TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. - The Piocho
(Nev.) Record, OF May 30th, has the
following relative to the son of f. A.
Buck, formerly of this place: Yester-
day terrible accident occurred to Arthur
Buck, the son OF one of our most re-
spected citizens. 1t appears that Arthur.
with several other boys, was playing in
and near the Raymond & Ely hosting
works, and among other things were
amusing themselves with moving the
railway turn-table. AS the ponderous
mass turned, it crushed the unfortunate
youths leg against the track, wedging
the limb so firmly that crow-bar had to
be used to pry the turn-table back. -
When the boy was extricatcd it was found
that his leg, above the knee, was crushed
and cut in n shocking manner. He was
conveyed to the residence of his parents,
and medical aid summoned at once. We
learn there is some hope of saving the
limb

IMPORTANT DECISION. Tho Port Town

IMPORTANT DECISION Tho Port Town
send argus contains The synopsis of
the case of Albert Offner rs. the steamer
North Pacific, recently decided in the
District Court at that place, which is of
considerable importance to the travel
ing public, in as much as the decision
settles the matter of responsibility of
common carriers of goods or merchan-
disc. In that case, the plaintiff, Mr..
Ofner, deposited valise in the fore
cabin of the steamer North Pacific, at
the wharf in Victoria-a usual thing for
passengers to do when making business
or excursion tn s on the Sound. The
valise disappeared unaccountably-even
before leaving portland the plaintiff
brought suit against the steamer for the
valise and contents, or it's equivalent.
Judge Jacobs in an elaborate opinion,
after setting forth the facts, decided
that as proof was wanting in the case
to show that the property was passed
over to the care of the officers or enl-
ployes of the boat, no responsibility
attached to them.

HE POLITICAL OUTLOOK. 1.-The indi-
cations are exceedingly encouraging for
the success of the Democratic nominee.
MIR. Sharpstein, for Delegate to Con-
gress. While in Portland last week we
met several prominent citizens of Walla-
.walla and the river counties, and they all
predict that he will carry the eastern
country by sweeping majorities. The
Statesman estimates his majority in Wal
la-walla ounty alone at 600, and predicts
that remaining counties will take him to
the Cascades by not less than POO ma
jority. On the Sound, Mr.. Sharpstein
has no enemies and he will make friends
wherever he goes, while Judge Jacobs
has the bitter opposition of many lead
ing men of his own party. 1t is gener-
ally conceded by impartial observers
that Jacobs does not stand ghost of a
chance of election, and that the buster
a few Of Ferry and Salomon's satellites
is only like the boys whistle on a dark
night, to keep their courage up.

CHANGE OF ScHEDuLE.-The departure
of trains from Kalama has been changed,
since the LIST instant, to half-past eleven
A. M, instead of an hour later. The
mudwagonsa are consequently enabled to
leave Tenino for this place earlier and
arrive here about six o'clock. The
southwark bound train leaves Tacoma
an hour later, likewise, which enables
the stage to leave this place at o'clock
A. M. instead of 4 as heretofore. The
object Of the change is to make the
round trip by day light, during the win
ter season.

WHO IS B. L. sHARPSTEIN 2"

Since the nomination of Mr.. Sharp
stein as the Democratic candidate for
Delegate to Congress, we have been so
frequently asked "Who is he?' "What
is hep by our friends ofthe Sound coun-
try, that we do not consider it neces.
sary to preface the few words we have
to say of him personally with any apol-
ogy.
If he is not generally known 10 the
people of this part of the Territory, it is
for no other reason than that he has had
so little to do with office-seeking that he
has hitherto escaped alike the fulsome
laudations and bitter denunciations
which 60 to make up Territorial repu-
tation. Since his settlement at Walla-
walla, some ten or dozen years ago,
Mr.. Sharpstein has been noted for
minding his own business. While
others were seeking the bubble repu-
tatiQn" at the mouths of those partisan
cannon which are equally dangerous at
both ends, he, like the sensible man he
is, has quietly and industriously applied
himself to his profession, that of the
law, and to such good purpose, that he
has accomplished the feat by far too
unusual, of acquiring at one and the
same time, a high standing in his pyo-
fession, fair competency, and the con-
fidence and respect of all who know
him. To say that he is man of ability
integrity and honor, and of exemplary
habits, adds nothing to this. for these
are the stepping-stones by which alone
the position he occupies can be reached.
In the matter of politics, Mr.. Sharp
slime has, we believe, been an adhcrent
OF the Democratic party since he at
tanned the age of majority, though, as
already remarked, he has never shown
a disposition to seek Office, or push
himself forward as a politician. lie
represented Walla-walla county in the
Territorial Council during the Legislative
session of 1867, which, if we are not
mistaken, is the only instance in which
he has held a public position of any
kind in the Territory. His nomination
as Delegate came to him unsought, I'M
expected, and, judging from his anti
cedents, undesired. AS the chosen
standard-bearer of his party, we doubt
not he will use every honorable means
to secure its success, and if elected his
previous character and history are a
sufficient indication that the people will
secure in him an able, earnest and in
dustrious representative in Congress.

