The principal evt-nt of yesterday was tho launching; of the Astoria and Coast Transportation Company's new steamer, tho Emma Hnmc, which took place at 2:40 v. a. Tho day was all that could be desirod, tho vssl was beautifully deco rated, and a very large crowd of people g.uuer.u to sie her slide oft tne ways. J'verj thine bring ready the shores and spurn were knucluxl .w iv and amid a uight cheer from tho-e on board which was rr turned from the crowd that lined the leaeh the beautiful craft glided gracefully into the water and rounded lmoyaiillv on tho stream where she w:ls taken m tow by the Sam and docked at tho Main street wharf. The craft has been described at length before and i3 a credit to her builders and owners. She was named after the wife of William Hume, tho pioneer salmon canner of the Columbia river. She will be ready for business about December 1st. Her first trip will probably be with several car loads of machinery to the Wishkah mills, and it is to be hoped that a profitable northern trade awaits her. She is the latest addition to the now large fleet of river and coast steamers that aro destin ed to ba an important factor in the wealth and growth of Astoria. Prett) Kettle of Fhb. A spicy and entertaining correspond ence for tho people of this region has passed between Cyrus W. Field, tho great railroad and telegraph magnate, and Horaeo White, tho editor of tho New York Post and, for i: long time, treasurei of the O. It. & N. Co. This was pub lished in the Chicago Tnter-Ocean and covered five solid columns ofjhat paper. Mr. Field very distinctly charges that during the latter part of Carl Schurz's administration as secretary of the inte rior and under Mr. Hayes, the said Carl Schurz, who has been tho paid Oratoi Puff of every pirty and faction, was in tho employ of Henry Villard, then presi dent of the Northern Pacific, that Villara and White bought out the Post and xiut Schurz in as editor, after the latter went out of office, to boom tho Northern Pa cine, 0. 11. & N. and other "Villards,' aud that this was in payment for Secre tary Schurz's decisions" in favor of the railroad company. 3Ir Field furthei charges in this epistolary resolution that Villard. Schurz and Godkin, another Post editor, left White behind to sell stocl while they went west to "drive tho golden spike;" that Villard as president, ant White as treasurer of tho O. It. & N. road, issued and divided between iuem selves and associates .OJJjOOJ more stock than was neeessary to build thi road, for which is3ue this company re ceived "'water;" that while Villard ant. White wcro m office they perniited the company to charge itself higher rates foi carrying its own construction materia than it charged others for like service, thus making fictitious earnings on whicl to declare dividends. This letter also avers that White, as treasurer of tii3 O. 11. & N. compiuy, lo med Villard a large sum of the company's money without se carity, and that afterwards Mrs. Villard x'oluntarily gave up her private property to secure thu loan. Mr. Field, after re counting theso transactions, evidently spells sarcastic with a K in tho middle of that adjective, as he lets loose froa his taut bent bow a quivering Parthiai arrow in parting from Mr. White, like the follewing: "It surprises no one thai the state of Mr. Villard's health and tlu wish to educate his children, required him a few weeks afterward to sack re tirement in a quiet town in Germany.' Tacoma Ledycr, 21. 0 ror-SenU 1 1 reaess. There are some peop'o always looking out for slights. They cannot carry on the daily intercourse of the family with out some offense is imagined. If they meet an acquaintance on tho street who happens to be pre-occupied with business tqey attribute his abstraction to soire mood personal to themselves, and take umbrage accordingly. They lay on others tho fact of their irritability. A fit of indigestion makes them see impert inence in every one they come in contact with. Innocent parsons, who never dreamed of giving offense, are astonish ed to imu some unfortunate word or mo mentary taciturnity mistaken for an in sult. To say tho least the habit is unfor tunate. There are people in this world who have something to do besides talk ing, joking, and complimenting. There are parsons who get too weary to answer foolish questions repeated again and again. There are persons who now and then appreciate the privilege of a mo ment's thought or silence, and it is not needful for over-sensitive persons to con strue weariness and care aud labor into indifference, uukiudness or contempt It is far wiser to take the more charitable view of our fellow-beings and not sup pose a slight is intended unloss the slight is open and direct. After all, too, life takes its hues in a great degree from the color of our mind. If wo arc frank and generous, tho world treats us kindly. If, on the contrary, we aro suspicious, men learn to be cold and cautious toward us. Let a parson get tho reputation of being touchy, everybody is nnder moro or less restraint, and in this way tho chance of an imaginary offence is vastly increased.

