ANYTHING FOR SUocEss.--The Re-
publican manager are now endeavor-
to unite the corruptionists Of both
parties and of all sections to beat the
Reformer; to create Southern oligar-
chy and unite it with the corrupt
rings of the North, which have con-
trolled the Republican organization
for the last eight years, which deposed
Sumner from his position in the Sen
ate and gave it to General Cameron,
whose connection with the great rail-
road company Of the continent made
him more proper representative Of
the present governing power Of the
party than the great anti-slavery lead
er. Nor is it less significant of tho
changed character and purposes Of
the party that Jay Gould, who is now
carrying more Pacific railroad stock
than he is worth, and which will in
fallibly break him if Tilden is install.
ed, and he is required to pay the
bonds loaned the company by the
Government, has become the pro-
prietor of Greeley's Tribune, and the
controlling spiri: Of the Republican
organization. This is but further
development of the scheme preached
in Hayes's letter of acceptance, writ
ten to induce the South to support
him in the election, and now more fully
disclosed to get help from the South
ern leaders, which, now that he has
been defeated before the people, is
indispensable to induct him into Of
fee.

"THE Two ORPHANS. This thrill

"THE Two ORPHANS. This thrill
ing drama will be performed in Co.
lumbia Hall, next Monday evening,
by Sawtelle's Dramatic Company,
consisting of Miss Annie Firmin,
Mr.. John Jack-the leading actors of
the day-Mr. and Mrs. Sawtelle,
Miss Kate Firmin, Messrs. Howard,
Gordon, and several other popular
favorites. We are pleased that the
management have chosen "The
Two Orphans" for the open
ing night, for ever since the an
nouncement of probable visit of
the company to this place, the gen.
orally expressed wish of theatre
goers has been for a rendition of
this drama, owing doubtless, to the
tragic interest which attaches from
its presentation in the Brooklyn
Theatre, on the eventful night
when three hunred human beings
were consumed in the flames which
destroyed that stately edifce. Those
who have read the graphic accounts
of the scene during the fifth act,
when the flames communicated from
a gas-jet to the drapery of the stage
and in few moments set the whole
stage and auditorium on fire, will ex-
perience a melancholy interest in the
presentation of the play Monday
night, and we doubt not the audience
will be unusually large. The hall
plan is now exposed at the Olympia
Book Store, for the sale of seats.

The NORTHERN Pacific RAILROAD
The San Francisco Post of Dec. 2Sth
contains the following: "The man.
ayers of the Northern Pacific Rail
road, after having caused to be
withdrawn from the market the lands
in Washington Territory along the
line of their original route, filed a
new map in November last, chang
ing their route about 100 miles south
of the original lines. These lands
were also by order of the Secretary
of the Interior, withdrawn from sale
or pre-empfion. In the House com
mittee on Public Lands Mr.. Luttrell
to-day moved to reconsider the vote
by which the bill was reconsidered
extending the time of the company
for completing their road. The mo-
ton was carried. He then sub
mitted an amendment restoring to
homestead and presumption all lands
on the line north of Tacoma and
Puget Sound and also an amend
ment to require the company to file
a definite location of their route.
The lands south of Tacoma cover nm
area of 100 miles wide by 200 miles
long"

OK SEARCH. The Olympian of
Wednesday, contained the following:
Two months ago, gentleman named
Drew, cousin of Mike Drew, of the
Port Gamble Mills, left Minnesota
with his family, for Washington Terri
tory. They had located for awhile in
Seattle, when MIR. Drew, hearing of
a good business opportunity at Stella
COON, took passage for that place via
Tacoma and has not since been heard
from. His wife became anxious for
his whereabouts and learning Of his
being in Olympia, came here on the
last trip of the Dakota. Upon arriv-
ing here she inquired extensively
without succeeding in finding any
evidence of his being in Olympia.
AS day after day passed and no
letter from him or information con-
cerning him was had, her fears Of
there being foul play increased.
It seems that man named Smith
had for some time entertained
grudge against Mr.. Drew, and had
prosecuted him in many ways, and
once uttered threat against his life,
and as Mr.. Drew had considerable
money about him when going from
Seattle to Steilacoom the case indeed
bears very seriousexpression. Mrs.
Drew is confident that he would have
written to her had nothing serious oc-
Cured, and would be glad to have
any information concerning him.
Smith is supposed to be on the Sound.
Mr.. Drew, is about 5 feet S inches
tall, light hazel eyes, medium stout,
and when just seen had on gray
suit, and light gray hat. Mrs. Drew
left by the Messenger Wednesday
morning, to prosecute her search at
various points on the Sound.

watch visitors and spend money; and
sadlenly, in spite of Staten Island
incapacity and niggardliness, enough facts
were made known to put the authorities
upon tive right track.
II is time for this senseless outcry
against publicity to stop. The human
conscience IS a very susceptible bit of
mechanism, except when it belongs to
beings OF the most logical intellect', and
persons Of this exalted order seldom find
it necessary to conceal their misdeeds
under vulgar crimes. La France, where

success. Mysterious corpses are displayed
at the M9rgue to whoever cares to look at
them, and near them there is always on

tenancss Of tie lookers-on and detects

this figure led 10 the. detection Of the 'aasssas.
sin. The public, as well as the officials
who join in the silly outcry against publ
city, should remember that the guilty man
never forgets his crime, and that the more
the people are informed of his misdeeds the
more certain the chances of his detection.
Until this fact is admitted the authorities
will have to depend upon the n~ewspapsrs'

will perhaps rise to explain how the Staten

unraveIIed had not the newspaper men
particularly the HERALD reporters taken
hold OF the case. The Staten Island
authorities had discovered how not to do
it. and the results were enough to cause

One Bad Hayes Appointment.

WASHINGTON, March 18.-President
Hayes has made one very bad appoint
ment, which the Senate refused to con-
firm in executive session yesterday.
VIM. e. Stone was sent in as United
States district Attorney for South Caro-
lima, instead of Corbin, claiming to be a
member-elect of the United States SEN
ate, Stone is brother-in-law of Cerbin,
and was member of the state board of
canvassers, who were sent to Jail by the
Supreme Court of the state for contempt,
and were released by Judge Bond. Tho
President appointed him at the instance
of Corbin, who represented that Stone
had been his assistant, and that it was in
the line of civil service reform to promote
him. The nomination was favorably
reported to the Senate by the judiciary
committee, but the confirmation was op-
posed by Senators Gordon and Robert
son. Patterson advocated his confrma-
ton, but he is not the kind ofman whose
support carries weight, and the Senate
finally re-committed the appointment
Now that the Senate has adjourned the
President can reappoint him but it is not
believed he will.
