MORTON OPPOSITION

Senator Morton addressed the senate
on Monday in opposition 10 the Joint
committee plan of determining the presi-
dental contest. He took the broad
ground that the president OF the senate
had the right not only to open and count
the electoral votes, but 10 also determine
which Of the votes sent up from state
should be counted. He denounced. 1.-The
plan as a cowardly retreat on the part
Of the Republicans said, in his rough
way. that the shadow Of intim-
idation had fallen into the
senate chamber, and that the Re
publicans would take 1.-THE plan" if
they took it at all, as they took dose of
castor oil. He was very bitter; and, in
conclusion, informed his hearers that
he was not well enough to tell them at
that time how much he detested the pro-
posed settlement OF the presidential ques-
tons. In his opinion Hayes, having
been elected, should be inaugurated and
all opposition to this act should be put
down with powder and ball. \ blood

Timely Words.

In the course of an editorial article
on the Grover investigation, the Salem
Statesman says:
If the moral sentiment Of the whole
people could be made sufficiently
alive in this matter, it could be made
so tropical for the individual who
would sell his ''birthright for mess
of pottage," that he would be as fear
full of the communicating influence of
the ''schemer' as the wary traveller is
of the Upas tree of the desert.
Our Legislators must be made to feel
that their actions must be above sus-
picion, they have no business to put
themselves in the way of corruption
lists, they must not hang out the sign
"For Sale" if they wish to maintain
an honest reputation. Schemers know
whom to approach; they seldom miss
their man. The man that is honest
and above suspician is not troubled,
his reputation is not in danger of be-
ing traduced, but the weak, the vacil-
lating, and the venal, fall into the
snarcs of the lobbyist and are made
victims of unholy influences.
If the indignation of the general
public will only take such a.perma-
nent form, rising above partisanship,
as that whoever is found trifling with
the high trusts committed to them by
conhding constituency, they shall
be indelibly branded as evil, to be
cast out of all decent society, one
grand step will at least have been
taken towards true reform.

different tribes of Indnians reve Is their
very unsettled condition, and their
manifest willingness to unite with Jo-
seph, if he should be as successful in
his next engagement with the United
States troops, as he was in his previous
fight. In fact they know that the L.
S. army is but ghost of an army, and
they openly boast that they can whip
them. A letter from Fort Simcoe,
yesterday, brings intelligence of the
arrival there of messengers from Joseph,
admonishing the Yakimas, that he in
tends to visit that section and slaughter
the whites. A meeting of the counsel
lors was called in consequence, and a
requisition by them was fastened for
ward for 500 stands of arms and ammu-
milton, that the settlers may 'tonup"
and be prepared to defend themselves.
Sia liar action has been taken in Idaho
Territory, and also in Union and Una
tilla counties in eastern Oregon.
This mornings dispatches announce
that 500 Flat Heads have left their
reservation to join Joseph, and despite
our efforts to the contrary, we are com
PEELED to fear general uprising prOUi-
ded Joseph shall strike as hard and
hurt as seriously in the next fight as he
did ut his first treacherous essay. AS
General Sully said to me, the evening
before he left for the field, ''Gen. How
ards only policy will be to wait till he
has force enough before he strikes, and
then to strike decisively. Force being
the only argument an Indian can ap-
preciate." 1t is with sorrow we are
compelled to state that General. Sully
is so unwell and advanced in years as
to be unable to take an active part in
the present important difficulty and
critical campaign. His justly and
widely-establishcd fame as an Indian
fighter gives him such prestige in the
army, nevertheless we assure the
country that Gen. Howard and the
little band of men with him will do
all that mortals can do to punish these
nalcontents and restore security to
settlers.

FertiliZing.

Grass, weeds and trees will devel-
op fertility of soil. If one cannot
procure stable manure, nor muck, if
land is cheap, one of the most eco
nomical ways to improve the fertility
is to allow clover and grass to grow
and decay where it grew.
To cover the ground with firm thick
sod, and fill the soil with a mass of
grass and clover roots, is to make
land that will pay fair rent to the
owner. Such sod, summer fallowed,
brings great corn, tobacco, or cotton.
One must learn how to make fertility
grow on thin land; drawing agricul-
tural salts from the deep subsoil in
water that rises TO enter the longest
roots of clover or cow peas. The wa
ter evaporates from the leaves of the
clover grass, peas and corn; but the
fertilizing salts do not. These may
be used to feed and fatten hungry
soil. Poor land may grow to become
fat in sod and manure as easily as a
poor pig gains in flesh. Small seeds
like those of clover and grass, may do
most of the work. See how easy it is
to make clover and grass labor for the
thinking husbandman.-UT Welcome.

Tacoma HarbOr.

Many were the jokes and jibes
thrown at Tacoma during the termi
nus excitement concerning the bot
tomless character of her bay. All
these has she borne manfully, and not
until the fever had subsided was it
thought necessary to put the bay to
the test, and retain or lose its pres
tige as one of the '.finest harbors in
the world, SIR" The Captain of the
Surveying schooner Youkon happened
to cross your reporters track yestcr-
day, and informed him that his and
Captain Ellicott's party are now busy
triangulating, and are obtaining the
exact distance from point to point on
the bay, and progressing fast north
on the work asst gned to them. He
assures us he has sounded no locality
on the bay as yet where the depth of
water exceeds 65 fathoms; but that
he has not yet fully tested the bottom
for holding.-Dispatch.

Logging on the Sound.

The logging business has reached
and seemingly passed its focus, until
more mills are started on the Sound.
Three logging camps on the Skagit,
three on Holmes Harbor, and several
in the near vicinity of Seattle have
suspended operations. Let us have
more mills. The demand is always
immense, and competition in tins re-

OF lumber will only rebound to the
greater prosperity of the Sound, and
to the benefit of the world. Dispatch.

bugs. The specimens exhibited are
of an orange color with black spots on
