To-day we give place to two more communications upon the fish subject, and publish the bill heretofore referred to, as it passed the territorial assembly in the shap.; of a substitute for house bill No. 107, as introduced by the board of trade. We have no disposition to suppress correspondence on that important topic, but it seems to us that it would be strikingly apropos to compare this subject to Banquo's ghost, but for the fact that for more than two hundred years that poor ghost has had to bear the burden of being called analogous to every imaginable object of obstrucive tendencies, and in con sequence of our limited space we must close the columns of our paper to any more of it, for the present. RorAIiern Faeiiic Railroad. .Some'time since we mentioned the .condition on which aid should be given or extended to the Northern Pacific railroad company. Those con ditions were that the road should be built on the south side of the Colum bia; that money (not lands), should be .given; that the landsiiow held by the railroad company, along the line not built, should be relinquished im mediately and thrown open to actual settlers on the same terms as other government lands; and also that the company be required to build a branch to Astoria within a certain time. These were the conditions we men tioned, and now we see that Senator Mitchell is insisting or the same, with the exception of the branch to Astoria. That too should be included as one of the provisions. -For what will Ore gon be benefited by the Northern Pacific railroad of a terminus (not a station) is not made in Oregon? Our readers will bear in mind what we now say about this .matter and that is: That Oregon will rue the day (yes, and Portland will rue the day,) it even helped the Northern Pacific railroad to build up a ierminus out side of the State of Oregon, if such a tiling is done m this Congress. Petitions are now being circulated throughout the state asking Congress to give Oregon a terminus. Several hundred signatures have already been obtained and forwarded. If the N orthern Pacific railroad will not give us a terminus we must have that aid ve now askfor them for a local coni panytyhich will build it. We must have'that aid which the Oregon Cen tral company allowed to lapse. Views of si Patron. We make no apology, except to the writer of the following note, for the liberty taken upon ourself to publish the views of a patron with respect to the usefulness of Tre Astoiiian. Mr. Bensell is one of the representative men of Benton county, holds impor tant public trusts, and words of in dorsement such as this, from one such as him, without solicitation on our part, is duly appreciated by an over worked individual such as we are, and is earnestly commended to the perusal of readers of The Astoriax generally: Newport. Ya (i m na 1 J a y. November i.', 1877. J Friend Ireland: Enclosed find 3 for your paper. Send it to me regu larly. It stands next to the Oregoman for interesting news, particularly loc.il. You have made Astoria what it is, and are making a good fight for the inter ests of the State generally. Every man residing in Astoria, having at heart the future growth and prosperity of that city should contribute his mite rto maintain the present standard of excellent paper. Yours trnly, JR. A. Bensell. A tunnel has been sunk some tliing over one hundred feet into the coal vein near Columbia city. The quality of the coal found is said to be very good, something like the cannel coal of England. The farmers loan and trust com pany of New York are closing in on the Erie Railway Co, for interest amounting to $3,000,000 on mortga ges of $25,000,000 It looks as though the Erie was in a bad box. Compressed Beef. From the Portland Oregonian. Dr. A. C. Kinney has left at this office samples of compressed corned beef put up at the large establishment owned by M. J. Kinney & Co. Sam ples of the beef canned by the Wilson Packing Company, at Chicago, were also left here. In. appearance, flavor and delicacy of taste, it is almost im possible to distinguish any difference between the two brands. If there be any difference, it is in favor of the Oregon brand. It is claimed that the meat came from Eastern Oregon, (known as "bunch grass beef,") and is superior in nutrition and fineness of tissue to that which is raised in the east. The meat is put up in neatly labeled cans, hermetically sealed, and retains its sweetness of flavor for a long time. This is one of the most useful industries of the country, and it is to be hoped that the enterprise may meet with that measure of finan cial success which it deserves. Learning that the crops of a mem ber, whose entire family were -prostrated by sickness, were Jikely to be lest for want of gathering, the Good Templars of Starrsville,S. C, to the number of eighty, turned out and, by a single day's hard work, saved the re3uits of a year's labor. Would that there were such Good Templars or good christians in many a neighbor hood, to lend a helping hand to those similarly afflicted. NEWS OF THE MORNING. Puts and -calls in the Chicago board of trade, .have been declared illegal. Public works arc at a. siandstiii in Peru, since the death of Harry Meiggs. Kearney, the chief of the San Franciscoincendiaries has not been released. Tiie Pacific mail steamship com pany is about to absorb the Panama traneit company. The government of Colombia, South America have contracted tor a ceutral railway, to cost $20,000.0CO. It is Benj. JB. Groom of Clark county, Ky., who passes in his liabil ities now, $238,000 against 130,000 assets. Senator Morton leaves his entire estate to his wife, requesting that she assist his sons in their education and otherwise. The seizure of logs, eta, in Louisiana, have suddenly and abrupt ly terminated, as the same are declared illegal "cot a due process of law." There is aw foundation for the report that the Canadian government has granted a reserve of land to Sit ting Bull and his band at lied Deer river, or any where else. Six car loads of cattle, shipped through by a, Kansas dealer without the food and changes which the law prescribes, were seized by the U. S. marshal at Washburn, Ills., on the 9th, under the statute. Col. Bob Ingersoll arrived home Saturday. SajTs he has not been offered the German mission. He has been recommended by some of the Illinois delegation, but has received no communication from the state de partment on the subject. He does not seek the place, but would accept were the honor tendered him. The Sunday Welcome pays the Portland Bee the following very high(J) cempliment: "The Organ which make a speciality of telling immoral, filthy and indecent occurrences in an immoral, filthy and indecent style, is fast losinir its respectable subscri bers, and as soon as the campaign is over will, wre predict, die of its own vile stench." Readers of the Bee will understand that the compb'ment (?) is well deserved. BOIHT. In Astoria, November 12th. to wile of C. L. Wilson, a daughter 10 pounds.
