The SAN JUAN MURDERs.-The Victo-
ria Colonist of the 26th, gives the follow
ing account of the arrest of the supposed
murderers of Capt. Dwyer and wife on
San Juan Island:
Yesterday morning two Kanaka boys,
brothers, and residents Of San Juan Is
land, named Joe" and '.Kie," were
arrested in town charged with being
concerned in the murder of Capt. Dwyer
his wife and their unborn child. Later
in the day an old Kanaka, who is said
to have been lurking in Lake District
Tor some days, and Flatheai Indian
called "CharIey" were brought in, charg
ed with being concerned in the same
crime. The Police went to Sea Bird
Island on Thursday night and searched
the Indian huts there for proceeds of
the crime. but found nothing. Return
ing to town early yesterday morning,
Mr.. 7. G. Murphy OF San Juan Island.
and Cornelius Francis arrested joe"
the eldest Of the two bro.ters, on Yates
street. '.Joe" appeared to understand
the gravity of the situation at once and
is credited with having said, "Charley
knows all about it!' Joe" was march,
ed off to goal, whittier his bl other had
preceded him. and was locked up.
Charley, the Indian, was met on Fort
street by Cornelius Francis, special
constable, as he was walking into town
with his cloothman, and taken to prison.
Charley ia the fellow who found the
body of P. Stocker. the pest-house su-
icide, last winter, and deftly stripped
the body of Its good clothes and substi-
tuted his own ragged habilin, nts there
for. He is looked upon as thoroua hly
bad Indian. "Joe" and ''Kie" are the
children Of Kanaka father and an In
dian mother, and are aged IS and 16
years respectively, On the Wednesday
preceding the discovery of the murders

neighbor Of their fathers and went
out ostensibly to shoot game. When
the gun was returned the same. evening
there was blood on the barrel, the pres

OaKE AMEs AS He WAs.-From the
Washington correspondent of the Spring
field Republican we copy the following
There is a strong disposition here to
speak kind words of Mr.. Ames. now
that he is in his grave at North Easton.
In fact there nevsr was any feeling here
against him except among dozen of
MIR. Co'fax's friends. The vote of CEN
sure IN the last house was forced by the
facts against him. but nobody had ill
feeling for Mr.. Ames Judge Poland,
the Chairman of the Committee report.
Ing the resolutions, kept up his persona!
friendship for Mr.. Ames to the last. /
heard him say privately On one occasion:
'' The cacts compel me to move vote
of censnre on Mr.. Ames. but had no
idea that he was conscious of wrong
doing. and in watching his course care
fully through the whole investigation
have come to the conclusion that ne
IS wonderfully honest man, and he is
certainly kind hearted and generous.
He should never have come to Congress,
forhe knew nothing whatever of politics.
If he could have believed that public
men would lie to escape conviction of
having taken Credit Mobilier stock of
him. he would have declined to let them
have it. or taken good care to preserve
such evidence VI the transaction as
would have rendered it impossible fer
them to deny it. Probably there are
not half "A dozen men in the country
who knew Mr.. Ames who did not be-
lieve him when he made positive decla-
ration as to the facts of transaction.
No such feeling exists in regard to Mr..
Brooks. I am sorry to say He was a
cunning politician, and amassed large
fortune while in public life. His will
tells the story: he was Government Di-
rector for time in the Union Pacific
Railroad, and he at the time and soou
after contrived to get hold of over 5000,
900, in its securities. While legisl..ting
on the subjet, he was loaded down with
its bonds. "nd yet he claimed that he
was entirely impal tial-just as ready to
vote against the road as for it.

Herald, after long and painful decline
has at last succombed to the inevitable,
and given up the ghost.
The late Henry ". Cotton, in an able
and practical essay on Journalism, laid
down a few golden rules, without the
observance of which newspaper is al
most certain to fail. Among these are
the following:
Remember that newpaper publish
ing is as much business as keeping a
store or mandatory.
Beware OF the politicians.
These rules accord with the observa-
ton and experience Of every old jour
nalist. The violation OF them sealed the
fate of the Herald, as it is certain to do
by every journal. however promising,
under like circumstances. That paper,

