The Presidential Election.

Although the result is not yet fully be-
fore the public so much is known to give
great encouragement to the Republicans
The only hope Of the Democracy is that
the report CT New York State going
against them Is not as yet backed up by
facts Ii il should turn out that the re
publicans have gained the Presidency it
may be attributed IN great degree to the
"Solid South issue This was played by
the republicans for all it was worth. Af
ter the Bloody Shirt was folded, the
utterrances of men like Wade Hampton
and the expression Of many rabid South
ern newspapers gave them their opportuni-
ty again. 1t was the only issue that
could possibly save them and was natur-
ally adobted. BY their large majorities
1t is very evident that the North has not
yet that confidence in the South which it
should have, and their paramount objec-
ton was that the SOLID South" would
endeavor TO obtain by legislation what it
lost by the war Alter the Maine cleo
ton there was an intense feeling for Han
cock, and not until Grant, Conkling. Lo
gan and Cameron came to the rescue of
Garfield WAS there anv chance whatever
for hlm. The republicans pouring out
money like water and the whole machin-
cry of the government was subserved to
the success Of their return to power. Be
tween bad South and a man with poor
record the country has probably chosen
the lesser evil.

Tho County Election.

The spoils of office in Wala Walla
County are divided. The Democrats elect
the Sheriff, Assessor, Probate Judg dge.
Councilman snd Representatives accord
ing to returns now in. 1t is not likely
this will be materially altered. The Re
publicans elect the Prosecuting Attorney,
Auditor. County Commissioners, Surveyor
County Treasurer, School Superintendent
and perhaps Corcner and Sheep Commits
sioner. There was no opposition to the
Treasurer or Probate Judge. No two
votes were cast alike and some idea Of the
amount of scratching done may be form
Cd that the Judges of election, tellers and
clerks were from % 10 80 hours counting
less than 200 votes cast in each precinct
of this city. Take the newly elected men
together they are satisfactory generally
speaking to all parties. As democrat
there are some others We would have pre-
fsrred to have seen elected. but We &c
quiesce in the expressed VIII of the major
ity. Some who have been previously
tried are reelected by larger majorities
than ever before. There is no doubt but
that they will do their duties in the fu-
ture - in the past and the STATESMAN
extends its congratulations all around to
he successful and its sympathy to the de-
satcd.

Day After Election.

Ca Tuesday the rain poured incessently all
day. Saloons were closed and the citizens
of this town and Territory entered upon
their duties IN election matters. Ereryrhing
was quiet and orderly. Never since the ear
hest history OF Walla Walla was there ever
taken so much interest in an election, ami
scratching was the order OF the day: personal
friends voted for their friends. and a healthy
interest was felt on the issue The fight is
over ard We are glad. On Monday night
over 500 teams stayed in the city for the
purpose Of hearing the standard bearers OF
both parties speak. and the interested Of
both parties went home 10 dices. what they
had heard and 10 declare their preference ON
the morrow IN the ballot box. The bulletin
hoard Of the Walla Walla STATESMAN was
the great attraction OF the night, and the
sidewalk was ,hIOnged with eager enouirers
tIil the small hours OF the morning. the tele-
graph was kept busy and up 10 writing all
are quietly discussing the issues in friendly
manner.

LIFE OF BENNETT.
" Mr.. James Gorden Bennett has been
abroad most of the time for several years
in fact ever since the duel he did or
didn't fight with Mr.. May, who whipped
him in front of the Union Club House.
Many New Workers have doubtless forgot
ten some of the most interesting incidents
In Mr.. Benefits checkered career, and
would be pleased to know what sort of a
man owns and runs the New York Her
aid and Telegram for his own interest and
profit, debating to the people of this city
as though he were their sovereign, and
issuing orders and instructions to all par
ties as though he were the American Gar.
IL may interest them and the public to
krow that We have in press and nearly
ready for publication life of James Cor
don Bennett, from authentic sources.

Port Abuses .t Portland, Oregon.

Commenting editorial upon letter
written to the New York Herald by . ship
master, it has this to say:
"We print to-day an important COM
munication from an American shipmaster
reciting the ve1atious delays attending
the entrance to the port of Portland, Ore
gon, and the extraordinary port charges
to which he was recently subjected The
distance from the outer bar Of the Col
umbia river to Astoria is about Ia mile,,
and our correspon dent writes that he was
detained just IA days by the inefficiency
of the port authorities and the absence Of
any powerful steam tug from reaching his
dock. This complaint against the Port
land harbor authorities is not the first Of
the kind. In January 1872, similar re-
presentations were made by a shipmaster
in the London Shipping aud Mercantile
Gazette, alleging from his OWL experience
and observations that there was but one
steam tug of very little power to do the
whole work of towing vessels in from sea
over the bars, and citing three vessels d..
tanned for this cause, although having pi-
lots on board-one for ten days, another
for twenty eight days and the third for
thirty days
Our correspondents ship reached the
mouth of Columbia river and was board
ed by a pilot on the 9th Of last August,
a month in which the Portland Board of
Trade, in an official circular, state that
'the bar Is generally smooth and at full
tide there is always at least 80 feet Of
water on the bar As this ship after be-
ing iightened to 20 1-2 feet Of draught,
could not be towed over the oar by two
tugs, without the use of her own sails, it
appears that the nantica! public have been
misled by such statements. This infer
ence might be emphasized by the fact
that OH the 25th Of December, 1877, the
fine ship Nintus, drawing % l-2, feet was
lost, and the Pilgrim. drawing only 1912
feet, was reriou sly damaged by grounding
on the bar.
But the worst feature of the case, az
represented by our correspondent, is the
enormous towage and pilotage at thia
port, 'S692 for distance of IA miles, the
ship also using her own canvass and haw-
sers, and including round trip 81 ,OO9
The advertised charges. as published by
sanction Of the Portland Board of Trade,
are for IN and cut over the bar to Astor-
Ia up to twelve feet draught s. per foot,
for each additional foot SO, and up and
down from Astoria "a per foot, while the
'towage in and out over the bar to Astoria
is put down from S75 to 500 At these
rates the maximum charges in the present
case, ii would seem, should not have ex-
ceeded 1926, and under the peculiar cir
cumstances should have been less But
with the example of such shipmaster be-
fore them, shipowners will be slow to
send their vessels to Astoria until there is
a reform of the abuses from which he ap-
parently suffered and reduction Of port
charges, as also better supply Of steam
tugs for t0wage."

