FRIDAY APRIL 25, 1879.
CHIKP MOSES o Tr.
Chief Moses, who has been for some
months past ia Washington, has suc
ceeded in getting a large -eaervation
set aside for himself anil Lin eople ilk
Washington Territory. Au agreement
lias becu made with the Indians' by
which the surrender, the lands heroto
fofii occupied by them in Washington
Territory, and accept a reservation set
apart for them by the executive ordor
adjoining and west of the Colville res
toration, iu the northwestern part of
the territory. This reservation ia a
large one, larger than the Yakima res
ervation in the same territory, which
contains 800,000 acrec. It runs north
word to the British possessions, west
ward to the 41th parallel, southward
along the Mothaw river, and eastward
to the Colville reservation.
A good deal of the land contained in
it is mountainous ; ' but other laige
tracts of JuuJ are well watered and
well adapted for agricultural purposes.
The reservation abounds in game and
fish. Its immense size fits it to sup
pott other Indians than the 2,000 or
thereabouts whichpnder the present
arrangement, will go there as sooa as
possible with Moses. It is therefore
agreed that such other friendly Indians
as desire to settle there permanently
may be permitted to do so. The reser
vation is likely, consequently, in ac
cordance with the government policy of
consolidation, to become the receptacle
of shattered ends ef northern tribe of
Indians without reservations and In
dians on reservations whos removal
-nay become a necessity. In eonnec
ion with the agreement with Moses it
may be mentioned that an arrangement
..is also been made with the Umatillas
!i:tt will result in settling the troubles
d nestions that have arisen between
in and the whites.
The telegraph reports Moses as being
nighly elated at the agreement wjiich
has bee j reached. THe says : "When
I go back I will be a bigger Indian than
ever before."
THE CataST HESACEKIC
The preparations for the Grant ex
cursion to California are now nearly
couiplets-d, and those Republicans who
are exacted to contribute their mite to
defray the expenses of the big show
can now Lave the gratification of know-
iug somthing f the extent and cost of
the trip. To accommodate the exten
sive menagerie the railroad companies
have furnished on hundred sleeping
Ialace-cars, besides special trains at
nearly every point. The cavalcade
will pass en route to the Pacltic, where
it will arrive abont the ruidJ'e of Au
gust. Of course the excursion will
a .Tor J a harvest to the railroads, who
regard it somewhat in the light of the
"Greatest Show on Earth," or some
such ma naze rial concern, ou a scale of
unusual magnitude, anal are willing to
accommodate their rates in pre)ortien
to the number of animals carried.
All this parade of greatness and
manufactured popularity is exceedingly
fuUnme to American citizens, to a large
majority of whom the name of Grant
is s-nonvrnous with whatever is dis
honest and immoral in our national
politics. Ne one possessing self-respect
and a regard for the future welfare of
his country eon Id nnite in these laada-
tions to a man who, during his official
career, did more by his own notorious
example, and by tolerating others
equally corrupt, to degrade our political
system and destroy our repute as" a na
tion than any of his predecessors in the
chair of Washington. Ooe such lesson
ou;lit tt Kiiffiie fur a g-uerstia, at
least. . . .

The Kansas people aro cursing the
Radical policy which induced,thousHnds
of Southern negroes to emigrate to that
State. This schema was gotten up by
the Republican Committee at Wash
ington in the hope that enough colored
men mar leave their old homes to re
duce the basis of Southern representa
tion in Congress. The "solid South" is
a political fact that opjKtses a fatal ob
stacle to the continuance of the Repub
lican party in power. It is natural
that they should seek to got rid of it.
Accordingly they encourage tho negro
hegira, and whether the poor African
thrives or perishes is of small uccouut
to them. Cut the Kansas puopte, who
are scarcely recovered from the grass
hopper plague, and who now have these
countless hordes of destitute and help
less creatures quartered upon them, are
protesting against the indignity iu tin
measured terms, insisting that the Na
tional Radical managers must either
remove them from the borders of
"Bleeding Kansas" or else provido for
their maintenance. Even the Republi
can Congressmen from Kansas denounce
this scheme of the Chandler-UarGuld
"National Emigration Aid Society,"
declaring that '.the negroes are not
wanted in their State, aud those who
have stimulated and encouraged their
emigration have acted heartlessly cruel.
The. warm climate aud rich soil of
the South afford the best hemes aud op
portunities for the negroes, and there,
among their old masters, they are more
kindly treated than they ever would be
elsewhere, and there they should lm al
lowed to remain, unless they choose to
remove without being influenced by
illful misrepresentation and down
right lying. When will those simple
minded and confiding people get their
eyes open I When will they begin to
learn that the Northern Radicals do not
care a straw about them, and that they
only keep up the race agitation for
party purpose and selfish ends 1
Will they never learu who their true
friends are until theso abolition, mis
cegenation, colonisation, iuigration

