EDITOR ARGUS:

EDITOR ARGUS:
DEAR SIR:-I have inquired into this
independent political move that is taking
place in Jefferson county, and | would
here state for the benefit of the voters of
said county that it is only sorehead
move started by one man who fixed him
self for the Republican primaries at Port
Townsend with the intention OF carrying
everything before him, and il he had
succeeded he would have been the boss,
the great am; but upon the vote being
taken and counted for the delegates to
the convention, he found to his own dis
gust that he had estimated himself too
high ard that he had no influence, and
consequently was the sorehead the ARGUS
referred to as being abroad in the land.
| am satisfied that the late republican
convention held at Port Townsend was
the most harmonious convention have
ever attended; nearly. everything was
harmonious and everyone seems to be
we'll satisfied with the action of the dele
gates, which find to be the facts in the
matter. believe this move is partially
made to injure the Hon. Chas. NJ. Brad
shaw, the regular nominee on the repub-
lican ticket for Prosecuting Attorney for
the Third judicial District-the true
and the tried-by endeavoring to get
the voters within the said district to be-
lieye that there is great discord in JET
ferson county in the republican party, 30
that some one may be induced to run in
dependent for the position OF prosecut-
ing attorney against Mr.. Bradshaw; but
whoever thinks OF running independent
will Go well to read the independent
mans circular and petition that is scat
tered broadcast over the land, and he
will find that it is signed by ten persons,
a majority of whom are democrats, going
plainly to show that there is no discord
in the republican party in Jefferson
county This same party (one-man par
ty) two years ago endeavored to whip the
delegates into the traces, trying to pass
resolutions that no democrat should be
placed on the republican ticket; and
today he asks the democrats as well as
republicans to meet with him in conven-
ton at Port Townsend to nominate a
ticket. L would respectfully warn all
republicans to beware OF this one-man
marty Independent moye-the would-be
b So. Yours, etc., RIP.

second assistant postmaster general will
show decided increase in the mileage

as compared with that ended June 30

The report will show that notwithstand.
ing this increase of mileage the cost of
maintaining the service is less than 1880

timated that the Star Route service for

v;ssels, having an aggregate tonnage
of 27,63S tons. There are at the pres
ent time twenty-one vessels in course
OF construction, five of which are Of
20oO tons and upward. The indica-
tons that the total tonnage for
the year 1882 will reach $4,000 tons,
as co up red with 36,334 tons built in
that district in 1881. A large part of
this ton a. e is intended to be used in
local tracing. The fact, however,
that our ship builders are called upon
to build wooden vessels of the largest
tonnage 'o' foreign trading would
seem to prove that all faith had not
been lost in this class of vessels.
Many believe the wooden vessel to be
equally as serviceable as the iron
one, especially so for long voyages.
In view of this it would be well for
the wooden ship builders of this
country to consider whether the re-
peal of our burdensome shipping
laws would not benefit them. 1t has
not yet been proved that iron is the
best material for vessel construction
and as long as there exists doubt on
this point, everything else being
equal, their chances for a market for
their vessels would appear to be as
good as those of the ship builders Of
other at present more favored coun
tries.

Allow me to say to Rep" that those
who signed the call for independent con-
vention, consider him or any other per-
son who will screen himself behind an
assumed name to malign their motives,
as unworthy of belief or notice. That
the genuine signatures Of five republicans
three independents and two democrats
to the call is the best evidence that it is
no zone man" affair, but the voice OK

The Cabbag 0 Worm.

AS this is a question of very general
interest, we clip the following from the
Fruit Recorder: 1t seems as if either
pyrethrum or the bisulphide of carbon
would ultimately solve the cabbage
problem. My experiments with pyre-
thrum on cabbage plants was much
more satisfactory. The cabbage worms
had come and, it seemed, would soon
destroy all the plants, when l added
one to two tablespoons of pyrethrum to
a gallon of water, and thoroughly
washed the plants, especially the tender
leaves just forming the heads, once
every week or ten days, and soon only a
few worms could be found on them,
while on some turrip plants near by the
leaves were entirely destroyed. Doubt
less, had had rose or syringe to ap
ply the wash, it would have been better.
| did not wash the larger outside leaves.
and grasshoppers eat them all except
the coarse stems, leaving the tender
heads unmolested. So l conclude the
powder is obnoxious to them also.

A Captured Short Quart.

Coming down the street this morn.
ing our attention was called to a short
strawberry quart hung on an awning
post, 1t had been left with a crate Of
strawberries to be sold at stall that
was occupied. Taking possession of
the quart we took it along and tested
it with dry sand and lawful half peck
measure. We filled the quart four
times and emptied into the half peck.
This should have filled it but 1t did
not. There was still room for nearly
another quart. 1t was filled again and
emptied when it rounded little in the
half peck. This was gain of nearly a
quart in four quarts, or twenty-five per
cent. over the profits of honest meas
ures. The captured quart is marked
with the initial "F" and is still at the
REPUBLICAN office where the owner
can get it by applying in person. He
can get his measure and an admonition
to get it exchanged for an honest quart
at the same.

F0URTFEDITION
Infected Cattle.

