north and east the necessity of forming
emigrant aid associations.

Gen. WOOdfOri OH the Chisholm Trial

WASHINGTON, September 12.-Gen.
Stewart l.. WoOdford, who went with
Mrs. Chisholm to attend the trial of
Henry }. Gully for the murder of Cor
nella Chisholm, states that the trial
was dreary farce from beginning to
end: Judge Hamm did his duty fear
lessly and justly. Thomas S. Ford,
district attorney, did his duty well
and bravely. ! think the prosecution
made out clear and complete case of
murder. The charge of the Judge was
distinct, direct and positive, and
yet the jury Were only out long enough
to take one ballot and write a verdict
| don't know how to account for this
verdict on any grounds that are not
discreditable either to intelligence
or mora sense of the jury, and | do
not think that the nine white men on
the jury were lacking in intelligence.
Inc three negroes evidently possessed
neither brains nor courage. The white
men were all democrats, so were two
negroes. The jury was fairly drawn.
lhe verdict does not represent the
feeling of the great mass of negroes
nor white republicans; nor vet of a
small minority of sober and law-abid-
ing democrats. These three classes
combined constitute clear and de-
cided majority of the citizens and le-
gal voters of the county. | am sadly
and reluctantly compelled to say that
| believe the verdict truly and hon
| estly represents the present Judgement
and wishc, of the general majority of
the white men of Kemper county, and
they think it was unfortunate but nat
ural and most cXcusable that Judge
Chisholm, John I. Gilmer and Amos
McClelland were shot by the mob in
DeKalb.

Puget Sound.

A writer in the Puget Sound Courier
taking for his subject, "Washington
Territory as Home," thus speaks of
Puget Sound:
We have here, in the waters COM
monty known as Puget Sound, with
out eXaggeration one of the finest, if
not the finest, harbors in the world.
Yes, its more, it is an inland sea that
with reason might be called the Amer
lean Mediterranean. The late Admiral
Wilkes has thus described it: Nothing
can exceed the beauty of these waters
and their safety. Not shoal within
the straits of san Juan de Fuca, Adj
miralty Inlet or Hoods Canal, that
can in any way interrupt their naviga-
ton by a 7l-gun ship. venture moth
ing in saying there is no country in
the world that possesses waters equal
to these. They have an area of about
2000 square miles. The shore of all
these inlets and bays are remarkably
bold; so much so that in many places
a ships side would strike the shore
before the keel wOuld touch the ground.
The country by which these waters is
surrou unded is remarkably salubrious,
and offers every advantage for the ac-
commodatiOn Of vast commercial
and military mari ne, with convenience
for docks, and Il great many sites for
towns and cities, ut all times we'll sup

furnished with everything by the sur
rounding country, which is we'll
adapted to agriculture. The straits of
Juan de Fuca are IS miles in length.

That portion of the Northern Pacific
Railroad which is to run through East
ern Washington has been located for
Il distance of about $50 miles. This
route commences at the mouth of the
Snake river, crosses an arid, sandy
waste for the first fifteen miles, where
it enters one of those coulees charac-
teristic of the section, at the same
time entering on the margin of fine
wheat-growing region. The line fol-
lows this coulee (in ancient times no
doubt the bed of the Palouse river,
known as Washtuclna coulee, for
twenty to twenty-five miles, where it
DIVORCES to ascend the dividing ridge
between it and Providence valley.
Crossing this ridge, and decending into
Providence Valley, the line follows up
the latter valley until it runs out at
the summit near the approach to Big
lake. Here the route enters upon the
high and broken country at the sum-
nit of the divide between the waters
shedding on the one hand southward
toward the Columbia river, and on the
other hand nOrthward into Spokane
river. Passing through this broken
summit, which is characterized by the
presence of finnumerable lakes ,marshes
and canyons, the line energies upon
the slope shedding towards the Spo.

About Il year ago, three families OF
Spokan Indians, headed 10y an intel
ligcnt and shrewd siwash known a.
William Three Mountains, renowned
their tribal relations, and taking up
land Just below Deep creek falls, com
mcnccd the work of farming. Last
spring they were joined by nine other
families, and all are now prospering
remarkably. They have broken and
fenced with their cayuse ponies about
fifty acres of land, and this year have
bountiful crops of grain and vegetables.
They are also building very creditable
log houses, have made roads, and are

The New York Tri6tme's Utah edito-
rial correspondent says: The Mormon
plan for solving the polygamy problem
is to secure the admission of Utah dur
ing the coming winter as a state.
Every argument, every consideration
likely to have weight in Washington,
will be put forward to persuade Con-
gress to pass an enabling act, thus
placing the polygamy and other ques-
tions entirely at the control of the
MormOns. The Tribune says: On its
face this would seem an impossible
scheme, but we have seen enough of
democratic rule in congress to know
what a bourbon majority means. The
state of Utah would elect two demo-
Gratis to the United States senate,
would east three electoral votes for the
democratic candidate for president,
would, in ease of an election by the
house, give Il vote which would neutra-
LIE that of Puritan Massachusetts.
There j. a stake here for which thc
democratic party might be desperate
enough to play.

FOREIGN TRADE.

WASHINGTON, Sept. S.-The bureau Of

collectors of customs concerning the i'm
ports and exports Of the last fiscal year.
ending June 30, which show the balance
of trade III favor of the United States to
be nearly $265, OOG, 900, as against $751;
000,000 the previous year. The total
value of exports was $4,000, 600, and
imports S4l5,0O0,000. Nearly $1,000, :
600 more of coin and bullion was export
ed last year than imported. For the first
nine months the imports were greater
than the exports, but in the last three
months the exports have increased very
largely, turning the balance. There was
more sugar imported than any other
single article of merchandise, although
the amount was over $4,000, 600 less than
the previous yeay. The next article in
amount of importation was coffee, which
also fell of about s. 600, 900 worth. I'm
ports of tea fell off per cent. during tie
year; but the imports of fancy articles,
silks, diamonds, and other luxuries in
creased, which is one of the surest signs
of better times. The imports of fancy
China and earthenware also increased
largely. The largest increase in exporta-
ton was OF wheat, which went up from
96,000,000 in 1878 to 10000, 900 in 1872
The exports of wheat -four increased 10
per cent, horned cattle about 60 per
