At this season, when game is plenty and every one who has a friend among the Nimrods of this city ma' expect to have a fat goose or brace of ducks sent round, the following from the Oregonian in regard to tho treatment of "high" game may prove useful: "Gime sei i from a distance often arrives so tainted as to be unfit for use. By painting the tainted parts with a strong solution of iodine, which quickly permeates the soft tissue, tho game must be very 'high in deed if all offensive smell is not at onco removed, and those partaking of it will have no idea of its over having been thought 'high.' ' Persons who have no iodine in tho house might whitewash the game, or eat it as it is and drink the io dine afterward, on reaching the first drug store. THE WILLIAM H. ST US BUCK. The Wm. II. Starbuch is off for New York. Sho is one of the finest of the many fine vessels that have loaded at this port, and is of special in terest to Astoriaus as being a vessel char tered by an Astorian A. "W. Berry loaded wholly here, carrying the first con signment of lumber from the Columbia river to New York, and transacting all her business at an expense that will com pare favorably with tho experience of vessels that go father inland. The Wm. II. Starbuch on her first trip to tho Co lumbia brought a cargo of railroad iron. A part of this sho discharged here, the rest being unloaded at a point on the Willamette, a hundred miles from the sea, where she took on a portion of her return cargo, finishing at Astoria and sailing for D. K. This time sho came in ballast from San Francisco, discharging here, and tak ing on her entire cargo at this point. To insure conformity with the Dmgley act Capt. Ried kept the greater part of his crew from the time he entered tho river, and through this entailed consider able additional expense, tho entire dis bursements of the vessel amount to but a trifle over $4,300. This is considered to be about as practical an argument as can be put forward regarding the advantage to ship owners of loading their vessels at Astons. The Starbucks cargo may be designated ns "various." Sho has 27,159 cases salmon, 115 M shingles, 12,500 feet cedar lumber, 120 M Oregon fir, 3G bundles junk, 411 sacks wool, 77 bales wool, 50 cases Wilhoit water, 6 barrels refined salmon oil, 117 bundles hides; 35GK barrels salt salmon. 29 barrels 114 half barrols and 40 kits salmon bellies, and 50 tons miscellaneous cargo.

A., whoso distinguished services at Hell Gato in New York harbor and else where havo made him famous, is on tho Columbia and will sail for San Frrncisco this morning. Learning of his arrival hero, a com mittee from tho chamber of commere consisting of Messrs. Gray, Hodden, Ber ry and others visited him informally yes terday evening in reference to the work soon to bo in progress at the mouth of Columbia, for tho permanent improve ment of tho bar. The general received thevisitors cordially. Ho said that the entire corps of D. S. engineers recognized tho great importance as a national mat ter of improving the bar, that in a work of such magnitude there was necessarily a considerable amount of preliminary work to be done which entailed apparent delay, but that the plans were all agreed upon, the specifications all drawn up and approved, and the work would be begun and pushed to completion as fast as pos sible. The fact that tho erosive storms of winter would tend to render progress somewhat slow if work was begun at this season of the year, was cited as one of the reasons for not beginning immedi ately, and this, together with the fact that the present appropriation is insuffi cient for more than preliminary opera tions necessitated apparent delay. ltecognizing tho necessity of giving the work the attention that its impor tance demands, the department decided to send Major W. A. Jonos to take charge of the government works on the upper vummuia, uuu give entire cuargo or tne work in this vicinity to Capt. Chas. F. Powell, whose able administration of af fairs is good guaranteo that it will be well performed. Gen. Newton is enthusiastic in relation to this work, and is wholly in accord with the idea that tho best interests of the northwest demands prosecution of the great work. riTY COUNCIL Pi:UCKUI.G.

