LEGISLATIVE.

Col. Baxter has offered a constitu-
tional amendment making the terms
of Governor, hereafter, four years
instead of two.
A bill, by Senator Hill of Vino
ma, provides for a convention to
raise the State constitution.
Mr.. Lsrssen's bill, extending the
time for the payment of seed grain
loans has passed the House.
The bill introduced by the re-
trenchment committee will, if 1t be-
comes law materially reduce the
salaries of county officials. It makes
the salaries of auditors and treasur-
ers the same, and regulated by the
value of property as fixed by the
State. board of equalization for the
preceding year, as follows:
In counties where such value does
not exceed the sum of one and one
half millions of dollars, they shall
each be entitled to receive six mills
on each dollar of the first one hun
dred thousand; one and one-half
mills on each dollar of all amounts
in excess of that sum and less than
two hundred thousand and one tenth
of one mill one mill on each dollar,
all amounts in excess of the last
named sum.
In counties where the valuation
exceeds one and half millions and
not more than three millions, the
salary Of each shall be one thousand
dollars.
In counties where the valuation
exceeds three millions and is less
than five, the salary shall be twelve
hundred dollars each.
In counties where it exceeds five
millions and is less than ten, the sal
.ary shall be fifteen hundred dollars
each.
In counties with a valuation ex.
ceeding ten millions the salary to be
eighteen hundred dollars.
The salaries so fixed to include all
clerk hire, but the bill provides that
county boards may, by a majority
vote allow additional compensation
and clerk hire in any county.
The fees of the Register of Deeds
are also reduced, allowing him seven
ond one-haif cents for each folio fol
recording instruments. The bill
does not materially change the fees
of the Clerk of Court and Sheriff.
1t provides that persons now hold
ing Office shall continue to receive
to the close of their term fees and
compensation as at present provided
tv law.

Lloyd Aspinwall says that he has
made arrangements with French capi-
tai for building ship canal across the
Isthmus of Florida, from Cedar Keys
to the mouth of the st. Johns, saving
about 1000 miles in the water route
from New Orleans to New York. All
now required is the right of way
through Florida, and law of the
Florida legislature granting exemption
from taxation of a period of twenty
five years. This will require special
charter of legislature, and strong in
huences are at work to get this through
at called session of the Legislature
A full corps of engineers is to begin at
once to make surveys to ascertain the
best route.

Army circles are excited over the
new move soon to be made by Fitz
John Porter. Garfield, member of
thecourt- martial that tcondemned Porter,
hasrallied all the republican influence he
could command to prevent Hayes from
taking any action whatever on the find
ing of the court of inquiry. Gen. Nc
Clellan is very anxious to have Porter
righted, because his condemnation dur
ing the war was an indirect reflection
upon himself Mcclellan has had
conference with Randolph of New
Jersey, chairman of the senate COM
mittee on military affairs, and Ran
dolph has agreed to press through the
committee bill restoring Porter to
his rank in the army as major gen
eral, with pay and allowances since
his dismissal of Sll5,000. 1t is gen
orally understood that the democrats
will make a political matter out of the
case and restore Porter

Reports from L. S. consuls in Eu-
rope show that wages in the United
States are double those of Belgium,
Denmark, France and England; three
times those of Germany, Italy and
Spain, and four times those of the
Netherlands; that the prices of the
necessaries of life are lower here in
the United States than in Europe;
that more misery results from strikes,
drinking, socialism and communism in
England and Germany than from all
other causes combined, hard times in
cluded. The state department adds to
the above synopsis of the reports which
it has prepared for publication the fol-
ing remarks: The reading of this re-
port will remind many of our natural
lied workmen, who are so fierce in de-
nouncing the condition of affairs in the
United States, of the hopeless condi-
ton of that labor from which they es-
capped by emigration to this Republic,
and open their eyes anew to the SUI
perior position of the workingmen of
this country. 1t will show our native
workingmen the difference between
labor disfranchised, impoverished, de
graded and hopeless in Europe, and
labor free, independent, honorable and
an equal share in political power in
| America.

