~. E. H." the Olympia correspondent of the
OregOnian, gives the following insight into the
dOings of The Federal clique at Olympia:


1t is currently reported that the political War
wicks are at work medtating The removal of Sec
retary Evans, who has only been in office about
three months, but in that short period has con-
vinced them that he cannot be controlled and
made to acquiesce in all their refarious potings.
and had thus incurred the displeasure of that
august coterie of officials, who claimed to be "the
parl ocular friends of the Presipent from an ac-
qnaintaace of twenty years standing" We have
not heard the particular sin with which they
charge him, except that being an old citizen OF
the Territory, the imported talent look upon him
with suspicion. Ii is said that the political vam-
plres have sharpenPd the knife to immo late Sec
retary Evans, and have already reported him as
"hshy" to Uncle Abe. Mr. Evans has host Of
trlends-haS thus far proved popular and efii-
cisnt officer, and if he has fair hearing will dc
feat The political Stock-iobhfrs who claim to CON
troll the Federal patronage and places in th s
Territory. The people are heartily sick of these
frequent changes. They think this constant tur-
mol and struggle TO remove men should be put
an end o "and would rather bear the ills they
have than fly to others they know not Of in a
fresh importation.


We rather suspect The secret of the Federal Of
fetal dislike to Evans over there, Is because he
is not sound on The abolition goose If such
is the case he has only to endorse the immaculate
wisdom of the emancipation proclamation meas
ure, and he will not be sacrificed. 1t is nothing
to swallow if man can only bring himself to
think so, and why shouldn't man train himself
to THINK SO TO save his official head. Some
democrats can swallow the emancipation procla-
nation and everything else nowadays for The
sake of getting Office, and why shouldn't an old
Republican be willing to do as much to keep an
Office?

A spirited little family warfare Is being
carried on between the abolish organs OF
Oregon and Washington, to-wit: the Or

pondent ~. E. H" in late letter to that
paper pitches into the old Gorilla, Henry,
without gloves and charges him with the
defeat of Raynor, while the Standard, the
Gorilla organ, lays the blame of the de-
feat on the Oregonian and Secretary Chase.
We are of the opinion that both charges
are alike untrue We have been looking
over the vote from the various counties,
and from careful examination Of the
whole matter, are forced to the conclusion
(Which it seems to us ought to be appar-
ent to every one, that Raynor was defeat
ed simply for the reason that there were
not Republican votes enough in the Terri
tory to elect him. The Oregonian did all
1t was capable Of doing to secure Raynor' 5
election, The Times threw in its mite
The Standard lied persistently and furious
ly. The $500 Puget Sound Herald was
meaner and more unscrupulous than all the
rest and effected all that it could for Ray
nor. In fact, all these journals labored in
Raynors behalf with great zeal, and as
well as we have been able to learn the Re-
puolicans all over the Territory and their
brethren over in Oregon did all they could
to elect their candidate, but the Democracy
outnumbered them, and therefore defeated
their candidate at the polls, as they intend
doing in all future elections in this Terrific
ry. 1t would be well for the CregOnian to
learn, and make note of the fact for fu-
ture use, that interference with Washing
ton Territory elections on its part does no
good to its party here, and is only calcula-
ted to lay itself liable to the charge of Sc
curing defeat, while there is not even re-
mote chance of ever being able to divide
the laurels of success.

FROM THE PLAINS News GENES in
from Boise that the number of emigrants
on the road TO the northern coast is not
so large as heretofore reported A con-
siderable proportion of the emigration
turned up the Missouri TOW ards the Big
Hole ard Beaver Head mines. A great
many of these will most likely continue on
to this side of the mountains, via the Mul-
Ian road. A goody number that started
for this coast stopped in Colorado, and sew
eral large trains continued on to Cali
ifornia Some of the emigrants that have
arrived at Boise report that the same dis
ease prevails among the cattle on the
plains that has been so destructive to the
teams between here and Boise.


AS it is not likely that the forward
trains could have a correct idea of the num-
Der of cmigrants on the road behind them,
and from the accounts published in the
Kansas, Nebraska and Colorado papers
all of which speak the very large number
on the road to Boise-we yet incline to
the opinion that the Boise country and
Washington ard Oregon will get much the
larger proportion of the emigration.

graphed to Salt Lake. in five to seven days
