The King can DO no Wrong.

This principle seems to have been
very nearly varifed in our county s
experience with her Auditor. Mr..
Phillips had held the Office SO long
that he began to consider it be.
longed to him as matter of divine
right, and SO prevalent had become
this idea among his friends, that it
has really seemed like treason for any.
body to think, much less affirm.
that he could possibly err in his
official acts. This delusion might
have continued for an indefinite
period, had it not been that, like
Sardinapalus. flushed with victory,
he knew no law that would conflict
with his kingly judgment, as a pub
lie officer. AS means Of gather.
ing in few proffered shekels, he
accepted the Office of Secretary of
the Olympia and Chehalis Valley
Railroad Co., corporation whose
interests, in some respects, were OPP
posed to those of the county which
had retained him in officers SO long.
His led to inquiry, and it was hot
long before it was discovered that
Mr.. Phillips had literally verified
the adage that CA man cannot serve
two masters"
Common sense should control IN
deciding upon to the length of time an
officer should ill any public position.
In one like that of Auditor, where
long service makes his word law
with the County Commissioners, and
with whose deliberations and acts
he is necessarily intimately con-
nected, it seems that a frequent
change is desirable, unless a paragon
of virtue is deputed to perform
those duties. The rule Of the Au-
ditor becomes almost absolute of
the class of men generally elected as
Commissioners.
The heaviest fall is from a lofty
hight. The king once deposed,
there are few who will do him
reverence. Ii the reaction con-
times as steadily as it has set in, Mr..
Phillips will be as easily beaten as
any other man on the Ring ticket.

nest in the fact that in several of the
counties which have nominated Poo
pies tickets, Democrats are named
for the Legislature. II says:
The cause of this action is certainly
plain enough; AS should a Democratic
Legislature meet next Fail there might he
an opportunity To elect two Democratic
Senators. i'll advance To demand their
seats in Congress when this Territory be-
comes "A State
1t is scarcely probable that any
thought was bestowed upon the sub
ject by the people in the nominating
conventions, and if there had been
any intention to forestall the popu-
lar will in this respect, there certain
ly would nave been many present
who were qualified to show that the
plan would prove futile. The TunS-
cript certainly knows better, and is
only throwing dust into the eyes of
such victims as may be deluded by
its dosmatic utterances.
Section II of the Schedule of the
Stats of Washington provides for an
election, to be held Oh the Tuesday
next succeeding the sixth Monday af-
ter the admission of the State, at
which, among other State officers,
members of the Legislature shall be
elected. This Legislature, at its
first session, is authorized by anoth-
er section to provide for the election
of all officers whose selection is not
otherwise designated in the said
Constitution.
1t would be manifestly unjust for
a Legislative body selected under the
old regime, to assume powers and
discharge duties not contemplated
by the people wht II they were elect
ed; and the injustice, noe TO say alb
surdity of such, proceeding, is
more clearly shown, when we take
into consideration the fact that the
northern counties of Idaho, which
will probably be included within the
State limits. would be wholly unrep-
resented in such an election of Sen.
ators. The idea advanced of select
ing these important officers "in ad.
vance" is decidedly puerile.
1t seems improble that the corpor-
alton advocate should have made the
statement through ignorance. 1t is
more reasonable to suppose that
zeal, in this instance, has got the
better Of discretion, as it has on d.
vers other times in the history of
that journal.

Excessive Fees.

Neither MIR. Phillips nor his friends
have denied the accusation of DIR.
Lansdale OF an overcharge of fees
for recording a certain bill of sale.
The Auditor has endeavored to JUS
tify the amount exacted by institut-
ing fee of fifteen cents for L" index
ing, an item not enumerated in the
feebill, but even this added to all
the other allowances, does not make
up the full amount charged for re-
cording the instrument.
Since the matter has been brought
to the consideration of the public.
other parties have been counting the
folios of papers recorded by him,
and SO far, in nearly q dozen which
have been subjected to the test, not
one has been found with the charge
based upon a legal computation of
the fees allowed by law, and strange
to relate if that officer did not M
tend to make an overcharge, all fig
ure up total considerable less than
that claimed and received by the
Auditor. Those who have had deeds
recorded by Mr.. Phillips can very
readily satisfy themselves of the
truth of the matter by counting the
words and allowing twenty cents for
each folio 600 words) and ten cents
for fling. In addition to this, that
gentleman claims fifteen cents for
indexiDg, but as this not o specific
allowance, it is plain that it should
come under the same rate as is al.
lowed for the body of the instru-
ment. 1t may be that an OCCASION

OLYMPIA, WASHINGTON TER.
OLYMPIA. FRIDAY EVENING OCTOBER 20, 1852
The Candidates Compared.

