SEATTLE, March G, 1873.

Things move quite lively here, and | am more
and more pleased with the country, the longer l
stay. Although [ have not as yet made much, I am
confident ali will come out right. l have taken up
some land, but have not done anything with it as
vet, as it costs heavily to clear it. L have bought
into a tract of land on which is a coal mine, and to
all appearance it is going to turn out a big thing.
We have been offered three times the amount we
paid for il, already. 1t is the same mine mentioned
in the following paragraph from a Seattle paper of
Feb. 10, copied in the Sacramento Union:
Coal AND IRON.-A new coal mine is being
opened about ten miles south of this city on Cedar
river. The vein is from three and 3 half to four
feet thick. 1t IS convenient 70 steamboat navIga-
ton connecting with this port. An extensive bed
of iron is said to exist in the immediate vicinity of
this coal mine.
This is bona Ode and no humbug. have been
at work on the mine, with a gang of men, headed
by an experienced coal miner, and run 4 tunnel
into the vein BY good judges this is pronounced
the best strike of new coal yet. As l have lived
long at the Islands. 1 would like for my friends to
know that Haley did not lose by coming here.
Business is quite lively here at present, but as
the spring opens it will still more improve. Our
winter has been very mild. and I have not suffered
with the cold, except a few days while at the mine,
when il showed.
There is a surplus of men here to do what there
is 70 be done. consequently wages are low. There
are numbers of men who are willing to work az al
most anything but cannot find employment. Cap
taius Of steamers get not over &75 per month. and
have to lug freight and pass frewood, most Of them,
like deck hands.
You remember Forbes that 81 stepped out z" from
the Islands some time ago. He died here the other
day, after q long and painful illness. ]. S. Dick
son, the painter Is here, and | believe doing we'll.

Annual relief from taxation by annexation 912, 994 IL
If the amount of American customs duties
is only $3.50, 900 annually this balance
should be still further reduced .......15 00O, 90
So that the annual relief at the ---
lowest possible estimate will be-. 1872, 1914, II
This will satisfy candid readers that annexation
will relieve our annual burdens by an amount be-
tween $3.50, 900 and 81, 000, 900.
Thus much in support of the good faith of my
original estimates. May it not be added that every
one is forcibly reminded Of the helplessness of our
position by illusions to changes in the American
tariff by the act of q Congress in which we have no
voice. 4 Reciprocity Treaty may relieve Us from
heavy duties during q limited period, but the tariff
Of the Great Republic may be repeatedly reduced
with its increasing prosperity. What advantage
shall We then have over other countries which have
paid nothing to secure such q result? There is u
homely adage about beating the bush and catching
the bird. On the other hand, if this country is in
corporated into the American Union the federal in
iuence will become paternal. Free trade at home
will be perpetually secured by constitutional provis-
ions, but there will be an increasing disposition to
foster the industries of this outlying possession by
~judieious tariff legislation. S. H. p.

The War of the Roses.

ga rose by any other name would smell as sweet
\ newspaper duel has been going on during the past
two weeks between the GaseHe and the yf4hou,
somewhat TO the amusement if not altogether to tie
ediication of the public. We d~eprecate such contro-
versies, as scarcely ever productive of good to either
party. For ourselves, safe on neutral ground, we
may be likened unto the old lady who saw a fight
going on between her husband and the bear-'twas
of slight consequence TO her which whipped. Mean
time the public appears to be viewing the matter
judicially, as shown by the following ruling by
one of the members of that Court:
In The matter Of los Excy,r,o,o
NJ Hou Us. Gazette.
Counsel for " M Hou " excerpts to reconsideration
of character, in this issue, previous to September 4,
1869, on the ground that the defendant, Gazette"
did at that time, without solicitation, Of his own free
will and accord, give to the plaintiff q receipt in full,
in terms, to wit: Now let our readers judge for
themselves as to whether a gentleman (plaintif) of,
go far as we know unimpeached veracity, &C., &C."
The defendant having at the time n full knowledge Of
the character of the plaintiff in all matters previous
to that date, September 4, 1869, and having Of his
own motion, g without solicitation, for this state
ment is not denied by the efendant-given the
receipt in question, he cannot at his own option set
the receipt aside, or ignore it, without manifest in
justice to the plaintiff. The rule in such cases is
plain. This Court is of the opinion That the ex-
ception is well taken; that the receipt is a good and
sufficient bar to all claims previous to September 4,
1859; that the defendant mast limit himself to items
Of account since that date. HALLIBURTON J.

