"We promised further develop ments in salmon forgery and counterfeiting business. The steamer yesterday brought us full particulars. The name of the firm is J. K. Armsby & Co., 22 and 24 River street, Chicago. They have been called to account for the perpetrated fraud, and have issued a circular letter to the trade in an attempt to justify the act. In this circular they make a very feeble effort to throw the responsi bility upon Mr. Geo. V. Hume. Commenting upon the whole transaction the Grocer of the 13th says: According to the ir code of mer cantile honor, this act is justified by the fact that the work was done by a party who has committed the error, if nothing worse, of identi fying himself with a disreputable mercantile transaction, the odium of which the linn of Armsby & Co., who were to recc-jive the bene fit, now attempt to throw wholly on him. Is it possible that Armsby & Co. arc .so ignorant of the quality of salmon that they have accepted fish as first-class which every reputable dealer who examined it declared was poor, so poor, in fact, that in order to ef fect a sale $1 (XJ per dozen had to be accepted? The facts about this Puget-sound fish are known to the entire trade, and although it may be an undeserved compli ment to Armsby fc Co. to admit it, we believe that they were known to them also. "The Hail of the Pot." If this were the first time that it had been "definitely reported at the headquarters ot the Northern Pacific railroad Company at Ta coma, that a pass across the Cas cade mountains entiiely practicable had been found; that the ap proaches on either side are easy and that construction of the road and its maintaiuance will cost much less than was anticipated," we might chalk our cue for a rampse, but it is too old. The Seattle Post says: Ye hear that Col. Smith, engi neer of the Pacific division, has officially reported facts to head quarters which will undoubtedly result in orders to commence con struction by Green river pass without delay. Mr. Anderson, the cniet engineer oi tne company, is expected to arrive this month and will definitely fix the plans and details of construction. The com mencement of this loug delayed work will institute an era of un usual activity on Puget-sound, from which Seattle will derive as much benefit as any other locality. The Baker city Reveille of the 11th says: uTiie Astoria n takes the sensible view of the railroad situation, and believes Mr. "VI Hard to be working in the interests of this country, and an honorable man." Bro. Abbott, did you ever know The Astokiax to take, any otner man sensioie viewr rn "771 : T- l rans-Atlantic steam lines are multiplying with astonishing ra piauy, scarcely a wceic passes without the announcement of the lormation ot a. new company to accommodate the constantly in creasing commerce between the United States and Europe. There are no less than twenty-fire lines already established between New York and the leading ports of Great Britian and the continent, and probably there are half as many more between the various ports of Europe and Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore and New Orleans, to say nothing of the in creasing fleet of transient freight - i mi steamers, uus an winch goes to prove that the ocean carrying trade is rapidly being transferred from sail to steam. A terrible disease has broken out among the Chinamen employed on the Canada Pacific railroad in British Columbia. The case of a Chinese cook at Big tunnel will serve to illustrate the phase: He sat down apparently perfectl well, to eat his dinner. His feet began to swell, and the swelling extending itself up his legs and body, reaching a vital part in about ten minutes, causing his abdomen and chest to expand in a most unnatural manner, and he tumbled down dead, all in less than fifteen minutes from the time the disease attacked him. In this way these people are dying by dozens, and already more than 100 have been carried off. "White people are alarmed, and the gov ernment has been asked to have an investigation. Gen Grant makes very few speeches, but some how or another whenever he opens his lips, words of wisdom escape from his great mind. A statement of his views and objects in visiting Mexico seems to have been regarded as called for, and at a banquet in his honor, at the Tivoli April 22d, he set forth his purposes at length. Following is the text of his speech disavowing all schemes of connec cennec connec teon: There is nothing in ray opinion, to stand in the way of Mexican progress and grandeur and wealth but the people themselves. I do not anticipate their opposition, but fulby expect their active support. 1 think 1 can answer for nine tenths of the people of my own country when I say that we have no sinister motives whatever; we have no designs nor de sires that are inimical to the honor and credit of this great republic. I am aware that some of the papers of Mexico, as well as possibly some of the United States, have made allusions to the possi bility of annexation of Mexican territory to the United States. On that subject I know that there are no grounds whatever for apprehen sion. When l was f resident ot the United States, representatives of the republic of Sau Domingo applied to me for annexation, de claring that such was the desire of the government, and the wish of all the people on the island. This proposition came to me several times before J considered it at all. At length, fearing that what had been said to me might be merely the statements of designing men, willing to sell their country for private gain, I determined, quiet ly and without the knowledge of these agents of San Domingo, to send thither agents of my owu to discover the real feelings of her people. By this means I verified the statement that ninety-nine hundredths of her people were anxious for the proposed annex ation. They were fully alive to the subject, had thought over it, and such a consummation was the brightest of their dreams. They desired as they expressed it, to be come a part of our great republic. I then entered into a treaty with that country (which has all the ca pacities of the best part of Mex ico), and submitted it to the senate of the United States for ratifica tion. It. was with great difficulty, notwitnstanoing my position as head of the government, that 1 could get the question considered at all by the senate, and when 1 did it was ueieateu by an over whelming majority. 1 am sure that even if it could be shown that all the people of Mexico were in favor of the annexation of a por tion of their territory to the United States it would still be rejected. We want no more land. We do want to improve what we have, and we want to see our neighbors improve and 'grow so strong that the designs of any other country could not endanger them. Mexico has the elements of development and wealth such as no other coun try possesses at all events to so high a degree. Her proximity to the equator, with her elevated plains, enables her to produce the fruits of all latitudes. Her mines are the richest in the world, and she possesses every climate, from the tropical to the frigid, in prox imity to each other. With the contemplated improvements in in ternal communication she must ad vance bej'ond the dream of her most patriotic citizens. So far as I am concerned, I shall be very glad if I can contribute to this re sult. I hope that we may be the warmest of friends and that the two republics may exist always. IMPORTANT iioiciiBNT!

That 's too thin. The wires are burdened with the subject of the resignation of the Kew York senators, but as yet matters have taken no turn which indicates what the result will be. The drift of things, however, seem to point toward the re-election of the two resigning members, who will be returned instructed by the Empire state to stand for their de fense, and fight it out on that line if it takes all summer.
