ATTEMPT ATBCHKLIKY.
Three pistol shots and the cry of "Stop
thief!" at half past nine last evening
sent a crowd running up West 9th street
from whence the sound proceeded. It
appears that just before, Capt. Geo. W.
Wood, who lives on the corner of Arch
and West 9lh street, heard some one try
ing to effect an entrance, by the window,
and springing up and out on the porch
caught a Chinaman and dragged him
into the room. He turned to get some
more clothes when tho Chinaman made
a jump for the door, Wood after him in
hot pursuit, firing his revolver as he ran.
The Chinaman eluded his pursuer, but
ten minutes afterward was caught by
John Brown and Officer Carlson on the
corner of Cedar and West Cth streets.
He was taken to Capt. Wood's residence,
who promptly identified him by a mark
he had made on the Mongolian's dexter
optic, and the would-be burglar was tak
en to tho city jail.
This burglary business has cone about
far enough, and it is about time that
summary measures were taken to check
it. Scarcely a night passes by that some
famliy is not disturbed by an amateur
thief who hardly ever gets within range
of a revolver long enough to get what he
deserves.

THE 1IEKBERT TRIAL.
A Verdict of "border In Xbe Secoad Decree''
Sentence of the Prisoner
"For Life."
"When the large crowd in and around
Liberty hall dispersed last Monday night
and left the prisoner awaiting tho do
liberations of tho twelve men who held
his life in their Lands, there was a wide
diversity of opinion in the discussion
that the trial elicited. The jury retired
at ten minutes past eleven; immodiutely
thej' balloted on a verdict, the result be
ing four for murder in the first degree,
four for murder in the second degree,
three for manslaughter, and one for ac
quittal. A second ballot was taken an
hoar later with substantially the same
result. Tho night wore on and morning
paled tho gas lights in the jurj' room and
still thero was no verdict. When the
sheriff brought the jury out lo breakfast
there was a general impression that a ver
dict was readj" to be given, but such was
not the case; after breakfast tho discus
sion was resumed, and it noon tho jury's
ballot was eleven for murder in the sec
ond degree and ono for manslaughter.
Tho afternoon wore on, and as the hours
went bj a good many thought that 'a
hung jury" was tho result. Sborlff Ross
and tho bailiffs were proof against all
questions, and nothing could bs learned
about tho state of affairs, till at twenty
iuinutes past six tho jury sent word that
they had a verdict. As soon as the neces
sary officers, counsel, etc., were on hand
Judge Ta3ior asked. "Gentlemen, have
yon agreed upon a verdict?" "Wo have.'
replied tho foreman, handing it up. It
was read and handed to County Clerk
Trenchard, who read it aleud: "We, tho
jury in tho above entitled cause, find the
defendant guilt of murder in the second
degree." Tho strain on tho prisoner
broke his assumed quiet and he burst
into tears. If ever a man w.is genuinely
sorry for his act Charles Herbert was
when he heard tho verdict of the jury
that, though it was accompanied by a
recommendation to mercy, can have but
one termination imprisonment for life.
The friends of Herbert were more sorry
than surprised at the verdict, and the
general opinion of tho majority of th
people is that it is a just verdict, and one
that the circumstances and evidence jus
tified the jury in rendering. Not a few
there are who thought that a verdict of
murder in the first degree would have
been justified by the facts, but it is an
extreme case that will norvj twelve men
to sign a verdict that deprives a fellow
mortal of tho life so dear to all.
Tho prisoner was given till nine o'clock
to decide if he wanted a new trial. At
that hour he was brought into court and
said he would not ask for a new trial:
the court then asked if he wished to be
sentenced forthwith, or ask the time al
lewed: ho said he would waive tho privi
lege and asked for immediate sentence.
The court then directed him to stand up
and asked him if ho had anything to
say before sentenco was pronounced up
on him. Herbert rose, and in a broken
voice said that ho was sorry for tho com
mission of the deed and asked that the
court be merciful. Judge Taylor said
that he had no option in the matter: that
the law prescribed the sentence and he
could but carry out tho plain mandate of
the law: ho then said, "the judgment of
this court is that you bo imprisoned in
tho penitentiary at Salem for tho term
of your natural life." Herbert sank
back in his seat, and in a few moments
followed tho sheriff buck to jail.
