WIND AND WATER,
GsrnIshsd with Wharf Mud and lawyers
Fees.

There was a lively row between
Wharfmaster Pat Kallaher and Cap
tain R.. w. Wise, Of the steamer Jas.
w. Gaff, at the landing yesterday.
The steamer came into port at an
early hour in the morning with O
heavy cargo, a part of which was Sl4
barrels Of salt. A few days ago the
tow boat John Means, with several
barges loaded with salt, came here and
unloaded near the foot of Beale street,
covering the landing Whereabouts with
salt and leaving no available space fol-
more. In addition a number of frail
built Aatboats have since then landed
and occupied all Of the water front in
the vicinity. AT the same time the
heavy rains of the past few days have
made that portion of the wharf, which
is unpaved, wholly unfit for rolling
freight over it even if available space
could be found. Despite all this, how
ever, Wharfmaster Kallaher had his
mind set upon it hat the
salt on the Gaf must be
put out at the place he chose to desig-
nate, whether practicable or not.
When landing Captain Wise and his
pilots examined the point, and decid-
ed that the chances to sink a hatboat
were the best in the world, if the
heavily laden Gaf ~endeavored to get
in there. Seeing also that the freight
could not be handled over such a lob
Jolly mud-hole, Captain Wise decided
not to try to land there, so persisted
in mOOring and unloading at the upper
landing where the wharf is paved.
Thereupon the wharfmaster had Cap
tain Wise arrested. He was released
upon a promise to appear when called
for. Then the wharfmaster caused
the boats mate and a number of her
hands to be arrested, and a lively time
followed between the Captain, lawyers,
courts of injunction, the magistrates
the legal lights, and officials generally.
The work of discharging the Gaf's
cargo was considerably impeded by all
this official work, and the arbitrary
desire on the part of Mr.. Kallaher to
carry his point. The salt, however,
was unloaded, and so was the rest of
the cargo, but it cost a sight of trou-
bic, a great deal of energy. some tall
swearing, and a considerable outlay OF
funds to pay court costs and attorneys
fees. The general verdict all around
is that the wharfmaster was very ex-
acting and unreasonable in thus at
tempting to enforce an arbitrary COM
mand, which upon its face could not
have been executed without extreme
danger and perhaps heavy loss.
The prosecution of Captain Wise
and his crew, was this morning with
drawn by the wharfmaster and the
authorities, and the matter is in a fair
way for amicable adjustment.

ADJUSTMENTS.

The Messenger from Jarvis Sec
ton essentially an American drama,
was acted at Leubrie's thAter last
night for the sixth time to a fair au
dienee. The incidents of the play are
Of a domestic nature, the language is
good and in many parts lively the
characters diversified, and the sltua-
tions versatile. Mr.. Macauley inter
prets the chief character "Uncle
Dam" in an easy and natural manner,
and he presents a type readily recog-
nized, at the same time doing it in a
way decidedly pleasing. Miss Minnie
Madden in the part of clip" ex-
hibits surprising talent, and if she
continues to improve as she grows
older, will, ere many years be an at
tractiye star in the theatrical frma-
ment. The MaCauley troupe have
reaped a fair harvest here during the
past week, and they are doubtless we'll
satisfied with their visit. 1t is, how
ever, unfortunate that companyofthis
kind cannot afford to let us see more
than one play at eight successive
performances. In a city of the popu-
lation of ours we have not play goers
enough to distribute around so often
without drawing literally on transient
visitors, and even then meagre gather
ings are ofttime all that a one-piece
troupe can expect. In New York,
Boston, and other large cities, a piece
like Macauley's would doubtless be
appreciated through a run of several
weeks, but here we become satiated
after three or four visits to any attrac-
ton, if it does the same thing over
again time after time. However, the
public can doubtless endure it il the
players can stand it. The Macauley
troupe appear for the last time to-
night, and they next play at Macon,
Georgia.

WILL YOU 2

It is now less than one month until

Suffrage Association, which was, at the
last session, appointed to convene in
Portland. In view of this we urge upon
the friends of the cause throughout
the State to be making preparations for
the meeting that will insure an interest

for a special invitation to take part in
the work. The convention is yours, its
work is yours and its results, whatever
they may be, are yours. No thought Of
personal preferment or advancement
enters, or should enter, into the plans

should work as If upon his or her efforts

murder Of progress and reform; conquer
encouragement that apathy has begot-
ten, aud come up to this meeting with a
determination to do what you can for
the cause of human rights. The con-

NEW TEXT BOOKS.

