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.

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. Ordinance Xo. 322.
