It was purely an affair "at first' sight, encouraged by mirth and 'music, sense and sentiment, on the royage. Mr. Proctor is a widower with six children. Mrs. C. has two children. Her husband died re cently in Australia. Proctor will settle in cither Xew York, Phila delphia, or Boston, perhaps the latter place, and devote his future attentions to his new family and Jiterature. The solution of the Mormon problem is contained in that part of President Hayes' message re lating to polygamy and Utah af--fairs the appointment of United States commissioners entrusted with the mauagement of affaire in the territory; but it would prove to be a position most uncertain as to the tenure of the office, because, 'though there may not be so many murderous villains in Utah now s formerly, there are nevertheless murderers enough in the church te attempt to perpetuate its dynasty in spite of any number of commis sioners sent out under authority of National law. u. . i. Notes frm the Editor. We are in receipt of Botes from the editor of The Astotian while on his way east in which he n rites, under date of lid inst.. as follews: We met west bound train at Wahsatch at 2:125 j. m; all well. The snow is plentiful te-day, but no obstruction is caused thereby: it is only a little blinding to the eyes. I wished I had my smoked glasses to-day. The weather is de lightful. On the 4th, we inut westbound train at 2:30 v. i. at Otto. We meot vnv train every twelve hours, alternate day and night Jlishop Morris parsed west yesterday afternoon.

On Thursday last, Capt. Fred C-ongdon, long in the employ of the Messrs. Cook Brothers, of Clif ton, made a visit to Sand island for the purpose of locating thej spot which offered the most favor able facilities for the erection of . j the buildinir, necessarv to carrv out the plans and designs of Cook Bros., who ha e leased the island lrom the L nited tates govern-, ment for a term of five years, se curing for themselves the exclusive privilege of the use of it for that period. localizing that tta greatest salmon catch as well as the finest fish can be secured at the mouth of the Columbia river, in the im j mediate vicinity oi me iManu, thee gentlemen propose to loeate all the fishermen they employ during the fishing season on the island. 1 1 i their intention to erect there comfortable mes and lodg ing hoiise- for the fishermen, and the necessary racks for drying and mending their nets. A large scow wharf is also to be built and anchored in the sheltered bay at the head of the island, a spot which has always Imen "used as a ealm resnrt and resting place by the tired fishermen after his nights toil when waiting for a tow to his cannery. This bay fronts the spot selected for Cook Uros. build ings. The houses are now in course of construction at St Helens, the material will all be prepared there, framed and cut, read- to be speedily put together when landed on Sand island. The advantages to be derived from this unique scheme are, in the estimation of the enterprising firm who hare taken it in hand, very many and very obvious. Among others, they say it ill be a great saving of labor from the fact that the men and boats being located right on the fishing grou ml will render the pulling or towing of the loaded boats to their can nery at Clifton or even to this rity and also a return trip in the even ing unnecessary. Then again, much of the time consumed on these hitherto necessary trips am be comfortably spent by the fish ermen in needed sleep. They contend also that their fish ermen will be greatly benefitted by this arrangement, by labor saved and sleep gained, and will also have a better chance to save their hard earned money. We understand that Cook Brothers in tend under no circumstances to allow any of their fishing boats to leave the island except for the purpose of fishing, but it is pro posed to give such of the men as desire it, an opportunity to come to town on their new steamer, the Argonaut, every Saturday evening, returning next day in time to re sume fishing. We are also in formed that they purpose to pass a law which is intended to be held as sacred as that of the Medes and Persians, that if any fishermen in their employ shall be found to be intoxicated, his boat will be irre vocably taken away from him. Success to the Sand island colo nists. - -The Washington, the new steamer for the People's Transportation com pany, of Vancouver, will be finished about March loth. .She is 140 feet long, 24 feet beam, and with her machinery in her, will draw 30 in eh us.

Gray's letter charging the Xew North- i 1 west (Mrs. Duni way's paper) with ' favoring the polygamous svunn of the Mormons, in justice to that sprightly journal we give its answer t the ehiirsje. in it issue of the 10th inst: In last Sunday's Astki..v. Mr." W. H. Cray, of Olney, eomplains that the columns of the New Not th west have been "opiicd for an article from a man called Bishop Lunt. on the genuine bible argu ments in favor of a polygamous j system," and "prostituted in the interests of men eallnitr theiiiselve: ,t religious sect." Mr. C. is need- j Ictslv worried, and mirht re-tram ! 1.; ",.,....,..K- wrmtli.

No other pa per in the -tate bus commented o freely on the practices of the Mor mons. In the introduction to the article which so excited him. it was exwresslv stated that the Xew Xrt Invest favors the the disfran chisement of polygamists ''because they are offenders against tin laws ami no more deserving of the bal lot than other criminals-;" that'Hhe statutes aintnist their practices j could he enforced if they were tie prived of political powers:" an J I mat "tne remark- made m tieifiie of polygamy by Bishop Lunt"' were published because "we al ways wish to be fair in discussing any question"" and to give both sides. With these sentences star ing Mr. Cr. in the face, ho is guil ty of demagogy in holding this journal up as au endorser of the Mormons and charging that its ed itor's pen is 'prostituted"' to dis seminate their doctrins. ;"X(iiH-n Mutt it i-no te-ffortht'iu lomlveitiM-. that they liac been in the place in mi-ine all their lie-. and vitImhI.
