The departing Chinese are daily levied on for poll-tax at the docks. Gastav Hansen makes a fine display of jewelry and precious stones. ' The regular daily fire at Albina yes terday morning burned up another build ing. The latest Seattle Posl-Intelligcncer to hand has advertisements of five sheriff's sales. The Walla Walla, which has recently bean sluicing on St. Helens bar, crossed out yesterday to the Sound. Hazlett, "the Pilgrim," is reported around again. There is a good deal of sentiment wasted on that old bum. Ex-Senator Nesmith was reported se riously ill at Portland last Mondpy, ap parently suffering from appoplexy. The buildings on the west side of Main, south of Squemoqua, are being raised to correspond with the grade. Yesterday was cloudy, sultry and opressive, and a cool breeze from the ooean at sunbown gave a general feeling of relief. Howard, the Portland "hotel keeper,"' convicted of stealing $2,000 from a man irho afterward committed suicido by rea son of his loss, gets six years at Salem. There is probably enough of the $2,GO0 left to insure an effort to have him par doned. Ingersoll's lecture, as reported in 3'es terday's Oregonian reads well, and is a brilliant specimen of that brilliant or ator's powers. But if read slowly, if taken up line by line and scrutinized, the sophistry of a portion of his remarks is discernible. Political argument waxes warm and it does not look as though many votes would be cast without a general understanding as to who and what each man was voting for. In the meantime the election is a good ways off and it is hardly time yet to get excited about national affairs. An old reprobate named Frank Bruno made a disgusting exhibition of himself in front of D. L. Beck k Son's yesterday for nearly an hour. He is a chronic nuisance and ought to be kept where wo men and children walking on the streets at noon need not have their sensibilities shocked by the foul mouthed brnte. About one o'clock yesterday morning Sheriff Ross was delighted by the an nouncement that the jury in the Elmore case had agreed to disagree. J. Elmore had been tried for assault and battery but the jury couldn't unanimato and were discharged. Yesterday Ed. Alder dyce was found guilty of petty larceny, and M. Oonlon was given a jury trial ana acquitted. The grand juryj is still at work. A communication was read from C. W. Stone, tendering his resignation as coun cilman. Councilman Cleveland moved that Mr. Stone's resignation be accepted. Carried. Councilman Cleveland then nominated Q. G. Smith to fill the va canoy. Mr. Smith was unanimously elected. In the interests of economy, Councilman Trenchard moved that the police force be reduced one man. The motion was carried, and the chief of police instructed to so reduce the force. On motion council adjourned. It would appear that the order of the war department removing Capt. Powell is not in accordance with the best in terests of the great work now in process of preparation the improvement of the Columbia river bar. Capt. Powell has familiarized himself with the work; he Jmows more about it than anyother man however competent, could acquire in some considerable time, and The Asto kian suggests that proper representation be made to tho department, by our chamber of commerce, in regard to this matter. Doubtless Portland will cooperate with us and by placing the matter in its proper light, the present able engineer may bo retained. The Coining Jubilee Singers. This world-renowned troupe will be at Occidental Hall next Friday evening. Of their performance in Portland, the Ore gonian says: The Original Nashville Students made their first appearance before a Portland Audience last evening at the Mechanics' pavilion. They proved themselves thor oughly worthy of the high encomiums showered upon them by the press and pulpit, The audience was del ighted with the entertainment; to many it was a nov elty; to those who have seen performan ancesof like nature given by other organ izations, it was a revelation of a high type of jubilee performances. It was real; no imitation, no burlesque, but the darkies out and out, just as he may be seen in the sunny south. The members of the company have powerful voices, full of rich and tuneful melody. The programme consists of a large variety of selections given in solo, duet, trio, quar- -tefc and chorus. The Ma gnolia trio are especially to bo complimented upon the manner in which their selections were given. The male quartet is one of the best. They were loudly applauded and recalled four times; every number was given with a power and pathos that de chtod and charmed. At the close the comical sketch "Old Shady is Gwine up North," was given and received with loud applause. Reserved seats at New York Novolty Store. Probable Remoral of Capt. Pouell. Orders have been promulgated from the war department at Washington, says iha Oregonian, relieving Capt. Charles F. Powell, TJ. S. engineer in charge of public works in the department of the Columbia, and ordering Major W. A. Jones, TJ. S. engineer corps, to take charge. Capt. Powell is unable to state just when he leaves, nor on what duty he will engage upon his arrival in the east, bt will probably go within a month or six weeks. Major Jones,- who succeeds him, is now stationed at San Francisco. The change is one of about a dozen made by the same order, and is in accordance with the usual custom of transferring of ficers from one department to another at atated intervals. It seems impolitio to make changes of this character at regu lar periods, particularly when the offioer in caarge is engaged in so many works as Capt. Powell has on his hands now. He has thoroughly familiarized himself with the river work during his residence here, Ic&ows the needs of the shipping interests and is well equipped with all the knowl edge and energy necessary to push the 4ttral works. He ought not to be trans Jlfrtfl ratil after the present season. CITT COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS. The Ubual Routine of Work Resignation of Conncllman StoneG.G. Smith Elected to Fill the Vacancy. The city council met in regular session last evening, Mayor Hume in the chair; present Councilmen Case, Cleveland, Dealy, Cooper and Trenchard; in atten dance T. S. Jevett, auditor and clerk, C. "W. Loughrey, chief of police, Geo. No land, city attorney. A petition was read from tho proprie tors of Blue Anchor saloon asking trans fer of license to them from former proprietor.

