slaved citizens had received intelligence from
Cuba from their relatives stating that they
were held in bondage there, and the matter
was communicated to the Chief Executive of
the United States for such action as might be
deemed advisable. He concluded to send to
suba Judge Leonard, the republican member

from President Hayes to the Captain General,

TRUE AS GosPRL.-A recent writer
who doubtless got pretty clear idea
of the case, says that in our moral
teachings there is too much DON'T
and not enough DO; that we expend
our entreaties on others in pointing
out what must be left undone, while
we prescribe nothing but negative
remedy. We exhort young men to
avoid the cozy, tasteful and CHEEKY
saloons, but fail to find them a place
to go which is as attractive, or better
employment as a substitute. The
order of things is being re.
volutionized in Port Townsend, By
the introduction of open temper.

The Walla Walla d" Statesman" ar.
fects to think that if Washington
were to become State with Gov.
Ferry at the head of its government
the annual expenses would mount
up near a million. This squib comes
with poor grace from a prominent
member of the Democratic party,
under whose management the Terri,
tory was run into debt so heavily
that warrants OH its treasury was
worth only 80 to 35 cents on the dol
lar. Especially when we find that
during Governor Ferry's term of Of
fee, and while two of his appointees,
the treasurer and auditor, had the
management of Territorial funds was
the first in our history that warrants
reached par and were paid on pre-.
sentation to the treasurer. The In.
sane Hospital is the great bill of ex-
pense to the Territory and ever since
Governor Ferry has had voice in
the matter the trustees of that insti-
tuition have consisted of three Re-
publicans and two Democrats, and
now there are two Republicans and
one Democrat. If there had beea
anything wrong or dishonest in the
management of this institution these
Democrats would have been only too
glad to tell of it. So it is with the
whole machinery of our Territorial
government. Every part of it is
open to examination, and if there
are any frauds or pecuIations it is
perfectly easy for anyone who de.
sires to find them and make them
public. There has been great deal
said about the corruption and rascsli-
ties of Ferry and the Ring" Is it
not about time some specific offense
was named?-"C Courier"
