Chairman False. As Usual. Seattle Post] The lnh'lliycm't'r says the action of the six delegates from King county who at the Vancouver convention Voted for Bradshaw was "steeped in portal} to lhc people of this county." Our contem porary is mad which is greatly to he deplored. It does not speak the truth. The delegation was not instructed for Judge Jacobs or any one else. There has been no public expression demand ing the nomination of that gentleman. No one who knows the Judge will doubt his titnosa for the otlicc, nor will then- be a question raised when it is said he would have received a splendid Vote; but all this docs not make the action of those gentleman who opposed him pcrthhous to the people of King county. That could be truthfully charged under but one condition: had those gentlemen gledged themselves to vote for Judge . acohs. to their constituency. and then violated their acknowledged statement, they could be charged with perfldy. Again: The Intolh'gencer says that they were “perfldious to the party." Here. too. it states what it must know to be absolutely false. To be liable to the charge of our contemporary. those gen tlemen would have given their votes to a man who was not a republican who was known to bea democrat—and a man in whom the community could have no con fidence. Is this true? Not in a single syllable. No man in the Territory has been a more consistent. active republi can than C. M. Bradshaw. He has a re cord that any man in the party could well be proud of. For he has proved his devotion to the party for the past twenty years by active. personal servme. If Mr. Bradshaw was a man whose ability could be questioned. there might be cause for complaint. But this cannot be main tained. for his record as a lawyer is an excellent one. He is in every way quali ticd for the important position of public prosecutor of the district. There can be no excuse for the charge made by the In !vlligvm‘cr. It in utterly reckless and without foundation. Its course could not be characterized as anything short of outrageous. did it emanate from a source of standing. or recognized posi tion in the community. About Telephones. Over 280.000 telephones are in use in the United States. and 5000 are added to the number every month. The funda mental features are the same as establish ed by Gray. Bell and Edison. Lines are constantly lengthening. Moat New Eng land towns are now connected with one another. and the time is thought to he not very distant when New York will he able to talk directly to Chicago. The capital stock of the various telephone «companies aggregate saomnmm. Every telephone. it is thou ht, gives enlyloy ment to one person. l'l‘he tlrst telephone company. known as the Gray and Barton (hanpany, hogan operations in 1869. It had a oanital of 52000. From this sprang the Western Electric Company, with a capital of 8105 A“), which has since been increased to $1,000,000. It has manu favtories ot Boston. New York. Chicago, Indianapolis. Detroit and Antwerp in Belgium.» _ a The American Speaking Company. which was organized under Gray's pa tents. was eonmlidated with the Bell Company after long litigation. the latter buying all the lines. instruments and agreeing to pay a royalty on each instru ment then in use or to be afterwards manumetured without regard to the pat cuts. The Gray Company at present has an income of 20 per cent as the result of this arrangement. which amounts to smwm. The entire income of the com pauy. therefore, is $1.5(Xl.000. From Gray‘s patents 85,500.00“ has already been realized. Nearly all of thew great results have been accomplished within the last six years. No longer age than 1876 persons were selling in the streets the toy called the "lover’s telegraph." which consirted at two tin c'uts connect ed by a string. by means of which conver nation might be heard two or thne hnn dred feet. Now the human voice can he heard a hundred miles. and conversation will doubtless soon be carried on over lines five or six hundred miles in length. I'he Americars have generally adopted 'e‘e ihonee, Thire are few ct ti 0 larger vill mes that have not one or two. Con nection with towns oti' telegraph lines is generally maintained by telephone. Eng lanclJiowt-Vver. has been slow to adoit the instrument. It is little and outeitlle the lame cities. and there are said to be more telephones in some of the minor American towns than in all of England. SHIPPING NEW’S.

This vu sel was the very (me npon which Na poleon Bonaparte embarked to return to France from his memorable expedition to Egypt at the close of the last cen tury. I‘he Mairon has for some years been used for the police service of the port. That the career of a vessel with the articular associations mentioned shoufl have been finally closed on tle very day that England planted her foot so firmly in Egypt, is regarded as a cu~ rioas Coincidence. The disaster is at trihnted to the vessel having been struck a fmv days before by lightning. She wentdown in five minutes. The small crew and the prisoners on board had a narrow escape. 'l‘ur: ('ourier in speaking of the nom ination of U. M. Bradshaw, for prosecu ting attorney for this district. says: “Hon. 0. M. Bradshaw, of Port Town send. in the nominee for prosecuting at torney in the third judicial district. and the republicans of the lowvr Sound have shown great wisdom in their choice. As a lawyer he has had great experience, both as a prosecutor and for the defense in criminal cases. and that the duties of the otiice will be performed by him with ability allwho know him will concede.

We hope the republicans may this time reward his lmthfulservices in the past by giving him a rousing majority. Bureau of Immigration. Poa'rLAND. 0.. July 20. 1882.
