Olympia, Saturday Morning, June 22,1872.
CHArMING SIMPLICITY.
His the Couritr indeed so low an esti.
mate of the average degree of intelligence
of its readers, as to believe that its repeti
tion of a falsehood will establish it as the
truth, or that braggadocio cin be made to
pass for any thing more than " sound and
fury, signifying nothing"? One is almost
forced to this belief despite the years of
experience and thorough education of its
editor.
We have never met with a journal of
the pretensions of the Couritr that has re
sorted so persistently to school-boy devices
wheo worsted in argument. When it has
been shown to have circulated a falsehood,
it retorts " You're another;" and when a
rebuke is given, it qnotes the precise words
of its opponent and applies it back upon
him no matter how irrelevant it may be,
or how rediculous in the eyes of the pub
lic.
Now wc have demonstrated in several
articles the absurdity of the Courier*
ground of defense of the change in our
Territorial election. It has given reasons
that not only do not apply in support of
the change but are really the best of rea
sons why no change should have been
made. Still the Courier with a degree of
"cheek" rarely equaled declares, "Our
fortress remains impregnable against the
assaults of the STANDARD." It has been
a matter of no little surprise to us, during
the controversy, that the Courier could not
bit upon some one admissible argument in
support of its position. It has been the
weakest attempt at vindication of an un.
warrantable act that has ever been pre
sented io our experience, and the easiest
to controvert, because the Courier's soph,
istry carried with it its own refutation.
The only additional support of the
measure claimed by the Courier is afford
ed by the fact that the Legislature passed
a bill providing for the contingency of a
change in the date of election. It reasons
from this that the people ratified the
change through tbeir representatives.
Nothing is further from the truth. The
question was forced upon the Legislature
by the probability of the passage of a gen
eral act, changing all elections to Novem
ber, and their only course in such an
event was to provide for the emergency
just as they did do, without expressing or
affirming any preference in a matter tbey
were unable to control. But in the pas.
ssge of the special act they had a right to
be heard, and do hold Mr. Garfielde to a
strict accountability for his duplicity and
total disregard of their wishes. The Cou
tier expresses a desire to drop the subject.
It may do so, if it pleases, but we intend
to keep the outrage fresh in the minds of
the people uotil they have an opportunity
to express their views upon this, as well as
many other unwarranted acts, of " our
Delegate"
FESTIVAL.— The attention of tbe pub
lic is again called to the festival to be
given by the ladies of tbe First Unitarian
Society of Olympia, at Columbia Hall, on