Ills Alleged ConTlctlon that he Would sot Succeed ia the Presidential Canvass. One of the things that thoso who do- ( termined upon tho nomination of Blaine hud to contend against was his own seem ing indifference. Tho reports that went abroad last winter that tho politicians who visited him at his Washington rosi deuco were driven almost to despair by his refusal to advise, encourage, some times even to listen to anything respecting his contemplated nomination, were in the main true. His old friends could not understand this. Tho Blaine "that they had known in former canvasses for the nominations was resolute, resourceful, almost imperious. He never mado any pretense of what he deemed false mod esty about seeking for political honors and seeking with all his might. Last winter, however, and through the spring up to a short time before his nomination, he was so indifferent, displaying even less interest than he would if tho proposed candidate was a man whom ho neither knew or cared about, that the friends who were so hot in his causa finally de cided not to bother him, but to go ahead in their own way. El kins who knew Mr. Blaixo as well as tho candidate 6ver per mitted any man to know him, and Phelps, who regards his relationship as of tho most intimate character, both agreed that, if they were successful in their ef forts to uominato Blaine, the old fire would blaze up again, and that he would be at the head of his party in the canvass before many weeks passed by. It was supposed that Blaine's indifference arose from tho fact that ho was worn and weary with the turmoil, personal vexa tions, and risks of active political life, and that ho found greater delight than no had believed in the library, with his pen, and in the quiot and refined social nfe that was possible in Washington to a man of his eminence and political standing. Whiio there was undoubtedly some foundation for this surmise, yet it by no means explained tho reason for Blaise's indifference. There is the best of au thority for saying that Blaine, while he believed his nomination could bo secured, .vas convinced that he could not be elect ed, aud that in spite of hope raised dur .ng the canvass, and tbe stifling of that conviction by the excitement caused by the extraordinary personal convass that jo made, tho conviction has, in fnot, never left him. If the truth were known, t would probably bo found that Blaine .vas prepared for a muoh larger plurality lgainst him than has been developed in New York state. Last spring Blaine was visited in Washington by an eminent ousiness man, who is at tho head of one jf the largest corporations in the United States. To this man Blaine said, in ef iect, that he should not bo surprised if jo was nominated at Chicago, but that jo should be far from disappointed if ho .vas not. When with some surprise, he .vas asked why not, Blaine replied that a nomination would only entail a long season of personal exoitement, labor and mnoyance, without result. In other Aords, he believed that it was not possi ble for him to be elected. When asked igain why ho so believed, he said that he .vas satisiied that ho could not oarry New fork state. He was convinced that while tho factional warfare in tho party in that itate had practically died out, yet bis nomination would revive it, sufficiently it least, to lead enough stalwarts to care oiore for revengo thun for party success. fn other words," said Blaine, "oaough stalwarts will knife me to dofeat tuo party." Tnat conviction Blaine carried with him through the canvass, though until xithin a short time befora election day uis party managers did not share it. Uluiue never thought that there would jo any organized resistance on tho part jf the stalwarts, but he expected that tho word would be passed along quietly imong them, or thoso of them who could t9 trusted, that their opportunity had jome. The result shows, in part at least, jo w well lifamb's anticipations were real ized. The national committee received a uint or suggestion some weeks ago that a quiet understanding existed among tho italwarts in some parts of tho state, and this, coupled with decidedly unpleasant symptoms of apathy, unskiliiully veiled by pretended energy on the part of cer tain members of tho state committee, led tho national oommitte to attempt to take dteps to counteract this danger. There wero men on tho state committe who were never fully trusted either by Blaine or thoso who were managing his canvass. Blaine could not bring himself to put entire confidence in Piatt, though ho was assured that no one was working for him with more zeal than Piatt, as no ono displayed more energy and skill in secur .ng his nomination. Yet Blaine remem bered that but for the nomination of Robertson for collector, Piatt would have been in the United