Mr. George's Views.
Wiiile Hon. M. C. George was
in the city last Wednesday he
conversed with us at considerable
letmthrefrardinsf what intimatclv
concerns the people of Astoria.
In regard to the matter of "The
Astoria Land Grant,"1 Mr. George
is of the opinion that though all
principles of equity demand that if
the corporation fail to comply
with the conditions under which
they got the grant it should revert
back to the people whose domain
it is, yet, it will be not likely to
come up before the present con
gress. Our readers will remember
an interview with Senator Slater
an account of which we published
some time ago, in which that
gentleman stated his belief that
owing to .the extraordinary press
o busiuess that matter will not
be reached. This view is cororbo
rated by Mr. George. He states
that the fact of so much business
being left over from last session,
the pressing demand of measures
sure to be introduced at the imme
diate opening of congress and the
special exigencies of the occa
sion coupled with the fact that
the present session will be exceed
ingly short will probably allow of
no opportunity to take up this
matter, except in connection with
the whole matter of lapsed land
grants extensively discussed at
the last congressional session.
This is no doubt the case, and
wiu continue till a cre:it mauv
... b -
things now pushed upon congres
sional attention shall be given
different jurisdiction. There are so
many things foreign to the nature
and purposes of public legislation
that regularly come up for con
gressional adjudication that the
wonder is the average congress
man finds time to do as much as
he does. Private claims, ques
tions of privilege, pensions, etc.,
consume nine-tenths of a session.

- y-lyfroci'thb report .of " enrnneers re-
r " a gwhgthat, It will be remem-
bered thitt- it was due to the per
sonal exertions of Mr. George and
our Senators that the appropriation
was made for a survey and com
petent men sent out. The one
great and almost insuperable ob
jection that will be made in the
last session of the forty-seventh
congress to appropriating money
for improvements is that it won't
do to pile up the appropriations;
there has been a howl raised about
the river and harbor appropriations
of the last session, and as part
policy neither party wants to
have much to do with appropria
ting money this winter. Econ
omy will be the shibboleth, and
sails must be trimmed and courses
taken for '84.
Mr. George regretted the defeat
of his coadjutor in the commerce
committee Page of California
who had given material aid to
Oregon in advocating her claims
heretofore.
Mr. Anthony, ol Rhode Island
is chuckling over less fortun ate
bosses while he points with pride
to his copper-bottom ed state con
stitution which fences out from the
ballot box all foreign-born citizens
who don't own real estate.. The
joke is in requiring a voter to own
land in a state that is nearly all
water and not very much of that.
TiiunLow Wehd died at his
home in New York last Vednes-
Uttjr- agea eiffnty-uve. iior a
quarter of a century before the
civil war few men had more in
fluence than he over American
politics. Of late years senility and
garrulous reminiscences showed
that the candle burned low in the
socket.