Bateman," tableaux, music &c. Straw
berries and ice cream served to all who

An OUTRAGE.
On Saturday cveuing laM.a* Mr I'riwrlt,
of the Trifirnr, wax entering the More ul
K. X Ouimette, on Main Si root, accom
panied by Ilia wife, he was accosted by Gen.
McKinney, the Superintendent of ludian
Affair*. nnJ requested to Mcp not on the
sidewalk* )Ir. IVnsch readily complied,
not anticipating a hostile demonstration n.«
he avers, and had no sooner proceeded be
yond the door than he was struck a vio
lent blow upon the head by MeKinney,
with his cane. Stunned and bruised by
the sudifen assault, he endeavored to close
with his antagonist, but in the endeavor
tripped and fell into the gutter, where Me-
Kinney administered several other blows
with the same weapon.
It is believed that this is a fair and im
partial statement of the occurrence. It is
certainly just as we received it from eye
witnesses of the disgraceful scene. If the
origin cf the difficulty is as stated by the
Tribune, we have no words of condemna
tion too strong to characterize the assault
wpon a man totally unprepared for a hos
tile meeting and thrown off his guard by
the manner and address of his assailant.
We had always thought there were certain
" points of honor" rccogniied by men of
established fighting reputations, a breach
of which was considered unfair and dis
honorable ; that among these were foul
blows, striking when down, or taking any
unforeseen advantage of an opponent.
Bat it appears we are mistaken, though
we have known men who would scorn to
resort to sueh expedients.
We hold that the acts of a public officer
are proper subjects fur criticism, and that
it is the special duty of the press to expose
all violations of public trusts. To the
press the people look for all such informa
tion, and when it fails to set forth abuses
known to exist, through fear or favor, it
fails in the most essential particular as the
exponent of the best interests of the com
munity from which it derives its own sup
port. If the charges made by the Tribune,
or im editor, against the Superintendent
were untrue, Gen. MeKinney certainly
had it in his power to prove them to be
false, and a mode of redicss guaranteed
by the laws framed for the well-being of
society. If they are true, he could not
have adopted a more thorough expedient
for developing the proof.
It docs not require much courage to as
sault with a weapon an unarmed man, and
one generally reputed to be a non-combat
taut. It adds no fresh laurels to the the
title or fame of the General to engage in
street broils or cudgel a prostrate foe; and
the sympathy or confidence of a communi
ty can never bo secured or swayed by fre
quent assaults upon peaceable citiccus,
who entertain no spirit of malice nor cher
ish feelings of revenge. It is unprofitable,
for it can in no event lengthen the days
allotcd to man nor conduce to bis happi
ness.
ID this connection, wc must condemn the
effort of the Courier to impress upon the
public the idea that the assault was pro
voked by allusions to anybody or anything
else than Gen. McKinney's official acts.
The item to which it doubtles alludes ap
peared in the Tribune several weeks ago
and could not, therefore, have induced the
late assault. It is much more probable
that that paper is correct in attributing,
it to the letter written by Mr. Prosch pro.
fering charges of malfeasance in office
against McKinney, for use at Washington.
Be that as it may, wc hope that our town
will not be again disgraced by such a scan
dalous proceedings
MIGHTY KEASONS. —The Republican
papers are giving reasons why Horace
Greeley should be defeated. One of these
is that he opposed the nomination of Lin
coln in 1860, and abused him during the
war. Another, that he favored peaceable
secession «at the beginning of the war
then again, that he favored peace nego
tiations in 18G2 at Niagara Falls; and
again, that he opposed Lincoln's re-nomi
nation. And his record since the war is
not a whit more satisfactory: He bailed
Jeff. Davis; was a candidate for Postmas
ter General under Johnson; opposed im
peachment and has done all in his power
to make Grant's administration unpopular.
Truly, this ia an array of iniquitous acts
that should seal his doom forever; but we
fear it won't do anything of the kind.
I®* Judge Lewis has decided that Ky
ger s bond is defective and consequently
the amount of the stolen funds cannot be
collected from his bondsmen. It appears
that the date and amount of the bond was
not filled in when signed, nor until a year
subsequently. The only redress for the
county is to recover what it can from the
personal estate of Kyger, and the Union
says that that will not cover the expenses of
litigation.

Current OF PUBLIC SENTIMENT.
The Now York Smii give* the result of
a conversation with Hngcr A. Prynr, the
well-known representative Southerner, on
the present aspect of the Presidential
campaign, which Bay be taken aa an in
dex of popular sentiment in the South.
lien. Pryor said that the whole Southern
people would support Greeley, because
they believed that if elected he woold
unite the whole country once again in the
bonds of peace and prosperity, llis idea
was—and he knew it to be shared very
generally by the southern people—that
the Democratic party could not consistent
ly and in honor nominate an independent
eandidate, because, by every form of man.
ifestation, tbey declared and pledged them
selves, before the Cincinnati Convention,
(hat if the Liberal Republicans would or.
ganize and nominate an independent ticket,
the Democratic party would not nominate
any ticket, but would support the caiidi
dates of the Liberal Republicans. The
nomination of Greeley was acceptable to
the Democracy. Not a single Democratic
journal nor representative Democrat, North
or South, has even intimated that they
would not support Greeley. It was idle
to say, " We won't support Mr. Greeley,
because his principles are not exclusively
Democratic." We knew, said he, that the
Liberal Republicans would not nominate a
man whose political opinions were ours.
We supposed that the Liberal Republicans
would nominate a Republican. Now, Mr.
Greeley is as acceptable to us as any nan
can be.
General Pryor affirmed that the South,
as well as every other portion of the coun
try has good reasons to support Mr. Gree
ley because he was in favor of universal
amnesty and against any further proscrip
tion of Southern men. lie had traveled a
great deal in the South, and had reason to
know that the feeling io the South ij over
whelmingly in his favor. A straight tick
et, he declared, could be nominated of ly
in the interest of Grant, because it would
serve no other end. The leaders of the
Democratic party and the Southern peo
ple know that well. Mr. Greeley, no
doubt, accepted the nomination with the
understanding that all classes opposed to
the Administration would go for him. As
for the South, they will go solid for Hor
ace Greeley, because, unlike Grant, he
recognizes the wir as over, and all its is.
sues as settled. The election of Grant
moans proscription and class legislation—
the election of Greeley means peace, hap
piness and equal laws all over the land.
The position of this distinguished advo
cate of extreme Southern ideas will have
great weight with men of like sympathies
and instincts.

