Allowing eighty pounds of tsllow for
each head Of beef cattle, aud fifteen
for each sheep, We have q weekly
total Of 1915 pounds of crude tallow,
or $1,000 pounds per month, to be
worked up. This would find ready
sale for the use Of smboats, mills,
and foundries. besides affording some
for export on the lumber vessels plying
to South America. where it would end
ready sale in all those ports. 1t would
also lay the foundation for candle
factory at this place, which would
prove remunerstive whenever q suffi-
Gent amount Of capital was put into
the business to furnish retailers with
a steady supply Of homo made candles.
It would also double the soap business,
which is already carried ON here to a
considerable extent. We are now
shipping tsllow to San Francisco and
paying freight back on our candles.
This shows how money might be kept
in the country if proper effort were
made.

A correspondent, reviewing
the diseases consequent ON the
famine in India, says. . The
registered deaths of the present
year up to the end of June were
$40, 900 above the average. Ac-
cording to the opinion OF the
district officers, this does not
represent more than two-thirds
OF the actual mortality, and we
have. further to add the deaths
which have occurred since and
have not yet been officially re-
ported"
The correspondents conclu-
sion is that not less than 75O.-
600 persons have fallen victims,
and even these figures will prob
ably be largely increased before
the famine and its after wave of
suffering has finally passed
away.

FATE OF A CONFIDENTIAL CLERK.

FATE OF A CONFIDENTIAL CLERK.
"A New York correspondent
writes: l stood on the stoop of
some offices, on a public thor
oughfare, talking to some gentle
men. A young man passed WHO
recognized my friend. The pass
er was small and thin and had a
foreign look, and his age could
not have been thirty. "You see
that man." said the gentleman.
+" He is the smartest young man
in New York. He had fine
position in one of our largest i'm
porting houses. He was conf
Dental clerk of the house and
would have been trusted with
uncounted gold. The house was
underselling the market, and
dealers wanted to know how 1t
was done. They approached
this young clerk, and he gave
his employers away. Ho gave
the private papers to the rival
houses, and at night opened the
counting-house to inspection. 1t
cost the firm $3.50, 900 to settle
up matters; somebody paid the
clerk $4,000 on condition he left
the city. The money burnt in
his pocket. He went into spec
ulation. From that he went into
gambling. He is now poor as a
church mouse, with no business,
and nobody to trust him.

| To THE EDITOR OF THE DISPATCH:
To-day the weather is more favor
able than yesterday, and in conse-
quence the attendance is larger, not
less than 1000, perhaps 1,2O0, per-
sons being present at the grounds
this afternoon. But it is apparent
to all that the exhibition is not what
it should have been, nor what it
could have been had the weather
been more favorable, for many OF
our citizens who take lively inter
est and feel itIa disappointment to be
away, found it impossible to be here
and make an exhibition of either
stock or grain.
Glass No. l. grain and seeds. The
exhibit was light. Thurston and
Chehalis counties being about the
only ones represented.
Class No. 2, fruits and grain. Dis
play chiefly from Thurston county.
Glass No. 8, vegetables. But for
King and Lewis counties, the dis
play of vegetables would haye been
a failure.
Glass 4, manufactures. Noticea-
BILE in this department was the mar
BILE work from Mr.. Keenen, of Seat
tie. The specimens of lag carpet
also attracted considerable attention.
Glass 6, dairy products, etc. Lew
Is and Chehalis were creditably rep
resented in this line.
Glass 8, flowers. A very good
display.
Glass II, fancy work. The dis
play in this class was very good and
added much to the appearance of the
exhibition.
Glass Is, Horses. Quite MN.
Der on the ground; but with two OF
three exceptions, were not what
we should expect to see at our Ter
ritoral Fair. OF Division of this
class, cattle. The display was moi
what it should have been. Division
8 and 4, sheep and goats. There
were none. In Division 5 of class
IA. the exhibition was good. We
noticed Berkshire boar weighing
600 lbs; also SOW weighing SIS
pigs five months old, not overly fat
Weighing 125 lbs. besides others OF
different breeds.
The races attracted quite a crowd
to-day. There were three enteries,

Of King county. half mile heats.
Hoppicker was withdrawn after the
first fheat, which was won by Gill
more in 591a. Second and third
hearts won by Golden Warrior, ,:time
second heat, 52H; third heat, 54s4
Financially the fair is likely to
prove a success, and for whatever
lack there may seem to be in con
nection with the fair this season,
certainly the officers and managers
should not be held responsible. for
they have done all that could have
been done by them to further the
interests of the association. The
chief cause of the seeming want OF
success, is in the fact before stated,
that the weather has been such that
the people could not be present
with their farm products.

