at the invitation of Professor Kerr, and no
citizen Of the State or visitor to, Raleigh
should leave without examining Professor
Kerrs collection of minerals Almost at
one view one can see the mineral wealth of
the State, and it is wonderful. Professor
Kerr deserves the greatest credit for the
zeal and industry he has displayed in max
this collection. The Convention then as a

by whom it was cordially received. A
toast to Ills Excellency was propounded
by Mr.. Skinner, of the Henderson Tribune,
and called forth hearty response. Some
members of the Press who. were notlpres-
ent have criticised this action Jon the part
of the Association, forgetting, we think,
the respect done the office in their dislike
| for the man.
The Convention again occupied "a short
time in business, and at about P. NJ car
riages were at the Yarboro House at its
disposal. The first place visited was the
! STATE PENfTENTIARY!
| This institution is still in process of
building, the work going slowly on, being
done almost entirely by conyicts and at
| little cost to the State. The pen1tentiary
containes little of interest to the cursory
visitor, and hence the Press folks were
willing enough to tuIn from it to other
walls, where persons were alike confined
and taught, but where the bonds were not
stockades and muskets but love and
reverence, and girls were taught for spheres
of usefulness and respect in the world.

BUSINESS FAILURES. The high repu-
tation of Puget Sound in business cir
cles on the Coast will be remembered
with the things that were, if a few more
tradesmen close-out, under the circum-
stances attending several recent "fail-
ures' in this vicinity. There are occa-
sionally causes that lead to suspension,
which provoke our heartfelt sympathy,
but when an individual energies from
the bankrupt court to build fine houses
and, fyuratively. ride high horses, it is
time for the community to enquire
whether such transactions must be toll
Grated to the serious detriment of hon
est men. We speak in general terms
of growing evil, but one in which
every business man feels positive in
terest. They have the remedy. Why
not apply it and insist upon cash trans
actions, in all instances as the only safe
guard for honest men.

FIRE.-We learn from the Port Town

his petty spleen against us is only
equaled by his nauseating laudations of

use him for pen-wiper.

To THE FARMERS. - The people of
Olympia and Tumwater, with few from
the country, are making great endeavors
to grade the Olympia Tenino Railroad
by their own exertions, and thus reduce
the amount of bonds that may be need
ed to complete the road. You can ma
terially assist them by donating sup
plies to the regular camp, no matter
how little, and by working week, Or
even a day, on the grade on Rocky
Prairie. Teams and scrapers are needed
there. Board will be furnished you at
the regular camp.

Mrs. Williams's landaulet has 80 FRIGHT.

Mrs. Williams's landaulet has so fright
ened them, that they have lost faith in
anybody's discretion, and should they
catch the Secretary of State with bot
tie OF Spauldings glue in his pocket,
ten to one, that committee would he
sent up to the department, to compel
him to show where he got it. They
talk and act rs though no Cabinet Off
Ger, or head of a Bureau, was to be
trusted, as to either judgment or hon
esty, and if poor clerk gets a pen
knife at Christmas, under custom that
has come down from the days of Gen.
jackson, the circumstance sends cold
chill through the frames of Congress
men, and the nation is declared to be
on the verge of bankruptcy. Now it is
all very we'll to he economical, but that
must come as regards small matters,
from the Administrative, and not the
Legislative department. If Bureau
officers cannot be trusted to buy their
Office furniture, their brooms, towels
and pen-knives, they must be a poor
lot indeed, and it is highly inconsistent
to keep such scoundrels in positions
when they have to settle the thousand
millions which annually come before
them. To take for granted that they
will steal all the small articles they can
lay their hands on does not seem the
best way to give character to the SER
vice.
PASSAGE OF THE OLYMPIA-RAILROAD BILL.
The bill authorizing the Commission
ers of Thurston county to issue bonds
to aid in the construction of railroad
to connect with the Northern Pacific,
passed the House yesterday, and will
be law soon rs it receives the Presi-
dental signature. Delegate McFadden
has almost moved heaven and earth for
favorable action, and ON the passage of
the bill he appeared almost overcome
with Joy that the suspense was ended
and his efforts had been crowned with
success. Immediately on the passage of
the bill, MIR. Hale, of New York, arose
to make parliamentary inquiry, Wheth-
er or not it would be in order to move
to take recess of ten minutes to ena-
bic the Democratic party to congratu-
late the Delegate from Washington
Territory on the passage of the bill ?
The Speaker replied that the House
seemed to be taking recess without a
motion. Mr.. Randall then moved that
the House adjourn /" so that the hilarity
might continue" Delegate McFadden
received congratulations from all sides,
an indication of the high personal re-
gard entertained for him by our law
makers.

