1t is surprising to see how many
tramps are infesting this and other
cities, who are strong, healthy looking
men, and able to do mems work, while
the farmers are destitute of hired help,
and willing to pay good, honest la
borer from twenty to twenty-five dol
lars per month during the busy sea-
son. Refuse aid to all such able-bod-
led tramps, and then they may be
forced to commence work.

A PRISONER CONVICTED OF
RAPE.
Upon Being Found Guilty He
Swallows a Bottle of Poison.

The case of CASTOR Larche, who was
charged with rape, was concluded last even
ing. The jury went out, and after some de.
liberation returned to the courtroom.
Larche sat as pale and cold as marble, the
veins of his neck and face were swollen al
most to bursting. The foreman of the jury
arose and handed the verdict to the clerk.
For moment death-like stiffness prevailed in
the courtroom, and then in clear and dis
tinct voice, the clerk read out the word
"Guay." At this moment the prisoner started
up, and suddenly drawing vial from his
pockets, swallowed its contents, which were
found to be poison. He was seized by the
Deputy Sheriff and removed to the prisoners
dock, where he received medical attendance.
After administering an emetic to the man, the
physician had him hung up by the heels, and
then pumped him out. Being out Of danger,
he was again taken to the Parish Prison.

The steamer is now undergoing repairs in
this port, and the propeller will be examined
tonight, at II o'clock, at low tide, and the ex-

determine the duration Of her stoppage here.
Several of the passengers will leave to-mor-
row, including Mr.. Kearnes and wife, going
up the Columbia as far as Kalama, thence by
railroad to Tacoma and points on the Sound.
LATER-The examination shows that the

TIMBALIER LIGHTHOUSE
SAFE.
1t is Still a Beacon to the Mariner.

The somewhat circumstantial reports cir
culated some days ago regarding the destruc-
ton of Timbalier Lighthouse, are very
effectually set at rest by the following dis
patch from the deputy collector at Brashear.
We regarded the rumor of the destruction Of
this finely built lighthouse as a rough draft
on credulity but, after the acceptance of the
Wheeler compromise we were prepared to
wonder at nothing
If another man shall come along tomorrow
and declare that he saw Timbaler Light
house floating off toward Cuba and only
drawing one foot six inches, while the light
flashed as brilliantly as ever, we should not be
either prepared or inclined to contradict
him:
Custom HOUSE, BRAsHEAR La,
Collectors Office, March 80 1875.
To CommanderC NJ Schoonmaker, Inspector Light
house Department. New Orleans La:
SH'-Capt. John Lewis, master OF the steam
ship City OF Norfolk, this morning reports as
follows:
TUESDAY. March %. in voyage from New
Orleans to Galveston, 6 o'clock p NJ, sighted
Timbaier Lighthouse; 7 z. NJ. light burning
brightly"
This settles all reports of Timbalier's light
having been swept away.
Respectfully, yours,

THE DEBATE At ALBANY.

Those who believed that there would be
practically no battle over the movement for a
reform in the management of the State canals
are by this time convinced of their mistake.
The battle is raging all along the line, and
the Ring finds defenders where it was not
supposed that it possessed single friend.
The Speaker Of the Assembly comes down
from his chair and makes a furious assault
upon the Governor. The Hobbies are full of
threats and curses. Mr.. Tiden is warned
that the Ring will hit back. There are men
aces that the regulations of some of the Gov
ernOr's "pets" will be ripped to pieces ;
and Mr.. Mcclure proposes to have not
only an investigation into the alleged
frauds, but a searching examination of the
Governors motives" In short there is every
indication just now of such campaign of
blackguardism and mud-throwing as Albany
has not seen for many year. This disgust
ing spectacle, however, will probably have
some good results. 1t will disclose secret allies
of the Canal thieves, and secret enemies of an
honest administration and if it does show a
few reformers to be hypOcrites, that is an
exposure which the public will view with
equanimity provided we only get reform.
The importance which Mr.. Mcclure and
others like him attribute to the question of
Mr. Tilden's motives in making this demon
stration curiously illustrates their inability to
comprehend the higher sort of politics. The
average politician is nothing but q place

hunter, and he interprets all human actions
by their bearing upon the great problem OF
the Offices. They cannot understand such
thing as reform for the mere sake of reform,
or hostility to theft merely because 1t is theft.
In their experience reform is never an end to
be sought, though it is sometimes cOnve-
nient means for obtaining an Office and
salary, and when q refOrmer appears the
question they ask is not What is he trying
to do7 but What is he trying TO
get And since this is tho view they
themselves always take of political move
ments. they assume that the general public
looks at things in the same way. There they
are wrong. The average citizen surveys the
world from o much higher plane than the
average politician, and concerns himself more
with the practical tendency Of an action than
with the hidden impulses, hopes, fears, ambi-
tions of the actor. 1t is the raDkest folly,
therefore, to lumber up this debate with sneers
at the Governors sincerity, insinuations of his
selfishness, invectives against his "Presi-
dental aspirations" What have these
things to do with measurements and
accounts7 Is he really seeking his own adj
vancement2 Is he counting popularityq Is
he a candidate for the Democratic nomination
next year7 We protest we do not know, and
we do not care, These gentlemen al Albany
may rest assured that the people take no
interest in such questions, and would insist
upon Canal Reform quite as heartily even If
they knew Gov. Tilden to be at heart no
better than his adversaries.
