Ed. INTELLIGENcER.-I noticed an
article in the INTELLIGENCER of April
9th taken from the Transcript, saying
that gentleman named Wait had for
werded stock of goods to Elma for the
pur, use Of starting a store at that
place, which unfortunately is a mistake.
Mr.. Wait has been selling goods at
Montesa1o for over six months; so for
all the benefit he is to Elma, he might
as we'll be in Olympia, for we can't get
to his store in the winter from this
place:
Mr.. w. T. Abel, from Cowlltz, has
commenced work on q mill, and intends
to have it ready to grind the present
crop. Now, if some one will bring in
stock of goods, we think We can live
at home in the future. We have had
several fine showers of rain the past
week. Everything of the crop kind is
growing fast, and promises bountiful
harvest this fall. We have just fin
ished q bridge over the Coauallum
creek. It is about $50 feet III length
and sixteen feet wide. The main
span crossing the creek channel is sixty
feet in length. 1t is good substan-
tial bridge and has not cost our county
one dollar being built by volunteer
work under the supervision of Mr.. Z.
Smith. We are bound to improve our
county if it can be done without throw
ing us in debt. So much the better,
but if we can't build bridges and roads
any other way We will go in debt for
them, for they will soon pay their own
debts by the way of inducing settle
ment. We have several new settlers in
the valley this year. and have the pro-
mise of several more families this fall,
there is pie ty of room for all who
desire homes. Z.

there is reason to believe that the foun-
dations of an arrangement have been
laid between the cabinets of London
and st. Petersburg. small groups of

extremely difficult to say how far the

LONDON, May 20.-The election for
member for the House of Commons. for
the county of Dorm, Ireland, resulted in
the choice of Lord Castlereagh, Con-
sentative receiving 6076 votes and An
drew. Liberal SOIL.
A correspondent says Russia has not
offered England sufficient concessions in
Bulgaria. Russia, in fact, prefers to
surrender her Asiatic acquisitions rather
than forego her conquest in Bulgaria.
The Russian official papers reiterat.
ed the statement that the movements
of the army before Constsntinople are
not hostile or menacing. The Pera cor
respondent says this is becoming the
general conviction there, although
Thursday and Fridays movements
caused q regular panic.
The strength and organization of the
Turkish army is now such that prudent
Generals like Todleben would hesitate
to attempt Coup de main,
while his rear is harrassed by
instruction. Todleben's object has
been to take up good defensive posi-
ton. He was not allowed to fall back
from San Stefano. He therefore con-
solidated his men as far as possible by
bringing up troops from the rear. Blu
charest advices state that the Russians
continue to move troops and guns from
the Danube into Bulgaria. None are
coming northwari. Prince Gortscha-
kof is better.
LONDON. May 20.-An uncon6rmed

A Great Farce, or Great Tragedy.

Alexander H. Stephens has written
a letter in reply to the illusions made
to him by Mr. Potter, in his recent
communication, in which he (Mr
Stephens) unreservedly denounces the
Potter fraud" concluding in the fol-
lowing language:
| have no time to say more at present,
except to add that look upon the whole
of this proceeding, concocted as it was,
conducted as it has been, as most uuwise
most unfortunate, and most mischievous
Its effect will be to disturb the peace, har-
mony and quiet of the country Neither
Mr. Potter nor anybody else can prevent it !;
and | say to him most respectfully, that
nothing short of an immediate general and
firm concert of action of the law and order
abiding people of all parties. Republicans
and Democrats throughout the Union in
reprobation of this investigation proceed
ing any further with view to disturb the
Presidential title, such as announced by
the Pennsylvania Democracy in their con
vention a few days ago, can arrest the most
fearful consequences. Those who have,
thought innocently, sowed the wind will
reap the whiIlwind,
My own opinion is, as have repeatedly
said, this affair will prove in the end either
a contemplate farce or horrible tragedy.
Whether it will lead to the INSTRUMENTATION
of our Federal Republic the result must
show. But say, as l said on another
recent occasion, that all soft words instill-
ing in the mind of the people of this
country the idea that MIR. Hayes can be
peaceably uuseated by Congress are as de-
lusive and as guileful as the whisperings of
the great arch tiend in the shape of toad
in the ear of Eve, from which sprung all
our woes.

THE ARMY BILL.

The House passed the army bill, on
Tuesday, with such amendments as were
necessary to make it conform to the re-
quirements of an army Of 10000 men.
The Knott amendment, which techni-
cally prohibits the use Of the Army as
POSSE CoMITATUs, except in cases au-
thorized by Congress, was adopted by
vote of 100 yeas to III nays. Mr.
Brogden, of North Carolina, was the
only Republican who voted for this
amendment, while among the Demo-
Gratis, Mr. Bouck, of Wisconsin, Mr..
Cutler, of New jersey, Mr. Pridmore,
of Virginia and Mr. Schleicher, of Texas,
voted against it, The adoption of the
Knott amendment is one of the most
ominous political movements yet made
by the Democracy. If that amendment
should become law, no single United
States soldier could be used in any
State, even upon the requiSition of a
Governor, to in suppressing strike
riots, unless Congress should have
specially authorized its use for that
particular purpose Soldiers could not
be used to break up Illicit distillation in
the Southern States as the law now
stands. The amendment is violation
Of the Constitution, which makes the
President the commander-in-chief of the

