Anticipate TRorBLE.-From Mr.
Jehu Switzler we learn that tho Spo-
kane chief Smokholly has sent word
to the old stock chief of the Column
bia river Indians for all his tribe
who do not wish to go on the reser-
vation to come to him, and that o
great portion of them have already
gone and others are going soon.
Those that have gone took all their
stock, and some that belonged to
the whites. Stock himself says he
will remain on the Columbia, but his
people will mostly leave. This in
formation was obtained from old
Stock himself. Since the above was
IN type we learn that Messrs. Morse
and j. Switzler, who were the losers
of the horses referred to, called on
Major Corroyer who informed them
that he had no control over those
Indians and was apprehensive of

No one blames Mr.. 0. J. Carr,

that he is faithful and accommo-
dating to the extent of his phys

allow him a sufficient portion of

devise scheme so we'll calcula-
ted to throw the whole manage
ment into the hands of a small
combination of active and un-
serupulous policlans. The num-
ber and distribution of the dele
gates, their election at a special
election, and the early day at
at which the election is to be
held and the Convention to be
assembled, all tend to defeat and
delay the project Of State Gov
ernment, or to place the whole
matter in the hands of few ac-
tive and INSCRIPTIONS politicians
if any such choose to embrace
the opportunity.
No Convention was ever be-
fore called to form or amend a
Constitution for any State in the
Union with less number Of
Delegates than were comprised
in both branches Of the Leyisla-
ture; ;the true theory being to give
every class, party and section a
voice in forming the fundamen-
tai law of the State; and in Sc
lecting the Delegates, special
attention has usually been given
to the distribution of the Dele
gates in such manner as to give
all a hearing, without reference
to party majorities. With only
Is Delegates, the candidates for
which are to be selected by 13
conventions of each party, which
will be composed mainly of in
terested and sclf-elected parti-
sans, and special election which
will not probably bring out one
half Of the popular vote, the
chances are almost entirely in
favor of the mere professional
politicians, SO far as the law
goes, and will be made a mere
struggle for party ascendancy,
which should have no place in a
Convention to form a State Con-
stitution.
All the control over the mat
ter that is now left to, the people
is, to see to the election OF Del
egates who will carry out their
wishes, regardless of party. Let
no man slide in under the color
Of party nomination who will
not openly and unequivocally
declare himself upon everyaques-
ton which may properly come
before the Convention. By vlg-
liant discrimination the worst
consequences Of an unwlse and
unstatesman-like Act may yet be
avoided.

attorneys that money could pro
cure, before the department and
Congressional committees, urg.
ing a measure which would sur.
render one half of the unoccupietl
territory Of the county in per
petuity to q corporation hostile
to our local interests, to build a
railroad solely in the interest Of
a rival section. There was not
a citizen and taxpayer in the
county who was not interested in
defeating a measure caculated to
put the people of this county
under perpetual bondage to a
common enemy. Urged by those
who had the largest taxes to pay,
the Commissioners ordered this
appropriation solely for the COM
mon defence, and the MtelHgencer
out-howls all the other suhsidis-
ed organs Of the monopolists in
denouncing the men who were
at least trying to serve the best
interests Of their county in the
best manneS presented.
"Toward Mr.. McGilvra, says
that paper, "we had not the
slightest objection, but when
Orange Jacobs receives $4,000
year to represent Seattle in
particular and the Territory in
general at Washington, we could
not see the sense of wringing
money out of the people by tax
alton to send an extra man
there" The animns of this sug-
gestion IS manifested in the fling
at Judge Jacobs as the repre-
sentative Of "Seattle in particu-
lar" which is only an echo of
what has been iterated and reit-
Grated by every subsidized organ
of the railroad land ring. Show
us man who is offensive to Gen.
Sprague or E. S. Smith, and we
will show you one who will new
er have a friendly notice from
the MtelIgencer while those rela-
tions continue. 1t occasionally
advocates some special interest
of Seattle IN a careless, desuitory
manner; but always warns up
when assailing any man or in
terest supposed to be adverse to
the Tacoma land ring. 1t sees
no wrong in a corporation send
ing attorneys and large lobby
to Washington, at the expense
Of a Government subsidy, to COB
gle up half the lands in King
county for private benefit, but
cannot see the sense of levying a
tax Of 5000, amounting to 25
cents on each thousand dollars,
to defend the interests of the
people. AS to our Delegate, no
reasonable man could expect him
to devote his whole time tola
matter which is represented by
a whole corps in adverse inter-
est. He has done all that could
reasonably be expected under
the circumstance. We have a
printed copy OF an argument
made by him before a commit
tee, prepared with great labor
and care, which we will give to
our readers next week. Some
estimate may be made of the
labors required Of Judge Jacobs,
by the fact that 800 letters ad-
dressed to HIM accumulated dur
ing an absence of ten days from
Washington.

