The Olympia "Transcript," in it,
last issue, says that the ARGUS die
not recognize Mr.. Dennison as Re
publican member Of the Constitu
tional Convention, and that we sup
ported Democrat against anothe
Republican candidate il the election
of those delegates, while with equa
temerity it launches out the asser
tion that we ale now engaged il
another corrupt bargain of the same
sort" Now if Mr.. "Transcript" viii
kindly inform his readers that we
have stolen a thousand dollars OF
killed somebody it will come equally
as near the truth, as is any statement
in the above. Really it don't make
much difference. Mr.. Smarty, wher
you are in the prevarication busi.
ness, you might as well tell good
one at once. AS far as Mr.. Dennison
is concerned, regarding whom the
"Transcript" has developed such a
sensitive feeling, the facts are these
after the vote for delegates was de,
clared, some paper, (the "Courier,' >
we think) gave currency to news
item which we copied to the effect
that there were eight Republican and
seven Democratic delegates elected
to attend the Walla Walla conven.
tion. At the time we were not
aware of Mr.. Dennison's having been
counted among the seven Democrats,
The "Transcript," however, immedi.
ately took up the question and
claimed that Mr.. d. was "as good a
Republican as any," when we cor.
rected our statement by substituting
the credited statement of the "Tran
script" for what it is worth. We had
no intention of doing Mr.. Dennison
an injustice, although we thought al
the time and still think that he owed
his election to Democratic votes;
and we also believe that he ha.
worked with the Democratic party
more than against it since his resi-
dence in this Territory. The idea
of the "corrupt bargain" that our
irate contemporary alleges we are
engaged in certainly originated in
his fsvered brain. 1t never has been
thought of by US, and we are totally
at loss to know what or who is re-
ferred to. While the ARGUS main.
tains its right to independence of &C.
ton, regardless of party lines, il
doesn't take any stock in these "cor.
rupt bargains" 1t has no PET tc

that a certain medical practitioner,
of Snohomish City, is charged with
being the author of a newspaper ar

NBRIDE's BRIDE,
And the Babe In the WOOds-.-Death
Mystery and Family Fight.

Last Tuesday Mr.. Woods, who resides
ON Beal street, visited Corner Caldwell
and gave him a fearful account Of what
was claimed to be a great mystery. Ac-
cording to the story, as we hear ii, Mr..
Pat Mcbride had married a daughter
of Mr.. Woods, and had gone to live
a mile and a half from Hatehie bridge.
Tuesday or Wednesday Mcbride came to
town and informed Mr.. Woods that his
daughter was quite i'll and he thought she
would die, although he had left a good
doctor and an old negro woman to attend
her. Mrs. Mcbride did die, and has not
as yet been buried. To-day Deputy Cor
oner John Eichberg brought the body Of
the woman to the home of her father,
on Beal street, where he is now in
v@tigating the alleged mystery set
ahoat by the Woods family. 1t was re-
ported to Corener Caldwell that Mrs.
Mcbride had given premature birth to a
child just before her death, but that the
babe was missing and nothing was known
as to what had been done with it.
Upon hearing these reports Coroner
Caldwell at once sent Deputy Eichberg
to the place, who brought the woman's
body to the city. 1t is believed that there
is nothing in the whole affair except a
family quarrel, in which the different
members are more interested than the
public. We have never heard anything
~derogatory Of Mr.. Mcbride, but it APP
pears that he is being assailed by the fam.
lily and probably without anything like q
reasonable cause.

UNION DEPOT.
The committee on railroads reported
favorably as to the contract between the
city and the Mississippi and Tennessee
railroad, and recommended its adoption.
The contract provides for a single track
railroad from the company's depot on
South street, along Tennessee street to
Linden, and thenalong the river leadingt to
Market and Auction streetsto the proposed
union passenger and freight depot, neal
that point. The grant is for twenty-five
years, and the line of route is clearly laid
out in the contract, with proper specifca-
tons, etc.
Alderman Elder suggested that freight
trains should oRly be run at night. He
also opposed the provision Tor persona.
security on the bond. The secnrity should
be on reality. He wished also that the
character of the depot buildings should bC
designated and stipulated, viz: its struc
ture, material, etc. He moved that thu
contract be referred to the mayor, city at
torney and city engineer, to be considered
and reported upon as to all amendment
suggested, and after such revision that tn,
contract should be published in full in tn,
morning papers.
The melton was adopted after consider
able discussion, suggestions ofamendment
and interchanging of views.
Adjourned to the next regular meeting

THE THEATER.-There was a brilliant
audience at the Memphis Theater last
night to witness "a Celebrated Case"
and to-day every one that attended has
something to say in praise Of the delight
full entertainment enjoyed. "a Cele-

is unusually good and merits the attend

cellence. The company is a superior one
in every respect and gives a performance
which, for smoothness and artistic effect,
challenges the most critical praise. At
the matinee this afternoon there is a large
attendance. Tonight "A Celebrated
