In his Philadelphia reception of May
18th, Henry Willard Is reported by the
Times to have said that he felt that
the stockholders owed a great debt of
gratitude to the capitalists of Phila-
delphia, for it was here the plan was
born, fostered, and finally saved from
utter ruin. He said that the purposes
of himself and his New York associate
stockholders had been misconstrued
since they came into control, and de-
clared that the one desire that had ac-
tuated all their actions was to give
strength to the Northern Pacific and
complete Ii as speedily as possible,
and in spite Of all obstacles. He ex-
planned how he had conceived the
plan OF forming connection from
Lake Superior to the Pacific ocean
many years before he had share of
stock in the Northern Pacific; how he
had placed himself in control of the
Oregon Steamship Company, operat-
ing between San Francisco, Portland
and Puget Sound, and to the Oregon
u California Railroad, and then es-
tablished the connection between
these two corporations and the North
ern Pacific. These enterprises were
merely tributary to the Northern Pa
cific, and he had never intended to
make them anything else. They had
built up 1900 miles Of standard gauge
road to meet the main line, and spent
S3,000,000 for the equipment of the
steamship line, all of which had not
cost the Pacific company dollar.
And since all this had been done emf
grafton into Oregon had been four
times as great as formerly. The pres
ent western terminus of the Northern
Pacific, he stated, was at a point IA
miles east of the crossing of the Big
Horn river, in Montana. In reference
to the emigration business done upon
the road, he said, for five weeks just
passed, settlers have gone westward
at the rate of 300 day.

Gen. John NJ. Palmer, of Illinois, .
man of national reputation and DEM
ocrat, who commanded division In
the army of the Cumberland under
Rosecrans, in speaking few even
ings since at Springfield Of the Rose
Grams discussion, said:
Rosecrans is jealous of his military
reputation, but l am of the opinion
that he is not helping it. Let me tell
you, James A. Garfield was true to
Rosecrans; truer than Rosecrans was
to him. In all of his soul and heart
Garfield was grand. He wrote let
ter to Secretary Chase in which his
manhood was exemplified. 1t was
written in an hour of national tumult.
1t may have contained words that
would not have been inserted twenty
years later. The inspiration that
comes from the conditions of war and
those which come from the conditions
of peace will not conform closely.
What Rosecrans may say will have
no effect upon me. Rosecrans, living,
cannot injure Garfield, dead.
"What, in your opinion, is Rose
Grams object in seeking so much pub
licity on the subject?"
"My notion" responded the gen.
eral, 'is that the presidential bee il
buzzing in his bonnet"

THE DEAD PRIEsT.-Rev. Father
Gazoli, the pioneer missionary, who
died at the C9ur dAlene mission
ou June 10th, at the age Of 73 years,
was born in Rome of q noble family,
being near relative of Pope Plus TX,
Pope Plus VII being his godfather.
Father Gazoli entered the priesthood
when quite young, and chose for his
fields Of labor the wilds OF Washington
Territory, where he has labored faith
fully among the Indians for 40 years,
during which time he has established
and built up three fiourishing mis-
sions. He was known among the In
dians as the priest doctor, and during
his time accomplished much good,
more than once prevailing upon the
Indians to abandon the contemplated
raids against whites, and thereby pre-
venting bloodshed. He passed his
last hours i'm an old log hut, refusing
to be moved In handsome house
near by where he could be supplied
with comforts such as his condition
would seem to have demanded. Arch
bishop Seighers conducted the funeral
services, and pontifical mass was cele-
brated over his remains, which were
inferred beneath the chancel OF the
mission church. Gaxoli's companion

ordi, IL now lying at the point OF
death at the above named mission.

Gen. G. A. Forsyth, U. 8. A., is re-
ported as having said IN press In
terview: Secretary Teller's policy
Of disarming the Indians meets with
the warm approval of all officers, and
will do much towards preventing out
breaks and raids. The rapid develop
ment Of railways In Mexico aud In
portions OF Arizona is also doing much
to settle the vexed Indian question.
The proclamation Of the President on
the COWBOY question, while somewhat
sneered at, has really been productive
Of much good. although the best citi-
gems Of the two Territories had com-
hined together. and with strong
hand put down In a great many In

PHENoMENAL.-A strange phenom.

PHENOMENAL.-As strange phenom-
ena was presented in the sound waters
recently. The surface was colored q
bright red In many places, especially
i'm the main channel Of the sound. As
near as could be ascertained the color
ing was caused by myriads of dimin-
utive red bugs so small indeed that
they could scarcely be discerned with
the naked eye. Owing to the fact
that they came in with the tide, and
the coloring exists In greater degree
in the lower sound waters, 1t Is rea-
sonable to suppose that this swarm o
insects came In from the sea. The
oldest sailor or settler on the sound
does not remember having seen any
thing Of the kind heretofore, although
in tropical seas this Is said to be o.
frequent occurrence.

taking measures to assure the voters that
their 5allots shall be properly deposited

passed the law for their own benefit, and

appointed in this city and elsewhere. Ii is

A Good Exhibit.

The Franklin County Gazette publishes
a list OF persons In that county returned
delinquent for the non-payment Of the
capitation-tax for the year 1881. We are
gIatified to see that in that large county
only about 1876 whites and $40 negroes are
thus returned. According to the Audi
tors report for 1881 the number OF persons
assessed with that tax in Franklin county
for 1880 was 4.533-3,354 whites and 1,1I3
negroes. We call that good exhibit.
But il is not so good viewed in the light OF
the census, though better one than most
counties can make, we suspect. Ac-
cordine 10 the census, there were In Frank
lin county in 1880 Qhc same year, 1t VIII be
observed) 3, 155 voters, or males twenty-one
wears old and over g. 700 whites and 400
negroes. There were, therefore, G22 voters
I'm Franklin county who were not assessed
with the capitation-tax in fss0-3iG whites
and 276 negroes.
These GAG whites ought to be induced to
register. The Mahoneites will attend to the
21G negroes.
y. s. Why does not one Of the Franklin
GqzeiteS change its name! 1t is confusing
to have two papers in one State bearing
precisely the same name. One is published
in Franklin Gown, southampton county;
the other in Franklin county.

Yes, we mean to say exactly that. We
mean TO say that the capitation-tax require

ship may be wrecked next November.
There is nothing else threatening so much

the money wherewith TO pay the capitation-
tax for all their followers. What good
will il do Us TO have majority of possible
voters II we do not have majority of the

age TO be voter. There are, we suppose,
not fewer than fifty thousand men left off
