The SOUTHERN OuTRAaEs. The recent
Louisiana outrages have created the
most profound indignation throughout
the Union. The action of the military
authorities, directed by the Administra-
tan, in organizing partisan legislature,
in opposition to the will of the people
asexpressed through their legally elect
ed representatives, is universally con-
demned. In New York an immense in.
dignation meeting was held, which was
addressed by VIM. NJ. Eyarts, VIM.
Cullen Bryant and other prominent cit.
liens. The press with remarkable una
nimity, agree that the proceedings are
Infamous and unparalleled in the his
tory of free government.

Xy-;Il;soo lJrosc,J >o Dr Wood Of 60

Although the published letter Of Doctor
Wilson, addressed to DIR. Weed, OF Sc
attic, was not submitted to your commit
tee with other papers and affidavts, We
deem it but an act of justice to MIR. liar-
mon that some notice of it be made at
this point. Said letter having been pub
lished became public property. The idea
conveyed by the letter is, that the "poor
old man" who died in the Asylum, had
died from the effects of i'll usage and bad
treatment received there; when the facts,
as proved by evidence before the commits.
sion, are that he was in dying condition
when he was received at the Asylum and
only lived few days after he was received.
Your committee also demanded from said
Wilson the facts he claims in said letter
to have in bis possession, which in said
letter he threatens to publish, and he con-
fessed or admitted to your committee that
he had no other facts in his possession.
Your committee would further repre-
sent that they visited and thoroughly ex-
amined the inmates Of the Asylum, the
wards, sleeping rooms, Jail, kitchens, store,
bath and wash rooms, and every other
department., and found all in An orderly
and clearly condition: The food ample
and excellent in quality, and some of your
committee took meals with the patients,
and found the food of excellent quality,
and believe that large majority of the
citizens of the Territory arc not as we'll
fed, clothed and cared for.

INTERRUPTION TO NAVIGATION. - The
floating ice in the Sound has proven no
small obstruction to navigation. The
Zephyr, last Thursday, was ten hours in
coming from Seattle to this place, and
the last nine milos she was compelled to
come stern formost and use her wheel
to break tho ice. Yesterday she steamed
up but did not leave the dock, as it was
deemed imprudent to make the attempt
to break through her icy letters.

PALACE HOTEL. grand building

PALACE HoTEL.-This grand building,
in San Francisco, the most spacious in
the world, is rapidly approaching COM
pletion and will be ready for guests
next September. Eleven hundred men
are still at work upon it, and large
force has just been discharged, their
services being no longer required.
Some idea of the size of the building
can be obtained from the fact that over
one hundred miles of telegraph wire
will be used in connecting the different
rooms with the main office. The archi-
tects who designed and planned the
Palace Hotel, previously visited the
principal cities of the United States and
Europe for the purpose of adopting all
existing improvements in the construc-
ton of the immense edifce. The Pal
ace Hotel covers $50 by 275 feet-an
area of SO, $50 square feet, and is nine
stories in height.

The WEATHER. - During the past
week, the mercury has stood as follows
at eight o'clock in the morning: Sat
urday 190, Sunday 260, (snow fell to
the depth of one and one half inches),
Monday 2S0, Tuesday 150, Wednesday
80, Thursday 150 and yesterday 6 deg.
Tuesday was the only day on which the
temperature arose above the freezing
point, and the reading at six o'clock
in the evening has not varied much
from the figures noted in the morning.
Strong breezes have prevailed at nights
from the north and northwest, making
it exceedingly unpleasant for those who
were obliged to leave the genial fireside
and brave the frosty breath of Winter.

81 Stopping the legislation of Con-

81 The Dispatch, in abiding to the
appearance Of the Farmer, as the fifth
newspaper published in Olympia, says:
"Of the other four we could hardly tell
one from the other, there is such strong
family likeness between them. They snarl
and growl at each other, as all hungry dogs
them the whole pack just go for him."
Our venerable contemporary has hit
the fgurative nail on the head fairly
and squarely this time. The irrepress-
IDLE four have formed Mutual Admira-
ton Society, and if the Dispatch don't
like it-why, it may just form one of it's
own. The Statesman will doubtless re-
spond to any overtures of the Dispatch.
