The Episcopal aud Catholic churches goner-
ally are making unusual preparation for the
observance of Easter, especially as regards the
musical portion of tho services. The chors
are being thoroughly drilled by their several
leaders, and no doubt the music which will be
rendered will far surpass that for many years
past. The choirs have also been materially
augmented by the addition of volunteers, aud
in some cases TO considerable extent,
and IL is not unreasonable to say
that the best musical talent, both
amateur and professional, of the District
will join their voices in hymns of praise to the
Almighty. The Rltars, too, IN the several
churches will be handsomely dressed in ever.
greens and flowers, and special sermons will
be preached. The finest music unqucstionably
will be at st. Augustine's and ST. Domiuic's
churches.
At st. Augustinc's church, Fifteenth street.
between l. and NJ, in addition to the regular
choir there will be chorus of twenty-five
voices and an orchestra of twenty-five
pieces, mostly of the Marine Band
Professor l.. Schneider, the leader of the
Marine Band has volunteered his services,
and will render q bass solo on u carone, II
new French instrument which the Professor
received but two weeks ago from Paris. This
will DO its first public trial in America. Iu
order to guard against rush and to secure
comfort during tine services tickets will be
issued, without which no person will gain adj.

At St. Dominic's church forty voices, to-
gcther with an orchestra of twenty-five pieces
will render the music. There will also be
solo on the French horn, with orchestra
chorus and quartette, also assisted By the

say it was political trade, while
my plan is one that large majority
OF our party will endorse. 1 hope
you will agree on a plan and have a
conference with General Hancock on
the subject.
The above was received from a
prominent Greenbacker and by Col.
Duncan forwarded with a recon-
mendation to General Hancock not
to make any reply to it. He, how
ever, wrote me as follows:
CONFIDENTIAL
NOVEMBER Z, 1879.
My Dear Colonel: Your note has
been received. I do not occupy the
position of o political candidate to
express any opinions. I anna soldi-
er in the Federal service, and my
usefulness as such aud commander
would be impaired if should take
open grounds in favor of the politi-
cal views of any party. IfI am ever
a candidate of a.party for civil Office,
it will be on o record I have made.
l should never make any bid for such
Office. If I were nominated by the
party, I would be governed by its
platform or I would NOT accept the
nomination. Therefore I shall pur-
sue the even tenor Of my way, un-
disturbed by ambitions which pur-
sue some people. I am very truly
yours, w. s. HANCOCK.
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1880-10-29

TO vote for you. Some will doubt
less do so, but probably no one who
examines your record.
Fellow citizens, are we prepared
to re-elect this man to office, to con-
tinue to plunder US by his rascality
or incompetency? (He must plead
guilty to one OF the other.) Or shall
he be retired for while from "active
service" until we can sec to what
extent he has despoiled US. In view
of the fact that the county is already
the losser to the amount of thousands
OF dollars, and "the end is not yet, :"
we think the latter course advisable.
Some few of our fellow citizens
still hold to Mr.. Billings, for what
he has been. This, my friends, is a
dangerous experiment. n suicidal one.
The history of the world teaches US
that good men sometimes fall from
their "high estate" when involved
in financial difficulties and surround
ed by circumstances of great tempta-
ton, and how natural it would be
for man of Mr.. Billings proAieate
habits and Strengthened circun-
stances to catch at any "fy" held
out by a rich and powerful corpora
ton like the N. P. r. r. Co., espe-
cially if we'll baited with gold. But
these you will say are only surmises.
We have right to imagine that some
fearful state of affairs exists, when q
public servant refuses to let the pub
lie inspect documents pertaining to
the public interest, and that, too,
right on the eve of an election, at
which said public servant and those
whom he would shield are candi-
dates for reelection.
It seems to me that the duty of
every good citizen is plain. Go to
the polls and vote against corruption
in "high places" Arouse, fellow
citizens, march to the polls and
shake off this leech that has so long
been sucking the life. blood from our
county, or financial ruin stares US in
the face! "Thurston county expects
every man to do his duty"

tUn Duncan furnishes the Herald
two letters from General Hancock,
which he says were never before
shown anybody or published. The
first letter is dated October 20, 1879,
and is as follows:
My Dear Colonel: I received to,
day your favor of the 25th. 1 was
much interested in your resume of
the workings of the political cauld-
ron. 1 have always been of the
opinion, and am SO still, that until
the Democratic party has disposed
of the question as to whether they
would nominate Tilden as sequence
of past events, it was folly, in.
side of that organization, to advance
other candidates on their availabili-
ty, for the future was a question of
importance. I have no part in any
programme looking to the future.
Ny name may come up through
friends and foes. possibly, yet I
know of no machinery ia the inter-
est of my nomination. / seem in
public opinion to be put forth as an
exponent of certain political avoid.
able possibilities, and I would be
better pleased if allowed to pursue
the even tenor oftny way, untouched
by political excitement. I do not
wish to be considered q chronic can
didate, for l know what that means
when the end comes. So my friends
had better let the matter rest. or il,
not, let it drift. The next election
is to be a momentous one. What
may come of it, good op bad, do
not know, but I am certain ! can not
assist in leading to good result
more certain than by following the
quiet course have always endeav-
ored to pursue. If I come in ques-
ton in politics it will have to be
from the States and people, and not
from tne. lam very truly yours,
w. S. HANCOCK.
This, letter was marked Conf
dential.".
Dear Colonel: For some time
and myself have been talking
over a plan to elect General Han
COG President of the United States.
Our rplan is that you write to Gener-
al Hancock, and if he responds with
the right view on the financial and
labor questions, that we then decide
to call a National (Groenback) Con-
Sention, first nominate Hancock for
President and some ex-Confederate
fer Vice President, and it will force
the Democrats to meet and nominate
the same ticket. Your plan Of call
ing both the Democratic and Nation
al Convention the same day will
not work and will give large
amour of our party an excuse to

ey from his prisoner, and be seems
to glory in the fact.
But he has not denied that his
partner left him means to settle and
hush the matter up. He says 10
has paid several hundred dollars On
that " worthless Judgment" The
truth is, that since the compaign
commenced. he offered one hundred
dollars to his attorney, Mr.. Judson,
for the benefit of his (the prisoner's)
child. He evades the Penitentiary
matter by saying he left assessment
blanks to be filed oat, SO. The
law made it his duty to do this. and
If they were not returned, as also
required by the same law, il was his
duty to. make the assessment and
valuation in person. In trying to
explain this matter he only shows

FARM NOTES.

The farmers OF the Northwest have made
from SIC, ,O0O. 600 to $l0O,o00,000 by the raise
in the price of grain this season.
At recent potato show in England
where nearly 1,400 plates were. shown, II
large number were of American varieties.
The Prairie Farmer states that Holsten
cattle are continuing to attract more and
more attention in the West and the south.
Machines for slearins sheep aud milking
cows have not proved successful. These
processes are best performed by the old
fashioned way.
A writer truly says there is no need to 90
beyond the farm yards and stable to esti-
mate the condition of the tarm or to judge
OF the success of the owner.
The French farmers do not take kindly
to scientific agriculture, as the savants nll-
derstand the term. Ttey cultivate well,
and save in every possible item of cost.
A farmer cannot work his farm safely
without knowing all about his soil. Every
field should be studied as to the effects OF
certain methods with fertilizers upon it.
Here is rare specimen of the profits of
horticulture worth striving for. The orig
nator ofa new white outdoor grape, suiet
to our climate, is said to have sold the copy
| right of the same fer $4,000.
The local journals of Kansas. Nebraska
and other states report the prospects fol

some unforeseen accident happens the grow
