he must be willing to do the work over

different" He must be willing to wait
six months for his pay, and then take
it out in secondhand clothes pins or
last years garden seeds. He must new
er be so bold as to suggest that little
cash might not come amiss, for people

II. l. Chapman.

This gentleman who has of late be-
come so famous, has his history written
up by the Olympia Courier as follows:
A quondam resident of this Terri
tory, named H. I. Chapman, seems de-
termined to make the unenviable repu-
tation he had gained here as widespread
as possible. A few days ago he had
published in the Washington Union
charges against Senator Window for
being influenced by payments of money
to secure the appointment OF Capt. VIM.
McMicken as Surveyor of
this Territory, and corruptly using his
influence to retain the latter in Office,
although guilty Of malfeasance. Sena-
tor Window, rising to a question of
privilege, referred to the publication,
and after short explanation moved the
appointment of a committee of investi-
cation to consist entirely of Democrats.
Many Senators, of both parties, ex-
pressed an entire disbelief in the charges
preferred, and asked that the motion
for appointing a committee be with
drawn, which, however, was not done,
and when the vote was taken thereon,
it was unanimously rejected. This
Chapman had such aswell known repu-
tation for lying, that charges made by
him against anyone would gain no be-
lief here. He was always in ''hot wa
ter" while here. Was once sent to Jail
on charge of barratry. He managed
to secure wife, with some property, a
year or so ago, in Iowa, and ever since
has been squandering her money in his
| efforts to secure Office. He seems to be
determined to be Surveyor General of
this Territory. and hestates at nothing
that he thinks may aid him in his OBJ
ject, and loses no chance of maligning
those who oppose him. He labored
hard to prevent Governor Ferry's COLI
frmation last year at the time of his re-
appointment, and at that time was
proved guilty of numberless lies before
the Committee appointed to investigate
the charges against the Governor. He
did this because the Governor chose to
be the friend of Capt. McMicken. At
that time, charges were made by Chap
man against Capt. McMicken, for which
he paid money to get published. 1t is
altogether probable that the recent pub
LEGATION in the Union was obtained in
the same way, as the managing editor,
Montgomery Blair, knew nothing of the
matter until after its appearance in his
paper. We understand that efforts are
still making, to secure Capt. McMick-
ems removal, but after this humiliating
failure on the part of Chapman, we do
not believe the conspiracy will have any
other effect than to cast odium upon its
managers.

The Compromise Bill.

Senator Edmunds' bill to comprom-
Use the Presidential difficulty passed
the House of Representatives last
Friday morning, at z o'clock. The
debate lasted all night, and when the
vote was taken, it stood 191 for, to
sc against. The bill provides that
the Senate and House of Representa-
tives shall meet in the Hall of the
House of Representatives, on the LIST
day of February, 1877, and the Pres
ident of the Senate shall be the pre-
siding officer. The bill then provides
in detail the manner of counting the
electoral vote, that the issues arising
thereon shall be submitted to a COM
mission, composed of 5 Justices of
the U. S. Supreme Court, 5 Repre-
sentatives and 5 Senators, and that
the Senate and House in joint ses-
sion shall subsequently announce the
decision. 1t is hoped by the support
ers of the bill that it will efectually
bridge over the chasm and reconcile
the country to a peaceful Inaugural
ton of a President. $50 mote it be-"

COLUMBIA CITY,

EDITOR INDEPENDENT:

EDITOR INDEPENDENT:
Knowing that you are a great friend
of education, moral and social adj
vancement, we thought it would be
proper to give you short statement
as regards our academy and the pres
ent success and future prospects of
our school. We have forty-fve schol-
ars in attendance, many of them
grown and from distance. Under
the supervision of Prof. S. l.. Lowell,
of the higher branches, and Miss
Stone, of the primary department, we
have every prospect of building up a
permanent school which will be of
great good to this lower country.
Prof. Lowell as school teacher has
had much experience, and seems to
be very successful in building up a
school at this place, he has rented his
farm in Nehalem valley for five years,
and probably will conduct the school
here for that length of time. The
school is nov self-sustaining, which is
very gratifying to those who first con-
ceived the idea of building up per-
manent high school at this place. We
have a large building that will accom-
modate twice or three times the num-
Der of students that we have now.
We have a we'll organized Sunday
School, and society seems to be grow
ing permanently better. Whiskey is
not sold by the drink in town, and
those worshiping at the shrine Of
Bachus are fast passing away, and
their places being filed with better
men and women. Society always
grows better around an institution of
learning, and we fully comprehend
the responsibility and situation, and
shall endeavor to do all that we as a
people are able to do in the discharge
of our duty. We acknowledge the
cooperation of preachers and teach
ers and many of the good people of
this section as we'll as those of Wash
ington Territory, in advancing the re-
ligious and educational advantages,
and none the less of your valuable
paper in giving this-as we'll as other
institutions and reforms-a fattering
notice. Consequently we appreciate
it all the more coming from our quon-
dam friend, and with the thorough
development of our coal and iron
mines at this place, with the compile
ton of the N. P. RsR. with a station
here and a good wagon road to Neha-
lem valley, we will successfully COM
pete with any town on the river save
Vancouver and Astoria. More anon.
