PORT TOWNSEND, April IL, 1882.
ED. ARGUS; DEAR SIR: My atten-
tion having been called to an arti.
Gle which you published in your pa
per of April l4th, in reference to
the need of pilots in Juan de Fuca
straits, and mentioned therein my
name as stating it being an absurd
ty that no pilots were required, |
wish to state to you that never
made such an assertion nor expressed
myself in anyway regarding the pi
lot business. / have been in these
waters three different times and
never employed pilot beforehand
should hot have done so on this oc
casion, bad ! been well, the reason
Of which is plain when | state that
Mr.. McAlmond WAS the second pilot
that spnke me at Cape Flattery, the
first one being Capt. Oliver who
asked me 500 for plotting to Royal
Roads, which thought was too
high; when Capt. McAlmond spoke
me and asked $15 for his services |
accepted them.
Voluntary pilotage think is all
that is required fo- the waters of
Juan de Fuca straits, and If their
charges are moderate, as the one
that paid to Capt McAlmond, no
doubt many ship owners would EN-.
ploy them; but as a shipmaster of
20 years experience, ] must state
that | am strongly opposed to any
compulsory pilot law, and hope the
people Of Washington Territory will
always uphold the present system
and not lay bsrdensome tax on
ships in the way OF compulsory
pilot law.
Hoping You will insert this in
your yalu BILE paper, in order to re
Eute the false statement made there.
in, on the aforementioned date.
| am, respectfully,
NICHOLAS KIRBY,
Master Jeremiah Thompson.
All we need to say is that the in
formation embodied in the article re.
ferred to came to us directly from
the pilot himself, and either we mis-.
understood him or he must have
misunderstood Capt. Kirby. We do
not believe there was any intention
al misrepresentation done-certainly
not the part Of this iournal-hence
we are glad to give place to Capt.
Kirby's statement in order to cor.
rect an error.

The "Independent," published at
Washington d. c., has reached our
table This is monthly journal, filled
with excellent reading matter, but it is
difficult to Judge Of the particular field
aimed to be occupied by the new
publication.
The mammoth mercantile business of
A. Il. Stewart Co, in New York is to be
closed out. Since the death Of the head
of the firm there has been no one with
ambition and ability to continue the
business.
We have received copy of "Copp's
Land Owner" published at Washington,
ID. G. 1t is valuable journal, well
calculated to command the support of
those who want information about our
land laws.
The Brooklyn "'rimes' is. and always
has been Republican. but it hits some
body in this mean way: ut is TO be seen
whether the American people do not
finally conclude that Guiteau is the most
respectable of this crowd of asSaSsins.
He did not skulk behind an anonymous
signature, nor fire his pistol into n dead
mans's coflin."
ONE-FiFTH of all the oysters brought to
New York 60 to England. With
American beef. pork. fruit. canned goods,
flour, corn and oysters, the raw material
from this side oil the water seems to be
largely represented. And yet there are
Britons who believe that AL these things
are grown better in England and sold
cheaper than in any other part Of the
world.

as the pugnaeious BLAINE in a conserva,

WE learn from the Detroit Free Press"
that ''the Grand Jury OF Bucks county,
Pa. have declared the jail unfit tor gen

annoying to the high toned sweIs Of that

WHEN Vermont was first admitted into

afterwards increased TO six. Now. after
period of ninety years, the State returns
to the original number.
