ADMINISTRATION TACTICS.

" 1t is undoubtedly the idea of the Admin
istration to consummate, if possible, some
arrangement by which enough southern
Democratic votes can be drawn off to put oil
Administration man in the Speakers chair,
and in case Of success the choice OF the Adj
ministration is General Garfield, and not
Mr.. Foster, as some have seemed to suppose.
Mr.. Foster certainly has INDUCED in aspire
tons for the speakcrship, and he has I'M
doubtedly been somewhat chagrined to find
that the President favored General Garfield
rather than him. But whether General Gar
field, Mr.. Foster, or any other Republican
be put forward to win the southern votes
for the speakership, there can alike be but
one result-falure. 1t can be set down as
absolutely certain that no Republican,
whether conservative as Mr.. Foster or radi.
cal as General Garfield, can get the speaker
ship. No southern Democrat will vote for
other than Democrat as Speaker IFuSh-
inQton SpeciGt-BdttimOre Sun.

The SpeaIkcrShip.

WASHINGTON. March, 21.-Much crude
and ill-digested speculation and prognosti-
cation has recently been INDUCED in as to
the speakership Of the next House, and
statements have been made as to combina-
lions which have no other foundation than
the imaginations OF those who have put
them into circulation. The connection of
Mr.. Fosters name with scheme by which
he is to receive the support OF enough
southern Democrats to be elected Speaker
is entirely unauthorized The southern
Democrats have made no ovcrturcs to any
one to enter any combination which would
involve separation by them from the reg
ular Democratic organization. No such
overtures have as yet been made to them,
although it is probable that they will be,
but whenever made, or by whomsoever
made, they will be instantly and percmpto-
rlly rejected. When the President sent for
General Garfield and asked him to With
draw his name rs a candidate for the Senate,
he then and there expressed to him the hope
and desire that some arrangement might be
effected by which he (Garfeld) could secure
the SDeakershiD.

The Skagft Country.

A gentleman just up from the
Skagit country, where he has been
cruising about for the past few
weeks, informs us that he ascended
the Skagit as far up as the coal
mines, a distance of Is miles above
the jam. The mine is being devel
oped by Mr.. J. J. Conner, who has
driven q tunnel about $50 feet. on a
six-foot ledge which cokes very free
ly and resembles the Cumberland
coal, being much superior to any
yet discovered in the Territory. The
mine is easy of access, and the coal
can be brought to either Ship Har-
Dor or Utsalady at a small cost. He
also ascended the Skagit to its con
fuence with Baker river, finding
settlements the entire distance. The
nature of the land on either side of
the Skagit to the mouth of Baker
river, he pronounces good for agri-
cultural purposes. the valley being
wide, and covered with vine maple
and alder, timber very easily cleared.
He also found the river clear of OBJ
structions to that point. He say:
the land on the south side of Baker
river which stream he ascended
about 20 miles--is remarkably good
but that on the north side it. is pre-
cipitous and worthless. The timber
on both rivers is abundant, and
when the jam is removed can be
easily brought to market. The Ba-
ker river is very rapid and unnavi-
&c BILE. but the Skagit is navigable
for small steamers o distance of 80
miles above Baker river. He found
Mr.. Scott and party, fifteen miles
above the jam prospecting for gold.
They had found very favorable pros
poets, and had sent Mr.. J. J. Conner
three ounces of gold dust, who i'm
mediately left to join them. Game
- elk and deer - was abundant.
Ducks and geese swarm on the flats
about the mouth of the Skagit, and
the farmers in that locality desire
the presence of the hunter very
much. The loss to crops this sea
son through carelessness and natural
causes was very light.

Several Democratic papers, and
notably the st. Louis Times, abuse
Senator Mcdonald, of Indiana, for
Offering to withhold his vote at the
special session of Congress. What
the Senator really said was, that il
his colleague, Senator Morton, went
to the District of Columbia, and,
while there, was, by reason of physi-
cal weakness, unable to go to tho
Capitol, he would pair with him.
The promise did not affect Senator
Mcdonald further than that.

Sunday School Convention.

A mass convention of the Sunday
Schools of the various churches in this
city assembled at Yesler's Hall lest
evening, the large room being densely
packed at an early hour by the happiest
lot of juveniles ever brought together
here on any similar occasion. and their
orderly behavior and proficiency in the
exercises introduced during the evening
fully justified the language of Rev.
Daniel Bagley, THAT all the people had
10 do to judge Of the beneficial work of
the Sunday School system. was to look
around at the bright-eyed. pure and
happy boys and girls there assembled. -
The programme consisted of singing by
the children and admits uf the schools,
and short. pitby addresses by the Revs
Bagley. Ellis, Dillon, Whitworth. Mac
fie, Wirth, Albright and Atkinson. Rev
DR.. Lane conducted the exercises, and
Prof. Ward the music.
1t would be difficult to conceive of
an institution which has wrought more
substantial good to this generation than
that of the Sunday School. Through
it's benefcent influence hundreds of
thousands OF the youth of our land are
annually tanght to pursue the "straight
and narrow way" and fitted to bless
and benefit society in their L,atnre-
years. The gathering last evening
clearly demonstrates that the Christian
gentlemen who have this work in hand
are fully equal to the task. and the
gratitude o. the community will follow
them in their noble mission.