Candid and Unpre JUDGED Opinion OF
their respective Merits.
The very able and manly letter of
acceptance, written by MIR. Burke
published in this issue of the STAND.
ARD. and the speech of Mr.. Brents,
in the Vancouver Convention, after
he had received its nomination, in
which he hoped he would never live
to take the oath of office as Dele
gate, and in the succeeding sen
tence promises to labor for the ad-
mission Of Washington as State
til The end Of his term, show the re-
lative capacity of the two men. The
one would reflect honor. upon our
Territory, and be fitting exponent
of those great interests which ap-
peal so strongly for national aid just
at the time when we are verging
upon statehood. and the other is
man who has been time and again,
weighed in the balance and found
wanting in all the important essen
tials for an Efficient advocate. If
the best of talent is desirable in one
who is named for Senator, who by
his own vote, that of his colleague,
and representation in the lower
branch of Congress, can command
respectful attention, how much more
necessary it is that one who does
not possess this mighty leverage,
should be able, by his own personal
talents, to win respectful hearing.
MIR. Burke presents the exact sit
uation of the contest so concisely
that it leaves but little for US to say
at this time. That he should be
elected, we believe to be the honest
conviction OF nine-tenths of the
people of the Territory; that he
would be, there can be no doubt, if
party trammels were sundered; that
he may be, in this year of popular
rending of the bonds of party, is
within the range of possibility.
In Mr.. j. G. McFadden, for Pros
ecuting Attorney, we have young
lawyer whose demonstrated ability
indicates that he will not bring dis
credit to his distinguished lineage.
He was born in the Territory, and is
to SOME extent a selfmade man. He
is modest and unassuming in deport-
ment, correct in his his habits OF
life, and is acknowledged TO possess
that strict integrity of character
which is the guiding star of success.
Mr.. Israel is a sbrewd lawyer, but
further than this we cannot vouch.
The old settlers of the district, and
especially the pioneer friends of the
honored Judge McFaddeh, will not
long hesitate in making choice.
"Cal" received the unanimous sup
port for the nomination of both the
Peoples and Democratic Conven-
tons.
Mr.. Hale, the Peoples nominee for
Councilman, is pioneer resident
and was member of Our first Terri
torial Legislature. His experience
and bent of mind specially fit him
for the duties of legislator. Mr..
Ward, his competitor, is gentle
man who has made fair success of
the grocery business. But itrequises
a different order of intellect to make
laws from that which serves to sell
sugar. He has never shown any spe-

Duty o. the Voter.

\ few simple rue, shonld govern
the voter in his Zee lDu Of candid
ates for o1iice
Adopting what has become tamii-
arv known as the Jachs0nian test
for office. We should first inquire, l.
lie noncs;: S.i:ct honesty in ali
the affairs of life IS OF such vital i'm
poitance, that 10 other qualification
will atone fer it. 4 man may be q
good fellow III the common ac-
ceptation of the term; he may be
liberal III all his dealings with Iii,
fellow man, and possessed If Il
high order of mental attainments
but unless bic integrity is above sus
picion, no shrewd business man
would en,rust him with the man
agement Of his monyed interests.
Is be capable? is another inquiry
of vital Importance. 4 candidate
may be apopular favorite, and strict
ly honest in all his dealings, and
still unfit for some, specific duties.
Experience and observation show
that nominating conventions are not
always controlled by good juds-
ment in this matter. Even when
candidates may be capable and are
the best fitted for the places for
which they are named, their success
is generally owing more to the pos
session of social qualities which
sway the feelings ,han that special
merit which shohld control the
Judgment. 1t is not infrequent that
sympathy for some man who has
been unfortunate in business influ-
ences the choice, and the Judgment
naturally acute when private in
terests are at stake, is exceedingly
remiss when the public is to bea,
the loss, if any should result, from
misplaced confidence. 1t may he
that the candidates misfortune has
resulted frem want of the very
essentials required in the discharge
of his official duties, still the Voice
Of conscience is hushed, and the risk
assumed, simply because sacrifice
of the public interest strikes each
individual with an oblique force
instead of a direct stroke. This is
wrong i'll principle, and an injustice
to every taxpayer.
Is he the best man for the place ?
This question is only partially an.
swered in the preceding analysis.
A man may be honest and capable,
and still the public service require the
selection of another to secure q fair
representative or exponent of the
existing public needs. A man
may be connected with enterprises
which, while they are public bene-
tit, may disqualify him from acting
as an impartial advocate of those
popular interests which exact COM
pliance on the part of the citizen.
His honesty may be unquestioned;
his capability acknowledged, and
still prudence would affirm that he
was not the best man for the Office.
These considerations formulate the
conclusion: Trust only men in pub
lie office who you would trust to
manage your own private business.
The interests of the public are a
higher, holier responsibility due to
citizenship, than are the humanitar.
ian or friendly impulses you owe to
any individual. When the interests
of office-holders become paramount
to those of the public and are SO
acknowledged, then indeed repub.
lcanism must be acknowledged to
be failure.
