FRIDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1877.
FOR SITKA.

The u. S. Revenue Cutter VOL
colt left here yesterday for Sitka
to be present at the festivities to be
given during the last Of this month
by Sitka Jack, to some four thousand
Indians OF various tribes Of Alaska.
The report in the Oregon and up
Sound papers about serious trouble
ut present in Sitka. is without any
foundation, as the last accounts re.
port everything quiet.
The origin Of this report, was the
f,ct that after the troops were with
drawn from Sitka, some OF the young
men of Jacks tribe burned down a
small portion of the stockade fence
which separates the garrison from
the Indian town, and broke some
windows. This was promptly re-
ported and the Cutter Corwin was
sent up. Capt. White told Sitka
Jack that if he heard any more com
plants of depredations, he would re.
turn and blow down the Indian vii
lage. Jack said, the stockade was
burned by some of his young men
but he won't be responsible that no
more harm should be done if Capt.
White won'tkeep the white residents
from selling whiskey to his people.
There 10 no trouble at present, nor is
any apprehended, unless the white
people sell whiskey to the Indians at
the intended "potlatch," " and it is to
keep the peace that the Wolcott is
to be present. But, as a means Of
fighting Indians, the Cutter in her
present condition, is lamentable
farce. She has but ons gun and that
not in first.rate order, her other gun
WAS thrown overheard when she
struck the reef az Cape Nudge last
winter, and although tho Department
have been repeatedly informed of
the inefliciency of the vessel, they
have not fitted her out, but have
promptly ordered her to Sitka with
no means OF either offensive
or defensive warfare. Our patriotic
and energetic fellow townsman H.
L. Tibbals, Esq, has kindly loaned
Capt. Selden the battery Of guns
which were purchased at the Custom
House sale Of the effects of the old
cutter jeff. Davis. Fortunately, the
shot for this battery, now forms part
of the ballast of the Wolcott, and
Capt. Seldcn has collected all the
oyster and meat cans in town to be
filed with old scrap iron aud sand,
as canister shot.
II any real danger is apprehended,
on the arrival of the Cutter at Sitka,
she will return and man-of. war will
be sent, bat thereis no apprehension
of such an emergency, and the farce
of sending the Wolcott on a cruise
for hostile Indians without proper
preparation is not very creditable to
the parties in Washington who have
this matter in charge. After the fes
tivities arc over, the Woleott will
return TO this Port. She will be
absent four or Eve weeks.

BEo. G. B. Bagley twits us on the
apparently approaching necessity of
making affidavits to the writing Of
our editorials. He also INDUCES in
ill-natursd filings at US for taking
high moral grounds. Now we would
sympathize with Bro. B. if HE were
forced to this necessity, regarding
affidavits, because to- avoid perjury,
humiliating disclosures would be
necessary. AS to the other, well,
we haven't taken the public printing
from him yet, SO he needn't be SO
jealous about our success.

father intimately, and we never knew him
% speak hsrshly or even disparagingly Of
any one, not even of his enemies. Their
good traits he would mention, and pass
over their opposite ones in silence.
Demago is entirely foreign to his
nature; and this may be the chief reason
Why he has never received that political
preferment which his merits deserved.
IL the Wing party had remained in the
ascendency hst would have been one of
the first m en- in the land.
We are glaa'of Judge Kings appoint
ment for several reasons 1t is recog=
milton of the liberal, conservative native
element of the South by the general gov
ernment; and the recipient, though he
has made much money by his profession,
has never accumulated any. The Office,
therefore, will benefit him pecuniarily
more than is-would one of greater means.
AS to his competency to fill the position,
it may be said there is no position in the
United States that he is not competent to
fill. Lastly, Judge King is a temperate
man in. allithings, and entirely free from
the common street vices of the day. While
he is entirely free from all religious cant,
and liberal toward all religious sects, no
one observes the proprieties Of a decent
life more than he does. Drinking,
gambling. betting, or even frequenting
coffeehouses-things condemned by very
pious psople-are things that he does moi
indulge in. The President could not have
selected'a better subject for good Office
and we.are glad from the bottom of oul
heart that the judge got it.-0pdousds
