible source. exaggerated and en-
bellished by it's own comments. The
petition referred to was printed in large,
plain type, on the page to which the
sign atures were appended, and headed
in display letters: " To the President OF
the United States" No one who gave
it single glance, as would be necess ry
before signing, could possibly mistake
it for written petition for liquor Ii
cense. Mr.. Gnttenburg is probably us
well known upon Puget Sound as his
assailant, and all who know the two
would be much nore likely to apply the
epithets, "fellow," "cheat" and tool, 4"
to the latter than to the former. We
would kindly suggest to the editor of
Courier that if he persists in giving cur
rency to the malicious reports Of name
less vagabonds, we are afraid he will
impair the character aud standing of his
highly respectable Journal for truth and
veracity (which, you see, would reflect up
on its hackers, the veracious Governor
and the immaculate Surveyor General.

PEN1TENTIARY.-The contract for the
construction Of the Penitentiary has
been awarded to I. G. Ellis, Olympia.
His bid was $37 800 for the construction
of the wing with three tiers of cells, AZ
in number, and a wharf to deep water.

DIED IN FIT-A boatman known on
the Sound by the name of Tom jackson,
had fit of appoplexy at Port Blakely,
on Thursday, during which he was con-
veyed to this city for medical attendance
and died at the Bank Exchange soou
after landing.

SHIP BUILDING.-Mr. S. F. Coombs
has handed us Bath (Maine) paper
in which we find notice of the vessels
in the process of construction at the
various ship-yards at that port, num-
bering as follows: ships, 6; barks, 2;
schooners, 10; ocean steamer, l: steam
ers, 3; yachts, 2; total, 33; the aggre-
gate cost of which will probably be not
far from one million dollars. With this
number under way at one time, we can
only conjecture the number that will be
turned off in the course of the year. The
ship building interests Of Maine are not
nearly as prosperous as they have been
in previous years. but these facts indi-
cate what Puget Sound may do in that
line when it becomes, as it eventually
will, the navy yard Of the world, as Of
fering superior facilities to any other
upon the habitable globe. We may rea-
sonable expect that within the next ten
years vessels will be launched upon
these waters at the rate of at least one
hundred year.

Platform of the National Labor Union

We hold that all political power is inhe-
rent IN the people, that free government is
founded on their authority, and established for
their benefit !" that all citizens are equal in
political rights, entitled 10 the largest relig-
ious and political liberty compatible with the
good order Of society, as also the use aud en-
joyment Of the fruits Of their labor and talents
and no man or set Of men are entitled to the
exclusive, separate emoluments, privileges or
immunities from the Government, but in con
sideratIon Of public services and any laws
destructive Of these fundamental principles
are without moral binding force and should be
repealed and we believe that the evils re-
sultlng from unjust legislation now affecting
the industrial classes can be removed by the
adoption Of the principles contained in the
following declarations. Therefore resolved
l. That It IS the duty Of the government
to establish just standard Of distribution To-
capital and labor, by providing purely ma
tlonal circulating medium, base ON the faith
and resources OF the nation, issued directly Ia
the people without the Intervention Of any
system OF banking corporations which money
shall be legal tender in the payment Of ali
debts, public and private and interchanpea-
bic At the option Of tie holder for government
bonds, bearing rate of interest not to exceed
three and sixty five hundreths per cent sub
tect 10 future sg1slatlon by Congress
,. That tn national debt should be naiI
IN good faith according to the original contract
At the earliest option Of the government, with.
out mortgaging the property Of the people,
and the future earnings of labor to enrich a
few capitalists at home and abroad.
3. That justice demands that the burdens
OF government should be so adjusted as to bear
equally on all classes and interests, and the
exemption from taxation Of government bonds,
bearing extOrtiOnate rates OF interest. is a VIC.
lation Of all Just principles of revenue laws.
4. That the enlightened spirit of the ACE
demands the abolition of the system Of con
tract labor in our prisons and other reforma.
tory institutions.
5. That the public landS Of the United
States belong to the people, and should moi
be sold to individuals nor granted to CORPORA
tiOns, but should be held as q sacred trust fol
the benefit of the people, and should be grant
ed free of cost to landless settlers only IL
amounts not exceeding l60 acres each.
g. That Congress should modify tariff %
as to admit free such articles of common use
a. we can neither produce or grow, and lay
duties for revenue mainly upon articles Of lux
