Il.c Texas Question.

1t is the general opinion among the
Republican COngreSsmentl that it will be
very impolitic for the Administration
to sustain the Republicans of Texas in
their efforts to nullify the result of the
late electio in that State, more espe-
cially as they recognized its validity
by taking Il part in 1t. The Democrat
ic majority III the State is oyerwhelm-
ing. The Democratic leaders send
word here that they are resolved to in
stall III their offices. these who were
elected, unless prevented by over
whelming Federal interference. Mr..
Williams may be very anxious to do for
Davis what be did for Kellogg, but if
the President follows his counsel again
he will DO it in opposition to the views
of the large majority of his supporters
The Attorney General, however, stated
to day in conversation that he Iii d
given nothing like a positive assurance
to any one OF what action he would re-
commend liz the Texas matter He
said that he had had some conversation
on the subject, but not beyond that.
When tho subject came before him
officially ho would give his opinion. -

trust to him the mate to the missing

Madame tho Dutchess, without q

In the hands Of the trusty officer the

profound bow, left the apartment, and
madame retired once more-this time

\ Washington letter writer says -
! For the past twenty years there has
! been a claim before Congress known
as the "Atochc claim" Gen Atoehe,
who presented the claim in person,
/ was handsome Mexican officer who
! suffered in some way during the Meyi-
can war, and was compelled by Santa
Anna to leave the country. His losses
were secured TO him when Mexico paid
orr government indemnity. 7 say it
with regret, that when money ouce
passes into the hands Of the govern
. ment, it is very hard to get It back
again, for the policy seems to be to
avoid the payment CT every just debt
! If possible. Thus We see persons with
indisputable claims spending lifetime
il the vain effort of obtaining justice,
and bequeathing the claim as legacy
to their children. Gen. Atoche has
been dead for years. bat his widow
aIi two daughters survive. The eldest
is the wife of Capt. Ammon, the most
intimate friend OF the President. Mad
aHle Atoche lives with Mrs. Ammon.
Before Congress adjourned last
! March, the Atoche claim was allowed.
but when Mr.. Jannin, her lawyer, went
to the treasury to draw the money, Mr..
Gushing and Gen. Butler were on hand
with an attachment for their client,
a wealthy Mexican named Randero.
Randero's claim covered the entire
! amount, near two hundred thousand
! dollars After attaching the money, it
was necessary to allow certain length
of time to ciapse before either party
could draw the money. That especial
| day occurred about two weeks ago.
| The first persons who entered tho treas
vry on that important day were Mad
anne Atocho and her lawyer, who pro-
! ceedeu to the auditor cffice, where all
the papers were ready to be signed.
! This was qnickly done, and proceeding
to the cashiers Office, the money was
! duly counted, receipted and delivered.
| The parties left rejoicing. Two hours
! later, Mr.. Cushing and Gen. Butler
entered, expecting to carry off great
piles of greenbacks. Imagine their
| CONSERVATION when told that tho money
was paid. / have heard that General
Butler made things lively, for when
had he ever before been outwitted
He said that they did not come before
II o'clock because he thought that, even
if Madame Atoche got there ut 8, it
! would take two hours to make out til e
papers. The question is, who Was the
friend that limited to the auditor that
it would be we'll to be prepared TO re-
ceive Madame Atochc as soon as the
Office opened for business? Mr.. Jan
min gets q fee of thirty thousand dol
lars, and Mr.. Gushing and Gen. Butler
are minus about that amount.

The MAN FOR THE PLAcE.-We allude
with special pride to the nomination of
Juo. P. Judson, Esq, for Prosecuting
Attorney in the second Judicial District.
He is man of mature experience and
excellent judgment, thorough lawyer,
commencing respect alike from bench
and bar. We have too much regard for
the good sense of the people to admit
the possibility of his defeat. His COM
petitor is boy. who would appear to
much better advantage behind dry
goods counter than in O court room.
The heavy costs the people have hitherto
had to pay in criminal prosecutions
should impel them to select the best
material for public prosecutors, and
much less entrust the duty to those of
little or no experience.
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1874-10-24

