There is considerabla complain: among mach xnts regarding the olgl custom of [(CLiVing cuneucy at 91) cents in trade when it is only worth 663,; in San Fram cisco and Portland and cannot be sold at a better rate here. Customers are asking too much when they expect met clmuts to lose 3% per cent. on Ihe mon— ey they receive in payment for goods. Currency on this Coast is governed by the daily markets of Gold in New York; it. is not. our circulating medium. Our merchants buy their goods on a gold ba sis and must sell the same way and can not afford to recelve a depreciated cnr~ reucy for pnyments for (my more than it is worth in the mnrket.

Mr. Hoover is a young man 'lf estimable character and unussnming manners. whose sterling qualities will eventutilly command a high degree of public confidence und consideration. His name has been mentioned in con» nection with the candidacy for Prosecn ting Attorney for this judicial district. and we know of no man in the district who would more faithfully and credits.- bly discharge the duties of that ofiice, and we believe no one would command a larger vote if he should consent to be-; come a candidate. ‘ Dn'ml: SERVICE ——Rev.

I called to-day for some letters that came down from Olympia on Thursday mom ing, but without taking the trouble to see, he informed me ” nothing." Now according to the many complaints I hear from other parties, this must be a com mon occurrence with the P.

THE Mamunnns.—Brown and Ship my, the despemdoes who for the last month evaded the vigilance of the police and spread ten-0r over the country, are yet in this neighborhood. One of them entered Port Blakeley a few days since and carried away his cloochmnn; on Tuesday one was seen at Freeport, and on Wednesday morning they were both seen in this city at an early hour. The audacity of the scamps is wonderful. Sums, August 20, 1871. Editor Dispatch :—lc seems that our astute and august City Council. after carefully compounding a. medicine with which to cleanse Seattle from the efiects of, and prevent the further spread among us, of all contagious or infectious disease. are themselves making wry faces, and refusing to swallow a dose of it. It is no use gentlemen, you may strug gle its much its you please, the public are holding it to your lips, and it will kn. you politically if you don't swallow it, and it will just as surely kill you if you do. In other words, you have en acted a Health Ordinance compelling the people of Seattle, under the heavy penalty of one hundred dollurs to misc 8 yellow flag on any building where a case of contagious or infectious disease exists wllnd then when the citizens peti tzon you to carry out the provisions of the said Oldinancc by placing a yellow flag on the house of John W. Pitmell, (that brothel of pollution) you in order to escape from it task your fear or inter est deters you from undertaking shrink the responsibility h'y deciding that in your opinion, John W. Pinuell‘s premises do not come within the provisions of City Ordinance No. 30. (a. decision in which the the puplic, happily do not concur.) Let us look at some of the provisions of this Ordinance. It says expressly, " Any contagious or infec tions disease." It does not define nor specify what the disease shall be, so that it is contagious or infections. It may be mumps, measles, itch, chicken pox, whooping cough, syphilis, small— pox. sent-let fever, typhus tever, or any other contagious or infectious disease. Thut they all come within the provisions of City Ordinance No. 30, no sane per- 1 son will deny. But, say these gi'nve 1 and learned Councilmen—this is n. snmll— i pox Ordinance 1 Then why in the name of common sense does it not say smull pox. No, no, gentlemen that Will never do. The people would never infer from reading the Ordinance that the Count-i 1 , had ever heard of small-pox, much less , that the Ordinance was made in i'el'er- ‘ ence to it. Just look at it ! Here is an Ordinance of nine sections, said by our learned City Council. to be a :matll-pox 3 Ordinance, but in which the word small- ‘ pux does not once occur. While the words “coutuglous or infectious dis- ease,” occurs no less than six times.— Blit then our City Council is composed of very wise and very learned men, and it Would be doing them gieut injustice to suppose for one moment, that their “ Otliuilucc uiuehinci‘y " might huvcgot out of 'rder by being too freely oiled with lager. and so have ground out “any contagious or infectious disease,“ when they meant small-pox. Oh, no !we will rather believe they meant just what the Ordinance says, and that they only got frightened because they weie petitioned to begin the process of purification by cleaning out John W. l’innell's estab lishment. Then again, sec. 4 makes it the duty of the Mayor or Health Ullicei‘ to restrain from going upon the street or from house to house, or in any public place whatever, any person who has any such contagious or infectious dis ease, which section the petitioners urged them to carry into efl'ect but which they have neglected to (lo—not even ginng u reason for neglecting their duty, no, not even as shallow a one as in the case of John l’iniiell. " Why." said one “ho seemed to be. pasted. to whom was pre sented the petition for signature, " it' that provision was carried out it would brenk up more than half the families of Seattle." I replied. then God help Scuttle. if that is the case, then't‘nc sooner this Urdinuuce is ent' )l‘Ct'd the belter. Said another. “ John l’inueil keeps Uloochmen. mid respectable men don't go there as much as they used to, for now they hhve got another establish ment of the some kind right here in their midst, where there are white wom en.”" Think of that wives and mothers. “ Respectuble men don't visit Pinnell‘s as often as formerly.” They hziVe ill]- other place of resort of like character more conveniently situated. Respect able men ! comment is unnecessary.— Bnt we would not for a moment enter~ tuin the srspicion thnt any of our City Council might passibly belong to the class of respectable men hind for that reason are afraid of too close uu investi gation, and so gave that part of the pe tition the go by. No indeed ! We will rather suppose that theimportnnce of saving the premi ses of John \V. Pinnell from the cleaner ing they so much need, in order to stop the spreud of so mm b infection, so oc cupied their astute minds. that they en tirely forgot everything else. M. QUITE A Du‘nnxscn.—We mentioned ately that a ton of freight transported from San Francisw to Kahuna. cos} the sum ot $11.25. including the charges by way of Portland. We see by u no tice of the item in the Olympia Tribune, that to Puget Sound from San Francis co freight 'is only 34,40 per ton by steamer, and we believe that $3 is the rate by sailing vessels. When the rail road is completed to the Sound, the ex cessive Columbia river chwrges must be greatly reduced. or the line of trnnsit for Columbia Basin trade will turn in that direction as railway is the cheap est seaboard connection.—-Kalqma Bea PUGET SOUND DISPATCH, SEATTLE, w.

MEMPHIS, August 17—Early this morning a fisherman discovered the steamer Helen Brooks afloat down the river some ten miles above here, appur eutly übuuilnued. Rowing out to her he made a line fast to his skiff and started for land; before landing, how ever. he disco.ered a negro sitting us leep on the lower deck. with a. shot gun in his lap. When the bout. struck the bank. the negro started up, jumped ashore and run into the woods. The fisherman, on boarding the bout, found tmces of u desperate struggle. and the decks‘ covered with blood. He came to ;the city at once, and reported what he lllttd done. Subsequently the Grand iTower from St. Louis arrived here. the inflicvrs bringing a message from the jMugistrut-a at Bradley's Landing, 1!" miles above, where the crew of the Hel en Brooks and proprietors. and the fnmily of a trading boat which the Hel en Brooks had towed up. had been mur dered, and the ship plundered. Assis tance was at once dispatched; the re port is that Capt. W. H. Pratt and broth er, the two proprietors of the trading boat. and their wives and two daugh tern. were all murdered. and thrown in to the river. Murine Int ‘1 lzellce. Str. California. Capt.
