LZ3 Tri-Weekly Astorian ASTORIA, OBEGOR: X. C. IRELAND Editor. ASTORIA Jan; 20, 1874 SAXTO DOMIKGO. The revolution in Santo Doming 0 effectually puts a stop to the schre of Baez to sell that country "1T1"the American market for $1 000,000. There is no question but tht the un happy state of affairs ora the Island lias been brought abofc by corrup tionistsin the Unid States-who, combined togethr r for the purposes of speculation, ucceeded in captur ing Baez, Pre-ji(lent of the Republic, and found i A fam a mosfc despicable and plian' . tool for the furtherance of their 0 ejects. It is generally believ c nr j7 that Baez has been deposed; A he literally "got up and dusted" out Santo Domingo, on or about Friday before last, because of the pronunciamento of the Revolution ists, and the institution of a provis ional government with General Gon zales at the head of it. This proclamation is a famousdoc ument, and sounds so mijch like the .spirit of 1 76 in America, beforethis land was quite what itis at-present in hands of unscrupulous politicians, that we quote, a few paragraphs for our patriotic readers. The docu ment starts .out with the following .fundamental -truth: No revolution is unjust when it is mecessaryibr the welfare of its asso ciates .and .public security. "We, itherefore, aisown the Government of President Baez, because he has Mated the Constitution of the State ic. caeatly all of its parts, as we are itbout.to preve: Because he has be lieved -the Dominican .Republic to be 3iis patrimony, and that of his family :and desires .to impose upon us his re ,elecu2n, or.the.election.Qf Jtiis broth er Damien. Because ihe Ihas refused to throw open the doors of thecoun iry to more than 1,000 individuals., fathers of families, who have been for six years eating the bitter brad of ostracism as exiles. Because he maintains political prisons, filled "with so many of the unfortunates "who, without .the shadow of cause, :are suffering horrible penalties, while loaded with irons and deprived of all communication with their friends. Chained in dungeons thumid and loathsome, suffering the fury of Sail hapa, not knowing for how long this will remain. Even in defiance of public opinion have they been thus .imprisoned, without even a declara tion of charges having been made against them. Because of the em ployment of public funds not in ac cordance with law,- the country not even having any advice with regard to its investment. Because he has shed more blood, by the gibbet and upon the battle field, during the six years of his administration than all ".that has been crowded into the 20 years of this Republics existence, 'including the wars against Havti and .Spain. Because he has violated the Constitution in the following man ner: Article 3, prohibits the Sale or . annexation of any part of the Repub He, and he has for $1,000,000 offered the country for sale in ,the American market For these reasons, aad ma.v others .mentioned, and too numerous to mention,,,., the Doraiiaican people, represented by the provinces 4&f jQibao .District;, disown the authority of President Baez and hia Government. "We,, therefore declare .tfee power of Pjegident Baez void, and name jsl Committee of Public "Welfare, which e recognize as the Provisional Gcw iwnment: and we declare $the .accept .ance of the General and Lae-Presi-dent of the Republic as President 0 this Government until ihe Domini can people shall by a vote appoint de finitely a ruler; and we further de clare that we present, and an conse quence of which and by t&e sover eign will of the DeoDle. the Generals Ignacio M. Gonzalez and A. Cieares & candidates of the Cibao for Presi dency of the Republic. We further declare that we recognize no political party .as preferable, and that all offi ya.l employes of whatever position that .adhere to this movement in good aith shall remain by guarantee to ftU their respective positions. We .also .declare the absolute liberty of the Press. We admit that all indi viduals opposed to the revolution be permitted ,to pass without any fear whatever outside of our lines, provid ed they go without arms; but all of those wiio do not adhere to this edict will be unniediately executed, .as will ihso thu jyho conspire to take up m-iiis airulnst tli PrnViainnal GovorxL - ww.v4 w uin . u i.w.i.. r ia i :. intfi . 1. rr. riTi:4 I i.ii iciiiwi. .iiu n: u.

