Mr.. Lincoln on Carpct-Bag Rule.

Does anybody who has studied the
character of Mr.. Lincoln doubt
where his political sympathies would
be were he living to-day? That he
was as honest in his political course
as in his private life is indicated by
his whole public course but more par
ticularly by the later incidents of his
eventful career. The assassin's bull
let wrought the greatest injury the
Southern people have experienced
since the war, for he was probably
the only man who could have sue
cessfully kept at bay the mercenary
and knavish crew who have since
controlled the Administration, and
made the reconstructed" States,
by their now apparent action, rivet
the letters which bind them.
There can be no doubt of his ear
nest sympathy with the deluded
Southern people, or of his desire to
secure for them their civil rights un-
impaired by the ordeal through
which they had just passed. Even
during the progress of the war, there
is not single expression of opinion
that can be traced to him which in
dicates anything but the broadcast
views of philanthropy, and the most
liberal principles of equity and JUS
tice. The following letter, written at
the beginning of the war, indicates
his unwavering policy. Admirers OF
the martyred President will do we'll
to head it's teachings:
EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WASHINGTON, November n, 1862.
Hon. Geo. +, Stepley Military Governor OF
| LOnS a,,d.
DEAR SIR: DIR. Kennedy, bearer of this
has some appreheas1on that fen ae h OH la,
up as candidates for Congress i'll that
State. In my view there could be no p s.
sible object in such an election. We dc
not particularly need members OF Con,
vress from those States to enable us to gel
along with legislation here. What we dc
want is the conclusive evidence that re-
spectacle citizens of Louisiana are willing
| to be members of Congress and to swear
| to support the Constitution, and that Other
| respectable citizens are willing to vote fol
| them and send them. To send a parcel oil
Northern men here as Representatives,
elected, as would be understood, (and per
haps really so,) at the point of tho bay
| onet, would be disgraceful and Outra
geo,is; and were a member of Congress
here, would vote against admitting any
such man to a seat.
Yours, very truly, n. LINCOLN.

The LUMBER TRADE.-The follow
ing figures relating to the extent OF
business done in 1876 by three OF
our principal milling companies, in
dicates the value of this great re-
source to the Territory. The Puget
Mill Co. bought during the year
$4,000, 900 feet of saw logs, and the
Port Gamble sawmill cut in the
same period 4O, 900, 900 feet of lum-
Der, 16,OOO,O laths, and loaded So
ships. At Port Blakely 100000
feet of lumber and 10, 0OO,OO laths
were cut, and 70 cargoes sent abroad.
The report from Port Ludlow is Of
20, 200, 900 feet cut. Schooners and
barkentines of an aggregate tonnage
of 1000 were built at the place from
lumber cut in the mill.

The RED RIVER RArr.-A peculiar
ity, says an exchange, he's been dis
covered in the immense raft which
obstructs the Red river for many
miles. Unlike most RATS, il moves
up the river, instead Of down, the
motion being at the rate Of about
two miles in q year. The explana-
ton of this retrograde movement il
that the logs at the lower end Of the
raft are continually broken away and
carried off by the foods and freshets.
while the other end il constantly
receiving additions. Thus the raft,
always falling away at one end and
growing at the other, gradually
moves up the river. and it Is calcula-
ted that it has moved since its form
ing, about four hundred miles. In
1888, when the raft was 124 miles
long, the work Of removing IL was
commenced by the Government; but.
after working at it for - years, the
attempt was abandoned a. imprac-
ticable, and was confined to opening
some of the lateral channels 10 m to
facilitate navigation.

ACCIDENTS ON THE PUYALLUP VALLEY
RA1LRoAD.-The Tribune says that q
chopper at Meeker's upper camp
recently had his heel almost cut off,
with nh axe. Another man cut his
foot SO badly tina. he will be laid up
for from four to six weeks. The
saddest and most fearful accident
occurred to Filing Olsing, a Swede;
in the employ of E. Meeker. An
old tree by the road fell and pinned
him to the ground. Seven men
tried to roll the tree off his body,
but could not do SO without the aid
of oxen. His right shoulder was
dislocated, and his left leg was twice
broken between the knee and body.
His back was also injured. He is
now at the New Tacoma Hotel, un-
der the care of DR.. Bostwick. He is
as comfortable as could be expected
under the circumstances.