Quoted, we have not gone upon
the street, or entered place of
business, without being urged to
keep up the fight. 1t is a dis
grace to the city, and the public
interests and convenience de-
mand an immediate change" is
the expression of every disinter-
ested business man in the town.
There is no doubt or question of
the facts; then why do not those
persons interested-which in
clude almost the entire commu-
nity-take measures, by concert
of action, to remedy an evil so
manifest to all? There is no
reason to doubt that if the facts
were properly presented to the
Department, the remedy would
be instantly applied. While we
never shirk or evade q manifest
public duty, We are among the
last who should be expected to
prosecute this matter, simply for
the reason that the incumbent
publishes a newspaper, and so
do we. This is the sole reason
why we did not call public at
tentlon to the subject before, and
never communicated the facts to
the Department. The bare allu-
sion to facts which no one will
presume to question, has called
down upon our head an ava
ianche Of personal defamation
including specific charges of fel-
ony. This attempt to change
the issue to u personal one does
not at all affect or influence in
any degree our relations to the
same.
The facts, which nobody will
attempt to controvert, are these:
Mr.. Humphrey resigned the po-
sition of Postmaster because he
could not give the sffice his per-
sonal attention. Thomas W.
Prosch was appointed to the of
fee at the instance and through
the influence of Capt. E. A. Starr,
the mail Garner between Olym-
pia and Victoria, without consul
tation with any considerable
portion of the citizens of Seattle,
Starr at the time being a large
proprietor in a rival town to the
interests of which, and to the
detriment and damage of Seattle
Prosch's paper had heretofore
been chiefly devoted; that the
said Prosch had not q dollars
interest in this town outside of
his printing Office at the time,
and had left Tacoma to come
here in search of business, under
an implied promise, !expressedin in
parting salutations, to the people
of that town, to return there
when business would warrant it.
These facts we should have re-
garded as secondary, if the pub
lie service had been we'll perform
ed. But he has used the office
as source of personal revenue
solely, in utter disregard of pub
lie interest or convenience. He
farmed it out for stipulated
sum without giving to it any
personal attention which would
interfere with his daily avoca-
ton in his own private business.
To save rent. he removed the
office to an unpainted and un-
plastered board shanty but II
feet in width, the cases through
the center leaving passage not
much over five feet on either
side, that on the public side not
extending beyond the cases, not
swept oftener than once a week
and lighted only by a half win
dow in the door. This low, dark,
dirty passage, where two per-
sons can barely pass, is all the
public accommodations for the
delivery of the mails to nearly
five thousand people. 1t is not

The M'ciIvra Appropriation.

