Bad Eliza PinkstOn.

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 29.-The Senate
committee devoted the entire day to hear
ing rebutting testimony in reference to
Eliza Pinkston's testimony. Some ten or
twelve Witnesses, white and colored tes-
titled to her notoriously bad conduct, be-
ing charged with infanticide, and leaving
another child in fence corner to die;
also, that she had been discharged from
two plantations because all the colored
women refused TO stay unless she was
sent away; that she was a notorious pros
titute, and unworthy of belief.
Chairman Howe said he had long
since come to the conclusion that nothing
Eliza saidwasto be believed merelybecause
she said so; therefore there was no use in
attempting to strengthen that opinion by
such evidence. .s..- -.s- t4II
Mr.. Sauilsbury thought those charged
by her, with participation in assaults
should be allowed to contradict her. lf
Mr.. Howe said they might; also that
Eliza was wounded and Henry killed
were facts not affected by her statement.
Several witnesses testified to Alexander
Brooks having threatened to kill Pinkston
last May for beating him and biting his
finger off. 'l 8. .EHt

The Louisiana Legislative struggle.

The Louisiana Legislative Struggle.
New ORLEANS, Dec. 30.-While there
is considerable excitement in regard to
the meeting of the Legislature Monday,
no one apprehends any collision from the
outlook to night. Gov. Kellogg is master
of the situation. There are $50 metrop-
olitan policemen in the State House to-
night as precautionary measure against
its occupation by persons.claiming to be
members of the Legislature and their
friends. kellogg will only admit those
named ON the list furnished by the re-
turning board, and none others, until the
Legislature is organized. There are ru-
mors tonight that ex-Gov. Warmoth is
trying to form coalition with the demo-
Gratis to have himselfelected Speaker over
Hahn, Gov. Kellogg's candidate. War
moths movements in the matter are the
subject of muchspeculation ON both sides.
Those members of the Legislature declar-
ed elected by the democratic conservative
commmittee have been commissioned by
Gov. McEnery. Their commissions bear
the seal of State, which was captured
by the democrats in the memorable coli
test of 1872. The congressional COM
mittees continued to-daytthe examination
of witnesses pro and con in regard to in
timidation.
The President said tonight that no ap-
plication for the use of troops had been
madeby Gov. Kellogg, either to the Presi
dent or to any member of the cabinet.

Ex Senator Buckalew, of Pennsylvania
in recently published letter takes the
ground that the electoral college of Lou
isiana was an unlawful body and its votes
void, because the returning board, which.
in fact, appointed, was itself an unlaw-
full body and plainly exceeded any juris-
diLtion which could be claimed for it
under the laws of the State. That the
action of that board was also fraudulent
in purpose and in fact, and, therefore,
invalid, Mr.. Buckalew argues appears
reasonably certain from the evidence.

Portland have come to this Territory
on account of the opening of the Coal
Road up the Puyallup valley. They
"stood up" Capt. Babbidge for their
fare on the Emma Hayward and refused

The election of Hon. David Davis
to the United States Senate from Hi

is triumph of popular decency over

Judge Davis was War Democrat and
was appointed to the Supreme Bench
of the United States by President Lin
coin. He has resided in Illinois thirty
five years but has never been an active
partisan. He will do full honor to the
State which gave two such honest men

A DIVIDED HOUSE.