The smoke = Tuesdays battle has
cleared away and Upon careful survey We
find that the old democratic party Of Wal
Is Walla County has redeemed itself.
Two years ago owing 10 dissatisfaction IN
the Democratic ranks the Republicans
succeeded in electing almost their entire
ticket and this temporary success led them
and particularly the Chairman of the re
publican County Committee, p. b. John
son, to believe that the county was repub-
lican. Don't be mistaken Walla Walla
County is irrevocably, unmistakably and
uncompromisingly democratic. Two years
ago Brents majority was 40 Votes: to-
day it is only l30 votes, and with hun
dreds of Democrats voting for Brents II
clearly shows that there is no republican
majority here. Two years ago the Re
publicans elected their entire legislative tic
ket; today Walla Walla County elects, so
iarss heard from, democratic members to
that body This is glorious, We also
elected theSherif, Assessorand the remain
der was elected by doubtful majority
The COUNTY Commissioners and Auditor
were permitted to hold on account of
having the building of the Court House
in hand. But the STATESMAN is particul-
arly grati6ed that the "no fence law" was
totally defeated. The STATESMAN was
the only paper in the upper country op-
posed to that question and while all the
other papers were in favor of it and
made a manly fight, it pleases us to say
that the people always sustained the pos
ition the STATESMAN held on all public
questions The fence question was of
more vital Importance TO our people than
Ill other issues combined. Therefore We
rejoice that our views have been sustain
cd by an overwhelming majority. Our
labor for year past has borne good fruit
and We are satisfied.

There i no doubt but that NJ. Bcsnts

and Indiana dld it After the Maine
election the government officials 1t the
Sound we're very lukswErn and took -
little interest as possible in the canvass; I;
but streak of light dawned upon them
when the Hoosier State went republican,
and as last resource they threw them
selves body and soul into the Arms Of
Bren,s. and the result is that he Will re-
ceive as large . vote rs before. And
now we would ask the Union and many
citizens this aide Of the mountains what
they think now of wha: they Ase pleased
TO term the "clannishness" of the Sound
countryl 1t has heretofore been their
hobby that the Sound would elect man
from their side irrespective OF politics,
and no one from the east would have .
shadow of chance. The recent election
has proved different, and we most sin-
eerely hope that the people there Will no
more be charged with sectional feeling
If anywhere, it is east OF the mountains
that this feeling exists But where Is the
large majority Burke was going to re-
celye IN his own county, That Is what
troubles US Here the democracy worked
and fought for him as they certainly never
did for one of themselves, and the result
is that Brents' majority from 70 is largely
reduced. In one precinct in his own city
Burke has a majority over Brenta Had
the democrats on the Sound performed
equal service the result would have been
different. While we still think that Mr..
Burke would have been of more service
to the territory, We have nothing but the
best of feelings towards his more fortunate
opponent. and trust that he will do hii
best to retrieve his past errors in congresi
and make no more political speeches
which has been the STATEsMANs great oh,
lection to him. We are still in favor oi

part os the week and gave some very inter-
es.iag details anent the Nez Perces and Sioux
Indians Directly after the Nez Perce war
he was sent by the Ne,r Northioes into the
camp of the escaped Indians under White
Bird and wrote letters 70 that first-class news
paper which would have been credit to
correspondent of the New York Heraia SO
interesting were they. His translation OF
White Birds song after the Big Hole fight
where so many Of his people met their death
from the Indian vernscuiar into English was
a wonderful composition. Some OF his state
ments regarding the war was strange to Us
although we were through the whole OF It.
He saws that Looking Glass at the start
lad no wish TO fight and that after the
main band under Joseph had again crossed
the Salmon, he moved his camp into another
locality IN order TO be out Of the way O.
them, and also that he captured white
man and turned him loose in order to tell
the command where they were, and that
he did not want to fight. We have the pest
| az reasons for knowing that this white man
never made the report, and that company
! of soldiers and volunteers attacked Looking
! Glass in his camp and killed two or three of
