49, O.S>e<sAe>AS~~S
For the past year the business men OF
Seattle have been contemplating some
organization for the better protection
of their general interests. but the mat
ter never assumed a tangible shape till
last evening, whsn about twenty-five
leading citizens and business men met
ct the Office Of Mcclure d Taylor, and
proceeded to organize
THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE OF THE CrTr
OF SEATTLE.
Judge Lewis was chosen Chairman OF
the meeting and Judge Burke Secretary.
A constitution and bylaws which had
been prepared by COMMITTEES were then
read aud considered by sections, and
finally adopted, after which they were
signed by the following gentlemen: j.
Il. Lewis, H. L. Yesier. U. Jacobs. John
Lsary, A. Macintosh, Alfred Snyder,
Geo. w. Harris, 4. g. Miles, James
Campbell, S. G. Woodruff, G. +. Stone,
John j. Post, John Collins. II. q. Strive.
h. b. Bagley, F. W, Wusthoff, 5. Frau
enthal, W. A. Jennings. Samuel ksnney,
Thomas Burke, w. II. Taylor. T.. Z.
Haines, Bailey Gatzert.
The following officers We're chosen by
ballot: J. Il. Lewis, president; Ii. Cat
zsrt. vice-prssident; G. Z. Stone. re-
cordin2 secretary; Thomas Burke, cor
responding secretary: George ". har-
rs. treasurer.
After the organization was perman-
entity effected, and officers elected, the
following resolutions were unanimously
passed:
WHEREAS, The contract for carrying
tho mail between Port Townsend and
S,tka has been awarded to James p.
Ludlow, Of this city, and
WHEsEAs, The Board Of Trade Of the
city of Portland has adopted resolutions
calling in question the ability OF Mr.
Ludlow to carry out said contract, now
therefore be it
Resoired, By the Committee of Com
merce of the city of Seattle, that We
here protest against the extraordinary
action of the Board of Trade of Portland
as an unwarrantabls intcrmsddling with
matter which in no wise concerns it:
and be it further
Rssoirsd, That upon the most careful
inquiry and investigation on the part of
the Chamber OF Commerce Of the city Of
Seattle, it is clear that the contractor,
James +. Ludlow, is ready and able to
provide the most ample facilities, III the
way of safe and suitable steamboats,,
for the transportation Of said mail, in
accordance with the requirements of
his contract.
A motion was made and carried to
transmit BY telegraph to tho Postmaster
General copy of the above resolutions,
and that a telegram be sent to our Del
egats, Hon. Thos. II. Brents, calling his
attention to the resolutions and request
ing his assistance and cooperation in
presenting the matter to the Postmaster
General.

How the Dnshing CaVaIryman
Turned the Tide of Battle nt Ce-
dar Creek.
W. F. MackaY in the Philadelphia Week
ly Times.
In a very short time everything and ev-
erybody was in confusion, each one ask
ing of the other what it was ali about.
Cavalry calls we're heard in every direc.
ton, while the long roll OF the infantry
on our left was plainly audible. Il was,
indeed, a most complete surprise to every
one, particularly to the infantry camps on
the extreme front, many of the men being
shot or baYoneted in their beds. No one
thought General Early any nearer than
StauntOn at least. Saddles were hastily
packed and horses led into line awaiting
the order TO mount, while those of our
men who hal made such elaborate prepsr-
atoms for spending the winter at this camp
showed their disgust and disappointment
by savage gro Els ahd language, which is
not found IN any book Of a pious nature.
AS the fog slowly lifted, there began a
rush, scramble, stampede, or by whatever
name it may be called. They passed us
on the run, siDgly and ia squads, many
with only their underclothing on, others
partly dressed, while very few carried
their muskets. Surprise and fear seemed
to have monopolized all their faculties
Their one thought was 20 get TO the rear
and get there quickly. As daylight in
creased the firing became louder and the
flash of artillery added 10 the general con-
fusion. Most Of the fugitives belonged
TO The Eighth Corps, and amid The excited
and panic-stucken crowd their officers
vaiDly begged, threatened and command
ed ;hem 10 halt and form. Appeals were
In valni every man seemed intent upon &C.

sure our army would 90 either captured
or cut i1 pieces, that Sheridan himself an
peared on the field. Mounted on a large
black horse, he came on a gsllcp with bic

THE past.

Editor Argus:
La my last l referred to the fact
that the Free Sellers, Abolitionists
and Whiga united on General Ere
mont and gave him the votes Of slsv-
en- Of the free States and not one Of
the slaves States. Mr.. Buchanan,
who vas the choice of tho slave
States with the aid Of Pennsylvania,
New Jersey Indiana and Illinois, was
elected and took his seat on the 4th
Of March,, 1857, and anything but
harm ony prevailed at Washington,
or IN the country, dnring his Admin
istration. The anti-slavsry party
"cut a stick with their old Wing
allies aud set up for themselves.
There were, however, two wings Of
he Free Soil Party. One recognized
slavery where it then existed with
all ito constitutional rights. but op..
posed its introduction in the Terrific.
iies, or new States that might there
after be formed; the other, the John
Brown wing, favored wipiog it out
wherever found, disregarding all
vested rights or human constitutions
or laws-a little after the Guiteau
order Of business.
In this divided and excited coudi-
tios Of public sentiment.o on the sub
jeot Of slavery Browns raid on V,r-
ginia and it's results had much to do
in Che organization Of the political
campaign Of 1860 and what followed
in train. 1t was said by some, after
his failure, that Brown wac crazy.
Not 30; his conduct vas that Of a
bold, cruel and un%reIentiog Rsvolu-
Uouist, whose thirst for plumber bur-
ued him into his work with a rash
meas that might be mistook for fsnat-
icism or insanity.

