A party by tho name of Chapman.
formerly resident of Steilacoom but
living in Portland, has been showing
the length of his ears by preferring
charges of venality and malfeasance in
office. against Hon. William McMicken,
Surveyor General of Washington Ter
ritory. The matter came up in the
United States Senate on the 18th, upon
o question of privilege by Senator Win
dom, of Minnesota. who read an arti-
Gle charging him with retaining Gen.
McMicken in office. He (Senator VIM
dom) denied the assertion and demand
ed an investigation by the Senate.
Upon showing made by Judge Jacobs,
the charge was decided to be frivolous
and the motion for an investigation, was
ost. The idea of Gen. McMicken being a
man who would act corruptly, is alb
surd. de is not of our political party
but he is gentleman by education and
a man of honor. We know nothing of
the man Chapman. but we are 10th to
accept anything he might say unless
corroborated by very substantial evi-
dence. He is not well spoken of by
older residents of the Territory than
ourself.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan 16..--The Pa
checo- -Wiggington mandamus case
was argued before the Supreme
Court to-day and taken under adj
visement.
Jan. 1.-THE Supreme Court has
rendered no decision in the Pacheco-
Wigginton case. The general opin-
ion of the bar is that an elaborate
decision is being prepared, which
will be a finality in the case.
Throughout to-day it has been
raining at intervals lightly, with sky
densely overcast, wind westerly. In
the afternoon it cleared up partially
but soon clouded up again: To
wards night the wind hauled to the
south and blew freshly; barometer
steadily falling all day.
SAN Francisco, Jan. II. 80 The
Sierra Nevada Mining Co. held
their annual meeting to-day. The
old trustees were REF elected. The
only income for the year has been
from assessment from which five of
100000 each have been collected.
This has been expended, and there
is an Indebtedness of $23, 400.

The money that has been given to
the heroes of the Skagit jam. has not
been given IL vain. Notwithstanding
the indifferer ce of the general govern
ment TO the condition of the river

ton Territory. we are yet led to believe
that the hopes of our business men will
be realized il the opening of this river
to Seattle's commerce. Eighty miles
of rich river bottom will. by the re,uov-
lng OF the jam, be opened up to immi-
grants and cultivation. This valley, as
one OF our vegetable gardens, will add

perssded by the dark blue dress coats
and cooked hats of of our naval heroes,
who, led by Admiral Porter. paid their
respects to the Chief Executive and Mrs.
Grant with that grace and courtesy of
manner for which they have always
been noted, both at home and abroad.
But the most amusing, if least SNOWY
reception was that of the public" and
id omni genus. Owing to the incle-
mency OF the weather, the crowd of
plebeians was smaller than usual, but
there were enough to keep the Presi-
dents hand and arm going like pump
handle without moments Interrupt
ton for upwards of an hour. Men and
women. young and old, rich and poor,
and white and colored. were jostIed to-
gether in their eagerness to wish the
President of the United States Hap
py New Year." in a truly Republican
manner; and General Grant, as well as
Mrs. Grant, had q polite bow and
hand-shake for them all. Invalids on
crutches, blind mea led by boys, de-
crepit old negroes, and boot blacks and
news-boys were among this crowd, for
the doors of the Executive Mansion
stood open to all well dressed persons; !;
and as regards the exact meaning of this
phrase. tae ushers seemed willing to
stre.ch a point. So that if man did
not appear in his shirt-sleeves, he might
be considered "well dressed" and this
broad latitude was taken advantage of
to the utmost. For upwards of an hour.
this stream of miscellaneous humanity
continued to flow through the Blue
Room, past the President, and into the
East Room, where it dissolved.
To morrow, the first annual estate
Dinner" will come off. to which only
the Cabinet and attaches of the foreign
legation had been invited. because the
State Dining-room will only seat thirty
six guests. At the next, which will
take place about month hence, the
members of the Supreme Conrt and
Court of Claims will be invited.

The cIoven foot is at last being fully
shown by Grant in the Louisiana per-
pleXity, in which he offers to sustain
Packard, If le could "hold out forty
eight hours longer" Does he not
see that such a course is certain to
bring about revolution. Thousands
stand ready to strike the second blow.
God save him whose mad fury provokes

NAPOLEON WAS RIGHT.

The situation Of European matters.
especially the attitude of Russia towards
the Sublime Porte. recalls wildly the
remarks of Napoleon to the English
surgeon. Barry O'Meara, at St. Helena.
The dethroned Emperor claimed that
England and France had no cause of
quarrel and that theirs was common
cause against the aggressions of the
Muscovites. He further added that the
day would come when England. SO for
from regarding France as her enemy,
would only be too happy in invoking
her aid against the aggressions Of the
Romanoff banner in the centre of Eur
ope.
The great Corsican's prophetic wis
dom was vindicated even twenty years
ago. by the Ciimean war. in which, but
for the assistance lent England by
France, Turkey would have been blot :
ted out of existence and the Bosphorus
converted into a mere tell gate with the
cross of st. Vladimir in place of the
crescent of Mohammed. The world has
less to deplore in that war than in the
American war, for there was no Ander-
sonville and no Belle Isle. to shock the
soul with the sickening recital of starv-
ed prisoners and brutal guards. But
in the glorious recital of that war we
must place the name of St. Arnaud
side by side with that of Cardigan, while
Alexis Soyer's clean food for soldiers is
worthy to rank with Florence Nlehtin-
gales devotion to wounded heroes.
The honors Of the Mamelon Vert be
lo1g as much to the red breeches of the
Zouaves as to the ponderous bear skin
caps of the dauntless Britons whose
loyal breasts were the bulwarks Of Eng
l,sh freedom.
And now comes again the war-cry
from lands where waves the crescent
and the voice of the muezzin at sunset
summons the faithful to prayers. Tu.-
key is a power only in name and the
first stroke of tie Russian sword will
exiinguish her nationality if England
does not interpose the sabre Of Well
ingron. She cannot do it alone. She
needs the help of France, and France
cannot stand the shock of a war SO soon
after her escape from the clutches Of
Prussia. Napoleon's prophecy is Sec
end time vindicated. The Russian is
to-day the dangerous man Of the uni
verse. He wants an outlet and will
have either Turkey or India. TO give
h,m the latter, would be 20 turn back
the clock of the world; to blot ont the
Christian glory Of Havelock and Heber;
to expunge the record of Mayo's noble
devotion to the cause of civilization and
p, ogress; and to bury the blessed legend
of Jessie Brown forever. A thousand
times better let Russia have Turkey
than to see the growing civilization of
India checked by a war. In the mean
time let England's statesmen remember

