(Z 2?he SilttU StoHrtXu ' ! ASTORIA- OKEGOX WEDNESDAY... J. V. IliM.OKlV. Our It all road Lar.il Grant. A vv.w 'lay "-i'H'i :t v:tv-jhiii1- mU at West port complained to us in a letter that a settler in that vi-- einity had bt-eu arrested and placed undertbonds for trial; his offense was that he had cut timber from the public lands of the United States. These lands -were not sur veyed at tin time, and for that reason the party who cut the tim ber, although an actual settler, was not able to show good title to the lands. Our correspondent goes on and states that the settlers of that neighborhood have petitioned for several years to have the lands sur veyed. They are right; the land should have been surveyed long ago. By an act of congress of May 4, 1870, granting lands to the Oregon Central Railroad company, it will be seen that Hip. second sec tion of the act provides, "That the commissioner of the gen eral land office shall cause the lands along the line ol said rail road to be surve3rcd with all con venient speed." Twelve j'ears have passed since the approval of this act and yet the lands are not surveyed. The guilt or innocence of the parties under arrest will be estab lished in court. With that we have nothing to do. The timber lands between this place and Forest Grove have become valuable and Uncle Sam must expect that there will be many, high and low, who will try to take them, or the tim ber from them, without paying for tKem. If, for instance, a railroad company, to whom these lands or one-half of them should be given in consideration of building a rail road to Astoria, should undertake to sell these lands with the privil ege" of cutting the timber there from, such a company would be just as guilty of a misdemeanor as our farmer correspondent at Westport. The case of the rail road company would not be bet tered on account of its mil lion of acres, -while the West port farmer has but 1G0 acres. In fact, we believe the railroad peo ple would be made to suffer in proportion to the amount of lands at stake. We are thus particulat in goinir into a case supposable of course because we believe that very many have supposed the Astoria railroad grant to be a present rant to the railroad company,aud there fore was the property of the rail road company whether any railroad was built along the line or not. Thero may be, too, lhos. who are innocent purchasers of timber belonging yet to the United States, who may be doing no wrong against the United States in cut ting these timbers Knowingly, but are yet exposing themselves to the rebuke of the law. We therefore publish the syllabus of a decision given by Judge Deady in the U. S. district court on June 37th, 1SS2, in a similar case, that of the United States vs. William Childers: "Grant to the N. P. R. R. Co. By the act of July 2d, 2 SGI, (13 Stat. 3G5) the odd numbered sec tion along the line of the N. P. R. R. Co. for 40 miles on cither side of the line in the territories and 20 miles in the states is set apart and devoted to the construction of the road of said corperation: Butsaid grant is 'not a present grant of said lands to said corpo ration, but only in effect, an agree ment or provision that the same shall be conveyed to it absolutely when, and as fast as auy 2-3 miles of said road is constructed and ac cepted by the United States, and in thejjieantiine the legal title to the unearned and unpatented sec tions is in the. United States who may therefore maintain legal pro ceeding against any one that un lawfully cuts timber thereon." " This is the abstract which we publish for the benefit of all con-1 !cerncd Wc hope vrc shall never have to chronicle our supposable ! i case as a. real case, and that a rich and benevolent corporation was UshlCMeu from prosecution for a . - . . j. nn:i iirttu of OnuncMnn "Van Co., at .misdemeanor for which a pour .

Tl- with sui pri v- rr:tl in the Seattle ("'hmnicie ti:i tiir-iv ::n easier, cheaper and mure spm-ily means of transportation fiomj Seattle to the Chehalis country i than from any other supply point." ' Our surprise is inor-usul when wi reflect that the writer is, neces sarily, :i leader of the cur rent news of the day. His misstatement of facts cannot arise from ignorance, and must therefore be due to wilful mis representation of the case. The llwaco Steam Navigation com pany's vessels, which run daily, t:ifcr frnio-lit ?inr1 nnscMicrori; tu !: ... , ,. i Lnehalis count v, and so admuo-ie is their arrannement that tia-v make tlie through time toOlympia in siiy hours. This company has opened up the Chehalis county, has placed It in communication with the outside world, and is working up a fine trade with that magnifiaent section of our sifter territory. The result is that no point of importance is in quicker communication with that country than is Astoria, and, of course, to Astoria, will evidently accrue the benefit. Our Seattle contempo rary should correct the error of its statement. Tun Nicaragua canal bill has passed congress, after undergoing Some xery great modifications at the hands of the committee which has been secretly ma nipulating it. There is no guar antee of interest by the gov ernment, on seventy-five millions of bonds, as asked for. There is not much prospect that the pro posed canal will be built, there being no subsidy in sight. Lecscp will have his work through, we im agine, long before the American company does anything except talk. The controlling influences at Washington are opposed to any canal at all, and encouragement was .given to American schemes merely to got a backing to talk up the Monroe doctrine and try to scare the Frenchman from the work he had proposed. In spite of the terrible opposition, we are likely to have speedy communica tion with the Atlantic scaljoaid, for which we will be indebted to ihe energy of the French company. Events in Egypt seem conveig-. ing to one certain outcome the establishment of English rule o or the Nile. Arabi Pasha has been reinforced by 00,000 Bedouin, the French and German govern ments declare their desire lo s:e "neutrality" observed; the Turk ish Sultan confesses his inability to do anything, and. as a matter of "self-defense," England will do wih Egypt as she has done with India, make it a British de pendency. The possible blockade of the Suez canal affords grounds for remonstrance on the pari of other European powers, but "'tis not the policj of England to pay much heed to . the interests of other nations. The whole busi ness is magnified by distance, and sounds to an American reader much larger than it really is. Tin: Pennsylvania working people who ha.ve alwa3'S been ac customed to march in political procession every year, carrying protection banners, are tired of it. The protection talked of was not for them, but for the capital of their cmplo3'ers. They have been kept at the verge of starvation under the plea of protection to American labor; they havelseen the whole world ransacked for paupers lo bring to this country lo keep down their pay; they feel the selfishness and hypocrisy' of the pleadings which have led them to t ' cntee ihrir o-n "U-nt,A pu, Stck j j and they are done with :t. The, Ml Republican leaders lost a fine op portunity to make a good record when they evaded action on the tariff question. 2HSV TO-DAY Dissolution of Copartnership.
