C. 1IMXAXB EDITOR MONDAY Juke 12. 1876. 77?e Fourth of July at Astoria. An enthusiastic meeting of patriot ic citizens of Astoria assembled at the Court-house Saturday evening, and resolved to celebrate the Fourth of July in a becoming manner. A committee of five was appointed on finances, consisting of Messrs. E. C. Holden, F. J. Taylor, N. Kofoed, F. Ferrell and Brenham Van Duseu. The celebration will correspond with the amount of money the committee succeed in securing. Mr. F. Ferrell was elected chairman of the meeting, and the meeting adjourned subject to his call. Money and the Presidency. Out of fourteen Democratic State Conventions, only one of them (Ohio) declared for soft money, and that with an increased Tehemence, if that be possible. The first Democratic State Convention that was held last month was that of Connecticut. It came out flat footed for hard money. Rhode sland followed suit in the same strain. Pennsylvania the habitat of nearly .all the economic errors, did not proclaim for paper. Indiana, to make matters sure, went for hard, soft and medium money i any can be devised. But the intention was to exhibit for the time a haid money tendency. Ne braska and New York pronounced for crold and silver unenmvocallv; ditto Nevada and Oregon; Iowa, hard mon ey with a qualification, and Massachu setts hard money without an if or hit. The platforms of several States have not come to hand, but enough is Imown to warrant the conclusion that hard money will be in a majority in the National convention. "Were it not for the famous Two-tliirds rule which is likely to be brought into op eration, it would be easy enough to cast its horoscope. But with that contingency hanging over the problem nothing can be predicted with certainty. The course pursued by Ohio is proof that the inflationists have not given up the fight by any means. They are gathering strength, and may through a minority by the rule in question, he enabled to dictate both the nomination and the platform. Roclujfort's present newspaper is apparently giving the authorities more trouble than did his famous Lanterne. Instead of pleading for the "rights of man," as the title of his new journal vould indicate, he seems to be raking up all the old grievances which he suf- ered during the Empire, and flagella ting without mercy all who have ever run counter to his wishes. From Olliv ier to Prince Pierre Bonaparte, from Thiers to McMahon, he pierces every one with Ids untiring free lance. His publisher has been repeatedly convict ed and fined, ana his editor imprison ed, but Rochefort is always invisible whenever sought for. Thos. J. Butler, of the Arizona Miner, says that Mat Bledsoe is not dead yet. He was loading mules in Prescot recently, and seemed to take great satisfaction in reading his obitu ary notices. It is not possible at this time to say positively what the political com plexion of the Oregon Assembly will be, Democratic, however, perhaps, on joint ballot, but with a Republican majority in the House. The gamblers are putting up bets on the nominations at Cincinati much after the style of bet& on a horse race. "Pools" stand as follews: Hartranft, 3G; Blaine 24; Conkling, 14; field, 4 In some instances "Washbume was sold at a low fiscure. Bishop Morris will visit Astoria parish on the- third Sunday in July. ' ED7TOR ASTORIAN : Having but recently arrived in your thriving young-old city, and thinking that a few words in regard to the eastern standpoint upon the all absorbing Chinese question might not come amiss, I drop you this. I judge that some knowledge of the sentiments of the Eastern people is essential in successfully meeting this issue, as from what I hear, the aid expected in settling the question is from Congrestional action and Con gress is entirely easternin sentiment. Not knowing any of the iniquities of the coolie system, and unaware, also, of the detrimental effects to white men on the Pacific slope by the introduction of Chinese labor, the Eastern people found their opinions upon the dollar and cents view tak ing into account cheapness of labor only. The farmer, in the Mississppi valley, when harvest crowds upon him, and hands are scarce, thinks of the cheapness of Chinese labor and wishes John Chinamen would come that way. Looking up the subject in that light, the eastern man hearing the distant rumbling of the great up rising on the Pacific coast in regard to this nefarious traffic in human labor j'clept Chinese immigration, thinks " well that is some remnant of that old coast institution" Vigilance Committee, and is not worth con sidering. This is exactly the feeling in the East and it is this feeling that must be met in any petition for ale viation from Congress. If Congress does anything it will be when they are convinced of the necessitv for action, by the calm and decided movement of the whole Pacific coast; backed up by dignity and determin ation that will carry conviction with it. Allow me to digress one moment from John the Chinaman, to the more patriotic theme of Fourth of July celebration. I had the pleasure of attending the preliminary meet ing last Saturday evening, and must say that the enthusiasm evinced was gratifying. It certainly promises a rousing celebration which should be the case on this Centennial 'ear. Allow me to suggest that your orator of the day be selected early, and that he be one of your old citizens, so that he can prepare a thorough history of the city of Astoria and Clatsop count' as a part of his oration, according to request of the Centennial managers. Pjjo Bono Publico. The cargo of the bark Dawn, which left Astoria for San Francisco last evening was a valuable one, con sisting of salmon, flax-seed, and scrap iron, valued at 52,187 G5. Colvig, operator at Payallup has come on to the "Western Union line between Astoria and Kalama, as a re lief for Thompson, foreman of the work of- construction.

High water in the Columbia river above Cathlamet is seriously interfer ing with business. Several of the wharves are under water, including La Du's, Oak Point, Kalama, etc. At Rainier part of Jackson & Myer's packing establishment is- submerged, but does not seriously incommode work. J.
