Col. Kemble and the Indian
Department.

There is no department 0f the Gov
ssnment tho management Of which has
bean the cause Of 90 much scandal and
apparent irregularities and manifest
peculation. as the Indian Department,
not only in this Tsrfitoy. but in nearly
every other State and Territory where
il exercises any jurisdiction. Nothing
has been moro common than for indian
officials to accumulate large fortunes
rapidly, from souaces not apparent out
side Of their official facilities, and not
consistent with any hypothesis based
upon an honest discharge of their trusts.
Such has been the ease in this Territory
and numerous the attempts TO investi-
gate the sources of frauds the results of
which were openly manifest, and ,ari-
oas the collnMons and tricks of chicane-
ry by which justice has bssn thvartel
BY ring and party combinations. T
The Department in this Territory
while uudsr the management Of . former
Superintendent. was almost psrpetuaally
under Investigation. fnt BY ous and
suecsssively BY other agents and dstsc-
lives Of the Government specially de
tailed for that asrvios. Every report
made of de.inqusnciss or peculatiens
was tEassrsed and met by counter state
nsnts BY the friends and colleagues of
the accused, until finally the proofs b.
came 20 overwhelming that decent
respect for public opinion, or whols>
some fear Of popular odiuu, compelled
. change; General McKennsy was re-
moved and General Milroy was appoint
led. This change produced NO practical
change Of nsnassnent or policy. The
ssme chief clerk who managed tho de-
tails Of the Office under McKennsy was
|re.ained for the same service under his
successor. The same system which
brought scandal upon the department
was psrpstaated. In the mean time
the Government, in Wow Of the mani
fold complaints coming mp from all
sections of abuses in that department,
created. Board Of Supervisors. with
ample powers to personally examine
each dsRartnsat and apply discrstiona-
~ remedies. Tho Supervisor having

TIGBEn.-.Capt Rsnton. Of the Port
Blakely Mills, was to-day arrested by
Deputy Marshal Turpin, and taken To
Olympia, 70 answer to an Indictment for
cutting timber on Government lands.
The timber was cut and removed under
. permit issued by authority OF Ge.e.al
Spragus - the agent Of tie Northern
Pacific Railroad Company, and will
bring the question before the Courts as
to the right Of Gsn.. Spragas to steal
timber from Government lands. which
he has done very extensively with the
full knowledge OF Capt. Tuttls.. the

Territorial Legislature.

The most notable ssssion Of the Leg
lslattvs assembly ever held in Washing
tea Territory, closed its labors on the
l4th inst, The most remarkable and
most praiseworthy feature Of that body.
md that which 40 would specially put
on record, was its comparative freedom
from party politics or party questions in
ill it, actions and deliberations. This
was especially the case with the Council
composed Of fivs professed Republicans
and four professsd Democrats. Tho
ditor Of this paper, who ty popular
csnsurs has heretofore been regarded
- addicted to party politics Of the Dem
ocratic kind, was unanimously chosen
Chief Clerk Of that branch, without per-
sonal solicitation, bargain. compromise.
or the intervention of Caucus, and he
can say in al sincerity that he was never
before associated with any public body
With whom the association was more
uniformly agreeable. cordial and frisnd-
~; the Same relations sxtsndil g to all
the members Of tho House Of Repre-
seniatives and to the Governor and Sec.
rstary Of the Territory.
Ex-Go> ernor Wallace, member Of the
Council from Piercs and Mason coun-
ties, in speech at the close Of the ses-
sion. most eloquently bore testimony
to the fact that in large and varied OK.
perisnce. both in Congress and local
Legislatures, this was the first in which
no party spirit. no local jsalousies. no
personal differences, had in . single in
stance marred the harmony Of the ses-
SION. la
II the Legislation of the recent SEES
sion is not all that could be desirsd by
every one. it il certain That none Of il
has been actuated by sslfish or parti
zan spirits and that patriotism and sia-
cers desire to promote the public veal
Of our common Territory has prevailed
throughout. s,e
Among the important acts of the Leg
islature, Seattle and King county have
been conceded nearly every thing asked
An act ceding the tide-lAnds to the Seat
Tie and Walla Walla Railroad company
an act exempting the property Of said
Company from taxation; an act submit
ting to the voters of several counties thu
qusstion of municipal aid to said rail
road; besides several acts relating to oul
city and county affairs which we're ask
ed for by our representatives. Among
acts of more general character, is one t.
prevent sxtortion and unjust discrimina-
ton by railroads in carrying passenger
and freights and one giving laborers nnt
matsrialmen leins upon railroads ant
other public improvements.

