CUTTING ArFRAY.-Last Monday an
ARRAY took place between John Lewis
and James Carey, near Steilacoom,
growing out of Lewis completely in the
capture of Lyttle, the murderer Of
Scotia, which resulted in a stab from q
knife in Carey's neck, and sundry
bruises upon the person of Lewis.
Both were under the influence of liquor,
but it appears that Lewis acted in self
defense.

RECEPTION. Solomon and Col.
Bee, agents of the Washington Coal and
Transportation Company, arrived by
special conveyance from Tenino last
Wednesday evening, and were received
by our citizens with a cordiality that
Indicated the great interest they felt in
the object of their mission. Soon as
the carriage appeared in view at the
head of Main Street, salute was
fired ON the Public Square and the bells
pealed forth joyous welcome. In the
evening, the gentlemen were serenaded,
at the Governors residence, and both
responded, briefly acknowledging the
compliment.

SHOOTING GALLERY. - Messrs. Lord

duck-shot, yet they are remarkably ac-
curatc at short range, say forty or fifty
feet. 1t is, at present, one of the most
popular amusements in town.

ToMMY's HEART IS GLADDENED. The
obsequious Tribune says that Capt.
Ainsworth only =" smiled" when inter-
rogated about Renton, Smith e. Co. S
injunction upon the terminus" But
what power Of meaning there is in u
smile! What courage it inspires! What
hope it infuses into the soul, and how
quickly it dispels the clouds of adver-
sity! History is but repeated in this
visual phenomenon which has elated
Tommy, the trumpeter, so much. Ma
poleon smiled upon his troops at Wa
terloo. The result is known to the
world. Can we expect less in this in
stance? Can We not look for even more
decisive results?

ToLp You So" The Steilacoom
Express is prophet! 1t knew the COW
would swallow the grindstone four
months ago. At least it declares that
it knew the final decision of the land
ring in relation to I" the terminus" as
long ago as the Goth of March"
Then, of course, Seattle had no show,
and the locating commissioners were
but acting star engagements in con-
.temptible farce. We can't entertain
the idea for a moment that the Express
would lie, and must accordingly accept
the other horn of the dilemma.

TACOMA WHARF.-THE Tribune says of
the contemplated wharf at Tacoma: It
will extend $50 feet from the bank,
having a bridge 80 feet wide and a front
$50 feet long and GO feet wide. At
extreme low tide there will be Is feet
of water at the end-enough to accom-
MEDIATE any ordinary vessel. The wharf
will be owned by joint-stock COM
pany.

REPUBLICAN HARMONY The San Fran
cisco Chronicle says that confusion
reiSns worse COMPOUNDED in the Re
publican camp" of California. It says
the elements are incapable of mixing
or harmonizing their differences. A
disgraceful row of words followed by n
fist-fght occurred in recent conven-
ton, and even lively taloo on the
chronological developments of the dis
putants has failed to secure peace
The Chronicle says of the Democrats
that "They may fight bitterly, cut off
each others noses, call each other
thieves, liars and scoundrels, but the
result is always the same They rally
at the polls and vote the straight ticket
1t appears really to have lost all hope
of popular verdict in favor of the
moneyed monopolies-whch is but an
other name for Republicanism.

ment, has the following concerning the
construction of the Seattle and Walla
Walla Railroad: If the people con-
cerned really want the road they must
make up their minds to build q narrow
gauge road and see to it that it is con-
structed in the most economical way
that can be devised, without wasting
time at Washington. The natural
wealth of the country, the fine climate,
the fortunate situation of the termini,
and the prospective rapid increase of

ing to the enterprise. e.

not owe their growth AMI existence TO

affirms that the contrary is true, and
that the poorer the soil and more rocky
