Puget Sound Dispateh.

RAIlRoAD MATTERS. Thomas B
Morris, Chief Engineer of the Pacific
Division of the \. P. r. p. arrived in
this city, with his family, on Wednes.
day evening. He informs us that the
company has let to j. B. Montgomery.
ESQ, contract for constructing one
bundled miles of the road north from
Tenino. This viii take the road very
near TO Mukelteo, on the present sur
veyed lines. The contract does no. call
for the completion of the whole within
the present year, but it is understood
that Mr.. Montgomery will push the
work as rapidly as practicable. and from
his well known energy we may reasona-
bly, expect that tho road will be finished
to the Manageable waters of White or
Black river, so as to make connect IN
by river steamers with Seattle by the
first of January next. This will give rs
all the practical advantages of termi-
nus for several years to come, though
the road should not approach us any
nearer. The ro-ste from the end of the
first forty miles, near the Stuck river
has not yet been determined. Two To-
eating lines have been surveyed--one
directly through this city, and one east
Of Lake Washington-and reported to
the Directors for their determination
Their decision will be made during the
present season. 1t is settled, however,
that the road will not diverge to Taco
ma, and il is apparent that the land ring
has, in the main. lost control in its di.
rection. This is good news to all more
interested in the success of this grand
project for the public benefits it will
confer than in making it subservient to
private speeula:ions.
Mr.. E. Williams writes to the Rail-
Committee at Olympia, detailing the
substance of conversation lie had with
General Cass. the President of the Rail-
road. The President said there WAS no
shadow of contract whatever op the
part of the Company in which they
promised to locate road terminating
on Budd's inlet. That such locations
were only made by the directors after
consultation with the Engineers, etc. :
and that it was the intention to locate
the road Tn the eastern side of the
Sound, but they had not yet determined
where the terminus shonlda be. The
letter concludes by saying that it 'would
seem to be the intention of the Compa-
ny to hold ours, as well probably as
other similar propositions in abeyance
for the present. to be accepted or de-
| cllned by then in the future, as they
may deem most advantageous to the H.
terests of the road" From al of which
it is fair to conclude that the people ot
Olympia have been badly biiked by
the false representions of persons
who then held and now hold prominent
positions under the Company, or that
the Company resort to the fraudulent
devise of repudiating the acts of their
agents.

A few days since, ut the suggestit u
Of gentleman learned in the law we
printed an article in which was embod-
led what purported to be an extract

reprcsrnted as stating as a scientific
fact that the frames of the white man
and the negro ''are alike in no particu-
lar" that there is no bone in the ne

shape, size, articulation, or chemi-

GENERAL CANDY AN UNN ILLlNcs VIcr1a.
From the following dispatch to the
New York Sun, it would seem that Gem
eral Candy never concurred iu The Pc zee
Commission crime:
Washington. April 13.-The treacher-
Gus and cold blooded murder OF General
Candy by Capt. Jaci, and hi. blood
thirsty band excites profound sorrow
and indignation among all the army
officers in this city.
The Indian peace policy of the Ad-
ministrati,.n has been very unpopular
in army circles, and now when one of
their favorites, u soldier they were ali
proud of, lost his life at peace ma king
they do not hesitate to express them
selves very freely.
Gereral Sherman has always been op-
posed to the peace policy of the Presi-
dent, and months ago insisted on sum-
mary treatment of the murderous No
docs. In this he was ably seconded by
the lamented Candy, who constantly
recommended to the department prompt
and energetic movements against Capt.
Jack and hii band Both these expert
enced and able Generals were overruled
by the peace men.
An officer told me to-day that if the
dispatch. S which Gen. Candy has sent
TO the War Department were pablished,
they would show that he has all along
protested against the course which he
was made to pursue. te had no faith
in the negotiations with Captain Jack
from the beginning, and he has contin-
ually sad SO to the Department. He
has been chatting under the combination
OF Meae ham and lis fellow peaee-mah-
ers ever since this trouble began. Ii is
said tnat he protested against going
outside of his camp to meet these
treacherous cut threats on the very oc-
casion ON which he lost his life.
GeR. Sherman said to-day that 1t was
the supremest folly that he ever heard
of to attempt to treat with Indians after
they bad been successful in a fight.
The only way to do was to give them a
good drubbing first, and th, n they were
always anxious to talk peace. He says
that any day during the last month Gen
eral Candy could have captured the
whole of Captain Jacks band. and that
Canby almost begged to be allowed 10
| settle the business in his own way.
The indignation of army officers al
being under Delano and men like Mea-
cham. is unbounded. They know some
thing about the Indians treacherous
disposition, and would no moie trust
one than they would mad dog.
Immediately on the receipt of the
in diligence of General Canby's assas-
sn.tion, General Sherman telegraphed
to the officer in command of the troops
to attack the Indians at once, and never
let up until thev are k1li.d or captured

