THE SEATTLE UNIvERsITY.-The Re
gents of the Territorial University at
Seattle, say that the board for pupils
will be $3.50 per annum instead of $500
as stated by the Inteiligencer In the
Judgment of that paper, at least forty
out of the forty-fve scholarships will
be filled at once, and that will give $l,-
333. 20, which will be the means of de-
fraying the salary of an additional pro
fessor in the University. In speaking
of Prof. Anderson, it says, he is new
man among us, but he has already given
proof of signal ability and enjoys the
confidence of all friends of popular ed
ucation. Portland Standard.

Resumption.


first day Of January, 1879, to make
specie the basis OF it's financial opera
tions. The wisest and safest advisors
of the government advocate this meas
ure. There are those, however, in the
country and their number is large, who
are in favor of inilation and the general
doctrine OF trying to pay their debts
by using the interest on their debts to
do it with. Fortunately for them and
the country, they have not been allowed
as yet to put their theories into prac-
tice. A conflict is waging between the
two factions, and it is national in its
character. No true lover of honest
money and fair dealing wants to see
the doctrines of imitation prevail.
In this county we have an issue up
on similar principle. Upon the one
side we have men who think the coun-
ty should issue its paper and then new
er provide any money in the treasury
to pay that paper. No matter if a county
warrant is tifteenyears old, they think
it should be worth no more than Il war
rant one year old. They would have
the county go on issuing warrants, but
never providing funds in the treasury
to pay them. They would compel every
man to 60 into the market with his
county order and sell it at discount
of twenty or twenty-five cents on the
dollar, or hold it forever waiting for
pavment On the other hand there are
those in the county, and we hope their
number will increase, who maintain
that the county should redeem its or
ders according to contract, 4 e., in or
der of number and date. SO that when
an order is issued the holder may have
some assurance that it will some day
be paid in money, and not that he shall
be compelled to sell it at a discount, or
wait an indefinite time to get what the
county owes him.
1t is the national fight on resump-
ton here in Clarke county on small
scale. And the general principle in
volved is this There is a right and
wrong way to Go everything The
right way to redeem county orders is
for the county to pay them off in money,
beginning with the Oldest order first,
and so on through the list The wrong
way is to let every tax payer 60 to re
deeming county orders by paying his
taxes with them, thereby putting all
orders on level and allowing the tax
payer to put twenty per cent. of his
county taxes in his pocket as his price
for helping to keep holders of prior or
ders out of their money, which they
have probably waited for five or ten
years.
An effort was made at the last Leg
islature in the right direction by pass
ing law to regulate the redemption of
county orders. Some people call 1t ''re-
pudiation;" but that can not be true,
because it provides the means whereby
county orders are TO be redeemed. 1t
proposes to put money in the county
treasury to be used to pay orders. Who
will call that "repudiationl' Is it not
the opposite of ''repudiationP 1t has
been remarked by one we know, who
is well acquainted with the financial af-
fairs of the county, that this new law
is laudable effort on the part of the
county, through her Representatives,
to be honest with her creditors.
Don't be mistaken in the word, gen
tlemen. 1t is Resumption, and
not "Repudiation,' that is contem-

We attended the great instrumental
sacred jubilee given by.Mr. McDaniel's
under the direction of Mr.. ]. Ollern-
shaw, on Sunday evening. There was
nothing oadre in the whole performance.
The dncil chorus was rendered in a
highly creditable manner, and next
week will undoubtedly be n of
the crack pieces on the bill.
The cornet solo was attractive to
the ear, notwithstanding that distance
lends enchantment sometimes, and the
selections from La File de Madame
Angot, were given in a highly artistic
and creditable form. Mac has got the
best band this side of Chicago, and we
do not know Of any band in Chicago
that can surpass it. Everybody present
vas exceedingly well pleased with the
whole affair, and Mr.. McDaniels
should be patronized by all lovers of
good music and good cheer.

To All, Particularly Invalids,

spring is n try ing season. Indications OF sick
ness thould at once be attended to. Fatal
diseases may he caused by allowing the
bowels TO become constipatcd and the system
to remain In n disordered condition, until
abe disorder has time TO develop Itself. An
ounce of prevention is worth Il pound OF cure,
Is an old and truthful saying. Therefore, we
advise all who are troubled with the COM
plants now observation-disclosures, indiges-
ton, disordered liver, want Of appetite,
nausea, or feverish skin, to take, without
delay, Schenck's Mandrake pills. We know
OF no remedy so harmless and decisive in Its
action. IL at once strikes at the root of the
disease and produces a healthy one TO the
system. People never need suffer from any
disease arising from II disordered condition
of the liver II they would take this excellent
medicine when they feel the first indications
OF the malady. Families leaving home for
the summer months should take three or four
boxes Of these pills with them. They have
an almost instantaneous effect. They will
relieve the patient of headache in one or two
hours, and will rapidly cleanse the liver of
surrounding bile. and Will etectunlly pre-
vent a bilious attack. They are sold by all
druggists.

The Teamsier.

He came in with the transfers. He
knew what he was about after he had
hoisted in several glasses of benzine
round on the ontside Of town, and he
was ready 10 bet that his particular
mule could copper the ace for five
hundred dollars, against any other in
the town. So he kept on, hosting in
his spine top" and shouting that he
was the man that could beat anything
in this town that run on wheels. Then
they took him into Macs and they
showed him everything that was to be
seen-they took him into the room for
ninst the bar and he saw them and
came away with fifty dollars-how he
got it nobody rises to eXplain-then he
went into the boxes, and there he
''loosened'' to the tune of about twenty
dollars, Oh the girls he met in the box.
Then he got sick Of this, and after bid
ding Harry good night, he shot out on
the street and swore that he was ''Big
Horn" and he wanted to see the sights;
and three young men from the country
Immediately came forward, and despite
the efforts of the police, proceeded to
show him all over the town. Then we
lost sight Of him. We went back to
ON editorial duties and we had no idea
that we should meet him again, but,
when we went ont again for '.more
copy" we found him in Ed. Chase's.
There was Il fresh deal and the
ace was the first card on top.
He drew q solid ounce from his pocket
and called for checks, and he went for
that ace. There was 4 man dropped in
to see the game at this point. He
wore a stovepipe, and carried q gold
headed cane. He came from New
York, and he spent a half-dollar at the
bar, and still ED" didn't tumble to
the sardine. Then he went over and
tried to get introduced to the teamster;
but the teamster wouldn't have it.
Then the young man from New York
commenced to play, and-but oh!
wasn't the "boys" mad. Every time
the fast young man from New York
would put up a chip and copper it, the
teamster would put up twenty TO win,
and that is why that teamster got mad
and swore everybody was 4 fraud; and
finally, when he was assured that
everything was square, he offered
that man from New York five dollars
just to go home and go to sleep, and
call round when he wasn't playing.

News comes in that rich dry diggings
have been struck near Hillyo by 4 party
of inexperienced miners who have just
arrived from the south. A wagon load
cleaned up a trifle over fifteen dollars,
and a bushel basket full three dollars.
A general stampede is coming in from
all quarters, and about fifty men were
on the ground this morning. The
miners of Young, Eureka, Hill City,
are jubilant, and are working with
renewed vigor. All along the creek
pay is being taken out quietly, and the
Herald has good authority for saying
that one mans gold sack, not far from
C1ark's ranch, weighs two thousand
dollars at nineteen dollars an ounce.
The towns of Hillyo and Sheridan
are coming up rapidly, and over twenty
buildings have been put up in the latter
place during the last month. Ranches
have been taken up in connection with
the claims, and the whole Spring Creek
valley is settling up rapidly.
