FRIDAY. FEBRUARY Ii. IS7~.
THE MAIL FROM SAN FRANCISCO.

A petition has been circulated, and
extensively signed by business men
in this town, to the Postmaster Gen.
eral, asking that the mail from san
Francisco be carried to this place by
the Pacific Mail Steamship Co.'s yes
sells instead of coming overland.
We look upon this proposed
change with favor; firstly, because
Puget Sound would be, as the peti
ton sets forth, more directly con
nected with San Francisco; secondly,
because the mails would be carried
on safe and commodous vessels
three times per month, DIRECT, in
volving a passage of three to -four
days only, and thirdly because such
a proceeding would afford merited
encouragement to a company which
is already doing much to develop
the commercial interests of the
Sound country.
Having no commercial interest
with Oregon as important as that
with California, the people of this
Territory naturally feel greater solici
tude regarding the commercial facil
tiles between the Sound and Califor'
MIA than they would otherwise.

LITHoGRAPH RTIsING.-Mr.
E. S. Glover, of Massachusetts, is
in town, aud proposes to get up a
fine lithograph birds eye view of
Port Towpsend, provided he can Sc
cure funds enough. He has plain
pencil sketch of the town, the point
of observation being an eminence
on the north east side, overl ooking
the entire town and harbor. This
sketch is remarkably accurate ard
life-like, showing up the outlines Of
the different buildings almost as
naturally as photograph would.
The plan suggested is to sell copies
of the lithograph to subscribers, at
prices varying according to the
number taken. If our public spirited
citizens will take hold of the enter
prise and subscribe literally, credit
able and scrupulously correct pic
ture may be obtained which sub.
scribers, by distributing copies judi
clously among Eastern friends, can
use effectively as the very best
means Of advertising the place. We
have faith in the success of this en-
terprise to accomplish it's object. 1t
remains for the public to say
whether IL will be put in force or
not.

on the wheels of the carriage to deaden the
sound, and this Is all he can be asked to do.
Thus the question of baby's prerogative
Is boldly brought into court, and the defend
ant bases his defense solely on that PROPOSE
ton. It will require the wisdom OF Solomon
and the courage OF knight Grant to decide
the question. The Judge, appalled, at the
magnitude of the issue, has taken 1t under
advisement, as well he might But suppose
Mr.. Pools Injunction Is made perpetual, how
Is it to be enforced?
As the counsel asked, "In what terms shall
the order OF Injunction be framed2 viii 1t
restrain defendant from any and all use of
the baby carriage, or will 1t regulate the We
locity of the vehicle or merely prescribe that
It's wheels be muffled? Perhaps the remedy
may be still more radical, for equity adjusts
its relief to the exigencies of the case-and
defendant should be required to administer
some opiate for the insomnia Of his infant
say Mrs. Winslow's soothing syrup. The
court cannot be content simply to stop the
carriage, for then the unappeased clamors of
the child will form still more intolerable null
sance, and lea nil frustyG facit. The example of
Herod and the speculations OF Dean Swift
suggest yet more effectual redress for plain
tiff's grievance; but the authority of those
cynics will hardly avail in q court Of equity,
of which infants are supposed to be the espe-
cal favorites.'
So Iii, hahp desnnt Is likely to prevail again
and for all time. There are no rights of man
or woman but shady fingers, waxen touches"
can put them down. Even those who have
known the bondage and escaped 1t will now
cease to complain and sorrow for the deposed
king, but bending over his little form, will
kiss his cold lips and yearn for the "print of
rosy fingers"
All those little ice-cold fingers.
How they point our memories back
To the hasty words and actions
Strewn along our backward track
How those little hands remind us
AS in snowy grace they lie
Not TO scatter thorns. but roses,
For our reaping by-andby.

DO THE POLITICIANS OWN THE
PARTY2

II has seemed for some years past as
though our politicians believe that they
own the Democratic party. So long as
they call themselves Democrats they think
and act as II they had perfect right to sup
port any measure, pursue any policy, or adj
vocate any principle suited to their pur-
poses, and to still retain the confidence and
support of the Democratic voters We are
pleased to see that the Democrats In Della
ware and In the Sixth Texas District have
instituted O. revolt against the arrogance OF
such Democrats. Senator Bayard. who has
for years carried Delaware. as 1t we're,
In his pocket, has suddenly discovered that
even he cannot advocate anti-Democratic
principles and policies without mourning
formidable opposition.
Mr.. Bayard's course on the financial ques-
ton has upheld the Eastern Republicans on
perhaps the most important Issue which was
before the last session of Congress Mr. Bay
ard is an able and influential man, and he pos
sesses the respect of the whole country. But
we do not very clearly see what right he has
to lead the Democracy, when heis against the
Democracy on O question just now OF para
mount importance. We have no doubt that he
will be reelected, but the fact that the Demo
Gratis OF his State refuse to submit tamely to
even his departure from the faith Is health
full sign, and the revolt viii no doubt have
salutary effect upon him.
Mr.. Schleicher, of the Sixth Texas District,
will probably not get off so easily. He, too,
Ia a man OF more than average ability and in
Ruence; but he has raised o storm about him
which he little expected, Mr.. Sehlelcher
went against his party on the money question
and voted against the bill to reduce and reor-
ganize the army. No doubt the gentleman
expected by this latter vote to win vast
amount of popularity In his district, which Is
on the Mexican border. But his calculations
have not been realized. The opposition to
him Is so strong that his friends found 1t Inn
possible to renominate him, and the district
convention has adjourned without making
any nomination. Judge Ireland, who OPP
posed him In the convention and who will run
against him, is an old-fashioned Democrat.
He Is right on the money question and he
fayors the reduction and reorganization Of the
army.
We have as yet had no indication Of what
the result OF the election will be, but shall not
be surprised Il the Texas Democrats elect the
man who advocates Democratic principles.
We trust they will do so, for it Is high time that
men who are elected to office by Democrats
should sustain Democratic measures.