Limb Lmnntafad.

Mrs. st. Clair, wife of Mr.. R. NJ.
st. Clair, of this place has been suffer
ing for a long time with scrofulous
degeneration of lower end of thigh
bone. The disease had entirely de-
stroyed the bone to the extent of six
inches. The disease was of such a
nature that the only hope to save her
life was to amputate the limb. Accor-
dinghy, on Monday morning last, Drs.
st. Clair and harrington, assisted by
Dr.. Wood, Of Warren. Ohio,(a rela-
tive of Mrs. st. Clair performed the
operation. The patient being greatly
weakened by lOng-eontinued and in
tense suffering was i'll able TO with.
stand so severe in operation but it
being the only way by which to pro-
long her life, she submitted. Mrs.
st. Clair is a most estimable christian
lady, and we trust she may speedily
recover. "-IRdiond Messenger.
The worthy lady above referred to,
is a native of Warren, Sarah, the
youngest of the three daughters of the
late Waiter King. Few young wives
have gone from Warren to a distant
home of her own, who have left a
circle of relatives, friends and
general acquaintance, tc sympathize
with them in prosperity and adYersi-
ty than this one. This is manifested
by the frequent, eager Inquiries made
as TO the prospects of her recovery.
Mrs. st. Clair, before her marriage,
was a fayOrite teacher in our Union
Schools, and one that took delight in
acts of kindness to Standardization.

ED. CRRoNICLE:-The semi-gnnual
session of the Trumbull County Musical
Association took place here this week,
and closed last night with a fine concert.
The class was composed of about n
hundred and fifty singers, and the way
they performed some of the heavy, DIFF
ficult choruses, shows that this Associa-
ton is composed of as good musical tai
ent as many older associations. Prof.
l.. o. Emerson, of Boston, was here and
conducted the Convention, and it WAS
admitted by many of the members that
his qualifications as a Convention leader
and conductor are second to none in the
United States. Miss Kent, also, who ac-
cOmpanied him here, proved herself to
be an efficient pianist. Mr.. Emerson
was here on time the first day, and the
sessions each day and evening were well
attended-the members of the Conyen-
ton being nearly all on hand the first
day.
The conductor made some remarks to
church choir members and choristers
that were very interesting and instruct
i've, and which, if remembered and put
in practice, will tend much to elevate
the standard of church music in our
choirs. He also advised ministers to
take more of an interest in that part of
religious worship-singing-and occa-
sionally preach a strmon on the subject
of music in churches.
The concert last evening friday was
a success, the only obstacle being want
of room to accommodate the audience.
The house was so crowded that the sing
ers could hardly find room to perform
their several pieces. Without any excep-
ton, all the pieces were well rendered,
and received applause.
On the last day of the Convention the
business of the Association was
attended to, the election of officers, etc,
which resulted in the following choice :
President, James McGranahan /; Secre-
airy, Henry Seger; Treasurer, Willard
Ease, and a vice president from each
ownship, whose names I did not learn.
