EDITORIAL NOTES.

The kepuolcahs "e'o
everywhere except in the "oo''o
South"
We hope the N, P. "Times" will
,uhlish our article of last week, on
the marine hospital of this place
THE famous Georgia Minstrels
will soon come north from San Fran
cisco, on their winter tour.
Owing to the death OF Mr.. New
ell and pending the arrival OF his
heirs, the Daily and Weekly Estates
man." of Walla Walla, have been
temporarily suspended.
Father Wilbur stated to the peo-
pie of Yakima on his arrival home
that they need have no fears OF the
new reservation which General How
ard proposed for Chief Moses, for
the Department would not grant it.
Two years ago Colfax polled l24
votes; this year, 403. Two years
ago Whitman county polled between
two and three hundred votes; this
wear, $40. Where is there atown or
county in the Territory that can
make better showing?
CHANGE.-The firm of t. Jack
man & Co., consisting of I. Jackman
J. ]. Hunt, S. L. Hunt and F. NJ.
Albright, has been dissolved. Messrs,
]. Jackman and J. ]. Hunt, will con.
tinue the business. Their business
is that of canning CLANS, and their
location is Sequim Bay, w. T.
CAPT. w. T. Sayward, the origi-
nal builder of the Port Ludlow saw
mill, is spending few weeks on the
Sound among old acqnaintances.
The Captain has been for some time
comfortal ly situated in San Bernar-
dino county, Cal, where his enter
prising spirit has manifested itself in
many ways. He is heartily wei
coined back to the Sound by his nu.
merouS pioneer friends.
To PoRT GAMBLE.-Dr. n. w.
Lane, who has been living in Seattle
for year or two past, but doing
duty elsewhere during
that rime, is about moving to Port
Gamble, where he has call to fill
vacancies in both professions repre-
sented by him. He will serve the
people there as physician, in place of
DIR. J. Fl. Houghton, who recently
removed to Goldendale, in Klickitat
county; and he will also serve the
people as minister, in place of Rev.
J. f. Damon, whose illness has kept
him within doors for year past, and
which may continue an indefinite
period longer.
ENcoURAGING.-An elderly gen.
tleman, who is a newspaper man Of
long experience, writes us letter
from which We make the following
extracts: 81 regard the ARGUS among
the VERY BEST Of all the secular
papers received here. I like its spir
it Of manIiness and dignity like
its entire make up. ] know Of no
paper upon the Sound its equal in
all respects-am sure there are none
its superior. ! hope you may be
well rewarded for your labor. The
people Of Port Townsend and your
patrons throughout ought to feel
proud OF your paper aud give it a
most liberal patronage. do not
say this to fatter. | think am
quite capable Of judging in these
things" We will endeayor always
TO appreciate and profit by the kind
words and wishes Of those who are
disposed to encourage US. There is
much in journalism that is unpleas-
ant at best, and such kind words as
the above serve admirably to bridge
over and smooth down the rough
places.

that the congressional elections, in every dis.
trict, in very important sense, are justly a
matter of political interest and concern
throughout the whole country. Each state,
every political party, is entitled to the share
of power which is conferred by the legal and
constitutional suffrage. 1t is the right of
every citizen, possessing the qualifications
prescribed by law, to cast one unintimidated
ballot, and to have his ballot honestly count
ed. So long as the exercise of this power
and the enjoyment of this right are common
and equal, practically as we'll as formally,
submission to the result of the suffrage will
be accorded loyalty and cheerfully, and all
the departments Of government will feel the
true vigor Of the popular will thus expressed.
No temporary or administrative interests OF
government, however urgent or weigbty, will
ever displace the zeal Of our people in defence
of the paimary rights of citizenship. They
understand that the protection of liberty re-
quires the maintenance, in full vigor, of the
manly methods of free speech, free press, and
free suffrage, and will sustain the full author
ity of government to enforce the law which
are framed to preserve these inestimable
rights. The material progress and welfare of
the states depend on the protection afforded
to their citizens. There can be no peace
without such protection, no prosperity without
peace, and the whole country is deeply inter-
ested in the growth and prosperity Of all its
parts
While the country has not yet reached COM
plete unity of feeling and reciprocal conf.
dence between the communities so lately and
so seriously estranged, l feel an absolute assu-
rance that the tendencies are in that direction,
and with increasing force. The power of pub
lie opinion will override all political preju-
dices, and all sectional or State attachments,
in demanding that all over our wide territory
the name and character of citizen of the Uni
ted States shall mean one and the same thing,
and carry with them unchallenged security
and respect.

though as a whole the document was highly

though as whole the document was highly
satisfactory, yet there were some references in
it which should be met at the earliest practi-
cable moment. He referred to that part OF
it relating to the Southern States. He (Wood)
failed to see what the President saw: any
disposition on the part of the South to avoid
or annul in any degree, the present constitu-
tional amendments. He failed to see any in
dication in the South at any election, at any
time, under any circumstances, for series OF
years, of an unwillingness to live in entire
amity with the whole country in regard to
the laws or to obey the government. He re-
gretted that the President, who had com.
menced his administration with such a noble
aud patriotic position, as against the military
despotism exercised by his predecessor, should
now indicate change of policy. Continu-
ing, Mr.. Wood regretted that while the Pres
ident could see violations of law in the elec-
tions of South Carolina and Louisiana, his
eyes were closed to New York, where thous,
ands of voters were outraged. Garfield re-
piled to Wood, taking the ground that the
President only did his duty in his representa-
tions to Congress of violations of law in the
South. The debate became animated, Hale
and Cox taking prominent part and sever
al other members on both sides expressing
their views on the point in question. The
motion to refer and print was finally adopted.
The military academy and forti6cation bills
we're reported and notice given ofearly action
thereon.

struck him one or two blows on the shoulder
with lady's riding whip A tussa ensued
between the parties, in which Wilson grasped
the whip and broke it, when the combatants
were separated, though Wilson gave Saunders
notice that he should make him answer for the
insult. Preparatory to making his arrange
ments for this purpose, Wilson boarded the
first train for home, and after arriving here,
forwardeda challenge to Saunders by a friend.
Saunders accepted the challenge, and as was
his right, named pistols as the weapons to
be used; the celebrated duelling ground, Sand
Bar Ferry, in Georgia, as the place, and Friday
or Saturday Of week before last as the time of
meeting. Wilson and his friends were prompt
ly at the designated place, or at least they ar
rived at Augusta several days before the ap-
pointed time; but Saunders was intercepted by
the authorities of Columbia, and the plans for
meeting in Georgia thus thwarted. Conse-
quently another meeting was arranged to take
place at Pineville on Wednesday Of last week.
On the preceding evening, Wilson and his
friends, DR., Wallace E. Bland, Of Edgefeld,
as second, and DR.. ]. Rufus Bratton, Of this
place, as surgeon, reached the village of Pine
vile, and on the morning of the following day,
Saunders, with Mr.. Manigault James, of Dar-
lington, as his second, arrived on the ground
With no one to molest them, the parties pro-
ceeded to spot selected for the purpose, and
the principals took their places at a distance
Of twenty PAGES. AT 1856 the word was given
and both fired. Neither was struck. The
seconds then interfered and further hostilities
were prevented. The differences between the
two gentlemen were amicably and honorably
adjusted, and all the parties to the affair left
the ground for their homes. n. as.2
The principals are both young gentlemen,
and were schoolmates at Kings Mountain
Military School only a few years ago. Mr..
Wilson is a lawyer of this place, and a son of
Col. w. B. Wilson. Mr.. Saunders is a son Of
| Dr.. Saunders, Of Sumter. 80
