SATURDAY Nov. 10, 1S77
TELEGRAPHIC.
NEWS OF THE MORNING.
The Times makes the New York
legislature stand 16 republican on joint
ballot.
The New York Sun says the re
publicans have a majority in the Penn
sylvania senate.
Evarts is non-committal on wheth
er Col. Ingersoll has been offered the
German mission, but the report is
credited.
The Inter-Ocean's Washington
special says: The secret lias leaked
out that the senate election committee
will adopt Morton's report seating
Kellogg, and the democrats will bring
in a minority report in favor of Spof
ford. The northern line steamer Alex.
Mitchell sunk four miles below Keo
kuk, Thursday. She struck a snag
and went down in half an hour, the
water coming two feet above the decks.
All of the 75 passengers got off safely,
but some 200 tons of freight was dam
aged. The same boat sunk near Bur
lington in August last.
Pacheco's bill for the sale of tim
ber lands exempts from its operations
all lands containing minerals and all
settlers' improvements. It also re
serves all bona fide, rights already at
tached under United States laws, and
in regard to lands hereafter surveyed
gives actual occupants prior opportu
nities for purchase before offering the
lands for public sale.
The Sitting Bull commissioners
returning to Fort Benton from Fort
Walsh, took passage in Mackinac boats
to make the journey down the Mis
souri, had a hazardous trip on account
of the impending probability that the
river would freeze and pen the party
in above Fort Buford. They arrived
at th6 latter place, however, on the 2d
inst., having completed the entire dis
tance of G70 miles in 10 days. The
day after their arrival the liver froze
over, and from Buford to Bismarck
the journey "was made overland in am
bulances. The World says in New York the
democrats, while they denounced the
methods by which Hayes was installed,
not only approved his policy, but in
an address to the state committee
"wisely made that approval an issue in
the elections. The republicans re
fused to endorse the title of their own
president, paid problematical compli
ment to his southern policy and vehe
mently opposed his civil service reform.
Moreover, the leader of the party in
New York made his canvas in avowed
personal hostility to the administra
tion. The democrats hold the state-
The New York Herald says Hayes
and his republican friends are very
well satisfied with the result of the
election. The administration has come
off a great deal better than its enemies
expected, but it is claiming rather
more than the facts warrant, when it
lays down so broad a rule as that the
success of the republican party in each
state was in projortion to endorsement
of President Hayes. We don't be
lieve that the republicans lose much in
New York or New Jersey by their
shabby course towards the administra
tion. .The New York and New Jer
sey elections afford no special reasons
for either congratulations or regrets by
the administration. The republican
party, however, is entitled to feel
some satisfaction that its unfortunate
intestine quarrel did not sensibly
weaken it in either of these states.
The result in Massachusetts may be
fairly regarded by the friends of the
president as a signal endorsement.
The War in the East.
Standard writers vary widely with
respect to the causes and results of the
war in the east. In explanation some
will tell you that it is a war for the
benefit of Christianity; some make
equally as good arguments to prove
that the acquisition of territory is at
the bottom of it; others assert that it
is purely of a commercial nature. That
Russia desires only that she have un
disputed passage through the Bosphor
u sand Hellespont, to compete with
other nations in the shipment of pro
ductions. Russia has no mercantile
marine, but is well supplied with iron
clads, and if Johnny Bull was not so
backward in announcing his position
on the situation we might conclude
that perhaps he was not afraid of those
iron clads let loose. The operations
of the Russians before Plevna, in
Turkey, and the late fall of Erzeroum
in Asia Minor, show that they do not
propose to Tield to the Turks at pres
ent. The United States is apparently
a silent, spectator, but if the Russians
carry the forts on the Bosphorus, and
compel Turkey to grant them free and
uninterrupted transport from the
Black sea by that route, it will have
an effect upon future prices of wheat
in the united kingdom of Great Brit
ain from the Pacific coast.

avenue to approach the Captain on that subject
by outsiders being zealously guarded by the toters
and wire-pullers of the ringleavesno alternatives,
but. for ttio Captain suutuiskively to accept the
conditions held out by tueiu.
But 1 will here take the liberty to state, for the
special benefit of ship Masters, and 1 am able to
prove my assertion, that 1 can have to any bhip
Caplaiu or owner the round sum of three hun
dred and four dollars in U. y gold coin, on every
l.Ouu tons of wheat or Hour that may go into their
bhips here at Astoria, and if ship Masters cuose to

Under the present system of employing steve

point out their man Jack, and the Captain ih of
necessity compelled to accept the conouious Held

tender solicitude exhibited towards the Captain,
in order to guatd and protect him from all dan

but three hundred and lour dollars on every
1.1WU tons can be deducted from any ships ex
penses in the port of Astoria by my system of
stevedoring, which otherwise goe into thecapa
cious pockets of the so-called Portland boss-rigger
and stevedore. But I'll here trespass on your
patience and venture to remark, and I'll back my
opinion atauy time or place. thai neither of the
parties, demonstrating themselves riggers, and
palm themselves otf as such, possess the ability to
even rig a plunger or cut a toot rope for a royal
jard, tar less rig a ship. 1 make this assertion be
cause lam positive ot what lsay or apeak, hav
ing been both in ports of the Atlantic states, on
the Pacific coast and tor a matter of ten years on
the Columbia river engaged in stevedor ns my
self, and consequently am pretty well posted as to
the abilities ot most men in that particular
branch ot business around here, having had am
ple opportunities to test them all; toe parties re
tcrrea to mar be able to cross top-gallant yards
with pipe-stems, but never did nor never wU
know iiow to cut a bet ot rigging for. or rig a ship.
As regards the loading ot snips, 1 can here sure
ly state, and defy any one to contradict it, that
alter deducting tho labor bill from tue turn total
agaiust every 1.0UU tons at Portland rates and
charges; three hundred and four dollars pass in
to the hand of the boss-rigger and stevedore as a
consideration for the Ufce ot iiis schuts. ten dollars
worth ot lumber, wnich may be brought into re
quisition for fifty sbijis without deteriorating a
particle of thir original value. Three hundred
and lour dollars, for eery twenty hoars work or
use of their scftuts to slide some sacks on, is
pretty good merest ou ten dollars of capital in
vested, why. it Knocks bpots off all your bonanza
mines and stockbroking speculations in America.
But what surprises otic most is how ship Cap
tains will permit themselves to be bamboozied
and iloeced by a setot oily tongued sauciimoJious
humbugs ratuer than deal witti square matter of
fact men. lean prove my ability and competence
of being thoroughly conversant with the busi
ness 1 reter to, and prepared to prove to any
ship Captain how and in what manner I can re
duce their stevedore bills to the amount of the
above mentioned figures, and load their ships
with equal dispatch, promptness and precision s
any Portiaud stevedore, provided Captains chose
to consult me on the subject.