Ir is perhape fortunate, says the
New York Sun, that the AMMEN
Nicaragua ship canal and the EADs
IehuantePsc ship railway are stimuli
tanetusly before Congress for subsi-
dies, since the expert engineers in
terested in each project can fully
explain for public e~jiication the
weaknesses of the other. The canal
people point out the dangers Of guar.
anteeing six per cent. interest on
S5O,000,0 900 for fifteen years, to &C
commodete Captain EADs, while the
railway people do the same service
for the proposition to have the Mic
aragua canal project subsidized by
Congress. There has lately been a
rumor OF a withdrawal Of some Of
those interested in the canal, in be-
half Of the railway. But there IL it,
tie danger in the combination, as we
have on record the criticism which
each scheme has made upon the other;
and the conclusion is strong that
neither should be subsidized. and
that both should take their chances
as commercial enterprises.

more beneficial. or enduring monu-

The Times says: The sdmi1isfra-

trial has been a kind Of play. enact
ed for general amusement. That
GUITEAU deserves hanging, meme can
doubt. That the Nation has a right
to hang him-which has turned the
suferings Of his victim into food for
a sensation, his crime into a est, and
the trial into a prolonged farce-is,
perhaps, less entirely self evident"

WE have devoted considerable
space in this issue Of The ARGUS 10
tho closing scenes in the GUIrEAU
trial. AZ We expected and predict
ed, the jury promptly convicted the
prisoner; and as we expected and
predicted, his council now raise the
question of jurisdiction. That there
is cause for grave doubts upon this
subject tho following case will show:
A man named BLADEN was indicted
In this same Court Tor granddaughter,
The mortal blow was inflicted at AL
exandria, then within the limits Of
the District. The victim died in
the State of Maryland. after q ger
dict Gf guilty the prisoner was dis
charged. The Court, Of which WIN.
CRANcH was then Chief Judge, held,
in the language of the official re-
port, that az the death happened in
st. Msry's County, in the State of
Maryland, although the fatal stroke
was given here, the judgment must
b. Tor the prisoner, the offense not
being complete within our jurisdic-
ton
1t is believed that the decision Of
the Court in the case referred to was
in strict accordance with the laws OF
the District, and that no statutes
since enacted have made any change
therein.
There is nothing in the reported
language of Judge CoxLo indicate
that be sought to justify hisdisregard
Of the rule in the BLADEN case by
reference to the authority Of any
statute. He seems to have felt at
liberty to consider the question ir-
respective Of that decision. He ev.
pressed his conviction that "the En-
glish authority was decidedly in ia
vor Of jurisdiction where the blow had
taken place, and that in this coun-
try there was a strong array of ~
thority in the came direction" But
why a singls Judge should thus
practically override a prior decision
Of a full bench on the precise point
Of law before him is not sufficiently
plain.
Unless by consultation with the
other Judges Of the Court it has been
determined toreverss the rule in the
BLADEN case, the fate Of GUITEAU ia
by no means cartain.

IT is said that every nan in the

d;cted to the use Of Intoxicating liz
uor, no matter whether he gets
drunk or not, is to be discharged.
The rule applies to ticket agents and
operators as well as to track men,
s%witchmen and tram hands. If it
should be further extended so as to
include the directors and officials az
well as the employees it would be as
near perfection as could be expected

managers are often like physicians,

Prophet DO Voc on February.
The New Jersey weather prophet
A. j. De Voc predicts as follows fer
this month:
February will be a month long to be re-
membered IN account of its frequent and
heavy snow storms and sudden falls in
temperature. More snow will fall during
that month for this section than has fall
len for the past two years combined. 1t
will enter warm and slushy till the 9th,
when it will change suddenly. Snow
storms will occur about the 9th, 9Th, 10th,
18th, 23d, and 9th. Rain will fall on the
81, 18th, 18th, oath. The average tenn
perature will be lower than during the
previous month. The winds will be very
high from north west, shifting suddenly
TO northeast. The ladies would do well
TO take q few inches off of the rims of
their hats, or they will need an extra pair
OF hands. Parties having goods TO ship
West should hurry taem off before the
snow blockades set in. Rubber boots will
be in demand. There will not be much
skating, on account OF frequent storms.
Shows will increase in the Ohio Valley,
and the heavy rains will move To- the
South Atlantic States, and the temperature
in that section will be unusually high and
the prevailing winds will be from south
east. In the e ,stern States the prevail
ing winds will ne from the north, with
very cold weather and heavy SHOWS.
Ia Canada the weather will be very SC
we're, and the temperature will be lower
than it has been for many years, and rail
road traffic will be nearly suspended. The
coal dealers should hasten the Transports
ton of coal withOt delay.
All heavy gales will be preceded As
hours by northern lights, and if the
bright rays drift from east to west, the
gale will he northeast; but if they drift
from west to east the gale will be from
northwest. The weather will be unusual.
ly stormy throughout the country, except
in Colorado, where it will be very cold
The temperature will be unusually high il
the Gulf States, with heavy south winds
The following short rules may be o.
value to many it they will observe them
First. when the wind shifts from west t.
north and from north to east, it will rail-
in less than 49 hours, no matter how COLI
it may be. Second, when the wind shift
from west to south and from south to east
there will be a snow storm, aud although
it may be warm, the temperature will sud
denly fall. A. j. DE Voc,