He said: Last night we adjourned in courtesy to our friends on the other side. To night it is iu order for us to discuss the questions that underlie the principles of our government and see what is necessary to advance those principles. The Re publican party is a party of progress. Not satisfied with its glorious record it constantly presses forward, meeting new issues as they come and so adjusting them as to redound to the best interests of our country. The Democratic party always followed at a respectful distance fighting and growling at the party ahead of them,opposing its principles and ridiculing its policy, until both Republi can principles and Republican policy were proved to be the correct ideas and then and not till then did the Democratic party acknowledge that the Republican party was right The only plea that the Democratic par ty had now was that it was time for a change. "What did they have to offer as reason for a change? Take the ques tion of the tabiw. This Ls a question that is not new, but its great importance makes it foremost. As a theory, free trade is a fine idea. If this was the millenium; if we were all friends and brothers; if men in England, in Aus tralia, in Europe and Africa were all alike, if thov all thought the same way and wanted tho same thing in the samo way, then free trade would be good, lint we must take things as they are; we didn't have tho making of existing facts; must deal with circumstances as they find them. Self preservation Ls the first law of nature; after self comas family and friends; a nation is but an aggrega tion of individuals, and as a matter of business it is necessary for us to protect ourselves. We are not ready yet to copo with the nations a thousand years older than we. We must so arrange that labor shall not be as low as in Europe; we want to have a bettor living than they have in Europe, and the surest way of doing that is to have a wise tariff that will keep Europe from swamping us. Theory is one thing, practice Ls an other. The speaker quoted from official consular reports, and other sources show ing that without wiso protection we were left defenceless and at the mercy of the accumulated capital of Europe. The speaker contrasted twenty-three years of Republican administration with an equal time of preceding Democratic adminis tration greatly to the dotriment of the lutter regarding our national protperity. European manufacturers wore jealous of our prosperity; they looked with longing eyes to our shores, and our national wealth, improvement and tangible in crease proved to all that our protective policy was a wholesome public meas ure. Reduce the tariff and you paralyze ev ory branch of industry. If a change is good by all means let us have a change; if a change is needed, tho Republican party will advocate it, but let the Demo cratic party show somo reason for tho demand beyond asking for "a change." Wo had a good illustration of what free trade was right here in Astoria, for be fore the present "recipiocity treaty" went into effect a man on the Columbia could sond by the Jane. A. Falfrinburg to the Sandwich Islands, lumber and salmon, and get back sugar. Now that trade is gone. Cnder tho beautiful "reciprocity treaty" we havo no trado with tho Is lands and pay moro for our sugar. Can our freo trade friends explain this? All the Democratic speakers had talked on this question, but none were able to show how our country would prosper better under free trado than protective tariff. Col. Effinger gave it as "his own person al idea" that he didn't believe in taxa tion except as a means of carrying on the government. That gentleman didn't think that that was a party question, but thought that more Democrats believed as he did than did Republicans. The speak er thought that should the Democrats get into power they would come squarely out against tho country's best interests and declare for free trade. Tho loaders of the Democratio party had never favored THE HOMESTEAD LAW. In the old Blavery days they favored the acquisttion of territory out of which to make new states for the perpetuity of tho slave power. They didn't want set tlers nor settler's rights. To the Repub lican party was due the credit of the law that gave every man the right to tako up 1C0 acres of soil on which to live a freeman, independent and prosperous, enjoying tho benefits of a free govern ment. Land had been given to the corpora tions with too lavish a hand, but what ever the Republican party had done in that respect was only by following bad example set them by the Democrats. The only Democratic plea to-day is "Give us a change." Change was good sometimes. It might be well to take the sun out of the sky, but sunlight was good enough for most folks audit would be perhaps just as well to let the sun keep on shin ing as to try the experiment of getting a better light. Supposing there was a change: what would be done? The Dem ocratic programme Ls silent on that point. In regard to tho candidates it was well known that tho Democrats admitted Blaine's efficiency, his splendid public record, his great services as a public serv ant. Charges had been brought against Blaine: they had be6n met, conclusively, and it was conceded that no man in the nation would fill the presidential chair with greater propriety. The "Mulligan letters" were then dis cussed and explained, as has been dis cussed and explained a thousand times before. No man could live in tho fierce light that beats on the foremost intellect in the nation without making enemies. Mr. Cleveland had made few enemies. Why? He has never had either the abil ity to make himself distinguished, or the brains that command prominence. The E residency of the United States is tho ighest office on earth. Can we give it to say to the world that a man of Cleve land's calibre is the best man that we can get to set up as our exponent! Com pare the two men. Leave out of the question tho fact that England wants to humble us, to beat us by electing Cleve land, but look at the two men, as repre sentative Americans and decide. Next Tuesday we shall cast our ballots it is a high privilege, a great responsibil ity.! Let us vote as intelligent Americans, fully aware of our high destiny as a peo ple and with a due sense of the impor tance of so exercising our sovereignty as to insure the best results to the nation. A vote for Jas. G. Blaine is a vote for the right. At the close of Judge Bowlby's address three cheers were given for Blaine and Logan, three more for the speaker, and t.e meeting adjourned.

