With quick and pungent conviction
of the right way, persistent when re-
solved, and gifted with ready and
pointed utterance, he was no common
controversialist; and Notwithstanding
the frequent issues which kept this
quality from rust, we know of none who
can deny to him the kindliest and most
gentlemanly department, or who would
for moment attribute to him other
than the purest motives. His precept
and example were ever consistent. and
we can truly say the world is better for
his having lived in it. His many re-
latives, embracing among them some of
our Oldest and best citizens, have the
sympathy of the public in their sudden
but not untimely bereavement-for he
was full of years.

DEATH OF A PIONEER,

"Uncle John Denny" of Seattle died
at his home in that place, on the 2Sth
ult. We condense from the hteligencer
the following brief illusions to the prin-
cipai incidents of his eventful life. He
was born near Lexington, Kentucky,
May 4, 1888, and at the age of nineteen
enlisted under Col. Richard NJ. John
son, serving through the war of 1912
with enthusiastic valor, and personally
participating in those events which gave
our arms the victory, at the death of
Tecumseh and the surrender of the foe.
Removing subsequently to Illinois, he
served in both branches of the Legisla-
ture Of that State prior to 1S41, where
he enjoyed intimate and long continued
relations with the then rising intellects
OF Lincoln, Douglas, Baker, Yates,
Washburn and Trumbull. In the year
1851, he crossed the plains, settling for
the time in Marion county, Oregon,
simultaneously with the settlement of
bis sons on Puget Sound. Eight years
later. however, conceiving that the
destinies Of district situated like ours
offered increased opportunities for USE
fulness, he removed hither, and soon
came to be regarded as leading mind
in all matters looking to the more per-
fest Development of the public interests.

THE WHARF PETITION,

The following petition was submitted
to the Board of Trustees of the Town of

22d ult.:
OLYMPIA, July 26, 1875. !
To the Honorable Board Of Trustees IF
The Zo,cn Of Olympia: The petition Of
the undersigned taxpayers and electors
of said town respectfully represents
That Konrad Schneider has entered
into an obligation whereby he binds
himself to convey to said town, in fee
simple, q strip of land on the donation
claim OF William w. Plumb, one humid
red feet in width, extending from o line
five feet above high-water mark east
ward to the east boundary of said claim,
or to the meander line on the west shore

erecting wharf and warehouse out to
a depth of three fathoms of water, to-
gether with perpetual right of way

VI Duuu InleC, 10 the Salu hOnrau
Schneider's residence; provided that
said wharf is constructed by or before
the first day of May, A. d. 1876; that
it will require the sum of twelve humid

wharf and warehouse; that assurances
have been given by the firm of Goodall,
Nelson & Perkins that, upon the COM

steamships now making semi-monthly
trips between San Francisco and Taco
ma, will make Olympia, the head and
end of their Puget Sound route; that
securing such trips of said steamships,

benefit to the town Of Olympia and es-
pecially to its business men. Your pc

ILFIPIA, SATURDAY IolNING, AUG. I, 1876.
DEATH OF ANDREW JOHNSON.

