O'Clock =. M, after a very pleasant and
agreeable trip of eight days.
During the entire time nothing oc-
curred to mar the pleasure of those on
board. Wherever we landed We were
received in the most gracious manner.
Too much praise and thanks cannot be
extended to the officers and attendants
on the boat during our trip. Capt. Tom
Wright was ever faithful at his post.

captain and pilot ensures him in the
future great demand for his services
He ia greatly attached to (the) Eliza

ity of these two gentlemen is due to a
great extent the success of our trip.
While at supper, a short time before
reaching seattle, an expression of thank
fulness for attention to duty was ten
dered to Capt. Tom Wright by ex Gov.

siOnists, after which was rendered the
happy and appropriate Hes jolly

We were received and welcomed on
the dock by many friends and dispersed
to our respective homes.

Port Townsend Argus.l


II our lawmakers will kindly listen q
moment We will give them few point.
ers on the criminal laws of this Terri
tory-and no extra charge for advice
either. Experience for time rs JUS
tise of the peace, and an observation of
petty criminal affairs, has enabled rs to
speak somewhat intelligently upon this
matter. What We want to say is that,
by g mistaken idea of justice, no court
Of Inferior jurisdiction to district
court Is allowed to condemn a criminal
to hard labor. As result our jails are
filled from time to time by tramping
vagabonds who find therein Just the
kind Of board and lodging they want.
Port Townsend Jail is today fair speci,
men. Prisoners are fined for some Of
fense, and are imprisoned in default of
payment of fine and cos,s. Sometimes
their friends furnish them with money
to pay their way and get discharged; /;
yet, in frequent instances, they prefer
to "board it out" aud save the money.
They care little or nothing for the dis
grace of imprisonment. and the Jail
diet and accommodations do
very we'll for change. We pro-
test that such state nf affairs
indicates something radically wrong.
The true idea of jails and courts is to
provide means of punishing criminals,
and that which criminals are not averse
to cannot be called punishment. The
present system ips our jails with a
class of tramping bummers who are an
enormous expense to the county, whose
numbers are rather Increased than
diminished by arrests and applications
of the law, and who are by no means
punished in the true sense Of the word.
II our legislators would provide for
making the Law veritable terror to
evil doers," they should amend the law
so as to give justices and committing
magistrates the power to provide hard
labor for prisOners-such labor as will
cause those gentry who ornament prison
coils 10 prefer their freedom. Particu-
larly should this apply to class of
vaRrants who are continually looking
for work, but fail 70 fnd il. Certainly
our governments should mercifully pro-
vide work for such desperate seekers-
work enough to satisfy their most inOr-
dinate appetites. Let the magistrate
have power to order criminals, SEN
tenced by him. to perform 50 many
hours labor every day-and 81 that
IL is faithfully performed, too, and we
would soon have smaller crowds in the
county jails.
