One of the Southern Democratic Sen

majority in favor of his nominations

little over year the Senate will be
Democratic. Of that there can be no
doubt. Arkansas. South Carolina, Ala
bama ard California will each add a
Democratic Senator. We may lose Con-
necticut, and there is probability that
the election IN Indiana will give Re-
publican in..place of VOORHEES,; but Ohio
will Offset that by the election of q
Democrat in the place of Matthews. At

many important offices will become va
cant throughout the North and West
during this and the ensuing session of
Congress, and persons confirmed will
be secure in their Office at least for the
remainder of this administration. Anti
Hayes Republican Senators must Ger.
tainly see that in very short time new
names will be before the Senate, and
it will depend on themselves whether
friends are selected to fill vacancies.
What can they hope to gain by making
. relentless war on the President, who
can plscidly ssy. have yonr own way
for the next year, for after that your
friendship will be of no service to my
administration. If you can get along

CHICAGO. Dec. 21.-The Times Lon
don special says call for the assem-.
bling Of Parliament has already effected
infinite mischief in its influence, not
only Oh English business and tranquil.
ity. but on the feelings of the Turks
and Russians. kilograms from st. Pc
tersburg say the effect of the call is
looked upon ~ equivalent to declara-
ton of war. The Russian sentiment
welcomes the English challenge, be-
cause it is thought Russia is more pow
erful now than England. and that war
will give an opportunity to obliterate
the disgrace of Crimes. A Bucharest
special says that among the Russian
officers there is great rejoicing over the
attitude of England. They believe the
action of England removes the last
moral obstacle from the seizure of Con.
stantinople. and the partition of the
Turkish power in Europe.
The programme of the war party is
to send British feet to Constantine
pie and 10000 men to assist in the de-
fence of Adrisnople. and the occupa-
ton of the fertilization of Gallipoti is
the first step to be taken in case of a
declaration of war.

centration for an attack on Erzeroum
On the north hes failed and the attack

STRAM MAIL SERVICE. We men,
toned last week that petitions were be.
ing extensively circulated in and about
Port Townsend for steam mail servics
between that place and Neeah bay. A
correspondent Of the Argus. writing on
that subject.says:
Another reason for steamers ON the
Neeah Bay route will be the settling
up Of that country which will require q
u carrying capacity for freight aud pas
sengcrs. The Neeah Bay and Gully
hute Indians produce over $4,000 ev.
cry year in furs, skins and oil which
will go to Port Townsend IL there are
no restrictions placed upon the Indians
by agents and others ~ heretofore.
They are very industrious aud will
search sea and land for anything that
will bring dollars or store goods"
The above Is exactly true and we be-
lieve it is as much to Seattlc's interest
to have such line established, ~ that
Of Port Townsend. No one port can
control the trade Of any one section Is
long as the present competition per-
vades every branch Of trade abost the
Sound. When the Dispatch was first
placed on the San Juan route it was
predicted that Port Townsend would
monopolixe,the trade of that route; but
subsequent events proved to the con-
trary. So we urge the establishment
Of steam route to Nseah Bay. believ-
ing that Seattle will catch her due pro-
portion Of the trade. The interests Of
all Puget Sound Ports are 90 clossly
allied that no one place can Be beLo6t-
ted hut some other will receive its just
share

Saturday, Dec. 90, 1877.
COUNTY COURTS NEEDED.

The ovcrcrowded condition of our
District Court calendar for the past
two years. suggests that remedy
should be prescribed in the Constitu-
ton of our Territory when it becomes q
State. New District Courts we're Gre
ated by the last Legislature, for the
counties of Columbia, Pacific and
Whatcom, while no provision WAS made
for the relief of the already overworked
Judges. The plan we suggest is proba-
bly, outside of the Organic Act Of the
Territory, but coald be easily Temedied
whenever a State organization
Is had. II Is this: Abolish
the Office Of Probate Judge
and create that of County Judge in its
stead. giving him the present powers Of
the Probate Judge. Also reduce the
number of County Commissioners in all
counties where the population is less
than ten thousand. to two and make the
County Judge presiding officer of that
municipal body and give b sp-
prevail OF all bonds Of public officers
Also give the county court Jurisdiction
of all criminal cases not punishable
with death or imprisonment more than
one year in the penitentiary, and of all
civil cases where the amount sued for is
less than three hundred dollars. Let
the Grand Jury be summoned by the
County Court, which can try all tho
criminal cases in its jurisdiction ct
once and save expense Of keeping that
class of prisoners in Jail for months at o
time. All cases Of felony OF . higher
grade could be sent to the District
Count. thus giving counsel ample time
either t. prosecute or defend their cli-
ent'. 1t would Ii ghten the labors of
the District Court and what additional
expense was created by the sumnoning
of additional jurors to the District
Court. would be more than Offset by
the decreased expense of keeping pris-
oners in Jail.
In many of the counties Of this Terri
tory but single term Of court is held
in each year. This involves the posi-
bility Of On offender being Gagged and
boarded at the public expense for elev.
Zen months, which would amount to
about two hundred and fifty dollars.
In those counties where two terms in q
year are held. there is the same chance
that two or more persons may b. kept
in Jail for five months ut time. Econo.
my must be had in this particular. -
there is almost as much money paid for
jails rs for schools. The rates Of fines
imposed are also virtual prohibitions
OF payment by the culprit and compsls
his imprisonment at needless ex-
pense. There is evidently much need
for reform in these particulars. and we
trust that it will not be lost sight Of
by the men who are to meet at Walla
Walla to frame State Government for
our people.

CAPITAL LOCATION.

We, to day publish the address of the Cap
i,,l Committee of Berkeley in favor of Mar
.iusburg as the permanent Capital of West
Virginia. We sincerely hope that every
vote of Jefferson will see this matter in its
proper light, and will need no persuasion to
induce him to turn out Oh the 9TH of August,
and 20 to the polls and deposit his vote for
our neighboring city Of Martinsburg. Not
only sound policy, but every sentiment of
good neighborship and social comfy demand
that we should respond to this appeal. Berke-
ley has just voted popular subscription of
nearly three hundred thousand dollars to
build railroad to Charlestown, the county
seat of jefferson. To turn our backs upon
her now would be not only the height of
folly, but the depth of ingrAtitude. Let
shose who have not thought about these
matters in this light, reconsider the matter,
and le, our neghbors understand that we are
not to be outdone in generosity and good
feeling.
