Letters from the Teople.
Astokia, OuEGoy, March 25, 1S79.
Editor Astokian. :
The extreme anxiety of one or two
parties to be officious and to have
some excuse for making themselves
conspicuous has led them to take up
the inaUer of the lighting of a single
lamp on the top of the hill, and mis
represent the matter. In the first
place the coiiacil passed an ordinance
against any person riding upon the
sidewalks of this city, to the danger of
any one.
The writer of this ravored striking
out the words "to the danger of any
one," and to prohibit riding upon the
sidewalks entirely. Bt as persons
driving cattle, and the lamp-lighter in
lighting and putting out the lumps,
were sometimes almost compelled to
go on the side-walk, the amendment
was lost.
Some time after the passage of the
ordinance, the lamp lighter stated that
the mud was so deep in the street that
he could not ride up to said lamp.
Whereupon a motion as made that
the lamp lighter be allowed to ride on
the side-walk, from Court street to the
lamp. A few days afterwards a peti
tion came before the council; asking
that an ordinance preventing the rid
ing upon the side-walks, "if there was
not already one;" which was laid on
the table. Not as stated by the Ore
goiiian correspondent of 21st, "be
cause the residents of the hill did not
wish to have their wives and families
driven off the side-walk into the
mud." The petition did not intimate
thut anything of the kind luiti been
done, and 1 do not believe that one
of the council knew that ladies had
left the side-walk oh account of the
lamp lighters horse, until theyaw it
in the Oregonian. But because the
Ordinance had already been passed.
The next thing we see is a long pro
test signed by respectable and worthy
citizens of oifr city, published in your
Daily, addressed to the common coun
cil, before the council had time to
act, or had Been the protest.
But, the getter-up, without the
knowledge of the -signers, unfairly and
with evident intent to bull-doze the
council, published said protest. The
respectability of the signers of the
protest, and having no voice in the
tuxes paid by them, shall have my
vote to place a lamp upon the highest
tree within the city limits, and paj
50 per mouth to light it if necessary,
when thev present a petition for it.
Mr. Editor, the habit of respectable
citizens signing almost every petition
that is presented to them, without
knowing psrticularls, is so common
and notorious, that councihnen or
othors having toilet upon them, are
placed in doubt, and often, if grant
ed, vrould work directly against the
views of parties signing.
This lamp will no doubt be lit, by
order of the council, at the next
meeting, if the parties wish fit. And
if they had spent one-half the time m
statin" the matter jis it was, that
they have in running around
with protest etc., they would have
avoided a srreat niuuv unnecessary
words, and loss of time.
For the benefit )f the eminent
parliamcntarian"Hillside"and yourself
Mr. Editor-. I will call your attention
to the council proceedings of Tuesday
ISth, t which time the council ad
journed, to meet Saturday 22d.
Several ordinances and resolutions
having 'been read and reported upon at
the meeting of the 18th, were laid
over until the adjourned meeting,
mainly because two councilmen were
absent. When the council met on
the 22d, councilman Shively moved
that matters laid over at the last meet
ing be taken up, which motion car
ried, and ordinances together with
reports laid over at the meeting of the
18th were taken up and acted upon
and no others. Were our acts parlia
mentary? The trouble with our cor
respondent is that ai'ter bull-dozing
the council in the paper, he came
all cocked and primed Saturday eve
ning to snjr his piece, unless I am
mistaken, and as his matters did not
come up, the council J think will have
to be responsible if he explodes be
fore our next meeting
One ofThe Crrv Dads.
Astoria, Oregon, March 22. 1S70.
Editor Astouuvx.
I notice in the Daily Oregonian of
March 21st,in the Astoria note3, a fling
at the city council. Is any person
competent to act as a regular corres
pondent of a paper having the circu
lation that the Daily Oregonian has,
unless he confines himself to the truth,
and when he states his reasons why
the "council ordered a certain lamp
not to be lit," I say that no such rea
son was presented to the council.
This correspondent has, in several
1 former notes, taken occasion to slur
and misrepresent the council. I ex
pect that citizens and tax payers will
criticise the act of the council, but no
fair minded or candid man, will do so
in the manner of this correspondent,
without being present at the meeting
of the council, or hearing more than
one side of the matter. Yin.

Contracts Awarded.
A. Van Dusen & Co. wis awarded
the contract for irrhishing oil, etc.,
and taking care of the lamps of the
city. For street lamps at 2 24 each
per month, and for the lamps for the
city hall at 4i cents each per month,
for one year from the 1st of April,
i879j also 7 00 per month for fur
nishing a janitor for c'iy ha1!.
H. B. Parker was awarded the con
tract for boarding the city prisoners
at 1G cents per meal, for one year
from April 1, 1879.
Hon. J- H. Mitchell.
Columb'aCtt.onicle.
Among the 1 etiring Senators none
will be more seriously felt than Hon.
John H. Mitchell of Oregon. The
Pacific slope must feel she has lost an
ardent woiker, and a powerful and
influential Senator; few Senators
have made themselves so conspicuous
by their good works as has Senator
Mitchell. Nearly eveiy bill providing
for Oregon and Washington was either
introduced or favorably advocated by
him. All the alleged "crookedness"
of Mr. Mitchells youth vanishes before
his efforts as a public 1 enefactor. The
honorable gentleman has already at
tained even in his prime the most
honorable position, save the Presiden
cy, to which the country he serves
could place him.