NV sss ~sssss - SeF r.
In the District Court yester-
day Chief Justice Lewis granted
perpetual injunction, restrain
ing the Treasurer Of. King Coun-
ty from paying the warrant for
$500, drawn for the purpose of
paying McGilvra's expenses to
Washington; whereupon the In
teligencer glorifies itself by ma
ligning the County Commission
ers, as follows:
FULLY VINDICATED.-Several months
ago, when q Corrupt and venal Board of
County Commissioners. manipulated by
one of their own number. whose princi-
pie is interest on all occasions. sought
to appropriate six hundred dollars of
the peoples money for holiday trip
to Washington for an attorney of this
city, this paper had the manhood and
fidelity to oppose it as scheme to ben.
eft few at the expense of the many.
This, and much more of the
same sort. Now, while We do
not doubt that the decision of
the Court is strictly according
to law, yet there is just as much
reason for questioning the mo-
tives and assailing the integrity
of Judge Lewis in this matter as
there is for attriDuting to the
gentlemen who compose the
Board of Commissioners venaity
and corruption in offie. If they
were actuated by corrupt mo-
tives, then are a large portion OF
the heaviest taxpayers and most
respected citizens of the county
equally guilty; no citizen who
urged the measure can escape
the censure; if the measure was
venal and corrupt, the inevitable
logical conclusion is, that all
who aided and abetted its pas
sage were actuated by venal and
corrupt motlves-Messrs. Hor-
ton, Denny, Gatzert, and others,
no less than Messrs. Maddocks,
O'Brien and Stearns. But there
was not an incident connected
with the affair to indicate an ul-
terror or corrupt motive, or to
raise suspicion in the mind OF
any honest man that it was any
thing in the nature Of ga scheme
to benefit a few at the expense
of the many
We confess that we were not
among those who petitioned for
this appropriation, for the sim
pie reason that we questioned
the legal authority of the Board
to make it. But we assented to
it as justified by much legal in
depreciation as to the discretion
ary powers of municipal govern
ment, repeated precedents, and
extraordinary exigencies. The
employment of legal counsel for
extraordinary occasions is not
an uncommon thing by muniei-
pal corporations; the employ
ment of experts IN the invcsti-
CATION of records is frequently
done and paid for out of the pub
lie treasury, and no appeal taken
to the Courts, because public
sentiment assented to the higher
law of necessity. If there ever
was an occasion demanding the
exercise ofextraordinary powers
by the public authorities for the
protection Of the rights Of their
constituents, this was one. That
the wisest and best thing was
done to meet the emergency is
not now the question; but that
the Commissioners acted in good
faith, without a corrupt motive,
and with reference to public in
terests, according to the best
lights before them, no one not
blinded by prejudice or frenzied
by malice will question. The
N. P. r. r. Co. had a large and
influential lobby, with the ablest

The Constitutional Convention.
The people are being constant
ly warned by tho newspapers Of
smaller calibre of the danger to
be apprehended from "ring"
control in the approaching Con-
stitutlonal Convention. Ofwhom
or what these ring combinations
are composed, or what special
purpose they are intended to
serve, or end they have in view,
we have not been able to learn
from the most diligent inquiry.
In searching for the "Federal
nng," more commonly called the
Ferry ring" at Olympia, We
could find no more concert of
action than between a like num-
Der of citizens Of any other class
belonging to the same political
party-lawyers, merchants or
mechanics-and we have never
known them to act as a unit in
any party caucus. A portion of
them are enthusiastic admirers
of the "Hayes policy" the 9th
ers "don't go cent on it, If
there is any ring there, it is like
the ring broken between lovers,
of which each has a seperate
portion which is treasured in
secret. The act under which
! the Convention is called has not
I a feature in it recommended by
Governor Ferry, nor one to
which he did not give his official
approval reluctantly. Another
imaginary ring which is fire.
quently alluded to, is called the
mCustom House ring" located
at Port Townsend. All the per-
sons connected with, or under
the control of the custom house,
does not exceed a dozen, with
no more political influence
than any other dozen men of
the same social standing. All
the ring that we could ever dis
cover at that place was compos-
ed OF about an equal number of
representative men of either po-
litlcal party, drawn together in
intimate social relations by kin
drcd tastes and habits, and equal
ly the objects of the envy and
hatred of the baser social ele-
ments who naturally hate what
they have not the disposition to
emulate. That is all that we
know about rings. The natural
conclusion is, that those who cry
out about rings, adopt this sub
terfuge to commend themselves
to the public favor which they
cannot hope to win by their own
merits, by plying the role OF
the peoples defenders against
imaginary conspiracies; fighters
of wind-mills. The zeal of men
who are always exposing public
wrongs and never bring any
thing to light of any practical
account, may be properly regard
ed as actuated by some other
motive than that professed.
We do not believe that the Act
of the Territorial Legislature
for the organization of a State
Government, was the result of
ring combination for Interior
purposes, and we do know that
it was not got up under the ad-
vice or through the instrument
tality Of any of the men whose
names have been associated with
the imaginary rings above allu-
ded to. But, nevertheless, the
most skillful caucus manipula-
tor and ring politician could not