ARMED AND EQUIPPED. We understand
that Gov. Solomon and his brevet
have gone down into Chehalis county to
begin vigorous campaign. They took
stores for a weeks journey, intending to
camp and keep "open house" during
their sojourn with the people. It is
said their supplies consist, in the main
of half dozen bottles of Democratic
doctrine" and three kegs of Republi-
can principles" AS the community
they visit is noted for temperance and
sobriety, it is believed that these arti-
cles were intended for home consump-
ton" Their stay will be governed by
the length of time their supplies last,
and their most intimate friends predict
an early return.
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1874-10-24

a
when it is considered that the crtras de-
manded by the judicial stomach are
mul,ifarious and varied. 1t is not im-
probable that ft-shell crabs and snipes
on toast, constituted part Of the bill of
fare on that memorable occasion, and
as these delicacies are exceedingly rare,
it is not surprising that the charges
should run far above the prices of prov
ender for ordinary mortals. Then,
again, the charges for transportation
by steamer, as suggested by Mr.. Z. l..
Smith when investigating the charge
of corruption and fraud, forces the con-
viction that Sheriff Carson must have
chartered steamers to perform the trips
from Monticello to Portland, from
Portland to Vancouver and from Van
couver to Monticello, to keep the judi
cial ermine from contact with the vul-
gar throng, else why is the sum of sew
enty-fye dollars required for this par
ticular service? The hotel bill at Port
land, forty dollars, and that at Vancou-
yer, one hundred dollars, we will pass
with the simple remark they may not
be greatly in excess of the extra servi-
ces and superior accommodations af-
forded when such distinguished guest
travels incognito, like French count"
or n Spanish hereditary grandee.
The most remarkable feature in the
bill, however, is the judicial demonstra-
ton that man, or party of men. may
be in different places at the same time.
This ubiquity of the human race has,
we believe, never before been claimed,
much less sustained by legal acumen.
We find that while the prisoners and
guards returned by way of the Yelm
prairie, as is shown by the hotel"
bills at Linkliter's $3.50 and Wagner's
(s20), that they also came by the way of
Olympia, as the item of stage fare to
that place 1885, and thence to Stella
COON (s40) amply show. This novel
situation will reverse some of the musty
axioms in law and metaphysics, and
make it hereafter exceedingly difficult
especially in Judge Jacobs court
to establish an abb.
With these comments, we leave the
subject for the Judge, with the aid of
the fertile Imagination of his ally, Gov.
Ferry, to 6 fix up so that it can be
swallowed by honest men. How it can
be done, we are at loss to conceive,
but the prolific brain of his excellency
is never found wanting in expedients.
Probably the Judge will give us dis
sertation on the peculiar diet afforded
at country inns for those travelling in
state or possessing the ability to pay a
round price for a square meal, and this
may be followed by few hints as to
the approved mode of steamboat travel
when expense is no object. The trav-
cling public will be grateful for the in
formation, although they may never DO

KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE, That
Jacobs, the Republican standard bearer,
in his official capacity, sentenced man
to four years confinement in the Peni-
Tertiary for stealing Kiuse, worth fifty
dollars, and imposed the same punish
m ent on man who committed cold
bloodcd murder.

within and above account and find it legal,
just and correct. o. JACOBS,
Acting Judge of the Sd Judicial District.
Approved and warrant drawn June 2, 1870.
Territorial Auditor.
The amounts of these items puts one
forcibly in mind of the flush days in Cal
ifornia, when dust" was the only cur
rency and horn-spoon the only means
Of weight or measure. Then few dol
lars in excess of the usual demand was
not scrutinized 80 closely as now, when
fractions of a dollar are considered to
be of some value.
The taxpayers will scarcely under
stand why it was that Sheriff Carson
Paid fourteen dollars per day for each
of his guards, or why he needed two
men to guard one, unless we state in
the outset the fact that Judge Jacobs,
the identical Judge of the Third Judi
cial District, was one of the heightened
posse, and boon companion another,
which conveyed the prisoner on his
eight days journey to Vancouver and
the nine days trip back. But true it is
that the learnedJudge, ever intent upon
turning an honest penny" did arm
and equip himself " as the law directs"
and accompany Sheriff Carson on his
perilous journey with the noted despe-
RADIO Prisk st. Martin. Those who
feel inclined to scrutinize the per diem
rather closely must remember that the
judicial eye never closed and was on
duty day and night during the memoir
able intervals Of eight and nine days
duration. Nor will it be claimed by
anybody who has the dignity of the
honored position of Judge atheart, that
twenty-five dollars for supper and break
fast at Olympia, or thirty-fve dollars
~ like refreshments at Monticello and

composed of the names of men who with
one exception, of which it does not be-
come us to speak, command uni
versal respect in the community and
throughout the county. They are all
men of good practical judgment and ex-
perience, identified with the interests
of the people. 1t is ticket which any
man, no matter what may be his creed
or belief, may feel pride in support
ing. That it will be elected is univer-
sally conceded, and favorable indica-
ton Of this is observed in the fact that
our opponents have begun to remodel
their ticket. One name is already
dropped, and few days ago a delega-
ton visited another of the nominees
who lives a dozen miles in the county,
to persuade him to resign that a more
acceptable man might be substituted in
his place. Fellow-citizens, you have