New York State Convention, which met
in May. He said :
I believe that the three million* of Dem
ocratic voters will go unitedly, go with an
organization unbroken, go with their ranks
united ; and whatever they decide to do, they
will give victory to whatever cause and to
whatever candidates they declare themselves
in favor of. Ido not think tbut your great
and noble traditions are to be surrendered or
broken down ; but I suppose you will act as
wise men, and practical men, and all avail
yourselves of the best opportunity that exists
to work out for your cause what is possible ;
and believing in the destiny of your country
you will go forward fearlessly to th« achieve
ment of the great objects to which you have
been devoted from the fotindation oi the Gov

LIMA, May 0. 1872.
ED. STAXDARD: Paru is reached. We
, stand upon Pixarro'a land of silver and
! gold.
I don't see much of ihese, however, but
a great deal of copper and paper money.
In fact I went to a fruit woman, directly
after landing, to purchase a lew bananas ;
1 presented a four dollar bill in payment
nod she nearly loaded me down with cop
pers. I told her I wanted silver change,
hot she replied ti» intendn. I supposed
then she meant that ahc did not inteud
to give it to me, so I went away with a
heavy heart and heavier pockets. Since
then I have learned that no inttmla means
•' I don't nnderstand yon." " llow we
live and learn," in this progressive age.
But Peru I suppose is a rich couutry.
We cannot think otherwise when we sue
the great progress of railroads on every
side, the cnormoua amonnt of shipping
that is carried on to and from her ports,
and that her paper money is "just as good
as gold," though torn apart or one-third
gone. Peruvians will receive a bill that is
mutilated in this manner when they will
refuse a gold or silver piece with a hole in
it the situ of a button hole. Another proof
of her wealth and stability is that she has
lately negotiated a new loan in Europe for
thirty-five million pounds sterling, with
the very best security. But to Peruvians
belong no credit for her present popularity
and thrift. The construction of railroads
has made Peru what she is, and foreigners
built the railrouds. Take away this for
eign enterprise and Pern is several centu
ries behind the present age. In the valleys
there ara beautiful roads, but not even a
freight wagon to transport the produce to
market. Donkeys by thousands, old and
gray, go trudging along loaded with every
conceivable kind of freight. Even lumber
that comes from your Pugct Sound, I have
seen lashed upon the backs of these little
ancients, and packed for miles. There arc
many large sugar and cotton plantations
here, but instead of the steaui or gang
plow or the 14 Boston Clipper" or " Prairie
Schooner," are the old wooden "gougers,"
that weonly seo in representation of inple
ments belonging to ages that are behind in
time. There is no machinery with the
exception of what has been introduced iu
the last few years, and that in connection
with the railroads. In Lima, u city of
250,000 inhabitants, and with beautiful
natural water power, there is uot a factory
of any kind. Even the Peruvian money
is of foreign coinage. But the
CITY OF LIMA,
What is it? Though a city of over
three hundred years of age, here we find
no crumbling or moss covered walls, no
creeping vines over lattices of stone, no
neglected tenements. Everything is new,
at least it looks so. The buildings, I am
told are all painted, at least once a year.
There are many beautiful and tasty residen
ces, but all of pure Spanish style. In front
of each one is a kind of private plaia, paved
with cobble stone and often ornamented
with other kinds of stone, or bones of fishes
and shells. At the rear of this about fifty
feet from the street is the residence. It has
a balcony on every side if possible and ono
for each story above the ground floor.
The walls are thick, so as to he damaged
as little aa possible by the earthquakes.
The buildings are seldom over two stories
and never over three.
Among the antiquities of Lima is the
cathedral, and the bridge accrues the Rio
Riniac. The former is said to be three
hundred years old. On the tombstones
inside are very ancient dates, but I saw
none to prove its reputed oge. Below the
ground floor are vastcatecombs, containing
the bones and ashes of many thousands.
We are shown around here, for we can not
trust ourselves in these labyrinths without
a guide. We halt by the side of a largo
skeleton and ask our guide who it is.
" Pisarro," he replies, and asks if we
dou't want a piece of the shroud—can
have a little piece for four reils (40cts).
But we did not care for four reils, worth of
that shroud; we knew that Pizarro was too
much hated by the Peruvians to rest qui
etly in the cathedral, and besides we had
been reminded the trick. The bridge was
built by Pisarro, and is a continuation of
the main street of Lima whiqji leads to the
gardens, and the arena. It is an arched
and pier stone structure, and is provided
with a foot walk on each sido It is \great
public resort and every evening hundreds
of the people of Lima can be seen prome
nading on its walks, or taking their ease
on the seats, which I suppose that Pizarro
provided too for the comfort of these
people that declare their hatred against
him. Last Thursday, the 2d of May, was
the anniversary of Peruvian independence.
On that day Congress assembled, and on
Sunday the election of President took
place. The acting President snys be shall
retain the seat and has the military to sup
port him. The President elect, backed by
the masses of the people, also claims the
position. Who will be successful in ob
> taining the place will probably be decided
by force of arms. In my next I may be
able to give you the result. J. H.

