Social PHESoafxHoE.-A writer in the
Oakland Gal u Mus remarks upon q
fact which all observers have noticed,
viz: The novelty Of social pheeomina
that strikes the newcomer on his arri-
val in our Pacific States and Territories.
Often he does not understand our modes
of life, thought and action; and as fire.
quently we fail to understand him
Hence assimilation is not always easy.
| Dislike sometimes follows, and the new
conner is dissatisfied, until he accommo-,
dates himself to his new Situation and
surroundings. The people Of the Paci-
fc coast are heterogeneous people. but
many of them have been here for years,
and their ways have doubtless become
somewhat unique and provincial. This
strikes the newcomer at once, and he
does not always feel at home. Inter-
course, however, soon wears this off,
The peculiarities now noticed by strang-
ers will become less apparent as freer
communication is established and we
have larger accessions to our popula-
ton.
We have spent the greater portion of
opr life in new countries. and our OBJ
servation is that in all communities in
transition state between settlements and
commercial towns, jealousy and preiu-
dice exist between the old settlers and
newcomers, and this almost uniformly
from no fault or natural antagonism on
the part of either, but are instigated by
sort of social half-breeds, who ara nei-
ther pioneers nor newcomers, class
who like the camp followers Of the ar
my, are never found in the front of
danger or hardship. but follow immedi-
ately in the wake to come in for share
in the fruits of victory. The pioneers,
the cold settlers proper, are usually
brave and manly people. and generosity
is a natural attribute of manly courage
and jealousy or suspicion is rarely asso-
ciated with it. The sharp. intriguing
and designing spectators who immedi-
ately follow them to share in the spoils
Of their conquest, are received by them
with generous welcome and open
handed hospitality. and manageto worm
themselves into their confidence and
assume all their positions of public
trust, and sre thas prepared to poison
the con6ding and unsnspicious natures
of the pioneers of the country against
all newcomers bringing with them more
intelligence, a higher degree OF eiviliza-
ton, enterprise and commercial resour-
ces. as personal enemies. invading their
territority for purposes of conquest and
subjugation. But when the old settler
discovers that the innovations and i'm
proyelnents greatly enhance the value
of his own possessions and surround
himself and family with comforts and
blessings they had never before dream
ed of, his better nature asserts its SUI
premacy, he becomes the fast friend of
the newcomer, and the mischief-maker
sinks out of sight, or seeks other fields.
for plying his vocation.

A Lively ORAcLE.-The Transcript
is satisfied from ''diligent inquiry" that
there is no foundation for the cru
nors" of railroad lettings on the Pacific
division Of The Northern Pacific Rail-
road, notwithstanding we published the
statement as fact not as ruInor-
some time since. and it was accepted as
such by all of the other Olympia papers.
This fact came to us under the sign
manual Of leading officer of the Com
pany; else We should have mentioned
it with sorae qualification less positive.
But our cotenporary. with his provin-
cial prejudices, accept nothing as truth
which does not come to him in his YER
nacular, or from the man who tells him
what to do. The DISPATCH he classes
with dedicated preachers, 'sbcok-

nAanSzRx2Apo.--The tee
graph to the authorities at Portland, sh-
nouncins the capture of Shultz. the es-
ped.consict, IN tAis city, which vas
the occasion Of coinmns9of Sensation
com menis:by the Portland papers, has
proved a very costly sell 10 the Oregon
officials, all on account of their igno-
rance of tAis-seetion. The dispatch was
dated ~ ssasastleys over the name of
Thomas White. Sheriff of Pierce &c"
By consulting McCormack's s Almanac,
or any other STANDARD authority, they
would have made the discovery that Se-
attefs IN King county. and that there
il no Sheriff IN Washington Territory
Of the name Of Whit. Bnt instead of
informing themselves, they proceeded
to act upon the anonymous and unau-
thsnticated communication as fact
Under the authority of the Snperintend-
ent of the Oregon Penitcntiary, the
Sheriff of Wasco county, with a requisi-
tien from the Governor, was dispatched
to Olympia to find out the location of
Seattle, and take the fugitive convict
back to Oregon, dead or alive. Here
they were again at fault. Shultz owed
an unexpired term to the Territorial
"
penitentary, FROM which he escaped
prior to the commission of the crime Of
which he was convicted in Oregon. and
had he been taken by any Sheriff here,
he would have been returned to the pen
itentiary at Steilacoom, where he law
fully belongs. After all this exhibition
of official stupidity, the Portland papers
attempt to ridIcule our officers for mis-
taking the Sheriff they sent over here
for than escaped convict. But nothing
is more natural than that a nun engag-
ed in such manifest tom -foolery should
make himself an object of suspicion.
