FROM SAN Francisco TO POR

FROM SAN Francisco TO PORT
LAND.-The cheapest and best
route from San Francisco to
Portland is now by way of the
Sound. The fare from San
Francisco to Seattle is s123;
from Seattle to Portland $74, a
total Of s25. By the direct route
from San Francisco to Portland
the fare is s35; making a differ
ence in favor of the Sound route
of SIS. Such a large difference
cannot fail to attract to this
route a large share of the pas
sengers between San Francisco
and Portland, for besides the
money -saved, passengers will
have an opportunity to make a
short visit to the Sound and Vic
toria. The difference in the
freight rates is still more mark

Shooting ScRApE.-A couple
ofGermans, after drinking freely
all forenoon, got into dispute
yesterday in one of the down
town saloons. 1t was apparently
amicably settled and they went
of, together. In the course of
the afternoon they put in an ap-
pearance at John Pinells, where
the dispute was renewed. Alb
usive language was used on both
sides and several times they
tried to fight, but were separat-
ed. Finally one Of them drew a
small revolver and fired at the
other but without effect, the slug
striking him in a slanting man
ner and lodging in the lapel of
his coat. The pistol was imme-
diately wrested by the barkeep-
er from the assailant, tearing
his finger in the guard during
the struggle. No arrests made.

CORRESPONDENCE.

PoRr TOWNSEND Aug. 23rd 1875.
EDITOR DISPATCH: This last week has
been one of the livliest Port Townsend
has seen for long time, on accoant of
the Masonic excursion. On Thursday
last about eleven o'clock the fine steam-
er North Pacific appeared at our dock
crowded with Masons, their wives, FAM
lilies and friends. Capt. Clancey made
a stay here of nearly an hour giving the
numerous passengers an opportunity of
seeing our town, at the expiration of
which time the whistle blew and the
steamer started on her way towards
England" The trip across the straits
was very pleasant, there being no wind.
Excellent vocal music was furnished by
Mr.. O'Brien, Major Hayden and the
members of the Olympia band. We ar
rived in Victoria in about three hours.
You have undoubtedly seen full par
ticulars of the exercises there, in the
Victoria papers SO ] will not speak of
them. returned to this place on the
Favorite, the North Pacific arriving
about 6 o clock in the evening. Upon
her arrival Col. Nesmith was called for
and made brief speech. He eulogized
Grand Master Haller who parted with
the excursionlsts at this port. Major
Haller responded with few well closen
remarks after which the excursioists
proceeded on their way up Sound enid
the waving of handkerchiefs, the cheers
of the crowd and the inspiring strains
of the band.
GOOD APPOINTMENT.
Mr.. A. F. Learned, the junior parner
of the firm of o. s. Fowler & Co. has
been appointed Nlcaraguan Vice Consul
at this port. The appointment is good
one and Mr.. Learned's numerous

him.

several buildings under contract.
So has Mr.. Wabe, another con-

years.
Last Wednesday, the Fanny

vance guard of large colony,
already located on Snoqualmie.
There are mechanics and arti-
sans among them of every de-
description and they will be in
dependent and self sustaining
from the start. The people of
the Snohomish, without excep-
ton, rejoice at their arrival
They make the best of citizens.
There is room for many more
such colonies. We have tide
and marsh lands to be redeemed,
as well as cottonwood, vine ma
pie and alder bottom lands to be
cleared and sahjugated to the
plough.

a WEALTHY gentleman Of New
York has signifed his intention to es-
tablish and endow in his life time an
American College Of Music, to be dedi.
Gated to the daughters Of America. It
is proposed to erect in New York an
edifce Of great architectural beauty
and grand proportions, with all the ap-
planes necessary for the purpose Of
both q school Of music andtlererdering
of the works Of the great masters. for
public entertainments and instruction.
The entertainments are to include ora
torIo, symphony, chamber, and grand
concerts, and a new style Of moral
drama. The object of the Institution
proposed Is two-fold: First, to protect
and assist those who are fitted by ma
ture to acquire a mu-ical education,
whether rich or poor, by affording them
f.ciIities such as cannot be obtained in
any other part Of the world; second, to
give a high order Of public musical
entertainments that VIII amuse, in
struct and delight the people, and By
which the institution can be made not
only self-sustaining, but viii afford a
liberal income.

A CAREFUL canvass Of the House,
on the Republican side, shows that the
proposed tax on whisky is as obnoxious
to the Republican members from the
Western States as it is to the Demo
cratic members, without regard to sec
ton. The proposed increase of the tax
on tobacco also unites the Republican
vote Of Virginia, North Carolina and
Maryland against it. and it is consid-
cred doubtful whether the tariff and
tax bill can pass, if the tax on whisky
and tobacco Is retained by the Com
mittee on Ways and Means.