A BILL has been introduced in the
Tennessee Legislature providing foI
a State Constitutional Convention in
1874. There is no need for Consti
tutional Convention, and we trust
the bill will be defeated. The Con-
stitution We now have was framed
by the ablest body that ever assem-
bled in the State, and ratified by the
people by an overwhelming MAORI
ty; and it is scarcely possible to get
another framed with so few obiec-
tionable features. The clause relat-
ing TO corporations and counties
voting for railroads, which requires
three-fourths majority, might be
beneficially amended so as to allow
civil districts to vote for subscrip-
tons separately, but it is not mat
ter of sufficient importance 10 jus t.
fy the necessity of burdening our al
ready tax-riGden people with the
heavy expenses which a Constitu-
tional Convention would incur. The
law was but the natural result at the
time of a reaction against Radical
extravaganza, which had well re-
duced Tennessee to a state of bank
ruptcy.

that have failed, through accident and
other causes, to be great successes on
the turf, and consequently could he
bought cheap, to be scattered over the
states TO stand free of cost, or for mere
Iy nominal prices" The object is to
give the country the benefit of thor

as, running and controlling the tele-
graph lines and railroads of the whole
country, by the Government.

SOME time ago, a white man named j.
z. BELL, married a negro woman in Miss
issippi, which State, being in control OF
negroes, permits such marriages. They
moved TO Davidson county, Tennessee,
and continued 10 live together as man and
wife. BELL was indicted for the offense,
it being against the law in Tennessee for
Il white man to marry or live in marital
relations with a black woman. The in
dictment was quashed, and the State
took an appeal to the Supreme Court OF
Tennessee. Judge PETER TURNEY has
given his opinion, which reyerses the
judgment and romands the case tor
trial. He said:
" Each State is sovereign-a govern
ment within, OF and for itself, with the
Inherent and essential right to declare
and maintain its own political economy
for the good of its citizens, and cannot
be subjected to recognition OF a fact or
act cOntravening its public policy and
against good morals as lawt uI because it
was made or existed in Il State having
no prohibition against it, or even per-
hitting it. Extending the rule to the
width asked for 10y the defendant, and
we might have in Tennessee the father
! living with the daughter, the son with
the mother, the brother with the sister,
| in lawful wedlock, because they had
formed such relations in State or coun-
try where they were not prohibited.

merous wives, may establish his harem

more unnatural than the case before us.

The Knoxville Press aud Herald
has the news Of the arrest at Toronto,
Canada, Of Thos. G. Boyd, of Sweet
water, Tenn, whose alleged murder
on Laurel Mountain last September
made sc much noise. Afterwards
''the belief bee me general that Boy d
had concocted the affair to escape,
apprehending conviction in the Uni
ted States Court on a number of
charges preferred against him OF
criminal action in connection with
pension claims against the Govern
ment, and by persuading the COM
munity of his death get away from
the grip of the law, relieve his bonds
men, and secure to his family the
heavy insurance on his life." The ar
rest is due to the thorough search
instituted by one of Boyd's bonds

AFTER consuming several days in


AFTER consuming several days in
fruitless balloting, the Legislature
elected w. w. HOBBS, of Humphreys
County, Comptroller of this State.
The Union and American says:
William w. Hobbs, the newly
elected Comptroller, was born in
Hickman cnanty, Tennessee, III 1882.
lie continued to reside il that coun-
" until the year 1858, when he, re-
moved to Humphreys county, where
he has ever since resided. Shortly
before his removal from Hickman
county, he married daughter Of Mr..
Coleman L. Harris, a well known cit
zen OF Humphreys. lie is the son
of Rev. Claiborne Hobbs, Of Hick-
man, minister Of the Primitive
Baptist Church, well known through
out that section of the State.
"Mr. Comptroller Hobbs held the
position of Clerk of the County Court
Of Humphreys county for several
years previous TO the war. lie en-
tered the army during the war, retir-
ing home at its close with an arm
shattered in the battle at Parker's
Cross Roads, and with his finances at
low ebb. He was shortly after
this elected to his old position of
Clerk of the County Court, which he
continued to fill until a late date,
when he resigned on account OF fee
BILE health.
'1Ie is the owner of a fine farm in
the vicinity OF Waverley, upon which
he is now living. lie is an old school
Democrat. 1t is understand that he
favors all measures tending to bring
to the favorable notice of imml-
grants the vast resources of our State,
and that he is strongly III favor of
advancing the State credit by fund
ing the present Indebtedness and re-
Stunning the payment of interest at
the earliest practicable date. We
learn that in the management of his
private business he has been very
fortunate. His friends predict for
him a successful career in the man
agement of tie revenue and financial
affairs of the State"
DR.. MORROW, of Knoxville, was
almost unanimously reelected Treas
urer OH the first ballot. lie has made
an excellent officer, and the follow
ing tribute by the same paper is not
undeserved
"OfDr. Morrow, the present Treas
urer, it is unnecessary for us to
speak. He is known in every coun-
ty in the State. The almost unani-
nous vote which he received, with
GU: regard to political distinctions,
shows the very high esteem i'll which
he is held by the representatives of
the people. The tribute paid to
him in his reelection is but deserv-
ed to one of the most pleasant and
efficient officers we ever had in Ten
nessee.
1--WE believe that the friends OF
education. immigration and State
credit have great cause to be graft
fed at the result of the action of our
Legislators in choosing their State
officers"
