C?J & i T ASTORIA. OREGON: 5. C. IRELAND Emtor. FRIDAY March 21. 1871) Food for tlie Moralists. Moralists can strike an easy bal ance between New York's rqgard for recreation and religion respec tively, by comparing actors ear nings with preachers. Beecher gets 20,000; Edwin Booth, $100, 000 a year. Dr. Hall, of Fifth avenue, and Dr. Dix, of Trinity, ret 15,000: while E. A. Sotbern earns over 3159,000 as lord Dun dreary, and John E. Owens plays thirty weeks annually for 90,000. Talmadge preaches for SI 2,000, and Joe .3e(Tprson plays forty weeks as Rip Van Winkle and earns 120,000: The scholar ly and gifted Dr. Storrs has $10, 000 salary, and Maggio Mitchell earns 30,000 to 50,000. Dr. Guyler works hard and faithfully for 8,000 a year, and Dr. Hep worth for $5,000, while Dion Boucicault the great adapter, has just. finished a session as 'Sliau graum,' etc., at 3,000 a week, and his managers scold him in the public prints because he would not play longer at the same price. Dr. Potter, of Grace church, has $10,000 and a parsenage: the eloquent Dr. Tiffa ny has $10,000; Dr. Chapin gets 10,000; whle pretty M:ss Neilson makes over 150,000 a year, and "Fanny Davenport earns 1,000 a week every week she plays. Com mon players get starvation wages, and so do common ministers. Ye might name preachers, within seventy-five miles who work like beavers for three to four hundred dollars, while the average salary of our clergymen is less than the pay of a horse-car conductor. Superfluous Diplomatic Offices. Of our treaties with England, since the founding of this republic, the treaty of peace in 17S3, Jay's treaty of 171M-, Monroe's erf 1$UG (not ratified -the treaty ol Ghent in 1814, the treaties of 1S15 and 1318, and the four treaties of 1S2G and 1827 wore negotiated by spe cial commissioners; while the Ash burton treaty of 1S12, the Clayton Bulwer convention of 1S50, the Elgin reciprocity treaty of 1854, and the Lyons slave-treaty of 18C2 were negotiated at 'Washington by the department of state. The la test great treaty, the treaty of "Washington, was negotiated by two sets of special commissioners. Tims all our most weighty treaties with England, without exception, have been negotiated either at Washington, or, if in Europe, by special commissioners. 'Of our treaties with France those of alli .ance and commerce in 17 8, the treaty of 1800, and the Louisiana .treaty of 1S03 were negotiated by special commissioners, and that of 1822 at Washington. The Rives claims convention of 1831 was the -only "treaty of prime importance negotiated bv our minister to Paris. Among these special commission ers figure -7)ohn and J. Q. Adams, Franklin, Jay, Monroe, Pinkney, Bayurd, Clay, Jonathan. Rush, Ells worth, Livingston, an others. All '.these historic facts were set forth 'before congress by Mr. Hewitt on the 11th of Marc!), 1S78; yet the senate then refused, and has again refused, to diminish by a man or a dollar our superfluous standing diplomatic establishments. We trust that the 4Gth congress will aee to this. For fifteen years no governor of North Carolina has served out this full term. Freight Combination. The Oregon Sentinel informs us that there is a movement in the southern counties of western Ore gon to combine and effect a change in the method of freighting from San Francisco, leaving the Oregon steamship routes and taking the freight from the California rail road at Redding. The Sentinel says: The main argument in favor of this movement is that the mer chants find a market on the Red ding route for a very large amount of produce, while on the Roseburg route there is no market at all. The California company haul over three hundred miles of road for 10 per ton, while the Oregon company charge an average of 15 per ton for hauling over two hundred miles of road, and this added to steamer freight, marine insurance, and the arbitrary measurement rule, brings the aggregate freight to Roseburg up to 20 per ton. Another source of complaint is the vexatious delay br the Roseburg route. Freights from San Francisco 1 via Roseburg are usually five to six davs longer in transit than freights from the same place via Redding, and the latter route shippers can calculate with absolute certainty when their goods may be loaded, and this saves the expense of de lay at the railroad terminus which must be borne either by the ship per or teamster. Another cogent reason is the manifest indisposition of the people of Douglas county to keep their roads in passable con dition, teamsters claiming that they can haul twenty-five per cent, more over he Sacramento or Scott valley roads than through the black mud of the Umpqua. Traps for tlio Unwary. Postmaster-General Key has begun a war upon the numerous swindlers who operate through the innils. Ho has issued -the following erder: It having been represented to me that certain persons, named below, of New York city, are engaged in con ducting a scheme and device for ob taining money through the mails by means of false and fradulent preten ses, representations, and promises, and being satsfied from the evidence before me that the said persons are so engaged: 1 do hereby forbid the payment by the postmaster at New York to the said persons of any postal mone3r order drawn to the order of J. H. Hall & Co., 21 Ann street; N. Martin, 111 South street; Thomas S. Smith and Thomas Smith, cashier of the Mer cantile prize Association, 21 Ann street; Thomas N. George, 140 Ful ton street; and the said posmaster is herjby directed to inform the remit ter of the said postal money order that the payment thereof has been forbidden, and the sum of -Eaid money will be returned, on the .presentation of a duplicate money order, applied for and obtained under the regulations of the department. And upon the same evidence the postmaster at New York city afore said is hereby instructed to return all registered letters which shall arrive at his olfice, directed to the persons herein named, to the postmasters at the unices to which they were origin ally mailed, with the word "fraudu lent"1' plainly written or stamped upon the outside of such letters.