and expert journalist and independent

upon paying basis in less time and
upon smaller expenditure of money
than any paper of like standing upon
the Pacific coast, and its commanding
inflreuce was manifest and conceded in
every general and special election. Had
it been allowed to continue under the
same management until the present
time, it would be the most valuable
newspaper property in Oregon. But
its very success was the primary cause
of its -ltimate ruin: its pecuniary pros
perity excited the cupidity of men who
sought to profit by the labors and thro'
the necessities Of others. who imagined
that the profit was in the machine and
not in its management; office-seekers
sought to control it as au instrument to
promote their selfish ambition; cross

ces were wnat every experienced jour-
nalist might have predicted with the
most uneiring certainty. Every man
connected with its publication, from
that day to the present. has lost money
by the venture. As party organ, its
manifest selfshness and personal bias
made its advocacy fatal to the party and
every cause which it espoused. II was

terror only to its friends, and its sickly
existence was only prolonged by forced

the same way unless they speedily
change hands and shake off the political
ieeches which are now fastened upon
them. A party paper may succeed le-

for a wealthy woman to work. But the
great secret is that women did not want
to work they are lazy. They want to
spend the money that men earn"
The g nile Anna, like all women re-
formers, mis-. epresents her sex. 1t is
not true that women, as rule, are more
inclined to Incidence and self-iniulg-
ence than men, or that they are less in
terested and painstaking in any employ
ment that offers them a reasonable re-
remuneration for their care ard trou-
BILE. 1t is true, however, that women
being more amenable to social and con-
ventional usages, are in the main whit
men make them. 1t is not the fault of
women. but wrong for which men are
alone responsible. that they do not re-
ceive as good pay as men for work as
we'll done. 1t would be no more unjust
and absurd to establish a rule that a
women should not receive as much
goods for her money as a man, as that
she should not receive as much money
for her honest earnings as man. That
u women should lack interest in a call
ing which subjects her to such unjust
discriminations;i is but the natural con-
sequence of the system. Men demand
fair days wages for fair days work,
and less than this they will combine to
resist by physical force and lawl IS vio-
lence in cases when theyf, . themselves,
agrieved. What interest would a mab
of proper spirit feel in calling in which
he was forced to do the same work eor
less wages than others?
This is one. of the manifest wrongs
of woman which an advanced public
sentiment was speedily righting with
out the Intervention of unsexed tramps,
who harangue public assemblies upon
woman's rights and wrongs, to no other
purpose and effect than to break down
the social and conventional barriers
which shield the purity of the sex and
of the family relation, and
obliterats the lines of distinction be-
tween the virtuous and the vicious.
In this section of country women have
few if any public wrongs to complain Of.
and their domestic and social grievances
are such as legislative acts cannot rem
edy. They are secured by law in the
and enjoyment of their
own private property and the disposal
Of their own earnings. Every woman
so disposed and capable of doing ordin-
ary hopsework, can command ready
ut wages from $25 to $40
a month, which is quite equal tc the
average wages of men for an equal
Of labor. The only women who
suffer are the sick and overworked wives
and mothers who cannot command
on any terms, and whose
political enfranchisement would afford
them no relief.

A special from Washington to the San
Francisco Chronicle, dated May 2O.h.
says:
The question of the Chief Justiceship
is uppermost here. The arrival of Jud ge
Pierrepont on Saturday has added some
what to the interest, and the knowledge
to-day that he has notified the Secretary
of State and the President, that he
should be forced to decline the mission
to Russia, which had been rendered
him. has given rise to an impression
that perhaps the Judge may be offered
the more desirable place. His strength
with the President is well known. The
President at one time, when it was
thought that Secretary Fish would retire
from Office, offered him the Office of Sec
retary of State. 1t is said now that j,
is the Presidents desire to appoint At
torney General Williams as Chief JUS
ticc. and to give the Department of
Justice to Judge Pierrepont. 1t is known
that Judge Williams is strongly backed
for the vacancy, and he is himself an
eager candidate.

Of sixteen years labor during the prime

Supt. Milroy, by direction of the Sc

Mr.. Webster's claim was included in
a location of a military reserve. which
did not touch his principal improve

another excuse, SO shallow as to betray
a consciousness of the meanness of the
action, that " the labor and material for
which is said to have been mostly sup
piled by Government through Agent
Webster" The arbitrary confscatlon

tilnony, places the matter beyond the
pale Of controversy; it is despotism,

There are several other points in this
case which we would like to discuss in

pendents in this far off neck of woods,

only say in conclusion, that we have
spent the greater portion of our life in
the frontier settlements, and the law of

long rope and short shrift to all who
conspired TO rob the settler of his pre-.
