FROM WASHINGTON. oN.-Recent let
ters from Washington inform us
that the War Department have ear
nestly recommended the bill of Del
egate Fem for increasing the quote
of arms for the Territories, under
resolution of July Sd, 1876, from
500 to 1000 with ammuAition, and
that the bill will be sure to pass;
also that the War Department and
General Sherman have earnestly
recommended the bill to appoint a
commission to take evidence of war
and spoilation claims growing out
of the Nez Perce war, and that this
also will pass. The committee on
appropriations have agreed to report
$4,000 this session for the canal
and locks at the Cascades, and an ef-
fort will be made in both Senate and
House to augment this to S125. 900.
They have also agreed to report
$4,000 for the Snake river which
it is believed can be augmented to
$50, 900. They also report 81 900 for
the preliminary survey of Clearwa-
ter river for navigayion.-Le,ciSton

The FATAL FIFTH SHIP.-In late

"Col. Leroy Woods. who was a

Gen. Miller, which was lost in the
Pacific Ocean off San Francisco a
few days ago, left his home in Rich
moHd, Indiana, ON the first of Feb
r:uary for Alaska. He has only been
married a few months. A day or
two before his departure he remark
to friend in this city in response
to an inquiry as to the probable
length of his absence from the State,
"Well, [ can't tell. I may never
come back. One out of every five
ships that leave Frisco for Alaska
go to the bottom, and it will be just
my luck to find that fifth ship"
He found it. Mrs. Woods was in-
tending to follow her husband to
his far off home in early summer"

of the Cumberland CiUiliaga what we
must think an unwise and ill.timed
attack on Mr.. r, Stockett Mathews,
Chairman of the State Central Com
mittee. If Mr.. Mathews was guilty,
as accused by the Ciuiyia,a, we believe
it impolitic for that or any other
paper to multiply words and keep
up strife at this iuncture. We have
before us no easy task to save our
district to our party, and deprecate
that sort of wisdom that opens the
campaign by assaulting our friends
and seeking to disparage the services
of the best men in the party. We
have never heard the fidelity of Mr..
Mathews to his party questioned, or
the value of the services he can rem
der in our district questioned by any
one whose opinion was worth re-
peating and we are not so strong that
we can do without any services from
any quarter.
We sincerely trust that the CiUilio,e
will turn its guns on the common
foe and reserve its whole strength
for the coming conflict with Democ.
raey. Whatever course the party
in the district may determine to take
1T certainly can gain neither patron
age nor power by vicious assaults on
any. much less upon those who in
every contest where the issues are
fiercely contested, or the result not
well assured, can by their ability,
their devotion, and their fidelity
to our party materially assist us in
reaching the desired result. Let us
see our course by the best light we can
get and go therein, without hard
words. without elimination or recrim-
ination, nor shut the door against any
who can or will assist US in carrying
our district.
The Cj0iljas favors a separation
of our district from the regular or
ganization of the party in the State,
which we are not, according to our
present light, prepared to oppose,
and which we may favor solely be-
cause the quarrels of the factions
have neutralized the efficiency of
that organization, and made success
almost impossible. is it not unwise
