A RUSH AT THE SOUP KITCHENS.

The continued cold weather has had its influence
on the hungry and destitute population of the city.
The Delm0nlc0 Kitchens are now crowded every
day, and the raw and piercing winds Of the early
March days are driving hundreds of the poor to
seek assistance at these places where good hot
soup can be obtained without money or extra toll.
The amount OF soup distributed yesterday at the
different kitchens under the management OF Chef
Ranhorer we give below, with the understanding
that In many places there was not soup enough,
and number OF people had to content them

The hast number of the Wash
ington Standard comes loaded
down with an old and stale ac-
count Of Judge Jacobs endorse,
ment Of Sheriff Carson's bill for
the keeping and transportation Of
prisoners. This whole matter has
been published and republished
before. and is dug up now to fur
nish material for the Democratic
tooth to convert into scandal, to
detract from Judge Jacobs fair
fame. tsss- 3roa
Under the law authorizing the
Sherilfs 10 collect their fees for
such services, the duty Of the
Judge was confined TO the certify
ing that the services were actually
rendered, and It was the duty Of
the Territorial Auditor to credit
the value Of those services and Is,
sue the scrip to which the claim
ant was entitled. 5eo es
In the case cited by the Stand
ard the Judge certified that the
services were rendered, and the
Auditor, who was new in the bu-
sinsss, issued the scrip for the
amount expressed on the face Of
the bill. Subsequently, suit was
brought against Sheriff Carson by
the Prosecting Attorney of this
District in Judge Jacobs Court,
and four hundred dollars recovered
and paid back to the Territory. 81.
The plain inference to be
drawn from the Standards article
is, that Judge Jacobs had pro6ted

THE DELEGATESHIP.

The Seattle Intelligencer, which
has up to its last issue preserved
neutrality on the subject of the
Delegateship, now speaks out its
honest convictions, as follows:
In the nominee of the Republi-
can party we find exemplifed that
man whom the urgent necessities
of our Territory and people sug-
gestcd to us before his nomination,
as the candidate who would COM
mand the support Of the people,
and CRAFTY all good men, irrespec-
tive Of party, by his election.
Furthermore, from our personal
knowledge of Judge Jacobs nat
ural and acquired ability, his
ready tact, his wide acquaintance
with every want of the people of
the Territory, his commanding in
fuence and his familiarity in the
walks of public life, together with
our well-proven confidence in his
steadfast honesty and integrity of
purpose, we are further assured
that after he is elected Delegate
which he will be, as sure as the
evening shall succeed the morn,
on the third of November next by
an overwhelming majority-he
will give his time and labors Who'll
| ly to the duties of his trust, and
devote his first and last attentions
to the imperative wants of Wash
ington Territory, and more largely
contribute to her material progress
and Development than all the del
egates we have ever had before.
/ For these reasons we are in
duced to come to his support, and,
regardless of party, urge upon our
readers everywhere the importance
and necessity of his election, and
of a prompt discharge of their du-
ties as citizens by according him
their votes, however well they may
be convinced of his assured sue
cess.

Orange JaedSS, the the Peoples Choice.
An Independents. view osgDars Jacob.

The Portland 0regonian, the
organ of the Independentsin in Ore
gon, in late issue, spoke in re-
gard to the election in this Terri
tory as follows:
Knowing Judge Jacobs person
ally, and knowing him for first
class man, we should feel grati6ed
at his election, as we should re-
gard it as a triumph of honesty
and morality in the Republican
party. It viii probably be con-
ceded that we are not wishing for
Judge Jacobs election on parti-
san grounds. We are of the opin-
ion the question Of Republican and
Democrat is entirely too insignifi-
cant d matter to be made the basis
of contest for the Delegateship
from Washington Territory, in the
present situation of affairs. What
the people of that Territory want
is a man in Congress- man who
will make it his first and last care
to attend to the great wants of the
Northwest coast and especially Of
Washington Territory. Such q
man is Judge Jacobs.

said by it in his faver is one that
that will cause Walla Walla people

TEMPERANCE man. Now, the nut
that we wish the Echo to crack is
this: If Mr.. Sharpstein is a tenn
perance man, why did he I" fix" so

the Echo will answer WHY

DoN'T LIKE IT.--The Dayton
News, a Democratic paper recent
ly started in Walla Walla county,
by A. J. Cain, is dissatisfied with
the nomination of Sharpstein, and
on behalf of the Democrats in that
section, says: at is with regret
that we are compelled to acknowl-
edge the deep-seated dissatisfac-
ton amongst the Democrats of this
part of the county with the nomi-
nation Of B. L. Sharpstein, Esq,

NEAH BAY, w. T., !

Oct. 2S, 1874.
The weather in the vicinity of
Cape Flattery for the past twenty
days has been calm and foggy.
On the 22d inst. we had a fresh
breeze from the westward, bring
ing in a bundle of vessels that had
been becalmed outside. The bark
Isaac Jeans passed out on the 23d,
since which time we have had
northeast winds and clear weather.
wAIF FROM THE OCEAN.
On the 18th inst. Mr.. Fisher,
while walking the beach about 20
miles south of Cape Flattery, saw
a boat in the surf. He succeeded
in getting it safe on shore and
found it to be light sharp stern
boat about fifteen feet long, paint
ed green outside and yellow in
side, well finished, and apparently
new. The iron row-locks were
unshipped and hanging by the
lanyards, which is proof she was
not in use when lost. 1 think it
is sea otter hunters boat, and
washed off the beach or some YES
sel's deck. There was only a little
rain water in her when found. She
is now in possession of Mr.. Thos.
Stratton, Deputy Collector at Neah
Bay, where the owner can get her
by proving property and paying
costs.
FUR SEALING AND SEA OTTER
HUNTING.
On the 10th inst, the schooner
Cygnet, NJ. NJ. Kimberly, Master,
arrived from the Northwest coast,
where she has been for the past
four months fur sealing and sea
otter hunting. The captain reports
poor success, having only got
about so sea offers and $50 fur
seals. The vessel proceeded to
Victoria, where it is presumed Mr..
Eoscowitz will purchase the furs.
The Cygnet left Neah Bay on the
9th of June, taking two Makah In
dams as part Of the crew, paying
them one dollar per diem. When
the captain came on shore tosettle
with them in presence of the
Agent, the Indians pulled out long
strings full of knots, every knot
representing a day. By this meth

going around the Sound as an
earnest of his ideas of retrench-
ment and reform-his hiring an
inferior scun boat to take him
from Tacoma to Seattle for 81