SEABEcK, Oct. Z, 1877


To THE EDITOR OF THE DISPATCH:
As the business of this town is in
creasing, the size of the town is in
creasing, and the population is in
creasing, aud tie number of married
men is increasing = consequently
there is a very large increase of
school children. But the old school
house. which was built by Marshall
Blinn some years ago, has not in
creased bit, and is not large enough
to-day to accommodate more than
one-third of the scholars in this dis
trict. Guess there must be scar
city OF lumber, as the mill company
have been shipping large quantities
to foreign market Of late, using
the surplus for building dwelling
houses for their employees. And
another thing g-neither the owners
nor their agent here have any chill
dren going to school in this dis
trict; so it doesn't matter much
whether there is any school house
or not, even if the law does re-
quire the property holders of dis
trict to build school houses. Who
are the principal property holders
in this district? The W. NJ. Co., of
course. What do they care whether
there is good school or not ?-the
boys will be able to handle just as
much lumber for them when they
are few years older as they would
if they received ever so good an ed
ucation; and another thing, an ig-
norant, uneducated person can be
handled to better advantage where
there is nothing but muscle re.
quired. However, there was school
meeting called last evening (which
was pretty we'll a:tended) for the
purpose of discussing the propriety
of turning ont one-half Of the
scholars for two months, and
then take in the other half The
discussions, which took place at til e
time, were too numerous and various
for me to des.ribe here, in fact
things got SO hot at one time that
one of the directors rendered his res
ignation to the meeting in a very
informal manner, by putting on his
hat and leaving the hall, telling the
whole meeting to go to hi. Prob
ably this is an illustration Of the
manner in which school meetings
are conducted down our way in
Missouri. After the very abrupt
departure of the director, above
alluded to, a question arose as to the
propriety of building school
house on land which does no. belong
to the school district. The question
was soon quashed, however, by the
Mill company's agent informing the
meeting that they were not expected
to have any interests in this town
that the Mill company were not
directly interested in. Wonder if
the Mill company don't have some
interest here which they don't want
the people interested in? Guess
they have lots of it. More anon.

New York Politics.


There is a singular state of
affairs in New York politics, as
developed in the action of the
two State Conventions recently
held in that State. The Repub-
ican Convention, packed by Fed
eral office e-holders, in contempt of
the Presidents order, declared
open hostility to the Admins
tration in all it's parts and to
the Presidents Southern policy
and civil service reform. The
Democratic Convention, under
the lead and direction of
"Tammany," was carried against
Tilden and his friends. In both
eases the spollsmen triumphed
evser the advocates Of reform
If the Republicans succeed in the
election, their influence goes to
the re- establishment of the old
spoils system which Hays is Ia
Iaboring SO earnestly to put
down. If the Democrats sue
eeed, it restores to power the
-"Tammany Ring and the Ca
nal Ring of spoils- gatherers, who
will spare no effort to put down
Tlden and defeat his candidacy
in 1880. Their honesty and con-
sistency IS exhibited in the fact
that they have been the loudest
in declaring that Tilden was
fairly elected President and de-
prived of his just rights by fraud.
1t is difficult to understand how
any honest man, who. believes
that Tilden was swndled out of
his just and legal rights. can de-
sert him until his rights have
been vindicated; to do so would
be to consent and become a party
to an acknowledged fraud. 1t is
the height of audacity to speak
Of Hays as " fraudulent Presi-
dent" while. conspiring to defeat
Tilden, the "rightf'ul President"
The device is too transparent to
deceive any man Of sense. But
spoils-hunters are too intent on
the end to pay much regard to
the character Of the means.
Neither Of these Conventions,
it is reasonable to conclude, rep
resented the sentiment OF a ma
jority of the voters for whom it
assumed to act. and the only
remedy is that suggested by Il
leading Democratic paper III New
York, that the friends of reform,
without party distinction, make
common cause against the spoi!s-
men Of both political parties
This would bring the supporters
OF Tilien ana Of Hays together
in one party, upon the only prac-
tical issue now before the Amer
ican people-civil service reform
against the spoils system. Ho-
ratio Seymour, Charles O'Con-
ncr, Samuel J. Tilden, and many
other leading Democrats, made
common cause with Republicans
TO break up the " Tweed ring"
which embraced members Of both
parties and controlled the city
and State governments. We be-
Eeve there is yet sufficient patri-
otism in the country to maintain
the policy which has been so
bravely inaugurated by the Pres
ident and defeat the designs of
the spoilsmen of both political
parties.

A plentious rain has fallen in
many of the worst famine dis
tricts of India. Agricultural
work is active, and crops are
making rapid progress. There
can be no reasonable doubt that
the tide of the great calamity
has been turned, but vast num-
bers of those who survive the
actual famine must still succumb