HIS Republican Colleagues Not En-
thuslastic for "StEOnE Southern
Measures"
Washington Correspondence Of the New York
Herald.
It begins to be suspected that the
Republican Senators are not anxious
to pass "strong measures" for the
South. They seem to be IN no haste,
and are ready to adjourn at the first
intimation Of desire by any one to 90
home. Meantime Mr.. Maynard, who
is called the most truly loyal man in
the House, and deserves the title,
holds a caucus almost every night and
presides over the few faithful who at
tend, with mingled sOlemnity and sad
ness affecting to behold. The more
earnest souls who make speeches at
these caucuses do so under increas-
ing difficulty and to less and less
appreciative hearers. The bloody
shirt begins to excite derision, and Mr..
J. III. T. Williams, who represents Har-
ward College for the remainder Of this
session, says he thinks Providence is
about to punish the country for It's too
great tenderness toward the South.
Mr.. Williams stands manfully by the
President and Mr. Maynard, aud there
is reason to believe that if Providence
should punish the rest Of us it will
spare at least these three. The caucus
for Friday night was publicly given out
in the administration organ Of that
morning, which spoke Of it as an i'm
portant event. Mr.. Burlington, of
Massachusetts,, who does not read the
organ, did not attend. But he did not
seem cast down about it, for he had
plenty Of good company. a num-
Der of frivolous members who,
some time ago used to stand
around and tell stories, while the faith
full depicted the terrible cruelties of the
White League and read over the "ban-
ditti" dispatch, have of late ceased to
attend at all. They seek amusement
elsewhere. The caucus, therefore, con-
sists Of only part of the Republican
party, and 1t Is not extravagant To say
that it Is the psrt which has the least
brains. It makes up for this, however,
by its More prOdigious earnestness, and
1t has found solace for the last two
weeks, at its frequent evening meetings,
IN discussing measures which. If they
had the least chance of becoming laws,
would be very grave matters indeed.
But they viii not. The session is too
nearly over, and the danger now lies
not IN doing but in not doing enough.

WHY THE FATHER OF GREEN
BACKS RESIGNED.

Mr.. j. S. Whittier, Of New Orleans,
publishes a letter written to him Nov.
q, 1854. by the late Salmon ?. Chase,
which now sees the Light for the first
time. We give an extract below, bear
ING on the motives that led the Father
OF Greenbacks TO leave Linccln's Cab
met. tits a pity his ri n Tor bringing
the currency to gold in six months
remains unexplained:
I resigned the Secretaryship Of the
Treasury because I did rot think I
could hold It longer, usafulIr to the
country, or honorably to myself did
not resign because L saw any difficulty
IN the financial position which iUdicious
administration and legislation could
not easily overcome. On the contrary,
would have been willing to give bond
and security to the amount Of all
have, that If supported according to
my Judgment Of what was ezpedieut
and fit, I would make eyery. greenback
and national bank note par with gold
II a year; or, if thought wiser, within
SIX months. But I had the misfortune
of mourning how 1 knew not, for I am
unconscious Of injuring either the hos
salty OF two leading members Of the
Cabinet, ana ! thought 1 could per-
ceiye indications thal their hostility in
fiuenced the mind Of 1Ir. Lincoln.
While things we're in this condition
the question Of successor to lIr. Cisco,
OF New York, came up, and the Presi-
dent declined TO nominate the per-
son recommended by me unless [ could
obtain the consent Of one Of the Secre-
taries, and those who thought as he did.
There were some peculiar circumstances
connected with this occurrence which
made me feel that I could not expect to
have the control IN the Department
which seemed TO me essential to sue
cessful or honorable administration:
and l could not help feeling that Mr.
Lincoln would not take the course he
did if he really desired me to remain at
the head of the Department. do not
know how others may +gel, but 1 could
not reconcile 1t to my sense Of duty to
the country, to tie President or to my
self, to remain IN an Office where / could
not be sure of being useful, or IN an
Office held.at the pleasure If the Presi-
dent, when I felt that my remaining in
1t was not entirely agreeable to him.
He had never Unlimited q wish for my
resignation; but this circumstance was
nothing, when I felt that he did not
really wish for my services. Hence I
resigned, and I have always thought
that I acted rightly. My support Of
sir. Lincoln was as earnest after as be-
fore RESIGNATION.