in its TRADE against us says:
Because Judge Greene happened to stand
in front of Mr.. James Prayts .doggery, and
was accompanied by number of ladies and
gentlemen who conducted the singing, there
fore Judge Greene was undermining the law
So it appears that Judge Greene only
happened to stand in front of Mr.. Pray's
saloon, and merely happened to be &C.
companied by ladies. If this is true,
the Judge is not free moral agent, but
the creature of circumstances, and ought
to be taken care Of. We might assert
that Balaam's ass happened to speak on
a certain occasion, which is more than
the Echo claims for its champion.

that that body adjourn sine die. The

OF the financial troubles, would be most
effectually allayed by the adjournment

nels, no Congress, in the opinion of the

contempt than that numbered the 43d.

caused many of our people to cease
work in favor of the Olympia Tenino
Railroad, and this disposition has man.

necessitate the stoppage of the work,
and the disbanding of our grading force
for lack of support. And this too,
when two-thirds of the road is graded

when month, or at most six weeks OF

this evening for the purpose of render
ing an account to the public of the sit
uation of affairs and of announcing
the decision of the Trustees in regard
to future work. Everyone should at.
tend. If you are to poor to support

stances. Now If we probe the clerical
conscience, will we not find hidden way
back somewhere n doubt as to the pro-
rrie:y of prayer rs means OF coercion

Or will he acknowledge that he has two
sets of prayers to he worn like two suits
of garments, one on weekdays and the
other on Sabbath?
1t is claimed that street preaching
is only adopted as a means for reaching
those who do not go to church. We
have shown that those of our citizens
who never enter a church land the
number is large) are seldom seen in sa-
looms or very rarely partake of liquor in
any form, while a large proportion of
the frequenters of saloons habitually at
tend church services. The statement
has been generally admitted to be cor
rect, and we have yet to meet with any
body who has disputed the assertion.
Still it is authoritatively announced that
the campaign has but commenced, with
the implied understanding that the
prayer league" will Eight it out on
this line if it takes all Summer" -
an Inconsistency which cannot be recon-
ciled on any reasonable hypothesis. But
if the movement is really designed to re-
claim sinners who cannot be reached in
any other way, why are not all afforded
alike an opportunity to look upon the
brazen serpent and be saved? Why is
it that the preaching and singing is al
ways done within circumscribed limits,
and the very locality is ignored where a
reformation in morals in more ways than
one, might lead to general benefit to the
public 1t will surely not be claimed
that intemperance is confined merely to
the excessive use of alcoholic beverages,
or that that this is the sum of all iniuui-
ty requiring the intervention of prayer.
1t will thus be seen upon what fimsy
preteXts the crusaders rest tleir cause.

SMuL-Pox-This dread disease has
made its appearance in Portland aud
Victoria. A case was developed on the
steamer Jln l.. Stephens, the patient be-
ing child, on her last trip to the for
mer place, and the steerage passengers
who had been exposed to the infection
were Immediately placed in quarantine,
upon the arrival of the vessel at that
place. Another case has since occurred
but it is thought that the precautions TAX
en- will check the spread of the disease.
At Victoria family, consisting of ia
Their, mother and three children, pas
sengers by the Prince Alfred, were
found to have contracted the disease on
the passage up. One of the patients
has died, and the others are in crit
ical condition. A complaint is made
that the person in charge of the pest
house is allowed to walk through the
streets of Victoria, and it is said that the
epidemic has broken out among the
Cowichan Indians. The authorities at
Victoria experience considerable diff
Guilty in obtaining proper medical aid.
The physicians demand $50 per day
for their services at the pest-house and
contract for a month in advance. 1t
is hoped that our Health Committee
will consider the propriety of adopting
measures to prevent the introduction of
the dread disease in our midst.

As to the Kansas Sufferers.

A number of persons are now,
and have been for some time past,
visiting the principal cities in this
State, soliciting aid for the sufferers
from the recent grasshopper scourge
in portions of Kansas claiming
that they have been authorized to do
so by the sufferers themselves. The
Emporia News. which is one of the
most influential and reliable papers
published in Kansas, thus alludes
to these agents:
There are several miserable galoots
travelling through the east, begging os-
tensibly for suffereas in Kansas, but
really for themselves.
We are safe in saying not one of them
has any authority from any organiza-
tion here for any such thing.
We trust our readers will be on their
guard against these impostors.
If few of them were arrested as va
grants, it would be wholesome lesson
to them. No doubt individuals will
write to their personal friends for aid,
and those friends will act as they please
in the matter. 1t is against these pub
lie beggars, who profess to be acting fol
the public, that we warn our readers.
Kansas disowns the entire brood. The
very act is prinra fdcie evidence of fraud
Our friends would confer favor if they
would make this public through theil
local papers.
