An INFAMOUS OUTRAGE.--OnESusd
last Capt. L. NJ. Starr brought from Vic
toria, on the North Pacific, twenty-eight
men who had been brought to the
wharf in that city by detachment of po-
lice, who tailed them off as they went on
board the steamer. Sheriff Miller forbade
their 'anding, and after few words with
Mr.. Starr, who thought because he paid
license, and entered and cleared at the
Custom House no one had a right TO in
terpose An objection, he finally concluded
that discretion was the better part of valor
and kept his precious freight on board, ex-
cept three who managed to get ashore.
Sheriff Miller acted under authority Of
the act relating to the poor, passed Janu-
ary 81, 1853, as shown In Sec. 11--s'If any
person shall bring and leave any pauper in
any county in this Territory, wherever
such pauper is not lawfully settled. know
ing him to be a pauper, he shall forfeit
and pay the sum Of one hundred dollars
for every such offense," &c. Capt. Starr
knew that these men were destitute Of
means and hence paupefs, yet for the mis-
cradle stipend OF a few dollars paid him
by the authorities of Victoria, he is will
ling to brave the law and public opinion,
and introduce this most Objectionable ele-
ment among our citizens.
fhe history of this outrage is as follows:
Afew months since there was a strike at
the Wellington mine, near Nanaimo, B.
c., and the proprietors sent to San Fran
cisco for workmen. Some of these were nom
a most exceptionable class. They were
met at the mines by the strikers, who COM
promised with them and they refused to
work. They were then conveyed to Vic
toria, where the excesses OF portion Of
the gang caused the arrest ofa number by
the police, and the subsequent forcible
placing them on board the North Pacific
by order of the authorities Of Victoria,
who, under the paltry subterfuge that
they came from San Francisco ordered
them sent back to American soil. II they
had been American citizens they could
have applied to the American Consul at

ria, have all the Indian trade at Neah
Bay, falsely represented that il was
necessary to enlarge the Indian res
srvation and to drive of all white
men from the sacred boundaries.
Then the War Department, through
its engineers marking out as army
reserves every headland and availa.
BILE point from Cape Flattery TO
Olympia by simply drawing a red
line on the map around such ar my re-
serves as they may select, and no
one can thus obtain a title or even
occupy these sites without being sub
iect at any time to be driven off.
We know an instance of settler in
Clallam County who had perfected
donation claim, had proved and fled
all his papers, but by some neglect
on his part had not received his pa.
tent. He had fine orchard, a large
store for trading, and other buildings
on the premises. These were acci-
dentally destroyed by fire, and the
occupant removed to another farm
which he purchased, not dreaming
but his donation title was secure.
But the army engineers deemed his
claim desirable in military point of
view, the red line was drawn around
it, and he was coolly informed that
as his patent had not issued, all he
could recover of the Government
was the value of his improvements,
which having all been destroyed, as
we have stated, leaves him without
redress unless Congress shall inter-
fere in his behalf.
And then in addition to impecuni-
Gus Indian agents and the military
reservations we have ANOTHER and a
greater curse in the Northern Pacific
Railroad Co., that deadly Upas, whose
presence for so many years has serv-
ed to blight and retard the growth
of this Territory by its infamous land
grant which has kept back hundreds
of settlers from coming, here.
People wonder at the slow growth
Of Washington Territory, but when
it is known and understood that the
Government, through its Indian
agents, its military despotism and its
railroad grants, is the party wholly
to be blamed, we can easily account
for it, and only wonder that the Ter
ritory, with as many obstacles to con-
tend with as those told of the old
man of the mountain who clung to
the neck of Sinbad the Sailor should
not be now as much oc a wilderness
as is Alaska. While Gen. Grant re-
mained in power there was no hope
for change for the better, as it was
by his illegal orders that the outragss
on settlers were perpetrated, but
there seems to be prospect of bet
ter days. There is a silver lining to
the black cloud which, like funereal
pail has obscured our land these
many years, and one evidence is the
trial of Capt. Campbell which is re-
ferred to in our extract from the
Chronicle. We hope to see the
gnevous wrongs done to our citizens
by the Government, rectifed by the
present administration, and now that
Mr.. Delano has been succeeded by
Carl Schurz in the Department Of
the Interior, we confidently believe
that the next Congress will not only
revoke all the obnoxious acts by
which our citizens have suffered, but
that exemplary damages will be paid
to all who have been driven from
their homes both in this Territory
and Alaska. Ala.Ea.A4e1zLe~ez7