THE SITUATION.

.'These are the times that try mems
souls. Tho summer soldier and sun
shine patriot will sink beneath this cri-
sis. but he who stands it now, deserves
the thanks OF both m IN and woman"
These glorious words were spoken one
hundred years ago. when, after ravag-
ing the Jerseys, the British troops had
compelled Washington to winter his
worn. poverty stricken soldiers at VAL
ley Forge, and whom the darkest days
of liberty were coming. anon. To-day
an adaptation can be made from Thom-
as Paine,-that these are the times that
try mems minds. the sickly states
man and puny politician will sink be-
meath this crisis. but he v ho rises now
above his partisanship, deserves the
thanks of all mankind.
To-day the citizen must judge whether
the adventurous politician with his ig-
norant cohorts, has ruled the South TO
the benefit of the nation. To-day, the
citizen must judge whether the rancor
of a civil war has so sIbsided as to
warrant the belief. that he of South
ern coil, is worthy Of the trust reposed
in patriotism. To-day, the dark
cunulus of war stands banked in the
windward political horizon, and threat
ems to spread the appalling cumuli. of
o'er-reaching internecine war. And
war-what is its meaning ? 1t means
that the sanctity of home shall
be held OF nsught; that the idyls of the
freside shall have been sung in vain; !;
that communism shall hold high its
sllmy head; that mans energy and
woman's virtue snail not be taken as an
emula'ive example by our youth; that
ignorance shall hold high carnival in
the land; that grim want shall lead the
legions of poverty over the eminent dos
main of thrift and frugality. All these
are the corrolary OF such wal of which
We speak: And why
The South. as has been oftentimes
declared by her leading spokesmen, was
too Impoverished by the late war to
wish another similar scene. The North.
groaning under the status of CONNER
cial inertia, with its attendant evils,
will neither submit to the curtailment of
national rights which TIN eaten us now, or
to the decision Of any one faction. What
then is our recourse ? Bat the rene
dy prescribed in patriotic tones. by Sc
nator Booth. Let the august tribunal
of the Supreme Court OF the United
States settle the case by equity and law.
And if perchance, the people of the
country are not satisfied at leaving the
question to those trained to legal rea-
soning, let Booth of California and
Seeiye of Massachusetts on one side,
and Seymour of New York and Charles
Francis Adams of the Bay State on the
other, be added to the tribunal, that
the track of judicial decision shall not
run on too conservative course.
With their decision the country
would be satisfied, and internecine strife
averted, and the threatening clouds Of
war Of which we have spoken, would
soon pass away. National men stand
at the bar of popular judgment.

COMING TO THE POINT.

The plan proposed by Senator Booth,
of California. to make the Judges Of the
Supreme Court Of the United States
participants in the counting of the elec>
toral vote of the several States, struck
US IS being possessed Of much merit.
1t has more fairness in it than any
scheme yet put forward by the Repub-
lican side. and reflects great credit upon
the sagacity of the California Senator.
It is now beyond doubt that his sug-
gestion has been met in o friendly spirit
by both houses. and accepted as an evil
dence of honest intention. by men of
both the great political parties. Tie
proposition, as we now understand it,
is that there shall be tribunal of ar
bitration to bs composed of-6rst, five
Judges of the Supreme Court, to be se-
lected in the order of their length of
service on the bench. To this arbltra
ton is to be referred all questions of
law and equity arising out of the con-
tested returns for decisions, and as to
which is the proper return to be
counted. 1t must not be understood
from this, however, that the arbitra-
ton of these judges is to be final by any
means. The case is subject to revis-
ion by Congress. the two Houses being
allowed to debate the question upon its
merits before a vote shall be taken. If
neither House rejects the vote held to
be valid by the Court of Inquiry, then
the vote must stand as legal vote. A
joint convention of both Houses is to
be held. and if they decide to reverse it.
then the return in question is not to be
allowed. We have seen no plan yet
shat carries as much fairness upon its
face as the above. and when this prop-
osition is submitted to Congress. we
opine that it will receive the cordial
support Of the best men in each Of the
two great political parties.
The great ard staunch reform ele-
ment Of the nation, desires no victory
at the cost Of self-abas ement or dssrad
a. 'on in the eyes of posterity, 1t has
long toiled in obscur;ty and courts no
success but one that will be lasting. If
we win this election on a trick or
techuicalitv. then we may look for an
overwhelming defeat in 1880. There
a:e cases in which a victory proves only
a temporary advantage, ultimately re-
sultlng in defeat and dishopor. The
great and law-abidiDg element which
supported Samuel j. Tilden at the polls,
desired no victory at such cost. We
beileye that he WAS fairly elected and
If he can be seated in the Presidential
