scattered around in Ebey's slough.
into shape to be sold, the contract
was let to Mr.. Benz. Stretch, who
will run the logs a distance of nine
miles down to Priests Point, sort
them according to their mark. and
put each mans logs into a separate
boom. Some two months time will

already commenced the work. These
logs were run into the slough for
protection during the high water

the part of the lOggers, and no doubt
will prove satisfactory to all.

The following communication,
handed to us for publication, will
sufficiently explain itself without
any comments from us. The docu-
ment was prepared jointly by the
clergymen whose names are sub
scribed, at a meeting held this morn
ing, at the Parsonage of the Presby-
terrain Church. We had intended
to have given our own views in re-
gard to the blasphemous circular in
our last issue, but other matter
crowded out the article we had pre-
pared. We waive consideration of
the subject till a future issue, for
obvious reasons.
To the Christian People Of Olympia:
We have been exceedingly panied
by discovering that certain docu-
ment, purporting t>>be written by
no less personag,\ than Jesus
Christ, has been circulated through
out this community. After due con-
sideration, we do not hesitate to
pronounce such use of the " NAME
that is above every name" as both
blasphemy and forgery and calculat-
ed to do much injury to the cause of
true religion. We furthermore warn
all who are under our pastoral over
sight, to be on their guard against
those who, vainly imagining that
their words and actions are dictated
blythe Holy Spirit, believe themselves,
called upon to pursue n course, that
is calculated to bring reproach upon
the gospel.
Yours, very truly,
WILLIAM ROBERTS,
Pastor NJ. E. Church.

We had the pleasure Friday morning OF
receiving q visit from Hon. Anatole Cousin,
the venerable representative Of tho parish OF
81. Tammany. Mr.. Cousin was elected 10 the
Legislature in 1888, and served one term. In
the late election he was returned again to the
General Assembly. Thus, after an interval
cf forty years, and when our Impoverished
State 80 much needs wise and prudent coun-
sells, st. Tammany sends us her most hon.
ored and trusted son. Mr.. Cousin Is an old
fashioned Democrat. who believes in econom-
ical and constitutional government. Hence
the bayonet edict Of 1868 has bitter enen y
IN him.

The Times is both virulent and senseless In
its opposition to Q system Of quarantine for
the protection Of this city and the South
west against yellow fever. The ablest and
most experienced physicians and scientists
have differed in their views as to the eff
cacy Of quarantine; but not one Of them have
had the arrogance to pronounce 80 positively
on this grave question as our contemporary
has done. We find accomplished physicians
expressing the belief that quarantine cannot
exclude the pestilence from our midst, and
we And men Of equal eminence and experience
expressing the belief that the germ Of yellow
fever is always imported and may be ex-
cluded by quarantine. But we find not one Of
these eminent, learned and experienced gen.
tlemen assuming the tone Of the New Or
leans Times and attempting to settle the
whole question by his fiat.

clans relative to the origin OF yellow fever
has been the subject Of some railIery. We see

ability and learning Of these gentlemen or IN
their science. The origin OF yellow fever is |
mystery which human knowledge and exper-
iment has 80 far been unable to solve. The
chariatans, the quacks and impostors In |
!, and OUT Of the profession, from men
who hold diplomas to negro voudou doc

, lence and to have specifics for its cure.
Panderers to public opinion also assume to

0 But the true scientists whatever their the
. cries may be, all acknowledge that they kno' n
. positively nothing about the disease. and
there are very few OF them who do not e. xpress
the opinion that, considering the doubt in
a which the question Is involved, rigid quar-
antine should be adopted until 1t Is positively
N shown that the yellow fever originates In
IA this city.
Ii Nothing can be positively established on
~ this point, except by experiment, and the
THweight Of scientific opinion is lii favor OF the

from our able and esteemed contemporary, the
New Orleans Bee:
We have received from Hon. George W.
Dupre. State Printer, the defense which he
has presented In answer to the report OF the

n swer appears to us very explicit on all points.
=, It Is somewhat strange that when grand
juries have never as yet found 1t proper to In
T vestigate tho accounts OF the Republican,
% which amounted annually TO 100000, that q
:, grand jury should undertake to raise difficult
!. ties concerning printing accounts that cannot
: be paid until they have been revised and ap-
proved either by the Secretary of State or the
y Auditor.

to Interfere In this business unless 1t had
been alleged that there had been collision
between the State Printer and the functionary