FIRST BOOK OF CHRONICLES.
('HAITI It V.
1. After Thornton, the assimilator, had
sinched Charles, the trrgiver>ator, and
taken him back into the entrenchments,
lie was wroth, and commented to lire his
catapnlt at random.
2. And it came to pass that a atray
piece of dirt from his engine s*ruck Thom
as. the Xes<|uullyitc, and wounded him iu
a lenJer spot.
51. And Thomas, the Nesquallyito, went
fortli iu the streets of Chitwoot, and when
he had met Charles, ihe tergivcrsator, he
fell upon him, and a great battle ensued.
4. After the battle was over and his
wounds had been dressed, Charles, the
tergivcrsator. sent forth an epistle to the
people of Alki, that they might know how
lie had dons unto his enemy, and to in
struct Iheui in the art of war.
6. And this is the first epistle of Charles
the tergivcrsator to the Alkians :
0 And it came to pass, that Thomas,
the Nisquallyitc, called us outside. As he
did so, in his usual manner and tone of
voice, we had not the remotest idea that
he had a hostile intent.
7. In compliance with his request we
stepped aside, totally unprepared for at
tack and unsuspicious of danger. When
sufficiently near, he suddenly raised a
heavy hickory cane an I dealt us a stun,
ning blow upon the head.
8. Surprised uml stunned, fur a moment
we wore at n loss how to act; in this brief
space he inflicted several other blows.
0. Returning to a state of semi-con
sciou?ness, wo faintly roali/.t'd the circum
stances in which we were so unexpectedly
placed. Our first impulse was to close
with our assailant. As wo proceeded to
do so he retreated, keeping us out of reach
and at the same time showering his blows
upon our person.
lU. \V liilo vainly endeavoring to get
hold of (lie scoundrel, we Cell into H hollow
by the sidewalk, with our head lower than
our heels. In this position wo were com
pletely powerless, nevertheless he cotitin.
uc<l his blows until his strength was ex
hausted.
11. When ho desisted, we arose, bri'.ised,
stunned, and our senses somewhat scat
tered.
12. Panting for breath, ho said, " Put
my name in jour paper again, will you ?"
We replied that we would when it suited
us to do so. Remarking that he had not
done with us yet, ho left the scene.
13. When the Alkiaos had read the
epistle of Charles, tho tcrgiversator. they
marvelled at his cooluess in buttle and skill
in the art of war.
14. And Jonathan, the peace-officer,
when ho had heard these things, mounted
his chariot of war and drove like Jehu.
15. And William, his deputy, scratched
gravel.
16. And when the followers of Selucins
the babbler had heard these things, they
laid tribute upon the people for fifty shelc
els of silver, and made unto themselves a
graven image ot wood.
17. The image was named Cain, and
those who looked upon it were smote with
a headache and pnins in their bones.
18. And when they had seen the image
that it was fearful to behold, Ezra the
law-giver, Elisha the parliamcntcrian, Pe
troleum the drummer, Clarence the amor
ous, Thomas the pious, William the
usurer and Marion the lemon squeezer,
fell down and worshiped it.
19- And they offered incense and
poured ointuicnt and soft-soap upon it.
and sang hnlelujahs to propitiate it that it
might not harm thein.
20. And the men in high places pro
claimed it to be the true god. And it be
came a mighty power, and there was no
law in the land except the law of Cain.

the very gratifying announcement that
Greeley has but one brother in-law, and
no father, and that his nephews aro all