Joe. G. Charters, Prop. Buy your Lime of Gray at Portland price OREGON'S CADET. Was Haiinp the Canseor Tonus Strang's Death! " - Tho following appears in an Annapolis special to tho Now York Sun of the 18th: 'A court martial is now in progress at the Naval Academy for the purpose of trying several cadets accused of "run ning," which is a a mild type of hazing But in spite of the efforts of Superintend ent Ramsey and the special act of con gress against hazing, it exists unques tionably at Anapolis. There is good reason, in spito of denials, to think that tho death of young Strang, which occur red last week, was from tho effects of horse play on the part of the third class. This young man, who was a nophew of Lieut. Schwatka of arctic fame, was ap pointed from Oregon. He came to Wash ington and presented himself at the Navy Department. He is said to have been a very handsome young fellow, with bearing and manners equally prepossess ing. Secretary Chandler was so pleased with him that'he remarked after the boy left: "I am going to give that youngster a first-class chance on account of his looks. I want to see if there Ls not material for a good officer in such a look ing fellow." Strang went to tho academy, and with in twelve hours after getting there was in the hospital. His injuries resulted os tensibly from falling out of his ham mock. A surgical operation was neces sary, and the poor boy died from the ef fects. Therois, unfortunately, grounds for supposing tnat no was tatally hurt in an encounter with the third clas3, by be ing put in a barrel and rolled around un til the hazing party chose to let him out At one time the brutalities of hazing at Annapolis were frightful, an instance being known of a fourth class man who was held out ofa fourth-story window by third class men, who threatened every moment to drop him. Since Captain Ramsey has been at the academy he has used every means to stop tho hazing, and has succeeded in breaking it up in a measure; but it looks as if cadets would persist in it, in spite of .the certainty of dismissal. They are found out, and, what is worse, in violation of the oath taken on entering the academy to sup port the laws of tho United States, of which an act against hazing is one. As for running the fourth class men, that is extensively practiced. The fourth class aro not allowed to drink milk, "by order of tho first class." They aro put through a variety of harmless exercises, such as being turned out of their ham mocks at night, being forced to sing with a stick between their teeth, and other boyish tricks. Superintendent Ramsey is as much down on this as on actual haz ing, for tho cadets are apt to forget where guying ends and brutality begins. A DENIAL OF C1IAKUES. Editor Astoeiak: I seo by the last issue of the Pacific Journal certain charges against John "Wood, charging him with stealing tira bor from school lands on the south fork of the Nasel river. These charges I know to be utterly false, and entirely without foundation, and I believe made, at this time, for political effect alone. During the summer of 1S33, the time alluded to by the Journal, I was foreman of Mr Wood's camp at that place, nnd under strict instructions, from Mr. Wood, to be very careful and not cross the lino in cut ting timber, and can state positively that not a log was cut, as charged by the Journal, upon section 1G, by any man in Mr. Wood's employ. I am perfectly fa miliar with the lines in that vicinity, and have no hesitation in making affidavit to this statement. I will aLso state, that every log cut was scaled upon the bank, and duly credited to Everett Bumham. The dam, built upon section 1G, en hances tho value of that section many hundred dollars, and has done no mate rial damage whatever. Manly t. BEnnr. Territory of Washington ) County of Pacific: I, J. S. M. Van Cleavo, Probate Judge of said counry, hereby certify that the above statement, was subscribed and sworn to boforo me by Manly T. Berry on this 28th day of October, 1834.

Utica, Oct 28. A private meeting of Conkling stalwarts of this city has been held, and it has leaked out that the sub jects under consideration were the issu ing of an address recounting the griev ances of the signers on account of Blaine and his friends here in Conkling's old homo, and the possibility of getting the ex-senator to speak against Blaine be fore the canvass closes. Tho address it is semi-officially said, is signed by sixty names. It goes into tho history of Re publican politics in Onoida county since about 18m, when the stalwarts claim Conkling's opponents beat a Mr. Gridly for tho state senate. The stalwarts claim 900 in Oneida county who will either vote for Cleveland or St. John or not at all. This number is regarded by the Re publican managers as grotesquely exag gerated.
