ASTOPwIA. OREGON:
.. C. IRIjAXI Editor.
THURSDAY Oct. 18, 1ST?
George 31. Pinney.
It is not often that the Commercial
Herald and Review stirs up a matter in
San Francisco without some good "re
sults. It says: "Almost every day
the people of this city are insulted by
the presence on the street of a man
whom the law has consigned for safe
keeping within the walls of a prison.
There is not even the shadow of war
rant in law for the action of sheriff
Nunan in permitting George M. Pin
ney the liberty of the city under charge
of a Deputy. Said Pinney has been
surrendered by his bondsmen, and it
would puzzle the shrewdest barrister
to state by what authority Mr. Nunan
lias usurped to himself the responsi
bility of standing his bail without the
formality of giving bonds. The sheriff
has no more right to take a prisoner
from jail at his request, and grant him
all the privileges, than any other citi
zen. The statutes are clear on this
point, but Mr. Nunan seems to think
that they were passed for him, and
that he can override them at pleasure
by virtue of his official position. Every
time that George M. Pinney is per
mitted to promenade the city, with or
without an accompanying ofliccr, the
sheriff is guilty of countenancing an
escape, and is impeachable for so do
ing, while George M. Pinney is liable
to arrest as an escape, and immedi
ately remanded to the jail where he
properly belongs until released by due
process of law. The sherilf and his
deputies are salaried officers, and if
Mr. Nunan has one that he am spare
as Pinney's peripatetic keeper, Mr.
Nunan has one deputy too many.
Furthermore, George M. Pinney is
under indictment by the United States
grand jury, and is properly in custody
of the United States Marshal, who has
surrendered him to the keeping of
Nunan for the apparent purpose that
he may be most leniently dealt with.
We now strenuously protest against
any further flaunting of so gross an in
sult, and so total a. disregard and con
tempt for law on the part of the offi
cials specified. "
We think that perhaps after this
Mr. Pinney will keep his place, or
sheriff Nunan will miss his o n, as he
should.
A Seattle 7iew. The editor of
ilie Seattle Intelligencer "braved the
dangers of Columbia bar" on his trip
to Erisco recently because fare w:ts
cheap. If it had not been for the
cheap fares he'd not risked his life
here, not much; but fare is. cheap and
people will rush into danger for about
$15 a head. lie lived to reach 'Erisco,
and wrote home that he was rather
disappointed in the showing of Astoria
as a city. "Can rest assured that it
is not the chosen site of destiny; all
that has been said to the contrary, not
withstanding. People will not delib
erately choose to settle in any great
numbers to live and enjo life in a
spot where mountains are piled on
mountains, and there is hardly ilat
land enough to level a billiard table
on, even allowing that some way have
a fancy to dwell in a perpetual drizzle
of rain In the wheat trade Astoria
has hardly realized her anticipations.
The grain still ilows up the Wallamet
to Portland, and still the little British
iron ships, not bigger than some of
our three masted schooners, work their
way up that classic stream to receive
it. They take on what they can carry
over St. Helen's bar, and then drop
dowii to Astoria to finish loading from
lijjhters. But for ail that, the expenses
of this route are so great that a great
deal of the Oregon export is carried
.down to San Francisco by the steam
ers, juid is thence shipped acivss the
s-ea. San Francisco has an open seat
purl, which admits the passage of
large vessels without danger or diffi
culty. After leaving Astoria we man
aged to drop over the "finest bar in
t.ne world" without delay, but 011I3
a scratch, for we only got fairly over
when it breeze 1 up and blew great
guns. By Friday afternoon, though,
ihe wind turned in our iavor and Sun-
day
noon found us along side the
in 'FriscG."
The Market "street savings bank 1
oan 1 ran Cisco couapseu on me iuui.
Ed. W. Stoughton, an old Stnrgis
lawyer (tillicum) is booked for the
English mission.
A new territory (Huron) and a
branch mint at Omaha, are talked of
in the extra session.
The Sioux Indians have been
quietly removed, in accordance with
the wishes of the Government.
Grant says he would rather be
President than perform the labor of
accepting the hospitality of friends
over there.
Tee President in his message to
the extra session of Congress, saj'B
the session was to finish the work of
the last session, make an appropria
tion for the army, etc. His style sug
gets that an appropriation had best be
made quietly.
The fuss in Turkey is about as
bad and barbarous as ever. Gen. La
harofT, behind AladjaDagh to Alivia
hill and Yesi Hov. telegraphed from
Bazardjik begging for assistance, as
Mukhtar Pasha was before him with
a superior force.
Hetiued. We regret to learn that
our old friend M. P. Bull, in conse
quence of ill health has been compell
ed to withdraw from the newspaper
business in eastern Oregon.
The Sunday Law. The great ma
joritr of stores and saloons were closed
in Portland last Sunday, the Standard
says: "In consequence of xhe recent
action taken by some of our leading
retail merchants and the fact that men
, , , . i . .i i i!
have been deputed to watch and report
all those who persist in violating the
Sabbath law. We emphatically en
dorse this move, and those who have
taken the matter in hand will sec to
its enforcement. It is hardly fair to
discriminate in half a dozen cases and
permit the others to make money at
. . T .. . . -,i
their expense. Let it be general, ana
give clerks and others an opportunity
to rest and enjoy themselves at least
one da' in seven."
A Sad Misfoktuxe. Hon. Joseph
Foster, of King county, Washington
territory, who has so long and accept
ably represented his constituents in
both Houses of the territorial legisla
ture, has recently sustained a terrible
misfortune. Shortly after leaving
home for Portland, says the Dispatch,
lie wjis hastily summoned back by a
telegram from his wife, informing him
of the dangerous illness of his child
ren with diptheria, and soon after his
return his second oldest child, Kosctta
Jane, a bright little girl of 9 years,
was earned off" by the fell destroyer,
and was buried on Monday last. The
two other children also contracted the
disease, and to-day the sad news was
brought in that they too had perished
Charles, the eldest, aged 32, and
Emity, aged 4. To add to the misfor
tune, Sirs. Foster is also afflicted with
the malady, and is not expected to
recover.
Umatilla County. The East Orego
nian of the 13ht, says: "With jnide we
look upon the resources of this county.
From the state line near Walla Walla
for twent3r miles south, till yow strike
the Indian reservation, immense fields
of wheat have been grown, averaging
from 30 to 50 and as high :is 75 bush
els to the acre. About Weston the
country looks
wheat. The
like one vast iield of
threshers have been
busy, but rains have interrupted work,
though little loss will accrue to the
thrifty farming community still it
occasions delay, and time with this
class is money, still team after team
unloads at our worthy townsmen's mill
the golden wheat, which brings the
farmer 70 cents, a fair remuneration
for his toil, though we wish it was 90
ccntcj and one dollar a bushel which
it surely v.oubl be but for the land
and water locked country that ire live
in. When canals on the Columbia
arc open and the railroad is completed,
with our soil and climate, we expect
to compete with all the wheat growing
countries of the world. Wheat to-day
at Umatilla is 90 and 95 cents per
lnl...! l,t lo. 11- .? .-..,. t.L-

quently the Bycrs-Beagle-Liverinore
mill of this place must be run for th'e

ternal improvements will at last, we
I hope, make all tilings even."
