The following is an extract of
letter from an American lady resid-
ing at Florence, the wife of for
mer Minister OF the Netherlands at
Washington:
FLORENCE, November 3O.--A day
or two before I left Baden we dined
with the Empress of Germany, and
after dinner she said TO me how
much the Emperor and her Majesty
had been touched by Mr. Wash
burne's kindness and unvaried at
tention to German prisoners and in
valids in Paris during the siege.
just before leaving for America he
had been to Babelsburg, the EN-
peror's country seat, and they had
expressed all this to him, making
the warmest Acknowledgements for
all his kind Offices She added,
with an emphasis that meant she
would like to have them generally
known. II hope you will take occa-
sion to express these sentiments
whenever you find N opportunity. /"

The blsckguard Port Town

it's ribald attacks upon the edit

that that element has had such

WHAT A PITY Our Tacoma
contemporary, while boasting of
the superior natural advantages
of that location, expresses "pro-
found compassion" for Seattle,
that the "seeming partiality of
Nature, who, in her distribution
of the natural keys to the COM
mercial wealth of this North
west, has left Seattle such a nig-
gardly portion
Considering the fact that the
proprietors Of Tacoma expended
the proceeds of 2,6sS,OOO acres
of Government lands, valued at
S5,720,0OO, to build railroad to
that place, with the special pur-
pose of improving the natural
advantages" of the town, and
thus enhance tho value of their
own private speculation; and
that at the end of three years
thereafter their town did not
contain hundred Inhabitants,
and that four-fifths of the goods
offered for sale in that town to-
day were purchased in Seattle;
that the people Of Seattle in the
mean time, without any outside
aid, built twenty miles of rail
road, received an accession of
over2, 2,OOOpopulation; more than
their manufactures and
commerce, and are now doing
the main portion of the jobbing
business for Tacoma; Seattle has
little cause to envy Tacoma its
natural advantages

We were appointed Clerk Of the

ten recommendation Of the Chm
Of the Republican Territorial
Committee, the Delegate in Con
gress, a majority of Federal Off
GERS on Puget Sound, together
with e7eryi Democratic lawyer
and majority of the Republican
lawyers of the district; and we
left that office after twoyears'ser-
vice, with the personal assurance
of the Chief Justice that there
was no man in the Territory for
whose personal character he had
a higher respect. When eur
name was first announced, with
out our seeking, as candidate
for Mayor of this city, one of our
newspaper assailants declared
that we could not poll a dozen
votes in the city outside OF our
own family. The result was that
we received $50 more votes than
were ever given for candidate
for that Office before, and were
only defeated on a local issue by
the voteso personal friends, who
publicly declared that but for
our supposed position on that
question, we would have been
elected by a large majority.
WealIude to these we'll known
facts, not in self-defence or for
-glorifcation, but to assure
our friends, once for all, that an
intelligent people are not influ-
enced by ribald personal defama-
tien, and that we have no occa-
sion to defend our character from
such attacks, and thus give
prominence to yagabond journals
who can present no other claim
to public recognition.

DIFFCEFEN OF OPlNION.-The
Washington correspondent of the
Oregonian says Of Mr.. Mltchell's
speech: "The speech was so long
and dull that the latter part of
it, in fact nearly the whole Of it,
was delivered to almost empty
benches.
Senator Thurman, who is not
supposed to be very partial to
Senator Mitchell, remarked at
the close of the speech: "The
considerations mentioned by the
Senator, especially the import
ance of this read to the extreme
ly interesting country he has SO
eloquently described, are also
matters Of great weight, and to
be taken into consideration; but
it is not to speak upon the bill
that 1 arose. The Senator has

party.

what of "a?
+" Fen the little dogs,
Tray. Blanche and Sweetheart,
See; they bark at me -

We never could understand
why any morsimportance should
attach to the yelplng of cur
through a newspaper than to
THE baying Of hound upon the
street; both nulsances Of the
same character. And yet many
well-meaning friends remon-
strate with US if we do not ira
verse every dirty personal as
sault made upon our character
through the public prints, with
out regard to the character of
the assailant. We have been
the object of such attacks for
over forty years, in q more vir-
ulent manner than any other man
of our acquaintance, simply for
the reason that We never failed
to denounce public wrong COM
ing within our knowledge, nor
compromised with vice and IL
centiousness in social or political
life, either in or out of our party
or personal associations. Dur
ing those many years, we have
never known a VIGOROUSLY dis
reputable newspaper in our own
section, which has not made us
the special object of ribald vltup-
GRAFTON, without ever proving
upon us a dishonorable act, or
an offense against personal mo-
rality or public decency, or in
any degree impalrlng our social
standing among our acqdaintan-
ces and neighbors. Whenever
any man is made the special OBJ
ject of billingsgate abuse by
blackguards, the conclusion of
all decent people is, that he is
not one of their kidney. Our
experience Is, that the better
elements Of society will always
vindicate the character Of the
man thus assailed, and we have
but to refer to our own history
in proof Of this fact. To the
charge that we were "run out of
San Francisco for disloyalty,"
we can adduce the fact that the
most respectable journals in San
Francisco denounced the act;
the ablest Republican lawyers
in the State volunteered their
professional services toprosecute
our suit for damages, and the
mostsearching investigation fail
ed to discover a single RESPONSE
BILE person engaged In the law
less act, and no respectable citi-
zen ever publicly approved it.
The blaekguard paper of that
city denounced Gen. Wright as
"a hoary- headed traitor" and
subsequently Gen. Mcdowell as
"a rebel sympathlser, for main
tanning friendlysocial intercourse
with us at that time. We are
probably the only person IN
Washington Territory who was
honored with a special invita-
ton from the Governor Of Hi
nois and chairman of the com
mittee, to participate in the GER
emonies of unveiling the Lin
coin statue at Springfield, H.,
which shows what credence was
given by the immediate personal
friends of Mr.. Lincoln, who had
known us for a score of years,
to the charge of personal hostil-
ity to him and conspiring for
his assassination; a charge never
uttered or repeated by a respect
able journal or individual.
The same character of person
al defamation has followed us
through our seven years resi-
dence on Puget Sound, and eve
ry time their influence has been
tested by public expression of
the better class Of the people.

to us. We were elected chief
