SUPPOSED TO BE CoMING.-Thc Her.
aid asks: "How many people will come
from the East this year with the intention
of settling on the Pacific Coast" We have
collated from the Eastern papers tho fol-
lowing promises Of immigration from vari-
Gus localities: From New York City, H..
900; from Philadelphia, 5000; from Bos-
ton, 5000; from New Orleans, $4,000;
from Chicago, $4,000; from Cincinnati,
1000; from St. Louis, 10000. An immi'
grafton from the Southern States generally
has been reckoned at not less than 81, 900,
exclusive of New Orleans. These figures
make total Of l37 600.

MORE OpPosIrIoN.-A rumor reaches
us that the Oregon Steam Navigation Com
pany contemplate placing line Of stages
upon the route from Olympia to Monticello.
We hope this is untrue, and give our rca-
sons for it: Mr.. Davis, the present mail
contractor, is one of our oldest residents,
who has ever done his duty to the public
and to the Government, as carrier. 1t is
not claimed that the route poys anything
big, and can therefore only be coveted by
the company as connecting link for their
steamers on the Sound and the river.
Would it not be as we'll for them to make such
arrangements with Mr.. Davis as will secure
prompt transportation Of their passengers,
as to monopolize route whose transit is
over road that has been almost entirely
built by the present mail contractor, and
Mr.. Winsor, his predecessor? We suggest
this for the consideration Of parties inter-
cstcd We have no interest in the matter
further than the preference we always ac-
cord to the pioneer settlers, who unaided
have brought the Territory to the thresh.
hold of prosperous era. 1t does not &C.
cord with our ideas Of justice, that this
should now be withheld from them. If
there was demand for two lines, We should
not be backward in extending to new
line cordial welcome, but under present
circumstances it would be deserving our own
people to do it.

RANDALL PARDoNED.-The Herald
contains dispatch to citizen in Portland
announcing that Randall, the Radical Post
master, sentenced to twelve years in the
Penitentiary for mail robbery, has been
pardoned by tho President If he had
been Democrat, would the pressure have
been made to have this done? We think
it was worse than useless to 60 through the
farce of a trial and conviction, for what in
these days is no crime, or if crime, involv-
ing ninc-tenths Of the dominant party.
We thought all along loyal" man like
Randall, would cheat the law, and we have
not lost our guess.

Everything for the Party

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-The report Of
the Conference Committee on tho Constit
utional amendment came up.
Edmunds said the Conference Committee
had struck out the very lite Of the rcsolu-
ton.
Pomeroy and Howard also denounced
the report of tho Committee.
Wilson said he had fought slavery for
thirty years and had always demanded what
was right, and now he was willing to take
what he could get. He believed every
step made the next one easier. He should
continue to agitate equal rights to all men
until their rights were undisputed.
Pomeroy moved to disagree, and ask fur
Their conference.
Morton said the Committee had exceed
cd their powers by striking out the vital
portion Of the text which had already boon
agreed to BY both houses. The Committee
had acted unwisely and in violation Of par
liamentary law. Thsy had no right to
strike out the proposition in which both
houses had concur'ed, namely: No State
should deny the right to vote or hold Of
6ce for certain specified reasons. He be-
lisved half loaf better than no bread, and
would vote to agree to the report if nothing
better could be had; but this case would
be a warning never again to entrust any
important measure to . Committee OF
Conference.
Sawyer explained the position Of the
Republican party At the South.
Frelinghuysen urged the passage Of the
amendment, because the Republican party
would not have two-thirds majority iu the
next Congress. .34.
Stewart said = number Of legislatures
wore now in session, and If the amendment
passed it could bs ratified; butifthe Senate
disagree, Ill was lost.
Davis said that the Republicans might
expect Democrats enough to give them .
swo-thirds majority. Laughter.
Hendricks thought such an appeal the
most extraordinary ever made in the Sen.
ats-urging the passage Of resolution for
the reason assigned BY Frelinghuyssn and
Stewart.
Frsliughuysen said he had since ascer.
tanned that the Republican party would
have . clear two-tbirds majority in the
House, and he therefore withdrew his yea-
son.
Hendricks spoke till four O'Clock when
the Senate took recess.

The Northern Pacific Railroad.

We had hoped with this issue to give
our readers some definite information as
to what the past Congress has done to fur
thcr the interests of the Northern Pacific
Railroad, but up to the present time it is
all speculation. a very excellent bill was
prepared by the friends Of the company,
which we will give to our readers soon as
VIC find Congress has acted upon it. 1t
not at all probable that the joint rcsolu-
ton, over which our contemporary on the
hill rejoices, combines any Of the essential
provisions of that bill. From our CLEAN
ings and kilograms, we are reluctantly
forced to the conclusion that the joint res
olution does nothing but remove the re-
striction imposed in the charter which pro-
hibited the company from executing mort
cages. So far as this goes, it operates to
the advantage Of the company.
We have always regarded the franchise
granted to the Northern Pacific Railroad,
as one Of great value. Whether it is suffi-
cient to induce the company to undertake
the work without additional aid, we are
not prepared to say. The removal Of the
restriction will thus far advance the enter
prise. The company insists upon some
thing more, and we think justly. They
do not ask for the prodigal Legislation
granted to the Central Pacific Railroad, but
they do ask that the Government will not
only grant them permission to mortgage,
but that the Government shall loan them
its credit, to the extent Of guaranteeing the
payment Of the interest upon bonds so is
sued. This VIC think the Government can
safely do, to the great advantage Of the ell
tcrprize and without any risk to the Treas
ury. When this legislation is obtaincd. all
is safe. Until then, we incline to the be-
lief that all is somewhat muddled.

= The Republicans thinks that Flan-
