TIE PRESIDENT NOT TO BE DIS
TURBED.-The Iribune's Pitts
burg special has interviewed
Speaker Randall regarding the
Potter Investigation. Randall
affirmed positively that the in
vestigation did not mean that
Hayes was to be put out and
Tilden put in. 1t was idiotic to
talk of unseating Hayes. The
committee will report in three
weeks, and will simply gather
and crystalize the evidence
which is familiar already and
place it on the enduring records
of Congress as vindlcation OF
the conduct of the Democracy
during the canvass. He Incl
dentally remarked that Gen.

Why SEATTLE rs ABUSED.


WHY SEATTLE rs ABUsED.-
Seme years ago We undertook to
suppress the " mad houses" and
open gambling hells, which were
then common in this town, and
some Of our citizens remonstrat-
ed with US on the ground that
our publications would deter
settlement and drive away trade,
and that the persons assailed
would retaliate by giving the
town a bad name abroad. That
was true then and We have seen
the same thing illustrated more
recently. During the very pros
porous times last year, many ad-
venturers as well as disreputa-
BILE characters, were attracted
here, and when the first class
failed, as was their chronic hab-
it, they went away and reported
that the bottom had dropped
out of Seattle" The other class
was sent away by our. efficient
Chief of Police, and they too,
have been heard Of, not only
from Victoria, but more especi-
ally as correspondents of the
Tacoma Herald, denounclng Sc
attic and all therein contained,
with little regard to facts. We
have never known any man to
become dissatisfied with Seattle
until Seattle had become dlssat-
isfied with him.

County Printing.
''No rogue e'ere felt ihe lsalter draw,
With good opin.oa Of tie law"

WIN -Ood cpui.Ui Vi idh
The miserable system of let
ting public printing and adver-
tising to the lowest bidder, in
ven ted by small beer politicians
to magify themselves as guardi-
ans of the public treasury, has,
in the aggregate, always cost
more than it has saved, besides
acting as an element of demoral-
ization to the press. Every re-
spectacle business man chooses
his own mediums for advertis-
ing his business and always pays
standard rates, established by
respectablej without any
higgling about the price, and all
public business should be con-
Quoted on the same business
principles that control in private
affairs. The act which provides
that the county printing shall be
let to the lowest bidder, puts it
in the power of the publisher of
the only newspaper in a county
to demand and receive extor-
tionate rates; where there are
more than one, to combine for
the same purpose. When the
Mtellgencer was tho only news
paper published in this county,
it's publisher demanded and re-
celved $3.50 a description for
publishing the delinquent tax
list three weeks, which was
more than five times a. much as
any newspaper charged for le-
gal notices not subject to compe-
petition by law. Subsequently,
ve consented to An arrangement
with tho publisher ofthat paper,
upon tho express stipulation
that the public printing g.s1as to
b dane at st.Adsid Htdi, and
tbs net proceeds divided dhstwssAi

EIGHT TO SEvEN.-Accordlng
to the official returns published
IN the Courier, the following
members are elected to the Con-
stitutional Convention: W. A.
George, S. NJ. Gilmore, Edward
Eldridge, c. II. Larrabee, B. F.
Dennison, S. NJ. Waite, L. B.
Andrews, &. P. Lacey, Frank
Henry, G. H. Stewart, A. S. Alb
ernethy, D. B. Hanna, c. NJ.
Bradshaw, II. B. Emery and J.
V. O'Dell. 1t is a remarka bic
coincidence that the act Of the
Legislature should fix the num-
ber of Delegates the same as the
Electoral Commission, and then
that the party division should
also correspond-eight to seven.
We cannet imagine what purely
party question may arise in the
Convention, but we trust that
the members will have too much
sense and patriotism TO refer
anything TO a party vote to be
determined by caucus.

WAR SHIps.-The New York
Herald gives q list Of one hun
dred and seventy-one steamers
available for transformation in
to armed cruisers, which can be
bought in this country by any
one who has the money and can
pay the price. Nearly all of
these vessels are new. They
vary in size from five hundred
to five thousand tons. They are
stanch ships, built both fer ser
vice and for speed, and are just
what is wanted by nation that
proposes to go to war and needs
a ready made navy to cut up its
enemy's commercial resources.
These ships can be warranted to
completely Alabamaize English
commerce if properly equipped
and commanded by the right
sort of men. Russia can have
them all if she planks down the
cash at once, otherwise por-
ton will probably fall into the
hands of England which Is also
reported to be on the lookout for
good steamers for sale. It is re-
ported that the prices asked for
ships have suddenly increased
very greatly, and that buyers
are likely to be driven to other
countries by this folly Of own
ers, who are likely to spoil their
market through their greed.
This sudden demand for Aneri-
can steamships, if taken .advan-
tags Of, might give an Impetus
to our shipbuilding and make
business lively in that branch ef
trade.
