Snohomish Correspondence.

Nov 9th, 1875.
The river has fallen little, but the
weather still looks threatening: The
amount of rain fall at this season of the
year is unusual. We hope to get through
the winter though without becoming
web footed or unusually scaly. We ex-
pect moss to appear on our backs. for
in such humid atmosphere as we meet
with here, moss is leading staple, even
in the summer. That irrepressible kind
of moss too, that you can'ttea up by the
roots; that won't bear expectation; hat
won t stay where you want it; that is al
ways shooting up where and where you
least expert it; that is too hot to freeze
and too damp and cold to burn. you
can't even scorch it; that is the kindlthat
some of our people say is overrunning
and riding them to death. The best way
to kill it is to let it alone. Leave it to
itself and it will flourish only on its ma
tive soil. Continually keep stirring it
up, and getting up fancy hot beds for
it, and it will spread itself as natural
consequence, land if it becomes an annoy
ance. Why, who is to blame. You can't
reverse the laws OF nature.
The news of the loss of the steamship
Raci6c, has reached US here. At this
time of writing our information is very
meager. Anxiety is depicted in every
face. Men seem to dread seeing tie
passenger list, least the familiar name of
some friend or dearly loved one, should
be among that ill fated number.

WASHINGTON.

Prospect of the Recovery of the stcIen
Money Package.
WASHINGTON, Aug 9-No time has yet been
fixed for preliminary meeting of the persons
recently arrested for larceny of the SAY 900
package from the Treasury Department..
Ottoman has employed Richard L. Merr lex
as counsel, and an effort will be made to have
the bail reduced; but the authorities demand
bonds to the amount of 100000, and he will
probably be committed for trial, not being able
10 give bail in that sum.
The officers claim they will have large part
of the money before night. 1t has been ascer-
tanned that Ottoman recently made a heavy de-
post in the Germauia Savings Bank in Alex.
andria, Va, and officers have gone there to Sc
cure the money.
The employees in the cash room at the Treas
ury Department have been watched in all their
movements since the robbery was committed;
but to day, owing to the recent arrests, they
felt sensible relieved from the suspicious which
may have attached to them, and express them
selves accordingly.
Ottoman in the course of the morning ap-
peared with one of his counsel, Mr.. r. K. Ell
lott, before Judge Smell. He waived a prelim-
mary examination and in default of $1,000
bail was committed.
This afternoon Major Richards and chief de-
tective Clarvor handed Treasurer New the $14,
500 recovered in Alexandria where it had been
deposited by Ottoman. After being counted it
was returned to Major Richards as evidence
against the accused. Writs of attachment
against Ottoman's real and personal property
having been issued at the instance of the gov
eminent, the marshal this afternoon executed
them, seizing his three houses, herse and car
rage, diamonds, ETC., worth probably 500. 0J0
and closed his restauront. About $4,000 of
the stolen notes bave thus far been recovered.
NEW YORK, Aug "a Washington special
says the police have recovered over $50, 900 of
the the stolen treasury money.

The Northwest Expedition-The Crops.

OTTAWA, Aug. 9.-Dispatches from Winnie
peg says the recent troubles in the northwest
were caused by the capture of Mr.. El's Geo
tiers. The Cree Indians had also refused to al
low the party to proceed until they received as
surance that treaty would be made with
them next season. Ellis is commissioned to ex.
anime the coal fields of Saskatchewan. The
rains last week here will cause loss to farmers.
The heavy grain is lodged and in many places
it will rot. Thousands of fields of oats and
wheat are in such condition that they cannot
be cut with scythe or reaper. The crops in
the neighborhood of Montreal are also injured
to some extent. In Western Ontario the rains
every day last week were succeeded by sun
shine, and it is thought there will be little
injury done to the crops.

The Indian Frauds.

NEW YORK, Aug. ga Cheyen letter of
August LIST states that Major Long, of the
army, formerly inspector of -four for the Red
Cloud, Spotted Tail and Shoshone Indian
agencies, testified to the bad quality of the
samples of flour furnished by the Indian De-
partment, the still worse quality which the
contractors attempted to impose upon him,
their hostility to his inspection, the passage of
flour through Cheyenne without his inspection,
the sale of flour which had been shipped to
the agencies, at the grocery stores of Sidney
and Wyoming, the attempts of government
storekeeper Palmer, brother-in-law of Agent
Saville, to influence his inspection of bad flour
intended for the Shoshone Indians, and the
action of Barclay. while Indian Superintend-
emit at Omaha, in passing flour which Long had
rejected. The record of beef sold shows that
nearly every animal was rated at 1000 pounds,
while Major Long testifies that the cattle when
tat never average over $50 pounds.

NEW HAMPSHI RE.
Declaration of Faith of the Prohibition
Parfy

UCCHuHAtAVH VI EAtu VI INC
Party.
CONCORD, Aug. ga meeting of the State
Central Committee of the Prohibition party of
the state was held here this afternoon, and the
following declaration of principles was unani-
mously agreed upon: We believe in the legal
prohibition of the importation, manufacture
and sale of intoxicating liquor as beverage.
We believe that no political party that is radi-
cal!y divided upon this question can make or
enforce any law for the suppression of the i'm
portation, manufacture or sale of intoxicating
liquor. We believe that the Democratic and
Republican parties are so radically divided on
this question as to make it impossible for either
of them under their present organization to ac-
complsh the object aimed at by us. We be-
lieve that all votes thrown for these parties as
at present organized and acting are not only
thrown away, but that they give just so much
strength and encouragement to the liquor traf-
ic. We believe the only efficient way to pre-
serve the present prOhibitory law upon our
statute books aud to secure its enforcement is
to vote with the prohibition party. We will
not nominate or sustain any candidates for
Office who do not most heartily and fully en-.
dorse and sustain the above statement of prn-
ciples.
1t was voted to hold the State Convention 10
this city on the 10th of November next. The
meeting was fully attended and the delibera-
tons we're harmonious.
