Under the above head the San Francisco papers speak in plain terms in censure of Capt. Connelly, of the steamship Colorado, -which arrived from Hongkong, via Yokohama$ on the 19th, bringing an addition of nearly 900 ft the Celestial population to this Coast. And, as if this in itself was not bad enough, that dread ed scourge, the smallpox, had mani fested itself among the poor coolies during the voyage, its ravages having been allayed apparently but a few days before the vessel reached port. But notwithstanding this added cir cumstance to render the arrival an unwelcome one, the commander availed himself of the early hour at which he entered the Golden Gate to avoid the Health Ofiicer, and disre garding all the well-known health regulations of the port, actually took his vessel with its living cargo of in fected Chinese to the Pacific "Mail Company's wharf, thus imperiling the health of the entire community. This glaring violation of law and utter contempt of the health ordi nances and regulations of the port were promptlj' reported to the Board of Health when that body very prop erly ordered legal proceedings to be commenced at once against both the commander of the ship and 'the Pa cific Mail Company. It is hoped that these proceedings will be vigorously prosecuted, and that the utmost pen- alty will be inflicted. The present j will remain until some proposed im conditionof our laws unfortunately provements at Tokes Point Light permits of no punishment for the j 10use are completed, lie is a very persistent introduction of moral dis- j companionable gentleman, and we ease brought to our shores in theso j slinll be pleased to receive visits from ship-loads of heathen Chinese and j purchased slaves ; but when to that unpunishable offense is added an other, lighter in reality, but which the laws do recognize as an offense, and one which, m its consequences to the communitv, may be verv serious, doing more for the interests of Eastern j. . ,-,, i. i,l Oregon than anv other paper in the State, there should be no leniency extended, j Tl lmv(, f-i(jnd orla !.elalivc in that The Pacific Mail Steamship Com- section of this, countrv, bend him the pa- pany, in defiance of the universal p'er lria- 0nl' ne dolhu' for lb;,r 1 " i months. sentiment of all reputable, intelligent ' j and christian citizens of this coast, I 2n:s. persists in deluging us with Asiatic degredation, vice and miiciy Tliere is no lav to prevent this, and as it is a j , profitable business for thi: poulless cr- KEW TO-DAY. poration thev follow it "vritli all thei.T . , . : ' " 7VIED enterjmse they can connnand. rc- " "" ciscly as Eastern shiinasters of a I A girl to do general liou-c work. century ago followed the African slave ! .JjLJ!!: 3Ius DAGGETT'S. tr.ide in defiance of the better senti- T OST. ment of the country.

I,,-,..! . place of printing on tlie Pacific coast Oregon City vraning on the Cciiten- nial year of Ainerican independence, but the following from tlu Enterprise yesterday, sliows that the people there must not slumber if; they pro,ose to prosper. The Enterprise saya: f0re - gonclty has sustained another blow aimed av her material -prosperity, by the taking off of the steamer E. N. Cooke, which has ; plied Ween here and Portlana. .Un lro:n tune ,n- memorial o;ir citizens nave had daily connection with tiie metrojiolis by boat, which has been of great benefit to the commnnity and lus beenexcln- sivcly patronized by out; freighters while the travel has" been more even - 3y divided between the railroad and steamboat. It behooves us as citizens tcf see to it immediately, tliat a boat built by the citizens for this trade shall v . - attoce 02 commexiceii and sustained, as the convenience of shippers not to say the danger of being harmed by inimicaMreight tariffs by the power ful corporations that are seemingly to control the transportation routes here8 after demand that each business man and property holder shall con jointly take steps to protect these in terests now seemingly in peril. We understand it is the intention that the boats of the 0. S. IS". Co. line will touch here occjisionally when ther are hailed, but no spasmodic service every second or third day will answer. "Here is a town with two of the largest flouring mills in the State hav ing a capacity of sixty tons of freight per day. A woolen mill, whose freightage will also count considerable; the tub factory and the Alden Fruit Drying Company, all adding their quota to business, besides the numer ous extensive orchards between here and Portland, and the Oswego Iron "Works whose manufacture ar"reiites ten tons per day, counting all these streams of commerce, it appears plain to us that there would be no difficul ty in sustaining a daily service be tween here and Portland; the inter est of our city demands it, and a lit tle conjoint effort on the part of our citizens will secure it for us, beyond a doubt. The Centennial year must not usher in the era of Oregon City re trocession and decay, unless it is con fessed that all ambition and enterprise have died out from among her cit izens." C. "W.
