Per Down Mons. Says the Chicago
Times Doubtless the terrible railway
insurection;which has already destroyed
II hundred millions Of property and in
tlicted even greater injury upon the COM
mcrcc Of the country, is in some degree
II perfectly natural consequence Of the
great mismnnngGmGnt Of railway inter .
ests by those rival moguls Of railway
gambling, But, granting all that, it is
no tine to talk about another side to
the question in the presence of an inlura.
ted mob OF insurgents. The man who
said there were two sides to the conflict
between the National authorities and the
Southern rebels said what was true: but
in the presence of an armed insurrcction
against the law and order of society
was not the time to assert the truth
When the mob rises and takes the law
into its own hands, there is but one thing
for society, by its constituted organs, to
think of and to do. 1t is to put down
the mob, 1t is. to put it down promptly,
effectively, by the employment of any
force that may be requisite to the end
The killing of some of the insurgents is
not matter which concerns society ut
all. II they stand inithc way OF societies

the better.

Parties interested contemplate open

I Pin Chuck valley to the Stillaguamish.
This is move in the right direction
Such trail. once opened, will soon be
made wagon road, and will enable peo-
pie living on the Stilhguamish to come
to town and return again the same day
rs the distance must be less than twenty.
five miles.
The settlers on the Stillaguamish and
Pill Chuck are ull interested. and willing
to take hold and open the trail at once,
Such Il trail will induce settlement and
open up that fine region about Stevens

tance great.
Mr., Gregory, our School Supcnntcn.
dent, has just rGturucd from Centreville,
and finds the people there anxious and
willing to do more than their share of
the laber of opening the trail. 1t would
be great convenience to both sections,
and an advantage to the whole county,
aud the county ought to do something
toward forwarding the enterprise. 1t is
IA great hardship on the people living at
the northern end of the county to be
compelled to 90 to Seattle or Mukilteo,
and then have only chance Of connect
ing with u steamer, without delay, when
they wish to come here on business. If
they do not come by steamer they have
to row all the way, by round about
route at that, or come on foot. 1t is no
pleasure, trip anyhow; tesides, it is eX.
pensvc and consumes much time. BY
opening the proposed trail both time and
money will he saved in making the jour.
ney; and the advantage to the county in
the way Of settlement will be so great,
that if the county bore the whole ex.
