A Pacific Railroad Attorney Against
The Canals.

The whole Ohio Valley knows what
Williams A. Wheeler did in his attempt
10 increase the burdens on Western
commerce. The attorney of the Pacific
Railroad Rings naturally did what he
could to hamper free commerce on the
canals. The Cincinnati Commercial said
afterwards that his course with respect
to the Louisville and Portland Canal,
showed the country the gauge OF his
craftsmanship, but the people of the
Ohio Valley have not changed their
minds about him as the Commercial
has. The measure which Mr.. Wheeler
attempted to defeat was one introduced
in 1874, which provided that the United
States should assume control of the
Louisville and Portland Canal, in which
it owned all but five shares. The point
of the proposition was, that the holders
of these FIVE shares were the directors
in control of the canal SO long as the
Government failed to take possession,
and they levied heavy tolls upon the
commerce of the Ohio. These tolls,
the bill provided, should be reduced
upon the Governments taking pos
session, merely to what was absolutely
necessary to pay the current expenses.
In other words, the canal was to he
made practically free. Now mark the
dexterious proposition with which Mr..
Wheeler tried to defeat this laudable
scheme. He moved an amendment
provided that the bill should not take
effect until the Legislature of Kentucky
should cede jurisdiction of the canal to
the United States. This was an inno-
cent looking proposition enough, the
wickedness of which consisted in the
fact that the Legislature of Kentucky
would not meet for two years, and that
during the interval, the oppressive
charges under which the whole COM
MERGE of the West was grooming would
be undated. Republicans as we'll as
Democrats argued against this trick
without avail; Mr.. Wheeler succeeded
in getting the entire Republican strength
from the Eastern States to support his
amendment, and it was carried. The
Senate threw out his amendment. and
when the bill came back to the House.
though he fought for his disingenuous
proposition as hard as he had fought
before, it was overwhelmingly defeated
Mr.. Wheeler is statesman of the Pa
cifc Railroad kind, and should be put
where he would do the most good.

OLYMPIA. SATURDAY MORNING. OCT. 81, 1876.
Spirit of the Canvass.

While the present canvass has been
unusually quiet, SO far as public dem
onstrations are concerned, there has
been deep undercurrent, constantly
gaining volume and strength, in favor
of MIR. Judson, which has already
.ecome so irresistible as to carry all
before it. It is not confined to the or
binary channels, nor is it circumscribed
by party bounds, although the people
have begun to realize that they must
go outside the prevailing party for
efficiency. Experience has demonstrate
ed this, and when the services of such
men as Stevens, Lancaster and McFad-
den are placed in contrast with the
pigmy efforts of Flanders, a Garfelde,
or Jacobs, the people cannot fail to
realize their loss from the incapacity of
their representatives at the National
Capital.
The only real opposition that has
yet been manifested against Mr.. Jud-
son has originated from a few fanatical
zealots, who have literally I" stolen the
livery of Heaven" to serve their nefari-
GUS purposes. -Inst as the Southern
outrage business is employed to excite
and ill-will, in the National
contest, the religion of Mr. Judson is
made the means of infaming popular
sentiment in this Territory. They af-
feet TO believe that our free school sys-
tenn will be menaced by the election of
Mr.. Judson, when they have his past
record as an educator, the positive dec
laration Of his party and the united SEN
timent of the people, to indicate the
fallacy of such an assumption. This
crusade, is prompted by that malignant
spirit of intolerance which has stained
the pages of history with accounts of
the most horrible atrocities, and finds
place in hearts filed with malice in
stead of that browning virtue of the
Christian graces-love for mankind.
Such course is unworthy of the age
and will result ultimately only in the
humiliation of those who endeavor to
sway by appeals to prejudice and pas
son instead of reason.

AZ It will be q matter of surprise
to some that Puget Sound ranks only
seventh in the United States in number
and tonnage of American vessels en-
gagged in foreign trade, and "fourth
In number of men employed. The
number of vessels was ninety-one, ton
mage 41,4O3, employing 1858 men.
The only districts which exceeded this
were New York, San Francisco, Detroit,
New Orleans, Boston and Philadel-
phia. The number of districts is seven
ty-eight. The report for the State OF
Oregon during the period referred to,
shows fifteen American vessels in for
eign trade; tonnage, 1880, and 35S
men employed. And for San Francisco
lO5 vessels, tonnage one hundred
thousand and sixty-nine, and 3,46S
men.