A dispatch from Washington says
The Governor of Maryland having re-
Gently annor need that there was nc
pleuro.pneu nonia among the cattle in
the State and reports being made to the
National Cattle Commission TO the ef.
feet that the disease did prevail in Bal
timore county, Messrs. Saunders, Sage
and Thayer, of the commission, went to
Baltimore two days ago to investigate
the matter. They have returned and
report very dangerous condition of
things.
A case of acute pleuro pneumonia was
found in the Baltimore stock yards. 1t
was traced to a farm north of the city,
In Baltimore county, and it was learned
that recently niLe cattle were taken
from it and driven over the highway
to the city and turned into the stock
yards, where thousands of cattle were
liable to the contagion. Worse than
all it was learned that a bull calf, q
Cross between Devon and Ayershire,
had been taken from the herd and
shipped to Chicago for some Western
breeder. 1t Is. barely possible he might
not be infected with disease, but Mr..
Saunders says that there are a thous.
and chances to one that he is. The
Commissioners are extremely anxious
about it, as this bill may do damage
that will cost millions to repair unless
he can be found. One COW brought the
disease to Long Island. A single bull
took it to Australia, which resulted in
the infection of all the cattle of that
continent. One of the Commissioners
in Baltimore to learn as nea-.
ly as possible where this infected calf
went, and Mr.. Saunders will start for
Chicago at once to institute search
for him.

The Fentan ke are I'm Eng Ian Il.

A special despatch from London says:
"The government and the English
press are evidently on the eve OF one OF
their chronic panics about Fenianism.
False alarms are the order of the day.
Extraordinary precautions have been
adopted at the arsenals and forts against
imaginary attacks, Whether this is
due to real conviction of danger or
merely to a political dodge it is irnpos.
sibe to say. Among the Irish mem
bers the cumors of an intended rising
in ireland are regarded as utterly un.
founded The government, however,
seems convinced that preparations for
armed resistance are actually in pro-
gress. Mr.. G. O. Trevelyan, in the
House of Commons to-day, stated in a
most solemn and mysterious manner
that every day brought forward fresh
reasons to regard the present position OF
the country, not with fear, but with
the deepest and increasing anxiety.
This is accepted by the members as
confirmation of the alarming rumors
which have been circulated for some
days by the London press. 1t is, how
ever, quite possible that Mr.. 1revelyan,
is merely retailing the sensational
statements furnished him by the Dub
lin Castle authorities with a view to
alarming English opinion and prevent
ing concession on the Crime Prevention

DIsGRACEFUL OCCURRENCE.
A COwardly Man Strikes Young
WOmAn-Her or Condition Critical.

One ofthe most disgraceful and heart
rending scenes that has occurred In this
vicinity for some time, occurred yaster.
day, on the steamer John A. Warner,
while on her return trip to this city,
with the Knights of St. Patricks Bene.
fetal Association, which had been to
Sea Breeze to spend the day. The
assault was made on a young woman
by a cowardly man, and happened in
this way, as given to REPUBLICAN
reporter by those who witnessed it I.
While the boat was homeward bound,
the eXcursionists were willing away
the hours In dancing to the music of
Worth's orchestra.
A set had been completed and anoth-
er ono about to form when young
man named George Graham, desiring
to participate in the dance, approached
Miss Katie Millbnrne, who was sitting
near by, and asked her to dance with
him. she however, politely declined,
as she did not dance much and was not
feeling extra well, and he left, but be-
ing unsuccesst ul in securing partner
elsewhere, he returned to her and re.
newed the request but was again met
with a refusal.
The man Graham then used some in
sulting language toward her, and at the
same time grasped her by the hair,
raised her from the chair and struck
her Cn the side of the head near the
temple. The blow was given with such
force that the young woman was
stunned and fell to the floor uncon-
scious and when picked up by her lady
friends was gasping for breath.
Graham, the rutiian who struck the
girl, stood looking dehantly at her and
remarked that he would strike her again
and swore vengeance on any one who
offered to interfere.
The injured lady was conveyed to
state room and efforts made TO restore
her to consciousness, but without sue
cess and she lay in catamOse state un.
til the boat arrived in this city, when
she was taken to her home, corner of
Seventh and Market streets, over Heald
u Company's office. DIR. Harlan was
called in and upon examination found
that concussion Of the brain had been
though no fracture of the
skull could be discovered Every eff
fort was made to revive the patient,
but up to this writing, 11.3O a. NJ she
was still lying in an unconscious state.
The victim of this brutal assault is
young lady about 90 years of age, the
eldest daughter of b. +. Milburne,
shoe maker, who is suffering from par
alysis, and unable to work. He Is very |
much Frustrated by the condition of
his daughter wuo was the main sup
port Of him and his family, his wife
having died about two years ago.
George Graham, the man who struck
the blow, resides on Church street be-
tween Fifth and 9th and is considered
a rough customer. The men on the
boat permitted hin to make his escape
and thus far he has eluded arrest. 1t is
TO be hoped that he will be taken into
custody and severely dealt with.
Those on the boat are to be blamed for
1ot at once laying hands on the villain
md contining him until the boat ar.
ived in this city.

The Views OF Some Of tho Police.

Yesterday three ladies, two of whom
are from Harrington, AMI one from this
city, went to New Castle and visited the
Jail. While they were there some police
officers arrived with several prisoners
from this city, and after they had
brought them into the Jail, one of the
officers told the prisoners that when
they got out to come back to Whining
ton, and he had no doubt but that they
could get all the whiskey they wanted.
and do pretty much as they pleased, as
he remarked that better men could be
found in the Jail than some OF those
that Mayor Wales was appointing on
his police force. The ladies are under
the impression that the officer was
measuring the standard OF the new
police by that of the old.
