CZ3 Ti-Wekly-Astprian ASTORIA, OREGON:, ' It. C. HtEI-AXD Editor. TUESDAY. Oct. 21, 1S73 3IAIL. FACILITIES. Proposals are about to be invited for carrying the mail between Asto ria and Portland, beginning with Ju ly 1st 1874. It is however put on the old sche dule of tri-weekly. We had hoped that v;lten the new contract should be let it would he for a daily mail, and we cannot now see why this part of the State should be so little observed by those whose duty it is to see that the State is provided with all things necessary for her prosper ity. The lower Columbia is fast settling up 'Capital is being brought in and a large trade arising, requiring daily communication -with the business centres and the telegraph. Ships ar rive consigned to houses in Portland but desire to see their agents perhaps before going interior. Vessels going out come down to Astoria to complete cargo and after loaded the master re turns to Portland, to settle up ac counts. 'With a tri-weekly commu nication to Portland one day at least and may be two days are lost. Delays to shipping are of great injury to the country, not only is there an extra expense incurred but ship owners are discouraged, and tlie effect is to retard our shipping interests. As there is a daily mail from Portland to Kalama, half way, it would not be a very great additional expense to extend a daily line to Astoria. The mail was carried daily through the past Summer, but was at the op tion of the mail carrier and ceased when other business changed. AVe hope postal' agent Underwood will take this matter in hand and have it corrected. There is a daily mail through to the sea board of "Washington Territory, and it is a shame that Orcron should be with out such communication to her en trance from the sea. No wonder Oregon is like a back-woods State, and pays tribute to her sister States and Territories, instead of conducting commerce on an equal footing with them. The Steamer North Pacific has been laid up for repairs for the first time since she came to the Sound. She has made 239 round trips to Vic toria, making a total of 77,814 miles; 1,1 o4 miles on extra trips to Seattle; MO miles from San Francisco, and 400 miles with E. E. Directors, in all 80,348 miles, in something over 418 days. Dave Kalakana is the Kanaka who chips in for King Lunalilo's seat. j teuuing uie accounts oi ins " mus- ters'' at the barracks one might sup pose him to be as adipose as old Jack Falstaff, and his recruits about as im pecuniously clothed, but we are told he is lean, and the recruits don't need any clothing. Josh Billings and the Danbury man ought to be sent to the Sandwich Islands to write a history of the late "Revolution among the natives." ri he days of that effete kingdom are undoubtedly numbered, and it is but a question of time what protectorate tfhall gain-"ascendency over those Isles of the Sea. Kanakas, over at Honolulu, have a superstition that when a certain sort of fish appear in the harbor at 3 lonolulu it is a sui'e indication of the death of the Chief. The fish appear ed last month but the Chief would not die. They are hunting other fish now. The eloquent and interestinjr address of Hon. S. F. ChndwinV j made in Salem at the laying of the Capitol Corner Stone, is. being prin ted .in pamphlet form for general distribution. The doom of bronze as a material for rifled guns is scaled. It's a pity, for the brass cannon shone so prettily in thesun, adding so much to the attractiveness' of military pageants. arOXETARY. From the Snn Prancisco Commercial Herald . "After a storm comes a calm," and the present condition of Wall street goes to show that this adage is as applicable to finances as to any thing else. The panic served' to il lustrate several points that are worthy of note. Secretary .Richardson has long laid under the imputation of claiming the right to issue the S44,- 000,000 of reserves held by the gov ernment. It has also been alleged that he would exercise that right should occasion present itself. The opportunity came and went, but Mr. .Richardson positively refused to is sue any portion of the reserves, offer ing as a reason, that in his opinion, such an act would be in contraven tion of law. This seems to settle the question so far as the Secretary is concerned. It is trueT that in a, book published by him in 1872, he did ar gue that the Treasury Department was authorized to increase the vol ume of greenbacks to $400,000,000, and that the present circulation be ing only 356,000,000, it was optional with the Secretary to issue the re maining 44,000,000 whenever he should deem it advisable; but his em phatic refusal to make that issue, at a poriod of great and general finan cial distress, leads to the conviction that his views have undergone a rad ical change. It is also clear that President Grant considers there is no warrant for the issuance of the reserves, unless for war purposes, or "for the payment of the army and navy and other creditors of the gov ernment, as prescribed by the law of March 3, 1S63. When Yanderbilt so generously offered to loan 10,000, 000, if the government would place 40,000,000 into the hands of private individuals; he was simply pleading for Yanderbilt. A glut of paper mon ey is just what he wants. It would 'lead to all sorts of stock gamblings, speculations, and "wild cat" oper ations which he knows so well how to manage. If Yanderbilt really de sired to do the amiable, he could have loaned Jay, Cooke Co. a few millions before hand, and so have prevented the panic. His motives were unequivocally selfish. Eeverdy Johnson also believed it a good op portunity to work up a little popular it'. While with one breath he de clared it unlawful to issue the reser ves, for the purpose of stopping the panic,-with another he 'adjured the President to violate that law, under the sophistical plea, that the extreme law of public safety would be suffici ent warrant for the act. Yanderbilt and Johnson have both shown how completely void they are of moral scruple, and how unsafe it would be to trust them wjth power. The un scrupulous selfishness of some New York operators has been also most prominently demonstrated by the panic. It is stated on good authority, that a "Wall street clique availed of the opportunity to lock up green backs to the extent of fifteen millions. Those men are not overburdened with concience. They would grow rich upon the ruin of their fellow be ings, and fatten on the life blood of the -widow and the' orphan. Like foul vultures they revel in the cai nage of a battle field. They may flourish for a while, but they can not escape the doom of public scorn and detestation which they have in voiced. It is, however, very grati fying to know that wo have men at the helm of Government who can not be cajoled or induced to commit gross public wrongs. If the Pres ident may use the resources of the Treasury fpr the relief of corporate bodies, he may, with equal justice, employ them for the relief nf i mliviii. .uals. Yanderbilt and Johnson Lnlrl that a man has a right to do whatever lie pleases, but as an Eastern contem porary aptly remarks, the fact is, " that no man, be he President or private citizen, may always do what he wants to."
