EscApADE.-The Seattle Dispatch
of Nov. 18th, says: All the prisoners
confined in the Kitsap county Jail at
Port Madison-six in number-es-
capped last Saturday night or Sunday
morning. None of them were con-
fined for any serious offense, and the
taxpayers rejoice. But the Jail is a
miserable affair and any stout fellow
only needs pair of pot-metal boots
to kick his way out in a few minutes.
the prisoners were one Chinaman,
name unknown; McLane, charged
with robbery on board the North
Pacific at Port Gamble; Finnegan
and his partner, the garroters from
Port Gamble; and the two sailor
prisoners charged with assault upon
the mate of the ship Eldorado.
Sheriff Williams offers $50 reward
for the arrest of each of the sailors
and $25 for each of the others. They
cut hole 11x14 in the floor and got
out that way. There were no fat
men in the party.

CONTEMPLATED CHANaE.--It is re-
ported that the Daily Olympian will,
after to-day's issue, be conducted by
Mr.. Marks Dobrin, young man Of
considerable ability and possessing
that other requisite Of newspaper sue
cess-untiring industry. He will be
assisted in the mechanical depart
ment by his brother Joseph, who
has been for many months past a
compositor in this Office. We know
them both to be exemplary young
men, and therefore wish them every
success in their undertaking.

MODERATION AND WIsDoM REQUIRED.
The Oregonian of Tuesday very pro-
perly took the ground that returning
boards, or State canvassers. are not
judicial bodies, and thlt if they have
any authority whatevefto look behind
the returns sent to them, it depends
upon tho express power delegated by
State law. In the absence of this,
their duties are purely ministerial.
The exercise of extraordinary power,
except in cases of the most gross and
patent fraud, would be extremely IN
wise, even il made under the color of
law, as it would be wanting in that
thoroughness of inquiry and inves-
tigation which sustains and gives
force to all judicial decisions, aid
must be in some degree necessarily
partisan. Neither party would be
satisfied with such a result, and the
intense feeling now existing may cul-
inmate in conflict and disaster if the
wisest counsels do not prevail.

"OREaoN's BONANZA" The latest
sensation in Oregon is the discovery
of boiling spring of silver, the
metal being held, we suppose, in So
luton. It exists near the head Of
Crooked river, in Wasco county, and
has been visited by many who testify
to it's astonishing richness. Mr..
Fisk the Portland assayer pronouncea
it q "great deposit Of chloride Of
silver and lime, equal if not superior
in richness and extent to the White
Pine district, or any of the great
mines yet discovered on this coast. "
The ore brought to him assayed
from $500 to So, 900 per ton.

ton is lined with immigrant teams.
There is scarcely day but that q
person passing over the road, can
count from ten to twenty wagons

Immigration this Fall has been larger
than of any previous year. As the
country becomes known it becomes
attractive. Many are coming and

himself on having made the cheapest
canvass on record and having been beaten
by q very moderate expenditure OF money.
II elected, it is q triumph Of good luck,
a aSg nns displayed IN the inner Workings
Of his canvass.
The above extract from the Seattle
Dispatch, of a recent date, is rather
severe on Mr.. Judson, who really
made very effective canvass, as far
as his Individual efforts were con-
cerned, and would have been elected
but for the combined and determined
action of the Federal office-holders,
who at the last moment, realized the
necessity, in the event of Hayes
election, of having friend at court,
to continue, if possible, their tenure
of Office. It was a desperate cause,
aud a forlorn hope only RENAME d,
by use of the most extraordinary ap-
pliances under control of a. Napoleon
in fnesse and strategy. That both
of these requisites were finally
supplied the result shows, in coun-
ties which up to the visit of Gov.
Ferry and Attorney Allen were un-
doubtedly for Mr.. Judson. How
this result was accomplished, we
leave it for those gentleman to ex-
plain; but certain it is that the peo-
pie were not seduced by brilliant
oratory or Influenced by the virtuous
example afforded in their political
life.
If We may believe the reports
which have reached us from various
quarters, the expenditures of the
official ring have been anything but
moderate compared with the usual
amounts raised by assessments upon
salaries, and the rule has been more
general in its application than in any
former canvass. In this county a
ten dollar levy was made on insig-
nifcant Offices the emoluments of
which would not amount to ten cents
in as many years, and on every other
candidate from five to twenty per
cent. Of the prospective income of
his Office. This fund, in the ag-
gregate, was enough to con-
troll those districts where the floating
population amounted to a decisive
majority on either side for which its
votes were cast.
In a contest of this kind, when
the issue depends more upon the
amount of money scattered among
the rabble than the merits of the
contest or the availability of the can
didate, the small vote received by
Mr.. Jacobs, compared with his for
mer majority, is, in itself, scathing
rebuke to him for his dereliction of
duty, and it speaks no less emphati-
cally in vindication of the righteous
ness of our cause and the vigor and
effectiveness of the canvass made by
our ndard-bearer, Mr.. Judson.