into expressing more sense in this than
he has lately been guilty of,

THERE is a large class of communis-
tic gentlemen, roaming the country at
large, who seem to think it perfectly
honest to appropriate other peoples
property, so they can realize share of
it. 1t is this class that Butler, Wright
and other unmitigated demagogues in
Congress speak so touchingly of as
starving Americans" "as laborers
who can get no show in Congress" as
workingmen whom, under the oppres-
sions of capital, are growing poorer
day by day. Taking their cue from
these typical Demagogues on the floor
Of Congress, the communstic press of
the country re-echoes the already famil-
lar doctrines in such falacious argu-
ments as this: 1.-The employer can, by
" force Of circumstances, compel men
to work for mere subsistence, and
the whole question of humanity is
eliminated rem the controversy be-
tween labor and capital. This being
"the case, how can the employer OBJ
ject when the laborer chooses to use
I" force The use of force by the la
"borer is only a natural retaliation
" He stands on his natural right of revo-
luton What better encouragement
for bloodshed and riot can be imagined
than such specious appeals to the pas
sions of unemployed men, whose ears
would be closed against such inhamma-
tory harangues, did not idle hands dan
gle by their sides. 1t is putting low
estimate upon the average intelligence
Of American workmen to treat them to
such twaddle, and it would be well for
the future peace of the country, could
few of the authors of such appeals
dangle at the end of stout cord of
hemp.

A Demagogue's Bid for Popularity.

A bill has recently been laid before
the House by member of the Com
mittee on Public Lands, providing for
the loan of five hundred dollars to every
person who shall settle on the public
lands under the Homestead law, the
act to be in operation until ten millions
Of dollars have been expended in such
loans, which, by the way, is one of the
pet schemes of the new " National Par
ty," the representatives Of which, in
Pennsylvania, have recently made nomi-
nations at Philadelphia. The principle
that the public moneys, as we'll as the
public lands, may be used to encourage
the settlement and cultivation of the
public lands has been advocated at diff
terent times in the history of the coun-
try. 1t is thought by some a safe
means of relief for the multitude of I'M
employed men at present in the coun-
try. 1t is urged that the retarded
growth of productive industry in our
farming districts throughout the States,
resulting from the unwilingness of
young men to engage in agricultural
pursuits, needs some such active stimu-
liant, and which, in the Judgment of
many good men, .justiiies a resort bv
the Government to the expedient pro-
posed. Leaving out of the question
the equity and justice of the PROPOSE
ton, it is difficult to imagine how such
a project can benefit the class for whose
advantage it is intended One of the
immediate effects of such a measure
will be to flood our vacant government
lands with an army of adventures and
spectators, while the large majority of
deserving laborers and unemployed men
would, from their inability to raise the
necessary means to reach the West be
compelled to remain in our large towns
and cities unidentified by such measure
There are also at this time thousands of
young married men who have left their
homes in the agricultural districts of
the States and gone into the cities,
because of their aversion-whethe rea-
sonable or not, it is unnecessary to in
quire-to the laborious life of a farmer,
and are waiting in the vain hope of
revival of business to secure some sort
of employment at city trades. This
class would, unfortunately, as a general

whom it was his desire to benefit, but
little appreciation of the real character
of American working women If there
is one American characteristic, it is the
general freedom of social intercourse
between the sexes in this country 1t
is confined to no class of society, but
permeates every circle, and is the founda-
ton of our entire social system. This
fact Mr.. Stewart seems to have entirely
overlooked The social restraints a
woman assumed in becoming an in
mate of his palatial structure were not
atoned for by any compensating advan-
tage of mere personal comfort or Ella
gance of surroundings. Beside the de-
grading sense of personal dependence,
engendered by the stringent and neces-
sary regulations adopted in its manage
ment, was necessarily subversive of per.
sonal liberty, of which men and women
alike Of the present generation have
very enlarged ideas.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1878-06-01

rule, rather linger on the verge of des-
titution in our large cities than endeavor
to build up by hard toll and self-denial
slow but sure competency either in
Kansas or Montana To them evil
dentlv q tender of Government aid in
the settlement Of Western lands would
prove but small temptation Phian-
thropic then as such measure NAV
seem, we see little in it, except the
encouragement of the schemes of specu-
lators and Of land grabbers. 1t would
be well for the country were the case
otherwise, and some safe guarantee of
Government aid could be secured de-
serving men, who would become actual
settlers When we reflect what mag
nificcnt Government domain has been
lost to the individual enterprise of Young
men of our Eastern States, under the
Infamous system of land subsidies to
speculative railroad and other corpora
tons, it would seem emnently proper
that Congress should provide some
means to induce Industrious settlers to
avail themselves of what remains. We
doubt, however, whether that object is
the inspiring motive Of the bill referred
to- since it was presented by one of the
most notorious demagogues in the pres
ent Congress, MIR Wright, of Pennsyl-
vania.
