the e0vERNeRSHlP OF WASH, Nc.
tom TERRITORY.

The friends of the different aspi.
rants for this important position have
been for some time engaged in can
vassing the Territory and circulating
petitions, each in behalf OF his favor.
lite candidate.
A petition was circulated here in
Port Townsend for the appointment
of Judge Jacobs. Our neighbor Of
the "Press'', because neither he nor
any of his ilk were asked to sign it,
says: "the unprejudiced mind is
convinced there is job at the bot,
tom Of it." This sar-sighted indiyid.
ual's suspicious outrun his isjudgment
and good sense. Can he tell any in
telligent man how it could be job;
or what he means ?
Judge Jacobs has just as much
right to try and obtain the Governor.
ship Of Washington Territory as has
any other person of capacity and fit
ness-indeed, more right; for he has
ably, faithfully and conscientiously
served the people of this Territory
in more than one important capacity.
All that our contemporary says IN
favor of Governor Ferry, and more,
we agree to; but injuring character
never helped any ones cause. Judge
Jacobs and Governor Ferry stand on
their own merits, as devoted public
servants, and honest, true and tried
men. AS republicans, we feel that
they are an honor TO the party; as
patriot citizens, we rejoice to know
they both are loyal, upright men.
We believe, however, that justice to
faithful public servant and regard
for the best interests Of the Territory
demand the re.appointment of e. r.
Ferry as Governor of this Territory.
We believe, too, that large MAORI
ty of our best citizens, regardless OF
party, sect or section, feel not only
that it is his due, but that it would
be an injury to the material interests
of the Territory to make any change.
There are many reasons for this
sentiment. Governor Ferry's man.
agement OF the Indian problem with
in our border has averted Indian
war with all its attendant horrors,
called forth the communication Of
the authorities at Washington and
received the hearty approval of the
settlers interested aud the people Of
the Territory. AS an upright, moral
man, he commands the respect OF all;
and his untiring, unselfish devotion
to the best interests of the Territory
is universally admitted. The
President can do no act which will
meet hsartier commendation from ell
our citizens and tend more to ad
vance and strengthen our best inter
ests and material prosperity than to
re.appoint E. P. Ferry as Governor
Of Washington Territory.

firm has been succeeded by Mr.. S.
w. Levy. We are not Informed as
to Mr.. Rothschild's intention in re-
gard to. business, but we hope he
may find it profitable to remain in
Port Townsend. He has long been
identified with our best interests as
one of our most enterprising and
public spirited citizens. Libesal and
generous to fault, be has ever been
foremost in everything that promised
public good. We cannot speak as
yet for the new candidate for busi-

CUR WASKINGTQE LETTER.


WASHINGTON. ID. c., Dec. 26. 1879.
The rivals of General Garfield for
the Senatorsf,ip in Ohio, are guilty
Of some Inconsistencies that are
lavghable, They urge against his
being promoted for two reasons.
First that lie is a free trader, and
second that he cannot be spared
from the House. Now the first pro.
position is extreme; General Garfield
while not claiming to be a protec.
zionist of the prohibiting class like
Judge Kelly, is a consistent friend
TO American industries and has done
as much as any other man to protect
them. His speeches on this subject
are among the sbest ever delivered
in or out of Congress, and of late
years he has been most conspicuous
in his efforts to defeat all assaults
up on the called American system.
But it is curious that the sumo per-
sons who find fault with General
Garfield on this point think he can,
not be spared from the House. If
he is objectionable in the Senate, is
not he equally so in the House :?
And by parity of reasoning if he is
SO valuable in the House, he is need
ed in the Senate where the Republi-
cans are just now placing all their
leading men
Some friends of the Nicaragua
Canal some time ago reported that
Captain Eads had abandoned his
scheme for marine railway across
the lsthmus in consideration of Gen.
eral Grants friendship for the canal
scheme, and his friendship for Gen.
eral Grant. This is not the fact.
Captain Eads is too much of scien.
tiic man to give up plan that has
been worked out by careful study.
He has just returned from Europe,
where he has been to examine the
subject Of similar works, and says
he comes back more than ever of the
belief that the canal is impraotic-
able, aud that the railway is the win,
ming enterprise. He says the larg.
est vessels may be safely moved on
a track constructed for that purpose;
that such a railway can be construct
ed for very small part of the cost
of a canal; and that it would not re
quire one eighth of the time to con
structlit. Captain Eads is the ablest.
engineer in this country, and his
plan will receive great attention. w
The ability and adroitness with
which Senator Blaine has conducted
the campaign against fraud in Maine
merits the plaudits Of all, 1t is
likely after all that he will find a way
to beat the rascally Greepbaek Demo
ocratic combination there after all,
The Senator will be welcomed back
to the Senate warmly, after his ad.
mirahle double campaign against the
conspirators who hoped to steal the
Presidency through tho in:quity in
Maine. a
The Christmas holidays are cele.
brated universally here this year
and public and private business is

TIE INDIAN QUESTION.

General Sherman recently gave
utterance TO few very pointed and
emphatic remarks upon the Indian
problem, in the course Of speech at
New York. The action Of those
particularly rebelIious, naughty and
brutal Utes was the subject especial
ly under consideration. The gen
eral said:
ave all pity the poor Indian. !
know my friend, DR.. Storrs, takes a
humanitarian view of the case. We
have converssd about it tonight |
pity the poor Indian, [applausel but
the continent has got to be settled.
The supreme command of God has
been pronounced: "Go forth and
multiply and replenisb the earth
I Applause. You have come from
Massachusetts to New York; the
people of New York have gone to
Pennsylvania: from Pennsylvania
they have gone to Ohio. Why,
there are now more Yankees there
than in Massachusetts, and SO people
have spread to the West and South.
You find Yankees everywhere, obey
ing the divine command. Indians
are entitled to our humanity and
consideration. | admit that fact,
applause but at the same time they
must get out Of the way. Loud APP.
plause. will merely point out to
you the steps which have been taken
with these Utes. We have been ne
gotiating and negotiating and nego
tiating for weeks. They have been
ordered to deliver up twelve Indian
murderers, and they won't do it.
Are we to sit down like parcel of
fools and let these Indians treat us
so ? Loud applause and cries OF
No, MOL 1 am not going to tell
you what we are going to do, but
these Indians must submit and de-
liver up these murderers or take the
consequences. Applause and cries
of Good Y 'Good!] If that be in
humanity, then don't understand
what humanity is. lfthey can go aud
kill our agents and shoot women and
brainr children, and we sit by un
moved, then we are pitiable indeed.
Loud applause. LIDO not think
that will be the result. We may go
on for six weeks or more, until the
snow disappears, for there IL is from
16 to LIZ feet deep; but just as sure
as the snow will pass away those In
dians must take their place among
the nation or disappear from the face
of the EARTH" loud applause. r.
We can but hope that the sturdy
old Generals views, thus expressed,
ars the echoes of the policy to be
followed by the Indian bureau.
These words are from a man Of ma.
ture judgment, who has had years OF
practical experience with the sub,
ject upon which he speaks, and he
proves himself to be entirely free
from too prevalent sentimentality
that counsels unlimited tenderness
and mercy in dealing with the say
ages. He speaks right to the point,
and, if subsequent action takes the
the same course, we may hope for
fewer demoniac crimes by red iends
in the future. The awful outrages
perpetrated upon the persons Of Mrs.
Meeker and other female captives,
who were taken by the Utes at the
time of the Meeker murder, are
enough alone to justify white people
for rising in their might and wiping
the perpetrators of such horrible
deeds from the face Of the earth.