M. offering $339 for three acres in Clatsop cemetery, providing they had first choice, was read and proposition accepted.

Standard, 12th.J A regular meeting of the board of trade was held last evening, President Macleay presiding. J. Fred Clarke said that ho intended visiting Scotland and England to lecture and exhibit dissolving views of Oregon and vicinity, and as the expense of get ting up such work would be considerable, and as Oregon would bo benefited by his tour, he asked n contribution from the board, and on motion of Mr. Deknm, seconded by Mr. White, $200 was voted bim. There being no other business before the meeting, Captain Ingersoll drew the attention of the board to tho good work done by the steamer Walla Walla in sluicing St. Helen's bar, and said that Walker's bar was in a bad condition. It could easily be remedied in the same man ner. Captain Ingersoll stated that he was agent for the Olive S. Southard that had gone aground on this bar, and it had cost the owners $3,700 to get her off. He also drew the attention of tho members present to tho fact that tho steamer Ore gon was stuck fast on the same bar on her last trip down, and it was at first thought by Mr. Prescott that sho would have to be lightered of a portion of her cargo before she could get off. Mr. In gersoll also said that every pilot had a different channel across this bar, but the fact of the matter was that there was no channel. Ho introduced a resolution that Captain Powell do all in his power to have the bar at Walker's island sluiced, and there being no other business tho board adjourned. ROILED DOWN.

In the United States senate on the 3rd of July, Senator Dolph of this state de livered a speech on the subject of the land grant, the senate, as in committee of tho whole, having under consideration the bill to forfeit the unearned lauds granted to the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad Com pany to aid in the construction of n rail road and telegraph line from the states of Missouri and Arkansas to the Pacific coast, and to restore the same to settle ment. His speech was a complete history of the disposition of the public lands, the origin of the land grant policy, and its connection with the Republican and Democratic parties. It was also an argu ment that if the main grant of the North ern Pacific railroad be forfeited no road can or will be built icros the Cascades. With that portion of the senator's speech Tin: AsroauN' has in this instance nothing to do. But when ho comes to talk of THE ASTOniA LAND OBANT, ho comes right square out and takes the stand that whs expected of him as n sen ator representing tho great common wealth of Oregon. He says: By an act of congress entitled rAn act granting lands to aid in tho construction of a railroad and telegraph line from Portland to Astoria and McMinnville, in the stato of Oregon,' approved May 4, 1870, there was granted to the Oregon Central Railroad Compaq, its successors and assigns, for the purpose of aiding in the construction of a railroad and tele graph line from Portland to Astoria, and from a suitable point of junction near Forost Grove to the Yamhill river, near McMinnville, in the state of Oregon, be sides the usual right of way, materials for construction and necessary land for stations, each alternate section of tho public lands (not mineral, excepting coal and iron) designated by odd numbers nearest the said road, to tho amount of ten such alternate sections per mile upon each sido thereof not otherwise dis posed of or reserved, or held by valid homestead or pre-emption right at the time of tho passage of said -act. Immediately after tho passage of said act the said Oregon Central Railroad Company constructed its railroad from Portland to St. Joseph, about ono and a half miles from McMinnville, and about forty-eight miles from Portland. The line as constructed passes in the vicinity of the town of Forest Grove. Tho road so constructed, and the lands, earned and un earned, have been transferred to and are now owned by tho Oregon and California Railroad Company, another Oregon cor poration incorporated for the purpose of constructing a railroad from Portland to the southern boundary or the state. Tho latter company is engaged in the construction of the southern extension of its road to connect with the California and Oregon Railroad, now owned by tho Central Pacific Railroad Company, and which is being extended northward to meet the Oregon and California Rail road, and thus form railroad connection between the cities of San Francisco, Cal.. and Portland Oregon. The Oregon and California Railroad Company also owns an extension of tho Oregon Central road, built by still auoth er company, the Western Oregon Rail road Company, from St Joseph to Cor vallis, in Benton County, Oregon, a distance of about fifty miles, and is engaged in constructing an extension of the said road from Corvallis to a junc tion with the Oregon and California road at Junction City in Lane County. Preliminary surveys of the lino from Forest Grove to Astoria have been made by the Oregon Central and Oregon and California Railroad companies, but noth ing has been done toward tho construc tion of that part of tho line. Petitions have been presented to congress at the present and at previoas sessions, praying for the forfeiture of tho unearned por tion of the grant. Tho petitioners most ly reside at Astoria and along the west ern end of the proposed line from Forest Grove to Astoria. Tho committee on public lands early in tho session reported favorably a bill to forfeit tho unearned portion of this grant; that is, tho grant for that portion of the road from Forest Grove to Astoria. I expect to support that bill. I shall do so not for the reason that the citizens of any locality or localities have petition ed for the forfeiture of the grant, for I think that tho citizens of tho entire state of Oregon have an interest in the con struction of the road, and consequently in tho forfeiture of tho grant, but I shall support the bill for the reason that the construction of this part of the road, which may properly bo termed a branch, has never been commenced, and, so far as I can see; is not likely to be under taken withm a reasonable time by the company. Applying the rule which I think should govern in determining the question of forfeiture to this grant, I think the lands ought not further to bo withheld from the market without some satisfactory assurance of tho speedy con struction of the road.