Since the days when we conned "Col-
burns First Lessons in a little red
sehool-house in an Illinois village
to the present, when helps to the pupil
who seeks C loser acquaintance with the
sciences though the carefully-prepared
text books in use, we have seen no Sc
ries Of books that pleases us so we'll as
an arithmetic by Professor VIM. J..
Milne, principal Of the State normal
school Of Genesee, y. Y, and a grammar
school history Of the United States by
Professor Ridpath, OF the Asbury Uni
versity, Indiana. The first Of these
comprises two books, elementary and
practical, which are upon the inductive
plan, and propose plain aud attractive
means Of becoming familiar with the
science Of numbers. The pupil is led
up TO the rules by short aud easy steps,
but in a way which presents nothing
theoretically. When he reaches rule,
be knows all about it practically, aud
therefore il becomes merely a succinct
statement Of what he has learned, In
form easily remembered. This is ra-
tional instruction. Another feature Of
these arithmetics is their profuse pic
torial illustration OF various exercises,
by which the eye is addressed as well
as the mind. Make every study at
traetive-the more so the better-and
the cause Of education will be the gamer
thereby, whatever some teachers may
profess TO believe.
The second has many attractive fea-
lures and notable recommendations. 10
style and arrangement, it is simply in
imitable, while its prOfusion Of incident
and certain opulence OF verbal illUstra-
ton. are charms which few writers
know hew TO impart to their produc-
tions.
We learn that the works above no.
ticed are offered at very moderate
price, and that such offer, together with
their merits, has introduced them to
use in several thousand schools. 10

details of elegance, these hooks Outrsnk

lished by Jones Brothers & Co., OF

INDIAN MURDBRBRs EXECUTED.

White Owl and Quit-a-tumps, the In
dians who murdered George Coggan
near Cayuse Station last July, were ex-
ecuted at Pendleton on the 10th inst.
Both were reservation Indians, aud the
ceremonies at the gallows were con-
Quoted according to the rites Of the In
dian religion. Both refused to listen to
the Catholic priests, or % receive any
religious teachings. The day aud night
preceding the execution was passed in
chanting death songs and in bidding
their friends goodbye. They were at
tired in clothes given them by the
whites, and their faces were gaudily
painted. Both made short speeches
from the gallows, confessiug that they
did the shooting, but refused TO ac-
know ledge the justice Of their fate.
They continued singing death chants
until the drop fell at 2:45 T.. ~ The
fall dislocated their necks, aui both died
without hardly struggle. After hang
ing for seven minutes, they were pro-
nOunced dead The bodies were cut
down and delivered to the Indians for
disposition. They were buried ou
the llth.
A detachment Of the First Cavalry
under Maj. jackson, and number ol
citizen volunteers were stationed out
side the Jail enclosure during the execu-
tion. The military will remain at the
agency until after the hanging Of APPS,
which takes place next Friday. Con-
siderable uneasiness is felt as to the re.
suit Of the execution, and il is not known
but that the Indians may attempt Ia
revenge the deaths next summer. In.
dians profess great friendship, but many
believe II only assumed.
The execution was witnessed by about
one hundred persons, including ten In
dians. A great crowd collected on th,
outside Of the jail enclosure and sur.
rounding housetops. Whether the exc.
cutiOn will prove the salutary lessor
that is hoped, or will incite the Iudian,
to further acts Of atrocity in order {,
crafty their vengeance, remains to b,
seen, but the latter is greatly 10 be
feared. The settlers in Eastern Oregon
and Washington will not, however, b,
taken at the disadvantage Of a surpris,
next season should hostilities be re.
sumed, as in many places they are pre-
pared for an onslaught, and in all locali,
ties are looking for hostile demoustra.
tions. The only thing that will over.
awe the Indians is the presence Of tn,
military in sufficient force to conquer q

OUR LESSON.

The dignity and comprehensiveness
OF the labor which is being done by
those who work in the movement for
equal rights is scarcely understood by
the faithful workers themselves, much
less is it understood by superficial OBJ
servers or captious cavilers. In the ag-
itation that must needs precede any re-
form, the education that alone can make
IL effective is apt TO be lost sight Of. and
the time that It requires to educate the
masses in any direction not according
with established custom, works discour-
agemeDt at times even to the most faith
ful laborer. Herein seems TO be our les
son-the lesson Of patience; the lesson
taught by history that all great moral
reforms involve a tedious educational
process and must move slowly. They
tell Us our arguments are old, but with
the consciousness that "truth no years
impair" we continue 10 its sacred name
to appeal continually TO the sense Of
human justice which We try to believe
exists, if in q dormant state, in some de-
gree In every human soul. To keep up
this educational process, we must call to
our aid history, moral philosophy, So
cial and political economy, and learn Of
them; we must show that this move
ment is only a natural part Of the great
social evolution by which woman has
come from the most menial position ac-
corded 10 her by barbarism TO her pres
ent social position. We must patiently,
TO all outward appearance at least, pile
up facts which prove that women have
crowned with a new delicacy and purity
every department of civilization upon
which their ability has been allowed
scope; that a political system which
does not permit the open representation
Of good women enlarges the secret pOlit-
ical influence of bad women; that the
precious time wasted in social frivolity
and vice is wasted not by the women who
advocate and believe in woman's enfran-
chisement; but by their useless, purpose
less sisters who are vicious simply be-
cause they are superfiuous. In short,
our labor is no less a thing than to con-
vince men and educate women to be-
lieve that a just and impartial distribu-
tion Of political rights is inseparable
from the moral vitality of our govern
ment, its permanency, wholesomeness
and cleanness. Surely If
Labor, all labor is noble and holy
This labor Is especially so In its vast dig
nifty and comprehensiveness.