The CoNcxRT. A pressure of other
engagements consequent upon our hate
arrival at home after long absence.
caused us to forget to neption at the
proper time the exceedingly agreeable
concert given At the Pavilion on Wed,
nesday evening for the benefit of Trinity
Episcopal Church. Nearly all of our
citizens have enjoyed, and few if any
failed to appreciate. the rare musical
ability Of fMr. Ross o'Brien and bis ac-
complished sisters. together with Capt.
Tuttle. On the occasion above men
toned, they were assisted by Mrs. E NJ.
Morgan. also of Olympia. whose clear.
round bird like notes thrill and charm
every hearer. The Seattle talent which
took part in the concert was composed
of Mrs.. Moore, tho charming Misses
Johns. and sprishtly little Millie Mach
Or. all of whom creditably performed
heir several parts.
Anv partial discrimination or adverse
criticism of amateur artists who volun
tssrsd their services for special public
benefit, would b improper; but We can
not foreee the occasion Of making few
friendly suggestions. A. for instance
10 think Mr.. O'Brien is acquiring a
mannsrism. initiated by those he lsads.
which materially dstracts from the ef-
feet of his splendid musical powers; he
proiongs his nstes till ths suspense be-
comes almost painful aud the words ars
distorted into meaningless sounds, like
linked sweetness. long drawn OUT" in
other words, diluted into insipidity.
With voice Of great power and rangs.
full of melody and entirely under his
control, there is no excuse for that lack
sidaiaical tone which expresses neither
sentiment or yigor. We wsre sorry to
hear voice Of such range and sweetness
~ Mrs. Noore's spoiled by the Boston
style Of music in which no word of tho
song il ever distinguishable, in which
sense is always sacrificed to sound. and
the sound is never adapted to the senti-
ment. II is , villainous travssty upon
all vocal .uusic. sacred or sentimental.
The Aarssillss hymn. the Star Spanglsd
Banner, Or Hail Columbia. sung from .
Boston tune, book. would have no more
Significance or soul-inspiring inspira.
ton than . concert Of CATS: and when
used in religious worship is emily calcu-
latod to inspire in any soul attuned to
the melody Of sweet sounds, . sense of
the horror Of the dan ned.
In conclusion it is due to Mr.. and
Mrs. Robbins to say that this delightful
concert was projected and carried out
almost exclusively at their own expense.
and the procee.s were devoted to the
benefit Of the Church.

and utterly inccrruptible, a. no one has
dared deny. Such man is not addicted
t. mistakes, and he cannot do dishon-
est act without insansly outraging his
own nature. A personal inspection of
the Affairs of the Indian Office at Olym-
pia satisfied him that the management
had not been improved since the remo-
val Of tho former Superintendent; that
the chief clerk who was necessarily cog
infant of and implicated in all he irreg-
ularities for which the previous Super
intsndsut was removed, was occupying
the same confidential position with the
present, and that the same cautes for
. change existed now that did when the
Immediately previous change was made.
AL candid men will admit that in se-
lecting = successor. Colonel Kimball.
displayed most remarkable sagacity. aud
. devotion to public interests beyond
the suspicion Of any ulterior motive.
Marshal Blinn, though Replican. is
NO partisan. and las mover sought party
influence or favor with the Administra-
ton. Independent iE fortune. he has
no public ambition to crafty but to aid
by his large means and unsurpassed
Business capacity. in tho growth and
prosperity of the country in which he
has achieved fortune second to none
and character for probity, integrity,
social liberality and public munificencc
without peer.
In administering the affairs of the
Office he will bs Ably seconded by Capt.
Frank Tarbell. his chief clerk. and if
venaiity or corruption creeps irto any
of its departments we will be forced to
confess that Office and rascality are in
seperable. The appointment il credit
to the Administration and an honor to
the Territory.
