Of a company Of troops from Fort
Townsend has tendency to impress
the noble siwash with q wholesome
regard for the laws. The cause of
the trouble was the presence Of q
party of surveyors to extend the sur.

There is large body of very invit.
ing and desirable land on the Sauk
river, the principal tributary Of the
Skagit, which the whites desire sur.
veyed for the purpose of settling
thereon. This place having for gen.
erations been favorite resort with
the rowing bands Of Indians outside
Of the reservations, they naturally
protested against the encroachments
of the "Boston men" on their happy
camping grounds, so few Of them
got together and protested against
the surveys being extended any fur
ther up the river. They threatened
the surveyors with violence and the
latter called on the Government for
protection; and hence the presence
Of the troops.

LATEST ny MAIL.

The democrats of the House set about
some very serious political work Thursday.
One thing that they attempted to do, and
which they declared they would accomplish,
was to make il certain that the democratic
nominee shall he declared by the two Houses
of Congress 10 be President OF the United
States, whether lac shall be elected by the
votes of the people of the States or not.
There are two agencies by which the demo-
Gratis have resolved TO attempt to accomplish
this purpose,
First by the passage of new supervisor
concurrent resolution. which proposes to
abolish by a decree of the democratic ma
jority of the two Houses, and not even in the
form of law, the constitutional power Of the
President of the Senate to count the votes
for President and Vice President. Both of
these measures have passed the Senate.
The democrats, if they ever reach a vote,
will of course be able to pass both measures,
and to do this they will undoubtedly devote
every hour of time that remains until the
close of the session next Wednesday noon,
except so much may be necessary to
adopt the conference reports and to secure
the enactment of the appropriation bills.
The republicans hope to defeat the super
visors' bill at least by the Presidents veto,
if they cannot otherwise prevent its passage,
but their only reliance for preventing II con-
currencc by the House in the new rule
which has passed the Senate, and which IL
the vital point in the business, is by resort to
the only means which minority can exer-
else TO prevent transactions Of business,
namely, flibustcring.
