THE distress In Ireland Is rapidly in
creasing. A Jan. 18th dispatch says all
accounts agree that the situation in dis
tressed districts is becoming extremely
critical. A Cork correspondent states
that sixty ablebodied men with their, lam
lilies, were yesterday admitted to the Kill
larney workhouse. A woman applied for
admission OIL Tuesday with her children,
one of whom was dead IN her arms from
hunger and exposure, the woman having

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON. d. c., Jan. 9th. 1880.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 9th. 1880.
The interest of Agriculture and Com
merce will be looked after this winter,
and 1t is likely that some progress will be
made in placing them more directly under
government inspection and regulation.
The growing importance Of agriculture
In particular demands attention.
Senator Window accordingly intro
duced in the Senate q resolution calling
upon q committee to investigate and re-
port upon tile practibillty of establishing
a department OF agriculture and COM
merce, whose head shall be q cabinet Off
Ger, and gave notice that he will shortly
make speech on the subject. Senator
Dayis Of West Va. said that he had also
been contemplating the same subject, and
Others showed that they took m interest
In It. Senator Window developed his
plan partly several month ago. and he has
given the subject good deal of thought.
The subject OF deficiency bill to pay
the United States Marshals tor services
rendered in 1879 has been referred to
House committee and 1t looks now as
though the Democrats would not ''starve
them out" on that subject, although there
is anticipated fight on the new bill pro-
viding for their future pay. Many Dem
ocrats are spelling fora fight aud they can
have all they want in that line.
General Garfield returned from Ohio
yesterday and was congratulated almost
universally on his nomination for Sena-
tor. He will take leading place where
ever he may be chosen to serve the coun-
try.
It Is said that the Democrats have weak
ened considerably In their purpose to nm

CATION from that State for use In case the
election Of President should 60 TO Con-
gress. A contested case that the Demo-
Gratis drop must be bad indeed.
The Board OF Indian Commissioners
met here yesterday and continued their
session to-day. Many members OF differ
ent religious societies meet with them and
they viii discuss the Indian problem from
a more charitable standpoint. They will
however have little Influence 1t Is believed
in staying the hand which is reaching out

PORT TOWNSEND, w. T.. THURSDAY. JANUARY %. $780,

Our FINANoEs.-We take the fol.
lowing from the report OF Hon. r. NJ.
Reed, Territorial Auditor, for 1879:
at is indeed very gratifying to be
able to report unmistakable evidences
of the general prosperity Of our Ter.
ritory. Our Tast resources, so long
lying dormant, are in a measure just
beginning to attract the attention OF
the outside world; our numbering,
agricultural, fishing and mineral in.
terssts as whole, and the healthful
climatic features of our country have
no superior on the continent Dur.
ing tho past two years the growth in
population, the increase in values Of
real and personal property, the open
ing up Of new branches of industry
through which which the native
wealth and varied rich resources Of
the Territory are beginning to be
developed, have bean marked and
prominent. This is the more note
worthy as occurring during period
in whichlgrsat financial depressions
have been prevalent in many por,
tions OF our country and which more
or less affected the producing and
mechanical industries of our Terri.
tory. The Territory is entirely free
from debt, and during the last quar-.
ter not one dollar of interest was
disbursed from its Treasury, and at
this time the total amount Of the out
standing interest due the unpaid will
not exceed the sum Of twenty FIVE
dollars. By the exercise Of prudence
and wise discretion in the appropria.
tions, and economy in expenditures,
with such needed corrections, by
legislative enactment, of some i'm.
portant errors and abuses in our
present system Of revenue laws re.
ferred to in this report, it is conf.
dently believed that reduction in
the rate of taxation for Territorial
purposes can safely be made to a
maximum, say not exceeding three
mills on the dollar, which doubtless
Will raise sufficient revenue to meet
all the current expenses OF, the Ter.
ritorial government and avoid the
necessity Of paying one dollars in
tsrest after the first day Of January,

soon to receive in a final settlement for the

100000 in bonds represent as much as the

Boston Traveller: The Massachusetts,
boom for Edmunds recalls the movement
for Bristow four years ago, engineered by
the same men. The country knows what
became Of the Bristog boom. 1t might not
be just to say that Massachusetts killed it,
because it never had much real strength,
but the manner in which some of the Mas
sachusetts delegates supported him weak
ened Mr.. Bristow in the convention. A
repetition at Chicago of the scenes at Gin
cinnati is probable. If Senator Edmunds
had Presidential aspirations, he would pray
to be delivered from such support as this
State gave Gen. Bristow AID promises to
give him,

dollars awaiting him in New York for the

New YORK Post: The number of journ-
alists returned for Parliament at the late
English elections is without precedent.
Perhaps when constituencies in the United
States get tired of the continual excess of
legislation which is one of the consequences
of filling their public assemblies with an un-
due preponderance of lawyers, they may fol-
low the judicious and appreciative English
example. We do not often commend with
out reserve transatlantic precedents, but in
this case we feel bound altogether to eschew
qualification. Possibly all the journalists
sent into the House of Commons are not ex-
actly the journalists we might have pre-
ferred for that honor; but it is fine thing
to have sent SO many journalists into Par
lament at all, and we trust the result will
do honor to the public choice and to the
profession thus represented.

meeting held in Chicago last week was a
pretty loud signal of distress. The friends
of the Maine Senator are working energet-
ically, and express confidence in their ability
to control the State Convention, or at least
prevent instructions and divide the delega-
ton. Disinterested observers take the same
view. Unless there is an unexpected change
in the political current within the next few
weeks the third-term business may receive
its death-blow in Illinois on the 10Th of May.

The situation in Illinois is thus summed
up by the New York Tribune The fight for
the control of the Illinois delegation becomes
more earnest every day. Owes four weeks
still remain before the Convention meets,
and the friends of Grant and Blaine are pre-
pairing to make the best use of the interven-
ing time. AT present Blaine is undeniably
ahead, having nearly twice as many dele
gates instructed for him as there are for
Grant. The failure of the third-termers to
capture the Sangamon County Convention
will discourage them more than any event
that has occurred TINS far. That county was
considered safe for solid Grant delegation !;

from Germany, who brings me letter from

Heine will not admit Germans to see me- She
knows them at glance" and he ran back into
the next room.