While chatting with an old antiquari- nn in his cool library this afternoon, I casually inquired how this town came by its peculiarly suggestive name. "Did the original Judge of dreadful fame ever live here?" I asked. Tes, he did," replied the old gentle man, with brightening eyes that revealed delight in tho topic. "Judge Lynch might fairly be called the founder of tho city, and it makes me angry to see all these newspaper stores, not only locating him in other states, but condemning his mode of procedure as infamous and" brutal." 'Then you believe in the summary method of dealing with sinful men?" "Not so fast, young lady, not so fast,' said the fine old Virginian, smiling. "I will tell you the story just as I had it from my grandfather, who was proud of his acquaintance with that shrewd ferry man who wiped the crime of horse-stealing, for which the stato was growing fam ous, right out. Why, Vircinians were notorious for their love of other men's horses, and even taught the trade of ac quiring them tothoCherokeesandChick asaws, much to the disgust and shome of tho better class of citizens." "When was this?' queried 3our corre spondent. "Not long before the Revolutionary war, and at that time there were quite a number of that splendid race, the Scotch Irish, settled here. Shrewd and brave, cautious yet daring, dashing but prudent, honest and energetic, every man of them proved a great blessing to the settlement, and not a few of them became famous, such as General Andrew Jackson, James K. Polk, John Calhoun, Sam Houston, David Crockett, Robert Fulton, rt trick Bronte, and later Robert Bonner, A. T. Stewart and Horaco Greely. These names come most readily to mind, but there is still another Generation of them. including President Arthur and our com ing President, dames lx. iilaine. "And the Lynches?" I ventured. "Were from the same stalwart stock, and settled in Prince Williams county. There wore four boys in the family, and oue of them, John Lynch, was a bright, quick young fellow and remarkably cour agous. Ono day in rambling about the head of James river, he found a gap in tho mountains on either side of the water, which, it struck him, would make a capital crossing point for travelers, and forthwith he drove his proprietary stake, and shortly after, with a few logs and an old scow, established a primitivo ferry. The horse thieves were among the first to tako advantage of tho now conven ience, and young Lynch, himself scrupu lously honest, was disgusted and humil iated at having to tako them across. At this timo tho country was sparsely sot tied, courts were few and jails far apart. Auoowiwimmui-uiu wuciuc, I'lHUny, the ferry became the favorite means of escape for tho stock dealers, and John Lynch, thoroughly aroused, promised to put an end to it." 'What could he do single-handed?"' "Well, I will tell you what he actually did. He applied to the governor of Vir ginia for a commission to act as justice of the peace. His reputation for honesty and good judgment was beyond a doubt, and his commission was granted. Ho was qualified and became a judge. The first use he made of his power was to ap point some special constables and engage a few sharp detectives. They at once be gan work with such success that gang after gang was captured." "Did they have no trial?" 'Yes. They were brought before Judge Lynch, and he never acted until he was positive of their guilt; and his knowledge of the men and the country was an immense advantage to him. If ho found them guilty he would, accord ing to the law, require n good bond, which, of course, in those days n thief could never get, and when the form was complied with would start them off well guarded to some far away jail. Tho con stables knew what the order of march meant, and as soon as they found them selves in tho thick wood, chose a stout tree, and with a good rope which they carried created a temporary scaffold from which the horse-thieves quickly dangled. Hanging was tho legal punishment for horse stealing in those days, but the promptness and dispatch with which Judge Lynoh meted out justice at their very door terrorized the evil-doers of the county, and, between those he hung and those who tied, in two yeara there was not a horse-thief in Virginia." "And what became of Judge Lynch?" "He continued to live near the ferry, round which a large village grew up un der the name of Lynch's Ferry, and not until long after his death did "it become Lynchburg. During his life lynch law was honored and upheld, but since then it has altogether lost its original charac ter and meaning. Now, as I understand it, it is merely tho infuriated impulse of a rough mob, who without waiting for the law at hand to prove innocence or guilt, decide on it according to their own inclination, and take a life perhaps more unblemished than their own. No," con cluded the gentleman, "John Lynch did this stato a service in ridding it of a lot of miscreants, who, but for him, were out of the reach of the law; but were ho living no one would bo quicker than he to re sent tnis barbarous mob fashion of put ting a man to sudden death when the law, the courts, tho prison nnd the scaf fold are close at hand to mete out justice and punishment.