E Capt. Hammond's fishery at
Port Townsend produces annually
10, 900 boxes of dried herring, and
$4,000 gallons of oil. Mr.. De
Shaw's fishery, at Port Madison can
make an equally favorable showing,
and the business has but just dem,
onstrated its entire practicability as
q lucrative pursuit, capable of un-
limited expansion. Why we can
not complete with the Columbia
river for a share of the trade in fish,
which has grown to such fabulous
proportions within the past few
years, is a matter of surprise to all
observing people.

('Ontpntnlent.

1t is probably requiring too much
to expect perfect cOntentment as
condition of human happiness.
While there are doubtless many
happy people, in the common accep-
tation of the term, to assume that
they are contented would be to re-
move one of the first causes of hap
piness, the pursuit of pleasure UNI
enjoyed, the hope Of blessing I'M
conferred. Taking this view of the
subject, we affirm that our people
are peculiarly fortunate. They pos
sess most oil of the blessings which
fall to the lot of humanity, are ex-
empt from many of its hardships,
and may grumble to their hearts
content because every cloud does
not possess II silver lining.
When we read of the intense
severity Of the weather in the East,
the temperature from eighteen to
twenty degrees below zero, the ice
gorge, the rise of water and the sub
sequent breaking of the icey letters
and the fearful obstruction of prop
ertv. and contrast it with our own
June-like weather. we have undoubt-
cd cause for congratulation. And
when we receive the concurrent tes-
timony Of all who have visited the
East. II the stagnation OF trade,
business reyerses, and the hardships
experienced by the laboring classes
in consequence of n withdrawal OF
capital from the leading industries
Of the country, we have cause to
thank Heaven that our lines have
fallen in more pleasant places.
Ye, il would he absolute folly to
ox,,ect coutcntmcnt The king rea-
lied this who profiered wealth and
position 10 the first contented man
who should apply for them. The few
who failed to discover the full
meaning Of tho condition OF the gift,
were reminded that if contented
with their lot they would want
neither riches nor exalted station.
And so it is with our people. They
enjoy good health, make a living
with moderate amount of exertion,
nre afflicted with neither Of the ex-
tremes Of heat or cold, are free from
epidemics or pestilences, and still
they ARE not content. If they have
nothing else to grumble about, they
fall back upon that scape-goat, hard
times, and il this fails there are
numberless imaginary ills, from
which the prospect of deliverance
constitutes q means Of enjoyment.
so il may be written that our people,
though happy are not contented;
though enjoying more than the
usual allowance OF earthly blessings;
are still signing for what they have
not; and this in itself is q blessing,
for il leads 10 effort, and it is the
concentration of will and muscle
which builds up prosperous COM
monwealth.

nS- At the "Forefathers' dinner"
in New York last week, George Will
liam Curtis, editor of Harper's Weekly.
in the course of his speech, made
the following remarks, which were
applauded Tremendously: lin
this country the Puritan principle has
advanced to this point, that it pro.
vides us q lawful remedy for every
emergency that may arise. I stand
here son Of New England-in every
fiber of my being am I child OF the
Pilgrim. At this hour We are not
Republicans: we are not Democrats
we are Americans. The voice OF
New England, I believe, going TO the
Capitol would be this: That neither
is the Republican Senate to insist
upon its exclusive partisan way, nor
is the Democratic House to insist
upon its exclusive partisan way. but
Senate and House, representing the
American people, and the American
people only, in the light Of the Con-
stitution and by the authority OF Che
law, are to provide way by which q
President, be he Republican or Dem
ocrat, shall pass unchallenged."

@ At various points in Califor-
MIA, Oregon and this Territory
dephtheria, is making fearful ravages
among the children. Olympia, how
ever, has been thus far happily ex-
empt from the affection, and its In
habitants are enjoying the best Of
health, if we except few mild cases
Of typhoid fever.
