SETTLED AT LAST.

Al AsASA
The agony is over; the vexed ques-
ton is at last settled, and If not salts
factorily to all, we believe a large ma
jority of the American people will &C.
cept the situation in that spirit of pa
triotism which has characterized them
upon all occasions when they have
been called upon to waive their partl-
nan predictions in favor of the ma
tional veal. Mr.. Hayes was yester-
I: day inaugurated President OF these
United States. His election was de-
cided and declared upon a basis OF
compromise agreed to by the promi-
nent men of both parties and the cove
nant entered into between them was
indorsed by a large majority of their
respective political adherents who
were tired of the presidential middle,
and were willing to accept either cam
didate rather than risk the issue and
its results upon the aGitated sea OF
congressional partisanism or the
Vaccinations and manipulations of
political agitators and reckless dema-
gouges. The sense of the people was
decidedly in favor of a peaceful settle
ment of the question, and anything
except national dishonor was with
them desirable rather than an appeal
to arms. The Electoral Commission
Compromise proposition appeared up
OH it's face the fairest method of any
suggested for a just and equitable set
Element of the matter, and the faith OF
the members of both parties was at
least tacitly pledged to peacefully
abide the result. If Mr.. Tilden's sup
por;ers got the worst of the bargain it
il their duty as honorable men and
good citizens to gracefully submit to
the situation and assist rather than at
tempt to Illustrate any efforts which
our new Chief Magistrate may make to
calm the political waters which have
been so violently agitated, especially
in some of the Southern States, for
the last eight years, and in saying
this it is perhaps needless to remark
that we speak from a Democratic
standpoint.
So far as President Hayes policy has
been foreshadowed by himself and
his confidential friends, the indica-
lions are that his administration will
be marked by a conservative and con-
cilistory course towards the people of
the South; that he will endeavor by all
means in his power to obliterate the
political color line in that section by
dealing out equal justice to all; that
he will afford all necessary pro-
lection to the colored race; he will not
uphold or encourage the infamous car
pet bag rule, which has marked and
disgraced the reign of his predecessor.
1t is predicted, and we believe truly,
that he will recognize the Hampton
and Nichols governments in South
Carolina and Louisiana. By doing this
he will inspire the confidence Of the
people of the Southern States and Sc
cure for his administration the support
ofthe better classes of both colors in that
section. The people generally are pre-
pared to witness a better condition of
national affairs under his management
than has exised for many years, and
we confidently predict that they will
not be disappointed.

A General Outline of the Grand
Pageant Attending the Inau-
guraI Ceremonies OF President
Hayes.

Hayes.
WASHINGTON, March ).
At 10 o'clock to-day President Hayes,
accompanied by his son and Senator
Sherman, left the residence of the lat
ter for the Executive Mansion, where
he was met and cordially greeted by
eX-President Grant, who was in waiting
TO escort the new President to the Capt.
toll. There were also present the Vice
of the District of Columbia. The party
adjourned to the Blue Parlor and
passed some time in conversation. In
the meantime the grand inaugural pa
geant that had gathered at Washington
and circled in the west end of the city
about a mile distant from the White
House, started with their flying BAN
ners and bands of music. Lieutenant
Colonel Grant, in field uniform, and
Colonel Amos Webster. Of the mil
tia of the District, special aids to
the President of tho grand parade, re-.
ported at the Executive Mansion
that the procession was approach
ing, accompanied with the car
rage of ex President Grant, in
which four horses were harnessed.
The Presidents carriage of course was
exceedingly conspicuous in the line,
and though very distant from the front,
was the first object of attention, and
its occupants were hailed with con-
tinued cheers. Colored companies
were assigned a prominent place. The
Columbus cadets had the next honor.
The Treasury building was alive with
spectators, every window being filled,
and three fourths of spectators were

times. countries and races, not OF the ra.
mote past and single people only; that
it comes through many channels, includ.
ing nature, history, and the mind Of man
not through any single channel alone,
or any miraculous way; that we are now
standing us II race only in the morning
dawn of revelation, not in its afternoon,
or even in its MONDAY splendor.'
We can see no inconsistency in such a
view of revelation; but the orthodox
doctrine OF revelation--thut we must all
believe what one man says has been re-.
vculed to him, with no other evidence
than lis indic,duai word. is something
we cannot take stock in. Here follows
the Unitarian belief of deity:
ave believe God to be one, not three
or more; an intelligent First Cause, not
an ultimate blind force, beyond our ut
most thought, powerful, wise, holy, just,
good, not malignant or Indifferent or IN
any way impertect the embodiment Of
all, and more than all, that we can pos
Slhly mean by that name Whlcn Jesus
taught us TO call him, Our Father and
therefore one who can never cease to love
and care for all his human children in
this world or any other"
There is something simple, plain, un.
mysnfed, tangible and intelligent in such
belief, and TO those who Hink, because
they have been taught so to think, that
they must have a creed Of some form or
kind, we recommend the Unitarian, he.
cause it has more common sense and less
superstition than any other we are ac
quainted with. For fuller exposition

Death Of Vanderbila.

The telegraph brings us news of the
death Of Commodore Vanderbilt, the
railroad king Of America. His death was
not unexpected, as he had been lingering
under painful disease for many months.
His last words, suggested by surround.
ing ceremonies, were, "That IS a good
prayer"
1t is sad commentary upon the lives
of wealthy men, that so few of them
leave record behind sufficient to pass
into history-that Notwithstanding the
great wealth accumulated, and which
gave them vast power and prominence
in the commercial world while living
when dead and buried out of sight their
names and memories are forgotten, or
only remembered by the few their death
has benefited, or their lives have dis.
tressed.
Like Alexander T. Stewart, William
B. Astor, and many other lights in the
world OF wealth which have been extin.
guished, Vanderbilt will only be remem.
bered as one who used his wealth to
crush out those who attempted to follow
similar pursuits with his own, tae shat
tered wrecks of whom are to be found
wherever his grasping avarice extended,
from ocean to ocean.
The lives of such men will not afford
an EXAMPLE for our youth to emulate,
except in rare instances, such as Peabody
and few, very few, other glorious ex
ceptions but they must always stand
out, in bold relief, as monuments of the
vanity and worthlessness Of all things
earthly.

