CONFERENCE.-The Press of
Louisiana is warmly discussing
the calling Of a convention to
frame a new Constitution for this
State There seems to be great un
anlmity in the demand for such
an assembly but there is consider
able difference OF opinion in re-
gard to the proper time for SUI h
a Convention to be called. The
majority of the Newspapers are
IN favor of ii speedy call and de.
Mand that the Legislature, at
us next session, shall order dele
gates to be elected to such a con
yention with as little delay as DOS
sible.
Others think it best to post
pone such action until the close
of the Term OF the present State
officers. There are but few, if any
OBJECTIONS to be urged against
the propriety and necessity OF Il
convention but the question as
to the proper time for one to be
held is different. The people in
this portion of Louisiana are sick
and tired Of political excitemen,
aud the necessity CT holding cleo
flohs for delegates to a conven-
ZION and a subsequent one for
State officers under the proyi-
SONS OF the Constitution will oc.
saslon great annoyance and con
fusion at the present time. With
the present State officers ecomo-
ny can be, and is, practised by
the present Government. Let #
be continued and let rs have
quiet aud tranquility for cou.,.e
N years and when tue tiae Tor y
change OF state officers arrives
Then a complete change can he
made under ii rev Constitution
without disturbing any of the eie
EEsnss or peace and concord.

The question however that

New ENTERPRISES. The "Colonist'
says that company having large lumber
ing interests in Ontario will soon embark
in the sawmill business in British Colum-
bia. The complete machinery for pow
rrful ting for towing logs, and very large
sawmill are reported to be either on the
way or at San Francisco. The mill will
be located either at Cadboro Bay or on
Saanich Inlet. 1t is also reported that
another sawmill will be established near
Victoria by Canadian company. We
look upon these circumstances as pointing
significantly to the rise and progress OF
the numbering interests ofthe great North
west. Ere another decade, our timbcred
shores will have become the scenes OF an
activity barely realized to day by the most
Sanguine.

IT is fact, thought by many worthy OF
remark, that ofall the weekly publications
in this Territory the ARGUS is the largest
and contains by odds the greatest amount
of reading matter. A gentleman of some
prominence, residing about the upper part
of the Sound, recently remarked that no
other paper on the Sound was any better
received by the people. During the past
three months it has nearly doubled its for
mer circulation. This has been interpre-
ted to mean that the people are getting
what they have paid tor-news.

Sabbath School Concert at San Juan
Island.

We learn that the annual concert
of the Presbyterian Sabbath School, San
Juan Island, on Sunday August 10Th, was
marked success. The large audience
manifested great interest and pleasure in
the rendering Of the programme, compris-
ing readings and recitations by the pupils,
all of which were well rendered-with sell
ected readings OF poetry and prose by
Miss Sadie Bowlby of Forest Grove Ore
gon, and Mrs. Maggie, wife OF Rev. u. j.
Weekes, the resident minister. The sing
ing by the school was excellent, all appar-
emily entering into the TRUE SPIRIT of
each piece. The duett, Too Late, by Mrs.
Weeks and Miss Bowlby-with the organ
accompaniment-was in every sense of
the word, SPLENDID, Miss Bowlby, hay
ing the deserved reputation of being a
most accomplished musician. Instrument
tai pieces were interspersed throughout
the programme, all being rendered artisti-
cally The quartetts were exceedingly well
executed, Mr.. Jas. Carr of Lopez Island
recently from Iowa-contributing much
by his fine tenor voice. Interesting speech
es were made at the close of exercises. A
collection of $3.50 was taken up tor the
school. The doxology sung, benedic-
ton pronounced, and the large audience
wended their way homevard, well
pleased.
TO the Church, and Sabbath School, on
this picturesque Island, its PASTOR with
his worthy consort, we tender our hearty
congratulations, wishing them every sue
cess in their united efforts, to advance the
J all important work of Gods great cause
in THESE ISLANDS OF THE SEA.

PUGET SOUND ARGUS.
LOCAL NEWS.

SPIRITUALIsM--A noted spiritualist-
Mr.. w. F. Peck-has been creating a SEN
sation in town during the past week. This
gentleman has held seances here, at which
phenomena were presented, whether il
lusions or not, completely turning stten-
dants wild with excitement. All day on
Sunday last, crowds Of men might have
been seen on our street corners, discussing
pro and con-principally pro-the merits
and claims of the subject Of this item. On
Sunday evening lecture was delivered by
Mr.. Peck, upon which we can pass no
comment, not having attended on account
of other and more important business.
Without entering upon any discussion,
or investigation Of this subject it might
be well enough to offer thought or two
before dismissing it. First then, what is
the OBJECT Of these meetings? Is it to
work out any great or glorious public
good, making efforts, however laborious,
commendable? Is it not rather to crafty
an idle, vain curiosity on the one hand,
and to obtain notoriety, or pecuniary
gain, OH the other? Even though it be to
satisfy on the part Of the public, spirit
of honest inquiry and yearning after the
hidden and infinite, will it not work out a
destruction OF public and private peace
rather than any substantial and lasting
benefits? Whenever anyone will demon
strate satisfactorily that people are to be
made purer, nObler men and women on
account Of dabbling in these affairs; when
it can be shown that good results Of any
kind are to be produced, then, and not till
then will we engage heart and hand in
the work. 1t is true that professional il
lusionists have engaged in New York and
elsewhere to perform all the feats and pro-
duce all the phenomena shown by any me-
diums. 1t is true also that they have sue
ceeded in demonstrating that all this CAN
be done by sleight of hand; but still we
care not a fig for that. The only question
Of Importance is, how are you going to
BENEFIT people by spirit meetings? Un-
Gil this question is settled everyone can
certainly find more profitable employment
than that offered.

NEW PAPER.-A new venture in jour-
naIism made its appearance here last
week, under the name of the "Democrat-
ic Press" 1t is four-page weekly and
the name of III. l.. Blanchard, Esq, ap-
pears at its head as editor. It's local
department, under the management of
Mr.. A. F. Learned, presents neat and
creditable appearance. As far as its efforts
to build up the lower Sound are concerned,
# its aim is really good, we cordially wish
it success. or the personal reflections
contained in its first number we will say
nothing in the way of comment, fully be-.
lieving that the public is competent to de-
eide correctly-and more than all being
perfectly willing to let the enterprise
stand or fall on its intrinsic merits. As
its name would indicate, it will be polit-
ical paper. While we would not sacrifice
PRINCIPLES to curry favor with either Re-
pubicans or Democrats, we certainly have
no fight to make with Democrats simply
because they are such. Let future events
convince the public as to whose avowed
principles are most closely followed.