Tuesday morning, Aug. 9TH, Geo.
C. Hewitt, chief engineer of the tug
boat Blakely, and Alex. Smith, clerk
of the Bainbridge Hotel, between
whom an old feud had existed for
some time, met on the wharf at Port
Blakely. Some hot words were ex-
changed, when Smith remarked "Ive
got to blow your brains out, and might
as well do it now AS any time" Suit
ing his action to the words he made a
motion to draw his revolver, where
upon Hewett drew his pistol and shot
him in the neck, killing him instantly.
Hewitt gave himself up and is now in
custody. Deceased came here from
California four years ago. Hewitt is
native of New York, and came to
the country at about the same time.

A correspondent of v. Y. CONNER
cial Bulletin reports that harvest has
progressed finely in Nebraska and
Iowa. The wheat harvest in Minnes-
sofa will be in full blast this week.
The weather in that state has been
very fine for week, and the work
of chinch bugs and blight has been
arrested. The best advices we have
received have been from along the
line of the Northern Pacific railroad.
In that locality nothing has befallen
the crop, and there is every indication
of full harvest from that region.

from the post-olice, whether directed in his
name or anothers, or whether he has sub
scrbed or not-is responsible for payment.
2. If person orders his paper discontinued,
he must pay all arrears or the publisher may
continue to send it until payment is made and
then collect the whole amount, whether the
paper is taken from the office or not
i. The courts have decided that refusing to
take newspapers and periodicals from the post

FROM Observation-Disclosures date of
July 23,a Seattle correspondent writes;
Major j. r. Bean, who left here,
for Honolulu some two months ago,
intending, if suited with the prospect,
to move his family there and settle
down, returned here again last even
ing. Honolulu, he says, is no place
for an American. The Chinese have
practically gained control of the Is
lands. They have intermarried with
the natives and gained their friend
ship, and consequently the trade of
the Islands. There are several large
Chinese establishments in Honolulu,
he says, doing business on a capital
of half million, and who are rapidly
driving their American competitors
to the wall.

around it on the slope, and the con-
clusion naturally arises that it is fed
from the bottom by some lake or body
of water back in the mountains. Mr..
Carey has very pleasant location.
He has fine new house in process of
construction, and must soon have a fine
and comfortable home.
From there my steps were direectd
to school No. 81, which is in the vi
cinity of what is called Gravelly Point.
The land is little more hilly here,
but apparently fertile, and many good
farms are noticed along the way. The
school is taught by Miss Ida Hurt.
She was having her usual Friday after
Moons exercises in speaking, and they
were of quite an interesting character.
The school seemed to be working very
well; and from what ] could learn it
is quite peaceable and prosperous
neighborhood. Leaving here about 4
o'clock P. NJ. | started on my return to
Vancouver. About three miles this
side | passed the school house in Dist.
No. 8, where a summer term has been
taught by Miss Carrie Brooks.
The country along my route thus far
had been principally open, and in some
places the fires of last year had done
much in clearing the timber away. l
was now entering again the flat parts
of our county, where large ash swales
cover considerable portion of the sur
face. Here sections of corduroy road
are found, which is a pleasant relief
from the water and the mud Crops
in this part, as in almost every por-
ton of the county, are remarkably
good, and fine cattle and hogs are seen
all along the way. About half mile
the other side of the Central school
house | turned from the road and
called on DR.. Hurt, who is opening up
for himself and family quite pleas
ant country home. found him quite
genial gentleman; sound upon the
school question, and carrying out his
views in practical manner. After a
pleasant and hearty supper again set
ont. 1t was then about Z o'clock P.
NJ, and a journey of nearly fourteen
miles before me- There was no moon,
but the sky was clear. The road was
comparatively good, and after four
hours walk | was again at my board