Freedom OF Inquiry in Iselig-

The following is from the Unitarian, a
monthly published by the Rev. d. N.
Utter, of Olympia, W. T.:

author of religion, is also the author of
reason; that there is no other way in
which truth can possibly be separated
from error in religion except by investi.

tore, that it is of the highest importance
there should be everywhere the fleest and

things; in tins inquiry, every man being
permitted to stand upon his own feet,

At the present time, thousands OF tons

this part OF the county also, are import

This is political economy with ven

we mean by that is, that we can manu-

james q. Bennett.

The telegraph has flashed across the
continent some verv startling news.
James Gordon Bennett, little fellow
that publishes the New York Herula, has
got into trouble. That is, great deal
of fuss is made over his late domestic
infeIicity. 1t seems that james was en-
gagged To hitch tor life with young lady
named May. No doubt they We're very
fond of each other, ut least, in order to
make Il pretty, readable story, they ought
to he. But it seems that james WIS fond
ot something else He liked something
stronger than tea, coffee or lemonade.
On this account Miss May Tilted Jamrs,
and sent him note telling hin that he
needn't come any more and burn the gas
in the parlor, cause she had changed her
mind and wasn't going to marry u long
necked bottle or beer burrel. She
thought she could do better. James he
longs to the Lotus Club, and when he
got the le tier he went to the Club room,
took something to help sustain the inner
man weighed down with misfortune,
and when he began 10 feel little bit re-
cancelled, he opened his capatious jaw
and said something not very tla,terng to
Miss May. Now here is right where the
mischief was done, Miss Mays pater ia.
miliaris happened to be within ear-shot.
The old gents pulse came up to fever
heat and he slapped James across the
hash trap with his dexter hand. James
turned red in the tace, went home, and
in the morning sent pater .tamiliaris a
note suggesting hot coffee and little
pistol practice afterwHrd, on the placid
banks of the peaceful Chesapeake bay.
The old gent was little more on it than
james thought he was accepted the in
vitation and started on the 0 o'clock
tram for MY Maryland" James started
too, but he didn't go on the same train
or in the same direction. He took the
Long Island railroad and didn't stop till
the train from Fall River ran into the
Old Colony depot at Boston. Meantime
Miss May spends her mornings in the
back paror doing crochet tides, and
every afternoon drives down to Clafin's
and looks over the latest mourning goods.
Now this Is a condensed statement of the
affair, compiled for the benefit OF our
readers, us we get it by telegraph. Some
of our contemporaries out On the Sound
have intImated that james won't fight.
We don't believe it. Not we ANY man

lean, spare and hook-nosed, that he
never would have got through the

Extract
FROM THE REPORT OF THE sUPERIN-
TENDENT OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF sNo-
HoMIsH COUNTY, FOR THE YEAR 1876.

TENDENT OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF sNO-
HoMIsH COUNTY, FOR THE YEAR 1876.
The county is divided into eight dis.
tricts, and with one exception school has
been taught during the year in every
one none less than three months. Dis
trict No. (Snohomish City DISTRICT has
had school for over nine months, and
will, in all probability, the coming year
maintain school all the year round.
The assessment for school purposes for
the year 1877, amounts to 1891 81, to
be apportoned among the various dis.
tricts.
Districts Nos 2, and s have each of
them built during the year new and com
Portable school buildings. the citizens OF
those districts having raised most OF the
money for that purpose from private
sources
District No. 1 has reseated its school
room with new seats of the most ap.
proved pattern. Since the last appor
tionment the number of scholars has in
creased from 9S to 141 in District No. I.
The school house IN this District needs
to be enlarged at once. should recon-
mend that the building be altered on
such plan Ms will permit the grading of
the school, as it will be impossible for
one teacher to do justice to so large Il
school much longer; and prefer the
plan of grading the school, rather than
that of dividing the district.
No new districts have been created
during the year, and none have been
askeo for.
District No. 1, for portion of the
year, and Districts No. . and No. Z have
been taught by gentlemen oil the other
Districts have, wisely think, employed
lady teachers. Greater progress, better
government, and better results generally,
have been obtained in the schools taught
by ladies than in those taught by gentle
men. Whether such result would OBJ
tain where the pupils were well advanced
aud nearlygrown cannot say butwith
Young children in the elementary branch
ca ! am satisfied that women are the best
teachers.
The pupils of District No. have, by
giving concerts under the direction of
their teacher, raised fund sufficient to
purchase an organ, which has become
the property OF the District. OF course
music has become u fixed feature in this
school, and SO beneficial has been the re-
suit as an element of discipline, recrea-
tion and refinement, that | should he der
eict of duty if | failed to recommend
every district in the county to have mu-
siCal exercises, both instrumental and vD.
cal, wherever it can possibly he done.
All the districts eXcep: 2, 4 and s need
better accommodations for their school
children. Many of the buildings usel
for school purposes are unit for chill.
/ dren to enter. | hope before 1878 that
/ this evil will be remedcd. True we are
all poor. To tax ourselves to build
I schoolhouses is quite burden. But It
must he cheeriully borne. The duty OF
providing comfortable and healthy school
/ rooms for the little ones among us is i'm
! pcratve. 1t is paramount to every other
interest. Ignorance is the hot bed of
crime. II any Of shese little innOcents