The Gens. Gregorio Luperon, Pe dro Antonio Pimentel and Jose M. Cabral musl remain in exile until re called by the Provisional Govern ment, who will do so when 'the wel fare of the country will admit Of it. For all other exiles the doors of the country are thrown open. Given at Puoito Plata, the 25th day of No vember, 1873, in tho 2l)th year of the inde pendence and tho 10th year of tho .Restora tion. (Signed), Remigio Batista, E. Ortea, and several hundred others. This looks " business-like ;" and, for Dominicans, the papers are pret ty well got up. Evidently no mod ern " melican man," of the Sam an a Bay Company, had anything to do with that part of it. The Cibao District embraces the most important and populous portion of the island, and all the principal inhabitants have pronounced in fav or of the Revolution giving official notice of their adherence. The is land is divided into three districts, the Santo Domingo or Southern dis trict; the Ceibo, or Eastern district, and the Cibao, or Northern and Cen tral district. The last named is en tirely and openly revolutionary, while Ceibo is known to be inclined torthe new Government, although it had. not declared itself at last advices. Gen.'Gicares, the Vice President un der Baezi he one who was named forthe office of Provisional President, five days after 'She proclamation was issued, published a teaid -stating 'fjh at hewished to retire'to 'his home and take no part in the affairs of the country; although at the same time Sit'is wTeli known that he secretly fav ors the revolution. When this card was published, the people unani mously declared in favor of Gonzales, who at once rissued a proclamation announcing " the formation of his Government. And, like the curly Maples of Oregon in Spring time, Baez quietly " packed his trunk. and prepared to leave." His hasty flight in a French Man-of-war a few days ago, announced to the public through a brief telegram to the Associated Press, tells volumes of his discreetness. From November 25 th till the 9th inst, (the date of his departure the temperature of Santo Domingo must have increased at a very gratifying ratify and the friends of liberty, the world over, will be glad to know that this arch traitor who would have disposed of his country, selling all to a lot of New York speculators for filthy lucre, has met with everlasting defeat, and the unhappy people are again at work with the hope of restitution and reparation, after six long, tedious fearful years of threatened ruin and .exile. We ihawe omitted several jiarts otthe .proclamation far want of sgace .to publish alL JDIKECT TRADE 3TU 3L Esctm tho Oregon Grange. Admitting the proposition th&t large ships can carry grain for a less freight than small .ones, it is clearly the duty of those thayiogsuch cargoes to furnish, vto secure .the carrying thereof at the lowest ,rate. And ia this it matters not whether dtjis-tfce producer of grain who charters ttio aaip., .or commission merchant who Lces it for him. The same obligation, abstractly, and in reality, rests upon eith er io do the best for the country, as well &s for themselves. If by chartering large vessels there can be a saving of twenty Cents per bushel ef fected on the entire crop of the State, there will be a cpnsequent increase of pro duction to an extent of at least a hunared old. J$ut those large ships can not get up the river to Portland, on account oi their draft of water, there being, as before shown, but seventeen feet ou the bar at the " hog's-back," and these larger class vessels draw on an average of twenty and a half feet. One of two things, then, must be done. "We must either dredge out the "Wal lamet and Columbia rivers to such a depth as to admit these vessels to Port land wharves, or wo must send our grain to a point below these obstructions in the river steamers that take it from the ware- oiihe on the margin of the interior streams, , , , ,. , , w . ana oy iigotew xrom tneraiiroaa depots, ust? rud.uce to the minimum, the trans- i portution charges. YVhichishall be done? yi ui;nu. uiuiit-y iu and after the Joss of so many years, and the: continual -outlay ot geenbacks, we find there is little, if any benefit resulting. If it was merely a question of depth of water in the channels above Astoria, the question would bs reduced down to the Bimple problem of whether the extra cost of lightering in steamboats from Portland to Astoria, vhen already on the steamers decks fresh from the warehouse above, over and above the cost of pilotage, tow age, and ddlay incident to the ships com ing from Astoria to Portland, would pay the interest on the cost of dredging the river, and create a sinking fund with which to discharge the debt, in say fifty years. Estimating the cost of the passage of a vessel up and down the river at four cents per bushel, as was established in a former article, the question would then be, can our grain be placed at Astoria for that, or a less price? There are responsible parties ready to enter into a contract, and give bonds to deliver the entire wheat crop of the Wal lamet valley, and all from up the Colum bia, in store at Astoria, from Portland, at three cents a bushel, free of wharfage, or storage, in Portland. Then there must be a gain of one cent a bushel in favor of shipment to Astoria, even if the bars of the Wallamet and Columbia were deep ened to the required depth. But recent experience proves that there are other reasons than the depth of water, why there should be established at the mouth of the Columbia river a depot for all of our surplus products. Within the past ten years the river has been closed three, if not iour times, from ice, and the entire commerce of the State locked up. The ever moving nature of trade cannot brook these hindrances. We buy to-day, expecting to sell to-morrow. The avenues of trade must ever re main ppen and free. Then there is but one thing to be done, namely, place our grain at the mouth of the Columbia river, and hold it for sale to the highest bidder. And right here permit us to say that Port land, as a part of Oregon, is just as deeply interested in this movement as Astoria or the farmers themselves. Portland is the commercial center ot the State, an'd.h&s become rich from the tolls on ingoing and outgoing merchandise and products. So it is with all other marts of exchange. Hen traffic and trade for money. The concentration of business creates wealth. The wealth of Portland can controrthe shipment of Oregon pro ducts, if a rational system is laid down and carried out. Let the class of ships that can be most advantaereouslv errmlov- ed in the exportation of our cram, be chartered to load at Astoria, and a proper system of river transportation be inaugu rated, and the producer ean realize San Francisco prices for his wheat at the mouth of the river, and the Portland op erators can control the export trade, by means of agencies at 'the point of ship ment, transacting thennonetary exchange as now, in Portland. With the iact once established that the exporting point for -the State should be Astoria, there would be a disposition on the part of Portland wealth to seek a new and legitimate investment for the surplus funds, m the way of manufacturing en terprises. This must be the main suyporfe of" the city in the near future, and tho sooner the fact is realized, and the worken tered upon, the better not only for Portland but for the entire State. There should be almost a continuous manufacturing city from Oregon City down the river Tanks on either bide, to the present city f Port land. .i&chool BookfL I Ihave lately re ceived all the difterenfrliinds of New-School Books reauired to be used'in this State, that can now be found in San iFrancisco.