States senate to-day, and that the extraordinary spec tacle that Piatt gave opportunity for witnessing oy reason oi nia presence in Chicago as a most effective Blaine work er, was probably not because he loved Blaine moro. but because he had for certain well-known reasons come to love President Arthur less. Blaine could not wholly conquer a suspicion that Piatt was subtle and able enough to contem plate a game in politics whereby when it was finished he could say: "Well played; I have seen one man beaten for tho nomination by the man by whom of all others ho would have wished not to bo beaten, and then I have seen the suc cessful ono requited for what he caused to happen four years ago." Whether Piatt is capable of conceiving and exe cuting such exquisite double revengo as this or not, it is certain that ho was com plimented by Blaine and some of his friends with the suspicion of such ability. It became known, too, that Conkling without once, so far as could be learned, lifting his finger to influence any ono, had been asked for advice by friends, many of whom aro still devoted to him, and had not hesitated to say that he should not voto for Blaine. George C. Gorham, too, the bright Stalwart, who so vigorously defended Conkling in the memorable contest that preceded his resignation from the senate, and who never hesitated to attack Blaine in vig orous English in his paper, the Washing ton licpuulican, was tho object of sus picion. For, though Gorham went to Chicago, where he astonished his friends by doing most effective work for Blaine, yet Blaine's intimates were disposed to rogard him as a Greek bearing gifts. This suspicion was not allayed after Blaine's nomination when Mr. Gorham mado mysterious and apparently purpose less visits to the hotbed of Stalwartism and Blainephobia in the central part of the state. Can it bo, then, Blaine's friends ask themselves, that his s&s- gicions were well grounded, and that the talwarts who fell out with President Arthur have conceived and executed the subtlest of all political double revenges? Are Conkling. Piatt, Gorham and other Stalwarts quistly galling aad saying. "We are quits now with both Arthur and Blaine?" Blaine, though extremely practical and hard-headed, is a firm believer in destiny of fate, and, as his nearest friends know, has been for somo years firmly convinced that thero were coincidences botween his career and that of Henry Clay that would bo continued to tho end of the chapter. In what shape destiny would defeat him for the presidency ho was unable to tell until it was pointed out to him by the death of Garfield, which endtfd tho factional fight in New York, but left scars sensitive onlv to Blaine's touch. Like Clay, destiny of defeat was hidden for him in New York, and was controlled by a handful of men. THK DE TODKO ASSAULT. D&Bgtr That tha Chronicle Proprietor 3taj Die. Sam Fbaxcisco, Nov. 30. Tho Spreck-els-De Young affair has been the talk of the town to-day. Bat one opinion is ex pressed, and that is that the assault was unprovoked and dastardly. Spreckles says that ho entered tbe Chronicle office with the intention of protesting against abuse heaped upon bis firm, and not with the pnrpose of shooting Do Young, but when be addressed the latter ho reached for his pistol and he (Spreckles) fired to save himself. The story is rather lame and it is not corroborated by witnesses of tho affray. Although the assault is considered cowardly in the extreme, it is not without its apologists, who excuse it on the ground that the Chronicle has long been aggressive, and that "Mike De Young deserves it on general princi ples." Many believe that the old mat ter at issue was not the cause of the trouble, and this theory is sustained by the fact that late comments upon the Spreckles firm have not been more severe than others which had preceded it at intervals during tho past two years. "Why," it is asked, "should Adolph Spreckels pass over a hundred galling criticisms and take fire at tho last over a trifle? And why should he wait till Wednesday night to avenge an attack made Sunday morn ing?" It is said that De .Young and Spreckels were rivals a year ago in an amour, and that there grew up a bitter personal hatred between them, quite in dependent of the old business feud. It is further said that De Young recentlv came into possession of letters implicat ing Spreckels in another scandal, and that, prompted by personal feeling, he had threatened to print them; and that this was the causo of Spreckels' assault. These stories had a flavor of probability, but are given as mero rumors, which they are. Do Young's condition is favorable, but he is not out of danger. The doctors fear that inflammation may reach the largo arteries in the shoulder, and in that event death would almost certainly re sult.