THs SKAGr JAM.-Mr. Wolverton,
a resident of the Skagit valley, IL
fo.ms the Ete'hgence| that the work
OF removing distractions to naviga-
ton on the river progresses favorably.
The first or lower jam was three
quarters of a mile across. A channel
was cut through this 100 feet wide,
and since then a large portion Of it
has been washed out by the current.
During the recent freshet a large
piece broke off and came rushing
down the river. It was carried down
into the north fork, and lodged near
It's junction with the main river, max
ing jam as solid and firm as the
original one. From the fact of its
having lodged there, together with
large amount of debris, and the rap
id rate at which the dit stuff is col
Letting there, MIR. Wolverton is of the
opinion that the north fork will soon
be filled up, and the current that has
heretofore set there will find an out
let Though the South fork. The up
per jam is being rapidly cleared
away, and as soon as it is removed a
large portion of timber land and the
best agricultural land on the river
will become available. Three log
gine camps have already been started
on This portion of the river, and as
soon as the jam is out OF the way
there will be a large amount of logs
ready for market there. The Skagit
is a beautiful, large, strong stream,
running through a broad, handsome
valley of The richest soil, at present
covered mostly with a thick growth
of alder and vine maple, and with
a dense fir forest in the background.
Much of the bottom land needs dyk-
ing, but as the river overfows its
banks but slightly these dykes are
not expensive.
A SHORT WHEAT CRoP.-The Agri-
cultural Department returns for Octo-
Der indicate reduction in the yield of
the wheat crop of nearly one sixth,
while the quality is somewhat superior.
Every section of the Union indicates q
reduced product, except the Middle
States. which is increased about 8 per
cent, the New England States fall off
4per cent, the South Atlantic States
S per cent. the Gulf States z per cent,
the Southern inland States 8 per cent.
States north of the Ohio river IA per
cent, States west of the Mississippi
river q per cent. the Pacific States
nearly 2per cent. These figures point
to a yield of 245. O00,0 bushels.
The rye crop of 1876 is reported 4 per
cent. less than in 1875, but its quail
ity averages somewhat above that crop.
The oat crop of 1876 shows a falling off
of q per cent. since last year. Every
section of the union is deficient. The
grain crop is nearly average.

Durren and the seizure of the Capt.
toll in 1872, and in the invasion of
the Capitol in 1874. Kellogg, Pack
ard, Wells and Anderson, as stated,
are condemned as infamous, and
nothing but mistrust and discredit
attaches to what they say or do, and
what they touch contaminates.
These men have been maintained in
q course of conduct contrary to the
Constitution and the laws, and dam
gerous to the liberties of the people.
The order to the army to concentrate

the establishment of q military des-
potism. If this policy succeed, no
presidential election hereafter will
be made, except under the direction

London Comments on the Election.
LONDON, Nov. 8.-The Daily Ners
this morning, discussing the Presi-
dental election in the United States
says: The result cannot surprise any
attentive observer of American poll
tics. It cannot cause o reversal of
the Legislation of the years imme-
diately succeeding the war. It is q
change rather of men than measures.
The Nescs says it is no injury to
American credit, and regards the pay
ment of the national debt in specie
as safe, whichever. party may be in
power. It bases its generally favor
able anticipations, in great measures,
ON the personal antecedents and mod
aration Of Tilden, who is likely to
exercise . restraining influence upoe
the extreme sections Of the party.

one vote u gOO0 as 3 score SO lar as
the result is affected thereby. Both
these Nasbys, when elected, prompt
~ resigned their Offices, and the De-
partment as promptly accepted them,
but it stands to reason that no sub
sequent action can remove the disa-
bility of person ineligible at the
time of election.
All these questions are undergoing
the closest scrutiny by the wisest
heads of the nation, and with them
we must leave the result, patiently
awaiting and hoping for a verdict
which will be approved as lawful and
right. The result is too momentous
for q doubtful decision, the interests
involved too great to allow aprecedent
to be established which may deprive
the nation Of its honor, and open the
door to fraud for all future time.
On this question, we should cease to
be partisans. The voice of the peo-
pie should be recognized as the di-
vine law which none may dispute
or ret ct defiance. Let Us hope that