A Co1NcDENcE.-The Dispatch notes
as remarkable coincidence that Messrs.
Sharpstein and Jacobs, the opposing
candidates for Congress, were natives of
adjoining towns in Livingstone county,
Western New York, were both sons of
farmers, both removed West in early
life, Sharpsteinto Wisconsin and Jacobs
to Michigan.

OF CONSISTENCY!

The Seattle Dispatch has been en-
gagged the past two years in breaking
down party barriers. 1t has declared
itself itself independent of the old par
ties on every occasion, and opposed to
all measures having for their object the
perpetuity of former and existing po-
litical organizations. So persistently
has it adhered to this line of policy
that it had almost convinced the peo-
pie Of the sincerity of its editor, not
wi, standing his position was in noted
contrast with the views enunciated by
him in long and active journalistic
experience, extending over upwards of
thirty years. His course in the pres
ent canvass indicates, however, that
these latter-day professions are based
upon anything but honest convictions.
The alternative is now presented, ac-
cording to his own showing, for support
ing candidate who has denounced
both of the old political organizations
as corrupt and unworthy the support of
honest voters" man for whom he has
ca high respect, founded upon long
personal acquaintance" and still he
gives his adhesion to the Republican
candidate who boasts of his Republic
canism, the nominee of a strictly par
tisan convention, which reaffirmed in its
platform the original landmarks of its
organization. If there is no choice to
be made between the rival candidates,
on the score of personal merit-and the
Dispatch acknowledges Mr.. Sharpstein
to be the peer of Judge Jacobs in all
essential particulars-how can it's editor
justify his support of violent, uncom-
promising partisan on any tenable
grounds? Must it be assumed that the
Dispatch has only occupied neutral
ground to more effectually injure it's
former friends? Has the experience of
lifetime only proven the futihty of
honest, straightforward, conscientious
political effort? Must the aged, to whom
we have looked for counsels of wisdom
even as the Greeks did to their re-
yered oracle, ruthlessly demolish all
our cherished idols, and when in the
oscar and yellow leaf" declare that
there is nothing good and pure and holy
in the most patriotic impulses?
Far be it from us to take any such
contracted, uncharitable view of human
ity. We belive that virtue will still
triumph. and that Truth though crushed
to earth will rise again to vindicate her
cause. The Dispatch has only left it's
orbit and assumed the exceutric evolu-
tons of a comet in obedience to some
caprice of its editor, and although its
progress may create CONSERVATION and
awe, we do not believe that there is
the slightest cause for fear that the
planetary system will be disarranged by
its antics.

How n SETS ON THE RADICAL STOMACH,

How n SETS ON THE RADICAL STOMACH,
The trade by which Jacobs received
the unanimous vote in the Territorial
Convention does not appear to set we'll
on the Radical stomach, now that the
objects Of the manipulators becomes
more apparent. It is too late to 90 back
on the contract now, and the Northern
Pacific Railroad Co. will exact strict
compliance with the terms, or literally
send the whole party higher than kite.
So, brother Republicans, you must
swallow Wingard as Chief Justice, and
play into the hands of the monopolists
you affect to despise. Even the Couri-
er, which is noted for possessing cast
iron " innards," makes wry faces over
the dose it is compelled to swallow. It
says:
Of the Northern Pacific Railroad, and the
Oregon Steam Navigation Company have al
ready exhibited too much willingness, coup
LED with ability, to work against the inter-
ests or this Territory, east and west, to be
allowed without protest to extend their pow
er for evil. We want our legislature and
Judiciary composed of men who are above
the suspicion of being the secret agents of the
Land Ring or any other corrupt corporation"
So do the people, and SO they will
express themselves at the polls. There
will be no vacancy in the Office of Chief
Justice unless Jacobs is elected, a con-
tingency not likely to happen when the
people understand the infamous bar
gain by which he received the nomin-
alton.

The exhibit OF agricultural and mocha

held in this place, beginning last
Tuesday, was quite creditable consider
ing the difficulties under which the AS
ISOLATION have labored the present sea-
son. The display of grain is unusually
large and the samples are of excellent
quality. Some 48 varieties of grain
were presented by single exhibitor,
Mr.. Owen Bush, of this county. The
display of fruits, flowers and vegetables
is likewise good, while the mechanical
exhibit falls far short of what the pub
lie had right to expect. The atten-
dance was not large, and consisted
mainly people from this and the ada
cent counties. As we shall publish
full report in our next issue, we abstain
from further comment for the present.
