Astoria, Oregon, Wednesday Morning. November M, 1877. AgJr.,'. i. ; v :,j.jj,.fc.v. Th? Barnes of Astoria Streets. "o'.v that the business of Astoria has assumed the proportions of a city and many places of business are so lo cated as to make Squemocqha, Con comly and Chenamus streets a busi ness center, the annoyance of speak ing the names of those streets correct ly, to si' nothing as to the pronuncia tion (particularly of Squemocqha), compel business men to petition for a change of nomenclature. This peti tion asks that the name of Concomly be changed to First street; that Chen amus be changed to Second street; Squemocqha to Third street, and so on until Court street is reached pass ing south from the river front, whenl after passing Court street the name of the next is Seventh, and so on to the summit. There may be valid objec tions to the alteration of the names of Joflors.m and Astor streets, as those are proper and popular names, but as to the three streets bearing the un pronunciable indian names that these do, none can object to alteration. Water street, along the river front is well enough. The petition has re ceived the signatures of about 125 buiia Julc citizens, and will be present ed to the council at the regular meet ing on Monday evening next. AJTL'SEMEXTS. A rich treat is in store for our citizens on the evening of the Kith.

The l roubles of a Celestial Woman who is Striving to Retain the Germ of Virtue. The Eirathcnisli Moon-Ejert Monster irluisp Joss Is a Love of Cold. Portland Justice Placing IVlore Faith in the Word of a Pagan than that of Honorable White Men ! The Late Chinese Tioubles in which Hop Kee so Extensively Figured. It will be recollected that some time ago we published a paragraph in these columns calling attention to the course of one Hop Kee, a heathenish monster from the flowery kingdom liv ing in our midst, who prizes gold as of more value than the life and virtue of a woman whom he held as his slave. It now appears that Hop Kee had purchas ed this woman in San Francisco, as a slave, for nefarious purposes, and that she had paid him back every cent of the purchase money and claimed her liberty But Hop Kee was not willing that she should have her liberty, and re-sold 'her here in Asioria, for transportation to eastern Oregon. The circumstances all came to the attention of Linn Sam, a Chinese whom we class as a pagan with a christian heart in him. Sam made up his mind to assist the woman in regain ing her liberty, and at the peril of his life fought the matter through the courts here, and saw her married in accord" ance with the customs of Oregon to a cousin of his in Astoria. Finding him self baffled at every point in this city Hop Kee transferred the ease to Port land and in spite of the evidence of re spectable white people, thro' perjury of Chinese succeeded in having her arrest ed and taken to Portlaud on a charge of larceny, and she was held there for an appearance before the grand jury. At this stage of proceedings three citi zens of Asioria appeared in Portland upon summons as witnesses, and the wo man was released on bail, and has re- turned here with her lawful husband. Linn ISam who acted the part of the good Samaritan in these proceedings, carries on the business of a pawn broker in Astoria, but he has become satisfied that the doom of assassination awaits him. It is said that the Chinese havp banded together under their pagan laws, selected the man who is to do the bloody work, and gone so far as to fix the price, which is l(H)0. to be sent to the China men's friends in China, and, when the matter -comes to a focus, provide evi dence enough to prevent the authorities from hanging him. but in case that he goes to the peniteiitiary he is to receive ?4(K) per annum while incarcerated. Take the matter through, from first to last, it reveals very many new ideas to us while barbarians, as to the modus op erandi of the celestial systems reg ulating the vices and corruption of that race in our own community, under the full blaze of Christianity, setting our laws at defiance, in the methods of per jury pursued by them to carry out ne farious plans, even to that of selling slaves, and assassination, if need be, to fix the chain of title to tlie doomed one, as in this case. The Fish Subject. Astoria, Oregon, Xov. 13, 1877. Editor Astouiax : Notwithstanding j'onr intimation in this mornings paper, I trust you will give ihice to the following upon the fish subject and particularly in answer to the questions asked me by your cor respondent this morning. First question " Wiry in section 5," etc., I answer: In a multitude of counsel there is wisdom. If all who are offended or injured by dead salmon, sturgeon, seals, etc. , on the beach, or by other results of salmon fishing, will present their grievances or regrets to congress, or other law making power as the fishermen have done or intend to xlo, then probably congress will pass the very bill that has been named by the hshermeii, (or something better adapted to the case), j3t as the fisher men request them to do, that is the language of their petition. Next question This question- im pugns other, peoples motives and is not deserving of notice. My answer is, how much 1, or the other' parties named and questioned, have subscribed or paid towards a "hatching" establish ment on the "Clackamas" or on any other river, is only my own, and? their business. If any one has. subscribed or paid moreio wards thai hatching establish-1 ment than any other one, I hope he did so from the best of motives, and because he saw his interest, present or remote, lay in such action; and a per son would be very foolish not to assist along an enterprise which he deemed for his interest. But the beauty of this world is, that all men do not see all things alike. I have probably paid your correspondent J. C. T. twenty time3 as much the past year to help his business along in Astoriay as he has paid to the said hatching establish ment. In his first article your correspond ent says "all the mills," etc., "never killed a salmon in Oregon," a sweep ing assertion. I have seen salmon en ter the flume of a water saw mill, alive and well apparently, and in less than ten minutes go through the wheel and come out below all mashed up, and as dead as a door nail. I can prove that in a court of justice. If that does not give the absurdity to his sweeping as sertion then I do not understand lan guage. I think there are one or two similar absurdities in his this mornings article. But the reader can see them and no more at present from w. w. p. DAXGEKOIS ri'BLIC 5:!5LD5XS. All Liable to Destruction 1j Flre Apfiropriatloii to lie Asked For. An "Washington Dispatch to the New York Press The commission charged with the examination of the various public buildings have made a report which says that all the public buildings, with the exception of the new state de partment building, are in part con structed of such materials as to render their destruction possible. The com mission therefore recommend that for the relief of the over-crowded build ings, and in view of the rapid increase of the public records, that a fireproof building of ample dimensions be con structed for the accommodation of the archives of the government no longer required for constant use. It should be so remote from all other buildings as to place it beyond danger from ex terior fires. Among the buildings condemned by the report of the commission which has been examining the fire-proof char acter of government property in the city are tiie" two wooden shells at the Naval observatory. One of them holds the large refracting telescope, the largest object glass in the world, and one of exceptional clearness, wliich it would be difficult if not im possible to rexlace; and the other the library of six thousand volumes made up of sets of reports through years past. An effort will be made to se cure an appropriation to remove the observatory to some height near the city, whore the lire-proof buildings can be erected. In addition to tlie safety from fire, the great additional advan tage will be secured of improved me teorological conditions. The present site has the river on three sides, and besides being unhealthy, is often foggy when thfi heights back of the city are clear; so that the efficiency as well as he safety of the observatory will be obtained. If Seattle can build a railroad to yalla "Walla, why is it Astoria cannot build a wagon road to upper town It is said that there will be no trouble experienced in reducing the sulphurets found in the ore of the Lucky Queen mine. Kindness is the golden chain by which society is bound together. A lack of kindness in a community is evidence of a loose state of society. Another one of tiie fraternity of publishers, Sir. Allen Weir of the Pu get Sound Argus, was married on Mon day evening to Miss El1 en Davis, at New Dungeness.