- There was a newly-married couple on

and when the tug-boats came alongside
to rescue passengers the husband sprang

GREAT MARINE DISASTER!
Loss of the Steamship Great Republic.
THIRTEEN PERSONS DROWNED 1
1 in men so Lost of Freight.
We have now to record the most
feurful marine disuster which has oc
curred in Oregon waters since the loss
of tho ill-fated " Brother Jonathan,"
some fourteen years ago.
Lust, Sunday tho startling rumor
reached this city that tho Opposition
Stentnship.Great'Republic, en route from
San Francisco to Portland, was wrecked
on Sand Island, in tho mouth of the
Columbia, just after crossing the Har,
and subsequent intalligonco proved the
iuinful rumor to be true.
It appears that the vessel arrived off
the Dar on Friday evening, and the
weather being calm and pleasant the
Captain concluded to go on in during
the night, and the pilot was given
charge of the vessel Having safely
passed the ltar and entoied tho South
channel, and whilo on her counto, in
comparatively smooth water, and com
ing to the end of the course opposite
tho foot of Sand Island, she failed to
make the abrupt turn necessary there,
tho pilot biing unable in the darkness
to see the beacon by which the vessels
are ordinarily guided. Capt. Carroll,
the commander of the vessel, said to
Pilot Doig, who was directing her
coutse at the time when the turn should
havo been made, "We are at the end of
this course." Doig responded, "no, we
are not; khu wants ono minute mora."
That minutn was fatal iu less than
thirty seconds her bows touched the
sands, and as her engines were driving
her ahead, she ploughed deep into the
treacherous shoals. The darkness was
intense and the title had lieen ebbing
t-o hours. After a lew itietruttHat
struggles to retreat tho vessel lay uutil
morning. She weut on drawing seven
teen feet of water anil could be ap
proached by tugs at low water near
enough to get out a line.
.-s too airnuueti vessel was only a
few miles from Astoria the news of the
disaster soon reached that city, and
everv available vessel was soon sent to
the scene of the wreck, and in a few
hours all of tb passengers some 1200
in number were safely brought off and
landed at Astoria. The first and c
oud officer and some 1 1 of tho ship's
crew, however, were drowned by the
swamping of a boat iu which they were
attempting to go ou shore. Threo men
clung to the boat and drifted ashore
with it. Seven hors.s reached the is!
and alive. There were 27 in all on
board. The ship was now going to
pieces, and breaking up vety fast. Her
mainmast fell during the night. Thi
engiues hail broken through the bilge,
and the ship listed seaward. Breakers
wer washing completely over her, and
oetiumg, lurniture, etc, wsHlnng up
with the surf on the beach.
At alsjut eight o'clock iu the morn
ing, at half tide, heavy swalls from the
southwest cuumcnwil to come in, and
soon lifted her stern, which still floated,
around to the northwest, presenting n
broadxidt to tha sea. Kadi swell ca
reened h-r over aud drove her higher
on the sands. On the receding of each
swell the weight of her immense 'hull,
machinery and cargo, drove her deeer
into the sands. She finally became a
total wreck, and Captain Carroll and
those of the crew who had lemainud
with him ami assisted in saving jwshpd-
gers, abandoned the magnificent vessel
to its fate aud went ou shore.
There .were several thousand tons of
freight on buard, which, together with
almost all rf the piMerig-r'j baggage.
was lost.
The passengers wore mainly i lit id t
grants, immt of whom are left i-Htiriilv
destitute by this sail disaster.
Capt. Carroll, of the wrecked steam
er, gives the following account of the
disaster :
" I grave the steamer ovor to Pilot Doig
at the automatic buoy at 11:30 Kridsv nlirht.
It was clear Ktarigbt, not a ripple on the
water, which was as smooth as a mill
pond. We came In over the bar on a alow
bell all the wsy ; crossed tho bar all rip lit,
reach inn the inside booy la safety. Tha
first ami third ofneers, freight clerk and
my sol f were on lookout. I had a pair of
glasses and was the first to discover Hand
Island, and found bearings all right. I re
ported Hand Island to tne pilot, lie had
not seen it. We run along probably two
minutes, and then I told the pilot that I
thouaht we were getting too close to the
island, and that I thought he had better
hnil her up. lie replied, "I think we are
hot in far enough." A minute after I told
him to " port your helm, and pot it hard
aport, as I think you are getting too near
the island." lie made no reply, but run
along about nvo minutes. Than be put
tfie helm bard aport, The vessel swung
up, heading toward Astoria, but the ebb
caught her on the starboard bow and, be
ing so much nearer the island than be ex
pected, set ber en tne snit. Shu went on
so lightly than only a few knew it; but as
the tide was falling we had no chance to
get the vessel off that night. Next tide on
Saturday morning was a small one, and
wb were still unable to get off. The bar
ometer was going down, indicating a storm.
I sent Mr. Peck, the purser, in a small
bsat to the Can by in a small boat for as
sistance and boats to remove the passen
gers. The tugs Bronham and Can by ar
rived and sent small boats to the steamer
immediately for the transfer of passen
gers, which wat done by means af small
Mats."
Various opinions are expressed as to
the cause of the disaster, some blaming
the Captain for attempting to cross the
Bar and running the narrow channel at
night, but the general sentiment is that
the pilot was either grossly remiss in
his duties and criminally negligent, or
else was hired to do this dirty job by
the old steamship line. However, as a
thorough investigation is to be made 3
to tke cause of the misfortune, we sus
pend judgment until the truth is devel
oped. Beorsen's comet is coming.
