ra She gtoitjj stowm. ASTORIA. OREGON: SATURDAY FEBKUAKY 2, lfl THE UPPEU HOUSE. It has always been a mystery to those familiar with matters of legis lation in congress why nearly every member of the house of representa tives cherishes a burning ambition to become a senator. It appears to be a settled fact that men rho reach the senate of the United States do not often go higher, notwithstanding nearly all of them are perpetually struggling to obtain a chance at the goal- yearned for by all statesmen and politicians of national reputation, namely, the presidency. To the un tutored observer there is much to fascinate a man in the house and nothing at all to attract him in the senate. The former is composed mainly of young men not yet corrupted by politics men who are ambitious of becoming champions of great princi ples and honest measures. The latter is composed mainly of men whose hair is gray, who have most outlived their ambitions, and who awake only at intervals to throw up their hands and cry "Don't" at the apparition of pro gressive bills from the other wings of the capitjL It would seem that Mr. Carlisle, with his strong hand guid ing the legislation of the body in which only fiscal measures can orig inate, is a greater man than any sena tor. In fact, the law gives him the third place in the government, but it is not recognized by the senate. To the members of that august body he is only the chairman of an unruly lot of boys. It would seem also that Mr, Randall, with his grip on the purse strings of the nation, or Mr. Morri son, at the head of the committee which is to revise the tariff had each greater opportunities to show what is in them, and are the possessors of more power than any number of senators. At society and state "re ceptions." however, they rank far below their confreres in the upper house. It is a fact that congressmen are compelled to be in hot water most of the time for fear of failing of a re election, whereas the senators are obliged to get out and fight only once in six years; but this does not ex plain the difference in the atmosphere of the two houses. Eugene Hale and William P. Frye of Maine were each great men in the house. Both are young. Frye's hair is hardly grey and Hale's beard is hardly streaked with silvor. As representa tives they were not above heading a delegation for James G. Blaine to the national convention; now thiy are too dignified for that, and sleep their time away in the senate, ambitionless and unnoticed. Bock of Kentucky was a great man in the house; so were half a dozen others that might be mentioned, who, removed from the turmoil and bustle of the popular branch, have now become cyphers in legislation. The only property which Yillard is supposed to have saved from the wreck of his fortune is his extensivo mansion and ten acres of ground at Cobb's Ferry, near New York city, and his body servant, John Potts, who now remains in sole charge. A few weeks ago thirty men were en gaged in tilling the ground, planting trees, laying out roads, and in beauti fying the place generally. The stables and barns were filled with choice breeds of horses and cattle. The house, though not in use, was kept open by servants. Suddenly all ser vants and workmen were discharged. Horses, carriages, sleighs and stock were sent to New York and sold, and only old John Potts remains to boast of his master's departed glory. A "Washington special of the 31st, says: At a meeting of the house com mittee on public lands this morning the bill declaring the land grants of the California and Oregon and the Oregon and California railroads for feited was taken up for discussion. Altera short debate the committee took a vote, and decided to report the bill favorably, which will be done early next week. The next bill to be considered is that relating to the Northern Pacific. Members of the committee state that there is no doubt that all the house bills will be reported favorably. The passage by the house to-day of the Texas for feiture bill, it is claimed, has practi cally decided favorable action for all these measures. Lieut. Stoney of the receiving ship IiuleiJeiidence has received noti fication that he will be shortly ordered to the exploration of the river in Alaska which he discovered last summer on his return from the Siberian coast in the revenue steamer Corwin, which had been detailed to convey him, "with government pres ents to the natives for their assistance to the officers and crew of the wrecked steamer Eodgers. The coast survey schooner Yukon, now at Mare Island, will be fitted out and placed under the command of Lieut Stoney for the exploration; which will start as soon as the season will justify. The N. Y. Commercial -Advertiser says: "The street believes, as Mr. Gould and Sage have gotten their grip on the Northern Pacific road. tnat tney vnu evenraauy own tne en tire business, formerly known as "The YfflardV" A bim, has been introduced into the British Columbia legislature which imposes a fine of $1000 on any person who shall in anyway assist in the immigration of a Chinaman to British Columbia. The house threat ens that if the restriction is disal lowed by the Ottawa government, they will pass it again every session until it is allowed or the Dominion parliament passes a bill of its own. Judge Shephakd, of Chicago, has decided that women cannot have res idence other than that of their hus band's, and that to secure divorces suit must be brought at the legal res idence of the persons concerned. The result is that, while men may still make Chicago the great popular re sort for divorces, women are cut off from this high privilege. "With BL B. Payne, a protection ist," says the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, "and Gov. Hoadly, an aboli tionist, and Allen O'Myers, a sensa tionalist, as the great leaders of the Democracy, and Thurman and Pen dleton in the woods, the Ohio De mocracy seem to be a peculiar people troubled somewhat as to their po litical complexion." Op the members of the United States senate, nearly one-half received an academical training, while the rest never got higher than the common schools. The three finest scholars in the body Edmunds, Bayard and Sherman never entered college. Jones of Florida and Sewell never went to school at all. - The echoes of the Ohio senatorial election are not dying out, but on the contrary rather increase in distinct ness and emphasis. The Columbus Times (Dem.) says that "corruption has made rotten the Demooratic leg islature of Ohio. Money has had its potency to drag honor down into the The San Francisco Chronicle of the 27th ult, has a diagram illus trating the causes which tend to im peril the entrance to the Golden Gate. It argues that the bar at the harbor is shoaling and calls for congressional relief. According to returns made up by the department of agriculture at Ottawa the total number of emigrants landing in Canada during the last year was 110,284. Of this number, 72 821 passed through the Dominion en route to the United States. Last year Uncle Sam shipped abroad $823,166,133 worth of stuff, imported $729,762,327 worth, and has stowed away a comfortable hundred millions, or nearly as much as Van derbilt has invested in stocks and bonds. "Work in the Minnesota lumber region is very dull. "Wages range from So to $8 per month less than last year. The Astoria land grant is to be for feitedat last NEW TO-DAY. Attention Ladies ! Mtt.