WHAT DO TOD THINK ATJOUT IT I
If a hundred men of polite address,
fluent speech, and ready wit wero to call,
weekly or monthly, pach upon a hundred
others and get their attention long
enough to say "John Smith has made
great improvement in his business,' or
that "Jones or Brown, at such a place,
have a complete and full line of goods,"
we will readily conceive that tho services
of theso one hundred men would be of
great service to Smith and Jones, and of
groat advantage to tho party to whom
the statement was made. The hundred
men could not be employed to go from
place some small and distant places
and make this statement to five thousand
or ten thousand people at less than a
cost of 5,000 or 10,000 each trip. All
this is donoby the newspaper at a cost
of a few dollars, and tho visits are mado
daily or weekly as the caso may be. The
messenger who travels addresses himself
to the ear, and takes the party addressed
when ho may have his thoughts absorbed
in business or other matters; but the
newspaper reaches tho party sought
through the eye when the reader has
his thoughts solely fixed upon tho paper
before him. But thoso who affect to be
lieve that there is little uso in advertising
urge, as an objection, that advertise
ments aro not read. They can easily be
convinced of their error in thiu r&spect
by making inquiry. Let them insert an
advertisement, offering to purchsiso some
article that is tolerably plenty in the
market, and they will bo flooded with
offers to sell before the ink of the adver
tisement is dry. An enterprising news
paper, with an extensive circulation, is
in position to do tho advertiser great
good. A man's sign offers a mute invita
tion to those only who pass his place of
business; his circulars can only reach
those to whom particular attention is
given; but his advertisement in a news
paper goes into the highways and by
ways, finding customers and compelling
ihem to consider his argument.
Chinese merchants of this city, says
tho Oregonian, who shipped 15,009 sacks
of flour to Hong Konj on tho William
II. Bcssc, have found tho venture a losing
one. Last year there was something
made on flour shipped to Hong Kong,
and it was supposed that the Franco
Chinese war might create a groatsr de
mand this year. Bat the calculation
was incorrect, and tho flour shipped,
which cost a little over $1 a sack at
Hong Kong, is being sold at from 80 to
90 cents. Tho market for spars and lum
ber has been Tery good and a very hand
some profit was realized on tho cargo of

THE CITY CIURTER.
An Argument For the Property qualification
Claused
Astobia, Jan. 27, 1S35.
Ed. Asteriax:
I have read and listened to all the criti
cisms and objections to the amendments
to the city charter proposed by tho cham
ber of commerce; and in all I have read,
or heard spoken, on the subject I do not
find airy valid, legal or practical objec
tion to the amendment, and specially
none against the amendment restricting
the right of suffrage to tax payers in the
city. The objections to that amendment
as "far as I have noticed arc that it would
be unauthorized by our state constitution
and therefore illegal. A little considera
tion and investigation of that matter I
think, will show such objections to be un
founded. The city of Astoria is a "corporation"
the saxn as are all school districts iu the
state of Orogon, tho same as are all rail
road companies, manufacturing com
panion, or the many other kinds of incor
porated companies, xs the salmon
canning companies, etc.
The constitution of Orogon, Article XI,
Ssc 2, reads as follews: "Corporations
may be formed under general laws, but
shall not be created by special laws, ex
cept for municipal purposes. All laws
passed pursuant to this section may be
altered, amended or repealed, but not bo
as to impair or destroy any vested cor
porate rights.' 3 "Tho stockholders
of ael corporations and joint stock com
panies shall be liable for the indebtedness
of said corporation to tho ninourt of
their stock subscribed and paid up and no
more."
Sec. 3 is introduced to show that all
corporations in Orogon, are, by the con
stitution, simply considered alike in tho
matter of their powers and liabilities, no
matter whether created by special act of
the legislature or formed uudor the gen
eral laws of the stale.
Sec 2 shows plainly that all laws crea
ting corporations may be altered, amend
ed, or repealed (by the legislature of
course), but not so as to impair or de
stroy vested corporate rights.
The legislature created the corporation
of Astoria, and can amend tho act of in
corporation in any manner so as not to
impair vested corporate rights. Increas-
or unnmismuj; iuu uumucr, or uuar-
actcr of the city officers, or tho manner
of electing or appointing tbem, or in
creasing or diminishing their salaries,
would not be impairing, or in any man
ner affecting "vested corporate rights."
So much concerning tho right of the
legislative assembly to amend the city
charter in any manner they see fit, so
as not to impair vested corporate rights.
On tho subject of natural rights, the
constitution says, see bill of rights, first
clause,-" Wo declaro that all men. when
they form a social compact, are equal in
rights;" etc Now tho city of Astoria is
not a social compact, formed by the peo
ple thereof; but rather a chartered cor
poration, created by tho legislative as
sembly of Oregon, upon tho petition of
some ten or fifteen persons in 185C; and
tho act creating that corporation bus
been amended, or replaced by a new
charter, three or four time3 since its first
enactment, and each time upon the peti
tion of a very few of tho citizens of tho
town. And what has been done in our
case has been likewise done in the case
of Portland and several of the larger
cities in Oregon, all which further shows
that the legislative assembly has full
power and right to amend our charter in
such manner as they think for the best
interest of our city and its citizens: pro
vided rested corporate rights are not iwi
jmircd. On the subject of suffrage and elections
the state constitution says, Art. II, Sea.