RATS leave sinking ship."-OLD ADAGE.
The division of sentiment upon the
Electoral question in the United States
Senate, is significant of the discordance
of the leaders in the Republican party.
Its bitter opponents are Morton, Sar-
gent and West, while its earnest advo-
Gates are Frelinghuysen, Corkllng and
Edmnnds. Rake the whole United
States over, and you would not be able
to fiLd u more vindictive partisan than
the Indiana Senator; his sinister face
fairly elows with hatred of the South
ern people. Sargent is but creature
of the Central Pacific Railroad, elected
bv them to pave the way for their pet
George C. Gorham-in 1878. AS for
West, he was always a disreputable
character in San Francisco and left
there with the taint of forgery clinging
to his name.
On the other hand Frelinghuysen is
mau of marked intellect and ripe cul>
ture. Bred to the practice of law. in
bar that boasted such members as DO
seph Hornblower, Asa Whitehead. Z. T.
Bradley, Benjamin Williamson, William
and Alexander Pennington, he has
never dlsgraced an honorable profession
l., I.~y ahI hn SEnu
ing is made in regard to the doubtful
Southern States and it is proven that
Hayes is not legally entitled to the vote
of Florida, Louisiana and South Caro-
lima, the vote of Frederick T. Freling-
huysen can never be given to bolster up
a fraud. Look at the way he defeated
the infamous nomination of George H.
Williams, for the Chief Justiceship, and
then say if such man could be dra-
gooned into servile obedience of any
demagogue like Grant. Coukling is
also ripe scholar and knows that to
condone a glaring political fraud, like
the countingin of Hayes. would be to
forfeit the we'll earned fame of an in
dustrious life. Edmunds, of Vermont,
is another man who cannot be relied
upon for support in any measure at va
rance with honesty and decency.
This schjsm in the Radical party por-
tends its speedy disintegrafion. So
long as its ablest men would take the in
itiative in all its important measures,
just so long it could hope for success;
but as soon as men of the talent and
reputation of Frelinghuysen, Conkling
and Edmunds, look back and refuse to
march to the crack of the party lash,
just SO soon its doom becomes Ger.
tainty. 1t is one of the strongest polt-
ical associations the world has ever
seen, but it could net stand the disgrace
of the Credit Mobilier swindle and the
back salary grab; it could not carry the
infamy of the st. Louis whisky frauds
and the brokerage in post-traderships;
it could not bear the pardoning of
criminals by venal President, after an
upright judge had consigned them to
richly deserved incarceration. 1t dies
slowly but surely, from its own corrup-
ton and moral worthlessness; and there
will be none to mourn for the party
that, under the cloak of patriotism,
plundered the Treasury and made the
nation an object of mingled pity and de-
rision. The rotten hulk is sinking and
the strongest of the crew are preparing
to take to the boats.

HAL1Bur FISHING

Will yet prove IN important resource of
Puget Sound, but it can only be done
by building vessels capable of carrying
the fish alive into San Francisco, or
sailing them on board the vessel and
smoking them after their arrival at the
port of destination. The little village
of Noank. opposite New London,
Conn.,, has population OF less than
one thousand souls; yet she has fleet
of thirty-eight sloops ard schooners in
this very business. Some men who
have engaged in this trade. have be-
come enormously rich-tor instance. the
eccentric George Moon, who left an es-
tate worth $18O.e0G in Brooklyn. He
began life as
A COMMON DECK-HAND
On one of the smacks. From the
cheapness of the raw material, We are
confident that any man who is thor
ougbly conversant with the business,
could get a suitable smack built here or
at Port Madison. by paying one-half in
cash and giving q bottomry bond on his
vessel for the balance. 1t requires in
dustry. patience and good sesmanship,
to manage this WORK with success: but
there is a great deal of profit in it. if
one will only live prudently. The fish
erman who has spree every time he
gets in port and goes to sea with a
headache. will never get rich 1t is the
man who keeps his head cool and his
feet warm, that gets away with the
money. 1t is utter folly to talk of hunt
ing for
HIDDEN TREASURES.
On the Cocos Islands, or digging for
the buried plunder of defunct throat
cutters. The real treasures are at our
own doors. if we only work for them
with patience and save what We earn.
We heard of young man once, who
told his girl that when he got to CALI
fornia, he wasn't going to fool his time
in digging gold. He would wait, he
said. till some man came along with a
big bag of gold; and then he would blow
out the man Drains anu tahe HIS Bplu.
The young lady sensibly said NO.
John, take his brains; you have more
need of them than the gold" So it is
with these visionary people who leave
sober realities here, to chase shadows
in other cimes.
The NATURAL WEALTH
Of our Territory is not restricted to val
lev, mountain or sea, but can be deriv-
ed from all three by industry. The
mountains have their bonanzas of coal
and iron; the valleys. their wealth of
golden grain and fat cattle; the forests.
their opuIence of unequalled timber
while the waters of the Sound and
Straits TEEN with what would yield
millions annually to the hardy men OF
Rhode Island and Connecticut. 1t is
not enough for us to believe that future
generations will seize upon what we
overlook. and utilize what we cast aside.
We are demanding existence as State
and clamoring for more population
and we must be ready to furnish work
for such population when it reaches
the shores of our great inland sea.
