The Development OF the fact that
during the late war a tax Of 20por cent
Of their wages was levied On negro
wagorers in the Federal army, has sur
prised q great many people. Further
inquiry shows that Secretary Stanton

and the deduction Of thenegr0es wages
continued TIL after the war, and the es-
adjustment Of the Freedman's Bureau,
Where the moIay went IS a mystery,

COUNTY BUILDINGs.-Interes,ed parties,
who for years have been living off the public.
are urging the members of the legislature
soon to meet-to pass a bill imposing a special
tax for the purpose OF building new court
house. In urging the imposition of this new
and additional tax, We are satisfied the wishes
of the larger property holders are disre-
ga-ded; but this fact weighs nothing with
the parties who find their profit in plunder-
ing the public Should the members deem
it wise to pass bill authorizing the erection
of new county building, it should by all
means contain provisq sgbmiIting the qnes-
ton of a special tax TO a vote OF the people.
II majority of the voters favor a measure
of the kind, then it will be for the minority
to acquiesce 1t is now reduced almost to
certainty that the county will be divided,
and shorn of at least One-third OF its taxable
PROPERTY. IN the face of this fact II seems
to ms that the public leeches ought to let up
for year or two, but no such an idea peue-
trates their thick skulls On the contrary,
they are Just as keen to add to the public
burdens as though the general wealth was
about to be increased rather than diminished.
The action of the members ON this proposition
will be closely scrutinizei, and the men who
vote an additional tax will be he'd to rigid
respons ,bility.

NEW CHARTER AT the next term of the
Legislature it is quite certain rhat the ques-
ton of new charter for this city will be
up for consideration. Very many of our
people think it would be well to abolish the
city government altogether, aud fall back
upon a precinct organization. In support ot
this proposition they cite many other towns.
more populous and equally thrifty, that get
along without such ornamental appendages
as n mayor and chief of police. There Is
force in this argument, and we are very
well satisfied that without the burlesque OF
A city government the public peace and quiet
would be quite as well guarded as at present
Sbould. however, different policy prevail,
Then We have to suggest that the Legislature
frame the charter So a. to deny the council the

will meet all the Legitimate expenses OF the

SANITARY AFFAIRs.-Dr. Alexander, chief
of the medical bureau of this military DEPART
ment, was at Wslla Walla in the early part
of the week, with instructions TO inquire
into the sanitary condition of the post, and
report what changes he deemed necessary to
insure the health Of the officers and soldiers
occupying the post. This inquiry originates
III the fact that within the last year there
has been several cases Of typhoid fever among
the men attached to the command, and in
two instances with fatal results. 1t Is well
known that typhoid fever always originates
in unhealthy localities, and in the presence
OF proper sanitary measures it invariably
disappears. DR.. Alexander found that this
typhoid tendency originated in the manner
in which the post buildings are constructed.
The defect IS that The buildings are almost
Gu level with the ground, and without any
provision for ventilation. AT first no difficulty
was experienced from this source, but as the
buildings grow old, and the mud-sills decay.
the atmosphere is poisoned and hence typhoid
fever, chills and fever, and the whole long
catalogue Of diseases with which our people
have been afflicted of late years. Carving
out this theory, DR.. Alexander expresses the
opinion that unless the houses within the
city limits are provided with free ventilation
between the ground aud first floors, we are
liable, at any time, to De visited by plague
that will decimate the population. He says
that wooden houses, built almost on level
with the earth, and without provision for
ventilation, are sure TO breed disease and en-
danger the lives of the occupants. Oa nu-
merous occasions the writer has criticised the
practice of planting buildings squat on the
ground, and has denounced the practice as
contrary to good taste and injurious to health
In this opinion De Alexander fully concurs,
and thus sustained, we are not without hope
that the practice will be abandoned. With
proper ventilation. the timbers of even a
wooden house ought to last from fifteen to
twenty years but, constructed as the ma
jcrity of the houses are in this town the sills
and flooring rot out in two or three years
and require TO be replaced. By giving the
buildings a proper elevation aud a free eur
rent of air, this expense could be avoided,
and thus it is that both health and economy
plead in favor of change in the prev ailing
style of architecture

FAULT FISDISG.-Several gentlemen who
were active in securing the railroad subsidy
las, spring, express dissatisfaction at the fail
ure to complete the railroad within the time
stipulated At the time the money was raised
1t was represented 70 subscribers that a guar
antee would be given that the road wouid
be completed and the cars running into town
on or before the frst day Of S=q;g:ub=r. Upon
these representations many Of our property
hol1ers taxed themselves heavily, and all of
our citizens came out in proportion TO their
means The first of September has come and
go,ie, and instead of ;he railroad being COM
pleted, It's terminus is at FrenehtOwn, some
ten miles below town. II is now for the
members of the soTnu!ttee 10 " rise and ex-
plain" So far no satisfactory reason has
been assigned for the failure, and under the
circumstances the subscribers who paid their
money in good faith are entitled TO an expla-
nation.

TRAVEL BY STAGE.-Most persons dread
the journey by stage from this point to the
Overland Railroad, and yet those who have
made the trip seem to regard it in the light
of pleasure jaunt. This is mainly due the
fact that the n. W. Stage Company have
their line thoroughly organized, and with
good teams and easy going coaches, passengers
are surprised to find the trip really pleasant
In evidence of this We have the case of a
young lady who left Walla WalIa for the
Atlantic States several weeks since. She has
reached her destination in safety, and writes
TO the editor as follows: "Our stage journey
from Walla Walla to kelton far surpassed
my expectations. I expected that We would
encounter all sorts of dangers, bat it is net a
dangerous road by any means and found
the trip really pleasant. The only drawback
was the dust and The everlasting sage brush,
but these are Inconvenience that the Traveller
must expect to encounter

TRAINING HoRsEs.-The visit Of Mossrs.
Rockwell & Hurlburt, the great horse tanners.
TO this town, has been the occasion of sny
amonnt of ''horse talk" As we hear the
oio stagers discuss the merits of these gentle
men, the general verdict seems to be in their
favor. The performance Of their trick horse
" "Aszeppa, " presented nothing new and might
Just as well have been omitted from the pro-
gramme Their real merit is in breaking horses
ana here they are pronounced superior to any
persons in the same line that has ever
worked this county. In several instances
they took perfectly wild colts, aud in very
few minutes had them as gentle as lambs and
perfectly submissive. They spoke very highly
OF the horses raised in this valley, and pro-
nounced them superior to the general run of
horses in California and Oregon. During
their stay they had class of 136 pupils, at
five dollars ahead. This is better luck than
they had at Portland, and in fact any town
on the coast, save San Francisco, where they
had 5OO pupils. Members of the class ex-
press themselves well satisfied, and think
they got the worth of their money. Messrs.
Rockwell y Hurlburt have gone out TO Day
ton and Waitsburg, at each Of which places
they are likely TO cause a sensation.

make their annual fairs faithful refiexes Of
their productions and resources Already