2, "In all elections not otherwise pro
vided for in this constitution, every
white male citizen of the United States,"
etc. etc., defining fully who "shall be en
titled to vole at all elections authorized
bylaw." This reads "in all elections
not otherwise provided for in this consti
tution." But the elections iu all corporations,
in school districts, cities, towns, railroad
corporations, etc., etc., are otherwise pro
vided form this constitution. So tho
qualifications of voters in those corpora
tions need not necessarily be the same
as they are in the stato ana county elec
tions to "which the requirements of sec. 2
apply. For instance tho election of the
officers to manage tho district schools is
not provided for in tho general terms of
the constitution., but they are otherwise
provided for in the constitution. They
are provided for in Sec 3 of Art. VIII,
thus: "The legislative assembly shall
provide by law for the establishment of
a uuifonn and general system of com
mon schools."
And hence the legislative assembly in
1SC3, twenty years ago, enacted the pres
ent school law of tho state, authorizing
tho resident taxpayers to organize school
districts, which thence became corpora
tions, all over tho state. They elect of
ficers, levy taxes and collect the same,
hire teachers, and carry on schools
some single districls in the stato expand
ing yearly in maintaining their schools
four times as much monoy as it takes to
carry on the city government of Astoria.
And yet in these school district elec
tions nobody is permitted to vote except
resident taxpayers. Who ever beard
complaint in our school district that ev
erybody, including non-taxpayers, could
not vote?
Tho legislature has tho sauio power to
restrict tho suffrage in incorporated
cities that it has in school districts to
resident taxpayers. And it ought to do
it.
Nearly ev6ry person that I know of,
objecting to the amendment, seems to
admit that some suitablo qualification
for voters, or restriction of suffrago more
than at present exists in our city, and in
cities generally, ought to bo required;
but they think as it would be a new thing
it would not take well with tho majority
of those who would be left out. I think
however to limit suffrago to tax paying
persons in cities would be a great incen
tive to large numbers, of those now not
taxpayers, to become taxpayers immedi
ately, beforo the first election under tho
amended charter. Certainly if they
cared for the right of suffrage in our city
elections they would try to become citi
zens in the fullest sense of tho word
have an interest in the city.
I anticipate a great improvement in
the moral, social and financial condition
of the present non-taxpaying citizens as
the chief benefit to come from tho adop
tion of the suffrage amendment.
I would make the amount of taxable
property requisite for suffrago right less 1
than in the amendment proposed.

A CRAZE FOR CALENDARS.
"No more calendars given out," or
some legend to that effect can be seen ;
prominently displa3'ed in the offices of
many insurance companies. The prac
tice of distributing calendars and alma- '
nncs as advertising mediums is at the
height of ha popularity. Nearly all ,
those intended for uae during the present !
year have by this time leoii scattered I
broadcast through the land and are now '
upon the walls of office?. The notice
that "no more calendars Hill be given
out serves as a warning to waste paper '
merchants whose myrmidons feed during .
tho first week of the year on those who
issue (he almannc3. As a rule a custom-,
or of a corporation whose appearance is
in his favor, on applying inaide, finds
that a clerk is able to fish out a calendar i
from somewhere in spite of this notice. '
The calendars on account of competi
tion, aro getting more beautifel every
year. The insurance companies realize
that when a business man receives twelve
of them he can only utilize a certain pro-,
portion, say half, and, of course, the '
prettiest oists are selected. The idea on f
which lite calendars are baa.nl is, of
course, to familiarize people with tho
company giving them. It is not expected
that a man will patronize a corporation
merely because it gives him a calendar.
Experience shows though, that people. !
through seeing the name of an insurance i
concern day after day, will, when its
namo crop3upin conversation elsewhere,
manifest good deal of confidence in it.
They know that the name is a household
word to them, and. although they hardly
know how it became so, they retain tho
impression that tho company mentioned
is an excellent one to trade with.
Tho Philadelphia company that has the
reputation of issuing the largest number
of calondars this year Eent out 175,000, at
a cost of G0 per thousand. These went
all over North America. About f00 of
their agents received consignments of
calendars, with their name? and that of
their town and city specially printed on
them. Half a dozen other companies or
dered as many as j7),0000 and 7.",000 each.
The cost of tho calendars generally used
by insurance companies is $10 to $200
per 1,030. Of the latter class thero are
specimens that are real works of art, and
they, of course, aro not distributed indis
criminately, as are tho cheaper ones.
The dearest kind of sheet calendars, all
other things being equal, are those to
which are affixed tables for each day in
tho year. It takes considerable trouble
to prepare them.
Tho companies arc also annually taxed
at this season to supply the demand of
their agents for blotters. In addition to
the advertisements of the corporations
theso also have on them calondars in
minature. Half a million little blotters
is not a very largo record for concerns
having sub-offices all over the country.
In some of tho towns where agents 6f
Philadelphia companies are located, law
yers, editors and business men generally
depend largely upon the agents for this
department of their stationery. In vtry
small towns tho agents, although they
may give away more cash iu the shape of
blotters man tuey receive m tho way of
business, daren't object. In some" vil
lages in Colorado, Kansas and New Mex
ico, where sand is sprinkled over tho pa
per to dry the ink, it is said that tho na
tivcswonld not know what blotting paper
was wero it not for the insurance agents.
