THE DECLARATION.

The following from the July mum

some erroneous impressions concern
ing the Declaration of independence !;
"On July 10 Congress voted that the
Declaration be engrossed on parch-

aucntly New y ork must have signed
the original copy of the Declaration
before 1T had gone into the hands of
the engyo3ser On. what day the work
was done by the copyist'is not known.
All that is certainly known is that on
the Cd of August Congress had the

CHICAGO, July 29.-A special London
cable says that Il syndicate of holders
of confederate bonds has been formed
to press the payment, and they have
outlined 4 campaign which contempiates
financial pressure ON the Southern
States by which to closely connect Eu-
ropean money with Southern enter
prise. The syndicate has been fora long
time in correspondence with prominent
men i'll the south. All without excep-
ton agreed that some compromise
should be effected at low figure. The
syndicate also entertains the sentim mt
of hope OF assistance on the part of the
United States Government. They have
a project of getting the Southern States
to petition the United States Govern
ment to transfer to bondbolders the un-
balance of the Alabama
award and of the large amount of mon
ey received from Gotten sources in the
south during the war ii is thought by
them that ten thousand q dollars are
lying idle in the Treasury at Washing
ton. This would be thirteen or four
teen million dollars, or about one-third
of the amount they would be satisfied
with settlement. The amount Of the
Confederate debt is said to be S400,000,-
600, held mostly in Europe. How much
of this the syndicate will be able to
gather in remains to be seen. At any
rate the syndicate, if successful, will
reap vast reward for their outlay.

Development.

For the ARGUs.I
Development is a law of nature. All
existing forms Of matter, and of spirit,
are developed by uniform laws You
plant an acorn, what are the laws that
develop it: The laws of nature through
moisture and warmth; and as it advances
other laws of nature take their roper
place, through light aud air. Thus an
oak is produced. Suppose You desire TO
develop town, how will you proceed?
Will you plant more liquor saloons:
VIII you license more houses Of i'll flame?
where your children contract i'll diseaes,
which poison body and Soul, and CON
sign them to Il premature grave: Are
these the laws that develop town. Yes,
they are; but they are unnatural laws,
and develop unnatural towns; towns
that the God of natural laws will spew
out of his mouth. A story is told of
muscular preacher, who used all the
powers God had given him, fists as well
as tongue. Some of his sisters thought he
this text: IF man smight thee on
thy right cheek, turn to him the other
also They thought it would be diff
cult to harmonize the text with his con-
duct He said he would preach from it
the next Sabbath, and he did. de open
ed with the usual services, and went
ahead. He went on to say that the
bible was distinguished from all other
books by appealing to the Goldman and
not to the brute-man. He continued,
IF a man should strike you on the right
cheek. he might do it through mistake.
! or through feeling of mischief, and if
you had turned around without asking
any questions, and struck him back,
that would be acting like brdte. You
should keep still, and turn the other
check. Ii he strikes you on that, you
know he meant it; then go for him"
Now it's just possible that some of the
first siaks of inilaity in Port Townsend
were planted here through mistake, OF
i'll spirit OF mischief. But then, dear
! Clty rathers, yOu nave been turning the
other cheek 10y letting them alone now
for 10, these many years; AMI they still
come, shifting us on the other cheek.
We think the gospel will now bear yOu
out in going for them; every principle
in nature and grace will sustain you i'll
going for them; parents whose children
are becoming demoralize1 through their
influence, will sustain you in going for
| them; the very best interests of your city
demand that you go for them; the God
of Heaven demands that you so for
them; and so go for them as to take them
out root and branch, and then keep them
out. Then shall your city develop with
a growth that shall be permanent and
healthy. II.

SAN FRANcIsco, July 30 The move
mcnt of fIeights northwurd for the past
ten days, including shipments to British
Columbia. has been very active. As a
rule, staples such as general groceries
and feed. have formed the bulk Of the
freight Est, while farming implements
also figure largely. Arrivals Of deep
water vessels from New York and other
Atlantic ports have small coHsignments
for Portland and some for Victoria. On
the. CtLer hand the exports of Oregon
and Washington Territory products are
more than iairly active, the bulk of ship
ments going to the east, and III which
valley wool forms an important portion.
The John Stevens LETT this port recently
for New York, and will he followed by
the Seminole and Davy Crockett i'll
short time, both of which load wool and
lumber. The latter also takes sample
cargo of pig iron from near Port Town
send. Exports of salmon continue
light. with a recent shipment 10 Australia
and another to Mexico. The latter Is
said to be the first of any consequence
yet made.
1t is announced today that the North
ern Pacific propose carrying freight from
the east to San Francisco at same rates
as to Portland, and that the manager viii
demand the pooling of freights by all the
transcontinental roads. Such action on
the part Of the Northern Pacific road
will, it is believed here, permit San
Francisco merchants, through their
heavier importations, TO continue sue
cessfully to compete with the east for
the trade of the northwest, and continue
to make San Francisco the depot of sup
plies for the entire Pacific coast.

Our RAILRoAD.-A correspondent
in the OregoniaH calls attention to
the approaching necessity which will
compel the Oregon Short Line Rail
road Company to seek an outlet
south of Budd's Inlet, west of Puget
Sound, to point near enough to the
ocean to successfully compete with
the Canadian Pacific. There is no
special occasion for agitating this
question at the present time, for the
company formed for the purpose of
engineering railroad enterprise ON
the west side has been and is quietly
working to secure a bonus of land,
rights of way, &c, before publicly
agitating the subject Indeed, they
do not need to hunt their game with
a band of music, as We have it from
reliable authority that they are offered
an abundance of eastern capital to
construct the road whenever a GER
tain amount of land along the line
shall have been donated, and the nee
essary right of way granted. So the
Short Line can take the chance OF
let it aione-a railroad we will have.
Commercial necessity Will compel it.
The correspondent referred to makes
a good point by showing that rail
road on the west side would find in
Port Townsend and Port Discovery
bays duplicate of New York har
bors; on the peninsula between

built up, and the two harbors would

1t is said that the Indians on the
Fort Berthold Reservation IN North
Dakota are looking with anxiety to
the fullfillment three years hence of a
prophecy made in speech to them,
by white man seventeen years ago,
that in twenty years they would have
to give up their wild habits and
adopt the habits of white men. There
are 1,200 of these Indians, and they
have made remarkable progress in
agriculture, having now under sue
cessful cultivation about 900 acres.
There is little doubt that if the prop
or encouragement was given them the
majority of the Indians of the West
would in comparatively few years
become industrious farmers; but how
many white men would take any in
terest in cultivating land when they
were as certain as they V re of day
following night that they would soon
be ordered to abandon their fields
and mcve on to strange ground?
Yet that has been the experience of
the red men of America almost from
the day the Pilgrims landed to the
present The only apparent saliva
ton for the Indian is to devise some
plan by which he may become a
citizen and a voter; when he acquires
the latter right he will find con-
tinuing abode.
