DEPARTURE OF THE LACKAWANNA.

The Lackawanns, Capt. McCann,
U. S. n. Commanding, left this har-
Dor at daylight on Sunday morning,
the 4th inst. for San Francisco, and
Mare Island, where she will undergo
some slight repairs and then proba-
bly, cruise for a few months along
the Southern coast of California.
During the time the ship has been in
port, her crew who have been well
taught in Infantry practice, have on
several occasions been on sh lore for
the purpose of drilling. The exact

ments would do credit to veterans in
the army. The sailors did so admir-
ably, that many people supposed they
were really soldiers. The only sold.
iers on board were corporaps guard
Of marines who performed police duty
on ship board, and did not otparade on
shore.
The whole of the ships company,
captain, officers and crew, have en-
joyed themselves very much during
their stay in our harbor, and regret
ted leaving. 1t is the general i'm
preston of them all that the ship will
visit Puget Sound early next Sum-
mer, and particularly, as the Navy
Department is adopting the
practice of the English Admir-.
atty rules of sending the men. Of war
vessels, which have been stationed in
hot climates, to the cool regions of
the north. This is the reason why
the English vessels are ordered from
the South seas, and China, and East
Indian waters to Esquimault, and
the same argument will hold good
for our naval vessels being sent to
Puget Sound, instead of rotting at
Mare Island. The practice of send
ing naval vessels north for sanitary
purposes, has already commenced on
the Atlantic, and we hope that the
visit of the Lackawanna will inaug-
urate the custom on Puget Sound.
Should she come here again as ex-
pected, it probable that the present
crew will be mostly exchanged for
sailors who have been on some of the
stations in hot climates.

STADS IN THE BACK.

1t is noticeable and deplorable
feature of American journalism, that
no sooner does any individual rise to
prominence in public life, than he is
made the target-no matter how
worthy he may be--for all sorts of
inuendoes and newspaper criticisms
which usually give out the impress
sion, without making any direct as
sertioDs, that there is something radi-
cally wrong in his official acts. These
libellous andinsinuating thrusts can
generally be traced to some political
schemer, whose itching palms are
second in Importance only to his
wonderfully jealous determination to
"see fair play"
When Governor Ferry recently
nominated for reelection, Hon.
Francis Tarboll, and Hon. Jno. r.
Wheat, to the Offices of Territorial
Treasurer and Auditor, respectively,
the Olympia "Standard"-a rank
and file Democratic paper-refers to
them in most insinuating manner,
and also reflects upon the motives
which actuated the Governor. The
!" Transcript"--a morose and vindic-
tive organ which comes nearer
answering to the description of a
" sorehead" than any other character
-alao volunteers its dig by publish
ing similar sentiments. There is
nothing uncommon in either of these
attacks, and the same unfairness
which is the distinguishing feature of
either of them may frequently be
noted in similar ones. This unfair
ness consists in giving out impres.
sions that something is radically
wrong, without specifying anything
in particular. E-f F' U5.
Agreeable to the policy of the
Hayes administration, if Messrs.
Tarbell and Wheat, have faithfully
and honestly performed the duties of
their offices, they are entitled to re-
election. If they have not, then let
the standard" and "Transcript'
expressly specify wherein such fail
ures have occurred, in order that the
accused ones can be convicted, if
guilty, or vindicated if wrongfully
accused. We are no more willing
than our contemporaries to have un :,
worthy Territorial officers; bat as
these gentlemen have hitherto shown
themselves competent and desirable
officers, we would suggest that they
be convicted before receiving sen.