Robescn's Income Tax.

How abouf Secretary Robeson's Gin
come tax? IN 1863, be returned an
income of s432; in 1864 of $3.50; and in
the year 1869, the year he was hp-
pointed Secretary of the Navy, he Fad
an income of $1,000. After a few
months of Service as Secretary, he lad
accounts with five banks, four of them
in Washington, aggregating s467 ,5t6.
His salary as a Cabinet officer was
$4,000. Either Secretary Robinson
cheated the Government out of his :n-
come tax, or he has been making 4s-
honest gains since he became Secretary
through his official position, or bosh.
He seems to have done both. He was
a comparatively poor man before he !se-
came Secretary OF the Navy, but lie
lived very well, was Judge Of tarrapsa,
and demolished his two bottles of Ma
deira at q sitting. It is nonsense 70
suppose that his income did not exceEd
the figure named; on the other ha1d
it is equally absurd to suppose that he
could have carried on bank accounts
amounting to half million dollars On
a small Cabinet salary. The secret If
his bank accounts lay in his connection
with the Cattel;s, who levied blackmeal
on all contractors with the Navy Depart
ment to the enormous tune of five par
cent. on the sums total of their co1s-
tracts; who paid Robeson's bills ami
retained throus h the whole period df
the scandalous supervision of Naval Of
fairs the undim; nished friendship ana
confidence of the Secretary. Whes.
people went to Mr. Robson and tola
him that the CattelIs were selling thea.
influence at enormous rates, the Secrt{.
tary would manifest great Indignation
When Mr.. W. G. N. Swift, for instance
came to the Secretary and told hira
that he had paid Mr.. Cattell SAT ,0Oo
for his influence with the department.,
the Secretary was very indignant. How
fierce his indignation was may be in:
ferred from these kilograms, sent b.
Cattell to Robson, shortly after these
disclosures: CIVIL Bette and mysel,
breakfast with you tomorrow at eight
o'clock" Wishing you and you're
a very happy New Year" These tele+
grams and dozens Of others like them
show nothing, except that Secretary
Robson continued the warmest intim-
acy with Cattell after he had been in
formed, and all the country knew, that
Cattell had been selling his good name
to the highest bidder. Mr.. Robson
is awaiting impeachment from the Dem
ocratic House, but the President has
no intention of suspending him, or re-
moving him from the position which he
disgraces. A man who cheats the Gov.
eminent out of his income tax and sells
his official decisions, is just the man to
grace the administration which the
Republican party has thousand times
Endorsed.

A Pleasing Reception.

Mr.. and Mrs. Burmister returned
from their visit to the Great Exposition
and their European tour last Monday,
having made the trip overland to San
Francisco, and by the steamship City of
Panama to the Sound. They both ap-
pear improved by travel, in health and
spirits. Their journey throughout has
been suspicious. No delay, accident,
or disaster has marred the pleasure of
the trip, and as they had command of
unlimited time and ample resources, it
has been one continual round of pleas
ure and profit. Nevertheless they are
glad to get back to their own Preside.
They are accompanied BY niece Of Mr..
Burmister, Miss Bertha Kroyell, who
proposes to make this place her future
home. The joyous reception rendered
Mr.. and Mrs. B., by their friends,
must have been exceedingly, gratifying
to them. They were met on the wharf
and escorted home by a delegation OF
friends, and in the evening large
throng assembled in front OF their resi-
dence to extend still more marked ev-
idence of their esteem. The circus
band rendered the beautiful and soul
stirring airs of Sweet Home" and
"Auld Lang Syne," whereupon Mr..
Bnrmister appeared, and in few we'll
chosen remarks, rendered his thanks for
the cordial reception he had received.
On Wednesday evening Columbia En-
CINE Co., of which organization he is an
honored member, gave Soiree in hon.
or of their safe return, at which large
number of our most respected citizens
were present.
