C2) ASTORIA, OREGON: WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 12, 1883 Justice to the Dead. The Philadelphia Press of the 10th prints a seven-column article, giving Judge Black's posthu mous reply to Jefferson Davis' recent attack upon him. It comes in the shape of an interview with the great jurist by Frank A. Burr, of the Press staff, a personal friend of Judge Black, and had just be fore the judge was taken sick. It is fully authenticated, and deals with most important subjects. The response to Davis' criticisms forms but a small part of the paper. Judge Black maintains his former opinion in relation to secessionists, and is very severe upon the acts of the ex-confederate president and those who acted with him. He asserts that Davis was talking peace and planning war and always trying to get Buchanan to yield to the de mand of the secessionists. A most important part of the article relates his association with Buchanan during the last three months of his administration. The difference between them is de scribed, and much of the inner history of that period is given in forcible and entertaining words. But the most important feature of this article is Judge Black's dra matic story of the cabinet crises of 1SG0, which is given in full. He confines the scope of Buchanan's reply to the South Carolinia com mittee, and why lie was going to leave the cabinet. His ultimatum to the president at that moment is given in full. His reasons for this, never before published, are here in outline. It tells of Buchanan's position upon secession, and de nies that his letter to the South Carolinia commission acknowl edged the right of a state to se cede. The article places Judge Blaok in a new light before the country. Orders at the great locomotive works at Philadelphia are repre sented to be fewer at present than at any time since 1S7S, when the acme of dullness was reached. The cause of this is represented to be the cessation of railroad exten sion in many sections of the coun try, and to the fact that nearlv all roads are now full equipped with motive power to handle an im mense volume of business. A car for the governor of New South "Wales, Australia has just received its engine at the Baldwin works Philadelphia. It is designated for street service in Sidney, and will be propelled by a compound en gine a novelty rarely seen in lo comotive building, there being not over six in the country. To a disinterested observer it looks as if Judge Hoadly had rather got into a corner regarding the use of money to secure his nomination as Democratic candi date for governor of Ohio. Mr. Woodward comes out and says that Judge Hoadly said to him, in the presence of others whose names he offers to give, that "Mr. McLean had made his nomination cost him a great deal more than it ....... --"- J""b3 in his interview in the New York ITeratd, confined himself to a de nial as to a specific sum that his nomination had cost. It looks as if Judge Hoadly had reached a point where denials do not count. Tun municipal debt of New York is beginning to attract atteri tion by its magnitude. Comp troller Green now holds 35,523,' 838 bonds of the city, represent ing the sinking fund for the re demption of the debt, which is nearly S3,000,000 less than last year. The net debt of the city has not fallen much below $100, 000,000, above which point it had mounted at the befiinninjr of 18S0. In twenty years the debt has in creased from one-fourth the pres ent amount to the existing figure. At the same time some of the metropolitan journals are con strained to call the increase of the cost of the government to 30, 000,000, its present amount, as in- famous. Common swearing argues in a man a perpetual distrust of his .own reputation, and is an ac knowledgement that he thinks his bare word not worthy of credit. A book is a man's best friend, and the only one he can shut up without giving offense. A popular newspaper item for editorial expansion or paragraph contraction these days is one which says that there are 120 newspapers conducted by colored men in the United States. The Republican editor commenting upon it says: "See what a few years have done for the colored man! See how the Republican party has taken them out of the bonds of slavery, out of the sugar and rice fields, out of the clutches of the brutal overseers, and made men out of them! See what our party has donel Will the negro ever forget the party that has done so much for him? We think not." The Democratic ed itor looks at it differently. "Look," he says, "at the negro now! He is educated, he edits newspapers, he reads them. Who educates him? The Democratic tax-payers of the south. Who advertises in his papers? The Democratic business m ?n of the south. "Who reads his papers? The Democratic colored working men aud women of Democratic employers. The more the negroes become educated, the more they distrust the Republican part'." We ask why, in the name of all that is consistent, Portland is to be the terminus of all railways to the detriment of every productive interest of the state? Why not go on to Astoria and relieve the lands given for that purpose Why sacrifice every state interest to a way to get out of Portland and turn the back upon every in terest which will let a farmer set to a market with his produce so as to leave him a profit for his labor? Ivasco Sun. The answer is very simple. The interests of the railroad managers lie in the direction their lines take. They will make more by canying grain on cars than could be made by floating it down the Columbia. It is the province of such newspa pers as have not got the collar of the corporation around their necks to keep the question agitated, and demand what the country needs a free river. A pupil of Mexican schools who has done well in his lessons is rewarded by the teacher, by be ing allowed to smoke a cigar as he studies. DIKD.
