ASHORE on PUGET SOUND.

The Portland Bee Of the 18th in,tan:
says:
The schooner Courser. which recently
went ashore on Puget Sound. has been
purchased by Jacob Kamm Of this city.
Last accounts said the schooner was
lying in On easy position, had not been
injured, and the probabilities are she
can be easily foated again.
We have lectured our Oregon con-
temporares not little Of late for lying
about Puget Sound; their apparent
object being to injure us to their own
advantage. In the above We have one
more Of a thousand illustrations of the
manner in which they attempt this.
The schooner Courser was not lost on
the Sound, but on tho Pscifc Ocean.
Her disaster did not occur within two
hundred miles OF the Sound. while il
did occnr u hundred miles nearer Port
land than Seattle. The Be would have
been more nearly correct had it referred
to the accident as being on the Column
bia river bar. This thing Of passing
of on Puget Sound tho discredit attach
inc to the loss Of vessels all over the
coast from "Columbia Gateway" to
Behring straits-is becoming decidedly
too monotouous aud won't bear repeti-
ton among our Oregon neigbbcrs here
after without an odor Of most unsavory
nature. We arc willing TO stand by our
own record, but not by that Of all crea'
ton besides.

Der! The city is filling up with
unusual rapidly; many Senators
and members of Congress have
returned to their accustomed
hannts, l will not be too explicit
about the haunts.. The rapid
filling up of the city is in part due
to the coming unveiling of the
Thomas Equestrian Statue. 1t is
expected that fully 25,OOO people
will come to Washington to See
the imposing ceremony and grand
street pageant. Preparations for
unveiling tie statue on the 10Th

:ached pieces arrived yesterday,
encased in five separate boxes,
which have been safely unloaded
and conveyed to the fourteenth
street circle. The work of unbox

A Party.Wali Quarrel.

Mr.. JAS. NJ. Glenn, a citizen of
Cincinnati, o., decided the other
day to tear down an ancient aud
time.worn building at the corner
Of Fifth and Race streets, and re
place it by Il more substantial
and modern edifice. The work of
demolition Was carried on with
out hindrance or delay until it
came to tearing down the party
on the south. which separated
the premises Of Mr.. Glenn from
those of MIR. Cozard. Mr.. Cozard
protested against having the side
of his house taken away, leaving
his halls and stairway exposed to
the wind aud rain. Mr.. G.enu
Was sorry, but Gould not help it

likewise, armed with advice from

standing this declaration, Mr..
Glenn put up his scaffolding, and
workmen, with pic and shovel,
made a vigorous assault upon the
wall, and were only prevented
from carrying out their designs
by the timely appearance of the
Cozard party, GU their building,
armed with double barrelled shot
guns. Mr.. Glenn being opposed
to the shot gun policy, aud thiak

After six years of the most ex.
treme commercial depression in
the history Of the country, the
United States may be said to
have entered upon a new era of
development and prosperity. The
evidences are apparent on every
hand, business has never been
better, aud the proportion of
sales for cash is much larger than
the average of former years. The
spirit of conservative caution be
gotten of recent experience stills
prevails, but the evidences of a
healthy return to activity are 30
obvious in all directions that men
no longer distrust indiscriminate-
IL, and there is a disposition to
encourage whatever stands well
upon its merits. 1t is assumed
that whatever vas uns0und in our
industrial, commercial and finan
cial system has beeu eliminated
and that what remains after such
severe expurgatiOn must con
tain the elements OF solid merit.
The prolonged and trying pressure
upon the various forms of credit,
private aud corporate, have estab
lished the fiduciary arrangements
of the country in = condition of
of more than ordinary soundness,
while the restoration of the spe
Gle basis has removed from val
ues that element Of incessant fiuc
tuatiOn which necessarily accom-
panied an irredeelnable paper cur
rency. The change which has re
Gently taken place in every sec
ton is not tie result of any new
excitement arising from some spe
cially tempting development OF
enterprise; it is the oatgrowth Of
a conviction that business gener
ally stands upon a solid and con
seryative basis, and that values
being npon All exceptionally low
footing, all we'll conducted enter
prises are reasonably sure of a
profitable return. The CHIEF
source of national prosperity, ag
riculture, has within recent years
attained very large expansion,
aud the crops of 1879 will exceed
all precedent. We ale now begin
ming, also to supply animal food
in enormous quantities for the
markets Of Europe, and our dairy
products are similarly forcing
