V y ty - Vj. "K-p -,. -A - v. r Site gaits straiatu ASTORIA-OREGON: FRIDAY -.JAN. C. 1882 J.F.IUIXOBAX. Editor. Just So. Ik an article referring to tho ac tion of the- lato Territorial Legisla ture in repealing the pilot law, the Puget Sound Argus says: "The business of piloting fluctuates greatly; under a pilot law, the pilots are required to be on the pilot grounds constantly, to be ready for duty when needed; so that a vessel corning in when she is the only arrival in a month is just as sure of getting a pilot as though she came during the busy season; in the absence of pilot regulations, 'pilots will ply their vocation only when it is profitable, and in dull times, i.c., when ves sels are not often coming, they will desert the pilot grounds for more lucrative fields of employ ment, leaving vessels to shift for themselves. The pilot law pro vides and enforces uniform fees, while its absence leaves pilots free to fleece luckless victims "for all they are worth," by a kind of per missive system of plunder. Under no pilot law, a foreign vessel comes to Puget Sound for a cargo of lumber; she belongs to the class that ought above all others to be protected and encouraged to bring foreign gold to exchange for our production; it maybe that her cap tain has never sailed to this part of the world before, and hence is ignorant of our prevailing winds, currents, etc., and requires a com petent pilot to take charge of his vessel before entering the straits; in view of all this, she is likely to find no pilot waiting, and may be compelled either to undergo vexa tious and expensive delay waiting for a pilot, or venture in and risk being wrecked through ignorant handling; on the other hand, if she finds a pilot, he may take advan tage of the situation and demand an exorbitant fee for his services, which the captain feels he must pay in order to secure safety." 'Tis probable that the next Wash ington Legislature will see that this is so, and pass a law regu lating and controlling the matter. Change of Heart. A "Wasiiixgiox dispatch of the 4li says: Great surprise was felt here to-day among politicians by the publication of an interview in New York with General Grant, in which ho announces belief that Fitz John Porter has been greatly abused and now thinks his original sentiment of dismissal from the army a flagrant bit of injustice. General Logan, chairman of the senate committee on military affairs, was asked concerning this change of sentiment on the part of Grant. He said he had nothinrr particular to say upon the subject beyond the fact that he was sur prised. He had heard General Grant "express himself very strongly upon this subject against Porter. He knew of no new evi dence in case, as alleged in a newspaper publication. All -evidence upon which Grant based "jJina change of opinion was before " him during the eight years he was president, and- Logan does not pretend to understand now how "Grant can express the opinion as cribecTto bim. Politicians familiar with this long struggle of Fitz John Porter for reinstatement find a ready explanation of Grant's sudden change of opinion. Porter has been knockingat the doors of Congress for years without stirring any attention. The refusal to listen to him came largely through the influence of Grant himself. Of his character, .Grant said here a year.ago at the dinner table, that he had gone ovor the evidence in Porter's ease a, number of times, and the only error in the case as he understood it, was that Porter, was not shot instead of dismissed- from the service. Grant when he was "president, steadily refused to even consider Porter's case, and his-sudden shift eomes from a new combination in Por- ter's interest. The reinstatement of Fitz John Porter, in the senate, at least, has become a democratic measure. Grant himself is more anxious than he has been made to appear. The democrats and Mr. Porter have learned of his anxiety and have formed a combination. Upon that basis it is understood that they have gone to Grant and said to him, "if you will help us on the Porter matter we will vote to place you on the retired list,"' and so Grant's change of heart is understood. "When- in 187G the Presidential complications of that year were under discussion, and Oregon and Louisiana seemed doubtful, every body admitted that the first busi ness of Congress should be tlie modification- of the laws so that such danger should not arise in the future. But nothinir definite has ever been done; there has been a rrrA ilo1 rT nlmon Hnnlo mnt mil guuu ...... .. ........ w.... ........., but no more. Now comes an illustration of another public dan ger in the vague and ambiguous wording of our highest organic law in relation to the Presidential suc cession. The provision that the Vice President shall aot in case of the disability of the President, is susceptible of three interpreta tions, and to prevent possible dan ger and probable complication, it would be wise in Congress to so legislate that a clear definition and understanding may be had. The present lull looks a good deal like the case of the Arkansas man who wouldn't fix his roof. The assertion of a robust, self respecting, self-protecting Ameri can policy not only implies, but necessitates the power -to back it up. The Congress and the Presi dent, therefore, being in accord as to the policy, it is not to be sup posed that there will be any drsa greement between the two, or any serious question at either wing of the capital as to the means of its enforcement. Those whose shibboleth is any thing but what is," whose creed is self and whose doctrines are des tructive in their direction claim that Arthur is but President "by proxy," and that Grant is really the man who dictates and controls official patronage. Their dreams are haunted by the specter of "The Third Term," and their im aginations but paint their fears. MISCELLANEOUS. DE3 STJ3NT. NEW YORK, 1SS2. T111: Sun forl8S2 will make its fifteenth animal revolution under the present man agement, shining, as always, for all, big and little, mean and gracious, contented and un happy, ltepublican and Democratic, de prated and Urinous. Intelligent and olrtiise. The Sun's light is for mankind and woman kind of every sort ; but its general warmth Is for the good, while It pours hot discomfort on the blistering backs of the persiMontly wicked. The sun of lSGs was a newspaper of s new kind. It discarded many of flic forms, and a multitude of the superfluous words and phrases of ancient journalism. It under took to report in it fresh, succinct, uncon ventional way all the. news of the world, omitting no cv ent of human Interest, and commenting upon affairs with the fearless ness, of absolute Independence. The suc cess of this experiment was the success of The Sujc. It effected a permanent change in the stjle of American newspapers. Eerv Important journal established in tills country in the dozen years past has been modelled after The Sux. Every important journal already existing has been modilled ana uetiercu uy me iorce 01 hie sun's example. The Sun of 1882 will bo the same outspok en, truthtelling, and interesting newspaper. By a liberal use of the means which an abundant prosperity affords, we shall make it better than ever before. AS'e shall print all the news, putting it into readable shape, and measuring its import ance, not by the traditional yardstick but by its real Interest to the people. Distance from Printing House Square Is not the first consideration with The Sun. Whcneter anything happens worth reporting we get the particulars, whether it happens 111 Brook lyn or in Bokhara. In politics we have decided opinions ; and are accustomed to express them in language that can bo understood. We say what we think about men and events. That habit is the only secret of TnE Sun's political course. Tun Wkewxy Sun gathers Into eight pages the best matter of the seven dally Is sues. An Agricultural Department of un equalled merit, full market reports, and .1 liberal iiroportion of literary, scientific, and domestic intelligence complete The Week ix Sun, and make It the best newspaper for tho farmer's household that was overprinted. Who does not know and read and like The Sunday Sun, each number of which is a Golcondaof interesting literature, with the best poetry of the day, prose, every line worth reading, news, humor matter enough to fill a good-sized book, and infinitely more varied and entertaining than any book, big or little? If our idea of what a newspaper should be pleases you. send for The Sun. Our terms are as follows : For the daily Sun. a four-page sheet of twenty-eight columns, the price by mail, post paid. Is 5S cents a month, or sjn 50 a year; or, including the Sunday paper, an eight-page sheet of fifty-six columns, the price is OS cents per month, or ijtj ;o a year, postage paid. The Sundav edition of The Sun is also furnished separately at $1 SO a year post age paid. xha price of the Weekly Sun, eight pages, fifty-six columns, is Si a year, post age paid. For clubs of ten sending 810 we will send an extra copy free. Address: r I. W.ENGLAND.