The announcement of the death of
ANDREW JOHNSON, at Knoxville, Tennes-
see, ON the 31st ult, sent thrill of
sorrow throughoutthe nation. Recent
" elected q member Of the United States
Senate, and possessing reputation for
integrity against which the slightest
breath of detraction has never been di-
rected, the hopes OF the people were
conferred upon him for relief from the
vile abuses which have crept into the
administration of public affairs. The
loss of no other one man would have
been regarded as national calamity,
like this, nor would the announcement
of the death of any other statesman have
been received with greater sorrow by
the masses.
ANDREW JOHNSON was man of great
natural ability and strength of charac-
ter. He was self-made. In early life
he was deprived of the ordinary facili-
ties for acquiring an education, and not
till he had arrived ct manhood's estate
had he begun to master the rudiments
which belong to the instruction of in
fancy. By hard study, in which his
wife was the principal teacher, he OBJ
tanned an ordinary English education.
The subsequent incidents in his life are
thus briefly stated: He removed to
Greenville, Tennessee, and was elected
Mayor of the town when only twenty
two years of age. He was afterwards
elected to both branches of the State
Legislature, and was Representative in
Congress from 1S43 to 1858. In 1868
and in 1856 he was elected Governor of
Tennessee and a United States Senator
in 1857. In 1862 he was appointed by
President Lincoln, Military Governor
of Tennessee, and in 1864, at the Balti-
more Convention, he was nominated for
Vice President, 20 which Office he was
elected. After the assassination of
Abraham Lincoln, April 18th, 1865, he
became President, and served in that
high position until succeeded six years
ago by q. s. Grant. During his Ad-
ministration, articles of impeachment
were prepared against him, and he was
tried TOR misconduct under the tenure
of Office BILLY but acquitted by party
vote. Since retiring from the White
House, Mr.. johnson bad lived quiet
life, but was just emerging from his Sc
clusion when death cut him of. He
was 81 years of age, having been born
at Raleigh, North Carolina, December
30th, 1903.
The nation will in after years do JUS
tice to and revere the memory of the
one who sacrificed personal ambition for
love of country. Fanaticism could not
win him by fattery or brides. Casting
aside the profered honors, he resisted
molly the encroachments OF absolute
power, until the swelling waves of pop
ular excitement had spent their force
and receded to their customary bounds.
The service rendered has been unre-
Quilted. Justice is seldom accorded to
the living. Too often the grave is re-
pository from which spring up those
virtues from which the victor's chaplet
is woven. Now that the voice of envy
is hushed, let us hope that the noble
attributes of character possessed by An
DREW JOHNSON may remain fresh in the
memory of American youth and form
q constant incentive for O career of USE
fuiness and honor.

HAMMOND AT SEArTLE.-Mr. Ham
mond's outdoor meeting in Seattle,
last Saturday evening, was largely at
tended, but portion of the crowd were
boisterous in conduct. This was posi-
bly, occasioned by Mr.. Hammond's man
ner of attracting an audience, which was
by shouting " FIRE! fire! fire!' at the
top of his voice. An alarm of course
Immediately ensued, and stores and
offices were hastily closed while the
crowd rushed pell-mell, to the quarter
from which the noise proceeded. When
it was ascertained that they had been
made the victims of ruse, the auditors
were not in the best humor for listen
ing to sermon nor did they entertain
very Christion-like feelings towards the
cause of the alarm. A razor-strap man
on the opposite side of the street was
doing brisk trade, but when the dis
turbance ensued, he very earnestly
begged the people to believe that Mr..
Hammond was no "capper" for him!
On Sunday, the street services were
repeated and good order prevailed, an
indication that the disturbance at the
the first meeting was owing entirely to
the unfortunate manner in which Mr..
Hammond annouced his presence. His
subsequent meetings in the Pavilion
were harmonious, and the music excel
liant, discoursed by two organs, two bass
viols, three violins, one cornet and hun
dreds of voices. Over hundred per-
sons have signed the covenant.
WoMAN's EDUCATION. Woman
journal talks in this way: The theory
that women should be educated to be
clinging and dependent is SO contin-
ually refuted by the facts of daily life,
that it is amazing how any intelligent
man or woman can maintain it. When
the atlantic stranded upon the rocks OF
Nova Scotia, last year, not single
woman escaped. When the Schiller
was wrecked last month, fifty-two mail
bags and number of male passengers
were picked up, but only one woman.
When the Catholic church was burned
recently at Holyoke, we are told that
out of sixty-six victims, all but seven
were women, most of them young
women from fifteen to twenty-five years
of age. 1t is so in every such disaster.
The surface gloss of a superficial gal
lantry disappears in the hour of extrem-
